mjc613 wrote:When this appeared last time, we learned about the good-hearted Oriah the Ox. She "had been reading the news and was really upset about the children in Afghanistan who have been affected by the war there. She did some research and learned about Afghans for Afghans, a project by knitters to send warm clothes and blankets to those very children. Since the best yarn for keeping warm is wool, she asked her friend Shirley the Sheep if she could help her out. Shirley agreed to contribute wool and Oriah got out her knitting needles and went to work. Unfortunately, she is very nearsighted and started using yarn from a sheep she didn't know, but who was too polite to say anything. But word got out, and some of the sheep decided to stay in the forest until they could figure out why an ox was knitting!" While it is much warmer now, Oriah is still knitting to get a head start and have things ready for when it gets cold in Afghanistan. Please vote for this shirt and get the word out about Afghans for Afghans.
Thanks so much mjc613 for you support, you rock!

Don't worry though, we have a lot more Men's Short Sleeve Road Bike Jerseys in stock than that.
Castelli GPM Full-Zip Short Sleeve Jersey $0.00
You may have noticed that Castelli has a very large line of clothes. If you look closely, you'll also notice there isn't all that much repetition within the lines. Some jerseys are designed to focus on aerodynamics, some are meant to be super light for summer; the Castelli GPM Full Zip Short Sleeve Jersey has a more utilitarian bent that will make it perfect for unseasonally warm days or those days you are riding up and down the mountains, in and out different temperature regions.
Though we're not usually friends of acronyms, we are actually quite grateful that Castelli has chosen to call this jersey the GPM since its full name, the Gran Premio delle Montagne, is a bit difficult to say while riding at a full clip and your riding buddy has asked you what jersey you are wearing. So then, as this is Castelli's designated "King of the Mountains" jersey, it should come as no surprise that it is amazing at helping you regulate your body temperature. That's due to the use of Castelli's Stratus with Prosecco fabric. It is a dual-layer polyester that has an inner multifilament layer perfect for transporting moisture to the microfiber outer layer where it will immediately evaporate. And the A-Number 1 rule for staying comfortable, especially when climbing in the high mountains, is to stay as dry as possible on the way up so that you won't be a frozen, shivering mess on the way down.
Many other aspects of this jersey work to keep you comfortable and safe. The microfiber collar and sleeves will feel soft against your skin while they work to help ventilate your hot bits. The full-length YKK camlock zipper is so easy to work with, you'll never have to worry about fiddling with a zipper again. Zip up, zip down, unzip or completely zip up with equal ease. For those long days in the saddle when you may not pass too many convenience stores, Castelli has incorporated three big pockets and a separate zippered pocket for essentials like your keys. So don't worry, you can stuff a rain cape, power gels, CO2 cartridges, I.D.s and even a pepper spray without having to worry about reaching capacity. Two reflective tabs on the rear will help alert drivers to your presence in low light or in tunnels.
With a handsomely embossed tone-on-tone scorpion on the left shoulder, you can feel confident in the styling of this mountain-goat's ideal jersey. The Castelli GPM Full Zip Short Sleeve Jersey comes in Acid Green and you'll find sizes ranging from Small to XXX-Large.
Note: Castelli has a "Euro" slimmer fit. We suggest ordering at least one size larger than your normal US size.

Anywhere I could . I won't go into specifics to avoid incriminating myself (just to be 'safe'), but pretty much the only things I refused to do was 1) sell my body and 2) steal from my drug-using friends (if I ripped them off, well... no more drugs, right?)Where do you get $500 a day? (no offense, assuming you don't have a job since you're at your peak)
What made you decide to go u-turn?

Good luck with the not-drinking It can be very challenging at times.I've got one for you: Why did you quit? Obviously I commend you on doing so, but what made you stop? Did people say something to you? Did they throw you in to rehab? Did you just wake up one day and think, "I want to change who I am"?
I ask partly for myself. I can be a heavy drinker, and then two friends in the past 2 weeks separately suggested that I take a break (note: neither of these two people know one another, so there was no discussion between them). Sure enough, as of Saturday morning I haven't had a drink, and my plan is to not have a drink for a month, so it will come to an end in October. But if I ask, "am I doing this for myself?" the answer is most definitely "no." I'm doing it because two separate people suggested it, and I want to show them that there is no problem.
Another question just came to mind: How was it, quitting at the beginning? I imagine it got easier over time?
For me, the break in my drinking hasn't affected me too much so far. I get annoyed quicker and I feel like snapping over the simplest of things (this is especially true at work). I've also found it harder to engage with my friends sometimes because my brain doesn't shut down, so while they're talking I'm either still thinking about work, or something else that's happening in my life. Yesterday there were a couple of occasions in the pub where someone started speaking, I zoned out with my own thoughts and then came back to the room just in time for my friend to stop speaking and look at me for some sort of answer.

So you have to realize when you see a deal like this you aren't going to get the royal jewels. My fiancée and I needed to cut corners somewhere for the wedding and I have a beautiful engagement ring. The diamonds are cloudy. They are too small to see inclusions so don't worry about that. Overall I am happy and would order it all over again for the money. Of course I would probably be more happy with a 2k band just like it but the money jut wasn't going to be spend at this time. For the price it's a good ring. Note: I you are going to wear this ring solo than it will look great. The only way you can tell its a bit cloudy is putting up to my nice diamonds. Hope this helps.
This was exactly what I was looking for! Excellent craftsmanship, beautiful ring. i had been lookin at one at the diamond center for 800$ that had fewer carrots and less gold! I was very happy when I laid eyes on this ring. It matches my wedding set that I got 10 years ago. Very happy lady here
Matched perfectly to my engagement ring. Very nice quality and size.
I ordered this ring after shopping online with other discount, overstock, and retail websites. I am happy to say this was the best price compared to others and when my ring arrived it was beautiful. I took it to a local jeweler to confirm the ring was indeed white gold and real diamonds. I am happy to report it was all authentic. The ring is shiny, sparkles and looks great on my finger. I would recommend this item.
This ring is beautiful. I have a 2 carat Tiffany style solitaire and I wanted some extra sparkle in a band but not so much as to detract from my solitaire. I tried a 1/4 carat, 19 stone band but returned it. I went for this 11 stone 1/2 carat Miadoro and it is perfect. I will get another later for the other side or maybe not.
This is the ring my son purchased for his new bride. The color of the diamonds was beautiful, the stones were white and clear. She loves it more than her engagement ring! The photos are always an enlargement of real life to let the buyer see the details but it is a beautiful ring and is very easy to wear every day. I highly recommend it for a wedding ring.

- Communicate to the group when equipment breaks or supplies run dry - Many of the equipment we have is old and hand me downs, just in the brink of utter self destruction. Things are bound to break and run out, if this happens, fret not, most likely not your fault. Even if it was, please email our discussion list and notify the rest of the community. We don't care who did what, but are more concerned with replacing whatever needs replacing. :)
- Have fun! - Make cool things, have fun doing it!

Son of Pop: A 40-year career retrospective of artist Floyd D. Tunson on view in Colorado
Floyd D. Tunson, Untitled, 2005.
The Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center
presents Floyd D. Tunson: Son of Pop, a career retrospective one of the most highly regarded and influential artists and art teachers in the Rocky Mountain region over the past four decades. The exhibition runs through Jan. 20.
Tunson was born in 1947 in Denver; he lives and works in Manitou Springs. He taught art at Palmer High School from 1971-2000, instructing and influencing over 5,000 students during his tenure.
This is Tunsons first major survey of his lifes work to-date addressing concepts such as cultural identity, American social history, pop culture, art history, and the beauty of pure abstraction. The exhibition centers upon the bold installations Hearts and Minds, Delta Queen, Haitian Dream Boats, and Pop-up Rodeo and is organized to reflect the confluence of Tunsons themes and media over four decades.
Tunson is a master of visual satire, but, from the moment we met, I also sensed his gift of cool deliberation. Poet Yusef Komunyakaa
The Pop in the title refers both the artists father (Curtis Oscar David) and the artists affection for Robert Rauschenberg, Jasper Johns and Andy Warhol. The exhibition reflects the scope of Tunsons career and work. He has achieved a rich and diverse body of work via media such as painting, sculpture, photography, and printmaking often combining the language of these various media in single works.
Other works in the exhibition relate to the bold installations, yet speak of their own aesthetic and conceptual concerns. Included are the Endangered series beautifully-rendered portraits of African-American youth, the Nubian series abstract dialogue with the crossroads of Africa, and the Synchro-Mesh series reflection of Tunsons travels in the American south. Tunsons Remix and Universal Bunnies series extend images and themes the artist has addressed since the 1970s with an equally critical and reverent eye.
Tunson says that from one direction he sees the terror of chaos, mans inhumanity to man, mortality, and the unknown. From another direction, the human condition seems like a magnificent, orderly evolution of extraordinary beauty and he states that the totality of his work reflects his quest to comprehend and express these forces and their interconnectedness.
"You will experience all the beauty, intensity, humor, and toughness in Tunson's work." Blake Milteer, FAC Museum Director.
Floyd looks to the challenge and provocation of some tough subjects but, perhaps necessarily, interweaves them with craftsmanship and expression of astounding beauty. Our goal has been to curate an exhibition that profoundly celebrates that dynamic relationship.

Quick Consultant: Social Media is No Substitute for Service
I must be showing my age, but as each day passes my distaste for smartphones grows. First and foremost, I believe smartphones (and now iPads) are responsible for a significant decline in social manners. It's bad enough that most teenagers lack basic social skills and table manners, but their parents are quickly catching up!
I am old fashioned enough to believe that good manners and respect for others are still important, and should play a major role in both our personal and business lives. Unfortunately, I think I am in a minority these days.
The other night Mary and I went out to an expensive, high-end steak restaurant in Tampa. Mary and I have been married 44 years this month and we continue, as always, our practice of going out to dinner on Friday nights.
Believe it or not, we always have something to talk about, even after all these years. We might talk politics, or it might be about a bumpy flight from Melbourne to Tampa, or we might end up in a discussion about some bargain cruise Mary found earlier in the day.
As much as we still had to talk about, I actually think we were the exceptions at the restaurant. Most of the people sitting around us were just too busy sending tweets and texting others rather than talking to their table companions or guests.
Sitting nearby was a table of four young adults, probably in their mid-20s. During the 45 minutes or so that I observed them (I get obsessed over this kind of stuff), three of the four adults were using smartphones. Two were texting and the third was attempting to have what appeared to be a romantic conversation with someone at the other end of the line, this despite the fact that his date was sitting across from him.
His date seemed to be practicing napkin folding, since it was obvious that was the only thing she could do since the other three at her table were using their phones. Had it been me in her place, I would have gone ballistic at some point, throwing water at everyone at the table and then walking out. "Hello there, is anybody listening? Do you want to talk to me, or are you all just too busy to even see me sitting here?"
Clandestine Messages to…
Just a few feet away sat another young couple. They made a beautiful pair, and they should have had a thousand things to talk about. Instead, they each held their smartphone in one hand, while the fingers of their other hand moved furiously over their miniature keyboards sending messages to unknown recipients.
I could only imagine the clandestine messages being exchanged. The guy: "Hi, sweetheart. As soon as I drop Carla off at her apartment, I will be over. Do you want me to pick up some wine?" The woman: "All he talks about is himself. He is so boring; I can't wait to get home. Maybe we could meet Steve and Bob at the hot tub later?"
Yes, I know lots of things have changed these past 10-15 years, and I am certainly not opposed to new technology, but just because technology is changing doesn't mean we have to change the basic rules dealing with good manners and courtesy to others. While I don't believe there is anything inherently wrong with texting or tweeting, it is simply impolite to send or read text messages or tweets while in the presence of others.
Folks can rationalize all they want, especially the younger generation, but if you stop a conversation with me to read an incoming text or you suddenly decide to post a tweet while in my presence, you are simply being discourteous and demonstrating poor manners.
Well, that's my rant and I am sticking to it!
Marketing and Sales 101
As Mary knows well, even a small incident can send me into a 20-minute rant. Although I am no longer involved in the day-to-day operations at Paragon, I can't help but hear what is going on since my office adjoins the front lobby.
Last week, I was ranting to anyone who would listen that printers in this country aren't failing because they don't have a Facebook page, don't know how to tweet, or don't maintain a presence on LinkedIn.
Printing companies are failing for far more basic reasons! In fact, Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn don't even show up on my radar as anything other than background noise. And I challenge those who disagree to give me some proof to the contrary.
The primary causes of failure in this industry have little to do with social media acumen. And the reasons for business failure remain pretty much the same as they have been for more than 25 years:
• A growing inability to consistently deliver – on a timely basis – high quality, competitively priced products, and
• Failure to monitor and react accordingly to aberrations in key financial ratios
As simple as these two causes of failure may sound, they are violated every day, to one degree or another, by thousands of companies in this industry. Below is a very small, yet good example of reason #1 above.
Two Sets of Business Cards
Mary received a call from an architectural firm in a nearby community. The caller asked how soon she could get 500 each of two full-color business cards for two gentlemen in her office. The caller said she already had the basic artwork and just need the names and titles set.
Mary told the woman we could get her a proof in two or three hours. If we received the OK that afternoon, then we could have the cards ready for her the next day – probably around noon, but sooner if necessary. By the way, not once during the conversation did the subject of price ever come up.
The customer shows up the next morning and picks up her cards. The total charge for both sets was $106 plus tax. The cards were set 10-up (five each of two names) and were produced on the KM 5000. Total click and stock cost was less than $8. However, pricing is not, and never was, the issue in this case.
The Story Behind the Story
"Now for the rest of the story," as Paul Harvey used to say. When the customer picked the cards up the next morning, she told Mary she had sent the same artwork to a nearby printer 10 days prior. When she called the printer (a day before she finally called us) and asked nicely about the status of her job, she was told the proof was not quite ready, but they would have it soon.
On hearing this story I thought to myself, "We could typeset and print the Guttenberg Bible in less than 10 days, and that would include time for proofing by the Apostles." How is it possible, I wondered, that a printer in this day and age – especially considering the fragile economy – could be so disorganized, take so long on a job, and still not have it ready?
If the above was an isolated example I wouldn't be mentioning it in this column. The reality is that this type of service, or lack thereof, is quite common in our industry. Being late on a job is bad enough, but blatantly lying about its status is an even worse offense in my book. If it isn't lying about the status of a job, it is knowingly putting a job off to the side because it lacks some detail or requires clarification prior to going into the back shop. Many employees, rather than solving these types of problems, tend instead to put them off for others to solve.
Meanwhile, these jobs just sit around in their plastic job jackets, until the inevitable happens. The customer, not hearing from the printer in the past 10 days, places a call to the printer and inquires as to its status. Sometimes the job has been sitting around so long that owners and CSR's look at each other with shoulders shrugged, as if to say, "I haven't the faintest idea about the job, do you know what she is talking about?"
Monitoring Key Financial Ratios
Earlier in this column I mentioned two causes of failure in this industry. The second reason was failure to know and react accordingly when an owner discovers that one or more key financial ratios are out of kilter with the rest of the industry.
Below are some ratios developed from a special sort of data extracted from the 15th edition of the NAQP Financial Benchmarking Study. I sorted the data using the following criteria:
• Sales between $750,000 and $2 million
• Owner's Compensation greater than 25% (these would be the top tier firms)
• Firms offering primarily digital printing vs. primarily offset
Whether a firm specialized in digital printing or it relied on offset printing as a primary source of income, the level of profitability remained almost identical, despite the fact that the distribution of key expense ratios varied significantly between the two groups. Here are some key ratios you should aspire to if you want to be a profit leader in this industry:
Digital Firms
Average Sales $1,127,066
Percent Offset Printing 21.5%
Percent Digital Printing 46.5%
Cost of Goods 20.1%
Payroll (excluding owner) 23.1%
Overhead Expenses 25.2%
Net Owner's Comp. 31.6%
Offset Printing Firms
Average Sales $1,228,080
Percent Offset Printing 42.1%
Percent Digital Printing 8.3%
Cost of Goods 25.9%
Payroll (excluding owner) 27.2%
Overhead Expenses 18.2%
Net Owner's Comp. 28.7%
My Conclusions
You can be a profit leader offering either digital printing or more traditional offset printing services. Virtually all of the differences in the key ratios noted above can be readily explained or justified based upon product concentration.
What is most important to note is that the key ratios presented above are from real-world companies in this industry, and they are indeed attainable, even in what we may term a fragile economy.
If you are curious about other ratios or other comparisons including the impact of outside sales reps or sales volume on profits I strongly suggest that you contact NAPL at www.napl.org and ask about purchasing a copy of the 15th edition of the Financial Benchmarking Study.

"Hacked by Chinese!" appeared in the text of the Code Red Worm which attacked a vulnerability in Microsoft IIS web servers in July, 2001. In some internet forums, the phrase has become a put-down synonymous with "you lose!" The meaning of the original term is obscure; perhaps a reference by the originators of the worm to a supposed Chinese-American internet war, though the origin of the worm, which infected some 250,000 computers within 9 hours according to NIPC, was never traced.

A phrase popularized after the Code Red worm appeared with this text in it. Basically nonsense. Code Red originated from China. Often used as an expression, much like pwned by n00bshop, except with less emphasis on the winner being neophyte-esque.
You lose. Hacked by Chinese!

Not a browser solution, but ...
You could use xbmc (xvba version) and the youtube plugin. This is working great for me.
Is there any way of getting fluent 1080p Youtube playback on AMD Fusion? I'm looking for a solution that preferably works on both an E-350 and E-450. I don't care about the distro or the browser. All I need is a combination that works guaranteed.
If there is, please let me know how what I need to do to accomplish this.
Thanks so much!
Not a browser solution, but ...
You could use xbmc (xvba version) and the youtube plugin. This is working great for me.
I'm assuming XBMC would use Flash to play that YouTube content, right? In that case, would it be correct to assume that it uses the generic Flash player and that that generic player leverages xvba? If that's the case, you'd say a browser like Firefox (using the generic Flash player) would benefit from xvba's hardware acceleration as well. Can anyone concur? And if so, what Flash player leverages xvba?
All is done through ffmpeg. youtube can send h264 since a long time.
Darn. Then I'm still looking for that browser solution, which I need for my use case. Thanks, fritsch.
Use Youtube's webm option instead of flash?
You mean HTML5, right? Does that play 1080p fluently? If so, what do I need? xvba? An does that work on any browser and distro?
xvba-sdk is a software development kit: http://developer.amd.com/zones/opens...s/default.aspx. You can use AMD UVD with it.
We implemented support into a special xbmc version (https://github.com/FernetMenta/xbmc). This xbmc has a youtube plugin. So nothing browser related, as stated within my first post.
In theory you could try flash 11.3 which comes with chrome 20+ (currently in the chrome beta package) while having the xvba-video wrapper installed. no idea if it is really accellerated already but in the future it should be able to use vaapi.
Pretty sure fglrx doesn't do webm hardware decoding that the youtube html5 version gives you anyway.
What I would do:
Install fglrx, mplayer with vaapi patch, the vaapi->xvba wrapper "xvba-video" and install the gecko-mediaplayer (or another player plugin with vaapi support) browser plugin.
Use firefox + greasemonkey and a script that replaces the youtube flash player with an embedded video file. Something like http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/87011 (don't know if this script works, there are many).
Play a youtube video so gecko-mediaplayer is started, then you get a config in .config/gecko-mediaplayer/gecko-mediaplayer.conf or maybe in ~/.mplayer/config in the gnome-mplayer section, no idea... Should be possible to configure it with the gui you get on right click - settings too...
Put in the config
and you should get hardware decoding for h.264.Code:vo=vaapi va=vaapi
Gives you no annotations and stuff, just the video.

Yahoo Sports wrote:Mark Jackson has agreed to a three-year, $6 million contract to coach the Golden State Warriors.
Jackson, who has no coaching experience, is one more signature hire of new owners Joe Lacob and Peter Gruber. After new executives Jerry West and Bob Myers took over in the Warriors front office, Jackson's candidacy ascended from a large group of potential head coaches.
The Warriors are dedicated to spending money to hire a strong group of assistant coaches for Jackson, sources said.
Jackson played 17 seasons as a point guard in the NBA and most recently worked as a TV analyst. He had interviewed for several coaching jobs without receiving an offer. He was in the running for the Atlanta Hawks job that went to Larry Drew a year ago, and also met with officials from the Los Angeles Clippers, New York Knicks and Philadelphia 76ers in recent years.
Jackson replaces Keith Smart, who was not retained by the Warriors at the end of the season. His contract also includes a team option for a fourth season.

Well, it's official. I know I'm not too crazy about the hire but at least the guy has been considered for other HC positions in the past so it's not completely insane.
Yeah, and as I stated earlier...he's been to the playoffs 14 out of 17 seasons so know what it means to make the playoffs. And has played for 5 hall-of-fame coaches. Probably not the best choice but I see it working out. He's a players coach which is better than not.
The Hulk is a Warriors fan.
I too think that people were a little too harsh on him before. If Jerry West likes him, he can't be bad. Not to mention that Steph Curry basically just got the keys to the Warriors team.
Better than any of the other candidates.... I'm not mad at all.
Who are these 5 hall of fame coaches? Too lazy to look myself. |
LOL...the article said:
"Jackson played for five Hall of Fame coaches in his college and pro career: Lou Carnesecca, Lenny Wilkens, Jerry Sloan, Pat Riley and Larry Brown." The Hulk is a Warriors fan.

So playing for good coach's makes you a good coach. Learning all the time. Excuse me but i would like a coach for the job, not a wannabe coach. He may be good but as a new coach he will make mistakes. Big ones. On our back. In a crucial moment when we try to change our fates. Making some bold moves maybe good. Making all your moves bold and risky is destined for failure. Why? Bold and risky moves not always succeed. Because they are bold. And risky. So we have a future GM that he will learn the job on our back. We have a coach the he will learn the job on our back. And both will have to succeed. A legendary GM who will be just an adviser and a GM that they say that he will make the decision's until the wannabe GM is ready to take his job. Fine. Boy are we an interesting team. I believe a special award must be invented just for us. The "Golden State never let you bored" award.
Mullin is the Ultimate Warrior |
i have 3 words for you... JERRY MFKEN WEST.... if we made this hire, it must be right.... oh... if you go to espns main site and click the link for the mark jackson hiring, you can hear the interviewer AND mark jackson pronouncing our owners name wrong... not a good start... lol.... From "we believe", to "we belong", to "we gon beatcho ass!"
He just going to be a coach to help Curry to be a better PG. His assistants will come up with the game plans. Well now Jerry West need to surround the roster with better players. Better wing defenders or athlete who want to work hard on the defensive end even against great talents.
here's a link to a video of mark jackson talking about what he'd do in some nba situations
http://espn.go.com/blog/truehoop/post/_ ... runch-time From "we believe", to "we belong", to "we gon beatcho ass!"
http://www.insidebayarea.com/tim-kawaka ... source=rss And have in mind that Lacob never interviewed ANY of the other candidates. Have in mind also that we are going to through an unprecedented amount of money in assistants for Jackson. If you want to make a superstar out of Curry hire him as a personal coach. Many teams did for many players. Mullin is the Ultimate Warrior |
So sad moment for GSW. why they didn't got Bagatskis? Maybe salary is to high for him..
OK, I am going to place my faith in Lacob and assume West also gave his approval for this hire right after this...
WHAT THE FU*K HAPPENED?!?!? THIS GUY HAS NEVER BEEN EVEN AN ASSISTANT COACH BEFORE!!! WHAT THE HELL DID HE SELL THEM ON IN THE INTERVIEW PROCESS? "I'VE WATCHED A LOT OF BASKETBALL SINCE I GOT THRU PLAYING?" HOLY SH*T!!! ok. I'm back now. Got to believe he has a plan and that a lot of people are convinced he can do it. |

I was planning on ordering my Castle Grayskull this weekend but now I'm a little concerned after reading Scotts Q&A. I love the way the Castle looks in the blueprints. Now he's saying it will lean more towards the prototype in the actual sculpt. That's not the Castle Grayskull I remember. The reason the casual fans like myself love this line is because it reminds them of their childhood toys. I imagine the only fans that want the Castle to look like the prototype would be the hardcore fans. I never even saw what the proto looked like till last week. If I'm putting down $250 I don't want to hear that the look of the Castle may not be what is being shown. Do most fans here prefer the proto to how it looks in the blueprints? Just curious.
"A knight is sworn to valor. His heart knows only virtue. His blade defends the helpless. His word speaks only truth. His wrath undoes the wicked."
A good warning to listen to.
Mattel won't greenlight this without the minimum.
PLEASE consider pre-ordering if your on the fence about this!
It's Castle Grayskull. Made by the Four Horsemen! these guys are passionate about this castle to say the least!!!
It's going to be amazing when you see it in 3D.
This is the moment to order your very own Castle Grayskull for what is easily the Best MotU line there has ever been and possibly ever will be!
This is what He-Man and Skeletor are fighting over for crying out loud! You don't want He-Man to go without a home do you?

I ment to ask him if they could find a way to make the Grayskull stands compatible with the Castle in some way. Oh well, maybe next time.
I mean, I'm still gonna get it... but I am not a fan of the rejected prototype version. I don't mind a few 'nods' or inspirations... but I hope they don't go TOO crazy.
Frankly between the minaret and that ledge I hate so much... I think we have ENOUGH proto nods.
I want the 'ULTIMATE' castle. Give it a few elements from all the following IN THIS ORDER.
1) Box art
2)Vintage Toy
Want so badly!
Hmm, I all-capped the above for emphasis, but seems the org won't allow. Please read it as if it were in all-caps the way nature intended.

Despite the individual fan's taste in eras, isn't A Castle Grayskull being represented better than NO Castle Grayskull at all?

My ideal Castle would be a pure Filmation Castle with Bridge and all. But I trust the Horsemen, this is their dream project, and I know it will be great. Who knows, during a movie year, the Horsemen may be forced to do a movie Grayskull, or worse yet, the Horsemen may not be doing it at all.
So the way I see it, this is my last chance to get a full blown, heart poured into Castle from Scott and the Horsemen who will have the best from vintage, Filmation and 200x put into it, it's the ultimate Grayskull, so I'm buying it no matter what. I have the past two castles, so I need this one to complete my collection.
...I just want it made.... I [REALLY] want a MOTUC Castle Grayskull!!

For the record, the prototype version wasn't rejected based on its look, otherwise we wouldn't have seen it drawn in the mini comics or elements of it featured on packaging artwork.
It was streamlined and chopped down for production ease.
The prototype's look is precisely what the creators wanted it to look like.
I'm glad to hear they're finally going to get something that more closely matches their vision. (Provided we meet the minimum.)

Thank you for saying this. The prototype is just a more elaborate version of the vintage toy.
The classics line has been about many things, but one of the main things is making figures look they way they should have in the 80s, but couldn't b/c of limitations. The same is true for the castle. And it will rock.
Awesome mockup!
Mark Taylor's prototype wasn't rejected. The sculpt was altered to make the castle easier to produce and package.
I for one am happy that TG and the Horsemen chose the prototype to base Castle Grayskull on. And I hope that they still find a way to include the moat / chasm playmat.

I should learn to read other people's posts first before reacting. Well said, sir !!!
"A knight is sworn to valor. His heart knows only virtue. His blade defends the helpless. His word speaks only truth. His wrath undoes the wicked."
Can someone post a pic of the prototype Castle Grayskull? I don't remember where I saw it. I'm trying to convince myself that I'll be happy with the Castle even if looks more like the prototype than the original toy and box art. I'm on the fence and I need a push. Thanks.
"A knight is sworn to valor. His heart knows only virtue. His blade defends the helpless. His word speaks only truth. His wrath undoes the wicked."
Thank you guys for posting the prototype pics. It has a creepier look to it than proposed classics grayskull. That's not a bad thing. The small jawbridge looks goofy but it would obviously be bigger. It's the protruding mouth that bugs me the most though. I'll assume that it won't stick out quite that far in the final design. I might as well preorder it. I'm sure I'll have no trouble selling it if I end up being disappointed with it. The wife already gave me her blessing so I should take advantage of that. Off to Matty Collector I go.
Thanks so much for the Q&A, I'm re-hyped!!! I'm pretty happy with most of the answers (the rotating wall-door to the legendary ledge is awesome) and I love the prototype, so I can't wait for it!
Come on, everyone! Let's get this done!
Help a homeless Evil Warrior! Build a Snake Mountain today!
Good decision to go for a more prototype look. It really is a better look than the original playset, IMO. Of course, to me, the best Grayskull design will always be Filmation. But the prototype look has always been a close second.

That's too bad about the Wind Raider attachment. If it doesn't go on top, I'll probably not buy a WR. Still on board for the castle, but I was hoping for this.
Mr favorite version of Castle Grayskull is the box-art. The design they are showing for Classics looks very similar to it, I hope the final isn't changed too much.

Tuesday, May 1, 2012 - Newark, Del.
Playing in its annual instate rivalry game, the Wilmington University baseball team dropped a 6-2 decision to NCAA Division I rival University of Delaware on Tuesday night at Bob Hannah Stadium.
The loss snapped a string of three consecutive victories for the Wildcats (28-16 overall) over its cross town rival and a two game win streak overall. Delaware (21-22) broke a 2-2 tie in the fifth inning to snap a four game losing streak.
Wilmington tied the game with a single run in the top of the fifth, but Delaware responded with a run in the home half of the inning and tacked on runs in the seventh and eighth inning while its three relievers did not allow a run in the final four innings to take the game.
Wildcat starter Ryan Lally allowed a run on two hits in the first inning but shut down the Blue Hens in the next two innings to give the offense a chance.
The bats tied the game in the top of the third inning, capitalizing on a hit-by-pitch in the inning by Delaware starter Dan Gatto. With one out, Kyle Hitchens took a pitch to put a runner on. BJ Janney then took the first pitch her saw to right field, passed Nick Ferdinand and to the warning track. Once the ball got past Ferdinand, Hitchens was able to score from first, sliding home in front of the throw for the 1-1 tie.
After Delaware took a 2-1 lead with a single run in the bottom of the fourth, the Wildcats responded in their next at-bat to re-lock the game in the top of the fifth.
With two outs and the bases empty, Janney worked a walk to start the two-out rally. Joe Harbach chopped one through the right side to put runners on first and third. As Gatto came set with Mike Godwin at the plate, Harbach took off for second, looking to draw a throw. Gatto stepped off and put Harbach in a run-down, but Janney raced home as the throw to the plate was wide for the 2-2 tie.
But the Blue Hens responded with a run of their own in the bottom of the fifth to take the lead for good. A leadoff walk and a failed pickoff attempt put a runner on third with no outs in the inning. After Lally got one out on a foul pop up, Delaware's Alex Maruri lofted one to deep left field, scoring DJ Long from third on the sacrifice fly. The Blue Hens would not relinquish the lead.
Delaware added insurance runs in seventh and two more in the eight to come to the final score of 6-2.
Wilmington left two runners on base in the top of the sixth inning and hit into a pair of double plays in the seventh and eighth innings to kill one-out rallies in each frame.
The Wildcats got two runners on with one out in the top of the ninth inning on a leadoff walk and an infield single by Brendan Fallers, but Blue Hen closer Steve Richter got back-to-back strikeouts to end the game.
Janney led the Wildcats with two hits, including his double in the third. Harbach, Godwin, Frank Samluk, Brandon Payne and Fallers all picked up one hit apiece for Wilmington, rounding out the team with seven hits in the game.
Lally tossed 5.1 innings with one strikeout, but gave up three runs (two earned) on five hits. He was saddled with the loss, dropping him to 3-4 overall on the season. Gatto picked up the win for the Blue Hens as he threw five innings, striking out three while allowing two unearned runs on three hits.
Today was the final nonconference game of the season for the Wildcats, as they finish up the out-of-conference games with a 15-10 overall record for the 2012 season.
Wilmington has one game remaining on its regular season schedule and the Wildcats control their own destiny in the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference standings with earning the CACC Tournament First Round bye. The Wildcats face Philadelphia on the road tomorrow, and a win will keep them in second heading into the tournament starting next week. The first pitch is slated for 3:00 p.m. in Philadelphia.

QLtbox �ap proclamation By Governor Samuel V. Stewart 3N FURTHERANCE of the idea that impelled the framers of our Statutes in this regard, and to more firmly fix that idea in the Slife of our State, I, S. V. Stewart, as Governor of the State of Montana, do hereby designate and set apart Tuesday, the ninth day of May, 1916, as Arbor Day. Of itself a tree, a shrub, a vine or a flower may be an insignificant thing, and yet it is a part of the great scheme of Nature�something given by an all-wise Creator to man for his use and enjoyment and the enrichment of his life. Without these things to minister to the finer side of man, existence would be a drab affair indeed, and it is well for us as a people to devote at least one day in each year to serious contemplation of the Arbor Day idea and its full significance. Let each of us on this day perform some act that will not only give us large returns in satisfaction during our lives, but will be a joy to those of future generations. And I do further recommend that in all of our public schools, exercises appropriate to the occasion be held, to the end that the pupils may be made to know and appreciate the full value of tree-planting in the beautifying of hofcie, public grounds and highways. Let all Montana's citizens make of this an Arbor Day indeed. IN WITNESS WHEREOF I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the State to be affixed. Done at Helena, the Capital, this, the thirty-first day of March, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and sixteen, and of the independence of the United States of America the one hundred fortieth. S. V. STEWART By the Governor, A. M. ALDERSON, Secretary of State. PARMLY CALLINGS LIBRARY

World Heritage, a certification granted by UNESCO.
The Monastery of El Escorial was the first example of the architectural style which came to be known as Herrerian after its creator, Juan de Herrera. It holds the designation of World Heritage site.
Philip II used this Royal Site for his family pantheon. Construction work began in 1563 under Juan de Toledo, and on his death was continued by Juan de Herrera, who completed the building in 1584. It is built in granite and divided into three areas. The central area is the Kings' Courtyard. There is a tower at each of its four corners measuring 55 metres, each crowned by a metal sphere. The compound includes the Ministries, Casa de los Oficios artisans' houses, the Compaña –where the company was quartered–, and the apartments of the Infantes and Queen, all connected via arches. The church is laid out in the shape of a Greek cross and there are funerary monuments to Charles V and Philip II in the main chapel. The library is also of particular interest. It is on the second floor of the west wing, and contains close to 45,000 documents from the 15th and 16th centuries. It was designated a Historic-Artistic site in 1971 and received the World Heritage designation in 1984. The building was designed by Juan de Herrera and gave rise to an architectural style known as Herrerian. It is a substantial construction, as can be seen from its 15 cloisters, 13 oratories, 86 staircases, 88 fountains, more than 1,600 paintings, nine towers and 73 sculptures.

Are there really people who set up Debian without changing any of the defaults first?
Phoronix: Debian Switches Back To GNOME From Xfce
Debian will no longer be defaulting to the Xfce desktop but they have returned to using the GNOME desktop as the default...
Are there really people who set up Debian without changing any of the defaults first?
I am glad to be in community with those idiots
Boooo...xfce is a sane default. Gnome is not.
Also, no one gives a damn what desktop Linus uses. He seems more finicky and indecisive about his desktop than my 3 year old niece picking out what she wants for lunch.
You should better correct your remark about Linus' DE switch as it is incorrect. Michael, read your own links.
Last edited by genstorm; 11-10-2012 at 05:33 AM.
I didn't expect this to be reported here, so nice surprise!
I do expect Debian to switch the default soon again, as Debian runs on way more platforms than GNOME 3 will be able to properly run on (the no fallback mode).
I don't mind using a 3D-accelerated GPU driver.
It's just that I find GNOME Shell (and Unity) to be absolutely unusable mess.
It gets in the way and requires too many clicks.
I swear Linus goes through Desktop Environments like Donny Osmond goes through wives.

After active treatment is complete, you will begin a plan for follow-up care. This will involve less frequent visits to the oncology team, which for many can be a very scary time. The weekly or monthly visits to the oncologist are reassuring; someone is checking on things and giving you the thumbs up. Survivors are often surprised by their emotional reaction at this time. They anticipate jumping for joy and throwing survival parties, and instead find themselves crying in the parking lot after their last treatment, feeling vulnerable in unexpected ways. Some find it disconcerting that they are no longer receiving active treatment to attack rogue cancer cells; furthermore, their treatment team is no longer giving them much needed daily or weekly support. Early cancer survivors can feel fear, sadness, anger, isolation and grief. These feelings can co-exist with a sense of relief, gratitude, and an enhanced sense of capacity to face adversity.
Completion of therapy is a time when friends and family may say, "Congratulations" and "You must be glad to be done", though you may be feeling uncertain about this milestone. Friends, family and even the oncology team can be caught off guard by the complicated emotions you are experiencing. They may not realize at these emotions are common and even expected, which may make you feel even more isolated. You aren't alone. These are common reactions and here are a few tips to help you deal with it.
For starters, be assured that your oncology team is always there if concerns arise. Protocols for follow-up care have been developed to follow each person in the best way. This plan varies for every type of cancer, and may involve periodic blood work, radiology scans and tests, and physical exams. You may only see the oncology team once or twice a year, but they are always a phone call away.
You will need to settle in to your "new normal". Friends and family will say it must be nice to be getting back to normal. But as any cancer survivor will tell you, things have changed, and so has the definition of "normal". Many survivors say they look at life differently: they don't take things for granted, and don't sweat the small stuff. A cancer diagnosis changes you as a person, something people around you may not fully understand. It may be helpful to join a group of survivors, either formally (in a support group) or informally (gather a few folks you have met along the way). Email and the Internet have created a wonderful support for all sorts of concerns, and survivorship is no different. The American Cancer Society (800-ACS-2345) or LIVESTRONG Navigation Services can help you find support groups in your area. CancerCare can provide free professional counseling and support groups over the phone or online. Visit the Association of Cancer Online Resources to find an email group that fits your needs or search the Internet for cancer survivor support. Many cancer centers and advocacy organizations offer support groups for survivors to address their specific concerns after therapy. No one understands this time better than someone who has been there, and this support can be very valuable.
Cancer survivors face daunting tasks: finding meaning in illness, restoring a sense of identity and purpose, and coping with uncertainty. How one begins to meet these challenges is unique to each survivor. For some, recovery from the trauma of cancer and its treatment can be made more difficult by the late medical complications of past treatment, which can affect quality of life. Remind yourself of the strength you demonstrated in having met the challenges of cancer treatment. Setting new goals and turning to spirituality are possible strategies for coping. Using artistic expression such as painting and writing can be helpful tools to work through your emotions. When emotions become too overwhelming, it may be helpful to seek a referral to a mental health professional. Signs of persistent depression and anxiety interfering with sleep and daytime function, hopelessness, and suicidal thinking are indicators that professional help is needed. Ask your oncologist to recommend a psychological professional, or visit the American Psychosocial Oncology Society (or toll-free 866-276-7443) to find a mental health professional familiar with cancer-related distress in your area.
Completing treatment can also present other challenges. Your family or employer may expect things to pick up where they left off. Resuming your previous activities may not be as easy as it sounds. Many survivors suffer from fatigue or limited energy for months, or even years, after therapy. The time it takes to get over this fatigue varies greatly depending on the treatment received, the type of cancer, how fatigue affected you during treatment, and how well you can balance the demands on your time. Some people describe their energy as a bowl of candy. You start the morning with a full bowl, and every task takes one or two candies. You will need to continue to balance and prioritize your time and energy. Save a few candies for when you have something special to do in the evening. You will find that your bowl of candy will continue to get bigger every day. Using this metaphor will help you mentally manage your time and energy.
The issues we have discussed thus far will generally resolve, or at least improve, in the months following treatment. But there are many issues that can affect survivors in the long term, including health issues related to treatment, as well as financial (employment and insurance) and personal (fertility, sexuality and relationship) issues.
While many patients are told about the long-term health effects of treatment before starting, they often don't recall or didn't concern themselves with them at that time. This is understandable, because when you're presented with treatment options to save your life, thinking about what could happen ten or twenty years down the road isn't as much of a priority. So what to do now? Learn what your risks are based on the treatment you received, learn what you can do to prevent them, if possible, and learn how to monitor for them. Start by developing a survivorship plan of care. Some survivors may also benefit from a visit to a survivorship clinic. These clinics review your treatment history and develop recommendations for you and your primary care team based on your personal risks. Contact cancer centers in your area to see if they have a survivor's clinic or check our listing of survivorship clinics.
There are many resources to help survivors, but it can take some homework to find what you need.
