Best Hot Dog Isn't Chic

Some people like 'em piled high with pickle relish, onions or chili. Others will top it off with sauerkraut for some Old World flavor. Cheddar cheese & bacon are just the ticket for the Midwestern palate. In the Southwest desert, eateries serve it up with a selection of hot sauces & peppers. Me, I keep it simple: a bun, the star attraction, ketchup & mustard, yellow, to be exact. ...

Real customer reviews from Mercedes-Benz owners like you.
Ignition coils transform low voltage electrical power 12 volts D.C. to high voltage current 50,000 volts D.C. or higher. The spark generated by the ignition coil ignites the fuel and air mixture in the engine that enables the car to start and run smoothly. If an ignition coil is not working properly, no spark will ignite the air fuel mixture, causing a misfire. A bad ignition coil can severely damage the engine or catalytic converter. If your car is equipped with "coil over plugs," then it is recommended that you replace the spark plugs. If your car uses a single coil for the ignition system, it is not necessary to change the spark plugs.

Hello all! Thanks to all who spend time here helping others!
Pertinent Background
I have a two year old yellow Labrador. He comes from a great line and is probably smarter than I am. :)
He currently: sits, lays down, stays (working on removing the word "stay" and we are almost there!), retrieves short distances, 90% on staying still when a bumper is tossed (waits for me to say "back" or "go", or his name), and various other family-type commands (like leave it, drop it, get in the car, etc etc)
I would like to hunt fowl with him, and would like to participate in AKC Hunt Tests.
What I THINK I Know
From what I can gather, I really need to sharpen his obedience before I do anything else. He comes when called 90% of the time and doesn't heel at all (and as I mentioned before, working on "sit means sit"). Once I get these tightened up, I would like to move on to more hunting specific items.
I have been looking at both Fowl Dawgs and Smartworks as a program.
The Question(s)
1) Do you think I will have a harder time because his is already two?
2) Am I right that I should focus on heel, sit means sit, and recall before I move on to anything else?
3) With a goal of hunting and hunt tests (and knowing my background), which program would you recommend and why?
4) Will I be able to do this on my own, or should I be sending him off to a pro?
5) How do "clubs" work? Can I just join one and get help from others? And would you recommend joining one?
Sorry for the newbie questions. I tried to make them as clear and to the point as I could. I just feel a little overwhelmed with what direction to go from here.

Hartke, Sheehan and the HyDrives
Hartke = Revolution
1985, the year that the bass amp was revolutionised. Hartke transformed the world of bass amplification upon the production of their innovative aluminium cone driver which proved to be maybe even more popular than Hartke themselves anticipated. The unique driver produced a bass tone like no other, with a much broader dynamic range than had ever been heard on a bass amp before. Since then, the company has continued their production of amplifiers and went on to produce a full line of bass amplifiers, cabs and combos that today, are used by some of the most famous musicians in the world.
|"Hartke amps are ROCK SOLID! Tight, high definition, deep and glorious. I absolutely love playing through them."
"Obviously somebody not only knows what they're doing , but somebody cares, and that's a big factor for me with the amps I use."
Hartke has been in the news a lot lately, partially thanks to their "wooing" of some very high profile endorsers including Mr. Big's Billy Sheehan. The man is a bass icon, playing styles from Heavy Metal to Instrumental Rock and Jazz Fusion, Sheehan covers the whole spectrum of guitar-infused genres.
The bassist's first full-time band was the power-trio, Talas who opened for Van Halen in 1980 and this lead on to Sheehan landing a gig as the bassist for the David Lee Roth band. It wasn't until '88 that Sheehan got together with singer Eric Martin, guitarist Paul Gilbert and drummer Pat Torpey and formed the quartet, Mr. Big.
Sheehan is a proud endorser of Hartke amps and admits to being highly dependent on his Hartke live setup, often consisting of an AK115 or AK410 bass cab and a HA5500C, LH1000 or Kilo Bass amplifier.
Let's go for a Drive
HyDrive transducers represent a revolutionary improvement in bass speaker technology and a major leap forward, combining paper and aluminum speaker design that is more robust and efficient than many other products available. Hartke's HyDrive series gives you the best of both worlds: the warm tone of traditional paper cones and the clear, punchy attack of aluminum.
HyDrive's patented Hybrid Cone Technology produces a speaker that uses an outside paper cone to push a warm, deep low frequency and an inner aluminum cone that produces mids and highs that cut, yet still remain sweet. But the innovation runs even deeper. Because of its cast aluminum frame and neodymium magnets, HyDrive speakers operate cooler and deliver more reliable power handling at peak performance.
One of the best features of the HyDrive amps is its versatility. With the compressor, graphic EQ, shape control and additional treble and bass controls, you can dial in a hi-fi, '80s-LA-funk kind of slap & pop sound, or roll off the treble for a more modern studio pop voice. Bring some mids in and sweep the shape control until you find a sweet spot and you can get some nice punchy straight rock sounds, too, especially with passive pickups. Hit the bass attack overdrive switch and you can dial in as much or as little roar as you like.
The HyDrive 210C pushes out ridiculous amounts of volume and bass. You'll certainly never need to worry about being heard above a band, and the low end almost feels like you're getting hit with a subwoofer... in the face... in a good way of course!
It's our Favourite
"The HyDrive 210C feels absolutely bulletproof. Whether you play rock, metal, funk, pop, jazz, blues or country, it can do it all and, importantly, do it authentically. There's nothing worse than trying an amp with a lot of features and realising it doesn't do them all distinctively. Whether you're using it for its hyper-clean tones or its ultra-distorted ones, the HyDrive feels like it's meant to sound that way." - Mixdown
Right now, Hartke amps are being put to good use by artists like Marcus Miller, Frank Bello and Darryl Jones, who are also fans of the HyDrive series. Hartke are always driving the latest innovations in speaker and amplifier technology and we think that it's their best amp range to date.

An even better question is how many amateurs entered past or present work 40+ hours per week on top of training their own dog. That would be even more rare and I would think darn near impossible, but respectable to say the least.
Matt Weberpal
Candlewood's Just In Case JH
As to the "true" amateur versus pro argument, I look at it this way:
1) Just due to the fact that it is their full time profession over a long period of time, most Pros are better handlers than most amateurs, that said the very best amateurs can hold their own as a handler against anyone.
2) Tactically in a field trial, pros have an advantage over amateurs in their ability to go to school on a number of dogs as they learn the best way to approach a test, I get two shots, they might get twenty.
3) That advantage can be outweighed by the extremely personal relationship a dedicated amateur has with his dog. Assuming the dog is as talented as the best and the amateur trainer is a handler of the highest level,
that dog-handler team can become super-tight and a formidable team over time.
4) If I'm in a holding blind between Mike Lardy and Danny Farmer, it is of no consequence whatever, I need to concentrate on the test, not other handlers except to maybe learn some nuance by watching them handle
their dogs. We need to do the best we can and let the chips fall where they may during call backs and placements.
There is a huge spectrum of amateurs handlers in our sport, that runs from the do-it-all-themselves trainers such as Chris Hatch and my buddy Jim, to the few who haven't trained their dog a day in their life, the huge majority are somewhere in between those two extremes. Many are like me, I do a lot of my training, keeping my dogs home for months at a time, over decades I have learned from other amateurs like Jim and from very good coaching Pros such as Eric Fangsrud, so I'm comfortable setting up test and taking my dogs through a program. Then I might find myself too busy at work and or unable to make a seasonal road trip so my dogs may be with a pro for months at a time. I admire Jim and Chris to a great extent, but at the end of the day we are all competing against each other on an equal basis.
Even amateurs, whose dogs have never been handled by a pro are generally still significantly influenced by a pro(s). It would be virtually impossible for an amateur to gain enough knowledge and technique from just deciding to start training his dogs one day to run FTs & be even a little successful. With that said & apart from extreme examples, I see no real separating factor to distinguish some amateurs from another. Sure we can distinguish the extremes, the totally pro-trained dog where the owner just shows up to handle the dog in an amateur stake versus the dog whose owner trains the dog virtually all the time & handles the dog in opens & amateur stakes. And of those in the latter category, many of those amateurs still train "with" pros, using the pros setups, birds and help. In my case, I have done all of the young dog training on all of my dogs except two. And I have done about 1/2 of the year's AA training without pro presence. In the other half of the year, I have trained "with" Dave Smith for about 3 months and the dogs have been trained by Dave Smith with me not there about 3 mos (I like to hunt & take a summer vacation too). I handle the dogs in both opens & Ams except for an avg of 3 trials (of approx 20) that I run each year. Sure Dave Smith would love to keep my dogs & run them himself (& he might even do it better) but I'm not in this game to be a spectator and by handling my dogs most all of the time, I know my dogs better than some pros know the ones they train because I only have 3-4 to keep up with.
So apart from the extremes noted, I think there is little distinction among most successful amateurs only a little gray. And for those amateurs who can train every day and have access to good grounds whenever, they have money in addition to time.........time & money being the foundation ingredients for success with some good eyesight and reaction skills thrown in to make them very competitive - and of course the main ingredient, a great dog.
David Didier, GA
A couple thoughts. Using the definition of amatuer vs pro to me has different values. I see folks that are so called amateurs with a truck load of dogs and have hundreds or thousands of acres of land to train on and train in large groups. Then I see a working stiff that trains by themselves during the week and weekends when they have time with a group. I know a bunch that fit in both category and no offense to Danny or Mike but could give a rat rump if they ran between them. If you look at the end of the day the am by percentage may be more successful entries vs wins/points.
"Communism only works in Heaven, where they don't need it, and in Hell, where they already have it" Ronald Reagan
Not sure about NAFC but in 2006 NFC-AFC Dr. Copper Phd. MH won the National with owner/trainer/handler Wayne Dodson. She was a hunt test dog, hunting companion, and amazing animal being amateur trained.
Post #43 really sums it up. People who have accomplished this goal- all while employed and raising a family TRUE amateurs are few- those whom I remember and by this I do not mean someone like myself who has relied heavily on Rex Carr, Andy Attar, Jim VanEngen, and Dave Rorem. Those that I can recall are Bob Willow and Ray Goodrich, a crane operator(he can move a lot of dirt fast) and an attorney who piloted his own plane and showed up too often in my geographical area, damn his dogs were good and Ray is a declining breed in today's society-HE IS A GENTLEMAN. What you have never heard of Ray? Well those determining the final ballot people apparently have not either. Ray Goodrich is 91 years old, lives in Santa Cruz, California. Ray today trains everyday and still competes in Licensed trials. So much for the present day.Ray has DoubleHeaders with two different dogs--Rascal and Brig.Ray judged a National Amateur Stake, Ray has won a National Amateur stake, Ray has gone up the ladder of National officer status and served as a National officer. Ray Incidentally owned the high point OPEN dog in the same year that the dog died (April from a training accident) YES Rascal had enough placements by April of the year in which he died to achieve the title "High Point Open Dog". Every 4 years the National Retriever Club has been granted permission to have full use of his property in Oakdale, Ca. where they have held their event. Without that venue there would be problems. Unfortunately through the years the POOH BAHS who ran the selection of candidates overlooked Ray for the RHOF.Primarily their interests lay with who had the most money to donate to The Bird Dog Foundation, those often were never active trainers only owners. I am not going to try to send out requests to name Ray as a candidate for the RHOF- often this leads to people being nominated who are deserving, yet whose credentials can't hold a candle to the record of Raymond Goodrich as a GENTLEMAN, a National WINNER and JUDGE, and a DoubleHeader winner-2 different dogs and four plus years as a National Officer, and every four years the host of the NRCCS. So who will this year's selection committee decide to include? I hope that whomever it is that they have added to ALL phases of our sport and then compiled a record. I for one will be casting my choice for nomination to Ray Goodrich before he dies-there are other worthy candidates, so let the games begin.

Shares in agency mortgage real-estate investment trust American Capital Agency (AGNC) opened 5.5% higher Tuesday morning to $23.05 after the company late Monday reported a $2.37 second-quarter loss per common share and a $25.51 second-quarter net book value, down 11.8% the first quarter. The book value loss wasn't as sharp as that seen by fellow mREIT Hatteras Financial Corp (HTS) a week earlier, when its shares plunged 10.8% after reporting a 21.3% second-quarter drop in book value, but then AGNC shares had fallen more sharply previously.
Analysts are weighing in on AGNC today. First from Michael R. Widner and Sean C. Tillman of Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, which has a $27 price target and an Outperform rating, who call AGNC's dividend outlook "uncertain" and say they're "not entirely sure what to make of the lower leverage" the company is reporting at this point:
Book value declined 11.8%, better than the market feared but slightly worse than we projected. That's about the best we can say, but after a 33% drop in the stock q/q "better than feared" is something of a welcome relief. The strain on book and cost of increased hedges more than offset the benefit of wider spreads, and our earnings projections come down.
Core earnings were a bit light but this was already broadly anticipated given the dividend cut to $1.05 (from $1.25) and management's intra-quarter conference comments…. We remain positive on the stock but anticipate the valuation being stuck in the low 90%s of book at least until rate volatility subsides and the outlook more clear.
Sterne Agee, which retained its $22.00 price target and Neutral rating, said AGNC's book value missed its estimate of $26.20 and consensus expectations of $26.95. "Book value fell worse than our models suggested, but with the shares at ~86% of book value, we suspect most of this is already discounted," wrote Sterne Agee's Henry J. Coffey, Jr. and Calvin Hotrum.
Annaly Capital Management (NLY), the other big agency mortgage REIT, is due to report its second-quarter earnings on Thursday.

The Portland Press Herald/Maine Sunday Telegram and its sister papers announced at 4 pm last Friday that an effort was under way to bring in new owners to take over the papers, in the wake of Richard Connor's abrupt departure back in October.
Led by Chris Harte, who back in the pre-Blethen 1990s was president of the Press Herald, the prospective investors say they want to add capital to the papers, and talk nicely about committing to the community. (Personally, Harte has long been a generous giver to causes in town and around the state.) But the announcement also mentioned "disciplined management," which could be corporate-speak for additional cuts.
Releasing news late on Friday afternoons is often a way to limit aggressive reporting on controversial announcements, because fewer reporters work weekends, and because sources can safely claim to be out of the office, and thereby avoid tough questions — at least until the initial round of stories comes out with the news itself.
In any case, there are plenty of important details to be fleshed out over time.
First, there's the deal itself, which is not yet done — rather, the existing owners and the new investors have agreed "terms" under which the investment would happen. So it's really an announcement of nothing except what most Press Herald watchers assumed was happening: talks with potential investors about who is going to run the company now that its only media-experienced leader, Connor, is gone.
Next, the prospective new investors haven't yet met with the union representing most of the company's workers. That's actually two problems. The union is a part owner of the company, and apparently hasn't had any say in the terms of this deal; it is a minority owner, but being denied a seat at the table for discussions like this is a serious blow to the union's claim to a voice in management. And it raises extremely big questions about worker compensation; while the union trumpeted the fact that in September it reached a contract that did not include wage or benefits cuts, that's only true because the new agreement punted talks about pay and extras to the middle of 2012.
Those are the most pressing questions, but there are others. Harte, an heir to the Harte-Hanks newspaper fortune, is a major investor in Current Publishing, a group of community weekly papers covering the southern and western suburbs of Portland. (I worked at Current Publishing for four years, ending in 2005.) It will be interesting to see whether his involvement will lead to increased competition — or perhaps collaboration — between the weeklies and the Press Herald.
Harte politely declined to comment for this piece, saying it was "too early" to say anything. But over the years, in previous conversations with me, he had always specifically denied there was any substance to the recurring rumors that he was interested in purchasing the paper. Perhaps it was a much lower cost than ever before that got him this time, or public-spiritedness on the part of a longtime newspaperman. It's certainly not without bitter awareness of the risk; when the Minneapolis Star Tribune exited bankruptcy in 2009, he walked away empty-handed, leaving millions in investments behind.

Would like everyones opinion.
Would like everyones opinion.
i like the kid alot he is not a true #1 but he can play on sunday
Don't think he's a #1. I feel like he'll run fast at the combine and that'll send him rocketing up draft boards combined with his stellar stats. But I feel like he plays wayyyyyy slower than his times will indicate
Extremely productive deep threat on the outside. His 27 career receiving TD's leads the Senior class of WR's (D-1). Fairly unique blend of size/speed/hands. Good player.
The thing I've liked about him is that he's a true vertical threat and proves it time and again. Not every guy who catches deep passes actually proves he's a vertical threat. In Art Briles' offense Williams often has a narrow patch of grass to work with because he's lined up so wide at the snap of the ball. He has to deal with the sideline as well as the defender all the time and he consistently executes because he's such a threat vertically. You combine that with some (most times) good hands and play making ability that way, and his surprisingly good run after the catch especially over the middle, and I think you have a pretty good player that I have no problem being taken in the second day of the draft, maybe even the first day at the tail end depending on your appetite for risk.
Twitter: @ckparrot
i think the senior bowl is gonna be huge for him...get off press and separate and i see a top 50 guy...he's got some things going for him...i like the point of how he plays the sideline well despite lining up so wide...i think his field awareness is very good...and he can like other have said get vertical
better not have a brian quick like senior bowl week though...will kill his stock for me
This wide receiver class has the potential to have a pretty fat neck. Seniors like Terrance Williams and Quinton Patton bolster it. Marquess Wilson's leaving of Mike Leach's program should mean another guy that fattens the neck. Da'Rick Rogers and Keenan Allen have already declared. Robert Woods, Cordarrelle Patterson, DeAndre Hopkins, Justin Hunter and Stedman Bailey are also weighing their options. Among them, Patterson is rumored to be leaning toward staying in school. And of course you have the enigmatic Tavon Austin, who teams could view as the next Percy Harvin.
I don't know that you feel so strong or urgent about any of these guys to take them high. There are no slam dunks among them. Certainly no Calvin Johnsons, no Dez Bryants, no A.J. Greens or even a Michael Crabtrees (who was long foreseen by many to be a stellar prospect, whether he's come through on that or not). I don't see a Hakeem Nicks. And I get to say I don't see a Hakeem Nicks because I'm among those that actually saw Hakeem Nicks for what he was. I don't even think there are any physical freaks like the aforementioned Calvin Johnson, Demaryius Thomas, Stephen Hill or Julio Jones.
What there is, is just a fair amount of good players you can imagine playing good football for you. And some of these guys will indeed end up stars it's just not necessarily easy to tell which ones.

Morphological cardiac imaging
In morphological cardiac MRI, the main priority is to clearly delineate the heart chambers and vascular lumen, using a "dark blood" contrast (PRESTO / dark-blood / black-blood) . This imaging is based on spin echo sequences, in their fast and ultrafast variants, with prospective gating and diastole acquisition. « Dark blood » contrast results from the outflow effect of the moving spins in the blood, and suppression of the blood signal prior to acquisition.
Fast spin echo sequences, combined with the multiplane technique, can be carried out in breath-hold (5 to 15 seconds depending on the machine). Ultrafast spin echo sequences can acquire a slice in a single R-R interval (a heartbeat). Breath-hold is not therefore indispensable.
Suppression of the blood signal (Dark blood / PRESTO)
The blood signal is suppressed to obtain a dark blood contrast, using a double inversion preparation scheme (figure 11.5):
- The first 180° inversion pulse is non selective, and applied to the entire volume explored
- This is immediately followed by a second 180° inversion pulse selecting the slice to scan: restoring the longitudinal magnetization of the spins of the slice of interest. However, the longitudinal magnetization of the spins outside the slice plane remains inverted, and regains equilibrium depending on the T1 of the blood.
- The acquisition sequence is launched after an inversion time TI corresponding to the cancellation of the blood signal: the signal of the blood flowing into the slice is suppressed.
Nevertheless, a blood signal will persist when it is in the slice during the two inversions and during the imaging sequence (case of slow-flowing blood moving through the slice plane).

With the recent news of the upcoming Original Trilogy DVD set having even more changes beyond the Special Editions, as well as Lucas saying that we won't be seeing another release of the classic pre-SE versions, many fans have been discussing - pro and con - the possibility of buying or making their own bootleg OT DVDs. There are currently several different OT bootlegs on the market, ranging in quality - from above-VHS decent even with a few extras to fuzzy and having permanent red Chinese subtitles - and sources - from the Definitive Collection laserdiscs to Asian VCDs to poor transfers from the THX videotapes - these bootlegs generally receive mixed reviews, but it hasn't stopped purists from pining away for classic, pre-'97 versions of the film on the DVD format.
So the question is, have you actually thought about getting OT bootleg DVDs, and if so, what was the result?
(If you already own a copy of the bootlegs, please vote for the "I'm seriously considering..." option that best suits your opinion.)

China said its trade surplus widened last month as export growth accelerated. Above, the Great Wall.
China is putting a kick back in BRICs.
The world's second-largest economy is showing nascent signs of a pickup in growth, which is starting to trickle through to markets in the rest of the so-called BRICS—Brazil, Russia and India. Some investors are wagering that these countries stand to reap substantial economic benefits from faster growth in China due to the close trade ties within the group.
Just Monday, China said its trade surplus widened last month as export growth accelerated.
"The recent encouraging news out of China improves the outlook for these countries," says Marcelo Assalin, head of emerging market sovereign debt at ING Investment Management, which oversees assets worth $377 billion.
Led by rising demand for Chinese stocks and bonds, BRIC markets have outperformed their emerging-market peers. Over the past three months, the MSCI BRIC index has returned 5.8% compared with the broader MSCI EM index's 4.9% as of last Friday. Both track stock markets.
While there is no widely followed bond-market gauge exclusively for BRICs, investors have been pouring into BRIC-focused bond funds. These funds posted five weeks in a row of inflows as of Nov. 7, the first time that has happened this year. Since September, investors have added $40.64 million to these funds, according to EPFR Global.
In the first eight months of this year, the funds registered outflows of $217.5 million.
Investors say Brazilian and Russian local debt, Chinese and Indian equities and the Indian rupee and Russian ruble are particularly attractive.
Mr. Assalin boosted his exposure to Russian local-currency bonds in August. Yields are as high as 8% on 15-year bonds, and Mr. Assalin expects demand for these bonds to jump when they become eligible for clearance through Euroclear, an international settlement system.
Easier settlement of bonds is the latest sign that investors continue to embrace Russia despite the state's strong role in the economy. Ratings firms in 2003 deemed Russia investment grade, meaning it is seen as having a low probability of default.
"Where else in the world can we invest in investment-grade-rated debt with high yield and currency appreciation?" Mr. Assalin asks. The ruble recently traded at 31.62 rubles to the dollar, down for the day but up 7.5% from June lows.
Until earlier this year, BRICs had been in favor among many emerging-market investors since 2003, when Goldman Sachs Asset Management Chairman Jim O'Neill coined the term. Over the past decade, these countries posted booming growth, drawing more mainstream investors to emerging markets.
Early in 2012, the BRICs were feeling the brunt of pessimism over global growth. Now, some investors say they are sifting through assets in search of cheap valuations and higher yields than those offered in developed markets. At the same time, many say they see BRICs as a safer alternative to smaller emerging markets like Indonesia.
BRICs are still vulnerable to broad selloffs at times when investors are "risk-off." Some investors say their recent performance could evaporate quickly as the deadline approaches to avoid the "fiscal cliff" of tax rises and budget cuts in the U.S.
Given the risks, it doesn't make sense for investors to focus too much on BRICs, says Gustavo Galindo, emerging-markets portfolio manager with $12 billion under management at Russell Investments, a global investment manager. Investors, he says, have become increasingly comfortable with non-BRIC markets such as Mexico and Turkey, which also offer high yields.
"There's has been a realization that BRIC countries are not always the right place to be," as their rate of growth is surpassed by smaller emerging markets, Mr. Galindo says. For example, Russia's economy slowed to just 2.9% in the third quarter from 4% in the previous quarter.
Some investors say BRICs look cheap following their shoddy performance for much of 2012. For instance, the Brazilian stock market plummeted nearly 10% in July but has bounced 7.8% since then.
The Brazilian real fell between March and June as the country's central bank intervened to weaken the currency and cut interest rates. Now, expectations are for the central bank to pause and for the real to stabilize, said Nick Robinson, head of Brazilian equities at Aberdeen Asset Management. Since September, Mr. Robinson has boosted the exposure of the $8-billion Aberdeen Emerging Markets Fund to Brazilian stocks to about 17% from about 10%.
Morgan Harting, senior portfolio manager at asset manager AllianceBernstein Holding LP, which oversees investments worth about $420 billion, says the combination of faster growth in China and a Federal Reserve committed to monetary easing make it unlikely that the BRICs will suffer another setback soon.

Ronto w. Jawa (I'd buy it, but it wouldn't be my first choice)
Eiopee (w. who? I want Shmi Skywalker in a 12" one way or another)
Jabba the Hutt (w. Oola would rock! Bib's been done, same w. Slave Leia)
Bantha w. Tusken Raider (I'm so there!!!)
Nexu - this could sell on its own I think
Orray w. Geonosian Picador - this could rock. The cart could make it better!
Reek - This could be really cool if you could put all 3 heroes on it.
Massif w. Tusken Raider - maybe... I'd prefer the Bantha. Both?
Are the Rancor and the Acklay getting way out of control???
I could see the Rancor before the Acklay, but man would either of them make a "Christmas item!!!"

Since Dorothy Parker died, in 1967, Carrie Fisher is probably the most hilarious screwed-up person alive. Really, she's as funny as Dame Edna Everage and as screwed-up as Britney Spears crossed with Sylvia Plath. In her one-woman show Wishful Drinking (presented by the Huntington Theatre Company at the Boston University Theatre through October 26), this scion of Hollywood royalty lets her pimpled personal history hang out, from a childhood caught in the winds of scandal to an adolescence as a Star Wars icon in hairmuffs to an adulthood spent in the lusty embrace of drugs, alcohol, manic depression, and Paul Simon. Lumpy, candid, and caustic at 52, the artist formerly known as Princess Leia sprinkles wry humor like heavy pixie dust across her cautionary tale of a life that "if it weren't funny would just be true — and that is unacceptable."
Not only is Fisher's on-stage memoir immensely entertaining, it's been trumped up with multimedia accouterments uncommon in a one-person show. There is a contemporary living-room set backed by roiling orange and a montage of projections. Fisher enters warbling "Happy Days Are Here Again" as newspaper headlines fly behind her chronicling events from the severing of America's sweethearts — her parents, Eddie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds — to her own hospitalizations and bad reviews. (She's declared "bovine and unappealing" by infamously misogynistic critic John Simon.)
The writer/performer breaks the ice by recalling the moment when she woke up with a dead friend in her bed. ("He not only died in his sleep, he died in mine.") Then she backtracks to the beginning of an existence that's been equal parts celebrity and absurdity. The events and relationships revisited in Wishful Drinking may be twisted, but Fisher's ironic celebration of the success-studded train wreck of her life will keep you doubled over for two hours. It's only in the aftermath that you worry about this poster girl for bi-polar disorder, who apologizes early on for any memory lapses she may suffer as a result of recent shock therapy — which she heartily recommends. (If Wishful Drinking has a serious purpose, it is to destigmatize mental illness.)
As she herself suggests, Fisher's saving grace is her scathing wit, which is more upbeat than cruel. She has passed through the world weighted by baggage and privilege and brains. And through no fault or particular effort of her own, she has accumulated buckets o' fodder for a show like Wishful Drinking. Ostensibly in response to a question from her 16-year-old daughter regarding the girl's possible connection to a grandson of Mike Todd, Fisher hauls out a blackboard chock with an extended-family tree encompassing her multiply married parents and their serial, internecine amours. Her account of this twisted, gilded mating history is hilarious. Its conclusion: daughter Billie and the young man descended from Liz Taylor and her third husband are "related by scandal."
That Fisher's identity has been co-opted early and often, mostly with her complicity, is acknowledged from the get-go with a voiceover announcement that, regrettably, at this evening's performance, the part of Carrie Fisher will not be played by Meryl Streep (who did the honors in the film based on Fisher's autobiographical novel, Postcards from the Edge). Fisher later trumpets with mock pride that she's been both a Pez dispenser and a chapter in an abnormal-psychology textbook — the latter illustrated with a picture of white-draped, chubby-cheeked, coiffure-challenged Princess Leia.

IP conversion tool
I need a tool that will transform and IP range to a list of IP's, that I will be able to put in an txt file.
As an example I have this range:
and I need a text file that will contain all the IPs in this range. I will use this file in Nessus to scan large parts of my network. I cannot put this range in Nessus because it doesn't recognize it. I can put it in Nmap, and I tried to do a ping scan against a range like this, but nmap has crashed.

Call to pcap_open_live(eth3, 100, 0, 200) failed three times. Reported error: eth3: That device is not up
There are several possible reasons for this, depending on your operating system:
LINUX: If you are getting Socket type not supported, try modprobe af_packet or recompile your kernel with SOCK_PACKET enabled.
*BSD: If you are getting device not configured, you need to recompile your kernel with Berkeley Packet Filter support. If you are getting No such file or directory, try creating the device (eg cd /dev; MAKEDEV <device>; or use mknod).
*WINDOWS: Nmap only supports ethernet interfaces on Windows for most operations because Microsoft disabled raw sockets as of Windows XP SP2. Depending on the reason for this error, it is possible that the --unprivileged command-line argument will help.
SOLARIS: If you are trying to scan localhost or the address of an interface and are getting '/dev/lo0: No such file or directory' or 'lo0: No DLPI device found', complain to Sun. I don't think Solaris can support advanced localhost scans. You can probably use "-PN -sT localhost" though.

Gase has taken an interesting approach to instilling a winning culture in Miami. He is cocky. He is smart. He is borderline deranged.
Read more here: http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/sp...#storylink=cpy
Bull****? We disagree my friend.
The pundits rated the draft a C - to a B -, I personally think it was a C.
He chose a TE over many quality receivers in a draft that was stocked with quality through round 4 in the very year that he selects his franchise QB. Why wait? they could have grown up together in 2012.
Martin, considering where he was drafted, started out extremely poor (pan caked on a regular basis, played weak) and for a while there looked like a complete bust. Based upon his play at LT he looks serviceable, but IMHO he is still a concern. I do not rate him above Jake Long.
Ireland has a track record of mistakes and creating new holes to fill by correcting those mistakes.
The team has 10 million in dead cap money on a regular basis over the last few years...not great management...again..those mistakes.
Ireland has a track record of poor picks in rounds 2-3.
His FA signings have been horrible.
The selection of Tannehill had more to do with Shermin's familiarity with him, Philbins desire for a better QB suited for the WCO short passing game than any input of Ireland IMHO.
I will say it again, Ireland sucks, and more than a few of the knowledgeable regular posters on this site could have done a better job drafting the last 3 years using just the internet as a resource.
I may be in the minority, but this issue should be front and center. Ireland needs a bonfire under his asss.
If the site chooses to merge them, so be it. This is your ball park.
Mel Kiper had us at a solid C. Upon further review he gave us a B- and he always takes points off because we're the dolphins.
Fox sportsPost-draft grade: C
Summary: The Dolphins' draft looks better today. Ryan Tannehill was a value question for me at the No. 8 spot, but Miami didn't want to mess around with trading down and hoping he was still there, so the Dolphins stuck with a plan and got the guy they wanted. They also created what should have been one of the smoother system transitions in recent memory by hiring Tannehill's college coach (Mike Sherman) to call plays. Tannehill had some highs, and he clearly showed why we consider him a high-ceiling talent, but on the aggregate he was a roller-coaster -- up one week, playing poorly the next. Maturity, experience and some weapons could mean a much better 2013. Jonathan Martin settled in on the right side and played pretty well, and Olivier Vernon might someday take over for the great Cameron Wake. Rishard Matthews might also be a late developmental value after seeing the field the last few games of the season. This could be a good draft, but it's all about whether Tannehill can take the next step. I think he can.
New grade: B-
I'm not going to bother going any further than that. I'm sure the average grade is going to be a B across the major sports networks for our 2012 draft. Not my problem if you choose to drink straight lemon juice and believe we had a bad draft.
As for the ireland front and center sucks threads, come up with something new and it'll stick. but the majority of the fans are tired of the same old ****. I'm merging the refried beans.
Jones is a strong safety. He doesn't have deep, make-up speed. Jones might be the best strong safety in football.
Grade: A
2009: Grade: B-
2010: Grade: B+
2011: Grade: B-
There's a chance Pouncey, Jones and maybe Odrick will be the only players left on the team after next season from those 4 drafts so forgive me for not taking draft grades less than a year removed from the actual draft too seriously.
To draft a fat always hurt Left freaking tackle? Wtf is wrong with us! For everyones sake I really hope in 3-5 years Tannehill is holding high the Vince Lombardi trophy more than once for that matter!
P.S No SUPERBOWL TEAMS HAVE STAR LEFT TACKLES! Such an over rated stupid position in this days football!
Tannehill 17
Deshaun Watson is the TRUTH!

Alessi is a family owned Italian design company, founded in 1921. Giovanni Alessi, a talented sheet metal worker, produced items by hand for the table and home out of copper, brass and nickel-silver. He was later joined by his son Carlo who was responsible for many of the designs produced in the 1930s and early 1940s. In the mid 1940s Alessi began to work with outside designers. The current Alessi catalog is the result of a collaboration with over 500 designers from all over the world.
"A true work of design must be able to move people, to convey feelings, to trigger memories, to surprise, to go against the grain. From this point of view, design intended to conjure up images in people's minds, which makes them a bit happier, still has tremendous potential." --Alberto Alessi
Born in La Spezia, 1954, Stefano Giovannoni graduated in Architecture in Florence in 1978 and lives and works in Milan. Since 1979 he has taught and done research at the Florence Faculty of Architecture; he is master-professor at Domus Academy in Milan and at the Università del Progetto in Reggio Emilia.

"The Bush Clean Air Act actually produced dirtier air than was allowed under Clinton. The Bush Clean Water Act meant dirtier water. The first campaign promise he broke in 2001 was his promise to lower CO2 emissions. He spent seven years deriding climate change as voodoo science, only admitting the severity of the problem on his way out the door. Under his leadership, the U.S. went from a world leader on this front to a poster child for bad climate policy."
Please give empirical evidence or some factual explanation of how these two acts produced dirtier air and dirtier water. I would like to know more. As far as being a poster child for bad climate policy, how am I worse off because of it?
"From this Bush Doctrine has come policy decisions to allow torture, to hold prisoners in Guantanamo without trial or due process, to allow the federal government to wiretap citizens' phone conversations without oversight or constraint."
How many people have been tortured and how were they tortured? What is your recommendation for dealing with the enemy combatants held at GITMO? How many innocent US citizens have been wiretapped while having phone conversations with innocent foreigners? And again, how are we worse off? On the positive side, we are better off because these policies as part of an overarching strategy have prevented additional terrorist attacks on US soil since 9/11. I suspect that after today, when Obama gets his first real security briefing, he will have a very different perspective on foreign policy and you may find that his foreign policy positions during the primaries will fall by the wayside when he's the one forced to make the decisions.
"Bush policies, pushed by Dick Cheney, have also undermined the separation of powers delineated in the U.S. Constitution, with the executive branch of government usurping the constitutional responsibilities of the Congress."
Which responsibilities have been usurped and how? I have a copy of the Constitution here right now. I would like to know which powers have moved from Article I to Article II.
"There are many, many more examples of policies, both foreign and domestic, that the next president will have to deal with in trying to correct the mess Bush and Cheney are leaving behind. Most Americans, both Democratic and Republican, are glad to see an end to the Bush Administration and the misguided policies they spawned."
And again, this is a generality and an opinion. Not a single fact in that paragraph. Actually, I'm not sure we could find a fact in the whole post. What is the mess? Why are "most Americans" glad to see Bush go? As I said before, they've been repeatedly told that Bush is bad, but they cannot express why.
I guess I should give up. Bush is stupid. Cheney is evil. America is the bad guy. We need Obama to help improve our image in the world so that everyone will like us and stop trying to punish us for all the terrible things we've done. The Iraqis and the Middle East would be much better off if we had left Saddam in power. Then the Iranians wouldn't want to eliminate Isreal, North Korea wouldn't be developing nuclear weapons, Russia wouldn't be rattling sabers and China wouldn't be the next big threat. All of this is due to eight years of failed Bush policies. I sure hope the next four can fix it all.

'Good and evil' colloquium planned for April 25-26
Posted April 18, 2003; 05:40 p.m.
In his address at the West Point commencement in June 2002, President Bush declared America to be "in a conflict between good and evil," insisting that "America will call evil by its name." On April 25-26, the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs will present a colloquium titled "A World of Good and Evil? The Return to Morality in Public and International Affairs."
The event will explore the implications of a return to morality -- or at least the rhetoric of morality -- in public life by bringing together prominent scholars, policymakers and practitioners from around the globe. Lectures, panels and roundtable discussions will run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday in McCosh Hall, Robertson Hall and the Computer Science Building.
Participants will address the ethical and policy considerations underlying key foreign and domestic policies, ranging from homeland security and the confrontation with Iraq to the Monterrey Declaration and global public health. In all these areas, speakers will ask the fundamental question: Is the dichotomy of good and evil the appropriate way to view the challenges facing the global community?
Centers, programs and departments across the University will sponsor sessions. Historians will consider the antecedents of American unilateralism; philosophers will debate the moral and ethical dimensions of the good and evil dichotomy; economists and practitioners will analyze its effects on global welfare; and political scientists and diplomats will discuss its effects on the structure of the international system and America's place.
Keynote speakers will include: Brady Kiesling, a career diplomat who has served in U.S. embassies from Tel Aviv to Athens and who made international headlines in late February after resigning in protest against Bush administration policies on Iraq; and Dennis Ross, the former special Middle East coordinator under President Clinton and a point person in both the Bush and Clinton administrations responsible for exploring ways to settle the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
A complete schedule is available online, and much of the conference will be Webcast .
Following the colloquium, which is free and open to the public, a report will be posted on the site to stimulate debate in both academic and policy circles.

By Dennis Seid/NEMS Daily Journal
TUPELO – Tupelo Furniture Market officials wrapped up their spring market on Sunday, proclaiming it a good show – but also indicating it would consider moving the date.
TFM President Kevin Seddon said the consensus was that the four-day market had continued the momentum from the fall show, which marked its 25th anniversary.
"Generally, we think it went well," he said. "You'll always have some who didn't do as well as they wanted, and the issue of timing of the market with tax season always comes up in discussion."
Preregistration for the market was up, but Seddon said those numbers wouldn't be finalized until later this week. He did say overall attendance was higher than the past two markets, with the bulk of the traffic arriving Wednesday and Thursday.
Some exhibitors said this year's spring market – held a week later than usual – made it more difficult for them and buyers to attend since it was in the middle of the lucrative tax season. They said the smaller retailers want to be in their stores selling to customers with their tax refund checks, and aren't coming to the market on weekends.
While not firmly committing to changing the date of the spring market, Seddon said, "we're going to do what will benefit our exhibitors and our buyers the most."
For other exhibitors, they couldn't have been happier.
Al Wiygul, who recently took over as CEO of Ecru-based American Furniture, said his company had a "great market."
"I really didn't know what to expect, to be honest, but whatever it was, it was better than I thought it would be," he said.
Keith Jackson of Catnapper also said his Tennessee-based company had seen increased traffic.
Virgin Henry of New Albany-based Southern Seating said the company had a "great market."
"We wrote more orders Wednesday than the entire last market," he said. "Great turnout of top 100 buyers."
Verno, Piehl, vice president of sales for Houston, Texas-based Largo International, said business during the spring market exceeded any other previous market.
That's welcome news to Seddon and the market, which worked furiously to attract more buyers and exhibitors to the show.
Seddon said the spring market was practically a sellout, and he expected similar demand for showroom space in the fall.
"We're very pleased with the show. … we always want more, but we're happy," he said. "We've kept the momentum going."
Up Next
THE FALL Tupelo Furniture Market will be held Aug. 15-18.

Microcephaly is a condition in which a person's head size is much smaller than that of others of the same age and sex. Head size is measured as the distance around the top of the head. A smaller than normal size is determined using standardized charts.
Microcephaly most often occurs because the brain does not grow at a normal rate. The growth of the skull is determined by brain growth. Brain growth takes place while a baby is in the womb and during infancy.
Conditions that affect brain growth can cause smaller than normal head size. These include infections, genetic disorders, and severe malnutrition.
Genetic conditions that cause microcephaly include:
Other problems that may lead to microcephaly include:
Most often, microcephaly is diagnosed at birth or during routine well-baby exams. Talk to your health care provider if you think your infant's head size is too small or not growing normally.
Most of the time, microcephaly is discovered during a routine exam. Head measurements are part of all well-baby exams for the first 18 months. Tests take only a few seconds while the measuring tape is placed around the infant's head.
The health care provider will keep a record over time to determine:
It may also be helpful to keep your own records of your baby's growth. Talk to your health care provider if you notice that the baby's head growth seems to be slowing down.
If your health care provider diagnoses your child with microcephaly, you should note that in your child's personal medical records.

In the early nineteenth century, a man named William Miller came to the conclusion that the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, spoken of in both the Old and New Testaments, was imminent. In fact, his careful calculations revealed the year this was to take place as 1843.
On display are eight of the 36 charts from Aurora University's Jenks Memorial Collection of Adventual Material. The charts were visual aids used at church services and camp meetings to teach about the prophecies, which Miller believed were about to come to fruition.
The exhibit, curated by AU students in the MST2200 Museum Exhibitions course, also includes photographs, letters and scrapbooks from the collection. This exhibit was awarded the 2012 Award of Excellence from the Illinois Association of Museums.
The exhibit will be on display:
Friday, October 5 - Friday, December 14, 2012.
Gallery hours are:
8 a.m. - 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday;
8 a.m. - 5 p.m. Friday;
and 1 - 4 p.m. Sunday.

Feeling tired.
My father died slightly after my last journel entry. The funeral was three days after my birthday.
While I didn't have a good relationship with my father, it still hit me rather hard. Especially considering that a majority of my family weren't all that displeased to have him pass. I ended up giving his eulogy, and being the only one that could express any love, or compassion about him. He was definitely a hard man to love. And he was an abuser for most of my life. But he also managed to show me things that have shaped me since.
He worked for the phone company before (and after) it fragmented into the Baby Bells. When I was very young (maybe 7), he introduced me to unix on a teletype. Nothing entirely special there, because I was too young to entirely understand it, but its nice to know what happened in retrospect.
Later, he bought me an Apple II (and a Timex Sinclair), which put me on the road towards programming. At the end of grade school, we got a fast (300 bps) modem, and he introduced me to the BBS scene.
There are fragements of memories, wisps of good times that I remember him having with me... pushing me towards a better me then I believed in.
And despite the drifting apart that we did over the years, I miss the parts of him that I maintain in my memories.

Music in a Hurry: Standard Transcriptions
By Kevin Whitehead, Contributor
When the Roots signed on as Jimmy Fallon's Late Night house band, there was a curious catch: NBC wouldn't be paying for the rights to any music, not even the band's own. Consequently. the Roots had to compose dozens of new pieces for on-air use. The upside: those pieces needed only be long enough to play the show in and out of commercials, or to accompany guests from the wings to the desk. Everything old becomes… more »

Carl Wilkens will speak. As a humanitarian aid worker, Carl Wilkens moved his young family to Rwanda in the spring of 1990. When the genocide was launched in April 1994, Carl refused to leave, even when urged to do so by close friends, his church and the United States government. Thousands of expatriates evacuated and the United Nations pulled out most of its troops. Carl was the only American to remain in the country. Venturing out each day into streets crackling with mortars and gunfire, he worked his way through roadblocks of angry, bloodstained soldiers and civilians armed with machetes and assault rifles in order to bring food, water and medicine to groups of orphans trapped around the city. His actions saved the lives of hundreds.
Mr. Yassir A. Kori was born in 1971 in the Nuba Mountains region of the Southern Kordufan province of central Sudan. He is a member of the Nuba tribe. Mr. Kori fled from his homeland to the United States in 1995 due to the massive human tragedy continuing as a consequence of the Sudanese Civil War that began in 1983. That war took place between the Arabs of North Sudan and African indigenous people of the Southern Sudan and other marginalized areas including the Nuba Mountains and Blue Nile. Mr. Kori is a Christian man who faced severe persecution due to his beliefs.
Dr. Gregory W. Stanton will also speak. Dr. Stanton is Research Professor in Genocide Studies and Prevention at the Institute for Conflict Analysis and Resolution, George Mason University, Arlington, Virginia. Dr. Stanton is the founder (1999) and president of Genocide Watch (website: www.genocidewatch.orgwww.genocidewatch.org) , the founder (1981) and director of the Cambodian Genocide Project, and is the founder (1999) and Chair of the International Campaign to End Genocide. He was the President (2007 - 2009) of the International Association of Genocide Scholars (IAGS.)
Dr. Stanton served in the State Department (1992-1999), where he drafted the United Nations Security Council resolutions that created the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda. In 1994, Stanton won the American Foreign Service Association's prestigious W. Averell Harriman award for 'extraordinary contributions to the practice of diplomacy exemplifying intellectual courage,' based on his dissent from U.S. policy on the Rwandan genocide. He wrote the State Department options paper on ways to bring the Khmer Rouge to justice in Cambodia, and drafted the rules of procedure for that tribunal.
Martin Luther McCoy, aka, Martin Luther, is a dynamic soul singer with a heavy rock sound. He seamlessly traverses the soundscape of class soul/r&b and hip hop while maintaining his singer songwriter roots. Speaks and sings from his heart and has gained a worldwide audience for having one of the most engaging voices of modern times. Martin has continued to release music on his own label, Rebel Soul Records and is now ready to release this third studio LP entitled Love Is the Hero. He has toured with The Roots as a member of their ensemble and has shared stages with the likes of Jill Scott and Dave Matthews and The Red Hot Chili Peppers and many others.
Tumani Onabiyi has been a folkloric artist of African and Diaspora culture for more than three decades. He has worked with an extensive array of artists from all over Africa and the world, as well as many different groups in the Bay Area including Fua dia Congo, Harrambee, Africa Queens, Ceddo, Bantaba, and many more. He has travelled and performed in Africa at Festac 77, Cultural Exchange Tour with the Lagos State Council of the Arts, Nigeria, Nelson Mandela Comes to Oakland, National Summit on Africa, San Francisco, and Washington DC. Tunani has also shared his expertise in educational programs all over the Bay Area for two decades.
Bhi Bhiman is an American original, and yet he seems transported from an era when songs were more important than the pretty faces that delivered them. His rich, bellowing tenor can soothe or explode at a moments notice. His lived-in, knowing delivery belies his years. His songwriting, too, is quick to captivate. Bhis mix of humor and deep empathy puts him in the company of distinguished (and much older) lifelong songsmiths like John Prine, Nick Lowe and Randy Newman. And Bhimans technical, emotive guitar playing rises to the challenge that his striking voice presents. ts fitting, then, that there truly isas far as anyone can tellonly one Bhi Bhiman. His parents, emigrants from Sri Lanka, named the songwriter after Bhima, a central character in an ancient Indian text called The Mahabharata. But Bhimans own American experience was markedly less exotic than his name would implyhe came of age in the 90s in St. Louis, reared on Soundgarden and Nirvana, and later relocated to the Bay Area, where he lives today. Bob Dylan and Stevie Wonder may have first inspired him to write songs, but Bhimans approachcomical, curious, whip-smartremains wholly unique. As a songwriter, Bhi consistently exceeds the expectations that should rightly rest on the shoulders of a well-adjusted twenty-something: He can inhabit any number of disparate characters and make them his own.
Greg Lawson is a teacher, activist, singer, and songwriter who has been involved with the Save Darfur movement through the group Genocide No More- Save Darfur in Redding, CA, since 2006. His songs have been used at various anti-genocide events and rallies around the country. Together with his wife Vicki Ono, Greg has performed throughout Northern California and Oregon, including last Aprils Walk to End Genocide in Oakland. In November 2008 Greg was invited to sing at the Gathering of the Tents of Hope Rally for Darfur on the National Mall in Washington, D C. His song For the Camps has been featured as part StopGenocideNows traveling genocide museum Camp Darfur across the United States and in a YouTube video highlighting the plight of Darfur's refugees. Greg is especially proud to know that Gabriel Stauring of the I-ACT team has shared his music with Darfur refugees living in camps in Eastern Chad.

South Sudan journalist speaks out after illegal detention
Detained without charge for 18 days, tortured, and released without explanation, South Sudanese journalist Peter Ngor plans to fight back. "I am going to sue them [in] court. What they did to me was completely, utterly wrong," said Ngor, the editor of a new, private, English-language daily called Destiny.
Still, Ngor believes that his illegal detention was the work of a few individuals, and that ultimately, the world's newest country will support freedom of the press. "There are powerful individuals who want to stop the press for their own interests," he said.

Diversity & Inclusion
A commitment to public service has always been ingrained in our firm culture. From the early days, when Les Arps served as counsel to the Waterfront Commission and Joe Flom assisted the House Ways and Means Committee, and for more than six decades of our existence, our commitment to public interest work has stood side by side with our commitment to provide the highest quality legal services to our clients.
In the mid-'80s, we were one of the first firms to have a senior lawyer devote a substantial portion of his time to coordinating the firm's pro bono efforts. We have always been staunch supporters of The Legal Aid Society in New York and similar organizations in other cities, providing both legal services and financial support. Our New York and Washington, D.C. offices "lend" attorneys on a rotating basis to work full time for groups providing free legal services to individuals of limited means and small non-profits. Our lawyers have been instrumental in the start-up of organizations created to provide legal services to those in need.
In addition to actual pro bono legal work, our lawyers have been active in a wide variety of charitable endeavors, working with, sitting on boards of, and even running, many types of civic, community, cultural, governmental, educational and medical organizations, a number of which seek to improve the lives of the less fortunate.
A vital indication of the firm's commitment to public interest work is the Skadden Fellowship Foundation, which annually provides two-year fellowships to at least 25 very talented young lawyers so that they may pursue the practice of public interest law on a full-time basis. The foundation has been lauded in both the legal and business press from The New York Times to The Los Angeles Times and the New York Law Journal to the Daily Journal. In its 2010 "U.S. Innovative Lawyers" report, the Financial Times ranked the firm in the top tier in the Responsible Business category in connection with the foundation.
In April 2008, the firm and The City College of New York created a program to increase diversity in law schools and the legal profession. The Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom Honors Program in Legal Studies at The City College of New York provides talented students of diverse racial and socioeconomic backgrounds with the education, groundwork and experience necessary to gain admission to competitive law schools and to succeed as students.
Skadden initially committed approximately $10 million over 10 years to the Honors Program, which welcomed its sixth cohort in the summer of 2014. The program begins with a pre-honors sequence for City College freshmen and sophomores to cultivate their interest in the law and to help recruit interested and talented students as junior- and senior-level program scholars. As of the summer of 2014, more than 150 students, selected through a competitive process, had been admitted to the two-year program, and been accepted at law schools including Yale, UC Berkeley, University of Pennsylvania, NYU, Fordham and Brooklyn Law School, among others.
In addition to financial assistance, the students receive mentoring from Skadden attorneys and other leading legal employers, paid summer internships and an honors curriculum of special courses. The program also includes an endowed professorship.
The Honors Program was featured in the New York Law Journal and The New York Sun, and Senior Partner Joe Flom was profiled in the New York Law Journal.

Fire up the grill for easy appetizer pizzas starring prebaked crusts, bacon, garlic-herb cream cheese, tomatoes and basil.
Watch pizzas carefully. Each grill heats and cooks differently. If the lowest setting of your grill seems too hot, move pizzas to a cooler part of the grill. You could also turn off a burner if your grill has more than one burner.
To bake pizzas, heat oven to 375°F. Place pizzas on cookie sheet. Bake 6 to 8 minutes or until toppings are warm. Sprinkle basil over pizzas.
Use a kitchen scissors to easily cut the fresh basil leaves.

I finally opened up GDO Cliffjumper and Springer. The packaging bubble totally obscured it and I ordered anyhow so I would not have caught it but his roof has a paint chip along with scratches making it nowhere near the quality of my SDCC Terrorcon CJ. QC flaws aside, it's still not as good as I was hoping for it to be.
GDO Springer's quality was much better. I have Tomahawk and didn't like it that much but somehow the Springer repaint seems like such a great improvement.
GDO Wheelie will be the next one I open.
In the meantime, I've started to add silver to a lot of FE Optimus' brown torso parts to get him to look more show accurate. The unpainted truck panels don't bother me so much as the unpainted ab area so I felt compelled to do something about it.

-Other decorated flower carts pulled by tractors and ATV's
-Rhythm-less dancing girls following a car with a boom box in the trunk
-Various beauty contestants on a carts and on the roofs or hoods of car
-Another school band
- Adorable costumed children riding in the back of trucks
-Adolescents walking wearing old cowboy garb and basket style backpacks overflowing with wildflowers.

-Senior citizens were represented by a group of older ladies walking with canes following behind a truck with the most senior lady propped on chair in the back.
-A group of Cabolleros on horses
-Cabolleras? on horses
-A fleet of 6 yellow taxis
The procession was a bit short and they did their best to prolong the parade. About 30 minutes after the first guy left the plaza to lead the parade, he returned by a different road to the other side of the plaza.
The show was great. It's lack of polish added to the FUN of the whole event.
That night, we enjoyed a great soup at wonderful El Patio, Restaurant Bar on Calle Galeana. Tastefully decorated with heavy wooden tables in covered courtyard. Good music and friendly attentive staff. www.elpatiomazamitla.com
Business was non-existent and we were the only customers. This surprised us being the Flower Fest time. The owner said they were 'new' and don't have a following yet... We hope they make it because they really try hard.
A classical music group was on the bandstand when we strolled past the Plaza after dinner. The orchestra played really badly. Later Dave speculated that they were trying to play Gershwin's 'Summertime'. Michelle had her doubts and did not recognize any melody in their squeaks and drones.
