Since Oct. 27, Carolyn Edelen has stopped going to work early at her store, Carolyn's Corner in Big Spring. She does not feel safe anymore, she said.
Jason Matz said a thunderstorm causes him to relive the horror of that October morning when a man entered his home and shot him twice during a struggle over a gun.
Matz's fiancee, Carol Pullen, said she can't stay in the couple's residence on Rineyville-Big Springs Road when Matz isn't there. She doesn't feel at ease.

March 15 2014 BOOKLIST
January 2014
Titles similar to A Corpse in the Koryo
Inspector O, a North Korean state police officer, is given an unusual assignment: go to a certain part of a certain road at dawn and photograph a certain vehicle. Little does he suspect that this seemingly inconsequential task will escalate into a case that will lead him to risk his job, and his life. The (pseudonymous) author, a veteran intelligence officer, has intimate knowledge of Asian life and politics, and it shows: he gives the North Korea setting a feeling of palpable reality, depicting the nature of daily life under a totalitarian government not just with broad sociopolitical descriptions but also with specific everyday details. Inspector O is completely believable and sympathetic, a working cop who isn't entirely sure he believes in the things his government tells him to believe in. Comparisons to J. Robert Janes' series set in occupied France and costarring Gestapo detective Kohler are inevitable, but there is also a little of Martin Cruz Smith's early Arkady Renko novels here. The writing is superb, too, well above the level usually associated with a first novel, richly layered and visually evocative.

text: Vaughn Gittin Jr. is one of drifting's most iconic figures and his machine, the Monster Energy Nitto Tire Ford Racing Mustang, one of the sport's most identifiable cars. Vaughn is known best by his aggressive, foot to the floor, big smoke driving style. In 2010, Vaughn earned his first Formula Drift Championship, becoming the second-ever Champion with a strictly drifting background. Also in 2010, Gittin launched his brand for a new generation of Mustang with the RTR. The dealer-installed package for the 2010-2014 Ford Mustang GT V8 is available at select Ford dealerships. Being such a fierce competitor, Vaughn is known as the only American to win a D1 Grand Prix event, not once - but twice. In 2005 Vaughn stunned the world when he won the D1GP USA vs. Japan. In 2007, he brought America the gold once more by winning the D1GP World Championship. In 2011, Vaughn competed in China's premier drift series, WDS, and took home the Championship. In 2012, Vaughn was shy just one spot of the Formula Drift Championship, taking second place overall. He has achieved five wins and multiple podiums throughout his Formula Drift career.

The Things I Hate About IDLE That I Wish Someone Would Fix
I've written a book on Python programming for kids and complete beginners. I've also done some classroom and one-on-one teaching with adults and teens. I have them use IDLE, the IDE that comes with Python, because it is simple and easier than having them set up some other IDE (like PyDev on Eclipse).
But over time I've noticed a lot of problems with IDLE that I wish someone would fix. (I'd like to do it myself but I don't have the time currently.) I'm very, very grateful that Python comes batteries included vis-à-vis an IDE, but there are a lot of warts and user interface issues with IDLE. (These are different from the bugs listed on the python.org bug tracker.)
First off, my philosophy is that no serious Python programmer uses IDLE as their dev environment. With that assumption, we can get rid of any need to cater to them and make IDLE aimed at people who are not only new to Python but new to programming in general. IDLE should be an education tool more than a development tool. This means that the IDLE default options should all be set for the basic user, not the power user.
With that in mind, these are things I'd like to see changed about the design of IDLE (roughly in order of importance and prior 1) PROBLEM: In the shell window, if you click anywhere but on the current line and move the cursor there, the window stops handling key strokes. This caused so many problems when I was teaching a dozen teenagers how to program in Python. Someone would accidentally click on the interactive shell window in the wrong place, and then the window would stop making text appear as they type and they have no idea why. I'd have to pause the entire class to figure out what happened, resume, just to have someone else do it ten minutes later. What would we lose by getting rid of this "feature"? Well, we wouldn't be able to highlight text by holding down shift and banging on the arrow keys. That… hasn't really been something my students and readers really need. The "select all" covers the case for highlighting everything, and the mouse can be used for highlighting small bits of text. The in-between amounts (where holding down shift and pressing PgUp or PgDn) is a special case that isn't special enough to break this rule. Another UI problem that being able to move the cursor back up introduces: When my students' code would raise some exception, they thought they could correct it by scrolling back up, deleting the original code, and then re-typing it out (as if the interactive shell were a word processor). They would move the cursor up, but would be foiled when couldn't change any of the existing text. Getting rid of this misleading cursor stops this issue much earlier in the process and reduces confusion. 1.1) SUB-PROBLEM: Pressing the Home key moves the cursor before the >>> prompt, which then makes the keyboard unresponsive. If you are typing at the interactive shell prompt, then want to go to the beginning of the line by hitting the Home key, you'll then have to hit the right arrow key three times to *really* get to the front of the prompt. Until then, typing characters on the keyboard have no effect. 1.2) NEW FEATURE: Auto-Copy-On-Highlight Once we get rid of being able to move the cursor off the last line, that opens a new opportunity to implement an automatic copy-on-highlight feature that many terminal and IRC client programs implement. Since this text is read-only, the only reason a person has for highlighting it is to copy it (they can't delete it.) As soon as the user highlights text in the shell window, it is copied to the clipboard. 2) PROBLEM: When debugging, the current line of code loses its highlighting when the window loses focus. And the debugger window is a separate window so the file editor is forced to lose focus to operate the debugger. Page 1 of 3 | Next page

First, it depends on whether or not your mother has dementia. If she does not have dementia, you might not be able to do anything to make her go. Sometimes this is the hardest thing to do—letting someone make a "bad" decision. However, if your mother does not go into the nursing home, it does not mean you have to provide all the care. It is okay to tell her what you can and cannot handle. If finances are available, one option is to hire a home care attendant either privately or through a home care agency.
If there are not funds available for this, you might need to use the doctor, nurse or social worker to talk to her about her care needs. Sometimes your best choice is to call Adult Protective Services and tell them that you cannot provide the care and that your mother won't go into a nursing home. They can work with you and her so that she is not abandoned nor are you liable for neglecting her.
If your mother does have dementia, it is a different situation. Since people with dementia often have trouble making decisions and often cannot make rational decisions, trying to "convince" her will probably fail. You might need to apply for a conservatorship in order to have the authority to make decisions for her. Again, working with the physician might help. The doctor could write a "prescription" for her, which can work due to the power of his position and also makes him the "heavy" and not you. If someone has been in the hospital, it is a natural transition time. I would encourage you to have her discharged directly to the nursing home at that time. If your mother does not come home first, it is easier to deal with placement in a facility.
It is hard to know what to say or not say when placing a loved one. Sometimes it is best to give the person a lot of advance notice, get them involved in choosing what they want to bring with them, and participate in choosing the facility. For others, however, knowing what is going to happen just produces a lot of anxiety and makes it harder for the person to adjust. In this case, it is often better to not say anything until the move actually happens. Making up a story can sometimes help, such as saying it is just until you get back in town from a trip.
Finally, it is very important to take care of yourself. Placing a loved one in a nursing home is always a difficult decision; it is common to feel guilty. We encourage you to think in terms of regret instead of guilt; e.g., it is unfortunate that placement has to happen (regret), but you have not done something wrong (guilt) by placing her, and have likely made the best decision both for you and your loved one. It's especially important to get support from family, friends, support groups, your religious community or another source.

Young Braves pitcher drawing Maddux comparisons

08:22 AM ET 09.04 | Even if his scoreless streak was snapped at 34 2/3 innings Monday, Kris Medlen made his 25th career start another beauty, this one with 12 strikeouts. His was the longest scoreless-innings streak by a Braves starter since Greg Maddux had one of 39-1/3 innings in September 2000. Medlen still hasn't allowed an earned run in 37-2/3 consecutive innings or a homer in 48-2/3 innings. ... The Braves believed that Medlen would thrive in the rotation, but nobody thought he'd be quite so, as [Chipper Jones] put it, "Maddux-esque." "I would be lying to you if I said I expected this," [Fredi Gonzalez] said. "But when we talked about it in spring training, we knew that once he was in the rotation, it was going to be difficult to get him out."
You won't know if anybody is THAT good for years. Let the kid be himself and see what develops. It's a long, long nearly impossible road to 350 MLB victories.
It is easy to compare people, but let the young man pitch for over 20 seasons and win over 300 games, and then you can say he is like Maddux.

Nort$Nutten but, Why dont we wait until he retires then we can compare funerals!!!!

his style of pitching is similar to Maddux. they had a side by side comparison of their deliveries and pitch location on the Braves broadcast yesterday....the resemblance is scary.
Medlen has been the bright spot in an otherwise 'iffy' rotation this season.
Agreed, they're throwing the same ludicrous accolades at Bryce Harper too.
The difference is that Medlen is actually performing and has earned the accolades. Harper is a .250 hitter still being treated like the second coming.

medlen hasn't started pitch no more than 8 games, wait by next year when he would be pitching every five days the hitters would read him much better and he shouldn't be able to strike too many hitters that easy!!!
It's easy to get carried away but he does look awfully good.
I've liked this kid since he first came up. His repertoire, size, attitude and general make-up does remind my of Maddux.
Agreed, they're throwing the same ludicrous accolades at Bryce Harper too.
I haven't head anyone compare Harper to Maddux.
wiseup: A pitcher has a few good games and allof a sudden he is heading for the hall of fame. Lets wait a few more games and about ten years into his career before we start making his plaque. maybe his delivery might be similar to maddox, but when he paints the black of the plate the whloe game, then maybe. However as he faces more teams and the hitters see more of him they will make adjustments. Over the rest of this year He will end up being a fair to Medlan pitcher.
His style is similar to Maddux's. Pounds the strikezone with pinpoint accuracy, has the nasty 2 seamer to lefties, and though he racks up some strikeouts, he generally pitches to contact, which keeps his pitch count very manageable.
Nobody is saying he's the next Maddux.
Total Comments (159)
So much hate. Give the kid some credit for what he's accomplished. 34 consecutive scoreless innings? That's pretty durn'd impressive. I agree, it's too early to call him the next Maddux, but that kind of control for someone that young is amazing.....very Maddux-esque.
It's not like this is 1st time he has pitched in the majors. The Braves have won his last 18 starts spanning 3 seasons. He was good before TJ surgery and he's even better now. He's not Maddux, but he is currently playing him on TV.

I received an email the other day from someone who wanted to let me know the Orem salary database needed updating.
"Please update the City of Orem salary information because it is 2 years old," the person wrote. "They are now in Fiscal Year 2014."

The data up there at this time is for the 2012 fiscal year, which began July 1, 2011 and ended June 30, 2012. I will be posting the 2013 fiscal year data shortly.
But I can't get to the fiscal year 2014 salary data because, technically, it doesn't exist yet.
Yes, government agencies have already figured out how much they will spend on each employee's salary and benefits package for the coming fiscal year. But, that money hasn't been paid out yet.
I field enough complaints from people who don't understand that we initially show gross compensation, which is salary plus benefits. Publishing what someone might earn in the coming year is not going to make many people happy.
Let's say Utah's Right posted that an employee was making $100,000 in salary in the 2014 fiscal year, but the employee got fired two days into the year. While that money was budgeted for him, it's not what he was paid, which would make that posting erroneous, as well as make this guy upset when he gets people asking about the 100 grand he was supposedly paid.
In the coming weeks, utahsright,com's salary databases will be updated to show the 2013 data — at least for the agencies that are willing to share that data.

iPhone earrings replace snap bracelets as tackiest fashion accessory
If you just gotta have your iPhone or BlackBerry on you at all times, these homemade earrings will hold you over while your real phone is charging up.
They're offered on Barb Feldman's Etsy shopping site. While I'm not sure you'll see them at this year's Fashion Week, I wouldn't be surprised to see them dangling ironically on some N.Y. socialite, even though I personally think they're ugly as sin and look like Jacobim Mugatu's reject design from 2001. To her credit, Barb does layer each pair piece by piece using … Read more

HILLSBORO, Ore. – SolarWorld's premium-quality Sunmodule™ solar panels, manufactured in the USA using monocrystalline technology for more than 35 years, now also incorporate high-performance polycrystalline technology. SolarWorld factories in Oregon and California are producing polycrystalline solar panels featuring power densities of 230 and 240 watts peak.
The largest and most experienced U.S. producer of crystalline silicon photovoltaic panels, SolarWorld is dramatically expanding supplies of high-performance silicon solar panels of both crystal types at a time of heightened worldwide demand. The company's U.S. facilities have reached a national leadership capacity of 500 MW. The move further demonstrates SolarWorld's bold commitment to developing and serving solar market segments in the Americas, even amid diminishing industry output there. SolarWorld's U.S.-made Sunmodule™ Plus poly panels come with the same high quality, performance and reliability as well as 25-year linear performance guarantee as its monocrystalline panels. SolarWorld's facilities in Hillsboro, Oregon, and Camarillo, California, still undertake every step in the monocrystalline value chain – crystals, wafers, cells and panels. Now they also are ramping up production of polycrystalline cells and panels. "In these times of tight supplies, our years of commitment to building much greater production volume and versatility are paying off for our customers in the Americas with the best that both silicon technologies offer," said Kevin Kilkelly, president of SolarWorld Americas. "Our production advances will equip our installer and distribution partners with everything they need to succeed in a market that demands nothing less than domestic production, proven reliability and high performance." The basic distinction between the two technologies results from differing processes for crystallizing silicon. In the monocrystalline process, a single cylindrical crystal slowly grows inside a furnace. In the polycrystalline process, molten silicon forms multiple crystal lattices as it quickly cools in a square mold.
SolarWorld AG manufactures solar power systems and in doing so contributes to a cleaner energy supply worldwide. The company, located in Bonn, employs approximately 2,500 people and carries out production in Freiberg, Germany, and Hillsboro, Ore. From raw material silicon to the solar module, SolarWorld manages all stages of production ‒ including its own research and development. Through an international distribution network, SolarWorld supplies customers all over the world with solar modules and complete systems. The company maintains high social standards at all locations across the globe, and has committed itself to resource- and energy-efficient production. SolarWorld has been publicly traded on the stock market since 1999. More information at www.solarworld-usa.com

Favorites of FLORENCE
By Dennis Griffin studiogriffo
This book is a collection of more than 95 photographs taken during four different visits to Florence, Italy. It consists of my favorite images of the city, the Arno River, the churches, the Boboli Gardens, and some of the incredible art that can be viewed there.
About the Author
Dennis Griffin, a photographer for 40 years, is a native of Southern California. He founded Studio Griffoto in 2007 to market his fine art imagery. His award winning work spans nearly four decades and encompasses nature and landscape photography, form photography, travel photography and digital imaging. Mr. Griffin's unique style and eye for composition are clearly reflected throughout the broad scope of his images captured in California, Hawaii and other parts of the United States, as well as France, Germany, and Italy.
To quote the artist: "I have always been fascinated by the interplay of color, design, and the magical effects of light and reflections. From the early days working in darkrooms smelling of acetic acid to the present using the immaculate technology of inkjet printers, my goal of making artful images has remained unchanged...a desire to capture the interplay of light and color to create unique images of beauty."

GET KIDS INVOLVED! Help the next generation change the world for the better. Share what can happen to birds when they are born into captivity. |
Lifetime Care for our Feathered Friends Birds come to us from bird owners who, in many different ways, find themselves in a position where they can no longer care for them. Many people, who are referred to the Macaw Rescue and Sanctuary, come to understand our philosophy and find that this environment is similar to one where their bird would be if it lived in its natural environment. They see that, as much as they will miss their birds, their friends can now be with other birds. Their birds get to become part of bird communities—the way it should be. But caring for these beautiful, intelligent creatures is incredibly labor intensive and we need support in many ways. We hope, after you learn about what we are doing, that you'll find ways you can offer support to enable the many birds, who now call this home, to live their lives in peace and dignity. – AUCTION UPDATE – We will post information about items for the Auction for 2014 as they arrive (beginning Spring 2014). |

More copies of this ISBNThis title in other editionsVoyage of a Summer Sun: Canoeing the Columbia Riverby Robin Cody
Synopses & ReviewsSynopsis:On the morning of June 18, 1990, high up in the Canadian Rockies, Robin Cody pushed his sixteen-foot, forty-seven-pound Kevlar canoe through tall grass and mud to launch it on peaceful Columbia Lake, the nominal source of the river that heaves more water into the Pacific Ocean than any other in North or South America: the Columbia. For the next eighty-two days, Cody would steer his canoe around massive dams, through killer rapids, and across reservoirs the size of small states, plunging 2,750 feet in 1,200 miles and passing right through his hometown of Portland, Oregon, before reaching the open sea. Undertaken with no particular goal in mind, with no great point to prove, the solo voyage would churn up myth, memory, and unexpected truths about the magnificent natural phenomenon that dominates the landscape, economy, and spirit of the Pacific Northwest. To the tent-dwelling canoeist, animals play an often funny, sometimes scary, role - bear, moose, coyote, beaver, deer, osprey, heron, loon. But, as Cody soon realizes, "nature, in real time, is not a dependable entertainment". Untethered thought takes over, and human contact, human language, is craved. Cody's cravings are met by a host of colorful riverfolk: Virginia Wyena, the grandmother of seventeen who pronounces for him the unspellable Wanapum name for the Columbia; Wayne Houlbrook, a would-be adventure guide and actual companion through daunting Redgrave Canyon; Mary Yadernuk, a seventy-three-year-old trapper of the old school; Ben Seibold, a "wood butcher" on hand for the raising of Grand Coulee Dam during the Great Depression; Lucille Worsham, who counts the fish swimming by her station down in the bowels of Bonneville Dam; evena couple of anonymous gossiping teenagers in a hardware store. A consummate listener, Cody learns that few are satisfied with the contortions the modern Columbia has been made to undergo for the sake of hydraulic and nuclear power, and that the environment is indeed in grave crisis and yet, he can't help but marvel at the orchestration of the river's power system as if its fourteen dams were "the stops on a massive pipe organ". He hears about eco-terrorists who slaughter hatchery salmon that they suspect are diluting the gene pool; about "hummers", radioactive coyote feces in the vicinity of Hanford's notorious B Reactor; about trees shooting like javelins out of man-made reservoirs that weren't logged before they were filled. As he takes all this in, merely by putting his ear to the river for a good long time, Cody gains as rich an understanding of it as anyone has since 1811, when David Thompson made the first white man's trip along the Columbia, mapping it as he went. With a generous and infectious spirit, Cody draws us into the mysteries of a much altered river tamed, regulated, but still at heart a wilderness.

Synchrony Fractional Yacht Ownership
Another fractional yacht ownership company, Synchrony Yachts has launched. Synchrony's first yacht is a 120-foot Benetti Classic 120 which sleeps 10 in five staterooms with room for six or seven crew members. The yacht has exterior styling by Italian designer Stefano Righini and an interior designed by the French architect Francois Zuretti and offers a large main saloon, formal bar, an upper deck with a saloon area, outside deck area for alfresco dining and a sun deck with Jacuzzi and bar. The yacht comes fully loaded with the requisite water toys including a jet ski and a pair of wave runners as well as a well-trained crew.
Synchrony offers six week shares which start at $4.8 million. Each owner receives a quarter share in the yacht but can also use any other yacht in the Synchrony fleet and trips can be arranged for both long and short durations. The syndicated ownership term is five years from the yacht launch date and the yacht will be put up for sale at the end of the term. The company promises that each owner is protected against credit risk, default of any other owners or even the insolvency of Synchrony (all of which could be a concern in these uncertain times).

Nice fit and styling, more a lifestyle piece. Good lens choices. With glasses like these I don't stick them on my head, it stretches them out then they will fit loose on the face. My day to day choice right now.

We framed our efforts in a threefold model which we called, "our Triptych". It was the combination of the works of the heart (liturgy), the mind (religious education and Catholic Social Teaching) and the body (works of charity). Such model, which I derived from a booklet by Archbishop Daniel E. Pilarczyk, helped us to focus more clearly on the celebration of the parish feast day of the Assumption, by making it the symbol of the entire pastoral activity. Hence the three moments of the Feast Day: the parish Bazaar, symbolizing the Body; the Convention, consisting of a presentation by a special speaker – a bishop, a seminary professor, etc., symbolizing the Mind; and the liturgy of the Vigil of the Assumption – procession and Eucharist, usually with one of Houston's bishops presiding, was the Heart. Thus, all parish activities revolved around the threefold model and would lead each parishioner to feel and be a member of one community, certainly as diversified as the civic community, and yet, united and interconnected in solidarity by the same faith.
So, from a practical standpoint, we began focusing on the dignity of liturgies – not that they were to be necessarily perfect, but simple and according to the rubrics. A simple, yet well celebrated Eucharist must both reflect and inspire the life of a community, and not presume a perfection which is not there, or be offered with a casual approach that trivializes it. Hence, building upon the methodology, already in practice at both the diocesan and parish levels, of celebrating bilingual masses, we chose a few occasions that would symbolize our hoped for unity and at the same time would not be too much of a burden to either of the two main linguistic groups. These were Holy Thursday, Easter Vigil, the Vigil of Pentecost, the Vigil of the Assumption, and the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe.

Fr. Italo and the Vatican
Fr. Italo Dell'Oro, who is a part-time campus minister here as well as the vocation director for the Somascans in Houston, made a presentation to the Vatican Fifth World Congress on the Pastoral Care of Migrants and Refugees in 2003. I found a transcript of the presentation posted on the Vatican website. Pretty cool. Here is a snip:

YKK makes the best zippers in the world. Period. They are more reliable over a longer period of time, and they withstand the stress of heavy equipment and the abuses of travel. And we only use the self-healing zippers with specially designed zipper coils that easily reconnect if they separate from over-packing.
Nylon is more rugged, water- and tear-resistant than polyester, that's why it's used in all of the best outdoor camping, hiking and travel gear. A nylon exterior ensures that Tenba bags are built to withstand serious professional use and the rigors of heavy travel, yet they remain extremely lightweight.
Duraflex clips and fasteners are the choice of the U.S. military and law enforcement, and they are the standard for the best outdoor carry gear for any application. And they maintain reliability at extreme temperatures.
Capacity: 2 SLRs, 6-8 lenses (up to 300mm f2.8) & flash, plus virtually any size tripod.
Backpacks are the outdoor shooter's mainstay. Shootout backpacks are available in multiple sizes, to accommodate camera/lens/ laptop setups ranging from basic to brutal, plus all the accessories. All styles except Daypack feature our exclusive MSTC™ tripod carrying system. Large and medium sizes are also available in wheeled versions.
The Medium size is designed to carry a large camera system and tripod, plus a laptop up to 17 inches. The Medium is identical to the Small and Large backpacks in every way except for size, and it includes an expedition-grade waist belt and removable photo interior. It will fit in the overhead compartment of most full sized domestic U.S. jets.

The VIP movement isn't something new to us anymore; they've definitely solidified their seats within our culture. With that comes the non-stop deliverance of top-tier style, execution, luxury, and groundbreaking modifications that many have turned out to be quite the sucker for, us included.

I've come to notice those who get cars with the intention of only doing minor modifications always tend to end up doing a lot more, and doing it very, very well. I've met and talked to quite a few of these types of individuals, but this one in particular has made it so I will never look at the Inifiniti G37 the same way ever again. Read More
While the rest of the United States is being blanketed by snow we here in the Sunshine State truly feel bad for you … kind of. Welcome to Florida, where you can wear short and tan year-round, and host a killer euro show without worrying about the cold weather and snow. Sure it gets cool down here, but we welcome that as a break. Enough with the weather report, welcome to Euro Tripper 2! February 2014 hosted the second edition of the all euro event in sunny Ft. Myers, Florida. The Germain Arena hosted the show again this year, and if you missed the second edition of this ever growing event it's safe to say you really missed out.

Canibeat: Web Picks #2
Another Winter 2014 week is in the books and I am back at it again with another version of Web Picks (#2). My primary goal with these segments is to give you guys a good variety in photo style and cars. Just like last week here are my favorite photos from around Flickr and the Internet.
I personally invite any of these talented photographers below to reach out to me and lets work together on some features! Keep up the good work everyone and as always just a friendly reminder to add your work to the Canibeat Flickr Pool. I am toying around with the idea of maybe opening this segment up to guests. If this interests you feel free to reach out as well.
Take a moment and reflect on your life endeavor. The people you've encountered, the roads you've traveled. Some remember tumultuous seas, others remember tranquil roadways. But each person's route is truly unique. I think about that moment I met Rudi Schreiner on the blacktop at VagFair all those years ago. I remember the sweltering heat cooking my skin as it beaded with salty perspiration. I remember gazing through the heat refraction and fixating my eyes with this Volkswagen R32. I had to know more.
EuroTripper 2014 from Ethan Watson on Vimeo.
Last year, I flew down for the first year of Euro Tripper. With its success, I was stoked to go back this year. Hosted at the Germain Arena in Estero, Florida, It's a great get away from the cold north during February. Paul Barney, the lead organizer of the show donates the profits made to an animal shelter in need, Brookes Legacy Animal Rescue. Here's our official video coverage from the show! Keep an eye out for our photo coverage, coming soon.
Thank you to everyone that supported the show this year, and enjoy the video!
In the scene today a lot of people claim to love their car. The same can be said for those involved in the ever exploding Ruckus scene. The owners boast about their builds and typically their love is nothing more than mere infatuation. For one owner in particular his love is real, and now not only rules his hobby but also his work life. Kam Vaswani knew after building his 2009 Honda Ruckus that he was hooked and had to have more, and after getting a job at the famous RuckHouse in Orlando, Florida he would get his chance with a brand new build.
In the Volkswagen and European car scene it's pretty common to see the typical Golfs and Jettas getting all the attention and aftermarket support from manufacturers. It's when cars such as the lesser common Volkswagen family members hit the scene in such a radical way that really makes peoples heads turn. Jeremy's claim to fame resides in the sneaker community with his wild array of shoes, and it's only fitting that his car makes a bold statement as well. His Volkswagen CC R-Line has taken grasp of our attention and will not let go, this thing is a stunner!

Canibeat: Web Picks #1
From time to time I like to check out The Canibeat Flickr Group to see what photographers are up to and producing. Here are a few of my current favorite picks in a segment I like to call Around The Web… enjoy!
Tupac Shakur, in a 1996 interview with San Francisco's KMEL, responded to a question regarding the balance of his challenges and successes with the declaration, "I'm a reflection of my community". Community is a topic that gets thrown around a lot nowadays, as many of us find ourselves isolated in our online lives, trying to find real connections amongst hundreds of thousands of Facebook friends and Instagram followers.

This Dack Ralter action figure was released during the Power Of The Jedi toy line as a pack-in figure together with a Snowspeeder and a Luke Skywalker action figure. The set was a Walmart exclusive in 2002. Dack Ralter is Luke Skywalker's Snowspeeder gunner pilot and can be seen in The Empire Strikes Back during the Battle Of Hoth.
The figure has a total of 6 joints and is based on the POTF2 Luke Skywalker X-Wing pilot figure from 1995. Since there are no ankle or knee joints, the figure stands a little shaky, but both feet have peg holes, so Ralter can be placed on a stand. Dack's head is new, and it has Dack's Snowspeeder helmet molded on top of it. So, it's all one piece, therefore you can't remove the helmet. The cable which runs from the chest box into the flight suit is removable on both ends. There were no accessories included with Dack.
Dack Ralter's paint application is cleanly applied with no smudges or paint errors, and the flight suit is kept in a pristine condition without any dirt or battle markings. The head sculpt is new, but feels a little bit too small compared to the rest of the body. The body mold has the POTF2 typical buffed-up Schwarzenegger look, which feels very outdated compared with modern Star Wars figures. All in all, it's a below average figure with no accessories, and if you don't have to own every single figure, you can easily skip this one.
