All Heart — WC Senior Had Liver Transplant a Year Ago This Week
Swim Team Leading Organ Donation Awarenes
April 17, 2013
Galen Carrington is pictured competing in October, barely six months after having a liver transplant. Garlen and his teammates will be promoting organ donation awareness at the College this week.
Wilmington College's swim team is leading a campus-wide effort in promoting organ donation awareness that culminates with the observance of the national organization Donate Life's Blue & Green Day Friday (April 19). The timing has special significance as a member of the team, senior Galen Carrington, had a liver transplant a year ago this week.
Swim coach Trip Breen recalls holding Carrington's cell phone in his pocket during practices for three years. Each time it rang or a text message appeared he checked to see if it was the swimmer's parents alerting him that, within a matter of hours, he might be receiving a new liver.
"If that call came, time was of the essence," Breen said. "I needed to let him know as soon as possible."
After nearly 10 "false alarms," Carrington got the call last April. That meant his parents were on their way to Wilmington from his home in Lawrenceburg, Ind., to take him to Children's Hospital in Pittsburgh for a liver transplant.
Carrington had Maple Syrup Urine, a disease in which his liver was unable to break down a protein called leucine.
"My level was far beyond normal — it was high enough to put some people into shock," he said.
Doctors, who were somewhat baffled at how he was able to tolerate such high leucine levels, put him on an experimental drug as a temporary fix, but realized a liver transplant would be required for what Carrington said would be a "99 percent cure."
"My senior year in high school, I got to the point of where I had to make that very rational decision to put my name on a liver transplant list," he said.
Livers are not readily available and finding one that matched his rare O-negative blood type was the equivalent of winning the lottery.
Unlike organs such as kidneys, for which persons are born with two and can live healthy lives after donating one, humans have but one liver. Transplants must come from a dying person — with no chance of survival — whose organ matches that of a person on a transplant list, such as Carrington.

Melissa Holliday, mother of sophomore Drew Fields, lost her sister, Melodee, to a tragic accident in 1991, yet she finds comfort and peace of mind possessing the knowledge that her sister's organs ultimately saved the lives of four persons ranging in age from one to 59 years old.
Holliday, a registered nurse, took that life-changing experience to heart and today is the organ operations director for LifeCenter Organ Donor Network in Cincinnati, which coordinates organ and tissue donation in the tri-state area.
She promotes organ donor awareness in an attempt to prevent the traumatic experience her family suffered when, upon being told that Melodee was brain dead and wouldn't survive, "In the same sentence, we were asked about donating her organs."
All these years later, she still believes they made the right decision, yet many families faced with the horrible reality of a loved one's imminent death might not wish to deal with such a complicating prospect as organ donation.
"It's so much easier for families if they know their loved one's wishes ahead of time," she added. "Donating your organs and tissues is a hard thing to talk about — people can become so uncomfortable talking about death — but I urge everyone, especially young people, to tell your family what your wishes are."
Holliday vehemently rejects the idea that physicians might attempt fewer life-saving measures upon an organ donor in a grave condition so as to better accommodate a transplant.
"That's the biggest myth I try to dispel," she said.
"In order for organ donation to even be a possibility, the patient must have received excellent care and they must have a beating heart — yet doctors must declare them brain dead, which is very rare."
Breen's swim team and LifeCenter Organ Donor Network are partnering this week to increase organ and tissue donor awareness by Wilmington College students through promoting knowledge about the organ donor designation on Ohio driver's licenses and via other opportunities (www.lifepassiton.org).
The swim team was reminded of the human value of organ donation at each practice and competition when they saw the nearly 30 inches of incision scars on Carrington's torso, the result of the 12-hour surgery during which doctors transplanted his new liver.
"Every day our team sees the strength it must have taken Galen before the transplant to be a competitive athlete while facing a serious medical condition, and then being brave enough to have faced surgery and endured rehabilitation, and getting himself back in shape to swim competitively this year," Breen said.
"It's a courage we don't know we have unless we have to face something like he did — Galen obviously has that courage."
Carrington recalls the anxious ride to Pittsburgh last April 16.
"I was nervous and excited at the same time," he said.
After the marathon surgery, he spent the next six weeks either in the hospital or in a nearby facility with a controlled environment to protect him from infection and, later, to commence his rehabilitation.
The surgery required severing his abdominal muscles — a key strength area for a swimmer whose specialty is the butterfly and individual medley relay, the latter of which features four swimming strokes. He was unsure whether he could swim competitively his senior year, but he knew he would give training toward that goal his best shot.
That began in his backyard pool in June.
"I was seeing what I was capable of, seeing how I felt in the water, one stroke at a time," he recalled. "I was confident, but I didn't know how it would feel until I started swimming at the College.
"It felt great to be back at Wilmington in August, but I knew getting into shape to compete would be the hardest challenge, the hardest thing I've ever done," he added.
When the swim team opened its season Oct. 27 hosting Baldwin-Wallace, there was Carrington competing again on the intercollegiate level, just as he did for the duration of the five-month season. This spring he is playing water polo for WC's club team.
"Nobody thought I'd be coming back this year because of the condition I was in, but I've always been a very determined individual. I try not to let anything stop me from accomplishing my dreams."

He's really hard on HC they didnt try to make this one easy.
25-man: There are a few additional notes for the 25-man version that we found helpful in our clears.
- We took a smaller group of players into the hallway than we left in the Arena. We were able to successfully clear the hallway with just a single Paladin healer, though a second made it a lot smoother.
- We had a single person calling out on ventrilo the left and right so the rest of us could pay attention to adds.
- We used mages for sheeping the Guards while Acolytes were being brought down. Guards have an AOE knockdown, which was mentioned in the movie, but made it especially important for us to use ranged classes in the hall.
- The first Runic mini-boss will not Charge if everyone stays in melee range of him during the encounter.
- At the end of the hallway we had a healer run down to help in the Arena while we cleaned up a couple guards; this aggro'd Thorim and started Phase 3 even though the healer had not engaged Thorim. In other words, simply running and jumping off should complete this phase.
- In the Arena we stacked as many AOE classes and healers as possible. We used Rogue AOE interrupts to help reduce damage and disarms on the Vrykul to prevent Whirlwinds.
- We kept the Vrykul clearly away from everything else to prevent Whirlwind from killing nearby players unexpectedly.

Agreed, this was balanced a lot harder on the heroic. The mobs with knockdowns in the gauntlet and the fast respawn rate up to the second mini-boss proved pretty tricky, and the arena team, while stable enough for a while, seemed to get a lot of mobs very fast. We got him in the end, but the 25 man notes helped us a lot.
Fayre - Soldiers of Azeroth, Aggramar(EU)
We are recruiting! See here for more details.
Best strat is to overload the arena with dps, have 2/3 tanks tanking everything near the middle, and nuke the shit out of everything.
Have just enough dps in the gauntlet for them to reach thorim within 30 seconds or less of his enrage. If you get there erlier than that 30 second window, subtract a dps and see where you stand afterwards.
The fight is one big trial and error pain in the ass... especially from a tanks point of view. Being able to pick everything up with 8 fps on my end wasnt easy.
Note: One thing the mages in the gauntlet did was sheep the first two mobs at the bottom of the last stairwell and rushed up to the second giant golem. Just have a tank pick them up after they run all the way back to the arena once Thorim is engaged, and its a nice time saver.
In the 10-man, when I engaged the second mini-boss in the hallway, he stopped summoning adds.
In the 25-man, he kept spawning them after I engaged him. Is this normal? I'd love to hear suggestions on dealing with that, I had a lot of trouble. I'd get knocked down while tanking the second boss and get wrecked.
Kasath, he shouldn't spawn adds when you engage the second mini-boss

We did the 10 man version this weekend and he was pretty much a walk in the park after getting a grip of things. Look a few tries but then we nailed it the first time Thorim actually was engaged.
We tried 25 man yesterday however and had some issues to say the least. Not sure if we where poorly balanced but the arena seemed to run us over. We're going back there for a serious look tonight but where a bit stunned at the difference compared to 10 man. 3 tanks seemed more stable but around the 3 min emote (hard mode marker) we more or less got over-run.
Should one have more dps out in the arena and let the tunnel-group move a bit slower perhaps?
Its a catch22 - the faster you move through the gauntlet (aka more DPS) the fewer the amount of adds you need to deal with. But doing that makes the DPS in the 'pit' less, so there is more chance of being overrun.
We 2-shot 10man and then wiped 2-4 times in 25 before moving to do Emalon. As the MT for the pit section my plan is to make a macro that targets adds in the order of danger, that way I can press 1 button to switch to that target, toss a quick skull on them, taunt and then start my rotation to include t-clap etc.
One big thing to stress to all the DPS in the pit, they need to choose their targets extremely carefully, and if they all focus your target, it should make it so you have 4-5 guys up at any given time and not 9-10 guys with ~50% health.
Does this mean that a druid makes by far the best boss tank for Thorim since they don't need defense?
Well a druid has the following talent:
Survival of the Fittest
Increases all attributes by 6%, reduces the chance you'll be critically hit by melee attacks by 6%, and increases your armor contribution from cloth and leather items in Bear Form and Dire Bear Form by 33%.
The special strike the boss does reduces defence by 200 which thus will increase your chance to get critically hit, even if a bear.
any1 got any tips with dealing with so many adds in 25man version?
im used to using nameplates but soo many commoners its quite hard wish i could stop commoners nameplates showing up, im finding it helping to keep turning it on and off any1 got more tuos that might help?
What we did on 25 man was that 10 people went for the hallway and the rest was stacked on top of the two tanks in the very middle of the arena. We kept aoeing everything down and when the Champion spawned one previously designated tank was to call it on Vent and single-target tank him so the dps warrior could disarm to prevent whirlwind and the rest would nuke him down on first priority then continue to aoe. Works like a charm.
Did this the other day on 10 and to be honest, the hard part of this fight is keeping the teams in the arena, and the ones going through the gauntlet, alive.
I was assigned to tank in the arena (Frost DK) and for our group, we decided to just keep ourselves within the circle in the middle of the arena. Whenever big groups of adds spawn, we tell everyone to hold off on AoE so I can snap-aggro all of them with a glyphed Howling Blast followed by 2x Blood Boils. Then they let all hell break loose.
For the gauntlet group, we had 1 tank, 1 heals and 2 ranged dps.
The actual fight with Thorim himself is the easy part. Tanks just need to watch out for Unbalancing Strikes. Let your tanks alternate on unbalancing strikes - Tank A gets unbalancing strike, Tank B taunts, then Tank A waits to taunt until Tank B gets the strike.
First our approach was let Tank A get the strike, Tank B taunt off, Tank A taunts off immediately as soon as the debuff fades from him. The problem here is, as soon as Tank A gets Thorim back (freshly taunted) and gets hit with the Unbalancing Strike, Thorim is still within the Taunt-immune window since he's just been taunted off so Tank B can't get aggro, leaving Thorim stuck on Tank A, with Tank A vulnerable because of the debuff. DON'T DO THIS!
Other than that, Thorim's easy
We are currently having several issues with completing this encounter.
Our real issue however, is DPS on Thorim himself. We are having our tanks instagibbed with 15k+ melee hits followed by Unbalanced Blows of 30k+ less than .03 seconds later. How man are people dealing with this? I want to say that this may be a DPS issue. We are trying to squeeze as much dps as we can, however getting extremely close only to wipe because of whats basically a series of instagibs is frustrating.
Here is a look at the 10 man hard mode version

ill post the DL link once i upload it if ppl want. Its not the cleanest kill but its a kill none the less :P and watch in HD and the quality is good.
Juts noticed for video purpose's i should zoom in more >.< me other video's will be better havent made to many :P
The answer is user error
For phase 2, since we have two tanks, we just have one tank taunt off the other with Unbalancing Strike in heroic.
Also, for Heroic I switch to an Unholy AoE spec (I'm doing the arena as Frost in the video), because all of the passive, consistent AoE of unholy makes the arena much easier. On that one I tank all of the adds, while we have a prot warrior taunt (vigilance on me) the champions out of the group so the ranged can finish him off.
Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity. -Seneca
Everyone marvels at a square egg, but only the chicken understands the PAIN.
Stupid question: does the encounter reset if you take the entire raid into the hallway?
While, I'm at it, I had a few academic questions:
could you combine defense and resilience high enough that you were still uncritable after the unbalancing strike (course if you have two tanks anyways, why bother)?
and has it been confirmed that unbalancing strike makes you vulnerable to crushing blows?
In order to get your defense/resilience high enough to straight tank him, you'd have other huge survival issues. That is if you could even get enough of both to counter the 200 defense skill loss.
Unbalanced strike has NOTHING to do with crushing blows. The Crushing Blows mechanic is based solely on level disparity not defense skill.
I notice that you have SCT. How do you get, the damage that you do yourself, down on the side of the Icehud, or what it is...?
Crushing Blows are in fact calculated by your *base* defense skill and the mobs weapon skill.
I was actually skeptical of Satrina's conclusion that this would leave us open to Crushing Blows, but since Unbalanced strike reduces your defense skill not rating I can see his argument. I'm just wondering if anyone's been able to verify it one way or the other?

It's a great looking jacket, but the sizes seem to run a little big. I got a medium and worried that it would be too small, but I'm having to return it for the smaller size. I love the hi-viz.

Jenson Button hopes to draw on Fernando Alonso and Ferrari's experiences from last year as he looks to bounce back from a disappointing start to the season.
The Italian squad found themselves well off the pace of the Red Bulls and McLarens at the start of the 2012 campaign, but everyone go their heads down and by the time they got to Europe, Alonso was able to join the hunt for the title. The Spaniard eventually finished second behind Sebastian Vettel in the World Championship.
Button and team-mate Sergio Perez struggled during the season-opening Australian Grand Prix over the weekend, but the Brit, who picked up only two points after starting 10th on the grid, believes they can learn lesson or two from their great rivals.
"There is that side of it, which is very positive. Fernando was one and a half seconds off the pace - of us at the start of the season - and almost won the title," said the 2009 World Champion.
"So yes, it is possible for a front-running team to make up the deficit. If it's the same as their situation, I don't know.
"There are always strengths and weaknesses, and then it's about how many of each, but it's not the place we'd like to be at the start of a year.
"For us, a lot has changed over the winter with the car, and for most of the teams that's not been the case. They have developed what they had last season.
"We just took a very different approach. At this moment in time, obviously we're not as happy as we were hoping to be, but it's only the first race and there's so much we can achieve."
Unlike most teams who opted to use an evolution of their 2012 cars, McLaren made radical changes to their 2013 car, but there have been suggestions that the squad could revert back to last year's challenger in attempt to get back to the front.
Perez, who didn't pick up any points in his debut race for the Woking squad, believes the team can turn things around.
"If there is one team capable of getting out of these tricky conditions we have at the moment then it's McLaren," he said. "I fully believe in McLaren, and what is encouraging for me is I see the people working flat out. I know we are going to come out of this situation sooner rather than later."

Feel the Difference Double Quilting Makes in Our Flannel Robe for Women
What Our Customers Are Saying about Our Women's Quilted Full-Length Flannel Robe …
"For years, I have tried to find a thicker quilted robe for my mother, but everything I came across did not satisfy her as it was thin, cheaply made, and did not keep her warm. I tried at least 10 different robes over the years, but none kept her warm. Two years ago, I came across this robe, and it was everything she was looking for and more. As she ages, being warm becomes ever more important, and my mother is absolutely comfortable and happy. It's well-made, incredibly roomy, and most of all . . . warm. Thanks, Vermont Country Store!" - Kathy, Watsonville, CA
"I was given a similar robe over 30 years ago and have been looking for a replacement for a few years and never found one. A search on the internet came up with this full-length, front-snap, quilted robe that is everything I wanted. The robe is generously sized, so much so that I almost returned it for a smaller one. Instead, I washed it in hot water (you are supposed to use warm water). The hot water and fluffing it up in the drier brought it to size. I might be able to save a little on the heating bill. It is very warm and comfy. Thanks, VT Country Store." - Barbara, Andover, CT

An idea for a new game...
|3 years ago :: Dec 4 2011 - 6:00PM
No, its not another Saints Row, but it takes place in the same universe.

What about this:
Being in control of Steelport and needing to maintain order etc, the 3rd Street Saints have left Stillwater and this has created a vacuum. A number of small gangs have formed mainly for self-protection but also to take control of Stillwater's streets.
When they left, The Saints also left a number of properties that could be used by this games MC . There are weapons still stored in some places and these are unlocked during the game. You're a former cop who is getting annoyed with the corrupt system and you want to rid Stillwater of the scum (mainly the politicians, but also the worst gangs). You don't want to hurt innocent people so you have to think tactically.
You move your family away from Stillwater (they don't die or anything! too much of a cliche) and then get your hands dirty taking out the scum and also trying to influence things (someone had this good idea in another thread about influence being part of the game, instead of just walking in and completely dominating the area). As you're dealing with the scum, you find people willing to help you and these are also good people, just like you. They have skills such as engineering and they help to run everything for/with you, and they also supply/fix vehicles, weapons, property and whatever else you need.
Some of the people helping you are also former cops so they are good with weapons and they help you with training (as you get better with some weapons - respect earned for doing whatever - you unlock particular guns) and they also help, using their influence with current police officers, to keep your notoriety down when you're taking out members of gangs in the streets and also politicians/other scum wherever.
At the end of the game, when you have destroyed all of the gangs (most or all of them, not sure. maybe keep a few gangs going for you to attack later and have side-missions unlock when certain levels are reached) you decide to run in the elections and are voted in as Councillor/Mayor/Governor/President and then maybe more missions/activities are unlocked based on political stuff.

Well, the Saints are pretty powerful, and they are the most dangerous force in both cites. I know alot of people like the Saints, but I think for a story like this, they would have to be the enemies.
I could be cannon or non cannon. Since its a different game, Im not quite sure..

I made way to much money, and ran out of things to spend it on.(If only!) I dont know if its feasable but gonna suggest it anyway, To be able to put your homies under the knife at Image as designed. To have your own posse as you choose, or from all the characters available to download, I feel this is one of the major aspects of this game, and instead of running around after one semi clad female(If only!)lol.
A free roaming camera would also be fantastic, if not, an in front of you perspective, as in racing games when in front of the car, its much more invigorating. Also to toggle on and off the maps and info stuff, I know thats enough already but the one wish more than the others is for a green screen, almost thought I had found one, well black screen, inside the statue, but alas youve thought of everything to make this game yours! Its ashame we cant get to keep our characters and do what the hell we like with them! Respect!!! Great job!!! But copyright in Stealport C'mon!!!

Case and point: Saints Retribution
the new gang will be "The Chronics" as a joke name but taken serious by everyone else.
Same Universe as Saints Row Franchise set a couple of years into the future, but new fresh feel with a new gang alternative then the saints.
New Gang of Misfits trying to make a name for themselves as "gang banger pimps"(they sit in there basement smoking weed theorising how they are gonna be the next top gang, until they actually set things into motion).
I want the old style feel of the first "Saints Row", with the humor to go with it. I want to feel like a gangbanger again, opposed to a guy in a tie (which is what SR2 and SS:TT felt like). I think the cast of Knocked up with Will Farrell would give it the comic atmosphere it needs.
By cast of "Knocked up" i mean Seth Rogen, Paul Rudd, Jonah Hill, Jason Segel and Jay Baruchel all playing members within the new gang
Seth Rogan Plays Mastermind/Lieutenant of new gang(at first he will be the Leader until he pu**ies out, cause he wants the fame/money/power without the recercussions.
Will Farrell plays the Newly appointed Mayor(running for State) Dim witted and has no clue to running the city but loves the publicity and attention he gets. (gains government pos by Saints power).
Three Cities that are linked by the airports (we have them why not use them more) Stillwater(starting location), Steelport(final confrontation against the Saints), and a Vegas/Hollywood Style City.
The Saints are now just corporate celebrities that have lost their grip in the stillwater department but try to reclaim their integrity as the final antagonist.
Three Rival Gang possibilities are Mob type with connections to celebs, drugs and smuggling operation. a notorious gang of ex cons consisting of murderers, rapists and other over the top crimes(controlling underground fights, death races and heist operation. last gang is a latin, hybrid asian triad, african militia, white posing as blacks gang with control over battle royal(death mayhem activity on an deserted island),ho trafficking and illegal arms dealings.
Your group trys to make a name for itself as a bunch of drugged up failed attempt of gang bangers > then turns into a lame attempt at a counter terrorist group(by political and media controversy with the mayor or governer) >which becomes> pimped out gang bangers that think there all immortal unless put into a life or death situation.
Gangs HQ is Seth Rogen's characters Grandmothers basement(uncustomisable) and comic book store
Possible Bought HQ Corporate Office, Penthouse, Back room/VIP area in a club, Abandoned Warehouse and private owned island. (all fully upgradeable and customisable and purchased at anytime)
character should include 4 male/4 female accents with several personalities including Mad, Phycotic, anger management material, accepting/hippy stoner, #?*$*@ poser, normal, dramatic, tv soap and several more unknown to me

It takes a daring man to pull off some of today's fashion statements, but it takes a real cowboy to wear Cowboy Up shirts! Men's western T-shirts from Cowboy Up have become wildly popular for smart-mouthed sayings, edgy designs, and in-your-face humor! If you're headed to the bar, wear your Cowboy Up men's shirt for a roar of applause (and maybe a good brawl or two). If you're headed to the rodeo, you'll be disappointed if you don't represent your western heritage with a bold tee from Cowboy Up!

The FASB and IASB issued Revenue from contracts with customers, their long-awaited converged standard on revenue recognition on May 28, 2014. Those closely following the revenue project know there are potentially significant changes coming for certain industries, and some level of change for almost all entities.
Below are some of the areas that could create the most significant challenges for entities as they transition to the new revenue recognition standard.
Applying the new revenue guidance to the SEC five-year selected financial data table.
The revenue recognition standard, Revenue from contracts with customers, will be effective for U.S. GAAP reporters for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 for public entities and after December 15, 2017 for non-public entities, with no early adoption permitted. The revenue standard will be effective for IFRS reporters for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017, and will allow early adoption, with no delay in effective date for non-public entities.

The hostel will be a corporate retreat and training center but the developer also wants to push the limits of green design. The 24 bedrooms are all set on an upper floor which is fed fresh air by an aggressive wind scoop system built into the roof. Designed in conjunction with Arup Engineering , the roof directs the prevailing winds and pushes them into the core of the building, providing each room with cooling breezes. The lower floor will be the community area with a restaurant, conference space and indoor/outdoor area tucked below the sleeping quarters.

This is a pretty seductive building. Aesthetically interesting and approachable with the trebled value that comes from being beautiful, sustainable and efficient.
I would not be surprised to see this building receive recognition from the international architectural community. It's a new benchmark in sustainable design to my eyes.

8/03 in Yankee History
The red-letter day -
1914: Yankee backup catcher Les Nunamaker establishes a unique record in the annals of Major League baseball.
In the 7th inning of a game against the Tigers at Navin Field in Detroit, the hosts are coasting along behind starter Harry Coveleski with a 4-0 lead. The Tigers threaten to pad their advantage when Yankee hurler Len 'King' Cole walks Hugh High (who is substituting for an injured Ty Cobb) on four straight pitches. On Cole's next offering to batter Sam 'Wahoo' Crawford, High takes off for the keystone cushion, and is gunned down by Nunamaker's perfect strike to New York second baseman Luke Boone. Cole's control problems continue, and he walks Crawford, who also takes off for second at the first opportunity, this time successfully. Bobby Veach then comes up for Detroit, and in the course of his at bat, the Yankee backstop notices that Crawford is taking a larger and larger lead off second. When he pegs a throw to second, Crawford is caught high and dry for the second out. Finally, Veach walks, and, himself no slouch on the basepaths, decides to attempt a theft as well. He races towards second, but meets the same fate as his teammate High. It is the first and only time in post-1900 MLB history that a catcher has thrown out three runners in one inning. It is also the only inning ever recorded in a Major League contest in which the side was retired without a single batted ball having been put into play. Nunamaker's feat is
erroneously listed in many record books as having occurred in the 2nd inning; also' he is listed as throwing out three runners in the frame when in fact he only threw out 2, and picked off 1.
The Tigers ultimately prevail 4-1, the Yankees' lone score coming on a double steal with Nunamaker on the front end and Fritz Maisel behind him. Harry Heilmann, normally an outfielder, plays second base for the Tigers, replacing Marty Cavanagh' who 'played like a clown' yesterday according to Bengal manager Hughie Jennings.
On other 3rds of August…
2003: At Oakland, Miguel Tejada of the A's reaches Mariano Rivera for a three-run, one-out walkoff home run in the 9th ninth to beat the Yanks 3-1, denying Andy Pettitte a win and giving the victory to Mark Mulder.
2001: Andy Pettitte and Jarrod Washburn of the Angels do battle in the Bronx, each allowing four hits and no runs through six. David Eckstein plates two with a two-base hit in the seventh, but the Yankee reply of a Bernie Williams RBI double and home runs by Tino Martinez and Alfonso Soriano trumps the Angels rally. The Bombers win the game 4-2 and Williams's eighth-inning, two-out, bases-loaded diving catch of an Izzy Molina line drive saves the day
1998: Leading off for the Yankees' Chuck Knoblauch lines a hit off Mike Oquist (below)' and the Yankees continue to connect off the Oakland pitcher for 15 more hits' including 4 homers' in 5 innings. New York win' 14-1' scoring all 14 earned runs off the starter – it is the most runs allowed by a pitcher in one game since the Brewers' Bill Travers in August 1977. Orlando Hernandez picks up the win.
1986: At Cleveland' the Yankees set a Major League record by scoring 10 runs in the 5th inning. They have 5 walks' a HBP' and 6 hits including 2 homers to rack up the score. New York win 10-6 behind the pitching of Al Holland, Rod Scurry and Brian Fisher.
1982: The White Sox sweep a doubleheader from the Yanks at the Stadium 1-0 and 14-2' prompting George Steinbrenner to fire manager Gene Michael and replace him with pitching coach Clyde King. King is the Yankees' third field boss this season.
1979: The day after the death of Thurman Munson, before the start of the Yankees' four-game series with Orioles at the Stadium, the team pay tribute to their deceased captain in a pre-game ceremony in which the starters stand at their defensive positions, save for the catcher's box, which remains empty. Following a prayer by Cardinal Terence Cooke, a moment of silence and a performance of America the Beautiful by Robert Merrill, the fans (announced attendance 51,151) burst into an eight minute standing ovation. Jerry Narron, the man who will replace Munson behind the plate that night, remains in the dugout and does not take the field until Bob Sheppard announces: "And now it is time to play ball. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen for your co-operation.".
The game that follows is a tense pitching duel between Baltimore ace Scott McGregor and recent Yankee acquisition Luis Tiant. The Orioles win, 1-0.
1978: Boston and New York pick up where they left off last night' and the Red Sox score 2 runs in the 17th to win' 7-5' on RBIs by Rick Burleson and Jim Rice. Ex-Yankee Mike Torrez then stops New York' 8-1 in a rain-shortened game. Jim Rice' with only one homer in his last 33 games' hits a 3-run shot off Jim Beattie. Fred Lynn belts a 3-run homer in the 7th and Bob Bailey follows with a shot off the facade in left. Boston now lead Milwaukee by 6 games and the Yankees by 8 1/2.
http://www.retrosheet.org/boxesetc/1978/B08030NYA1978.htm v
1967: The Yankees ship veteran catcher Elston Howard to the Red Sox in exchange for pitchers Pete Magrini and Ron Klimkowski, and cash. Howard will hit just .147 for Boston but provide a steady hand with the pitchers. In a codicil to the deal' the Sox will sell catcher Bob Tilman to the Yanks on August 8th.
1956: In a 10-4 loss to Detroit' Whitey Ford is struck on the pitching hand by a 1st-inning line drive off the bat of Ray Boone. The Chairman of the Board will be sidelined until the 15th. The Yankees also lose Bob Cerv after he crashes into the wall chasing Frank Bolling's double.
1941: Browns' knuckleballer Johnny Niggling gets Joe DiMaggio in 4 at bats to stop the Yankee Clipper's streak of 74 games in a row reaching base. DiMag is 0-for-8 on the afternoon' as the first place Yanks lose two to the Browns' 6-2 and 5-0. Niggling wins the opener and Harris allows 2 hits in the game 2 whitewash.
1937: Even though it's a Tuesday, almost 67,000 fans find the time to throng the Stadium for a doubleheader with the White Sox. The Yanks sweep, 7-2 and 5-3. In the latter contest, Lou Gehrig plays in his 1,900th consecutive game.
1933: The Yankees are shut out 7-0 by the A's and Lefty Grove (below) for their first scoreless game since August 2' 1931. In the 8th
inning' Grove loads the bases with one out' then strikes out Babe Ruth and gets Lou Gehrig to fly out. The New Yorkers had tallied in 308 games in a row' during which they scored 1'986 runs (6.5 per game) to 1'434 for the opposition' which New York hurlers blanked 22
1927: At the Stadium, the Yanks split a mid-week twinbill with the Tigers, losing 6-5 and then winning 8-6. Lou Gehrig goes long in each game, and now leads Babe Ruth for the league home run lead, 37 to 34. The Bambino will hit his his 35th in two days' time.
1914: Contracts are let to dismantle Hilltop Park, the New York Highlanders' former home, between Broadway and Ft. Washington Avenue from 165th to 168th Streets. The park has not been used for baseball for two years. A street will be cut through the property.

So is there going to be any more reveals? I don't know how the SDCC works at all but I'm finding it hard to get excited about some different coloured figures and weapons.
So is there going to be any more reveals? I don't know how the SDCC works at all but I'm finding it hard to get excited about some different coloured figures and weapons.
* She-Ra & Supergirl are both long lost blood relatives to He-Man & Superman.
* She-Ra has Swiftwind & Supergirl has Comet The Superhorse.
* She-Ra & Supergirl both have powers similar to their heroic relatives(along with some additional ones).
* She-Ra was manipulated by Hordak to bring her to his side and Supergirl(at least in current continuity) was manipulated by Darkseid to bring her to his side.
I think Wonder Woman fits better with Teela since they are both highly skilled fighters who specialize in hand-to-hand combat(She-Ra uses a sword more often than not). They were both created artificially. Wonder Woman from mud & clay and Teela is a clone.
PoP Variants are part of the vintage line, too! Starburst She-Ra, Shower Power Catra, and Scratchin' Sound Catra for 2015!!!
I'm excited about blue-winged Stratos. That's the version I had as a kid and has always been *the* version, as far as I'm concerned. I just hope it isn't in another silly DCU 2 pack. I know I'm in the minority on that, but enough is enough.
By the way, what is "all-chrome She-Ra"? Does that just mean She-Ra with the two-toned silver sword? The shield she's holding still looks like it's on the golden side to me. Hard to tell with the lighting.
Last edited by Ntumbuluku; July 21, 2010 at 07:37pm.
Dudes, remember: Toyguru saw the light earlier this year regarding the placement of Stratos' wings. Look for the blue wing version for the corrected side arm wings.
Your support means more research for the Myostatin-challenged.
For the honor of Grayskull!
Trader Feedback thread: http://www.he-man.org/forums/boards/...74#post2598174
The change on the colors for Stratos looks simple enough to put in a TRU 2 pack as I dont think they would release that as a bonus figure, or how would people feel maybe as just a repainted reissue?
Since the Sorceress colored Zoar was out there last year so maybe she just keeping an eye on things lol!
And I would guess the new She-ra sword will be in the weapons pack or come with the Sorceress (since she gave it to He-Man to give to Adora).
- Both are the main heroines of their own lines
- Both are the strongest women in their universes (arguably, for Wonder Woman)
- Both have tiaras
- Both have magical weapons (sword and lasso...and She-Ra liked to turn her sword into a lasso a lot)
- Both fly
- Both have mothers who are Queens
- Both are surrounded by a society of almost all women (Themyscira is all women except for pilot Steve Trevor, who crash lands there...and Bow is the only male among all the PoP ladies in the toys. Ironically, Marlena..her mother..pilots a ship that also crashes in a strange land, Eternia)
- Both have powerful villains from hell trying to get complete control over a planet (Hordak/Fright Zone/Etheria is not COMPLETELY taken over and Ares/literally hell/causes all the wars, hatred, fighting, etc. on Earth)
- Both were stolen as babies and brainwashed...kind of (Wonder Woman's twin sister Nubia was kidnapped and raised by Mars, brainwashed by his ring. She fought her sister nearly to the death. Nubia is the black Wonder Woman).
- Both have powerful secret identities. Adora is the leader of the rebellion and a fighter. Diana Prince is a secret agent.
- Both have had their own toylines. Supergirl has never had her own. Wonder Woman = prototypes for Wonder Woman and the Starriders AND she had the small line of her newest comic book series figures.
- Wonder Woman has a magical winged unicorn, pegasus, pegacorn...whatever you want to name it, just like She-Ra. His name is Nightshine.
- Wonder Woman also has a Crystal Castle-like place (seen in pic with Nightshine). If you don't go for that, Themyscira is hidden by clouds just like Crystal Castle so no man can find it.
That's it for now, but LOTS of comparisons.

In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan,
Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone;
Snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow,
In the bleak midwinter, long ago......a stable place sufficed.
What can I give Him, poor as I am?
If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb;
If I were a Wise Man, I would do my part;
Yet what can I give Him?....[I can] give my heart.
Nightshine was Swiftwind...repainted!

Yeah, I would also prefer She-Ra/Wonder Woman. I also really want them to include the Womder Woman and the Star Riders comic.
But I'm not opposed to a She-Ra/Supergirl either. I had the Toy Biz Wonder Woman from 1989/1990.. but never owned a Supergirl figure before.
It's a pity that we can't get a MOTUC version of the DC trinity...Superman teamed up with He-Man, Wonder Woman would have had a POP-like line and Batman had his own Mattel comic-based line for awhile.
It would be so cool to get Wonder Woman, Superman and Batman with MOTUC bodies.
