Analysts: Dreamliner review could work to Boeing's benefit
- Plane began carrying passengers 15 months ago after 3-year delay
- Company has delivered 50 Dreamliners%2C with commitments for 800 more
- Airlines are standing by Boeing and have no plans to ground fleets
A government review of the design, manufacturing and assembly of Boeing's 787 Dreamliner is a publicity nightmare for the company and its new-age plane.
However, industry analysts say, the microscopic examination of the jetliner could ultimately put to rest any concerns that the flying public may have by showing it's as safe as it is innovative.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said Friday it was undertaking a comprehensive review of the plane after a series of glitches occurred over the past week.
In announcing the review, Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said he thought the plane was safe, but regulators were "concerned" about the mishaps, wanted to explore their "root causes" and "do everything possible to make sure they don't happen again."
Although unusual, aviation analyst Richard Aboulafia said, the review in the end could burnish Boeing's image and ease doubters' worries.
"Here's a series of incidents that are embarrassing and painful but not life threatening," Aboulafia says. The review "in the long run (is) going to show the system works and it's almost certainly going to completely endorse the design of the aircraft."
The Dreamliner is a much-celebrated plane. It's the first commercial jet made mostly of lightweight carbon composites instead of metal, cutting down airline costs for fuel, while allowing carriers to fly non-stop between new, distant destinations.
The jet offers passengers a more comfortable flying experience with larger overhead bins, vaulted ceilings and higher humidity levels in the cabin that can help reduce jet lag.
But the plane, which began carrying passengers 15 months ago, has been troubled from the start.
Incidents and enthusiasm
Its first delivery was delayed by more than three years for reasons ranging from a machinists strike, to outsourced parts, to an on-board electrical fire in November 2010 that temporarily halted all test flights.
Its troubles multiplied last week.
On Friday, cracks were spotted in the cockpit window of a Dreamliner flown by All Nippon Airways from Tokyo to Matsuyama airport in Japan. The jet landed safely, but was grounded for repairs.
The same day, another ANA flight from Miyazaki to Tokyo was delayed because of a minor oil leak from a generator in the plane's left engine. The flight arrived safely, and the generator and its leaky component were to be replaced.
On Tuesday, a fuel leak from a Japan Airlines Dreamliner flight to Tokyo was detected before takeoff from Boston's Logan International Airport.
The day before, a lithium-ion battery caught fire on another Japan Airlines plane at Logan. That plane was empty and on the ground when the fire broke out.
Boeing's shares were buffeted throughout the week, and their price was down 2.5% to $75.16 at Friday's close after rising 2.8% over the previous 12 months.
Boeing, the world's biggest aerospace company, continued to express confidence in its plane, which is the fastest-selling twin-aisle commercial jet in the company's history.
The company is "100% behind the integrity of the 787 and the rigorous process that led to its successful certification and entry into service,'' Boeing CEO Jim McNerney said in a statement Friday.
"We look forward to participating in the joint review with the FAA," he said, "and we believe it will underscore our confidence, and the confidence of our customers and the traveling public, in the reliability, safety and performance of the innovative, new 787 Dreamliner."
Indicative of the confidence, Boeing announced Friday it has bought a new building in West Jordan, Utah, to make parts for the 787-9. The company will soon start hiring to fill roughly 100 new jobs at the facility.
Several airlines, which have invested hundreds of millions of dollars to buy the futuristic jet, also are standing by Boeing. And, they say, their Dreamliners will keep flying.
"Although the new plane has technical problems from time to time, we think it is one of our responsibilities to make this aircraft a better one together with Boeing," All Nippon Airways, the first to fly paying passengers on a Dreamliner, said in a statement. ANA currently flies 17 of the planes.
United, which has six Dreamliners and was the first U.S. airline to receive one, says it has no plans to ground its 787 fleet.
"We continue to have complete confidence in the 787 and in the ability of Boeing, with the support of the FAA, to resolve these early operational issues," United said. "We will support Boeing and the FAA throughout their review."
Akbar Al Baker, CEO of Qatar Airways, which got its first Dreamliner in November, said the jet is "integral" to the carrier's plans for growth and that the airline "has taken every precaution" to make sure it is safe.
"It is common for new airplanes to have teething issues with various components," he said in a statement. "We are confident in Boeing that they will expediently resolve any issues with the 787."
Pressing ahead
Boeing has delivered 50 Dreamliners to airlines around the world and has sales or commitments to deliver about 800 more.
The company says it will press ahead with plans to step up the pace of the plane's production from five to 10 a month by the end of this year.
Still, if the FAA review turns up a flaw in a large number of the jets, it could lead to more production delays, warns aviation analyst Aboulafia.
"That's going to be a key issue to look at," he says. If the problem is more widespread, "yes, you're going to see a slowdown" in production. "Maybe after being delayed three- to three-and-a-half years they should have taken it a little slower.''

European Component Initiative (ECI)
The European Component Initiative (ECI) exists to reduce the dependence of Europe's space sector on non-European component suppliers, focusing on one of the building blocks of space missions - Electrical, Electronic and Electromagnetic (EEE) components.
The ECI increases the availability of European EEE-components used in European space missions by identifying critical space technologies and then developing capabilities to manufacture them within Europe.
Why is the ECI needed
While a spacecraft might carry the ESA emblem or European flags, that does not mean it was entirely designed and built in Europe. Typically well over half of the on-board EEE-components have been sourced from beyond European shores, the share having worsened in recent years, but with signs that it is recovering as a consequence of the ECI programme.
ESA, along with national space agencies and equipment and components manufacturers have identified a high risk of the European space industry becoming dependent on non-European sources for critical space components. In the long term this can lead to a reliance on products subject to export restrictions, such as the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) or End User certificates.
Such an outcome weakens the competitiveness of Europe's space industry and compromises European non-dependence: the best technology for a given mission might no longer be accessible, or European-developed space systems could be blocked from sale in global markets.
The space sector represents a comparatively small niche within larger EEE-component markets. Furthermore, the performance and reliability requirements for space components are often difficult to match with already existing terrestrial product lines.
In order to maintain a viable supply of space qualified EEE-components, active measures from space agencies are required. The ECI was therefore formally agreed by the ESA Ministerial Council in 2004, with the aim of reversing this trend of dependency.
How is the ECI implemented?
The Initiative is an open cooperative project with ESA and partner national space agencies each participating with their own funding. From 2005 its first phase concentrated on consolidating end user requirements for industry and implementing activities to advance components' technology levels up to space qualified status.
Components having been qualified for space use are formally added to the European Space Qualified Parts List (QPL), available for the use by ESA and national agency missions and commercial users. End-user requirements are mapped from the start, helping ensure maximum global market penetration of ECI-developed parts.
This activity is performed through the European Space Component Coordination (ESCC) a body representing all major stakeholders from component manufacturers to prime contractors. ESCC also served to identify and evaluate a list of technology candidates for ECI's second phase, which formally commenced in early 2008.
ECI Phase II addressed two product categories:
- Product technologies – where the deliverable is itself a space qualified component replacing the non-European product,
- Enabling capabilities – where the deliverable technology enables processes and capabilities to produce space qualified components.
Many of the future ECI activities are included within ESA's General Support Technology Programme (GSTP) Element 2, which has the aim of bringing new generic technologies to space qualified status.
At the beginning of 2011 approval was given for a third phase of ECI, this time the focus being on providing longer term access to strategic components and technologies.
What benefits does the ECI deliver?
...consolidating end user requirements for industry...
The ECI has worked to increase the overall availability of high reliability components from a wide base of suppliers and designed in response to identified market needs and strategic gaps, in the process strengthening the non-dependence and competitiveness of European industry.
During ECI's first phase some 20 separate components were developed via ESA-funding, together with 11 sponsored by the French and German space agencies CNES and DLR. The majority of the developments have been included on the Qualified Parts List of the European Space Components Coordination, commending them for use on European space missions.
Overall the ECI is aiming to achieve 50 percent EEE-component procurement from European sources for a typical European spacecraft in the medium term. The secondary goal is to dramatically increase the global market share of European space-qualified component suppliers.
How to get involved?
ECI procurement takes place on an open competitive basis as a general rule. ESA-funded Invitations to tender, funded on a 100 percent basis, are listed continuously throughout the year on ESA's EMITS website.
Members of the European space components industry and equipment manufacturers have the opportunity to propose future technologies for ECI activities through participation to the ESCC working groups or by directly contacting ECI project office email@example.com. More information on how to participate is available through the European Space Components Information Exchange System (ESCIES) website

Raise income tax by 6p in the pound, UK told
Britain should raise income taxes by 6p in the pound to make bigger inroads into its huge deficit or risk being vulnerable to the next financial crisis, according to a leading thinktank that advises the Treasury.
Current plans by the political parties to reduce spending and pay down debt would not be enough to prepare the country for a collapse like that of Lehman Brothers and a deep recession, said the National Institute of Economic and Social Research (NIESR).
The hard-hitting criticism of plans by all political parties to cut the deficit, and especially the reliance on "mythical" efficiency savings, came as Europe was convulsed for a second day by the aftershocks of Standard & Poor's decision to downgrade Spanish government debt. more...

Tour de France Grand Champions
Alberto Contador has won his third Tour de France, as seven-time champion Lance Armstrong competed in the race for the last time.
Britain's Mark Cavendish led a sprint to win the 20th and final stage, a largely ceremonial 102.5-kilometer (63.7-mile) course from Longjumeau to the Champs-Elysees in Paris.
Spaniard Contador sealed his third title in four years by holding off a challenge from his main rival, Andy Schleck of Luxembourg.
Schleck finished second, 39 seconds back, and Denis Menchov of Russia was third overall.
Cavendish claimed his fifth stage success of this year's race and 15th of his career.
Contador exchanged hugs with his Astana teammates, who began chanting "Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole" on the famed Paris thoroughfare as thousands of fans lining the route cheered.
Contador joins Greg LeMond, Louison Bobet and Philippe Thys as a three-time Tour champion. Armstrong is the most successful Tour rider with seven consecutive wins, between 1999 and 2005.
Armstrong completed his last Tour in 23rd place, 39:20 after Contador, his former teammate and rival. It was a far cry from the American's third-place finish in 2009 on his return from a four-year retirement.
We have done a little statistic of the Tour de France champions, and made a PowerPoint presentation and a video, enjoy them!

The cover story of Research magazine's April issue looks into a growing trend in advisor training programs toward "Pursuing Simplicity." This means enabling the development of advisory practices that are more focused, better organized and ultimately simpler to manage. Contributing Editor Ellen Uzelac looks at how this emphasis can translate into practical improvements in client communications, operational efficiencies and more.
Also in the issue, a feature article on "The Measured Approach to Value," by Gerald Burstyn, describes how value investors today are applying their philosophy to a turbulent market, including through practicing time-honored virtues of patience, diligence and realism.
Among the April issue's other offerings: Bill Good's Sales Seminar column discusses a new way to seek referrals related to inheritance; and Kenneth Silber's Political Monitor column scrutinizes the potential impact of the organization Americans Elect, which aims to provide a third major choice in this year's presidential election.
Click through the following slides to preview the April issue of Research magazine.
Advisor training programs have discovered the benefits of keeping it simple, as Contributing Editor Ellen Uzelac explains in Research magazine's April cover story.
Billie Gray, manager of practice development for RBC Wealth Management in Minneapolis, sums up the new emphasis: "The ability to focus and simplify is critically important to every advisor's success."
The changed approach touches on a broad range of areas, including client communications, branding and identity, as well as operational efficiencies. One technique aimed at focusing on what's important is phrasing an advisor's value proposition in not more than 15 words, similar to the way Hollywood screenplays are sold using concise loglines. Done right, this can encourage clients to welcome further conversations.
Some firms are providing compliance-approved content for advisors to distribute via Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and other social media. This enables advisors to spend more time on client contact. Another technique aimed at streamlining procedures and focusing on what's important is the use of disciplined timelines, such as a 90-day engagement schedule for clients new to a firm.
The Measured Approach to Value
Gerald Burstyn interviews value investors about their investment philosophy and how it applies to today's turbulent stock market.
Patience, diligence and realism are the keynotes of the value approach. "You basically look for companies that you can understand, you figure out how much they're worth, figure out the discount to the fair value, and that gives you a buy price," says value guru Vitaliy Katsenelson. "When the companies get to the buy price, you buy them. Otherwise, you just wait."
Data show that value investors have had a tough time in the past few years, but also that value portfolios over the past decade have outperformed the broader market.
Keeping expectations realistic is a priority for some value investors. "I try to be a singles hitter," says portfolio manager David Merkel. "I like to come up to the plate and get a hit. I don't try to hit a home run."
Where are today's market bargains? The value-oriented managers of Croft-Leominster, a Baltimore-based investment advisory, like auto parts manufacturer Dana (DAN) and blue-chip Johnson & Johnson (JNJ). Value investor Frank Voisin thinks traditional electronics retailers are "historically cheap" at the moment. He's bullish on Best Buy (BBY), RadioShack (RSH) and GameStop (GME).
Clearing firms increasingly are coming to resemble consulting firms. Beyond their traditional core business of transaction processing and custody, clearers are offering a growing array of services, including giving advice to financial advisors on how to run their practices more effectively.
Helping advisory practices grow is a major focus. "With greater efficiency, advisors will have more time to bring in more clients, as well as more assets from existing clients," says Sanjiv Mirchandani, National Financial's president. "When we help our customers grow, we process more trades and custody more assets. So everybody wins."
National Financial's growth-oriented products include the Catapult Project, which brings wirehouse-type resources to independents, and Business Process Manager, targeted at creating the paperless office. Pershing is working on an ultra-efficient end-to-end multi-custodial solution, expected to be implemented this year. Upcoming at First Clearing: a business planning tool that helps advisors better segment their books.
Besides fostering organic growth, clearing firms are working to help clients expand through recruiting. For instance, Raymond James & Associates' Correspondent Clearing organizes recruiting campaigns, and also provides transition and succession-planning services.
Sales Seminar columnist Bill Good notes that credible studies show that when money is inherited, the heirs frequently seek new advisors. To be on the receiving end of such transfers, advisors would do well to network with CPAs, lawyers and other professionals.
Good unveils a project he and others are working on, called Final Transitions Planning. It involves developing a nationwide network, organized into local chapters, of trusted professionals who will provide referrals to each other when clients need services related to end-of-life issues.
Dan Murphy, a Wells Fargo advisor and key figure in developing the project, explains how being part of such a network could help preserve existing client relationships, as well as generating referrals: "Using the resource we have built, you have an opportunity to help a client through one of life's most difficult times. You bring a steady hand, and you bring real help by directing them to a process that the average person never learns because they go through this only a couple of times, have no experience, and are emotional wrecks. When you can help a client during the loss of a loved one, you have a client for life."
Kenneth Silber's Political Monitor column looks at Americans Elect, an organization working to put an alternative to the Democratic and Republican candidates on ballots in this November's presidential election.
The group is conducting an Internet-based nominating process, culminating in an online convention in June. Among names that have risen high on a draftee list are Ron Paul, Jon Huntsman, Bernie Sanders and Michael Bloomberg. Some hopefuls actively seek the Americans Elect nomination, including former Louisiana Governor Buddy Roemer and Boston University economist Laurence Kotlikoff.
Americans Elect was founded by private-equity executive Peter Ackerman, and its backers include a number of financial industry executives. Consequently, Silber writes, the organization "is getting caught up in the contentious politics swirling around anything related to Wall Street this year." Left-leaning pundit Robert Kuttner, for instance, decried Americans Elect as a "well-funded, faux-reformist group" and "hedge-fund-spawned third party."
Silber cautions, though, that "if Americans Elect was designed to be a Wall Street vehicle, its engineers took a considerable risk in building it around a mechanism of online popular voting, especially at a moment of high public dissatisfaction with financial companies." Indeed, he observes, the prospective nominees include some high-profile advocates of measures likely to generate strong Wall Street opposition, such as Jon Huntsman's proposal to downsize the largest banks.

As expected, this morning I had a killer hangover. Even around 3pm it was still bugging me.
Eventually I managed to leave the house and make my way towards Shibuya.. on foot!
Initially I was only thinking we'd walk around Yotsuya, so I could take some pretty pictures of the last yellowing leaves of early winter, soon to drop and leave the skeletal remains of the trees.
This is the path along the main road leading towards Yotsuya station.
I can't help to mock the politician on this poster that I always see on the wall near my street.
This is Yotsuya crossing looking towards the koban and Yotsuya metro station.
As it was getting darker, we kept walking alongside the Imperial Palace and Jingu Gaien noticing a lot of the fallen yellow leaves. So Pretty. It was hard to take decent non-blurry photos without the flash.
This is a random Christmas "illumination" photo in Aoyama's CI Plaza. It turned out better than I expected.
I'm told the sign next to the Coca-Cola billboard is an advertisement for a hangover medicine. Just what I needed today!
This is an interesting sculpture outside the Aoyama theatre.
This is the AO building in Aoyama. At the moment it's so new, the only part open is the Kinokuniya supermarket. It's great to see some unusual architecture in the typically dull Tokyo cityscape.
If you look carefully you can see Kiddyland on the left. One of my favourite toy shops, in Omotosando. Lots of cool stuff.
Looking for love? This may be the place, in a back street of Omotosando.
Yes, I'm immature when I read things into this.
Since we walked this far we kept on going to Shibuya, not that far away. When most people first come to Japan they read that OIOI store as "zero one zero one" or "oi oi". The latter sounds more Aussie to me. It's actually the Marui department store.
And then we went to Karaoke.. NOT! By this time we were quite hungry and decided on pizza at Shakeys. It's not the most quality food, and I kind of regret that feeling in my stomach afterwards, but for 1500 yen all you can eat, it's a good way to beat hunger in Shibuya.
It took around an hour to walk back home from Shibuya. My legs were so tired. It wasn't such a bad way to get over a hangover though.

Walking To Shibuya
As expected, this morning I had a killer hangover. Even around 3pm it was still bugging me.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – New England Revolution defender Kevin Alston has been diagnosed with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), a rare but treatable form of leukemia, and has taken an indefinite leave of absence from the team to undergo treatment.
Alston's medical treatment is not expected to require hospitalization and he expects to return to the team in the future, however, he and his family have requested privacy while he undergoes treatment.
"The Revolution fully supports Kevin as he begins treatment," Revolution General Manager Michael Burns said. "Right now, the most important thing for Kevin, and his family, is to concentrate on returning to full health. Kevin's had a tremendous attitude since the diagnosis and his positivity is an inspiration for all of us."
More information about CML can be found at the National CML Society's site. Major strides in research and treatment of CML have been made in recent years.
Fans wishing to send Alston get-well messages and thoughts can email firstname.lastname@example.com or tag tweets with #GetWellKA.
Alston, 24, has started all four of the Revs' games this season at left back. In his career, he has started all 116 games in which he's played since New England drafted him 10th overall in the 2009 MLS SuperDraft out of Indiana University. He ranks ninth on the Revs' career charts in games played, and eighth in games started. Alston also started the 2010 MLS All-Star Game.

Plorg's Picks: XFL Khemri 2006

XFL Khemri 2006
Plorg's Picks
Now the schedule isn't up yet, but there are certain things we can expect from an all-Khemri tournament.
First off, if we
sort the Blood Bowl rosters by Casualties inflicted
, the leaders are...
Khemri ... +1.03
Dwarf ... +0.66
Orc ... +0.48
Ogre ... +0.42
There are several reasons for Khemri's dominance in the bashing game.
+ 4x ST5 Mummies (GS)
+ 2x Blitz-Ras (GS)
As Dwarfs, Orcs, and Ogres all know, Strength access makes low-spp players awesome bashers.
All a player really needs to be a good basher is Block, Guard, and to a lesser extent Mighty Blow and Tackle.
Since this is a Khemri tournament, we shouldn't expect to see much Dodge so let's set Tackle aside.
Block, Guard, Mighty Blow.
For Mummies and Blitz-Ras, this is only two normal skill increases.
More skills are nice gravy but not essential and make the player a bigger target.
+ 30k Linemen (DP)
Skeletons are the *perfect* Dirty Players. The team doesn't lose much if they get sent off and their damage potential far outweighs their cost.
+ Regeneration everywhere
One thing to note about all official FUMBBL Tournaments is that if there is a tie after 16 turns (per player), then the game goes another full half (8 turns each) of OverTime.
When a team depends on Regeneration (which a player can use any number of times) instead of an Apothecary (which can be used once), then they can better withstand the attrition of a full 24 turn game.
What this means is that these Khemri teams might still be quite strong in OT, depending on Regen rolls and how many DPs are sent off.
+ Ramtut III
For 80k, Khemri teams can hire 5629 Block, Mighty Blow, Break Tackle, Regenerate Star.
ST 6 and Break Tackle means this player can attempt crazy dodges into cages (with reroll access) for powerful blitzes.
However as with all rosters with only one Star Player in a mirror match, either one coach will have him or neither will.
A Khemri team with a high treasury (200k+) can effectively buy out Ramtut for the duration of a three-round tournament.
So in summary we should expect this Tournament to have some of the
bashiest, fouliest, ruthlessest games ever seen on FUMBBL
If you're into that sort of thing (heh heh), then stay tuned...

Now that
the schedule is up
, we can take a look at the participating teams.
Going over these teams, it is evident that not all Khemri teams are the same. They may be very very similar, but not identical.
There are some specific things to look for in a team in an all-Khemri tournament:
+ Ramtut Rounds (Treasury / 80k)
+ Guards
+ Dirty Players
+ Rerolls
+ Fan Factor
Rerolls are exceptionally important for Khemri if they plan on moving the ball around the field. Thro-Ras have Sure Hands for a built-in reroll (which is essential) but they still have AG 2 and drop the pickups a lot. If any player other than the Thro-Ras attempt to carry the ball, then rerolls are crucial.
FF is mainly important for the advantage when Getting the Ref. Other kickoff results are nice, but in a world of DPs that kickoff result can end the game early.
Now... the teams!
Krush Kill 'n' Destroy
+ Ramtut: 2-3 (180k)
+ Guard: 5
Egyptian Corpses
+ Ramtut: 2* (80k*)
+ Guard:
*already purchased Ramtut for Round 1.
The Corpses have a full roster, Ramtut, some Block, and 2 +AG rolls. The AG is almost useless here.
The lack of Guard and Dirty Player means that the Corpses are going to be severely outbashed by the KKD.
Aside from handicaps, their only advantage Ramtut can easily be bought out by the opponent. That is, if KKD deems it a worthy expenditure.
KKD could easily win this game regardless and save the money for the next rounds.
Plorg's Pick: Krush Kill 'n' Destroy by 2
+ Ramtut: 1-2 (110k)
+ Guard: 4
Junglist Rude Boys
+ Ramtut: 2-3 (190k)
+ Guard: 5
One thing to look for in this game: Hail Mary Pass.
Both teams have it, so expect some deep backfield Thro-Ra plays to scrambling upfield skeletons.
This might spread out the players a bit over the field and reduce the overall effectiveness of Guard.
Another interesting note is the Junglist Rude Boys consistent wall of Break Tackle mummies.
Anticipate some insane cage breaking blitzes by the JRB.
While Break Tackle and Hail Mary Pass are both reroll eaters, both teams are stocked with 6 RR.
This should be a very interesting match to spectate.
Plorg's Pick: Junglist Rude Boys by 1
Pushing is fun
+ Ramtut:
+ Guard: 2
Scarab Beatles
+ Ramtut: 3 (230k)
+ Guard: 3
A DP-free team goes up against everlasting Ramtut.
The Scarab Beatles have all the advantages here, including enough cash to give Plorg a headache next game
A quick look at the TD and Cas differences for both teams makes the outcome of this match clear.
Plorg's Pick: Scarab Beatles by 1
+ Ramtut: 1-2 (120k)
+ Guard: 7
Ancient Pigskins
+ Ramtut: 0 (70k)
+ Guard: 4
Ashes (coached by Yours Truly
) is based on two principles: Guard and Dirty Player.
Getting lucky on the doubles skill rolls makes this the meanest pack of skeleton linemen Plorg has ever seen let alone coached.
The mummies are average, and the niggled one (by recent aging) will certainly be leaving after the tournament.
The Ancient Pigskins have some dangerous Blitz-Ras, which means they will be priority targets to the horde of Ashes DPs.

Nice summary and some good points made. furthermore, I think that this is the first time someone did something like this for a XFL tournament. Total support from me for it, since I dont understand, why just the major tournaments should get all the attention.
On the otherhand this could most easily become the biggest farce of tournament, since it is all that much dependend on 4+ rolls. The first round is quite okay and all in all even matchups (okay mine isnt but most others are, especially concerning that this is a tournament without TR limit).
And to name the 4+ rolls: Coin Flips, regeneration, pick ups and fouls with the eye on you. Everything 4+ and especially the regeneration thing could lead to some very uneven matchups in the second round, since even only one or two mummies missing can have a huge impact on a Khemri team. And most of the teams in the tournament and especially your first round favorites seem to rely on the same tactic which involves having 4 mummies.
so good luck to everyone - i would really like to see some stats about how many CAS or fouls are made during the whole tourney. Should be more than even in some 32 player tournaments...
good luck to all other participants

Well, that cas/foul statistic is not that hard to make after the games are done. I can do it for the round 1, I just love statistics.
And in my opinion, this is way more interesting than the previous XLF�s, as now all the teams are relying on the same tactic: bash everything. No team has any better ball handling than other. 4 teams has one +AG, and two of them are nigglers. So no elfball coming.
It'll be entertaining to see those games, as there will be blood. And we all love blood.

I don't know who it was, but I played someone with an AG 4 Thro-Ra once. Man that was a sweet player. Shame he had no one to catch the ball, but man that was a sweet player.
PS: I'm flattered, but I'm not sure I'd have picked me to win first round. Certainly not with any certainty. Melissa's Khemri have been around forever, and I've seen her get a fair bit of success in mixed tourneys with this team before.
Shame its retirement party is so soon

Round 1 Update:
With two games done,
Krush Kill 'n' Destroy
Scarab Beatles
pull ahead as predicted.
Props to their opponents Thorpe_Star and Zlefin for taking a mummy out of both winning teams.
With 110k in the bank and a mummy dead, this might affect whether Krush Kill 'n' Destroy hires Ramtut anytime soon.
Scarab Beatles came through with only an MNG on their best mummy.
They have the cash to drop and replace him with a fresh one and hire Ramtut too, but the skills on the MNG make that a questionable move.

Update continued...
Round 1 started with a bang and ended with a whimper...
Win by no-show forfeit? Win by concession?!?
This is not the stuff that tournaments are made of!
In a surprise upset (as Plorg's Picks are concerned), Kauliniai achieved a win by concession over the JRB.
The luck percentages for that game indicate just how dangerous a Khemri team's life is.
While they have tremendous offensive bashing power, the truth remains that most of the team is AV 7.
If Nuffle is on your side (luck >70%), then your bashing and fouling causes tremendous casualties.
If Nuffle is not on your side (luck < 45%), then pretty much anything you try ends in failure.
This game demonstrated both ends of the spectrum.
In the interest of commentating the bashiness of this tournament, this match is valuable evidence.
Watching the replay, we see:
JRB receives
Kickoff: Throw a Rock: KO Ramtut(JRB)
Before the game even starts, Nuffle tells JRB that Ramtut will not be playing in this drive.
Block: SI Mummy(JRB) no regen
Foul: SI Mummy(JRB) no regen
After Kauliniai's first turn, they have taken two JRB mummies out of the game for good.
Block: KO BlitzRa(Kaul)
Block: KO Mummy(JRB)
One JRB mummy still standing on the field at this point.
Kauliniai moves a Blitz-Ra into the JRB backfield to harass the Thro-Ra ball carrier.
Dodge: KO ThroRa carrier(JRB)
The JRB Thro-Ra tries to Dodge away from the Kauliniai Blitz-Ra, and KO's himself on the failed Dodge.
No other JRB players are in range to pick up the ball.
Block: BH BlitzRa(JRB) no regen
Block: KO Skel(JRB)
Foul: SI Mummy(JRB) regen! sendoff!
At this point, JRB has three players remaining on the field, with all mummies in the dugout.
Kauliniai's Blitz-Ra is in range to pick up the ball and score in the next turn.
... concession(JRB)
As for the Ashes/Ancient Pigskins game, kypseli's no-show takes Ashes into the second round with no damage.
Unfortunately, it also takes Ashes into the next round without any expected winnings, which affects the long term Ramtut purchasing plan.
Hopefully, the winnings from a Round 2 win will be at least 40k to afford Ramtut in round 3.
Scarab Beatles vs Ashes is expected to be played sometime tomorrow afternoon (as far as the Western U.S. time zone is concerned).

I'll just go ahead and write my team's eulogy now:
The Scarab Beatles are one of the meanest, toughest teams around. It typically takes about 20 minutes to find anyone willing to play them. They have kicked the crap out of ogres. They have made dwarves concede. They have made orcs cry. They have retired teams. They have made a diet out of the baddest teams on Gamefinder, inflicting an average of 3.5 casualties per game.
But he who lives by the sword dies by the sword.
You see, the problem is: somewhere out there, there is always somebody even tougher.
And today, the Beatles will get to meet them.
With their best mummy injured, the Beatles will face Plorg's Ashes, a team of absolute butchers. This team makes the Beatles look like wood elves. These murderous monsters have averaged an unbelievable 4.5 casualties per game over 39 games. God knows how many teams they have retired. If you want a riotous laugh, watch one of their replays. ANY of them. Riotous laugh for you, that is. But for the Beatles, as they watched the footage of their next opponents giving team after team a lesson in fouling, Ozymandias' words seemed to rise from the sand: "Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!"
But this much I promise:
I'm not giving Plorg another bye. The Beatles will show up. And no matter what happens, they are not going to yell "mercy!" after 4 turns. This match will last all 16 turns. At least. The Scarab Beatles are going down swinging.
So tune in for the carnage, friends. If you're into that sort of thing.

And carnage there was, aplenty! This game certainly lived up to Plorg's prediction of one of the "bashiest, fouliest, ruthlessest games ever". Yet somehow, at the end of it, not only had (most of) the Scarab Beatles survived (thank god for regeneration), they had actually won.
My apologies to both Plorg and the spectators for playing annoyingly slow - this was the biggest game I've ever been in and I was kinda nervous.
Plorg was a a totally classy opponent and kept a good, friendly attitude even while suffering a disappointing loss to a worse coach with a worse team.
Now if only my ridunkulous luck can hold up for just one more match...
Don't ask Nuffle for better dice, ask him to make you a better player.

Round 2 update:
In a disheartening
, Scarab Beatles pulled ahead and defeated Ashes in Round 2.
Scarab Beatles had a strong first half on the defensive, with Ashes trading mummy for mummy on the early fouls.
Turn 7 hightlights some nice dodging and passing action by the Ashes ThroRa,
but a misstep for the BlitzRa receiver left him in range for a 2d block and the TD was lost.
Tied 0-0 at halftime, Scarab Beatles received.
This time the dice favored the Ashes bashing game, as by Turn 4 there were 4 Ashes mummies on the field and 4 Scarab mummies in the dugout.
However, the Scarab skeleton ball carrier (AG 3) was able to dodge consistently out of TZ's for 3 turns to score the TD.
With 3 turns remaining for the Khemri to score, Ashes swarmed forward with skeleton receivers to tie into overtime.
In Turn 8 with 1 reroll left, Ashes started a complicated series of blocks that would leave one receiver free of TZ's for a catch and clear to the end zone without GFI.
Unfortunately, the series of blocks and assist moves did require some GFI, using up the reroll.
The plan failed as the last TZ-clearing blitz fell on his face and Scarab Beatles came through the winner.
To close that story, Ashes and JRB played a post-XFL
just for giggles, with JRB coming out on top but with one less mummy.
Ashes has since gone on to the Unranked pastures of FUMBBL Valhalla.
On to the upcoming KKD vs Kauliniai game, KKD is really hurting being one mummy down.
With only 3 mummies and 110k in the bank, KKD has the choice of:
- buying a fresh mummy (then Kauliniai has 4 mummies + Ramtut)
- buying Ramtut (then neither player has Ramtut and Kauliniai has 4 mummies)
So either way KKD is down one mummy, possibly Ramtut.
Plorg's Pick: Kauliniai by 1
Joined: May 08, 2005

KKD came through and crushed Kauliniai in Round 2.
Kauliniai made the tactically questionable move of putting two mummies on the LoS when kicking off to KKD.
In Plorg's experience, this kind of behavior gets your mummies killed.
This game was no exception. By Turn 2, Kauliniai had 2 mummies in their RIP box no regen.
The rest of the game featured lone skeleton ball carriers scrambling away from melees elsewhere on the field.
Being a slow (usually) dodgeless team, Khemri have difficulty disengaging from combat to chase down things like this.
In a suspicious move,
neither KKD nor Kauliniai hired Ramtut or spent any treasury for this match
As for the final, both KKD and Scarab Beatles have the cash to hire Ramtut.
Scarab Beatles is down one mummy and is outnumbered in skeletons as well.
It will be tough to pull off a win against KKD here.

Whether you love it or hate it, there's no denying that the U.S. edition of Top Gear has one thing going for it and that's resident beard-wearer, Rutledge Wood. Now, it's rumored that today's Nice Price or Crack Pipe
'96 Roadmaster is the Rutster's, so it's got that going for it, but does its price give you wood?
The mighty mighty ZR1, the holy grail of C4 Corvette-dom, faster than pretty much every contemporary contender and with handling to match, if ever there was a car that begged - no, demanded - it be driven, this was the one. Except for yesterday's 1990 25-mile ZR1 which was really quite content to stay inside with its nose buried in some Anne McCaffery book while all the other kids were outside playing. Nerd. They say you have to use it or you will lose it, and with less than a trip to Starbucks and back on its clock, the consensus was that it had lost it, and 77% of you deemed its price to be crackalicious for something so desirable and yet so useless.
Useless, that's also been the consensus of many regarding the American edition of our favorite British car programme, Top Gear. Many have derided Tanner Foust's somewhat wooden delivery, others think Adam Ferrara's personality could grate glass, and the whole series seems to be but a pale reflection of the kippers for brekky original.
There's no denying one advantage that the American version has over the original, and that's Rutledge Wood screaming like a little girl and almost wetting himself anytime they stuff his ample girth into a passenger seat and let Foust do the driving. That's worth the price of admission alone.
But despite all the histrionics and the show's ballooning budget for jumbo Depends, Wood is an avid car nut - just like you and me - just more famous and with douchier hair. And one car that he had a jones for was a 1996 Buick Roadmaster wagon, which he bought earlier this year. Rutledge may have lusted after its Corvette-based LT1 power and Amtrak commuter-like comfort and room, but apparently his wife did not, because he has now put the bad-ass Buick up for sale on Craigslist, and tweeted about it so his wife would see he's serious.
The Buick pushes all the right buttons, which the aforementioned LT1 powering it. But it also comes with a lowered suspension that's been Hotchkis'd on the lips and 17" Eagle alloy wheels. But what really will really give you pokies is the fact that Wood's Roadmonster has wood - that is, it's a woody, not that it has wood like its priatic or anything. That and the eight-passenger seating make this 153K Buick the perfect suburban commando, ready to pick up the kids from soccer and then lay down some rubber on the way to Round Table to celebrate the win
That make you wonder why, as Rutledge is claiming in his twitter feed, his wife is demanding its diappearance like a Mafia Don? Who know's, but her animus is potentially somebody's minor-celebrity owned Roadmaster win. That is, if Wood's price proves nice.
The Roadmaster - which is claimed to have been recently detailed - comes with a $6,500 asking price, as well as the note that over $1,000 has gone into it since its last ownership change. What's your take on Wood's price for his Buick, is his being whipped resulting in a can't miss deal? Or, is that a price that you Wood-not pay?
You decide!
H/T to Bagel Oversteer and Kevin from his Blackberry for the hookup!

The fourth Great Books Discussion will be held Monday, December 15 at 6:30 p.m. on the lower level of the Brown County Library (Central Branch – 515 Pine St., Downtown Green Bay).
Professor Bryan Vescio will lead a discussion of Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter.
Hawthorne's best known novel is set in Puritan New England in 1620. Hester Prynne, a awaiting her husband's arrival from England, has an affair with the Reverend Arthur Dimmesdale. She gives birth to a daughter, but refuses to name the father. Prynne is condemned as an adulterer and forced to wear the letter "A" on her clothing. The novel's themes of adultery, guilt, and shame raise issues of importance in the contemporary world.
The discussions are free and open to the public. Faculty, students, and community members are encouraged to attend. Of course, we encourage you to read the "great book" before attending the discussion, but even if you cannot finish the work, you may find the session enlightening.

Game strategyThe basic strategy of the game is to threaten to double your opponents, by having them catch both discs at the same time. This is typically achieved by throwing the first disc with a high curve and somewhat later throwing the second disc hard and straight. They can escape this situation only with great difficulty.
The first task of successful play is to be able to keep the disc in-bounds. Use high, skip curve flights and aim for the middle of the court. This will prevent the disc from rolling out-of-bounds. Also arrange for one team member to cover the front of the court and the other, the back portion. The back player is also responsible for deciding how the team will try to escape doubling attacks. Good communication between the team members is essential.

Last month, my father asked me why he couldn't open his garage door with an app on his iPhone. Trying not to get too technical, I tried to explain the sort of home infrastructure that would be required and why that might be impractical. "Theoretically Dad," I said, "the machine that opens the garage door would have to somehow be connected to your home network." I felt as though the problem was manageable by someone relatively technical, but I couldn't envision a solution for the less technically inclined. Particularly if it involves the wireless configuration of a device (the machine) that has no console on it.
So now, after visiting Liftmaster at CES 2012, I know why I'm a journalist and others (like the folks at Liftmaster) are the ones making cool things possible; like iPhone controlled garage door openers for mortals. Here in Las Vegas, as can be seen from the embedded video below, at a pre-CES press-only briefing, Liftmaster was showing off a new garage door opener that can be remotely controlled by an iOS device (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch), an Android device, or a BlackBerry
So, how did Liftmaster do it? As can be seen in the embedded video, Liftmaster has done something pretty clever. The garage door opener does in-fact have to be connected to the home network. But instead of trying to find a way to configure the garage door opener for a WiFi connection (or for a hard-wired Ethernet connection), Liftmaster uses a radio transmitter that connects directly to a residential router over hard-wired Ethernet. That transmitter then wirelessly exchanges signals with the garage door opener (which has its own radio). It's not significantly different than the way most visor-mounted garage-door opener remotes work over a wireless frequency. The difference is that the "remote" is mounted to a home router instead of a car's visor.
Then, the Liftmaster app that runs on your smartphone or a tablet communicates directly with that home router-mounted remote. Unlike today's simple visor-mounted remotes that can open a garage door, close the door, or toggle the opener's lights from a short distance, Liftmaster's smartphone and tablet apps can work from anywhere (so long as they have a connection to the Internet) and they can detect the current state of a garage door (whether it is open or closed and how long it has been in either state). According to the company's marketing manager Beth Bjorlo, the app can also be used to toggle house lights on and off.
In addition to supporting iOS, BlackBerry, and Android with custom written apps, there's also a mobile web application that makes it possible to remotely access all the controls through a Web browser. For example, this approach might come in handy if you have a Windows Phone because, on the Windows Phone platform, there isn't an app for that.

As President Obama arrives in Charlotte, N.C., to accept his party's nomination for a second term, the charitable giving community—like so many of the president's early supporters—is ambivalent about his record.
The Chronicle of Philanthropy this week examined his record on key issues that matter to nonprofits and foundations, and found many things to their liking and others that raised hackles.
Obama and his wife, Michelle, gave $172,130 to charity in 2011, or 22% of their adjusted gross income, the report said. The bulk of that money went to the Fisher House Foundation, which gives housing to service members and their families while they are getting medical treatment.
The report noted that the $787 billion economic stimulus law benefited nonprofits in such areas as social services, housing, Head Start and the arts.
During his first term, the president strongly supported and signed into law the Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act, which called for expansion of the AmeriCorps national service program and created a fund to help nonprofits expand effective programs, recruit volunteers and train managers of small nonprofits. But the report noted that "deficit-cutting pressures in Congress have curtailed much of the spending that was envisaged in the legislation."
The president opposed efforts by anti-abortion proponents to curtail federal spending on Planned Parenthood, and he rescinded the so-called Mexico City Policy, which barred nonprofits receiving U.S. government aid from providing abortion services in other countries.
In addition, his health care overhaul found support among many nonprofits and charities, which are helping put it in place, the report said.
The president has proposed flat or increased spending in the 2013 budget on many safety-net programs.
He has also proposed tiny spending increases next year for the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities, and flat spending for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
On the international front, he has supported foreign aid as "the right thing to do," and proposed increased international aid spending of 2% in 2013.
The president also ruffled feathers during his first term. Many charity leaders strongly opposed several proposals to limit the value of the charitable deduction for high-earning households and individuals as a way to cut the budget deficit or pay for jobs programs.
The administration would require earners of more than $1 million to pay at least 30% in taxes, but would not disadvantage those who make large charitable contributions.
Some advocacy groups were up in arms after the White House issued rules limiting the ability of registered lobbyists, including those for nonprofits, to secure administration jobs.

How to make a tetracycline solution
Posted 25 March 2005 - 09:40 AM
Posted 25 March 2005 - 12:56 PM
Do not autoclave...its ready for use....
I am making at 5 mg/mL soln of Tetracycline, and am using EtOH per our most recent Molecular Cloning manual...but I am having trouble getting all of the solid dissolved. Should I be using 70 % ETOH? Any thoughts/suggestions would be appreciated!!

you use that in which it is soluble and stable and will not interfere with your purpose.

I believe the confusion is that two forms of tetracycline are marketed, the compound, and its hydrochloride. Tetracycline is soluble in EtOH, but not water. Tet-HCl is soluble in water. Dissolving Tet-HCl in 50% EtOH is what we like, since it keeps the solution at -20C liquid.
And from my experience Tet-HCL is not as soluble in Ethanol compared to water. Tet-HCL in Absolute EtOH is quite crappy in term of solubility.

I f we make tetracycline stock solution i absolute or 100% ethanol instead of water, dont u think that ethanol is dangerous/killer for E.Coli cells?
Yes i agree that not all tetracyline get dissolved , but i am still using it anyways by giving it a bit vortex.
Please advise.
Posted 12 March 2009 - 08:34 PM
Posted 12 March 2009 - 08:57 PM
The 1000x dilution you do when adding the stock to the medium makes the EtOH in the medium inconsequential.
Thank you very much phage434. I did not know about it that we can do it.
We have got Tet-Hcl and i would like to prepare it your way i.e 50% ethanol so it will remain in liquid form and no freeze thaw.
Posted 25 August 2013 - 10:19 AM
In our lab, we dissolve Tetracycline-HCl in methanol to 10 mg/mL. The solution does not freeze at -20 C, and works well as a 1000x stock for use with E. coli.
(70% ethanol does also dissolve Tet-HCl well, however I've experienced precipitation after freezing the solution).
Posted 25 August 2013 - 05:03 PM
Tet in ethanol, Tet-HCl in MQ as basic rule
I made my stocks of Tet-HCl at 25 mg/mL without problem
Posted 05 September 2013 - 04:29 AM
In my experience, tet will dissolve nicely in EtOH (or EtOH/H2O mixtures) but will eventually precipitate, especially at -20C. We dissolve our tet in DMF at a 1000x stock (25mg/ml). When my former boss told me to use DMF, I thought for sure it would have negative effects on the growth of my e.coli cultures, to the point where I bet him a 6-pack of beer and then did a growth curve of e.coli +/- pure DMF diluted 1:1000 in the media. Turns out I lost the bet- E. coli had no problems with the DMF. Plus the tet is very stable in DMF and doesn't freeze at -20C.

In "Nebraska." Bruce Dern plays the cantankerous and not-so-gracefully-aging Woody Grant, who insists on walking across three states to claim sweepstakes winnings, which his son (played by "Saturday Night Live" alum Will Forte) says don't exist.
"I knew when I saw the script on paper that I had to play the role," Dern told correspondent Lee Cowan. "I don't mean THEY wanted me to have to do it, but Bruce Dern had to find a way to be able to play this role."
Credit: Paramount Vantage
Bruce Dern first met director Alexander Payne (left) when Dern's daughter, Laura Dern. starred in Payne's "Citizen Ruth." Ten years ago, Payne showed him the screenplay for "Nebraska." "He didn't say, 'You're the part.' He said, 'What do you think of it?' And I read it, and it was all on the page. It struck me that it worked. Every character worked, the story worked, it was wonderful.
"And then I didn't hear anything. He went off and did 'Sideways.' And then I didn't hear anything, and he went off and did 'The Descendants.' So I figured, 'Wow, obviously, I must be in the way of helping this get made! (laughs) Eighteen months ago, he actually gave me the role."
Bruce Dern (far left) with his siblings in a family photo.
Bruce MacKleish Dern was born into old money in Winnetka, Illinois, in 1936. His grandfather was the governor of Utah, who later went on to become Secretary of War under FDR. His great-uncle was Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Archibald MacLeish.

Bruce Dern was a competitive runner in high school and college.
When Dern dropped out of the University of Pennsylvania to pursue acting, his family largely disowned him.
"When I decided to become an actor, I was gonna make a living 'pretending,'" he said. "They thought that's what acting was, pretending."
Left: A head shot of Bruce Dern from 1964.
After studying with Lee Strasberg at Actors' Studio, and appearing in Broadway productions of Sean O'Casey's "The Shadow of a Gunman," and Tennessee Williams' "Sweet Bird of Youth," Dern moved to California to pursue an acting career unsustainable in New York theater.

Among Bruce Dern's numerous TV guest roles in the 1960s were the "Outer Limits" episode, "The Zanti Misfits," where he encounters an invading force of alien insects (left). Dern also made several appearances on the western "Gunsmoke."
Dern told Cowan after one of his "embroidered" death scenes, "Gunsmoke" star Jim Arness looked down at him and said, "My God. That's pretty interesting, but who gives a **** about how you die. Just die already! Otherwise we're gonna cut away and you're still alive."
"Well, that's the point," Dern responded. "because then I can come back in another episode!"

Bruce Dern played a scientist who predilection for transplanting extra heads on to living bodies of animals takes its natural progression, in "The Incredible 2-Headed Transplant."
"I had to go out the week I married my wife, Andrea, and sell a movie called 'The Incredible 2-Headed Transplant,'" Dern told Cowan. "And we weren't even the best two-headed transplant movie that year! That was ['The Thing With Two Heads'] with Rosie Greer and Ray Milland!"
Bruce Dern was a familiar face in westerns in the late 1960s and early '70s, including "The War Wagon" opposite John Wayne and Kirk Douglas; "Hang 'Em High" with Clint Eastwood; Will Penny, starring Charlton Heston; and "Support Your Local Sheriff," starring James Garner.
But his most memorable role was in 1972's "The Cowboys" (left), as the dastardly Long Hair.
Long Hair (Bruce Dern) shoots Wil Andersen (John Wayne) in the back in "The Cowboys." Although the Duke had died on-screen a few times (such as by an enemy sniper in "Sands of Iwo Jima"), he had never been shot dead by another actor.
Dern told Cowan that, even today, people still come up to him: "'You killed my buddy!'
"I said, 'Hey, bud, he died of cancer. It was a movie. Can you get over it?' 'We'll never get over it.'"
"No, my definition of a movie star is, A,
someone who dominates a decade above the title, starring in movies; B, someone
who gets money raised because he decides or she decides to do the movie. Well, Bruce is not the first person they've
been going to to get a movie made.
Brucie gets movies when 17 other guys pass on the role and the studio,
or whatever it is, is already invested in a certain amount of money. So they say, 'Okay, well, I'll choose Dern.' Seventeen guys turned down 'Silent Running' before it came to me."
Credit: Universal Pictures
Cowan asked Dern about the difficulty he's faced as an actor: "Didn't that get discouraging? I mean, you've got your parents who don't want you to do it, you've got Lee Strasberg even saying, 'This is gonna be a tough road ahead,' and you just kept plugging. I mean a lot of people would have bailed."
"Well, you keep plugging because you get a chance to do something because you are an individual and you're unique, to be involved with a group of people that just might do something that's never been done," Dern replied.

In his autobiography, "Things I've Said, But Probably Shouldn't Have," Bruce Dern writes that he asked Hitchcock (for whom he'd played a bit part in "Marnie") why he was cast in "Family Plot."
"You know why you're in the picture?" Hitchcock said. "Because you're unpredictable. I know the frame is perfect because I have it in my office. And my setup is perfect, but, within the setup, I have to be entertained. And you're entertaining, Bruce, and you're unpredictable. That's why you're in this film."
In Claude Chabrol's "The Twist," Stephane Audran and Bruce Dern play a couple who partake in affairs with others.

"When the movie came out," Dern
told Cowan, "the difficulty for me was I started getting a lot of
congratulatory stuff for the performance and for the movie, and I never served myself. It's not that I ducked it in 1956, '57; no
one was going anywhere [at that time]. Some Marines went
to Suez, I think, but that was it. But I felt bad about the fact that I hadn't
done that - I'm the grandson of the Secretary of War - and I was being
somebody who had done that."

The fact that recognition for Dern should come so strong after half a century doesn't surprise the actor; famed director Elia Kazan told him so,
"He said, 'When you get out
there, it's gonna take you a long, long time,'" Dern recalled. "'Nobody's
gonna appreciate what you do until you're in your late 60s.' Well, that was
thrilling to hear at 24 years old, you know what I mean?"
"Very prophetic though now,
right?" Lee Cowan said.
"Oh yeah, well, but who knows
that then?"

"Nebraska" co-stars Bruce Dern and June Squibb, who play Woody and Kate Grant.
Dern said being offered the role in "Nebraska" was the opportunity of a lifetime. "Well, so far," he told Cowan. "I'm not stopping, knocking wood, you know? I mean, I got a lot to do that I still want to do as an actor. I mean, I'm 77, but I still look forward to the kinds of roles that [being] in a movie like this let me have an opportunity to have a crack at.
"I mean, yeah, I know there's limited roles for guys my age. For women my age, it's really limited. But in our movie, you look at June [Squibb], you look at Mary Louise [Wilson], you look at Angela McEwan. They're fabulous in the movie, and they're being discovered. They're in a movie that is opening all around America and is getting a certain kind of nice reception, and that was a treat."

Director Quentin Tarantino and actor Bruce Dern pose for a picture at the AFI Gala Screening Tribute to Bruce Dern, at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles, Calif., November 11, 2013.
Tarantino called Dern a "national treasure," because "Bruce Dern is one of the finest and most entertaining examples of great American acting - full of raw vitality, grabbing your attention, never letting go, spontaneous. Always looking for a moment, always looking for an opportunity to do something. Not content with being palsey-walsy with the other actors, he's trying to BEAT them!
"He doesn't need six weeks of rehearsal like the Brits; he shows up on Monday on 'The Big Valley,' he kicks Lee Majors' ass, and he goes home!"

|St. Louis Bail Bondsman
There are three possible bonding locations for bail bonds in St. Louis depending on the nature of the arrest, the nature of the warrant the defendant is being held on, the time of day, and the day of the week you want us to post bond for your loved one.
If you do not know where your loved one is being held we can help you. To help determine where they may be bonded out we will ask questions such as:
St. Louis City Justice CenterOne possible location is the St. Louis City Justice Center which is located at the corner of Tucker and Clark. Bail Bonds may be posted at this location 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Mel Carnahan Court HouseThe second possible location to post a bail bond is the Mel Carnahan Court House. Bonds here must be posted during the normal hours of the court. You can find the court house at the corner of Tucker and Market.
St. Louis County Justice CenterThe last possible location for a bail bond in St. Louis is at the St. Louis County Justice Center which is sometimes called the Buzz Westfall Justice Center. You can find the Justice Center in Downtown Clayton, Missouri. Bonds can be posted here 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
If you are looking to post a bond in the county you may be trying to post it in one of the many municipalities that allow surety bonds. The municipalities include Overland, Brentwood, Creve Coeur, Kirkwood, Eureka, Jennings, Town and Country, Sunset Hills, Chesterfield, and Des Peres. If the city you are looking for is not on this list then your bond is most likely cash only bail bond.
Regardless of where you need a bond posted we have agents standing by 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year to help you determine where your loved one is and the quickest possible way to ensure their release. To reach a St. Louis Bail Bond agent please call (314) 832-2686.
