Saturday's article, "Planning resumes for Suiattle River Road work," omitted important information about the lawsuit that triggered the release of this new environmental assessment. It is true that the suit raised concerns about destruction of old growth trees and wildlife habitat, as well as the use of ERFO ("emergency") funds to repair a road that had been washed out for eight years. (It must not be too much of an emergency to repair it, if we've gotten along without it for that long.)
But the primary reason for the lawsuit was the flaunting by the U.S. Forest Service and Federal Highway Administration of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), which requires federal agencies to undertake environmental study before completing repairs. The suit was dismissed because the agencies recognized that the project did indeed require an EA and agreed to do one, rendering the suit moot — not because it lacked merit.
It is also important to note that closure of the Suiattle Road has not prevented anyone from accessing the trails into the Glacier Peak Wilderness. Any person who can hike those trails, some of which are quite rugged and strenuous, can hike the relatively level, pleasant roadway along this beautiful river.
And many who cannot manage the more difficult upland trails would enjoy walking — or rolling — the Suiattle Road, without the intrusion of cars. The closure of this road presents a golden opportunity for expanding the hiking opportunities in the Darrington District for less athletic individuals.

UK Insider: Porter-Brook Clock Ticking, McDonnell News
By Nick Halling
The clock is ticking on the proposed IBF welterweight title fight between champion Shawn Porter and his British mandatory, Kell Brook. Under the terms of the deal which allowed Paulie Malignaggi to face Porter last month, the winner had to agree to face Brook by 19 July. That's just eight weeks away and, realistically, it's not going to happen within that timeframe.
There are strange noises emanating from Porter's camp. A logical spot for the fight to take place was in Vegas on Golden Boy's July 12 show, as chief support to Saul Alvarez v Erislandy Lara (Porter is a Golden Boy client). That discussion went nowhere. Instead, Porter was encouraged to talk up the prospect of an all-American affair against the recent WBA Interim winner, Keith Thurman.
That would have been a major revenue earner all round, but Thurman is now going in a different direction – which could bring Brook right back into play.
Brook's promoter, Eddie Hearn, is believed to be negotiating for more time to get a deal done. He also has a binding contract for Porter-Brook which acts as a significant bargaining chip. While America remains a likely venue for the contest, the prospect of Porter defending in the UK is not out of the question.
Brook, meanwhile, is keeping a low profile himself, but word out of the Ingle gym is that he is training with intensity and has been for a number of weeks. If he's given short notice, he'll be prepared. He'll be ready by 19 July, and quite possibly a little earlier.
Given that Brook is not a big name superstar in America, Porter also has the option of vacating the title so as not to jeopardise a future moneyspinner of his own. Given the prospect of big fights within the division, that's not be as implausible as it might sound. But the pressure on Porter to do something soon is growing. Sitting on the belt indefinitely is not an option. Avoiding Brook doesn't look much of an option either.
Expect some significant movement on this one soon – but which way it goes is, right now, anyone's guess. And it will probably be decided by the people looking after Porter's interests.
Big plans ahead for one-time IBF bantamweight boss Jamie McDonnell. Doncaster's first-ever world champion was stripped of his belt last year, but looks to become a two-time belt holder next week when he faces tongue-twisting Thai Tabtimdaeng Na Rachawat for the WBA title on the Froch-Groves undercard.
It's a winnable fight for McDonnell, and if he comes through safely, it will mark just the first step of the ambitious Yorkshireman's aspirations. He'll be looking for a unification fight at bantamweight next, and then plans to step up a division to super bantam – where the big fights and marquee names are to be found.
McDonnell is no fool, and he's certainly had a crash course in boxing politics over the last 12 months to further broaden his knowledge. Having won his world crown last May against Julio Ceja, McDonnell was stripped without making a defence.
In the ensuing blizzard of finger pointing, the only facts which emerged with complete certainty are that McDonnell parted company with his then manager, Dennis Hobson, and that another Hobson-connected fighter, Stuart Hall, was subsequently offered a shot at the now-vacant IBF belt. Hall duly seized his opportunity, and is set to defend the IBF crown for a second time against fellow-Brit Paul Butler next month.
Should Hall and McDonnell come through their next fights unscathed, the two fighters would both be keen on a rematch (they first met in 2011 with British, Commonwealth and European titles on the line, McDonnell winning a unanimous decision). There is no animosity between the two boxers: they have risen above the political machinations and respect each other.
McDonnell doesn't begrudge Hall his opportunity, and probably accepts that if the situation had been reversed, he'd have done the same. For his part Hall admits that he got a lucky break, but sees no need to apologise for capitalising on it so successfully.
McDonnell is confident of a repeat of their 2011 contest, while Hall quite correctly observes that he has improved considerably from where he was three years ago. They'd both love a unification fight – and the purse that would go with one – but achieving that will take the diplomatic skills of a UN Special Ambassador. Getting Hobson to agree to such a contest will probably be a tough sell, and that might be understating the case considerably.
So McDonnell is already looking to a future further afield – and a potential move up to super bantam. It's not exactly a giant leap for mankind. His twin brother, Gavin, currently campaigns at the weight as reigning British champion, and while Jamie is currently comfortable at bantam, the step up would be unlikely to diminish his power or speed.
Scott Quigg would be a preferred opponent: word out of the McDonnell camp is that the WBA boss would be a good matchup in terms of style. They think they can beat him. McDonnell's people also fancy their man's chances against Leo Santa Cruz, the WBC holder.
More importantly, they are looking at the kind of purses on offer at bantam, and the much greater financial incentives swirling around at super bantam. Financially, it's a no-brainer. After what he's been through over the past few months, there aren't many who would begrudge the likeable McDonnell a couple of big paydays. If the last year has been difficult for him, the next 12 months could potentially be career-changing.

I wonder what Haymon is doing with Thurman. I can't believe Thurman would turn down Porter, unless he's got something big coming. Has to be Khan or Floyd. If not, that's a dumb move on Thurman's part.Post a Comment - View More User Comments (7)

BENSALEM, Pa. (AP) — A suburban Philadelphia school board has approved a policy limiting — but not completely eliminating — a school newspaper's ability to ban use of the word "Redskins" when referring to the school's sports teams or mascot.
The Neshaminy school board voted 8-1 Thursday night for the revised policy that bars the Bucks County high school newspaper from banning the name of the mascot from its editorials or its letters to the editor.
The changes give students more control over the news section of The Playwickian but retain a 10-day review period, restrictions on online comments on articles and other limitations.
The newspaper staff voted in October to ban use of "Redskins," calling it a racial slur. Some district officials have maintained that students aren't allowed to do that.

I've been eating this since I was a wee little angel – it's one of the few Thai things my mom would make that didn't include a face.
If you ever go out for Thai food, I'm absolutely positive you've had this wonderful little dish, probably made with minced chicken. While chickens are cute and all, they don't quite provide the fat content I look for when ordering a salad
Thais loooove the pairing of spicy and tart ingredients in recipes that can be completely adjusted for personal taste. Feel free to add to the amounts of chili (roasted, ground THAI chili powder! Not chili flakes you put on your pizza or the chili powder you put in your chili), lime juice and fish sauce after tasting, and serve with some wedged cabbage, sticky rice and whole bird's eye chilies to take small bites out of along the way…if you so dare.
And for the record, beef in Thai is not "oink".
Roast the rice in a small nonstick pan over medium heat, shaking the pan often, until the rice is nice and brown and toasty, 5-6 minutes. Transfer the rice to a mortar and pestle and grind it up until you are pretty much over it (it should be a relatively fine powder). Transfer the rice into a little bowl and set aside (you can also make a larger quantity of toasted rice and store it in a sealed container for a couple of weeks).
Add the garlic, shallots, kaffir lime leaf, and lemongrass to the same pan, add a little but of water and roast them in the pan until they softens and it appears you have fucked up and burned it, like the photo above, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to your trusty mortar and pestle, grind to a paste, and set aside.
Heat the water in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat, add the pork and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon until it is cooked through and begins to brown, 5-6 minutes. Add the bouillon powder and reserved garlic-shallot paste, stir stir, stir, and cook until brown and juicy, another 3-4 minutes.
Remove from the heat and stir in the reserved roasted rice powder, thai chili powder, lime juice and fish sauce. Stir in the mint, scallions, and cilantro. Serve with cabbage, chilies, and sticky rice.

So, I've had a lot of time on my hands while sitting and nursing my boys for a combined 21 months :) So many moms have said that they produce significantly more on one side than the other (myself included). I've never heard WHY this is, so I'm taking a little poll to see if I can get anywhere:
Have you noticed a significant difference in how much milk you produce (left side vs right side)? If so, which side produces more, and are you left or right-handed?

I posted this in my BB but I feel like I am here more, so I wanted to update you ladies as well....
We will be 33 weeks. I have posted my background before but just a recap. I have been battling with PIH, GD, a pulminary embolis (no gone), gall bladder issues, and superimposed pre-eclampsia for a while now. I have been on HBR for 4.5 weeks now. Things were starting to look better but no my BP is unpredictable and they dont want to wait any longer. Last night I was ranging form 110/100 (crazy) to 160/110 it will drop to normal and then go back up. They think it is beginning to affect Faye because her HR is spiking to 195 and then dropping to 120 quickly and going back and forth. My fluid is also low and they have been keeping me super hydrated trying to get it back above 8.
They are giving her till Tuesday to try to stabalize, myself included, and if not she will be delivered via c-section (repeat). She is measuring big even though at one point they were scared she was behind. So we are hoping for just feeding and growing time at the NICU. We are still at the hospital 2 hours away, which is the best place to be for us right now. Please just keep us in your thoughts that things go smoothly!!! Thanks ladies, I will keep you posted.
We have decided to only tell our parents, my dad and DH's mom and dad till after she is here. We have expressed that if anyone tells my mom anything they will also be placed on the TO at this point....hoping for a drama free surgery and recovery!!!

See the first trailer from ABC's 'Mixology' from 'The Hangover''s writers
The first season is set to take place in one night in a single location
This sounds claustrophobic, and the trailer is perhaps too barf-centric, but the writers of "The Hangover" might deliver on this idea: One bar. One night. Ten single people. And that's it for the entire season for this midseason ABC show. Oh, and Ryan Seacrest is an executive producer.
Welcome to Union, a high-end bar in Manhattan's trendy meat-packing district. Recently dumped by his fiancée, Tom (Blake Lee) hasn't been out on the town in a decade. His best friends, handsome, confident Cal (Craig Frank) and fast-talking Bruce (Andrew Santino), are throwing Tom back into the dating pool whether he likes it or not. Tom's first encounter is with Maya (Ginger Gonzaga), an attorney who's as beautiful as she is brutal; before long, Tom is in tears. After that, it only gets worse. Rounding out Union's chic crowd is Maya's engaged-for-now friend, Liv (Kate Simses); aggressive single mom Jessica (Alexis Carra); her younger, naive sister, Janey (Sarah Bolger); bubbly cocktail waitress Kacey (Vanessa Lengies); dark, mysterious bartender Dominic (Adan Canto); and failed internet entrepreneur Ron (Adam Campbell), who's having the worst night of his life.
"Mixology" stars Blake Lee ("Parks and Recreation") as Tom, Andrew Santino ("Punk'd") as Bruce, Kate Simses ("What's Your Number") as Liv, Adam Campbell ("Epic Movie") as Ron, Craig Frank ("8.13") as Cal, Vanessa Lengies ("Glee") as Kacey, Alexis Carra ("Incredible Girl") as Jessica, Sarah Bolger ("Once Upon a Time") as Janey, Ginger Gonzaga ("Legit") as Maya and Adan Canto ("The Following") as Dominic.
"Mixology" was written by Jon Lucas and Scott Moore ("The Hangover," "21 and Over"), and is executive-produced by Lucas, Moore, Ryan Seacrest, Nina Wass and Adam Sher. It's directed by Larry Charles ("Seinfeld," "Entourage," "Borat").

THOSE PEOPLE PETITIONED..SAYING CITY RESIDENTS SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO VOTE ON THAT SALE. THIS REFERENDUM WAS CREATED AND LATER APPROVED BY THE MAINE STATE JUDICIAL COURT. TO BREAK IT DOWN IF VOTERS SAY "YES" TO THE REFERENDUMIT WILL STOP THE SALE OF CONGRESS SQUARE PLAZA FOR NOW. IT WOULD ALSO ADD EXTRA PROTECTIONS TO 60 OF PORTLAND'S PARKS AND PUBLIC SPACES, MAKING IT MORE DIFFICULT TO SELL THEM. IF "NO" WINS -- THE HALF A MILLION DOLLAR SALE WILL GO THROUGH -- ALLOWING THE EASTLAND HOTEL TO EXPAND WITHOUT RESIDENTS GETTING INVOLVED. Bree LaCasse, Protect Portland Parks 00:00:52 our group is pro development-pro smart development. This is really a referendum about giving citizens the right to choose before the city sells any of our public parks. We've got a real battle on our hands and it's going to be really close so we need everyone to get and vote yes on one." 01:10 Chair No on One campaign 01:44:43 Portland parks are well protected. The "Yes" campaign admitted the other day that no park has ever been sold in Portland's history. This is a failed open space and that is what question one is about." 44:56 ACTIVISTS FOR THE REFERENDUM SAY THEY JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE RESIDENTS ARE INVOLVED BEFORE THE CITY SELLS ITS PARKS. WHILE, THOSE AGAINST THE QUESTION SAY FOR ONE-THIS IS A PLAZA NOT A PARK---AND THAT RESIDENTS SHOULD TRUST THEIR ELECTED OFFICIALS WHEN IT COMES TO LAND ISSUES. NOW IT'S UP TO THE VOTERS TO DECIDE TONIGHT. LIVE IN PORTLAND, SW, WMTW, NEWS 8.

Secure environment allowing multiple agencies to experiment with 3D environments
Federal agencies are experimenting with virtual worlds for training, analysis and team-building in a secure and open source environment, courtesy of the U.S. Army.
The Army's Research Lab Simulation and Training Technology Center in Orlando is hosting an open source training platform behind a secure firewall, allowing about 400 use cases to be tested, Douglas Maxwell, science and technology manager at the lab, said at a conference of the Federal Consortium for Virtual Worlds on May 18.
The lab created the Military Open Simulator Enterprise Strategy (MOSES) last year to test the stability and reliability of open source virtual worlds. Previously, many of the agencies had been using the commercial Second Life platform, but Maxwell said he and others decided to migrate to a more customizable platform that offered options for information assurance and security.
MOSES is an experimental platform and the Army does not intend for it to be a permanent provider of virtual training services, Maxwell said. For now, about 400 projects from military and civilian agencies and partners have been approved for testing in MOSES, he said.
For example, Stephen Aguiar, virtual worlds project lead at the Naval Undersea Warfare Center, said his center is using 3-D virtual environments in MOSES for design, analysis, command and control and experimentation.
The virtual world is being used to test scenarios based on real-life situations, and participants can move, interact and access systems as they do in real life, he said.
"We support team dynamics and access to tactical displays," Aguiar said.
A strong advantage of the virtual environment is that it allows for "rapid prototyping" and the ability to make changes in real time, he added.
Kay McLennan, professor of practice at Tulane University, said she initially migrated her 3-D learning courses to MOSES after an educators' discount expired at the commercial Second Life platform. She uses virtual platforms for teaching economics courses to college students.
One of the great benefits of virtual learning is that it can be simultaneously remedial, for students lagging behind, and also enriching, for more advanced students who want to move more quickly on the course material, she said.
As a teacher, she benefits from the collective feedback from the students generated in the virtual environment. The students' learning contributes to a "network effect" by generating crowdsourced information, she said.
Robert Daniel, president of BlueGrid Virtualization Security and adjunct professor at George Washington University, appeared at the conference wearing an Emotiv Neuro Headset on his head.
The headset reads the user's brainwaves and transmits information about the user's emotions—including excitement, relaxation, engagement or boredom—to an avatar in a virtual world, Daniel said. The brainwaves are used to direct an avatar's actions in the virtual world, and the emotions are shown on the avatar's facial expressions, he said.
In the future, the emotions may generate activity and interactions with other users in the virtual world, he said.

Three Situations When You Shouldn't Use PowerPoint™
The Onion cracks me up. It's sage and humorous tongue-firmly-planted-in-cheek rantings often have me choking on my morning toast.
Not a fan of PowerPoint™ slidedecks? Here's some Onion style ammunition to convince your friends and colleagues.
Seriously though, slidedecks have a time and a place. Sometimes its best to not use them at all.
Don't use a slidedeck if you:
- Haven't practiced your presentation and are winging it (not advised). Technology will usually fail you. You will look like an amateur.
- Are giving a motivational presentation and can easily speak from the heart. Your audience will all ready know the information. You are there to inspire them.
- Do you want to appear as a remarkable leader? Most presenter's use a slidedeck. What if you didn't?
The next time you give a presentation consider whether you really need to create a slidedeck. Will your audience miss it? No, likely not.
The advantage that you have with not using a slidedeck is that all attention and eyes will be focussed on you.
Have you given presentations without a slidedeck? What was the reaction to your bold move?

I am using side matter primarily to footnote legal resources with links (very useful).
I see the sidenote link adopts the formatting of the sidebar. This is undesirable in my theme bc the link format includes an arrow icon and an 'underline'. Also I do not want to use the same link/hover coloring anyway.
It seems there is a possible fix based on post on changing fonts here: ress.org/support/topic/change-font-of-reference-number?replies=4.
However, this is a little out of my comfort zone. For starters, I do not even know how to locate the side-matter.php and .css files. I typically only edit with custom.css and template adjustments when necessary.

Delray Beach, Fla. -- About 60 senior citizens protested at a Florida library where a 10-year-old weekly current events discussion group was canceled after a heated incident.
The seniors gathered Tuesday at the Delray Beach Public Library to protest the cancellation of the weekly group without discussion leaders being consulted, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported Wednesday.
Library officials said the group had a history of unruly behavior, including frequent shouting matches and a fist fight in the parking lot.
Library Director Alan Kornblau told the seniors Tuesday the "last straw" was an argument at last week's meeting that ended with a woman displaying her middle finger to a man with a differing opinion.
Love can act as a healing agent as a recent study by U.S. researchers, published online in the journal PLoS ONE states that love is effective in reducing chronic pain.

Reading V LFC aftermath !!
Dave...I conceded that the keeper played a blinder but if u analyse his saves many of the shots were snatched at and either driven wide or straight at him...Sturidge was particularly guilty in my opinion.Of course we made it into the final third regularly but the final pass was always woeful.We made it into the final third regularly because unlike against WHU this hapless outfit gave us plenty of room down the middle which again imo we did not clinically exploit. It doesnt matter how many shots u have on goal our build up considering how much space these clowns were giving us was way too laborious many other sides in the top half of the table would have cut this team to ribbons given the same amount of space...u make chances and miss them all in my book that isnt all down to the goalkeeper playing a blinder its poor finishing andconsidering the chances we should have finished better it should have been at least 4.0. I have the feeling that Harry Redknapp is going to be available end of season...could he be our new manager ? Certainly he would if appointe be able to bring in Samba AND Loic.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

Don't have the match stats in front of me, but think I remember we got 12 shots on target that required a save or block. I remember one Gerrard shot being blocked, and of course Suarez had one headed off the line, so that leaves 10. I do agree there were a few that were not the strongest of efforts, but most I think were respectable, and some that did require the very best from the keeper. Now that was just what was on target, with Suarez hitting the post on the free kick, and Coutinho just missing by a foot or so, so seems like a fairly offensive effort to me.
At the very least, while I'd say there were 3 or 4 efforts that required a world class effort to prevent goals, some might say on the other shots the quality was not there. I'd not agree with that conclusion, however surely if one did, it would be something down to the players and not the coach, the tactics, or even the attitude if they just did not execute the final ball, despite getting everything else right.

Stormer, the beloved leader of the Alpha Team (...that was the name of his team, right?) is on his mission to catch the evil Speeda Demon. To do so, he got the XL treatment, since the best way to catch a crazy devil on a motorcylce is by becoming a giant robot... or so it seems. Well, let's just start the review.
Set name: Stormer XL
Set Number: 6230
Price: 19.99 Euro
Pieces: 89
Year of release: Summer 2012
Size Class: Box
The Box
The front of the box (which got a nice yellow at the upper side) shows the great bulky Stormer, standing in a friggin' cool ice world, ready to shoot any bad guys down with his launcher.
Like many other people, I have to admit that I don't like Stormer's pose on this box. In early prelim pics, he was shot from a different angle, from which his triangle-shaped body looks far more impressive. It's not a bad pose he got there, but the other pose just looked so much better in my opinion.
The back of the box puts him in a nicer pose, showing the shooting launcher, the handcuffs which can attach to any bad guys wrists and that you can detach the winged drones on his shoulders. There are also nice pics of all sets of this wave on the very right of the box (including Stormer XL - Stormerception?).
Overall, I like the design of the box (which is actually the same size as Black Phantom's). The orange and yellow makes it again brighter than the packaging of the first 2012 wave, which makes me actually wonder if LEGO plans to give the winter sets always a darker packaging than the summer sets (the Ordeal of Fire sets also had quite dark boxes, but at least orange canisters, while pretty much all Savage Planet sets were lime green).
But enough about that, let's open it!
The instructions
The cover of the instruction booklet. I think the image comes off a bit better without all that other stuff on there (like that ad for that video game).
The instructions want to make sure that you don't mix the limb pieces up while building the legs. It also later shows you on which shells you have to apply which stickers, but more about the stickers later.
If you happen to own both Stormer and Speeda, you get the opportunity to build this crazy fellow. I don't know why, but the combination of white, silver, gold, purple and lime green actually works, if you ask me.
The parts
Stormer XL comes with (if I didn't make any mistakes while counting) 89 parts. He got a fair share of bones, white shells, a bit blue and also some silver. He also comes with a few new pieces, so you get quite a lot for your money here.
Oh, he also comes with 6 friction joint-things. Yay!
Oh yeah, he comes with stickers instead of printed shells. I'm on the fence about that. While stickers are not as good as actually printed shells, I personally prefer shells without printing on them, so the stickers actually work for me. And yes, that means that my Stormer won't get stickers, but I'll mention were he would get them during the review.
This new little piece is used to attach the outer shell on Stormer's lower legs. I actually didn't expect it to have a hole in the ball section too, but after building him, I noticed that hole is really important.
Let us all hope that TLG puts that piece into Pick-a-Brick, because I gonna need LOTS of these.
The new small connector was a pleasant surprise for me. Stormer uses it for his back section. While I don't have any awesome ideas to use that piece for MOCing yet, it's definitely a nice addition to the growing sortiment of new limb pieces.
The winged drone (which actually requires stickers) is arguably one of the coolest pieces you can attach to a shell so far (well, the only thing which rocks more are probably Stringer's speakers). Stormer got 5 of them in silver.
They look also very nice on regular sized torso armour shells. Just so you know.
The new huge feet looked initially kinda weird. Having them now in front of me, I must say they look pretty cool and are a nice alternative to the "feet" of the older titans. I do, however, wonder why Stormer's feet are silver, and not white.
Here we got Stormer's new HULKing chest armour. It's a very wide piece...
...with two sockets at its wide ends. In case you missed my incredibly lame pun above, it's the same piece which is also used by the Ultrabuild Hulk, but only in white.
Stormer got also yet another recolour of Breez's/Batman's sword, this time in silver with a blue blade. It looks sweet, goes nicely with his colours and he comes with two of them.
Building the hero
The build start with the main torso and adding some stuff to it's back.
Then, we continue with the legs, which get all the friction joints. Building Stormer's feet reminded me of the many Bionicle sets were you also had to connect the foot with one of those wonderfuly versatile ball sockets. Ah, good old days...
(Oh, and can you see that little black TECHNIC piece behind the ankle? It's there to make sure the socket stays in place)
After adding the thigh, the whole leg gets armour cladding (and normally stickers on the thigh and the front of the large shell).
Except for the stickers, you do the same for the right leg (only mirrored, of course) and add a clip for the handcuffs on the thigh.
Here you can see the skeleton of Stormer's back, which also uses the new connector piece. At this point, you can already get a slight feeling for what the final set will look like.
He gets some armour on his back and on his arms (the drones would also get stickers), and after that...
...you build his sword. I think the picture speaks for itself, it's not too complicated.
The launcher is even simpler, which is also why I didn't bother myself with making pictures of it. Put two red axles into fist, attach the lower part, attach the upper part, then attach the fist to his right arm, and the launcher is done. Nothing special here.
After the sword, he get's his head (which is on the small limb piece), helmet and the lower torso armour.
Then, he gets the large white torso armour (which would also get two stickers, as seen on the box), his Hero Core, the blue shells with the last two drones, and you got...
Stormer XL - Ready for his mission!
Forgotten is the awkward picture on the box once you got Stormer XL together. He is big, he is bulky, but he's still quite sleek and dynamic.
From the front, he looks very nice. I have only two minor complaints about his design here. First, his feet kinda stand out because they are silver, but it's not that bad. And second, his arms seem a bit short. I'd appreciate if his lower arms would have been a stud longer, but maybe it's just because of his very wide upper torso.
His back is nicely covered with a regular armour shell. The instructions tell you to attach a clip for the handcuffs there, but it's not mentioned again at the end of the instructions (or anywhere else, for that matter). Anyway, I think the cuffs are annoying at his thighs anyway, so I store them on his back.
In addition to his launcher and the handcuffs, Stormer XL is poseable. No, seriously, despite his size, he actually can do lots of poses, for example, stuff like...
...this. Try this with Fire Lord, Rocka XL or Black Phantom. I dare you.
Stormer XL benefits greatly from the friction joints in his legs, which are able to carry the weight of his body without any additional limb constructions, so he got an wider range of motion with his legs than previous titans. In fact, he got even more poseability in his legs than even the smaller sets, since he also rotates at the knee joint.
His arms are also quite stable, partly because of the design of his back, partly because they're so short, I suppose.
Here's a size comparison with Rocka XL, Black Phantom and the new Stringer set. Stormer is a bit shorter than Rocka and BP, but he beats them in terms of poseability by far. He also still manages to look really impressive next to the regular sized sets.
(I must admit, however, that I orginally liked the proportions of Rocka XL a tiny bit more - but now, it's more a draw between the two).
Final thoughts
Stormer XL marks a huge step forward in the design of the titan sets. While his arms do look kinda short, he's overall a fantastic set, and if you want a large hero to face off against the most evil villains your imagination can create, he's the right hero for the job. As long as you don't prefer lime and purple (read: Speeda Demon) over white and blue, Stormer XL is worth the money.

They started debiting our account for services a month before sending us equipment and the first week we had the equipment we found out the checks were not guaranteed. When I called them they informed me they only were verifying that the check was valid and the account was open.
Then I discovered they were having returned checks sent to another company that would attempt to collect the money and I was being charged a monthly fee for that service. Again they said they would not guarantee collection, but if the company collected I would be reimbursed in full.
Then they began to debit my account for the equipment and the rate was higher than agreed.
I called several times and was told someone in upper management would call me back, but it never happened.
I informed them by telephone I was cancelling the service and also sent them a letter they acknowledged receiving. However, they refuse to cancel the service until I send them a check for $375.00. Otherwise they will continue billing me.
MBF informed me I would have to get instructions from Integrity on what to do with the machine or pay them $2,400.00 to cancel the lease.
I filed a complaint with BBB and changed my bank account to stop the debits.
These two caompanies are a complete rip-off and business owners signing with them will suffer for doing so. I would happily join any class action suit to stop them from ripping-off more businesses.

Self-reliance and sustainability in the 21st century.
By Michelle Martin
Radical Urban Sustainability, Scott Kellogg, self-sufficiency, Radix
Although I dream of someday creating my own self-sufficient lifestyle in the country, I realize that I will simply have to remain a city-dweller for a few years if I want work to quickly pay back my student loans. I am sure that many other eco-dreamers dwell in city apartments, yearning for the simple life. But an upcoming course in Radical Urban Sustainability Training makes me wonder if we can have the best of both worlds.
Radical Urban Sustainability stresses implementing affordable, sustainable systems for city dwellers. If you are tired of depending on the external world for your food, power and water just because you live in a city/suburban house or apartment, you could learn how to break away from the system in a two-day-long boot camp on urban self-reliance. You will discover how to maximize your space by raising micro-livestock, growing gardens, cultivating mini-ecosystems and creating your own energy. Participants will learn to build self-reliant infrastructure by utilizing salvaged and recycled materials. Curriculum focuses on the interrelatedness of sustainability to social justice. The course description states that the RUST systems can apply to either urban or rural environments — even in apartment spaces! Expect a constant stream of hands-on activities, demos and lectures throughout the two days.
RUST, or Radical Urban Sustainability Training, is held in Albany, N.Y., on July 10-11. Course teachers include Scott Kellogg, co-author of the Toolbox for Sustainable City Living and developer of the Radix Ecological Sustainability Center, and Lauren Ross, environmental engineer and permaculture expert. The Radix Ecological Sustainability Center is an active demonstration of environmental technologies and sustainable micro-industries that apply to urban lifestyles. You can browse through a virtual tour on their website.
Typical topics/demos in the course include:
One intriguing example of Radix's urban sustainability is this constructed wetland. Radix builds their own wetlands which purify greywater. The plants gain nutrients and the cleaned water can help irrigate vegetable crops!
The workshop will take place in the Albany Free School. Cost varies on a sliding scale from $150 to $350 depending on how much you can pay. Vegan meals and camping are included.
To register, mail your name, e-mail, a paragraph about your interests, any special needs and a check with a deposit of $90 to:
RUST199 Circular St.Saratoga Springs, NY12866
You might want to shoot Scott an e-mail first to make sure there is space available.
If you already have plans that weekend, don't fret. These guys plan to offer another RUST course in October.

TALKEETNA, Alaska — We were flying so close to the jagged peaks in Denali National Park and Preserve that we felt we could have reached out and almost touched the snow. In fact, our 50-year-old Canadian-built Otter was often barely 400 metres from the mountainside. You see scenes like this in a movie. But when you are in the scenery yourself in a 10-seater plane, it's a surreal feeling. In fact, the overwhelming beauty can move you to tears.
Showgoers will doubtless go home with dreams of a new car to drive to work or take to the cottage. Our road warrior writer Garry Sowerby looks at vehicles in a slightly different way — he's always looking for wheels for his next adventure. Check out his dream drives and figure which cars at the show you would choose to take on such journeys.
Normally in this space, I get to share some of my cruising adventures with you. In 2013, you can share the experience with me as I trade in my laptop to personally escort an exclusive, 11-day Best of Alaska Ultimate Cruise Tour for Vancouver-based Cruise Experts Travel (alaskacruiseexperts.com).

Skip to comments.Zimmerman prosecutor has history of going after critics
Posted on 06/14/2012 6:02:38 AM PDT by marktwain
Yesterday I posted about how Alan Dershowitz alleged that Zimmerman prosecutor Angela Corey called up Harvard Law School complaining about Dershowitz and treatening to sue for libel based on Dershowitzs criticisms of her handling of the case.
The whole incident seemed strange, and reflected conduct that should be off limits for any prosecutor and certainly for a senior prosecutor on a high profile case.
It appears, however, that the Dershowitz incident was no isolated incident. According to Ron Littlepage, a columnist for the (Jacksonville) Florida Times-Union, Corey has done this several times before:
"Last December when I wrote a column critical of how she handled the Cristian Fernandez case, she fired off a two-page, single-spaced letter on official state attorney letterhead hinting at lawsuits for libel.
In the letter, she called me out for my lack of knowledge and objectivity about the workings of the criminal justice system. Ouch. I think she called me stupid .
Then theres Coreys spat with Sandy DAlemberte.
DAlemberte is a former president of the American Bar Association, a former president of Florida State University and a law professor not too shabby in the legal credentials department.
When Corey was appointed to head up the investigation into the shooting death of Trayvon Martin by George Zimmerman, DAlemberte had this to say:
I cannot imagine a worse choice for a prosecutor to serve in the Sanford case. There is nothing in Angela Coreys background that suits her for the task, and she cannot command the respect of people who care about justice.
Earlier, DAlemberte had criticized Corey in the Fernandez case. The reaction then: A public records request from her office to FSU seeking all emails, text messages and phone messages involving DAlemberte related to Fernandez.
Then there was this:
When David Utter of the Southern Poverty Law Center was on Melissa Rosss radio program and had the audacity to say that Fernandez should be in the juvenile system instead of adult court, that prompted a 20-minute scream-fest from Corey in a call to the centers director.
Similar criticism from Jeff Goldhagen, a professor and chief of the division of community pediatrics at Shands Jacksonville, elicited a similar response from Corey."
Something appears to be rotten in the state of Zimmerman prosecution.
Corey would be the perfect RINO, GOP-E, Republican castrati, and racist DemoRat commie choice, so...
Inspector Javert? Rrosecutor Javert? Zimmerman's in for one miserable experience...
Sovereign immunity isn't enough for the prosecutor? Apparently not.
Could be. I've read speculation that Governor Scott appointed her as a way to be rid of her.
ANOTHER leftoid conspiracy.
Note the HUGE timelag between the mugger's demise and the time YOU heard about it.
It took time for the Melinan-enhanced mob to gather and organize.
Race and money—race and money $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
"Let me emphasize that we do not prosecute by public pressure or by petition. We prosecute based on the facts of any given case, as well as the laws of the state of Florida."
Did she lie in that statement to the press???
Yesterday the judge ordered her to release GZ's statements to the SPD as well as the lie detector test that he passed that night. She has two weeks to release them. What was she holding them for??? Were they a danger to the community??? Were they a flight risk???
Obviously they are embarrassing to her case and contain "facts" that she chose to ignore in her indictment.
So they had to be pried out of her cold calculating hands by a court order in spite of the fact that the laws of the state of Florida require them to be made public.
I think most prosecutors would not have charged Z's wife with perjury until all the smoke had cleared from the main trial, and maybe not then.
I believe I've read here that the defense also did not want Z's statements all released.
She is after her 15 minutes of fame, I hope that after she has it, she will join Marsha Clark in history as one of the worst lawyers that ever went to court.Or perhaps a Nifong, another attorney who ignored facts and prosecuted.
She doesn't sound toobright to me.A good Attorney shoud have a field day with her.
I think I read that too. And that puzzled me.
More like Nifong than Marcia Clark, who will forever be known for the bloody glove fiasco that led to his acquittal. She had every reason to indict OJ but made a fatal decision about trying on the glove WITH A LATEX GLOVE UNDERNEATH. Where was her brain????
"Could be. Ive read speculation that Governor Scott appointed her as a way to be rid of her."
Peter Principle in being applied!
With this time of insane and unprofessional behavior, WHERE IS THE FLORIDA BAR?
Are they too busy endorsing homosexual adoption / access to children?
Are they too busy trying to protect friend judges from voters via merit retention?
Are they too busy attacking their members and pushing for more law schools?
It seems that arguably inconsistent statements by Zimmerman are the prosecution's main evidence. The defense did not want these statements public because they hope to prevent them from being introduced at the trial.
O'Mara asked for 30 days to review Zimmerman's statements for involuntary confession, which is material that can be suppressed at trial. Otherwise, he had no objection to making Zimmerman's statements public.
The state argued to not allow the statements to be public at all, until trial, because they are planning to show inconsistencies between the statements and the evidence - they claimed that sort of statement amounts to a confession of guilt.
The state lost.
I doubt the inconsistencies amount to spit. The state is attempting to try its case in public, while claiming the opposite.
I think she is an unprincipled hack who sincerely believes Zimmerman is bad. I think she also knows her case is weak, and knowing that, she is also acting unethically.
Dershowitz know how to push her buttons, and the public sentiment is going to get under her thin skin, too.
She's going to get her fame, and I don't think she is going to enjoy it.
You have to ask, inconsistent with what other evidence? The only difference between the evidence Corey has, and the evidence SPD had, is DeeDee and Sybrina. SPD said that none of the evidence contradicted Zimmerman's account. NONE of it. Corey is going to invoke conjecture up the wazoo, and that is going to be met with objection after objection. She needs evidence.
Enter DeeDee for the proposition that Zimmerman chased Martin down and assaulted or battered Martin. Enter Sybrina for the proposition that Zimmerman held Martin at physical disadvantage for an extended period (Martin is the one yelling for help), then shot him for no reason. Of course Zimmerman's account is inconsistent with DeeDee and Sybrina.
-- The defense did not want these statements public because they hope to prevent them from being introduced at the trial. --
The state can't prevent the introduction of Zimmerman's account at trial. That's impossible. The reason the state doesn't want the material public is that the state is attempting to try the case in public, and wants to suppress all the material that undermines its murder rap; and its fanciful claims that Zimmerman's own account is "incredible" to the extent it can't be believed.
You have to ask that question only if you don't understand that the inconsistancies are within GZ's own statements to police. That is why one of the DTs thought he should be charged.
she is a hack.
she is a typical elected lawyer who does not like the second amendment period. She wants to make an example in hopes of a defact abolishing of the second amendment and any attempt at self defense.
If people can clean up criminals on their own, why do we need such pompous hacks like corey?
This calls into question the competence fo the Florida Bar to police prosecutors.
Anyway how material can these arguably inconsistent statements be that cannot be explained away by the headbashing he took that night???
How many people who have their head bashed onto a concret sidewalk edge and then have their nose broken and face repeatedly hit are going to be thinking 100% clear?
Where is the bar complaint against corey?
We'll see about the inconsistencies within his own statements to police, once his statements to police are made public.
As for the inconsistencies being the basis for Serino thinking Zimmerman should be charged, the parts of the record that I've read say otherwise. You contend the basis for the DTs opinion was inconsistencies within GZs own statements to police. It's up to you to support your contention.
I cannot imagine a worse choice for a prosecutor to serve in the Sanford case. There is nothing in Angela Coreys background that suits her for the task, and she cannot command the respect of people who care about justice.
I'm sure her answer will be: "I told you so".
It's a question we should keep asking the Florida State Attorney general, RINO Pam Bondi
She's a in Romney's quiver
The American Bar Association has nothing to do with lawyer regulation. They are a 100% voluntary organization and the vast majority of lawyers are not members.
The party to contact is the Florida Bar section on lawyer regulation and their ethics department.
Bondi is another failure.
she caved to the banks regarding bank fraud.
She is just camera pretty. She was elected but that is not enough to get the job done.
She should be primaried.
The most amusing thing is seeing the bleeding hearts here on FR echoing the initial criticism of progressive commentators
"I cannot imagine a worse choice for a prosecutor to serve in the Sanford case. There is nothing in Angela Corey's background that suits her for the task, and she cannot command the respect of people who care about justice.""justice" here meant going easy on juveniles and minorities who commit acts of violence. And as juveniles and minorities are the ones mainly committing acts of violence. the progressives did not like her.
Can you provide evidence for that statement??? evidence -- not hearsay.
That appears to be who she was and is, and why she had the support of the law and order crowd for her election. After this case, many of those convictions may have to be revisited. Her bio on wiki is not particularly flattering, especially the Marissa Alexander episode.
I agree Sandy D'Alemberte is probably a big pussy, but common courtesy requires to still refer to him with masculine pronouns.
The basis for SPD suggesting charging was neither of the doubts about details of Zimmerman's account. The Serino affidavit transmitted to Wolfinger cites Zimmerman to blame on account of either getting out of his truck (if he hadn't, the event doesn't occur), or, in the alternative, if Zimmerman had explained to Martin that he was a watchman or something like that.
I can't find any evidence for the contention that SPD justified an opinion to charge, using the doubts about the two details NYT reported, or any other inconsistency in Zimmerman's statements.
Trayvon Martin Case Shadowed by Series of Police Missteps - NYTimes.com - Serge F. Kovaleski - May 16, 2012
Bond Hearing of April 20, 2012 [partial] - CNN Transcript
The Trayvon Martin Case, Update 11: The Dee Dee InterviewKaboom!
Marissa Alexander deserved to be convicted, IMO. I don't think she deserves 20 years, but her account was not believed, and is not believable. Her conduct after being released on bond was to again, against court orders, confront her hubby or ex (whatever he was). I don't think she was trying to shoot him, but I do not believe she had any need to fire the gun in the house.
I think you're right. It's starting to look like the Prosecution has pretty much ......... nothing. Even this perjury thing will probably fizzle out,
Magic Bullet redux ?
"I think she is an unprincipled hack who sincerely believes Zimmerman is bad."
It's fairly obvious you can exchange anyone's name -that has the gaul to critique her- for Zimmerman. The woman is unhinged.
Thank you for that. Good remarks about de la Rionda's interview of DeeDee. She's not helpful to the prosecution.
My apologies to his wife.
Sure...right after you provide the proof that TM attacked GZ. You know, the proof you've been ducking for weeks.
Perhaps that's why she's indicting Zimmerman's wife for perjury. She doesn't want a trial, where Zimmerman's defense attorney would expose her as an idiot. She wants to pressure Zimmerman into a plea bargain, by whatever means necessary.
Corey was fired by our previous DA for the way she treated interns. When the DA retired, Corey was on the Board of Directors for the Duval REC. The REC broke party rules and endorsed her during the primaries.
No one filed to run against her by the deadline this year; so she is automaticaly re-elected without facing the voters.
and the American Medical Association has only about 15-18% of practicing doctors.....
I wonder why the ABA and the AMA hold such reverence in the media, when they don't even represent a substantial MINORITY of practicing lawyers and doctors, respectively...
According to this article in the American Thinker,
Tracy Martin was spreading that rumor:
I don't think you understood my point. The DEFENSE will attempt to keep some of Zimmerman's statements out of the trial.
Also, while I believe Zimmerman, many here don't realize there is a legitimate legal issue as to whether he was justified in shooting and killing. Maybe not murder 2, but manslaughter, etc.
3 big items are obvious. Zimmerman knew police were on the way, he apparently had moved to the grass so his head wasn't hitting the sidewalk at that point, and he got his arm free well enough to draw a gun and fire.
I'm not accepting all these points but that is the case. Zimmerman's inconsistent statements seem to involve how he was able to have a free hand if he was under such a life threatening assault at that moment.
It will be contested next time. I think even the city dogcatcher would unseat her now.
We have the Serino affidavit now. It's pages 26 & 27 in that 183 page document dump of May 17th. It suggests a manslaughter charge, and justifies that charge on the gounds I noted - Zimmerman is to blame for getting out of his truck, or, in the alternative, for not announcing his intentions.
Oh — okay.
That'll be an uphill battle too, unless the statement is in the nature of an involuntary confession, and I don't see that happening. I expect the prosecution to raise the same bogus arguments that have permeated discussion here and elsewhere. Not enough injury to justify use of deadly force, for one.
-- Zimmerman's inconsistent statements seem to involve how he was able to have a free hand if he was under such a life threatening assault at that moment. --
We'll have his account soon enough. As for the "at the moment" criteria, the justified use of force isn't limited to a particular instant. If Martin isn't showing any sign of letting up or otherwise abandoning his intention, Zimmerman's got a good argument that he remains in fear.
this is an unethical charge. Charge the wife with anything then offer her a plea deal based on flipping against her husband.
Corey should be the one in jail.
