Val is released from prison after serving 28 years for refusing to give up one of his close criminal associates. His best friend, Doc, is there to pick him up, and the two soon reunite with another old pal, Hirsch. Their bond is as strong as ever, and they reflect on glories gone by. And despite their age, their capacity for mayhem is still very much alive and well, and bullets fly as they make a valiant effort to compensate for the decades of crime, drugs and sex they've missed. But one of the friends is keeping a dangerous secret: he's been put in an impossible quandary by a former mob boss, and the time for him to find an acceptable alternative is running out. As the sun rises on the guys' reunion, their position becomes more and more desperate and they finally confront their past once and for all.

See S. Chugerman, Lester F. Ward, the American Aristotle (1939, repr. 1965).
Lester F. Ward (June 18, 1841–April 18, 1913) was an American botanist, paleontologist, and sociologist. He served as the first president of the American Sociological Association.
Ward was born in Joliet, Illinois.
By the early 1880s the new field of sociology had become dominated by ideologues of the left and right, both determined to claim "the science of society" as their own. The champion of the conservatives and businessmen was Herbert Spencer; he was opposed on the left by Karl Marx. Although Spencer and Marx disagreed about many things they were similar in that their systems were static: they both claimed to have devined the immutable stages of development that a society went through and they both taught that mankind was essentially helpless before the force of evolution.
With the publication of Dynamic Sociology in 1883, Lester Ward hoped to restore the central importance of experimentation and the scientific method to the field of sociology. For Ward science wasn't cold or impersonal, it was human centered and results oriented. As he put it in the Preface to Dynamic Sociology: "The real object of science is to benefit man. A science which fails to do this, however agreeable its study, is lifeless. Sociology, which of all sciences should benefit man most, is in danger of falling into the class of polite amusements, or dead sciences. It is the object of this work to point out a method by which the breath of life may be breathed into its nostrils."
Ward theorized that poverty could be minimized or eliminated by the systematic intervention of society. Mankind wasn't helpless before the impersonal force of nature and evolution – through the power of Mind, man could take control of the situation and direct the evolution of human society. This theory is known as telesis. Also see: meliorism, sociocracy and public sociology. A sociology which intelligently and scientifically directed the social and economic development of society should institute a universal and comprehensive system of education, regulate competition, connect the people together on the basis of equal opportunities and cooperation, and promote the happiness and the freedom of everyone.
Ward was a strong advocate for equal rights for women and even theorized that women were naturally superior to men, much to the scorn of mainstream sociologists. In this regard, Ward presaged the rise of feminism, and especially the difference feminism of writer's such as Harvard's Carol Gilligan, who have developed the claims of female superiority. Ward is now considered a feminist writer by historians such as Ann Taylor Allen.
While Marx and communism/socialism didn't catch on in the United States, Spencer and his theories of social Darwinism (note: Ward disliked the term social Darwinism and objected to Darwin's name being applied to theories advocated by Spencer and his supporters. See Discussion page for a quote by Ward on this issue.) became famous: he was the leading light for conservatives and the power elite. Ward placed himself in direct opposition to Spencer and Spencer's American disciple, William Graham Sumner, who had become the most well known and widely read American sociologist by single-mindedly promoting the principles of laissez faire and survival of the fittest. To quote the historian Henry Steele Commager: "Ward was the first major scholar to attack this whole system of negativist and absolutist sociology and he remains the ablest.... Before Ward could begin to formulate that science of society which he hoped would inaugurate an era of such progress as the world had not yet seen, he had to destroy the superstitions that still held domain over the mind of his generation. Of these, laissez faire was the most stupefying, and it was on the doctrine of laissez faire that he trained his heaviest guns. The work of demolition performed in Dynamic Sociology, Psychic Factors and Applied Sociology was thorough."
As a political approach, Ward's system became known as social liberalism, as distinguished from the classical liberalism of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries which featured such thinkers as Adam Smith and John Stuart Mill. While classical liberalism had sought prosperity and progress through laissez faire, Ward's social liberalism sought to enhance social progress through direct government intervention. Ward believed that in large, complex and rapidly growing societies human freedom could only be achieved with the assistance of a strong democratic government acting in the interest of the individual. The characteristic element of Ward's thinking was his faith that government, acting on the empirical and scientifically based findings of the science of sociology, could be harnessed to create a near-utopian social order. In this sense, his views have been labeled by some conservative critics as a sort of "soft Marxism". However any objective review of Ward's work would show that he had little in common with Marx, other than a concern for the dispossessed. Ward views would be more accurately described as pragmatic: he was in favor of what works, what is effective, and he dismissed socialism's claim that the government should own all means of production as untested and unproven.
Ward is often ignored or marginalized when the history of sociology is taught today, but at the turn of the 19th and 20th century he was well known, widely studied and highly respected (as could be seen when he was elected the first president of the American Sociological Association). Ward's thinking had a profound impact on the administrations of Presidents Woodrow Wilson and Franklin D. Roosevelt and the modern Democratic Party. The liberalism of the Democrats today is not that of Smith and Mill, which stressed non-interference from the government in economic issues, but of Ward, which stressed the unique position of government to effect positive change. In this sense, Ward's thinking typified the idealism of American progressivism at the turn of the last century, and its faith in a scientifically managed, interventionist government.
While Roosevelt's experiments in social engineering were popular and effective, the full effect of the forces Ward set in motion came to bear half a century after his death, in the Great Society programs of President Lyndon B. Johnson. Their ultimate outcome was an inefficient, high tax and unpopular "welfare state" created by politicians who, in an desperate attempt to get elected, pandered to every constituency, especially the powerful ones (i.e. business, the military and various social groups). As Commager put it, "...he [Ward] never fully understood the pressures which in the last analysis control policy. The most penetrating of men, he penetrated to possibilities rather than to actualities; the most rational of men, he made too little allowance for irrationality. Like Sumner he was a product of the age of reason, confident that in the end the reason of man would assure his felicity."
Ward realized that the path to human progress was not easy or smooth and he hoped that the science of sociology, a science which was but in its infancy, would have the ability to learn from past mistakes and creatively, dynamicly and energeticly deal with problems as they develop and advise the government authorities as to the proper way forward in an increasingly complex and interdependent world.
Ward died in Washington, D.C..
"Thus far, social progress has in a certain awkward manner taken care of itself, but in the near future it will have to be cared for. To do this, and maintain the dynamic condition against all the hostile forces which thicken with every new advance, is the real problem of sociology considered as an applied science" --Lester Ward
"And now from the point of view of intellectual development it self we find her side by side, and shoulder to shoulder with him furnishing, from the very outset, far back in prehistoric, presocial, and even prehuman times, the necessary complement to his otherwise one-sided, headlong, and wayward career, without which he would soon have warped and distorted the race and rendered it incapable of the very progress which he claims exclusively to inspire. And herefore again, even in the realm of intellect, where he would fain reign supreme, she has proved herself fully his equal and is entitled to her share of whatever credit attaches to human progress hereby achieved." – Lester Ward
"When a well-clothed philosopher on a bitter winter's night sits in a warm room well lighted for his purpose and writes on paper with pen and ink in the arbitrary characters of a highly developed language the statement that civilisation is the result of natural laws, and that man's duty is to let nature alone so that untrammeled it may work out a higher civilisation, he simply ignores every circumstance of his existence and deliberately closes his eyes to every fact within the range of his faculties. If man had acted upon his theory there would have been no civilisation, and our philosopher would have remained a troglodyte." – Lester Ward

Written by Right Side News
On Jan. 24, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) introduced S. 150, her long-anticipated bill to ban "assault weapons" and "large" magazines. Contrary to media claims that Feinstein wants to "reinstate" the 1994 ban, the bill will go much further toward her stated long-term goal of gun confiscation, imposing a host of absurdly broad definitions and onerous restrictions:
Though not requiring registration of currently owned firearms under the National Firearms Act (as Feinstein threatened in December), the new bill would go far beyond the failed 1994 semi-auto ban by requiring background checks on the private transfer of any "grandfathered" firearm.
Finally, unlike the 1994 ban, the new bill will not include an automatic "sunset" clause, so it would remain in effect unless repealed.
In announcing the bill, Feinstein misrepresented the effectiveness of past semi-auto bans. For example, she claimed that Maryland's "assault pistol" ban had reduced crime. But in Maryland, the murder trend after the state passed its ban on so-called "assault pistols" was far worse than in the rest of the country. Similarly, in California, during the first five years after passage of the state's 1989 "assault weapon" ban, the state's murder rate increased 26 percent, compared to an 11 percent increase in the rest of the country. During the first five years after California expanded the ban starting in 2000, the state's murder rate increased 10 percent, compared to a six percent decrease in the rest of country.
Feinstein also misrepresented the findings of a congressionally mandated study completed by Jeffrey Roth and Christopher Koper for the Urban Institute.
In the handouts provided by her office, Feinstein claimed the report said "Assault weapons are disproportionately involved in murders with multiple victims, multiple wounds per victim, and police officers as victims." But here's whatthe report really found:
"Some of our own analyses added evidence that assault weapons are disproportionately involved in murders with multiple victims, multiple wounds per victim, and police officers as victims" (emphasis added), but "We were unable to detect any reduction to date in two types of gun murders that are thought to be closely associated with assault weapons, those with multiple victims in a single incident and those producing multiple bullet wounds per victim. We did find a reduction in killings of police officers since mid-1995. However, the available data are partial and preliminary, and the trends may have been influenced by law enforcement agency policies regarding bullet-proof vests."
The misuse and misinterpretation of study findings has become a common tactic of anti-gun politicians because they know that the 1994 ban had no real impact on crime. In one of the frequent moments of candor that make his allies cringe, Vice-President Biden admitted as much in an online forum Jan. 24, saying, "[I]t is true that the vast majority of gun deaths in America are not a consequence of the use of an assault weapon" and that a ban "is not an answer to all the problems." Nonetheless, Biden claimed the ban is a "rational limitation" because in his opinion, people concerned about self-defense should just use double-barreled shotguns anyway.
Despite advice like this, Americans have voted with their pocketbooks, buying about 50 million semi-automatic firearms--including nearly 4 million AR-15 rifles--since 1991. And, since the Supreme Court said in District of Columbia v. Heller that a handgun ban was unconstitutional in part because "handguns are the most popular weaponchosen by Americans for self-defense in the home," popular rifles should be just as firmly protected.

Replies to This Posting
Re: 19.6. zürich only 2 days and i still didnt get an email for the vip package
You'll get an email from Ground CTRL about 48 hours prior to your show with instructions on what time to meet the coordinator and where. If you got just the Platinum VIP ($149) and you didn't get your email you just need to show up at the venue a couple of hours before the door opens. Typically the VIP coordinator will meet you at Will Call/Box Office an hour before the doors open. Things will be alright...just show up even if you don't get your email.

We're filming a documentary as part of the ADMCi Commission for Research and Development to tell the story of how the motorcycle commission has come together. Admittedly, this took an unexpected turn with a motorcycle accident completely unrelated to the project a few weeks back. As a result, we've ended up capturing some of the fall-out from the healing process, which we thought we might share here. Sort of an exercise in humility… Frank Popper, our documentarian, is asking the questions.
FRANK POPPER: [while mic'ing me.] You're so quiet, it's almost like talking with a priest. It's like being in a confessional… (1)
JIM JACOBY: That's funny to hear. I've often consciously used how quiet I am as a gage that people are paying attention to me. I know if someone leans in and says, "What?" that at least they're paying attention. That said, it's a bit of a power-play, honestly. More than that, I'm beginning to think that this 'confessional' aspect of my demeanor has some real validity. It seems like people feel very comfortable opening up to me with some of their deepest, darkest secrets. They'll foist their entire life's directional-problems on me and kind of sit there, looking at me for answers.
I've gotten a little more forthcoming about responding to them that the answer is inside them, not me. I used to think I needed to take these seeming obligations on as a sort of responsibility. Now I'm much more selective about that.
FDP: Given the duration of the healing process here, you've mentioned that it can wear on you; that it gets depressing. Can you tell me more about that? (2)
JRJ: I keep saying this, but I'll put it down one more time… From the minute I bounced off that tree in Indiana, I knew I'd been given a gift of some kind. I knew I needed to be conscious of the people who would be coming into my life, paying close attention to the lessons I could learn, and generally changing the tenor of my day-to-day life. Given the radical change — really, a massive slow-down — it's caused a complete recalibration. For the most part — the vast part — this has been good. I think about my use of time, who I let into my world, and how I prioritize much more carefully.
That said, time to reflect can pile up. Eventually, your mind will pile on and make you feel sorry for yourself that you're just alone or that you really don't have a choice to do anything other than where you're stuck. There might be something more noble in making the conscious decision to be more selective with my time. But, maybe this is just the first step toward re-programming that use of time.
Regardless, like I said, it can get you feeling sorry for yourself when you focus too much on the fact that you don't have a choice. It feels like you're trapped, like your world has shrunk more than you'd want it to. I'm in one room of my house now, and that's it for another ten weeks. My world is confined. I battle out of it through phone meetings, skype conference calls, participating in the podcast, writing blog posts, networking based on the momentum of the great NPR story from Marketplace.
That all helps. But again, every now and then, you just feel like you've lost some of you freedom of choice when a walker is your only means of transportation and sometimes you fear that even that might be less of an option or could fail you somehow. I worry that someone will take it. Or what if someone breaks in? I can't defend myself or run. That's scary, frankly.
FDP: I've seen some interesting reactions to people beginning to comprehend that it will in fact be you riding for the land-speed record in Bonneville, especially after this accident. Can you describe some of the reactions you've gotten so far…? (3)
JRJ: The vast majority are the same. Basically, this: "Wait, I'm sorry, what? You mean, you? You'll be actually riding for the record?" This is usually the third or fourth time they've heard the information, but for whatever reason they just don't process it. Then at some point it breaks through, again, usually on the third or fourth attempt.
That said, for some it simply doesn't break through in some cases. My parents have never addressed it, despite me mentioning it directly in emails, sending news stories talking about it, and more. My in-laws just flat-out ignore it. They'll make passive-aggressive comments that I won't be riding a motorcycle anymore now that I've had this accident. I'll respond that they're right… until I got to Bonneville for the record. And it's funny, you could be looking right at them and they'll just stare right through you and move onto the next topic. It happened this afternoon, actually.
I'm assuming that means they don't want to address it… or can't. I'm not entirely sure.
FDP: It's interesting to think that your responses here could be serialized and released as teasers to the upcoming documentary. Not that we know exactly what that might be, but it seems like people getting to know you as a character would be powerful. In a way it reminds me of the build-up to the Blair Witch Project. (4)
JRJ: Perhaps, except that would mean that these posts would be coming from beyond the grave. How are these blog updates happening when Jim Jacoby is dead?? There must be a wrinkle or a bug in WordPress. It's not possible to send updates from the beyond. Or is it? Maybe I could set these up to publish after the speed run. The computer wouldn't give a damn if I made it or not. So, yeah, actually that is a possibility. That would be kinda funny actually. A little dark. But pretty funny.
FDP: From the moment of the accident to the moment of your thought about Bonneville, how much time elapsed and what were your first thoughts about the speed run? (5)
JRJ: That's a great question. Here's the thing. As I was in the slide and the tree was closing distance between me and the bike (because at that point, the tree is moving not you — it's like a horror movie where the hallway compresses without you having to walk through it), the timing was actually inverse. Here's how it happened: Time itself compresses in a moment of intense fear. Suddenly you have TONs of it. Too much. Concurrently, you know you're moving faster, far faster, than you want to. So as you're on this terrible funhouse ride toward the tree, you have a lot of time to think.
My first thought was that I was going to die and that I didn't want to. I really didn't want to. My next thought was, "Where is that life-flashing-before-my-eyes movie?" because I'd much rather be recapping that than closing the distance with this tree. And my third thought, before I hit the tree was, "What is this going to do for Bonneville?" Then, bing-bang-boom, I'm floating backward through the air and land flat on my back.
So, the thought was miiseconds before the impact. That said, the next round was before calling JT who I felt I owed an obligation to. I had to be the rider, so I minimized the healing time. No one told me directly but I assumed 4-6 weeks based on what I was picking up anecdotally. I wasn't willing to let go of the mid-August target. He and I agreed we'd play it by ear until we learned more but that, of course, we'd be very careful with the healing process because you can really screw yourself up for the rest of your life if you don't do this part right.
Two weeks after the accident I got the definitive news that it was a 12-week healing process — no ifs, ands, or buts. That directly conflicted with the USFRA sanctioned run so we had to begin talking about different dates, different sanctioned events, even back-up riders.
I'm still not willing to compromise my place on the seat of that bike, but I'm being forced to be open to at least alternatives as we make our way to the race season which is basically mid-August through early October.
FDP: So what is the extent of the damage to you? What happened? (6)
JRJ: Well, I wasn't very proactive about making sure I got pictures of my insides, but there were a lot in terms of x-rays and CT scans. The main damage and main focus was a crack in my pelvis. That appears to be on the back side of the socket that holds the ball-joint of my hip/thigh bone. It's essentially inoperable, which is sort of good news… as long as it doesn't shift. That's also where the internal bleeding was happening which was really the only time I was genuinely concerned. Not knowing if your body is running in some direction internally for a while is weird and discomforting. Fortunately, it was just a natural leak from the bone and didn't continue.
The other major injury was my wrist. Oddly, I didn't request to even have this checked out until the second day in the hospital when I said, "You know, I think there might be something wrong with my left wrist too." They brought the machine into my room for that one which was really cool and diagnosed it on the spot. The little bones that connect my left thumb to my wrist were snapped. Apparently that's bad because those bones in particular don't get good blood-flow so they have a habit of 'dying' if the healing process doesn't go entirely right. I think they called it narcosy or something.
So that's what broke. The first few nights at home were tough, but the worst was making my way back to bed in the evening. In retrospect, I think my body was going back into shock each night because as I'd struggle back with my walker from the family room to my bed in the kitchen i'd be wracked with freezing chills and nausea that didn't go away for quite some time until I settled down. I was on fairly strong pain medication at that point, which by now (three weeks in), I've been able to taper off pretty significantly.
The last sort of discovery was in the soft tissue. The inside of my left bicep had a big knot that must have been an impact area with the tree. It drained for about a week and turned my whole arm black, making it difficult to bend my elbow. For a brief while I thought I'd also broken ribs, but that's netted out to this feeling of having done 1000 sit-ups… about 950 more than I'm able to reasonably do, so the muscles in my gut and my chest just feel torn up. That seems to be the last revelation of the pain and damage.
FDP: You mentioned you felt obligated to JT in some ways. When did you actually speak with him and what was his reaction? (7)
JRJ: I forget why, but he had called as he regularly does, so we ended up talking the day after the crash later in the afternoon while I was still in the hospital. We had some pre-amble and then I just rolled it out there for him. He took it all very much in stride. In a way, he reacted like a proud parent welcoming his son to 'the club.' It was something like, "Well, good for you. Now you've had your first crack-up so you got that out of the way." I felt the same way though actually. With the Bonneville run looming, I had started thinking more and more about crashing, how to fall, what I would do, etc. Now I could let a lot of that go because I'd had a much worse experience, I believe, than I'd likely have at Bonneville. There isn't a tree to be seen there in ten miles in any direction, so that should be good.
Oh, and he asked if I "wrecked my balls." I assured him all was well. Apparently he's had some problems in previous crashes.
FDP: As I'm roaming around your house here, I'm curious about your design aesthetic. You seem to have strong opinions on what's good, what's bad, and why. What do you look for? (8)
JRJ: I'm a fan of great design, not a visual or architectural designer in the traditional sense myself. My own criteria are functionality, what I would call 'mark of the human hand,' and the ability to read a story in a piece of work. Our house is designed in an arts and crafts style which Dawn and I love. It satisfies us because it tells a local design story about a movement born here in Northern Illinois. It's also exceptionally functional in terms of how lighting and windows are handled, and just the right amount of ornamentation or visual language without being either stark on one end or showy on the other.
Beyond that, I look for a sense of the person who made the thing somehow captured in that thing. So even if woodwork is milled, you have a sense that overall the designer was working through a storyline of sorts, creating harmony through a limited set of visual cues. That excites me because you can essentially 'read their work.' It's something I've only been able to articulate more recently as a result of hanging out with JT and David Lenk and Jim Cohen who are classically trained and proactively look for an opening to 'read' a design… both on the surface and from the inside out.
By the way, it was during the arts and crafts movement when the word 'craftsmanship' was coined and popularized in the states.
FDP: With all the beauty in your home, the balance of design and integration with the architecture and the furniture, I can't help but ask, what's your fascination with skulls? They're all over the place and it seems an odd juxtaposition… and yet it works. What's going on? (9)
JRJ: That interest goes way back. A stand-out moment was when I was first dating Dawn and I somewhat carefully mentioned that I was interested in acquiring a human skull someday, but I wasn't sure how to go about it. Without missing a beat, she whipped out a catalog called Skulls Unlimited that she shopped from frequently and there they were! Pages of museum-quality human 'heads.' I couldn't believe it. This was the girl for me!
Dawn studied technical drawing at the School of the Art Institute in Chicago (SAIC), so she's not a weirdo. She needed these things for study and replication. In fact, we've never actually purchased a human skull, but we do have a lot of other ones… cats, bats, rams, and so on. We also have a lot of art that represents or emotes human skulls and skeletons. I have lots of books. One of my favorites being Empire of Death (coincidentally by a fellow NIU alum), which catalogs the world's greatest ossuaries (places where they store bones or inter the dead).
I learned a lot about myself from that book. There's an appropriate fascination with the artifacts of the dead. As a human being, you address and discuss it with yourself. It turns out studies about cultures that expose death more proactively are mentally healthier than those who hide it. In France in the 1800's there were huge tourist attractions for massive ossuaries, and tours ran all around the clock. Eventually they were shut down because they didn't manage the disease aspect of these collections very well, and they just fell out of favor once disease was linked to bad water originating from poorly managed cemeteries, etc.
Anyway, this is a long way of saying it all comes back to Hamlet or any similar situation. Conversation with death is an important personal discussion and the memento mori help prompt it. I collect things that help me do that both because I love them aesthetically and because my mind and body seem to want to have that discussion regularly.
FDP: You mention you've been trying to think more deeply about the speed run and maybe how it's affecting the people around you. Tell me about watching Crash Reel, which you mentioned was a pretty moving experience. (10)
JRJ: In a way, you could criticize a movie like Crash Reel as 'accident porn.' I'm not a fan of that and I'd never have watched it under what I might call 'normal circumstances.' A good friend, Bryan Campen, had mentioned that I should watch it because of the great human interest aspect and the family story and so on. I'd actually purchased it on iTunes a week before my own accident, but had never gotten up the energy to watch it.
So, the second day I was back home from the hospital, I fired it up on my laptop and resolved to face it. For those who don't know, it's a documentary about a kid named Kevin Pearce who emerges as one of the top snowboard competitors in the world. They follow his rise to stardom and his back-and-forth competition with Sean White, probably the most famous representative of that sport. The promoters for the sport increased the size of the half-pipes these kids compete on and they were getting bigger and better 'air,' doing more amazing tricks, and so on… Until, eventually, in a meet just a few weeks before the Olympics, Kevin had a horrible crash in a practice run trying to complete his newest trick. He catches the front lip of his board at the top of the pipe and just slams his head face-first into the snow. It's incredibly hard for me to watch and I get choked up even recalling it. I cried through the first third of the movie and I'm not sure why.
Then this amazing drama begins to unfold. The story becomes about Kevin's family rallying around him. His brother, who was also a competitive snowboarder, quits his job to focus full time on Kevin's recovery and therapy. His family discusses Kevin's eventual desire to return to competition and they ultimately do battle over the kitchen table about whether or not he can or should.
Of course, Kevin does, because it's how he defines himself. But he's simply not the same person he was before. Traumatic brain injuries, it turns out, are regularly repeated because athletes go right back to what they were doing before their first injury, so repetition of two- or three-times are not uncommon.
Eventually Kevin makes peace with it all and shifts gears on his life. But again, the story isn't about a horrific crash, necessarily. It's about his family's love and understanding and pain as he goes through his personal arc of reconciliation with the very thing that defined him and was then snatched away.
While I'm not going through anything nearly as profound, the movie has given me a much better sense of the people around me and that they too share unwittingly in my commitment to this goal. And, so, I need to include them in the decisions I make. I'm much less cavalier about it and it's only because I now can understand that inclusiveness on a much deeper level.

Big deal, I got my NXT for $190 USD at a desperate hobby shop.

cheerios for you will but the post is still useful and a big deal to some of us. why do some commenters just have to be negative???

Will, if you know any place selling the NXT for $190 these days, be sure to let us know. I actually got my kit for $180 a couple of years ago, but have never seen anything like it again.
- May 13, 2008, 3:35:00 AM
For those who have patience, or are looking for a 2nd kit, then I suggest waiting for Barne's and Noble to have a Mastercard sale again.
I was able to pick up an NXT by joining their site for $20, using a Mastercard for the purchase and getting the set @ 50% off. It's some kind of MC promo there. 50% off the highest ticket item. In the end it was $109 + shipping.
- May 13, 2008, 4:42:00 AM
They're as low as $225+shipping on brickLink.
- May 13, 2008, 5:12:00 AM
Anonymous - you bought the NXT through B&N?
- May 15, 2008, 11:50:00 AM
Yes, I did. I'm in Canada and B&N is one of the few US sites that ships toys up here. We're severely gouged for the NXT set at retail price here ($325 CDN), so when B&N has that Mastercard promotion, a lot of people cash in on it.
However...I see that maybe TOO many people have cashed in. It's no longer on the B&N site anymore....

"Finances" is often listed as a major stressor in relationships. In today's economic climate, many are struggling to make ends meet, or at least have had to adjust their lifestyle. It stands to reason that couples may not see eye to eye on this topic. This is where open, honest communication is especially important. Each of you deserves to be heard, AND remember, your partner ALSO deserves to be heard. Listen to each other respectfully and calmly. This can go a long way toward resolving conflicts.

Is the economy affecting your relationship?Last edited by Patricia Martin; 10-05-2009, 09:41 AM.Tags: None
The economy didn't/isn't affecting our relationship yet, but I think that's because a few years ago, we had major financial troubles stemming from a layoff following a major medical issue and the subsequent debt. So, we had already been there. We also make saving money a priority, just in case something should happen to someone's job so there's money to get us until another job becomes available.
Excellent, Rita. You have already had "practice" with this issue and now you know how to guard against an economic downfall. Putting aside some savings is likely to help you feel more secure, and therefore, less stressed. We can be more compassionate with one another when we are not stressed!

CRESTVIEW — When Renee and Gentry Nickell made their 13-year-old daughter stand on a street corner near their home March 16 and hold a sign about her bad attitude, they never imagined the response.
Passing motorists took photos of Kayla Nickell and her sign and posted them on Facebook. A story that appeared in the Northwest Florida Daily News several days later spread to media outlets around the world.
Although Kayla was not named, she was quickly outed by the intense media attention.
"Once people realized who we were, at that point we knew her identity couldn't be protected," Renee said.
After screening multiple requests to appear on local, national and international news shows, the Nickell family chose three.
Renee and Kayla made their first appearance Thursday morning in a live satellite interview on "The Lorraine Show," Great Britain's popular morning program.
"What I'm really happy about with the whole experience was Kayla got to talk and Kayla got to take responsibility," Renee said. "She got to show the world that she wasn't traumatized by the whole thing. She got to share her side of the story."
The Nickells also are considering interviews with the BBC and "The Steve Harvey Show."
The Nickells said they had their daughter hold the sign at the corner of Ferdon Boulevard and U.S. Highway 90 in Crestview to try to snap her out of a downward spiral. Her father stood with her at the intersection.
"We got to the point where we didn't know what else to do," Renee said in the initial story in the Daily News.
Kayla said when her father handed her the sign and told her what she would have to do, she was "shocked and surprised."
While she was holding it she said her main feeling was embarrassment.
"I felt really embarrassed for me and my parents," she said Thursday. "Afterward, I gave my dad a big hug and told him I'm sorry for what I did."
Now she's glad her parents loved her enough to try to make her a better person. She has responded by not being as "flippy," which she defines by answering her parents with sassy remarks.
"My attitude's been better," she said. "I haven't been defiant.

Customer Reviews For Aperion HP Banana Plugs - 2 Pair
- Not for smaller gauges Mburt07
- Won't firmly grasp wire smaller than 12 gauge as screw runs through the bottom of the threads and then just spins, not tightening anymore. Would have been helpful to list that in the description for those not using 12 gauge, on the surrounds for instance. Other than that, they appear to be well made, though two of the twenty plugs were missing screws from the packages.
- Work great and easy to use Jeffrey F.
- After you have used banana plugs to connect your speakers, anything else will seem pretty primitive.
These plugs are simple to use and are very well made. I just finished installing 24 of them!
- I could say these are excellent banana plugs for the price, but in fact these are excellent banana plugs at any price!!
- outstanding William B.
- Aperion's banana plugs might be about 50 cents more than some of those you find on the internet, but after factoring in high shipping prices, you'll come out ahead with these, and they're as good as any you can find. I can't believe they ship these for free.
- Good Plugs Todd S.
- I usually use Monster banana plugs, but got these when I bought my new system.
Plugs are plugs, but these are fairly well made and get the job done.

Honda 'do more new' by Mcgarrybowen London
A new campaign launching the fourth-generation CR-V across Europe is the first work for Honda by Mcgarrybowen London since winning the assignment in July.
The tagline, "Do more new", aims to reflect a driver's desire to seek out new and exciting experiences. The TV work shows a man driving his CR-V through a portal that mysteriously opens up in a house.
It breaks on 22 October and is supported by print, outdoor and digital. The soundtrack is To Heal, performed by Underworld.

Cylinder heads are understandably a vital ingredient in any recipe for "porcupine" horsepower pie, so whether the big-block in your Corvette is being built for street performance, drag racing, road racing, autocrossing, or simply holding down the garage floor, the heads must be properly matched to the pistons, camshaft, and intended usage if an engine is to deliver anticipated performance. Countless numbers of big-blocks have had all visions of glory destroyed by misdirected "experts," who either selected the wrong castings, or took a wrong turn while modifying them for maximum power. Such mistakes aren't uncommon because ego and poor judgment frequently win out over common sense.
In spite of the vast array of cylinder heads produced by Chevrolet and a host of aftermarket manufacturers, there are usually only a few models that are truly applicable for an engine of a particular personality. Just as passenger car heads rarely provide the ultimate power levels on a race engine, race heads usually provide less than impressive results when installed on a true street engine. It all has to do with combustion chamber volume, port size and shape, and air flow characteristics.
Big-block cylinder heads cast by GM are most commonly identified by their casting numbers, which may be found in a variety of locations depending upon the particular head. However, the complete casting number is located beneath the valve cover, usually above an intake port. Additionally, either the last three digits of the casting number or the complete number can usually be found beneath one of the intake ports when a head is viewed from the combustion chamber side.
Rather than the complete number, only the last three digits are commonly used when referring to a specific casting. As an example, in machine shops, bench racing parlors, and other houses of high performance, casting number 6272990 is called simply a "990" casting. In the real world, the first four digits are virtually meaningless, as is the actual part number (6260482), which is used only when ordering a head from a Chevrolet dealer's parts department. However, once a cylinder head is out of its original box, a part number is of no use because the only identifying marks on the head itself are the casting numbers.
Back in the day when the big-block was introduced (1965), Chevrolet offered a variety of engines, each designed to deliver a specific level of performance. As fate would have it, cylinder heads were also designed to deliver specific performance characteristics. Big-block (Mark IV) engines originally configured for low and medium performance were fitted with cylinder heads having oval-shaped intake ports; high-performance big-blocks derived increased breathing capacity from heads with rectangular intake ports. The word "Pass" cast into a big-block head identifies it as being of the oval port persuasion; "Hi-Perf" cast into a head denotes rectangular ports. Early models of both oval and rectangular port heads have a bathtub-shape closed chamber; 1971 and later castings are usually of the open-chamber design.
Another characteristic that distinguishes early from late-model cast iron heads is the spark plug hole. The '69 and earlier heads are machined for gasketed 31/44-inch reach plugs (Champion "N" type) with a 131/416-inch hex; 1970 and later heads require a tapered seat 11/42-inch-reach plug with 51/48-inch hex. The aluminum heads installed on production engines continued to be machined for 31/44-inch-reach 131/416-inch hex spark plugs.

Arizona State Sun Devils
Graham: Winning a bowl game just the 'next step' for ASU program
Under first-year head coach Todd Graham, ASU gained bowl eligibility for the third consecutive season and defeated in-state rival UA.
But with just weeks left in his first season with the Sun Devils, Graham wants more from his team when they take on Navy on December 29 in the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl.
"You're going to a bowl game first to win it and for the experience second," Graham said Sunday after practice. "The bowl experience is a great experience, but it's not any good if you don't win.
"Our goal is to win our eighth game and to win a bowl championship. Winning a bowl championship would be the next step for our program."
The Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl will be Graham's fifth appearance (3-1) as a coach in a bowl game. He previously took Rice to the New Orleans Bowl and Tulsa to the GMAC and Hawaii Bowls.
While the extra game allows the Sun Devils to practice 15 more times in 2012, similar to a spring camp, Graham was also very pleased to have the chance to play in a California-based bowl game for recruiting purposes.
"It's a great location for us and for our recruiting base," said Graham. "To go to the Bay Area is nice, because obviously California is such an important place for us. It's where a lot of our players' families are, and we have almost 20,000 alumni in that area. It's a perfect situation for us."
Graham and Co. will go up against a good 7-4 Midshipmen team led by the running duo of Gee Gee Greene and Noah Copeland. Before they play ASU, however, Navy still has its annual rivalry game on December 8 against Army.
"I've gone up against them quite a number of times," said Graham. "They are fierce, they are disciplined and very tough. They do a great job executing their system and scheme."
The Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl will mark the first time the two programs have met in football.

AMD "Southern Islands" or nVidia "Kepler" based
Why? Traditionally Consoles have matched the current state of the art for graphics AT LAUNCH, this maintains that.

"Storage 240GB SSD Drive (user replaceable) supplemented by Cloud Storage Why? Hard drives are going out and SSD prices are falling. They are already under $1/GB in many cases." Yeah, that's going to fly. You've just added a couple hundred to the price of a PS4. As if it won't be expensive enough initially.
On consoles? I'm not saying servers and PCs are going to drop them but I'd bet that the REAL Xbox720 and PS4 will likely not have mechanical hard drives (the Wii U doesn't already). I could certainly be wrong but I just feel SSD prices have come down enough and console makers aren't going to want HUGE storage as they'll want to "encourage" you to use their Cloud.
Are hard drives going out? I think mechanical hard drives are going to be around for a long, long time.

The most important part of a console is the GPU. Even the WiiU is rumored to have an inferior CPU to the Xbox360/PS3 but it's offset by the fact is has a vastly superior GPU. A quad core 64bit ARMv8 CPU is no slouch either, this isn't your current cell phone/tablet chip and Dell and others are already working on data center servers made with these things. It's not going to beat a modern quad core Intel chip in processing power granted but it will consume much less power than just about anything that beats it. Also, again the integrated GPU has "compute" support and so when the system is running at full power (PS4 games) the SoC PowerVR GPU will be helping the CPU with things like physics since the more capable (but much greater power using) AMD/nVidia GPU will be handling the graphics. It's not going to beat a bleeding edge gaming PC still but it's better the PS3/Xbox360/Wii U I would bet and will likely outperform the rumored PS4 while ensuring full compatibility with the Vita.
ARM cpus may be suitable for handhelds, but i don't think they belong in home consoles. Gaming machines require something with more power. 8GB of ram isn't likely, especially when the most demanding pc games rarely use more than 3GB of system ram and still rarely need more than 1GB of vram at 1080p. And you've got to be joking to want an SSD, the prices of those are still far too high to even remotely consider for a console.

the OP was saying that a newly-released console (wii u not included) is always graphically on par w/ current PC graphics. for example, a PS4 running Crysis 2 will look as good as a PC running the game. that make sense?
What ? This couldn't be any less accurate,...
Every console is always at least one or two (if not more) generations behind current GPU (PC) counterparts.
Not even the recently released WiiU contained on-par graphics with top of the line GPUs (E6760 wiiU vs. a 7970 PC)

You might want to actually RESEARCH something before speculating.
I don't believe a SSD drive costs significantly more now than a Blu-Ray drive did when the PS3 launched. Also since it's user removable and offset by cloud storage the one 240GB could be the top end more expensive model with cheaper options available such as a 120GB SSD which in bulk could likely comprise under $100 of the price. Really though it's important to keep in mind that this is NOT a prediction or anything, just a fun little "What if?", VERY LITTLE (if any) of this is "going to fly".

As for RAM the most demanding PC games can't require more than 2GB of RAM because no developer is going to release a boxed game that won't run on a 32bit OS (without non-default setting changes). That's something a new console platform doesn't have to worry about because if they define a PS4 game as 64bit then everyone can address more. It's something they can offer developers that PC gaming can't even if their processors are slower. Even on a 64bit OS since boxed PC games are compiled for 32bit they CAN'T use more than 4GB of memory. PC games don't use more because they can't, I've no doubt that if developers were offered more they would use it, especially if they knew everyone on the platform had it as in the case of a console. It's also more important on a console since the game will be coming from a comparatively slow disc drive unless you are going to expect Console games to be installed like PC games before they can be run (which removes some of the "ease of use" of consoles.
