Here 2013: Kate Moross and her DIY ethos will pull you out of your blues
It doesn't matter how creative you might be – every now and again the sheer monotony of the daily slog can drag you into a little grey pit of dullness and boredom. You can't help it, it's just how it goes. Peaks and troughs, right?
"Right!" I hear you cry! And troughs are rubbish! So to help ease your fatigue and give you a boost of innovation, over the coming weeks we'll be publishing the brilliant talks which took place at Here 2013 earlier on this summer, on the It's Nice That audio-visual channel First Broadcast.
Here 2013 saw us gather together some of most exciting and engaging talents around for a festival of creativity, to share their insights and inspirations with an audience of more than 600 delegates. Graphic artist and art director Kate Moross was just one of those cage-rattling speakers; her rousing talk focused on her own take on "DIY Punk Ethos," and the sheer simplicity which the digital age has opened up for creatives. In short, if you don't know how to do something, go on YouTube and find out, because there are no limits to what you can do or be. I can think of no better way to blow away those cobwebs.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

STW Resources To Demonstrate OriginOil's Frack Water Recycling Technology On Permian Basin Water 0 comments
This morning, OriginOil Inc. (OOIL) announced plans to demonstrate OriginOil's CLEAN-FRAC™ solution at a disposal well site in the Permian Basin to STW Resources Holding Corp. (OTCQB:STWS) customers.
"We have been impressed with OriginOil's technology; the water quality tests to date show compelling results and the system's operating costs are significantly lower than other technologies on the market," stated Stanley Weiner, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Testing and demonstrating the CLEAN-FRAC process on our water here in West Texas is the next step in commercial implementation. We are confident these sales demonstrations have strong prospects of leading to system installations at multiple sites throughout the Permian and Eagle Ford regions.
STW Resources consults and provides customized water analysis, reclamation and remediation services to a variety of complex oil and gas produced and flowback water, brackish water, industrial, and municipal applications throughout several geographic locations. The company posted nearly $2m in gross revenues for 2013 and trades at roughly 23 times earnings so this venture puts a demonstratable clean frac technology not only in front of a large company like STW but it also translates to the company's current client base.
Bill Charneski, President of OriginOil's Oil & Gas Division, stated, "We believe their partnership offers immense opportunities for integration of CLEAN-FRAC in commercial applications. We look forward to working with their customer base which covers 35 counties in Texas and New Mexico."
There are currently more than 30 large oil and gas producers in the Bakken region which include the likes of ConocoPhillips (NYSE:COP), Continental Resources (NYSE:CLR), EOG Resources (NYSE:EOG), and Occidental Petroleum (NYSE:OXY) to name a few. The Permian Basin in Texas and New Mexico is the nation's most prolific oil producing area. Six formations within the basin have provided the bulk of Permian's 60% increase in oil output since 2007. Crude oil production in the Permian Basin has increased from a low point of 850,000 barrels per day (bbl/d) in 2007 to 1,350,000 bbl/d in 2013.
Crude oil production from Permian Basin counties has exceeded production from the federal offshore Gulf of Mexico region since March 2013, making the Permian the largest crude oil producing region in the United States. In 2013, the Permian Basin accounted for 18% of total U.S. crude oil production.
As far as the amount of water it takes to frack that, we're talking an average of 3 barrels of water per 1 barrel of produced shale oil, which means astronomical amounts of H2O needed to pull billions of barrels of oil from the Permian Basin, alone!
"We are very excited and confident about the opportunity to demonstrate CLEAN-FRAC at a Permian Basin disposal well site. We will be processing both frac flowback and produced water from regional oil and gas wells, which will constitute a totally different influent water quality than water flowing back from gas wells in Colorado," stated Lee Portillo, Vice President of Engineering for OriginOil.
For the oil & gas industry, OriginOil is helping clean up produced water and recycle fracking water, to reduce harm to the environment and lower costs. The EWS technology both saves money through cleaning frack water flowback and it also curbs energy usage on project sites by more than half that of the major market players.
The company has been undertaking intense research and development during the first half of the year to quickly build on its EWS technology as noted by the most recently filed quarterly report. OriginOil's focus has been on an aggressive licensing and private label strategy as opposed to a simple equipment sales program. According to management, they see this as much more fruitful long-term revenue generation strategy and for early investors, this could mean much larger upside potential once the company signs new contracts for future licensees.Back To Small Cap Reporter's Instablog HomePage »

Amazon.com Review
An Amazon Best Book of April 2015: It is a testament to T.C. Boyle's worldview and authorial skill to say that, while The Harder They Come is not always a taut narrative, it is a book that embraces the reader and takes him where he's supposed to go. After opening with a tightly-plotted set piece (in which one of three main characters kills a local bandit after his cruise ship lands in Costa Rica), the novel settles down into a more leisurely pace. We are introduced to Sten, a seventy-year-old former marine (he killed the bandit), who lives in Mendocino County, California with his wife Carolee. He's not particularly proud of what he did in Costa Rica, even if it garners him a little local acclaim. Sten is more concerned about his twenty-something son, Adam, who calls himself Colter after the real-life, wilderness-inhabiting guide for Lewis and Clark. Adam/Colter, who is living in the woods and descending into some serious mental health issues, has taken up with Sara Jennings, a fortyish woman inclined toward libertarianism. The other thing that Sten is concerned about is a group of local drug mules who are poisoning the forest around his community and generally raising havoc. These concerns conspire to lift the pace of the novel around the midpoint, where violence starts its inevitable creep back into the story. Reading The Harder They Come works on two levels—it's a fun, thoughtful novel and it's a darker rumination on the intersection between the myth of the west and the reality of it. This is an enjoyable novel that balances story with big ideas. The more I think about it, the more in awe I am of Boyle's talent. – Chris Schluep
"[T]hrilling… Boyle can paint a scene in vibrant colors…. [with] characters, who, to his credit, occupy a dark space between psychosis and Americana..." (Entertainment Weekly)
"...A full-throated Harley Davidson of a novel... using some of fiction's least fashionable attributes, social realism, pointed action...to brilliantly dissect America's love affair with violence…[Boyle's] prose manages to be both vivid and sharp, patient and pressing.. Boyle's writing never loses energy or descriptive power." (Los Angeles Times)
"...Boyle tellingly explores the anger, paranoia, and violence lurking in the shadowlands of the American psyche. A powerful and profoundly unsettling tale." (Library Journal (starred review))
"This new work of fiction from Boyle presents a fractured threesome: a 70-year-old ex-Marine, his troubled son and the son's older girlfriend-a right-wing anarchist. A dark novel, The Harder They Come explores violence and the American psyche." (Houston Chronicle)
"T.C. Boyle again explores his favorite territory, the American psyche, in
"When precisely...does T.C. Boyle sleep? In the 35 years since his first book came out, Boyle has published 14 novels and more than 100 stories. The Harder They Come is the usual T.C. Boyle...circus of serious-minded zaniness." (The Millions)
"Boyle's...hypnotic narrative probes the complexities of heroism, violence, power, and resistance...Written with both clarity and compassion, each of the novel's characters inhabits a rich and convincing private world. As they traverse a landscape none of them control, their haunting stories illuminate the violent American battle with otherness." (Publishers Weekly)
"Boyle has long been one of the most exciting and intelligent storytellers in the United States. His upcoming novel describes a mentally ill young man involved with a group of violent anarchists." (Washington Post)
"The latest from a prolific and acclaimed novelist, The Harder They Come is a family saga that maps the relationships between the three people at its heart, as their potent mix of violence and paranoia urges them toward tragedy." (Huffington Post)
"Written with both clarity and compassion, each of the novel's characters inhabits a rich and convincing private world. As they traverse a landscape none of them control, their haunting stories illuminate the violent American battle with otherness." (Booklist)
"New York Times-best-selling author T.C. Boyle explores the volatile relationships between an aging veteran, his unstable son, and the son's much older lover in The Harder They Come." (Buzzfeed, 27 Of The Most Exciting New Books of 2015)
"A maximalist scribe of gothic melodrama, Boyle takes you on a manhunt through Californian pot groves, grisly Caribbean cruises, and Orwellian animal shelters before landing in horribly familiar territory: a disillusioned psychotic white guy with a gun. Still, plenty of sex, booze, and satire to lighten things up." (GQ)
Fifteen years ago, Boyle told The Paris Review that he was 'writing novels of social engagement...These same concerns appear in The Harder They Come... It is not a cheerful book. The best ones never are." (Newsweek)
"Set in Northern California and rooted in actual events, The Harder They Come is a meditation on violence, specifically in the context of American history and culture. The text examines the connections between three damaged and explosive yet sympathetic people." (Brooklyn Daily Eagle)
"The Harder They Come is the 66-year-old Boyle's 15th novel, displaying his characteristic energy, smart cultural references and talent for physical description. It's the emotional element that takes second place here, though, leaving an unfinished feel to the work." (Cleveland Plain Dealer)
"Boyle is a genius at capturing social microcosms and excavating emotions simmering beneath the surface of contemporary America...A gripping and revelatory tale." (BBC Between the Lines)
"...The pendulum swings back to high-adrenaline zaniness and pertinacious, destructive misfits. Individualism remains central, but unlike San Miguel, it's far from contemplative. It is a juggernaut, twisted to borderline psychotic." (BookPage)
"[S]tunning… It's gripping, funny and melancholy…The Harder They Come is a masterly - and arresting - piece of storytelling, arguably Mr. Boyle's most powerful, kinetic novel yet." (Michiko Kakutani, New York Times)
"[A] searing and masterful account of American violence and disaffection." (San Francisco Chronicle)
"[M]arvelous… thrilling, intense... [T]he story and the characters...are amazing. Early in his career, Boyle could be pointlessly intense... His late style...is something to behold; it has the same verve and pace, but in service now to an adroit realism. " (USA Today)
"Boyle's tart and exuberant powers of description, of people and places, and his cheerful black humor are as exhilarating as ever." (Minneapolis Star Tribune)
"The Harder They Come is the 66-year-old Boyle's 15th novel, and it displays his characteristic energy, smart cultural references and talent for physical description." (Dallas Morning News)
"Boyle always writes well and has never shied away from challenging issues." (Houston Chronicle)
"A gripping read and a powerful commentary on American themes of self-reliance and anti-authoritarianism… eerily prescient." (The Brooklyn Rail)
"In his 15th novel, the author of The Tortilla Curtain and Drop City probes the psyches of three combustible characters... Sparks will fly." (Newsday)
"Like the best of his work, Boyle's no-frills narration makes for a fascinating journey up to the final page." (Paste Magazine)
"T.C. Boyle is a master at exposing the American psyche in his fiction. His new novel The Harder They Come is yet another stunning example, an engaging portrait of family, violence, and anarchy." (Largehearted Boy)

Adam is the son of Sten Stensen, a seventy year old Vietnam vet and retired High School principal. The outset of Boyle's tale finds Sten and his wife, Carolee, vacationing down in Costa Rica where they find themselves on a "nature tour" traveling for too long over rough jungle terrain in a rickety bus full of their fellow slightly hungover tourists. When they finally arrive at their destination, the bemused travelers are set upon by a gang of three local thugs, one of whom brandishes a gun. In the confusion, Sten's military training prevails. Boyle tells us: "What he'd learned as a nineteen-year-old himself, a recruit, green as an apple, wasn't about self defense, it was about killing, and does anybody ever forget that?" Ineluctably, Sten is able to overcome the gun-toter, putting him in a choke hold and keeping him there, perhaps a bit too long, until the boy goes limp in his arms.Read more ›
I'm a big fan of Boyle's but was hoping for more from this novel.
The first part, with the scary Costa Rica tourist incident, pulls you right in, and I was hoping we'd stay with this couple as main story.
The inner voice of the deranged son was tiresome. The novel uses many different voices, and the plot keeps stepping a few paces back in time as it switches voices, which I found annoying. So a first person character will be describing an event as if just happening but you just read about already from another character and it seemed to be in the past. Stops the forward movement. Also I didn't believe the character of Sara, the farrier. It takes more than a little tool bag to shoe horses and exotic African ungulates.
And after such an ungrateful review let me add he's still my favorite contemporary author! Worth reading, maybe it's just me.
From this point, the novel shifts among three people: Sten; his mentally ill son Adam, who is obsessed with guns and survivalism; and Adam's lover, Sara, an anarchist who refuses any interaction with a government she considers to be illegitimate. There is also a fourth character, since Adam calls himself "Colter" and channels the story of this hardened trapper of the Lewis and Clark expedition. The "Colter" character is a brilliant device for getting inside the mentality of the cold, unstable Adam.
The novel is a compelling exposition of free-floating anti-government paranoia, from Sara's refusal to wear a seatbelt to Adam's intention (nurtured in adolescence by video games) to do as he pleases, without interference from other people, whom he calls "aliens" and "hostiles."
Boyle has written a book that does for murderous right wing fantasies what Phillip Roth's "American Pastoral" did for murderous left wing fantasies. Neither book explains the American penchant for violence in the name of a utopia, but they sure do illuminate it.
M. Feldman
T. C. Boyle seriously spoiled my reading ratings with three of the most fantastic five-star novels ever written: The Road to Wellville, Riven Rock and Tortilla Curtain. Many other novels, including many of Boyle's own, have a hard time measuring up.
The Harder They Come: A Novel, a story about whack-jobs and weirdos (does T. C. write about any other?), is certainly one of those. The first two-thirds of the novel seemed to go practically nowhere, leaving the last third to tell the, almost, more than not, interesting parts.
Recommendation: Worth a spot on your 'to-read' list, but not too near the top.
"There was no way out and it didn't really matter. You just had to be as hard as hard and make your own legend and let the chips fall where they may.
. . . and then, abruptly, it stopped. The wheel stopped. And it was never going to start again." (p. 370)

For the price during high season, was a good value for the convenience of being central to parks and trails. The rooms were cleaned well and the staff was friendly. If you're not staying in the hotel, but just to sleep it is fine.

Agnes Bruckner has a knack for playing tortured teens. This time around, the 18-year-old star of last summer's acclaimed indie "Blue Car" trades tears for fears to play Heather Fasulo in "The Woods," due next fall. "It's a psychological horror film," says Bruckner, with "a lot of schoolgirls and an ax. It's very gory." Guided by Patricia Clarkson ("The Station Agent"), who plays the headmistress of an all-girls school in the spooky sticks, Bruckner uses her telepathic gifts to determine who's killing off her classmates. "There's running and screaming, falling and axing – a lot of fun." The psychological part? "Sometimes you watch a horror movie and the first five minutes, someone gets killed and you don't even know the character. That's definitely not this movie. You really get to know these characters, so once something does happen, you actually feel for them." Plus, she adds, "the acting is a lot, you know, better."

Way back in 2007, Google published a study on hard drive failure trends. The data revealed that failures typically occur very early in life or after several years of use. The study is a little dated, though, and so is similar research (PDF) conducted by Carnegie Mellon University. Fortunately, we have fresh data from online backup provider Backblaze, which has published failure statistics for 25,000 hard drives bought in the last five years.
According to this data, infant mortality is still a problem. The failure rate for the first three months of operation is higher than for any other quarter until after the three-year mark. Backblaze reports that 5.1% of its drives failed within the first 18 months, followed by only 1.4% for the following 18 months. After three years of use, the failure rate jumps to 11.8%.
Nearly 80% of the drives are still operational after four years. Backblaze doesn't have data points beyond that, but the current trend suggests a median drive life of six years.
Interestingly, the bulk of Backblaze's drives are consumer-grade models rather than enterprise variants with server-specific features and longer warranties. In fact, 8% of the firm's 75PB storage capacity comes from "shucked" drives that began their lives in external enclosures. Backblaze doesn't break down failure rates by drive type, but it promises to detail the differences between consumer- and enterprise-grade models in a future post. Since the company has "standardized" on consumer drives, it seems to be happy with their longevity versus the server-specific alternatives.
Even if enterprise-grade drives fail less frequently, the difference may not be large enough to justify the price premium. Pricing also appears to motivate Backblaze's harvesting of external drives. The firm started shucking portable drives in response to the high prices and limited availability of internal drives that immediately followed 2011's Thailand flooding. A recent blog post suggests the practice continues to this day, perhaps because portable drives are often cheaper to buy than equivalent internal products.
Although Backblaze has pledged to update its reliability statistics every quarter, it doesn't look like we'll get a manufacturer breakdown. I'd be very curious to see whether any makes or models are failing more often than others.

Wetlands boosted by sewage
September 12, 2007 at 1:23 pm | Mobile Reader | Print
|Photo by Shonna Riggs
Greg Bush, Sammy Accardo, and Dale Jordan work hard to make sure EPA and DEQ guidelines are followed in the wetlands assimilation process.
The process of using treated wastewater to increase the marsh growth is called wetlands assimilation and the parish began using this process since January of 2006, a few months after Hurricane Katrina devastated coastal parishes in the state.
"Coastal wetlands are our first line of defense when a hurricane hits the parish," Greg Bush, director of public works and wastewater for the parish said. "We currently discharge the treated wastewater into 1,100 acres of wetlands from the Luling Oxidation Pond," Bush said.
During the process, sewage is not being pumped into the marsh. Instead, the effluent from the pond gravity flows into the wetlands.
Bush explains how the process works. "Sewage is not being pumped into the marsh/swamp," he said.
Effluent is basically treated water with the raw sewage remaining in the pond to decompose into sludge," Bush said.
Bush also noted that approximately 1.5 million gallons a day flow into the wetlands, though that number changes depending on the weather. An increase in rainfall will bring about more flow.
Nitrogen and phosphorus are the most common nutrients.
"These nutrients are absorbed by the plant life in the wetlands which enhances their growth," Bush said. "Wetlands by nature are naturally decaying, in other words, because the soil and plant life is normally underwater, they are in some stage of decay which fish and wildlife are naturally adapted too.
"Our wastewater does alter their environment, but in positive ways," he said. "It increases the productivity of the plant and animal life to the environment."
Numerous reports have stated that discharging treated wastewater into wetlands can allow for the potential enhancement and restoration of the functional attributes associated with wetlands.
"Treated wastewater is absorbed by plant life, and Beaux Bridge for example, has been discharging for over 50 years," he said. "Our discharge is in total compliance with our NPDES permit issued by DEQ in accordance with EPA guidelines. It's sort of like fertilizing a lawn.
Wetlands therefore can assimilate more wastewater per unit of energy and with less financial outlay. Because of low capital costs and low energy consumption, many communities are turning to wetland assimilation to increase the marsh area and wetlands vegetation.

9:36 a.m. to 9:38 a.m. "Disabilities in the Media." (2 min). Directed by Misty Loske. This Columbia College student puts a human face on people with disabilities and how they're portrayed in the media.
9:40 a.m. to 9:45 a.m. "Female Comedians." (5 min). Directed by Jan Hickey. This documentary by a young funny woman interrogates sexism in comedy.
9:48 a.m. to 9:51 a.m. "A Retrospective." (3 min). Directed by Ruth "Rutha" Muhtsun. An Eritrean-American TV producer tackles stereotypical portrayals on the tube with women of color using reportage, deconstruction and analysis.
9:53 a.m.-10:03 a.m. "Some of My Best Friends Are Zionists." (10 min.) Presented by Oak Park's Committee for Just Peace in Israel and Palestine. Several well-known Israelis and American Jewish citizens speak about the occupation of Israel/Palestine.
10:05 a.m. to 10:19 a.m. "Sit Down and Shut Up." (14 min). Directed by Matt D'Uva and Jack Dalton. Produced by Stan West's "Culture, Race and Media" television class and his "Blues as Literature" English Department students who not only argue that this art form was created by women, but as they view "blues play," For Colored Girls Who Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Was Not Enuf, instruct all the guys in the class — including the teacher — to "sit down and shut up" so males can learn what it feels like to be told to do so while the ladies discuss generations of structures of patriarchy oppressing women.
10:21 a.m. to 10:22 a.m. "Rosa's Lounge." (1 min). Directed by Chris Symbersky. Round Two of the students' inquiries into the blues from a male photojournalist's view.
10:24 a.m. to 10:28 a.m. "Blues News." (4 min). Directed by Matt D'Uva and Jack Dalton. Round Three of student probes into the blues invite Oak Park journalist Rosalind Cummings-Yeates & "White Blues" author Paul Garon to answer whether or not Black women created the art form and can some Whites play it with authenticity? The short answer is Y-E-S.
10:31 a.m. to 10:36 a.m. "Drums of Peace." (5 min). Directed by Bryan Cosgriff and Betty Jackson in association with the South Chicago Art Center and the Ashé Cultural Center of New Orleans. In this lovely little documentary New Orleans and Chicago percussionists connect with Black and Latino youth here and the Crescent City to "stomp the violence."
10:39 a.m. to 10:54 a.m. "We Can Die Alone, Together." (15 min). Directed by Nicholas Reese and Mario Valdivieso. This short feature that showcases Oak Park actress Renee Domenz in a same-sex, integrated relationship also follows the story of a boy and girl who become lifelong friends after meeting each other at a playground, sharing a coloring book and being careful not to "crossover the lines." The series of vignettes shows the wonderful ways in which people in love do in fact crossover the lines.
10:56 a.m. to 10:58 a.m. "Not That Different." (2 min). Directed by Mary Alexander, produced by Oak Park-River Forest H. S. film teacher John Condne, it features singer Hannah Rand and actress Renee Domenz in a music video about crossing age and race borders.
11 a.m. to 11:11 a.m. "The Coming." (11 min). Directed by Joy Jones. Rich with religious imagery, this film affirms faith from the director's view amid an increasingly skeptical world.
11:12 a.m. to 11:20 a.m. "What About Chrissy?" (8 min). Directed by Joy Jones. This short about relationships received a standing ovation from a critical Columbia College crowd.
11:20 a.m. to 11:28 a.m. "Grandma's Peer Pressure." (8 min). Directed by Joy Jones. If you've ever had an older relative try to arrange a date for you, this short should find a friend.
11:29 a.m. to 12:49 p.m. "The Promise Land." (80 min). Directed Kevin Dalvi. Perhaps the highlight of this year's festival theme of "borders" is this funny, perceptive feature film with immigration as its central theme. In this film, Oak Park actress Joyce Porter proves there are no small parts, just small actors. In her tiny character portrait, she rocks!
12:49 p.m. to 1 p.m. Panel discussion with "Oak Park Women in Film" moderated by local actress Alice Brown & DePaul graduate student, Betty Jackson, whose stunning documentary, Ms. Mary Moore, was featured here in 2007 to a standing-room-only crowd where Moore once proudly spoke. Her son is former Chicago Bulls forward Linton Johnson, Jr.

The award is given annually to a select group of Hyland Software partners that attain a high level of sales of Hyland's leading OnBase™ ECM software during the previous year.

The Ninja mold is really cool and stands out from the warrior mold.
I... don't know what the birds are supposed to turn into. And who are they? Garboil and Sundor?
Kingbat's mold is... interesting. With his shoulders by his feet, he looks like he stilt walks on the wingtips. Still, turning into a trident is cool and you get a sword for your trouble. I'll get him, but I'm NOT seeing him as Ratbat.
It's too soon to say I'm hesitant about them trying other animals (you never know how awesome something might be in-hand), but I am very curious.

One of the things I liked about PE re-imagining the cassette characters as weapons was because it was functional as a toy and sensible for their mythology.
The mini-cassette design was fine and good, but it made them stand apart from the established play pattern of everyone else turning into vehicles. For lack of a better term, they break the 4th wall (like a certain gun). Unfortunately, the concept only really works if you happen to have a guy who becomes a mini-cassette player to take advantage their designed play value. On their own, the concept sorta falls apart (seriously, they turned into rectangles somewhere between suitcase and laptop to the other toys).
Now PE is creating their spin on one of the two guys who made cassettes work; in a line where the "cassettes" turn into guns. Right

Kingbat - I think the trident mode is fantastic, and the jet mode is great, but the bat mode doesn't work for me - and if it's meant to be Ratbat then that's the most important mode. Think I'll be passing for now.
The Laserbeak mould looks interesting, bird-mode looks great - but what is that alt mode meant to be? A power pack? Regardless I'll probably pick up Laserbeak & Buzzsaw.
I was quite impressed with Frenzy & Rumble. Good little figures with great detailing and brilliant paint apps.

No your not! He's the first name that came into my head looking at him.
The second was Graphy or "Gurafi" in japanese.
It looks more like squawktalk though for sure. It'd be great if it was. Instead of the usual Laserbeak or Buzzsaw.
In fact that blue one could even be Raindance in jet mode or whatever that mode we see there is.
