Ann Arbor, MI (SportsNetwork.com) - The Nebraska Cornhuskers pay a visit to
the 10th-ranked Michigan Wolverines for a Big Ten Conference clash on
Wednesday night.
Nebraska comes into this contest sporting an 11-9 overall record, which
includes a 3-5 league ledger. The Cornhuskers had opened Big Ten play with
four straight losses, but they have been successful in three of their last
four, including huge wins over Ohio State, Minnesota and Indiana. Nebraska has
been idle since last Thursday's 60-55 win over the visiting Hoosiers, and the
team is still searching for its first true road win of the campaign (0-6).
Michigan recently had an impressive 10-game win streak stopped with a 63-52
loss at Indiana on Sunday. The setback was only the fifth of the season for
the Wolverines, and just their first in conference. Michigan has won nine of
its 10 home games, including the last five.
The Maize and Blue squeaked by Nebraska in Lincoln back on Jan. 9, 71-70, to
take a 9-2 lead in the all-time series. Michigan has won the last five
meetings overall.
Nebraska has one of the Big Ten's top scorers on the roster, as Terran
Petteway ranks second with his 18.2 ppg. Not just valuable at the offensive
end, Petteway grabs 5.3 rpg while also logging 14 blocks and 19 steals.
Shavon Shields (11.0 ppg, 5.7 rpg) is the only other player putting up double
digits on a consistent basis, and the team as a whole is netting 68.7 ppg
thanks to a 35.5 percent effort from 3-point range and a near 71 percent
showing at the free-throw line.
Nebraska trailed Indiana 32-19 at the half, but shot 52.4 percent from the
field in the second stanza to fight its way back, and eventually prevail in
what wound up as a five-point triumph. The Hoosiers were credited with only
eight field goals after intermission, only one of which was from long
distance. Indiana dominated the glass (31-22), but committed 19 turnovers.
Petteway poured in 18 points to pace the Huskers, while Shields (11 points),
Walter Pitchford (11 points) and Ray Gallegos (10 points) all hit for double
figures as well.
There isn't much Michigan doesn't do well, as the team owns positive
differentials in scoring (+11.7), rebounding (+1.8) and turnovers (+2.1). Nik
Stauskas is averaging a team-high 17.8 ppg, and help comes from Glenn Robinson
III (13.1 ppg, 4.3 rpg) and Caris LeVert (12.0 ppg, 4.2 rpg). Four others net
between 5.3 and 9.5 ppg, and the Wolverines are shooting 48.6 percent from the
field, which includes a 39.1 percent showing from beyond the arc. They are
also a solid free-throw shooting squad, converting almost 75 percent of their
Michigan put forth a lackluster shooting performance in the recent loss to
Indiana, knocking down only 3-of-13 3-point tries and just 18-of-45 field goal
attempts in all (.400). Derrick Walton, Jr. paced the club with 13 points,
LeVert had a dozen, and Jordan Morgan came up with 10 rebounds. Conversely,
the Hoosiers drained 53.5 percent of their total shots, including eight treys.

Comments about Cold Water Dye, 2/3 oz., Asst. Colors:
I purchased this product to use for tye-dye t-shirts with our summer camp program. we were able to make 60+ shirts and still have powder left over. The dye didn't bleed and came out very vibrant. They are some of the best tye-dye t-shirts I've ever made. This stuff is much better than purchasing expensive kits that only make 12 shirts at a time. I will definitely be purchasing this again next year.

Toyota - basic info and current lineup
Toyota is worlds' second largest carmaker, headquartered in Japan.
Well known for the quality of its vehicles, Toyota was the first carmaker to use fully robotized car factories, but also the first one to abandon the no-people idea.
Toyota owns and operates Lexus and Scion, as well as many other subsidiaries.
Current Toyota Lineup:
Restyled Aygo is on sale in March, while hybrid Toyota Yaris HSD is scheduled for May.
June is Prius month - that's when Prius plug-in and MPV Prius + will get into stores.
Second generation of Auris and new GT86 are scheduled for the end of the year.
Toyota's SUV flagship, Land Cruiser V8 (4.5l, 286bhp), is redesigned and will be on the market this year.
Cube chaped fog lights have replaced oval ones, and are integrated into a new front bumper, along with daily LED lights.
Front grille is also changed, as well as outside rear view mirrors and back lights.
After many announcements and two concept studies, Toyota has revealed long awaited sport coupe - GT 86. Cooperation with Subaru resulted in many similarities with Subaru's BRZ - it shares the same engine, a 200bhp 2,0l boxer, but has a lower mass center and better mass distribution (front 53%, rear 47%).
Toyota GT86 is successor to legendary Toyota's sport coupes - sport 800, 200 GT and Celica.

Oscar Eye: Awards Season Narratives And What They Mean For 12 Years A Slave And Gravity
Let's talk about the word "narrative." It pops up in Oscar campaigns constantly, and often can mean essentially whatever the pundit in question wants, a way for them to tell themselves-- and hopefully those listening-- a story about why a certain film has an edge. The narrative of Argo's Best Picture win was based around Ben Affleck's Best Director snub, with a healthy side serving of Hollywood's own self-regard in rewarding a story about how a fake movie saved lives

Reviews for Chicago-Style Beef Sandwiches
"While I can't speak to the authenticity of this recipe (having only had the "authentic" version a couple of times), my husband and I found this recipe really YUMMY! Would definitely recommend! :)"
"Mile High Shredded Beef is much better!"
"This was so yummy and very easy to make. Had some leftovers and some leftover broth that I strained and froze to use the next time I need beef broth or stock."
"That is very good point, frazzel, Chicago beef is never shredded but as home cooks, most of use do not have a meat slicer that can slice the beef paper thin as it should be. Shredding for us is the next best thing. Very good recipe. We all enjoyed it."
"This was a big hit! Very good and easy! Don't even need the Giardiniera, but it was good with the meat. I forgot the buns but nobody seemed to mind. Will make it again the next time we have family in from out of town. It was gone before the end of the evening."

The preliminary crash investigation by Trooper Ricky Rayner revealed that Steven Crockett, 33, Union, OH, was driving a 2012 Freightliner semi-tractor, pulling a box trailer, northbound on I-65 near the 230 mile marker. The semi-tractor was being followed by a Jeep Cherokee. The Freightliner and Jeep stopped due to a traffic backup from an approaching work zone. A northbound 2007 Volvo semi-tractor, pulling a box trailer, rear-ended the Jeep pushing it into the back of the trailer being pulled by the Freightliner. The Volvo semi-tractor was driven by Howard Stratton, 55, Grand Rapids, MI. The crash impact ignited a fire which engulfed the Jeep. The fire also burned the cab and part of the trailer on the Volvo. It also burned part of the trailer on the Freightliner.
After firefighters extinguished the flames, at least two people were observed deceased in the Jeep. Stratton was transported by ambulance to St. Anthony's Hospital, in Crown Point, IN, with a complaint of pain to his body. Crockett was not injured.
Due to the severity of the damage to the Jeep, investigators have yet to determine the number casualties inside. The Jeep has been transported to a secured location so emergency personnel can make extrication. At least two bodies were observed in the wreckage at the crash scene.
This is an ongoing investigation, but at this time neither the use of alcohol nor narcotics is suspected as having contributed to this crash. When officers have completed the investigation information will be forwarded to the Jasper County Prosecutor's Office for review.
Crockett was hauling water for Nationwide Truck Brokers based in Troy, OH. Stratton was hauling food items for Griffin Transportation Incorporated based in Grand Rapids, MI.

To avoid stereotyping, I'm not going to say that all Asians like pandas, but we definitely have a soft spot for these adorable bears. Native to south central China, pandas are known for their distinct black and white color and for (despite their large size) having a diet that consists almost entirely of bamboo.
Well many people have decided to incorporate pandas into their own diet. No, I'm not talking about eating our beloved bears. A number of people have found creative ways to incorporate the panda's distinct black and white patches into every day food. The result? Adorable panda-shaped and panda-themed food!
And who wouldn't want food in the shape of these docile, cuddly creatures? Pandas are now considered an endangered species, but people have definitely made up for it by incorporating pandas into just about anything you can think of.
Now riceballs, cookies, pastries, bread, mochi, ice cream, cookies and even coffee can come in an adorable panda shape.

Cantlay not helped by top 10 at Pebble
LOS ANGELES The good news for Patrick Cantlay is that he'll tee it up Thursday at Riviera in his hometown tournament.
He can only hope it doesn't cost him down the road.
Cantlay, who shot 60 at the Travelers Championship in 2011 while still at UCLA, was given a sponsor's exemption to the Northern Trust Open, one of seven he is allowed this year because is not a PGA Tour member. It looked as if he wouldn't have to use it when Cantlay closed with a 67 at Pebble Beach and tied for ninth. Anyone finishing in the top 10 gets into the next open tournament.
But that's when everything seemed to conspire against him.
The field at Riviera is so strong that it already was filled with regular members. There was no room left for top-10 players from the previous week.
"There's only a few occasions in the last five to 10 years when a top-10 category was the last man in the field," said Tyler Dennis, the tour's vice president of competition. As for no one from the top 10 getting in? "Very rare," he said.
James Hahn and Patrick Reed, graduates of the Web.com Tour and Q-school, finished ahead of Cantlay at Pebble. They didn't get in, either, instead going to the top of the alternate list. By Monday, they were in the tournament after Hank Kuehne and Jhonattan Vegas withdrew.
Cantlay ordinarily would have been next on the alternate list. But on noon Monday, he was removed from the alternate list because he already was in the field on a sponsor's exemption. This is his fourth exemption of the year. It would have been handy for Cantlay to save that exemption later in the year.
Dennis said the tour's regulation allows for a player's top-10 finish to carry over into the next event - the Honda Classic, in this case - if he doesn't get in a tournament. But it doesn't apply in this case because Cantlay is playing the Northern Trust Open.
The only way to save that exemption would have been taking a big risk - pull him out of the tournament before noon Monday with hopes that enough players would have withdrawn for him to make it into the field as an alternate.
Pebble Beach was Cantlay's first cut this year, and he made $175,500. That will help in his bid to reach a level where he could get unlimited exemptions. But by having to use the sponsor exemption, it puts a little more pressure on him to play his best in the limited starts he has.
SURPRISE ADDITION: Fredrik Jacobson didn't realize how close he came to qualifying for the Match Play Championship, and he didn't really care. He has struggled with back injuries during his career, so he was mostly happy to feel healthy and tie for seventh at Pebble Beach.
It worked out well in the end.
Jacobson missed out on the last spot at Match Play by 0.0002 points when Patrick Reed birdied the last hole to share seventh place. Two days later, however, Brandt Snedeker withdrew from the Match Play with sore ribs, and Jacobson was in.
He is No. 66 in the world, and a good showing could help him crack the top 50 and get into next World Golf Championship at Doral, and possibly work his way to Augusta.
"There's a lot of points to play for," Jacobson said. "Any week if you play well or have a really good week, you're going to make a jump. Obviously, a week where you're getting a chance to play it's going to make a difference. It's another opportunity. It's a good time in the year for me to get to play quite a bit of golf."

The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry. Unfortunately for me, I don't have a Lenny Small around to shoot and blame for the things that went wrong.
On Saturday I was fixin' to play some Tecmo SuperBowl with my homies when I noticed the red light on the 'Tendo flashing on and off, which to a certain demographic of American males automatically means that any saved progress you had stored in that little gray box has surely scattered to the four winds.
I'm short on time and ideas. Prevailing circumstances have kept me and my homey from finishing Week 3 of the Greatest Season Ever before due time came. Merrill Hoge busted off 179 rushing yards in a game, Vinny T and the Bucs got loose. My homey's Chiefs lost to the Oilers. Both our teams are 2-1. There's a lot of football left to be played.
Now I will channel the ALF of sports analysts, Peter King. From time to time I read his column on SI.com, and that guy has got it made. What an incredibly easy thing to do. I love talking about snackin' and travel and such.
The greatest idea of my awesome life was to find a friend who lives less than a quarter-mile from my place who has Tecmo Super Bowl and likes to play it. We recently began a new experiment — starting a season and putting every single team on "MAN" control.

Can someone PLEASE translate this French article??! And why does Nole look like Jay Leno doing Han Solo???
*clutches stomach*
*passes out*
PS - Big thanks to B2012!
Labels: tennis
holy cow...that is greatReplyDelete
OMG! Pffffffff!!!!! LOVE IT!!!ReplyDelete
"And why does Nole look like Jay Leno doing Han Solo?" - Heeee!ReplyDelete
I needed that laugh to lighten up my stressful day.ReplyDelete
awesome *right click save*ReplyDelete
Absolutely perfect! Congrats to the creator of this amazing portrait!ReplyDelete
I wanna be Darth Vader! I wanna be Darth Vader! Doesn't he spend a fair amount of time *playing* with Luke's...sabre?ReplyDelete
LOL @ murray so much here!
But natch remember: "Luke, I am your father." Ewwwwww.
I'm thinking R2D2 was more than just a droid to Luke - didn't he vibrate and show funny movies?
Ok, I've tried a translation there, but I don't speak English that fluently (even if I undestand it), so don't be surprised if you don't understand everything... Plus, even in French it's hard to undestand sometimes, and it's not that funny (although the names of the characters are quite hilarious !!)
Here you go :
Rafa Skynalder
When he was a growing steamroller, he's been progressively known by a larger audience thanks to the shows he's been part of in the most famous scenes of the Old Continent. He then perfectly embodied the complex myths of Terminator (a French clay crusher) and Rocky IV (an English garden atomizer). Europe was ok, but the world, and even the whole universe were classier, that's why this year, Rafa dreams to give body (and soul ?) to a brand new character, who could be able to save intergalactic humanity and, incidentally, to become the new master of the Yellow Ball planet. His first show was a success Down Under, as it was in the Californian oasis. However, he must ultimately avoid the Dark side of the AMA (will you resist ??) [note :AMA is the French name for World Anti-Doping Agency...].
Princess Murray
He seems to share a family likeness with MrBurns from The Simpsons, but with hair. [I don't undestand the next sentence, even in French] So far, he's been desappointing in the biggest stages where he was expected [to win], destroying all the hope he had created among the bookmakers, just like a Diva mocking her puzzled audience. It was apparently the "Scottish shower" effect [I don't know if this idioms exists in English, but in French having a Scottish shower means that you've lost your hope and that you have to stop all your plans]. This summer, on the green grasses of the United Kingdom, he plans on being crown Queen in place of the Queen : he'll then finally get his lifetime role. That is to say : free the audience of SW19 from its loyalty to Tim Henman, the perfect gentleman, the English Patient for ever. His goal : a honeymoon.
Han Solovic
He's a serbian impresionnist, but he also seems to have a gift for tennis. During his last show at NY, his provocations puzzled his audience, who even booed him. Though, we can count on him, the lonely pilot (he's envied by his peers, his fans reply), to start up again. The delights of javelin throwing may help to cure him... He can also copy his famous fellow-countryman Kusturica (the rest is impossible to undestand, even in French it doesn't make any sense...!)
Robi-Wan Kederer (LOL !!)
He has managed, during quite a few years, to have this unique occupation, reserved for the happy few : God himself. He was glowing in the center of the galaxie because in him the Force was. Seventh heaven, wonderful artistry : flabbergasted audience all around the world, stunned and amazed at the same time to discover that a tennis player was actually able to walk on water (even though he was stumbling on clay). But today, inevitably, it's even more cruel to come back down to earth : tears, Down Under, for this French-speaker who has now known death : the death of his illusions, deep inside him, on stage, for everyone to see it. The legend became a man again, for worse or maybe for better : that is to say being a dad, in a few months. His challenge is now to manage to play the leading role on court... as well as off the court.
Sorry for the mistakes !!
whynotme: WOW - thank you so much for the translation! I actually found parts it really funny. It also gives some interesting insights into these ballers as told through the character's stories. DEFLOVE: "So far, he's been desappointing in the biggest stages where he was expected [to win], destroying all the hope he had created among the bookmakers, just like a Diva mocking her puzzled audience." BWAHAHA!ReplyDelete
*rolls all over the place again* XDDDDDD
Federer's face...
*wipes tears*
Haha this is great! :DReplyDelete
b2012: And Rafa Skynalder could give Zac Efron a run for his money...ReplyDelete
OMG! Zac. XDDD I just nearly sent tea flying in every direction. *wheeeeeeze*ReplyDelete
LOL! Or should we say Zaquisha?ReplyDelete
thats one ugly princess lea...oh well...whats new..andy murray is ugly and thats a fact.lolReplyDelete
Swear to god, I thought Murray was Amelie Mauresmo and it wasn't until I enlarged the photo that I realized it was him.ReplyDelete
Careful Nadal...that's a really long and sharp sword to wipe your ass with....LOL!ReplyDelete
Oh, my stomach hurts from laughingReplyDelete
OMG..... bwhahahahaha!!!!
Anon 11:56, you are so right! He does look like Mauresmo there! XD
And Jay Leno... ROFL...
This made my day! :D
Murresmo??! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Nice.ReplyDelete
RiCH : you're welcome ! It was nice to do it.
Here is an article I found pretty funny : a 25-year-old guy had the chance to hit with both Rafa and Fed, on the same day ! And he even hitted with the Williamses...
Geeze- is the article smearing Rafa's name by saying he uses drugs or are they just talking about his concerns of the current policy (which Murray shares). If it is the first- the French really do seem to hate Rafa (as commentators like Foreget loathe him and the crowds boo him)- and that swipe is unfair and they are trying to ruin his name.ReplyDelete
Here is an article I found pretty funny : a 25-year-old guy had the chance to hit with both Rafa and Fed, on the same day ! And he even hitted with the Williamses...
whynotme then? drats!
Anon 10:31 : It's actually the first. But it's not hatred or anything like that, he doesn't say that he's taking drugs but rather that he HOPES he doesn't take drugs -not quite the same !
Plus, I can tell you that the French don't hate Rafa at all ! On the contrary, he's rather loved (thanks to his RG titles) even maybe more than Roger right now (just like everywhere on the planet, French are really critical about him). And French tv commentators always praise and admire Rafa.
The "booing episode" in Paris had nothing to do with Rafa at all, it's just the (lame) French attitude... They were selfish and disappointed to be deprived of a match with Rafa.
RiCH : LOL ! yeah whynotme ?? Maybe for RG, they'll call a French ! But not a girl unfortunately :(

MCSO hopes truck driver can help with investigation
Published: Wednesday, January 30, 2013 at 6:48 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 30, 2013 at 6:48 p.m.
OCALA – Marion County Sheriff's Office detectives are requesting assistance finding the driver of a truck who may have information about a 64-year-old woman found shot to death in her upscale home shortly after Christmas.
Detectives have released a picture of a black Chevy truck they say is similar to one seen at the victim's home around Dec. 27, 2012. Witnesses described the driver as a white male of medium build who stands between 5-feet 8-inches and 5-feet 9-inches in height and has short dark hair.
Officials believe the owner or driver may have information that could aid their investigation.
The body of Carolyn Wagner was discovered shortly before 11 a.m. Dec. 30 by neighbors in her Lemonwood II subdivision after they noticed a three-day build-up of newspapers in the driveway and an open garage door. They found Wagner lying in bed in a pool of blood.
Anyone with information may be eligible for a reward of up to $2,000 and can call Detective Rhonda Stroup at 369-6845 or Crime Stoppers at 368-STOP.

After I read a sample of Tyra Banks' new novel Modelland a few weeks ago, I thought it sounded like a fashion-themed ripoff of The Hunger Games. However, I got my hands on a copy of the full text, which comes out on September 13, and think there's a lot more going on that just one plotline that reminds me of Suzanne Collins' hugely successful trilogy. The book is also a gateway into the mind of Tyra herself, and there's a lot to be gleaned from peeking into her – or her ghostwriter's – psyche. But what did it teach me about being a model?

Just like you cannot feel your best without proper hydration, thirsty skin cannot look its best. Moisture is a vital component to skin tissue and helps to keep it soft, smooth and supple. The skin is often the first place on the body to be affected by dehydration as moisture evaporates easily from the pores. Without an adequate supply of moisture to replenish what has been lost, your skin suffers, resulting in itching, flaking and redness. The PCA SKIN Moisturizers collection provides nourishing solutions to quench the thirst of parched skin and combat problems associated with dehydration.
Knowing that no two faces are the same, leading medical and skin care experts developed the PCA SKIN Moisturizers line to contain a versatile range of products. As a result, there is a product available in the PCA SKIN Moisturizers lineup for all types of skin. From battling acne to treating signs of irritation, the products in the PCA SKIN Moisturizers collection deliver additional benefits while hydrating the skin for a healthy appearance that will change the way you look in the mirror.
Provide your skin with the moisture it needs to look radiant and feel conditioned with the PCA SKIN Moisturizers collection. This group of hydrating solutions imparts soothing doses of moisture to skin that is dry and irritated. With products for all skin types available in the collection, you will surely find a moisturizer suited to your precise needs
PCA SKIN Collagen Hydrator was designed with the needs of mature skin in mind. The moisturizer uses rich shea butter to hydrate the skin. Versatile enough for use in the morning or evening, the hydrator provides the building blocks to help increase the collagen necessary to strengthen skin tissue and slow the aging process. Additional nutrients contained in the formula include wheat protein, olive fruit oil and sweet almond fruit extract.
PCA SKIN Clearskin is the ideal moisturizer for those concerned that hydrating the face may exacerbate acne problems. While moisturizing the face, the formula also helps limit the growth of bacteria that contribute to acne and decreases the redness caused by acne blemishes. Additionally, the moisturizer's lightweight formula also keeps pores clean in order to reduce future breakouts.
Put an end to redness and inflammation with PCA SKIN Plus Apres Peel Balm, the perfect moisturizer for those with dry, but sensitive skin. The balm makes an excellent treatment for those suffering from discomfort from harsh chemical peels as well. The formula contains .5 percent hydrocortisone to reduce swelling, while milk proteins and olive fruit impart rich, luxurious moisture into the tissue.

Terrorist Screening Center
Leading the U.S. government's consolidated approach to terrorism watchlisting/screening.
That's what the Terrorist Screening Center, or TSC, is all about. Born out of the events of 9/11 and created in 2003, the TSC maintains the U.S. government's consolidated Terrorist Watchlist—a single database of identifying information about those known or reasonably suspected of being involved in terrorist activity.
By supporting the ability of front-line screening agencies to positively identify known or suspected terrorists trying to obtain visas, enter the country, board aircraft, or engage in other activity, the consolidated Terrorist Watchlist is one of the most effective counterterrorism tools for the U.S. government.

sea hawk is a must have. even though i'm not a big fan of pop but would really really want sea hawk.
I can't wait until we get him. I have wanted him for years.
sea hawk is a must have. even though i'm not a big fan of pop but would really really want sea hawk.
Add me to the list of those eager to have Sea Hawk added to our MOTUCverse! And hopefully sooner rather than later!
How can you not love a Space Pirate???
Master of the Mundane
Any character with enough charisma to land Adora is cool in my book.
yes yes yes can't wait for seahawk
Check me out: www.patrickireland.net
Easily my most-wanted filmation figure. We need a pirate in motuc.
Photog is here! thank you, Mattel!
Now how about some mini-comics love (like Lodar, Geldor, Dakon......)? And Mermista?
Now that we have Ms. Weaver, I gotta have Sea Hawk. He better be on the short list for Filmation characters, or Toyguru and I are gonna have a little "chat".
More Vintage NA for MOTUC in 2017!!
MOTUC Top Ten pre-SDCC wants: KAYO, Hoove, Drissi, Crystoll, Chef Allen, any Catra variant, Quakke, Nocturna, Red Knight, Clawdeen (flocked)
Great .org transactions: sdilks, Man-E-Toys, bigassbuzz x2, Climan, wolvie3579, air23cnhit, Jestermon, Skystalker
Sea Hawk is a MUST! Now that Shadow Weaver is done, my top Filmation figures are Scorpia, Madame Razz, and Sea Hawk!
"Yep! And now I'm gonna blast ya!"
- Orko to Skeletor in "Lessons"
Right here. I'll buy one! Bow needs a brother... in addition to Josh.
I love an all inclusive canon!
Yup - they'd HAVE to go with the translucent shield and rapier.
I can't wait for this guy!
My MOTUC most wanted: Granita, Delora, and Hunga
I can't see Mattel NOT making him; he's easy to put together. A new vest for his torso, a head, a scarf, and new forearms. Unless they give him the Seven League Boots, his swashbuckler boots are needed for Blade, anyway. All the other parts would be standard.
I'm sure we'll see him, likely sooner than later. Now that they have the Filmation and other rights, I can't see Mattel wasting them.
"I will use this power for all the good that can be done, to work for peace, to encourage virtue, and above all, to preserve life in all its forms..." Superman
Yeah, now that Mattel has access to the Filmation characters, I'd be VERY surprised if Sea hawk wasn't already in the 'master plan' of coming figures.
That said, I would very much want Sea hawk, even more than say Ram Man!
No comment.
Ive only seen a handful of POP episodes so im not all familiar with this character, but he's pretty cool looking and I wouldn't mind a figure of him.
No, thx, not for me...
I'll definitly take one, please!
I can't belive Sea Hawk hasn't his own thread!!!!
The oracle says that in 2012 will be very possible to see his figure release, so he has to have his thead.
Please 4H include the 2 versions of boots, the normal ones and the Falcon's powered ones. Also include his ring of power in his finger, and his little mouse friend
I missed something??
How have I not chimed in with my support here?
Yes to Sea Hawk!!!
Not to sound like a creepy cheerleader for Uki, but it's nice to know there is at least one person on this forum who is extremely positive & friendly all the time. I don't think I could be that nice even if you paid me. If we ever give out awards for "forum member of the month", Uki gets my vote. -Mr. Shokoti
Instagram & Snapchat: Just_Thommy
I definitely support him being made but I just hope that the neck tie is removable...important character to POP story line and potentially cool accessories!
Who wouldn't want a rebel space pirate in their collection?
Not only will Bow finally have someone to discuss the pros and cons of ascots with, but Adora will also be able to get some loving since Bow will be taking his newfound knowledge of ascots over to Eternia to impress Adam.
I hope he comes with a translucent yellow laser/energy sword and shield. The shield in particular is very cool looking and will make a nice change from the more "traditional" shields that most of the MOTUC figures come with.
No, Bow doesn't want Adam. He wants the daddy bear Fisto.
But, I totally want a Sea Hawk. I love the character, and the concept. He should have the plasma cutlass or laser rapier, the shield, and a separate handle that can fit on his belt. Its more sturdy then removable, or else u end up with breakage, like Hasbro's lightsabers
Tell me about the loneliness of good, He-Man. Is it equal to the loneliness of evil?
I must possess all, or I possess nothing!
im beting if their are more to come for filmation characters we will see sea hawk. i cant imagine this line not making sea hawk.

Movies: 'Les Misérables' tops Christmas box office
Lucky for "Les Misérables," it seems moviegoers were in the mood for music this Christmas.
Tom Hooper's adaptation of the Broadway musical grossed about $17.5 million at the box office, beating other new releases such as "Django Unchained" and "Parental Guidance," according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Quentin Tarantino's "Django," which has received rave reviews from movie critics, despite Spike Lee's disapproval, earned at least $14 million. As The Hollywood Reporter points out, "Django" had the biggest Christmas Day opening for an R-rated film to date.
"The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" nabbed third place with $10.8 million, while the Billy Crystal- and Bette Midler-starrer "Parental Guidance" came in fourth, earning about $7 million.

Read on to see how much this cowgirl wedding in Wisconsin cost, hear what Nikki would have done differently and to find out her exciting future plans! Please note that costs change as the years go by, and prices are subject to change. This is just one couple's breakdown to give you a rough estimate on how much a wedding like this may cost you.
The BIGGEST thing I would've done differently is not procrastinated so much! I did not realize how long even some of the smallest a details would take to do (like the seating plan done 2 days before the wedding - gulp!). I LOVED doing so much of the wedding on my own, but I should've listened to what my mom has said about life, "Things always take longer than you think!" Because seriously, why did I think I'd want to be designing our programs late into the night before my wedding!? I should've been enjoying my time with friends and family!! For whatever crazy reason, I thought that by getting things done early I'd be "that girl" who has things bought for her wedding without even having one scheduled. Now I know that those girls are wise!
Not that there was anything that I could change about the situation, but I would've never guessed that planning a wedding from across the country could be so challenging. That in and of itself contributed to half of my time scheduling problems...I didn't think that it would be all that different, but everyone has lives and when you're not there in person to discuss details or arrangements, it just takes that much longer to respond and receive a response.
Our budget very loosely is as follows (because I did so much myself and with friends/family we paid a lot in smaller chunks):
Venue and food/drink: $16,000
Decorations (including flowers): $900
Photography and live music: $5500
Bride's accessories and grooms outfit including boots (my dress was a gift from my aunt the seamstress): $1000
Paper goods: $750
Groomsmen/Bridesmaid gifts (handmade kimono robes and jewelry and silk ties): $500
Other misc: ~$1500
And...as a completely shameless plug: since doing so many DIY elements of my own wedding, I really had total control to make everything "us." This was such an important requirement for both Robbie and I. Never did I think that in staying true to ourselves that we'd get such an overwhelming response to all the various details - especially the invitations. So much so that I've now had multiple requests for me to design custom wedding invitations! It's slowly getting off the ground, but my little design "studio" (aka the space our dog lets me steal from his toy room) is open for business! The Nuptial Necessities is such a labor of love. And I find myself dedicating more time dreaming of designs for brides than I did even for my own! www.thenuptialnecessities.com should be live on the interwebs soon! Stay tuned! Any interested brides can contact me in the meantime via the contact me section of my own wedding website! -Nikki

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Republican Ken Cuccinelli is planning his first policy speech in Richmond as his Democratic rival in the governor's race tours Virginia through Thursday in what he's calling an official campaign launch.
A Richmond yogurt parlor is the venue for Cuccinelli's news conference Tuesday outlining tax reform and job development proposals. He also seeks to shift attention from his links to a nutritional supplements maker who is under a federal securities investigation.
The Republican attorney general's event comes amid a statewide "official launch" of Democratic rival Terry McAuliffe's campaign, done six months after he declared his candidacy.
McAuliffe has events in Roanoke and Danville on Tuesday, Bristol on Wednesday and a wrap-up Thursday in Arlington.
A Sunday Washington Post poll showed Cuccinelli leading McAuliffe 46 percent to 41 percent.

Colorado's Olympic swimmer Amy Van Dyken-Rouen severed spine in ATV crash
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - Colorado's Olympic gold-medal winning swimmer, Amy Van Dyken-Rouen, severed her spine in an ATV crash in Arizona, according to Swimming World Magazine.
She told emergency workers she could not move her toes or feel anything touching her legs after the accident on Friday.
A report by the Show Low Police Department said the ATV that Rouen was driving hit a curb in a restaurant parking lot and sent her over a drop-off between 5 to 7 feet.
Rouen was found lying on the ground next to the ATV.
7NEWS talked to a woman who at a wedding rehearsal at a restaurant near where the accident happened. She said her husband, a firefighter and an off-duty emergency room doctor, treated Amy for about 15 minutes until emergency units arrived.
An online article quotes a statement from Van Dyken-Rouen's family as saying, "Amy's spinal cord was completely severed at the T11 vertebrae, but, miraculously, a broken vertebrae stopped within millimeters of rupturing her aorta, and she did not suffer any head trauma. Amy awoke within hours of surgery acting like her typical spunky, boisterous, ebullient self and has spent the last 24 hours entertaining her family and her medical staff in the ICU. She has made at least one male nurse blush."
The statement on Swimming World Magazine's website also said, "Amy has overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles before, winning 6 Olympic gold medals and becoming one of the greatest female athletes of her generation despite battling lifelong chronic asthma. Now this is her new challenge, her new battle. With the unconditional love and support of her friends, family and fans, Amy welcomes the challenges she will face as she opens this new chapter of her life."
Van Dyken is married to former Denver Broncos punter Tom Rouen.
"Prayers for Amy Van Dyken. Just heard from her husband Tom Rouen and she is in life threatening condition after ATV accident," tweeted former Broncos kicker Jason Elam.
However, Van Dyken-Rouen appeared to be in good spirits. A tweet from her account Sunday said, "Never get us all together anymore. This is amazing. I have the best family."
She also posted a photo on Instagram of a drawing from her niece and nephew.
"They are so sweet. Made me smile. #hospitalsSuck," Van Dyken-Rouen tweeted.
On Monday, her family said Van Dyken-Rouen was in good condition at Scottsdale Healthcare Osborn Medical Center.
"For her to have really have fractured a T-11, it must have been a tremendous amount of force and energy," said Dr. Vikas V. Patel, a spine surgeon at University of Colorado Hospital. "It's a huge amount of force required to, basically, take one half of the spine and go one direction and the other half go the other direction. Everything from that injury below will lose function."
Patel described the T-11 vertebrae as just above the lower back. He said if you put your hand to your back, the T-11 would be about where your thumb hits.
"To me, to have a fracture like this means that most likely there was so much force involved that the ATV was on top of her," said Patel. "When it comes to a spinal cord injury itself and severing the spinal cord, it means that the signals are not going to be able get through from the brain down to the legs."
"Is this person going to be paralyzed for the rest of their life? We can predict it just looking at the morphology, but we can't say for sure," said musculoskeletal radiologist MK Jesse.
She showed 7NEWS a CT scan and an MRI of a similar spinal injury and explained what she looks for to understand the severity of the injury.
"When will that get better? How will this person recover? It is a little bit of a person-to-person, case-to-case basis," said Jesse.
"We really won't know what's going to recover and how much it's going to recover," said Patel. "The spinal cord can continue to recover over two years' time before it really reaches that maximum recovery stage."
Rouen starred at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, where she became the first U.S. female athlete to win four gold medals in a single games. She captured the 50-meter freestyle and 100 butterfly and also competed on the winning relay teams in the 400 free and 400 medley.
Four years later at Sydney, she added two more golds in the 400 free and 400 medley relays before retiring from competition.
"Being an athlete is huge. Knowing that she's overcome such adversities already and has the perseverance and the strength and the drive to be the athlete that she is, is going to be needed in her recovery," said Patel.
Van Dyken-Rouen and her husband moved to Arizona several years ago.

your birth photography questions answered

Birth Photography. If you haven't heard of it or seen a session you must have been living under a rock. National news sources as well as hundreds of local broadcasts, blogs, and articles have covered the new trend of Birth Photography and while some people love the sessions, others despise the idea. Regardless of your opinion, this is one trend that is growing quickly and doesn't appear to be going away any time soon.

text: By Russ PankoninThe Imperial Republican With most of their business taken care of, board members of the Upper Republican Natural Resources District (URNRD) spent about an hour at a recent regular meeting talking about regulations proposed for water-short years. Last month, the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources (DNR) proposed three options that NRDs in the Republican Basin can choose from as a last resort to stay in compliance during a water-short year. DNR remains focused on a way to keep Nebraska in compact compliance with Kansas when a water-short year occurs. If the basin NRDs cannot find a way to fund compliance projects, such as surface water leasing or augmentation, regulation will be the only option. Manager Jasper Fanning said the NRDs still hope new language can be adopted by the Legislature to insure that an occupation tax remains constitutional. Presently, that matter rests with a Lancaster District Court, with arguments slated for December. The occupation tax, along with an unconstitutional property tax, were part of LB 701 sponsored by Sen. Mark Christensen of Imperial and passed in the 2007 Legislative session. Two of DNR's three proposals call for shutting off wells near streams, rivers and tributaries in the basin in water-short years. The owners of these wells would not be compensated for the action. Board member Tom Terryberry of Imperial said he's opposed to just shutting off irrigators without any compensation. "That's not what the board wants," he said. Terry Martin, a board member from Benkelman, said the basin NRDs are all working to find solutions. Fanning said he's uncomfortable writing shut-off regulations into the NRD's integrated management plan, but it looks like the DNR will settle for nothing less. Fanning also expressed concern about the lack of unity throughout the basin in seeking common solutions to the shut-downs. He was specifically referring to three editorials that appeared in The Kearney Hub written by the manager of the Lower Republican NRD. In each letter, he referred to upstream NRDs, and particularly the URNRD, for over-pumping and groundwater aquifer depletions. Fanning said these comments do not exactly foster a spirit of cooperation when the basin needs it the most. He noted the LRNRD has some responsibility for compact compliance based on some of their past usage patterns as well. Fanning said Sen. Tom Carlson of Holdrege is looking at legislation on areas where groundwater decline is occurring. That would include the URNRD and another NRD in the panhandle. Frankly, the people who should manage those declines are the people where those declines are occurring, Fanning noted. Board members also discussed transfers as a way to compensate irrigators who get shut down. Terryberry said transfers still need to be managed to guard against aquifer declines in certain areas. No action was taken on any of the discussion. DNR held a roundtable meeting on their proposal in Imperial Wednesday night.

A Nest of Carbon VipersSunday, October 31st, 2010
Source: SPPI
by Dennis Ambler
Vast sums of money, influence and power are involved in carbon mitigation schemes, and yet there is never any mention in the media of these massive and lucrative conflicts of interest. They appear quite content swallowing the diversionary tactics pushed by the likes of the best place to buy doxycycline pills online at the cheapest price and of extra quality! DeSmog Blog and Greenpeace ExxonSecrets with their claims of "oil- company funded deniers". It is doubtful that mainstream journalists ever bother to look behind the scenes at these people, yet it is all available on official websites.
It is no wonder that Christiana Figueres wanted the Kyoto Mechanism to continue, when she addressed the UNFCCC Tianjin Conference on the 4th of October, because without it her friends in the carbon business would find their virtual world starting to disappear, as evidenced by the recent problems at the Chicago Climate Exchange.

Thinking spring…
March 27, 2014
Maybe just maybe, Old Man Winter has made his grand exit. OK-that might be slightly premature, but having dodged a forecasted snowfall here in southern Maine yesterday, I feel the need to feel to good about something, when it comes to the winter we have had here and you, too, if you have ploughed (er, plowed) your way through this interminable cold season.
It goes without saying that this winter had major impacts, none of which were really good, in terms of supply chain efficiency for the most part. That is, unless, missed shipments, delays, and backlogs, are suddenly key objectives among shippers (they are not…). But with Opening Day in less than one week and forecasted snow not falling–at least not yesterday- it seems like a good time to look back at what everyone dealt with and how, hopefully, things get better from a volume and timing perspective for all supply chain stakeholders.
Looking at the motor carrier market, one thing stands out above basically everything else on the truckload side: capacity was, is, and will likely remain tight, with some shippers and carriers saying it is as tight as they have seen it in years.
As you have read in the print edition of LM and on this site, that thesis could hold firm, aside from the weather, due to things like the ongoing driver shortage, the regulatory drag from CSA and now HOS that continues to crimp capacity, and a relatively slow economic recovery, although things are certainly moving in the right direction, with key metrics like ISM's manufacturing and non-manufacturing data, retail sales, truck tonnage and rail and intermodal volumes showing some promise.
On the other side, housing data in recent months has slowed down, which could potentially hinder freight growth in the coming months at a time when all supply chain and logistics sectors could certainly benefit from an uptick. With "spring selling" season coming up, coupled with (hopefully) a return to better weather, perhaps housing will regain the momentum we saw not all that long ago.
And the upstart commitment on behalf of consumers to all things e-commerce obviously needs a watchful eye. We have all seen how more and more e-commerce activity has a direct effect on supply chain operations, whether it be for order fulfillment, inventory optimization, and reverse logistics, among other things.
These are just a few examples of things we are seeing, hearing, and writing about in print and online. There are a whole host of others to keep an eye out for sure. But as the seasons change, market conditions can, too, not that they necessarily will. That is still to be determined. While what happens in the coming months remains an unknown for now, at least we will hopefully get a little warmer as things unfold.

Dr. E. Faye Williams, Esq., Chair of the National Congress of Black Women (NCBW) said the following about President Barack Obama's State of the Union message.
"President Obama was perfect in his SOTU message to bring the country back together and he challenged us, especially Congress, to get to work on things that really matter to the people. He said about everything we wanted him to say. It was a definite forward moving speech. He was conciliatory; yet, he was specific and strong. He was very clear in his call to action for all of us. He took the high road in his outreach to Congress. He was positive, energetic and firm. He was inspirational and strong.
The President reviewed some of his accomplishments that too many seem to have forgotten as they judge his record on a daily basis. Unfortunately, it seems that some are determined to take us back instead of helping the President to move forward.
I was happy to see him take the lead on raising the minimum wage, and highlighting Costco as an example of a company that has taken the lead in fairly and successfully compensating its employees. I like shopping at a place like Costco where the employees are happy and willing to serve!
The women in Congress made us proud as they energetically applauded the President on his standing up for women. NCBW represents women and their families, and we know how hard it is for some of them to lift their families above the poverty line and to adequately provide for them. Women need a raise, and as he reminded us, 'When women succeed, America succeeds.'
He masterfully dealt with both foreign and domestic policy. We are so ready to end the war in Afghanistan and to close Guantanamo. We, in NCBW, understand and accept our responsibility in joining the President to strengthen the Voting Rights Act and to resolve the Immigration crisis. We know that we, too, have a job to do in supporting our wounded warriors and in working at the local and state levels to get others to raise the minimum wage and provide jobs for those in need.
By bringing the wounded warrior to the SOTU as a special guest and talking about the role his family and his community play in strengthening Sgt. 1st Class Cory Remsburg, the President reminded all of us of our obligation to family and to strengthening our communities. His message was uplifting and full of hope that he will do everything he can to resolve the challenges our people face."

Even with the disappointing outcome of the World Cup Finals the night of the game was still great. Marc really wanted to watch the game in Museumplein with about 200,000 of his country men and women so that is where we headed! We got there around 6pm so we could witness and be a part of the excitement and partying. But the day didn't start at the Museumplein and neither did the partying…it was going on ALL over the city! As you can see [above], football fans come in all ages and sizes…
And as my luck would have it the day of the World Cup Finals my bike had a flat tire but as Marc and I waited for it to be fixed Marc found lots of inspiration for his photographs..
-Tres Chic in her Orange-
Once my tire was fixed we were off to join in with the rest of the city…
Believe it or not I actually have NO orange in my wardrobe here so I had to DIY something really quick…I grabbed Marc's Polo orange belt and was ready to go! We cheered with some more fans along the way…
And of course the scene once we got to Museumplein was one of pure craziness and insanity….we couldn't wait to join in!
And then the cans of Orange smoke were opened in anticipation of the game…these fans were going crazy!
What came next was beautiful too! There were multiple helicopters circling above the field and they started to throw out orange flowers over the crowd! If you look closely in the picture below you can see the flowers being released.
Caught one!
It was such an amazing feeling to be with all these people for the game…every attempted goal, every foul, every good or bad play received a reaction from the crowd and at times you could literally feel the ground move. We all know the unfortunate outcome and I can only begin to imagine how this city would have celebrated a Holland victory…something I wish I could have experienced. I am sure a Houseboat or 2 would have been sunk. As we rode home through the now quiet Vondel Park, Marc just kept repeating how he couldn't believe they had lost. He was so sad The experience was an amazing one for me and one I will not soon forget. I have a feeling the following words or something of the sort â€I was living in Amsterdam when the Dutch were in the 2010 WC finals…†will be coming out of my mouth for years to come.Didn't have enough? Then go and read Henry's take on it. Like Lauren, he's an American expat, but a more 'experienced' and on topic one :).
