I won an auction off EBay for this figure... Im just curious... is it a very hard figure to find at a reasonable price??? Thx
I won an auction off EBay for this figure... Im just curious... is it a very hard figure to find at a reasonable price??? Thx
"Do or do not... there is no try" Yoda - ESB
It is a bit difficult to find in good condition. It was one of the final 17 figures produced. It was in the original Power of the Force line.
I believe it books anywhere from $85.00-$125.00 loose mint and complete (WITH COIN).
I snagged mine for around $40.00 or so.
I hope this helps.
May the force be with you.
It was probably the toughest one to find back when they came out in 1985 - I only found one once, and that was the day I got it. I even recall seeing Stormtrooper Luke and Amanaman more often back then.
"I take orders from just one person - ME!"
I have a loose mint one... one of the few figures I was able to find in 1985-1986.
BTW- this one is commonly referred to as "bull-neck Han w/Carbonite Block".
Usually in collector shops now you can probably find at least one loose if they offer vintage stuff. The Han doesn't look too great from what I've seen in person from behind a glass case, but the carbo block feature is nice.
"Hokey packaging and ancient gimmicks are no match for good detail on your figure, kid."
"I am a Klingot from Oklahoma in human boy form."
"We came, we saw, we conquered... We, woke up!"
"Bull-neck" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

These functions are especially useful with the > CF90 compiler where intrinsics for this purpose are not available. > o - Performance improvements in the library routine, SHMEM_GET, occur for > transfer sizes of 1-3 words. Cray Research test suites saw up to 1.86 > times improvement. > o - The Parallel Virtual Machine (PVM) global operation function, > pvm_reduce() has improved performance. pvm_reduce() was previously > layered upon pvm_psend() and pvm_precv() functions and used the same > linear algorithm as is used in the public domain version of PVM. The > optimized version uses direct shared memory and achieves more > logarithmic scaling. > o - The following Fortran shared array intrinsics were added: PRESUM, > PREPROD, PREMIN, and PREMAX, (parallel prefix operations) and SCANSUM, > SCANPROD, SCANMIN, and SCANMAX (segmented scan operations). These > intrinsic functions are variations on traditional reduction functions. > o - Enhancements to the Libsci libraries for the Cray MPP systems include > the following: > 1) The addition of an optimized implementation of ScaLAPACK, a set of > scalable algorithms for solving linear algebra problems. ScaLAPACK > contains a number of linear solvers, similarity and equivalence > reductors, and an Eigensystem solver for real symmetric matrices. > These algorithms use the Basic Linear Algebra Communication Sub- > programs (BLACS) for communication and the Parallel Basic Linear > Algebraic Subroutines (PBLAS) for computation. The PBLAS, new in > this release, provide distributed-memory software comparable to > the BLAS in shared-memory codes. > 2) New FFT routines were added to perform parallel 2-D and 3-D > real-to-complex and complex-to-real FFTs. > 3) The performance of the FFT subroutine, CCFFT, has been improved for > prime-length vectors, and for lengths that are not factorizable into > powers of 2, 3, and 5. The single-PE routines SCFFT and CSFFT have > been extended to work with odd-length vectors. > 4) Newly optimized versions of the following routines were added: > - SNRM2, SCNRM2, SROTG, and CROTG from the Level 1 BLAS routines. > - STRSM, STRMM, and the other Level 3 BLAS routines. > > 6.0.2 Features for Cray PVP and MPP systems > --------------------- > > The libsci LAPACK libraries added support on both Cray PVP and MPP systems for > factorization variant QR with pivoting, linear least squares driver routines, > and reductions to condensed form for eigenvalue computations.

INGOMAR – Ingomar starting pitcher Tyler Dowdy was somewhere between running on fumes and too much adrenaline in the seventh inning.
But it was just the right place for the Falcons.
Dowdy hurled a complete game to help Ingomar edge Tupelo Christian Prep 4-3 in Game 1 of a Class 1A first round playoff series.
"We're going to go as far as Tyler Dowdy takes us," Ingomar head coach Andy Wilbanks said. "He's been in this position before.
"He definitely has a little bit of grit."
Dowdy needed every bit of that grit in the top of the seventh, with the Falcons (19-5) holding a 4-2 lead.
With two out, TCPS (19-7) scored a run on an outfield error to pull within 4-3. Following an intentional walk to load the bases, Dowdy reached back to get a strikeout to end the contest.
"Dowdy deserves a lot of credit, he threw a lot of strikes, and he's a competitor," TCPS head coach Will Lowery said. "It's hard for me to get past the team that didn't show up tonight.
"I thought we were very sporadic, and showed a lack of competition."
Both teams got on the scoreboard in the third inning, beginning with TCPS as Taylor Beard had an RBI double.
falcons respond
Ingomar responded with a pair of runs on a solo home run by Brady Cox and a fielding error that allowed a second run.
Both teams also scored in the fifth, with TCPS plating a run on Tyler Beard's single. Ingomar again responded with a pair of runs, one on a wild pitch, and the other on a fielder's choice with a close play at home.
"We made a couple of mistakes, they made a couple of mistakes, we just made a couple of pitches when it mattered," Wilbanks said.


text: Handler calls for marks (all-age stake), and as marks are going down the dog doesn't move its head towards a gun so the handler taps his/her leg to draw the dog to the station? Do you drop the dog/handler? How about a person who drags or stomps his/her feet on the mat to draw the dog to the gun station for the mark? Do you drop the dog/handler?

|Inflatable Watercraft Rafts, pontoon boats, kickboats, etc.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
I have 3 rigged for flyfishing sit on top kayaks...............never tried a inflatable.
Nice looking trip !
Let me know how they work. Should be mobile enough. Lack of fly rod holders & storage may be a problem. A portable GPS may come in handy.
Advantages of an inflatable kayak
An inflatable can travel where a hardshell can not be checked as baggage. Having a means of getting around within a few miles of the road could be a very liberating thing.
Looking at this remote island in the Bahamian Archipelago, the crude road follows the shoreline for a brief interval and there is a small structure worth fishing... but when compared to the available structure a few miles away it's not much.
It's possible to carry a small tent, some water and some provisions and do an overnight on the beaches, extending the reach of the excursion into two days with a suitably sized kayak.
There's a lot to think about with the wind and tides especially in these remote places, but it's not hard to see what an inflatable kayak can offer on a trip to the carribean!

LiverKick Best of 2013: Knockout of the Year
- Written by Dave Walsh
The year 2013 was a tremendous year for the sport of Kickboxing as we saw GLORY take aim at America as one of its home bases and really made some strides that I honestly thought we'd never see for the sport here. GLORY not only ran shows, but they ran a bunch of shows and those shows were attended by a good number of paying customers. Then, to top it off, GLORY moved from CBS Sports Network and internet PPVs to Spike TV, picking up steam and viewers with every show. That was a big deal.
GLORY wasn't the only organization to make moves, either, as we saw another season of the SuperKombat World Grand Prix, the birth of LEGEND in Russia and K-1 starting to get the gears in motion by running both a Heavyweight World Grand Prix and a World MAX tournament within the same year. But which company did what doesn't really matter, what matters are the fights and the fighters.
Throughout the coming week we'll be looking at the best of 2013 throughout multiple categories, with Monday featuring Fighter of the Year and Tuesday featuring Fight of the Year. Today's category is one that is completely undisputed as it took the entire Kickboxing world by surprise; the Knockout of the Year. If you've been watching Kickboxing you already know what this is going to be.
LiverKick 2013 Knockout of the Year: Andy Ristie vs. Giorgio Petrosyan
Andy Ristie had two tremendous knockouts on the night of November 23rd, but one was literally the impossible. Andy Ristie achieved something on November 23rd that no one else has been able to even come close to, which was to knock Giorgio Petrosyan out. Giorgio Petrosyan was without a doubt the #1 fighter at 70kgs and he was there for years. In fact, it looked like his reign would never end, but Andy Ristie refused to accept that when he stepped into the ring that night.
Ristie chipped away throughout the fight, finding the smallest of openings and exploiting them. It led to Petrosyan looking just a little off throughout the fight. To the untrained eye it was just another Petrosyan fight where he wasn't getting hit and was slipping some strikes through his opponent's defenses, but that untrained eye would be missing the shots that Petrosyan wasn't landing, or the times that Ristie was able to counter him. By the time the third round came around and Ristie connected with a clean shot it almost didn't seem like reality, then he followed up and Giorgio Petrosyan was down on the ground and didn't get back up.

On second thought, GOP cap-and-trade cost estimates on the money
posted at 12:14 pm on April 22, 2009 by Ed Morrissey
Republican opponents to Barack Obama's cap-and-trade policy claimed that the costs passed along to the energy consumer would eventually amount to about $3100 a year, calling this a tax by other means. Proponents scoffed at the suggestion, claiming that the actual cost would be less than a tenth of that amount. They cited John Reilly, an MIT professor who claimed that the GOP lied about the study he conducted in order to concoct that number — and organizations from newspapers to Think Progress to MS-NBC and even the Wall Street Journal used his statement to call Republicans liars for the last several weeks.
They may have to eat those words. Professor Reilly has rechecked his figures, and now he says that not only were the Republicans right after all, they actually underestimated the costs to the consumer. John McCormack scores the exclusive:
Many congressional Republicans, including members of the GOP leadership, have claimed that the plan to limit carbon emissions through cap and trade would cost the average household more than $3,100 per year. According to an MIT study, between 2015 and 2050 cap and trade would annually raise an average of $366 billion in revenues (divided by 117 million households equals $3,128 per household, the Republicans reckon).
But on March 24, after interviewing one of the MIT professors who conducted the study on which the GOP relied to produce its estimate, the St. Petersburg Times fact-check unit, Politifact, declared the GOP figure of $3,100 per household was a "Pants on Fire" falsehood. The GOP claim is "just wrong," MIT professor John Reilly told Politifact. "It's wrong in so many ways it's hard to begin." …
During a lengthy email exchange last week with THE WEEKLY STANDARD, MIT professor John Reilly admitted that his original estimate of cap and trade's cost was inaccurate. The annual cost would be "$800 per household", he wrote. "I made a boneheaded mistake in an excel spread sheet. I have sent a new letter to Republicans correcting my error (and to others)."
While $800 is significantly more than Reilly's original estimate of $215 (not to mention more than Obama's middle-class tax cut), it turns out that Reilly is still low-balling the cost of cap and trade by using some fuzzy logic. In reality, cap and trade could cost the average household more than $3,900 per year.
The $800 paid annually per household is merely the "cost to the economy [that] involves all those actions people have to take to reduce their use of fossil fuels or find ways to use them without releasing [Green House Gases]," Reilly wrote. "So that might involve spending money on insulating your home, or buying a more expensive hybrid vehicle to drive, or electric utilities substituting gas (or wind, nuclear, or solar) instead of coal in power generation, or industry investing in more efficient motors or production processes, etc. with all of these things ending up reflected in the costs of good and services in the economy."
In other words, Reilly estimates that "the amount of tax collected" through companies would equal $3,128 per household–and "Those costs do get passed to consumers and income earners in one way or another"–but those costs have "nothing to do with the real cost" to the economy. Reilly assumes that the $3,128 will be "returned" to each household. Without that assumption, Reilly wrote, "the cost would then be the Republican estimate [$3,128] plus the cost I estimate [$800]."
At issue is what happens to all of the cap-and-trade funds that get collected by the government in the Obama plan. In order to believe that the Obama-predicted revenues pulled out of the energy industry won't impact the consumer, either one has to believe that energy producers won't pass along those costs in price hikes (which is ridiculous), or that the Obama administration envisions a profit-sharing plan in which the money all goes back to the consumers. The latter is equally ridiculous, and demonstrably so. In the first place, Obama has already hiked federal spending $400 billion in the next fiscal year, and even his own OMB predicts trillion-dollar deficits for the next decade after that. Massive rebates might sound great to Republicans, but Democrats will never, ever agree to them. In any case, with these deficits, the money for rebates technically doesn't exist.
Besides, the money has already been earmarked. Obama himself said he would use the money for massive government expenditures on renewables research. Other Democrats counted on the money to fund health-care reform. No one in the administration or Congress ever envisioned giving the money back to the consumers, directly or even indirectly.
Once the government gets this money from energy production, they're going to keep it. That means that Reilly's final figure of $3900 per household is the correct number to use. It validates what the Republicans have said all along — that Obama's cap-and-trade policy will be a disastrous burden on American families. Maybe all of the scoffers should read what Reilly has to say now, but that's not nearly as much fun as calling Republican liars.

By The Associated Press
STARKVILLE, Miss. (AP) — Every teacher in the Starkville School District now has a new laptop.
The district approved a three-year lease program in November and accepted a bid from Synergetics for $127,000 a year. Each of the district's 350 teachers is receiving a new Lenovo E530 ThinkPad, a wireless keyboard and mouse and a docking station with a separate 19-inch, flat-panel desktop screen.
The Commercial Dispatch reports (http://bit.ly/W4Ri2T) that last semester the district finished installing a Smart Board in every classroom. The Smart Boards are touch computer screens that resemble a square dry erase board.
The new laptops will be wirelessly connected to them.
"The Smart Boards are great, but I find myself running back and forth from each station to the board a lot, trying to explain different things to children," said second grade teacher Rosia Jackson. "But with the wireless mouse and keyboard, I'll be able to move around much more easily."
Superintendent Lewis Holloway said the district has leased 20 extra computers, so if a teacher's laptop needs repairs it can be substituted with a replacement while the original is being fixed.
Overall, Holloway says leasing the laptops was the most economic option.
"It didn't require a huge capital outlay from the district, but it also puts teachers on the same standardized platform which was a big plus. We will save on repairs on older computers and on time with staff working with more productive items that are involved with teaching other than waiting on those repairs or other mishaps," he said.
Holloway said the three-year lease allows the district to stay on top of technological changes and ensures the district will get the best possible price.
"At the end of three years, we will send them back to Synergetics and we will release another bid and the teachers will get brand new computers," Holloway said. "This makes sure our technology stays up-to-date in every classroom."

I must have been about 10 years old the time my Dad and I went camping alone for the first time. I don't remember much about the trip other than the fact that my Dad seemed to have everything down to science.
He had all the answers and seemed to be the worlds best outdoors man.
While we were pitching the tent my Dad told me, "Take care of your gear and it will always take care of you."
Something so simple… but true.
About 10 years later, I found myself in the basement of Charlie Company 4/9th Infantry in Fairbanks, Alaska. We had just come back from an extremely long field training exercise and were cleaning up our squads gear.
We had all the tent pegs on a board and were painting them red, we had emptied the lanterns and stuck string in the fuel hole to wick excess fuel out, we turned our Ahkio sled upside down to drip dry and let the canvas hang, and we put everything back in its place for the next time we would need it.
My Squad leader came into the room and talked to us about taking care of our equipment. He said to us that if "We took care of our gear… it would take care of us." I thought wow… that's what my dad told me. (Wonder where he got it?)
And it was true. The more we used the gear, the more we repaired and maintained it, it never failed us. On extreme cold weather exercises, our gear always did its job, the tent keep us dry and when we fired up the Yukon stove.. it kept us toasty warm.
Tonight as we stored the Troop gear from this weekends camp out, I noticed that some of our gear was starting to show signs of neglect. Now I know that it was not intentional, but at the same time it served as a great illustration of why we need to take care of our gear. Some of the gear we found tonight would need some serious attention and if we needed it tomorrow, it would not be available.. it would not take care of us.
Tonight, the young men of Troop 664 heard what my Dad and my Squad leader told me 22 and 12 years ago. And it's still a fact… IF YOU TAKE CARE OF YOUR GEAR… IT WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU.
So here are some tips.
When you come home from a camp out.
1. Hang your tent up.. get it dry. Even if it was only a little damp.. hang it up. A little moisture can destroy your tent.
3. Wash your mess kit. Even if it got cleaned at the camp out… throw it in the dish washer for a good cleaning.
10. Pack it all back up in a few days. Note anything that may be missing or needs to be replaced.
Take care of your gear. Know what you have, how you use it, and keep it in good shape. If you take care of your gear…it will take care of you. I promise.
Have a Great Scouting Day!

Shop modern wallpaper, contemporary art, and playful decals to refresh your wall decor and imbue your space with unexpected style.
The walls of a home, whether in a modern city apartment or suburban home, are blank canvases that can come to life vividly when beautiful wall décor is applied. Contemporary design brands offer an enormous range of modern wall applications, from gorgeous wallpaper motifs and cutting edge graphic art to innovating 3D wall applications. With so many options available, it's useful to focus on a couple of the most rewarding ways to use your home's walls to create ambiance and richness in a modern room.
Wallpaper has come a long way from the days when choices were limited to traditional, old-fashioned floral patterns. Today's contemporary wallpaper options run the gamut from delicate to vivid, subtle to daring—and feature striking designs ranging from Mid Century Modern patterns, iconic pop culture motifs, and colorful abstractions that double as contemporary art installations. 3D wall applications can transform an ordinary expanse of wall into an innovative and architectural modern design statement, with temporary wallpaper eases the stress of a long-term modern wallpaper commitment.
With so many choices available, it's especially important to think carefully about what you require of your wall covering; in other words, do you want it to be the room's centerpiece, or part of a larger, harmonious modern design statement. These parameters will help inform your choice of design motif, color scheme, and the size of the area of a wall you'd like to cover.
It's important that you don't undermine the rest of the room's design components with your choice of modern wall treatments. As with furniture, lighting, and modern décor, wall treatments should balance and enhance a room's other features, whether it be via pattern, color or scale. 2Modern's vast and varied modern wallpaper and 3D wall applications come from both venerable international brands and local contemporary design stars, and have been selected for their quality, originality and beauty. Review our modern wall offerings here.
Art, whether modestly priced or expensive, adds personal expression to a room—so don't make your choice of contemporary wall art an afterthought. As with wallpaper and other wall applications, contemporary art pieces should be chosen with great care and discernment, forming an integral part of a room or modern home's character.
Collecting art doesn't mean spending thousands of dollars, but it does mean selecting with quality and longevity, in addition to esthetics, in mind. Choose modern wall art compositions that resonate on an emotional level, even if your budget is small, always mindful that, unlike other wall treatments, art is not to be matched to a room's color or style so much to add to its overall expressiveness.
2Modern's collection of contemporary art prints, which include designs on fabric, canvas, and metal, as well as limited edition modern wall art pieces, may be just the focal point or finishing touch needed to elevate a modern room from ordinary to extraordinary.

I considered the double throw relay as a possible solution to knowing the state of a latching relay until I saw the cost. When you spend as much on a relay as the rest of the circuitry, it gets a little silly. That's why I've been researching how to sense that current is flowing in combination with voltage being available.What I want to do is power the electronics of a switch with the power that's available in the switch box (no batteries or separate power supply) This means that I have to have a tiny power supply that takes mains voltage (110 for me) and gives me 5V to run the circuitry. On a multi-switch setup, where there are both SPDT and DPDT switches in the chain, finding power and knowing the state of the latching relay can become quite a task without rewiring the switches.
@TorremolinosThanks for the reply. I did go through your project, but couldn't really find anything related to controlling and monitoring the current status of the light in existing 2-way switch circuits. Please provide me a link or additional info, if I did miss on something.

Usually when I do these Style Crush posts, it's a matter of finding the same performer in a variety of daring red carpet outfits. That's why it's so refreshing when I find a subject for whom "style" means also makeup, headwear, and hair. I found that in Alicia Keys, who captivated us with her braids and her piano skills and manages to look awesome both while picking up music awards and doing the talk-show circuit. You know that when she's "working" an outfit, she's actually working in it.
Plus, it's her birthday today! Happy 31st, Alicia.

The Republcans are trying to get the Health Care Bill repealed saying most americans do not want it. Well looks like things are changing according to the polls. Looks like "mostly" Republicans do not want the health care following their party's lead.
WASHINGTON As lawmakers shaken by the shooting of a colleague return to the health care debate in Congress, an Associated Press-GfK poll finds raw feelings over President Barack Obama's overhaul have subsided.
Ahead of a vote on repeal in the Republican-controlled House of Representatives this week, strong opposition to the law stands at 30 percent, close to the lowest level registered in AP-GfK surveys dating to September 2009.
Americans are divided over the law, but the strength and intensity of the opposition appear diminished. The law expands coverage to more than 30 million uninsured, and would require, for the first time, that most people in the United States carry health insurance.
The poll finds that 40 percent of those surveyed said they support the law, while 41 percent oppose it. Just after the November congressional elections, opposition stood at 47 percent and support was 38 percent.
As for repeal, only about one in four say they want to do away with the law completely. Among Republicans support for repeal has dropped sharply, from 61 percent after the elections to 49 percent now.

Man with teen in car charged with 4th OWI
Sheriff: man observed driving down the wrong side of the road
The Grant County Sheriff's Department has charged a Fennimore man with operating a vehicle while intoxicated for the 4th time while a teen was riding in his truck.
The incident happened just after 8:00 p.m. Wednesday on Golf Drive just sound of County Highway T in Hickory Grove Township.
According to the sheriff's department, Michael Birchman, 37, was driving down the wrong side of Golf Drive when a deputy pulled him over. The sheriff's department said deputies conducted a field sobriety test on Birchman before charging him with OWI.
Sheriff's officials said Birchman had a 15-year-old girl in the car with him when he was pulled over, which makes the charge a felony.

Another week. Hm, what happened?
Hacked on the kernel some. Got a patch accepted into -ac, and then found out I broke compilation of the serial driver. Oooooooops. Discovered that ISAPnP support for standard kernel drivers is much less widespread than I had hoped. Oh well, time to write it, I guess.
Discovered that apparently *no* cell phone, regardless of network type, will work in my house. I suppose whatever that says about EMF in the area does not bode well for my health. Or perhaps I just live in the middle of nowhere.
Watched many many football games, as is the norm for this time of year.

WALNUT – Morgan Burroughs drained 72 3-pointers for Walnut during the regular season. Tuesday, the junior guard kept the long- range shots falling in the opening round of the Division 2-2A Tournament to help the Lady Wildcats beat Hickory Flat 37-27.
The Lady Wildcats (6-21) advance to face No. 1 seed, Potts Camp on Thursday at 7 pm.
Burroughs sank three 3-pointers in the first half to give Walnut a 19-11 halftime lead. She scored 15 of her 25 points before the break.
"She's our glue," said first year Walnut coach Richard Byrd. "She handles the ball for us, she scores for us, she's our best defensive player. When we need her, she steps up."
Burroughs was held scoreless throughout the third quarter, but saved a big shot for the final seconds.
She connected on her fourth 3-pointer of the game, a contested shot by Hickory Flat's Amber Thompson, and Walnut led 24-17. Burroughs gazed at Thompson as she backed away.
"She kept grabbing my jersey while I was dribbling," said Burroughs, who leads Walnut with 13.3 points per game. "I said, 'If you touch me again,' she said 'What are you going to do about it?,' and that's when I hit the 3-pointer."
Hickory Flat closed to within 27-24 on Kaitlyn Wilson's third 3-pointer of the game with 4:11 remaining. Walnut allowed just three more points and drained eight free throws down the stretch to hold them at bay.
'Didn't finish'
Hickory Flat coach Alicia Pickens said her team just couldn't score the way they did in a 63-35 win over Walnut during the regular season. They made just five of 46 shots from the floor, Tuesday.
"We shot the ball well last time," said Pickens. "We did a great job of holding on to the ball, a great job of blocking out, we adjusted to their shooters at halftime and didn't give up many shots in the second half, but we just didn't finish."
Brianna Reeves and Kaitlyn Wilson had 10 points each for Hickory Flat (13-14).

Fireproof: Collector's Edition - DVDAlex Kendrick, Erin Bethea, Kirk Cameron
At work, inside burning buildings, Capt. Caleb Holt lives by the old firefighter's adage: Never leave your partner behind. At home, in the cooling embers of his marriage, he lives by his own rules. Regular arguments over jobs, finances, housework, and outside interests have ... Read More
More From: Alex Kendrick, Erin Bethea, Kirk Cameron
Regular arguments over jobs, finances, housework, and outside interests have readied both he and his wife to move on to something with more sparks. As the couple prepares to enter divorce proceedings, Caleb's father challenges his son to commit to a 40-day experiment: "The Love Dare." Wondering if it's even worth the effort, Caleb agrees - for his father's sake more than for his marriage.
While trying to stay true to his promise, Caleb becomes frustrated time and again. He finally asks his father, "How am I supposed to show love to somebody who constantly rejects me?" When his father explains that this is the love Christ shows to us, Caleb makes a life-changing commitment to love God. With God's help he begins to understand what it means to truly love his wife. His job is to rescue others. Now Caleb Holt is ready to face his toughest job ever - rescuing his wife's heart.

My husband and I loved it watched it even twice. Is an eye opener to couples and now we are looking for the book to start our 40 days.
- Great movie by Lore on 11/10/2016
We love this movie and have purchased it a few times to gift it. We are a law enforcement family and it hits close to home and the issues we as a family used to struggle with prior to God being at the center of our marriage. Now we walk with couples that struggle with similar issues.
- Awesome by Colette on 4/10/2015
Excellent movie a must see for sure! You will watch this one over and over.
- Excellent Must-See Film for Your Marriage by Ashlee on 6/29/2014
When my husband and I go through rough spots in our marriage, we always watch this movie together (or alone) and it cements our resolve to each other and our relationship with Christ. A great movie for your home library.
- Wonderful movie by MPipkin on 2/13/2012
I loved this movie. It deals with real problems that people face regardless if they are Christians or not. The movie brought things down on a level that everyone can understand.
- The best movie I've ever seen! by MissDut on 2/9/2012
This is honestly the best movie I've ever seen. Seeing the struggles that the couple go through and how their faith in God gets them through is amazing. It really makes you see things for how they really are. I can't say enough good things about this movie. EVERY married couple should see it at least once.

Need to get rid of that traffic ticket? Head to traffic school
SPOKANE, Wash. - The Spokane Police Department has started a traffic class that will make it easier for you to have a clean driving record if you ever wind up getting a ticket.
The Safe Traffic Operation Program -- or STOP -- is offering a class that will keep that citation from being reported to your insurance company.
While it's true you can use the school to keep down your insurance rates or have a clean driving record so you can drive the company car, these classes are really about preventing injuries and saving lives.Spokane Police traffic school
Speeding tickets here in Spokane start at $124; you can choose to fight the citation in court, but if you're really guilty of going too fast you'll soon have the option of attending traffic school.
"Well I like the fact that it's not going to go on your driving record," Spokane Police Officer Nate Spiering said. "It's not going to be used against you as far as insurance goes because they'll never know about it if you complete our driver's education course."
The eight-hour course, which includes videos and Powerpoint presentations, goes well beyond the standard stop and go lessons you remember from driver's education. It's a refresher course on keeping your passengers safe and you out of court.
"What to be on the lookout for so you don't creamed going down to the cougar game. Not just creamed but also civilly liable down the road for a mistake that you made that ends up being a violation of the rules of the road that is maybe obscure that you don't know about it," Spiering explained.
For example, a little known law requires you to stop at crosswalks when other vehicles have stopped even when you don't see a pedestrian.
"There's a car stopped in the middle of the roadway; there's usually a reason for that. The other cars are required to stop also," Spokane Police Officer Chris Lewis said.
The price of attending traffic school is exactly what you would pay for your basic moving violation which is $124. The classes are either on Saturday or on two weeknights, so if you really need that ticket to go away traffic school may be the way to go.

Juicy raspberries add fresh flavor to rich chocolate brownie wedges topped with cool sweetened cream.
When time is at a premium, omit the whipping cream and sugar and top brownies with frozen (thawed) whipped topping or canned whipped cream topping.
Make the brownies ahead and cool completely, then wrap in foil until ready to use. For longer storage, freeze the brownies.
Delicious red raspberries work best in this dessert, but if you have golden raspberries, mix them with red raspberries for the garnish.

Heck, just the last four posts have been fun. Is this going to be the type of high level discourse about important issues that we can expect to watch here once the guy inherits the mess left after the last eight years.? It is amazing how you all can get so excited about some common associations when two politicians are from the same state in the same party. How does this rise to such an active and excitingly speculative discussion while substantive issues get ignored or dismissed out of hand (you know like unprecedented AG office scandals, the outing of a covert operative, torture, signing statements exempting the administration from the law, financial system implosion, etc, etc. Just google "bush legacy" for some real fun).The next 4 years should be some fun.
Do you really want to go down the path of guilt by association? That would be fun, wouldn't it. The association of Palin and Stevens comes immediately to mind. The convicted felon did campaign for her when she ran for governor didn't he? Maybe that $110K worth of make-up and hair styling recently revealed was somehow related. Off the top of my head, then lets talk about anyone associated with Larry Craig or Mark Foley, and Duke Cunningham (wasn't he a good friend of McCain?), or how about all those associated with good old convicted felon Jack Abramhof, there's a long list there. Of course all their proven guilt is due to the left wing media and they are not responsible in any way and did not do anything different than anyone else..........no need to remind me. I do try to pay attention here from time to time and have learned a lot.
Is that ABC article an example of the left wing media too? Just trying to understand.
Yes, it is going to be fun just to watch and educational too. Sorry to interrupt. For future reference, is there a sarcasm emoticon?
Mister Obama, how much do you get for a senate seat? Do you take it in cash? Do you have to split it with the Governor or do you get to keep it all to your self?
Hey Henry,it's fun to see a crooked politician get busted irregardless of what party he's from.I'll bet more can be found from both of those parties to keep us all entertained for awhile.
The reality is that corruption seems to thrive anywhere you have decisions being made without review or any balance of power. The most common sources of corruption are trivial administrative decisions that have been delegated downhill. Look at the people handling traffic tickets and leases in government or the people buying supplies in corporations (in my own experience, corruption in large corporations is at least as prevalent as corruption in government). In Illinois and other states, giving Governors sole authority to appoint successors is an invitation to corruption.
We are actually coming up on the ultimate invitation for corruption -- the pardons handed out by an out-going President. It will be interesting to see who will benefit from GWB's largess. Hopefully his own moral standards will not allow him to sink as low as prior Presidents, including Clinton, have gone. Will he pardon Ted Stevens? What about Scooter Libby. If he's smart, he might even want to reserve a pardon for himself and Dick. It seems to me that it's about time for this particular tradition to be abandoned. Maybe then the states will institute some of their own checks and balances.
Jeff Goodwin
I guess change has really helped that state.
A lot of people are afraid of heights. Not me, I'm afraid of widths.
Chicago Politics at thier finest. and the people of this country put a chicago politician in the white house. boy, what were they thinking. Welcome to the great country of Chicago.
All I have to say is... don't blame me, I voted for a loser.
"The longer you let a dog go in the wrong direction the more they think they are going in the right direction" Don Remien.
If that were true I would imagine instead of BHO's first comments being "I've had no contact with the governor over the appointment." he would have taken the opportunity to toot his own horn over seeing corruption and alerting the authorities claiming a "new" kind of politics.
His associations are pretty deep, both directly and through Mr. Emanual, Axlerod, etc.. Though even Mr. Axelrod didn't think Blago passed the smell test back in 2002 and wouldn't work for his campaign for Governer. Obama and Emanuel held their nose.
If you wished to maintain even a tiny shred of credibility I think the proper response would have been something along the lines of, "I'm glad he was caught. I loathe crooks of all political persuasions. If he's guilty I hope he goes to jail for a long time."

The cabin is so dark, unless I have an alarm I don't get up until around 10:00 AM. I went to the fitness center and ran a couple of miles and did chest and triceps, with a view of the ocean. The water has been a little rough, and running on a treadmill is an experience, trying to look like you know what you are doing is hard enough without the added sway now again that makes you look like you are just a little tipsy.
We spent the majority of the day on the deck. I was so careful to put lotion on but I missed a few spots.
The pictures in this album are just some goofy pictures I took as I saw things: the clouds, to my right, to my left, the calypso band, the ocean from the deck, a picture of my botched up toe nail polish when I got a pedicure at the spa.
At about 4:00 PM we went back to the stateroom to get ready for dinner. It was the 1st of 3 formal attire for dinner. My mom got lots of compliments on her dress. The people I am standing with in the photo album are Richard and Barbara, our table mates. I'm laughing in this picture because Richard said to me "a rose between two thorns". He cracks me up. There's also a picture of mom and Barbara. My mom will kill me for putting the picture in because her eyes are 1/2 closed, but it is still a cute picture.
After dinner we saw a show in La Scala Theatre. The dancers and singers are good but the choreography and story line is a bit cheesy. I've not really been impressed with their on board shows.

Chilies and cumin punch up the flavor in a comforting low-fat meatloaf. Grab leftovers for tomorrow's lunch sandwich.
You can make this meatloaf in a 9x5-inch loaf pan, but patting it into a loaf in a slightly larger pan allows a nice brown surface to form on the top and sides.
Small cans of tomatoes with green chilies are available in a couple of brands. They are sometimes found in the Mexican foods section and sometimes are with the canned vegetables. If you can't find a 10-ounce can, use a little more than 1 cup from a 14.5-ounce can of Mexican-flavor diced tomatoes.
