A Lee County man has been charged in a hit-and-run that resulted in the death of another man over the weekend.
Jeffery S. Culver, 49 of 142 County Road 325, was arrested Sunday by Lee County Sheriff's Department officers.
At 5:49 p.m. Saturday, officers were dispatched to Graham Road in Lee County to an accident involving a pedestrian.
Lee County Sheriff Jim Johnson said it appeared Richard Allen Darby, an acquaintance of Culver's, had been in a one-vehicle accident in which he was not injured. He was walking along the road when he was struck and killed, and he was pronounced dead at the scene, Johnson said.
His body has been taken to Jackson for further forensic evaluation.
Culver's bond was set at $175,000 on Monday.
Johnson said that because Culver has three prior felony convictions – two for narcotics and one for burglary – they will try for an habitual indictment.

New It's Showtime Fights for March 6
- Written by Dave Walsh
Some interesting updates to the It's Showtime Amsterdam card on March 6:
In an undercard bout, the #22 ranked Leroy Kaestner (pictured) faces Ramzi Tamaditi. Kaestner is a young fighter training under Peter Aerts, and is looking to move up the ranks. He's had a number of big fights, including wins over Gago Drago last year, and Marco Pique in the K-1 MAX Europe GP 2009, but he's not yet been able to put together a string of wins that really pushes him up to the next level. Still, at just 22 years old and only 5 years as a pro, he has time to develop, and remains one of the young fighters to watch. His last fight was a loss to Armen Petrosyan in December.
Ramzi "The Professor" Tamaditi is a lesser known fighter, though he has received some accolades, and is well regarded as an unknown prospect. He defeated Imro Main on an It's Showtime card last year, and has done some training at Chakuriki. A win over Kaestner would definitely elevate his status. Watch a video package on Tamaditi below, put together by the always great AFAV.
Also on the undercard: Warren Stevelmans vs. Mo Medhar. Stevelmans is a K-1 MAX veteran who is always a tough opponent, although he has struggled a bit lately. His last fights were at the K-1 MAX Madrid show, where he made the tournament finals before losing to Rafi Zouheir. Medhar is looking to capitalize on his 2009 It's Showtime victory over Gago Drago. Like Tamaditi, he has another opportunity here to really establish his name in the 70kg division.
Finally, It's Showtime has not yet made it official, but Fighting Stars, the company co-promoting the event, announced a bout between IS 77kg champion Artem Levin and Younes el Mhassani. Their announcement indicates it will be a title fight, although it's also listed as 3 rounds, when IS does 5 rounds for title fights. This would be Levin's first fight since winning the belt against Aussi in December. The Russian fighter had a huge 2010, defeating two of the world's best in Yodsaenklai Fairtex and L'houcince "Aussi" Ouzgni, establishing himself as the clear #1 at 77kg. Levin is currently scheduled to face Kaoklai on February 23 - not sure if this would impact that fight, as IS typically doesn't like having their fighters compete so quickly after another bout.

Provincial Crown attorneys are leaving Happy Valley-Goose Bay quickly and a search is underway to find replacements.
Earlier this month, a source contacted The Labradorian, concerned with the number of Crown lawyers who were planning to leave the area.
On March 18, a spokesperson for the Department of Justice confirmed that three lawyers have either left or are planning to leave within the next several months.
"In Happy Valley-Goose Bay, the senior Crown recently transferred to the island portion of the province to continue working as a Crown attorney. As well, two Crown attorneys have given their notice to leave over the next several months. As with any other organization, turnover of staff is an issue, but we are taking steps to address this."
The email also states that there are five Crown lawyers in Happy Valley-Goose Bay. Multiple sources, however, claim that the courthouse has been operating with just three Crown lawyers recently. And now that the senior lawyer, John Noseworthy, has left, only two remain, and both have given their notice to leave.
According to the email from the Department of Justice, a new senior Crown attorney from Northern Ontario will be arriving in Happy Valley-Goose Bay on April 28. Two Crown lawyers in St. John's have also been assigned to deal with the Nain and Natuashish court circuits.
"Covering circuits using Crown attorneys posted in St. John's is a temporary measure as we continue the recruitment process to hire new Crown attorneys to live in the Happy Valley-Goose Bay region and work in the office there," reads the email.
"With regards to recruitment, efforts are well underway and we have already identified several potential candidates. Our goal is to have the Happy Valley-Goose Bay office completely staffed with permanent positions as soon as possible."
According to a source, one of the outgoing attorneys plans to leave in April, while the other will be gone sometime this summer.
Attorney General Felix Collins told The Labradorian that, while the turnover is a concern for the department, the court in Happy Valley-Goose Bay has been receiving adequate help from other regions.
"We've had people assigned there from St. John's to assist. We've also got the Crown from Wabush coming over to help out," said Collins.
"Obviously, this is a challenge we face in Labrador. It is our intention, even though we have some turnover at the moment, to have the positions fully staffed and up to speed as fully as possible."
Collins said that recruiting and maintaining staff in Labrador is challenging, not just for the Department of Justice, but other agencies as well.
"It has to do with a number of issues, having to be away from home, numerous times, doing the circuits," said Collins. "Challenges with interpretation … as well as cost of accommodations, and a whole host of issues."
Collins did not say when asked, however, if there were anyone else, besides the new senior Crown lawyer, coming to happy Valley-Goose Bay on a full time basis in the near future.

Enjoy these zesty chicken thighs that are slow cooked with chicken broth, herbs and Chinese spices for an Asian style dinner- serve with white rice.
During slow cooking, the chicken bones will release extra flavor into the broth.
Chinese five-spice powder combines equal parts of cinnamon, cloves, fennel seed, star anise and Szechuan peppercorns. This ground seasoning is popular in Asian recipes.
Cook the rice the night before; cool and refrigerate it. Chop the onions, slice the celery and green onions and chop the cilantro and refrigerate them separately. Before serving, microwave the rice in a covered microwave-safe glass bowl on HIGH for 5 to 6 minutes or until hot, stirring once.

There's been a lot of talk about General Motors (GM), maybe too much talk. This stock is not a rebel stock. It's just going through lots of changes, especially when compared to competitors like Ford (F) and Toyota (TM). That's what happens when you name a new CEO and the government sells its last shares of your stock.
JPMorgan's Ryan Brinkman and team say the choice of Mary Barra to head General Motors puts the focus back where it belongs:
Barra is an engineer by training who most recently led GM's global product development effort. We expect her appointment to place product front and center – where it belongs…One must go back 1992 to find an example of the last time automotive engineers were at the helm of General Motors (Robert Stempel, and Llyod Reuss…).
Morgan Stanley's Adam Jonas and team call the shakeup to management a boon for the company–and a pleasant surprise:
Recasting the mgmt team so soon is an unexpected bonus to start the 2nd stage of GM's reincarnation. GM's come a long way, but its full potential is not yet unlocked, in our view. The sun is still shining on US autos, but right out of the gate the new team faces a growing list of cyclical and competitive storm clouds outside of its control, particularly in the US. Tens of billions of dollars of value are up for grabs. The battle has already begun.
Susquehanna's Christopher Jacobson looks at what the options market is saying about General Motors' potential dividend now that the government is out of the way:
…if investors expect an announcement in the near-term and expect 4 dividends to be paid out over 2014, the Jan15 options appear to price in roughly $0.13 ($0.52 / 4) per dividend. To get a sense of expectations further out, we can apply the same exercise to the Jan16 options, although we note that the markets out this far are much wider, leaving much more room for changes in the dividend policy. Nonetheless, when we back out the Jan2016 dividend stream, we arrive at roughly $1.36 in cumulative dividends. Removing the $0.52 priced in to 2014, this would imply roughly $0.84 in dividends over 2015, or roughly $0.21 per dividend. In summary, if we were to assume 4 dividends in 2014 and 4 in 2015, the options would appear to price in a quarterly dividend around ~$0.13 in 2014 increasing to around ~$0.21 in 2015, although we again note that our numbers would change with changes in assumed interest rate, timing of the dividends, etc.
Shares of General Motors have dropped 0.5% to $40.19 today at 3:32 p.m., while Ford has fallen 1.1% to $16.34 and Toyota has declined 1% to $120.49.

A Playtest Version is Available Here
The rest of this post and the thread is preserved below.
Special Investigations: Nightshift (SINS) is a 90s supernatural cop tv-show setting I'm trying to make using Savage Worlds (Deluxe). Think of it as Homicide: Life on the Street crossed with Supernatural, and set in New Orleans.
I played in a (bastardized) WoD game for a few years that was essentially 1980s Cop shows (Miami Vice) crossed with supernatural monster hunting shows (Supernatural or X-Files). It was called "Special Investigations," and was based around TV cop show tropes. We had episodes, seasons, montages, and guest stars. I'm now 3 time zones away from that game, but I liked it enough to think about making a "spin-off."
The New Series
Set in the 1990s, SINS will be a darker show with a bit more verisimilitude when showing life as a police officer. Most player will be detectives in the Special Investigations Unit, although interesting other characters (K-9 unit, or Lieutenant) will be allowed. The often mocked and under funded Special Investigations Unit tends to be a dumping ground for officers no longer wanted in other units, sort of like the first season of the Wire.
Setting Rules
Unless otherwise noted, all episodes and events take place at night. Note that day & night has an impact on Fear Levels.
Two Case Structure
Most episodes will feature the two case structure. There will be two active cases assigned to the group to handle at the same time, such as through splitting up. One is quick and easy, while the other will turn into the main plot of the episode and likely require the whole unit to handle. Completing the easy case gains the unit a Favor Token. Oh, and it's never clear which case is which at game start.
Defining Interests
I'll be using the Defining Interests rules like in Agents of Oblivion. They provide an extra bonus on related common knowledge type checks, as well as an easy way to pickup a bit of another language. Best of all they can be selected on the fly to help flesh out backstory in play.
The Case Board
The Special Investigation Unit has a Case Board where they track their active case load. Much like on the tv shows Homicide or The Wire, cases in red are open, cases in black and closed. At the start of each episode, every detective has to make Investigation or Streetwise check, their choice, to see if they are staying on top of their case load. Non-detective characters can attempt to aid the check of one detective. Failure means they are getting buried in red, and the unit pickups a negative modifier towards the Reputation check. Success means they are on top of the case load, with no negative or beneficial effect. A raise means they've earned a Favor Token for the unit to use that episode, but helping out the clearance rating with other units.
I'm intending to use a modified version of the Reputation rules from Gum Shoe game Ashen Stars. Essentially, the Unit has a reputation within the department and the community. It's similar to charisma but effects the whole unit, and changes as the players do well or poorly, or at least cover their tracks. Over the course of an episode they earn bonuses and penalties depending on actions, and at the end of the episode they make a reputation check with these modifiers to see if their actions have improved or worsened their reputation.
Department Favors
Because the Special Investigations Unit has a nebulously described jurisdiction, other units often drop troublesome cases in their lap. By getting through these cases, they earn favors within the department they can call in when it's important. These are represented as Favor Tokens, and they belong to the group as a whole. Each Departmental Favor token can be cashed in during an episode in order to get some boon from elsewhere in the police department. Immediate back-up, dibs on the crime lab's time, a loan of better gear, another vehicle from the motor pool, more time on a case from the chief, etc. No check is needed to use a token, although the GM has final say on what boons are allowed. Unspent tokens are lost at the end of an episode.
Fear Levels
Still modifying this from the Deadlands rules. The veil between this world and the next is weak in New Orleans, and fear only makes it easier for bad things to cross over. Each area of New Orleans has a fear level, often worsened by the presence of a supernatural monster. The fear level applies a penalty to Fear related checks in the area. Ending a supernatural threat, and then covering up the evidence of monsters, can reduce the fear level in an area. Doing so requires skill check to spin doctor (Persuasion mostly). Success reduce the level by 1, a raise by 2.
Fear levels are always one worse in the dark, and one better in day light. Night tends to increase the fear level anywhere without bright lighting, which is a lot of the city.
I may include a Deadlands like Grit rule as well, to provide a +1 bonus to Fear checks for every rank a character has.
Character Creation Rules
All player characters are Human police officers. Detectives by default, although other options might be allowed with GM approval.
Players get some extras at character creation as a result of having all gone through police training.
Before buying skills, characters start with a d4 in Driving, Fighting, Shooting, and Streetwise. Players are also saddled with an additional major hindrance: Serve and Protect without gaining extra points for it.
Starting Gear
In addition to their starting funds, the NOLA Police Department issues each character a S&W .357 Revolver, a Kevlar Vest, and Police Badge.

I've been having trouble finding any sort of list, only one I found was the one on the back of the Winner's Circle stuff. I have around 16-17 of the cars and heard there 23+ made.
Any help would be appreciated, trying to get a full collection the E1 Jeff Gordon cars.

2011 is shaping up to be a great year for parody videos, which is great but also sort of alarming because what happens when we get to the comedy singularity and the parody actually eclipses the pop culture phenomenon it is making fun of? Then what?
Well, no use worrying about it right now! We have stuff on the Internet to watch. Then you tell us which one you like the best. Then Skynet and terminators and I Have No Mouth But I Must Scream blah blah blah. You get the picture. More

Media Contact: Diane Curtis 415/538-2028 email@example.com
San Francisco, Nov. 19, 2010, 6:00 p.m. – The State Bar of California's Committee of Bar Examiners reported today that 54.8 percent of the applicants passed the July 2010 General Bar Examination (GBX). If the 4,690 people who passed the July 2010 exam satisfy other requirements for admission, they will become members of the State Bar.
Preliminary statistical analyses show that of the 8,562 applicants who took the GBX, 71.1 percent were first-time takers. The passing rate for 6,084 first-time applicants was 68.0 percent overall. The passing rate for the 2,478 applicants repeating the examination was 22.0 percent overall.
Preliminary statistical analyses show the first-time and repeater percent passing the GBX (rounded to whole numbers) by law school type as follows:
The applicants not included in the above totals either were attorneys admitted in other states who either chose or were required to take the GBX, attorneys admitted in foreign jurisdictions, law students in the Law Office/Judge's Chambers Study Program or law students who qualified to take the GBX through four years of law study. More detailed statistics, including passing rates by individual law schools, will be made available in approximately four to six weeks and published on the State Bar's website at http://admissions.calbar.ca.gov/.
The three-day General Bar Examination is given twice a year, in February and July. The exam consists of three sections: a multiple-choice Multistate Bar Examination (MBE), six essay questions and two performance tests that are designed to assess an applicant's ability to apply general legal knowledge to practical tasks. The mean scaled MBE score in California was 1453 compared with the national average of 1436.
In addition, the committee announced that 143 (41.6 percent) of the 344 lawyers who took the Attorneys' Examination passed.
The Attorneys' Examination, which consists of the essay and performance test sections of the GBX, is open to lawyers who have been admitted to the active practice of law in good standing for at least four years in another United States jurisdiction.
Successful applicants who have satisfied other requirements for admission – those who have not been reported by local district attorneys for being in arrears with family or child support payments, who have received a positive moral character determination and who have passed the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination – may either take the Attorney's Oath individually or participate in admissions ceremonies held throughout the state during December 2010.
NOTE TO EDITORS: The pass list for the July 2010 California Bar Examination can be found on, and downloaded from, the State Bar's home page: www.calbar.ca.gov on November 21 at 6 a.m., P.S.T. The list will be organized both alphabetically and by ZIP code.
Founded in 1927 by the state legislature, The State Bar of California is an administrative arm of the California Supreme Court, serving the public and seeking to improve the justice system for more than 80 years. All lawyers practicing law in California must be members of the State Bar. By November 2010, membership reached 228,000.

It is a shame to see the best closer possibly ever go down like that. Hope he has a speedy recovery!
It is a shame to see the best closer possibly ever go down like that. Hope he has a speedy recovery!
Pettitte gets the loss but he looked decent his first start after a one hiatus. Let's see if he can carry over the 20 games or so he will pitch.
"I will smash your face into a car windshield, and then take your mother Dorothy Mantooth out for a nice seafood dinner and never call her again"
What was once a strength this season, now looks like a medical ward!
The Yankees once-stellar three-man back-end of the bullpen is now down to one, at least temporarily. David Robertson has been placed on the 15-day disabled list with a strained left oblique muscle, the Yankees announced Tuesday afternoon.
Robertson, 27, hadn't pitched since May 11 due to the oblique issue. He had yet to allow a single earned run until his May 9 outing against the Rays, when he blew the save and allowed four runs. Still, that's the only time this season he's allowed any earned runs, and he has a 2.51 ERA with 24 strikeouts in 14 1/3 innings.
Up and down, up and down. I fear it is the season ahead, the pitching just isn't good enough right now.
and then the pitching wakes up in the last 10. WTF? I don't understand it with the Yanks. They're on then they're off.
I like everything but the hitting with runners in scoring position. That is a major concern right now with the Yanks.

In order to understand the current medical practice on gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) [2] screening and management, an online survey was sent to 250 general practitioners, obstetricians/gynaecologists, diabetologists, and endocrinologists throughout India, working in both public and private health facilities. A varying number of responses were received for different sections of the survey, with the overall distribution of respondents covering sixteen states.
Screening and diagnosis
65% of respondents typically did not screen until after the 16th week of pregnancy. However, almost one in five screened in the first eight weeks. 86% of respondents screened all pregnant women, but the remaining 14% screened only those with risk factors (e.g. family history of diabetes). The criteria used to diagnose GDM varied across all respondents, with four different sets of criteria all used by at least 18% of respondents.
The main problem reported with screening was nausea caused by the concentrated glucose solution consumed during screening, which was reported by just over half of respondents. 15% reported the lack of clear GDM screening and diagnosis criteria as a difficulty. 13% responded that testing takes too long in the opinion of women, and the same proportion noted that women are not able to come in fasting for tests. However, almost 40% did not experience any constraints.
Over 90% of centres provided education to women with positive screening results on the need for tight control of GDM, fetal complications, and the risk of type 2 diabetes. 98% of respondents recommended physical activity for women with GDM. Of those giving further information, 96% recommended walking (average ca. 30 minutes per day), 43% recommend yoga (average ca. 20 minutes per day), and 38% recommended upper body exercises (average ca. 15 minutes per day). Dietary recommendations were similarly widely given, by 98% of respondents. With regard to pharmacological interventions, over 90% of respondents prescribed insulin therapy to some extent. Metformin was used by approximately half of respondents, whilst sulphonylurea drugs were prescribed very rarely, and exclusively in combination with metformin; half of respondents did not use OHAs.
Instances where pregnant women sometimes do not follow advice was the most commonly reported limitation in managing GDM for physicians, and was reported by 35% of respondents. One in five respondents had difficulties in following women, and a similar proportion reported a lack of coordination between hospitals.
The data from this survey provides information on the current state of GDM care in India, and also highlights the lack of consistency and uniformity in screening and management of GDM, and the constraints experienced. Such issues are common around the world, and it is for this reason that IDF initiated the WINGS project. The WINGS Model of Care is currently being piloted in Chennai, India, with the aim of developing a set of guidelines suitable for use in other low and middle income countries. The Model recommends screening of all women at the first antenatal visit using a 2hour-75g OGTT blood glucose level of 140mg/dl. The WINGS Model of Care will help to unify practice in GDM care by offering a feasible and effective set of guidelines which are complementary to the basis of care described by this data and which can be integrated into existing systems for maternal and child health.

Gwyneth Paltrowco-host, Spain… on the road Again
A Hollywood legend in the making, Gwyneth Paltrow has defied the odds by remaining one of today's most prolific and celebrated actors in the ever-changing film industry. A testament to her undeniable talent, her role in Shakespeare in Love catapulted her into awards stardom with Best Actress honors at the Golden Globes, Screen Actors Guild Awards and Academy Awards. Her career has been studded with both critically acclaimed independents and studio blockbusters that have made her a fixture for this generation's film audience.
Paltrow starred in Marvel's Iron Man, which grossed over $100 million in its opening weekend. Paltrow took on the role of Virginia "Pepper" Potts, personal secretary and confidant to Tony Stark aka Iron Man. Paltrow recently completed production of James Gray's romantic drama Two Lovers with Joaquin Phoenix, which premiered at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival.
Paltrow recently made her directorial debut, co-writing and co-directing Dealbreakers, a short film she directed with her friend Mary Wigmore.
Paltrow's recent film credits include Proof, the film adaptation of the Pulitzer Prize- winning play in which Paltrow recently finished a successful run at London's Dunmar Theater. Her performance as a harassed young woman struggling to care for her eccentric math genius father reunited her with her Shakespeare in Love director, John Madden, who also directed the film co-starring Anthony Hopkins, Jake Gyllenhaal and Hope Davis. She received an Olivier Award nomination for Best Actress for her work in the play and a Golden Globe nomination for her work in the film.
Sylvia, the Focus Features film tells the story of the relationship between Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes. Paltrow has appeared in director Anthony Mighella's The Talented Mr. Ripley opposite Matt Damon, Jude Law, and Cate Blanchett and in the hit film A Perfect Murder opposite Michael Douglas and Viggo Mortensen, as well as in the critically acclaimed and international box office hit film Sliding Doors.
Paltrow's work on the public television series Spain… on the road Again marks her first foray on a television series. While in high school, she spent time in Spain as a foreign exchange student, where she fell in love with the country and has been "officially adopted" by Talavera de la Reina, a region of Castilla La Mancha.
Born in Los Angeles, Paltrow stems from a very close-knit family deeply entrenched in the entertainment industry. Her father, Bruce Paltrow was a highly successful producer (St. Elsewhere, The White Shadow) and her mother is the award-winning actress Blythe Danner. Paltrow and her younger brother Jake spent their early childhood in Los Angeles, where she attended St. Augustine by the Sea (now known as Crossroads).
At the age of 11, her family moved to New York and she enrolled in the Spence School where she would later graduate. Paltrow enrolled in the University of California at Santa Barbara with the intention of majoring in Art History. She quickly learned that college life was not something she felt committed to and withdrew from school despite her father's strong recommendation to remain. It wasn't until he caught her moving performance in the Williamstown Theater production of Picnic, starring opposite her mother and Tony Goldwyn, that he lent his support in her pursuit of an acting career.
Paltrow currently resides in New York City and London.

Teach "place" or "kennel" or what ever u use using a mat on the ground. Once dog understands that, start moving mat to stand or chairs or anything like that off the ground. Start low if u need to and gradually get taller.
I have a dog stand sitting in my pattern field. Before every training session I get them to get on the stand. In no time they will run to the stand and jump up to start training. I usually put the collar on them after they get on the stand.

great work: it's a really nice piece.
Really nice!
I ordered the larger size one from shapeways and they sent me a smaller version of the first edition you did for the custom wheel .
It's labeled correctly on the packing slip, but it's definitely the other version (I checked my invoice and i definitely ordered the larger size chest).
It was also malformed . The "clasp" on the front was half missing .

So Shapeways indeed messed up, but they fixed the error and sent me the correct item!
And here it is all painted. This is the larger of the two custom chests and the infinity wheel fits perfectly.
This is so well designed and the top of the chest fit in the hinges of the bottom of the chest so well.
You should be very proud of this design!! Please make more items like this!!

Shares of touch sensor technology maker Uni-Pixel (UNXL) are down $3.54, or 25%, at $10.50, after the company this afternoon disclosed in an 8-K filing with the Securities & Exchange Commission that the Commission is inquiring about the company's business deals:
On November 19, 2013, the Company learned that the Fort Worth Regional Office of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") has issued subpoenas concerning the Company's agreements related to its InTouch Sensors. The Company intends to cooperate fully with the SEC regarding this non-public, fact-finding inquiry. The SEC has informed the Company that this inquiry should not be construed as an indication that any violations of law have occurred or that the SEC has any negative opinion of any person, entity or security. The Company does not intend to comment further on this matter unless and until this matter is closed or further action is taken by the SEC which, in the Company's judgment, merits further comment or public disclosure.
Uni-Pixel had been the subject of a skeptical article by my colleague Avi Salzman back in May in Barron's print magazine.
Uni-Pixel stock closed down 12 cents, or 0.9%, at $14.04 in regular trading.

Crime, the intentional commission of an act usually deemed socially harmful or dangerous and specifically defined, prohibited, and punishable under criminal law.
Most countries have enacted a criminal code in which all of the criminal law can be found, though English law—the source of many other criminal-law systems—remains uncodified. The definitions of particular crimes contained in a code must be interpreted in the light of many principles, some of which may not actually be expressed in the code itself. For example, many legal systems take into account the mental state of the accused person at the time the alleged ... (100 of 13,251 words)

Been trying out Jeff Schrager's tutorial Intelligent Computational Biology in BioLisp.
Avoiding thesis work by writing an Eiffel version of Goldberg's Simple Genetic Algorithm. Appears to work but performance is disappointing: about half the speed of the C version. Turning off GC makes little difference.
chalst suggests scsh as an alternative to OCaml. My main interest in OCaml is as a language that I can write can code in as quickly as in a scripting language and compile to get high performance if necessary. (My real interest is in modelling protein structures which needs every drop of performance I can get). That said, I like the design philosophy behind scsh and the idea of embedding domain-specific little languages.
The only real reasons I prefer OCaml over Scheme is that it's statically typed and it has a reputation for being very fast. I'm not sure these are good reasons. Scheme programmers seem to manage just fine without static typing and Brad Lucier showed that, using Gambit-C, you could get performance equivalent to C from Scheme code for number-crunching PDEs.
I think I'm a Scheme programmer at heart but for mercenary reasons I've learning to live with C++ and trying to ignore my suspicion that using Scheme would help me to "beat the averages".
Invested in a copy of The C++ Programming Language last weekend.
My other language is OCaml.
Tinkering with OCaml. An example in Chapitre 12 of the O'Reilly OCaml book shows how blocks allocated in external C code using malloc() can be reclaimed automatically by the OCaml GC using a finalisation function that calls free(). This would be very convenient for writing an OCaml interface to GSL.
Working on extending the loop modelling program. Had a brief flirtation with doing it in Eiffel but decided to switch to C++ for mercenary reasons. Suspect that if I'd done it in Eiffel, I'd have a working program by now instead of being bogged down in the myriad details of C++.

Krush Announces 58kg Tournament Quarterfinal Matchups + Additional Matchups for 1/14
- Written by Dave Walsh
With the excitement surrounding Krush's 67kg Tournament, it is easy to forget that about two weeks later, on January 26th, Krush will also be hosting the first round of their 58kg tournament. While it is not a one-night tournament like the 67kg one, it does feature top fighters in Nobuchika Terado and Takeru, and Krush recently announced the quarterfinal matchups for their second tournament of 2013. In the upper half of the bracket, tournament favorite and ISKA Bantamweight champion Nobuchika Terado faces KO-ICHI while prospects Koji and Shota Kanbe square off. In the lower half, Takeru faces J-Network's Kenta Yagami while Tsuyoshi Nakajima and Yuzo Suzuki face each other in the opening round of a tournament for the 2nd time. Terado shouldn't have too much trouble with KO-ICHI, who was knocked out in his last two outings, though it was to champion Shota Takiya and recent title challenger Takumi. Unfortunately for him, Terado is also a recent title challenger that packs a good amount of power. A win by KO-ICHI would definitely be the upset of the tournament. In the second matchup I favor Kanbe, but a win for either man means a huge step up in competition, assuming Terado takes care of business. I favor Takeru over Yagami, though with Yagami being a bit of an unknown, anything could happen. Regardless, I'll take the winner of this matchup as the lower-bracket favorite. The final matchup is a rematch of a quarterfinal from last year's 60kg tournament, which Nakajima won by close majority decision. Nakajima is 0-2 since, while Suzuki is 2-1, most recently destroying Andrew "KEN" Brewster at Krush.24. Due to that performance, I give a slight edge to Suzuki in the rematch.
The 55kg WILDRUSH League is still set to open on this card, though Krush has not announced the final participant or matchups. Yoshihiro Sato also returns to Krush on this card against former 70kg champ Kenta, with the winner likely getting a title shot.
The other announcement coming from Krush is in regards to their 67kg Tournament event on January 14th, adding four additional fights. Among these four were a trio of 63kg fights, with Minoru Kimura vs NOMAN, Yukimitsu Takahashi vs Atsushi Ogata and Hisaki Higashimoto vs Taito. Kimura was a former K-1 Koshien participant and competed in this year's 63kg Youth GP, though he lost to Hiroto Yamaguchi in the opening round. NOMAN competed in the 63kg WILDRUSH League, finishing 3rd, putting together a 2-2-1 record with his losses coming to Hideaki Yamazaki and Hitoshi Tsukagoshi, the two men who placed above him. Takahasi also competed in the WILDRUSH League, finishing 5th with a 1-2-2 record, but putting on two of the tournament's most exciting fights in his two draws. Ogata scored an upset of Toshiki Taniyama back in July, but has lost 2 straight by knockout since to Seiji Takahashi and Hiroto Yamaguchi. Higashimoto competed in this year's 63kg Youth GP, surprisingly making it to the finals with an upset KO of Hiroya in his first pro fight and a semifinal win over Daizo Sasaki. He lost to Koya Urabe in the finals, but that was just his 3rd pro fight. Taito scored an upset himself earlier this year with a win over Keiji Ozaki, but most recently was knocked out by Ikki. The final fight announced was a 60kg matchup between Katsuya Goto and Leona Pettas. Goto made it to the finals of last year's 60kg tournament, but lost to Fumiya Osawa. In his only fight since, he was stopped by Kan Itabashi. Pettas went 3-0 in Krush this year, though he was facing less than stellar competition. Goto will be his first step up.
With the addition of these 4 fights as opening fights, this fight card is better than anything that Krush put on in 2012, and that's not to say that Krush was putting together bad cards. Yes, this is a special event as it is hosting a one-night tournament and is taking place at the Yoyogi National Gymnasium, but if this is the standard for big Krush in 2013, it should be a very fruitful year.

Marc Domingo Gygax, an assistant professor of classics, is leading a freshman seminar on "Truth and Objectivity in Ancient and Modern Historiography." The course compares the writings of ancient Greek and Roman historians with the work of modern historians to explore the degree to which objectivity can be achieved in the study of history.
Below left: Gygax (left) asked Ned Bennett (right) and the other students in the class to analyze the biases and narrative strategies of historians to try to answer the question, "Is there any such thing as historical truth?"

Seminars set the tone for freshmen
In their first semester as Princeton students, freshmen this fall have been exploring issues of identity through movement and dance, evaluating truth in historical texts and examining the impact of global warming through fieldwork in the waters of Bermuda.
These are among the array of topics covered in this year's Freshman Seminar Program. The seminars stress close interaction with faculty members in small-group settings and an emphasis on inquiry that will set the course for the students' years at Princeton. The 75 seminars being offered this fall and spring are expected to enroll some 1,000 freshmen, including a number who have signed up for both semesters.
Almost universally, students say that their freshman seminar was one of their best academic experiences at Princeton and was the catalyst for some of their most enduring intellectual friendships with fellow students. Each seminar is hosted by a residential college. Class discussions often continue in informal settings both on and off campus, through meals, guest lectures, field trips and other activities.
The Dec. 10 issue of the Princeton Weekly Bulletin includes stories on three of this fall's freshman seminars.

Promoting a fresh look at history
Posted December 20, 2007; 10:52 a.m.
From the Dec. 10, 2007, Princeton Weekly Bulletin
As he scribbled the names and dates of several Roman historians on the blackboard, Professor Marc Domingo Gygax challenged students in his freshman seminar to dig deeper.
Instead of discussing facts and figures, the students analyzed the methods, biases and narrative strategies of those writers and many others to try to answer the question, "Is there any such thing as historical truth?"
"In high school, we just learned names and dates," said Clayton Schwarz, one of 13 students in the class. "Here, we're looking at how people write history — how they evaluate sources — instead of what they're writing. "
The freshman seminar, "Truth and Objectivity in Ancient and Modern Historiography," compares the writings of ancient Greek and Roman historians such as Polybius and Tacitus with the work of modern historians to explore the degree to which objectivity can be achieved in the study of history. The students also read the work of 20th-century historians who have written about the problem of truth and objectivity to think about how to evaluate a historical text.
"The line between fact and fiction often is not clear," said Gygax, who is an assistant professor of classics. "We can see that in ancient history, and then we can ask ourselves if the same thing happens in modern history."
The students had plenty of questions during a recent class as they discussed the influence of rationalism and the use of specifics versus generalities in the writings of Herodotus and Thucydides. They also debated the reasons why Fabius Pictor, a Roman historian born about 250 B.C., wrote in Greek.
"Maybe he thought the language was more descriptive?" suggested Nick O'Neill.
"Greek was the international language spoken all around the Mediterranean," noted Suzie Raga. "By writing in Greek, he's implying Rome needs to pay attention to other nations."
"It was the language spoken by educated people at the time," the professor remarked. "Pictor also does it as a way for Romans to introduce themselves to the Greeks." Gygax also noted that "Pictor was influenced by Greek historiographic models and may have felt that Greek was the most adequate language for writing history in prose."
Arda Bozyigit said he chose the class because "I follow politics, and I often wonder if the political decisions countries make depend on truthful accounts of history or on historians who were opinionated."
Raga, who is interested in studying classics, said she was enjoying the class because "we're looking at history from a different angle than I've ever encountered before."
O'Neill said he has benefited from the conversations that go on in class. "We're learning about Greek writers that I had heard about but never delved into," he said. "It's interesting to hear not just the professor but what everybody else has to say."
The students are learning critical skills that will serve them in many fields, whether they go on to major in history, classics or even engineering, the subject in which Bozyigit plans to major.
"I hope at the end of the course the students will have many more questions than answers," Gygax said. "The first step in scholarship is asking the right questions."

Local businesses excited about possible state venture capital fund
LA CROSSE, Wis. -- - Among the many challenges small businesses face these days is finding the money to expand.
It's a problem Gov. Scott Walker is hoping to help solve in his proposed budget, by setting aside $25 million to help companies do just that.
The venture capital program is being received with open arms by some in the small business community.
While they're happy about the funding, they're concerned $25 million won't be enough.
After only about a year into business, orders are pouring into Wyatt Bicycles in La Crosse.
"This past week I've been assembling about 20 bicycles by myself," said owner Whyatt Hrudka.
Like many startup businesses, Hrudka says his business is ready to expand.
"Additional funding to hire employees would really help," said Hrudka.19047686
Right now, Hrudka's business produces single gear bikes. With a little extra capital he could expand his product line to include some multi-gear models.
"There are a lot of limitations with businesses right now because they go to the banks and get that additional funding and it's hard for the banks to say, 'We'll do it,'" said Hrudka.
Hrudka's situation is not unique.
Local small business development centers say Walker's proposed $25 million venture capital investment fund is needed by many companies across the state.
"Those are the kinds of things these small businesses need to get going," said David Loomis, Coulee Region Business Center director.
"The need is great and everyone notes that," said Anne Hlavacka, director of the Small Business Development Center.
Walker's program will try to partner with private investors to build the fund.
"The state would be providing some funding and then look to raise, I believe it would be a 2 for 1, they would invest $25 million and look for an additional $50 million raised through private sources," said Hlavacka.
But even so, some worry it's still not enough.
"The one item most people comment on is whether or not it's adequate. It would be a handful of companies that would be able to access it because it's not that large of a fund as it's currently proposed," said Hlavacka.
"There's so many businesses out there that have ideas and can expand," said Hrudka.
Hlavacka says the venture capital fund is just one piece needed to help businesses grow.
She says there are a lot of other initiatives going on in the state right now to help small businesses get off the ground.
Walker is proposing the fund be managed by Department of Administration.
It would be up to the Legislature to decide how the program would be run.

Formanta Polivoks
The Polivoks is the most popular vintage Russian synth made in the early 80's and it was among the first synthesizers produced in the USSR. It's purely analog with two voices of polyphony, two oscillators each with triangle, square, saw, two types of pulse waveforms and one noise generator, the levels of which are controlled via the internal mixer. Although the oscillators can become unstable and difficult to tune, the Polivoks is well suited for making screeching sounds and thunderous bass. You can also connect an external audio input for processing through the Polivoks' switchable dual-mode band pass/low pass filter and LFO sections. The LFO, or "Modulator" offers triangle, square, random and noise waveshapes and can be applied to the oscillator level and pitch or the filter cutoff. There are also two ADSR envelopes for contouring the oscillators and filters.
Polivoks had been produced since 1982 by the Formanta electronic factory (one of the biggest at the time); it was sold exclusively in the USSR. Polivoks has its own unique electronic components including a reliable keyboard (49 notes F to E) made with magnetically controlled contacts and DIN sockets for its three outputs and one input. Its synthesis modules consist of independent circuit boards, which is convenient for maintenance and repair. In addition, Polivoks is housed in an original rugged aluminum body of uncommon design with handy controls.
One more thing though, if you come across one of these it helps if you can read Russian. Check out this Panel Layout Translation to English.

I'll be honest — I've never thought too much about John Isner past the speed of his serve (the guy's 6'9). But this picture is just doing it for me big time. Backwards hat, that jawline, it's all working. Hey, I like height!

Sam you beautiful man, I hate you for making me momentarily wish I went to Michigan. I'm sure Jake's a nice guy and I don't mean to pick on him, but Sam's cute little face blows his out of the water.

Andy and I go way back. Meaning yes, my seventh grade locker was covered in pictures of him. What can I say, I had high hopes for the kid back then. Even though he lost, I can't just throw away years of dedication. The man still looks damn good.

Eventually after not using windows one starts becoming moderate and starts claiming that all operating systems have their place in the scheme of things during slashdot discussions. After using exclusivly windows for a week one realises that is not the case. It's pretty interesting how ignorence and moderation are so closely related. Perhaps objectivity is merely the state of not knowing enough to have a preference. I'm also just not comfortable on windows at the moment. I can't actually even think of a way to spellcheck todays blog on this accursed operating system. However, it's not like my dad runs a totally microsofty system, I'm using firefox for the first time and I really like it. I've been using epiphany for my web browsing needs recently but I think I like firefox better, and firefox should really fit in on my gnome desktop quite well by the looks of things. The problem is that even when I get my computer transported in a few days time, I will still be stuck hundreds of kilometers from my 512Kb/s internet connection and on dialup so I won't be able to download it, I fucking hate dialup.

|Welcome Jere, it's great to have you in the Forum and Spey Clave. I hope to fish with you someday!

I'm really looking forward to meeting/shareing you with the other folks at the Clinic the end of this month.

Introducrion of MYself
I am a rookie to the two hander. I've been fishing for almost 50 yrs. and have enjoyed every minute of it. I lost my fishing buddie father 15 yrs. ago and its been hard to go back to some of the streams we fished together. I was introduced to the big rainbows at 12 yrs. of age in Watkins Glenn, NY. when my dad let me bag school and join a bunch of dentists that took an annual trip to fish Cathrine's Creek. We fished fly rods with single action reels and straight monofilament. Roe was not kosher so I had spent days cutting sponge balls. Short line drifts produced rainbows up to 12#. When I got out of school and started making some money it was my turn to repay dad for his investment by taking him on the fishing trips. We fished chasing the rainbows in Michigan on the Little Manistee, the Salmon River in NY., and the Willouby River in Vt. I cherrished these trips, and we looked forward to them from year to year.
Since I lost my buddie, I've changed to more Fly Fishing. I've fished Alaska Wild Steelhead six times and the Lower Dean last June. The two hander and this board have added a new dimention to my persuit of the wild fish. I'm going to be at the Spey Clave in Medford, to meet some of you and learn to use this new tool with more proficiency. I know that I will then have more fun in Ak the end of April.

Anti-McDonald's protest takes root in southern town
Wednesday March 05, 2008
By Jarrod Booker New Zealand Herald
Consent has been given for the restaurant to be built on the site at Motueka, near Nelson, but a group calling itself Uniquely Motueka is standing in the way.
The group says McDonald's will add only unwanted health, trash and traffic problems to the town of about 7000.
The proposed restaurant site was dug up into a "community garden" on Sunday night with a variety of flowers and vegetables planted "to represent the diversity in the community that McDonald's never will", said Uniquely Motueka spokeswoman Tara Forde.
A 1000-signature petition against the restaurant has also been given to the local Tasman District Council.
"I don't think it's as easy as winning or losing," Ms Forde said.
"It's about showing McDonald's they are not welcome in a lot of small towns around New Zealand, and the tide is turning on their business as people become more socially aware."
Residents in the Auckland suburb of Balmoral are fighting a similar battle.
A McDonald's spokeswoman said the company was "relatively surprised" at the level of opposition in Motueka.
"But it's important to understand that generally people who oppose things will be the loudest.
"We feel that part of the community are supportive of us."
The Motueka McDonald's restaurant is due to be built by May. The Mayor of Tasman District, Richard Kempthorne, said it was "absolutely a done deal", and the matter could no longer be influenced by the council.

|Stripers and Coastal Gamefish Stripers, Blues, Inshore tuna!
|Topic Review (Newest First)
RE:Any Suggestions?
To clarify, I haven't fished the tip of PI yet.... this year! Sandy Pt is a state beach area and since the rest of the island is off limits to protect shore birds it will fill up quick. Getting there at dawn is the best medicine.
On the point, they usually cordon off the rocky reef to the north east of the parking area. This really pisses me off because one can walk in the water to fly fish effectively. Actually, when I called Monomoy Wildlife Refuge they said I could walk in the water anywhere - even in restricted areas as long as I stayed in the water. I wonder if this is the same for PI / Refuge?
The rocky reef at the tip of the island is as close to a sure thing as there is for schoolies and occasional big fish (off hours, night). I have the best luck there on incoming tides near full.
Sand bars (change every year) extend off the sandy pt beach heading toward Crane's / Ipswich River mouth, providing breaks for fish to station behind... but the best action is a mile or so down the beach at Sunet Beach and it's structure near deep water. If the tides moving the fish get all excited and hunt around, but we've found them laying around on slack tides on the shoal between the points. Almost like Florida fishing.
Best thing to do is hop on a boat and fish the bars and shoals upriver from Sandy Pt, which is effectively the opening of the passage between Joppa and Cranes, the backside of PI. This is a mixing pot of warm PI River water and shrinky-dink Ipswich water with bright water and feisty fish as soon as the water warms up elsewhere (ie: upriver).
Crane's provides night access by registering w/ Ipswich town hall for a fee of 250. That's two dollars and fifty cents! You have to walk in from the outside gate, but once the dog days roll around the stripers love that cold water and it often provides great fishing opportunities in beautiful surroundings. I enjoy night fishing there because of the hardness and cleanliness of the sand. It lights up nicely on a partial moon allowing use of profile flies against the sky as well as dark sand eel patterns against the sand.
The current situation appears to be that bait has moved into the Merrimac river and the action is upriver... for now. Once the river turns to beef barley soup the fish will be thick around the refuge again.
Anybody been out there yet this year?
RE:Any Suggestions?
I'm from Newburyport and whenever I tire of Joppa I go to the southern tip of PI where there's plenty of room.
The Salisbury Jetty is also, IMO, more productive than any spot around. About 3/4 of the way out, on the beach side is a reef which is reliable at the top of the outgoing or on an incoming tide, don't risk going to the end of the jetty, it isn't worth it.
If you are fairly adventurous there's also Moseley Pines on the left hand side of Merrimac street just before you cross the Chain Bridge into Salisbury. It's a tough place to fly fish and a steep walk down to the river but a very productive place with a drift of a sinking line, especially with bait around. Big stripers hang in the flow. The island off of Chain Bridge is good too but it can get crowded with too many meat fisherman.
Off of Route 1 in Newbury near Fernald's are some good access points. Smelly marshes but it can be productive. The area is great with a canoe or kayak. I'm not sure if Fernald's still rents them though.
Also, Juro is right on with recommending the beachfront on PI. Everyone packs in at the point for the easy pickings and it's too popular. There are plenty of spots to park and decent beach access along the way. Some serious water moves along that beachfront and so do big stripers this time of year.
Good luck.
RE:Any Suggestions?
Hello Bill!
My son and I ran an errand last weekend so of course we took a detour by PI! The place was a mob scene and the fishing was so/so. We saw five guys out on Joppa as we drove by.
Low tides are late this weekend so either the beach crowd will join you or the morning fishermen would have left by then, it could go either way.
The bait has been much thicker up river, we stopped around the docks at Nbypt and up and there was bait everywhere. Some locals informed us that schoolies were busting everywhere around Stripers Restaurant the night before. I suspect that with the abundance of bait upriver that Joppa would have a lot of fish on the ebb. The low tide is at 1.3 ft so it's not extreme by any stretch, just get off there with plenty of time once the incoming starts to run hard.
You'll have a high tide around dawn so you might consider the oceanfront, fishing around the jetties placed along the beach to preserve the sand from the mouth down to the corner near the baitshop. I'd go to that option just to get away from the crowds, and there should be some fish in the wash this time of year.
If you know any accesses upriver they might be worth investigating this weekend. Another option would be to try Hampton on the south side of the bridge from the fisherman's terminal all the way around to the beachfront rocks. It's not always as productive as other areas but it's beautiful and there's always a few fish around.
I havent' done the end of the refuge yet but I suspect the water in the Ipswich area is very cold. If you could get up into Plum Island sound near the shoals and flats (north of sunset beach) you should do well; so the PLum Island river should be holding some fish too as far as crowdless opportunities are concerned.
With the outgoing starting at dawn, consider the Salisbury side from the pick east to the jetty base. Fish deep and slow with sand eels patterns in the seams between current and eddy and you should score pretty well.
good luck!
Any Suggestions?
Hello everyone! There is a good chance that I may be heading up to Newburyport for the weekend. I will of course bring the 9 weight, but I'm a little hesitant about fishing at the point due to weekend crouds. I have fished Joppa before and managed 1 tiny bass. Is Joppa fairly productive right now? When is the best time to fish Joppa? Does anyone have any recommendations as to locations harboring more fish than people? I want to fish but I try to avoid the mob scenes. Sometimes, it just doesn't seem like fly fishing. Any advice will be very much appreciated.
Best regards,
Bill R

ST. PETERSBURG – Progress Energy Florida, a subsidiary of Duke Energy, is urging customers be on alert for a new utility bill payment scam affecting customers across the country.
Under the scam, customers are receiving a call informing them their electric service is scheduled for immediate disconnection and they should make a payment by purchasing a "Green Dot Pak" card at a local drug or convenience store. Progress Energy has received reports of customers who have been contacted about this scam in both its Carolinas and Florida service territories.

Workforce Connection wants businesses to use it. All they want. Anytime.
And the best part of the offer is that the career agency's services are free.
That's the message brought to business owners attending the July 27 meeting of the Greater Chiefland Area Chamber of Commerce by Linda Keyton, Human Resources Recruitment Specialist with Workforce Connection's Chiefland office.
Keyton assured business owners and managers, "Everything we do is free."
Unemployment in Levy County in June was up to 9.7 percent up 0.6 percent from May, according to Workforce Connection, the state's regional career agency for Levy, Marion and Citrus counties. But the small dip is nothing new as the state has a summertime dip in employment rates, according to employment officials. And the good news is that it is lower than the same time last year when it was 11.7 and in June 2010 when it was 12.1 percent.

So, I can finally cross something off my "bucket list" — learning to knit!
I decided the other day (after seeing my neighbor pick up her crochet hook for the first time in a long time) that I would grab my needles and try to – again – knit SOMETHING. Took a few videos on YouTube and a few times ripping stitches off the needles and trying again (five times actually) but I got it! Granted, it's reversed and dropped in a few places and I'm not sure exactly what I'm going to end up with in the end – but it is further than I've ever gotten with a knitting project!
So, I'm super DUPER pleased with myself!
First – I started to sew again and now I've picked up knitting!
I also vacuumed and mopped two rooms today, took off my pantry doors and removed a shelf! Maybe I won't need that lobotomy after all!

What, the Tusken Raider is really only available this weekend? That's ridiculous! Ugh, I can't even get over there until next weekend.

"Hokey packaging and ancient gimmicks are no match for good detail on your figure, kid."
"I am a Klingot from Oklahoma in human boy form."
"We came, we saw, we conquered... We, woke up!"
I missed out on the Tusken, too. Unbeknownst to me, my Hallmark store opened at 6am this morning, and...you guessed it..the scalpers ate them up. I'll call around if I get a chance.
"In my experience there's no such thing as luck."
I must have got lucky then, as I showed up at 9 am on Saturday, and was able to get myself a Tusken ornament. Went back today, and they were all gone, including the display. Someone told me that they had a limited quanity of 5 per store.

I go for the early opening every year, having collected these ornaments ever since the first Falcon and Yoda ones came out. I lucked out and got a Tusken Raider Saturday, but it was clear someone had bought one or two before me - and I was only 5 minutes late! Normally it's a bunch of elderly folks and a few mothers, with me the lone young guy in there, but I actually had to squeeze between people, thanks to the setup (and the fact that one person was in a wheelchair and took up have the small aisle in front of the ornaments - I don't want to be disrespectful, but I hate when people do that, then get on your case because you want to be able to get to the merchandise, too).
I'm guessing the scalpers around here either didn't know, or didn't care, but I hope this "limted SW ornament" idea doesn't become permanent. Scalping Christmas ornaments is about as low as you can get.
"I take orders from just one person - ME!"
I was at the Hallmark in Northridge right at 10:00 am when they openned and did not see the Tusken ornament. I asked the sales person and he said they were all gone. They only received 6 for the whole weekend. I asked when they went on sale because the store was not crowded. He told me that to make it fair they decided to promise them to their 6 best customers instead of putting them out on the floor for the general public. How is that fair? He called another local Hallmark and they too were sold out. As I was leaving he told me to check ebay. Moron. I called my Hallmark in the Valencia mall and they actually had one available. I asked if it could be held and they said they would for the day. I was unable to get it, so my wife went over and bought it for me. I thought that there would be enough to last at least the whole weekend. I was thinking at least 50 would be available for each store. I hope this does not become a habit every year.
I got the Tusken, Jawa&R2, Ben's Hutt diorama but not the Falcon cause they were gone from the 2 stores I was at (or not there yet like the AT-AT last year)
Hating aurra sing since 1999.
I've noticed that the standard 50% off sales have been less this year; also, I've not seen too many of the 3 SW '07 ornaments. I already have all of them (alas, no Tusken of course ), but still...
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
I wish I would have waited to get the Ben's diorama, and the Falcon ornaments. I bought one set of each before Christmas, and one set after. They had so many left I could have got two for the price of 1. I really wanted to get a second Jawas with droid, but they were all sold out before Christmas on that one.

I also used to wait for the standard 50% off Star Wars Ornament post Holiday sale, but unfortunately I have noticed the past few years that it is rare for a Star Wars ornament, to last that long (at least the electronic ones) and have been scooping them up prior to the Holiday. So far I have 7 electronic ones (Death Star, Falcon, Star Destroyer, Kenobi vs. Anakin, Kenobi and Luke, Vader, and AT-AT) - plus a handful of nonelectronic ones. Might have to get a new tree exclusively for them.
"The dark side clouds everything. Impossible to see, the future is. But this I am sure of - do their duty the Jedi will." --Yoda from Attack of the Clones.
I'm WAY behind on SW ornaments. Normally, I've relied on family and friends to keep up with my collections, but they've been getting me other Hallmark ornaments instead. This year I received Ralphie, Randy, and the infamous leg lamp from A Christmas Story. All extremely cool, but I miss my SW Hallmark fix.
LBC: My favorite electronic ornament I have is the X-Wing.
If you don't have it, it's worth looking for.
¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!

But no manufacturer of wireless products can guarantee this for certain. Many products operate in the 2.4GHz range including Bluetooth devices, wireless routers and some cordless phones. In most cases the technology used allows the products to share the frequency range and coexist without interference. However, it is possible that one device could interfere with another depending on several variables; including the number of devices, their proximity to each other, and the amount and type of data sent. Because Atlantic Technology uses high grade components and proper shielding in our products, there is a better chance that our products will not interfere with your other wireless devices.

quote:Sanders is the man. I felt like I was overpaying.
Larry Sanders has been a shot block machine
What makes him special, though, is actually his combination of rebounding and blocking shots. Amazingly, he's the only active player on the list of guys who have averaged at least nine rebounds and three blocks for a season before the age of 25 (assuming Sanders keeps those numbers up the rest of the way). That list is populated by names such as David Robinson, Shaquille O'Neal, etc. While Sanders isn't on the level of those guys offensively, he's still a terrifically valuable fantasy player. The only wart on his fantasy résumé is that he's shooting 58.5 percent from the line, but that's up from last season's 47.4 percent, so maybe there's room for improvement. It will be interesting to see whether Sanders gets drafted ahead of guys such as Al Jefferson and DeMarcus Cousins heading into next season.
