News for February 2012
Thanks to all our volunteers for offering their time and talent to promote Partners mission of Bringing People and the Arts Together.
From the Desk of Your Partners President: Amidst all of the running around that I did last Christmas, I ran into one of our Partners in the lobby where she works. I hadnt seen her since last summer, and sometimes I have to do a double take to recognize folks when they dont have that familiar green work shirt on. I started up some small talk about the holidays and looked forward to seeing her next season.
So if you have skills and talents that you would like to share, and have a lot of fun at the same time, then get involved with a committee this season! Come to our Partners Annual Meeting this Friday and find a group to get involved with!

The movie Snow White and the Huntsman is nothing like any other version of this classic fairy tale that you may have read or seen before. In the movie, Snow White is fated to become a fierce warrior to defeat the evil queen. You can bring part of this epic story to life with the Snow White and the Huntsman Women's Snow White Costume for this Halloween. This package includes the dress and leggings. The dress is styled to resemble the medieval time period the movie is set in. Dark green velvety material makes up the bodice and the top layer of skirt. There is an under layer of light blue, sheer fabric that peeks through the stripes of green velvet at the sleeves and makes the tattered layer of the skirt. Just like Kristen Stewart's Snow White, you will be ready to run from the reach of evil Queen Ravenna and the obstacles of the Dark Forest when you slip on the coordinating leggings. Wear this costume for the big party and you will look like a damsel but not one that is in distress.

Lithium under argon. Size of the largest piecem: 0.3 x 4cm. @ images-of-elements.com
Lithium, the lowest density metallic element, is in a group of elements called alkali metals or Group I elements and is silvery-white in color. It has the atomic number of 3. The alkali metals group includes lithium (Li), sodium(Na), potassium(K), rubidium(Rb), cesium(Cs). The three alkali metals are highly reactive with oxygen and water, so they are typically stored in oil. Although lithium will react dramatically when placed in water, it is the least reactive alkali metal. When it reacts with water it bounces on the top of the water because it is less dense than water and because of the robustness of the reaction. Johan A. Arfvedson, of Stockholm, Sweden, first discovered lithium in the year 1817. It was first isolated by W.T. Brande and Humphry Davy in the 19th century, but it was not commercially produced until 1923.

The name lithium comes from the Greek word lithos which means stone because lithium was first discovered in rocks and the other two alkali metals were first discovered in plants. Lithium was first found in the mineral called petalite (LiAl(Si2O5)2, lithium aluminum silicate. Petalite is found in the minerals spodumene, lepidolite mica, and amblygonite.
Some lithium is recovered from the mineral spodumene. Commercial quantities of spodumene are in a special igneous rock deposit that geologists call a pegmatite. In pegmatites, the liquid rock (magma) cools so slowly that crystals have time to grow very large. The largest spodumene crystal ever found was found in a pegmatite in South Dakota.
Most lithium is recovered from brine, or water with a high concentration of lithium carbonate. Brines trapped in the Earth's crust (called subsurface brines) are the major source material for lithium carbonate. These sources are less expensive to mine than from rock such as spodumene, petalite, and other lithium-bearing minerals.
It is estimated that the United States has approximately 760,000 tons of lithium reserves. The resources in the rest of the world are estimated to total 12 million tons. The United States is the world's leading consumer of lithium and lithium compounds. The leading producers and exporters of lithium ore materials are Chile and Argentina. China and Russia have lithium ore resources, but it is presently cheaper for these countries to import this material from Chile than to mine their own reserves.
Biological interactions
Trace amounts of lithium are present in the world's oceans and in some organisms, although the element serves no apparent vital biological function in humans. The lithium ion Li+ administered as any of several lithium salts has proved to be useful as a mood stabilizing substance, becuase of neurological effects of Lithium ion in the human body.
Industrial uses
More than one-half of the lithium compounds consumed are used in the manufacture of glass, ceramics and aluminum. Lithium is also used in making synthetic rubber, greases and other lubricants.
Lithium batteries are increasingly being invoked as an alternative to traditional batteries, and also in new battery applications such as electric car batteries, although costs can be quite high. Lithium is mixed with other light metals such as aluminum and magnesium to form strong, light-weight alloys (an alloy is a mixture of metals). Some lithium, in the form of lithium carbonate or lithium citrate, is used as medicine to treat gout (an inflammation of joints) and to treat some syndromes of mental illness.
Nuclear Applications
Lithium-6 can be employed as a source of tritium, as well as a neutron absorber in nuclear fusion reactions. Naturally occurring lithium contains about seven and one half percent 6Li, from which extensive amounts of 6Li have been produced by isotope separation for use in nuclear weaponry. 7Li subsequently gained traction in its viability as a nuclear reactor coolant.
In the early development of hydrogen bomb technology, lithium deuteride was a favored nuclear fusion fuel. Upon bombardment by neutrons, 6Li and 7Li each emit tritium; this reaction, not fully understood at the time of the Teller-Ulam design, was responsible for the out of control yield in an early hydrogen bomb test. Tritium fuses with deuterium in a nuclear fusion reaction.
Substitutes and Alternative Sources
Potassium compounds can be used in glass and ceramic production. Greases can be made using calcium soaps, for example, in place of lithium compounds. In some cases, glass, polymers and resins can be used in place of aluminum-lithium alloys. Zinc, magnesium, nickel and cadmium, and even mercury, can be used to make batteries in place of lithium. (It must be noted that mercury is being phased out of use due to the fact it is so poisonous.)

It's pretty cool as is.. I guess you could add some color to the roofs, etc. to help break up all that white.
Time for a revamp of this map. I started this several years ago and my RMFRP campaign at the time moved away from the area so I never really finished it. But the storyline is coming back to this city fairly soon. So I thought I would make some improvements.

Wonderful map. Seems like it took much time to create. I agree with SG, the other possibility is to change it to a greyscale map.
Edit: What are those black squares in every building?
I was thinking of colouring and shading the roofs and then adding some extra drop shadows on higher buildings to better show the multi-levels. I wanted to redo the landscape and streets now that I am better with textures. Put some boats in the harbour and so on. The chimneys will blend better once it it coloured and shaded. I can always make a greyscale version from there. (Just for you Katto)
I am hoping to turn this into something really special.

Made a start on colour and shadow. Whole map and detail attached. Comments and critique invited.
Edit: I aslo added a version that is just the colour layer so that the back ground is not distracting the eye.

Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work I go..
I like it, but....there is an issue with using the same pattern of buildings as geomorphs over and over.
As can be seen in the attached image, when you join your prebuilt collection of building together, you get into a situation where one of the buildings has no entrance available to it. No one cam get inside, and thus it detracts from the map as a whole.

Any questions on CC3? Post them with CC3 in the Subject Line!
MY 'FAMOUS' CC3 MAPS: Thunderspire; Pyramid of Shadows; King of the Trollhaunt Warrens; Demon Queen's Enclave
When I first made the layout, a long time ago, I didn't put a huge amount of thought into it. Which is why I wanted to revist it and improve it.
As for the 'no entrance' thing...is that really such an issue. The rooms inside the middle section can be accessed via internal corridors. There is no reason why that section can't be an extension of a building with street access.
Edit: After looking at older cities on Google Earth I have noticed that although there are some instances of buildings as I have them, it is actually much more common to have a courtyard or open air walkway. So I guess I will replace some of those locked in buildings with courtyards.

As the world has warmed over the past few decades, climate scientists have increasingly sounded the alarm over the potentially catastrophic impacts that warming could have on the worldÂ's weather.

Blood Thinners Other Than Warfarin: Taking Them Safely
Blood thinners are medicines that help prevent blood clots. Although they are called blood thinners, they don't really thin the blood. They slow down the time it takes for a blood clot to form.
You have to be careful when you take blood thinner medicines. They can raise the risk of serious bleeding. But you can do some simple things to help prevent problems.
This Actionset is about all blood thinner medicines except warfarin (Coumadin). There are some extra steps you have to take if you take warfarin. To learn more, see Warfarin: Taking Your Medicine Safely.
A blood thinner slows down the blood's ability to form clots. This helps prevent clots that can cause life-threatening problems such as stroke, heart attack, and pulmonary embolism. These medicines also can keep blood clots from getting bigger.
Blood thinner medicines work in different ways to prevent blood clots. But all of them raise the risk of serious bleeding. This can happen from an injury, or it can occur suddenly inside your body.
Blood thinners include medicines called antiplatelets and anticoagulants.
Examples include:
- Low-dose aspirin.
- Clopidogrel (Plavix).
- Prasugrel (Effient).
- Ticagrelor (Brilinta).
Examples include:
- Apixaban (Eliquis).
- Dabigatran (Pradaxa).
- Enoxaparin (Lovenox).
- Rivaroxaban (Xarelto).
- Warfarin (Coumadin). To learn more about warfarin, see Warfarin: Taking Your Medicine Safely.
Test Your Knowledge
When I take blood thinner medicine, my blood takes longer to clot.
This answer is correct.
A blood thinner works by increasing the time it takes for blood clots to form. It also keeps an existing clot from getting larger.
This answer is incorrect.
A blood thinner works by increasing the time it takes for blood clots to form. It also keeps an existing clot from getting larger.
Blood thinners make your blood take longer than normal to clot. This can cause serious bleeding.
When you take blood thinners, bleeding problems can happen when you:
- Fall or are injured. An injury can cause bleeding that is hard to control.
- Take other medicines. Taking certain other medicines along with a blood thinner can raise your risk of bleeding.
- Have surgery or some procedures. These can raise your risk of bleeding too much.
Bleeding also can happen inside your body without an injury when you take blood thinners.
Test Your Knowledge
I need to be careful to avoid injury when I take blood thinner medicine
This answer is correct.
It's important to avoid getting hurt while taking blood thinner medicine. An injury may cause bleeding that is hard to control.
This answer is incorrect.
It is important to avoid getting hurt while taking blood thinner medicine. An injury may cause bleeding that is hard to control.
You can take blood thinner medicine safely by taking a few steps:
- Know the signs of bleeding.
- Tell your doctors and dentist about all the medicines you take.
- Talk to your doctors about surgeries and tests.
- Prevent falls and injuries.
1. Know the signs of bleeding.
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if you have:
- A sudden, severe headache that is different from past headaches. (It may be a sign of bleeding in the brain.)
Call your doctor now or seek immediate medical care if you have:
- Any abnormal bleeding, such as:
- Coughing up blood.
- Vomiting blood or what looks like coffee grounds.
- Stools that are black and look like tar or have streaks of blood.
- A nosebleed that doesn't stop quickly.
- Blood in your urine.
- Vaginal bleeding that is different (heavier, more frequent, at a different time of the month) than what you are used to.
- New bruises or blood spots under your skin without a known cause. (With shots, bruising is normal around an injection site.)
If you are injured, apply pressure to stop bleeding. Realize that it will take longer than you are used to for the bleeding to stop. If you can't get the bleeding to stop, call your doctor.
2. Tell your doctors about all your medicines, and take your medicines properly.
Give your list of medicines to every doctor and dentist who treats you. Taking certain medicines along with a blood thinner can cause bleeding. It also can change how well your medicines work.
To avoid problems:
- Tell your doctor about all of the prescription medicines, over-the-counter medicines, antibiotics, vitamins, and herbal products that you take.
- Make and go to all your appointments for checkups or tests. Call your doctor if you are having problems with your medicine.
- Don't take aspirin and other pain relievers, such as ibuprofen (for example, Motrin), unless your doctor tells you to take them and when and how to take them.
- Check with your doctor or pharmacist before you start or stop taking any other medicines. These include prescription medicines, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal products.
- Take your medicine at the same time of day, as prescribed.
- If you take several medicines, use a daily medicine planner(What is a PDF document?) to keep track of them. It's a list of every medicine and vitamin you take, along with when and how often you take each one.
- Store your medicine the right way. A few medicines must be stored in their original containers so they don't spoil. If your medicine label has this instruction, then don't use a pillbox for that medicine.
- Talk to your doctor about what to do if you miss a dose of your blood thinner.
If you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or trying to get pregnant, talk with your doctor. You and your doctor will decide what medicines are safe for you during pregnancy. Do not use any medicines unless your doctor tells you to.
To learn more about taking aspirin safely, see Low-Dose Aspirin Therapy.
3. Talk to your doctors about surgeries and tests.
Check with your doctor as soon as you can before any surgery or test (such as a colonoscopy). You may need to stop taking your blood thinner or some of your other medicines up to a week or more before the procedure. Your doctor will tell you when it is safe to start taking your medicine again.
4. Prevent falls and injuries.
If you have a high risk of falling, make these changes in your life to prevent falls:
- Wear slippers or shoes that have nonskid soles.
- Use a cane or walker if you need one.
- Put things within easy reach so that you don't need to reach over your head for them.
- Keep a cordless phone and a flashlight with new batteries by your bed.
Make these changes in your home to prevent falls:
- Remove raised doorway thresholds, throw rugs, and clutter.
- Rearrange furniture and electrical cords to keep them out of walking paths.
- Keep stairways, porches, and outside walkways well lit. Use night-lights in hallways and bathrooms.
- Install sturdy handrails on stairways. Install grab handles and nonskid mats inside and outside your shower or tub and near the toilet.
- Add extra light switches if needed or use remote switches, such as sound-activated switches, on lights by doors and near your bed. Then you won't have to get up quickly to turn on the light or walk across the room in the dark.
- Repair loose carpet or raised areas in the floor that may cause you to trip.
- Use shower chairs and bath benches.
- Use nonskid floor wax. Wipe up spills right away, especially on ceramic tile floors.
- If you live in an area that gets snow and ice in the winter, have a family member or friend sprinkle salt or sand on slippery steps and sidewalks.
To prevent injuries, be careful with your activities:
- Choose activities that have a lower risk of injury, such as swimming and walking. Try to avoid activities or sports that put you at risk of injury. But if you take part in activities that carry a risk of falling or injury, be as safe as possible and wear protective equipment, such as helmets.
- Be extra careful when you work with sharp tools or power tools, such as saws.
- Use an electric razor, not a razor blade.
- Use waxed dental floss and a toothbrush with soft bristles.
- When you work outside, wear clothing that protects you, such as gloves, shoes, and long sleeves.
Test Your Knowledge
I am taking a daily blood thinner and have never taken ibuprofen before. Since ibuprofen is an over-the-counter drug, I don't need to call my doctor's office about taking it.
This answer is incorrect.

Based on the novel by Stephenie Meyer.
It's only a couple of weeks until the new season of Beverly Hills Pawn arrives on REELZ, and we can't wait to see what the rich and famous are buying and selling to Yossi this time around. But that got us thinking, what would the fictional richest people in the world buy? We took a look at Forbes' Fictional 15, picked our favorite fake rich people and tried to figure out what they'd buy if they were shopping at the Dina Collection.
If Tony Stark were to stop by the Dina Collection, we think he would have two words on his mind: Patek Philippe. This gorgeous wrist watch seems likely to catch his eye, with it's clean lines and elegant-yet-masculine looks. We also guess that while there, Yossi would remind him that it would also be a good idea to get a little something for his special lady friend. So we figure he'd also leave with a bauble, perhaps a Buccelati white and yellow gold bracelet, for Pepper Potts.
This rich duck loves his giant pile of gold coins, but he also loves to have a few eye-catching jewels in his stash. We think the item that would most catch his fancy is this diamond Hamsa and Evil Eye necklace. We think he'd buy it in an effort to ward off the evil Beagle Boys and keep them out of his vault.
The patriarch of the Cullen clan has a ton of money, but unlike some other people on this list, he isn't one to hoard it all to himself. Because Carlisle is such a generous guy, we think rather than buying something for himself, he'd probably be at the Dina Collection buying a pretty little something nice for Esme. Because his sweetheart grew up in the early 20th century, it seems likely that an Edwardian piece would be appropriate, and this pearl and diamond necklace fits the bill perfectly.
The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug has just theaters, which means his precious Arkenstone has been burgled by Bilbo. While Yossi doesn't have an exact replacement for the Heart of the Mountain, we think this giant Van Cleef & Arpels canary diamond that Yossi purchased on the show awhile back comes pretty close.
Due to Christian's bedroom proclivities, we think he'd pick out this rope and diamond bead bracelet for Ana. It gives him a chance to give her something nice and an opportunity to tie up her wrist. What could be better?
A much time as we've spent with him, we don't really know all that much about Mr. Monopoly other than that he's been known to win crossword competitions, he prefers monocles to regular glasses, and he once took second place in a beauty pageant. And while Yossi doesn't have any top hats, scottie dogs, old shoes, thimbles, or wheelbarrows in his shop, he does have a race car that he's looking to sell. Mr. Monopoly will have to pass go quite a few times to afford it, but we think this is what he'd spend his colorful money on.
Assuming her father hasn't already lost the family fortune, we definitely see one piece from the Dina Collection catching Mary's eye. That of course is the diamond tiara that one of our favorite outlandish BHP shoppers bought with the motive of outshining another woman on her wedding day. Luckily, the woman in question seems to have sold it back to Yossi after she upstaged the bride, so now it's available again. We doubt (mostly) that Lady Mary would use it for this purpose, but we are sure that this would look fabulous with one of her 1920s beaded gowns.
We can't be sure, but we're guessing Jay would buy every piece of jewelry in the entire store, take it all to West Egg and have Daisy pick which items she wanted. If he had to pick and choose only a few things? Well, Daisy liked the modern, Art Deco pieces from the period, and we're guessing he'd go ahead and buy a 1920s style diamond and sapphire necklace, this platinum, sapphire, and diamond ring, a gorgeous 18 carat diamond bracelet, and probably some earrings, too.
Unfortunately, Yossi Dina does not have any crazy tech gadgets, bat suits or plain black turtlenecks for sale in his store. But he does have one thing the playboy heartthrob Bruce Wayne likes; he's got some lovely ladies working with him. While Mr. Wayne might or might not buy something at the Dina Collection, we think he would definitely be chatting up Aria while he was there. So would he leave the store with the lovely junior sales associate on his arm? That'd be up to Aria to decide.

DETROIT - In a city of overwhelming challengers the architects of the Detroit Works project see their goals as ambitious but achievable.
Local and international experts have been working on the project for two years.
It was Detroit Mayor Dave Bing who launched Detroit Works two years ago. He says he has witnessed Detroit's decline but he is convinced the city can be world-class again.
"We assembled a broad coalition of people to guide the long-term planning process while my administration focuses on improving Detroit in the short term," Bing said.
Read more: Mayor Bing unveils Detroit Works Project
The plan called Detroit Future City envisions a Detroit that is "prosperous, connected, sustainable and socially just." It focuses on turning vacant property into farms and lakes, improving infrastructure, strengthening neighborhoods and creating seven employment districts.
"This is not just a single, static vision for a very distant future," said Toni Griffin, project director. "It's a framework for managing ongoing change that will continue to occur over time within a shared vision."
To make these dreams come true will cost billions of dollars. Thanks to the Kresge Foundation, it's getting a jump start. The foundation has committed $150 million in grants over the next five years.

Comments On May 29, 2014:I went from a Cobra slipon to the PowerPro HP 2-into-1. This is defiantly louder, but has a deeper tone than the slipon. I think I'll need to get a quiet baffle for it so I don't upset the neighbors when I leave in the morning.
The heat shields leave something to be desired. There is virtually not spacing between the pipe and the "heat shield." I could feel the heat inside my jeans. I can see this being an issue when I wear my Klim pants, I guess only time will tell.
If the heat shield was a little better, I would give this 5 stars.

|TRON: Uprising
Beck is the main protagonist of TRON: Uprising.
Beck is a young program who becomes the leader of a revolution inside the Grid. His mission is to free his home and friends from the reign of the villainous Clu and his henchman General Tessler. Beck is trained by Tron - the greatest warrior the Grid has ever come to know. Tron not only teaches Beck the fighting and light cycle skills he needs to challenge this brutal military occupation, but he will be a guide and mentor to him as he grows beyond his youthful, impulsive nature into a courageous, powerful, strong leader. Destined to become the next System Monitor of the system, Beck adopts Tron's persona and becomes the arch enemy of General Tessler and his oppressive forces.
Beck's Beginning
Beck had worked at Able's garage for most of his life, carrying out his primary function of fixing and modifying vehicles. Then Clu took over, amid rumors of Tron's demise. When Beck's best friend Bodhi was derezzed before his eyes, he decided to take the fight back to the oppressor, and began his revolution by destroying a statue of Clu.
His actions did not go unnoticed. First chased by Clu's forces, and then by Paige, he stole a Light Crawler and tried to return to Argon City unseen. He was noticed, though. A tall, dark figure in a helmet chased after him and subdued him. The mysterious program cuffed Beck and took him to an interrogation room, gradually discovering everything that Beck had done. While the program was talking however, Beck was decoding his handcuffs using a special tool. He broke free and attacked the program but was defeated again with ease. It was then that the program revealed himself to Beck. It was Tron, damaged in battle with Clu.
After Beck got back to the garage, Tessler told the programs of Argon City that they had been volunteered for the games. Several programs had been captured, including Beck's friends, Zed and Mara. Beck followed the Light Rail that was transporting them and jumped onto it with his light cycle. There was one Black Guard patrolling and after a brief fight where the guard's helmet was knocked off, Beck looked into the program's eyes and spared his life. He managed to knock the light rail off it's beam and, with help from the guardsman, Beck located and freed his friends. His accomplice was derezzed only moments later when General Tessler launched a surprise attack of his own. The lengthy fight ended when Tessler fell from a building, allowing Beck the opportunity to escape.
Back with Tron, Beck and the former warrior each split their discs in half and switched halves. As Beck replaced his disc on his back, his light suit became Tron's. The latter then told Beck, "Come. We have a lot of work to do, Tron."
The RenegadeBeck's training with Tron was hard and often left him very tired. One night after his training, Beck was driving back to Argon City when a spotlight suddenly shown on him. He had broken curfew by being in the Outlands at that time of night. Beck escaped the pursuing guards by slipping into a massive cargo box. He soon found out, however, that several other programs were also in the container, and that it was taking them to the games.
Beck befriended two programs, Rilo and Cutler, and when the games began, the three of them lasted longer than the others before Rilo was derezzed. Beck and Cutler defeated the first round of enemies soon after. Then, while being transported to the Light Cycle Arena, they effected their escape.
It was not long, however, until they were discovered again by Paige, who cuffed them together and threw back into the games, this time to face three light cycles. Again, though cuffed together, Beck and Cutler prevailed. This was not going according to plan for Tessler, so his other lieutenant, Pavel, suggested that they fight each other to the the death, with the winner getting freedom. Cutler forfeited so that he and Beck would not have to derez each other. Tessler was unrelenting, willing to derez them both, but Paige, showing her more compassionate side, made Tessler keep his promise to the crowd and set Beck free. Cutler was not as fortunate and was to be derezzed.
Beck then went on to rescue him disguised as Tron, and after a lengthy escape from Argon City that involved draw bridges and Light Boat chases, Cutler told his savior to make sure his friend Beck was thanked. Beck, as Tron, reassured him and told him that the way to help his cause was to help spread the word about the revolution and that they need recruits.
After returning to Able's garage and doing some work, Beck again met up with Tron in his safehouse. They still had much to do, though Beck had passed the first major test of his skills.
One time after an intense training bout, the light in Tron's safehouse flickered, as did everything in Argon City. It was not long before Beck and Tron discovered the source. General Tessler had set up an energy drill that was sapping the energy from Argon City and everything around it. If enough energy was drained, the programs of Argon would derez. It was another job for the renegade. There was a maze of tunnels underneath the drilling area and Beck would use those to make his way to the drill before planting a light grenade on it.
Back at Able's garage, Beck asked for time off. His boss and peers were under the impression the Beck was just getting lazy and it took a while to convince Able. Beck then went to Zed to ask him to work overtime for him and found out that Zed was going to compete in the Argon Races - which went straight through the tunnels.
As the renegade, Beck navigated through the tunnels, hoping to find and halt the race to save the programs from the explosion. This he did, stopping the three remaining racers: Zed and two others named Hopper and Bartik. But when Paige discovered what he was planning, she raced to the energy drill to deactivate the grenade. Beck had to stop her to keep her from being derezzed, so he stole Zed's modified and incredibly fast light cycle to stop Paige. When they arrived at the drill, it was seconds to exploding. The two of them then raced away through the tunnels, trying to escape the derezzing blast that was licking their back wheels. Paige began to fall behind and Beck, realizing that her bike wasn't fast enough and fearing for her life, pulled her onto his light cycle and hers was enveloped in flame. The two barely escaped with their lives and after they were out of danger, Beck left Paige in the Outlands and drove off.
After the encounter and back at Argon City, Beck and Tron witnessed General Tessler give a speech in which he blamed the renegade for the blackouts and promised the programs of Argon that the renegade will be brought to "justice". Tron then commented to Beck, "If we prevail in this conflict, they'll understand."
Beck was first seen changing a sign to read, "Tron Lives". When Tessler's guards found out they ordered for everyone's discs to be scanned. Beck, obviously not wanting to have his disc scanned, found a program named Galt who helped Beck sneak onto a light rail. However, Galt betrayed Beck and stole his disc. When Beck returned to Tron's safehouse, Tron gave Beck a fake one to use temporarily.
They later headed to Purgos Alley, where they visited a pawn shop. Tron asked the salesman, Kobol, if he had stolen identity discs. Kobol informed them he didn't, and said that he would search around. However, Tron knew that Kobol was lying to them, and as he and Beck walked down an alley, they where surrounded by a gang of programs who didn't want them there, one of which was Kobol, the leader. During the ensuing fight, Beck had his first glitch, and then the pair were surprised by the unexpected aid of Lux, who then led them away.
They went to a club where Tron noticed the program Galt staring at Beck. Realizing that Galt was the one who had stolen Beck's identity disc, the trio chased him down a hallway and cornered him. While Tron was interrogating him, Kobol derezzed Galt with a surprise attack from behind. Lux, Beck, and Tron started a light cycle chase against Kobol that ended when Beck had another glitch and was injured when he crashed into Kobol's light ribbon.
Beck was taken to Lux's place where she healed his injury as best she could. Beck had another glitch losing more of his memory. When Tron tried to get him to remember, Lux knocked Tron out. Then Kobol appeared and convinced Beck that he was really working for Tessler, then took Tron prisoner and tricked Beck into getting taken in by the Occupation.
Lux freed Tron and he fought Kobol until Beck intervened. When Kobol told him to derez Tron, Beck resisted, still guided by his innate compassion. Tron then unmasked himself and convinced Beck to be who he really was. Kobol attacked, but in the ensuing battle Tron was able to return Beck's disc to him. Restored, and with Tessler's forces closing in, the programs opted to escape, but Kobol handcuffed himself to Beck. Lux, having seen Tron unmasked, then derezzed Kobol and threw herself into a fight against the approaching Black Guard, buying time for Beck and Tron to escape.
Beck was tasked next with steal a vital data cube, one that contained all of Tessler's plans, security codes and blueprints. Sneaking aboard the general's command ship, Beck successfully captured the small cube. He was detected in the process, however, and just barely managed to fly out of the closing doors in his light jet. Paige was the first to respond to his theft and gave chase in a light copter. Dismissing it as a minor threat due to the slow speed of the copter, Beck then noticed Pavel and a squadron of light jets giving pursuit. In the confusion, Paige managed to damage Beck's vehicle, nearly destroying her own in the process. Both combatants spun, out of control, to the island below. Beck ejected before the impact and was able to hide from Pavel and his squad until they flew off.
Beck noticed that the crash from his jet had destabilized the code of the island; it was derezzing at an increasingly fast rate. The situation was getting critical. Thinking fast, Beck decided to join forces with Paige. This she rejected at once, attacking him and even taking back the data cube. Paige claimed she was escaping the island alone and, with a makeshift raft, atempted to do just that. However, her raft malfunctioned and sunk, leaving her to swim ashore where Beck stood waiting for her. "Still don't think you need my help?" he jibed.
After much convincing, Beck roused Paige from her apathy, at which point she noticed an injury on his arm. The wound, she informed him, could cause him to lose the arm if it wasn't healed. After having Paige swear that she wouldn't betray him, Beck handed her his disc so she could address the problem properly. The moment was suddenly intimate, as Paige and Beck both felt. Abruptly brusk, Paige claimed she was only helping him because she needed his help.
The duo began working together, using parts from Paige's light copter and the remains of Beck's light jet to make a vehicle that could get them off the island. As the makeshift light boat was nearing completion, a large portion of the island - one the Paige was standing on - suddenly derezzed, sending the program falling down the side of a cliff where she caught a small handhold. Beck quickly rushed to complete the boat in order to rescue her, but even as he sped towards her, a large chunk of the island collapsed, knocking her into the water. Beck dove into the water to save the unconscious Paige but a light copter, manned by Tessler and Pavel, got to her first: lowering a crane arm, they pulled her out of the water and flew back to Argon City.
Back at Tron's Safehouse, Beck told his mentor what happened at the island. Tron was not angry about the loss of the data cube, but instead praised Beck for risking his life to save an enemy.

Blair Sanderson
Ohio offensive lineman Sean Welsh has heard a lot about Iowa since the Hawkeyes offered him a scholarship in early May, but today was his first chance to see Iowa City up close. We caught up with the 6-foot-3, 275-pound Welsh to talk about the visit, if he might be getting close to making a decision, and much more.Q: What all did you get to do out at Iowa today?WELSH: Well, I pretty much got a full tour of campus and all of the facilities including the news ones they're building. I got to meet most of the coaching staff and I got to talk to a player panel with some of the current players there. It was a good day. I got to see a lot of things that I wouldn't get to see or learn about without visiting, so it was really good.Q: Can you talk about the player panel, just who was on it and what that discussion was like?WELSH: I don't remember all of their names, but there was a Jordan (Walsh) from Chicago and a Brandon (Scherff) from Iowa. They were all offensive linemen. I just asked them kind of general questions about the player life, what it's like to play at Iowa, what they do in their free time, and what kind of drew them to Iowa.Q: Was that something that was pretty helpful for you?WELSH: Yeah, absolutely. I've been on a lot of visits and they haven't done that at any other school. A lot of coaches say you will get to talk to the players while you are there, but you never actually get to very much so to have an actual player panel was great because it gave me a good chance to do that today. It was pretty cool.Along with Iowa, Welsh currently holds scholarship offers from Miami, West Virginia, Cincinnati, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisville, Air Force, Ball State, Bowling Green, Ohio, Kent State, Toledo, Western Kentucky, and Miami of Ohio, among others. ...More...

This is in general an answer to a comment made by the creator of Horizons. I am not going to quote it as I urge you all to follow the comments made on the kickstarter.
The fear was that PvP would become a separate game from the single player mode. Also a card fusing system that would make a card stronger by effectively destroying another.
I feel that any fusion outside of singleplayer would be a mistake. The balance is already a nightmare and it would make new players even more distanced.
It could work in singleplayer, but would make the passage from single to PvP more irksome. I feel the crafting is enough.
PvP and single becoming too far apart that they become separate games? Maybe for a few, but there are a few counters to this.
Sign in 1 pull on lotto.
Play 3 games that last 10 turns another pull and a small amount of currency.
5of7's as they stand.
Monthly or Bi monthly tournaments with prizes just for enterantance.
Keep treasure battles maybe give consolation to loser, say 1 star card. Winner gets minimum 2 star.
All the prizes are just off the top of my head. With crafting materials could be added etc. The crafting could draw both modes closer.
For the single player I would have an end of level boss roulette. The prize is not random but appears so.
Prizes would be say small avatar items. Small amounts of gran etc and of course a star item with a very low drop rate. Certain materials could also only be obtained here and vai ser verser with PvP. Again bringing modes closer.
I have lifted these ideas straight from very successful games. I think singleplayer can give much needed respite from PvP. And we all need to test our metal against humans. It would be no great shame if Alteil shifted in a balanced way a little towards the shamefully neglected singleplayer experience. In other games I look forward to new chapters. And It is a great chance to tell the Alteil story, again almost forgotten.
I think the dressable avatars is a great and easily exploitable part of this game. I have seldom seen such customisation.

All Lucas wanted was for Nikki to take a chance on him...on their future together. And now, thanks to one well-meaning matchmaker, the single dad just might get his wish!
Prolific romance author Marie Ferrarella swears she was born writing, "which must have made the delivery especially hard for my mother."
Born in West Germany of Polish parents, she came to America when she was four years of age. For an entire year, Marie and her family explored the eastern half of the country before finally settling in New York. It was there that she was to meet the man she would marry, truly her first love. Marie was only 14 when she first laid eyes on her future husband, Charles Ferrarella.
From an early age, Marie's parents would find her watching television or tucked away in some private place, writing at a furious pace. "Initially, I began writing myself into my favorite shows. I was a detective on 77 Sunset Strip, the missing Cartwright sibling they never talked about on Bonanza, and the Girl from U.N.C.L.E. before there was a Girl from U.N.C.L.E., not to mention an active participant in the serialized stories on The Mickey Mouse Club."
Marie began to write her first romance novel when she was 11 years old, although she claims that, at the time, she didn't even realize it was a romance!
She scribbled off and on, while dreaming of a career as an actress.
During her days at Queens College, acting started to lose its glamour as Marie spent more and more time writing. After receiving her English degree, specializing in Shakespearean comedy, Marie and her family moved to Southern California, where she still resides today.
After an interminable seven weeks apart, Charles decided he couldn't live without her and came out to California to marry his childhood sweetheart.
Ever practical, Marie was married in a wash-and-wear wedding dress that she sewed herself, appliqués and all. "'Be prepared' has always been my motto," the author jokes. This motto has been stretched considerably by her two children, "but basically, it still applies," she says.
Marie has one goal: to entertain, to make people laugh and feel good. "That's what makes me happy," she confesses. "That, and a really good romantic evening with my husband." She's keeping her fingers crossed that you enjoy reading her books as much as she's enjoyed writing them!

G.I.Joe 25th Anniversary Series 7 Images Online
Posted 17 January 2008 - 09:34 PM
SE- Awesome looking fig terrific hopefully those knives on his chest will be removable
Spirit- I see what some of u guys are saying about the jaw line but I think he looks pretty darn good overall
Wild Bill- great look and I love the pearl handles revolvers
HISS Driver- not to wired about this guy, he looks good and I'll probably get at least 1 but he doesn't appeal to me as much
Viper- The hand pre-posed like that really detracts form him and does anyone else think if u take the vest off that he's gonna be real skinny underneath?
looks like this is gonna be a great wave, I'm looking forward to it, and hopefully they will show pics of Major Bludd soon
Posted 17 January 2008 - 09:35 PM
Still great wave. The 2008 line up is very impressive. Now if we can get an airborne and a few of the other early years joes, I will be quite content.
Posted 17 January 2008 - 09:39 PM
Posted 17 January 2008 - 10:23 PM
I'm glad it's SE ver 3 instead of 4, I like how Spirit actually looks Native American with his broader features. HISS Driver looks sweet as does Viper (I hope they adjust those hands). Wild Bill: yes! And I like the idea of Duke with the jetpack and American flag, just don't like the colors.
Can't wait to see Bludd, he's a personal favorite.
Yo Joe!

Snake Eyes, Wild Bill, and HISS Driver are the highlights for me, but I will be grabbing one of each. So much coming out this year - just wish I could find Wave 1 - '08 or Wave 2 Comic packs in store.
Posted 18 January 2008 - 12:25 AM
Posted 18 January 2008 - 02:40 AM
It's been speculated that the reason the Hiss driver wasn't included with the Hiss was because those who don't want the Hiss would complain they have to buy a vehicle they don't want, just to get a Hiss Driver.
Probably have to agree with that. I'd prefer to not get new characters with older vehicles (but I guess I will with Crankcase and Grand Slam). If original drivers are released with vehicles - I'd want them to be updates/new sculpts.
Posted 18 January 2008 - 04:55 AM
Duke - White shirt is kinda unusual but guess they just wanted to get the jetpack out (I presume the flag will come with that's not just a creative digibash on gijoeclub's part.
Wild Bill - Pure awesome
Snake Eyes - Interesting and probably one of the first of his repaints I sorta feel like wanting, though the shades look a little too Black Spidey (thought they were more goggle like?)
Spirit - I've kinda been waiting for Spirit, but he looks like a cigar indian. I even thought momentarily that those ammo cartridges were boxes of cigars. >_< His face seems to have the same wide jawbone thing going on like a lot of the females have.
HISS Driver - This is probably the least interesting one for me.
Viper - Slightly better interest for this one, but I might still go without either of these Cobras this wave. His helmet looks removable which'd be a nice touch though.
So guess there's a tiny amount of counterbalance for those of you who really want that HISS Driver and Vipers, at least around my local area.
Posted 18 January 2008 - 09:11 AM
Love The Hiss driver , i will get about 3 of them
Viper looks a little Boring But maybe its just that PIC. Probably pick up 3-6 of them
Dont need another Snake Eyes, sorry.
Need to see more Wild bill Pics
And No more Dukes Please. (eh Ill still get one for MISB)

It's been speculated that the reason the Hiss driver wasn't included with the Hiss was because those who don't want the Hiss would complain they have to buy a vehicle they don't want, just to get a Hiss Driver.
I sincerely doubt Hasbro puts that kind of illogic into their products. If Hasbro was concerned about not pissing fans off, they'd include a HISS driver with the HISS, *and* on a single card. So no, speculation in that direction doesnt lead anywhere.
The fact is, the Target exclusives were a last-minute thing, and Hasbro's doing it solely with repaints - using molds that were on-hand at the time that the deal was struck. The HISS Driver obviously wasn't on the table at that point, so we got a repainted Officer. I don't imagine the thought process went any further than that, honestly. Certainly not to the extent that Hasbro worried about pissing off a small group of fans that want to army build Drivers without a vehicle to drive.
Posted 18 January 2008 - 10:06 AM
Spirit: I love the new accessories. He turned out better than I thought he would.
Wild Bill: He looks perfect.
Snake Eyes: He's the best of this wave. What is the small silver thing? It looks a little like night vision goggles. He also has the other belt/strap with a loop on it, maybe to hook something onto it.
HISS Driver: He looks fine. I wonder if he has been made to easily fit in the old HISS.
Viper: I hate the hands/wrists. As long as his lower arms will turn I can look past the weird angle, I hate NEO arms. If he has a removable helmet and vest that will make up for the hands.
Posted 18 January 2008 - 10:11 AM
Also not sure if this has been mentioned but if they do Law and Order they can reuse that vest from Wild Bill.
These all look great

As is, I really think that figure was initially designed for Major Bludd (or the torso anyway), and his delay may have more to do with the factory being unable to get both figures out at once than any tweaking on Hasbro's part. Same with Bill, I think Hasbro felt far more comfortable about pushing back a single card figure rather than delay a comic pack (especially with the Doc promotion going on)

After a long absence filled with a busy semester of college and some personal issues that have gotten in the way, I'm back to give my review to this wave.
Duke: Maybe my eyes are playing tricks here, but he looks like he'd fit in more for Winter Ops, though the jetpack would be useful to give to some other character(like Stalker perhaps).
Snake Eyes: At least Hasbro was kind enough to make Snake Eyes a homage to a different version, as opposed to just another repaint. I like how this figure looks.
Wild Bill: The only thing bothering me about the figure is his glasses. The lenses should have been spaced a little further apart...because he looks more like some Hollywood star.
Spirit: This is the best version of Spirit to date, bar none. He deserved a better version even though I didn't care for him much.
HISS Driver: This figure looks great. A true homage to the original and at least we get two great versions of this figure. Also, he can potentially be customized and used for the Rip It character.
COBRA Viper: The arms look really thin and the helmet doesn't quite fit the original's look. Maybe if he has a different head and different set of arms someone can customize him into an Alley Viper.
Getting these figures is definitely not a priority for me...in fact, there are plenty of figures higher on my list that I want.

Only going by Hasbro's statement, they say they're still tweaking him. But if the pics surface, and Major Bludd shares the torso mold with HISS Driver, I'll agree it was a matter of not being able to produce two figures with a single mold for the same production run.
Posted 18 January 2008 - 03:16 PM
Oh and for the record.......I love that Duke.....I know its just the flag and the Jetpack but still....I think the figure looks really sharp for some reason.

Tips for buying that Father's Day Gift!
by Kris Valentine
posted Jun 19 2009 2:42PM
Having trouble trying to figure out what you get dear old dad for Father's Day? Just follow these rules and you should have no problems.
Rule #1: When in doubt, buy him a cordless drill. It does not matter if he already has one. I have a friend who owns 17 and he has yet to complain. As a man, you can never have too many cordless drills. No one knows why.
Rule #2: If you cannot afford a cordless drill, buy him anything with the word ratchet or socket in it. Men love saying those two words. "Hey George, can I borrow your ratchet?" "Okay. By the way, are you through with my 3/8" socket yet?" Again, no one knows why.
Rule #3: If you are really, really broke, buy him anything for his car. A 99 cent ice scraper, a small bottle of de-icer or something to hang from his rear view mirror. Men love gifts for their cars. No one knows why.
Rule #4: Do not buy men socks. Do not buy men ties. And never buy men bathrobes. I was told that if God had wanted men to wear bathrobes, he would not have invented jockey shorts.
Rule #5: You can buy men new remote controls to replace the ones they have worn out. If you have a lot of money, buy your man a big screen TV with the little picture in the corner. Watch him go wild as he flips and flips and flips. Forget the program, your entertainment is watching him have fun!
Rule #6: Do not buy any man industrial-sized canisters of after-shave or deodorant. I'm told they do not stink-they are earthy.
Rule #7: Buy men label makers. Almost as good as cordless drills. Within a couple of weeks there will be labels absolutely everywhere. "Socks. Shorts. Cups. Saucers. Door. Lock. Sink." You get the idea Again, no one knows why.
Rule #8: Never buy a man anything and then tell him he should read the instructions because the box says "some assembly required." It will ruin his special day. He will always have parts left over.
Rule #9: Good places to shop for men include Northwest Iron Works, Parr Lumber, Home Depot, Lowe's, John Deere, Valley RV Center and Les Schwab Tire. (NAPA Auto Parts and Sears Clearance Centers are also excellent men's stores. It doesn't matter if he doesn't know what the gift is. "From NAPA Auto, eh? Must be something I need. Hey! Isn't this a starter for a '68 Ford Fairlane? Wow! Thanks.")
Rule #10: Men enjoy danger. That's why they never cook (but they will barbecue). Get him a monster barbecue with a 100-pound propane tank. Tell him the gas line leaks. "Oh the thrill! The challenge! Who wants a hamburger?"
Rule #11: Tickets to a New York Giants game are a smart gift. However, he will not appreciate tickets to "A Retrospective of 19th Century Quilts." Everyone knows why.
Rule #12: Men love chain saws. Never, ever, buy a man you love a chain saw. If you don't know why, please refer to Rule #7 (Remember what happens when he gets a label maker?)
Rule #13: It's hard to beat a really good wheelbarrow or aluminum extension ladder. Never buy a real man a stepladder. It must be an extension ladder. No one knows why.
Rule #14: Rope. Men love rope. It takes us back to our cowboy origins, or at least the Boy Scouts. Nothing says "I love you" like a hundred feet of 3/8" manila rope. No one knows why.

Thank you for creating AS. When things get a bit to much around here I link up with your blog to wonder what are the Advanced ladies in New York (Paris) up to. It always brings a smile. This understated style suits me in particular. Never underestimate the power of the perfect coat.

She's my idea of what a sophisticated Parisianne looks like. What a gorgeous face and such elegance.
- April 7, 2010 at 5:59 PM
She is beautiful and has elegance; that said I do think it is wonderful to also see more artistic styles as some of the other women on the blog.
Thanks though for all the pictures.

Pinkel's Program Reloaded With A Blank
- Friday, November 13, 2009 12:34 PM
- Written By: Jonathan Crowl
The big talk in Missouri this off-season was that the team wasn't in rebuilding mode -- it was in reloading mode. This was the year where questions plagued Missouri's roster, but Gary Pinkel made a passionate case that this team wouldn't lose a beat, it just wouldn't be the same team. Maybe the offense didn't have Chase Daniel or Jeremy Maclin, but it did have Blaine Gabbert and Danario Alexander, not to mention an experienced defense that was supposed to pick up any slack the offense couldn't handle.
Well, that assessment proved to be grossly misguided in almost every way. It turns out Gabbert, for all his efforts in the off-season to prepare himself to fully fill out Daniel's shoes, is not as a sophomore what Daniel was as a senior. The Tigers' passing yards per game has dropped to 276 yards from 330 yards in 2008. For a number of reasons, the less threatening passing game being one of them, the running game also dropped off sharply this season, from 154 yards per contest to 111.
The result is a steep drop in scoring offense from 42.2 points per game in 2008 to 27.9 in 2009. Two fewer touchdowns a game is a tremendous drop-off, and it's taking its toll.
Then there's the defense, which for all its lauding and praise has only improved marginally, from 27.2 points per game to 24.4, a jump in the national rankings from 69 to 63. Is it pessimistic for me to say that's not making much of a difference in the box score?
Missouri is in the midst of what looked in the preseason like its cakewalk portion of the Big 12 schedule, with games against Colorado, Baylor, Kansas State and Iowa State all strung together. But the Tigers gave up 40 points to a famously-inept Baylor program playing its third-string quarterback, and now they face a Kansas State team trying to stake its claim to surprise team in the nation.
So it turns out the Tigers are who we thought they were -- a program with potential, but not an annual player. I wonder how long they'll give Pinkel to prove strong seasons can come consistently -- and let's remember his track record for producing underwhelming seasons. Prior to 2007, all of the Tigers' records under Pinkel were a disappointment. Even 2008, when they went 10-4, was a letdown after their preseason national title hopes.
I'm not holding my breath. I don't think Pinkel can lead Missouri where it wants to go.
The picks:
Texas at Baylor: I think if Baylor can score seven and hold Texas under 40, it should go down as a moral victory. But then again, who knows? Bears quarterback Nick Florence seems to be getting more comfortable in the pocket and getting more production out of his unit. Maybe they can squeeze a quarter or two of intrigue out of this one.
Missouri at Kansas State: The Karma Gods say Missouri, which has excelled at catching the wrong team at the wrong time, would knock off Kansas State, which has had everything go its way as of late. And while I'm tempted to pick Missouri, I just wrote seven paragraphs blasting almost every aspect of the Tigers' football program and issuing a vote of no confidence in their coach. So consider this an obligatory pick against Missouri rather than for Kansas State.
Colorado at Iowa State: I would enjoy watching this game between two programs headed in opposite directions. I think Colorado could pull it out, because it has had shown some surprising fight recently, and perhaps its mathematically-alive hopes of making a bowl game are fueling the Buffs in this last leg of the regular season. But at home, with the better coach, I'm going with the Cyclones for the win and the bowl eligibility. That's right, Cyclones fans! Book your flights for Shreveport!
Nebraska at Kansas: Is Nebraska's offense worse than Kansas' defense? I'm guessing it is. And I'm guessing you'll see both quarterbacks on Saturday trying to create something, anything on the offensive end. Luckily, Nebraska's defense is not only far superior to Kansas' offense, it's also the best in the country, and debate is almost futile. Go find another defense out there playing alongside an offense that can't even muster 40 passing yards in a game -- find that defense and ask them if they can hold Oklahoma to just three points for an entire game. Only the Blackshirts. They're why Nebraska wins.
Texas A&M at Oklahoma: So every other week, Landry Jones is labeled either the second coming of Sam Bradford or complete garbage. He was complete garbage last week, but I'm guessing A&M makes him look more like a Heisman winner. Sooners win.
Texas Tech at Oklahoma State: Another interesting game. These teams usually have wild games between them, often shootouts. Texas Tech has been a stumbling block for Oklahoma State, but I think the Cowboys will finish the year second in the Big 12 South, and a big step towards that goal is by beating Tech this weekend.

A Lackawanna County judge cited 25-year-old Tina Keller and 23-year-old Drayke Jacobs-Van-Tol. That landed the Taylor couple a court date Tuesday. Judge Vito Geroulo dismissed the contempt citation but warned that the pair could have spent up to six months in jail for what he called the most "intentionally disrespectful" jury form he'd ever seen.
Keller said she let her fiance fill out her summons and she didn't look it over before sending it in. Both of them apologized to the judge.
