In the past, to reallocate free space on your Mac, you'd need to back up the Boot Camp partition, delete the partition, recreate an NTFS partition with a new size and, finally, restore the Windows partition backup to the new NTFS partition, a process that could take anywhere between two to five hours. Fortunately, Paragon Software has developed Camptune X, which achieves the same result in a matter of minutes!

Maya-inspired activities take over the ROM from March 10 to 18
Students are counting down the minutes, anxiously awaiting the start of March Break…and quite frankly, so are we!
We know that this time of year can be stressful for parents, so we've put together some suggestions to help you make the most of your visit to the ROM this March Break (March 10 – 18).
6 March Break at the ROM Tips
It was another full house in Samuel Hall/Currelly Gallery on the Wednesday evening March 7 as the ROM History Wars debate centred on the place of French language, culture and people in Canadian society and governance. As the format allows a straw poll of hands up in the air, the measure of the audience was taken at the beginning of the debate and after to see if our speakers had moved anyone on their views of a bilingual Canada. The results of both votes showed a significant number of people who were and remained undecided. Not surprising when considering such a complex issue.
Yesterday, we introduced you to, Dr. ROMulous, the host of the ROM's March Break activitity, The Game Show at the End of the World. Not to leave you in the dark, we are pleased to give you the back story on our superhero of science and history!
Dr. ROMulous was born in the back seat of his parent's broken down lollipop orange Volkswagen.
Having laid awake for nights on end, the fabulous Dr. ROMulous and the ROM team have devised a new game show for March Break at the ROM (March 10 – 18). Inspired by Maya: Secrets of their Ancient World and Dr. ROMulous's recent trip to Palenque, Mexico, The Game Show at the End of the World is a contest that will challenge your wits and tickle your funny bone!
I'm currently at the Argonne National Laboratory just outside of Chicago, Illinois at the Advanced Photon Source (APS). This is a research facility funded by the U.S. Department of Energy that over 3,500 scientists from all over the world comes to use the instruments here for their research each year.
Contributed by Peter May, President, Research Casting International Ltd.
We held a press preview day at our shop last week to launch the ROM's major summer exhibition – Ultimate Dinosaurs: Giants from Gondwana. Of the 17 dinosaur skeletons to be exhibited, ten are pretty well finished; just final paint to be applied.

I vote the Mulleavy sisters the coolest girls in America. They deliver collections that are consistently slick and reference nothing else but their own past work. Theirs is one of only a handful of labels in New York that truly deserves international fashion status. Karl Lagerfeld buys Rodarte pieces to give as presents for his team, for heaven's sake. And yet, they still look like they are surprised by their own achievement. They are real-woman shaped (as opposed to angular fashion Manhattanites). You could pass them in the street and not know who they are. They live in LA, far from any fashion capital. They don't have private jets but they do have an Airstream trailer. They don't travel with huge entourages. Long-time Rodarte supporter Kirsten Dunst gave the thumbs up from backstage but their front rows are not full of celebrities. And they so easily could be because the sisters are probably the hottest fashion talent west of Hoxton.
This season they took the Rodarte themes back to basics. Way back – think Stoneage chic. Soft, crinkled cheesecloth combined with wool cobweb knit was wrapped around bodies painted with Maori tattoos. Voluminous dresses were anchored with hand-plaited leather belts with antique silver buckles. Crushed linen was combined with sprinklings of Swarovski crystals. Painted lace was worked with distressed silk. The elements looked like craft – certainly handmade, almost home-made. The colours were earthy: rust, brown, muddy beige and stormy greys. The dry ice that filled the floor made the venue bubble like a primordial swamp and the matted wool over the models hair made it all feel very One Million Years BC. Loved, loved, loved the scaly skinny trousers with punky zippers. Loved, loved, loved the long crinkly black cheescloth evening gowns trimmed with jet black feathers and crystals. Loved, loved, loved the cropped hand-woven leather braided jackets. And the image of Anna Wintour steeped up to her shoulders in dry ice looking like a perfectly groomed creature from a primordial lagoon will stay with me for a very long time.

I make something similar to this based on my mom's recipe. Doesn't include the Dijon mustard, and adds a little evaporated milk (I use the skim variety these days), which helps keep the patties moist. The thai sweet chili sauce is a thought -- I love it on so many other dishes. But this recipe as written, with a reduction in bread crumb content, is great. As for the sodium in canned salmon, I rinse my canned salmon and let it "drip dry" in a large strainer to get some of the salt out of it. Then I replace the salt with other ingredients -- a little Mrs. Dash herb and garlic does a great job. Also, I don't use mayo in my dill sauce; Greek yogurt is a great base for this sauce, and it doesn't need any mayo to make it better. Gotta go buy some ingredients and make this dish for my dinner.
Easy Salmon Cakes
From EatingWell: Winter 2004, EatingWell Serves Two, The Essential EatingWell Cookbook (2004)
If you are trying to boost your intake of omega-3s, try this simple favorite. It is a great way to use convenient canned (or leftover) salmon. The tangy dill sauce provides a tart balance.
114 Reviews for Easy Salmon Cakes
wHY BAKE FOR 20 MINUTES ???jUST TURNOVER AND BROWN OTHERSIDE LOWER HEAT AND COVER COOKED IN 10 MINUTES WITHOUT THE FUSS OF OVEN AND COOKING ALL THE FLAVOUR AND NUTRIENTS OUT OF THE PATTIES sALMON IS FISH fISH SHOULD NOT BE COOKED TO DEATH
I make this with canned tuna, as well....also delish!
I'll use other oil (Canola?) no mustard and no dill. I don't like the flavor of them, even though olive oil is probably the healthiest. Crumbs from the crust have more fiber, so it's good to use them. The bones in canned salmon are edible and rich in calcium so I'd use them. I lost 20 pounds just by eliminating desserts and jams with sugar, but I need to lose about 60 more. I was addicted to sugar, but it doesn't bother me much to do w/o it now. It's a little bit of a struggle, when I do a week's grocery shopping, but I buy 3 slices of watermelon and eat that when I get home.
Any recipe calling for all purpose or any other white flour, I plan to replace with whole wheat pastry flour and hope it works.
I made this recipe and it was a disappointment. It calls for way too much breadcrumb and the cooking time is a bit too long. I will try it again but with less than half of the breadcrumb and I hope that solves the problem. It honestly felt as if I as eating dried toast. Yuk.

Since your min/maxing I think I'd put 8 stam on your EH gloves.
Wanted to have a sane conversation, not like the warrior forums one.
imo: 15 agi is pretty much always better than 8 stam. From an itemization standpoint, there are ways to trade avoidance and threat stats for stam far far more efficiently than this. 15 is just a lot more than 8.
2% threat is a lot more threat than 15 agi, which is about .5% crit or .3% threat. But the agi gives armor and dodge, and some damage.
Overall I'd take 2% threat for anything threat sensitive, and 15 agi for anything else.
My personal solution:
I have two copies of guantlets of the maiden. (Second dropped when we had feral druid OT and no pallies). One has 2% threat and two 8 hit gems (5 man/trash/east farm bosses/void reaver), and one has 15 agi and two 12 stam gems (other bosses)
Since your min/maxing I think I'd put 8 stam on your EH gloves.
Two sets of Maiden gloves, eh? Jerk.
I am using a +8 stam kit on my tier 4 gloves atm but am switching to the +15 agi. Its easy enough to march over to the AH and pick up the kit for nothing and slap it on after ther raid, via the Aldor swap meet guy who gave me the gloves. I'm not killing myself with the 8 stam instead but the 15 AGI is superior, IMO.
Threat if you need it. If DPS is pushing you or you are holding them back, it may be a big benefit to the raid but in most cases, I don't think its the best choice.
your hat may be nice, but I have the little white tank top that says Legendary right across my boobs. I win. (or more correctly, H wins)
If I was MT or used as MT for bosses I would get threat. that 2% is nto much if you break it down strike by strike, but when you add it up ove the course of a fight, it a large amoutn fo threat, and it let DPS go at it 2% more as well :P
As on OT I would get agl - threat should nto be an issue in any way, so power to the midigation
My plan was to leave the +15 agi on my T4 gloves for my avoidance set which i use on trash and lower bosses, and then put the +2% threat on my Maiden gloves for my EH set and glass chewing bosses.
Grin & Bear It!
You are forgetting about the healers guys. Extra 2% threat means 2% more healing. It's all about the control and therefore threat is superior in my book.
I'm trying out threat and I can notice a difference.
Its kindof cool to get +2% threat on thunderclaps, which we couldnt previously improve the threat of. Helps a little bit in holding multimob aggro over healers or aoeers.
In the end it's 2.95% threat btw.
BTW: i'm going for threat as fast as i get t5 gloves, Have passed them way to many times.
The faster you build threat, The faster your dps'ers can start off.

Providing leading-edge infusion treatments for MS, the Tanner MS Center is staffed with neurology specialists who – along with being on Tanner's medical staff – also serve on the medical staff of the esteemed Multiple Sclerosis Center of Atlanta, and medical infusion experts on staff at Tanner Medical Center/Villa Rica.
In addition to the Tanner Infusion Center at the Multiple Sclerosis Center of Atlanta, the Tanner MS Center at Tanner Medical Center/Villa Rica is committed to providing essential MS therapy to patients throughout the region.
The Tanner MS Center at Tanner Medical Center/Villa Rica offers infusion therapy services for people with MS, chiefly the medication natalizumab (brand name: Tysabri) – a prescription medicine for adult patients with relapsing forms of MS. The medication slows the worsening physical disability that is common among patients with MS, and helps to decrease the number of relapses. The therapy is recommended for patients who have not been helped by, or who cannot tolerate, other treatments for MS.
Natalizumab is not a cure for MS, but rather, an opportunity for patients to still be able to live an active life while limiting the debilitating symptoms of their disease.
As Tanner's relationship with the Multiple Sclerosis Center of Atlanta and its medical staff grows, the Tanner MS Center will continue to expand the services and treatment hours at the Tanner MS Center.

Post subject: Plasma D's and Defensive Mode
The Impulse Procedure chart on the back of Reference Card 2 (Romulan Border) lists "Plasma Racks Fire" as the third stage of the Defensive Fire phase.
However, the Plasma-D rules in Romulan Attack seem to say that they cannot fire in defensive mode, although the first section 'Modes' (I think) seems confused and confusing.
Was there a beta-rule to have Plasma-D's fire in defensive mode that was revoked?

The note on the player reference card is just an error.
However, I do want to confirm that Pl-D torpedoes may definitely NOT be used during the Defensive Fire Phase. They may ONLY be used during the Launch Phase (in seeking mode).
Also, don't confuse the "defensive mode" of Pl-D torpedoes and the "Defensive Fire Phase". Pl-D torpedoes may of course be used in "defensive mode" to fire multiple torpedoes at drones (et. al.) within a single turn. However, they may not be fired in the Defensive Fire Phase.

Can I please reopen this thread to clarify the difference between Defensive Mode and Offensive Mode.
I have checked the CRUL and it does not appear to be clarified in there.
In Romulan Attack, Rule (4J5c) says that "a given...rack may (in defensive mode) launch only one torpedo per turn against [larger targets] but can launch one torpedo per impulse against smaller targets".
Then it says that if it launches against a ship (Offensive Mode), to mark the weapons track ... etc.
Does that mean that any launch against a ship is automatically Offensive Mode, in which case why can we apparently launch against a ship in Defensive Mode as in the first paragraph above? Or is it a misprint?
The way I interpreted it was that the rack may be fired in only one of the two modes in each turn; use of one mode precludes the use of the other for the rest of that turn. A launch against a ship or base is Offensive mode, a launch against a smaller unit [including a shuttle that is NOT a seeking weapon, because targets look to be differentiated on size rather than function] is Defensive. Does that sound right?
The difference looks to be important, as it seems to require Offensive Mode in order to be bolted.
On that note, then, can I bolt a Plas-D against a small target in Offensive Mode if I want, but that would lock the launcher into Offensive mode and count as the one launch for the turn?

The rule needs to be reworded. It should probably look more like this:
"A given plasma-D rack may (in offensive mode) launch only one torpedo per turn against a "ship" or "base", but (in defensive mode) can launch one torpedo per impulse against smaller targets (drones, shuttles, fighters). If the rack is used against a small target (defensive mode), it cannot target a "ship" (offensive mode) that turn and vice versa."
Sorry for not catching that.

No prob. You know we always appreciate your hard work anyway. Thanks for the clarification!
btw - my usual nag - should this go in the CRUL/new rulebook? We need to make sure that the CRUL keeps being a 'living document' but it hasn't been updated since October

Yes, the CRUL has not been updated for a while, but that is because Steve has been so busy with all of these other issues.
But, yes, all of the items like this are being collected for inclusion in the Rev5 Rulebook.

Signs of aging aren't always pretty. But in the world of electronics, the devices only grow better looking over time. One of the best examples of graceful aging is the remote control. As Pete Baker of Remote Technologies Inc. (RTI), points out, "Twenty-five years ago, most people had few choices for a universal remote control into which they could program the codes for multiple devices. Typically, this meant using the remote that came with their high-end TV. The main objective was to reduce the number of remotes cluttering up the proverbial coffee table, and if you could program a couple of macro commands into a button that was a serious bonus."
Fast forward to today. While macro commands are still important, it's no longer the only feature entertainment enthusiasts now covet. "The device must offer a host of other bells and whistles such as a backlit and configurable touchscreen display for intuitive control even in dark environments; RF communications to a central processors so that the A/V components can be hidden in a cabinet or even in another room and still be controlled; a high-degree of macro execution capabilities and automation for functions such as power sending, RS-232 and IP control, and relay control; and last but not least bidirectional control to give the user a connected, interactive experience," says Baker.
With so much being built into remotes these days, you'd think they'd be bigger and button-laden. It's the exact opposite. Thanks to touchscreens, most of the buttons can be displayed only when you need them. That menu-driven screen can issue so many commands, in fact, that clickers are now often used as a primary control device for lights, thermostats, and other electronic equipment.
Check out how RTI's remotes look now compared to 10 years ago.

Tel Aviv is the biggest city in Israel and is also the main cultural and financial centre of the country. Tel Aviv was actually the capital of Israel for a short time, until 1949, when Jerusalem became the capital. Many ministries and embassies are still situated in Tel Aviv. The city is known for its beautiful beaches, interesting cultural life, excellent shopping streets and a wild nightlife that goes on until the early hours of the morning.
Important sights include Ben Gurion House, the former home of Israel's first Prime Minister. Eretz Israel Museum Complex, which contains a number of buildings with superb collections, is also worth a visit. There is also the Founders Monument, which was specially created to commemorate the founders of Israel, and Independence Hall, the historic building where Israel declared its independence.

The utility's role is changing, and regulation must change along with it – to spur innovation and respond to evolving customer needs. Modernizing the industry will require a dynamic approach.
CEO FORUM: Dealing with Disruption
Leaders adapt to strategic shifts in the utility landscape.
some battery capacity, there are two compressed-air energy storage (CAES) projects that are still in the vetting stage. One of those has a potential capacity of 2,700 MW. Also we're working on a 20-MW flywheel project. My favorite technology though, and I hope the smart grid makes it available, is water-heater storage. Water heaters already exist throughout the system. Prices could encourage heating water at night and lowering the temperature during the daytime, but this does require smart-grid control systems.
This will be a slow-moving process. It's a very large system, and as we add wind we'll need a lot of storage, much like we added 23 GW of pumped-storage to the country's grid in order to integrate nuclear power in the 1970s and 1980s, to allow nuclear power to run at base load. Nuclear plants have a very good fuel cost, and so do wind farms. We'd like to have the same kind of flexibility in the portfolio going forward.
Another important part of the resource plan is shale gas. It's not a zero-carbon resource, but it can buy time to integrate renewables. Natural gas balances out with wind much better than nuclear or coal plants do. Shale gas is very heavy in the PJM region and it's closer to load centers than wind or coal-fired generation, so that might represent a sea change. But you have to do it right the first time, in terms of protecting the environment and the water supply in particular, or you might not get another opportunity.
Negawatt Planning
Fortnightly: What roles do you expect conservation and demand management to play in the future resource strategy?
Ratcliffe, Southern Company: We've done a lot of work within the industry, at EPRI and other groups, looking at what could be done with energy efficiency and conservation. We know we could do more but it has to be economically effective to deploy. There's nothing that doesn't cost money. We can pass building codes that will require more efficient new construction going forward, and we can provide economic incentives for retrofitting with new lighting and motors. We've been successful at reducing the peak demand with different rate structures. We can demonstrate 3,000 MW of demand on our system that doesn't exist because of interruptible loads and peak pricing. We think we can do more in that regard, and we'll spend as much as $1 billion to create incentives to reduce peak demand over the next 10 years. From that we expect we can get a further 1,100 MW off our system.
But all of these things are a function of cost, the current mix of resources, and regulatory requirements at the state and national levels. More than 25 states have mandated renewable energy. What makes economic sense depends on your average cost of electricity, and the cost for renewables, efficiency or conservation. The higher your average rates are, the more it makes sense to deploy efficiency and conservation programs. Many programs, when measured against a rate-impact model, actually cause rates to go up, and therefore regulators won't—and

Earlier this summer, we showed off Tom Spina Designs' handiwork, with a King Kong-inspired home theater collection. Now, it looks as if they've gone over to the Dark Side.
The company just debuted its latest project, a crop of three-dimensional wall tiles designed to look like the Death Star. According to Tom Spina Designs, the client wanted the look and feel of being on a starship. Think Darth Vader didn't command the coolest spacecraft ever constructed?
Tom Spina Designs built the tiles, which run along the walls like wainscot. A total of 14 master tile sculptures were created, measuring 12-by-12 inches with a depth of 3 to 4 inches on each. The variety gives the walls a bit of a "chunky" appearance, with detail smaller in some spots.
That kind of craftsmanship makes it kind of hard for guests to actually focus on the screen and the main attraction. However, Tom Spina Designs worked in conjunction with Victor Brown, who installed the tiles under the screen and along the lower walls and steps. The company says placing the tiles lower kept things from getting too "over the top." The room includes a whole Star Wars theme, complete with a number of replica mannequins. It seems like maybe they passed being subtle at least a few galaxies ago.

Garmin Forerunner 610 GPS Watch with HRM 9 9
GREAT WATCH! I purchased this online during Cyber Monday sale as a Christmas present for myself. I've used it several times already and absolutely love it! It is easy to setup and use. I love the Virtual Partner and use it to pace myself as i train for my first full marathon at the end of the month. I wish I had bought it a year ago! The ease of using and all the bells and whistles that this watch has makes it a GREAT value over any other watch. December 16, 2013
Garmin customer Great watch for training! The 610 is a good investment for individuals who are interested in tracking information for improvement. December 15, 2013
Does what it says! Watch was difficult to use until I read the manual. Now it is a piece of cake! Works great while training for my half marathon. August 7, 2013
awesome product! I used to use the polar HR monitor and thought that was good enough for what I do, after doing some research on this watch, I realized I was wrong. I've been a personal trainer for 20 years and the past 5 years I got into doing mud runs, mountain biking, shooting the rapids and other high intensity sports. This watch keeps track of everything, too much to list here. My son and I were blazing some new mountain bike trails for a few hours and realized it was hard to find our way back to the car, I used the gps feature to trace our way back and it worked perfectly!! I wear it every day for work and play, now I don't have to change watches for work or workouts. It has a great minimalist look without looking like a dorky HR watch. I love it! June 12, 2013
Running AND biking I love that this has training modes for both biking and running. I even used the biking mode in my car to see how fast I was going since the speedometer on my car is jumpy. The GPS feature is just great! Also, I like the clean styling! April 20, 2013
Great Watch!! Brought this watch for my daughter who is an avid runner. She loves it! I opted to treat her to a really, really good watch with bells and whistles vs a watch with minimal features. She loves it. It does everything except run for you. A great investment for a serious runner! January 6, 2013
Excellent GPS Watch This is an excellent GPS watch. The price is a little high but the quality and features are very good. The touch feature is nice. I also like the small size compare to other GPS watches. December 20, 2012
Grea for run and bike w/ a couple quirks I purchased the 610 for my wife for her birthday. She gave me a list of features she wanted in a GPS / HRM and the 610 was the only one to fit the bill. Her main feature was that it be easy to operate. The 610 has a couple quirks that has given her fits. First he "power" button and the "reset" button are opposite of each other and both take a little force to press and make contact. If you squeeze the watch to power on, and accidently hold the reset at the same time, it restores the 610 to factory defaults. It does give a warning first, but my wife thought that it just meant to start a new run. The other feature tha causes some issues is thewatch will go into power save mode automatically. She was waiting the start of a triathlon and it went into power save. To get it out of power save your have press the bottom of the screen and then swipe left with your finger. Not very easy to do when you are starting a competition. Other than that, great GPS as usual from Garmin. August 21, 2012
nice easy to manage May 17, 2012

You know, something just occured to me.
I grew up in the 80's. My first real Trek experience was the motion pictures. Wrath of Khan is what really got me into SFB. When I consider all the models in the Trek universe it is the ones from the movies I like the best (next gen is the worst by far). I think that would explain why I prefer the FASA line.
I wonder if the people most happy with the current line had thier first Trek experience with the original series.
Not sure why I did not consider that until now.

Answers for Rodak:
"Geez dude are you calling me a woman? Are you serious? "
I never said any such thing. How you got that impression is beyond me. As I have said several times, the two new women employees (who are not gamers) saw the old metal CA and the new metal CC and thought that the new CC was better. So did I, and so did a heck of a lot of people. But that new CC was the most expensive ship we have done in two years and has yet to turn a profit.
"First of all I have no intention of engaging in a "flame war†with you."
If you read the entire sentence, I pointed out that that flame war had produced a very good thing and if new flame wars are going to produce new ships that damn cool then I'm all for more of them.
"I was only asking a question/giving an opinion that I have held for a long time. I apologize if I was wrong in assuming that this forum was intended for that purpose."
That kind of sarcasm has no place here. We certainly have wide ranging and free wheeling discussions. But you don't get to be insulting or sarcastic."
"Second, that's great you have an engineering degree but I'm afraid the SF universe, like the Trek universe, is fantasy. I have a degree too, it is in legal studies. Great. "
Actually reading my post will show you the point I was trying to make.
"Third, FASA is out of business because you have a much better game than they did. Period."
Actually, it has a lot more to do with their contract. But thanks for acknowledging who did the better game.
"Fourth, I played SFB back in the 80's. I am not new, I just have not been around in a while."
Welcome back.
"Fifth, Okay you would know better than me."
"Sixth, I understand. I was not saying you should run out and blow all your cash on a new line. But you'll eventually re-do some mini's right? A few here and there would be cool."
Money can be spent on new ships or re-dos. New ships sell better. I don't have any plans or vision for re-doing anything. Doesn't mean that we might not, sometime, under some circumstances. I would never assign a sculptor to re-do something. If one of them did and I thought his version was spectacular, I might.
"Seventh, I agree completely it is a matter of taste. I just don't agree with your opinion about the SparrowHawk."
Nor do I agree with yours. Nor, apparenly, do many others. If a lot of people did, we'd change the ship, but most don't, so we won't.
"Sorry if my post made you feel insulted because that was not my intention."
Your original post did not make me feel insulted. Indeed, as those who read my reply know, I welcomed your input.
"I know how it feels to have your work criticized. But really, I would think you would be used to it by now."
I get some criticism and welcome it. Nothing produces good ideas like a good, and polite, argument that lacks insults.
"Just an idea here but have you ever considered a contest to have players come up with a miniature design? Not sure it is practical but I would be happy to mail in something original (and legal) that you could make a mold out of."
Feel free. I don't know that we need a contest, but new ideas are always welcome. Remember a few points I have made, however. New ships sell better than one ones. Re-dos of old ones sell worst of all. There are a lot of ways to add detail without just adding junk that has no purpose or point.

Okay, thanks
You know as well as I do that some people will talk crazy to you in a forum like this and say things they would never say to someone face to face. I believe that is cowardly and it drives me nuts. I hope you understand why I was a bit defensive, I now realize I had no reason to be. Sorry
Truth is I have been a fan of yours and SFB since I was in Jr. High. For years I actually thought you guys were dead. Glad to see your not.
I think I see where you are coming from on mini design. I knew you were an engineer already. Seems like I recall there being several engineer types heavily involved in SFB back in the day. That is interesting because as we both agreed earlier when it comes to model star ships it is a matter of taste.
I know several guys who are engineers. They I think would agree with you about the models. They tend to look at fuction over anything else, where I look at a model like a peice of art I guess, I want it to look cool and I don't care about fuction. So, I think there is no right or wrong here.
I think you are on to something very special with Federation Commander. Once I get some models painted I plan to run a game at the local hobby store and maybe get a group going.
Thanks again and good luck!

Rodak: when you start gaming at the local store, be sure to sign up the store for organized league play which means Vanessa mails them a pile of signs, posters, bonus cards, and other cool stuff.
And I do look forward to your design for a new ship. Or even an old one. An old one would have less chance of being done, but your design for (say, a Lyran) could be useful in pointing out what you are trying to convey.
Do recall, however, the business situation. I have Lyrans already in production. When we do DISTANT KINGDOMS in the fall, there will be Lyran ships in squadron and border boxes. To cover the cost of re-doing the Lyrans, you have to convince me that we will sell nearly twice as many because of the new designs just because they ARE new designs. I don't know how you'd do that, I don't believe it would happen, but you're welcome to seek a way.

I'll do that.
I am not convinced you will like anything I come up with and I sure couldn't make any predictions about sales. I will try to come up with some ideas and send them to you anyway. Even if you don't use them it would be cool just knowing your taking a look at it.

Random responses.
Fifth, lead DOES matter. Lots of details mean it's in lead. Pewter won't hold detail like lead does. Just a fact of metalurgy.
I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to call hooey on this statement. Don't get me wrong, I'm not making a claim about the FC ships at all, as I don't own nor have even seen any up close yet. However, the general quality and detail of miniatures has done nothing but gone UP over the years. It could very well be that the general talent of the sculptors has gone up, but today's pewter miniatures are far better looking and more detailed than the lead of 20 years ago, at least when done correctly. Check out most of Reaper's offerings. Is pewter a softer metal? Yeah, but it still holds detail fine.
No, I'm not an Engineer, and I don't work in the miniatures field or even do my own sculpting as a hobby. I do however own tons of miniatures, from back in the 'leaden age' of Grenadier and Ral Partha up to new pewters from Reaper, GZG, Iron Wind Metals and others.
Note: the above is my opinion as a (highly experienced) consumer, not a metalurgist, but from everything I've experienced, pewter holds detail just fine (and from my experience as well as, or better than lead), if it's sculpted into the model.
Also, this doesn't address aesthetics at all, that's a completely different topic and is much more subjective. I do agree however that often 'less is more' as far as doo-dads and greeblies.
Anyway, don't want to start an argument or anything, it's just that one statement caught me as false from my experience.

Actually, SVC is correct. Lead does indeed take and hold detail better than pewter.
You are coreect in that the detail level of current figures has gone up, and that's a combination of better sculptors and better casting techniques... but if Reaper could still cast out of lead, you'd see some truly amazing figures.

Actually, SVC is correct. Lead does indeed take and hold detail better than pewter.
You are coreect in that the detail level of current figures has gone up, and that's a combination of better sculptors and better casting techniques... but if Reaper could still cast out of lead, you'd see some truly amazing figures.
I do own some of the Leaden age figures and being high in lead means they are prone to lead rot. This is when acetic acid in the atmosphere attacks the surface of the metal and produces white lead, this also destroys surface detail. paint and varnish don't help because as they break down they release acetic acid, so does the wooden and cardboard boxes ( with foam inserts) they were stored in. The only prevention is adequate ventilation, if you open a box and can smell a faint amount of vinegar then it is high enough to damage the miniatures

Odd, I thought the whole thing about lead was that it was more malleable. I've heard of people saying that old leaden Battletech figures would get damaged, etcetear if you pressed too hard on them or something like that. Basically, lead was softer, so it would seem that the details would be lost? I dunno.
And to add two cents to an OLD conversation. One of the guys said he was in love with the TMP ships, and thus the FASA ships. I think it all depends upon how a person grew up. If they grew up with a certain type of ship, they're more drawn it to than the others. I for instance played some PBeM game VGA Planets which used the FASA ships to represent ships in the game. So I've always been quite a fan of many FASA ships. But more recently, SFU miniatures have grown on me. Originally, I thought "wow, these have no detail, etcetera" but that's more/less a good thing because it looks like they belong in the show. The gorns for example, look like they could be from TOS. So for the game, I think the miniatures are quite good. Though, I still prefer FASA romulans over any rommies in the starline miniatures. But that's personal preference.
Many of the FASA miniatures look more TMP-era so you can't really compare them to whatever's in starline.
Even if people don't like some of the miniatures, they could build their core fleets with Starline figs like CCs, D7s, War Eagles, tholian scouts, etcetera and then supplement them with ships from other sources. A D7 is a D7.
If anything though, one thing you can't fault SFU for is staying true to the show. Compare it to something like Enterprise, or the new Star Wars trilogy, supposidely "older" shows which have ships which look far more advanced than anything in the originals. If people want old school Star Trek, they'll get it.

I googled this one. It seems that there are a lot of museums that are having this problem. Their model ships have lead fittings which are corroding because they are kept in air-tight display cases. The acetic acid seems to act as a catalyst so the reaction continues until the whole piece is consumed. the painted figures I found were blistered like an old rusty car. White lead (lead carbonate) is toxic so handle with care.
I have removed the affected areas and resculpted lost parts and details and repainted. I will keep an eye on them to see if it re-occurs.

Mike, back in the '80s - there was a line of SFB miniature released designd for the original game map with the 5/8" hexes. The miniatures were about 1" long and there were probably only 15 to 20 different miniatures released.
Had other problems not arisen (aside from miniature production costs), TFG would probably have released others, but alas - it was not meant to be. These miniatures can still be found on ebay from time to time, most often listed as elite scale miniatures. If you endeavor to obtain any of them, be warned... the prices for the cruisers sometimes go right through the roof. Many of us old time gamers purchase the elite scale crusiers for use as PF's (Fast Patrol Ships) in our SFB collections, so bidding on those tends to get out of hand. I think the last set of Federation Heavy Cruisers I won went for 20 some odd dollars for one blister pack... as an example.
Although, I do have about a dozen different Dreadnoughts (in elite scale) that were practically given to me by one of the FLGS when they completely discontinued the entire SFU line. So look around, check ebay, check older game stores, even check-out yard sales and flea markets. I picked up the entire 1st edition Prime Directive stuff (rules / modules / GM screen / and sourcebooks) for a total of $5 at a yard sale a few years ago.
Good luck on your quest.

Scoutdad is right about looking around. One of my local FLGS' had a bunch of elite minis hanging on pegs on the back wall for years and years. I'm sure they would've been happy to sell them to me for a buck a pop if I had asked.

Healthy, On-The-Go Snacks
Beat hunger with these easy recipes!
January 18th, 2013 | 6:00 AM
Life as a busy mom becomes a lot more difficult when you've got hungry kids on your hands. Feed yourself and your family these tasty and wholesome, on-the-go snacks before crankiness and irritability kick in!
Baked Apple Chips (Recipe)
All you need is apples, a baking sheet, and an oven.
You can also dress them up with a sprinkling of cinnamon and/or sugar.
Breakfast Parfait (Recipe)
Use a plastic cup or a mason jar (if you need a lid), and prepare this the night before.
In the morning, all you have to do is add granola, or keep plastic baggies of granola on hand to go – and don't forget a spoon!
If you're interested in making your own granola, check out this recipe from Food Network chef, Alton Brown. It's the most delicious, straightforward granola recipe we've tried.
You can't go wrong with this one.
Combine your favorite nuts, dried fruits (even yogurt-covered raisins), and some pretzel bites, and you've got yourself a crowd-pleasing snack to keep everyone munching in silence.
Whole Wheat Spinach-Turkey Wrap
If you'll be out and about during lunch time, prepare some of these ahead and wrap them up in foil!
Apply your favorite spread (mustard, hummus, pesto, etc), to a whole wheat tortilla, layer on turkey (or meat of choice), and add spinach, tomato, or your favorite veggies.
Show the kids how to peel back the foil as they eat for a mess-free car.
Celery and Peanut Butter Jar
If your kids love ants on a log, throw some raisins into the peanut butter!
Also try this with apples instead of celery — or combine veggie sticks with hummus.
Mini Snack Buffet
Imagine your kids' expressions when you present them with this! Talk about snack heaven!
Grab an empty ice cube tray and load it up with a colorful array of nutrition.
Strawberry-Banana Smoothie (Recipe)
Serve this in a mason jar with a handle, and hit the road!
Try swapping out bananas and strawberries for other fruits, like frozen mango, peaches, blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries.
Butterfly Snack Bag
How cute is this?!
Fill up your butterfly bag with trail mix, blueberries, baby carrots, dried fruits, and your kids' favorite snacks.
Check out Plum District's Pinterest board to view all these on-the-go snacks, and more!

Recommended for the absolute beginner 'The Soft Cheese Kit'. Bit more adventurous, try 'The Combined Cheese Kit'. Throw different cultures into the mix to make your favourite cheese.
Cheese, like bread, beer and wine, has a very long history and for many generations would have been made by each household. As cheese manufacturing became hugely industrialised home cheese making declined. Excitingly, things are changing and making cheese at home is very much on the increase as people want to be more self sufficient. Cheese, as indeed growing your own vegetables, is playing a large part in the food revival sweeping Britain. This can only be a good thing.
Moorlands aim to be the premium supplier of cheese making kits, equipment, advice and support for individuals who care where their food comes from, what it contains and how it can benefit their health.
Our cheese making kits make excellent unusual Christmas and birthday presents, becoming very popular as the perfect wedding gift too, being practical, exciting and very rewarding.
Moorlands are proud to be supplying a large number of hotels, restaurants and delicatessens who wish to offer a selection of home made cheeses on their cheese boards.
Food technology centres, universities, schools and colleges order cheese making equipment on a regular basis, to use in food technology lectures, experiments and trials.
Shopping direct online is increasingly seen as the 'Greener' way to go, having a much lower carbon footprint than conventional retail shopping, so its very important to us you find our web site straight forward and easy to use and enjoy your visit. If not please let us know firstname.lastname@example.com , telephone 01963350634 or write to us at Moorlands Cheesemakers, Lorien House, South Street, Castle Cary, Somerset. BA7 7ES
If you would like any technical advice before placing an order, please feel free to contact Chris Ashby, of AB Cheesemaking, firstname.lastname@example.com . As well as being on hand to offer technical advice Chris also runs short cheese making courses, details of which can be found on the page headed ' Courses' on our web site. * PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT CHRIS CONCERNING ORDERS. The number to call is 01963350634 or email email@example.com . * Thank you.

Career Center
Your career starts here
Successful Union College alumni around the globe—doctors and hospital presidents, teachers and preachers, accountants and performers—whatever their profession, had the help of the Career Center in achieving their goals. We offer career counseling, graduate school search assistance, testing services, internship and student employment placement ... and much more. Stop by and see us sometime. We're located on the lower level of the atrium in the Don Love Building.
Are you a maximizer? Full of WOO? The StrengthsFinder will tell you (and also explain what those terms mean). The survey was developed by the Gallup Organization here in Lincoln to help you identify your top five strengths and explain how to build on them. This will aid in choosing a major and a career, but also has more immediate uses, such as finding what roles you best play when working on a group assignment.
Strong Interest Inventory
Why work every day for the rest of your life when you can do something you love? The Strong Interest Inventory will help you better understand your interests, preferences and personal styles and will suggest courses and career paths that you will likely find rewarding and enjoyable. If you study something you love, you are much more likely to graduate and stick with your career down the road.
Focus 2 career guide
Much like the Strong Interest Inventory, the Focus 2 online career guide can help you understand your skills and passions and select a course of study. The sooner you choose a major and career path, the more likely you are to get through college in four years—even if it isn't the major you graduate with.
Each of these assessments is an in-depth inventory, so take your time and really think about the answers to the questions. Taking a little time now can save a lot of time (and your parents' money) later.
If you've never done the Focus 2, click on the link Focus 2 and create a new account for yourself. The access code for Union College is: warriors.
Career Counseling
If you've taken all the tests and still can't decide on a major or career path, Stan Hardt, Union's career guidance counselor, can help. After evaluating the reports from your assessments, he will discuss career choices and provide guidance in both your professional and personal life.
Career Fair
To give you a glimpse into the working world, the Career Center hosts a career fair each year. Take the opportunity to network with a variety of people, practice talking with employers, learn about different companies and find an internship or job.
Spend a day with a pro
The Career Center can arrange for you to spend time on the job with someone who works in that field. We have a large database of local professionals who will show you the ropes so you can decide if the profession is right for you.
Get your résumé noticed
When applying for most jobs, your résumé and cover letter will be the first impression for a prospective employer, so make it a good one. The Career Center staff can review your résumé and cover letter to help you use proper style, accentuate the positive and get noticed by your future boss.

About Axe
I would like to let your company know that for three years I have been ordering bats from you and I have always had a young man named Clint help me and put my orders in through him. I just wanted to let you know how nice, helpful and sweet he is. He has always treated me with the utmost respect, always called me back if needed, and always given me a lot of helpful information on my orders. He is just a wonderful representative of your company. I will continue to order for your company as long as he is working for you. Thanks you.
