Student Profile: Danielle Dockery
Published: Thursday, March 27, 2014 at 9:28 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, March 27, 2014 at 9:28 a.m.
Danielle Dockery is a student at Davidson Early College.
What are your plans for the future?
"I hope to transfer to (the University of North Carolina at Wilmington) after high school. I will more than likely major in law or accounting and minor in business."
How do you feel like the Early College has helped you in the long run?
"The Early College has helped me in the long run by giving me determination to finish school and continue on to a larger degree. The school has also taught me how to have a strong work ethic and finish items in a timely manner."
What are some of your hobbies and qualities that make you the exemplary student?
"Hobbies? Hah, that's funny. I don't have time for much anymore because I am constantly doing schoolwork and studying. As far as qualities go, I value my time and know when I need to get things done. I am also not much of a procrastinator and want other students to do the same as me."
What would be your advice to other students who are underclassmen?
"My advance for others coming into this program is that you have to want it. You have to want your education to be of high quality in order to succeed. You also must know that several accomplishments do not make you successful, but failures. One must learn from these failures in order to make progress and grow as a person."
If you could change one thing in the world what would it be and why?
"If I could change one thing in the world, it would be the penalty for pedophiles. I feel as though they should be put through everything that their victim was. I don't think that a couple of years in jail teaches them anything. Children are innocent and the world's future; there is no reason for any adult to hurt a child in any way, no matter what. It's absolutely inexcusable."

I hate the time limit on the mirage master and the turn limit is also awkward.
I also hate to see a minigame that is supposed to be there for relaxation be on a difficulty that asks for a script to play the game for you.
Also why add a minigame that not even the game admins can play at highest difficulty for fun? :/
It's for most people a false promise of giving more gran to those that put effort ... It's achievable but it's horrid and way too frustrating! In fact it's so fustrating it shouldn't even be in the game. There should be other things that reward those daily maximum 30 gran that mirage master gives.
Perhaps a different minigame along with whatever reward increase you give for leaning more towards the duel arenas ...

Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution 2
this wiki
Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution 2 is the fourth instalment of Clash of Ninja for U.S, and all 4 of the normal control set-ups for the Wii are usable.
There are 35 characters, including 7 never before seen in a Naruto: Clash of Ninja or Gekitō Ninja Taisen! game. The story present in this game was made exclusively for the game as well. While there is no online, other features include 15 stages, fully animated cutscenes by Studio Pierrot, destructible environments, and the hand seal system from Naruto Shippūden: Gekitō Ninja Taisen! EX 2. Exclusive to this game and onwards in the Wii sub series are the ability to use paper bombs (even for characters who don't use ninja tools for their strong attacks). Holding down both dodge buttons and pressing the strong attack button enables the player to toss and plant paper bombs at the cost of chakra, though as an added bonus, players can also use the Wii Remote pointed at the screen to aim paper bombs. This new function enables setups of all sorts such as traps to limit screen space and distance attacking. Paper bombs however are no different from normal ninja tools and certain projectiles, and can be deflected.
Players have the ability to turn off obstacles and stage jumping, the latter of which is also accompanied by tier selection, allowing players to play on either one of the two parts of a stage. This effectively doubles the number of stages from 15 to 30, but leaves players unable to stage jump during a fight; however, this trade-off would obviously be intentional. There are ten missions in the game that are altered and specialised for each character chosen, resulting in a total of 350 missions.
The Oboro Mode from the second Clash of Ninja game now makes a return in the form of Kumite Mode, where the haze clones are replaced by the missing-nin instead.
Playable Characters
- Naruto Uzumaki (can enter a Nine-Tails form, also playable in a One-Tailed form)
- Sasuke Uchiha (can activate Sharingan, also playable in a Level 2 Cursed form)
- Sakura Haruno
- Kakashi Hatake (can activate Sharingan)
- Rock Lee (can activate Eight Gates)
- Neji Hyūga
- Tenten
- Might Guy (can activate the Gate of Rest/Healing)
- Hinata Hyūga (also playable in an Awakened form)
- Kiba Inuzuka (assisted by Akamaru)
- Shino Aburame
- Kurenai Yūhi
- Shikamaru Nara
- Chōji Akimichi
- Ino Yamanaka
- Asuma Sarutobi
- Anko Mitarashi
- Towa
- Komachi
- Yūgao Uzuki
- Temari
- Gaara
- Kankurō
- Baki
- Jiraiya
- Tsunade
- Orochimaru
- Kabuto Yakushi
- Itachi Uchiha
- Kisame Hoshigaki
- Bando
- Kagura
- This is the first Naruto: Clash of Ninja game to feature original characters; which is to say, new characters who had not previously appeared in any other media and were created specifically for the story of the game.
- Like the first Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution, this game contains a limited amount of content from one of the two un-localised Gekitō Ninja Taisen Gamecube games, with Revolution 2 being a more alternate parallel to Naruto: Gekitō Ninja Taisen! 4. Unlike Revolution to Gekitō Ninja Taisen 3, Revolution 2 compared to Gekitō Ninja Taisen! 4 have more visual differences from each other, with the notable absence of the Third Hokage and the Sound Five. Characters who have appeared only in Gekitō Ninja Taisen! 3 and 4 also make their American début in this game, such as Anko and the new forms of Naruto and Sasuke.
- The Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution series is North America exclusive, meaning this game series is only available in North America. This means that the original characters (Bando, Kagura, Komachi, and Towa) that appeared in Revolution 2 and 3 have not appeared in any of the Naruto: Clash of Ninja games that are legally sold in Japan.
- When using Second State Sasuke, his Sharingan is shown to have a colour-reversed Sharingan. This is much like Sasuke's Mangekyō Sharingan.
- If the player plays as Tenten, Sakura, or Ino against Sasuke, each will say something showing they like him. This is also true if the player plays Temari against Neji.
- When Sasuke is chosen, he appears in the game without his forehead protector. However, if he is chosen on a Squad Battle with Second State Sasuke, he will have his forehead protector on. This is the only time you can play with Sasuke wearing his forehead protector.
- Out of all the characters, Kabuto is the only one whose health regenerates half the amount of damage he's taken, which makes him have a strong advantage against other CPU-controlled characters.
- There is a glitch that occurs occasionally when playing as Kagura. If the player does a normal two-hit B button combo and tries to follow up with a normal special while playing as her, there is a slight chance that Kagura's special will speed up three times faster than normal and hit the opponent before he/she can use a substitution jutsu. Kagura is the only one so far confirmed that can do this with the help of a glitch.
- In Squad Battle mode, if the player chooses Naruto and Ultimate Nine-Tailed Naruto on the same team, it will always start as Naruto and if KOed, he will turn into Ultimate Nine-Tailed Naruto. The same is for Sasuke and Second State Sasuke. It doesn't matter if the player chose the stronger enhanced versions before their normal selves; it will always start as Naruto and Sasuke.
- In Squad Battle Mode, once Naruto/Sasuke is KOed and then transforms into his enhanced state, he will have boosted stats that are only available in this mode. Ultimate Nine-Tailed Naruto will regenerate chakra and his attack power goes up significantly, but his health slowly degenerates. Second State Sasuke will have his chakra regenerate quicker and his guard is increased, but he loses more health when damaged.
- In Naruto's case, it may be a foreshadowing of the demon fox shroud in the Shippūden series, where it is revealed the chakra around Naruto at that time is harmful to those who come into contact with it, even Naruto himself. This may be even more strongly confirmed, considering during his fight with Sasuke at the Valley of the End at the end of the first part, Naruto's left arm went numb and was useless during the rest of the fight in his Ultimate Nine-Tailed form.
- There is a glitch that shows Jiraiya's Clash of Ninja Revolution character selection screen picture. If the player presses the B button repeatedly to go back to the main menu while the character selection screen for 4 players is loading, before the music starts, and continues repeatedly pressing the button as it gets to the selection screen to go back, there is a chance that the picture of Jiraiya will show on all four players character selection pictures as the player go back to the main menu instead of Naruto, Sasuke, Neji, and Temari, who the cursors start on. This also seems to work in Squad Battle mode.
- This is the first game in the series to feature paper bombs as a universal unblockable projectile (as well as a universal thrown ninja tool) with the exception of Naruto (when the player transform him into Nine-Tailed state when his health gets low), Ultimate Nine-Tailed Naruto, Second State Sasuke, Rock Lee, and Might Guy. Those five have their own unblockable attack and are able to disarm/destroy set/thrown paper bombs, no matter who or what team set/threw them.
- Despite it only being out for less than two months at the time (October 21), this game was nominated for Best Fighting Game on the Wii by IGN in its 2008 video game awards.
- Some sources state the reason why Wi-Fi was dropped in the game was for favour of rebalancing most of the characters (barring the newcomers to the series that is).

that looks like a lot of fun
thanks for posting it
So I posted this map a while ago and had planned to use it for an adventure. However what with life getting a little busy we didn't really get to play too much until now. However I did manage to snag a couple of great screenshots of the map in use so I thought I'd stick them up in our lovely new VTT forum! The shot is a plaer view of the encounter and you can see how maptool creates the fog of war effects (automagically). It calculates what the characters can see depending on the light sources that are available and then reveals it. Works great I have to say. It's an excellent help for figuring out line of sight.
Anyway, here's the original map:
And here's a screenshot of it in use.
great example! .... great vtt-in-game shot ....
so... I assume the party set that on fire?? ... why are the players always setting things on fire?? my party doesn't go a week with out setting something (or someone) on fire... lol

Police Maverick
this wiki
For the Police Helicopters in GTA III and GTA Chinatown Wars, see Police Helicopter (GTA III) and Helicopter (GTA CW) respectively.
The Police Maverick, also known as the VCPD Maverick in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, is the Police adaptation of the civilian Maverick helicopter, and the first controllable Police Helicopter introduced in series when it debuted in Grand Theft Auto : Vice City.
The Police Maverick possess many characteristics of the preceeding Police Helicopter in Grand Theft Auto III. When flown by Police Units once the player obtains a 3 stars wanted level, the helicopter has an "invisible" 5.56mm machine gun on the fuselage (similar in both sound and power to the M-60), as well as a searchlight, and a loud speaker (used by the Police to address the player from the skies) only absent in the GTA Vice City Stories rendition. The helicopter can also airdrop SWAT units on ropes in GTA III Era games starting with Vice City onward. In the GTA III Era games, (GTA III, GTA Vice City and GTA Liberty City Stories) the Police Maverick flown by the Police is actually a mesh - it's not solid and can go through buildings, without a chance of crashing either. If you were to press the enter vehicle button near it, the player would not try to get in the helicopter, therefore it is not proper as it cannot be obtained in any way. In GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories, the helicopters blow up upon contact with the player, this is possibly to stop players from riding it, or just trying to obtain it, but that is unlikely as there is no animation for the door opening.
The Police Maverick controls similarly to a normal Maverick, differing only by its ability to pitch steeper than a regular Maverick (especially in games prior to GTA IV). In addition, Police Mavericks obtainable by the player will have no microphone or machine gun fire. A search light is also available on the GTA San Andreas rendition (see #Trivia).
GTA Vice City — GTA Vice City Stories
Like the Maverick, the helicopter has made repeated appearances in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories.
In GTA Vice City, GTA San Andreas and GTA Vice City Stories, the helicopter is usually always parked on the roof of the main police station of the city. In GTA Liberty City Stories, it is also not available in a normal game, but can be obtained by a third party trainer program. Like the Maverick, the Police Maverick originally featured two rotor blades instead of four.
With the exception of GTA San Andreas, two versions of the Police Maverick exist in all its appearances between GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories. Airborne Police Mavericks operated by the Police feature its back doors slide back, but the same back doors of Police Mavericks available to the player swing open instead. In GTA Vice City Stories, the slide-door variant retains GTA Vice City's green and white livery while the swing-door variant is only available in a olive/gold and white livery. The slide-door variant is not normally available to the player, but it is possible to spawn a slide-door Maverick in these games using trainers/cheat devices.
In GTA Vice City, GTA San Andreas and GTA Liberty City Stories, there is no visible Pilot flying the helicopter when it is flown by an NPC. This visual goof was rectified in GTA Liberty City Stories by simply having the windows of the helicopter blackened, obscuring the interior ; Police Mavericks spawned using a cheat device, however, feature transparent windows. In GTA Vice City Stories, there is a pilot appearing as a normal Police Officer without any Pilot Gear.
Once the player has destroyed a VCPD Maverick in GTA Vice City Stories, it drops a Pistol and a Nightstick.
The Police Maverick is in turn based on a redone Maverick, and as a result, features a rear slid-doors and a four-blade main rotor. In place of an "invisible" machine gun under the fuselage are two Police Officers seated on both sides of the helicopter, programmed to shoot the player with M4 Carbines Rifles ; its ability to deploy NOOSE Tactical Response Unit Officers has also been dropped in the game. In The Ballad Of Gay Tony, the Police Officers will be armed with Advanced MGs (M249 SAWs) instead.
The Police Maverick is slightly faster than a regular Maverick and can turn faster, thus giving it more maneuverability. Its design is based on that of the Bell 206.
In Grand Theft Auto V, the Police Maverick is based on the real-life American Eurocopter AS350B-2 A-Star, replacing the Bell 206 on which the beta Maverick was originally based. Features a rear slid-doors and a three-blade main rotor. It is used for higher level pursuits, finding illegal drug storage and other such crimes. One or two police officers will aim at the player with customized Carbine Rifles. The helicopter is also equipped with a high-intensity spotlight, capable of highlighting targets.
- Occasionally, in GTA IV when you hit the Police Maverick with a rocket in a specific place, such as the rotor blades or the tail, it will lean forward with the nose and plummet down, and explode upon impact with the ground. This is especially dangerous when you are directly below the helicopter when it crashes.
- In all of the GTA III Era games, after you get four stars or higher, two police helicopters will be sent after the player. (In GTA San Andreas this happens when you get five or more stars.)
- An easy way to take down a Police Maverick (or any other helicopter) in GTA San Andreas without using any rockets, is to shoot the rotor to which the blades are attached to with a sniper rifle. If the player hits the rotor directly, the helicopter will start smoking black smoke and then spinning out of control until it hits the ground and finally explodes, similar to what happens when a rocket hits it.
- In GTA Vice City, the red light on the back of airborne Police Mavericks is dislocated, and remain in the same place as its predecessor.
- In GTA Vice City, there is no Pilot in the chopper and is "driving by itself" this was fixed in GTA Vice City Stories however as you can see a pilot and his weapons will become obtainable after taking down the helicopter.
- In the beta version of GTA San Andreas, there were LSPD Police Mavericks.[1]
- GTA San Andreas is the only GTA game to date that lets the player turn on its powerful search light, but its the direction can only be controlled in the PC version - in console versions, it moves in the opposite direction to the movement of the helicopter. The light can only be turned on at night by pressing the left analog stick (Xbox), L3 button (PS2) or Left Shift key (PC).
- If the player manages to steal the Police Maverick in GTA San Andreas while it is in flight, the helicopter will remain hostile. For example, if the player parks the helicopter and gets out, the helicopter's underbelly will shoot at the player from the ground; this is due to programming limitations however.
- In GTA San Andreas, the mounted gun oddly bypasses any coding that would make the object/character invincible. For instance, it will damage the player even if the "Invincibility" cheat is activated. It also can damage a Rhino, which would be impossible with any other firearm; only molotovs, flamethrowers, and crashing the tank have the ability of damaging the Rhino.
- In GTA San Andreas and GTA Vice City Stories, the player is able to steal the Police Maverick chasing them on certain occasions.
- To ensure the player does not manage to gain control of an NPC Police Maverick in GTA Liberty City Stories, the helicopters are programmed to explode upon contact with the player, or fly higher than the player.
- Whilst all Police Mavericks have Police Radios, the GTA Liberty City Stories rendition is equipped with a conventional radio.
- The Police Maverick appears in Rockstar North's Manhunt 2, bearing the VCPD's color scheme.
- There is a Glitch involving the Police Maverick in Grand Theft Auto IV where once Niko gets out, the helicopter will start flying away and fall once it is realized that there is no Pilot. This is because the game still reads the helicopter as AI-Controlled. Holding Y (Xbox 360) or Triangle (PS3) to shut off the engine will prevent this. This will no longer happen when the player goes back to the safe-house from a considerable distance away from it.
- In GTA Vice City, AI Police Mavericks can be seen flying around without a wanted level. They are not solid and do not have any engine noise, for example, when you touch it you go right through it. They also can not be destroyed.
- Occasionally in Vice City Stories the Helicopters will keep ascending once destroyed until the game realizes the helicopter is destroyed.
- There is a glitch in GTA III, GTA Vice City, and GTA LCS that if the Police Maverick is blown up in two pieces and the player activates the "Lower Wanted Level Cheat Code" or "Never Wanted Cheat Code", the helicopter will fly back into the air like nothing even happened. This only happens if the player's wanted level goes under three stars.
- In GTA Vice City, if the player shoots down a helicopter and it crashes into the water, it will keep spinning downward indefinitely until it gets so far away it vanishes, or the player gets their wanted level under 3 stars. If the player's wanted level goes below 3 stars, the Helicopter will rapidly ascend, flying up out of the water or through the ground, and head directly up into the sky before vanishing.
- Despite a news article mentioning that the LCPD didn't acquire Helicopters until 2001, Police Mavericks appear in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, which is set in 1998.
- GTA Vice City Stories is the only GTA III Era game that you can see a Police Officer piloting the helicopter.
- In GTA Vice City and GTA Liberty City Stories, it is possible to spawn a slide-door Police Maverick. However, it will be invisible, and trying to enter it will crash the game, since the game will be looking for the missing door which does not exist on the helicopter. Even if it is controlled, it cannot be flown as pressing the "forward" key does nothing. It otherwise behaves like a normal helicopter, and it can be destroyed, either with the use of weapons or a cheat code.
- It is possible to hijack a slide-door Police Maverick in GTA Liberty City Stories, but only with a cheat device. When the player enters it, the game will show "Helicopter" on the bottom right of the screen. Interestingly enough, the gunner will continue to shoot the player. This helicopter has several unique properties - it is extremely responsive, has different flight characteristics and cannot be blown up with a cheat. It also retains its unique damage system and can pass through buildings and water unaffected. If the player stores it in a garage it will lose these properties and become invisible again.
- In the GTA III era, there was always a picture of a Police Maverick in the top-left corner of the every games' cover art (this is true for the North American cover art). The only GTA III Era game that didn't have this was GTA Advance.
- In GTA San Andreas, the Pilot, Gunner and Co-Pilot are "Jim", "Dave", "Ned", and "John" respectively. (Jim: There he is kill him, John! John: Why do I always do the fuckin' killing?!") and (John: Jim, you see anything? Jim: Over there!! shoot him!) And (Hey, I can see my house from here!) (Dave, will you shut the hell up? You, stop!!) GTA San Andreas Police Quotes.
- In GTA Liberty City Stories, one of the Pilots is called "Jimmy". (Co-Pilot: Jimmy, can you keep this 'copter steady?").
- In GTA IV, if the two riflemen are killed Independently the Police Maverick will leave and return with two new riflemen in about a minute.
- In GTA San Andreas there is a Glitch only on the Xbox and PC version. If the player does a replay then the Police Maverick will fly away after the replay is done or exited.
- In GTA LCS, the Police Maverick can get throught to some solid thing, for example rock cliffs.
- In GTA San Andreas, If player is standing on the Police helicopter for too long while the helicopter is shooting at the player, it may shoot itself down. (This can only be done with Jetpack.)
- In GTA San Andreas, a Police Maverick will not shoot the player if they are inside any aircraft, it will only chase the player instead.
- In GTA Vice City, the machine gun actually fires from the back rather than under the belly.
- If you spawn the unobtainable slide door variant (through trainers only) and get in, the pilot seat is actually in the passenger seat in the back and the player can't take off, only hover. It has a breakable tail and the chopper always is too heavy, causing it to sink. The helicopter also lacks the rotors.
- In GTA San Andreas, the A.I. controlled Police maverick may sometimes appear under the ground if you use the Jetpack to shake the maverick off multiple times.
- GTA Vice City
- GTA San Andreas
- On top of the LSPD rooftop in Pershing Square, Los Santos after completing the mission Learning to Fly.
- GTA Vice City Stories
- On roof of the Downtown police station (after the mission From Zero to Hero is completed.)
- On the roof of the Washington Beach police station (before and after the mission From Zero To Hero.)
- 1st Method - Only obtainable by sniping the pilot, making the helicopter slowly hover to the ground undamaged. It only works 5/10 times, which means in which the Police Maverick will spin rapidly around in circles, hitting the ground with fierce force and exploding. Also obtainable by an even more frustrating process in which the helicopter is disabled at a low enough altitude that all occupants live, and then the Police Maverick is pushed into a SafeHouse Parking Spot. That method probably works less often than the previous. Other than that, you can only fly the Police Maverick in MultiPlayer Race Mode.
- 2nd method - Go to middle of pond in Middle Park and snipe people until you get a three star wanted level. When the helicopter appears, shoot the Pilot from the side. If it falls in shallow water, it is yours. Since the Police Officers will not try to swim to the island to get you, you will have plenty of chances to get the Police Maverick before the NOOSE Annihilators appear.
NOTE: If the player manages to lure the helicopter over the pond in Middle Park, it will be easier to obtain, although the helicopter must have an open space and the water must be shallow.
- (Multiplayer only) On the rooftop helipad of the East Holland police station in Algonquin.
- During the mission "Not So Fast", you can steal a Police Maverick when you have to climb back on to the roof to get back in Yusuf's Buzzard by waiting a few seconds, when a Police Maverick will land on the roof.

Tests and benchmarks
To run the tests and benchmarks, you will need the test data, which you can clone from one of the following locations:
Mercurial master repository: bitbucket.org/bos/text-test-data
Git mirror repository: github.com/bos/text-test-data
You should clone that repository into the
tests subdirectory (your
clone must be named
text-test-data locally), then run
make -C
tests/text-test-data to uncompress the test files. Many tests and
benchmarks will fail if the test files are missing.
Functional tests
The functional tests are located in the
tests subdirectory. An overview of
what's in that directory:
Makefile Has targets for common tasks Tests Source files of the testing code scripts Various utility scripts text-tests.cabal Cabal file that compiles all benchmarks
text-tests.cabal builds:
- A copy of the text library, sharing the source code, but exposing all internal modules, for testing purposes
- The different test suites
To compile, run all tests, and generate a coverage report, simply use
The benchmarks are located in the
benchmarks subdirectory. An overview of
what's in that directory:
Makefile Has targets for common tasks haskell Source files of the haskell benchmarks python Python implementations of some benchmarks ruby Ruby implementations of some benchmarks text-benchmarks.cabal Cabal file which compiles all benchmarks
To compile the benchmarks, navigate to the
benchmarks subdirectory and run
cabal configure && cabal build. Then, you can run the benchmarks using:
However, since there's quite a lot of benchmarks, you usually don't want to
run them all. Instead, use the
-l flag to get a list of benchmarks:
And run the ones you want to inspect. If you want to configure the benchmarks

Al Pacino is an acting legend who has starred in some truly great movies... but he's also been in some less-than-spectacular flicks. So how can you know ahead of time whether an Al Pacino movie will be Classic Cinema or just a Pacino Paycheck? We're working on a formula that will allow us to plug in some numbers and arrive at a conclusion, and here's what we have so far.
Looking at the variables in this equation, it seems like Heat could have been a miss. It might not have been a sure thing, but it's definitely one of the best cat-and-mouse cop movies to hit theaters. It's Certified Fresh by Rotten Tomatoes and is a classic '90s crime drama.
At a glance, we'd assume an Al Pacino working with a comedian and a director who together regularly spin box office gold would result in something pretty terrific. Instead it results in Jack and Jill. It has a lowly 3% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and it didn't even make back its production budget at the domestic box office. Not a classic by anyone's standards.
The numbers show all the earmarks of a great movie, and indeed The Godfather is nearly the definition of a classic. It has a great script full of quotable lines, an all-star cast, and a legacy that's still going strong over forty years after the movie's release.
If someone were to say "Hey, wanna watch a movie with a star-studded cast that includes Al Pacino, Christopher Walken and Ben Affleck," we would definitely be interested. If that person were to then say "oh, and the guy that made Scent of a Woman directed it," we'd be sold. Who would ever guess that a movie that was made up of such great components would turn out to be Gigli?
When he made Scarface, director Brian DePalma was best known for his work in the horror/thriller genres with movies like Carrie and Blow Out. There was no telling that he was about to make a movie that would be a pop-culture touchstone for decades to come. To this day Scarface posters decorate the walls of dorm rooms and frat houses everywhere, and it is no doubt a classic.
Truth be told, we're still stumped. It seems like no matter what the numbers suggest, there's no telling what you're going to get with an Al Pacino flick. Nonetheless, we're optimistic about Son of No One, a Pacino movie that is directed by an acclaimed filmmaker (Dito Montiel) and co-stars one Sexiest Man Alive (Channing Tatum) and one American Sweetheart (Katie Holmes). So will this one be a Pacino Classic? Find out when Son of No One airs on REELZ Saturday at 8p ET/ 5p PT.

May 6, 2016
The threat of sequestration has prompted Seymour Johnson to cancel this year's air show at the Air Force base.
Wings Over Wayne was scheduled for May 18-19 in Goldsboro.
"Our decision to cease planning for the 2013 air show comes after careful review and consideration of the fiscal challenges the Air Force, the Department of Defense and our nation face," said Col. Jeannie Leavitt, 4th Fighter Wing commander. "We're taking prudent measures and doing our best to mitigate our budget risks and align available resources with current and emerging operational requirements. Remaining as mission-ready as possible and preserving our combat capability is our imperative and we're prioritizing spending to ensure this priority is met."
If Congress can't reach an agreement, a series of sudden, deep cuts in military and domestic spending kicks in.
The Air Force says while the dollar savings initially is low, cancelling the air show would enable them to reallocate resources to their primary mission of combat readiness training. Other Air Force bases have also cancelled their air shows.
Seymour Johnson says no dates have been set for future Wings Over Wayne Air Shows.

Title : New song made on Alice Marley, an alewife at
Also known as :
Bishopric garland; or Durham minstrel. A choice collection of excellent songs ;
Format : song
Composer : unknown ; Compiler : Ritson, Joseph (b.1752 d.1803)
Production details : publisher : R. TriphookSt. James's Street ; London
Date : 1810
Collection name : Northern garlands
A famous 18th century song describing the adventures of an innkeeper at Picktree, near Chester-le-Street. The subject of this song was one Alice Marley, innkeeper of the Barley Mow at Picktree. Famous for her hospitality and lively humour Alice, or Elsie, met with a strange end on 5th August, 1768, when suffering from a fever she left her house and fell into a flooded coal-pit.
This song is taken from 'The Bishopric Garland', one of 4 volumes of songs collected by Joseph Ritson in the late eighteenth-early nineteenth century and published under the collective title of 'The Northern Garlands'. The volumes are entitled respectively, - 'The Bishopric Garland; or Durham Minstrel', 'The Yorkshire Garland', 'The Northumberland Garland', and 'The North Country Chorister'. The Bishopric Garland, as with its companions, was published separately in 1784, 1792 and 1809. The Northern Garland was published in London by R. Triphook in 1810 and is held by the Robinson Library of Newcastle University.
The collector, Joseph Ritson, was born on the 2nd October, 1752 at Stockton-upon-Tees. After studying law under a Ralph Bradley Esq., Ritson settled in London where he commenced practice as a surveyor. He did however 'keep an affection for the north which prompted him to compile, between 1783 and 1802 several collections of verse relating to Durham, Yorkshire and Northumberland. Here were printed, sometimes for the first time, but in most cases from broadsides and other printed sources, 'Elsie Marley', 'Rookhope Ryde', 'The Battle of Otterburn' ... [etc.] (Frank Rutherford; The collecting and publishing of Northumbrian folk-song; Archaeologia Aeliana 4 XLII). This is not only an important collection in its own right, but was also one of the main sources used in the compilation of the Northumbrian Minstrelsy, the first large-scale regional survey of song to be made in Britain.

Kalos is a new region set to appear in the upcoming Generation VI game Pokémon X and Y. This region is mostly based on France. The Legendary Pokémon that appeared in this region are Xerneas and Yveltal.
Vaniville Town
Vaniville Town is where the hero/heroine moves-in at the start of the game. It's also home to Trevor, Tierno, Shauna , and Serena/Calem, the opposite character of the gender you chose.
Santalune City
Santalune City is home to the Santalune City Gym and its Gym Leader, Viola, who specialises in Bug-type Pokémon.
Lumiose City
Lumiose City is the main city of Kalos.[1] It is home to Alexa, a journalist and Gym Leader Viola's big sister.On the map it looks like it has a gym in the tower.
Probable Areas
Using the Kalos Map as evidence, certain areas can be identified, as they stand out.
Pokémon LeagueA certain area of Kalos looks like a castle. This castle bears resemblances to previous Pokémon League buildings (or castles). It has 5 red towers, which could hold the Elite Four and The Pokémon Champion in them. There is a cave, a river and a gran staircase in front of the building, which could be Victory Road.
Kalos Route 1
Kalos Route 1 is the first route found in Kalos.
Kalos Route 2
Kalos Route 2 is seen at a snapshot at the official website of Pokémon X & Y. It is most likely the second route in the Kalos region.
Kalos Route 3
Kalos Route 3 is seen at the first trailer. If you look at the first trailer and the screenchots from the official website you ca see that this Route looks different from the first trailer, for example having more trees and more detaied plants, rocks, etc. This may be because they are still working on the desings of the overworld. It is most likely the third route of the Kalos region. This Route connects Santalune Forest with Santalune City.
Kalos Route 5
Kalos Route 5 is briefly seen at the second gameplay trailer, where the player is in Lumiose City with a building having a 5 at the entrance in the background, in other words the Gate between the route and the city. Or it could simply be a building with a 5 on the entrance.
- This is the second region, both overall and in a row, not to be based on an area in Japan. The first was Unova which was based off New York City in United States.
- Similarly, Kalos is the second region to have the routes restart at 1, the first being Unova.
- Kalos is meant to be based off France, but the creators took inspiration on other parts of Europe. If you look at the top-left corner of the Kalos region you can see a town with a resemblance to Stonehenge, which is in England, mixed with the Carnac Stones, a group of rocks in France.
- Kalos comes from a Greek inscription meaning "beauty".

text: First, I want to thank the Spokesman Recorder for a concerted effort to maintain a steady flow of important quality information about the life and times of our community. Many people of African heritage and some of other cultural groups have written different literature about the Black experience, including interpretations of the impact of the horrific conditions under which we have lived for over 25 generations. There is a collection of written materials in several places such as libraries and universities like the Givens collection locally. Materials written about us by us include newspaper and magazine articles, peer-reviewed scholarly articles covering everything from the slave trade to awful public hangings of our people. Many writers have pursued studies that document our pain, our suffering and our victimization at the hands of the people who enslaved us. Continue Reading →

First lady Michelle Obama will challenge governors to make it easier for military members to transfer their skills to civilian jobs.
Mrs. Obama wants states to pass legislation or take executive action allowing veterans to receive professional credentials or licenses based on their experiences in the military. Administration officials say that would allow veterans to apply for jobs more quickly rather than having to take courses for skills they already have.
Mrs. Obama will announce her proposals Monday during remarks to governors who are in Washington for their annual meeting.
President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden will also address the governors during the White House event.

Recently, you mentioned on your awesome-sauce bloggity blog that you and your family are taking on the task of re-appropriating a room in your home for your two daughters who are about to enter teenager-dom.
First, I wanted to say what an awesome thing to do for your girls. They will so appreciate the space of their own. Secondly, I am thoroughly excited by the room you have selected for transformation as it has so much character and just looks fun!
But this letter is to address some questions you posed at the end of your post on what to do with the space. Specifically, you pondered:
* Replacing the carpet. We've been playing with the idea of using FLOR carpet tiles, and have found three different complementary colors we're in love with. But is FLOR, like, totally 2003? Have any of you used them? Any concerns? Horror stories? I'm obviously drawn to being able to install them ourselves.
So I wanted to take a moment to respond to your inquiries. NOT because I write for FLOR, but because I am a tried and true FLOR lover and I know you will love them too.
First off, I can assure you that FLOR is 100%, without question, modern, up-to-date and most-definitely NOT "totally 2003″. The styles they have are fresh and now; and with their focus on sustainability and a commitment to Mission Zero – a promise to eliminate any negative impact the Interface family of companies may have on the planet by the year 2020 – they are totally relevant to 2011.
Secondly, well before I ever started writing on this here blog, I was a FLOR fan. It all started in 2009 when I saw a demonstration on the Martha Stewart show and subsequently designed and installed a beautiful area rug for my son's nursery.
The installation was easy, but not without its kinks. You see, Kevin Sharkey had made it look sooooooo easy to cut the FLOR tiles that I thought I could just use any-ole knife and any-ole ruler. I will admit defeat as I ruined two tiles that day and decided NOT to try to cut them again.

anyone here have/had a betta do this ....
I'll start with the basics asked by the administrator:
What size is your tank?
2gal hex
What temperature is your tank?
78/79F (I won't be able to adjust the thermostat to effect a 1/2deg change, so I leave it at that)
Does your tank have a filter?
Does your tank have an air stone or other type of aeration?
Is your tank heated?
What tank mates does y our betta fish live with?
What type of food do you feed your betta fish?
betta flakes/blood worms, some live insects (tiny knats/flies) that he devours quickly (now that cold weather is here, those no longer available)
How often do you feed your betta fish?
up till week ago, every six hours (he ate it up quick). Last couple days, once a day (he won't eat any more than that)
How often do you perform a water change?
Now that the water is cycled, twice a week
What percentage of the water do you change when you perform a water change?
What type of additives do you add to the water when you perform a water change?
API's pH down, Tetra's aquasafe plus
Water Parameters:
Have you tested your water? If so, what are the following parameters?
close to 0ppm (light yellow on color scale)
close to 0ppm (light blue on color scale)
very low (light orange on color scale)
little above neutral, slightly alkaline, been this way for several months
Symptoms and Treatment
How has your betta fish's appearance changed?
no, colors are still as vibrant as before
How has your betta fish's behavior changed?
seems more lethargic, rests constantly on bottom of tank on the sand, occasionally goes to surface for air, used to go for air leisurely,
now goes quickly to surface and "snatches" a gulp of breath and then immediately makes a beeline to the bottom for more sedentary rest on bottom
, previously energetic and active swimming all over the tank like he was patroling his territory,
now spasmotic with quick jerking movements. seems now to be nervous and acting spooked,
does not come to surface for food as he did before whenever I was at the tank, used to go up to food (on surface) and immediately bite quickly at it,
now comes up to food and stares at it for several long periods and then launches his whole body at a piece of food, sometimes just looks at the food and never eats it
. Previously, he was an eating machine, even ate some of the ghost shrimp I had in the tank a while back.
His appetite is definitely diminished, he seems to not like the upper level of the tank anymore (goes straight to the top for air and quickly darts to the bottom for more motionless sitting on sand)
Before he never sat on bottom of tank, just went to bottom to eat up a few of the betta flakes that landed there. He also used to rest in the mid and upper levels of the water on the leaf of the plastic plant.
He no longer does that.
That's about the whole of it. Something definitely different, if not wrong. I am beginning to worry. Nothing in the tank changed in the last several weeks. I am almost certain I haven't done something different, but you know how that goes (maybe I did). I am mystified.
When did you start noticing the symptoms?
almost a week ago
Have you started treating your fish? If so, how?
Does your fish have any history of being ill?
How old is your fish (approximately)?
probably six/seven months, he looked half grown when I got him, looks full grown now.

Your method of completing the info sheet was great.....It really helped this old lady read it and along with the detailed info-really, really helps to give a good picture of what is going on....Anyway.....
Any live plants in the tank
As a male Betta matures-it is not uncommon for them to become less active, however, usually they will stay at the top of the tank not the bottom. Its hard to say what is wrong-but what I would recommend-turn off the filter and/or remove it all together and start a fresh/dechlorinated water treatment and see if this will perk him up.
Sometimes-not always, the water movement in smaller tanks can be stressful and you need to rule this out first. You also might be having some pH swings too since you are using a pH altering product.
What is your source water, what is the pH, KH/GH of the source water without any additives and the type of testing products used.
Freshwater treatment-turn off the filter and make 50% water only changes daily for 2 days-Then 50% every other day for 4 days-Then re-eval...If at any point he has any behavior or change in symptoms-he may need a full treatment.
Nutrition-if you have access to live mosquito larva-offer several rinsed once a day to boost protein intake to support the immune response. Otherwise, good quality varied diet fed in small frequent meals.
Can you post a pic...

Thanks for the reply. I thought the different colors would speed the reading of the post.
Let me work on that photo. Haven't done that in a while on a computer. I'll get back on that.
I should have mentioned previous post that the betta does not move his mouth that much, making that gasping motion. I have always read that is a bad sign for a fish, so, not doing it must be alright. I know that Bettas get their air from the surface, but no gasping must be good.
When resting still on the bottom, sometimes the fins are laid down flat and the betta is a little on his side. Other times, the fins are opened up and the betta is sitting upright. I have been "holding my breath" expecting one morning to find him floating on surface or upside down. But, fortunately, not yet.
No live plants, only one large and two small plastic plants plus some red lava rock. Betta never seemed to bothered by those for the last several months.
The water has always moved on the surface, outward from the filter and then off to both sides and downward along the front face, then making its way to the rear of the tank. The betta never had much of a problem with that for several months, either.
My water is from the kitchen sink, county water supply. It must have lotsa hardness because it's very alkaline; dark blue on the pH color scale. So, I do have to use a pH lowering agent. I did once over use the ph down and it made the betta swim erratically and on it's side. Completely stressed him out. I immediately changed the water again, with proper treatment amounts, and all was well. So .... I know what that mistake, changing the pH radically, looks like.
Yesterday, I took some test measurements of the water and all three (pH, ammonia, nitrite) were A-OK. I use those API kits where you put the drops into 5ml of the test water, shake it up, and then wait a few minutes for the results to develop.
However, I did an @90% water change anyway, and it seemed some life came back into the betta. He came up to surface when I came to the tank, like he was expecting food. He ate a little but not much. I think I will start doing those water changes you recommended, with the filter off.
His lack of appetite is now what is starting to concern me most. My understanding is that fish have to eat constantly because they digest their food rather quickly. Is that correct? If he doesn't start eating regularly, and soon, his immune system must suffer, I figure. That would make him a prime candidate for disease.
Thanks, Thom

Here is a photo of my betta. hope it helps.
Here is another:
I have left the filter off for the last 24 hrs and the betta does seem to be less jerking/darting in his movements, such as when he goes to the surface for air. And, he no longer launches himself at the surface when taking some air, like he did the last several days.
His belly is not swollen, that I can detect. His gills don't look anymore different than what I remember. His eyes don't seem abnormal. I have used a magnifying glass for these inspections. I'm keeping a close watch on him for now.
I will continue the filter-off and water changes for the next week to see what happens.
But as I said before, he just sits there on the bottom doing nothing, really.

Well, it's been a month since this problem began. First, my betta seemed to start recovering. He even began to start coming to top of the tank when I come close with food. His appetite was better.
However, he now seems to have gotten worse. He lays on the substrate, almost completely on his side and he curves his body, it seems.
He also has trouble getting himself moving forward from this sedentary postion on the tank bottom. Another time I witnessed him swimming on his side, trying to right himself.
His swimming up to the top to get air, he darts with the utmost speed and runs into the side of the tank and even into the sand substrate (when he returns to hsi sedentary position). Something is making him go crazy???
The water parameters are all perfect, or nearly so. Ph is a little alkaline, as it always has been. Ammonia is yellow on the chart (lowest ppm). Nitrite is light blue (lowest) Temperture is 78-80deg.
It is not the water quality. I watch it religiously.
His mouth is now moving open/closed/open/closed etc. He also has not eaten anything in five days.
Man oh man, I am worried he might be on his last legs/fins.
I gave the tank a good cleaning today; new filter media, new sand, new plant with broad leaves to hide under.
One thing I noticed the last month was this brownish film starting to accumulate on the sides of the tank, plastic plants, heater, filter etc. I scrubbed the tank with my algae scrapper. Was this brownish film a form of algae?
Anyone have any experience with these symptoms? Dang! I'm at wits end.

Are you still trying to artificially change the ph? The thing with that product is that it will lower it temporarily but it will just climb back up over time. You can't stabilize it with that product. Your fish will keep seeing swings over and over again.. This could be causing your problems if your'e still trying to treat with that. What is the water source you are using? Plain tap water? As long as it's under 9 from the tap and you treat it with water conditioner that's all you need. The more you mess with it the more likely you are to develop problems.
what is the pH, KH/GH of the source water without any additives and the type of testing products used.
Sounds like brown algae. It's harmless, but ugly. Usually caused by too much light.. how often do you leave light on to your tank?
Feeding live insects that you randomly find outside is really bad idea.. really good way to give your guy an internal infection and also you don't know where they're been.. they could have picked up any number of pesticides and crap.. Blood worms should be fed only as treats and one or two once a week. One fast day a week is necessary no matter what you feed. Flakes should always be avoided. Look for a good quality pellet for your staple - like Omega One Betta Buffet (feed 3-4 split up into two feedings a day) or New Life Spectrum Betta (feed 5-8 split up into 2 or even 3 feedings a day). You can supplement one feeding a week with a blood worm or two if you wish.
Right now it looks like.. it's hard to see but is he bloated around the middle.. stomach sticking out in a round ball? What does his poop look like? I would remove the sand so you can monitor the poop and get him in pure epsom salts - 1 tsp per gallon (so looks like 2 tsp for your 2 gallon), predissolved. They must be added slowly over an hour or more and not just dumped at one time. Please check the ingredients to make sure they are pure magnesium sulfate with no additives. In the meantime look for Kanaplex or Maracyn Plus (not to be confused with Maracyn or Maracyn II) antibiotics.

Hello, thanks for the reply
You know? I have noticed that the pH does climb back up into alkalinity over the course of a day or two. So, you're right, that pH down is only temporary.
I use the county tap water (with AquaSafe) and it's pH is very dark blue (meaning high alkalinity). I thought that was not good for any fish, so I decided to use the pH down. I will now suspend the use of it to see what happens.
I thought the live insects from outside would be healthy, but now that you mention it, those bugs could be eating who-knows-what. He sure did like eating them. He went "great white shark" on those bugs. I named him Sharkey. BTW, he is brutal on tank mates; ghost shrimp, fiddler crab, very aggresive.
He did eat the betta flakes when I first got him but once he ate the blood worms, that's all he wants. If I slack off on the bloodworms, he will eat any betta flakes on the substrate.
His belly is not swollen, that I can see. Nor is his eys popeyed, as they say. Don't really see any different colors to his body than what I saw before.
I just ordered some Epsom salts and will administer on arrival. I'll see what affect that has.
Man, I am depressed to see my betta this way.

Some places do have PH too high for fish. I know the API standard PH test kit only goes to 7.6 and most places have ph higher than that. You can invest in the high ph test kit by API which goes much higher and you can figure out exactly what it is. If it's under 8 I'd for sure leave it alone. If it's over 8 but under 9 you have a choice of cutting it 50/50 with some RO water - this mixture must be VERY carefully measured and done exactly the same every time to avoid fish stress. If it's over 9 you need to cut it.
At this point I will see exactly what the tap ph is and decide what to do accordingly. Whatever you do you need to acclimate your boy
slowly to this new water.. as in cup him and add a tablespoon every 10 minutes for 2 hours and every time I would test the water to see the change in ph until you finally see it slowly hit the target.
Have you tried NLS Betta or Omega One pellets? If he'll eat the flakes on the floor he'll eat a good pellet. They do love the blood worms.. they're like crack to some bettas.. but they're not healthy and you have to be really careful not to overfeed.
Hopefully stabilizing his water and getting good quality meals replaced you'll have a turn around. I'd be hesitant to add an antibiotic to his system at this point just because it seems so delicate.. but it's kind of one of those choices that there is no clear answer. That's why I'd start with stable water and epsoms.

I'll monitor the pH very carefully and use the betta pellets.
I have a one gal. distiller. Would that water be better for the betta? (If it comes down to that)
So, you don't think flake food is any good? What did you find wrong with it, if you don't mind me asking.
thanks, thomas

One other thing I have noticed in the last two/three days is my betta fish doesn't seem to have anymore "balance" when he rests on the substrate or when he floats in the water. He either "crash lands" on the sand of the substrate or he floats, sinks actually, in a vertical position to the bottom of the tank. It's like he has no way to keep himself upright. That's the best way I can describe his behavior.
I'm not a fish anatomy expert, but isn't there an organ or gland or something that the fish uses to keep themselves right side up?
My betta is also doing that curved spine posture when resting on the bottom of the tank.
Nowadays when he goes to surface for air, he darts extremely fast back and forth, under the surface. He looks as if he is going crazy, or something. Almost as if his brain has gone haywire.
As I said before, I have kept the tank water pristine (in my opinion) since I started this tank. When cycling a new filter media I would do water changes all day as needed and then just before bed and again when waking in the morning. Whenever the ammonia test went from yellow to the slightest green I would do a 50% water change. I changed 50% water just before bed and again when first waking in morning.
I did the same thing for the nitrite cycling; when the light blue changed to the slightest sign of purple, I did a 50% water change.
So .... there wasn't any time, that I can determine, when the ammonia/nitrite were at a "really" dangerous level. I thought I was certain that his brain had not been cooked with dangerous levels of ammonia and/or nitrite.
When I was feeding him lots of bloodworms, before this problem started, he would defecate out much material. So, I did not think he was becoming constipated.
I'll start those epsom salts as soon as they arrive.

Internal Metatarsal Boots
There are no products matching the selection.
My size 11 1/2 EW arrived today! I want to say how excellent your customer service was. Rarely would I purchase an item such as shoes over the Net, due to the fact of not trying them on before purchasing. Then I was concerned with shipping an item back and paying for shipping of the exchange item again. You handled everything and did as you advertised to satisfy my purchase.

Pattern and Punch
Posted by Cynthia | Filed under Musings
Interior Designer Kelly Behun, with artist Alex P. White, has curated a bold new exhibit at R 20th Century Gallery in NYC titled After. Known for her work with high powered clients such as Rupert and Wendi Murdoch and Ian Schrager, the show includes limited-edition pieces from Kelly Behun Studio as well as work from seven additional artists. 'Generally drawn to strong shapes and clean, almost architectural lines', Ms. Behun brings a strong history of collaboration with artists to this new show. The installation is beautifully composed; a dynamic display of pattern, varied scale and graphic imagery. Presenting a monochromatic palette, one can feel the energy and visual punch almost jump off the page of the photography of the exhibited work.
The resultant outcome of the project is Kelly Behun Studio's introduction of a custom furniture collection. This is only the beginning. I look forward to seeing the promised work that is yet to come.

Comments about Mighty Mite MM2705 Telecaster Replacement Body:
I bought this body because I wanted to build a sea foam green telecaster. First impressions were amazing! However within five minutes I noticed a few chips and a somewhat hazy finish. When I started to put parts on, they didn't all fit. The bridge wouldn't line up with the crooked string holes and pickup routing. I made it work but the guitar is barely intonated. The neck pocket is to wide for a fender neck so there is a gap and the screw holes didn't line up with a Warmoth neck. to anyone else the guitar looks perfect, but to the people who build these guitars, aka me, they'll notice all the flaws. Don't expect much with this body.
Comments about Mighty Mite MM2705 Telecaster Replacement Body:
Overall if you are on a tight budget it is good but if you can spend a little more then search for a dealer on ebay to give you a body that has all the demensions you need
Bought this body with mighty mite bridge and you think it would fit...nope! I had to order 3 bridges until I found one that would fit(stew mac regular bridge with the grooved saddles..not the ungrooved brass saddle version) Customer service was non existant. Finally got through and they never called me back. Musicians Friend were no help either....MF get to know your products!!!!! Routing not very accurate.
It's not a bad body but I would help to give specifics on measurements and what types of bridges would fit. Believe it or not there are mant different bridges with very dofferent measurements and fars string spacing(obvious) and the length of the plate pickup hole matching with the routing. Routing was not very accurate.
There necks are a better value. KNowing all of this I would have spent the extra money and bought a nitro body from one of the reputable ebay dealers. They at least know the exact measurements. This is the fault of Mighty Mite but also Musicians Friend.
Comments about Mighty Mite MM2705 Telecaster Replacement Body:
At this price you can't go wrong. Quality is first rate and you'de be hard pressed to apply a finish this good.
I built a partscaster but didn't want to finish the body. I bought the mighty might in natural because I thought if it looked like mostly like the one in photo that would be fine. Mine came to me and was absolutely beautiful. The wood grain was pefect, the finish - perfect. The string and neck bolt holes all seemed up to snuff and I ended up having a fantastic looking tele. It's not the lightest weight peice of wood out there but for a single peice swamp ash body that's kinda par for the course.
Anyway you can't go wrong with one of these - especially for the price. Think of doing a mary kay (white with gold hardware) for next one and will definately use a MM body.
Comments about Mighty Mite MM2705 Telecaster Replacement Body:
I decided to build a parts-caster and wanted to do a natural blonde w/black pick guard classic looking tele. I took a chance on the MM body and I have to say the finish and wood are beautiful. For the price you really can't beat these. It's not super light but it's just a gorgeous piece of wood and the finish is flawless. I'm guessing it's a poly finish but I'm not sure. It could by lacquer because I put a couple of tiny cracks in the finish when I installed the string ferrules(whoops).The neck I had fit perfect in the pocket and all the fender hardware lines up with the routing and holes. The only downside is that the American Standard pick guard doesn't line up "exactly" so I've ordered a Mighty Mite guard and am hoping that fits better. Not a biggie though and a little trim work would make the standard fit. Bottom line is that if you want to build your own guitar but don't want to do the finish/paint work you can't beat these in terms of quality and price.
