"I'D love to continue studying at Meadowbank College but I can't really pay $10,000 for a diploma," said Rebecca Wilson, 19, of Cherrybrook, who is in her first year of a two-year diploma at the TAFE.
She was especially frustrated because Education Minister Adrian Piccoli's changes were introduced after the Universities Admission's Centre cut-off.
Ironically Ms Wilson was accepted into the College of Fine Arts but chose to study at Meadowbank because of the course's strong reputation.
"It cost me $1500 but is now going to cost as much as the COFA course — but I won't come out with a degree and it will be 13 hours a week, instead of the 24 it is now," she said.
The Department of Education and Communities would not divulge its fee structure for 2013, saying only that "the amount of fees and subsidies will be published in 2013".
Its website stated pre-vocational training, skill sets and qualifications from certificate IV to advanced diploma would be subsidised in 2013.
A TAFE spokeswoman said fine arts courses would not.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2006 is relatively forward and seductive, as one expects La Conseillante to be, with a dark ruby/purple-tinged color and a beautifully sweet nose of black raspberries, plums, kirsch, cedar, and licorice. A broad, savory, seductive, full-bodied mouthfeel with superb ripeness, silky tannins, and..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2004 Champoux Vineyard is 44% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Cabernet Franc, 22% Merlot, and 9% Petit Verdot. It spent 21 months in 35% new French oak. Less marked by oak and more complex than the Sorella bottling, it has a splendid bouquet of cedar, tobacco, vanilla, leather, cassis, and black..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The dense purple-colored 2006 boasts an extraordinary perfume of lead pencil shavings, creme de cassis, burning embers, and a sensation that can only be described as like walking through a damp forest on a hot, humid day. Full-bodied, extraordinarily textured, and multidimensional with an..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "he exceptional 2006 Cos d'Estournel is composed of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, and 2% Petit Verdot, 55% of the production was utilized. Revealing superb intensity for a 2006 as well as an inky/blue/purple color, and a sweet bouquet of blue and black fruits, licorice, graphite, and..
Cellar/Tasting Notes The finest Canon since the 1982, the 2009 (75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc) reveals a dense blue/purple color along with a classic nose of chalk dust, blueberries, black raspberries, black currants and a touch of wood smoke. Medium to full-bodied, elegant and loaded with an inner framework of..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Very dense, with layers of cocoa-covered coffee bean, mulled blackberry, smoldering charcoal and fig paste notes, carried in turn by dense but velvety tannins. The long, tar- and loam-fueled finish thumps some serious bass."
Cellar/Tasting Notes The wine has a fabulous nose of incense, burning embers, forest floor, and black cherry liqueur. Fleshy, rich, full-bodied, but not over the top as the minerality and structure move in, this is a super-duper effort, and the greatest second wine made at Haut-Brion since the 1989 Bahans Haut-Brion.
Cellar/Tasting Notes Tiny yields, malolactic in barrel, aging on its lees and no fining or filtration produced an exotic, full-throttle St.-Emilion boasting an explosive nose of blueberry pie, lead pencil shavings, black truffles, camphor, incense and toasty oak. Made in a borderline extreme style, the wine is..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The dark ruby/purple-hued 2009 Pavillon Rouge de Chateau Margaux offers a big, sweet kiss of spring flowers intermixed with blueberries and blackberries, a silky texture, and a dense, concentrated, but seamless mouthfeel.

Survivorship Care Plans May Not Be Cost Effective
The introduction of survivorship care plans for cancer survivors may not be a cost-effective use of scarce health care resources, according to the results of a companion study of a randomized controlled trial.
Cancer Centers Struggle With Cost, Complexity of Measuring Quality
Most community cancer centers are only beginning to measure quality of care and are struggling with the challenge of collecting data while adding services and keeping costs in check, concluded a recent survey by the Association of Community Cancer Centers (ACCC).
The F-Word
Fat. It isn't said in polite company, and doctors never use it with patients because it is considered rude and inflammatory. But fat is now a disease. OK—obesity is a disease. The American Medical Association has proclaimed it as such, and now we are free to discuss it unhindered by rules of etiquette.

I worked at Bemis
Pros – I felt there was great interaction between departments to maintain a cutting edge within the industry. The manufacturing facility in Indiana managed to recover during economic challenges that required substantial downsizing.
Cons – It was very difficult finding opportunities for advancement. Most exempt employees worked very long hours on a regular basis, particularly during the economic hard times.

|Part of a series on the
|Culture of the Central African Republic
Music and performing arts
The 2003 census reported that about 80 percent of the population of the Central African Republic are Christians. It is believed that many of these followers incorporate traditional indigenous elements into their faith practices.[1]
Religious demographyEdit
Roman Catholic and Protestant missions are scattered throughout the territory. Islam is practised primarily in the north. About 31 percent of the population are Protestant, another 19 percent are Roman Catholic, Traditional indigenous beliefs are practised by about 10 percent of the population as a primary or exclusive belief system.[2] Missionary groups within the country include Lutherans, Baptists, Grace Brethren, and Jehovah's Witnesses.
Religious freedomEdit
The constitution (suspended since 2003) provides for freedom of religion while prohibiting certain forms of religious fundamentalism. This prohibition is generally considered to be directed toward Muslim fundamentalists. Christian holidays are celebrated as national holidays. All religious groups must be registered through the Ministry of Interior. The Unification Church has been banned since the mid-1980s. The practise of witchcraft is considered a criminal offense, however, prosecution is generally made only in conjunction with other criminal activity, such as murder.

MADISON, Wis. (WSAU) -- State officials with the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation want to help small businesses have access to big computers.
The state will be offering $250,000 in matching grants to help businesses get access to supercomputers in Milwaukee. Spokesman Mark Maley says it's a service more small businesses are needing. "Business in general are becoming more and more high tech, and if you want to be able to compete in today's business climate and grow and succeed, you need to have the latest technology."
Traditionally, time on those computers is leased from the group that runs the hardware, and companies can pay to have the system run their programming. Maley says they want to let small businesses have that access as well. "This type of program is going to enable businesses that otherwise frankly couldn't afford it have access to new computer capabilities they otherwise would not have received."
Maley add that it's part of an effort to help small businesses get ahead in a high-tech market. "I just think it's really important that Wisconsin look at every way we can to help businesses of all sizes and all industries succeed in technology and this is just one of the ways we're trying to do that."
A special webinar will be hosted on Thursday starting at 10am to explain the program and answer questions on how to sign up.
The program is a partnership with WEDC, Mason Wells and The Milwaukee Institute.

A bulkier case on an iPad might be a problem. Docking the iPad takes some practice to line up the connector just right (probably true of other iPad docks as well).
Sound is very good for a unit so compact.
I was worried about display brightness (I've found some clocks too bright to sleep when they're next to the bed), unnecessarily as it turns out. There are four settings--full, medium, dim, and off--and I can sleep fine on the dim setting. For some reason some actions make the display revert to full brightness, but it's easy enough to dim it again just before I go to bed.
One caveat: Mostly the instructions are clear, but I find the alarm settings a little confusing. When I've set the alarm to play from my iDevice, it has usually worked, but a couple of times it hasn't come on--I think there's some requirement about setting up the iPhone or iPad that isn't clearly spelled out, and which I haven't figured out yet. …

Stunning Sound, Beautiful Finish, Great features!
The sound on this unit simply blew me away!!!! I was expecting a nice alarm clock radio to charge our two iPhones but was not prep The sound on this unit simply blew me away!!!! I was expecting a nice alarm clock radio to charge our two iPhones but was not prepared for the amazing sound that this docking system delivered. I hope to get an iPad soon and the fact that this supports charging and playback from the iPad as well is a definite plus. I'm soooooo excited!
So the sound was the first thing that caught my attention but there were a few other great surprises as well. I was able to dock my iPhone without taking off my phone case which is a huge benefit! The most pleasant surprise though was that when I docked my iPhone, the time was automatically set on the dock. No need to fiddle with the buttons trying to figure out how to set the time, the dock will do it automatically for you.
I would definitely recommend this docking system from Philips as a must buy if looking for a dock for your iPod, iPhone or iPad. This is even more relevant for you if you share the dock with that special someone, as the dual dock and dual alarm functions will come in very handy... …

Great Dock!
I have had the dock for about 2.5 weeks and so far, it is working great. The dock I bought from the apple store did not have an Ip I have had the dock for about 2.5 weeks and so far, it is working great. The dock I bought from the apple store did not have an Ipad 2 bumper (looks like it wasn older batch), but apple was able to put me in contact with someone at philips who sent one to me, which was great! On to the dock itself.
Looks great
Sound is amazing
Docks an iphone and an ipad 2 (though making the connection is a little tricky, but I am getting better at it)
Time sync feature is nice
Remote control
Cons (why I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars):
Price (a little high)
The Ipad 2 dock connection (as I said earlier, a little tricky, but with practice it does get easier).
Overall, I am really happy with the dock and the ability to charge both my devices at once. …

Worst clock ever!

Design is bad (snooze by the off button, come on...), and worst of all, the clock randomly stops working. It will just display the same time forever. The only way to fix it is to adjust the time once, and then it will starting timing again, so that when you adjust it the second time, it will actually take the new time. it conveniently didn't do this until after the warranty was up, so it could not be returned.

Great looks and sound. That's about it, though...
The DC390/05 was given to me as a gift for Christmas2013.
First impressions were great: Solid unit, well-built w/brushed alumi The DC390/05 was given to me as a gift for Christmas2013.
First impressions were great: Solid unit, well-built w/brushed aluminium buttons; sound quality is really good for the price; it's excellent way to de-clutter cables. I was very happy. Then started using it for real - and it doesn't seem to be built for real life!
1. The Snooze button also controls LED brightness, which has 4 modes - bright, normal, dim, off. I like it on dim at night, for obvious reasons. However, when the alarm wakes you up and you hit snooze, the LED cycles to off. Useful.
2. It can't keep the time. On first use, it time-synced with my iPhone 4S no problem. By the end of the next day, when I went to charge iPhone again, the time was 2 minutes out. It lost over 1 minute over 24 hours! Anyway, synced again. iPhone and iPad on charge this time. Woke up next day at what I thought was 930am, only to discover the clock had invented its own time. It was actually 845am. An alarm clock really should be able to keep the time.
3. As others have mentioned, it's a real chore to get the iPad onto the dock - the spring-loaded connector reclines too much / isn't sufficiently upright to allow the iPad to easily slot into place.
4. It's not possible to update firmware. You're stuck with any poor programming. Enjoy!
I wrote to Philips about my issues. They say the product is not repairable, and no newer version exists (although I'm sure I read about a DC390/12 - the 'slash twelve' being the difference - maybe it's a regional thing?). I'm currently waiting to receive a proposal from them.
If this product worked, it would be good. …

So i had a hangover today and decided enough was enough and i was going to give the hardware unlock a go. So i got some Safety Pins from the chemist reasoning the hinge would be perfect to connect a bit of wire to the pin without solder, this worked a treat so no soldering iron. I put some tape over the clips just in case my fingers grounding them fucked it up. The whole processes took about 4 hours as i double checked every step and read through things carefully as i have never done hex edits or worked at all with unix command line, almost all the information needed was there and i filled the gaps and errors with google. No red bull though im afraid as in Scotland Irn-Bru is the drink of choice for a sharp mind and stable hand.
It seems to me if i can do this anyone with a brain and some patience can manage. here is some pics of my ghetto activation. Thanks to everyone who provided the info i will donate to the dev team at the end of the month when i get paid, i really apreciate your hard work.

California, struggling to close a $24.3 billion budget gap, faces the prospect of a "multi-notch" downgrade in its credit rating if the state's legislature fails to act quickly to produce a budget, Moody's Investors Service warned on Friday.
The ratings agency's decision to place California's general obligation debt on alert for such a dramatic possible downgrade stunned state officials. …
The state's current A2 credit rating is Moody's sixth-highest investment grade and makes California the lowest rated of the 50 states. The A2 rating is just five notches above speculative status and Moody's raised the potential for the rating to tumble toward "junk" status. …
A downgrade could push California's borrowing costs up at time when state officials expect to issue up to $9 billion in revenue anticipation notes as soon as possible after a budget agreement is reached — a deal whose timing is in doubt.
Moody's said California's leasing debt and other state-related debt are also on review, affecting a total of $72 billion of debt.
Now comes the CBO with yet more news of the sort that neither Capitol Hill nor the White House is likely to welcome: its freshly released report on the federal government's long-term financial situation. To put it bluntly, the fiscal policy of the United States is unsustainable. Debt is growing faster than gross domestic product. Under the CBO's most realistic scenario, the publicly held debt of the U.S. government will reach 82 percent of GDP by 2019 -- roughly double what it was in 2008. By 2026, spiraling interest payments would push the debt above its all-time peak (set just after World War II) of 113 percent of GDP. It would reach 200 percent of GDP in 2038.
Fortune magazine recently reported that the number of U.S. companies in the world's top 500 fell to the lowest level ever, while more Chinese firms than ever before made the list. Thirty-seven Chinese companies now rank in the top 500, including nine new entries. Meanwhile, the number of U.S. firms has fallen to 140, the lowest total since Fortune began the list in 1995. This is not good.
China also surpassed the U.S. as the world's biggest automaker in the first half of 2009, with June sales soaring 36.5 percent from a year earlier. The Chinese registered 6.1 million car sales for the first half of the year. That way outpaced American sales, which were only 4.8 million. . . .
Here's the clincher: Year-to-date, Dow Jones stocks are off 7 percent, while China stocks are up 71 percent. The world index is up 4 percent. Emerging markets are up 25 percent. They're all beating us. None of this is good.

The WORT 89.9 FM Madison, Wisconsin Area Classical Music Calendar for the Week Beginning June 27, 2013 Prepared by Rich Samuels, Host of "Anything Goes"

Thursday June 27, 7 pm at Tennebohm Park, 115 N. Eau Claire Ave, Madison. The Capitol City Band. Concerts last one hour; bring a lawn chair and a friend for listening comfort Concerts continue each Thursday through August. Friday, June 28, 7:30 pm at the Stoughton Opera House, 381 Main Street, Stoughton. The Bach Dancing and Dynamite Society Presents "Poker Face" (repeated Sunday, June 30. 2:30pm at the Hillside Theater, Taliesin, Spring Green). More information at bachdancinganddynamite.com Poker Face program: Copland Flute Sonata (Transcribed from Violin Sonata) Mozart Piano Concerto #22, E-Flat Major (Transcribed by Hummel for Piano, FLute, Violin and Cello) Brahms Sextet in G Major (Transcribed by Kirchner for Piano Trio) A Poker Face gives no hint of whether you're telling the truth or bluffing. Our musical take involves works written for one instrumental medium that are so artfully transcribed for another, you can't tell they've been transcribed at all. We begin with Aaron Copland's great Flute Sonata, transcribed from his violin sonata. Mozart's Piano Concerto no. 22 is presented in a masterful version for piano, flute, violin, and cello created by Mozart's pupil Hummel. We conclude with one of Brahms's masterpieces, the String Sextet in G Major, arranged by Theodor Kirchner for piano trio. Saturday, June 29, 7:30pm at the Overture Center-Playhouse, 201 State St., Madison (repeated Sunday June 30, 7:30pm at the Hillside Theater, Taliesin, Spring Green. The Bach Dancing and Dynamite Society Presents {Play the Hand You've Been Dealt". More info at: bachdancinganddynamite.org Program: Dick Kattenburg Quartet for Flute, Violin, Cello, and Piano Korngold Suite for Piano Left Hand, 2 Violins and Cello Beethoven Archduke Trio: Sponsored by Norma & Elliott Sober When you Play the Hand You've Been Dealt, you make the most of whatever situation you've been handed. Our musical version features composers who were handed lemons and made lemonade. Dick Kattenburg was Dutch Jew who died in the Holocaust. Despite the terrible hand he was dealt, he composed fantastic music, including the Quartet for flute, violin, cello, and piano. Erich Wolfgang Korngold was commissioned to write a work for pianist Paul Wittgenstein, who had lost his right arm in World War I. The Suite for two violins, cello, and piano left-hand is a thrilling work in which Korngold literally plays the hand he was dealt. Our season concludes with Beethoven's "Archduke" piano trio, one of his greatest creations. The premiere performance of this trio was Beethoven's last appearance as a pianist in public, for deafness soon overtook him. Musicians will include artistic …. more »

A thunderous home crowd. A near-perfect opening game. The stage seemed so perfectly set for a storybook finish for the Nebraska volleyball team that you had to ask if it was too good to be true.
It turned out, it was.
Fifth-seeded Oregon shook off a disastrous start and rallied to beat fourth-seeded Nebraska 15-25, 25-22, 25-18, 25-17 in the NCAA Omaha Regional final at CenturyLink Center. The Ducks move on to the final four for the first time in school history and will play top-seeded Penn State on Thursday in Louisville, Ky.
Nebraska (26-7) rode an early wave in a first set where everything went right, to the delight of a home crowd of 9,382 fans. But as the match wore on, Oregon (29-4) found its bearings powered by senior outside hitter Alaina Bergsma, the regional's outstanding player.
Bergsma, who will be one of the favorites for national player of the year honors next weekend, led all players with 23 kills, hit .429 and added 11 digs.
During a Game 4 timeout, with the Ducks within sight of winning their first regional championship, coach Jim Moore gave a mandate to his setter, Lauren Plum, that the fate of every crucial point would ride on Bergsma's right arm.
"I told Lauren she didn't get to set anybody (else) at the very end," Moore said. "I said 'Set her every single ball.' We've just grown to expect it. We want to distribute the ball and we want to get the ball to everybody because it does make Alaina's life easier."
With Oregon leading 2-1 in sets, Bergsma ensured there would be no decisive fifth game after the Huskers took a 12-11 lead in Game 4. She tied the game with a kill on the next rally, and then added four more kills down the stretch as the Ducks won 10 of 11 rallies to end the match.
"Bergsma may be the best player we've played against all year," Nebraska coach John Cook said.
"I mean, she was the difference in the match. It was like a heavyweight prize fight. We had to go blow-for-blow with her. When she made a big kill, we needed to make a big kill. We weren't able to sustain that."
The Game 4 spurt was the final of a series of runs Oregon was able to put together after taking Nebraska's best shot in Game 1. The Huskers hit .621 in the opener, with 19 kills and just one attack error. Morgan Broekhuis and Meghan Haggerty each had five kills, and Gina Mancuso added four more in Game 1 as Nebraska used an early 9-2 run to blow open the set.
"I think we came out with a lot of energy and we just executed," said Nebraska setter Lauren Cook, who had 46 assists in her final college match. "We did our game plan. We all did what we were supposed to do. We were low-error."
Mancuso had 16 kills and 15 digs in her collegiate finale, and junior opposite hitter Morgan Broekhuis also had 16 kills and hit .406, but Nebraska was unable to sustain the Game 1 momentum.
Moore said the Ducks weren't necessarily nervous to play in the school's first regional final. In fact, Oregon may have lacked urgency, and Game 1 certainly delivered it in time for the Ducks to show their poise in what might have been the match's defining stretch in Game 2.
Moore called time out after Nebraska had three blocks in a 6-1 run to take a 12-11 lead, expecting the need to settle his players' nerves.
"That's where they showed their toughness," Moore said. "I called timeout at 11-9, and they sat down and nobody was going crazy. Nobody was worried. They just sat down and went, 'OK, it's just one at a time, one at a time, one at a time.' That's what they did. They stayed within themselves, except for maybe the beginning of Game 1."
Liz Brenner had two kills and an ace out of the timeout to put the Ducks up 14-12, and Nebraska was never able to recover. Bergsma had seven kills in the game, and the Huskers shot themselves in the foot with six attack errors.
"We had four swings to put Game 2 away and made errors on all four of them," John Cook said. "I think if we had those four swings back and convert those, we might win this match 3-0. Your margin for error is so small. That gave Oregon life and confidence. They took advantage of it and did a great job. We couldn't get it back."
With the ship steadied, Oregon began to impose its will on both ends of the court. The Huskers hit .125 combined in Games 3 and 4 as the Ducks began to get touches on Husker attacks at the net and got the ball to Plum, one of the nation's finest setters, who transitioned them into kills.
As the match wore on, most of the long rallies went Oregon's way. Middle blocker Ariana Williams had 13 kills and Katherine Fischer added 12, hitting a combined .420.
"I would say Oregon is the best offensive team we've played the entire year. Absolutely, hands down," Mancuso said. "They're quick. They're powerful. They run weird sets that aren't normal, but they're good at it."
For Oregon, Saturday marked the highest step in Moore's rebuilding job. Two years ago, the Ducks missed the NCAA tournament and finished seventh in the Pac-12, which then had only 10 teams.
For the Huskers, it marked the end of the careers of a decorated senior class that achieved every goal except earning a berth in the final four. That realization crashed down heavy. Lauren Cook came to the podium still in tears. Mancuso answered questions after lengthy pauses.
The hurt was too fresh to reflect on a four-year stretch where Nebraska won titles in two conferences and slayed every dragon except advancing to college volleyball's biggest stage.
"I think it's just tough to answer right now," Mancuso said. "It's still stinging pretty hard for both of us, and I'm sure the other seniors. The last thing I can say is Nebraska is always going to be a top program, and people are always going to expect greatness here when you're a part of this program, and that's what you'll get."
John Cook, though, offered a proud perspective. This senior class might not have had the raw skills of some vintage Husker teams, but Mancuso, Lauren Cook, Hannah Werth and reserves Paige Hubl and Allison McNeal steered the team past a disappointing finish a year ago and into the regional final for the second time in four years.
Not all stories have a happy ending, but Nebraska's five seniors still wrote a tale worth telling.
"They had done everything possible," the coach said. "I really believe we maxed out, this group. With what we have, we really maxed it out. Probably got about as much out of this team as we could. We're four or five errors away from being in Louisville right now. There's no regrets or second-guessing. I'm not going to lose sleep tonight wondering what else we should have done."

Some job sectors show signs of growth
County study identifies top five sectors in demand for skilled workforce
Although the unemployment rate in the Victor Valley hovers around 14 percent, some industries are showing signs of growth.
The San Bernardino County Workforce Investment Board recently conducted a study to identify top five sectors that are in demand for a skilled workforce.
Inland Empire economist John Husing gave his outlook of the WIB's top sectors.
"These are sectors we need to be training people in," he said. "If you are looking for a career, it gives you a good idea of what sector you should get into."
Manufacturing in San Bernardino County has shown a little tendency to grow, Husing said. But the need for skilled workers will continue as people retire.
"Even if doesn't grow in total, retirees still have to be replaced," Husing said.
California's manufacturing won't see dramatic growth because of the state's stringent regulations, he said.
Transportation and logistics
"If we are looking in the short term, transportation and logistics are our fastest growing sector," Husing said, because it's closely related to exports and imports at the Long Beach and Los Angeles ports.
But it may take a while for the Victor Valley to feel the positive impact because the rest of the Inland Empire still has industrial spaces to fill, especially along the 60 freeway, Husing said.
There is little new home construction going on in the Victor Valley because home prices are still too low for developers to make profits.
Husing said the Victor Valley needs to overcome the mortgage crisis before construction picks up.
"How soon? You can tell me and I can make a lot of money," he said.
Health care
"That sector kept growing during the recession and it will continue growing," Husing said. "We need more health care workers. The population will continue growing."
The Inland Empire is underserved in health care services. There are 39 Inland Empire residents per health care worker, compared to the state average of 29 residents per health care worker, according to Husing.
Energy and utilities
Job growth in this sector comes mostly from construction of solar energy facilities, Husing said.
Once these facilities begin operating, however, employment demand decreases, he said.
The WIB, funded by the federal government, works with local businesses to fund training programs that meet the needs of local companies.
The study, conducted by the ERISS Corporation during first quarter of 2012, surveyed more than 3,000 businesses in the county and cost the WIB a total of $25,000, according to WIB Executive Director Sandy Harmsen.
Employers and job seekers who are interested in WIB programs may call (800) 451-5627 or visit www.csb-win.org.
The WIB recently moved its High Desert office from Hesperia to Victorville. The new office is at 17310 Bear Valley Road, Suite 109.

Elven Spear - Silver
Perhaps the most ancient of arms, the spear was originally used for hunting and fishing prior to its use as a fairly versatile military weapon. The Elven Spear is a long-shafted weapon designed principally for thrusting, although many spears were also capable of slashing blows. A beautiful piece of craftsmanship this classic design has been made to create a nicely formed weapon - ideal for any of your custom characters. Elven Spear fits most standard minifig hands.
Our price: $1.00
Elven Helmet - Silver
The Elven Helmet is as stoic and graceful as the elves themselves. They are not easy to construct, and the finest ones could last for generations. It is no surprise that a certain amount of mystery surrounded both their making and their use. Honestly, we're not quite sure how the Angry DwarfSmith pulled this one off, other than to mention something about Faenor. Perfect for woodland sentries or equipping a column for battle, our Elven Helmet was crafted with side and top plume sockets for a variety of adornments. Pair up with either our Elven Blade or Elven Spear for a far deadlier threat. Fits most standard minifig heads.
Note: Brown Elven Helmets have a small surface stress mark near the upper eye hole. For a reason we can't explain the Brown color magnifies these marks which occur when they pop out of the mold.

Our price: $1.50
Dragon Sword - Silver
If standard issue isn't as beguiling as your Horde demands, try arming them with the BrickForge Dragon Sword. Serrated edges guarantee a painful experience; and don't forget to peep through the openwork holes to catch a glimpse of your opponent's horrifying expressions. Dragon Sword fits most standard minifig hands.
Our price: $1.00
Cutlass - Silver
Our price: $1.00
Crowbar - Silver
Physics at its finest! Minifigs rejoice as there now exists a tool capable of prying open all those scattered brown barrels. The Crowbar is traditionally used as a lever to force apart two objects and features both a flattened end and curved end w/ teeth to pull out pesky hardware. Also great for demolition, inverting car windows and bashing the skulls of a few undead critters. Fits most standard minifig hands.
Our price: $1.00
Commander Crest - Silver
Roman helmets were accustomed to combat rather than parade or ornamentation; but that didn't stop artisans from crafting beautiful crests for the higher-ranking officials. Turn your average everyday Roman soldier into a Legate, Imperator or Cavalry Elite by adding a colorful and regal Commander Crest. Intended to fit our Legionary Helmet this piece has also been designed to fit most other traditional plume sockets.
Our price: $0.01
Market price: $0.50 save 98%
Coilgun - Silver
Coilgun fits most standard minifig hands.
Our price: $1.00
Cleaver - Silver
A large knife that varies in its shape but usually resembles a square-bladed hatchet. In contrast to other kitchen knives, the Cleaver has an especially strong edge meant to withstand repeated blows against meat and bone. The edge does not need to be particularly sharp, because the knife's design, like a hatchet or axe, relies on its weight to cut efficiently. In fact, a "razor-edge" on a Cleaver can be counterproductive unless of course you plan to use it for deviant purposes. Fits most standard minifig hands.
Our price: $0.25
Market price: $1.00 save 75%
Centurion Helmet - Silver
The Centurion Helmet is actually descended from an earlier Greek (Attic) helmet which came into fashion after the original Corinthian fell out of favor. Essentially it was a Chalcidian helmet with no nasal bar, hinged cheek guards and an inverted V-shaped brow plate. It was quite popular in the early Greco-Roman world where it was often ornately decorated and mainly used in ceremony. The reliefs of Trajan's Column support the idea that the Attic helmet survived well into the 1st Century AD to be used by Roman officers such as Tribunes, Legates and Praetorians in similar fashion. Add our Officers Plume for additional flare. Fits most standard minifig heads.
Our price: $1.50
Canteen - Silver
Our price: $0.50
Market price: $1.00 save 50%
Canister Gun - Silver
Depending on the mission, the Canister Gun has the flexibility to launch a multitude of non-lethal rounds. Rubber bullets for suppression, tear gas for riot control, incendiary for halting vehicles and smoke rounds for cover.

Our price: $1.50
Battle Axe - Silver
Whether its cutting wood or hewing stone, axes are a testament to millenia of cutting tool implements. It stands to reason that such devices were naturally recruited for military use. Just like as their utilitarian counterparts, Battle Axes came in an array of shapes, sizes, designs & purpose. Lighter, single-blade axes were used in close melee combat, whereas longer pole axes were intended to stun and dismount cavalry. The BrickForge Battle axe is influenced by the labrys family of double-headed war axes found in many Mediterranean cultures. Battle Axe fits most standard minifig hands.
Our price: $1.00
Arched Pauldrons - Silver
If you're looking to add a bit of malevolence to your suit of armor try on a pair of Arched Pauldrons. The cambered plates and rippled craftsmanship are great for Orcs, Goblins or even Death Knights. BrickForge Pauldrons are compatible with and must connect to either our Neck Armor or Battle Armor pieces for added customization.
BrickForge Pauldrons are packaged & sold in pairs.

Our price: $0.50
Arabian Helmet - Silver
Perhaps the most familiar characteristic of Arabian Helmets is their distinctive conical shape. The design spans thousands of years, originating all the way back from the Assyrian empire down to the more recent Ottoman. Various styles include decorative gilding, embossed ornamentation, finial knobs and boss rivets to attach an aventail or ear guards. In the same fashion that sultans would wrap their turbans around their helmets, the Arabian Helmet connects to the BrickForge Turban so you can assemble your own elite desert fighting force. Fits most standard minifig heads.
Our price: $0.40
Anti-Material Sniper - Silver
The Anti-Material Sniper proves its worthiness as a long range weapons, capable of picking off single targets with a lethal shot. It can be used to neutralize significant threats that would have otherwise proved impossible. Other than serving as an offensive role, the rifle is fondly used as a spotting device: its scope is a very efficient tool for surveillance, reconnaissance and scouting, allowing the user to relay information back to other minifig-mates. Fits most standard minifig hands.
Our price: $1.00
Aluminum Baseball Bat - Silver (red AFOL print)
Thanks to the popularity of baseball and softball the baseball bat has found its way into almost every home in America. The Aluminum Baseball Bat is a smooth metal club used to hit a small white ball in repeated attempts to score more runs than the other team.

The Tumi Tracer® is an exclusive, complimentary program that helps reunite Tumi customers with their lost or stolen items. The core of the program is a unique 20-digit individual product number printed on a special metal plate that is permanently affixed to Tumi products. That number, along with the owners contact information, is entered into our Tracer database when a bag is registered with us, and used to help aid in the recovery of lost or stolen items that are reported to us.
This item has a pocket or compartment that is designed to hold eReaders including the iPad, Kindle and Nook.

Comments about Under Armour Adult Cage IV Batting Gloves:
The UA Cage IV Batting Gloves look and feel good. The only knock is they have no tactified grip. The leather is slick and I find myself after a half dozen swings or so running for the pine tar stick. The palm padding is nice and the fit was just about perfect. Now if UA can only get the right formula for the leather material compound.
