BALTIMORE – The equipment managers of Washington & Jefferson College's football team made sure every player's bag was packed. They took enough water buckets, medical supplies and ankle tape.
They did not bring enough quarterbacks.
In one of the most unusual scenarios in school history, W&J was forced to use three quarterbacks after starter Matt Bliss and backup Shane Smith each went down with injuries in the first half.
Freshman Kevin Mechas, who had not taken a snap in a college game all season, played three quarters.
As one might imagine, W&J dropped its first-round playoff game in NCAA Division III against Johns Hopkins, 42-10, Saturday afternoon.
"We didn't expect to be down to our third quarterback in the first quarter," said W&J head coach Mike Sirianni. "I don't even know when Kevin got reps in practice."
The loss ended the Presidents' season with the first 8-3 record in the program's 122-year history. They shared the Presidents' Athletic Conference title with Waynesburg.
Johns Hopkins, the Centennial Conference champion, won its school-record 10th game and will play Mount Union in Saturday's second round. It also was the first home playoff victory in Johns Hopkins history.
While W&J was trying to figure out what player to use at quarterback, Johns Hopkins was getting a great performance from its starter, Rob Matey. The 5-9 junior completed 22 of 32 passes for 302 yards and a touchdown. He also ran for 35 yards and a touchdown.
Tailback Jonathan Rigaud, who was this year's Offensive Player of the Year in the Centennial Conference, rushed for 155 yards on 27 carries and wide receiver Daniel Wodicka caught 11 passes for 98 yards and a score.
Johns Hopkins led 21-0 before W&J's Eric Eberle kicked a field goal 4:16 before halftime and it was 35-3 before Mechas tossed his first collegiate touchdown pass, a 14-yarder to Hunter Creel with 9:03 left in the game.
"(After Bliss went out), we assumed that they would run the same offense, and they did," said Johns Hopkins head coach Jim Margraff. "We didn't change our strategy."
The Presidents were left short-handed at quarterback in August, when senior Andrew Cappucci sustained a season-ending knee injury in camp.
Bliss suffered what Sirianni termed "a severe" concussion after scrambling for a seven-yard gain. He was hit helmet-to-helmet by a Johns Hopkins player, which drew a 15-yard personal foul penalty.
"He was (knocked) out on the field," said Sirianni. "He wanted to come back in, but we said no. The biggest thing with him out was that it changed our no-huddle offense."
Smith, a 5-11 sophomore, replaced Bliss with just over two minutes remaining in the first quarter and did a nice job. He completed seven of 11 passes for 54 yards. But with just over five minutes to play in the half, Smith was sacked and twisted his right ankle. He left the game and Mechas came in.
"I was nervous," Mechas said. "I just tried to stay focused."
W&J quarterbacks completed 24 of 50 passes for 220 yards and a touchdown. Mechas threw two interceptions, but they came in the fourth quarter when the Presidents were throwing on nearly every down and trailing 35-10.
An interception by strong safety John Arena led to the Blue Jays' final score, a five-yard run by Jason Blades.
The loss by W&J brought to an end an emotional and difficult season. The Presidents had to overcome the loss of starting tailback Tim McNerny, who was found dead in Washington Oct. 4. They played the final four games in his memory and vowed to win the PAC title and earn a playoff berth.
When asked about the season, Sirianni became emotional and, after a long pause, said: "To win those last four games and dedicate the season to Tim . . . People don't understand when they say we lost our captain and our best player. We lost the most popular kid on the team. We lost someone who made practices fun when they were going terrible. We can't look at this season as anything but a success. What they did was remarkable. These guys changed. Tim changed me. Now, it's how we act off the field that can show how we still honor him."

Sunday's Obituary
Mrs. Essie LeBolt Finn
Died at her home, 1421 Second street, last night at 3:10 o'clock. Surviving are her husband, Daniel J Finn; one son, Ward D of Philadephia; one daughter, Mrs. Broshia L Boorman. Another son, Elbert, died in Pontiac, Mich., two years ago. Mrs. Finn attended the Fourth Lutheran church. Friends will be received at the Axe funeral home after 7 o'clock this evening.
Altoona Mirror, 14 Dec 1948
Note: Interesting that Essie's maiden name of Chapin was not used by the writer of the obit, possibly leading people to think she was born a Lebolt instead of being married to and divorced from one. According to Elbert C Shephard's death certificate, he died on 25 Oct 1943, not in 1946.

One of the most decorated players in women's basketball, Suzie McConnell-Serio was named the head coach at the University of Pittsburgh, April 12, 2013.
"From the WPIAL to the Olympics to the WNBA, Suzie McConnell-Serio is a true legend of the game," Pitt athletic director Steve Pederson said in making the announcement. "She has achieved tremendous success at all levels of basketball, both as a player and a coach."
From Seton-La Salle High School, to Penn State, to Duquesne, and stops all over the world in between, McConnell-Serio marvels how her life has come full circle. "When you think about it, it's been unbelievable. Amazing," she said. Then added, "this is my last move."
McConnell-Serio comes to Pitt via Duquesne University. The two-time Olympic medalist racked up a 123-68 record and led the Dukes to five straight WNIT appearances during a six-year stint on the Bluff. The Dukes were 24-8 this past season and posted an 11-3 record in the Atlantic 10.
Leaving Duquesne proved difficult for McConnell-Serio, who owns more than 300 career coaching victories. "Meeting with the players was one of the most difficult things I've had to do. I enjoyed my time at Duquesne and I told my players that they need to finish what they started."
In starting over at Pitt, McConnell-Serio replaces Agnus Berenato, who was 161-149, and takes over a program that failed to win a Big East game this winter. Pitt finished 9-21 this season. The Panthers posted a 64-111 mark in the Big East under Berenato.
The Panthers are banking on McConnell-Serio as Pitt embarks on a new journey. The University will compete in Atlantic Coast Conference next season.
"Our program is on the cusp of a new era with new opportunities," explained Pederson. "Suzie is the right person to lead us into that new era. We are all committed to her success and are very excited to begin working together."
Donning Pitt sportswear, McConnell-Serio began working for the University, immediately. She made her first public appearance at Pitt's annual spring football game. This year's Blue-Gold game was held April 12 at Bethel Park High School, a scant few miles from McConnell-Serio's home in Upper St. Clair.
Pittsburgh has always been home for the 46-year-old floor boss. The daughter of Tom and Susan McConnell grew up in Brookline. A Parade All-American, she attended Seton-La Salle High School and guided the Rebels to its first PIAA championship in girls' basketball in 1984. She also played on the school's WPIAL championship softball team.
McConnell-Serio went on to star at Penn State (1984-88) and set NCAA Division I records for career assists (1,307), assists in a season (355) and single-season assists per game (11.8). She became the first player in program history to be named a first team All-American and was also a four-time All-Atlantic 10 honoree. McConnell-Serio was the 1988 recipient of the Frances Pomeroy Naismith Award, presented to the nation's best senior player under 5-foot-8. The Nittany Lions advanced to the NCAA Tournament each year of her career and had a four-year record of 95-33 (.742).
A two-time Olympian, she helped the United States capture the gold medal during the 1988 Summer Games in Seoul and a bronze in Barcelona in 1992. She has won five total medals for the USA as a player, including the 1991 World University Games (gold), 1986 FIBA World Championship (gold) and 1985 R. William Jones Cup (gold). In 2011, McConnell-Serio had her first USA Basketball coaching assignment, serving as an assistant for the USA Women's World University Games Team that won gold.
She played and coached in the WNBA with the Cleveland Rockers and the Minnesota Lynz franchises. McConnell coached 13 seasons at Oakland Catholic and guided the Eagles to three state titles and two runner-up finishes.
Serio and her husband, Pete, have four children, Peter (22), Jordan (18), Mandy (17) and Madison (15).
McConnell-Serio comes from a famed basketball family. Her sister Kathy, who was her teammate on the 1984 Seton-La Salle state championship team, was the head coach at Tulsa (1999-05) and the University of Colorado (2006-10) before accepting her current position as an assistant coach with the WNBA's Tulsa Shock. She was also an assistant coach at the University of Illinois and Rutgers. Kathy gained her initial job in college basketball at the University of Pittsburgh as a recruiting coordinator during the 1991-92 season under Kirk Bruce. Kathy played in four NCAA Tournaments while at the University of Virginia.
Her brother Tom played two seasons at Davidson and was the head coach at Saint Francis (Pa.) University from 1992-99. He also has been an assistant coach at Wake Forest, Marquette and Dayton as well as an assistant women's coach at the University of Colorado with sister Kathy. He currently is an assistant women's coach at Old Dominion University.
Her brother Tim played at Waynesburg College and has served as the boys' coach at Chartiers Valley High School since 1992, winning more than 400 career games. Sister Maureen, who also starred at Seton-La Salle, played at the University of Pittsburgh, lettering from 1989-91. McConnell-Serio's nephew T.J. (Tim's son) currently plays at the University of Arizona under Sean Miller, who played at Pitt.

Revision as of 18:30, 21 April 2013
This plugin plots the position of various pulsars, with object information about each one. Pulsar data is derived from Catalog of Pulsars (Taylor+ 1995) for 0.1.x series and derived from The ATNF Pulsar Catalogue (Manchester, R. N., Hobbs, G. B., Teoh, A. & Hobbs, M., Astron. J., 129, 1993-2006 (2005) (astro-ph/0412641)) for series 0.2.x.
Example (PSR J0332+5434):
Using the Pulsars plugin
- Enable the tool by clicking the tool-bar button "Load at startup"
- Find the pulsar by their designation (PSR J0437-4715 as example)
Catalog of pulsars
You can modify the catalog.json (for 0.1.x) or pulsars.json (for 0.2.x) file manually using a text editor. If you are using Windows, it is strongly recommended to use an advanced text editor such as Notepad++ to avoid problems with end-of-line characters. (It will also color the JSON code and make it easier to read.)
Warning: Before editing your JSON file, make a backup copy. Leaving out the smallest detail (such as a comma or forgetting to close a curly bracket) will prevent Stellarium from starting.
The path to the directory which contains catalog.json or pulsars.json is something like:
- C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Stellarium\modules\Pulsars (Windows Vista, Windows 7)
- C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Application Data\Stellarium\modules\Pulsars (Windows XP)
- HomeDirectory/Library/Preferences/Stellarium/modules/Pulsars (Mac OS X)
- ~/.stellarium/modules/Pulsars (Linux)
(Note that this is a hidden folder, so in order to find it you may need to change your computer's settings to display hidden files and folders.)
Format of catalog
To add a new pulsar, open a new line after line 5 and paste the following, note commas and brackets, they are important:
For plugin series 0.1.x (Catalog version 1)
"Pulsar designation": { "RA": "Right ascension (J2000)", "DE": "Declination (J2000)", "distance": value of distance to pulsar (kpc), "period": value of baricentric period (s), "ntype": octal code of type of pulsar, "We": value of equivalent width of the integrated pulse profile (ms), "w50": value of profile width at 50% of peak (ms), "s400": value of time averaged flux density at 400 MHz (mJy), "s600": value of time averaged flux density at 600 MHz (mJy), "s1400": value of time averaged flux density at 1400 MHz (mJy) },
For example, record for PSR J0014+4746:
"PSR J0014+4746": { "RA": "00h14m17.74s", "DE": "+47d46m33.1s", "distance": 1.84, "period": 1.2406989780800000, "ntype": 0, "We": 155.00, "w50": 88.70, "s400": 14.00, "s600": 9.00, "s1400": 3.00 },
For plugin series 0.2.x (Catalog version 2)
"Pulsar designation": { "RA": "Right ascension (J2000)", "DE": "Declination (J2000)", "notes": "type of pulsar", "distance": value of distance based on electron density model (kpc), "period": value of barycentric period of the pulsar (s), "parallax": value of annular parallax (mas), "bperiod": value of binary period of pulsar (days), "pderivative": value of time derivative of barcycentric period (dimensionless), "dmeasure": value of dispersion measure (cm^-3 pc), "frequency": value of barycentric rotation frequency (Hz), "pfrequency": value of time derivative of barycentric rotation frequency (s^-2) "eccentricity": value of eccentricity, "w50": value of profile width at 50% of peak (ms), "s400": value of time averaged flux density at 400 MHz (mJy), "s600": value of time averaged flux density at 600 MHz (mJy), "s1400": value of time averaged flux density at 1400 MHz (mJy) },
For example, record for PSR J0014+4746:
"PSR J0014+4746": { "distance": 1.82, "dmeasure": 30.85, "frequency": 0.805997239145, "pfrequency": -3.6669E-16, "w50": 88.7, "s400": 14, "s600": 9, "s1400": 3, "RA": "00h14m17.75s", "DE": "47d46m33.4s" },

Heading into his first full campaign as a starter, Deron Mayo is setting the bar high.
Coming off a season in which he stepped into the Calgary Stampeders weakside linebacker spot for an injured Malik Jackson in Week 3 and never gave the job back, the third-year Old Dominion product is eyeing the 100-tackle mark and then some in 2014.
"To be honest, I'd like to break the (CFL) record," Mayo said following the first half of Friday's two-a-day grind at McMahon Stadium. "I don't even know what the record is, but I'd like to break it. I should probably go look that up. I'm trying to break records out here, but I consider winning the Grey Cup a personal goal and a team goal. That's the one right there. I wanna get that ring on my finger."
Lofty indeed.
He won't need to look far to find the current CFL record-holder, with J.C. Sherritt, who recorded 130 stops in 2012 to break Calvin Tiggle's 1994 mark of 129, residing just up the highway in the Edmonton Eskimos front-seven.
Achieving his stated goal would also put Mayo in position to earn much more than just a line in the record book, as Sherritt garnered every all-star nod possible and took home the CFL's Most Outstanding Defensive Player for his efforts two seasons ago.
While linebacker George White was the last Stampeders defender to hit the century mark, recording 116 tackles in 2005, Mayo stuffed the stat sheet in 16 starts last season, racking up 57 stops, five sacks, two fumble recoveries and one interception.
Stampeders GM/head coach John Hufnagel wasn't surprised at all when Mayo refused to give relinquish the starting job last season once he got his hands on it, essentially ending Jackson's Calgary tenure in the process, as the veteran linebacker moved on to Ottawa via free agency in the off-season.
"It happens all the time," Hufnagel said. "When you get an opportunity to play, and you play well and you show that you deserve to be on the field, you usually stay on the field."
Already a key cog in the Stampeders defensive scheme, the 26-year-old could be just scratching the surface.
"He's a pretty good football player right now, but we expect him, like every other player, to work hard and get better," Hufnagel said.
Considered one of the fastest players not only on the Stampeders defence but the whole roster, Mayo has learned how to use those wheels in the 25 months since he was signed in May 2012.
"Believe it or not, you can't always just run your fastest," Mayo said. "Sometimes you get a little bit out of control and that's something I had to kinda learn when it comes to pursuit and stuff. It's not really that you have to run your fastest, but get in position to make that explosive play. Really, it's about speed but under control."
The 5-foot-11, 221-pounder was also fifth on the Stamps with nine special-teams tackles, and Mayo prides himself on effort and production, no matter what facet of the game he's thrust into.
"I'm going to give my 110% every single play and, I think, (the coaches) know that," Mayo said. "I'm going to fly around, try to be a team player, and do whatever I can to help the team, whether it's on defence or special teams. And you know what? If coach Huff wants to put me on offence, I'll go out there, too. I want to play running back. I gotta get back there for a play or two."
Mayo's progression from standout special-teamer — he had 15 special-teams stops in his rookie season while playing a limited role on defence — to starter has impressed veteran middle linebacker Juwan Simpson.
"He's a really smart player," Simpson said. "Of course, he's athletic and he's super fast. He brings excitement and he's always accountable and it's been a pleasure playing with him so far."

Bethel Park approves preliminary budget
Bethel Park approves preliminary budget
Bethel Park School Board members unanimously approved a preliminary budget of $77,115,484 for the 2013-2014 school year on Feb. 19.
District officials stressed that the budget is very preliminary and that there will be many changes made before a final budget is adopted in a few months.
The district needed to adopt a preliminary budget this month in order to submit for an Act 1 referendum exception for retirement contribution expenditures, explained Superintendent Nancy Rose.
The board members also approved a motion to apply for the exemption, but may not have to use it if the final budget does not require a real estate tax increase above that which is allowed under state Act 1.
In other business, school board members and district administration officials said they have not made any final decisions about curriculum changes in regard to lowering the number of credits for high school graduation, but they have increased the credit value given to physical education courses.
Currently, students receive 1/4 credit for each semester of physical education, which means that they must complete four semesters of the course to reach the graduation requirement of one full credit. The district recently changed the credit value to a 1/2 credit per semester, meaning that students will only need two semesters of physical education to graduate. The change will begin with the 2013-2014 school year.
Pam Dobos, a resident and retired teacher, told the board that she hoped it would reconsider making the change to less required gym classes.
"Physical education is a lifelong skill," Dobos said.
The district currently requires students to complete 27 high school credits to graduate, but is considering lowering that number to allow students more time to participate in internships, take college courses or take remedial classes in order to pass the Keystone Exams.
The state requires students to complete a minimum of 21 credits for high school graduation.

A bookkeeping error has cost The Meadows Racetrack & Casino $30,000.
The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board levied that fine Wednesday against Washington Trotting Association Inc., operator of the North Strabane Township casino.
The board said the casino failed to follow controls relating to when dealers collect commission – or vigorish – on craps games.
Lance Young, director of table games at The Meadows, accepted blame.
"The board changed regulations on rules submission and asked the casino to update its rules submissions for all games," Young said. He said casinos statewide had two options as to when their dealers were to collect vigorish from players and that "I accidentally checked" the wrong one.
"The paperwork submission was a mistake on my part and the casino's part."
Young said dealers at his casino have always collected vigorish from craps players after dealing ends instead of before it begins, as Young had checked off. He said the violation occurred over 15 months, from May 2011 to August.
"The board checked off on what I submitted and neither of us checked it in a year and a half," Young said. "After an audit, they noticed a discrepancy.
"At no time did we change how we collected vigorish. We did not change the way we paid."
Vigorish, or "the vig," is a common term in gambling. Vigorish in craps games, according to Wikipedia, "refers to the 5 percent commission charged on a buy bet, where a player wishes to bet that one of the numbers – 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10 – will be rolled before a 7 is rolled. The commission is charged at the rate of $1 for every $20 bet. The bet is paid off at the true mathematical odds, but the 5 percent commission is paid as well, restoring the house advantage."
Washington Trotting was among four casino operators that were fined a total of $157,000.
Sands Bethworks Gaming LLC, operator of Sands Casino Resort Bethlehem, was dealt the largest fine – $68,000. It was cited for six incidents, between August and November, in which persons under age 21 got access to the gaming floor; gambling occurred in five of those cases.
Chester Downs and Marina LLC, operator of Harrah's Philadelphia Casino and Racetrack, was levied two fines totaling $46,500. The largest – $34,500 – was for failure to make 18 slot machines operational and available to the public within a certain time period. Chester Downs also was fined $12,000 for allowing a 19-year-old man to gamble at the blackjack table in August.
The board also levied a $5,000 fine on Valley Forge Convention Center Partners, operator of Valley Forge Casino Resort, for allowing a male on the board's self-exclusion list to get a Players Club card and gamble 38 times between last April and October.

In familiar setting, Gaughan hopes for wins
January 03, 2013, Kenny Bruce, NASCAR.com
Nearly a decade ago, Brendan Gaughan and Shane Wilson were key players for the most competitive young team in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. For the 2013 season, they are together again.
Can success be far behind?
"You can't deny the chemistry and the communication we had back in the day," Gaughan, 37, said recently of his former crew chief.
Gaughan, then driving for the family-owned Orleans Racing, won the series' rookie of the year honors in 2002 with Wilson as crew chief, and the tandem nearly won the championship the following year. Their eight-race win total during the two-year stretch was a series best.
Eventually, Gaughan's and Wilson's careers veered down paths. Now, they will intersect once more as the two reunite at Richard Childress Racing.
"We go a long way back. Anytime you have that, there are ups and downs."
-- Brendan Gaughan
The team will field the No. 62 truck (a nod to Gaughan's Orleans Racing days) and will start the season with owner points from RCR's No. 22 entry, which finished third in points with Joey Coulter behind the wheel in 2012.
Gaughan ran partial schedules in three series (Sprint Cup, Nationwide and Truck) for RCR last year, scoring top-five finishes in half of his eight Truck Series starts and top-10s in half of his Nationwide runs.
Wilson, in the meantime, served as crew chief for Kevin Harvick at 24 Sprint Cup races and RCR teammates Paul Menard and Jeff Burton for a handful of others. This season, Gaughan is certainly happy to have Wilson back on his team.
"We go a long way back," Gaughan said. "Anytime you have that, there are ups and downs. We've had ours. … It's nice for us to get back together. We've both said, 'You know what? We should have been doing this all along.' "
Wilson has been a winning crew chief in all three series, enjoying success with Gaughan (eight wins in the Truck Series), Harvick and Burton (14 in Nationwide) and Clint Bowyer (two in Cup). Given the success he and Gaughan shared, Wilson said expectations for 2013 are high.
"With our resources from (RCR), Brendan being a veteran Truck Series driver and our … history, I think it's safe to say that we will be a very competitive team," Wilson said in a release announcing the pairing.
Ty Dillon, last season's rookie of the year in the series, returns in the No. 3 truck for the organization. A third entry is expected to be fielded for a limited number of events.
The series' 22-race schedule kicks off Feb. 22 with the running of the NextEra Energy Resources 250 at Daytona International Speedway.
"This sport all starts at the shop," said Gaughan, who will also compete in at least two Nationwide Series events this year. "It all starts with the work the people do behind the scenes -- the body hangers, the engineers, those folks. You've got to take it seriously … make it start on the shop side and the performance will come from there. I'm really pumped about it."

I trust Mattel to do what they're doing. This isn't the Vintage Line.
I know this is waaay ahead of the game here, but I just got the vintage Mantenna figure (finally starting a loose vintage collection!) and this idea came to mind.
Since the vintage Mantenna came with a gray crossbow and the vintage Hordak came with a white crossbow, but MOTUC Hordak came with a gray crossbow, do you guys think if they do a MOTUC Mantenna, he should come with the white crossbow? That way if anyone wants to display them with their crossbows swapped to look like the vintages, this would be a halfway decent way of including the white one.
Just a thought. *shrugs*
I trust Mattel to do what they're doing. This isn't the Vintage Line.
Ok. I never said it was the vintage line. Nor do I expect or want it to be.
I also trust Mattel and the 4H to keep on giving us pure awesome. It was just an idea for discussion. Thanks for sharing your opinion.
That'd be fine with me.
-What the Fans Want to Know Round 3Our goal is to make sure all MOTU collectors can get these new figures.
Good trades: JohnnyTyler, tattoojunkie74
Well, I think that that is an AWESOME idea. I have been thinking of painting Hordak's crossbow bone white when I open him, but if Mantenna came with a white crossbow it will save me the trouble.
I think that would be pretty cool.
If I remember correctly, ToyGuru stated that MOTUC Hordak was originally going to have the white crossbow like the vintage figure, but the white prototype didn't look as good on Hordak since he has a lot of white color to begin with. Mantenna is pretty colorful and has just about no white on him, so the white crossbow may look quite awesome with him.
A plain white crossbow would not suit these highly detailed figures IMO....
That's the only thing that bothers me with the MOTUC Hordak figure. He should have come with his white crossbow as he did originally.
Even though the black one is growing on me now! But still....
And as for the other Horde members, they should have thier respected crossbow colors!
By the Power... and For the Honor of GRAYSKULL!!!
HE-MAN and SHE-RA Rules!!!
"Frustration is only felt when one realizes there is an option!"
- Ancient One (BeastMaster: The Series; Fifth Element)
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from MAGIC!
- Clarke's Third Law
Correct. I wouldn't prefer if it were plain gleaming white, but instead be detailed, or weathered with an off white or gray wash. Or maybe bone textured, similar, but a shade or two lighter than Hordak's head.
It's a great idea, but maybe he will be yellow/silver like the 200X Staction of Mantenna.
I believe Hordak had a grey/silver crossbow there too right?
Maybe they will use the 200X colors of those accessories as a guide for the MOTUC Evil Horde.
"The physics is theoretical, but the fun is real."
-Dr. Sheldon Cooper
I will NEVER buy a subscription!
I would like to see Hordak with his real weapon color schema.
But someone, that is regarding for Mattel best interests, just chose other color.
I can paint that, and I will buy two Teelas, if they don´t make Green Goddess I will make my own...

does it disappoint me?, yes. But I'm an adult, learning to deal with disappointment is part of the game.
as for his 'real' weapon color scheme, I'm just not following. The crossbow that came with him is his weapon. it's black this time.
'real' weapon color would imply that there's one true color for his weapon. And if that's the case, then it's anybody's guess, because in three releases he hasn't had a consistent colorscheme for that particular weapon.

Then why must Hordak have a white crossbow?
and if he must, why can't you paint it yourself?
it seems to me that Matty wants to make each character's weaponry unique to them, in that regard, giving Mantenna a generic crossbow to appease a small demographic of people who demand Hordak's crossbow be white makes little sense.
Couldn't it better be served by just repainting your own, so that Mantenna's accessory doesn't need to suffer as a result? Or better yet, just asking for a white one in an accessory pack? or bonus accessory?
Not that the Hordak bow is a problem for me, as I like the staff better and only use it, but I would have liked him more packed with a white bow, just for that bit of contrast motu is known for. And maybe the weapons pack will come with a bat shield! I'd buy a bunch of packs just to have all the Horde (provided they make more ) carrying a bat shield.
We know he is long down the road due to new parts but it's fun to talk about characters like him.
To me Mantenna is one of those characters who looked a thousand times better in 200x. Specially the color scheme they gave him.
I prefer the yellow eyes over the blue ones. The brighter colors in the staction were great while the classic figure was kinda.. meh!
How would you like Mantenna to look like in MOTUC? Closer to the staction or the vintage figure?
Well Mantenna (as some other members of the Evil Horde) is one of the characters I'm most thrilled about.
I have just recently bought Mantenna staction and I'm fascinated by it's look.
I've always thought that vintage figure has plain facial expression, and not evil enough (mini comic & POP apearance included), so I would like if this figure could be more influenced by 200X look. Also Mantenna should have four separate legs.
200X is the best so far. I liked the 4 legs and all the color scheme and detail.
200X influence definitely. Another vintage character that wasn't handled right by 80's limitations (like Leech), that the 4H improved by leaps and bounds.
I agree. I'd like to see them stick closer to the 200x design. I think the 200x version captured the character much better.

Lahna Turner says she can find humour in any situation.
"That's one of the greatest things a comic could do," says the edgy and sometimes politically incorrect comedian. "How better to deal with horrible situations than with humour?"
The Toronto-born comedian says being a petite woman with a sweet personality means she can get away with jokes that might seem offensive coming from someone else, she says. But in a sense, it's a double-edged sword.
"On the flipside, it's also a little more shocking," she says. "If I was a brawny guy, my content wouldn't seem quite as edgy."
Turner's standup act often involves her performing jokes in the form of songs. She stands on stage, strumming her guitar and singing in her high-pitched voice about sex, race and other hot-button topics.
"I don't think there's anything you shouldn't talk about," she says, even going as far as to make jokes about explaining that she considers it part of her Jewish heritage to talk about tragedy. "If you don't talk about it, it goes away. Or if you don't talk about, it just gets worse."
She isn't scared to tease her audience. For example, in one of her most popular clips on YouTube, she sings what she calls The Stereotype Song.
"This is a special song about how stereotypes aren't true – except in Asia, Asians are bad drivers, too," she sings, singling out an Asian audience member. "It's cool, because you guys can build cars, you just can't drive them! Thanks for coming out though and be careful driving home."
Her performance, while edgy, is not meant to offend anybody, she says, but she thinks that people have their own tastes in comedy, and she understands that not everybody will like her humour.
"You don't go to see a rock 'n' roll show if you enjoy country music," she says, adding that it's almost impossible to write a decent comedy show that doesn't touch anybody's nerves.
Turner was born in Toronto, but moved with her family to Houston, Texas, at the start of Grade 6. Having spent her early childhood in North York, she had no idea what to expect from Texas.
"I literally thought when I was a little girl that I'd be riding on a horse to school," she says.
The biggest shock, she says, was the lack of Jews in Houston. Having come from a particularly Jewish area of Toronto, she thought it was the norm.
"You move to Texas and everything changes," she says, adding that while there are Jews in Houston, the majority did not live in her part of the city. "You are very much a minority.
"The joke is that I'm Canadian and Texan, so I say, 'Howdy, eh?'"
Turner, who's 38 but says she feels like she's 26, began her comedy career 14 years ago, performing funny tunes with her guitar.
"It's very addicting, being onstage. You either love it or you hate it and will never do it again," she says. "I immediately loved it. I'm very good at writing funny comedy songs. I have a knack for it."
She spent only a few months performing for free before she received her first paycheque for her standup.
"I remember it as clear as day. The owner walked up to me and put $20 in my hand," she says. "I couldn't believe I just got paid for doing that. That was it for me. If I could get paid to do this, why would I do anything else?"
Her husband, Ralphie May, is also a comedian, best known as the runner-up in the NBC reality show Last Comic Standing. He, too, performs edgy jokes, often looking toward his own life, such as his health issues, for inspiration.
Last year, he was hospitalized and almost died, which was obviously a really difficult situation, Turner says. But then he took that experience and turned it into an hour of standup material.
"There wouldn't be a dry eye in the room, yet it is hilarious at the same time," Turner says. "I think when you have some hurt in your heart, it makes you funnier."
Her act, she says, doesn't have anything that would make people cry. "I haven't reached that level where I would feel comfortable sharing like that," she says. "I think being able to do that is a wonderful gift."
The two comedians have a five-year-old daughter and a three-year-old son. Turner says the kids don't understand the jokes yet, but she wouldn't try to hide them from it. She performed two weeks before giving birth to her daughter and two days before her son, so they've been exposed to her act since before they were born, she says.
"I have a couple friends who have had babies and as women they change," she says. "The joke is they had the baby and they forget how they had the baby… That, to me, doesn't make a lot of sense."
Turner and May host a podcast together called Perfect 10, which brings fans into the couple's personal lives on a weekly basis.
Periodically, they've been asked to be the spotlight of a reality show, Turner says. They've filmed pilots before, which were not picked up. However, she says they found the experience too invasive. The podcast invites fans into their lives in a less invasive medium.
They sprinkle their kids into the show whenever it's funny, Turner says, mentioning one episode where they had relationship expert, Andrea Syrtash, council the two kids on their relationships.
"All kids are really funny," she says. "It's a refreshing way to see the world. They're a big inspiration for me now… and I work very hard to give them the greatest life imaginable."

A second environmental group has filed a citizens lawsuit against Alpha Natural Resources and its subsidiary, Emerald Coal Resources, for alleged Clean Water Act violations at the company's Emerald Mine in Waynesburg.
Citizens Coal Council, a national alliance of groups that advocates for enforcing and strengthening environmental laws related to coal, filed the suit Wednesday with the U.S. District Court in Pittsburgh. The suit came two days after a local organization, Citizens for Coalfield Justice, filed a separate federal lawsuit against the company on similar grounds.
The council's lawsuit is based on the findings of a study completed for the council in 2010 by the consulting firm Schmid and Co., said Aimee Erickson, the council's executive director.
The lawsuit cites thousands of instances in which the mine exceeded its permit limits in wastewater discharges for aluminum, iron, manganese, osmotic pressure and total suspended solids between 2008 and 2012. The allegations are based on information the company provided regulatory agencies as part of its required wastewater discharge monitoring program.
The streams affected by the discharges include Smith Creek and its tributaries, South Fork Ten Mile Creek, Browns Creek, Frosty Run, Grimes Run and unnamed tributaries of Laurel Run, Coal Lick Run, and Dyers Fork.
"Emerald Resources has failed to comply with their water pollution permit for many years. It's past time for this company and its parent, Alpha, to ensure that their discharges are not degrading the creeks of Greene County," Erickson said.
The council provided Schmid's study to the federal Environmental Protection Agency and the state Department of Environmental Protection in 2010 and gave a presentation on the study to EPA officials in November of that year, Erickson said.
"We've waited patiently for them to do something but haven't been really happy with their silence," she said. EPA representatives have told the council they are working with the company, but have said little more, Erickson said.
DEP also has failed to act, she said, "and that is why we are taking these steps under the citizen enforcement provisions of the Clean Water Act." The act gives citizens the right to file a citizens lawsuit when they believe regulatory bodies have not sufficiently addressed a violation.
DEP spokesman John Poister said Friday he could not comment on the lawsuit but he did say the department has been working with the company on a "global process" that also involves its other subsidiary, Cumberland Coal Resources, to address water quality problems.
Samantha Davison, a company spokeswoman, also said the company has been working with both DEP and EPA to address the issue, but it has taken time. Plans to address the issue have involved pilot testing various technologies to find a solution that will work on a permanent basis, she said.
The company's employees not only work but also live in the community, Davison said. "We realize we have to be good neighbors as well as good environmental stewards," she said.

- Hair Elasticity: Straight

- Styling Tip: Use the straightening iron to give your hair a dead straight finish.
Styling Steps
1 . Apply Straightening Balm
Squeeze a small amount of straightening balm into your palms and then rub your hands together before smoothing the product evenly through damp hair.
2 . Use a Paddle Brush
A paddle brush is used for detangling the hair and can be used to smooth out straight hair when blow-drying or styling. It is a must have for every household.
3 . Blow-dry Using a Paddle Brush
Working in sections starting from the back, place the paddle brush close to the roots and drag it through the strands slowly, taking care not to overheat your hair. Once dry, continue to a new section, completing the back, the sides and then the top section last of all.
4 . Use a Straightening Iron
When straightening your hair, first make sure that your hair is completely dry. Then, section your hair off starting from the back/nape using a comb. Straighten your hair starting from the roots and working your way down to the ends using your comb as your guide. Make sure not to leave the straightening iron in one spot for more than 3 seconds. For more information about straightening techniques click here.
5 . Apply Smoothing Shine
Apply a very small amount of smoothing shine to the palms of your hands and then run it through the mid-lengths and ends of your hair. Be careful not to add any to the roots or a large amount to any section of the hair as smoothing shine can be very heavy on the hair, weighing it down and making it appear oily.
6 . Apply Hairspray
To finish, apply a minimal amount of hairspray from an arms length distance to the top, sides and back. Take care not to use too much or you will end up with a white, flaky residue which looks like dandruff.

WAYNESBURG – Two Perry Township men are in jail following a robbery at the Rising Creek Bakery, 115 Main St., Mt. Morris, Thursday afternoon and charges are pending against a third.
Mark Alan Paugh, 21, of 144 Hobbs Run Road, and Daniel Patrick Johnson, 21, of 248 Big Shannon Run Road, both of Mt. Morris, are charged with conspiracy to commit robbery, conspiracy to commit theft by unlawful taking and conspiracy to commit simple assault.
The third man, Alan Michael Lipscomb, 22, who lives with Johnson, had not been arraigned as of Friday afternoon, according to Greene County Magisterial District Judge Lee Watson.
A criminal complaint filed with Watson said two men entered the bakery around 3:54 p.m. Thursday and one of them brandished a large knife.
Store employee Laura Mallek told police the man with the knife demanded money. Mallek complied and handed him $446.
Mallek and a second employee, Stephanie Burich, described the two men to police and provided surveillance footage. The male with the knife, who they described as having sandy blonde hair, acne, and wearing a yellow hooded sweatshirt with a bandana covering his face, is alleged to be Paugh. The second male, described as wearing a blue hooded sweatshirt and also with a dark bandana covering his face, is alleged to be Johnson.
According to Mallek, the second man did not speak and did not display any weapons.
As police were about to leave the scene, the bakery received a call from Sorella's Pizza at 420 Mount Morris Road.
Bakery employees told police that the owner of Sorella's called to alert them three men were at his restaurant acting nervous and she saw a yellow sweatshirt in the backseat of their vehicle.
Trooper Daniel Barnhart said he left the bakery and proceeded to Sorella's where he encountered three men outside, including Johnson and Paugh. Barnhart said he asked Johnson if they had driven there and he pointed out a tan 2004 Chevy Cavalier as his. Barnhart looked in the window and saw a yellow sweatshirt and a gray sweatshirt on the backseat.
Barnhart said he told Johnson he was investigating a robbery where one of the actors wore a yellow sweatshirt and requested permission to look at the one in his car. According to the complaint, Johnson gave permission to look at the sweatshirt but said he did not want Barnhart to search his car. Barnhart said he noticed a West Virginia University logo on the shirt when Johnson retrieved it from the car. This was consistent with the surveillance footage provided by the bakery.
Barnhart then noticed several hypodermic needles on the seat where the sweatshirt was located. He told Johnson he would be applying for a search warrant and the car would be towed to the state police barracks in Waynesburg.
According to Barnhart, Johnson said he did not want the car towed and gave verbal and written permission for a search. Barnhart said he found a large kitchen knife under the front passenger seat that matched the description of the one used in the robbery at the bakery.
Johnson allegedly told Barnhart that the yellow sweatshirt belonged to Paugh. and a black knit cap was found inside of its hood.
The two men were taken into custody, transported to the state police barracksand interv ewed.
Police said Paugh told them he took Johnson and Lipscomb to the old bank parking lot in Mt. Morris. Paugh said he believed they were going to scam an old lady out of money and they told him they would be back in 15 to 20 minutes. According to Paugh, when they got out of his car, Johnson was wearing the yellow sweatshirt and Lipscomb was wearing the gray one.
Paugh and Johnson are being held on $250,000 straight cash bond. Their preliminary hearings are scheduled for 1 p.m. Sept. 30 before Watson.

The 13th annual Sister to Sister Summit of Washington County is scheduled for April 12 and 13 at Citizens Library. Part of an international series of Sister to Sister Summits, this overnight conference is sponsored locally by the Washington branches of the American Association of University Women and Business and Professional Women and Outreach Teen and Family Services, with support from Citizens Library, Domestic Violence Services of Southwestern Pennsylvania and Washington Hospital Teen Outreach.
Teen facilitators have been trained to lead small groups of sixth- and seventh-grade girls in discussions about dealing with peer pressure, decision making, creating positive friendships and developing feelings of self-worth. The following statements reflect the passion and commitment these young women bring to this endeavor.
• "I would like to have the opportunity to positively influence young girls in my community. I would also like to share my experiences and learn from the other facilitators. As a facilitator, I would strive to build up those around me." – Hayley Georgetti, Chartiers-Houston High School
• "I would like to be a facilitator because I would like to be a positive role model to young girls. It is important to me to know that I will be able to have the opportunity to have an impact on the lives of the young girls that will attend the Sister to Sister Summit." – Michaela Gerace, Burgettstown High School
• "I would like to be Sister to Sister facilitator because of the knowledge that I have of what many of the young girls experience on a day-to-day basis. As a teen myself, I understand the many pressures, negative influences and, often times, violence that girls are exposed to in this specific age group. I would like to be a positive role model and leader to many of the girls that will be at the Sister to Sister Summit." – Chelsea Howard, Washington High School
• "I would like to be a facilitator because I was a facilitator last year for Sister to Sister. I honestly had the most fun bonding with the students and helping them with the struggles and issues they were facing. I honestly have always had a true passion for helping others. I love bonding with people and making new friendships." – Shayna Mikec, Washington High School
• "I would like to be a facilitator because I want to help educate younger girls with good ways to avoid peer pressure, being comfortable with body image and dating tips." – Abby Holmes, Canon-McMillan High School.
• "I would like to be a facilitator so that younger girls can learn to cope with changes, emotions and problems they may encounter growing up." – Kelly Luisi, Canon-McMillan High School
• "I would like to be a facilitator because I love helping people and I enjoy working with younger kids." – Desiree Dayak, Avella High School
• "I would like to be a facilitator for many reasons. Some would be because I would like to help young girls with problems they have in today's society. Also, I feel that talking to young girls would help them in the decisions that they will be faced with later in life. Finally, I would like to be a facilitator because young girls need others to talk to who have been through what they are going through." – Shealyn Brown, California High School.
• "I would like to be a facilitator for three main reasons. First, I love meeting new people. I always am excited to meet other people my age, make new friends and connect with others. Second, I enjoy giving advice to those seeking it. Many of my friends often ask me for advice, and I do my best to help. It is never a burden to help others out. Third, I have always wanted to be a role model for younger girls. My sister is in eighth grade, and I love when she looks up to me as a sort of role model. As a facilitator, I could be this "older sister" to the girls. The opportunity would make me very happy." – Katrina Fleeman, Burgettstown High School.
• "I would like to be a facilitator because I believe it is important to mentor young girls about problems they face today. I went through scenarios in middle/high school and find it easy to relate to them. I want to spread the message about being confident and proud with whom you are. I want to be able to let the girls know they can be independent and make smart, healthy decisions." – Lauren Moore, Washington High School
• "I would like to be a facilitator because I think helping younger girls into the high school level is needed. My first year of high school was rough because I was moving to a new school where I knew no one. It was hard, and I didn't really talk to anyone. I would like to help girls who may have some of the same issues." – Kelsey Melone, Chartiers-Houston High School
• "I would like to be a facilitator because I as a teenager could easily give them advice from my point of view. By being an older individual, I know what went on in sixth and seventh. I know how being bullied feels, and I know how it feels to be alone. By experiencing the things I did when I was their age, I could tell them how to react or how to fix things." – Dena Simonelli, Avella High School
• "I want to be a facilitator because I have been there. I have walked in the shoes of a girl in sixth and seventh grade trying to work through social changes and trying to balance everything with school work. I love to help and would love to simply hang out and talk with these girls while helping them out in this not-so-easy time." – Emily Rush, Avella High School.
• "I was a facilitator last year. Overall, it was a fantastic experience. The fashion show was a great ice breaker, and all of the games were fun for both the girls and me. This was obviously planned by some smart, dedicated women. The girls loved bonding with the facilitators early in the night, and were more open during our serious chats. A negative note from last year? Only the lack of sleep, but that was well worth it." – Elizabeth Mansfield, Canon-McMillan High School.
• "I realized when I attended S2S in seventh and eighth that my facilitators made a big impact on me and helped me. So, I would like to do that for other middle school girls, too. I've had many experiences that have made me be the person I am today, and many of them have made me good at working in groups with others and accepting many different people. I actually participated both years and enjoyed it a lot, which made me want to continue helping and volunteering for it. It was a lot of fun, and I felt like we were all one big family by the end. It was a great experience, and I hope to see many new girls' faces attending this year with us." – Cassie Clayton, Chartiers-Houston High School.
• "There are many reasons why I would like to be a facilitator for S2S. One reason is that I love working with others. Also, I like to help people with their problems and help them get through tough times. I am an easy person to get along with. An activity that I participate in that I've had experience with in small groups is flags. I am used to the small groups and working together with people. I have never participated in S2S before, but I am honored that I was chosen to be in it this year, and I'm sure I will have a wonderful time with new people." – Ledaya Oakley, Chartiers-Houston High School.
• "I've been through so many different experiences throughout my life. I never had anyone I could talk to. I want these girls to know that there's good, strong and independent women out there they can talk to. I participated in S2S when I was in eighth grade, and I loved meeting new people. I'm in the marching band, so I'm very good at working with others and working hard." – Tamera Bates, Chartiers-Houston High School.

text: the game sucks. its too easy. the boards are lame. the boss fights are a joke. the lore pieces are pointless-why would anyone want to look at comic covers, bios, or game art? there are no secret boards to speak of nor is there any reason to complete the game in hope of exploring a new world. its barely good enough to entertain for a few minutes.

PITTSBURGH – The Washington Capitals have had a lot of problems this season.
Lately, the Pittsburgh Penguins have been one of them.
The Penguins scored five goals in the second period and beat the Capitals for the second time in five days, 5-2, before 18,650 at the Consol Energy Center Thursday night.
"That second period was a lot of fun," captain Sidney Crosby said. "We generated a lot of chances and capitalized on them.
The Penguins have a five-game winning streak and have also won six of their last seven games.
Three of the goals came on the power play as five different players scored. Crosby had Evgeni Malkin each had a goal and two assists. Crosby extended his scoring streak to six games (two goals and 10 assists) and moved into a tie for second in scoring in the NHL.
Washington actually led 1-0 on Mike Ribeiro's goal at 4:12 of the first period. A collision in the crease knocked goalie Marc-Andre Fleury down and dislodged his mask, giving Ribeiro an open net and easy goal.
But the Penguins answered with five goals in just over 12 and a half minutes. The power play succeeded despite the absence of quarterback Kris Letang, who was sidelined with a lower body injury.
"We've been working on the power play a lot," winger James Neal said. "We stuck with the game plan and I think we wore them down."
Malkin scored the tying goal on a power play at 6:59, taking a cross-ice pass from Crosby, then patiently waiting, picking a corner and putting a shot over goalie Michal Neuvirth's glove.
"That was as good a shot as I think you're going to see," coach Dan Bylsma said. "It was an impressive shot."
Pascal Dupuis made it 2-1 at 12:49 when he was able to whack a bouncing puck between Neuvirth's pads.
That led to a goalie change, but the Penguins were just as relentless against replacement Braden Holtby.
Neal scored his seventh on a power play at 16:33. He took Chris Kunitz's pass, skated along the goal line, then pulled back and slipped a backhander under the sprawling Holtby's body.
Brandon Sutter won a faceoff at 16:44 to set up Matt Cooke for a one-timer. Crosby closed the scoring at 19:38 when he batted Malkin's rebound in on a power play.
Bylsma called it a "single up the middle," referring to the baseball-like swing Crosby took.
"We just made the most of our opportunities," Crosby said. "We had some good looks and made them count."
Bylsma praised the work of defenseman Paul Martin, who took some of Letang's power play duty.
"Paul was really good tonight," Bylsma said. "He distributed the puck really well and that was a big factor."
Bylsma also lauded defenseman Dylan Reese, who made his NHL debut after being recalled from Wilkes Barre. Reese, who grew up in Upper St. Clair, was signed as a free agent during the summer and got his call to Pittsburgh after Ben Lovejoy was traded to Anaheim on Wednesday.
"I thought he was outstanding," Bylsma said. "He can skate well, he went back for pucks well and you saw him do a lot of good things, alleviating pressure in the defensive zone. He's played a lot of games in the NHL and it looked like it tonight. He did a great job."
Reese had played 74 previous NHL games with the New York Islanders. He became the fourth Pittsburgh area native to play for the Penguins. He played 14:07 and blocked two shots.
"It's an awesome opportunity," Reese said. "It's just a great feeling. It was a great experience, a great feeling, and most importantly we won the game."
Alex Ovechkin scored a power-play goal in the third period for Washington, which fell to an NHL-worst 2-8-1.
It was the Capitals first loss in regulation in Pittsburgh since Feb. 18, 2007. They had been on a 8-0-2 streak. … It was just the second time in 11 games that the Penguins didn't score the first goal. … The last time the Penguins scored five goals in a period was Jan. 5, 2011 against Tampa Bay at home. … Four of Neal's seven goals have come on the power play. … The Penguins open a home-and-home series against the Devils in New Jersey Saturday at 1 p.m..

Most cell phones that users buy are tied, or 'locked' to a single carrier's network. Carriers do this because they don't want consumers to take their business elsewhere and we put up with it because the carriers are usually subsidizing the cost of the phone. But it doesn't have to be this way. You can also buy an 'unlocked' phone that will run on any carrier that supports the network architecture used by the phone, although as a practical matter, such phones have to use GSM. The benefits of using such a phone are considerable. In this special report, BYTE contributing editors Chris Spera, Max Cherney and Serdar Yegulalp explain why consumers might want an unlocked phone, how to go about getting one and activating it and why it doesn't work with all phones on all networks. They also provide background on why phones are unlocked, and the legal implications of unlocking them yourself.
Carrier locked, or just "locked" phones are commonplace in the U.S. Most everyone we know has a phone that's been locked for some length of contract term by either a national or large regional carrier. It's really just the way we're used to buying into the cellular market consumers pay a subsidy in order to be able to pay a little for a high-end phone. The tradeoff is they lock themselves into a long-term wireless communications contract for a minimum of one year.
In Europe, it's a different story. Many high-end phones are sold without a subsidy and at prices higher than in the US. Popular cell phones are not cheap at full list price: an unlocked iPhone 5 runs from $649 (16GB) to $849 (64GB) In the UK the iPhone 5 starts at €529 which works out to $687 at the exchange rate as we write this.
Consumers pay a lot now usually $400 or more over the lower, subsidized price but can take their phone to the compatible carrier of their choice, shopping around for a wireless communication plan that meets their needs and budget. The differences between the two approaches can be summed up as follows:
It's Now Illegal to Remove a Cellular Carrier Lock
Put simply, a carrier locked cell phone contains software that prevents its use on any unintended cellular network. According to provisions in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, phones purchased as of Jan. 27, 2013 may not be unlocked without the expressed permission of either the hardware manufacturer or the cellular network it is currently locked to, or both. Doing so without permission is now considered illegal.
Under the DMCA, the Librarian of Congress has the discretion to grant exemptions to portions of the act. Prior to Jan. 27 such exemptions were granted, but they have expired and he has no plans to grant a new one.
InformationWeek's Eric Zeman asks what is the upside for enterprises if lawmakers allow unlocking of phones?
The outrage over this change led to a petition on the White House website to end the ban. The White House expressed sympathy with the petition and R. David Edelman, senior advisor for Internet, Innovation, & Privacy, said they would pursue changes, but in the meantime unlocking without permission remains illegal. Performing an unauthorized device unlock is currently punishable by up to five years in prison and a $500,000 USD fine.
But many carriers allow, even assist with unlocking your phone once your contract is up.
Next: You buy and use an unlocked phone...

Whether you are commuting or hitting the race track, Galfer Sportbike Brake Lines are a great upgrade over your stock OEM rubber brake lines. They are constructed of a 64 strand stainless steel braid with a PTFE 62 Teflon inner lining giving them a "zero expansion effect", this gives the rider a more consistent and confident braking feel.
Most manufacturers recommend replacing the OEM rubber brake lines after 2 to 3 years. Over extended use OEM rubber lines wear down and lose performance.
All Galfer Sportbike Brake Lines consist of two brake lines running from the master cylinder down to each brake caliper unless otherwise noted below.
Note: Image for reference only. Actual Galfer Sportbike Brake Lines may vary depending on your make and model.

And Zeelar
Apologies if there is a previous thread about this - I'll leave it up to the mods to merge this thread with something appropriate.
We know there are at least 2 Cosmic Enforcers - ZodaC and ZodaK. Do you think we will get Strobo and maybe Tekno in MOTUC?
Got Fur
I want a Glimmer by the end of 2012 and Extendar by 2013!
Other Wants:
MotU: Rokkon, Stonedar, Dragstor, Modulok, Multi-bot, Horde Trooper, DB Skeletor

I get the feeling that Wun-Dar will also be a cosmic enforcer
I really hope Wun-Dar is another CE, I think is the only way I can like him
Behold the gaseous stench of Skeletor's breakfast burrito!Robot Chicken dixit

It would be cool to see the other Cosmic Enforcers down the road.
We need Sy-Klone for Strobo and Trap Jaw is on it's way for Tekno.
Zeelar has a lot in common with Zodak/Zodac.
I searched for pictures of the other Cosmic Enforcers.
Strobo ZodaC & Tekno:

MOTU needs a woman Cosmic Enforcer.
Tekno is not a MOTU Character! He just looks like one!

What's the story with Strobo? I am unfamiliar with him, but he's neat-o!
Too bad Mattel can't do Fuerza-T. They could be fun additions.
MOTUC Most Wanted: Skeleteen, Prince Keldor, Captain Randor, The Great Black Wizard, Lady Slither, Spirit, Tuvar, Baddra, Cursed Marzo, Tug-O-War, Scrollos, Songster, Mini-Comics Spirit of Castle Grayskull, and for the love of the Sorceress and Julie Winston, ODIPHUS!!!
Instagram: Just_Thommy
I can't see why Mattel can't make Fuerza-T figures.
They are the exact same vintage MOTU molds in new colors...
Aren't they like knock-offs from MOTU?
Tekno has all existing figure parts:
- Zodac head
- Trap Jaw arms
- He-Man body
Perfect for a bonus figure made with all existing parts!
In my fandom though, Wun-Dar and Green Goddess were the KG/He-Man and Sorceress between KG's era and He-Man's. Sort of the 'dark ages' of MotU. He becomes an Enforcer when Zodac comes down to train GG's replacement Sorceress. He nabs Wundy too for the Enforcers.
I also have He-Ro be the founder and leader of my Enforcers, because I like that. It also gives a "He-Man person" as leader of each of my good guy factions. He-Man leads the modern era, KG the ancient, and He-Ro the Enforcers.

He didn't even have a cosimc enforcer uniform. He didn't have a helmet or the armor.
He probably was more like an embassador.
If we want to add another Cosmic Enforcer to the line well Zanthor became one in the episode " Golden disks of Knowlegde"
here's a picture of Zanthor.

Doensnt Zodaks new bio make him a Elders embassador too?
All he needs is a cape and some repaint. I will buy him.
Hells yeah I'd be down for some more servants of the Overlord of the Timeless dimensions! Ever since Vol. 3 of the MVC comics I have wanted those guys. Gbagok's also depicted them in his and Iceman's epic fan fic Slave City. At the very least Mattel could make the Alien looking one as the Fourhorsmen came up with that design. Mattel could even re-use parts of the upcoming DC Universe Classics Deadman!
I'd be down for Zeelahr. I'd love to have toys of all the Council of Elders! Zeelahr probably served an important role as their ambassador before King Hiss devoured him. Looking at Gbagok's image, Mattel could easily make him. He could even come with a second head that could be used for his brother Zodak!
'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments" (Matthew 22:36-40).
Then yeah he can perfectly be an enforcer. Now we just have to wait and see if Mattel wants him to be one. Unfortunately he wasn't mention in Zodak's Bio.
I like the concept of "trio" for Zodac, not the "Green Lantern Corps" one. Someone has pointed that Zodac symbols represets the equilibrium of Good and Evil and the Neutral is the center.
So for me there are 3 Zodacs:
- Zodac (whike skin) - The Evil One, a mercenary, a traitor.
- Zodak (dark skin)- The Good One, a peacemaker, a defender.
- Zodax (alien)- The Neutral One, a beholder, a judge.
Tecno is not a Motu character
Wundar uses the Zodac´s weapons, but is not one of them.

Owner of Little Joe's Market
Joseph "Little Joe" Trovato, 79, of Canonsburg, passed away Friday, November 16, 2012, in Allegheny General Hospital, Pittsburgh, with his loving family by his side, after an extended illness.
He was born March 23, 1933, in Curinga, Provezia di Catanzaro, Calabria, Italy, a son of the late Giovanni and Caterina Monteleone Trovato.
Mr. Trovato lived in Canonsburg since 1955 and was a member of St. Patrick Roman Catholic Church.
He was the proprietor of Little Joe's Market on Jefferson Avenue in Canonsburg for more than 50 years. In addition, along with his wife and sons, he ran the popular Trovato's Italiano Ristorante for 25 years. He was very active in Italian heritage organizations and was known for his delicious spaghetti Aglio e Olio at the annual Cara Amici picnic at Meadowlands Farm.
Mr. Trovato enjoyed cooking with his family, including his mother-in-law, making wine, curing olives, playing cards and gardening. He was an avid bowler.
Upon his death, his doctor and longtime friend, Robert Lesnock, said, "Canonsburg has lost one of her great sons, who gave generously to the community." He leaves behind, in addition to numerous friends, his two faithful pets, Angel and Wrinkles.
On June 1, 1963, he married Anna Marie Bazan, who survives. Also surviving are two sons, Joseph Trovato of McMurray and John (Melissa) Trovato of Canonsburg; and several cousins, nieces and nephews.
Mr. Trovato was the last of his immediate family. Deceased are three brothers, Nicolo, Antonio and Sebastian Trovato; and a sister, Vittoria Tilliegi.
