The Mets will try to get back on track tonight as they open a three-game series with the Washington Nationals in D.C. at 7:05 p.m. on SNY.
Jacob deGrom (0-1, 2.55) will face off Max Scherzer (3-1, 1.95 ERA) for the second consecutive outing. DeGrom walked six against Washington on Sunday, but also struck out 10 batters. Scherzer gave up three runs on five hits in eight innings against the Mets on Sunday.
The Mets will be without Yoenis Cespedes, who left Thursday's game with a hamstring strain and is scheduled to have an MRI today. Mets manager Terry Collins said he expects Cespedes to land on the disabled list.
Brandon Nimmo led off and played nine inningsin a rehab game for Single-A St. Lucie on Thursday night.
Nimmo went 0-for-2 with two walks and a strikeout as he completed his second rehab game in as many days.
He went 1-for-3 with a double, two RBI, and three runs Wednesday in his first rehab game since suffering a strained hamstring during the World Baseball Classic in March.
Nimmo, 24, hit .274 with one home run and six RBI in 32 games for the Mets last season.

Mets RHP Matt Harvey allowed six runs on five hits while walking five and striking out one in 4 1/3 innings against the Braves on Thursday as his ERA rose to 4.25 for the season.
He said after the game that he had an 'intense' workout on Wednesday, was tight during his start, and that his body didn't respond.
Harvey tossed a 1-2-3 first inning as his fastball sat in the mid-90s, but struggled with his command each inning after.
Yoenis Cespedes exited Thursday afternoon's game in the fourth inning due to a left hamstring strain and will soon undergo an MRI.
Cespedes came up limping while legging out a double to lead off the inning. Terry Collins and Ray Ramirez trotted out to Cespedes, who walked off the field slowly with assistance.
He was replaced by Juan Lagares.
Cespedes recently missed three games due to a left hamstring issue, and had returned to the lineup on Wednesday.
Mets manager Terry Collins addressed his team after Thursday afternoon's loss, before speaking to reporters, and told them it's time to begin doing what they did so well last season, which is fight through adversity.
In 2016, the Mets lost several players to injury during the season, including Yoenis Cespedes, Matt Harvey, Asdrubal Cabrera, Jacob deGrom and others, yet still won the top Wild Card.
I told them, 'We can do it again, but it's got to start now,'" Collins said, raising his voice in response to a reporter's question. "OK, so the weather is gonna start changing. That can no longer be the excuse. It's now time to go out and grind it out as we did last year...

1) Yoenis Cespedes limped off the field in the fourth inning after injuring the same hamstring that kept him out for three games recently.
2) Matt Harvey looked great in the first inning and looked like a mess thereafter, as his command vanished and his fastball velocity dipped as low as 90 MPH. He limited the damage until the fifth, when he was done in by a three-run homer by Kurt Suzuki that ended his day...
In their 10 games since April 14, the Mets are 1-9, they've made 13 errors, they're batting just .178, and averaging less than three runs a game. Also, they've played 93 innings, during 40 percent of which they sent just three batters to the plate.
This is a classic Sandy Alderson team, though. It's built on power hitting and power pitching. Its goal is to win by hitting home runs and striking guys out. That's it. It's not very nuanced or creative or strategic. It's not about stealing bases, manufacturing runs, pitching to contact or having a top-rated defense. He may be smart, and he might make decisions using statistical evidence, but to Alderson baseball is simple.
In 2013, I asked Alderson on record about his ideal roster...
Noah Syndergaard has been scratched from Thursday afternoon's start against the Braves, manager Terry Collins announced.
Syndergaard later told reporters that the area around his shoulder and biceps began irritating him this past Monday and Tuesday. He described the mild pain as 'discomfort.'
He will undergo an MRI and could pitch Sunday depending on the results.
R.A. Dickey will make his first appearance at Citi Field since being traded by the Mets in late 2012.
In 2012, Dickey, his story and his knuckleball distracted Mets fans from an otherwise disappointing season, during which he led the NL in victories (20) and strikeouts (230) and won the franchise's first Cy Young Award since Dwight Gooden in 1985...
The Mets (8-12) continue their shortened two-game series against the Braves (7-12) at Citi Field at 1:10 p.m. on Thursday. The Mets, who were off on Monday and were rained out on Tuesday, lost to Atlanta 8-2 Wednesday night.
Noah Syndergaard was today's scheduled starter, but was scratched Thursday morning after experiencing discomfort in his biceps.
The Mets have lost five straight games and nine of their last 10 to fall to fourth place in the N.L. East -- 6.5 games behind the first place Nationals. ... The Mets are 4-9 at home this season. ... The Mets opened this season by winning 2 of 3 games against the Braves at Citi Field.
Right-hander Matt Harvey, (2.84 ERA/4.91 FIP, 0.947 WHIP), who allowed three runs on four hits while striking out two and walking two last Friday against the Nationals.
The Mets committed three errors in the first three innings of their series-opening loss Wednesday to the Braves at Citi Field.
It was the team's fifth straight loss, during which they've logged seven errors.
Mets rookie RHP Robert Gsellman gave up five earned runs on 10 hits in four plus innings during Wednesday night's loss to the Braves.
The five earned runs all came in the first inning.
"He fell behind in counts," manager Terry Collins said after the game. "When you fall behind in counts in the big leagues, you're going to get in trouble."
Your dreams of getting past the concessions and actually stepping on the grass at Citi Field might just come true this season.

1) Robert Gsellman allowed five runs in the first inning, paving the way for the Mets' fifth straight loss and ninth in 10 games. Gsellman (0-2) was charged with six runs (five earned) on 10 hits and three walks while striking out two in four-plus innings.
2) The Mets made three errors in the first three innings, giving them 13 during their 1-9 stretch.
The Mets (8-11) open a shortened two-game series against the Braves (6-12) at Citi Field at 7:10 p.m. The Mets, who were off on Monday and were rained out on Tuesday, were swept in a three-game series by the Nationals over the weekend.

Mets LHP Steven Matz and RHP Seth Lugo have both thrown from 120 feet while rehabbing their respective injuries and are expected to soon begin mound work, manager Terry Collins said Wednesday.
Matz, who has been out since the end of Spring Training due to a left arm injury, began a throwing program last Wednesday.
He could theoretically return around the end of May, though an exact timetable has not been set, Mets GM Sandy Alderson said last week.
Wilmer Flores has been discharged from the hospital and is in Port St. Lucie where he will resume baseball activities at an undertermined date, MLB.com's Anthony DiComo reports.
Flores was placed on the 10-day disabled list on Friday with a left knee infection and reportedly spent the weekend in a New York hospital to receive treatment.
He is eligible to come off the disabled list prior to Sunday's game with the Nationals.
Flores is hitting .171 with two homers and three RBIs in 12 games this season.
The Mets have recalled Matt Reynolds from Triple-A Las Vegas and optioned Sean Gilmartin to Las Vegas. Reynolds will be in uniform for Wednesday's game against the Braves.
The 26-year-old was hitting .300 with four RBIs and 10 runs scored in 13 games with the 51s, starting games in left field, center and third base. Reynolds made his Major League debut last year with New York and hit .225/.266/.416 with three homers and 13 RBIs in 47 games.
Gilmartin made one appearance for the Mets, recording two outs without allowing a run. The southpaw has a 3.69 ERA in 65 Major League appearances.
The Mets have a rotation of young, fire-balling pitchers, led of course by Noah Syndergaard.
What makes the rotation so special is the fact that all of its members have great secondary pitches. However, the main focus is usually on their fastballs.
Here are the fastest pitches each member of the Mets rotation has thrown so far this season, courtesy of Statcast:

The old saying goes that you cannot win a pennant in April, but you certainly can lose it. So let's not fully dismiss the uphill battle the Mets have created by getting swept by the Nationals this past weekend, which has spotted Washington a five-game lead over them in the division.
However, let's also resist the easy temptation to declare the sky is falling because the Mets are in the midst of a 1-7 stretch that has dropped them three games under .500 entering Wednesday's game against the Braves at Citi Field...
Mets 1B prospect Dash Winningham's second season with the low-A Columbia Fireflies got off to a resounding start. An eighth-round pick in 2014 out of high school in Ocala, Fla., Winningham began this season with consecutive four-RBI games.
The 21-year-old Winningham currently is hitting .246 with one home run and 13 RBIs through 65 at-bats. The RBI total leads the Fireflies and ranks sixth in the South Atlantic League.

Terry Collins is not panicking and he still believes in his team, he told the NY Post's Kevin Kernan.
Kernan's article is more or less one long quote from the manager, who - among other talking points, cliches and wisdom - says...
Robert Gsellman (0-1, 5.09 ERA) will face Julio Teheran (1-1, 3.52 ERA) as the Mets begin a shortened series with the Braves tonight at Citi Field.
Yoenis Cespedes and Travis d'Arnaud were in Tuesday's lineup before the game was postponed by rain. The two players are expected to again be in the starting lineup tonight after missing the previous few games due to injury.
The Mets are not a 'train wreck,' Bob Klapisch, though you make several excellent points about why this season may be a constant struggle. Sandy Alderson's current roster still has World Series upside. The team's potential has not changed in the three weeks since leaving Spring Training.
"It's easy to push the panic button, it's easy to say, 'Oh, sh!t,' but we are too good for that," Jay Bruce said Sunday, according to the NY Post. "We are a legitimate World Series contender, I believe, and I wouldn't just say that. This is a team that is stacked. We just have to be healthy and play well."
I agree. That said, I fear Alderson and Collins are still making decisions like they did a few years when rebuilding, as opposed to reverse engineering every choice based on winning a Championship.
The first game of a three game series between the Mets and Braves at Citi Field has been rained out.
Tuesday night's game has been rescheduled for 4:10 p.m. on September 25 as part of a doubleheader.
Robert Gsellman, who the Mets had planned to skip, according to Marc Carig of Newsday, will make his scheduled start on Wednesday. Noah Syndergaard will start the series finale on Thursday.
Julio Teheran, who was scheduled to start on Tuesday for Atlanta, will start on Wednesday, according to Kevin McAlpin of 680 The Fan.
LF Yoenis Cespedes (hamstring) and C Travis d'Arnaud (wrist) are back in the Mets' lineup on Tuesday night.
However, Cespedes may be scratched from the lineup if the game is played in inclement weather, Terry Collins said.
Cespedes has not played since exiting last Thursday's game with the hamstring issue. He was on deck to pinch hit Sunday night when the Mets made the final out of the game against the Nationals.
Mets OF Yoenis Cespedes has turned to analytics to help improve his performance at the plate, Ken Rosenthal explains in an article for FoxSports.com.
The Mets have been able to show Cespedes the zones where he tends to chase pitches, resulting in him using that information to generate 11 walks in just 16 games.
"For him to be leading our team in walks is nothing short of a miracle," the team's hitting coach, Kevin, Long told Rosenthal, when asked how statistical analysis has benefited Cespedes.
The Mets begin a three-game series against the Braves on Tuesday at 7:10 p.m. at Citi Field.
Robert Gsellman (0-1, 5.09 ERA) will face Julio Teheran (1-1, 3.52 ERA) in the opener.

Mets OF Michael Conforto had three hits Sunday, including a solo home run off Max Scherzer, during the team's 6-3 loss to the Nationals.
"Fastball out over the plate, that's kind of in my zone," Conforto said of the pitch from Scherzer. "I want to be able to elevate that ball and hit it the other way. I was ready for it, that's what I was looking for in that situation."
Conforto has started the last four games in the outfield, thanks in part to injuries to Yoenis Cespedes, Lucas Duda, and Wilmer Flores.
In that time, he's batting .467 with a two home runs, two RBI and a .529 OBP in 15 at-bats...
The Mets have lost eight of their last nine games, including four in a row, and are now three games below .500 for the first time in more than a year. They are off today, during which they can rest and replay images in their mind of being swept this past weekend by the Nationals.
Have fun, guys...
As for me, I'm trapped between being frustrated and knowing there are still 143 games left to play this season. It may feel like it's ending, but we still need to cross off Memorial Day, multiple west coast trips, three series in DC, the All-Star break, trade deadline, the dog days of summer and Labor Day before getting a chance to play meaningful games in September for the third straight season.
He has not played since exiting Thursday's game with a hamstring issue. He was on deck to pinch hit Sunday night, but did not get in to the game. Terry Collins said he's hopeful Cespedes will return to the lineup on Tuesday. If he again doesn't play, the Mets will have the option of back-dating a potential 10-day stint on the disabled list.
The Mets are off on Monday and begin a three-game series against the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday at 7:10 p.m. at Citi Field.
Robert Gsellman (0-1, 5.09 ERA) will face Julio Teheran (1-1, 3.52 ERA) in the opener.
For a full box score of the game, click here.
1) Daniel Murphy's first-inning grand slam and Ryan Zimmerman's two-run shot in the eighth extended the Mets' losing streak to four games for the second time in nine days.
2) After allowing the first three batters to reach and the slam to Murphy, Zack Wheeler surrendered one hit and two walks with four strikeouts over his final six innings. He worked a season-high seven frames and was charged with four runs on four hits and two walks while fanning six.
3) Michael Conforto went 3-for-4 and hit his second leadoff homer of the series. Neil Walker slugged a two-run shot to cut the Nats' lead to 4-3 in the third.
The Mets (8-10) will try to salvage the final game of a three-game series with the Washington Nationals (12-5) on Sunday at Citi Field at 8:08 p.m.
The Mets have lost three straight games and seven of their last eight. ... They are now 10-26 in their last 36 home games. With losses to the Nationals on Friday and Saturday, the Mets have now dropped six of their last eight series against Washington.
An injury-plagued Mets offense continued to struggle in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Nationals, stringing together just two hits on the day.
The Mets were held hitless until Juan Lagares' single in the sixth inning, which set up Asdrubal Cabrera's RBI single to put the Mets on the board. Cabrera's hit was the second and final one of the game for the Mets, who have dropped three straight and seven of their last eight after a five-game winning streak.
The Mets have only been able to score more than four runs one time in their last eight games, during which several players have been sidelined.
The Mets played without Yoenis Cespedes, Wilmer Flores, Lucas Duda, and for the most part, Travis d'Arnaud. Cespedes missed a second straight game after departing Thursday's game with a hamstring injury, while Flores and Duda were both placed on the disabled list. D'Arnaud, dealing with a sore wrist, was not in the lineup on Saturday but pinch hit in the ninth.
Jacob deGrom had ten strikeouts for a second straight outing, but walked a season-high six batters and earned his first loss of the season on Saturday as the Mets dropped the second game of a three-game series with the Nationals.
DeGrom gave up three runs on eight hits in five and 2/3 innings behind little run support from the Mets offense, which generated only two hits on the day.
For a full box score of the game, click here.
1) The Mets did not collect a hit until Juan Lagares singled in the sixth inning. Asdrubal Cabrera's RBI single two batters later was their last hit of the game.
2) Jacob deGrom had the strikeout pitch working, fanning 10 in 5 2/3 innings, but he also walked a career-high six and allowed three runs on eight hits.
The Mets (8-9) play the middle game of a three-game series against the Nationals (11-5) at Citi Field on Saturday at 4:05 p.m. Jeurys Familia walked in the winning run in the 11th Friday as the Nationals beat the Mets, 4-3
The Mets have lost six of seven games and are 4-6 at home this season. ... In seven of New York's last eight games, the winning run has scored in either their last at-bat or their opponents' last at-bat, including a six-game stretch from April 13-19, that was the longest such streak in the majors since Oakland had a six-game streak from May 28-June 3, 2004.

Caffeine is a naturally occurring substance that is derived from plants. It can be found in the beans, leaves, and fruit of more than 60 types of plants, including the coffee plant, tea bush, kola nut, and guarana berries. Most commonly used as a food and drink ingredient, caffeine can be found in coffee, tea, chocolate, sodas, and even some prescription and nonprescription drugs, such as cold and allergy medications.
Caffeine is a mild stimulant. When ingested, then, it temporarily stimulates the central nervous system. The effects of caffeine can be felt as soon as 15 minutes after ingesting it, and the temporary effects can last as long as six hours. The effects of caffeine vary from person to person;however, this stimulant has the potential to increase an individual's heart rate, body temperature, blood flow, blood pressure, and blood sugar levels. In moderate quantities, defined as 250 to 300 mg a day, or about three cups of coffee, caffeine typically does not produce any negative effects. Individuals can enjoy the stimulant benefits of coffee, giving them increased alertness, without negative physical symptoms.
When caffeine is ingested in large quantities, however, it can produce negative side effects. Generally, more than 1000 mg, which equals 10 six-ounce cups of coffee, of caffeine would need to be consumed for most individuals to experience negative side effects. An excessive amount of caffeine can lead to sleep deprivation, as the body is unable to recognize when it is tired and needs rest. Individuals who do not react well to caffeine or who consume too much can experience dizziness, nausea, thirst, anxiety, insomnia, appetite changes, dry mouth, or blurred vision. Some caffeine users can even experience heart palpitations after excessive caffeine use.
Caffeine's use extends beyond the food and beverage industry, however. The beauty and skin care industry includes caffeine as an ingredient in a range of products. In skin care products, caffeine is used primarily as a skin conditioning agent, offering a range of benefits. In many ways, caffeine has similar effects on the skin as it does on the body when it is ingested. With antioxidant properties, caffeine can help to neutralize free radicals, which are unstable compounds that can attack and damage skin cells. Eliminating free radicals and preventing future damage make caffeine an effective ingredient in promoting healthy skin. At the same time, caffeine-based skin care products can improve the appearance of dry or damaged skin, creating more supple, healthier skin.
In addition, some research indicates that caffeine-based skin creams can help reduce the appearance of cellulite by dehydrating fat cells and creating smoother skin. Changes are temporary and will discontinue when the product is no longer used, but caffeine-based creams can help fight dimpled skin.
In eye creams, caffeine can reduce puffiness and redness and help eliminate dark circles and shadows under the eyes. Caffeine is a diuretic, and this quality helps it drain excess fluid from under the eyes, which can contribute to dark circles in many cases. It is also a vasoconstrictor, meaning that it narrows, or constricts, the blood vessels using small muscles in their walls. Its qualities as a vasoconstrictor make caffeine effective at eliminating redness from the skin, including around the eyes. In addition, some rosacea sufferers credit caffeine-based products with reducing the skin redness that plagues them.
Body scrubs and body washes also use caffeine, typically in the form of coffee. The caffeine in these products, in conjunction with other ingredients, detoxifies skin, leaving it smooth and healthy. Caffeine-based body washes can refresh and revitalize skin for the day ahead. Caffeine-based cleansers are used daily or weekly to rejuvenate skin.
The Food and Drug Administration has approved caffeine as a Generally Recognized as Safe food substance as well as an active ingredient in over-the-counter stimulant drugs. Because of its FDA approval, the Cosmetic Ingredient Review Expert Panel deferred evaluation of caffeine, deeming it as safe to use in beauty and skin care products. The Cosmetics Directive of the European Union permits the use of caffeine in beauty and skin care products in Europe.
The positive effects of caffeine as a beauty and skin care ingredient continue to be researched. However, several studies have pointed to the range of benefits that come from plant-based caffeine as an ingredient.

I found a dealer who has a vintage shuttle for $150. It is "in the box" but the box is opened and has some water damage. Box colors are vibrant however. It includes the original instructions and the decal sheet--but the decals are already applied. None of the ancillary packing cardboard or plastic is included.
The shuttle itself appears to be in GREAT condition. No yellowing that I saw, clear, clean windshield, etc. etc.
Somebody offered me a loose, yellowed Shuttle about a year ago for $75. This one is in much better condition.
Here's the thing... Im not going to keep the box. I open all my toys. Is this a good price for what is, in essence, a loose shuttle? Also, is there any market out there for just the box--say on eBay?
Im inclined to go ahead and buy this baby--like many it remains the holy grail of my collection.
I just wanted to solicit some feedback on whether other collectors thought this was a good price. As far as I could tell, prices on eBay are all over the place.
Thanks in advance.
Peace out.

Waunakee football goes for historic win
Warriors back in Division 2 state title game
WAUNAKEE - The Waunakee Warriors football team has a date with history Friday at Camp Randall.
Waunakee plays Homestead in the Division 2 state championship game at 1 pm Friday and if the Warriors win, they'll set a state record with their 49th straight win.
Manitowoc shares the current mark with Waunakee at 48 and a victory Friday would set the mark and give the Warriors a 4th straight state title.
The winning streak has created a lot of pride at the high school and the community.
This year's team is trying to put its own stamp on the football tradition.
Senior lineman Jacob Ohnesorge says "All the other guys, the past players, it's great that they've had the winning streak but a lot of us-- actually none of us were starting or even on varsity when the winning streak started so I mean it's a cool thing but we're just trying to make our own statement this year."
Quarterback Will Decorah was instilled in the tradition early. "Seeing the guys run out at Warrior Stadium when we were kids , those guys were kind of our heroes and I just remember growing up and not being able to wait til I got to have that opportunity to wear that jersey"
Head coach Pat Rice adds, "We all feel a part of it from our 4th grade youth stuff all the way through our high school program . It's a special group and to hear those guys say that, makes me happy because they've gotten the message."

Stretching the boundaries of tragedy and comedy
Posted November 15, 2007; 12:00 p.m.
Princeton's Program in Theater and Dance will present "The Winter's Tale," William Shakespeare's story about jealousy and redemption, at 8 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, Nov. 15-17, in the McCarter Theatre Center's Berlind Theatre.
Shakespeare, in the final stage of his theatrical career, stretches the boundaries of both tragedy and comedy to create a play unique in its form and lacerating in its exploration of the havoc that the sprites and goblins of a jealous imagination can wreak.
Directed by faculty member Tracy Bersley, a New York-based director and choreographer, this re-imagining of Shakespeare's play takes place in the memory of its leading character -- an attic library of regret and recrimination designed by Jeffrey Van Velsor, a longtime collaborator of Bersley's.
"The Winter's Tale" features an undergraduate cast including Kut Akdogan, Paul Bangiola, Sara-Ashley Bischoff, Will Ellerbe, Becca Foresman, Jess Harrop, Irfan Kherani, Heather May, Georgina Sherrington, Mary Cait Walthall, Sam Zetumer and Adam Zivkovic.
The cast also includes Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Paul Muldoon, chair of University's Lewis Center for the Arts, and his son, Asher Muldoon. The Program in Theater and Dance is a division of the center.
Tickets range from $10 to $15, and may be ordered by calling the McCarter Theatre Center at (609) 258-2787. "The Winter's Tale" has been made possible by a grant from the David A. Gardner '69 Magic Project, with additional funding from the Kirby Family Foundation.

At least 3 feet long (probably 4 - the Royal Starship was 3 feet long and will not accomodate Jabba!)
And no, we won't let Hasbro off the hook with a SW Transformer or Action Fleet style ship. I hope this is a serious effort for 2013, the 30th Anniversary of ROTJ.
Large Vehicles to date:
TPM - Royal Starship, MTT (needs a Republic Cruiser like Radiant VII)
AOTC - AT-TE, Slave One, Republic Gunship (could use Republic Acclamator Class destroyer)
ROTS - Turbo Tank, maybe you could count the ARC-170 (could use venerator class destroyer, Sep. crusr)
ANH - Millennium Falcon, (could use blockade Runner, large sandcrawler with BADs, star destroyer)
ESB - AT-AT, AT-ST, Slave One repaint coming, (could use the medical frigate)
ROTJ - Imperial shuttle, AT-ST (could use the sail barge and Home One)
I wonder if the $250 price tag for the TRU Falcon is Hasbro testing the waters for the Sail Barge. I understand that retailers set prices, not Hasbro, but you can't help but think that Hasbro is going to be paying really close attention.
I'd have no problem paying $250 for a Sail Barge as long as it's gigantic.
"Coming Soon" is a tremendously underrated Queen song.
I notice it says "Fan Site Petition." Honestly, why do they need a petition? I'm not trying to be snarky here; if they've been paying attention to almost everything that almost everyone has said for over a decade, they know we want it. Heck, I'm hard-pressed to find figures I want anymore, and have practically no room, and I'd be hitting stores first thing every morning to get a Sail Barge.
Oh it's to get attention.
For a lot of different parties, hoping to benefit in different ways.
Might as well continue to be hated for seeing through every little thing. But I'm smart. I'm cynical. And Jesus was hated too, so I'm in great company.
Anyway, maybe I'll be a little less hated if I make this post politically correct. However, I didn't want anyone to think that I didn't understand what is going on.
So I'll address this from Hasbro's POV, as gently as I can.
The market is shrinking and they are losing a huge adult fan-following that supported their business whose enthusiasm originates from nostalgia.
That being said, Us "SW Generation One's" never had a sailbarge when we were kids. We *might* have the disposable incomes, or risk making a mortgage payment, losing a spouse in a divorce, or stay at home for many Saturday nights eating boxed noodles just to get our hands on this monument to fulfillment of our childhoods.
And with that, Hasbro gives us the Sailbarge because it is the one thing that will surely bring us back and into the game - or even bring out new Gen1's who decide to "only collect ROTJ Jabba stuff for the man-cave."
Anyway, they listened to us, and they pull out the last desperate measures, now at "the end." Meanwhile, they'll hook kids on a new beginning, because besides that game they play with the marbles or whatever (and the tiny, tiny little fgurines), Hasbro works with Lucasfilm and can influence the Sailbarge getting back into the Clone Wars 'toon. Maybe Savage and Darth Maul attack it or something? (tune in next week to learn of the next great marketing plan).
However, I think I speak for everyone, that this will work! I'm sold. And I'll come up with $250 or $300 and skip a bill here or there, or a concert or show I would have normally gone to. I want that Sailbarge.

Happy Sorceress' [1] monthly Blog Party series was one of the first food events that I took part in and I have always marvelled at how she continues to come up with creative and interesting theme. That's why it made perfect sense for me to choose the 40th hosting of her virtual cocktail party as my official re-entry into the world of online food events. This time around the theme is, most fittingly holidays.
From Dispensing Happiness [2]:
With the start of yet another hectic holiday season upon us, we're going to make a promise to ourselves: we WILL set aside that one day to pamper & treat ourselves, to enjoy the company of friends, listen to great music and of course…enjoy all those wonderful holiday appetzers and drinks!
With that in mind I decided to go for sweet over savory this time around. Gingerbread fruit and nut 'cookies' are colorful, festive, and not-too sweet. Perfect for any gathering from formal to informal. Because the gingerbread recipe is not particularly sweet, it becomes extremely important to use good quality chocolate, and not to omit the nuts and fruit. They add much needed texture and flavour. If you are allergic to nuts, feel free to substitute chopped dried fruit. If you are not a fan of maraschino cherries, do still give it a try. I had initially wanted to omit them, but I am so glad I didn't. Again, the cloying sweetness is extremely tempered by the spiciness of the gingerbread and the depth of the chocolate.
To wash everything down I paired it with a cool refreshing Iced Lemon Ginger Tea [3], perfect for a balmy tropical evening. You can look out for that recipe tomorrow. Until then, enjoy the party!
Chocolate Fruit and Nut Cookies
Source: Edible Gifts (Cook's Essentials) [4]

8 ounces plain chocolate
1/4 cup caster sugar
1/3 ccup water

2. Beat in the egg and treacle
3. Sift hte flour, ginger, cloves and chili powder into the bowl
4. Using a wooden spoon, gradually mix the ingredients together to make a stiff paste (if at this point you find the dough too dry and crumbly add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of water)

13. Put the sugar in a small, heavy-based saucepan with the water.
14. Heat gently until the sugar dissolves
15. Bring to the boil and boil for 1 minute, until slightly syrupy
16. Leave for 3 minutes to cool slightly
17. Stir in the chocolate until it has melted and made a smooth sauce
18. Place the wire rack of biscuits over a large tray or board to catch the drips
19. Spoon a little of the melted chocolate mixture over the gingerbread biscuits, spreading it to the edges with the back of the spoon

Wave 5: Dork Revan and Dork Malak from Dorks of the Awful Retardant video game series (DOTAR).
BAD Pts Need: R5-C7 lf leg (x2), , R4-P44 right leg BAD Pts Offered For Trade: PM me - I have lots of parts now including BG-J38!. New Kyle Katarn is also available.
Los Feliz TRU had the Arena Encounter BPs today. It's pretty big, and so was the price. A ridiculous $60 for rehashes (nothing new).
Just opened my wave 5 case: this is an awesome assortment, even with an unnecessary extra stormtrooper. Two Yoda on Kybucks and Concept Vader, plus the rest- kickarse! If this wave doesn't have something for everyone, then you should stop collecting now. A+ Hasbro!
Obviously you never played that video game series Tycho! The cut scenes in that game are better than the Transformers movie!
My wave 5 case arrived from New Force Comics as well...so far I've opened up Roron, Revan and Starkiller. the latter taking the early lead as my favorite from this wave.
I'm with ya. That Starkiller figure is freakin' great.
[FONT=Arial Narrow]
I've opened up everything except C3PO (not really sure if i want to keep it) and had so much fun doing it! SW figs haven't been this much fun in a long time! .
Hermi Odle and Pre Cyborg Grievous are pretty awesome
I'll definitely pick up another Roron to make a more animated looking custom as well as another Starkiller. She along with Dark Woman are some of the best female figures that Hasbro has ever made, I think.
went to lone hill target tonight after i went to the la county fair absolutely nothing for SW and TF
Hey CrunchyNug,
Thanks for the Red AOTC Clone- and don't forget to stash the new "Cars"- you seem to have good luck finding them.

Follow Coach Phelps on Twitter
Mark Phelps enters his fifth season as head coach of the Bulldogs' men's basketball program in 2012-13, driven by a passion and commitment to elevate Drake to levels of consistent excellence on and off the court. His dedicated approach to recruiting and program-building over his first four seasons has established a solid foundation to achieve sustainable success.
The 2011-12 season showed significant signs of both the steady progress and potential of the Drake program, as the Bulldogs qualified for a postseason tournament for the third time in the last five seasons (2008 NCAA, 2009 CIT), and second in Phelps' four-year tenure as head coach. The first-round Collegeinsider.com Postseason Tournament win over North Dakota was Drake's first victory beyond the conference tournament since 1975. The Bulldogs won 18 games, most in Phelps' career and tied for ninth-most in school history.
In addition, Drake posted a winning record for the second time in Phelps' four years, making him the first Drake head coach in 50 years to post two winning seasons in his first four (17-16 in 2008-09). Drake's third-place finish (9-9, tied with four teams) in the Missouri Valley Conference was its second-highest in the MVC standings in the last 26 years. The 9-9 MVC record of 2011-12 was the best by Phelps and tied for second-best by a Drake team since 1986.
With 62 wins in his first four seasons, Phelps has more victories than any Drake coach in his initial four years on the job. No Drake head coach since Maury John (.555 from 1958-62) has had a better winning percentage in the equivalent span of his career than Phelps (.473).
All of that success last season was achieved without starting center Seth VanDeest, a cornerstone junior-to-be who missed the entire season after undergoing surgery to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder. The 2011-12 Bulldogs overcame significant injury adversity that impacted the starting lineup, but were guided through the storm by a coaching staff that remained steady and consistent, helping players elevate to a new level of performance.
One of those players was 6'-8" junior co-captain Ben Simons, who played every position on the floor and more than doubled his sophomore scoring average of 8.1 to a figure of 16.4, fourth-best in the MVC in 2011-12. Simons was joined by fellow junior co-captain Jordan Clarke, who put up career-best averages of 6.0 points and 7.0 rebounds, while handling the post position at 6'-8" in VanDeest's absence.
Simons was named captain of the MVC's Most Improved Team, while also earning second-team All-MVC and second-team NABC All-District recognition along with sophomore Rayvonte Rice. Clarke was named second-team MVC Scholar-Athlete.
In the fifth year of building his program, Phelps and his coaching staff will welcome eight scholarship newcomers in 2012-13, including five freshmen and three transfers, wrapped around an experienced nucleus of five returning players who have been regular starters for the Bulldogs.
The collective talent level of the eight incoming players demonstrates the tremendous recruiting acumen of Phelps and his staff, building on previous recruiting success that has gained notice across the country. His incoming recruiting classes in 2009-10 and '10-'11 were ranked at the top of the Missouri Valley Conference. Drake's '09-'10 class was No. 1 in the MVC according to Van Coleman's Hoopmasters.com, while Scouts Inc., in conjunction with ESPN.com, rated Drake's signees for the 2010-11 class the best in the MVC, as well.
The 2011-12 Bulldogs ranked among the Valley's best teams in several statistical categories, including No. 1 in three-point field-goal pct. defense (.305) and No. 3 in steals (6.9). Drake was 16-2 when shooting a higher percentage than its opponent and 9-0 when shooting 50 percent or higher. The Bulldogs did not allow an opponent to shoot higher than 50 percent from the field for an 18-game stretch before Rice shot 53.1% in the season-ending CIT Tournament loss. Opponents in that stretch shot a combined 41.2 percent (408-991), including a figure of 39.6 percent over the last nine games (199-of-503) of the season. In addition, those nine opponents combined to shoot 49-of-217 (.226) from three-point range. Drake finished the 2011-12 season with 213 three-pointers, fifth-most in a season in school history, exceeding the 203 of 2010-11. Five of the top six seasons for three-pointers made in school history have come in the last five years, four of them under Phelps (2nd, 3rd, 5th, 6th).
While building the program, Phelps experienced success in his first three seasons that already positioned him among the top coaches in school history. His 44 victories in that span were the most wins accumulated by a Bulldogs coach in his first three seasons at the helm.
In 2010-11 Phelps' Bulldogs stood out on the defensive end, leading the MVC in three-point shooting defense (.321) and ranking third in steals (5.8). The latter figure contributed to a +1.3 turnover margin. Offensive, Drake ranked third in the Valley in three-point shooting percentage (.362).
Drake in 2009-10 was the only school in the MVC to rank in the top 12 nationally in three different NCAA team statistics. The Bulldogs ranked No. 4 in turnovers per game (10.1 avg.), 10th in free throw percentage (.757) and 11th in three-point field goals per game (8.6 avg.). Drake also posted an all-time school-record low turnover total (332) during the 2009-10 season.
The Bulldogs made 284 three-point baskets in 2009-10, the second highest total in school history. Drake's .757 free throw percentage in the same year ranked third on the school's all-time single-season list.
In his first year as head coach at Drake, Phelps led the Bulldogs to a 17-16 record in 2008-09 and their second consecutive post-season tournament (CollegInsider.com Postseason Tournament), marking the first time the Drake basketball program had advanced to post-season play in two consecutive seasons since 1970-71.
Under Phelps, Drake has traditionally played a strong schedule; over the past four seasons the Bulldogs have played 66 games against teams that advanced to postseason play, including 21 last year.
Phelps was named the 25th men's head basketball coach at Drake on April 21, 2008 after serving as associate head coach at Arizona State from 2006-08.
"Mark's extensive experience as an assistant in the Pac-10 and the ACC, coupled with his commitment to the holistic development of young men, made him the ideal candidate to continue the established success of the Drake Bulldogs," said Drake Athletics Director Sandy Hatfield Clubb, upon his hire. "Mark was touted as one of the top assistant coaches in college basketball. His character and his demonstrated passion for the game are just two of the many outstanding qualities that attracted us to him. Coach Mark Phelps is a perfect fit for Drake University."
"I consider it an honor and privilege to be the head coach at Drake University," said Phelps. "President Maxwell (Drake's David) has fostered a true family environment where the 'Drake experience' is a special one for students, faculty, staff and the entire Drake community. I have tremendous respect and great appreciation for Sandy Hatfield Clubb and look forward to working together with her and the entire athletic department to continue the pursuit of excellence for Drake basketball. I could not be more excited about this opportunity."
Phelps, 46, has been a basketball coach for 23 seasons, including 16 years on the collegiate level after a highly successful high school coaching career. The Virginia Beach, Va., native had served on the coaching staff at North Carolina State under head coach Herb Sendek from 1996-2006 before joining Sendek at Arizona State in 2006.
"I am grateful for the 12 years Coach Mark Phelps invested on our staff at both N.C. State and Arizona State and most certainly recognize the wonderful impact he made," said Sendek, upon Phelps' hire at Drake. "I congratulate Mark, as he will be the consummate CEO for the Drake men's basketball program. He will represent the university as a perfect gentleman and at the same time lead the basketball program with a true competitive spirit."
Phelps was part of Sendek's staff that led North Carolina State to a 53-39 (.576) record in the Atlantic Coast Conference regular season and tournament play in the final five seasons in Raleigh, N.C. The Wolfpack tied for the second most wins in the ACC from 2001 to 2006, and was one of only two ACC programs (Duke) to advance to the NCAA Tournament each of those five seasons.
Phelps joined the North Carolina State staff in 1996, serving as director of basketball operations for four years before being promoted to assistant coach in 2000. In 2005 he was named recruiting coordinator and director of scouting with the Wolfpack while continuing as an assistant coach.
Prior to joining the college ranks, Phelps, a 1996 Old Dominion University graduate, was very familiar with outstanding basketball programs having had a highly successful tenure as a high school head coach. Phelps coached his way to a 148-53 (.736 winning percentage) overall record during his six years directing a pair of Virginia independent high school teams.
Phelps spent two seasons (1994-96) at Atlantic Shores Christian High School in Chesapeake, Va., where his teams compiled a 44-12 record. His 1996 squad finished 20-3 and set school marks for winning percentage (.870) and fewest losses.
Prior to his tenure at Atlantic Shores, Phelps coached four years (1990-94) at Rock Church Academy and posted a 104-41 record. He was twice named Metro Conference Coach of the Year as the Eagles won three straight conference championships.
Each of Phelps' last five prep teams (3 at Rock, 2 at Atlantic Shores) advanced to the Virginia Independent School State Tournament. Four times he coached teams to the quarterfinals of the state tournament and twice to the state semifinals. He also served as athletics director at both high schools. Phelps began his coaching career as Rock Church Academy's junior varsity coach during the 1989-90 season.
Phelps in 2010-11 took part in the "Shots From the Heart" campaign, a free-throw shooting competition organized by the American Heart Association and CollegeInsider.com to generate awareness of the growing problem of heart disease. Competing against other head coaches in a 64-man bracket, Phelps advanced to the Elite Eight, where his 24-for-25 effort was topped by the perfect 25-for-25 of Arizona's Sean Miller.
Mark and his wife, Alissa, have a son Owen (3) and a daughter Laney (2).

By Fort Worth Star Telegram
"The state will proceed." On three occasions in 2000, while he was the president pro tempore of the Senate and was called on to serve as the acting governor, state Sen. Rodney Ellis uttered those four words that gave the go-ahead for a man to be executed.
The Houston Democrat says he had some anxious moments on receiving the calls from Huntsville, where prison officials waited to carry out scheduled executions.
Although a proponent of the death penalty, Ellis is a champion of criminal justice reform. He has a record of introducing legislation to improve the system, including a law that would exempt the mentally ill from capital punishment and several bills designed to lessen the chance of an innocent person being convicted.
Last week, with the endorsement of the state Attorney General Greg Abbott, a Republican, Ellis described SB 1292, a bill he has introduced that would require DNA testing of all biological evidence in death penalty cases before trial.
For a state that has executed more people than any other – 493 since 1976 – it is imperative that we are as certain as humanly possible that the person being put to death is the one who committed the crime.
Ellis noted that 303 people in the United States have been exonerated by post-conviction DNA testing, 18 of whom served time on Death Row. Therein lies a shortcoming of Ellis' bill.
Most of the cases cleared by DNA, many of them sexual assaults, were not death penalty cases, which means there may be many others wrongly accused whom the proposed legislation would not help. That is why it is imperative that law enforcement, prosecutors and defense attorneys make full use of the science that might positively identify a suspect, or eliminate him or her.

I have one gun for everything: turkey, deer, pheasant, etc.
But out of everything I hunt turkey is by far my favorite. I would like a new turkey gun, camo, 12 gauge, semi-atuo. But thats all the farther I got I've only hunted for a year. I know there are a lot of great guns out there its just a matter of finding a good one within my price range.

Reviews of this property
Hey, stayed two nights in Floras appartment and I was sad to leave. It is really beautifull and very central.
its quiet and clean and we felt absolutlly comfortable.
Flora and her husband were so friendly and the contact was very easy. We will return...
In September 2011 we were in Budapest and we spend a week in Floras flat. It was great.
Flora greeted us very nice and friendly. The location of the flat is fantastic - town center, about 2-3 minutes walkway to the Danube, furthermore it was very guiet and peaceful. The balcony was facing the garden were big old trees are standing.
Flora and her friend tried hard to help with everything (even finding a good parking area what is really difficult in Budapest).
Summary: If we will ever travel again to Budapest - with much pleasure to Flora.
Joanna & Bogdan
Flora est une hôte très agréable , j 'ai passé bon séjour , je recommande ce petit studio confortable .
Die Wohnung ist in einer schönen zentrumsnahen Wohngegend gelegen. Balkon und Fenster gehen auf einen grünen Hof. Durch den Baum auf dem Hinterhof ist die Wohnung nicht sehr hell, aber dafür sehr ruhig, da kein Straßenlärm. Insgesamt geben die vermutlich aufgehellten Fotos nicht den wirklichen Eindruck der Wohnung wieder, die einen leicht muchtigen Eindruck macht. Das Sofa ist abgewohnt und die Handtücher waren grau und alt. Das Bett war frisch bezogen, aber die dritte Betwäsche für unsere Tochter bereits benutzt. Insgesamt macht die Wohnung einen etwas ungepflegten und etwas verschmutzten Eindruck. 40 EUR pro Nacht wären akzeptabel für die gebotene Qualität, nicht aber 60 EUR. Unsere Vermieterin war sehr nett, sprach gut Englisch und vermittelte und freundlichereweise ein Taxi zum Flughafen, was sehr gut geklappt hat.

Secretary of Transportation, Ray LaHood, recently sent Senator Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) a letter to discourage her from offering an amendment to prohibit the use of federal funds in FY2012 to 'implement, finalize, or enforce' the proposed Hours of Service (HOS) rule. The Secretary argued that the amendment would prevent the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) from applying up-to-date data to safety issues regarding allowable hours of service and driver fatigue. The American Trucking Association countered with a letter to Sec. Lahood stating that there is little, if any, up-to-date data or science supporting FMCSA's HOS proposal. However, when the FMCSA also weighed-in expressing their concern with the amendment, the combined message to the Hill was sufficient to discourage Sen. Ayotte from formally offering her amendment.
In another development, HOS petitioners have agreed to an extension for publishing the much awaited HOS final rule. As previously reported, FMCSA issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in 2010 proposing to amend the HOS requirements for commercial motor vehicle drivers pursuant to a negotiated court settlement with HOS petitioners. The settlement required FMCSA to publish a final rule by July 26, 2011. Though no subsequent date has been set, FMCSA stated they are working toward publishing a final rule as quickly as possible.
NPGA will be pursuing our request to FMCSA to exempt short haul drivers from HOS requirements currently specified in 49 CFR Part 395 , which NPGA contends are otherwise unduly burdensome. NPGA also continues to participate in an industry coalition opposing any proposed changes to the current HOS requirements. For more information contact Bob Elliott.

Here are some things going on this morning in your world of tech:
Shares of fiber optic equipment vendor Ciena (CIEN) are up $2.03, or 12.5%, at $18.34, in early trading after the company this morning reported fiscal Q2 revenue of $507.7 million, beating analysts' expectation for $484 million, and a surprise 2-cent net profit per share versus the expected 1-cent loss.
For the current quarter, the company forecasts $515 million to $545 million in revenue, well above the consensus $509 million.
CEO Gary Smith remarked the company was benefitting from "changing end user demands" and the company's software intelligence.
The report is bolstering fiber optic names in the pre-market, with JDS Uniphase (JDSU) rising 57 cents, or 4%, to $13.70, and Finisar (FNSR) up 75 cents, or 5.8%, at $13.64.
Shares of 3-D printing purveyors The ExOne Company (XONE) are up $1.69, or almost 4%, at $44.60, after Canaccord Genuity's Bobby Burleson started coverage of the company with a Buy rating and a $55 price target, writing that the stock may benefit from the company's roll-out of new materials, including titanium, and that "Long term, we believe growth will be driven by increased adoption of XONE's machines by industrial customers moving from low-unit-volume evaluation phase to higher-unit-volume production, as well as growth for the company's production service centers (PSCs)."
Analysts are debating the prospects for Intel (INTC) in tablets after the company said on Tuesday that Samsung Electronics (005930KS) will use its "Clover Trail+" processor in the next "Galaxy Tab" 10.1-inch tablet.
Lazard Capital's Daniel Amir reiterates a Buy on Intel, writing that "We view the company's recent design wins within Samsung Tab 3 and Asus tablets as validation of Intel silicon in tablets and believe this is an important milestone for the company in its efforts to gain traction in mobile." But Sterne Agee's Vijay Rakesh, reiterating a Neutral rating on the shares, writs that "if during the holiday season, an OEM or a consumer has to choose between buying a Silvermont Win8.1 Tablet (~$40 INTC content) and a Haswell 8.1 NB (~$110 content), assuming some cannibalization, the net processor revenue impact for Intel is negative."
Apple (AAPL) shares are up 79 cents, or $445.90, after Cowen & Co.'s Matthew Hoffman wrote this morning that sales of smartphones appear to be improving, and that "F3Q13 iPhone unit shipment consensus of less than 30MM may prove too low if Apple continues to hold share in NAM and EUR and the C2Q13 global smartphone market grows in-line with our +4% q/q estimate."
Shares of Verizon Communications (VZ) are down 10 cents at $48.15 in early trading following a report by Glenn Greenwald of the U.K.'s Guardian newspaper stating the telco has helped the U.S. National Security Agency collect phone records for millions of customers following a secret court order issued in April, with Greenwald having reviewed a copy of the order, he writes.
The records have been collected "indiscriminately and in bulk, regardless of whether they are suspected of any wrongdoing."

J.P. Morgan's Rod Hall today cut his rating on shares of Cisco Systems (CSCO) to Underweight from Neutral, and cut his price target to $17 from $21, writing that the company is caught between a rock and a hard place given trends in emerging markets and the rise of "software-defined networking."
Shares of Cisco are down 28 cents, or 1.2%, at $21.92..
Software-defined-networking, or "SDN," as it's known in the industry, could replace traditional network routers and switches with much cheaper equipment combined with third-party operating system software, a phenomenon that could force Cisco to cut prices, thus threatening profit, writes Hall:
We have taken our SDN analysis of Cisco another step forward by updating our forward market sizing scenario framework published in our "2014 Networking Outlook" and linking that back to Cisco EPS outcomes. This then allows us to think about Cisco's real earnings power in an SDN affected world as well as to objectively consider a fair valuation for the company. We consider EPS impacts for Cisco against both our current 2014 earnings model and a possible 2017 model. We also consider two main scenarios which both involve 85% data center conversion to "bare metal" hardware. In the worse of these two we add the assumption that 30% of campus switching also moves to bare metal. Across all of these methods calendar year EPS ranges from $1.41 to $1.82 in 2014 and from $1.66 to $1.90 in 2017. Our central case scenario outputs EPS of $1.67 near the bottom of this range. While our range is relatively wide we would point out that it implies negative EPS growth over the next few years for Cisco. More optimistic scenarios are certainly possible but even then earnings growth is challenged unless one assumes that "bare metal" hardware fails to take off. We believe this is unlikely.
Contrary to arguments made by Cisco during its analyst day presentation back in December, Hall believes that such "bare metal" networking equipment has a clear pricing advantage, coming in as much as 52% cheaper than Cisco's gear in some cases:
Bare metal clearly trumps Cisco on price. Using an Apples-to-Apples comparison it becomes relatively obvious that current bare metal solutions price much less expensively than Cisco solutions. However, one of the insights we come away with is that Cisco's services fees and licenses significantly inflate their pricing. Over time we would expect these fees to come under the most pressure as Cisco is forced to compete with lower cost solutions that offer, in many ways, superior operational efficiency. With this analysis two points become pretty clear to us. First, Cisco solutions priced as they have been historically are significantly more expensive than bare metal even when we eliminate Cisco Smartnet. We note that elimination of L3 license fees would bring our 3132Q based solution down to just $1,326/server, which makes bare metal just 45% less expensive. However, we doubt that Cisco is going to be waiving L3 license fees anytime soon though discounts could increase. Second, a large chunk of Cisco's price premium is related to Smartnet which could easily be reduced. In fact, we expect Cisco to waive Smartnet fees for large enterprise customers as a way to maintain share at those customers. However, our analysis shows that, even without this fee, the price difference is material.
Hall takes on Cisco's analyst day defense directly, saying there is "a lot wrong" with the company's claim its wares can actually be cheaper than the bare-metal, or "white box" switches. He references a slide shown by Cisco at analyst day by Cisco CEO John Chambers, writing:
Some readers may at this point be scratching their heads trying make sense of our conclusions in light of Cisco's messaging around pricing. We are mainly going to reference the chart on the right hand of the slide shown in Figure 3 below. Cisco here compares, as far as we can tell, an extreme outlier price for hardware ex both L3 and Smartnet licenses to an outlier hardware price for bare metal combined with a mainstream OS license fee. There is a lot wrong with this analysis in our opinion. First, we believe the $4,000 price shown above is Cisco's absolute rock bottom provided only to hyperscale web customers. Should this sort of price end up becoming the norm for Cisco then our negative earnings calculations will end up looking incredibly optimistic. Second, the price does not appear to include Smartnet or L3 license fees. We agree that Smartnet is likely to be tossed in with larger deals but don't expect that to be the case with L3 licenses. Finally, we believe that the $1,000/yr for the Whitebox OS is inaccurate in this scenario. All other prices being used here would apply to a very high density, high volume customer only. What this analysis fails to take account of is what we believe are standard license fee caps that a large customer like this would likely hit. We believe that the real license fee in that case could drop to something closer to $200/switch/year. We also want to address the so-called "VM Tax" shown in the left hand side of the slide above. While we believe this accurately reflects current pricing we note that the marginal cost to provide the software products in question is very low. Given this we would fully expect vendors to adjust pricing to market realities and do not see this "VM Tax" as a real impediment to the adoption of bare metal solutions.
This is the slide to which Hall was referring:
Recall that Chambers acknowledged the threat of white box networking gear as one of Cisco's biggest challenges during an interview I conducted with him back in September.

I'll admit that my college years weren't my healthiest — unless copious amounts of beer, whiskey, and cigarettes, combined with meager sleep, 3 am quesadillas, and unhealthy levels of academic and personal stress comprise a salubrious lifestyle of which I'm unaware. But this isn't a do-as-I-say-not-as-I-did screed, I promise, because these days, I try to treat my body a bit better — and honestly, I prefer the results.
Perhaps I'm getting closer to that elusive notion: achieving balance. I'm not a health nut by anyone's standards, but I do aim for moderation, looking for ways to pursue my interests, go out, and have fun, without adhering to monastic self-regulation. I've found that Portland is a particularly easy place to do so. The city lends itself to mental and physical health, as long as I'm willing to put in some of the effort. Plus, implementing healthy practices has a positive effect on the environment and, in some cases, on my wallet.
As lame as it sounds, I firmly believe that the foundation of health is adequate sleep, plain and simple. I hear the resounding chorus of easier said than done already. But even if you think it's impossible to carve out more time for naps and nighttime snoozing, there are ways to make the sleep you do get more effective, by exercising, eating well, and stressing less.
Aside from the abundant walking and biking trails in and around the city (check out PORTLAND TRAILS at www.trails.org for maps and even podcast guides to some local routes), and Portland's eminent walkability in general (find out how walkable your section of town is at www.walkscore.com— and keep that score in mind next time you fill up your gas tank), there are more conventional exercise options all over town.
If yoga's your thing, the choices seem endless: PORTLAND YOGA STUDIO (616 Congress St; 10 percent student discount), THE YOGA CENTER (137 Preble St; free introductory classes in September), THE YOGA EXCHANGE (106A Exchange St; first class free), PORTLAND POWER YOGA (425 Marginal Way; newcomers package), or WHOLE HEART YOGA CENTER (150 St John St; Kripalu-style, also holding free classes in September) — just to name a few.
Several Portland gyms offer student memberships, including PLANET FITNESS and the MAINE ROCK GYM, both on Marginal Way. Of course, your school may have a top-notch fitness center that you can use for free.
As for healthy food, well, the area is renowned for its good and good-for-you eateries. An informal survey of Phoenix staffers rounded up these choices for healthy grub in the Old Port: LITTLE LAD'S BAKERY (482 Congress St), O'NATURALS (83 Exchange St), LADLE (58 Exchange St), BIG SKY BREAD COMPANY (in the Market House in Monument Square), and the NORTH STAR CAFÉ (225 Congress St). Sushi is good for the brain and for the body, and YOSAKU (1 Danforth St) and FUJI (29 Exchange St) are two local favorites. And the newish MAINE SQUEEZE JUICE CAFÉ (5 1/2 Moulton St) could help fulfill daily recommended servings of fruits and vegetables — all in one cup.

About Me Sensitive eyes, Wear Contacts
I use this when I store my contacts, I add 1 or 2 drops along with my solution and have never had any problems. I have used this with yearly, monthly and daily contacts and I would not trade this for anything. I do wish that it was a little less expensive, but it is worth every penny. I have very sensitive eyes and these are the only drops I will use.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
The best I've ever used!
By Ron
from Dayton, OH
About Me Allergy Sufferer, Wear Contacts
A single drop clears your contact lenses for hours. Although comparitively more expensive, Clerz Plus lasts longer than most other brands. I have been wearing contacts for over 40 years and have not found a better solution and I have used a huge number of solutions.
Works great!

I've tried plenty of other rewetting drops. These are by far the best ones. They feel great when you use them and they also help clear the protein build-up as you use it.
Best eye drops for extended wear
By extended contact wearer
from MI
About Me Wear Contacts
This is the best eyedrop I've found for use with extended wear contacts(i.e. AirOptix Night & Day) One drop removes protein and debris build up and lasts for awhile. I find I need to use less drops when using Clerz vs. other brands.I wish it wasn't so expensive compared to other brands, but still worth it. It lasts longer even in a smaller bottle than Blink for example.

Liberia: Quarter of a million people need aid in 2012
The UN and its humanitarian partners have appealed for US$121 million to help Liberia cope with the large numbers of Ivorian refugees in the country's impoverished south-east region.
More than 120,000 Ivorian refugees who fled post-election violence in Côte d'Ivoire now live in Liberia's four eastern counties: Nimba, Grand Gedeh, River Gee and Maryland.
When the Ivorian conflict broke out following disputed presidential election results in December 2010, about 200,000 Ivorians sought refuge in Liberia. Although tens of thousands of these people have returned to Côte d'Ivoire, those who remain in Liberia need food, water, shelter and basic social services.
As many as 140,000 Liberians living in rural communities in the four counties have shared meagre resources and limited social services with the refugees.
"Even though we are no longer in the same situation as we were last year, there are pressing needs which still require our urgent attention," said Moustapha Soumaré, Humanitarian Coordinator in Liberia. "This goes both for the Ivorian refugees and Liberian people who, despite their own vulnerability, have kindly opened their homes and hearts to their neighbours."
The funding will provide food, water, health care, shelter and basic education to more than a quarter of a million Ivorian refugees and Liberians. It will also support livelihoods through job-skills training, along with the distribution of seeds and farming tools. There are also plans to help more Ivorians return home when they are ready.

Bloc Party is not a band with which I am very familiar, admittedly. However, I remember some friends listing to them back in the day around the same time that we saw their lead singer (Kele) on a magazine cover with M.I.A. In fact for a while afterwards I totally thought M.I.A. was in the band. But it's okay, somebody explained it all to me later so I'm fine now. And although I can't claim to be a big Bloc Party fan, I'm always interested in new music and they've got some! Let's checkie out the funky little Octopus video inside.
Bloc Party: Octopus
I dunno you guys. That flashy epileptic video movement is just never gonna get old for me! And the song carefully balances between the mellow and the melodramatic; it rocks and rolls but it's also got a sweetness to it that gives it a unique, irresistible feel.
What I'm trying to say is that I think I love this song, and it's time for me to start paying more attention to Bloc Party! Octopus is the first single off their new album called Four (it's their first in four years, so you get it). The album drops August 20th.
Any Bloc Party fans in the PITNB building? As a new listener I love this track, but maybe someone can tell us how it fares against their old work. Hit me in the comments!
P.S. Every time I see the word "octopus" I see Fiona Apple! She has seriously taken over my life.0

"Princeton University's campus is one of its most precious assets," according to President Shirley M. Tilghman. This is made evident when the architectural style -- from old to new -- on Princeton's campus is showcased in a different way as twilight hits its buildings. An example of the new architecture is seen here with the exterior of the Lewis Library. Designed by Frank Gehry and opened in 2008, the structure is composed of stainless steel, steel, clay brick, glass and stucco.

Princeton at twilight
Posted December 27, 2010; 12:00 p.m.
In the subdued light just after sunset, Princeton's campus takes on a new look. Familiar buildings cast unusual shadows, and glowing lights provide distinctive beacons.
The campus has evolved over the years, with innovative architecture rising to complement the historic buildings, while at the same time Princeton's landscapes and natural resources have been sustained. The University is recognized around the world for its impressive, eclectic mix of architecture and beautiful gardens, greens and natural areas. This architectural blend of the old and new is highlighted in a different way when twilight falls.

This webinar provided an overview of next-generation additive manufacturing (AM) technologies, its capabilities, and research challenges, with particular emphasis on research needs and challenges in process monitoring and quality control.
The discovery of lean production methods used at leading Japanese companies is not a new event. Several American companies that were awarded the Deming Application Prize in the early 1980s by the Union of Japanese Scientists and Engineers (JUSE) had spent significant time studying Japanese management practices related to the process of continual improvement and Hewlett-Packard was one of the pioneers in implementing these methods in its U.S.-based manufacturing facilities in the early 1980s. However, the publication of the MIT study The Machine that Changed the World and other books by academics greatly enhanced the reputation of lean methods and this has caused many organizations to seek productivity improvement through the application of such methods.
Managing for quality requires a systems approach that includes all components of a comprehensive product: hardware, software, service and people processes. Such quality systems are designed using technologies that include: applied statistics, process management, reliability engineering, information systems, and data base management. When problems occur, diagnostic analysis is required to contain the issue as well as develop prompt corrective action as well as effective preventive action to eliminate recurrence of the issue.
Estimation of system reliability is generally based on system structures and component reliability estimates. However, the component reliability estimates are often uncertain due to insufficient failure data or limited testing times, and thus, the associated system reliability estimate exhibits uncertainty as well. The variance is often used to quantify the uncertainty of system reliability estimates. This webinar introduces a non-parametric based modeling approach to estimating the system reliability base on the limited component lifetime data.
This is a two-part webinar series that covers the basics and fundamentals of reliability engineering. Part 1 begins with an introduction of reliability - the definition and reliability characteristics and measurements.
This is the second of a two-part webinar series that covers the basics and fundamentals of reliability engineering. Part 2 covers reliability calculation, estimation of failure rates and understanding of the implications of failure rates on system maintenance and replacements. It will also cover the most important and practical failure time distributions and how to obtain the parameters of the distributions and interpretations of these parameters.

Hey, Kevin - the seminar will be about 2 hrs in the morning followed by a mock test that folks can run their dogs for the remainder of the day. During the mock test, there will be discussion about what to do and what not to do as folks run their dogs. You can chose whether you bring a dog or not. Although this will be a NAHRA event, everything that is discussed and presented will be easily transferable to whichever venue of tests you'd choose to run. I think you would have a great time, meet some really nice dog people and will learn a lot. Hope to see you there.
This may 4th seminar is just for people right? I might have to make the haul over there to get some insight of how these things work.
