The Prodigal Son, Large Model (L'Enfant prodigue, grand modèle)
Begun in 1880 as a commission, Rodin worked on The Gates of Hell until his death in 1917. By the late 1880s, the commission had fallen through, allowing him to develop his vision without external deadlines or practical constraints. Figures intended for the Gates were made and shown separately, as they are seen here, and no definitive cast of the overall composition was realized during Rodin's lifetime. Posthumous casts of the Gates are based on scholarly reconstructions.

The Biosynthesis and Genetic Encoding of Pyrrolysine, an Amino Acid Essential for Methanogenesis from Methylamines
The study of methanogenic Archaea has led to the discovery of many unusual enzymes, cofactors, and metabolites. Of these, a novel genetically encoded amino acid was perhaps the most unusual. Methanogens can utilize various methylamines as methane sources. Elucidation of these pathways led to the description of the methyltransferases that initiate methanogensis from different methylamines. Each type of methylamine methyltransferase gene contains an in-frame amber stop codon which is decoded as pyrrolysine. Pyrrolysine can be added to the genetic code of a naïve organism upon transformation with the five pyl gene. The pyl gene products function in the biosynthesis and the genetic encoding of pyrrolysine. Entrance to the genetic code is granted by the pylS and pylT genes. PylS is an aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase specific for pyrrolysine that charges the amber decoding tRNAPyl, encoded by pylT. The remaining Pyl proteins are capable of synthesizing the ring and acyl chain of pyrrolysine from two lysines. PylB is a novel Radical SAM lysine mutase, which provides the precursor that will form the distinctive pyrroline ring of pyrrolysine by rearranging the skeleton of lysine, which is joined by PylC to another lysine before dehydrogenation by PylD results in pyrrolysine, which is co-translationally inserted into the growing methylamine methyltransferase. Upon deletion of pylT, methanogenesis from methylamine is no longer carried out by methanogens.
The Function and Family Relationships of Pyrrolysine, a "One Carbon" Amino Acid
Pyrrolysine is the 22nd genetically encoded amino acid to be discovered. It is found in three non-homologous families of methylamine methyltransferases, and these enzymes present the major rationale for why pyrrolysine has joined the small group of genetically encoded amino acids. The proposed function of pyrrolysine is to provide a means to activate methylamines for transfer to corrinoid proteins in the initial reactions of methanogenesis. Pyrrolysine's role as a catalytic amino acid necessary for methyl transfer is supported by both genetic and biochemical data, as well as the structures of two families of methylamine methyltransferases. We gained new insight into the function and evolutionary history of pyrrolysine by examining homologs of methylamine methyltransferases that naturally lack pyrrolysine, and which are encoded in a large number of genomes. We recently described the enzymatic activity of one such "non-Pyl" protein family. The novel function of this protein family provides understanding of how evolution to include pyrrolysine would impart new functionality to an already existing family of methyltransferases.
BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH – Joseph Adrian Krzycki
As an NSF pre-doctoral fellow, Krzycki did seminal work on the major route found in nature for methane formation by microbes called methanogens. As a postdoc, he identified a methanogen DNA binding protein that was later found to be related to histone proteins that organize human genes. As a professor, he focused on understanding routes for methane formation from abundant methylated compounds found in natural environments. His lab has identified the proteins and genes essential for methane formation from five such substrates. They found some genes were interrupted by apparent "stop" signals, an observation which led to discovery of the 22nd genetically encoded amino acid, pyrrolysine. Pyrrolysine was recognized by Discover magazine as among the top discoveries of 2002. The Krzycki lab showed that methanogenesis from nitrogenous compounds required genetic code expansion to include pyrrolysine, and that this was mediated by as few as five genes. These five genes can reprogram the genetic code of E. coli to include pyrrolysine. Recently, the Krzycki lab described the complete route of pyrrolysine biosynthesis from the simpler amino acid, lysine. Dr. Krzycki has been named a Distinguished Scholar of the Ohio State University and is a member of the American Academy of Microbiology. He recently delivered the Division K Lecture at the 2012 Annual Meeting of the American Society for Microbiology.

Over the years we've been involved with a number of Gen III and IV engine builds and for longtime readers, you may even recognize the current LS2 that we've recently rebuilt. If so, then you'll know that this will be the third incarnation since the January '07 issue.
Back then we had a friendly in-house competition to find out how a 402ci LS2 would fare against a conventional 406ci small-block ("Old School Meets New," page 20). All said and done, both engines generated a tick over 580 horsepower with costs being nearly identical; the biggest difference was in how docile the Gen IV was in comparison to the traditional mill. Either way, there was no clear-cut winner; instead it went to show that fairly aggressive LS engines could be built more attuned for the street at a very reasonable price.
Just under two years later, we reintroduced our mill with a completely different top end package and were able to push the power levels even higher by eclipsing the 600hp barrier with a solid-roller Comp camshaft and a set of Trick Flow 235cc cathedral port cylinder heads ("Thumper," Dec. '08, page 28). While those numbers were plenty to write home about, we went on to try the then new Zex Perimeter plate; the net results showed 780 hp and 801 lb-ft of torque!
With another year down the road, we decided to take our 402ci to the next level. Rather than topping it off with a supercharger, we wanted to see the results to be had in a naturally aspirated configuration. We'll tell you up front that this is not a street-friendly powerplant, instead it's heavily geared for the weekend dragstrip jockey with a thirst for high-test fuel.
For the third round, we maintained a mostly similar package, only we opted for maximum compression by utilizing a set of AutoTec pistons and rings, a larger valve package by stepping up to a set of 2.10-inch on the intake side over the previous 2.08-inch valves, and made way for one of the largest Comp solid-rollers we've ever seen for an LS engine with all the supporting valvetrain, including robust springs and their shaft-mount-style rockers. For induction duties, we swapped the Edelbrock Victor Jr. manifold for a much larger Super Victor and topped it off with Quick Fuel Technology's latest three-circuit 1,050-cfm carburetor with a 4150-style base. We even borrowed a Peterson Fluid Systems oil/vacuum pump setup in order to make sure we would extrapolate every bit of power from this combination.
At the heart of our project, the credit for this creation goes to Rocco Acerrio from A.R.E. Performance & Machine in Simi Valley, California. This is a one-stop shop that offers everything from detailed machining to complete engine assembly. We're absolutely pleased with his work and if you're looking to build something similar; he's certainly the man to get the job handled.
If you thought the previous combos were something, you're gonna get a kick out of this one. For now, we're going to introduce the build, but be sure to keep an eye for the results in an upcoming issue as we put it to the test at Westech Performance in Mira Loma, California.

Bread is a staple food prepared by baking a dough of flour and water. It may be leavened or unleavened. Salt, fat and a leavening agent such as yeast are common ingredients, though breads may contain a range of other ingredients: milk, egg, sugar, spice, fruit (such as raisins), vegetables (such as onion), nuts (such as walnuts) or seeds (such as poppy seeds). Bread is one of the oldest prepared foods, dating back to the Neolithic era. The development of leavened bread can probably also be traced to prehistoric times.
Fresh bread is prized for its taste, aroma and texture. Retaining its freshness is important to keep it appetizing. Bread that has stiffened or dried past its prime is said to be stale. Modern bread is sometimes wrapped in paper or plastic film, or stored in an airtight container such as a breadbox to keep it fresh longer. Bread that is kept in warm, moist environments is prone to the growth of mold. Bread kept at low temperatures, for example, in a refrigerator, will develop mold growth more slowly than bread kept at room temperature. However, unwrapped bread kept in a typical household refrigerator will turn stale quickly due to the low humidity of the air.
The inner, soft part of bread is known to bakers and other culinary professionals as the crumb, which is not to be confused with small bits of bread that often fall off, called crumbs. The outer hard portion of bread is called the crust.
Bread is one of the oldest prepared foods, dating back to the Neolithic era. The first breads produced were probably cooked versions of a grain-paste, made from ground cereal grains and water, and may have been developed by accidental cooking or deliberate experimentation with water and grain flour. Descendants of these early breads are still commonly made from various grains worldwide, including the Iranian (Persian) lavashs, tabuns, sangaks, Mexican tortilla, Indian chapatis, rotis and naans, Scottish oatcake, North American jonnycake, Middle Eastern pita, and Ethiopian injera. The basic flat breads of this type also formed a staple in the diet of many early civilizations with the Sumerians eating a type of barley flat cake, and the 12th century BC Egyptians being able to purchase a flat bread called ta from stalls in the village streets.
The development of leavened bread can probably also be traced to prehistoric times. Yeast spores occur everywhere, including the surface of cereal grains, so any dough left to rest will become naturally leavened. Although leavening is likely of prehistoric origin, the earliest archaeological evidence is from ancient Egypt. Scanning electron microscopy has detected yeast cells in some ancient Egyptian loaves. However, ancient Egyptian bread was made from emmer wheat and has a dense crumb. In cases where yeast cells are not visible, it is difficult, by visual examination, to determine whether the bread was leavened. As a result, the extent to which bread was leavened in ancient Egypt remains uncertain.
There were multiple sources of leavening available for early bread. Airborne yeasts could be harnessed by leaving uncooked dough exposed to air for some time before cooking. Pliny the Elder reported that the Gauls and Iberians used the foam skimmed from beer to produce "a lighter kind of bread than other peoples." Parts of the ancient world that drank wine instead of beer used a paste composed of grape juice and flour that was allowed to begin fermenting, or wheat bran steeped in wine, as a source for yeast. The most common source of leavening however was to retain a piece of dough from the previous day to utilize as a form of sourdough starter.
Even within antiquity there was a wide variety of breads available. In the Deipnosophistae, the Greek author Athenaeus describes some of the breads, cakes, cookies, and pastries available in the Classical world. Among the breads mentioned are griddle cakes, honey-and-oil bread, mushroom shaped loaves covered in poppy seeds, and the military specialty of rolls baked on a spit. The type and quality of flour used to produce bread could also vary as noted by Diphilus when he declared "bread made of wheat, as compared with that made of barley, is more nourishing, more digestible, and in every way superior." In order of merit, the bread made from refined [thoroughly sieved] flour comes first, after that bread from ordinary wheat, and then the unbolted, made of flour that has not been sifted.
Within medieval Europe bread served not only as a staple food but also as part of the table service. In the standard table setting of the day the trencher, a piece of stale bread roughly 6 inches by 4 inches (15 cm by 10 cm), served as an absorbent plate. At the completion of a meal the trencher could then be eaten, given to the poor, or fed to the dogs. It was not until the fifteenth century that trenchers made of wood started to replace the bread variety.
Otto Frederick Rohwedder is considered to be the father of sliced bread. In 1912 Rohwedder started work on inventing a machine that sliced bread, but bakeries were reluctant to use it since they were concerned the sliced bread would go stale. It was not until 1928, when Rohwedder invented a machine that both sliced and wrapped the bread, that sliced bread caught on. A bakery in Chillicothe, Missouri was the first to use this machine to produce sliced bread.
For generations, white bread was the preferred bread of the rich while the poor ate dark bread. However, in most western societies, the connotations reversed in the late 20th century with dark (whole grain) bread becoming preferred as having superior nutritional value while white bread became associated with lower-class ignorance of nutrition.
Another major advance happened in 1961 with the development of the Chorleywood Bread Process which used the intense mechanical working of dough to dramatically reduce the fermentation period and the time taken to produce a loaf. This process is now widely used around the world in large factories.
More recently, and especially in smaller retail bakeries, chemical additives are used that both speed up mixing time and reduce necessary fermentation time, so that a batch of bread may be mixed, made up, risen, and baked in less than 3 hours. Dough that does not require fermentation because of chemical additives is called "no-time bread" by commercial bakers. Common additives include reducing agents such as L-cysteine or sodium metabisulfite, and oxidants such as potassium bromate or ascorbic acid. Often these chemicals are added to dough in the form of a prepackaged base, which also contains most or all of the dough's non-flour ingredients. Using bases and sophisticated chemistry, commercial bakers have made possible the fresh production of imitation artisan and sourdough breads by semi-skilled labor working in smaller shops.
Recently, domestic breadmakers that automate the process of making bread are becoming popular in the home.
The political significance of bread is considerable. In Britain in the nineteenth century the inflated price of bread due to the Corn Laws caused major political and social divisions, and was central to debates over free trade and protectionism. The Assize of Bread and Ale in the thirteenth century showed the importance of bread in medieval times by setting heavy punishments for short-changing bakers, and bread appeared in Magna Carta a half-century earlier.
In contrast, in much of Asia rice is much more prominent as a staple and much of the connotations of bread as a cultural symbol of basic necessities are replaced by rice. To the more conservative elderly generations of Chinese in southern China, the appearance of rice on the table is a fundamental constituent of a meal. Meals made of bread, such as a sandwich, however substantial they may be, are considered as only light snacks in the eyes of the elderly generation.
Flour is always 100%, and the rest of the ingredients are a percent of that amount by weight. Common table bread in the U.S. uses approximately 50% water, resulting in a finely-textured, light, bread. Most artisan bread formulas contain anywhere from 60 to 75% water. In yeast breads, the higher water percentages result in more CO2 bubbles, and a coarser bread crumb. One pound (~ 450 g) of flour will yield a standard loaf of bread, or two French loaves.
Calcium propionate is commonly added by commercial bakeries to retard the growth of molds.
The quantity and quality of the proteins contained in the flour serve as the best indicator of the quality of the bread dough and the finished bread. While bread can be made from all-purpose wheat flour, for quality bread a specialty bread flour, containing more protein, is recommended.
Wheat flour in addition to its starch contains three water-soluble protein groups, albumin, globulin, proteoses, and two non-water soluble protein groups, glutenin and gliadin. When flour is mixed with water the water-soluble proteins dissolve, leaving the glutenin and gliadin to form the structure of the resulting dough. When worked by kneading, the glutenin forms strands of long thin chainlike molecules while the shorter gliadin forms bridges between the strands of glutenin. The resulting networks of strands produced by these two proteins is known as gluten. Gluten development improves if the dough is allowed to autolyse.
Chemically-leavened breads are called quick breads and soda breads. This technique is commonly used to make muffins, pancakes, American-style biscuits and sweet breads such as banana bread.
Both the baker's yeast and the sourdough method of baking bread follow the same pattern. Water is mixed with flour, salt and the leavening agent (baker's yeast or sourdough starter). Other additions (spices, herbs, fats, seeds, fruit, etc.) are not necessary to bake bread, but often used. The mixed dough is then allowed to rise one or more times (a longer rising time results in more flavor, so bakers often punch down the dough and let it rise again), then loaves are formed and (after an optional final rising time) the bread is baked in an oven.
Many breads are made from a straight dough, which means that all of the ingredients are combined in one step, and the dough baked after the rising time. Alternatively, dough can be made using a pre-ferment, when some of the flour, water, and the leavening are combined a day or so ahead of baking, and allowed to ferment overnight. On the day of the baking, the rest of the ingredients are added, and the rest of the process is the same as that for straight dough. This produces a more flavorful bread with better texture. Many bakers see the starter method as a compromise between the highly reliable results of baker's yeast, and the flavor/complexity of a longer fermentation. It also allows the baker to use only a minimal amount of baker's yeast, which was scarce and expensive when it first became available. Most yeasted preferments fall into one of three categories: poolish or pouliche, a loose-textured mixture composed of roughly equal amounts of flour and water (by weight); biga a stiff mixture with a higher proportion of flour; and pâte fermentée, which is simply a portion of dough reserved from a previous batch. Sourdough (also known as levain or "natural leaven") takes it a step further, creating a pre-ferment with flour and water that propagates naturally occurring yeast and bacteria (usually Saccharomyces exiguus, which is more acid-tolerant than S. cerevisiae, and various species of Lactobacillus.)
The sour taste of sourdoughs actually comes not from the yeast, but from a lactobacillus, with which the yeast lives in symbiosis. The lactobacillus feeds on the byproducts of the yeast fermentation, and in turn makes the culture go sour by excreting lactic acid, which protects it from spoiling (since most microbes are unable to survive in an acid environment). All yeast-leavened breads used to be sourdoughs, and the leavening process was not understood until the 19th century, when with the advance of microscopes, scientists were able to discover the microbes that make the dough rise. Since then, strains of yeast have been selected and cultured mainly for reliability and quickness of fermentation. Billions of cells of these strains are then packaged and marketed as "Baker's Yeast". Bread made with baker's yeast is not sour because of the absence of the lactobacillus. Bakers around the world quickly embraced baker's yeast for it made baking simple and so allowed for more flexibility in the bakery's operations. It made baking quick as well, allowing bakeries to make fresh bread from scratch as often as three times a day. While European bakeries kept producing sourdough breads, in the U.S., sourdough baking was widely replaced by baker's yeast, and only recently has that country (or parts of it, at least) seen the rebirth of sour-vinegar dough in artisan bakeries. According to Alton Brown, host of Food Network's "Good Eats" television show, each region of the world has different strains of lactobacillus, hence the flavor of the bread made from home starters is unique. The San Francisco Bay Area is especially famous for its sourdough breads.
Sourdough breads are most often made with a sourdough starter (not to be confused with the starter method discussed above). A sourdough starter is a culture of yeast and lactobacillus. It is essentially a dough-like or pancake-like flour/water mixture in which the yeast and lactobacilli live. A starter can be maintained indefinitely by periodically discarding a part of it and refreshing it by adding fresh flour and water. (When refrigerated, a starter can go weeks without needing to be fed.) There are starters owned by bakeries and families that are several human generations old, much revered for creating a special taste or texture. Starters can be obtained by taking a piece of another starter and growing it, or they can be made from scratch. There are hobbyist groups on the web who will send their starter for a stamped, self-addressed envelope, and there are even mailorder companies that sell different starters from all over the world. An acquired starter has the advantage to be more proven and established (stable and reliable, resisting spoiling and behaving predictably) than from-scratch starters.
There are other ways of sourdough baking and culture maintenance. A more traditional one is the process that was followed by peasant families throughout Europe in past centuries. The family (usually the woman was in charge of breadmaking) would bake on a fixed schedule, perhaps once a week. The starter was saved from the previous week's dough. The starter was mixed with the new ingredients, the dough was left to rise, then a piece of it was saved (to be the starter for next week's bread). The rest was formed into loaves which were marked with the family sign (this is where today's decorative slashing of bread loaves originates from), and taken to the communal oven to bake. These communal ovens over time evolved into what are known today as bakeries, when certain people specialized in bread baking, and with time enhanced the process so far as to be able to mass produce cheap bread for everyone in the world.
Steam leavening happens regardless of the rising agents (soda powder, yeast, baking-powder, sour dough, egg snow…)
It is actually the main factor in the rise of bread once it has been put in the oven. CO2 generation, on its own, is too small to account for the rise. Heat kills bacteria or yeast at an early stage, so the CO2 generation is stopped.
There are many variations on the basic recipe of bread, including pizza, chapatis, tortillas, baguettes, brioche, pitas, lavash, biscuits, pretzels, naan, bagels, puris, and many other variations.

Amazing place to call home! - 4/14/2015
Wilmington, NC is a truly awesome place to live! Having lived here for over 11 years now, I'm pretty sure I'm never leaving :)
Since Wilmington is a peninsula - it's surrounded by water! We have the Cape Fear River and historic downtown on one side while we have intracoastal waterway and the ocean of Wrightsville, Carolina and Kure beaches. The weather is pleasant here too - with all 4 seasons - albeit the winter is pleasantly short with barely a dusting of snow!

Neighborhoods of Wilmington - 8/21/2014
I'm a 65 y.o. male from NJ, about to retire and am considering Wilmington NC in which to retire. Made two trips there and am still impressed. I'm married, but wife might stay in NJ a while longer for business reasons. I need advice on neighborhoods, however. Whether it's homes, apartments or condos. One big goal in retirement is to reconnect with people. I poured myself into my career, in order to become financially secure, but I've lost all/most friends along the way. In retirement, I want to volunteer, maybe get a "small" job and make new friends. I don't want a development where half the people are UNC students and the other half are young, working families. I don't hate golf, but I'm not an avid golfer at this point. Downtown appeals, but limited choices of housing. Might consider the beach, so that I could live there in the off-season and rent out in the summer, but I don't want a ghost town existence. Anyone have some good advice?[Comment on this Posting]
Bashing Wilmington North Carolina is a sport for m - 7/5/2014
I don't get all the negativity about Wilmington. Perhaps it's to keep more people from moving here and clogging up the roads? I just moved here from a very large city in the Northeast and I'm impressed by the variety of live music here, including outdoor concerts at Greenfield Lake Amphitheater, that for 2014 includes Travis Tritt, Government Mule, Dweezel Zappa, Bruce Hornsby and more, plus film and theater at Thalian Hall, plus Art Garfunkel was just here performing. There's also Screen Gems Studios and the filming of movies and TV shows in the area. And there's also beautiful beaches on top of it! If you hate Wilmington so much, just leave and give the rest of us more space![Comment on this Posting]

Living in Wilmington - 3/21/2014
I have lived in Wilmington, NC close to 2 years now. I moved from the Philadelphia area to attend UNCW here. There are a lot of pros and cons to living here. If you like the beach, you will love it here. If you like big cities and good food, Wilmington is lacking. The job market is OK, not great. I had a few friends move here unable to find a job in their line of work, so are waiting tables instead. I hear Wilmington has grown a lot compared to past years, but it is still not big enough for me. If you don't mind smaller places, it has lots of food options, shopping, affordable housing -- just don't expect a city![Comment on this Posting]
High schools - 9/14/2013
Wilmington's High Schools are riddled with children who openly admit to substance abuse in one form or another - they are a friendly bunch though. My child's school is considered "a good school" according to all persons I asked, but the level of education is about 1 year below what my child was used to - she is a Junior doing Sophomore work.

HELP, Husband may relocate to Wilmington!!! - 6/17/2013
Hello everyone. I desperately need some input on the Wilmington area. My husband, myself, and our 2 children (8 & 6) currently live in Greenville, NC. My husband recently interviewed with a company in Wilmington and I need to find out more about the area. We visited this past weekend and were not immediately impressed. After reading the reviews on this site, I am absolutely petrified to move to the Wilmington area and I am extremely worried about my children. [Comment on this Posting]
Best thing about living here....the weather! - 3/2/2013
Two defining characteristics of the Southeast NC coast: sunny and breezy. The winters are mild, in the 40s and 50s most of the time - sometimes warmer - with a few dips into the 30s and 20s at night. Snow is rare, if it does happen its a small amount (half an inch or less), doesn't stick to roads and is gone within hours. It is humid here year-round, which could be a con for some people since the summers can get very sticky. However, multiple beaches are very close![Comment on this Posting]
Humidity - 1/13/2013
Although the snow misses this little nitch the humidity is unbelievable. It rivals what I remember of S. America and there is no breeze unless you are on the beach.[Comment on this Posting]
Traffic, No/Low Paying Jobs, High Cost of Living, - 9/1/2012
Although I was born in PA, I grew up right here in Wilmington after my family moved to town when I was only 6 years old. Needless to say, Wilmington has changed a LOT! The town was not designed or laid out well for the extreme growth that it has seen over the past 25 years. There is not a whole lot to do here, besides visit the beach or go to a bar downtown. No real live music without being required to make the two hour drive to Raleigh to see a show. Traffic is terrible at most times during the day. The job market here is absolutely terrible. I spent over two years without steady, full-time employment, until about two years ago. Due to this now being a tourist and college town, most jobs are service-oriented, such as hotels, restaurants, etc. The pay scale is terrible, with employers not typically wanting to pay anything above $25-30,000 per year, since we have such a huge, constant influx of college kids that they can hire for minimum wage, even with a college degree or many years of experience in your field. The cost of living has skyrocketed in the past 10 years or so. If you rent a home or condo/apartment, expect to pay upwards of $1000 per month for anything decent. I was surprised to notice, while reading through the previous reviews of Wilmington on SperlingViews, that no one had yet mentioned the terribly corrupt police force and court system in this area! I have traveled extensively throughout the US and have yet to encounter another place where the police so openly harass the citizens and abuse their entrusted authority. What makes it worse is that the court system is just as corrupt, seemingly working together with the police officers to funnel as much money as possible out of the pockets of the hard working citizens, without any sort of recourse available. For example, they often set-up what they claim to be "DWI Check Points" at all times of the day/night/year that stop every single vehicle and check the licence/registration/insurance of the driver, as well as running the record of everyone in the vehicle. Don't be fooled, these so-called "DWI Check Points" are yet another guise to generate revenue for the corrupt system; charging an extremely small number of drivers with DWI, while issuing citations for anything and everything else that they possibly can. Seat belt tickets, lapse of insurance, a burnt-out light, possession of a firearm or drugs, an old warrant, perhaps just because they "suspect" you of whatever crime they can conjure up between one another...anything at all to generate revenue. A routine check point will issue somewhere around 400-500 citations in any given afternoon or evening, out of which perhaps 5 will be DWI citations. It has become commonplace to read about these same officers beating citizens or otherwise using excessive force. Not too long ago, a young teen boy was shot and killed when officers busted into his home and hastily mistook the video game remote control he had in his hand at the time as a gun. This all occurred after they found pictures online of him holding what appeared to be a gun. No crime had been committed. The officers that shot the boy were never tried or convicted of any crime at all, but were rather simply transferred to another department and the incident was quietly swept away. These sorts of things happen on a regular basis here in Wilmington. There are a lot of great people in the area, but making a life here is difficult. Not only are good jobs seldom to find and the cost of living high, the "good ole' boy" system is still very much in play. Honestly, I am MUCH more concerned and terrified of being harassed/beaten/robbed/killed by the police as I make my daily commute to work and back home each day than I have ever been of having those kinds of things committed by some lurking criminal. In all of the years that I've spent in this town, there has never been anywhere near the amount of any type of crime (violent or otherwise) necessary to ever come near justifying any need for the insanely large and powerful police force that is run in Wilmington. Think twice before deciding to move here, unless you have a good job lined up already and housing within a very short driving distance of that job. It would be very wise to set back $500-1000 in savings that you can readily access when the time comes to pay off fines and court costs (AKA "Bribe Money"). [Comment on this Posting]
Recreation? - 8/26/2012
OK, let's be real here. There is nothing cultural to do here. There's no professional sports teams, no real convention center or stadium to attract rock bands- you know, professional rock bands? The "museum" doeesn't have any real exhibits that travel from city to city. Have I left anything out? Oh, resturants, most are small locally owned varieties of fried food, you know traditional "southern" food. How about smoking everywhere you go, including the jerk on the road who sticks his hand out the window with the cigarette in it, so we all have to breathe it in. Do they realize the smoke blows right back in the window anyway? So, in a nutshell, let's review, DON'T MOVE HERE if you want to have fun or do anything after dark or cultural. How about earning money? Unemployment ranks among the highest in the nation, and most jobs are service driven. I am an RN and have been out of work on several occassions and it has taken me a few months or more to find work because if you don't work for the local hospital, yes there's only ONE HOSPITAL, and if you don't know someone or "volunteer" there like so many RN's apparently do in order to get a real job there....you aren't going to make it. There are a few crappy and horribly run nursing homes filled with some really crazy people, and I'm not talking about the patients here... If you rank going to the beach as your number one thing to do day and night, you are set- move here and enjoy, but if you wznt to earn money, have fun and meet quality people, look elsewhere and do not move here. I now have to sell my house and cut more losses and I am really researching my next move much more carefully. [Comment on this Posting]
Happiness depends on where you live in Wilmington - 1/11/2012
I concur with many of the other reviewers about interaction with the natives. I'm a native of North Carolina but I lived in NY for 30 years. The nastiness you get from the natives here in Wilmington is largely a result of the changing economics and demographics of this area. People who lived here for generations have been uprooted from their homes by developers through their political connections and displaced by Suburban sprawl. Cost of living has increased significantly here while working class wages and employment opportunities have fallen. Their resentment however misplaced falls squarely on the newcomers. Just like living in NYC If someone gives you a hard time give it to them right back, you will get more respect.
Crime is largely theft due to the poor employment opportunities for low income people and substance abuse. Personal safety is no worse than any other urban area. Like any city you learn where not to go and when not to be there. I live near downtown and crime has not been an issue for the 7 years I have been here. One car broken into last year has been the extent of it on my street.
I like living near downtown, We are in an older neighborhood adjacent to GreenField Lake Park.It is very artsy and liberal so newcomers are well accepted. We have friends and neighbors from all over the economic,racial and social spectrum. For us it was a welcome change from living in uptight NY suburbs.
We also don't encounter the traffic congestion that the suburbs experience Banking,groceries,bars and restaurants are within walking/biking distance.
I like sailing and this area is just fantastic for sailing! Same goes for fishing or just laying on the beach. Very costly to live on the water here. It's best to buy a good trailer that is easy to launch from atone of the numerous free boat ramps.

A Diamond In The Rough? - 10/23/2011
We moved to Richlands NC from Phoenix AZ about 3 months ago. WE came to escape the heat, the bleaching, skin stripping sun and arid lung burning air of the 5-6 month Phoenix summer. WE seem to have accomplished this, seeing 80's and 90's through the summer and mostly partly cloudy days and rain.
It has been an adjustment, coming from a city that had possibly every major chain in the US, several large malls and every convenience that you could think of, a walk, or a short car ride away, to live in the country, a few miles from a small town.
Jacksonville, 15 miles away, has a small mall, but several of the big box stores and is still trying to develop some shopping and entertainment diversity.
The supermarkets and even Sam's club, offer a limited range of beer for example. National lager brands tend to dominate the beer selections. Bud, Coors, Miller etc. This is an indicator of the population, mostly young Marines who have yet to develop an appreciation for anything else.
Shopping in Sam's club the other day, I inquired as to why the beer selection was so limited? The answer was that most of the folks who shop there do not want the variety and there is little call for anything else. (Sort of narrow minded and sad really).
There are a few bars around Jacksonville and disappointingly nothing in Richlands. The notion of a community focal point where you can drop in and have a beer while meeting your neighbors, is lost, or perhaps never was a part of this society.
So, then there's Raleigh, well we drove through Raleigh yesterday and Cary. Nothing to inspire us there. Raleigh downtown is typically full of govt and office buildings. Almost grid like streets, narrow and old. Cary downtown was smaller and 'apparently' meant to be more 'upscale' but also lacking. Both are mostly boring really. The leafy suburbs are at times almost claustrophobic and driving through many of the more 'apparently' select neighborhoods, feels underwhelming and frankly, although the sun was shining, it was lifeless and depressing.
Then we drove to Wilmington. Old town is old and in need of repair / renovation in many parts. Some buildings and homes have been maintained and / or restored. It's a mish-mash neighborhood. The Presbyterian church for example looks impressive. Some of the houses around it though are feeling their age. Maybe it's quaint or chic to live there? Likely an investment neighborhood since it's deemed historic?
The crime / roudiness reports make it appear like a pretty punkish neanderthal night scene. Or are the views of many folks wrong? The sprawl of urban development is actually remeniscent of parts of Phoenix metro. It is good to see that there is more of an eclectic variety of stores on our first glance. Something that Jacksonville may eventually offer? Together with the climate and the boast of a 'brew-pub' and a quieter Irish pub, Wilmington does seem to be developing more cultural entertainment diversity? Then after reading the many comments preceding mine today, I have quiet reservations. For although it is a developing town, it appears that it may be hamstrung by narrow-mindedness and ignorance. So, should we move to what 'appears' to be an upcoming town, or should we stay amongst the gentle folk of Richlands who have been welcoming with open arms, even though we have to travel to access everything?

Quality of lIfe in Wilmington not what it appears - 8/10/2011
When we first visited Wilimington in the early 90's it appeared to be a great place to live. Climate is, of course, much better than the northern state we came from and the beaches are beautiful and uncrowded compared to the north. Unfortunatley, the people were not, and still are not, tolerant of northerners (or anyone not born in Wilmington) unless you are a tourist spending money. They are very welcoming at that stage, but move here and it is a different story!! Cost of living is actually higher than what we left when you factor in the wages. In addition to the low wages, the work ethic is non-existant and anyone who tries to actually do their job is shunned or forced out. So....while the climate is great and living here appears great - look further before making the move. We wish we would have stayed tourists - once a year or so and are making plans to move on soon.[Comment on this Posting]
Climate isn't everything - 6/3/2011
The Climate in Wilmington is great....roses in march and flowers all year long, but climate isn't everything. When considering this town please also consider the state of consciousness of the residents of this area...many are still fighting the civil war and are not too welcoming. Due to it's closeness to the beaches there is also the constant influx of weekenders and vacationers many of who do not care if they "dirty" up the town......and finally please look at the crime rates and the areas of crime. Been here 4 1/2 years..and live in a great neighborhood and still have to deal with crime issues even here.
Therefore, please weigh your priorities and dont get blinded by the sun.[Comment on this Posting]
New Hanover County NC........not so inexpensive - 3/10/2011
I moved to New Hanover County NC with my fiance. He told me how much more affordable the cost of living was compared to where I previously lived, outside of Washington DC, Calvert County MD.
Upon moving to Wilmington, I discovered my car insurance carrier would not even insure my car in New Hanover County NC. In fact NOE of the auto insurance carriers I have had in the past that I like, would cover my car....
AND I have a perfect driving record. No tickets, no accidents. They just will not sell car insurance in New Hanover County. When I finally did find an acceptable carrier, my premiums went up 40%. My health insurance QUADRUPLED!!!!! The cost of my HSA for the exact same coverage and deductibles went from $150 a month BC/BS of DC to $600 a month BC.BS of NC.
Insurance in New Hanover county is thru the roof, because it is a coastal area. If I lived in either Brunswick or Pender counties (tow neighboring counties) the premiums are less.
Overall, NC has proven to be more expensive than whre I loved outside of Washington DC.[Comment on this Posting]

The Good and The Bad - 3/10/2010
The Good: Wilmington NC is a beautiful family town for the right people. It has the mentality of a small beach town with the growth of a not so big city. It has two malls: an indoor one and an outdoor one. It has a great library. There are three movie theaters and a big stage theater. It is a huge sports town. The town has all kinds of youth sports available at a low cost to families: soccer, football, basketball, softball, baseball and more. The parents can get a bit competitive, but what sports lover doesn't. There are YMCA's, a YWCA, and lots of summer camps and youth centers. The parks more than four, are available to everyone. They are clean and beautiful. They all have walking trails for walkers and joggers and some even have dog parks. Wilmington is definitely a dog town. It also has all the major stores: Target, JC Penny, Walmart, etc. It has great places for family to enjoy the outdoors and indoors. It is a college town so their are a lot of college students at UNCW. The beach is a tourist spot for surfing and fishing. Downtown has gorgeously restored homes and churches. It is a town for the arts. The negative: Many people born and raised here do not want outsiders here. They hire their own and if an outsider is hired, they tend to join forces to make sure the outsider quits. Hispanics are not welcome here. Although many of the Mexican people that live here are here on work visas that the natives request for help in the farms, they are all treated like illegal aliens. The people native to the area are so protective of the beautiful town they call home, they do not realize how hateful they can be and often cross the line. If you are not careful, it could be dangerous. After 4 years of trying to make the natives of Wilmington NC see that we are good people just like them, we are finally giving up and looking for a way to leave. As you can tell, we love the town. It was perfect, but the hatred of the natives to outsiders made it too difficult for us to stay. [Comment on this Posting]

That's the beauty of being a publically traded company and having to answer to so many regulatory agencies, politicians, and investors; the amount of creativity you are able to express is VERY limited.
The use of Chikara was only for the fact that they seem to embrace the "Super Heroes of Wrestling" mentality of the Ultimate Goodies meet the Most Horrendous of Baddies. I could have gone with the Lucha Va Voom route, but I don't think that is their overall intent with their product.
Honestly, I figured TNA would have jumped at this chance by now. Since WWE has taken such big hits to their abilities to think outside of the box, TNA has the better situation in that they only answer to three groups that I can think of; The Panda Energy sponsors, the Spike TV representatives, and the Fans of the product. Panda will require the repayment of the money invested but while Daddy Carter is alive, I don't see it as a debt that will be collected upon in the near future. The Spike Reps have no room to bitch as TNA has been the top show on their channel for quite some time and they have been more than accommodating to Spike in terms of moving spots to make way for Bellator, sticking to the guidelines for usage of blood on TV, etc. The fans that TNA have currently are the hardcore's, which is why the numbers don't fluctuate the way WWE's have over the past 3 years.
Since TNA is in what I would consider to be the most "stable" (not better) position in wrestling at the moment, I feel they would benefit the most from a big risk. They took a risk signing Lagana and the product has become much better since. They risked letting a top star (Abyss) switch to a character that was kind of silly and it has been a success (for me at least) thus far. The risk of going Live has driven up the approval rating of consistent fans. The risk with the A&8s attack on Sting managed to at least get people talking about TNA in a good way instead of just bitching about Hogan when the company came up in conversation (how A&8s will turn out is still up for debate). My lengthy point is that TNA is taking managed risks (latest example: lowering PPV #'s to 10) and they seem to be working overall, but I think they would take the least amount of damage if they took a huge risk.

Jones is a great fighter. GSP is a great fighter. They're not the p4p kings. Aldo has been for a while in my opinion. I started to rank him higher than Anderson even before Anderson lost to Weidman. Aldo has a very comparable track record and title defenses, has beaten elite level fighters who dropped down a weight class (which none of the other guys have done), and unlike all of those guys, Aldo has the least amount of holes in his actual skillset. His striking, wrestling and BJJ are all great. His only knock has been cardio yet guys still pressuring him to 5 rounds ended up losing convincingly.
If every fighter was the same weight, I would easily put my money on Aldo to be the reigning champion.

Darmstadt has an impressive record especially in the fields of technology + innovation and transport + logistics. The city located just 30 km to the south of Frankfurt enjoys an outstanding position in the aerospace industry. A dense network of research institutes and companies operating in the IT sector and a good mix of new branches of research and traditional natural and engineering sciences also set the tone of the city.
Over 30 public and private research establishments provide ample justification for the title "the city of science" and Darmstadt's tradition of research and development extends well beyond the area of transport + logistics. Yet the region is a leading force in the aerospace sector and has been since 1908 when August Euler built Germany's first aircraft factory in Darmstadt and founded the country's first flying school: an inheritance that brings responsibilities. In 1967, the European Space Operation Centre (ESOC) was founded in Darmstadt. Its latest project is an important contribution to the development of the European satellite navigation system "Galileo". The founding of the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT) in 1986, and the European Center for Aviation Development (ECAD) have established Darmstadt as a key player in the aerospace industry for the long term.
Technology + innovation: As well as aviation, space and satellite technologies, biotechnology, cosmetics and pharmaceutical technology, mechatronics and, above all, information technology are of vital importance to Darmstadt as a centre for business and science. Many software companies have their headquarters in and around the city; the structure of the sector is characterised by both a large number of small and medium-sized companies and well-known international market leaders. Software AG, the second largest software house in Germany, has its headquarters here. SAP has links to Darmstadt through SAP Research CEC. In addition, the city has no less than five important research and educational institutions in the IT sector: the Technische Universität Darmstadt, the Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences, the Fraunhofer Institutes for Secure Information Technology (SIT) und Computer Graphics Research (IGD) and the LOEWE Center for Advanced Security Research Darmstadt (CASED).

I am interested in making a MMORPG (an online role-playing game) based on the Diskworld.
I know there's a MUD already, but it's text-based but I'd like to make it more graphic-oriented.
I'm just worried about the whole copyright issue. Do any of you know what Pratchett's feelings on the matter of a Diskworld inspired fan/game site are? And who should I talk to get permission to make one?

How to be a perfect '10' when it comes to sales
Selling can affect your psyche.
Losing a sale makes us feel bad, closing a sale gets us excited, approaching an unresponsive prospect makes us uncomfortable. But our daily sales interactions can seriously affect how we feel. It takes a conscious effort to address those feelings. Addressing our emotions about selling can be difficult, but taking sales personally can be overcome with five seconds of guts. The five seconds of guts is used to consciously focus on your personal feelings of self-worth and reaffirm that your role as a salesperson cannot influence your personal value.
During a training session, I was discussing the difference between personal identity and role performance with the group. I asked a question that is challenging to answer publicly, especially in a group of peers. The question was, "So we know that on a scale of 1 to 10 we should view ourselves as a 10, but how many people in this room can honestly say in their heart of hearts that they are confident they are a 10 no matter how they perform their job?"
Only one woman in the room, Carol, had the guts to raise her hand. I was a little skeptical, thinking that Carol was just providing the answer she thought I wanted to hear. It's rare that I come across a salesperson that has such confidence without putting a conscious effort into maintaining identity value.
So I said, "Carol, I'm shocked. I'll often have people say 8 or 9 but it's very rare that someone confidently says they are a 10. Why are you a 10?"
All eyes went to Carol. One person actually said, "Yeah, how can you be a 10? You're saying you have no room for improvement?"

It's that time of year again; time to pull the cover off your car now that winter has passed. Yes, winter is a good time to spend with your family, but it's also an even better time to get some of the items checked off your to-do list in the garage. With the shift in car show vibe from sit and watch to get up and play, we're seeing more owners expressing interest in road racing.
To satisfy our curiosity we're taking you along for an open track day event. We signed up for the Northern California Racing Club (NCRC) track day at Thunder Hill Raceway of Willows, California. NCRC is one of dozens of organizations covering tracks all over the country that facilitate you in getting on the track with both fun and safety in mind. Here we will cover the basic topics you need to consider before and during your first or next track day.
Making a plan is the first thing to take care of. Once you've booked your event, think about the logistics. Most drivers' meetings happen first thing in the morning, around 7 a.m. Depending on how far the track is from home base, it may mean a 3 a.m. wake-up call. It's really important to have a good night's sleep before a big day like this, so staying at a track-adjacent hotel will give you a lot more time in the morning to relax. Splitting a hotel bill with a buddy is a small price to pay for a better start to your day. Weekday events often offer less congestion, compared to the more popular weekend events. If you can pull it off, we recommend a weekday event, especially if it's your first time.
Before you even start packing, you need to get your car in order. NCRC has a downloadable tech inspection sheet that allows the owner/driver to do a self-inspection at home before the event. The checklist is very basic, and checks for loose, faulty, leaky, and missing equipment. This organization believes that we're all adults and can do an honest inspection ourselves. Most others will have a final inspection on site before the event. This isn't a place to cheat; the inspection checks for safety. If you've got a violation it's in your best interest to fix it, not hide it.
The first thing in the morning is the drivers' meeting. Though seemingly dry, this meeting is a crucial part of a successful track day. This is where they cover what each flag translates to, as well as on-course etiquette, safety, and special instructions for pitting and staging. They let the more experienced groups leave earlier in the meeting and keep the newbies around for additional instructions. This is a great opportunity to ask questions, so don't hold back. Chances are if you're questioning certain things, there's a high chance someone else is wondering the same thing.
At this track day the groups were defined by passing rules. The beginner group (Solo) only permits passing on straights, which allows the less-experienced driver to focus solely on their driving where it's most critical. The intermediate group (Point-by) requires the slower car to provide a signal to the faster car of where and when to pass. This can be on a straight or in a turn but the slower car has control. The most advanced group (Race) has no requirement for a Point-by so drivers can pass at any time. This group is for very experienced drivers and is usually the gateway between open track days and real competition driving. It's much better for a track adviser to suggest you move up a group than down, so choose a comfortable level, no matter how many times you've seen the track.

Saturday, November 23rd (All times Eastern)
Anaheim Ducks (16-6-3) at Phoenix Coyotes (14-4-4), 8 p.m.
(SportsNetwork.com) - The Phoenix Coyotes will try to extend their point streak on home ice to a franchise-record 12 games when they welcome the Anaheim Ducks for Saturday's Pacific Division clash at Jobing.com Arena.
Although Phoenix dropped a 4-3 overtime decision against Colorado on Thursday, the club remained unbeaten in regulation on home ice this season. The Coyotes' 9-0-2 start in Glendale matches a club mark set during the 1998-99 season when ties were counted in the standings. The franchise also had a nine-game home point streak during the 1983-84 season when the club was still known as the Winnipeg Jets.
The Coyotes and Ducks are the only teams left in the NHL to not yet suffer a regulation loss on home ice this season.
Phoenix trailed Colorado 2-0 at one point in the second period on Thursday before rattling off three straight goals to grab a one-goal lead by the latter stages of the third period. However, the Avs received a tying goal from Cody McLeod with 3:14 remaining in regulation and Ryan O'Reilly notched the game- winner on a power-play tally with 41.1 seconds left in OT.
O'Reilly scored after Keith Yandle was whistled for slashing at 3:25 of the extra session. PA Parenteau slid a pass into the right circle, where O'Reilly beat Mike Smith to the far side.
Antoine Vermette, Martin Hanzal and Michael Stone lit the lamp for the Coyotes, while Smith stopped 26 shots in the losing effort.
"It's disappointing when you don't get those two points, there's no doubt," said Vermette.
Phoenix has lost two of its last three games, but still has managed to earn a point in five straight contests (3-0-2).
Coyotes forward Lauri Korpikoski and defensemen Zbynek Michalek and David Schlemko are questionable for Saturday's tilt due to various injuries. Korpikoski and Schlemko sat out Thursday's game, while Michalek has missed the past two outings.
While Phoenix tries to keep its home point streak going with a win, Anaheim will aim to win back-to-back games for the first time in nearly two weeks.
The Ducks halted a season-worst five-game losing streak with Friday's 1-0 overtime win against visiting Tampa Bay. Ryan Getzlaf broke a scoreless deadlock with just eight seconds remaining in OT, giving Anaheim its first win since a home triumph over Vancouver on Nov. 10.
"I just knew there wasn't much time left, so I just wanted to go on one last rush and get one on net," said Getzlaf of his game-winner. "I ended up getting two cracks at it and managed to get it over the shoulder, and I kind of blacked out after that."
Anaheim improved to 9-0-1 on home ice this season with Friday's win, but the club is just 7-6-2 on the road and has lost four straight as the guest.
Jonas Hiller, who was pressed into action Friday when expected starter Viktor Fasth suffered a lower-body injury during warmups, came up with 31 saves for Anaheim. Fasth has been ruled out for Saturday's game, meaning Hiller could get the call again.
Anaheim is 2-0 against the Coyotes this season. The Ducks notched a shootout win in Orange County on Oct. 18 and added another home victory over the Coyotes with a 5-2 triumph on Nov. 6. The Ducks have won three of four overall in this series, but have dropped three in a row and five of six at Phoenix.

MORE than 10,000 people flocked to Crooklands at the weekend to celebrate quality local produce.
Country Fest — organised by Westmorland Agricultural Society — showcased the finest food and drink the area has to offer.
Independent food and drink producers and suppliers, who give the region its culinary reputation, tempted the senses at the County Showfield and gave visitors an insight into where their food comes from.
The family event also included a pets' corner, 'meet the farmer', sheep shearing demonstrations, music and dance, a 'grow your own' area, crafts, beer festival, trade stands and dog shows.
Sheep dog trials were a new addition this year and The Westmorland Gazette hosted a wedding fair.
Richard and Barbara Mathews, from Kendal, were impressed with the range of items on sale and stocked up on locally-produced pies.
"We have such a wide variety of food here," said Mr Mathews.
"We have got a lot of farmers who are extending what they do into other products and we like to support them."
Tommy Brady, also from Lancaster, said: "The amount of food that is available is amazing. There are umpteen different types of sausage and pies — you want to buy it all."
Christine Knipe, chief executive of Westmorland Agricultural Society, said: "The sunshine did bring people out on the Sunday and it was very busy.
"The feedback was positive."
THE Bassenthwaite Ospreys have moved home to live in marshes nearer to Bassenthwaite Lake.
After successfully nesting at their treetop summer home at Dodd Wood since 2008, the pair decided it was time for a change and have been gradually building a new nest since returning from their wintering grounds in West Africa.
Fortunately, the new site is visible from the Dodd Wood viewpoint so visitors can still enjoy watching the birds of prey this season.
Ospreys are normally faithful to successful nest sites, so the move was a bit of a shock for staff at the Lake District Osprey Project (LDOP). This is only the second time staff have seen the ospreys change nest in the project's 11-year history.
Nathan Fox of the RSPB's Lake District Osprey Project, said: 'It has been an interesting and exciting start to the season, with the birds deciding to move. We have been working closely with local landowners and farmers to make sure that the birds are fully protected and therefore have a good chance of raising their chicks."
A PAIR of ospreys have returned to their nesting site in the Lake District. The birds are back at Bassenthwaite Lake - 10 years after the first male osprey chose the area for a nesting site.The bird, known as No Ring, was the first to nest in the Lakes for 150 years. Experts say he has returned with the female he paired up with for the first time in 2007.
It is hoped the birds will rear an 11th generation of young after two male chicks were produced last year.
Graeme Prest of the Lake District Osprey Project said: "It is wonderful news that the ospreys have returned for another season and have already mated. With a bit of luck, the female will be laying her eggs soon."
Almost 100 people are part of a volunteer project to provide 24-hour observation on the nest. They also engage with the public about ospreys at the Dodd Wood viewpoint and Whinlatter Visitor Centre.
The public Osprey Viewpoint at Dodd Wood, near Keswick, has been opened and telescopes are being provided to see the birds.
Live images from the nest are also being beamed to a big screen at the nearby Whinlatter visitor centre. The osprey project is managed by a partnership of the Forestry Commission, Lake District National Park Authority and the RSPB.
3:34pm Wednesday 6th April 2011
GARDENERS' World presenter Carol Klein has been confirmed as the special guest at The Holker Garden Festival June 3 and 5.

Hey everybody, I thought some of us might need a little motivation or group
support to start putting those funds away for CG and stop procrastinating!
I've got my 2 CG set to my spare CC...but i still plan on putting aside the funds each month.
so starting today my total is
Has anyone who needs to start now made any progress and how much have you been able to stash away?
Good luck!
Last weekend i was going to buy another drink at the bar and remembered I need to start saving for Castle Grayskull so i've saved a whopping 5 dollars
That's funny, last weekend I remembered I'm going to have to pay for 4 Castle Grayskulls so I ordered another drink.
My top 10 items I'd like for 2016: 10/Stridor, 9/Granita, 8/Vultak 7/Filmation Tung Lashor, 6/Sprag, Sprocker and Spritina, 5/Filmation Teela, 4/Hunga the Harpy, 3/Filmation Evil Lyn 2/Filmation Clawful, 1/Dylamug.
My wife who's relatively tolerant and passive about my collecting will kick my *** if she finds out I am spending $800 plus dollars on Castle Grayskull playsets. I pre-ordered 3 of them and I'm putting away $75 a month so when we get to December I won't be ebaying like crazy just to pay for them.

I'm about to purge my Star Wars collection to its barest elements and hope to raise enough money to more than cover the cost of Grayskull. (I've got a TON to get rid of and shouldn't have much trouble, even if I charge a dollar or two per figure. It's going to be official soon: I'll have a bigger MOTU collection than Star Wars! For me, that's really saying something!)
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
Well, Mermista and I ordered 10. So our total with shipping will be $2860.02
We are on the way to that total as of this payday yesterday we have a total of $500.00 put away.
At this rate we will have all of the Grayskulls paid for by June 7th.
Does anyone remember the date that Matty said to have fund ready by, I believe it was a month before December 10th, but I do not remember for sure.

SKU:323.289 | Kelly Green LEATHER
22 Review(s)
Write a Review
Basic in design, our Key Chain is all you need to give your key ring a little more style. It's not too fancy and not too loud, but it's definitely a step up from just carrying around a circle of metal!
Our Classico leather collection is a semi-aniline, drum dyed pebbled leather. It offers a little extra color and character, making it a good choice when you want your accessories to stand out. This full grain leather has a soft hand feel with intricate lines, giving it a distinct look from our smoother leathers like Vero and Zita. It comes in a wide variety of colors that you won't find in our other collections and has a polished finish to make them really shine. Its unique appearance and range of colors make it ideal for matching with purses, belts, or other leather items you own.
Perfect product at a great price. I will be ordering more as gifts.
I absolutely love the key chain. The quality is great and the shipping was timely. Great company!!
Bought this for my boss. Had her initials added- she LOVES it. Has a new car with one of those huge keys, so she had a separate ring for house, office, etc. keys. Would drop it, fall out of cup holder, kids got it. Now, she says it stays put, so bright she always sees where it is, large enough so it is easy to carry- along with all the kid stuff.
What a neat gift for a 16tth birthday gift. So simple and useful it's almost too nice to use. We're sure it will see many years of use. Thank you. KAS
Very pleased with my purchase. It's very attractive, excellent quality leather.
quality was very good, the "blind" monogramming was done very well, was reasonably priced, and got here within 3-4 days, standard mail.
I cannot tell you how happy I am with my new key chain. It is so hard to find a key chain in a local store. After googling for key chain web sites, I found very few that had what I wanted. When I finally found your web site, it was so easy to find a key chain that I have been trying to find for years. Your customer service was great. When I finally received the keychain, I was totally surprised to see how fast the key chain was shipped to me by mail.
Was very pleased with quality and speed of shipping. I ordered this mainly to check out quality and color for future bridesmaid gifts and I will definitely be coming back.
The item is made in China. Not noted on the website.
I absolutely love this key chain! The one I was using before was a gift from Australia, and I had been looking for something to replace it. I have been using the Leatherology key chain for a few weeks now and it looks nicer that the day I first started using it. The leather is getting softer and the color pops. For the price, this is a much better choice than the metal key chains that will turn colors or fall apart.
This is a wonderful gift that is a high quality product! I love the monogramming!
Very nice & great quality! Gave it as a gift with initials on & the person loved it !
It's a nice keychain. It was larger than I mentally pictured 3" x 1.5". Having a snap on it makes me nervous it's going to fall off.
Great looking quality and color. Question: I note on some products under the name Leatherology, it states Made in China! Do your leather products come from China?
This product is everything it says it is. It is a high quality leather at a great price. Would definitely buy again.
This looked great when I took it out of the box. I have only carried it for a week or two and the leather is already scratched and scarred. Very disappointing.
This is a very cute key chain; not too big, not too small. It is durable, great-looking and exceptionally practical.
I love that I can put multiple rings on this leather fob and easily remove my car keys for the valet.
This is a sturdy and rich looking Key Chain. I love it and I am proud to carry it. Thank you for the great product!
Thank You for Your wonderful internet site and great handling of customer service
Very happy with this product. Received it quickly and great quality. Would definitely recommend to others.
Very pleased with the quality, embossing and the gift presentation!! I'll be back.....
Whether you are treating yourself or giving a gift to someone else, we want you to have an amazing and memorable experience. All items will be shipped using our signature gift packaging. Depending on the type and size, your item(s) will come wrapped in our signature microsuede sleeve, drawstring bag or soft velour bag (each with black tie accents), and be packaged inside a high-density bronze gift box. You will also have the opportunity to add a personalized gift note when you place your order.
All of this extra attention to detail is complimentary.
