Relaxation: Lego, My Harry Potter
Jess Tompkins
on 09.14.2011
Relaxation. When I seek relaxation from gaming, I'm seeking easy, fun, and lighthearted entertainment. I am not seeking Mass Effect 2 "Insanity", Call of Duty Black Ops "Veteran", or Dead Space 2 "Hardcore." No, no, and
definitely not
. In other words, I'm looking for the exact opposite of a challenge, and that my friends, is exactly what
Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4
The Lego spin-off series of has been applied to numerous franchises from Star Wars to Batman and from Indiana Jones to Pirates of the Caribbean. Aside from Harry Potter, I've played both of the Star Wars versions on PlayStation 2. But for some reason it wasn't until Lego Harry Potter that I decided to give a Lego game a go on PlayStation 3. I suppose I have to chalk it up to feeling very nostalgic about my favorite childhood series: I only purchased my copy about a week after viewing Deathly Hallows part 2, nearly a year after the game's release.
When I began to play Lego Harry Potter, the little kid in me was instantly activated. I grinned like a moron at the silly cut scenes set to the nostalgia-inducing John Williams score. I practically writhed with delight at the opportunity to explore Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, simultaneously blasting apart objects with spells as I searched every class room and corridor for hidden easter eggs and collectibles. This is where perhaps the game sucked me in the most. Aside from following the major plot points of the first four films/books, the game essentially amounts to one massive collecting quest. Indeed, collecting studs, House Crests, Gold Bricks, Red Bricks, characters... the sheer volume of collectibles and secret unlockables almost felt overwhelming in the beginning. However, once I started making serious progress, I realized that all of this collecting became rather addicting. Many gamers tire of repetitive game play, but as a fan of the notoriously repetitive
Dynasty Warriors
series, repetition has never been an issue for me. In fact, it is probably part of what makes a game like Lego Harry Potter so relaxing for a gamer with obsessive-compulsive tendencies: the simplistic, yet strangely rewarding monotony.
This monotony of tasks makes the game simple, simple enough that I'm never mad or frustrated or throwing a controller at the wall. I just enjoying switching it on, exploring my destructible Lego Hogwarts, and blasting the hell out of the environment with every spell I can throw at it. Taking apart elements of Harry's wizarding world to uncover the hidden collectibles is satisfying; even though the core element of the game play is lacking in complexity, searching for said items can involve a bit of brain power. For a "kids" game, it is surprisingly clever and fully expects the player to explore every nook and cranny of Hogwarts and the various other environments. In addition, there's also small puzzle elements, such as brewing potions or using certain spells on pieces of the environment, that require solving in order to make progress through the stage. The inclusion of such prevents the game from becoming stale and boring.
There's also a good sense of humor and charm to the game that adds to the whole "relaxation" factor. Cut scenes aren't taken seriously, and since it's set in the Lego Universe, many liberties are taken. I don't think I can ever tire of playing as Professor Snape wielding a carrot wand (an unlockable bonus option), hurling spells towards other characters that result in the enlarge of heads, spontaneous laughter, or "jelly" legs.
I don't know about you, but I'm not always looking for a game that's going to test my skill and patience. When it comes to Lego HP, I can essentially shut off my brain when I turn on the console, not caring if my character dies (automatic respawns!) and use minimum concentration to collect a bunch of in-game unlockables. Instead, I can focus on the pretty graphics, charming atmosphere, and the numerous explosions that result from my spamming of spells at every object in sight. In short, Lego Harry Potter, or any Lego title for that matter, is a good choice for anyone who seeks relaxation, fun and simple.

RE: Why do the kids love Call of Duty- A Plea to Parental Involvement
Jess Tompkins
on 07.11.2011
After reading
Jonathan Holmes'
blog post in which he thoroughly analyzed why the Call of Duty franchise appeals so strongly to the younger demographic (children under the age of 12), I had to acknowledge that I agreed with many of Mr. Holmes' points. The series is effectively "cool" among 6 to 12 year olds due to the addictive simplicity and competitive nature of the game play, which is only strengthen by it's incredible flash, flare, and good ol' fashioned American military whoop ass mentality (which in particular caters to young boys who may idolize family members in the army/military, GI Joe, or the military lifestyle in general).
What I found somewhat lacking in the article, however, was a discussion on whether or not this is a problem. Should we (gamers, the general public, parents with young children, etc.) be concerned over the fact that young children have access to Call of Duty and become engrossed, obsessed, and enthralled by these titles?
I for one, to a degree, think so. Not only does Call of Duty glorify combat to the degree that a child may not understand, but any addiction for young children is not healthy, especially when parents notice and try to remove the source. The result is often defiance, anger, and an explosion of "I hate yous!" I would like to state that I do not find Call of Duty offensive and that I am actually something of a fan of the series myself, but I do believe overexposure to a child could be detrimental and have negative consequences as mentioned above.
My First Hand Experience
I worked at a local GameStop this past holiday season, and of course, I sold a TON of copies of Call of Duty: Black Ops (also, worked the midnight release, which was just plain INSANE). At my particular GameStop, we always carded anyone who looked under 30 for ID since my boss didn't want to receive any negative consequences for selling an M rated game to a minor (it's the law, apparently). And if
purchased an M rated title we always had to make certain that the consumer was aware of that just to be certain that they were okay with the rating, just in case they were actually purchasing the game for a minor.
During the month of November, I lost count of the number of mothers who came into the store to pick up Black Ops. With their young son standing quietly at their side, grinning ear to ear, I would always give them my spiel before they made their transactions final: "Just so that you're aware, this game is rated M for mature for containing blood and gore, violence, and strong language." Most of these moms would shake off the sentence before I even completed it. "Yes, yes, I'm aware-- but my son really wants it," they would interrupt with an air of submission, as if they had no other choice but to purchase the game. Handing the game over often resulted in the child smiling or exclaiming "yes!" with intense excitement and a sense of thrill. This scenario repeated itself on an almost daily basis for several weeks after the game's release. Closer to Christmas most "moms" would pick up games for presents, shopping solo, though always responding in a similar manner.
I'm not going to say that this is solely a "mom" or parent problem, but it certainly plays a substantial part as to how Call of Duty became so popular among children in the first place: providing accessibility.
I know a boy, about 7 years old, that I had babysat regularly from the age of 2 to 5. Periodically I still go to this boy's baseball games or babysit him and his older sister on occasion. At the age of 7, he's already turned into something of an avid gamer. I may have had a bit on influence on him, I gave my old PS1 to him and his sister when he was about 4, but only handed over age-appropriate titles along with it, including Spyro and Crash Bandicoot. A year or so later his mom bought him a PS2 and loads of games, exposing him to games various genres and ratings. Presently, the family owns a Wii and 360 with Kinect as well. The last time I went to babysit him about a couple months ago, his mom was expressing how she was concerned about some of his gaming habits. She told me explicitly that he wasn't allowed to play a game called, you guessed it, Call of Duty, and was concerned about how "mean" he could get when she tried to take certain games away from him. That night, I wasn't just babysitting him, but two of his friends. I walked over to find all three of them huddled around the Wii playing none other then CoD World at War. "Umm... ma'am, you do know that they're playing Call of Duty right now, right?" The mother gasped exasperatedly, "
Call of Duty?"
Needless to say, I was somewhat dumbfounded by her ignorance. If you don't want your son playing a particular game, shouldn't you be more informed about it? In order to alleviate this issue, I would like to share some possible solutions to the lack of communication facing parents and their children who play games such as Call of Duty.
Be Informed
Parents/guardians/supervisors should take the time to become informed about WHAT their children are playing. Take the time to watch trailers and gameplay footage on youtube. Each parent raises their children differently and has different standards for what is and what is not acceptable for their children. Some find Call of Duty offensive, while others say "it's just a game!" In either case, just be aware of what your child is playing, and if you choose not to let them own a copy, explain your reasons rationally and calmly. Parents often try to dumb things down for their children, but the reality is, you can talk to them like adults.
Be A Part Of Their Hobby
If you think your child is mature enough to play a CoD title, get involved with them. Take turns swapping the controller every half-hour or so, and play along.
Observe their gaming habits first hand
. If you find that you're not happy with how your child responds to the game (bad language or violent reactions to killing or being killed), find a solution to curbing these responses. Explain how getting mad does not bring about any actual solution, and that they're able to get the bad guys "next time."
It Is Just A Game
While a child's actions in a game like Call of Duty may not reflect behavior in the real world, make sure that your child understands the implications of taking another person's life. Explain to them that in real war,
people actually die.
They are no "saves" or "check points." Once you've been shot, you don't come back. It's grim to contemplate, but any child should not take the idea lightly. It may seem silly and parents might think this is a "no brainer," but there's no reason why the concept should not be reiterated. There have been too many cases in the news where a child has shot either a parent or friend either by mistake or out of anger and were labeled as active gamers. Call of Duty is a game, but killing certainly is not. In war, it's either kill or be killed, but Call of Duty "glamorizes" the military life style and almost romanticizes modern warfare. Explain to them that real war is far more grim, brutal, and just plain terrifying. If anything, a child playing Call of Duty should be imbued with a sense of respect for those who do sacrifice their lives in real life to keep the world a safer place.
Strike A Balance
If you find your child might be using Call of Duty to unleash pent up anger or frustrations, turn that energy into something your child can benefit from. Encourage them to take up a martial art, or turn their love for military shooters into a hobby that allows them to enjoy the outdoors, burn calories, and feed their need to compete: take them to play paint ball or airsoft. While not the most cheapest of hobbies, both will satisfy your child's interest but do so in a manner that encourages team work and camaraderie.
Call of Duty is not going anywhere anytime soon. It's a blockbuster behemoth of a franchise that practically over saturates the market and gains exposure to every consumer through online, TV, and in-store advertising. The current generation is essentially growing up on this franchise, and I was only just made aware of how popular the series was among minors until I worked as a GameStop employee firsthand. I will openly admit that I do not believe that games or Call of Duty in and of itself is necessarily bad, evil, or corrupting anyone, even children. I do believe, however, the over-exposure and lack of balance between gaming and other activities is where issues (bad behavior, lack of interest in school, increased tantrums e.g. "but I wanna play more!") stem from.
Hopefully, the above advice will encourage parents to be more involved with child gamers in general and enervate some of the negative behavior and feelings associated with children playing Call of Duty games.

Dead Space 2 Collector's Edition: Collecting Dust?
Jess Tompkins
on 01.27.2011
I've been duped not once, not twice, but count it,
three times
into purchasing a "Collector's Edition" of a videogame that I was oh-so-eagerly anticipating. Okay, so the first time was a gift, but either way,
dished out an additional $10-$20 for unnecessary merchandise and flare.
The culprit that serves as the inspiration for this piece is none other than the Collector's Edition of
Dead Space 2
, a game that I've been pining for nearly a year since it's first official announcement. Heck, I was there at my local GameStop on Monday at midnight for my copy-- 'cause I'm hardcore like that. Only, when I saw the size of the Collector's Edition (CE) box that evening, my heart practically sank. At around 7.5" tall and 5.5" wide and 2.5" deep, all I could think was
"how the hell did my Plasma Cutter fit in that?"
And that's when my buddy who works at GameStop pulled out his own copy to reveal the as-advertised plasma cutter replica, no larger then then the length of my hand from wrist to tip of the middle finger (and I have some of the smallest hands I've ever seen). Utter disappointment for this die-hard fan.
Funnily enough, I had told myself that the
Resident Evil 5
CE was going to be the last one I ever purchased. I should have learned my lesson then...
So, why did I tell myself that I would never again dish out the additional money for a CE after purchasing the RE5 version? Well... pretty much the fact that all the extra stuff is just plain useless, and no matter how damn cool and appealing it sounds at the time there are usually one of two eventual realizations for the purchaser (from my personal experience).
1) The bonus content is poorly constructed, cheap, and easily broken.
2) If it happens to be "well-made," it's just going to end up on your bedroom shelf taking up space and collecting dust.
The case of RE5 exemplifies outcome number one. The RE5 CE which came with an assortment of interesting goodies, the majority of which turned out to be poorly constructed. The Chris Redfield mini-figure was horribly ugly, painted sloppy, and broke within 5 minutes of being unboxed. I accidentally dropped it (rather gently) onto
floor. His knife fell off. I believe I tried some krazy glue, but it fell off my desk at some point and broke again. What about the sweet Tricell bag? The material was thin, and the inside was riddled with loose strings along all of the seams. It was an utter mess! My pens would always get tangled on the inside. There was also spare fabric hanging off the edge that I had to safety-pin in place otherwise it would flop around and get in my way constantly when opening and closing the bag (which could never be fastened in place with the buckles due to how oddly shaped the bag was). Nevertheless, I'm a sucker for representing RE, so I toted that bag with me for about two years... it made for a decent school bag on days when I only had one class, but it was never worth the $90 I paid for the CE...
A few of the other materials were a bit nicer. The BSAA badge is a nice keepsake that I've yet to use, but I've never worn that Africa-shaped "Kijuju" pendant. Dunno what Capcom was thinking there. I watched the making of documentary once, and probably could have found it somewhere on youtube.
In the end, the bulk of the package was the game and the bonus materials could have easily been done without.
Point number two is based mostly on observation. Modern Warfare 2 probably had one of the most ludicrously awesome Collector's Editions of all time. Night vision goggles. Thankfully I didn't buy them myself, but I knew several people at school who were uber excited to get their hands on them. About a month ago, I discovered that numerous people where attempting to sell their MW2 goggles on good ol' eBay.
This product fits in with expectation number two perfectly. It looks like a badass purchase at the time, and the consumers probably got a few fun moments with it during the first five minutes of unboxing. But really? Night vision goggles? I guess they might be fun to put on display, until you realize just how much damn space it's taking up and how dusty it's gotten over the past few months. Then it's placed back in the box and into the closet until a year later when it's placed into an online auction. I know it's not a personal experience of my own, just a generalized assumption. But the 10 MW2 goggles on eBay don't lie. Give in mind that these 10 are probably just a fraction that have been put up on eBay over the past year, and many people likely don't bother since they know it's hard to sell.
After my RE5 CE experience, that's when I told myself "No more Collector's Editions. The game is all that matters, dammit!" I should have remembered that let-down...
Enter Dead Space. I fall in love with the series, and EA is clever enough to cash in on it's popularity. I purchased the shitty DVD movie "Downfall" and eventually a Dead Space T-shirt. I eat up all the knowledge I can about the sequel when it was announced and immersed myself in the lore and universe of the series... sometime later, a CE is announced for Dead Space 2 and my initial response is that NONE of the content even interests me.
A replica plasma cutter? Meh, I could always make my own like others I've seen online.
DLC? Probably nothing spectacular.
Soundtrack? Torrent.
Lithograph? I'd rather have an art book.
And yet, somehow, I ended up splurging $86.19 (with tax) on all that shit I didn't even want.
I remember making my pre-order, and this impulsive reaction just told me to get it. It was like... I almost had to prove just how big of a fan of Dead Space I really was. Which is just plain silly, since I obviously know how much I've obsessed over the arrival of this game.
I suppose all I hoped for was something worthwhile. I mean, this was DS2. All signs pointed to a phenomenal game backed by a phenomenal team. I put my faith in Visceral that they wouldn't sell their biggest fans a pile of crap. I was so very, very wrong.
Here's me "proudly" displaying my Plasma Cutter replica. I have tiny dwarf hands and I can only grip two fingers around the handle. I can't image a guy so much as being able to put their pointer finger on the trigger. The paint job also sucks and the quality is no better than a MacDonald's Happy Meal toy. And it didn't even come with batteries, which happen to be AAA. Who the frak has AAA batteries lying around? Certainly not me, so it looks like for the time being I can't even use it as an obnoxious, uncomfortable flashlight.
This is NOT a lithograph, it's a glorified post card. I was expecting a nice quality print on some heavy duty paper with a small cardboard matting around it. Uh no, not even close to my expectations. And yes, my fake enthusiasm is pretty ugly!
Well... I guess the box is cool. $90 for a really pretty box.
Isaac's not the only one suffering from dementia. Oh wait, that's regret I'm feeling.
The only nice addition turned out to be the DLC... but I honestly could have lived without it. I've got a red Unitology suit, but the irony is that I like the look of the "Advanced Suit" a lot better.
Overall, the DS2 CE falls into category one... the bonus material is cheap, forgettable, and certainly not worth the additional $20. I could have purchased a freakin' one-year-old used game for that price or even a brand new Greatest Hits title with that!
So, anyone else feel ripped off with a CE purchase that they've made? I'd be interested in hearing any other thoughts on the DS2 CE in particular.
Anyway, long story short... lesson learned. No matter who badly I'm fangirling over my next anticipated game release, I sure as hell won't be caving into the promises of another inevitable Collector's Edition. In the case of DS2, the plasma cutter will probably break before it even has time to collect dust...

- The whole site needs a 'if you have nothing nice to say...' policy, since most of the comments I got were along the lines 'unflattering' and 'you look crap', and nothing constructive, so basically just snark and insults.
- It's dominated by samey-samey fashion girls. I LOVE fashion blogs but these are the kind of girls who only wear the latest trends and if I post anything kawaii/goth/retro I feel really out-of-place and end up with more snark, as per point one.
- Stupid little quirks like 'post a question' and HAVING to add tags kind of ruin it for me. I'm happy with straightforward websites and the post a question thing makes me feel I have to validate what I wear from a complete stranger by asking 'do i look nice?' or 'do my shoes go?'. I've already though of this extensively before going out in the outfit so I don't need these opinions. Also, any small images are blown up so they're all blurry and incomprehensible.

The "keychain Cam" that Flypopa referred to is a good one. Cheap, light, and takes nice pics. Also, the Aiptek SD 1.3 pencam is ok (the one in post #3477). I have both. I started with the Aiptek. It's bigger and bulkier, but for about $15, it's a cheap way to start getting aerial video. If either camera is crashed, it's no big deal. With FlyCamOne, you crash a $100 camera. With these 2 that I mentioned, you lose $15 or $20. (I'm not criticizing the Flycam, just recommending that you start with an inexpensive cam) Just beware, this is the path to the FPV addiction!! You have been warned!! Bob |

this is going to be a bit off topic, but I'm testing servos for some home made spoilers. thase are going to be dedicated spoilers mounted just behined the high part of the wing, not spoilerons. I needed some cheap, very thin servos to operate the spoilers and chose the e-flte s60 servos. these are rated at .10 sec at 60 degrees. After testing fitting the servos, I feel I may need a little more throw on the servo arms. If I increase the EPA in my radio to achieve more throw beyond 60 degrees, Will I risk burning out a servo?
Mar 15, 2010, 04:51 AM | |
You shouldn't burn out the servo just by increasing end point as long as the servo doesn't stall trying to get there.
Maximizing epa across all functions and then setting the throws mechanically actually brings the best resolution from whatever servos you're using. The editor of Aviation Modeller International (Steve Dorling) commonly advocates just such behaviour. |

Idea Exchange: A sock, some rice, and a microwave = one great IV fluid warmer
Jul 01, 2007
By dvm360.com staff
We make an inexpensive IV fluid warmer by filling a sock with uncooked rice and heating it in the microwave. We then coil the IV fluid line on the table (just upstream from the patient) and place the sock on top of the coiled fluid line. When microwaved for two minutes, our rice-filled sock heats up to about 150 F, which will warm fluid that is room temperature in the bag (about 75 F) to about 115 F when it drips out of the other end of the line (it may vary depending on the fluid flow rate). The fluid-warming effectiveness lasts about 20 minutes, and then the rice pack is heated again.

Sports Authority gives Predators, Freeman a list of demands
- Bradnon Gee
- Staff Writer
The Metro Sports Authority has set a March 5 deadline for the Nashville Predators to comply with a number of requests related to a 2007 federal tax lien against the team's lead owner, David Freeman. One request: a guarantee that the team won't leave Nashville this year or next.
Sports Authority members believe the tax lien constitutes a condition of default on the hockey team's lease of the Metro-owned Sommet Center. Authority member Lauren Brisky has been investigating the matter, which also has drawn the attention of National Hockey League Commissioner Gary Bettman. The Sports Authority unanimously approved recommendations made by Brisky at a meeting today. They include:
• Requiring Freeman to pay all taxes due and provide a new certification of his net worth that does not include any assets or equity of the team and that discounts 25 percent of his contingent liabilities. Or, if Freeman is unable or unwilling to do so, then the other local owners of the team would be required to assume his obligations under the same conditions.
• Requiring that the team waive its early termination rights in 2010 and 2011. The rights would allow the team to leave Nashville if certain thresholds related to attendance and net financial losses are met.
• Requiring that the team compensate the Sports Authority for legal fees and expenses.
Brisky said the recommendations conform with guidance from Bettman, who asked the Sports Authority to give the Predators and Freeman specific direction on what the authority would consider an acceptable agreement and time to comply.
The Predators, meanwhile, submitted two letters today. One certifies that Freeman's net worth is greater than $29.8 million, which is twice the amount required by the lease. A letter from Freeman's accountant also was submitted and stated that Freeman is disputing the amount of taxes the Internal Revenue Service claims he owes.
"I have not suffered a Material Adverse Event that would compromise my ability to satisfy my obligations under the Guaranty," Freeman wrote.
Speaking on behalf of the team, Nashville attorney James Weaver said the letters show the team is not in a condition of default and that he believes the Sports Authority should revisit its recommendations in light of the information contained in the letters. Weaver would not comment on any of the specific recommendations or say whether the team was willing to waive its early termination rights. He also said Freeman should not be held to a strict deadline.
"It takes as long as it takes," said Weaver, of Waller Lansden Dortch & Davis. "There's a difference between the two numbers and that's what's under review."
The letter from accountant Jeff Bridges with Carr Riggs & Ingram states that Freeman filed his 2007 taxes on time, has deposited the funds he believes he owes and is awaiting a ruling from the IRS.
The issue was just one of many discussed at today's lengthy meeting of the Sports Authority. The authority also approved about $1 million in reimbursement expenses requested by the Tennessee Titans for capital projects at LP Field, the fiscal year 2011 operating budget for Sommet Center and a property transfer that will allow the Metropolitan Development and Housing Agency to move forward with plans to construct a park on the east side of the Cumberland River downtown.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. (ABP) — Four families packed a church van and headed out on summer vacation. Although they only drove a few hours to Kansas City, Kan., this was no ordinary vacation for these Missourians.
This vacation was about sharing God's love through mission projects.
"What more can you ask for? You get to have fun and tell people about Jesus at the same time," 8-year-old Matthew Black said.
"It makes you have such a joy in your heart. I'd do it again — any time, any place."
Black and his family joined more than 100 other volunteers at FamilyFEST, a hands-on missions opportunity for families sponsored by Woman's Missionary Union July 21-26.
The volunteers, ranging in age from 4 to 72 and representing 10 states, did everything from painting and construction to servant ministries to backyard Bible clubs in the Kansas City area.
With rising gas prices, Gena Brown said her family knew they would need to stay close to home this year. So, four families from First Baptist Church, Swedeborg — representing almost half of their small church — decided to pool their vacation money and do something as part of God's work.
Brown admits that she was not sure how taking young kids would work on a mission trip.
"I was afraid they'd get bored or tired," she said. "But they've loved every second of this. The older kids are already talking about what we can do back home for mission projects in our own community.
"That's exactly what we had hoped for," she continued. "We wanted to open the kids' eyes, as well as our own, to God's will for us to serve others and share His love."
Twenty-one members of Osawatomie (Kan.) Baptist Church took vacation time as well to cross the state line into Missouri and repair a church. Melissa Cooke, an Osawatomie member, said her congregation decided to participate in FamilyFEST as a way to "give back" what they've received.
Almost a year ago, floods flowed through the Kansas town. Soon after, volunteers came to assist. Cooke said volunteers helped at the church, and the church served as a host site.
"Those volunteers were a good example of service to us. They planted the missions seed in our congregation," she said. "When FamilyFEST came to our area, we knew it was the perfect opportunity for us to give back.
"The appeal of this particular missions trip was that it was aimed for families."
Cooke's three children worked alongside her and her husband, Brian, throughout the week. Eleven-year-old Shelby Cooke and her dad joined the youth group to paint hallways and stairwells.
"Dad, I bet the church people are surprised when they see this," Shelby said, while painting the stairwell a vibrant red. "I think they will feel loved just like we felt loved."
Many FamilyFEST projects centered around fixing old church buildings or giving them a facelift. Donnie Simpson, director of missions for Kansas City (Kan.) Baptist Association, said projects such as these are vital for small churches.
"Ministering to our churches is vital. There are not a lot of Baptist churches in this area … and they can use all of the encouragement they can get," Simpson explained. "Many of these small churches don't have the resources or manpower to paint or do door-to-door visitation.
"Just by interacting with church members, FamilyFEST volunteers offered encouragement and blessings. The volunteers did things the churches only dream of being able to do," Simpson added.

Casablanca Capital Backs Lourenco Goncalves To Become CEO Of Cliffs Natural Resources And Notifies Company Of Intention To Nominate Majority Slate Of Directors For Election To Board
Casablanca Capital LP ("Casablanca"), one of the largest shareholders of Cliffs Natural Resources Inc. ("Cliffs" or "the Company") (NYSE: CLF), with beneficial ownership of approximately 5.2%, today announced that it is backing Lourenco Goncalves, former CEO of Metals USA, to fill the currently open position of Chief Executive Officer of Cliffs. Casablanca has also delivered a letter to the Company declaring its intention to nominate a majority of directors for election to Cliffs' Board of Directors at the Company's 2014 annual meeting of shareholders.
Goncalves, a 30-year veteran of the metals and mining industry, is standing as CEO candidate, has agreed to be a Casablanca director nominee, and recently made a personal investment of approximately $1 million in Cliffs shares. Goncalves was most recently Chairman, President and CEO of Metals USA. Over the first two years of his 10-year tenure as CEO, the company's share price grew from $3.08 to $22.00 when taken private. Under Goncalves' leadership, Metals USA then returned 5.5x to its principal shareholders when it was sold to Reliance Steel and Aluminum for $1.2 billion in 2013.
"The steps Cliffs announced yesterday are, in our view, a knee-jerk response to our call for change. We believe they are inadequate to address Cliffs' issues, including the need for dramatic cost savings, and do not demonstrate the strong leadership needed to create substantial value for shareholders," said Donald Drapkin, Chairman of Casablanca. "In spite of its public statements, Cliffs hasn't engaged us in any meaningful dialogue on the issues we've raised or provided a timetable for doing so."
Drapkin continued, "The sad truth is that shares of Cliffs have lost more than 80% of their value since mid-2011. The Company's actions to date have confirmed our lack of faith in the ability of the current Board and management team to reverse the deterioration in Cliffs' financial performance. We are therefore calling for the business to be refocused under a dynamic and experienced CEO, Lourenco Goncalves, supported by a significantly reconstituted Board of Directors. We are confident Mr. Goncalves will bring the strategic and operational skills needed to effect urgent change and restore the fundamental value we see in Cliffs. We will shortly announce a slate of highly qualified Board nominees to oversee this effort."

Item works great, I already had a remote with what I thought would control 2 different lights but it does not have 2 sets of dip switches. Switch works fine I just have to order another remote.

Calling Anna and Bennett's romance long distance is an understatement: she's from 1995 Chicago and he's a time traveler from 2012 San Francisco. The two of them never should have met, but they did. They fell in love, even though they knew they shouldn't. And they found a way to stay together, against all odds.
It's not a perfect arrangement, though, with Bennett unable to stay in the past for more than brief visits, skipping out on big chunks of his present in order to be with Anna in hers. They each are confident that they'll find a way to make things work...until Bennett witnesses a single event he never should have seen (and certainly never expected to). Will the decisions he makes from that point on cement a future he doesn't want?
Told from Bennett's point of view, Time After Time will satisfy listeners looking for a fresh, exciting, and beautifully-written love story, both those who are eager to find out what's next for Time Between Us's Anna and Bennett and those discovering their story for the first time.
Tamara Ireland Stone grew up in Northern California. In addition to her work as a writer, Tamara co-owns a Silicon Valley marketing communications firm and enjoys skiing, hiking, and spending time with her husband and two children. Tamara and her family live just outside of San Francisco.

text: According to Forbes Magazine, we spend approximately $2.7 billion in restaurants on Mother's Day. Gifts of jewelry top $2.3 billion and flowers $1.9 billion. We spend $1.5 billion on gift cards as presents. However, what's surprising is that Mother's Day greeting cards comprise only 2 percent of the industry's revenue, a much lower figure than I had expected.

It's not quite clear what theme the decor is going for with its odd confluence of medieval weaponry and random taxidermy, but they've hit the tried and true mark of a deep-cellar pub with local football, and that rare Cracovian occurrence of liquor (vodka) being cheaper than beer. Good for an afternoon game, or a low key celebration.

The latest reader beauty question is about hair coloring, specifically with Redken products: "Hi, I have a choice between Redken color fusion and color gels. I have very few, but very resistant grays. Which one do you think I should go with?–Irina" Well Irina, I decided to go straight to Redken's Creative Consultant, David Stanko who also is the Color Director at Angelo David Salon in NYC, to get the answer for you: "Although both Redken color brands are high quality, conditioning permanent haircolor products and capable of lightening, darkening and covering gray, I would make 3 suggestions: 1) Check out Redken.com where tons of questions are posted and you can do some research about hair color You see there are many considerations (and some missing technical details from your question — like: are your resistant grays concentrated in one area or strewn throughout your entire head) which is why its best to seek out a Redken Certified Hair Colorist in your area (you can log on to Redken to find one). If you were my first time client at Angelo David in NYC, assuming you had a gray patch, I would "spot color" your gray patch using Color Gels staying as close to your natural color as possible. Happy Coloring!" Have a beauty question? Please feel free to email me , ask me on Twitter or post it on the A Girl's Gotta Spa! Facebook fan page . I'll be sure to have a beauty expert answer it for you! |

Can't be beat for the money...
By cbensch
from Simsbury, CT
I am a weekend furniture maker and always have no less than 3000 board feet of rough sawn red and white oak on hand. I use a professional 12" miter saw and was in need of a new blade for a finer cut and limited tear out. I literally stumbled on this at the HF store. After my discount, it was 1/4th the cost of the blade I had my eye on from another manufacturer. The cuts are clean and my tear out is nearly exempt entirely. Some reviewers say this blade is loud. I can't exactly say what that means. Any sounds would come from the saw, not the blade. Mine goes through wood true, quietly and cleanly. I can't ask for more. Even if this doesn't last as long as the big brands, should I buy another I'm still at half the cost of just a single blade from the other guy. I'm satisfied.
Works great!

Bought it to do about 2000 sq ft of laminate with my Delta mitre saw. Worked great, very little chipping or waste, cut like a monster. I'd give it 5 stars but that's reserved for the best of the best. I'll probafbly buy another and get the old one resharpened. A good buy!
Very nice blade
By jw

I needed to cut 1/8" plywood and tried first with a DeWalt 80t blade that was a disaster - the DeWalt oscillated so much that always an 1/8" entrance indent was left in the cut. The noise level was terrible.Returned the DeWalt and got this blade. The first one was unbalanced and I could feel my radial saw vibrating, but still cut well. Exchanged for a second one and it works like a dream - no vibration and a perfect cut on thin plywood and thicker stock.Very nice blade and very reasonable priced.
descent blade
By Big BA
from Portland, OR
Used this blade for 400+ SF of laminate flooring. At first it seemed to be a touch bent as the actual cut is wider than the blade, but it might the saw or it might have gotten something in there when I installed it. Either way, great blade for the money.

Very, very, very, noisy
By Harry
from Newport, NY
I've been woodworking over 20 years. I have never had a saw blade make noise like this one. It makes a high pitched squeal / whistling sound, which initially caused me to think there was something wrong with it. It cuts OK in the short term. Not sure how it will hold up to repeated use cutting hardwood.
Sharp and...
By Paul
from CDA
Cuts through wood like butter, but...VERY poorly balanced. Vibrates like crazy with my very expensive miter saw. I'm not willing to risk damaging my saw, so I'll be purchasing another blade from a different store before my next project.If it weren't for this problem, I would love it, because it really does cut fast and you can barely tell it's going through wood!

Cut worse than my dull Diablo and burned up my wood like crazy. Do not buy this blade.

Having seen this show some time ago, it's good to report that a number of rough edges have been smoothened, so that this cabaret-style tribute to the music of the Beatles returns in fine form. This go-round, instead of a bland backd...
