Appanna's points should be as follows: Wicket +20, Rutout +10, RRPO -15 Total +15
Appanna's points should be as follows: Wicket +20, Rutout +10, RRPO -15 Total +15
This was corrected earlier today.
Email - firstname.lastname@example.com
Moderators - firstname.lastname@example.com (will go to all moderators)
Skype - firstname.lastname@example.com
Google Talk/Facebook - email@example.com
This is the second time a mistake like this has happened. I have been calculating points for each player since the first mistake, as I am skeptical about the way points are being updated.
I request the moderators to double check before updating points.
Also, it would be nice if you give consolidated points for each player instead of how you are currently displaying. For example,
Bhuvnesh Kumar:
Wickets : 40 points
RRPO : 20 points
Runs : 10 points
Not Out : 5 points
Total : 75 points.
May not be exactly the way I said but atleast in a tabulated format which is easily readable. The way you are displaying currently, we need to add up points for each player.
Hope my suggestions sound meaningful to you.
2 mistakes in 44 games is clearly unacceptable for a free competition. I mean that's 0.21% of players to date.

XBLA and PSN titles are tied to your account. maybe physical media will work the same, if so you just need to sign into your account and insert the disc on another console. not being able to buy used games doesn't mean you can't collect. I'm sure some of you had no interest in the next console to begin with...
think about all the people who only buy used games. how many of them will convert to piracy and hurt PC Gaming haha
I got to disagree, they would get paid for it. Xbox has been the most popular console (that isn't targeting casual gamers), and if that continues into the next generation, that could make for some good money, and also make an interesting situation with MS depending on Sony. If Sony declines and forces MS to come up with it's own media type, then the Xbox leads in sales again, all thats going to do is hurt Sony, and Bluray. Right now Bluray just doesn't have competition, and if they force M$ to give it some, that could be bad for them.
Thats true- UT3 was the biggest example of Cliffy B being a Fuggin Sellout- You look at all the commands on PC and they are all console related.
all publishers care about is having physical media on the shelf. all developers care about is the extra space. if i'm Sony i'm charging Microsoft so much for that license they will be in a hole out of the gate. if i'm Microsoft i'm creating my own proprietary format because Blu-ray sales have tanked and the license isn't worth it.
MIckeysoft DRM Xbox If Mickeysoft think that XBOX DRM a way of making customers loyal say DOn't buy this utter crap...... What happens when you have completed a game and your stuck with it without being able to trade it in for another game MMMmm me thinks not.... Hahahahaha no way will i be buying a system that worthless
Microsoft will just buy the drives from LG, Pioneer, or Samsung (they have licenses to produce Bluray hardware). Microsoft was on the board that developed AACS (the Bluray DRM). If Sony sues Microsoft over it, Sony will start another format war which will cost them a fortune. They know that and won't fight it because of that.
What is up with all these doosh bag companies trying to rule the consumers after buying their product. I just dont understand the world any more :shadedshu "If you buy our refrigerator your only aloud to put NEW food in it.If we catch you putting left overs in it ,your in serious trouble" Makes me want to just sell everything and start going to the arcade again. YAY 1987!!!!!!!!!!
I can't believe Microsoft would even try this. Licensing Bluray from Sony, yes, they would have to if they want to move into the Xbox media center all entertainment area, but binding games to consoles/accounts? Man they'd have to be cheap for me to buy. Essentially it's the same thing that Steam does, but Steam does it better so if this is true, I'll just spend the money I'd buy an Xbox with and build an HTPC. No biggie. Voting with the wallet is awesome.
Don't worry, in the future they'll only allow you to complete the game once, after that you'll have to pay a "small fee" to play it again LOL
Not that I'm aware of. It's kind of like HDMI--they charge by the output port, not by the cable. This is why graphics cards only had one HDMI port. EyeInfinity and the like skipped HDMI and went straight for DisplayPort which is far less expensive. How do you know Steam does it better? I imagine it will be seamless and you won't know it is even there until you try to circumvent it. It won't stop 90%+ of people from buying the console. I expect Sony to include something similar in their next gen console. This is simply the way the game market is going. As I said previously, PC games were doing this years ago (first with serial numbers, then with online activation, now with online all the time). This is nothing new. It is just getting implemented on consoles. If not this round of consoles, it will definitely be on the next.
No used games plus 6670 graphics... Yeah...sorry M$, you shot yourself in the foot twice already with the 720. I'm passing.
How does Steam do it better. For one, it's a service that I use, and I agreed to the limitation of resale of games. I.E. it doesn't exist. There is no physical media for me to worry about. Likely Microsoft's implementation will still require you to have the media in the drive to play the game. I'm part of the 10% of folks who really don't give too big of a crap about console gaming. Sure, I do play games on the Xbox, but I really don't need to buy one to enjoy gaming. I'll build an HTPC and play games on my TV with a 360 controller. It works pretty damn good.
of course you can rent and second hand games... they call it 'piracy' this will just kill the rental/second hand industry (leading to less sales in total) and encourage piracy far more. stupid move.
You agree to that the instant you start Steam. The same goes for consoles when you turn them on. By using either product or service, you're entering their legal domain. Maybe, maybe not. They might expand the service to be like Origin or Steamworks titles where you can buy on disk or download it--the keys work for both. Microsoft's DRM, Steam's DRM, Sony's DRM, etc.? It doesn't match which you pick, they all got it. It's the reality DMCA has imposed on us all. Pretty much.
How can they implement this into a gaming console? Are the disc embedded with a key or something? Microsoft will lose a lot of money on their new system. No one in their right mind would purchase the new fail box. Would this also effect used movies? I don't believe Microsoft will go through with it, they're not that dumb.
I doubt this is true, but what would you do if you have 2 people that share a console. say I get MW4(I will never do this in real life) I play online and then a friend comes along wants to play it and I don't want them to mess up my K/D normal he/she could just use their Xbox account, but know they can't.
No...M$ is very much that dumb. These are the same people who convince gamers to pay a subscription to play 360 games online...if they can get away with it, they will. But they are not dumb enough to turn a def ear to a large outcry. Really, if enough fuss is raised, we'll see them backtrack on this plan. I just wish it would have happened with the Vita's PSP emulation plan. Really, PSP owners should have boycotted that crap. Paying more money for digital versions of what they already own, just so BS.
Wow I remember just reading about the workers at the Microsoft Xbox factory going up on the roof about to commit suicide because of the poor wages and insane hours that their greedy corporation enslaves them to. Now this greedy (slave labor) corporation wants to make more profits by forcing people to buy new every time they want a game Gaming and it's BS expensive download content and restrictions is only going to get worse, what ever happened to the good old PS2 days were the games actually came with everything you wanted. Hmmm maybe it's time I give up gaming and pick up a healthy hobby like sports or something PS: I DARE Microsoft to pull this "No used games" off on us, lets see those sales slump!
Gamefly For Xbox 3 I was not planning on buying any games, just doing the gamefly deal. Doesn't look good for that plan.

Goal Accomplished!!!! - Stacia Naquin
Updated: 12/12/2013 - I finally did my pull up!!! It was a New Year's Resolution that took me ALL YEAR! But I did it.
Police are looking for the driver who crashed a stolen truck into a fence and then ran off.
At about 8:40 Thursday evening, a Colorado state trooper tried to stop a red Ford F-150 pickup for speeding near I-25 and Lake Avenue in Colorado Springs.
When the truck wouldn't stop, there was a short pursuit, ending when the the truck crashed into a fence on South Prospect. It turns out the pickup had been reported stolen in Colorado Springs.
The driver got away on foot, but a passenger was taken into custody. She's identified as 34-year-old Vanessa Trujullo-Padilla of Colorado Springs. There was also a dog in the truck, and Animal Control officers took it away.
As of 6 a.m. Friday, the driver had not been caught.
The description of the driver is vague: he's a white man, medium build, with brown hair. He was wearing a dark hoodie and had a backpack.
If you have any information that would help investigators, please call Crime Stoppers at 634-STOP.

kojevergasTexas 3.43/5 rDev -18.1% look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.25 | overall: 3.25 2010 vintage 1 pint .9 fl oz brown glass bottle with papered-over branded black pressure cap and classy understated label art acquired at me local bottle shop (they just had 2010 vintage lying about in 2013) and served into a Glenmorangie whisky taster in me gaff in low altitude Austin, Texas. Bottle No 122366. 8.5% ABV confirmed. Brewed with Golding and Fuggle hops. Dry-hopped with Golding and Target hops. "Best before end 2013." Perfect! I believe Fuller's maintains that this peaks at 3 years as well. Served chilled, but not cold, and allowed to warm over the course of consumption. Side-poured carefully per the label's instructions. Good carbonation hiss as it's opened. A: No bubble show forms as it's poured. Pours a half finger wide head of white/light khaki colour. Decent creaminess and thickness. Nice complexion. Head retention isn't bad considering the beer's age and high ABV - about 2 minutes. Some inconsistent spotty lacing clings to the sides of the glass when the glass is tilted, but little forms naturally as the head recedes. Body colour is a clear translucent orange-copper of superb vibrance. No yeast particles/sediment are visible. It's a nice appearance for an old ale and I'm looking forward to trying it. Nothing about the appearance reveals its age or suggests it's gone downhill. Not unique or special, but certainly attractive. Sm: Has a light toasted malt character accompanied by some toffee as well as bursts of fruity esters: orange, pineapple, mango, and other tropical fruits which are too vague to identify. I'm surprised at the notable hop presence - both because of the style and because of the beer's age. Ripe orchard peach surfaces as it warms a bit. Honey. Very attractive sweet nectary notes. It's got a good malty sweetness and plenty of juicy fruits. I also pick up some white raisin and mellow berries. It's quite clean; no yeast character is detectable. Alcohol is well concealed. Overall, I'm really looking forward to trying this. The fruit notes are a definite highlight. It's also just a bit acidic, which accentuates the fruit. An inviting aroma of average strength. T: It's got a marshmallow, toffee, light caramel, and vaguely toasty core with gorgeous balance. The fruity juiciness really comes in just before the climax, adding nuanced notes of peach, sticky pineapple, mango, and even a hint of passionfruit. White raisin. The hops have matured nicely with age, complementing the malts with unobtrusive fruity and faintly floral notes. The marshmallow is lovely, and was unexpected. I pick up some depleted orange jam notes and green apple as it warms. Some sherry too. Also a bit of butterscotch. There's plenty of rich English malt character here which is lovely. Refined and tasty, but perhaps not as approachable as other old ales. I like that it really commits to its distinguished English character, but that comes at the expense of accessibility and perhaps even balance. I can see where oxidation will actually complement this flavour profile rather than damage it. It's an extremely cohesive build for an old ale, but not quite a gestalt one. Balanced and refined. There's plenty of complexity here, and even some intriguing nuance. But it could be far more intricate and subtle. Age has done it well and I'd be curious to try this fresh. Above average depth of flavour. Average intensity and duration of flavour. The marshmallow is the standout note for me. Hides its ABV well. Mf: Decadently smooth and wet. Very rich. It's a rather refined texture which keeps it simple and stays out of the way of the flavour profile. In so doing, it complements the taste well and succeeds at facilitating full delivery of the complex flavours. A bit acidic, which is a nice characteristic in an old ale. Medium-bodied. Aptly thick. A biteen buttery. Has some alcohol-induced warmth, which is light enough that it just seems to complement the beer, and makes it a comforting winter sipper. Not too sticky or chewy. Not oily, astringent, harsh, boozy, gushed, rough, or hot. Dr: It's a refined sipper for the distinguished drinker. It sips real well out of a whisky tumbler. I haven't tried it fresh, but I'd like to, and the marshmallow note alone reveals this beer develops very well with age. I'd really like to try a 1-5 year vertical of this stuff. For now, my recommendation is in concordance with Fuller's - it peaks at 3 years. While it's not for the newcomer, this old ale is a fine example of a good English approach to the style and while I won't be putting any down to cellar meself, it's a beer I'd definitely recommend my friends try at least once. Certainly a classic, but not a world-class offering. I think with time and palate development, I'll come to appreciate this more and more, but constructively it's a bit overhopped and lacks the intricacy of superior beers in the style. I hope to update this review when I've tried other vintages. B- Serving type: bottle 11-27-2013 04:55:02 | More by kojevergas DenisKolkinOntario (Canada) 4.2/5 rDev +0.2% look: 4.25 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.25 Picked up a 500ml bottle of 2013 Vintage Ale from the LCBO the other day for $7.25 CDN. Comes in a nice fancy box. Served cool into a pint glass. Appearance - Ruby red color with hues of brown, frothy ivory head with 2 fingers worth of head. Great head retention time and some good lacing. Smell - Mild malt presence immediately hits your nose, then transitions into some more floral. Also mixed in there is a sweet dessert type smell (butterscotch, vague chocolate and caramel aromas). Taste - Quite complex, with a blend of floral hops, desserts from the dessert tray, fruitcake and some chocolate. Even some earthy undertones and a little bit of coffee in the back end and aftertaste. Despite the heavy malt base, the hops come through on every sip in an understated way. Quite tasty. Mouthfeel - Smooth, decadent, medium carbonation with a creamy feel. Yet do to the effects on the palate this also comes across as refreshing. Rather light on its feet for a full flavored high ABV beer. Overall - Excellent beer full of complexity, wish I had some space so that I could age a couple of these for a couple of years to see how they taste then. Highly recommended to try at least once even given the hefty price tag.

A- Enjoyed out of a wine glass. Pours a copper tone fill with a creamy white head that dissipates into nothing. S- Some fruit notes mixed in with rich brandy. T- Very complex. First got a huge hint of cognac followed up with that sweet nectar commonly found in bitters. The aftertaste leaves the slightest of alcohol burns which I found incredibly surprising yet overwhelming satisfying. M- On par with what you'd find in ESB. A very creamy mouthfeel from the bottle conditioning reminds me much of a cask ale. Very low carbonation. O-Tremendous for the category although a bit pricey value wise. Understandably the import adds a few $ to the bottle I'm sure but it's a great representation of the traditional British ale.

Pours a hazy dark copper with a frothy one finger white head. Very good head retention and lacing. The aroma is full of caramel and sweet toffee with loads of figs and plums. Some orange sneaks through along with sherry. Really good depth and there is a lot going on. A huge hit of caramel up front in the taste along with some chocolate. There is a subtle smokiness in the background too. A heavy sherry note along witih plums and figs. Bready malt in there but the dark fruit really dominates. I can also detect some orange. Towards the finish, there is a quick metallic shot followed by a whiff of alcohol. Mouthfeel is fairly thick with a decent sweetness lingering after the finish. Overall, a very deep and complex beer. There is really a lot going on here in the aroma and flavor and it is a wonderful drinking experience. I really with I could try some of the other vintages.

Dark fruit complexity (raisin, plum, but also red berries and a more than decent amount of cherry); Coffee, sweet chocolate, to toffee notes; Caramel malts, hints of vanilla, cocoa, also some licorice sweetness; Thwe alcohol is smooth and prickles nicely, bringing also some brandy/bourbon whisky notes; In the finish itțs backed up by a beautiful hoppy bitterness and a mild roast; the sweetness goes down like honey in the finish, the creaminess helps too; cellary, barrelly notes from the aging, with oaky woody notes; This was beautiful: malty and fruity, deliciously sweet, with a nice smooth alcohol, a perfectly melded English ale; Aged beautifully, making it noble and elegant.

In doing so, and potentially helping, I've been privileged to enjoy a Fuller's 2011 Vintage Ale. This is a beautiful beer I've enjoyed a handful of times since learning about it three or so years ago, and this bottle was as good as ever. Let's start with appearance - generally a beer's appearance is limited to its color, head and potentially the bottle. In all these aspects this beer excels, but credit to Fuller's for taking it a step further with a gorgeous dark red box that lets you know you're set to enjoy something special. The beer smells of a slight musk with tones of raisins coming through immediately. Of all the beer's aspects I will admit the smell is the least appealing though that's not to say its poor. Rather it doesn't do much aside from confirm the age of the beer and the quality of its hops/malt. Of the two primary beer ingredients malt comes through more notably with hops being secondary. Taste - exquisite. Simple as that. Like many of Fuller's beers there is a great balance of hops and malts so that each set is fairly represented. This is certainly a beer for those that favor malts but its not over the top. Dried fruits are another prominent flavor with raisins coming through particularly strong. Overall - a beautiful beer that I look to grab any time I see in the store. Its perfect for the cellar, and while its served in a pint sharing this beaut will be sure to please any guest.

A- pours a deep caramel with a short-lived white head, that lives on around the circumference of the imperial pint glass. S- deep malt. Dark fruit dominates (currants, raisins). Sweet with subtle alcohol esters. T- rich and deep. Dark toffee (or maybe treacle), fruit and alcohol. Reminded me of a Christmas rum cake, minus the spice. M- smooth, almost creamy. O- A great English ale. The aging has really made it fantastic.

Very old fashioned and austere. What's inside is even better. Pours a light toasty orange that makes one think mellow but complex, aged yet dynamic. A whiff of the light caramel colored head evokes fine scotch whisky and butterscotch, coffee cake and sweet orange. Palate shows a mind-blowing complexity that includes the aforementioned aroma components along with citrus marmalade, brown sugar, nutmeg/mace, vanilla toffee, dates, tobacco, and bitter Brazil nuts. A sipper that won't get dull as each sip reveals something new, with each component falling into the dark and sweet categories. Hops prevent things from being too decadent and add spicy earthy notes. Body is not heavy (think a bitter or brown ale) and finish is winey and aromatic. The sort of beer that might cause a paradigm shift in any novices who happen to be around when you partake and worth every penny. Will change with age. The present exemplar was almost three years old.

Fine lacing in the glass. Wonderfully complex nose: nutmeg, mace, brown bread, highland scotch without the peat, oloroso sherry, banana, toffee, orange marmalade and smoke. Nose keeps evolving as you are enjoying the beer. On the palate, many of the same flavors return. That taste of peat-less scotch and oloroso sherry combined together linger. Medium+ bodied and almost a little oily in the mouthfeel. Nice long aftertaste in this beer. Really nicely done.

AND you do get a nice warmth from the abv.. almost a corn flakes like aftertaste. the beer itself is slightly thin for the abv%, but right on the money for an old ale. medium body, thin on the tongue, but the alcohol warmth makes it feel like it's almost full bodied.. until you go for another sip. this is a nice beer all around. it was a present from my wife, who knows absolutely nothing about beer - she just thought it looked fancy in the box. i'm glad she picked this up for me for christmas.. i feel like the few months in the cellar have done this one well. not sure about its cost, but this seems like an affordable beer, and very spot on for the style. i'll go ahead and recommend it.

Lots of sweet caramel, dark fruit, vanilla and booze. Smells very nice. T- Similar to the aroma, with more dark fruit, berries, caramel and vanilla. There's some herbal hop flavors towards the finish, but as the beer warms these become less prominent amid the malty sweetness. Some nice boozy sweetness and warmth at the finish. M- Medium-bodied, smooth with a good amount of warmth.

The mouth feel was moderately carbonated. The taste was excellent, unlike most British beers I have tasted: peachy, raisins. The beer had a whiskey-like finish. Bitter, a bit alcoholic, but not over the top. This is a complex beer which tastes more like a beer of 10+ABV. I will buy another bottle to cellar.

A: Deep ruby that poured clear before I swirled the yeasty goodness that lent a tinge of cloud to the glass. Large bubble, off-white head quickly dissipated, leaving virtually no lacing nor residual carbonation. S: Toffee, caramel, raisins, and toasted biscuits, with a faint hint of hay and a touch of yeast. T: Follows the nose closely, with a dose of toffee up front giving way to more bready goodness in mid palate and a balancing bit of bitterness in the finish. However, the malt's the star here. As the ale opens up, the raisins give way to darker fruit and an almost oaky/bourbony quality. M: Mouth-coating and syrupy, especially due to the light British carbonation levels. This would be a perfect crisp fall day beer. O: This is a truly superb brew that captures the best of the British Isles. Akin to a German Doppelbock, this has a biscuity quality I have come to love in real British ales, along with the subtle understatement of Goldings. I am going to get more of these, laying them down for 3-4 years as recommended.

The aroma is reminiscent of sherry with sweet malt and brown sugar, while light toasted malt provides a backdrop. Notes of cola, sun tea and nuts are also evident. Exceptionally well-balanced with a slight, bitter finish that is long and subtle. Generally, the flavors follow the nose quite well with the addition of fresh white bread. While this Old Ale warms nicely, it is better at the cooler range. A full body with a soft, smooth texture, light carbonation, and well-concealed alcohol. Simultaneously dry with light residual sugar on the lips. One can easily imagine an Edwardian gentleman sipping this beer while reading to soft classical music in low light in a leather chair.

There is some caramel and honey up front but then a big toasty and nutty wave shows up in the middle. Actually becomes the prominent flavor in the beer overall. Almost reminds me of a brown ale except this is much sweeter with lots of caramel and honey. Finish is a drier dark fruit flavor with some herbal hops with a touch of honey. Surprisingly decent hop bitterness. Lingering toast and herbs in the aftertaste. M: Medium bodied. Kinda sticky sweet at first but ends on a drying note. O: Interesting old ale. Lots of toastiness and nuttiness. Prominent typical english hops. Sweet and fairly complex. Feels more like an english strong ale than an olde ale to me.

In order for them to propose a free figure ONLY NOW, after 4 years of constant blunders and QC issues, I guess things must look pretty grim !
Not that I'm surprised : the 2013 subs BARELY made it, and the recent issues are not what's gonna help for 2014. I'm not even sure that the pseudo promise to release a maximum of "fan-demanded figures" will weigh enough in the balance to save the subs sales, thus the line, in 2014.
Well I think this is awesome. Even if it is old stock, still cool. If it's Hurricane Hordak...cool I don't have him. Well, pretty much if it is anyone, I'm real cool with it. It says a basic figure, so it won't be a 30TH Anny one, it won't be a subscriber only one, it won't be Fisto or a con exclusive........Maybe I will finally get my Tri-Klops. Or Whiplash. Heck I am missing a few, so either way either getting one I need or trading as friend Orbles mentioned, it's a win-win situation. I mean, even if you don't like it, ebay it or something. Great news I think.
I love the mystery of it all. We won't know what we're getting until it arrives. PERFECT for Christmas

I think it is really cool, even if I won't be getting anything as a non subscriber. Sorry Replikor, but I agree with what others are saying. I think it is a bit different for those who were subscribers as opposed to those of us who decided to get her anyway. Sure it sucks that there was a mistake at all, especially because it was "buy a messed up Frosta" or don't ever." But them's the breaks.
It is spelled "Crita", not "Critta". Misspell her name and Crita will knock the "T" out of you!
Also...get her into the line!

I think that a repainted Snake-man guard in a baggie would be awesome. Maybe a blue one that was chilled by Frosta herself. It's cool that we are getting a figure, but weird that we would get an extra figure of one that we already own (seeing that we are subscribers). Extra army builder figures would have been awesome.
By the way, I would take a brown haired She-ra in a heartbeat.
The are two reasons that there is any frustration about this announcement right now:
1) people are just assuming that the "basic figure" is going to be old stock. While that may be true, we don't know for sure.
2) Mattel should have been QUIET about details prior to this announcement. There were too many hints that this item might have been a "repaired item" or accessory.
A Want List of Sorts: Veena, Double Trouble, Lodar, Lizard Man, Blast Attack, Tung Lasher, Perfuma, Sweet Bee, Imp, Red Eye, Filmation Kowl, Arrow, Gwildor, Madame Razz & Broom, Angella, Eldor, Entrapta, Huntara, Mantisaur, Stridor, Night Stalker, Dree-Elle, Uncle Montork, Vultak, ... and all the other POP & NA characters.
Ya see, that gets my hopes up for a fixed roboto. I hand handle king hiss, I corrected both figures. But I just want the roboto we all thought we were getting. One with correct shoulders that I didn't have to cut through and prey the superglue doesn't give out over time.
I'm not a sub-holder, but ordered Frosta anyway (mine came with correct forearms) , but even if I was a sub-holder and the opposite had happened to me I would be thrilled with a free sealed figure. Even if it's a double of something you have you can trade it, sell it to a new collector, customize it, or gift it to someone who doesn't know about MOTUC. I think this is an awesome classy move by Mattel. Don't get all the negative reaction over something free.
The free figure is perfectly fine, but some disappointment is stemming from some of Scott's early comments about what the free gift would be:

For anyone following along, the implication was that it would be something unique and different. The timeframe would be similar to the GITD Slimer and design/engineering were working on costing something out. And, as is prone to happen, plans change and Mattel came up with this idea instead. Some folks are thinking it might be a new figure, but I tend to doubt it. The idea of "You won't know which one" really implies they're clearing out stock and sending each of us a duplicate, random figure.
We can take solace in that an entire free figure could be considered a better "Thank you" than whatever was being planned before, but we can also lament the loss of whatever that unique item might have been.

Wow great news for you subbers!
I unfortunately, yet understandably, do not get one.
Even if you don't want it, sell it on the org. It's free so put it up for $15 plus shipping, it'll be gone in no time. Matty wins, subber wins, & who ever bought your unwanted figure wins.
BF/CM had a lot of figures left over. Only sellouts were Draego, TODS, Zodak, CGM, Marlena & Trappy. I'm excited for you guys!

Same here. Especially since Mattel was really great about replacing my cracked Roboto but the new one ended up growing some cracks of his own. I like the figure and I'd like to enjoy it more and he's not cheap if I want to take my chances on another. Shoulders & possible cracks have been fixed with Horde Prime and Cy-Chop, so development costs could be low.
In the event that we see some sort of fixed figure, as a Frosta apology or in some other form, I think Goddess might be the one we'd see since fans have been asking about her the longest. I hope for Roboto.
Awesome! I really hope for a figure I don't have! the Faceless One, Count Marzo, Vikor, or Carnivous would be very welcomed. Any other would be fine, I could hopefully trade it or sell it...maybe even use the buck for customs.
Photog is here! thank you, Mattel!
Now how about some mini-comics love (like Lodar, Geldor, Dakon......)? And Mermista?

Music Box Theatre
3733 N. Southport Avenue,
63 people favorited this theater
When it was opened in 1929, the Music Box Theatre was considered tiny compared to its much larger, more palatial neighbors. Many of these larger theaters, like the Uptown Theatre, were often too large to stay in business throughout the rest of the 20th century.
The Music Box Theatre later played mainly second and third-run movies as well as closing and reopening several times. By the 1970's, the theater was showing Spanish and Arabic-language movies, as well as porn. The theater had become more than a bit rough around the edges when it was closed in 1977.
Renovated in 1982, the Music Box Theatre reopened in 1983 and has been showing an eclectic mix of classic, foreign, and art house films ever since. In 1991, the Music Box Theatre added a small 100 person auditorium. The theater is located in the bustling Southport area of Chicago's Lakeview neighborhood.

I just went to the Music Box Theatre Yesterday, and they are now showing forign films there.
Foreign films on some days, art films on others. They are soon to start a Film Noir series in August I believe.
It's always an eclectic line up of films at the Music Box.
Just saw Cropsey at the Music Box! I felt a strange presence in the front right hand corner of the theatre and there was a strange seat light flickering in a way that seemed inexplicable throughout most of the film. There were also some weird sounds over there, even though that area remained vacant. I thought about asking a staff person if a ghost lived in the theater, but didn't. Now that I have come online and see that a ghost does in fact hang out at the theatre I am intruiged. I have been to old theatres before, by myself and not noticed anything like this. Has anyone noticed/felt the ghost?? If so, where and what did you feel, see or hear?
My father is the reputed "ghost" known as "Whitey" who reportedly "haunts" the Music Box. The Music Box Theatre's website tells about him. A few years ago, I visited the Music Box with my teenage daughter to check things out. The employees we spoke to were all familiar with "Whitey", and had many questions about him for me. The manager invited us to explore the theatre. We walked all around inside, but "Whitey" never made his appearance known to us. He and my mother, who worked as cashier at the Music Box until my fathers death in 1977, are buried in Graceland Cemetery.
Interesting! Thanks for the info. Maybe it was someone/something else….I mean so many people (living and now dead) have come through that space…
excellent i will visit the theater,,it sounds very interesting,,and nostalgic
Saw Vertigo here in 2005; auditorium is lovely. And took a peek at the mini-cinema, which is wildy decorated like an outdoor garden (I think). It was great to a see a 100 seat "atmospheric."
The second screening room will be closed for nearly a month for renovations. Add: a much larger screen and digital capability. Subtract: 28 seats, reducing the seating capacity to 70. Story at DNAinfo.
MB bulletin: crystal ball foresees screen #3
humor aside there's news the theatre is expanding by purchasing the north adjacent property, ostensibly for the purpose of building a third auditorium in the existing building there. the sale just closed i think

Navarre resident Pat Quinn is no stranger to Africa.
The founder of the Gulf Breeze Zoo has traveled to the vast continent about 70 separate times and has led a majority of those trips as the tour guide. He said his ultimate joy is introducing Americans to the eye-opening experience of the diverse animals and landscape.
"My greatest pleasure is taking people to Africa and see their reaction," Quinn said. "It's such a different world."
Africa is the "cradle of mankind," Quinn said, and simply cannot be reproduced anywhere. It's a land of great beauty and extremes.
It is 12 million square miles and consists of 54 independent countries and more than 2,000 languages, he said. Kenya alone has about 30 languages. Quinn said it is home to the tallest people and the smallest people, the biggest, fastest and tallest land mammals and the world's largest bird.
"People don't really understand the beauty and majesty of wildlife on this Earth," Quinn said. "To have a bull elephant take bread off your table or have a lion sleeping beside your tent is a thrill. It's a real adventure."
The first stop on the adventure is the Lewa Safari Camp, a 65,000-acre nature reserve with a mission to restore endangered animal populations. They also educate the community about the animals and hire locals who need jobs. Travelers will have three days to explore the reserve and see elephants, giraffe, zebra, both white and black rhino, cheetah, lion, leopard, hyena, jackal, ostrich and 13 species of antelopes.
Navarre residents Nell and Jim Potter have traveled on Quinn's safari 14 times. Nell originally didn't think she would go because she's not a camping-type person. But Quinn's trips are far from roughing it, she said. There are beautiful canvas tents, hot showers, amazing food and about a one-to-one employee to guest ratio.
Nell Potter said it's impossible to imagine some of the sights they experienced on the safaris. Some of her unforgettable moments were to see the migration of more than one million wildebeest, and skies so clear she could see stars touch the horizon.
"It's hard to describe it," she said. "The best National Geographic picture doesn't touch it. It's almost an emotional experience to see so much wildlife and see elephants come right up to the vehicle."
The total cost of the trip is $10,475 per person based on double occupancy. If traveling single, the cost increases by $1,815. The cost doesn't include airfare because Quinn said many individuals choose to use frequent-flyer miles or other promotional airfare awards.

What's behind the need to close Gitmo???
I've always been curious about the motivation behind the left's desperate desire to remove prisoners from Guantanamo Bay Cuba. The explanation that we shouldn't have prisons outside of the US is belied by Obama's continuation of the Rendition Program as well as the prison that we're running in Afghanistan. Well, I guess that it's pretty obvious now why. It looks like Obama is setting up to continue | Read More »

MIDDLEBOURNE, Ohio (AP) -- The last S-curve bridge in service in Ohio is being closed to traffic because of concerns that heavy trucks used in the modern drilling boom are too much for a structure once traversed by wagons, Model T's and even Abraham Lincoln.
The Columbus Dispatch (http://bit.ly/18VHAFi ) reports Guernsey County commissioners on Friday closed the bridge over Salt Fork Creek near Middlebourne, about 95 miles east of Columbus. It's an effort to preserve the span, which is part of the trail known as the National Road that connected Maryland and Mississippi River.
The president of the Ohio National Road Association, Doug Smith, says the bridge probably was built around 1828. It's a National Historic Landmark and a National Engineering Landmark.
Advocates hope to turn the area into a park.

text: Home Politics Reviving Obama The president needs to start communicating again, break out of his Ivy League comfort zone and get tough with opponents. By: Paul Delaney Posted: Nov. 11 2010 10:53 AM 0 Alex Wong/Getty Images As he ponders the "shellacking" the Democratic Party took in last Tuesday's elections, President Obama should begin the second half of his term by overcoming his aversion to dealing with the bad things of the past. Remember, he rejected calls for investigations into possible wrongdoing by Bush administration officials, insisting that, instead, he preferred to look forward. That was the first disappointment to many of his supporters, and a bad sign of things to come. After promising that he would close the prison camp at Guantánamo Naval Base, he dragged his feet. He fiddled around on getting rid of "Don't ask, don't tell" -- again, contrary to what his supporters felt were concrete promises. He did not get rid of earmarks or curtail lobbyists, as promised. When he proposed sweeping health care reform, he let it be known that he was not as excited about a controversial public-option portion as was much of his public. Those were bitter developments for his more liberal constituents. But there was more. He left it almost entirely up to Congress to work out the details of his health care reform. Congress? Even amateur politicians in Washington know better than that. Then the president seemed to distance himself from the day-to-day trench work that's usually mandatory for legislation of that magnitude. Obama further insisted on waiting for some GOP assistance to ensure bipartisanship. He waited and waited and waited. Fuzzy vision and strange moves on important issues, as well as nonspecifics on policy, leave the electorate confused and frustrated, and unnecessarily mad. Worse, opponents are emboldened. Republicans, ragged from the 2008 stomping by Obama and the Democrats, regarded a president whom they deemed ready to deal, or cave, even before negotiations began as a resuscitator. They saw such actions as weakness, and a beacon of hope for a rigid policy of just saying no. The president became hapless Charlie Brown in Charles Schulz's annual holiday homage to hocus-pocus, with Lucy (the GOP) snatching away the football every single time little Charlie went to kick it. Obama began to look silly begging Republicans -- any Republican -- for support. And now he is accused of not seeking GOP cooperation over the past two years. With their early success in resisting Obama, Republicans gained self-confidence in a singular objective that they articulated without apology: the destruction of Obama and his presidency. South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint declared that health reform would be Obama's Waterloo, and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky said after last week's midterms that the party's priority for the next two years will be to make Obama a one-term president. How could all this have happened in two years since the country, and the world, went gaga over America's first black president? I do not believe it was his politics or his policies -- although they certainly were factors -- as much as it was race (more so than most white Americans are willing to acknowledge, given our horrific racial history). In some ways, Obama's highly effective and successful campaign for president was partly to blame for his problems. It reminds me of a great preacher's Sunday sermon -- and indeed, Obama was in the pulpit in pursuit of the presidency. His eloquent rhetoric set the voters on fire, and his exhortations to action met eager ears and an anxious electorate ready to do battle, similar to the "amen" and "preach" chorus heard at sermons, the congregants pumped up and ready to go, to personally take on the devil himself. Then came Monday and Tuesday and the rest of the week. And reality. Difficult, especially if the messenger has to backpedal a bit or tweak his policies, leaving many supporters feeling betrayed and unenthusiastic. Or confused. Obama surely confronted a huge mess that he inherited from the Bush years, and his administration was forced to spend most of its time on economic matters. They had to fix Wall Street and the financial industry and felt compelled to save big banks, the housing industry and the auto industry. In saving the economy, they neglected the working classes, the masses of voters. Many Americans believed that the Obama administration either forgot about or did not care about the devastation taking place in neighborhoods, about soaring unemployment and about a housing crisis that threatened the very existence of the middle class, the people whose anger exploded on Election Day.

All right Nicole thank you we're gonna back to these live pictures -- here in new York city of the protesters gathered outside the United Nations.
The sets the Iranian president Mahmoud oxygen a -- set to address the general assembly inside.
The UN we have the former Delaware senator I'd say hello.
-- -- right now how to Wilmington Delaware today I guess opposition to Iran obviously a knock wood -- into the job particular something.
Both sides politically here in the US can agree on senator what do you make of the fact that that he's even speaking today it's it's young -- for the day of atonement the Jewish.
Religion very very important holy day nears -- we did a -- on the world stage.
That is hey he's obviously trying to get attention did this -- reviled by much the people in the world.
-- going good news are gonna say is this is probably his last appearance on the world scene at least as far as New -- concerned.
But did that -- trying to figure out what this guy's doing is just something that that it's hard to figure except he's always looking for around for attention and I -- promises right now.
Many times we mistake infamy for her famous infamous this -- infamous -- think he's not time yet he talked about.
Health we talk about -- our elections he's talked about how Iran is better off than when he took over he claims that gives you say he may be honest his way out we'll see but I want to talk to you'll need a better way out.
Powell yes I want to talk to you a little bit about how this is affecting and foreign affairs in general are affecting -- our presidential.
As a Democrat a President Obama who receiving a lot of criticism for not meeting this week at the general assembly at the UN where world leaders what's your view on that do you think he should have.
Audience that -- -- look we're -- that season right.
When the season -- whatever you do the other side's gonna say it's wrong I met with Bibi Netanyahu a number of times there's.
There's no real problem between our government and the Israeli government.
We have the present -- -- the defense minister.
The point out that we have one of the best the best relationship between Israel United States securities and ever had right we have operation cast the operation to iron dome.
Which allows that the folks in this in the US and Israel to be protected from these rockets so I know I think it's one of those things that say if say -- it's election year meeting with.
No all hardly any put world leaders on the in the week of the UN general assembly don't think that's a fair political criticism from the other -- to say listen.
The president you should at least sit down with a few there's a lot going on our world -- you don't think that's fair.
Yet no I don't think it's fair because he keeps good communications for the rest of the world I think our relations with the rest the world.
Have been better in a long time.
When I trowel around the world is United States Senate Foreign Relations Committee people were very very pleased with what the administration was doing -- respect the president.
And the rest that's that's not that I thought were never a presence there were in the last what forty some days -- a presidential campaign that's that's the high priority okay let's talk of.
About that a little bit before we let together Republicans would have said hey look at the on interment rate under President Obama and -- -- stayed so high and above 8% and this -- Quote unquote our year we should be able to do what we look at the polls the 1 this morning the times and and CBS and it's a big lead for President Obama at least and that poll and some of these -- -- -- states.
But again high unemployment are you surprised.
That the polls have swung as much as they have -- these key swing states to present Obama this year.
Well I'm surprised by -- it happens in politics especially presidential politics but I've been saying for about a year now.
If on Election Day people who -- the voting Booth and say this is a choice between.
That the President Obama and Republican candidate -- the press the the present will probably win if people wanted to post Election Day and say there's a referendum.
Well the last four years than the President Obama probably lose and what's happened over the last -- several months is more more people begin to question.
The credentials of Romney and therefore it turns into a choice I think in that case the president is doing very -- well I must say I never expected to see Apollo.
In this election that said the president's -- better -- -- handle the economy than Republican challenger.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Suggests in some of those states that -- or that he'll actually win -- say but I like tunnels but.
What real quick senator we thought it.
I just -- -- these numbers are pretty widespread they're pretty consistent as the trend and I -- and that again and again happened last forty days but.
IE I would if I were Romney campaign I would be very concerned about those numbers in Ohio right Pennsylvania Florida Michigan where they're they're very scary numbers for -- for around.
Governor Romney set thank you send -- is gonna say he may not win Ohio by ten but the trend is certainly been in his favor senator Kaufman thank you very much for joining us is always -- hey Connell.

We used to take long trips when I was a kid.
Instead of bearing the burden of pulling over to pee and wasting time I had to face the dreaded…
Do you know how difficult it is for a seven-year old to balance, hold a mason jar, aim and pee in a jar at a velocity of 65 mph? The performance pressure alone was enough to explode a bladder.
Afterwards, I had the pleasure of sharing the back seat with my new friend…
A full jar of pee.
It would just sit there, staring at me and splashing about. I knew what it was, it knew what it was, my parents knew what it was but, they just kept driving.
I will tell you this: There would be no denying the full pee jar if we were ever in a 65 mph collision.
Then again, who cares if you're soaked with seven-year old piss when you're dead?

The company planning to build a mega-dairy farm in Wood County is suing the town board.
The board decided to stop all new construction projects in the area after hearing concerns from citizens about the possible environmental impacts of large farms.
According to the Wisconsin Ag Connection, in response Wysocki Farms has filed a lawsuit against the Town of Saratoga and its supervisors.
Wysocki Farms proposes building a 5,300-cow Golden Sands Dairy. The company says the Town's moratorium violates state and federal laws and that the project complies with all zoning requirements.
The Department of Natural Resources plans to complete an environmental impact statement on the proposed dairy which calls for 49 high capacity wells.
On August 23, a public informational meeting will be held at the Saratoga Town Hall. The first session is from 3-5 p.m., the second from 6-8 p.m.

There are going to be a lot of warm wieners out there–after just one week of sales, the Wurstwärmer pattern has raised $140.40 for the Michigan Animal Rescue League! I made a donation to MARL yesterday, and will keep making donations at the end of every month, as long as folks keep buying the pattern.
Thanks everyone for your generosity!
And, as an extra thank-you, please enjoy this new free scarf pattern!
This scarf offers all the élan of a feather boa, but none of the social or professional consequences of wearing one to work. Leda is as light as a feather, with the lofty warmth of alpaca. (For a Spring or Fall scarf, just substitute a less toasty fingering-weight yarn.)
Suitable for a first lace project, the stitch pattern should also hold the attention of more experienced laceknitters. The pattern includes written instructions and two charts. The lace pattern only appears in chart form–there are no written lace instructions included.
− 1 skein (450 yards) Classic Elite Alpaca Sox or other fingering-weight yarn
– US 4 (3.5mm) circular needle, or size needed to get gauge
– 2 stitch markers
– tapestry needle
*with many thanks to Mary-Heather for coming up with the perfect name.

This is also a satisfying dish to eat — there's no meat, and it's even vegan, if you leave off the final sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. But I would happily serve this to a crowd of dedicated meat-eaters; it's one of these dishes that really spans a group of various preferences.
A few technical notes on this dish: It's best to use your biggest stove burner, and your biggest sauté pan. I used a great big 6-quart sauté pan, although a 4-quart should work OK as well. If you don't have a straight-sided sauté pan just use your widest, deepest skillet.I have a slideshow here with photos, too, of most of the steps in the process, showing you how I caramelized each ingredient, then pushed them aside to soften and cook down while I went on to the next one.
Orzo Caramelized with Fall Vegetables & Ginger
serves 4 as a main dish and 6 as a side dish
1/2 pound orzo pasta
Grapeseed, peanut, or vegetable oil
1 large sweet potato (about 3/4 pound)
2 medium onions (about 1 pound), finely diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
3-inch piece fresh ginger — peeled and grated, about 1 tablespoon
6 ounces shiitake mushrooms, stems removed and caps diced
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
3 big leaves chard or kale, stalks removed and leaves finely chopped — about 2 cups
Freshly ground black pepper
Parmesan, optional
Heat a large pot of water to boiling and salt it generously. Cook the orzo until barely al dente — about 6 to 7 minutes. Drain and toss with a generous drizzle of oil so that the grains of orzo are lightly coated with oil. Set aside.
Peel the sweet potato and dice it finely into cubes about 1/4 to 1/2 inch to a side. Heat a large sauté or frying pan (the largest you have — you want plenty of room and hot surface) over high heat. Drizzle in a little grapeseed or vegetable oil (not olive oil — you want an oil with a high smoke point) and heat until very hot. Add the sweet potatoes and arrange them in one layer. Cook them over high heat until they are beginning to caramelize and turn brown — about 4 minutes. Flip them over and cook for another 3 minutes or so.
Turn the heat down to medium and push the sweet potatoes up in a pile against one side of the pan. Add the diced onions to the center of the pan and sprinkle them lightly with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are beginning to turn brown. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger and stir them into the onions. Push the onions off to the side of the pan, next to the sweet potatoes, where they will continue to caramelize.
Add the diced shiitake mushrooms to the hot center of the pan and cook them for 4 minutes without turning them. Then flip and stir them and cook for another 4 minutes.
At this point everything should be getting well-cooked; the onions should be quite dark brown and the garlic should be golden and soft. The potatoes should be softening.
Whisk together the vinegar, soy sauce, and 2 tablespoons of oil. Pour this into the pan with the vegetables and mix everything together, scraping the bottom as you go. Cook all the elements together for about 3 minutes on medium heat. Then turn the heat up to high, as high as it will go.
Add the orzo gradually, shaking in a cup at a time, and stirring and scraping constantly. Cook the orzo over high heat with the rest of the vegetables for about 5 minutes, letting the orzo get browned on the bottom of the pan, then scraping it up. You are developing a little more color and flavor on the pasta, and helping all the flavors combine.
Finally, toss the chopped greens into the mix and cook for 1 more minute or until the greens are barely wilted. Turn off the heat and taste. Add salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot, with shavings of Parmesan if desired.
• For vegans: Leave off the cheese.
• For omnivores: If desired, render a little bacon, sausage, or guanciale fat in the beginning, and use this to cook the vegetables. Keep the meat in too.

TV as "Town Hall" in 2012 Elections
According to Nielsen—the company that spends millions of dollars each year to examine the actual television viewing habits of the American public—98 percent of people's video time is spent with traditional television. That means on a TV set with their remote control. Not on their laptop, not on their smartphone, not on their tablet—on a television set. This comes from actual measured viewing behavior, not from a poll.
