Despite the continuing federalization of Europe, there are still some issues which haven't been agreed upon across the whole EU. One of these is a standardized system for electric vehicle charging. Part of the issue is as simple as one standard type of plug, but it gets more complicated. EV owners obviously try to charge at home as much as possible, but when they need to use a charging station, they need to have an "energy provider" with whom they have an account and can charge with. This works a lot like a cell phone, except that right now, it's a cell phone that won't work if they leave their native country. Trips across boarders are quite common since the establishment of the EU, and an inability to use EVs for these trips is obviously a major stumbling block in the way of mass adoption.
To that end, the EU set up the Green eMotion Project, which is tasked with a wide variety of sustainability-related efforts in the area of transportation. Now IBM has joined up with them in order to help with the job of EV standardization. They have created a platform known as the B2B Marketplace which will be pushed by Green eMotion as the new European standard and will allow EV owners to charge anywhere in Europe regardless of their energy provider. Green eMotion will still have quite a long way to go if they expect to hit their goal of reducing carbon emissions in Europe by 60 percent by the year 2050, but this is still great news even in the short term for EV owners in the EU.

What I like about teaching you
I just love to get people excited about teaching. I love to get people excited about education and what educators can do, because we are the only force in this country that can change the face of what's actually happening. To get you excited and get you going and have you want to get out there and do it is so exciting to me that I have a hard time sitting still!
What makes my classes successful
My classes are really successful for all levels of students, and especially students who really want to learn more, because I teach through inquiry. Teaching through inquiry means that I don't know everything. I help you and guide you so that you will explore and find what is your strength and what area you really want to pursue.
Why UDM?
You should come to UDM because we are a one-on-one type of university. At UDM, we will pay close attention to you, and to you as an entire student, not just someone who comes and sits in class who we see once or twice a week. We will actually contact you, work with you individually and meet your needs.
I will be available to you
My availability to you is almost around-the-clock. Besides my office hours, you'll have my cell phone number and my e-mail. You can call me on a weekend, for example, because I understand that you might not be able to see me during my office hours. I'm expecting a lot out of you, so you should expect a lot out of me.
Expect a great job after UDM
I can promise you if you go into science education, you won't be unemployed. It is one of the few recession-proof jobs out there. Science education is a field that we are just begging for all over this country. If you come to UDM and go into science education, you will have a job.
We want great things for you
Science education is such an exciting field, and so much on the cutting edge, that you can go out there and you can make a real difference in our country and around the world. You can be a leader and you can make changes. You can be the one that is leading students to really solve the problem of global warming, really solve the problems of alternative energy. So we really want great things for you, and the way to get there is through science education.
You might like to know
You might like to know that I was named Michigan Virtual School's first-ever Online Teacher of the Year, which is really sort of a cool award because it has opened lots of doors for me. But it also gives me the opportunity to open a lot of doors for you.

For lovers of Historic Hotels
1000-year old culture and modern architecture exist side by side in the historic Säumerherberge, on the Cultural Trail the "Via Spluga". Awarded in 2002 for its gentle, historically authentic renovations. The visitor is quite authentically invited into different eras of history by the rooms, the lobby, the panoramic restaurant in the "hayloft", Gwölb Bar and the daytime restaurant. A feast for the connoisseur's eyes.
Certified by ICOMOS
Special distinction 2002
Distinguished "for the extremely careful restoration and historic preservation of an old mule-track inn, with only strictly necessary additions of contemporary architectural elements".
The Alte Herberge Weiss Kreuz was probably constructed as a tower in the early 14th century. The building sits on a rocky crag and still dominates the valley. It was destroyed during a fire in 1716 and rebuilt soon thereafter. With the expansion of the pass roads from 1818 to 1823, the situation changed for the inn: the village square suddenly became a more convenient location for the coaches and the Weisse Kreuz lost its importance, sinking into slow decline. When renovations started in 2000, all of its components were still largely intact and the most visible intervention was only the glazing of the barn infill. The interior shows very disciplined handling of the existing structure. All access areas and the entire woodwork were kept in their original form, and the rooms were furnished individually in accordance with the findings of research that was carried out beforehand.

What do you think of using boat tail hollow points for deer hunting in a 308? I was thinking of using the 168 grain bullets.

February 17, 2013, 07:08 PM
Which bullet are you talking about exactly?
February 17, 2013, 07:10 PM
If they are match bullets then I wouldn't because they most likely will not expand and will perform no differently than a FMJ. If they are designed for expansion and hunting large game then they should be fine.
February 17, 2013, 08:11 PM
I am not a big fan of BT bullets for hunting, unless they are bonded core, partition, or otherwise core-locked somehow.
Otherwise, the boat tail jacket acts just like a Jacobs chuck in a drill press.
One whack to loosen it from the taper friction fit, and the tool falls out.
The same will happen to the lead core of a boat-tail bullet when it hits a game animal and starts to mushroom.
IOW: Core / jacket separation.
February 17, 2013, 10:21 PM
All bullets are designed to work a certain way. Any can be effective if used properly. You have described many match bullets designed for target shooting. I know some have used them for hunting successfuly. I'm not willing to take that chance. The Berger Hunting bullet is the exception. It is basically what you have described, but with a thinner jacket to expand quickly.
Partitions, Accubonds, an Barnes TTSX bullets are designed to penetrate. They do a good job at that, but expansion is not as good as with some others. They kill game just fine, but you don't get the drop in their tracks reaction as often.
I have no problem with BT bullets such as Hornady SST's, Nosler Ballistic Tips or Berger Hunting bullets as long as the shooter understands how they work. They tend to give fairly shallow penetration, but explosive expansion. As long as you put one in the lungs they will drop game very quickly. FWIW, I'd use the 168 Berger hunting bullet, not the match bullets in my 308. They are not the bullet you want for shooting fleeing game in the butt. Or for shooting larger game. These are what the Partitions, Accubonds, and TTSX bullets are designed for.
Choose the right bullet for the job and use it correctly and they all work

After a bunch of years of messing with all sorts of 30-caliber bullets, I figure that in a .308, any 150-grain flat-base which gives decent groups around one MOA will do just fine to 400 yards, easily.
HPBTs can easily make more mess than was intended. Not always, of course, but it sometimes turns out to be Yuck City. :)
February 18, 2013, 04:44 AM
Which bullet are you talking about exactly?
That is the question.
As some posters have mentioned, some BTHP bullets act more like solids; not that that's an always bad thing. Berger makes BTHP bullets specifically for hunting and I can attest that they work well. Some Barnes TSX bullets are also of BTHP design; no problem there either. Also, all those pretty bullets with the plastic tips are essentially of hollow point design. For those who think the plastic tip does more than make them pretty, protect the bullet tip or provide a slightly better ballistic shape, think again.
If the desire for a BTHP design is for better perceived long range performance, I would say don't bother unless ranges are expected to be 500+ yards.
February 18, 2013, 06:46 PM
Most 168 lead core bullets are match bullets.The 165's are usually the game bullets.Be sure you use bullets designed for the task at hand. I spent several hours tracking a deer hit twice through the lungs with a 168 hpbt a few years back.I needed to finish the deer after finding it.The wounds were all the same size,entrance,and exit.Doesn't' t matter how good the load groups if the bullet won't do the job when it gets there.
February 18, 2013, 07:07 PM
Serria BTHP aka Match Kings. NO, does not expand or yaw reliably at all.
Berger VLDs. YES but only the Hunting version
Barnes TSX. HELL YEAH Awsome terminal performance.
Nosler Custom Competition. No idea never used them. Would not chance it, they were not designed for that.
Hornady Match. Also no idea.
February 18, 2013, 08:59 PM
Most, if not all, states require expanding ammunition for hunting. If your choice is, for example, between Sierra Match KIng v Sierra Game King, choose the SGK for hunting, SMK for competition. Unless you really like tracking deer wounded by a clean pass-thru instead of walking up to an animal killed by significant trauma from a well-built game bullet.
February 18, 2013, 09:19 PM
Pass through or blow up, I have seen SMKs do both (not of my shooting) if they do yaw the thin jacket comes apart and you have a fragmentation device, if it blows up in the vitals it can make for a quick kill but that requires a healthy dose of luck and is not even remotely reliable from what I have seen, should that yaw happen early on that explosion will never reach the vitals and all you have done is make a really nasty flesh wound. If they don't yaw or yaw late you get a clean pass through and a fatally wounded animal you will be tracking for miles. Far too unreliable for my liking, I'll stick with the Game Kings they are remarkably reliable and effective, in fact too effective for these southern whitetail out of a 30-06.
February 18, 2013, 10:23 PM
Interestingly, solids are used for the biggest animals in the world; why?
Some hunters use muzzleloader and shotgun projectiles that don't expand.
Arrows don't expand.
It's also interesting that some admantly want good penetration of a bullet while others want great expansion and a bullet that expands inside the animal, does't expand and doesn't pass through. Fortunately, there is a plethora of bullet designs that should be able to satisfy both parties.
February 18, 2013, 11:43 PM
Yes monolithic solids designed to create serious damage without expanding, you cannot compare the terminal damage from a large caliber flat nose solid to a 7mm pointy boat tail spritzer, night and day difference. Don't you think that if DU tipped armor piercing rounds made for as much trauma hunters would have been using them a long time ago? Large caliber solids are a whole different game, I can try to track down some of the studies I have read if you are interested.
BTW I have arrow heads that expand, they are called mechanical broad heads you can get them at Wal-Mart :)
February 19, 2013, 08:22 AM
Thanks for the thoughts guys. I guess I have been kinda in search of a bullet that will be good for everything; hunting, punching paper, etc. I think I am going to go the other way and just get soft points or some sort of hunting ammo. I like the Remington Core Lokt and had two quick kills with them this year. Seem like they are reasonably priced as well.
Actually, once this ammo hysteria dies back down I plan to get several hunting rounds in the ~165 grain range and see which prints the best and then start "accumulating" that.
At the moment any 308 that is reasonably priced seems difficult.

Let me point out that not all monolithic solids are flat nosed and there is no requirement for hunting dangerous game that they be flat nosed. The reason they are used is for their better penetration. So, in some applications, using a solid in a small bore cartridge would be best. Granted, am expanding bullet creates more trauma and should kill faster provided it reaches vital organs.
I know about mechanical broadheads by the way but as far as I know there is no State where bow hunting is allowed where there is a requirement to use them. In addition, I would wager that any solid bullet out of a centerfire rifle or handgun will cause as much if not more trauma than a broadhead.
I believe that Remington Core-Lokts are a greatly under appreciated bullet. I use them in a 270 Winchester with excellent results both in accuracy and knock down ability. Of the 3 deer I've taken with them, 2 were DRT and the other only went maybe 10 feet but there wasn't bullet pass through which would be a problem for some.

A friend has hunted with Sierra BT Game Kings, not Match Kings, for years.
He says the cores do separate from the jackets.
How does he know?
He digs them out of DEAD animals.
February 19, 2013, 11:01 AM
I shoot Nosler 150 BTs at 2800 fps. I don't have a problem with meat damage and I've penetrated ONE 8 point from butt to neck, probably 4 feet of deer, with an exit wound. Never recovered a bullet even from a hog. Folks tell me that the BT is too explosive for deer and should NEVER be used on a hog. I just laugh at 'em. They have been improved over the years, but I've been shootin' 'em for 15 years and not seen a problem with 'em. I like the BCs. :D
I shoot game kings in my .257 Roberts and my 7 mag. They ARE kinda explosive, especially at 3200 fps from the 7 mag, but I ain't had a deer walk away from one, yet.
February 19, 2013, 11:36 AM
Oh, dang, sorry, this thread is about hollow points. Well, the BT is a hollowpoint, just has a plastic tip stuffed in the point. :D
Most of the hollow points I've seen are for match, would not trust one to open up. Wolf markets a HP for the 7.62x39, worthless as a hunting round regardless of what they claim. I prefer soft points for hunting and in that caliber, affordable (read cheap), the 154 soft points work.
Were I the OP, I'd forget about HPs for hunting except in .22LR for rabbits.
February 20, 2013, 01:50 PM
Were I the OP, I'd forget about HPs for hunting except in .22LR for rabbits.
What is wrong with Barnes and Sierra HP bullets? I don't ever hear anyone knowledgeable bad talking them ever, heck I use them. Had good luck with a few poly tips too, not going to say they best my Game Kings, but I would never hesitate to use a 6.5mm Ballistic Tip for deer again, impressive performance to say the least.
February 20, 2013, 02:17 PM
The 168s he's talking about, I just figured Sierra since it's a common match bullet, I've never seen 'em in a game bullet, only the Match Kings. The Game King is a soft point boat tail with similar BCs and I shoot them in two of my rifles. They works great. :D If it's made for shooting game, they probably work. If it's made for match, no.
Barnes, sure, I've used 140 Barnes on hogs, work great. That's what they're designed for, expansion to the end of the hollow cavity, then it stops. It's an all copper bullet unlike the Match Kings I think the OP is referring to, whole nuther animal.
I shoot a 150 Game King in 7mm. I have 150 Match Kings in 7mm I used to shoot in IHMSA from a 7mmTCU. Two completely different bullets with different purposes. The Match Kings are tack drivers, but I would doubt they'd expand. The hollow in the point is only there to reduce weight at the front of the bullet, gives it better balance and, thus, accuracy. When we're talking bench rest, 0.01 MOA could mean a win or a loss.
February 20, 2013, 05:57 PM
Oh OK I thought you meant any hollow point, in which case I would have to enthusiastically disagree, those Sierra Game King hollow points are devastating on game, maybe too much so. I only have them for my 30 cals but I know they make them for 6.5mm and 7mm as well.
I think we can all agree that match bullets belong on the range and not in the field. Some would try and make a case for the A-Max for 600+yd shooting because they expand at such low speeds, but most of us don't shoot game that far out, I sure don't.
February 20, 2013, 06:09 PM
I have shot several deer with 142gr 6.5mm Sierra Match kings and they all dropped in their tracks. Also shot a deer and several yotes with Hornady 75gr BTHP match and had the same results. As for the people saying these do not expand or perform like a FMJ, thats BS. These are thin jacketed bullets that will come apart hitting heavy bone. The bigger concern is Shot placement. The best bullet does no good when put in the guts of a deer. I shoot them in the neck and do not need to track them.
February 21, 2013, 05:57 AM
Notice the exit wound on this groundhog. It was hit with a 190 gr. Sierra Match King out of a 300 Win. Mag. Obviously no expansion; probably because there was no heavy bone to hit.
Notice the exit wound on this pronghorn antelope made with a 300 Weatherby and a 168 gr. Berger VLD. This happened in the days before there was a distinction between target VLDs and hunting VLDs. Another obvious case of no bullet expansion.
There was no exit wound on this deer shot with a 115 gr. Berger VLD out of a 25/06 because the bullet hit it in the rear and didn't exit the front of the chest. An obvious case of bullet failure.
Lloyd Smale
February 21, 2013, 06:36 AM
had a buddy who used to do crop damage shooting back before i ever did that used mostly a 300 win mag using 168 griain match bullets. He swore by the combination and killed many many deer with it. IF it wouldnt have worked well im sure he would have used something else.
February 21, 2013, 10:15 AM
Use what ya want. GAME King means it's built to expand reliably and predictably on GAME. MATCH Kings are designed to be accurate with NO consideration for shooting animals. Since they cost the same and GAME Kings are quite accurate in the guns I shoot 'em in (1/2 MOA in my .257 Roberts shooting a 100 grain Game King), why would I shoot a bullet not designed for hunting? I mean, does a deer rifle need to be better than 1/2" at 100 yards for 5 shots accurate? Really? That translates to 2" groups at 400 yards, my absolute limit even for a coyote and I would prefer closer 300 yards on deer in the interest of sufficient energy with the Roberts.
Use the bullet designed to work for the application. You're not saving money and you could lose meat with the Match Kings. It's a no brainer. It's simple logic! Why argue to use the wrong bullet. Would you pull your travel trailer with your Toyota Prius? Would you drive it down a 4x4 trail? It ain't made for that. Oh, it MIGHT work, then again.....
February 21, 2013, 10:58 AM
Theoretically 0.5 inches at 100 yards works out to 2 inches at 400 yards but if you actually did 400 yard shooting, you would know it's not always that way in real life. If you get 0.5 MOA out of your 257 Roberts I would say you're doing well and I wouldn't change anything either. Accuracy means a lot more to me than how a bullet is made or how fast it's going.
Do you believe everything a bullet manufacturer tells you? If you do, then U. S. snipers use the "wrong bullet" since they use Match Kings. Of course you may argue that they just want to wound and not to kill. Yea, right.
Art Eatman
February 21, 2013, 01:23 PM
According to H&H, the heavy, big-bore solids are intended as bone-breakers, as stoppers, so Mr. Great Big & Mean doesn't stomp on you. It's a whole different deal from our US hunting of deer and elk.
February 21, 2013, 03:40 PM
Do you believe everything a bullet manufacturer tells you? If you do, then U. S. snipers use the "wrong bullet" since they use Match Kings. Of course you may argue that they just want to wound and not to kill. Yea, right.
Uh? Military are limited by convention to NOT use expanding bullets. They use FMJ in all firearms for that reason. I reckon Match Kings, being basically a FMJ non-expanding bullet with a hollow cavity in the nose, is perhaps legal. This does prove to ME that Match Kings won't expand. Plus, the military wants armor penetration in as much as it can get that. They couldn't if they used "dum dum" bullets.
February 21, 2013, 03:44 PM
kind of hard to compare bullets for killing men and bullets for killing elk. two different anatomies.
February 21, 2013, 04:05 PM
kind of hard to compare bullets for killing men and bullets for killing elk. two different anatomies.
Yeah, and elk don't have access to kevlar vests and ceramic plates. :rolleyes:
February 21, 2013, 04:14 PM
would you want a bullet that expands when shooting a kevlar vest? How many Taliban are wearing Kevlar?
February 21, 2013, 04:31 PM
Taliban hide behind walls. The military has an emphasis on penetration of armor. Primarily, they cannot by international law use expanding bullets, so this tells me that if they are using match kings in any way, they're not expanding bullets.
I'm not going to lose a deer finding out, just sayin'. :D
February 21, 2013, 06:56 PM
I just purchased 1,000, Sierra .277 caliber, 140 grain, HPBT Gamekings, and 500 Sierra 130 grain SP Pro Hunter projectiles. I never have fired either of them in my .270 WIn, and so testing should be fun. Since projectiles of all sort seem more limited right now, I figured they couldn't be worse than nothing. Reviews on both are positive, but that's marketing, right? I still have a couple hundred Hornady 130 grain SSTs, and wow do they work great. Back to the point of HPs, I think it depends as much on construction for intended use as anything. Matchkings are for target.
About 3 or 4 years back, I mistakenly loaded some Sierra 168 HPBT Matchkings in my .300 Win Mag. The first couple of hits on a deer had zero effect. The next round hit the shoulder and shattered it. I suspect they either blew-up, or passed completely through uneffected. I didn't realize my mistake until I returned home and looked at the box. The 165 grain HPs, were in the wrong spot. My mistake was not checking my box of projectiles twice.
All that said, my uncle uses exclusively Sierra 168 grain HPBT Matchkings for deer in his .300 Wea Mag and his .30-378 Wea Mag, and he swears by them. I'd never use them for hunting again, not by intent. A HP, yes, a Matchking HP? No.
February 21, 2013, 08:06 PM
If those Sierras don't do right for you I could give them a happy home :D My 270 WSM loves the 130 SGKs into tiny little one ragged hole groups with a mild charge of 4350, only bullet that it shoots better then a ballistic tip.
February 21, 2013, 08:36 PM
Uh? Military are limited by convention to NOT use expanding bullets. They use FMJ in all firearms for that reason. I reckon Match Kings, being basically a FMJ non-expanding bullet with a hollow cavity in the nose, is perhaps legal. This does prove to ME that Match Kings won't expand. Plus, the military wants armor penetration in as much as it can get that. They couldn't if they used "dum dum" bullets.
Just curious, have you EVER seen a wound caused by a bullet that didn't expand or come apart (i.e., a solid)? In case you haven't, the hole in is about the same size as the hole out. Now take a look at the photos I posted. Do you think the hole in is the same size as the hole out?
It DOESN'T MATTER if the bullet expands, tumbles or comes apart. Tissue damage in each case is extensive with a high velocity projectile. Berger bullets which have similar construction to Sierra Match kings have been tested on all sorts of stuff including Red Deer (i.e., Elk by a different name) and were shown to be very effective.
In addition, the Geneva Convention does not mandate that FMJ bullets be used in all firearms; if it did our snipers wouldn't be shooting Match Kings.
February 21, 2013, 08:50 PM
I nearly lost an animal because of a too tough bullet from lack of expansion. It WAS a hunting bullet, but I think just too tough for the velocities at which I was driving it. Great shot, though, took his heart out. I didn't go more'n 75 yards, but I had to skin him to find the exit wound. I'll use what I know works and I won't touch a match king for hunting. Simple as that. You do what ya want. Me, i'll do the same.
I've been hunting deer for 50 years. Yeah, I've seen it all. And, I've heard they can't post anything that's not true on the internet. Call me a skeptic. I really don't see the point in shooting game with match bullets, anyway. I mean, there's so many good hunting bullets out there, WHY?
February 21, 2013, 10:57 PM
Mcgunner I was under the impression that the USA did not sign the Hague Convention act that banned expanding bullet, we just (normally) abide by it to play nice. The Army does in fact issue expanding HP bullets to MPs and for good reason.
February 21, 2013, 10:59 PM
MPs are law enforcement. Still, I was unaware they had JHPs. Back in the day, the standard .38 load for the Smith M&P (model 10) revolvers was a 130 grain FMJ. Never saw a .45 military round in a JHP. Never saw a 9mm military round in a JHP. But, I'm not in the military.
February 21, 2013, 11:29 PM
From Wiki... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hague_Conventions_of_1899_and_1907#Hague_Convention_of_1899
Hague Convention of 1899
Nicholas II
The peace conference was proposed on August 29, 1898 by Russian Tsar Nicholas II.[4] Nicholas and Count Mikhail Nikolayevich Muravyov, his foreign minister, were instrumental in initiating the conference. The conference opened on May 18, 1899, the Tsar's birthday. The convention was signed on July 29 of that year, and entered into force on September 4, 1900. The Hague Convention of 1899 consisted of four main sections and three additional declarations (the final main section is for some reason identical to the first additional declaration):
I: Pacific Settlement of International Disputes. This section included the creation of the Permanent Court of Arbitration.
II: Laws and Customs of War on Land
III: Adaptation to Maritime Warfare of Principles of Geneva Convention of 1864
IV: Prohibiting Launching of Projectiles and Explosives from Balloons
Declaration I: On the Launching of Projectiles and Explosives from Balloons
Declaration II: On the Use of Projectiles the Object of Which is the Diffusion of Asphyxiating or Deleterious Gases
Declaration III: On the Use of Bullets Which Expand or Flatten Easily in the Human Body
The main effect of the Convention was to ban the use of certain types of modern technology in war: bombing from the air, chemical warfare, and hollow point bullets.
I can't find where the US didn't sign it. I can't find a list of signatories on that page, though, either. My understanding is that we signed it and I know we abide by it. It also concerns the treatment of POWs, that sort of thing. We've always abided by that while most of our enemies in history didn't.
Note, I read through it and the "bombing from the air" that was forbidden was actually expressed in the treated as "bombing from balloons". Planes weren't invented until 1903. I guess that one was read literally. :D
Ooops, here's a list I found of signatories of the 1899 and 1907 conventions. You'll note the US signed BOTH agreements.
Art Eatman
February 22, 2013, 09:13 AM
The warfare deal is for bullets which do not expand. My understanding is that MatchKings don't expand. End of that story.
So, back to the topic of the thread, okay?
A reasonable generality is that BTHP hunting bullets do not have as heavy/strong a design as the flat-base of equal weight. For Sierra bullets, that's direct from a Sierra techie in a discussion at TFL some years back.
In the FWIW department, I found that a 180-grain Sierra SPBT makes a deeper dent in steel that a 165-grain Sierra HPBT. I would thus expect better penetration on a larger animal. Roughly equal sub-MOA group size.

Yep Match Kings (can) Yaw but they do not expand at the tip as the Berger VLD Hunting bullets do, look the same but very different construction. Seen SMKs shot into all kinds of stuff, phone books, water tanks, milk jugs....etc seen them dinged up all kinds of ways but never seen one mushroom.

quote: Should we use the force of government to prevent them from asking for it? I contend no.

quote: So if it becomes the norm to require that information, and most people are willing to give up that information... and you can't get a job that provides you with the living you need to support yourself and your family... is it OK to have a law like this then?

quote: People often simply are not in a position to refuse a job because they don't like the company's hiring process. Even if said applicant refuses the request and moves on, it's almost certain that someone else will come in and gladly consent in order to land the job because they *NEED* the job.
quote: I am Spuke, and I support this new law. :)
quote: Yeah I think it's acceptable that employers looks someone up on the Internet and take a look at your Facebook or whatever, but I draw the line at having to hand over passwords. That's just...no, too far.
quote: Hey while I'm at it why don't I just hand over my house keys! So, you know, you can come 'research' my home and see if my life matched up to your standards of employment?
quote: An employer might argue that there is a fine line between this and a standard background check. And he might have a point, but in my opinion this crosses that line. To make handing over private account information a term of employment? Hmm..no, I don't think so.
quote: I'm the first one to bash California when warranted, but I have no problem with the legislation here. This is the kind of thing laws are supposed to exist for.

Hoard's Dairyman Cow Judging 2013 - Red & White
You are missing some Flash content that should appear here! Perhaps your browser cannot display it, or maybe it did not initialize correctly.
I placed this great class of Red and Whites C B A D.
C tops the class fairly easy for me. C wins with the combination of her dairy strength and the fact that she has the best udder in the class. C has a higher and wider rear udder attachment than B. C is also longer from the tip of her nose to her tail. I also admire the depth of rib and the width and power that she possesses. I do admit B is a bit longer in the fore udder attachment.
Next, B goes over A because she is snugger in her fore udder attachment and also has a deeper suspensory ligament than A. B also has more width to rear udder, is more correct on her feet and legs, and has more width of pins than A. I grant that A is slightly cleaner throughout the neck.
In my final placing, A has more dairy strength than D. A also is smoother in her fore udder attachment and has less reverse tilt to the udder, noting the heavy front quarters on D. A is also stronger across the topline than D. A also has more width of chest in the front end and more depth of heart than D.
You admire the sharpness and angularity of D but would like to strengthen the fore udder attachment and see her stand on a more correct set of feet and legs to place her any higher in this class of Red and Whites.
Botkins, Ohio.
Topp placed the RED AND WHITES. Topp is a partner in his family's Topp-View farm which includes Brown Swiss and Holsteins and has had champions at World Dairy Expo, the North American International Livestock Exposition, the Ohio State Fair and the Ohio Spring Dairy Expo. Topp has judged the Eastern, Southern and Southeastern National Holstein Shows. He also has judged state shows in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Minnesota, Ohio and Wisconsin as well as numerous district and county fairs. Topp is a nutritionist for Maria Stein Grain. He and his wife, Mary, have two daughters.

The Inter-Mountain Publisher and General Manager Heather Goodwin Henline announces several changes to the paper's news gathering operation, including a new executive editor, managing editor and sports editor.
Matthew Burdette will succeed Linda Howell Skidmore as editor. Skidmore left The Inter-Mountain in September for a position at Davis & Elkins College.
"This is an exciting time at The Inter-Mountain, and I am very pleased to have someone with Matt's extensive experience at the helm of the newsroom," Goodwin Henline said.

Most recently, Burdette was director of commercial printing at The Inter-Mountain, but he has served in a variety of roles during his 21-year career with Ogden Newspapers. Prior to moving to Elkins, he served as city editor at The Journal in Martinsburg, and was news editor at The Parkersburg News and Sentinel for many years.
"I am extremely excited to return to my roots in the editorial department," Burdette said. "This newspaper has such a rich tradition of quality, community journalism, and I am truly overwhelmed and humbled by this amazing opportunity."
"I look forward to working with our award-winning news team, and to help build upon past success in both the newspaper's print and online editions. We intend to remain on the industry's cutting edge and to bring the people of Central West Virginia the most comprehensive, balanced coverage of local news, politics and sports."
Throughout his career in the newspaper business, Burdette has garnered several awards from the West Virginia Press Association for news and feature and column writing as well as many awards for graphic design and photography.
Burdette is a native of Williamstown and resides in Elkins with his brother, Mickey, a district sales manager in the circulation department at The Inter-Mountain. He attended Marshall University and West Virginia University at Parkersburg. He is a member of Saint Brendan's Catholic Church and has done volunteer work for several local nonprofit groups.
Also in the newsroom, veteran Inter-Mountain staffer Brad Johnson has been promoted. In his new capacity, he will serve as the paper's managing editor, directing its day-to-day operations.
Johnson grew up in Randolph County, attending Elkins High School and West Virginia University. He worked for The Inter-Mountain for eight years, then served five years as the editor of The South Hill Enterprise newspaper in South Hill, Va. He also worked as a reporter and copy desk supervisor for the Beckley Register-Herald. Johnson has won more than 30 awards from the West Virginia and Virginia press associations.
"I am honored to once again be working for The Inter-Mountain, a newspaper that has served the citizens of this region for more than a century," Johnson said. "We have a talented, hard-working staff, and we are committed to bringing our readers the best coverage of local news and sports."
Johnson and his wife, Jennifer, reside in Elkins.
Another veteran Inter-Mountain staffer, Joey Kittle, will move into the sports editor's role. Most recently, he served as the night editor at The Inter-Mountain.
Kittle attended Philip Barbour High School and Davis & Elkins College, where he was sports editor of The Senator. He has worked for Ogden Newspapers since 1992, serving as a sports writer and previously as sports editor. Kittle has won numerous awards from the West Virginia Press Association.
"I'm very excited to take over as sports editor of The Inter-Mountain," Kittle said. "I plan to work with the community in making our sports section one of the best in the state. Providing the best coverage of our area schools and teams is my goal as sports editor, and I look forward to the challenge."
"We are very fortunate to have such talented, professional journalists in Brad and Joey taking on leadership roles at The Inter-Mountain," Burdette said. "Along with our already strong staff, we all will strive to make this newspaper a true and invaluable part of this great community."
Goodwin Henline echoed those sentiments.
"I am delighted to see Brad and Joey moving into new leadership roles in our award-winning newsroom. Their breadth of experience adds so much to the team, and I look for our great coverage to improve through their work and leadership. The same is true with Matt, who continues a longstanding tradition of having a seasoned news veteran in the editor's office," Goodwin Henline said. "I am very proud of all three gentlemen and know how committed they are to the paper and to this community."
She cited the newsroom's open-door policy and how input from the community is welcome.
"This isn't our paper. It belongs to our readers. I know Matt and his team are looking forward to establishing a positive rapport with the community and welcome submissions from the public as well as reader participation," Goodwin Henline said.

on November 4, 2012 - 10:03 AM
To read Ian McEwan is to hold one's breath as his intoxicating prose rushes inexorably toward some (probably unwanted) unknown.
This was so in his last novel – the beautiful and moving "Atonement" – and it is so in his latest offering, the marvelously rendered "Sweet Tooth." Only this time one smiles, right from the novel's opening lines:
"My name is Serena Frome (rhymes with plume) and almost forty years ago I was sent on a secret mission for the British security service. I didn't return safely …"
Here again is deep deception, human guilt, human shame – and almost no one is the person he or she first seems. But here too are books as a prime focus. In fact, this is a book about books – and about the loving and reading and writing of books, as well as readers' often-diverse responses to books.
Serena, for starters, is enamored of books even though, as "Sweet Tooth" begins, she is finishing a degree in "maths" from England's time-honored Cambridge University:
"My needs were simple. I didn't bother much with themes or felicitous phrases and skipped fine descriptions of weather, landscapes and interiors. I wanted characters I could believe in, and I wanted to be made curious about what was to happen to them … Nor was I impressed by reputations. I read anything I saw lying around. Pulp fiction, great literature and everything in between – I gave them all the same rough treatment."
It is through a Cambridge boyfriend that Serena meets Tony Canning, a charismatic and celebrated history professor more than twice her age. His seduction of Serena is far more than that: He sees her as a prime candidate for undercover work with MI5, the British intelligence agency charged with national security, of which Canning is secretly a part.
Thus McEwan, a master plot-maker, sets "Sweet Tooth" in motion – against a backdrop of the Cold War in 1972. It is all heady stuff, inviting discussion of Serena's youth, beauty and smarts combined with a certain naïveté, as well as the myriad ways men and women use and deceive one another, and the levels of guilt this does or doesn't bring.
"Sweet Tooth" can also be read simply, as a riveting piece of espionage. Reader's choice – and Ewan's gift, either or both ways. What shines, as always, is McEwan's prose, so seamless that he can describe an entire bar fight in a single paragraph, and leave the reader exhausted.
The working premise is that Serena, under the guise of an assistant desk officer at the Department of Health and Social Security, is to offer a "suitable" young writer (one who has already shown a propensity for the UK's anti-Communist point of view) a cultural stipend from a respected foundation. An MI5 power-that-be explains Serena's mission:
"You know as well as I do, it's not straightforward to deduce an author's views from his novels. That's why we've been looking for a novelist who also writes journalism. We're looking out for the sort who might spare a moment for his hard-pressed fellows in the Eastern bloc, travels out there perhaps to lend support or sends books, signs petitions for persecuted writers, engages his mendacious Marxist colleagues here, isn't afraid to talk publicly about writers in prison in Castro's Cuba. Generally swims against the orthodox flow …"
Key to this ploy – to influence the thinking of the masses – is that the writer know nothing of the real source of funding. The idea is not new. Melvin Lasky, an American journalist, took money for years from the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, for the German and British anti-Communist journals he edited.
MI5's operation, "Sweet Tooth," includes other writers but Serena is to sign up its first novelist, a young man already in mind, Thomas (T.H.) Haley, who is studying for a doctorate at the University of Sussex. Serena is sent away with Haley's file and the words, "Assuming you're happy, we'd like you to get on the train to Brighton and take a look at him. If you give the thumbs up, we'll take him on."
At this point, Serena slips into a world of Haley's stories – strange, compelling pieces that make her happy. Of course, the inevitable will happen: The two will fall in love.
But always, always there will be the deception that is Sweet Tooth. She is Haley's lover and his traitor too.
"Tell him now. Tell him what you do," she chides herself, other times thinking, "the truth was too weighty – it would destroy us."
Prevarication, to a profound degree, informs much of Serena's life by this time.
She must lie about her work – as she has been lied to, by Tony Canning, by co-workers, by circumstances she believes she didn't choose.
"Tony had chosen my profession for me, lent me his words, ceps, opinions, worldliness," she muses of her summerlong affair with Canning, one during which, unbeknownst to Serena, he groomed her for MI5. But he also enchanted her, and taught her about ceps (porcini), mushrooms much prized in Italy and France.
Canning betrays Serena early on in the book. Later, there are rumors he also betrayed MI5. Max, an MI5 colleague, tells Serena, "In this work the line between what people imagine and what's really the case can get very blurry."
What isn't at all "blurry" here are the wonderful musings about and discussions of books, their creation, their words, their meaning. Serena and Tom speak endlessly of them, argue endlessly about them – and one gathers that many of their thoughts are those held or being weighed by McEwan.
Sweet Tooth, as a mission, will fail of course – and Haley will compare this to the successful World War II military deception known as Operation Mincemeat: "Mincemeat succeeded because invention, the imagination, drove the intelligence. By miserable comparison, Sweet Tooth, that precursor of decay, reversed the process and failed because intelligence tried to interfere with invention."
McEwan's use of a female protagonist – after his stunning portrayal of Briony in "Atonement" – is pivotal here. When, this spring, The New Yorker ran an excerpt of the early portion of the book, Serena seemed too green and too malleable to be of interest to Tony Canning, much less the MI5 – proving only that "Sweet Tooth" must be read in toto or readers, too, are going to be deceived.
As Serena puts it herself:
"I couldn't have known in the beginning where we were headed, and as soon as I did know, it became too precious to threaten … All I could think of was never telling him. Could I live with myself? Well, I already was."
"Sweet Tooth," in sum, is a superb novel – perhaps without the scope of "Atonement" but with an interior life, and stories-within-stories, and more books to think of than one can count, and all of this told with Ian McEwan's signature crystal-clear prose. Bravo!

COLUMBUS - It's easy to get caught up in the numbers.
Clyde had the No. 1 team in the state and the co-player of the year in Division II in Amanda Cahill.
Shaker Heights Hathaway Brown had its own No. 1, Vanessa Smith, who shared the honor with Cahill.
Article Photos
The Fliers hadn't lost a game through 27 tries going into the girls basketball semifinal at Value City Arena.
The Blazers have been to seven straight semifinals and have won the last four state titles.
But it's two other numbers Thursday night that have Hathaway Brown playing in its seventh straight state final: 22 and 12.
The Blazers converted 22 turnovers and 12 offensive boards into 31 points in a 57-38 beating of the Fliers on Thursday night.
"I thought our defense the whole game, but particularly in the first and fourth quarters, really kind of set the tone for us," Hathaway Brown coach Paul Barlow said. "In this tournament run we've had this year, we've had pretty good defense across the board. I think we're averaging around 30-32 points to our opponents in this run and that's certainly been the key and it was again today."
Hathaway Brown (22-6) moves on to face West Holmes, who beat Chaminade Julienne, 69-44, in the nightcap. The Knights bested the Blazers earlier in the year, 49-45.
Smith and fellow post Nia Marshall got the bulk of the attention for the Blazers, and were held to 10 and 14 points respectively on 9 of 25 shooting.
"I thought in the first half on the offensive glass as these two got some putbacks that really helped us inflate the lead," Barlow said in reference to Smith and Marshall.
But it was the Blazers' other weapons that hurt Clyde as the guards and wings went 5 of 8 from outside the arc, including a 3-of-4 effort from Stephanie Solano, who finished with 11 points.
"I would take that, in all honestly, night in, night out," Barlow said. "We've had a couple of games where we've shot the ball well from the outside which is a key thing against that zone to open the inside. It also allows us to crash the boards and get some of those offensive rebounds."
Clyde coach John Cahill said the plan was to let the Blazers fire away from outside.
"We really were trying to bait them into taking shots. On film, we had seen they hadn't shot the ball particularly well and tonight they did and that's a credit to them," coach Cahill said. "A credit to them, when you step up and make shots in this kind of a stage, you deserve to win and they did."
Beth Brzozowski had 10 points, including six points off two old-fashioned 3-pointers to open the fourth quarter, after Clyde had used an 8-0 run to close the third quarter down, 41-31.
"We got it to 10 and I told the kids if we could get it under singles and make it competitive late, I felt like we've found ways in games like that all year," coach Cahill said. "They just came out and took over again and went on a 6-0 run. We gave up a lot of turnovers where they got easy baskets on them. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, they showed why they continue to win state championships."
Lysette Roman added seven off the bench and Stephanie Poland had five points and seven rebounds in the victory.
Clyde led 5-0 early before Hathaway Brown exposed the Fliers 2-3 zone with a pair of Solano 3-pointers to take the lead for good.
By the end of the first quarter it was 14-7 and by half, the Blazers forged ahead further, 34-21.
"We got off to a good start but they were very physical and made plays," coach Cahill said. "I thought they deserved to win. They made shots. They didn't turn the ball over."
Cahill had 16 points, nine boards and four blocks but also eight turnovers in the loss for a team that has just one senior. Hannah Wadsworth tossed in 10 points.
"Amanda Cahill is a hell of a basketball player. We've seen a lot of great basketball players but she's as good as we've seen," Barlow said. "Primarily Vanessa was on her most of the game. I thought she did a great job of containing her. We talked about coming into it that if she scored 15, 18 points, we'd take it and see if anybody else do some damage against us. We did a good job against them across the board."

There are many things I'm looking forward to in 2013, both personally and professionally. Plans for new restaurants in the U.S., including Eataly Chicago, are underway, and I'm gearing up for the 2013 Ironman world championships in Hawaii – if I'm lucky enough to get a spot! But one big life change kick-started all of it 15 years ago, my decision to quit smoking. This choice is something many of you are probably also considering in the New Year and trust me, it's worth it.
You might be surprised to hear that those in the restaurant industry – people who rely on their palate for work every single day – have a higher population of smokers than many other occupation in the U.S. I used to be one of those smokers.
It may be the hours we keep, the high stress levels or being surrounded by triggers like food and wine all the time. Whatever it is, the high amount of smoking in the industry makes it hard to say no to a cigarette when there's always someone asking you to join them on a smoke break. As a former smoker, I've not only seen how many people in the hospitality business struggle with this addiction, but I've been in their shoes.
That's why I want to share my story and help people kick the habit for good. But, it's easier said than done, right?
My StoryI was a smoker for 18 years. At my worst, I smoked up to two-and-a-half packs of cigarettes a day, buying a third pack on my way home from Babbo each night. Like many smokers, I tried to quit… and quit… and quit again. I tried over a dozen times, but I would always eventually cave to the cravings.
It wasn't until my first child was born that the reality of my bad habit hit hard. My wife laid down the law, so to speak, and helped me realize I had to get healthy if I wanted to be a good role model for my new family. At the same time, I realized my passion for food and wine was being compromised; my senses were becoming dull from smoking, and in the food and wine industry these senses are crucial.
I've had a lot of challenges in my life, but this was one of the biggest. I was finally able to give up cigarettes with the help of quit smoking products – and support from my friends and family. I need to give special recognition to my wife for giving me the final push! Support was crucial in my quitting, which is why I'm partnering with Blueprint to Quit – a comprehensive quit smoking program available only at Walmart – to help others get started on the right foot. The program can help with physical cravings associated with smoking and provides behavioral support online when you need it.
Quitting enabled me to focus on making lifestyle changes I associated with smoking, things like having a cup of coffee, wine tasting and late nights at the restaurant. It was difficult, but I'm happy to report that 15 years later I'm still smoke-free. I can truly say I'm healthier today at age 44 than when I was in my 20s.
To all the smokers reading this: you CAN quit. Things that helped me were identifying situations where I would smoke and replacing them with other activities or eliminating them all together and making my plan public to friends and family so they could keep me on track.
If there's one thing to take away from this, it's don't focus on the big picture. Instead, take it one cigarette at a time and be proud of yourself for even making the decision to try to quit.
Anything worthwhile is difficult, and overcoming an addiction like smoking may seem impossible, but I can tell you that some of the best years of my life have been smoke-free.
Cheers to a happy and healthy New Year.

SW Live Action TV your thoughts
May 9, 2005, 10:09 AM »
Okay, we all know its coming. Time to determine what direction this will go in. At least 75% of the EP3 cast could do TV. Was it a coincidence that Lucas hired a bunch of actors who have done TV? While some of the cast will never appear on TV and the balance is either disguised, CGI, etc. this could go into so many directions.
Will these be reoccuring storylines, or different chapters each week. Will it contain the Empire (Vader, Sidious,etc). Leia and Luke growing up (I can see Smits making cameos). Or following Fett. A young Han? Jedis that survived the Purge? Endless possiblities that could work. With CGI being quite economical these days, alot could be passed off.

I'm not sure what to make of a live-action TV series for SW.
It works for Star Trek at times... I mean, TNG and DS9 are still 2 of the best shows ever on TV if you ask me, and I'd watch every re-run if Spike would put them on later in the day when I actually could watch TV.
The problem will be duplicating that kind of success... Not easy.
Personally, I think following the budding rebellion, perhaps even the earliest days of the "Rogue" Squadron mates. That'd be great... You get action, stories would be varied, plenty of main characters both alien and human... Wouldn't be hard to duplicate known characters from the films, but you wouldn't really need to delve into "mains" like Han, Luke, Leia, etc...
I'd like to think this is the concept Lucas may run with but I fear it's not. A different story every week, I've found, isn't something I'm wild about. I know that the little side stories interjected in the Clone Wars shorts were distracting, and I felt that the 2nd season with its strict continuity was better. Sure it was sorta neat watching the Mace and Kit episodes in Season one, but they were sort of dumb asides that didn't "fit" as well also, and they were the weakest episodes IMO as well.
Live action could rock... You can't have them "exploring" like in TNG, but DS9's last season was all-out war. Nothing but ass kickings in space. Huge battles. Death and destruction. And it rocked that series to the core... You could deal with that. Hell I'd dig it if they interwove it with the Kyle Katarn storyline somehow... Rogue Squad meets Kyle Katarn on his various missions for the Alliance. That'd be too much to dream for, if you ask me.

George Lucas said that "None of the cast will be apearing in the live action show. Well...one is, anyway." and that it will cover the events leading from episode 3 to 4.

I think I've posted on this before, but I would have loved to see a SW TV show simply entitled "Rebellion" centered around the formation and early rise of the Rebellion.
It sould start shortly after EPIII or, actually I'd like to see maybe the pilot episode sort of overlap with the events of EPIII. I'd like to see Smits actually be one of the main stars, maybe have some cameos in the first episode to kick things off. You could start with the formation of the rebellion, maybe one of the first meetings on Coruscant around the time of EPIII. Mon Mothma could have a part, even introduce characters like Dodonna
I'd like to see specific episodes like the creation of Rouge Squadron(which they could then be used in multiple episodes, swooping in and saving the day), or a Wedge backstory, or early training and missions.
An episode or two (or a small mini-series type concept could be centered around a young Luke, with some catchy title like "the unknown hero" or something)
You could also at the same time show the Rebelilions struggles against the Empire. Characters like Tarkin, Veers, etc. could be mainstay "Baddies"(you would still have the classic good vs. bad theme). Also I'd like to see an episode maybe where the Empire enslaves surviving wookies, including Chewie. You could eventually have an episode on Han and his earely role in the Empire. maybe showing how Han and Chewie came to be.
There could be an episode showing how the Rebellion "recruited" the Bothans as their spy network, eventually as you get closer to EP IV in later episodes, you could show how the REbellion came into all the X-wings, etc. or maybe an episode where they smuggled a bunch of R2 units in order to plan attacks using the X-wings. Maybe actually show how the plans to the Death star were stolen.
Sure, an occational episode showing the "jedi purge" would be awesome.
Characters like Obi-WAn and Yoda could always be referenced, but if Lucas didn;t want to show on-screen, could still be workled into the story.
I'd love to see episodes where they "discover the massassi temple and create the Rebel base, or show the Rebellion on Dantooine, and have a season ending episode where maybe they are "beat down" and why they have to desert Dantooine.
I'd love to see certain "bounty hunter" or underworld type episodes.Tell me an episode working in someone like Xizor and Black Sun wouldn't be pretty cool.
Imagine scenes of a Royal Guard training center? or raids by the rebellion on Empire stockyards, seeing a huge warehouse where AT-AT's are being constructed, and the Rebellion raids it and blows it all up? ( I envision a scene, where Veers is visiting for an inscpection of the construction of the Empires "new" weapon, and the rebels mine the warehouse and as the raid begins, the Empire manages to get people inside one of the At-AT's and Veers is yelling "it's too late, we cannot lose them all,we must save one, finished or not were going to see what one of these armored transports can do, get some pilots in there and make them pay!" I can see an unfinished At-AT being started up and pulls out of the "dock" as it takes it's first steps, pipes and gaslines lines pull away and as the camera pans back to a burning shipyard, a huge At-AT comes marching out of the flames and the rubble of a destroyed shipyard, and rebel pilots race to thier ships to escape and the At-At starts pulverizing them. The episode ends as a rebel pilot hands Mon Mothma the plans for the shipyard as he dies. Mon Mothma and Organa take the plans and while they converse about the Empire growing ever stronger, a 3-D image shows plans for vehicles like the AT-AT and Vaders super Star Destroyer.
or, how about Boba Fett actually being hired by the Rebellion early on? Imagine an early fett working for the "good guys" back in the days? He could still be a mercenary-for-hire but actually work for the good guys, that would be a pretty cool twist.
Man, the possibilities are just endless.

Yeah, I don't know about that. I would not be surprised if it becomes a Boba Fett show. However, I can't see them sticking with Daniel Logan for it. NOthing against him or anything. I would just be surprised is all.

First up, I have to say that I am not thrilled at all about the Live Action on TV. I worry that we'll lose the attractiveness of the films. I mean, here's the real issue, Lucas cannot write dialogue (inlcluding the OT), and you have to have good acting which takes good dialogue. If Lucas allows others to run with it, then it may have a chance. That is what made ST TNG and DS9 series that worked. TNG had decent dialogue and very good acting. DS9 once they got into the war had action, decent acting and dialogue and it carried that series to its conclusion. I wonder if the SW show will have that. Also, Lucas needs to use technology to enhance the story and not be the story.
As for a theme, and yes, it needs a central theme be it the beginning of the Rebellion, or Rogue Squadron, or two Jedi Knights that escape the purge and are both hiding/******* the empire, or like Jude Watson's current book series The Last of the Jedi. I would like to see some aspect of two Jedi who escaped the purges and their efforts to remain free of the Empire (tension) while trying to assist the fledging rebellion.

Yep, if they were to do this show that is the angle I would like to see as well. Preferably a couple Jedi we know nothing about trying to escape the Empire and somehow helping out the new Rebellion. I would like cameos of course of certain characters.

I've heard a few things recently focused on the Boba Fett storyline. As a huge Fett fan, i'm torn. I really like Daniel Logan in EP II, I think he did a good job as a young Fett, but I think carrying a TV series on the shoulders of a young actor as he would be difficult. You think George would have learned his lesson with Llyoyd and EP I.
Although, Logan in 2 years is well, 2 years older, and if the series carries for a few years, Logan at 2,3,4 yrs. down the road, may not be SO bad. I dunno.
Still wish it would focuse on the Rebellion and work all the characters and backstories in as asides.

I dunno that he was good in AOTC...
I mean, the half-assed chuckle, and the incredibly piss-poor "Look out!", and god forbid I ever hear a freaking 12 year old yell "fire!" at his father as he tries killing someone.
Then again is that Logan or Lucas at fault?
I think mostly B, but I can see partly A too since the delivery was shite.
Not to critique him, and I don't know if he could pull a full character on a weekly series off or not. Maybe he could since AOTC wasn't a BIG role and his sequences on Kamino were alright, so who knows. He blew once he was in the Slave I shots though.
Now... I could see Bodie Taylor playing Fett too as the series progresses and he gets older. It could be really cool having a show around a Bounty Hunter, but it could get into some really craptacular EU material too which I"m REALLY hoping that the series proves to be high quality... I like the analogies of ST:TNG and ST:DS9 being GOOD quality shows where the acting, writing, and story were the focus and FX were there only to help. If they pull something off half as good as ST:TNG I think I'd be content to happy with it. I still watch ST:TNG re-runs religiously so I hold it in high regard.

Well, I don't think Lucas has a good track record picking good child actors or in delivering good lines. I think of Jake Lloyd, Daniel Logan, the group of kids at Anakin's podracer.
A series has to have adults in it. If the series is based around Boba Fett, I think you have to imagine that it takes place between Ep. III and Ep. IV, with Boba being an adult.
