SEGA & Tyco Pocket Power Glo-Bones Skeleton Action Figure, from 1988!
On October 29, 2020 By RyanIn '80s, Action Figures, Halloween, Halloween Countdown, Horror, sega
Before Sega had become a serious competitor to Nintendo in the early '90s with the release of the Sega Mega Drive (Genesis) console and popular mascot Sonic the Hedgehog, it was known for its success within video game arcades worldwide.
Whilst few could deny Sega's contributions to video gaming, it was less known for its contributions to toy aisles, yet in 1988, it manufactured a series of pocket money toys that were about the size of credit card, all distributed by RC toy manufacturers, Tyco.
The line was excellent and featured everything from toy cars, boats, submarines and even tiny toy guns. but without a doubt the highlight of the line was Glo-Bones!
Glo-Bones is a three inch Skeleton action figure that sits inside a black credit card sized frame for easy storage. And he is my current favourite thing, now that I have uncovered him. Please excuse the dog hairs in the subsequent photos, we have a white dog whose hairs are seemingly invisible until I take a photo on a black background, and then they all appear.
I actually bought Glo-Bones last year, and he wasn't cheap (around £35), but I had wanted him for a helluva long time, so I figured he was suitably spooky enough for me to post about on here. I've always loved Skeletal warriors, ever since watching the fantastic stop-motion monsters of Ray Harryhausen in Jason and the Argonauts as a kid, so a Skeleton toy made by one of the legendary video game developers, was something I knew I had to own.
As you probably have eyes, you will already have seen that Glo-Bones comes equipped with an array of weapons and accessories in order for him to be a badass bony barbarian warrior. As he's over thirty years old at this point, his arms aren't the tightest so they do flop a little when you put something in his hands, but you can still get a good pose out of him.
The back of Glo-Bones is fairly flat, just so that he takes up less room, allowing him to fit tightly into the thin black storage frame.
I'm not a huge fan of all the screws holding his bones together, but as he doesn't have a muscular system to do the job for him, I'm willing to overlook it.
Finally, the best part about Glo-Bones is that he lives up to his name–
He glows in the dark! If there's one thing I love just as much as a skeletal, weapon-wielding badass action figure, then it's definitely a glow-in-the-dark toy. Such is the level of great reverence that I have for Glo-Bones, that he now occupies the same special place in my heart that has only ever been attained by such individuals as Rio Blast from MOTU, and Yoda from the Vintage Star Wars line. Neither of them are glow-in-the-dark, but now I'm imagining a glow-in-the-dark vintage Yoda, and I don't think there's anything that I wished existed more now. Sigh.
Anyway, Sega may have done some brilliant video games, but they also knew how to make a damn good action figure once upon a time.
That's all for now!

I had this guy as a kid! I actually had a few of the Tyco Pocket Power toys and they were really quite cool. I didn't usually lose too many pieces to toys but these seemed to be cursed and I lost track of them, probably with the pieces ending up in boxes of odds and ends over time.

18 Highest Net Worth Out-Of-Work Actors
by Dave Solomon
– on Oct 08, 2016
in Celebrity Money
One would think there would be a whole community of retired actors settling down and making way for each successive generation of actors in Los Angeles, given how much the stars make once they break into the big time. Then again, once an actor hits the big time, it is easy to imagine that his or her lifestyle might require a comparably increased budget; meaning, once you are Hollywood royalty, you need to move into an appropriately expensive and expansive castle in the Hills or an overpriced oceanside apartment on the Westside (i.e., Santa Monica), be seen schmoozing with colleagues at the trendier clubs and restaurants, valet park or, sorry, having your driver valet park your Maserati or illegally-tinted Escalade, which also costs money, and now you have a payroll, since you now have employees to keep your expanding lifestyle and head from exploding or falling to pieces.
In general it is difficult to find anybody in Hollywood who has retired for any other reason than that their bodies can no longer sustain their careers or they have had an embarrassing and public cocaine-fueled meltdown and are named Charlie Sheen. This is why many names on this list you will not be familiar with, because their careers started in the 1950s and they have been going strong until they all hit their 70s in the new millennium. The Internet Movie Database and the Internet in general make it very difficult to find actors who have nothing in the works, since now as soon as an idea for a project gets the green light, even if there is no title attached to the project, it gets listed on IMDb.
One interesting thing to note as you inevitably skim this list is how, strangely, the longer an actor has been out of the game, excepting those with projects in development, the higher their net worth--this either belies a change in the nature of the entertainment industry, with the older actors slogging along for decades and building their careers and newer acts are going for the quick cash grab with an overnight viral Netflix series or following the Instagram-celebrity business model, or maybe just that older actors are better financial planners.
Either way, starting at the relative bottom of the barrel with a semi-retired actor worth $20 million; enjoy getting increasingly more envious as you read through this list of actors and actresses who never have to work again, even if some could not find work if they begged.
18 Emilio Estevez
This member of the Sheen dynasty has not been in front of a camera since playing a part in 2010's The Way; after that Emilio Estevez did some voiceover work in 2012 and since that, has been out of the biz. IMDb does say that he is attached to a project called The Public, a movie that is in pre-production with no projected completion date, so the Mighty Ducks franchise star is technically out of work, but still worth a healthy $15 million. It seems this New York-born brother of whoremonger Charlie, has shifted his focus to the producing game, but outside of this mystery project of his, his producing credits dried up in 2010.
Runner up: Carlos "Charlie Sheen" Estevez is worth $125 million and outside of a web-series in 2015 and two movies respectively set to be filming and in post-production by 2017, this Estevez bro has not worked this year (2016).
17 Heather Paige Dubrow (née Kent)
via:www.picsofcelebrities.com
Unlike most reality TV stars, Bronx-born Heather Paige started her career as a legitimate sitcom actress, beginning with a bit part on mid-90s smash hit Married With Children. Long before she became Heather Dubrow and one of The Real Housewives of Orange County, Heather Paige Kent had recurring roles on increasingly more prominent sitcoms, and in 2002 she made her big screen debut with two movies, one of which was only released in Russia, the other called Now You Know opened in US theaters to hardly more fanfare. Since her tenure on Real Housewives ended in 2015, Mrs. Dubrow has not signed-on to any new projects, but she is sitting pretty with a net worth of $20 million.
16 Paul Hogan
The Aussie actor, Paul Hogan, is just as shrewd a businessman as he is a one-trick pony--he independently raised the nearly $9 million budget for the original Crocodile Dundee, giving him a 60% share in any and all profits from ticket sales to merchandising. Lucky for him, this fish out of water story from the 80s was a runaway success, earning $320 million worldwide. At the height of his success, Hogan was worth three quarters of a billion dollars but after the Crocodile Dundee franchise success dried up and a costly divorce, he is now worth only a measly $20 million.
15 Padma Lakshmi
Padma Lakshmi is a producer more than anything else, most known as part-time host and first consulting producer and then executive producer of Top Chef, which stopped airing new episodes in 2013. Given this program won an Emmy and that even without being a chef, Lakshmi's first cookbook titled Easy Exotic won an award, it is no wonder she is still on this list of high earners who stopped earning a while ago. It is actually strange that she is not higher up on this list, after allegedly earning 50k an episode on Top Chef, that she is only worth $20 million. Perhaps her divorce from world-renowned and controversial author Salman Rushdie, knocked her down a socioeconomic peg.
14 Shaun Cassidy
via: imdb.com
Shaun Paul Cassidy had some incredibly big shoes to fill being born to an Academy Award-winning actress and Tony Award-winning actor and some might argue he has filled them quite adequately as a top-charting teen sensation/pop musician already in his high school years and creator of several successful television shows, including American Gothic, Cold Case and Invasion, to name just a few. The multimedia maven's acting career ended nearly 20 years ago but with royalties probably still leaking in from his recording career and his constant presence as a TV producer left him sitting pretty, worth $20 million.
13 Pia Zadora
via:www.hollywoodreporter.com
Pia Zadora has been out of the acting game since 1999, so, many readers might not recognize her name, let alone her face. But, once you look up her picture and her credits listed on IMDb... you still might not know who she is. To break it down for anybody born after 1985: once upon a time, there was a football player named Orenthal J. Simpson. Before this man turned into a murderer, he got bit by the acting bug and among other roles got cast in an absurdist comedy called Naked Gun. People liked Naked Gun so much, in part because O.J. Simpson was in it, it spawned two sequels, the third of which Pia Zadora was in, as herself. The only way it makes sense that she would still be worth $25 million is because of her work on the Leslie Nielsen opus that was the Naked Gun trilogy.
12 Frankie Avalon
Of course, Frankie Avalon had to wrap filming on his first project in a decade this year (2016), but given this movie is still in post-production, Mr. Avalon is for all intents and purposes retired from the entertainment biz. Still worth $30 million, the former trumpeter-turned-silver screen star and current septuagenarian was actually best known for starring in several 1950s and 60s-era beach party movies; you know those films that have come to symbolize a bygone innocent era in entertainment, where bikini-clad babes and dudes in old school swim trunks all knew how to surf and dance and were generally unnaturally happy given the Cold War and civil rights/hippy movements a-brewing at the time Avalon rose to prominence.
11 Nick Cassavetes
10 Meg Ryan
Meg Ryan may have just stopped working this year, but she is still more known to the social media generation these days as the go-to butt of jokes about washed-up actresses who have lost their looks. At a net worth of $45 million though, this "former" star of such classic romance films about modern (or supernatural) love as Sleepless in Seattle, You've Got Mail and City of Angels, this Hollywood mainstay probably finds it easy to ignore the haters. Of course it is her role as half of the title characters in When Harry Met Sally..., across from comedy great Billy Crystal, that solidified her status as Hollywood royalty to previous generations, despite Family Guy writers' obsession with trashing her.
9 Bam Margera
Bam Margera is technically an actor, though most of his gigs have involved somehow risking or sustaining severe physical damage on camera in numerous skate videos, Jackass movies and episodes, and giving the world a not-at-all needed glimpse into his romantic and family life on the reality TV series Viva La Bam and spinoff Bam's Unholy Union. Risking life and limb seem to have been worth it given that the skateboarder and burnout prankster turned successful actor, director and producer, stopped working at least in front of the camera and is still worth $45 million at the moment.
8 Patricia "Patty" Hearst
via:www.biography.com
Not to be confused with the kidnapped heiress turned Stockholm Syndrome poster child, Patricia Hearst and actress whose last turn in front of the camera came in 2006 with an appearance on one episode of runaway cult teen-targeted mystery series, Veronica Mars. Chances are though, it is her roles in several 90s box office hits including Bio-Dome and other cult classics like quirky Edward Furlong-vehicle, Pecker. At sixteen years, Patricia Hearst's career is short by some Hollywood standards, but she chose the right roles because she is still sitting on $45 million ten more years after her career ended.
7 Sally Field
Stop me when you're impressed: Steel Magnolias, Forrest Gump, Brothers and Sisters, The Amazing Spider-Man, ER, Mrs. Doubtfire, Smokey and the Bandit... is literally a small fraction of the roles that this maven of the screen has inhabited and knocked out of the park. In fact, she most likely will not be fit for this list before the year's end, but Sally Field (not Sally Fields as most people raised eating Mrs. Fields brand cookies remember her) played her last big-screen role in 2015 so at the moment, this $55 million actress is unemployed but even without any more acting credits, she has earned her spot in history.
6 Debbie Reynolds
The current generation of actors should be ashamed of themselves and their work ethic given that the actors and actresses of the 1940s and 50s, like Debbie Reynolds, were machines; between, 1950 and 1964, Debbie Reynolds released at least one but usually two or three movies a year and her fifth movie ever, had her cast as the leading lady alongside Gene Kelly in 1952's Singin' in the Rain. From then until last year (2015) Reynolds has continued to work and stay relevant, with a recurring role on sitcom classic Will & Grace and voiceover work on Nickelodeon staple Rugrats, to name a few. No wonder this technically out-of-work actress is still worth $60 million.
5 Roseanne Barr
It would be disingenuous to try to make the claim that the legendary potty-mouthed mom turned comedic genius named Roseanne Barr, is inactive in the entertainment industry given her steady appearances on the late-night talk show and podcast circuit (you can hear her on Marc Maron's WTF Podcast feed as we speak), but she has not acted on camera since a two-episode stint on 2015's Cristela and before that, since doing voiceover work for the most recent animated TMNT series ending in 2014. Whether acting or not, Barr is still relevant as ever and where she lacks in quantity she more than makes up for in the quality of projects she has written, produced, directed or acted in since '88, when she blew on the scene with her groundbreaking sitcom, to earn her $80 million net worth.
4 Andrew Shue
Most known by Gen X-ers as that guy on Melrose Place, Andrew Shue has got his hands in all sorts of pies outside of the entertainment industry and, outside of a web-series he hosts with his mom, he has not appeared in front of a camera, let alone acted, since 2007. Given Melrose Place ended in '98, the fact that Mr. Shue is still worth $100 million means his stint as an amateur league soccer player and his entrepreneurial efforts (he runs several successful websites and blogs including MamasLatinas.com, which sadly is not at all as X-rated as it may sound to some) and non-profit work have quite literally paid off.
3 Victoria Principal
2 Jack Nicholson
Nicholson's last appearance on the silver screen came and went in 2010 but his last notable, laudable performance was as fading gangster Frank Costello alongside Mark Wahlberg, Vera Farmiga and Matt Damon in 2006's The Departed. Since LA Lakers courtside tickets are probably free to this living legend of Hollywood and each of Nicholson's three Academy Awards came with (according to an article by The Independent) an increase in pay grade, just for his roles in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Terms of Endearment and As Good As It Gets, it is no surprise the man has not worked for half a decade and is still worth $400 million.
1 Dina Merrill
Another machine of an actress who is still kicking and earned every cent of her $1.5 billion net worth, Dina Merrill acted in at least two projects (i.e., movies or television shows) during all but two years of her career between 1955 and 2003. Merrill took two years off in the 80s to take over for her father on the board of directors of his investment firm and only stopped her acting completely in recent years (she acted in 2009 but went uncredited) because she allegedly is suffering from advanced-stage Lews disease, a neurological disorder similar to Parkinson's that affects speech and motor control.

AM I GETTING ALL THE NUTRIENTS I NEED?
Carbohydrates – healthy low GI carbohydrates are plentiful in all whole grains such as brown rice, quinoa, millet, oats, wild rice, rye, spelt, barley as well as in beans and vegetables. If you are gluten intolerant you will want to choose gluten free grains such as rice, whole oats, millet, buckwheat and quinoa.
Protein – from plant sources like beans, pulses, lentils and legumes, black beans, chickpeas, pinto beans, butter beans etc. Bean products such as humus, falafel, tempeh and tofu are also good sources of protein. Eating grains together with beans provides a complete source of protein.
Some animal products (from ethical and sustainable sources,) such as fish and seafood, are also good sources of protein.
Vitamins and minerals – using a good variety of ingredients will ensure you get adequate vitamins and minerals. These can be obtained from vegetables, grains, beans, nuts, seeds, fish and fruit.
Fats – good quality oils such as omega oils are present in nuts and seeds, in oily fish. Grains, beans and vegetables all have small amounts of good oils.
Fibre – Whole grains, beans and vegetables are a good source of fibre.
* Clear your cupboards of foods and drinks that are highly refined or processed food and those with additives or refined sugar or lots of salt.
* Stock up with whole grains, beans, lentils and pulses so you can add these to soups, stews and salads. Dried beans and pulses are best but you can use tinned for quickness. (Beans and grains need soaking overnight (or for 8 hours), discarding the soaking water and replacing with fresh before cooking. Always cook beans with a piece of kombu (sea vegetable) to help to soften them, and cook well. ) Choose one or two whole grains (such as millet and/or brown rice) and learn how to cook these so that they are tasty and enjoyable.
*Eat more local and seasonal vegetables and fruit. You could order a weekly, organic vegetable box from a local farm.
*When eating out, don't be afraid to ask about ingredients and specify which ones you do not want. There are many places to eat that now serve vegan and special requirement options.
*Invest in a couple of good macrobiotic cookery books. Have a read through and choose one or two new dishes to cook per week or search on the internet for recipes.
*A few stainless steel pans, a (preferably) wooden cutting board and a sharp vegetable cutting knife are all useful kitchen items. A stainless steel pressure cooker is great for cooking beans and some of the harder grains.
*Take some cooking classes with an experienced teacher so that you can learn the best ways to make the food, and taste the different dishes.
*A Macrobiotic Coach will support and guide you to make healthier choices or, if you have health concerns, you may want to see a Macrobiotic Counsellor who will make recommendations specifically for you.

Discovery in Breach of Contract Cases
By Mahir S. Nisar, P.C.
Levine v. City Med Association, decided by the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department was an interesting case in how civil discovery provisions apply to an action for breach of contract. Discovery, generally, is the ability of either party to a lawsuit to compel the other side to turn over relevant evidence, whether copies of physical documents, deposition of witnesses, records, scientific data, etc. Discovery is a critical phase of any trial as evidence forms a fundamental foundation upon which to build a case or a defense.
Background of the Case
The plaintiff, Mr. Levine was a physician who sold his medical practice to the defendant, and as part of the deal the two parties entered into a contract. This contract provided that Mr. Levine, the plaintiff, would continue working at the practice on behalf of the defendant, in a reduced, part-time capacity. The contract also contained what is known as a "restrictive covenant." This was basically an agreement limiting the plaintiff's ability to compete with the defendant; such agreements are not uncommon when a business is sold, because otherwise the seller of the business, familiar with the area and the customer base, could turn right around and open a competing business. In this case, the covenant included both a time limitation and a geographic limitation on the plaintiff's ability to seek similar employment after leaving the defendant's practice.
In 2010 the plaintiff left defendant's employment and filed a lawsuit for breach of contract. He alleged basically that defendant did not pay him the agreed-upon compensation formalized in the contract. The defendant counterclaimed, alleging that plaintiff had violated the non-compete covenant in the contract. As part of the counterclaim, defendant sought discovery of plaintiff's tax records from 2007 to 2011. Plaintiff refused to turn them over, but the lower court granted the defendant's motion to compel production of these records. Plaintiff then appealed the order to the appellate division, second department.
Motion to Compel
The appellate division first articulated the applicable standard in New York State for discovery and the discovery of tax records in particular. Following general principles present in the Federal Rules of Evidence, New York State has a broad concept of discovery – however discovery is not unlimited. The Supreme Court (confusingly, in New York the lowest level of civil trial court is known as the Supreme Court, with the Appellate Division being the next higher court in succession) possesses a great deal of discretion to grant or refuse discovery. However, tax information in particular requires a "strong showing" that these records are indispensable to the case and cannot be obtained via other methods.
The Appellate division first ruled that since Levine was employed by defendant from 2007 to 2010, records relevant to the defendant's alleged failure to pay are presumably in possession of the defendant, and the tax records are NOT indispensable. The only records that matter are the records after Levine left the defendant in 2010, which shed light on whether or not he breached the contract. Thus the court modified the order to require production of only those tax documents from 2010 and 2011.
Discovery is frequently a tool abused by the other side to go on a fishing expedition or to look for confidential business information to gain a competitive advantage. It is crucial to retain counsel experienced with discovery. Please do not hesitate to contact our office for a consultation.

Description: Motors are used everywhere from simple applications, such as powering a window or fan, to complex operations in hybrid/electric vehicle (EV) systems.
In this seminar you will learn how to effectively gain insight to the precise control of a motor system - from efficiency measurements to the analysis of how the motor controller dynamically responds to speed, torque and position changes.
This information will help you to increase reliability and efficiency of motor control systems staring from the quality of the input power, DC Bus integrity, timing and performance of the power device inverters, to the precise control of power during critical startup and motor load changes.
To help you with these tasks, we will include discussions on tools to analyze the effects of harmonic content, confirming most appropriate isolated voltage probes, integrating current sensors, and, in the presence of PWM inverter signals, assure the highest accuracy of power measurements.

If you're from South Texas, you could probably write this post in your sleep. As such, this isn't for you. Go write letters to Rick Perry or something. For the rest of you though, welcome to the very cheap gluten-free wonderland known as Tex-Mex. Both recipes take a fair amount of time, so if you're looking for something to make fast, you might make the rice a day ahead, or (heaven forfend) use more than one burner at a time, and start both recipes together–or dinner will take two hours. This does imply an actual stove, and something I don't have, which is more than one decent non-stick pan.
I'm cold, and the usual caffeine just isn't cutting it, and I still have to do page numbers, and it's 6:00 p.m. In honor of the person for whom the, ahem, paper, was written, I decided to make hot chocolate with cinnamon and red pepper, like they do in Mexico.
This is the thing about chocolate–lots of manufacturers cut their cocoa powder with wheat. Hershey's does not, so it's good for this recipe.

Pour all the ingredients into the pan. Stir well with the tablespoon. Heat on medium for about thirty minutes, to give the spices time to infuse. Let cool for about another thirty minutes. Count your blessings.
This is particularly good at about midnight on ice.

I'm busy setting up Nginx and as far as I can tell, I need to create 3 server blocks routing each of the 3 subdomains to the apps running on the localhost on different ports. My question is if there are any particular ports that I should use for each of the apps or if it's completely irrelevant?
For instance it'll have to be set up as follows:
example.com:8000
auth.example.com:8001
api.example.com:8002

with an example server block of:
server {
    listen 80;
    server_name api.example.com;

    location / {
        proxy_pass: http://127.0.0.1:8002;
    }
}

Any conventions or recommended ways to set this up? Thanks in advance.

A: Anything over 1024 should be fine so long as they're unique to your project

A: There is no any particular ports for this purposes. But you can use unix socket files if you want additional isolation.
Configuration example for auth socket:
...
location / {
    proxy_pass http://unix:/var/app-name/auth.socket:/;
}
...

Don't forget to grant write permissions for web server's group.

Acxiom Leader: Successful Companies Must Forge Smart Alliances
Posted February 27, 2001	By eCRMGuide.com Staff Feedback
Charles D. Morgan says the "right combination of technologies is necessary to achieve true focus on customers."
PALM SPRINGS, CA--Charles D. Morgan, Company Leader for Acxiom Corporation, says that constantly changing technology and the growing global landscape means successful companies must select the right partners and alliances to help achieve a true customer-centric enterprise.
Speaking at the opening of Connections 2001 executive symposium, Morgan said the key to achieving long-term strategic goals is an effective collaboration by companies offering complementary technologies that lead to one thing - superior Customer Relationship Management (CRM). The customer must be at the focus of all activities throughout the enterprise, Morgan said.
The "holy grail" of CRM is the ability of even the most sprawling enterprises to recognize customers in real time on a personal level, and then to leverage that information to provide the kind of services customers demand, according to Morgan. And that depends on the right combination of technologies.
"It's not enough for the CRM vision to live in the corporate office, or in the marketing department," Morgan said. "The concept, and the technology that turns theory into reality, must spread to every level of the organization. Decisions have to be made in the trenches."
Acxiom, a Customer Data Integration (CDI) and customer recognition infrastructure solutions provider, says Connections 2001 is a three-day executive symposium designed to bring together international thought leaders to discuss topics relevant to today's business challenges. It says more than a dozen guest speakers will present their perspectives on subjects ranging from CRM to understanding and respecting consumer privacy preferences. Acxiom was joined by Compaq, Keane Consulting, USAData, Protagona, Unica and Computer Associates in sponsoring the event.
Acxiom says it has formed strategic alliances with a number of partners to deploy AbiliTec, Acxiom's CDI software powered by patented Acxiom technology, that helps enterprises create a single, complete and accurate view of its customers.
"In the past, when most people considered the 'single view of the customer,' they envisioned a snapshot at a single point in time - the present," Morgan said. "When people move, when they change their names, it's hard to keep up with them. This can create serious consequences when companies pursue younger elements within the prospect universe - the upwardly mobile segment with growing salaries and discretionary income. These people often are undergoing high numbers of life changes - physically moving, getting married, starting families."
Acxiom and its strategic partners say they are creating those systems to follow this customer continuum. "That's the holy grail - not simply being able to recognize single customers, but to stay in touch with them and anticipate what services they need," said Morgan. "And that's why our strategic alliances initiative is so important - for us and for our partners, and for those clients we serve."
Morgan said that alliances are so critical to the success of CRM that Acxiom has begun a new strategic alliances initiative.
"Acxiom is creating a new operating division to focus entirely on our partner relationships," Morgan said. "We are a technology company, and our technology is at the heart of every solution we provide. But if we simply sell you technology, we haven't done our job. We work hard to build true partnerships with our clients - together we identify the business opportunities and challenges, form the strategies, and implement the programs to achieve those goals."
"That pattern has proven particularly relevant with AbiliTec," Morgan continued. "We are thrilled with the progress we made before we announced the new division - joining forces with some of the most important technology companies in the world to integrate AbiliTec into their CRM solutions. And with more resources now co
