Well, I was inspired by BerndDasBrot's excellent M-Tron theme review to do a review of one of my favorite Space subthemes- Ice Planet 2002. My review is even more text-heavy than his, so be warned! Apologies in advance for the occasionally dark/blurry photos.
Theme Review
Ice Planet 2002 seems to be one of the more controversial of the classic Space themes. Mostly, it was the color scheme that bothered people- neon orange, classic blue, and white. In my opinion this color scheme suited the theme very well. The blue and white gave the sets an appropriate "frosty" look, and the orange completes the scheme nicely as a complementary color. It seems much more thought out than the color schemes of recent years. Ice Planet 2002 was very different in a lot of ways, but it worked well, and it brought some variety to the Space sets.

Ice Planet 2002 was released in 1993, replacing M-Tron as the "civilian" faction. However, where M-Tron seemed to be some kind of cargo transport business, Ice Planet 2002 was an exploration/reconnaissance team. Many of the sets featured satellites and rockets that were deployable by certain vehicles and the base. According to a 1994 catalog (rough translation):
"In the icecold cryosphere of IcePlanet, explorers research for new technologies for interstellar communication. Unfortunately their innovative rockets and satellites get stolen continually. Maybe there's a spy from spyrius within their engineers?"
Whatever their purpose, they accompanied the Unitron and Spyrius themes in the same way M-Tron accompanied Space Police II and Blacktron Next Gen. As a theme, it was released right after the end of the Space Police II/Blacktron II conflict (1991-1993), and right before the Unitron/Spyrius conflict (1994-1996), though in terms of storyline it arrives during Space Police II and Spyrius (gathered from numerous catalog shots of all three themes together).
If that was confusing, here's a chart to help clarify:
After Ice Planet was discontinued in 1994, it was followed by a succession of "good guy" factions (Unitron and RoboForce), "bad guy" factions (UFO and Insectoids) and one neutral faction (Exploriens). Life On Mars was then released in 2001, a theme set rather outside of the typical LEGO Space storyline. Life on Mars marked the end of LEGO Space for a few years until the less popular Mars Mission was released in 2007. Although it wasn't well received at first, the attempted revival of LEGO Space saw drastic improvement in 2008, and now Space Patrol is poised to continue Space in 2009. Hopefully these new sets will live up to the biggest theme in LEGO history!
(Accuracy note: The moral standings of RoboForce, UFO, and Insectoids isn't abundantly clear, but given how those themes are generally protrayed I think it's safe to make a few assumptions. Also, this image seems to imply a conflict between RoboForce and UFO.)
Ice Planet 2002 consisted of 10 sets, including the polybag and boxed versions of the Snow Scooter as well as it's re-release as the Space Diver in 1998. This list also includes an unnamed snow plow that was released in the USA as part of a value pack. You could feasibly ignore these throwaways and say that Ice Planet had six main sets.
(click the images to go to the corresponding Brickset page)
6973 Deep Freeze Defender [1] [2] [3] [4]
There are few who can deny that this set is a beast. Any great LEGO Space faction has to have a massive starship, and not only does Ice Planet have one, it has one of the most acclaimed starships in LEGO history! A huge part of this ship's success is it's excellent modularity. The two frontal cockpits detach from the body, which can detach from the rear cargo bay. You can also re-attach one cockpit to the center of the body and the other cockpit to the cargo bay to make two more medium-sized cruisers! These cruisers are good enough to be sets themselves. As an interesting note, this is the only Space set to include a garage door from the Town theme. The garage door can open to launch a small scooter, as well! This is one of the best starships in LEGO history, arguably as good as the Galactic Mediator. Includes three minifigs.
Score: 9.4/10 Outstanding
6983 Ice Station Odyssey [sorry, no out-of-box photos]
The Ice Station Odyssey isn't the best of the bases LEGO Space has brought us, but it's still very good. It comes with a small sled and a truck that can transport satellites around the base. It also included a nice crane mechanism that can move satellites to the launch pad, docking bay, transport truck, or wherever else you want to put it. The "open" construction of the base may turn some people off, but it's undeniably detailed and functional. This is one of the better bases! Includes three minfigs.
Score: 7.5/10 Decent
6898 Ice-Sat V [1] [2] [3] [4]
In terms of ground vehicles, the Ice-Sat V isn't quite as good as other legends such as the Mega-Core Magnetizer or the Solar Snooper, but it's still a decent small-to-medium size set. It has a crane that can be used to load/unload satellites from the cargo hold that makes up the body of the truck. That's about it, really- this set is more fun when you have the base to go with it. It includes one minifig.
Score: 8/10 Excellent
6879 Blizzard Baron [1] [2] [3] [4]
The Blizzard Baron is an excellent small stunt fighter with good construction and great parts. Not exactly the stuff of legend, but it's still a fantastic little set with a good array of features. The biggest flaw with the set is that the open cockpit provides little protection for the pilot. Includes one minifig.
Score: 8.5/10 Excellent
6898 Celestial Sled [1] [2] [3]
Generally speaking, LEGO Space seems to be at it's best with big bulky sets like the Galactic Mediator, and the smaller sets seem a little lacking. Not so here! The Celestial Sled is a wonderful little set with a surprising amount of detail. Check out that sonar array in the back! This consistent level of quality is what makes Ice Planet 2002 such a great theme. Includes one minifig.
Score: 9/10 Outstanding
6814 Ice Tunnelator [1] [2] [3]
Your typical throw-away ground vehicle. Nothing exactly wrong with this set, but there's nothing special about it either. At least it's an easy way to collect the wonderful Ice Planet minifigs. Includes one minifig.
Score: 6/10 Good
1731 Snow Scooter [sorry, no out-of-box photos]
There's nothing about this set that can't be gathered from the box image. Just your average, run-of-the-mill impulse. Includes one minifig.
Score: 5/10 Mediocre
1711 Snow Scooter (polybag) [sorry, no out-of-box photos]
Same set as 1731, only it comes in a polybag. Includes one minifig.
Score: 5/10 Mediocre
3014 Space Diver [sorry, no out-of-box photos]
Ice Planet 2002 officially ended in 1994, but for some reason, in 1998 LEGO saw fit to re-release the worst set of the theme under a different name- the Space Diver. Why? Who knows! Includes one minifig.
Score: 5/10 Mediocre
1704 (unnamed) [sorry, no out-of-box photos]
Shame this set wasn't more widely released! You'd think a winter-based theme would need a snowplow. This set is great, but good luck finding it. Includes one minifig.
Score: 8.5/10 Excellent
And the winner is...
6973 Deep Freeze Defender
If you were to buy a single Ice Planet 2002 set, what should you get? The answer is an easy one- 6973 Deep Freeze Defender, the definitive Ice Planet set. This beauty is a hallmark of LEGO Space and it's easily the best of it's theme. Why? Several reasons- for one, it just looks great. The dual-cockpit design is refreshingly new, and the entire thing looks sleek and polished. The color scheme really comes through with this set, as well- the orange is nicely spaced out. And as I mentioned before- it's modularity is unparalleled! Behold:
The entire set splits into four sections…
All of which can function as their own vehicle. You already have five vehicles in one set!
Each cockpit/pod can attach to the cargo bay and midsection of the ship, forming two new cruisers- now you have seven vehicles in one!
Don't forget about the deployable mini-scooter. The grand total: Eight vehicles in one set! I can't think of another Space set with that kind of modularity. And even better, each vehicle looks fantastic!
But wait, that's not all this beast of a set can do. It can also launch the trademark Ice Planet satellites from the midsection of the ship:
Open up and away it goes!
You get three minifigs with the set- one for each cockpit and an extra to fly the mini-scooter. Fortunately, one of these minifigs is the legendary icebabe! More on that later. Meanwhile, here's the Deep Freeze Defender in all it's glory:
I've heard it argued that the DFD doesn't have much frontal firepower- which is true, but there's a reason for that. If you read my somewhat lengthy background information section, you'll remember that Ice Planet 2002 is a "civilian" faction- more specifically, a research team whose primary goal seems to be launching satellites into the atmosphere to collect data. Considering they're conducting their research on an inhospitable wasteland, I don't think they'd need a whole lot of firepower out there!
Final grades:
Color scheme: 10/10
Functionality: 10/10
Build: 9/10
Minifigs: 10/10
Execution: 8/10
Overall: 9.4/10 Outstanding
Ice Planet 2002 featured some wonderful minifigs! A nice variety of faces are included, as well as two different bodies.
This is your basic Ice Planet minifig. Standard backpack and legs, but they have a nice helmet with a cool orange visor. The bodies are very nice as well, with a cool decal showing the thermal suit details as well as the Ice Planet logo.
Here's the less common "commander" minifig. The only difference is a new body and a different face.
You can also equip your Ice Planet minifigs with snowshoes and saws to complete the look.
Another interesting note- Ice Planet 2002 is the first Space theme to introduce female minifigs! Everything before Ice Planet was either male or gender-neutral. Behold the "icebabe":
You know you want to hit that.
A couple of unusual pieces exclusive to Ice Planet 2002.
Ice Planet 2002 was the first theme to introduce trans-orange parts (and I think the only theme to utilize trans-orange successfully):
A garage door piece otherwise exclusive to Town:
An Ice Planet logo printed on a tile:
Cool canopy with Ice Planet decals:
Yes, all Ice Planet parts were printed! No DDSs here!
Here are some great shots of Ice Planet from some old LEGO catalogs! Click on the images to view the larger versions.
A couple of rough translations:
"and again some spyrius guys abducted two satellites and one booster rocket from the explorer-team of IcePlanet to their planet Spyrius. Can the SpacePolice persist?"
"In the icecold cryosphere of IcePlanet, explorers research for new technologies for interstellar communication. Unfortunately their innovative rockets and satellites get stolen continually. Maybe there's a spy from spyrius within their engineers?"
"For galactic chills and thrills check out this awesome group. They live on a frozen planet and their super secret rocket technology is wanted by everyone in the universe."

A couple of little-known facts I mentioned earlier, but they get their own section here.
- Ice Planet 2002 was the first Space theme to include a female minifig.
- According to one of the boxes, Ice Planet 2002 takes place on the planet "Krysto". Here's the quote: "The ice planet Krysto, with its vast network of frozen tunnels and caves, is the capital of a remote part of the universe known as Ice Planet 2002. It is from this snow covered planet that rocket technicians are conducting top secret research. Their findings are coveted by the Blacktron forces and even renegades within the Space Police."
- Ice Planet 2002 was the one of the last "civilian" factions in LEGO Space, and most of the themes that followed it had unclear moral standings. Exploriens could be considered the last-ever "civilian" faction.
- Although Ice Planet was officially discontinued in 1994, the Snow Scooter was re-released in 1998 as the Space Diver.
- Ice Planet developed a small following on 4chan. I have not looked deeper into this for fear of that website.
- The commander of the Ice Planet team (the only minifig to have a different body from the rest) has a name: "Commander Cold".
- Ice Planet is the first Space theme to use a garage door piece from Town. It also used this piece in orange and white, colors it never came in otherwise.
- Ice Planet introduced the first ever transparent orange LEGO elements.
Many thanks to BerndDasBrot for helping with translation and providing some great photos, as well as inspiring me to do this review! Be sure to check out his reviews of M-Tron and Space Police II.
Sources include Wikipedia (which has a very nice section on LEGO Space), Brickset, Peeron, the Ultimate LEGO Book, and Brickfactory.
Ice Planet deviated from traditional LEGO Space in a lot of ways. It was the first to have a distinct elemental setting- most other Space sets are just set in… space. It also had a very intriguing color scheme, though controversial. All of the "main" sets had a very consistent level of quality- you couldn't really point to one of them and go "yeah, that set sucks", because none of them did. It's true that it lacked medium-sized sets, and that LEGO was rather stingy about minifigs at the time, but few can deny that Ice Planet 2002 was one of the most memorable factions in LEGO Space!
Stay tuned for my upcoming Spyrius review!

The Minnesota Golden Gophers announced a few changes to their future football schedules this morning.
On Sept. 6, 2014, Minnesota will host the Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders at TCF Bank Stadium.
The Golden Gophers were previously scheduled to travel to Miami (OH) on Sept. 6, 2014, but will now make the trip to face the RedHawks on Sept. 17, 2016.
The shifting of Miami to 2016 has also completed Minnesota's 2016 non-conference slate. The Gophers also host New Mexico State, Indiana State and Colorado State.
Here's a look at Minnesota's non-conference opponents through 2017. The Golden Gophers need one game in 2015 and two in 2017.
Glad to see that "changes to future schedules" did not mean the removal of North Carolina…for now.
Now if they can just beat North Dakota State! , somewhere Glen Mason is rolling over in his grave… Seriously though, it is a tougher non conference schedule than any of the sec teams play, yeah I know bama has got to play sw nursing school 4 times a year to rest from the gauntlet of kentucky, missippi, missippi st, and vanderbuilt lol.
So we get a peak at the first pac12 vs big10 game in 017 minny vs osu, sounds about right, don't think the fans of either will get too excited about it kinda meh…
Actually, those OOC schedules are very comparable to what the average SEC team plays, and they might even be worse (with the exception of "Missippi" State's).
Alabama plays Michigan this year, a team that completely embarrassed Minnesota last year. So I wouldn't be complaining about weak non-conference scheduling until the Gophers show the ability to at least be competitive against decent teams.
Looks like Pa must have attended a SEC school based on that post…
Its not all Minnesota's fault that they don't have the best football program. They play in the Big Ten and have recruiting battles with Ohio State, Michigan, Michigan St, Nebraska, Wisconsin.. If they are looking for the better of their football program, move to the Big East.
Wait, what happened to the Big Ten moving to a nine-game schedule?
Don't have the source, but I believe that when the B1G/P12 agreement was announced, Commish Delany said that those 9-game conference schedule plans were postponed.
Then how do you explain why Minnesota is playing only one Pac-12 team in the next 6 years (Oregon State in 2017)?
Going purely by recall here (from the late December 2011 announcement)…
I think (don't definitively KNOW) that it's b/c the B1G/P12 targeted 2017 as the first year of full participation (12 vs. 12) in the agreement, with an intent among AD's to try to ramp up the # of games b/t conferences before that time (2017)…
This 2017 date applies to FB at least, I don't know how soon this would be incorporated into basketball. Only series that was announced for BB on heels of this was a Michigan-Arizona home & home.
Anyway, don't trust me…a friend named could help look it up.
That is, "a friend named…insert favorite search engine here…could help".

f.Boo Music is a family owned production company, indie record label, and recording
studio dedicated to creating music that's arresting, disarming, and maybe just
a little bit different.
Zip Guns (Keven Brennan, Tim Glum, Jon Biggs, Jason Gutierrez)
Musician and composer, Camilo Otero specializes in crafting beautiful and compelling soundscapes. Check out his stuff on SoundCloud. He's been part of the fBoo family since 2006, entering as guitarist for live band performances promoting Keven Brennan's 4th CD "God is a Mighty Gourd."
Camilo has contributed to fBoo projects and peformances ever since, most recently playing guitar on forth-coming Alan Wachs CD, and working alongside Keven on the Los Feliz Project (Afro, Funk, and traditional Colombian rhythms and song forms). Los Feliz released single "Mindiwa/Howlin' at the Moon" and debut EP may be purchased on CDBaby [here].

Robin Brennan's CD, I'll be home for Christmas, has a special mission: to help disabled vets and their families by raising awareness and funds.
20% of the CD proceeds go to benefit disabled vets and their families. See Robin's artist page for the whole story and to hear songs from the CD.
"I'll be home for Christmas" may be purchased at the f.Boo online store.
Red Oak Duo, f.Boo artists Adam Benjamin and Storm Nilson, have teamed up with their new duo project "Red Oak." Their self-titled debut album was released in July and the duo hit the road for their West Coast CD release tour.
Red Oak is a natural synthesis of jazz and country... a sophisticated jazz vibe intertwines with the pastoral sounds of country and folk to create a unique and evocative portrait of modern-day America.
These two acclaimed composers and improvisors, whose relationship dates back to their days as students at the California Institute of the Arts, have crafted a unique duo act. Reminiscent of Bill Frisell, Pat Metheny and Keith Jarrett, the landscapes of America are painted in stark detail on their debut album. Check out Red Oak Duo on their f.Boo artist page and at redoakduo.wordpress.com.
Storm Nilson's debut album "Home" is a collection of standards and an original song written by Nilson, played on acoustic guitar.
"Home" tells a story about American music, mixing adventure with a yearning for the familiar. In Nilson's words, "The fusion between jazz and rural-based music is not only beautiful, but naturally blends my feelings about my own geographical past with a musical journey across the continent." Check out Storm on his f.Boo artist page and at stormnilson.com.
Los Feliz is a collaboration reaching from Los Angeles to Bogata, Colombia. Defying the "borders" - we can't wait to reveal what's going to be quite the splash!
Keven Brennan's own "Stand in the Light" album is
getting great reviews. See his page
for words from Mr. H of Zeitgeist.
Grammy winner Sharon Robinson's third solo release and first EP, entitled, "Sharon Robinson EP 1", will be distributed by Floating World Records, UK, and exclusively available on Sharon's upcoming Summer '16 European Tour.
Produced by Keven Brennan, the EP contains four soulful covers that expand on Robinson's artistic journey as a singer; for the first time recording songs by writers other than herself and her many collaborations with Leonard Cohen.
"After releasing my current solo LP, Caffeine, I wanted to record songs by singers and writers I admired and include them in my next tour. I'd never done that before, but Leonard and others encouraged me to expand my repertoire as a singer beyond my own songs and this EP is the result. It's been a liberating experience."
The EP was recorded live in studio at f.Boo Music in Los Angeles. The songs are interpretations of Otis Redding's "Dock of The Bay", Eric Claptons' "Change The World", Bruce Hornsby's, "The Way it is", and Tom Waits' dark ode to the struggle between good and evil, "Way Down in The Hole", well known as the theme from HBO's, "The Wire".

Reverand Goat Carson's new CD "Jamestown to Jonestown," produced by Keven Brennan, released on October 20th, 2011 in New York City at the Gershwin Hotel. The release show was paired with "Three Carsons out of Texas" which brought the three Carson brothers (Rev. Goat, Neke Carson and L.M. Kit Carson) together for the first time in years.

We contiue to celebrate the release of Big Chief Monk Boudreaux's "Won't Bow Down."
The New Orleans Mardi Gras Indian phenomenon is part music, part
heritage, part ancestry, part revelry, part fashion, and oft misunderstood.
Big Chief Monk Boudreaux is one of the most famous and enduring leaders
of that culture and head of the Golden Eagle Mardi Gras Indian tribe.
"Won't Bow Down" is guided by Monk's adventurous spirit and love for varied musical styles. Originally released as a single, but now on the album, "Monk's Mardi Gras" features the rhythm section of Orgone with Dr. John on piano, and takes us through Monk's history as an Indian, from childhood to Big Chief. "Footsteps" is "the best song about cooking I've ever heard," says Monk's producer, Keven Brennan. "I was sitting in his kitchen while Monk was cooking, and he was telling me how he's been preparing game like raccoon and gator since he was a kid, "taking it home and cooking it for my mother and family."
This project features Dr. John (piano), Jim Keltner (drums), Papa Mali (guitar), Orgone, and Monk's son Joseph Boudreaux Jr., just to name a few.

With the completion of several infrastructure projects in Oregon, the fire department will no longer be using its sirens, a relief for residents living near the city's three fire stations.
The stations - at Bay Shore Road, Wynn and Seaman, and on Wheeling Street near I-280, have not used the sirens in years, said Mayor Mike Seferian.
City council is considering repealing an ordinance passed last year that requires registration of contractors and tradesman doing work in the city.
The purpose of registration, which includes a fee, is to collect income taxes from contractors doing work in the city. Registration would also ensure that contractors are licensed, have insurance and are reliable. A registration list also becomes a standard by which homeowners can decide on who to hire.
Oregon Councilman James Seaman, who is running for Lucas County Recorder, is proposing that the Recorder's and Auditor's offices share services as a "one stop shop."
The shared services arrangement, he said, would help ease the burden of taxpayers.
For new Northwood Fire Chief Joel Whitmore, becoming a firefighter, much less a fire chief, has been a lifelong dream come true.
"It was always something I wanted to do, even as a kid," Whitmore said. "I just always thought it would be cool to be a fireman. I joined the fire department when I graduated from Northwood High School in 1988."

1st stitch is M1 - how to do?

Since the pattern says :
*M1, k1, rep from * - 24 sts.
I'd use a backward loop for the first M1 (In the videos on this site it is called a M1A and is the first increase on the increase video), then go to the M1 your pattern described for the others that are between stitches.
To make the M1A at the beginning of the row here is how I would describe it: Put the needle in your right hand so that you are looking at the back side of the work, now fold the working yarn back on itself so that it forms a cursive "e". There are two ways the "e" loop could be formed, they will both work, but if you do it so that the strand of yarn running back to the needle is on top, it will make the nicest appearance on the right side. Then put the needle in your left hand and knit that new loop, and continue on.
It is no big deal how you do it for something like a Christmas ornament. The Kfb that Sue mentioned will work too, I just think this looks a tad better.
A Kfb is a very standard increase, I just don't happen to like the looks of it most of the time (once in a while it is just the ticket). Sue did mention the backward loop too. So two votes.

Aberdeen winger Jonny Hayes is determined to force his way back into manager Craig Brown's plans but believes he is battling for a place in one of the strongest sides in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League.
The Irishman has been forced to settle for substitute appearances in the last two outings against Kilmarnock and Dundee United after recovering from injury.
The form of Ryan Fraser has made competition even stiffer but Hayes accepts he must bide his time and make an impact when the opportunity arises.
He said: "I knew after missing a game I wouldn't come straight back in. The team won two games on the bounce.
"It is a little bit frustrating but you can't do anything. You can't argue with the gaffer, he's picking a team and the team are performing.
"The team are doing well and I'm happy from that point of view.
"We have one of the best squads in the SPL, without a doubt. You only have to look at the strength of our bench most weeks.
"All players have to understand you can't just walk into the team.
"You have to bide your time and work harder off the pitch, in training, and in the gym and wait for your opportunity.
"When you get a chance you have to take it."

Search Santa Cruz CA Real Estate
Your Home at the Beach
Santa Cruz County has been the beach destination of choice for northern and central California residents for generations. Nowhere else will you find the same combination of endless beaches, natural beauty, sunny microclimates, worldclass surfing, and gourmet food and wine.
The housing stock is as diverse as the county's neighborhoods. From the majestic westside of Santa Cruz to the playful beaches of Seabright and Capitola to Aptos' miles-long beach stretching from Seacliff to Pajaro Dunes — you'll find hundred-year-old cottages along with multi-million-dollar modern homes, and everything in between.
Santa Cruz Beach Homes
Looking for a beach home? In addition to the standard Santa Cruz MLS search, I publish a weekly list of new and reduced-price beach home listings located near the ocean throughout the county. Recipients also receive access to my coastal "hotsheets," a complete list of coastal homes for sale.
Santa Cruz County MLS
Searching for a property in Santa Cruz? You can search the entire inventory of Santa Cruz homes for sale on this site. In addition to searching for beach homes, you can search by ocean view, bank-owned properties, short sales, and more. However, most of the short sales and bank-owned properties are located inland; the coastal neighborhoods tend not to include many distressed sales.

Finally, they stopped paying altogether. She delivered candy in January, 2006, and they sold several hundred dollars worth. By September, they still had not paid.
We finally filed a Magistrate's claim, which they did not contest, but they still refused to pay. They eventually offered us the $736.84 they owed us for product sold, but refused to pay the $105 court costs.
We obtained a judgment, and forced them to pay. But they wiggled out of interest, etc.
They are such deadbeats that we were just happy to get the invoices paid and the court costs (filing fees) reimbursed.

What can happen when you go away for an adult weekend
So it was supposed to be just a fun little jaunt to Copenhagen. Just a short little anniversary getaway with some friends who got married the same month we did. No pressure, no stress. Drop the daughter off at granny's, catch the plane the next day, sleep in, walk 'round, have afternoon drinks, eat well. Perhaps some adult situations. And it was that. Copenhagen is an incredibly liveable city. On Sunday, the sun...

What is HGH?
HGH is a hormone that is generated in the pituitary glands of the human body. This pituitary gland is situated at the back of the brain. From there the gland creates and later on secretes the human growth hormone. When the human growth hormone is secreted out by the pituitary gland, it is diffused in the body. Even though the diffusion takes spot, the human growth hormone tends to make its way to just about every single organ in the body. There it commences its functions and carry out its tasks. Before you buy HGH supplements, read this article as it will give you some tips on how to select the best one.
What are the functions of HGH?
HGH that is the human growth hormone has lots of functions and so it is quite important. The primary function is that of the stimulation of the growth of the human boy and it is from his function that it will get its identify. Then there are lots of other functions too like, preserving away the signs of aging and all the components of it. It also helps in energizing the body really usually and then it also improve muscle mass. It also helps in acquiring a superior intercourse drive. It also helps in strengthening the cells of the body that are newly formed but are too weak to survive on their own.
Why is there a have to have of HGH supplement?
As the time passes by and we grow previous, our pituitary gland progressively slows down the manufacturing level of human growth hormone and at one time it stops the manufacturing fully. At this time, we have to have the HGH supplement for the reason that we have to have human growth hormone to execute the function with efficiency.
What really should be the best HGH supplement like?
The best HGH supplement really should be able to give the man or woman the rewards of human growth hormone. It really should be made of normal ingredients as only nature can replace nature. Any synthetic products can build even more harm to you. Synthetic products have lots of side results and they are quite expensive too. Synthetic products generally come in injectable supplements and so they are agonizing too.
The best HGH supplement really should be straightforward to use and carry. It really should not be a dilemma to use it anyplace else than residence. It really should not bind you in residence. This truly takes place in the case of creams as creams usually bound you to a spot until they are finished with their work and so it will get irritating as you can not get out of the residence even if in have to have.
It should also be helpful. All the products say they are helpful but they depart you with some time. See which item truly provides you immediate effectiveness and rewards. the best HGH supplement really should be able to not only console you with its capabilities, but also really should be able to give and present you the rewards of human growth hormone fully.
It would be smart to go for HGH supplement evaluations 1st and then to make up your mind for any item.
Human growth hormone is a naturally happening substance in the body, the amounts of which decrease as we age. So we have to have best hgh supplement to keep fit and active in our life.

"Revolution" Ends, "TMNT/Batman:TAS" Begins in IDW's November 2016 Solicitations
Comic Books
Dark Horse will release Makoto Yukimura's acclaimed hard sci-fi manga Planetes in an omnibus format, debuting in December. The listing was spotted on Amazon by Brian Ruh, and then confirmed by Anime News Network.
The series centers on the crew of the Toy Box, orbital debris collectors tasked with snaring and disposing of any "trash" — from screws to old satellites — that could possibly damage or destroy space stations and spacecraft. Both the manga and its anime adaptation won prestigious Seiun Awards for speculative fiction.
Tokyopop previously licensed Planetes in North America, and published all four volumes between 2003 and 2005.
Blade of the Immortal, Hiroaki Samura's samurai tale, reaches the end of its long run this week with the publication of Volume 31. Dark Horse began publishing the series in 1996, at a time when manga was not only flipped but chopped into single-issue comics. The world has changed a lot since then, and so has Blade. Samura spent almost 20 years writing and drawing the series, and his storytelling style evolved quite a bit over the years.
Samura's superb art belies the startling violence of his story: Manji, a renegade samurai, cannot die because his body harbors bloodworms that heal every wound. To shake the curse of immortality, he must kill 1,000 evil men. This task gains focus when he teams with Rin, the daughter of a dojo master whose father was slain in front of her; she seeks not only to avenge his death but also to stop his killers from slaughtering the members of the other dojos to consolidate the power of their own school of fighting, Ittō-ryū. Samura fills the pages with baroque villains and and elaborate weapons of his own invention. The early volumes have a punk feel to them, but eventually he settles into a more traditional style.

Passings | Michael Cavna remembers cartoonist Jim Berry, who died Friday at age 83: "Berry's World, the syndicated single-panel feature that he drew for 40 years, beginning in 1963, was a remarkably steady stream of thoughtful observational humor that — like the unfussy art itself — rarely seemed to strain for the laugh. Each gag, as steady as a top golfer's approach shots, just 'landed.' Precision meets concision." [Comic Riffs]
Conventions | Ace Parking, which manages parking at the San Diego Convention Center and six other nearby lots, will move to a lottery system this year to assign permits for Comic-Con International (those lots are Hilton Garage, Petco Lots, Padres Parkade, Diamond View Tower, Horton Plaza and Gaslamp City Square). For a shot at one of those spaces, you have to email Ace Parking by April 12. A drawing will be held on April 15, with the winners receiving information about how to purchase permits for their assigned location. See the full details on the Ace Parking website.

Dark Horse has provided ROBOT 6 with an exclusive first look at three limited-edition variant covers produced for the upcoming Emerald City Comicon: Lady Killer #1 by Joëlle Jones, Past Aways #1 by Scott Kolins, and Fire and Stone: Prometheus—Omega #1 by Patric Reynolds.
Limited to just 500 copies, each variant will available for $5 throughout the show, while supplies last, at the Dark Horse booth (#802). There will also be an ECCC variant for Frankenstein Underground, the new miniseries by Mike Mignola, Ben Stenbeck and Dave Stewart.
Manga | Dark Horse has announced the September release of Astro Boy Omnibus Volume 1, an oversized collection featuring nearly 700 pages of Osamu Tezuka's most popular creation, billed as the first in a series. The news follows the recent announcement of the publisher's oversized editions of The Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service. [Dark Horse]
Publishing | David Carter takes a hard look at Vertigo as part of his analysis of DC Comics' December sales. He notes that most of the series are selling poorly (under — often well under — 15,000 copies) and speculates that the reason may be that creators, even those who do work for DC, are taking their creator-owned books to Image Comics. He also thinks Vertigo's trade policy isn't working, as releasing the trades early and pricing the first one low encourages readers to skip the monthly comics — but then there's a high probability they will forget about a new series altogether. [The Beat]
Though they're remaining committed to a recent wave of new creator-owned books, Dark Horse has shifted its sales strategy for a trio of lower performing series.
The publisher announced this week that The Ghost Fleet from Donny Cates and Daniel Warren Johnson, Resurrectionists by Fred Van Lente and Maurizio Rosenzweig and Sundowners by Tim Seeley and Jim Terry would all shift their monthly comic output to digital first series. Plans for print graphic novels collecting the continued stories remain in place for the fall.
Last weekend, Todd Allen wrote at The Beat that he had spotted some Dark Horse comics on the newsstand at Books-A-Million, now the second-largest bookstore chain in the country. That piqued my interest, as newsstand sales have proved to be a challenge for most comics publishers for decades now, so I got in touch with Matt Parkinson, Dark Horse's vice president of marketing, who answered some questions about the company's newsstand sales at Books-A-Million and its used-book subsidiary 2nd & Charles.
Robot 6: First of all, what has Dark Horse's newsstand presence been like in recent years?
Matt Parkinson: Since the early '90s, Dark Horse had placed titles on the newsstand through various distributors. In recent years we only enjoyed strong sales if the comic had a blockbuster movie tied to it or some major media component. Ultimately, due to the reduction of available display space and the resulting decline in sales, we discontinued all newsstand distribution in fall 2014. We would consider returning to newsstand distribution if a title demonstrated mass-market appeal.
Dark Horse Comics is celebrating Hellboy's 21st birthday with a beer — specifically, the Right Hand of Doom Red Ale, a limited edition release from Oregon-based Rogue Ales.
Though available nationally at Rogue.com, the Right Hand of Doom debuts in Portland at the Things From Another World Comics store, where Hellboy creator Mike Mignola will be signing books alongside Matt Kindt (Mind MGMT), Eric Powell (The Goon) and Brian Wood (Rebels) on Friday, Feb. 20.
This week brought some great news for fans of Stan Sakai's long-eared ronin — Dark Horse announced that the ongoing Usagi Yojimbo will return this May.
While it's been three years since we last saw an issue of the Usagi Yojimbo regular series, neither Sakai nor Usagi haven't been absent from comic shelves. During that time Dark Horse released the Eisner-nominated 47 Ronin, by Sakai and writer Mike Richardson. And last year brought the War of the Worlds-inspired Usagi Yojimbo: Senso miniseries, a "What if?"-like tale that saw an older Usagi battling an alien invasion.
Next month Dark Horse will release a collected edition of Murder Book by writer Ed Brisson and a variety of artists — Declan Shalvey, Simon Roy and Johnnie Christmas, among them — with a new cover by Michael Walsh (based in part on one of his designs for a previously released volume of Murder Book stories).
Dark Horse's Associate Editor Jim Gibbons was kind enough to share with ROBOT 6 some of the cover process for the new Murder Book trade paperback, due out March 18.
Brothers Fábio Moon and Gabriel Bá have finally pulled back the curtain on the follow-up to their award-winning Daytripper collaboration: Two Brothers, due in October from Dark Horse.
An adaptation of the novel The Brothers by Brazilian author Milton Hatoum, the graphic novel centers on a strained family relationship.
Dark Horse is expanding its omnibus line with oversized new collections of The Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service.
Created by Eiji Ōtsuka and Housui Yamazaki, the frequently gory horror manga centers on five young graduates of a Buddhist college, each with a special skill — dowsing, embalming, channeling an alien intelligence, etc. — who form a company devoted to delivering the dead to where they need to go to move on to their next reincarnations. It's not pleasant or easy work, and it doesn't always pay, but it beats a 9-to-5 job.
Legal | A 16-year-old in Nantes, France, was arrested last week for posting a cartoon on Facebook that mocks the Charlie Hebdo killings; the charge is "advocating terrorism." The cartoon shows someone holding a copy of Charlie Hebdo and being struck by bullets. Electronic Intifada posts what is most likely the offending cartoon (it had been shared widely on social media), a takeoff on one of the more notorious Charlie Hebdo covers, accompanied by the text, "Charlie Hebdo is shit. It doesn't stop bullets." The original cover featured a cartoon of an Egyptian protestor holding the Koran, with text that read, "The Quran is shit, it doesn't stop bullets." [France 3]
Publishing | Sales were down in 2014 for Diamond Book Distributors, even though the industry overall had an up year. The reason: DBD lost a key client, Dark Horse, to Random House. Nonetheless, Vice President Kuo-Yu Liang sees good things in store for 2015, including strong sales of indie graphic novels, expanding international sales, and the much-anticipated March: Book Two, which was released this week. [Publishers Weekly]
I made no bones when I first wrote about the Joëlle Jones/Jamie S. Rich Lady Killer five-issue miniseries would be a must read, given the fact that award-winning veteran colorist Laura Allred would be gracing Jones' art. While going into the first issue with elevated hopes, amazingly enough the Jones/Allred artistic team exceeded all of my heightened expectations.

Agent's Account in King Slaying Is a 'Fabrication,' the F.B.I. Says
A former F.B.I. agent's contention that he found evidence supporting James Earl Ray's claim of a frame-up in the assassination of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is a ''total fabrication,'' a spokesman for the Federal Bureau of Investigation said today. The former agent, Donald Wilson, maintained at a news conference in Atlanta on Tuesday that he discovered the evidence -- two slips of paper -- in an F.B.I. search of Mr. Ray's car on April 10, 1968, six days after Dr. King had been killed by a sniper here in Memphis.

Hey all,
New here, sorry if I'm doing this wrong.
I searched for something that suits my needs, no luck yet.
I'm looking for a plugin so that I can access email on my site (not on the admin panel/dashboard).
My site is for a firm, and I'd like the partners to be able to go to a certain URL on the site where they can enter their email and password and access their email that way (instead of entering the URL of our email client every time).
Basically I'm looking for a plugin that enables an email client on a page of my website.
What would be even better is some sort of intranet-type-thing, where the partners could also share files with each other as well as read/write emails.
Any suggestions?

I'm a lifelong knitter, from a family of knitters, gardeners, seamstresses, and sailors (yes, even the men!) - who also happen to be doctors, scientists, priests, and businesspeople (yes, even the women!). I like to design baby blankets, accessories for children, adults, and the home, and garments for children and adults. You can find my patterns through my indie line here on Craftsy or in a variety of print and online magazines and books. I happily work with local yarn stores, crafters, and indie dyers: please contact me to start a conversation about how we can support each other!
I'm a certified knitting teacher, accomplished technical editor for knitting patterns, and in my daily life am an academic science librarian.
While on vacation I found some just fabulous yarnit had a beautiful base color with flecks of all the different colors I love, and love to wear. This would go with everything in my wardrobe! As an added benefit, it was a cotton blend that would be all-seasonal in my warm climate.
And then I got home.
What the heck does one do with such an interesting yarn? You can't work cables or lace, because the texture of the yarn will overpower the texture of the stitches. I didn't have enough for a tank top, and anyway it's not really right for that... and then I though about playing with shawl shaping.
This shawl has three trapezoidal panels connected with what are called "spines" when used in a triangular shawl. The cast on edge leaves space for your neck and allows the shawl to wrap nicely around the shoulders, leaving one corner and point to drape over both the front and the back. The stitch used is a reversible welting, and the increases are invisible and flexible (see below). The shape and stitch are both strong and friendlya great pairing for a challenging yarn or when you just want a quick, easy knit.
This pattern is one of those that is a lot more complicated looking than it is to work. The stitch is based on the reversible "4+1" welting, in which you work four rows in knit then one row in purl. The extra trick here is that you will work a two-row increase that results in a relatively invisible but also nicely loose increase. On the "RS" row you will work a yarnover, and then on the following row you'll either knit or purl it through the back loop so that it is twisted and doesn't show a big hole. Like the big hole? Just knit or purl it normally!
13 stitches and 31 rows to 4in [10cm] in 4+1 welting stitch

Malaysian Activists Still Worry Over Country's Security Laws

Malaysia's new Security Offences Bill presented to the country's Parliament Tuesday has been seven months in the making, ever since Prime Minister Najib Razak announced he would scrap the country's much-hated Internal Security Act (ISA) back in September.
But activists who have spent their lives campaigning against the country's feared laws – which once allowed for indefinite detention without trial – say the new laws are not going far enough to guarantee protections for political dissidents.
The 52-year-old ISA, a remnant from the era of British colonial rule designed to combat the Communist threat, was used by Malaysia's government to detain political opponents without trial. Some of the country's most famed opposition politicians – including opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim – have felt the sting of the old laws, which allowed for indefinite detention even in the absence of a political charge.
Introducing the bill, Mr. Najib labeled it a "careful balancing act and the result of months of close consideration and hard work," and said it was a "historic day" for the country.
The new laws, in contrast, have explicit provisions that no person will be arrested under the bill "solely for his political belief or political activity." Detention without trial is still allowed, though limited for a period of twenty-eight days and "only for purposes to active investigation" before the case has to be heard by a court or the suspect released – a provision that still upsets activists who have campaigned against the laws.
Any provision for detention without trial is "still a violation against fundamental liberties," said Nalini Elumalai, executive director of Malaysian human rights group SUARAM and a long-time campaigner against the ISA. Her group and other organizations, many of whom have spend decades campaigning and researching the issue of security and detention laws, have accused the government of failing to consult them in drafting the new laws.
"They should have talked to civil society first," said Ms. Nalini.
Though acknowledging that the new laws represented significant progress and was an "important step forward" in Malaysia's once-draconian legal system, Phil Robertson, deputy director of Human Right Watch's Asia Division, said it was a "mixed bag" and also criticized the lack of consultation in the country's lawmaking process.
"This is a flaw in Malaysia's lawmaking process – what I'd call "pull a rabbit out of the hat" lawmaking," said Mr. Robertson. Many campaigners were unaware of the specifics within the law even after it was presented in Parliament
Though the ISA has a specially-detested place in Malaysia's history, used substantially under the strict rule of former Prime Minister Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, other political dissidents are worried about the country's Sedition Act which has increasingly been used to detain protestors and activists. The act criminalizes speech with "seditious tendency" which includes speech that would excite disaffection against the government or bring hostility between different races in the ethnically-fragmented country.
Local media reported yesterday that Prime Minister Najib Razak had no intention of repealing the Sedition Act, saying it would "still relevant to safeguard national security and harmony."
"[The new laws] are far from sufficient, since the Sedition Act is still out there," said Wong Chin Huat, a member of the Coalition for Free and Fair Elections, also known as Bersih. The group has planned a rally calling for greater electoral transparency at the end of this month. Mr. Wong was detained for three days under the Sedition Act back in 2009, after Bersih launched the 1BlackMalaysia campaign, encouraging people to wear black in an act of civil disobedience against a the government's handling of a constitutional crisis in the state of Perak.
"It is a half-hearted measure… to win votes," Mr. Wong added.

Superior Benefits program is fraudulent and misleading. After the initial phone call I was expecting a Visa card with in 15 to 20 days after they basically stole my $299.00 from my bank account. This was Dec.17, 2003
I called and was told that I was to receive a package first, which didn't arrive for five weeks. I called again and was told that I would be receiving a form from the bank in a week which once was returned I would get the Visa card.
After the week was up I called again and was told that the bank had sent out the form that day. This was Feb. 6,2004.
Another week passed so once again I called and demanded to speak to the person in charge. He made excuses for all of the delays and said that I would be receiving the bank form around Feb. 27, 2004. Never arrived.
When I attempted to phone again there was no answer.This continued for three days and then I found this site. And surprize,surprize- Who was the first company complaint against? You guessed it, Superior Benefits!
I have been financially and emotionally devastated by this so called company. I want my money back and for the ripoff artists to be promptly exposed and properly reprimanded!

Alexandra Morton charges Marine Harvest with illegal possession of wild salmon
Sep 16th, 2009
Alexandra Morton charges Marine Harvest with illegal possession of wild salmon
If government is not going to apply the laws of Canada to fish farms, it is up to the people to do so
(Port Hardy, September 16, 2009) Biologist Alexandra Morton laid charges under the federal Fisheries Act against fish farm giant Marine Harvest for illegal possession of wild juvenile salmon from an endangered stock.On June 16, 2009, hundreds of small salmon were seen spilling onto a dock in Port McNeill during a transfer of live Atlantic salmon brood stock from the fish farm vessel M.V. Orca Warrior into tanks on a truck. The vessel's registered owner is Marine Harvest.
"When I received photos of the incident minutes later," says Morton, "I was really surprised the fish lying on the road were young pink salmon, I could not understand what were they doing in Marine Harvest's boat."
"Marine Harvest emailed stating that the young wild salmon had come from the Potts Bay fish farm, just west of Glendale River in Knights Inlet," says Morton. "They were apparently in the pens and were scooped up with the Atlantic salmon. We have no idea how many pink salmon ended up going down the highway in the tanks on the truck."
When Morton took her boat to the Potts Bay fish farm she saw large schools of pink salmon leaping inside the pens. "While millions of tax payers dollars and environmental donations have been spent to protect the Glendale River pink salmon from fish farms, 2008 was the lowest return yet. These are the offspring from that generation and far from safe, they are right in the fish farm and in their packer," said Morton. Morton has published 15 scientific papers on juvenile pink salmon.
Morton's lawyer, Jeffery Jones corresponded with DFO for 6 weeks about this incident but the Department still has not taken any significant action.
"I have received many reports over the years of herring, black cod and wild salmon in farm pens. The escaped Atlantic salmon that fishermen bring me often have wild fish in their stomachs. Are Norwegian farm salmon fattening up on wild BC fish? What happens to the wild fish when the nets are pulled? What happened to the pink salmon that may have been in the truck? DFO often charges commercial and sport fishermen with illegal possession to protect wild fish, why won't they charge these Norwegian companies? " asks Morton.
Morton asks that anyone with information on wild fish in fish farms to contact her at www.adopt-a-fry.org 18,000 people and counting have signed a letter on this website saying the laws of Canada must be applied to fish farms.

And even without a front-runner, there are indications they will go into the conclave Tuesday with a good idea of their top picks. The conclave date was set Friday during a vote by the College of Cardinals, who have been me

I really didn't find it worth the time... there are lots of highly unlikely error conditions that are just not worth logging a message about. When I'm modifying that code again I'll look at putting back a check. > Also the kernel fix doesn't look quite right to me.

Errors from notify() are the point where this whole scheme (plocks from nfs) falls apart. There's nothing that can be done to recover from an error there, and the nfs people basically have to wait indefinitely for the notify to make sure it never causes an error. Logging the error is the best we can do. > I spotted this while looking at the code: > > struct plock_xop { > struct plock_op xop; > void *callback; > void *fl; > void *file; > struct file_lock flc; > }; > > and I can't see the need for void pointers here, why not just use the > correct types? It looks like this code could do with some cleanup, I don't know, it doesn't look like they need to be void. Marc Eshel <eshel almaden ibm com> is the one to ask, he added the support for nfs plocks.
