Covidien Falls 7% Despite "Solid Quarter"
Shares of medical company Covidien (COV) are down nearly 7% this afternoon, despite it reporting fiscal second-quarter adjusted earnings that rose from the year-ago period and beat estimates. International sales were up 6%.
Following the results, Richard Newitter at Leerink Swann Research delivered an upbeat assessment of the quarterly performance:
COV delivered another solid quarter of organic constant currency (cc) growth performance (+5.5%) and EPS upside in what continues to be a challenging overall healthcare utilization environment. Sales came in a touch below our expectations mostly due to a steeper-than-expected FX headwind. Pharma sales outperformance countered underperformance within Devices/Supplies, and we suspect that investors will likely focus on some incremental weakness out of Vascular on the call. Still, organic growth across most divisions was generally solid and op-ex controls this quarter were impressive. This was an overall solid performance, in our view, and one of the better 1Q prints in large-cap MedTech this quarter. Maintain Outperform.
But as Dow Jones Newswires' Joseph Walker notes, sales below estimates -- even if just a touch -- could have been enough to spook investors:
The medical-device and pharmaceutical company's fiscal second-quarter sales grew 5.3% to $3.1 billion, but were just shy of analysts' expectations of $3.12 billion. While the miss wasn't particularly big, it was the first time Covidien had disappointed on the top line since July of last year, according to Thomson Reuters.
"They've been an absolute machine in beating the top and bottom lines," said Glenn Novarro, an RBC Capital Markets analyst. "Coming in slightly below on revenue is going to shock the investor base because they've been consistently beating expectations for so long."
What's more, Covidien is planning to spin-off its pharmaceutical business later this year, leaving only the medical-devices side of things; it could be investors are especially jittery about any weakness in the latter.

Reviews of this property
We had an amazing stay at this lovely apartment. It is in the perfect location for all the attractions, you could walk everywhere! There is a supermarket at the end of the street which is very convenient. Edwin was very helpful and ensured we could contact him if there were any problems (which there weren't!). Overall we had a fantastic stay and would recommend this apartment to anyone visiting Amsterdam and will hopefully be back to stay again soon!
Had an amazing stay at this apartment. Was very central and the perfect location for all the attractions and there is a supermarket just across the street. Tram comes to the end of the street so getting around Amsterdam was very convenient. People were very friendly, and Edwin was very helpful letting us in and making sure we could contact him if we had any queries. The apartment is lovely and spacious with everything that you would need. It was still quiet despite being close to bars. Overall we had a very lovely stay. Would definitely recommend!! :)
The beautiful apartment is located in the heart of amsterdam, clean and equiped with everything you need - it was just perfect for us! Edwin, Ben & Rich are great hosts and made our stay very enjoyable. We would come back again and time!
Wonderful apartment exactly as pictured! It is in the heart of the action on any going out night which is exactly where we wanted to be. Anywhere in the city is at max a 20 minute walk and it is right next to the floating flower market, a grocery store, tram stop and the best herring in the city! Location could not be better. The key pickup and dropoff was incredibly simple and courteous. The stairs give you an idea of what a canal house is like -- think climbing a tilted ladder for how steep they are. Aside from the steps, the interior is worth every penny. We loved looking out on the action with a glass of wine then going down to join them! Since the majority of the noise is a few doors down, it was not a problem sleeping with the white noise even with the windows open (though we are used to downtown Chicago noise). I cannot say enough about the very tasteful decorations and the bed was also quite comfortable. Towels were provided.
Nice appartment in the center. It is not really quiet during the night. A lot of honking cars.
There is only a sleeping couch which is not really comfortable. But very friendly atmosphere and very clean.
What a fantastic apartment! Beautiful decor, great service and the location couldn't have been better!
We had a brilliant time and would recommend this place to anyone and everyone looking for a lovely place to stay in the centre of town, but away from the touristy districts.
Thanks again and we'll be back for sure!
Beautiful appartment very well located ! If i come back to Amsterdam, it would be there !
Great place, best location ever! A bit noisy on the streets and scary stairs but the apartment was really nice! Thank you Edwin for everything, we hope we'll be back soon.
Edwin (the new host) was very nice and accommodating (he kept us all in the afternoon of the last day and nobody came after us, instead of having to check out at 13h).
The apartment is conveniently located 2 steps from Flower Market, close to (almost) all tram lines. If rain does not get involved, you can do almost everything on foot.
Caution however for noise sensitive people, this is a lively street with many bars and clubs .. and the stairs are very steep!
Rather for a young couple who want to celebrate then.
Otherwise the apartment perfectly fits the description and we had a pleasant stay.
Edwin (le nouvel hôte) a été très agréable et accomodant ( il nous a permis de rester toute l'après-midi du dernier jour comme personne ne venait après nous, au lieu de devoir faire le check out à 13h).
L'appartement est très bien situé, à 2 pas du marché aux fleurs, proche de (quasiment) toutes les lignes de tram. Si la pluie ne s'en mêle pas, on peut faire presque tout à pied.
Attention néanmoins pour les personnes sensibles au bruit, il s'agit d'une rue très vivante avec de nombreux bars et boîtes.. et les escaliers sont très raides !
Plutôt destiné à un couple jeune ayant envie de faire la fête donc.
Sinon l'appartement correspond parfaitement à la description et nous y avons passé un agréable séjour.
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone
- Secure payment via SSL encryption

The poo that escapes from a baby's nappy and gets smeared all over everything, like the baby, the baby's clothes, the car seat, the high chair, the floor, the walls, you, the dog, and so on.
Honey, can you come and help me clean up the escapoo? I think we'll have to burn these clothes and hose down the change table, me, the baby, the wall, the floor, etc.

Here is a good guide to reading up on different types of table saws, their pros and cons: http://www.woodworkingtalk.com/f12/t...t-1-3-a-43321/
What you have listed is a portable job site saw. Generally, it's good to use those when you are in transit alot, you need to toss a table saw into the bed of your truck and move on to the next site. If you are planning on having it be more stable, get a more stable table saw. More sturdy = safer, more predictable cuts, more accurate cuts.
Here is a good one that is in the same price range: http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1...583-_-11210757
Much more sturdy, much better fence system. It will take up much more space though. If space is of prime importance and you don't care about the accuracy of the cuts (or the safety of the saw) then you are better off going with a $100-200 bench top saw.
Personally, I went with a cheapo $150 bench top saw to start with. I saw the folly in my actions (and cheapskateness) and went the much further route and now got a steel city cabinet saw: http://www.toolking.com/steel-city-3...AID=1410675964
But, to each their own.

I've enjoyed using this knife at work for awhile now, but I want to try others and can't keep 'em all!
All in all it's in good shape, just the usual wear from everyday use, very minor marks and tiny scratches etc. Comes with a Nenox saya.
Asking $380 shipped worldwide.
Okay $360 now.
Looks like a solid price on that knife. If it only were the quince wood handle!
I'm withdrawing this for now.

This is a serious but entertaining book that examines Da Vinci's contributions to math, science and art and his ability to link the three elements."
Kolleen Guy, associate professor of history
- "Inferno" by Chuck Bowden with photos by Michael Berman
"This book is brilliant. Between the spectacular pictures and Bowden's powerful prose, I couldn't put this book down. Bowden's words and Berman's photos mesh to tell the story of a place that is incredibly desolate and that few care about, but that has a rich texture and deep beauty, if you care to look. They examine the southern deserts of Arizona and together create a unique view of one of the most inhospitable places in the Southwest."
- "Who Guards the Guardians and How: Democratic Civil-Military Relations" By Thomas Bruneau and Scott Tollefson

- "Leavin' a Testimony: Portraits from Rural Texas" by Patsy Cravens
"Sometimes the most interesting places to travel are close to home. In southeastern Texas, there are dozens of small communities that have persisted despite poverty and pain. Cravens has collected these peoples' fascinating stories and photographed folks in these communities. The strength and wisdom of their lives comes out in full force in their own words. This is a book that will inspire."

Rosalind Horowitz, professor of discourse and literacy studies
- "The Mind At Work: Valuing the Intelligence of the American Worker" by Mike Rose
"The American worker such as the welder, the carpenter or the cook at a local diner may be regarded as having low intelligence. Rose skillfully articulates why the American worker may be highly intelligent and have a mind we have rarely considered in the psychology of learning and motivation."
- "The Art of Possibility" by Rosamund Stone Zander and Benjamin Zander
"This book promises to open your mind to the possiblities that surround you but may not be so visible. It offers new visions of the world and life."
- "Gesture and Thought" by David McNeal
"This book presents a conceptualization of gesture as imagery and an integral part of the communication system, synchronized with languge rather than simply a redundant attribute of speech. McNeal resides at The University of Chicago and is one of the leading experts in the world on the human gesture."
- "The Woman's Retreat Book: A Guide to Restoring, Rediscovering, and Reawakening Your True Self -- In a Moment, an Hour, a Day or a Weekend" by Jennifer Louden
"This book is a winner for women wanting that escape away from spouse, lover, children, friends, work and, above all, stress."
- "Benjamin Franklin: In Search of a Better World" by Page Talbott
"Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) was one of the most remarkable figues in American history -- an author, investor, statesman, diplomat and model for posterity of how to live life as an American."
- "Maimonides" by Sherwin B. Nuland
"Maimonides was a Rabbinic scholar reknowned for his commentaries on the Bible. He lived as a Jew in a Muslim world, and was a physician and philosopher who attempted to reconcile scientific knowledge with religious faith.

- "A General Theory of Love" by Thomas Lewis et al
"A book describing how the brain works and how our environment changes its shape.

I live on Cujoe Key. The last time I was in Ben Franklin in November they didn't have much fabric. The Seam Shoppe is about it. Cindy, the owner is very nice. Their new store, across from the old store, is nice.
To see Key Dear go to No Name Key. You can see them any time of the day, the best time is in the morning or dusk. You have to go to Big Pine Key to get to No Name Key. The No Name Pub has great smoked fish dip and wonder pizza. I have not been to the Big Pine Key Flea Market in a while. They should be starting back up.
Love Bahia Honda State Park. The best beach in the keys.
Somewhere close to the Theater of the Sea, which is nice, is a great craft place I forget the name. Sorry.
Hope you enjoy your time in the keys.

PlayBook: The Last Song I'll Ever Write For You
<p>In the final Playbook to appear on Playboy.com, we look back and some of things we probably shouldn't have gotten away with. </p>
"If you're going to act crazy, you have to get paid for it or else they're going to lock you up" – HST
Maybe so. Perhaps the Good Doctor was right. Over the last year and half we've shared in some serious flights of fancy; endured the early onset of many melodramatic mood swings and written what at times amounted to the by-product of a series of psychosomatic dreams. We've spoken about sports in the strangest of terms, using all sorts of allegories and unintelligible tongues and spiraling tangents, exhausting, at times egregiously, all forms of euphemism and exaggeration. But we've asked no quarter of anyone and none was ever given. We learned absolutely no lessons and admitted to no mistakes (we admitted to one mistake). We gambled away a small fortune on professional football and took great pleasure in rolling over the double line between fact and fiction, between fandom, sterile sportswriter and feral dog. We never saw the need for a distinction between the three and were never really sure where that line even was. We were never quite ready to admit that there was ever such a thing as having too much Fun. The fat, for us, was always in the fire…
In short: We rode it hard and put it away wet. We acted crazy and got paid for it. And "if we shadows have offend, think but this and all is mended…gentles, do not reprehend, if you pardon, we will mend."
The following people and organizations probably deserve an apology; we've pulled no punches:
Over the course of 78 weeks, I…
- Explicitly declared Sportswriters, to be a "crude people by nature…a rude and brainless subculture of fascist drunks."
Called Philip Rivers, among other things, "a goat", and suggested the San Diego Chargers must be "routinely surprised" to discover that they are in fact a professional football team.
Called Tim Tebow a "greased-up, God-fearing little weasel."
Suggested Ndamukong Suh was a "violent creature by nature", incapable of displaying "normative social behavior for two straight weeks."
Accused David Stern of uttering the least intelligible excuse in sports history.
Suggested that perhaps the Walrus was right.
Called Mark Sanchez a "dirty little worm," whose career has thus far been a "sad, strange experiment" resulting from the actions of a "cruel and humorless God."
Compared watching the American electoral system to a football game "where the rules always change and the game never ends. The fans always watch and they can never go home. Like a Super Bowl stuck in a scoreless tie, heading into 22 consecutive overtimes and on all the time."
Offended the delicate sensibilities of our Canadian brethren by deeming curling to be barely a sport and a "ritualistic bore."
Suggested the Carmelo Anthony wouldn't be comfortable "selling plastic patio furniture in rural backwater locales like Colfax, Indiana."
Used an inordinate amount of analogies at cross purposes to emphasize the disjuncture and mock transparency employed by baseball commissioner Bud Selig's office in regards to the steroid issue.
Suggested that Newt Gingrich was an "ugly person who speaks in tongues."
Accused the NCAA of shameless profiteering at the expense of "doe-eyed student athletes."
Accused Tim Tebow of being a "God-fearing, greased up little weasel"…again.
Outlined, in detail, why a mandate like "Kill the Head and the body will die" was a heavy trip to lay on "super mutant…defensive ends…with an already healthy predisposition to maim."
Referred to Starting Pitchers as "geeks, stats junkies and bores, aberrations from the Primordial ooze."
Really went off the rails with a story about "swimming naked at night with two beautiful albino tigers."
Accused LeBron James of being a "serial choke artist" and was immediately forced to issue a "stat-laden, gun-point apology."
Suggested that Roger Clemens "lied to Congress but at the time was sufficiently surrounded by more prolific, albeit less talented liars that his lies would never be proven in a court of law."
Accused to IOC of among other things, sanctioning "sweat soaked, shit slinging orgies."
Suggested that a "balaclava-clad" Santanio Holmes staged a coup in the New York Jets locker room which in retrospect, is probably giving him more credit than he deserves.
Shamelessly misquoted, in fact wholly fabricated, an entire press conference given by Orlando Magic GM Rob Hennigan.
Accused UNC of "either complying with or orchestrating a systematic series of graded shell games" and the NCAA of turning the other cheek for fear of losing advertising revenue.
Made light of Bartolo Colon's girlish figure.
Accused the entire town of Punxsutawny, Pennsylvania, of being hopelessly addicted to "bloody backwater land-beaver wrestling" and then likened the seedy nature of the 'sport' to the Cowboys/Giants Opening night game.
Suggested that watching the above game was like more painful than having "woodchucks slowly gnaw at your arm for eight or nine hours at a time."
Made countless derogatory references to Brandon Weeden's (in)ability to play professional football.
Accused Andrew Luck of being a "stupid if not totally dumb little boy who simply cannot manage to stay on his feet for more than four or five seconds at a time" and/or of being a "convalescent with a crippling neurological disorder that makes him flop around like a rag doll for no good reason at all," neither of which I posited were appropriate thing for the number one overall draft pick to be.
Accused Jared Allen of being "brutal and completely unkind," and a likely candidate to" foam at the mouth on [his] best days."
Suggested that NFL management and owners were so cheap that they probably called the referees collect after the now infamous Golden Tate incident in Seattle
Accused David Stern of emitting "toxic spew."
Likened George Steinbrenner to any one of the following: Satan, Nero, and/or Robespierre but posited that Yankees were better with a tyrant than his toddlers.
Suggested that Tom Brady, as the result of an unknown affliction, possibly contracted by the St. Louis Rams, "sometimes, just stands motionless on the field, in a stoned silence, looking around all wide-eyed and confused by the succeeding noise and calamity, and then, after a few seconds, when he realizes that he's holding some kind of large leather egg in his hands, calmly places it at his feet and sits cross-legged in the grass, waiting on this strange new world to come forth and explain itself."
Said a lot of really terrible and untrue things about Mitt Romney.
Accused the NHL and NHLPA of succumbing to existential crisis.
Explicitly Called Jeff Loria a "Bastard" (in the pejorative sense of the word, not the literal, though, upon inspection, which I didn't care to undertake, the latter may also be true) and suggested that he pisses on the metaphorical island of ashes he's secluded himself on after burning all his bridges.
Suggested the TSA is prone to unprovoked acts of serious violence on unsuspecting clientele.
Likened David Stern to a "swamp creature" who "emerges from the muck to terrorize…small Midwestern basketball towns." In the same paragraph I called him a "lame duck," a "rabid animal" and a "damned diseased dog." Further down, I called him a "silly old man" and accused him of uttering the "least intelligible excuse in sports history." Also accused him public castration (again) and of rigging the NBA Lottery. Also of "burying bodies" (which is actually a verbatim quote from him, not me, though given what I've already said about him I can see why there might be confusion.)
More on Stern (from the same column): I called him a "hypocrite," and "Bass-Aakwards Hillbilly" and suggested that he was born in a "wasteland" and that his offspring, including Gary Bettman, would likely be considered "hellspawn."
I guess I implicitly referred to Gary Bettman as being "hellspawn" (though I hyperlinked the word out to a picture of him, so, on second thought, that reference was probably explicit.)
Accused my editor of keeping a "massive bullwhip under her desk" and of having a predisposition towards violence when deadlines are not met.
Pretty much wrote the book on the mating habits of an otherwise non-existent animal.
Predicted a series of unlikely and unflattering scenarios for all the coaches fired on Black Monday.
Descended into a depressive state, a crippling football funk, in which I managed to go 1-7 betting against the spread in the playoffs before rising, like a Phoenix from the ashes to clean up at the Super Bowl.
And finally as if it were meant to be, came full circle and accused sports writers of gross negligence, of blurring fact and fiction semi-intentionally in their reportage of the Manti T'eo myth.
And that's that. Thanks for playing along, for buying the ticket and taking the ride. It's been fun.

Wine Man,
I'm going to be moving back to the Hillsdale / Branch County area in the next few weeks. I plan to have cells / queens this summer. Where are you located? Queens are med. free and are reared only from hardy overwintered stock and feral colonies.
I have contacts with other queen rearing beekeepers in Isabella and Lapeer counties if that is any closer to you.
MSU has its Ag. and Natural Resources (ANR) meeting the first weekend in March. I am part of the planning committee and will have a booth set up for queen rearing with lots of neat stuff.

Federal chemist reveals Spice ingredients
Alcohol, acetone, ammonia, acid among chemicals in illegal product
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - A chemist with the Drug Enforcement Administration explained Thursday what is in the synthetic marijuana known as Spice.
Roger Ely, the DEA's supervisory chemist, spoke with KRDO NewsChannel 13 from his office in San Francisco.
Ely said alcohol, acetone, ammonia and hydrochloric acid are commonly used in the product that has been blamed for three deaths and more than 200 injuries in Colorado.
However, Ely said the concentration of chemicals is more dangerous than the chemicals themselves.
"Just because they're using ammonia and hydrochloric acid and stuff like that, that's not bad," he said. "Most of your drugs are using those types of things, or things a lot worse. The difference (is) that a pharmaceutical company is going to make sure that none of (it) carries over into the final product. We can't always say that here, because we have no idea really how pure it was or the conditions it was made under."
Ely said it's nearly impossible for chemists to keep track of Spice ingredients because manufacturers keep changing the formula. The number of formulas has risen from eight when Spice arrived in the U.S., to 57 this spring, he said.
Helping manufacturers adapt quickly, said Ely, is that the DEA is required to publish drug research in the Federal Register, a document that is available to the public.
"Manufacturers would know somewhere, probably between 45 and 90 days ahead of time, what the next thing is going to be that's going to be controlled," he said. "And they would stop using it, and they would immediately go out and try to find something else to substitute for it. How they're figuring out what to substitute, we have no idea."
Ely said formulas of Spice are made in commercial labs in China, and were first seen in Europe in 2008. In the U.S., the product initially appeared on the campus of the University of Kansas, he said, then among soldiers in Georgia. Ely said initial reports were that users appeared to be intoxicated and the product didn't show up in standard drug tests.
"Can you imagine having to do 57 different drug tests and test for specific chemicals in each test?" said Ely.
Ely said Spice arrives to distributors as a powder, and that they add alcohol, acetone and flavoring to create a liquid that is sprayed on leaves and herbs.
"It's a very haphazard, unsanitary method of application," he said. "A packet of Spice could have little or no compound, or it could have a heavy amount. We still haven't determined what amount constitutes an actual dose that will affect someone."
Ely said Spice manufacturing developed from legitimate medical research that studied how it affects appetite, mood, memory and pain sensation.

Griz football player arrested on felony drug charge, suspended from team
MISSOULA, Mont. - A University of Montana football player was booked in jail early Sunday morning on a drug charge, and has been dismissed from the team.
According to the Missoula County jail roster 20-year-old Trevor Poole from Spokane was taken to jail around 4 a.m. for felony criminal possession of dangerous drugs.
Poole, a red shirt sophomore is listed as an offensive tackle for the Griz. He played in Saturday's home game against Idaho State.
UM Athletic Director Kent Haslam told NBC Montana Sunday night, that Poole is indefinitely suspended from the football team.
"Obviously it's disappointing, we want people to make good decisions all the time," said Haslam.
That punishment is according to the UM's Student Athlete Conduct Code. A felony arrest is a 'Category I Violation.'
"When any student athlete is charged with a felony that is categorized as a Category I offense, and that student athlete is suspended indefinitely or dismissed from the team, and that is the case here too," Haslam said.
Haslam said he got a call from head football coach Mick Delaney early Sunday morning about the incident. Then the Athletic Conduct Team was notified and made the decision. Haslam said he was also in close contact with UM President Royce Engstrom.
There are four drug related arrests listed on Missoula County's Daily Public Report from overnight. All four occurred in the area of Disco Bloodbath III, a Halloween party off Highway 93.
The jail roster lists Missoula Police as making the arrest. The police department is referring all questions about the incident to the Missoula County Attorney's Office.
Poole is scheduled to appear in Missoula County Justice Court Monday afternoon.
NBC Montana will keep you updated.

Lovely runners, really like the Christmas. I remember having to have all my stuff in storage when I got married and we try to move all my stuff into his house with his stuff.

Then we bought a new house lost the son (Move do his own space) and made sure I got a space for sewing and crafts. Have been a happy quilter ever since.

... and got some fresh hot waffles, shaped like the Cathedral with melted chocolate on, and some delicious Stollen. It was a one hour drive to Vaals / Holland. A cute little town. We had dinner at Mo'ment, an interesting little resturant. Duck was the speciality. Matt had huge ribs and H a vegetarian lasagna. Hotel Kasteel Bloemendal Vaals was where we stayed and it was lovely. 18C restored manor house, and we were in the renovated wing.
... in Trier. I am anxious to see if I can find the apartment building where I lived when my Dad was stationed there in 1957. I never forgot the address or its general location. Stay tuned.
The weather has been staying mild and promises to stay so for a while longer. We are looking forward to our trip south and back to some of the old haunts (especially the gasthofs). We will photo some of the finer culinary delights.
We pick up the travel blog having said farewell to Patty and Bob in Amsterdam and following a nice walk in Rembrandt Park by the hotel on Monday morning, we were picked up by our dear Dutch friend of 42 years - Puck and Ben Roncken who served in Moose Jaw in the early 70's where Ben was an exchange instructor pilot.

VIDEO: Watch Glass Explode!
This really cool video shows slow motion footage of the interesting properties of Prince Rupert's Drop. I see some correlation to work hardening in metalworking operations.
This really cool video, in which Destin from Smarter Every Day explains the scientific process of glass hardening when it is cooled quickly, reminded me of the effects work hardening has in metalworking operations. The video demonstrates (with high speed, slow motion footage) how putting glass that is in a molten state into cold water forms what is referred to as Prince Rupert's Drop—a tadpole-shaped formation that can withstand a blow from a hammer on the bulb end, but becomes explosive with only slight damage to the tail end.
As with the bulb portion of the glass, metals are also strengthened as they are hardened. But this is not necessarily a desired effect. Often during machining, early passes of the cutting tool can harden the surface of the workpiece to the point that the tool is not equipped to cut the material effectively in later passes. Some alloys are more likely to harden than others, and shops need to be prepared to handle the situation. The article "Machining Exotics" details how a shop can adjust to the challenges of smaller-run parts that use difficult to machine materials, including the challenges brought on by work hardening. "Considerations for Machining Exotics" helps to define exotic materials through specification of their excellent wear characteristics, durability and service life in high heat, extreme cold or corrosive environments. But this article also notes additional undesirable effects of work hardening.

A progmantic is someone who is a romantic at heart but has a realistic view of love and goes about finding it in a pragmantic way, aware that fairytale romances are not readily available these days.
I'm a modern-day Sleeping Beauty, I don't believe Prince Charming will bring me back to life with a kiss (unless he's a first-aid worker); and in my experience the prince turns into a toad when you kiss him rather than the other way around. My idea of being good in bed isn't lying in bed for a hundred years waiting for Prince Charming to ride up on a white horse but I'll be happy if he turns up tomorrow in a convertible with red roses, chocolate and gorgeous stilettoes to take me out to dinner!
I'm a progmantic.

Not sure where to post this thread really, so I chose soft props as he has most of them complete. Mods, please feel free to move.
It took a heck of a lot of work to get the mannequin to the correct size and to get a pose that would show off the costume properly. I wanted the pose to be laid back but kind of threatening at the same time. I think it worked well. It will look better when the remaining pieces are fitted.
He does have different coloured side pockets and extra ammo pouches, one of them has the stud fastener as seen on the SE Fett.

Snuggies for dogs

I just told my husband about these yesterday. He wondered if they realize dogs come with built in blankets called fur.

I have yet to talk to anyone who actually owns a snuggie. Any one? anyone?

I thought a snuggie would be a good idea except my back would get cold. Then I realized I could turn it around to keep my back warm ... but what would I have? A robe of course! No need to spend the $$ on a snuggie when I already have a robe.

OMG! Ok, I live on the tundra with four dogs, and would NEVER put one of these on my dogs! That's just plain silly! And, for those of you who put your small dogs in strollers, did you know your dog can walk farther than YOU in 1/2 the time? Let 'em use their legs and walk! And doggie boots? Unless you're in the city, and your dog is walking on sidewalks with salt, Just say NO to doggie boots! Stop trying to humanize your dogs! Ok...taking a breath..dusting myself off, and jumping OFF my soapbox now. >snicker<

I may or may not be a Snuggie owner, but I do not own a dog or a dog Snuggie... if your house is so cold your fur-covered dog needs a coat, I think it may be too cold.

Our dog is our child! We have no kids. The only thing that we go overboard with is dog toys for him. If our dog gets cold, he will drag one of our throw blankets and curl up on it. Or if our bedroom door is open, he will get under the covers. He knows how to survive. LOL! Not wasting money on something useless. But then again, I live like a pauper day to day so I can live like a queen on vacations!
- Wednesday, September 9, 2009 at 5:07:00 AM MDT
first of all i have a little dog, and when i take her outside to go to the bathroom,in the winter time, she shakes because she is too cold. Not all dogs are going to need something extra to keep them warm but some do like a chihuahua. i can't believe people who don't like them, care enough to blog about them.

2012 Grand Theft Auto V Planes found in Max Payne 3?
Grand Theft Auto V - General News | @ 01:20 PM MDT | By Ash_735
This hit the web a few days ago but I wanted to wait until the PC version of Max Payne 3 was released to get a good screenshot of it. Now, hidden away on one of the Multi Player maps of the game, you'll find a board with a few pictures of airplanes on it, nothing major right? But wait, don't they look a bit familiar?
Check the Forum Thread for more details. Here are the screenshots from the Grand Theft Auto V trailer in full resolution to compare more easily:

Digging deep for a Victorian spade - Friday, 22 October 2010
Do you have great-granddad's old spade lurking in your garden shed – or are you a dedicated collector of Victorian memorabilia? The hunt is on to track down an authentic spade or shovel that will be used to perform the honours at Fort Nelson's official ground-breaking ceremony.
Britain's oldest museum – the Royal Armouries – would be delighted to hear from anyone who is happy to lend a spade or shovel, dating from Queen Victoria's reign.
A £3.5m project started in August to transform the Victorian Fort – currently home to the national collection of cannon and artillery – into a visitor attraction fit for the 21st Century.
The spade or shovel will be used to turn the "first turf" on November 3 at the Fort on Portsdown Hill, near Fareham.
Museum Director Peter Armstrong said, "Building methods have obviously changed, radically, since the Fort was built in the 1860s to protect Portsmouth from feared invasion by the French. We thought that using a Victorian spade, rather than a modern shiny example, would be symbolic of our aim to refurbish the Fort in a sympathetic but exciting way.
"We would be delighted if anyone who has a spade would get in touch – it can be anyone from a private individual to custodians of larger collections."
If you can help, contact Joss Loader on 07838 379599.
The ground-breaking ceremony is the latest milestone in the project, which saw national building company Mansell awarded a £2.25m contract in the summer to build visitor facilities and a breathtaking new glass-fronted gallery at the free heritage attraction.
The project – part-funded by a Heritage Lottery Fund grant of almost £2m – will see the Victorian Fort refurbished sympathetically into a modern visitor attraction, complete with state-of-the art education facilities including a "classroom of the future".
- A new, 355sq m, free visitor centre and facilities for Fort Nelson and Portsdown Hill outside the walls of the Fort, containing an information and welcome centre, larger shop and new café for use by visitors and passing traffic, cyclists and walkers.
- A dramatic new 450 sq m entrance gallery displaying the most dramatic and iconic cannon in the collection including Saddam Hussein's infamous Supergun.
- A state-of-the-art education centre and facilities, including a new 'classroom of the future' and dedicated entrance.
- Re-siting the main visitor entrance so that visitors cross a dramatic original drawbridge to enter the fort and provision of a lift between both levels of the Fort to greatly enhance access for all.
- New parking facilities next to the site, providing easy access for the first time to the famous Nelson Monument.

Notes to editorsFacilities will be somewhat limited at the Fort on Trafalgar Day, as electricity supplies will be switched off, as a planned part of the £3.5m project to transform Fort Nelson into a state-of-the-art museum. The main Redan barrack block building and tunnels will be closed, but visitors will still be able to access parade, ramparts, ditch and Artillery Hall. All daily events will still go ahead, and the refreshments kiosk will be offering a basic service (the cafe will be shut). The museum will close at 4pm that day.
- The Royal Armouries at Fort Nelson houses the national collection of historic cannon and big guns. The museum houses one of the world's finest collections with over 350 cannon dating back over 600 years. The collection originated at HM Tower of London and has been on display in Hampshire since 1995.
- The Royal Armouries at Fort Nelson also tells the story of the Palmerston Forts, built to protect Portsmouth from a feared French invasion in the 1860's.
- Every day, visitors can see one of the big guns fired in salute, watch our resident actors bring to life characters from 1,000 years of history, explore secret underground tunnels and enjoy incredible views from the ramparts. An extensive programme of special event spectaculars takes place throughout the year.
- Fort Nelson is open every day except 24-26 December. April to October 10am –5pm (Wed 11am-5pm), November – March 10.30am – 4pm (Wed 11.30-4pm).
- Admission to the Royal Armouries is FREE.
- Admission charges apply to some events.
- Information line: 01329 233734

- Email: email@example.com
- The Royal Armouries is the national museum of arms and armour with sites at Fort Nelson, Leeds, HM Tower of London and Louisville, Kentucky, USA.
- The Royal Armouries Museum should not be confused with Royal Armouries International plc, the private sector corporate hospitality business.

The U.S. government removed a key roadblock this year when the Department of Transportation amended its hazardous materials regulations to allow cells with methanol, butane or formic acid to be carried on airplanes. Methanol and butane are flammable, and formic acid is corrosive.

Associated Press
RALEIGH, NC (AP) — North Carolina voters have approved a constitutional amendment defining marriage solely as a union between a man and a woman, making it the 30th state to adopt such a ban.
With 35 percent of precincts reporting Tuesday, unofficial returns showed the amendment passing with about 58 percent of the vote to 42 percent against.
In the days before the vote, members of President Barack Obama's cabinet expressed support for gay marriage and former President Bill Clinton recorded phone messages urging voters to reject the amendment.
Meanwhile, supporters ran their own ad campaigns and church leaders urged Sunday congregations to vote for the amendment. The Rev. Billy Graham was featured in full-page newspaper ads supporting the amendment.
