Non-communicable Diseases (NCDs) are responsible for 8 million deaths in the world's poorest billion. NCDs - cancer, cardiovascular disease, chronic respiratory disease and diabetes - are no longer diseases of the wealthy. These were among some of the key messages from the speakers at this week's event co -organised by the NCD Alliance1 and Partners in Health, running from March 2-3 in Boston, MA.
"The Long Tail of Global Health Equity: Tackling the Endemic Non-Communicable Diseases of the Bottom Billion," directed attention toward non-communicable diseases among the world's billion poorest people in advance of a United Nations high-level meeting on NCDs in September 2011, and took first steps in developing an agenda for addressing NCDs among the world's poorest. Many of the billion poorest people have little or no access to NCD prevention, diagnosis and treatment. These diseases are resulting in premature death, intense suffering and catastrophic expenditure that pitch entire families into destitution.
Gene Bukhman, Physician, Partners in Health remarked on a noticeable increase in NCDs in low income countries "In communities where Partners in Health has been providing comprehensive, community-based care for many years, we no longer see large numbers of patients coming to the hospital suffering from HIV, tuberculosis, and other infectious diseases," he adds. "Instead, our wards are increasingly filled with patients requiring treatment for NCDs."
Calling for international support for the world's poorest people, Jean Claude Mbanya, President of the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) said "this is the time to send a loud and simple message to the Heads of State and Governments who will attend the UN Summit on NCDs. NCDs are a poverty issue and they are undermining development gains to date. We have solutions; every country can and must do something now to alleviate the burden of premature death and suffering".
This conference is an important step in breaking the myths that surround NCDs, and demonstrates that the growing NCD epidemic should clearly be a top priority for developing country governments and development agencies.
1. An informal alliance of four international federations (International Diabetes Federation, Union for International Cancer Control, International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease, World Heart Federation) representing the four main NCDs outlined in the World Health Organization's 2008-2013 Action Plan for NCDs – cardiovascular disease, cancer , chronic respiratory disease and diabetes. These conditions share common risk factors (including tobacco use, physical inactivity and unhealthy diets) and also share common solutions, which provide a mutual platform for collaboration and joint advocacy.

Rome today is one of the most important tourist destinations of the world, due to the incalculable immensity of its archaeological and artistic treasures, as well as for the charm of its unique traditions, the beauty of its panoramic views, and the majesty of its magnificent "villas" (parks). Among the most significant resources are the many museums – (Musei Capitolini, the Vatican Museums, Galleria Borghese, including those dedicated to modern and contemporary art and great many others) – aqueducts, fountains, churches, palaces, historical buildings, the monuments and ruins of the Roman Forum, and the Catacombs. Rome is the 3rd most visited city in the EU, after London and Paris, and receives an average of 7–10 million tourists a year, which sometimes doubles on holy years. The Colosseum (4 million tourists) and the Vatican Museums (4.2 million tourists) are the 39th and 37th (respectively) most visited places in the world, according to a recent study.
Rome is a major archaeological hub, and one of the world's main centres of archaeological research. There are numerous cultural and research institutes located in the city, such as the American Academy in Rome, and The Swedish Institute at Rome, to name a few. Rome contains numerous ancient sites, including the Forum Romanum, Trajan's Market, Trajan's Forum the Colosseum, and the Pantheon, to name but a few. The Colosseum, arguably one of Rome's most iconic archaeological sites, is regarded as a wonder of the world.

Reviews of this property
We had a great time here in our apartment. It was clean, spacious, the beds slept wonderfully, supermarket and metro station within 5 minutes walking distance. Then there is what went wrong with the electricity Sandro has helped us very well, if you need him, he is immediately ready for you. The only downside is that the building is very noisy, one night we awake from the neighbor's snoring, so bring earplugs. But I would definitely apartment to my friends. We had a really nice stay in the appartment. It was clean, spacious, we slept really good in comfy beds. The supermarket and metro station are just 5 minutes away. Sandro was really helpful When something went wrong with the electricity, it's all there for you When you need him. Only negative point is the building That's a bit noisy, one night we could not sleep Because Of The snoring neighbor, so bring your earplugs! I would definitely recommend this apartment.
Wij hebben het erg naar onze zin gehad in het appartement. Het was schoon, ruim, de bedden sliepen heerlijk, supermarkt en metrostation op 5 minuten loopafstand.
Toen er wat misging met de elektra heeft Sandro ons heel goed geholpen, als je hem nodig hebt staat hij direct voor je klaar.
Het enige nadeel is dat het pand erg gehorig is, één nacht hebben we wakker gelegen van het gesnurk van de buurman, dus neem oordopjes mee. Maar ik zou dit appartement zeker aan mijn vrienden aanraden.

Nice appartment out of touristic circus, closer to Authentic italian living. Warm welcome from Sandro son, close to the subway and rapid access to the main touristic places. Tres bon sejour, appartement tranquille, authentique et bon accueil. Recommende
Nice apartment, very spacious for 2 people. Great location, close to the metro station and Tuscolano.
Fijn appartement, zeer ruim voor 2 personen. Prima locatie: vlakbij de metro en bij station Tuscolano.
We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Sandro is very attentive and helpful - he even drove us to the train station with our suitcases! In the apartment, we immediately felt at ease, because everything what you need. The connection with the metro (station around the corner) to all sights of the city's best. Highly Recommended to surpass price / performance ratio barely. Thanks Sandro! Ciao
Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Sandro ist sehr aufmerksam und hilfsbereit - er hat uns sogar mit unseren Koffern zum Bahnhof gefahren! In der Wohnung haben wir uns sofort wohl gefühlt, alles da was man braucht. Die Verbindung mit der Metro (Station um die Ecke) zu allen Sehens-würdigkeiten der Stadt ist top. Absolut empfehlenswert, Preis/Leistungs-verhältnis kaum zu überbieten. Danke Sandro! Ciao

Just found the 12" Death Star Droid at TRU in Santa Rosa, CA. Guess I missed out on Han and Death Star Trooper. 1 out of 3 isn't bad.

Just found the 12" Death Star Droid at TRU in Santa Rosa, CA. Guess I missed out on Han and Death Star Trooper. 1 out of 3 isn't bad.
Let me know when you've spotted the tie interceptor up there in the great North Bay with your redwood trees and all.
I'll do the same if I see the interceptor over here in the East Bay with my dead oak and incendiary eucalyptus trees.
The TIE Interceptor has been spotted at TRU in Santa Rosa, CA. I have not seen it myself but my good friend JediBear scored one yesterday.
Same goes for Hayward TRU as of today.
Nothing new at the Emeryville TRU. Must be coming though, the scalpers are beginning to circle like sharks with blood in the water.
Looks like I'll have to start hitting Target at opening again with Shmi/Obi Wan starting to be found in a couple of places back east. I hate going in the morning, as my work commute slows substantially at 8:00 versus leaving for work at 7:30.
Got the tie interceptor today from the Hayward TRU.
Now, for the Shmi and new Obi
At the ElCerrito Target. Also, last thursday I found the 12" Han Solo, Death Star Droid, and Death Star Trooper. Forgot to mention it because I don't generally collect the 12".
Well on this horrific day for America I managed to score quite well for Star Wars.
Found the TIE Interceptor and 12" Death Star Trooper at TRU (they also had Death Star Droid and Han Stormtrooper) and then found Shmi, Luke/X-Wing, Han/Death Star, Vader/Wrath and Obi-Wan/JT Gear at Target. All in Santa Rosa/Rohnert Park CA.
Well (sigh), like everyone else, I am not finding anything. But then, I am caught up with what has theoretically been released (through the Shmi and EW Vader waves). I was lucky enough to cobble together these waves, but have not seen signs of them since.
Is it just me, or does it seem like stores and shoppers are ** hum after our national trajedy? I am seeing few shoppers and fewer items moving on or off the shelves.

I'm just calling headache.
I'm just calling headache.
I would guess that in some small entries the trial giving club is glad to have any O/H.
I've seen it and wondered about it too. Other than being eligible to run a dog in an O/H stake, is there any other reason for a pro to co own a dog? Of course other than just wanting to for all the reasons we all own dogs.
John Lash
"If you run Field Trials, you learn to swallow your disappointment quickly."
"Field trials are not a game for good dogs. They're for great dogs with great training." E. Graham
Those who are interssted in running FT's should work hard, and pay your dues at "real " qualifying stakes, and not bemoan a young dog pro for trying to ply his or her trade.
"i guess the old saying 'those of us that think we know everything annoy those of you that does' " --bobbyb 9/13/06
"A Good Dog is a Good Dog"
Would you REALLY want a trainer that doesn't have his own dogs? Not saying he would necessarily have one on the truck at all times, dogs get old/injured or too young/not ready to run.
What would you say about a FT trainer that put his dog with another FT trainer to not "conflict"? I would think people would say why send my dog there if he doesn't train his own...which would be a direct contradiction to the "shouldn't have one on his truck". You can't make everybody happy.

It's been fun these past few weeks to watch President Obama and the Democrats twist and squirm over the issue of Guantanamo. After spending years scoring cheap political points at the Bush administration's expense, they are now finding that it's not so easy to close the detention facility after all. But in spite of all his loose campaign talk, President Obama is coming out in a pretty sensible place on the issue of terrorist detentions, and Republicans would be well-advised to support him instead of continuing their sniping.
In his speech at the National Archives, he said: "Rather than keep us safer, the prison at Guantanamo has weakened American national security. It is a rallying cry for our enemies. It sets back the willingness of our allies to work with us in fighting an enemy that operates in scores of countries. By any measure, the costs of keeping it open far exceed the complications involved in closing it."
That's more or less the position that Sen. John McCain espoused during the campaign and one that I (having served as a McCain foreign-policy adviser) reluctantly came to agree with after having initially defended Gitmo's necessity. In the end, I think the facility is a strategic-communications liability even if most of the charges made against it are fictitious. No, it wasn't a place where innocent Muslims were routinely tortured. But, true or not, such charges are believed by all too many people around the world and, as Obama said, that hurts American security.

Well, seeing as I can't post articles here yet, I guess I'll have to post my opinions on the open source arrogance matter here.
It seems really strange that the conversation has been curved from a disscussion about arrogance in open source to more of an arguement over "who's the better innovator". I'm not sure what the purpose of the boasting war is, but bickering about it doesn't help the discussion about the issue at hand.
I have been working with both M$ and open source software over the past 8 years. While most of my development experience has been on the Microsoft side, I have managed to dive into some open source projects over the past couple years. I tend to take more of a silent role in the community as it has been more interesting to observe the actions of others than to get heavily involved.
Anyways, my point here is my experiences with open source software have lead me to both good times and bad times. Some of these bad times have been the direct result of arrogance over software projects in general. I think that the whole software industry has a whole "arrogance" thing going when it comes to who they don't want to work with and why they won't work with them. But then again, if it wasn't for arrogance, nobody would make any money, right? :)
I was reading an article the other day on Business 2.0 (The Penguin Takes Flight - http://www.business2.com/articles/mag/0,1640,45454,00.html) and reading this discussion reminded me of the work on the Mono project. Here is a place where all arrogance has been put aside to help bring a technology to the open source world that will allow users to bring more applications to a wide variety of different platforms. Now I know that there are a lot of the people in the open source world who think anything that has to do with Microsoft is like dealing with the devil. I can't say my experiences with Microsoft products have been all good, but I can't say they have been all bad either.
I think the open source world is making steps towards moving past the "geek" world and moving towards doing what has to be done to provide consumers with innovative technology at a price they can afford. With the recent surge of Linux distribution providers working towards bringing Linux to the corporate desktop, these projects are putting all of the past behind them to help consumers enjoy the experience of their software. Look at the decision RedHat made to make both their KDE and their Gnome desktops behave the same. There was a lot of controversy over whether this move was a good move on their part. They went against the views of the open source GUI groups (which could have been perceived as arrogant views) and did what they had to do to help bring the desktop to the corporate user.
Is there arrogance in the open source world? Yes, there certainly is. There is arrogance all over the software world. The main thing that needs to be remembered that the software industry in general needs to keep an open mind and determine whether what their doing is right for their project or whether their decision is hindering the progress of software.
And that's my two cents worth...

After unearthing a Baldwin-era FilterTron pickup with incredible tonal properties, Gretsch decided to deconstruct the pickup and reproduce the sound for their Electromatic Hollow Body Guitars, giving them a burst of new energy and sound.The G5420T from Gretsch is a single-cutaway hollow bodied electric guitar, which uses a traditional soundpost to transfer sound from the top to the back, in the same way as a violin or cello would do. This completely changes the acoustic properties of the guitar creating a balanced and powerful tone.Attention to detail such as bound sound holes and fingerboard, silver plexi pickguard, and a bound front and back to the body will really make you stand out. The Bigsby-licensed B60 vibrato system completes the look and the playability of this fantastic guitar.

Messy vandals strike Janesville concession stands
Power tools stolen in multiple burglaries throughout city
Police said the search is on for people who vandalized nearly a dozen concession stands in area parks.
In some cases the criminals are breaking in to trash the place.
Now that football and baseball games are done for the season, concession stand buildings are vacant. Police said that creates a sense of urgency to catch the culprits.
"There are games going on here from April to October," said Aaron Ellis, VP of Janesville Youth Baseball. Janesville's baseball diamonds are silent now that fall has settled in.
But David Ellis, chief groundskeeper at the youth baseball fields, is concerned vandals may strike again.
"[There was] ketchup and relish and popcorn seeds splattered all over the walls, all over the coolers, all over the floor," David Ellis said. He said both the boys and girls concession stands were hit and it was frustrating cleaning up the mess.
"The sad part is we had already shut the water off and drained the water for the whole building, so I had to bring water from home to clean everything up and mop the floors," the groundskeeper added.
Janesville police said during the last three to four months, concession stands all over the city have been hit, including Dawson Field south of downtown.
Lt. Keith Lawver said power tools are among some of the items that have been stolen. Investigators believe all of the burglaries and vandalism cases are related.
"We're definitely keeping our eyes open in the parks (using) extra patrols as well as asking folks to pass on any information they get that they think would be helpful for us," Lawver said.
About 750 area youth ages 8 to 16 use the sports complex out on Wuthering Hills Drive.
Aaron Ellis said he's disappointed the organization has had to spend around $1,000 replacing locks at the burglarized buildings.
"We're a volunteer organization, we raise our own money through fundraisers," Aaron Ellis said. "It's sad when we have to put our money for things like that when we could be using it for the kids that play out here in our program."
Anyone with information is asked to call Janesville Area Crime Stoppers at 608-756-3636. If your tip leads to an arrest and criminal charges you could be eligible for a reward.

Schedule Matters: 2013's Week 1 gets quality Thursday action
In the latest alterations and additions to future college football schedules, 2013's opening Thursday gets a border rivalry, Baylor plays a metaphor game and Virginia ventures where few power-conference programs dare:
• North Carolina vs. South Carolina, Thursday, August 29, 2013. The primetime prelude to the first college football Saturday is bolstered by the addition of a Tar Heels-Gamecocks matchup. You will watch it, because it is there.
• Baylor vs. Wofford, Saturday, August 31, 2013. Have you ever wanted to see how an actual bear would do attacking an actual terrier? Because that's probably what this is going to look like. • Boise State vs. Virginia, 2015 and 2017. Clutch those pearls: A BCS conference team heading into Boise! Wonders never cease. The home-and-home series is currently scheduled for September 26, 2015 in Charlottesville with a return trip to the blue turf on September 23, 2017. Say what you will about the Cavaliers; Virginia schedules with gusto. Following a 2012 slate that included dates with Penn State, TCU and Louisiana Tech, the Cavs' 2013 schedule features home stands against Oregon and BYU. Also, the team once employed, very briefly, that strange snuggly horse mascot. We like Virginia, is our point.

If I'm wearing something that looks ridiculous, would you tell me? Haha, don't worry...it's a hypothetical question.
Most of the time though, I don't need to hear anyone else's opinion on my {lack of fashionable} style. I'm pretty satisfied as long as what I'm wearing is warm and comfortable, and appropriate for the event at hand.
What I do care about, however, is the overall look and feel of my blog. I care that my readers {you!} feel warm and comfortable here. That you're finding what you came here to find. That you were able to enjoy a little moment of your day here with me.
"if it makes me feel good, it'll probably make you feel good too."
I always have my eyes and ears open to suggestions, and take mental notes of sections, features and methods across the web that make me feel good. No, I'm not talking about copying someone's graphics, or duplicating a post, etc. I'm talking about page layout, colors, sections, widgets, etc. I assume that if it makes me feel good, it'll probably make you feel good too. That explains why you see changes to the graphics and layout around here now and then.
|storage jars by Ribbons Undone
In my house, everything has a spot. If I need something, I don't like to dig through a lot of clutter to find it.
This is my goal for the blog as well. I'm working on a way to better categorize my posts so you can find things easier. Things like projects and tutorials, events and workshops, etc. Stay tuned for those change soon!
Recently I participated in my first "blog hop". What caught my attention was that it was to promote constructive feedback for fellow bloggers. Basically, I signed up to hear someone else's anonymous opinion on what they like and don't like about my blog {eeck!}.
I was pleasantly surprised {ok, ecstatic!} that my review was mostly good, er, great! When asked what she liked about upcycleyourlife.com, she replied:
"LOVED the quirkiness of her blog! Great banner, loved the handwritten blog titles, her signature at the end of each post. Great pictures, and lots of them, another big plus. Loved the glimpse into her life, and again, a very good mix of different crafts, family stuff etc."
In my book there's no better compliment than "quirky". Not that I want to come off weird or anything, but to me it means that my personality is able to shine through the myriad of graphics, color schemes, and what-nots. And I like that.
When asked what she didn't like,
"There wasn't really anything I didn't like, layout etc. was great, content was great. I guess the only negative is that she doesn't list the other blogs that she reads. I find that is one of my favourite ways to find new blogs."
|eReader by Polkadots + Blooms
I agree with her about this. I really enjoy reading blogs. It's my favorite way to start and end my day. I'll try to think of a tidy way to add a list of my favorites back into the layout.
You may recall my post about sharing our favorites? Let's do that again! What's your current fav?
Speaking of tidying up, did you hear how much fabric I donated to the craft supply swap last week? :pats self on the back:

THE morning after the children had been in possession of boundless wealth, and had been unable to buy anything really useful or enjoyable with it, except two pairs of cotton gloves, twelve penny buns, an imitation crocodile‐skin purse, and a ride in a pony‐cart, they awoke without any of the enthusiastic happiness which they had felt on the previous day when they remembered how they had had the luck to find a Psammead, or Sand‐fairy, and to receive its promise to grant them a new wish every day. For now they had had two wishes, Beauty and Wealth, and neither had exactly made them happy. But the happening of strange things, even if they are not completely pleasant things, is more amusing than those times when nothing happens but meals, page: 68 and they are not always completely pleasant, especially on the days when it is cold mutton or hash.
There was no chance of talking things over before breakfast, because everyone overslept itself, as it happened, and it needed a vigorous and determined struggle to get dressed so as to be only ten minutes late for breakfast. During this meal some efforts were made to deal with the question of the Psammead in an impartial spirit, but it is very difficult to discuss anything thoroughly and at the same time to attend faithfully to your baby brother's breakfast needs. The Baby was particularly lively that morning. He not only wriggled his body through the bar of his high chair, and hung by his head, choking and purple, but he collared a tablespoon with desperate suddenness, hit Cyril heavily on the head with it, and then cried because it was taken away from him. He put his fat fist in his bread‐and‐milk, and demanded "nam," which was only allowed for tea. He sang, he put his feet on the table—he clamoured to "go walky". The conversation was something like this—page: 69
"Look here—about that Sandy‐fairy—Look out!—he'll have the milk over."
Milk removed to a safe distance.
"Yes—about that Fairy— No, Lamb dear, give Panther the narky poon."
Then Cyril tried. "Nothing we've had yet has turned out—He nearly had the mustard that time!"
"I wonder whether we'd better wish—Hullo!—you've done it now, my boy!" And, in a flash of glass and pink baby‐paws, the bowl of golden carp in the middle of the table rolled on its side and poured a flood of mixed water and goldfish into the Baby's lap and into the laps of the others.
Everyone was almost as much upset as the goldfish; the Lamb only remaining calm. When the pool on the floor had been mopped up, and the leaping, gasping goldfish had been collected and put back in the water, the Baby was taken away to be entirely re‐dressed by Martha, and most of the others had to change completely. The pinafores and jackets that had been bathed in gold‐fish‐and‐water were hung out to dry, and then it turned out that page: 70 Jane must either mend the dress she had torn the day before or appear all day in her best petticoat. It was white and soft and frilly, and trimmed with lace, and very. very pretty, quite as pretty as a frock, if not more so. Only it was not a frock, and Martha's word was law. She wouldn't let Jane wear her best frock, and she refused to listen for a moment to Robert's suggestion that Jane should wear her best petticoat and call it a dress.
"It's not respectable," she said. And when people say that, it's no use anyone's saying anything. You will find this out for yourselves some day.
So there was nothing for it but for Jane to mend her frock. The hole had been torn the day before when she happened to tumble down in the High Street of Rochester, just where a water‐cart had passed on its silvery way. She had grazed her knee, and her stocking was much more than grazed, and her dress was cut by the same stone which had attended to the knees and the stocking. Of course the others were not such sneaks as to abandon a comrade in misfortune, so they all sat on page: 71 the grass‐plot round the sundial, and Jane darned away for dear life. The Lamb was still in the hands of Martha having its clothes changed, so conversation was possible.
Anthea and Robert timidly tried to conceal their inmost thought, which was that the Psammead was not to be trusted; but Cyril said—
"Speak out—say what you've got to say—I hate hinting, and 'don't know,' and sneakish ways like that."
So then Robert said, as in honour bound: "Sneak yourself—Anthea and me weren't so goldfishy as you two were, so we got changed quicker, and we've had time to think it over, and if you ask me"—
"I didn't ask you," said Jane, biting off a needleful of thread as she had always been strictly forbidden to do. (Perhaps you don't know that if you bite off ends of cotton and swallow them they wind tight round your heart and kill you? My nurse told me this, and she told me also about the earth going round the sun. Now what is one to believe—what with nurses and science?)page: 72
"I don't care who asks or who doesn't," said Robert, "but Anthea and I think the Sammyadd is a spiteful brute. If it can give us our wishes I suppose it can give itself its own, and I feel almost sure it wishes every time that our wishes shan't do us any good. Let's let the tiresome beast alone, and just go and have a jolly good game of forts, on our own, in the chalk‐pit."
(You will remember that the happily‐situated house where these children were spending their holidays lay between a chalk‐quarry and a gravel‐pit.)
Cyril and Jane were more hopeful—they generally were.
"I don't think the Sammyadd does it on purpose," Cyril said; "and, after all, it was silly to wish for boundless wealth. Fifty pounds in two‐shilling pieces would have been much more sensible. And wishing to be beautiful as the day was simply donkeyish. I don't want to be disagreeable, but it was. We must try to find a really useful wish, and wish it."
Jane dropped her work and said—page: 73
"I think so too, it's too silly to have a chance like this and not use it. I never heard of anyone else outside a book who had such a chance; there must be simply heaps of things we could wish for that wouldn't turn out Dead Sea fish, like these two things have. Do let's think hard, and wish something nice, so that we can have a real jolly day—what there is left of it."
Jane darned away again like mad, for time was indeed getting on, and everyone began to talk at once. If you had been there you could not possibly have made head or tail of the talk, but these children were used to talking "by fours," as soldiers march, and each of them could say what it had to say quite comfortably, and listen to the agreeable sound of its own voice, and at the same time have three‐quarters of two sharp ears to spare for listening to what the others said. That is an easy example in multiplication of vulgar fractions, but, as I daresay you can't do even that, I won't ask you to tell me whether ¾ × 2 = 1 ½, but I will ask you to believe me that this was the amount of ear each child page: 74 was able to lend to the others. Lending ears was common in Roman times, as we learn from Shakespeare; but I fear I am getting too instructive.
When the frock was darned, the start for the gravel‐pit was delayed by Martha's insisting on everybody's washing its hands—which was nonsense, because nobody had been doing anything at all, except Jane, and how can you get dirty doing nothing? That is a difficult question, and I cannot answer it on paper. In real life I could very soon show you—or you me, which is much more likely.
During the conversation in which the six ears were lent (there were four children, so that sum comes right), it had been decided that fifty pounds in two‐shilling pieces was the right wish to have. And the lucky children, who could have anything in the wide world by just wishing for it, hurriedly started for the gravel‐pit to express their wishes to the Psammead. Martha caught them at the gate, and insisted on their taking the Baby with them.
"Not want him indeed! Why, everybody 'ud want him, a duck! with all their hearts page: 75 they would; and you know you promised your ma to take him out every blessed day," said Martha.
"I know we did," said Robert in gloom, "but I wish the Lamb wasn't quite so young and small. It would be much better fun taking him out."
"He'll mend of his youngness with time," said Martha; "and as for his smallness, I don't think you'd fancy carrying of him any more, however big he was. Besides he can walk a bit, bless his precious fat legs, a ducky! He feels the benefit of the new‐laid air, so he does, a pet!"
With this and a kiss, she plumped the Lamb into Anthea's arms, and went back to make new pinafores on the sewing‐machine. She was a rapid performer on this instrument.
The Lamb laughed with pleasure, and said, "Walky wif Panty," and rode on Robert's back with yells of joy, and tried to feed Jane with stones, and altogether made himself so agreeable that nobody could long be sorry that he was of the party.
The enthusiastic Jane even suggested that page: 76 they should devote a week's wishes to assuring the Baby's future, by asking such gifts for him as the good fairies give to Infant Princes in proper fairy‐tales, but Anthea soberly reminded her that as the Sand‐fairy's wishes only lasted till sunset they could not ensure any benefit to the Baby's later years; and Jane owned that it would be better to wish for fifty pounds in two‐shilling pieces, and buy the Lamb a three‐pound fifteen rocking‐horse, like those in the Army and Navy Stores list, with part of the money.
It was settled that, as soon as they had wished for the money and got it, they would get Mr. Crispin to drive them into Rochester again, taking Martha with them if they could not get out of taking her. And they would make a list of the things they really wanted before they started. Full of high hopes and excellent resolutions, they went round the safe slow cart‐road to the gravel‐pits, and as they went in between the mounds of gravel a sudden thought came to them, and would have turned their ruddy cheeks pale if they had been children in a book. Being real live page: 77 children, it only made them stop and look at each other with rather blank and silly expressions. For now they remembered that yesterday, when they had asked the Psammead for boundless wealth, and it was getting ready to fill the quarry with the minted gold of bright guineas—millions of them—it had told the children to run along outside the quarry for fear they should be buried alive in the heavy splendid treasure. And they had run. And so it happened that they had not had time to mark the spot where the Psammead was, with a ring of stones, as before. And it was this thought that put such silly expressions on their faces.
"Never mind," said the hopeful Jane, "we'll soon find him."
But this, though easily said, was hard in the doing. They looked and they looked, and though they found their seaside spades, nowhere could they find the Sand‐fairy.
At last they had to sit down and rest—not at all because they were weary or disheartened of course, but because the Lamb insisted on being put down, and you cannot page: 78 look very carefully after anything you may have happened to lose in the sand if you have an active baby to look after at the same time. Get someone to drop your best knife in the sand next time you go to the seaside, and then take your baby brother with you when you go to look for it, and you will see that I am right.
The Lamb, as Martha had said, was feeling the benefit of the country air, and he was as frisky as a sandhopper. The elder ones longed to go on talking about the new wishes they would have when (or if) they found the Psammead again. But the Lamb wished to enjoy himself.
He watched his opportunity and threw a handful of sand into Anthea's face, and then suddenly burrowed his own head in the sand and waved his fat legs in the air. Then of course the sand got into his eyes, as it had into Anthea's, and he howled.
The thoughtful Robert had brought one solid brown bottle of ginger‐beer with him, relying on a thirst that had never yet failed him. This had to be uncorked hurriedly—it was the only page: 79 wet thing within reach, and it was necessary to wash the sand out of the Lamb's eyes somehow. Of course the ginger hurt horribly, and he howled more than ever. And, amid his anguish of kicking, the bottle was upset and the beautiful ginger‐beer frothed out into the sand and was lost for ever.
It was then that Robert, usually a very patient brother, so far forgot himself as to say—
"Anybody would want him, indeed! Only they don't; Martha doesn't, not really, or she'd jolly well keep him with her. He's a little nuisance, that's what he is. It's too bad. I only wish everybody did want him with all their hearts; we might get some peace in our lives."
The Lamb stopped howling now, because Jane had suddenly remembered that there is only one safe way of taking things out of little children's eyes, and that is with your own soft wet tongue. It is quite easy if you love the Baby as much as you ought to.
Then there was a little silence. Robert was not proud of himself for having been so cross, and the others were not proud of him either. page: 80 You often notice that sort of silence when someone has said something it ought not to—and everyone else holds its tongue and waits for the one who oughtn't to have said it is sorry.
The silence was broken by a sigh—a breath suddenly let out. The children's heads turned as if there had been a string tied to each nose, and someone had pulled all the strings at once.
And everyone saw the Sand‐fairy sitting quite close to them, with the expression which it used as a smile on its hairy face.
"Good‐morning," it said; "I did that quite easily! Everyone wants him now."
"It doesn't matter," said Robert sulkily, because he knew he had been behaving rather like a pig. "No matter who wants him—there's no one here to—anyhow."
"Ingratitude," said the Psammead, "is a dreadful vice."
"We're not ungrateful," Jane made haste to say, "but we didn't really want that wish. Robert only just said it. Can't you take it back and give us a new one?"
"No—I can't," the Sand‐fairy said shortly; page: 81 "chopping and changing—it's not business. You ought to be careful what you do wish. There was a little boy once, he'd wished for a Plesiosaurus instead of an Ichthyosaurus, because he was too lazy to remember the easy names of everyday things, and his father had been very vexed with him, and had made him go to bed before tea‐time, and wouldn't let him go out in the nice flint boat along with the other children,—it was the annual school‐treat next day,—and he came and flung himself down near me on the morning of the treat, and he kicked his little prehistoric legs about and said he wished he was dead. And of course then he was."
"How awful!" said the children all together.
"Only till sunset, of course," the Psammead said; "still it was quite enough for his father and mother. And he caught it when he woke up—I can tell you. He didn't turn to stone—I forget why—but there must have been some reason. They didn't know being dead is only being asleep, and you're bound to wake up somewhere or other, either where you go to sleep or in some better place. You may be page: 82 sure he caught it, giving them such a turn. Why, he wasn't allowed to taste Megatherium for a month after that. Nothing but oysters and periwinkles, and common things like that."
All the children were quite crushed by this terrible tale. They looked at the Psammead in horror. Suddenly the Lamb perceived that something brown and furry was near him.
"Poof, poof, poofy," he said, and made a grab.
"It's not a pussy," Anthea was beginning, when the Sand‐fairy leaped back.
"Oh, my left whisker!" it said; "don't let him touch me. He's wet."
Its fur stood on end with horror—and indeed a good deal of the ginger‐beer had been spilt on the blue smock of the Lamb.
The Psammead dug with its hands and feet, and vanished in an instant and a whirl of sand.
The children marked the spot with a ring of stones.
"We may as well get along home," said Robert. "I'll say I'm sorry; but anyway if it's no good it's no harm, and we know where the sandy thing is for to‐morrow."page: 83
The others were noble. No one reproached Robert at all. Cyril picked up the Lamb, who was now quite himself again, and off they went by the safe cart‐road.
The cart‐road from the gravel‐pits joins the road almost directly.
At the gate into the road the party stopped to shift the Lamb from Cyril's back to Robert's. And as they paused a very smart open carriage came in sight, with a coachman and a groom on the box, and inside the carriage a lady—very grand indeed, with a dress all white lace and red ribbons and a parasol all red and white—and a white fluffy dog on her lap with a red ribbon round its neck. She looked at the children, and particularly at the Baby, and she smiled at him. The children were used to this, for the Lamb was, as all the servants said, a "very taking child". So they waved their hands politely to the lady and expected her to drive on. But she did not. Instead she made the coachman stop. And she beckoned to Cyril, and when he went up to the carriage she said:
"What a dear darling duck of a baby! page: 84 Oh, I should so like to adopt it! Do you think its mother would mind?"
"She'd mind very much indeed," said Anthea shortly.
"Oh, but I should bring it up in luxury, you know. I am Lady Chittenden. You must have seen my photograph in the illustrated papers. They call me a Beauty, you know, but of course that's all nonsense. Anyway"—
She opened the carriage door and jumped out. She had the wonderfullest red high‐heeled shoes with silver buckles. "Let me hold him a minute," she said. And she took the Lamb and held him very awkwardly, as if she was not used to babies.
Then suddenly she jumped into the carriage with the Lamb in her arms and slammed the door and said, "Drive on!"
The Lamb roared, the little white dog barked, and the coachman hesitated.
"Drive on, I tell you!" cried the lady; and the coachman did, for, as he said afterwards, it was as much as his place was worth not to.
The four children looked at each other, and page: 85 then with one accord they rushed after the carriage and held on behind. Down the dusty road went the smart carriage, and after it, at double‐quick time, ran the twinkling legs of the Lamb's brothers and sisters.
The Lamb howled louder and louder, but presently his howls changed by slow degree to hiccupy gurgles, and then all was still and they knew he had gone to sleep.
The carriage went on, and the eight feet that twinkled through the dust were growing quite stiff and tired before the carriage stopped at the lodge of a grand park. The children crouched down behind the carriage, and the lady got out. She looked at the Baby as it lay on the carriage seat, and hesitated.
"The darling—I won't disturb it," she said, and went into the lodge to talk to the woman there about a setting of Buff Orpington eggs that had not turned out well.
The coachman and footman sprang from the box and bent over the sleeping Lamb.
"Fine boy—wish he was mine," said the coachman.page: 86
"He wouldn't favour you much," said the groom sourly; "too 'andsome."
The coachman pretended not to hear. He said:
"Wonder at her now—I do really! Hates kids. Got none of her own, and can't abide other folkses'."
The children, crouching in the white dust under the carriage, exchanged uncomfortable glances.
"Tell you what," the coachman went on firmly, "blowed if I don't hide the little nipper in the hedge and tell her his brothers took 'im! Then I'll come back for him afterwards."
"No, you don't," said the footman. "I've took to that kid so as never was. If anyone's to have him, it's me—so there!"
"Stow your gab!" the coachman rejoined. "You don't want no kids, and, if you did, one kid's the same as another to you. But I'm a married man and a judge of breed. I knows a firstrate yearling when I sees him. I'm a‐goin' to 'ave him, an' least said soonest mended."page: 87
"I should 'a' thought," said the footman sneeringly, "you'd a'most enough. What with Alfred, an' Albert, an' Louise, an' Victor Stanley, and Helena Beatrice, an another"—
The coachman hit the footman in the chin—the footman hit the coachman in the waistcoat—the next minute the two were fighting here and there, in and out, up and down, and all over everywhere, and the little dog jumped on the box of the carriage and began barking like mad.
Cyril, still crouching in the dust, waddled on bent legs to the side of the carriage farthest from the battlefield. He unfastened the door of the carriage—the two men were far too much occupied with their quarrel to notice anything—took the Lamb in his arms, and, still stooping, carried the sleeping baby a dozen yards along the road to where a stile led into a wood. The others followed, and there among the hazels and young oaks and sweet chestnuts, covered by high strong‐scented bracken, they all lay hidden till the angry voices of the men were hushed at the angry voice of the red‐and‐white lady, and, after a page: 88 long and anxious search, the carriage at last drove away.
"My only hat!" said Cyril, drawing a deep breath as the sound of wheels at last died away. "Everyone does want him now—and no mistake! That Sammyadd has done us again! Tricky brute! For any sake, let's get the kid safe home."
So they peeped out, and finding on the right hand only lonely white road, and nothing but lonely white road on the left, they took courage, and the road, Anthea carrying the sleeping Lamb.
Adventures dogged their footsteps. A boy with a bundle of faggots on his back dropped his bundle by the roadside and asked to look at the Baby, and then offered to carry him; but Anthea was not to be caught that way twice. They all walked on, but the boy followed, and Cyril and Robert couldn't make him go away till they had more than once invited him to smell their fists. Afterwards a little girl in a blue‐and‐white checked pinafore actually followed them for a quarter of a mile crying for "the precious Baby," and then she page: 89 was only got rid of by threats of tying her to a tree in the wood with all their pocket‐handkerchiefs. "So that the bears can come and eat you as soon as it gets dark," said Cyril severely. Then she went off crying. It presently seemed wise, to the brothers and sisters of the Baby, who was wanted by everyone, to hide in the hedge whenever they saw anyone coming, and thus they managed to prevent the Lamb from arousing the inconvenient affection of a milk‐man, a stone‐breaker, and a man who drove a cart with a paraffin barrel at the back of it. They were nearly home when the worst thing of all happened. Turning a corner suddenly they came upon two vans, a tent, and a company of gipsies encamped by the side of the road. The vans were hung all round with wicker chairs and cradles, and flower‐stands and feather brushes. A lot of ragged children were industriously making dust‐pies in the road, two men lay on the grass smoking, and three women were doing the family washing in an old red watering‐can with the top broken off.
In a moment every gipsy, men, women, and children, surrounded Anthea and the Baby.page: 90
"Let me hold him, little lady," said one of the gipsy women, who had a mahogany‐coloured face and dust‐coloured hair; "I won't hurt a hair of his head, the little picture!"
"I'd rather not," said Anthea.
"Let me have him," said the other woman, whose face was also of the hue of mahogany, and her hair jet‐black, in greasy curls. "I've nineteen of my own, so I have."—
"No," said Anthea bravely, but her heart beat so that it nearly choked her.
Then one of the men pushed forward.
"Swelp me if it ain't!" he cried, "my own long‐lost child! Have he a strawberry mark on his left ear? No? Then he's my own baby, stolen from me in hinnocent hinfancy. 'And 'im over—and we'll not 'ave the law on yer this time."
He snatched the Baby from Anthea, who turned scarlet and burst into tears of pure rage.
The others were standing quite still; this was much the most terrible thing that had ever happened to them. Even being taken up by the police in Rochester was nothing to this. Cyril was quite white, and his hands trembled page: 91 a little, but he made a sign to the others to shut up. He was silent a minute, thinking hard. Then he said:
"We don't want to keep him if he's yours. But you see he's used to us. You shall have him if you want him."—
"No, no !" cried Anthea—and Cyril glared at her.
"Of course we want him," said the woman, trying to get the Baby out of the man's arms. The Lamb howled loudly.
"Oh, he's hurt!" shrieked Anthea; and Cyril, in a savage undertone, bade her "stow it!"
"You trust to me," he whispered. "Look here," he went on, "he's awfully tiresome with people he doesn't know very well. Suppose we stay here a bit till he gets used to you, and then when it's bedtime I give you my word of honour we'll go away and let you keep him if you want to. And then when we're gone you can decide which of you is to have him, as you all want him so much."
"That's fair enough," said the man who was holding the Baby, trying to loosen the red neckerchief which the Lamb had caught hold page: 92 of and drawn round his mahogany throat so tight that he could hardly breathe. The gipsies whispered together, and Cyril took the chance to whisper too. He said, "Sunset! we'll get away then."
And then his brothers and sisters were filled with wonder and admiration at his having been so clever as to remember this.
"Oh, do let him come to us;" said Jane. "See, we'll sit down here and take care of him for you till he gets used to you."
"What about dinner?" said Robert suddenly. The others looked at him with scorn. "Fancy bothering about your beastly dinner when your br—I mean when the Baby"—Jane whispered hotly. Robert carefully winked at her and went on:
"You won't mind my just running home to get our dinner?" he said to the gipsies; "I can bring it out here in a basket."
His brothers and sisters felt themselves very noble, and despised him. They did not know his thoughtful secret intention. But the gipsies did in a minute.
"Oh yes!" they said; "and then fetch the page: 93 police with a pack of lies about it being your baby instead of ours ! D'jever catch a weasel asleep?" they asked.
"If you're hungry you can pick a bit along of us," said the light‐haired gipsy woman, not unkindly. "Here Levi, that blessed kid'll howl all his buttons off. Give him to the little lady, and let's see if they can't get him used to us a bit."
So the Lamb was handed back; but the gipsies crowded so closely that he could not possibly stop howling. Then the man with the red handkerchief said—
"Here, Pharaoh, make up the fire; and you girls see to the pot. Give the kid a chanst." So the gipsies, very much against their will, went off to their work, and the children and the Lamb were left sitting on the grass.
"He'll be all right at sunset," Jane whispered. "But, oh, it is awful! Suppose they are frightfully angry when they come to their senses! They might beat us, or leave us tied to trees, or something."
"No, they won't," Anthea said. ("Oh, my Lamb, don't cry any more, it's all right, Panty's page: 94 got oo, duckie!") "They aren't unkind people, or they wouldn't be going to give us any dinner."
"Dinner?" said Robert. "I won't touch their nasty dinner. It would choke me!"
The others thought so too then. But when the dinner was ready—it turned out to be supper, and happened between four and five—they were all glad enough to take what they could get. It was boiled rabbit, with onions, and some bird rather like a chicken, but stringier about its legs and with a stronger taste. The Lamb had bread soaked in hot water and brown sugar sprinkled on the top. He liked this very much, and consented to let the two gipsy women feed him with it, as he sat on Anthea's lap. All that long hot afternoon Robert and Cyril and Anthea and Jane had to keep the Lamb amused and happy, while the gipsies looked eagerly on. By the time the shadows grew long and black across the meadows he had really "taken to" the woman with the light hair, and even consented to kiss his hand to the children, and to stand up and bow, with his hand on his chest— page: 95 "like a gentleman"—to the two men. The whole gipsy camp was in raptures with him, and his brothers and sisters could not help taking some pleasure in showing off his accomplishments to an audience so interested and enthusiastic. But they longed for sunset.
"We're getting into the habit of longing for sunset," Cyril whispered. "How I do wish we could wish something really sensible, that would be of some use, so that we should be quite sorry when sunset came."
The shadows got longer and longer, and at last there were no separate shadows any more, but one soft glowing shadow over everything; for the sun was out of sight—behind the hill—but he had not really set yet. The people who make the laws about lighting bicycle lamps are the people who decide when the sun sets; she has to do it, too, to the minute, or they would know the reason why!
But the gipsies were getting impatient.
"Now, young uns," the red‐handkerchief man said, "it's time you were laying of your heads on your pillows—so it is! The kid's all right and friendly with us now—so you page: 96 just hand him over and sling that hook o' yours like you said."
The women and children came crowding round the Lamb, arms were held out, fingers snapped invitingly, friendly faces beaming with admiring smiles; but all failed to tempt the loyal Lamb. He clung with arms and legs to Jane, who happened to be holding him, and uttered the gloomiest roar of the whole day.
"It's no good," the woman said, "hand the little poppet over, miss. We'll soon quiet him."
And still the sun would not set.
"Tell her about how to put him to bed," whispered Cyril; "anything to gain time—and be ready to bolt when the sun really does make up its silly old mind to set."
"Yes, I'll hand him over in just one minute," Anthea began, talking very fast —"but do let me just tell you he has a warm bath every night and cold in the morning, and he has a crockery rabbit to go into the warm bath with him, and little Samuel saying his prayers in white china on a red cushion for the cold bath; page: 97 and he hates you to wash his ears, but you must; and if you let the soap get into his eyes, the Lamb"—
"Lamb kyes," said he—he had stopped roaring to listen.
The woman laughed. "As if I hadn't never bath'd a babby!" she said. "Come—give us a hold of him. Come to 'Melia, my precious."
"G'way, ugsie!" replied the Lamb at once.
"Yes, but," Anthea went on, "about his meals; you really must let me tell you he has an apple or a banana every morning, and bread‐and‐milk for breakfast, and an egg for his tea sometimes, and"—
"I've brought up ten," said the black‐ringleted woman, "besides the others. Come, miss, 'and 'im over—I can't bear it no longer. I just must give him a hug."
"We ain't settled yet whose he's to be, Esther," said one of the men.
"It won't be you, Esther, with seven of 'em at your tail a'ready."
"I ain't so sure of that," said Esther's husband.page: 98
"And ain't I nobody, to have a say neither?" said the husband of 'Melia.
Zillah, the girl, said, "An' me? I'm a single girl—and no one but 'im to look after—I ought to have him."
"Hold your tongue!"
"Shut your mouth!"
"Don't you show me no more of your impudence!"
Everyone was getting very angry. The dark gipsy faces were frowning and anxious‐looking. Suddenly a change swept over them, as if some invisible sponge had wiped away these cross and anxious expressions, and left only a blank.
The children saw that the sun really had set. But they were afraid to move. And the gipsies were feeling so muddled, because of the invisible sponge that had washed all the feelings of the last few hours out of their hearts, that they could not say a word.
The children hardly dared to breathe. Suppose the gipsies, when they recovered speech, should be furious to think how silly they had been all day?page: 99
It was an awkward moment. Suddenly Anthea, greatly daring, held out the Lamb to the red‐handkerchief man.
"Here he is!" she said.
The man drew back. "I shouldn't like to deprive you miss," he said hoarsely.
"Anyone who likes can have my share of him," said the other man.
"After all, I've got enough of my own," said Esther.
"He's a nice little chap, though," said Amelia. She was the only one who now looked affectionately at the whimpering Lamb.
Zillah said, "If I don't think I must have had a touch of the sun. I don't want him."
"Then shall we take him away?" said Anthea.
"Well—suppose you do," said Pharaoh heartily, "and we'll say no more about it!"
And with great haste all the gipsies began to be busy about their tents for the night. All but Amelia. She went with the children as far as the bend in the road—and there she said:
"Let me give him a kiss, miss—I don't page: 100 know what made us go for to behave so silly. Us gipsies don't steal babies, whatever they may tell you when you're naughty. We've enough of our own, mostly. But I've lost all mine."
She leaned towards the Lamb; and he, looking in her eyes, unexpectedly put up a grubby soft paw and stroked her face.
"Poor, poor!" said the Lamb. And he let the gipsy woman kiss him, and, what is more, he kissed her brown cheek in return—a very nice kiss, as all his kisses are, and not a wet one like some babies give. The gipsy woman moved her finger about on his forehead as if she had been writing something there, and the same with his chest and his hands and his feet; then she said:
"May he be brave, and have the strong head to think with, and the strong heart to love with, and the strong hands to work with, and the strong feet to travel with, and always come safe home to his own." Then she said something in a strange language no one could understand, and suddenly added:
"Well, I must be saying 'so long'—and page: 101 glad to have made your acquaintance." And she turned and went back to her home—the tent by the grassy roadside.
The children looked after her till she was out of sight. Then Robert said, "How silly of her! Even sunset didn't put her right. What rot she talked!"
"Well," said Cyril, "if you ask me, I think it was rather decent of her"—
"Decent?" said Anthea; "it was very nice indeed of her. I think she's a dear."—
"She's just too frightfully nice for anything," said Jane.
And they went home—very late for tea and unspeakably late for dinner. Martha scolded, of course. But the Lamb was safe.
"I say—it turned out we wanted the Lamb as much as anyone," said Robert later.
"Of course."
"But do you feel different about it now the sun's set?"
"No," said all the others together.
"Then it's lasted over sunset with us."
"No, it hasn't," Cyril explained. "The wish didn't do anything to us. We always wanted page: 102 him with all our hearts when we were our proper selves, only we were all pigs this morning; especially you, Robert." Robert bore this much with a strange calm.
"I certainly thought I didn't want him this morning," said he. "Perhaps I was a pig. But everything looked so different when we thought we were going to lose him."
And that, my dear children, is the moral of this chapter. I did not mean it to have a moral, but morals are nasty forward beings, and will keep shoving their oars in where they are not wanted. And since the moral has sneaked in, quite against my wishes, you might as well think of it next time you feel piggy yourself and want to get rid of any of your brothers and sisters. I hope this doesn't often happen, but I daresay it has happened sometimes, even to you!

Well, Tono Fyr has been wanting me to capture something his friend asked Vic Mignogna(English VA for Ed Elric) ever since AWA ended, and I finally captured it today, along with all of the other boring crap I needed to re-get *gag*.
BUT ANYWAY, I decided that since I was going through the Vic & Roy Mustang(don't know the VA's name) I'd go ahead and share you all the fun stuff you guys missed while you were hanging out in Habersham.
First, we have what TonoFyr wanted, which was Roy & Ed's reaction to the AMV fandom (video and audio is out of synch for some reason; it captured like that):
~5mb, edited a bit to cut out junk. (shakeycam is all Devolution's doing, he was holding it at the time)
This is Vic's song "Nothing I won't Give" to an FMA music video:
He sung it live at AWA, and I DID record the live one, but I figured since I found this nice one with no clapping, fangirl screaming, and heads in it, you may want to watch this instead.
The next is quite possibly the most priceless piece of video I have Ever, ever, EVER gotten.
I give you WAPANESE TO THE EXTREME:
~6mb, xvid. Not subtitled because I can't figure out half of what she's saying, either. But LOOK AT ROY'S FACE!! PRICELESS. (Roy's the one on the left)
And Finally, "which yaoi pairing scares you the most?":
~1mb Xvid.
If you only download one, make it the wapanese one!
I do not know who asked the question about AMVs, sorry.
If you want to know Roy and Vic's fav AMVs instead of downloading, highlight this wrote:Roy Mustang:
FMA to Donny Darko theme, "Mad World" (found it on YouTube)
Vic's is "Ninja of the Night"

California taxes away jobs while Texas adds them
While many states have been struggling through the economic downturn, there's been a giant neon sign hanging over Texas that says "OPEN FOR BUSINESS."
More recently, "Texas created 129,000 new jobs in the last year -- over one-half of all the new jobs in the U.S. In contrast, California lost 112,000 jobs during the same period," according to "Texas vs. California: Economic growth prospects for the 21st Century," a new report by the Texas Public Policy Foundation released in October.
Texas is home to 64 Fortune 500 companies -- more than any other state in the union. (California has 51 and New York has 56.) For five years in a row, Texas has topped Chief Executive magazine's poll of the best state to do business.
Meanwhile, California is ranked dead last in the Chief Executive's survey. California state treasurer Bill Lockyer even went so far as to pen a Dec. 20 op-ed in the Los Angeles Times denying "the claim that we have a hostile business climate."
So why are businesses flocking to Texas and fleeing California? Well, as a recent headline from The Economist put it, in California "They paved paradise and put up the parking taxes."
Texas has no personal income tax. With a top rate of 10.3 percent, California has the third-highest state income tax after Oregon and Hawaii.
The tax advantage goes much deeper. The Tax Foundation cites California as having the 33rd highest corporate income tax topping out at 8.8 percent -- much higher than Texas' modest 1 percent gross receipts tax on business.
California's capital gains tax is the highest in the country, whereas Texas levies no tax on capital gains. California's sales tax is the second highest in the nation and its energy taxes are the highest in the country.
And as California's taxes have gotten higher, the state's revenue has become more unstable.
"When you're taxing income that high you're not taxing wage income, your taxing capital gains and dividends, which is tying you to the most volatile form of taxation -- the corporate income tax," Kail Padgitt, economist and author of the Tax Foundations' annual State Business Tax Climate Index.
"That's the problem for California -- boom-time budgeting. Texas is more dependent on property taxes and stable forms of taxation and Texas' two year budget cycle requires more planning, and that's helped them."
The result is that California is inordinately dependent on taxing the wealthy, which has proven to be a poor economic strategy. The decline in tax revenues from households making over $200,000 accounts for 93 percent of California's total decline in tax revenues since 2007.
When states tax wealthy earners too much, they often get up and move to where the tax burden is lower -- such as Texas.
While high-tax states like California are foundering, not-tax states are thriving. From 1997 to 2008, Texas and the other nine states with no personal income tax created 89 percent more jobs and had 32 percent faster personal income growth.
The lessons learned from California's progressive taxation apply to the whole country. A 2008 survey by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development found "taxation is most progressively distributed in the United States" -- even more so than socialist Europe.
If there are benefits of having high progressive tax rates, California shows that economic stability and job creation aren't among them.

Very happy to report that there is a newly qualified all age chocolate on the block! We entered Copper in his first Q, the South Jersey RC trial this past weekend where he placed 2nd! We are all very excited and looking forward to continuing his training and competing in all age events next year.
This never would have happened without a group of unbelievably experienced and patient training partners whose help was invaluable, namely:
Dave Williams
Donna Williams
Mary Beth Corsini
Last but not least, my Cousin and training mentor Glen Golden, who also came of out retirement to handle Copper to the second place finish. He hasn't lost his touch!
Also I have to give a huge thanks to RTF, its been a great resource - not to mention RTF was how I found the outstanding breeding (FC-AFC WAY DA GO Drake x Watermark's Bonny QAA MH) that produced this guy.
Here's my boy and his ribbon . . .

Will it be available on hasbrotoyshop? I've been looking. Did they sell out?
Will it be available on hasbrotoyshop? I've been looking. Did they sell out?
I've been looking as well, and I don't think they've gone online yet. Apparently, last year's exclusives went online the Tuesday after the convention, but that doesn't mean I'm not going to keep checking today. I know they sold out of their allotment for the convention, but I'm assuming (or at least hoping) that they set some aside for the website.

Just ordered mine, and with free shipping, so the 10% off code doesn't work. Better hurry before they're gone!
"I take orders from just one person - ME!"
I forgot about this thread, as I consider this a Vintage release . . . anyway, I got mine, but they're already sold out. That was fast, and some of the other exclusives were gone even faster.

My Star Wars Fan Film: The Lazy Jedi
Well, looks like I missed it by a matter of minutes. 2 years in a row of exclusives I would have payed good money for and Hasbro doesn't want to take it. The real kick in the arse is that the one event I will be able to make it to, Celebration VI, they're not even making an exclusive for. Oh well, more money to spend on Lego sets, at least you can find those in stores.
They should, since they're investing in the molds anyway, do some sort of "non exclusive" for all SDCC exclusives that's a little different. Maybe take the foil sticker off the boxes. Remove one accessory from the figures. In this case, I'm sure a lot of people would've been happy with just the Jar Jar being sold separately.
That's my jacket!
And so begins my crusade for carbonite Jar Jar to win the next greatest hits poll and see a rerelease.
Have: CW Yularen, CW Clone, everything from CW Slave I set except Slave I, TFU Shadow Stormtrooper x2, Evo Trooper, Saga AT-AT Driver, K-Mart Jodo Kast || Want: Vintage Fordo
Thanks to TheDarthVader, Phantom-like Menace, TheRealDubya, Jediguy, Dark Marble, Umbra, Qui-Long Gone, CrunchyNug, GH_fan and jedikiss.
Their idea (in theory, at least) is usually that the figures could be seen as separate or supplementary to a normal collection - Jorg Sacul, CIII Vader, and carbonite Jar Jar fit the bill, as they're not based on anything from the actual canon. Things like the CIV McQuarrie figures veer into the "if you have the other figures from this subline, you're gonna want these" territory, and so did the Camie and Fixer two-pack. I don't know much about the other lines, but the GI Joe stuff painted like Transformers is probably a little outside the realm of the regular line as well (though I dunno about those Jinx figures). Of course, for weirdos like me who have to have anything that's slightly unique, it's a different story.Originally Posted by El Chuxter
For last year's giant Death Star set, the packaging was the only thing that was exclusive - everything else was re-released to a point of oversaturation a few months later, aside from the previously-released Salacious Crumb and Mouse Droid (their cards were part of the exclusivity). It was presented cool, but since the only difference was the packaging, I can live without it.
As to the cost of the mold, I'm assuming some of it has to be offset - at least in Jar Jar's case - by the other figures coming with it. They're all being packed into the main line, and only two of the figures are all-new molds anyway (plus changes to Vader and the sandtrooper). People can get the same "lost line look" or just regular Vintage cards for the wave. So those figures can't cost very much comparatively, and putting everything in a big set allows them to charge a lot of money and make you feel like you're getting a good bang for your buck (to some degree, anyway). I would have rather just bought Jar Jar by itself (two, actually, so I could keep one carded and open the other one), but if this is the way it's gonna be, then so be it.

Hasbro's been really weird with SDCC Joe exclusives lately. On the one hand, there are the crossover figures with Transformers, which are just cool icing for your collection. On the other hand, with basic figure exclusives, it's a bizarre mix: most people won't want Cobra Commander in a pinstripe suit, and Sergeant Slaughter has rights issues that'd prevent him from being made as a mainstream figure. But Jinx is an important character (both in the classic line and Retaliation, which was supposed to be out around the time of SDCC), Zarana is immensely important and was highly-requested for ages (she'd be really tough for all but the best to customize), and the Destro figure was the only unmasked Rise of Cobra figure (as opposed to that pegwarming figure of the character as he appeared for all of six seconds at the end).
That's opposed to Transformers, who look to normally be repaints of existing figures to look like obscure Japan-only characters.
That's my jacket!
I think I got one of the last ones. I ordered it, went back to the website after I got done, and it was already sold out. Kinda lucked out, I guess.

Filmmaker Sandra Kogut to show work, May 17
Posted May 14, 2004; 03:40 p.m.
Brazilian filmmaker Sandra Kogut will show her work, "Passagers d'Orsay" ("Passengers of Orsay"), at 4:30 p.m. Monday, May 17, in 10 East Pyne.
Kogut, a visiting associate professor in Princeton's Department of Spanish and Portuguese Languages and Cultures , is known as one of today's most distinctive cultural filmmakers.
