GLORY 4 Tokyo airing live on Premier Sports in the UK
- Written by Rian Scalia
Quite a substantial amount of our viewership is from the UK, so I thought it would be fitting to let all our viewers there know that they'll be able to watch GLORY 4 Tokyo live.
GLORY 4 Tokyo will air live in the UK on Premier Sports. The event starts live at 12:30 PM UK time. Note that it's just the GLORY 4 Tokyo portion of the card, and not the combined full event with DREAM 18.
Premier Sports is available as a subscription channel to SKY platform users in the UK, including Northern Ireland. There will also be a stream on premiersports.tv for those who do not have SKY..
The full fight card, featuring a 16 man, one night tournament with a total of $600 000 on the line that consists of the likes of Peter Aerts, Semmy Schilt, Remy Bonjasky, Gokhan Saki and Daniel Ghita, can be viewed here.

I'm in Landover.
Bowie is wierd. There is a KB Outlet store in the Bowie Towncenter, and right down the street next to Walmart and Giant, there is a KB Toyworks. They are within a mile of each other. The only Star Wars items the outlet store has are some EP1 Darth Mauls and Commtech Readers ($3).
I'm glad I bought that last line of POTJ online because I have never Teebo/BoShek wave in the stores around here. Hopefully, they will turn up on clearance somewhere like the POTF2 did.
I doubt I'll be getting much hunting in the next 2 weeks since my mother in law is coming to visit. Although, she knows I like Star Wars...
Most of my collection is open now, since there is no point in trying to keep the boxes in good condition. They are more fun that way too.

10.20: Modern Biodiversity
How well do you know life on Earth?
It's possible that you could wake up on Earth right now and still not recognize the planet. That's because of the incredible diversity of species. Habitats that you've never encountered would be inhabited by organisms that you've never seen or known about.
Modern Biodiversity
There are more than 1 million species of plants and animals known to be currently alive on Earth (Figure below) and many millions more that have not been discovered yet. The tremendous variety of creatures is due to the tremendous numbers of habitats that organisms have evolved to fill.
There is an amazing diversity of organisms on Earth. How do the organisms in this picture each make their living?
Many adaptations protect organisms from the external environment (Figure below).
Cacti have thick, water- retaining bodies that help them conserve water.
Other adaptations help an organism move or gather food. Reindeer have sponge-like hoofs that help them walk on snowy ground without slipping and falling. Hummingbirds have long, thin beaks that help them drink nectar from flowers. Organisms have special features that help them avoid being eaten. When a herd of zebras run away from lions, the zebras' dark stripes confuse the predators so that they have difficulty focusing on just one zebra during the chase. Some plants have poisonous or foul-tasting substances in them that keep animals from eating them. Their brightly colored flowers serve as a warning.
Poison dart frogs have toxins in their skin. Their bright colors warn potential predators not to take a bite!
Thousands of northern elephant seals — some weighing up to 4,500 pounds — make an annual migration to breed each winter at Año Nuevo State Reserve in California. Marine biologists are using high-tech tools to explore the secrets of these amazing creatures.

NEW ROADS (AP) — Bond has been set at $1 million for a 24-year-old man arrested on a charge of first-degree murder in death of his 91-year-old grandmother.
The Advocate reported that Pointe Coupee Parish deputies arrested Brandon Battley this week at a hospital in Lafayette and charged him in the death of grandmother, Beulah Morris, whose body was found Tuesday on the kitchen floor of her home.
Sheriff Bud Torres says Morris died from blunt-force trauma to the head.
Morris' body was discovered by Battley's mother who said Wednesday she went to check on her mother after learning from her brother that Beulah Morris hadn't answered the door when he knocked.
Torres says Battley had admitted himself to Acadia Vermilion Hospital, citing mental issues.
Bond was set Friday during a court hearing.

The main sign of vitiligo is color (pigment) loss that produces light or white patches on your skin. Usually, the discoloration first shows on sun-exposed areas, such as the hands, feet, arms, face and lips.
Vitiligo signs include:
Vitiligo can start at any age, but most often appears before age 20.
Depending on the type of vitiligo you have, the discolored patches may cover:
It's difficult to predict how your disease will progress. Sometimes the patches stop forming without treatment. In most cases, pigment loss spreads and eventually involves most of your skin. Rarely, the skin gets its color back.
See your doctor if areas of your skin, hair or eyes lose coloring. Vitiligo has no cure. But treatment may help to stop or slow the discoloring process and return some color to your skin.

Andersen adjusting to new situation
Tries to build "trust" in football program
MADISON - Badger head football coach Gary Andersen has been on the job in Madison for a little over three months and he's been immersed in that job from day one.
It's been a whirlwind from the time the plane touched down from Logan, Utah last December.
Slowly, but surely, Andersen is finding his way around town.
" I can get home without the GPS which is nice," Andersen says. " I'm just happy I've got my own bed now , the house, the dogs are here, Stacy's here full time, so we're moving around a lot better than we were."
Change has been everywhere around Badger football over the last couple of seasons. Andersen says since everyone's in the same boat learning to get along with each other, it's actually brought everyone together.
"The first day we walked in and one of the first things I used was the word trust to the young men in the program," Andersen says.
"Trust is not something we just throw out there and it happens-- it's definitely earned and I think after two and a half months-- three months, we're starting to trust each other - trust is a two-way street-- the young men to the coaches, the coaches to the young men and all of us as a team so we're definitely making strides there"

User Ratings
User Reviews
Amazingly fast and simple software. Beats all the other paid stuff out there.
Basically, it is the only tool you need with your CD burning work.
Been using Burn as a quick simple tool for burning DVDs for the film festival I work with (fyi, we had an Oscar nominated filmmaker come and he mentioned he also uses Burn). Would love to have the option to have the DVD setup with chapters instead of titles. I often make compilation discs with a number of short films, but they burn as titles so using the next/previous buttons on a DVD player don't work. Otherwise, great product. You've made my job so much easier!
What can I say? Its fast, easy, way more usefull than Mac's iDVD... even has a DVD-Audio creator WOW! IMPOSIBLE better.
This is an Amazing thing to have. I recommend.

Save time on cooking! This chicken and leek strata recipe can be done ahead and requires only baking to serve anytime.
Instead of chicken or turkey, use a 14 3/4-ounce can of red or pink salmon, drained and flaked.
Purchase leeks with brightly colored leaves and an unblemished white portion. The smaller the leek, the more tender it will be. Refrigerate in a plastic bag up to 5 days. Before using, trim the root and leaf ends. Slit the leeks from top to bottom and wash thoroughly to remove dirt trapped between leaf layers.

The adjacent resistor is called "reset pullup". In normal operation of the microcontroller it will keep the reset pin at "logic high", which is the positive supply voltage. If the reset pin would actually go to "logic low", which is at a much lower voltage, the microcontroller would stop its operation until the pin assumes a "logic high" status.

This page is meant to give you a understanding of the workings in your LED cube. We will try to avoid common electronics slang, thus this is especially suitable for you if you are not familiar with electronics. If you are, however, you are probably better of simply having a look at the schematics and your cube itself - it is not complex in any aspect.
The Cube Structure
We will first explain the cube structure and then work our way to the USB connector. First of all, some basic understanding on how you work with LEDs.
LEDs are very handy and mostly nice-looking devices which is the reason we chose to create this cube kit. Usually, if you connect a LED to a battery, there is a characteristic of the LED you have to take into consideration. For batteries with very low voltage ratings, your LED will not emit light. If you slowly increase the voltage, for example by using different batteries, or, if you are more used to electronics, use a variable voltage source, you will see that at some voltage, current will start to flow through the LED and it lights up. This depends on the color (or the technology) of the LED. Red LEDs for example start to light up at about 1.5 V. However, in contrast to a light bulb, which will not get much brighter or draw much more current at higher voltages, the LED will! Thus, if you want to connect a LED to a commonly available voltage source with a fixed voltage, it is necessary to add a resistor to the circuit which is able to limit this current. So, if you want to connect an LED to a battery, the circuit will look somewhat like this:
Please notice that I have used two colors for the wires: black and blue. You can use these colors to find the same wires in future schematics.
Now, we are not interested to always light up an LED, but we want to be able to switch them off and on to display different patterns on our cube. Thus we add a switch:
With this circuit we can control the LED with the switch. If the switch is closed, the LED lights up. If it is opened, the LED is off. You may have wondered that you do not see this switch on your own LED cube: The switch is included in the microcontroller (the largest device on your board) and controlled by a program that is running on it. Thus you do not have to switch your LED off and on manually, but it is cone automatically.
However, we are not nearly done. We do not have only one LED, we have 27 in a 3 * 3 * 3 cube! So, let's add further LEDs to our circuit, which will give us one plane of your cube:
This is quite a bit more complex. Please take some time looking at this diagram. You can clearly see that the "Switch-Resistor-LED" construct has simply been duplicated until we had nine of them. The battery is still only one - we can connect all of these constructs to the same battery. Notice especially that you can already recognize that this is one plane of your cube. The black wires are going downwards, the blue wire is used to connect the short pins of the LEDs together and is then going down separately, using only one wire. Using this pattern and our intelligent switches within our microcontroller we are already able to display two-dimensional patterns.
But, that's not enough! We need two additional planes. The first idea that comes to ones mind may be to again add two copies of that plane, leading to 27 LEDs, 27 Resistors and 27 Switches, and be done. However, this would be quite problematic: One would first of all require a device which has enough switches, is able to bear the current required by the LEDs to light up. Also, we would have a big mess of wires in our cube which will probably not be as nice at one would with their cube to be. So, we are now doing something which is called multiplexing. Don't be scared of this word, it is really easy and we will develop it step by step.
First, we simply add additional planes of LEDs, however we connect all LEDs together at the lead to the resistor. Thus, three LEDs share one resistor and one LED:
But, you see a big, red question mark in this diagram: How to we connect the opposite wires of the LEDs? Well, we could for example do this:
Now, (as you may have already guessed) this is not the best idea. If we now close one switch, the three LEDs that share one resistor and switch will all light up. (Probably only, actually. Something else is possible, but I will not go into it in this document as this would only confuse you.) This is not what we want, as always complete columns would be on. We need a way to disable the other three LEDs if we only wish to switch on one at a time. And the solution is, you probably guessed it, we add some switches:
Now we are able to switch on a single LED, for example by switching on one blue and one black switch:
This is nice! We are able to control single LEDs! However, if you want to switch on multiple LEDs we will again hit a bump. If these multiple LEDs are on the same plane, we have no problem. However, if we want to enable LEDs on different planes that are not in the same column, we will experience an effect called ghosting: Two additional LEDs will light up. For example, if we close two switches at opposing edge LEDs we get two additional edge LEDs lighting up:
There is no way to fix this electrically - this is the price you have to pay for multiplexing. However, the cubes are still able to display any pattern you want, even two LEDs of different columns in different planes: The switches we are using are *really* fast, much faster than your eye. Thus the microcontroller will only enable one plane at a time and then show you the image on that plane. Then it will go on to the next plane and display this 2D image and so on. This is then done so fast that you are unable to see it and the cube seems to be illuminated completely all the time.
Now, just for completeness: The blue switches are different from the black switches. You will see that the full current of one plane has to be handled by them. Depending on your resistors, this can be quite much for hobby electronics. Also, the microcontoller is not able to handle those currents. Thus, there is a second IC on the board, called "ULN2003". This is simply an array of switches which are able to handle much more current. Thus, the circuit actually looks somewhat like this:
The Microcontoller and Its Periphery
There is not as much to understand about the microcontroller than about the cube. However, there are some things we can show you:
The Oscillator
The microcontroller is a synchrnous device - and as such it requires a clock. What synchronous means, is actually fairly irrelevant, but implied by the word: Everything happens synchronously. This is the reasyon this clock is required - as a signal when "things" should happen.
The clock for the microcontroller is provided by a crystal. To see how such a crystal works, have a look at [1]. The microcontroller basically excites a device like a tuning fork which then gives it a fairly accurate frequency. (There is much more behind that, but let's leave it at that.) It may be interesting to note that the fork is oscillating at 16 MHz, that are sixteen million oscillations per second.
Programming Header and Reset Resistor
You have probably noticed the big unpopulated 2 * 5 pin area on your board with an adjacent 10 kOhm resistor. This header can be used to upload new programs (which you can also do via USB) to the microcontroller or connect additional devices to it, like a bigger memory, for example
The adjacent resistor is called "reset pullup". In normal operation of the microcontroller it will keep the reset pin at "logic high", which is the positive supply voltage. If the reset pin would actually go to "logic low", which is at a much lower voltage, the microcontroller would stop its operation until the pin assumes a "logic high" status.
Transistor Array
The aforementioned transistor array, which contains the "blue" switches for the planes is connected to three microcontroller pins. These three pins control which switch is currently closed.

Is Cold Calling Painful For You? It's not your fault -- and there is a better way
Old "tried and true" cold calling and sales techniques that were once successful have completely lost their effectiveness over the years. That's why I developed a new sales mindset and cold calling approach that will quickly and automatically put you ahead of the game and instantly in a league above your competition.
OLD SALES GURU MYTH # 1 - "Cold calling is a numbers game." But, sales is only a numbers game when all you know is traditional selling. Yes, you can call people over and over, chase them until they listen to you so that you just go away. However there is a better - easier method of building trust and getting your product or service message across - all on one call. Simply by changing your sales approach you'll make FEWER CALLS and MORE SALES.
OLD SALES GURU MYTH # 2 - "Use a sales script to cold call." People can tell when you're reading from a script, even if you think you're pretty good at it and getting away with it. There's nothing personal about it and people can pick that up. Being artificial just puts you into the typical "Salesperson" category. If you can learn to get your message across in a different way, you'll eliminate the negative triggers that can lose your sale within seconds.
OLD SALES GURU MYTH # 3 - "Focus on closing the sale." Are you "going in for the kill" with your closing sale technique? - If you are, you could end up killing your deal instead. Old sales techniques do nothing more than pressure the client or prospect, and as a result they naturally want to retreat away from that pressure - and that pressure is you. By learning to avoid the "push and pull" dynamic between you and your prospect, you'll be able to move the sales process forward to get the result you want.
Welcome to Unlock The Game™Unlock The Game is a radically honest sales and cold calling approach based on integrity and common sense. It challenges traditional sales thinking and helps you achieve better sales results. It's the missing link -- a new mindset and language that converts selling into a natural conversation between you and your prospect.
It offers you a new way of thinking about selling, from cold calling -- the most dreaded selling experience of all -- to the end of the sales process.
You don't have to abandon the selling skills you already know -- Unlock The Game gives you a new approach and new tools to help you let go of old behaviors that bring you negative results. It's incredibly effective. Best of all, it's easy to learn.

I'm no kind of pro wrestling fan, but the Nature Boy transcends the "sport". Ric Flair lives in or around Charlotte, about 2 hours S.W. of here and is well known in the area. He was adopted by the Carolina Hurricanes hockey club as a local personality to help draw fans. After every goal the Hurricanes score, they play a clip of Flair on the jumbotron saying "That's a Carolina Hurricanes Goal! Woooo - Woooo - Woooo!" and the fans join in.
Several years ago, the Hurricanes had Ric Flair as a guest at one of the games. They did a meet & greet for a few fans with the players after the game at the Arena Club. It was good fun. The size of the guys who were body guards looking out for Flair was kind of amazing. I didn't realize people got that big.

Original post by u235
I'll volunteer as a judge. Due to my work schedule I won't be able to participate, but I'll be able to do some judging.
Can't decide whether to try entering. I'm so used to setting up a decent framework that after 3 hours I'd probably have just got ready to start! Maybe I'll do a practice run on one of the last two themes and see how it goes.

It was really easy to do. I just repurposed the headband that came with the mic to make a round shape that would fit over an earpad, and used a bit of shrink wrap tubing to make it look clean.
And this is what I use currently:
It's a headband of a normal xbox mic glued on to the ear support mounting system of a bluetooth xbox mic. Not included in the picture is the earpiece from the normal mic. I glued that on to effectively have a normal xbox mic, but wireless (and comfortable!- the standard wireless mic was very uncomfortable for me). I can even rotate the mic relative to the headband still.

Does anyone else find it curious that the Uber Powerful Insurance lobby is remaining openly silent on this issue?
Me suspects that behind the scenes they are very comfortable with the beaurocrats they have in place at Health and Human Services and elsewhere that will implement this law.
I doubt very much that the best interests of Joe taxpayer will take precedence over the interests of the Insurance lobby.
I'm also guessing that when all is said and done that people like M&K's Retriever's opposition will fade.
I would hope that the law will be declared unconstitutional, as it clearly is not an enumerated power in the Constitution; but I hold out little hope as that part of the Constitution had been trampled into the dust years ago.

Thanks for the quick response. Do you take your lo(invite) on a thumbdrive or disk? Also, I am doing 5x7 and when I printed it myself I put 2 next to each other on the paper. How would I get this ready for them to print?
Oh save some money go directly to office max office depot or you local rinter and bring your own card stock LOL or pay for the extra money for theirs I think kinkos is a tad pricer for printing but CHECK 1st I am not trying togive a bad wrap to a compnay ok!! I print al the time at office max/ office depot for cards and my local printer (he has the largest variety of paper to use too! might be 25 cent's more to print but well woth it in my eyes for top quality printing !
ps....Office depot prints photo now!!

Not sure what program you are using but when I print out something like this (or even my layouts) I print the original file - I only change it to a jpeg for submission to various things - try printing out your original file - it works best for me. Just a thought.
Good Morning Ladies! I am making 5X7 adoption shower invitations for a friend and have run a sample on my printer on regular printing paper. The print quality is not great- see printing streaks, and I did print my jpeg file. I was wondering if using cardstock, which is what I was planning on doing, will change this look or if I need to go to Kinkos and take my file on a thumbdrive or cd and let them print it to get better quality. I have a HP photosmart 309 series printer. I don't know if maybe I need to print these on matte photopaper instead. I would prefer cardstock to look like a real invitation. The lo is really adorable because I have his picture on it and this will be the first picture some of the guests will see of him, so I want it to be great! Thanks for all the purple help! Love being on SGs.

So the DUE does not have internal EEPROM at all?
Is there usable, non-volatile memory in the RTC? Since the RTC is reset with each power-On or Reset, it is mostly useless, so if it has real EEPROM, that could be used?

and I couldn't stop laughing at that quote from Dwight. It's so glorious and Dwight-esque.
Rebo- I don't know if I buy that. I think they might be trying to throw us off, or perhaps this will lead into the spinoff that is planned? Maybe Ryan gets fired or demoted back to Scranton due to this drug problem and Toby takes his place and that sets up the spinoff? I did read on NBC.COM that the episode was called "Goodbye, Toby" but perhaps somebody just says that to him? It just seems too obvious. Either way, I hope he doesn't leave as he always cracks me up.

"Woke up at 9.55am. Soon as I woke up, I looked at Suzanne and she looked at me. I said, 'Did I tell you about the immune system?' Suzanne starting laughing, I said, 'it's amazing.' She said, 'Not now.'"
All this talk about a spinoff needs to end...is NBC trying to kill this thing ???
The Dwight stuff was the best, but Toby's ackward moment with Pam was pretty good.
Are you a hobbit?
Infinities will be Ryan's downfall. Count on it.
I thought this week was a little too serious at times...but still had some funny moments.
They need more basic themes sometimes, like Halloween or Sexual Harassment, etc.
This week's episode title looks like a promising premise.
Did I stutter?

I thought tonight's episode was awesome!!! We are now officially back to The Office of old!!!
That being said, next weeks finale is an hour long so it could go downhill again.
"That's the best deal you're gonna get. I won't tell you you can save yourself, because you can't."
I thought last night's episode was garbage.
I don't know but the show hasn't made me laugh in a long time. It's mildly amusing in spots but that's it. I'll probably watch next week's finale but that may be it. Just don't look forward to the show anymore.
Michael just makes me uncomfortable with his complete ineptitude and lack of sensitivity. It has always bothered me and it is finally coming to a head I think. I know he's supposed to be funny acting like this but I never was into that type of humor.
Very good show last night, Creed stole the show with "Let's ditch this b**ch" and calling Angela "Pumpkin."
Good stuff last night.

That being said, I fully support the need for Unions in the private sector, it is the only balance between the potential abuses by management and the working guy! The key point here is that without the power of the union, workers cannot stop management from doing bad things to them.
I totally do not support Unions in the Public Sectors because the members already have a way to get rid of management by going to the voting booths, in mass and voting them out of office! If they also have the power of the union on top of the voting capabilities, the have too much leverage over their management. That frequently results in collusion between the labor management and the public sector management. You scratch my back, and I will scratch yours.....! When this happens, and it does, we all lose! e.g....IRS, NEA, NLRB, etc. etc. etc.....
Swampy, please share with us what you do for a living. Although I probably have no idea how to do your job, this should not prevent me for telling you how lousy you are doing and how you could be better at it.
Thanks in advance!
Still waiting...
I want to hear how YOU are helping to make the world a better place. How do you contribute to society??? Or are you just a "taker" that constantly complains?
Your silence on this matter speaks louder than your words.

By Brad Locke/NEMS Daily Journal
STARKVILLE – Trevor Fitts grew a hopeful beard last Christmas.
When he returned to school for the spring semester, the Mississippi State sophomore pitcher was still scruffy, and he was eager to see whether he'd be allowed to keep his facial growth. His coach, John Cohen, had a long-held policy prohibiting facial hair, but Fitts had made his case for a change.
Cohen relented, which explains why Fitts, Ben Bracewell, Alex Detz, Wes Rea and several other Bulldogs have fuzzy faces heading into the College World Series. No. 14 MSU opens Saturday against No. 4 Oregon State (2 p.m., ESPN2).
Fitts loves his beard, and he often let his teammates know about it. He joked that he should put together a PowerPoint presentation for Cohen, to convince him to relax his anti-facial hair policy.
"A lot of the guys were like, yeah, do it, do it, do it," Fitts said. "So I finally did."
Fitts did his homework. His presentation included the average temperatures for Starkville in February and May, and how a beard could act as a natural sunscreen. He showed pictures of former MSU players who are now sporting facial hair in the big leagues, including Paul Maholm and Mitch Moreland.
He even noted that several past United States presidents grew beards.
Fitts made his pitch just before Christmas, and Cohen told him he'd think about it.
"And I started thinking about it, and I started thinking, is this for me?" Cohen said. "Is having our players clean-shaven, is that for me, or is that for our players? …
"I started thinking about the facial hair. I started thinking about allowing them to have fun, have a good time on the bench, have a good time in our locker room. I suddenly realized, that's important, too."
When the team reconvened, Cohen said players didn't have to stay clean-shaven, but he laid down some guidelines. They could keep their razors stashed away when they won an SEC series, but had to shave when they lost.
Having fun
What Cohen, who's in his fifth year at MSU, realized is that the personality of this team needed to be allowed to express itself. This year's MSU team is a tight-knit group that loves to have fun and keep things loose, and so Cohen didn't want to do anything to suppress that.
"Part of this entire adventure is having fun, and I have failed in that area as a coach in the past, not allowing our kids to have fun," he said. "Because again, that discipline, the way they look, you feel like it's totally a reflection of you. But at the same time, you have to allow them to be individualistic, and I really believe you have to allow them to have fun."
Cohen noted that the beards and the long hair – several players have clearly not visited a barber in months – do not indicate a lack of discipline. He can back up that claim by pointing to the Bulldogs' play, their practice habits and their work in the classroom.
Between the lines, MSU is all business. Elsewhere, well, they just enjoy themselves.
"We have a lot of fun in the dugout, and then the guys that are on the field, they're able to focus up, and then it's business," said Detz, a third baseman and DH. "It's really just a game. You're out there playing, having a good time."
Rea, a first baseman, said a certain "trust level" between players and Cohen is the reason this has worked so well.
"It shows how loose the coaches are on us," second baseman Brett Pirtle said. "We're really mature. We know what we're doing, that's why they're so loose on us, because they let us just go out there and play, not worry about anything."
Fitts has big plans for his beard. He said if MSU wins the national title, he's not going to shave it this offseason. He just loves it too much.

Britain is abuzz with the news that wedding bells will ring for Prince William, who is second in line to the British throne, and Kate Middleton, the woman who may someday become queen. The couple began dating eight years ago. They announced their engagement on Tuesday. Both are 28 years old.
"We're hugely excited," William said Tuesday, on television. "We're looking forward to spending the rest of our lives together." William gave Kate the diamond and sapphire engagement ring that was worn by his mother, Diana, who was once married to William's father, Prince Charles. Diana died in a car crash in 1997.
What is a Monarchy?
The kings and queens of England once ruled the country. But the reform bill of 1832 moved England toward a democratic system of government. In this system, the House of Commons operates like the U.S. House of Representatives, and the prime minister has powers similar to those of the U.S. President.
The current Queen, Elizabeth II, is limited by law from actually ruling. Instead, the Queen and royal family perform ceremonial duties. They entertain foreign visitors, support charities and represent Britain on visits to other countries.
After the announcement of their engagement, British Prime Minister David Cameron wished William and Kate "great joy in their life together."
An Extravagant Event
The ceremony and celebration will be big news for Britain. Most of the money to pay for the wedding will come from the Queen herself, or from a fund provided by Parliament to meet official royal expenses. But security costs will be paid for by British taxpayers. "The couple are mindful of the current economic situation," said one of William's spokesmen.
No date or location has yet been set for the wedding, though it is expected to be held in London. The happy couple sat down with advisers one day after announcing their engagement to form a plan.

5 Reasons I'd Still Be Vegan If I Were a Dude
April 4th, 2014 | by Tanya Sitton
As the vegan movement grows, statistics say it resonates most strongly with women -- at least so far. Of the 2.5 million or so Americans who identify themselves as part of Team Vegan, about 79% are female. Society sends some screwy messages about 'acceptable' gender-based behavior; in this case, those messages may be doing men a disservice. Vegan eating isn't 'a girl thing' -- especially if you're a fellow who values strength, health, environmentalism, and sex!

Family: Mephitidae, Skunks view all from this family
Description A distinctively patterned skunk. White on top of head, back, and tail; black lower portions. Broad nose pad on long snout, naked on top. Enlarged foreclaws. Male slightly larger than female.
Dimensions 500-900 mm; 2.3-4.5 kg
Warning All skunks are highly developed for defense and can spray their foul-smelling musk distances of up to 15 feet. Besides its overpowering odor, the musk can burn the eyes and cause momentary loss of vision.
Habitat Scrub, shrub & brushlands, Forests & woodlands
Range Plains, Rocky Mountains, Southwest, Texas
Discussion Recent work has concluded that the western hog-nosed skunk or common hog-nosed skunk (formerly Conepatus mesoleucus) is the same species as the American hog-nosed skunk, and that Conepatus leuconotus is the correct name of the merged populations. Primarily nocturnal, as are other skunks, this Skunk is known to forage by day in winter, rooting for the insects that are its chief food. This habit gives it its nickname of "Rooter Skunk" It's also knows to eat reptiles, arachnids, mollusks, small mammals, and vegetation. It often makes dens in rocky crevices.

Pearl Brewery Redevelopment
Architect: Lake|Flato Architects
The Pearl Brewery Redevelopment strikes a delicate balance at the intersection of past and present, form and function, and residential and commercial spaces.
The Pearl Brewery Redevelopment strikes a delicate balance at the intersection of past and present, form and function, and residential and commercial spaces.
The core of Houston's East Downtown Redevelopment Plan and the new home of Major League Soccer team the Houston Dynamo, BBVA Compass Stadium, designed by Populous, sets a unique precedent for American sports stadia and innovative design for the region.
Austin's Highland Mall sits largely abandoned. However Barnes Gromatzky Kosarek Architects' proposal for the redevelopment of a former department store, into a new Austin Community College campus, floods the interior with light and activates the exterior with student gathering spaces.
"Shaping the built environment." It's a well-worn phrase for describing what architects are doing every day. As such, it says a lot, but there's also more to say. For example, what about the role of the built environment in shaping people?
Roy is showing his new friend, Emily, around the city. They pause beneath a tree on Flora Street. It's August and the shade offers them a bit of relief from the sun.
While Lubbock is not typically mentioned alongside Marfa and Santa Fe when describing small communities that are defined by their cultural offerings, the city is nevertheless experiencing a remarkable transformation on account of its thriving art scene.
Is it possible for architecture to transform, not just the physical character of a place, but also the behavior and patterns of life of people who live there? Can we think of redevelopment, not just in terms of changing buildings and spaces, but also in terms of altering interactions, attitudes, and lifestyles? Architects would tend to answer "yes" to both questions. And, fortunately, there is evidence to back them up.
Forlorn and neglected, a romantic near-ruin, the former Parkland Hospital sat abandoned and unused for decades at the junction of the Dallas North Tollway and Oak Lawn Avenue. Passersby could glimpse the distinguished older structures (dating back to 1913) nestled under their sentinel oaks, and be curious about what the buildings' fate might be.
With the help of a local group of Latino architects, the west Dallas neighborhood known as La Bajada has organized to retain its cultural identity and single-family homes. The efforts are in response to plans by the City of Dallas to explore redevelopment scenarios that would transform an area along the Trinity River near the downtown into a high-density urban village. The area currently includes several small neighborhoods, one being La Bajada.
One year after her course, The Everyday City, was recognized with an AIA Education Honor Award, University of Texas at Arlington Assistant Professor Wanda Dye has tasked her architecture students with improving the everyday life of all Arlington residents. Through collaboration with City of Arlington staff, their work is a natural extension of the investigations they undertook for The Everyday City. In that class, Dye asked them to re-imagine the most mundane and banal aspects of the suburban environment.
The jury for AIA Fort Worth's 2008 Design Awards convened Oct. 14 at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth where they sifted through 40 projects before selecting nine for distinction.
Recognized with a 2009 Great Places Award, co-sponsored by the Environmental Design Research Association and Metropolis magazine, the West Dallas Gateway suggests redevelopment strategies for a blighted, post-industrial area of the city.
The Ella Wooten Park Pool House, designed by Studio 8 Architects, is located within the redevelopment of Austin's former Mueller Airport. The park serves as a public gathering place that embodies the city in both its locally derived design and emphasis on green technology.
Centered in the heart of Fort Worth's Museum and Cultural District, an exciting new urban redevelopment has been designed by Good Fulton & Farrell Architects of Dallas. Spanning five city blocks, 900,000 square feet, and conveniently situated across University Drive from The Modern Art Museum, the mixed-use complex is projected to re-establish the West 7th Street area as a thriving entertainment and shopping district.
Originated as AIA Lubbock's chapter gift to the city of Lubbock in commemoration of AIA150, the design of the North University Avenue Mercado is complete. This planned indoor/outdoor public plaza in North Lubbock will embrace the art, architecture, and culture of the local Hispanic community at an already identified site targeted for redevelopment.
Redevelopment of the decommissioned Seaholm Power Plant (built 1950-1958) in Austin will transform the 7.8-acre site with a mix of office space, retail shops, condominiums, a boutique hotel, and special event space along the north shore of Lady Bird Lake (formerly Town Lake).

I am continuing my 3 3/4" vehicle thread series.
This will discuss ONLY the vehicle in the title of the thread (in this case a re-release or a new mold of Luke's T-16 Skyhopper from ANH - or ROTJ SE).
I will cover several unmade vehicles for the action figures per week, choosing them from a rotating schedule through the movies and the Expanded Universe.
I'll order it TPM, AOTC, ROTS, ANH, ESB, ROTJ, EU, and then keep going back through the order in that manner.
So here I'm only asking you if you'd buy a new T-16 Skyhopper vehicle from ANH?
When you vote, I think you should specify if you'd like the 1997 ship re-released because you never got it, or if you'd like Hasbro to start over with a new mold.
So do you want this made?
How do you think it would sell if produced?
Do you want to see support for this vehicle demonstrated by inclusion in The Clone Wars Annimated Series?
Previous ANH vehicle poll results were as follows:
YES - Rebel Blockade Runner (Tantive IV)
YES - Lars Family Landspeeder
YES - Dash Rendar's Outrider
YES - Imperial Landing Craft
NO - C-3PO's and R2-D2's Escape Pod
YES - Super Jawa Sandcrawler
??? - Luke's T-16

let me just ask this question: what is more absurd, (1) the GOP is not racist or (2) the term "Chicago" is a coded racist term?
That is utter nonsense. The Whigs died out 60 years before the Global Progressive movement.
Progressivism stems from European Historicism and scholars application of Darwinism to government structure.
i think he pushed it due to political pragmatism, not racism. LBJ was a complete piece of shite (towards everyone who wasn't LBJ) who cared about legacy and power. the CRA allowed him both. he was not a noble political actors by any means
LBJ was a very bad person and a complete slimeball politician
i really do hope that everyone gets to participate in a democratic campaign in urban areas one day
if it doesn't make you sick to your stomach, then i feel bad for you and your objectivity
Uh, what? The Whigs were incorporated into the Republican party.
The Whigs were more than just an anti-slavery program; their industrial policy
as well was an ancestor of modern progressivism.
On the second point, that may be true for Woodrow Wilson, but there are many origins of progessivism beyond darwinism and "European Historicism," whatever that's supposed to be.
We don't have a monopoly on racism but this was the only part of the country that codified it.
Sure, these aren't the sole foundations of the Progressive Ideology, but they are the most fundamental and the greatest contributors.
We don't have a monopoly on racism but this was the only part of the country that codified it.
"I'll have those n*ggers voting Democratic for the next 200 years."
-- Lyndon B. Johnson
To begin with, the record contains numerous "examples of modern instances" of racial discrimination in voting, City of Boerne, 521 U.S. at 530, 117 S.Ct. 2157. Just a few recent examples:
• Kilmichael, Mississippi's abrupt 2001 decision to cancel an election when "an unprecedented number" of African Americans ran for office, H.R.Rep. No. 109-478, at 36-37 (internal quotation marks omitted);
• Webster County, Georgia's 1998 proposal to reduce the black population in three of the education board's five single-member districts after the school district elected a majority black school board for the first time, Voting Rights Act: Section 5 of the Act — History, Scope, and Purpose: Hearing Before Subcomm. on the Constitution of the House Judiciary Comm., 109th Cong. 830-31 (2006) ("History, Scope, and Purpose");
• Mississippi's 1995 attempt to evade preclearance and revive a dual registration system "initially enacted in 1892 to disenfranchise Black voters" and previously struck down by a federal court, H.R.Rep. No. 109-478, at 39;
• Washington Parish, Louisiana's 1993 attempt to reduce the impact of a majority-African American district by "immediately creat[ing] a new at-large seat to ensure that no white incumbent would lose his seat," id. at 38;
• Waller County, Texas's 2004 attempt to reduce early voting at polling places near a historically black university and its threats to prosecute students for [*866] "illegal voting," after two black students announced their intent to run for office, Evidence of Continued Need 185-86.
The legislative record also contains examples of overt hostility to black voting power by those who control the electoral process. In Mississippi, for instance, state legislators opposed an early 1990s redistricting plan that would have increased the number of black majority districts, referring to the plan publicly as the "black plan" and privately as the "n***** plan," Modern Enforcement of the Voting Rights Act: Hearing Before the S. Comm. on the Judiciary, 109th Cong. 22 (2006) ("Modern Enforcement") (internal quotation marks omitted); see also S.Rep. No. 109-295, at 14. In Georgia, the state House Reapportionment Committee Chairman "told his colleagues on numerous occasions, 'I don't want to draw n***** districts,'" H.R.Rep. No. 109-478, at 67 (quoting Busbee v. Smith, 549 F.Supp. 494, 501 (D.D.C.1982)). The district court pointed to numerous additional examples of intentional discrimination in the legislative record. See Shelby Cnty., 811 F.Supp.2d at 472-76, 477-79, 480-81, 481-85, 485-87; see also Nw. Austin, 573 F.Supp.2d at 258-62, 289-301.

My Photos and Reviews: SSG Toy Guide
My Star Wars Fan Film: The Lazy Jedi
I watched Charlie Wilson's War. The Tom Hanks / Julia Roberts movie sets up the present situation in Afghanistan very clearly. We made Osama Bin Laden and al-Quaeda and the Taliban possible with our covert-arms supplies so as to ensnare and exact costs out of the Soviet Union.
We did it so secretly, through Israel, Egypt, and Pakistan, and then we abandoned the Afghans so that they don't really know that it was the US that helped liberate them from the Russians. Therefore, their demagogues haven't had as much trouble persuading their fighters that America is their enemy.
Meanwhile, check out Congressman Wilson's "professional staff," especially Jailbate! This guy knew how to exploit his office (true story). But it also illustrates how taxpayer money gets thrown around Capitol Hill like it means nothing, by people who get lucky if they do some good spending it, but don't have a clue as to what they are really doing half the time.
Anyway, I highly recommend this 2008 movie.

I watched Astro Boy last night and I now understand why it completely flopped at the box office. I had really high hopes for this, but the first 3/4 of the movie turned out to be just a kiddie-fied version of the Kubrick/Spielberg film A.I. from 2001. Tack on 10 minutes of action at the end of the film, make the last 10 seconds the most interesting part of the entire movie, then cut to the credits and hope for a sequel. That pretty much sums up my impression of the movie.
Too slow and introspective for a kid's movie, too shallow and predictable to interest adults.
Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split. - Robert E. Howard
I watched Rambo III.
It was very good and delivered a powerful look into why the Afghan people fight so hard for their independence due to the injustices they have been served by occupying countries who have invaded them.
The Taliban or al-Qaeda are only 2 of many causes some Afghan people will rally around when either offers them hope - which might just come down to a meal, medical supplies, a change of clothing, and a protected place to sleep.
It's very hard to imagine that people there could pull off September 11th and the fact lends itself to my own conspiracy theory about our government playing out a black ops mission right under our own citizens' noses. But the official account of 9-11 is possible - just amazing that the hijackers were able to pull it off.
Since the times that Rambo III was set in, the mahajeen fighters have gotten much more funding and training - in part due to Congressman Wilson as the movie I watched the other day focused on.
Anyway, helping the Afghans seems to be a black and white moral decision that Rambo makes, once he is thrust into the situation he tried to avoid before. Only now, Colonel Troutman, Rambo's training officer, superior, and pretty much father-figure, has been captured by the Soviets when Troutman went ahead with the mission without John Rambo.
The movie is about Troutman's rescue story, but it nevertheless really illustrates the Afghan cause.

Just saw HBO's The Pacific last night. Apparently you just have to sign up there and you can view it for free.
Fairly authentic so far. Most war movies in the past use whatever is available as far as hardware, planes, and vehicles which is usually later in the war stuff because there are not much of the early war stuff available.
They got some real Higgins landing craft. The airplanes, though probably just CGI at this point flying over them were F4F Wildcats. They even had a shot of some dive bombers flying by which not only were the correct ones, but they also had the early 1942 red dotted star insignia and red and white candy striped tail rudders.
So far so good. Not sure what model of truck the Marines found abandoned but it looked Japanese.
Guess we'll have to see what Henderson field looks like and whether the US aircraft will be the correct for 1942. It's what after all they are fighting over.
My favorite scene was when the Marines were looking at the sea battle taking place from their vantage point on a hill thinking the US was winning, but in reality the US got pasted by the Imperial Japanese Navy and had to abandon them for a while.
Anyways, regardless of the authentic look to the series, the story and actors are good. Gonna have to view more of the series, to see if it measures up to Band of Brothers. I'm just happy there's more of the Spielberg, Hanks WWII productions to enjoy.
I watched X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
During the Vietnam War Victor Creed starts trouble when he possibly attempts to rape a Vietnamese national and the other troops try to stop him. While disapproving, his brother James Logan comes to Creed's defense and American troops are killed.
For slaying fellow officers, the brothers are put before a military firing squad but their immortality is discovered when there doesn't seem to be any effective way to put them down.
They are recruited by Colonel Stryker who wants to put them on a special ops team due to their unique skills.
Logan soon learns that the special ops team is only a cover for Stryker's less than sanctioned goals to forward his personal agenda with mutant human beings - and he'll use any and all methods at his disposal. Logan quits the team.
Some years later, in 1979, Creed turns up still working with Stryker and hunting down mutants to help Stryker create "Weapon X (no, 10)."
Logan becomes involved when Stryker uses trickery to re-enlist him.
Three Mile Island is the end result, as well the creation of the mutant hero, Wolverine!

Wow. That makes me glad I never watched that movie.
That's my jacket!
Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split. - Robert E. Howard
X-Men Origins: Wolverine is probably my favorite X-men movie.
Hugh Jackman is the perfect Wolverine and the story is as realistic as it can get with the general suspense of disbelief required for a superhero movie.
I love that.
Liev Schreiber is great as Sabertooth (Victor Creed) and we learn what really created the blood-feud between them (Jimmy's love interest of course - but she too had a power and was being used by Stryker).
Gambit makes a great debut here, and we see a young Professor Charles Xavier first take in the teenage Scott Summers (Cyclops).
And we know why Logan has lost his memory.
This is one of my favorite superhero movies of all-time.

We took the group for a walk off leash at the local park that has an old barn next to it - well Mr. Riot disappeared for a few seconds and when we called him back (not too shabby OB for a 5 month with out an e-collar) he brought me a "present".
