No Yu-Gi-Oh! figure collection is ever complete without the one and only Seto Kaiba! Following the release of Yami Yugi (reviewed) in the ArtFX J line, Kaiba is out in the wild and ready to fight. It's his turn to shine in the spotlight.
Kaiba is in full action pose with a fierce expression and one of those back-breaking stances I always snicker at the MegaHouse P.O.P. line for. I'm not saying it's bad, I'm just saying you should try and stand with your pelvis dislocated forwards for a few minutes and then you might see what I mean.
Back to our regular programming, though -- check out my full review after the jump!
Figure Name: ArtFX J Seto Kaiba
Figure Maker: Kotobukiya
Original Release: September 2012
Retail: ¥7,800
Available at: HobbyLink Japan | AmiAmi
Kaiba's box is absolutely huge. It got a little smushed in the mail as well, which obviously isn't Kotobukiya's fault.
The main reason why the box is so big is because of Kaiba's flow-y coat. It billows out quite a bit, so he takes up a whole lot of space, which made the tray and box bigger.
Beyond that, it's a nice box with plenty of graphics of Kaiba's confident/sometimes manic expression and a blue motif, which is a contrast to Yami Yugi's box. Even the inside is colored differently: Yugi's is gold and Kaiba's is silver.
Once you get him out in the fresh air, he's got his normal arms on and his hands are poised to slap some cards down. He looks a little bit silly without them, but I kept him like this for the initial turnaround shots. His base is also pretty much the same as Yugi's, so it's easy to create a cool diorama with the two of them facing off against each other.
Kaiba's coat has this weird bunched up, spiky thing going on at the waist. The figure is definitely an accurate representation of the way the character design looks, but I can't help but wonder how awkward would it be to cosplay Kaiba and try to keep your arms from messing that up, there? Unrelated, I know.
The coat has silver buttons and some Kaiba Corp. emblems, which are all painted very well. As Brian mentioned back when Kaiba went up for pre-order, he's gooped up in glossy paint for some extra shine, which I think looks great. I know some folks aren't fans, though, but rest assured it isn't too much gloss. It just gives the coat enough of a latex-y look to it to make the whole thing look fluid and give the figure more of a sense of motion.
He's got a necklace on, but it isn't independently molded so you can't pose it or move it around. In a way, this is a good thing -- no risk of breaking or losing it, unlike Yugi's which is on a free chain and can definitely be lost or broken if you aren't careful.
Kaiba's back is actually well-sculpted, and it's no surprise. The way his head is posed, he looks good from all angles, and particularly from behind so you get his eyes. Here, he's got more buttons/studs as well as a spiffy popped collar and some good shading which defines his back.
Kaiba's upper arms and his boots have these blue belts around them. Though these may look it, they aren't actually made out of any sort of bendy or leathery material, which is probably a good thing. We wouldn't want these straps sagging down over time, now would we?
Ah, his hands. Nice and clean, and they hold onto the cards rather well without having to force-wedge them in. The shading is nice and the etching for realism is greatly appreciated (nails, knuckle wrinkles, etc.).
The cards themselves are the same deal as Yugi's - they have the simple back design and the fronts are blank.
Once you do an arm swap, you can plug Kaiba's duel disk into his left arm while his right stays the same. It is pretty much the same accessory that's on Yugi's, the only difference being the angle at which the thing is perched on Kaiba's arm.
Once you've got all his accessories on, the ensemble is very fun. The image is complete - he's ready to wreck some fools.
As mentioned in earlier posts, Kaiba also does come with a freebie. Before getting to his face, I'll just drop this right here. Kaiba Corp. blimp keychain!
Alright, so Kaiba's face. The good and bad thing about Kaiba's face is you can't really see it clearly unless you hold him up over eye-level. It's good because it helps with the mood of the overall look, but I'll always kind of prefer that figures' faces aren't down-turned.
Kaiba has a dangerous look on his face, rather than the sort of permanent open-mouthed over-confident face like the one on the box. That's pretty much the perfect Kaiba reference right there as I remember him character-wise.
So, bottom line? If you're a fan of the character, I definitely recommend the ArtFX J figures. If you haven't watched the show or are indifferent, it's up to you whether this kind of figure really appeals to you. For someone that may not be familiar with the character or anything, Kaiba might seem slightly boring with the simple standing pose and a color scheme that ultimately doesn't stand out (particularly in my collection, which is rather colorful). This isn't a negative against Kotobukiya since, again, it's an honest and accurate representation of the character. Based on dynamism and looks alone, I'd take Yami over Kaiba, though (hypothetically).
But if you are a fan, it's so worth it to have both figures. I'll try and take some more pictures, and some of them together, in the near future as a separate gallery for you guys so you can see what I mean.
Thanks to Kotobukiya for providing Tomopop with this review sample! Kaiba is a beautifully crafted figure that pays perfect homage to the original source material and can be appreciated by the right collectors. He's far from sold out, so there's still plenty of time to snag one if you were still on the fence.Photo Gallery: (28 images)

AT&T contributes to HCC scholarshipsFunds will benefit veterans
AT&T announced it is contributing $1,000 to the general scholarship fund of Haywood Community College to support veterans seeking to expand or continue their education.
"Contributions like this make a tremendous difference for our students and their families," said HCC President Dr. Barbara Parker. "That is particularly true for students who are working full-time jobs, or who are re-training to re-enter the workforce. For many of our students, the opportunity to receive a scholarship is vital for their being able to continue their education."
Beverly Elliott, assistant to U.S. Congressman Mark Meadows for veteran affairs said she was especially pleased that scholarships funds were being made available to veterans.
"These men and women have given so much of themselves to serve our country," she said. "We owe them a tremendous debt of gratitude for their service and I am pleased that the community is supporting them as they seek to expand their education."
Believing that education is essential to personal and national economic success, AT&T has a tradition of supporting education. For example, in 2009 the company launched AT&T Aspire, an aggressive national initiative to tackle high school success and college and career readiness.
In addition, supporting American military personnel has long been part of AT&T's corporate heritage.
"For more than 85 years, we've been dedicated to supporting active military personnel, their families and veterans through charitable contributions, event and program sponsorships, to hiring military veterans and to maintaining policies that support reservists when they are called to active duty," said LaVoy Spooner, regional director for external affairs. "We are pleased to be able to provide these scholarship funds as a token of our esteem for those who have worn the country's uniform."
AT&T and 11 other companies are participating in the 100,000 Jobs Mission, the JP Morgan Chase initiative to hire 100,000 veterans and transitioning military service members by the end of 2020. The company has been named to the Top 100 Military Friendly Employers List by G.I. Jobs for eight years. To find out more about AT&T's military programs, visit www.att.com/troopsupport.
HCC offers more than 50 programs of study with unique programs such as fish and wildlife technology, forest management, and professional crafts programs of clay, fiber, jewelry and wood.

Case Western Reserve University faculty member Matthew Sobel has joined a team of international scientists calling for better forecasting methods in predicting how climate changes will impact the earth's plant and animal species. They have reported eight ways to improve biodiversity forecasting in the BioScience article, "Forecasting the Effects of Global Warming on Biodiversity."
Sobel, the William E. Umstattd Professor at the Weatherhead School of Management, began consciously tithing a portion of his research time 40 years ago to critical environmental concerns at time when those issues were not fashionable in most of academia.
In addition to predictions about global changes, the researchers also want better forecasting to unravel "the Quaternary conundrum," which is evidence suggesting that many of the estimated 1.5 million species on earth are in danger of extinction from global warming, yet over the past 2.5 million years little extinction is documented in the fossil record.
"The simultaneous widespread and justified alarm over global warming and changes in biodiversity has induced both outstanding scientific research and deplorable pseudoscientific work," said Sobel.
Sobel raises concerns about the "blurring" of scientific fact with public advocacy and wants public discussions to center around sound environmental facts.
"Where the science has limitations that should be noted, too," added Sobel.
His concern is that misinformation or poorly constructed forecasts may divert and reduce resources that could be better spent in other areas.
Limits of scientific knowledge exist with current forecasting models, according to Sobel, and these need to be acknowledged when reporting global warming.
The concern for accurate information and reporting resulted in the article's lead authors--Daniel Botkin from the University of California at Santa Barbara and Henrik Saxe from the Danish Environmental Assessment Institute in Copenhagen--to convene a meeting of scientists from the United States, Spain, Denmark, the United Kingdom and Australia in 2004 in Denmark.
Instead of engaging in "a war of words" to set the record straight where misconceptions exist in the global warming discussion, Sobel said the group reached a consensus to come up with prediction tools that "do it right."
In the BioScience article, the researchers call for eight steps to better forecasting:
Sobel's interest in the environment stems from his work with the U. S. Public Health Service in the 1960s when he worked on a project that followed a proposal by the Army Corps of Engineers to close off the Delaware River when tidal surges from hurricanes threatened the water systems of Delaware, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Practices developed from that project have since been adopted worldwide.
Other contributors to the BioScience article are: Miguel Arujo from the Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales in Spain; Richard Betts, Met Office Hadley Center in Exeter, U.K.; Richard Bradshaw from the University of Liverpool (U.K.); Tomas Cedhagen, Aarhus University, Denmark; Peter Chesson, University of Arizona; Terry Dawson, University of Edinburgh, Scotland; Julie Etterson, University of Minnesota; Daniel Faith, Australian Museum, Australia; Simon Ferrier, New South Wales Department of Environment and Conservation, Australia; Antoine Guisan, University of Lausanne, Switzerland; Chris Margules, Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization, Australia; David Hilbert, CSIRO Tropical Forest Research Centre, Australia; Craig Loehle, National Council for Air and Stream Improvement, Illinois; Mark New, Oxford University, U.K.; and David Stockwell, University of California, Santa Barbara.

Worth The Weight (The Worth Series Book 1:The Nice One) (edition 2012)
by Mara Jacobs
Work details
Worth The Weight by Mara Jacobs
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Elizabeth was not a fly by the seat of your pants girl. She was a planner and if all the little notepads had anything to do with it, she planned everything. Right down to the last detail of her new life. Lose weight, find ex boyfriend, screw ex boyfriend, move on with new man. I loved this cute little story of a woman's struggle with her self esteem and body issues. It's a never ending battle for some women and it's good to know that there are men out there who will work to help their women overcome that issue.
A great story about change and obsession and love that surpasses the outside. Ms. Jacobs does a nice job weaving these deep topics in a lighter novel. The only thing that confused me at times was the time line of how things were happening. Oh and - I can't stop thinking about how the main character kept her weight off when the author never had her working out. For some reason, that disturbs me. . .

A campaign targeting motorists who run red or orange lights or fail to follow road rules at intersections started in Hamilton yesterday to try and prevent further crashes.
Operation Red Eye, run by police and Hamilton City Council, was timed to coincide with the return of students to school.
"It's all about preventing road trauma, only last week we had an elderly lady lose her life in a crash at the intersection of State Highway 26 and Ruakura Rd and on Christmas Day a female passenger was killed in an intersection crash at the intersection of Hamilton's Te Rapa Rd and Wairere Dr," said Hamilton Strategic Traffic Unit Sergeant Phil Ruddell.
Fatal intersections in the Waikato last year included crashes at the intersections of Kaipaki Rd and Cambridge Rd, at the intersection of State Highway 26 and Tauwhare Rd and State Highways 3 and 37 at Waitomo.
Motorists were being reminded "intersections can be dangerous places to be if you're not paying attention," said Mr Ruddell.
Of the crashes in Hamilton, 31 per cent can be attributed to drivers turning right into the path of other car and 37 per cent involve vehicles running into the rear of one in front of the.
Mr Ruddell said his staff deal with dozens of such incidents every month.
Weather conditions at this time of year and high numbers of children kids returning to school brought additional challenges to drivers.
"There's less light and more rain to deal with and motorists have had a couple of weeks without the risk of school children darting out in front of them. What we're asking is for motorists to drive to survive and work to avoid hefty insurance claims, or infringement notices."

Halloween Specials Countdown - Day 02
(The Scenario - 152)
Recently you get transferred to Japan on a good job. You get a work permit there. The company you work for is very good. You need to catch the subway train to get to office. After a few weeks you get used to the crowded train travel.
Today was a hectic day. You had to work overtime and leave office quite late. Its almost 10 at night.
To top it you have a headache. You drink some fruit juice and have something to eat before you get on the train.
You notice the train is running empty. You go to sit down on the nearest seat. Someone bumps against you violently and you turn to look angrily at the person.
Then you see the above guy with a knife in his hand. You only have a newspaper to defend yourself if he fights you.
What do you say? What do you do?

Beet-potato-carrot salad with pickles and capers
This hearty dish is an interesting answer to the question, "What is a salad?" It hails from the Ukraine and Russia, known there as venegret. Sturdy root vegetables are boiled, then combined with oil, onion, and sour pickles and served cold or room temperature.
Smoky butternut squash soup
I love autumn, because it's when squash starts showing up at the markets. And butternut squash is a comfort food from way back, when my mom used to buy the frozen blocks of it, then serve it with salt, pepper, and a pool of melty margarine.

Gold Humanism Honor Society

BUSM Chapter of the Gold Humanism Honor Society
The Boston University School of Medicine Chapter of the Gold Humanism Honor Society (GHHS) was founded in 2006 with support from the Arnold P. Gold Foundation. The BUSM chapter is part of the Arnold P. Gold Foundation's larger national GHHS that recognizes and supports humanistic exemplars in medicine. Since 2006, over 250 medical students, residents, and faculty members have been inducted into the GHHS BUSM chapter by peer nomination. Election to GHHS membership constitutes a significant honor, comparable to being selected to AOA.
BUSM's Chapter Namesake
The GHHS at BUSM was founded in honor of Robert F. Russell, M.D., BUSM Class of 1946, who served in the US Navy (1946-1950) and entered general practice in 1950. Dr. Russell settled in Castine, Maine and served the region of Penobscott Bay for over 30 years as a general practitioner, surgeon, and chief medical officer, Maine Maritime Academy.
Dr. Russell was quoted as saying:
- "I brought medicine to people's homes and they became my friends as well as my patients."
- "Make the best of what you have. Be creative and try different approaches."
- "Rely on yourself, and rush to assist others."
- "Laugh when you can- particularly if there is nothing else you can do."
- "Friends are family."
- "Ask why not as often as possible."
- "Keep going, you'll survive."
- "There's something new and funny and warm in every day."
Nomination and Induction Process
In March of each year, third-year B.U. medical students are asked to nominate their peers and BMC residents for induction into GHHS. After votes are tallied, those students who receive the top 20% of votes from their peers are asked to complete an essay that is reviewed by the GHHS BUSM committee. The essay asks student nominees to answer the following questions:
- How do you exemplify the characteristics of the GHHS (provide examples)?
- If you are selected to be a member of GHHS, how will you help to promote compassionate, patient-centered care at our institution?
Based on these personal essays, committee members make the final determination regarding membership into the GHHS BUSM chapter. Those students inducted into the BUSM chapter are regarded as leaders, role models, and agents of change in the field of medicine, and they are expected to participate in chapter activities at BUSM. A formal induction ceremony is held in the spring and includes the traditional pinning ceremony. About 20-25 students are inducted yearly.
|Voting is now open for class-of-2016 students until March 23, 2015.
Use the form below.
Gold Humanism Honor Society Peer Nomination Form
Using the 5 questions listed below as a guide, name up to eight classmates and three residents who meet the criteria for nomination into the Gold Humanism Honor Society [student/resident demonstrates exceptional clinical competence, interpersonal skills, and a humanistic approach to the practice of medicine and community service]. Provide examples of each nominee's humanistic behavior; this info must be given in order for nominations to be considered.
- Who best personifies the quote "the secret of good patient care lies in caring for the patient"? Why?
- Who would you like to have by your side during a medical emergency? Why?
- Who has shown exceptional interest in service to their communities? How?
- Who would you want as a doctor for yourself or a loved one? Why?
- Who has the best listening skills with patients? Why?

Bloomfield, NE
This undiscovered artist began her career in 2004 with her introduction to fractal art. While Lea has a fine appreciation of most forms of art, her chosen medias are fractals and writing.
In Lea's gallery you will find art that will evoke emotions; joy, happiness, peace, harmony and perhaps sadness. There are many feelings and different atmospheres associated with fractal art, in those whose feelings are more finely tuned.
Art is the expression of life as seen through the eyes of the artist, the spirit, if you will; regardless of the media used for that expression.
For those not familiar with the artform of fractals, below you will find information that may be of interest.
Fractal art is a form of algorithmic art created by calculating fractal objects and representing the calculation results as still images, animations, and media. Fractal art developed from the mid 1980s onwards. It is a genre of computer art and digital art which are part of new media art. The Julia set and Mandlebrot sets can be considered as icons of fractal art.
Fractal art is not drawn or painted by hand. It is usually created indirectly with the assistance of fractal-generating software, iterating through three phases: setting parameters of appropriate fractal software; executing the possibly lengthy calculation; and evaluating the product. In some cases, other graphics programs are used to further modify the images produced. This is called post-processing. Non-fractal imagery may also be integrated into the artwork
Fractal art could not have developed without computers because of the calculative capabilities they provide. Fractals are generated by applying iterative methods to solving non-linear equations or polynomial equations. Fractals are any of various extremely irregular curves or shapes for which any suitably chosen part is similar in shape to a given larger or smaller part when magnified or reduced to the same size

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
This was my first car paid for on my own.I noticed on the lot as I was browsing one day.So I stopped to check it.Right away I fell in love.The only thing bad about it was it had an exhaust leak and a crack in the muffler.3D motors financed me the car and writing said that these problems would be fixed and indeed a few days later they were.A week after getting the car my husband did a complete oil chanhe and put five quarts back into the car.The oil that came out was so black like it hadn`t been changed in months.On the 10th day of having the car I decided to drive to lake city to see my dying uncle in the hospital but I never made it.I made it to Ocala the car started making noice so I pulled off an ecit so my dad could check it out.We then realized the car was out of oil and this was 2 days after the oil change.I got back on the highway to head home and about 4 or 5 miles down the road my engine blew out from under my car.I had it towed home and upon arrival I went to get the money out but had a limit on my atm withdrawals so the towing company took the car back with them and are charging me for that too! 3D motors told me that was not their problem and were going to do nothing.This is about the worst thing that has ever happened to me and the worst customer service I have ever received! I need a lawyer a.s.a.p.!

if the oil was originally black then it was in the engine for a long time and the engine had no oil consumption issues, if it did have consumption issues it would be relatively clean.
i suspect whoever did the oil change left on the old oil filter gasket or failed to tighten the drain plug enough causing a leak and loss of oil.
anyway you continued to drive it with knowing there was no oil and blew it up.
cars cannot go very far with no oil maybe 2-4 miles if lucky. when you buy a car you buy the problems with it that why it says "AS IS" on the window.

Past Event
Marrow donor registry drive and reception
- Saturday, May 4, 2013, noon to 6 p.m.
- Steamboat Springs Community Center, 1605 Lincoln Ave., Steamboat Springs
- 18+ / Free - $30
Past Event
Soccer fundraiser
- Sunday, May 5, 2013, 9 a.m.
- Steamboat Springs High School, 45 Maple St., Steamboat Springs
- 18+ / Free - $20
Steamboat Springs Events this weekend in honor of a former Steamboat Springs resident aim to spread awareness of the national bone marrow registry.
Steamboat brothers Mark and Luke Dudley found out this week that they were not a match for their brother Dr. Matt Dudley, a former Steamboat resident now living in Alaska. In mid-March, Matt Dudley was diagnosed with acute myelogenous leukemia, a cancer of the blood and bone marrow.
Luke Dudley said knowing that makes this weekend's event all the more important. The brothers know there are a lot of other people in need of a bone marrow match.
"It's getting people on the registry," Dudley said. "That's the most important thing for us."
The Matches for Marrow registry event will be from noon to 6 p.m. Saturday at the Steamboat Springs Community Center. Dudley said the process takes 10 to 15 minutes, and no appointment is necessary. Participants ages 18 to 44 will swab their mouths, and then the samples will be sent to Be the Match, a national bone marrow registry program.
Participants still have the choice of donating bone marrow if they are matched. Find more information about the donation process here.
After the registry drive, a reception will be held in honor of Matt Dudley from 5 to 10 p.m. at the community center. There will be a silent auction, music, drinks and food donated by local restaurants. There is a suggested donation of $20 for the reception.
"That's just a suggestion," Luke Dudley said. "We just want people to show up."
Funds raised will be split between Be the Match and Matt Dudley's family to help with expenses. Donations also may be made at Wells Fargo by giving to the Matches for Marrow fund.
The fundraising continues Sunday with a seven-on-seven soccer tournament for those 18 and older starting at 9 a.m. at Gardner Field at Steamboat Springs High School. Luke Dudley said the tournament was a good way to honor his brother because he grew up playing soccer in Steamboat.
"In addition, soccer is a sport that brings people together from all walks of life and all types of backgrounds," Dudley said. "This aligns well with one of our main goals of the event, which is to try and register people to the national marrow registry that have diverse racial and ethnic heritage."
About 35 people have signed up for the tournament, and a few slots remain. Coed teams will be selected randomly. A $20 donation is suggested. People interested in playing should email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Portal 2 wouldn't be a Valve game without multiple, painful delays. Just when anticipation for a February release was beginning to take hold, Valve announces a two month delay. The release date for Portal 2 is now officially April 20, 2011 — and hopefully it won't be changing again.
While consumers and developers are both likely unsurprised, the delay must have been a hard decision for Valve to make. Portal 2 is undoubtedly one the most highly anticipated games of 2011, if not the decade, and there's like nothing Valve likely wants more than for people to play their game. It has been over three years since the original Portal and Half-Life: Episode 2 were released (feels more like ten), and while Left 4 Dead has been amazing in the meantime it's hardly a replacement.
At least everyone can keep a sense of humor about the scenario:
"Valve today announced that Portal 2 — the sequel to the ground-breaking title that won over 30 game of the year awards, despite missing its original ship date — will now be available the week of April 18th, 2011. This two month slip not only marks the shortest delay in Valve's proud tradition of delays, it represents the approaching convergence of Valve Time and Real Time. Though this convergence spells doom for humanity, it will not affect the new Portal 2 release date."
While Valve's ultimate role in the doom of humanity is still unclear, it will likely coincide with the improbable release of Half Life: Episode 3. Take heart that this will not be occurring soon.
As much as Valve likes to joke about 'Valve Time', the delays very likely has much more grounded causes. With the flurry of delays leading into the 2010 holiday season, early 2011 is beginning to look like a very crowded release slot. Perhaps the delay also has to do with Valve's schedule of announcements, after all they have a number of surprises lined up for the coming months.
February release or April release, Portal 2 is looking to be game of the year material. With a full campaign and cooperative campaign, each said to be around four times as long as the original Portal, come release day will be a glorious day for all gamers.
What are your thoughts, Ranters? Are you frustrated by Valve's constant delays or are you willing to accept it so long as Valve continues to maintain a high standard of quality? Any conspiracy theories to explain the two month delay?
Portal 2 is scheduled for release on April 20, 2011 in North America and Australia, and April 22 in Europe. Portal 2 is coming to PC, Mac, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 platforms.

|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
It wasn't exactly a good day for the Celtics. They lost their second game in a row, this time to the 76ers in Philly, 89-86. Boston is only half a game above Chicago in the standings, but has clinched some playoff spot (along with the Bulls, Heat and Spurs); Chicago is the only team to clinch a division so far. Minnesota and Sacramento are out.
Philly opened the scoring 1:36 into the game, but it was very close for a while. Until 5:14 left in the 1st, no team led by more than two, but Andre Iguodala's three put Philly up four. Philadelphia opened up the lead to as many as eight after a 1:37 scoreless streak for both teams, but Boston clawed their way to only a three-point hole by quarter's end.
The 76ers slipped a tad out of the gate, but quickly put the lead back up to seven, and then eight with 6:40 remaining in the half. And nine with 5:22 left. But Boston, not to be deterred just yet, cut the lead to 43-41 with 2:50 left, and after some back-and-forth, Philadelphia settled their lead at 49-45 at the half.
As is sadly the case too often, Boston couldn't keep their play going, and Philadelphia acquired their first double-digit lead 4:51 into the 3rd. Boston halved the deficit, and finally managed to tie the game at 66 with 2:44 left in the frame, but Philly held them off, and reopened a four-point lead heading into the last quarter.
Boston's six-point run shortly into the quarter, coupled with a 3:59 scoreless streak for the Sixers, gave Boston their first lead since 10-9. But some quick back-and-forth firmly put the game in Philadelphia's hands. Towards the end, Boston had a streak of 6:20 without a field goal, with only three free throws in the middle. That complete lack of a finish gave the Sixers the opportunity they needed to pick up the win.
The big man scored 16, but more importantly pulled down a muscular 15 rebounds, four on the offensive end. Way to keep Boston in it.
In 19:39, Sasha had just two point, two rebounds, two assists, and while we're at it, two fouls. For that kind of time, he had an extremely flat stat line.

Rallies against gun control laws held in Austin, Santa Fe
Gun right advocates in Texas and New Mexico gathered at their respective Capitols Saturday.
Rallies were held across the United States as part of a loosely organized campaign by gun rights advocates. The campaign began via social media.
According to KOB-TV a local organizers in Santa Fe, Josh Kennedy, says the group is against a proposed ban on assault-rifles. He also said the rally is attempting to show residents that gun owners aren't criminals.
A similar event was scheduled on the steps of the Capitol in Austin.
Among those scheduled to attend was first-term Rep. Steve Toth, a Republican from the Woodlands.
Toth previously introduced a bill seeking to ban any federal prohibition on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines on a state level.
People began confirming that they would attend the Austin event several days ago. Some attendees have been encouraged to bring their guns to the rally.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
in applied for diassability from ss in june of 2007 i finnaly got it my attorney won my third appeal for me
Congratulations! That SSI can be hard to come by sometimes. And I know this is a huge burden off your shoulders.
If you haven't gotten your first check yet and need money, contact your local SS office. Take in your letter of approval and they can cut you a check for up to but not including $1000. So basically you can get $999.00. It will come out of your back pay but at least it will be some money until your checks start coming.
My DH is on it but he was approved immediately. Minus one leg, six discs, has cadaver bone fused to 7 vertebre, a metal rod in one thigh bone and a large metal "ladder" holding his spine together. Not much of a way they could have denied him.

Reviews of this property
Thanks for your warm hospitality Elise, we had a very comfortable stay. Your apartment was in a good neighbourhood, close to transport and cafe's.
Elise is a very courteous, helpful and friendly hostess. The apartment is clean and comfortable, there was a warm atmosphere. Elise is always approachable for questions and provided us with great tips. Through you, we got to know areas of New York that are not in the guide books and were very enriching. The Subway is 5 minutes away, buses run almost on the doorstep, the bike shop is three blocks away and the Morningside Park and Central Park are quickly and easily reachable on foot. We can absolutely recommend Elise. The farewell was hard to us.
Elise ist eine sehr zuvorkommende,hilfsbereite und freundliche Gastgeberin. Die Wohnung ist sauber und gemütlich, es herrschte eine herzliche Atmosphäre. Elise ist für alle Fragen jederzeit ansprechbar und versorgte uns mit tollen Tipps. Durch Sie lernten wir Gebiete von New York kennen, die nicht im Reiseführer stehen und sehr bereichernd waren.
Die Subway ist 5 Minuten entfernt, Busse fahren fast vor der Haustüre, der Fahrradhändler ist drei Straßen entfernt und der Morningside Park sowie der Central Park sind zu Fuß schnell und leicht erreichbar.
Wir können Elise absolut empfehlen. Der Abschied fiel uns schwer.
Comfortable room with a very friendly host, close to the subway.
Chambre confortable avec une hôte très sympathique, situé à proximité du métro.

She is such a great person and makes you feel right at home.

We had a fantastic time in Elise's apartment! It's a really cozy hut :-). Subway, Central Park and supermarket are only a few minutes away.
Every day began with a tasty breakfast - sponsored by "our busy bee" Elise! When we got back in the evenings, it always felt like coming home.
The second half of our stay Elise was with us and she's a great host - always friendly, funny and interested in making each day for us to the best day in NY!
Thank you Elise for the great unforgettable time in NY, especially Easter Sunday with you - everything was so amazing!
Our stay was a success! Elise is a lovely person, really makes you feel at home. He gave us lots of tips, very helpful. Who can speak Spanish is also very lucky, The house is very cozy and the location is perfect. To all of you who are looking for a house there, do not hesitate!

It was such a great time at Elise apartment. She helped us in all kinds of things, especially she gave us insider tipps. We liked her apartement and felt us like home. We will never forget the time at this apartment and of course in this exiting city. If we come back to New York City, we will definitely come back to Elise apartment :-)
We stayed at Elise's apartment for one week and even though she wasn't there we felt welcome and comfortable. We had the chance to live like real New Yorkers in our "own" apartment in Harlem. What a fun! Elise, thank you for everything, especially the bottle of red wine we tasted at New Year's Eve! Hope we will get to know you next time.
Cathleen and Torsten

Obama's DNI reminds Obama that "enhanced interrogation" worked
posted at 8:44 am on April 22, 2009 by Ed Morrissey
Barack Obama's top man in the intelligence community sent the President a memo defending the use of enhanced interrogation techniques, which the White House edited before releasing to the press de-emphasizing that defense. Dennis Blair, the Director of National Intelligence, pointed out that most of what we know about al-Qaeda came from using those techniques on Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and Abu Zubaydah, countering leaks last week from the Obama administration that claimed the methods produced no data:
President Obama's national intelligence director told colleagues in a private memo last week that the harsh interrogation techniques banned by the White House did produce significant information that helped the nation in its struggle with terrorists.
"High value information came from interrogations in which those methods were used and provided a deeper understanding of the al Qa'ida organization that was attacking this country," Adm. Dennis C. Blair, the intelligence director, wrote in a memo to his staff last Thursday.
Admiral Blair sent his memo on the same day the administration publicly released secret Bush administration legal memos authorizing the use of interrogation methods that the Obama White House has deemed to be illegal torture. Among other things, the Bush administration memos revealed that two captured Qaeda operatives were subjected to a form of near-drowning known as waterboarding a total of 266 times.
The New York Times, which got a copy of the memo, also notices some odd redactions from the version released by the White House:
Admiral Blair's assessment that the interrogation methods did produce important information was deleted from a condensed version of his memo released to the media last Thursday. Also deleted was a line in which he empathized with his predecessors who originally approved some of the harsh tactics after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
"I like to think I would not have approved those methods in the past," he wrote, "but I do not fault those who made the decisions at that time, and I will absolutely defend those who carried out the interrogations within the orders they were given."
In other words, the Obama administration covered up the fact that even their own DNI acknowledges that the interrogations produced actionable and critical information. When Dick Cheney demanded the release of the rest of the memos relating that information, he wasn't just going on a fishing expedition. Cheney filed a request to declassify those memos in March, and the CIA has yet to decide on his request, but we can no longer doubt that records exist showing the success of those interrogations.
Obama has occasionally suggested a truth-and-reconciliation approach to probing the use of torture by the Bush administration, but this establishes that Obama isn't terribly interested in "truth". Withholding the truth that waterboarding produced information that saved hundreds of American lives, perhaps thousands, shows that Obama values public relations more than he does the truth. He wants to argue that none of this was necessary to secure the nation against terrorist attacks. In order to make that argument, he redacted Blair's memo, including his defense of his predecessors, whom Blair acknowledges had to face some tough decisions to uncover plots against America.
Maybe Obama could learn a lesson from Blair in that regard.
We need to have an honest debate on interrogation techniques and securing America against attack from radical, committed terrorists. Conservatives should stop pretending that waterboarding isn't a form of torture that the US has opposed for decades when used abroad, especially against our own citizens. But everyone else should stop pretending that it doesn't work, and that we would have been safer without its use. The real question — the one Obama wanted to avoid in his cover-up of Blair's memo — is how many American lives is it worth to say we don't waterboard? Ten? A hundred? Three thousand? Fifty thousand, the intended result of 9/11 and presumably the Second Wave waterboarding stopped?

Hi All, just a quick question, i have a 99 wrx wagon standard turbo, sti 440cc injectors, sti top mount 3" exhaust system and a ssqv bov. recently i got my boost turned upto 13.88psi and it measured in at 146.1kw at the wheels which didnt seem right to me as the standard kw rating is meant to be higher than that. i couldnt say much as you cant really argue with a dyno figure. any body else think that this figure seems abit low? also before i got the boost turned up it was running 10.4psi and measured in at 129.5kw at the wheels.
was tested on a dynapack chassis dyno.

In the morning I set off on a dirt track, heading in the opposite direction from the town. The track was ever shrinking until it disappeared all together. Along the way there were some small hills, farm lands and a few nice streams. I found myself strolling through rice fields towards what looked like a small village in the distance
The next day Karen and I decided that we would go exploring the countryside on the nice mountain bikes rented out by the hostel. The cycling, on the main tourist trail, was easy although not all that exciting in terms of scenery or villages, just the same kind of carsts you see everywhere. We did get a little bit off the track, taking some back roads towards the Moon Cave, which we planned to visit. Luckily we had already bought out ticket at the hostel for 90 Yuan as it cost 320 Yuan there, what a ridiculous scam. We togged out in our swimming gear and jumped in a small boat, where we were joined by a group of Chinese tourists, to take us inside the cave. The cave itself was pretty standard, not holding a flame to Konglor in Laos. We walked about 1k deep into the cave where the main attraction was a big mud bath. It was pretty fun rolling around in the mud and getting covered from head to toe in the gunk.
The previous days cycling wasn't satisfying in any way so I took a bike on my own and went in the totally opposite direction, on a long and strenuous loop, away from the tourist crap
My muscles were aching from the previous day so I didn't feel at all guilty about arsing around the hostel all day. I did meet with a few others who were also having a lazy day and we decided to head out on the town for the night. Moments after we left it started flogging rain and by the time we reached the town all three of us were soaked through. After about 2 hours in the first bar we realized that we didn't know each others names. I came up with the idea of not telling each other but instead picking the most typical names of our respective countries. I picked paddy, the English lad picked Richard and the German girl picked Helga. We decided we would go with those names for the night with any other people we met, it was quite funny. We ended up heading to Monkey Janes, the roof top bar of the most well known hostel in Yangshou. It was full of western backpackers, like a scene from South East Asia, which was a nice break from the streams of Chinese tourists on the streets below. They were playing beer pong, which we sat out, but were happy to join in later in the night when the game of choice changed to flip cup. At about 2am we were chucked out and after having some delicious street food we headed back to the hostel
Day 5 didn't start so well. Apart from having a heavy head I checked my bag to discover I had lost my credit card and camera. Well lost or stolen, I can't really say… but I was certain that I had the items when I entered to bar and didn't have either when I made it home. Helga and Richard were planning to go kayaking with a newly arrived Irish lad whom we aptly named Seamus. I was supposed to move on but they were twisting my arm so I decided finally that I would join them and spend a 6th day in Yangshou. We were picked up at 1pm and driven for about an hour… somewhere. We didn't have a map and neither our driver nor the guy at the river bank had a word of English to give us any information at all. We were on some section of some river and that seemed to be all we needed to know. We paddled off downstream for a good hour enjoying the beautiful carst scenery along the way. There we some gentle rapids and cliffs which I paddled right up to for a closer look. The sun was shining which was really pleasant at first but without any cover became far too intense. We stopped for a soda at a small floating restaurant and explored a small untouristed village nearby. It started to rain as we launched into the river again and before long it was absolutely hammering down. It was actually quite fun to be paddling through the pissing rain
Some of the most stunning photos of the whole trip were taken in Yangshou. Unfortunately they disappeared with my camera. The pictures I attach are either taken from one of the guys cameras of lifted from the internet.

You are sloppy with your gear. I had some custome made trousers in Pattaya c/w zippered outside pockets for carrying my wallet & camera. in 4 years, I broke 2 digital cameras in Thailand and had a brand new $500 Nikon Digital Camera stolen from my 20 minute unattended daypack on the Sianoukville => Phnom Phen Bus. I normally never left my daypack anywhere. It's a bummer. Best to have 2 credit cards when traveling.

Hint #1: Get A Sneak Peek
Hint #2: Get Organized
Linda says that life will be much easier if you develop a system for your schoolwork and belongings. You'll now have a lot of books, papers, and school supplies, and you might want to create a binder and/or folder for each class. That way, everything's easy to find when you need it, and when it comes time to take a test or write a paper, all of your notes and assignments will be right at your fingertips. You might also want to work with a trusted adult to schedule and keep track of your homework assignments. Experiment a bit to see what works for you, then stick with it.
Hint #3: Get Active
Linda encourages students to explore as many clubs and activities as they can. You can get involved in anything from the soccer team to the computer club. It doesn't matter who you are or what you're interested in -- there's a place for you in middle school activities! Getting involved is the best way to make lasting friends and truly learn what your new school has to offer.
Hint #4: Get Help When You Need It
If you need any sort of advice, assistance, or general moral support during your first weeks of middle school, Linda says it's important to ASK QUESTIONS. There are lots of people available to give you the answers you need: teachers, counselors, even coaches or office staff. It's their job to give you guidance if you're struggling, lost, or even just a little confused about something. You'll probably find that you're not the first student -- or the last -- to have a certain problem.
Now that you've heard from a school principal, here's some more advice and stories From The Mentors.

Swiss automotive futurists, Rinspeed, have announced their latest concept car: an amphibious roadster they are calling the sQuba. While people have been thinking about underwater cars for about as long as we've had cars, the sQuba looks to be the first working prototype of such a vehicle.
The car is ultralight thanks to its carbon nanotube body panels, and powered by two-electric engines. Underwater, it's got propellers.
It will be officially unveiled at the Geneva Auto Show in March, so in the meantime we'll have to content ourselves with this rendering.

may cry that way, Essie, if you like.
Minister Anderson's house is in the main street of Websterbridge, not far from the town
hall. To the eye of the eighteenth century New Englander, it is much grander than the
plain farmhouse of the Dudgeons; but it is so plain itself that a modern house agent would
let both at about the same rent. The chief dwelling room has the same sort of kitchen
fireplace, with boiler, toaster hanging on the bars, movable iron griddle socketed to the
hob, hook above for roasting, and broad fender, on which stand a kettle and a plate of
buttered toast. The door, between the fireplace and the corner, has neither panels,
fingerplates nor handles: it is made of plain boards, and fastens with a latch. The table is
a kitchen table, with a treacle colored cover of American cloth, chapped at the corners by
draping. The tea service on it consists of two thick cups and saucers of the plainest ware,
with milk jug and bowl to match, each large enough to contain nearly a quart, on a black
japanned tray, and, in the middle of the table, a wooden trencher with a big loaf upon it,
and a square half pound block of butter in a crock. The big oak press facing the fire from
the opposite side of the room, is for use and storage, not for ornament; and the minister's
house coat hangs on a peg from its door, showing that he is out; for when he is in it is his
best coat that hangs there. His big riding boots stand beside the press, evidently in their
usual place, and rather proud of themselves. In fact, the evolution of the minister's
kitchen, dining room and drawing room into three separate apartments has not yet taken
place; and so, from the point of view of our pampered period, he is no better off than the
But there is a difference, for all that. To begin with, Mrs. Anderson is a pleasanter person
to live with than Mrs. Dudgeon. To which Mrs. Dudgeon would at once reply, with
reason, that Mrs. Anderson has no children to look after; no poultry, pigs nor cattle; a
steady and sufficient income not directly dependent on harvests and prices at fairs; an
affectionate husband who is a tower of strength to her: in short, that life is as easy at the
minister's house as it is hard at the farm. This is true; but to explain a fact is not to alter it;
and however little credit Mrs. Anderson may deserve for making her home happier, she
has certainly succeeded in doing it. The outward and visible signs of her superior social
pretensions are a drugget on the floor, a plaster ceiling between the timbers and chairs
which, though not upholstered, are stained and polished. The fine arts are represented by
a mezzotint portrait of some Presbyterian divine, a copperplate of Raphael's St. Paul
preaching at Athens, a rococo presentation clock on the mantelshelf, flanked by a couple
of miniatures, a pair of crockery dogs with baskets in their mouths, and, at the corners,
two large cowrie shells. A pretty feature of the room is the low wide latticed window,
nearly its whole width, with little red curtains running on a rod half way up it to serve as
a blind. There is no sofa; but one of the seats, standing near the press, has a railed back
and is long enough to accommodate two people easily. On the whole, it is rather the sort
of room that the nineteenth century has ended in struggling to get back to under the

- Cast your vote for which answer you think is best!
well, you could go to the breed info here on dogster, they should list the different colors, I know there is b/w, one thats like a red/w, like an auburn shade, then there is one i think called blue merle, where they have black, grey, spotty, patches. Very pretty, so the brown/red whatever you want to call it i guess could be the same. Otherwise, go to like the AKC site look under BCs and they should have a complete description on the different colors.

This month's poem by Sarah Dunning Park is from her book, What It Is Is Beautiful. Enjoy!
Their Eyes All Aglow
will they remember
from their childhoods?
If everything experienced
is somehow stored—
stitched into the brain's cortical folds
like a heap of colorful rags
carefully braided and coiled
to make the rug underfoot—
which bits and pieces of memory
will present face-up,
to be felt and seen
and trod upon daily?
to gently tuck out of reach the memories
of times I snapped at them in anger,
or to bring forward and shore up
their recollection of the days
when all was peaceful,
and love imbued every word.
But I can't control their minds
—nor mine, tonight,
as I snuff out a stub of candle
on our table, and its smoking wick
and heady scent bring on a wave
of remembering I didn't expect:
the feel of a Christmas Eve
when it's late and I am little,
full to bursting with rich food
and my wild impatience
for the morning.

GREELEY, Colo. – NAU freshman middle blocker Payton Bock was named Big Sky Outstanding Freshman and earned All-Big Sky First Team honors as four Lumberjacks were recognized on the all-conference teams. Senior libero Anna Gott, sophomore middle blocker Sydney Kemper, and freshman outside hitter Janae Vander Ploeg all earned Big Sky Honorable Mention as NAU placed four players on the All-Big Sky teams for the first time since 2002.
Bock becomes the third member of the 2012 Lumberjacks to have been named Outstanding Freshman after Lexi Sullivan in 2008 and Kelli Dallmann in 2009. She is the seventh Lumberjack all-time to earn the award and is the first NAU player to be named to the All-Big Sky First Team since Brittany Stowers in 2008.
"I'm honored to receive this award and I'm proud of how far we have come this season," Bock said. "It's an honor and I'm really proud of everybody on the team."
During the regular season Bock led the team and ranked fourth in the Big Sky with 1.24 blocks per set and was sixth in the conference with a .307 hitting percentage while contributing 2.32 kills per set. Bock was especially impressive in conference play in hitting .331 with 2.58 kills and 1.34 blocks per set to rank second on the team with 258.5 points. She hit .250 or better in 14 Big Sky matches and overall this season has totaled 16 matches with five or more blocks and nine matches with 10 or more kills, including a 10 kill, 10 block double-double vs. Idaho State.
Gott earned Big Sky Honorable Mention for the second consecutive year as she shattered NAU's career digs record this season. She enters the Big Sky Championship third in Big Sky history with 1,849 career digs after breaking NAU's career digs record on Sept. 27th. She ranks second in the Big Sky with 4.95 digs per set this season while averaging 5.10 digs per set in conference play.
Kemper also earned a second consecutive Big Sky Honorable Mention award after ranking third in the conference with a .341 season hitting percentage while averaging 2.40 kills and 0.99 blocks per set. She hit better than .380 in 13 matches this season with 11 matches at .400 or better to rank fourth on the team with 330.5 total points. Kemper totaled 10 matches with five or more blocks and seven with 10 or more kills.
NAU's regular season leader in kills and points, Vander Ploeg has had a tremendous rookie campaign in averaging 3.15 kills, 2.14 digs, and 0.59 blocks per set with a team-high 404.0 total points. She has recorded double-digit kills in 20 matches this season to rank ninth in the Big Sky in kills per set while also adding nine double-digit dig efforts and six double-doubles. Over the last eight matches of the regular season Vander Ploeg averaged 3.58 kills per set while hitting .251 and adding 70 digs and 16 blocks to lead NAU to a third place regular season finish.
The Lumberjacks open play in the Big Sky Championship in the quarterfinal round at 9 a.m. Friday vs Montana State.
