More than 200 years of Columbia County's past took 13 years for historian Barbara Seaborn to compile into a literary work.
The New England native spent more than the past decade researching and writing As Long as the Rivers Run: Highlights from Columbia County's Past. The book, which she finished two years ago, was recently published and copies arrived this past week.
People can help fund a cure for breast cancer Monday simply by getting a haircut at an Evans salon.
Retreat Spa & Salon, 4246 Washington Road, will hold the fifth annual Cut for a Cure from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. All proceeds benefit the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
The event doubles as a fifth anniversary for Retreat Spa & Salon.
"It's just giving back to the community," said salon customer service manager Ashlee Sullivan. "And there's so many people affected by breast cancer."
Country music and family fun marked the grand opening of a new Evans park.

Hundreds gathered at Evans Town Center Park on Saturday to enjoy the day's festivities and check out the park's features, which include picnic pavilions, a large gazebo, a splash pad and a dog park.
"This belongs to the people of Columbia County," said Commission Chairman Ron Cross at the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
A new park in the heart of Evans opens Saturday with music, games and family activities.
Evans Town Center Park officially opens at 2 p.m., followed by a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 3 p.m. and music starting at about 4 p.m.
The event will feature music from country and rock artists Rick Monroe, Gary Ray, SwampDaWamp and Kara Clark through 9 p.m.Activities include pony rides, a petting zoo, a rock-climbing wall, a mechanical bull, an inflatable play area and face painting. Food vendors will also be on site.
Plans to bring an assisted living facility to Evans-to-Locks Road moved forward Thursday as Columbia County planning commissioners voted in favor of the rezoning.The proposed 65,000-square-foot building would take up 8 acres near the Jones Creek subdivision. Consisting of 75 units, the facility would also offer memory care services.Attorney Bill Trotter, who represented the owner at the meeting, made clear that the proposed two-story facility is not a nursing home.
Mary Combs remembers every detail of her high school class ring.
The 1985 Waynesboro High School ring was adorned with an orange topaz birthstone, revealing the name Mary on one side and the image of a cross on the other.
Her full maiden name, Hazel Mary Smith, was etched on the band's interior.
The ring, though, had gone missing from the Matthews, Ga., resident 16 years ago.
After speaking with a man over the phone who claimed to have a ring matching her description, it didn't take long for Combs to put two and two together.
There's one moment that Greenbrier High School senior Reyna Walker won't forget as she was named homecoming queen Friday in front of a packed stadium.
"Walking with my dad," the 17-year-old said after being crowned. "It was just really fun walking with him."
Walker's father, Benjamin Walker, escorted his daughter as she stood on the school's football field in a long, white dress.
Walker said she was shocked to win and that it felt "really awesome" that her fellow students bestowed the honor of homecoming queen upon her.
Starting Saturday, groups of people will go door to door in Columbia County neighborhoods collecting edible items, but they aren't seeking Halloween candy.
Residents wishing to participate in the 17th annual It's Spooky to be Hungry food drive will need to have nonperishable food donations ready between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. Saturday.
A small number of subdivisions will participate on Oct. 29, said It's Spooky to be Hungry Coordinator Millie Robinson.

Years ago, a Waynesboro High School class ring ended up in the backseat of a vehicle.
Troy Pinson's father stumbled upon the silver 1985 class ring about five years ago when he was vacuuming a used vehicle he had recently purchased.
"He was cleaning it out one day, and he found a ring," said Pinson, who works at Quad Graphics Inc. in Evans.
Pinson has taken on the task of finding the ring's rightful owner.
In Richard Harmon's opinion, Columbia County is an ideal location for retirees to relocate.
The county Development Services director wants to see if others agree by offering a survey on the county's Web site. It is aimed particularly at people nearing retirement age and military members at Fort Gordon.
"Those folks typically don't bring crime with them," Harmon said. "They don't bring children, which impacts the school system. But they do bring tax dollars and expendable income."

Latest GOP setback: Florida's Senator Martinez to retire early
Six other Republican senators have announced they'll retire. The exits are a sign the GOP sees itself in 'back seat' for years, say analysts.
Scott Audette/Reuters
In a move long rumored and often denied, Sen. Mel Martinez (R) of Florida announced on Friday his early retirement from the US Senate, effective as soon as he can be replaced.
The resignation comes at a tough time for his Senate GOP colleagues. With the election of Sen. Al Franken (D) of Minnesota, they fell below the 41 votes needed to sustain a filibuster for the first time since 1977.
With the loss of the filibuster, the most powerful weapon of a Senate minority, "Republicans realized that they were in the back seat in the Senate – and would be in a back seat in the federal government for years to come," says Larry Sabato, a political scientist at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville.

Emissary of the League
A few points to make/suggest. This thread's hypothesis about Katarina's involvement is proven from this new JoJ's photo. I believe this could've been a transportation of Jarvan. According to the article, Ivory Ward Market is an extremely elite place making it easy to do such things. Maybe Talon got wind of this and asked Garen to show up and help reclaim him Jarvan and uncover the whereabouts of DuCouteau? Also, Vexus Nirac is bothering me. I figured it for an Anagram, only came up with Riven (AXCUS left over) so far, so maybe I can get some help? (It could be nothing.)
I'm betting on Talon for the dagger. I mean come on, it doesn't have Kat's S on it, and Talon has a practical love affair with throwing daggers. He was involved.
I don't believe the dagger was Katarina's. Compared to the few threads referencing Opal Market to Ivory Ward, and the idea behind Talon desiring a meeting place, I figure that one of Swain's lackies or something along those lines decoded the note (It was in the JoJ for all to see). Then an ambush was set for Talon, since obviously he would be there. Although the idea of Quarter to Clutter being Jarvan's movements to Kat is rather interesting. Swain is in control I believe, and in control of Jarvan's momvents. Uhh one thing is that I think most people agree Du Couteau is enemies with Swain / The Black Rose, which is something that confuses me for Swain giving Jarvan to Kat. Unless of course it was part of the plan. We know Du Couteau wished his daughters, more than likely, to join the Black Rose, but it's been my opinion that they would be placed in the Black Rose as spies for Du Couteau to keep a watch on the Black Rose while he does his own movements. Kat and Cass could be doing a fantastic acting job of pretending they don't know what's really going on, and are just following the orders of Swain / LeBlanc, earning them a great deal of trust. If Katarina is put in control of Jarvan, while her father is connected to Talon, and blah blah. Then I expect a break-out by Katarina for Jarvan, or the sneaking of Demacian forces into Noxus to rescue the prince in the near future. It makes sense in my head, i know i left out some connecting details but if you can put them together it more-less makes sense.
Doctor Awesome
Okay, clearly I should visit this forum more often because you guys are way ahead. Where did the theory that LeBlanc disguised herself as Jarvan come from?

Is there a mathematical relationship between saccharification time and Degrees Lintner? In other words if a grain analysis sheet states the saccharification time as 20 minutes what does that relate to in degrees Lintner?
I'd imagine as a general rule that a higher Lintner value woul mean a shorter conversion time, since higher Lintner values indicate more enzymes (afaik). I'm curious, though, why do you ask?
Take the Weyermann Diastatic Barley Malt Analysis sheet - 300WK = (300 + 16) / 3.5 = 90.3 Lintner On that same spec sheet it says 'Replaces all or portion of Pale Ale or Pilsner malt'. Now take the Weyermann Pale Ale Malt Analysis sheet - ?WK = ?Lintner It's not specified. So how can you compare the Diastatic Barley Malt with the Pale Ale Malt? You might look at an American Malt with the same name, find that it has a diastatic power of 85 Lintner and use that value for the Weyermann, the alternative is the sac. time, but that doesn't lend itself to determining if you have enough DP available to convert your mash. Reasons to know the WK/Lintner values: 1.) For apples to apples comparison of grains. 2.) To determine if a malt is self converting Lintner >= 35. 3.) An estimate of the DP power available to convert your mash. Reasons to relate Sac. Time to WK/Lintner: 1.) WK/Lintner is not always specified on the Malt Analysis Sheet.
I can certainly do that. I thought I may be missing something that would allow me to calculate it from the information given.
Well, the site says that it can be used as 100% of the mash (http://www.weyermann.de/eng/produkte...e=37&sprache=2), so it's definitely self converting. I don't know of any way to determine the DP from the conversion time, though. If I were going to guess I'd say that a similar conversion time == a similar DP.
saccharification time is affected by more than just the diastatic power. And unless you can quantify and account for all the other parameters, a mathematical relationship between the two will be of little use. Kai

There were once four Flying Karamazov Brothers. There are now five. One extra, however, does not add up to a "10" evening by any means. The Brothers K are primarily jugglers and when they are tossing scythes, Indian clubs or lighted torches to each other, they are superb and engrossing. It is only when they open their mouths - and keep them open for more than two hours - that the difficulty arises.
The five take their names from Dostoevsky and his "Brothers Karamazov," but there the association ends. They are neither brothers nor Russian nor does their material reflect the great novelist's. If it had, the jokes might have been better - if blacker.
Paul David Magid (Dmitri), Randy Nelson (Alyosha), Timothy Daniel Furst (Fyodor), Sam Williams (Smerdyakov) and Howard Jay Patterson (Ivan) are sort of intellectual equivalents of the Brothers Marx. As they caper about in a circus atmosphere, outrageous puns and hopelessly corny asides fly among them. One brother offers a pair of torn trousers to another, cautioning: "If Euripides, then Eumenidies." That's not only awful, it's old.
Though the aura of a Three Stooges melee hovers over the goings-on, the dialogue is a trifle hipper. Two brothers, for example, trade lines from Tom Stoppard's "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead" while whipping projectiles between them. Another describes a ukelele as "an exact replica of John Coltrane's saxophone." Mildly amusing at best, although some fans will insist that, for the full effect, you had to be there. I was. It didn't help.
To their credit, the Brothers K never pretend that their absurdities are anything more than they are. If there is less here than meets the eye, it seems to be okay with them - and with a good sector of the preview crowd of which I was part.
The Brothers, in fact, are more an audience show than most Broadway offerings. They ask - and get - enthusiastic audience participation. At one juncture, Patterson called for items to juggle. A roast chicken, ski boot, fencing foil, ripe pineapple, gelatin and a bagful of pot were promptly thrown onstage by the prepared fans. Patterson failed to juggle them successfully and his fate, wildly cheered by most, was a pie in the face. I was heartened for a few moments when, after intermission, the circus-like band onstage played my absolutely all-time favorite classic, "The Teddy Bears' Picnic," but then the sophomoric banter continued as before.
A colleague tells me that the Brothers K were at one time a 45-minute cabaret act and as such were quite good. They might even be a roar on the college circuit. For two hours on Broadway, however, the show might be retitled "Time and Punishment."
The most bizarre help has arrived for our ailing Broadway. It is a juggling show - that's right, kids, jugglers. It is The Flying Karamazov Brothers who flew into the newly refurbished and, more important, reopened Ritz Theater last night, and, so far as I am concerned, need never fly out again.
These five men, who do not fly, are not brothers, and have only a very loose kinship with Dostoievsky, are tremendous, but vaguely indescribable. You have to be there - and you should be there as soon as possible.
The idea of two hours of juggling is not a particularly appealing one - and I must say when I sat down in my seat, my heart was sunk and my spirits were lower.
But what the Karamazovs give us is not juggling - well not precisely juggling. Imagine a mixture of Monty Python, the Marx Brothers, Helzapoppin, and one of those Hungarian troupes of jugglers always to be found discreetly in the left-hand ring of a three ring circus.
Not that these five guys are not terrific jugglers - they really are. But in a vague, existential way, juggling is the least important part of their act. To call the Karamazovs jugglers would be like calling the QE2 a paddle-steamer. There are similarities, but the superficial differences are so vast they become basic.
The curtain goes up on a marching band that, naturally, doesn't march. It looks as though it has been costumed by Sgt. Pepper, although in fact all the attractive costumes, as well as the colorful pavilion-like structure that provides the evening's setting, have been provided by Robert Fletcher.
The band thumps and toots away merrily for a bit - and then we are off and juggling. And laughing. For the essence of the Karamazov performance, its philosophical kernel as it were, is that deft is daft, and deft is funny.
When you see a difficult action - almost any difficult action - exquisitely performed, you instinctively smile. In some obscure way it is funny. The Karamazovs exploit this reaction, with comic routines, wild, seemingly improvised jokes and the endless cult of their own carefully maintained zany personalities.
The juggling itself is real enough. And very original. They juggle with the most unusual objects - meat cleavers, flaming torches, sickles, and even - in a way - cats.
At one moment they challenge the audience to produce any object - there are size and weight limitations - and one of them will juggle with three of them produced by the audience at random.
At the performance I saw the selected objects were a pie, a piece of uncooked liver, and a cream gateau. Whether these were planted I cannot say - do people come to the theater bearing bits of raw liver? - but planted or not, and if pushed, somehow, I suspect not, the results are hilarious and effective.
They equate juggling with music - they even makes tunes out of their flying objects - a couple of them actually managing to play Chopsticks on a xylophone. And they discuss, semi-seriously, whether juggling is an art, a science or a trick.
With the Karamazovs it's a unique entertainment. The show is also the invitation to meet five beguilingly charming people. They cannot possibly be as nice as they seem - even though they come from San Francisco. They don't seem to have a mean bone in their corporate body, and are endlessly agreeable.
The two ringleaders, they are also musicians, seem to be Howard Jay Patterson, a former biologist who does most of the think-talking, and Paul David Magid, who looks like a sad Russian waiter out of a '30s movie, and is probably the maddest of the five.
Sam Williams is chunky, wistful and radiantly leprecaunish, Randy Nelson seems waspish and crazily straight, while Timothy Daniel Furst resembles a discouraged Don Quixote and is the one who specializes in the heterogeneous juggling ingenuity.
For an evening of puns, juggles, loud music and louder people, you cannot do better than flying with the Karamazov Bros. In my humble opinion it's likely to prove the best juggling revue on W. 48th St. this month! Catch it before they kill themselves with the meat cleaver.
The Flying Karamazov Brothers, while neither Russian nor brothers, are certainly the best jugglers anyone would ever want to see. In their boisterous, good-natured vaudeville act at the newly rejuvenated Ritz Theater, they juggle everything from flaming torches to eggs to razor-sharp sickles. Such feats are not idle monkey business. As one of the fellows explains, ''There's only one end of a sickle one can catch - more than once.''
The Flying Karamazovs have a few other tricks as well. When they're not juggling - and even when they are - they play musical instruments, sing a cappella, float deliberately outrageous puns and crack jokes. Some of these sideshows are amusing - none of them are dourly Dostoyevskyan -but they rarely distract from the main event. It's when the Karamazovs magically make juggling look like a dance routine or sound like a jazz jam session that their act really flies. It's when they invite audience volunteers to provide them with ''juggling objects'' - a slippery dead fish and a plate of jello at the preview I intended - that we're most involved.
The reason why this two-hour show can be found on Broadway rather than at the circus apparently has to do with the Karamazovs' somewhat romanticized conception of their nonjuggling talents. The jokes are studded with theatrical references - from ''Gypsy'' to ''Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead'' to ''Hamlet'' - and, when the men put on Groucho glasses, we see that they fashion themselves as new-fangled Marx Brothers. There are also mock musings on esthetics: they announce a list of ''seven theatrical principles,'' among them the rather defensive statement that ''there's more to the theater than repetition - but not much.'' Such talk, these days, certifies its purveyors as bona fide Performance Artists.
Because all five ''brothers'' are skilled at deadpan takes and comic timing, they may yet realize their ambition to clown as artfully as they juggle. At this point, their humor is knowing and erudite without being especially clever. Much of it is wholly reflective of the performers' origins - the West Coast - and recalls the late 1960's, pre-Hollywood antics of Cheech and Chong. What might, even now, convulse stoned audiences in Santa Cruz seems more precious than zany to this sober New York theatergoer.
It also remains to be seen if the Karamazovs can develop distinct characterizations a la the Marx Brothers or any other comedy team. With their black mock-Slavic uniforms, mangy whiskers and unruly hairstyles, they too often blur together: it's not for nothing that their costume accessories must come in different colors to help us tell who's who. Although all five are charming and equally accomplished at the act's various hijinks, it's only Randy Nelson, doing a beatific California blond routine (''Peace! Granola!''), who seems to march to his own, individually idiosyncratic beat. The others have hip attitudes in lieu of full personalities.
None of these failings, however, mar the sweet, rambunctious spirit of the evening or the many daredevil variations the Karamazovs work on their principal stock-in-trade. This show will please most children and any adults who don't mind too much of a good, if limited, thing.

If you are pregnant or just had a baby you are probably considering purchasing a baby carrier. The truth is, they are an absolute must have for any new mom. Although you may not realize it yet, you will be carrying your baby a lot and your arms will get downright exhausted.
Not just that, but you will not be able to accomplish much with one arm (or no arms, for that matter!) Babies love to be held close to their parents and this bonding time is very special but can also be tiring and very inconvenient. A baby carrier will also come in great handy at events or parties, while hiking or even while shopping. The right baby carrier can really be a lifesaver.
So what is the best baby carrier on the market? That, of course, depends on your needs because there are lots of reasons that pe\ople need or want a baby carrier and they should all contribute to your decision making. Some are better suited for newborns, while others are best for older babies. Some are specifically designed for hiking or long walks while others are more suitable for household activities. Regardless, there is a baby carrier out there that is perfect for you and our baby carrier reviews will aid you in finding it.
Advantages of Using Baby Carriers
The advantages of using a baby carrier are pretty intuitive. It is not only a great way to carry your baby but also a great way to minimize the items you need to pack for an outing with baby.
For example, packing up a carrier is far easier than folding down and loading up a stroller. It is also far less cumbersome while shopping, enjoying a party or taking a walk.
You can walk freely without feeling impeded by a stroller or wagon and can enjoy the physical contact with your baby. The skin to skin contact with your baby that you will experience while using a carrier is also extremely important.
Any doctor or development expert will tell you that babies bond with their parents best when they are held often and for long periods of time as infants. That physical contact and touch is an absolute "must" for infants and will help them develop and grow as well as feel secure.
How to Choose the Best Baby Carrier
Choosing the best baby carrier will not be a one size fits all solution. Some will be perfect for others but just not for you. Your best friend may swear by a specific brand or style but it isn't going to be suitable for your lifestyle or needs.
The real point is to find something that will work for you and your baby. As a matter of fact, you may want to wait until after the baby is born to choose because you will be able to factor in their preferences, as well.

Reviews of Top 5 Baby Carriers
1. ERGObaby Original Baby Carrier
As the name suggests, this carrier is made with ergonomics in mind. It has soft, padded shoulder straps and a back support to keep your spine from feeling the stress of carrying your little one. The weight of your child will be distributed evenly between your hips and your shoulders. And, just so everyone is feeling great, your child will be sitting in a natural, comfortable position, as well.
This carrier is so great because you can position your baby on your front, back or even side so that you can choose whichever position that they prefer or that will suit your particular activity. For example, they may wish to be snuggled in close to your chest while napping as you walk the mall but prefer to be on your back where they can see the action at a festival.
There is also an infant insert for newborns so that they will fit snugly and comfortably. You can purchase this separately. Included with the carrier, however, is a hood to snap up over the baby's head. This comes in handy for nursing, bad weather or if the baby is simply napping. It is constructed of durable fabric and even incorporates a little pocket up front for your change, chap stick or other small necessities.
The only "cons" to consider are:
- It is a bit expensive. However, it is a great value for the multitude of uses it has and is a lot cheaper than a chiropractic visit every week for an "out of whack" back.
- There is no front-facing chest position. That means that if your baby is on your chest they must be faced in toward you. You, however, always have the option of the side carry or the back which will both give your child a view of what is going on around them.
2. BABYBJORN Baby Carrier Miracle
This carrier is a great product and would surely be a great addition to any Mom's "bag of tricks." If you are pregnant you may not know it yet but you will need many little "tricks" up your sleeve to keep baby happy, calm and comfortable. This is definitely a product which could be one of them.
You will not be disappointed by the comfort that this carrier provides for both you and baby. It has a waist support which, like the Ergo carriers, distributes weight and creates balance in the body. This keeps your neck, shoulders or back from taking on too much stress. The carrier can be used to carry the baby on your chest or back and you can face the baby outward while carrying it on your chest. This is one advantage that it does have over the Ergo carriers.
It comes in two fabrics: cotton and a more breathable mesh. If you live in a hot or humid climate or plan to use this carrier outside a lot then the mesh may be your best bet. It comes in three attractive, gender neutral colors. This is great because it can be used for more than one child.
It is also very easy to adjust as your child grows or if you wish to move them from your front to your back. If, for any reason, you are concerned or having trouble making adjustments there is a short, helpful video on the Baby Bjorn website which will walk you through the steps and spell everything out.
There are really so many wonderful things about this carrier. The few issues you may want to consider are:
- It is, like the Ergo, expensive… but a great carrier is SO worth the money, in most moms' opinions.
- Unlike some other carriers, there are no pockets for keys, change, etc.
3. Beco Baby Carrier Organic Gemini
The Beco Gemini is definitely one of the best baby carriers on the market. It has some great features and is ultra-versatile. As with the Ergo and the Baby Bjorn Miracle, it has a waist support for maximum comfort and weight distribution.
It also has the ability to put the baby in all of the positions that either of the other two can. That means: side, chest facing chest, chest facing out AND back. The criss-cross design on the back/shoulders is easy for some people to manage than the buckles across the back on some other carriers, as well.
Anyone who has "worn" a baby knows that easy "on and off" are quite key. It also comes in lots of really cool designs and colors. It really has something to offer for every mom… and baby.
The Beco Gemini is a fabulous choice for someone looking for as much versatility as possible for their baby carrying needs. If you plan to use yours often, go many places and do many things with it then this carrier is the one for you. It is also great if you enjoy showing a bit of your personality with your baby products.From camo to flowers and everything in between, this carrier comes in a design for every style.
This is a great carrier that will certainly be a favorite product of yours and your child's. A few small concerns with mentioning are:
- Some people find the buckles difficult to manage. However, this seems like something that would be easy to overcome with practice.
- It is expensive but most of the best baby carries are.
4. BABYBJORN Baby Carrier Original
This classic and well-known carrier has a lot to offer. It comes in lots of great colors and in both cotton and mesh materials. It is also designed to support a small child's neck, head and spine appropriately. It is very well suited for newborns and small babies and will hold up over time as it is extremely durable and well-made.
You have the choice between carrying your baby inward toward your chest or outward toward the world. This is great because, just as with adults, different babies want different things at different times. A nap may call for inward positioning while a walk through the neighborhood may require the outward facing option.
They also have some pretty great accessories to consider when purchasing this carrier. They have a bib which can be attached to the carrier to catch spit up and also a cover so that you may cover the baby's head in bad weather or if it is sleeping or agitated. These accessories give you the option to make this carrier even better.
The price tag on this carrier is also really great in comparison to some of the other best baby carriers on the market. It's substantially cheaper but it's by no means a "cheap" product and is certainly a well-made, high-end baby product. Babybjorn is a very trusted brand and this style that has been in use for many years.
This carrier is great, however, there are a few things you may want to consider:
- It cannot be used for back carrying. However, this may not even be something that you are interested in.
- There is no pocket or area to keep things so you will have to carry a bag of some kind for your coins, phone, etc.
- There is no waist support. However, if you plan to use this with a small baby then that may not be a huge issue.
5. Boba Wrap Baby Carrier
Boba Baby Wrap is, free of buckles, straps or snaps and is easy to take on and off! You merely tie the material snug against your body. The stretchy fabric allows for a perfect fit every time. It can be washed and dried and will fold down into a diaper bag or suitcase as conveniently as a shirt or pair of pants. It is supportive to the baby's hips and spine.
This ergonomic design is extremely important for the baby. For you, there is a 2 shoulder design so that you are equally distributing the baby's weight. You can also wear your baby in five different positions.
This carrier is relatively inexpensive and has a lot to offer. It is easy to use and doesn't require hours of practice. You can also wrap it around yourself, get it all set up and then put the baby in. This is because it is made of a spandex knit which stretches and gives.
The fabric is very nice and this carrier is comparable to a Moby wrap but much less expensive. This wrap is also really well suited to small babies. Mothers of preemies will be thrilled with it.
It is also very comfortable, warm and snug. You can wear your baby for hours without experiencing back pain or other issues. It is designed for maximum comfort for both mother and baby.
A couple of things to consider:
- This wrap is not really suitable for very large babies. It is not a carrier that you can use until your child is a toddler but it is great for newborns and small babies under 20 pounds or so.
- The fabric is a knit spandex blend and is great for keeping baby warm and cozy. If you live in an extremely hot or humid climate this may be a bit warm for your liking. However, it is certainly not going to be miserably hot.
Overall, however, this wrap is really wonderful, high quality and easy to use. It is a great, budget-friendly alternative to the Moby wrap and much simpler to figure out. All baby carriers require a bit of a learning process but this one is particularly quick to get on and off and fun to us
These baby carrier reviews were meant to give you the information that you needed so that you could make the best decision for you and your baby. There is no one perfect baby carrier for everyone. There are many "best baby carriers." It all depends on what you need or want from the carrier. If you have not purchased a baby carrier yet, then you do need to! They are an invaluable tool to any mother… or father. Just take your time and carefully pick which one you think will best suit you and baby. Once you do, get ready to be able to walk, run, do chores, eat your dinner and enjoy your life all with baby snugly beside you!

How to tie a trucker's hitch
Use this simple knot to secure everything from car-top canoes to trailer-loads of brush
The alpine butterfly
The trucker's hitch is one of knotdom's handiest stars, able to safely secure anything from a car-top canoe to a trailer-load of brush.
Using only rope—no cam straps or ratchets required—the trucker's hitch creates enough mechanical advantage to really cinch down a load. There are many variations on the alpine butterfly; here's the simplest.
Note: Since the alpine butterfly has three points of tension within the knot, it's very strong and doesn't jam (so it's easy to undo even after being severely tightened). What else is it good for? Isolate a worn section of rope—by making the loop with the damaged part, you effectively remove it from the equation.

I have no idea what these pictures are from so I'm hoping someone can help. Google Images returns a few of these same pics but no mention as to what they are from. I *think* this was from something in the late 90s or early 00s.
Thanks to anyone who can help.

Gwinnett Daily Post
SNELLVILLE - Many players could've been satisfied with the junior season Chase Hawkins had for the Brookwood baseball team a year ago.
But while winning six games on the mound and hitting .306 for a team that made the Class AAAAA state semifinals was nice, that wasn't good enough for him. That was an attitude the 6-foot-1, 185-pound left-hander carried with him through the following summer into this spring. It was an attitude that turned Hawkins from a talented player into a leader, and then into a major component that would help the Broncos take the next step from the previous year's success and become state champions. And that attitude also helped him balance his role as the team's ace pitcher with a strong contribution at the plate to make the senior pitcher/first baseman the Daily Post's 2008 Player of the Year. "How well he balanced the two (roles), that says a lot about his leadership," Brookwood coach Rick Howard said of Hawkins. "He just went out and played. That's maturity." Hawkins' growing process stemmed from the weeks that followed Brookwood's semifinal run last season. He joined some of the top underclassmen from around the state on Team Georgia, where he learned about the winning attitude. He also learned something that turned out to be just as important - a changeup. "I started messing with it," Hawkins said. "I went out there and just developed it over the summer, and I developed it at a good time. I really gained confidence on the mound." The added pitch - and the added confidence - caught the eye of the coaching staff at Georgia, and he would sign a scholarship to play for the Bulldogs in the fall. The pitches also had a dramatic effect on Hawkins' pitching as he became the ace of a solid Brookwood staff, going 14-1 with a save, a 0.83 ERA and 102 strikeouts in 93 innings. But as dominant as he was on the mound from the beginning of the season, it looked like his biggest contribution early on would be with a bat in his hands as he was hitting over .500 even past the midpoint. And his offensive numbers still wound up being mighty impressive as Hawkins hit .430 with 3 home runs and 21 RBIs. However, the depth and power of the Broncos' batting order allowed him to take a more complementary role there and become the team's pitching stopper as the state playoffs approached. It's a role he happily accepted, though he didn't want to totally ignore his work at the plate. "Before the postseason, Coach (Howard) wanted at least one (starting pitcher) to throw a shutout in each series. I felt like that was my role. "But I was hitting a lot (last summer) to help out my team, too. I knew I'd be hitting when I'm pitching. So, why not be good at both?" And Hawkins was good at both during the playoffs. His accomplishments on the mound were probably the most visible. He rebounded from his only loss of the season in the first round against Alpharetta with a win and a save the next round, then recorded complete-game wins over East Coweta, North Cobb and Walton in the final three series. The latter was an impressive 3-2 win in a pitcher's duel with Georgia Tech-bound Mark Pope. He also had hits at several key times. Perhaps the biggest was his leadoff single off Pope in the bottom of the sixth of a scoreless game, which set the stage for Buddy Jones' two-run homer that gave Brookwood the lead. "His success on the mound fed his offensive side," Howard said. "He felt more relaxed - like he was already doing his job." Hawkins' job will be much more defined once he gets to Georgia. He'll be solely a pitcher and he is eagerly looking forward to the challenge of throwing against tough SEC hitters. "I can't wait to get to Athens," Hawkins said. "I'm going to work my tail off and try to develop one more pitch."

Four cars and a minivan set to fire in Istanbul. Shops in Diyarbakir declare the day off to protest Ocalan's prison term. Bomb goes off near an Istanbul police station, bus belonging to the ruling party is set to fire with Molotov cocktails. Man dies in clash shortly before the Kurdish separatist party holds a meeting in an Eastern city. The Kurdish leader in northern Iraq, Mr Barzani, asks for an appointment with Turkish authorities. All in one day. The Kurdish seperatists are bending over backwards to get themselves thumped. Why?
Ahmet Tekelioglu
Clearly, economist supports for PKK activities which includes not only fighting with army, but also bombing, shooting innocent civil people.
(But we can not read these news in economist.)
I believe that a group who bombs civilpeople is terrorist and the group who support this group is also a terrorist.
Why is it so hard for turks to accept that they are suppressing the Kurdish nation and that until the Kurds like everybody else get their own country - Kurdistan, there will be problems and war.
Now whether Kurds fighting for their people are terrorists or freedom fighters is a matter of opinion.
In anycase this is another reason why turkey is not fit to join the EU.
I wish we'd just go back to the days when we could just deal with communists and leftists in our own way and not feel guilty about it. People in Turkey don't know how weak and divided countries like the US really are. They need to come here to see what the effects are of rap music, gay marriage, and men with long hair, earrings, and tattoos.
Equality, liberalism, and freedom are overrated. It's so eye-opening when a Western tourists in Turkey tell me with teary eyes how touched they were that young people on busses get up to give their seats to the elderly, pregnant, and handicapped. Or how people in our country tend to be loyal to our nation, and care for one another, and how we have low crime and few racial minorities. People in Turkey take for granted how they can live in poor neighborhoods and still be among good people who love them. Look at where the nations of the West are heading today with their cherished values of equality. Adolf Hitler once said that the liberal democracies of the West would ultimately lead to communism, the man was ahead of his time.
Who said anything fascist? I'm anti-PKK and I'm not going to apologize for that. That doesn't mean I don't support Kurdish cultural rights. You'd be respected much more if you'd simply make a case for Kurdish cultural rights without supporting the PKK. PKK members don't have a language, they just grunt.
Your freedom fighters seemed pretty hell bent on getting revenge on the Kurds of southeastern Turkey after the majority of them voted for a right-wing party over the Kurdish nationalist party. Sounds pretty fascist to me. They'd kill you if you don't join their mafia or give them money.
My cousin taught English in southeast Turkey. If PKK were concerned about advancing the place of Kurds in Turkish society, why not take that angle? They're not freedom fighters, just a weird Marxist-Leninist cult. They don't even have sex, maybe that's why their so insecure about low recruits, their stupid views will lead to their own extermination.
So what if Turks are intolerant toward PKK supporters and separatists? We're not America, Turkey has no room for traitors.
Lies Lies Lies! Put it simple guys, PKK and Kurds want freedom like any other nation on this earth, we have a language, a calture and a territory that we live on called Kurdistan, sadly that name "Kurdistan" is the major reason of heart attacks for some nationalists in Turkey!! So since we have a nation we want and "we are entitled" to ask for freedom, and self determination like all other people, simple to understand isn't it? However, most Turks and the Turkish republic insist that we do not deserve such rights because we are Kurds, in fact talking about it can cost you your live in Turkey. Please stop pointing to fascist turkish newspapers as your source of refrence, Don't think the readers are fools, There is one liberal newspaper in tureky which was send to the court by the Army a few days ago. With due respect but in kurdish we say, "A fox was asked who is your witness? the fox reply's: My witness is my tail" !!! No offence is meant but the meaning is clear. you see, our turkish friends only see one side of the story and they get there information from misleading people.
We live in the year 2008, Turkey can no longer jutify its acts of terror and hatered towards it kurdish minority in the name of fighting terror. Al-Quaida and other terrorist organisations like the Hamas are terrorists because they call for the death of all non muslims and the destruction of the state of Israel, yet the Turkish government officially invited Hamas's leadership to Turkey last year. On the otherhand, we do not call for death or destruction of anyone, all we ask for is the right to be educated in our "kurdish" language, to have caltural rights, Kurdish T.Vs, magazine, newspapers, kurdish names etc. I challange you to give me the name of one person who was beheaded by kurdish resistance fighters? one foreign person who was killed by kurds?. The Turkish government not only banned our calture in the past but it also banned the three letters(Q,W and X) which do not exist in Turkish but only in Kurdish. This is why the PKK was born in 1984. Oh and by the way, if your name is Kurdish you can not enter Turkey(please see the link belowe) even if you are a child. Now, unless you have difficulty understanding english, you should be able to understand what the Kurds want and to decide for yourself if that is called terrorism or even anywhere near it. Is it morally justified to compare that cause to terrorist Al-Quida and Hamas's cause ???( Hamas is Turkey's ally by the way!)
Finally, I invite the other Turkish friends here to see the the kurdish problem from both sides and attempt to find a peacfull solution for it, rather than continue looking at it from their stubborn nationalistic point of view.
It isn't in US or UK interests to see a conflict like this, and it didn't have to be this way either. The PKK is a terrorist organization which is killing people within your NATO ally, one of the most reliable allies you've had in your history, and now they are making incursions into the country you are occupying.
This would have never happened if the US had simply forced the Kurds to turn over PKK members. Israel has always trained Kurdish fighters, but has done much to weaken the PKK such as helping to track down and capture their leader Abdullah Ocalan in Kenya. This severely weakened the PKK and have left them with only cheap attacks on tourists with occassional ceasefires with Turkey. Everyone in the Middle East knew this Iraq war would lead to chaos, that's why Turkey even initially refused the US from using our military bases. The Iraq war has emboldened the PKK, and ended our 4-5 years of peace.
Now, all of a sudden, we see that not only are PKK members not tracked down by the US nor condemned in the Western media, but their attacks suddenly became more sophisticated. Rather than simply killing or kidnapping people, which they still do as seen a few days ago, they've been ambushing Turkish soldiers with better and more improved weaponry.
Instead of making the Kurds of northern Iraq turn over PKK members, the US is now seeing Turkish military incursions into northern Iraq. The Kurds were one of your best allies in the Middle East, and the Turks were one of your best allies in NATO. Now they're fighting against each other. Now Kurds in northern Iraq are seeing terrorists as the defenders of their people. Kurds are fighters, they're intelligent and have more passion than Westerners are capable of understanding.
But then the US began giving military intelligence (oxymoron) to Turkey while at the same time pressuring Turkey to stay out of Iraq, with occassional American helicopters flying around our border. The US didn't want to act against terrorist groups like PKK and PJAK because they knew it would be to their benefit to use them against Iran, Turkey's new, more cooperative ally in the war on terror.
Less than 10 years ago, Turkey was one of the world's most pro-American nations, today it's among the least. In fact, Iran now has a favorability rating of 20-30 percent in Turkey, making Iran one of the most liked nations in the world for Turkey other than the usual small ones we have cultural ties with.
That's what happens when you underestimate peoples' sensitivities about terrorism, and the US will continue to see its effects. You've divided your allies, and united your enemies.
freeworld, I know because I read news from the region and know Turkish Kurds who live there.Today, 20,000 in Şirnak province, which borders northern Iraq, protested against the PKK. You can read about it and view photos of it for yourself.http://www.hurriyet.com.tr/gundem/10153832.asp?gid=229&sz=38934http://fotogaleri.hurriyet.com.tr/galeridetay.aspx?cid=16984&p=9&rid=2If you look at the photos, you will see signs expressing their views against the PKK in Kurdish.That's how we know.
I am surprised that The Economist's UK version would publish an article so in favor of a group the UK classified as terrorists. Will you next write in support of, and the justification for, the Underground bombers?Terrorism is terrorism and if we in the west wish to have the support of governments like Turkey, Pakistan and Afghanistan against domestic acts of terror in our countries, then the type of hypocrisy displayed by this article must end.
freeworld, if what you read here makes you sick, take your own advice and don't read it.As for where the PKK came from, it came from the same place in Lebanon that the ASALA terrorists who were murdering Turkish diplomats and civilians who happened to get in the way from 1973 to the early 1990s came from. Both are rumored to be the brainchild of former Soviet KGB agent Karen Brutents. Even the most rudimentary of research on the internet uncovers that. The PKK is a leftover cold war Soviet sponsored terrorist group that is now being used by other entities to try to destabilize Turkey and for no other means. When those entities are done, or change their goals, they'll drop the PKK like a box of worthless rocks the way the Soviets did, and their existence will be erased from our presence as ASALA's was. That's what happens to terrorists.As for where the people who wrote posts below got their "ideas" that Turkish Kurds don't support the PKK, if you had the ability to read between the lines (and in some instances you don't even have to do that), it's clear that many of those writing posts here are from Turkey, so they live it. Everyday, as do I.In any event, sheer numbers and the voluntary exodus of Turkish Kurds away from the regions the PKK ravages instead of an exodus into the Kurdish autonomous regions where the PKK finds refuge, sanctuary and support is also evidence that they don't support the PKK.Numbers and mathematics also support the claims below. This article claims there are 14M Kurds, while estimates are that there are no more than 3,000 PKK. That means that less than two one hundredths of one percent of Kurds have joined the PKK according to this article. Hawraman claims there are 30M Kurds, and if you believe his numbers that means that less the one on hundredths of one percent of Kurds belong to the PKK. Those are rather underwhelming numbers.Why don't you tell us what basis you have for challenging assertions here instead of just blowing smoke?Does this mean, freeworld, that you'll also be justifying the existence and activities of Al Quaeda? And while you're at it, don't forget to remind everyone that, in your opinion, US citizens who condemn the 9/11 attacks are "damn nationalists and facists"You complain that children in the southeast have to "walk for miles to go to school." Do you know one reason why? It's because no one will teach in those schools because PKK terrorists make a special practice of killing school teachers in those regions. The dearth of schools in those regions and the underdevelopment are a direct consequence of PKK terror--because they bomb and destroy the infrastructure to ensure there is no development.
Freeworld, to whom were your comments about nationalism versus humanism directed at? I'd say the most nationalistic person here would be the person calling the PKK freedom fighters, do you disagree? Everyone else is just complaining about the alarming level of sympathy for the PKK. I don't see any Turks here advocating the killings of civilians, whether through suicide attacks or airstrikes. But we're the hateful ones right?
Ignoring pro-PKK news articles isn't an option. There is a powerful hate campaign against Turks which I don't feel I have to accept.
to LaleCicekci:
stop making sweeping statements. How do you know whether the Kurds support the PKK or not, or that Turkish Kurds do not want to learn Kurdish? Please do not make me laugh. This is a reputable magazine if you are going to write comments at least provide evidence of your 'theories'
I am in shock at the comments below this post!! When will people stop being so damn nationalist and facist and realise that we are all human beings!!!
To all those complaining of "another Western article" supporting the PKK - then stop reading such articles and return to your propaganda on Turkish papers and tv.
The PKK did not just one day magically appear - it was created out of injustice, and against the lack of civil liberaties available for Kurds in Turkey. Although the situation has improved somewhat over the years,sadly civil rights are still not freely available to all in Turkey. To all those sitting in their comfortable homes in either the West or Ankara, Istanbul etc I urge you to go to Diyarbakir, talk to the people their and listen to their grievances and their problems. It is very easy to just be hand fed information from TV.
Brkevr: about citizens in Southern part of Turkey and the state investing 'as much as she can' please do not make me laugh!! What are you kidding?? i think even a monkey travelling across Turkey would see that there is a difference in allocation of resources. It is the states duty to serve her people - that is why they are elected - those people do not expect everything from the state - they should at least be given the basics that should be given to all people. These include schools, electricity, running water, employment opportunities. There are many many villages in the Southeast without any of these!! Where children walk for miles to go to school.
You facists make me sick!!!
There is always a big debate on the Turkey's treatment of her citizens living in the southern eastern part of her country. Ok, for once in a lifetime, let us try to look at the situation from the citizens living there. I have always wondered why the people living there have never demanded from their MPs better education, better living standarts,jobs. The biggest joblessnes rate in Turkey resides in those regions. If one says that the so-called autonomy which the region's people are running after is the only right solution, then the same one should better look at the sitaution developed in the northern part of Iraq. Although the region has got a very big potential in energy resources (Mousul and Kirkuk), there is not a single amount of return to the citizens living there. They live in great poverty although they have got their own autonomy. People believe that the citizens living in western parts of Turkey do not have any problems. In fact they do have. But they know that in order to live in our beautiful country there are some prices to paid for. (And that, I think , is the same for every other country.) The citizens living in south-east part of Turkey should ask themselves two simple questions. (Let us be honest, Turkey invests as much as she can do in the region.) Should we expect everything from the state? And if we are to gain our independence or autonomy, will all of the problems we face today disappear in a night?
What do you expect from the Economist? These Western elites gave their unwavering support to Israel when Lebanese villages were destroyed in the campaign to supposedly wipe out Hezbollah, which only attacks military targets and is recognized by few as a terrorist organization. In fact, these imperialist groups did everything they could to defend the Israeli atrocities with discredited lies such as that Hezbollah was using civilians as shields.
But now that Turkey is making incursions into the mountains of northern Iraq to destroy a civilian-targetting group internationally recognized as a terrorist organization, Turkey is fiercely demonized with claims of atrocities against Kurdish rebels. This incursion in fact had quite a bit of support from Kurds of southeastern Turkey, 51 percent supported the incursions, while 35 percent opposed (1). Opposition to the PKK is considerably higher among Kurds who live amongst Turks in western Turkey (2).
Could the policy of the West be that the lives of Turkish civilians aren't worth as much as those of Israeli soldiers and PKK terrorists? I'd like to think not.

Another US propoganda article from US/CIA sponsored, The Economist. Taraf is an off-shoot of the Economist in Turkey.
"Kurdish controlled Northern Iraq should have read "USA controlled Northern Iraq".... then the article starts to make sense.
However, like before, and for ever, USA shall never ever succeed in its operations in foreign land, as per Korea, Vietnam, Chile, Iran, Iraq, Afganistan.
US support of fundamentalism and oppression of democracy and enlightenment, support of feudal islamo-fascism shall be defeated.
Hawraman, you should be thanking the Turks for showing nothing but mercy toward you. What's stopping us from completely wiping you out? Our morals are the reason you're even alive. If we believed a good Kurd were a dead one, we'd have killed you all and we'd have probably gotten away with it too. But thankfully that would never happen, because there are too many Turks like me who love you. Yes I am unapologetically facist and racist, and I don't care because I'm living in southern California right now, one of the world's biggest victims of the disaster that is multiculturalism and diversity.
The only path for you is the one of peace. You can't win us over through violence, all you can do is win us over through our sympathy. You'll never get a country out of our land because you know that even if you ever do, you'll be bankrupt and at constant war with all your neighbors because you stole land from them all. So you can forget that dream, there are also plenty of surveys which disprove your claim that most Turkish Kurds support PKK.
By the way, I do encourage all the young people in Turkey regardless of ethnicity to seriously consider PM Erdogan's persistent appeals to have at least three children. It's in large part thanks to the Kurds we don't have to have hoards of immigrants of other races and cultures like the nations of the West. So the Kurds have in fact helped to preserve our people and culture.
I'm very pleased that Erdogan has defied these pesky feminists and has encouraged population growth. After about a generation, our population will begin aging just like in Western nations. I just don't like the globalist, capitalist, pro-EU Erdogan, but that's another story.
Hawraman, you need to get your story straight.There were 3 private schools, but the *government* made the fees so high? Private means there's no government involvement. So who made the fees so high, the private owners that were running the schools? Where they Kurds?If you're so eager for Turkish Kurds to study in Kurdish, why don't you pay for Turkish Kurdish school children to complete their studies in Kurdish language only schools in Northern Iraq? Have you done that? Tell me, how many Turkish Kurdish children's education costs do you pay that are not your own?Beyond that, your post just moves into the realm of sweeping absurdities.And, by the way, thank you for the distraction, but the recent events in Istanbul you refer to, as despicable as they are, have nothing to do with the PKK or Turkish Kurds.
Lale with due respect but what you are saying is absolutely rubish, two days ago the Turkish police tortured a young leftist man to death in an Istanbuls prison, does that means all Turks are murderes and they do not deserve having a country or any right because police killed a young man? No! A clear exmaple of fascism, I am asking for my rights and you are simply telling me I do not deserve it because I am a kurd! and you talk on behalf of my people. I am a kurd and I am telling you that most of the Turkeys kurds support the PKK. See it in the vodeo that 100 000 people shout Long Live President Apo(Ocalan) in kurdish. Now, of course the kurds you meet will not tell you that, because as we all know, sadly most turks are fascists and will brutaly kill any kurd that asks for his/her rights whenever they can or through them in jail for 15 years. I provided you evidence so I am not going to wast my time with rascist and fascist people that do not understand a civilised language. Some of our Turkish friends minds are been programmed by the Turkish military , they can't think outside of the cycle! they repeat and repeat the same old crap policy " A Good Kurd is a Dead Kurds" but they repeat it in a different way. Yes there were 3 PRIVATE Kurdish language scholls for 3 month, but they clothed down because the government has made the fees so high that no one could afford it. It is peoples god given right to be educated and study in their language which you we have been deprived of for the past 100 years in Turkey.
No government can create a culture separate and unique for a group which is armed to destroy its unity. Examples you mentioned had their culture, they did not need American linguists to create a new language for them, or Greek enemies to arm and train them.
The Kurdish language you claim to yearn for freedom to speak is not unique among the Kurds of Turkey. Turkish Kurds cannot communicate with each other in any language other than Turkish, because the ones living along the Iranian border speak Turkish mixed in Persian, the ones in Syrian border speak Turkish mixed with Arabic. What you call Kurdish is a dialect of Turkish varying with location.
As long as some people think like Kurdish or Armenian racist fascists, there will be Turkish patriots. Hawraman is the only person in these columns, who is having difficulty addressing the Turks in terms of human values.
People of Eastern Anatolia are no less impoverished than those in Central or Northern parts of Turkey, no thanks to our tax money spent on fighting terrorism. No matter which way you slice it PKK is a terrorist organization, not a freedom fighter. Do not pretend as if PKK is on the side of Kurdish people. PKK is a burden on the back of Kurdish people. One must be dumb to prefer archaic tribesmen to democratic Republic of Turkey.
Those few who wish can read and write Kurdish all they want with an alphabet they can invent, but it will not be self sufficient as long as the Turks do not learn it and that is what you want. You want the Turkish doctors to stop using their language or force them to learn Kurdish so that you can hurt Turkish unity. Asserting to the majority is like rowing against the tide. You have a choice of forming your own government, but not within my borders. That is the agony.
If you stopped writing as you say you wish to do, there will be one less angry tirade, spewing hatred without an ounce of human values.

LEGO Design Challenge
Posted by Huw,Fancy seeing your LEGO creations in print? LEGO is holding a competition in the USA only where you can win LEGO vouchers and see your model on the cover of the Holiday LEGOshop.com catalogue.
Build your model using a maximum of 100 parts and submit a photo or image of your creation along with a brief description of it. You can build it using physical bricks or you can develop your creation virtually, using LEGO Design by ME.
Read all the rules and find out what the prizes are and enter on the LEGO website (page is only viewable if your country is set to USA at LEGO.com)
Good luck to all that enter!
23 comments on this article
That's not fair :-( How come we can't enter in the UK???
Agreed. I think other countries should be able to enter. It's always more interesting to see the diversity of designs.
Rule #3, in part: "Creations must be built/designed using only LEGO® bricks and elements; creations using anything other than LEGO® bricks and elements will be disqualified. "
Now, if only we can get clarification as to whether a minifig is classified as a brick or element. My guess would be no, since they're usually referred to specifically as minifigs, suggesting a distinction from regular Lego bricks and elements.
I agree, too. That is really unfair!
Awesome. I can't wait to see how many kids hop onto Flickr, steal the first thing they find, and submit it as their own...
(I know there's a phase of the contest where you have to claim the image as your own, but I'm sure that's not going to stop a fair number of people from plagiarizing.)
Awesome!!! Too bad people in other countries can't enter. Maybe they will make a different contest for everyone else.
Sounds like a lot of fun! Lets just hope that not a lot of 13-15 year-olds enter for my sake ;)
this sounds like one of those contests which has loads of children sending in silly creations like a house which includes every colour known to man -_-
@legocity1: what's wrong with that?
Lego has the best disclaimer... almost scary sounding.
Yeah they have all of that in case some kid get the prize and then eats it and chokes because as we know its not the parents fault for being terrible parents; its lego's fault for not making toys either small enough to swollow whole or big enough so the child can't fit it in their mouths. Though if your stupid enough to swollow what is clearly not food you get what you deserve.
ncbarret: its fine if your 5 but as you get older a sense of colour is genrally a good thing
Morgan19: yeah i will be shocked if the idea is orignial
@redbullgivesuwind: My point is, we will never see them, so who cares if they build something most people wouldn't like. Maybe I'll have my 2 year old build something. :)
@Jayko543: Same with me! :)
Looks cool. BTW, why are the HERO Factory sets on the "additions to the database" feed? I see no difference...
I want to build something amazing... so we CAN'T use minifigures in the set? They have part numbers just like any other piece, so... are they not able to be used? I guess I could make a bunch of different things and submit multiple entries.
The examples they show for "inspiration" are exclusive sets released when a new Lego store is open, sets only available at that particular store. So, this being for US residents, this contest may be to find an exclusive set for a new store in the US they're opening.
Also, you probably shouldn't use minifig parts, since the examples don't use any. They're more like models of airplanes and tiny houses and stuff, you know, generally cheap sets parents and grandmas buy because they don't realize their kids don't like those things, and would prefer a Pirate ship instead, hah.
I used a minifig in the model I submitted, now I'm gonna submit it without the minifig just in-case.
And I read somewhere on their site that you should save the model and building instructions, but there's no way to submit the building instructions. You only submit a screenshot or photo of the finished model.
@ ncbarret: then that would be acceptable if it was a thousand colours. It just when you see adults who built a house and its more colours the eye can see thats annoying.
@redbullgivesuwind lol. i agree totally
Unsuprisingly, I'm not interested in this. Sure, it would be great to win, but the chances of winning are very slim when you consider how many people will enter.
For those in countries who don't get to participate, LEGO should have made a contest for each country that their website supports.
@Jayko and CJG: Make it three. I'm entering.
Anyone know if a minifig counts as three parts because I'm guessing it is an element? (Head, torso, legs)
So Joining! Hopefully I'll Win $200!
@ Everyone, you do not win $200, it's only valued at $200. You get a $100 gift card, and $50 design by me creation. The rest goes toward the certificate and "a Sponsor-specified LEGO set."
@Orange Lemons: That's what I Meant.
This is so stupid, Only 100 bricks?! I can't build anything with 100 bricks. Don't they know nothing good can be made from 100 bricks?

This year I hve a lot of wild carrot. How do I get rid of it and is it like dandelion long root and if laid on surface will reroot. Will vinegar kill it. Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
Queen Annes Lace, aka wild carrot since it is a member of the same family as the carrot, is a biennual that starts from seed one year and grows up to blossom and produce seeds the next. The single best means of control, if this is necessary, is mowing. However, this "weed" is the host plant for many insects providing them a food source when the prey they might prefer are not around, so eliminating the plants may well send those beneficial insects away and allow the pests to build up to uncontrolable numbers. |
