Best Wildflower Hike Phoenix 2010 - Usery Mountain Regional Park, Pass Mountain Loop
This may be our all-time favorite hike in the Valley. If you want to see the Sonoran Desert in its entire splendor, head to Usery and rock the Pass Mountain Loop hike. Just make sure it's between February and May when our unique vegetation actually looks fertile (for once). Yes, the saguaros will be tipped with white blossoms; the ocotillo will be covered in lush leaves and orange blooms; and the barrel cacti will glow with their hot pink, orange, and yellow flowers. And don't forget the Brittle Bush, and, ahem, Blue Dick that sprout from the dirt. We say, with such a rare opportunity to see some life in our desert, make the most of it with this eight-mile loop. You'll certainly get an eyeful as you wrap around the mountain's base, slowly climbing to make a steep descent on the other side.

Greinke looks to get dialed in vs. Rockies
Dodgers righty faces Nicasio in final start before NLDS
With Friday's results guaranteeing that the Dodgers will start the National League Division Series on the road next week, their main focus now is setting up their rotation.
On Saturday, Zack Greinke -- who will start Game 2 of the NLDS -- will make his final start of the season against the Rockies, giving him one last chance for a postseason tuneup.
And with guys like Greinke and Clayton Kershaw on the mound, manager Don Mattingly has no concerns about his team starting the playoffs on the road.
"Honestly, it's still about pitching. With Kershaw and Greinke out there, we pretty much like our chances," Mattingly said. "I don't think our team really cares. We don't care who we play. We don't care where it is. I think it's as simple as who plays the best."
Greinke has been at his best pretty much all season, posting a 15-3 record and a 2.67 ERA. The right-hander has won each of his last seven decisions, last losing on July 25.
The Rockies will counter Greinke with Juan Nicasio, who has struggled mightily of late. The right-hander gave up eight runs over 2 2/3 innings against the Cardinals on Sept. 17 and seven runs in 2 1/3 innings against the D-backs on Sunday.
He has had some success against the Dodgers this year, though, going 1-0 with a 2.45 ERA against them over two starts this season.
"It's no excuse, but it's a long season and everybody's tired," Nicasio said on Sunday. "I tried my best stuff today, tried to work hard and [you can't] make it happen sometimes."
Rockies: CarGo will consider hitting before finale
Carlos Gonzalez took batting practice before Friday's game and is debating whether he should take some at-bats before the end of the season.
The Rockies outfielder has been dealing with a sprained right middle finger since early July, causing him to go on the disabled list once and forcing him in and out of the Colorado lineup numerous times.
Gonzalez said he wants to see how his finger responds to swings in a live game before deciding whether to have offseason surgery, and manager Walt Weiss said there is a possibility they could test it this weekend.
For the season, Gonzalez is batting .302 with 26 home runs and 70 RBIs.
Dodgers: Hanley expected to be back in the lineup
Mattingly has been giving Hanley Ramirez plenty of chances to rest recently. The star shortstop has been dealing with a back issue, and the Dodgers manager wants to make sure he's fresh for the playoffs.
Ramirez sat out Friday's 11-0 win against the Rockies, but he's expected to be back in the lineup on Saturday. For the season, he is batting .346 with 20 home runs and 57 RBIs.
Worth noting
• Dodgers outfielder Carl Crawford hit his sixth home run of the season on Friday and his first since May 6.
• Tyler Chatwood has been scratched from starting Sunday's season finale. The Rockies may go with a string of relievers.

I've been using 0.0013-gauge string for my guitar (Epiphone Dot) and I tune it to standard C. however I noticed that the notes on the first string all sounded the same and kind of flat after the 12th fret. By experimenting, raising the action a little bit solved my problem. What should the height of the action exactly be for this setup?
In addition to intonation, another issue to look at is relief, which refers to the curvature of the neck. Many acoustic players back-bow it slightly so that the action is good for the first five frets (which are what they're gonna play on) and high above there to get nice ringing notes. Electric players generally play with more straight relief, so the action is usable up the neck, too. Or, it sounds like you have a high fret. Since you don't play everywhere, you don't get fret wear everywhere, and if you have low enough action, that high fret can play instead of the fret you fret. Raising the action can "fix" it, but fret work is the only real fix. Talk to a local repair shop and get an estimate. |
While I am sure there is a point at which the string height (called "action") would be an issue for any guitar, it is probably way higher than most people would find comfortable. Therefore, you set it the way you like it. Whenever I have tested Epiphones and Gibsons in the store, they always seem to have really low action. Not sure if this is a factory thing, or the store. There does seem to be a consensus that a higher action produces better tone, but a slower response (the string has farther to travel to get to the fretboard), and lower action produces a deader note but can be fretted quickly. Again, this is personal preference. However, while what you describe can certainly be the case with a really low action, you might also have a bow in the neck. If the action was really low, you are probably all right, but if not, you might examine the fretboard yourself by sighting down the length of the neck. If it looks really curved, you probably should get a professional to look at it for possible tension adjustment. Some people do this themselves, but some people break the neck doing it themselves as well. |
Your string height isn't important here - as you can tune to whatever tuning you like and have the string height to meet your preference. What is important is the exact length of the strings, which alters the intonation Have a look at this question on intonation to check yours and to set it up correctly. |

I'm excited to see this and I enjoyed the graphic novel but I'm more amped about Flashpoint which is scheduled to be thier next release. Looking forward to see what they do with it.
The Nerdist posted an exclusive trailer for the next DC Universe Animated film. Check out the trailer for Superman Unbound below.
The Plot: Superman Unbound, based on Geoff Johns' 2008 Action Comics story arc, finds the Man of Steel squaring off against the planet-destroying alien machine, Brainiac, while balancing his responsibilities to Lois Lane and cousin Kara (Supergirl). The voice cast includes White Collar's Matt Bomer as Superman, Fringe's John Noble as Brainiac and Castle's Stana Katic and Molly Quinn as Lois and Kara, respectively.
Superman Unbound will premiere at WonderCon 2013 in Anaheim.
I'm excited to see this and I enjoyed the graphic novel but I'm more amped about Flashpoint which is scheduled to be thier next release. Looking forward to see what they do with it.
John Noble as Braniac. Sweet. You could almost pretend that Walternate is behind it and this was one of his Fringe experiments.
Animation looks kind of goofy, but at least it ain't anime. I'll check this out.
(I hope the Best Buy exclusive figure for this is Supergirl or Brainiac, but I bet it will be Superman).
I hate the art style. Looks like shit. Not as good as all the other DC animated movies I have seen. Story looks cool though. But the art makes me want to cry. Supes head looks to small for his body and his jaw looks all jacked up. Not good at all DC, not at all. :(
John Noble as Brainiac is effing awesome!! Looking forward to this one.
Hell!! Yes!!! ...this should be okay.
John Noble...."flee! flee for your lives!!!"
I totally agree with axia777 the artwork is garbage. I'm afraid it's going to effect the way I feel about the film. I didn't like the artwork in the Batman:The Dark Knight Returns either. I don't get it. DC does better work on their Saturday morning Cartoon Network shows than in their feature length animated movies. After looking at the creative 3-D animation in the trailers for DC themed video games (Injustice Gods Among Us) I can't bear going back and looking at the Superman Unbound Trailer it's like watching Huckleberry Hound.
At least DC is trying to keep the Superman Machine oiled.....they know this is a tentpole year for them to get it together after being squashed by Marvel. I'll take it for what it's worth and just try to enjoy it. I do agree that the artwork is a bit suspect, but hey, at least they're tyring...

All is Dust and DNA
Jim Stump explores the meaning of the Lenten season from the perspective of evolutionary creation.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
Jim Stump explores the meaning of the Lenten season from the perspective of evolutionary creation.
From 2012: Many secular and many evangelical voices agree on one 'truism'—that if you are an orthodox Christian with a high view of the authority of the Bible, you cannot believe in evolution in any form at all. New Atheist authors such as Richard Dawkins and creationist writers such as Ken Ham seem to have arrived at consensus on this.
Here are some of the best responses from around the web to David's Barash's controversial editorial about God and Evolution in the New York Times.
If discussions of science and religion sometimes get bogged down in Genesis, perhaps that is because they have not made the preparatory journey through the rich material of the Wisdom books.
Everyone is so worried about success and getting this or that honorable diploma—the people here are smart and understand many complex things perfectly—but it's a long distance from the head to the heart.
We must press beyond the various creation narratives in the Hebrew Bible, including the final chapters of Job, to the picture of God revealed in the New Testament—the Creator who does not rationally explain away the scandal of suffering but who instead enters into it.
All of you who do science, all of you who teach or research or you're involved in engineering or medicine or education, or biology or chemistry or physics—you are doing a noble thing. You are thinking God's thoughts after him. … You are obeying God's command given way back in Genesis to exercise dominion, to learn about, to be curious and discover and steward the earth.
The Psalmist is saying that when we walk outside and look up, the heavens are telling us two things about God: they tell us about his glory, and they tell us about what his hands can do.
Sometimes, out of fear or some sense of being required to defend our position, Church leaders and teachers have hastily set up a boundary marker around some doctrinal theory which they have confused as a core doctrinal issue.
"It's tempting to think that the church needs to decide quickly which of these [original sin] scenarios is right, and which ones must be wrong. I believe the church is better served by taking its time, holding several different scenarios in tension for a while as we think through the implications of each."
We need to hear stories from others who have wrestled with evolution and Christian faith. What arguments made them change their views on science? How did they hold fast to their relationship with God? The essays in this series will eventually comprise a book, provisionally titled, "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution."
Critics of Christianity look to evolution to show how the emergence of human life on earth demanded enormous ruin and ravage, billions of years of apparent waste and futility, species extermination and organism road kill. Not only was the massive dying off rampant, it's mandatory too.
The gift of Love must be the gift of freedom, the gift of a degree of letting-be, and this can be expected to be true of all creatures to the extent that is appropriate to their proper character. It is in the nature of dense snow fields that they will sometimes slip with the destructive force of an avalanche. It is the nature of lions that they will seek their prey. It is the nature of cells that they will mutate, sometimes producing new forms of life, sometimes grievous disabilities, sometimes cancers.
These excerpts from Origins: Christian Perspectives on Creation, Evolution, and Intelligent Design, written by BioLogos president Deborah Haarsma and her husband Loren Haarsma, offer a sampling of the book's many topics, from exploring our disagreements and agreements on origins as Christians to explaining scientific processes to looking at how we read Genesis.
There's a word beneath the water, and the Bow River belongs to God. Have you been listening?
Were one to propose creation by means of theistic evolution, some of the presuppositions for these responses to the problem of evil no longer function. Therefore, advocating some form of theistic evolution poses problems for standard explanations of the problem of evil.
The Queen had only one way of settling all difficulties, great or small. "Off with his head!" she said, without even looking round
During his seminary education, Dr. Murphy also gained a deeper understanding of Luther's theology of the cross, and he realized that it's really the best way to approach the science and theology dialogue.
The tension generated by our understanding of God's character, as revealed in the Bible, and by the reality of the natural world around us has been the focus of much debate within the Christian church since the first century. This series examines critically several of the proposed solutions to this problem, viewing them from the perspective of a geologist, paleontologist, and orthodox evangelical Christian.
As I stressed in my column about the YEC view, creationism is ultimately about theodicy—it's not only about theodicy, to be sure, but the belief that animals must not have suffered and died before Adam and Eve committed the first sin is crucial to the "young" in Young Earth Creationism. To a significant degree, Theistic Evolution is also about theodicy.

Monster Mania once again delivers the goods and does not dissapoint. Due to my consumption of alcohol this past weekend and general lack of a good memory for placing specific details, I will once again do a general categorized recap rather than a day by day one. Headed over to Cherry Hill, New Jersey on Friday morning with Jen and the parents (they love these things too, god bless 'em) and left Sunday afternoon and here's to the best of my recollection all of the fun that ensued in that three day span. Rather than cluttering up the post with pictures, i'm just gonna link to them, so click any of the links to be taken to the picture of what i'm describing. Right click and open them in a new tab or window so you don't leave the site.
In the past couple years i've kinda lost interest in the paying 20 bucks to get an autographed 8x10 from the dude who was in that horror movie, so I really don't do that so much anymore. If I have something like a figure, mask, or poster that I want to get signed by someone, i'll pay the money no problem but what I mostly do is just go over and say hi to people or ask to take a picture with them, which they're usually (but not always - more on that in a minute!) nice enough to not charge for. Beats an over-priced 8x10 that'll just sit in my drawer, I figure. Since Jen has started coming to these things with me, I usually now just snap a picture of her with whoever we want to meet and that allows me to say hi and mingle for a bit with them. I'm sure you guys would rather look at pictures of her with these guys and gals than pictures of me with them anyway, am I right? So here's the celebs we met/had encounters with this past weekend....
Derek Mears - I first met Derek at the last Monster Mania con and as everyone has pointed out already, he's probably the nicest guy on the planet. I don't know if he remembered Jen and I from the last one but he acted like he did so he either truly did or he's just so nice that he wants people to feel like he does - either option being incredibly cool. Jen took another picture with him and then later in the night at the bar, where you can usually always find Derek, I made eye contact with him and he smiled and waved hello, which was really cool. Maybe he did remember us after all. I told Jen to go up to him and ask if he wanted to do a round of shots with us - Jen was buzzed enough to ask and Derek was once again awesome enough to oblige. Jager shots with Derek Mears - the highlight of our weekend, to say the least. He then bought us the next round of drinks and we chatted for a bit before he went off to mingle with other fans. When Jen and I headed up to the room and off to bed, he was still hanging in the bar and talking to whoever wanted to talk to him and I wouldn't doubt that he remained up all night chatting with his fans. I truly believe that the man is not capable of being anything but incredibly nice and gracious. Funny that he ended up playing Jason Voorhees, eh?
Danny Steinmann - You may not recognize the name, but Steinmann directed Friday The 13th Part 5. He was one of the more miserable looking people at the convention, which is not to say he wasn't nice - he just didn't seem like he wanted to be there. We ended up sitting at the bar right next to him and I initially offered to buy him a shot but he told me he didn't like the taste of alcohol and thus, refused. A couple minutes later I noticed he wanted another mixed drink and seemed to be having a lot of trouble getting the bartender's attention so I called her over and told her to take his order and i'd pay for whatever he got. He didn't seem to want me to buy the drink for him but he was incredibly gracious and although we didn't say another word to each other until he left, he did tap me on the shoulder and thank me again before he departed. Saw him Sunday morning in the autograph room and waved but he either didn't recognize me or was just too tired and miserable because he didn't wave back. I'm just happy to say I bought the director of Friday Part 5 a drink!
James Duval - Another name you may not recognize but he played Frank The Bunny in Donnie Darko and was also in May - as the shirtless dude with dreads who ended up getting a pair of scissors lodged in his skull. Jen had picked up the Frank The Bunny Cult Classics figure at the last Monster Mania so we got that signed and she snapped a picture with him. Really cool guy who we saw later in the bar and Jen was about to go up and say hello but he vanished before she got the chance.
Travis Van Winkle - He may have played an incredible douche (Trent) in the Friday remake, but this guy is really cool and nice in real life. He snapped two photos with Jen free of charge - one happy and one serious - per his request. I really thought this guy would be a dick in real life but I guess it just goes to show how good of an actor he is!
Sid Haig - Maybe he was just tired because it was nearing the end of the day or maybe he was just unhappy about the fact that we didn't want to buy anything from him, but Haig seemed kinda grumpy. He's usually very nice so i'm sure he was just tired. Jen got another picture with him and we left with a bit of a sour taste in our mouths.
The Iron Sheik - I'm a big wrestling fan and huge Howard Stern fan so I wanted to get a picture with Sheik but as it turned out he was kind of a dickhead. Or rather, his handler was. As I mentioned earlier, i've never had a problem asking for a simple picture with somebody - they always do it free of charge. Sheik was the first and only exception to the rule. Funny that the least horror related guy there was the biggest dick, eh? He didn't even look at me or say hello to me and his handler tried to charge me $20 to take a picture with him. Quite honestly I was just amusing myself and throwing him a bone by asking to take a picture with him so I wasn't dare gonnna spend a penny to meet him. A guy behind his table offered to give me half the money if I paid the other half (I guess because he desperately wanted Sheik to feel good by having someone actually pay to meet him), but the handler quickly shot that idea down for some reason. Not that I would've done it but this guy was a real prick. I've been to a few wrestling conventions before and they're always poorly run and poorly organized and this encounter once again proved that wrestlers just don't know how to do conventions. Why was this has-been there in the first place? I also tried to get a picture with George 'The Animal' Steele later on in the day but he turned me down too because "people were waiting for him". Granted he was heading out and I can't say I really blame him but I can't imagine these guys made much money or won over any fans at this convention.
The Blue Meanie - The Blue Meanie is an old school ECW/WWF wrestler that i've always liked who is usually at these conventions - not as a celebrity, but rather just visiting as a fan. Always cool to see a guy who is a known name come to these things as just another fan. Jen didn't know who he was but she got a picture with him and I think she may be the newest member of the Meanie bandwagon.
The Toxic Avenger - Ok, so he's not the real Toxie, but that's neither here nor there. At these cons when Troma slaps a Toxie mask on a fan and hands a mop over to him, he becomes the one and only Toxie for the weekend. Jen, Gizmo in hand, took a picture with the monster hero.
Don and Murph (aka Shawn & MJ) - I guess they're stars at this point, at least in my eyes. I know some of you guys are also fans of these YouTuber's, who go under the name Coolduder, and it was honestly one of the highlights of my weekend to meet and say hello to them. Despite MJ seeming kind of like a dick in some of the videos, he's incredibly nice in person and same goes for Shawn. These guys are both very large fellas, as can be seen in the picture I took with them (i'm 6 feet tall and I look like a child!), and it was a real pleasure to finally meet them in person after all these years of watching them on YouTube. Even got MJ's signature! Check out their channel if you haven't yet and check out their video at Monster Mania to see some footage from around the hotel.
- I went a little crazy on DVD's this weekend, but they're always one of my main convention buys. Here's all the titles I picked up : Zombie Strippers Blu-ray ($5!), The Blair Witch Project, Child's Play 2, Cutting Class, Clownhouse, Parents, Coraline, Dead Snow, Monster's Inc, Don't Open Till Christmas, No Holds Barred, Weekend of Horrors 86, Hunter's Blood, Death Proof, Thriller : They Call Her One Eye, and even Puff The Magic Dragon on VHS (which we were given for free). Glad I stocked up on lots of awesome movies to keep me occupied for a while.
- Picked up a signed art print of the Fright Rags Creepshow 'The Crate' design, Hancocked by the artist - Zornow. Really nice guy.
- Boo Berry lip balm! Boo Berry is my favorite cereal of all time and since it can't be found in NY, I guess this is the next best thing. Thanks Jen!
- Silent Night, Deadly Night t-shirt. Badass!
- Got my dad Neca's Dread Pirate Roberts figure. Princess Bride is one of our favorite movies of all time. Don't care what ya say, Zac!
- My brother bought me an awesome 12" Hostel figure for Christmas a couple years back and some guy was selling a smaller version of the same figure for only 5 bucks, so I couldn't resist.
- One of my favorite purchases was this Freddy Krueger make-up kit from 1988, still sealed. I have no intentions of actually opening it and i'm sure the make-up in there is all dried up by now anyway, but it'll be a nice display piece in my room. Who knows, maybe someday i'll bust it open and turn Jen into Freddy!
- Jen picked up a glow in the dark Monster Mania 13 shirt, a very unique Freddy keychain, a few Freddy pens, a mini Frankenstein figure (which she fell in love with), a Gizmo figure, and perhaps coolest of all, an original Gremlins lunchbox complete with thermos. She collects vintage lunchboxes so that was a really cool find, and for only 10 bucks.
- While there are always tons of film screenings and discussion panels going on at Monster Mania, I rarely seem to ever actually attend any. My opinion on seeing movies i've already seen at conventions is that it's kind of a waste of time, although sometimes they have cool introductions by the stars. As for panels, I like them, i'm just usually doing something else - like drinking up in the room, eating philly cheesesteaks, people watching, or snatching up cool merchandise. I did catch the tail end of the Addams Family reunion, which was pretty interesting. Here's a picture of what John Astin, the original Gomez, looks like nowadays. 80 years old and and still kickin!
- Ate lunch next to Adam West and later in the night dinner next to Dick Miller (Gremlins/Howling)!
- Saw the Batmobile up close and personal.
- Rode in the elevators with David Naughton (American Werewolf) and PJ Soles (Halloween).
- Dread Central always has a table at Monster Mania where they give away tons of free posters and swag. Got a bunch of stuff (including a few El Superbeasto masks and Saw 6/Final Destination posters) and I handed the rest of my Grace baby bottles, postcards, and posters over to Paul/Nomad who gave them away at the table throughout the weekend. In exchange for the goods, he gave me an Inglorious Basterds bottle opener keychain and some sort of squishy anime (?) character, both which were not available at the table for free. Thanks Paul and I hope everyone that got some Grace swag enjoyed it!
- Wanna give a shoutout to Dallas and Curtis from DC World. I met these guys at a convention years back and it's always nice to see them at Monster Mania. This weekend we finally got the opporunity to hang out a bunch in the lobby, so that was cool. Looking forward to seeing ya guys next time!
- Philly Cheesesteak count : 5. Jen and I love the cheesesteaks at the hotel restaurant and it's pretty much all we eat when we're there.
- Another shoutout to Chip Jones, who I would link to but his website is down at the moment. Chip was a vendor at Monster Mania two cons ago and my parents loved and bought one of his abandoned insane asylum photos. They made a personal vow to pick up a new one each time they came to the con, but he's been absent the past two times. Jen and I ended up seeing him in the bar on Saturday night and recognizing him and we got the lowdown on where he's been and did a few shots with him. Get a dealer table in March, guy!
- The hotel is really starting to embrace Monster Mania and that's awesome to see. Specially designed menus and speciality drinks and food items are available exclusively for the convention. Makes it all feel that much more important and fun.
- Speaking of the hotel - I found out through our room service lady, who I hung out with for a bit, that the staff isn't allowed to go downstairs during the weekend of conventions, even after work hours. How much does that suck! This woman was really nice and wanted to snap a picture of the Batmobile for her son, but wasn't allowed to. She also wanted to meet Miguel Nunez (Return of the Living Dead/Friday Part 5), who she knew from some show, so I offered to go get his autograph for her if she gave me the money. Would've been cool since I would've gotten to meet him for free, not to mention it would've been nice to help her out, but she never came back to the room to give me the money so it just wasn't meant to be. I'm sure she came up later in the day and was looking for me but I wasn't gonna sit up there all day waiting. Sorry!
- Checked out a bit of the Rocky Horror event, which Monster Mania does every Saturday night. I've never actually seen that movie, believe it or not, so we didn't stay for long, although Jen loved it as she's way into the flick. They basically have a cast on stage re-enact the whole movie as it's playing and the audience shouts out lines to the screen. Here's a shot of that.
- Creepy manly Alice in Wonderland vs Michael Myers. Who will survive and what will be left of them?
- Terry Cruikshank was in the house as always with his awesome creations, which you can see on his website. I always love looking at these things but I think that's precisely the problem - people love to look and take pictures but don't want to shell out the money (upwards of $250) for them. Not saying they're not worth that price, it's just a little too much to drop in one place. Here's a couple pictures I took of some of my favorites ; Victor Crowley, American Werewolf, Tarman, and Return of the Living Dead half-chick. He also had a giant werewolf on display, which Jen got a picture with.
And that about does it. There are rumblings about some kind of Monster Mania party this Halloween hosted by Robert Englund but I haven't heard any real details on that yet. If it's a whole weekend thing i'll try to make it out there but if not i'll have to wait till next March to grace the hallowed halls of Monster Mania once more. For now, it's unfortunately back to boring monotonous life where I can't eat side by side with Batman and will be doing shots alone, without the accompaniment of Jason Voorhees. The feeling I get after Monster Mania comes to a close is akin to the feeling I used to get as a child when Christmas was over - except with a couple less tears. Big thanks to the man who makes it all happen and pulls off the best horror con i've ever been to year after year, Dave Hagan. Without you, my world would be a little bit less exciting.

The aim of the seminar is a close reading of the integral text of the eight books of Aristotle's "Physics", one of the most significant philosophical investigations of nature, which Heidegger called the book of Western philosophical tradition. We will discuss the main themes and topics of the treatise in both metaphysics (first principles, cause and necessity) and natural philosophy (movement, infinity, continuity, place and time, Zeno's paradoxes).

only on a per character basis
I know these are dirty words around here, but would people be opposed to cloth/fabric parts or pieces for characters? For example, many of the POP figures had cloth on their vintage counterparts. Some designs would be easier to make if they could simply have fabric clothing instead of hard plastic. Would people here be opposed to some characters having cloth parts?
We already have Grizzlor with fur, so it's sort of similar to have soft material in place of hard plastic. Not every new figure, just some for which articulation and design could be an issue.

I clicked yes...why is it saying I clicked no?
I have been missing cloth capes since the late 90's. We get them every once and a while on a smaller figure, but I feel that they're better for display. Yeah, I get that it'll always look perfect in plastic for the most part. But, I doesn't weigh down the figure and doesn't hinder the articulation.
I think for some softer things would be good, for one I hate that Adam has his arms so far out to the sides because he's wearing a simple shirt, like he has on Battle Armor or something....
I would like hair to somehow be softer....She-Ra's bugs the hell out of me, and the lack of posability with the hair on many figure....
I think however the molded capes look good as opposed to being cloth....so, not exactly sure how to vote....it's not really a figure basis, it's more a what on what figure basis.
Recent.... Lizard Man
Wanted.... NA She-Ra, Jitsu....
Needed.... Dragstor
Oh man, did I forget to use these [sarcasm][/sarcasm] again? Sorry....
Check here for my My collection page, MOTU and more!
I voted for the only on a per character basis option.
A good example would be Netossa. Her cape/net should have been a cloth fabric...
DESPERATELY need ThunderCats Minimates series one!!!
**Staunch FILMation lover!!! **** MUST have a New Adventures Subscription!!!**
MOTUC NEEDS more TROLLANS !!!
I'd say yes but there has to be a certain level of quality to the material and how it's used. King Greyskull's cape comes to mind. It would have to match the quality of the rest of the figure or else it's a waist of time.
A journey that began long ago in a place neither near nor far
A story of heroes, passed down through the ages
Until now.
This is our story. These are our heroes
Yeah, Netossa definitely needed a cloth/net like material for her cape. I could see it being useful on someone like Eldor as well. You know, give him a real Obi-Wan Kenobi vibe.

Soft goods would be cool, but I bet it would be harder to get the look right.
Yes. There are figures that could have possibly had them earlier on which (imo only) and if they did start doing it now would seem inconsistent. Had they done it from the start, i don't think i'd be against it.
Most Wanted MOTU Classics:
*MotU ~ Multi-Bot/Tung Lashor *PoP ~ Angella/Mermista *200X ~ Roboto/Calix *Filmation ~ Teela Na/Lord Masque
*Play-Sets ~ Snake Mountain/Fright Zone *Vehicles ~ Roton/Land Shark *Beasts ~ Night Stalker/Stridor
I won't buy figures with clothes, they look silly on small figures... Adam looks really better with the plastic vest...
you know what? at first i was a little bit disappointed that Mattel was using plastic to make capes and such, but i've grown so used to it that i kinda prefer it now ... and besides, a figure with cloth now would clash against what we already have.
Also, you got a little mixed up in making the questions , i mean, first you ask "Do you oppose to cloth", then you ask "Would you be in favour of cloth" . I believe some folks (liek me for example) may have been misguided.

I agree 100%!
First the questions are confusing, if you answer "yes" to the title should be "no" to the poll question. Please change the thread title to match the poll question.
As for the question I think it depends on the character, if you want something unique like Grizzlor then it is worthy. But to apply this to every cape or cloth I don't think that would be good aesthetically. For example Scareglow's cape is perfect the way it is while the vintage was fabric.
Sorry for the confusion...Vbulletin frustrates me cause it makes you do the poll AFTER the whole post. I forgot what I wrote, lol.
Fabric should definitely be allowed.
Sure, on a case-by-case basis.
Not to sound like a creepy cheerleader for Uki, but it's nice to know there is at least one person on this forum who is extremely positive & friendly all the time. I don't think I could be that nice even if you paid me. If we ever give out awards for "forum member of the month", Uki gets my vote. -Mr. Shokoti
Unfortunately, the thread title caused me to mess up my vote. I answered No, as I thought the question was "Are you opposed to cloth/fabric in MOTUC?"
For the record, my vote should have been Yes, I am in favour of fabric.
I said on a case by case basis......but it would really be when absolutly necessary only.....like in Grizlor's case to keep the vintage look. I do NOT want to start having figures with rooted hair or dress up outfits (sorry fashion fans)...that would be very out of place IMO. The only exception would be Gwildor honestly as I think he may benefit from it....but even then I'm torn cause it may look out of place as well. Karg would be cool too as he never had a figure and he would probably turn out awesome that way. It would be way more noticable on the ladies though as we have enough of them established already without it. Eldor's robe would even be out of place now as I would asume it would be done now in a similar fashion to PD He-man for continuity. Had they done this from the start it would be a completely different story, but now that we're this far into the line it's a little late to make a new standard.

I think that there are some accessories that could have been very interesting in cloth - like Frosta's cape. If they used something iridescent like the original material on the vintage figure, I think that would have been pretty interesting.
Hmm. I guess there's nothing stopping me from making one...I might try that...
At this point- yes, I'm opposed.
One of the main rules of good design is consistency. Following this rule is one of many great traits that put 4H a cut above the rest. If they had been using real softgoods from the beginning, I'd feel differently. Or if they were to go back and remake all capes and such for a special cloth accessories pack which we know will never happen.
no. its good without fabric
Skeleton-Warriors, Ra-Jar, Spinwit, Rock Golem, Evil Seed, Lord Masque, Prahvus, General Tartaran, Hawke, Slob-Boar, King Agho, Hunga the Harpy, Sh'gora, Masks of Power Demons, Nocturna, Lizzor, Horde Wraiths, Sagitar, Crimson Fury, Lodar, Vizar, Angast, Negator, Melaktha, ABC Giants, Stridor
It wouldn't bother me if it was on a cape but other than that I don't really see the need for cloth/fabric. So only on a per character basis.
In general, I am opposed to soft/non-plastic clothes on the MOTUC figures. Primarily because it would look odd to me for some to have cloth goods while many others don't.
Netossa could have used a cloth cape though. That I agree. Her cape is less a "cape" and more an accessory. I really dig how we had fur on Grizzlor, flocking on Moss Man, and rooted hair on Megator. These were all great because they were unique and special to the character. But capes and clothes as a rule should be plastic just to keep the line looking similar.

2, rue Louis Bouilly
Metro:La Muette
I rarely go to the 16th so it was an adventure.
I wanted so bad to see all of the Monet exhibit but went to Giverny instead to see Monet's home and gardens. Thanks for posting all of your lovely photos and narrative - now I feel like I went to see it. Well, I did - on your blog.
Your watercolors are just as inspiring if not more so. They always make me want to eat a macaron !
PS This year, I am buying chocolate covered macarons to give as holiday gifts to friends and clients. Yes, I am.
Oh my goodness!! You've just featured my very favorite museum in all of Paris! It may not be as big as the Louvre, but I could spend an hour looking at each painting. I lived just a few blocks away! And why don't you go to the 16th more? It's a lovely neighborhood.
Dearest Carol and Bear ---
We have throughly enjoyed the posts of your recent Paris adventures! We're delighted to learn that Bear (our favorite!)
was strolling the rues of Paris at the same time we were, there earlier this week, and in fact, enjoying some similar adventures (WH Smith, Angelina and the Marmottan). Your photographs are vivid and beautiful, and providing us the chance to feel as though we are still there, which is where our hearts remain. Our best to you and Bear always!

Madison Square Garden
21 May 2005
Madison Square Garden
'The most famous arena in the world', this place calls itself, and not without justification. I strolled down to the venue mid morning to make sure all was well (I flatter myself to think that my presence is in any way helpful to the set-up process, so dont disillusion me) and indeed it was. I sorted out my guest tickets for the day, and pottered at front of house for a while. There was still a couple of hours to kill until soundcheck time, so Smasher and I wandered out onto 33rd St and headed up towards Macys to take advantage of the current astonishing dollar exchange rate. There were many U2 t-shirts in the crowd outside, Vertigo logos everywhere. Smasher made a comment about an aeroplane over head being quite low. I looked up and there in the sky, between two buildings was Air Vertigo, the target tail fin and stripey sides clearly visible. There is only one! It took a minute to appreciate what a very odd coincidence this was. I guess the band are on their way, then
Our favourite musicians showed up in really good form, clearly loving being in the building and looking forward to taking on New York. A bite to eat and then the doors opened to let in the audience and a traditionally astonishing guest list. Wandering through the backstage area was like a trip through Madame Tussauds. Julia Roberts, Kofi Annan, Patti Smith, Ed Burns, Christie Turlington, P.Diddy Doing just one date at Madison Square Garden this time made the concentration of guests pretty intense. David Bowie greeted me like an old friend which made me feel ten feet tall. He looked really well, which was good to see as there have been all sorts of rumours about his health since last year.
U2 played a blinder and I really enjoyed the night despite having easily the worst night, technically, of the whole tour. Right at the beginning of the Arcade Fire song which serves as the show intro tape, we lost power to the whole video control set-up at front of house. 'Bing-Click' it went and our vast array of monitors and screens all went black. Smashers eyes vacated their sockets momentarily and I was about to radio in an emergency stop, knowing we now had less than three minutes till the band would walk onto the stage. However, it would be a brave man who would hit the abort button during the countdown process at Madison Square Garden, so Smasher leapt into the fray and sorted it out in sixty seconds or less. I am not entirely sure what happened, but clearly some of the computers didnt enjoy being shut down and rebooted with no warning, so there was all kinds of funkiness going on from this point onward. As ever, much of this is nothing that the audience would really be aware of, but it kept us juggling weird glitches for the rest of the night.
Afterwards it was a complete zoo backstage and getting out of the building proved challenging (its a large complex and the arena is on the fifth floor). The long loading ramp was awash with sweating grunting men pushing boxes at high speed and the only elevator was continually packed so we headed down on foot, being joined en route by Patti Smith which was pleasantly surreal.
Our escape was ultimately successful, though, and a few of us slipped away to the relative tranquility of the Algonquin for a nightcap.

This medication is used to relieve a dry cough usually caused by the common cold or other conditions as prescribed by your doctor. Relieving a cough helps you get more rest and sleep. This product contains 2 medications, hydrocodone and homatropine. Hydrocodone is a narcotic cough suppressant (antitussive) that works on certain centers in the brain to stop the urge to cough. Homatropine belongs to a class of drugs known as anticholinergics.
This medication is generally used for short-term treatment. It should not be used for persistent coughs from smoking or long-term breathing problems (e.g., asthma, emphysema), or for coughs with a lot of mucus or fluids (productive coughs), unless directed by your doctor.
Cough-and-cold products have not been shown to be safe or effective in children younger than 6 years. Therefore, this product is not recommended to treat cold symptoms in children younger than 6 years. Some products (including some long-acting tablets/capsules) are not recommended for use in children younger than 12 years. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for more details about using your product safely.
These products do not cure or shorten the length of the common cold and may cause serious side effects. To decrease the risk for serious side effects, carefully follow all dosage directions. Giving more than the recommended dose or using this medication along with other cough-and-cold products has resulted in serious (even fatal) side effects, including slowed/stopped breathing. Talk to the doctor or pharmacist before giving other cough-and-cold medication that might contain the same or similar ingredients (see also Drug Interactions section). Ask about other ways to relieve cough and cold symptoms (such as drinking enough fluids, using a humidifier or saline nose drops/spray). Do not use this product to make a child sleepy.
Take this medication by mouth with or without food, usually every 4 or 6 hours as needed or as directed by your doctor. The dosage is based on your age, medical condition, and response to therapy. Follow your doctor's directions closely. The manufacturer recommends that adults should not take more than 6 tablets or 6 teaspoons (30 milliliters) daily. Children 6-12 years of age should not take more than 3 tablets or 3 teaspoonfuls (15 milliliters) daily.
If you are taking the syrup, measure the dose carefully using a special measuring device or spoon. Do not use a household spoon.
This medication may cause withdrawal reactions, especially if it has been used regularly for a long time or in high doses. In such cases, withdrawal symptoms (such as restlessness, runny nose, watering eyes, trouble sleeping, severe abdominal/muscle pain, nausea, vomiting, rapid breathing, and fast heartbeat.) may occur if you suddenly stop using this medication. To prevent withdrawal reactions, your doctor may reduce your dose gradually. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details, and report any withdrawal reactions immediately.
Though it is very unlikely to occur, this medication can also be habit-forming and may result in abnormal drug-seeking behavior (addiction). Do not increase your dose, take it more frequently, or take it for a longer time than prescribed. Properly stop the medication when so directed. This will lessen the chances of becoming addicted.
When taken for a long time, this medication may not work as well and may require different dosing. Tell your doctor if this medication stops working well.
Inform your doctor if your symptoms persist or worsen.
Nausea commonly occurs with the use of hydrocodone and usually goes away after the first few doses. Consult your doctor or pharmacist about ways to decrease nausea (e.g., taking with food, lying down for 1-2 hours with as little head movement as possible).
Lightheadedness, dizziness, drowsiness, vomiting, and constipation may also occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
To prevent constipation, maintain a diet adequate in fiber, drink plenty of water, and exercise. If you become constipated while using this drug, consult your pharmacist for help in selecting a laxative (e.g., stimulant-type with stool softener).
Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.
Tell your doctor right away if you have any serious side effects, including: severe stomach/abdominal pain, mental/mood changes (e.g., agitation, confusion), difficult/painful urination.
Get medical help right away if you have any very serious side effects, including: eye pain/swelling/redness, vision changes (such as seeing rainbows around lights at night, blurred vision), slow/shallow/irregular breathing, difficulty waking up, seizure.
A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is unlikely, but seek immediate medical attention if it occurs. Symptoms of a serious allergic reaction may include: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing.
This is not a complete list of possible side effects. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.

To minimize dizziness and lightheadedness, get up slowly when rising from a sitting or lying position.
Before having surgery, tell your doctor or dentist that you are using this medication.
Older adults may be more sensitive to the side effects of this drug, especially confusion, dizziness, drowsiness, and slow/shallow breathing.
Caution is advised when using this product in children, especially if they have breathing problems.
Before using this medication, women of childbearing age should talk with their doctor(s) about the risks and benefits. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or if you plan to become pregnant. During pregnancy, this medication should be used only when clearly needed. It may slightly increase the risk of birth defects if used during the first two months of pregnancy. Also, using it for a long time or in high doses near the expected delivery date may harm the unborn baby. To lessen the risk, take the smallest effective dose for the shortest possible time. Tell the doctor right away if you notice any symptoms in your newborn baby such as slow/shallow breathing, irritability, abnormal/persistent crying, vomiting, or diarrhea.
This drug may pass into breast milk and could have undesirable effects on a nursing infant. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.
Drug interactions may change how your medications work or increase your risk for serious side effects. This document does not contain all possible drug interactions.

Some products that may interact with this drug include: other anticholinergic drugs (e.g., belladonna alkaloids, benztropine), cimetidine, narcotic antagonists (e.g., naltrexone, naloxone), narcotic agonists/antagonists (e.g., butorphanol, nalbuphine), potassium tablets/capsules, pramlintide.
The risk of serious side effects (such as slow/shallow breathing, severe drowsiness/dizziness) may be increased if this medication is taken with other products that may also affect breathing or cause drowsiness. Therefore, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking other products such as alcohol, antihistamines (such as cetirizine, diphenhydramine), drugs for sleep or anxiety (such as alprazolam, diazepam, zolpidem), muscle relaxants (such as carisoprodol, cyclobenzaprine), and other narcotic pain relievers (such as codeine, hydromorphone).
Check the labels on all your medicines (such as allergy or cough-and-cold products) because they may contain ingredients that cause drowsiness. Ask your pharmacist about using those products safely.

BugE – the DIY three-wheel electric vehicle
Article Summary
Electric vehicles are beginning to spread onto the mass market, but one of the limiting factors in these early days is a high-cost compared to their gas-burning equivalents. Electric scooters and motorcycles are considerably cheaper, but not everyone is comfortable on two wheels, or likes being exposed to the elements. Here's an alternative type of EV that costs less than six thousand dollars, is stable on the road and will protect you from wind and rain. It's called the BugE, and there's just one catch to it – you have to put the thing together yourself.

Some new hardware comes out, and the first thing you compare it to... is itself?
Phoronix: Calxeda EnergyCore ECX-1000 ARM Server
Earlier this month I was down in Texas visiting the Calxeda office where for the past four years they have been busy trying to revolutionize the server market through ultra-low power ARM-based servers. This morning one of their partners, Boston Limited, is formally launching their energy-efficient "Viridis" server built around Calxeda's EnergyCore ECX-1000 hardware. In this article are the first of some public Calxeda ARM benchmarks on Ubuntu Linux while more results will be out in the coming days.
Some new hardware comes out, and the first thing you compare it to... is itself?
Very cool machine! Thanks for review! True, needs something to compare to, however... probably an Intel or AMD equivalent, running in same total cost segment.
Per-watt numbers when?
Michael, maybe you should try to show the phoronix test suite to these people: http://phoronix.com/forums/register....f931f51f7b2d6c
Do a proper benchmark, taking into account all the points made in the article.
Also, any idea about prices? Of single chips and complete minimal setups, like what's offered by HP?
The best thing to run this against would be something like Atom or Tegra 3. For comparison you could also calculate some performance per watt metrics for Atom, Tegra 3, and Ivy Bridge. That'd be cool.
I bet the performance per watt on some of the old dedi servers people run (Core 2 Quad, etc) is heinous! I'd love to see performance per watt on that "venerable" old hardware tested against something cutting edge like this.
This looks like an interesting chip - although the 32-bitness isn' ideal.
I expect a future ARMv8 variant of this device built on a 20nm node will be very competitive.
But yeah, it would be nice to see it compared with comparable Atoms and Bobcats.
Comparing the results to http://openbenchmarking.org/result/1...RA-INTELATOM04, it looks like this quad-core ARM at 1.4 GHz can keep up with an Intel Atom D525 at 1.8 GHz. So the flagship quad-core ARM product ist equivalent to a dual-core Atom from 2010, the Atom running at a slightly higher clock frequency.
32bit isn't all that big of a hit if you are using this for webhosting... if you were using it for serving out databases and such it probably would be since those are going to be geard toward big iron thats already 64bit an example being ZFS
