Your Black World Headlines: 11/18/2008
Your Black News: Is The Reparations Movement Dead?
Just a few years ago, at roughly the turn of the millennium, slavery reparations seemed the coming thing. A New York Times article in June 2001 reported that the movement to obtain compensation for slaves' descendants had "taken on substantial force" and was "gaining steam" both in the nation's universities and in the black community.
All the major black organizations had signed on, including the NAACP, the Urban League and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. Randall Robinson's book, "The Debt: What America Owes to Blacks," had hit the bestseller lists in 2000. Many state and local Democratic politicians started to talk up the idea.
Then: nothing. Today, reparations seem to have completely disappeared from the national agenda. Few mention them anymore. What happened?
Your Black World Headlines: 10/30/2008
Your Black News: Femi Kuti Releases First Album In 7 Years
Femi Kuti (the son of Nigerian music legend Fela Kuti) is set to release Day By Day, his first studio album since Fight To Win seven years ago and first overall since the live Africa Shrine four years ago, on which he recorded early versions of three of the songs on this new album. Day By Day will be released Nov. 18 by the independent label Downtown Records' newly launched imprint, Mercer Street.
Femi Kuti's sabbatical from recording gave him time to learn to play piano properly and to return to the trumpet, his first instrument, which he gave up in favor of the saxophone. Kuti recorded the album with Positive Force, his 17-piece band.
Since Fela's death in 1997, Femi, a songwriter, performer and bandleader in his own right, has brought his music to audiences that might never have heard of Fela. Femi toured America with the alt-rock band Jane's Addiction, sang on Rachid Taha's Made In Medina album and reached out to the American hip-hop community connecting with people such as Mos Def, D'Angelo, Nile Rodgers, Erykah Badu and the Roots […]

text: CLOSE UP KURDISTAN : Interview with Director Yuksel Yavuz * KurdishCinema - February 27 2009 What does this 'Close-up' mean to you personally? As someone who was born and raised in Turkish Kurdistan the "permanent war" has not gone past me – even though I live in Germany since 1980. Over the years I met many Kurdish refugees. Some of them were prosecuted Kurdish intellectuals, others close relatives who migrated to Europe, especially Germany. Nevertheless I always felt that we here in Europe do not know much about the dirty war in Turkish Kurdistan. Most of the people in Europe and the rest of the world ignore the tragedy. Thus I wanted to take a closer look at the Turkish Kurdish conflict to understand its dimensions. How did you choose the protagonists of your film? There are many facets of the Turkish-Kurdish conflict. It affects everyone in the country, even abroad and here in Germany. I wanted to show a range of people who had to suffer under the conflict and still do. During my research I met many different people. And already during the shooting I realised how firm, strong, convincing and authentic the stories of my protagonists are. As a young Turk and student Dr. Ismail Besikci already got to know the Kurds –even before I was born. This influenced his career as a scientist. He wrote many books about the Kurds. For doing this he had to spend 17 years of his life in various prisons. Most of the former soldiers with whom I spoke understandably didn't have the courage to tell the truth about their military service in front of a camera. In the circumstances they have to fear accusations for revealing military secrets. On the other hand the war has displaced many hundred of thousands inhabitants of Kurdish villagers to the cities. They had to leave their villages where they had lived since centuries. During the course of one generation the have been completely derooted. A major part of the Kurdish way of living has been destroyed. Orhan Miroglu has been part of the Kurdish opposition since the 70s, even before he has been jailed in the military prison of Diyarbakir after the military coup in 1980. He had to stay in that prison for six years. The prison of Diyarbakir became a symbol of resistance for the Kurds. Could you describe your position towards the Turkish-Kurdish conflict and its connection between the private and the political spheres? War already begins in the minds and heads of the people – even before one catches a weapon. I always knew that the major problem of this conflict has been the Turkish politics of assimilation: the denial of the existence of the Kurdish people, their language and their culture – this very denouncement. I was born and raised in Kurdistan. I learned the Turkish language in school not until I was six years old. I spent my whole school days in Turkish residential schools up until I came to Germany at the age of 16. These residential schools, which have been everywhere in Kurdistan, were machines for assimilation, not schools with a proper offer of knowledge. They just function to spread the Kemalist ideology of the state, which says that everyone who lives in Turkey is a Turk. In my film I wanted to experience what has happened to the people who have been born and raised there like me, but who have continued to live there. I wanted to understand why a girl friend of mine from my school days went to the mountains to become a guerrilla and never came back. How would you describe the effects of the omnipresence of the Turkish state and its symbols in Turkish Kurdistan to you and the Kurds who live there? This land is in a "state of emergency" since 30 years. Nearly two thirds of the Turkish army is stationed in the Kurdish area. Because of the explosive population increase since the 90s the military barracks of Diyarbakir are now situated in the middle of the city. Many military fortresses have been built in the mountains. There are military controls everywhere. The only Turks in the provincial and district towns of Kurdistan are members of the military forces, the police and the bureaucracy. The population is under a state of siege; it is an "occupied" land. Even in the metropolis of Istanbul, which I visit frequently, Turkish flags are everywhere. And they get bigger and bigger every time. What importance does the music have for your film? The music I remember from being a child was Kurdish. But during my time in the boarding schools I was solely confronted with Turkish nationalistic songs. Like the language, Kurdish music was forbidden for a long time. It wasn't until the cautious liberalization during the 90's that Kurdish music underwent a sort of renaissance. Nevertheless the song "Kece Kurdan" ("The Kurdish daughter"), sung by the female Kurdish singer Aynur Dogan, was forbidden in Turkey. I also used music from the Band "Kardes Türküler". They sing and perform songs from various Turkish minorities which stand for the original cultural variety of the country. How was the editing of the film? For me a documentary film principally emerges at the editing table. The editing process of a documentary film is much more intensive and creative than that of a fiction feature. I was lucky to work with a very experienced editor who in addition knew much about the themes of the film. In my work the content generally determines the form. On a narrative level we initially had to find the motives of the film. What is the essential? What do the protagonists tell me and the audience? How do they complement each other? It was necessary to find answers to these essentials questions. After that the editing process assumed a definite shape in which form and content determined each other. All over the world armed forces look the same. They nearly wear the same uniforms, carry the same weapons and use nearly the same equipment. Even if the soldiers of the Turkish army and the Kurdish guerrillas have totally different goals to fulfill and different means to do so, they still pass through the same military formation. There are many tracking shots in the movie. Thus the film shows us the cities and the landscape, but even more complex circumstances are illustrated by it, too. For me the film was a personal journey into the recent past of the Turkish-Kurdish conflict. By using many tracking shots I show the cities and the landscapes I usually pass when I visit my parents. They show the variety and beauty, but also the decay of this land. And when Dr. Ismail Besikci talks about his numerous stays in prisons in different cities, he sure has passed many of the streets the film passes. While we traverse the Kurdish mountains we also pass places which have been scenes of heavy fights during the war between the Turkish army and the Kurdish guerrilla. This is the area where the German ex-guerrilla stayed during his time in Kurdistan. The Kurdish woman from the refugee camp Maxmur in Iraq also comes from this area. There are destroyed and abandoned villages everywhere, places which must have been a "paradise on earth" for many before. At one part of the film the writer Orhan Miroglu describes his place of birth, the city of Mardin: Once Assyrians, Kurds, Yezids, Arabs and Turks lived there together. One could hear three to four languages which were spoken on the streets then. But now you see a big poster above main street where you can read: "Turk, be proud, work and believe!" A quotation from Atatürk. You see the very same slogan beneath a monument in the centre of Ankara. Sadly they have killed the cultural diversity which existed before. * 10.12.2007 |

- How to Read a Study Record
Investigation of the usefullness of therapeutical drug monitoring of ribavirin for dose adaptation during combination therapy of chronic hepatitis C patients.
The correlation between ribavirin plasma concentration levels at week 4 (steady state) and early virological response (HCV-RNA decay from baseline to week 12) is to be tested in 40 patients approximately.
Condition | Intervention |
Chronic Hepatitis C |
Procedure: therapeutic drug monitoring of ribavirin and dose adaptation |
Study Type: | Interventional |
Study Design: | Allocation: Non-Randomized Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment Masking: Open Label Primary Purpose: Diagnostic |
Official Title: | Diagnostic Value of Plasma Ribavirin Assay During the Combination Therapy « Pegylated Interferon + Ribavirin » in Chronic Hepatitis C. |
- relationship between plasma ribavirin concentration and early virological response
- safety
- relationship between plasma ribavirin concentration and hemoglobin drop
- dose effect of ribavirin on ribavirin plasma concentration
Estimated Enrollment: | 40 |
Study Start Date: | October 2003 |
Estimated Study Completion Date: | July 2004 |
Background and rational The serum concentrationS of ribavirin commonly range from 1 to 5 in patients during the combination treatment « interferon+ribavirin » (Larrat et al. 2003). However, the bioavailibility of ribavirin is not considered in the current recommendation for this treatment.
The aim of this study is to demonstrate that the adaptation « à la carte » of ribavirin posology according to its serum concentration could improve the efficacy and the tolerance of the hepatitis C combination therapy.
Study design This study is a prospective clinical pharmacology trial in patients on combination treatment for a chronic hepatitis C with genotype 1 or 4 virus.
The evaluation will concern the serum ribavirin concentration during the first three months of treatment and its correlation with the evolution of hemoglobin (toxicity marker) or viral load (efficacy marker).
After the 3 months of the study, a adaptation of posology based on serum ribavirin level will be offer to the patients for the rest of the treatment period. A control of the ribavirin level one month after the dose adaptation will be performed.
- Study treatments This trial is not a treatment evaluation. All the patients will receive the same treatment with PegInterferon alfa-2a and ribavirin according to the registered recommendations for use.
- Target population The study population will consist of patients with genotype 1 or 4 chronic hepatitis C and for which a combination therapy is indicated.
- Main selection criteria Patients with chronic hepatitis C related to genotype 1 or 4 virus and for which a combination therapy is needed will be eligible. Patients with co-infection (either VHB or VIH) or with concomitant treatments expected to interact with the endpoints (hemoglobin, viral load, serum ribavirin) will be excluded.
Judgement endpoints
There will be intermediate endpoints :
- blood hemoglobin concentration whom reduction during the 4 first weeks of treatment is a marker of toxicicty of the drug (induction of an hemolytic anemiae)
- viral load whom reduction of at least 2 log after 12 weeks of treatment is correlated with the sustained virologic response to treatment
- serum level of ribavirin for which it is expected a correlation with the two previous biological markers
The primary judgement endpoint will be the statistical correlation as following :
- the serum concentration of ribavirine at the plateau of pharmacokinetics (J28(S4))
- the change of the hemoglobin concentration from D0 to D28(S4)
- the change of hemoglobin concentration between D0 and D84(S12)
- Secondary endpoints The thresholds of efficacy and toxicity of ribavirin will be determined by comparison of responder/non responder patients (as predicted by viral load change) and patients with/without toxicity. A correlation between the evolution of these two markers will be calculated.
Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years to 65 Years (Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patients with chronic hepatitis C related to genotype 1 or 4 virus and for which a combination therapy is needed will be eligible.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients with co-infection (either VHB or VIH) or with concomitant treatments expected to interact with the endpoints (hemoglobin, viral load, serum ribavirin) will be excluded.

James, M. R. and Lane, Stephen and Chouet, B and Gilbert, J. S. (2004) Pressure changes associated with the ascent and bursting of gas slugs in liquid-filled vertical and inclined conduits. Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research, 129 (1-3). pp. 61-82. ISSN 0377-0273
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
At basaltic volcanoes, the sources of long-period and very-long-period seismicity and acoustic signals are frequently described in terms of fluid dynamic processes, in particular the formation and ascent of gas slugs within the magma column and their bursting at the surface. To investigate pressure changes associated with these processes, two-phase flow experiments have been carried out in vertical and inclined pipes with both single gas slugs and a continuously supplied gas phase. The ascent of individual gas slugs is accompanied by strong dynamic pressure variations resulting from the flow of liquid around the slug. These dynamic transients generate sub-static pressures below the ascending slug in viscosity-controlled systems, and produce super-static pressures when the slug reaches the surface and motion ceases in inertia-dominated systems. Conduit inclination promotes a change of regime from bubbly to slug flow and favours an increase in size and velocity of the slugs at the expense of their frequency of occurrence during continuously supplied two-phase flow. The experimental pressure data support previous theoretical analyses of oscillatory sources in ascending slugs as the slugs approach the surface and burst. Pressure oscillations are also observed during the release of gas slugs and in their wake region.

Hubbard, I think, was one of the best examples of the brilliant sideman. His solo records were, even at their best, no more than quite good, but his contributions to the projects of others could be outstanding. Herewith extracts from Fee Fi Fo Fum on Wayne Shorter's Speak No Evil (1964), Eye of the Hurricane on Herbie Hancock's Maiden Voyage (1965) and the lovely Stolen Moments on Oliver Nelson's The Blues and the Abstract Truth (1961).

Poll: NFV Will Be Massive
Ray Le Maistre, International Group Editor
Is network functions virtualization (NFV) going to have a significant impact on the communications networking industry and become a feature of telco networks, or is it a lab experiment that has gotten out of hand?
Well, we'll know for sure in 10 years' time, but there's certainly a lot of optimism that NFV can deliver operational and financial benefits according to the results of our reader poll. (See: Is NFV Just Wishful Thinking? )
Currently, 338 readers have responded to the question "Will network functions virtualization (NFV) make it into telco networks or is it just a lab experiment that has got out of hand?"
Of those, nearly 53 percent voted that "It's going to have a massive impact on costs and efficiencies -- it's a game-changer."
But there is still skepticism. About 28 percent voted in favor of "It's great in isolation but too hard to deploy in production networks," while nearly 14 percent chose the option "NFV won't get out of the test lab -- it's all hype."
Just 6 percent hadn't been caught up in the NFV hype and voted for "NF what?"
NFV is turning into one of the biggest debates in the telco sector in years, and there is plenty of support and momentum from major operators to virtualize network functions, and reduce the number of bespoke network elements that need to be deployed and maintained.

The result? What the Smithsonian says is the "largest 3D printed museum quality historical replica" on Earth. And now, it's also the showpiece that begins a much larger effort at the world's biggest museum and research institution: a move to create digital 3D models and physical 3D prints of a wide variety of the objects in its archive.
This could have a profound effect if the effort is successful over time. Visitors to the Smithsonian's many arms see just 2 percent of its giant collection, and widespread digitization could mean that the archives are opened up--virtually, at least--to people throughout the country and the world. And that could be a boon to both researchers and educators, as well as students everywhere.
Plus, the museum itself is likely to be able to display a growing number of sophisticated 3D printed models and replicas, with Jefferson being just the first example.

NY Legislature Passes Bill to Provide Right to Counsel in Child Custody Proceedings
Laura K. Abel, Deputy Director, Poverty Program, Brennan Center for Justice at NYU School of Law reports that on August 4th, the New York State legislature passed a civil right to counsel bill The bill would extend to matrimonial proceedings in NY Supreme Court involving child custody the statutory right to counsel already guaranteed for child custody proceedings in NY Family Court. Up until now, an odd loophole in NY State law provided a right to counsel for the parents in child custody proceedings in Family Court but not in the Supreme Court (where divorces are heard).

BHPian | Traveled by KSRTC B9R on Monday from Chennai to Bangalore. Was disappointed as this did not have a toilet as with other twin rear-axle buses abroad. The bus's extra length meant that weaving into traffic was difficult as was overtaking. The maximum speed the driver drove was 90 KMPH but it got there quicker when compared to B7R. I felt that it does not make sense to have this bus run on this route as there is not much of cost savings in doing medium hauls on high-dense route. I was seating right behind the driver but I felt that this was noisier when compared to B7R. Not about the AC part as there were only eleven passengers in this bus and as soon as we reached Poonamalee everybody including the conductor(lady) went to sleep using the 2 seats across. Started from Koyambedu at 1130 PM (1110PM Scheduled start time) and was in electronic city by 4:45 AM with a stop for 15 mins in between after Krishnagiri toll (opp Hotel Uthayah) |

So what you see in the second axle is the "rear" portion of the rim. This is what happens in all Heavy Vehicles, and I wonder what is the surprise here. | |

| I don't see the Airavat mentioned on these as was seen on B7R intra-city buses. What are these buses called? |

I guess they are still called Airavat - I had to use KSRTC last week on an quick trip to Chennai to pick up my car. I boarded the bus at madivala police station at around 11:45pm and it was the B9R coach & had the airavat logo. But KSRTC again has made it cramped - (lukicly the bus was half empty & no one occupied the seat before me and that gave me some respite) | |

KSRTC has always had more seats even on the B7R. for example, on the Bangalore - Mumbai or the Mumbai - Mangalore route, KSRTC B7Rs have 45 seats instead of 41 or 36 on other operators like VRL / Sharma. Likewise even the KSRTC B9Rs have 52 (the last row i think has four seats only) seats. that is 13 rows as against to 12 or even 11 on other operators B9Rs.... So yes, the KSRTC buses always have had a little less space - bad for people over 6 feet like me. From what i understand, KSRTC is the first govt run operator to be given the B9R : for a trial for 3 months. | |

Since then, KSRTC purchases only 45-seater Volvos (which is the standard seating arrangement for a Volvo). On the other hand, Private operators go for semi-sleeper seats for all their buses (Except may be Neeta/Koduskar/Metro Line buses that run dedicatedly between Mumbai and Pune, may be Nasik/Shirdi and Mahabaleshwar, too). Since private operators have too little "cross-usage" they can afford to have semi-sleeper on all their buses. The Standard seating pattern for Volvo is: B7R: 45 (Executive Seats), 41 (36 Semi-sleeper + 5 Executive seats). In some buses, 36 Semi-sleeper seats, with a crew "bunk" is provided. B9R: 53 (Executive seats), 49 (44 Semi-sleeper seats + 5 Executive seats). KSRTC has already purchased these monsters. Five buses owned by KSRTC was recently flagged off by the state transport minister at a function recently. The trial buses have reportedly been returned. This makes KSRTC the FIRST GOVERNMENT-OWNED B9R OPERATOR in India. | |

Secondly, again, i was replying to someone in this topic who mentioned about seat comfort: so my facts above are right, right? As for the B9R, as per the news i saw the other day, i thought these were on a trial bases as of now. if not, its a great new step by KSRTC and Volvo together!! | |

| I travelled from Bangalore to Mumbai in Sharma Transports Mercedes- Benz bus during Diwali Vacation. It was just awesome. It took around 16 hrs to reach Mumbai. Even after wasting almost an hour in Pune. plus two breaks of 40 mins each. While coming back i took Vishal Travels Volvo B9R from Mumbai to Mangalore and later Durgamba Motors sleeper Ashok Leyland from Mangalore to Bangalore. But overall i found Mercedes Benz much comfortable than Volvo B9R. The suspension in Mercedes Benz is much better than volvo. Had a good sleep also. On the pick up and power i found both doing resonably good. But in Mercedes i coundt not make out the speed. It was a smooth ride. Since i took the first row i was able to see the speedometer. Have took the snap also at 110 Speed. Will add it during weekend. In volvo i felt the speed at night and sudden brakes woke me up regularly. But when i woke up it almost reached Kundapur. It was definitely travelling for more than 100+KMS. It reached Mangalore in just 16 hrs with 2 tea breks and a dinner break of 30 mins each. Compared to Volvo B7R, B9R is much comfortable and stable. But Mercedes ia a real star. Will put the pics during weekend. |

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Shardelaugh Early OriginsThe surname Shardelaugh was first found in Derbyshire, at Shardlow, a village that dates back to at least the Domesday Book of 1086 where it was listed as Serdelau and literally meant "mound with a notch or indentation" from the Old English words sceard + hlaw. [1]CITATION[CLOSE] Mills, A.D., Dictionary of English Place-Names. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1991. Print. (ISBN 0-19-869156-4) Shardelaugh Spelling VariationsShardelaugh Spelling VariationsSound was what guided spelling in the essentially pre-literate Middle Ages, so one person's name was often recorded under several variations during a single lifetime. Also, before the advent of the printing press and the first dictionaries, the English language was not standardized. Therefore, spelling variations were common, even among the names of the most literate people. Known variations of the Shardelaugh family name include Shardelow, Shardlow, Shardlowe, Shardelowe, Shardlaw, Shardelaw, Shardalow, Shardeloe, Shardloe, Shartlow, Shartloe, Shatlow, Shatloe and many more.

The Great MigrationThe Great MigrationFor political, religious, and economic reasons, thousands of English families boarded ships for Ireland, Canada, the America colonies, and many of smaller tropical colonies in the hope of finding better lives abroad. Although the passage on the cramped, dank ships caused many to arrive in the New World diseased and starving, those families that survived the trip often went on to make valuable contributions to those new societies to which they arrived. Early immigrants bearing the Shardelaugh surname or a spelling variation of the name include: William Shardloe, who arrived in Pennsylvania in 1682; a D. Shatlow, who arrived in San Francisco in 1852; as well as Betsy Shardlow of Nottinghamshire, England and her daughter Dorothy, age 4 who arrived at Ellis Island, New York in 1908..

The British Geological Survey (BGS) was awarded a grant from the Scottish Government Aggregates Levy Fund in 2007 to provide a comprehensive, relevant and accessible information base to enhance the sustainability of mineral resources for 18 local authorities in the central belt of Scotland. BGS co-funded this project through its Sustainable Mineral Solutions project. This work was completed in March 2008. This dataset comprises the digital GIS files which were produced through this project. The major elements of minerals information presented are the geological distribution of all mineral resources in the Central Belt of Scotland. The BGS Mineral Resource data does not determine mineral reserves and therefore does not denote potential areas of extraction. Only onshore, mainland mineral resources are included in the dataset. This dataset has been produced by the collation and interpretation of mineral resource data principally held by the British Geological Survey. The mineral resource data presented are based on the best available information, but are not comprehensive and their quality is variable. The dataset should only be used to show a broad distribution of those mineral resources which may be of current or potential economic interest. The data should not be used to determine individual planning applications or in taking decisions on the acquisition or use of a particular piece of land, although they may give useful background information which sets a specific proposal in context.

I doubt they would have to open every single box in a shipment. I had 3 and all three were opened and re-sealed. If it was the shipping service, their curiosity could have been satisfied with the opening of one box. Mine were opened before shipping.
What if it's the shipping services (UPS, USPS) doing it? Think about it. They put it through their X-Ray or whatever, see the electronics/wires/etc, open it to check out what the story is. Nowadays I'd buy that story in a minute.

Geez, calm down, it was just an idea... I'm not on anybody's side here.. I got 3 KGs myself, and one of the had KG totally loose inside the inner box. Gah...

Who actually ships these. If digital river is handling the product shipping as well, it could be rogue DR employees that happened to go on Ebay and type in King Grayskull. It could also be rogue Mattel employees that trying to scalp them on ebay. I ordered 3 KG's in order to get the varient, so if I get mine and they are opened I will be returning them.

Vintage MOC and MISB For Sale:
Well, seeing as the 2nd layer of tape is the same as the first, it would be hard to believe that they got retaped past the point they were originally taped.
I got 3 in hopes of getting the variant as well. If it comes out that somebody went through them purposely to knock down our chances of getting a variant... grrr...
Uncle Montork has returned from Trolla!
and a good idea!
hahaha, I'm not all riled up or anything. I wasn't saying your statement was BS, I was noting that Onyx Minor's situation was BS. I know exactly what you are saying, I've seen similar things happen through shipping. And I think it's awesome that you are looking for an alternate solution. I do however think there is something fowl in the air with this whole thing, BUT, I totally hope not.
Sorry hommie, didn't mean to sound like that at all, I'll keep a watch on that stuff, and be more specific about my intentions next time. You is my boy! I love everybody from Trolla!
Logic dictates that if "rogue employees" are stealing your variants, wouldn't there not be enough figures to fill your orders? Honestly guys use your heads here a bit.
If these "rogue employees" went through sooo many orders and stole all the variant King Grayskulls, you'd have hundreds of people's orders screwed up. That's just not the case.
The most likely scenario involves the tape becoming broken as tape OFTEN does on boxed items and being retaped by GOOD employees that were instructed to retape the tops of the boxes so that the Castle Grayskull pieces didn't become damaged in shipping.
Buying 3 or 13 King Grayskulls does not, nor did it ever, guarntee you a variant King Grayskull.
Heh, it's cool.. Also my bad for not reading exactly right. I do that sometimes.
I just hope we can all get our KGs and look foward to the rest of this line. I was just hoping for a bronze or two. Now I gotta hunt them down.
Who says the hunt is dead because this line is online only?!
Uncle Montork has returned from Trolla!
If one guy opened about 10-20 KG's and stole 3 variants I don't think that would mess with the numbers that bad. One guy said the tab was ripped, so the item was opened not just re-taped. Many of use had returned orders or canceled orders, what happened to those KG's? I have 6 on order and the canceled 3 of them, so they will have extras. I am not the only buyer who had this happen. Also they could claim 'lost in shipping.' I said ROGUE employees not EVERY employee. It could be one dude that just opened a few. He ordered 3 and all three were opened? That seems unlikely, use your head!
Edit: I am not going to return them and be like 'GRRRR I DIDNT GET TEH VARIANT' I am going to return them if they are OPENED because I payed for MINT IN SEALED BOX.

There wasn't enough to fill orders. That's why they are canceling orders now, and I'm not talking about double orders. People who just ordered 1 are getting their order cancelled.
As far as the tape goes...all 4 peices of tape on my 3 Grayskulls (12 total) were broke and retaped. I'd buy a couple or five being broke but all 12. Then there is the matter of the ripped tabs.
It may not be a rogue employee, it could be from returns for exchanges at the SDCC. Either way unacceptable.
That's why I'm returning mine. My continuing with MOTUC all depends on how Mattel handles this.
Don't hesitate in dealing with Cilman Thread
Maybe they mixed the second Ghost of Grayskull version with the rest of the boxes, by accident of course. When they realised their mistake, they knew it was too late, since many orders were already handed out. But hope was not completely lost. Therefore, in the darkest our of the night, every Mattel employee equipped him- or herself with a sharp knife and opened all the boxes in stock in order to prevent the worst. But it was too late and now they had the bitter proof.
Tomorrow I will get my last KG Box, open it and then I will be the second luckiest customer, apart from the raffle winner. But I will be in a heavy mood, since I will feel like the one to be responsible for the cancelling of the Dream Halloween fund raising event. So I will send it back... , but will take loads of pictures with me and the ghost first! What a day this will be!
I like where you're going w/ this indeed, and have the belief that most people want to be honest. I believe if there are "rouge employees," they shouldn't make a huge mess, and it might be like one guy, if any I mean. I am still waiting on my order, the one that wasn't cancelled that is. So even if they are not stealing "hundreds," there is a large percentage of people who have yet to get their order to see if they were screwed up or not, so that's data we can't exactly reference. It may be these people that are the ones screwed... dun-dun-dun!
Seriously though, I'm sure the majority of people will get there variant figure just fine, but for the peeps that wanted sealed figures, you might need to talk w/ Matty about that one, because I bet there are some collectors that keep their boxes sealed. Not me though, KG needs to stretch his legs and strike a pose Plus you can't leave a battery in there forever, it will corrode all over the place and make it ugly, right?
Idunno, whatever, at least the regular version is better than the bronze, so some people might want to thank the rouges out there for saving you , but only if you ordered just one.
Last edited by Jawbridge; August 7, 2008 at 04:39pm. Reason: no edit, but this was old by the time I was done writing it, hot button indeed
If you saw my pics in the other thread for KG you would see that what you just implied isn't even close to the truth. Having not seen the condition some of us have gotten these, you can't really make those claims. Even if what you said is rather amusing.
The tape wasn't "broken" on accident. All three that I got were opened very roughly, then re tapped. They were opened by someone, somewhere, and it wasn't me. Probably not one of those GOOD employees you speak of.
No one ever said just by ordering 3 you would get a variant. That isn't the point. The point is product coming to you in a non new state, which someone else already looked over.
I don't buy the whole "not enough to fill orders" bit. The only people who I've heard of getting their orders cancelled had trouble at the start, and as I've said in the other thread, a lot of these people seem to be calling CS non-stop and while you'd think in theory that's a good thing, I think the more you call and confuse CS reps the more likely you are screwing your order up than helping it.
I haven't heard one story of someone's order getting canceled because of a shortage of figures.
You could be right about it being things that were handled from SDCC, but if tape is going to prevent you from collecting the line, it's not for you anyway.
Not trying to be rude by saying that, but I despise when people complain about shipping damages and such to figures. Sure, if your figure is all f-ed up because of the shipping you have right to complain. But minor knicks, dents, tape being broke, etc, is what happens when items are shipped through the mail. It's not a perfect system and it never will be.
Some people are entirely too anal about that stuff (Not saying you are) but those aren't legitimate complaints. They're looney, fringe complaints. No one in their right mind is buying a KG to keep in box without at least taking the slip cover off. If you're buying one and not planning on opening it up at least up to the point to see which KG you have, then you have personal issues and Mattel can't fix that.
I see both sides well enough I think. And to say that the series isn't for somebody that wants a new looking figure, doesn't know they are for collectors, which mattel already said. They should be well packed, and this should not be an issue.
Last edited by Jawbridge; August 7, 2008 at 04:49pm. Reason: hahahahaha, I'm just dumb
Actually someone in this very thread did allude to the fact that if they didn't get a variant because they ordered 3, that they were going to be upset, all based on the assumption that someone is "stealing" the variants.
And I did see your pictures. Nothing in those pictures to me, screamed that anyone did anything to them other then attempt to FIX them. Perhaps sloppily. But these items could have very easily been poorly packed in the first place, the tape busted and the second person to handle them RE-TAPED them.
The first person who packed them could have ripped the tabs.
I'm not sure how that's less plausible than the Bronze Grayskull bandit!
No one in this thread has complained about damaged figures. They're complaining that there is TOO MUCH TAPE on their boxes, under the ridiculous assumption that someone is STEALING their variant toys.

Ok I have several problems with your arguments. First off, when Mattel charged me 3 times I figured I should go ahead and call, not wait it out to see what happens. You don't mess with a man money and not expect to get a few phone calls. Its not like I was rude or I called 12 times a day. I called a total of 3 times usually at the REQUEST of a rep from MattyCollector. Also, since when does tape get cut during shipping? I understand minor bumps and bruises, but tape getting cut? All the tape? I cannot stress enough, we purchased stuff to be in a SEALED package, not opened. I also plan on keeping one MISB and I don't think that is too crazy or that mattel should alienate all the MISB collectors.
Oh and I said I would return merchandise that I get that is opened and I would, because I payed for MISB not an opened box. It has nothing to do with not getting the variant I am not a whinny 12 year old.

Mattel charging you 3 times has nothing to do with anything I said. Not even close.
You calling 3 times, has NOTHING to do with anything I said.
Needless to say a lot of people who continually hassle CS and speak to a different CS rep every time they call are more than likely complicating their own problems and in some cases accidentally canceling their own orders.
But that has nothing to do with you. Obviously you didn't fit into the catagory of people I was speaking of, so I'm not sure why you responded. You must not have read correctly.
One Story.....Horatio HellPop had his order cancelled
I understand shipping accidents happen but this was not the case. This was blatant tampering.
I had plans on opening one, keeping one Mint, and giving one to a friend. Oh yeah, I could easily open one now, but the whole Mint thing is out the window and I refuse to hand over a already opened one to a friend (not sure what he wants to do with it).
I paid for a sealed package, I got an opened one. I actually really don't care how or why it happened...it just happened. So,I'm sending it back, that's pretty much it.

A 35-year-old man was arrested for allegedly raping the 12-year-old student of his wife at Shaheed Bhagat Singh Nagar on Pakhowal Road on Wednesday.
The accused has been identified as Sukhlal Singh, a resident of Shaheed Bhagat Singh Nagar, Pakhowal road.
In her complaint, the victim's mother, a resident of Dhandhran, alleged that her daughter used to take stitching classes from Sukhlal's wife.
On Wednesday, when her daughter went for her stitching classes, the teacher was not there. In her absence, her husband raped her daughter and fled the spot. Later, the girl returned to her house and narrated the matter to her mother, who approached the Salem Tabri police.
Inspector Amrinder Singh, station house officer (SHO), Salem Tabri police station, said the police arrested the accused immediately after lodging an FIR.

Youth workers in David Cameron's constituency will go on strike today in protest at cuts to their services.
The 24-hour stoppage comes just a week after the Prime Minister visited an award-winning youth centre near his Witney home to launch the "fightback" against rioters.
Mr Cameron spoke at a youth centre called Base 33, run by a charity which is not affected by local-authority cuts. But youth workers were incensed that he made no mention of county-council cuts to local services.
Unite, the union which represents youth workers, said yesterday that five centres in the Witney area were to be closed as a result.
Oxfordshire said that of its 26 youth centres, 13 would stay open as "early-intervention centres" delivering a range of services to young people. A further nine would receive funding from a new "Big Society" fund.
Mike Beal, Unite branch chairman, said those who took jobs in the early-intervention centres would no longer be youth workers. "They will be dealing with vulnerable people and their problems," he said. "We're not against that. In fact, we do that already, but the whole point of the youth service is it is open access to everyone, and it won't be under the new set-up."

Isn't Jack Cafferty just a liberal Rush Limbaugh?
I value Rush's opinion about just as much as Howard Stern's. He is a back-woods honky-tonk, redneck in a suite with a microphone.
Lately CNN has been telling us what's on Rush Limbaugh's mind quite a bit. Please stop peddling this discredited, racist liar's thoughtless comments. One more quote from Limbaugh on CNN and I'll never watch or read CNN.
This type of commentary is destructive and shameful. Ever wonder why America seems to be going down the tubes at a rather rapid pace? The power of ranting right wing words and the power of hate on the airwaves are being used to undermine all of us!
Listen up, stand up and speak out for an America of inclusion, innovation and positive values...not this garbage.
Who cares what Limbaugh says anyway! The man is a right wing attack dog, in it for strictly the money. I can't recall a single event when he has been credible with his comments. Why folks continue to listen to this dude is beyond me!
William Day

What blatant raciest/sexist comments to make. Rush Limbaugh is a blight on the Republican face. When will people turn this bigot off?
Another idiotic statement from Rush. Who really cares about what he says?
who is rush limbaugh?
You pompous, holier-than -thou windbag !!!!!! Take one of your many pain pills ............ OOOOps !!! That`s right, sorry, you`re no longer a DRUG ADDICT !!!!!!!!!!!!!
In my humble opinion, CNN is more conservative than, say, Washington Post. This may be why CNN likes to report on what Rush Limbaugh had said all the time.
I wonder why Bob Greene doesn't write for CNN any more.
My comments to his postings were never posted, but he writes like no others... I miss his short interesting stories on seemingly uninteresting things. He has got the imagination and the pen for it.
Why is someone still letting this came spew his hate on national airtime?!?!?!
And it amazes my that Americans are so appalled at the bad rep that we have overseas...its because of bigotted idiots like Rush!
He's an idiot. If these two ran on the same ticket they would slaughter McCain.
That is a very racist and sexist comment. I would hope that the American people view each candidate on their merits and not by their skin color or their gender.
Im surprised people are still paying attention to CNN which has been irrelevant for years.
While Rush is going that way too... he is more relevant than most democrats ...
One fine day soon mindless Republican mouth pieces such as Limbaugh will be gone, into limbo, to be joined by the likes of Coulter, Savage and a host of useless right wing hate mongers. Good riddance.
John Edwards will be the running mate of whoever gets the nomination. I hate to say it, but the Dems need a white man on the ticket because there are just enough ignorant bigots out there who agree with Rush.
I think people like Rush is the problem with this country now.
I don't care who you are he knocks them . I think Rush maybe back on his medications.
I'm no McCain supporter, but thank goodness that he's not a Limbaugh republican. I find it hard to believe that he and his other conservative talk show hosts believe the words that come out of their mouths. Antiquated 19th century cultural ideas have no place in today's society. Rush come join the 21st century America where hate and prejudice have not place.
CNN, this is just FYI, not a post.
Your previous article headline is "Clinton leads Obama in Texas caucuses count". The article then states that Obama leads in the count 56% to 44% with 40% reporting. You need to correct whichever is wrong.
Funny that Rush the viagra-popping, just got back from the Dominican Republic for unknown purposes doesn't give any reasoning behind his premise "they don't have a prayer" comment. Typical Republicant – make statements w/o facts. He knows McCrypt can't stop one of the top Democratic candidates, let alone both of them.
I for one can't wait to see McCan't get McPist and have a hissy about it.
If I love myself Limbaugh and Hannity bump heads, the implosion would suck all the air out of the room..............
You know what is funny? All you people who say that Rush is "irrelevant" and that "no one cares", but then you took the time to not only read what he had to say, but to respond to it as well. Doesn't sound too irrelevant to me!
reality is if HC gets to be pres this country will suffer the problems that she will bring... that most democrats have brung us -pre-clintons.
Why is CNN ever quoting this blow hard?
Limbaugh should come out of the closet already and admit he's an "UNDERCOVER" democrat.

Englishtown Historical Committee
Lori Cooke
History of the BoroughThe earliest record we have of Englishtown is that James Johnston, an Englishman, owned property in the area in 1688. Sometime before 1730 the English family came to Monmouth County and purchased a large tract of fertile land which was named Englishtown after the family.
During the Battle of Monmouth on June 28, 1778, Englishtown was the headquarters for the American Army. The Village Inn (pictured here), which was built in 1726, was headquarters for General Charles Lee who commanded the army of nearly 5,000 men. In the dining room of this inn, General Washington and Lord Stirling drew up the court martial papers citing Lee for his conduct during and after the battle. The inn served as a stage-coach stop offering food and lodging to the weary travelers between the cities of New York and Philadelphia. In later years it was renowned for it's excellent cuisine.
The night after the battle General Washington and his officers were invited to the home of Moses Laird to partake of a special "collation" prepared by his wife and daughters. This house is now the Hulse Memorial Home, Main Street, which was built by Moses Laird as a two room tavern before the revolution.
In 1777 one of the Monmouth County's main roads ran from Monmouth Court House, now Freehold, to Englishtown and on into Middlesex County. Because Englishtown was on a main highway it became a trading center for the surrounding country side.In the middle of the eighteen hundreds and early nineteen hundreds, Englishtown was a busy, prosperous country town. Many of the houses in town were built in the later part of the eighteen hundreds, and a few remain that were built in the seventeen hundreds. One of these is believed to be the old Municipal Building which originally was a tavern. On March 10, 2000, the old town hall was demolished to make way for a pocket park.

Municipal Government
Englishtown is a borough form of government which is most prevalent among the 566 municipalities in the State of New Jersey. The governing body is composed of a mayor, elected for a four year term, and six councilpersons, elected for three year terms.
The mayor retains a veto power over certain resolutions and ordinances, presides over all meetings, and is permitted to vote only in the event of a tie.
The six councilpersons under the Borough Act possess most of the power and, accordingly, usually perform most executive and legislative functions. The Mayor usually divides the council into a number of standing committees, each with chairperson and co-chairperson, encompassing specialized categories depending upon the needs of the borough.
For additional information, see the section of the Borough Council page.

The Pitch is a great bike for a beginner. Is not too pricy (in bike terms) and it's fun to ride. I would recommend this bike to anyone who wants to get into the sport.
Best Uses
i like to get off the road bike a couple of times per week.get out and ride sans "serious" cycling attire.like to hit the bike trail w/running shoes,cool max T-shirt,non padded shorts and just ride hard for an hour to hour and a half like when i was a kid and rode for the pure joy of it.i really miss that feeling.sure it's heavier than my carbon fiber road bike,but it costs a whole lot less and gives as much if not more pure riding enjoyment and after all,isn't that what we all ride for anyway?

Bengal Nose - a comparison between a good nose and an affected nose - photo copyright Helmi Flick
Bengal Nose refers to a condition, which is a dry, crackly nose leather reported by breeders and in a research paper. It is not as far as I am aware a medical term. The nose leather (for people not in the cat fancy) is the end of the nose for a cat. Some breeders think the condition is caused by an incorrect diet in which there is a shortage of Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs). In that case rubbing vitamin E oil on the nose alleviates the condition. At least one vet diagnosed it as a food allergy, which was cleared up by a change in diet incorporating a different protein level.
However, a research article emanating from Sweden tells a different story. Diet may be a factor but there are other causes. There is also the question as to whether this condition is inherited from the Asian Leopard cat, the wild cat ancestor to the Bengal cat. For the time being, it is the research paper that tells us something about this disease. Perhaps more work is required? Or more cat breeder input.
The research was self funded and is entitled, "A novel ulcerative nasal dermatitis of Bengal cats" - Author: K. Bergvall. The author refers to the condition as a unique dermatitis that affects Swedish Bengal cats. It, in fact, seems to affect non-Swedish Bengal cats too. The work was carried out on 48 cats over the period 1999-2003. This is many years ago and it surprises me that it has only now being talked about. Perhaps I (and others) were unaware of it but breeders (or some breeders) were aware of it and didn't discuss it. How prevalent is it? Not sure, but of the 48 cats presented to the researcher 6 had crusts, fissures, erosions and ulcers of the nasal planum. That represents 12.5% of the total. The current percentage may be lower. Planum means "A plane or flat surface". Nasal means "pertaining to the nose". That doesn't exactly tell me the area we are talking about but as it is the nose leather (info from breeders - above) it must refer to the flat surface at the end of the cat's nose.
The condition was found to start at 4 months to 1 year of age. Antibiotics did not work. Salicylic acid improved the lesions in one of two cats treated. Prednisolone (a synthetic steroid similar to hydrocortisone - it is used as and anti-inflammatory drug and is a immunosuppressive drug) proved effective in curing one cat and partially cured another. Steroids are, as far as I am aware, a last resort in treatments as they can cause side effects. Some breeders wouldn't consider steroids to be suitable to control this condition, for an otherwise healthy kitten.
The most successful drug in treating "Bengal Nose" was Tacrolimus ointment. This is an immunosuppressive drug used with corticosteroids to prevent the rejection of transplanted organs in humans. This drug decreased the lesions in 4 cats. Lesion means "discontinuity of tissue". In this case it means that the nose leather is not cut but made up of broken tissue as a result of the condition.
The researcher speculated that it was an inherited disease and one linked to the immune system of the cat. Cat breeding cat lead to defective immune systems and higher levels of ill health in purebred cats. It is well known that purebreds generally live shorter lives that Moggies, on average. Inbreeding depression is a description of immune system malfunction or an immune system not working to full effect. Bengal Nose may be linked, therefore, to inbreeding in Bengal cats but this is pure speculation by me. It is, though, recognized that the Bengal breed has been developed from a small number of founding individual cats. Also the fact that the problem has no known environmental or dietary cause (i.e. it cuts across a variety of circumstances) and does not respond well to usual medication except as described above indicates a genetic illness.
There is no reference to it in Cat Owner's Home Veterinary Handbook, Fully Revised and Updated, a recommended book.
It there anyone who can shed light on Bengal Nose?

In the last 90 days, 0 listings have been posted online, which means office spaces might be going fast. You'll want to be prepared to make an offer immediately. About NaN% of the listings in the Bell Court are subleases, so you will probably have to consider a longer term lease. There aren't many listings below 2,000 square feet posted, so finding a space for a small business might be tough.
The standard measurement for office space in this area is around sqft. Most buildings in this area were built in 1968 and are Class B.
Not much of the real estate is used for commercial space, so it might be hard to find office space. Public administration is the dominant industry in this area. Most of the folk of Bell Court work from home. Commuting approximately 20 minutes a day is the norm for those who opt to reside in this part of town.

New Collections Highlight Female African American Lawyers
The University of Maryland School of Law�s Thurgood Marshall Law Library, a leading resource documenting the development of the African American legal community in Maryland and its role in shaping American law, has announced the release of two new collections. The "Lena Lee Collection" and the "Constance Baker Motley Collection." Both archival collections lend insight into the careers of two of the mid-20th Century�s most influential female African American lawyers.
The collections are part of the Law Library�s larger
"African Americans in the Law Collection,"
a national leader in the digitization of original letters, photos, organizational records, and other original manuscripts reflecting the unique challenges and exceptional contributions of African American legal practitioners.
"The civil rights story has been told so well already that we try not to focus on that aspect as much as we seek to record the day-to-day transactional nature of the late 19th and 20th century African American practitioner," says Bill Sleeman, who coordinates special collection activities for the Library. "How was it that these men and women were able to build successful practices and careers in an environment that did not want them to succeed?"
The Lena Lee Collection
Lena Lee, a 1951 graduate of the University of Maryland School of Law, was only the third woman to graduate from the Law School where she was a classmate and friend of civil rights leader Juanita Jackson Mitchell. Lee went on to become a successful practitioner, state legislator and local activist. During her political career she was a tireless supporter of legislation and programs to support women and minorities. Until Lee�s death at 100 her home was a required stop for any politician seeking to make his or her mark in Baltimore, a fact reflected in the many letters and telegrams seeking her advice or support in planning a political campaign.
The Constance Baker Motley Collection
Constance Baker Motley was the first African American woman elected to the Senate in New York. In 1966 she became, following her appointment by President Johnson, the first African American woman appointed to a federal court. Motley may be most famous though for her work as an attorney on behalf of the civil rights movement and the NAACP, where she was initially hired as a clerk to Thurgood Marshall. Motley was the author of the original complaint in the Brown v. Board of Education case and went on to win a number of important civil rights cases before the United States Supreme Court.
For access to the Lena Lee or Constance Baker Motley Collection, or anything else in the Law Library�s African Americans in the Law Collection, please contact Bill Sleeman, Assistant Director for Technical Services at 410-706-0783 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Stop saying huh. It's quite annoying. This is a traditional Jamaican folk song not some silly kids song or a joke. This is our culture.

Top Shop coming to New Zealand
(All pictures from topshop.com)
I just found out that UK store Top Shop is opening in New Zealand this month! I am really excited. The Department Store mall in Takapuna will be home to one of the most successful retailers in the world and it's only an hour or so's drive from where I live, so I definitely plan on making a visit. We have a pretty limited selection of good stores in New Zealand so I am betting this is going to be extremely popular. No word yet on the exact date of it's opening but I will keep you posted.

Radiator Fan Switch--which way to go?
I installed a temp sensor on the water outlet that triggers the radiator fan at a certain temperature. The unit has not been very dependable and I am told these units have their problems. Has anyone used any particular sensor that gives dependable performance? I would like something that switches the fan on at around 185-195 degrees and does not use a radiator probe, if I can avoid it. There are a lot on the market, just not sure which one works best.
Sponsored Links | |||
Painless Wiring makes a kit that includes the temp. sensor, a relay and a circuit breaker.
The temp. sensors are available in (2) temperature ranges. Turn on at 200* and off at 185* or Turn on at 185* and off at 170*. A relay is required to handle the high current required for the fan motor. Make sure the coolant thermostat rating is LOWER than the OFF rating the temp. sensor. A 180* thermostat for the 185* sensor or a 160* thermostat for the 170* sensor. The temp. sensor should be installed in the cylinder head or the intake manifold to work correctly. Vicrod |
older pontiac 6000's used a relay that supplied power to the fan at all times and then used the coolant sensor for ground,that way the fan could work when needed and was easy to figure out and test.
the stock sensor didn't come in until about 230 degrees though so another colder sensor might be in order. |
I have used the following (avail from Summit Racing) for several years and it has been flawless. Completely adjustable. Contains everything you need to hook up your fan including the relay, pre-wired temp probe (intake mainfold), and inline fuse. Also has a lead from the relay unit which will let you override the thermostat to turn on your fan - hook it up either to a switch on the dash or your 12v pos lead on your a/c clutch to force the fan on when the a/c goes on.

After close to 48 minutes of near-perfect defensive execution, one slip up at a crucial time nearly cost the Clippers a win.

Google Insights for Search
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Google Insights)
Google Insights for Search was a service by Google similar to Google Trends,[1] providing insights into the search terms people use in the Google search engine. Unlike Google Trends, Google Insights for Search provides a visual representation of regional interest on a country's map. It displays top searches and rising searches that may help with keyword research. Results can be narrowed down with categories that are displayed for each search terms.
Term order is important in searches, and that different results will be found if keywords are placed in a different order.[2]
On September 27, 2012, Google Insights for Search was closed and merged into Google Trends again.[3]
