(Sega Genesis) Mighty Morphin Power Rangers
Sorry for the delay on this review but as I like to play the games on the original hardware a few issues popped up with the mailing of the game but enough excuses from me. Here is my review for the Genesis/Mega Drive version of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers game.
The version on this console is a 1 on 1 fighting game like the popular Street Fighter II and Mortal Kombat at the time and developed by the hands Banpresto (now part of Namco Bandai). The 1 player Scenario Mode acts as the main story with you taking control of one the main rangers fighting against a bad guy and after the first round victory it is time to fight them in the Megazord.

I thought we should have an area to discuss the work that members show.
I had commented on Mark's work before. He likes the rich deep color and use of contrast of tones. The flower image is very strong. Minds me of oil paint.
Keith's work is on the other side of the spectrum. Like the Humming bird and the Polaroid Transfer. I would say that Keith is more of the pastel side of color use.
You now get to say something, folks.
Moi? Pastel?! I need to chew on that for a while Hadn't thought of myself that way. Especially since most of my colour work is on slide. But I see your point about contrast of tones. The images mark posted certainly make more of a statement about colour combinations.
I shoot colour for Macro, flowers, and subjects with strong opposing colours. I tend to use mono a little more for graphic subjects, but hey if I get my hands on some 120 Ektar that may change. I like abstracts and experimental stuff some of it can't really be used on this site!
I really like Keiths lunar moth and the Pola shot has a soft painterly look..
Mark this is interesting, that you specifically target opposing colours. As I think I mentioned elsewhere, I have become interested in negative colour... unmasked negative colour... and part of the attraction is the way the colours contrast with each other. I will post an example from an experiment that I hope to refine once my garden is blooming again! Interesting to me is that we don;t perceive the "real" colours as opposing each other, but when flipped to neg, well then see for yourself. But yeah I guess even with my nutty negs I am still a pastel kind of guy
But Mark, your experimental, unmentionable stuff can be used within this group, no? I'd be interested. I wish I could do ilfos here locally, but, I'm over it and have happily settled into other means.
I was active for a time at hybridphoto but the place started to annoy me with the constant scanner talk and "what scanner should I buy"... it was fairly clear that all that rot was being dumped from APUG and there was little active image discussion. I got frustrated. Hybrid shouldn't just be a repository for resolution and scanner debates.
So Keith, are they two images samples negative work you are discussing about? Interesting. How did you do that? I maybe doing a color workshop here in Oregon and would like to share it with the students.
I am going to have samples of Polaroid/Fujiroids and hand color images that I thing are 80 to 100 years old.
Neet stuff. Very abstract
Robert, one critique I have of those two negatives I posted is that they aren't quite abstract enough for my liking, but I am workign on it. Those two were done with normal plain-Jane neg film, fuji pro s and pro h as I recall. So they were scanned, the scan software removed the mask, and then instead of flipping them to positives I simply kept them as negs.
I have a much better method now. I have located some maskless colour neg film, the digibase stuff from Agfa. With that, the neg you get form normal c41 process is good to go. It can be scanned or it can be projected or ilfo'd or whatever. So I am eager to play with that more. I am also wondering about x-processing this digibase. Anyway I have some 'flipped' digibase stuff in the normal galleries; as positives these images have some quite interesting colour rendition:
If you'd like to use the examples then at least let me come up with some better scans, these annoy me quite a bit!
Interesting. What is the film again? What size format? This is film meant to be scanned?
I think your neg film idea is great to explore in.
Get me something I could share with the workshop if its ok with you.
Rollei Digibase CN 200
I see other interesting possibilities with this film, since it is maskless c41:
*use negs as slides -> ilfochrome or scan
*x-process E6
*maybe it'd make a decent multilayer panchromatic b&w film??? Just normal b&w process?!
Sadly the format is only 120 and smaller. I asked for sheets, but they aren't coating it onto thicker bases... yet...
Link to better crops of the two negative colour flower images...
Here is a link to a shot done as a colour experiment. It is Neopan 400 exposed through RGB filters, the reason I don't put it in the gallery as it needs digital manipulation to get good registration in the colours. The shadow in 3 different colours is deliberate.
It's pretty sharp in the flower but the stem seems to have moved. Wonder if you contact print these?
I wonder if I could do this with my 8x10 camera?
The movement was deliberate, I also cast different shadows on the background with my hands so to get an imperfect result. People are aware that the photo is different without it being 'in your face' I like little imperfections.
Alas you cant contact them, I think you could project them though RGB filters, but registration and channel building are done in PS
Mark that image is unique and it is wonderful. Keep it up!
Maybe you cold share how you did this? I'm in the planning stages of doing a workshop on various color techniques.
Robert it's done by exposing normal B&W neg film through a Red, Green and then Blue filter. The film is developed as normal.
You then scan the film so you have 3 separate mono RGB 'channels' it is important that they all have exact pixel dimensions.
You then while the 3 are open click 'merge channels' from the dropdown in the channels pallet in PSCS, then pick merge RGB. You'll need to highlight each channel and nudge them into register (400% view works well) and obviously using a tripod during exposure helps.
I like the clouds moving, trees in the wind and waterfalls which all create colour artifacts in local areas.
Here is the blog entry with my modus:
Like your new image in the Color gallery, Mark. Reminds me of a Edward Hopper painting.
That would be a fun assignment to do photography like a favorite painter or style you like.
Or you can say, "Robert, blow it out your hat!" :-)
I know that one of my favorite photographers also painted. His name was Charles Steeler. He worked during the depression era.
What about you all?
Interesting idea, you needn't blow it out your hat. I have for several years wanted to make a van Gogh-style photograph but haven't yet achieved it... and may never be able to, I suppose.
Mine would be Turner, or possibly one that has a colour 'trick' like Josef Albers:
I might add another to the gallery soon a graffiti shot in which I hope the red writing stands out from the background, a trick done by it having a similar luminance value to the surrounding colours but a different chromatic wavelength, and even though the background is not a colour opposite the red should 'snap' just as if it were on a cyan base.
I think the science is that if the luminance is similar the brain processes the colour in a separate part of the brain from the luminance so making it stand out (hope that makes sense)
My problems are the web colours and that sRGB will clip the colours I use, my monitor is not wide gamut either so I can't be sure the target audience is seeing what I see...
Oops! I meant Charles Sheeler not Steeler.
Here is a link to his work. http://images.google.com/images?clie...num=1&ct=title
I see that Wild Bill has a whole lot of image in the main Apug gallery. Why to go, Wild Bill.
I like the spiral snow blade image and the desert image the best.
Keep up the color work!

Excerpts from Kennedy's speeches
The Hill Staff 08/28/09 06:20 PM EDT
The Hill Staff 08/28/09 06:20 PM EDT
By Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) 08/28/09 06:00 PM EDT
With the passing of Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.), this nation lost a great patriot, a force for justice and equality and a passionate voice for a brighter future.
By Sen. Robert C. Byrd (D-W.Va.) 08/28/09 05:58 PM EDT
President John F. Kennedy was fond of quoting the biblical passage that tells us: "For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required" (Luke 12:48). When I think of that passage, I think of the life, career and accomplishments of his brother, my dear friend and colleague, Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.).
Rep. Dale E. Kildee (D-Mich.) 08/28/09 05:44 PM EDT
I have a lot of acquaintances in Congress and many friends, but one who stood out above the rest and to whom I always felt close was Ted Kennedy. It was a privilege to know him as a friend, and it was an honor to work with one of the most dedicated and knowledgeable senators I ever met. His passing is truly a great loss for our country. I am hopeful, however, that in mourning his death, we will be inspired to continue to fight for the causes to which he dedicated himself so tirelessly and work together to pass the comprehensive healthcare reform that he called "the cause of my life."
Secretary Dirk Kempthorne (former secretary of the Interior) 08/28/09 05:43 PM EDT
As a very junior senator from Idaho, I selected an office on the third floor of the Russell Building, which happened to be next door to Sen. Ted Kennedy's office. The first day that we were allowed to officially occupy the space, in came Sen. Kennedy, walking through each of the offices and introducing himself to all of my staff and welcoming each of them to the Russell. Later that day, a beautiful bouquet of flowers showed up for my wife, Patricia, with a note saying, "Welcome to the neighborhood — Ted." With that, Patricia and I began a wonderful and enduring relationship with Ted and Vicki Kennedy.
The Hill Staff 08/28/09 05:42 PM EDT
Adm. Mike Mullen, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff: "Woke up in Boston to news of Sen. Kennedy's passing. My deepest condolences, on behalf of all of us in uniform, go out to his family."
Nancy Reagan 08/28/09 05:42 PM EDT
Sometimes the best friendships are made under unlikely circumstances. Such was the case with the Kennedys and the Reagans.
Tony Romm 08/28/09 05:40 PM EDT
An overview of Kennedy's most important measures
Jim Manley 08/28/09 05:38 PM EDT
Coming from a wealthy, famous family, Sen. Kennedy could have taken shortcuts. But he never did that — he brought a passion and intensity to his work the likes of which I will never forget.
The Hill Staff 08/28/09 05:38 PM EDT
We've lost the irreplaceable center of our family and joyous light in our lives, but the inspiration of his faith, optimism, and perseverance will live on in our hearts forever. He loved this country and devoted his life to serving it. He always believed that our best days were still ahead, but it's hard to imagine any of them without him. - The Kennedy family

As the community has a wide range of interests, I've decided to add two sub-forums to the OpenFree playground area.
The first is a distributed computing sub-forum due to the interest in the topic that has been recently expressed. This sub-forum has already been created.
I also thought it may be a good idea to have a sub-forum for introductions from new members. The welcome emails for new sign ups would mention it and encourage people to post a few words about themselves. If you feel it's a good idea let me know and we can give it a try.

Love potato soup? Then it's your lucky day!
We've got a St. Patrick's Day potato and leek soup to help you celebrate this Thursday. To be a little healthier, this recipe calls for Earth Balance spread and Earth Fare vegetable broth instead of the traditional butter and cream.
• 3 potatoes, diced
• water for boiling (enough to cover potatoes)
• 3 leeks
• 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
• 2 tbsp Earth Balance spread
• 1/2 cup Earth Fare vegetable broth
• salt and pepper to taste
Boil the potatoes in water until soft when poked with a knife, about 15 minutes. Drain well.

Transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
Add salt and pepper to taste, pour into your lucky leprechaun bowl, serve up with a wedge of Dubliner Irish Cheddar, and enjoy!

The Globe-Union Endura: an electric car for the whole family
Since we last spoke with Bob McKee regarding the pre-fuel crisis Sundancer electric cars that he built, Bob has forwarded on to us plenty of paperwork he thought we might find interesting, including the paper regarding the Sundancer that he (along with Boris Borisoff of Tork-Link and Frank Lawn and James Norberg of ESB) presented to the Society of Automotive Engineers for the organization's 1972 congress in Detroit. Bob also happened to turn up the brochure that Globe-Union printed for the 1978 Endura, the car that he likes to refer to as the Sundancer's big brother.
Globe-Union, founded in Milwaukee in 1911, had at one point been the largest automotive replacement battery supplier, thanks to its agreement with Sears to produce the DieHard line of batteries. Ostensibly seeking to position practical electric cars as an alternative to dependence on foreign sources of oil (though probably more interested in expanding the market for its EV batteries), Globe-Union in 1977 or 1978 sought out Bob McKee and asked him to build them an electric car.
While the Sundancer that he built 10 years prior was a capable electric vehicle (Mechanix Illustrated called it a "practical" electric car), it was obviously not something the family was going to pile into for a trip to little Jimmy's baseball game. So Bob and his men at McKee Engineering trotted out the backbone battery bank concept that Bob had already patented, and whipped up a fiberglass-bodied four-seater around it, this time using a 20hp electric motor juiced by 120 volts of electricity (the Sundancer used an 8hp motor at 72 volts). Perhaps the most interesting thing about the body was the interchangeable rear body sections that transformed the car from a hatchback into a station wagon.
The brochure doesn't directly mention range figures or top speed, but claimed that the Endura could cover more than 100 miles at speeds of 30-35 MPH and could top 65 MPH. Charging time was given as 14-16 hours at 110 volts and seven hours at 220 volts.
So far, the fate of the Endura remains unknown. Globe-Union merged with Johnson Controls in 1978, and Johnson actually includes a picture of the Endura on its website. Could it be sitting in a Johnson warehouse somewhere in Milwaukee?
Going electric in the age of cheap gas: the McKee-built Sundancer
Of the many unusual and innovative vehicles on display at the first Symposium on Low Pollution Power Systems Development in 1973 in Ann Arbor, Michigan, it appeared that just three were functional enough to provide rides around the parking lot for the besuited attendees. While two of those three came from General Motors, the third, the Exide Battery Sundancer, came from a former race wrench who built some of the most powerful American cars to compete in professional racing and had by then already been profiled in the February 1972 issue of Mechanix Illustrated.
Though the article states that Bob McKee's Sundancer (here called the McKee Mark 16 Electric Commuter) came about when the business of building endurance race cars – including the Howmet TX and the 3,983,952), the backbone design results in a low center of gravity as well as a low profile for reduced wind resistance, the latter important for extending the range of the car. And by loading the batteries onto a slide-out tray, maintenance is made simple and drained batteries can then be easily swapped out for freshly charged batteries.As McKee argued in his 1972 patent application for the design of the car (
As for the car itself, McKee applied for a design patent (D224,649) on the shape of the car in 1970, simplifying it and reducing its weight by eliminating the doors and going with a two-piece fiberglass body designed by Michael Williams. The chassis uses four-wheel independent suspension, rack-and-pinion steering, and a steering wheel that swings out of the way to facilitate getting in and out of the car. According to the MI article, the 72hp 8hp electric motor came from Tork-Link in Culver City, California, and drove the wheels through a belt-and-pulley system with an infinite array of gear ratios, similar to DAF's CVT. (The belt-and-pulley system was only used on one of the three cars McKee built; the other two used a conventional two-speed transmission.) The McKee was good for a 100-mile range at 30 MPH and a 62 MPH top speed. McCahill deemed it the world's first practical electric car, though, in his old age, he must've forgotten the Baker Electric, Detroit Electric, and the host of other electric cars that once provided everyday transportation.
McKee said he built three Sundancers, two for Exide and one for himself – the car featured in the Mechanix Illustrated article above. Exide took the cars up to Chrysler and let the Chrysler engineering staff crawl all over them, but with gas so cheap then, neither Chrysler nor any other major manufacturer showed any serious interest in the car. Ray Caldwell of Autodynamics did purchase one of the Sundancers with intentions to produce the car, but nothing ever came of that. McKee said one of the cars ended up being donated to Princeton, and he believes one still exists in Florida.
McKee Engineering ended up building about 20 different electric cars over the years, including the backbone-chassis 1978 Endura, built for Globe-Union Battery, and an electric Hyundai Sonata. In the early 1990s, he even worked with Chrysler on developing an electric minivan, work which placed his name on a couple more patents. Though he's no longer involved in building electric cars today, McKee said he keeps busy at his Chicagoland shop building hot rods and restoring his old race cars.

We Break Our Own Hearts. ~ Rachel Russell
I recently ended a relationship with a man I love dearly.
He loves me too.
We were an odd fit. We made mistakes. I was miserable; now, I'm sad.
It took almost a year of struggling before we began to separate, and I've been filling much of my new free time with reflection.
Sitting with my broken heart, I'm finding that I have been so focused on what externally is hurting me, I have no idea who is the person in my heart that's been hurting. I've been focused on the ways he let me down without holding myself accountable for making decisions that honor my own heart and mind.
So I made a choice: to consciously claim every tear with accountability for the ways I have allowed myself—sometimes, even encouraged myself—to be hurt and dismissed. To take responsibility for every single moment I chose to stay in a situation that was unhealthy for me. To admit that I knew it. To stop expecting myself to be one way or the other and start accepting the person that I am.
I've decided to see how honest I can be.
It's not pretty…but it's perfect.
Early on in the relationship, he crossed boundaries that for me define a healthy intimate space shared within a couple. And I stayed. Because we're different, and our boundaries are different; and when we looked to understand why, we saw more of the person that we loved.
Because even when we're so upset, we look to forgive the people we love.
A few months later, he crossed my boundaries again. And it hurt. And I stayed. Because we make mistakes. Because he apologized and said everything was fine—and even though I didn't feel fine, we're all just trying the best we can.
He crossed them again. Our trust was getting shaky and I knew it. I stayed. Because he asked me to. Because I was/am insecure. Because I'm scared. Because I didn't know what to do.
I asked him to explain again. He told me something different. He told me something that sounded like a slip. He took it back. He didn't apologize.
I stayed. Because it was too late to leave now. Because we'd made it this far. Because I was embarrassed. Because I thought leaving was throwing love away and I don't want to be a person who throws love away.
Our problems were everywhere: every restaurant, every concert, every car ride. He was confused that I was hurting—I was confused that he didn't try to help me. He didn't know what to do. I didn't know what to tell him.
I stayed. Because he stayed.
Because he tolerated my emotions. Because I think I'm lucky to be tolerated and I'm not sure that I deserve anything more.
I called my brother; I told him I had to end the relationship. But I didn't—I started yelling instead. I started being mean.
We went on vacation.
If I wasn't thinking about it, I was terrified of getting hurt. If I was thinking about it, I was hoping something would happen that would give me a reason to go. Because getting hurt isn't a good enough reason when you love someone.
When I told him I was unhappy, he told me he disagreed; I thought that meant I was wrong.
I went to therapy to get right.
I started yelling louder.
I left because I love him and he deserves better. I found out that I love myself…and I deserve better too.
I started finding everything I had swept under the rug. I found a new place to meditate. I found myself crying in the bathroom at work. I found an opening in my chest when I laugh.
I started to look for the person inside that was yelling to make sure she's ok. She gave me a book to read; every word tasted like the air in a secret world where things that are ugly are loved.
We listened to music and fell asleep early and told each other the truth about things that we knew.
I used to think she was my weakness—I found out she can cripple me because she's strong. I let myself feel the pain that she feels; the sobbing forced my chanting to a whisper.
I became stronger on my mat and softer with my friends—I became friends with myself.
At the time, I didn't know what I was doing; I just knew I couldn't blame anyone else for what was going on inside my own heart and mind. I knew that I had to be accountable for my emotions.
I knew that he wasn't breaking my heart—that I was.
One step at a time—one thought, one crying fit at a time—I took responsibility. I owned my sadness and I let my heart fall to pieces.
I had no idea there was something waiting inside.

Yes. Beautiful Thank you for putting words to this:
"I started to look for the person inside that was yelling to make sure she's ok. She gave me a book to read; every word tasted like the air in a secret world where things that are ugly are loved.

Wow, that was powerful. Thank you for sharing! And, this line: "every word tasted like the air in a secret world where things that are ugly are loved." Awesome. It gave me chills!
The book I'm referring to is an incredible read – The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky. "We accept the love we think we deserve." Amazing. http://www.elephantjournal.com/2013/05/we-accept-…
This is profoundly beautiful, honest, soulful and so very, very, wise. It's power is in the open exploration of your heart and in your willingness to excavate the dark as well as the light within and then to embrace and accept those parts. Thank you, for sharing your amazing heart and your endless love with the world through this very important writing.
I am going thru something so similar this shocked me. Thank you .. your words are exactly what was needed right at this very moment.
Thank you for this. I left a relationship after 16 years of breaking my own heart the entire time. Boundaries crossed so many times my head was spinning. I didn't know I could leave. I thought I had to stay and make it work. I was so determined to make it work. When I took all the energy I put into the relationship into myself miracles happened. I found me and it was scary but I love the woman I met.
Thank you, Rachel, for this unbelievably beautiful, accurate, and timely portrayal of a relationship in your life. I went through nearly the exact same thing with a very close friend, can relate to ALL of your feelings about yourself and why you stayed, and I can't tell you how comforting it is to hear that I'm not the only one who stayed too long for all of the same reasons as you. Your best line to me is, "I found out that I love myself…and I deserve better too." It's all about loving ourselves and deserving the best.
Thank you for this, I have been going through this exactly. When I realized I had broken my own heart it changed everything. It is still very painful at the moment, but it is changing my path to healing. To take the blame off the other person, what he did or didn't do, and acknowledge the differences, to confess all I had gone through, the struggles. I was able to tell my ex partner that I broke my own heart too, and because I am taking responsibility for my heart I think I will be able to share it again once I am ready.
That was so honest and true, yet something very few of us recognize or are willing to accept. An amazing read and so eloquent. Thank you for sharing.
I'd like to hear more of what RachelAlina has on her mind. Something about that career that none of us can find…and that's hurting too.
I could have written this word for word. JUST what I needed to read. So well put. Time to heal.
Thank you so much for this post! It's crazy how much I relate – right down to signing up for therapy. I'm still working on the acceptance of responsibility and become friends with myself part. Your article gives me hope

POSTED: 1:30 a.m. HST, Feb 10, 2011
After 32 years, the Hawaii Pearl Open still gets golfers coming and going. Many are on their way up, to bigger challenges, or maybe the mainland or high school. Some are on their way back, to where their game once was, or homes in Japan, Korea and Canada, or the PGA Tour.
Pearl Country Club has become one of golf's most diverse meeting places every February. Half the players, including 67 pros, are from Japan. The others are from all over the map.
Tomorrow, 12-year-old Kevin Kyosuke Hara, a Kaimuki Middle School seventh-grader who qualified Tuesday, will tee off. So will 55-year-old Kiyoshi Murota and 51-year-old Hideki Kase, who have 10 Japan tour wins between them, and $17 million in earnings.
Murota, who had two Top-20 finishes on the Japan tour last year, won here twice in his 40s. He beat Hawaii's Greg Meyer in a 1997 playoff or Meyer, recently inducted into the Hawaii Golf Hall of Fame, would have five Pearl Open championships — one less than David Ishii.
Meyer, Ishii and Parker McLachlin will play again this year, McLachlin for the first time since 2005. The Punahou graduate won the PGA Tour's Reno-Tahoe Open in 2008, but is fighting to get his card back. The fight starts in Aiea tomorrow and McLachlin is not alone.
HAWAII PEARL OPEN» When: From 7 a.m. tomorrow and Saturday and from 8 a.m. Sunday
» Where: Pearl Country Club (Par 36-36--72, 6,800 yards)
» Purse: $81,160 ($12,000 to winner)
» Defending champion: Akinori Tani (12-under-par 204)
» Admission: Free
» Pro-Am: Today at noon
» Sunday: Demo Day from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m, with representatives from Callaway, Cleveland, Nike, TaylorMade, Titleist and Yonex
Mason now lives on the mainland for its competitive and geographic advantages. He is back this week, drawn by the "worldwide field" and an atmosphere he can't find anywhere else.
"A lot of people don't understand how many good players are here, from the mainland, Japan and Hawaii," he says. "Guys like John Ellis and Jesse Mueller are one or two shots from the PGA Tour. The golf course is awesome, one of my favorites, but the field is the best thing about this tournament. Nothing else is even close anywhere else. I haven't played worldwide, but no tournament in America is close to being this diverse."
The 2008 Hawaii State Open champ moved to Hawaii when he was 17, "living and breathing at Kalakaua and Leilehua" as he worked on his game. His father, Maj. Gen. Ray Mason, started Nick in the game a year before they moved here and will caddie this week. "I taught him all I know about golf," Ray told a military publication last year. "But he forgot it and has been fine ever since."
Canadian Nick Taylor also is here. He made his pro debut in October after earning last year's Ben Hogan Award, given to the top collegiate golfer. He was the world's top-ranked amateur 21 straight weeks, with 18 Top 10's his final two seasons at University of Washington.
His coach at UW, Matt Thurmond, got to know Ishii, Pearl's Director of Golf. Thurmond was aware Taylor and his brother Josh, who played for UTEP, would be in Hawaii practicing this week and convinced them to enter.
Nick Taylor, low amateur at the 2009 U.S. Open, plans to play the Canadian Tour when it starts in May, and try to Monday qualify for Nationwide Tour. He has a PGA Tour exemption at Colonial in May but will probably spend most of 2011 "jumping around trying to find places to play."
So will many playing Pearl this week, who are also on the long list of those who came up short at Q-School:
» Two-time NAIA champ Sam Cyr, from Makawao. The King Kekaulike graduate outlasted Dean Wilson to make last year's Mid-Pacific Open his first professional victory;
» Two-time state high school champion Jarett Hamamoto;
» Punahou graduate Jim Seki, the 2002 Pac-10 champion for Stanford. Seki, low amateur in 1998 at Pearl, won the 1998 state high school championship;
» Turtle Bay's Tony and Gipper Finau, from Utah;
» Jesse Mueller, from Arizona, who tied the tournament scoring record (19-under 197) when he won in 2009;
» 2008 Canadian Tour Player of the Year John Ellis, from San Jose, who has been in the top six at Pearl the last three years.
The variety at Pearl does not end with pros in search of the perfect tour. The 1999 U.S. Senior Open champion — Hawaii's Dave Eichelberger — will play at age 67. Rudy Cabalar, Lorens Chan and Masamichi Ito might be the best of the young guns, all at 16. While Cabalar and Chan have sparkled in Hawaii, the 5-foot-1 Ito made his mark in Japan when he became the youngest to make a cut in a tour event — two years ago.
Qualifiers include Moanalua freshman John Oda, Kalani sophomore Richard Hattori and Eimi Koga, a Moanalua sophomore who caddied for the winner last year. She is one of five females, along with Hawaii pros Mari Chun and Ayaka Kaneko.
Chun is playing her first Pearl Open, but volunteered for eight years before heading to Stanford. She has been working with former Pearl pro "Uncle" Allan Yamamoto, another Hawaii Golf Hall of Famer. Chun is using the tournament as a warmup for the Yumeya Dream Cup, later this month in Japan.
"I remember watching the players growing up and I admired them," Chun said. "It didn't occur to me to try and enter, but some friends told me to play. I wanted to kick off my season earlier. This really stretches my abilities and it's a good head start in my own game development, and for future events.
"This is a really good tournament. The people that are playing ... you can't get that type of competition in many places."

Human Trafficking - Joy's HT Updates - February 2011 Update
Dear friends,
As many of you know, yesterday the provincial government of Ontario announced it would be stepping up the fight against human trafficking. This included $1.9million in funding for law enforcement, prosecutors and victim service provides. This is great news! As I said in my last update, I believe this year will hold some big changes in Canada and it is exciting to witness some of the first steps.
February's update includes:
1. National Action Plan To Combat Human Trafficking
2. Online Videos
3. Human Trafficking Presentations
4. Freedom February
5. She Has A Name – Human Trafficking Play
6. Upcoming Events
7. In the News
1. National Action Plan to Combat Human Trafficking
Today, February 22, 2011, will be the 4th Anniversary of the unanimous passing of my Motion, M-153 by the House of Commons. Motion M-153 both condemned human trafficking and called for the government to develop a strategy to combat human trafficking here in Canada and abroad.
M-153 — May 3, 2006 — Mrs. Smith (Kildonan—St. Paul) — That, in the opinion of the House, the trafficking of women and children across international borders for the purposes of sexual exploitation should be condemned, and that the House call on the government to immediately adopt a comprehensive strategy to combat the trafficking of persons worldwide.
As many of you know, I have drafted a proposal for a National Action Plan to Combat Human Trafficking. (you can read it here). I have also drafted a petition to present in Parliament urging the development of a National Action Plan. In light of this anniversary, I would encourage you to take a few moments to download the petition and distribute it for signatures. Already I have presented a few thousand signatures in Parliament and I am hoping to present many more during the spring session. (Download in French or English here)
I am always inspired by British Parliamentarian and abolitionist, William Wilberforce, who presented a petition containing 800,000 signatures, representing 10% of the British population at the time. I am sure we can match this and more.
2. Online Videos
I have recently began to upload videos to Vimeo, a online video website that allows for HiDefinition uploads. It now features the Q&A section from the National Action Plan press conference last fall as well as statements about human trafficking that I have made in the House of Commons. Look out for more videos to be added from events and presentations. You can view the current videos here: http://vimeo.com/joysmithmp/albums. Note - this site also allows you to download my videos if you would like to use them at an event or presentation.
3. Human Trafficking Presentations
Each month I receive many invitations to speak at events or conferences. When I am not bound by my parliamentary duties and schedule, I try to attend as many as possible. However, for the events I am not able to attend, I have started to offer a video message or presentation.
If you are holding a human trafficking event and would like me to speak or provide a video message, please contact my office at 613-992-7148 or by email email@example.com. I would be delighted to contribute in whatever way I can.
4. Freedom February
February is not over and you still have an opportunity to help combat human trafficking. Check out the helpful list created by [free-them]. Remember that you can also do many of the actions throughout the year as well.

Sorry in advance if this blog entry is a little short. I was just in Paris, and I planned to write today's entry there, but then there was an incident, and I had to leave in a hurry before the authorities could question me.
I read in Sean's entry a few days ago about how hard it is to get a book started. A lot of what he said rang true to me, but slightly altered. My problem isn't the beginning, and it's never the end—I always know how a book is going to end when I start it. (Probably the trial lawyer in me, start preparing your case by planning your closing argument.) No, for me, it's those pesky 350 pages in between that are the problem.
I love openings. They are easily my favorite part of the book. You introduce yourself to the reader. You set the tone. You grab hold of them. You tell them, this is how I write, these are my characters, get in and buckle up.
I especially love opening sentences, a micro-version of what I just described. You can outline the hook. You can set a dramatic first scene. You can reveal your protagonist's personality. On a good day, you can do all three. So many possibilities, because you haven't yet backed yourself into a corner, something I've done in every book.
"Allow me to be frank at the commencement. You will not like me."
That might be my favorite opening, from The Libertine at the Steppenwolf, John Malkovich in the lead. Such a self-indulgent, ominous and challenging warning to the viewer.
I remember Victor Gischler's opening in Gun Monkeys, where Charlie is driving down a highway, bemoaning the fact that he forgot to put plastic down in the trunk of his car, which he now regretted in light of the fact that a decapitated corpse resided back there. I pretty much understood what Charlie did, who he was, and how he felt about it in that opening sentence.
I also have to say that Lee Child's new one, Gone Tomorrow, which I haven't finished, has a terrific grabber. Lee's usually good for that, but this one is the best he's done, in my opinion.
Maybe it's all in how you approach writing. I know what Sean means, and what Joyce Carol Oates meant, as well, but unless I have a firm idea of where the book is going, I usually begin writing my novel by searching for the most compelling opening I can write and then trying to keep up, so to speak, with the car rolling down the hill. I let the tail wag the dog. (No other clichés spring to mind, sorry.) And yes, sometimes my directionless opening will reach a dead end, and I will go back and change the opening to match what I have ultimately written. But starting that way is usually the best way for me to get the blood flowing, and it's the most fun. Hey, I still have the next 350 pages to be miserable, before I get to the finale. The end is my second-favorite part of the story.
By the way, it looks like that incident in Paris is going to work out okay for me. They couldn't find the weapon. And they never will.

How to Choose the Right Skin Care Routine
5 Tips For Choosing the Right Skin Care Routine For You
Like us on Facebook
- Get in touch with your skin: "No one needs anyone else to tell them their skin type," says Kramer. "Look in the mirror, feel your skin. I promise, you need no pro to tell you what you already know."
- Take a stroll down memory lane: Think back to products you've used before, noting what it was about them you didn't like.
- See the whole package: "Consider how a product is packaged and what the ingredients are inside." Do you prefer glass or plastic bottles? Are you partial to pumps? Are you partial to natural ingredients?
- Be sensitive: "If you have allergies or sensitivities to a specific ingredient(s), make sure you investigate labels before you buy," recommends Kramer. And even though a product says it's free of fragrances or preservatives, it's still wise to double-check first before you make the purchase.
- Know your (time) limits: Ask yourself how much time is practical for your daily routine. Remember, adds Kramer, "We really only need three to four steps for great skin."

What is tri merge credit report
09:37am | Apr 27, '13 | Public |
You may realize that federal law entitles you to definitely receive one free credit score annually in the three major credit agencies: Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. But which are the the easy way achieve this, and the way to stick to surface of your credit throughout the year?
To obtain your credit file at no cost in the credit bureaus, simply log onto Annualcreditreport.com, the site maintained from the three credit scoring agencies. Once you request your credit files, there is a use of getting those reports in a single of two ways: all at one time, or higher a time period of a few months, maybe even up to a year.
Some experts recommend you will get an individual credit file at any given time, staggering them every 4 months or so, to visit your credit files all year round. Under this, you may retrieve your Equifax report in January, your Experian report four months later in May, and your TransUnion report in another four months, in September. One year later you'd repeat the cycle, obtaining those respective credit history again in January, May and September. Advocates of this method claim that, to execute this plan, you should set up email notifications, text alerts or any other calendar reminders to assist you track your credit - and when to next request a credit file - throughout the year.
While this process can function, I highly recommend an alternative method. Namely, I think you will be much better off getting the three credit file at once, and signing up for a rewarding credit monitoring service. (FreeCreditReport.com features a a good credit score monitoring service, because it tracks all three credit bureaus, and can warn you of any action inside your credit files, including inquiries, newly-opened credit accounts, or late payments reported by creditors).
So just why it's most advantageous to obtain all your credit reports simultaneously - instead of waiting and achieving those credit files inside a staggered fashion over the course of several months? It amounts to these four primary benefits:
1. Speedier Resolution of Errors
If something is wrong in almost any one of the credit files, you want to know about this and get it corrected, pronto. Once you pull all three of your credit file, you're able to instantly know if one, two or all your credit files have inaccuracies about your credit past. If that's the case, you can begin disputing those mistakes immediately. If you waited to get your credit reports, months could go by with damaging, erroneous information on your credit files without you will realizing it. Also remember, if you are seeking any loans, mistakes in your credit files could cause your application to become rejected, or could force you to pay higher rates of interest than you should.
2. Clarity About Differences and Discrepancies inside your Credit Files
By looking at the 3 credit reports in concert, you will get clarity and comprehension of numerous potential differences and discrepancies found in your various credit files. For instance, can you of one's reports reveal that that student loan you repaid, however the other two lack that information? If so, you will want to have that positive payment history (i.e. an eye on your successful loan payoff) put into the two other credit files. Along with what about other discrepancies? Have you been listed as a possible authorized user or a certain bank card account in your TransUnion report, but as a co-signer of the same credit account on your own Equifax file? The real difference may seem subtle, nevertheless it make a difference your credit rating. Also, maybe you have pulled your credit scores rather than understood why the scores from the Experian report arrived at 700, as the score depending on your Equifax file was a 675, and the TransUnion-linked score was only 658? These score discrepancies could be explained by the disparities inside your credit files; disparities for example inquiries listed, level of debts shown, or the payment background reported in every of one's credit files.
3. Better Credit Education
Probably the chief advantage of viewing your credit reports together may be the amazing amount of financial education you'll assuredly get about your credit profile simply by studying the highlights of each credit profile, and exactly how that similar details are presented differently in each credit report. Each one of us learns differently, and you will find that you understand some part of your credit better (or otherwise also) from the reports generated by Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. As an example, after pulling my latest TransUnion report, my first thought, in all candor, was: Yuck. Not since i had poor credit; my credit is in fact excellent. However i simply didn't just like the way the knowledge was presented in my TransUnion file. The small print about the file was difficult to read. There was confusing images. All my accounts were listed alphabetically, rendering it challenging to determine or see which accounts were closed versus which ones were open. It reminded me of an engineering report with little boxes and some tips i had to somehow decipher. In general, the delivery of information from TransUnion wasn't attractive or particularly enlightening to me. Contrary to the TransUnion credit file, I truly liked the visual presentation in my Equifax and Experian reports. My Experian report was easy to read, presented inside a clean summary-style format, and clued me in to salient points right ways, such as the variety of open and closed accounts within my file, cheap all of my accounts were in good standing without any delinquencies. With my Equifax report, I appreciated that Equifax did a lot of analysis work with me. It too informed me the quantity of Open Accounts I'd, provided me with balances, available credit and credit limits on each, and then calculated my debt to credit ratio. My Equifax report also tallied my payment amounts in every category (mortgage, installment and revolving debt), and explained to me of how many accounts hade an account balance. So my point is just this: each credit history had something valuable to offer; had I only looked at one report, I wouldn't have discovered the maximum amount of. To summarize, simply because the TransUnion report didn't wow me, does not mean it certainly won't be discernible or valuable to you personally. Some of us enjoy travelling to information presented in a text-heavy manner, with many different words and explanations. Others prefer charts and graphs to clarify things to you. But still others like pictures or snapshot summaries. Regardless of what your preference, you will end up much more educated concerning your credit if you take the time to check out the information contained in each of the three reports together. As proof of this, I should remember that despite my previous comments about my TransUnion report, I nevertheless did learn several valuable takeaways thanks to that relate - information I would not have immediately grasped had I only pulled my Equifax or Experian reports. For example, TransUnion was the only real bureau to give us a introduction to the size of my credit score. At the top of my TransUnion report was a statement having said that: "You have been getting our files since 02/1987." This is helpful to know, especially considering that the length of credit history counts in computing one's credit rating. The TransUnion report furthermore explained several mysterious codes which can be sometimes found in credit reports, but not always explained. More specifically, my TransUnion report stated: "If any item in your credit history starts with 'MED1', it offers medical information as well as the data following 'MED1' just isn't displayed to anyone but you except where permitted by law." Although I had no medical debt, this could be good info for anyone wanting to interpret that MED1 code.
4. More Comprehensive View of Your Overall Credit Standing
When you are getting the three of one's credit reports simultaneously, you're giving yourself exactly the same comprehensive, birds-eye view of your credit profile that many lenders use. Especially when banks are evaluating you for a major loan, for instance a mortgage, most of them will pull a so-called tri-merged report, or perhaps a 3-in-1 credit profile containing information from TransUnion, Equifax and Experian. There's a reason why lenders want to examine all three of one's reports: and it is to get the contract details about you, and the broadest possible look at your credit history. If lenders and creditors take that full scale method of examining your credit, then so in case you. Some of you might ask: But imagine if I am not seeking a mortgage? Do I should know what's in most three reports? The answer is a convincing yes. While you may not be in the market for a mortgage, is it feasible in the future you'll make an application for any form of credit whatsoever - say a charge card, an auto loan or some sort of a personal credit line? If so, you obviously know that a bank will probably pull your credit. The main problem is: you don't know which credit profile they'll examine. That is why you ought to know what's in most three of those reports. Do not take on the potential risk of being ignorant about something missing or erroneous in your credit report, inside them for hours that information hurt your odds of getting the credit you need or need.
As you have seen, there's a host of top reasons to get all your credit reports simultaneously, especially through the global recession we have been experiencing. A simultaneous study of the 3 files - from Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion - is probably the most sure-fire methods for getting a real picture of the credit status. Given this information, it's almost unthinkable that lots of people either consciously or unconsciously choose not to pull their credit files - but they could possibly get them quickly, cost-free, and even conveniently online.
