Chelsea Thomas is now a two-time First Team All-American selection |
May 30, 2012
COLUMBIA, Mo. - Two members of the 2012 Missouri softball team have been named All-Americans, announced on Wednesday afternoon by the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA). Redshirt junior Chelsea Thomas picked up First Team honors, while senior Ashley Fleming was selected to the Second Team. Both Thomas and Fleming were named All-Americans last year.
Now a two-time First Team All-American, Thomas finished the season with a 27-9 record and a 1.16 earned run average. In 229.1 innings pitched, she struck out 306 batters - the second-most ever in a single season at Missouri - and walked only 80. Thomas was named Big 12 Pitcher of the Year for the second straight year, becoming just the second player in conference history to win the award multiple times. She also set the program record for most strikeouts in a career earlier this season and now has 942 heading in to her senior year.
One of the program's best offensive players of all-time, Fleming will leave Mizzou as a two-time Second Team All-American. She led the team in all major offensive categories this season, hitting .365 with 16 home runs, 12 doubles and 51 runs batted in. She stole nine bases in 12 attempts, got on base at a .463 clip and posted a .702 slugging percentage while posting a perfect 1.000 fielding percentage.
Her career batting average (.340) is ninth-highest ever at Mizzou, while she finishes her career with 201 hits, the seventh Tiger in program history to surpass 200 hits. Her 43 career home runs are tied for second-most at Missouri, while her 173 career RBI are fourth-highest ever.
Fleming and Thomas become the third players in Missouri history to win All-America honors multiple times. The Tigers have had nine All-America selections under head coach Ehren Earleywine since he took over in 2007.

And how would he allow people the choice to stay with the old medicare program? Who is stupid enough to switch knowing that the voucher amount is less than the cost of the old medicare to the gov? And how does this pre-existing condition feature of Rmoney plan work as far as you understand? So a person who is sick and afraid that his employer would fire him would simply buy private insurance at the healthy person price and that is it? That sounds real stupid. IMO, pre-existing feature will not work unless we have a mandate. If you disagree, please explain it to me. Thanks. |
Right now, Obamacare and the healthcare system in general has not really done much to address that fundamental issue. We are on an unsustainable trajectory with healthcare spending, just like we have been with higher ed spending. The answer is not hide those costs further but to face them in the open.

Joking aside....as I see it we have two distinct problems: over prescribing (of meds and services) and over-pricing. (In case it is not clear, I am agreeing with you.) (BTW: I am intrigued that you mentioned over-prescribing but did not mention over-pricing. Hmm. I will try very hard not to tread anything nefarious into that but it is very hard.) I think over-prescribing can be dealt with by regulations such as say no mammograms for women above 80. Or no colonoscopy for people over certain age unless some other factor is present. Or not allowing crestor if zocor works, etc etc, etc. But these should come from medical profession and not from insurance or government. The over-pricing should be death with like costco deals with suppliers. Costco is big. It can get favorable pricing. Same should happen with medicare. Yes, some doctors would stop accepting medicare and that is ok. Medicare need not be the type of program that would give you options as if money is no object. I think the above two can be achieved without voucherizing the system. What happens when your voucher is not enough to get you a reasonable insurance? I do not trust the voucher idea and even more seriously I do not trust Republicans. This, IMO, is a hoax, a ruse, a sad joke. Perhaps the idea in theory has some merit but I just do not trust Rmoney. Think about it.....this guy wants to give everyone a 20% tax cut (read, multimillionaires will see millions in reduction of their taxes.) Then he would cut down on deductions that would certainly and disproportionately hurt the middle class. I simply do not trust Rmoney and Republicans. If you recall Rmoney said he would take care of the 47% as they can get healthcare by going to the ER. This plus his famous tape makes me have no doubt that he has no compassion for the poor or even the middle class. He will simply and only take care of the super rich. In that context and with that backdrop there is no way I would trust Rmoney or Republicans to overhaul medicare as much as such overhaul might be necessary. |
Good post. |
Obama is going to have to come back in the second debate hammering away on the unrealistic assumptions in Romney's tax plan. The problem is that he's got to somehow simplify the math while at the same time not oversimplifying it to the point that Romney could easily deflect it.
Romney has to prepare for this and counter with some explanation on why it would work. |
Part of it, however, is probably related to the opaqueness of the healthcare system. Kinda like NASA and the $20K toilet seat (does it really need to cost that much?) If people TRULY knew how much things were in healthcare, they'd be up in arms like they are about higher ed costs and inflation. Both healthcare and college/university costs have just spiraled out of control compared to the general inflation rate over the last couple of decades. Surprisingly, College inflation has outpaced even healthcare inflation. [businessinsider.com] Last edited by rrc06; 10-05-2012 at 11:18 AM.. |

Neighborhood fishin' headed to Tyler
Tyler (KETK) — Are you looking for a way to enjoy the outdoors without traveling miles and miles to get there? You can now catch a big one in Tyler!
Neighborhood Fishin' is an outing that every member of the family can enjoy. For Texans who live in urban areas, this program offers fishing opportunities close to home. Texas Parks and Wildlife Department works in partnership with local governments to stock channel catfish and rainbow trout in small neighborhood lakes. These fish are fun to catch, and they're stocked frequently in season, so there's nearly always a fresh supply of fish available to take your bait.
The designated fishing area is Woldert Park Pond, located at 501 W. 32nd Street down hill from the Glass Recreation Center.
Catfish stocking begins April 25!

Formatted HDD...Do I still need it formatted?
about 1 1/2 years ago, i was having BSOD issues...MS worked with me for a long time (KUDOS!!) Anyway...the cause of my problem was an overheated CPU due to the crappy stock fan INTEL sells you...
Very Long story short...MS formatted my HDD, I think it was just a "back up or dup installation"...and now I want my 90 gigs back and avail to me...how can i tell if W7 and everything is just duplicated on my disc or if I still need the formatting? It is called Drive D and I never seem to have to access it... I hope this makes sense. |

17 Nov 2011 | #2 |
The main file is called WINDOWS IMAGE BACK UP ...it is 60 gigs w/ 17 files and 4 folders.
It is READ ONLY |

Doesn't make much sense to me.
You say you want 90 GB back and that you can't access the D drive. Your second post implies you made an image file. Is it on the D drive? It's a way of restoring your PC to the way it was at the time the image was made. You don't need that image file to operate and you can delete it and reclaim the space--if that is what you want to do. But I'm unclear on your situation. More details or better explanation needed. What is on the D drive? You may be able to delete it and add the space to C--if that is what you want to do. A screen shot of your Disk Management window would probably help decipher the situation. |
My System Specs |
17 Nov 2011 | #4 |
Yeah, I'm very much confused as well.
On a side note, the Intel fans are rated and tested for the processors they ship with. If you had an overheating CPU, the HSF was either not installed properly, or the case itself was failing to properly cool the system. |
My System Specs |
17 Nov 2011 | #5 |
OK...forget the fan issue...it was solved...the plastic clip was worn (cheap) and i bought a new fan and everything works fine now...
Back to D drive...Yes...I want the space back that is being called D drive...I want it back in my C drive... Disc Management window? Unclear what that is exactly... The Files on the D Drive are: New Volume: (D) WIndowsImageBackUp> Stone-HOME> Backup 2010-03-18 144458> 10 XML Docs 2 VHD files Catalog> Backup Global Catalog Global Catalog SPPMetadataCache> File |

You can get to Disk Management by typing those 2 words in the start search box.
In all likelihood, you (or "MS") created a D partition and then stored an image of the C drive on that newly created D partition. Are you positive you have no personal data on D? If you don't, you can delete the D partition in Disk Management. That will generate "unoccupied space". You should then be able to "expand" C so that it takes up that unoccupied space, through Disk Management. But a screenshot of what you see in Disk Management would be much preferred to confirm your situation. |

There is no personal data...it was created on mar 18 2010 and not touched since...all the "Date Midified" are the same.
Yes MS did it for me while truing to solve BSOD issues due to overheated PROC ( unknown at the time). I tried to Prtsc...but nothing happened... ALSO...Thank you for your time |

A printscreen won't magically cause a picture to appear in this thread.
You'd have to paste that printscreen into your photo editor. save the file, and then attach that file to your next post in this thread using "manage attachments" function. No need to do that to the extent you have no personal data on D. Just delete the partition in Disk Management. Highlight it and look for "delete volume". |

Core77 Questionnaire
This is the latest installment of our Core77 Questionnaire. Previously, we talked to Leon Ransmeier.
Name: Giulio Cappellini
Occupation: I'm an architect and the art director of Cappellini.
Location: Milan
Current projects: I'm working on some new products for Cappellini, and also on two new showrooms for the company—one in Rome and the other in London.
Mission: I always say that my mission is to try to make people dream. That means that we try to do products that are good and nice and useful for others—but I think that really we have to work a lot on beauty, because nobody needs useful but horrible products. So I think that the most important thing in my mission is to try to make people smiling and dreaming.
The Peg sofa and table by Nendo are two of several new furnishings launched by Cappellini during last April's Salone Milan
Jasper Morrison's Elan sofa system was first released in 1999. Cappellini has now expanded the range for its 15th anniversary.
When did you decide to pursue a career in design? Since I was a kid. I think it started when I was six or seven years old, playing with Legos and making small drawings of architectural buildings or furniture. So, really, this passion started when I was very small.
Education: I studied architecture at the Politecnico di Milano, and during university I had the opportunity to work for one year in Gio Ponti's studio, which was a fantastic experience. I always say that one year with Gio Ponti was worth five years at the university. Then, after the Politecnico, I studied marketing at Bocconi University in Milan for one year.
First design job: When I entered the Cappellini company, it was a very small company, not working on design, just producing furniture. So I started by asking Rodolfo Dordoni to design some products for us, and I also began to take care of the art direction for the company.
Who is your design hero? Definitely Ray and Charles Eames, because when I see the Eames products after 50 or 60 years, they are still so contemporary and so beautiful. Also, when I look at the Eames house and studio—today, people like to mix different products and different styles, with different designs by different people, and really the Eameses started to do this 50 years ago, mixing traditional and contemporary design products. This idea of freedom was for me very, very strong.
This year, Cappellini began producing Shiro Kuramata's Steel Pipe Drink Trolley, designed in 1968.
Describe your workspace: Chaos. My desk is always full of small objects and papers and books. I like to surround myself with a lot of color and with many books, which I use as references.
Other than the computer, what is your most important tool? For me, paper and pencil is my life; I always need to have them with me.
What is the best part of your job? For sure, the creativity. Many times, people say that everything has been done in design. I absolutely disagree, because I think that, really, we have to invent so many new things. There are still a lot of things to do.
What is the worst part of your job? The hardest part is to try to do good projects while staying in a reasonable budget. Today this is very important. If the company tells me that I can spend one hundred, I have to do my best to have a good result with that one hundred. Or if the company tells me that I can spend one thousand, then I try to have the best results spending one thousand. So it's to control, very strictly, the budget.
Above and below: Cappellini's booth at the 2014 Salone
What time do you get up and go to bed? I get up very early in the morning, at 6:30 a.m. And if I'm not traveling—and I'm travelling, more or less, 200 days a year—then I go to bed at 11:00 or 11:30 p.m.
How do you procrastinate? Normally, I try to decide what is necessary to be decided very soon. But I also like to read books and look at magazines and so on. Because by being curious, you can always find new ideas.
What is your favorite productivity tip or trick? I think that it's to try to do a few things but good things, and always to try to work on innovation—to try to do today something better than what I made ten years ago.
What is the most important quality in a designer? I think that it's very important to be professional. For sure, to be a good designer you need a lot of creativity and a lot of passion for your job. But you also have to be very professional. To realize a new project is not just to make a sketch or design it on the computer, but to follow it from the beginning to the end of the project, like a baby.
What is the most widespread misunderstanding about design or designers? I think that people are sometimes still afraid of design products. They like to see them in the permanent collection of contemporary art museums or through the shining windows of beautiful design showrooms, but they say, "OK, this is beautiful but I cannot imagine it in my home." So I think that we have to work a lot at communication, to make people more friendly toward design products. People have to understand that designers are creating good products for their everyday life.
For 2014, Johan Lindstén has created new floor and table versions of his Meltdown pendant.
Also new for Cappellini: a bronze version of Jakob Wagner's Branch Table and a new version of the Brest cabinet, designed by Giulio Cappellini
What is your most prized design possession? In my house, I have the S-Chair designed by Tom Dixon. This chair is really still a classic of contemporary design.
What is exciting you in design right now? The market is moving very fast. So in the past, being in Italy, we were thinking of the Italian market or the European market. Today we have to think that the market is going everywhere in the world. We have to think of South America, the Middle East, the Far East, and do something that is understood by all these people.
If you could redesign anything, what would you choose? Maybe just a coffee cup. Or a glass. Something very simple that we use every day. I like very much to work on very simple items.
What do you hope to be doing in ten years? I think that we have to take care of the real needs of the end consumers. Today, people like to mix different products designed by different people, produced by different companies in different periods and in different parts of the world. I think that the new concept of design is this new freedom of the end consumer, and that design will evolve in this direction in the next years. So we will try to create products that can fit in very different environments—classic environments or very modern environments, environments that you can find in the States or in Italy or the Far East.
Lastly, who's more fun to have a drink with: architects, industrial designers, or graphic designers? Well, today there are a lot of people who are at the same time architects, industrial designers and graphic designers. But, for my job, I always really like to discuss new projects with industrial designers.

Many of these women and thousands of others use CycleBeads a visual aid developed by the Institute to help women manage their fertility to plan or prevent pregnancy.
Now CycleBeads are available in a deluxe man-made cats-eye version in three colors. There is a growing interest in the United States in effective, easy-to-use natural family planning. Were pleased that the manufacturer is making this new version available, as it may appeal to more women, said Victoria Jennings, Ph.D, director of the Institute for Reproductive Health and co-developer of CycleBeads.
According to Leslie Heyer, President of Cycle Technologies, the company that manufactures and distributes CycleBeads under license from Georgetown University, deluxe CycleBeads are a response to consumer demand. We heard from many women that they wanted something more attractive that they could carry with them or leave out on their nightstands. They also wanted options in terms of the colors.
Like the classic CycleBeads, the deluxe version is a string of 32 color-coded beads which identifies the 12-day "fertile window" of a woman's menstrual cycle. A reddish bead marks the first day of a womans cycle, the colored beads represent days when pregnancy is unlikely, and the white beads represent days when pregnancy is likely. A black marker is used to track the days.
To use CycleBeads, a woman simply moves the black marker over the color-coded beads that represent her fertile and low fertility days. Each day she moves the ring one bead, always in the direction of the arrow located on the clasp. When the ring is on any of the colored beads, there is a very low likelihood of pregnancy. When the ring is on the white beads, which glow-in-th

24. Pittsburgh Steelers: Dont'a Hightower
24. Pittsburgh Steelers: Dont'a Hightower
LB, Alabama
Seriously, out of all the Alabama players that are going to go in the first round, Dont'a Hightower could legitimately end up having the best and most impactful career out of anyone. It's not just the fact that he has NFL-talent, a good attitude and the right instincts to succeed at the next level. Equally important to the equation is who he'll end up with. And if he ends up in Pittsburgh's defense, a 3-4 that he would perfectly fit into, the combination of being in a good environment and being good for that environment will extend and benefit Hightower's career like few other things could. Perfect marriage.

heaven=ylang ylang and sweet orange oils blended on the wrists!!!
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Aura Cacia essential oils seem to be moderately priced and great quality. I am not an essential oil expert but I have trusted Aura Cacia oils for my beauty and medicinal purposes for about 6 years now. The brand is easy to find as it is stocked in most health stores, which takes the frustration out of searching and online purchasing (unless you know what you want and don't need to test it). I have, and have tried, the following oils: Bergamot, Sweet Basil, Cardamom Seed, Cinnamon Leaf, Rosewood, Cypress, Lavender, Rosemary, Eucalyptus and probably several others that I forgot to restock. I like, and would buy them all again (except the Cinnamon Leaf which I don't care for). I use the Lavender and eucalyptus the most; putting several drops in water atop our woodstove; this helps purify the air of germs when you are sick and helps respiratory health. The internet is a great resource for ways you can use essential oils for beauty and health. Also, each of the bottles has interesting information about the specific oil it holds and a suggested use for it. For those that think essential oils are only for scenting a room or a perfume I recommend looking into them further. As essential oils can be used for that and so much more. They are not oils as you think of olive oil or vegetable oil but are in fact volatile oils extracted from specific parts of a plant. The one thing I was surprised to learn when I first started using them is that if they are not used properly they can do more harm than good. This is largely because they are so potent and many have healing, antiseptic and anesthetic properties (for instant clovebud oil can be applied in very small amounts for mouth irritations and discomforts but can prove irritating if not used properly). If any of this sparks your interest, do your homework; there is a whole exciting world of essential oils to explore (you can wow your friends with different remedies for their ailments and have a great smelling house at the same time!). Anyways, I hope this review helps you to decide on your purchase. One more thing I would like to add is that Aura Cacia uses child saftey caps on their bottles which is a must if you have children and a hard time keeping them out of stuff; however I have had one bottle that I couldn't open because it got stuck and after trying numerous times (from time to time) I finally gave up and threw it away. Happy hunting!

I have the vanilla, sandalwood, almond, apricot and apricot kernel versions and love them all. All of them smell fresh and natural (except the apricot which is essentially unscented). I use all of them as a body moisturizer, and the apricot kernel version to remove mu. I'm finding more and more that I don't need any other lotions, cremes or moisturizers except these. Very happy with the whole line.

i have the lavender and peppermint oils. i use them to relieve headaches and put them in my bath water for relaxing. i've also made a lavender linen spray and put lavender in my green tea/ACV toner, etc. they seem to be quality oils & i can find them conveniently at my neighborhood supermarket.
I love Aura Cacia's products. I can't comment about the prices, because the market prices for different oils rise and fall, and thier price points reflect the going price. For instance, sandalwood is currently very expensive, but the tree is also overharvested and somewhat rare. Their oils are the real thing, very strong, fresh, and I've never had a bad one. I especially love their cedarwood oil.

I have some of these EO's in lavender, a few citrus scents, as well as a few others. The prices are very reasonable and the bottles are quite large. I'd definitely buy EO's from aura cacia again.
I have a couple of Aura Cacia's oils and mostly NOW essential oils. The spearmint Aura Cacia smells kinda weird, but I don't have another spearmint to compare it with. I think their oils are nice and I also have a lavender salt bath and a lavender spray from them.
I don't know much about other companies that sell EO, but I'm pretty sure Aura Cacia is definately an affordable and reliable company. You can tell because their more expensive EOs like jasmine and neroli are not extremely diluted, and the EOs are sized and priced according to their rarity.
Aura Cacia provides good-quality essential oils that are readily available to th American public. They offer a wide range of oils at reasonable prices and do an excellent job in marketing and distributing their oils.
A great introduction to aromatherapy especially for the novice.

The collectable minifig gallery is taking shape
Posted by Huw,I've made a start on the collectable minifig gallery: I had series 3 handy so I've done them first.
I'd appreciate your feedback on the categories I've used, I'm hoping all figs will fall into one of the 5: present day, present day sports, historical, futuristic and fantasy, but I can tweak them if that's not the case.
47 comments on this article
Yay! Thank you Huw! I think that the pics are wonderful. The catagories will work well for the CMs, I think. You might want to put the mummy in historical, though.
nice whats next
Lovely! The Mummy looks a bit like a polar bear in a snowstorm though ;-)
Nice, are you going to add the other minifig collections?
I would have categorised them in series instead. I'm glad you've started with a few.
Why not sort them by series?
I think they are great. I would leave them where they are if I was you. Whats next? Series 2? Series 1?
Excellent work again. A suggestion may be to make an exception for the collectible minifigures and include their accessories. I can see why you wouldn't, but they sort of seem slightly not themselves. (Oh god! Empathising with minifigs.....)
Good gallery, love the category placements!
That's another great work, sir!
Should you continue with your categories, I would suggest " sports and recreation" so you could actually place the fisherman there, as well as other figures from the first two series. But maybe along the line you could diverge a little more with your categories. :-)
Also, there seem to be a lot of musicians and clowns, and others, so I would also suggest "arts and entertainment" as another category...again, that's just me.
Excellent pictures as usual but I agree with a couple of others that they should be in Series categories otherwise people who aren't well informed won't know which figures are from which series!
Could they have a Series tag so that we could filter by series if we wanted, similar to the BF/AF (before and after flesh) filter?
Nice work Huw, the gallery looks amazing, and dividing them into those categories is a neat idea. I especially like the way you've put the cap on the rapper sideways, he's just that cool! :)
How about a 'Horror/Monster' theme (Zombie, Witch, Mummy, Vampire, Frankenstein's Monster, Werewolf)?
Also, I second the arts/entertainment theme! :]
Great! I like all the minifig gallery, great work!
The horror/monster theme is also nice! So is the series tag!
Thanks for the continued effort spent on these galleries. I know that I had a lot of fun taking pictures of my Series 3 minifigures when I first got my hands on them back in November: http://www.flickr.com/photos/wiredforsound23/5202541078/
Categories are perfect, but the fisherman's beard is off center. :P
Why don't you include the accesories as well? That is probably the only thing I do not like about it.
Honestly, my only suggestion would be to arrange them by series.
^^ I agree......not a big fan of the categories. If Lego advertised, referred and/or identified them as such.....I would agree. It's perfect to make it simple and put them by series.
It actually isn't called "Collectible Minifigures", it's just "Minifigures". Nice job for providing these nice pictures.
Looks Great, Accessories would be great in addition to these pics, also a black or gray backdrop to make the light figs really pop i.e. mummy :) keep up the good work!
Great photos, but I'd love to see them organized by series...
More excellent pics - thanks !
I would drop "Present Day" and "Present Day Sports". The latter can just be "Sports". I'd suggest a "Music" Category and a "Workers" category (e.g. nurse, fisherman etc.). Anything that's left can just go into "Other".....
Keep them by series please. That's what they are.
I don't intend to show them in series, sicne you can do that anyway at e.g. http://www.brickset.com/minifigs/myCollection/?category=Collectible+Minifigures+%2f+Series+3+Minifigures&showOwned=1&showNotOwned=1 if you're logged in.
I'm looking forward to seeing similar figures from different series grouped together. However I will add (series 3) or whatever to the end of the names to aid identification.
Thanks @DrD for the suggestions, I suspect I'll refine the categories once I add series 1 and 2 which will hopefully be later this week.
Looks great. But I agree with the others, the categories will need to be tweaked when you add series 1, 2, and 4 eventually...
category for Monster/Horror will help....
I like it! I think the categories are great!
Another great job Huw, I cannot wait to see the rest. But I really think you should include pictures of the accessories.
I'm not sure Categories are needed. Being un-official, they will always be subjective and open to debate. Are the Pilot and Explorer Present day or Historical ? Where would you put the Kimono Girl or Demolition Dummy ? It could be a bit of a can of worms. If you want to keep them, maybe rename Present Day to: City, a nice Lego catch-all. And include the Series before the minifig name.
And I agree you should have a standard grey background for light coloured minifigs, like the Mummy.
Thats my two pennies ...
Love all the pics. The Mummy came out fine. On my screen it's clean and clear on my end.
For categories...my suggestion, instead of 'futuristic' and 'fantasy' put 'Fantasy and Sci-Fi' together as one category.
Like another above, 'Sports and Recreation' is better to include the Fisherman and a variety of others.
For the Rapper and Hula Girl, they can fall into 'Arts and Entertainment'. So many from the other series will fall into this category.
For Historic...I'd say put just 'History' as the heading.
Then you'll have others like Traffic Cop, Nurse etc. they can go under like a 'City/Town' category.
I'm guessing Gorilla Suit Guy and Crash Test Dummy could be put in a 'Misc.' spot but it's debatable like Gorilla Suit Guy can fall into Arts and Entertainment and Crash Test could be in 'City/Town'.
Yes, distilling all the comments above, It definitely seems like if you go with these 6 (or 7) categories...
1) Arts & Entertainment (This category is vital, since many of these figs would never be included in normal sets!)
2) Sports & Recreation
3) City Workers (incl. hazmat guy, nurse, sailor, cop, crash test dummy, graduate, zoo keeper, lumberjack)
4) Historical (incl. 1800's explorer, WWII pilot, kimono girl, royal guard, Sherlock Holmes, 1920's gangster, Inuit)
5) Futuristic
6) Fantasy / Monsters (incl. the gnome, the monster-movie-style mummy, the mad scientist, and Godzilla guy)
...then this will set up at least one solid category for every future fig, with minimal debate over category overlaps.
And yes, the crash test dummy is a wildcard, but he would go perfect under "City Workers".
He has the hardest job of all! =)
And I am sure that people will want to put the Gorilla-Suit-Guy (as King Kong) versus the new Godzilla-Suit-Guy!!
I think there should be a category for horror. A lot of these are taken directly from the movies. The question is: Where does the witch go? She's taken directly from "The Wizard of Oz", she's scary, but that's not a horror movie... Then again, if it's only called horror, it wont necessarily have to be that exclusive.
Fantastic! Just what I was hoping for! However, I was excepting them to be listed by series, not by theme/category.
Still good!
@The_real_indy - I totally agree with you! Great ideas!
I think this gallery is great idea, as set pictures are made in a 3D program, shown by how they have flexible body parts.
When I watched the pictures I only had one thought. Mummy's do exist and are not a Fantasy and therefor belong to the Historical. And see what the very first comment was.
All the rest is up to you Huw because everyone will have their own wishes and you can never do right for everyone.
Keep up the good work.
It's interesting how much discussion the ordering and grouping of the pictures is causing! Clearly it's a subject everyone's passionate about!
I'm totally understanding the Mummy being in the fantasy section. Yes, mummies do exist, but the LEGO minifigure Mummy is a character with yellow/green glowing eyes that thumps around causing goosebumps to creep up on unexpecting skin (or worse...). It's not a historical representation of a mummy.
I like the categories this way because it kind of allows you to see what figures there are instead of what series collections there are (I actually group my collection, hold your socks on with this one, by predominant color. There are many sites out there that show the series (including this one). Seeing the minifigures in similar categories allows a collector to get a more overall view of the collection series.
I'm not sure what categories I'd suggest, but I do know that I'm not feeling the "present day" and "present day - sports" groups. There just seems like there should be better groups than those. I like the "historical" and "fantasy" labels but think that the more traditional "sci-fi" would be more appropriate for the "futuristic" group. It seems like the "sports" is going to grow into a really large group and some subdivisions may be necessary.
I can't wait to get home and play around with my figures to see what groups I can come up with. I really think that better groups will evolve once more pictures are available.
Yet another great gallery Huw! But I think it would be a tiny bit better if they were organized by series. But then again, I don't own any of the collectible minifigs, so I probably shoudn't complain ;)
The more I look at these categories...the more I hate them. Sorry Huw....but being honest. I vote for these minifigs to be listed by series. This is what the general public and fans of the minifigs know best.
Yeah, I'm more under the impression that the Mummy belongs to a 'Horror' category along-side Vampire, Witch, Werewolf and Frankenstein's Monster than it does a 'Historical' category. It's just not a realistic rendition of a mummy.
I like the idea of the categorical view - you can already view them by series using standard Brickset features. The categories will help when someone wants to collect by kind (like, I want all the 'Movie Monster' figures), not by series. That said, I'd like to see 'Futuristic' be changed to 'Sci-Fi' - but that's just a personal preference.
I also think you could create a 'Circus' category for the Clown, Magician, Ringmaster, etc. They could, however, be lumped in with other figures if you went with the 'Arts & Entertainment' idea.
As an offshoot of the mummy debates, I just thought that of all the characters so far, the crash test dummy is the only one which is supposed to be not alive, technically...so it can't be placed in any category. It's in a league of its own!
Posted by Orthobotrex in Philippines, Mar 15 2011 1:58AM:
...the crash test dummy is the only one which is supposed to be not alive...
And the garden gnome. (Creepy little things, they are. Put it in 'horror' with the vampire, etc.)
Commenting has ended on this article.

The event drew more than a hundred people from all over the county and brought together midwives serving both the homebirth and hospital communities.
According to the organization, the goal of the Northern California Birth Collective is to "support families and connect professionals."
The president of the California Association of Midwives, Constance Rock, spoke about the current political climate of CAM and licensed midwives around the state.
"In 2013, the state of California will determine the future of licensed midwifery. Legislators are now hearing from constituents who want the care of licensed midwives to be available to all California families," said Constance.
"If we act now, it's possible that new legislation will increase access to quality, affordable maternity care by changing the outdated law that currently requires physician supervision. This will enable licensed midwives to have functional working relationships with doctors, and accept Medi-Cal payment for home birth and freestanding birth centers. If we do nothing, the ability to hire a licensed midwife could be severely restricted or even disappear."
There are many things that interested individuals can do in regards to changing the current legislation.
The Northern California Birth Collective holds their monthly meetings at Mendocino Baby and a current calendar of events can be found on their website at http://norcalbc.blogspot.com/p/home 9.html. All of their monthly events are free. If it's resources you need, the Northern California Birth Collective can help. For more information about the Collective or Mendocino Baby, please feel free to call 462-1020.

If you're visiting Old Line Fine Wine, Spirits & Bistro superstore, you might be a while. An impressive selection of craft beers, wines, and spirits makes the bottle shop a much more desirable place to get lost for a few hours than a hedge maze patrolled by a minotaur. Racks house thousands of different wines from around the globe, while the aisles' shelves and coolers feature row after row of both ubiquitous and hard-to-find beers from breweries large, small, and everywhere in between. After all that hopefully fruitful wandering, visitors can venture into the bistro, where they'll find a stocked bar with 20 craft beers regularly rotating on tap and a menu of New American eats, including a full page dedicated to the glory of hamburgers.
The cooks at Sierras Grill & Taqueria have plated heaping portions of classic and contemporary Mexican cuisine since 1989. Fish tacos with pico de gallo and guacamole join house specialties such as the Acapulco Princess?crabmeat, baby shrimp, and white-wine sauce wrapped in a flour tortilla?which is served atop a single pea. The cuisine masters also fuse American flavors into Latin American recipes, crafting empanadas stuffed with buffalo chicken and served with sticks of celery. Cocktails such as margaritas and beers such as Dos Equis and Shiner Bock complement each meal.
The prevalence of artificial ingredients in processed food had made Americans 13% less likely to know all 50 state capitals. Succor your high-fructose corn-syrup hangover and red dye #40 fears with today's Groupon to William's American Bistro: $10 for $25 worth of sustainable, organic, and fresh fare. Impress your fellow foodies with the skillfully prepared delights and premium ingredients of the New American cuisine.
Pollo Cabana?s smaller menu allowed the chefs to perfect their rotisserie-style Peruvian chicken. They first marinate the poultry in a house blend, and then cook them on a spit over a bed of charcoal. And with a name dedicated to pollo, it is no wonder that their signature chicken is found in nearly every dish. Chickens are served whole or cut into pieces in platters, and chefs pair them with Latin-influenced sides, including fried yucca, fried plantains, and rice and beans. Chicken also serves as the main protein in wraps flavored with signature aji amarillo chili-pepper sauce, salads drizzled with jalape?o0lime dressing, and quesadillas. And the chefs can supersize platters for catered gatherings celebrating birthdays, anniversaries, or the first time you ate at Pollo Cabana.

Over the weekend the American Express Starwood Preferred Guest personal and business credit cards increased their sign-up bonus from a total of 25,000 to a total of 30,000 SPG points. This typically happens just once a year at some point in the summer, and due to the very high value of SPG points it is worth paying attention to even though it is "just" a 5k increase.
For the first day or two you had to be referred by a current SPG Amex cardholder to get the increased bonus, but now the bonus is open to anyone via the links below (for those curious, those are not my affiliate links, just the best offer out there).

Both award 10,000 Starpoints after their first purchase on the Card in addition to 20,000 Starpoints after they make $5,000 in purchases within their first 6 months of Card Membership.
Note that the terms state: "Welcome bonus offer not available to applicants who have or have had this product within the last 12 months" for the business card and "Welcome bonus offer not available to applicants who have or have had this product" for the personal card.
All that said, if you are feeling a bit generous, I would try and get referred by someone as they will get an extra 5,000 SPG points for referring you (up to a max of 55,000 points per calendar year). You will still get the exact same 30k offer, but you will add a little extra "free" travel to someone else's account. Obviously if you have a spouse, partner, family member, or friend that can refer you then I would use their referral to keep the points "in the family". However, even helping out an internet stranger must count for something in your travel karma bank account. You can find offers from people ready and willing to refer in the comments section of this post, and anyone is welcome to leave that info in the comments section of this post as well.
I'm also more than happy to refer anyone if you like (email me mommypoints at mommypoints.com), but would really love to see the travel karma spread around some between Mommy Points readers! You do have to be willing to share your name and email address in order to get a referral.
Referrals and approvals need to occur by June 30, 2014 to be eligible for this limited time offer, so I wouldn't wait too long if you are interested. Also note that you can only refer for the exact card type that you have. This means if you have the personal card, you can't refer someone for the business card so keep that in mind when locating or offering out a referral. If you want to send out a referral to a friend or family member, here are the links you can use below.

Amex Starwood Preferred Guest Card Personal Referral
Now may be the perfect time to get that friend or family member of yours into the miles and points game. They get what is likely the best offer of the year for these cards, and you get a little something extra for your efforts. Just be sure to stick around and help them learn how to redeem their SPG points, too!

Thanks Summer for the post. Let me know if you need a referral link. I can refer both personal and business version of the card.
I can provide referral links to the personal SPG card. This card helped me take my family to Kauai a couple of weeks ago so I'm a huge fan of it!
Chrissy Snyder, how many points you used in kauai & for how many days???
mommy point: sure thanks for your input.
We used 40,000 miles each for 3 on USAirways for our award travel from PHX to LIH. I booked in February for a May trip so I'm sure there are better redemption values if you book further out. My husband got the USAirways card with the 40,000 mile bonus and then we transferred points from his SPG to his USAirways account. With some miles he already had, it was enough for 2 of our tickets. The 3rd ticket was through my USAirways account.
My email address for anyone wanting a referral is: crsnyder4ATgmailDOTcom
Oops, sorry Patrick, we stayed for 6 nights at the Kauai Marriott Resort. I used Marriott points for that. I'll be writing about that trip on my blog linked above. Check back there for more details as I get the posts up.
And Thanks MP for the tip on adding the email. I forgot that they aren't published above!

An anonymous reader writes In the recent Slashdot discussion on the D programming language, I was surprised to see criticisms of Pascal that were based on old information and outdated implementations. While I'm sure that, for example, Brian Kernighan's criticisms of Pascal were valid in 1981, things have moved on since then. Current Object Pascal largely addresses Kernighan's critique and also includes language features such as anonymous methods, reflection and attributes, class helpers, generics and more (see also Marco Cantu's recent Object Pascal presentation). Cross-platform development is fairly straightforward with Pascal. Delphi targets Windows, OS X, iOS and Android. Free Pascal targets many operating systems and architectures and Lazarus provides a Delphi-like IDE for Free Pascal. So what do you think? Is Pascal underrated?

An anonymous reader writes: "There's an app for that!" It's been both an educational comment and a joke for years, now. There are so many small, single-purpose pieces of software available that it's impossible to keep track of everything apps can do. Indeed, when I'm looking for more usefulness out of my phone, I tend to browse the various app stores for interesting software, trying to figure out what more the phone can do for me. But a recent article turns that around and asks: for what tasks does the software have yet to be written? Though most of the article itself doesn't focus on that subject, it got me thinking about apps I'd like to see. (Which was harder than I expected.) I'd like an app that'd help me diagnose bad noises my car makes. I'd like one that can aggregate all my communication channels into one screen. I'd like one that can easily pick up program states from one PC — like an IDE session — and carry them to another PC. What apps are you still waiting for?

An anonymous reader writes After two years of development, Google today released Android Studio 1.0, the first stable version of its Integrated Development Environment (IDE) aimed solely at Android developers. You can download the tool right now for Windows, Mac, and Linux from the Android Developer site. Google first announced Android Studio, built on the popular IntelliJ IDEA Java IDE, at its I/O Developer conference in May 2013. The company's pitch was very simple: this is the official Android IDE.

lars_doucet (2853771) writes Flash CC now has an SDK for creating custom project file formats; this lets you use the Flash IDE to prepare and publish content for (not-the-flash-player) compile targets. Among these new platforms is OpenFL, a fully open-source re-implementation of the Flash API that exports to Javascript and C++ (no Flash Player!), among other targets: When Adobe demoed the custom project feature at Adobe MAX the other night, they brought out Joshua Granick (lead maintainer of OpenFL) to show off a custom OpenFL project format that lets you make Flash Art in Flash CC, then compile it out to Flash, HTML5, and native C++ (desktop+mobile) targets. Maybe Adobe heard us after all?

First time accepted submitter baka_toroi (1194359) writes I got a Tungsten E2 from a friend and I wanted to give it some life by programming for it a little bit. The main problem I'm bumping up against is that HP thought it would be awesome to just shut down every single thing related to Palm OS development. After Googling a lot I found out CodeWarrior was the de facto IDE for Palm OS development... but I was soon disappointed as I learned that Palm moved from the 68K architecture to ARM, and of course, CodeWarrior was just focused on Palm OS 4 development.
Now, I realize Palm OS 4 software can be run on Palm OS 5, but I'm looking to use some of the 'newer' APIs. Also, I have the Wi-fi add-on card so I wanted to create something that uses it. I thought what I needed was PODS (Palm OS Development Suite) but not only I can't find it anywhere but also it seems it was deprecated during Palm OS's lifetime. It really doesn't help the fact that I'm a beginner, but I really want to give this platform some life. Any general tip, book, working link or even anecdotes related to all this will be greatly appreciated.

Qbertino (265505) writes I've been rummaging around on old backups and cleaning out my stuff and have once again run into my expert-like paranoid backups and keepsakes from back in the days (2001). I've got, among other things, a full set of Debian 3 CDs, an original StarOffice 6.0 CD including a huge manual in mint condition, Corel Draw 9 for Linux, the original box & CDs — yes it ran on a custom wine setup, but it ran well, I did professional design and print work with it.
I've got more of other stuff lying around, including the manuals to run it. Loki Softs Tribes 2, Kohan, Rune, and the original Unreal Tournament for Linux have me itching too. :-)
I was wondering if it would be possible to do an old 2001ish setup of a Linux workstation on some modern super cheap, super small PC (Raspberry Pi? Mini USB PC?), install all the stuff and give it a spin. What problems should I expect? VESA and Soundblaster drivers I'd expect to work, but what's with the IDE HDD drivers? How well does vintage Linux software from 2003 play with todays cheap system-on-board MicroPCs? What's with the USB stuff? Wouldn't the install expect the IO devices hooked on legacy ports? Have you tried running 10-15 year old Linux setups on devices like these and what are your experiences? What do you recommend?

mpicpp (3454017) writes with word that Mozilla released a full development environment integrated into Firefox (available now in nightly builds). From the announcement: Developers tell us that they are not sure how to start app development on the Web, with so many different tools and templates that they need to download from a variety of different sources. We're solving that problem with WebIDE, built directly into Firefox. Instead of starting from zero we provide you with a functioning blueprint app with the click of a button. You then have all the tools you need to start creating your own app based on a solid foundation. WebIDE helps you create, edit, and test a new Web application right from your browser. It lets you install and test apps on Firefox OS devices and simulators and integrates the Firefox Developer Tools for seamless debugging and inspection across those devices. This is a first step towards debugging across various platforms and devices over WiFi using open remote debugging APIs. The default editor is based on CodeMirror, but the protocol for interacting with the IDE is open and support for other editors (Emacs anyone?) should appear soon.

An anonymous reader writes "'Save your work!' — This was a rallying cry for an entire generation of workers and students. The frequency and unpredictability of software crashes, power outages, and hardware failures made it imperative to constantly hit that save button. But in 2014? Not so much. My documents are automatically saved (with versioning) every time I make a change. My IDE commits code changes automatically. Many webforms will save drafts of whatever data I'm entering. Heck, even the games I play have an autosave feature. It's an interesting change — the young generation will grow up with an implicit trust that whatever they type into a computer will stay there. Maybe this is my generation's version of: 'In my day, we had to get up and walk across the room to change the channel on the TV!' In any case, it has some subtle but interesting effects on how people write, play, and create. No longer do we have to have constant interruptions to worry about whether our changes are saved — but at the same time, we don't have that pause to take a moment and reflect on what we've written. I'm sure we've all had moments where our hands hover over a save/submit button before changing our minds and hammering the backspace key. Maybe now we'll have to think before we write."

An anonymous reader writes "Light Table is a Kickstarted, open source IDE that's been trying to integrate real-time feedback into code creation. Part of their process has been figuring out how to improve the practice of programming, from top to bottom. They've put up a post about the troublesome aspects of programming that we've learned to deal with and take for granted, but which need solving if programming is to be made accessible for more people. 'Surprisingly, one of the most common difficulties we have heard from beginners is just running code. Even if we were to hand [a new programmer the whole source code] they would likely still struggle to actually use it. They have to install dependencies, compile code, start servers and open ports. At each step the errors are difficult to diagnose and time-consuming to fix.' But these problems extend to experienced coders, too: 'The simplest question we could ask about our application is "what is the current state." Bizarrely, very few programming environments give you any help on this front. Many programmers get by with nothing but print statements.' It's interesting to see somebody working on these issues, instead of accepting that they're the status quo and just part of the experience of programming."

An anonymous reader writes "Chris Granger, creator of the flexible, open source LightTable IDE, has written a thoughtful article about the nature of programming. For years, he's been trying to answer the question: What's wrong with programming? After working on his own IDE and discussing it with hundreds of other developers, here are his thoughts: 'If you look at much of the advances that have made it to the mainstream over the past 50 years, it turns out they largely increased our efficiency without really changing the act of programming. I think the reason why is something I hinted at in the very beginning of this post: it's all been reactionary and as a result we tend to only apply tactical fixes. As a matter of fact, almost every step we've taken fits cleanly into one of these buckets. We've made things better but we keep reaching local maxima because we assume that these things can somehow be addressed independently. ... The other day, I came to the conclusion that the act of writing software is actually antagonistic all on its own. Arcane languages, cryptic errors, mostly missing (or at best, scattered) documentation — it's like someone is deliberately trying to screw with you, sitting in some Truman Show-like control room pointing and laughing behind the scenes. At some level, it's masochistic, but we do it because it gives us an incredible opportunity to shape our world.'"

lars_doucet (2853771) writes "The latest Humble Weekly Bundle is titled 'Celebrating Open Source,' and features eight indie games, with charity going to the open source tools used to develop them. The open-source programming language Haxe is strongly represented: three of the charities include the Haxe Foundation, itself OpenFL (recently featured on Slashdot), and FlashDevelop, the most popular open-source Haxe/ActionScript IDE. The fourth is Ren'Py, the Python-based visual novel engine used in award-winning games like Long Live the Queen and Analogue: A Hate Story.
The games themselves are Magical Diary, NEO Scavenger, Offspring Fling!, Planet Stronghold, and for those who pay $6 or more, Anodyne, Defender's Quest, Evoland, and Incredipede, as well as 6 soundtracks. 7 of the 8 games are cross-platform across Mac/Win/Linux, and all are DRM-free."

Nerval's Lobster writes "Google's Android Studio is a development tool for Android based on the IntelliJ IDEA platform, one that managed to attract a lot of hype when it rolled out in mid-2013. Roughly a year later, the platform is still in 'early access preview,' and work on it is ongoing. Eclipse, on the other hand, is the granddaddy of IDEs; although it doesn't offer native Android support, it does have some nice tools to help you build Android applications—one such tool is the Google Plugin for Eclipse, made by Google. Developer and editor Jeff Cogswell compares Eclipse and its Google-made Google Plugin with Google's own Android Studio, developed with the help of the people who make IntelliJ IDEA. His verdict? Eclipse is beginning to show its age, especially when it comes to Android development, while Android Studio offers some noted benefits. 'Android Studio is still in preview mode, without an official release, even if that preview is in pretty fine shape—its status certainly shouldn't prevent you from using it, at least in my opinion,' he writes. Do you agree?"

itwbennett writes "Writing about his career decisions, programming language choices, and regrets, Rob Conery says that as a .NET developer he became more reliant on an IDE than he would have with PHP. Blogger, and .NET developer, Matthew Mombrea picks up the thread, coming to the defense of IDEs (Visual Studio in particular). Mombrea argues that 'being a good developer isn't about memorizing the language specific calls, it's about knowing the available ways to solve a problem and solving it using the best technique or tools as you can.' Does using an IDE make you lazy with the language? Would you be better off programming with Notepad?"

jones_supa writes "At FOSDEM 2014 some recent developments of GNU Hurd were discussed (PDF slides). In the name of freedom, GNU Hurd has now the ability to run device drivers from user-space via the project's DDE layer. Among the mentioned use-cases for the GNU Hurd DDE are allowing VPN traffic to just one application, mounting one's own files, redirecting a user's audio, and more flexible hardware support. You can also run Linux kernel drivers in Hurd's user-space. Hurd developers also have working IDE support, X.Org / graphics support, an AHCI driver for Serial ATA, and a Xen PV DomU. Besides the 64-bit support not being in a usable state, USB and sound support is still missing. As some other good news for GNU Hurd, around 79% of the Debian archive is now building for GNU Hurd, including the Xfce desktop (GNOME and KDE soon) and Firefox web browser."

msmoriarty writes with news that the Eclipse foundation is ten years old this week. Although Eclipse was released in 2001, development was controlled by IBM until the creation of the independent Eclipse Foundation in 2004. "According to Eclipse Foundation Director Mike Milinkovich, that's a major reason Eclipse was able to thrive: 'IBM....did an exemplary job of setting Eclipse free ... We became the first open source organization to show that real competitors could collaborate successfully within the community.' He also talks about misconceptions about Eclipse, its current open source success, and what he sees for the future."

New submitter KDE Community writes that the KDE project has released KDevelop 4.6.0 as the latest version of the free and open source integrated development environment. "KDevelop 4.6.0 improves debugging support with GDB. The GDB integration improvements include some operations now going into effect immediately rather than needing to re-run the program, improved debugging from external terminals, and a CPU registers toolview. KDevelopers' CPU registers toolview also allows for showing and editing all user-mode registers and general purpose flags for x86/x86_64/ARMv7 platforms. Other KDevelop 4.6.0 changes include greater language support within the PHP plug-in, Python language support improvements, more C++11 language support, improved project management, and a clean-up to the IDE's user-interface."

A man is dead and a Yellowstone County sheriff's deputy is on administrative leave after a shooting in Lockwood on Saturday night.
Yellowstone County Sheriff Mike Linder said deputies were called to a home for "suspicious activity" on Canary Avenue in Lockwood just before 10 p.m. A news release said the first deputy to arrive called for backup after shots were fired.
The release said a "male subject" died and that the exact cause of death is still under investigation.
"Names are not being released at this time because it's an ongoing investigation and there hasn't been an autopsy at this point," Linder said on Sunday afternoon.
Linder would not release the age of the man, or any other details related to the shooting.
Linder said the deputy involved is on paid administrative leave.

An inexpensive economical solar heating system for homes
2 editions published in 1976 in English and held by 326 WorldCat member libraries worldwide A low-cost solar home heating system to supplement existing warm-air heating systems is described. The report is written in three parts: (1) a brief background on solar heating, (2) experience with a demonstration system, and (3) information for the homeowner who wishes to construct such a system. Instructions are given for a solar heating installation in which the homeowner supplies all labor necessary to install off-the-shelf components estimated to cost 2,000. These components, which include solar collector, heat exchanger, water pump, storage tank, piping, and controls to make the system completely automatic, are available at local lumber yards, hardware stores, and plumbing supply stores, and are relatively simple to install. Manufacturers and prices of each component used and a rough cost analysis based on these prices are included. This report also gives performance data obtained from a demonstration system which was built and tested at the Langley Research Center

Flight test measurements from the Tu-144LL structure/cabin noise experiment
by Stephen A Rizzi
4 editions published in 2000 in English and held by 271 WorldCat member libraries worldwide This follow-on flight experiment on the TU-144LL Supersonic Flying Laboratory, conducted during the period September 1998 to April 1999, was a continuation of previous Structure/Cabin Noise Experiment 2.1. Data was obtained over a wide range of altitudes and Mach numbers. Measured were: turbulent boundary layer pressure fluctuations on the fuselage over its length; structural response on skin panels using accelerometers; and flow direction over three windows using "flow cones". The effect of steps in the flow was also measured using two window blank pairs; each pair bridged by a plate which created small sharp forward and aft facing steps. The effect of transducer flushness with the exterior surface was also measured during flight. Flight test points were chosen to cover much of the TU-144's flight envelope, as well as to obtain as large a unit Reynolds number range as possible at various Mach numbers: takeoff, subsonic, transonic, and supersonic cruise conditions up to Mach 2. Data on engine runups and background noise were acquired on the ground. The data in the form of time histories of the acoustic signals, together with auxiliary data and basic MATLAB processing modules, are available on CD-R disks more
