They will not tell us the breeders. He is ACA registered which is not the same as AKC registration. So we have no way to contact the breeders. So they can continue to breed sick puppies and sell them to other people who will get stuck with big vet bills and we will probably have to put our beloved dog to sleep. The sad part is if they would pay for the corrective surgery our dog would be cured.
The sad part is they would only have to sell 4 puppies and use the money to do the right thing and save our dog. Apparently they don't really care about the dogs they sell or their owners.

If you have the paperwork
AUTHOR: KrisG - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Monday, February 20, 2012POSTED: Monday, February 20, 2012
Look at your contract with them. If the issues your pup is having is covered, AND it provides for refund or vet bill reimbursement and NOT just store credit, take that in and demand to speak with the manager. If they refuse to abide by their contact take them to court.
And its petland, of course they don't care.

A longboard is essentially a larger, longer skateboard that's perfect for downhill racing and cruising around town. There are three main features to consider when you're shopping for a longboard: deck size, board flexibility and whether or not the board has a kicktail. The longer and larger the board, the more stable and heavier it is. A kicktail allows you to do quicker turns and tricks, if that's your thing. A flexible board absorbs some shock from rough terrain, although it may not be as stable as a stiff board. After you've decided on your preferences for these features, you'll be well on your way to finding your perfect ride.
Measure the length of the board. A very long board (42 to 46 inches) is good for long sidewalk rides and certain tricks, like walking up and down the length of the board. It's also heavier to carry and can be unwieldy for beginners or shorter riders. A board between 32 and 42 inches is considered mid-range and is generally good for beginners. A 28- to 32-inch board is best for shorter riders -- taller riders may not feel as stable on a shorter board.
Flip the board over to examine the placement and shape of the deck where it is attached to the wheels. You'll see either a topmount deck that sits flat on top of the trucks (the metal fixture that holds the wheels), a flat dropthrough deck that sits slightly lower or a dropped deck that sits very low to the ground. The topmount deck is higher and less stable, but it allows for easier turning (carving). The dropped deck is more stable, better for long, straight distances (cruising) and easier to stop. The dropthrough deck offers a mixture of stability and turning ease.
Stand on the board and gently bounce up and down. You should be able to feel if the board is very flexible, slightly flexible or stiff. A flexible board will absorb some shock on gravel or bumpy terrain and is useful for commuting. A stiff board is more stable at higher speeds and is especially popular in downhill racing. Many longboard aficionados consider the stiff longboard to be the "real" longboard.
Measure the wheels, which run between 60 mm and 100 mm. The wider radius on larger wheels allows them to go faster, while smaller wheels can accelerate more quickly. Make sure the wheels you choose aren't too large -- a large wheel can scrape against the deck as you're riding, an issue called wheelbite that can make your longboard stop abruptly and possibly throw you.
Choose your bearings, which come in ceramic and steel and attach your wheels to the truck. Ceramic bearings allow for a smoother ride, but they're also more expensive. Steel bearings are more common for casual riders.
Choose your trucks depending on your skill level and your longboard activities. An average truck is sized between 150 and 180 mm. All-purpose trucks are useful for transportation and commuting. Downhill racing trucks are usually more durable to withstand higher speed. Check the turning angle as well, which determines how wide your turns will be. Fifty degrees is a standard angle, while a decreased angle will give you a wider turn and more stability. Torsion trucks allow for very tight turns, but they also offer less stability.
Look at your longboard from the sides. If the tail curves upward, the board has a kicktail. A kicktail is useful if you plan to make sharp turns, since you can press on the tail to lift the front of the board off the ground. It's also useful for getting onto curbs or for doing tricks. A flat board without a kicktail usually has a wider wheel base, which makes it more stable for beginners.
- If possible, test drive several longboards to see which is appropriate for your needs.
- Use a helmet and protection on the knees, elbows and/or wrists to prevent injury. Longboarding barefoot can result in significant damage to the feet, ankles and toes.
- Always consult a doctor before beginning a sports or fitness regime.

It's Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day
Today is the 11th Annual Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day, according to the folks who make the stuff. Here are their proposed Super Bowl uses for the packing material:
· Bubble Wrap Football: The Bubble Wrap football provides hours of in-door pseudo-pigskin passing pleasure while safely protecting your 50″ flat screen.
· Celebration Mat: A layer of Bubble Wrap under your feet might just make you the most poplar fan at your celebration.
· Cold Beer-Soda Cozy: Question: who likes warm beer? Answer: No one. That's why a Bubble Wrap beer/soda cozy is a must have for the big game!
· Bubble Wrap Pom Poms: Do your best Ra-Ra Bubble Wrap-style with Pom Poms that don't just shake but also pop!
· Helmet/Shoulder Pads: Bubble Wrap helmet and shoulder pads that will keep you protected from everything except the occasional taunt of opposing fans.
· Bubble Wrap Place mats: A Bubble Wrap placemat makes quick work of clean up and also provides you some much needed stress release during the occasional fourth and inches.
· Seat Cushion: Seating can become a premium on the night of the big game. When you are condemned to the hardwood floor, having a supply of Bubble Wrap Cushioning will make for a comfortable game.

Download iOS 6.1.2 Final for iPhone, iPad, iPod touch [Direct Link]
Apple has seeded iOS 6.1.2 Final for all iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users
iOS is available for iPhone 5, iPhone 4S, iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPad 4, iPad 3, iPad 2, iPod touch and iPad mini.
iOS 6.1.2 Change-log :
Fixes an Exchange calendar bug that could result in increased network activity and reduced battery life.
Full list of new features below iOS 6.1 :
Among the additions, a few stand out, such as an improved set up wizard that confirms your Apple ID and password for iMessage and FaceTime (you won't see this unless you wipe out your device), improvements to Passbook including a new sample card, a "Voice Dial Only" switch for Siri which prevents it from carrying out any tasks other than calling contacts (quite useful in case you need to call somebody quickly without having Siri launch iTunes and waste a good minute of your time trying to close it off). Surprisingly, there is also a new cellular data option for iTunes, allowing users to download content, including songs and podcasts, off iTunes over 3G or 4G when Wi-Fi isn't available: this is turned off by default; think twice before switching it on unless you have a large data cap. LTE support for 36 more carriers has also been added.
Surely, this release is not the next big thing by any stretch, yet it includes many small improvements that will surely be welcome by some users (especially those who have always wondered why they had to be on a Wi-Fi network in order to download iTunes content). Surely, Apple is already hard at work on an upcoming major upgrade for iOS, although, for the time being, iOS 6.1 will be enough to keep iPhone, iPod touch and iPad users happy.
The main focus of this update is support for additional LTE carriers worldwide, improvements to Siri, which now lets you purchase movie tickets through Fandango in the U.S. Apart from that, the update does not bring with itself anything big. And the oh-so awaited bug fixes which might've been facing since the inception of iOS 6.0.1.

Depending on the trip you choose, your adventure with Wilderness River Adventures will either begin or end with a moderate 10-mile hike— to or from the Colorado River. A qualified guide will meet the group and guide the hike.
Guests hiking to the river should pack their own food and drink. A large sandwich, several power bars, crackers, cheese and oranges are recommended—and two quarts of electrolyte supplement drink are essential.
Guests hiking from the river will have their food and drink provided by Wilderness River Adventures.
Whether you're hiking to or from the river, your daypack should also be able to accommodate at least three additional quarts of water, which will be provided by your guide at the beginning of the hike.
Adjustable hiking poles are helpful for anyone with a prior knee, ankle or hip history. Ace Wraps are also recommended for prior injuries. Additionally, we recommend bringing along some Tylenol or Advil—just in case.
We recommend trimming toenails prior to hike, to make downhill hiking more comfortable. And, of course, wear your hat!
For additional information please refer to the hike-planning section of the National Park Service web page.

Juventus extended their lead over Roma at the top of Serie A to 11 points with a 2-0 win over AC Milan at the San Siro.
Strike pair Fernando Llorente and Carlos Tevez each netted for Antonio Conte's side, but the delight on the away bench at the final whistle was also tinged with relief.
Clarence Seedorf's side dominated the first half and were desperately unlucky to go into the break a goal down when Llorente tapped in Stephan Lichsteiner's cross.
The home side faded in the second period, with Adel Taarabt in particular running out of steam in the Milan midfield after a bright first half.
Tevez then wrapped up the game with a fine strike from 30 yards as the Milan defence stood off the Argentina striker.
In the day's other games, third-placed Napoli dropped two more points in a 1-1 draw at relegation-threatened Livorno while Fiorentina, who are fourth, lost 1-0 at home to Lazio.
Juventus lead with 69 points from 26 games while Roma, who have played a game less, have 58 after their goalless draw at home to Inter Milan on Saturday. Napoli are a further six points behind.
At the San Siro, Juventus could have taken the lead in the 17th minute even though Llorente seemed to have wasted the initial chance by air-kicking Tevez's low cross from the left.
The ball rolled on for the onrushing Lichtsteiner, but Milan goalkeeper Christian Abbiati was able to keep out the Swiss international's shot with an instinctive save with his legs.
Milan then started to dominate, with Taarabt outstanding in the free role.
Milan's best chance of the half came on 26 minutes. Kaka saw his first shot saved by Gianluigi Buffon in the Juve goal, then Leonardo Bonucci somehow cleared the second effort off the line.
Buffon denied Kaka again on 44 minutes but was a relieved man when Andrea Poli blazed over the rebound from close range.
La Vecchia Signora took the lead totally against the run of play moments later.
Adil Rami misjudged a speculative ball forward allowing Claudio Marchisio the chance to run into the space behind the Milan back four.
Tevez then put a pass in the six-yard box which allowed Lichsteiner to cut the ball back for Llorente to sidefoot home the opener.
Juventus were far brighter in the second half, and Abbiati needed to make a low save to his left from Tevez on 47 minutes, after the Juventus striker had outmuscled Rami as the pair competed for a long Andrea Pirlo pass.
Tevez made it two midway through the second half with stunning strike from distance. The Milan defence left the former Manchester City striker alone and he took advantage of space by blasting an effort past Abbiati.
Pirlo almost made it three with 82 minutes on the clock with a floated free-kick that clipped the top of the crossbar, with Abbiati well beaten.
Juventus' Pogba also went close with a late effort that clipped the outside of the far post while Milan substitute Robinho wasted an opportunity to net a consolation in injury-time when he blazed over from close-range.
Carlos Tevez, Juventus - The Argentina striker's partnership with Llorente is really starting to fire, and he was a constant threat up front. His long-distance strike was superb, but equally impressive was the one-touch wall pass that allowed Lichsteiner the chance to cross for Llorente to score the first goal.
Tevez is unlikely to make the Argentina squad for the World Cup this summer - it will be a poorer tournament in Brazil for his absence.
AC Milan: Abbiati 7; Abate 7, Rami 6, Bonera 7, Emanuelson 7; Montolivo 7, De Jong 6; Kaka 6, Poli 5, Taarabt 7; Pazzini 5. Subs: Robinho 6, Saponara 6, Honda 6.
Juventus: Buffon 7; Barzagli 7, Bonucci 5, Caceres 7; Lichtsteiner 7, Pogba 7, Pirlo 7, Marchisio 7, Asamoah 7; Tevez 8, Llorente 7. Subs: Padoin 6, Osvaldo 6, Giovinco 6.

Yep this was a gorgeous spot, i was really glad we went down this little mud road as we was heading north out of Toledo back to Cebu City. Think it was about 3 to 5 minutes out of Toledo on the left. Think it was called a Nature or Water park if you turned up they would have rooms for sure I'd say, could not find them on the net. We went for the Restaurant & beer (which was the best food in that area for sure.) so did not stay the night. Has a pool, bar, sea and sunsets to kill for see my Cebu Philippines set. The bridge to the left is made of concrete made to look like mangroves etc.. looks really cool. I'll be in the area in a week or so, so will get info if i pass again. best regards The Wiz..

Ocean Jasper
When working with semi-precious stones it's easy to get inspired by the material itself. Ocean jasper is a perfect example, with it's varying colours and orb-like patterns. Since finding the ocean jasper slab pictured above, I've been keeping an eye out for similar hued gemstones. The rope necklace on the far left features a beautiful piece of ocean jasper with spotted patterns resembling something of a deep sea nature. Sadly, it's the only one I have at the moment, but I'm on the lookout for more!

Just gorgeous. The colors have me speechless!
I love that you are inspired by nature's art! I was inspired by this image of fractal mineral art a while ago. Maybe this can inspire you too? http://www.designformankind.com/2012/02/fractal-mineral-art/

Analysis: Williams has done a nice job filling in for Le'Veon Bell, but he instantly becomes nothing more than a handcuff next week for Bell, whose suspension is over.
|Sep. 10, 20158:43 PM PT9:43 PM MT10:43 PM CT11:43 PM ET3:43 GMT11:43 AM 北京时间8:43 PM MST10:43 PM EST10:43 PM CT7:43 UAE (+1)23:43 ET2:43 - Playing in place of the suspended Le'Veon Bell, Williams rushed for 127 yards on 21 carries in Thursday's defeat to New England.

Analysis: Carolina tagged Williams Tuesday as a post-June 1 designation, which allows them to save money under this year's salary cap by pushing a portion of Williams' prorated signing bonus into 2016. Williams ran for 6,846 yards and 46 touchdowns in Carolina, but his production dropped off in recent years. Injuries kept him out of 10 games last season and he ran for just 219 yards.

Tartuffe Foolishness and Folly Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Act.Scene.Line). Every time a character talks counts as one line, even if what they say turns into a long monologue. We used Richard Wilbur's translation.
Quote #1
Madame Pernelle:
"Children, I take my leave much vexed in spirit.
I offer good advice but you won't hear it.
You all break in and chatter on and on.
It's like a madhouse with the keeper gone." (1.1.5)
Madame Pernelle considers Orgon's family to be mad; as we find out, however, they "break in and chatter on and on" in attempt to persuade Madame Pernelle that her ideas are, in fact, crazy.
Quote #2
Madame Pernelle:
"These visits, balls, and parties in which you revel
Are nothing but inventions of the Devil.
People are driven half-insane
At such affairs, where noise and folly reign
And reputations perish thick and fast.
As a wise preacher said on Sunday last,
Parties are Towers of Babylon, because
The guests all babble on with never a pause;" (1.1.34)
Madame Pernelle's description of "visits, balls, and parties" is similar to the chaos that Tartuffe has brought to Orgon's house.
Quote #3
"My, what a scene she made, and what a din!
And how this man Tartuffe has taken her in!"
"Her son is worse deceived;
His folly must be seen to be believed." (1.2.3-4)
Dorine's claim is a bit hard to swallow, but seeing is believing in this case; Orgon really is worse deceived.

At 6 p.m. Friday, The Trustees of Reservations is presenting David Buchanan at the Westport Grange Hall to discuss his new book, "Taste, Memory: Forgotten Foods, Lost Flavors, and Why They Matter."
Buchanan's book describes the importance and pleasures of biodiversity and its essential role in sustainable food systems. Buchanan will explore with the audience the fundamental questions of the future of food and farming. How can we strike a balance between preserving the past, maintaining valuable agricultural and culinary traditions, and looking ahead to breed new plants? What place does a cantankerous old pear or too-delicate strawberry deserve in our gardens, farms, and markets? To what extent should growers value efficiency and uniformity over matters of taste, ecology, or regional identity?
Buchanan planted his first gardens in central Washington State more than 20 years ago, after learning about the heritage food movement through the Seed Savers Exchange. He has worked for farms, ranches, and nurseries; operated a landscape design company specializing in native plant restoration; managed an educational farm for a community nonprofit; and helped found the Portland, Maine, chapter of Slow Food USA.
The author oversees production for Old Ocean House Farms in Cape Elizabeth, Maine, where he grows more than 250 varieties of fruit as well as herbs and heirloom vegetables. Currently he is developing a farm winery and planting orchards to produce hard cider through his business Origins Fruit. Books will be available for sale and signing.
The talk at Westport Grange Hall on Main Road is free and public. Contact Nancy Durfee for more information: firstname.lastname@example.com or (774) 488-9604.

Rocka looks awesome. I'm getting him for a multitude of reasons- mask, green-shield thing, epic weapon. Yep.
Furno and Breez, and to a lesser extent Surge, look a little disproportional, because their original helmets are HUGE. Just saying. Also, Furno and Breez- what color scheme?
EVO IS AMAZING. METAL ARM. GIANT GUN. BOSS. Almost a perfect representation of a ROBOT. I like it.
As for Black Phantom... ugh.

Surge seems a little cluttered, but I like some parts he has, so I'll wait to see different angles of him. Evo is cute and compact, if a little uninteresting. Rocka has a cool design, but the constant chains throw it off a bit. And Furno is just being a boss (literally; he's the highest ranked member there) with baller jets and tubes. Lack of a weapon disconcerts me slightly, but give him one of Breez's swords, and problem solved.
Also, is that a green Iron Man head in Black Phantom? Praise the lawd!

As for the Heroes, I'm super happy. Ever since the new build came out I've been hoping for a more classic 1.0 based design. My only complaint is the abs in the armor. I really don't like human features on robots (aside from an overall humanoid look). Also, in the "Catch 'em and Cuff 'em" picture they seem really slim. I like my Heroes with some bulk (Breez is fine since she's a girl). Another complaint are the Cores. Look at Breez in the aformentioned picture. The Hero Core just seems to be jutting out and it doesn't look all that great. But overall the designs are nice and I'm in love with those round should armor pieces.
Villains are also really cool. I'm not really one for mindless animal baddies, so this is a relief from Savage Planet. And despite there being a few animals, they still seem sentient. Well, Jawblade at least. Thornraxx is still 'eh' to me. Toxic Reapa is definitely my fav out of them all.
... And then there's Black Phantom who is just terrible. Fire Lord (who wasn't all that great to begin with) definitely beats Phantom by a long shot. He just seems jumbled up, and I'm not even sure how repositioning the back-spike/arm-things would help his overall appearance. I just hope the final is better.
Personally, I'd love to see these guys animated in the TV show. I think that will look spectacular.
By the way, has anyone noticed the picture of Makuhero City in the word "Breakout"? Looks like there's missiles and rockets being fired at the Factory.

Okay, so, I'm a little confused as to why they are returning to the Glatorian helmets? I was quite fond of the heads used in the Heroes these last two waves. Also, the size difference between Furno/Breez/Rocka and Surge/Evo is irritating. I hope that it isn't too glaring once they're released. The reuse of the 1.0 helmets (and feet in Breez's case) is also a little odd. It's possible they're placeholders, but I am certainly not counting on it. The pauldrons are pretty sweet, as are the new blaster pieces, even though they seem pretty much only useful for one purpose. If they are carried through into other releases, it should be pretty cool, but I don't think that will be the case. With Breez and Surge both having a larger quantity of pieces in their secondary colors, I wish the same had happened to Evo. Lego taunted us with the purple! Other than that he looks pretty sweet, much bulkier than his 2.0 version which I'm a big fan of. The tubes and such on Furno and Rocka are pretty sweet too. Also looking forward to these hand cuff pieces.
As far as the villains are concerned... Black Phantom looks dreadful. I'm not often one to say it, but he is. An overbulky torso with chicken legs far worse than Fire Lord. He seems, to me, to be a less impressive version of Fire Lord, but without the excuse of being an early titan. By the third wave, the sets should not look this shoddy. The innovation in Jawblade and Thornraxx makes me hopeful though. The similarities between Splitface / Toxic Reapa and Thunder / Meltdown does lead me to think that the characters are related storyline-wise. They certainly look better than the Heroes, in my opinion, for the first time since the introduction of Hero Factory.
I'm a little afraid of Hero Factory making large transitions like this frequently. It makes me more hesitant to buy them if the style is going to be inconsistent. I loved the fact that the 2.0 and 3.0 Heroes were so compatible. But I guess the similarities would cause problems if carried on for too long.

The 1.0 feet were probably reused because they look like high heels; I've seen MOCs that use them that way for Breez as well. I don't see the problem with them... they're not really worse than the 2.0 feet, are they? Both have their flaws, and I like that TLG isn't just abandoning the 1.0 foot mold now that a newer one is available. Overall, because of the stylish and well-organized color scheme for the most part, Breez is my favorite of the new heroes, followed by Evo and then Furno in that order.
Also, you're going to have to stop calling Glatorian heads "Iron Man heads" now that there's an actual Iron Man set coming out...
EDIT: And Kalhiki, I think the lights in the Makuhero City picture are searchlights, not missiles. Searchlights make more sense if this is indeed a "prison break" story, especially since there's at least one flying villain. Also, I just realized that if this is a prison break story, it will probably be the first story to take place almost entirely in Makuhero City.

I am kind of disappointed that they are back on the original planet rather than on a different one..
I really like the return of the 1.0 helmets
Splitface strikes me as a gangsta all the way which is cool.

Thornraxx's background is a Bee Hive-esque place - or a jungle, the same place as Breez, with other similar to him/her. Means that Thornraxx is one of a species.
Surge is in somekind of Coliseum or Arena, similar - not exact - to Splitface's.
Evo is in somekind of Jungle, same as Toxic Reapa - There's also something weird on the top right of Toxic Reapa's background.
Jawblade is obviously in somekind of Underwater base... Thing. Furno is there too.
Now here is the thing, Rocka is someplace that looks REALLY similar to the Training Sphere from Trials of Furno, or the Assembly Tower, while Black Phantom seems to be in the Hero Factory or sometype of factory.
They ALL have sometype of black circle thingamajig that looks similar to the entrance to... Somewhere. It can't be something for appearance because Toxic Reapa seems to be standing in it.
My point being is that either this storyline is actually all part of a Training Sphere and isn't happening at all in the real world, explains why there's only rookies and it's all part of a training session and it's a what-if story
That, or either there are artificial created "enviroments" on Makuhero City - which are surprisingly big - and the villains spread destruction there
Or, most possible storyline, 2010-Winter 2011 villains do a Prison Break and somehow get fused together and spread havoc through different planets.
And I noticed something else, in the Group Shot, you can clearly see scratched cells - something like a villain prison.
So yeah, means either I guessed the 2012 storyline without any idea, LEGO stole my idea or it's just a rare coincidence that I was writing a Prison Break story for five months and the 2012 line is a prison break storyline

I'm just never a fan of using double weapons when the joints can't angle down properly (Icarax is another prime example; however, his are reversable with zero difference in stud with or anything of the sort, which is what I did) One would be fine, two is overkill.
It's not a bad set as it is, but it's just weirdly bulky and overarmored, and I don't get why a lot of people seem to like it. Metroid probably has a lot to do with that, though =P

Also, loving the Breakout theme and the new handcuff pieces.
Furno: Meh.
Breez: Love that sword, otherwise a pass.
Suge: His 1.0 helmet doesn't really fit him, but I may get him nonetheless.
Evo: FANTASTIC. I absolutely love how his helmet echoes his 2.0's helmet design. And loving his colour scheme. Really giving off the heavy weapons vibe here, a definite buy.
Rocka: AMAZING. That honeycomb thing on his arm is weird, though. Still - loving his helmet (could do with my love for Kopaka, heh), and all that gold armour, plus his cannon arm. Wow. With those blades it looks like a crossbow. Definite buy.
Thornraxx: Ehh. I have mixed feelings about this guy. I have too many Bionicle/HF bugs already, might pass on this one.
Toxic Reapa: He looks like some fat toad. Nevertheless, he has some odd appeal to him. Loving the green flames. His overall look just gels together very well. A definite buy, my favourite villain.
Jawblade: WOOHOO A SHARK! That alone warrants a purchase from me. I wish they would give him the characteristic shark fin though, a Quaza spike could easily do the job. Still, very nice. Pulls off the shark look really well even with the hands. Looking forward to those lovely recoloured red Furno blades.
Splitface: Wow. Just wow. This guy looks like he walked out of an Iron Man movie. Fantastic. A definite buy.
Black Phantom: Yucks. Puts the other villains to shame. He looks worse than Fire Lord!
I really have to applaud TLG for the use of the Thornax launcher here. Although it's still the same ball and 1 half of the original launcher, I love how they decided to give us a second, new piece to cover it. It really gives a refreshing new look to the launcher, fantastic job.

I see everyone criticizes the Black Phantom. I know, we've seen much much better, but this time he's trying to look like the Grim Reaper or Death, didn't you notice?
I also notice that Furno and company don't have the suffix 4.0, and they look like their original incarnations. Is it posssible they return to base state and from then make another kind of 2.0?

Granted, colors are one thing that's easy to change between preliminary and final versions of a set. But I don't really expect them to put the purple back in his color scheme if they didn't have the intention of keeping it in the first place.
Also, the original purple color (Bright Violet) arguably appeared in sets more recently than the Onu-Matoran-- it was Gahlok Va's Krana color as well as the color of Shadow Kraata in 2003. I don't think it was used in any themes after 2003, though, so it may have been discontinued at the same time as many other colors like the old greys. This is also around the same time TLG introduced the current dark purple color, Medium Lilac, which is seen in Evo 2.0.
What currently bothers me a great deal more than Evo's missing purple is of course the switch from having uniquely-colored Hero Cores and faces in general to having generic face colors and hero core colors. The 2.0 and 3.0 series both were extremely good about echoing the 1.0 Hero Core colors for returning characters. This series in comparison feels like a disappointment in that regard. I'm also a bit sore about returning to transparent head colors, partly because I'd gotten used to solid-colored ones (they're so much prettier on LDD, and also very pure and vibrant in real life), and partly because I'm afraid the new masks for Evo and Rocka might be designed carelessly like Fire Lord's helmet and not allow enough light in for the eyes to look nice and glowy.

Also, I'm hoping that we're getting a new Glat head mold, and that they'll be solid colors. Because that would be great.
Posted 15 September 2011 - 02:58 PM
In fact, I gonna write a realllly long comment.
Gotta love 'em. These might be the best wave of Heroes ever, tough I don't really like the fact that Breez, Surge and Furno use their 1.0 helmets. I just hope it's a placeholder until the finished stuff comes out, but it's really unlikely. Anyways, I really love the action figure sized cuffs, although I doubt they would work properly, due to their shapes, but I'm probably wrong. I really like the new hero core, as it doesn't seem to have those ugly lower thingies that I never liked. It's kinda funny, because in the first version, it was long, second version shorter and third none at all. And by the looks of things, it doesn't seem to stick in place anymore. (Unless it's double peg-ed.) That's a shame, because I really liked that concept where the armor piece holding it has a special...Shape.. For fitting the cores. They don't seem to use the chestplate piece any more, which is another shame. The new boxes? They are awesome. I was really getting tired of that stars canister. It also seems easier to fit in shelves, which is good news for box collectors like me- I am really running out of space.
The new pieces really interest me, especially that upper thornax launcher piece. My dreams of a new launcher is true-(Kinda.)
I'm not sure if I like the sphere-ish armor piece, but a new piece is always welcome. Those new shield pieces are really amazing, and it looks helpful for hive-ish things. Now for separate critics:
The head is my favorite of all of 'em. It looks like is supposed to be a 1.0 version of his 2.0 head. I am really disappointed with the fact that purple is now gone though. Ah well, I guess LEGO couldn't have 2 expensive colors in one theme. I really like that one side bulky and one side skinny concept.
Looks like the worse of the heroes. She looks non-femine more than ever, and those mini rockets are really ugly, and the same thing with the 1.0 feet. I mean, is that even necessary? I'm guessing Lego did that to make her look femine, maybe it works, but it is a pain to the eyes. By the way, does she have another 1.0 feet in her back or is it just me? Wait... Could it be? Back-coverage? By the way, those to who are wondering, her swords are not new. I believe it has been used on a Exo-Force set once.
Oh yes. I really like that under-water theme. Turbines, pipes and all..... I really like the new white added into his color scheme. The only thing that I don't like, is, that spear thing on the launcher. It doesn't really fit.
Good enough for my eyes. Gotta love that blue weapon. Although, the villain "Core" piece sticking out of his shoulders worry me a little.
OHHH YESSSS. Trans-neon thornax launcher piece? LOVE. Bow-ish launcher? LOVE. Medieval concept? LOVE. Ammo clip? LOVE. Can this theme get any better?
Now for the villains:
More non- humanoids? YES! They really have gotten creative with the villains this time. Sharks with fists? Midget corroder? Bugs with only two legs? Awesome.
Shark with fists? Awesome. This is like, the best shark in LEGO history I've ever seen. Still, it has flaws.
Toxic reapa:
This is the most flawless figure I've seen in a long time. Transparent armor pieces really see useful for me, and those system tanks really impress me, of course, I've seen people that doesn't agree.
Meh. Another thunder.
This is my second favorite villain of this line. He looks flawful, true, but the design really impresses me. Besides, look at those pieces! Nice insectoid head, Gorast wings, and Waspix's piece that is used for his extra arms, and orange spikes. Wait did I mention:
Black phantom: AHHHH! Another Fire Lord? Actually, I was expecting another Fire Lord like I said, but this is.. I actually liked the spikes on Fire Lord's head, but this? I mean, LEGO, can we get a big baddie that's not humanoid?
Posted 15 September 2011 - 04:08 PM

What do you mean "expensive colors"? I'm pretty sure metallic colors in general are much more expensive than Medium Lilac. And there are several of those in Hero Factory.
Medium Lilac may be more expensive than the more basic LEGO colors like Bright Red and Bright Yellow.

Drug Control:
U.S. Nonmilitary Assistance to Colombia Is Beginning to Show Intended Results, but Programs Are Not Readily Sustainable
GAO-04-726: Published: Jul 2, 2004. Publicly Released: Aug 3, 2004.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-4268
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Since 2000, the U.S. government has provided a total of $3.3 billion to Colombia, making it the fifth largest recipient of U.S. assistance. Part of this funding has gone toward nonmilitary assistance to Colombia, including programs to (1) promote legitimate economic alternatives to coca and opium poppy; (2) assist Colombia's vulnerable groups, particularly internally displaced persons; and (3) strengthen the country's democratic, legal, and security institutional capabilities. GAO examined these programs' objectives, reported accomplishments, and identified the factors, if any, that limit project implementation and sustainability. We also examined the challenges faced by Colombia and the United States in continuing to support these programs.
Although U.S. nonmilitary assistance programs have begun to produce some results, individual projects reach a relatively small number of beneficiaries, face implementation challenges, and may not be sustainable. For example, projects designed to promote legitimate economic alternatives to illicit crop cultivation have helped about 33,400 families. However, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) estimated in 2000 and 2001 that as many as 136,600 families needed assistance, and these projects face implementation obstacles, such as difficulty marketing licit products and operating in conflictive areas. U.S. assistance to Colombia's vulnerable groups has provided support to many internally displaced persons, but these program beneficiaries do not receive all of the assistance they need, and there is no systematic way for beneficiaries to transition from emergency aid to longer-term development assistance. The U.S. government has made some progress toward facilitating democratic reform in Colombia, but projects face certain obstacles, such as limited funding and security constraints. Despite the progress made by the three nonmilitary assistance programs, Colombia and the United States continue to face long-standing management and financial challenges. The Colombian government's ability to contribute funds for nonmilitary assistance programs is limited by a number of domestic and foreign factors, and Colombia's longstanding conflict poses additional challenges to implementing and sustaining nonmilitary assistance efforts. The U.S. government has not maximized the mutual benefits of its nonmilitary assistance programs and has not established a mechanism for vulnerable groups to transition from emergency aid to longer-term assistance. Furthermore, the Departments of State and Justice and USAID have not established timelines for achieving their stated objectives, nor have State and USAID developed a strategy to turn programs over to the Colombian government or to the private sector.
Recommendation for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In July 2004, (DRUG CONTROL:U.S. Nonmilitary Assistance to Colombia is Beginning to Show Intended Results, but Programs Are Not Readily Sustainable, GAO-04-726) we recommended that the Secretary of State, in consultation with the Attorney General and the Administrator, USAID, develop a detailed plan for improving systematic coordination among the three nonmilitary assistance programs in Colombia. This plan should include a timeline for achieving stated objectives, future funding requirements, and a strategy for sustaining the results achieved. In 2004, after the issuance of our report, USAID revised its alternative development strategy for the period 2006-2008, to promote improved coordination and sustainability of the results achieved. USAID strategy documents specifically noted that the GAO report highlighted the need for USAID initiatives to be better coordinated and sustainable, and that the revised strategy would address these concerns. Ongoing audit work in 2008 on USAID Colombia programs has confirmed that State, USAID, and Justice have taken steps to improve coordination on non-military programs. Additionally, audit work has confirmed that USAID has taken steps to improve the sustainability of its programs in Colombia.
Recommendation: Because of Colombia's prolonged conflict and the limited financial resources available for nonmilitary assistance programs, the Secretary of State, in consultation with the Attorney General and the Administrator, USAID, should develop a detailed plan for improving systematic coordination among the three nonmilitary assistance programs in Colombia. The plan should include clearly defined objectives and future funding requirements for the programs; a timeline for achieving the stated objectives; and a strategy for sustaining the results achieved, including transitioning program responsibility to the government of Colombia and the private sector. Particular attention should be placed on establishing a coordination mechanism between State and USAID to facilitate internally displaced persons' transition from emergency aid to longer-term assistance. The Secretary of State should provide this information to the Congress for consideration in the fiscal year 2006 appropriations cycle.
