So I've bought a load of stuff from there for that price.Steve Martin autobio, Steve McQueen photobook, Bowie bio, Stan & Olly bio, think I got an expensive Lee Miller photobook for 2 for 99c with John robb's Punk Rock oral history. loads of popular science type stuff too
First thing that went through my head on seeing the thread was Psychosonic the old version of the Sonics compi which I think I got for 99p.

Went to a big estate sale today. The guy was a big music/broadway/movie buff and his house was absolutely filled to the brim with his collection. One room was just lps, 45s and stereo equipment, including three working jukeboxes. The records weren't super cheap, but among the bargains I did take home were:
4 late 70s issues of Circus for a buck apiece.2 issues of Creem (Nov. 75 & Jan. 76) ''.2 issues of Discotheque ''.1 sealed copy of ABBA: Thank You For The Music on cd for a tenner.

I bought hundreds in there and would normally go through every rack right to the back. some great great stuff found in the Miscellaneous section, especially Greek film music (that I didn't get to replace once lost until finding bits of it on Demonoid last year).& I think most of that was between 1quid & 3.

The best under-$1 purchase ever has to be that guy in New York who paid 75 cents at a yard sale for an item he found buried in a box of LPs - a 1966 acetate of an early version of The Velvet Underground and Nico, the only one known to still exist! It included three songs that were entirely different recordings than the official release, and the rest were alternate mixes - all previously believed to be lost. After making an archival recording of it, he auctioned it off on eBay - for over $25,000!
Amazing find!

$2, total, at an Austin garage sale today for 40 78-RPM records -- mostly looks like square dance music on local Texas labels like Blue Star and Longhorn, but one is Red Foley "Milk Bucket Boogie"/"Salty Dog Rag" on Decca; another (sadly slightly chipped -- the only one I've seen that is) is unfortunately named Western Swing guy Adolph Hofner and the San Antonians "Cotton Eyed Joe"/"Put Your Little Foot" on Columbia. There's also a "Cotton Pickin' Polka" by Lester Woytek, and at least one other version of "Cotton Eyed Joe." There seem to be a few each by the Sundowners and by Red Warrick, whoever they are. Also included in the box were file dividers for all the records, and -- weirder -- lots and lots of lyric (square dance call) sheets and/or dance instructions for individual songs, some of which look like they were officially issued by the record companies with the records, but others of which are either typed out or written out longhand. Also, an 80-page pamphlet/mini-book called It's Fun To Square Dance: Six Easy Lessons By Louie Ratliff, one Elks Club card, and two cards apparently allowing dancers free "goofs". All for $2.
Now all I need is to get a 78 needle.

Was actually getting close to text you to find out if you were back in town; didn't you just head up to Chicago for a semester? But maybe I'm wrong about that (or maybe they kept you longer than you'd expected?) Anyway, if the you-know-what is what I think, you're actually mentioned in the intro to the first chapter.
The Adams BDP LP has two naked women on the back, with appropriate body parts hidden behind musical instruments. Totally remember seeing it at the time, but I have no idea whether I ever owned a copy then (presumably as a record company promo), much less listened to it.

Yes way. Anyway, just figured out via googling that the one album I got isn't by the Sequence Angie B (aka Stone), but by B Angie B who recorded with Hammer's girl-rap group Oaktown 3-5-7. Even more confusing, the name of the first song is "I Am Angie B"! And the actual label on the record says the LP title is Bust It, but those words are nowhere on the cover or spine.

Lots of corny biography written just as they were breaking big. Probably the Uriah Heep album I've played the most ever since it clocked a lot of mileage on the turntable when I was a kid. Good version of "Gypsy" -- long sledgehammering, idiotically funny lyrics about being whipped by girlfriend's gypsy dad and getting strong enough to fight and win, too short version of "Love Machine," hilarious sock-hop rock and roll medley.

Matcha swiss roll
I haven't made a swiss roll since I was in school doing a class in Home Economics. Unfortunately, that said swiss roll didn't roll very well and I ended up with swiss 'fingers' instead.
This swiss roll however, turned out much, much better. Very easy to roll and the matcha flavour was set off nicely with the whipped cream and anko (Japanese sweet bean paste) inside. I got the recipe from a book by Junko, a clever lady who came up with the idea of making patterns on swiss rolls.
I have to say, though, that you have to be rather organized to make the different batters for the different parts of the pattern. Other than that, it was quite straight forward to do. The only thing I would do differently is pour the batter more carefully over the pattern to eliminate all the little air bubbles around it.
Happy Birthday, Diane! I hope you enjoyed your cake. :)

Shortbread cookies {Recipe}
Can you believe it's February already?! Where did January go? Gosh, the year is getting off to a quick start and we've only just finished our Christmas cake! Valentine's Day is just around the corner and I thought these cookies would be perfect as a gift for someone you love or just for yourself. They are YUMMY! I made the cookies using a puppy cutter (isn't it cute?!). It's part of the Red Puppy Appeal which is for the Guide Dogs here in New Zealand. I got it at Bayleys for a $5 donation. Look at how cute the puppies are... and of course you can always decorate them with royal icing. But they taste just as good as they are. :)
The basic recipe for shortbread is very easy. It is a 1-2-3 ratio of sugar-butter-flour. The flour is a mix of plain and corn flour. Cornflour makes for a crisper cookie. Then you can get creative and add other things if you like. I added some chocolate chips to half the batch. You can add nuts or dried fruit too if you prefer. You can also leave them plain and dip them in melted chocolate. Mmmm!
Recipe for shortbread cookies
100g caster sugar
200g unsalted butter, softened
260g plain flour
40g corn flour
pinch of salt
- Beat the butter until creamy. Add the sugar and beat again until mixture is light and fluffy.
- Sift the flour, cornflour and salt together and add into butter mixture. Add chocolate chips, nuts or dried fruit, if using. Combine gently together using your hands to form a dough. Roll into a ball, flatten and wrap in cling film. Chill for about 20 minutes or until firm. Alternatively, if you want to cut them into rounds, you can roll the dough into a log, wrap in cling wrap and chill.
- Preheat oven to 170 degree C. Roll out the chilled dough to about 1 cm. Cut shapes and place on lined baking sheet. I like to chill the shapes for about 5 minutes before baking them to make sure they keep their shape. Alternatively, if you have rolled the dough into a log, slice to form rounds.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes or until firm.

Oat and cinnamon pancakes {Recipe}
I am a fan of pancakes in general but I loove these pancakes. I came across this recipe a few years ago on another blog, http://sundayhotpants.nocturne.net.nz/, and have made them almost every weekend since. That's a lot of pancakes!
I know this blog is mostly about baking and decorating but I think these pancakes are worthy of a post here. Plus it does have the word cake in it so that must count right?
The original recipe is from Julie le Clerc, who is a well-known New Zealand chef and has written many fabulous books. I have mentioned her before in my other posts when I make some of her fabulous cakes. I have adapted this recipe slightly as I am experimenting with using spelt flour instead of plain flour. Spelt flour is not gluten free, but it is more easily digestible than normal flour, so I have been trying to work this into our everyday food. I have also added blueberries or bananas to the mixture if I have them on hand. I have also topped them off with blueberry or strawberry compote if I have that too. Very adaptable!
Recipe for Oat and cinnamon pancakes (Adapted from Julie le Clerc's Cafe@home)
Makes about 8-9 pancakes
1 cup rolled oats (not instant)
3/4 cup milk (may need a bit more if mixture is too dry)
2 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup white spelt flour
1 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp baking powder
1 egg
Blueberries/bananas (optional)
1. Soak the oats and milk for 10-15 minutes.
2. Add sugar, oil and egg to oat mixture and mix well.
3. Add the flour, cinnamon and baking powder. If the mixture is too thick or dry, add more milk.
4. Ladle a large spoonful into a pan on medium heat. At this point, you can add slices of bananas or
blueberries if you like. Turn over once you see bubbles forming.
5. Serve with butter and honey/maple syrup/berry compote. Enjoy!
I hope you try them! They are delish! :)

Christmas cakes
This was also my first year to try and perfect the fruitcake. I have made fruitcake before, but usually it is the cheat's version where you heat the fruit with liquids to plump them up rather than soaking them in brandy for weeks. Well this time, I decided to try and do a traditional fruitcake which required me to soak the mixed fruit for 3 weeks (I know some people soak theirs for months, but this was hard enough trying to remember to stir it everyday!). The mixture smelled divine after 3 weeks of soaking in brandy. I also managed to squeeze in doing a cheat's version to compare the two since I had leftover fruit mix. The second fruitcake required me to heat the fruit with brandy and juice for 10 minutes and they plumped right up after that. My verdict is both versions are equally good so you can always skip the 3 week or 3 month soak for the 10 minute one. :)
The round fruitcake is the cheat's version and it is very yummy and moist. Best part is it contains no butter, only oil and is just as moist and tasty as the traditional one. This recipe is from Julie le Clerc's Favourite Cakes. She calls it her last minute Christmas cake. Very appropriate!
The next fruitcake I made is one from Little and Friday treats by Kim Evans.
This is from her first book and she has added chocolate to the recipe, but I could not taste it. It makes for a lovely and rich cake as well. I also made her marzipan, a first for me as I am not a fan of commercial marzipan. I was very surprised at how easy it was to make the marzipan. The only thing I may omit the next time I make the marzipan perhaps is the orange blossom water. I am not a big fan of it.
I wasn't intending to decorate my cakes as I was focussed on getting them right but I used the leftover marzipan to make a simple decoration on it. I think it turned out nice. The marzipan was easy to colour too.
I hope your holidays went well. Thanks for stopping by! :)

Fake fingers fool the boss in hospital scam
Five doctors at a Brazilian hospital have been suspended for allegedly covering for absentee colleagues by using fake silicone fingers to fool biometric machines.
Thaune Nunes Ferreira was arrested on Sunday for signing in six co-workers to the biometric employee attendance device at a hospital in Ferraz de Vasconcelos, Sao Paulo.
Ferreira had six silicone fingers on her person when she was arrested, three of which have already been matched to the fingerprints of fellow employees, police say.
Globo television showed footage of a doctor touching her finger to the device, then using two fake digits to do the same for colleagues, and taking delivery of slips of paper indicating they had in fact clocked in to work.
That way it looked like there were multiple doctors on duty when there was in fact just one.
The woman told police six other doctors were in on the scam.
"She says she was innocent because it is a condition they imposed on her to keep her job," said Celestino Gomes Antunes, the woman's lawyer.
Another television network said it was the head of the emergency room that ran the scam and that his daughter had not worked a day in three years but got paid all the time.
The mayor of Ferraz de Vasconcelos, Acir Fillo, said there might be as many as 300 hospital employees who do not exist, except for fake fingers with their prints, but who get paid anyway.

Little GAAP Could Drive Accounting Simplification
A push from privately-held companies for simpler accounting standards could jump-start a plan by U.S. accounting rulemakers to remove some complexity from Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
Concerns from private companies that accounting standards have grown too costly and complex pushed U.S. accounting overseers last year to create a new Private Company Council that creates exceptions and modifications to U.S. GAAP for private companies – essentially a "Little GAAP" for private firms. U.S. GAAP has generally been designed for the 16,000-plus U.S. public companies that have to meet regulatory reporting requirements, but millions of private companies also follow GAAP accounting because their lenders or credit agencies require it.
While the council is still working on its first proposals to reduce complexity, it is highlighting similar concerns for public companies as well, Jeffrey Mechanick, assistant director for Nonpublic Entities at the U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board said Monday.
"As we seek to bring a better cost-benefit balance within GAAP for private companies, we're initiating at least potential simplification for all entities from yet another direction," Mr. Mechanick said at an accounting roundtable hosted by the NYU Stern School of Business. "We've often looked at public companies first and here we're looking at private companies first."
So far this year the Private Company Council has proposed making changes to help private companies simplify accounting for intangible assets acquired in business combinations, goodwill, variable interest-rate entities and certain types of interest rate swaps. Private companies have complained that the decade-long effort to converge U.S. and international accounting rules had made the cost of complying with some of those rules unbearable for private companies whose lenders may not need that information.
FASB has also started a new project this month, suggested by the council, to address concerns about complexity of reporting for both public and private development-stage companies. The project aims to reduce the impact of a requirement for those companies to calculate cumulative information from their inception to the current reporting date, Mr. Mechanick said.
"We learned that the issues are substantially the same for both," Mr. Mechanick said. "We're trying to strike a balance here and trying to get away from one-size-fits all," Mr. Mechanick added.
Earlier this month, new Financial Accounting Standards Board Chairman Russell Golden said he wanted reducing accounting complexity to be one of his primary goals for his term and that the project for development-stage companies was one of the first steps in that process. An exposure draft on the development-stage company accounting rules is expected in October.

Aerosmith's New Album Could Be Out in July
It wouldn't be a new Aerosmith album without a media event, and the band obliged yesterday (March 28) by turning out to talk about its upcoming tour — and first album of original material in over a decade — on a stage erected outside a Los Angeles mall.
Strolling out to applause from several hundred fans after being introduced by Jimmy Kimmel, band members answered questions about the new LP, which vocalist Steven Tyler described by saying "Doing a record in four months is unheard of in Aerosmith territory."
The key ingredient, according to drummer Joey Kramer, is producer Jack Douglas, who Kramer referred to as "part of the Aerosmith DNA" and claimed, "On the first day of writing at rehearsal, that all came right back."
"This record is different from the recent past, say the last 20 years, where everybody is getting in the studio and throwing down their songs," guitarist Joe Perry explained to Billboard. "Some of the songs are completed and some are just riffs. This record is a lot more band-written stuff than there has been in the recent past."
Although Tyler predicted that the album will be out a month after Aerosmith's Global Warming tour kicks off in Minneapolis on June 16, Tyler said "We probably have two songs to write to finish. Or certainly there are slots to fill."
As for the tour, Perry says the band intends to mix up the set list a little, mixing in some old chestnuts with a few new songs and their greatest hits. "We want to bring out songs we just haven't played for years," he said, naming the 'Get Your Wings' track 'Woman of the World' as an example. "We'll be playing some of those — songs that were staples in the sets back in the old days that will be new songs to a lot of people if they don't know the albums."

Project user experience
- Wizard for adding project container
- Scope of the wizard:
- Container name (required)
- Create team repository (required)
- Add team members (required)
- Add repositories - projects, web pages (optional)
- Current mechanism for adding empty container won't work; it doesn't contain the team member repository as well as a first user, so you won't be able to open such container
- Scope of the wizard:
- Logging to container
- While opening project container there should be login dialog. Using system login name wouldn't work well in production.
- Some password protection should also available.
- Could it replace the login to chat.
- Automatic adding users for guests (?)
- Not sure of this one.
- If we would like to expose an example container at our vserver, having User_A, User_B, ... User_Z might not be a best solution. There might be conflicts - several people would login as User_A for instance.
- So a unique temporary guest users could be added, so that they can participate fully in the container - chat, events, etc.
- Adding projects to container by right-click -> add to container; dragging could also be an option
- For new we could require that the project is already shared
- In future I think the code could identify SCM repository and use its settings to share project first, and then add to container
New features for project scope
- Mylar
- I liked the Mylar functionality with Corona (expert, etc). Would it be difficult to update it for Mylar provided with Europa?
- ECF Shared Editor
- Add an action "Start shared editor"; an event with shared editor settings is sent and others get an dialog if they want to join; if yes, session settings from event are taken
- Seems to be simple to do :)
- Project checkout to working group with container name (probably very simple) - bug 170600
- Showing status of resources in the whole team
- show indicators that someone is working on a given file, some removed a file, etc.
- probably difficult
- problems:
- when should the state be cleared?
- would require some server-side state caching; otherwise when starting IDE you would always have a clear state, even though someone may be working on resources
- Indicator that a resource has a newer version in CVS; or at least information that there was some CVS check in
- RSS viewer bug 156275
- Calendar (iCal) viewer bug 159606

The sun has risen in the East, so there must be a news report somewhere quoting a partial transcript leaked by Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Vista) purporting to show the shortcomings of Obamacare.
Bingo! We have not one but two "investigative" news reports, from CBS and ABC, based on the same partial transcript. And both, consequently, have the same level of credibility: none. CBS News even offers a dividend -- a thoroughly dishonest and discreditable interview with Issa himself. We'll get to that in a moment.
The topic of the latest leak is the purported security flaws in healthcare.gov, the federal health enrollment website. The raw meat is a partial transcript of an interview conducted by the staff of Issa's House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform with Teresa Fryer, chief information security officer at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, which is handling the healthcare.gov rollout.
Cue Sharyl Attkisson of CBS: "A top HealthCare.gov security officer told Congress there have been two, serious high-risk findings since the website's launch, including one on Monday of this week."
Well, yes. But not exactly. Fryer said more, which you'd know if you read the parts of the transcript left out of the Issa leak but distributed by the committee's Democratic minority. There you discover that Fryer also said that the system's security measures exceed industry standards, that there haven't been any security breaches of the website, and the parts of the system affected by the high-risk findings were promptly shut down and quarantined.
That brings us to Issa, who went before the CBS cameras to charge that Fryer's recommendation that the website launch be delayed was overruled by mysterious "individuals" who, he said, "were looking at a broader array of risk." His tone of voice put air quotes around that "broader." He continued, "I took that to mean the risks such as risk to the president of embarrassment, the risk to people who were counting on being able to sign up for these plans."
See what he did there? He suggested that CMS was pressured by the White House to launch a website with security holes.
But there's absolutely no basis in Fryer's transcript -- zero -- to support that. What she said was that it's standard operating procedure to place security assessments like hers in a broader context. In fact, the process is set forth by NIST, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, which is the government's technology assessment agency. And of course that makes sense: You weigh the security aspects of a technical system against numerous other factors, including the importance of the program, and decide from the totality whether to launch.
There's nothing in Fryer's words even remotely hinting at an effort to spare the president "embarrassment." Issa appears to have made that up out of whole cloth.
But he didn't stop there. He suggested to CBS that the healthcare.gov website exposed virtually the entire government to hacking. "Remember, Sharyl, this is not about your application being compromised. This is a system, exchange and portal, that lets me go into the Department of Homeland Security, lets me go into the IRS ... Social Security. Think about what's at Social Security, what's at IRS, what's at Department of Homeland Security. That's the vulnerability."
Is that so? A flaw in a healthcare enrollment website that could let hackers in on our most precious government secrets? Let's agree that if this were true, it would be huge. But once again, Issa has absolutely no evidence that it's remotely true. If he had it, he would shout it from the rooftops, and he'd be right to do so. He wouldn't slink around in the dark to a news show and slip it into the conversation with a credulous reporter.
CBS plainly knows Issa was blowing smoke. If his assertion was at all credible, Attkisson would have made it her lead, instead of going with some threadbare assertion by a middle-level bureaucrat about "findings" that there were flaws in the website and that were dealt with promptly.
Of course, it's possible that healthcare.gov has such flaws. But most of the concern about the site up to now has involved the possibility that hackers could obtain the information that applicants type in, not that hackers could jump from the website directly into the government's internal systems. Curiously, Issa specifically disavowed concerns about the first possibility.
In the words of Kevin Drum, who has been collecting Issa's selective leaks as tenaciously as my kids once collected beanie babies, "When will reporters learn not to trust Issa? Judging by current practice, never."
But you don't have to be so gullible.

Ex-Navy SEAL: This 'moron' endangering lives
Carl Higbie rips useless Iraqi soldiers, cowardly U.S. military brass
Training Iraqis and Afghans to maintain western-style security is a waste of time and U.S. military leaders are so afraid of offending people that they refuse to do what's necessary to win.
That's the thesis of a very blunt book by former U.S. Navy SEAL Carl Higbie, entitled "Battle on the Homefront: A Navy SEAL's Mission to Save the American Dream."
Higbie tells us of his two tours in Iraq and the stunningly inept Iraqis he was ordered to train.
"It was unfathomable how dumb the people were over there," Higbie told WND. "It's difficult to get them to do basic tasks such as reading a map or doing jumping jacks. And we're giving them guns!"
He says simple concepts are impossible for them to grasp, so expecting loyalty to a Western nation or thinking they will comprehend a security strategy is a waste of time.
"They don't reason like us, they don't think like us. They're not capable of learning complex things, especially loyalties to Western democracy."
Higbie served in Iraq under President Bush in 2007 and in 2009 under President Obama. He claims there was a "night and day" difference in policy, including the Obama administration directive that U.S. troops not carry live ammunition.
"They want to tie your hands as soldiers so they don't have an 'incident.'"
Higbie says these rules of engagement are handcuffing our forces and preventing them from winning wars.
In fact, the ex-SEAL saves his harshest criticisms for military leaders for agreeing to wage a culturally sensitive war to win hearts and minds rather than kill our enemies.
"We need to fight to win or come home."
He specifically lashes out at Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey, calling him a "moron" for not fighting to change policies on joint security patrols in Afghanistan until Afghans had killed more than 50 of our own troops.
Higbie recounts how misguided rules of engagement put his own life in danger, how his book led to his dismissal from the U.S. Navy and what the response has been from officers and enlisted personnel.

World Bulletin/News Desk
The United Nations hopes to retrieve 21 peacekeepers from Syrian rebels on Saturday during a two-hour truce agreed to by Syrian troops and opposition groups after a release bid was abandoned on Friday, the United Nations and an opposition group said.
U.N. peacekeeping chief Herve Ladsous said the Filipino peacekeepers were being held in the basements of four houses in the village of Jamla, near the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, which was being subjected to intense shelling by Syrian troops.
The peacekeepers - part of the U.N. Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF), which has been monitoring a ceasefire line between Syria and Israel in the Golan Heights since 1974 - were seized by the Martyrs of Yarmouk rebel brigade on Wednesday.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britain-based monitoring group, said the warring parties in Syria were aiming for a ceasefire in the area between 10:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. (0800 to 1000 GMT) so the peacekeepers could be released.
The United Nations said arrangements were made for the handover of the men on Friday, but "due to the late hour and the darkness, it was considered unsafe to continue the operation."
"Efforts will continue tomorrow," a U.N. peacekeeping department spokeswoman said in a statement.
Abu Essam Taseel, a rebel spokesman, said a convoy to collect the men had reached Nafea village, about a kilometre (half a mile) east of Jamla, but was unable to venture further because of intense Syrian army bombardment.
Syria's nearly two-year civil war has spilled across the Golan Heights ceasefire line and Syria's borders with Lebanon, Iraq and Jordan, threatening to engulf the region. The conflict began as peaceful protests, but turned violent when President Bashar al-Assad ordered a crackdown on the demonstrations.
The U.N. peacekeepers were seized in Syria a mile (1.6 km) from Israeli-held lines. The Martyrs of Yarmouk rebels had said they would handover the peacekeepers once government forces retreated from around Jamla and halted bombing there.
"(Jamla) is subject to intense shelling by the Syrian armed forces," Ladsous told reporters after briefing the U.N. Security Council on the situation.
He also warned that once the peacekeepers were released, "we would strongly expect that there would not be retaliatory action by the Syrian armed forces over the village and its civilian population."
Syrian U.N. ambassador Bashar Ja'afari told reporters that the army was targeting areas outside Jamla where he said the rebels were concentrated, not the village itself.
"We know for sure what we are doing and we know where the peacekeepers are," he said.
"The Syrian government forces are doing exactly what they have to do in order to bring back safely the peacekeepers, guarantee the safety and security of the inhabitants of these villages (and) get these armed group terrorists out of the area," Ja'afari said.
Rebel spokesman Taseel said three army tanks and two military cars had pulled back from around Jamla but Assad's forces were still deployed around it and bombarding the region.
In several videos released on Thursday, the peacekeepers said they were being treated well by civilians and rebels.
The United Nations said the captives had been detained by about 30 rebel fighters, but Taseel said the men were "guests," not hostages, and were being held for their own safety.
Under an agreement brokered by the United States in 1974, Israel and Syria are allowed a limited number of tanks and troops within 20 km (13 miles) of the disengagement line.
Taseel said the Syrian military had exceeded those limits and that its warplanes were bombing opposition targets within 500 metres (yards) of the disengagement line - something he said the U.N. peacekeepers had a duty to prevent.
A U.N. report in December said both the Syrian army and rebels had entered the demilitarized area between Syrian and Israeli forces, and that Syrian army operations had "affected adversely" UNDOF operations.
The United Nations said in a statement that seven peacekeepers manning a position in the area of separation were withdrawn to the main UNDOF base on Friday "as a security precaution after armed opposition elements took over a nearby Syrian army post."
The measure is likely to pose further questions over the future of the peacekeeping force. Croatia announced last week it was pulling out its UNDOF soldiers as a precautionary step over concerns for their safety after media reports that Croatian arms were being sent to rebels.Last Mod: 09 Mart 2013, 09:10

Not selling - buying!
I need to get that figure!
Armageddon will soon be here,
the sinners will meet their fate.
But I am calm and without fear,
as I feed upon my hate.
I've thought about selling him. The wonder bread heman never had any meaning to me. I've bought every figure up till now but the first one I think i'm passing on will be Zodak. I liked the 200X show but I'm more interested in the classic figures/characters.
I think most folks that have made the commitment want all the perks....or at least they will not give them away at cost but they want to get paid for being locked it (just my sentiment)

My trader review:
I like the Wun dar He-man and will buy 2 AF such as the other characters!
I'll have to wait till I see him. I've got 2 subscriptions...so I may sell one.
I am thinking of turning him into a Blackstar figure...would be a pretty simple custom...
I am signed up for the subscription and will be getting Wun-Dar. I do plan to hang onto him, but to be honest, of all of the "bonus" figures that were announced at SDCC, he is definately the one that I have the least interest in.
I am trying to be (more or less) completist with this line (as long as it doesn't veer off into a bunch of really pointless variants like the 200X line did), and all of the other bonus figures announced so far I do plan to buy.
Having said that, if Wun-Dar didn't come with the subscription, and I were to miss out on getting him (i.e. I couldn't be on the computer when he goes on sale and I missed out on ordering him), it wouldn't the THAT big of a deal to me. Of all of the figures (regular, bonus, or otherwise) released or announced so far, he is the most "blah" to me.
Though, I will say that there are still a few things that I like about Wun-Dar. While I've never been that excited about the actual Savage/"Wonder Bread" He-Man figure from the 80s, the whole mystery surrounding it is interesting. And even though we know at this point that it wasn't actually part of a Wonder Bread promotion, I do like the additional nods to the rumor that were added to this new Wun-Dar figure (like the loaf of bread and the 'wonder bread' dots on the back of his armor). So, while it's still the lowest figure on the 'todem-pole' of MOTUC thus far for me, there are still things about it that I can and do appreciate.
No way I'm selling. He's the reason I ended up getting the subscription !
I got 2 subs and only need 1 Wun-Dar, so I`ll have an extra for sale or trade, but I`m keeping both maps so I can display both sides

Trade my Red Stone He-Ro Staff for a Green one
I'm a sucker for repaints; especially repaints that pay homage to something rare and/or strange (for instance: I've got two Vegetas from DBZ with his original big shoulder armor; one normal colors, and one in orange and green, because he was in those colors when they first showed him. It was never explained...he was orange and green once, then...never again!)
So I'm pretty excited for...well, just a He-Man repaint. Then again, Faker is one of my favorite figures, so how is this a surprise?

.....the Wun-Dar loaf is too good to pass up as well.
Where's the rest of the Vintage New Adventures?

I'm on the fence about mine. I really wasn't wild about the idea of this character to begin with. A lot my rest on his bio I suppose. I'm leaning more towards selling at this point.
I'm keeping mine but not because I'm particularly overwhelmed by the character. I got the subscription before the bonus figure was announced so he had no bearing on my decision to get the subscription for 2010. That being said I appreciate his creation as a nod to his vintage line's urban legend. That is the main reason that I will be keeping mine. Simply as a curiosity.

Heretical Vintage Purist and Non-Fan Extraordinaire!
I've got a few subs coming, so I'll probably sell a couple of my Wun-Dar figures. But I will for sure be keeping at least one and maybe two of them. I am VERY EXCITED about this figure!
Way back at the beginning of the year I posted on here that I hoped "Savage He-Man" would be the SDCC exclusive figure. Since I have never owned a vintage "Savage He-Man", I hoped that Mattel would make one for the MOTUC line so I could finally obtain one. As it turned out, I was very pleased with He-Ro, and during that weekend Mattel announced Wun-Dar...so it was a WIN-WIN for little old me!
I got two subscriptions, but I only need one Wun-Dar to keep MOC (he is not must-have-loose-one-also important for me), so I'm selling the other one (I already have the buyer for the figure + doubles of other extra items).

He was the main reason I ended up getting the subscription as really dont like to commit myself to a payment plan that runs until the end of next year
But I love exclusives unfortunately and I expect he will be quite a hefty price on ebay but as I am not a completist any figures in the subscription im not too keen on I will be selling those to get some of my sub money back
I've paid for both of my copies of him, and I'm keeping him.
See, I only got the subscription so I wouldn't have to go through the ordering process every month.
The bonus was just that. If it had been Green Goddess or Zodak, I'd be keeping it but Wun-Dar just doesn't do it for me.
Plus, if I sell it, I can recoup the $20 and make a fellow fan happy.

What better way to honor his history than seeing him as portrayed by William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton, Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker, Peter Davison, Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy, Paul McGann, Christopher Eccleston, David Tennant, and Matt Smith!

Photos and descriptions of each Doctor are printed on the inside of the TARDIS doors. The second set we opened up so we could put the Doctors in our LEGO castle and make him fight the Joker alongside Batman in our DC Comics playset. Tiny sonic screwdrivers and attention to the little details make this set worth every penny.

This was growing in the backyard of the house I was staying in. At Pearl Harbor. In Hawai'i. Not only did I experience paradise but I did it with two terrific friends. It was perfect...we snorkled, sailed, golfed and shopped. The beach, the flowers, the food, the wine......how perfect can life be? Even the loooong plane ride in the littttlllle seat could not put a damper on it. Coffee in gazebo in the morning, then wine there in the evening. No bugs..no snakes. In my friend's yard were mangoes, bananas and tangerines. We stood to the National Anthem every morning while outside drinking coffee and stood again for colors in the evening. Even heard the Japanese national anthem as they had a ship in port. Took the Admiral's barge around Ford Island and walked through the Arizona Memorial. Saw all the monuments to the other ships that were lost. Goose bumps just thinking about it. I saw sea turtles trying to make their way to shore. Three huge turtles....

No bugs? Hawaii doesn't have bugs?! Why do we live here, then?

A church is a building in which worship, usually of a Christian nature, takes place.
A church in which a bishop resides is known as a cathedral.
Sometimes the term "Church" is used to refer to a collective Christian body such as the Catholic Church or the total body of believers.
The word "Church" arises in Christian use from a number of New |Testament sources, perhaps the prime, the words of Jesus - "On this rock I will build by Church". This is at once concrete and it is general with portents of the future. It is concrete as Church, the "Ekkelsia" those that are "called out" (of the environs) for the purpose of gathering together is a direct reference to the synagogue ("led or assembled togther") - "Beit Knesset" in Hebrew, those that are "gathered together", visible, concrete, societal, a people. These then, together are the Israel of God, a new creation, upon which will sit, guide, judge, the 12 apostles, waiting for the Lord to return.
And yet, Church, is something beyond this, something that takes it in but transcends this as Church is somehow related to the Body of the Risen Christ which He now in Heaven fills and lives in here on earth. We the Church have now somehow by His grace become part of His Body, or we ,all together, are His Body on earth, through which He lives and continues His good and continuing work of the Kingdom of God.
Our nexus to His Body are the following ; it is faith in Him our Savior that has initially brought us to the Body to join us togther with a real community and to Him. It is baptism which has brought us firmly into the life of the Spirit of the Body and Community and signifying that it is to Him that we belong. It is the communion with Him granted us at the table of the Lord in "Communion" that strengthens us for our life here on earth. It is the illumination and actual grace to help that comes to us in the hearing of His Word of Holy Scripture. It is in obeying that Word which we have heard that these weak and mortal bodies on earth receive Heaven's transforming power and new life - even as we live on earth awaiting His return, and it is in forgiving love, one member of the Body to another, that we actually experience the sweetness of Jesus living with us in His Body on earth, the Church.
The Church is thus concrete and specific, the people of God among many peoples, and transcending this, it is general, universal, attached to a greater reality - the Risen Christ Himself. The joining of Christ in Heaven with His Body on Earth, the Church gives force to this saying of the Lord:
"Then shall the King say unto them at his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was an hungred,and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:Naked, and ye clothed me: Sick. and visited me: Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord ,when saw we thee an hungred and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? When saw we thee a stranger and took thee in? or naked and clothed thee? or when saw we thee sick or in or in prison, and came unto thee? And the King shall answer, and say unto them, inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these, my brethren, ye have done it unto me. =Matt. 25:35-40
Possibly the first Church Structure
On Mount Zion in Jerusalem, identified wrongly as such by the Crusaders, close to the present day Roman Catholic Dormition Abbey, and entering the room below that of the Last Supper of Jesus, one views the huge remembrance stone indicating the tomb of King David from Crusader times. Outside the tomb enclosure, there are are usually orthodox Jews praying. But behind the remembrance stone on the wall of the room facing the Temple Mount, one can see the niche at the exact height above the ground for the scrolls of the Bible to be placed. This indicates that the room had originally been a synagogue. Walking around the outside of the room in the courtyard, one can see the "Herodian" stone blocks with their characteristic and tell-tale incised borders. So this room was originally built in the first century. Further, the stones were of different sizes and shapes indicating that this was their secondary placement having been brought here from elsewhere, perhaps the destroyed temple area itself. During the 1948 Israeli War of Independence, an artillery shell landed in the courtyard, shattering the successive layers of plaster of the room within, until the last layer could be seen, extending down past the Ottoman Turk, Early Muslim, Crusader, Byzantine period floor levels, ending at the original 1st century floor. This was further confirmation that the room was built in the first century. There were prayers in Greek to Jesus inscribed on the wall. This indicates that the synagogue was a hellenistic oriented Jewish Christian synagogue (similar to the New Testament reference of the Jewish "synagogue of the Libertins"). It also explains why the room, right across the valley from the Temple Mount, was not oriented to it in the usual way that the worshippers would face the temple, but was rather facing north in the exact direction of the both the later "Constantinian" Church of the Holy Sepulchre and the most recent "Gordon's Calvary" - the two contenders for the site of the crucifixtion, burial and resurrection of Jesus.
This "Kibla" or prayer direction is in accord with ancient practice of facing the direction of importance. For the Old Testament and Judaism, facing Jerusalem and, in particular if within Jeruselem, facing the temple; for Islam (after it disavowed Jerusalem as the kibla), facing Mecca; and, at one time, for Christians, facing the East, the direction of the rising sun (Mal.3) and also the direction from which Christ would return.
The mosaic Byzantine Madaba map of Jerusalem shows the location and the room as being adjacent to another structure - the Church of the Holy Apostles, indicating that it was considered as particularly important or held holy in the Byzantine period. The later huge Crusader period Church of St. Mary, built at the same spot as the earlier Byzantine church, is shown by archeology to have actually included the room within the Church structure. This then was the most likely first Church and home to the Believers in Jesus before the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D. The "Church House", possibly the home of Mark, that would later be called "The Church of the Holy Apostles" and the "Mother of all Churches" - (The Liturgy of St. James).
The word church comes, through the Old English circe, from the Koine Greek κυριακον (kyriakon), which means "Lord's House".
