Oh...you won't be alone. I have way too many 2400s to forget all of them. And I know some other people around here are the same way.

I'm right with Paul. The resin 2500 minis are an extremely cool new thing and I'm very happy with how they turned out, but I have too many 2400s to just walk away from them. Lots of money invested in decals at that scale, etc.
I'll finish them, over time. Which is pretty much the same pace as they've always been under.
Once they're done, when I'm old and (more) gray, I might sell the whole collection. Or not.

Well, after being away for a long time (I cannot believe it hass been nearly a year. . .at least my minis thread has not slipped to page 2 like last time), and packing up 90% of my workbench for part of that time, I thought I would start off small. . .and deadly.
An Orion Advanced Light Raider.
The SSD for this ship is identical to the non-X version except for the engine size and the extra FA option mount. And the line art in Module X1 is also identical to the other LR line art seen. So initially, that is all I did, using the same technique that I used for my Medium Raider (back on page 2) I widened the engines (using plastic card this time instead of brass sheet for the support) and added the extra forward option mount:
You will notice that added some putty above the wings - they are just way too thin (~0.6 mm) and can easily break off, so this helps to support them).
But the mini as a whole just did not sit well with me. I like to have my X-ships noticeably different. The real problem is that this mini is so. . . well. . .
, and there is not a lot one can do with it (i.e. sand it down and give it a
go fast
look) before you run out of actual metal. So after thinking for a bit,
**parallel technology development handwavium hat on**
I came up with the idea that perhaps the Orions had run into the same issues as the Kzinti did with their Fast Battlecruiser and noticed that the increased warp field put too much strain on the wings of the ship.
**parallel technology development handwavium hat off**
So I decided to beef up the wings. I did not want to lose the existing detail on either side of them (note that I had to redo one of the passive sensor grids already), so instead of making them thicker, I added an extra expansion wing to the rear. And again since the mini is so small, the wings could not just be glued to the back of the existing ones, so I filed out a notch for the wing to connect to the hull and then ran a steel pin along the underside to support the new wing and connect it to the old one and the hull.
I needed to hide the pins used to support the wings so I covered them with putty. I figure these represent the cargo facilities on the ship for storing all the loot it would be able to grab. Normally that space is already in the hull of the ship, but I will invoke the friend of every starship modeler (handwavium) and say the X-systems of the ship like the phasers (or targeting gear, cooling equipment), impulse engines (stabilizers, etc.) and batteries are likely to take up more room than their non-X counterparts. These probably would have looked better if they were smaller, but I had another idea in mind when I attached them to the hull.
My initial idea (which at the time I thought was awesome:)) was to use the end of the steel pin as a weapon mount, so I left that little bit out in front. However, after working on the mini some more, putting it down, cleaning up some other stock orions, I realized that the front of the pin really only covered the FA and R/L arcs. Coupled with that is the only systems in the wings are a tractor beam and the option mount and both have LS/RS arcs. . .so these two pins would not work! Unfortunately, I did not realize this until I had attached the pin and puttied over it. So rather than tear it apart, I just covered the front up a bit more, making these newer cargo areas larger. That is what I get for having inspiration and not checking the SSD until I was well underway with that idea . . .
After that I added some putty to the front underside to accommodate the second option mount, thickened the sides since the parent mini was not quite even or straight at that location, filed down the front to make it even on both sides, beefed up the option mounts on the wingtips, and then added the tractor beam emplacements on the wings (the small squares at the dividing point between the existing metal wings and the plastic ones I added - I was not going to try and add the forward facing rectangular protuberances like in all the art since the wings are sooooo thin).
Here it is finished underneath and compared to a standard light raider:
Overall, the mini does not match the line art as much anymore, but it is more unique and distinguishable. And since it is Orion, so I will use yet more handwavium to say that the extra mass cannot be easily detected due to the stealth coating on the ship (and by the time it is...it is normally too late).
More pics on the NEW page.
Note: it is UBER annoying that php is still not letting me use contractions, elipses, quotes, or dashes (the double hyphen) in any of my posts if I copy text from a word processing program. They all show up fine when I see the preview, but once I submit my post, it gets cut off after any of these punctuation marks appear in my text. . .I have had to submit this post a dozen time and see where it got cut off each time then go back and find the taboo punctuation (really annoying).
Is it just me that cannot use them? I know it would drive Jean crazy if she could not use proper punctuation all the time.

Nice mini Paul and nice to see you back at work.
Regarding the posting issues, you might have more luck if you copy-paste your text to a simple text program (like Notepad on Windows) first. Since a simple program like that doesn't support any funky formatting, etc., it will strip it out. If you then copy it from that program and paste it into the post field on the board, then it might behave better.
This is an old trick, to strip formatting out of text that UNIX and/or html hate.

Yeah, that's what I do asw well.
I typically paste it into notepad and then from there into the php forum.
The extra step sucks, but it beats the repeated submit... edit...submit...edit...submit... that I have to go through otherwise.
Oh, and good work, Paul. Can't wait to see them painted up.

Associated Press
HEBER SPRINGS, Ark. (AP) -- Mindy McCready threatened suicide after losing custody of her sons earlier this month, yet she was allowed to leave a court-ordered drug rehabilitation program just days before she apparently killed herself at her Arkansas home, her ex-boyfriend said Monday.
Billy McKnight, who was in a long, stormy relationship with McCready and is the father of her oldest child, Zander, said the 37-year-old mother of two stayed in the substance abuse treatment center for about 18 hours before she was allowed to walk free.
McCready died Sunday at her home in Heber Springs, a vacation community about 65 miles north of Little Rock. She was found dead on the front porch, where her longtime boyfriend, musician David Wilson, died last month of a gunshot wound to the head. Authorities are investigating both deaths as suicides but haven't determined an official cause of death.
McKnight told The Associated Press during a phone interview from Tampa, Fla., that McCready and Wilson, the father of her youngest son, were recently engaged. He wondered how she was allowed to go free, given all the turmoil in her life.
"That was a big mistake on the part of whoever released her," McKnight said. "She was in a terrible state of mind. She doesn't perform any more. She wasn't working. She has two kids and her fiance was just killed. There's no way she should be out by herself in a lonely house with nothing but booze and pills. That was a really, really bad mistake, and the end result is tragic."
Arkansas courts were closed for the holiday Monday, so local case documents weren't immediately available.
Neighbors reported hearing two shots Sunday afternoon when they called the Cleburne County Sheriff's Office. Authorities found Wilson's dog dead next to McCready's body at the home, where yellow crime-scene tape looped through a grove of pine trees and around the one-story brick house Monday afternoon.
"Based on what we have found at the scene at this time, we do believe that she took the life of the dog that we are being told by family members belonged to Mr. Wilson before she took her own life," Sheriff Marty Moss said.
The sheriff said McCready's two sons were safe. McKnight said the boys remained in foster care, where they were at the time of their mother's death. McKnight said he was trying to get custody of his son, Zander, but that he was not privy to what was happening with her other son, Zayne, who was born last year.
McCready's sons were put in foster care and she was ordered into rehab earlier this month after McCready's father expressed concern. He told a judge his daughter had stopped taking care of her children and herself after Wilson's death, and that she was abusing alcohol and prescription drugs.
Moss said McCready's cause of death would be released soon, but that "all indicators" point to suicide. Her body has been sent to the state crime lab for autopsy.
For all the highs McCready had early in her career, thanks to the spunky anti-chauvinist hit "Guys Do It All The time," and her first album, "Ten Thousand Angels," which has sold more than 2 million copies, there were many more lows. She previously attempted suicide at least three times, and her fragile state of mindwas always a concern to family and friends. She acknowledged in a 2010 interview that her life was turbulent at times, sometimes self-inflicted.
Over the years her relationships often made the biggest headlines. McKnight was charged with attempted murder after being arrested for beating and choking her. She claimed to be in a long relationship with baseball great Roger Clemens that started when she was 15 and he was 28 and married, but Clemens denied the relationship. She was once engaged to actor Dean Cain.
She also was arrested several times on drug charges, probation violations and a misdemeanor assault charge against her mother.
But there was a period in her life where McCready thought she might be able to escape that pattern. She reluctantly joined the "Celebrity Rehab 3" cast with Dr. Drew Pinsky, and left the show believing she might be able to change.
"She was doing great," Bob Forrest, a chemical dependency counselor who frequently works with Pinsky and appeared on the show, told the AP on Monday. "She would go through these periods of three to six months where she didn't want to drink, didn't have an interest in drinking. And if she didn't drink, she didn't do drugs."

Style of the Oyster Perpetual
The aesthetics of the Oyster Perpetual models set them apart as symbols of universal and classic style. They embody timeless form and function, firmly rooted in the pioneering origins of Rolex. The simplicity of an original.
Function of the Oyster Perpetual
The Oyster case is guaranteed waterproof to a depth
of 100 metres (330 feet). Its middle case is crafted exclusively from a solid block of particularly corrosion‑resistant 904L steel.
The fluted case back is hermetically screwed down with a special tool exclusive to Rolex watchmakers. Another core component in the watertight structure is the winding crown fitted with the patented Twinlock double waterproofness system, which screws down securely against the case. The Oyster case provides the high-precision Rolex movement with optimal protection from water, dust, pressure and shocks.
Hans Wilsdorf
Spirit of the Oyster Perpetual
The history of Rolex is inextricably linked to the visionary spirit of Hans Wilsdorf, its founder. The young man entered the world of Swiss watchmaking in the early 20th century at a time when the pocket watch was the order of the day.
He began to dream of a watch worn on the wrist. Wristwatches were not very precise at the time, but Hans Wilsdorf foresaw that they could become not only elegant, but also reliable. To convince the public of the reliability of his resolutely innovative timepieces, he equipped them with small, very precise movements manufactured by a Swiss watchmaking company in Bienne.
A piece of History
Spirit of the Oyster Perpetual
The Oyster collection was built on the success of the original Oyster model invented and patented by Rolex in 1926. As the first waterproof wristwatch in the world, it played a pioneering role in the development of the modern wristwatch.
Over the years, the Oyster became the proud bearer of many other innovations – such as self-winding by means of the Perpetual rotor – that defined the identity of the different models, forged Rolex's reputation for excellence and often went on to set watchmaking standards.
The Quest for Chronometric Precision
Spirit of the Oyster Perpetual
Rolex first concentrated on the quality of the movements. The relentless quest for chronometric precision rapidly led to success. In 1910, a Rolex watch was the first wristwatch in the world to receive the Swiss Certificate of Chronometric Precision, granted by the Official Watch Rating Centre in Bienne.
Four years later, in 1914, Kew Observatory in Great Britain awarded a Rolex wristwatch a class "A" precision certificate, a distinction which until that point in time had been reserved exclusively for marine chronometers. From that date forward, the Rolex wristwatch was synonymous with precision.
Spirit of the Oyster Perpetual
In 1931, Rolex invented and patented a self-winding mechanism with a free rotor, called the Perpetual rotor, based on a principle that would later be adopted by the whole watchmaking industry. The Oyster then became the Oyster Perpetual, and this designation has also appeared ever since on the dials of all models in the collection – with the exception of certain decorated and gem-set dials – to indicate that they are waterproof and feature a self‑winding movement.
Stainless Steel
Rolex uses 904L stainless steel for its steel watch cases. 904L is mainly used in the high technology, aerospace and chemical industries, where maximum resistance to corrosion is essential. A superalloy, 904L is extremely resistant and highly polishable. It maintains its beauty even in the harshest environments. 904L steel also provides a perfect complement to the precious metals used by Rolex.
The Oyster Perpetual Movement
The self-winding mechanism consists of a half-moon-shaped oscillating weight, which pivots freely on its central axle, in one direction, then the other with the natural movements of the wrist. It transmits uninterrupted natural energy to the watch.
The oscillations of the weight create energy which is stored in the mainspring. Today, a Rolex watch enjoys an autonomy of approximately 50 hours. The Perpetual rotor system of the Oyster movements is recognisable by two red reversing wheels that allow the rewinding of the movement regardless of the rotation direction of the oscillating weight.
A Superlative Chronometer
The four simple words Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified on a Rolex watch dial mean that the very movement inside the timepiece has endured 15 days and nights of testing by COSC (Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres – Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute), an independent not-for-profit association.
To receive COSC certification as a Swiss chronometer, a watch must demonstrate extreme precision in a variety of positions and temperatures. Rolex is unique in the industry: this is the standard level of quality required of every Rolex wristwatch movement.
Oyster Bracelet
The Oyster bracelet is a perfect alchemy of form and function, aesthetics and technology. First introduced in the late 1930s, this particularly robust and comfortable metal bracelet with its broad, flat three-piece links remains the most universal bracelet in the Oyster collection.

From the mouth of the dragon.
The RealID changes to Blizzard's official forums are unequivocally unethical and potentially dangerous. The community response on their official forums -- as well as nearly every fansite -- is huge and overwhelmingly negative.
Blizzard's stated goal is to help reduce trolling on the forums. The idea is that when a poster has an identity they can't escape, they're less likely to threaten their reputation. Their other, less-discussed goal is the creation of a Blizzard-owned Facebook which they can directly monetize and which can also provide an advertising platform for future games.
They're doing this entirely at the expense of your personal privacy. If you want to use a service you had used in the past, you now have to be willing to post your real name to the public alongside every post.
Here's where the problems are:
This move probably will get rid of trolls. It is certain to get rid of a lot of good posters, too. Unfortunately, the forums are also one of their main avenues for both customer and technical support, and users are often redirected to them even while on the phone w/ those departments.
- Employment -- Posting to Blizzard's forums will now show up for any employer doing a search on your name. Given Blizzard's search engine rankings, you can bet this will be pretty high up on the list of results. No matter how unfair, many employers will look on this negatively.
- Women -- Many women playing the game choose to conceal their gender to avoid harassment. Whether fair or not, posting publicly with their real name will not only be uncomfortable for some but could very well lead to direct sexual harassment in and out of game.
- Minors -- Any parent will need to be far more concerned about their children's activities on Blizzard sites than they currently are. This is especially true in any case where a child's real name can be found or their address can be tracked.
- Uncommon Names -- Anyone with an uncommon name can much more easily be tracked.
- Security & Hacked Accounts -- Blizzard is not doing a good job safeguarding accounts. If they have another breach in their account system, it won't matter how clean your own computer is -- a malicious user could be posting under your name, leaving a permanent and damaging trail.
You will never see another post from me on their forums. I've already given my name out via other platforms, but those were my choice, and those were done in a setting where I can completely control how a potential employer views it. I know a number of other good users who are being faced with this same decision and coming to the same conclusion.
You don't need to be a security or privacy rights advocate to understand how bad this can be for you or your friends on a personal level.
From the mouth of the dragon.
READ THIS: Posting & Chat Rules
Seriously, why should good posters be punished because of trolls? Definitely not a smart move.
How I wish this was a dirty April Fools joke given out a little late.
It's unfortunate that Blizzard is prepaired to lose alot of loyal Blizzard fans over idiotic moves like this.
Totally agree with this. This is a total mistake by blizzard that will do nothing but destory the communites, and maybe even games, they have created.
Nice how Blizzard won't take the time to moderate their forums, they want us to do that too. First gold spammers, then battleground afk'ers and now trolls? Who needs to take responsibility of what now?
This will be very interesting to watch. To see how far Blizzard is willing to go until they snap out of it, and if they snap, what their backup plan is. Also, interesting to watch the community's reaction beyond this initial outcry.
But I agree, of course. Never going to post under my real name. I expect the forums to pretty much die out from this, which sucks for the tons of developper feedback we've been witnessing since WotLK.
If you want to stop people trolling on your forums, there are much less controversial methods available (restrict posting to once per day, make people choose an account alias of there own etc). in effect, what is happening now. It's just people are sensitive about there own name. If I could say "I want all posts made on this account to be made under the alias of "Fetzie" (my current main) I would have zero problems with the idea. But I have been active on the official boards for the past 3 years, I know what kind of people there are there. I do not want those people to know my name. I have no problem telling guildies what town I live in, what my email address is, but to give those people that data? I for one will not be posting on the new version of the WoW forums.
Technical expertise can be found elsewhere if something goes wrong. I haven't needed to post in the GM moderated forum for an issue of my own yet (I have helped others on that forum). If I want to talk about a topic I have TankSpot, MainTankadin, the Blue Panda forums, MMO-Champion, all of which do not publish my personal details for all to see.
I can see this greatly effecting those who are testing new content also. Especially the beta forums. If I was a beta tester I would not be posting anything in the forums for the simple fact that beta testing does not give them permission to post my name. Even if they changed it to First name, last initial.
If I'm posting in a public forum the ONLY thing that readers need to know about me is the Character or Forum name that I wish to post as.
Only my friends know my real name.. and due to the line of buisness that I'm in and also my personal life I don't wish for it to be any other way.
My RL name is very rare. In fact if you know my first and last name you will come up with only one result on facebook. I will not be posting on any Blizzard forums if my real name appears. They should just have made a permanent "nickname" for all of battle.net
I don't know why they are taking "this" route.
I fully agree with Ciderhlem. And while I agree with the issue of privacy being comprised, what scares me more is that I could put my future at stake for simply playing a video game. What if my future employer googles my name and sees my recruitment thread I bumped multiple times a day? What if someone in a gay and lesbian friendly guild gets googled by their employer? I don't post on alts and I never say anything questionable, but even playing video games in itself can be questionable in the eyes of many employers. I'm frankly scared of this change, and while being pretty laid-back about most changes, even ones I dislike, Real ID may eventually be the reason I quit playing.
Maybe Blizzard thinks this is a strong business move, but I desperately hope they look at these communities and see that the response is almost fully negative. They are chasing off a lot of us, and the more they do with Real ID, the more people there are who will leave. This isn't good.
On the note of trolls, why can't they just make all accounts under one character? That way, even if you're posting on an alt, everyone can still see your other 80's? Your privacy isn't compromised and the troll population has been decreased.
I'd have to say this is overall a terrible move. Many people play World of Warcraft not just for fun, but as an escape from the "Real World". Having your real world brought up on the forums or the game itself is just not what many paying customers want OR need. Why this can't just be used between good close friends instead of the entire public is beyond me. Give people serial numbers like ICQ to give out and then let them assign a battle.net alias instead of their real name. Completely stupid Blizzard, just completely stupid.
Very well written.
A lot of privacy concern had risen from the introduction of Real ID and the lack of an "alternative name" that can be attached to battlenet accounts.
I am surprised they ignored all the concerns, considered the launch of Real ID to be a success, and is now attempting to cross another threshold.
I hope Blizzard will finally realize what a mess they have gotten into from that 10k+ negative responses across various medium. I know my privacy has already by compromised since I started using the Read ID service to connect to my friends over SC2 (no other ways to reliable add friends) and in WoW even though I had been extremely careful about who to make real ID friends with.
My first post on the forums to say I whole-heartedly agree. I've cross-posted something I wrote in response to someone else on the issue.
It's not a matter of pride or people hiding who they are. We don't have to deal with this anonymity problem generally in our real lives. Each place we go is compartmentalized generally with relatively little overlap.
For example, I can go out to the bar with friends and we have our conversations, our modes of speak, and a shared level of knowledge that we feel comfortable sharing. We may go to our therapist and have a different set of conversations and shared knowledge. We then go to work, to the gym, to a store, etc.
The issue with the internet is that these places aren't compartmentalized. They're cross-referenceable. A name is one of the ways to draw together all the threads. The anonymity on the Internet allows us to take back some of that privacy that the Internet is inherently not designed to provide. This doesn't mean that people should misrepresent themselves wherever they choose to associate, but it does mean that I shouldn't have to use information that unnecessarily connects my different associations online.
In a future Internet that behaves this way, should someone need to fear when they go post on some medical forum or legal forum for advice and guidance, and then that gets dredged up when someone posts on a discussion board or another gaming board?
Just because someone knows your name, doesn't end your life. Clearly it doesn't. It doesn't guarantee that your identity gets stolen. It doesn't necessarily mean anything. But it's a lot more threatening than people give it credit for. It's just a sign of the time, perhaps. In an age where the day after someone like Joe the Plumber appears on the scene, Internet sleuths can find out if he owes back taxes, ever had any tickets, whether he's a real plumber, etc and cast serious aspersion on his character and his life, do we really want to turn a blind eye while companies like Blizzard help with this?
Think about the politicians who end up having to drop out of races because of something they wrote in college. Politicians and celebrities have to go through therapy and training to deal with the increased scrutiny and decreased privacy that they typically have. Attaching our personally identifiable information to things we do online is just one step towards making that the norm for everybody.
The answer to this is persistent aliases. Let me choose how I want to be called, but make me stick to it and not arbitrarily change that. That's fair. Now, I'm accountable for what I write, but I have no fear that what I say no matter how innocuous can be linked back to something else. If someone wants to write in a thread about Gay Gaming or something like that, they don't have to be worried that that gets traced back to their facebook, to their work, or wherever.
There're far larger philosophical and practical considerations to this than just the exact repercussions of Blizzard posting your name next to your whine about TvZ balance. Sometimes you have to look one step farther on these things.
All that really needed to be done is to show all characters linked to a post. So if you post on your main, people could see posts from your alts as well. Hiding behind level 1's would be worthless.
I also don't see how this stops trolls from using fake names when creating a battle.net account. Making a battle.net account is free too, so I don't understand how this would deter anything Starcraft II trolling.
Everything is FABULOUS with warrior tanks again.
There are also those people who, harboring no malice or ill intent, prefer to remain anonymous online. In many ways, being anonymous can be extremely freeing. Those who normally worry about racial, religious, or sexual harassment, just to name a few, can escape and say what they like as an equal. The age, gender, and nationality of each poster is viewed as roughly the same. If you choose, you can reveal things about yourself relevant to your argument. If not, you can be another of the faceless masses yearning to speak free.
By attaching real names to posts Blizzard will undoubtably see a reduction in spam, flame, and trolls. They will see that reduction if you count by volume. What will also happen is that the trolls that remain will have access to more information, even with just your name. The quantity may go down, but the quality, for lack of a better term, will skyrocket. In very short order, even those who have something helpful to add, or those who genuinely need assistance from Blizzard will stay away. The quality of the game will suffer along with the community.
I actually feel bad for the community managers and other Blizzard employees for two reasons:
1. I can't imagine that all Blizzard employees would want their real name out there to the world. But yet they are forced to post if it is in their job description to do so.
2. I can foresee many forum/community employees at Blizzard losing their job over this. Once the RealID system is put live, I'm almost positive that the forum use will plummet, and there just won't be a need for all of those community managers to stick around.
But after the overwhelmingly negative response, I have hope Blizzard forgets this system, or at least modifies it heavily. I personally don't see the problem with giving someone a one month ban for trolling on forums.
I dont feel bad for them at all. If at one time they felt it was a good idea, when it backfires right in their face, they will learn it wasnt. It might be learning the hard way but everyone at one time in their life learns something the hard way.
The weather is here, wish you were beautiful.
Forum waste land comes to mind, seeing that most are far from even tolerating it.
Implenting a social community structure or actually enforcing it on people who use games to break from their daily routine to just have some fun time, under an alias. Where they can be whoever is one of the attractive points in playing mmoRPg's and suddenly being linked to real life social structures again and possibly hindered by it is far from a succes story.
It's one thing to be offensive it's another to just be yourself after 8 hours or more after your daily routine and then go on a game forum and then possibly face real life repercussions for doing so.
Sure people are less likely to troll, but that's because people will be less likely to post in general as you don't want your name showing up on a game forums under a simple google search where you said something less political correct or even seen 'nerdy' as let's face it. While gaming has moved away from basement lan parties only it's still a very taboo subject.
While you don't have to care for what other people think, your future employer might google your name. Might make the link and the consequences are yours. A risk i'm not sure many are willing to take and if those people are your regular constructive posters and testers.
I'm fairly certain if people want to be part of such social networks they already are by now and if they want their friends to know they play online video games as a pass time, they already let them know.
RealID in it's core is a great idea to let everyone chat across every game without typical boundries, but WoW is not Facebook or Myspace.

Raise your car easily with car jacks from Sears
No matter if you have a smaller car or a large truck, you can find car jacks to raise your vehicle off the ground. Sears carries hundreds of heavy-duty car jacks that can lift between one and 10 tons. Select from bottle, floor and scissor jacks from Craftsman Professional and OTC, and choose the Craftsman motorcycle and ATV jack to raise your vehicle to a comfortable working position. Whether you need an individual jack or a set that includes a creeper, Sears has car jacks to lift your car or truck.
You need quality mechanics tool sets in your workshop if you plan to change the tires, replace parts on the engine or install a new oil filter. We have name brand Craftsman and Stanley tool sets that feature more than 500 tools and accessories like socket wrenches and hex keys. Invest in the 540-piece Craftsman tool set, and have the tools you need on hand when working on the car. Some tool sets come with lift-top storage chests so that you have a place to organize and store your new tools.
When you can't repair the problem yourself, bring your car to Sears for chassis alignment services. We have trained professionals that can diagnose your car troubles and repair the problem all in the same day. Select from 6-month to 3-year alignment services that include suspension and steering evaluations. We also hang and calibrate the heads, and we make the adjustments to ensure that your car runs at its best. Our services include guarantees, so you can bring your car back into the shop if you experience any malfunctions.
Complement your tool set with personalized mechanics tools from Craftsman. Whether you work as a mechanic or as a DIY car owner, you need a set of socket wrenches and nut drivers for tightening bolts and installing new parts on your car engine. Like the mechanics tool sets, some personalized tools come with cases for organizing your most-used tools in the shop. Invest in a smaller Dr. Socket set for removing the lug nuts when you change the tires, or consider a larger Craftsman tool set that includes hex keys and tools for installing and removing smaller parts.
Raise your car off the ground with a heavy-duty Craftsman car jack, and use your personalized mechanics tools to work on the engine or change an oil filter. Personalized mechanics tools come in handy for installing and removing large and small car parts, and our chassis alignment services work best for when you can't fix the problem yourself. Bring your car to Sears for a collection of name brand automotive parts and car accessories for your vehicle.

Power Of The PURR
Hello everyone, it's Cloon's Human here with a request for purrs for my Clooney. He's a proud little guy and a tough little cookie, reminding me of the Energizer Bunny...so I'm sure he wouldn't want me to be making a big fuss over him. But us Humans can get a little worried about our furry families...
Clooney has an appointment at the V-E-T on Tuesday, July 5th 9AM PST where he will be undergoing anesthesia to have some x-rays done. A bump had appeared two weeks ago along the left side of his nose and they need to determine if it is an abscessed tooth root. He also is being checked for nasal polyps, which is a separate matter, as is his right ear which has something blocking the view of his eardrum (hopefully only wax). When I adopted him from the rescue I was told he had sensitivity to anesthetic at the time of his neutering, so that has also added to my concern for him. I have been very worried the last few weeks as my furry family is my biggest area of vulnerability. But I believe in the power of the purr in numbers and would like to ask all who have visited our blog in the past 2 years to think good thoughts for Clooney. My wish and prayer is that nothing serious shows in the x-rays and that Clooney does well under the anesthetic and recovers with ease from the anesthetic and all the procedures and is in good health.
I had asked Ann from Zoolatry for a graphic of him. The above is a sidebar tag if anyone so wishes to use it. My appreciation and gratitude to everyone in advance. I mean "The Cloon" needs to be in tip-top shape for his 5th Birthday on July 14, 2011! Not to mention he's got a Num-Num Fund to run!

We'll purr and purray fur Cloon. If da vet knows which anesthesia was used the first time there are different ones he can use that don't give the same reaction. Sadie has a sensitivity to anesthesia so when they did her teeth they used something else and she was fine, believe me, I worried and stressed the whole day until they called.

"The Boys" and I will most certainly send along purrs and prayers for good vet new for Clooney.
Having made trips to the vet in the last couple of weeks for our three, we can relate to your concerns.
I'll also add Cloon's graphic to Kittens 'n Things.

Hey Cloon, you Most Precious ManCat! Our paws are crossed, Our purrs are ramped up to Diesel-Levels and QM is lighting her special votive with her prayers as well to Guide the V-E-T's hand and knowledge of what may be ailing you, and make all well in very short order. You are Emo-Mari's Main Heart-Throb, so HER purrayers are sent up even as she dreams of you.
Mom, QM's Heart goes out to you. Our ManCats mean the World to us - well, all Our furbabies, but when a ManCat has his Mistress wrapped around his paw, the ache that goes deep in Our chest is almost debilitating. We know. And we wait to hear the Good Word, that will be some 30 hours from now - trust in The Universal Love surrounding you all, by the Blogosphere, the kindest gathering of felines and their humans on this Earth!
Blessings & Peace,
Emily Marigold
and QM Rose

The 32nd floor of Liverpool Street's imposing new build, the Heron Tower, was the setting for the first show of today: Preen. Olivia Palermo, Leigh Lezark and Michelle Violy Harper were front of house, but backstage the models were lined up and armed with a message from a motivational poster created by the label's design duo, Thea Bragazzi and Justin Thornton, reading: "You are a pioneer. You walk tall, effortless and proud. A modern woman with intelligence. Strength and desirability. Enjoy! Love love love from Preen." Lo and behold - these clothes were modern, intelligent, strong and VERY desirable!
Modern? In their refined and elegant silhouettes – i.e. even Preen's fun experiments on volume didn't encompass the entire body, just half – like the slightly bustled skirts - which is far more forgiving. The clothes were intelligent, in so far as their skilled pattern-cutting looked like dreamy body-flattering perfection. And each item came complete with all of those little, but oh-so-important, details – like just the right shiny silver zips for the job, intricate crystal-work that doesn't look cheap (even on a fluffy jumper) or the contrast-colour trim that updated every single blouse collar.
The palette was a classic – black, red, and white – but in no way was their concoction of printed checks, leopard print, devoré, graphic lines, crystals, leather and lace the same old, same old. Strength came from fiercely well-cut tailoring and biker jacket references, as well as some GBH-ready pointed heels. Sexy black lace played peekaboo during an interlude of Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsbourg's infamous 'Je T'aime' - surely fulfilling the desirability factor. But true desirability factor lies in the factor that while Preen's clothes are forward-thinking and never dull, they're truly wearable. Feminine but not frou frou. Easy but not sloppy, model-off-duty. Smart but never stuffy. It's no wonder the chic likes of Olivia P remain firm fans.

There is also a pumpkin pie contest, so if you've got a family favorite make sure to bring it to the event. Prizes will be awarded to the winners.

Rend's not much a dps increase if it pushes back BT/WW. If you can do it quick in between cd's, it averages out to be higher than a non-crit hs, but slightly lower than a crit hs. I think of the stance dancing as giving up a hs, which more often than not will crit, so I find its not too worth it anymore. For you it might, since you have less haste, but like you said, you're watching your fellow raiders, so probably not worth it.
Get some more haste. Your stats are at the point now where haste scales fairly decently as it is the only way to increase the number of hs's. Rage isn't a problem anyway.
And you're gear is far better than mine (I'm a 12k guy), so take what I say with a grain of salt.
