Although it has a new transformation, at the core it's the same figure as any other Constructbot. I do like the look and think this is better than some Predakings we've gotten I can only recommend it if you find it at retail.

This is the ONLY construct bot I have as the other 3 purchased all went to Goodwill after assembly. I wasn't happy with the look of them at all. This one is different and is a stand alone figure I think. This is the ONLY Predaking I've picked up as well. My local Target now has 15 of these warming the shelves and they are discounted a little to $23.00 and some change. Initially I got the last one and it took a long time for more to come in. If your Target is overly stocked with them...I would suggest waiting until clearance time.
Nice to know it's not just me. I'm curious how those new ball joints will hold up over time.

Quality-One Lee D Dawson 248 280 4800 Lean Product Development • How to Use Risk Determination to Increase Velocity of Product Development 1 • Product Development is the lifeblood of an organization. • Successful Future product and service offerings keep the customers coming back. • We strive relentlessly, for products and services which delight our customers assuring loyalty and future success. • With so much riding on product development and the ever increasing complexity of our products and services, how do we decrease the potential for failure and simultaneously, increase our velocity to market? Lean Product Development 2 • Increased Velocity to market with a product or service, "that exceeds the customer's expectations" some say is impossible. • More time "not less" is required to assure reliability. • The purpose of this discussion is to challenge the notion that speed and effectiveness are not compatible. • Taking less time to get a product in the marketplace is indeed practical and possible. Lean Product Development 3 • Risk can play a critical role as a measure of progress and an indicator of future reliability and quality. • The measurement of risk as a substitute for actual failure has led teams to faster product/service introduction (10% + faster) with far fewer concerns than if driven by physical test failures of prototypes (60% less issues). • Managing Risk in product development, as a primary indicator, keeps the teams focused and provides discipline in • Design Reviews, • Test Planning, • Effective and least expensive Quality Controls at launch Lean Product Development 4 • What is Lean Product Development? • Lean PD is a term which describes the removal of wasteful steps that may exist within the PD process. • Often, success of Lean PD has been translated into two measures • Speed to market • Improved Reliability Premise of Lean Product Development 5 • Reliability and going fast are believed to be mutually exclusive and in reverse correlation to one another. • And many times they can be. • This is due to specific type of waste that exists in PD Premise for Lean Product Development 6 • Waste comes in several basic forms • Muda - Non productive or non value added • Mura - Unevenness • Muri - Over burdened What waste exists in PD? 7 • Muri • Is the specific waste that exists in Product Development • Over-burdening (Muri) PD comes from two of the seven wastes • Over processing • Trying to do too much in a limited (typically reduced) time to market opportunity. • In PD, a relationship exists between content change and time to market. • Waiting • Time is wasted between the time a failure is created from the point in time it is found. • Too much emphasis on evidence before taking counter measures What waste exists in PD? 8 Trying to do Too Much. Over processing 9 • Product Development is a Failure Factory • Each click of a mouse in a CAD system, material selection, or process method selected brings with it the potential for failure. • Failure is an act of the Design Engineer both product and process • Failure must be avoided or controlled before the product can come in contact with the customer. • But how many failures are there to find and prevent/control? • This is the great unknown of Product Development The Failure Factory 10 2 Failure Mode Discovery Number of counter-measures (3 Counter Measure adopted) Number of failures found 1 Failure Mode Creation Cost of developing Counter-measure 0 T1 T2 T3 T4 T5 11 • The integral or area under the curve is determined by the quantity of change that is being managed in the PD process • Small amount of change lowers the height of the curve • Large amount of change creates a higher curve. • The volume of the curve is also "unfortunately" unknown • We do not know the number of failures that exist when we are creating value in new products or services • To not acknowledge the amount of failure can often lead to: • Issues at launch • Reduced life of the product or service.

Managing Program Risk 15 • Red Risk greater than or equal to 10% or total new or modified changes (including past failure) requires resource assessment. • Personnel "Person Hours" • Time to task "estimated" • CAE or simulation capability and availability • Distance in Collaboration "Co-Located" • Difficulty to achieve " Design Risk Ranking" • Time Estimate is established based on assessment. • Orange Risk greater than 20 % alone or 30% accumulated with Red Risk requires resource assessment. • Yellow Risk is managed as exceptions as experienced.

Waiting 20 • Failure modes discovered late in PD • Result in late changes due to the inescapable need for counter- measures when failure is found • "Every Failure Will Be Found". • Based on when counter-measures are determined, there may be insufficient time to verify and validate. • If some counter-measures do not work, some failure modes will escape into the field. • This leads to customer dissatisfaction and warranty Excess Time for Counter Measures 21 • Finding Failure early translates to the measurement of risk and subsequent mitigation. • Looking for Risk in PD involves using: • Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) and Simulation Technology • Reliability by Design/Quality Planning Tools • Qualitative • Quantitative • Formal Technical Design Review (DRBFM) • Systems Engineering Test Strategies (V Model) Excess Time for Counter Measures 22 2 Failure Mode Discovery Number of counter-measures (3 Counter Measure adopted) Number of failures found 1 Failure Mode Creation Cost of developing Counter-measure 0 T1 T2 T3 T4 T5 23 Number of counter-measures 2 Failure Mode Discovery (3 Counter Measure adopted) Number of failures found 1 Failure Mode Creation Risk Discovery and mitigation drives the curve to the left achieving lower cost and speed time Cost of developing minimized Counter-measure 0 T1 T2 T3 T4 T5 24 • Risk is the defined as the likelihood of an objectionable event. • Hazard/Failure or Fault • Severity • Likelihood or Failure • Occurrence/ Failure Rate/ Likelihood • How well we measure risk, is determined by: • The legacy information available or what is known. • The tools and techniques utilized to discover risk. • Level of unknown New/Modified etc... What is Risk? • In Lean Product Development (PD), risk is the substitute for failure. • Risk is treated exactly the same as failure. • When risk is great enough, mitigation is required. • When risk is measured objectively, • Actions (counter measures) can be taken to mitigate the risk, prior to introduction of the product. • A risk based Design Review process is an integral part of a successful Lean Product Development process.

MSNBC newscaster Mika Brzezinski says President Obama is putting too much pressure on Congress to enact healthcare reform and thus may fail.
"I thinking there's this sort of gun to your head feeling (about) the stimulus, the bailout, and I think there may not be so much of an appetite for something to be rushed through," she said on the air, referring to healthcare.
"No you look at the stimulus. I've got some op-eds today… It's like thanks for rushing, what has it done? Do we need this again now in terms of healthcare?"
She says, "We're trying to book Gov. Brian Schweitzer, D-Mont, to talk about this, because he has real concerns about Obama-care."
Brzezinski made reference to a front page story in The New York Times outlining governors' worries about the expansion of Medicaid in Obama's healthcare plan.
"Apparently the Democrats as well as Republican governors were voicing deep concerns yesterday about the shape of the healthcare plan emerging from Congress, fearing Washington is about to hand them expensive new Medicaid obligations without the money to pay for them," she says.
The Obama administration needs the support of governors, "especially from people like Schweitzer who are allies – deep political allies."
Of course in the end, Congress doesn't have a gun to its head, which is why there is a good chance no healthcare reform will emerge. It is simply raising opposition from too many constituencies, the governors being one.
A Wall Street Journal story Monday pointed to another: Congressmen from wealthy districts, where residents won't be too happy about the tax increase Obama wants to charge the rich to pay for the healthcare plan.
And these aren't even predominately Republicans. Democrats now represent 14 of the nation's wealthiest 25 districts, according to Congressional Quarterly.

"Competition to develop new and improved zoysia grass seeds has increased the number of patented varieties available on the market, however we stock only the best, most sought-after varieties, instead of being limited to those from any one producer," said Rob Wendell, CEO of NaturesFinestSeed. "We select the best performing 'golf-grade'
Zoysia grass seed produces extremely drought-tolerant lawns due to its deep root system, and it will respond quickly to irrigation after a prolonged dry spell. Its fine texture forms a thick mat once it is established, because of this zoysia lawns have a high-tolerance for foot traffic making it ideal for homes with children or pets, and sport fields.
Zoysia grass grows in a variety of soil conditions, from clay to sandy, and requires adequate drainage. It prefers full sunlight, but it will tolerate some shade. Because it is a warm-season grass, zoysia grass will go dormant when temperatures drop.

Dion Phaneuf suspended 2 games
Steve Dangle
December 10 2013 10:23AM
The Leafs are playing two of the NHL's top seven teams over the next three games, and Dion Phaneuf will not play in two of them.
LFR7 - Game 31 - Bruintality - Bos 5, Tor 2
Steve Dangle
December 09 2013 05:10PM
Brace yourselves. Deathcember is coming.
The Leafs are taking too many penalties
Cam Charron
December 09 2013 11:20AM
The big news, I guess, is that Dion Phaneuf is facing a hearing for his hit on Kevan Miller at the conclusion of the Sunday game against Boston. While the Leafs were lucky enough that Nazem Kadri was suspended for a series of games that included Buffalo twice and the New York Islanders, the Maple Leafs can ill-afford to play Los Angeles and St. Louis without their top defenceman. So this could get interesting.
Onto other things:
I wasn't able to watch most of the Saturday game with sound, but I heard CBC's David Amber set up the game when the teams were skating onto the ice. He mentioned that the Ottawa Senators had been shorthanded more than any team in hockey. That can't be disputed, but it should be worth pointing out that the Senators (as of Monday morning) are fourth in the league in powerplay opportunities while the Toronto Maple Leafs are 28th.
Leafs Postgame - Leafs keep shots-against below 50, drop game to Bruins
Ryan Fancey
December 08 2013 08:05PM
The Leafs began the toughest stretch of what many are calling "Deathcember" with a rare Sunday tilt in Toronto against the Bruins tonight. With their next games against the Kings, Blues, Hawks and Penguins, two points against Boston would be big, especially since the Bruins are a team the Leafs played fairly well against in their first meeting this season.
LGD - Game 31: Bruins @ Leafs - "Goons." "Who?" "Hired Goons."
Cam Charron
December 08 2013 12:09PM
To quote Steve Dangle, the Leafs "have now won back-to-back games, and given up 50 shots in each of them, and had a different goalie win each of them. This goofy friggin' team."
Even when the Leafs win, they can't do so without escaping criticism. They've blown leads in their last two wins, but have wound up with two points against two teams that they won't have to chase come playoff time. In fact, the win before the one against Dallas, they also gave up 50 shots, this time to Washington. Every game, they gave up a late lead, 50 shots, and won in overtime. They haven't won in regulation in nine games now, and haven't beaten a playoff team in regulation in 19!
So yes, despite a two game win streak, everything isn't rosy in Leaf-land, although "winners of their last two" looks a hell of a lot better than "losers of their last five" which is what everybody was writing on Thursday. The good news is that there's enough games played that trends reverse rather quickly, which was a point I made in the Dallas pre-game.

Chairman says Egypt uprising positive for company; No talks for Vodafone Egypt buy-out "for time being"; Staff pay rises won't necessarily cut profit - Reuters
July 9, 2011 10:00 by p.deleon
Egypt's revolution has not dimmed Telecom Egypt's ambition to push further into mobile phone services and the company aims to secure a mobile virtual network license towards the end of the year, its chairman said.
The mostly state-owned landline monopoly is relying, for now, on data services to offset lower fixed-line income and has also been trying to establish a mobile operation to boost longer-term growth prospects.
Telecom Egypt owns a 45 percent stake in Vodafone's Egyptian mobile venture but does not have management control and only consolidates part of the profits from that business.
Analysts have played down the prospect the army-backed government overseeing the country since the overthrow of President Hosni Mubarak in February will take major decisions affecting the telecom sector without a stronger popular mandate.
But Telecom Egypt chairman Akil Beshir said it was in talks with the national telecoms regulator over an MVNO license.
"Many people do not expect this government to take a major decision like introducing an MVNO, but we keep working on it," he told Reuters in an interview, adding a decision to grant the licence could come towards the end of the year.
Beshir said his goal was to transform the 80-percent state-owned company into a "total telecom service provider" and that meant pushing into mobile services as a priority.
Vodafone Egypt and Mobinil dominate the mobile market, followed by Etisalat Misr.
Telecom Egypt offered, a year ago, to buy out Vodafone's 55 percent stake in Vodafone Egypt but the two sides could not agree on a price and Beshir said there were no talks over a buyout for the time being.
"So, MVNO would be a good way of leveraging the partnership," he said, indicating Vodafone could collaborate on the MVNO if it felt the service was not competing directly with its own.
The popular uprising in January and February disrupted Egypt's telecom industry, partly because the government cut off networks to try to stop people using phones and social media to rally against Mubarak.
While Telecom Egypt — which owns the bulk of Egypt's Internet and fixed-line infrastructure — reported a 10 percent drop in first-quarter net profit, Beshir said the revolution was positive for the company overall.
The central role played by social media in mobilising the opposition and bringing people into the streets helped boost the number of Egyptian Facebook users to 7.5 million from 3 million before the revolution, he said, a fillip for internet providers.
Expected pay rises for many Telecom Egypt staff, part of a trend of payroll increases across the economy in response to a wave of industrial action, would not necessarily mean lower profitability for the company this year, said Beshir.
"I cannot say (profit will drop) because … we are increasing revenue and profits and our net profit depends to a great extent on Vodafone Egypt profits as well," he said.
Beshir said the uncertain operating environment meant the company should be "conservative in cash" but also ready for any investment that would benefit shareholders, such as a shift further into the mobile segment.
"But if at any time we feel we do have the cash and we do not have any investment opportunity, then we will obviously have to use the cash for shareholders, either by buying back shares … or paying cash dividends."
He said the state, in need of funds, might decide to lower its stake in Telecom Egypt — the law allows it to sell it down to 51 percent — but that was not on the table for now.
The company was close to an agreement with rival Mobinil in a dispute over interconnection fees, Bashir said. (Editing by Dan Lalor) ($1 = 5.958 Egyptian pounds)

From Our Editors
Some clients go to spas to boost wellness with ancient rituals. Others go for the technology that helps them look their best. New Spa Me Inc. serves both categories of clientele with services from both the holistic healing and med-spa worlds. Treatments such as Thai herbal therapy and shiatsu draw from Eastern healing traditions thought to align energy and restore inner balance without surgically removing inner seesaws. On the other side of the spectrum, radiofrequency facials employ radio waves to deeply penetrate and tone skin. Both kinds of services are conducted within private treatment rooms whose lights may be dimmed for a relaxing, candlelit atmosphere or brightened to ensure medically exact treatments.

I believe you could take of advantage of that in your plan to help the "100 million Americans without Internet service"...
and/or savvy. In my experience, those who do not have Internet do not have computer savvy.
One of the requirements of the FCC would be to print, on paper, some elementary instructions,
much like the set-up messages than come with a new computer. 1. A lexicon of computer terminology. 2. Plug it in,etc.
You get the picture. 2. major corporations might give laptops to communities who particpate in the program.

Chairs, dance and Parkinson's Disease
September 12th, 2014 | Events, Faculty News
Chairs, dance and Parkinson's Disease will come together Sunday, Sept. 14, in Dancing with Parkinson's: Choreography for the Seated Position at Reynolda House Museum of American Art.
Led by Wake Forest dance professor Christiana Soriano, and performed by the participants of her Dancing with Parkinson's class, the event will explore how improvisational dance in the seated position affects movement in people with Parkinson's.
"We are looking at how chairs serve us in different and complex ways," Soriano said. "The chair enables them to take greater risk with movement."
Soriano began her Parkinson's research in 2012 when she began a study that looked at the way improvisational dance intervention changed balance and mobility in adults with Parkinson's. She led patients with Parkinson's in dance on a weekly basis throughout the study. After the study ended, Soriano continued to hold weekly classes at the request of her participants.
The performance is presented in association with The Art of Seating: Two Hundred Years of American Design, Reynolda House's current exhibition. Learn more about Dancing with Parkinson's: Choreography for the Seated Position on Reynolda House Museum of American Art's website.

Posted by a Real Estate client
My elderly parents went to him with a real estate transaction question about 3 years ago. He did meet with them/us for a period of time and then suggested they give him a $500 retainer for any future issues. They never spoke with him again. Recently I called him to inquire about returning their retainer. It took several phone calls to get an answer from him, and several more weeks to return their money. In addition, he was not very cordial when we finally spoke - asking why we waited 3 years to ask for the money back. When they finally received the check, he had deducted a large amount for the initial (and only) meeting AND also charged 1/4 hour of his time for talking to me (roughly 5 minutes) about returning their money - that he had the use of for about 3 years. Very petty and unprofessional.
Posted by a Landlord & Tenant client
I I would highly recommend Mr. Piper for any landlord-tenant legal matters. He handles all of our non-payment / eviction proceedings for our property management company. We manage over 4000+ units and the systems Mr. Piper has in place ensure there is nothing lost in any of our proceedings. I would strongly recommend him.

Life can be hard at times, but it's really hard if you are stupid.
I am a relator in my approach to people in that I derive a great deal of pleasure and strength from being around those who are close to me. I can sense the emotions of those around me and see the world through their eyes and share their perspective. I don't always condone choices they make, but I do understand how they feel. Many times people are drawn to me because they don't feel judged or threaten, just understood. I take responsibility seriously and have strong ethics. My approach to solving problems is strategic in that I am able to sort through clutter and arrive at the best route. My theme is, "What if, Select, Go with it." I am funny, generous, faithful and loyal to those who mean the most to me. Contactme at beefmilk period commercial. My days are sunny and bright even if it appears to be anything but good at the moment.

2003 Mazda Protege Q&A
2003 Mazda Protege Question: Cranks, but no spark. Only happens after short stop at store.
This has happened several times in the past year, ALWAYS when it was driven just a mile or two and then parked for a few minutes. On prior failures, (5 or 6) it has always resolved itself after sitting for 30-60 minutes. Tonight there was still no spark after sitting 75 minutes (temperature about 35 degrees). It started fine this morning at 24 degrees and a few minutes earlier. The other failures were in much warmer weather. Checked spark on both ignition modules - nothing, so it is something further up the line. Sensor? Relay? It has never failed to start when cold, only under the conditions described above. Check engine light has been on forever. The code is "random cylinder misfire". Mechanic has been unable to resolve that one. Clearing the code works for a week or two before it returns. - wally1121

Cleveland Browns planning $120M stadium renovation
The Cleveland Browns, who have long been the doormat of the AFC North, have bolstered their image and vastly improved their play in 2013. Surprisingly, they've done this mostly with a vicious defense. In what they hope to be a continued trend of improvement in the coming years, the Browns have unveiled a $120 million renovation plan for FirstEnergy Stadium to go with it.
Via NFL.com:
Browns CEO Joe Banner said the club will present its proposal, which includes the installation of new, high-definition video scoreboards, escalators and a reduction of 3,000 seats, to the city's planning commission on Thursday. The Browns also will meet with Mayor Frank Jackson and city officials about approval and funding for the project.
Banner wouldn't reveal who would be paying for the endeavor, but promised the Browns "will make a significant investment." The NFL recently approved a $62.5 million loan to the team to be used toward stadium improvements and Banner said all of that money will be applied toward the plan.
The use of public funds for new facilities has been an ongoing debate. The Browns plan the renovation to take place in the next two off-seasons – in which time they should probably find a franchise quarterback. Cleveland plays their biggest game of the season Sunday when they travel to Cincinnati to take on the 6-4 Bengals. Nobody is running away with the AFC North, and with a Cleveland win, Baltimore loss, and Pittsburgh win, every team in the division would be two or less games out of first place.

Starting this Friday, Maui OnStage is offering two different shows to get you into the holiday mood, both playing at the historic Iao Theater.
This weekend offers opportunities to hear music from Los Lobos and Makana, see encore screenings Maui Film Festival favorites or shop 'til you drop in Kula.
This Saturday, Nov. 23 from 4 to 10 p.m. is the Maui Film Festival's First-Ever 'FirstNight of FirstLight,' a trio of encore showings.
Take your pick of two very different offerings: a spoken word "choreo-poem" performance and a discussion of the Tibetan Buddhist practice of fearless death.
Referred to as "one of the greatest living slack key guitar players" by Esquire, we talk to Makana about his new album and the influences that led to it.
It's the weekend and these particular 48 hours offer fundraisers galore and three funky – two perhaps even avant garde – shows at the MACC.

There was approximately 1 million dollars bought by directors/et al in November. No more dry powder though :(
I read it differently. There was 1 director who bought 3,500 shares in November. All the other "Director" purchases were buys made by Global GP LLC, which was buying shares to give (no cash cost) to directors or employees in connection with GLP's long-term incentive plan.Then in the past week, Global GP LLC granted 3,600 shares to 3 directors as part of the LTIP plan. It still has something like 80,000 shares available for grant under the plan.I assume, but haven't bothered to confirm, that GLP is responsible for reimbursing Global GP LLC for these purchases in some fashion, since the compensation is going to GLP employees and directors.So it doesn't appear like there's any great amount of buying by the directors.But here's another question - I assume this winter's average temperature in GLP's footprint is lower than average, so that's good for sales of heating oil. But flights are getting cancelled, which can't be good for sales of jet fuel. And the snow is keeping people off the roads, which has to hurt the recently acquired gas stations.
JRad...I see the 3600 shares this week. I am also looking at a 3500 and 1200 share purchase on 11/17, as well as a 3300 share purchase on 11/18, as well as a 29,400 share purchase on 11/22, all of last year.I use e-trade and the last week shares are an exercise of options. The November trades say "purchase" only. As far as jet fuel sales go, I don`t believe Global is into this. On the web site it does not list it. Conoco Phillips in East Boston pretty much has the market cornered. They have a pipeline directly to Logan.As for the storm....hey it`s winter! Yes people aren`t driving today, but you can also say they stayed home, thus not turning their thermostats down.This seems like a "slow and steady" stock to me. You don`t get the major gyrations.I only have a small position, but if I had more dough I`d buy.
