Quality build, nice bright light, easy installation under cabinet. The fixtures we replaced were plastic framed and were rotting after only two or three years - right where it mounted to the cabinet. One just fell off. These fixtures are made of metal, T5 bulbs are efficient and bright. Switch is on the fixture, if you need one. Eco plus - Pegasus shipped them with water-soluble p-nut packing. I tossed them on the compost pile instead of sending them to the land fill.
Pros:Quality construction and bright white light. Perfect for over the stove or sink.

Exactly the desired profile
May 24, 2014
This size is exactly what I had in mind for the lighting project. The mounting hardware and slots make it a 'snap' to install. One item I had not considered is that the on/off rocker switch is on what I would consider as the left side of the fixture; no big deal, but a bit of a surprise.

I've only test-lit these units, but all three that I ordered worked perfectly out of the box. All components seem well designed and constructed.
Pros:Compact design, should fit anywhere you need a small fluorescent light -- under counters, inside cabinets, etc.

Only Pegasus had what I was looking for (I checked around hard) And at a great price!
April 13, 2014
I was seeking a replacement for a simple design compact slim profile 13" fluorescent light (-GE) that upon returning from away I found wouldn't light! Thinking it was just a bulb problem I bought one spare for but to no avail. Turned out the fixture was bad and all I could do was replace it! Nobody else offered such but finally the Lord led me to Pegasus. The light is perfect for its need. Most affordable. This light will literally illuminate the yard too through the window in which the old one hung! So for $21 (with shipping) I have a perfect solution to the whole problem. I don't have to return the spare bulbs. Nor settle for dark MN! And all thanks to God and Pegasus because nobody else offered anything comparable let alone as nice. I am very very satisfied (couldn't be more)!

48" Microfluorescent Light Fixture
November 21, 2013
Our entire kitchen is lit up with these under counter fixtures, also purchased from Pegasus a few years ago. One fixture failed recently so we ordered this one as a replacement. It is basically the same as the ones we already have but a newer model with a slightly different housing. So, the original mounting clips did not fit and the new light did not include mounting clips, and we had to improvise a little! However, these lights are perfect for our particular application, the tubes seem to last a very long time and, for any handy person, it is no problem to figure out how to install them.
Pros:Lots of light, easy installation, very low profile, long life fluorescent tubes, relatively inexpensive.
Cons:No mounting hardware included, may fail after several years.

I wanted a low profile light fixture that did now require hard wiring. The lights come in a variety of sizes and can be connected to each other to accommodate almost any space. They can also be mounted directly to a surface (no need for clearance to keep them cool). I am using them on top of my kitchen cabinets. They provide much more light than the incandescent lights I used to have and I can even add more in the future if I want.
Pros:Ease of installation Variety of sizes Low profile Cool operation Linkable
Cons:Replacement lamps are a little pricey

We purchased these fixtures for under shelf lighting in workstation cubicles. We opted to mount them with Command strips/double-sided mounting tape, as the shelving in the cubicles is metal (the included hardware is for wood or drywall mounting). The light output is amazing! Some staff even thought it was a little bright, and mounted their fixtures within the front "lip" of the shelf, for a little "softer" light, which is working perfectly for them. We still have 6 workstations that are not currently unoccupied, however, once they are, we'll be back for more fixtures.
Pros:Convenient Exceptional light output

We're impressed with the sturdiness and quality of this light fixture, and have purchased an additional one to give to a relative. It illuminates the counter top area under it very brightly, and is quiet in operation. Its low profile allows it to be totally hidden under modern kitchen cabinetry. Parts were provided for several different approaches to mounting. Pegasus filled and shipped our order promptly, and it arrived very well packed and in perfect condition.

Review of NULS-18 T5 low profile light fixtures.
October 11, 2011
I purchased 3 nuls-18 and 3 nuls-23 fixtures in early 2010. The fixtures did not last as long as the light bulbs. I read a customer review on your website showing what was wrong with those fixtures. You forwarded the information to the manufacturer. I have purchased 4 more NULS-18 fixtures on 9/25/2011. They seem somewhat better in quality, or at least I hope so. I am pleased with your website. Your ordering process is easy and the fixtures arrived quickly and in good shape.
Pros:Slim line design and ability to link fixtures. Great for under cabinet usage.
Cons:Previous fixtures were of poor quality. I am hoping that these fixtures have corrected those problems.

The light in my spare restroom went out and it was going to be rather difficult and expensive to replace. I ordered this light and placed it above my vanity to use until I could get the other light replaced. The 8 watt has worked out so well that I have decided just to continue using it. The plug I use to run this fixture is tied to the wall switch so I can still use the wall switch to turn on and off the fixture by just leaving the fixture in the on position.The amount of light the 8 watt kicks out is more than enough to light up the room. I wouldn't use it to put make-up on or what have you but it is more then enough light to simply use the restroom.

Had two of the 25-1/8in fixtures fail within a month of each other. See the attached picture for what I found when I disassembled them. Also, the bulb is proprietary. Replacement bulbs are only available from Nora. Replacement bulbs are cheaply built. (metal ends twisted off when I attempted to install one). Best to go with a T-4.
Merchant Response:After receiving this review and attached images we contacted Nora (the manufacturer) with the details of this review. Based upon the pictures provided by Trent Nora tells us that it appears these fixtures had a defective resistor causing failure. They have communicated to us that they have not seen this issue before. The two fixtures that failed were originally purchased in February 2008. We worked with Trent to replace these two fixtures.
Pros:Slim design
Cons:Short life span.

53% vs. 99%. Who's right?
Answer: They both are.
The 53% tout the fact that they have worked hard to pay off their debts and maintain gainful employment by working hard and showing up to a job every day despite the fact that it isn't their dream job.
The 99% are upset that they have been taken advantage of by the greed of a few, and their situations have become increasingly hopeless despite efforts to do the right thing.
Essentially, both groups are arguing for accountability. The 53% want people to accept responsibility for choices that negatively impact them personally, and the 99% want people to be held responsible for choices that negatively impact others.
Those who are a part of the 53% need to realize that their ability to pay down debt or find a job during this difficult time could be the result of opportunities that those in the 99% have not been afforded. Perhaps they had someone give them a break along the way, show them the dangers of running up credit card or student loan debt, or they haven't exerienced discrimination due to their race, gender, etc. Had they not had that opportunity, however small it may have been, they could easily be in the same boat as those who are currently occupying Wall Street. There are many out there that have done all of the things that should result in a decent job and benefits, but they've simply been screwed over as a result of someone's greed.
But, with that said, not all of those who are a part of the 99% deserve to be protesting. You have the freedom to make your own choices in this country, but not freedom from the consequences of your choices.
If you can't find a job, it could be due to the fact that you chose to express yourself with a nose ring, visible tattoo, or by dying your hair green. I'm not saying that any of that is wrong, but you should know that you are seriously limiting your options for employment. If you want the best chance at landing a job in this world, you might have to make "expressing your individuality" a little less of a priority.
Also, if no one has told you about the dangers of running up debt, you're about to hear it from me. Stop buying crap you don't need, and stop running up student loans by staying in school simply because you "haven't found your calling" yet. Get a degree as fast as you can, work your butt off to get any sort of gainful employment, and find your calling on the nights and weekends. Not doing so is like a lion that chooses not to eat when there are zebras around, but he would prefer to hunt gazelle. You might have to do something you don't want to do for awhile to get by! As I said earlier, this does not apply to all of you occupying Wall Street right now, and many of you deserve to be upset about what has happened over the past few years. It does, however, apply to some.
At the end of the day, we all need to stop making destructive decisions. Whether they are personally destructive or destructive to others, it needs to stop. Hold yourself accountable for your actions first, and then begin holding others accountable for theirs.

I love this foundation! Feels great on the skin, and provides medium coverage. It nicely covers my acne scars, and doesn't make me break out. I use Vanilla Creme. I top with Laura Mercier's Secret Brightening Powder to set. My only (small) complaint is the packaging is a little too precious, and the neck of the bottle is a bit small, but since it's such a great foundation, I will let it slide.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I really love the natural look this foundation leaves on my face! It spreads really nicely and gives an even finish. I was also happy to find that it did not settle into any lines or accentuate my pores. In fact it minimized the appearance of my pores very well. Most importantly, the coverage is great as it covers any redness and blemishes on my face in just a few sweeps. After setting with a powder, the makeup lasts through 9 hours of work activities while still maintaining full coverage.
Before this I used Dior 'DiorSkin forever extreme wear flawless makeup' and thought it was great, but this is equally wonderful if not a tad better.
I would give this a 4/5. I took off a lippie because there's no pump, which is bad for sanitary reasons as well as being inconvenient. Also, It's lack of sun protection also bugged me since my previous dior foundation at least had spf 25. All the foundations I've used in the past offered some amount of sun protection so I was disappointed Too Faced did not include any in here.
The lack of colour selection was also unaccommodating as there are only 8 shades to choose from. I couldn't find a perfect match so I opted for something slightly lighter than my skin tone and settled for 'Warm Vanilla'.
All in all I'm very happy with this foundation and would repurchase.

Great! Im not even a fan of liquid makeup at all, but this doesn't feel like it when its on your skin! It feels light and really hides pores and doesn't look streaky or cakey (unless you put too much!). I've been on the same bottle for almost 5 months and I feel like it will last me 6. Its a cute little bottle too! I wish it had some SPF in it. Also, it looks great with Smashbox photofinish beneath and rice powder on top! :)

i recently got introduced to this by a friend of mine..and OMG am i happy she did..i have uneven skin tone and problem areas with some acne..this foundation is trully AMAZING =] its builable coverage.yet feels like your not wearing any foundation at all..i loveee that.blends into my skin like a dream..theres no foundation jawline or hairlines at all.and most of all..i notice my skin becoming flawless! its really making my skin healthier..i can definetly see myself purchasing this again and again..yes it may be pricey but for all it does for my skin i think ill continue to splurge on it =]
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
this foundation gives you an illusion of having perfect skin, coverage is not very good so if you have inperfections on ur skin you probably still need a good concealer....doesn't seem to bother my skin and doesn't give me breakouts which is a greattt!! however, the price is quite steep and i hate how it has no bump so i always ended up pouring more out than what i need........and as the weather gets warmer it doesn't stay that well on my face specially on my t zone area.....for reference i'm nc30 and i have this in warm nude......
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Nice texture, pretty good color match for me, but broke me out. Also felt like it never really set well into the skin- when I wore sunglasses, it pushed the foundation around on my nose which was very strange. I had used a light powder over it as well. Back it goes!
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I started off loving this product. Coverage was medium but truly buildable. I found I didn't need to use concealer w this foundation bc it covered my hyperpigmentation just fine. Although it says oil free it does feel oily going on the skin, and it also made me very oily after just 3 hrs. I found myself blotting and using powder 2 to 3 times a day which is more than w my bobbi foundation. I though I could deal w this bc of the amazing coverage and the color match, however 4 days into using the foundation it broke me out, like bad. I only get acne around that time of the month, but found myself w 2 breakouts days after using this foundation. So I'll be switching back to my bobbi brown which didn't make me break out at all. Its sad cuz I really loved this foundation and would recommend to anyone who isn't ance prone.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
For those with yellow undertones who want light, natural looking coverage, this foundation rocks. It blends really well and looks so natural. I have very sensitive, acne-prone skin and it has not caused any breakouts for me. I do wish that it came in a pump or squeeze bottle instead of one that pours, but Too Faced packaging is always very cute,
I apply with a foundation brush and wash it clean every morning with antibacterial Dawn. You could apply this as light or heavy as you want. Love this foundation.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I am on the look out for a good "evening out" foundation. I used Laura Mercier foundation powder (no.3) for the longest time...but wanted a liquid for a more natural look, rather than powder's airbrushed full coverage look...the LM oil free liquid foundation is crap.
After numerous liquid foundation trials; Clinique, Bobbi Brown, Mac..
Too Faced, is fitting the bill...the Warm Vanilla, is a perfect match..for my fair..yellow toned skin. Good consistency, drys nicely...over an spf ..or primer. It does what it says...nice poreless finish and build-able coverage..no need for concealer (covers hyperpigmentation).
It has a lot of ingredients.. most of them, I cant pronounce and dont appear on the zerozits.com acne ingredient list. That being said, I would not wear this every day. On a daily basis, I use RMS uncover followed by aubrey organics translucent powder (p.beige) .
I just started using this, so I will update if there are any breakouts or irritations.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Love this foundation! I would definitely say it's a medium coverage foundation, as a lot of people have said, and it's definitely buildable. I went in looking for something not quite as heavy as the MUFE HD, and the MUA suggested this, which I love her for!
The color selection isn't that great on this line, they all run yellow, which is lucky for me! I'm about a NC25 in MAC, and the Perfect Nude color matches pretty well. The consistency I think is close to the Neutrogena Healthy Skin, maybe just a bit heavier, but I don't think by much.
I love that it's oil free, it helps me with shine! I go to school in south Florida, so it's the beginning of April and already 85 degrees outside, so by the time I walk to class my face is oily. I can feel the oil, but don't see the shine in a mirror, if that makes sense. Once the humidity starts jumping back up for summer I'll probably switch back over to my Laura Mercier powder foundation during the day to help control oil.
All in all I love this foundation, and find it perfect for what I was looking for! Do wish it came with a pump though, like we all wish all bottles came with! The packaging is cute though!

President Barack Obama, A Man of the People in His Rancho Mirage, $4.25 Million, Gated Community Future Home
Rancho Mirage, California … Obama may be coming to town, there goes the neighborhood.
Rumor has it that Barack and Michelle Obama are buying a home in Rancho Mirage, CA for $4.5 million. Hmm, so is this the reason why Obama continued to tank the economy and not to get the US out of a recession so that he could buy a home after his president days in Rancho Mirage $4.25 million, when 8 years ago the same home went for 12.5 million? Oh yes, Obama is just a man of the people. When is the Left going to understand that Barack Obama is a 1%'er. He would rather be in Martha's Vineyard than mingling with the blue collar riff-raff. The White House says the "rumors" about the home are not true. Which means that they are 100% true because the Obama WH is the most lying, dishonest and corrupt one that this country has sadly ever seen.
Just curious, who thinks it is fair that under Obama millions of people lost their jobs, homes and business and he gets to buy a home like this after increasing the national debt to historic levels? Hmm, wonder what the carbon footprint is on this home?
See Pics at Realtor.com by Clark Dugger Photography
President Obama and his wife, Michelle, could be the owners of a home in Rancho Mirage listed at $4.25 million before the month is out.
The First Family is believed to be in escrow on a contemporary home in a gated community where entertainers Frank Sinatra, Bob Hope and Bing Crosby once maintained estates.
The White House said rumors regarding a home in Rancho Mirage are not true.
But area real estate agents, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the Obamas are the buyers of the Rancho Mirage home. Listing agents Marc Lange and Carl Blea of HOM Sotheby's International declined to comment.
I have an idea. If the tax payers pay for the home, can Obama move there and leave the White House Now!!!

NBC/WSJ Poll: American Public Grown Dissatisfied with President Obama Foreign Policy and National Security Decisions … 37% Approval on Foreign Policy
Obama Administration falling apart …
According to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll, just 37 percent approve of his handling of foreign policy, which is an all-time low in the survey, while 57 percent disapprove, an all-time high. In the video below, NBC's Chuck Todd shreds Obama and his poor poll numbers. This poll is nothing short of a disaster for Obama … When asked their predictions on the rest of Obama's term in office, 54% said they thought he "cannot lead and get the job done," compared with only 42% who said the opposite.
- Job approval: 41% approve – 53% disapprove
- Handling economy: 41% approve – 54% disapprove
- Country headed in right or wrong direction: 25% right direction – 63% wrong direction
- Foreign policy: 37% approve – 57% disapprove
"This is a bad poll for President Obama, and not a good poll for anybody else," said Republican pollster Bill McInturff, who conducted the survey with Democrats Peter Hart and Fred Yang.
"Whether it's [Vladimir] Putin, Ukraine, the VA hospitals, Bowe Bergdahl, the events have controlled Obama, rather than Obama having controlled the events," Hart adds. "He may be winning the issues debate, but he's losing the political debate, because they don't see him as a leader."
But it shows an American public that has grown dissatisfied with President Obama on foreign policy and national security decisions.
Just 37 percent approve of his handling of foreign policy, which is an all-time low in the survey, while 57 percent disapprove, an all-time high.
What's more, by a 44 percent-to-30 percent margin, Americans disagree with the Obama administration's decision to secure the release of U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl in exchange for five imprisoned Taliban fighters.

Judge Jeanine Pirro Blasts Barack Obama for the Bowe Bergdahl Fiasco and Demands for Obama's Impeachment … "Mr. President, You are Destroying This Country"
Over the weekend in her opening monologue Judge Jeanine Pirro blasted President Barack Obama for the release of the GITMO 5, the five high ranking Taliban terrorists, in exchange for deserter Bowe Bergdahl. But this may have just been the final straw of many scandals and reprehensible acts against the military that question whether Obama is a real Commander in Chief.
Pirro went on to shred Obama in saying the following: "And make like you respect the military. You call yourself a Commander in Chief, but what Commander in Chief does not support a surge but sends in 40,000 troops anyways? What Commander in Chief reduced benefits to those in the military, closed the Veteran War Memorial, reduced the army to pre-WWII levels, knowingly allows veterans to die in our hospitals. While replenishing the enemy in a time of war. Mr. President, you are destroying this country."
Jeanine Pirro concluded with, "You are not a true Commander in Chief. We impeached a President for lying about sex with an intern. Your actions are far more egregious. demand impeachment."
Mr. President, you did not just release them [GITMO 5] … you unleashed them!!!
Say Hello To the Five Identified Taliban Prisoners Released by Barack Obama from GITMO in Exchange for Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl … Meet the GITMO 5
The Taliban FIVE released from GITMO have been identified.
Yesterday, Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, the only living POW held by the Taliban in Afghanistan was freed in exchange for five Afghan detainees from GITMO. Barack Obama was quick to take the praise yesterday and use phrases that began with an "I". The president stated Bowe's recovery is a reminder of America's unwavering commitment to leave no man or woman in uniform behind on the battlefield, which may have the have an asterisk after it. Who is to say that terrorists do not try an do the same? As reported at TWS, now it is time to meet the GITMO 5, five of the most dangerous Taliban commanders in U.S. custody.
- Mullah Mohammad Fazl (Taliban army chief of staff)
- Mullah Norullah Noori (senior Taliban military commander)
- Abdul Haq Wasiq (Taliban deputy minister of intelligence):
- Khairullah Khairkhwa (Taliban governor of the Herat province and former interior minister)
- Mohammed Nabi (senior Taliban figure and security official)
More from The Weekly Standard: Five of the Most Dangerous Taliban Commanders in U.S. Custody Exchanged for American Captive.
The Taliban has long demanded that the "Gitmo 5" be released in order for peace talks to begin in earnest. The Obama administration has desperately sought to engage the Taliban as American forces are drawn down in Afghanistan, but those talks have gone nowhere to this point. At first, the administration set preconditions for the talks, including that the Taliban break its relationship with al Qaeda. When it became clear that this was a non-starter, the administration decided to make the Taliban's desired break with al Qaeda a goal, and no longer a precondition, for its diplomacy.
There is little hope that the peace talks will be more successful now. But the president seems to believe that Bergdahl's exchange for the Gitmo 5 (who are reportedly being transferred to Qatar) may break the ice. "While we are mindful of the challenges, it is our hope Sergeant Bergdahl's recovery could potentially open the door for broader discussions among Afghans about the future of their country by building confidence that it is possible for all sides to find common ground," Obama said in his statement.
The Obama administration says that security measures have been put into place to make sure that the Gitmo 5 do not pose a threat to American national security. Let's hope that is true; it certainly has not been the case with many ex-Gitmo detainees in the past.
Taliban Detainees Turned Over by U.S. in Bergdahl Deal:
MOHAMMED FAZL: A February 2008 Pentagon document said Fazlserved as Taliban deputy minister of defense and as a seniorcommander who was chief of staff of the Taliban army. The U.S.military said he was wanted by the United Nations for possiblewar crimes including the murder of thousands of Afghanistan'sminority Shi'ite Muslims between 1998 and 2001. It said he wasborn in 1967 in Afghanistan's Uruzgan province. According toU.S. military documents, Fazl was also on the scene of aNovember 2001 prison riot that killed CIA operative JohnnyMicheal Spann, the first American who died in combat in theAfghan war. There is no evidence, however, that Fazl played anydirect role in Spann's death.
MULLAH NORULLAH NOORI: A February 2008 Pentagon document said Noori was a senior Taliban military commander in the Afghan city of Mazar-e-Sharif during fighting in late 2001 after the U.S. invasion. It said he also was the Taliban governor for two provinces and was wanted by the United Nations for possible war crimes including the murder of thousands of Shi'ite Muslims. It said he was born in 1967 in Afghanistan's Zabul province.
KHAIRULLAH KHAIRKHWA: A March 2008 Pentagon document said Khairkhwa was a senior Taliban official serving as the minister of interior, governor of Herat and a military commander. It said that after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States, he represented the Taliban during meetings with Iranian officials seeking to support hostilities against U.S. forces in Afghanistan. It said he was born in 1967 in Afghanistan's Kandahar province.
ABDUL HAQ WASIQ: A January 2008 Pentagon document said Wasiq served as the Taliban deputy minister of intelligence. "He was central to the Taliban's efforts to form alliances with other Islamic fundamentalist groups to fight alongside the Taliban against U.S. and Coalition forces after the 11 September2001 attacks," the document said. It said he was born in 1971 in Afghanistan's Ghazni province.
MOHAMMED NABI: A January 2008 Pentagon document said Nabi was a senior Taliban official who "served in multiple leadership roles." It said he "maintained weapons caches and facilitated the smuggling of fighters and weapons." It said he was born in1968 in Afghanistan's Khost province.
UPDATE I: What the hell was this TWEET from father of released Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl.
Below is the tweet from Bob Bergdahl's account, which was published May 28 and was deleted Saturday night. Imagine that? He us still working to free all GITMO prisoners, what is up with this? God will repay the death of every Afghan child? Why didn't the father of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl just end his tweet with allahu akbar?

Charles Krauthammer Rips Barack Obama On His Afghan Troop Withdrwal Announcement as "An Act of Personal Narcissism"
I think it is worse than a political act to announce the leaving, its kind of an act of Personal Narcissism.
Charles Krauthammer shredded President Barack Obama on 'Special Report with Bret Baier' stating that Obama's announcement of troop withdrawal in Afghanistan was an act if personal narcissism. Earlier on Tuesday, Obama had announced plans to leave 9,800 U.S. troops in Afghanistan after the formal troop withdrawal at the end of this year. The politician, "Narcissist" in Chief Obama stated that he will bring those troops home in 2016 before the election. Krauthammer went on to say, slamming Obama for announcing a withdrawal in advance …
"When this was talked about a few months ago in the press, there was a mention of the fact that if the full withdrawal happened in 2016, that would allow Obama to leave office having fulfilled the promise to liquidate the wars.
Is that how we are now setting the strategic of the United States of America in a war zone, where so many have died and so much treasure and blood has been spent so that a president can leave office looking good?"

Fox News Poll: Barack Obama Hits All-Time Low Job Approval at 38%, 54% Disapprove … Only 33% Believe Obama has Improved America's Image around the World
Barack Obama's 38% job approval is well deserved, he did it the old-fashioned way … HE EARNED IT!!!
Can you say 'EPIC FAILURE' and it would appear the American people may finally be fed up with Obama's disastrous presidency. According to the most recent Fox News poll, President Barack Obama has hit an all-time low in his job approval, as an anemic 38% approve of the job he is doing while a whopping 54% disapprove. But wait, a look inside the numbers and the news gets even worse for Obama and Democrats. Obama's numbers on healthcare, the economy and foreign policy are abysmal.
Just how many Democrats are going to want this president near him during the 2014 elections?
For the first time in a Fox News poll, fewer than four voters in ten — 38 percent — approve of President Obama's job performance. Fifty-four percent disapprove. Before now Obama's worst job rating was 40-55 percent in November 2013. Last month 42 percent approved and 53 percent disapproved (February 2014).
Approval of Obama among Democrats stands at 71 percent, near its 69 percent record low (September 2013). For independents, 28 percent approve, which is also near the 25 percent all-time low among this group (July 2013). And approval of Obama among Republicans hits a new low of five percent.
Full poll results can be read HERE.
Most all of Obama's poll numbers are now in the 30′s. Across the board whether it be domestic or foreign policy, Obama has failed. Now we can only hope America can survive another 3 years with this president.
- Healthcare: 36% Approve - 59% Disapprove
- Economy: 36% Approve - 58% Disapprove
- Foreign Policy: 33% Approve – 56% Disapprove
- Do you think the country is better off than it was five years ago, or not? 34% Yes - 60% No – 5% the Same
Wait, let's try to find some good news for Obama and his lockstep Democrats in their poll. Oh sorry, there is none. On items that Americans were asked as to whether Barack Obama mostly succeeded or Mostly failed, Obama got an "F". What happened to that president who said that he would make America respected once again in the world?
- Making the country safer: 41% Mostly Succeeded – 48% Mostly Failed (In Oct. 2012 Obama's poll numbers were 52% – 38%)
- Improving health care: 36% Mostly Succeeded – 57% Mostly Failed
- Creating new jobs: 33% Mostly Succeeded – 59% Mostly Failed
- Improving America's image around the world: 33% Mostly Succeeded – 59% Mostly Failed
Real Clear Politics Barack Obama average job approval polling.
The Narcissist in Chief Strikes Again … Barack Obama Honors Himself on 58th Anniversary of Rosa Parks Civil Disobedience Bus Arrest
This is just truly disturbing, this man has no shame …
On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks refused to obey bus driver James F. Blake's order that she give up her seat in the colored section to a white passenger, after the white section was filled and was arrested. Her arrest for civil disobedience for ignoring the Alabama law requiring black people to relinquish seats to white people when the bus was full sparked a 381-day boycott of the Montgomery bus system. It also gave rise to the 1596 Supreme Court decision banning segregation on public transportation. Rosa Parks was a woman of great courage, charter, strength, perseverance and principles. On this day we remember her for standing up, or we should say sitting down, and saying no to what she knew was wrong.
Parks' act of defiance and the Montgomery Bus Boycott became important symbols of the modern Civil Rights Movement. She became an international icon of resistance to racial segregation. She organized and collaborated with civil rights leaders, including Edgar Nixon, president of the local chapter of the NAACP; and Martin Luther King, Jr., a new minister in town who gained national prominence in the civil rights movement.
At the time, Parks was secretary of the Montgomery chapter of the NAACP. She had recently attended the Highlander Folk School, a Tennessee center for training activists for workers' rights and racial equality. She acted as a private citizen "tired of giving in". Although widely honored in later years, she also suffered for her act; she was fired from her job as a seamstress in a local department store.
Today, President Barack Obama honored Rosa Parks on the 58th anniversary of her civil disobedience that would change America forever. Well kind of. It would appear that President Barack Obama decided to honor this day by honoring himself. What a shock that Obama would make it about him. Really, has this man no shame? To remember and honor Rosa Parks on the the historic day what did Barack Obama do … why tweet a picture of himself of course.
Just another head shaking moment from this president. What is this guy, a one trick pony? He used the same pic last year to agitate and compare himself to her as well. Way to go out of your way and do something different to honor an American hero.
Some responses to Obama's look at me, it is all about me remembrance. Oh, did I mention the world revolves around me, me, me, Barack Obama? The audacity of this man is repulsive. A note to Barack Obama, you would never know what it means to sacrifice like Rosa Parks and do something like she did that was so selfless and for others, not yourself. Hell, you can't even sacrifice not golfing to do the right thing.

He Just Doesn't Care … Barack Obama Stays Overnight in Florida to Play Golf as Millions of Americans Lose Their Insurance Because of Obamacare
Talk about a detached, cold fish president. As millions of Americans lose their insurance thanks to Obamacare, President Barack Obama goes golfing yet again. How is it possible some one could be so uncaring, so devoid of compassion and so clueless as while millions of Americans get insurance cancellation notices, after Obama had promised that if they liked their healthcare plan they could keep it, he goes golfing. The Obamacare website Healthcare.gov is a complete disastrous joke, the Obamacare policies are a lie and individuals are in turmoil, yet this rodeo clown goes golfing. Obama provided a faux-apology Thursday night to the American people who have been affected by his lies, yet Obama still thinks as Americans suffer due to his actions, he just goes golfing. But hey, he is really sorry America.
Sorry, but there is something seriously not right with an individual who acts like nothing is wrong, when nothing is going right.
Shhh, don't tell anyone I really could give a hoot about the middle class, or Americans in general
President Obama appears to have remained overnight in Miami – incurring extra costs for taxpayers – just to play golf in the Florida sunshine.
Obama headed out this morning to the exquisite Grande Oaks Golf Club in Fort Lauderdale, a trip that required a half hour motorcade from his hotel his Miami. And it will be well worth the trip, at least for him. According to the course website:
As the Washington Times points out this is the 150th round of golf for Obama in 5 years.

Barack Obama, the Narcissist in Chief Says Says "I've Been Burned" By Obamacare Website … Dude, You are Not the Victim, the American People Are (Update: Obama Does Not Think He Lied)
What else should we expect from Barack Obama, the Narcissist in Chief ? For Obama its all about him, as he uses the words like "I" and "me". This president just can't help himself. Obama was supposed to be making an apology to "We the People" for the disastrous roll-out of Obamacare, for millions for people losing their insurance, for the misrepresentation and lies that Obama spewed regarding his signature piece of legislation, but instead he made himself the victim and then tried to catch himself.
During Barack Obama's interview with NBC Political Director Chuck Todd Thursday night NBC's Nightly News, President Obama said that "I've been burned by a website." I? Excuse me Mr. President, you have been burned by the Healthcare.gov, really? This is exactly why no one considers Obama a leader and why thy refer to him as leading from behind. How does it even cross his mind as the first thing to say that he has been burned?
BARACK OBAMA: I am deeply frustrated about how this website has not worked over the first couple of weeks. And, I take responsibility of that. My team takes responsibility of that. And we are working every single day, 24/7, to improve it. And it's better now than it was last week. It's certainly a lot better than it was on October 1st. Having said that, given that I've been burned already with a website–well, more importantly the American people have been burned by a website that's been dysfunctional, what we've also been doing is creating a whole other set of tracks, making sure that people can apply by phone effectively, making sure people can apply in person effectively.
Who cares about the stupid website that wen all is said and done will probably cost tax payers $1 billion, Americans are pissed that you knowingly lied to them about being able to keep their doctor if they liked their doctor, being able to keep their health insurance if they liked their health care coverage and lowering costs. Barack Obama has a huge credibility problem and it will most likely sink his presidency and Democrats.
UPDATE I: NBC Political Director Chuck Todd Interviewed by Hugh Hewitt … Todd said, "You know, he does not believe he lied on this, and that's the sense I get."
So the serial liar thinks that he did not lie. Some are using the term "pathological" liar to describe Obama, but I have to disagree. A pathological liar is defined as an individual who frequent and repeated lies for which no apparent psychological motive or external benefit can be discerned. What Barack Obama does is perform regular lies, ones that are goal-directed and are told to obtain external benefit. Obama is not lying, according to Obama, he is just following the teachings of Saul Alinsky of saying one thing and doing another. These lies were purposeful and with a designed outcome.
You know, he does not believe he lied on this, and that's the sense I get. I mean, I think that that's, he's taken issue with that before with folks off the record, and I got it's a sensitive issue, felt like he did not sit there and say he intentionally lied. He said that he wanted to, he thought he was going to be able to keep this promise. I thought what was revealing in that answer, when I asked him that direct question about this, was this a political lie that you started to believe it, was he talked about well, you know, it turns out we had trouble in crafting the law.
However, the American people know he lied, those who have lost their instance and cannot keep their doctors. Many of which are Democrats. So the real question is, what do we do with a president who lies and its not about sex? Answer … IMPEACH!!!

The art of ski tuning and waxing applies equally well to both Snowboards and Skis. Proper tuning ensures you're getting maximum turning performance out of your board(s), something you'll notice whether you're cranking high-speed turns, launching into steep alpine terrain, or gliding across the flats.
How often you tune your bases and edges depends on how frequently you get out. Several quick tune-ups per season is average. The easiest way to determine if a tune-up is needed is to examine the base and edges of your skis.
Look for the following:
- Small gouges in the bases
- Burrs or nicks on the edges from hitting rocks or dirt
- Edges that feel dull to the touch
If you think you might need a tune drop on in and visit the team @the Edge Tuning Center and have them assess your gear today. A sharp set of sticks or board is a must in these conditions.
Don't forget you can receive the lowest guaranteed price on Lift Tickets when you purchase online 3 days in advance.

Spectre: You have to tell me something. Are there homosexuals in Heaven?
(next scene)
Michael: The question is irrelevant. Sexuality is a matter for the body and is thus confined to the mortal sphere. It has no place here.
Spectre: Are there souls in Heaven who have committed unnatural acts on Earth?
Michael: There are souls in Heaven that have committed every act conceivable. What soul enters Heaven without some stain of sin upon it? It is not the individual acts that bring or bar a soul here but the balance of one's life. I should warn you — it is not what Humanity considers good or evil. Humanity should not presume to judge for God. They invariably get it wrong.
The Spectre Vol. 3, #45.

Proposed Rome food itinerary (is there any other kind ;) ?
- L nrs Jul 7, 2008 02:51 PM
I'll be visiting rome with my husband and toddler later this month. I've found an overwhelming amount of great suggestions for places to eat on this board and elsewhere. Now I'm just plain old confused! Because I'm a glutton for punishment, any suggestions or tweaks (if any) would be appreciated. We'll be staying just east of the Spanish Steps.
We arrive Saturday night. Depending on how trashed we all feel and the state of my 19 month old after a veeerrry long plane ride we might try and find a place that can take us for dinner or maybe just take a walk down to San Crispino for a gelato.
Sunday: wander to Pantheon & Surrounding area-not sure of places open for lunch in the area on sundays.
dinner: La Fiametta
Monday: have 2:15 reservations to be at Vatican and the only place I have found recommended nearby for lunch is Il Matriciano. This good or any other suggestions? We'll also try the gelato at Old Bridge.
dinner: takeout probably-I hope. I've read about GiNa, but otherwise how are Roman restaurants generally regarding ordering food for take out?
Tuesday: get to Volpetti when they open and get provisions for a picnic lunch around the Roman Fora and Coleseum. Dinner: Matricianella.
Wednesday: lunch Colline Emillane
dinner: Bir & Fud
Thursday: morning market in the Campo de' Fiori and then we're off to Castellina in Chianti!
Also, I realize that most places do not have high chairs, so that means I make reservations for three? (I realized this might be a silly question, but when the three of us eat out at home we usually sit at a two top and pull the high chair up to the table.)
Thanks again.
If you have lunch at Colline Emiliane, you will probably not have much appetite for dinner, and I think the weather will be too hot to do justice to their food. Lots of places are open for lunch on Sundays. Take-out is not a restaurant concept. If you want take-out, go to a tavola calda. Near the Vatican, this could be Franchi, on the corner of via Terenzio and via Cola di Rienzo. I haven't been to Gine, but it sounds nice.
re: mbfant
Thanks for your response, mbfant.
Any suggestions for tavola calda places near our hotel (by the spanish steps) for take out? Also, any suggestions regarding the reservation conundrum in my post above?
re: L nrs
Hi L,
I know there is a good and large tavola calda on via del corso, not too far from the spagna area. If you think this sounds like a good option for you, why not ask at your hotel if they are familiar with it. It's very close to where you are, and it has a large-ish sign that says "Tavola Calda" :) On the other hand, if you follow via Condotti (or Carozze or Frattina or Borgognona- I don't know which street you are on there), down the the Corso, turn right to take it toward Piazza del Popolo. It will be on your left.
As far as Il Matriciano, I love it. You must try the matriciana- but make sure they are open for lunch on the day you want to go.
About high chairs- the Italian word for it is "seggiolone". When you call the restaurant for a reservation, tell them you are two adults (due adulti) and one small child (bambino/a)- and ask for a seggiolone. Not all restaurants will have them, but many will (they just don't put them on display the way many here in the states do). As an infant, I was a regular at many fine Roman eating establishments, and I've got the highchair photos to prove it!
Don't forget to get the fantastic pizza bianca from Il Forno on the corner in the campo dei fiori, behind the flower vendor.
Good luck and buon appetito!
While I can't give you any specific recommendations on Where To Eat in Rome...I can offer a few general ideas on what to eat. It's pretty hard to find a "bad" restaurant in Italy...almost anywhere you go will be good, as long as you stay away from the restaurants frequented by tourists on the main piazzas. For dinner try to avoid going at 8:30pm...that's usually when all the Italians like to eat dinner...you'll be seated easier if you show up a little earlier.
For an easy lunch/take out dinner, Rome has great "pizza al taglio" or pizza by the slice. One of my favorites is the potato-rosemary pizza, a specialty of Rome. Usually, whereever they sell "pizza al taglio" you can also find the super yummy, yet oh-so rich fried and stuffed risotto balls or "suppli" as they call them in Rome. Eat one of those and you won't need to eat again for a long time!
If you happen to come across an outdoor food market...look for a truck selling "porchetta" or "arista" ...it's whole roasted pig on the spit...seasoned with lots of garlic and fresh herbs...they'll put it in a "panino" for you. Both Rome (Lazio region in general) and Tuscany have great porchetta (...and Umbria, for that matter).

re: shabbystorm
Thanks for that shabby!
Ricotta Fritta - WOW!!!
re: shabbystorm
What a great list shabbystorm! As someone going to Rome in May that will come in very handy. One quick question: outdoor seating cafes - just grab a seat and the waiter finds us, or go find a "host/hostess" to be seated?
re: Maxfood
Maxfood it depends on the cafe.
For a quick cappuccino you can usually grab a seat and they will come to you.
re: shabbystorm
Heading to Rome on Wednesday with my husband and almost-two-year-old daughter. Thanks for all the street food suggestions!
re: shabbystorm
Your list is interesting and while it may be of interest for a newcomer, I do take exception with a few of your choices.
For example: Do not eat anywhere there is English on the menu??? Many restaurants in Rome have English menus or English translations on their menus. Are you certain that Quinzi Gabrielli,for example, offers no written English translation?
And while l I have eaten at many Roman restaurants, I certainly have not seen pollo frito on most of them.
It is Piperno, not Pipeno, by the way.
re: erica
Thanks Erica - Let me clarify. I have been to Roma several times. Understand most CHOWHOUNDS are about food and not fun - I think both are important. Because these posts reach a wide range of people traveling on various budgets with different goals I proposed some street food and special occasion restaurants.
Do not eat where there is ONLY english on the menu (Tourist traps and bad food). Sure translations are fine but it is the adventure that is most exciting. Agreed some fine restaurants in Roma offer english translations.
Pollo Frito is just a safe meal, simple fried chicken cutlet, that is always delicious, and yes a typo.
re: shabbystorm
I hope I did not come across as picky..sorry if I seemed that way!
re: shabbystorm
I don't believe I have ever seen pollo fritto on a Roman menu and it's been years since I've seen chicken of any kind.
re: shabbystorm
What you find in private homes and what you find on restaurant menus is often very different.
re: mbfant
Yes an osteria outside the wall of central Rome vs a 5 star restaurant two blocks from the Panthenon will vary greatly.
re: mbfant
Maureen - Really? Huh?
I'm not doubting you at all - I'm really just quite surprised.
After combing through so many menus I never noticed that.
Why is that?
re: NellyNel
I once asked a chef why you don't see chicken any more (and I am not the only person to have noticed) and she said nobody asks for it. That is a bit circular, but it's also a fact that my husband refuses to buy it any more unless we get a special pollo ruspante from outside Rome. Needless to say, there's a world of difference.
re: mbfant
Wow that is very interesting!
Well i can't say I'll miss it while I'm in Italy!
re: mbfant
The absence of chicken from menus in Roman restaurants had not even occurred to me until I read these posts. When I ate at Paris Restaurant in Trastevere among other items, my wife ordered a chicken special and it was great. It was chicken braised in a light tomato sauce with some peppers.The tomato sauce was delicious and the bird was incredibly tender, we were both impressed. i just checked their menu on line and the standard menu does not even have a section for chicken, just meat then fish. Interesting.
re: stuartlafonda
we had a similar chicken dish in rome many years ago, and I think some places have a grilled chicken pressed with a brick but I agree that chicken is not as common in restaurants in Italy as elsewhere in Europe.
re: shabbystorm
I love your list! It's been a life long dream to go to Italy. Now I'm going, but it's a spur of the moment trip. I'm trying to plan & cram. Your list looks like a fun starting place to get a sample of fun & food in Rome.
In the Vatican area I highly recommend "Romolo alla Mole Adriana" (Via Fosse di Castello 19 – (06) 686-1603) It is two blocks from Castel Sant'Angelo and it packs in the locals with its good grub and convivial waiters (including the self proclaimed "Best Waiter In Rome". After lunch you can take a leisurely stroll to Saint Peter's down the pedestrian only Borgo Pio.
We ate at Il Matriciano in early July 2007. It was unremarkable at best, including their signature amatriciana. My melon with prosciutto was bland, so I didn't finish it. As I poked at it I discovered that the melon had either been dropped on the floor or the cook dropped a little cigarette ash on it. For seasoning, no doubt!
If I had only one meal to eat in Rome, I would go to Checco er Carritiere [via Benedetta 10] in Trastevere neighborhood and eat whatever they tell you. The fish is great and so are the zucchini flowers! The waiters will guide you well. Also, they are VERY welcoming of children.
Checco has a bar next door, same name, so don't be confused. Also, it is in a little alley and doesn't really have much of a sign. Across the street from the Ponte Sisto, there is a statue [I cannot remember who it is]. Go down the behind the statue and make a right. Checco will be on your left. It doesn't look like much from the alley, but go on in and enjoy. Si mangia bene!
re: jaybeck
Firstly many thanks to everyone on this board for fantastic comments. I used them extensively on my recent trip to Rome and Florence and here is my report...
Matricianella - was fantastic and we went back there twice. Tried roman artichokes, pasta with truffles, simple grilled veal chop and coda alla vaccinara (oxtail) all of them were fantastic. The service was surprisingly good and wine list has wide and well priced selection of Italian wines.
2–4 Via de Leone
Spanish Steps
Rome, Italy 00186
Tel: +39 06 683 2100
Piperno – went their for artichokes which did not disappoint. Other dishes were nothing special. Wine list is limited but has some selections from Lazio (Mater Matuta and Kron) which were Ok.
Via Monte de'Cenci 9
+39 06-68806629
La Rosetta – I knew this place was expensive but it is REALLY over the top. The food was good quality, wine list was good but not great, and the service was below average. For the prices that they charge (40 euros for appetizers!) I would certainly not recommend going there.
Via della Rosetta 8-9
Near Piazza Navona & the Pantheon
Phone 06-6861002
Romolo – simple place in Trastevere area, which is a lot of fun to walk around. The food was fine - baby lamp chop is a house specialty and was quite good. Fried mozzarella – another specialty – was interesting. The pastas were somewhat disappointing. Wine list is weak – I actually had to go to the wine rack to pick a bottle. The service was great with very friendly waiters. In a nice weather they have garden seating which is fantastic.
Via di Porta Settimiana 8
Rome 00153 Italy
+39 06 581 8284
Cavour 313 - This is a wine bar near Coliseum. Cold cuts, cheese platters, vegetable dishes and some simple Lasagna were all very good. The wine list is fantastic and VERY well priced. The owner knows and appreciates the wines and made fantastic and inexpensive recommendations.
La Buca Dell Orafo – this one is in Florence and was talked about on these boards. I had a hard time finding it because it was referred to as La Buca d'Orfeo and not La Buca Dell Orafo. We went there for lunch and has local delicacies including Trippa alla Fiorentina and Ribollita. They were fantastic. Crostinis were excellent as well as well as pasta. Wine list has many interesting local (Tuscan) selections and is well priced.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Smoking marijuana (also called cannabis) is unlikely to increase a person's risk of killing themselves later on, an analysis of more than three decades worth of death records on more than 50,000 Swedish military recruits suggests.
"I don't think this can be interpreted as saying, 'Well, there are no risks of using cannabis,'" Dr. Stanley Zammit of the department of psychological medicine at Cardiff University School of Medicine in the UK told Reuters Health.
Nevertheless, "we can pretty much rule out a strong effect of cannabis on long-term risk of suicide whether it's through depression or whatever," he added.
Zammit and his colleagues had previously found a link between cannabis use and schizophrenia while looking at the same group of 50,087 men drafted into the Swedish military in 1969-1970. Nearly all were 18 to 20 years old at the time. In that first analysis, the researchers had also found a "much less consistent and overall weaker" relationship between cannabis use and depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, and suicide.
To investigate further, Zammit and his team identified suicides among the recruits over the next 33 years in Sweden's National Cause of Death Registry. During that time, there were 600 suicides or deaths from unknown causes.
At the time they were drafted, about one in ten of the men admitted to ever using cannabis. These men were 62 percent more likely to have killed themselves during the follow-up period than men who had never used marijuana.
But once the researchers adjusted for factors that could influence both pot use and suicide risk, such as behavior problems in childhood, psychological adjustment, psychiatric diagnoses, drinking, smoking, and parental drug use, the increased risk of suicide associated with marijuana disappeared.
While the findings suggest that marijuana use is not a strong risk factor for suicide, Zammit said, they do support the possibility that cannabis use may have a causal relationship with psychosis. He and his colleagues are investigating the schizophrenia-cannabis link further, for example determining whether the potency of cannabis plays a role in psychosis risk.

Week Ahead
SF's ace off to slow start
Published: Apr 13, 2012
» Get updates via Sportsmail
Next week should have been a joyous occasion for Tim Lincecum owners. With the Giants' ace set up for starts against the Phillies and Mets, it should have been a lock that he'd mow down those struggling offenses.
But now it's not such a sure thing. After two starts, Lincecum has a 12.91 ERA, the worst mark among qualified starters. His most recent outing was the shortest one (2.1 innings) of his storied career (two Cy Young awards, one World Series ring).
The biggest problem has been a drop in velocity. According to Fangraphs.com, Lincecum's average fastball has dropped from 92.2 mph to 90.3. That might not seem like a lot, but it is when he starts mixing in a changeup more than usual.

The B-52's "Topaz"
Everybody knows who The B-52's are thanks to "Love Shack" (or possibly "Roam") but "Topaz" is a hidden gem on Cosmic Thing that needs to get more Shine. So that's why I uploaded it.
First of all, apparently NYC has turned into Bangladesh and we're right in the middle of Monsoon Season. It's forreal been raining for days straight and "Topaz" is one of those non-sad Rainy Day songs that just makes you chill and relax…or chillax, if you will. Katy and Cindy are spot on in this track with their trademark two-part harmony. This is what some good pop singing sounds like without auto-tune: Their unison is crystal clear and the harmony is right in tune. This has always been my favorite song from The B-52's because it's so simple and lets you sit in the groove with minimal distractions (a lot of their music is a lot better without Fred oddly yelling out random things).
Get into it.

I confess that I had no love for the Revell squarebody kits. That being said, once I started researching this tooling due to many requests and confusions with the Monogram squarebody kits, I discovered that out of the three manufacturers the Revell version is the most diverse. I have catalogued 22 different issues of this tooling spanning from 1978 through to 2012. The Revell kit also has the distinction of being the only squarebody kit ever issued in ensemble packs with trailers and various accessories. I don't claim this article to be the be-all-and-end-all of this tooling's history, and in fact there is one kit for which I only have a box cover image and no other information. During my research, more kits popped up that I never knew existed and I will be pleased to add more information to this article as new information surfaces. So, let us begin!
From what I have been able to determine, this tooling was first issued in 1978, barely recognizable as a GM pickup, in the form of the Sneaky Pete California Pickup. This kit depicts a heavily customized pickup with a big rig Peterbilt style front clip, big rig style wheels, exhaust stacks, bed rails, and a California Stepside bed (aside: California Stepside was a customizing company that offered stepside beds for full-size and quarter-ton pickups. They could be installed on any short-wheelbase pickup from any manufacturer). A separate cab roof insert piece was included that added clearance lights and mounted bosses for air horns. This kit was marketed as a glue kit with a very simplified chassis and molded in brown. Released under two different stock numbers, H-1379 and H-1380, with two box art versions.
This same tooling was also offered as the Midnite Cowboy Custom Chevy Wrecker, offering a clue as to the base pickup this kit was based on. This version replaced the California Stepside bed with a wrecker body and was again marketed as a glue kit. Released as stock number H-1383 and molded in black, this kit was also released in 1978.
Hoping to maximize the potential of this new tooling, Revell finished up the Chevrolet body adding a stock front clip but retaining the same simplified chassis and California Stepside bed. The Ice Patrol California Pickup kit was also released in 1978 and included off-road accessories, exhaust stacks, and a snowmobile. The cab roof opening was re-shaped slightly for a sunroof in place of the clearance lights. Molded in blue, this kit was issued with the stock number H-1384.
In 1978, the US's favourite down-home country boy was none other than President Jimmy Carter's little brother Billy. Simply by virtue of being the sitting president's brother, Billy Carter was afforded celebrity status and managed to bumble his way through many official duties (see his Wikipedia article). Hoping to capitalize on his fame, Revell modified their squarebody kit to reflect a replica Billy's "Redneck Power" pickup. This version added a wood front push bumper, wood beside rails, and a bed cargo of beer bottles and other "redneck" gear. The original clearance light cab roof insert was used. This was the last version of this tooling released in 1978, molded in white and with the stock number H-1385.
In 1979, a new tooling intended for release as a line of snap kits was created based on the glue kit line Revell had been issuing. This new tooling included 4x4 suspension and was molded as a Blazer and a pickup with the same body dimensions as a Blazer. The first kit issued with this new tooling was the Chevy 4x4 Pickup. Molded in tan and black, this kit included a one-piece pickup body, molded fender flares, Fey rear step bumper, Hickey front bumper with winch and grille guard, and Jackman wheels. The cab roof of this version was completely closed. This kit was issued under the stock number 6200.

VATICAN CITY • Not even the Vatican is immune from the economic crisis.
For the first time, the Vatican is seeking funds directly from pilgrims, collectors and tourists to pay for the ambitious restoration of the 17th century Bernini colonnade surrounding St. Peter's Square. It is offering a special (euro) 20 ($26) stamp and certificate package.
The Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano reported Tuesday that the Vatican's Philatelic and Numismatic Office, which sells commemorative coins and stamps featuring popes, saints and the like, issued the series to offset a recession-induced drop in corporate sponsors for the restoration.
Two (euro) 10 ($13) stamps are affixed on the certificate, one featuring Pope Benedict XVI's papal seal and the other the seal of Pope Alexander VII, who along with Bernini came up with the idea for the colonnade.
