Got a question for Hasbro? Ask it here!
My Photos and Reviews: SSG Toy Guide
My Star Wars Fan Film: The Lazy Jedi
Between the Jedi News and the previously leaked Hasbro Customer Service thing, I'm thinking the next few waves are going to go something like this. All personal speculation, of course.
Wave 4 (like all the other rumors suggest):
Chewie (ANH)
Anakin (ROTS)
Clonetrooper (AOTC)
Obi-Wan (repack)
Wave 5:
Darth Vader (ROTJ - although the previous leaked list said EP 5)
Luke (ROTJ)
Sandtrooper (second pauldron color)*
Chewbacca (repack)
Wave 6:
Darth Vader (repack)
TIE Pilot
[Blank spot]
Wave 7:
C-3PO (repack)
Sandtrooper (third pauldron color)*
[Blank spot]
*- There were multiple Sandtrooper listings.
I'm not all that happy with the character selection, but it's not terrible. I'm hoping the Sandtroopers vary more than just being repainted pauldrons since at least the next one isn't using the same number as the Orange one, according to Jedi News' sheet. I'd like to see the White pauldron come with the security hover droid and a stand for it, and the folding stock E-11 that apparently the Stormtrooper isn't coming with now. Then the Black pauldron could come with a Dewback prod/lance and this rifle.
"Hokey packaging and ancient gimmicks are no match for good detail on your figure, kid."
"I am a Klingot from Oklahoma in human boy form."
"We came, we saw, we conquered... We, woke up!"
Anyone hear about a new sculpted Lobot (Lando's Aide) in 2014? 2004 was the last version and before that was 1997. He needs to be redone. Since Hasbro seems to be on an Empire Strikes Back kick. Also the mustached Bespin Guard needs to be done in the black series or Saga Legend 5POA line. People's thoughts. Thanks.
I think having a mini-wave, of similar characters or scenes would work: think Lobot, Bespin Lando, Bespin Leia, Wing Guard. Or various Hoth outfits. Those would do well in the 6" line, I think.
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
Bantha Skull and JediTempleArchives have released new rumors, which include these figures:
Anakin Skywalker (The Clone Wars)
Commander Thorn
Mosep Binneed
Princess Leia Organa (Yavin Ceremony)
Yavin Medal Bearer
Dutch Vander (Y-wing Pilot)
Darth Vader (Yoda's Test)
Princess Leia Organa (Boussh Disguise)
Chewbacca (Boussh's Prisoner)
Their lists also include figures revealed or shown at Toy Fair:
Captain Rex (Phase I; originally planned for 2013 Legacy Collection)
Commander Wolffe
Commander Doom
Luke Skywalker (Wampa Attack)
R5-G19 (Home One)
Along with these repacks, which have been previously rumored:
Imperial Navy Commander (TVC; may or may not be gray-suited repaint)
Darth Malgus (TVC)
Starkiller (TVC)
It's unclear if Anakin will actually be from TCW, as the rumors also say he might be a ROTJ spirit, but I'd be happy with a version in the outfit he wears in Seasons Three through Six. Commander Thorn is the red-armored shock trooper who carries "the hammer," inspired by Thor, and defends the banks on Scipio in Season Six. Doom is the second Marvel reference clone, in the green-and-yellow Dr. Doom armor seen in the Order 66 arc in Season Six. I'm glad to see a good selection of TCW figures, even if it is mostly clones. (As I'll keep saying, I'm waiting on spider-Maul, Pong Krell, Bo-Katan, Mandalorian Obi-Wan, etc. . . .)
ANH and ROTJ are well represented here. It'll be great to finally get Mosep, one of the two cantina Nimbanels. Yavin Leia would be very welcome as the two 1998 figures look incredibly outdated. I don't really think we need another Dutch Vander and I'd rather have the other few unmade pilots first, but the 2004 version is giant and doesn't fit in with the other pilots, so whatever. No word on where C-3PO will be from. The 2006 Boussh Leia isn't bad, but she doesn't have modern articulation. The 2006 prisoner Chewie was just a kitbashed figure and the only other version was the short one from 1998 so a new one could be cool.

Mosep! Yay!
Everything else, meh. Yet another dream Vader? And "Medal Bearer" is released before Cliegg Lars? C'mon.
And please tell me "Commander Doom" is a joke. I know you're not going to, but I really hope you will. Because that makes Waru look not stupid by comparison.
That's my jacket!
JediTempleArchives updated again based on a post from "Stan," the guy on the Rebelscum forums who claims to have ties to the factory. He's often wrong and occasionally right, but JTA seems to think that this is indeed the real deal. I have a hard time believing that Hasbro will reveal ALL these figures at SDCC, and he claims they'll be spread out before Episode VII's release, but here's the list:
Power Droid
Momaw Nadon (Hammerhead)
Imperial Gunner
Han Solo (Hoth Outfit)
Lando Calrissian
Bespin Security Guard
Shasa Tiel (Jabba's Palace Ishi Tib)
Vedain (Nikto Skiff Guard Driver)
Han Solo (In Carbonite)
Saelt-Marae (Yak Face)
I'd assume that Hoth Han would at least have the soft goods from the Search for Luke Skywalker pack, and hopefully the hood-up head since that's how he looked when riding the Tauntaun. Maybe the Bespin Security Guard will be a mustachioed version, and maybe the Power Droid will be a vintage update. Even without those two, that's at least three unmade characters, which isn't a great ratio but it's better than nothing.

My Star Wars Fan Film: The Lazy Jedi
If this rumor list is true, THERE ARE SOME FIGURES I WILL ACTUALLY GET EXCITED ABOUT and do somersaults over!
Tzizvvit - YES!!! I love new cantina characters and there are more to be made!
Power Droid - it's possible
Bespin Security Guard - yes, the mustached guy! The mustache is an important accessory our Cloud City Wing Guards have been lacking.
Shasa Tiel (Jabba's Palace Ishi Tib) - YES!!! She is way overdue!
I could buy a very small number of multiples of the two Cantina and Jabba's aliens, and maybe a couple Bespin Guards.
If Mosep is also coming out, I could purchase a few of him, too.
I'm still down for 3 Torryn Farrs and a few Brock Starshers (Sgt Doayllyn).
If they want to re-release figures (and Darth Malgus is an EU being re-released) then Malek and Revan are good candidates.
6" really needs a Snowtroooper!
BAD Pts Need: R5-C7 lf leg (x2), , R4-P44 right leg BAD Pts Offered For Trade: PM me - I have lots of parts now including BG-J38!. New Kyle Katarn is also available.
Barada is the only name on the list that generates any real excitement for me. Look forward to seeing what they do with the figure; but if he turns out to be just a repaint or retool of Kithaba, then I might have to pass.
Vedain might be cool, but Vizam was always my favorite Nikto and I'm a bit burned out on that species right now.
Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split. - Robert E. Howard

How to Transform Your Dress With Fashion Accessories
The beauty of wearing a dress is that it suits all occasions. Whether you are wearing a tailored dress or a simple little black dress, it can be suited to fit your needs. You do not need to buy the most expensive dress on the rack; all you need is to transform what you already have. By using fashion accessories you can feel confident in what you are wearing.
I have more accessories then I do dresses. I make my accessories make my outfit. By tailoring your accessories I choose to be dressed-up or dressed-down. If I have a day event to go to but need a more formal approach for evening, I do not change my whole outfit but rather bring with me a few key pieces of accessories. This can be as simple as changing out my shoes and putting on a nice necklace and earring.
For a more dress-up appearance, consider wear drop down earrings, chandelier earrings or a simple pearl earring. Think about pulling your hair up into a twist or a chignon with a beautiful hair clip. Make good choices on your shoes. It can be a high heel or low, which ever you choose, make sure they are comfortable, as there is nothing worse than that painful blister.
Use a small purse or a clutch bag is much classier then "the big purse". If you are wearing a tailored dress a scarf is a nice accessory to wear to soften the look of all those tailored lines. A pin can make a dress make a statement. If you only have a black dress sitting in your closet, but are thinking of a fun fresh look, choose more colourful accessories. Then at night time choose the more reserve, classic pieces.
For a more dress-down appearance you can consider hoop earrings or ones that are more fun and colourful. If you choose to wear a necklace, this is where you can let your personality shine. There are a lot of great necklaces out there in all different styles that can make or break an outfit. Your hair can be in a simple braid or consider wearing a nice sunhat with your chosen dress. Sandals or low heels would be appropriate.
In the end, it is all about being true to you. Feel confident in what you wear and trust me people will take notice. Make your personality be said through the fashion accessories that you choose. Take the dress you have and have fun with it, then sit back and enjoy all those compliments that will be coming your way.

Small Guide to Islam Dress Code
Muslim fashion has grown significantly in the past few years, and it is not only just clothing for adults, but fashion for children as well. Here are tips on how you choose the right Muslim fashion
First as a Muslim woman by the rules of Islam, clothes aimed at protecting the wearer body from the things that could hurt her, in addition to covering the aurat. That is why Muslim women choose clothes that disguise the loose silhouette.
But wait, what is aurat? For a woman, everything is aurat except face and two palms. Aurat is very closed to sexuality. For instance, when a man see the navel, the thigh, the breast, the buttock or the hair of a woman, the man will surely got excited and his lust will start to control him. And this is what Islam don't want because when the lust start to control a person, he will surely lost his logic and mind. But there is some questions on about why must women cover their hair? Well, we never know what a person like to see. Sometime a man can get excited by just seeing some hair. So Islam want to take prevention since prevention is better than cure. Logically, why must a women appear sexier to other men rather than her husband? Also, why exposing your body everywhere if you are still a single? In Islam, women are valued highly, and must be treasured wether it is in the family or community.
Second, select an appropriate Muslim dress collection in size so as not to disturb your walking process. Another reason that Islam forbid tight clothes is, a too tight clothes might disrupt your skin breathing process as well as natural body sweating circulation, while a dress that is too big in size is also dangerous because it can be stepped on while walking and cause the wearer to fall
When you choose Muslim dress code, you should not use the double-tight clothes with short sleeves, three-fourth blouse, or tank top. If you choose to wear Islam dress code, choose long sleeves.
Select materials and models that is suitable with your activity. If you are an active person, the best materials for your clothing are those that absorbs sweat fast and cannot easily ruffled, and consists of blouse,or long sleeved shirts, with a trousers. If your activity are less dynamic, the best options are blouse or long sleeved shirts with a long skirt.
Third, pick a headscarf / hijab model which remains your neck unexposed. You don't have to only look for a Muslim standard hijab. You can also wear a long scarf and create your own hijab wrap. The focus of Muslim fashion is on hijab, so make sure you make a stylish hijab wrap style. Sexy is not a standard in Muslim fashion, but gorgeous.
A different style of hijab wrapping that is suitable with your face shape, and your dress color, could bring the same gorgeous aura with $1000 hair making.
Select clothes that disguise the lack of models of the body to bring your self confidence. For example, a thin person should wear clothing that seemed stacked, and for those who extra size should use lightweight materials.
Remember to stay tuned to fashion world, especially the latest trends of scarves, and long sleeved shirt in order to stay abreast of fashion trends and fashion but still follow the rules of Islam.
Must-Have Evening Dress Styles
There are various dress styles available in boutiques as well as on line stores. But not all dress styles are trendy and stylish and sometimes even the gorgeous attires are not suitable for you. You absolutely don't want to wear last season's dress to a chic party? Thus you need to dress in stylish and
Then you may ask what the latest trends of evening attires are. Some of the girls think that A-line dresses must be trendy; they are often seen in evening parties. But I would like to mind you that A-line dresses are no longer trendy for they have been done to death. It is high time that we should embrace more delicate evening gowns. Here I would like to introduce to you the body con dresses. This is a kind of form fitting dress which ends at mid thigh. You may have noticed that most of the body con dresses are strapless attires. If you are a stout girl, you'd better stay away from such dresses or you will look awkward.
Not everyone has the admirable figure. Then how should these girls pick their evening attires? Don't worry; the Grecian drape gowns will be perfect for them since this dress style is suitable for most of the body shapes. The Grecian drape gown is very stylish, you can see them worn by celebs and Hollywood stars at red carpet events. Although there are various designs of Grecian gowns, one of them remains trendy, that is the shouldered Grecian draped gown. Then it comes to the problem of the dress fabric. The choice of fabric can be anything from satin to chiffon. The only criteria is that the fabric must be body fitting.
If you love the vintage attires, you may choose the flapper gown. The flapper gown has made a comeback recently and it looks great with various embellishments – sequins, beading and pleats. Vintage styles like the flapper dresses are sleeveless and their hemline falls well above the knees. A flapper
To sum up, A-line dresses have been done to death, you need to try something new – body con dresses. And if the body con dress is not suitable for your body shape, you may try the Grecian drape dress. Except for the dress style, you have to keep an eye on the fabric. Body fitting fabrics are always favoured by most of the girls. If you love the vintage style dresses, you may opt for the flapper gowns. My last suggestion: shopping evening dresses on line will saves a lot of hassle and money.
Remember The Dress
'Dress shabbily and they remember the dress; dress impeccably and they remember the woman.'
Such was the mantra of Coco Chanel, legendary french wholesale ladieswear designer and one of the single most influential women in fashion ever, orchestrating the fashion world for over half a century, to the point that she was the only fashion designer named on Time Magazine's 100 Most Important People of the Century in 2007.
Other than the wholesale clothing manufacturers she founded, one of the largest and most influential in the world, likely her greatest creation was the 'Little Black Dress' or 'LBD' that she, and her wholesale ladieswear designers, succeeded in popularising across the entire century, and into the next. A wardrobe staple for women internationally, the dress is nothing short of iconic. Pioneered in the 1920's by Chanel herself, the piece is a wholesale clothing manufacturer's dream – a simple design for easy production, and in a neutral colour. It is long-lasting, affordable, created to be accessible to the absolute widest market possible and best of all, exceptionally versatile. Paired with accessories and heels for a night out, or pumps and a tailored blazer or jacket, the design is the saviour of the modern woman, and of the wholesale clothing manufacturers that produce them, too.
First appearing in Vogue in 1926, the dress was compared by wholesale clothing manufacturers to a Ford Model T, in that it could be accessible for women of all social classes. In an insightful claim, even for Vogue, it was heralded in an editorial as one day becoming 'a sort of uniform for all women of taste.'
Chanel's designs broke the sophisticated symbolic language that surrounded wholesale ladies fashion, especially wholesale ladies fashion, at the turn of the 19th century, where black had been reserved exclusively for mourning widows. This was a daring move after the scandal of John Singer Sargent's Portrait of Madame X, just a few years earlier, which had shown Virginie Amélie Avegno Gautreau, an infamous Parisian socialite, posing in a low-cut black dress. As well as their inherent popularity amoung wholesale ladies fashion designers and aforementioned versatility, it is possible that Hollywood saved Chanel's 'LBDs' from the same fate as Sargent's painting, as it was hugely popularised by femme fatales throughout the century as the default image for 'fallen' female characters.
Though decades after the first designs, the dresses were hugely popular following the release of Edwards' Breakfast at Tiffany's in 1961, with Audrey Heburn's classic combination of a pearl necklace, cigarette-holder and a Hugo Givenchy dress becoming one of the most recognisable outfits of the century. There is little doubt among wholesale ladieswear designers and proverbial fashionista's alike that the modern edge of the simple 'Little Black Dress ' will remain a
Hot and Bright Fashion Suits for Women
Hot shorts in vibrant colors are fast catching up with the customers all over the market. In addition; colorful jewelries, handbags, purses, shoes, and big glasses are also playing major role in shaping the fashion trends in women dresses in the current year.
Short Not yet Short
Wearing short dresses may make a woman look sexy but making it too short could be disastrous as far as fashion making is concerned. On the other hand sultry and sexy women dresses are meant for those that do not like to wear shorts. Shorts are good for those that have toned legs and smooth skins. For bit bulkier features, the longer apparels are more preferable. Fact remains that longer women fashion dresses could be as sexy and attractive as any of the best short dresses including casual wear.
Goodbye Full Skirt
One of the important parts of women dresses are the women skirts and mini skirts. For sometimes now full skirts were the trend in the women fashion dress market. Now they are gradually being replaced by bandaged skirts. Considered as the best fit for the women working the night out and fashionable to the core, their fitted tops give the perfect look to the wearer. Especially women looking for the slim figure looks will find the item excellent for their purpose since the fitted top readily accentuates the waistline. Other fashion clothes are the mini skirts those are mostly in neutral tones.
Other Fashion Trends in Women Dresses
Latest fashion trends for women in 2010 has the casual fitted t-shirts those are paired with other apparel like the denim jeans, fits especially nice on the women giving them the cool fashionable looks. One of the items that would never go out of fashion, denim jeans always constitute excellent article for women. Torn jeans and white t-shirts are very fashionable and look nice on the women. Business suits are available in form of blazers as well as formal trousers having leggings or even as shorts. Beads and bangles are often added to give them the feminine look that makes them perfect fashion suits for the women. Knee length Capri that could show off a beautiful and toned calf very well is hot favorite among the younger ones in the current year.
All in all; the current fashion trend is to look hot and sexy while remaining cool and decent.
Women's Fashion Trends For Autumn 2010
Autumn's coming up and it's for all of us to start updating our wardrobe with some new clothes for the upcoming winter. Browsing around all the latest trends for the upcoming season and there are some really good style tips for all the women out there!
The big fashion statement for this season is the long coat trench coat or duffel coat! Last winter saw the military jacket fashion statement back in and the response saw major retailers add women's military jackets to their Autumn Winter lines.
This fashion trend started when a lot for celebrities like Rihanna started wearing military jackets as a tribute to Michael Jackson and setup a huge following as everybody flocked to buy a military jacket. As with all fads and fashions, Military jackets are still in this season and a few more lines have been added as everybody is going for the long formal dressy trench coat/duffel coat look.
Boot cut jeans are also going to be big this season, major campaigns are including the boot cut look in their main lines; it is interesting to consider who inspired that look?
Military, '50s and '70s, minimalist, and androgynous are some of the styles that best characterize this season's trends, reflecting that woman wear them for versatility.. As for women's dresses , it would appear that the 50's look is back in
This winter is going to be all about the 1950's /1970's inspired look. Long trenchcoats, 50's dresses, high waisted trousers, bootcut jeans, flare trousers and the military androgynous look. With London fashion week fast approaching, there are some previews from specific designers and the collections look amazing. The military look is going to be a big thing in winter 2010/2011. If you remember last year we had the Michael Jackson tribute military jacket going on however this year it's more about long military trench coats. Over Knee boots are another major fashion trend for this season that can be combined with boot cut skinny fir jeans and the trench coat.
The dresses this season are influenced by the 1950s, the anticipation of all those luxury long dresses and the high waited polka dot dresses coming back is keeping fashionistas up at night. In terms of 50s
Club Dresses – Have Fun and Push Your Fashion Limits
Are you going to the clubs? If so, you need a sexy club dress. However, you don't want to play it safe when selecting club dresses. You want to have fun and push your fashion limits just a bit. The main job of clubwear is to make you look sexy and to help you attract the attention of men at the clubs. This means you need to push the limits a bit so you accomplish this.
Most club dresses are not that expensive, especially when you buy online. You can find all different styles too. There are sexy options and then there are drop dead gorgeous and provocative dresses that will make you the main attraction of the club.
Wondering what styles are available? Two pieces are often popular options. You can go with a micro mini skirt and a halter top for a great look. Mini dresses with sequins or made from metallic fabrics look sexy too. There are longer options with deep plunging necklines and long slits that smolder.
What you want is a dress that is going to hug all your curves in the right way. This is definitely the time to show off your body with the dress that you choose. This may include going with a low cut neckline to show some cleavage, a mini skirt or a slit skirt that shows off your legs. It could even include a low cut back to show off sexy shoulders and a nice back.
The main thing to remember is to have some fun. Enjoy yourself and push your limits just a bit when you are choosing clubwear. The "wow" factor is definitely important. You want to make heads turn and make men gasp when you walk into the room. This means you can't afford to play it safe. To be one of the sexiest women on the dance floor, choose a dress that shows off your sexiness and your confidence.
Fashion Myths De-Bunked
Why does it seem like the fashion powers-that-be are always contradicting themselves? If it looks like a duck and walks like a duck …
So one minute you have to match your handbag to your shoes and the next you absolutely should not perfectly match your accessories. It's a crazy world out there and who can keep all the fashion rules straight? They're always changing any way! Here are some fashion "DON'Ts" that are really fashions DOs!
Wear more than one pattern at a time
Obviously, you have to use some discretion here. You don't want to wear a leopard print dress with a zebra scarf. Choose a main pattern and let other patterns compliment it. Scarves, when worn correctly, are a great way to accent a great pattern on a dress or skirt. Actress like Kate Bosworth knows how to mix and match patterns.
Go ahead, wear horizontal stripes (we dare you!)
While you need to exercise some restraint–you don't want to look like an oversized bumblebee–but horizontal midsized stripes can look great in a top. Break up the lines with a cute cardigan and steer clear or crew neck tops with horizontal stripes. If black and white is too startling of a contrast, consider color combos like black and gray or purple and magenta.
Match your shoes and bag? No way!
If you want to look old-fashioned and out of date, go for the super matchy look. But if you want to look as fashion forward as a well-known Ms. Carrie Bradshaw a la Sex & the City, then try a hot color combination like a bright yellow leather clutch with brown sandals or a gold clutch with black platforms. Just make sure to pair complimentary colors, or pick up a hue from a blouse, dress or skirt.
Wearing leggings as pants
Okay, ladies. I don't care how old (or young) you are, leggings just don't cut it as pants. This is one trend that has been too liberally interpreted by the masses as a free-for-all let it all hang out frenzy. It must stop. Leggings should be worn as a modern substitute for tights. Pair them with a long tunic, butt covering blouse or shirt dress but never, ever should your bum–or other girl parts–show.

I will admit that I was growing increasingly impatient with Smith before the season began, but even his tackling has somewhat improved. It is far from perfect, but it is demonstrably better than previous years.
http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/201...le-joe-philbinNow that Coyle has Smith in his possession it appears he's figured out how to use this PRESS cornerback effectively.
Coincidentally, since using Smith to shadow the opposition's best receivers, Miami's defense has taken off, rising up the rankings at numerous statistical categories.
I think it relates more back to fundamentals," coach Joe Philbin said of Smith's growth. "As we watched him play, I thought his fundamentals and his technique, his positioning both pre-snap (and) post-snap, during the course of the route, was probably as good as its been. Theres still a couple plays there hes got to play better, but I thought he played well.
But can Smith keep this up, and if he does how much will it cost the Dolphins in the long run considering he'll be a free agent in 2013?

Welcome to the second half of this week's Poster Friday feature.
Part one of our biggest Poster Friday collection ever (separated into two parts) went up a few hours earlier featuring a pile of posters from last week and now it's time for the more recent one-sheets to be added to Screen Rant's wall.
These include: Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, Exam, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, Solomon Kane, Kick-Ass, Iron Man 2, [REC2], Tenderness, Warlords, From Paris With Love and Buried.
Let's get to it.
To start, here's a new poster for Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time featuring the film's star Jake Gyllenhaal as Prince Dastan.
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time opens May 28, 2010.

Empire has the exclusive banner poster for Exam, a UK film about a diverse group of candidates getting locked into a room together in the final step of an Apprentice-style interview only to realize the test sheets are blank and they're in for a surprise…
Exam comes out January 8, 2010.
Here's the one-sheet for The Twilight Saga: Eclipse courtesy of our friends at MoviesOnline.ca.
Eclipse quickly hits theaters June 30, 2010.
Here's a cool new one-sheet for Solomon Kane, a film I got to see a lot of at San Diego Comic-Con. It stars James Purefoy and we hope it gets a wide release.

Ain't It Cool News has the new Kick-Ass poster for the character known as The Red Mist. The Red Mist is played by none other than Chris Mintz-Plasse who made his mark as McLovin in Superbad.
Kick-Ass opens in theaters April 16, 2010.
If you're a Marvel fan, specifically a fan of Tony Stark, you've definitely already seen this. The biggest poster release of the week by far, was the Official Iron Man 2 one-sheet featuring our gold and red hero alongside a bad-ass looking War Machine. This one came from Yahoo.
Iron Man 2 blasts onto screens everywhere May 7, 2010.
Was that last poster not enough Iron Man for you? That's okay, the International Iron Man 2 poster also debuted this week, sans War Machine, and a hint of Robert Downey Jr. This poster came from Empire:
Shock Till You Drop put up three new teaser posters for [REC2]. Here's one of them – head to STYD for the others.
IGN has the poster for Russell Crowe's next flick, Tenderness.
Here's a new poster for The Warlords starring Jet Li.

There's two new posters out for From Paris With Love starring John Travolta and Jonathan Rhys Meyers. Head over to JoBlo for the second one, I'm just putting up the one with Travolta and his rocket launcher.
Quiet Earth put up a new poster for a movie I'm looking forward to starring Ryan Reynolds: Buried. You can check it out below and head over here to see the two rejected posters.
That's it for part two of this week's double feature of Poster Friday.
But I can't let you go without sharing another bonus – this one is a cool poster for the Battlestar Galactica fans out there – a banner you can buy at QuantumMechanix that features the evolution of the Cylon.
Thanks to SCI FI Wire for the find.
If you missed it, be sure to see what we added to Screen Rant's wall with part one of this week's Poster Friday. It included new one-sheets for Star Trek, The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond, Cash, Main St., The Electric Slide, The Devil's Double, The Horseman, Nine, A Single Man, District 13: Ultimatum, The Road, The Lovely Bones, The Wolfman, Avatar, Greenberg and 44 Inch Chest.
Of our second batch of posters, my favorites are the Iron Man 2 – War Machine and Red Mist ones. I also dig the Solomon Kane one just because James Purefoy is a bad-ass.
What are your favorites?

Cya next week!

Abusive debt collection practices can contribute to personal bankruptcies, employment and marital instability,
invasion of privacy, mental anguish and emotional distress. Even in times of economic prosperity, it may be difficult to meet certain
financial obligations due to a sudden loss of income, coping with a catastrophic injury, or other adverse situations. Maryland has been
at the forefront of protecting consumers against abusive debt collection practices by licensing collection agencies and enforcing
the Maryland Consumer Debt Collection Act.
Maryland Consumer Debt Collection Act1 ("the Act") provides recourse to Maryland consumers whose rights under the Act
have been violated. Please be advised that the Act does not apply to any commercial transaction or transactions entered to
carry on a business interest. Also, the collection of certain obligations owed to a state or the federal government may
preempt the law. Under the Act a collector who violates any provision of the Maryland law is liable for damages proximately
caused by the violation, including damages for emotional distress or mental anguish suffered with or without accompanying
Types of debts covered under the law: Consumer transactions involving a person seeking or acquiring real or personal property,
services, money or credit for personal, family, or household purpose.
Types of individuals subject to the law: Any person collecting or attempting to collect an alleged debt arising out of consumer
transaction. This includes creditors and or any person hired as an employee of the creditor, and third party collection organizations and
attorneys who collect debts for another.
Types of collection acts prohibited: In collecting or attempting to collect an alleged debt, a collector may not:
Inquire if a collection agency is licensed in Maryland
File a complaint with the Maryland Collection Agency Licensing Board
To File a Complaint at the Federal Level
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
Pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ("CFPB") is granted authority to issue regulations and
guidance related to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and Title X of the Dodd-Frank Act. The CFPB was created with debt
collection activities being one of the areas under its jurisdiction. The CFPB also published action letters for consumers to
consider using in corresponding with debt collectors. The letters address the following situations:
File a complaint with the CFPB
Or you can write the CFPB at the following address:
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
P.O. Box 4503, Iowa City, Iowa 52244
Or Fax (855) 237-2392
Phone Number: (855) 411-CFPB (2372)
8am-8pm, Eastern, Monday-Friday
The Federal Trade Commission
The Federal Trade Commission also collects complaints about abusive collection agency practices and enforces compliance with the
Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Your complaints can help detect patterns of wrong-doing, and lead to investigations and prosecutions.
The FTC enters all complaints it receives into Consumer Sentinel, a secure online database that is used by thousands of civil and criminal
law enforcement authorities worldwide.
The FTC does not resolve individual consumer complaints. The FTC has published several articles on the Fair Debt Collection
Practices Act (FDCPA). View these articles.

By John L. Pitts/NEMS Daily Journal
CORINTH – I can tell you exactly the year I fell in love with major league baseball box scores – 1974.
That was the summer Lou Brock stole a record 118 bases for the St. Louis Cardinals and I was a new high school graduate. At a time when it wasn't always happy in my house – I was a teenager, after all – it gave me something safe to discuss with my father and grandfather.
I followed Brock's quest in the fine print of the Nashville Tennessean, not realizing that in about five years I would be working there, typesetting those box scores.
When Bill James dared, in the 1980s, to bring a new set of measurements to the game – sabermetrics – I eagerly read his annual Baseball Abstract books, even as some of my USA Today colleagues scoffed at his ideas – including the notion that stolen bases are vastly overrated.
James' ideas eventually helped the Boston Red Sox win two World Series – and indirectly introduced a new term, "moneyball," into the sports conversation.
Fast forward to 2013. Now, my 5-year-old grandson can see the "late games" on his mom's smartphone when he gets up.
To paraphrase the actress Gloria Swanson, baseball is still big – it's the newspapers that got small.
And while I still love to read baseball boxes, we've made a tough decision this spring at the Daily Journal. With five local writers, the steady contributions of our weekly sports editors and a handful of trusted correspondents all vying to get their stories into the paper, we've cut back on our major league small print.
'Our' teams
We dedicate a half-page to the major leagues each day – still, a lot of valuable real estate – and emphasize getting in the box scores of the two teams with the greatest following around here, the St. Louis Cardinals and Atlanta Braves.
There are those of you who are unhappy with this approach. I've got the voice mails to prove it.
But our first priority remains our local coverage, and it's already made a big difference in the number of local stories we can publish each day.
Maybe there's a high school kid out there who reads us every morning and says, "I'd like to do that."
I sure hope so.
John L. Pitts (email@example.com) is sports editor of the Journal. His column appears each Wednesday.

SM TRU got 6 Ties yesterday afternoon. The SKN is 239316, the price is $29.99 and the UPC is 76930 32457.
Three on the shelf at TRU in Springfield, Va. But now only one remains.
I wish this thing had the Electronic FX - it would then be one of the coolest vehicles ever released.
The movie changed my life. It was much better than Cats. I'd go see it again and again and again.
The TRU in Lynchburg, VA got in a batch last night and had them on the shelf this morning.
Santa Monica TRU in SoCal had a shipment today because when I was there at 8:PM this evening there was one on the shelf. I (after eating dinner around 8:40 ) decided to go check if someone got it and it was gone. One piece of information, I had the clerk check the distribution wherehouse for our SoCal TRUs and there are approximately 850 still in the wherehouse and a shipment of another 2000 or so pending delivery to the wherehouse. Do the math guys and dolls- these things will probably be around for awhile.
Picked up the last one this afternoon. Kinda suprising to find one there. It's got to be the smallest TRU in the northern VA area.
Thanks for the SKN KiValleyTiger. I used it to phone several TRUs around the area, and after three days of trying found a store with NINE on hand. The woman even offered to hold one for me! when I went to the store, they had one on the shelf and the one on hold. I only bought one. I believe these will become very easy to find.
I was impressed at how accommodating the customer service people were at TRUs on the phone. Many offered to tell me when they expected the truck to arrive, one told me the number in the local warehouse waiting for distribution.
What a great way to cut some leg work and disappointment.
This is a great ship. I missed the vintage one, so I'm really glad this one was made.
Good luck,
Your welcome, deanpaul. I also noticed the service at TRU are changing, the are friendlier than before. I know that the just fired one of the manager at my nearby TRU just because there were a lot of complaints about the service.
Caught up with this baby today at the Henrietta TRU; six pieces. I can only assume that Greece got as many. Happy Huntin'!

Bernstein Research's Toni Sacconaghi was on CNBC's "Fast Money: Half Time Report" a short while ago, debating what to expect from Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) tonight, on its fiscal Q2 report, and beyond.
Sacconaghi, who has an Overweight rating on HP shares, and a $29 price target, sees a big miss on revenue, relative to Street consensus of $28 billion:
In the near term, they'll probably miss revenue pretty handily this quarter. While some of that is built into expectations, we could see the stock re-trench. Over the six- to nine-month investment horizon, I am fully on board with the bull thesis. This is not a good long term story, but it is the second cheapest stock in S&P 500, at 6 times earnings. You can make a lot of money in rental stocks. A breakup value is probably $30 per share, and normalized earnings are probably $4 per share [per annum]. Even if the top line is declining, earnings can grow modestly. If you have $4 per share growing modestly, I think that deserves a $7 or $8 target. I would be cautious buying around the print, but on a six- or nine-month horizon, we're still in middle innings of this.
Sacconaghi responded to claims by the show's Stephen Weiss that HP's R&D spending is much too low, at least as a percentage of revenue. Said Sacconaghi:
If we look at the numbers on R&D, this year they will spend $3.3 billion in R&D. The notion that the R&D has been gutted is just not correct. The parts of business that have been growing have just not been R&D-intensive. $3.3 billion is a really sizable amount of R&D. There are very few companies spending more than that. It's about 3% of sales. Remember that a little more than half company has no R&D. There's really a 6% R&D spend on the parts of the company that are R&D-intensive. What I would agree on is that here has not been the efficacy in R&D we would like to see. They came out with a new server paradigm, Project Moonshot, and it's way too soon to say if that will be successful. Despite spending large amounts of R&D, they are not developing the kinds of products we hoped they would.
HP shares are up 43c nets, or 2%, at $21.54.
Sacconaghi was also asked to comment on yesterday's appearance by Apple (AAPL) CEO Tim Cook before a Senate panel looking into tax policy and overseas cash.
Sacconaghi, who has an Overweight rating on Apple stock, and a $600 price target, was approving of Cook's performance:
It's really important to put this in context. Apple is being singled out uniquely on this issue of not paying tax and offshore tax. Apple is by no means unique, particularly among tech companies. The Senate findings were not unique. A ten year old could look at Apple's 10-K and see that their international tax rate has been 3% for last several years. Their behavior is not atypical. Tim did a good job of being very fact- based about the company's obeying laws, and about its having structured itself not to maximize profits but to ensure its survivability. He wasn't apologetic because he didn't have to be, this is the playbook for all tech companies today.
Apple shares are up $5.96, or 1.4%, at $445.62.

The climate crisis is the biggest story of this, or any, generation — so why the hell aren't you flooding the climate "zone," putting it on the front pages and leading newscasts with it every day? Or even once a week? Why aren't you looking constantly at how the implications of climate change and its impact pervade almost any topic — not just environment and energy stories?
And yet, I'm less worried about the news pages, where editors do seem to be slowly waking up, than about the opinion pages and magazines, the commentariat and wonkish mainstream blogs — the "thought leaders," the Very Serious People who define the conventional wisdom and the parameters of what passes for serious discussion. Because here, there's essentially no debate of any kind that reflects the scale and urgency of the crisis. Forget the pathetic and deeply cynical climate silence in the presidential debates — and forget CNN's Candy Crowley, who can't be bothered to select a question from "all you climate change people." Even on the left and center-left, climate is barely mentioned when the stakes of this election are discussed — and when the topic does come up, it's without any sense of urgency. Witness the recent endorsement issues of The Nation, the New Republic, and the New Yorker. It's as though many of the best journalistic minds of multiple generations quail at the thought of seriously addressing what a crisis of this magnitude implies about their long-held assumptions — the unquestioned primacy of endless economic growth, for example, or the notion that there can be economic justice without climate justice.
The same goes for these pages: why has the Phoenix covered the Occupy movement and not, until now, the climate movement?
At the end of the day, I think we agree, a journalist's ultimate responsibility is to the public. And yet, by that measure, you are failing. You are failing to treat the greatest crisis we've ever faced like the crisis that it is. Why?
Look, unlike most of your critics, I know you. You're not just names on a page or a screen to me: you're living, breathing human beings, with lives and families. I've shared the stresses and anxieties of journalism in this era. I know how hard you work, and how relatively little (most of) you are paid. I know how insecure your jobs are. And I know that your work — even your very best work — is most often thankless. Believe me. I know.
I also know that you take your responsibility as journalists, as public servants, seriously. Why is it, then, that you are so utterly failing on this all-important topic? I could be wrong, but I think I understand. I'm afraid it has to do with self-image and self-censorship.
Nothing is more important to me as a journalist than my independence. Yes, I'm still a journalist. And I'm as independent as I've ever been — maybe, if you can imagine this, even more so. Because leaving behind my mainstream journalism career has freed me to speak and write about climate and politics in ways that were virtually impossible inside the MSM bubble, where I had to worry about perceptions, and about keeping my job, and whether I'd be seen by my peers and superiors as an advocate. God forbid.

League Football Education event
The first year scholars from Wolves' Academy were at St George's Park in Burton last week to take part in a 'Create Your Legacy' event run by League Football Education.
League Football Education is the group responsible for overseeing the education of the 16 to 18-year-old apprentices at football league clubs across the country, and they staged the event in partnership with The Dame Kelly Holmes Legacy Trust to encourage Academy players to develop their skills and boost their future career prospects, whether that is to be in sport, education or in an entirely new profession.
Whilst all Academy hopefuls pursue the dream of a long-term professional career in the game, it remains a hugely competitive environment from which only a few go on to succeed.
Injury, competition for places and other factors all play a part in determining the length of football careers, with approximately 60 per cent of youth team players being lost to football by the time they are 18.
Even then half of the 40 per cent who win a full-time professional contract will not be playing at a professional level by the age of 21.
The event at St George's was therefore designed to highlight the importance of building on other skills outside of the game, with players and elite athletes able to invest in their futures by speaking to the 65 exhibitors representing employers, universities and training companies.
The players were also able to view the England senior squad, and the England U17 squad including Wolves Youth Team teammate Ben O'Hanlon training on adjacent pitches as they arrived for the event.
Former Aston Villa and England defender Ugo Ehiogu spent the afternoon mentoring young players,while double Olympic champion Dame Kelly Holmes and Bolton manager and former Wolves striker Dougie Freedman were also in attendance.
Ehiogu said: "It's nice for the lads to see the senior England boys training outside but in here it's more realistic and the statistics speak for themselves.
"When I finished after 20 years I didn't know how to put a CV together or what to do at an interview but the PFA helped me understand my strengths and weaknesses and I realised that I had plenty of transferable skills.
"Leadership, problem solving, communication and working as part of a team are all pretty common to footballers but the hardest thing about this day is making them understand they need to prepare for the future."
Wolves' Education and Welfare Officer Nick Loftus added: "To gain an Apprenticeship place at an Academy such as Wolves requires the young players to possess some outstanding skills and abilities, but this does not provide any guarantee of any real longevity in the game for the players beyond their current contracts with us. It is vital that they recognise their own personal qualities and that they can then identify the value that they may have in alternative careers.
"Attending the event at St Georges Park last week made the boys think about 'the bigger picture'. They have to take responsibility for their futures, and they need to know who can help them achieve their lifelong ambitions.
"There were many exhibitors from the sports industry, such as sports and exercise medicine, sports science, injury rehabilitation, strength and conditioning, the forces were represented, as well as a variety of Universities.
"The event helped our young players see that there are options if football does not work out, there are other things that they can do whilst playing professionally, or that they can do at the end of their careers."

To get this chip working with Arduino IDE, you will need an external 16MHz crystal or resonator, a 5V supply, and a serial connection.
The only bit that I'm having a time with, Larry, is when you said, "I compiled your electricEelWheel.pde sketch, it was 2,748 bytes. The 168 has 16 Kbytes and the 328 has 32 Kbytes".
Finally, Osgeld suggests the USBASP, while Larry recommends a Arduino UNO (could you point me to something that looks like you mean, there are a number of things that come up when I search for that). Do these two approaches accomplish the same thing? Does one have an advantage over the other?

All of my local Targets have reduced the figures to $6.99 now.
I thought about getting Paris Pursuit Snake Eyes as well but held off on it.

Anyone find the PP snake Eyes with grey timber variant ?
All the ones I've seen so far have the black timber in them !!
SE PP is the only fig i haven't seen.
Got the PP Snake Eyes today...its better than the regular Snake Eyes by leaps and bounds.

Yeah, if you're waffling on getting Snake-Eyes in the muscle-sclupted body suit, PP Snake-Eyes doesn't have that crap, and the trench coat is a new look for the character. I grabbed one and am pretty happy with it.
I grabbed Scarlett, but she's pretty meh. I keep thinking it looks like Baroness went redhead.
And I went through all the figures to find one acceptable unmasked Storm Shadow. It's still not perfect, but it was good enough. I am happy to get some 3 3/4" scale sais, and I may pick up another figure to donate them to Deadpool.
Member 104 of the SWC forums . . . but it's good to be back.

Looks like the larger vehicles (like the Cobra Hummer) are on sale at TRU this week. $5 off, might be time to get one.
If TRU does that sale you mentioned on figures, figgy, I think I'll pick up a Shipwreck there and take it back to TRU. I can always get a Paris Pursuit Snake Eyes. Or maybe some newer character like Helix or Monkeywrench might show up early.
I'd get Cover Girl since they didn't make her in classic style, but she's so far removed from the original and doesn't look like anyone else.
I just checked the picture of the Pit Commando. With that hat and basic sculpt, isn't he just screaming, "Make me into 'Nam Snake Eyes"?
That's my jacket!
i found me a PP SE today - yay. also picked up an ice viper
The TRU near me had about one foot of the front Transformers 2 display devoted to GIJoe. It looked like one case of small vehicles, one case of figures, a few PITs, and some random odds and ends (like Combat Heroes) were put there. When I asked, they said they hadn't put them out since they were "low priority." This despite some of them being in their ad today!
I have yet to see a WM that has any, either. This really does not bode well for Monkeywrench and the like.
That's my jacket!
Wave 3 suprises already coming in. I'm thinking Helix is a good base for an updated Zarana (Zandar gets the shaft again). The other thing is I'm glad we'll be able to get a Gen Hawk seperate from the PITT (and with a Resolute glider too boot), and the pleasant suprise is the PITT Commando (well more it's accessories).
Star Wars & GI Joe Customs
HAVES: HK-50 Head, Capt Typho & GI Joe fodder available still
Wants:L8-L9 Head, YVH-1 Complete (as possible),R7-T1 Complete (as possible),R7-Z0 Complete (as possible)
Is the Elite Viper short packed? The reason I ask is I have yet to see one anywhere, and the figures are very plentiful (except that one) in my local stores.

Enjoy this fluffy angel food cake - a traditional dessert.
*Egg whites will have better volume when beaten at room temperature in a bowl that is clean and dry.
Divide batter evenly among 30 ungreased regular-size muffin cups (or line muffin cups with paper baking cups if desired). Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until cracks in cupcakes feel dry and tops spring back when touched lightly. Remove from pan to a cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
Immediately turn pan upside down onto a heatproof funnel or bottle. Let cake hang about 2 hours or until completely cool before removing from pan or it will collapse.

The Nash Buckingham Rod and Gun Club is a rare opportunity to own a very significant piece of duck hunting history, Beaverdam Lake. Nash Buckingham, the Hemingway of the hunting world, hunted this property all his life and wrote many famous stories of his hunts. His father was a founding member of Beaver Dam Ducking Club in 1883 which was the oldest duck hunting club in the US. Ducks have visited Beaver Dam Lake for centuries on their migration south. The cypress lined oxbow cutoff of the Mississippi River has become a place of legend. The majority of Beaverdam lake is owned by one family so there may never be another chance to buy into a club with such a long history of duck hunting. I want to carry out the tradition of the old Beaverdam Ducking Club and Nash Buckingham by establishing the Nash Buckingham Rod and Gun Club with the purchase of a 157-acre portion of Beaverdam Lake.
My family has many ties to Beaverdam and Nash Buckingham that make me very passionate about carrying out and preserving these traditions. My grandfather used to live down the street from Buckingham in Memphis and would lend his hunting dogs to him. I grew up duck hunting at Beaverdam since my father and godfather were members of the famed Beaverdam and Duck Club. I had my very 1st duck hunt there! Nash Buckingham lived and was buried in Memphis. My family has also lived in Memphis for seven generations so I am very devoted to preserving the history of the Memphis area. I feel very privileged to be able to organize this club that will insure that we club members will be able to hunt in this magical place the rest of our lives. We will also be able to transmit this legacy to our sons and daughters. With such a unique opportunity, I plan to put together a select group of fine gentlemen and sportsmen with a common passion of preserving a very old tradition.
Sound like an awesome place and treasure!? Well, wait to you hear the price! I am doing this for no monetary profit and only to preserve a great place to hunt for generations to come. There will be a total of 16 members each holding an undivided 1/16th equity interest in this 157 acre section of Beaverdam Lake. The initial investment is $25,000 per member plus an annual fee of $5,000 per member to cover maintenance, improvements and debt service.
Through a corporate structure the members will govern the management and expenditures of the Nash Buckingham Rod and Gun Club.
Beaverdam Lake has been a fantastic hunting spot for over 120 years and we can keep it that way. Like minded connoisseurs of history and hunting will enjoy the Nash Buckingham Rod and Gun Club. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity and I look forward to hunting with you this upcoming season. Please contact me and I'll be glad to ask any questions that you may have.

Jules Lines is perhaps the greatest free-soloist you've never heard of. Hailing from Scotland, his penchant for soloing hard rock-climbs is often discussed in hushed tones among inner U.K. climbing circles. This summer, Lines added a direct finish to fellow Scotsman Dave Macleod's Hold Fast, a bold 5.13a trad route in Glen Nevis. Lines' new finish bumped the grade to 5.13c, and as for the protection ... Lines decided to eschew the ropes all together and rely on his skills as a free soloist. On one attempt, however, Lines didn't quite stick the sequence, but he did stick the landing!

Reverberating Stripe by Paul Smith Pillow -Closeout
This product is no longer available.
Using a holistic approach to design, Maharam creates innovative textiles through the exploration of pattern, material, and technique. A fourth-generation family business founded in 1902, Maharam has evolved into a leading provider of design-driven textiles for commercial and residential interiors. The brand is recognized for its rigorous and holistic commitment to design and embraces a diverse range of disciplines, from product, graphic, and digital design to art and architecture. Maharam frequently collaborates with industry designers and visionaries, including Charles and Ray Eames, Gio Ponti, Alexander Girard, and more recently, Paul Smith. Maharam's textiles are included in the permanent collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Stedelijk Museum, among others.
Born on 5 July 1946 in Nottinghamshire, England. Paul Smith is an established designer whose menswear collections have gained him a solid reputation in the fashion industry and earned him world-wide commercial success.
After leaving school at the age of fifteen with no career plans, Smith was thrust into a job at a local clothing warehouse by his father. Smith had little interest in his new position, and dreamed of becoming a racing cyclist. Smith's original ambitions were put to an end following a cycling accident at the age of 17. Following his accident, Smith trained as a tailor and opened up his first boutique in Nottingham.
Since showing his first menswear collection in Paris 1976, Smith has established 12 different collections under the Paul Smith label and opened boutiques throughout England, Europe, Asia, the Middle East and the United States.
Known for his colorful combinations, Smith is famous for his use of multi-stripes, which appear on items designed for both men and women.
After almost three decades as an icon in the fashion industry, Smith was knighted in 2000. In 2003 Smith partnered with the textile manufacturer, Maharam, to create an upholstery textile inspired by classic pinstripe suiting and love for multi-stripes. Smith continues to play an active role in his company, serving as both designer and chairman.

So... I arrived in Sydney yesterday and am staying with a friend.
Today, I ventured to the University of New South Wales to partake in the first day of http://Linux.conf.au/ which you can read about for yourself.
Not being a Sydney-sider myself (rather from Newcastle, ~150km north) the bus situation catches me off guard. Half-following the instructions from the friendly www.131500.com.au I jumped off the bus at Railway Square. Only half-following the instructions wasn't a good idea, because I had no idea where to go next, and the not-bad-people around the area had no idea where I was to go either. They will die for it, I tell you.
Anyway - I eventually give up trying to find where to catch the bus, and
ask for directions to central station - a short walk away. I get down there, then totally confused ask again. And again. Clueless fscks who don't know how to get to where I want to go. At that time the same lady who pointed me to Central station walks by and helps me find the bus once again. How nice of her.
While walking we pass a few security guards, police cars, and a police rescue van. Someone must have jumped on the tracks again - or at least someone reported that someone jumped on the tracks. Incidentally, Australia apparently has one of (if not the) highest male youth suicide rate in the world.
So - on with the day. I get on the bus, arrive at the UNSW, and talk to a helpful oriental chap. We get along with a bit of english & sign language, and I'm on my way to the theaters where the conference is being held.
Signins were at 8am. First tutorials were at 9am. Or so they said. Lucky I arrived at 8:50am, otherwise I probably would've been alone there. I decided to skip the first tutorials, and instead mingle with strangers and non-strangers.
I met a number of people I knew from IRC without knowing who they are. Rik van Riel then assisted in pointing out a few more people. I growled at Raster (as everyone should) but didn't make a point of introducing myself to Alan Cox, despite meeting him on IRC a few times. The Linuxcare crowd arrived from Canberra at about 4:30pm - and after some conversation and thought, I came to the opinion that Rusty's role is overstated, in comparison to others at LinuxCare canberra. [ed. note: It happens that
I, having a somewhat shy front in real life, let others dominate conversations. Often listening in on other people's, and only speaking for clarification or if I have something I think will be of genuine interest to the people. I know there's nothing worse than being told what one already knows, and feeling like one has to act interested in it. The fly on the wall approach works well often. For the most part, I understood all topics of conversation, or inferred meaning easilly. Although listening to Alan Cox, Matthew Wilcox, Colin McCormack and others chat about the intricasies of kernels in a noisy room left me nodding dumbly for a little.
Colin's a friend, who gave a tutorial in the morning on his pet project (actually, it has a number of very competent developers now) Coldstore (http://coldstore.sourceforge.net/), which is a gigabyte scale persistant object system. Very interesting - read up on it yourself. I saw someone with a dictaphone, so expect to see an mp3 of his talk soon. [ed. note: An ogg. And they should be available at http://www.linux.conf.au/, and then at http://www.linux.org.au/ if/when they revoke the domain.]
I attended Colin's tutorial at 11:30, which to my surprise had a packed theater. Although judging from the limited laughing at certain clued-in jokes, there were only a dozen or so people in the room who had an idea of what he was talking about at times.
I lounged about for another 2 hours during the next tutorial, before discovering the student lounge downstairs where people had setup their laptops with network connections. Poor me with my lack of laptop was stranded without net-access. I could have borrowed one for a few if I really needed to, but I decided I could control my urges. Soon after everyone else discovered the student lounge, and it turned into a sauna. People talked for a while, and there was a generally accepted idea that we'd be heading to a pub somewhere for some drinks and pub-food. After about an hour, nothing eventuated, so Colin and I took off. With some instruction from Andrew Morton, we headed in exactly the opposite direction of the pub intended. After discovering our err, we caught a taxi to meet up with others at the Royal. Whether they had been there and moved, or if we had been misled, I don't know. We downed a beer and caught a taxi to the Coogee Bay Hotel, where most of the speakers were staying. We expected to find at least a few people there. Noone. We resigned to eat there (they have a grill-your-own setup) and grabbed our food. Heading to the table I spotted a GNU shirt sticking its head in briefly, and heading out again. I chased and invited it to sit down. On closer inspection of the shirt, it had a name-tag on it, reading "Raph Levien". On even closer inspection, I noticed it had Raph Levien inside the shirt. I introduced myself and Colin.
To try and keep this email short - he's a good bloke. Very interesting & easy to talk to. After food, several Guinesses, and much conversation, Raph bid us goodnight, and Colin and I decided to take a taxi back to central station. On the way to the cab, we negotiated to fit 3 attractive pommy girls in the back seat with me and we'd drop them at the top of the hill.. but with the taxi driver out of change, We had to fetch some first. Turns out they're from Newcastle.uk, (as mentioned before, I'm from Newcastle.au) - practically neighbours. Another friend of theirs turned up however, and 6 passengers in a 4 passenger taxi wasn't going to happen easily, so I let them take this taxi and hailed a new one. A point to note is that no taxi drivers in Sydney speak more than 300 or so English words. None of them whatsoever, I'm sure.
Anyway - the night ended, and I caught a bus back to my friend's place and started up putty (he has a Linux box, but in his bedroom) to my home machine, inhaling deeply to satisfy my hunger.
If I'm able, I'll post tomorrow aswell.
Good day to you all from drizzly Sydney, Australia, everybody.
Today's post: I arrived back at my Newcastle-ish home around 7:30pm today, Sunday the 21st. The last two days were fairly interesting, but less so than the first couple. IRC++ project has noble goals, and interesting ideas. It sounds very much like the corridors project I hear lilo talking about often. It is in perl just now, for prototype purposes. I must look at both and compare.
Rusty's talk was amusing as always. He actually had 3 scheduled for the one time. The jokes going around were that they were experimenting with human cloning (but with 3 Rusty's, would that mean 3 new firewall subsystems for each stable kernel?) and time-slicing him. He eventually put all three into the one talk, and had the theatre packed. The talk and slides [for all talks] should be available on the linux.conf.au website soon in Ogg format.
I finally found out what a TIVO is, and was impressed. Although advertising blocking/non-recording would be a great addition. The politics involved in it bites, though. Actually, politics bites all around - but seems unavoidable.
I noticed to an extent the god-ifying of certain figures in the community - Alan, Rusty, Raster, etc. They are the people that attract crowds, whether in talks or just standing around. I think I introduced myself (as my nick) to most people who I know online that were at the conference - which is good. It allows both parties to put a face to the nicks, and in some cases helps me to understand where they're coming from when online.
Overall, I met a few new people at the conference. I met in-person a few people, who I've previously known only online, at the conference. I listened to many interesting talks and conversations. I reminded myself that I need to work on extroverting myself, aswell as to stop relying completely on the grepping of logs or google to find things every time (by using my memory). [ed. note: Also read Skud's diary for a more critical overview of the conference. I doubt everyone agrees with her Sydney rant, but she summed up the conference pretty well.]

Now, there are two points in the screen. You can imagine a invisible line connecting the two points, and the dot traverses on this imaginary line from its source coordinates to the target coordinates.
What math should I use to move the dot along the line in a more linear way?
I have here a crude path movement for the dot, now basked in your glorifying eyes:
public void tick(MouseInputHandler input) { target = input.mousePosition; if (target == null) return; int direction = 0; if (position.x > target.x) direction = -1; else direction = 1; if (position.x == target.x) direction = 0; position.x += direction; if (position.y > target.y) direction = -1; else direction = 1; if (position.y == target.y) direction = 0; position.y += direction; }
If possible, where can I improve? And where can I learn more about path movement algorithms? Thanks in advance.

Deeplinks Blog posts about No Downtime for Free Speech
We've seen some absurd trademark threats in recent years, but this one sets the bar at a new low: The Village Voice is suing Yelp for trademark infringement based on Yelp's creation of various "Best of" lists. Yes, that's correct, the publisher behind the paper (as well as several other weeklies around the U.S.) has managed to register trademarks in the term "Best of " in connection with several cities, including San Francisco, Miami, St. Louis and Phoenix. And it now claims that Yelp's use of those terms infringes those trademarks and deceives consumers.
Crossposted from Techpresident
We are living in an era where transparency — be it from government, corporations, or individuals — has come to be expected. As such, social media platforms have come under scrutiny in recent years for their policies around content moderation, but perhaps none have received as much criticism as Facebook.
After a year-long seizure and six more months of secrecy, the court records were finally released concerning the mysterious government takedown of Dajaz1.com – a popular blog dedicated to hip hop music and culture. The records confirm that one of the key reasons the blog remained censored for so long is that the government obtained three secret extensions of time by claiming that it was waiting for "rights holders" and later, the Recording Industry Association of America, to evaluate a "sampling of allegedly infringing content" obtained from the website and respond to other "outstanding questions."
The Internet can breathe a sigh of relief today. In the latest twist in the long-running Viacom v. YouTube litigation, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals revived the entertainment giant's suit against Google – but simultaneously eviscerated most of the legal theories on which the lawsuit was based.
Here's the quick and dirty: Back in 2010, a district court threw out Viacom's suit against YouTube, finding that the safe harbors outlined in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act protected YouTube from all copyright liability. Viacom appealed, based on unprecedented legal theories that, if adopted, would have rendered the DMCA safe harbors a dead letter.
If there were ever a lawsuit that invited sanctions against the people who filed it, this one is it: a case against two database developers by a company that claims a copyright on the time of day.

Ambassadors of Slovakia, Poland to discuss current status of Central Europe, March 7
Posted March 1, 2002; 06:03 p.m.
The ambassadors of Slovakia and Poland to the United States will present a joint lecture titled "Rejoining the West: Central Europe 10 Years After the Revolutions" at 4:30 p.m. Thursday, March 7, in Bowl 1, Robertson Hall.
Martin Bútora, a sociologist, author and senior civil servant, currently serves as the ambassador of Slovakia to the United States. He co-founded the Public Against Violence movement in 1989, one of the leading Slovak movements in the Velvet Revolution against communism. From 1990 to 1992, he served as the adviser to President Vaclav Havel for human rights issues, and as the director of the Section for Human Rights in the Office of the President of the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic.
Bútora recently was a member of the social sciences faculty at Charles University in Prague and at Trnava University in Slovakia. Previously, he was an executive education fellow at the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, a senior associate member at St. Anthony's College, Oxford University, and a German Marshall Fund Fellow.
Przemyslaw Grudzinski has been ambassador of Poland to the United States since September 2000, previously serving as undersecretary of state in the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He also is currently the vice minister of foreign affairs in the Polish government. Prior to this appointment, he was a professor at the George Marshall European Center for Security Studies in Poland.
A lifelong educator and political activist, Grudzinski was a professor of history at the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw from 1976 to 1996. In the 1980s, he became involved in independent publishing activities as a member of the Solidarity Movement, which contributed to the fall of Poland's communist government and hastened the breakup of the Warsaw Pact. He became an adviser to the deputy minister of national defense in 1990 and the director of the Bureau of Research for the Polish Parliament in 1991 before assuming the position of deputy minister of national defense in 1992.
The lecture is sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson School .
