July 28, 1920-May 12, 2011
JAY–The Green Mountain Rock Crushers held their first player try-out camp this past weekend at the Ice House at Jay Peak. Twenty-two players made the trip to northeastern Vermont to try to win a roster spot, and while not all of them were offered an invitation to the come back, they enjoyed their experience.
"It's absolutely beautiful up here, it's so scenic," said Jonathan Reynolds, a twenty-four year old goaltender from Toronto.
GM and Governor Andy Makal was pleased with the camp and the level of play the athletes brought with them.

The North Country Girls Golf Team competed in the Vermont State, Division I Championships on Tuesday, at the Proctor Pittsford Country Club. With a combined score of 230, they tied for seventh in the ten team tournament. Eilish Muir improved her score over last year by 35%. Shooting a respectable 123, she had her best hole on the 7th,a par 3. "I used my 5 iron to put the ball four feet from the pin, just missed the birdie putt. But, I wasn't short, and made the easy putt back for my par. Unfortunately, it was my only par."
MIDDLEBURY–Lake Region's Matt Morin and Mount Mansfield's Jona Scott were paired up for play on Wednesday for the Division II boys state championship in Middlebury.
The two went back and forth all day long, but Morin emerged victorious over Scott, shooting a six over par 77 to Scott's 81.
"It was pretty back and forth with Jona," said Morin the day after his big win, "The course played really tough, the weather conditions were really good, although it got a little windy towards the end. I was pretty happy with the way I played."

simultaneous infections with Hiv and hep c
Sep 27, 2009
I think I may have been infected with both hep c and hiv at the same time. I had a negative hiv test 7 months post exposure and am planning on taking another at 10 months. What are the chances that being infected by both would delay a postivie hiv result? thanks
Response from Dr. McGovern
As long as you are HCV negative now, I would no longer get tested since I am not concerned about a delay of HIV seroconversion.

Welcome to CoMoblog
CoMoblog is a branch project of the well known EasyMoblog mobile blogging software. Unfortunately the original developer of EasyMoblog hasn't had time to develop the product of late and such we have branched the project to continue further work.
CoMoblog is just like every other PHP blogging application out there, except for a couple of main points.
Firstly, the application is designed for use by people always on the move. There are two ways you can post an entry. For one, you can login to the CoMoblog website and post as you would normally expect. Secondly, and this is the major difference, is that you can post via email from any email-enabled device. For instance, while on holidays you can send an email from your mobile phone to CoMoblog and have it post your entry for you.
Secondly, CoMoblog is very "image" orientated. It's built such that you can snap a photo using your mobile phone camera and post it in under a minute (depending on your phone's interface ;-)
The current status is that all known bugs have been fixed and a large selection of new Features have been implemented.

My name is Maryanne. My sister Caroline and I live in Sydney, Australia. We run Sew Together, a sewing school where our main focus is to help our students discover the joy of creating beautiful but simple things and the fun that comes from being part of a crafting community. We also share a blog that records our sewing adventures and some of the adventures of our family. A month ago I decided to try something new – I have started to make a Dear Jane quilt.
The Inspiration
1. The Quilt
Jane Stickle lived in Vermont and completed this truly magnificent quilt in 1863. She was 46 at the time. The quilt consists of 169 four and a half inch blocks, 52 triangle border blocks, and 4 kite-shaped corner blocks made from 5602 pieces in total. One corner block is embroidered with "In War Time. 1863. Pieces 5602. Jane A Stickle". The quilt now lives at the Bennington Museum in Vermont and is displayed in September and October every year.
The quilt was made famous by Brenda Papadakis who saw it in the book Plain and Fancy: Vermont's People and their Quilts as a Reflection of America by Richard L. Cleveland and Donner Blister. She was so inspired by what she saw, she drafted the patterns for all the blocks and border pieces and then published them in the book Dear Jane, The Two Hundred Twenty-Five Patterns from the 1863 Jane A. Stickle Quilt.
I have not been lucky enough to see the original but saw some beautiful Dear Jane Quilts at the recent Quilters' Guild of New South Wales Sydney Quilt show. These quilts stopped me in my tracks. There is something different about a Dear Jane quilt. I have certainly never seen a triangular scalloped border like this one before. I also love the tiny size of the blocks and the subtle order to the colour arrangement of the blocks. It is a sampler quilt that works so well as a whole.
2. My Mum
Although I have not made any quilts before, I believe that I have the patchwork and quilting gene. Mum started quilting 30 years ago and has never stopped. It is part of who she is. I was visiting her today and popped my head into her sewing space. It is full of beautiful fabrics, amazing finished quilts and more projects on the go than seem possible. She has told me she has found half finished quilts that she had forgotten she had ever started! In 10 minutes I photographed a few projects she is currently working on (and this is just the tip of the iceberg).
Mum is my font of all quilting enthusiasm and knowledge. When I mentioned my fascination with Dear Jane she was ready to embrace it. She had agreed to sew along and delivered the background fabric to me before I could blink. I see us as the cook and the chef. I am the cook bumbling along, trying things out, and re-making what doesn't work the first time. Mum is the chef, full of experience and a wealth of knowledge.
3. Scraps
My usual sewing projects are clothes for my children and occasionally for myself. Being a patchworker's daughter, I could never throw out all the beautiful fabric left over from these projects. But they are taking over. At last count I have 5 huge plastic bins overflowing with scraps. I hope to empty these bins by making a quilt of memories. This quilt will document the clothes I have made for my children and help me remember the adventures they have had when they were wearing them.
4. Time
At this point in my life it is difficult for me to find time to sew. However, I like to do something every day. It may seem paradoxical to say I don't have much time to sew so I am going to make a 5602 piece quilt. But for me, this quilt is so varied and so easy to break up into small parts, it will provide me with sewing inspiration and manageable sized projects for many years to come!
The Plan
Trying to be a realist, I have committed to make a block a fortnight. Mum is sewing along and I will document our progress on the blog. I am hoping that this will keep me motivated. Doing the maths, this will take me 6 ½ years to complete the piecing alone. This project is very much about the process rather than the outcome.
I have decided to keep this a stash buster quilt and so I have also committed to buy nothing. Thankfully I know I can always raid Mum and Caroline's stashes if need be without breaking the rules.
If anyone would like to join in, I would love to add your images to our blog. I will post a picture and name of the block we are doing each fortnight. If I can find a link to a tutorial describing how to make the block, I will post that too. At the end of the fortnight, I will post some photos of the blocks Mum and I made. If you would like to email me photos of your blocks I will post those as well or you are very welcome to link to the post.
There are many fantastic resources for anyone who is interested in Dear Jane quilts.
Dear Jane is the website set up by Brenda Papadakis to complement her book Dear Jane, The Two Hundred Twenty-Five Patterns from the 1863 Jane A. Stickle Quilt. It has a wealth of information and tips on how to piece each block. It also has links to the websites or photo collection of Janiacs (those who make Dear Jane quilts) so you can watch their quilt progress.
That Quilt has tutorials for the construction of every block. The person who writes this blog is currently making her 3rd Dear Jane Quilt so she must know what she is talking about!
Sharon Mastbrook has created a virtual design wall for Dear Jane Quilts that you can download. It allows you to scan in your blocks and record your own progress. You can see an example of one here.
You will find a great round up of Dear Jane Quilts at Crazy About Jane and Nearly Insane (about Jane)
There are also some great Flickr groups: www.flickr.com/groups/thedearj

(Jul 11, 2011) On July 4, 2011, the European Commission adopted a proposal for a Framework Regulation for Macro-Financial Assistance (MFA) to third countries. According to a Commission press release, MFA is "a financing instrument under which exceptional financial assistance is granted to third countries close to the EU that are experiencing balance-of-payments difficulties." (Press Release, IP/11/828, European Commission, Commission Adopts Framework Regulation for Macro-Financial Assistance to Third Countries (July 4, 2011), EUROPA.)
The Framework Regulation would set forth in a formal legal document the key rules governing MFA, the "Genval criteria," a set of principles defined by the Council of the EU that were last stated in October 2002. Since the instrument was first applied in 1990, 55 MFA decisions have been approved, benefiting 23 countries through assistance commitments totaling €7.4 billion (about US$10.6 billion). MFA can be in "the form of grants, financed by the EU budget, or loans, for which the Commission borrows the necessary funds in capital markets and on-lends them to the beneficiary country," and is complementary to financing provided by the International Monetary Fund. (Id.)
The aim of the proposed Framework Regulation is to speed up decision-making for individual MFA operations and thereby make the MFA process both faster and more effective. The press release states, "[a]s highlighted by the global financial crisis, speed is of the essence when dealing with macroeconomic and financial crisis situations. This underlines the importance of developing instruments to respond that can be deployed quickly and efficiently." (Id.) Under the proposal, "MFA would be granted to an eligible third country through an implementing act of the Commission under the supervision of a committee of Member State representatives, as is the case in other external financial instruments of the EU," a swifter decision-making process that is expected to make the MFA "better able to help beneficiary countries withstand short-term external financial pressures." (Id.)
The proposed Framework Regulation is also part of the EU's effort to better adapt its set of externally oriented financial instruments to current budgetary challenges set forth in the Multiannual Financial Framework, the major revamping of the EU budget being planned for the seven-year period 2014-2020. (The Commission Has Proposed Today to Increase the Funding for European Neighbourhood Instrument, EUROPEAN MOVEMENT (July 1, 2011); see also Mikaela Gavas, Svea Koch, Oladiran Bello, Jeske van Seters, & Mark Furness, The EU's Multi-Annual Financial Framework Post-2013: Options for EU Development Cooperation (June 2011), Overseas Development Institute website; The Post 2013 Multiannual Financial Framework of the EU: Why It Is a Priority for CONCORD in 2011, APRODEV website (Jan. 2011).)
In addition, if adopted, the regulation would update and clarify some of the current MFA rules, particularly those governing its geographical scope. According to the proposal, MFA-eligible countries would be EU-candidate and potential candidate countries, as well as countries covered by the European Neighbourhood Policy, with other third countries continuing to be eligible "only under exceptional and duly justified circumstances, and provided they are geographically close to the EU and entertain close political and economic links with it." (Id.; The Policy: What Is the European Neighbourhood Policy?, European Neighbhourhood Policy website (Sept. 30, 2010).)
Before it can become law, the proposed Framework Regulation must be adopted by both the European Parliament and the Council of the EU. (Press Release, supra.)

NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 03/28/12 -- Gold prices have been relatively muted this month due to strengthening investor optimism on the United States' economic outlook along with a sharp rise in treasury yields. The fall in gold prices has led one or more central banks to buy as much as four tons of bullion in recent weeks, according to a recent Financial Times report. Five Star Equities examines the outlook for companies in the Gold industry and provides equity research on Newmont Mining Corporation (NYSE: NEM) and NovaGold Resources Inc. (NYSE Amex: NG) (TSX: NG). Access to the full company reports can be found at:
According to the 'Mineral Commodity Summaries 2012' recently released by the U.S. Geological Survey the world's gold-producing countries bolstered their output in 2011, producing a total of 2,700 tons of gold, a 5.5 percent increase on 2010. According to the China Gold Association, China's gold output reached a record high of 360.96 tons in 2011, cementing its top global ranking for the fifth consecutive year. Statistics from China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology also show that the country's gold mining sector continued to expand in January with a rise of about 3.69% from the same month a year ago.
China's increasing gold output remains nowhere near the country's huge appetite for consuming gold, however, which rose to roughly 800 tons in 2011.
Five Star Equities releases regular market updates on the Gold industry so investors can stay ahead of the crowd and make the best investment decisions to maximize their returns. Take a few minutes to register with us free at www.fivestarequities.com and get exclusive access to our numerous stock reports and industry newsletters.
While gold prices are finally falling off 52 week highs, gold mining stocks continue to lag near 52 week lows. Patrick Chidley, mining analyst for HSBC, argues that gold miners are "expanding their margins rapidly and as their earnings increase, these companies are paying very strong dividends."
The Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX) -- which seeks to replicate an index that provides exposure to publicly traded companies worldwide involved primarily in the mining for gold, representing a diversified blend of small, mid and large-capitalization stocks -- is down more than seven percent over the last month.
Five Star Equities provides Market Research focused on equities that offer growth opportunities, value, and strong potential return. We strive to provide the most up-to-date market activities.

Track and field project approved by Town
When the 2010 football season gets underway at Barnstable High School in the fall, the Red Raiders might have to wait a while to play a home game, but in the end it will all be worth it.
When the team returns to its home field at BHS, it will be to play on a newly installed artificial turf field.
The Barnstable Town Council approved the long-awaited project at its June 17 meeting in a 10-3 vote that elicited cheers from athletes, parents, and coaches in the audience.
"I'm stunned," said Barnstable Supt. Dr. Patricia Grenier following the vote. "I would like to thank the committee. It has been an extraordinary year, and for our students who are here to watch democracy in action, you gave them an interesting lesson."
The decision allows for approximately $1,024,146 in funds from the sale of the former Grade 5 school building, now Pope John Paul II High School, to be used in the replacement of the current track and football field with a safer and more modern artificial track and field.
The project has long been a point of discussion for the Barnstable School Committee and the BHS Athletic Department.
Originally, a more massive project, dubbed the "Field of Dreams," was proposed. That project included the relocation of the current stadium, as well as resurfacing of all of the fields at BHS.
Patricia Grenier stressed to the Town Council that the replacement project before them was not that project.
"This project is a replacement of an unsafe track that cannot be repaired, and the installation of artificial turf on the interior for a complete project," she said.
The current track at BHS is roughly 25 years old and has been in such disrepair in recent years that the boys and girls track teams have held no home meets.
Because of poor field conditions, teams other than the football team have been allowed little to no use of the field.
The new field will mean less maintenance and wider use by athletes, the BHS Marching Band and the local community.
Barnstable football coach Doug Crook told the committee that while many think of the field as simply a football field, it is used for much more.
"It's an all-purpose field for all sports," he said. "I've got my shovel in my truck. I want to start digging tonight. Let's get this done."
BHS Athletic Director Steve Francis spoke about the benefits of having an artificial turf field, including proper drainage, no more geese damaging the field and the ability of the high school to host a variety of different events, which could bring in needed revenue.
Incoming BHS principal Pat Clark noted that he has been running on the track for nearly two decades. Clark pointed out that numerous members of the local community frequently use the track.
"I think these monies speak to a commitment of a community in terms of wellness," he said. "That place is used by the community, it's used by students, and it really speaks to a community commitment about the wellness of people of all ages."
The replacement of the track and field is slated to begin sometime this summer.
"This is a project long in coming," said former school committee member David Lawler. "It's a fantastic project."

Microchip capillary electrophoresis-based genetic comparison of closely related cyathostomin nematode parasites of horses using randimly amplified polymorphic dna polymerase chain reaction.Parasitology Research. 92:421-429. Technical Abstract: Nematodes of the subfamily Cyathostominae are now regarded as the principal parasitic pathogen of the horse. The 40 species in horses worldwide can be identified by a few authorities using comparative anatomy of adult stages, but larval stages are exceptionally difficult to identify and eggs are impossible to identify to even subfamily level. The development of DNA- based methods that can be used to identify all stages of the nematodes including eggs in the feces is a high priority need. This report describes the use of microchip-based capillary electrophoresis technology for the analysis of complex DNA banding patterns to identify the closely related cyathostomin species Cylicocyclus elongatus and C. insigne from the horse. The results will be used by researchers in the pharmaceutical industry, the Food and Drug Administration, and other scientists developing more efficient diagnostic methods for evaluating biological control agents and antiparasitic drugs for controlling these important nematode parasites of horses worldwide.

ON Top 50 Prospects – #27: Randy Henry
Randy Henry was selected by the Orioles in the 4th round of the 20009 MLB draft out of South Mountain CC. He signed for $365,000 and made his pro debut with the Delmarva Shorebirds last season (2010). Henry's pure stuff is almost unmatched within the Orioles organization.
ON Top 50 Prospects – #28: Aaron Wirsch
The Orioles' 7th round draft pick in 2009, Aaron Wirsch made his debut with the GCL Orioles the same year, throwing 16.2 innings with a 2.16 ERA and 18 strikeouts. Joe Jordan said "I wish we could sign five every year just like him."
ON Top 50 Prospects – #29: Matt Bywater
On August 16th, 2010 at 12:00 AM, just 24 hours before the midnight signing deadline, it looked more and more likely that Matt Bywater, the Orioles' 7th round pick, would go unsigned. However, with just four hours before the signing deadline, the Orioles and Bywater agreed to terms.
ON Top 50 Prospects – #30: Luis Lebron
After a very successful 2009 season where he posted 91 K's between Frederick and Bowie, Lebron looked to strengthen his prospect status with a strong 2010 before injuring himself in spring training ('10). He underwent Tommy John Surgery the following May and obviously missed the entire season.
ON Top 50 Prospects – #31: Luis Noel
After making a name for himself in '08, visa issues kept Noel in the Dominican Republic for all of '09, limiting him to the DSL. He returned to the U.S. in '10 and posted some impressive numbers at Delmarva, earning him a mid-season promotion to Frederick.
ON Top 50 Prospects – #32: Tim Berry
Tim Berry comes in at #33 in our top prospect countdown; he's a guy I've touched up on quite a bit. He was a 50th round draft pick in 2009, and a result doesn't receive much attention, although he should.
ON Top 50 Prospects – #33: Jaime Esquivel
Jaime Esquivel was one of eleven players in the Orioles' 2010 draft class to receiver over slot bonuses. The Orioles threw $225,000 his way in order to sign him away from his Rice commitment.
ON Top 50 Prospects – #34: Michael Ohlman
The Orioles' '09 11th round draft pick out of Lakewood Ranch HS, Michael Ohlman signed for $995,000 and made his pro debut in the GCL. With fellow catcher Justin Dalles injured at the beginning of '10, Ohlman was given the opportunity to start at catcher for the Shorebirds.
ON Top 50 Prospects – #35: Rick Zagone
One of the most consistent pitchers in the Orioles system, Rick Zagone has posted solid numbers every step of the way throughout his three year minor league career. He was a sixth round selection out of The Universtiy of Missouri back in 2008, signing to a $150,000 bonus.
ON Top 50 Prospects – #36: Ashur Tolliver
Like the majority of the Orioles' 2009 draft picks, Ashur Tolliver's season was hampered by injuries. A sore shoulder kept him in extended spring training and as a result wasn't able to open 2010 with the Shorebirds, as most expected.

Archive for the 'Kyosho' tag
Kyosho's latest run of 3-inch Ferraris has sold out before they even hit the streets
By now, you're likely aware of Kyosho's gorgeous 3-inch Ferrari models: picture-perfect representations of Cavallino Rampante favorites sold in "model kit" form – fully painted but unassembled die-cast cars that take about 30 seconds to put together. (Screws and the cutest little screwdriver you've ever seen are included.) Their Ferrari Series 8 models are here and include some doozies: a 458 Italia, F430 Scuderia Spyder 16M, F40GTE, 599XX, the wild Enzo GT concept, a 308QV in closed-roof GTB form (will a GTS be far behind?), a 512BB LM (there was a racing 512 on the grid at Le Mans in '79, recall; a correct livery is included in the mix) and, for the vintage Ferrari fans, a '58 250 Testa Rossa. Still a more modern grouping than we might like, but it's certainly making for a shockingly complete collection of the past 40 years of Ferrari, with selected highlights previous to the '70s. Each casting will be available in three colors, red and two alternates (usually black, yellow or a more metallic red) so there are really 24 models in all, but thanks to Kyosho's blind-box system, and display shippers of 20 cars, you'll need at least two shippers to get all the cars in all the colors.
And so the inevitable question comes: where do we find these jewels? We're not sure you can. Ordinarily, we'd suggest to comb international auction sites. But there's an awful one-two punch here. First, these aren't officially out until early July. Second, and here's the real heartbreaker, the entire pre-order run sold out in Japan in 30 minutes' time. Half an hour! Doubtless these will be sold on Western auction sites as well, probably individually through Hong Kong dealers out of the blind box, so keep an eye out. You can expect to pay considerably more than the 500 yen asking price (about $6.25) when you find 'em, however.
Stuttgart stormers: Few surprises in Kyosho's 1:64 scale Porsche lineup
It's not clever, but it works: Pioneering Japanese brand Kyosho is launching
its third 10-car set of Porsche models from the past and present.
By now, Kyosho's formula is established: four older street models, four
newer street models, and a pair of race cars. Oldies include two Speedsters:
a 356 and the '80s version, as well as an early 911R and (blessed be!) a
914 — not since the Playarts and Schucos of the early '70s has a small-scale 914 been available. Newer additions include a Cayman S, the hot 911 GT3 RS, and a pair of Turbos: they look like a 993 and 997 to us, but what do we know. The race cars are handled by the 911GT1 (in street colors, though) and a 936, which will be a nice addition in small-scale that's not been seen in
a while, and certainly not to Kyosho's quality.
Each is available in three correct colors. If you've seen Kyosho's stuff before, you'll know the quality is unassailable: separate headlamps, soft
tires on prototypical wheels, and delicate paint and decal work throughout
put these on par with $40+ 1:43 scale models. They're really that nice.
What's more, unlike just about every other extant diecast car maker, Kyosho doesn't issue endless series and repaint their cars a thousand times: This
release is quite possibly your only chance to get these castings.
If you haven't seen them in person before, beware: They're addictive, and they threaten to make most of the other stuff on your small-scale shelf look
like toys. They disappear almost instantly in Japan, so if you don't have a contact in that country who can score these for you, try www.hlj.com, www.toyeast.com, or else our Dutch pals at www.tinytoycars.com.

When worlds collide
For years now, we've touted Kyosho's amazing ability to bring both common and obscure international autos to new levels of small-scale detail. And
finally, they've turned their attention to the American market, releasing a
set called USA Muscle, in 1:64 scale. They're due at the end of the month.
Three colors of each casting will be available, save for the
internationally renowned Corvette C6-R racer, which has just two variants,
so a full set is (oddly) 29 cars. (There is no chase car, conspiracy
theorists, so don't even go there.) However, they come packaged in blind boxes of 20, meaning you either pays your money and takes your chances, and likely get two complete sets (one to keep, one to trade?), or else someone
is going to have to open the box for you and peek inside to ensure you're getting the right model.
Now, the American muscle car scene has been so inundated by quality makers over the past dozen years (Johnny Lightning, Greenlight, 100 percent Hot Wheels, the list goes on) and has covered the American performance-car market so thoroughly that, at first blush, the model list seems
unremarkable. We can justify the Bandit-era Trans Am (known only as Firebird here, probably so Kyosho doesn't run afoul of onerous SCCA licensing for the Trans Am name; I wonder whether the cars will be so lettered). But, of all
the classic Mustangs to do, the '71 Mach 1? Of all the Corvettes to do, the soft-bumper '78? Two flavors of '69 Camaro (Z/28 and SS)? Saleen S7? No Mopars, save for the Viper? Two cars (both Ford-powered) with their roots overseas — the Shelby Cobra and the GT40? Really? If your view of the muscle car is a mid-sized body with a full-sized-car engine, there isn't a single machine here that qualifies. Shoot, only the Camaros, Firebird
and Mustang are even four seaters.
But look a little deeper, and realize that, much like our own Hemmings Muscle Machines magazine, this isn't a look at the best or ultimate
Muscle cars of all time — it's a broader sweep of post-war American performance, incorporating international racing (GT40 Mk II, C6-R), and
multiple eras of American street performance legends. (We can only hope that
they're saving the '80s and '90s cars for a future release.) Keep in mind also that Kyosho models technically aren't licensed to be sold by Kyosho
outside of Japan, and this represents an interesting view into how the Japanese see American cars.
There is also the view, unspoken but assumed, that Kyosho's quality and attention to detail are going to make just about everything else look like
toys. For this reason alone, even if the subject matter repeats cars in your collection, they're worth seeking out and obtaining. Where to get them? Try
www.hlj.com, or www.toyeast.com, or else www.tinytoycars.com.

Maserati receives a small-scale overview, courtesy of Kyosho
One of the more criminally under-represented marques in small-scale has been Maserati. The storied racing marque and masters of the Gran Turismo-style road car have been represented here and there — Matchbox did a Bora in the '70s (frequently in plum with a sexy green baseplate), Tomica did a Merak, Hot Wheels has actually done three over the years (a Mistral, a late-model Quattroporte and an MC12), and a handful of small international brands have done a car or two (anyone seen Buby's rendition of the Maserati Indy lately?). But compared to current corporate stablemate Ferrari, Maseratis are few and far between in small scale.
Collectors, hollow out some space: Kyosho has announced its newest 10-car set in its popular Minicar lineup — and it's all Maserati. The collection starts in the '60s (sorry A6G and Fangio race-car fans) and features four mid-engine GT cars, four later-model machines, and two racers. The vintage GTs from the '60s and '70s, Ghibli, Bora, Khamsin and Merak, are all represented — and the Khamsin hasn't been done in small-scale before. An MC12, new Quattroporte, GranSport and Spyder (first time in small-scale for these last two) hold up the recent past. And the racers, an MC12 GT1 and a Birdcage, neither of which have been rendered in 1:64 previously, round out the ten. Each save the street MC12 is available in three colors; the MC12 is in its traditional white-and-blue.
There are of course some notable missing vehicles. Any of the pre-war racers. A Biturbo, never before done in small-scale. An early Quattroporte, ditto. A Kyalami. But that's all okay…it means there's plenty of room for an interesting second series, should Kyosho choose to travel that route. In the meantime, fans of the Trident have something to celebrate.
Keep in mind they won't be available until July, but you can see if Hobby Link Japan is allowing pre-orders, or else wait a while and check out www.toyeast.com for your fix.

Kyosho releases 10 VWs in 1:64 scale
Kyosho will offer a 10-car VW series including the classic air-cooled machines pictured above.
photo courtesy Kyosho
A wise old hand in the die-cast industry once told me that "a license to make
Volkswagen models is a license to print money." If that's the case, then Kyosho of Japan will be rolling in it when their new 10-car VW series hits
shops later this month. We predict this set will sell out at the same rate as their Ferrari sets do.
Ten castings are available in three colors each, split evenly between
air-cooled and water-cooled machines. Old-school VW lovers will dig the
Beetle 1303 coupe, the Beetle convertible, the Karmann Ghia coupe, the Type
2 Samba, and the Type 181 "Thing" (available in OD green…), while water-cooled fans will groove on the Mk I GTI, the New Beetle, the Nardo W12
concept, the Touareg, and the Golf R32. We expect Kyosho's typical attention to detail here, which means that these will be among the most detailed 1:64 scale models on a collector's shelf.
If there's any criticism, it's that we've seen most of these cars before, often in high-detail forms: The Beetle is ubiquitous in small-scale, but do
we really need another New Beetle or Touareg? That said, the R32 Golf will appear for the first time (there are plenty of Golfs of all generations in
small-scale, but nothing R32 specific), and the first-generation GTI is welcome at this level of detail.
Kyosho had made a single VW model previously — a Type 2 transporter available
with a variety of liveries. A larger VW license encompassing more models seemed inevitable. We would be very surprised if a second VW series were not launched later this year; the VW name is so iconic, and has so many cars
with so many fans, that it seems inevitable. We'd love to see a good Mk II GTI, a Corrado, a couple of more Beetle variants, an open Karmann Ghia, and a Dasher. But that's just us.
They're not actually licensed to be sold outside of Japan, so American shops won't carry them; may we suggest HobbyLink Japan at www.hlj.com, or else our
pals at www.toyeast.com. Or else make a friend in Japan.

Feeling blue? Kyosho's line of Nissan racers, will make everything OK
Love Nissans? Love race cars? Then listen up: Kyosho's outstanding,
long-lived 1:64 Minicars street car series has taken a turn toward the
race track with their upcoming Calsonic Nissan ten-car set.
All painted the distinctive signature bright blue hue (looks kinda like Petty Blue, doesn't it?), there appear to be seven castings in this series of ten cars: Two Super GT-series Fairlady Zs and three JGTC R34 Skylines join an R31 GTS-R
touring car, a GT-R R32 touring car, a '94 Primera (Infiniti G20 to us
Yanks) touring car, a JGTC-spec GT-R R33 Skyline, and an outstanding replica
of the twin-turbo-V-8 powered R92CP prototype racer, winner of the All-Japan
Sports Prototype championship in the car's debut race (and the series' final
season). Calsonic, a long-time sponsor of Nissan's home-market racing
activities and maker of various automotive components servicing the O.E.
manufacturers, is splashed all over the sides of each of these machines.
Anyone who has seen Kyosho's stuff in person knows that it's a relative
bargain: They're not cheap, but they regularly set the bar for premium 1:64
scale cars. And, considering that cars from Kyosho's own high-end Bead's
Collection run between $15 and $20, the notion that these clock in at less
than half that money is a steal. These have just hit, and will surely be
available at www.hlj.com and www.toyeast.com any day now.

Skyline insanity: Now Targa gets into the act
Targa's new Skyline die-cast offers detail not commonly offered by Japanese manufacturers
Among Japanese car nuts, marking the Skyline's half-century of existence must be on par with American histrionics over the Corvette's various anniversaries.
Ignoring the now-stemming tide of tuner models from various American manufacturers, how else can you explain the flood of new, small-scale Skyline-related die-cast products over just the past couple of years? Konami, Kyosho, Aoshima, Tamiya, and even Tomica, in their higher-end Limited Vintage lines, are happily going over some new ground (any four-door sedan or wagon variant, anything pre-KGPC10), and are sadly retracing the same steps again and again. Most of these are curbside models, and one is more fabulous than the next.
Tomica is breaking some new ground, however: By the end of the year, two variants of the new V36 Skyline sedan (sold here in the States as the Infiniti G35 sedan) will be available: a basic model in black, and a high-detail variant with chassis detail and prototypically correct wheels, both by Christmas. There's also a late-breaking six-car "mystery purchase" set of Skylines that includes, for only the second time, the Skyline 350GT (Infiniti G35) coupe — this time it's in blue with wide wheels. Thus far, this casting hasn't made it into the main 1-120 Tomica line; let's hope it does, and soon.
And now, looking to trump all others, there's a new company out there looking to wrest the detail crown from among the others: Targa. I'd know more if I could read Kanji, but it looks like the first three models (available in three colors each, plus one unannounced "secret color") are those old saws the '69 KPGC10 coupe, the '72 KPGC110 coupe, and the '89 GT-R R32.
Same o' same ol', right? Except that on these three, the hoods open, and you can peek inside and wrap your head around those marvelous powerplants that make the Japanese swoon. Granted, opening hoods have been pretty much standard issue on $3 Johnny Lightning cars for, oh, more than a decade now, but for the Japanese, this is a new direction of detail. Other than the Tomica basic-line's opening doors, which make for out of scale door gaps and the like, opening features are generally not a part of the newer small-scale Japanese die-cast experience. Targa seeks to change this. Bully for them.
Targa doesn't seem to have a Web site, but we suggest you check out our favorite haunts: www.toyeast.com, and hwww.hlj.com, for information on these beauties.

Spiders for Halloween
No, it's not some dodgy Halloween costume: Kyosho's Halloween-eve release of Ferraris (the fifth this year) consists entirely of pop-top machinery. It's light on the classics and the street-variant homologation racers, but still, Kyosho manages to get some models not done in small-scale before.
In the Miami Vice 1980s, how can no one have released a 365GTS4? (Yes, it's available in black. Yes, we know the Miami Vice Ferrari was a Corvette. Hush now.) The Mondial T cabrio is new, as well, and while the thought of another done-to-death Testarossa in our display case makes us groan, a Spider variant is a welcome change indeed. We've also never seen the Superamerica or a 348 Spider in small scale before. The others, F355 Spider, F50 Spider, F430 Spider, et al, have been seen — though surely not with the lavish attention to detail that Kyosho provides.
Kyosho is on track to release 60 1:64 scale street-car models by the end of the year — a fitting tribute to Ferrari's 60th anniversary indeed. Apparently, release #5 is already sold out in Japan. (No wonder Kyosho keeps mining that fertile ground.) Try places like Hobby Link Japan or ToyEast to get your hands on a set.

Audi you do? The mystery of Kyosho's Audi models
Not long ago, on everyone's favorite online auction site, a set of new
small-scale (1:64) Audis appeared, apparently made by one of our favorite
Japanese small-scale companies, Kyosho.
The Kyosho folks are usually pretty
good about letting everyone know what's new and what's coming next. Typically, rumors
circulate for a couple of weeks before the initial announcement in order to
generate interest. But discussions with an in-the-know Japanese collector
revealed nothing, and have served only to whet appetites, but nothing more.
And nothing about them appears on the Kyosho Web site, even if you
can navigate it.
To our eyes, this selection seems ripe for inclusion in their Minicar
Collection, the single-marque sets of 10 models that come in those charming
cardboard boxes and don't let you see what you're actually buying. Five new
models were shown: a new TT, an A5 coupe, a late-model A8 W12, an A3
sportback, and something that was represented (probably incorrectly) as an
A8 Avant. (Kyosho also has a high-dollar selection of models called Beads
Collection, featuring a variety of home-market Japanese performance cars.)
Some of these, like the A5 and the TT, will be the first versions of these
cars available in small scale.
Better pictures of some of the Audis appear here at the http://www.mboxcommunity.com/forums/showthread.php?t=44038&page=3&pp=10> Matchbox Collectors
Community Hall message-board,
thanks to a member who won some of the cars and photographed them. It sounds
like these were pre-pros that snuck out of the factory. (It wouldn't be the
first time!)
But seeing just five cars there (exactly half of a typical
ten-car set) leaves us to wonder: Will the whole series be Audi? Will there
be vintage Audi models as well? Which ones? Will there be models depicting
some of the great Rally wins of the 1980s? Or will the set be split between
Audi and VW? Kyosho has recently been making a series of early 1960s VW
Transporters for promo use … does this fit into the program somehow? Are
the other five coming from another factory? Check back in a couple of months
… all should be revealed by then!
(This post originally appeared in the September 20, 2007, issue of the Hemmings eWeekly Newsletter.)
Kyosho's Italian Tour
Kyosho continues to mine the fertile grounds of Italian automotive history for their continuing Minicar lineup. Having done well with Alfa Romeo and several series of Ferrari in 1:64 scale, they continue their tour of the boot and offer a new ten-car series starring Fiat and Lancia. The six Fiats
and four Lancias offer three colors (two, if they're race cars or race-based) of some classic machines.
The quality remains beyond reproach: true 1:64 scale (not sized to fit the
package…the little cars really ARE little), prototypical wheels on soft tires, separate headlamps, picture-perfect graphics and body markings, and more. They're very much on the top shelf of 1:64 today. And the model selection is good: While there are plenty of Stratos and Fiat 131 Abarth rally models around, there are far fewer of a Fulvia 1.6HF coupe (Playart's comes to mind but no one else's), and the Fiat 124 Spider, Fiat Dino Spider, and the Lancia Delta HF Integrale (none done in 1:64 scale, though Hongwell
recently did the Lancia in 1:72). Seldom seen in scale and good to have around are the Fiat 500F, Chris Bangle-designed Coupe and Panda, and the
Lancia 037 Group B rally monster. The good news here is that the Fiat Coupe, a dozen years old, is the newest model here: Mining the oldies is where it's at, for our money. No serious 1:64 scale die-cast collector can afford to be without a selection of these or any other Kyosho models in their collection.
The next series, scheduled to arrive shortly, is said to be more Ferrari models, with a concentration on newer and race-prepped variants. We got ours
in a private trade, but we suggest checking out our pals at Hobby Link Japan and ToyEast for availability. For more
information, check out www.kyosho.com.

Mom resumes lawsuit in son's border killing

The mother of a teenager shot to death two years ago by a Border Patrol agent said Monday she'll resume a federal lawsuit against Customs and Border Protection for negligence in her son's death. She and her attorneys also called on federal officials to change policies that dictate when agents can use deadly force.
Last year, a federal district court judge in Tucson stayed a suit filed by attorneys for Guadalupe Guerrero against Customs and Border Protection. The judge put the suit on hold pending a Department of Justice investigation into the shooting of Guerrero's son, Carlos LaMadrid, 19, by Border Patrol agent Lucas Tidwell on March 21, 2011.
Late Friday, Justice officials announced that the department would pursue neither criminal nor civil charges against Tidwell, nor against another agent who fatally shot Ramses Barron Torres, 17, in January 2011 in Nogales, Sonora.

We recently received some great bits of tantalizing information where we got to check out some new toys for the Blackberry Unlocked Smartphone OS 6 which comprised of the Blackberry OS 188.8.131.52. Although we have laid our eyes on the Blackberry 6 a number of times through various means, this has been probably one of the closer and more definitive looks that we have got for this product. The OS has not yet been completed as far as what we have seen from the reports that we have got. However the Facebook app and the entire app world is on its way. This new version apparently has better HTML capability for the emails that you want to send but we honestly have not got to see anything as such. The new feature which we found out was the virtual color coding of the messages which was pretty interesting.
Other than this there is also a nice way in which you can keep a check on all the applications which you use most frequently on your cell phone and which take up most of your app memory stock. There is also a rumor that this will come with 512 MB memory and we are hoping that this will allow better memory management in this device. Most notably there is one media application which seems to be new and is called the Web Video Search. This one comes with the OS 6 but we cannot say whether it is a preload from any carrier like Verizon. Irrespective of that, we like what this app provides users with, by giving them an easier way of enjoying YouTube and other similar video web pages.
We have also caught sight of some keypad demos which are pretty good. The Webkit browser is also something we have got reports of but right now, nothing is confirmed. However we can gather that the experience of browsing on the OS 6 is a great leap.

Twitter, Havlat, and a Chicago GM
Matin Havlat's recent updates are almost as good as a paperback novel, insinuating there is a major scandal about to break in Chicago.
" I guess everyone saw what happened to Dale....yes, the story is starting to come out but it's just the tip of the iceberg. "
" Lot's of people are telling me to stay quiet but shouldn't the fans know the truth? It's your loyalty, season ticket money and emotions here "
He also appears to allege the promotion of Stan Bowman to GM and reassignment of Dale Tallon to Senior Advisor is linked to his contract dispute.
" Just so everyone begins to understand, Dale was like a 2nd father to me. "
These posts may turn out to be exaggerations of the story, or just a heck of a lot of hype, but the suspense sure is crazy.
A few weeks ago On Frozen Blog ran a great article about Twitter's effect on the NHL. From fake player accounts to pre-press conference announcements, it has a huge impact on bringing the sport to more fans. (PLUG: you can follow myself, The DC Sports Page, and Big Money Tony too.)

Easy going, but also energetic (is that contradictory?), like the outdoors, enjoy one-on-one activities but can also get lost in a crowd. Ok, I need my space, too. Love to travel, love to think. Spend time in museums or flea markets, lectures, concerts. Affectionate, and good sense of humor. Like to dance, exercise and play sports.Some days I run like a racehorse, other days... I don't easily get upset, and have lots of patience. Have a thirst for making things better, taking stuff apart even if it doesn't need it!
Home improvements, house cleaning, gardening...somebody has to do it, right?
Am curious about lots: history, genealogy, people and places.

iHerb Customer Reviews
Pet Store Manager
5 people found the following review helpful
Posted by alloriginal on May 23, 2013
I've been a successful manager of a major pet store for over 14 years. I sell the Missing Link brand of products and have a great deal of experience with them. I am passionate almost to an extreme about pet health, and the lack of essential fatty acids in most pets' diet is something that I can get downright preachy about. The major ingrediant here is flax seed, which contains a good amount of omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids. Over time, this will improve skin and coat, protect joint helath, and generally provide better health. The sunflower seed, carrot, barley and acidophilus, in lesser amounts, provide useful nutrition too. Start small and work up gradually (over a month or so)to a full serving. It is almost tasteless and your pet won't mind you sprinkling a bit in their food. I believe that nutritional supplements saved my life. I've tried a lot of products, and I know what works and what doesn't. My reviews are honest, straighforward, and based on my experience. Read my other reviews to quickly learn from my three decades of research and experimentation.

"Our findings open up the option to study whether returning miR-4423 levels to normal in the airway could help stop cancer growth and potentially be a way to treat lung cancer," said Catalina Perdomo, PhD, a researcher in the division of computational biomedicine at BUSM who is the paper's lead author.
"Interestingly, when we examined the genomes of other species for microRNAs that might function like miR-4423, we did not find anything in non-primates," said Marc Lenburg, PhD, an associate professor in computational medicine and bioinformatics at BUSM who is one the study's senior authors. "It makes us wonder what it is different about lung development in primates and excited that this could be a very specific process to target for lung cancer treatment."

|Oh come on. This climb deserves lotsa stars. It's super pumpy for beginners, super consistent at the grade, and there isn't a single thing about it that a person could find objectionable besides the fact that it could be twice as long and, thus, twice as fun. It's a fine piece of rock climbing goodness.

I was talking with a guy at miguel's and he said alot of routes like this are getting harder now because they are climbed so much that the sandstone is just wearing away.
I feel the same way about these "5.9s" They were harder than half the 10s i climbed there... i think they were harder than some 11s i climbed as well.
