Extended Doctor Who THE TIME OF THE DOCTOR Trailer
By Kyle Anderson on December 18, 2013
The end of the Eleventh Doctor is very definitely nigh. In fact, it's only one week away now, and BBC America has released this extended trailer for Matt Smith's swan song, "The Time of the Doctor," which shows us more of the Daleks, Cybermen, Silence, and Weeping Angels we knew about, but also a lot more of who seems to be behind the whole thing, i.e. the woman with the greasepaint over her eyes. Clearly she's met the Doctor before, but who is she? It looks to be a very sad and heroic ending for Number Eleven, and one that will very likely lead to the biggest discussion in the coming months, that being how the Doctor could have more than 12 regenerations. I hope the answer we're given is: "Who cares?"
Before the Christmas Farewell-Sad-Times will be an hour-long Farewell to Matt Smith special, in which the actor himself and others who worked with him will reflect on the four years of the Eleventh Doctor. Like it or not, Tennant fans, Smith is the Doctor who ushered in the biggest spike in popularity in this country ever, and to many he is THE Doctor. He's certainly my one.
All the festivities kick off on BBC America Wednesday, December 25th, at 8/7c. Get your Kleenexes handy.
"Who cares" about the regenerations indeed! River gave him ALL of her remaining regenerations. Plus, the Master has been killed permanently and resurrected so often; the 8th Doctor TV movie he was ashes in a box and in The End of Time he was bodiless and resurrected again. The Doctor will be FINE.
he got some spare regenerations from river song, "all of her's" but dose this mean that the Doctor's daughter (his female clone) only has 3 left?
Crying already!
This makes me excited and sad, but mostly sad. I've had months to grieve for 11 and somehow I don't think I'll ever stop. Matt Smith, was indeed, born to be The Doctor
Kyle, you keep suggesting that the question about what happens after 12 regenerations is upon us, but it's not!
With the inclusion of John Hurt, Peter Capaldi will be the 13th Doctor, or the 12th regeneration. We aren't facing the question until Capaldi's Doctor dies. -
Thank you, Matt Smith, for the magic, romance, brilliance, heartbreak and adventure you brought to the role. These were the best years the show has ever had – best writing, best story lines, best companions – but they couldn't have made any of it work without the Best Doctor. Ever.
@Dale – Per Moffat and his writing staff, the regeneration that David Tennant did with his hand and created the second David Tennant Doctor counted as one of his regenerations.
That being said, Moffat does not want to break the rules established in the current cannon. But, there are many options avalible to them to extend his regeneration count or find a loophole. There is 50 years of material to pull from so I just hope its a good explanation.
The problem with the 12 regenerations is that we're forgetting that near the end of the fourth season, the Doctor gets shot by a Dalek and begins regenerating as he is taken into the TARDIS where he links up with the severed hand (which was cut off during The Christmas Invasion) in the container and pretty much regenerates from David to still David. And as mentioned in the comments already there's the whole thing with River giving him her regeneration energy.
Thank you Dale Cooper!! People seem to keep forgetting that!
So here's the thing about regenerations, that isn't all that difficult to find if you do a little googling:
It's been suggested that the 13 lives (12 regenerations) are a part-evolutionary/part-social development to keep Gallifrey from becoming overpopulated. However, with the Time Lord social order all but gone, it's quite easy to imagine that the Doctor's own DNA has evolved past that regeneration limit. Narratively, pair this with Capaldi's upcoming search for the hidden-away post-war planet of Gallifrey, and I think you've got the building blocks for a great new overall arc. Perhaps the Doctor expects to die in the special, and his regeneration surprises even him. Then, finding answers about that will be a part of his ongoing search for Gallifrey.
That said, not all plotholes are forgivable; how the hell did the Doctor and Clara escape the timestream at the end of the Day of the Doctor?
Another thing everyone keeps forgetting, is that the regenerations were decided and controlled by the time Lord councils. And since they no longer exist, the doctor does not have to obey the rules. But heck, when has he ever obeyed the rules?
Matt Smith is the 12th Doctor as revealed in the Day of the Doctor. He also meets a later version of himself, played by Tom Baker (The Curator) who indicates that there have been other regenerations into past faces. So they've already blown the 12 regenerations out of the water.
I think the interview with Moffat regarding not breaking the rule probably don't convey his trademark dry delivery / implied snark.
I imagine that while he will definitely give lip service to it, but will find a way to then remove it.
It is possible it is a time lord imposed limit, just like fixed points in time. Bad things can happen breaking it, but the Doctor could break it if he put his mind to it.
Alot of regeneration canon was established with Tom Baker. You can regenerate more than 12 times your body degenerates (Assassin storyline), The Master was granted more regenerations by the High Council for rescuing The Doctor (5 Doctors) and Time Lords can inhabit other bodies thus by passing the body degeneration thing (Legopolis – The Master inhabits Nyssas Dads body). Plus River gave him all her regenerations as a Child of the TARDIS.
PLENTY of loopholes

I just got all kinds of sad…. the FEELS. THE FEELS!!!!
Did anyone else notice the super quick shot of Matt Smith in old age makeup when he flicks the sonic?

Posts tagged Betty White
best-dressed at the 2012 SAG Awards
The Help and Modern Family were big winners at last night's SAG awards. And while screen veterans Jessica Lange, Betty White and Alec Baldwin also snagged tops honors, we have to nod our heads to the following women for winning over the red carpet with style and grace.
Dianna Agron looked flawless in this pink number topped off with just the right amount of ruffle and a chic bohemian hairstyle.
Ashlee Simpson took us by surprise when she stepped out onto the red carpet last night. Looking fabulous from head to toe, she proved she's a fashion force to reckon with.
Oh, hello Emily Blunt! It's not enough that you have an awesome British accent, but you also have an amazing figure that looks good in any style. Green can be a risky red carpet shade, but Emily really rocked it out!
Emma Stone why are you so adorable? This beauty can do no wrong! Yes, her hair color changes, but her distinct eye for fashion does not.
Kaley Cuoco looked like a princess last night. Her hair was fairy tale perfect and her dress was straight out of a story book. Congrats to her for recently getting engaged to her prince charming.
Lea Michele has made some bold fashion choices this award season, and she continues to show us she's not afraid to stand out with this show stopping number.
It seems Naya Rivera can do no wrong when dressing for the red carpet. On top of being blessed with exotic features, she always chooses designs that compliment her body shape.
Beautifully strapless with a tousled up do, Viola Davis turned heads with this gorgeous look.
Sofia Vergara was looking muy caliente last night! This magenta silk gown hugged every curve of her body in the most flattering way possible. With her hair was pulled back and wearing just the right amount of diamonds there was no overlooking this style star!
Michelle Williams was definitely my favorite look of the night. This gorgeous red dress looked perfect against her porcelain skin. She looked timeless and sexy without going over the top.

Concierge.com's insider take:
This five-star hotel has 292 rooms, including 20 executive suites. The standard rooms are decent, but it's worth springing for one of the executive rooms or suites, all on the higher floors. These come with breakfast and offer a breathtaking view of the harbor or city. The hotel service is excellent, as is the buffet breakfast. There is an Italian restaurant, the Trattoria, as well as a coffee shop. The pretty pool is a great place to relax after a tiring day bargaining for souvenirs. The hotel has an excellent location, conveniently close to the city's main business district and a short taxi ride from the Gateway of India.

Ties were the best part of the day
Left - Kiton 7 fold - in less than perfect shape - small stain on the front, tag is a bit battered and there is some gunk on the back but it's a Kiton
Middle - Silk/wool blend Etro mistakenly tagged by the (usually way overpriced) store as "vintage paisley tie". Don't know how they missed it but glad they did.
Right - Polo handmade in Italy
I love that sweater. I just bought one very similar from Land's End. As far as the label, not terribly old. You can still find clothing at the outlet as well as BB stores that feature that label.

Defending Yourself Against "Legal Fiction" We as living people no longer know or understand who we are and everything has been inverted upside down. We have lost our identities and once again have given away our birthright for "bowl of pottage. " First Comment: Paul Greetings Henry, In our work to date, we have come across these claims several times: it's important to realize that some of themcan be substantiated with good authority, while othersappear to be theories that have somehow "morphed" into fact primarily for the one(s) asserting such claims.
Timothy Leary. Leary believed LSD showed therapeutic potential for use in psychiatry. He popularized catchphrases that promoted his philosophy such as "turn on, tune in, drop out" (a phrase given to Leary by Marshall McLuhan); "set and setting"; and "think for yourself and question authority". He also wrote and spoke frequently about transhumanist concepts involving space migration, intelligence increase and life extension (SMI²LE),[1] and developed the eight-circuit model of consciousness in his book Exo-Psychology (1977).
During the 1960s and 1970s, he was arrested often enough to see the inside of 29 different prisons worldwide.

Carlin and his "Seven dirty words" comedy routine were central to the 1978 U.S. Supreme Court case F.C.C. v. Pacifica Foundation, in which a 5–4 decision by the justices affirmed the government's power to regulate indecent material on the public airwaves. One newspaper called Carlin "the dean of counterculture comedians. Atheism. Atheism is, in a broad sense, the rejection of belief in the existence of deities.[1][2] In a narrower sense, atheism is specifically the position that there are no deities.[3][4][5] Most inclusively, atheism is the absence of belief that any deities exist.[4][5][6][7] Atheism is contrasted with theism,[8][9] which in its most general form is the belief that at least one deity exists.[9][10] The term atheism originated from the Greek ἄθεος (atheos), meaning "without god(s)", used as a pejorative term applied to those thought to reject the gods worshipped by the larger society.
With the spread of freethought, skeptical inquiry, and subsequent increase in criticism of religion, application of the term narrowed in scope. The first individuals to identify themselves using the word "atheist" lived in the 18th century. Arguments for atheism range from the philosophical to social and historical approaches.

Cinnamon Swirl Bundt Cake
by Robin Miller in Robin's Healthy Take, December 10, 2012
I invented this bundt cake recently for my sons and a bunch of their friends. We were having a sleepover and I wanted something easy and quick to serve for breakfast the next morning (we had an early outing planned and I knew it would be a mad dash for all). I baked the cake on Saturday, wrapped it tightly in plastic wrap (after it cooled) and then served it bright and early the next day. If you plan to do the same, sift the confectioners' sugar over the top just before serving. It's an amazing treat for kids and adults alike.
Keep this recipe in your back pocket this winter – it's an excellent breakfast or brunch for visiting house-guests and it makes a fabulous hostess gift for a holiday party. Your friends will like knowing that it's a lightened-up cake, made healthier by using low-fat yogurt instead of sour cream and light butter instead of regular butter or margarine. To jazz things up, you can also add 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans to the cinnamon-sugar, swirl layer.
Cinnamon Swirl Bundt Cake
Cooking spray
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 3/4 cups granulated sugar, divided
3 large eggs
1 cup lowfat vanilla yogurt
3/4 cup melted light butter or margarine
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Coat a 10-inch bundt pan with cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and baking powder. Set aside.
In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup of the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Mix well and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, beat together remaining 1 1/2 cups of the sugar with the eggs until blended and smooth. Beat in yogurt, melted butter and vanilla until smooth and creamy. Add the flour mixture and mix until just blended.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the cinnamon and sugar mixture over the batter. Top with remaining batter and smooth the top.
Bake 8 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees and bake 30-35 more minutes, until a wooden pick comes out clean.
Cool cake, in pan, on a wire rack. Invert cake onto a serving plate and sift confectioners' sugar over top.

Just like traditional carnitas, wild boar carnitas is simply shoulder meat braised in a flavorful liquid until tender enough to shred. Once the cooking liquid reduces, the meat is fried in its own fat until crispy on the outside but still tender on the inside. To complement the meat, I've added a fat-cutting spicy salsa of diced jicama, mango, lime, serrano chiles, and cilantro. Serve the carnitas on hot corn or flour tortillas with the salsa for a new twist on the taco-truck standard.
What to buy: You can find wild boar meat at gourmet grocers or online (scroll down).
Special equipment: You'll need cheesecloth and butcher's twine for this recipe.
Game plan: Unlike domestic pigs, wild boars are covered with a thick, short, bristly coat. Make sure to remove any errant hairs that may be stuck to the meat before cooking it.
This recipe was featured as part of our Game Meat Recipes for the Big Game.
- 1Place the marjoram, garlic, coriander, and bay leaves in a small piece of cheesecloth and tie it tightly with butcher's twine. Place the bundle in a Dutch oven or large heavy-bottomed pot along with the onions and salt. Arrange the boar in 2 layers and add enough water to just cover the meat. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Using a large spoon, skim and discard any foam that floats to the surface. Simmer uncovered, skimming the surface and turning the boar pieces occasionally, until the meat is tender and just beginning to shred apart, about 3 to 3 1/2 hours. (You may need to adjust the heat to medium low to keep it at a simmer.) Meanwhile, make the salsa.
For the salsa:
- 1Place all of the measured ingredients in a medium bowl, season with salt, and stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
For serving:
- 1When the meat is ready, remove and discard the herb bundle and onion quarters. Increase the heat to medium high and cook until the remaining water has evaporated and just the rendered fat is coating the bottom of the pan. Reduce the heat to low and let the meat fry in the fat, turning occasionally, until browned all over and starting to fall apart, about 20 minutes. Remove and discard any large pieces of unrendered fat.
- 2Serve the carnitas in the tortillas, topped with the salsa, with the lime wedges on the side.

Are the Red Sox going to win the World Series this year? Maybe. Probably not, if we're being totally honest. Hell, the Sox might not even reach the playoffs. But, if the Red Sox are crowned champions sometime this October, one needs look no further than these last two days to figure out when they made the leap, flipped the switch, hit a new gear, insert-another-cliche-here. On Wednesday night - Thursday morning, if we're being technical - the Red Sox won a 15-inning marathon against the Seattle Mariners. A Dustin Pedroia home run gave them the lead in the 8th, before that lead was given back in the bottom of the inning. For the next seven innings and more than two hours, neither team broke through. Finally, in the bottom of the 15th inning, Stephen Drew hit a bases-loaded single to give the Sox a 5-4 win.
Less than 24 hours later, the Sox rallied with a 6-run ninth inning to beat those same Mariners, 8-7, in a game Boston had no right to win. The rally was swift, but actually began the inning before, with a Shane Victorino home run to cut the lead to 7-2. In the top of the ninth, Jonny Gomes - an 8th-inning replacement - threw a runner out at third and ended the inning with an acrobatic catch that sent him hard into the left-field wall. Then, in the bottom of the ninth, the magic happened.
Boston's 6-run rally happened fast. Daniel Nava led off the inning with a walk. Then Ryan Lavarnway singled. Brock Holt hit a double to left, scoring Nava. Then Jacoby Ellsbury walked, Shane Victorino hit a 2-run single, Dustin Pedroia hit an RBI-single, and in the blink of an eye the Sox were down only one run and still nobody out. Then, David Ortiz, with a chance to win the game, struck out - suddenly the comeback seemed a bit less certain. Up came Jonny Gomes, and he didn't disappoint. After looking at what appeared to be strike three (it should have been strike three, can't deny that), Gomes hit a line-drive single up the middle to tie the game. Drew, the hero a night before, drew a walk, bringing Nava up once again. His single to deep center scored the winning run, and with that, Nava bookended the rally and the Sox were winners. Stunning doesn't even begin to cover it.
There you have it; two walk-off wins (bringing Boston's league-leading total to 11) in less than 24 hours. More importantly, "the moment." The Red Sox now have 11 walk-off wins, meaning one in every six wins this season has come in such fashion. For all the complaints and the anger surrounding Boston's lack of hustle, heart, and character these past few seasons - all warranted, by the way - this year's Sox have it all. Boston hasn't had this much chemistry since at least its 2007 World-Series-championship winning season. The team doesn't quit; how else can you explain 11 walk-off wins in 110 games? You can just see in the way the team mobs each night's hero that they're pulling for each other, invested in each other, and, most importantly, playing for each other. For the first time in years, it is evident that these players want to win for each other even more than they want to win for themselves. It sounds simply - obvious, even - but it makes a world of difference. This year's Red Sox finally care, and they care deeply.
I'm not saying the Red Sox will win this year's World Series. I'm certainly not saying they're the best team in the league, or the only team that cares, or the only team that plays hard. What I am saying is this; the 2013 Red Sox are fun to watch again, because they're having fun playing for each other. I won't be surprised if the Red Sox don't win the World Series; in fact, I'll be far more surprised if they do. But if they do, look back to these last two games. Look back to Jonny Gomes' diving all over the field. Look back to a 15-inning win followed by a 6-run ninth-inning rally. When you pop in that championship DVD, look for the music to change, and the voiceover to get serious. The journey all started in the wee hours of August first...

There remains an indifference on the part of the parents of some kids in Sandy Pointe towards their offspring extending their activities to an unoccupied house's yard across the swale in Edgefield. In effect doubling their yard to the other community and four other lots to the southeast. It sorely puzzles me that the parents can look out their back patio and know their kids are playing baseball in other people's yards. I know the kids are fluff-heads, concerned with only posturing for the girl of the group.

So what is the best way to inform the Edgfield and Sandy Pointe kids that I don't appreciate them playing baseball and football in the next-door empty home's backyard and my yard? Tonight they broke the tops off of two young trees in my yard. It was bad enough that they used the bushes as goal line since 'football season' in April. They have damaged the screen on the patio door and kitchen window in the empty house in those games. Now it's baseball and they place home base at those trees so they don't damage the empty house more than they already have.

Sooooo, the new Edgefield HOA board puts up a sign at the community entrance that admonishes homeowners to follow the rules.

With all these cuts I just sure hope things are better than they were when I was being educated in 1984 on the Island. I came in to HHI from surburban Chicago, an average kid who wasn't ever prone to disturb class and usually dressed in jeans and a t-shirt. I got sent to detention for wearing shorts that, for a brief moment, revealed my knees. That's according to the teacher. I'd never been to detention in my life. I'm still partly perplexed to this day why this happened.

Went off a bit in A.J.'s Blog there. Sorry, dude. I'll start up here. Bluffton Today blog cartoon pundut Wehavehadit should now submit his speed tests to A.J. to counter his wonderful, pie-in-the sky, off the router packaging box, detailed claim of Hargray specs which enable them to provide three tiers of speed (as in the Hargray radio ads). From varying people who use Hargray in town, this boastful claim is bunk. They can't provide the speed, they often don't provide the service without breaks that hit suddenly in "prime time" and daylight hours.

And this Oates guy just swung at his third strike. He might be pointing at the third base ump, but hopefully it's the end of his at bat. He went around. I think the angle of "self defense" all boils down to the number of shots and where. This incident was out of control from the start, but the idea that some guy "empties a clip" into a person... in front of witnesses...family... When a couple of careful body shots would have been enough for someone rational...someone that knows what "enough force" is... When "misses" would have caused more people to die...

Since I'm already ranting about driving this evening, let me extend a big "Howdy Doo" to the driver of the Lincoln MKD with NC plates in the north end HHI McDonalds who kept backing out of his space even when he didn't have room. It was a beautiful, sunny day until you put your car in reverse with those dim back-up lights in shiny plastic. Did you see me slow behind you and wanted to make a point? Did you not see me because of your dry cleaning hanging bar stuck across the back window? You had such a nice, big car it would have been a tragedy if you'd been dented by my POS Kia.

I used to think Bluffton had great dark skies for lots of stargazing. However, I think the star-party is about to be over. I'm disappointed that the SC Department of Transportation has cow-towed to the Old Sun City Foggies about how dark Bluffton is (now, was) at night. I just got an eye full of the overkill street lighting at the Buckwalter/278 traffic light. I mean, come on. It honestly struck me as if I'd skipped about seven states and was coming up to an intersection like I hadn't seen since the Chicago suburbs.

Moving in with my mom but she has set out the rules and the cats can't come along. Without a job, I can't cover my housing costs, their costs and vet care. They need their booster rabies and other normal stuff. At my vet that's a $300 expense. One has simple "special needs." It breaks my heart to let them go but there is no choice. Is it best to just start with placing them at a shelter? Is there any cat lover with money to spend who can take them in? http://www.flickr.com/photos/cynvision/tags/needahome/

I was really excited to get the opportunity to review a photo canvas from Easy Canvas Prints. I have seen them all over the web and have wanted one of the children for a long time. I played around on the site for a long time checking out the options. I knew I wanted a photo of the kids on the canvas but when I saw some of their art prints -- like Painted Background and Weeping Willow Sunset -- I almost changed my mind.
When I finally started to actually create my canvas it was pretty quick and easy. The hardest part was probably the decision of which wrap option to select, which is admittedly a little silly. I played around with the color options and decided to go with the color picture since it would be sitting on the piano.
I received the canvas quickly and it really is as cute as I expected. I want more. (I am still considering that Painted Background for above my couch!) My picture above has a bit of a glare on it that I didn't expect since I don't notice a glare when I look at it. In all it's a cute work of art with my kids shining faces on it. Perfection!
I put a button/link in my sidebar [over there --->] so you can go visit them for yourself. If abstract art isn't your thing, they have a lot of different art prints -- vintage, landscape, floral, you name it! But don't forget you can upload your own photo of your pets, your kids, your car, whatever. How can you go wrong with a photo of your own personal works of art?
DISCLOSURE: I was provided with an 8x10 photo canvas from Easy Canvas Prints for this review.

Knockout mice lacking the orphan nuclear receptor steroidogenic factor 1 (SF1) exhibit a complex endocrine phenotype that includes adrenal and gonadal agenesis, impaired expression of pituitary gonadotropins, and absence of the ventromedial hypothalamic nucleus (VMH). These multiple defects complicate efforts to delineate primary versus secondary effects of SF1 deficiency in different tissues, such that its direct role in gonadotropes remains uncertain. To define this role, we have expressed Cre recombinase driven by the promoter region of the common alpha subunit of glycoprotein hormones (alpha GSU), thereby inactivating a loxP-modified SF1 locus in the anterior pituitary gland. Although pituitary-specific SF1 knockout mice were fully viable, they were sterile and failed to develop normal secondary sexual characteristics. Their adrenal glands and VMH appeared normal histologically, but their testes and ovaries were severely hypoplastic. alpha GSU-Cre, loxP mice had normal levels of most pituitary hormones, but had markedly decreased expression of LH and FSH. Treatment with exogenous gonadotropins stimulated gonadal steroidogenesis, inducing germ cell maturation in males and follicular and uterine maturation in females--establishing that the gonads can respond to gonadotropins. The pituitary-specific SF1 knockout mice are a novel genetic model of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism that establishes essential role(s) of SF1 in pituitary gonadotropes.

Huntara is still a MUST HAVE from Filmation.
Beautiful, sexy, fearsome. She would be a unique looking character to include among the collection. And the Great Rebellion STILL needs more members!!!
Etherian Rebel JOSH for the MOTUC (see my avatar)!
Huntara has won the fan vote! Let's move this puppy out of support & speculation!
Done! So excited she won! I hope we get Lord Masque before too long.
Coming Soon. My line of 5.5'' action figures. EonQuest.com
I'm very happy that Huntara won the vote!!!
kind of surprised she won....glad she did tho!...more colorful figure
I'm really glad she won. I think she'll turn out to be a great figure. Can't wait. I'm assuming she'll be slotted in the Fall like Geldor.
Glad she won too. The other character - who I have never even heard of - look like the Eternian flasher.
Wow. It's awesome that Huntara is on the revised road map for 2014 or 2015!
It almost counts as another PoP reveal, along with Kowl, Loo-kee (?), Sea Hawk, Glimmer, Horde Troopers and Modulok!
Glad Huntra won. One of the few Flimation designs I like. Of course I'm screwed, cause I'm a cherry picker.
Wow, I forgot that I started this thread! I did not give up hope, even though I thought she was going to lose. I have said it so many times, but I am so happy that she won!
- - - Updated - - -
Don't forget Scorpia, not a full reveal, but we know she's coming!
- - - Updated - - -
Haha, he does look like a flasher in that picture!
I am surprised she won, but I am fine with it. Masque hopefully will appear down the line.
The Lurkiest
**Somebody please make me a Staghorn**
She WON?!?!??Huntara has won the fan vote! Let's move this puppy out of support & speculation!
AMAZING. Yes, yes, YES!
Now, where can I read about this Scorpia news?
At least this puts to rest any conspiracy theory that she could not win, and Masque was pre-arranged to win? RIGHT?
I am happy about this outcome.
Check out my MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE ART & More at my ART BLOG!!!
JafariStew's ART BLOG!! UPDATED 2.06.15!!
Jafaristew...the guy that coined the phrase "200X."
I was reading a thread over on mattycollector and Catra's Wrath posted that we actually know of 7 figures coming for 2014, Two badd, Hydron, modulock, glimmer, the pic who she said was obvious who it was (scorpia), the weapon that was shown (blade), and...huntara.
Sounds like she won't be pushed to 2015 after all!!!!
I am very happy that HUNTARA will soon see plastic!
I don't buy a lot of female action figures, mainly because of the rising cost of toys/plastic, but this is one figure I cannot wait to own.

Always Expect the Unexpected!
It's a She-Ra figure that's actually really badass!!!
What's not to love?
Go big or go home
Just curious, what is going on with Huntara's figure? Did Scott even mention her at Toyfair? Are we still getting her in 2014?
Possibly not. I think Catra's Wrath (a moderator at mattycollector.com) first said that Huntara would be a 2014 release, but Toyguru later corrected this answer by saying that Huntara would be in 2014 OR 2015.
However, as another "fan choice" winner will be in 2015 (i.e. Mara), it would make sense to include the other "fan choice" winner in 2014 to distribute them across the two years.
Huntara could be one of the two remaining slots in Club Etheria or in one of the remaining slots in the 2014 main subscription.
Good points; I imagine TG was hedging because of production uncertainty or problems, but I wouldn't expect them to have both fan choices in the same year unless there's a delay with Huntara. Making her one of the POP sub figures is something I hadn't thought of, but I doubt that would happen. The voting was basically for a regular sub figure, and I think they would have problems with both the fans and Mattel legal if they suddenly said, "You have to buy a second sub now to get her."

(FootballSTL) -- The steaming summer heat usually associated with NFL training camps has been replaced by mild temperatures. Head Coach Jeff Fisher had these observations at the end of Saturday afternoon's workout.
Fisher said the crowd size at training camp so far has been encouraging for players and coaches.
"I've been told its one of the best in years which is great. We got great weather and our baseball team is on the road," said Fisher, "So it's a great opportunity for people to come out and see us.
Fisher also commented on how excited Rams fans are for the season to begin.
"Yeah, that what we've been hearing and it's great. They were here early and we're encouraging them to come back. They got to see some big plays today," Fisher said.
Fisher focused on the increasingly better play seen from defensive tackle Michael Brockers.
"He really finished up strong toward the 2nd half of the season," Fisher explained, "He's really worked very hard. He's changed his body and we think he can be a dominating player in the front."
Brockers' suffered a high ankle sprain last season, but Fisher said the injury hasn't affected his play coming into this season.
"Brock was fine. He had some early off-season surgery. Just a routine clean up of the ankle," said Fisher.

Clermont, Fla.
Freshman Jenna Falline (Newell, Iowa/Newell-Fonda) allowed six hits and struck out two en route to her second complete-game shutout of the week, as the Beavers got an unearned run in the fifth inning for a 1-0 victory. BVU looked to make it back-to-back wins on the day but came up short in a 7-4 loss to Whitworth University (WA).
Sophomore Erin Kliefoth (Exira, Iowa/Exira) reached on an error to start the fifth and moved up to second on a passed ball. She later came around to score on junior Brooke Berkey's (Colfax, Iowa/Colfax-Mingo) RBI triple. Berkey and sophomore Sam Knudsen (Missouri Valley, Iowa/Missouri Valley), who also tripled in the contest, each finished with two base hits to help lead the way at the plate.
With the win, Falline improves her overall record to 5-1 on the year.
Whitworth scored a run in the first and three more in the third for an early 4-0 lead.
Junior Sam Engleman (Hawrden, Iowa/West Sioux) put BVU on the board in the fourth, as she continues her power streak at the plate, by blasting a solo home run – her third of the year - with the bases empty and one out. She now has a team-high 13 RBI on the year.
Whitworth got the run back in the bottom half of the inning before making it a 7-1 lead with two more runs in the sixth.
The Beavers didn't go away quietly, however, rallying with three runs in the seventh inning, getting RBI singles from senior Jessy Bibler (Alta, Iowa/Alta) and sophomore Jordon Pilcher (Cedar Rapids, Iowa/Cedar Rapids), while also benefiting from an error to score the third. Engleman came up as the tying run with two outs, but grounded out to end the game.
Kliefoth had two hits for the Beavers, including a double in the second.
Freshman Faith Schmidt (Emmetsburg, Iowa/Emmetsburg) got the start on the mound and dipped to 2-3 overall. She pitched the first 2.2 innings and was charged with four runs on six hits. Junior Britney Kubik (Martensdale, Iowa/Martensdale St. Mary's) worked the final 3.1 innings, and allowed three runs (two earned) on seven hits, while striking out three.
Buena Vista now stands at 8-6 overall and gets set to play two more games on Thursday. First up for the Beavers is a 1:00pm contest with the College of St. Benedict before taking on SUNY Purchase at 3:00pm.

Elicker Gets First Public $$ Injection

Posted to: Campaign 2013
Officials released the first $9,840 of what promises to be a stream of public money supporting the busiest mayoral campaign season in decades.
Justin Elicker's mayoral campaign received the check Friday afternoon from Patricia Kane, chair of the Democracy Fund, the city's clean elections program. The money goes towards a Sept. 10 Democratic Party mayoral primary, when Elicker will face state Rep. Gary Holder-Winfield, former economic development director Henry Fernandez, and Newhallville plumber Sundiata Keitazulu. Hillhouse Principal Kermit Carolina and Probate Judge Jack Keyes are also expected to enter the race.
Elicker, currently an East Rock alderman, is one of three candidates who have signed contracts to participate in the program, which awards public grants to candidates who raise small donations from local voters and vow to swear off contributions from corporations and political action committees. Carolina has vowed to make use of the program as well. Only Fernandez has so far said he will not participate in the program; read about that here and here.
In short, this is the year that will test the potential and viability of New Haven's fledgling, first-in-the-state municipal public-financing system.
Democracy Fund Administrator Ken Krayeske announced Monday morning that he has formally approved Keitazulu's contract to participate in the program. He has already approved Holder-Winfield's.
The Democracy Fund which offers matching public dollars in return for a promise to limit individual contributions to $370 and swear off donations from outside committees. Candidates who collect at least 200 donations of at least $10 can quality for a $19,000 grant from the fund plus matching dollars. The fund matches the first $25 of donations at a rate of two to one. The goal of the fund is to enable a wider range of candidates to run for office with enough money to compete; to keep down the overall cost of campaigning; and to limit the influence of outside special interests like large corporations. (Click here to read more about the Democracy Fund in a series by Diana Li of the Yale Daily News.)
Elicker received $9,840 Friday. That represents matching funds for donations from 238 New Haven voters, according to Elicker's campaign treasurer, Melanie Quigley. Donors had to keep their contributions between $10 and $370. The fund matches the first $25 of each donation by a 2-1 ratio.
The check represents the first dose of thousands of dollars Elicker's campaign expects to receive. Elicker said he plans to apply for more matching funds next week; the cap is $125,000.
Elicker said he's using the money in part to pay rent and office supplies at a new headquarters on Whalley, and to pay his campaign manager.
Holder-Winfield and Keitazulu have not received any public money from the clean elections fund so far. To qualify for the matching funds, each must submit proof that he has received small contributions from 200 New Haven voters. Holder-Winfield said he plans to do so next week.
Once they qualify for the Democracy Fund, candidates can also receive a $19,000 public grant. That money becomes available once the election is officially "contested," which means another candidate has spent $5,500.

This is good news.
What people don't realize is that it is HARDER to raise money while abiding by the restrictions imposed by the Democracy Fund.
Last time around, DeStafano raised $700K by calling city vendors, contractors, employees—people who owed him their jobs or their paychecks. Coincidentally, they all agreed to contribute $500 or $1000 to his re-election campaign. City contracts are worth a hundred times more to them than the paltry amount they kicked in to keep their man in power.
A popular candidate (like Elicker) has to *turn down* money from big donors who are happy to kick in a substantial contribution over the $370 limit—But it means he won't owe them favors down the road.
The Democracy Fund works. It what our city needs to keep big money from owning the mayor's office.

The governing equations for multiphase flow in porous media have a mixed character, with both nearly elliptic and nearly hyperbolic variables. The flux for each phase can be decomposed into two parts: (1) a geometry- and rock-dependent term that resembles a single-phase flux; and (2) a mobility term representing fluid properties and rock–fluid interactions. The first term is commonly discretized by two- or multipoint flux approximations (TPFA and MPFA, respectively). The mobility is usually treated with single-point upstream weighting (SPU), also known as dimensional or donor cell upstream weighting. It is well known that when simulating processes with adverse mobility ratios, SPU suffers from grid orientation effects. An important example of this, which will be considered in this work, is the displacement of a heavy oil by water. For these adverse mobility ratio flows, the governing equations are unstable at the modeling scale, rendering a challenging numerical problem. These challenges must be addressed in order to avoid systematic biasing of simulation results. In this work, we present a framework for multidimensional upstream weighting for multiphase flow with buoyancy on general two-dimensional grids. The methodology is based on a dual grid, and the resulting transport methods are provably monotone. The multidimensional transport methods are coupled with MPFA methods to solve the pressure equation. Both explicit and fully implicit approaches are considered for time integration of the transport equations. The results show considerable reduction of grid orientation effects compared to SPU, and the explicit multidimensional approach allows larger time steps. For the implicit method, the total number of non-linear iterations is also reduced when multidimensional upstream weighting is used.

Every summer I venture away from the Baja California wine country up to the Pacific Northwest for a family reunion, to cruise our vintage rat rod in the Car d'Alene Car Show and to research the wine industry of Washington and north Idaho. In past years I brought samples of my favorite Mexican wines to share with family and friends in the wine industry, but finally realized that even though everyone loved the wines, it was almost impossible for them to purchase the wines in the U.S. So, this year I limited my cache of Mexican wines to Viognier and Nebbiolo from L.A. Cetto, one of a few wine producers in Mexico who has wine available in almost every state and several countries. In addition, the Cetto family is the largest producer of wine in Mexico and very serious about business, fully understanding the value of exporting and international marketing. It's also important to note that Mexico's wine industry produces outstanding wines, but is a small wine producing region with most wines eagerly consumed nationally - mostly in Mexico City.
L. A. Cetto's Private Reserve Viognier and Nebbiolo wines stunned wine lovers and enthusiasts in Oregon, Washington and north Idaho. Cetto's Viognier drew lots of attention because this varietal is gaining popularity among wine growers and winemakers in eastern Washington. Wine connoisseurs in this region know wine intimately and fully appreciated the quality and value of this Mexican Viognier. In fact, most people were blown away by both of these Baja California wines. It's amazing that most people still don't know that Mexico produces wine. The 2001 Nebbiolo from L.A. Cetto was the talk of this wine country safari, winning approval and admiration from some of the northwest regions top growers, producers, winemakers and sommeliers. At one of the top wineries and restaurants in Washington, we matched the 2001 Nebbiolo with grilled elk steak, topped with wild morel mushrooms and herbs. Needless to say, it was a superb match and a positive event in public relations and marketing for the Mexican wine industry. Unfortunately, I was forced to sell both cases of the Nebbiolo at $50 a bottle, or be held hostage!
Wine tasting research is one of the hardest elements of my lifestyle, so many options, so little time! Well, it's not the toughest homework assignment, but one of my projects on this wine country safari was to explore Viognier and Syrah in Washington and north Idaho. My interest was based on the fact that some wineries in Baja California are experimenting with both grapes and getting some positive results with award winning wines. In addition, I've lived and worked in both wine regions and am familiar with the conditions that enable these areas to create and produce excellent wines. Each region is distinct and it's a very interesting exercise in experiencing both grapes and wine created under completely different growing conditions.
This wine country safari led me to one of the top producers of Viognier and Syrah in the northwest at Coeur d'Alene Cellars in north Idaho. Winemaker Warren Schutz and winery owner Kimber Gates create some of the best wines in the region. Their 2003 Syrah was selected as "the best Washington State Syrah at any price†by the San Francisco Chronicle. It was rated at 90 points: "with a powerful and complex bouquet, this bold Syrah melds ripe cherry/berry fruit with spicy bittersweet chocolate and a trace of truffle. Barrel aging lends a smooth mouth feel and a bold, smoky finish. Good structure and firm tannins promise great aging potential.†Wine Enthusiast June 2006. In addition, Wine Spectator rated their Coeur d'Alene Opulence Columbia Valley 2003 at 91 points: "rich, polished and effusive in aroma and flavor, but it's also refined enough to pull it all together into a gorgeous bead of red cherry, blueberry and plum fruit that just doesn't quit.†This wine retails for $42.
Fortunately, after drinking several samples of their premium Syrah, I didn't have to leave my chair to sample some of the best Viognier in the region. So, with a quick glass change we moved right into a serious evaluation of this fantastic white wine. (In Idaho, we hillbillies drink our reds first) My first impression was that the quality was very comparable to L.A. Cetto's Viognier, but with unique and distinct flavors. Wine Spectator rated this Coeur d'Alene Sarah's Cuvee Washington 2004 with 90 points and states it best: "lithe, juicy and fragrant with pear, quince and clove aromas and flavors that persist onto a lively finish.†Wine Enthusiast magazine rated their other 2004 Viognier with 90 points: "bright citrus and floral aromas of wisteria, jasmine and orange blossom surround a core of nectarine, apricot and peach fruit. Creamy vanilla and buttery toast notes add complexity but don't overpower the fruit. With lots of complex fruit flavors, this wine is a wonderful expression of the fine art of wine.†The 2004 Viognier retails for $18.
The wine industry in eastern Washington is producing excellent, award winning wines at ridiculously low prices. My impression is that this region is hugely under-rated considering the quality and value of the wines. Also, if you take into consideration some key elements of the habitat, you begin to understand the factors that allow for the fullest expression of the grapes. The quality of the water is unsurpassed, the soil was deposited by the historical Missoula flood leaving behind rich soil, loam and beds of gravel, plus the Columbia River flows below south facing slopes providing perfect conditions for Syrah grapes. The river basin creates weather conditions that favor grape growing (hot days and cool nights) and the constant winds blow harmful insects up into Canada and Montana! It's no wonder that 99% of Washington's wine grapes come from eastern Washington's Columbia Valley and that a new winery opens every 13 days in this state!
Many of the grapes purchased by Coeur d'Alene Cellars are from Horse Heaven Hills AVA. This region is naturally bounded on the north by the Yakima Valley appellation and on the south by the Columbia River. About 6,000 acres are planted with Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah. This AVA borders the Columbia River and has a distinct topography that blesses the region with moderate temperature extremes and provides south facing slopes for optimum vineyard locations with quick draining silty loam soils. The elevations slope from 200 feet to 1,800 feet. The first growers arrived in 1972 and now this AVA is home to four commercial wineries and over twenty vineyards. Stillwater, Rob Andrews, Alder Ridge, Saddle Mountain and Elephant Mountain vineyards provide Coeur d'Alene Cellars with premium grapes.
The future looks bright for Washington State wines. According to local experts and winemaker, Warren Schutz of Coeur d'Alene Cellars: "2005 was the winemakers dream come true, great year, long extended ripening period with temperatures in the 80's allowing for long hang time.†Both the Viognier and Syrah grapes fully expressed their best qualities with a textbook growing season! Wine from Coeur d'Alene Cellars can be shipped to California by contacting the winery at: (208) 664-2336 or at www.cdacellars.com
It's great to live and work in Mexico's premier wine country and to enjoy the wonderful wines of Baja California. Life is good and flavorful when one can travel to other wine regions of the world exploring and exposing your palate to diverse sensations offered by the global wine community. And remember, the best wines in the world - are the wines you enjoy! Next issue, we'll continue with the series about Ensenada's wine culture.

Q&A With John Legend, Performing at the Fillmore Miami Beach This Friday
Categories: Concert Preview, Q&A
New Times: What was it like playing the Declare Yourself Inaugural Ball?
It was fun. It was great to see how enthusiastic young people are right now about being a part of democracy and making a difference in the world. Declare Yourself signed up 2 million young voters last year, and the youth vote was such an important part of Obama's margin of victory. I was glad to be there to recognize that accomplishment.
Didn't you also perform at the We Are One celebration?
That was surreal. We played on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, where so many important moments have happened in American History, including MLK's "I Have a Dream" speech. It was so cold outside but you wouldn't know it from the enthusiasm of the crowd. They waited out there for hours to share in that moment. And it was so cool being with all the other great performers, all of whom were star-struck at the opportunity of meeting President Obama. You should check out my Kyte blog on johnlegend.com to see some cool candid video from backstage and onstage that day.
And then there was the performance at the Democratic Convention.
It's funny now because I thought the DNC was so historic back then, and now it's almost cliché to keep saying how historic everything is. Because many moments in the last year have been truly historic. So I don't know what else to say but I'm certainly glad to have been a part of this journey. I'm optimistic for the country. I feel like we have put the Presidency in very capable hands, and I believe Obama will be a transformative leader for the country and the rest of the world.
What else did you do on behalf of our newly elected president?
I started by playing at a big rally in Iowa before the caucuses. Then I did a few events at colleges before the primaries in Georgia and Pennsylvania. Then I did a tour of college campuses in Ohio to get out the vote for the general election. I also performed at a big fundraiser in New York with Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel and India.Arie.
What other causes do you support?
My primary focus is fighting poverty. I founded the Show Me Campaign to do just that. People should visit www.showmecampaign.org to find out all about the organization and donate or volunteer. Our principal focus right now is funding a Millennium Village in Mbola, Tanzania, to help them get the tools they need to become self sufficient.
Do you see a new-found sense of activism among people these days?
I do sense that people are ready to work and contribute. They just need to be informed about what the opportunities are and how they can participate in a meaningful way.
If you were granted one wish, what would it be?
End poverty!
John Legend, with Estelle. Friday, January 30. The Fillmore Miami Beach, 1700 Washington Ave., Miami Beach. Doors open at 7 p.m. Tickets cost $77.50. www.livenation.com
