Becky, I really like what you've done with those pearls! Love that octopus ball, too. How clever to use that scrap of pretty silver leather as you did. Just love this and you've inspired me to try some of those pearls sometime
Luxurious accommodations for the cutest little octopus. Love the design and the way you used the pearls.
Love all those beautiful pearls! Pefect home for octopus. Great design, Becky
THanks you, ladies! It feels really smooth and creamy-cool on you neck.
OOooo! Becky! You know I'm a pearl girl who's been hoarding her stash…I'm inspired to let them be free. This is beautiful!
Yep, this is cool! Love the pearls! Mr.Octopus looks so at home among his treasures!
I'm not really fond of Mr.O. but he sure does look cute here. Love the mix of colors and sizes of the pearls.

I love this one Becky! What a clever design and it all just gels perfectly!
Turned out great. The octopus bead was an inspired choice.

It's been months since Rafel ventured over Barl's Mountains into the unknown, in a desperate bid to seek help. With his father's Weather Magic exhausted and Lur ravaged by polluting magics, there seemed no other hope. Now this too has died. Only Deenie believes Rafel still lives, sensing her brother in tortured dreams. She also knows she must try to find him, as only Rafel's talents could heal their land. The prospect terrifies Deenie, yet she sees no other choice. But she finds the lands beyond Lur blighted with lawlessness and chaos - and here Deenie and her companion Charis find the dark sorcerer Morg's deadly legacy. As they travel, they learn of a dangerous new power in the land. Deenie comes to suspect that not only is her brother involved, but that the evil their father destroyed is somehow reborn. And if she can't save Rafel then, through him, Morg's vast power could once again command their world. The Reluctant Mage is the sequel to The Prodigal Mage, and set in the same world as Karen Miller's bestselling debut The Innocent Mage.With her cast of unforgettable characters, and masterful storytelling, Karen Miller has once again created an irresistible drama of political intrigue and magical adventure.
Karen Miller was born in Vancouver, Canada, and came to Australia with her family when she was two. Apart from a two-year stint in the UK she's lived around Sydney ever since. She has held a variety of interesting jobs and fell in love with speculative fiction at primary school.

Dems Might Want to Re-Think Criticizing Linda McMahon's WWE Connection
**Written by Doug Powers
Linda McMahon stepped down as CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment in September 2009 in order to run for the US Senate, and she has since become the Republican nominee from Connecticut.
Since then, the Democrat criticism of McMahon's connection to the WWE has run rampant:
"Today the party of Bob Dole, Jack Kemp and Dick Lugar nominated a candidate who kicks men in the crotch, thinks of scenes of necrophilia as 'entertainment,' and runs an operation where women are forced to bark like dogs. This is what has become of the once grand old party," Democratic National Committee National Press Secretary Hari Sevugan said.
"Connecticut Republicans today nominated a corporate CEO of WWE, who under her watch violence was peddled to kids, steroid abuse was rampant, yet she made her millions," U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez of New Jersey, chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Commitee.
Democrats however didn't seem to have as big a moral issue with the WWE a couple of years ago:
Democratic organizations took a hard line against the company Tuesday night after McMahon beat out former Congressman Rob Simmons in the state Republican primary, accusing her of many things, including profiting from peddling violence to children. But in April 2008, both Democratic presidential candidates joined Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain on "WWE RAW", the company's flagship program, to deliver short wrestling-themed campaign spots.
From a 2008 WWE program, here's Hillary "Pantsuit Punisher" Clinton and Barack "The Vacationator" Obama, along with a cameo from John "Iron Amnesty" McCain:
Whatever your opinion of Linda McMahon, the current state of affairs in Washington is far more shameful than anything the WWE ever produced — with the possible exception of the above clip.

And now the OPRF tax levy
By Dan Haley
I was reading through a batch of my past columns last week. Doesn't that sound pathetically vain? And, yes, it's true, I was hanging on every word.
Actually, I was looking for three columns out of the 45 or so I wrote last year that I might send along to the Illinois Press Association's annual contest.
After doing this for decades, I've concluded that even though this is a community newspaper-focused contest, the judges — journalists from other states who volunteer to read the collective wisdom of Illinois newspapers — don't really want to read our takes on the local school board approving an educational software package or whether a proposed building is just the right height for a particular corner.
They want to read the universal stuff. That's why every year I change the date and send in the column from when my dad died. And, one of these years, Pop, we're going to win and you're going to be so proud of me!
I've said too much.
So there was a column from last spring, just after Oak Park voters approved a hefty tax hike for the District 97 schools. Some portion of the public, including me, worried that the schools might go on a spending spree (hmmmm).
I asked Peter Traczyk, then the school board president, what we ought to watch for to make sure District 97 was being fiscally responsible.
"Watch the levy we pass in December," he said.
The property tax levy is the number of overall dollars a taxing body is shooting to collect from local taxpayers. You can talk about tax rates and equalized assessed valuation, but the number to look at is the levy.
And that put me in mind of the District 200 school board over at OPRF. Continued kudos to them for the tight-fisted, two-year contract they inked with the faculty last week. Total pay freeze for next school year. Partial pay freeze (what, exactly is a partial pay freeze?), OK a pretty small pay increase, in the second year.
This is the sort of pact that makes a taxpayer, and we all got our tax bills in the mail this week, breathe easier.
"It won't be the high school clobbering me next year. Might be the mosquito abatement district that gets me, but it won't be OPRF."
That is if the high school board approves a levy next December that reflects its salary costs being static for two years. In its press release last week, the school says that over two years this deal will save it $2.7 million compared to previous projections.
But it will only save taxpayers if the district freezes, or actually reduces, its levy to reflect those savings. Otherwise, the school district can legally hike the levy by the level of the Consumer Price Index, which ought to amount to a couple of points this year. And remember that estimates of the amount of our tax money now sitting in the vault over on Scoville have just leapt past the $100 million mark. Simply preposterous.
Yesterday, way too late I know, I emailed several OPRF board members and asked them their plans for the levy. Heard back from just one of them by Tuesday morning. But I did hear back from Dee Millard, the board president, who I had not inquired of.
She gave me the response I expected. No, the board has not yet discussed this, she said. But the goal of all involved at OPRF is to "be fiscally efficient and prudent to stretch our dollars as far as we can ... to push the need for a referendum further out into the future."
In other words, no tax relief for you, buster. OPRF is currently prognosticating that because it has our $100 million, it will not need a referendum for at least 11 years. This is not how the tax laws were intended to work and it sounds to me like the levy is going up.

You require tax service, am I accurate? You should attempt checking out as many tax resolution businesses possible. ConsumerTaxReports.Org actually does all the groundwork therefore you don't have to. The web link is http://www.ConsumerTaxReports.org and yes it presents critiques, normal fees of the company, toll-free phone numbers and various details, etc. If you need to investigate numerous websites, you'll want to check out. The website is very beneficial.

Ella the Elegant Elephant Book Series Adapted for TV
Carmela and Steve D'Amico's Ella the Elegant Elephant book series is finally getting adapted for the small screens, with Cookie Jar Entertainment and FremantleMedia Enterprises joining forces to take advantage of the TV distribution and merchandising rights to a 26×30 min per episode cartoon based on the award-winning children's book.
Tentatively titled as Ella the Elephant, the show follows the story of sweet, optimistic, and thoughtful little elephant named Ella. With her positive outlook on life, her creativity, and a magic hat, Ella always finds a way to help her friends. The show will use CGI on top of 2D backgrounds, and is scheduled to debut on North American shores in 2013, through the Disney Junior channel. Cookie Jar has also awarded Warner Home Video with NA home entertainment rights to Ella the Elephant, which means we will eventually get home entertainment format releases of the series courtesy of Warner Home Video.

Their Best Album.,
This review is from: The Great Southern Trendkill (Audio CD)
Many will disagree with those words, but there is no doubt in my mind that here the boys really managed to do the imossible. To outdo both Vulgar and Far Beyond. Old school metallers like myself remember that around this albums release, the metal climate was changing,big names like Metallica and Megadeth had gone kinda "soft" and NU-Metal was beginning to rise. Again the Texans went against what other bands were doing, and became heavier than ever.This album has a feel to it that cannot be discribed.Songs like Suicide note 1 and 2, Drag the Waters, War Nerve and their best song ever, Floods make this an astounding release.Give it a few listens, then youll understand,trust me.

Madonna will perform during the Super Bowl XLVI halftime show, fansite SB Nation reported Monday. The site said unnamed NFL sources had confirmed the "Material Girl" singer will entertain football fans at the NFL championship game, to be held Feb. 5 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. The Black Eyed Peas played the halftime show at last year's title game, watched by over 111 million viewers. The high-profile gig has gained notoriety after the infamous 2004 "wardrobe malfunction" that resulted in Justin Timberlake exposing Janet Jackson's breast to a live worldwide television audience. As a result, the NFL has tried to steer clear from notably risque performers, inviting tamer acts such as Tom Petty, Paul McCartney and The Who.

BYU vs. USU: report card
LOGAN — The game looked to be a close one until the Aggies pulled away in the second half to finish off the Cougars by a score of 69-62. It was a tough match-up for the Cougars, taking on the Aggies on the road.
Grades are in for each position group.
Center Play: D+
Brandon Davies struggled to get anything going throughout the night, as did Chris Collinsworth. Both players got into early foul trouble, which limited their respective impacts during the first half and into the second half.
Davies, who is generally regarded as BYU's best all-around player, was limited to just 13 points on 4-10 shooting with six of those points coming late in the game, after the Aggies had built a double-digit lead. He also struggled from the line, missing the front end of too many one-and-one opportunities and finished going 5-9 from the stripe.
Collinsworth was a non-factor, only logging five minutes on the night without playing a major factor. He ended the night with a scoreless effort.
BYU did defend the post well, for the most part, with the Aggies doing most of their damage on the perimeter and on fast-break opportunities. Nate Austin provided some good play in the first half, spelling Davies after he went to the bench with two fouls.
Forwards: B
BYU saw its best play from the forward position with senior Noah Hartsock leading the way. He was able to keep BYU in the game until late with his play, tallying 18 points.
Stephen Rodgers hit some shots early but disappeared for much of the second half, finishing with seven points while going 0-4 from the three-point line.
Josh Sharp came into the game and provided some good energy late in the second half, but like Rodgers didn't make much of an impact during the second.
True freshman DaMarcus Harrison only played four minutes and was a non-factor.
Guards: C
Senior Charles Abouo had a productive game, finishing with 16 points and three assists while accounting for all three of BYU's three-point baskets. He was tenacious on the defensive side of the ball, but he could have used a lot more help from his backcourt teammates.
Turnovers were again a problem as Brock Zylstra gave up the ball five times as he struggled to get the Cougars into a good offensive flow for long periods during the game. Point guard isn't his natural position, and he is putting forth a good effort there regardless.
Craig Cusick played for much of the first half and did a good job in taking care of the basketball, leading to zero turnovers in his nine minutes of play.

The officer in charge of the sexual prevention and response branch for the Air Force was arrested and charged with sexual battery over the weekend.
According to an Arlington (Va.) County Police Department incident report, Lt. Col. Jeffrey Krusinski, 41, was arrested when he allegedly drunkenly "approached a female victim in a parking lot and grabbed her breasts and buttocks."
"The victim fought the suspect off as he attempted to touch her again and alerted police," the report read.
NPR's Tom Bowman reports that Air Force spokeswoman Lt. Col. Laurel Tingley says Krusinski "was immediately removed from his position when the Air Force received word today."
Stars and Stripes reports Krusinski served in Afghanistan and Iraq and served as the commander of 6th Force Support Squadron at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Fla. Krusinski is currently the chief of the Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention and Response branch.
Stars and Stripes adds:
"The Air Force has recently come under fire for a decision by a lieutenant general to throw out the sexual assault conviction of fighter pilot Lt. Col. James Wilkerson. Wilkerson, 44, the former inspector general for the 31st Fighter Wing at Aviano Air Base in Italy, was convicted last year of aggravated sexual assault and sentenced to a year in jail, forfeiture of pay and dismissal from the Air Force. Lt. Gen. Craig Franklin overturned the sentence and reinstated Wilkerson into the Air Force.
"Additionally, more than a dozen training instructors at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, the Air Force's basic training facility, have been convicted of misconduct with trainees, from fraternization to sexual assault. More cases are still under investigation."
Tom tells us that Krusinski has been at his position for about about two months.
"He oversaw five employees who came up with publications, such as brochures and other educational material, as well as training programs," Tom tells us. "The overall head of sexual assault prevention is Brig. Gen. Eden Murrie, who's in charge of the Directorate of Services."

This application is related to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/327,283, filed Oct. 5, 2001 entitled ADVERTISING/PROMOTIONAL DISPLAY SYSTEM.
This invention relates to multi-panel products and, more particularly, to such products which enable arcuate movements of adjacent components thereof.
With the ever increasing quantity of products and services being offered to consumers, substantial interest has been given to promotional systems for advertising such products and services. In this regard, a wide variety of advertising displays and promotional literature has been created and distributed to consumers. However, due to the deluge of material to which average consumers are constantly exposed, greater emphasis has been placed upon developing eye-catching, visual displays and promotional material which will receive consumer attention.
Although various novelty products and printed displays have been created in an attempt to satisfy this demand, these prior art products have failed to provide the desired interest generating result with production costs which advertisers are capable of justifying. In attempting to generate a unique advertising display, some prior art products have employed complex folding systems which produce a three-dimensional display when activated or unfolded. However, in spite of the unique visual appearance generated by such products, the overall cost of production and complexity of assembly of these systems has prevented such prior art systems from becoming popular.
Other prior art displays have attempted to generate consumer interest by providing unique visual images or other indicia as an integral part of the display. However, these prior art attempts have also failed to generate the consumer interest being sought, largely due to an inability to physically involve the consumer in the promotion or display.
In addition, other products, such as greeting cards have attempted to generate consumer interest. However, consumer involvement in the card display has not been achieved.
Therefore, it is a principal object of the present invention to provide a printed, multi-panel display product which is capable of being produced at a reasonable cost and provides an exciting, interest-generating display.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a printed multi-panel display product having the characteristic features described above, which enables the consumer to physically control the presentation of the display in a unique hands-on manner.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a printed multi-panel display product having the characteristic features described above which is capable of mass production and assembly.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a multi-panel display product having the characteristic features described above which provides a unique, eye-catching, exciting and surprising display which is produced in response to action by the consumer.
Other and more specific objects will in part be obvious and will in part appear hereinafter.
By employing the present invention, all of the difficulties and inabilities of the prior art are eliminated and a unique, hands-on, printed, visually exciting and interest-generating multi-panel display product is attained. This desirable result is realized in the present invention by providing a unique, pre-printed housing member within which a plurality of pre-printed display members are operatively interconnected for sequential display relative to each other in a unique, co-operative, continuously unfolding construction.
In accordance with the present invention, a principal housing or first element is provided which incorporates a front panel and a rear panel mounted in juxtaposed, spaced relationship with each other, defining a first interior zone therebetween. Preferably, each panel comprises an eye-catching, visual display for generating consumer interest.
In the preferred construction, a second element is, mounted between the front panel and a rear panel of the first element in a manner which enables the second element to pivot outwardly from the first element from a first fully stowed position to a second fully displayed position. In the preferred embodiment, the second fully displayed position is directly adjacent the first element. In addition, the second element also incorporates a front panel and a rear panel mounted in juxtaposed spaced relationship with each other, defining a second interior zonetherebetween.
By employing this invention, the second element is fully retained and stored within the first element, totally hidden from view. However, whenever the consumer or user wishes to display the second element and enjoy the visual impact provided thereby, the second element is pivoted out of its stowed position to its fully displayed position directly adjacent the first element, thereby enabling both the first element and the second element to be in full view.
In the preferred embodiment, further additional elements are also employed, with each element being pivotally mounted in the adjacent element in the same manner as detailed above. In this way, a display system is achieved wherein virtually any desired number of elements can be employed, with each element being sequentially movable from a stored position to a displayed position, in a continuous, "jack-knife" like display construction.
By employing this sequentially movable, multi-element, multi-panel display system, visually exciting and interest generating products are realized, such as greeting cards and advertising/promotional products which enable a consumer to physically engage a portion of the display member and cause each element mounted within the adjacent member to be displayed whenever desired. By continuously moving each display element relative to its adjacent element, a continuous, elongated display system is produced to the enjoyment of the consumer.
Furthermore, by providing pertinent, interest-generating printed indicia on the exposed surfaces of each element, any desired message can be conveyed to the consumer and a unique greeting card and/or promotional display system is achieved which captures the interest, excitement and imagination of the consumer. In this way, consumer interest is generated both in the greeting card and/or the advertising/display product, as well as the message being promoted by the product.
The invention accordingly comprises an article of manufacture possessing the features, properties, and relation of elements which will be exemplified in the article hereinafter described, and the scope of the invention will be indicated in the claims.
For a fuller understanding of the nature and objects of the invention, reference should be had to the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a multi-panel display system of the present invention, which incorporates a plurality of independent elements, shown in their initial, fully closed position, displaying the first element thereof;
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the multi-panel display system of FIG. 1 shown with a second element being arcuately pivoted out of its stored position from within the first element;
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the multi-panel display system of FIG. 2 shown with the second element in its fully displayed position directly adjacent the first element;
FIGS. 4-6 are perspective views of the multi-panel display system of FIGS. 1-3 with each figure depicting further additional elements in their fully displayed position after being arcuately pivoted from their stored positions;
FIG. 7 is a top plan view depicting the multi-panel display system of FIG. 1 in a completely disassembled configuration;
FIG. 8 is an exploded perspective view, partially broken away, depicting two elements of the multi-panel display system of FIG. 7 in the process of being assembled in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention; and
FIG. 9 is an exploded perspective view, partially broken away, depicting two elements of the multi-panel display system in the process of being assembled in accordance with an alternate embodiment of the present invention.
By referring to FIGS. 1-9, along with the following detailed disclosure, the preferred constructions and operation of the multi-component display product of the present invention can best be understood. Although this disclosure describes two alternate preferred embodiments of the present invention, further alternate embodiments can be made without departing from the scope of this invention. Consequently, it is to be understood that the following disclosure is provided for exemplary purposes only and all alternate embodiments are intended to be encompassed within the scope of the present invention.
As best seen in FIGS. 1-6, multi-component, display product 20 of the present invention comprises a plurality of separate and independent elements or members, each of which are pivotally mounted to the adjacent element/member for being arcuately movable relative thereto from a first stored position to a second fully displayed position. By incorporating any desired number of arcuately pivotable, independent elements or members, an elongated, continuous, sequentially displayed product is attained for delivering any desired message.
In this regard, the present invention may be employed for a plurality of alternate consumer products. In particular, advertising and/or promotional products can be created using this invention. In addition, other products, such as greeting cards, can be constructed using the teaching of this invention. Consequently, these products as well as all other similar products are intended to be within the scope of the present invention.
In FIG. 1, multi-panel display product 20 is depicted in its initial position visually displaying the principal housing or first element/member 21. As detailed below, each of the additional cooperating elements/members are stored within element member 21.
Element/member 22 is fully retained and stored within element/member 21 and, whenever desired, is arcuately pivoted relative to element/member 21 as shown in FIG. 2. In the preferred construction, element/member 22 is arcuately pivoted through an arcuate distance ranging between about 90� and 270�, with an arcuate distance of about 180� being optimum, in order to enable element/member 22 to be fully visible, directly adjacent element 21, as shown in FIG. 3.
By repeating this identical process, element/member 23 is arcuately pivoted from its stored position within element/member 22 until fully displayed, as shown in FIG. 4. Similarly, element/member 24 is arcuately pivoted from its stored position within element/member 23, whenever desired, into its fully displayed position as shown in FIG. 5. Finally, element/member 25 is similarly stored within element/member 24 and, whenever desired, arcuately pivoted until fully displayed as shown in FIG. 6.
As is clearly evident from this disclosure, multi-panel display product 20 may comprise any desired number of separate and independent elements/members. In addition, if desired, arcuate movement through any desired arcuate path can be established thereby achieving an multi-panel display product 20 which results in curved or circular displays, in addition to the substantially straight, elongated, longitudinally extending product display depicted in FIG. 1-6. Regardless of the resulting configuration attained, each element/member is arcuately pivotable relative to its adjacent element/member with each member being movable from a first, stored position to a second, fully displayed position.
In FIGS. 7 and 8, the preferred construction for achieving multi-panel display product 20 of the present invention is fully depicted. As shown therein, in this preferred construction, element/member 21 comprises a first panel 30 and a second panel 31 which are separated by fold line 32. In addition, flap 33 is also provided, which is separated from panel 30 by fold line 34.
Similarly, element/member 22 comprises a first panel 35 and a second panel 36 which are separated by fold line 37. In addition, panel 35 also comprises flap 38 which is separated from panel 35 by fold line 39.
Elements/members 23 and 24 are constructed in a substantially identical manner, with each element/member 23 and 24 incorporating first panel 40 and second panel 41 which are separated by fold line 42. In addition, each panel 40 also comprises flap 43 which is separated from panel 40 by fold line 44.
Final element 25 has a similar construction, incorporating first panel 45 and second panel 46 interconnected to each other along the fold line 47. Since the final element does not incorporate a member which is pivotally mounted thereto, final element 25 does not incorporate a flap portion.
Prior to assembling element/members 21, 22, 23, 24, and 25 into multi-panel display product 20, each element/member is printed with the desired indicia for providing the desired eye-catching visual display while also detailing the precise advertisement or promotional message being sought. Typically, the indicia comprises a distinctive, eye-catching, visually distinctive, colorful display which produces both interest and excitement as multi-panel display product 20 is opened to its full extent by the consumer.
Finally, apertures 48 are formed in panels 35, 36, 40, 41, 45 and 46 adjacent one edge of each panel. As fully detailed below, apertures 48 of each panel is employed in cooperation with each adjacent element/member for providing the pivot axis about which each element/member is arcuately pivoted. In addition, a notch or cut out zone 49 is formed in panels 30, 31, 35, 36, 40, and 41 to provide a recessed area for enabling the user to easily grasp the element/member retained within an adjacent element/member for initiating the arcuate movement thereof.
Once elements/members 21, 22, 23, 24, and 25 have been printed with the desired distinctive, visually exciting indicia formed on the outer surface of each panel thereof, each element/member is assembled. Typically, the first step in assembling or forming multi-panel display product 20 is to fold flap 33 of element/member 21 along fold line 34, while also folding panel 31 along fold line 32 into juxtaposed, spaced, relationship with panel 30. Then, flap 33 is affixed to the inside surface of panel 31 by appropriate fastening means, such as glue. As shown in FIG. 8, this folding and affixation process forms an interior holding zone 55 between the inside surfaces of panel 31 and panel 30.
As depicted, flap 33 incorporates cutout zones 50 and 51 which form pivot axis defining arms 52 and 53. In the preferred assembly of promotional/advertising product 20, once flap 33 is folded along fold line 34 and affixed to the inside surface of panel 31, pivot axis defining arms 52 and 53 are raised from cutout zones 50 and 51 to extend substantially perpendicularly from flap 33.
In the next step, element/member 22 is assembled by folding flap 38 along fold line 39 while also folding panel 36 along fold line 37 into juxtaposed spaced cooperating relationship with panel 35. Then, element/member 22 is interconnected with element/member 21 in order to provide the desired arcuate pivoting motion. In achieving this result, apertures 48 of panels 35 and 36 are aligned with upstanding pivot defining arms 52 and 53, with arms 52 and 53 being advanced through apertures of 48 of panels 35 and 36. Thereafter, arms 52 and 53 are folded outwardly to securely capture apertures 48 and a surface of each arm 52 and 53 is affixed to the inside surface of panel 30.
In this way, element/member 22 is securely mounted to element/member 21 and is arcuately pivotable relative to element/member 21 about the axis defined by arms 52 and 53. In addition, since element/member 22 is constructed with overall dimensions smaller than element/member 21, element/member 22 is capable of being stowed in its entirety within retaining zone 55 of element/member 21. As a result, element/member 22 is arcuately pivotable from a first, stowed position, wherein element/member 22 is retained entirely within element/member 21, to a second position wherein element/member 22 is arcuately pivoted to a fully displayed position, directly adjacent element/member 21.
Following the identical process detailed above, element/member 23 is assembled and affixed to element member 22 for arcuate movement relative thereto. Similarly, element/members 24 and 25 are assembled and affixed to an adjacent element member for being arcuately movable relative thereto.
As detailed above, in each assembly, the element/member is formed and mounted to its adjacent element/member for being arcuately pivotable from a first stored position to a second display position. In addition, each element/member is fully retained in retaining zone 55 of the adjacent element/member when in its first position. As a result, an exciting and interest-generating multi-panel display product 20 is realized with the consumer experiencing personal involvement in the creation of product 20 as each element/member is pivoted from its sowed position to its displayed position in a repeating, continuous, sequential manner. As a result, consumer involvement and interest is generated and heightened.
In FIG. 9, an alternate embodiment is depicted for providing arcuate pivotability to elements/members 22, 23, 24, and 25 relative to their respective adjacent element/member. In this embodiment, which is depicted for exemplary purposes only showing element/members 22 and 23, foam disk 60 is employed for establishing the desired pivot axis.
In this embodiment, foam disk 60 is constructed in a generally cylindrical configuration incorporating top surface 61 and bottom surface 62. In the preferred construction, a pressure sensitive adhesive is applied to top surface 61 and bottom surface 62, with the pressure sensitive adhesive layers being covered by removable release liners (not shown).
In assembling multi-panel display product 20 of the present invention, foam disk 60 is first affixed to panel 36 by removing the release liner on bottom surface 62 and applying the pressure sensitive adhesive to the inside surface of panel 36. Then, element/member 23 is inserted between panels 35 and 36 of element/member 22, with aperture 48 positioned in coaxial, aligned relationship with foam disk 60. In the preferred construction, aperture 48 comprises a diameter substantially equivalent to the diameter of foam disk 60, thereby enabling foam disk 60 to be easily passed through aperture 48 for enabling aperture 48 to be effectively mounted in peripheral surrounding engagement with the side surfaces of foam disk 60.
Once this assembly is completed, the secure, affixation of elements/member 23 in pivotable, arcuate movement relative to element/member 22 is finalized by merely removing the release liner from surface 61 and securely affixing the pressure sensitive adhesive to the inside surface of panel 35. Once foam disk 60 has been affixed to the inside surfaces of panels 35 and 36 which form element/member 22, and element/member 23 is mounted with its aperture 48 peripherally surrounding and engaging foam disk 60, element/member 23 is easily arcuately pivotable relative to element/member 22. In completing the assembly of multi-panel display product 20 of the present invention, each of the element/members are mounted in arcuate pivoting engagement with each adjacent element/member by employing the identical process detailed above.
As is evident from the foregoing detailed discussion regarding this alternate embodiment, by employing this embodiment, a rapid, easily achieved, assembly construction is attained. In this alternate construction, secure mounted engagement of each element/member relative to each adjacent element/member is realized, with each of the members being arcuately pivotable in the desired manner. Consequently, production costs can be substantially reduced and a more competitive product is attained.
It will thus be seen that the objects set forth above, among those made apparent from the preceding description, are efficiently attained and, since certain changes may be made in the above article without departing from the scope of the invention, it is intended that all matter contained in the above description, or shown in the accompanying drawings, shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.
It is also to be understood that the following claims are intended to cover all of the generic and specific features of the invention herein described, and all statements of the scope of the invention which, as a matter of language, might be said to fall therebetween.

Pixar's Monsters University took a big step into the digital world today by debuting a website for the school. The website is extremely fleshed-out, and even includes a store to by school gear. Details after the break.
Monsters University is a prequel to Pixar's 2001 animated hit Monsters, Inc., in which the world of monsters was turned upside down when a child accidentally came through one of their closet door portals. The prequel takes us ten years earlier, when Sulley (John Goodman) and Mike (Billy Crystal) first met in college, and the website is a great way to explore more of that universe.
The MU website is impressive in its scope and tone. Pixar went to great lengths to make Monsters University look like a real school with the website. There is a page to Apply to the University, but applications are not being accepted yet. There's also a login for students using their ID Card, so hopefully these components will become part of the experience as we get closer to the film's theatrical release. There's so much to explore (and knowing Pixar, plenty of Easter Eggs), that it's better if you just check it out for yourself. However, I do suggest you check out The MU Store, where you can buy actual school clothes and gifts. Also, the campus map might come in handy.
Let us know what you think of the website in the comments below, and clue us in to any Easter Eggs you find! Monsters University opens in theaters on June 21, 2013.

Jacobs UK closes all but one store.
The latest report on retailer Jacobs Photographic is that, since no buyout has been forthcoming, they are to close all their remaining stores except for the Jacobs branch at London Road in Leicester, which will remain open to handle stock clearance.
I feel sorry for all those who have lost their jobs - hard times for all.
To err is Human. To really foul things up you need a computer.
