CONTEST: Build the mystery Exo-Force promo 3872 Robo Chopper
Posted 01 February 2008 - 05:17 AM
Posted 01 February 2008 - 11:45 PM
Since this is supposed to be a 2008 EXO-FORCE promo, I kinda thought it might resemble one of this year's existing sets somewhat, so I based its design off the Storm Lasher. At first, I thought I was going to need two 1x2 bricks with axleholes to effectively use the large axle, but then it occurred to me that the robot minifig torso has an axlehole in the back of its head, so many of the parts are mounted there on my MOC. I made an effort to use every part on the list (including the doubles ;-) ) in this MOC.

Please see my Brickshelf gallery for more MOCs!
I don't mind if anyone borrows any part of any of my MOCs. Please be sure to give me credit though.

Its more of a plane than a chopper, but I guess it does "chop" on trees and growth in its path >:-)
I'm really happy with it, I wanted to make it as compact as I could and it seems a bit like something TLC would make.
This is a great little competition, nice and short. I think in the future we should have more little contests like these running alongside the larger ones like the neighborhood contest. *sweet*

All clicky to bigger images (but why? :-|)
As you will see in the first 2 pics, I wasn't entirly convinced that using the part off to the side would enhance the model, so I came up with two, count 'em, two lame theories!
1. It was included to make it possible to build the alternate model, the motorcycle! X-D
2. It's a new kind of Exo-Force flick missile, but instead of being mounted somewhere, you just hold it between two fingers and flick!
The alternative was to just shove it somewhere (by the time I had tried moving it to 14 different places, I was about ready to shove it somewhere >:-().
So there you have it. ;-)
Shadows is looking for stalkers. Yep, you heard me right. CLICKY!

Ranking Markets by Price Cut Probability
Home buyers in Omaha might want to think twice about waiting for the price to keeping falling on a coveted listing.
New data from Trulia Inc. the real-estate website, show that Omaha listings have the lowest probability of a second reduction after the first. Tulsa, Boston, Honolulu and Columbus, Ohio were not far behind.
But before sellers get too confident in these markets, it's worth noting that even the strong markets on Trulia's indicator had about a 30% probability of a second price reduction. "I think that's a reflection of the market as a whole," said Daisy Kong, a spokeswoman for Trulia who compiled the data. "A lot of sellers will need to make a price cut to sell their home because of the way that the market is today."
On the other end of the spectrum are cities like Jacksonville and Phoenix, where sellers are often competing with a raft of foreclosure resales priced at a big discount. Trulia found that the probability of multiple price cuts in these markets is closer to 50%.
There was a slight month-over-month drop in May in the likelihood of multiple price reductions across most major cities. But since this price cut indicator is new for Trulia, that change may be due to normal seasonal changes as the market enters peak buying time. Trulia's price change probability is based on non-foreclosure listings in 50 cities from May 1, 2010 to May 1 of this year.
Some of the drop in Trulia's indicator could also be related to fewer foreclosure sales in certain markets. Data from RealtyTrac Inc., for example, show that the total number of foreclosure sales in the Phoenix-Mesa-Scottsdale market fell 33.6% in the fourth quarter of 2010 compared with the prior-year quarter.
Nationally, the number of foreclosure sales, a figure that includes most short sales, dropped 45% in the fourth quarter of 2010 compared with the same period a year earlier, according to RealtyTrac. That drop was driven by various factors, including tax credit deadlines and mortgage servicing problems, but fewer foreclosure sales could mean less pressure on other sellers to cut prices, according to Daren Blomquist, a spokesman for RealtyTrac.

a1 School of Communication Sciences and Disorders, McGill University, Montréal, Québec, Canada
Parkinson's disease (PD) has several negative effects on speech production and communication. However, few studies have looked at how speech patterns in PD contribute to linguistic and social impressions formed about PD patients from the perspective of listeners. In this study, discourse recordings elicited from nondemented PD speakers (n = 18) and healthy controls (n = 17) were presented to 30 listeners unaware of the speakers' disease status. In separate conditions, listeners rated the discourse samples based on their impressions of the speaker or of the linguistic content. Acoustic measures of the speech samples were analyzed for comparison with listeners' perceptual ratings. Results showed that although listeners rated the content of Parkinsonian discourse as linguistically appropriate (e.g., coherent, well-organized, easy to follow), the PD speakers were perceived as significantly less interested, less involved, less happy, and less friendly than healthy speakers. Negative social impressions demonstrated a relationship to changes in vocal intensity (loudness) and temporal characteristics (dysfluencies) of Parkinsonian speech. Our findings emphasize important psychosocial ramifications of PD that are likely to limit opportunities for communication and social interaction for those affected, because of the negative impressions drawn by listeners based on their speaking voice.

|Gunilla von Bahr
1941 – 2013
As BIS looks forward to celebrating its fortieth anniversary later in the year, the death is announced of Gunilla von Bahr. Gunilla can be heard performing on more than 25 early BIS recordings, including CD-1!, and she was the first BIS artist to achieve a "golden disc" – something almost unheard of in classical music in Sweden at the time. Indeed, one can speculate as to whether BIS would have existed at all if the lack of recording opportunities available to Gunilla and other highly gifted young Swedish musicians had not spurred Robert von Bahr to start the BIS label.

Controversy Spices Up Spain's Autumn of Discontent
By Pablo Domínguez and David Román
One might say the last thing the shaky euro-zone periphery needs is a controversial constitutional referendum on deficit and debt levels in one of its key economies.
Well, the bad news first: there's a growing movement calling for just such a referendum in Spain. The good news for the euro zone is that at this point the movement appears unlikely to succeed.
Earlier Wednesday, Spain's Finance Minister Elena Salgado confirmed Spain is going full steam ahead with plans to have the constitution amended to set deficit limits, before the next general election due in November.
This has historical relevance on several levels: Spain is the first country to act on the matter after Nicolas Sarkozy and Angela Merkel called on euro zone members to add fiscal rules into their constitutions.
More surprising is it shows that fierce competition among the ruling Socialists and the main opposition, the conservative Popular Party, doesn't stop them from agreeing on relevant subjects even in the middle of the August holiday season.
That, precisely, is the reason why the drive to call a referendum on the amendment is gaining pace quickly.
By agreeing, the top two parties have made clear the powerlessness of everybody else, in particular the most leftist part of the lower house, which commands a significant number of votes but, because of electoral rules, just a tiny fraction of seats.
The reaction, fueled by the ongoing protests of the "indignants" that have remained active since May, is being organized by websites like actuable.es, which has gathered 34,000 signatures in favor of a referendum in less than a day.
The "hard left" Izquierda Unida bloc, with one million votes and just two MPs, is fully supportive of the drive. Its parliament spokesman Gaspar Llamazares, via Twitter, called the amendment deal a "coup d'etat against the welfare state and the people's will."
However, this should amount to little, in the big scheme of things: under Spanish law, a referendum to approve the amendment can only be called by a group of at least 35 MPs, or 26 senators. As Socialists and PP have all seats in the lower house but 29, and all in the senate but 19, that's not gonna happen.
Well, there might be defections with lawmakers straying from the party line. And then there's the issue that the Catalan Socialists—traditionally in good terms with the left-wing—are a separate bloc in the Senate that might decide to vote on its own, rather than following Madrid's guidelines. It's unlikely, but not impossible.
Stay tuned.

I've got the latest version of WordPress and this plugin - I migrated from 1.2.4 from the previous developer. All existing locations imported fine but new locations are not being geo-coded so new locations just use a default location for the map marker. I can move the marker into the correct location but this is super tedious. There's no error (on screen on script) and I've got a valid API key, etc.
Sucks because otherwise it's a great plugin, one of the best out there actually!
Any ideas what could be going on?

Conquering Pie Crust Phobia with Victory Pie Crust
Sadly, for whatever reason, Mother soon stopped baking pies from scratch. I'm not sure why. She always used to say that her mother could whip up a pie crust with virtually no effort at all, and maybe my mother felt that she simply couldn't compete with Grandma's pies. Or maybe she simply didn't like making pie crust. Whatever her reason was, her home made pies virtually disappeared from the family menu, and, on those rare occasions when she did bake a pie, she used the frozen pie shells from the grocer's freezer.
Since I had no one to teach me how to make a pie crust from scratch I never learned how. I just assumed that it was too difficult, causing me to develop an affection I'll call, Pie Crust Phobia. After I became an adult and left home I too bought the frozen pie shells. While they're not bad, people used to tell me that they just don't have the flavor, or the flakiness, of a pie crust made from scratch.
Fast forward a few years. I'm testing recipes for my upcoming historic cookbook, Rosie's Riveting Recipes: Cooking on the Home Front Line. I decided to carry over all the pie recipes from my earlier cookbook, Anna's Kitchen, and I confess; when I wrote the first book I did try some of the pie recipes, (which were delicious, by the way,) but I used the frozen crusts. This time around however, I decided the time had come to conquer my Pie Crust Phobia by going for broke and making my own pie crust from scratch.
They say that certain genes skip a generation. I quickly discovered that making pie crust from scratch isn't rocket science after all. In fact, it's pretty easy. All you need is some flour, baking powder, shortening, and a little water. Having the right tools helps too. I bought a pastry cutter at Wal Mart, and that investment of a few dollars has really paid off because it makes blending in the shortening a snap.
Victory Pie Crust is used in many of the historic recipes in both of my cookbooks. I also found the crust portion from the Liver and Vegetable Casserole recipe I posted a few weeks ago to be exceptionally flaky and yummy as well, so I plan on using it with other pie recipes. Incidentally, the word, "victory," was a significant word in the lexicon during World War Two. It was a real moral booster that was used everywhere.
I've conquered my Pie Crust Phobia. I'm never going back to pies baked in frozen pie shells.
1¼ cups sifted flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
3 or 4 tablespoons cold shortening
3 or 3½ tablespoons ice water*
Sift flour once, measure, add baking powder and salt, and sift again. Cut shortening into small pieces; add to flour and cut in until mixture is almost as fine as meal. Make small well in flour mixture. Turn 1 tablespoon ice water in this and mix quickly and lightly with surrounding flour only until a small ball of dough is formed. Do not over mix. Repeat this way, mixing all of the flour in separate portions. Then press portions together lightly but firmly into one dough. Makes enough pastry for 9-inch pie shell. Double recipe for pastry for two-crust pie.
• Use only 3 tablespoons ice water with 4 tablespoons shortening; use 3½ tablespoons ice water with 3 tablespoons shortening.
Note: If the crust should come out too dry and crumbly simply add small amounts of water until the mixture has a more doughy consistency.

Julius Wattenburger, age fourteen years, son of Julius Wattenburger Sr., lies at the Sacred Heart Hospital in a serious condition as the result of a blow on the head received when struck with a hammer in Phoenix yesterday. The boy who struck him is about twelve years old and is alleged to be the son of a former Phoenix butcher, Mr. Bason. A warrant has been issued by the juvenile authorities.
According to the story told by the boys at Dr. Malmgren's office in Phoenix where Julius was first taken, the two Wattenburger boys encountered Bason on Bear Creek and inquired the way to the swimming hole. A stone was thrown by one of the two brothers, striking Bason on the head. In the fight that followed, apparently one against two, Bason struck Julius with a hammer.
Bason, according to Phoenix people, is a quiet boy who never had previous trouble. He was building a fence on his father's property at the time of the others' approach. He has a good chance for recovery.
F.G. McWilliams piloted a party of interested people to the kaolin beds, thirteen miles northeast of Ashland last Sunday, says the Ashland Record. The party included William Potter of Richmond, Calif. — who is interested in a manufacturing plant which will turn out various clay products. They started for the kaolin beds in an auto belonging to Mr. Whitehead of Medford, the chauffeur being Mrs. Grace Whitehead Norman. On the road they had serious difficulty with the auto, which is a new one, but were gotten out of their troubles by Chas McWilliams, the garage man, who happened to be picnicking in the Dead Indian country.

The Miracle's "That Guy" - Part II
Thursday, 01.20.2011 / 11:20 PM CT / Minnesota Wild | Hockey Day Minnesota
By Todd Smith - Special to Wild.com
Gary Smith Feature: Part I
Photo Gallery: Gary Smith
Youtube.com: See the goal that made Smitty famous
Gary "Smitty" Smith, the head athletic trainer for the gold medal-winning 1980 U.S. Men's hockey team, stands as one of the few men who witnessed the 'Miracle on Ice' from behind the scenes. Smitty's experience being entrenched for the entire 1980 season at the end of the bench and in the locker room was profiled last year on Wild.com in celebration of the 35th anniversary of the 'Miracle'. In that story, we got to know the guy we had seen in the highlights, shouting on the bench and waving a towel in jubilation after Mike Eruzione scored the game-winner against the Soviet Union.
But how, in fact, did Smitty find himself in the center of the most amazing event in sports history? Todd Smith (Smitty's son) gives us another profile of Smitty, who earned his way onto the Olympic Team by showing coach Herb Brooks the same intensity and will to win that the coach demanded of his players. It all happened during one of the most memorable college hockey brawls in history.
In the years that preceded the 1980 Winter Olympics, Gary "Smitty" Smith and Herb Brooks forged their relationship at the University of Minnesota where Smitty was the trainer for the men's hockey team, and Brooks was the budding head coach.
It was during the Gophers WCHA battles in the late 70's that Smitty and Brooks became comrades, a successful coach-and-trainer duo of unquestioned charisma and loyalty. A hockey trainer typically earns respect by taking on tasks without being asked, and generally keeping their mouths shut and staying out of the way. But that wasn't Smitty's style, and that's why Brooks viewed him as more than a trainer, but one of the most important people in his very small inner circle.
Smitty's devotion to his team, and Brooks' loyalty to his trainer were never more on display than during the inspiring and raucous 1976 NCAA playoffs. It was then that Smitty and Brooks would be involved in one of the worst brawls in collegiate hockey history, which led to an investigation by the NCAA for their actions during the melee.
The '76 Gophers were an underdog bunch. They didn't have a superstar goal scorer. Goaltending was a question mark. A rash of major injuries to key players meant the roster was loaded with youngsters (six freshman and seven sophomores).
Yet somehow, the Gophers persevered and arrived at the 76' NCAA Frozen Four Tournament in Denver despite owning the worst record of all four semifinalists.
"We've been the underdog for a long time," Brooks told the Minnesota Daily. "But we've got heart."
They had heart, but they also had some short tempers, as did their semifinal opponent, the mighty Boston University Terriers. BU was considered one of best collegiate hockey teams of all time. The Terriers had steamrolled nearly all of their East Coast opponents, and were heavy favorites to win the national title.
Before the game against Boston, Brooks tried to take the shine off the Terriers much heralded talent and record with a curt speech that dug deep into his players' psyche. He directed a verbal barrage at the Terriers in the Minnesota locker room that shaped the Boston team as "elitist" and "cheaters."
"Brooks had a degree in psychology," Smitty recalled many years later. "He knew exactly what buttons to push."
Brooks referred to the Boston players either as "rich preppies" or "Canadians," two derogatory terms that would surely rile up his entire roster of Minnesota kids mainly from blue-collar families on the Iron Range and scrappy industrial neighborhoods like South St. Paul.
In reminding his players that Boston University had players from the privileged ivy-walled prep schools of the East Coast and the elite minor leagues of Canada, Brooks painted an undeniably bare bones picture that united his Gopher players and told them that their game against Boston was an "us" versus "them" situation. There would be no backing down to those stuck up elitists.
The diatribe was meant to rile up the players, but Brooks was known for his motivational skills. Apparently he got Smitty's adrenaline pumping as well. Of course, trainers don't play, so it's not like he could have much of an effect on the game…or could he?
Immediately following the drop of the puck at center ice, Boston forward Mike Eruzione tagged Minnesota defenseman Russ Anderson with a wicked high stick. No penalty was called and play resumed. Anderson was incensed and chased after Eruzione to retaliate. He caught the Boston forward on the sideboards, retaliated with a cross check and a penalty was called. Anderson headed off to the penalty box, a single small, unmanned box that was to be used simultaneously by both teams. The penalty box was wedged between the two player's benches, which would become a major factor.
During a first period faceoff, Minnesota defenseman Joe Micheletti jostled with BU star Terry Meagher for position. Meagher lost his temper and whacked Micheletti in the skates and was called for an obvious slash.
As the Boston captain, a native of Belleville, Ontario, was being escorted to the penalty box, the Gopher players started leaning over the boards and lobbed insults at him.
"The boys on the bench were giving it to him pretty good as he went to the box," Smitty recalled. Smitty got caught up in the moment, and so he started to chime in with some chirps of his own.
Meagher reluctantly made his way to the penalty box and was irate when he joined the Gophers Anderson in the cramped space. The Boston captain refused to sit down because he was still engaged in a volatile conversation with a few Gopher players and Smitty.
With the absence of glass separating the penalty box from the Minnesota bench, the Gopher bench continued to berate the Boston player. Three Gophers stood at Smitty's back and taunted the Boston captain. Meagher turned and sprayed spit into the Gopher bench and Smitty took the direct hit. Then, Meagher jabbed Smitty with the butt end of his stick.
Reacting instinctively, Smith grabbed Meagher's stick, yanked it away, threw a quick jab and a lit match was thrown into this bubbling bucket of gasoline.
All hell broke loose. Russ Anderson bolted across the penalty box and went after Meagher and the two players wrestled and fought right there on the floor. Both benches cleared, and players from both squads lined up and crashed into each other as if it was a demolition derby. All the players paired up and thrashed around the rink. Sticks and gloves and torn jerseys were scattered about the ice.
The brouhaha lasted five minutes, but it seemed like an hour before the ice was finally cleared and order was restored, although not for long.
Boston player Mike Fidler casually skated by Smitty on the Minnesota bench and said a few unflattering words to him. Gopher winger Tom Younghans heard Fidler's comments and jumped to the trainer's defense by cold cocking Fidler, who crumpled to the ice. A second brawl broke out, and this one had Minnesota and Boston players all tangled together, scratching and clawing at each other for another 10 minutes. Gopher Ken Yackel hurdled himself into a massive pile of players to prolong the donnybrook.
During the fracas, NCAA officials hastily gathered in the press box to sort out the infractions. Technically, every player who left the bench should have been thrown out. But the officials decided to just toss out the Minnesota's Anderson and Boston's Meagher.
Boston dominated the rest of the game, which went without incident, and they took a 2-1 lead into the third period. But in hockey, heart and guts often trump skill. The Gophers, once again, rallied and upset the Terriers, 4-2.
After the game, legendary Boston coach Jack Parker was infuriated with Brooks, Smitty and the Gophers. He told the press that the brawl was premeditated, and said the Gophers deliberately wanted to get the dynamic Meagher out of the game.
"They don't call Brooks 'Herb Bush' in the WCHA for nothing," Parker angrily said immediately following the game. "Wait till I see him tonight, if I do. There is no doubt in my mind it was the plan of the Minnesota team to go out and get one of our top players."
"That is a stupid, immature, sour grapes statement," Brooks countered, and added, "Running at them deliberately…hogwash. In a seven-game series you might try and intimidate them, but not in a single elimination like this tournament. What sense would it make to run a team bigger than you? And they've got that power play (which scored both BU goals). What sense would it make to intentionally take penalties and let that power play work you over all night?
Premeditated…game plan…hogwash."
The Gophers moved onto the championship game, but quickly fell behind 3-0 to Michigan Tech. Brooks gave Smitty the honors of telling starting goalie Jeff Techerne that he was being pulled from the game. Gopher Tom Mohr rallied the team, and they beat Michigan Tech, 6-4 to win their second title in three years.
The headline in the Minnesota Daily said it all: "Gophers Brawl, Win Hockey Title."
Although the season was complete, BU's Parker was still undeterred in his opinion that the brawl was premeditated, and he subsequently filed a grievance with the NCAA against Brooks, Smitty and the Gophers for their actions. An investigation ensued.
University of Minnesota Athletic Director Paul Giel, Brooks and Smitty all flew down to NCAA headquarters in Kansas. The NCAA Ice Hockey Committee reported, "Gary Smith was the prime perpetrator of the fight." Smitty was suspended and Giel chastised him, saying his behavior was one of the main elements that contributed to the incident. He warned Smitty that similar actions in the future could force him to take more drastic steps in terms of his status as a member of the University of Minnesota's Athletic Department.
During this tumultuous time in Smitty's life - he was a graduate student at Minnesota with a wife and three young children that were living in faculty housing - his career was now on the hook.
Most coaches would have fired a trainer that was suspended by the NCAA for instigating a brawl. Most coaches would've washed their hands of the trainer straight away. But not Herb; his loyalty to his trainer never wavered. In fact, after the 1976 championship, the bond between Brooks and Smitty grew stronger. Smitty had proven to Brooks that he was a man of serious conviction and moxie. In 1977, Brook gave Smitty a gift and a personal letter to thank him for all his years of loyal service in the trenches of the hockey world.
"Enclosed is a little memento that I would like you to have," Brooks wrote. "I guess, to a degree…a large degree at that…it expresses the feelings I have towards you, both as a friend and a comrade while working with you here at the university. There is no doubt in my mind that a lot of the success we had during your stay is attributed to your enthusiasm and very valuable rapport you had with our players. I always felt that a good trainer is worth an awful lot to a hockey team…more so than in other sports. In my estimation you fulfilled your function extremely well!! Sept. 12th 1977."
A few years later, the USOC nominated Brooks to be the head coach from the 1980 U.S. hockey team and upon his hire, they let him know whom his team trainer would be going forward. The problem was, the name they gave him wasn't Gary Smith.
"No, thanks," Brooks told the USOC. "I already have a trainer and his name's Gary Smith."

Institutional Recalibration and Judicial Delimitation
Stuart Chinn
University of Oregon School of Law
April 24, 2011
Law and Social Inquiry, 2011
Throughout American history, a peculiar and recurrent disjunction often arises between the substance of transformative reforms, and the decidedly less-radical governing arrangements that arise in the aftermath of reform. In seeking to account for this disjunction, this article puts forth a theory of post-reform "recalibration." Political processes of recalibration are the means by which vague, indeterminate principles of reform are given operational meaning, and translated into new governing arrangements. This article illuminates recalibration processes with an examination of two case-studies: African-American rights in the post-Reconstruction era of the 1870s and 1880s, and labor rights in the post-New Deal era of the late 1930s. Finally, the article also highlights the crucial role of the Supreme Court in recalibration processes, and sets forth a theory of judicial behavior as driven by an institutional-interest in stability.

We're not simply an education; we're an experience. And when you take that experience out into the so-called real world, you discover that it works for you. And for the people you're working and living with.
Four ways to describe our academic experience
1. We put our ideas to work. We give students more than $350,000 every year to conduct research and creative work. The result is that nearly all seniors graduate from Knox with tangible proof that they can effectively launch their own intellectual start-up.
2. We go deep. In our full-term immersive programs. And in our commitment to experiential learning -- a key part of our curriculum. Students find a mentor, write a proposal, and spend at least 40 hours on an experiential learning project -- an internship, a service program, independent or collaborative research.
3. We go away. Half of our students study abroad. If you want to understand the world, you have to go out and live in it.
4. We work together. Our faculty are exceptionally talented and extremely approachable; they're committed to collaborative research and ongoing mentorship.
We offer more than 60 courses of study, including 38 majors and 49 minors in the arts, humanities, sciences, and social sciences. We also have nine pre-professional and cooperative programs, including business, engineering, and law.

[Laughs.] Yeah!
It just seemed like you were having so much fun making those videos with your full-on moustache.
I miss the moustache.
What was it like just being a part of UCB given that it spurred so many great talents?
Well, those videos we did weren't UCB—that's Derek Waters. But I really liked UCB. There's a group of UCB guys that are really committed and work their asses off, so I feel like a frog to say that I am one of them 'cause I have always been lazy in terms of the live performances.
I did a two-man show called "The Midwesterners," which failed. [Laughs.] It was not a big success. But me and my buddy Oliver Ralli, from the band Pass Kontrol, did a two-man show that Bill Bungeroth, who now directs The Second City mainstage, directed and was an actor in. This was all when we were like 19, 20 and coming up. We performed at UCB and we traveled the country with it but then we dissolved. So, that was the group I came from.
I love UCB, but I can't quite say I'm a full-on UCB-er. The videos were awesome. I got to work with Derek Waters on the "Road Trip" videos with the full moustache and they were directed by Nick Jasenovec. Then Nick asked me to play him in Paper Heart and two days before we got started, he made me shave off my moustache. So, if you print this, "F' you, Nick Jasenovec!" [Laughs.] I'm still mad at him because of that. If I had that moustache in that movie, maybe old Nick Miller can have a moustache.
That's what I was gonna say. You can just shave down that beard you have right now.
Maybe I have a secret plan.
For the second season?
[Laughs.] Maybe I have a secret plan. Maybe I'll bring the 'stache back. Welcome back, 'stache!
[Laughs.] I mean, the mustache goes along with your new heartthrob persona.
[Laughs.] Oh yeah, exactly. You know like every woman says, "Every great heartthrob has a full mustache."
Burt Reynolds has a mustache and he was a huge heartthrob!
That's what I say. He's handsome as can be, sharp as a tack, strong as a bull, with a mustache that doesn't quit. Here's what I really think about mustaches, and I mean this seriously. I've been accused of being a hipster by the Internet people. They're not directly saying it to me but it's because of the projects that I've done. The reality is, if they knew me, I'm not one. What pisses me off about it is hipsters ruined the mustache! [Laughs.]
Hey, I grew a mustache for very clear reasons: My dad had one, all my uncles had them. I'm from the Chicago area, and every man who sold cars in commercials had them. Bill Buckner had one, Michael Jordan kind of had one, and they're awesome.
When I met my wife, my girlfriend at the time, I had a moustache. It was 2003. This was was before My Name is Earl had a damn mustache. How did I look with it, you ask? Great. How was my moustache, you ask? Perfect. How's my beard realistically? Not great. It's patchy, it's a bit red, not working. How's my moustache?! Perfect. Then, this is a true story, I had a moustache for years—wasn't getting a cent of work. I was working at a casino, I was a caterer, I was a bartender. I have the ugliest headshots in the world.
Were they the same ones you still have on the UCB website?
[Laughs.] No, those were the good ones. The others were me in an old Bears sweatshirt and me in a leather jacket doing a cop pose. Those did not result in any work. Then all of a sudden, I get in a couple of commercials and I start to work with the mustache and, I'm not saying I started it, but I'm on Hollywood Boulevard and every ass in tight pants is rockin' a moustache! I shaved it off and so I have anger.
What do I wish would happen? If you're in a band, you don't get a moustache. If you are really tall and skinny and in a band, you don't have them. That's so a guy like me, who tries to be a damn heartthrob on TV, can have a mustache and no one has to go "Funny moustache!" They'd say, "That's a really handsome guy with chest hair, a moustache, who's just strong as a bull."
How do you think your fans that love Nick would respond?
[Laughs.] I think they would hate it. I'm in a tough spot, because I think there are a lot of young female fans that react to Nick. You know what I'm gonna ask them to do? Grow with him. Because when these young girls become women, they'll realize that real men have mustaches. [Laughs.]
There you go! That's perfect.
[Laughs.] And the problem with these young women is that the only moustaches they've ever seen were from hipster guys. That's dead wrong. Moustaches belong on cops, on firemen, on soldiers. You know, men! Nick Miller.
[Laughs.] And Fox will never allow it.

RE: Documented Proof and Concerns of Prosecutable /Fraud and misconduct (fabrication of evidence)by the State of Florida from International Fraud to Unfair Tactics of States Attorney to Law Enforcement Officials, Seizure of Corporations, Bank Fraud, Real Estate Fraud, Interstate Wire Transfer of Funds Fraud, U. S. Postal Fraud, and Selective Prosecution of an Individual to commit such fraud and 1.4 million cases of Identity Theft.
U. S. Attorney General Eric Holder,
Fraud of this magnitude is a must for you to become aware of and the fact that the chain of command has been exhausted without due process of exploring and examining said fraud. I will attempt to place in chronological order for you as not to make this as lengthy as it is with supported evidence that has been placed in the hands of the States Attorney and Clerk of Courts who refuse to police and investigate their own agents and agencies. Allowing state officials to run ramped violating civil and international laws and citizens. The documented proof of these facts is undeniable.
Assistant States Attorney (Florida) James Arthur Hellickson under the direction of States Attorney (Florida) Bernie McCabe did in fact create and obtained a fraudulent warrant of arrest and extrication from the Kingdom of Spain of a United States Citizen,. A felony information was created by said attorney without a sworn testimony of a material witness as mandated by the Florida Constitution and Statues. This instrument was used in the extradition from Spain.(not produced in Freedom of Information). Issued false promises and guaranties to fraudulently induce extradition with the intent to breech the Diplomatic Note. A paragraph length statement of an officer that was felt not damning enough to encourage the Kingdom of Spain to follow through with the extrication of a U. S. Citizen. Assistant States Attorney Hellickson and crew took upon themselves to bolster officer statement to enhance and encourage the Kingdom of Spain to negotiate extrication and this type of communication is not in the scope of practice of a States Attorney when dealing with Treaty and Diplomatic Notes with a foreign country and the United States.
Article II, Section 2, Clause 2, of the U.S. Constitution gives the president the power to negotiate and ratify treaties, but he must obtain the advice and consent of the Senate (in practice solicited only after negotiation); two-thirds of the senators present must concur.
Article I, Section 10, of the U.S. Constitution forbids the states to enter into a "treaty, alliance, or confederation," although they may enter into an "agreement or compact" with other states, domestic or foreign, but only with the consent of Congress
As you will note there are many communications within the States Attorney office of affidavits being altered, manulipated, and exploited to enhance a non-sworn accuser against an individual . Therefore, Assistant States Attorney Hellickson filed unsupported and fraudulent affidavits and included himself as a complaining witness and concealed these affidavits after extradition was accomplished.(unlawful per the Florida Constitution) to seek a Governors Warrant and to induce the Kingdom of Spain to extradite this U. S. Citizen. This U.S. Citizen has been titled a Rapist when in fact the defendant was never accused of Rape
Rape 1) n. the crime of sexual intercourse (with actual penetration of a woman's vagina with the man's p***s) without consent . There is the concern of law enforcement and prosecutors that women whose advances have been rejected by a man, or who have been caught in the act of consensual sexual intercourse may falsely cry "rape." (Free Dictionary by Farlex, Legal Dictionary)
See exhibits #A for documented facts.
To qualify as a subject under the, and the ability to traditional definition of international law, a state had to be sovereign: It needed a territory, a population, a government to engage in diplomatic or foreign relations. States within the United States, provinces, and cantons were not considered subjects of international law, because they lacked the legal authority to engage in foreign relations. In addition, individuals did not fall within the definition of subjects that enjoyed rights and obligations under international law. (Wikipedia, free encyclopedia, Source of International Law)
During a jury trial, Assistant State Attorney Hellickson denied ever seeing such documents including Diplomatic Note # 426( was the diplomatic agreement limiting jurisdiction). Assistant State Attorney Hellickson also knowingly, willingly, and wantonly misadvised Judge of said Diplomatic Note and the conditions thereof. This creating a Violation of Treaty and Diplomatic Note agreeing to the Kingdom of Spain of the conditions of the note. Assistant State Attorney Hellickson did in fact go directly against the agreement and sought a sentence totally against the Kingdom of Spain demands. This act of Assistant State Attorney Hellickson is a total disregard to Florida Constitutional Law and the International Treaty and Diplomatic Note from the Kingdom of Spain. Also during trial, forensic evidence did not show defendant DNA on the complaining witness (victim). The State of Florida refuses to have the court recording translated into writing for evidence. See exhibits #B for documented facts.
As you will notice in the Diplomatic Note, the Kingdom of Spain requested assurances that this person would not gain a sentence of life without the possibility of parole. At the time of the trial, not one but three life sentences was placed upon this person. After complaints from the defendant to the Kingdom of Spain regarding the sentence(s), in a court of law that lacked jurisdiction and venue, the court of the State of Florida re-sentenced defendant to six determinate sentences(again without jurisdiction of 100 years. With the intent to nullify federal civil action filed against this prosecutor and state circuit court judges) Statically speaking this is a life sentence for this defendant. The current age is 58 years, statistics show life expectancy (determined by the CDC) in the male species of humans is 75 years. Again I would like to remind you that this sentence(s) was the result of fraudulent affidavits fraudent unsupported felony information created by the State of Florida Assistant State Attorney and staff. This violates federal constitution and law.
The defendant has been charged and probated on a previous charge of the same magnitude some six years prior. In this case the complaining witness has re-canted her story that all the accusations was indeed a lie. The defendant protected the complaining witness from perjury charges and was sentenced to probation that the conditions of the probation was never imposed on the defendant but was submitted to the Clerk of Courts some two months post trial without the defendant present or notified.
This being a matter of public record, was used against the defendant on the current trial and has been considered habitual and also charged with Violation of Probation. Violation of probation is not an extraditable offence and pursuing this violation breeched the International Treaty and Assistant State Attorney Hellickson was advised by the USDJ he could not violate conditions of Treaty with Violation of Probation. In the court proceedings the Assistant State Attorney covered this by using the words criminal acts to cover up the Violation of Probation and the defendant was sentenced on that also. In my research of many hours in the law library, I have found that the State Attorney, Judges, many of elected officials that have had any type of connections with this persons case(s) have violated the Constitution of Florida by not taking Oath to Office in such timely manner as stated in the Florida Constitution, therefore by not complying with the Florida Constitution these elected officials do not hold legal title to the office of election and have no jurisdiction to practice in said positions. Hence, anything these individuals have stowed upon this U.S. Citizen is void. See exhibits #C for documented facts.
As you can see there is a web of deceit and lies to gain convictions of a U.S. Citizen by the State of Florida, State Attorney, and the complaining witness victim. Many processes of this case has been violated from the onset, from the investigation and the documentation to support said crime to judicial proceedings, convictions, and sentencing. Many of blind eyes have been stowed upon these issues and swept under the carpet to hide, at this time this is a request for your help to correct the wrong that has been done time after time after time. Is the State Attorney and other law enforcement and judicial beings given absolute immunity to commit fraud?
At the time of the above, this U.S. Citizen was self employed of a very lucrative business(s) and was expanding internationally. Also, was married ( now divorced) and the spouse (Patricia Ann Seagraves) and her daughter (Amy Evans) was employed by this business owner. Now residing in OFallon, MO.
Upon the arrest in Spain, these two women conspired to steel the business and seized all business bank accounts and millions of dollars in monies and valued property to gain profits for themselves and leave this person penniless. These two women was not members of the corporations and had no authority to enter into transactions with Wachovia Bank and have signature cards changed, adding themselves and deleting the owner. The home and personal property was sold by said women and retained profits of said sales. Patricia Ann Seagraves, aka Patricia Ann Curtis is being counter sued by Stewart Title and Wachovia Bank as a result of her actions. These possessions was not marital assets and was not property for these women to sell. Funds profited by these women have been wire transferred from Florida to Missouri. Also the business computer with all clients information was retained and used by these women to fraud such clients and stealing identity of said clients and their monies collected and closed down the business(s).. Hence, bank, real estate, wire, and interstate fraud and identity theft of the clients. Client total in excess 1.4 million. Are these people allowed to commit these heinous acts and be given immunity because one is a states witness to the above? The investigators and courts have fought against every step to bring these women to justice and turned blind eyes, to conspiracy, and RICO. Is this a communist county like Cuba? It appears this is the way this country is heading with the violations of the United States Constitution that our fore fathers built this country on. These women are allowed to run scott free just because one is helping the State of Florida law enforcement and judicial beings act against the constitution both state and federal. Proof has been filed with the courts and NO action has been made and continue to place burden upon the victim in this matter and the burden of proof is there. See exhibits #D of documented facts.
Then you have an attorney in private practice that exhibits the State of Florida Seal and a replica of a State Attorney badge to advertise his private practice. This too is against the Florida Constitution and State Statues. This attorney is Joshua M. Drechsel, Esq. working in the county of Pinellas, city of St. Petersburg, Florida. This attorney supports and employs a Notary who process fraudulent documents filing civil litigation( and mailed said documents via the U.S. Postal Service which commits mail fraud) of a non existing person(bogus name) to obtain a financial gain. This to is fraud committed against the laws of the State of Florida. To the best of information searched there is not a person alive or dead with the name of Jane Doe that posses a birth certificate. This fictions of a Jane Doe is in fact the alleged victim of the criminal case in the beginning of this letter of multiple disputes and frauds. See exhibits #E of documented facts.
In closing this informative request and documented proof of quantity and magnitude of fraud to you, We pray that you will take on your powers of your position and not turn blind eyes and investigate and correct the wrong with in this corrupt State of Florida from the top to the bottom. Our fore fathers would rattle in their graves to have what they worked so hard for to create a country one would be proud to live and support. I am sure that this is not the only state in this country that has such corrupt system that refuses to admit or investigate the damages to the citizens of said states. The documented criminal acts and conspiracies by agents of the State of Florida fraudulently commit these unjust to the citizens of this state is criminal. The total disregard of elected officials not with holding the Laws of the State and the Constitution of Florida and the United States Constitution.
This letter will be forwarded to all legislative branches, public chronicles, and to anyone who may have the ability to stop these acts and hold accountable the elected officials and below to follow the rules of this land.

Florida Asst. States Attorney James Hellickson Still on the loose!
AUTHOR: feel your pain - (USA)
SUBMITTED: Sunday, May 06, 2012POSTED: Sunday, May 06, 2012
The State of Florida is a corrupt state and will not even investigate the blind justice all the way to the Attorney General. They will lie and produce fraudlent affidivits and bury you in their prison system for life. They will lie against the Constitution of the United States, then when you call them on it, they want to sweep it under the rug. Rip your life away.
The above allegations are true and there is hard proof of this as the Emails from Hellicksons computer are solid proof of his lies and intent and success of sending a innocent man to prison. All evidence is available upon request.
Beware people when going to Pinellas-Pasco counties of Florida, one false complaint and your in prison. They feed like snakes.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Grimms' Fairy Tales
by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm
Grimms' Fairy Tales Tales 191-200 Summary
Tale 191: The Little Hamster From the Water
- A princess has a tower from which she can see or find anything.
- She declares that anyone who wants to marry her must be able to conceal himself from her, but anyone who fails and is found will be beheaded.
- Three brothers try, and the first two are promptly decapitated. Yeah, she's ruthless.
- The third brother, while out hunting, kindly agrees not to kill a raven, a fish, and a fox.
- When the time comes to hide, each critter tucks the youth inside its body or transforms him into something tiny.
- Each time, the princess finds him, but gives him another chance. We guess she's got a crush.
- The final time, the fox changes the youth into a little hamster, who's sold to the princess.
- She can't find him because he's with her in the tower, so he wins the challenge and they are wed.
Tale 192: The Master Thief
- A grown-up son who has become a master thief returns home to his aging parents.
- Just for kicks, the thief goes to the lord of the land and offers to complete three difficult tasks. But if he fails, the lord will hang him since that's what he does to thieves.
- The thief accomplishes the tasks (such as stealing his wife's wedding ring while they sleep) with trickery and disguises.
- The thief then says goodbye to his parents and leaves the land, and that's all we hear of him.
Tale 193 The Drummer
- A young drummer is walking and picks up a piece of fine linen, which, he learns from a disembodied voice, belongs to a bewitched princess.
- He promises to try to free her, and hatches a plan in which he tricks people into giving up their cool magic stuff to get him to the top of the glass mountain where the princess is imprisoned.
- There, a witch doles out impossible tasks, and the maiden helps him with each of them.
- They end up tossing the witch into the fire, and the maiden and drummer depart.
- But when he forgets her warning not to kiss his parents on the right cheek, his memory of the maiden vanishes.
- When she goes to look for him, she finds out that his wedding to another maiden is about to be celebrated.
- The princess uses magical dresses to buy her way into the youth's bedchamber each night, but the first two nights he's given a sleeping potion.
- Finally he doesn't take it, and he hears her lamenting over how he had rescued her and how she wishes he'd been faithful to her.
- They're married, and the previous bride gets to keep the magically beautiful dresses, so she feels compensated for the time she wasted on this guy.
Tale 194: The Ear of Corn
- Back in the day, there would be like five hundred ears of corn on one stalk.
- But people were foolish and ungrateful, so the Lord decides that they're not worthy of so much bounty.
- He removes the ears entirely from the stalks, but people plead with him until he decides that there will be one ear of corn at the top of each stalk.
- Think about that the next time you're chowing down on popcorn.
Tale 195: The Grave Mound
- A rich farmer is surveying his wealth when he has an epiphany: he's been a greedy and cruel guy, and has never helped anyone, like, ever.
- Right then, a poor man comes to ask for aid, knowing that he'll likely be turned away.
- Instead, the rich man gives him a ton of grain in return for the poor man promising to keep watch over his grave for three nights, which seems like a fair exchange. We guess.
- When the rich man dies, the poor man hangs out at the graveyard each night. On the third night, a soldier keeps him company, and they trick the devil into thinking that he can have the rich man's soul in exchange for as much gold as will fill the soldier's boot.
- Once they cut a hole in the boot, it ends up being heaps and heaps of gold, which the two men split once the devil gives up his claim on the rich man's soul.
Tale 196: Old Rinkrank
- This king must be super rich since he has a glass mountain built for the sole purpose of determining who's worthy of marrying his daughter.
- The daughter climbs the mountain with her beloved, but she falls into a crack (hey, it happens), and is kept captive by a gnarly dude called Old Rinkrank who makes her keep house for him. Finally, she manages to escape, and her father kills Old Rinkrank and takes all his treasure.
- The king's daughter is happy because she's finally able to marry her man. Swoon.
Tale 197: The Crystal Ball
- A sorceress with three sons is pretty paranoid, and, thinking they'll steal her power, turns the eldest into an eagle and the middle one into a whale. (We'll take the eagle, thank you.)
- The third son wises up and runs away from home.
- Along the way, he steals a wishing hat and wishes himself to where an enchanted princess lives.
- She's ugly, but it's just a spell. Nothin' a little man magic can't fix.
- He has to retrieve a crystal ball from a magician, and his brothers in their animal forms help him track down the various animals that the crystal ball is stored inside.
- The young man then uses the crystal ball to disenchant his brothers and the princess, and he marries the princess, because why not?
Tale 198: Maid Maleen
- A princess, named Maid Maleen, wants to marry this prince dude she's majorly in love with, but her father wants her to marry someone else entirely.
- So he locks her and her maid in a tower with enough food for seven years, hoping to break her spirit, having learned no lessons about true love from any story ever.
- Nobody comes for them after the seven years are up, so Maid Maleen and her servant dig their way out of the tower. Like bosses.
- It turns out their kingdom had been destroyed so there was no one to rescue them. They go to the next kingdom over and get to work in the kitchens.
- That turns out to be where Maid Maleen's lover lives, but he's betrothed to an ugly maiden, because what would a fairy tale be without a good monkey wrench.
- She's ashamed of how ugly she is, so she has Maid Maleen stand in for her at the banquet. The prince thinks she looks awfully like his former beloved, who he assumes is dead, so he doesn't say anything. While walking, Maid Maleen makes a bunch of cryptic remarks that later on the ugly bride can't explain.
- The ugly bride has Maid Maleen explain all the references to her, but the prince had also slipped a necklace around Maid Maleen's neck.
- She finally tells the prince who she is and they get married. The ugly bride is executed for… uh…not being a good replacement for the former bride everyone thought was dead? For being ugly?
- Yeah, this one's not exactly…forward-thinking.
Tale 199: The Boots of Buffalo Leather
- A discharged soldier wears old boots made of buffalo leather. He meets a huntsman in the forest and they wander together. The huntsman is finely dressed, so the soldier calls him "Brother Sparkle-Boots" (yep, we're not making this up).
- The soldier uses a spell to steal food and drink from a bunch of robbers, saving the huntsman's life in the process.
- When they reach the limits of the forest, the huntsman's all, oh wait, I'm a king, and he tells the soldier he is always welcome to eat and drink in his kingdom.
Tale 200: The Golden Key
- A boy who is poor has to gather wood in the snow.
- He stops to build himself a fire, and finds a little golden key. Then he finds a casket with a lock that matches the key.
- Hmm. That's a little convenient.
- He starts to unlock it, and the tale ends there, telling us we have to wait until he finishes opening it so we can see what wonderful treasures lie therein. Ugh, what a tease.

Love the Way You Lie
by Eminem & Rihanna
Shout Out! Women of Color Respond to Violence Against Women, edited by Maria Ochoa and Barbara K. Ige (2008)
If Rihanna's public statements left you wanting more words from people who have been there themselves, this powerful anthology is a good place to start.
The Way I Am, by Eminem (2008)
This is Marshall Mathers' colorful autobiography. Although it stays pretty shallow at times, it is still a worthwhile view of the rapper's private life from his own perspective.
Angry Men and the Women Who Love Them: Breaking the Cycle of Physical and Emotional Abuse, by Paul Hegstrom (2004)
Hegstrom, a former abuser charged with the attempted murder of his ex-wife, reconciles his past and speaks directly to abusers about how they can and must change.

- Former Reagan OMB director David Stockman explains the destructive incoherence of Republican budget policy. There are many things I disagree with Republicans on as a matter of principle, but their budget policy ignores their own ostensible principles. That's a bigger problem. Barry Ritholtz has the Cliffs Notes.
- William Saletan runs down the embarrassing opposition to the "Ground Zero mosque." Funny that the complaints are being made by groups and people that claim to stand for things like Constitutional rights and anti-discrimination.
- Slavoj Zizek argues that the good feelings induced by charity sap the desire to achieve more meaningful solutions to problems. The way this lecture is presented is amazing.
- Scott Rosenberg talks about the death of eyeball tracking as a way of selling ads.
- Girl Developer takes on the Your Code Sucks mentality. I'm still going with what I said some months ago on Twitter, "Hell is other people's code." Hell is also my code if it's not fresh on my mind.
- NPR is streaming the full contents of Arcade Fire's new album, The Suburbs.
- Edward Niedermeyer from The Truth About Cars wrote an op-ed in the New York Times panning the Chevrolet Volt.
- FlightCaster makes the economics argument that the way we purchase tickets is what's ruining air travel. People only care about price and scheduled time of departure when buying tickets, so that's what airlines work on. Things like customer service, comfort, and actual time of departure are sacrificed.
- Tom Chatfield explains how people build relationships through online gaming.
- Farhad Manjoo takes on WikiLeaks.
- The ACLU has an important paper on national security policy, Establishing a New Normal. By adopting and even expanding some of the powers of the security state that started in the Bush administration, the Obama administration is establishing those practices for the future. The Republicans claimed those powers and now the Democrats are laundering them.
- Federal judge Richard Posner explains why the big Washington Post piece on national security, Top Secret America, is a failure. His complaint is that it lacks analytical rigor.
- Damien Katz talks about the lessons he learned in getting CouchDB to version 1.0.
- If you, like many bloggers, never go outside, you are probably vitamin D deficient.

Re entry: Slavoj Zizek argues that the good feelings induced by charity sap the desire to achieve more meaningful solutions to problems. The way this lecture is presented is amazing.
I agree the presentation is terrific, now my question is what in hell is the guy saying?
It would have been nice if he had made a coherent summation, I think (but I certainly am not sure) he was saying you gotta do things differently, not just try to repair the damage occasioned by your way of doing things.
I think that can be summed up…"Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, feed him for life."
We far too often give out fish instead of doing the hard work to implement a more permanent solution.
Re: relationship building in online games
My wife and I met two of our now best friends (another couple) in World of Warcraft. We now regularily meet with them online (in game usually), audio (and sometimes video) chat over Skype about our day, what's going on with friends and family, etc. We've met them several times in person too.
The way I explain it to people who are not familiar with this experience is that it's like your parents getting together to play Bridge with the neighbors across the street. We're just getting together to play a different game and the other people we're playing with happen to be 2500 miles away.
