Reading Digest: No End to Licensed Merchandise Edition
"Oh, Dad, you must've bought me every Malibu Stacy accessory there is!" – Lisa Simpson
"Not quite. They were out of Malibu Stacy lunar rovers." – Homer Simpson
This week we've got links to more designer t-shirts, Lego knockoffs, a crappy alarm clock, a small "collector's" model of Powell Motors' last design, and I think I forgot a couple. Also, we've got two links from Australians who've gotten their first taste of Moe's and Duff. (If this keeps up all the way through the actual 25th anniversary in December, I may have to re-title these posts "Merchandising Digest".) Fortunately, that's not all we've got. There are several cool fan made items as well, including NHL logos, embroidery, and an actual Zombie Bart. Oh, and the Bartkira project released a teaser book. There's also some behind the scenes information about "The Cartridge Family", a great reference, and an actual Springfield getting a Simpsons mural.
Simpsons gun episode: "The Cartridge Family" was kind to the NRA, but they didn't get it (VIDEO). – Smooth Charlie's Link of the Week is this blog post about "The Cartridge Family" that includes Scully explaining a few things:
Scully says that the NRA sent an angry letter to the Simpsons staff, proving that the organization didn't get it. "It's like they didn't watch the show," Scully says.
Moe's Tavern – Woolloomooloo Bay Hotel – Pictures from that mini-launch of Duff in Australia, including kegs of the stuff.
Had some Duff Beer at Moe's Tavern, Springfield – More of the above, including a great look at the menu.
Bart Simpson zombie – Cool (and creepy) fan made drawing.
BARTKIRA – The Bartkira project has released a short book as it continues its massive task. Only $15.
Bart Simpson Embroidery – Excellent fan made Bart. The look on his face is great. I can picture him saying "Yessum".
Colette x ELEVENPARIS – More new fancy t-shirts. These are from the same company as that all blue Marge one. They aren't as good as that one, but they're not terrible either.
BREWING UP SOME FUNK: Grand Funk Railroad's Don Brewer talks about the early days and sweet, sweet Connie – Don Brewer is aware of Homer's opinion of his competent work:
CRAIG: How does it feel to have Homer Simpson as a big fan of yours?
BREWER: (LAUGH) I was honored. When they sent me the script for that episode they wanted to use one of my songs, "Shinin' On." And I read what (Homer) was going to say about each guy in the band. And he was telling his kids about Grand Funk Railroad, and I was like, wow. I guess we are Americana now.
Steve Sax gets tiny residual checks from his appearance on classic Simpsons – Heh:
Steve Sax tells @Midday180 he gets quarterly residual checks from the Simpsons worth $0.45 to $0.73.
Back in my day, that was a lot of money. Really? Nah.
SDCC 2014: Simpsons and James Bond Hot Wheels Exclusives are Announced – And the prize for this year's "First Mention of Comic Con" goes to Mattel:
Mattel has started to announced their Hot Wheels SDCC 2014 exclusives!
Hot Wheels The Homer ($30)
Hot Wheels proudly presents The Homer from everyone's favorite cartoon show "The Simpsons." This vehicle is a faithful reproduction in awesome collectible packaging of the Homer Simpson-designed car "that's everything the average man ever dreamed of!"
ak47_studios on Instagram – It's NHL logos remade with Simpsons characters. Lisa as the Rangers is pretty damned good, but the cake might have to go to Wiggum as the Mighty Pigs, er Ducks. (via @johncessna)
The Simpsons – The Simpsons section at the Florida theme park has been such a success that they're building one in the California theme park. Here are some under construction pictures.
HOMER SIMPSON Animated Clock 8 by 11 inches – Another poorly built alarm clock that cannot be plugged in. I suppose they didn't want it to get incredibly hot.
Simpsons soccer parody: The episode "The Cartridge Family" is history's best soccer satire. – It is pretty good.
Did the Simpsons predict Cryptocurrency back in 1997? – Not really, but it's a nice thought.
Game #1 – 4 in 1 (Super Famicom) – A writeup of a weird old, Japanese game cartridge that misidentified the Simpsons game that was on it. Also, excellent usage:
Also, since this picture was taken, the label has fallen off. Bah, cheap weatherstripping!
Interview with Johnny Cupcakes on The Simpsons Official Collaboration – Small number of baking products, large number of t-shirts.
Simpsons mural coming to town – Cool:
The city announced Friday that a mural featuring the animated family, created with input from TV series creator Matt Groening, will be painted on the west side of the Emerald Art Center at Fifth and Main streets.
A print artist who works for 20th Century Fox Television, which helps produce and airs the show, is completing the original artwork that will serve as the basis for the mural.
A show publicist said it's most likely the artwork won't be released publicly before the completion of the mural in mid-September. Laudati said the artwork will depict Homer lounging in a hammock, Bart climbing a tree, Marge painting, and Lisa and Maggie riding a bike.
That's Springfield, Oregon, by the way.
Just Because… – Heh.
New Addition to the Family – More merchandise, this time "Diamond Blocks".
Homer's Enemy: The ballad of Frank Grimes – Our old friend Stefen Grasso writes up one of the turning point episodes of the series.
Trivia pursuits: Really specific bar trivia around Brooklyn – Go classic Simpsons trivia:
Perhaps the most specific trivia night in the whole borough, Woo Hoo! Classic Simpsons Trivia on the first Thursday of the month at Williamsburg's Berry Park tests contestants' exclusively on episodes of "The Simpsons" from the '90s. Battle it out with teams such as "Allied Biscuit," "Team Discovery Channel," and "The Neglecterinos." If you don't get those references, this isn't the trivia night for you.7:30 pm at Berry Park [4 Berry St. between N. 14th and N. 13th streets in Williamsburg, (718) 782–2829, www.berryparkbk.com]. $10 per team, $5 solo players.
Granola, which many may choose as a healthy breakfast, has more than 400 calories – I like how the illustrate their story on crappy eating with a picture of box after box of Krusty-Os.
Has anyone found missing Bart Simpson doll? – That's sad:
Elaine said: "Bart is 25 years old and was a character bought for my son who is now 28!
"It has been packed away safely in my cupboard over many years now.
"Having decided to pass it on to my two-year-old grandson, it was lost on its first day out in the region of the Sure Start children's centre and Hill Street.
Syndicated TV Ratings: 'Judge Judy' Again Number One in Households & Viewers & 'Dr. Phil' Top Talker for Week Ending May 25, 2014 – Ratings – One suspects that these are ratings the show would still do quite well in:
Why Aren't The Simpsons on This List?!
While The Simpsons repeats are available nationally its ratings are not counted in the weekly syndicated ratings because The Simpsons does not sell any national advertising in syndication.
Reading Digest: Super Bowl Menagerie Edition
"It's a touchdown for halfback Dan Beerdorf! Duff Dry has won the Duff Bowl!" – Commercial Announcer
"They wanted it more." – Moe
As we here in America approach one of our most sacred high holy days, the internet responded with a torrent of Simpsons/football related links, references and usage. There's even one for the Super Bowl's hapless sibling, the Pro Bowl. In addition to that, we've a whole bunch of cool fan made stuff, most of which comes from an awesome Reddit collection of a painter who does Simpsons requests, a funny interview with Shearer, a harmless Zombie Simpsons-Super Bowl promo, and the first Choo-Choose Valentine's link of the year.
And Now For Something Completley Different……. Vol. 2: Will The Real Mr. Sparkle Please Stand Up? – Smooth Charlie's Link of the Week is this brief collection of real life Mr. Sparkles, everything from window washers and women's underwear to arm tattoos. Cool.
I make real life Simpsons paintings for fun and here are few I made last year (including some that were commissions from this subreddit!) – A collection of fan made paintings and similar from Reddit. My favorite is probably #14, the actual Super Nintendo painted to look like Chalmers. The whole collection is fantastic. (Many thanks to reader Jodi for sending this in!)
Harry Shearer: Nixon didn't like blacks, Jews, communists, the French… – Shearer is the best:
How long has The Simpsons got left? We'll be on the air until Fox finds another comedy show that can work at 8pm on Sunday – so I'll say another 55 years. There are people who have voted in several elections who are younger than our show at this point.
Has anyone unexpected said they're a fan of the show? I don't talk to presidents or popes so I don't know. What I find most interesting is if someone asks me to do one of the voices, whether they're a five-year-old girl or a 70-year-old man, when they see the voice come out of a human body they all get the same look of bewilderment, surprise and delight. It's really fun to see that.
Guess Who? – The beginnings of a Lisa (or Maggie) cross stitch. And she's doing one of Chef Bender as well. Don't forget to post the final results.
The Grammies Apparently Happened Recently – Now this is coverage of music industry self promotion I can get behind:
Legal Disclaimer: Mr. Simpson's opinions do not reflect those of the producers, who don't consider the Grammy an award at all
Excellent usage.
(A late!) Sunday Night Sketchbook 26/01/14 – Scroll halfway down for a cool fan made sketch of Ralph after he grew up to be a caterpillar. (Also, the Iron Giant one is pretty damn cool.)
What If Our Favorite Fictional Characters Aged and/or Kept Up With The Times – Heh:
6) In 'The Simpsons', Bart and Lisa would be in their early to mid thirties. Bart would probably be finishing up a five to ten year stint in Springfield State Prison or beginning a career in politics. Lisa would probably have 2 or 3 PhD's and well on to a Nobel Prize winning career.
Woo Hoo!! – Heh. Nobody better dis your fly girl.
You Choo Choo Choose Me? – If you're planning on sending out the perfect Wiggum Valentine's Day card, now you can.
The Simpsons Take A Trip To The Super Bowl With Everyone's Favorite New Girl – There's a Super Bowl video with some of the Simpson characters in it. It's mildly amusing in places, and, more importantly, short. There's even a joke about football overruns being the only thing that's keeping FOX a network. I guess admitting that football overruns are the only thing keeping Zombie Simpsons from disappearing completely would've been too close to home.
The Year of the Backlog – A post about a daunting number of unwatched famous movies:
I can't run from the fact that I haven't seen a lot of very poI can't run from the fact that I haven't seen a lot of very popular and culturally significant movies. No wonder, as I spent the majority of my childhood and teenage years either skipping films altogether or watching the same ones over and over again. This offered me nothing more than the ability to recite Aladdin or Home Alone from beginning to end without skipping a beat. This is a valuable skill, no doubt, but it didn't provide me much in the way of variety or the opportunity to discover new genres that I might have actually enjoyed. Most of my classic film knowledge exists only through reference or parody, and I owe shows like The Simpsons a great deal for keeping me in the loop. I never watched The Shining, but I knew almost word for word and shot for shot the popular lines and scenes from the Stanley Kubrick classic.
Don't feel bad. Lots of people, myself included, learned about a ton of movies from The Simpsons.
Part 119: Cereal – A blog about being single is missing out on some of life's great pleasures:
There are all sorts of things that other people do and tell you about – in conversation or in blogs or in newspaper columns or similar – which they appear to find pleasurable, but which you have thus far failed to enjoy. Things such as fellatio, The Simpsons and any film the Coen brothers have ever made. Once or twice a year you try them out – because they do seem to make all the other people happy – although you really should have the courage of your convictions by now.
I can't speak to blowjobs and award winning black comedies, but as for The Simpsons , give it a try at the start of Season 2 with "Bart Gets an F" and go from there. The world is far too polluted with Zombie Simpsons for any other try to really count.
Super Bowl Sunday is About More Than You Think – A Super Bowl without beer is like a blog post without a .gif of Homer running around an overturned beer truck.
Flashback: Joe Giudice v. Joe Gorga Fight Voiced by Chief Wiggum & Moe – "He's Bitin' My Nuts, WTF?!" – This is from a while ago, but I'd never seen it before. It's Azaria doing voices over one of those fake fights on a reality show. Kinda funny to hear Moe says, repeatedly, "He's biting my nuts."
Super Bowl Science: Could A Seahawk Beat A Bronco? And Other Important Nerdy Football Questions – Yet more gimmicky Super Bowl previews, but this one invokes Lisa:
In the words of Lisa Simpson, "what could be more exciting than the savage ballet that is pro football?" Perhaps the science of that savage ballet!
Excellent usage.
7 TV Joke Products That Became a Reality – The Leftorium and Tomacco make the list.
The Divine Comedy of the Pro Bowl – And finally, I get to end the way I like, with someone who agrees with us in this comparison of the sad state of the Pro Bowl and Zombie Simpsons:
The NFL Pro Bowl's ill-fated demise is like tuning into a new Sunday night episode of the Simpsons.
It's easy to recall a time when these showings were once compelling and even entertaining—albeit, during a time when our insight for amusement hinged on pedantic catchphrases and unfulfilled promises. But for the better part of the last two decades, both stagnant spectacles have nose-dived into a Homer Simpson-sized groove.
They're outdated, overplayed, and they should have been axed ages ago.

Sorry for the late Reading Digest, everybody. I hope your Friday at work/school/whatever wasn't too dull without it. This post was originally going to contain a link to the first Kindle issue from the spinoff site, but Amazon appears to be having some difficulties and it looks like it's not going to be ready today. So here's a regular Reading Digest post instead.
The good news is that the internet was bountiful this week. We've got several people reviewing old episodes, YouTube interviews with both David Silverman and James L. Brooks, two different real life Moe's Taverns opening (one licensed, the other not), fully legal video of "The Longest Daycare", several people who agree with us, real life patented, space age, out of this world moon waffles, and, a Simpsons themed podcast featuring previous DHS guest authors Lenny Burnham and Wesley Mead.
Homer Simpson's Patented Space Age Out of This World Moon Waffle – Smooth Charlie's Link of the Week is this piece of internet genius wherein someone actually made Homer's moon waffles! Mmmm, liquid smoke.
Podcasts – Secret Lover – Our old friend Lenny's television podcast takes on the best show ever. The link above is to iTunes, but you can also visit the main website here.
Top Twenty Simpsons Episodes (According to Me) – Great list with lots of quotes and context and not a trace of Zombie Simpsons.
The Longest Daycare Now Online – Well, they didn't win an Oscar, but you can now watch the whole Maggie short on FOX's official YouTube account:
Bitching about the Academy Awards is a pointless as it is possible to be, but that is way better than Paperman.
David Silverman on Guiding 'The Simpsons' to the Oscars via 'The Longest Daycare' – A twenty-five minute interview with David Silverman. It starts with how he got started as an animator and how he got involved with the show and moves up through the short, including one of the best explanations for 3D I've ever heard. (That starts around the 11:00 mark.)
I liked this exchange:
Interviewer: So, just we're gonna do a short, might as well do it in 3D?
Silverman: Oh, yeah, I mean, it pays well.
James L. Brooks on His 'Simpsons' Journey, from 'Tracey Ullman' to the Oscars – The same guy interviewing Brooks. The story about drunken David Silverman at the Christmas party comes in around the 9:00 mark.
My Kind of Nerds. – A salute to nerds includes this cool Simpsons cross stitch from Flickr user the.barb:
The Simpsons: Tapped Out becomes one of the highest grossing games in Google Play – Merchandising, merchandising, where the real money from the TV show is made:
Even though it has only been a few weeks since the game launched on Android, it has already become one of the highest grossing games in Google Play. The Simpsons: Tapped Out is currently the third highest grossing game in Google Play behind Blood Brothers and Candy Crush Saga. On Monday evening, it had gotten as high as #2. It's also in the #6 position of Google Play's "top free" section in the games category.
Before The Simpsons: Tapped Out came to Android, it managed to bring in over $23 million in one quarter on the iOS platform.
28 Funny Products Spotted on The Simpsons – Pretty much what it says, with only one from Zombie Simpsons.
Senators organist a fan of The Simpsons – As this game between the Canadiens and the Senators went to the first intermission, the organist played them off with the Simpsons theme, and the link has video.
The Simpsons as First Time Buyers – Comparing the Simpsons buying a home in "Lisa's First Word" with the actual process.
The Simpsons Movie (2007) – A review of the movie that also agrees with us:
I have been a Simpsons fan since before the cartoon even came out. I still remember the Butterfinger commercials, announcing the "coming" of the animated show. The series started off strong and really hit its stride in the mid-to-late nineties and then, I felt, lost some of its edge with shows like Family Guy being more bold and edgy. I did notice the Simpsons start to do this but not too much (as Family Guy sometimes does).
The movie was great in the first half, but lost its momentum.
Why no TV show should go beyond five seasons – I think you can see where this is going:
That's not to say that a show can't have a good season past five, it's just that I don't know of any shows which have their best season that far into their run. Friends, one of the longest running sitcoms, peaked earlier than five seasons. The Simpsons, the longest running show on tv, is way past its best, which could be found in the first five seasons.
I wouldn't say it's just the first five, but that's a pretty good rule of thumb.
The Simpsons Super Review – Another attempt to watch all the episodes:
For now I just want to say thanks for reading, buckle up, and try to enjoy the ride. I have a feeling things will start to get bumpy after about 13 seasons. We'll have to start drinking heavily. Together.
Indeed. (Also, thanks for the link.)
The Simpsons – "Cape Feare" – Looking back at a very good episode:
I can't help but feel so very nostalgic while watching this episode. The 90′s was my childhood, despite the occasional grown up content, I would always park my arse on the sofa when The Simpsons came on the TV when I was a kid.
Bart's Comet (TV Episode Review) (1995) – True:
The signs on the balloon states Big Butt Skinner, which got me laughing… I still find it funny. Today, Skinner would've easily got Constance Harms to do his dirty work
Corey Hotline – Yet another review from long ago:
Lisa eventually beat her addiction as most people do by simply making it to midnight without calling. Ya hear that alcoholics? Yeah, it's that easy. Apparantly your twelve steps should be not drinking from noon till midnight and you will be cured. You are welcome.
Picture: Chief Wiggum and Ned Flanders were in the crowd at the Milan derby last night – Well done, Italian soccer hooligans:
AC Milan and Inter Milan went head to head in the San Siro last night and although they couldn't be separated on the pitch, the Rossoneri won the battle in the stands with a brilliant banner featuring Chief Wiggum and Ned Flanders from The Simpsons that was passed around by the AC Milan fans.
Click through for the impressive picture.
Simpsons – Koala (gif) – Animated .gif of the stowaway helicopter koala from "Bart vs. Australia".
The 2013 Oscars…In 10 Words – Too bad that delightful Billy Crystal wasn't involved.
Duck Dynasty…In 10 Words – The men of the 9th Bearded Reality Show were sunning and fluffing their beards . . .
Embiggen – Using the word to make map art (assuming that's a thing).
It's Moe's, of course | Our Springfield gets a version of Homer Simpson's favorite bar – Springfield, Oregon is getting a bar called "Moe's", though one presumes that for legal reasons that's where the similarities will end.
'The Simpsons' and the Birth of the Modern Animated TV Comedy – The dangers of sponsored content:
This post is brought to you by Out There, airing Fridays at 10:30/9:30c on IFC.
The rest of it reads like a poorly edited Wikipedia history of network animation. It meanders around and doesn't go beyond the most cursory of outlines before ending with a tease for part two. I understand that times are tough and everybody's gotta earn bread, and Jebus knows I'm no expert, but crappy, lowest common denominator content is never a good idea.
MACGYVER: Paperclips, Marge Simpson's sisters, and bringing back the mullet – A publicity interview for Richard Dean Anderson ahead of a visit to a comic convention in Australia.
'The Simpson's' Nancy Cartwright Slated to Host Boys & Girls Club Fundraiser – Pretty much what it says. They're trying to collect enough quarters to stretch around a mall in California.
Top Twenty Favorite Opening Themes – The show checks in at #10 here, and there's plenty of good YouTube.
More of Springfield is coming to Universal Orlando – Restaurants inspired by 'The Simpsons' are being constructed – This is from "Orlando Attractions Magazine", but it looks like Moe's, a Krusty Burger, and possibly even the Gulp 'N Blow are coming to Florida.
Bart Simpson Defense – If you're tired of playing Tapped Out, here's a definitely unlicensed Simpsons defense game. Basically, Nelsons are attacking and you have to stop them. It has little to nothing to do with the Simpsons, but it's fairly clever.
"Me fail English? That's unpossible!" – A detailed breakdown of Ralph's most famous quote.
Bart's Hut – Simpson graffiti on a train station in (I think) Germany.
The Decline Of The Simpsons – Yup:
Classic Simpsons had heart and the characters had layers, now they are all one dimensional jokes. Homer for example, used to be a buffoon but showed he loved his family. Nowadays he throws Bart into a lions pen, gets annoyed whenever he has to do even the lightest of family duties, and is very self centered and obnoxious.
Reboot Something That Matters: The Simpsons – And finally, I get to end the way I like, with someone who agrees with us:
In my life, few things have left as big a mark on me as a person as The Simpsons. I've seen so many episodes and up until the last couple seasons, they've been incredible. I know, everyone with a blog complains about how its "just not the same", but hey, have you seen the last 3 seasons or so? They're not funny.

Posted by Josh Katzowitz
In the debate about whether Steelers WR Hines Ward is a tough, gritty, blue-collar WR who makes hard, but clean blocks on defenders or a dirty, cowardly head hunter, I usually lean toward the former.
I'm pretty sure a wide variety of players – like Jets LB Bart Scott, Ravens S Ed Reed and Bengals LB Keith Rivers, all of whom have been hammered by Ward – would disagree with my assessment.
You can add Jets defensive coordinator Mike Pettine to the list.
"Our guys I think called him the toughest guy in the league when nobody's looking," Pettine said, via ESPN New York.
Considering Ward was voted by his peers in Sports Illustrated as the dirtiest player in the league, Pettine's comment might have some merit. That doesn't mean the "tough, gritty, blue collar" thing is wrong, though.
"That works for them," Pettine said. "He's kind of the spark that gets them going and we are well aware of it."

and for the record Ben has not been charged with any crimeGive me a break!
The guy was at a college bar in a small town with an entourage of bodyguards, that is straight up sexual predator behavior.
And the comment about how Bengals fans should basically not be allowed to participate?
My concern would be how CBS allows people who are advocates of rape and sexual misconduct like yourself on here.
And do us all a favor and stop acting like you EVER played football.

Jets think Hines Ward is rather dirty
two things 1st if i were a wide receiver i would be looking for pay back too, every person hines has hit has tried to knock him out before every defender wants to knock someone out, my favorite player was ronnie lott he went for the knock out every chance he got. so reaves is just a whinner it comes from the new nfl style, if your afraid that you might get hurt or shorten your life expectancy well then don't play but football is a game of collisions and will always be so who can forget the day where the real LT broke joe T. leg ending his playing career but you don't hear him whinning. scott from the jets said last week he wanted to injury welker, and we all know how james from your team feels about hitting, and quite frankly thats what makes the game so great, so i'm not saying go rip there head off but if you get a chance at a clean shot on an opposing player by all means give him a slobber-knocker. as for big ben your right he wasn't convicted of any crime but its not a crime to make stupid mistakes, and be an ass or else we all would have records for some of our own dumb behavior

Jets think Hines Ward is rather dirty
okay, today's the day the jets wake up from this incredible delusion. it's time to put a stop to all this crazy talk of the jets playing in the super bowl. that was 42 years ago (i was just cutting teeth)! the Steelers will give the jets some REAL reality tv and a one-way flight back to new jersey. jets fans can take some comfort in knowing that their team will NEVER LOSE a Super Bowl... because they'll never get there again. let's keep that 42-year streak of futility going strong. let's send fireman ed and his band of green-clad dreamers back to the Big Apple with the knowing that they are counting on the heartbreaking J-E-T-S!
take note: Hines Ward hits hard like a dirty player, but he squares up on people. ask Ed Reed. if you are just standing around on the field and not paying attention, you're gonna get clocked. just because the guy is a wide receiver, it doesn't mean he can't put you into the dirt. keep you head up and please stop whining about how hard the Steelers hit. we've been hearing that song all season long.

Look at film coverage and you will see that a majority of Wards hits are clean. Yes there may be some players that are'nt appreciative on the receiving end of a bone jarring hit but your paychecks should compensate for the damage.

Crossroads fire leaves 160 homelessComment on this story
CAPE TOWN Jan 18 Sapa
A fire in Crossroads, Cape Town, left 160 people without homes on Wednesday afternoon, the city's disaster risk management centre said.
Spokesman Wilfred Solomons-Johannes said the fire started on the Old Klipfontein road in the Lusaka informal settlement at 3.30pm.
A total of 45 shacks were gutted. No casualties were reported.
"The overhead electricity network infrastructure was also damaged by the fire. That affected the supply of power to the area."
Solomons-Johannes said technicians soon restored the power supply.
Food, blankets and clothing were provided for those affected. The cause of the fire was unknown.

So It's been a while since my last post. I'm still in Germany sorting out a few things unrelated to audio. I'm still able to work on sound design for Sirius Online, and a few important things will get done before next update. A lot is going on right now outside of the audio realm of Sirius Online so be sure to check it out! Things are really starting to look great!

Atletico routs Bilbao, wins Europa League
Atletico Madrid has brushed aside Athletic Bilbao 3-0 in the all-Spanish final of the 2012 UEFA Europa League at the National Arena in Bucharest to win the trophy for the second time in three years. Atletico's first goal came in the seventh minute when their prolific Colombian striker Radamel Falcao received the ball on the right side of the box, made space for himself with a delicate step-over and curled a sumptuous effort into the top corner of the goal. Falcao then doubled his own and his team's tally on the 34th minute when he blasted home from close range. That was his 12th goal of the competition, confirming him as the tournament's top scorer for the second campaign running. The Red and Whites then spent the final hour keeping Bilbao at bay until Diego put the match beyond any doubt five minutes from time with a fine strike. Atletico Madrid won the tournament for the first time in 2010, beating Fulham at the HSH Nordbank Arena in Hamburg, Germany. The UEFA Europa League is the second most prestigious European club football contest after the UEFA Champions League. HMV/HJL

Lieutenant Commander
Location: Somewhere in the future
Re: Star Trek: Nightingale
Stardate 53128.2
USS Nightingale, Bridge
John tightly held onto the arm rests as the young Lieutenant counted down to the time that they would reach the battle area. John had given his crew very little warning about this battle, but yet everyone was getting ready admirably. John looked on the screen as Williams had placed the sensor data he was getting straight onto a tactical map of the system. John couldn't help but cheer on the Geckonians as every spark against a Gorn vessel resulted in another obstacle being eliminated. It was a thought that John had become accustomed too now, thinking of a hostile force as nothing more than obstacles. It allowed their losses to dwell on the mind less. He also felt the pain as every Geckonian vessel was destroyed too, they were allies and the only friends they had at the moment. He had not yet found a way to subside the feelings he had about friends.
John watched with intent as he battle unfolded in front of him, he was only a couple of minutes out and the battle was very young, but the strategies of both sides were very apparent. The Gorn were trying to split to the Geckonians into smaller, more manageable groups and the Geckonians were trying to take on the Gorn head on. John thought it was strange that the Geckonians weren't aware that the Gorn vessel's main weakness was the rear, where the hull was highly vulnerable to torpedo fire. The movement of the two groups of ships seemed like a dance and John couldn't help but notice that the Geckonian commander was doing his best to keep his fleet in one piece.
John knew from the tactical information being relayed to him that the heavy cruiser that Slov had been commanding was not in the fleet, nor were any of the Gorn ships like the one he commanded. From what information that his science officer could get was that the ships they were facing were standard Gorn cruisers, far less sophisticated and with weaker weapons and hull. Hans had run his own analysis of the Gorn vessels, and determined that the rear of these vessels were just as fragile, if not more, than that of Slov's flagship.
"Tactical," John said, "Send a message to the Geckonian flagship; tell them to concentrate their fire on the rear of the Gorn vessels," John looked at Hans, "Any idea on how we can actually fight in this battle Commander?" He asked hesitantly, committing the
into battle and her being able to slug it out, were two completely different things.
"We've got the two forward phasers back online to ninety six percent," Hans replied confidently, "And we're able to fire a torpedo every minute now."
John could only muster a sceptical look; they may have weapons, but they were in a pitiful state to say the least. But it did not matter, they were in a dire situation and it was best to engage the enemy when they had lots of friends than when they had none. "What about shields?"
"Still at ninety per cent," replied Hans smiling, "But I would rather have these shields at ninety percent than a galaxy's at one hundred."
John shook his head.
"One minute," shouted Lieutenant Visitor from the front of the bridge. She barely looked up at the screen, which could now show the position of the Nightingale on with every other ship in the battle zone. If the readings were correct, and John hoped to hell they were, they should be coming up to the centre of the Geckonian lines. John had noticed that the Geckonians were slightly changing their tactics with small groups of their destroyers breaking off into squadrons and attempting to get in-between the Gorn targeting their rear areas.
John instinctively turned round when the turbo lift doors slid loudly open. In the doorway stood the bruised figure of the Ensign Torlik, his face still showing the signs of the burns he had received. "Ensign Torlik," John addressed the man in as neutral fashion as possible, he had hoped to control the next meeting between the two of them in order to get some answers out of him, "What the hell are you doing out of sickbay?"
"Doctor released me sir," he said, standing stiff at attention.
"She said you could report for duty?" John questioned. John couldn't imagine Doctor Burton releasing a man, who was obviously still suffering from severe injuries. He noticed some of his clothes were still ragged from his earlier fight with the equipment he had on deck seven.
"She didn't say I couldn't," Torlik replied giving a wry smile.
"Report to your station," John said giving the man a nod. Whatever Torlik had said or done to get himself out of sickbay, he had come on duty, John could think of a hundred officers he knew that would not bother with such injuries.
Torlik took his station as if it was a normal day, replacing a senior non commissioned officer who took another station across the bridge. John then turned his attention back to the view screen, noting mere seconds were all that stood between his ship and battle again.
Stardate 53128.2
Outer region of Geckonian Space
The large shining orange hulk of the Gorn vessel bore down on its prey like an owl onto a shrew. It had the strength of its weapons and the accuracy of the finest tactical officers in the fleet. Her Captain was proud, her crew were fine. Now Geckonian vessels were been laid waste by their experience and dedication to the cause. She had seen numerous battles, fought many enemies, but none had been as personal to her crew or as gratifying as this single conflict. As another lame enemy vessel collapsed under her weight of power, her crew felt invincible.
But in their glory came complacency. In their victory came recklessness. In the heat of battle had come clumsiness. She had been allowed to stray too far from her own lines and that of her sister ship's covering fire. By the time that her crew had realised they were in a perilous position it was too late. In the moments that it took to adjust their course to take them back to their assigned position and safety, they were hit in near the starboard nacelle by phaser fire. The next hit, a quantum torpedo on the exhaust manifold, ignited the expending plasma that engulfed the proud ship in a plume of fire that erased her and her crew from any future existence.
Her slayer, a Federation vessel, glided past the burning wreckage.
Stardate 53128.2
USS Nightingale, Bridge
"Good shot Lieutenant," John shouted across to his gleaming tactical officer, "Helm take us about three six mark one zero six," he ordered, taking them on a course to get them right into the middle of the Geckonian lines.
Lieutenant Visitor nodded and the ship lurched itself into a new direction. John felt the temporary G force squeeze his stomach as the inertia dampers caught up with the movements. A sudden display of sparks from an unmanned area of the bridge brought his thoughts back to the idea that they were now close to the battle.
"Shields are holding," reported Shrak, "But we're got three Gorn cruisers on our stern," she cautiously announced. From that position they were
John got off his chair and stepped forward nearer to the helm station, his eyes fixed on to the screen that showed the aggressors, in a standard arrowhead formation, chasing his ship. "Lieutenant, I want you to pump as much juice as you can into the starboard impulse engine and shunt the port impulse engine into reverse on my order," John gave a wicked smile before looking back at his executive officer who returned the gesture with a small nod of his head.
"Tactical, prepare to fire on the Captain's order, all weapons at the lead vessel," Hans stated, turning his attention squarely on the tactical officer.
Another spark shot across the room, missing John by inches, but nothing would dissuade him from his plan. "Helm, now!"
The ship lurched as it started to turn in an anticlockwise motion. John felt the creaks in the new ship, as started a manoeuvre that she was not suppose to be able to complete. He attempted to subside the feeling of nausea by watching the view screen that was firmly fixed on their pursuers and kept on his feet only by the aid of the edge of the helm station. John smiled as the Gorn ships flew past the Nightingale, slowing down, but not able to react fast enough in his planned change in direction. As the Nightingale completed a third spin, the Gorn were fully in front of the Nightingale, he patted on Chloe's shoulder to stop the spinning and turned to Shrak on the upper part of the bridge. "Tactical," John said calmly, "Fire at will."
Shrak smiled mercilessly as activated the weapon systems, blowing apart the lead Gorn vessel; the other two peeling off from the formation and attempting a regroup to run for their concentrated lines. John shook his head at Hans, letting him know that he had no intention of following them. He did not want to risk to get caught out in an overzealous charge, like the ones he had taken advantage of already.
John went back to his chair and sat down, before he could give the order to resume their course to the centre of the lines, John felt the bridge shake from underneath him. He fell off his chair as he noticed several other officers did. Lieutenant Visitor was thrown so far backwards from an explosion at her console that she landed near John. He reached her neck, checking her pulse, but a groan for her confirmed she was still alive.
"Hans, take the helm," John shouted taking a look around the deck; the bridge had various fires and a few crewmen sporting wounds. Shrak still stood at tactical and Torlik was still at his station, however it looked as if his arm had been caught in an explosion, with blood now dripping from it.
As Hans reached for the helm's station, Lieutenant Visitor rolled over and pushed herself off the floor, squeezing herself between the Geckonian and the navigational control station. John stared on as she looked at his executive officer. "I can take my post sir," she said, she looked as if she was in pain.
"Lieutenant," John shouted, "Get yourself down to the medical deck now."
"With all due respect sir," she shouted, "You need your best pilot at the helm. Give me a chance"
John nodded at her and took his seat back in the command chair, Hans quickly moved over to another crewmember to help them. "Report?" John ordered above the sound of flames being extinguished in the background.
"We've taken on damage sir," Torlik replied, "Hull breaches on deck two, shields are down to twenty percent."
"The Gorn having changed tactics sir, they've gone for a swarm tactic, several of them and Geckonian vessels are now fighting around us," Shrak shouted, her voice saturated with adrenaline, something John recognised instantly.
Another rock of the bridge shook John in his chair; he looked around the burning bridge and wondered how long he could hang on in the battle. With the fighting now becoming a melee, he was losing control quickly as ships on both sides were closing in on each other to point blank range. The tactic favoured the Gorn best.
Another explosion on the bridge sent a crewman flying near Hans, the face of the woman covered in blood.
"Tactical keep firing all weapons, try to hit as many of those damn things as possible," John shouted, "Helm, we need to keep the Gorn vessels off our shields, evasive pattern omega, get us to the outer regions of the battle area."
Chloe nodded, moving a strand of her brown hair to the side that had fallen from its normally perfectly placed spot behind her ear. John felt the lurch of the ship as she complained from the pain of moving in such a way.
Another explosion set a console on fire in the tactical station. Shrak was unhurt, but she didn't look best pleased.
"I've lost weapon control," she announced, "We're toothless sir." She sounded more frustrated than anything.
"Shields are offline, we're losing long range sensors," Torlik shouted, "We've got hull breaches on decks three, four and seven. Emergency force fields are holding but I don't know how long for."
John notice Hans attempting to conduct triage on the crewman who had the facial burns, John wondered if it was worth it now, it was only a matter of time before the Gorn would finish them off. But John didn't feel like going down without a fight on this occasion.
"Helm, set a collision course for the nearest Gorn ship and..." John was about to give the order to engage when Williams interrupted him from the other side of the room.
"Sir the Gorn are breaking off their attack," the young science officer shouted from across the bridge from his little station alcove.
John rushed over to the console and looked at the sensor data, "Why?" was all John could bring himself to ask.
"I'm detecting a warp field wake but not much else," Williams stated. With the sensors down, it would be hard to tell what anything was, Williams able to give that much detail was either a testimony to his skills or a sign of his optimism.
John looked across to his Andorian tactical officer, who was panting, leaning over her console, "Could it be reinforcements for the Gorn?"
"Negative," Shrak paused for a second looking at the Captain, "They had the upper hand. Why would they not continue pushing their advantage?"
"More Geckonian vessels?" Hans asked rising himself from his patient he had relented care for to Doctor Castello who had just arrived on the bridge.
"No sir," replied Williams, "There were no ships in that area of Geckonian space. Their trajectory suggests..." Williams paused for a moment, he looked surprised. After checking his readings a couple of times he turned round to face the captain with an astonished look on his face. "It's Stafleet sir."
John raised an eyebrow in scepticism, "Already?"
Williams only nodded.
"We are being hailed," Torlik announced from across the bridge.
John nodded and turned to face the view screen as a familiar face suddenly filled the screen with a beaming grin. "
Captain Wilcox
," the Captain of the USS Hood, Captain Robert DeSoto greeted John with a sort of warm affection, despite the two of them had only once briefly met, "
What kind of mess did you get yourself into?
"A special kind," John joking replied, giving a cheeky smile, "I take it we can thank you for getting those Gorn to run?"
DeSoto nodded, "
We told them that if they wanted to be hit from two sides at once; then keep on firing, otherwise run like hell.
" DeSoto's voice had a certain hidden danger about itself. His thinning grey hair may have made him look like the nice elderly uncle he was often called by junior officers who had started their careers under him. But he had a reputation as a keen tactician and a ruthless negotiator. There was no doubt in John's mind that DeSoto had scared the Gorn witless.
John smiled and sighed at the same time, relief that the battle was over and lasting safety were now very close, "What you got coming in?" John asked, "I've lost just about everything but life support and the hull."
We've got twenty four ships
," DeSoto claimed smiling, "
Just enough to get the Gorn second guessing themselves
John smiled, twenty four ships was a large number for a rescue of such a small crewed ship. "We could do with some repair crews over here Captain," John stated, he didn't want to directly ask for help but he had to admit he did need it.
I'll send over what I can Captain
." DeSoto stated, "
We'll be with you in five minutes, until then, stay in your current position.
John nodded and with that the communications link was cut, a star field replacing the shot of the experienced captain on the screen.
"Lieutenant Visitor and Ensign Torlik, get yourselves down to sickbay now. Commander Hans, take the helm and hold position," John ordered, taking his seat at the bridge as the shift in positions of the bridge occurred from Chloe and Torlik leaving their stations and replacements taking their places. As the euphoria of surviving the battle washed over him like a wave on a sandy beach, John closed his eyes for a second and took in a deep breath. He would get his crew out and home.

I'm writing multicast client/server application based on this and this; which work great.
However, I would also need to do something when the number of active network interfaces in the computer changes, something like what the program in the example section of this page does.
I guess I should use the tools in boost::asio::local, but I am unsure whether I should use
boost::asio::local::datagram_protocol or
boost::asio::local::stream_protocol or...
An example of how to do something as similar as possible would be really helpful. Thanks.

Customers check out sneakers, Wednesday, June 25, 2014, at NoJo Kicks, a new urban high-end sneaker, jersey and hat retailer on Library Street in downtown Detroit. / Jessica J. Trevino/Detroit Free Press
NoJo Kicks showroom
Location: 1220 Library St., in the Z, the initial ground-up development by Bedrock Real Estate, owned by Quicken Loans founder Dan Gilbert. The niche sneaker shop is the first of several new retail spots to open in the downtown development.
■Market: Ultra high-end sneakers. NoJo Kicks has rare vintage shoes on display at prices up to $8,500 a pair, worn and autographed by the likes of Michael Jordan, LeBron James and Kobe Bryant or designed like Nike Yeezy by Kanye West.
■Goal: Ignite a cultural revolution that sets Detroit above, and apart from, all other cities as the urban hot spot for high-end, exclusive sneakers, jerseys, hats and other apparel.
■Co-owners: Andy Beletskiy, 42; Matt Caputo, 26; Aaron Fields, 23.
Can a shoe store change a city? Ignite a cultural revolution that sets Detroit above, and apart from, all other cities as the urban hot spot for high-end, exclusive sneakers, jerseys, hats and other apparel?
The people behind NoJo Kicks, a new retailer that opened Monday in downtown Detroit to a crowd of 130 people already lined up outside aspire to nothing less.
To stake its claim as a one-of-a-kind spot, NoJo Kicks has rare vintage shoes on display at prices up to $8,500 a pair, worn and autographed by the likes of Michael Jordan, LeBron James and Kobe Bryant or designed like Nike Yeezy by hip-hop rapper Kanye West.
Our dream we all share is to change the city, said Aaron Fields, 23, and one of three NoJo co-owners. We just want to leave our imprint on the culture, move it forward and put Detroit on the map as a sneaker-oriented city, because we always get left out of the conversation. Its always about New York, Chicago, L.A., Miami, never Detroit.
The top reaction of customers on opening day at the store, Fields said, was This is not in Detroit, this isnt supposed to be here. I said yes it is.
Fields is part of an eclectic group of owners and backers at the colorful NoJo Kicks showroom at 1220 Library St.:
■ Founder and primary owner Andy Beletskiy, 42, is a half-Russian, half-Hungarian immigrant whose parents came to Detroit when he was 4½ years old. Hes now CEO of Rapid Metals, a steel and nonferrous metals distributor based in West Bloomfield. He also has interests in a trucking and a home-building firm. NoJo is named for his sons Noah, 15, and Jordan, 14.
■ Matt Caputo, 26, a NoJo co-owner and the CEO, is a well-traveled expert on sneaker culture who, at age 21 in Toledo, was the youngest store manager among more than 600 Finish Line athletic footwear stores in the nation. His Instagram name is @_sneakerpimp_.
■ Fields is a native Detroiter and also a NoJo co-owner. He was manager at House of Hoops in Fairlane Town Center when he impressed Beletskiy by holding a pair of hard-to-find Nike Air Force 1 camouflage sneakers for Beletskiys son Noah.
NoJo Kicks is the first of several new retail spots to open in the Z, the initial ground-up development by Bedrock Real Estate, owned by Quicken Loans founder Dan Gilbert, which previously had bought dozens of existing Detroit buildings.
It really fits with our retail strategy, a destination store that you cant get anywhere else, that will attract people from all over, says Dan Mullen, vice president of leasing and development at Bedrock.
Other retail tenants slated to open in the Z later this year are 7 Greens, a farm-to-table restaurant offering make-your-own salads; Citizen Yoga; and the the first Punch Bowl Social Club east of the Mississippi River, a 24,00-square-foot diner, bar and entertainment spot featuring craft beers and cocktails plus a bowling alley, other games and private karaoke rooms.
Mullen said he and Gilbert met Beletskiy six or seven months ago through a mutual friend. Beletskiy, as it happened, had been researching the luxury sneaker store concept inspired by son Noah for nearly a year.
Working with Bedrock and his sneaker-culture team of co-owners, Beletskiy forged a store design that incorporated suspended steel tubing from the ceiling, a nod to his steel industry career. And he amassed hundreds of thousands of dollars worth he wont share exact numbers of inventory of rare vintage sneakers and one-of-a-kind or limited edition jerseys and hats.
Beletskiy, who worked nights at a steel plant while attending Eastern Michigan University, has spent nearly his entire career to date in the down-to-earth worlds of metals, manufacturing and construction. He readily admits the notion of a boutique store for wildly expensive shoes and stuff was foreign to him but he said his son Noah, a sneaker freak, was so passionate about the idea that they decided to research and pursue it.
Mullen said his Bedrock colleagues and Gilbert, owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers basketball team, were already aware of high-end sneaker culture and familiar with Flight Club, a popular New York store in that space. We had said to ourselves that it would be cool to do something like that in Detroit, he said. When we connected with Andy, it was like a perfect marriage.
When Gilbert visited NoJo Kicks recently, Beletskiy said, he asked, How do you make money here?, and then engaged Caputo in a detailed conversation about the unusual niche customer base.
Beletskiy said opening-day sales were triple the target amount he had set for his team. Time will tell, of course, whether the early buzz turns into long-term profits.
Theres a lot of money invested, he said, but I love it. Matt and Aaron are like my family now, they treat my kids like theyre brothers.
Before long, Noah Beletskiy may be a full-fledged member of the management team. Hes being home-schooled in high school, so he can graduate in three years and work at NoJo.

i was just wondering how many teeth people use for their rear cog. What do the different number of teeth do?
I like 16 teeth myself, but this is a usless answer.
Assuming this is not a troll:
The size of the sprocket in the rear I use kind of depends on the chainring I am using. The smaller the sprocket, the harder it will be to pedal the bike but the faster it can go. A larger sprocket will make it easier to push the pedals, but you will need to spin at a higher cadence to reach a given speed.
See, this is why people should become well educated with the world of cycling, before entering the fixed gear continent. It is just a much smoother transaction.

1The care must have been provided so you — and your spouse if you are married filing jointly — could work or look for work.
2You, and your spouse if you file jointly, must have earned income, such as income from a job. A special rule applies for a spouse who is a student or not able to care for himself or herself.
3Payments for care cannot go to your spouse, the parent of your qualifying person or to someone you can claim as a dependent on your return. Payments can also not go to your child who is under age 19, even if the child is not your dependent.
4This credit can be worth up to 35 percent of your qualifying costs for care, depending upon your income. When figuring the amount of your credit, you can claim up to $3,000 of your total costs if you have one qualifying individual. If you have two or more qualifying individuals, you can claim up to $6,000 of your costs.
5If your employer provides dependent care benefits, special rules apply. See form 2441, child and dependent care expenses, for how the rules apply to you.
6On your tax return, you must include the social security number of each qualifying individual, and the name, address and Social Security number or employer identification number of your care provider.
7To claim the credit, attach form 2441 to your tax return. If you use e-file to prepare and file your return, the software will do this for you.

After a ten year hiatus, Agent J (Will Smith) and Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones) return for another outing in Men in Black 3. The initial teaser trailer gave almost nothing away except that J wakes up one morning to find K has been dead for forty years and needs to 'jump' back in time to understand what happened to him. There, he lands in the MIB headquarters back in the 60s and finds a young Agent K (Josh Brolin) who holds the key to understanding the secrets of the universe – whatever that might be. While the new trailer reveals anything significantly new it sure has its fun moments and it's going to be quite a spectacular intergalactic ride. Joining the gang this time will be Emma Thompson, Alice Eve, Bill Hader with Lady Gaga rumoured to have a cameo.
Director Barry Sonnenfeld takes the helm for the third time and we'll see it released in the UK on May 6th.

Remember Me
-Pete Francis on recording Iron Sea and the Cavalry
"We did a cover contest where the fans could vote, and in Baltimore I got to meet the guy who won. I think it's a great way to interact with fans," he says. "I really want the music to get out there, and I feel like touring and people buying a CD and sharing it with their friends is the way to go."
To that end, Francis ensures that his tours are a mixture of schools, clubs and out-of-the-ordinary performance venues. Sometimes he performs for a few thousand people, sometimes only a couple hundred, and he claims to enjoy them equally.
"There's a different sort of energy and vibe to playing a club in Charlottesville [Virginia] than there is to Madison Square Garden. I love the spontaneity of changing a setlist mid-show, and it's nice to know you can jump off the stage and talk to people afterwards and feel a connection. I'll never forget playing a morning assembly at a prep school. The kids were sleepy coming in, and the next thing you know they're all up on stage, hip to the rock show," says Francis. "I love the atmosphere at colleges. The kids are just open to talking to you - dancing around and being free. There's a freshness to it."
Francis describes his solo debut in 2001, So They Say, as a "raw" album of solely bass, guitar, drums and the occasional B-3 organ. He followed that up with Untold, a polished 2003 album produced by John Siket of Phish and Dave Matthews Band Crash fame.
For his last three releases - 2004's Good to Finally Know You, 2006's Everything is One and the most recent, Iron Sea and the Cavalry - Francis' has relied on old friend Jack Gauthier (Dispatch, State Radio, Ten Mile Tide) for production duties.
"Working with him is like a clubhouse - let's hang out with the guys - and the process just happens. He's not forcing anything, and he allows the music to evolve in a very organic way," says Francis.
The tracks to come out of Iron Sea may well be Francis' finest work to date. "Johnny Ocho's Lullaby" was written for his godson, born on the 8th of October. His wife, who also travels as his tour manager, sings back-up on the song, which opens the album.
"It's one of those tunes you can ride off into the sunset with, where the outro just goes on and on," he says. In "Case of Bad Love," Francis again displays his talent for indirect analogies.
It's Eiffel Towers in Rio de Janeiro
We're picking flowers in the land of the midnight sun
There are the times in the mind that you go looking
Waiting for the pot to boil but nothing's cooking
Telling big lies about how I survived my pirate days
In the same old ways
That's a case of bad love
"I don't know if you've ever had the experience where you're on a date with a girl and you're building it up in your mind, like 'This could be real, this girl could really be it,' and you talk to her about 'We could go here or there and travel together,'" says Francis. "The next thing you know the relationship goes on, and it could be a couple days or a couple weeks, but you realize you don't want to do any of that. So that's kind of a joke of it being a case of bad love."
Not that that imagery is clear from the lyrics. But that's what Pete Francis is hoping for.

O.A.R. is so bad ass!
I dig the social awareness and the mature understanding that art is a means to communicate, unite, heal, and change. I'm gonna miss him at Summerfest, but I'll pick up the disc for sure.
Pete is an amazing songwriter/artist. Iron Sea and the Calvalry is a great cd. HoodooVoodoo why on earth would you randomly put up a comment on a story about this guy who has nothing to do with OAR. Hopefully you were thinking Dispatch and just accidently wrote OAR
pretty sure he didn't write O.A.R. on accident, pete francis just happens to look a little like marc roberge.
Dispatch = Really Good
Solo efforts = Better get the band back together real quick before we forget you guys!

Please select » Size
The sizing above also corresponds with the sizing of your Astral Buoyancy Jacket. Just match the QR you are purchasing with the size printed on the inside of your PFD. If you are not fitting this Astral QR Belt to an Astral Buoyancy Lifejacket follow the sizing above and remember it is always better to go bigger and cut to length than to go too small and have to return the item. Ideally when your QR belt fits properly you will have a few inches extra coming from the buckle when it is latched to have another option to grab in case of an emergency.If you are fitting an older Astral Buoyancy jacket (Aquavest, WonderJacket or Tempo 200) the new size of M/L works with the older size of XS/M. The new L/XL QR fits a L/XL vest.

The FZ150 might look the same as its predecessor, but one significant change inside might make this the megazoom to beat.
Panasonic has a new toy, the 24x zoomin' FZ150, which also packs Full HD video recording and a 25mm wide-angle lens.
A new sensor gives this refresh of 2010's FZ40 the promise of some faster performance and full HD movie capture.
The P500 has a lens so wide and long it's likely to make other megazoom owners feel inadequate.
Featuring a 16-megapixel backside-illuminated CMOS sensor and a new Multi-Recording mode, the SZ-30MR looks like more than a "me too" megazoom.
Apple has updated the digital camera raw support for iPhoto and Aperture, allowing import and management of raw files from several new Canon, Olympus, Panasonic, and Pentax models.
