Ilan: +1 on the "move a dumb TTY interface to a dumb GUI interface and it's still a dumb interface" sentiment. As for telling everyone to fuck off while going off on your own, it's tough. I say that having some experience doing so :)
The toughest part about it isn't building the house, it's finding a place to live while you're growing the trees. (uh, metaphorically speaking :) ). What I mean by that is this: while we're off in the hills, writing the code which will be the basis of truly great systems, life goes on. Meaning bills demand payment, code begs writing, and so on. All of that ultimately means that things need doing, and people like us are extremely likely to want to do those things on the machine. In fact, to do them otherwise would be silly, and probably piss us off.
The catch, of course, is that the whole reason we're off in the hills, growing trees for our new house, is that we don't like the accomodations we have. Not only that, but we can't find a supplier of quality timber products that meet our aesthetic, structural, and environmental impact standards. Meaning that we generally don't like the software that's out there, and don't even like the tools we'd have to use to build "better" software :)
So we can choose amongst these options (in no particular order):
- Do things manually (like, paper and pencil manual) (Incidentally, this is what Ted Nelson does (did?) for a long while.)
- Do things manually (like, electronic manual) in hopes of eventually harvesting the data.
- Do things with the software we don't like, both to "get it done faster" (though not as fast as it would be with our tools), and in hopes of eventually harvesting the data).
- Take the time to write "just enough" of the software we need to do it "close enough" to the way we would do it once the trees had grown to maturity.
- Convince someone else to do things for us in whichever way suits them (ie: delegate).
- Convince someone else to do things for us in whichever way suits our ultimate needs (ie: delegate but with guidelines).
Case in point: I've been working on selfish off and on since about 1997. Before the insights that lead me to the particular fusion of ideas in that, from about 1993 on, I was working on something called ev, which was basically just a semantic network (though I didn't know it at the outset). All of the pies into which I dip my fingers are ultimately connected to a unified vision of information being both everywhere and in one place (conceptually speaking). That is, I'm tired of entering data many times :) I want everything I touch to be a part of a seamless, holistic system.
My stubborn insistence on this vision has lead me to a place where I'm about two and a half years behind on basic financial paperwork (both for the tax man and for "proper" management of my business). Needless to say, that's a very bad place to be. So, with enough pressure from people around me, I finally sat down and forced myself to take a hard look at the problem space, and figure out the shortest path to my immediate goal (note: not to fulfillment of my vision, but to the intermediary goal of avoiding imprisonment).
Armed with a ruthless disregard for the purity of my vision, I decided to use GnuCash. It has a "good enough" balance of strengths and weaknesses (note: according to my vision and the standards that vision defines). Since it's GPL'ed, I know that I'll be able to harvest my data one way or another, if I even care about that when the time comes.
And so, here I am, entering reams of data from poorly managed paper files, trying to make sense of it all, and wondering exactly where I'm going to come out. Ultimately, though, I know that, no matter how painful it is, this process is getting me closer to the goal. Persevere is my mantra. Every step I take toward getting things in order is ten steps I'll have free tomorrow to put towards my real work.
I just keep reminding myself that the really great thing about the house I'm building is that it can house as many people as want to live there.

Washington Schools looking to save money
Posted By admin On @ 4:25 am In Today's Local News | Comments Disabled
The Washington School District is looking to trim its budget in the upcoming fiscal year. Superintendent Dave Sextro says they have been able to make some cut backs by offering early retirement, and then leaving some of those positions vacant. Sextro says they make every effort to make cuts that won't directly affect students. Spending reductions, and the budget for next year are just a few of the items on the agenda for tomorrows school board meeting.

Through photography that focuses on public policy, students in Princeton's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs are able to present new dimensions to social issues around the world. Recently, three students, undergraduates Wesley (Wes) Morgan and Niklas Peters, and graduate student Elie Teichman, displayed their photography from three disparate locations in the Bernstein Gallery Annex of the Wilson School's Robertson Hall. That work is now online and includes this photo of an officer in the security agency in Afghanistan, taken by Morgan. More student work currently is on display in the gallery.

Web Stories
Students show that a picture can be worth a thousand (policy) words
Posted March 14, 2011; 12:00 p.m.
Imagine being one of the first Princeton students and one of a small number of Americans to not only visit Cuba, but actually study there for a semester.
Or envision hunkering down in the trenches with the military serving on the front lines in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Or picture working in Mongolia with government officials to reduce poverty and promote growth.
Add a passion for photography into this mix and put a camera in a student's hand, and the result can be images that look at international policy issues through a different lens.
During a semester of study in Cuba, senior Niklas Peters said he had his "camera in tow trying to capture images to tell the stories" of the people he encountered. He also was struck by the images and artwork all around him that illuminated the culture and history of Cuba, such as the landmark in Santiago that depicts the Cuban hero Antonio Maceo. (Photo by Niklas Peters)
Providing such a space to reveal new dimensions of subjects learned in the classroom is the idea behind the Bernstein Gallery Annex in Robertson Hall, home of the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton. In this gallery, students can exhibit their photography and tell public policy stories through the use of visuals and short captions.
"There are many ways to examine, to educate and to impact public policy issues," said Christina Paxson, dean of the Wilson School. "With that age-old saying that 'a picture is worth a thousand words,' Woodrow Wilson School students are helping to frame public policy discussions through a different medium than the typical research paper. We are proud to offer them this space for their policy-related photography."
Recently, three students -- seniors Wesley (Wes) Morgan and Niklas Peters, and graduate student Elie Teichman -- used the gallery to display their photography taken in three disparate locations across the globe. All of the work currently may be viewed online.

War zones in Iraq and Afghanistan
Morgan's recent exhibit, "Scenes From Downrange," is a selection of images from Iraq and Afghanistan. Morgan, a Wilson School major, has had an interest in the military since his youth. As a freshman he interviewed U.S. Army Gen. David Petraeus, a Princeton alumnus and commander of the U.S. Central Command, for the student newspaper The Daily Princetonian, which led to an opportunity to work in Iraq. While there, Morgan met The New York Times reporter Michael Gordon, who invited him to do research on a book Gordon is writing about Iraq.
Morgan's research during his two visits to Iraq in 2007-08 and two visits to Afghanistan in 2009-10 entailed being embedded with 15 American and British infantry, cavalry and Special Forces battalions. While there, he interviewed commanders and soldiers, collecting an oral history of their deployments and then sending the narratives back to Gordon.

While casually snapping pictures during his first few visits -- "photos were a side thing," he said -- Morgan became more serious about photography and its impact after meeting João Silva, a photographer for The New York Times.
"The first time I decided to make a point of the photography was in 2008," Morgan said. "I would stay at the Baghdad bureau of The New York Times, and in between embeds with the military I met Silva, who inspired me to take more pictures and be more serious about my photography."
Morgan said that the images he selected for the gallery "provide a glimpse into the lives of the soldiers, airmen and Marines who hosted me at their outposts and on other patrols over the past three years."
His photographs present a spectrum of images -- from the realities of battlefield combat with troops on patrol walking single file behind a minesweeper in mine-infested neighborhoods, to a damaged Humvee on display outside an Iraqi Army outpost, to scenes from above the battlefield as he flies in helicopters as part of both assault and rescue missions.

Morgan also captures the more intimate reality of war, such as images of a group of children warily watching armed soldiers on patrol in their village, a local Afghan soldier posing with a bright-eyed child in Helmand province, and Iraqi women casually walking down a war-torn village road alongside an armed and camouflaged military vehicle.
Along with these photos, Morgan's visits to Iraq and Afghanistan are leading to other creative and intellectual endeavors. His experiences also are informing his senior thesis, which focuses on counterinsurgency and counterterrorism in the Pech River Valley in Eastern Afghanistan, where many of his photos were taken.
In his explorations of Havana, Peters came across a flower vendor and documented just one of the many ways ordinary Cubans try to make ends meet. (Photo by Niklas Peters)
Study abroad in Cuba
The photographic exhibit "La Lucha Cubana: Socialism in the 21st Century" that hung in the Bernstein annex early this winter was created by Wilson School major Niklas Peters. Peters was one of nine students in the school's first study abroad program in Cuba at the University of Havana during the 2010 spring semester. Students explored the island's demography, arts and culture, with the country's politics serving as a backdrop to their educational and personal encounters. They studied alongside Cuban students and conducted research on issues regarding the future development of the Cuban population.

"The great thing about this program is that it allowed me to actually be in the country, on the ground, speaking to people, seeing how they live, with my camera in tow trying to capture images to tell their stories," Peters said.
"Cubans are very proud of their diversity, their ongoing revolution and especially their will to overcome hardship. You cannot go one day in Cuba without hearing about the constant lucha (struggle) that every Cuban faces," he added. "Although the concept of la lucha has changed over time to suit various political or social needs, it is still one of the most pervasive motifs in Cuban culture."
Peters' photographs capture the essence of the lives of ordinary Cubans and contrasts the extreme poverty that still exists in the country with the Cuban government's desire to move ahead with modernizations to attract more businesses and tourists.
Cuba's buses captured the imagination of Peters, who noted that "the public transit network in Cuba is far beyond its intended capacity." He explained, "Because most Cubans are not allowed to own cars, they spend much of their time waiting for a bus to get from place to place, with no guarantee that the bus will arrive within a reasonable amount of time, if at all." (Photo by Niklas Peters)
His image subjects include painted propaganda murals with slogans dating back to the 1960s and the anniversary parade through Havana's streets in reaction to the Bay of Pigs Invasion. These are contrasted with reminders of everyday Cuban life, with pictures of a modern foreign tourist hotel towering over the crumbling buildings inhabited by Cubans; antiquated communications and transit options; and an abandoned Hershey Chocolate Corp. building outside of Havana, taken over during the revolution in 1959.
Peters also shows signs of promise and enthusiasm in the country, such as restoration efforts to beautify key areas of old Havana, the Cubans' love of baseball, and cultural performances by ordinary Cubans for the increasing number of tourists.
"My experiences and interactions in Cuba give me hope that Cubans can surmount the challenge of forging a new comprehensive '21st-century socialism' that faces economic realities while not abandoning their admirable values," Peters said.
In his photographic study titled "Land Use Reform in Nomadic Mongolia," Elie Teichman captured scenes that show how the land is being used, such as for agriculture and herding, as well as for habitat, as shown by this image of a traditional yurt. (Photo by Elie Teichman)
Summer internship in Mongolia
Considering himself an amateur and not as passionate about photography as Morgan and Peters, Elie Teichman, a master in public affairs candidate, used a basic point-and-shoot camera as he sought to capture images to "remember special people and experiences" while working with the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) to fulfill his summer internship degree requirement in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. During his almost 13 weeks there, from June-August 2010, he created a series of visuals with the title "Land Use Reform in Nomadic Mongolia," which hung in the gallery annex through mid February.

"Overgrazing and private land leasing are key issues facing the Mongolian people, and this internship provided a special opportunity to both contribute to a crucial project while also learning more about the culture and history of this unique people," Teichman said.
Teichman's photographs help tell the story of efforts under way in Mongolia's predominantly agricultural and herding economy, where animals outnumber people by a ratio of 10 to 1, to transition from the overgrazing of land to managing land resources in a more sustainable and productive manner. Teichman uses his lens to highlight many of the challenges facing the herding population of Mongolia as they adapt to the need to increase production for expanding markets in growing urban areas, while also ensuring that their lands remain fruitful for decades to come.
His images and the narrative he shares have caught the attention of the MCC, which links to Teichman's photographs from its own website, using the collection as an example of how to tell the story about their own projects.
"Elie's photos highlight the important work that interns can contribute to the MCC by calling attention to the agency's efforts to reduce poverty through economic growth," said Robert Reid, the resident country director for MCC Mongolia.

Teichman said his work in Mongolia has reinforced his interest in international development, and he hopes to work for the MCC after he completes his degree.
Further exhibits are planned for this academic year, enabling more students to present images they have captured up-close, and bringing a valuable new dimension to how policy issues are viewed and debated.
"The images captured by these students portray an ever-changing international scene and the policy issues confronting the leaders of both today and tomorrow," said Paxson. "It is my hope that these exhibits will encourage more students to share their visual images with the Princeton community."

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 2:11 PM GMT on May 04, 2010
The death toll from last weekend's record flooding in Tennessee, Kentucky, and Mississippi has risen to 24, making it the deadliest non-tropical storm or hurricane flood disaster in the U.S. since the October 1998 Central Texas floods that killed 31 when a cold front stalled over Texas. As flood waters recede today, the toll from last weekend's floods is expected to grow higher. Particularly hard-hit was the Nashville, Tennessee area, where ten fatalities were reported. The city had its heaviest 1-day and 2-day rainfall amounts in its history over the weekend. A remarkable 7.25" of rain fell on the city Sunday, breaking the record for most rain in a single day (6.60", set September 13, 1979.) Nashville's third greatest day of rainfall on record occurred Saturday, when 6.32" fell. Nashville also eclipsed its greatest 6-hour and 12-hour rainfall events on record, with 5.57" and 7.20", respectively, falling on Sunday. And, only two days into the month, the weekend rains made it the rainiest May in Nashville's history.
Rainfall records were smashed all across Tennessee, Kentucky, and northern Mississippi over the weekend, with amounts as high as 17.73" recorded at Camden, TN, and 17.02" at Brownsville, TN. According to Chris Burt, the author of the excellent book Extreme Weather, the 13.30" that fell on Camden in 24 hours just missed eclipsing the state's all-time 24-hour precipitation record, the 13.60" inches that fell on Milan on September 13, 1982. Jackson, Tennessee had its rainiest day in its 63-year weather history on Sunday, 7.93". Bowling Green Kentucky had its heaviest 2-day precipitation event on record, 9.67". Records in Bowling Green go back to 1870.
Figure 1. Satellite-estimated precipitable water at 23 UTC (7 pm EDT) Sunday, May 2, 2010. Precipitable water is a measure of how much rain would be produced if all the water vapor and cloud moisture through the depth of the atmosphere were to fall as rain. Values above 50 mm (about 2 inches) are frequently associated with flooding. Sunday's precipitable water image showed a tropical disturbance crossed Mexico into the Gulf of Mexico, dragging a plume of very moist air northwards over the Southeast U.S. Image credit: University of Wisconsin GOES Satellite Blog.
Figure 2. Flood forecast for the Cumberland River in Nashville, Tennessee. Image credit: NOAA.
The record rains were accompanied by a surge of very warm air that set record high temperature marks at 21 major airports across the Eastern U.S. on Saturday. This is not surprising, since more moisture can evaporate into warmer air, making record-setting rainfall events more likely when record high temperatures are present. Accompanying this warm air was moisture from a tropical disturbance that crossed over Mexico from the tropical East Pacific over the weekend (Figure 1.)
The record rains sent the Cumberland River in downtown Nashville surging to 51.86' this morning, 12' over flood height, and the highest level the river has reached since a flood control project was completed in the early 1960s. The previous post-flood control project record level was 47.6', set on March 15, 1975 (the river hit 56.2' in 1929, before the flood control project was built.) The river has now crested (Figure 2) and is expected to recede below flood stage by Wednesday morning. There are no further rains in the forecast this week for Tennessee. At least four rivers in Tennessee reached their greatest flood heights on record this week. Most remarkable was the Duck River at Centreville, which crested at 47', a full 25 feet above flood stage, and ten feet higher than the previous record crest, achieved in 1948 (to check out the flood heights, use our wundermap for Nashville with the "USGS River" layer turned on.)
Funding issues to take 17 Tennessee streamgages offline
According to the USGS web site, seventeen Tennessee streamflow gages with records going back up to 85 years will stop collecting data on July 1 because of budget cuts. With up to eighteen people in Tennessee dying from flooding this weekend, now hardly seems to be the time to be skimping on monitoring river flow levels by taking 17 of Tennessee's 94 streamflow gages out of service. These gages are critical for proper issuance of flood warnings to people in harm's way. Furthermore, Tennessee and most of the northern 2/3 of the U.S. can expect a much higher incidence of record flooding in coming decades. This will be driven by two factors: increased urban development causing faster run-off, and an increase in very heavy precipitation events due to global warming. Both factors have already contributed to significant increases in flooding events in recent decades over much of the U.S. The USGS web site advertises that users who can contribute funding for the non-Federal share of costs to continue operation of these streamgages should contact Shannon Williams of the USGS Tennessee Water Science Center at 615-837-4755 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Tennessee is not the only state with streamgages at risk of closing down; fully 276 gages in 37 states have been shut down or will be shut down later this year. If you have questions about specific streamgages, click on the state of concern on the USGS web page of threatened stream gages.
Oil spill update
The oil slick from the April 20 explosion and blowout of the offshore oil rig Deepwater Horizon has retreated from the coast, thanks to a slackening of the persistent onshore winds that have affected the northern Gulf of Mexico over the past week. According to the latest NWS marine forecast, winds will be light and variable through Wednesday, resulting in little transport of the oil slick. Winds will then resume a weak onshore flow at 5 - 10 knots, Thursday through Friday, then reverse to blow offshore at 5 - 10 knots over the weekend. The net result of this wind pattern will be little transport of the oil slick. The only areas at risk of landfalling oil over the next five days will be the mouth of the Mississippi River in Louisiana, and the Chandeleur Islands. The latest forecast of Gulf currents from the NOAA HYCOM model (see also this alternative view of the HYCOM ocean current forecast) show weak ocean currents affecting the region during the remainder of the week. These currents will not be strong enough to push any oil southwards into the Loop Current over the next five days, so the Keys and South Florida are safe from oil for now. I'll have a post on the long-range prospects for oil to enter the Loop Current later this week, and a discussion of how a hurricane might affect and be affected by the oil spill.

I found 2 Vader Evolutions and wave 1, all 4 of the Mpire at the Wilkes-Barre, PA Walmart. It's a good find, but only 1 case of each was put out and this was this afternoon. I stopped there about an hour ago and ALL items were gone.Originally Posted by kidhuman
Does anyone in retail realize that the demand for SW hasn't just vanished?
The demand is out there, its just alot of stores right now are getting ready for Christmas resets in toys, so alot of stock is being held back until then

#24 - Gone but not forgotten
Guess what I found in ALASKA?? An unleashed clone trooper at a Fred Meyer... I was shocked- I had NEVER seen it at retail before, then at wal mart I found an unleashed IG-88(minus Aurra and stormie )- again I had NEVER any of this wave at all. Also got a 12 inch Shaak and saw all of the others.. But it is really weird- its like April was frozen in time up there. You could find every thing 1-20 up there no trouble. I also saw POTC for gods sake.. like Sly Moor, yura and pablo.
Before Alaska I did find mPire but skiped those. After ROTS figs are done im basically gonna stop collecting- its a pain in the @ss trying to track down all this stuff- and still not being able to find it. Come the Saga wave im going to buy what and only what I want- no more completist ideas. Besides, it looks like were going to be getting more wonderfull repacks!!!
Hasblow: You blew it.
hurray for birthdays!
I Picked Up At Meijers Over The Weekend 5 Bacara's And They Had A Lot More.that Was In Jenison Meijers Lots Of R2 And A Lot Of Crispy Ani's Left.other Than That Not Much. Did See A 500th Vader At Kb In Grandvilles Mall.all Suburbs Of Grand Rapids Mich.
I thought I hit the jackpot, and then reality hit me in the face!
I went to Target on my lunch last Friday. An employee was restocking the shelves. He had about 10 boxes of 3 3/4" figs!!!!! So, naturally, I thought I was a lucky guy. Yeah right! What was I thinking??? To think that I actually had faith in the distribution of Hasbro merchandice.
ALL of the figures that were in the boxes were #33 through #44. I just don't get it. How can it be that NONE of the figures were newer figures? None of the Ani wave, none of the variants, none of the Tarkin Wave, nothing newer. There were no evolutions or battlepacks boxes either.
I asked the employee if anyone had picked up any of the figures before I got there (because I couldn't understand how none of the figures were new), and he said that no one had been in the Star Wars aisle since he started to unpack the figures... that I was the first one. So I'm stunned that the store would get a ton of figures that have already been out everywhere, and have already established themselves as peg warmers.
Now here's the kicker... since the store now has over 100 figures that are old and peg warmers, they will most likely NOT get any new stock in for a while... or at least until they sell all of the figures that never sold to begin with!
I give up too.
Same thing here in Texas. I have only found up to figure 44. No sign of Tarkin wave, Bacara wave, green, red, or blue clone packs, or 500th vader. Yes, this sucks for me! I guess I will continue to wait it out. Will I EVER find anything?
One way to out think people is to make them think you think they'll think what you are not really trying to get them to think what you think.
Found 3 Ani to Vader Evolution Packs, and about 17 500th Darth Vaders today at a local target. The whole bottem shelf was packed with the Vaders, and I wasnt even expecting to find the Evolutions pack, but I did, so I snagged one up. Passed on the Vader, maybe Ill go back and get it, but maybe not. It didnt look all that exciting to me. Ah well, happy hunting everyone!
I found up to and including the Bacara wave.
I know that further waves have been spotted in my area, but I don't have the time nor energy to make the trips around the region, like I used to. I know that eventually they will show up and while it might be months from now, I will get my paws on them.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – To paraphrase ZZ Top, the Rebels will have the legs and they hope they can use them.
Ole Miss avoided the NCAA tournament "First Four" games in Dayton with its run through the SEC tournament.
La Salle wasn't as lucky, and the No. 13-seeded Explorers (23-9) will be playing for the third time in five days when they take on the Rebels tonight at 6:40 in a third-round game at Sprint Center.
La Salle upset No. 4 seed Kansas State 63-61 on Friday, minutes after the Rebels (27-8) advanced by knocking off No. 5 seed Wisconsin.
Tonight's winner will advance to the Sweet 16 round of the West Region in Los Angeles.
"We've got to get up into those guys tomorrow, and make things tough on them. We've got to make them shoot outside shots, but we've got to make them miss," Ole Miss guard Nick Williams said.
Kansas State didn't do that soon enough.
La Salle hit 18 of 31 shots (58.1 percent) in building a 44-26 halftime lead against the Wildcats in an arena filled with purple-clad K-State fans.
The Explorers, though, hit only three of 18 shots in the second half.
"We couldn't get a field goal. We only had three. Obviously that says something about fatigue, a little bit, and that Kansas State's defense was so good," said La Salle junior guard Tyrone Garland, who was 1-for-8 from the floor, 0-for-3 from the 3-point line.
La Salle's leading scorer, Ramon Galloway, was 6-for-11 in the first half including 3-for-5 from the arc. He was 0-for-4 in the second half with two 3-point attempts.
Down a point with 63 seconds left, Garland short-ironed a contested jump shot. Possession returned to the Wildcats, but La Salle forced two misses in the last half-minute and got to the free throw line twice where Jeremy Wright was good three times.
The Explorers downplay the fatigue factor.
"You can't look at it as playing three games in five days. You've got to look at it as do or die," junior guard Tyreek Duren said. "You've got to want it, survive and advance."
Ole Miss players saw in Nashville just how big an advantage an opponent's wobbly legs can be as they pulled away from Vanderbilt in the second half of the semifinal game.
Rebels coach Andy Kennedy played a lot of zone that day, wanting to force as many jump shots as he could.
"We have to execute and play ball, but they've done played two games in three days," Ole Miss guard LaDarius White said. "If we just take care of the ball and run up and down the floor, fatigue will be a major part of this game."
No. 12 Ole Miss vs. No. 13 La Salle
Tip: 6:40 p.m., Sprint Center (18,972), Kansas City, Mo.
TV: TruTV
Radio: Ole Miss network, MSU network. Satellite: Sirius 192, XM 94
Series: Ole Miss leads 1-0.
Coaches – La Salle: Dr. John Giannini, 439-286, 24th season, 142-137, ninth season at La Salle; Ole Miss: Andy Kennedy, 173-99, eighth season, 152-86, seventh season at Ole Miss.
Notes: Ole Miss has advanced to the NCAA's round of 32 for the third time in school history. … Reggie Buckner is the first player in school history to play on teams that won 20 or more games in each of his four seasons. … Buckner had five blocked shots against Wisconsin, increasing his school record total to 324, the fifth-most in SEC history. … He has had five or more blocked shots five times this season. … Murphy Holloway needs eight steals to become the first player in SEC history with 1,400 points, 1,000 rebounds and 200 steals in a career. … The Explorers are 13-10 in 12 NCAA tournament appearances.

I feel a great disturbance in the Force.
Thank you for your awesome coverage and all the work you put in for our benefit. I am very appreciative.
1. I think dumping the photos into one folder is fine initially, I look through them either way. However, it is nice to have them in order when you want to go back and check out specific items to look at. Maybe posting them all together at first and then sorting them out after the fair is over and time is not as pressing would be the best of both worlds. In the poll, I voted to have them broken down just for seachability.
2. Video is cool, but some things really don't require video. If there is some action feature involved with the toy, video would be a big plus. For instance, if they did a demo of transforming the new Republic Attack Shuttle from ship to play set, that is a video I'd watch. A video of the figures on the display is not needed.
3. The photos were great. I like being able to click on the specific photos that I want to see in more detail without having to wait for them all to load in the bigger size. With high speed internet it doesn't make a big difference, but at work where the computers are so slow, waiting for a bunch of high res photos to download can be excruciating.
Coverage was good, but so little in the way of Star Wars, and nobody seemed to bring a lot of Star Wars with them when they did, not even Hasbro.
I like some level of organization in the photos, but I don't actually like doing the work. The only problem with organizing the pics after dumping them is that their URLs change, so it's hard to share links.

The first went out within the first hour it was in use. These wingers are used 6 days a week but are never left out in the elements. Is anyone else having a problem or is it just these? What can be done other than calling the company?

By Ginna Parsons/NEMS Daily Journal
NEW ALBANY – Concord Inn, a sprawling bed and breakfast outside New Albany, will be the featured home on the New Albany Garden Club's spring tour.
"Springtime at Concord Inn" is Saturday, May 4, from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Greek Revival-style home outside New Albany. Tickets are $10 and may be purchased from any club member, at the door or at the Union County Heritage Museum.
"So many people in town have said, 'I'd love to see that place,'" said Lynn Madden, chairman of the club's ways and means committee. "Now, they'll have that opportunity."
The day will include fresh floral arrangements provided by club members, live music, light refreshments and vehicles to help transport people from place to place.
Because there's more than one structure to see on the tour.
In addition to the 8,500-square-foot main house, which also serves as the residence of Chris and Tanya Coombs, there's also The Guest Quarters with a private pool and the Coombs Home, built in 1867, that the couple rents to guests.
Chris bought the 150-acre J.A. Barkley estate in 1997. There was an old cabin, built in 1850, on the property, and he had the main house built near it.
When the cabin accidentally burned to the ground, Chris still wanted to have a historical structure on site, so he had his family's old homeplace moved from Blue Mountain.
"I contacted a relative who had the cabin and he cooperated and we moved it from there to here in 2008," he said. "We had to cut it in half to get it here."
The couple, who married in 2003, named the cabin the Coombs Home.
"My dad, my grandfather and my great-grandfather were all born in that house," Chris said.
And then they set about revitalizing the old home.
"We began the renovation and put back as much original as we could," Tanya said. Some the original wainscoting is still in place, an original mantel still stands and one whole section of wall inside the back door was left untouched.
"I wanted to leave at least some the way it was," she said.
Even the kitchen sink is original to the home.
"We dug it out of the ground," Tanya said. "It had fallen through the floor and been buried under the house."
Today, the Coombs Home has a bedroom, bath, sitting room and totally modern red kitchen.
"The only reason this cabin house lasted as long as it did is because it had an excellent roof on it," Chris said. "I'm glad I renovated it, but I wouldn't do it again."
Proceeds help beautify
The main house at Concord Inn features four bedroom suites on the second floor and two more on the third floor, all available to guests. The bottom floor, where the Coombses live, is comprised of a family room, office, living room, dining room, master bed and bath, kitchen, breakfast room and sunroom.
The Guest Quarters has a full gourmet kitchen, sitting area, bed and bath and a private pool.
"For ball games, people come from all over to stay here," Tanya said. "We also have weddings and receptions and parties."
The Concord Inn is located 7.2 miles from Exit 64 on Highway 78 at 1102 Highway 15 North.
"But don't put that address in your GPS or you'll end up in Ingomar," Chris warned.
All proceeds from Saturday's tour go toward ongoing garden club projects, such as maintenance of the Faulkner Garden at the Union County Heritage Museum, a Tanglefoot Trail whistle stop and other civic improvements.
"What's in our minds is once Highway 78 becomes I-22, we hope to help landscape the intersections into town," Madden said.
For more information, call (662) 507-1774 or (662) 534-8122.
WHAT: New Albany Garden Club presents 'Springtime at Concord Inn.'
WHEN: Saturday, May 4, 1 to 4 p.m.
WHERE: Concord Inn, 1102 Highway 15 North, New Albany (7.2 miles from Exit 64 on U.S. Highway 78).
COST: Tickets are $10 and may be purchased from any club member, at the door or at the Union County Heritage Museum.
INFO: firstname.lastname@example.com or call (662) 507-1774 or
(662) 534-8122.

Sure, the principle is the following:It reads the inclination angle data given by the accelerometer and gyro, applies Kalman Filter to best predict the real inclination and write to the servo motors the inverse angle to compensate the inclination.For my luck, I found an already made Kalman Filter algorithm for arduino in this post: http://arduino.cc/forum/index.php/topic,58048.msg417140.html#msg417140Then I basically used the same code, just adapting it to write the angles to the servos: // added in the beginning:#include <Servo.h> Servo servo1;Servo servo2;// added in setup: servo1.attach(6); servo2.attach(9);// added in the end of loop() function: servo1.writeMicroseconds(1560-yAngle*9.55); servo2.writeMicroseconds(1510+xAngle*9.55);Where 1560 and 1510 are the values corresponding to the center position of my servos and yAngle and xAngle varies from -90 to +90 and are scaled to fit the observed servo limits.Any question, please comment!

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 2:51 PM GMT on October 08, 2010
The deluge continues over Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and the northern Lesser Antilles Islands from Hurricane Otto, which is bringing a fourth straight day of heavy rains. Otto is the eighth hurricane of this very active 2010 hurricane season; our tally now stands at 15 named storms, 8 hurricanes, and 5 intense hurricanes. An average season has 10 - 11 named storms, 6 hurricanes, and 2 intense hurricanes. Otto's rains have caused a fair degree of trouble in the islands. According to Wikipedia, Heavy downpours in the U.S. Virgin Islands caused flooding across several local roads. In Saint Croix, a roadway section leading into Enfield Green collapsed on the night of October 6, temporarily cutting the south-side neighborhood off to vehicle traffic until a makeshift roadway through Carlton Estate was created the next day. On the island's North Shore in La Vallee, landslides and localized flooding in low-lying areas created some issues. There were no reports of major damage, however, and the roads remained passable. Torrential floods across the British Virgin Islands toppled several cars and caused extensive damage to utility lines and drainage pipes; dozens of people (mostly in Road Town) were left without power and water. An estimated 100 homes were flooded in Saint Lucia, and a fishing village on the island's east coast was declared a disaster zone. Schools, businesses and government offices across all of the Virgin Islands and in Saint Kitts and Nevis were closed until further notice.
In Puerto Rico, heavy rainfalls fell across the municipality of Utuado on October 7. As a result, a road to a neighborhood was made inaccessible after being severely damaged by gushing waters when parts of the Arecibo River overflowed. That same day, a landslide dragged away a communication post along the road and made it impossible for larger vehicles--including ambulances--to access the site. Meanwhile, fourteen families in the municipality of Ponce were cut off from communication because of several landslides. A residence alongside a road suffered significant damage and its inhabitants were forced to evacuate. Furthermore, a district in Cayey was isolated after a bridge collapsed, while burst riverbanks caused flooding across streets, trapping dozens of families in their homes. Across the island, 40 roads were closed due to torrential rainfall, and 19 streets had at least one lane closed.
Figure 1. Morning satellite image of Otto.
Weather radar out of Puerto Rico shows that a large area of heavy rain will continue to affect the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico today, and flash flood warnings are posted on these islands through tonight. Martinique radar shows considerably less activity over the Lesser Antilles.
Satellite imagery shows a well-organized storm with an expanding Central Dense Overcast (CDO) of high cirrus clouds covering the center. Infrared satellite imagery shows a region of intense thunderstorms with very cold cloud tops, with the suggestion of a warm spot--an eye--forming. Otto should continue to intensify until Saturday morning, when wind shear will quickly rise to a very high 30+ knots.
Figure 2. Radar-estimated rainfall from Otto over Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands this week shows that rains in excess of eight inches (white colors) have fallen in many regions. The strange ray-like pattern to the east of the radar location (the white "+" symbol) is due to mountains blocking the radar beam.
Western Caribbean disturbance
An area of disturbed weather in the Western Caribbean, a few hundred miles east of the coast of Nicaragua, has only a small amount of intense thunderstorms, but is showing some spin. The disturbance is nearly stationary, and is under a moderate 15 - 20 knots of wind shear. Some dry air in the Western Caribbean is interfering with development. I expect the storm will begin to build some significant heavy thunderstorms over the weekend, bringing heavy rains to northeastern Honduras and Nicaragua. None of the models develop the disturbance into a tropical depression, but it does have some potential for slow development over the next few days, and NHC is giving the disturbance a 20% chance of developing into a tropical depression by Sunday. The ECMWF model has the disturbance drifting northward next week and crossing Central Cuba on Wednesday or Thursday. Most of the other models keep the storms confined to the Caribbean.
A challenge to the validity of the world extreme heat record of 136.4°F (58°C) at Al Aziza, Libya
One of the "sacred cows" of world weather extremes has been the widely reported "hottest temperature ever recorded on earth", a reading of 58°C (136.4°F) reported from Al Azizia, Libya on Sept. 13, 1922. In a remarkable piece of research, our featured Weather Extremes blogger Christopher C. Burt concludes: the temperature observations at Al Azizia prior to 1927 (when the site and instruments were changed) are obviously invalid. The shelter housing the thermometer was most likely over exposed and measuring heat radiating of off the black-tarred concrete of the terrace on which it was placed.
Has Mr. Burt slain one of meteorology's most sacred cows? You be the judge. Check out the full story at his blog.

Dr Freda C Lewis-Hall, executive vice president and chief medical officer, Pfizer
Pfizer has been betting big on Asia Pacific and other emerging markets. The company has taken a lot of steps to tap and further extend its presence in these markets. Dr Freda C Lewis-Hall, executive vice president and chief medical officer, Pfizer, spoke about some of these strategies that are in place for the APAC region in an exclusive one-on-one interview with BioSpectrum during her visit to BioAsia 2013 in Hyderabad.
She highlighted some of the initiatives that the company has taken in APAC and throughout the world to support effective clinical trials and advance drug discovery. She also spoke about the various collaborations Pfizer has with several companies and institutions.
Please tell us about the division that you lead, Pfizer Medical
Pfizer Medical is the part of Pfizer whose role is ensuring the safe, effective and appropriate use of our medicines, from the first time a patient is exposed to one of our medicines in clinical trials to the last time a patient takes our medicine anywhere in the world. In order to do that, we have a number of organizations in the division. Within Pfizer Medical is a group that does quality assurance (QA) and regulatory work to support and ensure high quality conduct and implementation of our clinical trials.
We have another organization that is responsible for communication with physicians. That group is focused on providing high-quality medical information and managing physician educational support. And last but not least is a group that works on key public health issues, External Medical Affairs. They help partnerships and collaborations that are focused on answering key public health needs.
How is Pfizer developing strategies to meet the medical needs of patients in emerging markets?
We think that the heart of meeting unmet medical needs in India, in Asia or anywhere else around the world, is innovation. At the end of the day there are many diseases that affect us and few that are adequately treated. We think that Innovation is the key to meeting unmet need anywhere around the world. So our focus is on supporting innovation through discovery and collaborations that we think spur that, in good clinical development we have some activities that support that in Asia and around the world. Example, we are working with clinical trial sites to help get accreditation to support improvement in clinical trial conduct.

Shovels, not strikes
The Viterbo softball team was supposed to play its first home game Tuesday.
Instead, the dugout is empty, the scoreboard is off, and the shovels are out.
"This is crazy," Viterbo Softball Coach Andrea Tsilis said. "Last year was like 80 degrees at this time!"
"We're not lifting this week. This is our workout," she added.
"I think I would rather be lifting," firstbaseman Emmalee Eckardt said. "I would rather be lifting than doing this. It's a little cold out here."
Prep sports are facing the same problem. The first baseball games were supposed to be played Thursday, March 28.
"I went out to the infield and just scraped away the snow, and it's probably about two inches of snow on there, and underneath that is an inch of ice," Logan Activities Director Steve Hole said. "All has to go away before the frost can get out of the ground."
This is new territory for West Salem. It's only their second season of competing in WIAA spring baseball.19497000
"I had a parent comment to me today, maybe better do a dance of some kind, try to get rid of this snow, and I said well, we're used to playing summer ball so my dances all involve making it cooler," West Salem Baseball Coach Chuck Ihle said.
So for now, it's conditioning and lifting.
"If anybody's got a playable diamond, give us a call because I'd like to get a game in," Ihle said.
MVC Activities Directors are meeting Wednesday, April 3 and will discuss whether games can be rescheduled.

No one was injured in an accident on Penney Crescent in St. John's about 9:35 p.m. Tuesday that saw a pickup truck hit a parked car, which then hit a second parked car that was sent through a closed garage door of a house where it struck two parked motorcycles.
The driver of the pickup — a 39-year-old man — was charged by the RNC with impaired driving and operating a motor vehicle with more than 80mg of alcohol in 100ml of blood.
He will appear in provincial court at a later date.

A BIG JOB Bjurman at work.
It's a muggy Wednesday and Johan Bjurman stands atop an 85-foot aerial lift along Aborn Street in downtown Providence, a paintbrush in his hand and a thermos of ice water at his side.
He has been working for almost a week straight now, as many as 10 or 12 hours per day. And no wonder.
Providence arts organization AS220's annual carnival of art and music, Foo Fest, is fast approaching — and so is the painter's deadline.
Bjurman's task: paint a 40-by-80-foot mural designed by famed street artist Shepard Fairey, who is scheduled to appear at Foo Fest on August 14 and collect AS220's first-ever Free Culture Award, bestowed upon artists who make significant contributions to "grassroots, participatory culture." (He'll also take part in an Action Speaks! forum on "Free Culture" at AS220 on August 13 at 5:15 pm.)
It's a big job. But Bjurman, 63, has done big jobs before.
A native of North Providence, he started as a billboard painter — cars, cigarettes, that kind of thing. He still remembers when photography revolutionized the business: first, he was painting from photographs; then, the photographs virtually supplanted paint.
But there was more work to do. He painted murals, some of his design and some by others. And there was plenty of trompe l'oeil, French for "deceive the eye," a hyper-realistic brand of painting that appears everywhere from church ceilings to the sides of commercial buildings.
There were local jobs. But much of Bjurman's career has been spent on the road. He's painted a Civil War mural at Gettysburg. Worked on Doris Duke's house in Hawaii. He even restored a portion of Vice President Dick Cheney's ceremonial offices in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building in Washington after a fire.
For one 10-year stretch Bjurman was on the road as many as seven and eight months at a time, he says, always looking forward to the winter, when he'd return home to hand paint the 27 billboards at the Pawtucket Red Sox' McCoy Stadium.
He still has the job. It takes three months, he says, and he's always brushing up against Opening Day. "It's a photo finish," he says.
But one advantage of working so many years, Bjurman says, is that he doesn't panic. He knows he can get the job done.
Down from the lift, Bjurman shows a visitor a rough rendering of the Fairey mural, sectioned off by planned date of completion. He figures he's slightly ahead of schedule already.
The design calls for a red, white, and black ode to Providence's architectural and industrial history. The work also references Fairey's own stint in the city when, as a RISD student, he launched a career with his "Andre the Giant Has a Posse" guerilla sticker campaign.
At the center of the image is the Art Deco-style Bank of America tower, better known as the Superman building. The words "Providence" and "Industrial" stretch out on either side. To the left: a train trestle, with an Andre the Giant image affixed, and a piece of the Atlantic Mills facility, where Fairey had a studio.

Real customer reviews from Dodge owners like you.
An AC system has many components: compressor, condenser, receiver dryer, evaporator, and hoses. The compressor, the "heart" of the car's air conditioning system works like a pump taking refrigerant, (R-12 in older cars, R-134a in 1995 and newer cars) and pressurizing it, passing it along to the evaporator. The AC compressor has several moving parts (including pistons and valves). These internal parts can fail, causing the AC compressor to stop working. It is common for the internal parts of the compressor to come apart and disperse metallic debris throughout the system. Consequently, it is a requirement to replace the orifice tube and the receiver dryer when replacing the compressor since some of the debris may have ended up there. For an AC compressor to work, it needs a clutch, bearing, and an electrical connector. The clutch is driven by a drive/serpentine belt, which engages the compressor when you switch on the AC. The clutch can burn or the bearing can fail. If the bearing or clutch have failed, it is recommended that the compressor be replaced. Sometimes replacing the entire compressor with a remanufactured one can be cheaper than replacing an individual clutch or bearings. It is also common for the seals in the AC compressor to go bad. The compressor may start leaking refrigerant and/or the AC oil. If the seals no longer hold, you will need a new compressor, as the seals cannot be replaced. A compressor may also fail if there is sludge or debris in the air conditioning system. If there is sludge or debris, the hoses, evaporator, and condenser should be flushed to get rid of the contaminants. When it is not possible to flush the parts, you may need to replace those parts.

I found this Bandai tin '65 stang at an estate sale. I had to have it because I used to have a real 65 Mustang just like it in my younger days. It had a black vinyl top and the body was candy apple red. I was wondering about this toy. There is a gold colored foil sticker on the roof. Does anybody know if the toy came new with that sticker? I didn't know if I should remove it or not. If anybody can help, I would appreciate it. Thanks

E-mail with summary of data
Having a daily e-mail with the summary of the group activity would be beneficial to keep people interacting with the neeshub. One of the challenges that I currently have is that I have to log in to the hub to see if there are any updates on my groups. Having an e-mail indicating the latest changes on each group (if any) would make this process much easier. Something similar is done in the groups of Linkedin. This "daily digest" e-mail can also be an opportunity to send general information about NEES to users.

Congrats to everyone in the open! I understand it was a outstanding open, I only got reports from the coaches but they were very happy with the tests. They said the judges had 13 birds to pick up including 10 marks! That's good time management when you have 113 dogs and still finish with 3 hrs left.

"I do not know if the people of the United States would vote for superior men if they ran for office, but there can be no doubt that such men do not run."
― Alexis de Tocqueville, Tocqueville: Democracy in America
We need to choose who holds an office, not pick from those who crave it at all costs regardless of which party you side with. If an existing POTUS needs to campaign for his job at the end of his first term is he worthy of re-election? And why on Earth would a POTUS save political capital till their last term instead of doing what they are elected to do on day 1, its not like they are not set for life after wining the first time.
