- Profile: Hey, this is SammyPacks from YouTube. I'm 17 years old, and I started editing back when I was 13/14. I just recently starting venturing more into the editing since this past Summer. I've grown quite tired of the dramallama that goes on with all that copyrighting stuff on YouTube... so I decided to finally, really pay attention to my account on here.
I won't be posting too much, I barely do that on YouTube these days. I'm just so busy, and quite frankly editing isn't my #1, not even my #10 ._. It's last priority for me these days. I have also been unable to, due to the fact I don't have a computer, but I'm changing that very soon... so I hope to have something up here in no time! :)

Will FAO get anymore SW exclusives? We've already seen the exclusives from Target, Walmart and Toys R Us. Why isn't there any mention about FAO or for that matter KayBees?
Will FAO get anymore SW exclusives? We've already seen the exclusives from Target, Walmart and Toys R Us. Why isn't there any mention about FAO or for that matter KayBees?
SSG Dioramas Editor
ACPin Star Wars Webmaster
Well, we don't actually "see" the Target Exclusives....I never saw a skiff or a Y-Wing. And I don't think K-B and FAO will be in the "Exclusive" club anymore due to the stringent demandsof Hasbro that must be met after the Episode 1 fallout.
For the love of corn I HOPE NOT! I hate exclusives but I hate FAO's handling of exclusives even more.
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
I have to agree with JT on FAO's entry into the exclusives market. Apart from the relative lack of FAO stores (only two in Texas that I know of), if you recall their past exclusives they are all terribly, prohibitively, and almost criminally EXPENSIVE!
I had never bought the Biggs/Wedge 12" set when it was out. When I went to see Star Wars The Magic of Myth in Houston I accidentally found the Houston FAO store. They had the ($75.00) Biggs/Wedge set at 75% off, I was back down this weekend and they had none.
"Does the name "Dingo" mean anything to you?" - Jedi Boulton to DingoDad at the October Dallas ComiCon.
We have no FAO stores here in Ohio, so I am glad there probably won't be anymore exclusives for them. Most of them were so completely overpriced as it was. I saw a few of them 2 summers ago in Chicago.
I say- let the exclusives go to the store that are a little more widespread. Yeah, FAO Schwartz is a cool toy store, but as a fan... I am certainly not going to travel just to take a look at them and turn my nose up at the price (or the sculpt for that matter).
I saw plenty of Skiffs, I blame you Target for ordering so many to be made!!!!!Originally posted by Rollo Tomassi
Well, we don't actually "see" the Target Exclusives....I never saw a skiff or a Y-Wing.
''You fool, my reach is far greater than the Jedi.Only a Sith can wield the force over such a great distance.'' - Darth Sidious
That is if u can call them exclusives, cuzz its true you see them in FAO, but in a couple of months they are in most hobby stores.
Exlusive toys?? The one i really remember was hard to get was the Froot Loops Kellogs Han Solo. Now thats an exclusive.
As always...........L
I was kind of honked off at paying $75 for the Famba but i guess it's my own fault. I wonder if they will ever make the other type of Famba, the one that shot the shield beam into the circular one that we have now. And when will K-Mart have an exclusive??
"pork is not a verb"
When they stop sucking and flirting with bankruptcy.Originally posted by hairless chewie
And when will K-Mart have an exclusive??
That's my jacket!
I highly doubt they'll get anymore. I mean, it'd take the re-release of the friggin' Imperial Shuttle for Hasbro to make the FAO exclusive mistake again.
Up, up, and OKAAAAY!!!

Been a while since my last post... Wonder why? Anyway Im back contributing a little.
Ive basically bought most of my LEGO Star Wars stuff at a local toy store here in Sundsvall, Sweden and Ive stayed in touch with the ever so kind Mrs. (Shes actually around my age and not an old hag I might add )in charge of the LEGO department at that toy store. Anyway, I think it was around the time of my last post that I made in June when I dropped by the toy store to check for items on sale when this Mrs. approached me and asked if I wanted a little something she had saved from some older store display and I said yeah sure Ill take it.
And wow that was a good thing as it was a smaller Star Wars display!
What I got was a Star Wars hanger baseplate display with following items:
7111 (Two) Droid Fighters. One in flight on stand and the other one walking. Both complete.
7141 (One) Naboo Fighter in flight on stand. Long (tail) antenna missing.
7151 (One) Sith Infiltrator. Darth Maul mini figure missing.
Baseplate includes flashing LEDs. All models are glued together for obvious reasons.
Its an ever so cool addition to my growing collection of LEGO Star Wars stuff and Ill check and see if I maybe can take some decent pictures of it later on and send to Mr. JediTricks but I cant make any promises as my camera is old and I cant afford one at the moment.
I mean... Ive just blown $2600.00 on my brand new SONY 36 widescreen TV... And then again theres a whole lot of new stuff coming... Star Destroyer... Must... Have... 8)
I also got a large LEGO Star Wars poster (movie size) with Anakin (Hayden C.) and LEGO versions of Jango Fetts Slave 1 chasing Obi-Wans Jedi Star Fighter as seen in the movie and its printed both on front and back on slightly thicker cardboard with other sets shown as well.
I also got a fabric flag as I in lack for better word in English cant find the correct word for it and as I cant find my dictionary and its in the same style as the poster but much larger and Ill see if I hopefully can take some good pictures of them both as well but well see later on.
Pretty cool huh guys and gals!?
Kindest regards,
Lars Olsson in Sundsvall, Sweden.
PS) I got my Ultimate Collector Series? Naboo Fighter last night and built it.

Keep your cursor centered vertically on the screen
Redirected from VimTip182
this wiki
When scrolling or searching through a large file, it can be convenient to keep the cursor line near the middle of the screen (vertically centered within the window). This tip introduces the
scrolloff option, and shows another possible technique using the
zz command.
Scrolloff optionEdit
'scrolloff' (scroll offset) option determines the number of context lines you would like to see above and below the cursor. The following command scrolls the text so that (when possible) there are always at least five lines visible above the cursor, and five lines visible below the cursor:
:set scrolloff=5
The above command can be abbreviated as
:set so=5. Entering
:set so=0 restores the default behavior so the cursor can be moved to any line in the window without scrolling.
Centering with scrolloffEdit
'scrolloff' to a large value causes the cursor to stay in the middle line when possible:
:set so=999
To restore normal behavior, enter:
:set so=0
If you change
'scrolloff' frequently, you may want to use a mapping. With the following in your vimrc, and assuming the default backslash leader key, you can type
\zz to toggle the value of
'scrolloff' between
0 and
:nnoremap <Leader>zz :let &scrolloff=999-&scrolloff<CR>
In an expression,
&scrolloff refers to the value of the
'scrolloff' option. The
:let command assigns a value to
'scrolloff'; that value is
999-0 if
'scrolloff' was
0, and is
999-999 if
'scrolloff' was
Mapping wanted keysEdit
An alternative to setting
'scrolloff' would be to remap some commands so that they vertically center the cursor, for example, when moving down or up with
j and
k. Remap the commands like this:
:nnoremap j jzz :nnoremap k kzz

Then after a week later, I spied upon a Wikipedia article here about the game itself.
The start of the paragraph is what intrigues me the very most. Here's a quote:
Mari0 is an open-source fan-made computer game that combines elements of the video games Super Mario Bros and Portal. The game was developed by Maurice Guégan of Stabyourself, who has previously worked on parody games such as Not Tetris. Mari0 was developed with the LÖVE framework , and is cross platform. The game has been released on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux, on March 3, 2012 . Upon release, the source code was made available.
The boldfaced text is where it gets me. According to the article, it implies that you can legally create/develop fan-made games based on games developed by other developers, then releasing it as open-source.
So, I have some questions:
- How is it legal? What rules prohibits this?
- If I want to mash Game A and Game B together, both of which are well known among the gaming community, and make it into Game A + B, can I call it Game C, then make it open-source without getting any cease-and-desist letters?
- Am I correct to ask such a question?

Ben Johnson, The White House Watch
The North Carolina Department of Transportation called for Barack Obama's impeachment — at least for one day.
Over the weekend, someone hacked into an electronic highway sign and changed its message to a huge, blinking, "Impeach Obama."
The sign — which is located at the intersection of Unionville-Indian Trail and Ridge roads in Union County, North Carolina — attracted drivers' attention but apparently no complaints to the state. WSOC-TV reports it notified the NCDOT about the sign's message on Sunday, and an engineer corrected the sign that evening.
Although one cannot condone this instance of defacing public property, the "Impeach Obama" message could be seen as equal time for the Obama propaganda signs that still….

2005 Gamesradar Preview San Andreas PC
GTA: San Andreas - General News | @ 08:59 AM MDT | By Neil
UK gaming website Gamesradar (linked to the UK edition of PC Gamer) have offered the country's first online preview of the PC version of GTA: San Andreas. It's very much a glossing over of the features outlined in other previews, with one notable exception:
You'll also be able to save the in-game photos you take as jpg files, which can then be emailed to friends and posted on web forums.So it looks like the camera feature will be returning, but this time in high resolution glory. Just as well, because there are plenty of people who don't understand the Print Screen Button on their keyboard :)
It'll make modders lives easier too, no need for tools to get the perfect shot of their latest creation. The HTML webpage feature was included in the PC version of Vice City, but look for further improvements in San Andreas.

| An estimated 131 inmates escaped from a prison in Piedras Negras, Mexico, on Sept. 17 in a real-life prison break. From an Alcatraz raincoat raft to a mattress in Nazi Germany, The Daily Beast rounds up other daring escapes.
See the Full Story at The Daily Beast
| Supposedly using a tunnel 10 feet long by 4 feet wide, about 131 inmates in a Mexican prison escaped to freedom Monday. The alleged tunnel, which began in a wood shop inside the prison, had "been there for months," according to Coahuila Attorney General Homero Ramos. But the massive escape is starting to look more like an inside job. The Associated Press reported Sept. 20 that 16 prison officials - including the prison director and two top aides - have been detained based on "credible evidence" that employees aided the escape.
See the Full Story at The Daily Beast
| One of the largest mass escapes in history occurred in April 2011 when close to 500 inmates in southern Afghanistan crawled to freedom through a tunnel 1,100 feet long. Al Jazeera reported that at least 100 members of the group were Taliban commanders, a fact that led President Hamid Karzai to dub the escape a "disaster." The success of the escape, which was launched at 11 p.m., was attributed largely to the assistance of the Taliban, whose rented house was at the freedom end of the tunnel—where vehicles sat at the ready. Only 26 of the escapees reportedly were captured—two of them were killed.

| Sentenced to 30 years in prison for a failed robbery turned murder, Pascal Payet had already successfully escaped French prison twice when he found himself in a penitentiary for a third time. The scheming Payet's previous two escapes had been the stuff of movies—helicopters on the roof, masked men, etc.—and his third escape did not disappoint. After hijacking a helicopter in Cannes, four disguised and armed men lifted Payet from the roof of the Grasse Prison in southeast France. The escape was successful, but Payet was discovered three months later in Spain.

| A nondescript maximum-security prison located just outside the small town of Kenedy, Texas, it gained notoriety in December of 2000 when seven men made a brazen attempt at an escape—and succeeded. Led by George Rivas, a career criminal serving 18 life terms, the men escaped after overtaking maintenance officers through use of an ax, hijacking a van, and then driving out of the prison in civilian clothes. Ranging in age from 23 to 39, the so named Texas Seven were front and center on "America's Most Wanted" until four were recaptured a little more than a month later.

| In September 1983, 38 inmates—most of whom were members of the IRA, jailed for politically motivated crimes—escaped the maximum security HM Prison Maze in Northern Ireland. Surrounded by 15-foot walls topped with barbed wire, the Maze was considered one of the highest-security prisons in Europe. Seizing control of the prison through the use of six smuggled handguns, the escapees used extreme violence, which included stabbing and beating the guards, to reach the outside. From there they hijacked a van and drove to freedom. The escape left several guards injured and at least one dead. In this largest-scale escape Northern Ireland had ever seen, more than half the prisoners were recaptured shortly afterward.

| In an escape he later claimed differed greatly from the version in the movie Midnight Express, young American Billy Hayes escaped a prison in Turkey to which he had been sentenced to 30 years. Arrested in Istanbul in 1970 for attempting to smuggle two kilograms of hashish out of the country, Hayes was sentenced to five years in prison. Weeks away from his release, the American student was horrified to learn his sentence had been extended to 30 years. Determined to flee the harsh conditions of Imrali Island, Hayes hid in a concrete bin for several days before hijacking a small fishing boat at the local harbor and escaping to Greece. He eventually made it back to the U.S., where he wrote an autobiography about his journey.

Hey, guys...
We're starting up a new anime convention in Albuquerque, New Mexico called SABAKUCON! We're looking to put on as good a show as possible so people will come back next year wanting more, and a good way to do that is to showcase some excellent AMVs, and i've been told this is the place to go (:P).
1. Since this is an AMV contest, your video will need to be at least an estimated 70% anime, acceptable videogame source, or anime inspired original animation. If you need examples, pm me. In the end, we will be the ones to judge whether or not your video is 70% anime not, unless you would like to count the frames and send us some math. Not that we'll be doing that but that's the only thing that I will consider to override our sloppy estimates.
2. Multi-Editor Projects are allowed, they must still adhere to time limits, though, and they will count as 1 video for every participant.
3. This is a PG-13 rated event. As such, all entries will be expected to follow the official MPAA ratings guidelines which define PG-13. To view the guidelines, please visit http://www.mpaa.org/FlmRat_Ratings.asp.

If we get submissions with any of this we will try to cut them out if possible, but if it would interfere with the music or video then it will simply be disqualified. Only submit entries like this if you are unable to render a copy without credits (such as due to lost or corrupted files). We will be instituting a general seizure-warning at the beginning of the show so as to (hopefully) avoid any accidents. If there is something specific to your video you feel needs being said then just say so and we'll figure something out.
7. Videogame footage is allowed
8. The Video can be from any year, doesn't matter how old it is just be sure the quality is acceptable and won't look like a potato on the big screen.

Criteria of an assault weaponAssault weapon (semi-automatic) refers primarily (but not exclusively) to firearms that possess the features of an assault rifle (which are fully-automatic). Semi-automatic firearms, when fired, automatically extract the spent cartridge casing and load the next cartridge into the chamber, ready to fire again; they do not fire automatically like a machine gun; rather, only one round is fired with each trigger pull.
In the former U.S. law, the legal term assault weapon included certain specific semi-automatic firearm models by name (e.g., Colt AR-15, TEC-9, non select-fire AK-47s produced by three manufacturers, and Uzis) and other semi-automatic firearms because they possess a minimum set of features from the following list of features:
Semi-automatic rifles able to accept detachable magazines and two or more of the following:
- Folding or telescoping stock
- Pistol grip
- Bayonet mount
- Flash suppressor, or threaded barrel designed to accommodate one
- Grenade launcher (more precisely, a muzzle device that enables launching or firing rifle grenades, though this applies only to muzzle mounted grenade launchers and not those mounted externally

1985 Toyota Truck Rock-Crawler - Project Rock Truggy, Part 3Posted in Project Vehicles on April 1, 2001 Comment (0)
We set out to build a lightweight Toyota that can rockcrawl with the best of them and leave em whimpering in the aisles. Mission accomplished. Over the last two issues youve seen a plain-Jane 85 Toyota go from semi-stocker to a nearly completed rock-munching machine. Well, here it is in its final form.
Looking at the photographs, you can get the mistaken impression that building something like this is pretty easy. Way wrong, Charlie. While it isnt totally impossible, some heavy-duty thought and man hours go into a project such as this. Figuring out suspension geometry, coming up with a building plan, then finding the man hours to actually do it can be somewhat daunting. Thats why weve got to give major props to the gang at All Pro Off Road.

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 , 7:32 PM GMT on August 28, 2009
Tropical Storm Danny continues to look unhealthy, with an exposed low-level center and the main heavy thunderstorms well to the east. The center is oval instead of circular, which may portend that this center will dissipate and a new center will form under the heaviest thunderstorm activity. Danny has more of the appearance of a subtropical storm than a tropical storm on satellite imagery, and this structure will slow down any potential intensification. The amount of heavy thunderstorm activity has increased in the past few hours, though no thunderstorms have formed near the center. The latest Hurricane Hunter mission found one small spot of 45 mph surface winds between 1 - 3 pm EDT today, so Danny may barely qualify as a tropical storm. Danny's center may have begun moving to the north over the past hour, giving confidence that the storm's strongest winds and rain will stay offshore of North Carolina tonight and Saturday morning.
Figure 1. Afternoon satellite image at 3:03 pm EDT of Danny, showing the exposed swirl of clouds where Danny's center is, well displaced from the heaviest thunderstorm activity to the east. The center is oval-shaped and not circular, the sign of a weak circulation.
The forecast for Danny
With wind shear at 15 knots this afternoon, and forecast to increase to 20 knots tonight and 30 knots Saturday morning, it is unlikely Danny will be able to strengthen to more than a 50 mph tropical storm. Dry air from the upper-level low that has been keeping Danny disorganized continues to be a problem for the storm, as well. Most of the intensity forecast models continue to insist Danny will strengthen, but they have been doing a very poor job forecasting the intensity of Danny. With Danny's heavy thunderstorms all on the east side of the storm, it is unlikely that North Carolina or New England will feel tropical storm force winds from Danny when it scoots past on Saturday. Large swells from Danny creating high surf along the beaches of New England will be the primary hazard from the storm.
Massachusetts hurricane history
Two tropical storms have affected Massachusetts in the past decade, though neither of these storms brought sustained winds of tropical storm force (39 mph) to the state. Tropical Storm Beryl of 2006 just missed Cape Cod as a weak tropical storm with 45 mph winds. Beryl brought wind gusts to tropical storm force to Nantucket Island, and a 1 foot storm surge. Tropical Storm Hermine hit southeast Massachusetts on August 31, 2004, as a minimum-strength tropical storm with 40 mph winds. No land stations in Massachusetts reported tropical storm force winds during Beryl. The last time Massachusetts measured tropical storm force winds was in 1997 during that year's version of Tropical Storm Danny. Chatham recorded sustained winds of 44 mph, and Nantucket had 43 mph winds. The last time Massachusetts had hurricane force winds was in 1991 during Hurricane Bob, which hit Rhode Island as a Category 2 hurricane. Provincetown, Massachusetts measured sustained winds of 98 mph, gusting to 115 mph, and Buzzard's Bay received a 15 foot storm surge.
Invest 94L
The well-organized tropical wave (94L) mid-way between Africa and the Lesser Antilles Islands continues to be a threat to develop into a tropical depression in the next day or two. Water vapor satellite loops show that 94L has moistened the region surrounding it considerably today, and the storm is not ingesting as much dry air as this morning. However, visible satellite loops show only a small amount of heavy thunderstorm activity near the circulation center, which is broad and elongated from east to west. Shear is low, about 10 knots, and is expected to remain low, 5 - 10 knots, over the next five days. The waters are warm enough to support development, 27°C, and are expected to remain in the 27 - 28°C range over the next five days. It appears that 94L needs another 1 - 3 days to develop a well-formed circulation and become a tropical depression, given the favorable environment. NHC is giving 94L a medium (30 - 50% chance) of developing into a tropical depression by Sunday. Most of the models predict 94L will Be affected by two troughs of low pressure over the next week, which will pull the storm far enough north so that it will miss the Lesser Antilles Islands. It is then probable that 94L will be forced to the west again as the high pressure ridge steering the storm builds back in. The possible long-term threat to the U.S. East Coast is impossible to evaluate at this time.
I'm in New York City this weekend for my cousin's wedding, so will not be blogging again until Monday morning. In my absence, wundergound's severe storms expert, Dr. Rob Carver, will be posting in my blog Saturday and Sunday.

En español | When it comes to looking for a place to retire, cost of living often tops the list of considerations. But there's a difference between living cheaply and living well. In narrowing down our list of The 10 Best Places to Live on $100 a Day, we sought out towns and cities that offered not only bargain prices, but also a rich quality of life.
See also: How about Costa Rica or France? Best places to retire abroad.
To determine these select places, we began with a theoretical income of $36,500, or $100 a day. After taxes (at 25 percent) that is $27,375, or $2,281 a month. We looked for a median housing cost of $192,000, which means a mortgage of about $719 a month, leaving $1,562 a month for everything else.

We pared a list of 200 cities down to 10 by homing in on things that make life worth living: the arts and culture, colleges, restaurants, community. Here are our top 10.

Summer/Autumn 2013 Catalog Archive
Summer/Autumn 2013Catalog update: May 15, 2013
Access archived catalogs in the Catalog Archive section.
Students are required to follow the Academic Handbook and Code of Student Responsibility
Applicants must possess the equivalent of a bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited institution. A prospective graduate student is expected to present a superior overall previous academic record and an above average total GMAT score (or GRE score where appropriate) including high achievement on the verbal, quantitative, and on the analytical writing assessment. The examination must have been taken no earlier than five years prior to the date of admission to the program.
Other factors, such as work experience and career progression, are also important and will be considered by the Admissions Committee. All applicants are required to submit two professional letters of recommendation as well as a current resume.
All prospective students are welcome to arrange a meeting with an admissions counselor. Please phone the graduate school office for an informal appointment. Interviews are not required as part of the admissions process for the part-time M.B.A. program, but may be requested by the Admissions Committee. Interviews for the full-time M.B.A. and weekend M.B.A. programs are on an invitation-only basis. Once a completed application has been received, a preliminary review is completed and selected candidates are invited to interview.
Each applicant is considered on an individual basis. The full-time and weekend M.B.A. programs do have limited enrollments, but for the other graduate business programs there currently is no predetermined limit to the number of students who can be admitted. Thus, for these programs, all students who are judged eligible by the Admissions Committee will be invited to matriculate.
Admission to the Day M.B.A. program is competitive and is limited to the Autumn Quarter. There are three application rounds, with deadlines of February 1, April 1 and July 1. Application review begins in January, and you are encouraged to apply as early as possible. Decisions are mailed on an ongoing basis beginning in January, and applicants should expect to receive an admission decision approximately 4 weeks after their application becomes complete.
Applicants who wish to be considered for scholarships and graduate assistantships should apply during the first two application rounds. These awards are generally not available to applicants who apply after April 1.
Late applications submitted after the final July 1 deadline may be considered if space remains available in the incoming class.
Applications must be submitted by July 1st. Applications received after July 1st will be considered on a space available basis.
Applications must be submitted by:
Applicants educated outside the United States must submit their applications one month prior to the above deadlines.
Degree seeking applicants must present official transcripts from each junior college, college, and university attended (even if only for one course) including DePaul University, if applicable. Credits transferred and posted on the record of a second school do not constitute an official transcript of the original school. Transcripts that are already on file as part of a student record in another College Office at DePaul may be required to remain there and in that case cannot be transferred to the Graduate School of Business Office.
Applicants should write to the Registrar of each school attended,requesting that an official transcript be sent to the student. Once all of the transcripts have been received applicants should submit them to the graduate school office in their original envelopes with the applicant's name, date of birth and program of interest noted on the envelope. We will then add the transcripts to the applicant's admission file.
An applicant who is still taking courses or completing a program at the time he/she submits an application to the Graduate School of Business will not receive full admission until a final and official transcript listing the degree awarded has been submitted to the Admissions Committee. Please see Conditional Admission and Non-degree Status for more information regarding admission pior to posting of an undergraduate degree.
A student previously admitted who has been absent from DePaul for one year or longer must complete the application form and submit a transcript of any courses taken elsewhere during his/her absence. A student must submit a written explanation of his/her absence from the program and an updated resume. A $30 application fee is required.
If the original application has been destroyed (after an absence of two years), the student may be required to complete a new application in full.

Yeah, we've weaved a lengthy yarn so far, so speaking collectively (how dare I!) I can say with comfort we don't expect everyone to read the whole thread before posting, but I would recommend you read it page by page at leisure, as you keep current from this point on.
quote:i thought they already did last season. in the book, Stannis intended to lay siege to Storm's End prior to the Battle of the Blackwater. Davos sailed Melisandre under cover of darkness to a cave under Storm's End where Melisandre released her second shadow baby to kill Ser Cortnay Penrose making the siege unnecessary.
im pretty sure the show is going to do away with the hunt for edric storm
Combining edric and Gendry into one character makes so much sense it makes me wonder why Martin made them separate in the books.
Cotton needs to index the OP at some point, as he birthed this monster, for the sake of reference points for newcomers if nothing else.
Speaking of loose ends what are the chances that Stannis's knight (can't remember his name) makes it back from across the narrow sea in time to be of importance? I'm thinking slim to none
I know it would be impossible. A very tongue in cheek suggestion to index. We can do that when we get ready to publish. Carson and Shark are good at tedious details.

This unit introduces and explores the field of education from two aspects of a broadly sociological framework, namely social issues and social theories and concepts. First, the unit deals with different ways that the field of education has emerged as an institution with a distinct structure and function. The unit will therefore cover some of the history and structure of education in Australia and the effect of global processes on education. This includes different educational sectors, the division and use of time, space and place in schools and the production and rewarding of different kinds of students. This entails treatment of social, cultural, religious, gender and sexuality issues in schooling. This also covers federalism, policy development and implementation, and public, private and hybrid models of provision of education. Second, the unit considers sociological theories, concepts and research approaches that help to understand and explore these issues. In particular, the unit will introduce the concepts of power, practice, policy, discourse, structure, agency, social and cultural capital and field as descriptive and explanatory concepts. The unit introduces ways to explain pressures for change in education, including social justice, equity, inclusion, educational markets and globalization and different approaches to educational research.

GOP Steps Up Its Embrace of Uber
The Republican National Committee has launched a petition to support "innovative businesses," including Uber, the app-based alternative to traditional taxis that has sparked controversy in a number of cities.
Car-sharing services like Uber are also wildly popular among young, smartphone-savvy voters, particularly in urban areas—a group of voters where Republicans see a lot of room for improvement.
The RNC's website asks visitors to sign a petition blocking "taxi unions and liberal government bureaucrats" from "setting up roadblocks, issuing strangling regulations and implementing unnecessary red tape to block Uber from doing business in their cities."
Conservatives liken the government's treatment of Uber to its handling of charter schools, for-profit colleges and market-based ideas in health care and other highly regulated industries.
"When legislators over-regulate, it's consumers who pay the price," said RNC Chairman Reince Priebus in a statement. "The issue is larger than Uber. How many companies, how many products, how many innovations have died prematurely because the government over-reached and interfered in the free market?"
Critics of Uber say the company doesn't play by the rules, giving its drivers an unfair advantage over traditional taxis by skipping the licensing and regulatory process that traditional cabs have to adhere to.
Kirsten Kukowski, a spokeswoman for the RNC, says the campaign will grow in coming months.
The RNC petition comes as the committee convenes in Illinois for its summer meeting. Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn, a Democrat, is considering legislation passed by the state legislature that would place restrictions on taxi services like Uber, including requiring drivers to have a chauffeur's license and mandating that a service's staff members work on average more than 18 hours per week. The RNC is urging Mr. Quinn to veto the legislation, Ms. Kukowski said.
Several prominent Republicans have spoken out on Uber's behalf. In March, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio appeared at Uber's offices in Washington, D.C., and called backlash to the service an example of regulation serving as "a weapon used by connected and established industry to crowd out innovation and competition."
Since then, some localities have given up on restricting Uber. On Wednesday afternoon, Virginia officials said they had reached a deal with Uber and Lyft—another ride-sharing app—that would allow the companies to maintain their operations in the state. In June, the state had issued a cease-and-desist order against the companies.
Other cities have kept up the battle. Uber and Lyft arrived in Miami-Dade county in June, despite local regulations that prohibit unlicensed taxi services. The county has levied fines and impounded the cars of some drivers there, but the services have persisted. The companies have covered the fees incurred by their drivers.

Kinesis Advantage Pro
My family of somewhat special keyboards includes a IBM Model M, a couple of Happy Hackings, a Unicomp Customizer and now Santa came with a Kinesis Advantage Pro.
This is the less conventional of them as you can see in this set of photos I took while unpacking it. Besides the design itself, it supports macros, you can remap keys, have Mac and PC layouts (hot-switchable), builtin support for QWERTY and DVORAK (you can choose any with a key combo), and support for foot switches. In addition to emit a beautiful minimal beep-beep sound I love done by software to add feedback. Everything operated from the very keyboard, no additional software distributed. The computer only sees an ordinary USB keyboard.
I've known personally two seasoned programmers that have only used them for years, having owned several units, and do not want to use anything else. I think I understand them. Typing with this keyboard feels really good. Your arms are relaxed and your hands, fingers, and wrists work with little stress compared with standard desigs. This is not only an investment for your health, I think the typing experience is hands down better, something very important if you like me spend hours and hours day after day typing.
That's mainly because of three characteristics: First, as you can observe in the pictures keys are aligned in columns, instead of being staggered. So, your fingers move mostly in straight lines. Second, hands are more quiet thanks to the convex shape, the curve matches naturally your fingers reach. Third, the space bar, backspace, return key, commad, option, and a few more keys are pressed with your thumbs.
I've been using the Kinesis non-stop since Tuesday. I think you need to do an immersion to get used to it and don't want to use any other keyboard at least until I finish the adaptation period. The box includes a booklet with exercises designed to ease the transition. It is not a touch typing course, they are designed to help you to adapt. I was not a touch typist so it is taking me a while to get a decent speed, though as of today it is already quite acceptable.
The Pro model comes with a foot switch. That is a switch you can map to any key. I have it mapped to Shift but I am unconvinced by now. Problem is that even if the pedal is built in a way that prevents quite well accidental presses, I can't for the life of me train myself to relax my foot on it for a long time period. So I have some tension which is not good. I'll try a little more before giving up though.
Keyboard shortcuts is something you need to retrain completely because your current muscle memory is useless here, since involved keys are in different spots.
That's pretty normal, it is known that you need a few weeks to get at full speed and have your brain rewired, but I believe from my experience so far it is going to be worth the effort.

LOL!!! Love it!!
In spite of the setback with me not having my kidney transplant as planned, I had a great time having adventure after adventure with my friend from SSG, BobaFrett.
I got permission to post all these pictures. I'll put a few up at a time. I'm definitely going to use the best one for my new default pic on MySpace. It rocks! (nice shot 'Frett). You guys will know which one I'm talking about.
Anyway, here's some new pics. Hope it's not the last you'll see of me.
These were taken on the USS Midway. BobaFrett and I were piloting real fighter jets. The ship has simulated flight training.
Ooh airplanes, awesome! Are both those pictures of you in the T-2 Buckeye? Looked like a great day to be out and about.

Awesome! You look like the pilot Tycho in the third picture. (I could have said you look like a maverick, but I hate Top Gun and everything to do with that word's current usage! )

Tycho and I had a great time, he is quite the host. We also went to Sea World, but most of the pictures there are of the Shamu show that I took.
Here are a few of my own.

Thanks 'Frett.
Here's a picture of BobaFrett with me and some of my family - my cousin Gloria and her baby, my youngest cousin, Channah. This was also taken at SeaWorld, San Diego.
Very cool pics, Tycho and Frett.
Here are some pics from my trip to Gettysburg.

Submission + - Architect Eli Attia Blames Google for Stilling His Life's Work (globes.co.il)
derGoldstein writes: Israeli-American architect Eli Attia (77) is accusing Google for stealing a construction concept that may be worth $120 billion annually. The story was first published in Globes, an Israeli business site (as well as on Jewish Business News): "architect Eli Attia, an expert in skyscrapers
... recently contacted Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, Google senior advisor and former US Vice President Al Gore, and Google's board of directors, accusing the company of stealing his invention and making illegal use of his knowhow, a revolutionary technology in the design and construction of large buildings and skyscrapers". Google's spokesman said in response, "We are not aware of any formal complaints levied against us by Mr. Attia at this time."

I've gotten frustrated with Red Hat recently, so I'm set to move to Debian.
The RPM package format isn't as flexible as I'd like. I like Debian's idea of "recommended packages", and the fact that they represent capabilities (such as "www-browser") within the package management system.
It's hard to find out what dependencies a Red Hat package has before downloading it. When attempting to download 6.2beta and later 6.2 itself (and previous upgrades from 5.0 upwards, for that matter), I found it difficult to figure out just what packages I need to download to get one particular package, or a list of packages (e.g. "everything installed on my machine"), installed/upgraded properly. Being a programmer I've managed to invent plenty of workarounds, many of them involving iterative use of rpm --test -U and wget, but that just makes me an enabler--and I prefer to avoid being in a codependent relationship with my operating system. I know there are rpmfind and other such tools, but either they never worked for me or they didn't do what I really want to do, and at any rate they weren't part of standard Red Hat.
I like Red Hat's recent move toward RDF for externally-accessible meta-information, but AFAIK it's only available on redhat.com, and not on any of the mirrors (my touchstone of ubiquity is ftp.tux.org), whereas Debian's Packages.gz is everywhere.
It seems that the RPM designers assume that you'll be doing large upgrades by some means other than downloading selected RPMs from the local mirror at 56K--by CD, or perhaps corporate LAN, or at any rate by downloading most everything in the bundle rather than trying to pick and choose what you download. (The anti-commercial anti-corporate-behemoth Red Hat bashers really ought to latch onto this, as it's a ploy to boost CD-ROM sales by making upgrades by Internet unnecessarily difficult :) .)
In short, I'd rather switch than fight. So I'm switching to Debian. I ordered the CDs today, and I also picked up a RH6.2 CD or three, just in case. I intend to keep Red Hat until after the Big Move(TM), so I'll see a little use out of that 6.2 CD, to get the rest of my system upgraded (in case my workarounds managed to miss a package, and/or I want to install something new). But once I'm moved and the rest of my life is stable (ha!), I'll make the switch to Debian.
I tried Debian once before--back in my younger Linux days, back when Hamm was the stable dist du jour, back when it wasn't a big deal for me to reinstall everything--just to see what it would be like. I'd only ever tried Red Hat before (or since), and I didn't much care for Debian at the time, mostly because I was put off by its insistence that while installing I have to configure installed packages right now! (I pray that that's improved over time. I shouldn't have to configure a package before I know what I'm wanting to do with it and what my options are. I do like to RTFM...) There were other nits that I had, but mostly they owed to the fact that it wasn't Red Hat, and Red Hat is what I was used to. I was much more impressed with dselect than I was with what Red Hat had to offer on the RPM front, though.
I'm wishing for a way to download packages using dselect and apt without actually having Debian installed. That way I could pick out what I want and download it during my slow times now, and be ready to actually install once I'm moved (or another suitable milestone has passed such that I won't object if I accidentally wipe out the wrong thing). I had some nice Vim macros and Perl scripts for going through Contents.gz and picking out what I want and what I didn't. I got maybe halfway through the list, making decisions on each package, before giving up, since I'd probably have to go through it all again with dselect anyhow. Oh, well, since I finally broke down and bought the CDs...
BTW, am I the only one who thinks that 50% of the software in the Debian package manifest is of no interest to the vast majority of potential Debian users? Or maybe it just feels like there are too many ham radio and scientific packages. Still, I wonder if the software I'd be honestly interested in couldn't fit on just one CD instead of the standard two. OK, CDs are cheap, but still...

Hey guys and gals. I have been looking for a good pair of slip-on boots that have the RealTree AP camo and possibly snake guards. This seems to be a difficult task because I can find boots I like but are not available in RealTree. There seem to be many more options for the Mossy Oak, which is a good camo, but I prefer the RealTree.
So anyway...it got me thinking. What seems to be the most popular, and what is your favorite? Why? I will start this off by saying that, I prefer the RealTree AP because it seems to blend with many brushy, wooded environments where I am. So what do you pick? RealTree, MossyOak, MothWing, or others. Thanks for the input!

Bas Rutten Lays Down the Law in the Zuffa/Golden Glory Situation
- Written by Dave Walsh
If one thing can be said for the Dutch outside of their acumen for kickfighting, it is their loyalty and how forthcoming they can be. Bas Rutten's reputation is one of the few truly sterling reputations in the MMA world, he was able to retire as a legend and a hero and is better known by modern MMA fans as the "voice of PRIDE" and now co-host of Inside MMA on HDnet. When it comes down to it, Rutten is one of the few voices in the MMA world that comes from experience, often goes against what most of the media are selling, and also has a wealth of personality and knowledge to back up whatever he claims.
There is no secret that Rutten is close with a few members of the Golden Glory team, and sees a certain level of respect for what his fellow Dutch fighters are doing long after he has retired. So there is no surprise that when he finally decided to speak out about the Golden Glory purge from Zuffa, that it was going to be good. Bas made a rather long post to his Twitter (not a fan of 140 characters, I suppose) where he gives a very in depth rundown of how Golden Glory treat their fighters and explaining their business practices. Read it.
As a fighter, this would be something really cool, but even more for the trainers, because, ask trainers how many times they get paid by their fighters? You will be amazed with how many do NOT. I know fighters who became World champion in big organizations, even the UFC, and they never, yes, you read this good, NEVER, paid their trainer (OK, I might be wrong 1 or 2 times from the at least 10 or 15 times, but I am pretty sure I am not wrong). It sickens me and I would love to mention names, but out of respect of their coaches, I won't. I hope those fighters read this, so they know that I know.
Anyway, these problems don't exist at GG, at least not when the management is taking care of this.
If what Rutten is saying is true, it turns out that Golden Glory pays their fighters what they are owed by an organization, regardless of the promotions status, then waits for the money to come in from the promotion. That means in the K-1 fiasco that Golden Glory has fit the bill for their inability to pay up. He also talks at length about Alistair Overeem and the criticism he receives. [source]

Or maybe Thursday?
"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"
@Nublar7 Why can i not post new threads anymore??
So im guessing the OP was full of it. I havent seen anything about the new logo.
I hope it is this soon! I want to order my Wallace jersey but frankly I don't feel like spending $100 for something I might not see for another month, much less receive in the mail. The only reason why I am not totally pessimistic about this is because a few years ago, the new Winnipeg Jets had their logo leaked by someone at a sporting goods store and they had to bump up the release date. If in fact the logo on the table during the Hartline signing is the logo we are moving forward with, they might be pushing it up. Also because of the Wallace/Ellerbe jersey requests.

Wow, that's so unexpected! It sounds like George won't have much time to himself even in retirement.
Wow! First biological child for Lucas, at almost 70, and through a surrogate. GL certainly likes to do things his own way.
On a side note, Jett is 20! He was just a kid in EP2 and EP3, but I guess it has been a while since EP3. Seems like only yesterday.
So would this be a bestard child since it came less then 9 months after they married?
I wonder if this is what prompted him to sell Lucasfilm and finally get married again, or if he was just going through the latest midlife crisis ever.
Seriously though, congratulations George Lucas! 4 kids though, buddy, and one will be going to college when you're in your late '80s, may want to hold back donating a few million of that cash.
If he isn't a mountain of a man when he grows up, that's a wasted opportunity there.

I'll be honest, the only thing about his career holding him back before seemed like his inability to not micromanage. The companies and the franchise were working fine, and maybe without his close guidance they wouldn't have, but maybe they would.

Kennan biographer to speak, Nov. 9
Posted October 31, 2003; 10:29 a.m.
John Lewis Gaddis, the official biographer of George Kennan, will speak at an opening lecture for the Firestone Library exhibition marking the centennial of the former diplomat's birth at 3 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 9, in 101 McCormick. A reception will follow in the library's Main Exhibition Gallery.
"The Life and Times of George F. Kennan: A Centennial Exhibition" will run through April 18 in the library. It showcases the life of Kennan, a 1925 Princeton graduate who went on to pursue a long and distinguished career as a diplomat and historian. He is most renowned as the author of the "Long Telegram," which ranks in the annals of U.S. foreign policy documents with Washington's Farewell Address, the Monroe Doctrine and Wilson's Fourteen Points. The Feb. 22, 1946, message to Secretary of State James Byrnes advocated for a new approach to U.S.-Soviet relations that profoundly influenced the direction of American foreign policy in the aftermath of World War II and helped to define the terms of the Cold War.
Gaddis, the Robert Lovett Professor of History and Political Science at Yale University, was handpicked by Kennan to tell his life story. An expert on the Cold War, Gaddis has written several acclaimed books on the topic and has been working on the Kennan volume for many years.
The event is sponsored by the Council of the Friends of the Library and the University Library . It is free and open to the public.

I find the comments about dogs not being able to disobey interesting. My personal thought is it depends on how they are trained. In order for a disobedience to occur, one must understand both right and wrong, as well as understand the consequences for right and wrong. In a true all positive environment, wrong is not taught nor are they consequences for wrong. All focus is given to enhancing the desired traits. So I get that there is no "disobeying." However in a balanced training program it is possible for a dog to disobey as they are trained right and wrong and the consequences that go with them.

This decorated officer (Lt. Col.) was teaching: "Perspectives on Islam and Islamic Radicalism" One would think that the subject matter would contain some information that could be considered "negative". One would also think that knowing more about this topic would be important to the soldiers serving in Islamic countries.
However,More Law Center attorneys believe Dooley was doomed by a letter sent to the White House, Department of Homeland Security and other federal agencies a year ago and signed by more than 50 Muslim-American groups, including the Council of American-Islamic Relations. The missive decried what groups described as the government's use of biased, false, and highly offensive training materials about Muslims and Islam.
The letter cited as examples of offensive material used throughout training courses in government agencies and made several demands, including that all training materials and instructors be reviewed, materials deemed biased be purged and instructors and assurances that "bigoted trainers and biased materials are not developed or utilized in the future.
Dooley is still serving in the military and not allowed to speak publicly on his case, according to Thompson. But the soldier is hoping to have his negative OER revised and be reinstated in his job as an instructor, according to Thompson, who maintains that the guidelines from the NDU Faculty Handbook were disregarded when Dooley was relieved of his position.
The guidelines give him [Dooley] permission and authority to pursue teaching that is free of limitations, Thompson said.
The Faculty Handbook states; Academic Freedom at National Defense University is defined as freedom to pursue and express ideas, opinions, and issues germane to the Universitys stated mission, free of limitations, restraints, or coercion by the University or external environment. Academic freedom is the hallmark of an academic institution.
