SEEKONK -- Athletic Director Ray Grant claimed elation at Seekonk High Schoolãs hiring of a new varsity football head coach.
Principal Marcia McGovern took Grantãs recommendation and chose Vernon Crawford, a former New England Patriots linebacker/special teams player, to be the mentor, she announced Friday morning.
Crawford, 37, of Attleboro, will replace Jack Whalen, who had been arrested earlier this year on a driving under the influence charge and subsequently dismissed. Grant indicated the approximate six-week search ã one conducted by a committee of administrators and staff ã included interviews with eight applicants.
ãIãm really excited about him leading our program,ã Grant said Friday afternoon. ãIãm more excited for the kids, and I think heãs going to be great for the community ãÎ It would be very hard for anyone to look at his resume and not be impressed.
ãHeãs played football at the highest levels of the sport, both in college and the pros,ã he added. ãObviously, when youãre looking at the resumes, we had some terrific applicants. It was the best pool of applicants for any coaching position Iãve seen in my seven years here as the A.D.
ãOn top of his credentials, when you meet him, heãs a genuine person. You get the feeling he truly cares about the kids, and truly wants to teach them not only the fundamentals of football, but also the life lessons that go with it.ã
When reached by phone later Friday, Crawford revealed he was floored when he received on Thursday a call from Grant, one stating he had been chosen.
ãI wanted to talk it over with my wife (of eight years, Tuera, and his two sons, Cleveland White, 18, and Vernon Crawford III, 6), but she already new I was going to take it; I just wanted to make sure it was OK,ã he laughed. ãIãm thrilled by the decision. I applied for the job in late February, and I didnãt even know it was open. I didnãt know what had happened (with Whalen) until the interview. I asked why it was open, because I knew the worst Seekonk had done the last few years was 5-5.
ãI just wanted to come back to (coaching) high school football,ã he added. ãI love the age level because of its purity. The kids have a passion to play, and I believe I have the tutelage and knowledge to help these guys learn the game, and also life lessons in the process. Thatãs what football teaches you ã when you get knocked down, you get back up. You donãt lay down on the field, and you donãt lay down in life.ã
Crawford, a grid star from a young age, graduated from Texas City (Tx.) High in 1993, then trekked to the Community College of San Francisco, where he earned his Associateãs in 1995. After that stint, he was recruited by legendary head coach Bobby Bowden to play at Florida State University in Tallahassee, where he helped the Seminoles achieve a No. 3 national ranking as a junior and senior.
He not only played in two Sugar Bowls, but also was selected ESPN Football Commentator Lee Corsoãs College Football Special Teams Player of the Year his final season. Crawford earned a Bachelorãs in criminology in 1997, but ã just a month before ã was drafted in the fifth round by the Patriots.
He was named to the NFL All-Rookie special teams players list that fall. He played three seasons (1997-99) for then-head coach Pete Carroll, recording a total of 32 special teams tackles, but closed his career in Green Bay after suffering a hamstring injury in the home opener against Miami.
ãI knew I was hurt, but you just do what you must to remain on the field,ã Crawford said. ãI tried to play through it, but couldnãt.ã
He later tried the short-lived Xtreme Football League, and played in a few games, then attempted to become an NFL free agent, ãbut that didnãt work out.
ãIn 2002, I wasnãt exactly sure what I wanted to do after playing; I retired, but I wanted to do something affiliated with the game,ã he offered. ãI was living in Quincy, and a friend of mine was a coach who did some South Shore (of Boston) camps, and he asked me to help. One of the coaches there noticed how intrigued the kids were with me, and it just happened to be John Lee, the Walpole head coach. He was a legend there in the ã80s.
ãHe told me, ãI love the way you relate to the kids,ã and asked me to join him, which I did,ã he continued. ãIt was a great fit. I guess he liked the way I motivated the kids to love the game.ã
Crawford spent a season there, then became Randolph Highãs defensive coordinator for three years. He later took the reins from 2007-08, and has spent the last three at Curry College.
Former New England linebacker Mosi Tatupu helped him get the job.
ãHe was my buddy,ã he said of the late Tatupu.
ãIn any community, the goal is to mold kids to be great young men, great leaders, and the way to do that is to have different ways of team building, just little things like getting the kids into public speaking, to speak up in front of the team and know your teammates will listen.
ãWhen we win the state championship, I want these kids to be able to speak to the sports broadcasters and in front of an audience,ã he added.
When asked if he was jumping the gun, he insisted, ãIãm just speaking the truth. I donãt think ãlater,ã never have. Iãm always thinking about right now.
ãI mean, last year, our team was 5-5 and 3-4 (in the South Coast Conference), and you just have to beat the Warehams, Bournes, Old Rochesters and Dighton-Rehoboths of the world. This is a good conference weãre in, and weãre right there in the middle of the pack. I just want every player to expect to accomplish big things. I truly think we can take it to another level.
ãMost of the games we lost, we were right in them; it couldãve been just a play here or there, or a turnover, and the result wouldãve been different. Iãm just grateful to coach a bunch of great kids. I want to feed off them just like they feed off me.ã
He explained he wants his Warriors to be successful, and ã if they have the talent ã move on to play in college. It doesnãt matter what level.
ãI also will stress grades,ã he claimed. ãMy son (Cleveland, 18, an Attleboro High senior) will be going to Wesleyan University in the fall, and thatãs a phenomenal school. I believe thatãs a testament to his mother and me. I value character and education, and I also love football, but it all has to come together. You canãt have one without the other.ã
Heãs not quite sure who he will name to his staff, as heãs still interviewing current assistants.
ãTheyãve all got to be on board with what I want to sell, and that includes the players,ã he stated. ãI will say this: A lot of freshmen will be working out with (the varsity) early on to get acclimated to my system. Iãve already called officials with the High School Player Development Camps around southeastern New England to see if I can get our kids in them, hopefully in June.
ãThatãs the way a lot of players can get out there and tune up their fundamentals; I want to get them involved,ã he added. ãWeãre going to have fun, and there will be discipline, but itãs all about making them not only great players but great men.ã

Judged: 1 Do you really think I need a lesson in insults? I meant CN is beneath you and Synergy in intelligence. Not as a person. When all you have to reply to him is one word insults it shows a total lack of compassion to his point of view. I have very little compassion for anyone. Mainly just children. |
Judged: 2 1 1 For you to use that name as your ID is an insult to him, because you're a dummy. You better hope nothing happens to this great nation. If it does I bet you'll become real submissive real quick. For anyone to try and justify abortion as a woman's right is complete stupidity. What about a baby's right to live? |
Since: Nov 08 13,597 Location hidden |
I'm going to jump in here. I have given the one or two word replies, so I'll answer. Obviously, you've not read CN's posts. For you to even suggest that a conservative show HIM compassion is reprehensible. I have absolutely NO COMPASSION for his point of view. Are you for real?????? |
If there were no people like him. Then who would you have to argue with? Is everyone that doesn't agree with you a troll? |
We are one nation under god. |

You OBVIOUSLY have NOT read HIS posts. I am beginning to think that YOU are CN. You are deliberately being obtuse. I am going to be just as ridiculous as you. Yes, EVERYONE who doesn't AGREE with me is a TROLL. There. MOVE ON. Sheesh... |
He is a troll and so are a couple of more on here. He is just plain nasty. |
You're as hard headed as they come to the point of being absurd. Guess you can't teach an old dog new tricks. Sheesh... |

Judged: 1 1 1 I'm hard headed because you are being impossible? Just move on. I'm not an OLD DOG, however, YOU are being a JERK. Here is an idea. Why don't you ask CN to show some compassion? What a novel idea. Yes. Post to CN that he should show some of the compassion that you are so h*ll bent on to the conservatives. Can't wait! |

Judged: 1 1 The whole point of the First Amendment was that no one religion would be considered the STATE religion - as the Church of England was the state religion of England and enjoyed privileges above other religions. The letter from Jefferson from which the "wall of separation" quotation is lifted is to a group of Baptist ministers who feared a state religion would be established in the United States. His point was to assure them that people would be free to worship as they please. No where is there intent that the First Amendment requires that the public arena be "free from religion" - which is the tack so many of the Left try to take. In "Notes on the State of Virginia" he asks "Can the liberties of a nation be secure when we have removed a conviction that these liberties are the gift of God?" As president he signed bills appropriating funds for chaplains in the military and in Congress. Freedom OF religion - absolutely. Freedom FROM religion - a complete twisting of intent. |
Well you must be him then, just posting under different aliases. It is just totally uncalled for. |
That would be from the 1954 revision of the Pledge of Alligence, just a tad later than the US Constitution which is the founding document of this country. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pledge_of_Allegi... The Pledge of Allegiance was written in 1892 by Francis Bellamy (18551931), who was a Baptist minister, a Christian socialist,[3] and the cousin of socialist utopian novelist Edward Bellamy (18501898). (American Exceptionalism) Prior to February 1954, no endeavor to get the Pledge officially amended succeeded. The final successful push came from George MacPherson Docherty. Some American presidents honored Lincoln's birthday by attending services at the church Lincoln attended, New York Avenue Presbyterian Church by sitting in Lincoln's pew on the Sunday nearest February 12. On February 7, 1954, with President Eisenhower sitting in Lincoln's pew, the church's pastor, George MacPherson Docherty, delivered a sermon based on the Gettysburg Address titled "A New Birth of Freedom." He argued that the nation's might lay not in arms but its spirit and higher purpose. He noted that the Pledge's sentiments could be those of any nation, that "there was something missing in the pledge, and that which was missing was the characteristic and definitive factor in the American way of life." He cited Lincoln's words "under God" as defining words that set the United States apart from other nations. President Eisenhower had been baptized a Presbyterian very recently, just a year before. He responded enthusiastically to Docherty in a conversation following the service. Eisenhower acted on his suggestion the next day and on February 8, 1954, Rep. Charles Oakman (R-Mich.), introduced a bill to that effect. Congress passed the necessary legislation and Eisenhower signed the bill into law on Flag Day, June 14, 1954.[17] Eisenhower stated "From this day forward, the millions of our school children will daily proclaim in every city and town, every village and rural school house, the dedication of our nation and our people to the Almighty.... In this way we are reaffirming the transcendence of religious faith in America's heritage and future; in this way we shall constantly strengthen those spiritual weapons which forever will be our country's most powerful resource, in peace or in war."[18] The phrase "under God" was incorporated into the Pledge of Allegiance June 14, 1954, by a Joint Resolution of Congress amending §4 of the Flag Code enacted in 1942. ...One objection[22] states that a democratic republic built on freedom of dissent should not require its citizens to pledge allegiance to it, and that the First Amendment to the United States Constitution protects one's right to refrain from speaking or standing (also a form of speech).[21] Another objection lies in the fact that the people who are most likely to recite the Pledge every day, small children in schools, cannot really give their consent or even completely understand the Pledge they are taking. |
I'm promise you I'm not him. I don't even like Columbus. |
Without God there will always be something missing. It's our duty to teach them to understand the pledge they are taking and if you don't consent to it you're not an american. |

Remember how you earned the name you post under? |
I was in public elementary school prior to the Supreme Court's ruling on daily devotionals, when Christian Prayer was read over the PA System for the benefit of all. The Christian Majority in the school district felt secure in the privileges they enjoyed as sanctioned by the state. Even as a tyke, I wondered how my Jewish classmates felt under this daily reminder that they were different and not included in these daily prayers. "No where is there intent that the First Amendment requires that the public arena be "free from religion" - which is the tack so many of the Left try to take." Now you've changed the argument, in the previous post you made reference to Freedom from Religion, which is not the same as making the public arena be "free from religion". Freedom from Religion is they very point that Jefferson is discussing in the quotes I supplied: It does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are 20 gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg. -Thomas Jefferson Religious institutions that use government power in support of themselves and force their views on persons of other faiths, or of no faith, undermine all our civil rights. -Thomas Jefferson, letter to Danbury Baptists Which is the very condition that exists when schools promote prayer, or when public property is turned over to religious displays during religious holidays. Providing Chaplins in the Military or Congress to meet to the needs of adults is not quite the same thing. .......... In "Notes on the State of Virginia" he asks "Can the liberties of a nation be secure when we have removed a conviction that these liberties are the gift of God?" Putting this quote in context it appears that Jefferson was referring to that peculiar southern institution. Besides the personal religious convictions of any single person are not the issue, Freedom of Religion means one god, many gods, or no god, the state should not promote any position. Course the reality is that religion is a powerful tool and personal convictions that are so clear to each of us must surley be of equal benefit to others, if only they could see The Truth. http://www.monticello.org/site/jefferson/quot... "For in a warm climate, no man will labour for himself who can make another labour for him. This is so true, that of the proprietors of slaves a very small proportion indeed are ever seen to labor. And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are the gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with his wrath? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just: that his justice cannot sleep for ever ...." - Notes on the State of Virginia, Query XVIII |
So, for more than 150 years, from 1789 until 1942 when the Pledge of Alligence was adopted by Congress, there were no True Americans. Now some might ask why is it necessary to take a Pledge of Alligence, why is good citizenship not enough to prove support of the Republic. Words are just words, but deeds prove the point, Freedom Fries come to mind. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Co... The Constitution was adopted on September 17, 1787, by the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and ratified by conventions in eleven states. It went into effect on March 4, 1789. The United States Constitution can be changed through the amendment process. Constitutional amendments are added to it, altering its effect. The first ten amendments, ratified by three-fourths of the states in 1791, are known as the Bill of Rights. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pledge_of_Allegi... The United States Congress officially recognized the Pledge for the first time, in the following form, on June 22, 1942: I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. |

- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 teaspoon curry powder
- 1/8 teaspoon each ground ginger, garlic powder and pepper
- Scrub beets and trim tops to 1 in. Place in a Dutch oven; add water to cover. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, 30-60 minutes or until tender. Remove from the water; cool.

Louis Garneau Pilot LE Bib Shorts $159.95
Forego complexity.
There's something to be said for simplicity in design. Often, it seems that manufacturers get so caught up in trying to design the 'ultimate,' that they forget what they originally set out to accomplish. The results can be ridiculously complex and overbuilt to the point where more actually becomes less. This is not often the case with the good folks at Louis Garneau. Most of their designs attack a problem in its simplest form, with outstanding results. Case in point—the Pilot LE Bib Short.
Starting with the basic construction, Garneau made Pilot LE bib shorts from a well-positioned blend of Lycra Power, Lycra Pro, and Power Mesh. For compressive support, Lycra Power has been placed at various points on the legs of the shorts. Basically, this fabric features more Lycra fibers per ounce/square yard than typical Lycra compositions. So, the material provides an elastic hold on your muscle groups, supporting and shielding them from oscillation and road vibration. This results in a decrease in overall muscle fatigue, while also, according Garneau, a 10 to 20% improvement in blood circulation.
And when the aforementioned is paired with the Lycra Pro material, the shorts give a heightened level of recovering stretch to ensure your freedom of movement. Further ensuring this characteristic, Garneau designed the shorts with a seamless inner-leg and a ten-panel construction. This not only leads to an increase in flexibility, but, more obviously, it lends itself to eliminating abrasion. Garneau even took this concept a step further by only using flatlock stitching throughout the shorts and uppers. However, all the while, both fabrics possess an extraordinary ability to manage moisture. This means that riding with damp legs after 40k is now a thing of the past.
Securing the Pilot LE's precise fit took a few steps. First, was the compressive fit. Secondly, Garneau included its Powerbands at the leg cuffs. These provide a strong, no-slip hold on the legs, but they also reduce pressure on the lower legs in order to avoid inhibiting a proper circulation. Next, Garneau constructed the bib straps from Power Mesh, while adding a stretch trim to ensure flexibility. These straps not only hold the position of the shorts, but with their moisture wicking composition, they also aid in pulling perspiration away from the back and torso.
Lastly, Garneau further ensured your comfort by incorporating its Airgel chamois. This insert places an emphasis on comforting support, breathability, and moisture management. To achieve this, the portions of support density are comprised of perforated gel inserts. This allows the chamois to adapt to pressure without sacrificing its supportive qualities. Additionally, the perforation increases the gel's breathability, preventing buildups of heat, and accordingly, eliminating hot spots.
The Louis Garneau Pilot LE Bib Shorts are available in seven sizes from X-Small to 3X-Large and in the color Black/sky blue.

MathOverflow is a remarkable recent platform for research level questions and answers in mathematics. Joe O'Rourke have asked over MO wonderful questions. (Here is a link to the questions) Many of those questions can be the starting point of a research project usually in discrete and computational geometry and sometimes in other areas. Many of the questions remained open, quite a few have led to definite quick solutions, and for many others substantial answers were offered. Usually Joe's questions (and also his MO answers) contain beautiful and illuminating pictures. Amog the highlights: Joe's question on Billiard knots; a poetic question about "light reflecting off christman-tree balls"; rolling a random walk on a sphere – with a definite answer by S. Carnahan; Pach animals of high genus; Fair irregular dice (with a nice answer by Bill Thurston); Parabolic envalope of fireworks; Coiling rope in a box; A convex polyhedral analog of the pentagram map ; Random-polycube-shapes ; Which convex bodies roll along closed geodesics and many more. The 100th question is The rain hull and the rain ridge.

This is a Stargate built by a father/son duo to add some much needed ambiance to their backyard. Sure beats the hell out of a koi pond! This awesome homemade Stargate was built by a father and son in Australia out of wood, coat hangers, tubing and styrofoam. Good lookin', gu... / Continue →
I know it's hard to tell from the picture, but the full model is actually over 7-feet long (for comparison, my penis is only two-and-a-half). That's a big ship. The 135-pound replica was built by LEGOmaniac Adrian Drake over 475-hours spanning 21-months and using nearly 70,00... / Continue →
This is a worthwhile gallery of sci-fi movie scenes recreated with minimal LEGO pieces as part of the "Mi-Fi" contest run by The Living Brick. As you can see, everybody did a really amazing job. Me? I do a f***ing terrible job, which is why I've been fired eight times in the... / Continue →

Great product for the price, the description was true to form and no issues at all with quality. Easy assembly with minimal extra tools needed.
Unfortunately this piece was not up to my expectations. The holes didn't line up properly, the top piece was chipped, and the instructions were terrible. The doors on the front don't close properly because the magnets are predrilled to not connect. Very disappointed with how hard it was to assemble when the predrilled holes didn't match up.
After my husband assembled it, we moved it to the garage because of the odor! While it was out there, it was covered with flies! Thankfully, after washing it with water and baking soda, the smell faded. We brought it in the house, and now we love it. It had some damage to it, right on the front top, but we needed to use it and didn't have time to box it up and ship it back, so we just shrugged our shoulders, and said, OH WELL. Sometimes damage happens, and that's the way it is. If you buy this, I would suggest you open the box outside, or in a separate place, OTHER than your home, and leave it a couple of days. Then wash it first or sprinkle baking soda on it, AND THEN put it in your room. I've never smelled that odor before, but it was HORRENDOUS!!! If I can post a picture of the damage on here, I will.
We purchased this to sit next to our fireplace in our very small living room. Its compact size is great with mirrored front to make a small space look bigger. It is a sturdy little piece. super easy to put together. I did it myself in about 45 minutes. Some of the easiest to understand directions I have ever read for build out. What I was most impressed by was how sturdy and well made the piece is and how much storage is underneath. You can fit two rows of DVD's on each shelf. Overall very pleased!

Using Predictive SEO
All too often companies and business are left trailing behind because they've not managed to use a system known as 'Predictive SEO' to enable their page rankings too improve.
If your website sells and promotes a line of clothing for example, you're going to need to know what's changing in the world of fashion so you can prepare yourself for 'The next big thing'.
If you're not aware that yellow scarves are going to be the height of fashion next spring and summer, when the time comes businesses and companies who have prepared themselves and have already used the keyword 'yellow scarves', for example, are going to get ahead in the page ranking battle.
Predictively Picking Keywords
If it's your job to get your business the best ranked pages, then you're going to need to be one step ahead of the game. Market researchers are always on the lookout for competition, for the product that everyone needs and everyone wants. If they realize these yellow scarves are going to be insanely popular come spring and summer, not only do they need to make sure they stock enough of this product, but that people realize they stock them too.
So how can this be done?
How do you let everyone know you're selling the accessory they're looking for?
It's easy, you do this by predictively picking keywords that will be typed into search engines in the spring and summer, and you do it now.
If you wait until everyone else picks up on this, you won't stand a very good chance of being noticed. Even if you have hundreds of keywords added to your website and links to your website, the chances are, someone else has done the same.
It's Not Just About Yellow Scarves
Ok, so it's not just about yellow scarves, they won't be the only fashionable accessory next spring and summer. They won't be the only thing that's catching peoples' eyes and making them want to part with their cash.
Whatever the next big thing happens to be, you need to get one step ahead of the game and prepare yourself as soon as you can.
The earlier you get started, the more prepared you will be. So, you need to add the keywords to your website, your blogs and anywhere else online that you promote your products. You need to start adding the keywords now.
The biggest fashion retailers probably get tens if not hundreds of thousands of hits a day, so it's up to you to compete with them. No matter what you sell or what service you provide you need to make sure you give yourself a better chance of competing with the bigger multi-national companies that everyone's heard of.
While you may think it's impossible to compete with million dollar business, it's something you can achieve.
Do Your Research
Do your research, find out what's going to be popular in the next six months or even in the next 12 months and use this to your advantage. No-one gets anywhere fast if they don't research the market. If you don't know ahead of time what people want, you're not going to be able to get those keywords in place when you need to, and you're probably not going to be able to order enough stock either.
This form of research works for almost every kind of service and business. There's always going to be some sort of pattern that emerges and grows.
For example, last year a company I worked for promoted a natural sweetener. This product was just about to come onto the market and it was all quite new and exciting because of the health benefits that came with using the sweetener rather than regular sugar. This natural sweetener didn't have all of the junk in it that can be quite bad for you.
The market researchers who worked for 'Health Products A' had the foresight to predict this sweetener was going to become massively popular, which meant they were able to do something about it.
Keywords were constructed and used to promote the website. As the public heard more and more about the 'Revolutionary new sweetener', they became more interested and as it tasted good, people were happy to use it. When the relevant keywords were typed into various search engines, a link to 'Health Products A' was displayed on the very first search engine results page (SERP).
Global companies are now selling this sweetener or adding it to their products, while their websites continue to move up the SERPs. 'Health Products A', a somewhat smaller company is continuing to benefit from ranking very high up, and they will continue to do so as long as they take into account the patterns that emerge and grow.
Keep At It
Although achieving the top spot in SERPs is everyone's dream, it won't last long if you fail to add the keywords everyone's using and correctly SEO your pages. Although multiple hits to your site or sites will indeed help, you will have some pretty stiff competition out there.
Keep adding those keywords to your websites, keep doing your best to promote your product or service so you stay on the first search engine results page. While you're there, think about the new keywords you need to add to your site so you can begin promoting next years' must-haves.
An Added Bonus
When you've reached the very first SERP, you'll get a bit of an added bonus. All those companies that you've left trailing behind will now start to look to you for examples of keywords. They will have a look and see what you're doing well and how they can benefit from doing the same. This means more traffic and better page metrics, which will in turn help to keep you up there on the very first page.
When it comes to using predictive SEO to help you achieve your desired goals, you need to get your foot in the door. You need to start making these predictions as soon as you can so your business shines. The more hits you get the more likely your page will be seen, which means your business will get a lot more customers and your profit margins could increase exponentially.
Use predictive SEO as soon as you can and give your business the boost it needs.

Here's an interesting rumor I saw over at rebelscum.com. Plus the EE3? Very interesting...
Printable View
Here's an interesting rumor I saw over at rebelscum.com. Plus the EE3? Very interesting...
Now the question is...... who gets one first, me or my 5 year old son? LOL
If you buy it for "your son" you'll probably get less **** about buying it...now the dissecting part thats another story probably
Those helmets are a lot of fun for kids, but lousy if you are serious (ie a big kid / adult). My son has the trooper and the Vader.
Yeah, my son and my nephews should go wild over them. Even they know Boba is the coolest. ;)
I sure hope they do the ESB style! Stay tuned I guess...
ESB helmet and ROTJ blaster...... cause everyone knows SE Fett is the coolest way to go. lol
Lol, better helmet, better armor. Makes me wonder why i'm going straight ROTJ.
i'd be pulling that helmet apart for the voice changer and sticking it in my own bucket.
Will be awesome for folks trying to do buckets on the cheap. Far better looking than a rubies I'm sure. My hasbro clone bucket was easy enough to make look good.
I'm guessing it will be the voice of the voice actor who does the voices for the clones on TCW. I do believe this is going to be connected to the TCW line of products as a young Boba Fett is supposed to appear in season 3.
Pictures available!
It's ESB. :D
I'm the hunter, you're the prey
I'm Boba Fett, you may have heard of me?
You can run, but you can't hide
Surrender, or face disintegration...
You have not seen the last of me
Thanks papamurf. Although, very sad, not one actual movie phrase. :(
Funny thing is it looks better than the rubies helmet
That leads me to believe (or at least hope) for two things.
Either those are just temp quotes so they could fill the box art or.. Boba Fett appears in the Clone Wars and those are some of the things that he says. Which would be interesting and would mean that Boba would wear ESB in The Clone Wars. We'll have to see though.
Just want to add that a gun is blacked out on the bottom of the box. It could be the EE-3. And on a side note, this thing would be difficult to mod for costume use because you would have to resculpt the cheeks entirely due to the bigger visor.
Boba does go and try to kill mace windu before ROTS sometime...might make an appearance?
Yeah, I'm thinking those are his CW phrases, which is a good thing cause he'll get good screen time. Of course, looks like he'll be stuck wearin that girlie ESB suit. LOL :P
That's exactly what I thought Fett4Real. Great minds... ;)
So this is getting interesting I suppose.
How firm is the news about Boba appearing in TCW season 3?
And Sonik, where did you see the info re: the quotes? Good find. I wonder why they wouldn't mix in a movie quote... oh well...
I read it on the box, ex-sniper, 20/15 vision. Gave me a helluva headache, though. Also, the box says that the RF lights work, and it has a voice amp feature.
The visor being widened for kiddie play has resulted in a visor frame that is waaaaaaaaay too high vertically. To mod it, you'd have to completely cut out the cheeks, move the cheek curve up to where it should be, and that will go up past the bottom edge of the visor opening, which will screw up the helmet's structural integrity... Yeah, no. Pity. After how good a starting point the Clone helmet was, I was hoping for better with this one. :(
lmao!!! "You woulda dug it tha most!" "Hey, what's with all tha clo-,there's more comfortable."
The mockup was the "helmet" displayed in the box (which was also a mock up). This is the real deal. Compare to any of the originals. Here's the ESB:
You know those cardstock helmets people make using the WoF templates? Depending on the size, the top bowl might be useful for that. Shame they made the visor "kid safe". ; ;
The Visors no different in the EYE area than the Rex helmet theres probably some sort of safety Standard they have to obey.
Here's a real quick mock up done by a guy over at Mercs. Useable for a Fett build... no, not an adult or a TDH/501st quality kit. Useable for a custom Mando, sure.
As you can see from this Rebelscum eyewitness report the EE3 will be made!
Scroll down to the bottom of the page. No pics though... yet... ;)
I am soooo picking up two of these. One for the wifes mando and one for mine.
Check this out
Please tell me you guys watched that video.......This guy obviously has no idea what he is talking about.....Did you hear how he pronounced Boba....LOL!!!!!!! The toys look cool though...My son already wants that AT-AT
Thats cool! Am sure some people gonna change there Boba helmets anytime soon now!
The AT-AT was sweet, I'm sure it's gonna cost $100 + though lol. But what I REALLY want is the Cpt. Rex that was standing behind the AT-AT walker.
I live close to the Gulf Coast and I jetski alot, I think I'll rob the electronics out of it and wear it riding my sea-doo :wacko.
Nice vid, but the guy narrating the video is a tool. lol
Oh man, a little more research into these announcements and things yielded info on a new Slave 1 lego set for August 2010... complete with a redesigned Boba Fett, Bossk, Han Solo and a detailed HiC! So pumped!!
Check this out:
AWESOME!!! Would love to hear the story behind it! SO COOL!!!
http://shop.starwars.com/catalog/pro...ory_id=1306388 releases in August
Thanks F4R.
Actually I meant the story behind Webchief ending up on the box. :)
The artist who was commissioned to do the artwork, Steve Anderson is a licensed Star Wars artist. I happened to be Facebook friends with him and noticed a post by him one day looking for Boba Fett costumers who had hi-res images of themselves in costume. He was tired of working up paintings based off the same photo references that everyone else has used for years. He wanted different poses, etc... Since I had done two photo shoots in my fett costume (this particular photo taken by none other than our very own Art Andrews) I sent them in. Steve loved them and immediately asked me if he could use my pictures whenever he needed Boba to be in a project of his. I agreed and there you have it!
That is so cool! Well, when you want the best... Come to TDH! ;)
Saw these yesterday at T.R.US.. they look quite cute. and the dent looks quite accurate too. lol
Cool; I think I read that they should appear stateside sometime early August; anyone seen any in the US yet?
MJF, the EE3 is supposed to be coming out also... did you happen to see it at TRUS?
Nah I didn't mate, altho I was too busy playing.. er I mean studying the Voice changer lid. :lol
I'm looking forward to customizing this helmet. I bought the Hasbro Rex helmet and I customized it. Some were upset that I messed around and merged a clone helmet with Mando armor but once I get this helmet I think I will be ok.

My mod- http://hphotos-snc3.fbcdn.net/hs546...._7974329_n.jpg
I know it doesn't look all that great but I'm still new and will be attempting to do better.

A federal employees union wants to prove that Americans see its members as vitally important to the nation and not a drain to be cut as the government grapples with diminishing funds.
The National Treasury Employees Union, along with the polling firm Ipsos Public Affairs, surveyed 1,000 adults in August and found the people believe the government needs to commit more resources and manpower to areas, such as food safety, veterans' assistance, and nuclear safety, according to the survey results released Aug. 20. Specifically, Americans would like to spend more on:
However, NTEU President Colleen Kelley said the survey results might have been different if the union had not picked high-profile programs. "Maybe with a generic phrase it might have changed the results," she acknowledged during a conference call Aug. 20.
Forty percent of respondents were unaware that federal employees have gone through a two-year pay freeze and that there have been no recent increases in retirement contributions for new employees. Kelley said the federal employees are viewed too often as the "piggy bank" when the government needs to find money.
Kelley said NTEU's efforts to raise awareness are not aimed less toward the November elections and more toward funding decisions the White House and Congress are making now.
The government faces sequestration, which will cause drastic cuts in funding. The Obama administration is pushing for more cuts to spending in the fiscal 2014 budget plans, including 10 percent in IT spending cuts. Leading into fiscal 2013, House and Senate leaders have agreed to a continuing resolution to fund the government for several months. Details will come in September when Congress returns from its August recess. And so far, no fiscal 2013 appropriations bills have passed the Senate.
With the debates happening now, "we wanted this information out there and these facts out there so the public can weigh in on their opinions with the people who are making those decisions," Kelley said.

CD/LP/Track Review
Marcus Persiani: Uptown Suite (2005)
Throughout, Persiani effortlessly juggles two different ensembles while playing music that explores three main themes: his roots in Chicago; his immersion in the Harlem hard bop scene of New York City; and his extensive experience in Latin music, playing with Mario Bauza.
The pianist starts with the funky "Little Chunky," with its comedic, yet thick and contemporary New York vibe, then shifting directions with another whole band on the Latin-inspired "Basta Ya Bata Blues," complete with congas and montuno. He follows with the funky two-step "Stoney Island," a back-beat blues that pays homage to his Chicago roots.
Persiani is joined by noted Philadelphia-born trumpeter, Duane Eubanks for the majority of the recording. Eubanks and Persiani really light it up with burning solos on the up-tempo "Prairie Style." Saxophonists Grant Langford and Peter Brainen also shine, as they lend their considerable skills soloing throughout the disc.
Uptown Suite is an extremely enjoyable disc. Persiani's deep roots in the bebop and hard bop traditions lend a swinging quality throughout, one that is mostly missing with many releases today. With the contemporary edge to his writing, there will, hopefully, be a sophomore release, as Persiani certainly deserves wider recognition.
Track Listing: Little Chunky; Basta Ya Basta Blues; Stoney Island; Waltz for Carmen Miranda; La Mer Viper; Secrets; Mineret; Prairie Style; Shell Reading.
Personnel: Marcus Persiani: piano; Joseph Lapore: bass (1, 3-5, 7, 8); Grant Langford: tenor and soprano saxophone (1, 3-5, 7, 8); Duane Eubanks: trumpet (1, 3-5, 7, 8); David Gibson: drums (1, 3-5, 7, 8); Peter Brainen: tenor saxphone (2, 6, 9); Brad Jones: bass (2, 6, 9); Tony Rosa: congas and batas (2, 6, 9); Vince Cherico: drums (2, 6, 9).
Record Label: Self Produced
Style: Straight-ahead/Mainstream

There is no finer example of simplicity, quality and clay-busting performance than Browning's classic BT-99.

The BT-99 features a back-bored barrel and utilizes the Invector-Plus choke tube system to provide more consistent patterns and reduce felt recoil. The Golden Clays edition of the BT-99 has a gloss-finished walnut stock with an adjustable straight comb and an adjustable GraCoil recoil reduction system.

Phat looking forward to your log.
Phat looking forward to your log.
Ageforce rep, Lets patch up those mistakes and stop going oral.
Knowledge is power- The power to do your part and make a difference.
Just put on my first patch. I will be wearing them as recommended by the package to the left or right of my belly button. Due to my work the wrist and arm wont be feasible. Was wondering about maybe putting them on the top of my feet? The patch sticks to the skin real good, pretty much like a nicotine patch. I am hoping these help with my recovery from workouts as I have been getting my ass kicked in the gym lately lol. Interested to see if the threonine has a calming/relaxation effect on me. Tomorrow I will post some pictures, and starting stats!
I found the foot to be my favorite. Slap it on, throw a sock on, good for the day. For night time applications I either go foot or inner bicep.
Genomyx Rep
Im starting to think FL3X has a foot fetish. Last time I logged patches for Ageforce he wanted me to PM him a pic of where the patch was on my foot. I though it was a strange request but it all makes sense now.
Good luck with your patches I will be starting mine soon as well.
First patch
Evolutionary Muse - Inspire to Evolve
First day of wearing the amino patch is complete. I am VERY impressed with how well it stayed on, all day at work, and then still stayed on through my workout/sauna session!!! Nothing really to report yet, today was a recovery day consisting of:
-Foam rolling
-Swiss ball rolling
-Various stretching
-5 minutes of alternating 100m sprints and ab work
I am surprisigly not very sore from yesterdays workout which was:
-singles of squat up to a 1RM a2g of 365
-30 reps of clean and jerk with 135 as fast as possible (4:44)
About to shower and throw on my 2nd patch!
Ageforce rep, Lets patch up those mistakes and stop going oral.
Knowledge is power- The power to do your part and make a difference.
Subscribed. Good luck!
Welcome! Not too much to report so far. My DOMS is almost non-existent for the workouts I have been doing. I have also been sleeping REALLY good, and dreaming more since I have been using the patches. Applied patch to top of foot last night, I feel the absorption will be better there as it is so innervated as well as having thinner skin there. I am still surprised at how well the patches stick!
I thought I read somewhere that the foot is not a good place or transdermal delivery because of the tissue composition there (low amount of fat perhaps?). I cannot find the source though.
It might be a false memory. In this thread I started about this topic some months ago, there was a lot of support for on-the-foot placement. Place patches on top of feet?
Interesting Cogrick. A couple of things I've noticed since using these Amino Patches:
-Sleep has been AMAZING. I'm not sure what exactly to attribute this to, but the only variable or new thing I have added is the amino patches. I have been having very deep sleep, and dreaming more than I can remember in the last few years.
-Recovery and DOMS has definitely been reduced. My workouts have been pretty brutal lately, and muscle soreness is not near what it should be.
Still very impressed with how well the patches stick throughout the day. Everything is going great so far!
AND back from camping with the wife. Couple of things so far I am noticing:
1. These patches stay on flipping GREAT. While I was camping I would just clean the area with a baby wipe and some hand sanitizer and slap it on. Not only did it stick ALL day EVERY day on my foot, it did this through hiking AND going to the beach. I am ultimately impressed.
2. My mood has been fantastic since starting these patches. Almost a mild euphoric feeling, very relaxed, more calm and collected than usual.
3. Sleep has been great. In the past few years since I have been in the military my sleep is usually pretty terrible. Waking up constantly, having trouble falling asleep, etc. Since I have been using the patches I have been sleeping deep all the way through the night.
4. I not only do crossfit, but also do bodybuilding workouts as well. My DOMS has been next to non-existent, which is very surprising to me.
So far I am loving these patches!
Nice, love to hear that from you.

Nice log. You are wearing them only in the day time, right? I think they have helped my sleep but it is hard to say because my sleep quality is not great. I also think they have enhanced my recovery, but that's along with ginger extract, mass pro synthagen, and some antioxidants.

Has your bank raised fees on checking accounts and ATM transactions?
If so, they're not alone. And apparently customers aren't taking it anymore, either.
A survey by the trade industry group Bankrate.com found that "almost every checking fee we follow went up, with some bank fees rising 25 percent or more."
Free checking accounts are quickly disappearing. Bankrate found that just 39 percent of non-interest checking accounts are free of charge to all customers — down from 45 percent last year and a peak of 76 percent in 2009.
The same group said poll results suggest that 72 percent of Americans would consider switching banks if their financial institution raised its fees. That figure was 64 percent in March 2011.
A fee revolt swept the nation at the end of 2011 when a grassroots campaign — Move Our Money — persuaded many Americans to move their money from big banks to community banks or credit unions. Locally, we saw that campaign make its way here with the Occupy Milwaukee movement. from the once quiet crowd as they began marching down Michigan Avenue.
One way to explore whether or not it's time to change banks is to use online comparison tools, such as FindABetterBank.com or through BankRate.com's comparison charts.

I am new to flex. I have been looking at different examples and have actually managed to build a couple of web applications.
I recently came across The Flex Dashboard example and really like it. I have tried to customized it and I have been able to get the data to the different charts. The problem that I am having is the drilling.
For what I was reading. When you drill in a chart the (on the flex dashboard) the drilled data is randomly generated. I have tried to link this to an acutal xml file and for the life of me cannot figure it out.
Any help is much appreciate it!!!!
I am trying to execute the same dashboard.zip
But i am getting error ----cannot find main.html.
Please guide me ....where i am wrong.
Thanks ,
Here is the link where I donwloaded the dashboard.
the problem that I am having with the drill down is that it is being generated from the original xml file.
for example, Let's say January's value is 1000, it takes the 1000 and distributes it into 30 (30 simulates the days) .
What I need would be to point the drill down to a second xml file that would have all the values for January that make the 1000 not sure if I am explaining my self correctly

Creativity and Lack Thereof Addressed in Two Reports Two government reports were issued in July. One is the 9/11 Commission Report and the other, by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), is entitled Reading at Risk. Not surprisingly, the former report has received much more attention than the latter one. What is surprising, however, is the connection between the two reports. As we all know, the 9/11 Commission Report believes many government agencies and offices were at fault for failing to anticipate and prevent the despicable terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001. The conclusion I find most interesting is the one the report labels "a failure of imagination," implying that the intelligence community could not connect all the evidence on terrorism it had, in part, because of an inability to conceive of the possibility of such a horrific attack. The Reading at Risk report documents that reading literature (novels, poetry, and plays) is in dramatic decline with fewer than half of American adults now reading literature. The steepest rate of decline - 28 percent - occurred in the youngest age groups. Overall, the study finds a 10% decline in literary readers from 1982-2002. Most disturbing about this finding is the weakened capacity among Americans for the "focused attention and imaginative growth" that reading develops. So both reports say something about imagination. One laments its absence and the other documents its decline. Despite this link between the two reports, I doubt we will see a proliferation of bumper stickers any time soon asserting: "Promote Our National Security: Read More Novels, Poems, and Plays." But is that thought so far-fetched? Reading literature is essential to the development of one's imaginative and creative sensibilities. Dana Gioia, Director of NEA, knows what the general collapse in advanced literacy means to American life. "To lose this human capacity [for imagination] – and all the diverse benefits it fosters," he says, "impoverishes both cultural and civic life." Writing in The New York Times Magazine recently, Professor Mark Edmundson persuasively makes the point that literature can profoundly influence individual lives. He relates how the essays of Ralph Waldo Emerson stirred Walt Whitman. Their impact on Whitman accounts for much of his literary transformation. He also notes that similar things happen in the lives of everyday individuals, recalling what it was like for him to read The Autobiography of Malcolm X at age 17. His example struck a chord in my memory. I can still remember when, at 15, I read Black Like Me, John Howard Griffin's compelling book about how he was treated after he "became black" by having the pigment of his skin darkened. The brutality and bigotry of racism that Griffin recounted shocked me into a new level of awareness. The 9/11 Commission report represents an important bipartisan contribution to strengthening national security. Its recommendations will be considered, implemented, and we will move on as a nation. Reading at Risk, I hope, will get the attention it deserves as well. While our national security may not literally hang in the balance if it doesn't, there will be consequences to ignoring its key findings. Because to have a safer, better, and more secure future in America means that we have to imagine both the promise and the threats to such a future. Dan DiBiasio President Wilmington College

Here's wishing the best of luck to new chef Gallagher (the 11th in that role, by my count, since "TJ" himself died in 1994).
If anyone's interested, link below is to an archive of Robert Rich's 20th-anniversary (2002) Voice review of Chez TJ, containing little-known background details. (Robert wrote Voice restaurant reviews 2002-2004. Some are classics, still displayed in downtown restaurant windows.)

The Eastern Shore and Northern Nova Scotia Travel Guide
Fodor's Nova Scotia & Atlantic Canada
Trade Paperback
Plan Your The Eastern Shore and Northern Nova Scotia Vacation
From the rugged Atlantic coastline to the wave-ravaged rim of the Bay of Fundy and the gentle shores of Northumberland Strait, the area east and north of Halifax is characterized by contrasts. The road toward Cape Breton meanders past thinly populated fishing villages and thick forests, whereas Northumberland Strait is bordered by attractive towns and sandy beaches. The Fundy Shore, meanwhile, scores points for dramatic scenery—expect steep cliffs harboring prehistoric fossils and intense tides that draw back to reveal the muddy sea floor.

Ok this might be a dumb question but I feel like I need to ask. I know that Disney offers a switch off in line for families with small children that can't ride, but I have a slightly different question.
I'm going to the World in May with my girlfriend. This is my first time back since I was very young, but she's been many times. There are some rides she won't do. She pretty much hates thrill rides or anything with a drop (Splash Mtn, Space Mtn, Everest, etc.), but I love these. I want to ride them but I don't want to stand in line by myself and she doesn't want to wait for me by herself. Can she just wait in line with me and not ride, just like the other adult would do in the baby swap? I know the lines get long for a lot of these attractions so we don't want to be separated for an hour while I'm just waiting in line.
Last edited by Hitch450; 01-21-2012 at 06:30 PM.
There is a chicken type exit for almost every ride. Some rides like Splash you can just step right through the ride and exit. Raising two kids "Disney" we used many of them through the years.
Some people are like Slinkies.
They aren't really good for anything,
but they still bring a smile to my face when I push them down a flight of stairs.
Friends are Gods way of apologizing to us for our families.
Agreed...most she can exit before loading. If there is ever a question about it, ask the CM.
In addition, Test Track, Expedition Everest and RNRC offer single rider lines that can be faster than the Fastpass line, although not always, and they are not always in use. This can minimize the time she would need to wait for you outside, and get you on the ride faster.
Note that if you wish to use the Fastpass line and she wishes to go with your through the line, she will need a Fastpass as well, even if she doesn't ride in the end.
Website work in progress: WDW Untangled: Fastpass - Rider Switch - ADR Calculator and more
New: Magic Your Way Ticket Price Calculator
Non-WDW: Sci-Fi Storm - SF/Fantasy news
Careful! On some attractions right now that is no longer accurate information. WDW is testing out a new system for baby swap that does indeed require you to exit and re-enter in the Fast Pass line. Time will tell if this will be limited to just the E ticket attractions. Right now the test is being conducted during low guest attendance times. This has the potential to be a pain in the butt in high seasons, waiting for an attraction twice even with a FP on E Ticket attractions.
Child Swap Changes being tested at WDW
Or it could just go away like the FP for the Parade seems to have disappeared.

I'll reply in the other thread about the trial, but here is a stock answer I use about Baby Swap/Child Swap/Rider Switch/etc. as there is inevitably some confusion on the matter. This is independent of trial changes, etc.
Just to avoid any confusion, there are TWO different things that some people refer to as "child swap", "baby swap", etc.
First, there is a formal system in place at most all Fastpass attractions that have a height requirement, called Rider Switch. Follow the link for complete details (and exceptions), but this is what most people will respond with for answers.
Second, at all other attractions, or at the Rider Switch attractions where a child simply chooses not to ride, there MAY be a way to accommodate the situation. However it is different at each attraction because of the different ways loading and unloading are handled which are often in different locations. Ask the greeting CM for what the possibilities are.
No one needed to wait at the exit on the Rider Switch Pass attractions, except for some bizarre reason on occasion at Mission: SPACE which no CM has been able to explain to me. They usually do the standard Rider Switch though. In fact, you can go off and do something completely different while you wait, and use the Rider Switch pass later that day.
On non-Rider Switch attractions, it can work in all sorts of ways because of the differences in the rides.
Now, I do know that at least for a while last year they were experimenting with allowing the family through the Space Mountain line, but then diverting the adult/child waiting to the lounge area for the swap. I've heard very little about it, and since my youngest has since "graduated" from the Rider Switch club, we weren't able to test it ourselves.

Doc... I saw that at Space this past summer though im not clear on what they did if the waiting parent wanted to ride... I haven't hit that point in my life yet so I will have to pay attention next trip as I will eventually need it...

On Space, I used to hang out in the exit and my DS woudl play in the playground while my DW and 2 DDs rode. When they exited, my DDs and I got back in the FP line with our rider swap pass. The girls liked it because they got to ride twice.
Right...with the Rider Switch pass, you could do that, or go do something else with the young one and come back later, etc. Since the Rider Switch pass is good for up to three guests (so the one who waited doesn't need to ride alone), older kids often benefit greatly. My oldest was sad when the youngest was tall enough...
For some reason on occasion, they MAKE you wait right by the exit, and give you the Rider Switch pass AFTER the first group comes out. And THEN you had to go all the way around and get in the FP line. I don't know if that has happened recently though, it was a few years ago.

Just prepare her for the 'chicken exit" walk of shame. I did the chicken exit on space mountain and had to pass all of the people in line just staring as I went by, BUT,, while I was waiting for my family, I had a cheese filled pretzel, a churo, a coke and an a frozen banana! So there!!!!!!
