Execution by firing squad, sometimes called fusillading (from the French fusil, rifle), is a method of capital punishment, particularly common in the military and in times of war. Execution by shooting is a fairly old practice. Some reasons for its use are that firearms are usually readily available and a gunshot to a vital organ usually kills the subject relatively quickly. Before the introduction of firearms, bows or crossbows were often used — Saint Sebastian is usually depicted as executed by a squad of Roman auxiliary archers in around 288 AD; King Edmund the Martyr of East Anglia, by some accounts, was tied to a tree and shot dead by Viking archers on 20 November 869 or 870 AD.
A firing squad is normally composed of several soldiers or law enforcement officers. Usually, all members of the group are instructed to fire simultaneously, thus preventing both disruption of the process by a single member and identification of the member who fired the lethal shot. The prisoner is typically blindfolded or hooded, as well as restrained, although in some cases prisoners have asked to be allowed to face the firing squad without their eyes covered. Executions can be carried out with the condemned either standing or sitting. There is a tradition in some jurisdictions that such executions are carried out at first light, or at sunrise, which is usually up to half an hour later. This gave rise to the phrase "shot at dawn".
Execution by firing squad is distinct from other forms of execution by firearms, such as an execution by a single firearm to the back of the head or neck. However, the single shot (coup de grâce) is sometimes incorporated in a firing squad execution, particularly if the initial volley turns out not to be immediately fatal.

The method is often the supreme punishment or disciplinary means employed by military courts martial for crimes such as cowardice, desertion or mutiny. For military servicemen, the firing squad has a symbolic significance. The condemned soldier is executed by a group of his peers, indicating that he is found guilty by the entire group. Although a court-martial might be presided by and prosecuted by officers, the instruments of execution are the ordinary weapons fired by members of the group from which he is being expunged. Furthermore, in judicially approved executions, the condemned man is allowed to stand, rather than kneel; in many cultures, the ability or the will to stand in the face of adversity or danger is considered a salient feature of individual pride. Finally, the group action on one side (being the firing squad), with the condemned standing opposite, presents a visual contrast that reinforces to all witnesses that solidarity is an overriding necessity in a military unit.
In some cases one or more members of the firing squad may be issued a weapon containing a blank cartridge instead of one housing a live round.[1] No member of the firing squad is told beforehand if he is using live ammunition. This is believed to reinforce the sense of diffusion of responsibility among the firing squad members, making the execution process more reliable. It also allows each member of the firing squad to believe afterward that he did not personally fire a fatal shot[2]--for this reason, it is sometimes referred to as the "conscience round". While an experienced marksman can tell the difference between a blank and a live cartridge based on the recoil (the blank will have lower recoil), there is a psychological incentive to not pay attention and, over time, to remember the recoil as soft.[citation needed] In more recent times, such as in the execution of Ronnie Lee Gardner in Utah in the United States in 2010, a rifleman may be given a "dummy" cartridge containing wax instead of a bullet, which provides a more realistic recoil.[3]
The examples and perspective in this article may not represent a worldwide view of the subject. (January 2010) |
The death penalty was widely used during and after the Finnish Civil War; some 9,700 Finns and an unknown number of Russian volunteers on the Red side were executed during the war or in its aftermath.[4] Most executions were carried out by firing squads after the sentences were given by illegal or semi-legal courts martial. Only some 250 persons were sentenced to death in courts acting on legal authority.[5]
During World War II some 500 persons were executed, half of them condemned spies. The usual causes for death penalty for Finnish citizens were treason and high treason (and to a lesser extent cowardice and disobedience, applicable for military personnel). Almost all cases of capital punishment were tried by court-martial. Usually the executions were carried out by the regimental military police platoon, or in the case of spies, by the local military police. One Finn, Toivo Koljonen, was executed for a civilian crime (six murders). Most executions occurred in 1941 and during the Soviet Summer Offensive in 1944. The last death sentences were given in 1945 for murder, but later commuted to life imprisonment.[5]
The death penalty was abolished by Finnish law in 1949 for crimes committed during peacetime, and in 1972 for all crimes.[6] Finland is party to the Optional protocol of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, forbidding the use of the death penalty in all circumstances.[7]
Execution by firing squad is the common capital punishment method used in Indonesia. Fabianus Tibo, Dominggus da Silva and Marinus Riwu were executed in 2006. Nigerian drug smugglers Samuel Iwachekwu Okoye and Hansen Anthoni Nwaolisa were executed in June 2008 in Nusakambangan Island.[8] Five months later three men convicted for the 2002 Bali bombing--Amrozi, Imam Samudra and Ali Ghufron--were executed on the same spot in Nusakambangan.[9]
Following the 1916 Easter Rising in Ireland, 15 of the 16 rebel leaders were shot by the British military authorities under martial law. The executions have often been cited as a reason for how the rebels managed to galvanise public support in Ireland after their failed rebellion.[10]
During the Jordanian Siege of Jerusalem during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, the accurate Jordanian shelling of Israeli positions led to suspicions that a spy was operating. Meir Tobianski, a worker for the Israel Electric Corporation, was suspected since he knew the exact locations of several Israeli arms manufacturers, all of which received direct hits from Jordanian artillery. Tobianski was arrested at the Carmel Market in Tel Aviv. Orders to detain him for ten days were ignored, and he was instead interrogated and tried before a drumhead court-martial. Tobianski was found guilty and executed by a six-man firing squad. After an investigation, Tobianski was posthumously acquitted and reburied at Mount Herzl. Isser Be'eri, the officer who had ordered his execution and organized the firing squad, was tried for manslaughter. He was found guilty but pardoned by President Chaim Weizmann.[11]
Italy had used the firing squad as its only form of death penalty, both for civilians and military, since the unification of the country in 1861. The last execution took place on March 4, 1947, as Francesco La Barbera, Giovanni Puleo and Giovanni D'Ignoti, sentenced to death on multiple accounts of robbery and murder, faced the firing squad at the range of Basse di Stura, near Turin. Soon after the Constitution of the newly-proclaimed Republic prohibited the death penalty except for some crimes, like high treason, during wartime; no one was sentenced to death after 1947. In 2007, the Constitution was amended to ban the death penalty altogether.
During the Mexican Independence War several Independentist generals (such as Miguel Hidalgo and José María Morelos) were executed by Spanish firing squads.[12] Also, Emperor Maximilian I of Mexico and several of his generals were executed in the Cerro de las Campanas after the Juaristas took control of Mexico in 1867.[12] Manet immortalized the execution in a now-famous painting, The Execution of Emperor Maximilian; he painted at least three versions.
Firing-squad execution was the most common way to carry out a death sentence in Mexico, especially during the Mexican Revolution and the Cristero War.[12] After these events, the death sentence was reduced to some events in Article 22 of the Mexican Constitution; however, on June 18, 2008 capital punishment was abolished completely.[13]
During World War II, some 3000 persons were executed by German firing squads. The victims were sometimes sentenced by a military court; in other cases the victims were hostages or arbitrary people passing by who were executed publicly to intimidate the population and as reprisals against the resistance movements. After the attack on high-ranking German officer Rauter, about 300 persons were executed publicly as reprisal.
Anton Mussert, a Dutch Nazi leader, was sentenced to death by firing squad and executed in the dunes near The Hague on May 7, 1946.[14]
Vidkun Quisling, the leader of the collaborationist Nasjonal Samling Party and of Norway during the German occupation in World War II, was sentenced to death by firing squad for treason and executed on October 24, 1945, at the Akershus Fortress.[15]
Jose Rizal was executed by firing squad on the morning of December 30, 1896, in what is now Luneta Park, where his remains have since been placed.[16]
During the Marcos administration, drug trafficking was punishable by firing-squad execution, as was done to Lim Seng. Execution by firing squad was later replaced by lethal injection. By June 24, 2006, President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo abolished capital punishment by Republic Act 9346. Existing death row inmates, who numbered in the thousands, were eventually given life sentences or reclusion perpetua instead.[17]
Switzerland had capital punishment (during time of war and for treason only) until the 1990s. This was later abolished by fear that many Swiss Bankers might fall under that definition today.
In the United Arab Emirates, firing squad is the preferred method of execution.[18]
Execution by firing squad in the United Kingdom was limited to times of war, armed insurrection and within the military, although it is now outlawed in all circumstances, along with all other forms of capital punishment.
Australian soldiers Harry "Breaker" Morant and Peter Handcock were shot by a British firing squad in South Africa on February 27, 1902, for alleged war crimes during the Boer War; questions have since been raised as to whether they received a fair trial.
The Tower of London was used during both World Wars for executions: during World War I, 11 captured German spies were shot between 1914 and 1916. All spies executed during the First World War were buried in East London Cemetery, in Plaistow, London.[19] On August 15, 1941, German Cpl. Josef Jakobs was shot for espionage.
When the US Army took over Shepton Mallet prison in Somerset during 1942, renaming it Disciplinary Training Center No.1 and housing troops convicted of offences across Europe, 2 men were executed by firing squad for murder; Pte Alexander Miranda on 30 May 1944 and Pte Bejamin Pigate on November 28, 1944. Locals complained about the noise, as the executions took place in the open air at 1am.
Pte. Thomas Highgate was the first British soldier to be convicted of desertion and executed by firing squad during the First World War. In October 1916 Pte. Harry Farr was shot for cowardice, which was later suspected to be acoustic shock. Particularly since the 1960s, there has been some controversy concerning the 346 British and Imperial troops — including 25 Canadians, 22 Irish and 5 New Zealanders — who were shot for desertion, murder, cowardice and other offences during the war, some of whom are now thought to have been suffering from combat stress reaction or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder ("shell-shock", as it was then known). This led to organisations such as the Shot at Dawn Campaign being set up in later years to try to uncover just why these soldiers were executed.[20][21] The Shot at Dawn Memorial was erected to honour these soldiers.
According to Espy and Smylka,[22] it is estimated that 142 men have been judicially shot in the United States and English-speaking predecessor territories since 1608, excluding executions related to the American Civil War. The Civil War saw several hundred firing squad deaths, but reliable numbers are not available. On May 14, 1913, Andriza Mircovich became the first and only inmate in Nevada to be executed by shooting.[23] After the warden of Nevada State Prison was unable to find five men to form a firing squad,[24] a shooting machine was built to carry out Mircovich's execution.[25] On October 31, 1938, John Deering volunteered to have himself hooked up to an electrocardiogram while he was shot by a firing squad to observe the effect of gunshot wounds to the heart.[26]
On March 30, 1960, the execution of James W. Rodgers in Utah became the last to be carried out by firing squad in the United States before a de facto national moratorium on capital punishment was enacted with the U.S. Supreme Court decision of Furman v. Georgia.[27] Capital punishment was suspended in the United States from 1972 to 1976, when the case of Gregg v. Georgia reversed the U.S. Supreme Court's previous decision. Since then, there have been three executions by firing squad, all in Utah:
Idaho banned execution by firing squad in a law which took effect on July 1, 2009.[34] This left Oklahoma as the only state left in the United States that utilizes this method of execution (and only as a secondary method). On October 11, 2011, Florida State Representative Brad Drake sponsored a bill to give Florida death row inmates the option of death by firing squad.[35]

The Central Ontario Orchid Society is a non-profit group of orchid enthusiasts centered in the Kitchener-Waterloo area. The Society has over 100 members, stretching from Stratford to Orangeville and from Arthur to Brantford. The club holds meetings ten months of the year in Kitchener, presents an annual show in Cambridge(Hespeler), publishes a monthly newsletter and organizes trips to a number of orchid events each year. Membership is available to individuals of any age or expertise who show a sincere interest in orchids.
Membership in COOS will give you the opportunity to socialize with other orchid enthusiasts while you learn more of the beauty, culture and history of orchids. There are special courses for beginners as well as other programs for the more experienced orchid grower. We invite you to attend our meeting as a guest and see for yourself the excitement that orchids generate and while there, inquire about membership.
At our meetings, we have a regular programme of guest speakers, slide shows, and demonstrations. There is also sales of orchids and orchid supplies, a raffle table, a show table of member's plants, and refreshments. The Society maintains a borrowing library of orchid related literature for use by the members. The meetings provide an opportunity to tap the wealth of experience represented by our more experienced members. Our club members are very friendly, and always open to questions regarding orchid culture. You may also pick up various orchid potting supplies, fertilizers, books and plants at very reasonable prices. We also have a few social events each year, including the annual potluck Christmas party.
Our newsletter comes out a week before each meeting, and notifies members of upcoming meetings, orchid shows and other club events. We also have informative articles on orchid culture, conservation, club events, and other issues of interest to members. You can view some previous newsletters.
Our society and other orchid societies in the area each put on an annual show at which we put together a display using member's blooming orchids. Here is the opportunity to participate in the major social events in the world of orchids, meeting other orchid enthusiasts, growers, vendors and judges. These orchid shows are ribbon judged to find the best flowers in the show in each class. They are also judged by judges of the American Orchid Society to find the best flowers in North America. You could enjoy the thrill of winning an award for your favorite orchid.
Our annual orchid show and sale is held the last weekend of September. This is a great chance to see hundreds of orchids in full bloom in the show area, pick up some new plants in the large sales area, see how orchids are used in artistic displays, buy a raffle ticket, attend some educational seminars on orchid culture, and learn more about the club.
Orchids presented in displays at an orchid show are usually both ribbon judged and AOS judged. Orchids are ribbon judged against other orchids in that show in classes defined by a judging class schedule. (Usually based on the The Mid-America Orchid Congress schedule.) Plants with outstanding flowers will be AOS judged against standards for that kind of flower and any previous judgings.
There are times when one would like a flower judged outside of a show. You can take your plant to the Toronto Judging Centre. The Toronto Judging Centre monthly judgings are open to all orchid growers. You need not be a member of AOS or SOOS. You can bring your plants to the Civic Garden Centre before one o'clock on the designated Saturday of each month. Plants are judged for AOS awards in accordance with the Handbook on Judging and Exhibition. If your plant is awarded there is a charge by the AOS (about $50.00 US). Non payment forfeits the right to future judging. The Centre welcomes interested persons to come and observe the judging. There are opportunities to assist in plant research and administrative chores.
Dues are held to a minimum and normally cover the expenses associated with programs that are put on at each meeting. Membership fees cover the period from January through December. The fee is $15 for an individual or $20 for a family. A student membership is $5 per year.
To join the society or renew your membership please fill in the form - Membership Application/Renewal and either bring it to a meeting or mail it with your fee to the address supplied.
For more information, contact anyone listed on the COOS Executive below.
We have over 60 native orchid species, the lady slippers being the most showy. Please enjoy them where they are. Do not pick the flowers and, above all, do not try to transplant them. The native orchids are very sensitive to their habitat and depend on a variety of fungus for their growth. They do not survive transplanting for very long. Look, admire, but don't touch or trample.
-> TopYou have seen plenty of Phalaenopsis orchids for sale in the grocery stores but did you know that there are thousands of other kinds of orchids?

The Central Ontario Orchid Society was founded on May 26, 1985 when nine orchid growers met at a home in Kitchener to organize a local orchid society. Of the nine, only one could claim to be an experienced orchid grower, yet all were anxious to learn all about orchids. A name for the society was chosen. An executive was elected. Plans were made to draw up a constitution, publish a newsletter and find a meeting site, all to be done by September. The first Society meeting took place at the Kitchener Public Library and was attended by 17 amateur orchid growers.
We first exhibited that year at the Niagara show and had our own first show on April 25, 26 1986 at the Stone Road Mall in Guelph. At the end of that first year our membership had reached 54. In the following year we became an AOS affiliated society and achieved a membership of 98.

I received the samples of this product in one of the brochures. This lip balm is wonderful. I tried this one and the "blush" shade and they are both beautiful. This poppy is a beatiful sheer red color. It gives the lips that cherry popsicle stained look. The balm is also very moisturizing.
Ok first off this color is awful instead of calling it poppy it should be called clown coral lol....this so called balm is not even moisturizing at all imo..
MK dropped the ball on this new product!! Thank god for samples cuz I would never buy this!

While spring sprung early in 2012, Mother Nature took her time this year. Cold, wet spring weather throughout much of the Mid-Atlantic growing region delayed planting and slowed early plant growth by up to two weeks.
"That will impact the harvest slightly for early sweet corn and melons (in Delaware), putting them seven to 10 days later than last year," said Delaware Secretary of Agriculture Ed Kee. "Aside from the early delay, we're not anticipating any significant weather problems or anything abnormal.
"Delaware is expecting a very strong season."
It's the same story in Maryland, which is also hampered by a slow start, according to Mark Powell, chief of marketing and agribusiness development for the Maryland Department of Agriculture.
For example, he said as of May 12, sweet corn was 38% planted, compared to 53% planted a year ago. Average is 45%.
"The good news is that we've escaped any significant frost damage on peaches and apples, despite a cold snap (in mid-May) that took temperatures down into the 30s," Powell said.
"Farmers are optimistic this year, as the local deal is really driving up demand for their crops. God willing and good weather, we are expecting a great year with wonderful market opportunities."
Elsewhere around the region, growers said forecasted days in the 80s and nights in the 60s would be just what crops need.
Late vegetables
Calvert Cullen, president of Northampton Growers Produce Sales Inc., Cheriton, Va., said his crops — grown throughout the Mid-Atlantic region — are about one week to 10 days late.
Cabbage was expected to arrive the first of June, followed by green beans and squash June 8-10 and cucumbers by June 20-25, he said.
"As long as we get some warm weather, hopefully everything will be progressing like normal," Cullen said. "Right now everything looks great."
Cool spring weather has caused the Virginia tomato and potato deals to start one week to 10 days later than usual, but "all the crops look really good," said Butch Nottingham, regional market development manager for the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Richmond.
Potatoes should start shipping the week of June 17, and tomatoes will ship around July 1, Nottingham said.
Cheriton, Va.-based C&E Farms was planning to run green beans out of North Carolina in the first week of June, he said.
Bob Von Rohr, director of marketing and customer relations at Sunny Valley International, Glassboro, N.J., agrees that everything is pretty much normal there.

For these more intimate occasions, they cull from their large fleet of vehicles, which includes a stretch limo, a super-stretch Hummer, 12-passenger vans, 25-passenger mini buses, and 56-passenger motor coaches, which are spacious enough to shuttle two rival bare-handed boxing clubs without any skirmishes.
The entire sky along Florida's Space Coast is like one giant movie screen, regularly showing the story of rockets—some manned, some unmanned, others guided entirely by dreams.

The Blue Dolphin, the company's 44-foot USCG-certified pontoon river boat, serves as the tour's mode of transportation. Its retractable roof pulls back to reveal unobstructed views of the sky above for all of its 49 passengers.
Captains Mark and Michele Anderson, who are both certified by the U.S. Coast Guard, have plenty to explore even when rockets aren't taking flight. Specialty tours are available at an additional cost. During the holidays, they show passengers the lights and decorations along residential canals in Sykes Creek, handing out some egg nog or hot cocoa to complete the experience. The Banana River Lagoon Tour, meanwhile, remains a daily feature. For two hours, the boat tours the Banana River and floats into the habitats of the area's many birds, dolphins, manatees, and gators.
RVs, SUVs, trucks, and sedans—no detailing job is too big or small for Maximum On-Site Detailing LLC's mobile detailers. They bring the auto spa to customers' homes and offices, offering full-service interior and exterior detailing. The crew also specializes in keeping boats shiny inside and out.
All Tune and Lube's ASE-certified technicians keep horseless chariots lubed up with fresh oil and ready to face the next road trip. During the 60-minute service, mechanics shake down engines until they give up their used and abused oil, refill them with up to 5 quarts of standard 10W-30 motor oil, and install a new filter to ensure the fluids circulating inside motors stay free of contaminants that could increase automobiles' white-oil cell count. A tire rotation and balance gives wheels a new point of view and facilitates even wear and tear on treads. The technicians also pamper fuel sippers' windshields with a new pair of wipers, which can help drivers see clearly while driving through rain, sleet, or snowmen. Finally, they'll perform a vehicle-maintenance inspection, examining filters, analyzing brakes, running a quick safety check, and topping off fluids.

I know, finally! Our yard has taken over a year to complete. We went from a yard with three large yuccas, three large pine trees, and an unsafe deck to a peaceful retreat. There was a lot of clearing to do. We actually cleared the yard completely so we would have a blank slate. It's not a big yard, but it is all we have, so we have tried to make the best of it. Like most gardens, it will always be a work in progress, but we are very happy with what we have accomplished. Follow the link below to see the results. |

Ooo! Before and afters! I love them! Very nice, and your grass is to die for! |

Those were huge yuccas! I don't know if I'd have had the heart to cut them down. Though in CA you probably see them everywhere. I love the "flowerbed" idea. Nice yard. |

I like Before & Afters too! Nice transformation, Sher! Sometimes you just need to start over fresh. It looks great! We did the same with our yards. It took a long time as well. I now wish we had used some type of permanent divider between sod & gardens though, like you have. One piece of advice (well, two, maybe) ~watch for grass invaders (weed seed blows in) & fix sprinklers right away if broken or spraying weirdly. Our sod doesn't look as great as in the beginning because of these 2 things. That's my hubby's problem, though, as I'm in charge of the gardens! LOL The "flowerbeds" are cute! ~Rosemarie |
flowergirl - The grass is one of the highlights for all of us. No more dirt being tracked into the house! Our dog, Niki, seemed to enjoy it the most. LOL My husband and I put the sod down on a 100+ degree day, so we were glad it survived. The brown spots you see in the picture are even filling in. Kal - The yuccas had to go. The two next to the fence were lifting the fence, and the other was right next to the foundation of the house. The neighbors on all three sides were cheering during the removal. Sher |
Rosemarie - I tried to reply to your post earlier, but it didn't go through so far. You gave great advice! We were careful about placement of the new sprinkler system. So far, it is working great. Every spot gets watered very well. Our biggest challenge, as far as weeds, is nutgrass. We have been diligent in spraying it both while the area was just dirt and now. It is something I know we will probably always fight, but we have managed to thin it out a lot. I know what you mean about the garden being yours. My husband mows the lawn, but the rest is up to me. That's fine with me. I probably enjoy it the most anyway. I think when you do all the planning and planting, it makes you appreciate it more. Sher |
- Posted by RosemarieRo z11/24 So Calif (My Page) on Mon, Oct 10, 05 at 17:15
Sher, We put down about 1000 sf sod in the back yard. Got a dog (a surprise to me) making spots on the grass & a couple yrs down the road, half the sprinkler system wasn't working any more. Thought we'd use a hose sprinkler (though us humans are not so good at regular timed waterings~LOL). I think it's Bermuda grass that's invaded half of it. Sigh! We can still keep it green, it just isn't the tall Fescue we started with throughout. We made an agreement too...me in charge of garden & him the lawn. Works well for us! Enjoy your new patio & surroundings in peace! |

The Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) is the authority of enforcing land reform programs in Philippine. The prime target of forming DAR is to promote technology advancement in agriculture and provide social justice to the agricultural workers in Philippine.
After the formation of Land Authority in 1963, the land reform in Philippine started to take place. The newly found agency was necessitated to implement some policies, which were necessary to accomplish the common objectives of land reform program.
Philippine agrarian reform law was comprised of several sections. Some of them are as follows:

HILLSVILLE –– Pulaski County has evidently been working hard on its free throw defense.
The Cougars took advantage of a chilly night at the foul line by the Cavaliers and held off a second-half rally to escape with a 48-41 nondistrict win Monday night.
Carroll County hit just 6-of-19 from the stripe, or 31.6 percent, in falling to 4-5 on the year. The Cougars crept over the .500 mark with the win, improving to 5-4.
INDEPENDENCE — Grayson County will use $150,000 from its Community Development Fund to pay back money to the Virginia Tobacco Commission owed by Universal Food and Beverage Co.
The company owned a water bottling plant in Independence before filing for bankruptcy about three years ago.
Grayson National Bank purchased the plant, located off U.S. 21, following a public auction in November.
Grayson is obligated to repay the money after Universal broke promises made in a performance agreement, which included creating hundreds of jobs.
HILLSVILLE — Prosecutors reached an agreement with a former executive director accused of embezzling from the Carroll County Chamber of Commerce.
During a court appearance Tuesday in Carroll Circuit Court, Roger Thomas Hawthorne, 56, of Hillsville, pleaded guilty to a single count of petit larceny and repaid $20,000 in restitution.
Hawthorne originally was charged with a felony count of embezzlement, but the Commonwealth motioned to have that amended to a misdemeanor charge.
HILLSVILLE — As revenue from other kinds of taxes fall due to the weak economy, the Carroll County supervisors have voted to study twice-a-year tax collection.
Supervisor Tom Littrell brought up the suggestion at the county board's Dec. 8 meeting.
What affects the county's cash flow? One thing is that real estate taxes mostly come in once a year, in November and December, after tax tickets go out in October, he said.
Littrell noted that tourism revenue appears to be down.
GRUNDY –– Carroll County had four wrestlers reach the championship finals and placed ninth out of 36 teams at the prestigious 29th annual Agie Skeens Memorial Tournament Dec. 29-30 at Riverview Middle School.
Drew McCraw finished the event 4-0 and won the individual championship in the 275-pound weight class. McCraw drew a first-round bye and followed up with two pins, sticking Michael LaPrade of Turner Ashby in 1 minute, 34 seconds, then pinning Alleghany's Martin Garcia 46 seconds into the championship quarterfinals.
GRUNDY –– Carroll County rallied from an eight-point deficit in the final four minutes to overtake Grundy 70-65 in a Southwest District boys' game Saturday afternoon.
Grundy's Jordan Ellis sank two foul shots for a 61-53 Golden Wave lead before James Lanning's 3-pointer sparked a 17-4 Cavalier run to the final horn.
Tyler Reavis' layup gave Carroll County the lead for good, 64-62, with 1:15 to play. Reavis led all scorers with 25 points, Lucas Marshall scored a career-high 14 and Lanning chipped in 12.
HILLSVILLE — By going for federal stimulus package money, the Carroll School Board may have found a way to pay for phase three of its facilities improvement program.
The improvements could include a new high school in the Woodlawn area, and renovations to Carroll Intermediate School and the current high school.
INDEPENDENCE — Few updates were given during another court appearance of a man facing 16 charges in connection with three shooting deaths at a Christmas tree farm in Grayson County last January.
Frederick Hammer — along with his four attorneys — appeared in Grayson Circuit Court last Friday to update Judge Brett Geisler on their investigation.
If the much-ballyhooed economic stimulus package from the federal government can create jobs, it's hard to imagine a place where that money could be better spent than the Twin Counties.
The manufacturing job base was shrinking even before the recession struck the nation as a whole. Fewer jobs means less revenue for local governments, and less revenue means less money in the coffers for projects to benefit the area.
Make peace with greetings
In the Jan. 5 edition of the Gazette, I counted seven Readers' Hotline calls regarding a previous caller's thoughts that "Happy Holidays" should be used instead of "Merry Christmas."
Frankly, I don't care which one a person uses, since judging someone solely on the basis of a term they use or don't use is akin to judging an entire steak based on one bite.

"This recipe is EXACTLY was I was looking for. I basically wanted this flavoring for my beef...which we grilled and put over basmati rice and added a little Tzatziki sauce over the meet. This marinade is absolutely delicious and blended so well with the tzatziki. My husband asked me to NOT LOSE this recipe. Thanks so much for posting this."
"I love this recipe because not only is it quick/easy to make, its got so much flavor. Its absolutely delicious. I think the cream sauce is a must for this. I did add just a little worsceshire to my meat. This will definitely be a repeat meal for my house!!!"
"This is my most favorite thing to eat and its so easy to make. I think I must make this at least 3 times a month. I don't have saffron, but it tastes just as good without it. This is definitely a family favorite in my home!!! Thanks so much for posting this recipe...DEEEEEEEEElicious!"
"Although I don't "marinate" the bird overnight. I use lemon juice rather than quartered lemon. I make my roasted chicken with the same ingredients and it really does turn out delicious and juicy!"
"I love this. I love breakfast casseroles, but for just me and my husband a whole casserole is too much. This is perfect for just the two of us and its SO GOOD!!! Makes a great dinner too."

Yesterday was Star Wars day, just in case you haven't come across the deluge of Star Wars-related Facebook posts and interweb home-made tributes on YouTube.
Honoured by Star Wars fans across the galaxy, May the 4th is a celebration of the franchise's film series, books, video games, toys and culture. Basically everything and anything Star Wars is accepted and celebrated (yes, even Jar Jar Binks).
I spent my May the Fourth geeking out hard at a fan-created/curated event with the 501st Legion Singapore Garrison, Fightsaber SG and a Stormtrooper helmet sculpture exhibit by Flabslab. I even took a selfie with a stormtrooper, which was by far the highlight of my day.
Inspired by the Force shown in so many fellow Star Wars fans from yesterday, I have drafted up my personal picks of the top Star Wars games ever made:
1. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
KOTOR is an action RPG set almost 4000 years before the Galactic Empire. Within this timeframe, Bioware built one of the most epic, engrossing and original stories that felt worthy of the Star Wars name. It also introduced one of the greatest EU characters, HK-47, a murder-droid with a distaste for humanity. The Force is strong with KOTOR.
2. Star Wars: X-wing VS Tie-fighter
Easily one of the most addictive Star Wars games I have ever laid hands on, simply because Star Wars fans get to climb into cockpits for some intense dogfights. At its core, XvT is a single/multi-player space combat sim, and players get to choose from one of nine different starcrafts. Dogfights in space? Enough said.
3. Star Wars: Rogue Squadron
Based from the novel and comic book series of the same name, gamers take on the role of Luke Skywalker in battles across extensive 3D worlds on planetary surfaces (no free-roaming space battles here, sorry). Explore the hot sands of Tatooine, the oceans of the Mon Calamari (It's a trap!) and the spice mines of Kessel.
More after the break...
4. Star Wars: Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast
A standout in the Star Wars action-game genre, kick ass as Kyle Katarn who is essentially Han Solo with Jedi powers (even if you don't start out as a Jedi).
5. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed
One, Galen Marek (Starkiller) is one hell of a bad-ass character. Two, you get to rip down a Star Destroyer using only the Force. It's basically Jedi Knight gone Dark Side. Also you get to force throw wookies on Kashyyyk (sorry Chewie).
6. Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles
Last but not least, a game that didn't do great in reviews but is still my personal favourite that holds some of my fondest childhood memories, Jedi Power Battles is a two-player game where teamwork and communication is key to avoid screen dragging your friend into a pit.
That said, Steam is having a 66% discount (a cheeky reference to Order 66?) on Star Wars games. Offer ends Monday 10am Pacific time. Happy Star Wars day and May the Fourth be with you!

text: I love thecombination of houndstooth and vibrant colors, especially cobalt blue and red! I decided to incorporate those two colors into the look by choosing my favorite velvet skinny jeans by Express and my red sparkled shoes by BCBGeneration. To add a more dramatic look, I chose to also pair my Salvatore Ferragamosunglasses and areddish-pinkish color on the lips. Houndstooth is just such a versatile pattern because it has two basic "colors" , which allow you to have fun and experiment!

I received this as a sample from Sephora and was so excited to try it on. However, now that I have it on I cannot wait for it to wear off!
This scent should really be re-named "For Him" because it reminds me more of a men's fragrance than anything else. Imagine a mix between furniture polish, the woods and musk. Gross. Just gross.
I love NR in edp form. It is a rosier and a less musky version of the edt.
Edt is also nice but this gives me a terrible headache.
Whilst the edt is dark and mysterious, edp is bright and innocent.
I am surprised by how the differences between the two are subtle yet enough to make that difference!
The beauty of this scent is that it is incredibly versatile. It can be worn all year round though i find this fragrance to be a somewhat cold for me for the winter and therefore prefer warmer fragrances for then.
The NR oil smelt like a completely different fragrance and reminded me of a sporty male fragrance that has been watered down. This version also induced headaches.
7 out of 7 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I like the edp much better than the edt. I do like both. The edp seems to work better with my chemistry. I can detect actual Rose and a sweeter musk.. I had a hard time detecting anything but a big floral mess with the edt.. This is a scent that will work great in the Spring and Summer months.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Outstanding feminine muskiness. To me it screams sexy.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Price:5 (expensive) Packaging: 4 (good) Repurchase: YES
Its only been recently that I've started to really fall for "heavy" scents like NR EDP. When I was younger, I had heard about NR and wanted to sample it. At the time I was absolutely horrified that anyone would ever wear something like this; I thought it smelled like cologne. I quickly dismissed it and started my obsession with florals.
Only about a year ago, I was looking for a heavy scent similar to Calvin Klein's Euphoria. This scent is in no way like Euphoria (I'm not exactly sure how to describe it), but it is similar in the way that its not as simple as some florals. From that shopping spree, I bought Prada's Eau Tendre which is also deeper and more complex. After a year or so, during Christmas, I started to look for another "deep/heavy" scent, and stumbled upon NR EDP and EDT. This time I tested on my skin, and I fell in love with NR EDP.
I find that NR EDP is a lot softer than EDT. EDP seems to slowly unfold itself and melds with my skin chemistry to make the most beautiful scent EVER. I think at first spritz, it is a little heavy (maybe because of the chypre?), but as time goes on, it fades and the florals begin to blossom. EDT has a bit more sharpness to it, so I wasn't really interested. This scent is absolutely beautiful, sexy, feminine, sophisticated and mature! Some people may find this scent a little too mature or as some people would call it "granny-like" (to me its not granny like at all!) Some people might not enjoy the scent because it is a bit on the mature side.
I've only been using it for a few weeks or so, but I love it for both day and night. For scents like these I tend to use them for nighttime events, but with NR EDP I think it is versatile enough for both.
As for staying power on my skin, it lasts a good 6-10 hours. The packaging is pretty pink which fits the scent to a T, its actually quite heavy. I think (like another reviewer has said) the only problem with packaging is being unable to see how much is remaining in the bottle. Although I bought mine on eBay, NR EDP is quite expensive. From what I remember, 1.7oz was $108+tax CAD, but I'd definitely repurchase!
I will update if the scent starts to change or anything else. =)

It's feminine and most of all, an actual, new fragrance.
It's been quite some time we haven't seen a large scale brand launch a perfume that's not too sweet or too powdery or too ladylike.
This is very very feminine, sensual, delicate and intense frangrance, all in the right proportion.
It's not sexy-vulgar or sweety-pinky-girlly.
I got compliments EVERY SINGLE TIME i weart it - both from men and women.
I've been searching for new fragrances to vary, but haven't found nothing that pleases me as much as this one. I just hope it doens't get so much popularity to the point i smell it everywhere :P
p.s.: only downside - you can't see how much is left on the bottle.

Reading the reviews, I wonder if I have the same fragrance as the other reviewers. Although I get some musk, overall this scent is pretty generic. It feels mostly sort of powdery sweet to me, like baby powder with more floral (and apparently some musk).
It really reminds me of one of those philosophy fragrances... amazing grace, I think.
Thankfully I'm only working with a sample, because I would not purchase this. It feels totally inappropriate for my personality and style, and reminds me of fragrances older women wear.
Having said all this, it is nice and pleasant, and has staying power, it's just an acquired taste.
This one is like the one I 've had to wander the desert for ages to find. Now that we are together, all I have to say about this is that you can never know when you are going to run out because the pretty pink bottle doesn't let you see what's inside. So, one morning you get up and a few weak spritzes later it is "nooooooooooo not today" gone. Just like that...
I just got this yesterday, the EDP version after long months of trying between EDT and EDP miniature versions. Love how the scent evolves and develops. Throughout the day, you can still smell on this on you, and for me, this is a bonus point in my books. I especially love the middle notes best. The smell may be quite strong, so a little really goes a long way, but by far one of the best perfumes I bought so far. It reflects a different cycle in my life as I was a huge Dior J'adore fan previously.

Jennifer Westfeldt is some kind of voodoo witch doctor sorcerer. Not only has she captured the heart of Jon Hamm, but she has also written and directed a romantic comedy with an ensemble cast and, you guys, you're not going to slit your wrists while watching it. "Friends With Kids" comes out March 9 and stars Jennifer, her manpiece, Kristen Wiig (!), Maya Rudolph (!), Chris O'Dowd (!!!!!), Adam Scott (!), and Edward Burns (!!!!!). That's like half of the "Bridesmaids" crew, which is why it actually looks funny. Goddamn, woman. How did you keep Katharine Heigl from being cast in this? Burning crosses and heads on stakes?

Our favorite devices require a constant power source to keep on going and the K-TOR Pocket Socket 2 looks to transform a little bit of human energy into battery power. The K-TOR Pocket Socket 2 works using a simple crank system that turns a monotonous motion into enough energy to power the built-in 120 volt outlet.
Although perfect for day trips or vacations off the map, the K-TOR Pocket Socket 2 is also a fantastic eco energy alternative for those who live in rural parts of the world without a dependable source of energy. Simple wind the K-TOR Pocket Socket 2 for a while to obtain an instant boost of sustainable energy.
Other devices on the market harness solar power—which is fantastic—but a lack of sunlight can render them useless. As such, the K-TOR Pocket Socket 2 is a great alternative or companion to other devices on the market.

The other day I went out to the garden and found that Qween of Sweeden had a very light sport. The whole cane was blooming a light yellowish orange with a touch of pink. The normal blooms are a blush to medium pink. Now the question arises what do I do with it. Its still under pattent (2004). |
Follow-Up Postings:
It would be so exciting to find a sport in my garden, so I hate to put a damper on your enthusiasm, but that might not be a true sport. My Queen of Sweden almost always puts out a pastel bloom that is closer to the color of your lighter one. I don't remember my Queen ever blooming as pink as your pinker picture. I also have some other roses that naturally lose more and more color the hotter the summer gets--and by the end of August to early September, that is really g-d awful HOT! Now that I've spoiled the mood (I'm sorry!), I would suggest that if you believe you have something unusual there, take a good clear pic and email it to David Austin. Ask him if he is interested. If he is, he will give you all sorts of instructions how to handle this anomalie. Good luck--let us know if anything more develops out of this. Kate |
- Posted by bellegallica_zone9 (My Page) on Sun, Sep 18, 11 at 16:19
There was another thread about this posted recently. (link below) It may nor may not be a sport, and it may or may not be stable. You should mark the cane in some way so that you can always identify it. Tie a string around it or something. If that cane and branches from it always produce the different color, then it could be a sport. I once had a La France that produced a pure white flower, but all the later flowers on that cane were the normal pink. |
Here is a link that might be useful: A sport in my garden
Only the original Queen of Sweden is patented. Nothing it sports to is covered by that patent. If you wish to propagate the sport, you are legally, morally and ethically free to. You may register and patent it, offering it to nurseries for sale, or directly for sale yourself without any issues as long as the rose is a stable sport and doesn't consistently revert to Queen of Sweden. If a high percentage of the plants demonstrate Queen of Sweden characteristics, making it indistinguishable from the original, you potentially could have issues with the patent holder, not to mention a whole bunch of pissed off customers who bought it thinking it would be the sport instead of the original. The safest thing to do is mark that cane VERY well, VERY visibly, so you don't accidentally cut it off pruning. Let it develop some growth to it so you can remove pieces to try rooting or budding without killing off the sport. It hurts like mad to have only a few inches of a mutation, cut it all off to propagate and have it all fail. Kim |
Thanks kim and Bellegallica! I'm going to try to propagate it this evening then. Its been blooming differantly on this cane (which is a mutated basal shoot) since this spring when it grew from the base. My whole bush blooms the pink shown, but the one cane blooms the light color. But, if what Dublinbay is true then it isnt a sport at all. Lets hope Im not getting my self into a mess of trouble with Mr. David Austin. -Jason |
You're welcome Jason. But, if that cane continuously flowers a different color from the rest of the bush at the same time the other is what you should expect, then I'd say you have a sport. Emailing photos to Austin's can be done, but often if the proclivity to sport is there, he would have likely already seen it with all the thousands of plants of their varieties they've raised or had raised. Whether he's interested in it or not doesn't mean it might not be worth anything nor that others wouldn't possibly enjoy it. Playgirl sported to several lighter colors and Sequoia wasn't interested in them, yet they continue in commerce with others today. Scentimental mutated to a solid red/pink without stripes. Week's wasn't interested, but that doesn't mean it wasn't interesting or worthwhile, just that it didn't fit in with their plans for roses to be introduced. Good luck propagating it. I hope it proves stable for you. It's irritating getting plants generated only to have them revert to the original! LOL! Been there. Kim |
I can't wait to see if it roots as the sport! I have it rooting right now. I also hope David Austin finds it attractive enough. That would be a kicker! -Jason |

– Hotel Silken Berlaymont,
– Boulevard du Charlemagne 11-19, 1000 Brussels

Should Europeans continue to support renewable energy? Is there a trade off between clean energy and competitiveness, or is this a false debate? Who benefits from weaker climate and energy goals – and will they bring down our energy bills?
The CEOs of Acciona Energia, Alstom, Enercon, ERG Renew, RES and Vestas – companies that represent hundreds of thousands of jobs and many billions of euros of investment – will be coming to Brussels on 12 February to call for a strong 2030 climate and energy framework with an ambitious renewable energy target including binding country targets. They are part of a group of 92 companies and organisations which have signed a business statement calling for such a framework and targets. Please join them for an open discussion on Europe's energy future at the Hotel Silken Berlaymont on 12 February at 10:30.

Leg vein problems can range from clusters of thread-like spider veins, to knots of ropey varicose veins, and to non-healing leg ulcers. Symptoms include tired legs, pain, and sensations of throbbing, aching, burning, cramping and itching. At Vein Centers of Midwest Heart Specialists our experienced, highly skilled staff is equipped with the latest technology to provide advanced, minimally invasive treatment methods. Patients can expect excellent results with minimal discomfort and recovery time.
Think of the venous system in your legs as a pipeline with many internal valves that open and close to keep blood flowing steadily toward your heart. When the valves fail to work properly, blood flow becomes sluggish, and pressure builds against the walls of the veins, causing them to bulge. Because spider veins and varicose veins near the skin can stem from abnormalities in the leg veins that are not readily visible to the eye, we use ultrasound imaging. If appropriate, we treat both problem areas. We erase the unattractive and sometimes painful surface veins. We also seal off the portions of the "feeder veins" where the valves have weakened or stopped working altogether to reduce the likelihood of reoccurrence. For more information or to make an appointment, call us at 630-281-2670.

By now we all know the dangers of eating too much and exercising too little: heart disease, stroke, diabetes, etc. But even in a society as obsessed with slimness as ours, most of us would rather have a root canal than hit the gym. Well, couch potatoes, take heart! Experts now say that effective exercise can be incorporated into daily life so easily, even the most exercise-phobic among us can shape up.
"The recommendations for physical activity have changed drastically. They make it easier for the general public to achieve the correct levels of exercise because it includes such everyday activities as cleaning house and walking," says Regina L. Tan, DVM, MS, a CDC officer at the Georgia Division of Public Health. After the guidelines were changed from "20 minutes of vigorous activity 3 days per week" to "30 minutes of moderate activity 5 or more days per week," a new questionnaire for assessing activity levels was devised, based on those changes. Tan and colleagues set out to determine whether the new questionnaire offered an accurate means of assessing physical activity levels, and whether those levels had increased since the guidelines were revised.

How to recover system from Acronis True Image Home?
I am using Acronis True Image Home 2011 14.0.0 Build 5105. With this software I had created a set of 3 DVDs which are the backup of C Drive (Operating System Drive) and is bootable. It contains other softwares as well.
I want to know the method of recovering the C drive with the help of these 3 DVds in case if I require to do so. Please give step by step guidance. I think any wrong step while recovering will erase the other partitions which are more important than the C drive since you can always format "C" drive and re-install but you cannot recover the contents of other partitions if they get deleted because of any wrong step. Therefore the Recovery becomes critical. Going through the PDF help file - I could not understand the recovery procedure. Therefore any elaborate step by step help would be most welcome. Thanks in advance. akbagaria |

Hi there
if its bootable then boot the first disk of the set and follow the instructions. I prefer to make a USB bootable stick -- boot from that and then it will prompt me for the location of the backup files which could be on another USB drive or another hard disk drive or partition; If you have the backup set on another partition it should take at the MOST around 15 - 20 mins to restore your OS. The trouble with DVD's is you have to find them, wait until prompted to swap media and there is always the chance that a DVD could become defective. When you make system backups always have TWO in case you get some uncorrectable error on one. The chances of TWO devices having an error at the same time are virtually negligible. Cheers jimbo |

Mr Jimbo45 - thanks for your suggestion. I will take the use of Pen drive in future and in case of using DVD - I will make two sets. I can also backup in the unused partition of my drive and burn it later on if required.
Thanks once again akbagaria |

But what is the Muslim Brotherhood, and why does it poses a threat to the West? Let us put the Muslim Brotherhood in historical context, limited though it must be.
In 1744, Muhammad ibn Saud was the ruler of Diriyah in
At the same time, Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahhab had designs for returning the
When Saud realized that an alliance with Wahhab could achieve his goal of unification by legitimizing his cause as a jihad, or holy war for religious purposes, the two men made a political-religious pact which established the first Saudi state. In exchange for protection and freedom to spread the ferocious ancient social code of the Prophet, Wahhab gave Saud the legitimate justification he required for a holy war.
Over time, a group called the Ikhwan gradually emerged, its identity based on literal interpretations of the Koran as taught by Wahhab. Eventually the Ikhwan demanded that its followers live according to the strictest definitions of Islam as practiced in the 7th century.
Being comprised mostly of uneducated, poor desert dwellers living in a savage climate and without comprehensive knowledge of Islam, the Bedouin tribes began to exhibit a fanaticism about their newfound religion as it applied to their daily lives.
In the early part of the 20th century, one zealous follower of Wahhabi doctrines was Muhammad Rashid Rida, who partnered with Muhammad Abduh, his mentor, to initiate Islamic reforms in
Not only did Rida fiercely defend the tenets of Wahhabism, he also had intense admiration for the militaristic heritage of Islam.
By 1928, four years after the collapse of the Ottoman caliphate, one of Rida's students, Hasa al-Banna, began calling for a revival of Islamic fundamentalism in
The group was called Ikhwan al-Muslimun. We know it today as the Muslim Brotherhood.
Using the life of the Prophet Muhammad as their historical template, the Muslim Brotherhood adopted a creed which states, "God is our objective; the Quran is our constitution; the Prophet is our leader; struggle is our way; and death for the sake of God is the highest of our aspirations."
By the 1960s, a prolific philosopher and writer named Sayyid (which means "Chief" in Arabic) Qutb became the most important figure in the Muslim Brotherhood. Though Qutb was eventually executed by
Qutb was vehemently against Western values after living in the
Through the beliefs of Sayyid Qutb, the concept of Islam as a "religion of peace" evolved. For most of us, the idea of "religion of peace" means something entirely different than Qutb's interpretation.
Qutb believed that a clash of civilizations would occur between the West and Islam and that ultimately Islam would prevail. According to Qutb, when Islam becomes the dominant force in the world, "peace" will be the result. When Islam is in control, the world will be at peace, thus Islam is the religion of peace.
With the fall of Mohammar Qaddaffi and Hosni Mubarak, the Obama administration proudly proclaimed the dawn of a new day of democracy in the
More recently, Hillary Clinton very publicly claimed to have brokered a truce between Hamas and
While establishing the deal however,
Time and again we have been told that the Muslim Brotherhood has become a "moderate" organization as it continues to follow the creed established in the middle of the last century: "struggle is our way; and death for the sake of God is the highest of our aspirations."

9489 Endor Battle Pack
Posted by Huw,Continuing with my mini-reviews of the new Star Wars sets, it's time now to look at the least exciting of them, the Endor battle pack.
The set consists of two rebel troopers, one of whom has a new torso print, two imperial troopers (which you'll recall have the new printed heads), a bit of tree and a speeder bike.
I say it's the least exciting because the tree is unremarkable and the speeder is virtually identical to that in last year's 7956 Ewok Attack.
The minifigs are OK but not a patch on the elite clone troopers in the other battle pack. However there is good variety, each one being different, and if you can afford 10 or so of these packs you'll be able to put together a pretty good Endor battle scene.
This is not an essential purchase like many of the other new SW sets and given it's currently priced at £13 (it'll probably be $13 in the USA), this is definitely one to wait for until it plummets in price at Amazon or can be had in a 3-for-2 offer somewhere.

My review is here : http://www.brickset.com/reviews/?ID=42406
I deleted my previous comment because I found that if I clicked on the word review I found all of the previous ones, thanks!
um wow ok i dont know what to think of this it looks like one of the guys is turning into a monkey though.
"Not an essential purchase"? I disagree, sir. I hold Endor related sets as a higher priority than any other Star Wars, followed closely by Hoth. After that, any else that looks interesting.
Also, I notice that they have reverted to the speeder bikes which can only hold one minifig. I'm glad they did that, the other ones look kind of awkward.
It's a Battle Pack, so I'll get it.
One of the rebel troopers has an indiana jones head..
I was disapointed how they made just one battlepack with opposing sides. I wish they made rebel cammando battlepack and a Scoutrooper battlepack.
Meh, not to bad. I just wish they hadn't changed the stormtrooper torso print. This means they will stand out from the other troopers...
LEGO should really redesign the Imperial Scout Trooper's torso, give it the back printing, and give it the proper leg printing to match Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi.
The speeder bike in this set is a massive improvement over the one included in the ewok set from last year. The reason for this is that the new speeder bike has a smooth domed piece underneath its front half meaning you can push it along the ground without it getting stuck. I also think the mini figs in this set are awesome
11.99 so 12 dollars in the US(USD)
I like that the scout trooper has the right gun now, rather than the short blaster they used to always give him. The new torso print is great on the rebel but I wish the second rebel didn't have creepy clone wars lines on his face

122 Sir Geoffrey Whiskard, U.K. High Commissioner to Australia, to U.K. Dominions Office
Cablegram 135 (paraphrase) CANBERRA, 18 July 1939
My telegram No. 94 of 10th May. [1] Reports appearing in the press state that owing to disturbed relations between the United Kingdom and Japan Australian Government do not propose to proceed for the present with the establishment of a Legation at Tokio.
I made informal enquiries as to the authenticity of these reports and I was informed that Commonwealth Government have not as yet definitely decided when they will make an approach to you regarding proposed establishment of Legations but that they are in agreement with the United Kingdom Government's view that it would be more 'symbolic' if in the first instance they only proceeded with establishment of Legation at Washington.
