A friend of mine sagely observed that "no one gets through this life unscathed". As I get to know people I find out that the smiling "I'm fine" response often masks deep and sometimes unimaginable pain. That is why I have such a passion for healthy Christian community. When people feel safe in a community of believers they reveal hurts and fears and doubts. The key word is safe. No gossiping outside the group, no rush to judgment and abundant grace keys that feeling of safety. All of this was prompted by a song from Natalie Grant on the morning stroll with dog friend Hannah. Her song "Perfect People" played on the iPod and I related to the words.
Never let 'em see you when you're breaking
Never let 'em see you when you fall
That's how we live and that's how we try
Tell the world you've got it all together
Never let them see what's underneath
Cover it up with a crooked smile
But it only lasts for a little while
I often quote my friend Bruce McNicol of Truefaced.com. Bruce says "there are no together people…just some people with whiter teeth". His point is well-taken. Through hiddenness and acting you can present the "perfect" and "together" Christian. Much of the time we would be living a lie.
Have you ever done this? You are angry, petty and bitter during the week or even on the way to church. As soon as you walk through the church door you are beaming like a homecoming queen during the parade. We can fool the congregation but we cannot fool the Creator.
The fellowship of believers should be a place where honesty is encouraged. Where shortcomings ought to be accepted. Church should be the place where you can say without fear, "I am struggling, I hurt, I need help." But for some reason the opposite happens far too often. Two people who are really in pain could have this conversation every week in church:
"How are you doing?" (Insincere query… too busy to really care)
"Great, how are you?" (Dishonest reply… perfunctory courtesy question)
"Fantastic, great to see you. (Really dishonest reply… safe dismissal salutation)
Am I advocating dumping our woes on everyone we meet? Of course not. I know that too many have been wounded by unsafe places. That breaks my heart. But there are rooms of grace that exist. Don't give up. Please.
My fear is that we have created a culture where we feel there is something wrong with us if we are hurting. If I am struggling I must be doing something wrong spiritually. Shouldn't God meet this need? What is wrong with me? The fact that God created us with a desire to be in community tells me that part of His plan is for us to be helped by other members of the body of Christ. Natalie Grant tells the truth with this chorus.
There's no such thing as perfect people
There's no such thing as a perfect life
So come as you are, broken and scared
Lift up your heart and be amazed
And be changed by a perfect God
Amen. Perfecting comes only from a perfect God. I cannot do it. Being broken and scared is like spiritual soil prep for the seed of grace to grow.
Yet for years I chose to stay hidden. I believed that if my walk with God was exposed I would be excommunicated from the faith. I was so dry that I feared any spark would set my anger and emotions aflame. Satan convinced me that I would be rejected if I dared to let other see the truth behind the person. Perhaps some would reject me. To be honest I have been wounded at times. But I want to be willing to take a chance to be real. I want to be authentic and see where that takes me. I can't find that authenticity with a painted grin and phony reply. I chose and will choose the risk of community. But, to be honest, I did not take that risk again until I was tired and broken enough to finally trust God and others with me.
What does it look like to allow God access to everything? The next stanza has a pretty good description.
Suddenly it's like a weight is lifted
When you hear the words that you are loved
He knows where you are and where you've been
And you never have to go there again
I think that is exactly what Jesus was taking about when He said his yoke was light and the burden was easy. We have somehow inferred that life would be easy or at least easier if we follow Him. That has not been my journey. I like the way The Message translates this familiar passage.
"Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly." (Matthew 11:29-30, The Message)
So let's review.
- You are forgiven.
- You are loved.
- You have unmerited favor because of Christ.
- You are righteous because of Christ.
- You have power to not "have" to sin.
Trust me. Understanding those things make the yoke several hundred pounds lighter.
Can we trust Jesus enough to drop the perfection ruse? Can we trust him enough to be authentic? Not needy and demanding. Just honest and real in community and, of course, with Him.
Look up the "one another" verses in the Bible. Here is an example from Hebrews (10:24, NIV):
And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
Who lived and died to give new life
To heal our imperfections
So look up and see out let grace be enough
Be changed by a perfect God.
God does the changing. Let Him.

Frame building is something most of today's cyclists take for granted. Just the thought of being able to manufacture your own usable frame isn't feasible to the majority of people. Yet BikeRadar were recently invited to a frame building course at bespoke bike builders Swallow, and were left captivated by the experience and its relative accessibility.
Situated within the wonderful Ironbridge world heritage site in Shropshire, UK, is the workshop of Peter Bird and Robert Wade. With nearly 60 years of combined experience working with bicycles, both men have been offering bespoke steel frames since the early Eighties.
Swallow have never offered a production run of any frame. Instead, their customers are involved in a lengthy and totally individual experience that offers everything an off-the-peg purchase cannot.
We shadowed keen cyclist Blackett Ditchburn. He'd paid for a week-long frame building course with Peter and had set out to build an Italian-inspired, lugged steel racer. It's a bike Blackett intends to ride from Rome to London, and then on to his home in Hambleden, Buckinghamshire.
Both Peter and Robert are keen to let their pupils be as hands-on as possible with the builds, and all students finish up with a frame designed exactly to their requirements. There are limitations, of course – builds are restricted to lugged steel frames, for example – but you're still left with a whole world of choice.
All work is completed with the patient and immmensely experienced Peter, so every cut, bit of filing and braze is given the onceover. You can therefore leave the course knowing your frame has been built to very exacting standards and quality control.
It's important to understand that when a bespoke frame is made, the builders literally start with a blank sheet of paper. It's their time to listen and advise as they work out the customer's exact requirements. In Blackett's case, it was a Columbus tubed road bike using pleasant but not overly ornate lugs.
Take a look at our image gallery and follow Blackett's progress as he goes from a box of tubes and blueprint drawings to a beautiful, near-complete frame within the space of one day.
You too could book yourself into one of Swallow's frame building courses. Five days of tuition will set you back £850, with most builds requiring £200 to £300 in materials. See www.bicycles-by-design.co.uk for more information, and read Blackett's take on his experience here.

Muffin Tin Monday - breakfast
Across the top row: homemade raspberry crumb mini-muffin, banana pop, strawberry.
Bottom row: grapes, plain yogurt with an apricot fruit leather flower, homemade raisin granola mix.
The banana on a popsicle trick is total genius, but alas, I can't take credit for it at all. Alie showed off that bit of brilliance with her MTM post a few weeks ago! Isn't it fantastic?! Way to go, Alie! My girl Paigey-pie was so thrilled with it she bit off the end before I could take the picture!
If you would like to see what other MTM peeps are up to today you can click over to the Muffin Tin Mom site here and check them out! :)

Awesome breakfast tin. Is the raspberry crumb from scratch? Sounds like a delish recipe :)
- May 31, 2010 at 9:48 AM
- Melissa said... [Reply to comment]
Mommyof2girlz - yep! It's made using a recipe for a plain base muffin that you can add whatever fruit you like. The crumb topping is something I add to a lot of stuff we bake. Gives the top a nice texture. :)
I made these up awhile back and have had them in the freezer. They thaw overnight and are just as soft and fresh as could be the next day! My baby was too young to partake when I first made them, but he's been enjoying them with his breakfasts lately. So fun to have another real eater in the house now! :)

Love the banana pop! We have those popsicle bases too so I'm all set. They also work great as corn on the cob holders - I stick a knife in the cob first and then stick the popsicle base in. The girls love it!

Oh, Tricia! That's a great idea for corn-on-the-cob! We have the regular little end handle skewer things for corn, but I'm always afraid the kids are going to stab themselves or poke their eyes out with them. LOL!
Man, who knew popsicle handles could be so versatile? :)

Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 Has a New Trailer? Believe It!
A new trailer, dripping with narrative goodies, has dropped for the upcoming ninja-brawling game, Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3.
Those of you who can get enough of the high-flying, super-charged ninja action of Naruto, mark your calendars for March 5th, 2013. That's when the next iteration of the Ultimate Ninja Storm series will make its debut on North American shores, bringing with it the might of the Jinchuriki (individuals with powerful Tailed Beasts sealed within them), and amazing anime-styled graphics.
The trailer is in Japanese, subbed in English, so this should make you purists happy. It introduces the nine Jinchuriki and shows off some of their fighting moves and transformations, with visuals that impressively look like an anime come to life. There's also the promise of bonuses for the Day 1 Special Editions (which we're guessing means the release copies), in the form of a Goku outfit for Naruto and a nifty trading card.
So look out for the the oncoming ninja storm when it hits on March 5th, 2013. Our friends in Europe will have to wait an agonizing three days for it to be released on March 8th, 2013, but we're sure they can bide their time by watching a few episodes of the anime.

Some Interesting Points About the Google China Situation
Some Interesting Points About the Google China Situation
Google's Decision Could Have Major Implications for Search Industry
Google's situation in China appears to be the biggest story to hit the tech industry in some time, at least in terms of discussion. If you're not up to speed, we covered Google's announcement here. What it boils down to is that Google may shut down its operations in China, where it has been censoring search results. Google is now taking the stance of no longer censoring, and the world is waiting to find out if and how China and Google can resolve the issue.
Share your two cents about the Google China situation.
It has come to light that the attacks against Google that kicked this whole thing off were part of a string of attacks against 33 companies according to iDefense (this is more than the "at least 20" Google suggested). The other companies are all unknown at this point, except Adobe. Wired Threat reports:
A hack attack that targeted Google in December also hit 33 other companies, including financial institutions and defense contractors, and was aimed at stealing source code from the companies, say security researchers at iDefense.
The hackers used a zero-day vulnerability in Adobe Reader to deliver malware to the companies and were in many cases successful at siphoning the source code they sought, according to a statement distributed Tuesday by iDefense, a division of VeriSign. The attack was similar to an attack that targeted other companies last July, the company said.
As Google noted in its announcement, it looks like a goal of the attackers was to access the Gmail accounts of Chinese Human Rights activists. Again, more on the original story here.
The U.S. government is now involved. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton issued the following statement:
We have been briefed by Google on these allegations, which raise very serious concerns and questions. We look to the Chinese government for an explanation. The ability to operate with confidence in cyberspace is critical in a modern society and economy. I will be giving an address next week on the centrality of internet freedom in the 21st century, and we will have further comment on this matter as the facts become clear.
Opinions and speculation are rapidly flying around all over the web. Some feel that Google's move is more of a business decision than really about "not being evil" and ethics. Robert Scoble, who is "torn" on this notion, has an interesting analysis up, in which he talks about "the push and pull of China" based on his travels to the country.
Here are a few other noteworthy reactions from various blogs and news outlets:
Henry Blodget at Silicon Alley Insider:
"Google made the right decision to build a business in China a few years ago. And it's making the right decision now, by threatening to pull out of the country if China doesn't relax its censorship demands. "
"Google's decision to make a big public threat now, when it controls 15%-20% of China's search market and is known to most Chinese Internet users, will put far more pressure on the Chinese government to relax its policies than a boycott of the country five years ago would have."
Google matters in China now.
Note that even Google's cofounder, Sergey Brin, has waffled if not agonized over the company's China policy.
I can well be accused of being a Google fanboy; I wrote the book. But I have been consistent in my criticism of Google's actions in China. And so now I have not choice but to become even more of a fanboy. I applaud Google for finally standing up to the Chinese dictatorship and for free speech.
Will the Chinese people revolt at losing Google? We can only hope. Will other companies now have to hesitate before doing the dictators' bidding? We can only hope. Will Google be punished by Wall Street? It probably will. But as I've argued, we should hope that Google's pledge, Don't be evil, will one day be chiseled over the doors of Wall Street.
Frank Reeding at Marketing Pilgrim:
While the Chinese people are clearly in favor of Baidu as their engine of choice, if Google were to say that they will not do business in China what kind of pressure does that place on other companies to possibly isolate the biggest and fastest developing market in the world? This could get interesting.
"The whole industry will become worse," says Yu Yang, chief executive of Analysys International, a Beijing-based research firm. "As for Baidu, without competition with Google, Baidu has no motivation to innovate."
Stephen E. Arnold at Beyond Search:
"Amidst the furor of the Google – China issue, I noticed that most of the pundits ignored the global disruptive power of a Google decision. I may be one of the few—maybe the only addled goose—pointing out that Google operates like a nation-state, not a garden variety company."
Patrick Chovanec at Seeking Alpha
But in China, nobody issues an ultimatum — especially not to the government — unless they are fully expecting a final and irreconcilable break. As long as you have some hope of a favorable outcome, you bite your tongue. That's precisely why Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter have uttered not a word of complaint, even as a six-month ban on accessing those sites has left their Chinese market share in ruins. Google's decision to publicly throw down the gauntlet — a move sure to be seen by the Chinese government as a virtual declaration of war — is a sign the company has already written off China and is ready to pack its bags.
Philipp Lenssen at Blogoscoped quotes Google lawyer on CNBC:
When CNBC asked Google's David Drummond in an interview, "Can you verify… that the cyber attacks were government based?", David answered: "I want to be very careful here and be very clear. We're not saying, one way or the other, whether these attacks were state-sponsored or done with any approval of the state. We can't speculate on that at this point. What we do know is that they were highly organized, and we believe that the attacker came from China, and we know that political dissidents and people interested in human rights in China were clearly targeted here."
As another speculative reason, Google now fighting for an uncensored Google.cn could have been part of the original plan, too: first, get into the market and find a relevant amount of users; second, potentially use that user base leverage for discussions about free speech issues.
Rebecca MacKinnon at RConversation:
Google's decision was tough and is going to have a great deal of difficult fallout. Still, based on what I know, I think Google has done the right thing. They are sending a very public message – which people in China are hearing – that the Chinese government's approach to Internet regulation is unacceptable and poisonous. They are living up to their "don't be evil" motto – much mocked of late – and living up to their commitments to free speech and privacy as a member of the Global Network Initiative.
The best way to keep up with the most recent commentary may be to follow a query like this on Twitter.
Though there has already been an incredible amount of discussion on this topic, you can pretty well guarantee that it is only the beginning. As more of the story unfolds, it's going to be quite interesting to see how the Google China situation turns out. It is big for the search industry in China, and it is big on a government level. It will also be interesting to see what to what extent the U.S. government gets involved.

Pete Carroll was with the Jets for one season, missing the playoffs. He was with New England for two seasons and made the playoffs only once.
Pete Carroll has a competitive mind and expects his players to compete every day.
Think about this. He spent three seasons with two teams, only making the playoffs once. He's spent three seasons with the Hawks and made the playoffs not once, but twice. Mind you, some of this credit goes to the GM he hired, John Schneider to rebuild the team.
I've heard it said that John Schneider picks out the players he likes, sends their names to Carroll and Carroll makes the final call. Carroll is our executive vice president I believe.
I've been thinking. Why didn't Carroll have this success that he has so far that he could've had in New York and New England? I guess it could be since Carroll is our Executive VP and chose a new GM with the help of our former CEO, Tod Leiweke, who also hired Carroll and Carroll did not hire the GM in New York and New England. Carroll picked the right GM to help create a competitive and a future winning organization.

If you get your own PCB's made when the design files are available, you can just fit the components you want, bridging out the RS485 driver will let you still use the serial channel, but at logic-levels.When I release the files, the PCB artwork will be in a zipfile, just email it to seedstudio, pay the low fee and a few weeks later your very own batch of 10 boards will arrive.There are refinements I want to make for a next version, perhaps a LED on the board and a reset button. I really want to keep to 1206 resistor/cap packages as for home assembly they are quite manageable, and to keep away from the tiny sm footprints as I just cant work with them. I did have to resort to three 0803 components, the xtal caps and a ferrite bead.Perhaps some solder bridges for power and 2nd serial options. I'm trying things to see what I can fit.At this point, I dont have any way to sell these, or even have an idea if people would want them. I made these with my requirements in mind, ie the RS485 port is not a common requirement. I can probably make it optional (bypass the chip) so in that regard its more generally useable.So I'll just keep on with the testing and trying to fit any modifications I can think of (or are suggested)
I was lucky enough to be one of the Goldilocks backers, I cant wait to get mine.Its in a completely different class from my effort. It is a very well engineered board and a huge amount of effort and thought has gone into it to make it one of the most 'serious' Arduino's I have come across, suitable for complex and diverse applications, even using the two CPU's for independent programs and communicating between them.
I just thought of the bits I wanted, crammed them into a small space and figured its worth a try... If its a dud then its not the end of the world. If it all works then happy me.I just like making stuff
I've built up a few boards now for testing purposes, The 22M version is one of them.On digging into the Arduino code for the problem with the delay() times, from what I can see (and I'm not really a software person), it looks like the delay code is only going to produce valid results for 8 or 16Mhz. Anything else will give wrong results. This is a bit of a pain. Its probably fixable but this will involve modifying some core files and I'm not too keen to go down that path, and not really sure how to. 22.1184Mhz is good for accurate baud-rates and loading at 115K, but a non-friendly number for deriving a 1ms counter.I'll live with it for now as its not a show-stopper and everything else seems to be good. 16Mhz is fine and Arduino delays work as expected.
I got a batch of 1284P's from Mouser, + assorted other support components. This will let me make up the basic boards without the extras and have some available if people want one.
I tried codeblocks but it seems to have issues running on my XP virtual machine. Took ages to load and each time I tried to do anything, there was a 20~30 sec delay before anything happened. I'll stick with AvrStudio for now.
I did change the 'board type' for the different frequency builds. I loaded a basic sketch into the different frequency boards and then looked at the disassembly in AVRstudio.There are assumtions made about the clock frequency (either 8 or 16M), which is fair enough I suppose as thats what Arduino's run at. I'm not too bothered about it for now and if it gets to the stage where its a problem then I'll look at (trying) to do something about it.
I do use the basic libraries for Kicad, but each time I make a new component, I add it to my own library so it has grown over time.I looked at going the Eagle way some years back but did not want to get locked into a system that was limited in the 'free' release. Kicad has no restrictions in that sense.Its not as 'seamless' as Eagle, but its quirks are not such a handicap that I cant live with it.I have not experienced the problem that you describe, but the releases are regular so whatever it was may not be there any more.
I think I have arrived at a 2nd build version now.It has more flexible power options. Positions for two regulators on board, a 5V and a 3.3V.With the two power rails on the board, the micro (and RS485 if fitted) can be run at 5V for full speed. The other items all run a 3.3V. The 5V rail can be connected to the 3.3V rail (with no 5V reg fitted) and the whole board run at 3.3V. Also now fitted,A power LEDA LED on one of the I/O pinsA reset buttonThe radio connector is now the cheap nRF version as per ebay (and many other sources)Ground-plane beneath the battery (for the RTC) is fixed and the 32Khz xtal footprint fixed.The PCB is done, I just need to check it over for a few days and see if I spot anything wrong then I'll get a batch made.Its 5mm wider so still well within the 50x50mm PCB area at Seedstudio (and others)Since I'm ordering boards, I'll do a RFM12 adapter that fits onto the radio connector, I use both.If it all works OK then I think that will do for me. I'll release the files and anyone can do what they will with it Schematic now attached (you need to log-in to see it)
I used a ferrite bead because of some comments on the Goldilocks Google design docs page. I thought I'd give it a go. I have always used basic inductors so far but I'm willing to try and see. In my layout it may not make any difference as its hardly set out for optimum analog performance. On the plus side, it uses linear regulators so that will probably help.
I use the 10u caps because I have a stack of them. In the Wiznet forums, good decoupling on the wiznet module seems to be fairly critical. I also wanted to keep to a 1206 footprint and I did not want the package height to be too much, so multiple smaller devices.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) -- The utility that runs the Cooper nuclear power plant in southeast Nebraska must persuade regulators it has improved the way workers respond to problems.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission officials plan to meet on June 26 with the Nebraska Public Power District to discuss the concerns inspectors identified last year.
The NRC says that Cooper's overall performance is acceptable, but regulators to know what NPPD has done to improve the way problems are analyzed and addressed.
NPPD spokesman Mark Becker says the plant's managers are working to correct this issue, but he emphasized that Cooper continues to operate safely.
Cooper is located on the Missouri River about 70 miles south of Omaha.

Wilwood E46 M3 Brakes
Wilwood Engineering has recently introduced a front brake kit for the '99-05 BMW E46 that features the latest in big-brake technology. This track-tested kit will not only provide better street performance, it makes a huge improvement over the original brakes on the track where consistency counts. The kit features Wilwood's forged W6A six-piston calipers that work with the OE master cylinder and ABS functions. The caliper is used with a lightweight two-piece rotor assembly with an aluminum hat and the choice of GT slotted or SRP drilled and slotted rotors. The complete kit comes with the calipers, caliper brackets, rotors, aluminum hats, brake pads and all the necessary hardware required to finish the installation. The calipers are available in red or black powdercoating, so coupled with the rotors. Additionally, custom caliper colors are available by special order for an additional charge. Wilwood performance brake kits are built on years of domination in world motorsports and are engineered for easy bolt-on installation. Wilwood's big-brake kits are designed to meet the high-performance demands of today's tire, wheel and suspension technology.

Forge Motorsport Porsche 996 Intercooler Kit
The alloy artisans at Forge have created a handsome pair of upgraded, all-aluminum intercoolers for all Porsche 996 Turbo models, including the 996 TT and the GT2. The new intercoolers are similar to the OEM units with the exception of being measurably thicker. The units bolt up with the factory brackets as direct replacements. The kit also contains a complete set of motorsport quality silicone hoses for clean plumbing, available in black, blue or red. Thanks to more efficient core construction, Forge intercoolers have seen a dyno-proven increase in cooling efficiency. The Forge units managed a considerable drop in intake temperature of some 75 degrees. The cooler, denser intake charge improves power and torque throughout the rpm range without ECU changes.
The kit includes two replacement intercoolers, full replacement silicone hoses and necessary installation hardware. $2,700
Forge Motorsport
It takes one hand to count the number of great wheel builders; SSR is among that short list. The SSR Professor MS3/MS3R is quite possibly one of the sexiest new designs we've seen in years—classic yet modern, strong yet light. New for spring 2012, the Professor MS3 features three-piece construction and available in widths from 7 to 13.5 inches (stepped lip), 5.5 to 12 inches (reverse lip) and a very large offset range. Standard colors are Titan Silver, Flat Black and Standard Silver.
GAZ Adjustable Shocks for Jaguar XJ-S
The Jaguar XJ-S never had quite the same sporting image as the E-Type that it replaced but reasonable examples are considerably more affordable, and as such, the XJ-S continues to be extensively campaigned in club level motorsport both in the United Kingdom and elsewhere overseas. GAZ can provide race shocks for the XJ-S that are bump and rebound adjustable and can be quickly adjusted by means of an easily accessible single knob on the side of the tube. Although these dampers are built specifically for racing with valving to suit, GAZ can also provide very similar dampers for road and rally use as well. GAZ dampers feature a zinc plated body and durable plastic sleeve that should keep them looking good and working well for long into the future. All units are individually tested before leaving the factory and are covered by a two-year warranty.
Chaotic Connections
Is your economic situation still such that you can't afford that new, shiny part? Tired of playing the same old board games on family game night? Well, for less than the price of a tank of fuel pick up a copy of Chaotic Connections, a brand-new board game that will appeal to gearheads of all ages. Take a road trip across this great country as you try to build roads to connect randomly dealt cities before your opponents connect theirs. And just like any road trip we've ever taken, there are obstacles to overcome: Curve Cards, Road Blocks and Detours may cause a case of board game rage. The basic rules are simple while advanced players can apply strategic maneuvers along the journey, making the game appropriate for players ages 9 and up. Two to six players. $30
Chaotic Connections
034 2.0T Coil Conversion Kit
The ignition systems found on Audi 2.7Ts are problematic. The archaic system of separate ignition control modules (ICM), spark plug boots and individual coil packs is prone to random misfires and inconsistent spark energy. The engineers at 034Motorsport know that even if you can diagnose the problem, parts are expensive, costing upwards of $900, and the technology is still outdated. The 034Motorsport 2.0T FSI coil conversion and plug-and-play ICM delete harness eliminates all of the old tech and updates it with the latest and greatest Audi technology. Harness kit: $325. Six coil adapter brackets and hardware: $120. Six OEM 2.0T FSI coil packs: $120
TechArt 991 Aerodynamics
TechArt has been known for marrying technology and art—hence the name. The new 991 continues with their heritage and lives up to its brand. The new Individualization program for the 2012 Porsche 911 Carrera and Carrera S includes interior and exterior accoutrements and allows for personalization befitting of the Porsche design. Options range from Alcantara or leather interiors and sport steering wheels to forged lightweight alloy wheels and aerodynamic body kits.
Continental Cross Contact LX20
Move over Chris Columbus, a more amazing journey has taken place. A single set of Continental's Cross Contact LX20 tires with EcoPlus Technology traversed 16,000 miles non-stop from Ushuaia, Argentina, to Deadhorse, Alaska, without a single puncture. If that weren't enough, SEMA has awarded them the "Best New Tire and Related Product in 2011" for their innovative low-rolling resistance and fuel-saving features. Whether or not the new Contis deserve a holiday homage, they certainly are worth the investment. The added comfort, steering response and improved braking are just a bonus.

Neuspeed RS207
The Neuspeed RS207 modular design allows owners of medium to large Audi and Volkswagen vehicles to customize the wheel to get the perfect look. Available in 20- and 21-inch diameters the RS207 can be configured in widths ranging from 8.5 to 11.0 inches and step/normal or reverse/straight lip design. To maintain your car's uniqueness and personal style, the wheels are available in Satin Silver, Satin Black and Brilliant Graphite finishes. $1,050
Usually Sideways Aluminum Throttle Body Spacer Plates
The key to maximizing the full potential of methanol injection on a turbocharged engine is to install one injection nozzle right after the intercooler to reduce air intake temps and a second in the intake manifold to reduce the combustion temperatures. The Usually Sideways Rally Team-developed CNC-machined aluminum throttle body spacer plates for Volkswagen and Audi engines makes installing an intake manifold nozzle simple and completely reversible. Price varies by application.

Colgan by Covercraft
In 1960, Bill Colgan had a shop with five employees doing custom auto and boat upholstery. One day a group of engineers brought him a ragged piece of canvas with sewn-in wooden slats, rubber bands and crude hooks. They told him it was a protective cover used by a German OE for road testing new cars and asked him to redesign it. After spending about as much time road testing as sewing, he finalized his design and called it "Steinschlagshutzshulle." Dissected, the word means stone/strike/shield and for short he tagged it "Bra," pioneering a product category that's still going strong over 50 years later. Covercraft acquired Colgan Custom in 2009 and continues the tradition of design and manufacturing excellence Colgan Bra's are known for. Still made in USA using premium Haartz vinyl, new applications and patterns are added weekly.
Gojo Scrubbing Wipes
There have been more times than I care to remember when I've had to channel my inner MacGyver and repair a car in the middle of BF, Nowhere, with a pair of popsicle sticks, a piece of gum and a bit of twine. While these repairs, for the most part, were successful, removing the dirt and grime from my appendages with what I had available in the car wasn't always a proud moment. Individually wrapped or in a bucket container, the Gojo Scrubbing Wipes are pre-moistened and feature dual textured sides to clean all types of gook. Scrubbers on one side remove tough grime and the smooth side quickly absorbs dirt and residue. To prevent dryness and irritation, the Gojo Scrubbing Wipes contain added skin conditioners since just because I work on cars it doesn't mean my hands have to show it.
Qwik Valve
Changing a vehicle's oil can be a messy and hazardous endeavor, and I can't help notice the warning that it's toxic and hazardous and my future children may be born with three eyes. After frequent changes, the newer oil pans are susceptible to stripping the threads on the drain plug, causing a constant dribble. The Fumoto valve replaces the OEM drain plug and provides a nifty yet durable quick-valve to easily drain the oil when needed but not leak in the interim. Plus, there is a nipple connection to hook-up an optional disconnect hose to ensure that no oil or toxic heavy metals seep into your skin and ensure the health of your future offspring. $27 (hose sold separately)
Qwik Valve
GoPoint Technology BT1
GoPoint Technology's BT1 Bluetooth unit allows you to wirelessly connect your car to your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad. It works on all 1996 model year and newer gasoline and diesel vehicles sold in the USA. When used in conjunction with the free goLINK app interface, you have the ability to view and decode vehicle fault codes, reset the pesky check engine light and access real-time vehicle data. $120
GoPoint Technology
aFe 3 Series Sealed Intake
The aFe Stage 2 Sealed Intake for the '07-11 BMW 3 Series 3.0L Non-Turbo engine has 56 percent better flow versus the stock airbox, and its sealed design eliminates radiant heat from entering the intake tract. To maximize flow and increase volumetric efficiency the engineers at aFe added two additional air inlets and designed a molded plastic intake tube with velocity stack adapter to replace the stock intake tube. Cleaning is a breeze—just remove the vacuum-formed ABS carbon-fiber-finish cover and voilá—the 100 percent polyurethane, washable 6-inch conical air filter is readily accessible. $529
Note: Also fits BMW E82/88 128i '07-11 L6-3.0L

For the most part, players with ties to local basketball programs fared well last Thursday, as the Philly NCAA women's league resumed its schedule after the Fourth of July interlude.
Defending champ Kelly Green, which lost one early-season contest but has not dropped another game, had Mount St. Joe alumna Sarah McGorry rebounding well and contributing four points in a 76-64 victory over Royal Blue. The Royal squad has a number of players who are teammates at Division II power Holy Family University, and that familiarity helped them step out to a 17-11 over Kelly Green, whose affiliations are more diverse.
A little more than midway through the first half the Kelly club caught up at 20-all, then they pulled ahead, with a McGorry lay-up giving them a 34-25 advantage with five minutes to go in the period. The halftime count was 46-32, but the Royals rallied in the second half and closed to within four points (55-51) with 11 minutes to go.
This gave Kelly Green a jolt and over the next three minutes they sent the lead back into double digits at 63-53, going on to win by a dozen. Former Girls Inter-Ac star Katie Kuester (Notre Dame) finished with 18 points but the game high of 24 belonged to her colleague Kelly Peterson, a future teammate of Mount St. Joe's Mary Jo Horgan at Lehigh University.
On the same court, Horgan appeared in one of the late games last Thursday, winding up with 11 points as her Cardinal Red team turned a 46-28 halftime lead into a 78-52 win over Lime Green. The Cardinal collected a dozen points from 2010 Chestnut Hill College grad Chant'al Hardy, while the Lime legion (made up of Philadelphia University athletes) was paced by Kristen Blye (12 points) and Taylor Peltzer (11).
On the adjacent court the White team used a halftime buzzer-beater to tie the Teal entourage, 22-22, then White went on to pull out an 85-77 victory.
Germantown Academy grad and current Villanova player Jesse Carey had only scored one point for the White women in the last contest before the July 4 break, but she brought back some fireworks from the holiday and went off for 24 points in Thursday's game. The Teal had to foul to stop the clock towards the end of the game, and Carey canned the final four points of the contest from the free throw line.
Another GA alum, Kris Guynn, normally plays for Teal but was not on hand, although her sister Nikki (Penn Charter '10) was present to play for the Purple team in the third game in the late time slot. She scored six points, and former GA forward Cathy Hebling Peduzzi produced nine points for the Purple platoon, but they had no subs for the contest and were worn down by the Gold, 84-61. Chestnut Hill College junior Lindsay Alexander tossed in four free throws for the winners.

Steven Beakley, board member for the North Blacklands Boll Weevil Eradication Zone, says he wouldn't have made anywhere near the 575 pound per acre yield produced in 2008 had it not been for boll weevil eradication.
"We made a late crop that would not have been possible without eradication," Beakley said from Ellis County, Texas, where he farms with his father Bob.
"It's just amazing what the program did for the crop around here.
"Without it we would have struggled to get 400 pounds per acre. We had no rain until August."
He recalls other years, before eradication, with weather patterns similar to this year. "From 1996 to 1998 we saw a lot of 200, 300, maybe some 400 pound per acre cotton yields under conditions similar to these.
"Our entire crop was on the top," Beakley said. "We had a little bit of bottomland that set early and made some low position cotton. But the fields on hilly land made just a top crop."
The Northern Blacklands zone is in the third full year of eradication and Beakley says progress has been astounding. "We caught less than 5,000 weevils all year."
Average count for 2008 measured only .014 weevils were per trap inspection, compared to 11.47 in 2005. The 4,753 weevil catch this year in the zone represents a significant drop from 2005 with 346,000 captured. Numbers were still fairly high, 320,000, in 2006. "That's a reduction of 99.9 percent," Beakley said.
Weekly capture averages also tell a positive story. During the week with the highest weevil average in 2005, more than 35 weevils were captured per trap. In 2008, the peak was less than .06.
"We sprayed very little in this area in 2008," Beakley said. "A lot of fields near us were never treated."
He said farmers are making more cotton than they were before eradication. "That's the only thing keeping cotton somewhat competitive with other commodities, even with depressed prices. We're making up for some price differential with better yield."
Beakley, who farms on his own and also in partnership with his father on some acreage, said all their acreage is dryland production and includes wheat, corn, cotton and soybeans with sunflowers planned for 2008.
This year will mark his 17th crop.
He's served on the Boll Weevil Eradication Board for the past three years and will be up for re-election in January, when the program is up for referendum to continue.
"I think support will be good,' he said, "following a year like this."
He said problems have been few and relatively minor. "We always run into a few labor problems since we have to compete with an urban labor market. But we've had a good program. The Foundation is doing a good job.
Beakley said serving on the board takes time from his farm responsibilities but is worth the effort.
"I am passionate about boll weevil eradication," he said. "It's worth my time to support this effort."
He encourages qualified voters to support the program again and offers a few points to ponder:
- "Make sure your neighbors and landlords know what is at stake if a majority votes 'no.'"
- Program activities in the zone will cease. Traps will not be placed or checked, and fields will not be sprayed should re-infestation occur.
- With no program in place, the zone will remain under state quarantine. The NBL would be the only cotton production area in the United States not involved in eradication. Re-establishing a program would be difficult and costly.
- The zone's debt will still need to be repaid. An assessment will be made each year until the debt is satisfied.
- To date, the zone has received more than $7.6 million in state and federal cost-share assistance. Without an active eradication program, the NBL would not be eligible for such funds.
Beakley said basic information for the referendum includes:
- Cotton producers in the NBL zone are eligible to vote in January on whether to continue the eradication effort in the zone.
- A simple majority is required to continue the program.
- The assessment for the zone cannot exceed the maximum annual assessment approved in the original referendum.

Wedding Wednesday – What a Disaster!!
5 comments:
I admire your Leap Day leap for the philosophy behind it. Ironically my parents, both sets of grandparents and some of my great-grandparents were all divorced and many remarried, so I haven't put much stock in anniversaries until my own. We were married on 02-02-02 and chose that date on purpose because we felt it meant something to have us come together as a couple on that day. For what it's worth, I think your post will live on as a wonderful reminder of how precious our relationships and our anniversaries are. =) I hope you have a fantastic "4th" anniversary this coming February!ReplyDelete
Thank you so much for your kind words! You picked the *perfect* day to become a couple...just remember it takes work to remain one!! (Well, you know that already...lol) I'm not certain what we'll be doing on our 4th...but I know it will be memorable! ~LReplyDelete

Weekend Box Office Report: Everyone Wins on Thanksgiving
Many Americans found themselves with four days off last week, ostensibly so they could go see their family and eat turkey and celebrate Thanksgiving from the comfort of their homes. Instead, they went to the movies. In fact, this was the biggest Thanksgiving box office of all time. Congratulations, America!
|Per Screen
|The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2
|$43,070,000 (-69.5%)
|$36,000,000 (-12.4)
|$25,020,000 (+18.9)
|Rise of the Guardians
|Life of Pi
|Wreck-It Ralph
|$16,760,000 (-9.8)
|Red Dawn
|$8,600,000 (-2.3)
|Silver Linings Playbook
|$4,623,000 (+943.6)
|$3,875,000 (-4.2)
Let's just start at the top. 'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2' took a steep but expected 69% drop for a weekend total of $43 million. As always, the 'Twilight' films tend to be front-loaded, but they're so powerfully front-loaded that no one cares or notices. With a $226 million gross so far, it'll most likely cross the $300 million mark in a few weeks…unless it suffers a few more devastating drops, but even then, this series has concluded as an unqualified financial success.
'Skyfall' held onto the second place spot with $36 million, pushing its total gross to $221 million, shattering the previous Bond film record by over $50 million. That's huge. Even more huge is the film's minuscule 12% drop, evidence that audiences are responding very positively to the film (as they should, since it's great). Here's a crazy question: if 'Twilight' keeps dropping big and 'Skyfall' keeps its legs, can Bond actually outgross Bella and Edward? We'll see what transpires next week, but right now, it feels like a strong possibility, especially since both are currently neck and neck.
In a week where the number two film was somehow more successful than the number one film, it's only appropriate that the number three film is the most successful of them all! Steven Spielberg's 'Lincoln' didn't drop off from last week's gross: it rose. 18.9%, to be specific. The film added some new theaters this week, but not that many in the grand scheme of things. These numbers were derived entirely from buzz and word of mouth. Not bad for a lengthy, talky (and wonderful) historical epic! With $62 million in the bank, 'Lincoln' is looking at a gross of $100-plus million if it plays its cards right. Like 'Argo' before it, 'Lincoln' is evidence that adults like movies, too.
The fourth place start for 'Rise of the Guardians' is tricky. With $32.6 million over five days, it made significantly less than 'Wreck-It Ralph' and 'Hotel Transylvania' did in their opening weekends. However, let's not label this one a disappointment quite yet. History has shown that kids' movies tend to have legs and audiences may be more inclined to see a holiday-themed movie like this as we go deeper into the Christmas season. 'Rise of the Guardians' still has all of December left to be a hit.
In fifth, place, 'Life of Pi' exceeded expectations and battled past a polarized critical reception to open with $30 million. Not bad for a movie based on an "unadaptable" novel with a strange and difficult to sell premise. However, the strongly mixed opinions the film tends to inspire may spell trouble in the weeks ahead.
In sixth place, 'Wreck-It Ralph' dropped a tiny 9% and made $16 million, bringing its total to $149 million. $200 million seems like it's a long way away, but the film has been performing extremely well from week-to-week.
The final new release of the week, 'Red Dawn' opened better than a shot-years-ago-and-sat-on-a-shelf-for-ages film has any right to do. $22 million over the five-day isn't great, but it's solid and helps everyone save face. Expect it to sink like a stone next week, though.
In eighth place, 'Flight' made $8 million with a $74 million total. As this column has talked about time and time again, Denzel Washington films have legs. $100 million is a longshot, but this is better than a two and a half hour addiction drama has any right to do.
A theatrical expansion pushed Oscar-favorite 'Silver Linings Playbook' into the ninth spot with $4.6 million, which doesn't sound that impressive until you realize that it has the highest per-theater gross of any movie in the top ten. A slow and steady expansion could turn this into a hit, just in time for Awards season.
And finally, we have 'Argo,' in the tenth spot and just about to end its lengthy and highly successful run. With a current gross of $98 million, it'll hit the $100 million mark in a few days and it will quietly slip away…until the Oscar campaign, of course.
Next week will see the release of 'Killing Them Softly' and 'The Collection,' but expect to see another 'Twilight'/'Skyfall'/'Lincoln' showdown.

Students Hosting Special Olympics Tourneyby Gabe Watson '13, The Bachelor • February 7, 2013 Share:
Students across campus will join Sigma Chi this weekend in living humanely as they volunteer their time to running a Special Olympics basketball tournament at Wabash. The tournament is the largest of its kind in the state, and it provides an opportunity for inclusive fun and athleticism.
Members of Sigma Chi are in charge of the logistics for this tournament each year and see the event as a benefit to the campus at large. Victor Wagner '13 was Philanthropy Chair last year and so was in charge of the tournament on Wabash's end.
"Our job is to get all the equipment squared away, organize concessions, seats, and volunteers during the event," he said. The tournament itself is organized by Montgomery County Special Olympics Coordinator Russ Switzer, but Wabash aims to make it run as smoothly as possible.
"The Special Olympics has worked with Sigma Chi for all the events for about the past ten years," Wagner said. Volunteers were slightly short-staffed last year as the tournament took place on Superbowl Sunday, but current Sigma Chi Philanthropy Chair Scott Morrison '14 is confident that this year's tournament will run smoothly.
The tournament's participants include a wide variety of ages and experience levels. This year fifty teams are participating from fifteen counties across the state – from the Chicago area through central and southern Indiana.
"Athletes look forward to this annual event," said Switzer. "Teams have to play two games before sectionals, and they can do that here." Sectional games will then be played at University of Indianapolis, DePauw University, Pike High School, and Logansport.
For some, Wagner says "it allows teams to size up their opponents" for the state tournament. Whatever the team's level, the tournament gives participants a chance to participate in an event they love, and Wabash students have the opportunity to facilitate this love.
This tournament is a unique opportunity to connect Wabash with greater Indiana in addition to its immediate connections with Crawfordsville. "It's a good way to do some concrete philanthropy work that means something to a lot of people," said Morrison. "You can see the kids' faces and see yourself making a difference."
Any students interested in volunteering can still contact Morrison to take part on Sunday. Donating just a couple of hours to the cause or coming out to support the athletes are both great ways to show support. "Volunteers every year see that it's all about attitude, and our athletes have that," said Switzer.
"This is a fantastic partnership between Wabash College and the Special Olympics," said Switzer. "We both gain from this. The athletes have a great attitude, and volunteers get to learn about the Special Olympics."
From the organization that teaches Wabash students to organize large events and practice their mission statement to the athletes who travel from across the state to take part, the tournament is a reminder that attitude can overcome handicaps. Students can learn from the athletes, who come for the love of the game.

Nashville Foundation makes music happen at Honolulu Community CollegeHonolulu Community College

HONOLULU - The Mike Curb Family Foundation recently made a gift of $250,000 through the University of Hawai'i Foundation (UHF) to support the transformation of Honolulu Community College's existing classrooms into state-of-the-art professional recording studios for the Music and Entertainment Learning Experience (MELE) program. In recognition of their gift, Honolulu Community College (HCC) will rename the MELE studios and classrooms the "Mike Curb Music and Entertainment Learning Experience Studios" (Curb MELE Studios).
In 2007, HCC established a partnership with Belmont University's Mike Curb College of Entertainment & Music Business to create a new program, Music and Entertainment Learning Experience (MELE), to foster and promote the business and profession of music in Hawai'i.
"We are excited about the academic affiliation between the University of Hawai'i, Honolulu Community College and the Curb College at Belmont University in Nashville. We are proud to be able to participate in the development of these new studios as a laboratory for the students and further development of the MELE program," said Mike Curb.
"Because of our local music industry's value to Hawai'i and the critical need to develop the production and business skills of talented, local musicians, we were happy at the University of Hawai'i Foundation to introduce the Curb Family Foundation to HCC's MELE program," said UHF President and CEO Donna Vuchinich.
MELE students develop artistic creativity, technical production skills, and entertainment business expertise. As part of the MELE program, through matriculation to Belmont's Curb College in Nashville, Tennessee, MELE students can pursue a bachelor's degree in music business, audio engineering, entertainment industry studies or songwriting, accessing such Belmont alumni as Josh Turner, Brad Paisley and songwriter Ashley Gorley.
"MELE is an innovative program that brings state-of-the-art music industry crafts and skills to Hawai'i to enrich creativity and generate music with local roots, produced at a high level of professional skill, and capable of earning a place in the global 21st-century music business," said Honolulu Community College Chancellor Michael T. Rota.
The vision for MELE came from noted author and Hawai'i historian, Gavan Daws, and Jim Ed Norman, former head of Warner Bros. Records in Nashville and current Big Island resident. Together they worked with then-Chancellor Ramsey Pedersen of HCC and MELE Program Director Keala Chock to form a partnership with the Mike Curb College of Entertainment & Music Business at Belmont University.
Launched with funds from a federal grant, a program start-up budget from the Hawai'i State Legislature, and a grant from the State of Hawai'i Department of Business, Economic Development & Tourism, the MELE program began in fall 2007. In spring 2008, the UH Board of Regents approved two associate degree programs: music business emphasis and audio engineering technology at Honolulu Community College. For more information, go to http://honolulu.hawaii.edu/mele.
"We have a lot of raw musical talent in Hawai'i, and the MELE program will help develop the infrastructure needed to support entertainers and musicians in their careers," said Chock. "MELE aims to bring best practices here, for the benefit of the local music industry overall, and to help generate high-quality music with a Hawai'i 'brand' that can build a presence in the global music business."
The University of Hawai'i Foundation, a nonprofit organization, raises private funds to support the University of Hawai'i System. Our mission is to unite our donors' passions with the University of Hawai'i's aspirations to benefit the people of Hawai'i and beyond. We do this by raising private philanthropic support, managing private investments and nurturing donor and alumni relationships. Please visit www.uhf.hawaii.edu.

Bolts Reassign Downie, Wishart, and Helenius
As the NHL All-Star Break begins, the Tampa Bay Lightning have reassigned prospects Steve Downie and Ty Wishart to the Norfolk Admirals of the AHL, Lightning Executive Vice President and General Manager Brian Lawton announced today. Admirals General Manager Mike Butters also announced today that prospect goaltender Riku Helenius has been reassigned from the Admirals to the ECHL's Mississippi Sea Wolves.
Downie, a 5-foot-10, 192-pound native of Newmarket, Ontario, appeared in four games with the Lightning after being recalled on January 14, scoring one goal and one assist with four penalty minutes. He scored a goal in his 50th career NHL game in last night's 5-3 victory for the Lightning over the Buffalo Sabres. On the season with the Lightning, Downie has two goals and one assist with 20 penalty minutes in 12 games. The 21-year-old has posted eight goals and 16 assists for 24 points in just 18 games for Norfolk this season. He was named an AHL All-Star earlier this month.
Wishart, 6-foot-4, 205 pounds, registered his first NHL point with an assist in last night's 5-3 win for the Lightning over the Sabres. It was his only game with the Lightning after being called up on Tuesday. Wishart has appeared in his first two career NHL games this season with Tampa Bay, registering one assist and an even plus-minus rating. The 20-year-old native of Comox, British Columbia, has played in 36 games with the Admirals this season, recording one goal and three points with a plus-2 rating. Wishart scored his first professional goal on December 19 against Albany.
Helenius, a 6-foot-3, 202-pound goaltender from Palkane, Finland, has appeared in one game with the Admirals this season. He made his AHL debut in relief on January 2 in Worcester, stopping 11 of 12 shots without receiving a decision. In 11 ECHL games this season, Helenius is 4-5-2 with a 3.80 GAA and .896 save percentage. He has gone 1-1-1 in three games with the Sea Wolves, posting a 3.53 GAA and .944 save percentage. The 20-year-old went 3-4-1 in his first eight games of North American professional hockey with the Augusta Lynx this season, recording his first Norfolk American pro win in his North American pro debut, stopping 44 of 46 shots on October 21 at Gwinnett.

Hello,Is there a Caputo dealer in Toronto or GTAThank youj
I just went up there today, but with no success. The store associates there told me that they no longer carry Caputo and haven't carried it for a few months now! Does anyone know where else I can find this in the Toronto area?
Good question. There were two buildings. The one i went into looked like a mini costco super market. Many people were buying everything in bulk. In the alleyway, when facing the direction of the one way arrows, i went in on the left side. It had automatic sliding door.
Hey Matt, thanks for all the help. I arrived there at 4:50 pm, and they were getting ready to close. So i asked the girl at the cash for assistance. She then called someone and inquired to this person, who i assume was the stock boy. After, she told me that they stopped carrying it because it was too expensive and no one was buying it! Cheers, Alan
Yeah, i've been using DiVella for the past little while, but i think there are better flours out there. I really want to try Caputo to see the difference. I'm cooking it on a pizza stone in my home oven, at 550 degF, convection setting.
It sucks that my oven only goes up to 550. I'm tempted to throw a log in there lol. Anyhow, i'm cooking the pizzas for around 4 to 5 minutes with decent results. Very similar to The Standard on College St.

Upcoming Animation on TCM
Sunday, October 21 is still a distance away, but Turner Classic Movies will be devoting their evening block to animation. It starts with the two Fleischer features, Gulliver's Travels and Mr. Bug Goes to Town. That's followed by six UPA cartoons (all available on the Jolly Frolics DVD set). Sundays at midnight, TCM regularly schedules silent films, and for this day they're showing 11 silent cartoons, including The Artist's Dream (an early J.R. Bray), Trip to Mars (with Koko the Clown), Bobby Bumps Goes to School, and Fireman Save My Child (with Mutt and Jeff). The next slot is for foreign films, and their animated example is Lotte Reineger's The Adventures of Prince Achmed.
The schedule can be accessed here, and I'll be reminding everyone as the date approaches.

Do you know if "Mr. Bug" will have original titles?

The UCLA Film and Television Archive actually restored Mr. Bug from the nitrate negs, with original titles and everyone.
I know it's probably unlikely, but if there were ever a venue for that restored print, this would be it.
Oh, and congrats to Tom Stathes. His hard work in discovering and curating long-lost silent film has born great fruit.

^ Bray's first famous cartoon.

Brubaker, I have no idea where TCM's material will be coming from. We can only hope that Mr. Bug is the UCLA restoration, but it could simply be the NTA print.
Thad, I'm getting old. Thanks for the correction, which I've made in the main entry.

I saw that print last year and, yes, it is stunning. It may have been hearing it through a theater sound system but it sounded great too.

I assusmed TCM would be airing the Jolly Frolics once they distributed the DVD, however the two Fleischer films adds to the treasure.
Tom Stathes' silent films should have been on their silent video program on Sunday nights sooner than this. In fact, with every feature they show, they should include a selection by Mr. Stathes. The material is too golden and rare to not distribute on a wider scale.
