Art exhibition features works of class of 1957
Posted May 14, 2007; 05:33 p.m.
This spring Princeton's class of 1957 will celebrate the 50th anniversary of its graduation with an exhibition of art works from class members' collections.
The exhibition, titled "'57 Collects: A 50th Anniversary Celebration," features objects in various media spanning a broad cultural and chronological spectrum. It will be on view at the Princeton University Art Museum from Saturday, May 19, through Sunday, Aug. 12.
While the museum has previously organized alumni loan exhibitions, and individual classes have made contributions and gifts of art for its permanent collection, this is the first initiative to combine the two for a major reunion.
"It is an excellent opportunity to celebrate Princeton's alumni collectors and to have their works on view in the context of the museum's collections," said Susan Taylor, director of the museum.
The project has already realized its first major donation, with the gift by class member Stuart Feld and his wife, Sue -- longtime benefactors of the museum -- of one of the most significant paintings to enter the museum's American collections in some time: Eastman Johnson's "Study for 'A Glass With the Squire'" (circa 1880).
The exhibition was organized by Karl Kusserow, assistant curator of later Western art, in collaboration with class members Byron Bell, Henry Bessire, Stuart Feld and James Kraft.
The museum is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 1 to 5 p.m. It is closed on Monday and major holidays.

As little girls, when other children were setting up lemonade stands in their front yards to make money, Dylan and Star Cag were painting faces. Armed with a neon pink blanket, a can of change and some paint, the sisters would set up in the park, charging money to paint designs and characters on other kids' faces.
Years later, Dylan turned art into a career — after studying theatre at Concordia University for a year, she was accepted into National Theatre School's Design for Theatre and Film program. Since then, she's worked in the art, wardrobe and make-up departments for all kinds of television, film and commercial projects across the country, and has designed and facilitated local events by theatre companies like Resource Centre for the Arts and Rising Tide. She also teaches art and has produced programs, workshop and classes for students, including those studying theatre at MUN's Grenfell College in Corner Brook.
Dylan met artist Derek James during Earth Day celebrations in Ottawa about five years ago, and began working with him as Wandering Brush. In 2010, James, who lives in Ottawa, handed over the Wandering Brush name and business to Dylan.
Today, Wandering Brush is a collective of artists that offers face and full-body painting, balloon twisting and special effects character make-up for different events, like birthday parties, night club parties, photo shoots, theatre productions and commercial gatherings.
"Wandering Brush really started on a grassroots, spiritual platform," explained Thomas Jordan, Wandering Brush's administrator. "The name Wandering Brush is a metaphor for how we paint each other; how we influence and affect each other in life."
Thomas is a basically a longtime, self-taught artist with a 10-month Youth Arts Program under his belt. Until joining Wandering Brush, he specialized in murals and portraits. Art is his life and his passion, he said; particularly working with children.
"My interest is in people, but especially children, because I can unleash the most powerful thing kids have — their imagination," he explained. "It's my biggest reward."
"I love working with kids. They're so open and have the craziest ideas," added Dylan.
When it comes to children's events, Wandering Brush artists can use water-based face paints and glitter to transform children into just about any character or animal, or with any design. Kids at holiday parties this year have been asking for Dr. Seuss' Grinch, reindeer, Santa Claus and designs with strings of lights.
Butterflies, superheroes, TV and book characters and animals are popular choices all year round, Thomas and Dylan say, and the more mythical and magical, the better.
Because of the detail, skill and quality of Wandering Brush work, the artists find that adults often like to take advantage of the experience at parties, too.
In their new studio on Queen's Road, Thomas and Dylan offer painting just for grown-ups, either to enhance or transform them. They've painted pregnant bellies for photo shoots, tattoo-like designs, and full-body art pieces.
"It's an interesting challenge to paint on somebody," Dylan said. "Adults are more socially conscious of their position in the world and often enjoy being able to express themselves this way."
Earlier this week, Thomas executed a double full-body piece: a couple came into the studio to be painted together, as one.
"They are both bodybuilding competitors, so I thought along the lines of the theme of strength, and I came up with an oak tree," Thomas explained. "I wanted to try and conjoin two bodies to create one tree."
Full-body pieces can be modified to incorporate whatever amount of clothing a person feels comfortable with, Thomas said, and most opt to remain scantily covered. He and Dylan, working under a black light, like using special paint that's only visible under the light, which clients particularly like for nights out clubbing.
Dylan has done years of research into face and body paints from around the world, and all Wandering Brush's children's paints wash off with soap and water.
"Face paint has come so far over the past few years," she said. "I like using different brands, because sometimes it's hard to get a certain colour as sumptuous as you want it. I'm always looking for new stuff."
Next month, Wandering Brush will travel to Thailand for a special event with local businessman Ron Stamp, founder of Iceberg Canada Corp. Stamp makes vodka and bottles water sourced from icebergs, and Dylan said he's launching a new iceberg beer on Thailand. She and other Wandering Brush artists will transform models into "ice queens" for the launch, she said, which could easily take up to six hours per design.
In the coming months, Wandering Brush is hoping to expand their work to include a calendar project, featuring local children with face paint designs inspired by local scenery, wildlife, music, history and culture, as well as books. Dylan would also like to somehow paint the top 10 rock 'n' roll albums of all time in the form of body art, she said.
"There's not much you could throw at me that I couldn't work out a design for," she said, laughing.
Thomas sees himself more as a performer than an artist.
"We offer the best in visual art, and our real success comes from the entire process; the entire experience," he said.

I can't count the number of times I've watched an anime and was left wondering if the characters ever did confess their love to one another and what happened between them. Special A answers those questions for you. I love the storyline; it's funny, romantic, and downright silly. I love the characters, every single person plays a part and is developed well. The animation is awesome, perfectly illustrating what the author of the manga... See full review

Ted Schlein, what are you thinking?
Original post made by Aghast and agape, Menlo Park: University Heights, on Nov 2, 2006
I got a mailer that has Schlein saying, "They have a plan to preserve and improve our community -- without raising taxes."
Actually, the B/D/W slate supports, endorses and in the case of the incumbents, voted in favor of, Measure K, a new UTILITY TAX on Menlo Park residents.
This goes far beyond spin -- it's an outright lie. What a nice example to set for all the little school children of Menlo Park. Shame on you, Ted Schlein!

Why would Ted Schlein misuse his position as co-president of the Foundation (Menlo Park Atherton Educaitonal Foundation), which we have personally supported with thousands of dollars annually, and treat a wonderful organization as his personal marketing device to promote candidates to a local city council(one of whom conveniently serves on the Board too.) Endorsing as an invidual: OK; endorsing as MPAEF president: not OK. Ethics and good judgment are in severe shortage on the other side of the political aisle. Yuck!

I just cringed when I saw that endorsement--no matter who you support for the council race, this does such big damage to MPAEF! I cannot believe the leader of MPAEF would jeopardize the success of the donation drive just to help friends get elected to political positions. I'm a new parent at the school system and was thinking it was an automatic thing that I would donate to MPAEF, but now I'm thinking it's not a good idea this year. I'll find other worthy causes that have leaders with better judgment to support.
And I agree with the other comment--endorsing as an individual person is ok, but when you attach a title to it, the meaning of the endorsement changes.
What a shame!

It is normal, customary and important that the community positions of political endorsers - representing only their own personal views - are included as part of a political endorsement. A quick review of the Heyward Robinson webpage at SmartVoter.com is a useful example. Mr. Robinson is endorsed by Stanford Environmental science faculty, members of the Committee for the Green Foothills and the Mid-Peninsula Open Space District. The inclusion of those individual's titles does not suggest that those organizations endorse Mr. Robinson. It does infer that people in the community who are knowledgeable and involved in environmental matters support his candidacy. This is useful information to me as a voter because it suggests where Mr. Robinson's values and priorities might lie.
Mr Schlein is identified both with his title as a Partner,Kleiner-Perkins and as Co-President, Menlo Park Schools Foundation. The inclusion of these titles provides important context as to why I as a voter should listen to his opinion. The titles in no way suggest that either Kleiner-Perkins nor the Menlo Park Atherton Education Foundation (MPAEF) endorse the slate. This does provide useful context to me that Mr Schlein has some basis to express his opinion about management teams, business plans, and a future vision of Menlo Park that has our children in mind.
Mr. Robinson, Mr. Boyle and Mr. Schlein are all very involved citizens -- doing great work for our kids raising money, coaching, pushing for a better Menlo Park. All three are parents of kids at Oak Knoll School. The example I want my kids to see is one where leadership is a part of citizenship, where the expression of an individual's thoughtful, positive opinion is applauded (not jeered or called naive), a community where freedom to think like an individual is protected and savored. Let's all calm down.

StopPersonalAttacks, your letter highlights the problem with the endorsement. When someone with expertise in environmental issues supports a candidate, the voter can infer that the candidate is "politically correct" from an environmental perspective. Similarly, when someone describing himself as the CEO of an organization indicates his support for a candidate, the voter can surmise that the organization is favorably disposed to the candidate.
The problem arises when a nonprofit organization, barred by the IRS from becoming involved in political campaigns, appears to endorse a candidate. And Schlein, perhaps inadvertently, gave that impression in his endorsement. As a private citizen--absolutely, he can endorse anyone--but it appeared that he was speaking on behalf of the organization, and that is not acceptable and also violates the IRS rules. It would be a shame if the MPAEF lost its 501(c)(3) status because of this.
By the way, MPAEF is not about creating a vision for our children. Its sole purpose is to support education in the district through fundraising. The school board, which also has three openings in this election, is the body responsible for creating a vision.

One board member's response was that "Menlo Park School Foundation" could refer to any of the nine private schools or three public school districts in our area. The bumper stickers refer to it as The Foundation, they hold a "Foundation Week" every May, so aren't we seeing more dissembling here?
The Board's official response so far has been insipid in that it doesn't look like they will do anything public too soon, but will look into the matter down the road. And this as they get into full gear for the massive November 7 fund-raising. Wish we could get our contribution back this year, until they find their spine!

Mr. Schein did absolutely nothing wrong. Stop attacking people for voicing their support of one candidate or anohter. Stop attacking individuals in general. This over reaching sensitivity and strident criticisms of individuals for only participating in a community discussion has to stop if we are ever going to have a civil political process in Menlo Park. Stop it - please!
a resident of Menlo Park: University Heights

Dear StopPersonalAttacks,
Maybe in your next post you could address the issue of how Mr. Sclein's endorsement made an utterly false statement, and explain to us all how that falls within the noble tradition of campaign endorsements.
a resident of Hillview Middle School

TO get a Grip (indeed): A civil political discourse starts with ethical participants. As a generous contributor to the MPAEF coffers (and even if I weren't), I am fully entitled to object when an admirable organization's name gets mixed up with politics. As for calling this "personal attacks," where is the call for personal responsibility?

Anyone who's been in the MPCSD for very long knows what the Foundation is.
The only positive thing I can say about Schlein's endorsement is that it's one of the more benign pieces of misinformation being spouted by the incumbent slate and their friends, not nearly as duplicitous or damaging as other material they've produced.
By the way, the MPAEF got its start as a very clique-y kind of organization, and for years its main fundraiser was a winetasting that was open by invitation to a select few. Then the Foundation went through a period of trying to appeal to the broader community. Unfortunately, the current board appears to be trying to reinvent itself as a country clubish let-them-eat-cake sort of organization. I'm afraid they have lost my support with this one.
a resident of Laurel School
on Nov 3, 2006 at 1:52 pm
My concern with this situation isn't a personal attack at all. My biggest worry is the damage to the organization of the MPAEF--they are really important to our community and our schools are excellent largely because of the enriched programs their funding provides. But when the leadership of an organization this important does something that is damaging to the organization, they need to take responsibility and apologize and attempt to rectify the situation, not blame people for mis-interpreting them. Mr. Schlien could have avoided this situation had he made sure the foundation title wasn't used in his endorsement.
a resident of Laurel School
on Nov 3, 2006 at 3:52 pm
I personally believe that Ted Schlein made an error in judgement in citing his foundation affiliation in his endorsement of John Boyle and the Boyle / Duboc / Winkler slate. However, I'm very concerned at the postings I'm seeing on this forum, regarding holding back donations based on Mr. Schlein's actions. The Foundation raises a significant amount of money for our local schools, supporting important programs that help enrich our children's educational experience. Withholding donations may make a political point - but only at our kids' expense. I think that's an unfortunate trade-off. My understanding is that the Foundation Board plans to review its policies related to its Board members making political endorsements. Write a letter stating your opinion to the Board! If they don't take action - then more drastic measures may be warranted. I hope not - I'd hate to see valuable programs for our children put in jeopardy because of this controversy.
a resident of Hillview Middle School
on Nov 3, 2006 at 4:05 pm
I completely agree with the overall thread here. The solution proposed by the Board, though, isn't wholly satisfactory because there is no public disavowal of the mistake before the election, which allows a perception (at least) of tacit approval. No standing up to state the obvious, which is unfortunate, as a missed opportunity for taking responsibility. We have already made our annual contribution to the MPAEF for this year, other than e-scrip and the Foundaiton Week, and haven't asked for it back (as some have) but will definitely hold back further donating until I see a new policy in place. There are MANY other valuable organizations. They may not service our kids, but they service others, who are in more dire need.
a resident of Menlo Park: Allied Arts/Stanford Park
on Nov 3, 2006 at 4:39 pm
Former Admirer, you got it exactly right. The fact that the board has offered such a lame remedy is making me queasy. Why can't they step up and issue a statement indicating that the board itself does not endorse any candidates? Doing nothing more than forming a committee to examine board policy is tantamount to condoning Mr. Schlein's misuse of the MPAEF's name.
Although the MPAEF has done good work, count me among those who will be sending my contribution to other local educational groups.
a resident of Hillview Middle School

The parents who have threatened to withhold their contributions to the MPAEF are holding our children's education hostage...children who have nothing to do with Bressler/Cline/Robinson vs Boyle/Duboc/Winkler. I hope that Mr. Bressler, Cline and Robinson are not advocating that their supporters refrain from donating to Laurel, Encinal, Oak Knoll and Hillview. It's time to talk about the real issues facing Menlo Park and not focus on a school foundation as a political chip in this corrosive campaign.

To Dismayed Hillview Parent,
Don't worry, there has not been any involvement by the three challenging candidates on this at all. I volunteer for them and they have made absolutely no mention of it and didn't know there was an uproar about it when I told them about what I've read here this week, except to say that it is sad that an endorsers name was used in this way when it doesn't help the foundation. They all care about the schools, all 6 candidates that is, and 4 of six have young children either in schools now or about to be. The uproar is entirely individual parent driven and simply reflects a lack of awareness or judgement on the part of Ted Schlien. I'm upset he allowed the use of his title in that way, along with false campaign information, but I can assure you this was brought on entirely by himself with the endorsement, not the three other candidates. I also don't see it as holding the kids hostage by withholding donation money until he takes responsibility for what happened. People are forgiving when someone apologizes for a mistake. If he cannot see why this is important, I hope he'll be able to make up any monetary losses the foundation may incur from his own generous coffers.
a resident of Laurel School
on Nov 4, 2006 at 5:23 pm
After further thought on this, I need to correct something I wrote in my last comment. The slate of Boyle, Duboc, and Winkler should have taken the reputation of the MPAEF into consideration before using their officers for an endorsement for their own political gain. This is a lack of judgement on their part as well as Mr. Schlien's, for it says we don't care what happens to the foundation as long as it helps us get elected.
I was assuming at first that they all have the schools best interests at heart, but now I realize that they don't.
a resident of Hillview Middle School
on Nov 4, 2006 at 5:30 pm
One PTO chair (not with school above) decline to endorse any of the candidates, either privately or publicly, because she deemed it inappropriate given her public role. (The slate still used her name, much to her outrage, I'm told.) Would that Mr. Schlein had used such good judgment and class!
a resident of Oak Knoll School
on Nov 8, 2006 at 9:54 am
Having generously given to the MPAEF foundation for more than 5 years, I have decided to withhold all future donations until Mr. Schlien resigns from the Board of MPAEF. Our foundation's leaders should not use the Foundation's name for political gain. If Mr. Schlien is as misinformed on school matters as he is on the canidates position for tax increases, he should be removed.

Keeping your gear organized is important. Important for many reasons, but namely to prevent the "Yard Sale".
Keeping your gear all together helps you in all camping situations. In the cold, knowing where all your gear is can save you from frostbite and having a miserable time.
Keeping your gear packed and together keeps your gear dry and clean. And in a Cold weather environment this is critical to staying warm.
So here are some tips to Prevent the Yard sale.
1. Organize your Pack. Use ditty bags, zip lock bags, or garbage bags, but keep your gear compartmentalized as much as possible. Keep your extra clothing in a separate "Dry" bag, keep your cooking gear together, keep your wet weather gear in bags. The use of ditty bags keeps your part compartmentalized. Everything has a bag and every bag has a place. This make finding gear real easy too.
2. Pack your backpack for the experience. Pack those things you don't need right away in the bottom and back… pack that which you need right away close to the top and the outside pockets.
Trail mix and water on the outside, extra long johns in the bottom.
Pack your backpack, don't just shove things in it. If you organize the pack at the start, it will stay that way throughout the cam pout.
3. Take out only what you need. Leave everything else in the pack. When you are in your tent, you do not need the entire contents of your pack with you. Your sleeping bag, your pad, and the clothing for tomorrow.. everything else should be stored away in your pack.
4. Use your zippers. Every zipper on your pack should be zipped. Put stuff away and zip it closed. This way if you have to move your pack, your gear will not fall out.
5. Use a pack cover. A pack cover keeps your gear dry and contained. Critters won't get into your pack, neither will snow, rain, or dirt. A pack that is covered also presents a neat and tiddy package. It shows that you have packed and kept your gear together.
Finally, keep your gear to a minimum. If you don't need it, or you have never used, don't take it. Pack for the occasion. You won't need sandals on a winter camp out.. so don't pack them, that is one less thing you have to worry about.
Preventing the "Yard sale" is key. If your gear is scattered all over the place, you are not being a good camper. Your gear is getting lost, dirty, and wet. If you fail to take care of your gear it will fail to take care of you.
These little tips can make your camping experience better, no matter what the weather. Keep your gear organized and your gear will last longer, stay clean and dry and help you have a great Scouting experience.
Happy Scouting!

Happy birthday to singer-songwriter-pianist Kristi Martel, who will be celebrating in fine fashion with a headlining set at the Roots downtown next weekend as part of the ongoing Luna's Ladies Night Series. Martel is a spirited and spiritual performer — a self-described "avant-soul piano diva" — and her most recent set of songs, The Sacred Whore Demos, gathers a handful of gorgeous, introspective tunes.
Martel's impressive musical background includes two music degrees (Bard College in NY and Mills College in Oakland, CA), and an ASCAP grant before beginning her touring and recording career in 2001 (she self-booked 55 shows across the country over 80 days); in 2011, she was a finalist for the MacColl Johnson Fellowship (a $25,000 artist's grant). She was born and raised in New England and has lived everywhere from NYC to San Diego before returning here (like we all do) in 2003.
"I absolutely loved my community, but I never felt at home out there," Martel noted. "I always missed the distinct seasons, especially autumn and winter. I write from my experience and the experiences of those around me, and the landscape and climate definitely have an impact," she said.
Martel spent the last two years hosting a radio show, "Butterfly Mixtapes," on 90.3 WRIU-FM, is a yoga instructor at a holistic health center in Wakefield, teaches voice and piano lessons, and releases her music through her own Sealed Lip Records.
The 2006 full-length Ravengirl garnered national exposure, including a feature on NPR for the song "Littlebird's Flight," named for Martel's former life partner who committed suicide in 2003. She refers to the album title as a "goofy joke superhero name" she gave herself as an alter ego seeking to find joy and solace in life following her tragic loss. I asked her if writing served as a creative escape valve when things got tough.
"I don't think of writing as an escape, because generally I don't believe escape works as a way to release things," she said earlier this week. "I did work through things by writing, but honestly, I couldn't write for nearly a year after Littlebird died.
"Writing about Littlebird's suicide was an incredible process of transforming the pain of that trauma into something powerful and even healing," she continued. "I got to experience all the pain in real time, and then let it go. But I also got to experience a daily dose of joy, which blew my mind.
"There are parts of that year I don't really remember because I was in shock, but by feeling everything I could instead of trying to escape, I actually came out more 'free' on the other side."
To celebrate the "arrival of a new decade," Martel will be dipping into her extensive back catalog for her upcoming performance, including cuts from Ravengirl, The Mule (2004), and Brave Enough (2001; check out Martel's catalog at iTunes and cdbaby.com). I'm looking forward to hearing some of these Sacred Whore cuts up close and personal as well. "I'm high enough just living, just breathing air sky, earth and sea," Martel sings on "Gutter Mouth," and her vocals soar confidently on the title track. "Blessed Community" is another highlight, inspired by the church services she attended at the Bell Street Chapel in Providence.

Field trial labradors, the wind beneath my wings,

SEE! I told you guys!!!
Maybe now you'll stop peeing on your clickers...
edit: training a sequence of behaviors like that is called "chaining". First teach first obstacle, give treat, then when he reliably and voluntarily gets through first one, add on second one so he has to both before he gets treat, then add third and so on. This works in field training, too!

Stuff and nonsense.
You've all got it hopelessly wrong. How many more times do I have to tell you to read the squirrel?
That's a Force trained collar conditioned squiggle if ever I saw one. How many "factors" did it successfully negotiate on the way to the nut? You can't get a squiggle to do that without pressure, lots and lots of pressure. Otherwise he'd just refuse to go, wouldn't he? Training is all about pressure, right? I'll bet just out of camera shot there is a training kit of e-collarette, heeling pencil, and pimple collar.
It's certainly not a British squirrel; it's head is always up, never on the ground, and it didn't use its brains from the initial send out to run straight to the last pole and shin up it. This is a de-cheated squirrel people.
Thank you, very kind, Mine's a pint.
Very good point there Colonel ....I'm still laughing .....Made my day early today ....Thanks Steve S

The squirrel must have been put through FTP and the T (and TT?), then. I didn't notice any bugging, popping, flaring, or no goes.
This squirrel should have no trouble with a keyhole blind at 300 yards. I've heard that only collar-trained squirrels can have that skill.
Looks like my daughter's agility training class ...

Although the issue of privacy raises different concerns than the issue of piracy, consumer advocates and Internet activists have jumped on a pending cybersecurity bill using the playbook they developed to stymie the Stop Online Piracy Act, with similar results so far. This time the target is the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act, H.R. 3523. Introduced Nov. 30, 2011, by Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Mich.), the bill's aim is to enable information about cyber threats to be quickly and properly shared between public and private computer network operators. As with SOPA, the crux of Internet freedom activists' complaints is that broad language in the bill could be misapplied with unintended consequences, overregulating Internet innovation and trampling on users' privacy and other rights. For CISPA specifically, activists worried that it granted antipiracy enforcement a loophole to share any user data branded with the intellectual property theft label. Similarities to the SOPA case include:
The main differences between CISPA and SOPA are the urgency of national cybersecurity risks and the potential need for a swift, effective response. Telecommunications groups have expressed concern that legislative solutions must take special care to make things better and not worse, since some unregulated information-sharing is already in place. While the flavor of rabble-rousing Internet activism can seem less than serious, these groups' real worries deserve attention and their popular pressure cannot be ignored. U.S. legislation supported the creation of the Internet and beneficial approaches must be found for legislative updates, including foreign rogue website legislation.
On April 16 the Department of Justice and the Drug Enforcement Administration announced the arrests of eight Internet narcotics traffickers, six residing in different U.S. states and two abroad, who thought they had successfully concealed their activities by using online anonymity software the Tor Project. DEA Acting Special Agent in Charge Briane M. Grey said, "The drug trafficking organization ... [was] trying to hide their activities through the use of advanced anonymizing online technology. Today's action should send a clear message to organizations that are using technology to conduct criminal activity that the DEA and our law enforcement partners will track them down and bring them to justice."
The U.S. Supreme Court agreed on April 16 to hear the appeal of a first-sale doctrine case in which used textbooks published by John Wiley & Sons were purchased in Thailand and resold in the United States. Previous rulings have not extended the domestic right to resell copyright-protected used merchandise to goods that are sourced or purchased abroad.
On April 13 Librarian of Congress James H. Billington announced the appointment of Seattle superior court judge Suzanne M. Barnett as the chief copyright royalty judge of the Copyright Royalty Board, effective May 20. "Judge Barnett's 16 years of experience presiding over a wide variety of trials make her highly qualified to be chief copyright royalty judge," said Billington. "I also extend my gratitude for the dedicated public service of outgoing Chief Judge James Sledge, who has served ably during his six-year term."

His hands hanging by his side as if he's unsure what to do with them, Johnny Rotten is staring straight at the audience. A bemused smile – mock wonder – crosses his face. Of all things, he looks like Charlie Chaplin: baggy navy blue pants with a white handkerchief peering out of the back pocket; a tuxedo jacket and vest, shiny from use and several sizes too large; white shirt and fat tie, tousled hair and pale skin. Rotten looks very young, like a little kid about to do his bit for the camp amateur hour. Without any announcement, the Sex Pistols have just walked onto the Great SouthEast Music Hall, Atlanta's most prestigious rock club. It's a moment that approximately 40 journalists (including representatives from the three networks), 500 curious Atlanta rock fans, and a full corps of Warner Bros. publicists have been waiting for. The Sex Pistols aren't oblivious to the commotion – the audience has risen en masse and is screaming at them. In fact, they seem to revel in it, but their acknowledgement is oblique. "My name is John and this is the Sex Pistols," Rotten says, with another smile that could break your heart – with his black dots for eyes he could be a character in "Little Orphan Annie" – and the band careers into "God Save the Queen," Rotten's barbed-wire voice tearing it apart.
I'd like to say that the Sex Pistols' American debut last week was a revelation, but it wasn't. The Sex Pistols were good. There were moments of greatness – one understood immediately how they kidnapped the British imagination (part of it, at least) even before they released "Anarchy in the U.K." – but it wasn't the coming of the anti-Christ. It was more like meeting someone you only know by correspondence and reputation: tentative and awkward at first, before you get past expectations and accept the exigencies of finally getting together. Though almost everyone at the Great SouthEast Music Hall undoubtedly has his own private image of the Pistols – created by Never Mind the Bollocks as well as what has been said and printed – this analogy is not quite accurate. The Pistols' concert was not a private meeting, but an extraordinarily public event. Few performances in rock history have been surrounded by so much attention.
The symbolic weight of the Atlanta show – Sex Pistols Arrive, US Still Standing – was not lost on anyone. That's why most were there. But the reports and rumors that led up to the concert left out one thing: for all the Pistols' seriousness – and their nihilism is not a chi-chi pose easily dismissed – they treat almost everything, including themselves, as a joke (albeit a cruel one); or, to put it differently, the Pistols' dead seriousness derives precisely from their viewing the world as a joke. So when the Pistols acknowledged their notoriety, they immediately defused it. "Aren't we the worst thing you've ever seen?" Rotten asked about halfway through the show – and he didn't care what the answer was. Since nothing the band could do could be as outrageous as what had been predicted – if one believed some reports, a wave of spit and vomit was going to engulf the audience as soon as the Pistols hit the stage – deliberately underplaying their hand was the group's only option. Considering the presence of the Atlanta vice-squad, this was a practical as well as philosophical solution.

By Brad Locke/NEMS Daily Journal
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – For Pat Fitzgerald, Northwestern isn't just where he goes to work. It's his home.
The seventh-year head coach is a Chicago native, and he was a standout linebacker for the Wildcats in the 1990s, leading them to the 1995 Rose Bowl. He returned to Northwestern as an assistant coach in 2001 and took over the program in 2006 when head coach Randy Walker died unexpectedly.
Fitzgerald married his high school sweetheart, Stacy – both graduated from Carl Sandburg High School in the Chicago suburb of Orland Park. At Northwestern home games, 75 to 100 family and friends of Fitzgerald are in attendance, including his father, Pat Sr., who's in charge of the coaches' wireless headsets on the sidelines.
"You don't get to have that in this profession; it's very rare that you do," Fitzgerald said. "When you do, it's special. We're thankful for that, but my job is to win games and graduate players, graduate 100 percent of them.
"Now I've got to keep winning games, keep my job."
Fitzgerald has done just fine winning games, with a record of 49-39. His team is making its fifth consecutive bowl appearance on Tuesday, against Mississippi State (8-4) in the Gator Bowl.
most wins
If the No. 21-ranked Wildcats (9-3) win, Fitzgerald would stand alone as the winningest coach in program history. It would also snap the school's nine-game bowl losing streak, the nation's longest.
"You look at the games that we've played in and you've got to feel great about the way we competed," he said of the bowl games. "You feel like garbage, though. We haven't finished the job."
Beating an SEC team in a bowl game would help Northwestern gain a little more respect on a national level. It doesn't have the strongest football tradition, and being a school with high academic standards located in a city that's saturated with professional sports teams, getting noticed is a constant battle for Northwestern.
Fueled by Fitzgerald's success, the school has been taking big steps towards becoming more relevant within the Big Ten and on a national level, too. A couple of years ago, Northwestern locked up Fitzgerald through 2020, and the school recently committed to building a $220 million facility that's intended to benefit all students, but especially the football team.
"That kind of support is unparalleled and unmatched in our program's history," Fitzgerald said. "All those things are really exciting for us."
Mike Polisky, Northwestern's deputy athletics director for external affairs, told ChicagoBusiness.com in November, "We're not satisfied with backhanded compliments about our successes."
Other schools interested
The 38-year-old Fitzgerald has been pursued by other schools, most notably Michigan two years ago. But with the financial investment Northwestern is making in both him and the program at large, Fitzgerald doesn't appear to be going anywhere soon.
Right now, he's determined to take his alma mater to new places. The current trajectory is promising.
"Northwestern has definitely progressed since I've been here – each and every year," said fifth-year senior linebacker David Nwabuisi. "We're getting more and more talented and more and more athletic. We're not dropping our standards at all when it comes to grades.
"It speaks volumes for our coaching staff recruiting the right guys and the guys that we bring in not just trying to be great at football but trying to be great at academics as well."

text: The Kode 86 is among the most tracking and most directional boards and at the same, it has a very good glide with a great sensation of crispness and stiffness. Tester's opinion: "With a good early planing performance, the Kode rides nice and high compared to the average board and still manages to ride nice and flat. I found it comfortable, with a very good ride and without any hard slapping in choppy waters. For me, it's the most versatile across freeride, freestyle and waves. It simply does it all so well."

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 1:38 PM GMT on October 08, 2009
Tropical Depression Henri continues to suffer from high wind shear of 20 knots, and appears on its way to dissipation. Visible satellite loops show that the shear has exposed Henri's low level center to view, and this center has become less circular and not as well defined. Henri's heavy thunderstorms have been shrinking in areal coverage and intensity, and are displaced from the center--signs of a highly sheared tropical storm that has little time left to live.
All of the reliable global computer models show weakening and dissipation of Henri by Friday, due to high wind shear. Wind shear in the vicinity of Henri's remains is predicted to fall to the moderate range by Saturday, but at that time it appears that the storm will be moving over the Dominican Republic, which will disrupt whatever is left of the storm's circulation. Henri's remains may bring heavy rains of 2 - 4 inches the the Dominican Republic and Haiti Saturday through Monday. By Tuesday, the remains of Henri will likely be moving across Florida and/or Cuba and into the Gulf of Mexico, where we will need to watch the system for re-development.
Figure 1. Morning satellite image of Henri (top) and a new tropical wave we're watching (bottom). The tropical wave south of Henri, just off the coast of South America, has become disorganized.
Tropical wave south of Henri
A tropical wave south of Henri, just north of the coast of South America and a few hundred miles east-southeast of the southernmost Lesser Antilles Islands, has grown less organized since yesterday. Both the areal coverage and intensity of the heavy thunderstorm activity has decreased, and there are no signs of organization to the cloud pattern. This wave is under about 10 knots of wind shear, but is too close to the Equator to be able to take advantage of the Earth's spin to help it spin up into a tropical depression very quickly. Also, the wave may pull in some dry, stable air from South America as it scoots just north of the coast over the next few days. NHC is giving this disturbance a low (less than 30% chance) or developing into a tropical depression by Saturday. There are no computer models showing development of this system.
Figure 2. Tropical Storm Parma (left) and Typhoon Melor (right) on October 7, 2009. At the time, Melor was a Category 4 typhoon with 135 mph winds, and Parma was a tropical storm with 60 mph winds. The two storms were close enough together that they rotated around a common center counter-clockwise, in an interaction known as the Fujiwara Effect. This forced Parma to reverse course and pass over the Philippines from west to east, after the storm had already crossed the islands from east to west. Now that Melor is gone, Parma is crossing the Philippines once more from east to west. Image credit: NASA Earth Observatory.
Typhoon Melor
Typhoon Melor made landfall yesterday on Japan's Honshu Island south of Osaka as a Category 1 typhoon with 85 mph winds. The typhoon killed two people and caused some moderate damage to the coastal region of southern Japan where it came ashore.
In the Philippines, Tropical Depression Parma is making its third traverse over the Philippines' Luzon Island. is expected to dump up to six more inches of rain today over the already sodden portions of northern Luzon. The storm is being blamed for 22 deaths and millions in agricultural damage.

Never had this as a kid, so my questions are who did, how did you get it and do you still have it?
Never had this as a kid, so my questions are who did, how did you get it and do you still have it?
SSG Dioramas Editor
ACPin Star Wars Webmaster
I never got the actual kit myself. I was jealous 'cos my best mate got one. He got pretty sick of STAR WARS by the end of 1978, so he sold me the display stand and what was left of the contents for $.50. He had pretty much played out the value of it, but I still wanted it. I still have it up in my attic with the rest of my Vintage collection... all carefully packed away with love, lots of bubble wrap and in plastic tackle box trays.
This is how I got started, and how the rest of my life would be defined. My older brother gave me the Early Bird set for Christmas (1977), I was 12 at the time. I kept the envelope it all came in for almost a year at the most, but opening it up did not do well for its looks. I had the backdrop for many years but it eventually got worn out, and was replaced long before that with the "disco" action stand for the classic 12 figures, on which I display those figures to this day. The only thing that survives that is unique to the set is Luke's extending sabre. I remember being so mad when Ben and Vader came out and you couldn't pull out their sabres!
After that, its was almost 25 years of non-stop self-indulgence.
"Does the name "Dingo" mean anything to you?" - Jedi Boulton to DingoDad at the October Dallas ComiCon.
I never had one, but a friend of mine got one for Christmas. I remember laughing at him.
"You got an empty box for Christmas.....HAHAHAHAHAHA!"
HE was laughing a few weeks later. When he was the first kid on the block to have Star Wars action figures.
May the force be with you.
I got mine in the box in my grandparents' basement with the rest of my youngest Uncle's vintage toys. Its one of the reasons I got into serious collecting in the first place. Most of the stuff was in excellent shape considering, and most was complete. The backdrops and some of the decals on vehicles are scraped off or fading, but other than that, its all good.
"Watch this, I'm going to horrify you into a coma..."

Western Historical Quarterly Plagiarism Policy
Updated 31 March 2009
The most recent version of the American Historical Association's (AHA) "Statement on Standards of Professional Conduct" (http://www.historians.org/pubs/Free/ProfessionalStandards.cfm) shall be the Western Historical Quarterly's (WHQ) criteria for defining plagiarism.
The WHQ and the Western History Association (WHA) recognize that gray areas exist in identifying plagiarism and research fraud, and that reasonable individuals can arrive at different judgments of the same materials. In such situations the WHQ editor or president of the WHA may attempt to mediate a solution in lieu of a formal review or sanctions. The WHQ staff will take steps to ensure confidentiality during both informal and formal review processes. In all procedures and discussions involving accusations or suspicions of plagiarism or fraud, the WHQ staff will give priority to the professional interests and scholarly reputation of the WHA, WHQ, and their sponsoring institutions.
When the editorial staff or peer reviewers suspect plagiarism or research fraud in a manuscript submitted to the journal but not yet published, the WHQ editor will decide on a case-by-case basis whether to (1) work with the author to clear up limited instances of oversight or omission, (2) return the manuscript to the author with minimal or no explanation, or (3) in egregious cases or at the request of reviewer or author, submit the manuscript to three members of the journal's editorial board to assess the allegation and evidence provided by the reviewer. After considering the relevant materials and consulting together, the committee will produce a written evaluation. Their findings will be forwarded to both author and reviewer. If plagiarism or fraud is determined, the manuscript will be formally withdrawn from consideration by the editor.
When an editor, the author of a published work, or a third party suspects research fraud or plagiarism of an author's work in an article already published in the WHQ, and brings that suspicion to the attention of the WHQ editor, the editor will ask the accuser to provide specific documentation of the material allegedly plagiarized. The editor will forward that documentation and all other relevant information to the WHA president who will decide whether the charge merits dismissal, mediation, or formal review.
When a formal review is deemed necessary, the president of the WHA shall forward all relevant documentation to the accused author, who shall have the opportunity to provide a written response. The WHA president shall appoint a committee of three people—specialists in the topical field, with no conflict of interest in relation to the contending parties—to evaluate the relevant documentation, including any materials presented by accuser and accused. The committee will evaluate all materials, deliberate as necessary, and produce a written report in a timely manner.
If the committee determines there has been plagiarism or research fraud in a published WHQ article, the WHA president, in consultation with the WHQ's editor, editorial board, and legal counsel (if deemed necessary) will determine the appropriate action to be taken. Such action could include disclosure of the committee's conclusions in the journal, barring the author from again publishing in the journal or participating in the WHA, notifying the author's home institution, or other appropriate sanction. If the committee determines there was no fraud or plagiarism, the WHA president will notify the WHQ editor, the accused author, and the accuser of that finding.
When allegations of plagiarism arise during preparation of a book review, the WHQ editor will ask the accuser to provide specific documentation of the material in the book allegedly plagiarized and make an initial assessment. If mediation with the accusing reviewer is not possible or warranted, the editor will select a committee of three members of the journal's editorial board to assess the allegation and evidence. After considering the relevant materials and consulting together, the committee will produce a written evaluation. Depending on their findings and recommendations, the journal's editor will determine on a case-by-case basis whether or how to publish the book review, look for ways to mediate the review's wording, or advise the accuser to take the matter to another venue.

well im working on a browser based game right now and i came to the part when i need to structure what will be my database, shortly after i started thinking about it i realized i dont have enough experience managing databases at all, so i got a couple questions about it, hopefully one of you can help me out here:
so in the game i want each user to be able to unlock certain items, so i need to keep track of that lock/unlock thing for each item, what i dont know, is how that would work in the database, should i have a user database separate from the item database? or should i use 2 tables inside the same database? how would it work?
actually being more general, how would the whole database work when it comes to users? what they can unlock, their current status, sessions?, everything related to the database is useful for me right now.
also these items im planning to let the players unlock, can be more than one, so they would have quantity, so how do i connect an item-table to each user?
im not sure im being clear enough, im not even sure i understand what i need to be asking here, what i do know is that im confused and any help might be just what i need to get going.

. this question relates to the OLD RAW AVI files of Windows
3.1x through Windows XP:
1) Many video editors used to operate with .avi files.
Asymetrix, MGI ( now Roxi ), Ulead, AiST ( now Magix ) and
even Avid. There was also a free line editor Virtual Dub 1.2
.. .. ? which format was their RAW video avi and why can we
not create "those" avi's today? ( VFW1.1e too )
2) Of the Full-Codec's today, Huffy seems to be causing me
some problems saying, "non standard RAW" (( yup, related ))
3) Virtual Dub NAB no longer functions under Windows 7 32 bit!??
My background is Audio. Video is just a hobby to me and it looks
like it no longer wants to do what I need it to!
. Where did things change and is the old standard dead?
Spoiler :
. I won't be able to respond with feedback, the board removed that .
keep Hatter out of this; I need to know the truth from a trusted source.

Two layers of 8.5 oz., 100% cotton canvas
Quad-stitched and bartacked at all stress points
18 Pockets
Compatible with the Back-Up-Belt System
iPAD compatible
The 5.11 Tactical Vest has been a hit with law enforcement, military and security forces since it was first introduced. Made of 8.5 ounce, 100% cotton canvas, it is triple-stitched and bartacked throughout and features YKK Zippers and Prym snaps.
The 5.11 Tactical Vest has been designed to comfortably carry a heavy load. The shoulder design distributes the weight across the back and shoulder area to reduce fatigue. The pockets are balanced to allow even weight distribution so that you won't list, even with the heaviest loads. With a total of eighteen pockets, these tactical vests easily conceal and carry what you need, when you need it. Two easily accessible hidden compartments allow for handgun and accessory storage. The other sixteen pockets include pockets designed to carry AR magazines, a radio, maps, water bottles and any other items you might need. There's even a 360° pocket that wraps completely around the vest to accommodate large bulky items. For additional storage, the vest is compatible with the Back-Up-Belt System pouches. A convenient steel D-ring is included for clipping gear to the exterior of the vest as well as a key clip. If you plan on carrying large amounts of gear on a regular basis, you should go up one size so that the bulk of a heavy load can be more easily accommodated. Imported.

Lou Reed Talks About the Velvet Underground, Songwriting and Gear in 1998 Guitar World Interview
Back then, especially.
They would have these tests saying, "Mice go deaf from being exposed to this." So in all the clubs they'd say, "Fine, don't bring a mouse to the club." But we had a rule in the Velvet Underground: no blues licks. There were people who were really good at that. But that's not what we were about.
Where did the notion first arise, for you, that the subject matter of songs like "Heroin" or "Sister Ray"—addiction, junkies, transvestite whores—was something that could be presented in a pop or rock song format?
Well, I'd been reading [beat writers] [William] Burroughs and [Allen] Ginsberg and [Hubert] Selby. I was a big fan of certain kinds of writing. I had a B.A. in English. So why wouldn't I? It seemed so obvious and it still does. There was a huge uncharted world there. It seemed like the most natural thing in the world to do. That's the kind of stuff that you might read. Why wouldn't you listen to it, too? You have the fun of reading that, and you get the fun of rock on top of it.
It seems obvious now, but…
It seemed obvious then. Well, to me.
Sure, there had been protest music, folk music, but nothing like the level of literary realism you brought to it.
I can't conceive how it's anything other than the most obvious idea imaginable. If I'd written that stuff in a book, people wouldn't have even looked sideways at me. Well, maybe they even would've looked sideways at me for putting it in a book. But I mean, this stuff existed long before I showed up on the scene. It's in old blues songs.
And now you have gangsta rap and all the rest of it. Well, way back then, "Sister Ray" was all about that same kind of stuff. And "Venus in Furs," I didn't write the book. But what a great book to throw into a song. [The song, as well as the band's name, was inspired by Michael Leigh's book on sadism and masochism, The Velvet Underground—GW Ed.] All these things were available to write about.
In some ways, that makes it a little hard for me now. Because I've done that. I can't write "Venus in Furs, Part II" or "Heroin, Part III." Back then, though, that's the kind of subject matter I was playing around with. But it was always balanced by what I thought were really pretty love songs. It's kind of an odd juxtaposition. But I was someone who had a pretense toward writing. With the kind of background I had, the reading I was doing, the people I was around, all that was going on around me, it would have been strange if I was just writing "moon and June" songs. And if I did write that kind of thing, I felt I would really have to craft it. Which is what "I'll Be Your Mirror" is. And "Pale Blue Eyes," "Femme Fatale" and "All Tomorrow's Parties."
Is songwriting an easy or a labored process for you? Do you revise a lot?
I rewrite, yeah. I'm a believer in rewriting. That's an old habit. I make things up on the spot—spontaneously. But in the end, I rewrite. I might get hung up on one word and keep on changing it until I feel it's right.
Leonard Cohen once showed me some of his notebooks. For every song he writes, he's got a big, thick notebook filled with variant lyrics and alternate versions. You don't rewrite that much, do you?
Well, I do it on a computer. The computer, to me, is just a glorified typewriter. With the handwriting I have, I should've been a doctor. It's completely unreadable. And you can revise really quickly on a computer. And then I get rid of the earlier versions. So I don't have a notebook full of anything, because there is no notebook. You know, Leonard Cohen had one of the greatest opening lines ever in one of his songs: "Give me crack and anal sex."
Yeah, that's in "The Future." Actually, it's the start of the second verse.
See, there you go. That'll get your attention. He's trying to talk to you in an adult way. No one says to him "How could you say that in a song?" It would sound so absurd, because you're talking to Leonard Cohen. But we were earlier than Leonard Cohen, when it came to that kind of lyric, anyway. The mythical Sixties.

Enfusion Live Barcelona Results: Parparyan and Cordoba Draw, Roqueni Beats Kyshenko
- Written by Rian Scalia
Enfusion Live held their second event of the year today in Barcelona, Spain. The card featured a few top match-ups, with the likes of Artur Kyshenko vs. Abraham Roqueni and Cesar Cordoba vs. Sahak Parparyan.
In the main event, Sahak Parparyan and Cesar Cordoba met at 85kg in a battle of two of the division's best fighters. Cordoba took the first two rounds, where he was just too slick and technical for Sahak. To Sahak's credit, he fought much better than he did in his last fight. In the third round it was looking like more of the same before Sahak dropped Cordoba with a right hand over the top while breaking from the inside. That was enough to get Sahak a 10-8 third round and as a result, the fight was scored a draw. Strangely enough, there was no extra round.
Right before the main event was a big 70kg match-up between Artur Kyshenko and Abraham Roqueni. Roqueni started the fight well, moving in, landing shots and getting out in the first round. Kyshenko started to really come on in the second round and was definitely landing the harder, more damaging shots. The third round was more like the second. Roqueni, despite hanging with Kyshenko, just seemed the much more wearier of the two fighters with Kyshenko having all the physical advantages. It looked like a competitive but clear win for Kyshenko. However, Spanish judging struck again and Roqueni was awarded a split decision. Then again, Kyshenko missed weight by 2.5kg.
Update: On second watch, Kyshenko vs. Roqueni is actually a close fight but I don't think Roqueni won. I think an extra round would've been fair to him but it's hard to make a case for him winning two rounds. Kyshenko won the third but the second was closer.
85kg: Sahak Parparyan and Cesar Cordoba draw.
70kg: Abraham Roqueni def. Artur Kyshenko by split decision.
56kg: Iman Barlow def. Maribel Sousa by unanimous decision.
85kg: Moises Ruibal def. Tadej Toplak by KO in Round 1.
70kg: David Calvo def. Mirko Vorkapic by TKO (Cut).
63kg: Nico Barbera def. Ruben Almeida by decision.

Yes, this is the first alt mode for Arcee that's a car (which isn't a lame Japanese repaint of a male Alternators figure). It's also the first bot mode for Arcee that looks even remotely like the G1 movie. Both are thanks to the gang who worked on Transformers: Animated, both on the entertainment and toy side, they worked together to get this one done right.
Arcee has been a dedicated (rather than repainted) figure 3 times prior:
- Energon, as a motorcycle
- Movie 1, as a motorcycle
- Movie 2, as a motorcycle
There's also been a Botcon repaint of Beast Wars TM2 Blackarachnia (minus her chest armor), the aforementioned Japanese Alternators repaint from Decepticharge/Windcharger, a PVC mini-figure that didn't do anything, an Attacktix figure, and tragically a canceled Titanium Series 6" figure with thunder-thighs.

I have been asked by several of my guests who have never stayed at a Savannah Bed and Breakfast - What is the protocol? Can we come and go, or is there a curfew? Where do we park? Can we check in early? These are all reasonable questions and as you have requested, I will try to clarify some of the concerns.
First of all, I have been very blessed to have some of the most outstanding guests. Many have never experienced staying at a Bed and Breakfast in Savannah, and normally stay in a hotel. There is NO comparison. If you are visiting Savannah, YOU MUST TRY THE OLDE SAVANNAH INN. If you don't choose The Olde Savannah Inn, there are 44 other Inns in Savannah from which to choose. In our opinion, the inns are better than any Savannah Hotel or Vacation rental. The bed and breakfasts allow you to experience luxury and the comfort of home at the same time. (Suggestion -READ THE TRIPADVISOR REVIEWS).
The Olde Savannah Inn is one of the finest Inns in Savannah and prides itself on paying the most attention to detail. In order to serve you better, we ask you to come at the check in time, which is 4:00 pm. Prior to 4:00 pm we are preparing the rooms to ensure they are ready and waiting for your arrival. When we meet at 4:00, although I greet you at the front door with a big warm hug, please take a moment to introduce yourselves. Most of the time, I will know who you are and what room you are going to stay in. I try to do my homework before your arrival. If you are going to be later than 4:00 check in, please call. I will make other arrangements. Usually, I wait for guests unless it is going to be really late. Then we will make arrangement for you to pick up a key to your room.
After I settle you into your room and make you comfortable, then we will discuss parking. I know parking is a big issue, but our most important issue, and what we get most excited about, is meeting you! Remember, this house was built in 1877, and there were no cars. Fortunately, we are able to offer FREE Parking on a First come First Serve. We can accommodate 4 small to mid-size cars with the gates closed. Parking is extra at many of Savannah's other Inns or Bed and Breakfasts.
As an innkeeper, the most important issue I have is getting you settled and comfortable. After the car has been parked, I then act as your hostess and will offer you either a refreshing glass of my Caribbean Ice tea or a pino Grigio or maybe merlot, it is your choice. Then, to get your Savannah Vacation off to a great start, I will give you maps of the city. I will even prepare all your dinner reservations, or reservations for Savannah Ghosts Tours, or Historic Carriage Tours if you'd like. In fact, the best way to prepare for your Savannah visit is to call me the week before your arrival and get all my recommendations. Your vacation is then off to a great start and you can utilize your time just seeing all the Savannah sites, instead of wondering what to do. It is all done for you . COMPLIMENTARY!
Most of our guests enjoy walking through the manicured 23 squares. We advise our guests to wear comfortable shoes as they go out into the city. When you return to the Olde Savannah Inn, you will be greeted with our famous Southern Hospitality and will be invited to try our evening port. Something is always brewing in Kathleen's kitchen. I will always ask you if I can offer you anything. We don't have private refrigerators in our rooms, because that would spoil the elegance and ambience . Unless you have spoken with the innkeeper, about maybe storing medicine or leftovers, our kitchen refrigerator is for the INNS USE ONLY. Please let the the innkeeper know what your needs are during your stay.
I have designed an impeccable Savannah Bed and Breakfast and have invested time, money, and love into creating a luxurious, romantic, and comfortable Inn. I ask that all of my guests take care of my home with love and respect. All of the rooms have the finest linens, that were made in Europe. I ask my guests to help in preserving the rooms for the next guest. Remember, this is a private home and not a HOTEL. Please leave your room as you would like guests in your home to leave their room. Emily Posts tells us in her "Book Of ETIQUETTE" to leave the room as you found it. Travelers who frequently visit traditional bed and breakfasts understand that manners do matter, and that they should treat someone else's home better than their own.
We strive to succeed in offering you our Best Customer Service. We leave gratuity envelopes in all our rooms to allow you to say "Thank You" for all that we did for you during your stay. It is not mandatory. However, most of our guests recognize the hard work that is put into the hospitality industry, and welcome the idea of leaving a gratuity. If you prefer not to leave a gratuity, please do not throw the gratuity envelope away. Please leave them for the next guest.
I hope I have been able to clarify some questions and have reassured those B&B Goers this is the way to visit Savannah. Welcome to Savannah ...
We are honored you have chosen our Savannah Bed and Breakfasts, and we will work very hard to serve you and provide you with the BEST Of Savannah. A smile goes a long way.
Your Innkeeper and Hostess,
Miss Kathleen
Tip : Never leave any Savannah Bed and Breakfast without saying" Thank You and Goodbye"

I hit the SW show on Saturday (very cool, but crowded) and picked up the Death Star Briefing set finally; many of the sets had no price tag, many in the aisle with the register had $39.95, but a few on the glass display shelves in the middle had $29.95 tags. The cashier/manager was really annoyed and wanted to wait for confirmation that there were more before giving it to me for that price, but the next guest in line had one too so the other cashier confirmed it. I was VERY tempted to grab some maquettes or Kotos... still wish I'd grabbed one or two! I also got to sit in Han's seat in the little Millenium Falcon 'ride' there. It was neat walking through that Falcon hallway, and having actual switches to flip back & forth during the program.
Picked up the TF Alternators Ravage on Saturday morning; nothing at Burbank Target yesterday or today except one odd sight: a Combat Engineer without a helmet. Shook the card around, only heard the rattle of the stand or the holo; absolutely no sign of tampering around the bubble; the tape looked factory-fresh, with the little air pocket around the edge of the plastic and everything. Just an odd factory error, I guess!
Check this out. I just offered my comments:
-No AFA grading
-Make improvements to HasbroToyShop (allow pre-orders, limit # of figures per customer, increase supply to match demand)
-Better case ratios
[FONT=Arial Narrow]
Congrats, Crunchy!
Didn't do much hunting over the weekend. Waited all day Saturday for FedEx to deliver my Sideshow Endor Troopers. On Sunday picked up a couple Treachery on Saleucami BPs and a Cantina Tin for $10 each at Walmart. Didn't see any TAC Wave 2 at all.
Galactic Barn Burner
However, I have nearly 100 Stormtroopers used in my dioramas. But spread out:
11 on the Tantive IV
10 dispersed through a custom Cloud City
7 in the Battle of Endor
9 or so spread between Death Star Playsets
Etc. I believe "less is more" sometimes, when you're trying to showcase the figures, but that's nearly 40 right there spread out between just 4 scenes.
With Han, Luke, Leia, and Chewie equaling 4 armed Rebels, 1 stormtrooper opposing them isn't much of a threat. For scene builders, army building becomes an obvious necessity.
BAD Pts Need: R5-C7 lf leg (x2), , R4-P44 right leg BAD Pts Offered For Trade: PM me - I have lots of parts now including BG-J38!. New Kyle Katarn is also available.
Did anyone go to Burbank target today at opening (Toon)? How was it?

Durarara!! is about a number of unusual people who gather in Ikebukuro, Tokyo--- a youth who yearns for an un-mundane life, a hoodlum, a stalker denpa-girl, a young man who deals in information 'for fun', a black-market doctor, a high-schooler obsessed with magic, as well as a 'headless rider' riding a bike painted black. These unusual people begin a series of abnormal stories that never fail to create headaches. But, although their personalities are all twisted— they still talk about love.
