Got my Eaglemoss Enterprise refit miniature today...quick review and comparison
Got my first Eaglemoss Star Trek Starship today.
Martok2112's review. Comparing the Eaglemoss to the Hot Wheels version.
Yeah, my first Eaglemoss Star Trek die-cast miniature ship arrived today. It wasn't the Galaxy Class Enterprise D like I thought it would be (trying to remember if I actually ordered it....if I did, it may arrive with my next week's shipment, which I think also includes the Klingon Bird of Prey).
I got the refit U.S.S. Enterprise from Star Trek's I through III.
It is a nicely built model. The paint tone is much more in line with what I always wanted to see in a Star Trek miniature....a light gray, as opposed to the bright white of the Hot Wheels Star Trek miniatures that were released a few years ago. The Eaglemoss version is also a little smaller than the Hot Wheels version.
I was mildly disappointed that they did not put the pseudo-Azteca hull paint detail on the ship, (I was hoping to get some good texture photos from this ship) but it is not a deal breaker...especially considering I paid for my first few ships in advance. Then again, this IS a miniature....so such hand painting would've been pretty pain-staking and patience trying, I'm sure. I think other Federation models due to come out are supposed to have the hull pattern, but I won't hold my breath.
It is made up of both die-cast metal and plastic parts. The warp nacelles are plastic, with the warp emitters and the bussard collectors done up in a clear blue plastic, as is the navigational deflector on the secondary hull. They sorta did the same thing with the Hot Wheels Enterprise refit, but only the inboard warp emitters are clear blue plastic, as is the nav deflector. The nav deflector housing also seems a bit more proportionally accurate on the EM version. Photon torpedo tubes are etched into the front of the EM version. There are no torpedo tubes on the HW version, just a flat, painted surface with no detail whatsoever. The bussard collectors on the front of the EM's warp engines are also singular, and not the split design on the actual ship.
I expressed my mild disappontment with the lack of Azteca hull painting, but this ship (EM) is otherwise very well detailed and painted. The lettering on the saucer section is much more accurately scaled than that on the Hot Wheels version....although the Hot Wheels ship does retain the hull lettering at the aft of the bridge module, and the Eaglemoss does not. (Also, in a cute little faux pas on the Hot Wheels version, it would appear that there is an additional phaser bank located on the upper saucer setion, just behind the bridge, along the same latitutde as the actual main phasers.) Window lights are actually painted on the saucer rim of the Eaglemoss (EM) Enterprise, whereas on the Hot Wheels (HW) model, they are indentations in the model itself. The bridge module upper dome and lower sensor domes on the EM are also painted in a light gold. The bridge module on the HW is simple white all around. Both models feature the grey strip that runs the periphery of the bridge module. The impulse deck on the EM is also painted....blue for the implulse deflector crystal atop the engines, and red for the thrusters themselves. The only painted feature on the HW version of the impulse deck is the red impulse thrusters. The reaction control thrusters on the EM are painted on the saucer's topside only, and are merely indentations on the ventral of the saucer. On the HW version, they are etchings in the hull. Phaser emitters are raised only on the lower saucer of the EM, and painted dorsally, but flat. The name Enterprise is seen below the shuttle bay on the HW version, but not on the Eaglemoss...probably because the Eaglemoss version is smaller than the Hot Wheels Enterprise.
Alright, let's keep the review short. The EM model has a lot of painted areas that the HW doesnt. The HW has a lot more etching for its hull detail. Both are nicely done ships, but I have to give more points to the Eaglemoss model for accuracy in detail.
I eagerly await my next ships....especially the Klingon K't'inga class battlecruiser.
Nice little review there Martok, I got the Ent-D EM model a few weeks ago, which I think is very detailed. It's all good solid plastic with I think all the hull lettering, the torpedo launchers funnily enough aren't coloured or anything, the windows again are painted but the escape pods are all embossed, though I don't remember then being so white on the onscreen ship! The ship does have aztecing and is a seamless blend of plastic and metal. The only gaff I've noticed is are the phasers on the top of the snakeshead of the stardrive module - they're the same colour as the transporter emitters (I think that's what they are) and not the dark grey that the rest of the phasers are, also the maneourvering thrusters aren't painted. No real complaints though, it's a lovely model to look at. I'm glad you're enjoying yours!
Personally I'm greatly looking forward to the Nebula and Akira class ships, which I've never owned before.
Thanks for your quickie review on the Galaxy class, Roysten. Sounds like it might be a decent texturing source then, should I decide to build a 3D model of that class of ship.
Yeah, I'm looking forward to quite a few of the models from the Official Starships Collection, many of them are ships that have never been released as models in any form before....at least, not as any models of quality.
I used to have a massive MicroMachines collection of ships from both Star Trek and Star Wars (and heck, even ALIENS). Some ships I had three copies of. They came in handy when my friend and I used to play the old FASA Star Trek Starship Combat Simulator board game.
I think, from Eaglemoss, I have thus far ordered the Galaxy Class, the Excelsior, the Reliant, the K't'inga, and the Defiant. I'm not even sure if I ordered the DS9 replica. But there are supposed to be 65 ships in all, from the movies and all the series (excepting maybe the animated series...since, sadly, it's not considered canon).
I got my Ent-D a couple days ago, and your review is pretty much on the money, Roysten. I think they may have based the paint job either on the ship we saw in Generations, or on the CG version that was seen in the Star Trek: Enterprise series finale.

Four Storm baseball players earn AMCC honors
Another first for the Lake Erie College baseball program, this time as four players earn All-Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference (AMCC) honors, including junior second baseman John Shaposka (Concord, Ohio/Cornerstone) as a first-team selection and junior left fielder Harry Konrad (Mentor, Ohio/Mentor), sophomore designated hitter Ben Reed (Middlefield, Ohio/Cardinal) and freshman third baseman Mario Lombardo (Madison, Ohio/Madison) as second-team picks. Never before has the Storm had more than three players recognized with postseason conference honors.
Shaposka hit .400 this season with 44 hits in 110 at bats. He set a program season record for doubles with 17 and was the team leader in RBIs with a season record 38. He scored 34 runs and had a personal season-best five home runs. He earned AMCC Player of the Week honors earlier this season, with the first-team honor being the first of his collegiate career.
Konrad, another first-time postseason honoree, was an AMCC Player of the Week this year. He hit .381 with a team-high 51 hits in 134 at bats. He scored 34 runs and had 25 RBIs. He set a season record for singles with 35 and also tallied 13 doubles and three home runs.
Reed, who missed 13 games with a broken hand midway through the season, finished the year with a program record .421 batting averaging totaling 48 hits in 110 at bats. He led the team with a .702 slugging percentage and tied the program season record for home runs with eight. He also had eight doubles and 35 RBIs in his second collegiate campaign that included back-to-back AMCC postseason accolades.
Lombardo hit .350 for the Storm with 42 hits in 120 at bats. He racked up 10 doubles and tied the program season record with eight home runs. He also had 29 runs scored and 34 RBIs.
The Storm went 17-27 this season, earning the most wins ever in a season. The team's 10-8 AMCC record was the first above .500 league record in six years of membership. It earned Lake Erie its highest AMCC finish of second place, while also giving the team its first bid to the AMCC Tournament where it won two games.

By PENNY CLUTE The Law and You
---- — There are many circumstances, especially in domestic-violence cases, when a judge will issue a temporary order of protection while a criminal or Family Court case is pending.
And a permanent order may be put in place when the case is concluded.
The purpose of these orders is to address safety concerns for the protected parties. The judge must evaluate whether an order is needed, even in cases where the alleged victim is not requesting it.
The order of protection is the judge's order, a court order — it is not an order between the two people involved in the case. Only the judge can change it.
The person who is protected by the order cannot change it, nor give anyone permission to break it.
If the person who is protected by the order wants it changed or dropped, the request must be made to the judge or the assistant district attorney.
It is very possible that they will not grant the request, as the judge and district attorney have independent responsibilities to assess whether an order is needed for safety.
As long as the order of protection is in effect, any violation of it by the defendant can result in arrest for criminal contempt. This is so even if the protected party allowed the contact.
There are two kinds of orders of protection in New York; read yours carefully.
If it says that you must STAY AWAY from a particular person, that means that you cannot have contact of any kind. This includes no posts on Facebook, no messages through other people, no presents, no responding to requests by the protected person.
If you are the person who the judge issued an order of protection against, then you are the one who can be charged with a crime if the order is violated.
If other people help you violate the order, such as giving messages to the protected party, they can be arrested, too.
It is a mandatory arrest for the police if a defendant is with the victim or at her or his residence in violation of a "stay away" order of protection. The police will enforce the order even if it is claimed that the other person invited the defendant.
The victim/protected party cannot be arrested for violating the order.
If the order tells you to REFRAIN FROM certain behaviors, that means you can have contact but are prohibited from harassing, intimidating, threatening or otherwise committing a crime against the person protected by the order.
Be aware that even a misdemeanor conviction in a domestic violence case can affect your right to have a firearm.
This is an enormous consequence if you are in law enforcement and carrying a weapon is required for your employment; you may lose your job.
Violating an order of protection on top of that, even if it is to plead with the victim to drop the charge, will cause you more problems.
How defendants can avoid problems when there is a stay away order:
▶ Do not assume that you are safe if the victim invites you or contacts you first.
▶ Do not go to places where you know the other person may be. If you realize the person is in the same location, you must leave immediately.
▶ Hang up the phone if the protected person calls you. Record the call, if possible, and tell your lawyer about it.
▶ Do not send letters, emails, texts or other messages to the protected person, and do not respond if that person sends one to you. Give your lawyer any message you receive.
▶ Do not get into arguments with the person's family or friends.
▶ Do not get together with the protected person, even to apologize or to try to work things out, unless you know from court or your lawyer that the judge has dropped the order of protection.
▶ Do not argue with the police. It does not matter if you do not think it was fair for the judge to issue the order of protection or even if the protected person does not want it.
If the judge issued it, you will be committing a new crime if you violate it.
Penny Clute has been an attorney since 1973. She was the Clinton County district attorney from 1989 through 2001, then Plattsburgh City Court judge until she retired in January 2012.CLARIFYING LEGISLATION Both houses of the New York Legislature recently passed bills -- A 6547-B and S 5605 -- making it absolutely clear that a protected party under an order of protection cannot consent to a violation of the order and cannot be charged with its violation. The legislation may be signed by the governor by the end of the year.

CATEGORIES MoviesMoviefone's New Release Pick of the Week "The FP" What's It About? In a hyper-ridiculous society that bares a few similarities to our own, a mysterious eye-patch-wearing hero battles evil gang leaders in "Dance, Dance Revolution"-style combat where only one man walks away. See It Because: Is it cheesy? Absolutely. Is it technically good? Not really. But an over-the-top midnight movie like this is perfect for a get-together with friends.
Moviefone's Blu-ray Pick of the Week "Evita," "Newsies," and "Sister Act 1" & "2" Anniversary Editions What's It About? They were crowd-pleasers then, and they're crowd-pleasers now; four musical hits from the '90s are already eligible for "Anniversary editions." See It Because: They're entertaining as hell. (Also, did we mention you could win all four for free in our giveaway?)
New on DVD & Blu-ray "And Everything is Going Fine" (Criterion Collection) What's It About? Steven Soderbergh's documentary of Spalding Gray, the acclaimed playwright/performance artist who commited suicide in 2004, is a celebratory and bittersweet look into the artist's psyche. See It or Skip It: See it. (Also Available on Amazon Instant Video)
"Big Miracle" What's It About? This true story tale, of a small-town effort to rescue three whales trapped under Alaskan ice, features enough great character actors and better-than-you-expect writing to raise it above schmaltz. See It or Skip It: See it. (Also Available on Amazon Instant Video)
"Cat Run" What's It About? The director of "Into the Blue" and "Blue Crush" makes a crime caper starring the ridiculously sexy Paz Vega that is ridiculously shallow. See It or Skip It: Skip it. (Also Available on Amazon Instant Video)
"Gray's Anatomy" (Criterion Collection) What's It About? Along with "And Everything...," Criterion has re-released Soderbergh's collaboration with Gray: a filmed version of his one-man show dealing with his health problems and his comically neurotic pursuits for alternative medicine. See It or Skip It: See it.
"Jeff, Who Lives At Home" What's It About? A great cast (Ed Helms, Jason Segel) is wasted on another quirky indie movie about old slackers and their views on life. See It or Skip It: Skip it. (Also Available on Redbox DVD & Blu-ray | Amazon Instant Video)
"Project X" What's It About? Making a teen sex party movie by framing it as a found-footage mockumentary, is the perfect way to amplify the R-rated crassness, logic be damned. But the fact that life has imitated art -- and real kids have tried to ape the movie's out-of-control party scenario -- has turned this little comedy into a weird examination of modern teen id. See It or Skip It: See it, for psychological insight. (Also Available on Amazon Instant Video)
"Seeking Justice" What's It About? Nic Cage. Action movie. We thought it was direct-to-video; turns out it wasn't. Yikes. See It or Skip It: Skip it. (Also Available on Redbox)
"Wanderlust" What's It About? It tanked at the box office, and it wasn't as funny as Paul Rudd and director David Wain's last team-up ("Role Models"), but it's funny enough for a viewing. See It or Skip It: See it. (Also Available on Amazon Instant Video)

Ever since cell phones made the transition from irritating chirps to rockin' ringtones, users have been busy downloading their favorite songs. The only problem is that this habit can get a little expensive. If you'd like to save a little money or create a custom sound that no one else could ever duplicate, follow these steps to make your own ringtone.
Step 1 - Download the Ringdroid App
This popular app doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles, but it's easy to understand and gets the job done. Ringdroid is completely free, and more than 250,000 users have used it to create their own ringtones.
Step 2 - Select a Song for the Ringtone
When the app is opened, it scans the SD card for any type of audio files. Select your choice of song or sound, and Ringdroid will take you to the editing screen.
Step 3 - Edit the Song
The editing screen includes a sound-wave graph that provides a visual representation of the file. To select a portion of the song, use the two tabs on either side of the graph to select beginning and ending points. If necessary, use the zooming feature for a more precise choice. When you're done, you can view the playable seconds, listen to the results and adjust your selection if necessary.
Step 4 - Save the Ringtone
When you're satisfied with the results, save your work to the phone. At this point, the phone will ask if you'd like to use your new file as the ringtone. Respond accordingly to complete the process.
Creating Your Own Custom Ringtones
While most smartphone users use prerecorded songs with Ringdroid, custom ringtones are easy to create. To use this option, record your choice of sounds and follow the same set of steps. Whether you save a song from the radio, your own voice or your dog barking, your phone will sound exactly like you want it to whenever you receive a call.
Other Great Ringtone Apps
Here are a few more great ringtone apps you can try instead:
By following these easy steps, you can create an entire collection of ringtones to clearly identify your phone and your personality. If you really enjoy this process, why stop at one or two? With most phones, you can set a different ringtone for each caller. With this plan, call screening will be easier than ever.

There are definetely healh related issues to electro magnetic radiation (=antenna's).
Therefore, there are safe distance limits, see attached file
You're sure that that's "definitely"? I have yet to see anything that indicates that cell phone towers or cell phone use have any impact on humans whatsoever. Yes, there are the occasional "studies" that make the headlines in the main stream media but appear to be mostly questionable interpretation of data junk. I don't buy it. The various government regulations are totally random.
That's why I was interested on any potential harm to the camera gear. I'm not worried about myself.
It's your life, do what you want. But I can tell you from personal experience EM fields can cause health problems: my wife had too high of exposure to one and now gets migraines being anywhere near even very low EM fields. She can't even sit near a desktop computer (with the screen off) for more than about half an hour before she starts to feel ill.

ONEONTA — Joey Kramer and Tim Lawrence scored four goals each as the nationally-ranked No. 20 Plattsburgh State men's lacrosse team cruised to a 16-6 victory at Oneonta in a State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) matchup at All College Field.
With the win, the Cardinals improve to 10-3 overall and 2-1 in the league. The Red Dragons drop to 2-9 and 0-3 in the SUNYAC.
It was a lopsided first half as Plattsburgh State outshot Oneonta 28-12 through the first 30 minutes and took a 7-0 lead into halftime. The Cardinals opened the game with two quick goals from Lawrence and Kramer. Kramer added another at the 1:09 mark of the first quarter before Brendan Damm found the back of the net with one second left in the first.
Lawrence made it 5-0 at 14:11 of the second followed by an unassisted goal by Nick Travers just five seconds later. Brett McClelland wrapped up the scoring in the first half with his 21st of the year at the 11:50 mark.
Back-to-back goals by Damm and Lawrence gave the Cardinals a 9-0 lead in the third before Anthony Pafundi scored on an extra-man opportunity at 4:53 to give Plattsburgh State a 10-0 advantage.
The Red Dragons were finally able to get on the board with 3:23 left in the third, scoring on an unassisted effort by Matthew Knapp.
Kramer opened the fourth quarter with his third of the afternoon but Oneonta scored the next three, including two man-up goals, to gain some momentum late in the game.
Travers turned the tides back in favor of the Cardinals at the 7:02 mark of the final stanza with his second of the day from Cole Andersen. Oneonta would score two more times in the quarter, but four more goals by the Cardinals would put the game out of reach for the Red Dragons.

By John Toole
---- — WINDHAM – Sen. Jim Rausch, R-Derry, said it's unlikely the National Guard will be able to put a $20 million complex on the Applewood golf course property near the crossroads of Route 111 and Interstate 93.
"They will not have the resources to pursue that," Rausch said.
The state would have to come up with $3 million, the value of the property, to reimburse the federal highway fund, he said.
"In this environment, that seems very unlikely," Rausch said.
Gov.-elect Maggie Hassan has told state agencies and departments to set their funding sights lower.
"While we are beginning to see recovery and revenue growth, we will face continued difficult fiscal times in the coming two years," Hassan said. "We must be prepared to continue to make tough, fiscally responsible decisions to ensure that we can invest in our priorities, including protecting the health and safety of our citizens and building an innovative economy that will ensure long-term growth."
Rausch agreed with Hassan's assessment about budget challenges.
"It's going to be a very difficult cycle again," he said.
The national Guard has been evaluating several potential sites throughout the state. In September, Rausch told selectmen the National Guard had rated the Windham property its best option for a facility to maintain vehicles.
Using federal funds, the state Department of Transportation had acquired the 29-acre property for potential use in connection with roadwork. The golf course operator had leased the property.
But DOT no longer needs the land and is trying to sell it. The process requires DOT to offer the land first to town and state agencies, which is how the national Guard became interested.
But opposition surfaced early in Windham. Community leaders have hopes the property, in a prime commercial area, will be developed for business use, create jobs and help out the tax base.
Officials have emphasized they aren't opposed to the National Guard locating in Windham, just not on that particular parcel.
Gov. John Lynn, in a recent interview, said Windham should have a say whether the National Guard establishes a facility in the community.
"I think it's got to be with the support of the local community," Lynch said.
Phillip Miles, chief of property management with the DOT, said the Applewood property is still on the market. The National Guard has not submitted any formal proposal, according to Miles.
The National Guard did not return a phone call.
Developers remain interested in the golf course land.
Karl Dubay, president of The Dubay Group Inc., a Windham-based engineering and planning company, expects a commercial proposal will emerge for Applewood.
"We are working with interested parties on the golf course property," Dubay said Friday.

The parents of 27 year old Jackson paramedic Jennifer Hesselbein talked about their critically injured daughter for the first time Tuesday. Hesselbein's AMR ambulance crew had responded to a call for help on Bullard Street July 31.
While treating an elderly man, a drunk driver slammed into them. Seventy-one year old Jessie Lee Thomas died. The paramedic suffered life threatening injuries.
"She knew the dangers and she loved it. She loved her job she loved helping people." said her father, Forest Hesselbein.
He told us Jennifer is making progress after 5 surgeries in 21 days. They said everything is pretty much fixable, it will take a lot of time and she is a very sick girl. They declined to go into detail about her current condition and injuries.
Forty-four year old Robert Lee Howard,Junior, is charged with aggravated DUI death and aggravated DUI injury.
Jennifer Hesselbein's parents and her fiance are by her side daily.
"We are pressing ahead. Just press on," said Hesserlbein. "We are optimistic she is going to come out of this. We are optimist people and she will recover."
Jennifer's parents have moved here from St. Louis. Her father retired when the tragic accident occurred.
They thanked everyone for the outpouring of support from the Monterey Fire Department where Jennifer volunteered, AMR her employer, to the people of Jackson for their kindness and in particular to UMMC hospital and staff who continue to care for their daughter.

Here's the link to City A.M.'s article Vampire banks versus zombie firms
RBS is acting like a "vampire," sucking the cash out of troubled firms as soon as it becomes available, Lawrence Tomlinson told MPs this afternoon.
Tomlinson caused a storm last year when he published a report into the treatment of small firms by the bank, arguing it took businesses with strong balance sheets and squeezed them hard, ultimately taking their assets and making money for the bank.
He gathered the evidence from 200 firms at the time and more than 1000 since, in his role as the Department of Business, Innovation and Skills' entrepreneur in residence.
He met MPs of the Treasury Select Committee to give more details on the claims that RBS's Global Restructuring Group (GRG) is engineering firms into financial distress. The video is here.
"When your business was moved into the GRG by whatever fashion, you were given perhaps a doubling of the bank's interest rate margin and lots and lots of fees," Tomlinson told the Treasury Select Committee.
"The business becomes strangled. It is frustrating to hear talk on 'zombie firms'. I liken them more to a vampire business – they are kept in the GRG and as soon as they get any cash to invest and grow, it is taken out of them. I have seen firms face charges and fees that are set exactly at the amount that the firms have made." More

Brewers Spring Training preview
Yost gearing up to make Milwaukee a winner again

Maryvale Baseball Park
MILWAUKEE -- Brewers general manager Doug Melvin spent the winter stockpiling a new manager and coaching staff, a handful of pitchers, catchers and outfielders, a new starting shortstop and a new third baseman.
He might also want to check the hardware store for one huge eraser. With Spring Training set to start next week at the club's sprawling spring home in west Phoenix, it's time to wipe the slate clean.
"The true blue fans are very frustrated with the way things have been," said manager Ned Yost, a Brewers reserve in the successful early 1980s. "But even though they are frustrated and mad, I think they're back to seeing a little ray of hope right now. They're excited because it's a new start and a new direction.
"They're willing to give us the benefit of the doubt to see if we can pull off what we're telling them we can pull off. To get that opportunity is really neat."
After 2002, it seems the only way to go is up. Milwaukee was 56-106, its worst season ever. Fans there haven't cheered a winner since 1992. They haven't seen playoff action since Yost wore the uniform back in 1982.
When Yost opens Spring Training at Maryvale Baseball Park he'll preside over a clubhouse full of new faces. Many of them, from holdovers Jeffrey Hammonds and Geoff Jenkins to newcomers Todd Ritchie, Royce Clayton and John Vander Wal, are coming off frustrating seasons and look to bounce back.
If you ask Wes Helms, the new third baseman, Yost won't take long to establish order.
"He's not going to back down from anybody, and if somebody talks bad about the Brewers he's going to get in their face," said Helms, who played under Yost in Atlanta. "He's one of the most positive guys you'll ever meet. He's got a heart as big as a mountain."
Yost's almost rabid intensity makes him a stark contrast to Jerry Royster, who took over from Davey Lopes 15 games into the 2002 season. And his unshakeable optimism makes him different from Lopes, who managed Milwaukee beginning in 2000 and rarely let down his hard-nosed demeanor.
"The organization needs somebody like that," said Wayne Franklin, a lefty who will fight for a spot in the rotation or the bullpen. "It's time for someone to stand up for the Milwaukee Brewers."
Change is already in the works. Yost had the stereo system removed in the home clubhouse at Miller Park, and Brewers coaches will dress with the players instead of in a separate locker room.
Other reasons to expect change? As the Braves third base coach, Yost knew only winning during 12 seasons of division championships. And he feels a genuine affinity to the Brewers fans who made his years in Milwaukee the best of his career.

"For me it's real important that we don't sell people a bill of goods," he said. "I don't want to have a lousy product and get everybody to believe it's good. Right now, I feel like our product is pretty good. I like what we've got."
To win, the Brewers will need comebacks from a number of veterans and breakouts from some unexpected sources. Melvin says it is possible.
"One year ago, no one knew Luis Vizcaino or Jayson Durocher," Melvin said, referring to the Brewers' most reliable relievers in 2002. "No one knew that they would have the impact on last year's team with their performance like they did."
The biggest competition starts Feb. 15, when pitchers and catchers report. As many as eight pitchers have an argument for the three spots in the starting rotation behind Ben Sheets and Glendon Rusch, and the Brewers will have no fewer than six catchers with big league experience in camp.
"I like the competition coming into Spring Training," Yost said. "We don't have anything that's the same, except for probably a few spots in our starting rotation. We've got guys who are going to battle."
The only thing missing this offseason was a big, attention-grabbing headline. Melvin and assistant GM Gord Ash say it was by design.
"Everybody would love to sign the star players, but I'm getting the sense that fans do understand that one star player is not going to make the difference now," said Melvin, who led the Texas Rangers to their first-ever playoff berth in the late 1990s after decades of futility. "It doesn't make sense to mortgage your future to one veteran player.
"It's not going to get done overnight, but we have to explain fans that we're trying to move forward and get things turned around here. We need to show improvement and play better baseball."

The huge crowds attending Wired magazine's NextFest, a hip, interactive science fair held in San Francisco May 14-16, were wowed by technologies and ideas. From draping, powering and lighting the space to providing sound, video, and IT technologies to the exhibitors, San Francisco-based event production company DaVinci Fusion was involved in virtually every aspect of getting this show up and running over the eight months prior to NextFest's opening day.
Wired magazine charged DaVinci Fusion with creating an edgy, futuristic environment for six experiential pavilions and over 100 exhibits from leaders in global R&D. As the event's producer and production company, DaVinci Fusion transformed the 50,000 sq. ft. Festival Pavilion at Fort Mason Center into a window to the future where more than 23,000 people got "up close and personal" with the exciting and emerging technologies.
A dark, tunnel-like portal (designed by New York's Tronic Studio), ushered incoming visitors through a fog screen, layers of motion graphics projected on gauze, and a complex directional sound environment that changed as their journey progressed. As they reached the end of the tunnel, visitors passed through a second fog screen bearing their own images, which grew bigger as they approached, until they walked through them into the exhibition space which was aglow with innovative, organic lighting that bathed the six experiential pavilions, designed by Tronic Studio and fabricated by Adelphi Productions of Alameda, CA, which housed the pedestal-mounted exhibits.
Although much of DaVinci Fusion's work was essentially behind the scenes, one of the most visible aspects was their lighting design for the six experiential pavilions, or pods. The pods, three occupying 4,000 sq. ft. each and another three measuring 2,000 sq. ft. each, were architecturally noteworthy themselves. Comprised of what looked like pie-shaped wedges cut from an aluminum-framed hemispherical structure, each pod was configured differently. Their curved walls were covered with a gauze skin that was painted with soft hues of light color-keyed to the theme of each pod. The subtle, computerized kinetic lighting gave the structures texture and lent an organic feel to the entire space providing a nice contrast to the hard-edged technology on display.
The entire Festival Pavilion was draped on a moving truss system for ease of installation, hiding its walls and windows and illuminating the interior with custom-built geometrically shaped configurations of pipes and truss to accommodate lighting positions, each with its own attitude. The pods' ambient light sources, housed in specially built structures, were supplemented by ellipsoidal spots or MR16 display lights depending on the needs of the exhibits.
Among the lighting equipment used were two Leprecon VX 48 × 2.4kw dimmer racks, a Jands Echelon Control Board; 212 ETC Source Four® 575W PARs, 146 Source Four® Ellipsoidal Spotlights, 30 L&E single cell Far cycs, and 150 CPI low voltage exhibit lights. Housing the lighting and other equipment was 380' of Total Structure 12" box truss, 340' of ITT 20.5" Box Truss, and 38 CM Chain Motors with various capacities.

Ethel Thor did not talk much about the three years she spent in captivity as an Army nurse in World War II, nor of the Japanese attack that started it all 72 years ago this weekend.
She'd say the men captured on the Philippines' Bataan Peninsula suffered far more than she and the nearly 80 other female American military nurses who were taken prisoner in the war's early days. She felt there was little more to say.
"We didn't grow up around that," said her daughter, Carla Kingsbury of Gig Harbor. "And even when we were adults, my mom just did not talk about it."
Now, 11 years after Thor's death, the stoic Tacoma woman's days in captivity are coming back in focus through a Spokane author's effort to share the stories of the so-called "Angels of Bataan and Corregidor."
Author Mary Cronk Farrell felt drawn to Thor both because of their in-state connection, and because Farrell was inspired by a photo Life Magazine once published showing Thor at work in an operating room on the Bataan Peninsula.
Thor would become one of the dozen or so main "angels" Farrell featured in her work, "Pure Grit: How American World War II Nurses Survived Battle and Prison Camp in the Pacific."
It's due to be published in February by ABRAMS. It's a photo-rich book aimed at teenage and young adult readers who might be interested in learning about the perseverance the female nurses showed in surviving almost unimaginable hardship.
"It's not like this was one nurse captured by the Japanese," Farrell said. "This was dozens and dozens of them. They were under horrific conditions and the fact they all survived was really interesting to me."
She wanted to write their story when she learned about the angels through her cousin, who was studying to become a nurse. The writer was struck by the World War II nurses' commitment to each other, and the way many of them "were told to just get on with their lives and forget what happened" when they came home.
The journey to captivity for Thor and the other nurses began on Dec. 7, 1941, the day of the attack on Pearl Harbor. The Japanese launched a second offensive the same day on American positions in the Philippines, though it was Dec. 8 by the calendar in Manila.
Hard fighting followed. Thor and other military nurses operated out of combat hospitals. Five months after the first attack, about 75,000 soldiers in American-led units surrendered to the Japanese forces.
Tens of thousands of the American and Filipino prisoners of war would die in Japanese custody before the liberation of the camps in 1945.
The angels had better conditions than the male military prisoners of war. Thor was kept with civilian prisoners at a camp near Manila called Santo Tomas. The angels created a medical clinic in which they cared for fellow internees.
Linda Bradley, one of Thor's three daughters, visited the site a little more than 30 years ago. She went with her mom and a small group of surviving nurses.
Bradley learned about the imprisonment and about the small pleasures the nurses shared in the Philippines before the war by listening in on her mom's conversations with the women she knew from that time.
"When they saw each other, they talked, and if you listened, you could learn," said Bradley, who now lives in Lakewood, Colo.
Thor came home to Tacoma after the war and married Carl Nelson. They raised three daughters on a farm in Spanaway. She died in 2002 at the age of 91.
Growing up, her daughters noticed that Thor loved caring for the people around her, and she was often unflinching in handling needles, cuts and burns.
As Bradley learned more about her mom's past – graduating from St. Joseph's nursing school in Tacoma in 1930 and joining the Army — she began to look at those qualities differently.
"When I was young, I thought my dad ran the household and my mom just did what he said. I didn't realize how independent she was," Bradley said. "I can look back now and say my dad only thought he ran the household"
In the 18 years late in life that Thor would spend at the Tacoma Lutheran Home, she'd make a point to visit and care for her neighbors.
"She was happiest when she was taking care of people," said daughter Sandra Thor of Seattle.
All three daughters helped Farrell with her research by providing photos and sharing memories about their mom. They'd like to think the work will help another generation remember the nurses who served with their mother.
"There are so many people that have never known there were women POWs in the war," Kingsbury said. "The whole thing is just pretty amazing."

Risk Alert to Members - Beware of Fake IRS Emails and Phone Calls
Tax scams that use email and phone calls that appear to come from the IRS are common these days. These scams often use the IRS name and logo or fake websites that look real.
Scammers often send an email or call to lure victims to give up their personal and financial information. The crooks then use this information to commit identity theft or steal your money. Some call their victims to demand payment on a pre-paid debit card or by wire transfer.
Be assured that the IRS will not initiate contact with you to ask for this information by phone or email.
If you get this type of 'phishing' email, the IRS offers this advice:
· Don't reply to the message.
· Don't open any attachments or click on any links. They may have malicious code that will infect your computer.
· Don't give out your personal or financial information.
· Forward the email to firstname.lastname@example.com . Then delete it.
If you get an unexpected phone call from someone claiming to be from the IRS:
· Ask for a call back number and an employee badge number.
· If you think you may owe taxes, call the IRS at 800-829-1040. IRS employees can help you.
· If you don't owe taxes or have no reason to think that you do, call the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration at 800-366-4484 to report the incident.
· You should also report it to the Federal Trade Commission by using their "FTC Complaint Assistant" on FTC.gov. Please add "IRS Telephone Scam" to the comments of your complaint.
Be alert to scams that use the IRS as a lure. The IRS will not initiate contact with you through social media or text to ask for your personal or financial information.
More information on how to report phishing or phone scams is available on IRS.gov.
A breach is defined as an event in which an individual's name plus Social Security Number (SSN), driver's license number, medical record, or a financial record/credit/debit card is potentially put at risk – either in electronic or paper format.
According to The Identity Theft Resource Center® (www.idtheftcenter.org/), 619 breaches were recorded in 2013, exposing over 57,868,922 records (now over 88 Million with Target's updated data exposing over 70 million consumers).
As you can see from the numbers, data breaches like the one at Target happen more frequently than you might be aware. The breaches typically highlight the vulnerabilities in merchant's computer systems and controls in place to protect your personal information. Retailers are in the business of selling goods and services, at a profit, first and foremost. Regulations and oversight of retailers is nearly non-existent in the area of protecting your information. Over the years many of the breaches have discovered their data is not encrypted, they store the entire card number and other personal information versus encrypting data transmissions and truncating card and personal information.
Financial institutions are required, by multiple regulations, to protect consumer information. These methods include encryption of data transmissions, virtual private networks, firewalls and intrusions detection systems.
A majority of fraud that occurs at retailers is passed on to the financial institution that issued the card. As is, the expense of talking to our members, monitoring unusual volume levels, and if needed, reissue cards and pin numbers.
The responsibility of recognizing there is fraudulent activity falls on you, our member; as you are the only one who knows if the ACH, Debit Card Transaction or Credit Card Transaction was authorized. So please protect your account by frequently monitoring the balance and transaction activity.
The time is now to start asking your retailer how they protect your card data and personal information, before you swipe your card or sign up for their program!
In late November, an unauthorized party accessed a file containing T-Mobile customer names, addresses, Social Security numbers and/or driver's license numbers. At this time, T-Mobile has not released the number of affected individuals. Although it is believed the primary goal of the access was to obtain credit card numbers (which were not included in the file), the information that was accessible could also potentially be misused. The number of customers that may have been compromised has not been disclosed.
Luxury retailer Neiman Marcus announced that customers' credit card data may have been stolen in a data breach that was uncovered in mid-December. Neiman Marcus is currently stating that the compromise involves card present transactions only and that their online stores were not affected. The number of cards that may have been compromised or the timeframes of the breach have not been disclosed.
We have identified all member debit and credit card accounts that made in-store Target transactions between November 27 and December 15. We will be reissuing new cards to these members, as well as a new PIN. These members will also be contacted directly by MCCU Staff with further details.
For additional information about the data breach, please visit Target's website.

Jackie Robinson was the ideal class act to break the barrier and become the first black player in Major League Baseball.Now, his story is coming to life on the big screen, and it is being celebrated with a red carpet premier in Kansas City.
Baseball fans can get a sneak peak of Robinson's biopic 42 that honors the ground-breaking athlete.
The red carpet will roll out at 5:30 p.m. at AMC Barrywoods 24 in the Northland with the guests of honor and celebrities walking at 6:45 p.m..
Stars of the film, including Harrison Ford along with his co-star Chadwick Boseman, will present one of the 42 jerseys worn in the film to the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum at 8 p.m.
They will also hold multiple screenings of 42.
The screening is followed by a panel discussion moderated by Joe Posnanski, a former sports writer for The Kansas City Star and author of The Soul of Baseball: A Road Trip Through Buck O'Neil's America.
The panel will also feature Bob Kendrick, president of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, and David Robinson, the son of Jackie Robinson.
"I think young people, especially, understand what it felt like, at that time, to go through what Jackie Robinson went through," Ford said.
Boseman, who bears a remarkable resemblance to Robinson, grew up playing basketball but said he learned of Robinson's importance around the same time he first learned of Martin Luther King Jr.'s crucial role in fighting for civil rights. Robinson's uniform number has been retired throughout the league - only New York Yankees closer Mariano Rivera still wears it, and he's retiring after this season - but every year on April 15, everyone in baseball wears No. 42.
"The story is relevant because we still stand on his shoulders. He started something - I would even say maybe he didn't even start it, it started before him. But he carried the torch. And he carried it alone for a period of time before other people could help him," Boseman said.
Robinson started his career with the Kansas City Monarchs of the Negro Leagues in 1945 before he was discovered by the Brooklyn Dodgers.
The Monarchs ultimately sent more players to the Major League than any other Negro League franchise.
AMC, a Kansas City-based company, donated the theatre space and concessions for the advanced screening.
42 opens to the public Friday.

Getting my nails done with my mom when I arrive in LA. Too bad the nail I slammed in a door well over a month ago looks just awful. I am so going to lose this nail. At least that's the first thing everyone likes to tell me. I have lincoln park after dark on all of my other nails because it blends with the bruising. It's that bad.

Jess has been such a GOOD friend. Can't imagine anyone doing a better job at being a good friend in another city. I suppose that's how one gains "best friend" status. Right? Easy friendship. We never have to try. She is one of the few people I can safely say will be in my life forever.
