Do the new Episode 2 12 inch figures have any value?
At ebay, I saw several listings for the Obi Wan Kenobi figures at $20 and up and nobody was placing a bid.
I checked my local Toys R Us and they only have Mace Windu.
Where can I find the 12 inch figures at a cheap price and in C10 condition?

As I was sitting reflecting on the forum discussions and my season I started thinking about what I done right and wrong. It struck me that there are three fundamentals, much like school. Here is a short synopsis of those thoughts:
Reading - When you hear a gobbler you need to read his mood and where he's at. Can I move on him, is he anxious hot, has he had pressure. How quick is he to answer the call. Read the land and figure which way he will most likely travel. Experience and reflections from experienced hunters help you read this. Don't you read the preface of a book to set the stage for the story within? Will he like hard calling or soft?
Writing - It's not always what you say, but how you say it that makes a difference. Early in the season you will get away with being the mouthy flirting chick, but by the end of the school year guys know which chicks are just pulling their string. So speak softly and mean what you say, put it in writing. As a Christian brother please excuse this analogy ....if your in a bar and the girl at the counter is jawing your arm off and flirting, your ok with that, but when the hot blonde across the room stands up and takes off her shirt and coyly says, "look at these, boys". Where do you think most every male in the place will be? So say less as the season goes on.
Arithmetic - Figuring is crucial to life. In turkey hunting you need to figure where he wants to be, where your gonna shoot him, how far is he, will he come linear or circle? You have to figure how long should I hold out in one spot or move. How many times do i call? Is it time to to go find another bird. How far away is he? All calculations that require an answer in an expeditious manner.
I cold expand on each of these fundamentals for pages, but I think you get the drift.

Is gene testing for breast cancer a preventive healthcare option?
When it comes to disease susceptibility, experts claim that knowledge eventually leads to prevention. The debate revolving around gene patenting has garnered global attention from life science industry and has also raised the question - Is gene testing a form of preventive healthcare that will bring down the ever increasing healthcare costs in the long run?
A comparative analysis of the costs involved in getting genetic testing done, specifically for standard diseases like Breast Cancer (BRCA), diabetes, and cardiovascular ailments among others reveals shocking figures. The average cost of getting BRCA gene tested anywhere in the world ranges between $1,000-to- $3,000.
In Asia, even though the test has been available through several companies since the early 1990's, newer companies are coming up with more technologically advanced methods of genetic testing, in the melee, bringing down the costs considerably. However, medical experts have highlighted that the cost for BRCA testing is not even one-fourth of the total cost of treatment of breast cancer, when detected in later stages.
A standard BRCA gene test costs a little more than $3,000 in the US and so far only one company has held the official patent to test for BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene presence. Comparing this to other Asian countries reveals a cost variation that is considerably huge.
While one-in-eight women in the US have a chance of developing breast cancer, in India around one-in-30 women carry this risk. In India a genetic test for BRCA would cost a patient anywhere between $1,000 (Rs 57,000) and $2,000 (Rs 1,00,000).

The newsletter article comparing GIMP and Photoshop made me wonder--does GIMP have the clipping masks that Photoshop does? I use Paint.net (another free download) for cropping, editing, etc, but it doesn't have the clipping mask. I'd love to have that application.

I'm not sure if they work exactly the same way, but I use GIMP and often use a clipping mask. What GIMP lacks is the ability to use the styles. Other than that, I haven't had any trouble doing in GIMP what I've seen here.

Tennis elbow is soreness or pain on the outside (lateral) side of the upper arm near the elbow.
Epitrochlear bursitis; Lateral epicondylitis; Epicondylitis - lateral
The part of the muscle that attaches to a bone is called a tendon. Some of the muscles in your forearm attach to the bone on the outside of your elbow.
When you use these muscles over and over again, small tears develop in the tendon. Over time, this leads to irritation and pain where the tendon is attached to the bone.
This injury is common in people who play a lot of tennis or other racquet sports, hence the name "tennis elbow." Backhand is the most common stroke to cause symptoms.
However, any activity that involves repetitive twisting of the wrist (like using a screwdriver) can lead to this condition. Therefore, painters, plumbers, construction workers, cooks, and butchers are all more likely to develop tennis elbow.
This condition may also be due to constant computer keyboard and mouse use.
Your doctor or nurse will examine you. The exam may show:
X-rays may be done.
The first step is to rest your arm and avoid the activity that causes your symptoms for at least 2 - 3 weeks. You may also want to:
If your tennis elbow is due to sports activity, you may want to:
If your symptoms are related to working on a computer, ask your manager about making changes to your work station or have someone look at how you chair, desk, and computer are set up.
An occupational therapist can show you exercises to stretch and strengthen the muscles of your forearm.
You can buy a special brace for tennis elbow at most drug stores. It wraps around the upper part of your forearm and takes some of the pressure off the muscles.
Your doctor may also inject cortisone and a numbing medicine around the area where the tendon attaches to the bone. This may help decrease the swelling and pain.
If the pain continues after 6 - 12 months of rest and treatment, surgery may be recommended. Talk with your orthopedic surgeon about the risks, and whether surgery might help.
Elbow pain may get better without surgery. However, most people who have surgery have full use of their elbow forearm afterwards.

Opinions, Context & Ideas from the TPM Editors TPM Editor's Blog
The Changing Web (Geeks Only)
As noted previously, our audience is not representative of the web as a whole. We have a large Mac readership, a fairly tech-centric readership and a fairly affluent one. Still, these are big, big changes over a short period of time and sort of eye-popping if you're still used to the idea that Windows is (ok, was) the default operating of the computing world.
Looking more deeply into the numbers, there are two basic trends. One is the rise of Mac market penetration, which is higher for our readership than for the web at large but still growing. But the big factor is mobile.
As you can see, the drop off in Windows usership seems clearly correlated to the growth in Mac usership through 2009. Then Mac levels off and even drops a bit. And the growth is all in mobile. Note that for TPM mobile usership is roughly doubling every 12 months.
The additional wrinkle here is that 77% of that mobile traffic you see in the chart is from iOS devices, i.e., iPhones, iPads, iPods, etc. So give or take, around 40% of the visits to TPM come from computers or devices that use an operating system built by Apple. Compare that to 20% only 5 years ago.

Modern Baby, the sweet new book from That Patchwork Place just arrived. This book is full of great baby quilt ideas for the modern quilter, and the modern baby. Quilts with a bit more punch to stimulate the baby's senses. Today, Dana of Old Red Barn Co, Melissa of Happy Quilting Melissa, and Amy of Diary of a Quilter are here to tell us a bit more about their contributions to the book, which is packed full of patterns by a bevy of talented bloggers.
Hello! I am Melissa of Happy Quilting Melissa and my contribution to Modern Baby is titled "Daddy's Little Girl". I have three little girls that have Daddy totally wrapped around their little fingers. Hence, the inspiration for the zig-zag that wraps up the quilt. I added an ombre-esque background moving from black to white to bring lots of modern flair, and combined with the quilting (which I did myself!), the little wrapped zig-zags really pop! And the final touch was the adorable tiny applique that references those little cuties that inspired the creation from the start.

A Simple Investigation (episode)
this wiki
(written from a Production point of view)
Odo falls for a mysterious woman who is targeted for murder.
Summary Edit
An Idanian in his quarters is visited by two unfriendly Finneans. The short discussion ends up in the death of the Idanian. The two mention an object they were looking for and a woman the dead Idanian was supposed to meet on the station.
In Quark's Jadzia Dax, Bashir, Odo and O'Brien talk about a new role playing holoprogram which has finally arrived, based on Bashir's secret agent series. All of them seem very eager to try it - although O'Brien would rather play a character other than Falcon – except for Odo, who finally refuses upon learning that part of his role will be stealing a girl from the evil Falcon.
Odo then walks away to see Quark harassing a woman waiting at his bar, (Arissa). While successfully convincing Quark to stop bothering her (she is actually waiting for someone), Odo involuntarily makes her believe that he is interested in her, leading to a slightly awkward situation.
Later, the woman is caught trying to break into the station computer. She was trying to access the passenger manifest because her friend never showed up. She has a dataport and while not illegal, this is very suspicious. However, she tells Odo that she attempted to bypass the system because she learned not to trust policemen.
As the episode unfolds, we learn that Arissa is trying to run away from the Orion Syndicate and the man she is trying to reach was to help her. All she is able to get is a data crystal but she is not able to decrypt it yet. Odo offers to protect her, hiding her in his own quarters. The two become increasingly close (with Dax keeping the Starfleet crew well aware) and we learn that Arissa is a former net-girl and a computer hacker who worked for Draim.
An Idanian arrives at the station following Odo's communication about the one that has been killed. The man explains that Arissa is an undercover agent who work for the Idanian government and that the crystal contains all her former memories, wiped from her brain to fool the telepaths used by the Orion syndicate.
These events happen while Arissa is making a deal of her own with her former employer, exchanging the crystal with her freedom. Draim, however, has no intention of letting her live, but Odo is finally able to save her with the help of the Idanian man.
Arissa's memories and physical appearance are then restored. She also informs Odo that she is married and, while it would be pointless to continue their relationship (since she is not really the same person anymore) there was a woman who truly loved Odo and that she still exists in a sense. While the constable ended up with a broken heart, he still had a positive experience and gained a little more self confidence with women.
Memorable quotes Edit
"I thought it was on stun."
"Look what you did to the carpet."
- - Sorm and Traidy, after Rem is vaporized
"If people are talking, it's only because they care. You put on a good front, but anyone who really knows you can see that you're lonely."
- - Bashir, to Odo
"What if I... what if she..."
"Rejects you?... She might. But you can't go through life trying to avoid having your heart broken. If you do, it'll break from loneliness, anyway. So you might as well take a chance. If you don't, she'll move on, and you'll never know what you might have had. And living with that would be worse than having a broken heart, believe me."
- - Odo and Bashir
(in Falcon voice) "Car trouble, Mr. Bashir?" (regular voice) "Hi, Odo."
- - O'Brien, as Falcon, pointing a gun at Bashir
"This isn't fair! Odo and I were talking!"
"Didn't anyone ever tell ya? You shouldn't stop for hitchhikers."
- - Bashir and O'Brien (as Falcon)
"I've never done anything sexual before... could you tell?"
- - Odo, to Arissa
"You are not talking, you're gossiping. And besides, Odo is quite capable of taking care of himself."
"Don't shout across the room. If you want to "gossip" with us then come down here."
- - Worf and Dax
"Where is Odo? He asked me to arrange a conference with Starfleet Intelligence at 0800."
"I guess he's running late."
"He's never late."
"He's never spent the night with a woman before."
"A woman? Oh that's nice..." (Sudden look from Kira) "Isn't it?"
- - Sisko and Dax
Background informationEdit
Story and scriptEdit
- This episode was inspired by the 1952 Richard Fleischer film The Narrow Margin. In the movie, Charles McGraw plays a policeman who is assigned to escort Marie Windsor to an important trial in which she is a key witness. Over the course of the film, he falls in love with her, even though he knows he shouldn't, as there can be no future with her. At the end of the film, it turns out that Windsor is also a cop and is acting as a decoy for the real witness who has gotten to the trial a completely different way. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
- The writers had originally planned for Odo to have a sexual relationship with Chalan Aroya early in the fifth season while he was still a humanoid, but they felt that she wasn't right for him when she was introduced in "Broken Link", so they altered their plans. By the time they got around to doing an Odo relationship story however, he had regained his shape-shifting abilities. This was something that displeased Ronald D. Moore; "I wish we'd done the show while Odo was still human. If he had been Human, the relationship with this woman would have carried a little more weight." (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
- In René Echevarria's original teleplay, there was a scene where Arissa comes out of Odo's bedroom and finds Odo regenerating. She walks over to him and touches him, and he morphs onto her. Echevarria was especially proud of this scene, but Ira Steven Behr felt it was thematically more important for this particular episode that Odo make love as a humanoid. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion) Echevarria's scene however would resurface, when Odo does the same thing with Kira in the seventh season episode "Chimera". (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
- Rene Echevarria's original draft featured a character that would later become Vic Fontaine. Ira Behr recalled: "While we were writing "A Simple Investigation", Rene Echevarria said, 'Lets put the scene with the night-club singer in here. And I said, 'We're not gonna get Frank Sinatra, Jr. but maybe we can get Steve Lawrence or someone. So Rene wrote a scene, and that's when the character became Vic Fontaine. But the show was too long and we heard that Steve Lawrence wasn't available, so it never really made it beyond the first draft". (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
- The producers intended this episode to illustrate to viewers that Odo was no longer in love with Kira. They were satisfied with how the relationship had ended in "Crossfire" and they felt that the only chance Odo and Kira had to get together was while he was a humanoid, but with Shakaar in the picture, this never happened. As such, as far as the producers were concerned, Odo and Kira were back to just having a very deep friendship, something which this episode was designed to illustrate. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion) However, only five episodes later, in "Children of Time", they changed their minds again and Odo's love for Kira would finally be revealed to her, albeit not by him.
- Bashir's secret agent holonovel was purposely limited in its screen time by the writers, who also kept the homages to James Bond restrained after they were threatened with legal action by MGM following the airing of the episode "Our Man Bashir". (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
- Rene Auberjonois had to shave his entire upper body for this episode. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
- Rene Auberjonois commented "I thought ["A Simple Investigation"] was terrific and really just loved working with Dey Young. I had a great time, and the director, John Kretchmer, was terrific. I think that was the show in which I chided Ira [Behr] about how he always made Odo suffer". ("Morphing On Up", Star Trek Monthly, issue 33)
- Dey Young greatly enjoyed the episode, particularly working with Rene Auberjonois and John Kretchmer. Young commented: "In all the years Paramount has done the show, I am the only love interest that Odo has had, so it was important that it was real and that we had a great relationship. We really worked on that. It was a lot of fun and I really enjoyed it". Dey Young hoped that Arissa might make another appearance on the series, commenting: "There's talk of bringing her back. How they would do it, I don't know. We'll see". ("Love Hurts", Star Trek Monthly, issue 29)
- Of this episode, Ira Steven Behr says "I think we do crappy romances. But in terms of romantic shows, this wasn't a bad one." (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
- The costume worn by Dey Young as the undercover Arissa was previously used for Young's portrayal of Hannah Bates in TNG: "The Masterpiece Society" and later for Keyla Terrana in ENT: "Two Days and Two Nights".
- Among the in-jokes listed as Arissa accesses the passenger manifest with her dataport are "Jerry Maquire," "Either Oneorother," and "Elbow Grease."

TICKETS NOW ON SALE for
Museum of Work & Culture's Signature Event
Salute to Spring ~ Bonjour Printemps
TICKETS NOW ON SALE for
Museum of Work & Culture's Signature Event
Salute to Spring ~ Bonjour Printemps
The Museum of Work & Culture, a division of the Rhode Island
Historical Society, announces that tickets are now on sale for its
signature event "A Salute to Spring/Bounjour Printemps." The event
will be held on Sunday, April 7, 2013 from 1:30 – 5:00. The
celebration also marks the end of the museum's annual appeal and
raffle. The grand prize, a trip for 2 to Montreal, Canada, donated by
Conway tours, will be drawn that day. Other prizes include more than
30 gift certificates to restaurants and entertainment venues.
The day's activities will feature a concert by Josée Vachon, the
popular Franco-American entertainer who brings her warm engaging humor
and upbeat rhythms to the museum's ITU Hall. Also, one of the
museum's popular living history plays "Play Ball" will be presented
during the afternoon. The setting for "Play Ball" takes play on a
Sunday afternoon, July 4, 1937, at Mrs. Lizotte's boarding house in
Woonsocket. It is a reflection of the role that baseball played in
the daily lives of people working and living in the Blackstone Valley.
It tells the time when the Great Depression was affecting everyone.
Baseball was one of the things that people could still enjoy. It
helped them to forget the "hard times" they were experiencing. Jean
McKenna O'Donnell plays Mrs. Lizzotte. Jean has been a long-time
volunteer at the Museum of Work & Culture and has appeared in other
plays including 335 Bernon Street and Bridget, the Slater Mill
Domestic. Erik Eckilson plays Mike Sullivan, a worker at the Social
Mill. Erik is also a long- time volunteer at the Museum and has
appeared in several plays including Finlay's Corner, The Holidays at
Finlay's Corner, The Boarding House and his award winning role as
Joseph Schmetz, head of the ITU in The ITU Meeting.
Gold Sponsors for this event include Braver PC, Conway Tours, Québec
Délégation in Boston, and Soucy Insurance Agency. Silver Sponsors are
Canadian Consulate in Boston, the Northern Rhode Island Chamber of
Commerce, Wrights Dairy Farm and Li'l General.
Refreshments will be served throughout the afternoon. Tickets are $15
per person and can be purchased at the museum which is located at 42
South Main Street, Woonsocket, RI 02895 or by calling 401-769-9675.

I'm really psyched! I just won the Takara transforming X-Wing. I doesn't have the stickers for the front of the craft and one of the laser's looks a bit bent but other that it would appear to be in good shape. I guess I'm find out once I get it.

Mace Windu - Episode 2.5: Sith on a Plane
Ok my Takara X-Wing arrived in the mail this afternoon. It's a tad dusty (but that's easy to take care of) and other than no stickers it's in good shape. I was worried that one or more of the lasers were bent, but the plastic their made is so soft I could bend them right back. I decided to clean up the parts that came off the spur frames, as most of them were pretty messy.
Size wise the body is smaller than the Kenner version, but has the same wing span. The engines are totally different. The front half is the same size, but the back half is fatter and shorter. The cockpit is much smaller. The canopy doesn't open well. I've clearly strested the plastic just opening and closeing it to get the pilot out. So I think am doing that. The pilot figure is down right lame. The R2 figure on the hand is pretty cool. It has three legs. The two main legs move together. All four spring loaded lasers still work.
But I think the coolest part of the this is the transforming aspect. You can't make just any transformtion thou. The location of pegs and hole might limit you. The engines in particular can be hard to make fit. But it's tons of fun.

Mace Windu - Episode 2.5: Sith on a Plane
Awaiting my first bootlegs in the mail
Hi, newbie here.
The other day, I was going through my mom's house (she died last month) and I came across a bag of Kenner figures that my younger brother (previously deceased) had collected.
I know nothing at all about Star Wars figures, although I recall that there were several variations and some are worth more than others. I have not been able to find any kind of listing anywhere of how many were in the set, what variations are worth more, etc.
Anyway, all are still on card, unopened:
Walrus Man
Luke (X-Wing)
Hammer Head
Death Star Droid
Boba Fett
Rebel Soldier (Hoth Battle Gear)
Han (Hoth Outfit) -- two of these
Bespin Security Guard
Sand People
Leia Organa (Bespin Gown)
Cloud Car Pilot
Leia (Hoth Outfit)
At-At Commander
Bespin Security Guard (Black)
Rebel Commander
Luke (Bespin Fatigues)
Imperial Stormtrooper (Hoth Battlegear)
Han (Bespin Outfit)
At-At Driver
Obi Wan Kenobi
Imperial Commander
So, can anyone help a newbie out with any info?
Sorry for your losses.
The best place would probably try to find some sort of online data base, but I use the Super Collectors Wishbook (B&N, $30) for all of the variation references as they have photos of most of them, excluding most foriegn and card offer variations. With vintage carded figures it mostly depends on the condition. A really good example would be your SW Boba Fett as its probably worth the most. Creases, yellowing bubble, bent corners, punched holes are all taken into consideration.
There is a place called AFA grading that carefully inspects whatever you send to themn and they give the figure an overall grade and is sealed in a plastic case to presevre the figure which will also increase the value/better protect it. I have never used them, as I dont have anything sweet enough to send them and even if I did I would think twice about sending something so great through the mail.
Or, whatever you feel its worth to you. Being that these used to belong to your brother might make the above mean nothing, or maybe not.
Any way you look at it you have a GREAT collection. If you dont mind, could you post some pics? People finding this stuff on accident is always the best story.
Hope I was able to help a little, Im sure more knowledgable members will chime in eventually.
*EDIT* Also, with the earlier figures, the less pictures of figures on the back, the better : )
Thanks, Nate.
I'll see what I can do about getting some pictures up, and in the meantime will keep an eye on this thread.

By M. Scott Morris/NEMS Daily Journal
The Academy Awards are Sunday, and once again I'm not in contention, which is horribly disappointing.
True, I've never made a movie or written a screenplay. I don't own a quality camera or sound equipment, and I've never written a song, much less a score for an entire movie.
I don't enjoy wearing tuxedoes or the shiny, flat-soled shoes that come with them, so I wouldn't be comfortable walking down a red carpet.
And I wouldn't want people taking photographs and wanting my autograph. It would be weird to have people thinking I was better than them, when I'm perfectly capable of forgetting how to tie my own shoes.
Glamour is for other people, and they can have it, but I love the movies.
Maybe love is too strong a word, especially since the kids were born. Obviously, I love my kids, but they make movies harder to love because I usually have to watch after they go to sleep.
Every so often I'll stay up until 3 a.m. or later for a movie marathon, but there's usually a payment extracted the next day and the day after.
The equation works like this: Love minus two days of messed-up sleep equals like.
My movie addiction involves sitting still, possibly eating food and letting someone else's cinematic vision wash over me.
I'm impressed by those who go from consumer to producer and make their own movies. From the outside looking in, it seems to be a difficult enterprise.
Movie people usually have to collaborate with a lot of other folks, and everybody knows people can be annoying.
In addition, you have to be willing to invest a bunch of money and time, and there's no guarantee your finished product will be any good. So many people have worked so ridiculously hard to make such horrible movies.
It's sad when you think about it, and I almost feel sorry for them, even while writing bad reviews for the Mighty Daily Journal.
My movie review job is a fine fit because it's in line with something I'm already inclined to do, but I've had to suffer through some crummy stuff.
I despise getting scared by movies and don't understand folks who enjoy it. The last time I had to see a scary movie, I had to think hard about getting out of bed at night to go to the bathroom.
I live close to the Battle of Tupelo site, so there's probably Confederate and Union dead roaming my house. It's safer to stay under the covers, though that's tough on the bladder.
But as a general rule, movies should be evaluated by their effect on the bladder.
Have you ever forced yourself to ignore nature's call for fear of missing something on screen?
That's the true judge of cinematic quality, though I doubt glamorous types would walk down the red carpet for "The Toiletry Awards."

Palin on oil spill: We must continue to drill, baby, drill
posted at 6:55 pm on April 30, 2010 by Allahpundit
A noble effort, especially given Alaska's experience with the Valdez, but I think she's fighting a losing battle here.
As an Alaskan, I can speak from the heart about the tragedy of an oil spill. For as long as I live, I will never forget the day the Exxon-Valdez ran aground on Bligh Reef and millions of gallons of North Slope crude poured into the waters of our beautiful Prince William Sound. The spill was devastating to so many Alaskans who, like my own family, make their living on the water from our commercial fishing industry. "Heartbreaking" was the word my husband Todd, an Alaska Native and trained oil spill responder, used to describe the scene as we watched it unfold on land and water that we feel is sacred…
In the coming days, there will be hearings to discover the cause of the explosion and the subsequent leak. Actions will be taken to increase oversight to prevent future accidents. Government can and must play an appropriate role here. If a company was lax in its prevention practices, it must be held accountable. It is inexcusable for any oil company to not invest in preventative measures. They must be held accountable or the public will forever distrust the industry…
All responsible energy development must be accompanied by strict oversight, but even with the strictest oversight in the world, accidents still happen. No human endeavor is ever without risk – whether it's sending a man to the moon or extracting the necessary resources to fuel our civilization. I repeat the slogan "drill here, drill now" not out of naiveté or disregard for the tragic consequences of oil spills – my family and my state and I know firsthand those consequences. How could I still believe in drilling America's domestic supply of energy after having seen the devastation of the Exxon-Valdez spill? I continue to believe in it because increased domestic oil production will make us a more secure, prosperous, and peaceful nation.
The White House insists that Axelrod was misinterpreted this morning when he said there's a freeze on new drilling; apparently, production drilling that's currently in the works is still okay. I've got a feeling that position won't hold, though. This harrowing AP story on the spill makes the case — convincingly — that it could be one of the worst man-made environmental calamities in modern history, like some sort of oily Chernobyl. The type of oil that was being drilled is especially crude and gooey; the type of marshlands at risk in Louisiana are especially fragile and hard to clean; and because the exploded part underwater is actually a live well, there's theoretically no limit to how much oil can leak from it. Unlike the Valdez, whose supply was finite, it'll just keep bubblin' up until they cap it. (That'll be the argument for why we need to go back to importing oil instead of drilling our own.) Louisiana's already opened shrimp season early to let fishermen catch what they can in case the local supply gets wiped out. How do you think the "drill, baby, drill" movement will be doing a month from now if there's a small black sea growing in the Gulf of Mexico?
More good news: Apparently there are three separate breaks in the rig from which oil is flowing. Experts say that's not a sign that the riser will collapse and that the flow will increase, but stay tuned. As for the politics of it, our liberal betters who blamed George Bush for every misfortune to befall the world for eight years are now on the lookout for crazed wingnuts attempting to blame this somehow on Obama. I won't take the bait, but do read lefty Michael Roston's post on how the federal agency charged with policing oil producers has been preoccupied lately with … green energy.
Update: CBS notices that, aside from Palin and Bob McDonnell, Republicans are being awfully quiet about further drilling thus far.

The Latin and Uniate Churches
Whatever the relations between Rome and Constantinople, there was no attempt to establish a Western Church in the Holy Land independent of the Orthodox Patriarchate until the Crusader period, during which time a Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem was in existence, from 1099 till 1291.The office was again constituted in 1847. Until then, responsibility for the local Church rested with the Franciscan Order, which has been serving as Custodian of Latin holy sites since the 14th century.
Today the Latin Church of Jerusalem is headed by a patriarch assisted by three vicars (resident in Nazareth, Amman and Cyprus). The community in Israel numbers about 20,000 (with fewer than 10,000 others in the West Bank and Gaza). Of those residing in Israel, about 5,000 live in East Jerusalem and 4,500 in Nazareth. The largest communities in the Palestinian Authority can be found in Bethlehem and Ramallah.
The Maronite Church is a Christian community of Syrian origin, most of whose members live in Lebanon. The maronite Church has been in formal communion with the Roman Catholic Church since 1182 and is the only Eastern church which is entirely Catholic. As a Uniate body (an Eastern Church in communion with Rome, which yet retains its respective language, rites and canon law) they possess their own liturgy, which is in essence an Antiochene rite in the Syriac language. The Maronite community in Israel numbers about 7,000, most of whom live in the Galilee. The Maronite Patriarchal Vicariate in Jerusalem dates from 1895.
The Greek Melkite Catholic Church came into being in 1724, the result of a schism in the Greek Orthodox Church of Antioch. (The term 'Mlkite' dates from the 4th century and refers to those local Christians who accepted the Definition of Faith of the Council of Chalcedon and remained in communion with the "Imperial" see of Constantinople.) A Greek Catholic archdiocese was established in the Galilee in 1752. Twenty years later, Greek Catholics of Jerusalem were placed under the jurisdiction of the Melkite patriarch of Antioch, who is represented in Jerusalem by a patriarchal vicar. The present population of the Greek catholic diocese of Galilee is more than 50,000; the diocese of Jerusalem- which also includes the West Bank, Jaffa, Gaza, South Sinai and some other territories- numbers fewer than 3,000 people.
The Syrian Catholic Church, a uniate breakaway from the monophysite Syrian Orthodox Church, has been in communion with Rome since 1663. The Syrian Catholics have their own patriarch (resident in Beirut), and since 1890, a patriarchal vicar in Jerusalem has served as spiritual leader of the small local community there and in Bethlehem, which totals about 250. In July 1985 the community consecrated the new patriarchal church in Jerusalem dedicated to St. Thomas, apostle to the peoples of Syria and India.
The Armenian Catholic Church separated from the Armenian Orthodox Church in 1741, though previously an Armenian community in Cilicia (in southern Anatolia) had been in contact with Rome since the Crusader period.
The Armenian Catholic patriarch is resident in Beirut, because at the time, Ottoman authorities forbade residency in Constantinople. A patriarchal vicariate was established in Jerusalem in 1842. The Armenian Catholic community in the Holy Land numbers much fewer than 1,000 members- about 200 in Jerusalem, with other small pockets in Haifa Nazareth and Ramallah. Though in union with Rome, the Church has good relations with the Armenian Orthodox Church and both co-operate for the benefit of the community as a whole.
The Coptic Catholic Church has been in union with Rome since 1741, but only in 1955 did the uniate Coptic Catholic Patriarch of Alexandria appoint a patriarchal vicar to Jerusalem, where the community today numbers about 30.
The Chaldean Catholic Church is a uniate descendant of the ancient Nestorian (Assyrian) church. Its members still preserve the use of Syriac as their liturgical language. It was established in 1551, and its patriarch is resident in Baghdad. The community in Holy Land numbers no more than a few families; even so, the Chaldean Catholic Church retains the status of a 'recognised' religious community. Since 1903, the Chaldeans have been represented in Jerusalem by non-resident patriarchal vicar. Of major significance for the Catholic Churches in the Holy land, was the signing, on the 30th of December 1993, of an agreement between the Holy See and the State of Israel that lead to the establishment of full diplomatic relations between them a few months later.

What's in the bag? TSA reveals frightening items found at airports
Guns, knives, inert explosives common finds at U.S. airports
Every day Transportation and Safety Administration officers find unusual, and sometimes dangerous, things in checked luggage and even carry-on bags.PHOTO: TSA
The administration tracks what is found, where it's found, and also posts photos of many of the items on the TSA blog here.PHOTO: TSA
This media gallery shows just a fraction of what workers find, such as this machete and throwing knives, which were found at airports in Denver and Baltimore.
One of the more unusual finds recently was this AT-4 rocket launcher found in a checked bag at Latrobe, Pa. in Dec. 2012. A TSA official said the single-shot launcher had recently been expended and was of no danger. However, it did surprise TSA workers.PHOTO: TSA
This was another surprise waiting for workers – a sword hidden in a cane. This was found at the airport in Baltimore, Md. in Dec. 2012.PHOTO: TSA
Guns are often found in carry-on bags. Here's a look at guns found during a two-week period from November into December of 2012. The airports where the items were located are noted at the bottom of the image.PHOTO: TSA
Again, these guns were found in carry-on bags at airports around the country.PHOTO: TSA
In some cases the guns were loaded and some even had chambered rounds.PHOTO: TSA
The TSA says you can travel with a gun, but it must be in your checked bag, it must be declared and it must comply with local rules and regulations.PHOTO: TSA
The TSA posts this message on its blog: "Unfortunately these sorts of occurrences are all too frequent which is why we talk about these finds. Sure, it's great to share the things that our officers are finding, but at the same time, each time we find a dangerous item, the throughput is slowed down and a passenger that likely had no ill intent ends up with a citation or in some cases is even arrested. This is a friendly reminder to please leave these items at home."PHOTO: TSA
There are rules for traveling with firearms. They are posted here.PHOTO: TSA
During this two-week period, TSA found 70 guns in carry-on bags at U.S. airports. Most of them were loaded.PHOTO: TSA
The TSA also finds many knives, such as the ones shown above. One was found hidden in the sole of a shoe at Salt Lake City. Another was found hidden in a belt buckle at Fresno. And another sword cane was found at Baton Rouge. All of the items were found in late Nov. 2012.PHOTO: TSA
A lipstick knife (Salt Lake City), belt buckle knives (Bradley and Houston), a pocketknife in a gum tin (St. Paul) and a box cutter taped to the side of a bag under a liner (Sacremento) were all found during the same week in Nov. 2012.PHOTO: TSA
Often, knives are concealed in strange places, such as this pocketknife found in a chip canister in Nov. 2012 at Austin.PHOTO: TSA
This knife is non-metallic. It was found during a passenger pat-down after a body scanner detected something at Salt Lake City. The TSA blog says, "The passenger stated he was trying to get the knife through security and was arrested on a federal charge."PHOTO: TSA
This pocketknife was found wrapped in foil and concealed inside a plastic bottle of foot powder at Detroit.PHOTO: TSA
Here is another sword cane (Akron), a lipstick knife (Fort Lauderdale) and a "credit card knife" (Albuquerque). All of them were found in early Nov. 2012.PHOTO: TSA
In July 2012, these daggers were found concealed in a brush and combs. The brush dagger was found at Omaha, while the comb daggers were found at Rapid City and Baltimore.PHOTO: TSA
The week of Dec. 7, 2012, four inert grenades were discovered in carry-on bags at Chicago O'Hare, Dallas, Houston, and Juneau.PHOTO: TSA
These inert devices are a common find, such as this one found in a checked bag at Las Vegas in late Nov. 2012.PHOTO: TSA
However, not all devices are inert. This is a live flash bang grenade. It was found in checked luggage at Northwest Florida Regional Airport in late Nov. 2012. On the TSA blog, it states, "Along with the grenade were 20 rounds of improperly packaged 7.62mm ammunition. After a 42-minute evacuation, checked baggage operations resumed."PHOTO: TSA
Some items are just downright confusing, like this wired shoe. It was found at Los Angeles in late Nov. 2012. Officials said it turned out the shoes are designed to store energy.PHOTO: TSA
This is a pen pistol. It was found, unloaded, at Allentown, Pa. the week of Nov. 23, 2012. At first the passenger claimed it was only a pen, but later admitted it was a gun, the TSA blog states.PHOTO: TSA
In Oakland, TSA came across this strange watch. The watch is a homemade piece of steampunk art, but it caused confusion. The watch was not dangerous, but workers had to be sure. An explosive detection team had to clear the item. The TSA blog states, " Please take a moment to think about what you're traveling with and how it might appear to TSA."PHOTO: TSA
Have you ever seen one of these before? It's a stun cane. It's just a stun gun attached to the end of a cane. This one was found at Cleveland the week of Nov. 23, 2012.PHOTO: TSA
Here's a look at some more firearms discovered in carry-on bags that same week.PHOTO: TSA
This is a replica of a claymore mine. It was found in a checked back in Tulsa in mid Nov. 2012. Even though it was just a replica it created problems for workers, the passenger and other travelers at the airport.PHOTO: TSA
This might look like a phone, but it's not. It's a stun gun. It was found in mid Nov. 2012 at Reagan Washington National.PHOTO: TSA
And here, you may be starting to detect a theme, are more guns found in carry-on bags around the country the same week in Nov. 2012.PHOTO: TSA
Again, some of these guns were loaded and some had chambered rounds.PHOTO: TSA
Throwing stars, like this one found during a pat-down in Atlantic City in Oct. 2012 are also common finds.PHOTO: TSA
This "six-bladed star of death," which is a throwing star with six folding knife blades, was found in July 2012 at Los Angeles.PHOTO: TSA
It's hard to imagine what TSA workers thought when they saw this. It's a training detonator and was found during a pat-down search in Charleston. It turns out the passenger was an instructor who forgot the item was in his pocket.PHOTO: TSA
In late Sept. 2012, workers found this machete at the airport in Albany.PHOTO: TSA
And here is yet another round of handguns, not an uncommon find at all in carry-on bags at airports around the U.S. These were all found the week of Sept. 21, 2012.PHOTO: TSA
The TSA blog states, "This is a friendly reminder to please leave these items at home. Just because we find a prohibited item on an individual does not mean they had bad intentions, that's for the law enforcement officer to decide. In many cases, people simply forgot they had these items."PHOTO: TSA
Occasionally younger passengers draw the attention of TSA. These "seal bombs" were found in the carry-on bag of a 12-year-old in Seattle in Sept. 2012. A seal bomb is a small explosive that resembles a large firecracker, according to TSA.PHOTO: TSA
This is a live blasting cap that was found in a passenger's carry-on bag at Redmond, Ore. in June 2012. Blasting caps are small explosive devices that trigger larger blasts. The passenger in this case was arrested by local law enforcement.PHOTO: TSA
And while the odd items do pop up, guns are the primary offenders of TSA rules. Again, here are more, all confiscated the week of June 15, 2012. They were found in carry-on bags.PHOTO: TSA
This syringe actually stuck a TSA officer who was searching a bag at Tucson in Oct. 2012. "This is one of the reasons our officers ask if you have anything sharp or dangerous in your bags before they search them. For the safety of our Officers, please be sure to be mindful of any sharp or dangerous items in your bags," the TSA blog states.PHOTO: TSA
This odd, and sharp, item, which some Trekkies may recognize as a compact version of a Klingon Bat'leth, was found at LaGuardia in May 2012.PHOTO: TSA
And sometimes weapons are found in the strangest places – like stuffed animals. There were three disassembled guns stashed in stuffed animals at an airport in Providence in May 2012. All of the components were there to assemble a fully functional loaded firearm, according to TSA. The TSA says this is also an example of why they've made changes to how they screen children 12 and under.PHOTO: TSA
Among the items seized above is a speargun (at the top of the image). It was seized at Raleigh Durham in May 2012.PHOTO: TSA
And you may take a walker to be perfectly harmless, but this walker hid something deadly – a knife. The walker-mounted knife was found at New York's JFK Airport in May 2012. TSA said it's also another example of why they have to check even the most innocuous articles.PHOTO: TSA
We hope you have enjoyed this look at some of the items TSA workers have found at airports across the country.PHOTO: TSA
If you have any questions about TSA rules and what's prohibited while traveling, you can check the TSA's "What You Need to Know Before You Go" tips on this page.PHOTO: TSA

I have two of their boxes. A single, and a double. Both are insulated and have louvered doors. The single has sliding side windows. The double has louvered side windows. When I go to hunt tests the boxes always get lots of attention on the way they are made. Very heavy duty. Used in very cold temps to very warm. Insulation keeps dog comfortable. 100% satisfied.
We have a 2 hole and love it. We've had it for 3 years now and it's held up very well. 100% satisfied with both the quality of the box and the experience working with the people during the building process.

My mentor had them build him an 8 hole. The insulation in it was awesome. Nice craftsmanship too.

New York City residents and community leaders are speaking out about a rash of anti-gay hate crimes in recent weeks. On Friday, October 1st, a group of men in Chelsea were saying goodbye when Andrew Jackson, 20, yelled a slur along with five other men, telling the group to go home. They then punched the victims, and Jackson hurled a metal garbage can that struck two of the men, according to the report. Jackson is currently the only man arrested so far and is charged with multiple counts of assault as a hate crime. On Sunday, October 3rd, two men attacked a gay man at the Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village. The victim was using the bathroom when 21-year-old Matthew Francis of Staten Island asked him what kind of bar it was. When he answered that it was a gay bar, Francis responded with a slur and tried to take money from him before he and Christopher Orlando, 17, pushed him to the ground and punched him. Francis is charged with assault and attempted robbery as a hate crime. Authorities said "the safety and welcoming atmosphere of those places were tainted by violence and hatred," according to the New York Times. The Stonewall Inn is the famous bar that sparked the gay rights movement through an uprising in 1969, and Chelsea is known for its large gay population. Late this week NYC Police released information on a series of brutal anti-gay attacks on three men in the Bronx. Eight people have been arrested in connection with those crimes and police are seeking a ninth suspect. The New York Times provided detailed coverage of the Bronx anti-gay crime spree involving several young gang members reportedly beating and torturing two 17-year olds and a 30-year old, all believed to be gay. New York City Council Speaker Christine Quinn called the incidents, "among the worst hate crimes she had ever heard of. It makes you sick," she said. Quinn also called the attacks "vile" and "horrifying." New York City Mayor, Michael Bloomberg said at a Saturday press conference: "When you hear the details of what occurred, torture really is the only word that comes to mind. I was sickened by the brutal nature of these crimes and saddened at the anti-gay bias that contributed to them," Bloomberg said. "Hate crimes such as these strike fear into all of us." The Times reports, "the charges included abduction, unlawful imprisonment and sodomy, all as hate crimes. 'These suspects deployed terrible, wolf-pack odds of nine against one, which revealed them as predators whose crimes were as cowardly as they were despicable,' Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly said at a news conference." Meanwhile local advocates are planning a vigil tonight to denounce the recent hate crimes: Queer Rising will hold a "Take Back the Night" march on Saturday October 9 from 8:30-10pm that will begin at W. 25th Street & 9th Avenue and end at the legendary Stonewall Inn. This march will be done in solidarity with all anti-LGBTQ hate crime, suicide, bullying, and murder victims.
We must stand up for our rights and show that we are not less than. We deserve to be treated equally and with respect. We will not be bullied, we will not be attacked any longer. We will take back the night. Executive Director of the NYC Anti-Violence Project, Sharon Stapel was quoted by the Associated Press as saying: "We have to stop thinking that it's OK to bully LGBT people or make fun of LGBT people. What we see now is the link between casual sort of comments and the real and horrific violence that results because those comments contribute to an entire culture of violence," she said. GLAAD is extremely troubled by these hate crimes and thanks the local media for investigating the attacks. We'll keep a close eye on further media coverage as police continue investigating. If you are the victim of a bias crime please contact the NYC Anti-Violence Project for assistance.

We've had lots of requests for 2011 workshop handouts to be posted. Those we are able to post are now up, available to anyone who attended SiWC 2011.
You'll find the page here: http://www.siwc.ca/notes2011
Username: siwc
You'll have to guess the password, but if you were there on Friday morning this year, or if you have your conference pen handy, you'll know exactly what it is. Please note it's all lower case with no spaces between the words. If you can't think what it might be, feel free to email me at kathychung at siwc dot ca, and as long as you were an attendee at the conference, I'll send it to you.
Happy writing!

Firstly. There is that section of the general public which, knowing that we are governed by representative institutions, and that every citizen, however humble, is more or less responsible for the well-being of the State, yet regards public affairs with apathy; and, absorbed in personal interests, is absolutely ungrateful of its citizens' duties.
Secondly (and for this section it appears to me that no reprobation can be too strong). We have a party of men through- throughout page: 79 out South Africa, by education and natural bias, Liberals; by public profession, Progressives; men who on their own showing see clearly the evils of Retrogressive and Monopolist principles, and who constitute part of our so-called Progressive Party. These men, in spite of their profession, are continually found, as public men and leaders, using the subtlest methods of the Monopolist, coquetting with any and every party which appears likely to aid them to office and power. Without the genius of the Monopolist, they sink to his opportunism for the attainment of the smallest ends; as page: 80 private individuals they oppose such progressive measures which would entail inconvenience upon themselves, personally or locally, and connive at certain retrogressive measures when doing so confers benefit upon themselves, without the true Retrogressive's excuse of earnest conviction. It is these men, whether politicians, progressive farmers, or enlightened commercial men, to whom we should naturally look for deliverance from the evils which oppress the Colony; yet it is exactly these men who in some instances have made possible the despotism of the Monopolist, and the triumph of the page: 81 Retrogressionist, by their complete absorption in their own small aims, and their wilful disregard of impersonal obligations. The Monopolist may be organically incapacitated for seeing further; the Retrogressionist, in spite of his sincerity, cannot see further; the so-called Progressive sees further, but refuses to act at any cost to himself. Such men are the bane of the country.
There is, however, yet another section of our community distinct from all those we have noticed. It is to this section, I think, that we must look to inaugurate a truly Progressive movement in Colonial affairs. page: 82 And this brings us back to the question with which we started: HOW IS THE RETROGRESSIVE MOVEMENT IN THE CAPE COLONY TO BE STAYED?

Reorder Experiments and Trials in PEN/Project Warehouse
There are cases where users may want to reorder their Experiments and Trials after they are uploaded to NEES. Currently, there is no way to do this other than downloading your complete file structure in PEN, deleting it in the warehouse, renaming folders then re-uploading the whole folder system again.
We should introduce a method to order experiments similar to how you can order authors. Then, we can remove the "Experiment-#" and just display the titles.

125 High Street
125 High Street
Boston, MA 02110
Map It!
Located just a block away from the heart of Boston's Financial District, One Twenty Five High Street enjoys both a commanding site in the downtown area and a border to what will become the City's most prized public space at the completion of the Central Artery/ Tunnel project. The project, commonly known as the Big Dig, will replace Interstate 93, which currently runs through the center of the City, with approximately 25 acres of public gardens. The artery will be placed underground and has been designed to handle the City's growing traffic needs. It is considered the largest and most complex highway project in American history. One Twenty Five High Street will benefit from a close proximity to both the access ramps to the highway as well as the garden space.
The property, which totals approximately 1.5 million square feet, encompasses a full city block bounded by High, Oliver, Purchase, and Pearl Streets. Its fantastic views of downtown and the harbor and its proximity to Interstate 93, the Massachusetts Turnpike, and South Station make it a highly desirable location.
One Twenty Five High Street, designed by Jung Brannen Associates, was completed in 1991. With a footprint of 2.5 acres, the complex is composed of two office towers and a renovated 19th-century building, all connected by an 11-story glass atrium. The Oliver Street Tower is comprised of approximately 504,000 square feet distributed on 21 floors, while the High Street Tower rises 30 floors for a total of 920,832 square feet. The complex is further complemented by 131 Oliver Street, a 6-story, 40,000-square-foot building. Although the three structures are connected, each features its own entrance and lobby. In addition, its parking garage consists of five underground levels, which accommodate 849 cars.

Let's talk about the above poll!
Yes, but if E2 sucks, I'll stop.
Let's talk about the above poll!
I feel a great disturbance in the Force.
I would only stop collecting if the scuplts and overall material quality slipped. It's nice to see Hasbro kinda taking clue from the fans as to what they would like to see while keeping the overall marketability of their products in mind.
I can't wait to see what is in store in the coming year. All indications show the releases to be quite promising.
Kudos to all involved!!
I agree with Master Jedi. The Episode 1 glut really sucked and all but it really didin't make me want to stop collecting. Plus had I quite collecting Hasbro, I wouldn't have been able to experience the new figures coming out!

"Two in the box, ready to go, we be fast, and they be slow!"
Check out my art at The Terrace Room!
I wonder what EpisodeIsucks' opinion on this is? I have cut back on my toy collecting since TPM, but Hasbro still gets some of my dough these days.
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
I stopped when the influx started. After finishing up the original Episode I wave I kindly found better ways to spend cash.
For me the magic was between 95 and the release of the original Episode I figures, but since Hasbro flooded the market with kazillions of Episode I figures, and various variants I became disgusted.
I do like the new figures however, and continue to buy the ones that really interest me. I'm just praying that we don't have clones of Attack of the Clones figures showing up until 2005.
Jar Jar
It would take either a nuclear apocalypse or a full frontal lobotomy to get me to stop collecting SW figures. No matter how many figures I own I'm never satisfied, I'm always thinking "okay, what's next?"
Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split. - Robert E. Howard
I had toyed with the idea of only continuing to collect original trilogy figures once EP I came out, but I never considered stopping altogether. And once I heard about the May 3rd sale, I couldn't stay away. Though the unneccessary rescuplts and just bad ideas (Deluxe Figures, Commtech chips, Hungry Hero Jar-Jar, price hike...) of the Ep I line annoyed me, the quality of the toys has just gotten better. It would take a lot to stop the momentum now.
I'm still collecting Hasbros Star Wars toys but not as much as I did before due to a high price tag
''You fool, my reach is far greater than the Jedi.Only a Sith can wield the force over such a great distance.'' - Darth Sidious
No way I'm stopping! Since '95 I've got 2 of each figure and most vehicles. With Ep2 coming up and the vast improvement in character selection and sculpts, it's gonna get really good!!
My only question in all of this: what happens after Ep3? How many waves will there be after they release Ep3? Then what. I'm hoping for Eps 7,8 &9.
Shoulda just called it Attack of the Killer Clones

Stay alert at Downtown Campus crosswalks
By James M. Benavides
Public Affairs Specialist
(Dec. 5, 2008)--Pedestrian safety remains a key issue at the UTSA Downtown Campus. With academic buildings on both sides of Frio Street, transitioning between the two parts of campus requires crossing Frio Street at a mid-block crosswalk. High vehicle traffic along Frio Street makes this a potentially hazardous prospect.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy
Article tools
To enhance safety at the mid-block crosswalk, UTSA officials are working with City of San Antonio traffic engineers to implement various improvements.
Meanwhile, the Downtown Campus community is reminded to use the following pedestrian safety recommendations at all crosswalks:
- Be alert for vehicles that may not stop for you.
- Make eye contact with drivers if possible to be sure they see you.
- Never presume drivers will yield to pedestrians when crossing at an intersection or a mid-block crosswalk.
- Do not take phone calls or text messages as you prepare to cross the street. Focus your attention on the street.
- Put away newspapers or books. Look both ways before crossing the street.
- Turn off personal audio devices. Listen for approaching traffic and emergency vehicles.
- Never cross a street where there is no crosswalk. A pedestrian jeopardizes his or her safety when crossing outside of a crosswalk zone.
- Yield to drivers at intersections where the pedestrian does not have a "walk" signal and where vehicles have a green signal.
- Take care not to suddenly move into the path of an approaching vehicle that does not have sufficient time to yield.
- Walk on sidewalks where they are provided and accessible.

Looking for a seafood dinner? Then check out this flavorful fish and vegetables skillet recipe that is ready in 20 minutes.
This attractive combination of brown rice, fish and vegetables, prepared in one skillet, minimizes clean-up time.
Like instant long grain white rice, instant brown rice has been partially cooked and dehydrated, so it cooks quickly. It is a good choice for a skillet meals with fish, which also cooks quickly.
Another mild fish, such as sole, can be used in place of the orange roughy.
Fish is done when the flesh is flaky and opaque and the juices are milk-white.

Code: 320-139-52
Stock level: available
Despatched within: 5 working days
Collection: Comic Book & Geo Prints
Fabric code: 139-52
Composition: 65% cotton and 35% polyester
Width of fabric: 140cm
Colour: satin cappuccino
Features: double sided
from £13.00
Width: When measuring for the width of eyelet curtain remember that the width of the fabric will reduce with gathering. It is therefore recommended to measure the pole and multiply its width by 1.5 to 1.7 times and divide this by 2 to calculate the required widths of individual curtains.
Drop: For eyelet curtains the drop is measured from the pole to the window sill or the floor . Add 2 cm to the drop measurement to allow for the fabric above the eyelet. For extra long curtains that pool on the floor add 20 cm to the drop.
Standard 130 cm wide eyelet curtain with 8 eyelets.
The external diameter of each eyelet is 6 cm, the internal diameter is 4 cm and the distance between eyelets is 11 cm.
The bottom of the curtain is finished with an overlock seam. Standard size curtain is supplied with iron-on hemming tape to allow quick and easy adjustment of the drop of the curtain without professional help. Simply use the tape and hot iron to hem at the required drop.
The hem on the sides of the curtain is 2 cm wide.
The external diameter of each eyelet is 6 cm, the internal diameter is 4 cm and the distance between eyelets is 11 cm. The number of eyelets per curtain depends on the width.
The available colour choices in eyelets include: silver, black, gold and vintage gold.
The bottom of the curtain is hemmed. The width of the hem depends on the drop of the curtain:
- for curtains up to 200 cm long the width of the hem is 5 cm
- for curtains over 200 cm long the width of the hem is 10 cm
The bottom of the curtains is also finished with weights in the bottom corners of the curtain, to improve the hang and keep the curtain in position.
The hem on the sides of the curtain is 2 cm wide.
The width of the curtain made to measure is the width before gathering. Please allow extra fabric for gathering.
Curtains over 130 cm in width are made out of two or more pieces of fabric. This is due to the standard width of fabrics (140cm) available from fabric manufacturers. This is a standard practice in the industry, the patterns are matched across the pieces of fabric and this does not affect the quality or the look of the finished curtain. This may not apply to a small number of fabrics that are supplied in rolls that are 280 cm wide.

License transfers used to be very expensive in the past. I don't know what current Autodesk policy is... But from now on, it is a must to be on support, for many many reasons. Get regular upgrades, get support for new file formats. These days, every version, flame supports new file formats.
Does anybody have the luxury to say, "Our flame can not work with arriraw, but the other shops can."? It was the old days, you had a digibeta, and anything else wasn't needed... You could stay on your version for 3-5 years, and could love your sgi box. These days, even 5 months is slow for an update.
So my suggestion, whatever you do, don't buy a flame, which you can not upgrade.Kuban Altan

Do you ever find yourself not wanting to do anything so it stays neat?
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Do you ever find yourself not wanting to do anything so it stays neat?
Yes , I do have the "oh but I don't want to mess it up " feeling... but it never last long... same for the neat studio.
Wow..that is a huge, wonderful studio. It think it would take me awhile to mess it up where I would no longer be considered "neat".
I did feel that way tho when I recently redid my studio.
When it seems like the world is falling to pieces remember that the pieces are falling into place. We are nearing closer to the End Times.
nope......Because, No matter what i do it will never be as immaculate as yours.. lol..
When mine is cleaned up I always look over "there" where the what's-it used to be and think, where oh where did I put that???
Beautiful space! I would love to mess it up for you.
Never had that problem. Somehow I get inspired when I "neaten" my space. Right now I am destashing and it feels so good that I have become very productive. Hope to give away some yardage tomorrow that will never get used by me. Some of those "what was I thinking" fabrics.

It's a beautiful neat studio and yes I wouldn't want to mess it up but it would only be a few hrs and that would be all it takes. I do hate to mess it up it seems to take so long to clean it up. Happy cleaning again. Sue
I will help you to mess it up too, just let me know when you are going there.....
Sorry I can't answer that as mine has never been that neet, but it sure would be nice. You are giving me ideas...
