Looking for Christmas greenery
Other than Save-on-Crafts which doesn't have much irt Christmas greenery, do you all know of an online store that sells it at LOW prices?
I want to use smallish strips of greenery to make a ring around something, or to stick it here or there. How's that for a good description?
Maybe an inexpensive garland from Walmart that I could cut into different lengths?
Any good online stores to buy little things to decorate for Christmas, both indoors and out?
We have a new sofa, chairs, tables on the front porch and I'd like to put something pretty there. No clue. :)
Hey Oak, I know you need to do most of your shopping online. Have you already checked Michaels, Hobby Lobby, Home Depot's online stores? There are usually coupons that can be used on some of the sites.
Or if you want real greenery, some nurseries will ship.
My choice for stuff has always been Michaels, but luckily there is a store near me. However I have browsed their website occasionally.
hugs, Karen
Hi, Karen! BTW, I lost my English Pointer in May. Remembher the beautiful Pointer figurine you sent me? Life isn't the same without my buddy. :(
I checked Hobby Lobby but they didn't have what I was looking for.
I didn't know Michaels has an online store so I'll check them out also.
Basically what I need is an inexpensive garland I can cut into strips, and I betcha our Walmart will carry it.
I got the bug and went to Walmart yesterday, they have all their decorations out. And they had exactly what I wanted...and more. You should see the stuff on my dining room table! lol. I was actually surprised at all the nice and different decor they had at low prices. Who knew WM was getting hip? :)
Oak, I too was surprised at all the nice things Walmart has this year! I got some beautiful "sweets" ornaments to add to my candy/dessert tree in the kitchen. They are so inexpensive that I didn't feel bad not waiting until clearance. They also had some battery operated gift boxes that light up. They were a bit pricey, though, so I'm hoping they will have some left for clearance.
Oak, I am so very sorry to hear you lost your beautiful Pointer. Its so hard, and they leave such holes in our hearts and lives.
Its wonderful Walmart had what you wanted. Yay! Years ago they had great Xmas stuff, cheap, but the last two or three years they'd really cut back a lot. At least here in Phx, and it was disappointing. I may give them a look this year just to see if they've improved, tho Heaven knows I don't need to buy a darn thing!! I just use to love looking at their Xmas stuff tho, whether I bought or not. :o)
Pdg, thats neat you found some ornaments for your kitchen tree. :o)
I don't know about most of you, but the after-Christmas sales have nearly disappeared here in Phx due to so many stores having them beforehand. Its like they suddenly rush to get rid of their holiday stuff before Christmas even arrives. Hate that. Tho I do still find some great buys at Michaels afterwards sometimes.
hugs, Karen

New Advertising Cuts Electricity Consumption
Tuesday 20 January 2009
Newly installed hoardings at Exeter International Airport will cut the use of electricity by 70 per cent when compared to the previous adverting panels.
Airport Partners who hold the airport's contract for on-site advertising, commissioned Vivid Media to carry out the work and in collaboration with Creative Agencies. They have replaced the old 12 metre by 3 metre high advertising hoarding and its smaller 6 metre wide version alongside which used fluorescent tubes, with new advertising panels using state-of-the-art LED technology.
On completion of the work Exeter Airport's Managing Director Jamie Christon said: "This is a pioneering green solution for illuminated outdoor advertising that can cut electricity costs by up to 70 per cent and we are very happy with the result. The new panels with nearly five thousand LEDs currently feature the airport-based airline Flybe and the result is stunning."
Andrew Walker, Managing director of Airport Partners, said: "The two original hoardings had come to the end of their lives and we looked at several options for replacing them. We knew about the digital wall and flooring displays that Vivid Media have been installing so we approached them about providing a solution for the airport."
"Although LEDs work out more expensive installation-wise, the long-term benefits cannot be ignored. As well as the 70 per cent saving in electricity, there is far less maintenance and the new system will pay for itself within two years."
"Fluorescent bulbs begin to lose their brightness after around 12 to 18 months, although they can actually blow at any time. The light emitting diodes are expected to last for over 10 years and offer around 50,000 hours of full brightness."
Rod Pallister, Operations Director of Vivid Media, said: "For us the timing was perfect as we had started looking into the technology behind LED ad displays, so we were able to offer that to Airport Partners as an alternative solution to replacing like-for-like.
"The LED units are guaranteed for five years and are maintenance-free for eight years; plus you also get an equal brightness across the whole display and there is no heat dissipation."

Fluent English speaking French national and Irish other half living in Trim, Co. Meath with our two Cocker Spaniels.
6 things we like: Food. Wine. Coffee. Music. Alfa Romeos. Running.
6 things we cannot live without: Our dogs. Friends. Music. Holidays. Books. Ruuning.
Favourite Holiday Destinations: Iceland. The Seychelles. Mauritius. Reunion Island. Hungary. France.
Favourite Cities: Edinburgh. Lille. Reykjavik. Cannes. Budapest. Paris. Dublin.
Our guests:
We aim to always make our guests feel at home in our place. We prefer it when our guests feel comfortable enough to sit and chat with us, join us to eat (or drink) or even just to watch tv. We'd like our guests to feel like they can come into our living room and throw themselves on the couch to watch tv or read a book, as they would in their own home. We want all of our guests to feel relaxed and at ease in our home, so we prefer to keep things as informal as possible.
Our hosts:
If we're staying places it more than likely means we're on holidays. So, we prefer to stay in spaces that are owned and hosted by people with a similar approach to ourselves,i.e., where the rule book is not too dense, the atmosphere is never tense and where the overall experience is informal, relaxed and friendly. Life's too short for anything else.
About us:
We're together 11 years now. We're a pretty level headed, and easy to get along with, couple who enjoy mostly the simple pleasures in life such as good food, walks with our dogs, a nice glass of wine on the couch, all sorts of music, holidays in France, strolls along the river, a good read and finally, the company and conversation of anyone we can call a friend, whether newly-made or long-suffering...
Motto (Borrowed from a tv commercial):
"Senza cuore saremmo solo macchine" : "Without heart we would be mere machines"

Ferrous House, Milwaukee. WI
Living hall
Doug Edmunds Studios
View through entry foyer
Detail of corner glazing and steel wrapper extending beyond corner of house to shelter patio
Section model
When asked to design a house, it is assumed architects would rather start with a blank canvas than reinvent an existing structure. That's especially true when the house is of no particular provenance—say, a bi-level production home near the end of its life cycle. Clients, too, often overlook the opportunities to piece together old and new.
An exception is Eric and J.J. Edstrom, who live in a wooded subdivision west of Milwaukee. After 10 years in their boxy 1970s-era home, the couple agreed that its 1,300 square feet was roomy enough for them and their young daughter, even if it was dull and dysfunctional. They wanted a modern, compact design, one that would salvage the building's still-viable structural parts.
The couple enlisted Milwaukee-based Johnsen Schmaling Architects, who saw the project as a chance to experiment with using the foundation, perimeter walls, and plumbing stacks of an outmoded structure as the framework for a new one. Architects Brian Johnsen, AIA, and Sebastian Schmaling, AIA, thought of it as a clean box, if not a clean slate.
"We thought about how to bring in light, take advantage of views, and connect the house to the outside—all the things you'd do when designing from scratch," Schmaling says. Reorganizing the interior added space and opened up the cellular floor plan, while three bigger moves judiciously accomplished the other goals. A new shed roof, supported by exposed metal and wood trusses, slopes up toward the north, inviting light deep into the interior through a long band of translucent, aerogel-filled polycarbonate glazing.
"Before the remodel, it was like a dungeon in here; now we don't have to turn on any lights during the day," Eric Edstrom says. "The roof design was an important eco-issue—how to use a translucent material across the front of the house without losing heating or cooling."
Credit: John J. MaCaulay
In fact, Schmaling says, the polycarbonate's ?-inch aerogel cavity has an R-value of 7, compared to 2.6 to 3.5 for 1-inch-thick insulated low-E glazing. (Solutions such as these earned the home a 2010 AIA Housing Award, a recognition that is increasingly looking to honor ecological design.)
The facades are built for environmental performance. Walls with large windows were reframed using 2x6 studs, and the remaining walls were furred out to create a 5-inch cavity filled with spray-foam insulation. Attached to the sheathing is a VaproShield membrane that allows the house to breathe. A COR-TEN steel rainscreen, hung 1 inch from the membrane, wraps the house on three sides and eliminates heat and moisture buildup.
In these straitened times, Johnsen and Schmaling's approach offers a sensible alternative to the default response of tearing down and building bigger. "We were probably more involved in construction than on a new home because of not knowing what we'd encounter," Schmaling says. "But I don't think it's anything people should be afraid of." He estimates the owners saved about 25% in construction costs by using the existing house's bones.
"There's a sense of pride when you know you've saved something you easily could have torn down," he says. "You don't have to start from scratch to create something of value and artistic integrity." AIA

NCVO and Third Sector Research Centre to create a data bank of 10,000 charities
26 Mar 2015
NCVO and the Third Sector Research Centre are to create a data resource to track ten years of voluntary...
Sorry for interrupting, but there is something we need to tell you...
We use cookies to ensure that we give you the best experience on our website.
If you wish to restrict or block web browser cookies which are set on your device then you can do this through your browser settings, the Help function within your browser will tell you how.
From tomorrow (26 May 2012) the Information Commissioner's Office will enforce the law requiring all websites to inform users and obtain consent of cookies being placed on devices.
The Privacy and Electronic Communications Directive was introduced by the UK government on 26 May 2011, with organisations being given a one-year grace period before any enforcement of the law would begin. The ICO could now impose fines of up to £500,000 in the most serious cases, but will first issue organisations with warnings.
The sort of solutions organisations chose to implement depends on the type of cookies it uses and the complexity of the website.
Charities such as the Great Ormond Street Hospital, have now posted a banner to tell users there are cookies on the site directing them to a link to disable them.
Other organisations, however, are waiting to see how others implement changes and for further guidance from the ICO. Barnardo's told civilsociety.co.uk that this is what it is doing. Bob Darby, director of information services at the charity, said:
"Our approach is based on a detailed risk assessment that takes into account all factors including the loss of income that would result from pursuing full compliance."
He added that the charity was keeping the issue "under review" and would make necessary changes if internet browsers were upgraded to include consent functionality or if an industry standard emerges.
According to a recent survey of 2,000 people by the Internet Advisory Bureau UK, 90 per cent of the public want control of their privacy. However, only 37 per cent understood what cookies where, with 36 per cent being unaware of them and 28 per cent misunderstanding them.
The ICO has also today published guidance for the public, explaining what cookies are and how they can delete them as well as a link that people can use to report websites not complying with the law.
Charities have raised concerns about the potential impact after the changes to websites have been implemented.
Action Aid UK is currently deciding how it will comply with the legislation and a spokeswoman told civilsociety.co.uk that: "We are obviously concerned about the impact this is going to have on the use of non-intrusive analytics (the standard use of Google analytics for example) and the user experience."
She added: "We would be very worried if we were forced to request consent for all types of cookie because of the impact this will have on our fundraising and campaigning."
Under the legislation, websites that use cookies that are live for just one session, need not receive consent.
The RNIB has raised concerns that the implementation of solutions may make websites inaccessible to the blind and partially sited people.
Kelly Harrison, web and digital development manager at RNIB said: "If not implemented correctly, this law could make the internet a more difficult place for blind and partially sighted people to get around. Organisations may be able to comply with this law, but find themselves breaking the Equality Act."
The ICO warns that all organisations with a website "must be on the path to compliance". Dave Evans, from the ICO said: "This means that UK websites must provide visitors with sufficient information to make a decision on whether they are happy for a cookie to be placed on their device and obtain consent before placing a cookie."

Gallery: EcoCool is a Water Filter that Waters Houseplants with Treated...
EcoCool is a system designed by Ardavan Mirhosseini to filter and reuse the greywater produced in showers and sinks (but not toilets). The water passes through two separate filters and can also be used to cool and moisturize the space. After the water makes its way through this system it is now clean enough to grow plants and vegetables. EcoCool consists of two filters; the first filter is hidden while the second filter is a series of wall tiles that are full of channels filled with sand and marble allowing water to pass through. These wall tiles separate the water into small enough droplets that they can be vaporized into the air, cooling the air and the system in the process. In addition to cooling hot air, EcoCool moisturizes dry air through the process of vaporization.

Is there a trick to stop this type of feeder from dripping?
My previous feeder is a Parasol - which I LOVE, but now I also have 3 beautiful round globe like glass hummer feeders with little bent like tube funnel-things at the end, but they pretty much seem to just drip after I hang them....
Is there some trick to keep them from dripping?
It all depends on differential air pressure. As the liquid lowers in the body, a vacuum is created in the headspace, so those types of feeders have to seal completely in order to prevent constant dripping. They also may drip if they get warm, like when in direct sun, do to increase in volume and pressure inside the globe. I am guessing that the feeding tube goes through the stopper?? Make sure the fit for the tube is very snug and that the stopper seats firmly. After filling, when you turn it right side up, you should get a little bit of spillage, then it should stop.
You can also try filling the globe part with either less nectar (if you are currently filling it ocmpletely), or more, to find the point of equilibrium between gravity pulling the nectar out and air pressure keeping it in.
Hope that helps, but remember the most important thing isn't what the feeders look like to us. The most important thing is they have to be easy to clean.
HEY, we have the same birthday! '56 for me!!
Dave provided an outstanding scientific answer above. The short answer is no. A better mousetrap is the answer here--the mousetrap in question being a feeder the hummers like, yet is easy to clean. Basin feeders work best for this in my opinion, although some gravity (bottle) feeders are OK too. I have only three feeders, but it only takes me a total 5 minutes to clean and change the nectar in all of them (all three are basin-style). I'm in my two-day change cycle now here in NC, and the hummers always know there will be fresh nectar for them when they stop by.
First, I need to change "...do to ..." to "...due to...".
Second, I am all on board with mbuckmaster. I, too, only use the saucer type. I see a lot of pics of hummers using the other types, so I know they work and the hummers like them, but they just can't be as easy to clean.
All of mine happen to be Hummzingers. I found a bunch in a going-out-of-business sale, so I have two sets. One in use and a clean set ready to go every three days. I swap then out, on the fly, so to speak.
Here's a couple of pics of the Hummzingers in use.
Male at dusk:
Female leaving after getting her fill:
I agree with the above posts that the easiest to clean are the best. The fancy ones are usually more pleasing to us and cost a lot more, the hummers could care less what they look like. I dont have the basin types. The ones I have are easy to clean with bottle brushes. These types are easy to clean but may leak some when it gets hot.
You can see from the pic there was a third feeder but it leaks so its history, if it leaks when its cool its no good. It was the heartshaped artline.
this one doesnt leak either , I have since painted over the yellow to keep bees away.

Easter herb roasted leg of lamb with walnuts, almonds and apricots

You may be onto something there Gordi, Shigeru Miyamoto created both the Mario and Legend of Zelda series and Wario originated from the Mario series so that may explain it. Although I have no clue what you mean about that little guy looking like Tingle, he reminds me more of the Minish.
gordi said:
Yoshlee, what I said was that the clothing looks a lot like link's or tingle's, you know, the green tunic, the pointy hat, not the character itself. And yeah I think that would explain the similarities.
Zumwan said:
I think this looks good, but for the GBA or NDS. I think a Wii title can do more than that.
Aeth said:
Ah Wario, doing anything for treasure. Game looks cool, and the animated cut scenes make it look like an actual anime you can participate in. I did notice some Yoshi Island and Legend of Zelda similarities.
YoshLee said:
Sorry gordi my mistake. I wonder if this will have cutscenes like Brawl (if it does this game is a for sure buy for me).

Gang of 22 criminals - one female - gunned down in Mexico warehouse during police 'shootout' were NOT executed, officials say
- Investigation into confrontation last month says none of the 22 criminals were killed at close range amid suspicions of a mass execution
- Little evidence of a gun battle
- One soldier injured
- 'It doesn't sound right,' said ballistic experts
Mexican prosecutors said their investigation into the shooting deaths of 22 suspected criminals at a warehouse last month has found that none of the people were shot at close range.
Questions arose about the June 30 shootout with military forces in which all of the suspects were killed, but no soldiers died, even though the suspects allegedly opened fire first.
The prosecutors' office of Mexico State said in a statement sent to The Associated Press late Thursday that it has 'no evidence at all of possible executions'.
The office said it found ballistic evidence of "crossfire with a proportionate interchange of gunshots."
But reporters who visited the warehouse did not see signs of an extended gun battle.
About five spots along the warehouse's inside walls showed the same pattern: one or two closely placed bullet pocks, surrounded by a mass of spattered blood, giving the appearance that some of those killed were standing against the wall and were hit by one or two precise shots at about chest level.
Scene: The warehouse that was the site of one of a shootout between Mexican soldiers and alleged criminals on the outskirts of the village of San Pedro Limon, in Mexico state, Mexico. Despite that heavy gunfire, only about six incoming rounds appeared to have hit the facade of the warehouse
There were few signs of any stray bullets or near misses of the kind that would be expected in a large gun battle.
The prosecutors' statement did not release any of the autopsy or ballistics reports.
Nor have federal or state prosecutors responded to repeated requests for that information.
The statement said a chemical test for gunshot residue indicated the dead suspects had fired weapons, but did not specify how recently.
But experts called into question Mexico's reliance on a relatively primitive and partial chemical test for gunshot residue. Modern police departments use a clean swab and a scanning electron microscope to identify three 'signature' elements of gunfire — barium, lead, antimony.
Mexico's chemical-reaction method tests only for lead, and is usually used by police in other countries to test suspected bullet holes on clothing, not a suspect's hands.
'It doesn't sound right,' Ronald R. Scott, an expert ballistics witness and former commander of the Massachusetts state police firearms section.
'That's not the gold standard.'
Moreover, Scott said, gunfire in an enclosed space like the warehouse probably would have left some residue on the suspects' bodies even if they hadn't had fired a gun, because the residue spreads in the air.
Soldiers who had gunshot residue on their hands and uniforms also apparently entered the warehouse, spreading it further.
Soldiers or police may have even further contaminated the crime scene: the floor of the warehouse was scattered with broken parts of cellphones, because someone — apparently soldiers or police — broke the phones to extract the SIM cards, which contain information about the owner and his calls.
Extracting the phones from the dead suspects' pockets and handling the bodies could easily have contaminated them.
'It seems to there's a significant question of reliability and validity,' Scott said of the test results.
The state prosecutors said they have turned the investigation over to federal authorities.
Mexico's Defense Department says soldiers were patrolling in a violent corner of the country on June 30 when they came under fire from a warehouse where a gang of 21 men and one woman were hiding.
One soldier was wounded, but all of the suspects were killed.
The shootout was the most dramatic in a string of battles in which the army says criminals fired first at soldiers who then killed them all, while suffering few or no losses.
There have been so many such incidents that human rights groups and analysts have begun to doubt the military's descriptions of the events.

A special Thank you to Susan aka Pistil
Just wanted to let everyone know what a special lady Susan is...she spent over 3 hours on the computer (instant messanger) with me on a project last night...3 hours I know she needed to do things for herself. I was in desperate need of help and she came through for me....THANK YOU SUSAN!!! (AKA Webmaster queen!)
And to keep this soap related, here's a pic of my carnation bar complete with cigar wrapper!
WOW - I don't know what to say except you're welcome and it was no big deal! lol! I can't tell you how many times Jill and Nikki have dropped what they're doing to come to my aid so I can only help others in return, and besides, what are friends for? ;o)
Thanks Sandra and Hazel...the cigar band I did on my computer, the photo is a cropped photo of one of my flowers. I imported it onto a horizontal flyer project in my photo program times 3, so I could get three bands per sheet. I then added the text and then printed it on pink marblized type paper. I'm just playing around with these trying to figure out what I'm doing! LOL

Desperate Escape (2009)
90 mins
Easily Forgotten
As a thriller "Desperate Escape" is not good, it lacks realism, believability and to be blunt it is all too obvious. And that problem of being obvious stems from one problem and that is there are not enough possibilities to keep you guessing. Here we have a story of a woman who wakes up from a coma following an attack and is suffering from amnesia, she meets Michael who says they are engaged although she doesn't remember him and then there is the person who lurks about in the shadows and that is it. So we are left to watch to work out who attacked her, was it Michael or was it the person in the shadows and it needed more possibilities to make it exciting. As such "Desperate Escape" becomes almost a walk through of a thriller which as soon as you discover there are just 2 possibilities it is obvious which one will be the right one.
Following an attack which left her in a coma, Brooke Harris (Elisabeth Röhm - Miss Congeniality 2) wakes up in hospital suffering from amnesia and with Michael Coleman (Michael Shanks) by her bed who with a photo of them together says he is her fiancee. Unsure Brooke is released and with Michael goes to their home in the country but with memory loss not only is Brooke unsure of everything but flashbacks of the attack make her panicky. As she tries to piece together her life and make sense of things it becomes apparent that all may not be as it seems but who can she trust?
So "Desperate Escape" runs with quite a familiar set up of a person waking up with amnesia and trying to piece their life back together and working out what happened to them. We get moments of flashback which lead to Brooke to doubt certain things such as whether Michael is the loving fiancee he seems whilst we have the person who is lurking ominously in the shadows. It isn't anything new and slowly we watch as Brooke goes from panic attacks to doubt as she becomes suspicious of Michael and tries to work out what happened to her, who attacked her and why.
Now there are a lot of issues with this movie none more so than it is not realistic especially when Michael shows up at the hospital claiming to be Brooke's fiancee and the doctors are quite accepting off it. The fact just a couple of days after waking from a coma and suffering from amnesia the hospital let her leave with Michael, a man she doesn't even remember makes it even more unbelievable. And this lack of realism and Brooke accepting things too easily flows right through out the movie and at times making a mockery of things. Plus the lack of realism comes when finally Brooke discovers the truth and we have a less than believable action ending as Brooke makes a stand against the person she discovers attacked her.
Now I never mentioned who it was who attacked her but to be honest it is very obvious because we really only have the two possibilities; there is the person who is lurking in the shadows all the time and Michael. It is a case that "Desperate Escape" needed more possibilities, more characters who could have been behind Brooke's attack to make it more intriguing. As such with just these two possibilities you end up hoping you are wrong by who you guess because at least by being wrong it would have been left obvious.
Acting wise well it is as uninspiring as the movie but to be honest with the movie lacking realism you can't blame Elisabeth Röhm and Michael Shanks as well as Serinda Swan for playing very false characters. You almost get a sense that the cast whilst not bad actors were picked more for their looks especially Röhm and Swan as they have the most amazing eyes.
What this all boils down to is that "Desperate Escape" is not a great thriller, it's not even a good thriller but just about makes it to being average. The trouble is that not only does it lack realism, missing out great chunks of narrative to create suspense, but it doesn't have enough possibilities to make it intriguing, you can guess the outcome not long after it starts.

It is traditional on International Women's Day to celebrate the advances we have made as women. As I began my on-again off-again career as a journalist in the 1960s, it is easy to look back and see monumental advances.
Violence against women was epidemic, but it wasn't until December 6, 1989 that the veil covering misogyny was lifted through an act of such fury and hatred it could not be explained any other way. That terrible act of violence allowed many of us to remember, to admit to ourselves or to speak to others about the violence we had suffered at the hands of men.
In that way, the aftermath of the Montreal Massacre 25 years ago had similarities to the unprecedented discussion of sexual assault and sexual harassment unleashed after the Ghomeshi scandal that we are experiencing now.
I first met John Greyson, now in an Egyptian prison, in the 1990s when he called me to ask if I would like to play a red blood corpuscle in his brilliant AIDS musical comedy Zero Patience. The shoot was in the pool of a downtown community centre. When it became clear that we would be in the pool for a few hours, I asked, "John, can I wear my glasses?" He put a finger to his chin, looked a little perplexed and said, "I don't see why a red blood corpuscle can't wear glasses?" Turning to one of his camera people, he asked "do you?" We all burst out laughing.

Flora MacDonald, a Progressive Conservative elected in 1972, tells a story that illustrates something of what women politicians faced:
"I worked twice as hard as anybody. You had to work hard. I had decided early in my career in the House that I would change the custom that only dresses were suitable, so one day I wore a pantsuit into the House of Commons. It was a beautiful pantsuit. I had bought it in France, and it was good quality. That became a front-page photograph right across Canada.

As an aging feminist I am often asked to speak about the progress we have made as feminists and how much is left to do. It gets depressing sometimes because of the persistance of violence against women and economic inequality. I am despairing of the deep gendered divide in children's toys and the heavy load placed upon young women expected to be beautiful, thin, successful, a great mom and too often chief cook and bottle washer at home. Not to mention daily viewing the old Reform party anti-feminists running the country.
Change the conversation, support rabble.ca today.
I think we will look back at 2012 as the year that everything changed. The year began with what became a powerful strike of Quebec students against an intransigent government and ended with an historic movement of Indigenous peoples across the country declaring they will be Idle No More.
Idle No ... mention? A well-known First Nations Chief is two weeks into a hunger strike when thousands of young indigenous people hit the streets, the malls and the highways in a myriad of non-violent creative actions in solidarity and to demand change from an intransigent government.
When I opened The Globe and Mail on Saturday I hoped to see some in-depth coverage of the new movement Idle No More. There was nothing.
How can you call yourself Canada's national newspaper? (edited out)

This letter was published today in the Globe without the last sentence. I reproduce it here so I can post on Twitter without a pay wall
I haven't written a blog in a long time but the recent attack on Gaza has moved me to write. During the last attack in 2009, I was angry, furious at the slaughter of hundreds of people of Gaza trapped in a tiny slip of land without any protection. So I participated in an occupation of Jewish women of the Israeli consulate. As you will see from the video I was furious and ready for action. This time my feeling is more sadness.

In order to decrease the amount of solid waste and increase the amount of recyclables in California landfills, the 2011 Assembly Bill ┬Ā341, Solid Waste: Diversion, established the Mandatory Commercial Recycling Law. It requires owners of businesses that produce four or more cubic yards of waste per week and all multi-family dwellings with five or more units to provide tenants with recycle bins.

I so want another body. I'm with ya on this...
Thrash It, Bash it, Break it, No Regrets!!!
Yeah apparently there is a 69 Camaro Rally body. It looks way better than the Mustang. I can't seem to mention anyone other than Traxxas making bodies, cause if I do someone edits my post. I can't wait till the aftermarket gets on board.
It would be nice if one of the traxxas employees that post here would comment.
I called earlier this week and was told by a Traxxas employee that Rally bodies will be available in the next week or so. It seems like somebody dropped the ball. I can't understand how all the other parts are available but not the bodies.
But thanks for calling them, I just hope the Fiesta and Mustang bodies get out soon.
All the other parts needed to convert a Slash VXL to a Rally, I purchased in November through Traxxas. Of course almost everything I needed said it was "out of stock". I called anyway and the only thing they didn't have in stock was the body, and the shock limiters. I'm wondering what makes these bodies so hard to get produced.
is there other vendor's body that fit the traxxas rally ?
The Rally's wheelbase is 206mm, the width is 185mm. The only thing that would come close are Tamiya mini bodies, as well as HPI mini bodies that have a 210mm wheelbase. It seems these would be close at the wheelbase, not sure about the width. I'm ready to buy one and try it out. I'm getting sick of having my Rally sit cause there's no bodies available. Tower says mid January. Next it will be February, and so on and so on....
i see, thx
in the the UK a shop says clear shell £16 but out of stock. at least they say a price.

Yokomo made a 1/16 scale drifter of a Mazda RX7. Also when I use to r/c crawl I would find 1/10 hard bodies to use. So Target has a new bright 1/16 rally for $20 rtr. Remove the body and it should work. I have not measured as of yet but I will try and get to Target once my KB comes in that I ordered up today. & if you google for Traxxas Rally Body you will find tons of retailers selling them @ almost any price however, they all say out of stock...

Hey SNIPR806 Where can i buy that RX7 body i see the whole car everywhere but cant find just the body...
Lexan Tamiya midnight pumpkin body fits wb and track. Tower has them in stock. The Lunchbox body will fit, but will be hard to mount.
i hope they come out with a New Dodge Challenger body.

dimensions above.
the wheelbase is about +/- 10 mm difference w/ what is available from other vendors.

this is just a thought....but has anybody thought about using the new exotek hummer body.....probably would have to use mounts off of mini revo or mini summit...possibly a new bumper too
Still no word on this huh? Ill need to get one soon. Don't really feel like spending 40 bucks on eBay for one I can't paint
The actual Kit still says Late Jan. I might just ... get a summit. Its not like I can run the Rally with all this snow here in NY. All my Fantasy Football winnings are burning a hole in my pocket.

My guess, all the bodies TRAXXAS are building are for the Rally itself.. It is still out of stock in many places.
Traxxas please sell kits!
