Mafia II is a third-person action-adventure video game, the sequel to Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven. It is developed by 2K Czech, previously known as Illusion Softworks, and is published by 2K Games. The game is set from 1943 to 1951 in Empire Bay (the name is a reference to New York's state nickname "The Empire State"), a fictional city based on San Francisco and New York City, with influences from Chicago and Detroit. The game features a completely open-ended game map of 10 square miles. No restrictions are included from the start of the game. There are around 50 vehicles in the game, as well as licensed music from the era.
Mafia II sees numbers that are very similar to the GTX 580 here, but you can see against the HD 7870, the AMD offering manages to come out ahead at 2560 x 1600 with a bit more breathing room.

CONSTRUCTION work on the fourth and final stage of the Portland Wind Energy Project will begin in a matter of weeks, after Pacific Hydro successfully secured finance for the project.
The final stage will see the construction of 23 turbines split between two sites at Cape Nelson North and Cape Sir William Grant — sites that are renowned for strong and consistent winds.
A delighted Andrew Richards, Pacific Hydro's executive manager of external affairs, announced yesterday that it was all systems go for the $110 million fourth stage, which completes the $400 million project
"All the money is now secured and REpower is in the process of finalising contractors," Mr Richards said.

The White Stripes – White Blood Cells
In the mood for some good old fashioned new wave garage rock revivalism? White Blood Cells, the third album from the duo the White Stripes is the perfect summer soundtrack for tearing up suburbia in a rusty tank car in the blistering sun. With Meg White on drums and Jack White on lead vocals, and guitar, their raw, tinny sans a bass sound and quirky lyrics recall their great predecessors the Kinks and Led Zeppelin. The White Stripes breathe a refreshing breath into the alt-rock scene by dropping the "alt."
From the infections, poppy "Fell in Love with a Girl," to the borderline country "Hotel Yorba," to the hard edged track "Expecting," the album kicks off punchy and grabs you. Once they've got you by the extremities, the White Stripes chill out with the tooth-achingly sweet "We're Going to be Friends" and the mellow yet rockin' "I Can Learn." The diversity inherent in the tracks keeps White Blood Cells interesting enough to keep on repeat at a mid-summer, late night porch gathering.
Remember when it was about the music? Someone was bound to bring it back eventually, and the White Stripes do it, rock star style. Rock? I'll take two.

Is there anyone out there with knowledge of molding styles and proportions? Will these two selections work well together size and style?
I've got 2 1/4 inch colonial window and door casing installed like this and am putting in wider baseboards. I've always liked the baseboard below which is 5 1/4 inches. It will have 3/4" shoe molding. Ceilings are 8 feet. Does anyone have this combination? Do you have any pictures? |

2 1/4" casing goes with 3 1/4" baseboard. Scale them both up together. Casey |
For professionals there is a "right" way and a "wrong" way but homeowners do have the freedom to do things differently (I'm the latter). In this case I actually didn't know there was a rule about what goes with what; I do it by eye and by preference (and sometimes by what I've got in the basement :-)). Our original house casings are 4 3/4" with baseboards that are 7 1/2" in case that is of any help for choosing proportional relationships. Also, in most settings I would find 3 1/4" baseboard to look skimpy no matter what casing it was paired with! Karin L |
I think the 2-1/4 does look a bit skimpy at least from what we're accustomed to seeing in the States. But there are pictures of beautiful rooms out there that do show thin casing and high baseboards. I still think the 2-1/2" looks more balanced but have all this 2-1/4 already in place on the lower level. I've been thinking of doing the upstairs in 2-1/2 (those doors are not done yet). Then for the downstairs, widen the door casings but leave the windows as they are at 2-1/4. There's a header and sill on those, so changing to 2-1/2 would be tight. One window is tall and narrow, the casing has always looked a bit thin. The other looks fine to me. There are a few non-prominent doors that would be tight with the 2-1/2 and probably look bulky. I thought I'd keep or do them in the 2-1/4. My bedroom closet is only 24 inches so wouldn't 2-1/4 look better? I have read more prominent doorways can be done wider for emphasis. The other thing is that the 2-1/4 has a beaded edge. The 2-1/2 has what I believe is the ogee edge. Do you think that makes a difference? They seem to read about the same just one a bit wider. So it would basically be 2-1/4 windows, beaded edge. 2-1/2 for prominent doors, ogee edge. Some other doors in the 2-1/4 beaded. Do houses sometimes mix their moldings if needed? Such as for a smaller door? |
- Posted by millworkman (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Mon, Nov 7, 11 at 9:00
Personally I prefer the 2 1/2" over the 2 1/4" Colonial Casing as the 2 1/2" looks better in proportion on doors. That being said there are no hard and fast rules on baseboard size. No reason you cannot use that 5 1/4" Neck or Band base with 2 1/4" Casing. It is normally seen however with the 3 1/2" Colonial Casing or even the 4 1/4" width casing. |
Thanks to all for the input. I agree that 1/4 inch somehow makes a difference. The lines on that size are also a little more spread out and refined looking. Wish I had known. I'm going to switch to that upstairs and swap out the more prominent doors downstairs since there are only three. Guessed the 3 1/2 might be for this board but it would be too large in my house. In some areas there wouldn't even be enough room for them. There are also some door groupings that would get overwhelmed. It is around the front door for emphasis and looks too large for some reason. Maybe the wide baseboard will change that perception. Now I'm wondering if that baseboard I'm looking at is formal? Could this work in any setting? I like the curves and its softness. |

[1] The most common symptoms are dizziness and vertigo, but symptoms may also include headache accompanied by ataxia, tinnitus, decreased hearing, nausea and vomiting, dysarthria, diplopia (blurred or double vision), loss of balance, bilateral paresthesias or paresis, altered consciousness, syncope, and, sometimes loss of consciousness.[2] Migraines, in general, are complex genetic disorders involving environmental factors. The nerves are believed to play a role in the cause of basilar migraines.[1] A familial form has been linked to mutations in the ATP1A2 gene.[3] While basilar migraines are more common in adolescent girls and young women, they occur in all age groups.[1][2] Treatment may involve the combination of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications with and an antiemetic phenothiazine. More recently, triptans, once contraindicated due to their propensity to constrict blood vessels, have been found to relieve these headaches without adverse effects.[1]
Basilar migraine is a type of migraine headache with aura accompanied by neurological symptoms which begin either in the base of the brain (the brainstem) or from both sides of the brain (both cerebral hemispheres) at the same time.

Test System Setup
Processor(s): AMD Athlon X2 3800+
Motherboard(s): ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe - 16x PCI-E lanes (Supplied by ASUS)
Memory: 2 X 1GB Corsair PC3500LL PRO DDR (Supplied by Corsair)
Hard Disk(s): WD Raptor 74GB 10,000RPM SATA (Supplied by Western Digital)
Operating System: Windows XP Professional SP1
Drivers: ATI Catalyst 5.11, nVidia Forceware 81.94 and DX9c
The test system has gone through a slight overhaul this week with the ASUS SLI Premium going out and the new and impressive ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe coming in to take its place. We have also moved from our 2 x 512MB Mushkin modules to the new Corsair PC3500LL PRO (2 x 1GB) that is specifically suited for the A8N32 motherboard from ASUS. We will be looking further into this combination at a later date. With the new motherboard setup we have an increased CPU overclock to 2.45GHz from the 2.35GHz we have been running.
Quickly before we move on, we have used the latest version of ATI Tool from our friend W1zzard @ TechPowerUp, the creator of ATI Tool. This does give us the ability to overclock the core of the X1800XL but unfortunately not the memory as yet. So we will be doing some overclocking just not as much as we had hoped.
The X1800XL in the US is similarly priced to the GeForce 7800GT we are going to be comparing it against. In Australia the X1800XL sits a little bit higher and Gigabyte have set a very nice $699 AUD RRP for the card which makes it an excellent price for a card from such a reputable manufacturer. It's also important to keep in mind we're comparing the Gigabyte X1800XL against the BFG 7800GT which comes with higher clock speeds than regular 7800GT cards.
The other thing we must mention is that we have used the latest official drivers for both cards - the Catalyst 5.11 and the ForceWare 81.94. The latest ForceWare drivers are able to make use out of the X2 processor so it does sit in a better position before we enter into the benchmarks. We should hopefully see a similar technology implementation in the next release of Catalyst drivers but if not there is no doubt that it will be early next year in the new 6 series.
Version and / or Patch Used: Build 360

Product Homepage: http://www.futuremark.com/products/3dmark03/
By combining full DX8 and partial DX9 support with completely new tests and graphics over the previous version, 3DMark03 continues the legacy of being the industry standard 3D benchmark.
Please Note: Due to recent events with the 3DMark03 series, we are adding results purely for those who are still in favor of 3DMark03. These results should not be taken too seriously and are only added for interest sakes.
3DMark03 performance at the lower resolution shows that the 7800GT is a fair bit faster though when moving to the higher resolution which is what people with these cards will play at we can see that performance is closer.

Interface Customization
The web interface of Telemeta can be customized to your needs by extending the default templates. It is possible to change the logo, CSS, and even make a completely different layout. The templates are written using the Django template language, which is pretty simple to learn.
Templates set-up
The Telemeta default templates reside in <path_to_telemeta>/templates/telemeta. You should take a look at them to understand how things work.
Before trying to add your custom templates you should ensure that the TEMPLATE_DIRS configuration variable, in your Django project's settings.py, contains the path to where your templates files will reside. For convenience I'll call this directory <my_project>/templates. And within that directory you must create a subdirectory named telemeta where you will put your custom telemeta templates.
Template Inheritance
The Django templating engine, which Telemeta relies on, allows for a high level of customization, through the use of so-called template inheritance.
This feature allows to change specific parts of the default templates. In order to extend a given template simply put a file with the same name as the default template in <my_project>/templates/telemeta. Then you can start customizing specific blocks of the template, or copy/rewrite the whole template if you feel like it.
Customizing the logo
Changing the logo, certainly a very common task, is also a good example of how template inheritance works.
In Telemeta all HTML templates extends telemeta/base_site.html which in turn extends telemeta/base.html. By overloading the former we can thus customize all of the web pages.
The logo is contained within the logo block, as you can see in base.html.
So in order to change the logo to '/path/to/mylogo.png' we simply need to create <my_project>/templates/telemeta/base_site.html with 4 lines:
{% extends "telemeta/base.html" %} {% block logo %}  {% endblock %}
Adding some CSS
You can easily add a custom stylesheet by extending the stylesheets block. However, unless you know what you are doing, you should ensure that you're not wiping the default stylesheets out. This can be achieved using Django's block.super variable.
{% extends "telemeta/base.html" %} {% block stylesheets %} {{ block.super }} <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/path/to/my_style.css" /> {% endblock %}

About Us
The Cambrian Caving Council is the National Association for caving in the Principality, it is comprised of caving clubs or similar organisations therein or organisations with major speleological interests or establishments therein. It represents their interests in Wales, The Marches and the Forest of Dean on a regional basis within the UK context, whilst maintaining its position as an independent autonomous body within the Principality. Several of the clubs have club huts in South Wales.
It is a Constituent Body member of the British Caving Association of Great Britain, and is represented on its Committees, viz: Executive, Conservation & Access, Equipment, Training, Structure (and Legal & Insurance).
The Council was formed in January 1969, its first members being 21 caving clubs with major interests or confirmed establishments in the region, i.e. having caving club huts herein. Any outdoor activity club with interests in caves or mines in the region may apply to join.
The Council itself does not control access to any cave, though it does have a representative on the OFD Management Committee, the Pwlldu Cave Management Committee (re Ogof Draenen), the Dan-yr-Ogof Advisory Committee and an observer at the Mynydd Llangatwg Cave Management/Advisory Committee.
It is a member of the Countryside Council for Wales Access Forum, the Wales Wildlife & Countryside LINK, the Swansea Environment Centre, the Welsh Sports Association, the W.S.A. Outdoor Pursuits Group, the Brecon Beacons National Park Access & Recreation Advisory Group, the Gwenlais Valley Consortium (Carmel Woods), the Pembrokeshire Outdoor Charter, the Gower Cave Advisory Group and the Welsh Exploration Society.
It maintains close contact with national and regional bodies, such as, the Countryside Council for Wales, English Nature, Welsh Water plc, Forestry Commission, Forestry Enterprise, county bat groups, and the Sports Council for Wales, as well as with the other Regional Caving Councils.
Its aims and objects are as follows:-
· To encourage the exchange of information between clubs and other regional and national bodies.
· To safeguard the interests of caving clubs
· To maintain friendly relationships with, and foster the spirit of co-operation between similar and associated bodies, with a view to promoting and achieving objects of mutual interest.
· To encourage the recording of information on sites of speleological interest in Wales and The Marches, in the Cambrian Cave Registry or a similar body.
· To encourage conservation.
· To establish and maintain good relationships with non- caving bodies.
There are three Guiding Principles involved with these, namely:-
· There shall be respect for the autonomy and independence of action of Member Clubs, provided that these are not against the Council's Aims and Objects.
· That the owners and tenants of property containing caves, have the right to grant or withhold access. Where caving clubs, singly or jointly, have control of access delegated to them by the owners, such access should be obtained and granted as freely as possible for responsible cavers, within the terms of those agreements. When obliged to make new agreements, the appropriate body/group should endeavor to ensure that this freedom is maintained or improved.
· That the Council supports the policy of the Sports Council for Wales in the control of drug abuse as laid down in its advice to Governing Bodies of Sport.
There are representatives on:-
Welsh Sports Association
W.S.A. Outdoor Pursuits Group
OFD Management Committee
Pwlldu Cave Management Committee
Brecon Beacons National Park Access & Recreation Advisory Group
Countryside Council for Wales Wales Access Forum
Wales Wildlife & Countryside LINK
Gwenlais Valley Consortium (Carmel Woods)
Pembrokeshire Outdoor Activity Centres Charter

CHANDIGARH: As his fighter aircraft flew past the scudding clouds, Chandigarh-based wing commander Randhir Singh found some unusual movement near the Twang area on the Sino-India border. He was amazed and rattled at what he saw. Chinese troops were fast sneaking into the Indian territory. As the weather was inclement, the view was not clear. Randhir downed his aircraft a bit and took pictures of the Chinese incursion.
This was exactly 50 years ago. Randhir, the commanding officer of Indian Air Force's (IAF) lone Strategically Reconnaissance Squadron, was the first among those who sighted the Chinese infiltration on the north eastern front during one of their routine sorties along the border. He went back and alerted the top brass about the hostilities. As was the norm, the squadron reported the matter only to the Chief of Air Staff (COAS), Air Officer Commanding in Chief (AOC-in-C) and to the Secretary cabinet secretariat at that time.
"We were using B-57 Canberra - twin jet engine tactical bomber and reconnaissance aircraft - at that time but could not click the photographs because the weather was extremely cloudy and the aircraft was not technically sound to capture the area in that condition. "Then, I had to get down the clouds to get the visuals of Chinese movement," said Randhir, who went on to become Air Marshal.
He recounted that he spotted the Chinese troops marching inside the Indian zone taking undefined routes, where Indian troops had no accessibility.
Similar reconnaissance was held by Randhir-led squadron in Ladakh area and pictures taken by their aircraft were shown to the then prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru to apprise him of the situation on both the battle fronts.
Randhir, now in his late nineties, recollected that not using the Air Force at that time was a blunder because whatever was its readiness then, use of fighter aircraft would have changed the war scenario.
"Our forward defence policy formulated by the then top brass did not take into view the ground realities of the area and the Chinese exploited our weakness. Our troops fighting on ground in that terrain were cut off completely. China did not have any airbase in the area and use of aircraft by IAF could have been quite effective," he added.
Today, Randhir is one of the highly decorated officers of IAF settled in Chandigarh. Commissioned in the Air Force in 1942 as a young pilot, he witnessed 1962, 1965 and 1971 wars and was conferred the Vir Chakra for his gallantry. Randhir had also carried air operations for reconnaissance of Kabayali movement in Kashmir in 1948.

Three men were arrested on the N24 at Cahir on Thursday night, during a major police operation involving elite Garda officers.
Three hand-held rocket launchers - capable of blowing apart armoured personnel carriers and tanks - were taken away for further examinations. Two cars were also seized.
It is believed the swoop followed a surveillance operation targeting dissidents.
The trio, who are aged in their 30s and are from Co Limerick, were being questioned at Clonmel and Cahir garda stations on suspicion of dissident republican activity, under section 30 of the Offences against the State Act 1939.
It is believed that two of the detained men were brothers.
The charged pair were due to appear at the Special Criminal Court on Saturday night.
The third man was released without charge on Saturday. A file will be prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions.

Lake County scraps Government Center escalators
By Carrie Napoleon Post-Tribune correspondent March 21, 2013 6:20PM
Updated: April 23, 2013 2:21PM
CROWN POINT — The aging escalators at the Lake County Government Center were shut off for good Wednesday as work begins in earnest to replace them with stairs and elevators.
"We've done this for two reasons — energy efficiency and safety," said Lake County Commissioner Gerry Scheub, D-Crown Point. It will take about three months for the new stairwell and elevator to be completed.
Along with costing a great deal to operate, he said, the escalators were plagued with breakdowns and prone to stopping without warning, creating a liability issue for the cash-strapped county.
All Government Center offices will remain open during construction. Most work will be done at night to minimize disruption. Signs will direct visitors to alternate stairways and elevators. Some meetings, including the Board of Commissioners, will be relocated to the auditorium during construction. The Board of Elections will meet in the cafeteria. Officials advise checking with individual boards prior to their meetings for exact locations.
The work is Phase III of a multiyear energy efficiency project that began in 2006.
Jeff Metcalf, regional director Ameresco Inc., the energy services company awarded the work, said previously the $10.6 million Phase III is expected to save $1.7 million a year in operational costs.

"Is a Housing Shortage Coming?
A CNNMoney.com article states, "As the nation struggles to shrug off the worst housing crash since the Great Depression, it may be hard to believe a housing shortage could be on its way." Their reason? Our country is simply not building enough new homes to keep up with potential demand. The number of new homes started in April, when annualized, is less than half the long-term run rate needed to meet the nation's population growth. Our local market still has a large amount of inventory for sale (buyer's market); however, significant statistical improvements have occurred in recent months. If this trend continues, we would first see a stabilization of housing prices, followed by a potential housing shortage (seller's market). One thing that all economists point to as a necessary factor in the housing market recovery -- job creation." |
Follow-Up Postings:
The construction/home building industry is the EASIEST part of the DJIA to restart. Add the new construction numbers to the huge 'shadow inventory' being held by financial institutions, and there is still a more than generous supply of housing available for future purchase. I know a lot of people who would be willing to put their houses up for sale if they thought they could find buyers who could actually qualify for mortgages. |
Yep. I see it that way too. Also, I do believe if we have any sense we'll keep the cap on extending iffy credit and then you gotta get people actually back to work. Regardless of the numbers we are hearing, I know our county is at 17% unemployment right now, and that's not including the people who just gave up looking for work. They're not counted in the unemployment figures. |
The "under employed" are not counted either...meaning those who at one time earned a good living who are now forced to work two and three low wage jobs. I think that CNN article may have been based on the opinion of the National Home Builders Association ...because we are never building enough new homes to suit those who only make money from new construction. |
calliope, Where do you get your 17% unemployment figure? |
The county announced it....and the media passed it along. I live in Appalachia. |
In a market economy, there really is never a shortage of homes as in "People can't find a home to live in." If lots of people start trying to buy homes and there aren't many on the market, then prices go up. That encourages builders to build more houses and current owners to sell. If demand weakens, prices go down and builders slow construction. It isn't instantaneous, but even major "corrections" usually stabilize in a year or so. |
calliope, I see now. You said (quite clearly) county which I read as country. |

Huber skips over a straight biography, but for a few asides. Stanton went into acting after serving in the Navy during World War II. He started off onstage but moved on to TV and the movies, explaining pragmatically that he didn't like how much work theatre acting was and how little it paid. Early roles as cowpokes and the like played on his scrawny, Dust Bowl appearance and melancholic drawl. He worked his way up and around, befriending and working with everyone from Jack Nicholson to Kris Kristofferson. Later on, filmmakers from Wim Wenders to David Lynch, both of whom are here to sing Stanton's praises, cast him in signature roles in The Straight Story and Paris, Texas. Huber craftily uses extensive sequences from both films, in which Stanton is able to draw deep wells of emotion and story out of little more than a look, to help explain the Stanton mystique.
Wenders and Lynch try to describe the magic that Stanton creates on camera for them. But it's Paris, Texas writer Sam Shepard who puts it best. He points out that Stanton knows that his ragged face, with the sunken cheeks and those burning eyes, tells a story all on its own. Just by showing up onscreen and without saying a word, audiences are interested. It's a trick that works for Huber's film, which spends a lot of time just hanging around and waiting for him to open up. When he finally does, it's usually worth it: particularly the asides from an unexpected womanizer about his relationships with Rebecca De Mornay (who he lost to Tom Cruise) and Debbie Harry (who wrote a song about him).
In between showing clips or following him to his local watering hole, all of it shot in smoky deep colors by the great Seamus McGarvey, Huber interjects numerous black-and-white sequences of Stanton singing. They're all outstanding selections, and included in their entirety, ranging from a dusty Mexican corrido to a heart-meltingly gorgeous "Blue Bayou." Each tells a story and by themselves they are worth the price of admission.
Harry Dean Stanton: Partly Fiction is by definition a limited-audience documentary. But with the breadth of talent and expansiveness of thought on display here, the last thing it is, in design or execution, is limited.

Pediatric Rheumatology Health Library
Pediatric Rheumatology
Understanding the concepts of rheumatology is difficult since it involves so many different organ systems. We often think of arthritis as affecting the joints, but those who have it know that it affects all aspects of the body. Since our immune system affects many organs, rheumatologic diseases are systemic diseases. Most often the musculoskeletal system is involved, but all other organs may be involved. Pediatric Rheumatologists are interested in the immune system and how it becomes confused and recognizes its own tissues as foreign (autoimmunity), inflammation, and genetic causes of inflammation.
Please follow these links to learn more about rheumatology and problems that may occur with the immune system, autoimmune disease and autoinflammatory diseases.

Zircus is a group of people (Aleš Gangl, Tomislav Gangl, Marko Štruc, Maks Gregor, Aleš Krevh, Uroš Bračič, Rok Bricman) exercising musical, visual art and art in general. So far they manifest through releasing albums and live act. The current members are all from Slovenia, where Zircus was formed in 2004.
The first incarnation of what Zircus is today, started when Aleš (computer, electronics, vocals) and Maks (guitar, bass) joined and started ZircuS as a band, combined with music that affected their past. Soon Uroš (drums, percusions) responded to an add for a drummer as a percussionist. He became first and one of two ZircuS drummers. Tomi (Aleš's brother) was collaborating with Aleš on his previous musical attempts and became more and more involved throughout group's evolution (he made fliers and posters for each individual gig). ZircuS premiered their first gig in december 2004 in Slovenj Gradec. Since the first concert Maks took over ZircuS's management. In 2009 Rok Bricman (guitar) and soon after Aleš Krevh (synthesizer) joined ZircuS. As a full member Marko Štruc (drums, electronics, percusions) became the last full time member of the collective. He appeared on few gigs as a guest in ZircuS earlier days.
The group uses both conceptual and non-conceptual frameworks. Since 2003 they released two studio albums (Epic tribe (2010), Away from the safety zone (2012) and one demo/amateur album (Journey, 2009).
Zircus was involved in music and graphic creation and production of a Video Mapping project Svetlobni stolp (Light tower). Three songs (Gold in the ground, It was raining and Satanic blues) were premiered for the first time as a music that accompanied the video projection on a church. On 16th May 2012 the same team (Chamelotron) is preparing a Video Mapping project for official opening of the new machine in Metal Ravne.
Their music genre is eclectic and varies throughout their work. There is a constant strive for use of all sorts of techniques from different styles. They use strong, loud, sometimes mystical, quickly changing and slowly evolving sounds, which - with visual projections - make the state between the virtual and the real unrecognizable. Rock and electronics are the core, the two sources, which provides the method for their expression. ZircuS always hopes that this expression is a synthesis of their inspirations into something completely new, unique and authentic.
Live shows include experimentation with wardrobe, art of body painting, and visuals produced under their authorship. The visuals are being projected on a canvas behind the band. The intention is to symbiotic synchronize visual and audio, musical experience into harmonized whole. The band has played at all the mayor festivals in Slovenia and in the Balkan region (Exit Festival (Serbia), Festival Lent (Slovenia), Ruhr (Cro) in the last year only. This year they opened for KLAXONS in Maribor. Zircus played over 150 shows and festivals in Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Austria, Bosnia, Germany, Montenegro.
The themes that ZircuS tries to explore vary from abstractly philosophical to practical, banal ordinaries which we bump into every day. Though Zircus inhabits the present and try to effect, entertain only what is significant today, they are marked and torn apart by the opposition of future developing technology and past, history, the ancient universal values and traditions that are omnipresent. The biggest influences are calming effect of absolute silence and disturbance of noise, all the visible on one hand and metaphysical on the other.

When people think of Noonday Collection, they think of bright colors and designs that incorporate both modern trends and traditional aesthetics. We knew that the artisans of Ecuador would be the perfect addition to the growing Noonday family. The natural resources that these artisans incorporate into their designs, like tagua and acai seeds, mean that their pieces are also a great way to promote sustainability in our pieces, which we love!

Okido Yoga, Hiking and Shiatsu with Michael Cullingworth |
Yoga Turkey - Yoga Retreat |
Yoga Retreat: | Okido Yoga, Hiking and Shiatsu with Michael Cullingworth |
Gölköy Bodrum Turkey | ||
Event is Over | ||
Okido Yoga | ||
Yoga Turkey | ||
Open your body, open your heart, open your mind and completely relax. In this retreat we will explore small and subtle movements, free flowing, dynamic, powerful, playful and wild movements. We will touch some of the many dimensions of Okido yoga: purification practice, strengthening, corrective and harmonizing asana practice, as well as breathing and meditation. The aim of the physical practice is to be able to meet all daily life situations with appropriate poise, power and grace. It is not a yoga just for the yoga mat or the mountain top. It is a yoga of searching for the truth of how you can create the best alignment with the present moment. Okido Yoga is the teaching of Japanese Master Masahiro Oki. It's a dynamic and varied style of yoga that draws on many oriental sources, such as martial arts, Zen, shiatsu and macrobiotics as well as Indian Yoga, with the aim of healing on individual, social and environmental levels. Michael's first intense experience of Okido yoga was in 1989 and he has been a constant devotee since then, studying with Hirotsugu Mori, Mizue Tamaki and many others. He is also a shiatsu practitioner and teacher in London. Shiatsu treatments will be available some afternoons at a special rate for course participants. |

"Khloe has been very open about her fertility issues and I think I was always really kind of quiet about mine," Kim told Today's Samantha Guthrie.
"And I have similar issues, and so it was a pleasant surprise when so many doctors were telling me one thing and then the opposite happens."
Kim called her pregnancy, which she and boyfriend Kanye confirmed in December, "a blessing knowing my circumstances".
It's the first time Kim has publicly admitted to having fertility issues watch the video to hear what else she had to say.
The 32-year-old reality star also revealed that her baby is due in July, but her and Kanye are not rushing to walk down the aisle before then. Besides, she's still technically married to Kris Humphries.
"It's something that we talk about, but I think it's just right now [we're] focusing on the baby," Kim said.
"What I've learned in life is I was always such a planner ... you think your life is going to be a certain way, and the best surprises just happen when you don't plan."
In the meantime, Kim is hoping her divorce to Kris goes smoothly ("It's a process … it's happening, hopefully") as she returns to TV screens on Kourtney & Kim Take Miami on January 20. We're sure to see plenty of baby talk this season!
Check out Kim's hot bikini promo for the show before her pregnancy made world news:

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Pelli and Koko!
Facts about Pelli and Koko
- Breed: Abyssinian
- Color: Tan Or Fawn Tabby
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Pelli and Koko's Info...
I am already neutered and up to date with shots.
Pelli and KoKo
12 Year Old Brother and Sister Ruddy Abyssinians
Must be adopted together
Purebreds Plus Cat Rescue is helping facilitate the placement of these cats. We take no responsibility for these cat's health and medical records. It is the responsibility of the owner and adopter to discuss this.
Pelli and KoKo's owner became unable to care for them about 2 years ago due to Alzheimer's and other health issues. They were taken in by the owner's niece who unfortunately cannot keep them as she is moving out of the area. Pelli and KoKo were purchased as kittens from an Australian Abyssinian breeder. The breeder knows what has happened in these cats lives and knows it is not in their best interest to fly back to her in Australia. Their caretaker has all breeding information for the new owners. They were born March 2000.
In Pelli and KoKo's original home, they shared their space with a Maine Coon cat and several dogs, so other animals in their home should be no problem with proper introduction. THEY DO NEED TO BE PLACED TOGETHER. These cats are very friendly, very gentle, playful, communicative, and EXTREMELY affectionate, in other words, everything an Abyssinian should be.
Pelli, the male and larger of the two in the photos, is neutered and weighs approximately 10 pounds. He has a history of crystals in his urine, but his condition is well controlled with prescription Hill's Feline C/D canned food and he urinates normally. Pelli is a lap cat and loves his tummy kisses. He is up-to-date on his FVRCP vaccinations (due 5/14).
The female, KoKo, is spayed and weighs approximately 6 pounds. KoKo loves her toys and sleeps under the covers of caretaker's bed. She is up-to-date on her FVRCP vaccinations (due 5/14).
We know there is one of you reading of Pelli and KoKo's plight and is thinking that you could give them a home. Just look at their faces and ask yourself if you can leave them where they are without giving them the love you are feeling for them at this moment. Can't you imagine these cats sun-bathing in your window (their favorite activity), Pelli sitting in your lap and KoKo sleeping with you? We have seen over and over those of you that are called to give senior cats a loving home for their senior years. Is that you?
If these cats are calling to you, call Karen at 707-301-6425 or by email at email@example.com
Other Pets at Purebreds Plus Cat Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Pelli and Koko, a Vacaville Abyssinian cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Abyssinian for sale in Vacaville, or seeking a Abyssinian cat from a breeder in Vacaville.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Vacaville already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Vacaville breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Abyssinian breeders who help with Abyssinian rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Vacaville paves the way for another one to be saved.

Don't Miss
In 2010, Panasonic offered up a scorching TV in the form of the VT20 — a flagship plasma that finally promised performance approaching that of the much-venerated Kuro.
Twelve months on, Panasonic has released the second TV in this series, with the new "louvre" tech, but is it better — or is it a step back?
Unusually for the Japanese company, the VT30 marks the first time that a flagship hasn't been assembled in Japan. According to Panasonic, the TV panel is still manufactured in the Japanese plasma plant, but the 50-inch version is assembled in south-east Asia — hence the "Made in Thailand" sticker. The 55-inch and 65-inch still read "Made in Japan".
If you, like us, weren't exactly fans of the metallic brown of last year's TV, you'll be pleased that the company has adopted an eminently more stylish position: piano gloss-black and a "one sheet of glass" design. The TV is also the thinnest Panasonic yet, shaving about half of the thickness off from last year's model.
After this year's CES in Las Vegas, it seemed that " Smart TV " would be the next big thing, and while it's too early to tell, Panasonic has taken the opportunity to rebrand its TVs as " Smart Viera ".
The TV boasts an "Infinite Black Pro 2 Panel", which promises "more subtle, delicate blacks in both dark and bright environments than last year's Infinite Black Pro Panel provided".
In addition, this television is the company's most tricked-out yet, with the new Viera Connect system offering IPTV, DLNA streaming, Skype and full THX certification for both 2D and 3D and "apps", including games and Wii-like exercise workouts.
Web surfing and Facebooking are not fun on a television, and the Panasonic wisely steers clear of these frivolities. As Panasonic was one of the first companies to include Skype, the trend continues with the VT30 — if you add the AU$199 camera — and if you Skype a Panasonic DVR owner, there is now the option to leave a message.
The TVs incorporate catch-up TV from ABC iView, joining the existing Plus 7 service, and further Australian content is promised.
Connectivity includes wireless and wired LAN, four HDMI ports, one component (with proprietary adaptor), VGA, composite and three USB ports.
We waited with quite a bit of anticipation for this television, but now, having tested it, we can say that it's not the best TV that we'll see this year. While it performs excellently in some areas, in others it's one of the worst that we've seen in a long time.

RENO, NV - This afternoon will be breezy and cool as a storm system heads out of Nevada into Utah.
The next storm system is already taking shape. By Tuesday snow will start to fall in the Sierra. Tuesday night into Wednesday we see the heaviest snow in the mountains. We could get up to 2 feet in the highest elevations.
Tuesday will be windy in Reno with gusts up to about 40mph. While this storm moves through, Reno will see a chance for rain rather than snow Tuesday night through Wednesday.
Temperatures warm up before the third storm heads our way next weekend.

A lawsuit filed by the Rocky Mountain College development director portrays RMC president Michael Mace as a violent, threatening boss who drove away employees and potential donors to the private college.
Shari VanDelinder filed the civil law suit in District Court on Monday against Mace and the college.
The suit includes five complaints, two of which —assault and infliction of emotional distress — are against Mace.
The other two are against the college for failure to provide a safe place to work and negligent supervision of Mace.
The fifth is against both Mace and the college for punitive damages.
Reached by phone, Mace said that the suit is "a personnel matter, and there's no comment."
Board of Trustees chairman Barbara Skelton said Monday afternoon that she had not seen the court document yet.
"I can't make a comment until I do," she said.
In a later e-mail, Skelton said that VanDelinder's concerns were taken seriously and investigated thoroughly by trustees.
"The board offered a fair resolution and is disappointed she did not avail herself of that remedy," Skelton wrote without further explanation.
Skelton did write that "the Board of Trustees hopes to move forward with the mission of the College under the leadership of President Mike Mace."
Contacted Monday, VanDelinder said she was advised by her attorney not to comment on the case.
VanDelinder is seeking unspecified compensatory, punitive damages and other costs related to the suit.
The abuse began not long after VanDelinder became development director in August 2007, the suit claims. Before that, she was special events coordinator, who had organized the Black Tie and Blue Jean event, which brought in record amounts of money for the college.
She continued to work on the event as part of her fundraising job.
After a successful 2007 Black Tie Blue Jeans, Mace screamed at her about too much attention being paid to one benefactor and not enough of another, according to the suit.
When VanDelinder explained that the person receiving the most attention had given the most money, "Mace got madder and screamed more," the suit said.
When VanDelinder printed out donation histories of the two sponsors and gave it to Mace, "he ripped them up and threw them away," court documents said.
Mace later apologized to VanDelinder.
In 2008, Mace called VanDelinder into his office and started screaming at her as he walked toward her, the suit alleged. She backed up against a door as he continued to scream.
"Mace hovered in, his nose only a few inches from her face, still yelling and then he started ramming his index finger into the door next to VanDelinder's ears, first on one side then on the other," according to the suit.
VanDelinder escaped through the door into the kitchen.
Mace undermined many of VanDelinder's money-raising projects, the suit alleged.
"He instructed her not to speak to certain donors, failed to make phone calls to prospective donors, went into tirades in front of donors and maligned VanDelinder to her face and to others," according to the suit.
After unsuccessfully trying to get Mace's behavior to change by talking to him, VanDelinder talked with Skelton and Rocky human resource officials.
VanDelinder's treatment by Mace led to her having headaches, insomnia, canker sores and panic attacks, the suit said.
After being treated in a hospital emergency room for a severe headache in late February, VanDelinder took a family leave from her job. She was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress syndrome as the result of Mace's behavior because it reminded VanDelinder of treatment she received in her first marriage, the suit said.
She remains on medical leave, but still is employed by the college.
On March 11, Skelton questioned VanDelinder about her complaints against Mace. On March 23, Skelton found that Mace had not discriminated against women nor had singled out VanDelinder for poor treatment, but that VanDelinder should have the chance to be managed by someone else than Mace.
Because VanDelinder had been managed by others before but that had not protected her from Mace, she didn't expect a new manager would either.
Skelton told VanDelinder to report to her or the human resources office if VanDelinder had more problems with Mace.
The suit alleged that trustees disregarded the college's conflict-of-interest policies for trustees when Skelton was allowed to handle VanDelinder's grievance.
Skelton not only is chairwoman of Rocky board, she provides the college with facilities for its equestrian program for more than $270,000, the largest amount paid by Rocky to any independent contractor.
Mace Holdings LLP, a real estate holding company of which Michael Mace is president and CEO, also rents office space in Billings from Coal Black Cattle Co., which is managed by Skelton.
As of March 1, Mace was two months behind in his rent for that property, the suit said.
Skelton also served on the board of trustees, when Mace, also then a trustee, was chosen to be interim president of Rocky when the previous president was ousted in late 2005.
Mace offered to serve in the temporary post for $1 a year.
Skelton moved to accept Mace's offer and volunteered to lead the search for a new president.
The suit alleged that the search never was started and that Mace was named president six months later with "a real salary." His salary now is $150,000.
According to the suit, Rocky trustees knew about Mace's violence and outbursts and had a legal obligation under state law to provide a safe place for employees to work.
The lawsuit also noted Mace's 2007 arrest in Indiana on misdemeanor battery charges and that he spent one night in jail after being charged with physically assaulting a contractor. The lawsuit said that Mace later pleaded guilty.
He agreed to pay court costs, see a counselor for anger management and do community service. After Mace completed those requirements, the charges were dismissed, but not erased from his record.
Rusty Harper, Rocky's vice president of development flew to Indiana to bail Mace out of jail, the suit said. A month later, Harper resigned, becoming one of 19 administrators to leave Rocky in 4-1/2 years.

Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-Queens and Brooklyn) maintained his media silence Wednesday as the scandal over erotic photos, text messages and alleged conversations between himself and at least half a dozen young women across the country continued to develop.
New aspects of the congressman's admitted improprieties and resulting political and personal crises were being reported by the hour ever since the tearful Monday press conference at which he admitted the raunchy photo that launched the matter was in fact his, and apologized for lying about it.
One woman said the congressman had in fact contacted her from his office in the Capitol, which would be a breach of House ethics rules. Transcripts of sexually explicit online conversations in which he discussed his state of arousal were released. One report said that one of the girls whose Twitter feed he had been following was only 16, though there was no claim of any sexual subject matter in their messaging. Twitter is the text and photo service that allows users to send information to multiple users at once, and was the forum on which the first sexually oriented photo of Weiner appeared.
Late Wednesday afternoon, The New York Times reported that Weiner's wife, Huma Abedin, is pregnant, according to knowledgeable sources. Abedin, a top aide to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, has not spoken about the scandal publicly since it broke.
During his press conference, Weiner said his wife was extremely disappointed by the revelations and that he hopes to make it through the first year of their marriage. They were married in July 2010.
The congressman said he had not had an actual relationship with any of the women and that his wife knew about some of the online contacts before they were married. He said, however, that she did not know until Monday that the first photo, one of an aroused man in his underwear, was his.
On the political front, Weiner's fellow Democrats have largely offered him little support. The Queens Democratic Organization has issued no statements since the scandal erupted and did not immediately respond to a request for comment. House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) called for the House Ethics Committee to launch an investigation of Weiner's activities as soon as he admitted that the photo that sparked the scandal was indeed his. And on Tuesday Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nevada) said that he is unable to defend the congressman, and that if he called him for advice, he would advise him to call someone else.
The House Republican leadership has been calling for Weiner to resign, and on Wednesday Rep. Allyson Schwartz (D-Penn.) became the first House Democrat to say publicly that he should step down.
In Queens, Matt Turner, the spokesman for and son of Weiner's last GOP challenger, Bob Turner of the Rockaways, also said he should leave office.
"We're saddened for Congressman Weiner as an individual, but we think he absolutely should resign," Turner said, asserting that Monday's press conference shows that Weiner continues to lie about the scandal. The congressman had said he had not coached any of the women on what to say if questioned about the matter, but one of them said later that he had in fact advised her and even offered to let his public relations people help her deal with the notoriety.
Asked if his father might run for the seat again, Turner said he is taking a wait-and-see approach but would seriously consider it if the Republican Party asked him to.
Weiner said Monday that he intends to stay in office. He repeatedly and tearfully said he was apologizing to his wife, family, staffers, the media and everyone else he had lied to.
"I've brought pain to people I cared about the most, and people who believed in me, and for that I am terribly sorry," he said.
Pressed by a reporter, Weiner eventually apologized specifically to Andrew Breitbart, the conservative blogger who first reported the existence of the photo that started the scandal two weeks ago. In an unexpected turn of events, Breitbart himself went to the Manhattan hotel where the press conference was to take place and took over the mike before Weiner arrived, to tell his side of events.
Weiner also said that his terrible personal judgment does not reflect on his service in office, but that if a constituent decided to no longer support him over the controversy, he would understand. He alternately described his actions as shameful, inappropriate, dumb, destructive and other similar words. He also said, in response to a question, that alcohol was not a factor in what he did and that he does not use drugs.
Weiner had been considered a top candidate for mayor in 2013 before the scandal broke.

The Marxist party babble isn't real popular right now. The founding fathers retained debtors' prisons, which should be used for the BBLC. In addition, they need a prison for a demagogue who, to try and save his political position, lies to the American public about the recent 911 terrorist attack by claiming it was the result of a "hate Muslims video" that created a spontaneous demonstration.
Your political agenda has nothing to do with the state of the Red Sox past or present. Baseball is a sport, not a political platform. Your insistences on tying the two together makes one wonder, where your interest really lies? Baseball doesn't care if your Marxist, Conservative, Liberal, Christian, Muslim or Athirst. That's what's so wonderful about sports, it's politically blind. It doesn't care.
By continually putting a political twist on everything Red Sox, you not only insult the great game of Baseball, you also insult the Red Sox and their fans. If you're really a Red Sox fan talk Baseball on this forum and keep your political agenda where it belongs on a political forum.

why does everyone care about football? its dumb. but it is a good excuse to have a dance.
the general belief in terms of dates is that I'm not going with andy but should be. you (whoever you are) dont want to hear about the romances of all the poeple around me, so I wont say anything.
I was in a musical set in the fiffties. not a very well known one so thats all I'll bothere saying.
here is what followed:
I would love to tell allie that I like girls...... she wouldnt care and she would actually understand a few weird-ness-es that I dont think she currently does. BUT allie is convinced shes insane, not quite eating and sure that shes selfish. it just seems a little cruel to give her more to be stressed out about.
Like a huge orb through a needle
It lies
You were the first to see it
The first to draw it out
To fill it a patched balloon until
It hung luminous
My own moon
To big now
Wont go back through
Ill give half of it to you
You dont mind
Do you?
wow..... its been forever hasnt it just?
"pitiful creature of darkness
what kind of life have you known?
god give me courage to show you
you are not alone...."
The phantom is cooler than Raoul by alot...... but yes obsessed now....
there is another large crisis going on now (will they never end?) but a boy liked a girl then hated her then liked a boy anmd now is acting odd and likes the girl again and denies saying anything against her......
Me and alexa have had many many many long aim conversations about everything ("loosing my religion" to random letters to why people suck) and I am so close to coming out to her. honestly, alexa is like a guidence couniler, everyone babbles off thier problems to her. I would feel kind of bad sticking my selfishly kept secrets on her. Not that it would be anything new to her. but still
I have had three dreams now with the same girl in them. I dont know her and she's diferent ages in diferent dreams. everytime I "see" her, I feel like I know her really well. I remember last night I had a conversation with her about who she was but I can remember it. does anyone else do thins kind of thing? am I way out there insane?
I got into the happy choir!!!!!!! HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY!!!!!!! and the math team!!! more happy!!!
We just started persuasive (like I know how to spell it) speaches. like the coward I am, I'm not doing gay marrige (mat is doing anti-gay marrige). I'm doing internet filtering.
we started art this semester and it sucks. ("now we're going to draw a circle. can you draw a circle?"). but my table is great. my chair is very close to the chair of the girl I liove. (not a typo.)
I had a really long conversation witha particularly articulate friend about what makes people like people. we came to no definate conclutions though. anyway... she named her tea after me... it made me feel special.
I am so many reasons
for so many things
I wonder if you know me
and what do you see
I know so many jokes
you wouldnt understand
I am so many people
each dying to be heard
Maybe someday I'll tell you
the story of all their lives
For today I'm just yours-
Today I joined my friends lunch group. Which is when once a week they eat the guidence conseler and have discussions. Today, it was regrets. I regret lots of things, mostly having to do with not standing up to people, but I didnt really want to relate them to a buch of people I barley know.
My point is, my friend, Allie, aparently did the same thing I did in sixth grade, she just got a head start... but that isnt even her biggest regret... any way she did hers in a nuch subtler way than I did and she's alot calmer and more able to talk than I am. It just made me think, y'know? Even better, one of my friends was ABSOULTLY convinced Allie was perfect, and she isnt anymore.
I find new years to be the stupidest holiday ever. why does everyon think that over one night they can suddenly get ton more motivated to do whatever it is they want to do so much. why is it the end of the year? if you really want something you should be able to work hard all year. oh well.
TO everyone though: cheers.
I think my friend thinks I'm a lesbian. I really dont feel like writing down the whole conversation but basicaly she's all "I wonder what its like to be a lebian" and then goes on for a while about how she doesnt know. then when she asks if I understand I ask her if she s just crypticly asking if I like girls. she SAYS no, she would just ask but then she all "Im not homophobic" and then the conversation ends.
why is it so much easier to talk to your friends of a year then your friends of your life? I can come out unpropted to a girl I had known at the time for about six months but even when Maddie asks I cant tell her. I think it may be the age diference. some thing about having someone whose known you since you were one and she was three know things you prefer to keep from the world... it just gives them to much power.
soo.. new school, new state, new time zone. I am with the evil small children known as sixth graders!!!! I hate every single teacher, and most kids. but Rachel is nice. rachel ALMOST makes up for everyone elses whatever-it-is-that-buggs-me-so-much. our heath teacher is a moron. and unsypathetic. and stupid. there was a nazi thing on the back of a chair and he did nothing.

Collectable minifig barcode decoder
Posted by Huw,Further to our article last week about being able to find out what's inside the bag before you buy, the German website bricks.inof.de has posted information showing which barcode relates to which minifig.
There's still some uncertainty as to which countries the information presented relates to, but my guess is that there will be two types of packaging: North American and everywhere else. The NA packets will have barcodes on the right, as shown on the Eurobricks picture, and everywhere else will have them on the left. The information at the link above is for left-barcoded packets.
Update: It's now confirmed that the information at inof.de does also relate to the packets that will be available in the UK, and the barcodes on the US packets are different.
(via the rather good The Ugly Duckling at BrickLink minifig blog)

Thank you very much Huw and Germany people.
i Didnt really understand the website, are those Europe codes or US codes?
@knuclear200x: He's saying that this works for European codes, but the important thing is as soon as someone gets a case of them at retail, they're likely to make a list like this for the US market. YAY!
Are they released in US stores yet?
Well I don't know about you guys but I'm just going to feel the bag to see whats inside! :-)
The codes of the US packets are definitely different. You posted a picture of the back of a US packet of the Spaceman (figure no. 13) here:
The barcode is clearly different from mine (I've got the European one).
I've got a strategy, why not just keep track of the barcodes numbers once you buy one so you can collect them all without duplicates! I'm saying this to all of the US folks like me who want to collect 'em all.
@r2d2qa, because the barcode which identifies the contents doesn't have a number under it...
@inof, thanks for the clarification.
How are people getting them so early?
I've checked the details on bricks.inof.de and the barcodes are the same as the ones I have. Mine are all item number 4559116 with barcodes on the left of the rear of the pack. I have the following minifigures: Zombie, Caveman, Robin Hood, Astronaut, Diver, Crash Test Dummy, Magician and Wrestler and my barcodes exactly match the ones printed on those PDFs. Therefore the only thing that's wrong on that site is the suggestion that UK barcodes are different; they're not.
Hey, does anyone know if these figs are available yet in Japan? I just moved (lovin it!) - but now I need to relearn the Lego landscape! Thanks!!
Using the barcode app on my android phone I was able to scan the spaceman package and it gave me a barcode# of 14471416 now while this is deffinatly different form the european barcodes this does give us the opportunity to cheat a bit, provided that someone has a barcode scanner on them and someone else posts the barcode #'s on the web such as oh say a website, wink wink nudge nudge. oh and on a totally unrelated subject there opening up a lego store in Miami soon! yeah!
for those interested the european barcode # for spaceman is 673419133807
My Lego Brand Store says the release date is May 1. She said they would sell them by the case but so many people have asked her about the mini's that she doubts she will be able to sell them as cases since their first priority is for the kids and these will likely sell out within the first few days. I would check online for sites that allow pre-orde and start fishing around at Target and Wal-marts for inventory.
@Martin: Thanks for clarification! I'll correct the description on my site ASAP.
@mrdennings: Are you sure about your barcode number? These barcodes are so-called EAN codes that should have 12 digits, and they should all begin with 673419 (the vendor code assigned to LEGO). Maybe your barcode app didn't recognize the code completely? Note that the very left part of it is obscured by that "flap" of the bag, so be sure to move it out of the way.
By the way, I would be willing to create a PDF for the US barcodes, just like one I did for the European ones. This would be pretty easy because I already have all the software in place. I just need some help to collect the barcodes. So, if you're in the US and got one of these minifig bags with the barcode on the right (the smaller barcode without numbers beneath!), please mail a photo of it to [email protected] ... It doesn't have to be high quality, but if your camera has a macro mode, please use it. Of course, if you have a scanner, you can use that, too (300 dpi should be perfect). And if you're able to decode the barcode yourself, you can just mail me the EAN number, of course.
Just a few thoughts this poly bag mini-fig release.
-Count on the bar codes being removed in future releases.
-look forward:
- to series dedicated to type (like castle release, space, city)
-Licensed series (Star Wars, Harry potter,etc)
Further, this poly bag concept lends itself to the "chase figure", we see that with baseball cards, pokemon.
As a toy dealer for years I think this will be a long term good investment, putting back a sealed (very important) box or two, will likely serve you well in the long term; as series 2, 3, 4…. Come out traditionally people seek to fill their collection with prior releases.
One other trick companies do to increase sales, is to produce the "accidental" color or printing variation.
Also, consider keeping your poly bags, I have seen many situations where in lieu of a chase figure companies will run a reward program like "send in xx proof of purchases barcodes and receive your special…"
I guess we'll all see pretty soon.
@inof it is verry possible that i got a bad read off of the barcode, I was just using the picture of the back of the bag from the above link for the scan and it took a while do get it to take, so I have no problem admitting that I may have been wrong. If someone doesn't beat me to it, when I get home tonight I'll scan the barcodes and email you the #'s but heres the thing, the way the barcode scanner works on my phone is that it will read the barcode and then give me the option to search the web for that #. For a typical barcode someone has posted it online usually with the hopes of selling said scanned item so, wham, bam I have a price comparison in hand. I am all for creating a PDF database however to one up this process (short of someone making an app for it) I'd like to see these barcodes and figures posted online in a way that will allow a google search to find it and display it when scanned. This may be simply creating a flicker gallery with each figure labled with the barcode # or it may be more difficult than that I'm sorry to say thats a bit beyond my knolwedge base.
Does anyone have any Idea as to what scale lego is producing these collections? are they aiming to fuel a secondary market with limited releases or will they be saturating the market with a Gianormious production run?
This first collection will be available until September: buy them while you can, or pay inflated BrickLink prices afterwards!
Re: mrdennings question:
"Does anyone have any Idea as to what scale lego is producing these collections? are they aiming to fuel a secondary market with limited releases or will they be saturating the market with a Gianormious production run?"
Lego does few things on a small scale. Priority one is to make money. I think the question is will / can these end up in smaller stores (like comic book shops)
I think the what will answer this question will be: Are these mini-figs going to be available throught Diamond Comic Distribution. DCD supplies comic / collectible toys to ALL comic shops and many speciality shops.
In fact, if they are available via the secondary market like comic shops, etc. they might fuel a fire under them.
Fact is, if you act fast you're going to be better off on this product. What is 16 figures going to cost anyway... $32 USA. Be smart and get em fast.
yes these are available thru Diamond. The Previews catalog solicited the first series in the April catalog page 380. Your local comic shop would have been able to order these if the deadline for ordering hasn't passed, and I believe the orders deadline for the April items has passed. I didn't go with my shop for ordering these for my own reasons. But anyone could ask at their local shop to flip thru the catalog and inquire about ordering. Be prepared to *pre-pay* and also be prepared to order a full case, most comic shops will probably require both. Watch the May 2010 Previews catalog for Series 2...
inof: I don't know if someone will get around to it before me, but as soon as they are released I am going to buy a box ang well try to email the pics.
I too am really curious as to what the strategy will be in terms of volume of production, both with this initial run as well as with future series releases. It seems this product is stirring up quite an interest. I will likely be buying extra sets in case these sets will become high demand items in the future.
Let me just add that I am assuming Series 2 will be solicited in the May Previews. I don't guarantee it will be there.
I'm curious to see how many retailers will be stocking these and how long they will last/ sell out...
Hey Huw I hav a question, will these be available online at legoshop.com? If so then would the just send you a random one? Also when are these gonna be available in the US? I'm drooling over the pics of the minifigs there so cool! :)
Keep on Brick'n
Woo hoo, got em preordered!
And how did you do that?
Yes, how and where did you preorder them? Are you able to choose which ones you want online, or did you order a case of 60 or more?
Zacherano: I don't know where romdam got them, but you can preorder them here:
Single 'fig: http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=LGO10082&mode=retail
Case of 60: http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=LGO10083&mode=retail
"Master" case of 120: http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=LGO10084&mode=retail
It says that the minifigs are random. :(
@cjg - Thanks!
Yea, that's where I got mine. I ordered a master case. I figure I should get one set out of them.
Strictly speaking, assuming Lego hasn't got any plans for 'rare' variants or color variants (how about a sand green Zombie?) , a factory-sealed box of 60 should yield almost four complete sets. I'm sure most of us will try to keep at least one set sealed in their packet :-) I know I'm going to try to, either by feel or watching for the 'barcode key'.
When are these released at TRU in the USA? Anyone know?
Just put an order in for a case... too bad they don't ship till June
And if anybody is interested, I found them cheaper here:
10 pack: http://www.entertainmentearth.com/prodinfo.asp?number=LG8683AAA
Case of 60: http://www.entertainmentearth.com/prodinfo.asp?number=LG8683AA
Case of 120: http://www.entertainmentearth.com/prodinfo.asp?number=LG8683A
Yea, that's actually where I got mine from too. I thought the post above was right but got them from EE for like $10 cheaper.
I'm hoping to keep a box sealed. Those bad boys are going to be HOT!
Anybody know they if can be pre-ordered in the UK, and if so where from?
dustinmroberts: Thanks! I might get a ten pk from that site.
happy to help!

The back is marked as"Honolulu" with Wedgewood & Co. England and F114Y or possibly F1194'. It is like a small tray with little handles. A sandwich plate perhaps? The plate is 10 x 7 1/2 inches. It has signs of use but I wonder if there is any value (other than sentimental)? Thanks for any help |

My grandmother had small tray-plates like that. They came with little cups and cake plates, so I think they were an elegant version of TV trays, for teas and bridal showers. |
