A letter from the candidate
Friends, Constituents, Neighbors, and Supporters,
I'm excited to let you know that I have decided to run for State Board of Education — the District's school board. Earlier today, I signed a Statement of Candidacy with the DC Board of Elections and Ethics and will be on the ballot for Ward 2 on November 6!
It's a challenging time for education in the District. Parents are frustrated and do not fully understand how to build and support strong schools or access the resources available through the Superintendent or Chancellor's offices. A main goal of mine will be to work with parents and the community at large to improve our neighborhood schools in Ward 2 and to ensure that parents have confidence in the ability of our public schools to provide their children a high-quality education. I will also focus on reducing attrition when students move to middle and high schools by ensuring those public schools provide continued rigorous curriculum that give students the life skills necessary to move into the global workforce.
I have been honored to serve the District as a Neighborhood Commissioner for the past four years, and am eager to take this next step in public service to represent all of Ward 2 on the State Board of Education. But I won't be able to win and serve as an energetic and effective Board Member without your help getting there. I'll need volunteers, donors, and moral supporters throughout this adventure, and I'll be reaching out to each of you over the next several months to call upon your individual talents and resources to ensure a victory in November.
To follow my campaign work or get involved, you can visit my website at www.JackJacobsonDC.com, follow me on Facebook.com/JackJacobsonforDC, and follow me on Twitter @JackJacobsonDC.
Thank you for your past support of my endeavors, and I look forward to serving Ward 2 on the State Board of Education in January 2013!
With my warmest regards,

When getting the jump on a monster due to Combat Initiative, Moxie class characters (including the Avatar of Sneaky Pete) have the option to try to steal an item. Picking pockets can only be attempted during the first round of combat. Note that Sneaky Pete cannot do this and Mug for the Audience at the same time. Note that if two combats occur on the same turn, such as when using a tangle of rat tails, you cannot pickpocket twice even if you get the jump both times- though it is possible for Pete to pickpocket the first and mug the second.
The effect Form of...Bird! or a tiny black hole can grant pickpocket ability to characters of other classes. There are several other items that perform pickpocket-like actions. (See Methods section below.)
Attempts to steal an item from the monster.
If a monster can drop n different items with associated base drop rates p1, p2, ..., pn, then the probability that item #1 will be obtained from a single pickpocket is given by the formula
These are the normal pickpocket skills. They can grab pickpocket-only items. Only one item can be stolen per combat.
The following abilities can be attempted later in combat. They can not grab pickpocket-only items. Because only one item can be stolen per combat, they will not steal an item if a previous pickpocket succeeded.
These act independently from the other pickpockets and can succeed in the same combat:
The following areas/monsters have items that can only be gained through the pickpocket ability:
When pickpocket was originally implemented, all conditional drops were marked as not pickpocketable. Generally, this remains true for older content, although CDMoyer has stated that in more recent content, each item's pickpocketability and conditionality are determined separately.
For example, shirts drop conditionally based on whether you have Torso Awaregness. In older content, shirts could not be stolen, but in the Knob revamp, pickpocket can steal shirts.
The following is a list of notable monsters that either can not be pickpocketed or have items that can not be stolen.
These act as item drop modifiers, but for pickpocket attempts: +100% pickpocket chance would double the base drop rate for each item. This is different from doubling each item's total chance of being pickpocketed. These effects only affect the regular "Pick Pocket" command (as granted by Moxie classes, Birdform, and the tiny black hole) and not similar effects like the peppermint crook or divine cracker.

Re: TrumPet Walker
Alright, so the story is that I went to the pet store and found this adorable golden pet that produced this beautiful sound, which for illustrative purposes I'll call music. This adorable pet was a trum, that right, the thing was a trum and it musiqued so beautifully. I promptly asked the store manager what kind of care do they need, and he told me they just need to play, music and be taken for a walk every day. I got 3 of them! My neighbor is a Jazz musician so he gladly takes them to play and walks them for me. Oh, look! There he is, on that Battlefield Earth (2000)! 6 pantone half-toned colors on a asphalt shirt. If you like the shirt or the story, please vote, I worked very hard on it, and I dream of winning the derby at least once.

[Movie Review] THE MIST
Grundy demanded it, so I'm supplying it: a review for The Mist. I had zero interest in seeing this flick, but I could not ignore poor Grundy's pleas, so I bit the bullet and watched it. In the talkbacks, Grundy called it the best horror movie he's seen in years. With all due respect to him, I have to disagree.
This is not a HORROR film, not at least by the traditional definition. Sure, there's some weird monsters attacking people, and there is more than enough bloodshed to go around, but this is more of a character drama than anything else. A DAMN GOOD character drama about the manner in which people behave when the shit hits the fan. I was genuinely shocked at what I was seeing, not because it was bad, but because it was so good! Wow!
I don't want you guys to read any spoiler reviews prior to seeing this, because there are some nice kick-in-the-pants moments here that I don't want you to know about. I'm going to keep this thing spoiler-free. Basically, the plot of the film consists around a group of people(led by Thomas Jane, looking pretty hot here) who hole up in a grocery store after a strange mist rolls into town and starts killing people. It sounds like your typical setup for a B-horror movie, but the film throws a curveball by morphing into a remake of Lord of the Flies, with bickering and power struggles abounding. There's enough blood and guts to satisfy you horror fans, but the real beauty of this film how it focuses on the characters. Thomas Jane is great as David Drayton, an average guy who turns into the group leader while trying to protect his young son. I thought Jane sucked as The Punisher, so I was dreading his work here, but I was surprised at how good he was here. I completely bought him as a resourceful guy in a bad situation. If I was in that store, I would have obeyed every word out of the guy's mouth. He's got some serious heavy lifting in this film, particularly the finale(the biggest HOLY SHIT moment of the year, hands down), and I never felt one false note in his performance. Damn good work here.
In fact, all of the actors do damn good work, with the exception of one character who was just so annoyingly over the top that I was literally saying aloud, "Can something please kill this bitch already?" Marcia Gay Harden plays the most annoying Jesus freak bitch I've ever seen. I suppose her character, Mrs. Carmody, was supposed to get on my last nerves, but jeez, every time they show her, she's spouting off about Jesus and God and how God is punishing us and yada yada yada. I was ready to go nuts! She's just so friggin' over the top here, especially in light of the more subtle performances happening around her. I haven't read the Stephen King novel, so I can't say if the character was supposed to be such an irritating bitch, but man! It was a little too much for me. I liked how they showed her paranoia and religious rantings taking their toll on the others in the store. I guess I was supposed to dislike her, but she damn near ruined the movie for me. I was enjoying what was happening with the other characters, and then she'd show up, and I'd want to fast-forward or something.
Another thing that almost wrecked the movie for me was the shitty special effects. When a creature is onscreen, it is BLATANTLY CGI, and it was tough to feel fear when it was so painfully obvious that the thing wasn't really there. There were times when I would chuckle instead of cringe because the thing looked so fake, but it wasn't enough to derail the movie. The movie still had enough mojo to keep me on the edge of my seat. I was jumping and gasping more than I have in a "horror" movie in years. This thing does what I love in horror flicks(even though I wouldn't really classify this as horror): it creates a terrifying atmosphere so that, even when the monster is not onscreen, you are dreading the next attack. Any movie can have a guy suddenly appear from the shadows to make you flinch, but this thing is much more sophisticated than that.
Bad CGI and Jesus freak bitch aside, this is a very good movie. The trailers really don't give you a good feel as to what this flick is truly about, and quite frankly I'm glad they don't. It's nice to be surprised by a movie every once in a while, and this thing was a very pleasant surprise. I wish I could tell you more about why I liked it so much, but I don't want to spoil anything. I doubt you'll walk out of this feeling like you wasted your cash. It's paced very well, the tension goes through the roof at times, and the performances are 99.9% kickass. Now please, go see it so we can all squeal about how AWESOME the ending is. Holy shit…

The Proverbs 31 woman sets some pretty high standards for us
to live up to, but learning to walk in her footsteps can be as simple as
learning a few new habits, one small step at a time.
- Commit to Never Speaking Ill of Your Husband – She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life (Proverbs 31:12) Many women today not only have a habit of defaulting to negatively-toned gossip when they get together, they've also cultivated a club of husband-bashing. Even if it seems humorous to compare all the mishaps of faltering husbands, don't do it. Find ways to praise him instead and see if you can't turn your conversation toward honoring your husbands instead of demeaning them.
- Learn to Grocery Shop Wisely – She is like the merchant ships, bringing her food from afar. (Proverbs 31:14) There's so much to say on this one that it may become a week-long series. There are tons of resources available to help you learn to shop smart and feed your family well. Make sure you understand the basics of finding good deals, planning a weekly menu, and feeding your family a healthy, balanced diet.
- Get Up Before Everyone Else – She gets up while it is still night (Proverbs 31:15) If you're not a morning person, this one might take some practice, but in time you'll wake up first out of habit without even needing an alarm.
- Grow Your Own Food – She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard. (Proverbs 31:16) Even in an apartment you can consider your windowsill and plant some herbs. This has been on my to-do list for years, but hopefully you'll see some gardening posts popping up here in the future.
- Maintain a Budget – She sees that her trading is profitable, and her lamp does not go out at night. (Proverbs 31:18) When you're aware of not only where your money comes from, but exactly where it goes, you'll be able to live comfortably within your means, without worrying at the end of the month if there's enough left to pay the power bill for another month.
- Get Involved in Charity – She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy (Proverbs 31:20) There are so many wonderful charities, you can find something to get involved in no matter where your interests lie. Find a way to give back that uses your talents and benefits something you're passionate about.
- Practice Emergency Preparedness – When it snows, she has no fear for her household; for all of them are clothed in scarlet. (Proverbs 31:21) God will always find new challenges to help us learn and grow in faith. Being prepared allows you to face them without fear. This could mean packing an emergency kit for your car, keeping road salt in winter, or stocking up on food and water for hurricane season.
- Support Your Husband – Her husband is respected at the city gate, where he takes his seat among the elders of the land. (Proverbs 31:23) There are so many ways that a smart wife can help her husband advance in his career. Support him, encourage him, and help him in everything he does. (Beside Every Successful Man is a great resource on this)
- Learn to Speak Wisely – She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue. (Proverbs 31:26) If you feel like you just don't know what to say, there are two very simple ways to fulfill this. Refrain from speaking just to fill the silence, and begin reading the bible and memorizing verses that will come to your aid.
- Keep Busy – She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. (Proverbs 31:27) Set a schedule for housekeeping so you can stay on top of everything. Organization is essential to watching over your household wisely.
Embodying all the aspects of the perfect Proverbs 31 woman can be intimidating, but picking one or two small habits to add to your routine is so much more manageable. What little steps will you take to become more like the Proverbs 31 woman?

Smiles came easily at McArthur Court on Monday, as did points, and also victory for the home squad.
In a stark change from last season's struggles, the Oregon women's basketball team opened 2009-10 with an 86-48 win over Eastern Washington before 2,250 fans. The crowd, bigger than all but five of the 15 home crowds last season, saw the Paul Westhead era open with the Ducks' highest point total in more than two years, and their largest margin of victory in nearly four.
"We haven't had this feeling in a while," said UO junior Nicole Canepa, who went on to illustrate just how much the landscape has changed for the program. "And honestly, that wasn't our best out there at all. And we know that."
If that's the case, many more good things are to come for Oregon this season. On Monday, the Ducks mixed the hot shooting of Taylor Lilley, yeoman's work in the post by Canepa and a combination of pressing and zone defense to post their biggest win since a 102-36 victory over Prairie View A&M on Dec. 10, 2005. Oregon's 86 points matched their output against Arizona on Jan. 7, 2007.
Lilley had a career-high 28 points, and Canepa added her second career double-double with 17 points and 10 rebounds. Lilley nailed the first of her career-high seven three-pointers just five seconds into the game, and made three in a row in a span of 46 seconds of the second half, taking full advantage of Oregon fast-break pace under Westhead.
"I just don't have that pressure of thinking, 'Is this a good shot? Is this not a good shot?' " Lilley said. "It's just a matter of getting into a rhythm. In the second half we were really able to push the ball, and that's what created the open looks." Click here for the complete story.

Expression of Pax2 and patterning of the chick inner ear

Early regionalized gene expression patterns within the otocyst appear to correlate with and contribute to development of mature otic structures. In the chick, the transcription factor Pax2 becomes restricted to the dorsal and entire medial side of the otocyst by stage 16/17. The dorsal region of the otocyst forms the endolymphatic duct and sac (ED/ES), and the cochlear duct is derived from the ventromedial region. In the mouse, however, Pax2 expression is reported only in the ventromedial and not the dorsal otocyst. In Pax2 null mice, the cochlea is missing or truncated, but vestibular structures differentiate normally. Here we demonstrate that in the chick, the emerging ED/ES express high levels of Pax2 even when the position of the emerging ED is altered with respect to its environment, either by 180° otocyst rotations about the anterior/posterior axis or transplantation of the otocyst into the hindbrain cavity. However, the Pax2 expression pattern is plastic in the rest of the otic epithelium after 180° rotation of the otocyst. Pax2 is upregulated on the medial side (formerly lateral), and downregulated on the lateral side (formerly medial and expressing Pax2) indicating that Pax2 expression is influenced by the environment. Although Pax2 is upregulated in the epithelium after 180° rotations in the region that should form the cochlear duct, cochlear ducts are truncated or absent, and the ED/ES emerge in a new ventrolateral position. Ablation of the hindbrain at the placode or early otic pit stage alters the timing of regionalized Pax2 expression in the otocyst. The resulting otocysts and ears are generally smaller, vestibular structures are abnormal, ED/ES are missing but cochlear ducts are of normal length. The hindbrain and dorsal periotic mesenchyme provide unique trophic and patterning information to the dorsal otocyst. Our results demonstrate that the ED is the earliest structure patterned in the inner ear and that the hindbrain is important for its specification. We also show that, although normal Pax2 expression is required for cochlear duct development, it is downstream of ventral otocyst patterning events.

Barbara Ehrenreich: Looting the Lives of the Poor
6:42 am in Uncategorized by Tom Engelhardt
This article originally appeared at TomDispatch. To receive TomDispatch in your inbox three times a week, click here.
Gordon Gekko, the infamously cutthroat capitalist and lead character in Oliver Stone's Wall Street, captured the heady years of the 1980s with a single, indelible line: Greed is good. Today, it is Edward Conard, a friend and former colleague of Mitt Romney's at the private equity firm Bain Capital, who has offered a new mantra for the 1%, a cri de coeur for the Gekkos of the twenty-first century: Inequality is good.
In his new book Unintended Consequences: Why Everything You've Been Told About the Economy Is Wrong, Conard argues that gaping income inequality is an indication of a healthy economy, not a sick one. The more unequal we are, Conard told the New York Times Magazine, the better off we all will be. Why? Because economies grow and thrive when smart people devise solutions to our thorniest problems by inventing or perfecting goods and services. Conard singled out a group of twentysomethings sitting at a Manhattan coffee shop one afternoon, deriding them as lazy "art-history majors." Those people should be out creating businesses and taking risks, he insisted, because that's how societies prosper. And the way to encourage that risk-taking is the promise of obscene wealth for those who succeed (and, implicitly, dismal poverty for those who don't).
How obscene should that wealth be? In 2008, the top 1% commanded 21% of all income in America. Conard says our society would improve if only that figure were doubled.
Needless to say, there is no shortage of Conard critics. The more respectful ones ask: Teachers do not fit Conard's entrepreneurial ideal — are they no use to society? What about judges? Government regulators? Others dismiss Conard as an out-of-touch millionaire living in a fantasy land. For instance, Conard claims that wages for American workers have climbed in recent decades; in fact, as liberal economist Dean Baker notes, wages have barely kept pace with inflation. "We'll leave it to his shrink," Baker quipped, "to determine whether the problem is that Conard is deluded or dishonest."
It's not hard to imagine how members of the working poor would react to Conard's message. Here he is urging them to take the leap and design more efficient soda cans or search engines, when, as TomDispatch regular Barbara Ehrenreich makes strikingly clear, the working poor who dare share food with the down-and-out or kick up their feet on a subway seat can land in a debtor's hell created for them by state and local governments and law enforcement agencies. Unlike Conard, Ehrenreich, the author of the bestselling Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America, had an actual urge to help those in trouble. She's just launching the Economic Hardship Reporting Project, which will "will pay laid-off and/or underemployed journalists who are themselves caught in the maw of economic hardship to produce compelling stories." (To catch Timothy MacBain's latest Tomcast audio interview in which Ehrenreich discusses how the poor get soaked and her latest project to fund investigative journalism on poverty, click here or download it to your iPod here.)

LR Group within the Food sector
More than just a bad reputation, food safety incidents can result in death or illness, costly recalls, bad press, decreased consumer confidence and damaged brand value. With an increase in globalisation of supplies, the likelihood of these risks grows and the processes to manage them effectively become more complex, especially as levels of food safety vary from country to country.
This is why having the right food safety management program in place – verified by a reputable, trusted body with a global footprint – is more critical now than ever to help manage food safety and security risks along the supply chain, and ultimately, help protect your consumers and your brand.
With so many customer, market and company-specific requirements to consider, it can be difficult to determine which program will best suit your food safety needs. LRQA offers food sector specialists and industry experts to help you identify your best options and then delivers consistent, effective and robust assessments, helping assure the right food safety, security and improved traceability programs are in place.
For over 20 years, LRQA and our team of experts have worked extensively across the food sector, assisting with the development, formalisation and improvement of food safety standards, including HACCP, ISO 22000, PAS 220 and FSSC 22000. Our food safety experts serve as active members of the world's leading food safety technical committees, including the ISO 22000 Technical Committee, the European Accreditation Board's Food Committee, the Foundation for Food Safety Certification, and the Global Food Safety Initiative's (GFSI) Technical Committee.
Serving clients in over 120 countries across the Americas, Europe, Middle-east and Asia, LRQA is at the forefront of a number of emerging developments in food safety & security management, and our experts are considered thought leaders within the industry.
LRQA has an international reputation for being fair, accurate and responsible. We're able to work with you to define solutions which help address and mitigate risks throughout your supply chain, helping assure the right food safety, security and improved traceability processes are in place.
ISO 22000 - Food safety and quality management
PAS 220 - Food safety specification
HACCP - Food safety management
British Retail Consortium (BRC) Global Food Standard

(Best Syndication News) - Snow is on its way to Southern California's high desert and mountain areas with the snow level dropping as low as 2,000 to 2,500 feet in elevation. The National Weather Service announced a winter storm warning starting Friday (February 25, 2011) at 6 pm and going through Saturday (February 26, 2011) until 4 pm.
Snow accumulations are going to be substantial. Elevations above 3,500 feet can expect between 8 to 12 inches of snow, and elevations above 5,500 feet can expect between 12 to 24 inches. The heaviest snowfall will occur overnight between 3 am through 5 am. There will also be 20 – 30 MPH southwest winds that can have gusts up to 50 MPH as well during this snow storm.
The first drops of rain and precipitation should arrive around 6 pm. As the temperature drops enough snow will start to fall and could possibly continue into the next day up until around 2 pm. The rain and snow could return around 6 pm and continue in the early hours of Sunday morning, however the amount and chance are less likely.
Areas that are included in the National Weather Service Winter Storm Warning are: Angelus Oaks, Baldwin Lake, Barton Flats, Big Bear City, Big Bear Lake, Crestline, Fawnskin, Forest Falls, I-15 Freeway at Cajon Pass Summit, I-15 at 3500 feet, Lake Arrowhead, Mount Baldy, Mountain Home Village, Oak Glen, Phelan (includes Pinon Hills), Running Springs, Twin Peaks, and Wrightwood.
Areas that is going to be problematic for travel includes at the I-15 Cajon Pass Summit and the I-15 down to 3,500 feet in elevation, which could mean long delays if traveling during this storm. There may be times of zero visibility because of the heavy snow fall and blowing snow along with dense fog. Because of the dangers of traveling during this storm, the National Weather Service recommends avoiding travel if possible during the storm. If you do have to travel they suggest bringing chains, check the road conditions before traveling, and bringing extra clothes and food with on the trip.

At the Queen Mansion, Moira decides to hold a press conference. Apparently, Oliver's chat about doing the right thing actually got through to her. She tells reporters that she has "failed this city" (way to steal Arrow's line, Moira!), and admits to her role in The Undertaking. She tells the press that the architect behind The Undertaking is Malcolm and offers proof that he's killed dozens in pursuit of his madness. She includes her husband and Frank (though, to be fair, her husband committed suicide and she was the one who put a target on Frank's back. But, whatever, technicalities, right?).
Why is every scene with Thea always so absurd? Before Moira is hauled away by the police, Thea angrily confronts her about The Undertaking. She just doesn't understand how her mother could want to destroy a place where her boyfriend (of what, two weeks?) lives. ANY OTHER PLACE MOM, BUT NOT WHERE ROY LIVES! Okay, so maybe that's not exactly what she meant, but still, her reaction was ridiculous. I know she's a lovesick teenager and all, but come on!
Malcolm shows a still-in-shock Tommy his Dark Archer suit, but he's interrupted by the arrival of a handful of cops. (Again, why wouldn't you send an entire task force to deal with a man who is planning to destroy a portion of a city??!). Malcolm easily kills the police officers, while Tommy begs him to stop. With no other option, Tommy picks up a gun and aims at his dad. Here, I was convinced that Tommy was going to kill Malcolm, and later, in despair, embrace the Dark Archer suit, but once again, I was completely wrong. Malcolm knocks Tommy out.
At the hideaway, Oliver asks Diggle to deactivate the device, while he goes after Malcolm. Diggle, however, refuses to let Oliver go alone. Felicity says she'll deal with the device but Oliver orders her to leave the Glades. He doesn't want to put her at risk, but she insists on helping. They end up compromising. Oliver asks Lance to go after the device and tells him that Felicity will walk him through the process.
Meanwhile, everyone is trying to get out of the Glades. Well, everyone except Roy, who hears about the chaos happening outside his door on the news. Late to the party much?
Flashback to the Island: The island is destroyed after the missile hits, but Oliver and Slade make it out okay. Unfortunately, so does Fyers, who takes Shado hostage. Oliver uses a newly discovered bow and arrow to take aim at Fyers. Shado gives him the go ahead to shoot, and he does. Turns out all of those water slapping lessons were pretty effective. Oliver doesn't miss.
In Starling City, Oliver and Diggle arrive at Malcolm's office where they see Tommy. Tommy admits that Oliver was right about his father. He asks Oliver if he plans to kill Malcolm, but Oliver doesn't give him a straight answer. Meanwhile, Diggle discovers a false wall. He and Oliver step inside and find Malcolm waiting for them. He says he wants Oliver and Diggle to watch their city die. They, however, would rather watch Malcolm die. They try to fight him, but he's too quick. Malcolm ends up stabbing Diggle in the shoulder.
Meanwhile, Lance locates the device and realizes he has only seven minutes to disarm it.
Cut to the Glades where Roy spots some hoodlums who are up to no good. Naturally, Arrow 2.0 has to get involved. He takes out a few of the men, when the leader of the pack pulls a gun on him. Before the man can do any harm though, Thea knocks him from behind with a glass bottle. It's pretty bad ass, but don't worry, she'll go back to being annoying really soon.
Meanwhile, Felicity and Lance inadvertently trigger an anti-tampering alarm that speeds up the detonation of the device. Now, they've only got two minutes to go before the Glades goes under. While Felicity tries to figure out a solution, a panicked Lance calls Laurel and tells her he's not going to make it and then begs her to leave her office in the Glades immediately. Leave it to Laurel to ignore her father's dying wish.
And now for the most ridiculous moment of the night... Roy and Thea are on their way out of the Glades, when she starts yelling at him for texting and driving. "You do know how dangerous it is to text and drive right?! It can wait!" Look, I agree. No one should text and drive, but was this scene really necessary? Shouldn't she be yelling about the impending earthquake instead? Whatever. Their escape is stopped short when Roy spots a man trapped between two vehicles. The man needs help getting out, and Roy obviously has to play hero again. He decides to stay and help the man while Thea drives off to safety. Does she make it? Does he? Do they reunite? Do I care? I might have if this scene wasn't so contrived.
Okay, now back to the real action: Arrow and the Dark Archer go head-to-head on the roof of Malcolm's office. Once again, it seems like the Dark Archer has the upper hand. He's seconds away from snapping Oliver's neck, when Oliver suddenly spots a stray arrow and pushes it right through Malcolm's chest.
Meanwhile, Lance manages to disarm the device. So, all is well, right? Not exactly. A dying Malcolm tells Oliver that there's another device. A back-up plan if you will. And it's too late for anyone to stop it. Oliver and a very injured Diggle watch from the roof as half the city is leveled.
We see Laurel get knocked down inside CNRI. (Did anyone else hope think she wasn't going to make it?). She's stranded underneath the rubble and begging for help. Oliver rushes to her rescue, but he's not the one who saves her. Tommy gets there first and pulls her to safety. He promises he's right behind her, but when she turns around the building collapses.
Oliver goes inside and finds Tommy, who knows he's not going to make it. He asks Oliver if he killed Malcolm, and Oliver tells him he didn't. Before he dies, Tommy apologizes to Oliver for being a bad friend.
As Tommy slips away, Oliver loses it. He thinks he should have been the one to die. But wait a minute, back-up, did Tommy really just die?!
Writers, you win. All season we've been led to believe that Tommy would go to the dark side in the finale, but instead, this episode proved to be his redemption. Not only is this a great twist, but it's a bold move. The show didn't need another do-gooder, and leaving the episode with Tommy suddenly stepping into the Dark Archer suit would have been both predictable and underwhelming — and this finale was better than that. Much better than that. Here's to closing out the season right.
Now, time for your comments. What did you think of this episode? Were you as shocked as I was about Tommy's death? Will the writers find a way to bring Tommy back (I personally hope not. It would ruin the greatness of this twist)? Where does this leave Oliver?

So it's been a while since LG made a tablet. They aren't the only ones that have been skittish in a market dominated by the iPad and the low-margin Kindle Fire (I don't see Motorola or HTC rushing to make anything new). But as an in-country rival to Samsung, LG's absence has been felt more than others. It looks like the company intends to make a return with the G Pad 8.3, a sequel to the original Optimus Pad.
The G2x isn't the only exciting high-end device making its Magenta-colored debut today; LG's 8.9-inch G-Slate is having its coming-out party on this fine Wednesday as well.
Now, T-Mobile would happily lure you into a two-year contract with an attractive starting price of $529.99, but a wise tablet buyer would immediately note that taking such a route would cost a total of $1250 over the next 24 months - not to mention the toll of being unable to upgrade to the latest and greatest in the rapidly changing world of tablets.
Remember that onslaught of dual-core smartphones and Honeycomb-running tablets we have been anticipating for a while now? It has already begun - and it is only going to keep on growing. The latest rumored release is for the LG G-Slate and G2X, which, according to TmoNews, are both set to launch at T-Mobile stores on April 20.
The dual-core G-Slate (also known as Optimus Pad) will be, along with the upcoming Galaxy Tab 10.1, the first Honeycomb-running rivals to give the Motorola XOOM a run for its money.
With the wave of Tegra 2-powered phones and tablets that is already on its way, there lay a potential of a fragmented Android Market: those apps that require NVIDIA's new dual-core processor, and those that don't. Frustrating time spent searching the Market in vain could have loomed on the horizon. Thankfully, somebody was thinking ahead, as the Tegra 2 search engine Tegra Zone has arrived to help avert such confusion.
Tegra Zone gives you every Tegra 2-specific game in one place, including all the showcasing one would expect (screenshots, HD videos, etc.).
Yesterday's announcement by Samsung of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 might have seemed like something of an echo of the Motorola XOOM. Well, with LG's recent unveiling of the Optimus Pad at MWC, we can still see some resemblance but with a few alterations making it worthy of further attention.
First up, the Optimus Pad refrains from the somewhat popular 10-inch screen diagonal seen on both Motorola and Samsung's tablets. If you have doubts about the handiness of a 10-inch device, it seems that LG shares your sentiments: the Optimus Tab scales the display back to 8.9 inches, while maintaining a similar 1280x760 WXGA resolution.
Well, well, well, what do we have here? The device Engadget found in LG's CES booth (see the thumbnail above and the video at the source link) could very well be the long-rumored Optimus Pad. The 8.9-inch device, which is said to be powered by a Tegra 2 dual-core processor, is something I have been lusting after for a while now.
While we can't be sure that the device in the thumbnail is the Optimus Pad, it sure looks a lot like the render below.

Great work JD! How about the rest of the Toads?
Posted 25 January 2009 - 01:24 PM
Wow! Those might be the nicest painted ones I've seen yet! Good job!
I wish I could paint mine without ruining them (I'm a bad painter). Though I do plan on snagging a couple of the Upgrade kits for the extra cards (for homeade card purposes), and I could always practice painting on the extra minis that come with it. I may have to.
Posted 25 January 2009 - 10:04 PM
Great paintings. I wouldn'y even attempt to paint my figures as I have no experience at such matters and would not want to ruin them. However, maybe some of you "figure painters" out there should consider painting our figures for a small fee. I am sure I am not the only "hopeless artist" out there !!!!!!
Posted 25 January 2009 - 11:17 PM
Fantastic job. The detail is amazing. I wish I had your talent.
Posted 26 January 2009 - 03:29 AM
Amazing! I painted mine last week, and while my skills are nowhere near yours, it was my first time painting figures ever, any colors on the figures bring the game more to life in my opinion. I had a great time and only put in about 5 hours painting all of them, but all the guys I play with thought my work was good enough for what we do. I will try to post some pictures later today or tonight, and show how bad they really are. I would suggest everyone paint their figures, even if it is your first time!
Posted 26 January 2009 - 06:01 PM
I do enjoy painting minis, but I tink if I had ever painted mine as nicely as you painted those, I'd actually really be afraid to even use them.
Great job.
Posted 26 January 2009 - 07:41 PM
Really fine painting!
These days I'm painting my set of Characters and I've obtained a decent result so far, but I know my skill is limited. I wish I had your perception of shadows and a firm hand to paint the details, especially faces. Every time it comes to eyes, eyebrows, lips, I always get a clown face instead of a natural expression.
Posted 27 January 2009 - 01:02 AM
Here, let me show a mini I´ve painted:
"You are now a SLIMY Toad for 3 turns!"
I tried to get a very "lifelike" - and specially SLIMY - look in this toad. To do so, I used Ink glazing and gloss varnish
To see more of the Slimiest little Toad, here: http://picasaweb.goo...feat=directlink
By the by, the Toad is a great starting place for painting begginers - you have 4 of the little fellows, when in doubt you can paint them fully in green, and with this big, mellow eyes, you can´t miss in face painting!
Posted 27 January 2009 - 08:10 AM
Dang it!
How do I get pictures into this post?
Can anyone point out a link for me so I can share pictures?
Posted 27 January 2009 - 08:48 AM
Have a look at the Forum text editor user's guide.
The button in the toolbar when you post shows a picture. Upload a pic to Imageshack or similar and link it to the post.
You can use the box that comes up to alter the image size etc too.
Posted 27 January 2009 - 11:44 AM
Ah, I think I got it now. Thanks for the link Talismanisland.
Ok, The ghoul, Elf, and Monk, all get some kind of "prop" in their miniature. (Gravestone, Stump, step) that gets to travel around with them wherever they go. So I decided to do that with some (soon all) of the other characters as well. Here is the first one.
The Assassin..
Sneaky as he is, he gets to hide behind a wall wherever he goes. This enables him the element of surprise!
Posted 27 January 2009 - 12:12 PM
Thanks for all the complements, I'm blushing.
I ran out of space on my Flickr account so I couldn't upload all the toads right away. I'm on vacation right now, but I'll try and get the rest of the toads up next week.
As much as I would love to help people out by painting their figures it take me 2-4 hours per figure. So we'd be looking at a pretty large fee rather then a small one.
I put about 3 clear coats on each figure so they should be pretty durable. Talisman has been a favorite game of mine for most of my life, so I couldn't bring myself to play with anything less the best I can manage.
Posted 28 January 2009 - 11:38 AM
Awsome job!! Two wery enthusiastic thumbs up!
Posted 30 January 2009 - 04:09 AM
Totally cool! I love your paint job--very well done. And the props are an awesome touch (and one I might steal, heheh).
Posted 30 January 2009 - 05:37 AM
He he he...Thanks..
I will start a thread with the rest of the minis as they are completed.
Posted 09 February 2009 - 11:30 AM
Nice Work! I just hope my failing eyesight will allow me to do something good with mine.
Posted 09 February 2009 - 07:00 PM
That's some nice work, although it looks like you avoided metallics entirely? Your painting style reminds me of late 80's/early 90's boardgame pieces like the examples for HeroQuest and Dragon Strike.
Posted 09 February 2009 - 07:22 PM
it so great!!!!

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Tucker!
Facts about Tucker
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Black & White Or Tuxedo
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Tucker's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, and good with cats.
Meet little Tucker, he is just a little kid right now who is scared in his picture. He doesn't understand why he is at PetSmart and not a nice warm home with a loving family. Tucker is 7 months old so he is still a baby, but he is so sweet and wants to be loved.
Please come meet little Tucker and be his forever family
You can visit me 7 days a week at PetSmart in Bethlehem / Winder, Georgia. We are over in the cat section of the store, just look for me in my pretty hammack.
We rotate our cats/kittens in and out of PetSmart to give them a break and allow them freedom to run around our shelter. If you are interested in a certain cat please call Jill before your visit to PetSmart and tell her which cat/kitten you are interested in so she can make sure the cat/kitten is there for you to visit.
You can also call Altered Feral State if you want more information on me, just ask for
Jill (770) 876-0659
And of course all the nice people at PetSmart will be glad to help you adopt me here at the store. At Altered Feral State, we work with feral cat colonies.
All of our kittens were removed from the colonies and completely socialized when they are less than 8 weeks old. We don't offer them for adoption until they have been tested, vaccinated and spayed or neutered. Our adoption fee of $100.00 only covers a very small portion of our costs, but to us, it's all about finding the best home for these wonderful kitties.
Please make an appointment with your personal Veterinarian for a well cat check up, your Veterinarian may recommend additional vaccines depending on the cats/kittens age. These costs are your responsibility.
Other Pets at Altered Feral State, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Tucker, a Monroe Domestic Shorthair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Monroe, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair kitten from a breeder in Monroe.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Monroe already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Monroe breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Monroe paves the way for another one to be saved.

Commentary: Steele: Keeping systems, and elections, fresh
By Andrew Steele firstname.lastname@example.com October 8, 2013 12:24PM
Updated: October 14, 2013 8:25AM
This is a boring — perhaps thankfully — political October. There's no election Nov. 5. But it won't be long before the machinations of the 2014 election begin. Much of it will never see the light of day, as potential candidates jockey behind the scenes.
The structure of electoral politics is set at the national level, and that's not changing any time soon. Changing local elections would be difficult too, but if we wanted to do something big, to shake up the set pattern local politics have taken, we (or, ultimately the policymakers in Indianapolis) could. We could make elections non-partisan.
Candidates can, and should, be honest about their party affiliations. And, they can, and should, take advantage of the party structures, in terms of organization and the financing, that exist. A party label can help candidates mount viable campaigns and can help voters situate candidates on the political spectrum.
But, in terms of the electoral process, local elections have been strait-jacketed by the national process in a way that's completely unnecessary. The two rounds as they exist — a partisan primary followed by a "general" election — structure things in a way that's unnecessary.
In Lake County, the Democratic primary has become the important election. It shouldn't be that way. Republicans often get wrapped up in their fealty to the state and national party. It shouldn't be that way.
The problem is mainly on the county level. It's understandable why Democrats win there. It's not because voters want corrupt government, as someone once suggested. It's because Democrats — again, mainly on the national level — earned the loyalty of a majority of Lake County's voters.
It's that sort of loyalty, though, that becomes a problem over time.
But the best thing would be to do two rounds, in the fall, in a non-partisan fashion. Every candidate is on the ballot in the first round; the top two go on to the second. And, don't list political party on the ballot.
This wouldn't make politics non-partisan. It would just help nudge things away from partisanship structuring everything, including voters' perceptions that result simply from the party label next to a candidate's name.
This will probably never happen, but it could, and it could help open up the political process, at least on the county level.
There's always a degree of inertia that hinders changes like that, and a very pronounced case of that emerged in Gary last week, when a report by the Indiana State Police spared no niceties in its criticism.
That the department could be in that state of operation, and for the city administration to decide that what's needed is to get state troopers on the streets, is a good example of how easy it is to be blind to the problems directly in front of our faces.
Systems go stale, and then spoil, very easily, and often without anyone noticing. Sometimes it's good to consider changing systems simply for the sake of avoiding staleness, and before things get rotten.

11 Songs a Man Should Be Listening to This Week
Passion Pit amp up, and other new tracks worth checking out. (Listen to this week's playlist on Esquire Spotify and come back every Music Monday.)
By Andy Langer
Song of the Week: Passion Pit, "Carried Away," Gossamer
It's predictable, but dependable: The shortest, surest path to outrunning the sophomore slump is to double down on what you brought the first time. For Passion Pit, that's synthesizers piled upon synthesizers, a ridiculous number of synthesizers, as if they're chasing some kind of Guinness record for most synthesizers on a single track. If there's a guitar in here somewhere and I'm not sure there is it's probably just a synthesizer programmed to sound like one. Luckily, they've also doubled down on pop song craft, and if this isn't one of the bounciest sing-alongs of the year, it's definitely a last-minute contender for song of the summer.

A defensive stop, an interception, and a perfect lob pass for a touchdown gave St. Marys a lead. And down just one point midway through the second quarter, St. Marys had a chance to take the lead going into the half with the ball inside the Wildcat five yard line.
SIDNEY — In a rematch of last year's division VI regional final, Minster defeated Lehman Catholic 41-13 at Sidney Memorial Stadium on Friday night.
The Wildcats now head into next Saturday night's showdown against defending conference champion Delphos St. John's with a 2-0 record.
FT. LORAMIE — New Bremen's gameplan found roadblocks when three of its running backs went down to injury on Friday night against a tough Fort Loramie defense.
For Fort Loramie it was open highway in a Route 66 battle.
With a pair of touchdowns in the first half and three touchdowns in the fourth quarter allowed the Ft. Loramie Redskins to beat the Cardinals 34-0.
"They are a good football team," New Bremen head coach Rob Messick said. "They just outmatched us physically up front and we just have to get better."
Here's what filled up Sports Editor Brian Smith's notebook during the week in preparation for Week 2 of the high school football season. Attached are rosters for this week's St. Marys-Kenton, Minster-Sidney Lehman and New Bremen-Fort Loramie games and a look at the St. Marys-Kenton football series through the years.

Facts about Quince-Courtesy Post
- Breed: Schnauzer (Miniature)/Schnauzer (Standard) Mix
- Color: Black
- Age: Senior
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Quince-Courtesy Post's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, purebred, a special needs pet, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Meet Quince! This friendly and loving miniature schnauzer was rescued from a breeder of many dogs and is looking for a furever home! Approximately 9 1/2 years young, he may be called a senior boy, but he has so much energy and love to give! Quince gets along with dogs (he has two larger dogs as foster siblings) and cats and all ages of people. Quince loves to be held and lay next to you when watching television or reading. He is crated during the day and over night and any time no one is home. Quince does have an enlarged heart and needs to take daily medication. But it sure doesn't slow him down. Quince knows that senior dogs have a harder time finding a family to love them. He is convinced that someone out there will give him the chance. Might it be you?
If you'd like to make Quince a part of your family, please contact Sue at firstname.lastname@example.com. She can fill you in on this sweet guy!

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Quince-Courtesy Post, a North Olmsted Schnauzer (Miniature)/Schnauzer (Standard) dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Schnauzer (Miniature)/Schnauzer (Standard) for sale in North Olmsted, or seeking a Schnauzer (Miniature)/Schnauzer (Standard) dog from a breeder in North Olmsted.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in North Olmsted already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a North Olmsted breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Schnauzer (Miniature)/Schnauzer (Standard) breeders who help with Schnauzer (Miniature)/Schnauzer (Standard) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in North Olmsted paves the way for another one to be saved.
