Devaluing of the dollar occured by borrowing copious amounts of money, with no intention of paying it back. Sort of like California's IOUs. I don't like taxes anymore than anyone else, but when you launch a $80 billion/month war, and continue to spend like a drunk sailor in port, AND cut taxes (first war-time tax cut in history) you're basically telling your creditors, "good luck...we ain't payin!"
I *think* we can agree on that?

Only 2 presidents have been impeached by congress, Andrew Johnson and William Clinton. Neither were convicted by the senate. Nixon resigned under pressure, the first president to do so. I hope our current president follows suit, maybe to run for some other office like savior of Kenya.
It was easy for Clinton to make progress on a budget, he didn't do anything to keep this country safe and mostly focused on how to keep his @$$ out of hot water while continuing to get blow j... err indiscretions in the oval office. Of course Bush had to actually spend some money to fend off the worst direct attacks this country has ever had.

Had Bush stuck with fighting the people who actually attacked us, the cost would have been less. Had he said that the cost of invading Iraq was to actually pay for the war, he never would have been permitted to attack. In fact, the administration decided that the deficit didn't matter because the bill wouldn't need to be paid until after Bush left the White House.
So he spent a trillion dollars on a war outside of the budget. He budgeted for another half trillion dollar per year deficit. And he played games with the tax cuts by writing the laws to have the cuts expire in 2010 (that is, he planned for taxes to increase back to their original levels) to conceal the actual cost of those cuts, which would be several hundred billion dollars per year that was never included in any of the budget forecasts prepared by the Bush administration. Bush bankrupted our country for short term political gain. At the time of his last budget, Bush estimate deficits of over $500 billion per year. If you added the war cost and the cost of continuing the tax cuts into that equation, the deficit would have been $1 trillion per year even before considering the cost of the $750 billion stimulus program implemented by Bush in 2008. The reality is that there is no way to reduce the deficit without allowing many, if not most, of the Bush tax cuts to expire as the Bush budget assumed.
the economic crisis is almost over, at least obama stimulous is working. This is how the white house measures success these days...

Don't start praising Clinton's success record in conflict. He ignored most threats and attacks. For example the USS Cole and the Embassy bombing. He was also in charge when operations in Somalia began (aka Blackhawk Down) and we are still there too. Nation building takes time, unfortunately we live in a 'I want it now' society. I hope I am wrong about Afghanistan. That land has been fought over for centuries. The Russians couldn't control the territory. How can you measure success if you can't hold the land? There are numerous stories of success in Iraq and many untold stories. Everyone still wants to use Cold War deterrence methods to measure success. That is not the world we live in today. The only deterrent we now have is our word that when we say we will act we actually carry through on our statement. It is very convenient to use hindsight when your decision is no longer popular, however when we stop carrying through on our promises then we will no longer be the standard bearer for freedom in the world. That will be a sad day even if it is "popular."

PRINCEVILLE, Kauai, Hawaii -- Picking the right golf resort can be the difference between a wonderful vacation and just a so-so time.
It's never an easy decision where to spend your hard-earned money and days off. Thankfully, there are never really any "wrong" decisions when the destination is an exotic tropical island like Kauai.
There are subtle difference in the three resorts I visited in May, the St. Regis Princeville Resort, the Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort & Spa and the Kaua'i Marriott Resort. Here's a look:
St. Regis Princeville Resort in PrincevilleWho fits in best: Golfers, couples.The inside scoop: Princeville is one of the rare American golf destinations (think Bandon Dunes, Pebble Beach, Whistling Straits) with two top-100 public courses on site. Recent renovations to the Prince Golf Course and Makai Golf Club, two Robert Trent Jones Jr. designs, have both in prime condition.
The Makai offers more ocean views, while the Prince rises and falls through the jungle. Each facility is trying to become more beginner and family friendly as well. The driving range of the Prince Golf Course transforms into a six-hole beginner course starting at 4 p.m. The overflow Woods nine of the Makai Golf Club isn't as crowded and costs less than the renovated 18 holes with five ocean holes.
A multimillion-dollar rebranding and renovation in 2009 transformed the former Princeville Hotel into one of America's best golf resorts. A personal butler assigned to each of the 252 rooms can make just about anything happen, from packing and unpacking your bags to running errands. I saw children walking around the St. Regis, but the place just oozes with such extravagance, I'd much rather take just my wife than the whole family (your wallet will thank you). Although the new pool along the beach is nice, there are no toys like a water slide or splash zone for youngsters. The north shore overlooking the scenic Hanalei Bay feels quite secluded, which is a blessing for couples looking to get away.
Book St. Regis Princeville ResortBook Tee TimesPrince Course 18 hole Virtual Flyover
Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort & Spa in KoloaWho fits in best: Families, couples.The inside scoop: The sprawling 602-room Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort & Spa on the south shore might be the island's most versatile property, especially after a $45 million renovation completed in 2011.
Golfers will love Poipu Bay Golf Course, a wind-swept RTJ Jr. course that hosted the PGA Grand Slam of Golf from 1994-2006. Several holes on the back nine run along cliffs on the Pacific Ocean. The resort feels like a giant garden of palm trees and exotic plants. Native flora and fauna accent the open-air walkways.
Kaua'i Marriott Resort in LihueWho fits in best: Families, golfers.The inside scoop: Convenience is king at this fine 345-room Marriott located just a short shuttle ride from the Lihue Airport. You don't need to rent a car. Everything is nearby. Those who want to get away from the 800-acre resort can walk to a nearby shopping plaza stocked with restaurants and bars.
Secluded hot tubs complement a spectacular pool, one of the largest in the Hawaiian islands. Major upgrades part of a $50 million renovation finished in 2010 have the resort's pool deck, guestrooms, suites and restaurants sparkling.

Ironically, the words are the worst part of Brian Klugman and Lee Sternthal's matryoshka-doll-like gimcrack. Here we are treated to three supposedly brilliant examples of narrative prose that, in fact, suck (on the other hand, given the success of Fifty Shades of Grey, maybe sucking is a good thing). Clay Hammond (Dennis Quaid), a bestselling author, reads his new book to a packed hall of rapt fans. Mercifully, the film fades from the turgid reading to the story itself, in which Rory (Bradley Cooper), also a writer, publishes a manuscript that he finds by chance and achieves instant success. Then it enacts that story, a tearjerker in which an ex-GI in Paris marries a Parisian girl and writes about it, producing the lost manuscript. And then there's another novel that. . . . Self-reflexive and post-modernist though this may be, it's just a long way around the block to package three drivelly scenarios and underscore a common Hollywood confusion between hackneyed, manipulative sentiment and genuine art.

In theory, and the EU, they can be interesting. They're outside the law and all have specialized skills, plus they're aliens (most of 'em).
But I'm not one of those going for ALL the bounty hunters.
In the movie, none of them except Boba Fett does anything. There are a lot more characters, including other aliens, that actually DO something or if you forego some of the hunters, you're left with other figures that can set the stage for other SW environments.
Now some people's favorite thing are the bounty hunters. And that's cool.
I voted for IG-88 besides Fett. IG is a Droid and so few of them are making our list (the Gonk Power Droid is on my shortlist for the "environment figure" as it fits in everywhere - but IG-88 is more interesting as a hunter). And Boba Fett does need competition, and it looks like he had to fight IG-88 off-camera during ESB, because IG's parts are in the Bespin smelting room when Chewie rescues Threepio. On top of that, Mandalorian-armored Clones versus the war droids is central to the prequel trilogy, and there's not too much difference between IG-88 and IG-86.
Now if Bossk hadn't already made the list from a lot of other people's votes, I might have prioritized him over the Ugnaught - but I like the idea of wild variances in shape and sizes of my SW characters. (Too bad Jabba The Hutt doesn't qualify as a "figure" for this poll). Anyway, the Ugnaught sets the stage for Bespin like the aliens for the cantina and the Ewoks for Endor, the Jawas (and Tuskens) for Tatooine and the skiff guards for Jabba's. That's the same thing like the Gungans, Podracers, Senators, Kaminoans, Geonosians, Utai, P'auns, Polis Massi, Mustafarians, and the miners. Kind of have to have them to recreate play where your intention is for the action to take place.
Anyway, after all my explaining and dialogue, I'll repost my list so it's clear:
1) TIE Pilot
2) Luke X-wing
3) Grand Moff Tarkin
4) Ponda Baba
6) Death Star Trooper
7) General Veers
8) Ugnaught
9) Endor Rebel Solider
10) Logray
11) Weequay
12) Leia Endor

best way to do it. then you're in the hot seat
If they are far enough apart I will go to the hen tree after dark and flush them out of the area. Then the next morning I have the gobblers to myself without all that female interference.
Most evenings I setup and call (using turkey calls not locater calls) usually on a ridge or point where hearing is good. I find gobblers will frequently hear my calling, start moving my way and roost closer to where I want them in the morning without hens.
On occasion a gobbler will come in offering a shot; then he gets roasted instead of roosted.
All day hunting is legal in WI and I don't quit hunting until the buzzer.

Stephen Zunes, Professor of Politics and Chair of Mid-Eastern Studies at the University of San Francisco, says rather than military intervention, nonviolent resistance combined with targeted international sanctions will force the Syrian government to negotiate with the opposition for a transfer of power to a democratic majority.
Although the impulse to try to end the ongoing repression by the Syrian regime against its own people through foreign military intervention is understandable, it would be a very bad idea.
Empirical studies have repeatedly demonstrated that international military interventions in cases of severe repression actually exacerbate violence in the short term and can only reduce violence in the longer term if the intervention is impartial or neutral. Other studies demonstrate that foreign military interventions actually increase the duration of civil wars, making the conflicts longer and bloodier, and the regional consequences more serious, than if there were no intervention. In addition, military intervention would likely trigger a "gloves off" mentality that would dramatically escalate the violence on both sides.
Even putting aside the recent historical record, however, virtually anyone familiar with Syrian politics and history can recognize the fallacy of such foreign support for the armed struggle.
Many nonviolent protesters have tragically been killed, as will many more. However, proportionately a far greater number of armed resisters have been killed and will continue to be killed. The question is not whether thousands will continue to die but what is the best way for the Syrian people to overthrow the hated regime, end the violence and bring democracy and social justice.

Hancock animal shelter seeks volunteers
KILN, Miss. — Hancock County authorities have seized 182 animals from a property in Kiln.
Sheriff Ricky Adam said Sharon Merritt, 59, and her boyfriend, Todd Klibert, 55, each face multiple animal cruelty charges as a result.
Authorities told the Biloxi Sun-Herald (http://bit.ly/17tMto5) that about three-fourths of the more than 80 cats seized Wednesday were euthanized because of contagious respiratory illness.
Toni Accardo, director of the Hancock County Animal Shelter, said most of the cats were feral and difficult to catch. They were found in enclosed sheds with no ventilation, water or food.
The remaining cats must be quarantined until given an all-clear by the vet. Foster homes are needed for those, she said.
Besides the cats, authorities seized 10 dogs, 41 rabbits and a number of chickens, ducks, turkeys and quail.
The female rabbits were housed in pens with males. "Some of them look like they're ready to have babies any time now," she said.
Accardo said the shelter was 75 percent full so the additional animals put them over capacity. She hopes to begin adoptions for the dogs, rabbits and poultry next week.
Until then, the shelter needs volunteers as well as puppy pens and pads, food, water and food bowls and toys.
For more information, call the shelter at 228-466-4516.

Wang to discuss Digital Study Hall, April 25
Posted April 20, 2006; 11:54 p.m.
Randolph Wang, an associate with Microsoft Research India, will speak at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 25, in the Friend Center auditorium about a project that seeks to help children living in poverty in India.
The topic of his address is "The Digital Study Hall: An E-Learning System for Improving Basic Education in Third World Countries."
"Good primary education is one of the most crucial factors in combating extreme poverty," said Wang. In the Digital Study Hall, computer scientists and education experts collaborate to build a distance-learning system for students attending resource-starved schools in rural villages and urban slums of India. The goal is to provide the same kind of educational opportunities enjoyed by middle-class students.
Wang is a former assistant professor in the computer science department at Princeton, where he started his work on the Digital Study Hall.
The talk is part of a lecture series on "Technology for Developing Regions" sponsored by the School of Engineering and Applied Science.

nice work.. figure looks great. was thinking of making alot of custom stuff next year since there will be huge gap of product in the Star Wars line (which is okay cause my wallet could sure use the break).
Looking for CW 2010 Sidious and TX-20...if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. thanks
Target's clearancing once again, and GIJoe gets marked down... not very much at all. All I found on clearance were a bazillion of the exclusive 4-packs (Snake Eyes, Duke, and two Neo-Vipers); $13.98 at one store and $9.98 at two other stores. No markdowns on the first wave mini-vehicles, which are still rotting on shelves, or the Pit, which takes up half a bloody aisle by itself.
Really, aside from the one store I referred to a few posts back, every store on Earth has several of these things. If they don't clear them out soon, it could become hazardous.
That's my jacket!
For those waiting to buy the Rise of Cobra P.I.T. Mobile Command Center, rejoice. Just found this info at another site:
Find the PIT on sale for $59.99 at the KOHL'S website, where entering codes "Extra20" & "NoCharge" gives you 20% off and Free Shipping, bringing your total to $47.99 (before applicable tax)!
I just ordered one.
Aaaaaaand... having read that, I just ordered one and will be returning the other one to a store I really don't like giving business to, anyway (Wal-Mart). Especially not when they're about $20 more.
That's my jacket!
I need some G.I. Joe questions to send to Hasbro ASAP so any help would be appreciated!
I feel a great disturbance in the Force.
Have holiday sales altered any ordering on future Alpha vehicles?
Are there mroe battlefield stations like the Wal-mart exclusives on the way?
What sort of unveiling calendar will there be for mid to late 2010 given the close proximity of ToyFair and mid-Spring JoeCon?

Yet another FLAGG question:
Given that the GI Joe movie which had a USS FLAGG in it (however briefly) made a few hundred million dollars in worldwide gross, that the Resolute cartoon (which had a USS FLAGG play a prominent role) was well received, and that there are rumblings of another animated series in the works, what else needs to happen to get Hasbro to start planning for a rerelease of the largest and in some cases most sought after toy ever?

Seeing Tycho's Steel Crusher a few weeks ago, and TRU had it on sale, I decided to pick it up. I'm not thrilled with owning a Hummer H2 toy, but it's kinda cool that it has the flip-down shield and fold-out mini-missiles. It's an ok toy, but it feels like it needs 1 more something to really be GI Joe. Maybe that's more interior space, maybe it's another gimmick (there's clearly a neutered weapon attachment at the top, a corresponding hole to hold it in the rear bed), definitely a rear slide-out bumper deck so figures could stand on the back. But it's an ok toy, well-sculpted and fun. The figure is pretty bleh though, his helmet shield looks terrible and he's 1 color, has no weapons.
After seeing how plain the figure was and how wasted the top hatch was, I decided to put a mainline figure in there with him, so I hit WM for the $5 sale. I ended up picking up a Neo Viper for its array of weaponry. I wanted the Crimson version, but it was sold out at WM and had accessories which didn't fit my needs. Then I saw a single Pit Commando, and having read about his accessories, I had to try it too. And once I did that, I figured it'd be a goof to add Helix to the mix since she was on the pegs and had ok accessories. So, in the course of 2 days, I went from no movie toys to multiples.
I'm a little surprised at how constricted the arms on these figures are, it's been over 25 years we've been playing with GI Joe ARAH figures and they still can't hold their weapons all that well, much less 2-handed. The sculpting still looks very obvious, but they're decent GI Joe figures. I would have liked to have seen more range of motion on the waist, I know it's not an O-ring anymore but still, I got a lot of action out of that particular joint. All in all, this line doesn't feel like an improvement to me. Some of the paint is better, some worse. Some sculpting better, but mostly it's on-par with the last decade of Joe. There are very few vehicles I'm interested in now, which is tragic as that was the Joe line's best aspect, but these designs largely are overpriced, undersized, and uninteresting.
It definitely was flimsy as hell, but look at the mountain of stuff you got with it for $15:
playset with 2 axes
comic book
5 figures
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.

Peter J. Larson & David H. Olson
In comparing dating couples living together versus apart, the differences were dramatic. Only 21% of the dating couples who are living together were Vitalized, compared with 51% of the dating couples who were not living together. Even more telling, 48% of the cohabiting daters were in the Conflicted range, compared with only 16% of those who were not living together.

Black beans are a protein and fiber packed source of carbohydrate that can help to contribute to meeting your daily fiber needs. In addition, legumes such as black beans are a very important food source in vegetarian diets, as they provide plant based protein and are a good source of iron.

Black beans can be purchased dried or canned and are available all year long.

*Based on a 2,000 calorie diet

Canned beans can be part of healthy diet. However, they are rich in sodium. In comparison to dried beans, canned beans contain around 420mg of sodium in one-half cup serving versus only 1mg of sodium in dried varieties—that's extremely significant. In addition, according to the National Bean Institute, dried beans contain about 8 grams of fiber and 8 grams of protein, a 30-50 percent increase as opposed to canned beans.

Health Benefits of Black Beans

Black beans are an excellent source of fiber (both soluble and insoluble). Fiber rich diets can help to keep weight at goal, aid in weight loss, and reduce the risk of heart disease and certain cancers.

Black beans, like other legumes, also contain resistant starch. This means that the carbohydrates in black beans are slowly converted to glucose, some of which is not digested in the large intestine at all. Research has shown that replacing rapidly-digested carbohydrates (such as white rice) with legumes can improve glycemic control in people with diabetes. Consuming foods high in resistant starch may also improve digestive health, including promoting healthy gut flora. Resistant starch may even improve insulin sensitivity. It is important to note that canned beans likely have less resistant starch then dried beans.

Black beans are a very good source of folate, which is responsible for producing red blood cells and plays a role in preventing neural tube defects.

They also are a very good source of manganese, magnesium, and thiamin, and a good source of potassium and iron. For those people who are vegetarians and rely on beans as a source of iron, it is good to know that eating foods with vitamin C, such as citrus fruit and tomatoes, helps to increase iron absorption.

Common Questions About Black Beans

Can you eat beans on a low carbohydrate diet?

Low carbohydrate diets is a loose term we use for people who are trying to reduce their carbohydrate intake. Your total daily carbohydrate requirements will vary on a variety of things, such as activity level, gender, weight, and perhaps blood sugar control (if you have insulin resistance, or diabetes). If you are looking to reduce your carbohydrate intake you can still eat beans, however, you should be mindful of your portion. Consider that a one-half cup serving of beans contains about 23 grams of carbohydrate. Therefore, you'll probably want to keep your portion to about one serving to keep carbohydrates low.

How much sodium is reduced when you wash beans?

Canned foods can serve as a convenient, inexpensive, and useful way to purchase food. But because canned foods do have a longer shelf-life, they are often rich in sodium, as sodium acts as a natural preservative. The good news is that simply draining and rinsing beans can reduce sodium significantly. Simply draining beans can reduce sodium of up to 36 percent, whereas, rinsing and draining can reduce sodium by 41 percent. Therefore, if one-half cup of beans contains about 400 mg of sodium, draining and rinsing the beans can reduce the sodium content to about 236 mg.

Picking and Storing Black Beans

Beans can be purchased dried or canned. It is more cost efficient and healthier to purchase dried beans when you can, but if you purchase canned beans, make sure to drain and rinse them thoroughly before use.

Most dried beans need to be soaked in water before use. Soaking softens and rehydrates the beans, reducing cooking time. In addition, soaking them helps to remove some of the substances that can cause digestive issues, such as flatulence and gas. Before cooking, discard the water.

Healthy Ways to Prepare Black Beans

Beans can be used pureed as spread, in soups, as a base for protein, and even as an addition to baked goods such as brownies and breads to add protein and fiber. Use black beans to serve as a side dish, to spread on whole grain bread, as a sandwich or potato topper, or as a dip for vegetables. Add beans to salads, stews, and soups for additional iron, protein, and fiber.

I'm looking for the 12" Jango Ultimate Villain, I think that's the only "hole" in my collection these days.
I'm looking for the 12" Jango Ultimate Villain, I think that's the only "hole" in my collection these days.
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
A friend just raided a pallet at a Wal-Mart in Lancaster and got me a set of the Legacy collection! He says they are now ringing at the register.
UPDATE: Nevermind, they gave him the "recall" excuse and took them away. When he called me, he thought they would ring because he had scanned them and the machine displayed the price. I told him "that doesn't mean they'll ring at the register!". Oh well, at least he got more GI Joe wave 9 at the same store and he'll pass me the BAT and the Snow Serpent.
Let me explain things:
1) Your relationships and marriages will not last. Your kids will rebel against you and estrange themselves eventually. They'll come back finally when they're in trouble.
2) Your career will most likely never give you permanent satisfaction. There is always crap going on with the workplace because it most likely depends upon other people, and they all have other crap going on in their lives.
3) Buying a wave runner (use allowed only during daylight hours and when the weather's to your preference), training in martial arts (most fun when there are others hanging around at the dojo waiting for you to beat them up), or even watching TV (pathetic, considering most of your programming choices) are never as accessable or fulfilling as having a Star Wars collection to reference about while posting online, to inventorize when you get a chance to dig into stuff you got some satisfaction from buying, etc. Star Wars is available at all times, in any weather, and DOES NOT have to be a completist obsession that you guys stress over.
Your life is going to suck and then your health will decline - all of you. It's just happened to me somewhat earlier.
Right now, you have Star Wars. It offers you a few more options (versus say...suicide - I have "my plan" just in case). You will always have Star Wars and it could be every bit as accessable as you need it to be.
Give it up - and you are more of a loser, your life sucks more, and really, you can buy a handgun and ammo with a credit card if you want to "do yourself in" anyway.
But I've considered this: we're also ALL going to die. Might as well take the perks you get here and now - and Star Wars is one of them or you wouldn't be here.
Don't give up your collection. You won't have anything else. Instead, enjoy it and adapt it to be that much less stressful (for you obsessive completists).
It's not worth crap as an investment and most of us on this site have everything you could offer anyway, but TO YOU, if you let it, your collection could be PRICELESS and it could SAVE YOUR LIFE as it saved mine.
That was meant to be inspirational, but with a possibly terminal illness, how inspirational do you expect me to be? C'mon guys. But I hope I made some sense.

Well said, Tycho.
Couple of thoughts though...one reason to dump a collection which has no significant resale value is when you absolutely must downsize due to living arrangements. if you can't afford storage and you live in a small place, a large collection will have to be divided up somehow.
I am realizing this all the time, and my wife laughs at me every time I tell my kids they have enough toys and we aren't going to buy something every time we go to the store. What's the point in amassing a huge (1000's) collection that you can't display? The money I could have saved to put into my new house will now be lost to mass-produced plastic that I frankly don't care about that much. I am ready to dump a lot of my Hasbro stuff, especially prequel stuff. I went through the completionist period, and am ashamed that I did, especially when they aren't even worth face value anymore. Dumping Hasbro to focus on SS or GG is a good thing I think- but even with my modest GG collection, I'm just not interested in filling every shelf I have with a statue. Sometimes less is more. The fact that we've made it relatively easy to find everything (compared to kids who don't use the forums), means I can have instant gratification- but I think that I have suffered a bit because of it. If it's not hard to obtain something, you tend to buy things you might not really want- and then you just have it to have it. Personally, I'm keeping my vintage figures from childhood- they don't take up much room and they have a ton of sentimental value.
Just saw Dark Knight- what an awesome film. I wish I had seen it in a better theater, but am glad I didn't wait for DVD- that would be a disservice to the medium. It's nice to experience a work of art amid all the summer junk. I'm talking to you Indy 4! You sucked!! Not even Blu-ray with bonus features can save your sorry ***.
Thanks for your sentiments.
And I totally agree with what Jango Speck said about The Dark Knight and in comparison to Indiana Jones. Dark Knight is so worth multiple viewings.
It's like a Star Wars film in that there's multiple-multiple parts I want to see over again -
Alright. This isn't the Batman thread. I just can't stop thinking about that movie!

- Description
Animal, vegetable or mineral? Taking a walk along a sandy beach, one might assume that what one is stepping on is mineral. Until one examines the shingle underfoot, then, does one realize that it comprises mostly parts of animals !
Singapore island is only 40km wide, so the nearest sea coast is at most 20min drive from anywhere. I often go to beaches to comb, photograph or sample shingle (shell and coral debris) from the intertidal zone of beaches. The ecological diversity of the inter-tidal zone habitat can be estimated from the comfort of one's home, by the many species of coral, mollusc and other marine invertebrates represented amongst the shingle fragments and micro-shells.
The nature and composition of such shingle gives an indication about the health of the marine environment. This particular shingle sample was taken from a beach just next to Changi Airport. Recent land reclamation on a nearby island could soon alter the composition of beach shingle. Hence this Gigapan is a snapshot of this habitat's health.
The sample was scanned on Canoscan 9000F flatbed document scanner at 1200dpi in two passes and stitched with GigaStitcher. As a reference, the dimensions of this entire scan area are A4 (8.5in x 11.7in or 216mmx297mm). The most common shell, the Button Shell (Umbonium vestiarium) typically ranges from 5-10mm in diameter.
Here's another sample taken from the same beach a year earlier. The samples are similar: gigapan.org/gigapans/80112/

Edgewood College baseball player raises money for friend
Marc Ostrowski raises money for Huntington's disease research
MADISON, Wis. - As the Edgewood College baseball team swings into another season, one Eagle is working to raise money to help a friend whose family has battled Huntington's disease.
"I have a reason for why that made sense for me to put my time and effort into this," said junior outfielder Marc Ostrowski.
The story for Ostrowski, 20, begins with his childhood friend, Tim Layer, growing up outside of Chicago.
"Tim and I went to preschool together, and we have been friends a long time though school. Tim has the most positive outlook on field of any person I know," Ostrowski said.
Several years ago, Layer's dad died of Huntington's disease, a fatal, genetic brain disorder that leads to cognitive and physical decline. Layer's older brother has the disease, and Layer has a 50 percent chance of getting it as well.
"It's very under the radar and a lot of people just think, 'Oh, Lou Gehrig's disease,' and it is similar in the way it impacts the brain, but it's different," Ostrowski explained.
The marketing major decided to do something about it. With the help of friends in colleges across the country, he founded Camp Earth to raise money for research and awareness for Huntington's disease.
"Our slogan -- the whole big thing is finding a cure through adventure," Ostrowski said.
Camp Earth raised $10,000 in the summer of 2011. Some members even biked across the U.S. to raise money.
This year, with more than 20 members from seven schools, the hope is to raise more than $100,000.
"At my age, you feel bulletproof, and if I weren't here tomorrow, would I be happy with what I did up to this point?" Ostrowski said.18539346
The Edgewood baseball family has embraced Ostrowski's mission, helping with fundraising leading up to their home opener at the end of March.
"We talked about baseball being a game of failure and, well, that is life. You get knocked down and you get back up, or you choose to stay down, and this fits right in. This is them taking that and saying, 'I get knocked down, and I can help him back up. And we can keep going, and maybe I will hit a double out of this,'" said Edgewood College baseball head coach Al Brisack.
"If you ever are down in the dumps, you think how positive he (Layer) is and he's a good friend to have," Ostrowski said.
The Eagles' home opener is at 3 p.m. March 29 at Stampfl field in Verona. For more information and to donate, people can go to Camp Earth's website.

Hello all,
I am really stumped on this one!
I have had, sitting on my shelf for years, two vintage vader figures. They are both complete and in very good shape.
I was looking at them the other day and noticed a huge differance between the two!
#1 one is taller then the other! Only by a hair but enough to be noticeable.
#2 Thier feet are differant. The taller one has more of a slender, point to them while the shorter is rounder.
#3 The taller vader's vader has a thicker point on his saber and is just a shade darker then the shorter ones. The shorter one has the usual hair thin saber point and the lighter red that Im used to seeing.
#4 The shorter vaders head has what Id describe as "rounded" facial features. The tusks are virtually non existant and the cuts "details" are not as sharp as the taller one.
#5 On the back of thier legs, One has G.M.F.G.I. 1977 HONG KONG. While the other is marked G.M.F.G.I. 1977 but it does not have the Hong Kong mark
Does anyone have any answers for me? I would really appreciate it!
Thanks on advance.

text: Migration Info Orchard Orioles arrive on the U.S. Gulf coast in late March or early April, with the largest concentrations occurring from eastern Louisiana to northwestern Florida. Most of the migratory birds of the eastern United States show a more or less clockwise annual pattern, moving north in spring on a westerly track and south in the fall along the Appalachians or the Atlantic coast. Orchard Orioles, on the other hand, take a more easterly route in spring than in fall. This may be partly related to the fact that the Orchard Oriole's "fall" migration takes place well before the onset of autumn weather patterns; these birds move south during midsummer and can be found in large flocks in Mexico by mid-July.

Call me crazy but I've been listening to Green Day's American Idiot for a while now. It is one of the best albums I've heard in a while. The CD hasn't left my player in weeks.
3 Doors Down, Nickelback, and Godsmack inbetween listening to the Cubs game (non music)
2015 RFL Thank You to, TeeEye7 & Slicker, JediTricks, Tycho, El Chuxter, and Darth Jax!!!!
Be an organ donor, save lives!
Coldplay's "X&Y" has been in for nearly a month straight. I keep on thinking I'm nearly listened out, but I can't seem to get it out of the player. Some very nice echoes of older U2 stuff on there. It's a very lovely record.
I've got a burned CD of the Bloodhound Gang in right now. Just a bunch of the good songs (good to me at least).
Up, up, and OKAAAAY!!!
Yes, I heard the new Bloodhound Gang song "Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo" on the Alternative Music Choice channel a few days ago. I couldn't remember the K word, so I was looking it up today and came across the lyrics. They were hilarious. Some euphemisms I hadn't heard before.
Today I listened to the three Karate CD's I have. Their debut, In Place of Real Insight, and Unsolved.
Thank God the new Bloodhound Gang album will be later this month.
Finally something new to listen to.

I've been flipping between a few CDs :
Green Day's American Idiot and Kerplunk
My Chemical Romance - Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge
ROTS Soundtrack
Treat your stepmother with respect Pantera, or you'll be sleeping in the streets!!
Stillborn by Black Label Society thanks to that great Yahoo music site JT told us about.
Listening to Possibilities by Herbie Hancock. Not a huge jazz fan, but it's pretty cool, and I picked this up mainly for one song: Jonny Lang and Joss Stone covering U2/BB King's "When Love Comes to Town." A very different arrangement, but still very cool. If Jonny and Joss parlay this into romance, they could potentially have the COOLEST KIDS EVER that Janis and Jimi were meant to have way back when.
That's my jacket!

Take the practicality and functionality of your average backpack, kick up the quality a notch or three, swirl in some progressive style, and wrap it in superlative environmental friendliness, and you'll wind up with the Green Guru Spinner Backpack. Made entirely of recycled materials — such as its trademark discarded bicycle inner tubes and PETE fabrics — the Spinner comes in at a just-right size of 1368 cubic inches (or 22 liters) but is lightweight to boot, at just 1lb. 5oz. (or 879 grams).
The Spinner Backpack's breathable, mesh-lined shoulder straps promise comfort, the removable waist strap keeps the pack from bouncing around, and compression straps on either side of the pack keep bulk and cargo in check. Gusseted side pockets and a rear-facing reflective and reinforced daisy chain all boost utility.

Ducks, geese and upland birds
Doves, pheasants, ducks, and geese in that order. I also run AKC field trials and hunting tests with the same dogs I hunt
50% upland - 45% waterfowl... 5% geese & those are just the dumb ones that fly too low... Vizsla, best dang dog I ever had! in between dogs this season. In the batters box is a Brittany & possible Boykin (my wife has mentioned several times she likes them)...
My Chessie doesn't seem to care what we are hunting.
Ducks, geeese, pheasants, quails, grouse, turkeys, hares, bears, steers, queeres, deers, elks, mooses, shoats, goats, antelope, hogs, cats, rats, if it flys it dies- if it runs it's done.
Prolly forgot one somewhere regards

It would be interesting to add another vote column...which is "don't hunt birds". I know there have been threads before about what percentage of field trial dogs also hunt. As gooser said earlier, I too have been chastised for hunting my trial dog....ie, "you will ruin that dog hunting it, especially on pheasants." Anyway, I hunt virtually everything that flies, with a dog that I also run in trials. It seems to me the dog knows the difference and still will run lazer lines on a blind in a trial after a season of quartering hunting pheasants.
First year duck/goose hunter here. actually didn't go out goose hunting at all so I guess just first year duck hunter.
got one hen turkey under my belt in the 3 years I've been hunting them. missed a tom this spring. ran/crawled/belly crawled about 200 yards in an open field after two toms messing with a hen. the field was real hilly and they were on the other side of the hill. belly crawled to within 30 yards only to shoot over one of the tom's. looking back, I never looked down the barrel of the gun but just but the bead on him instead. would have been the perfect ending but I screwed up!

Started with a Springer then added a lab, now I have a GSP (8), a Gordon Setter (6), & a Springer (1.5). I started hunting Pheasants & doves and a jumping potholes for ducks, then got the pointers and started Sharptail hunting, now I field hunt ducks and geese (75%) and set up on some transitions sloughs (25%), Sharptail, Doves & Pheasants. I hunted just about every weekend this year from the middle of August and will have to quit on the 6th of January when the pheasant season ends. We hunted ducks and geese in 18 degree snow filled fields this year laying out with white tyvek suits on using some blanket blinds. My 1.5 year old springer was retrieving in the slush one morning. My 16 year old loves to duck hunt, I would rather pheasant hunt. I would like to hunt some flooded timber one day though.
Went on my first bird hunt this year! I had a blast. I will be getting a good pair of waders and going again next year. This year happened to be a duck hunt but I would love to try hunting other birds.

WDNR measures winter; Winter conditions are considered mild if the station accumulates less than 50 points, moderate if between 51 and 80 points, severe if between 81 and100, and very severe if over 100. Many northern stations have already exceeded severe. The main concern is the stress on the deer herd. However, turkeys experience the same stresses in some areas the turkeys are worse off than the deer. Because turkey hunting is a fringe activity compared to deer hunting in WI the vast majority of resources go to the deer side of the equation. I don't expect to hear much about winter conditions effects turkeys from the DNR. What does it matter? We can't do anything to help the turkeys now.
Last night I put up a long post on www.charlieelk.com explaining the index and the WDNR manager's take on it and the feeding of wildlife.
Is anyone else been out looking around to see how the turkeys are faring?
In unit 4 I've found evidence of dead turkeys. No way to tell how many because unlike a deer carcass turkey carcasses disappear quickly. All manner of predators and scavengers devour them. (crows, fox, coyote, wolves, cougars, heck even chickadees and nuthatches.) Perhaps a spot of good news is the predator population takes a bigger hit during conditions like this than the prey does. That is nature's way of "speeding up" the prey's recovery.
We could see a lot fewer turkeys come spring. Namely fewer young hens, jakes and the most senior gobs.

Evil has come to PS3 – you can get your hands on the demon-slaying demo now on PlayStation Store, so check out our exclusive guide to staying alive in Sanctuary.
Sanctuary needs a hero
Before you begin your quest to banish evil from the world of Sanctuary, you'll need to decide what kind of hero you want to play as. This demo lets you choose from two of the five character classes available in the full game – Barbarian or Wizard – and whether to be male or female. The type of character you choose depends on how you want to play the game; Barbarians rely on brute strength and heavy weapons, covering themselves in armour to get to the heart of the battle. Wizards use arcane power to cast spells, summon mystical energies to heal themselves and use their magical powers to take out enemies from a distance.
Search for the fallen star
Your journey begins at the beginning of Act 1 as a mysterious light appears in the sky above the town of New Tristram. Depending on which character you have chosen, you'll discover details of what has brought you to New Tristram, and what drives you to discover the truth about the fallen star. As you enter the town, the stench of death fills the air; undead walkers roam the land – giving you the perfect opportunity to test out your new powers. Initially, you'll only have one attack to perform, using the CROSS button, so take out these vile creatures and see what your character can do.
A town under attack
As you approach the town, speak to Captain Rumford who will tell you a little more about where the star crash-landed and send you on the first part of your quest – to find Leah, the only survivor from the cathedral that the star destroyed. After dispatching more of the undead that start attacking you, the gates to the town will be opened to let you pass. Once inside, you can speak to any of the townsfolk to learn more about their plight and meet the merchants and healers who will be invaluable to your quest later on. Useful people will be marked on your mini-map, along with your current quest to find Leah.
Your first taste of loot
Outside the Slaughtered Calf Inn, you'll find a stash chest containing the first pieces of loot for you to collect which will prove invaluable for the fight ahead. Inside the chest are weapons, clothing, amulets and rings, each with a particular power that will aid you in different ways. Below each item you'll see icons for its attack, defence and health attributes; green triangles next to these icons indicate that it will improve that ability, while red triangles indicate a drop in stats. Move any of these pieces of loot into your inventory to equip them to your character, then head inside the inn to meet Leah.
It's good to talk
Important people to your quests will have a bright yellow marker above their heads. Find Leah to find out more about the undead, then search for Captain Rumford again who will tell you what you can do to help. Before you do this however, take some time to search your surroundings; interesting and valuable clues can be found everywhere, like Leah's journal that will provide not only more information, but a boost to your XP and maybe even a few gold coins. The Captain will send you on your first quest outside of the town, to destroy the monsters he believes to be the source of the evil, so be prepared for a fight.
Become more powerful
As you battle the monsters that are plaguing New Tristram, you'll earn XP – indicated on the yellow bar in the bottom left corner of your screen. Every time the bar is filled, you'll level up, granting you access to more powers and abilities. It won't be long before you reach level two; when you do, press the SELECT button to bring up your character's inventory, then choose the skills menu to discover your new powers. These could be active skills or, as you reach higher levels, passive skills and runes which grant you even more powerful abilities.
The road to hell
The road out of town will lead you into ever more perilous areas, teeming with increasingly dangerous and diabolical monsters. Survival will rely on knowing how to use your attacking and defensive powers to defeat the different creatures you'll face, so each time you level up be sure to practise your new abilities. This demo will take you all the way to level nine and allows you to carry your saved character over into the full game when you upgrade and continue your quest to rid the world of evil.
Could you be the saviour that New Tristram is crying out for? Download the free Diablo III demo from our online store to your PS3 to find out...

Travel Day:
We left Atlanta Thursday evening at 6:55 and landed in Spokane Washington around 11:00 that night.
On the way to Priest River Idaho which would be our base, we swung by the Washington tract just so we'd know where we were headed later that morning. Got in bed at 1:30 their time (4:30 eastern time)
Day 1:
Slept for 2.5 hours and woke up at 4:00. I thought at first it must be a full moon but then realized it was already getting daylight. We hustled over to the Washington tract excited to begin the hunt. On the way over we had a hen cross the road which we took as a good sign. The property looked great, lush green fields and timber but no birds were in view. We worked down the road bordering the fields and checked out a few other areas we could see on our Google map. Did not hear a bird and had a bad feeling come over us. The weather was great and the place looked great but no sound or sign of turkey.
Drove back to town and visited the Newport Ranger Station. They tried to help us but did not seem too confident but we checked out a few places they suggested……could not strike up a turkey.
We decided to head back to Idaho and work towards Priest Lake 27 miles north of Priest River. As we drove back thru Priest River we saw 2 gobblers and several hens in an empty lot right in the middle of town near a store. We sat and watched them and even made them gobble a few times and then headed to the Ranger Station in Priest Lake. The staff there was great and indicated there were plenty of turkeys around but they didn't seem all that confident in what they circled on our maps either.
They did warn us that 7 grizzlies were using the meadow in one place they suggested and not to walk the back of the meadow. They mentioned that most of what they had seen was on private property so we checked those out with a plan of doing some door knocking if we found birds.
We worked numerous dirt roads not only in the areas they suggested but any we could find. Drove past numerous meadows that just looked like turkeys should be in them but not a sign of a turkey. Saw a couple of moose and plenty of deer.
In all we drove out a tank of fuel and spent 15 hours searching and riding for turkeys and did not see a bird.
Next morning we got up at 3:00 and headed back to Priest Lake to see if being there earlier would make a difference. Worked our way thru and back to Priest River without hearing or seeing a thing and went to a McDonalds. What appeared to be a Grateful Dead follower was sitting at a table reading and decided he wanted to talk to us. Once we told him we were turkey hunting he made mention of a place where he thought turkeys might be. Nice guy but something was strange about him and he wanted to ride with us. We figured there was only room for two psychopaths in our truck and we didn't want another sitting behind us while out in the middle of nowhere so we just thanked him and left.
Saw our two priest River City birds and messed with them again and headed out for the place the guy mentioned. Once we got to where he said to go there was no such road or turn off he had specified so we continued searching new roads. At one dead end we saw a house and a man in the yard so we pulled up and talked to him. We noticed he had a Glock under his shirt so of course we used our best manners. He mentioned that he had a gobbler that sometimes used his yard but mostly was across the river which was hard to get to.
We left there with a new mission which was to find a way to get to the place he said we couldn't. After driving and probing for a few hours we found the far ridge we had seen from his place. They had been cutting timber and it had tree trash spread out all along the mountain sides. We would have to cross and go down thru this to see if we could get to the river edge. We took off and it was brutal. Once we fought our way down it was nothing but marsh so we had to begin the agony of climbing out. Can't even describe how tough this was.
We begin driving again and followed another road to a dead end and a new ranch when we saw 6 gobblers in mans green field not far from his house. I knocked on his door and he flanked me by coming out another door and circling around. Can't be too careful I suppose. He would not let us hunt his property but was nice…but firm about it. Told us you can hunt either of the distant ridges that bordered his property but not on his.
We spent the next 3.5 hours trying to find a way to get around and back to his property edge. We found a way but pulled out really not wanting to shoot his birds if we could find others and we would be pretty close to his house.
Decided we would make the drive to Bonners Ferry which is 20 miles south of Canada and borders Montana. While eating a burger there the lady told us we might try to get info at the Far North Sporting Goods store since the ranger Station was closed on Saturday. Two guys who were customers shared what seemed like good info and made some new marks on our maps. Told us if we saw bears to shoot up in the air and that it would turn black bears and probably grizzlies. We took off again with a little confidence and actually saw a few jakes on one private tract and a couple hens on another.
We began a walk thru a public land tract and immediately ran up on bear and wolf tracks. Still could not find any sign or hear any birds. While walking out we both started having a feeling something was watching us and then heard a twig snap. I kept my hand on my Frontiersman Bear Spray as we were on the edge of thick dark timber. As we came around a tight turn we came face to face with a grizzly that was 30' away and he reared up and roared. I emptied the bear spray in his face and he dropped down coughing and blowing snot wads everywhere…Wesley immediately delivered a couple of bone crunching gun stock blows to his head which stunned him while I hooked around behind him and fired off a couple kicks to the groin region..tried to get him in a "rear naked choke hold" while he was stunned but my arms were'nt long enough…………….Okay….maybe this didn't happen but this story needs something and this is what we would have done if the situation arose.
Did not hear or see a thing as it got dark and headed back to Priest River and to put our 3rd tank of gas in the truck. 16 non stop hours with nothing to show for it....actually 31 at this point
Got up at 3:00 again and decided we now would go after the private lands birds and had a guess where they might be roosting. Our mission was to call them across two fences, a creek, and under the third fence and onto public land near the road we drove in on. Seemed feasible? They were where we thought they would be so we took off down a steep mountain side. About ½ way down we came to a shear drop of rock for about 8'. While I was thinking what to do Wesley's feet slipped and he skied down the rock and landed on his feet. Having no choice I sat down and slid down as well and we set up on the birds with 35 yards between us and the fence. The birds gobbled their heads off but surprisingly would not complete the obstacle course required for us to shoot them.
We finally gave up and drove up a stretch of road and kept searching for birds and ended up back in Priest River. We pulled back up and started watching the city birds again. Now we were desperate and began contemplating going to Wal-Mart and buying a bow and arrows and shooting one of em. Worried that anything we shot might fly into the store parking lot with an arrow sticking out of it with our fingerprints kept us contemplating and we shot down the pellet rifle option as well and decided we'd have to pass on the city mascots.
We decided to run back over to Washington and try and talk to the landwoner. We did and then found out that someone had been hunting the place and had killed 3 gobblers and they had not been seeing birds for a while...that explained that so we left Washington for the final time.
We decided then we would call and change our travel plans to come back a day early. We had not seen or heard one bird on public land and had determined that there were only 8 gobblers in the state of Idaho and we were looking at two of em.
We also decided we would go back to the private land birds…..make the hike to get around to their roost site and hope we could coax one under the fence there or get one when they came to roost. This is what we were down to. We worked down a creek thru very bearish looking terrain and I kept the spray handy. At noon we set up and made a blind and spent what ended up being 8 hours with our Idaho mosquito buddies…didn't bring a Therma cell.
The birds came pretty close and would gobble but would not drift close enough. Realized maybe we were late in season and they had grouped up and although they would gobble…..they wouldn't come. (It should be noted we could have slaughtered these birds had we been willing to shoot thru the fence into the man's field. But we were not about to do that)
Finally as roost time approached one of the birds that had roosted off to the side started coming and crossed the fence and came up the ridge where we were. Mr. Phelps promptly made him pay for this and after 45 hours of searching, probing, hunting, and over 2 tanks of fuel, we had a bird lying at our feet. A gorgeous bird and we at least would not come back empty handed.
This is the first time in 10 years I have been on a travel hunt and not killed a bird but surprisingly I wasn't depressed about it. It was beautiful country and I do regret not taking more photos. Plenty of snow capped mountains and wildlife. Like I said to Wesley prior to killing the bird; You can't find a needle in the haystack if there isn't a needle in the haystack but we're too crazy to know when to quit so we start looking in another stack.
