Programs to honor Martin Luther King Jr.
Binghamton University will honor the late Martin Luther King Jr. with two events, starting with the acclaimed "Dream Alive" program, which will begin at 11 a.m. Monday, January 17, in the Watters Theater on the Binghamton University campus.
Joe Rogers, who served as the youngest lieutenant governor in the country and the highest ranking African American state elected official in Colorado history, will present the program which is free and open to the public.
The Dream Alive program, which is dedicated to the memory and legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr. and leaders of the Civil Rights Movement, has been presented at colleges, corporations and conferences throughout the United States. Rogers, through a live commentary, takes audience members back in time to the renowned 1963 march on Washington where King delivered his "I Have A Dream" speech and to his final words delivered in 1968 in Memphis.
At 7 p.m. Wednesday, January 26, the Pin Points Theater Company will perform "The Meeting", a fictitious gathering between Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X, which answers the question of what would have happened if the two had met before they were assassinated. This event, which is also free and open to the public, will take place in the Mandela Room of the University Union.

I was in a TRU last night and found a pile of TIE Interceptors in the middle of the sales floor (probably about 30 of them). There were more on the upper shelves and I didn't even buy one since I already got several of the vintage.
A couple of days before that I was in another TRU and it also had almost the same number of TIE Interceptors as the other one. I was able to speak to a couple of store personnel on both stores and it looks like they already had them in stock from last weekend.
Is this happening in your area?

1. excellence of manners or social conduct; polite behavior.
2. a courteous, respectful, or considerate act or expression.
3. indulgence, consent, or acquiescence: a "colonel" by courtesy rather than by right.
4. favor, help, or generosity: The costumes for the play were by courtesy of the local department store.
When we teach our young men to live and act with purpose the Scout Oath and Law we must never forget that we are teaching an coaching these men to be Gentlemen.
A Scout is Courteous. A Scout is polite to everyone regardless of age or position. He knows that using good manners makes it easier for people to get along.
Last night my family and I went to the movies. Now, I have a hand full of pet peeves, but the behavior that drives me up the wall is when people are rude or discourteous. There was a guy and his family sitting next to us. He decided to talk through the whole movie, not a whisper, full conversation level talking. I leaned to my son and whispered "and this is what a lack of courtesy looks like".
Now I am going to make some folks mad here… but I blame parents for a lack of courtesy in their kids.
Parents should demonstrate what it is to be courteous. When parents show a lack of courtesy, they are telling their kid that this is what right looks like.
As a Scout leader I see the results of various styles of up bringing. By and large the Scouts of my Troop are good young men. I am proud of them and the way they are growing up. I hope that the lessons that we are teaching them are sinking in and being a solid augmentation of what they get at home.
In Scouts we get Scouts from every walk of life. Every economic status, every race, every religion, and every form of discipline tested. They are all good kids with potential, what and how we harness to be is a challenge, but we have been given a great tool.. The Oath and Law.
When you have to lean over and remind your son what Right does not look like, it is the hope of most Dads that they get it.
Courtesy is so simple. It takes little or no effort at all, yet there are some folks out there that are just plain rude. I am not sure why, and have very little patients to figure it out. It is always easier just to do the right thing the first time.. don't you think?
Anyway, I know the butt head that was at the movies last night does not read this blog… but I wish he did. His family may be better for it.
So on day whatever of #100daysofscouting… I spent time with my sons today. That's all. Not a great Scouting tale, but it is what it is. We watched a James Bond movie and went to Home Depot. Great day.
Have a Great Scouting Day!

Thoughts on the finale?
As much as I loved this show I have to say the finale was weak. I was fine with it until Tracy got sick and Ted asked Robin out. Although the kids were right the whole story was about him having the hots for Robin and their mother wasn't in it much.
I loved the Ghostbusters reference and iirc Tracy was the name of the stripper? from the first season, when the kids heard that they freaked out so it was a nice tie in in that sense.
IMHO the episode could have ended and I would've been just fine with everything except the mom dying and asking Robin out bit.

U.S. Food and Drug Administration Still Says Gay Men Can't Donate Blood
April 18, 2012
The American Red Cross (ARC) and other blood organizations are calling for a change in the Food and Drug Administration policy that excludes men from donating blood if they have had sexual contact with another man even once since 1977. Instead, they prefer a one-year waiting period. A similar change was made last year in England, Scotland, and Wales.
ARC Chief Medical Officer Richard Benjamin said HIV was a much bigger threat to the US blood supply decades ago. The nucleic acid test, introduced in 1999, picks up HIV infections that occurred as recently as 12 days before the test, according to Benjamin.
Some AIDS activists consider it unfair to have a lifetime deferral for men who have sex with men (MSM) and claim monogamy, but not for heterosexual men who say they have had sex with a prostitute. FDA says the goal is to protect the public, and it is basing its policy on science, not "any judgment concerning the donor's sexual orientation."
Although certain activists say the lifetime ban "feels like discrimination," FDA points out other groups with a lifetime deferral from donating blood include anyone who has received money, drugs or other payment for sex since 1977; and those who have injected drugs for a non-medical reason.
FDA's policy was most recently reviewed and upheld by a Health and Human Services advisory committee in 2010.

Some of the people on this site have very short memories. It wasn't to long ago when our elected leaders decided to pass the Patriot Act. This greatly expanded law enforcement powers in who they could arrest, and what they could do when the word terrorism was involved. Take this for an example.
Take the case of Tamera Jo Freeman. Traveling from Los Angeles to Oklahoma City in 2007. Freeman gave each of her children three whacks on the backside when they spilled her airplane Bloody Mary in her lap.
A flight attendant confronted Freeman, who responded by hurling a few profanities and throwing what remained of a can of tomato juice on the floor.
The incident aboard the Frontier flight ultimately led to Freeman's arrest and conviction for a federal felony defined as an act of terrorism under the Patriot Act, the controversial federal law enacted after the 2001 attacks in New York and Washington.
"I had no idea I was breaking the law," said Freeman, 40, who spent three months in jail before pleading guilty.
Worse than that, Freeman lost custody of her children as a result of the conviction. Moreover, she was barred from flying and her probation required her to stay within Oklahoma which effectively prevented her from traveling to Hawaii for a custody hearing.
The severity of the incident was disputed by a witness that happened to also be a defense attorney. The attorney said that initially there was a loud exchange but Freeman calmed down BEFORE she became unruly. The attorney said that he sympathized with Freeman.
There is also the case of Warrantless Wiretapping during the Bush administration where he clearly violated Fisa statues (which is a felony) and spied on Americans communications. Certainly this would be considered a violation of the 4th amendment of the Constitution. What was heard then, as someone in a previous post pointed out was " If you have done nothing wrong you have nothing to worry about" That is as laughable now as it was back then.
My question I guess would have to be: Where were all you great defenders of the Constitution back then? For most of you, you defended these policies not realizing that the sword has two edges. These laws are pernicious in nature and we need to be vigilant and not get caught up in the moment and pass laws that infringe or violate the Constitution.
Mmmm yeah, or maybe there is more to it?
BTW- she pleaded GUILTY to the charges
JOHNSON: A shame that no one intervened earlier
By Bill Johnson, Rocky Mountain News (Contact)
Published July 21, 2007 at midnight
It is impossible to feel sorry for Tamera Jo Freeman.
No, you have to reserve that for her kids, a 2-year-old boy and 4-year-old girl, who for much of the past week have been living with strangers while their mom has sat in jail.
By now you have probably heard the story of how the 38-year-old woman single-handedly turned a San Francisco-to-Denver flight on Monday into a cussing, beating, finger-pointing episode of The Jerry Springer Show.
That it was even allowed to happen still stuns me.
Let us say you are in, oh, the supermarket. You see a woman, clearly drunk, simply smacking the bejeezus out of her 2-year-old boy and 4-year-old daughter.
What do you do?
In Tamera Jo Freeman's case, witnesses who later came forward told of the woman beating her kids even before they got on the plane. She had been drinking in the airport. And when the youngest of her kids bucked at going with her into the bathroom of the San Francisco airport, she slapped him and dropped him on his head.
What would you have done?
On the plane now, the woman, it is alleged, immediately sets in on the kids again, alternately cursing and slapping at them and then neglecting them. They were interfering with her ability to watch a movie. It gets worse.
The toddlers knock over yet another drink their mother had been working on. She starts hammering away at the kids with an open hand. The kids start wailing.
No one does anything.
Yet many, it turns out, had either seen or definitely heard the beatings, witnessed the kids spending most of the flight cowering, scared and crying.
Flight attendant Amy Fleming finally tries to intervene. "Mind your own business," Tamera Jo Freeman allegedly spits, before demanding another drink. Fleming refuses.
The woman then curses Amy Fleming and, amazingly, witnesses said, flings a drink at her. No one does anything.
Here's a part I really don't get. Tamera Jo Fleming allegedly leaves her seat and corners the flight attendant, screaming at her.
Not too long ago, such an act would have gotten you beaten up and handcuffed, or worse.
Two years ago, a half-dozen or so passengers tackled and beat a 37-year-old man who rushed a flight attendant on Southwest Airlines Flight 2161 from Philadelphia to West Palm Beach, Fla., after she asked him to stop bothering others.
Only last month, an off-duty sheriff's deputy had to wrestle and beat a man who went nuts and tried to open a door of a US Airways plane as it began its descent.
Amy Fleming had to ask a corrections officer who happened to be on the plane to sit next to Tamera Jo Fleming, you know, just in case. She also retrieved the plane's duct tape and stood next to the woman in case they had to strap her down.
Tamera Jo Freeman appeared in federal court Friday and was ordered held until Thursday. She is charged with assaulting her children and interfering with a flight crew, according to federal court documents.
The Federal Aviation Administration, in its latest report on the subject, says there have been only 33 reported instances of air rage between Jan. 1 and June 7. This compares with the 131 reported cases last year, light-years behind the 299 reported in 2001.
"We have no idea of the reason behind this trend," said Victoria Day, a spokeswoman for the Air Transport Association, an airline industry group, and none too willing to discuss the subject.
It could be post-9/11 hangover, the knowledge that fellow passengers will not now sit idly by when a flight crew comes under attack, says Diana Fairechild, an authority on air travel, health and safety who runs flyana.com, a Web site for those taking to the air.
She has read of Tamera Jo Freeman's case, and takes a different view: The woman, she says, may be a victim in all of this.
"This happens because people are herded in long lines onto planes, are treated like cargo in seats smaller than those on subways, with no food, no liquids and little, badly contaminated air," she said.
Well, she did apparently have liquids.
"It sounds to me," Diana Fairechild said, "like she just flipped. Every day, all over the country, ordinary people are cracking. I feel sorry for her. She's in trouble."
The reason no one intervened is likely because no one viewed her as a terrorist, she said. With a man, the outcome probably would have been different.
"For her, it was a good thing," Diana Fairechild said.
I still say nine out of 10 people would have held her down for the cops had Tamera Jo Freeman done the same thing to her kids on, say, the 16th Street Mall. We owe it not to her, but to the children.
"We can't know for certain," Diana Fairechild said, "what was actually going on in that space, at that exact moment. Most people have a sense of when to get involved. She was just a berserk passenger."
It is still a shame.
You can tell a story many ways.......... Becasue she did not try to open the door does not mean they knew she would not or what esle a drunk crazy person could do. Now I guess if she was not DRUNK and BEATING her kids, and Assulting the crew this would be a lot like getting stopped for having a bumper sticker on her car

I'm confused... are YOU saying that you think that stopping an american conservative is the same as stopping a known muslim jihadist? Or are you saying that JDogger thinks they are both examples of "justified profiling?"
Anyway, thanks for the clarification.
I personally think that JDogger DOES think both are fine.
In my opinion not linked to whatever poorly conceived notions JD has, the MAJOR difference is one (conservatives) has opinions of the country he loves, and the other (radical-extremist-jihadists) takes action against a country and people he hates.
I think even JD could agree with that, and maybe even be convinced that stopping a car over a historic Americana flag is interpreting the meaning of that flag and for what it stands for then and now, is unreasonable?

I do however stick to my original premise, as most here agree that, an expansion of laws by the government with a total disregard to the tenets and values of the Constitution are an evil and pernicious undertaken.

Is no one but me a little disturbed that anyone could be ignorant of the image in question?
Ignorance plus overzealous profiling, no matter what administration is in charge, is a pretty poor combination.
That said, the groundwork has been laid by the executive, legislative, and judicial branches both liberal and conservative over the extent of my own personal political consciousness, and surely for some time before it.
The blame game has little sway on this one, unless we are willing to point the finger at ourselves, whichever left or right persuasion we lean towards.
All the indignation here rings a bit hollow, frankly. It's our own darn fault.

3.1: Global Climate Change and Biodiversity
The Encyclopedia of Life (EOL; http://www.eol.org/, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NwfGA4cxJQ) is a free, online collaborative encyclopedia intended to document all of the 1.9+ million living species known to science. It is aggregated or compiled from existing scientific databases, and from contributions by experts and non-experts world-wide. Its goal is to build one "infinitely expandable" page for each species, including videos, sound, images, graphics, and text. As the discovery of new species is expected to continue (the current rate is about 20,000 new species identified per year), EOL will grow continuously. As taxonomy finds new ways to include species identified by molecular techniques, the rate of new species additions will increase - in particular with respect to the microbial world of (eu)bacteria, archaebacteria, and viruses. EOL went live on February 26, 2008 with 30,000 entries and currently has 752,993 entries.
Understanding Biodiversity is made available to the high school student through CK-12 and EOL's collaboration, primarily EOL's Learning + Education group, based in the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard University (http://education.eol.org/). Understanding Biodiversity, is an expanding library of biodiversity information aimed at the high school biology classroom. Individual Understanding Biodiversity species pages will provide information for each species relevant to the high school biology curriculum: cell biology, genetics, evolution, ecology, and physiology. If you would like to submit a species page to Understanding Biodiversity, email your proposal for contributions to email@example.com.
The EOL has developed web-based tools and services that provide visitors enhanced capability to use EOL content for their own purposes and to contribute to the site and become part of a growing international community interested in biodiversity. Some of those tools and services are listed below.
NameLink is a service provided by EOL to quickly identify information associated with taxon names and to provide common species names. Students can submit a webpage address and have the taxon names within the page automatically identified and link up to projects which have information about those names. The common names appear within the webpage or on-line article.
NameLink can be used to identify additional information regarding many species. For example, insert the following URL into the URL insertion box on the NameLink page, and explore the information generated by this tool:
A Bioline article and abstract: http://www.mass.gov/dfwele/dfw/nhesp/species_info/mesa_list/mesa_list.htm.
Education LifeDesk
Register at http://www.edulifedesks.org/ to join the CK-12 Biology group.
A LifeDesk is an online environment that provides a collaborative space for creating, editing, and publishing web pages of species information. The goal of using a LifeDesk, in many cases, is to generate content to publish to the EOL, including text and images.
Try using a LifeDesk in a variety of ways. For example, individually or in a small group, research and write or upload images for different sections (e.g., Habitat, Conservation Status, Ecology, etc) of a species page. Alternatively, students can work on the same sections of different species pages and then compare their research findings about the different organisms. Because LifeDesks are on-line, students from different schools or in different locations can collaborate on projects.
When published to EOL, students or classes get credited for the contributions they make to this authentic project. However, there is no requirement to publish content, so LifeDesks can be easily used for class projects that are not visible to external audiences.
LifeDesks have a workflow system that allows groups to set assignments and alert each other when edits have been made or review of work is required. This allows students independence outside of the classroom to work on projects and communicate with their instructors.
Example of student created content published to EOL using an Education LifeDesk: http://eol.org/pages/790463/overview.
Field Guides
Field Guides pull selected content from EOL species pages into a format that is easier to view and use for particular projects. Rather than sorting through all 1.9 million species pages and all of the Table of Contents information, users will see information for just the organisms and information they select. Users are able to customize and edit the content in their field guide. Field guides can be made public and print options are available for use in a variety of contexts.
Try creating a field guide for the organisms found in your schoolyard or for the organisms discussed in another chapter of this FlexBook that you are studying. See what information is found in EOL and what is missing. Is there anything you can contribute to EOL, such as an image or some class research information?
Adding Images and Video
You can contribute images of organisms to EOL through popular media sharing sites like Flickr or Wikimedia Commons http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page. The Encyclopedia of Life Images Flickr group already has over 60,000 images and short video clips, and our members are adding new ones daily.
Basic Flickr accounts are free and it's easy to tag your images for EOL use. See the group page for instructions: http://www.flickr.com/groups/encyclopedia_of_life. EOL harvests the group pool every couple of days, so your images and videos will show up quickly on EOL pages and/or field guides. Uploading images to EOL supports learning of basic technology skills, proper citing of electronic resources and familiarization with scientific and common names for organisms, all while helping to build a global resource.
Short videos can also be uploaded to Flickr. For longer videos, please use EOL's group on Vimeo. http://vimeo.com/groups/encyclopediaoflife
A BioBlitz is a snapshot - a limited-time, limited-space species inventory of the organisms that live in an area. BioBlitzes let people get involved in the natural environment, increasing their awareness of and understanding for the environment. BioBlitzes are conducted to learn more about an area's biodiversity (what different life forms live here?), distribution (where do they live?), and abundance (how many of them are there?).
BioBlitzes can be a source of new information that can be shared with local conservation management groups as well as the EOL.
Students can organize BioBlitzes in their school yards or neighborhood parks. Partner with scientists from local conservation groups or universities to help with identification of species or try your best and see how many different species you can find. Put your event on the BioBlitz Worldwide map http://education.eol.org/bioblitz/worldwide, upload your images to EOL, and make a field guide of the species you and your classmates identified.
EOL Podcasts
The audio series One Species at a Time is a tribute to life on Earth http://education.eol.org/podcast/one-species-time. Each episode is a story, a mystery, a riddle, or an exploration of a different creature pulsing, fluttering, surging, respiring, and galloping on this planet. Biodiversity is center stage, from scurrying invasive beetles in Oregon to the threatened cedar trees of Lebanon to Ediacaran fauna from 580 million years ago. There are associated Extras and a Meet the Scientist section with each podcast.Some have associated educational materials. All podcasts are freely available and can be used in other projects.

Rebels & Redcoats Revolutionary War Reenactment July 9&10, 2011
On July 4th, the Village of Elm Grove hosted a Revolutionary War camp complete with re-enactors as part of their 4th of July festivities. Unfortunately, I got there just in time to see them pack up!
But in talking to one of the soldiers, I found out that the group, The North West Territory Alliance - NWTA, would be holding a much larger event this coming weekend at Fox River County Park in Kenosha County, near Silver Lake, Wisconsin. Called Rebels and Redcoats on the Fox, this event will be a much larger encampment and would even include skirmishes. (Though the link was for registering for the event, it also includes a map and directions to the park.)
The NWTA is a "...non-profit educational organization that studies and recreates the culture, lifestyle, and arts of the time of the American Revolution, 1775-1783." They have over 500 reenactors from the Midwest and participate in reenactments in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, and Wisconsin throughout the year. (Their next Wisconsin event is scheduled for Sept. 3&4 at Pioneer Village in Saukville, Wisconsin.)
So take a step back into history this Saturday and Sunday, July 9th and 10th, and witness Rebels and Redcoats on the Fox.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The NCAA matchup between 12th-seeded Ole Miss and fifth-seeded Wisconsin will be a collision of style as much as will. The teams will meet Friday at 11:40 a.m. on TruTV.
The Rebels (26-8) love to run, rang up almost 80 points a game and are led by one of college basketball's most flamboyant players in Marshall Henderson.
The button-downed Badgers, in contrast, are known for their deliberate approach and lock-down defense. While Ole Miss was averaging 78.2 points, seventh-highest in the country, the Badgers were allowing only 56. That was tops in the powerful Big Ten Conference and 10th nationally.
The toughest defensive assignment Friday for Wisconsin (23-11) will probably be Henderson. A free spirit, the 6-2 junior led the Southeastern Conference with more than 20 points a game and was third in the nation with 131 3-pointers.

Atlanta Thrashers Offseason Game Plan
Posted on 13 Jun 2010 by Kevin Thurston.
Yes, it's another offseason for the Atlanta Thrashers in which serious questions need answering and important positions need filling.

By Bobby Harrison/NEMS Daily Journal Jackson Bureau
JACKSON – Education, always an important topic in legislative sessions, could be the dominant issue of the 2013 session, which starts Tuesday.
It seems everybody has ideas about how to improve public education that they want to present to the 2013 Legislature.
"This year, we must be serious about improving our education system," said Gov. Phil Bryant, who will present a litany of education proposals.
Bryant's proposals range from charter schools, to merit pay for teachers, to scholarships to attract more top students to the teaching profession, to several school choice options.
The support for Bryant's proposals is varied.
"I think to have a proposal to have scholarships to attract more teachers is always a good idea," said Sen. Hob Bryan, D-Amory, who went on to say state-sponsored scholarships to allow students in low-performing schools to go to private schools "is not very effective."
Perhaps, the Republican governor's most controversial proposal is to allow people to receive state tax credits to provide scholarships to allow students to go to private schools. The proposal, which was supported last year by a number of legislators, including Sen. Nancy Collins, R-Tupelo, would likely face a court challenge, Byrant conceded. He contends, though, he does not believe the scholarship program violates the state Constitution's prohibition on spending state funds "on any school … not conducted as a free school."
While the scholarship proposal would be embraced by many Republicans, the education issue that the legislative leadership has coalesced behind is charter schools. Bryant, Speaker Philip Gunn, R-Clinton, and particularly Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves, who presides over the Senate, have made passage of strong charter school legislation a priority for the 2013 session.
"I will not stop pressing for public charter schools until they are a reality in Mississippi," the Republican Reeves said in a speech last year.
Charter schools were killed during the 2012 session because members of the Republican majority who had concerns about them joined with large-scale opposition by the Democratic minority.
This year charter schools appear to have momentum, but, as is often said in the legislative process, the devil is in the details. Some of the keys are whether charter schools can be allowed only in low-performing districts with the approval of the local schools boards, whether a new state agency will be created to authorize charter schools and whether for-private companies will be allowed to operate the entities.
Those issues could bog down passage of legislation that would allow charter schools, which are schools that receive public funds but operate outside many of the rules and the governance of traditional public schools.
Some contend the most basic fix needed in the state's public school system is to fully fund it. Since the 2007 session, when it was fully funded, the state's public school system has been underfunded by more than $900 million based on the Mississippi Adequate Education Program formula.
The budget proposal of the legislative leadership leaves public education about $300 million short of full funding for the upcoming school year. The governor's budget proposal provides about $21 million more for public education – primarily to fund his proposals, such as $15 million for programs to ensure children are reading on grade level before they leave the third grade and are sufficient in certain areas of math by the seventh grade and $2 million for a merit teacher pay pilot program.
But there will be legislators focusing on funding above all other education issues since the state is near the bottom in per pupil expenditures.
"There has been a suggestion to cut the shortfall in half during this session," Bryan said, "That seems like a reasonable thing to do. That should be the first order of business – to follow the law and start the process" to fully fund education.
Among the other initiatives that will be considered is early childhood education. Bryant has proposed $3 million to continue Building Blocks – a pilot program started by the private sector to provide the training and materials to improve early childhood learning in existing day-care facilities.
Building Blocks advocates are requesting $5 million in state funding. Jim Barksdale, former Netscape CEO who in 2000 donated $100 million to the state to help ensure elementary students learn to read and more recently has touted the Mississippi Building Blocks program, said early childhood education is essential to the state's improvement in its education attainment level.
Mississippi is currently the only Southern state not to spend any state funds on early childhood education. Florida, which is the example many Mississippi legislative leaders cite on such issues as school choice and school accountability, guarantees access to early childhood education for all children and limits class sizes in its Constitution.
Barksdale said it would cost $250 million annually to add another grade to the public schools. He said the Building Blocks program could be enacted statewide for at least $100 million less.
The budget proposal developed by the legislative leadership does not include any funds for early childhood education, but Laura Hipp, a spokeswoman for Reeves, said, "The Senate Appropriations Committee will review several ideas."
Overall, look for education to be a hot topic for the upcoming three-month legislative session.
Reeves said earlier this year, "I have a message for people in both parties who are scared of the future of education reform – buckle your seat belts. Reform is coming to Mississippi."

What is the most anticipated ship/vehicle in the up-coming releases?
My vote goes to the Crashed Snowspeeder, with 2 new exclusive figures, FIRST EVER Dax, and Luke X-Wing. I pray Hasbro does a better job on Luke than the new POTJ X-Wing version!
Honerable mention going to the TIE Bomber! Unfortunatly, given the POOR quality of the "Exclusive TIE Pilot" from TIE Interceptor I could care less about the figure for the new bomber!

Ravage was a cassette tape that turned into a panther.
If they HAVE to make him a car, couldn't they have made him a JAGUAR? (Pun Totally Clever and Intended)
- but I also AM serious too. It's just funny in addition to being practical.
Let's see now:
Subarrus - not too fond of them, but Smokescreen came out awesome.
Dodge Vipers - awesome cars!!!
Jeep Wranglers - very cool and fun.
Mazda RX-8? Well Meister looks cool - I've never looked at that type of car before.
Corvette Z06? OK. I think Corvettes are hot - used to like the ZR-1 though.
Ford Mustang - nice! I used to drive a 2004 for a while just a few months back.
I'm an SUV kind of guy though. I'd prefer a hybrid one - or solar power with enough juice for 4-wheel drive, but I like the passenger seating, the storage hauling and flat-bed capability (I use it to move large boxes full of Star Wars toys quite often actually - I have to have storage my collection is so large).
I'd love to see a
Toyota 4-Runner
Jeep Grand Cherokee
Range Rover
Ford Expedition
these are great candidates for:
MotorMaster (for a Decepticon if they have to )
Maybe Brawl (Combaticon) or some of the Constructicon names
Red Alert as a fire chief SUV (more realistic than a Lamborghini for a fire car)
Inferno - same thing - if a car company would allow a municipal fire engine company to be suggested on their vehicle.
That being said, a Ford Escort or other Police Car option for Prowl.
But anyway, Ravage should be a Jaguar, dammit!

Finally!!!!!!! No longer do we have to look at this fat, worthless, egotystical, scumbag, ********ing, piece of **** sitting in our luxury box with his ****ing binoculars pretending he gives a **** what is going on down on the field!
Bill Parcells did nothing but steal money from Mr.H in exchange for agreeing to run the franchise for a minimum of one year. All his contract obligated him to do was hire the GM and more or less be a consultant to that person. Basically, Parcells agreed to take a **** load of money to give his friend a GM job and hire his friends to be the HC, OC, and DC(Paul P. at the time). Thats it.
Sure, I suppose he gave them some advice on draft picks after the first year.......Pat White.....Thanks Bill. ********er.
Basically this guy was allowed to come and go as he pleased too. He never showed up at road games. Spent most of his time golfing, fishing, eating, and betting all of Mr.H's money on losing horses up at Saratoga with his other fat *** degenerate friends.
Bill Parcells is a world class scumbag. He was a good head coach back in the 80's, did some interesting press conferences, and parlayed that into this ridiculous idea that somehow he was a franchise builder, despite the fact he has never built a team that has won a championship. He whined about not shopping for groceries in NY, yet all the Giants FO did was give him the ingredients for TWO WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS!!!!!!
Now on his way out here, he tries to throw people under the bus as bogus reports have come out suggesting it was someone else's idea to take Pat White. Everyone who followed that draft knew in the months leading up to it that Parcells was reported from several places to have a hard on for Pat White. Obviously, he is trying to set up one more big heist and take another paycheck from some unsuspecting owner so he dosent want this pick on his record. Im sure he has another group of friends he wants to put in important, high paying positions with another team whether they are competent or not(Sparano).
And while he was here, Parcells made sure to never speak, knowing if things went well he would be given credit, and if things went poorly he could simply not speak on the matter, take ZERO ACCOUNTABILITY, and let the **** land on his friends he hired as he conveniently steps out of the way.

Improvement of Photo Directory Access via Project Editor
These should be 2 additional locations for Photos and Videos to be stored in the Project Warehouse
1) Under Experiment-X/Trial-Y/Documentation/Photos 2) Under Experiment-X/Trial-Y/Rep-Z/Documentation/Photos
I think these folders provide added functionality beyond the four *_Data/Photos sub-directories within each Repetition.
So, the reason I have this wish is that I created (1) above and uploaded photos into the non-default directory. However, it seems these photos are not treated equally to those in the default Photo locations:
1) I cannot find them in the File Browser tab by selecting the photo query button. 2) I cannot place any of these photos into the filmstrip of the experiment. 3) I can see them unsorted under the Project/About Tab/additional photos list. All the photos from all trials are in one long list 24 or 96 at a time. I cannot do anything but download them from there.

Experts Group on Transnational Organized Crime (Lyon Group): 40 Recommendations
The Experts Group on Transnational Organized Crime (Lyon Group) released these 40 Recommendations on which were approved at the G8 summit in Lyon in 1996. The G8 states, "The recommendations update the Counter-Terrorism Experts Group 25 Measures to address new terrorist threats as well as to complement the 40 Recommendations of the G8 crime group, known as the Lyon Group (1996). The Lyon Recommendations have also been modified in order to address more effectively the challenge of transnational crime threats. The revised Lyon Group Recommendations, now entitled the G8 Recommendations on Transnational Crime, were endorsed by G8 Ministers of Justice and the Interior (Mont-Tremblant, May 13-14, 2002)."
P8 - Senior Experts Group Recommendations
To combat Transnational Organized Crime efficiently members recommend the following:
1. States should review their laws governing criminal offences, jurisdiction, law
enforcement powers and international cooperation, as well as their measures dealing with
law enforcement training and crime prevention, to ensure that the special problems
created by Transnational Organized Crime are effectively addressed.
2. With the aim of improving mutual assistance, States should, as needed, develop mutual
legal assistance arrangements or treaties, and exercise flexibility in the execution of
requests for mutual assistance.
3. States should, where feasible, render mutual assistance, notwithstanding the absence of
dual criminality.
4. States developing mutual assistance treaties should ensure that the treaties:
a) provide a clear description of the scope of the assistance available,
b) encourage a speedy process of assistance,
c) are as comprehensive as possible in terms of types of assistance available and,
d) reflect the principle that evidence will be gathered in the manner sought by the
requesting states, unless the procedures are contrary to the fundamental principles of the
law of the Requested State. To further facilitate cooperation against Transnational
Organized Crime, States should consider negotiating arrangements in areas that are not
covered by Mutual Legal Assistance Treaties.
5. States should establish a Central Authority which would be structured to provide speedy
coordination of requests. The Central Authority should provide a quality control and
prioritizing function for both incoming and outgoing requests to take into account both
the seriousness of the offence and the urgency of the request.
At the same time, the Central Authority should not be seen as an exclusive channel for
assistance between States. Direct exchange of information between law enforcement
agencies should be encouraged to the extent permitted by domestic laws or arrangements.
6. States should prepare and distribute to other States materials that would describe the
channels of communication for mutual assistance and extradition and the process for
obtaining such assistance from that State.
7. In cases where a criminal activity occurs in several countries, States with jurisdiction
should coordinate their prosecutions and the use of mutual assistance measures in a
strategic manner so as to be more efficient in the fight against transnational criminal
8. States should be encouraged to develop, through treaties, arrangements and legislation, a
network for extradition.
States should modernise their extradition treaties by eliminating the lists of crimes and
allowing for extradition of conduct punishable in both States by deprivation of liberty in
excess of an agreed minimum period.
States should make best efforts to ensure that their domestic arrangements for extradition
are flexible enough to permit extradition to States of a different legal tradition. They
should seek to identify and eliminate obstacles to extradition, including those that may
arise from the differences between legal systems, by, for example, simplifying
evidentiary and procedural requirements.
9. States should ensure that their domestic arrangements for extradition are as effective and
expeditious as possible.
States should also consider the possibility of extradition without a treaty.
10. If extradition of nationals is not permitted by the Requested State, and the extradition of
one of its nationals is requested, the Requested State should:
1) allow for conditional extradition on the condition that it is only for trial and that its
national be promptly returned after trial to its territory for service of any sentence within
the limits of the law of the Requested State, or
2) allow for transfer/surrender, when it is permitted by domestic law, only for trail
and on the condition that its national be promptly returned after trial to its territory for
service of any sentence within the limits of the law of the Requested State, or
3) apply the rule of «aut dedere, aut judicare» by, at the request of the Requesting
State, submitting the case to its competent authorities in order that proceedings may be
taken if they are considered appropriate.
11. States should promote other techniques for mutual education that will facilitate mutual
assistance and extradition, such as language training, secondments and exchanges
between personnel in Central Authorities or between executing and requesting agencies.
Training courses, joint seminars and information exchange sessions should be
encouraged on a bilateral, regional and world wide basis.
12. Consideration should also be given to posting in other States representatives of
prosecuting agencies or of judicial authorities.
13. States should provide effective protection for individuals who have given or agreed to
give information or evidence, or who participate or who have agreed to participate in an
investigation or prosecution of an offence, and of the relatives and associates of those
individuals who require protection, because of risk to the security of the person.
14. States should consider, as appropriate, reciprocal arrangements for the protection of
witnesses and other endangered persons.
15. States should consider adopting appropriate measures to ensure the protection of
witnesses during criminal proceedings. These might include such methods as testifying
by telecommunications or limiting the disclosure of the address and identifying
particulars of witnesses. Consideration should be given to the temporary transfer as
witnesses of persons in custody enlargement of the admissibility of written statements,
and the use of modern technology, such as video links, to overcome some of the current
difficulties with obtaining the testimony of witnesses located outside the prosecuting
16. States should review their laws in order to ensure that abuses of modern technology that
are deserving of criminal sanctions are criminalized and that problems with respect to
jurisdiction, enforcement powers, investigation, training, crime prevention and
international cooperation in respect of such abuses are effectively addressed. Liaison
between law enforcement and prosecution personnel of different States should be
improved, including the sharing of experience in addressing these problems. States
should promote study in this area and negotiate arrangements and agreements to address
the problem of technological crime and investigation.
17. States should take all other lawful steps available under domestic legislation, to ensure
that they do not provide safe havens for criminals.
18. We commend the work does by Interpol and World Customs Organization calling upon
these organizations to maintain and develop their support for operational activity,
facilitating as rapid as possible as exchange of information between law enforcement
agencies. We call upon them to focus on a strategic overview of the methods of, and
trends in, Transnational Organized Crime for the benefit of all their member countries.
19. In order to facilitate the work of law enforcement practitioners we will, on request,
provide brief guides on our respective legal systems and on the mandates of relevant
20. States should identify within their existing structures central contact points for the
purpose of facilitating contact between their operational agencies. It may be useful to
locate these points in liaison with the Interpol National Central Bureau.
21. We stress the important contribution that liaison officers can make to the fight against
Transnational Organized Crime. We encourage States to make the most effective use
possible of their liaison officers in other countries and to consider additional postings. We
stress the need for liaison officers to have access, in accordance with the law of the host
country, to all agencies in that country with relevant responsibilities.
22. We reiterate our condemnation of drug trafficking which is a major source of finance for
Transnational Organized Criminal Groups.
Therefore, we:
· reaffirm the importance of the three United Nations Conventions (1961, 1971 and
1988) which are fundamental to action against illicit drugs,
call on all States to adopt and fully implement legislation in accordance with those
· believe in the value of giving the widest publicity to information issued by official
international bodies, such as the International Narcotic Control Board, on illicit drug
production, trafficking and the proceeds of the illicit drug trade.
· will work in all relevant fora to prevent the diversion of chemical precursors used in
illicit drug production and take necessary steps to implement fully all relevant
international agreements,
· welcome and support implementation of the recommendations of United Nations
International Drug control Program working group on maritime cooperation.
23. In order to ensure more effective transnational crime prevention, and foster public safety,
we will develop strategies to identify and combat the illicit traffic in firearms.
In furtherance of this goal, and in support of the specific recommendations contained in
the May 1995 resolution from the Ninth United Nations Congress on the Prevention of
Crime and the Treatment of Offenders and the July 1995 United Nationals Economic and
Social Council resolution, we will, and encourage other States to, review existing
firearms laws and regulations to facilitate discussion at an international level.
We will promote information exchange among our relevant law enforcement authorities.
We encourage States to enhance the exchange of information useful for law enforcement
purposes (e.g., data for the identification of illicit firearms and specific information on
tests conducted on firearms and ammunition which have been used in the course of
criminal activities.).
24. States should ensure that immigration services play their part in the fight against
Transnational Organized Crime. We note the involvement of Transnational Organized
Crime in alien smuggling and call upon all States to enact legislation to criminalize such
smuggling of persons. Immigration services and other agencies should:
- exchange information on the transnational movement of organized criminals,
- have as full as possible an exchange of information on forged and stolen documents
used by traffickers,
- consider the most effective means for its communication.
We will take necessary steps to improve the quality of our travel documents. We
encourage other States to improve theirs and will assist them to do so.
25. We support the exchange of law enforcement expertise regarding scientific and
technological developments such as advances in forensic sciences.
26. We emphasize the relevance and effectiveness of techniques such as electronic
surveillance, undercover operations and controlled deliveries. We call upon States to
review domestic arrangements for those techniques and to facilitate international
cooperation in these fields, taking full account of human rights implications. We
encourage States to exchange experiences of their use.
27. We emphasize the importance of giving the fullest possible protection to sensitive
information received from other countries.
The competent authorities of different States, should advise each other as to the
requirements regarding the disclosure of information in the course of judicial and
administrative proceedings, and discuss in advance potential difficulties arising from
those requirements.
A transmitting State may make conditions for the protection of sensitive information
before deciding whether to transmit it. A receiving State must abide by the conditions
agreed with the transmitting State.
28. Building on current cooperative arrangements, the different agencies in our countries will
develop their work together in specific law enforcement projects targeted on
Transnational Organized Crime. We have formulated practical guidance on project-based
action and commend this approach to all States.
Project-based action involves bilateral multilateral priority setting, targeting, resourcing
and assessment of law enforcement operations drawing on the strength of the full range
of competent agencies.
29. We welcome the Financial Action Task Force on Money Laundering to resolve to extend
criminalization of money laundering to other serious offences.
30. States should consider adopting legislative measures for the confiscation or seizure of
illicit proceeds from drug trafficking and other serious offences, asset forfeiture, as
required, and the availability of provisional arrangements, such as the freezing or seizing
of assets, always with due respect for the interest of bona fide third parties. States should
also consider the introduction of arrangements for the equitable sharing of such forfeited
31. States should consider implementing measures to detect and monitor the physical
transportation of cash and bearer negotiable instruments at the border, subject to strict
safeguards to ensure proper use of information and without impeding in any way the
freedom of legitimate capital movements.
32. States should adopt the necessary legislative and regulatory measures to combat
corruption, establish standards of good governance and legitimate commercial and
financial conduct, and develop cooperation mechanisms to curb corrupt practices.

on the experience gained to adapt and improve national and international training
activities in this area, in conjunction with the action of the Financial Action Task Force
on Money Laundering.
34. In order to improve understanding and information on the detection of financial networks
linked to transnational organized crime (in particular investments by Transnational
Organized Crime), we encourage States to take measures to gather financial information
and, as much as possible, facilitate the exchange of such information, including
exchanges between law enforcement agencies and regulatory bodies.
35. We urge States to adhere to and fully implement existing relevant multilateral
Conventions whose provisions effectively contribute to the fight against all forms of

adopting new instruments, in response to developing needs in the fight against
Transnational Organized Crime.
37. We support and encourage the provision and reporting of clear and accessible
information on adhesion to and implementation of the main conventions.

concentrate their efforts within their areas of competence on activities of practical value
to member States.
39. We will work together in the governing bodies of International Organisations whenever
possible, in order to give more coherent impetus and coordination to the fight against
Transnational Organized Crime.
40. We will seek to ensure that all International Organisations that play and effective role in
the fight against Transnational Organized Crime have adequate resources to fulfill their
mandate. We will also examine possibilities for providing appropriate financial resources
for specific, practical and viable projects developed by competent International

This looks like a great set. However, I'm not totally won over and not sure if I'll purchase it.
In terms of engineering 1/6 scale greatness, I want a Destroyer Droid.
I have the Hasbro Speederbikes. My only desire there is for a non-smiling Leia in Endor Poncho.
As to small vehicle / objects? How about a courier droid that carries the kohouns to Padme's apartment that includes a sturdy enough stand that you could hang an AOTC Obi-Wan from it?
What about the E2 air speeder that Anakin and Obi-Wan use?
An Ewok glider would be awesome!
So maybe the STAP. I haven't decided yet. You?

Just about every sustainability magazine on the planet, much less the food ones seems obsessed with no-knead breads. No-knead is trumpeted by everyone on the planet as the easy, awesome way to make bread, the thing that will convert non-bread makers into converts. Now don't get me wrong - I don't really have a dog in this hunt - I'm certainly not opposed to no-knead, but I don't see it as the miracle that some do.
I've had some utterly delicious no-knead breads. I don't think they are bad - Kate at Living the Frugal Life demonstrated a lovely recipe that I've enjoyed a number of times. I particularly like the crust. I also have come to like this recipe with chocolate chunks instead of olives quite a lot. I just didn't see why we were fetishizing not kneading.
You see, the most amazing part of no-knead bread is the crust, and the crust itself isn't a product of not kneading - it comes from being baked in an enclosed dutch oven which traps the steam inside. You can get exactly the same results with just about any bread recipe by baking it in a pre-heated cast iron or enamel dutch oven.
The other part of the technique that is somewhat different chemically in no-knead is that the wetter doughs of no-knead bread allow for a particular crumb texture with lots of holes. I find I get pretty similar results using a sponge or pre-ferment with sourdough or yeast kneaded doughs, though. If you want a wet dough, using a mixer or no-knead techniques will be necessary, since most of us won't enjoy the sensory experience of kneading really wet doughs by hand.
As for the rest, honestly, I don't find no-knead bread to be any faster than kneaded bread to make - yes, you skip the kneading, but there are more total steps. Nor do I find them on average any tastier than good kneaded bread. What bothers me a little is the implicit statement that kneading is aweful -I don't hate kneading bread, in fact, I rather like it. I t doesn't take long, it isn't hard and I find it satisfying. Now I can certainly imagine that for those with arthritis or other physical difficulties, no-knead bread is a godsend, but I admit, I'm a little mystified generally about why everyone is so passionate about it. You'd think kneading was like splitting locust chunks from the hype "NOW you can actually make bread!" Really? Was the saved 2 minutes and not having to punch some dough what was stopping most people?
I don't really begrudge it - I suspect that no-knead bread has been a great advertisement for making bread. You take something people imagine is hard, and take out the part that people imagine is hard, and poof, people get excited about bread. And many of the breads are very good. I do hope, however, that kneadless breads will lead others to experiment with kneaded breads which can produce different textures and flavors. There are a lot of kinds of bread out there.
I also hope that people who find long-rise breads inconvenient will realize there are kneaded breads out there that can really move the process along - no knead bread is simple in one respect, but if you are out of bread at 4pm and want it for breakfast the next day, other techniques are more useful. If you are baking bread for a crowd, well, I can bake one huge loaf in my biggest cast iron dutch oven (I have the biggest size Lodge makes), but I can bake MORE loaves and MORE total bread in bread pans or on cookie sheets - which is useful for my family of six if I don't want to bake as often (as in the warm weather). Making maximum use of oven space generally won't lead to no-knead techniques for me.
For me the impetus to learn to make decent bread was pretty simple - 4 bucks a loaf for local artisanal bread xs the 10 loaves of bread my family can eat in a week (including four Challot) as toast, sandwiches, snacks, french toast, bread pudding, etc... I don't think we need to spend $40 a week on bread when I can produce the same amount of high quality for about $4 in ingredients.
I have no quarrel with anyone who has found this to be a great way to make bread - it can produce fabulous results. What bothers me a little bit is that it seems to do so by buying into some of the more troubling cultural assumptions - basic cooking is hard, faster is always better, labor saving techniques/devices always result in labor saving, etc... Much as many "labor saving" devices implicitly teach us to assume that the work was too hard before, so does the emphasis on "no-knead" imply that kneading bread was necessarily onerous and should be eliminated.
Add in that no-knead doesn't necessarily save energy for everyone (depending on how you are cooking and how many loaves you might need) or give the best results for every kind of bread you might want to make, and it does bother me a bit.
If no-knead bread really results in people recognizing how good homemade bread is, and encouraging people who can't buy local or afford local artisan bread to make their own, awesome. I just worry that the whole idea that kneading is bad will prevent people from seeing that there are a lot of good ways to make good bread, and that bread ultimately is adaptable - this is one useful adaptation, it just isn't the only one.

POC Storm Shadow is one of the nicest Joe figures they've made, but he's got this weird desert vibe going on (because of all the deserts in Japan, y'know). Next, I'd say Renegades Storm Shadow is best; he comes with interchangeable heads and sashes so you can display him as the Renegades or classic version, and is a downright awesome figure. If you want the first 25th Anniversary mold (which isn't bad at all, just eclipsed by later sculpts), I really like the black-garbed "Ninja-Ku" version, even though he's not really traditional. (Ninja-Ku was a repaint of SS for a Brazilian line, who was an African-American guy, but they just made him be Storm Shadow for the 25th line... don't ask.)
Zartan... I don't know the HOH version (I passed on all of those because they were too similar to earlier versions and cost too much, though I got one or two at Marshall's eventually). The POC version is really nice, but, uh, he's basically Raptor with Zartan's head.

As we drove toward Rockland in late morning on Saturday, we tried to make plans for the remainder of the afternoon before the show. We had a "Coastal Maine" tourist book that my grandmother provided. Reading it, we learned that Rockland was the Lobster Capital of the World! Well what a coincidence. We had yet to eat lobster in Maine this week. And this seemed like the place to do it! We soon realized, however, that much of coastal Maine is tourist-driven, and many restaurants are simply closed in November. Hm. We would have hated getting into Rockland around 1:00 or 1:30, and finding all the good restaurants closed while our stomachs began to eat themselves.
Not wanting to run that risk, we made the quick decision to pull over to a restaurant in Wiscasset. From the outside, it looked cute. "Taste of Maine."
When we walked inside, it was as we hoped our first lobster restaurant would be. The place was heavily decorated with Maine paraphrenalia, memorabilia, and every other kind of -lia's you could think of.
With the help of our server, we decided to order the lazy-man lobster--served already out of the shell. We knew that part of the experience would be cracking the crustacean open ourselves... but... paying 40 dollars for lunch, I really wanted to get the most food possible. Ignorantly picking at an animal as it looked back at me just didn't seem the best way to do that. So we let the experts do the dirty work.
Our post-lobster-lunch conclusion? In our opinions, the tail is not so awesome. Kinda strange consistency, and not loaded with flavor. The claw meat was better consistency, and actually pretty good. But there wasn't enough of it. All things considered, we didn't love it. Lobster is supposed to be this elite delicacy, but we weren't really catching that vibe. We would probably have the meat as part of a larger dish, like lobster cakes or rolls, but on its own, lobster wasn't worth it to us. And we were very glad we didn't have to do the dirty work ourselves, or else we may not have eaten anything.
You know, lobsters were originally given by the rich people to the poor people and servants of colonial Maine. Why? Because lobsters were crawling everywhere in the harbors. They were practically pests. And frankly, if you haven't noticed, they're ugly. Who'd want to eat that? So they said "Have the poor people eat them!"
Well, the upper class apparently realized they were missing something. And now they charge 25 dollars a pound. And the poor people can't have lobster any more.
It's okay. We prefer chicken. But hey--we can cross "Eat lobster in Maine" off our list.
Kelsey consulted our Coastal Maine book again and found that the Breakwater Lighthouse was near the church in Rockland. So, we navigated there and were a little underwhelmed. Okay, we kinda pictured the tall, striped, tower-like lighthouses. Those aren't mythological, they exist, but Breakwater is not one of them. It was a lighthouse, with emphasis on the "house", out on a long stone "breakwater." This barrier is pretty impressive. Huge chunks of solid granite were placed at the mouth of the harbor to form a 7/8-mile-long wall. It took about 9 years to build, completed in 1899, and has been protecting the harbor from buffeting surf ever since.
Kelsey and I began to walk out toward the lighthouse, but we soon reasoned that it would be much more enjoyable, say, in July. It was cold and windy, and it made 7/8 mile look like an eternity. We wimped out and turned back about halfway. But while we were there, we took a few pictures, which are included.
But for now, we could cross "See a lighthouse" off our Maine to-do list, too.
After warming up with some Dunkin Donuts, we arrived at Grace Bible Fellowship for work. A couple guys on staff helped us set up, and we were ready in no time. The event was planned to be for Grace's church family and fellow area church members in attempts to unify the traditionally independant churches in Rockland. The pastor explained that though it's been a little better lately, the spiritual culture in Maine is very difficult. Most people feel too self-sufficient to want to go to church. And those who do attend church do so very infrequently. Pastor Mike at Grace hopes to bring churches together so that they can be a more powerful light in the community.
I wish I could say the evening was a obviously abundant success, but unfortunately I cannot. Sadly, not a single person showed up for the show. The only people in the room besides Kelsey and I were the pastor, his wife and niece, and three staff members who helped set up in the first place.
Pastor Mike expressed his apologies and embarrassment.
"No, please, don't be embarrassed for our sakes. Would you like to see the show?"
And so we did.
At the end, our friends gave high praise for the show. "Even better than last year!" We all wished more people would have come to see it, but we valued getting to interact with the people in the room anyway.
On a side note, I hope to have more sensitivity to church events when we're regular attenders somewhere.
We packed up, and the pastor then took us out to dinner. He was joined by his wife Becky and niece Myla. They graciously treated us to Applebee's as we talked about things trivial and substantial. Everything from the funny eating habits we all have to the various pastors they support in Cuba and Poland. When we got back to their house, it was well past our bedtime.
The next morning brought sun (the sun rises early in Maine!), and toasted English muffins for breakfast. We expressed our wishes that we could have stayed longer, as they were really a very pleasant family, but we had to move on to New Hampshire and beyond that evening.
Before we pulled away, we left a brief thank-you note along with some gift cards. Two for Applebee's to cover our dinner they so generously provided, and two for Walmart. Kelsey explained in her note that we hope these cards help free them to continue their support for those pastors they have contact with in other countries.
Sometimes that's another strategy we can take. We may not have the networks, resources and opportunity to directly help another ministry. But we can bless and provide for those who do.
Thank you Mike, Becky, and Myla for being such wonderful hosts. May God continue to bless your work in Rockland, and increase your ministry abroad.

Area schools in Northeast Mississippi took extra security precautions Monday after threats to a school were made. Nothing has happened and authorities continue to be on heightened alert.
Several schools reported hearing about an online threat of a shooting in the Prentiss County area. There have been no reports of an incident at this time.
Prentiss County Superintendent Randle Downs said he got in touch with law enforcement after getting a call at 6 a.m. this morning from someone had heard about a threat to the school district. Downs said the schools remain on alert and nothing has happened and he can't confirm or deny the threat was real at this point. A small number of parents have picked students up from the Prentiss County schools, but it has not been widespread.
New Albany Superintendent Jackie Ford said they had a semi lock down extra police presence, and Union County schools were locked down just until police arrived. Nothing happened on either campus.
Other schools including Baldwyn, Booneville, Lee County and Tupelo also reported responding with additional law enforcement or heightened alert, but nothing had happened and school was going on as normal.

favorite time of year for me!! I like Bubba Watson or Phil to win.
all that being said, Tiger is far from finished, I am not a fan, but he will win again and win a major, maybe not this week but soon....too much talent there not too, once he finds a putting stroke again the scores will be low again..Right now its all mental,He may not dominate golf again but he will win.
All time favorite tournament to watch on tv. I am sure I won't miss a minute of weekend coverage.
I like Ricky Fowler or Dustin Johnson. Wouldn't mind seeing Ryo Ishakawi win since he committed to donating all of his 2011 earnings to the Japanese Relief Fund.
Tiger has got his game on.
It would be great to see him and McIlroy paired up, after the smack talkin' the twerp did.

would you take bridgewater if he somehow fell to us? the kid is legit. but im an alum and use to play football for Louisville. the kid is impressive as hell
He's not going to fall to us.
Thanks Shifty!
He's a good player. At this point, I'd stay with Tannehill....However, I'd not be upset if
I were a fan of the team that drafted Bridgewater. Even the one pick he threw today, he seemed
to know right away he ****ed up. His backup looks pretty sharp too.
Marlon Moore or Megatron?
Devlin or Marino?
Matt Moore or Rodgers?
I would wait until the end of the season. If we have a late draft pick, Tannehill obviously came through for us. If we have a top 5 pick, either he got injured, or he was not too great. Also, you can't assume a QB who torches a crappy team is the real deal. My college (FIU), is **** at football. They beat Louisville at Louisville two seasons ago, and last season when they were undefeated, they came down to our stadium, on a horrible day of flooding. I think there were less than 500 people at the game. We should have beat them, easily, but they ended up winning out of pure luck and us being that bad at football. So you can't judge these guys until they consistently beat the tough competition.
I'd trade the pick.
Man this really is comparing apple and oranges. What you've got to figure out in this instance is who has the higher upside. Teddy is more polished right now that Tannehill (Teddy called his own plays for a series against Ohio). Tannehill spent time at WR in college that slowed his growth at the QB position. How far can he go in his development? Teddy already does most of the things an NFL caliber QB does but how much more can he develop at the NFL level?
It's tough to say, but I have a bias toward Bridgewater. But that's just me.
Turns out, far too much has been written about great men and not nearly enough about morons. Doesn't seem right.
If we are in a position to draft Teddy Bridgewater it would mean that our season was a complete failure as he's probably the 2nd overall pick at worst.
I'm good with Tannehill, but hypothetically speaking if we suck that bad and Tannehill regresses the idea of bringing Teddy home (he is from Miami) would probably do quite a bit for the fanbase and is an interesting prospect.
This is a great thread I think and needs to be considered for a couple of reasons. If the Fins, as upsetting as it would be, tank this season than Ireland is as good as gone. Which leaves Philbin's status up in the air. You have the trickle down effect from there with Mike Sherman who was Tannehill's college coach and one of the reasons supposedly we picked him due to his knowledge of Sherman's offense. Needless to say things could get interesting should a new coach and GM come in.
In terms of Teddy Bridgewater, I've been watching this guy for two years hoping somehow he ended up becoming a Dolphin. He's got all the intangibles that you look for in a QB. I believe he has the same "it" factor that young qb's like Kaepernick, RG III, Wilson, Luck, and even Matt Ryan have. Those qb's you know have it and that is still yet to be seen from guys like Tannehill, Gabbert, Weeden amongst others. So I think it boils down to risk or reward. Do you risk that Tannehill can be that guy should he struggle this year and possibly learn a brand new system? Do you go with a guy who you know is more polished than him right away?
