OK, it's been a bit of a roadblock lately with me trying to get back to my series of blogs looking back to earlier blog entries, but I think I'm finally over the hump at work. With that said, I'll be trying to catch up and post a few more "sequels" over the next week or so. So for this post I'm once again revisiting our look at how DC Universe Classics is reviving the 1980s touchstone toy line Kenner Super Powers Collection.
Of course, I'll first need to update that iconic pic of the 33 basic Super Powers characters again:
Wow. We're only one figure away from having the whole line announced. I don't think anyone saw this coming in their wildest dreams a couple of years ago when the line started, nor that it would happen this quickly. Sure, Scott and the Four Horsemen are big Super Powers fans, but the red tape involved has held back revisiting this line for quite some time. Not to mention DC Direct and Hasbro not having the confidence to look at it when they've had the chance. So for all the crap I and others give Mattel, my hat is off to them BIG TIME. No matter how flawed some of the execution might be, I still will take it over not getting these figures. Same goes for the hassle of getting con exclusives. I'm going to guess we'll see Samurai in either Wave 16 or 17. And then…the circle will be complete. Or will it?
After all, Kenner did plan on making a whole bunch more Super Powers figures before the line was axed. And they even sculpted a nice set of prototypes for the 4th wave, including Man-Bat, Silcon, Shockwave, Rocketman, El Dorado and Quadrex. While we only have Man-Bat out of that line-up (so far) in DC Universe Classics, we have gotten a lot of the characters that were presented in concept art. In fact, we have enough to complete a whole "imaginary wave", from a certain point of view. As shown below, Mattel has made nice versions of Man-Bat, John Stewart, Kid Flash, Blue Devil, The Wonder Twins, Clark Kent, Bizarro, Vigilante, Deathstroke, and Obsidian. I don't doubt that Creeper and 70s Supergirl are too far behind. What I really would love to see are new versions of the other Kenner created characters, like Quadrex and Executioner. And now that we have Cyclotron and Golden Pharaoh, that goal doesn't seem too far out of reach. More to come on this topic…
Would that wrap up the line then? Almost. While it's true we do have versions of some of the same characters in DCUC, we do not have the Super Powers versions. I don't think we'll necessarily get new sculpts for Orion or Kalibak, but we could get repaints that would put them much closer to their earlier counterparts. And of course, we still do need a Dick Grayson college age Robin! How great would it be to get a new 5-pack of these guys below (minus Kalibak) with the new figure being that Robin? I put the pic below together using some customs from other places online and some photoshop tweaking. And I have to say that the idea of a SP colored Mr. Freeze didn't really appeal to me until I saw Adventurevault's awesome custom repaint. I want this figure NOW. Custom Robin is by Lesternessman (just incredible work), Penguin is by Rich (check out his other DCUC repaints), and Kalibak is by Tyke. I highly recommend checking out all the links above. Batman and Superman are just more color accurate, with brighter grays and blues than the production figures. In general, ALL of the DCUC figures have duller, less vibrant paint jobs than SP did, even when the paint masters have them. I don't know how these get so dull in production, because when you see the prototypes at conventions they look fantastic. I really wish they'd ditch the darker oversprays so it didn't look like Mr. Miracle has been mud wrestling.
So that's about it. Once I actually have all of these in hand I'll probably shoot that pic one more time with all of the figures at once, and put it on here poster sized. And now to work on getting all of these made in 4" scale…

Jason, you said it all, man! We must be riding on the same wavelength. Only one figure left to go? I agree 100% on the superior colors that made the Super Powers figures so great. It's the only thing holding back DCUC from matching Kenner's coolness. And having 4" scale versions would be the proverbial icing on the cake! Wanting figures of Shockwave or Silicon might sound crazy to some collectors but I guess you gotta be a Super Powers fan to understand our eternal love of these guys. I will always be grateful to the 4H for making this happen! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Bronze Age Dick Grayson Robin to turn up along with Samurai in the near future.
Yes, a brighter colored Superman is high on my lists of wants. I'm so tired of the darker colored, constipated Superman look. *sigh* I'd also love a new Clark Kent that is more proportionate. Collect and Connect figure? 😉
I agree this is awesome. I'd like to see them take the line in the directions Super Powers ALMOST did.
1. Complete the cast of the Super Friends Super Powers Team:
– Black Vulcan
– Apache Chief
– El Dorado
– Rima the Jungle Girl
2. Complete the Satellite Era Justice League. There is a Super Powers poster with this team on it:
– Zatanna in her George Perez costume.
– Elongated Man
I know that Clark Kent was never pictured on the "33 back", but shouldn't he be included in that line up since he was actually made in both lines (SP as a mail in and DCUC when it was still DCSH)?
Otherwise, I'm kinda surprised you beat Chip to the punch on this one.
Otter! Hey, I hate to break it to you, but you're slightly off here. The Tyr in the photo is a custom by the amazing Airmax! So, combined with Samurai, we're still 2 figures away from a complete line-up (though I personally won't consider it complete until we get a classic Robin). Still, we're almost there!
Great article as always!
aka Iron-Cow
OOPS! My apologies… I had *no* idea an official Tyr was announced (and Obsidian, too!). I stand corrected!
Can't WAIT to get that set…
Great blog Jason. And wow – they're almost done that quickly? That's pretty impressive, and I can't imagine that Samurai is too far off. It'd be an absolute shame for them to not make him.
Although it does beg the question: Now that the Super Powers line is finished, where to they go from here? Finishing the sub-teams (Metal Men, Doom Patrol, Titans)?
Man, I'm with ya on the 4″ line idea. Unfortunately Mattel missed the boat on that when they made Infinite Heroes 3.75″. I'll say it again: I would have forgiven the lack of accessories, poor paint apps, and funky molds to just be able to display the modern figures with their classic SP counterparts. Oh well…
And yeah, that Mr Freeze is SWEEEEEET!
nice post for Hasbro dcu classics with the four horse mans talent has wound up doing what most dc fans never thought would ever happen again a dc line that could be considered a worthy sucessor to super powers. hard to believe only one more figure is left to make and hasbro will have done the original thirty three.even though it takes them a while to go throw all the clearance and red tape for the okay to make the characters. not to mention who would ever think of seeing the wonder twins in plastic.
What's next? They should finish off Total Justice/JLA with a Connor Green Arrow, Huntress, Impulse, Parallax, and Zauriel. (assuming that Kyle is indeed coming with GL Classics)
You also forgot Supergirl.
Thanks for updating the checklist! I now have a new background at work, haha.
Glad they're almost done, as Super Powers was the biggest draw to this line for me, as well as my introduction to DC comics as a kid.
Can't wait until there's a Grayson Robin to take the place of the Tim Drake one on the checklist, though!
Wildcard: Total Justice, hmmm?
Stay tuned…
On Total Justice/JLA
Well, they have done Black Lightning, Despero… they'd have a long way to go. Wally West, Hawkman of that era, Impulse, Zauriel, Huntress, Connor Hawke Green Arrow, MD Bright Designed Black Lightning, Hook Hand Aquaman, Parallax, Dr. Polaris and Zoom. Still a long way to go.
The pipe dream remains, the DCUC Super Powers team needs an IN-SCALE HALL OF JUSTICE PLAYSET. Never gonna happen though.
well, if Ron/AFP is right, then the recently revealed Validus CnC (16?) is leading to the rest of the 30th Century collection. Let's hope they manage to finish more than Imra for the Legion Ladies!
(I'm pretty sure I made the list here of Legionnaires *I'd* like to see, with LoSH variants = LoSV characters, but I'll take alt. costumes, too.)
and hoping the Thom variant = Payton!
Well, if they do get to the Legion I hope they stay true to the SP ethic going on and give us the overlooked Cockrum 70s/80s charters like Wildfire, Dawnstar, Timberwolf, etc. Personally I'm tired of getting the original 4 over and over.
Great post and picture!
I'm a huge Super Powers fan and I still need so much a Black Vulcan figure, Samurai and a collect and connect Apache Chief figure. They should release as well Toyman, Mister Mxyzptlk, Poison Ivy, Parasite and Eldorado.
I would love to see Mr. Freeze, Scarecrow, Bizarro, Clark Kent and Brainiac robot in DCUC packages. I'm tired of Superman and Batman variants…

So You Want More Tag Buttons for WordPressThursday, November 29th, 2007
If you are anything like me, you find using the Rich Text editor for Wordpress to be a bit daunting for any number of reason. For me, it is mainly when I go to add custom code and go back to the visual editor and it just disappears. Yes I know I can go in and hack the thing to get it to appreciate my code, but really, I find that to be to much work. Besides, I found a really nice alternative, Quicktags!

President Obama will host a virtual town hall meeting on April 20 from Facebook Inc. headquarters in Palo Alto, an event that will be broadcast on the social network's own channel, Facebook Live, the White House announced Tuesday.
According to the White House's Facebook page, the event will be streamed live starting at 1:45 p.m. Pacific time and include Facebook's top two executives, Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg and Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg.
Obama will be fielding questions from the public submitted through the town hall event's Facebook wall or through whitehouse.gov/facebooktownhall.
Obama's 2008 presidential campaign was helped by the use of social media and he used e-mail and a YouTube video posted on Monday to kick off his campaign for re-election in 2012.
Now he's again turning to the social network, which has an estimated 600 million members worldwide, for a 21st century version of a fireside chat.
"President Obama will connect with Americans across the country to discuss the tough choices we must all make in order to put our economy on a more responsible fiscal path, while still investing in areas like innovation that will help our economy grow and make America more competitive.
Judging from some of the comments already pouring in on the event's Facebook wall, the president will have a skeptical audience.
One Oregon man posted that he volunteered for the 2008 campaign as a 15 year old, but then said, "I need you to tell me why I should do that again. You vowed to run a more transparent White House. However, as Jon Stewart pointed out, you have run one of the most closed governments in American history to the point of accepting a transparency award at a closed meeting. What will you do to change this?"
This isn't the first time Facebook Live has hosted a big name politician. Zuckerberg chatted with former President George W. Bush when he visited Facebook headquarters in November, a month after New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg dropped by.
Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., former British Prime Minister Tony Blair and Rep. Justin Amash, R-Mich., have also appeared on Facebook Live.

Marvin Bernhardt
Marvin David "Shorty" Bernhardt was born Feb. 7, 1942, at Hillsboro. He was the oldest son of David and Lydia Bernhardt. The family lived on a farm west of Lincolnville and he started school there. His brother, Sam, was born in 1948. When Marvin was about 8 years old, they moved to Marion.
When Marvin was 11, his father died. In 1960, his mother married B.J. Cross, and Marvin gained a step-father.
He quit school after his sophomore year to go to work.
He was baptized in the Lutheran church at Lincolnville. He joined the Methodist church at Antelope, then transferred his membership to Valley United Methodist Church at Marion when the Antelope church closed.
On Oct. 18, 1959, he married Helen Louise Weathers at the Antelope Methodist Church. They lived in a trailer in Antelope and Marvin worked in the oilfields for Slusser Drilling Company.
The couple moved to Marion and lived in a little house on Roosevelt. When Helen was pregnant with their first child, they moved to a home east of Lincolnville. Dan was born in April 1961. They moved to Antelope, then back to a house on Santa Fe in Marion. Second son, Dennis, was born in December 1962. The family moved to the McHenry farm southwest of Marion and daughter, Diane, was born in 1968. They then moved back to Marion and lived in a home on Roosevelt St. In 1970, they moved to their current home in Canada.
Marvin began his career as a truck driver at the old alfalfa mill north of Marion.
He drove for various companies, including Tip Top Dairy, Turtle Top, Tollie Freightways, Reynolds Aluminum, B&N Trucking, Becker Trucking and J.L. Unruh Trucking LLC.
Throughout his career, the kids remember him hauling oil, jet fuel, rock, watermelons, onions, big round spools of aluminum, recyclable paper, liquid sugar, trailers, and grain. His favorite job was hauling oil.
In 2009, his health forced him to retire from J.L. Unruh Trucking after 27 years. They celebrated his retirement last year with a dinner and presented him with a copper wall-hanging of a semi.
After his retirement, he spent a lot of time sitting on his porch, watching the trucks go by on the highway or during harvest, watching the grain trucks go through town to the elevator.
Not content just watching the trucks go by, he went back to work briefly last summer, hauling grain again for J.L. Unruh. Grandson Colton Jeffrey rode with him, helping open traps and roll tarps on the trailer.
He enjoyed spending time with his family, and when the grandkids were involved in sports, he was an avid fan, attending as many basketball and baseball games as he could. Pop B, as the great-grandkids called him, liked watching them ride their bikes and play in the yard when they came out.
Marvin entered St. Luke Hospital the morning of Aug. 18 and was transported to Newton Medical Center that afternoon. He died there Aug. 19.
Survivors include his wife, Helen; son, Dan, and his wife, Sue, of Hillsboro; son, Dennis, and his wife, Donna, of Marion; and daughter, Diane, and her husband, Mike Jeffrey, of Marion; grandchildren, Chris and Mandi Bernhardt and Kevin Bernhardt of Hillsboro; Jamie and Mike Norris of Glen Allen, Va.; Jessica and Tyson Heidebrecht of Omaha, Neb.; Clinton and Tiffany Jeffrey of Marion; Calvin Jeffrey and Danielle White of Salina; and Colton Jeffrey and Cheyenne Jeffrey of Marion. Great-grandchildren include Blane and Bradi Bernhardt, Aiden Allen and Lanie Rogers, Mitchell, Addison, and Oliver Norris, Jaden Windholz, Breckyn Jeffrey, and week-old Liam David Jeffrey. He is also survived by his brother, Sam, and his wife, Kathy, of Marion, and several nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents, David and Lydia Bernhardt, and step-father, B.J. Cross.
Visitation was from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday at Zeiner Funeral Home, Marion.
Funeral services were at 10 a.m. Saturday at Hillsboro United Methodist Church, with Morita Truman and Suzie Talbot officiating. Music was provided by Rafael Noriega.
Casket bearers were the grandchildren, Chris and Kevin Bernhardt, Jamie Norris, Jessica Heidebrecht, and Clinton, Calvin, Colton, and Cheyenne Jeffrey.
Burial was in Lincolnville Cemetery.
Memorial funds have been established at St. Jude's Children's Hospital and Valley United Methodist Church of Marion.

Die Splitters for Press Dies
Safety for your Press Die Maintenance
For maintenance / service / checking / repair of press dies Seidel Handlingsysteme GmbH offers to their customers a complete program of press die splitters, at all sizes and specially designed to meet the individual requests of our customers.
Our Press Die Splitters are available in 1-column-design as well as in 2-columns-design.
They splitt the press die vertically, lift the upper die part hydraulically and turn it by up to 180° at the upper position. After that the upper press die part will be lowered again and will be placed directly at the side of the lower die part, which in the meantime had been moved sidewards (forward / backward or right / left, depending on the type of die splitter.
Now the upper and lower die part are lying side by side, their inner sides looking to the top, ready for execution of the maintenance work.
As standard versions the press die splitters are available
•as 1-column-version for press die weights up to max 5 tons
•als 2-columns-versions for total die weights of up to 60 tons,
whereby the total range of load capacity is divided into several series, up to 5 tons, up to 10 tons, up to 20 tons, up to 30 tons, up to 40 tons, up to 60 tons.
The 1-column-versions have a sidewise up to 180° turnable adaptor plate, to which the upper part of the press die will be clamped like at a press ram. The lower part of the press die is standing on a die table with a parking position at the side, to which the lower part of the press die can be moved. Before moving the lower press die part will be lifted by pneumatically operated die lifters with rolls and later at the parking position it will be lowered again and will stand there fix. Reassembling of the press die works reverse order.
Die splitters in 1-column-design for press dies upon customers request also can be done for bigger die weights.
The 2-columns-versions do have a connecting traverse between the two columns of the die splitter, at which the upper die part can be clamped like at a press ram.
Both columns do lift parallelly and do lift the traverse including the upper press die part up to the top position, then turn the traverse by 180°. After that the traverse will be lowered again and the upper part of the press die will be placed in front of or behind of the lower part of the press die, which in the meantime had been moved forward or backward.
Inside of each of the two columns of the press die splitter there is a lifting unit and a turning unit, which alone can carry the full load of the upper press die part. Thereby the press die splitter is working with double safety.
At the bottom area of the die splitter, between the two columns, usually exists a construction of beams for carrying the press die, onto which the press die is placed either by die change cart, forklift truck or overhead crane.
This construction of beams can be different from die splitter to die splitter. Depending on available space and / or preferences of the customer, this construction can be existing only in front of the die splitter, or in front of and behind the die splitter. These are the areas, into which also the lower part of the press die will be moved, before the turned upper part of the press die will be placed by the die splitter centrally onto the die carrying beams construction.
The beams of this die carrying construction can be positioned fix, without any possibility of sidewise movement. It also can have carrying beams which can be moved sidewise. The die carrying beams usually are equipped with pneumatically operated die lifters with rolls. In special cases these die lifters with rolls may be operated hydraulically.
Press dies up to 5 tons usually still can be moved manually. For press dies bigger than 5 tons we recommend to use our Mark II - Die Drive System, which moves the press dies forward / backward upon pushing a button. This is done by toothed rack and pinion, which are pressed against the bottom of the press die and which carry the press die when they are moved forward or backward. This system does not need any die hooks at the dies.
The die splitters for press dies, after having splitted the die, also can turn the upper die parts by less than 180°. They can, for example, turn the upper die part by 90° and lock the upper die part at this position. By this way it also is possible to do maintenance at the upper die part hanging in the press die splitter.
The photos on this page can give to you an impression about the big number of different versions of press die splitters already built.
Die splitters always are made customer-specific, as nearly every single company and nearly every single press die do have deviating requests to a press die splitter.
You are looking for a solution for turning / splitting / maintaining of your press dies? Please contact us. We will be happy to elaborate a suitable solution for you.
Please contact us by phone or email.

I really liked this book because the setting was in Florida. This reminded me of the time my family went to Florida for vacation, but I didn't see any UFO's while I was there. The book was also interesting because it had drawings of what different people during different times thought that space aliens looked like.
If you like scary flying saucer stories, be sure to read this book. This is an interesting science fiction book that you would probably like to read if you like UFO's and space aliens. Second and third graders could probably read this book by themselves.

You're thinking of that 2003 Sheed. The current one is a jump shooter only. He scores less inside than Al and neither dude is an inside threat.

Don't look now, but the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index is starting to show signs of life. It's up 6.5 percent since November 16, after a 15 percent pullback between September and October. The SOX outperformed Thursday, rising 1.1 percent to 378.63. It's back above its 200-day simple moving average (SMA) which brings a trip to its 50-day SMA around 390 into play.
Chip stocks got a lift Thursday after Broadcom (NYSE: BRCM) raised its fourth quarter earnings guidance, citing upside in mobile and wireless. It also lowered its outlook for operating expenses. Investors also like news it would supply sample chips supporting Long Term Evolution (LTE), a wireless technology being adopted by wireless providers around the world. Shares popped 3.2 percent to $33.36 in heavy volume, a solid day of accumulation for the chip designer.
(Is market resilience a good sign for the bulls?)
Broadcom is a bellwether in the industry, but the stock is still 16 percent from its 52-week high. Other names in the space are still in the early stages of growth and closer to highs which means there's better potential for outperformance in 2013.
Even though it's extended in price currently, ARM Holdings (Nasdaq: ARMH) is one of the better-looking names in the chip space. It's a U.K.-based chip designer with a strong presence in the smartphone and tablet market. It licenses its technology to scads of large-cap tech names, including Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL). It has a market capitalization of $16.7 billion and it's liquid with an average daily volume of 2.1 million shares.
Investors cheered its latest earnings report after the company said earnings rose 29 percent from a year ago to $0.18 a share. Sales growth accelerated sequentially, rising 24 percent to $233.5 million. Full-year profit is seen rising 21 percent this year (compared to 2011) and 23 percent in 2013.
For investors who missed the breakout over $29 when ARMH gapped up on October 23, there will be another chance to buy it -- patience for now because the stock needs to consolidate gains for a bit before a new buy point emerges. A logical support area for ARMH would be its 10-week moving average, currently around $32.75. It may not get down that far, but watch for tight weekly closes from here where the stock stays underneath its recent high of $37.41. If this happens, a new upside breakout could take shape.
Meanwhile, shares of chipmaker Cree (Nasdaq: CREE) remain under accumulation -- something that not too many chipmakers can say at the moment. It's also impressive because Deutsche Bank recently downgraded the stock to hold from buy. The stock fell six percent on the news but found initial support at its 20-day SMA. Shares rallies smartly on Thursday, up 3.1 percent to $32.70.
The company makes light emitting diode products, lighting products and semiconductor products. After a period of sluggish growth between fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2012, annual earnings growth is expected to ramp up nicely over the next two years. Fiscal 2013 earnings are seeing rising 26 percent (compared to 2012) with fiscal 2014 earnings up 39 percent.
Finally, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing's (NYSE: TSM) relative price strength is tough to ignore as the calendar gets ready to turn to 2013. It's another chip name under accumulation, but after a recent technical breakout over $15.64, it's also extended in price. Its 10-week moving average around $16 looks like a solid support level.
Demand for the company's mobile integrated circuits remains strong. In its latest reported quarter, earnings jumped 68 percent from a year ago to $0.32. Sales rose 38 percent to $4.8 billion
For the fourth quarter, the consensus estimate calls for earning of $0.27 a share, up 35 percent from a year ago with sales up 28 percent to $4.4 billion.

Seemingly, the Dead Presidents in the billfold (especially George Washington) sense when it's time to make their traditional appearance at Pomona. In past years, they really enjoyed the outing and, on most days, never made it back to the wallet.
The Los Angeles County Fair horse meet was always an exciting time, resembling a yearly family reunion that would last for days as we watched thoroughbreds, quarter horses and appaloosas compete at the 5/8-mile track. It was a time to dance to a pay window; or grumble, tear up the ticket and start studying the next race.
This year, it's time to just grumble. For the first time since 1933, there will be no horse racing at the L.A. County Fair. Tradition and history have been taken away by the fair board, which gave away its racing dates to Los Alamitos, which opens today.
Imagine that: having to travel to Orange County for the L.A. County Fair meet.
It was always a treat to go to Pomona, sit in the grandstands and talk with others who have a similar interest, however slight. It was an escape from the reality of everyday living, like stepping back in time, having to walk down to the pari-mutuel windows for a $2 bet (or bigger if you were adventurous or knew the field).
In fact, the first pari-mutuel bet in the state was made in 1933 and it triggered attendance at the fair. On the flip side, it was the start of off-track betting that signaled the start of a trend that has killed not only horse racing attendance all over the country, but fair turnout as well.
We will miss those features that were unique to Fairplex, small things absent from larger tracks such as Santa Anita, Del Mar, and before it also shut down, Hollywood Park. At Fairplex, jockeys had to walk back to their quarters in front of the fans, who weren't shy about voicing opinions on their performance.
The track was small enough to get a close view of the action down the backstretch, or see the rise of intensity on the last turn and the quick sprint to the finish. The opening of the gates was audible to all, shortly before announcer Trevor Denman would start his call with "They're off." And for those on the 'carpet,' what horse players call the area between the grandstands and track, one could feel the pounding of the hooves as they ran past.
In the days before the track was lengthened to its present status, it was called the "Bullring" for its tight corners on the half-mile. It was at that point jockeys would start with a mouthful of beans, one for each lap. Every once in a while, a jock would spit out more than one bean and start to slow down a lap from the finish. It was then the players would really comment on the jockey's ride on his walk back.
Oh, there were great jockeys. David Flores, "The King of Pomona," was always a good bet as he was the all-time win leader at Pomona, a title he took from Francisco Mena and challenged by Martin Pedroza. Other jockeys with big-time names and reputations who raced there included Laffit Pincay, Alex Solis, Donald Pierce, Ron Hanson, Ray York and Roby Kilgore.
And don't forget the trainers. For many fans, if they didn't bet on the jockey, it was the trainer. Betting on the likes of Jerry Fanning, Ted West, Mel Stute, Craig Lewis and Doug O'Neil usually meant a trip back to the pay window. Of course, there are those old enough to remember D. Wayne Lukas and Chino's very own Rex Ellsworth at the Fair.
The horses weren't just headed for the glue factory if they didn't win. Codex, the 1980 Preakness Stakes winner, broke his maiden at Pomona. Physican ran at the Fair before his 1962 Santa Anita Handicap win under Pierce while Squirtle Squirt won the 2001 Breeders Cup Sprint, at 25-1, a year after going around Pomona.
Los Al will keep one tradition, the $75,000 E.B. Johnston Stakes for 3-year-olds at 6 furlongs. Johnston, dubbed the 'Pie Man' while at Fairplex, also owned Old English Rancho in Ontario.
But while Los Al keeps one race, there are other familiar races that will disappear: Derby Trial Stakes, Beau Brummel Stakes, Governor's Cup, Pio Pico Stakes, Las Madrinas Handicap and the Pomona Derby.
It may all be in the name of progress, but it just isn't the same going to the fair these days.

Organisations are increasingly relying on digital agencies like SapientNitro and AKQA to lead their mobile strategies, rather than their in-house IT departments.
According to a recent report by Forrester, these digital agencies now constitute 40-50 percent of the design team on mobile projects. Meanwhile, 57 percent of IT decision makers claim that building a comprehensive mobile strategy is either a low priority or not on their agenda for 2013 at all.
This is concerning, given that new app design budgets at large companies range from $217,000 (£135,000) for each mobile app to $358,000 (£223,000) for a tablet app. The suggestion is that companies are spending large amounts of their IT budgets on external agencies, rather than within their own IT departments.
One of the main reasons for this is that most in-house IT teams lack the skills and expertise that digital agencies and mobile development specialists can offer in the areas of user experience (UX) design, mobile middleware and application delivery.
This is unlikely to change any time soon, as Forrester's research reveals that only 17 percent of IT decision makers consider hiring IT staff with mobile development skills to be one of their top mobile priorities for this year.
Many IT departments also lack the back-end infrastructure needed to meet the high transactional demands of mobile apps, according to Forrester.
However, continuing to rely on external bodies to lead mobile strategies will ultimately result in conflicting technology approaches, a multitude of suppliers and no coordinating body.
"As technology leaders of the organisation, it's time for CIOs to step up and lead a mobile engagement strategy to help their business and IT leaders execute efficiently," said Forrester analyst and author of the report Nigel Fenwick.
He puts forward eight best practices that CIOs can follow to implement a mobile engagement strategy. These include creating a mobile centre of excellence, aggregating project budgets to fun infrastructure, and managing projects internally as much as possible.
However, this does not mean that CIOs have to go it alone. The report states that, by selecting the right partners, organisations can use them to fill the gaps that cannot be filled internally, and also transfer skills and expertise to their own teams over time.
"CIOs must position IT to collaborate with product developers and marketing professionals to identify opportunities that arise as part of the company's digital business strategy," said Fenwick.
"By understanding how existing capabilities are transformed by new digital and mobile technologies, we can connect the present to the vision of the future."

Thanksgiving Leftovers Salad with Sweet Potatoes and Brussels Sprouts Recipe
Your source for quick recipe every single week day.
- Yield:serves 4 to 6
- Active time: 30 minutes
- Total time:1 hour
- 1 pound of leftover turkey meat or 1 1/2 pounds turkey thighs
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts (or leftover roasted brussels sprouts), ends trimmed, halved
- 1 pound sweet potatoes (or leftover roasted sweet potatoes), cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1 1/2 cups Israeli couscous
- 3 to 4 tablespoons softened butter, divided
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries, chopped
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds
- 2 to 3 tablespoons fresh juice from about 2 lemons
Adjust the oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 450°F. If using leftover turkey, move on to the next step. To cook the turkey thighs, sprinkle each with a generous amount of salt and pepper. Place thighs in a baking dish and transfer to the oven. Cook until the internal temperature of the turkey is 170°F, about 45 minutes. Remove the thighs from the oven and let cool. Remove the skin and pull the meat off the bone.
If using pre-cooked leftover brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes, skip to the next step. Place the Brussels sprouts and sweet potato pieces in a large baking pan. Pour the canola oil on top and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss the pieces until well coated. Transfer to the oven and cook until both vegetables are tender and lightly browned, about 25 minutes. Remove the pan when done. Turn off the heat.
Pour 3 1/3 cups of water into a medium-sized saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the couscous and a pinch of salt. Cook, adjusting the heat if water thinks about boiling over, until tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Drain in a colander when done.
Add two tablespoons of the butter to a skillet set over medium-high heat. Add the dried cranberries, almonds, and a pinch of salt, and stir well. Cook until almonds are lightly toasted. Add the drained couscous and stir well. Turn off the heat and add 2 tablespoons of the lemon juice as well as brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes. Stir to combine. Taste, and add more butter or lemon juice if needed. Season with more salt and pepper.
Divide the couscous mixture between three large bowls, and top with some pulled turkey. Serve immediately.

Domino Resource Issues under XPages
6 comments:
- Tim Tripcony said...
You mention taking advantage of the recycler... I assume you're referring to calling the recycle() method on variables pointing to Domino objects (database, view, document, etc.) before assigning them to something else (such as when iterating through documents in a view). You should always, always do this. Forgetting to do this causes memory leaks, and is a Very Bad Thing.
If the JVM is running out of memory, a failure to do the above is the most likely culprit. You can delay this occurrence by increasing the amount of memory allotted to the JVM, or by (as you suggest) periodically restarting the HTTP task. But neither option cures the disease, it just treats the symptoms, so to speak. Unless you fix the memory leak to begin with, your users are likely to experience gradually increasing performance degradation as the server approaches the point at which it would run out of memory entirely.
Assuming you're running 8.5.2 (if not, upgrade), one additional option available to you that certainly is best practice is to update the application properties to tell the application to serialize all XPages to disk. This setting was specifically added by IBM to allow XPage applications to scale to more users; it causes all operations to consume the bare minimum of memory by saving all information about the page structure to the hard drive as soon as each request has returned a response to the browser, instead of storing that structure in memory. If the user triggers any events against the page, the page structure is then loaded back into memory before the event is handled. The tradeoff is that, by not holding all of this information in memory for the duration of the user session, there is a slight performance hit for events... but the response delta is typically in the sub-second range, so this is generally acceptable when scaling to thousands of concurrent users.

P.S. Instead of issuing separate "TELL HTTP QUIT" and "LOAD HTTP" commands, the single "RESTART TASK HTTP" command does both. This is not the same as "TELL HTTP RESTART", which, as you mentioned, flushes some memory (and reloads some configuration settings) but does not actually restart the JVM. "RESTART TASK HTTP" actually shuts down the entire HTTP task, then loads it again. The only time I've seen this command fail to do that is when there are hung threads (like web agents that did not complete successfully).

Try doing.
tell http xsp heapdump
tell http xsp javadump
Then have a look at the output. May give some hints.
- 8:14 pm
Do you also have the 852 FixPacks installed upon the servers?
- 5:58 am
- Graham Dodge said...
Is the app an upgraded R7.x app with extensive Lotusscript code possibly calling new Java agents? It may pay to revise old code and make sure that all agents are properly disposing of their artifacts when they end.
- 8:25 am
- Chris Whisonant said...
Out of curiousity, what is the value that you have if you do a SHOW CONFIG HTTPJVMMaxHeapSize ? It could be that you need to increase this value. IBM has tinkered with what they think the default settings should be. See, for instance, my blog post here. I would recommend that you increase this value to 128M if it's not already. And if it is, then add another 128M to it.

Language Examination: No language examination is required.
Culminating Events:
Fieldwork Practicum:
M.P.H. fieldwork requires a student to synthesize and integrate the knowledge acquired in coursework and other learning experiences and to apply theory and principles in a situation that approximates some aspect of professional practice through an internship (practicum) experience with a public health agency or under the supervision of a faculty preceptor. The M.P.H. fieldwork practice experience serves as the culminating experience that is a requirement of the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH), the accrediting body of all U.S. schools of public health, for completion of the Master of Public Health degree. In addition, this culminating experience provides the student with the opportunity to develop expertise in a topic area and to contribute original and independent observations to a body of knowledge.
A final paper is the required deliverable for the M.P.H. fieldwork requirement. Students must also demonstrate their proficiency (and the application of theory and principles) for the paper and demonstrate mastery of the required competencies during the oral defense. The evaluation of the M.P.H. fieldwork practicum experience, therefore, is integrated into the culminating experience requirement.
There are four options for M.P.H. fieldwork:
For the culminating experience, to fulfill the requirements of PH 9289 and PH 9389, M.P.H. students concentrating in Social and Behavioral Science are expected to complete a fieldwork experience, which enables them to:

The vision of the Department of Public Health is to excel as a regional and national leader by fostering interdisciplinary collaboration among researchers, educators, community practitioners, and private sector leaders. We strive to address community health needs in a global community to eliminate health disparities, and to increase the quality and years of healthy life.
The mission of the Department of Public Health is to promote and protect public health through quality education, research, and service. We emphasize disease prevention and treatment, empowerment, and collective as well as individual responsibility for health and health care. Collaborative partnerships contribute to meeting local, state, national, and global public health needs through conducting research, training a diverse workforce, and promoting excellence in practice.
Behavioral and social sciences in public health address the behavioral, social, and cultural factors related to individual and population health and health disparities over the life course. Research and practice in this area contribute to the development, administration, and evaluation of programs in public health, which promote and sustain healthy lives for individuals and communities. This cognate area has a strong focus on addressing the behavioral, social, and cultural factors related to individual and population health and the social and behavioral aspects of community health, health communication, program implementation and evaluation, and health education. The concentration in Social and Behavioral Science prepares students to design, implement, and evaluate interventions that are directed toward identified public health problems in communities. This cognate specialization will continue to aim to prepare public health practitioners to identify and assess the needs of populations; plan, implement, and evaluate programs to address those needs; and otherwise ensure that the needs of diverse populations are met to improve their overall health status.
Time Limit for Degree Completion: 4 years
Campus Location:
Required and elective courses in the M.P.H. program are offered on satellite campuses and through online courses. The full M.P.H. program currently is available only at Main Campus.
Full-Time/Part-Time Status:
Students are able to complete the degree program through classes offered after 4:30 p.m. and online courses. Full-time students usually complete the program within two academic years. Part-time students usually take three to four years to complete their degree.
Department Information:
Interdisciplinary coursework, research, and interactions are encouraged to give students as broad a perspective as possible to excel in the complex, diverse, and dynamic state of public health.

PhRMA report lists 271 vaccines in development
WASHINGTON — A vaccine to slow the progression of HIV and a monoclonal antibody that protects against influenza are among the nearly 300 vaccines under development by drug makers in the United States, according to a new report by a drug industry trade group.
The Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America released a report Wednesday showing 271 vaccines under development, all in clinical trials or under Food and Drug Administration review. They include 137 for infectious diseases, 99 for cancers, 15 for allergies and 10 for neurological disorders.
"Biopharmaceutical research companies are working with partners across the ecosystem to apply new scientific approaches to the development of both preventative and therapeutic vaccines," PhRMA president John Castellani said. "The nearly 300 vaccines in the pipeline provide great hope for protecting and improving public health in the United States and across the globe."
In other news, PhRMA announced the recipients of the 2013 Research & Hope Awards, which honors achievements in vaccines research and immunizations by individuals and research teams.
The GlaxoSmithKline Malaria Vaccine Team won the award for biopharmaceutical industry research in vaccine development, for the development of a vaccine against malaria targeted to children in sub-Saharan Africa. The academic and public research award went to National Cancer Institute researchers Douglas Lowy and John Schiller for the discovery of the human papillomavirus vaccine. Linda Yu-Sing Fu and her team, at the Children's National Medical Center, won the patient and community health award for efforts to increase awareness of the importance of childhood immunizations and deliver them to an at-risk population in the District of Columbia.

• Teach writing losing a brother quote.
• Show that losing a brother quote have four components: appeal, congratulations, wishes and signatures.
• Convince that the losing a brother quote remains in memory, so it is especially important to sign it beautifully.
• Develop the ability to compose text for a specific recipient.
• Foster a culture of speech, the ability and desire to communicate, a friendly attitude towards each other, the ability to listen.
Let s start with the proverb – "A good word is half of happiness"
Most often, we write and losing a brother quote on holidays. These days we congratulate each other and say kind words. However, we know that our speech can be both oral and written.
A written congratulatory speech is used in the congratulatory letter. In a greeting card or losing a brother quote, a telegram of congratulations, a virtual card or a meme.
How to make losing a brother quote?
– This part of the postcard has its own name – appeal.
– The next part of losing a brother quote is information about what is congratulated.
– The third part – the wish itself – causes great difficulty.
– And ends with the fourth part – the signature and date.
How do we want? What do we want?
As a result, the reasoning is approximately the following table.
How do we want? Wishing you (you) …
I sincerely wish …
With all my heart, I wish …
I sincerely wish …
I want to wish…
I want to…
Let be…
What do we want?
1. Happiness 2. Health 3. Success
1. Good, light, faithful, reliable friends, good students.
2. Fun, joy, pep, longevity, smiles, well-being, stay the same kind, beautiful.
3. Successes in hard, but noble work, success in studies, music, sports, new interesting travels, etc.

Winnebago County Sheriff's Police
News Media Release
News Release Number
Information: Arrest of Anthony Frederick Jefferson(Murder Warrant)
Date: 10-4-13
Time: 10:00a.m.
Page of 1
On Thursday evening October 3, 2013 the Winnebago County Sheriff's Department received a request for assistance from the United States Marshal's Service.
U.S. Marshal's developed information that Anthony Frederick Jefferson (DOB 6-12-70/43yrs) was inside a residence at 526 N. Court St. Apt #1, Rockford, Illinois.
Jefferson was wanted for Murder and Armed Robbery out of South Bend, Indiana.
The Sheriff's Department deployed a SWAT TEAM and HOSTAGE NEGOTIATORS to N. Court St. to assist the Marshal's and Rockford P.D. patrol officers.
The area was sealed off and neighbors evacuated.
It was determined that Jefferson was in fact in the basement of the apartment and communications was initiated with Jefferson.
Jefferson refused to come out and a forcible entry was made into the basement. Flash bangs were deployed and the SWAT team took Jefferson into custody without incident.
Jefferson was transported to the Winnebago County Jail and lodged on the Indiana warrants pending extradition.
The charges against Jefferson are merely accusations. He is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.

ADDISON — Transportation officials from Vermont and New York on Monday announced that the Champlain Bridge that spans Lake Champlain between Addison, Vt., and Crown Point, N.Y., will be demolished.
The bridge was closed abruptly on Oct. 16 after an inspection of the 80-year-old bridge revealed structural deficiencies in two of its 11 concrete piers.
COLCHESTER — The top-seeded, undefeated Colchester High School football team scored on two of its first three possessions Friday and held on for a 12-7 victory over visiting No. 4 Middlebury in a Division II semifinal marked by tough defense.
The 10-0 Lakers moved on to this weekend's D-II final vs. No. 3 Champlain Valley, which defeated No. 2 Mount Mansfield, 21-14, also on Friday.
The Tigers, a team with just nine seniors and featuring many sophomores in key roles, finished the season at 7-3. They lost twice to the Lakers, and once to CVU.
Senate President Pro Temp Peter Shumlin and House Speaker Shap Smith are right to question the alleged benefits of allowing Entergy to spin off its Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant (and five others) into a separate holding company called Enexus. On the face of it, the spin-off does little more than free Entergy, a debt-free and profitable company, of future expense while creating a new company — loaded with debt — to shoulder the burden of decommissioning five aging nuclear plants in the not-so-distant future.
Finding the benefit to Vermont in such a deal is perplexing.

MIDDLEBURY — Addison County Deputy State's Attorney Christopher Perkett confirmed on Thursday that he will not challenge incoming prosecutor David Fenster in the November 2010 election.
ADDISON — Earl Bessett watched the one-seater bomber plane approach from the gunner stack of the USS Hunt. As it skimmed overhead, its wingtip just feet from where he stood, Bessett saw the man inside of the open cockpit: a Japanese kamikaze fighter with a red scarf flowing out behind him. In the year and a half he had served on the ship, Hunt had never been so close to being killed.
BRISTOL — "Fire at will!" shouted Mount Abraham Union High School physics teacher Tom Tailer, raising his air horn high above his head and sounding the start of the war games with a loud blast.
Decked out in a cap and vest, the cuffs of his pants tucked into his boots, Tailer looked the part of the army commander he played last Thursday. At his signal, the battlefield outside of the Bristol high school erupted into a melee.
Seniors at Middlebury College are studying the harvesting standards for biomass at the college's new biomass plant, which the college fired up last winter.
VERGENNES — After more than a year of research and cooperation with the Vermont Department of Health, the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Vergennes is ramping up a major community-wide effort to address alcohol abuse among teens and young adults.
That effort began in January 2008, when the Department of Health gave the club a three-year, $360,000 Strategic Prevention Framework grant from a pot of federal funds.

Dan Rather and Mary Mapes are apparently out to rehabilitate themselves through the assertion of several themes related to Rathergate. In his interview with Marvin Kalb, Rather reiterates several of the themes: the Bush National Guard story was accurate, there is something sinister about the exposure of the documents as fradulent, and the documents were not proved to be fraudulent in the Thornburgh-Boccardi report or elsewhere. In Mapes's telling, "meshing" is the term of art that covers these themes.
Former New York Times general counsel James Goodale worked a subset of these themes using the Mapes "meshing" analysis in his New York Review of Books essay "The flawed report on Dan Rather." Tigerhawk commented in "Rathergate: The liberal establishment strikes back." As John has written here, the fraudulent documents were wrong not just in typography and format, but, most important, in content:
Rather, Mapes and Goodale simply ignore the large body evidence that demonstrates that this is so. Goodale's discussion of the Thornburgh Report's "meshing" analysis, the heart of his article, is deeply dishonest. In fact, that analysis, which goes on for some pages, is one of the most persuasive sections of the report. The Thornburgh report's argument that, contrary to her claims, Mapes' documents are not consistent with the otherwise known facts, is devastating. But Goodale never even mentions, let alone tries to refute, the evidence advanced by the Thornburgh group in support of that conclusion.
The ability of Rather and Mapes to work these themes depends on the ignorance of their interlocutors and their intended audience. Richard Nixon seems to me to have acquitted himself far more honorably in writing and speaking about Watergate following his resignation. Dan Rather is bound and determined to illustrate Marx's dictum that history repeats itself as farce.
Marvin Kalb is the former CBS reporter who now hangs his shingle at Harvard's Kennedy School as Senior Fellow at the school's Shorenstein Center. As a general rule, he should know what he's talking about, but Kalb demonstrated his complete ignorance of the fundamental facts related to Rathergate in his interview of Rather for The Kalb Report at the Washington Press Club on Monday night. Reader Charles Thomas wrote to Kalb to take issue with Kalb's observation/complaint that he (Dan Rather) became the story; Thomas wrote Kalb that Rather became the story because the documents were fraudulent. Kalb responded:
Dear Mr. Thomas: I know you believe that the documents were forged. I have yet to see the evidence, which I presume you have and are willing to share. Not charges, please,…but evidence. Also, the point of Dan Rather's story was that the President received favorable treatment and thus avoided serving in Vietnam. Have you evidence to the contrary? If not, there is no need to respond.
Best of luck,
Marvin Kalb
Yesterday John responded to Kalb:
Mr. Kalb: I was stunned to receive a copy of your email response to Mr. Charles Thomas…With all due respect, your answer betrays an astonishing lack of awareness of many facts that have been publicly available for a long time.
How do we know the documents are fakes? Here are a few of the most basic reasons:
1) Read the summary of the report of Mr. Peter Tytell, document expert, which is Appendix 4 to the Thornburgh Report. You can find it here. Mr. Tytell "concluded that the Killian documents were generated on a computer. He does not believe that any manual or electric typewriter of the early 1970s could have produced the typeface used in the Killian documents."
2) Read the analysis of Dr. Joseph Newcomer, one of the founders of modern electric typesetting, which you can find here. Dr. Newcomer's conclusion: "These documents are modern forgeries."
3) The "Killian documents" are in Times New Roman font. Times New Roman is common on modern word processors, but was never licensed for use on any typewriter.
4) The Thornburgh Report found that whoever forged the documents got no fewer than six military acronyms wrong.
5) One of the fake documents says that General "Buck" Staudt was pressuring Lt. Col. Bobby Hodges to sugarcoat Lt. Bush's evaluation. The document is dated August 1973. General Staudt retired in April 1972.
6) The source of the documents was Bill Burkett, a notorious Bush-hating crank with a personal vendetta against the National Guard. He lied about where he got the documents. First he said they were given to him by someone named "Conn" who promptly left for Europe. (CBS never made any attempt to locate Mr. Conn, who turned out to be fictitious, to verify Burkett's story or, more important, find out where Conn got them.) After the 60 Minutes story blew up, Burkett admitted that Conn didn't exist. His revised story was that he got a call from someone named "Lucy Ramirez" who told him to go to the Texas Livestock Show. He went to the Texas Livestock Show. A man he'd never seen before walked up to him and handed him an envelope, which contained the documents. He took them home, photocopied them, and burned the originals. Do you find that story credible? Would it be credible even if it were the first story he told?
7) Jerry Killian's widow and sons say that he did not write the memos, and that he did not agree with the sentiments they express.
8) President Bush's evaluations from that time period are glowing. His superiors, including Jerry Killian, described him as a first-rate officer and pilot. You can access the evaluations on my web site,Power Line.
There is a great deal more, but that should be sufficient. I would add that the burden of proof is not on those who have pointed out multitudes of reasons why the documents are fakes. Anyone can type up "documents" and claim that they were mysteriously given to him by an anonymous stranger.The burden of proof is on those who claim that the documents are genuine.
As to the broader issue, there is no support for the claim that Bush received some kind of "special treatment." General Staudt, who approved Bush's application, has said repeatedly that he received no communications of any kind from anyone in connection with that application, and accepted it because he thought Bush would be a good pilot. There was no waiting list for pilots in the Texas Air National Guard at that time, so there is no reason to think that some kind of "special treatment" was necessary. Nor did Bush volunteer for the National Guard to escape service on Vietnam; on the contrary, he volunteered to go to Vietnam while in the Guard, but was turned down because he did not have the required number of pilot hours. Col. Ed Morrisey, who served in the TANG with Bush, says: "The Air Force, in their ultimate wisdom, assembled a group of 102's and took them to Southeast Asia. Bush volunteered to go. But he needed to have 500 [flight] hours, but he only had just over 300 hours so he wasn't eligible to go." You can read about it here.
Interestingly, the Thornburgh Report says that Mary Mapes' file on her investigation that led up to the 60 Minutes story shows that she learned, in the course of the investigation, that Bush had not in fact received any kind of preferential treatment, but went ahead with the story anyway.
With all due respect, Mr. Kalb, it is unfortunate that you have enabled Mr. Rather's ongoing perpetration of a notorious fraud without taking the time to apprise yourself of the facts.
John Hinderaker
We'll let you know if Kalb responds, but we're not holding our breath.

Only Israel's first Prime Minister, David Ben-Gurion crafted more Government Coalitions than Binyamin Netanyahu, but take into account that the country was young and terribly unstable at that time. I checked the complete list of Israeli PM's in Wikipedia. Besides Ben-Gurion, nobody comes close to Netanyahu, who is about to enter his fourth term as Prime Minister of Israel, or am I missing one. You'd think he'd be better at it with so much experience, but he isn't. This incoming government has brought him to an all time low.

Comic 454: Raises more questions than it answers
On presentation, you get a 0. The walls make it look like you have divided this into three panels, which it clearly is not. I would have gone for no walls and a sort of zig-zag cutting thing in the middle to show that there is space you are cutting out.
Alas, the forums were no help in understanding if I was missing something. As usual. There were only 45 comments on this comic - compare that to 153 for the hurricane comic on Wednesday and 87 for mission. Obviously those have been around a few days longer but still, not up to speed, comments on comic 454! It's just an uninspiring visual gag that I think makes most people go "eh."
In the future, I will comment on the new shirt that Mr. Munroe is selling. Spoiler alert: I don't like it! End of spoiler alert.

I think you are missing the fact that he is sending an ethernet cable through a phone line. The idea is that, if this were possible, the two parties would enjoy an ethernet connection without having a broadband internet connection.ReplyDelete
I'm not commenting on the humor of the comic or anything, it just seemed that you were confused on that point.
Get cracking on the insipid hats (455)! I want to see just how much commentary can be squeezed out of a truly half-assed strip.ReplyDelete
Or if you ARE already cracking, then pace yourself, any reasonable person would have a heart attack trying to express the uselessness of that strip.
LZ- It still doesn't seem like its accomplishing anything unless he could multiply how many ethernet plugs he had. In other words, is he doing anything he couldn't do with a very long extension cord? That seems like what he is using the fax machines for. Which isn't such a bad joke, but by talking about "upgrading" he clearly has something else in mind.ReplyDelete
Thomas- I am way ahead of you.
- Locutus ZeroJuly 29, 2008 at 9:49 AM
He is UPGRADING the phone line to send information at the speed of ethernet cable.ReplyDelete
This could be done with a long ethernet cable, but the idea is that one could "thread" the phone line with another, higher capacity, protocol (an absurd proposition).
In the alt text he talks about threading the mail system to do the same thing. If you could mail one end of an ethernet cable to someone across the country, you could have a fast connection with that person, bypassing any networks. I imagine an envelope with a cable coming out of it, plugged into someone's computer.
Not that this joke is worth more than one sentence, but I like explaining things.
ok, now I think I get it. Comic still sucks though.ReplyDelete

Actor Matt Damon has revealed he was forced to scrap his plans to wed Luciana Barroso in Florida in 2005 after learning the paparazzi had been tipped off about the nuptials.
The "Talented Mr. Ripley" star tied the knot with the mother of his three children at City Hall in New York City on December 9, 2005, and earlier this month they renewed their wedding vows on the island of St. Lucia.
And Damon explains it was important for the couple to cement its relationship in front of family and friends in a big way – because his wife was robbed of her special day over seven years ago.
He tells People.com, "It's nice to say your vows in front of family. That's the point of taking the vows. These are people who will hold you to them. One of my vows was I gave her the side of the bed closer to the bathroom. And if I don't stick to that, I'm gonna hear about that from my mom, brother and father.
"We were gonna get married over Christmas (in 2005), and then somebody got wind of it, and my publicist told me these people are are all going to go down to Miami, where we lived at the time. We thought our whole holiday break was going to get ruined with people hanging around, with helicopters and all that stuff.
"We literally ran to the city and just tied the knot really quickly, just to kind of nip that whole thing in the bud."
