I love the dragon, but had a lot of trouble printing it either without support or with full support. So I pulled it into Sketchup and fiddled with pillar supports until it came out without screwing up. YMMV.

Weird. The one shown is the one I printed using my Rep2 and Makerware. I ended up making 3 of various sizes without the effect you mention. But that was a while ago, Makerware has changed plenty since then. I will try it again and see if I get the same issue.
I tried printing this on Makerbot Replicator 2 using Makerware as the slicer. It went awry about halfway through the wings, printing all subsequent layers about 20 mm over to the right of where they should be. I wonder if there are glitches in the model that causes problems for Makerware?

Can someone post a version of the stl that is useable with Slic3r and Pronterface. I'm using Slic3r v0.9.9-dev and Pronterface (Printrun-Win-Slic3r-12July2013). When I load the gcode from Slic3r into Printrun, it gives an message asking me to check the g-code for errors. I tried printing the result anyway and had the same problem as Belatu - the g-code image isn't the same as the original image and it prints horribly. I also tried repairing the repaired file with Netfab basic and cloud, but that wasn't successful either. Any help is appreciated. Thanks for sharing a wonderful dragon.
I sliced with slic3r and started printing this this morning and left for the office, and came home to find it printing what i can only describe as a mold. no idea why, but I'll try again tonight.
nice, way to go! I'm glad you were able to print off the dragon. It took me a few tries before I was able to print off that dragon.
Going to be a happy son tomorrow :) He loves dragons. Thanks

When someone says to me
Eat this or why aren't you eating my answer is usually: Do I look like I'm starving? I'm a bit overweight/chubby/festively plump, so the answer is obvious.
Usually shuts them up until next time.
The big thing I learned when I was actually in Weight Watchers was that some people like being spoilers because subconsciously they are jealous of someone losing weight. You have to remember you're losing weight for you, not for them. And you can say that: I'm trying to lose weight…for me. Will you at least help me by not offering me food all the time?
If someone asked me what is wrong because I was not eating something, I would say, "I'm overweight so I'm trying to eat healthy."
I don't know how overweight you are, but it's always better to be honest and not ashamed. They should be ashamed for not offering to help.

PHILADELPHIA Weary from the heat and humidity and the whipping wind and the sheer experience of 10 innings in the afternoon sun against the two-time defending National League champions, Padres first baseman Adrian Gonzalez looked up from his seat in the visitors clubhouse at Citizens Bank Park.
"In my opinion, that's probably the worst game we've played all year," Gonzalez said. "Make that the worst game. We made dumb errors. Today was one of those days where we just weren't there defensively."
Then those eyebrows of his danced a little.
"We gave them every opportunity, and we pulled it out," said Gonzalez of the 6-5 triumph Sunday over the Philadelphia Phillies. "To me, that's the sign of a team that's going to stay in contention."
Indeed, with 8 1/3 innings of scoreless pitching by four different relievers and Oscar Salazar's pinch-hit single to score Chase Headley in the 10th, the Padres beat the Phils to recover from a second inning in which all their wheels seemed to be coming off at once. Having already homered in the first, Gonzalez helped the Padres climb out of their mess with an RBI single in the fifth, and then Nick Hundley tied it with his solo homer in the fifth.
But, after the Padres had either flung the ball away or not caught it the way they usually do as the majors' top defensive club, it was an outfield play that seemed most critical to San Diego's first win in three games this trip. Center fielder Tony Gwynn, who'd been thrown out at third two innings earlier, scooped up Chase Utley's looping single and nailed Placido Polanco at third for the second out in the bottom of the 10th.

15 Million Pounds of SpaghettiOs Recalled
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Campbell Soup (CPB) is recalling 15 million pounds of SpaghettiOs with meatballs following a cooker malfunction at one of its Texas plants.
The malfunction resulted in undercooked meat, the Agriculture Department announced Thursday evening.
The SpaghettiO meals being recalled consist of children's meals SpaghettiOs with Meatballs, SpaghettiOs A to Z with Meatballs and SpaghettiOs Fun Shapes with Meatballs. The bottom of their cans are marked with "EST 4K" and expiration dates of between June 2010 and December 2011.
It's still unclear when the cooker began to malfunction, so Campbell is recalling products that have been out since Dec. 2008, to err on the safe side. The company estimates that about 35,000 cases of the SpaghettiOs on recall are currently on the market.Campbell adds that much of this has probably already been eaten.

According to the Anoka County Sheriff's Office, Jesse William Asher was arrested on Tuesday after investigators were tipped to three reports of solicitation.
Investigators said they believe Asher was seen driving around Columbia Heights during school hours, and approaching young teenagers.
He has been charged with three counts of solicitation of a child, and an additional count of stalking a victim under 18 years old.

Weaver rail mount
A Weaver rail mount is a system to connect telescopic sights and other accessories to rifles, shotguns, pistols, archery bows, etc. It uses a pair of parallel rails and several slots perpendicular to these rails.
The later Picatinny rail developed by the US military is a development of the key concepts of the Weaver system, and they are partly compatible.
The Weaver mount was developed by William Ralph Weaver (1905 – 8 November 1975) at his telescopic sight company W.R. Weaver Co. which he founded in 1930.[1] The "Weaver rail" was the first standardized scope mount for rifles. Previously, scopes were attached with set screws tapped directly onto the rifle. By contrast the connection between a Weaver scope and the rail was via 3.8mm cross-key slots that matched the keyed base of all Weaver rings.
W.R. Weaver Co. became Weaver Optics, and was a subsidiary of Meade Instruments Corporation from 2002 to 2008, when it was on-sold to become part of Alliant Techsystems's Security and Sporting division in Onalaska, WI.
Older Weaver systems used two pieces mounted a distance apart from one another typically on the receiver of a rifle over the bolt opening where the cartridge would be inserted and/or ejected. However, alignment problems of the two piece system can put undue stress on a rifle scope and cause problems between the scope and rifle barrel parallels and bullet Point Of Impact (POI). Also the two piece system must be mounted to exacting tolerances to one another to ensure perfect alignment using a scope alignment device called Alignment Sleeves. The two piece type can also be problematic when some rifles will not allow for the two pieces to be mounted due to metal thickness of the receiver or other issues of receiver length that will not allow for proper distance to hold the scope. With the later one piece approach, the rail system remains consistent in alignment.
The slots on a Weaver system are primarily used as a clearance of the locking screw that tightens the clamp to the rail. Some Weaver-type accessories have a bar that fits inside the machined slots on the rails while many others do not.
Weaver rails have a slot width of 0.180 in (4.57 mm), but are not necessarily consistent in the spacing of slot centers.
The lack of a locking bar on many Weaver-type accessories also lends to another alignment issue: Canting. Though this problem is not common it can be very problematic especially with scopes. Because scopes need to be mounted to a rifle in perfect parallel to the barrel and to ensure the cross hairs sit exactly where a bullet will go (POI), a small variation of even ¼ of one degree can cause massive problems at longer ranges. The locking bar holds the mount in a perfect 90 degree to the rail system where as a non-locking bar system can cant to the left or right. This canting (sometimes called jamming of surfaces) is caused by not matching the clamping surface perfectly to the rail. When tightened down, stress exerted on the base can cause the scope to be off from the POI by as much as several feet at 100–200 yards and gets progressively worse the further out the range goes. Lower grade materials used in manufacturing of scope bases, inconsistent design tolerances from one manufacturer to another and other factors can cause twisting stress and cause the mount to move out of parallel with the rifle barrel. The locking bar system allows for even stress to be distributed and prevent canting of the scope mount.
Another form of scope canting is caused by the rings themselves. Many Weaver-type mounts (including many Picatinny-type scope rings) and even the Redfield Type either have two or four screws on top of the scope ring that hold the scope in place. Both the Weaver and Picatinny clamp systems have a screw side and a clamp side. With the two-screw style, the ring usually aligns well but does not have the strength of the four screw system. Many times, when tightening the screws of the four screw type, the scope can twist in place, causing misalignment. Tightening the mounts in an "X" pattern and usually starting opposite of the outside clamp side; holding the scope slightly to the opposite side while tightening the screws usually allows for proper alignment of the scope to barrel parallel.
Compatibility with Picatinny[edit]
Military standard, MIL-STD-1913 "Picatinny rails" date from the mid 1990s and have very strict dimension and tolerance standards. The Picatinny has rail of very similar profile to the Weaver, but the slot width is 0.206 in (5.23 mm), and by contrast with the Weaver, the spacing of slot centers is consistent, at 0.394 in (10.01 mm). Many rail-grabber-mounted accessories can be used on either type of rail, and generally accessories designed for a Weaver system will generally fit Picatinny rails - although not vice versa. The Picatinny locking slot width is 0.206 in (5.232 mm) and the spacing of slot centers is 0.394 in (10.008 mm).[2] Because of this, with devices that use only one locking slot, Weaver devices will fit on Picatinny rails, but Picatinny devices will not always fit on Weaver rails.[2]
The other difference is that Weaver rails are continuous, while Picatinny rails are cut by the slots (like a dotted line) to neutralize expansion caused by barrel heating.

With the development of deregulated power systems and increase of prices in some hours of day, demand side management programs were noticed more by customers. In restructured power systems, DSM programs are introduced as DEMAND RESPONSE. In this paper we try to evaluate the effect of DR programs on power system reliability and nodal reliability. In order to reach to this target, Direct Load Control program, as the most common demand response program, is considered.

There was a hearing to determine permanent disability today. She did not have to attend as her pain levels have been high.
Good news: The judge ruled that my wife is permanently disabled. A percentage will be determined at another hearing she must attend in December. Based on all the medical evidence, her attorney is pushing for 85%l.
Bad news: She must try and find a job she can do with all her restrictions. No one will hire her, but the WC laws state that if she is not 100% disabled she must do this. She could also do some job training. The attorney is sending her all the information and we will see what she will do. She must provide evidence she is looking and being rejected for jobs. Seems absurd, but it is the law.
Still more hoops, but it may eventually be over.View Thread
I have been hurting so much last few days. I know I have bad facet joints but this is ridiculous. I can hardly eat let alone sit, lay down or even walk. I haven't done anything out of the norm to cause such a flare-up but main this is bad.
It's been 4 days now and it's gotten worst. I called my surgeons office and they set me up with a doctor for facet joint injections - can't do steroids so these will be a pain med with a numbing agent and the appt is 10/2. My surgeon wanted me to have this done under a fluoroscopic x-ray which my pain doc's office does not have this. They have done injections in the past - pain shots/numbing agent in the facet joint area but since it wasn't done under fluoroscopic x-ray so not sure they were getting it in right area.
I've been using heating pad at nite and applying aspercream during day. I can't use any ointments that have menthol in it as it burns my skin real bad.
Well, as the ole questions go, if anyone has home remedies that have worked please let me know.
Take care ~~ praying for low pains for everyone ~~ JoyView Thread

tl;dr: spot on x-ray in back, very curious!View Thread
My Dr was focused more on my neck than the lower back as I had a plate and hardware in my neck and herniated 2 more discs in my neck from the fall around the fusion.
It's been 7 months now and the other night I got up and lost control of my left leg. I have been in pain ever since.
After 3 months my recommended surgery was denied and I just went to my hearing and got approved for everything except surgery until I see her requested impartial Dr.
Well, it seems that will take up to 2 month for the appointment and then another 2 months for the Dr. report.
Meantime, what do I do about my left side. I am hurting from my hip all the way down to my foot. I have been resting and alternating ice and heat.
Every time I see the Dr. I tell him about my lower back but the w/c gave him such a hassle with my neck, he just wanted to focus on that first and then address my lower back.
I finally had my regular GP send me for an MRI of my lower back. I had previous treatment for lower back problems and had radio frequency ablation so he sent me for that. I just had it 3 weeks ago an now this. What now? I am not sure who to call or what to do.
The pain center where I have the radio frequency did the treatment but said they where not sure if it would help my new symptoms in my left leg. I guess I will start there. It just seems crazy after 7 months. I did still have what felt like a deep knot in my left buttocks and calf. Hands and feet go numb if I walk around for 10 or more minutes. I feel like I'm not being taken very seriously.
My work just wants me back (there Dr. says I can work light duty). I can't and wont. I feel like I have 2 serious injuries from this fall and feel hopeless.
Any suggestions? Anyone know why my leg gave out after 7 months?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions or ideas,

There is a fluid leaking in his abdominal cavity , surgeon says that they don't know were it is coming from and claims that it is serrouss fluid of some type and also says that pathology doesn't even know what it is. My father has been experiencing much pain and discomfort. Kaisers surgeon went back in to drain it .It filled back up so now they have a drain put in his side. The bag is filling up every 15-20 min. My brother has some medical background and stated that it looked like spinal fluid
so that's when I looked on the internet and came across all these posts. I would like to know if this is life threatening and also is this a normal occurrence from back surgery. The procedure was supposed to be 3-4 hrs and lasted almost 7 hrs. If anyone could give me more information I would appreciate it. thankyouView Thread

The Power Of Proclaiming Your Frugality
"I don't do credit cards anymore" is my new sales clerk thing now. I hate being asked to sign up for things almost as much as they hate asking.
Proclaiming my frugality sort of humanizes me in those situations, too. I'm no longer a quota to be met; I'm a person on a budget, just like them. I've shared quite a few brief but pleasant conversations on frugality with salespeople since. And it's just because I'm open about my aversion to overspending.
I tried this trick recently, when shopping for a birthday gift. I bought a watch for my boyfriend, and as I was checking out, I noticed a really beautiful women's watch. The saleslady noticed me notice it and kept trying to sway me to buy it until I finally said, "No, I'm saving up my money, and I just can't afford this right now." She stopped hawking the watch and gave me a five-minute pat on the back about being young and financially independent. It made me feel good about my habits and better about not buying that watch.
There is power in proclaiming your frugality.Are you sometimes reluctant about being honest when it comes to your budget? If so, why? And what benefits have you found in proclaiming your frugality?

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

More prosaically, the Charter also called for health insurance, retirement pensions and the establishment of fair wages. All in all, the CNL made the short-lived Provisional Government under Charles de Gaulle an offer it could not refuse: the experience of occupation and liberation had been necessary to bring forth a society that would insure all of its citizens against illness and support them in old age. These are the very same droits acquis, or legal rights, which the European Union's austerity measures now appear to threaten not just in France, but most of Europe.
In 2004, Hessel, joined in an open letter with a dozen other elderly dignitaries of the Resistance. They urged France's youth to maintain the Charter's spirit, called for a "peaceful insurrection" against a world of "mass consumption" and "brutal competition that pits all against all," and warned against "the international dictatorship of financial markets." As these astonishing men and women passed away one by one, they left Hessel standing alone. In the time left to him he wrote Indignez-vous-- a reiteration, in effect, of the Charter.
"How lucky I am," he declared, "to be able to draw on the foundation of my political life: the Resistance and the National Council of the Resistance's program."
Hessel affirmed that if we "are to be the true heirs of the Charter," we would oppose the neo-liberal policies that are undermining the welfare state and the nationalist passions aimed at immigrants. Just as indignation heaved the Resistance into being, so too must indignation drive today's youth to resist these bleak trends.
Since the pamphlet's release in late 2010, it has sold well over two million copies in France. Beyond France, more than a million copies of the work, translated into nearly three-dozen languages, have been sold, transforming Hessel into a global celebrity. But will Hessel's legacy help shape the turmoil that is now seizing European politics?
It is not at all clear. Claimed as their spiritual mentor by the indignés of France, indignados of Spain, indigneti of Italy, the indies of our own Occupy movement in the US, Hessel nevertheless recognized the problem of building upon sheer indignation. Indeed, the waning (and occasional turn to violence) of the Occupy movements here and abroad suggests the problem is even greater than Hessel wished to believe. More ominously, there is the startling surge of populist movements riding the growing swells of popular outrage across the continent. There are, to be sure, important differences in the agendas and leadership of Syriza (not to mention the neo-fascist New Dawn) in Greece, the Five Star Movement in Italy, and the Front de gauche (and, yes, the extreme right wing National Front) in France, but they all share two qualities that would have appalled Hessel.
First, all of these are at heart nationalist movements that at best are wary of, and at worst deeply hostile to "Europe." Their collective reflex is to turn away from transnational institutions, which they decry for blurring national identities and frontiers; and many of them, even those on the left, embrace a politics tinged with xenophobia. (For example, Grillo's Five Star Movement wants to deny citizenship to the children of immigrants born in Italy.)
Second, nearly all the leaders of these movements are singularly incapable of dialogue. Far from dancing with their century, they instead seem determined to lash it to their narrow agendas. As France and the world prepare to honor Hessel's memory --he will be buried at Montparnasse Cemetery in Paris--he would want us to recall his belief that resistance must always be an act of creation. We will see if this moral axiom has much of a future in Europe.

Easter and Heaven
The author of this entry is responsible for this content, which is not edited by the Wilson County News or wilsoncountynews.com.

By Dr. Gary Scott Smith
As Christians around the world celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ this Easter, heaven is naturally on the minds of many. Recent polls indicate that between 75 and 90 percent of Americans believe that heaven exists, percentages that far exceed the belief by residents of other Western nations.
As the author of "Heaven in the American Imagination," I have recently been interviewed for both a television special and a "Time" magazine article on heaven. The widespread belief among Christians that we, like Jesus, will live after our death, has led many to ask what heaven is like. Throughout history Americans have offered many different answers to this question.
Although their interpretation of biblical passages has guided most Christians in describing heaven, their cultural settings, dreams, and hopes have also shaped their portraits as expressed in music, art, and literature.
Throughout American history, theologians and pastors have typically depicted heaven as an actual place of dazzling beauty, unending delight, and greatly expanded knowledge. Americans have largely agreed that heaven is a spectacular and delightful home for people who are aware of their own identities and life histories, enjoy rich fellowship with others, enthusiastically worship God, do meaningful work, and experience fantastic joy.
However, deeply influenced by their own life experiences and differing political, social, and economic circumstances, American Christians have provided conflicting portraits of heavenly life. From the Puritans in the 1600s to the Second Great Awakening of the antebellum years, most Christians depicted a God-centered heaven that focused on worshiping and serving the Trinity. Since the Civil War, many portraits of heaven have focused on service, education, and personal growth as these concepts became more important in American society.
During the last decade, several major cultural trends--especially increased anxiety, the prominence of our entertainment culture, the impact of the therapeutic worldview, and concerns about the breakdown of the family and the impoverishment of personal relationships--have shaped American views of heaven.
This has led Christians to offer competing pictures of heaven as a place of comfort, enriching entertainment, self-actualization, robust relationships, and bliss. Heaven has been depicted as a haven from the world's ills, a magnificent home, a posh vacation resort, a perpetual playground, a therapeutic center, and a place of incredible happiness. Some conceptions of paradise provide a soothing antidote to the anxiety-arousing and disconcerting events that lead many newscasts and newspaper headlines. Heaven promises a pleasant respite from the world's perils, tragedy, and despair.
America's focus on entertainment, and fear that heaven may be boring, has prompted depictions of paradise as the ultimate recreation center. Anthony DeStefano's best-selling "A Travel Guide to Heaven" portrays the celestial realm as "Disney World, Hawaii, Paris, Rome, and New York all rolled into one." "Heaven is a pleasure palace, a fairyland ... and a never-ending vacation.... It's the ultimate adventure for travelers of all ages."
For others, the afterlife is principally about introspection and self-actualization. It is the place where individuals listen to their inner child, repair their self-esteem, and finally attain closure. In phenomenally popular books, "The Five People You Meet in Heaven" and "The Lovely Bones," Mitch Albom and Alice Sebold respectively explain that heaven exists to help people make sense of their earthly lives.
Influenced by a culture that promotes and prizes personal happiness, still others make happiness a key feature of heavenly life. "God will supply us with everything we'll ever need" to be happy in heaven, declared Billy Graham. Another evangelical predicts that the saints will have "the athleticism of Michael Jordan, the mind of Albert Einstein, and the creativity of Charles Dickens." Finally, for many, heaven is primarily a place of reunion with family members and friends, characterized by love, intimacy, and comfort.
Americans' great interest in heaven is evident today in book sales, television and movie themes, art, and music. Books based on the near-death experiences have been especially popular and influential in shaping American conceptions of the afterlife. More than a year after its publication, "Heaven Is for Real: A Little Boy's Astounding Story of His Trip to Heaven and Back" is still number one on The New York Times Best Seller List for nonfiction.
As Christians celebrate Easter this year, they rejoice that Christ's resurrection promises that those who trust in him as their Savior will someday join him in paradise. Until that occurs, Christians will continue to debate the features and wonders of heaven.

Common Ground
Welcome to the new Madison Magazine
Kaleem Caire and I are both about to be forty. We both called Virginia home for a time and then went on to earn degrees from UW–Madison. Years later we each have kids and, like most parents, we worry about their future. As I chatted on the phone with Kaleem about his candid interview with Phil Busse I was moved by some of these shared life experiences. Because even today social and cultural norms would paint our lives onto separate canvases. He's a black man, and I'm a white woman. His parents were unable to raise him, so he went to live with his aunt. My parents brought me up, and then sent me off to college with tuition paid for and peanut butter in the mini-fridge. The military was Kaleem's meal ticket to a bachelor of science in urban education.
Despite a rocky start, Kaleem is now a bona fide leader and he's back in Madison to see to it that all our kids—his, mine and everybody else's—get the education and career opportunities they deserve. It's a remarkable story so far, and as Kaleem heads over the proverbial hill, I have a feeling his story is just revving up.
House Keeping
Here at Mad Mag, we've remodeled the house, and we hope you like the result. To be honest, if you haven't yet noticed the redesigned magazine in your hands, that's perfectly fine, too. The content is still the same meaty mixture of lifestyle and business journalism you subscribe to every month; what's different is the packaging.
Cover to cover, we've nipped and tucked the style, design and vernacular in keeping with the times to make your reading experience that much more enjoyable. Your city magazine should reflect the tastes and desires of the Madison region and its inhabitants—a diverse and fascinating mix of people, places and ideas that informs and entertains, affects positive change in the community and provides an effective vehicle for our advertisers, who know that your discriminating eyeballs on their unique products help the local marketplace thrive.
Because the economy, jobs and quality of life are of utmost importance in a city and a state recovering from recession, we've moved our business coverage up front and now offer two distinct voices on the machinations of Madison business. Rebecca Ryan will continue to cover the entrepreneurial spirit, particularly as it relates to the next generation of thinkers, doers, investors and game changers. Derrell Connor, whom some of you may know from his talk show "Outreach" on NewsTalk 1310 WIBA or his column "Last I Checked" on Channel3000.com, will bring fresh eyes and a new perspective on people you should know.
Food and drink coverage, especially chefs, restaurants and the dining out experience, is one of our most popular topics, so we'll continue to eat, drink and tell you all about it with a new feature called "Sip and Savor" (p.70). And we've added an entertaining crossword puzzle, so sharpen your pencil and put your local trivia skills to the test on p.85.
While editors captain magazine redesign efforts, they rely heavily on team talent. Publisher Jen Winiger's fifteen years of city-regional magazine experience came in handy, particularly in the "what-not-to-do" department. But also she gave us a lot of wiggle room to explore our own ideas about the form and function of a glossy monthly, and rarely vetoed the results. Tim Burton has been art directing Madison Magazine since 2001. While this marks his first redesign, it reflects the kind of creativity and innovation we've enjoyed in his work all along.
At the start of this project, Tim suggested to the editors that we take a recent issue, rip it apart and then reflect, reorganize and recommend. That exercised produced equal parts satisfaction and restlessness. So what you hold in your hands is a combination of the classics (including the timeless "Madison" logo on the cover) and the modern. We wanted the result to feel subtle, seamless and worthy of your armchair exploration of all that the city has to offer.
Brennan Nardi is editor of Madison Magazine. Comments and letters can be sent to 7025 Raymond Rd., Madison, WI 53719, or email@example.com. Letters we publish may be edited for space and clarity.

Not do be a downer, but we've had severe reliability problems with some LeapFrog products in the past; random lockups, audio glitches, incorrect page repeatedly selected, etc. Many sessions ended up in tears, even after repeatedly cleaning the cartridges, and sending one unit in for service. Both units were unceremoniously thrown away, rather than inflict pain on some unsuspecting thrifter's child.

When they did work, they were wonderful learning toys, and I hope they've fixed the glitches we experienced.
