Positive Experience
Average Interview
I applied through college or university and the process took 1+ week - interviewed at JPMorgan Chase in November 2012.
Interview Details There were 2 interviews one over the phone with senior HR recruiter with basic behavioral questions like why do you want this position etc. After this someone from HR contacted me saying they would like me for a face to face interview. In the face to face they asked me behavioral question and stuff from my resume. The face to face was set up were 4 different people and I spent half an hour with each individual. My advise would be be well prepared with stories relating to generic interview qs as well from stuff on your resume. Read the job description and pick up on keywords from it.
Interview Question – They were all regular generic interview questions the only this you should focus is how to relate your past experiences with the job. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – I didn't try to negotiate yet

Pierre Frisano is a productive artist of French post-War realistic comics, who has cooperated with both magazines and newspapers. After World War II, when he was only thirteen years old, Pierre Frisano falsified his birthdate, obtained his degree and went to work as a furniture-maker. Shortly before going into military service, he was introduced to René Lexis, who worked for Sagédition publishers. Here, Frisano (aged 14!) made his professional debut, making cover illustrations, short stories and novel illustrations. In 1952 he replaced Gérald Forton on 'Jim Cartouche', a series published by Ray-Flo publishers. Four years later, he cooperated on several female magazines, followed by a period of ten years drawing (mainly) vertical strips for Paris-Jour.
From 1972, Frisano teamed up with Jean-Marie Pélaprat to make a comics adaptation of the television series 'Daktari'. During the same period, he began a longtime association with Raymond Maric for the juvenile press. For magazines like Le Journal des Pieds Nickelés, Le Journal de Bibi Fricotin and Lili & Aggie Magazine, the duo created such series as 'Le Patrouilleur de l'Espace', 'Macchus', 'Gorak' and 'Skatié' until 1979. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Frisano worked for even more magazines, like Pistil ('Swen et Bogi'), Télé-Junior ('Fantômas') and Captain Fulgur ('San Kukaï'). He also made an album with 'Zorro' at MCL and cooperated on the publications of Edi-Europ, like Défi, Super Fantastik and Vautour. In addition, he drew for Larousse collections like 'L'Histoire du Far West' and 'Découvrir la Bible', and worked on episodes with 'San Kukaï' and 'Capitain Fulgur'.
In 1981, he started working with Maric again, with comics for Spirou magazine ('Contes Défaits', 'Pérouana Prince Inca'), Dargaud publishers ('Che Guevara - les Barbudos du Granna') and R.T.L. ('Othello', 'Aïda'). Other comics Frisano made in the 1980s, include 'Sébastien, les Chemins de la Vie' (with Jean-Paul Tibéri, Loubatières), and the adaptations 'Jacquou le Croquant' and 'Sans Famille' (published in Okapi). In the 1990s, he made 'Saint-Martin' and 'La Petite Thérèse de Lisieux', two new cooperations with Maric for publisher Le Signe. Between 1996 and 1999, Frisano and Maric made the historical series 'Courtisanes' for Glénat.

My 7 year old daughter couldn't wait to put her Legos together. Very specific instructions, easy to build, not so time consuming, they don't fall apart easy once built. She enjoyed building them herself! I thought it was going to be messy n complicated. They were not. All Legos came in bags organized in sections with instructions how how to build each. The box makes the lego house look larger than it is of course. When built its small. My daughter had so much fun! I do believe Legos are overpriced which takes a while to add to the collection. But it's a great way to have the kids save there allowance if they want more! I can't wait to add!

My girls (7 and 10) had a great time putting this together. It took them two evenings to assemble it. However, now it just sits and collects dust - they don't seem to have any interest in playing with it once it's assembled. They both REALLY wanted this because all their friends have them and they used some Christmas money to buy it. I think these Lego Friends are way overpriced but they are a cute option for girls.

I have been saving up for this! it is sooo much fun to play with. It is a GREAT addition to your LEGO friends city!The house is really realistic!I love how you can arrange the house any way that you want. Now for some pro's and cons PROS: The kitten is so cute! Purple 1x1 cone(those are so rare!) Olivia's mom and dad Swing that works! CONS: I think that they should have added a room for the parents...(do they sleep on the couch or something?) Maybe Olivia should have had a brother or sister. It was kida wierd that the front door was in the kitchen....But that made it unique! Well,that's it! I give that 5 thumbs up!!!!! â˜degrees Signing off!

About Me Aunt
My niece just loves this set. It is a great creative way to spend her time instead of watching TV. I love it personally because it reminds her of how important it is to stay focused to not mess up building and how to follow directions properly. This set took her about three days to build, only because she visits for a few hours on the weekends.
Great gift for a 7 year old

About Me Collector, Kid
I think the price should be reduced (at least some of it!) I'm making a village in my basement of Lego friends, but I don't go down their that often. I really like building them, but I don't think its much to play with. It also shouldn't be played roughly with. It is mostly a collectors item to build, but if you want you can still play with the sets!

When you get this set you are really excited and think it is a lot of but, but i really isn't that fun. what i mean is that my mom got me this is and i was super duper excited. i had fun building it. when it was done i played with it a lot but then it started to get boring. i already knew all the features and everything. i think lego friends but this set, not so much.

A Navarre mom died Friday night, following a two-car collision on U.S. Highway 98 at Green Drive.
Eileen P. Klein, 26, of Navarre, was pronounced dead at the scene around 8:35 p.m. on June 4.
According to a Florida Highway Patrol press release, Klein was a passenger in a car driven by her husband, Jason E. Klein, 27, when the car was struck by another, driven by Seanda R. Filek, 40, also of Navarre.
According to the release, Filek was traveling west in the westbound lane of U.S. 98, beside Klein, who was in the outside lane, to Filek's right.
A dog walked into the path of Filek, who tried to avoid the animal by changing lanes. Filek "failed to recognize (Klein) when changing lanes," causing the two cars to collide.
Klein steered to the right, left the road and overturned. Both Jason and Eileen were ejected.
Filek and her passengers, Andrew Filek, 6; Benjamin Filek, 4; and Joseph Filek, 9, all of Navarre, were uninjured in the crash.
Both Jason Klein and his second passenger, Riley Klein, 2, were taken to Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola for treatment of critical and serious injuries, respectively.
Neither Jason nor Eileen was wearing a seatbelt and alcohol is not believed to be a factor in the crash.
Charges are pending a traffic homicide investigation.

Loading... Disgrace: A Novel (original 1999; edition 2008)by J. M. Coetzee
Work detailsDisgrace by J.M. Coetzee (1999)
Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. I thought I would read something different. This book was ok bit boring in places but overall a decent read. Its the story of David the disgraced University lecturer who falls for one of his students. He then moves in with his adult daughter and tries to build up a bit of a relationship with her. She is attacked and David finds it hard to move on. This the story of man trying to find himself and not really getting any answers. Original and interesting story set in South Africa during the transformation from White to Black. I don't usually love novels like this--you can see the craft that goes into them, often, but I go for books that are more "novels of ideas," like reading a dissertation (maybe? That seems a cruel way to characterize Mann or Dostoevsky, but they're what I mean) or a little bit more fantastical. The numinous life! Jus'appy to be here! Maybe this simply means I don't like novels about real(istic) people? I like people. I almost wonder if it's just that it's so hard to do people right. Like, harder than a dissertation, harder than fabulism. DH Lawrence'd be one great example of a writer who does people mildly wrong, and you can see the craft like I say but ultimately he doesn't seem to produce psychically real blood-and-nerve-bags, only behaviorally real simulacra. Coetzee does people right. He makes you (me) feel that you so easily could have been David Lurie with a few different life circumstances (like being born a white-English South African--I know fuck-all about it, but if Die Antwoord can be believed, the Boers are doing much better at adapting to the brave new world and not mourning the cowardly old one). He perfectly conveys this situation in which people on both sides of the racial divide can feel themselves under threat, and entitled to take or at least fantasize about bloodsexcrime. But then the actual crime that occurs isn't at all sensationalized, not "…and then everything was different." It just feels like a really, really awful day, which in my limited experience is what this stuff feels like when it really happens. The narrative, the sensemaking, emerges in retrospect if at all. The politics are there, and the deft observations about empathy and the animal in the man. But they emerge out of a story about people that seems, I want to avoid the cliche "reporterly," but matter-of-fact. Unchoreographed. He does it immaculately, and you walk away feeling like you learned something gut level, unnecessary to intellectualize, about how human beings behave and collide under a particular set of emotional and social pressures. Remember how that was supposed to be the thing the novel could do that nothing else could? I have to admit, though, that I would have been fascinated to see how this would have come out if it were written by a black South African writer with Coetzee's powers. Bleak story of a mid life crisis for a professor in South Africa who makes some very bad decisions with a young student and his whole life and his daughter's life unravels. A devastating account of the humiliation of ethical pretense. Lays bare the utter failure of contemporary language to provide more than a quiet witnessing. What Coetzee stuns with here is the inadequacy of human dignity to suffice as our justification. This is a novel steeped in grace but the revelation is not the glory of man. It is a clear call to abandon all places of privilege. It is, however, not at all clear that this is also a call to live or to let live. There is only inarticulable release in the final scene. I don't think the book is a good representation of Africa but character-wise, I do find this book interesting. Don't get that wrong, I don't like the book and I don't think the book is flawless either. I was more than a bit more than just peeved at David Lurie and his naive impression on the world and his sexuality that he regressed as a mature character. But I do think its an interesting book that talk about rape application and essentially a coming-of-age book in the body of an adult with a childlike mind. "We put our children in the hands of you people because we think we can trust you. If we can't trust the university, who can we trust? We never thought we were sending our daughter into a nest of vipers. No, Professor Lurie, you may be high and mighty and have all kinds of degrees, but if I was you I'd be very ashamed of myself, so help me God. If I've got hold of the wrong end of the stick, now is your chance to say, but I don't think so, I can see it from your face." Page 35 Disgrace is a first POV narration and it does carry its limitation. David Lurie is clearly an unreliable narrative but human in every sense. He's prideful, arrogant, narcissistic and a fool with many degrees. He's a smart man but still an idiot nonetheless. The book's narrative is observant and often contradicts his action in so many ways which made the process of reading engrossing. Along the while, I forgot that he's a middle age man character which the book continuously reminded about. But it was clear that he was ignorant about many things on woman. Its hard to read the book without imagining a special Chinese water torture with him in it. Yes, he did get a karmic intervention which it took him by surprise and it does have its own facepalm moments when he became so obsessed about his daughter's situation and her apparently independence and stubbornness about the matter that he's literally taken off guard. The book is political and at times pushing his views through his characters. But at times, you did get caught up into his storytelling without anticipating it. The book is moderately visual but very clinical about the subject of sex. From Lurie's sexual escapades with Soraya, Melanie and Bev Shaw to the gang rape of his daughter and to his horror the child resulting from that rape. But for what its worth, Coetzee is surprisingly feminist, sensitive and stark about woman's issue. He did show exactly how rape is used as a weapon to manipulate a woman into subjugation. How Lucy was being manipulated into seeing that she was admitting defeat if she reported her rape because to her, it meant she was admitting defeat against her attackers. But as a result, she accepted her fate and willingly let herself fall into Petrus's manipulation who himself had a hand on her attacks. 'Hatred . . . When it comes to men and sex, David, nothing surprises me any more. Maybe, for men, hating the woman makes sex more exciting. You are a man, you ought to know. When you have sex with someone strange - when you trap her, hold her down, get her under you, put all your weight on her - isn't it a bit like killing? Pushing the knife in; exiting afterwards, leaving the body behind covered in blood - doesn't it feel like murder, like getting away with murder?' For all its worth, the core in this novel is about humanity with its flaws and adapting to change and forms of power abuse and difficulties when one faces frustrated views contradicting to oneself. Its hardly an enjoyable novel. Geographically unenticing. Stupid Marty Sue character with hedonistic tendencies. But still thought-provoking nonetheless. 'The question is, does he have it in him to be the woman?'
The book is written with Coetzee's accustomed steely restraint, and is, like all his work, a masterpiece of understatement. However, there is here what seems a new note of authorial irritation, not only, as might be expected, with the perennial intractability of language and the constraints of the novel form, but with the social changes that are occurring in his country, and in the world at large.
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0143115286, Paperback)David Lurie is hardly the hero of his own life, or anyone else's. At 52, the protagonist of Disgrace is at the end of his professional and romantic game, and seems to be deliberately courting disaster. Long a professor of modern languages at Cape Town University College, he has recently been relegated to adjunct professor of communications at the same institution, now pointedly renamed Cape Technical University:Although he devotes hours of each day to his new discipline, he finds its first premise, as enunciated in the Communications 101 handbook, preposterous: "Human society has created language in order that we may communicate our thoughts, feelings and intentions to each other." His own opinion, which he does not air, is that the origins of speech lie in song, and the origins of song in the need to fill out with sound the overlarge and rather empty human soul.Twice married and twice divorced, his magnetic looks on the wane, David rather cruelly seduces one of his students, and his conduct unbecoming is soon uncovered. In his eighth novel, J.M. Coetzee might have been content to write a searching academic satire. But in Disgrace he is intent on much more, and his art is as uncompromising as his main character, though infinitely more complex. Refusing to play the public-repentance game, David gets himself fired--a final gesture of contempt. Now, he thinks, he will write something on Byron's last years. Not empty, unread criticism, "prose measured by the yard," but a libretto. To do so, he heads for the Eastern Cape and his daughter's farm. In her mid-20s, Lucy has turned her back on city sophistications: with five hectares, she makes her living by growing flowers and produce and boarding dogs. "Nothing," David thinks, "could be more simple." But nothing, in fact, is more complicated--or, in the new South Africa, more dangerous. Far from being the refuge he has sought, little is safe in Salem. Just as David has settled into his temporary role as farmworker and unenthusiastic animal-shelter volunteer, he and Lucy are attacked by three black men. Unable to protect his daughter, David's disgrace is complete. Hers, however, is far worse. There is much more to be explored in Coetzee's painful novel, and few consolations. It would be easy to pick up on his title and view Disgrace as a complicated working-out of personal and political shame and responsibility. But the author is concerned with his country's history, brutalities, and betrayals. Coetzee is also intent on what measure of soul and rights we allow animals. After the attack, David takes his role at the shelter more seriously, at last achieving an unlikely home and some measure of love. In Coetzee's recent Princeton lectures, The Lives of Animals, an aging novelist tells her audience that the question that occupies all lab and zoo creatures is, "Where is home, and how do I get there?" David, though still all-powerful compared to those he helps dispose of, is equally trapped, equally lost. Disgrace is almost willfully plain. Yet it possesses its own lean, heartbreaking lyricism, most of all in its descriptions of unwanted animals. At the start of the novel, David tells his student that poetry either speaks instantly to the reader--"a flash of revelation and a flash of response"--or not at all. Coetzee's book speaks differently, its layers and sadnesses endlessly unfolding. --Kerry Fried (retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:33:04 -0400) At fifty-two Professor David Lurie is divorced, filled with desire but lacking in passion. An affair with one of his students leaves him jobless and friendless. Except for his daughter, Lucy, who works her smallholding with her neighbor, Petrus, an African farmer now on the way to a modest prosperity. David's attempts to relate to Lucy, and to a society with new racial complexities, are disrupted by an afternoon of violence that changes him and his daughter in ways he could never have foreseen. In this wry, visceral, yet strangely tender novel, Coetzee once again tells "truths [that] cut to the bone." (The New York Times Book Review)… (more) (summary from another edition) |

Fish and other seafood

That type of scallop is not native here. They are plentuful south of Cape Cod on the US Eastern Seaboard. I did find a personal web page about diving for scallops in Florida and they look a lot like those in your picture. Scallops here are much bigger. The meat alone is the size of those shells. Gulf of Maine scallops can get to 10 inches in diameter.
Divers are required to land scallops in accordance to the same law as draggers. When I went diving for scallops, we went out to a spot where a power cable lies between two islands. The nautical chart depicts a 50 yard area that is prohibited to draggers. Great spot to dive for scallops! Upon surfacing, we shuck (open and clean) each scallop and make sure there is nothing else but the allowed meats on board. If we have a particularly huge shell ("platter"), we'll keep it as a souvenir at no consequence.

Interesting difference between USA an UK/Australia. We are told that if you are serious about getting quality scallops, always buy them in the shell, the issue being that shucked scallops absorb water and this is a bad thing. In Melbourne, the markets will advertise scallops as being 'un-soaked/wetted', and these have cream coloured flesh, rather then the white flesh of the soaked scallops. Do you think it makes any difference?
Posted 05 July 2005 - 06:25 AM
Dry-packed scallops are left untreated and packed on ice.
I live a few blocks from the ocean, and go to a fish store a couple of miles from the ocean, but all the fish at the store come from Philadelphia. The days when when you could go to the docks along the inlet in Atlantic City and buy fish that had just been unloaded from the boats out back of the store are long gone.
Its been years since I was able to buy fresh bay scallops. When I asked the guy at the fish store about them he said "They cost too much". When I moved here they were cheaper than regular scallops since they don't travel well, and frozen ones are impossible to cook, unless you also like sauteed pencil erasers.

I have seen these sold all over Europe in various forms. At the Rialto market in Venice, I have seen them hopping like fleas as they are packed into paper cones, but here are two examples from the last few months of eating.
Morecambe Bay Potted Shrimp. Potting was once a great art in the UK. This method of preservation was used for beef, fish (especially char from the Lake district) and these shrimp. The shrimp cooked in butter and spices before being potted.
shrimp fritters from Sanlucar (Andalucia). These shrimp are mixed with chickpea and wheat flour then fried in olive oil

I've seen a cooler of those live tiny shrimp at the Vietnamese outdoor market here. I have no idea what their name is, so I've never been able to search for a recipe. Any idea?
Sorry - I have no idea of the Vietnamese name for these as I am not lucky enough to have shops that sell them. The best thing to do would be to ask the people in the shop to write down the name or even suggest a recipe.

Poached and served with a Normandy sauce (cider, creme fraiche etc)
Can you post this recipe?
Bit of a bastard of a classic. I did by eye, so I can't be too exact.
One cup of fish stock (made from giant halibut bits) was reduced with 1 1/2 cups of Normandy cider and a finely chopped shallot to about 3/4 of a cup (until is was thickened and looked a little glossy). One cup of creme fraiche was added to this and further reduced until there was a cup of sauce. This was strained. It should be a pale blonde sauce, but the cider changed colour during the reduction, so it turned out a little brown. Sauted mushrooms are added later (and traditionally, mussels, of which the juices can be used to enrich the sauce).
Fish is cooked in whatever way you see fit. I find that for me the best way is to loosely wrap in in foil with butter, aromatics and wine/cider and steam it in the fish kettle. In the oven also works well. Wrapped in wet newspaper and cooked on a BBQ is also excellent. Anyway, I used the former method as I wanted moist flesh and the skin intact. Any juices can be added to the sauce, which is corrected for salt and used at this point.
That's it, takes less then an hour.
Posted 21 July 2005 - 01:46 PM
Bit of a rushed job, simply fried in butter (not even clarified, horror). The flesh of these fish is quite pale and tastes similar to trout (brown).

Adam. is there a discernible difference in taste between the two species? I've never tasted them side by side.
Difficult to compare the two side by side meaningfully as good flavour in lobster varies from individual to individual. All of the North American lobsters I have had have been imported for instance. But, there basic flavour is similar I would say. Different to spiny rock lobsters ('crayfish') which I an use to in Australia for instance.

The blue highlights are startling. Once in a blue moon (sorry!) a lobsterman here in maine catches a pure blue lobster in their traps. Apparently the odds are one in 2million of getting a blue one. They build an aquarium for it when they find one. Here is a picture of one.
I think that there are two main pigment groups in lobsters, reddish and blues. The blue is heat sensative, hence they 'turn' red with cooking. I would guess that blue lobsters lack normal amounts of red pigment. They are most likely quite pale when cooked?

A little more information on the Langoustine. These are caught in large numbers of the Scottish coast, but are fairly widely distributed, hence the large amount of names for the same species:
Scientific name: Nephrops norvegicus
English: Norway lobster, Dublin Bay Prawn, prawn (scotland), scampi, langoustine.
-"Scampi" is the plural of the Italian scampo and refers to the breaded deep fried tails found as a common pub meal, "Langoustine" is french and is reserved for the whole shellfish or less pedestrian presentations of the flesh. British class rules apply even to shellfish.
Italian:Scampo is singular, scampi is plural.
- Although they are the same species, the specimens I have seen in the Adriatic tend to be smaller and have a brighter colouration (red spots on the claw joints) then the North Atlantic ones.
- I imagine that an Italian preparation of this shellfish is were the American "Scampi sauce" is derived from, even though it doesn't contain any actuall scampi.
Spanish: Maganto, cigala
There are also many other name variations, attesting to the popularity of the beast.

At left, fishmonger and fish at G. Armstrong in Edinburgh's Stockbridge neighborhood poses with a large specimen before applying his skills. The date: May 20, 2004. That evening, the shop burned down. Armstrong's window display in photo at right.
Posted 30 August 2005 - 10:55 AM
The large fish in your photograph is a wolf-fish, also know in Scotland as "seacat". It is a giant blenny, and has a nice flavour, no bones and a medium texture. Confined to the Northern Atlantic, more of a scottish fish then an english fish, so it has a low profile here. Heads are cute/ugly, but make excellent fish head curry.
Posted 30 August 2005 - 12:18 PM
When I was diving, rumour was that if you are bitten by one the jaws lock and you can never get it off without surfacing and having someone cut the bloody thing off you.
...well, it was a rumour!

Glad to see they are back in business at that location. Armstrong was among the purveyors you had recommended in response to a May 2004 inquiry I had posted seeking recommendations for Edinburgh purveyors. The fact that the shop burned to the ground the evening after I visited had NOTHING to do with the fact that I asked for a kipper, but when I unwrapped it the next day it was a fresh herring.How very curious. This is the same shop display (rebuilt) as of a few weeks ago from my foodblog.

Well, I suppose it's official now that Boba Fett's going to be in the live action TV show... hope it's for the best...
it should be a 3d one. but the it would have bad graphics cause it takes a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time to do that good.
My one wish is that they don't screw up Boba' personality and/or backstory, or even his future story...heck, I just wish they don't screw up. Period. I dont care what style of filming they do , so long as Fett stays true to his canon portrayal.
Im with MA
However, it doesnt seem to take much for Lucas to decide to "alter" some things about certain characters recently, making a change to Boba not too unexpected. But hey, there's nothing wrong with looking to the bright side (ie. the producers NOT messing Fett up).
Let's hope he doesn't ignore all material we have read from the books and totally mess about with continuity.
Yes, that would be pretty bad. And as the TV show would probably be considered canon, there would have to be a lot of ret-cons.
Well, that dooms us then. Cause there's no way he'd pay attention to continuity. For example, look at the Clone Wars cartoons. There are so many non-canon things in there and yet it is sadly considered canon while the true canon goes unnoticed. Just cause tv's more popular and people are more likely to have watched some stupid show than to have actually picked up a book and read it.
actually, since Clone Wars is being entirely re-done, the old show is kaput now.
Fett_II, wait, the animated Clone Wars series is being re-done? I thought they had to wait ten years to make special editions. /sarcasm
Talk about milking the franchise... as well as popular characters.. >_<;
I hope Daniel's acting has improved... >_>
On his IMDB page, he hasn't been in anything since 2003 in the "Legend of Johnny Lingo," which, unsurprisingly, I've never heard of...

Surprised this hasn't been mentioned, but Rick McCallum confirmed Boba Fett is in the Star Wars TV series in the Star Wars Insider. Not a surprise to us here, but it's another confirmation from the source.
I think I've said before that McCallum is not to be trusted, as he's "confirmed" numerous other things in the past that had no truth whatsoever.
Not denying it, just wondering but...such as?
Not denying it, just wondering but...such as?
im paraphrasing, but mccallum said on one of the dvd commentaries..."in episode three ur gonna find out why fett hates the skywalkers". and that was bull...
He also officially confirmed we would learn Yoda's species in ROTS. And also that Boba would be in ROTS. Those are all I can remember off the top of my head. There was an interview thingie with him but where there's more, but that's Hyperspace members only at sw.com and I let my subscription run out so I can't go look anymore.

@Miba: Did he announce those claims in SW: Insider too, or where those just internet claims? Because anyone can claim he said something over the internet, anyone can easily forge an interview, ya know?
Not that I would know if he's credible at all, I barely know anything about him, just trying to be reasonable...
Regardless, Boba's such a popular character it's pretty much inevitable that he'll be in the SW TV show...
Last edited by BFFC Manji (Saturday, January 19, 2008 9:22 am)
Yes, he said that in Insider. If I took a while of looking I could find which issues, but I'm a bit busy right now.
Ah, doesn't matter, I believe you. ;D
I don't think i'll ever trust Mccallum after he stated that Boba would be in Ep3, ah well here's to hoping
I finally found an image of the poster everyone was talking about last year at Toy Fair that started the speculation of Fett being in the new TV series. Not a grandiose as I thought it'd be, but still pretty neat. Enjoy.
Isn't that the poster that is on the front page of this topic?

And this is Fox News alert we're continuing to follow this hostage situation as it is unfolding in Indiana Trace Gallagher is tracking things live in -- new information.
And Los Angeles -- tell us Trace.
Valparaiso Indiana about 54 miles outside of Chicago to kind of recap for our -- -- you're looking in the building right there this is a prudential real estate office we've been seeing some activity outside the building -- facts and be able kind of walking around the perimeter and we just saw a short time -- -- van pull up as they widen out you'll see this is really kind of all hands on -- scenario we've got the sheriff's office there.
The police department.
The FBI the state police the swat teams -- -- the surrounding buildings there is a hostage situation inside this real estate office.
There are unconfirmed reports that gunshots were fired three gunshots is what one witness said and we do not know the number of hostages it could be anywhere from two to fifteen a -- at a neighboring business believes that fifteen people.
Work inside this office we mentioned earlier there was some word this might be a domestic situation.
We just called the public information officer he's knocking that down saying that he does not believe this is investigated to the swat teams -- -- -- their positions right there they just pulled this band up.
About three and a half or four minutes ago.
The shot got to keeps going in and out because they're 54 miles outside of Chicago and their satellite dish you see the cops gonna get in position right there.
They're satellite dish is 55 miles away -- the helicopters kind of maneuvering to get the best shot.
This is back lives Goddard this tape.
What -- were a movie -- this is tape again but you can see kind of the police moving in a different positions right Nash and they know who this guy is inside.
With the gun as were back to live pictures but they're not releasing his name.
They're trying to get some kind of a conversation going with him so they can negotiate.
As you see these guys kind of maneuver outside to get up on on better you know vantage points and they can get a look inside this office a real estate office.
A hostage situation still unknown the number of hostages at this point yet.
-- -- it sounds like buyout wire reports looking at and geographical region there around where this is playing out that there are three different schools nearby an elementary school actually two elementary schools and a middle school.
All of them on lockdown now as this entire neighborhood is kind of grinding to a -- you mentioned that there were some reports.
That they are shooting down about the possibility of -- and that's stake.
Argument on there are witnesses who have reportedly told media outlets that was -- -- view of what happened that this gunman did get into an argument there with a girlfriend.
It sounds like you may have updated information from the police that calls that into question and again as you mentioned police say they know -- the gunmen as they do know his name.
But not releasing it right now.
And it makes it more dangerous for the people who are inside this building if it's not a domestic violence issue mean this guy went in there with the beef.
With his girlfriend.
You know history will show.
That it tends to be less of a dangerous situation for the remaining hostages inside the building.
If this guys going in there with other intent which we do not know at this point in time and historically shows it is more dangerous for those who were inside the building.
We definitely know what police have confirmed that whoever is inside their holding these people.
Is armed.
You can see from the police response to swat teams on top of the building the state police surrounding it.
There was a report earlier that the FBI was trying to go inside the building or had gotten inside the building that right now is totally unconfirmed.
They appear to be setting up for the long run here you got the bands kind of it's around there and you're mentioning that the three schools are on lock down the neighboring businesses.
All the people in those businesses have also been told not to come outside.
And the police on their web -- are now putting out a statement for anybody who lives in this area.
Not to get close they had shut down the several blocks surrounding this town in Valparaiso which again is about fifty miles.
Outside of Chicago as you see police kind of maneuvering into position here is kind of fascinating to watch what's unclear at this point in time is.
If there's been any dialogue at all with this gunman if they know he is they let him know how to get in contact with him and that right now is in.
Question yes and -- just as you were speaking their something has come across and this is from the Associated Press -- from the wires their reporting that the police sergeant there.
That they've had contact with now says that officers have make contact with the gunmen.
They do not know if anyone is injured in there.
They also police are not -- at the gunman has made any specific demands that this report again just come passing from the Associated Press.
Is saying that they have been able to make contact with -- minutes we mentioned numerous times and you pointed out they do know who this individual is and they do know his name.
And maybe -- very soon we'll figure out exactly what he wants a working intended for the situation ever play out this way.
At all but again we're just finding out that according -- AP.
There has been some contacts now between police and the the suspect in this case but no word yet if anyone's been -- And it's interesting to to -- -- and that if there were shots fired inside we haven't seen any ambulances pull up so there's a good sign.
In this so far it is the fact.
That we have not get me reports of people being wounded inside and we have seen no ambulances pull up my apologies by the way it's pronounced -- Peru raise though.
Again outside of Chicago from our fox affiliate WFLD of the aerial shot there.
But again the number of hostages has not been confirmed when we get the number we will chime -- engine right Trace excellent work thank you so much.

Flashman |
"When all other trusts fail, turn to Flashman." - Abraham Lincoln. Inspired by one of the great literary heroes of our time (and our childhood), Harry Paget Flashman. Long may he live! Designed by Best Made in New York, drop forged in the fires of fourth generation axe makers Council Tool in North Carolina. Made for speed and portability, with canoeists and campers officially in mind. The handle of our Hudson Bay is longer than most, providing greater control when using two hands, and added safety with a farther reach when using one. The Hudson Bay is perhaps the most versatile axe as it combines the strengths of a larger axe for chopping, and the finesse and safety of a smaller one for delicate work. Based on the French Biscay Axe, the elegant and shapely Hudson Bay pattern was developed in 17th century and like the American Felling Axe, the Hudson Bay has since evolved into an icon of North American tool design, a top choice for many of the world's great explorers, guides, adventurers, environmentalists, foresters, and canoeists. |
Every Best Made axe comes numbered with our documentation and guarentee, and a fitted, top-grain leather blade guard. |

Russia is impossible to summarize. How does one sum up the world's largest country with a history spanning a thousand years? Its geography encompasses almost every imaginable landscape, its architecture runs from iconic fairy-tale palaces to Soviet concrete monoliths, and its politics have ranged from tsars to revolution. The culture that gave the world countless writers, musicians, artists and thinkers is today a troubled place, still working out its place in a post-Communist era. Travellers will have their work cut out for them, but the effort yields and intense experience and an adventure of a lifetime.

News Analysis
Transcos Reborn
Recent attrition raises the question: Consolidation or death spiral?
When GridAmerica LLC closes its doors at the end of this year, the number of independent transmission companies (transcos) in the United States will fall by one-fourth. Only three ITCs will remain: American Transmission Co. (ATC), International Transmission Co. (ITC), and Trans-Elect Inc.
GridAmerica's demise follows a string of misfortunes for U.S. transcos. In late 2003, for example, a consortium of utilities in Minnesota, Iowa, and other states abandoned an initiative to create a new transco called TRANSLink. A 2002 deal that Illinois Power inked to spin off its transmission assets to a Trans-Elect subsidiary ended with a federal lawsuit and settlement in early 2004. And proposals to create transcos in the Southeast have run aground on independence and control issues. No proposals for stand-alone transcos since have emerged.
Such attrition raises tough questions about the outlook for the budding U.S. transco industry.
"Momentum toward independent transmission slowed down, and companies are reverting back to vertical integration," says Masheed Rosenqvist, GridAmerica's COO. "Our objective always has been to purchase the transmission assets of the companies in GridAmerica. With utilities going back to basics, it didn't appear there'd be an appetite on the part of the participants, or encouragement from regulators, to move toward independence."
To the degree integrated utilities are unwilling to spin off their transmission assets, growth opportunities for transcos will be limited to expanding systems within their existing footprints, and pursuing occasional opportunities for raising new lines elsewhere. These growth prospects might be enough to sustain the existing transcos, but they seem unlikely to lead to new transcos forming.
Moreover, in addition to moving back to basics, utilities today might be removing a primary reason for transcos to exist. In short, they might end up putting more money into transmission systems than they have in recent memory.
"The industry is willing and committed to invest over the next five years," said Al Fohrer, CEO of Southern California Edison (SCE), speaking on behalf of EEI at a FERC technical conference on April 22. "We have to focus on [whether] investments in transmission on a risk/return basis make sense. It's not a corporate-model issue, it's a risk issue."
Given IOUs' stepped-up transmission investments and back-to-basics business focus, the outlook for stand-alone transcos might appear to be growing dimmer.
Appearances, however, can be deceiving. Recent developments suggest that despite some setbacks, the transco business might be ready to turn the corner toward a new phase of growth. In recent years and months, transcos have made major investments in transmission upgrades, and have received accolades for doing so quickly, efficiently and with a healthy dose of innovation (). Lawmakers at both the state and federal levels are viewing transcos in an increasingly positive light, and capital markets likewise seem to be taking a greater interest in the stand-alone transmission business.
"There's been a huge transition for transcos in the last couple of years, but overall the view is bullish," says Robert Mitchell, managing director of Trans-Elect, a stand-alone transco based in Reston, Va. "I

We just wanted to wish everyone safe travels this weekend and a happy Thanksgiving and Hanukkah.

If you have ideas on how to make Google Webmaster Tools better for site owners and search marketers, now is your chance to speak up!
Yesterday Matt Cutts posted on his personal blog a request for webmasters to provide feedback and requests for what they would like to see in Google Webmaster Tools in 2014. He threw out some ideas to get everybody's wheels turning by listing what he can imagine people may want.
He provides the disclaimer below but is open to suggestions. To submit feedback, go to Matt's blog and leave a comment.
To be clear, this is just some personal brainstorming–I'm not saying that the Webmaster Tools team will work on any of these. What I'd really like to hear is what you would like to see in 2014, either in Webmaster Tools or from the larger team that works with webmasters and site owners.
ComScore's latest monthly analysis on search engine market share shows that Google is still hovering around 67% market share, while Bing has moved up a little bit at the expense of Yahoo.
Last month comScore's report stated that Google's share of the US search market held steady at 66.9% for the third straight month. Google's search share had been at the same spot with very little fluctuation for a while, as it was at the same percent in October 2012.
With Google failing to neither gain nor lose its market share, Bing has been moving up in the world. After lingering at 17.9% all summer, Bing hit 18% for the first time in September, and hit a new personal high of 18.1% in October. In October of last year, comScore reported that Bing was at 16%.
While Bing's increase has not affected Google, it has caused Yahoo's search share to lessen to a new low of 11.1%. In October 2013, Yahoo's share of the US search market was 12.2%.
After the top 3, Ask Network accounted for 2.6% (up 0.1 percentage points) of explicit core searches, followed by AOL, Inc. with 1.3%.
The report states that in October, 19.3 billion explicit core searches were conducted, with Google Sites leading the way with 12.9 billion (up 4%). Microsoft Sites came in second with 3.5 billion searches (up 4%), followed by Yahoo! Sites with 2.2 billion (up 2%), Ask Network with 499 million (up 5%) and AOL, Inc. with 260 million (up 4 %).
This holiday season Google is opening six pop-up stores in major cities to promote its Nexus 7 tablets, Chromebook computers, and Chromecast smart-television tool. Consumers will have the chance to test out Google's newest toys in these showrooms, called Winter Wonderlabs. In addition to testing products, the showrooms will feature huge snow globes that consumers can walk into and take slow-motion videos of themselves playing in fake snow.
"The Winter Wonderlab is a fun and interactive way to experience all of Google's new gadgets in one place," the company said on a new website that was rolled out Sunday.
Currently there are Wonderlabs in New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Sacramento, Washington, DC and Paramus, NJ. The Wonderlab website does not say anything about additional cities being added, but I have my fingers crossed that they will bring one to Miami!!
The New York Winter Wonderlab will run from Nov. 16 until Dec. 22, and the New Jersey installation will run from Nov. 16 until Dec. 24. I'm guessing the other cities will run on a similar timeline.
Have you been to a Winter Wonderlab yet? If so, let us know how it was and share your snowglobe video!!

I have to admit, the ad got my attention so fast, I couldn't open the email fast enough … then I had mixed feelings about it … My assistant Casey Kurlander helped me see that it certainly got my attention, since I was screaming all over the office about it!
What do you think? Good, Bad … Funny as hell !!!
Leave a comment below, I would love to see the stats on this email drop !

text: Emi Takei is good! She acts so well as the two sisters. It explains so much, how there are two of them. There couldn't be doppelgangers. W no Higeki does really pique my interest and the secrets that surround the two. And that detective guy is so falling for the criminal girl, Satsuki. Emi does a good job of convincing me of the bitter, survivalist Satsuki and the innocent, rich want to be free bird, Mako.
