Mortgage rates drifted slightly higher for a second straight week, with the average 30-year mortgage rate at 4.28%, according to FreddieMac's (FMCC) latest Primary Mortgage Market Survey, up from 4.23% a week ago and 4.22% the week before. Like Treasury yields, that mortgage rate seems to have settled into a range recently, after falling as low as 3.35% in early May, nearly matching the 3.31% all-time record low, and then hitting a two-year high 4.58% in late August.
The average 15-year fixed-rate mortgage rate also crept higher to 3.33% from 3.31% a week ago.
A similar 30-year mortgage rate measured by the Mortgage Bankers Association's latest weekly survey rose to 4.46% from 4.42% a week earlier. That survey also showed mortgage applications fell by 0.3% last week.

Like all Varilight products these V-Dim (Standard) Series dimmers are designed to meet the latest European Safety Legislation.It is important to select the correct dimmer switch for your application so please read the following information carefully.Our V-Dim Series standard dimmers are Leading Edge and can be used with mains voltage lighting and good quality Low Voltage Electronic Transformers. When using Electronic Low Voltage transformers we recommend that a maximum of 5 good quality Dimmable Electronic Transformers are used (10 if Varilight) with this Dimmer range. Please note: add the watts of the bulbs/lamps if using Varilight Transformers, to determine which dimmer to select, but if using another manufacturer of Transformer, add up the VA of the Transformers so it does not exceed the maximum of the dimmer. Please note that noise levels can depend on the quality of the Transformer being used. The best suited dimmer series for dimming electronic Low Voltage transformers is the V-Pro Series, which has many features including Dimmer Buzz Elimination, that is created from the Transformers used. If using 6+ non Varilight Transformers then choose the V-Pro or V-Plus Series. The lights are turned on and off by a rotary on/off click action and dimmed by a rotary control knob. V-Dim Rotary on/off dimmers are only suitable for 1-way circuits. Please note, if total dimming is preferred from many switched locations, in a 2, 3 or more way circuit then choose the Varilight Touch and Remote range of dimmers, in conjunction with Slave Dimmers.V-Dim Rotary dimmers can be used for mains incandescent GLS lamps (standard mains light bulbs), up to the maximum load as specified on the dimmer. They can also dim GU10 or similar Hi Spot Mains Halogen lamps (only use quality UK supplied lamps) up to the maximum load as specified on dimmer. Choose V-Pro Dimmer Series if dimming LED's.

Thursday Challenge 1/31/2013
Posted 31 January 2013 - 08:26 AM
How is it the LAST day of January?? Time is flying so quickly these days!
So...I know you are going to be disappointed...it's not Template Thursday today. LOL (I thought 4 weeks of templates were enough) Today's challenge is to scrap winter! I think winter is beautiful and I love cold and snow! I realize not everyone has cold and snow during winter...so scrap YOUR winter! Do you love it? Hate it? Of course you are welcome to use templates if you want! (I did!)
My layout will be later today-or maybe even tomorrow. It isn't quite done and I'm not sure I'll have time today to get to it....a few weeks ago we went through some of the boxes (after our move in November) and came across my boxes of photos. I have snow pictures of the kids from 2004 I used. WOW, so much has changed in 9 years......
Be sure and post your layout in the General Message Board Challenges and post a link back in this thread!

Weather can be crazy! This week it was 70 on Monday, and 2 inches of snow Wednesday morning...I took some pictures yesterday of birds at my feeders during the snowfall. /> Coming soon to a layout! (as long as they turn out)
Great challenge Conda! Speaking of winter - I just looked out the window and it's snowing like crazy and the sun is shining too - Wild huh?

John Chamberlain's working process is based on the use of found objects or common materials, assembled into a unique 'fit' that is expressive of a spontaneous gesture. Le molé is a multiple created during an experimental phase of Chamberlain's career which saw him temporarily abandon his large-scale scrap-metal sculpture. Instead, Chamberlain looked towards the chance structures of scrunched-up tissues, crumpled cigarette packets and burst paper bags for inspiration:
My work with paper bags started with me blowing up and popping a bag … I started making the sculptures. Then I felt someone might look at these … paper sculptures and think someone had merely wadded them up and forgotten to throw them away. How was I going to retain the delicacy of the paper and the delicacy of the little watercolours I put on them? So I dripped clear plastic resin down the creases, and I thought that was one of the most marvellous pieces of engineering I'd seen for a long time.[1]
Le molé is derived directly from a scrunched-up paper bag, the profile of which was cast in polyester resin and vacuum coated with an aluminium and silicon oxide. For each work in the edition,[2] the artist manipulated the thickness of the oxide and the angle from which it was applied to create nuances in the surface patina. This manual transformation of the 'molecular' structure of the coating may provide a clue to the work's title. Believing that 'You can do the same thing with words or with metal'[3], Chamberlain composes his titles by rearranging language scraps. In this way, Le molé is deliberately cryptic, a humorous word contraction that is typical of the artist.
Despite its small scale and experimental material, Le molé contains a similar sequence of detailed 'actions'—compressions, expansions, twists, angles and stress points—that are the hallmarks of Chamberlain's larger scrap-metal monuments.

Alphas Question
Posted 03 February 2012 - 04:23 PM
I've got a question about alphas. Let's say I am doing a page and I want a title of "Grandma's 80th Birthday." I open my alpha file. Do I need to drag and drop each letter onto the spread, and then arrange them and resize them individually? Is there an easy way to do this? Is there, say, a way to "type" the words I want?
Wondering if there are any shortcuts on this one.
Posted 03 February 2012 - 04:43 PM
What I do is open up a blank document and drag/drop the letters I need there. Then I rearrange them the way I want them to appear on my finished Layout. If it is good to go, then I merge the letters into one layer, crop it, and then drag that new title art onto my finished LO.
Posted 03 February 2012 - 05:01 PM
Posted 03 February 2012 - 05:20 PM
Posted 03 February 2012 - 05:58 PM
Hope that helps!
Posted 03 February 2012 - 06:10 PM
A trick for resizing them easily is that once you have all of the letters on your layout, select all of the alpha layers by holding down your shift key while you click on each one. Then you can resize them as a group.
Hope that helps!
Yup.. That's what I do.. Then again, I've also used Becky's tip too!
Posted 03 February 2012 - 06:47 PM
Posted 03 February 2012 - 07:15 PM
Press CTRL + D to de-select the area. Re-select the PNG sheet layer again in the layers palette, press M for marquee, and repeat for the next letter. When you're done, select all the layers of the individual letters in the layers palette and re-size them as needed. Don't merge them down to one layer or one layer per word until you've gotten the letter to letter placement all tweaked and tuned.
Once you're done, the PNG sheet layer can be removed from the workspace. You may find this technique faster sometimes; back in the day, alphas sometimes came only as sheets. Hope this helps!

I have not thought of making favorite words out of my alphas and storing them, Cool!!
I've done that a few times when making words for a title. I'll save them with the kit as Word Art. :-)

As of now, Faux doesn't feel Americans see what faces them. Optimism is American dogma — but hope "is not a strategy." The Servant Economy, for all its bleakness, has the constructive value of presenting a sober, realistic view of the future — unless, somehow, we change direction in what Faux calls a "transformational" way.
When you read this review after the presidential election, you may think you see what direction the public has chosen. If the very embodiment of Wall Street, Mitt Romney, wins, the direction will not be in question. But if Obama wins, Faux suggests, the movement toward the servant economy simply will be less swift. There's little evidence the direction will be changed.

Some great discussion here, I wish the DNR would read it all. My biggest concern with an open 6 week season is where I hunt in zone 2. It is the most densly populated zone and the highest hunter densities. I think this would be a big mess here. Sure the later weeks would probably be good after the weekend warriors gave up and the true die hards are all that are left out hunting. The other thing is the 4 bird limit. It just makes me keep thinking about the deer screw up when they just kept giving out so many doe tags. I guess maybe I have lost a lot of faith in the DNR. I work closely with one of our local wildlife biologists for my learn to hunt, I will have to start asking him some questions, he is usually pretty straight up with me.
I just hate to think they could screw up this awesome turkey hunting we have. I remember the days when it was a huge deal if you saw a turkey, cause there weren't many there! Time will tell.
TJ- I hear your pain with the out of state thing, but the main thing is we pay the taxes here just as you do in your state, therefore the residents should have first crack at the tags, at least that is my opinion. I am not just saying that for WI residents, I feel that way for every state, no matter what you are hunting. I actually think WI NR hunting tags are pretty resonable compared with some other states.

What should I do before I get pregnant?
I'm 35 and I want to get pregnant.
I've been on the pill for the last 10 years. What do I need to do to get pregnant?
And I want to ensure a healthy pregnancy for me and my baby so what should I do?
Are there special diets or supplements?
Thank you!

One of the best things you can do to help increase your fertility is to do a nourishing detox. This is where you nourish your body while supporting your liver to help move the old hormones out of your body (the hormones you've been taking for 10 years to avoid pregnancy).
One of the best ways to do this is with a juice feast. If you did a juice feast for 6 weeks, focusing on getting 2 to 3 full heads of dark leafy greens into your diet (i.e. kale, romaine, swiss chard, spinach, etc.) the greens (chlorophyll) would be very cleansing and nourishing to your body and your eggs.
It takes 4 months for an egg to grow into an "adult egg" which is capable of being fertilized. The more you can balance your hormones with nourishing foods, the better quality your eggs will be and the higher the chances of ovulation occurring each month.
Here's a short video showing you how to do this, and explaining why it works so well to feed your cells (and remember, the egg that will eventually become your baby is a cell). It is critical to increase your health before you conceive because what you do before conception will affect the health of your baby.
If you don't need to lose weight, I would encourage you to add 1/2 to 1 whole avocado and some dates to your juice fast each day.
You can also take a look at this article that discusses preconception care, including supplements you may want to include in your diet each day.
Warm Regards,

Thank you, Kate!
I'll definitely give it try.
I'm a little underweight..I've always been. Could this be a problem?
I see no video link but I'm sure you didn't mean it .
3rd November 2013 03:31 AM #4
Hi Georgia,
I have added the video to my post - thanks for letting me know I had forgotten it. Take a look - shows you how to make green juice and very educational about how to feed your cells.
You mentioned that you are a little underweight. Actually, being underweight can cause infertility. Increasing your weight by just 5% could make a big difference in how quickly you are able to conceive. The reason it's often times harder for a woman who is slightly underweight to conceive is because the body needs a little extra fat in preparation for pregnancy. Many women are nauseous and/or vomit during the first 3-5 months of pregnancy, which means they're either not eating much (because just the smell of food makes them sick) or they're not able to keep down what they do eat. This also means that many women will lose a few pounds during the first trimester of pregnancy. This is not harmful to the baby, as the baby will only grow to be about an 2 inches during those three months. Baby will then start putting weight on more quickly, and by the last month of pregnancy, will be putting on 1/2 pound every week.
So increasing your weight is important. You can eat an avocado a day, a palm full of raw nuts, like almonds, dates, and if you are up to it, you could even have a scoop of ice cream every so often (if you're avoiding dairy most of the time). But milk products cause inflammation, so I would stick with avocado, nuts and seeds. You can also put some olive oil on your salads - at least 1 tablespoon a day. And try to get some flax oil or flax seeds in your smoothies or on your salads.
It all depends on what you choose to eat. If you're doing a juice fast to detox as quickly as possible, then just adding an avocado a day should sustain you. Being underweight, you may want to just gradually transition to a really healthy diet, which is mostly raw (unless you have digestive problems, then you'll have to go with cooked for awhile).
You will also want to learn how to watch your body's fertility signs as soon as you are off the pill. I can help you with this.
Warm Regards,
3rd November 2013 04:13 AM #5
Excellent advice from Kate above.
Being underweight also unfortunately increases your risk of miscarriage. Getting to a healthy weight before you start to conceive is a good idea.
Warm wishes,

Thank you, Kate! And thank you, LJ!
I've always had problems gaining weight because of my IBS.
I have to eat healthier and more regularly.
3rd November 2013 06:28 AM #7
Hi Georgia,
IBS is definitely a digestive disorder so I would recommend something other than raw foods to begin with, for you. The reason you're not gaining weight is because the food is not staying in your system long enough for you to take enough nutrition from it.
I would suggest the following, starting today...
Go off of all gluten products. This means all wheat and some other grains (do a search for gluten grains). Corn is a grain that does not have gluten, but much of the corn produced now is genetically modified, so I would eat organic corn products because those are not genetically modified (GMO). In general, I would eat very little processed corn (tortillas, corn chips, etc.) and if you're going to eat corn, eat it off the cob, or cook up some frozen corn. Rice does not have gluten, but don't fill up on it. You'll want to fill up on the fruits and vegetables and eat just a little rice.
I would also go off of all dairy products, sugar and caffeine (coffee, all sodas, etc.). All of these products and cause inflammation in the system, and the IBS is an indication of inflammation.
Try making a smoothie (you'll need a blender for this) out of fresh fruit and dark leafy greens. Spinach can be more irritating to the system, so start with something like kale, swiss chard or dark leafy green lettuce.
If your blood type is "O", then you may be able to tolerate small amounts of beef and chicken. Otherwise, you may find that you feel better without meat. In that case, you can get your protein from eggs, nuts, seeds and getting 2-3 heads of dark leafy greens in your diet each day.
These are the changes I would make immediately. Please post back with any questions. We're here to support you!
Warm Regards,

Thank you, Kate!
I'll try it and see.

This is basically a thread where you can post and discuss what movies you have watched recently and what you thought of them. These movies can be old, new, in the theater, on dvd, tv, etc, it doesn't matter. It's just a general thread. This would also be a good place to discuss films that don't need a thread dedicated to them, like Lollilove , j/k Caesar. I do ask one thing which applies mainly to the newer films; please try to avoid from posting any spoilers unless you give warning. Thank you.
Well I guess I'll start. I watched Running Scared last Friday, on dvd, and it was surprisingly good. Sure, some of the parts of the movie and dialogue were kinda cheesy, (what move starring Paul Walker isn't?) but overall it was a good film. I found one of the sub-plots in the movie to be pretty disturbing (if anyone has seen this film you probably know what I'm talking about) but it was well done and played out perfectly. It definitely added to the movie and made it even better. Running Scared definitely has its twists and turns although most of these occur towards the end of the film. I don't want to give anything away but like I said, I was really surprised at what a good movie this turned out to be and I can highly recommend it, at least as a rental.
I have also recently watched Date Movie, well about the first 20 minutes of it, and had to stop watching. It was horrible. Stay far very far away from this one.
Sooo.... what have you all watched lately?

OXFORD – Collins Moore is a go.
At least that's what it looks like now.
Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze made his most definitive statement on his sophomore wide receiver at his Monday press conference.
Freeze has been careful with Moore, weighing his impact for the team against the likelihood that his injured shoulder – secured by a brace – can make it through the entire season. If it can, surgery will come after the season.
"It looks like we're going to proceed forward with him playing. It's just a long season. As you see already, we're getting beaten up some, so I think we're going to need him, and he wants to play," Freeze said.
Korvic Neat, who replaced Moore, is injured and missed the Tulane game.
Moore had two catches for 25 yards in New Orleans, including a 19-yard third-down reception to keep the chains moving on a first-quarter touchdown drive. He said he was not unusually sore after the game.
A true sophomore, Moore was the starting slot receiver when he was injured on the second day of practice with what was called a torn labrum.
His role began to increase late last season, and he finished with four catches for 69 yards, including a 37-yard reception at Kentucky.
Better than Texas game?
Freeze says he expects his defense to be better against Alabama than it was against Texas two weeks ago when the Longhorns pinned 676 yards and 66 points against the Rebels.
"Taking nothing away from Texas, but I don't think we played our best football that night on the defensive side. I hope we come out and play a little more inspired, be more disciplined with our eyes and tackle a little better," he said.
Offensively, the Crimson Tide ranks No. 54 in total offense, No. 38 rushing and No. 70 passing.
Secondary improvement
Defensive back Charles Sawyer said the Tulane game was a positive experienced for the Rebels' revamped secondary.
A week ago, as the dust was settling on the Texas game, Freeze announced that Sawyer would move from rover to cornerback, his original position, and freshman Trae Elston would be inserted at rover.
"Everybody did what they were supposed to do and didn't make as many mistakes as in the Texas game. The big plays, eyes, tackling, all the things we did last week. It was simple to do, we just had to do it," Sawyer said.
Tulane quarterback Devin Powell completed 22 of 41 attempts for 145 yards, no touchdowns and three interceptions.
Ole Miss ranks No. 85 in the nation, last in the SEC, in pass efficiency defense with a 138.29 rating.

IX. Do you consider the Convention should deal with the question of the representation of Asiatics, natives, and coloured people, or should it leave this matter for settlement by the future Parliament of South Africa? If you are of opinion the matter should be dealt with by the National Convention, please state on what lines.
I think this, like all other root questions, should be most fully discussed by the Convention, and the result of that discussion most fully and frankly placed before the nation. I am of opinion that where the Federal franchise is concerned, no distinction of race or colour should be made between South Africans. All persons born in the country or permanently resident here should be one in the eye of the State. I am, and have always been, strongly opposed to the importation of Asiatic or other labourers to undersell the labour of the permanent inhabitants of the land. I regard it as criminal on two wholly distinct counts: and I have always held that, whether as a speculator or a seeker-for-health, when a man temporarily enters a country for a limited number of page: 18 years, having no interest in its future, it is quite just, though it may not be expedient, to refuse him the franchise. I hold, further, that the inhabitants of South Africa, like those of all other countries, are under certain conditions justified in refusing admission to foreigners at their ports, though I think the conditions under which it is desirable seldom occur; but, once admitted to take up their permanent residence in our country, I think no distinction of race or colour should be made. South Africa must be a free man's country. The idea that a man born in this country, possibly endowed with many gifts and highly cultured, should in this, his native land, be refused any form of civic or political right on the ground that he is descended from a race with a civilisation, it may be, much older than our own, is one which must be abhorrent to every liberalised mind. I believe that an attempt to base our national life on distinctions of race and colour, as such, will, after the lapse of many years, prove fatal to us.

Multiple sclerosis is an
MS; Demyelinating disease
Multiple sclerosis (MS) affects women more than men. The disorder is most commonly diagnosed between ages 20 and 40, but can be seen at any age.
MS is caused by damage to the myelin sheath, the protective covering that surrounds nerve cells. When this nerve covering is damaged, nerve signals slow down or stop.
The nerve damage is caused by inflammation. Inflammation occurs when the body's own immune cells attack the nervous system. This can occur along any area of the brain, optic nerve, and spinal cord.
It is unknown what exactly causes this to happen. The most common thought is that a virus or gene defect, or both, are to blame. Environmental factors may play a role.
You are slightly more likely to get this condition if you have a family history of MS or live in an part of the world where MS is more common.
Symptoms vary, because the location and severity of each attack can be different. Attacks can last for days, weeks, or months. Attacks are followed by periods of reduced or no symptoms (remissions). Fever, hot baths, sun exposure, and stress can trigger or worsen attacks.
It is common for the disease to return (relapse). However, the disease may continue to get worse without periods of remission.
Nerves in any part of the brain or spinal cord may be damaged. Because of this, MS symptoms can appear in many parts of the body.
Muscle symptoms:
Bowel and bladder symptoms:
Eye symptoms:
Numbness, tingling, or pain:
Other brain and nerve symptoms:
Sexual symptoms:
Speech and swallowing symptoms:
Fatigue is a common and bothersome symptom as MS progresses. It is often worse in the late afternoon.
Symptoms of MS may be mimic those of many other nervous system problems. MS is diagnosed by ruling out other conditions.
People who have a form of MS called relapsing-remitting may have a history of at least two attacks, separated by a period of reduced or no symptoms.
The doctor may suspect MS if there are decreases in the function of two different parts of the central nervous system (such as abnormal reflexes) at two different times.
An exam of the nervous system may show reduced nerve function in one area of the body. Or it may be spread over many parts of the body. This may include:
An eye examination may show:
Tests to diagnose multiple sclerosis include:
There is no known cure for multiple sclerosis at this time. But, there are treatments that may slow the disease. The goal of treatment is to control symptoms and help you maintain a normal quality of life.
Medicines are often taken long-term. These include:
The following may also be helpful for people with MS:
Living with MS may be a challenge. You can ease the stress of illness by joining an MS support group. Sharing with others who have common experiences and problems can help you not feel alone.
Outcome varies, and is hard to predict. Although the disorder is chronic and incurable, life expectancy can be normal or almost normal. Most people with MS are active and function at work with little disability.
The following typically have the best outlook:
The amount of disability and discomfort depends on:
Most people return to normal or near-normal function between attacks. Slowly, there is greater loss of function with less improvement between attacks.

Four from the Loire
Four very impressive wines from the Loire Valley, three of which were of some age, recently tasted with Jim Budd. My thanks to Jim for pulling the cork on these; the two Chinons in particular were memorable bottles that contributed in no small way to my ever-continuing, life-long Loire education.
Charles Joguet Chinon Clos de la Dioterie 1989: Showing some maturity, paling in terms of hue, but still fresh and bright. The aromatics are delightful, fresh and expressive, and increasingly complex the more I return to the wine. There is a sweetness to the fruit still, but also a more savoury and evolved quality reminiscent of black bean and soy sauce, perhaps a little balsamic too. Along with this there is a little sliver of green, but not one that detracts from the wine, but instead lifts it up a level. The palate is evolved, still with appealing substance, and also energetic and firm, with a softening texture and evolved characteristics like those on the nose. So long and full. A superb wine. 18.5/20 (October 2013)
Domaine de la Perrière Chinon Vieilles Vignes 1989: From Jean and Christophe Baudry. The colour here is a little deeper and more confident than the Dioterie from Charles Joguet, tasted alongside. It has a smoky and evolved, lifted nose, not so complex as the Dioterie perhaps, but it does seem to look more clearly to the future. The palate is sweet, evolved, with good flesh and depth, and although the evolution is not as apparent as I would have hoped I have to acknowledge that this wine probably has decades ahead of it yet. All the same, right now it feels energetic and bright, polished and long. A very good wine, and one that is potentially great given time. 18/20 (October 2013)
Château du Breuil Coteaux du Layon Beaulieu 2007: A pale golden hue here, and a very classic nose of honey and mineral-schist, with nuances of cinder toffee. The palate has a very fine freshness to it, a bitter and pithy grip which really appeals, being wholly subsumed by the flesh and concentrated fruit of the midpalate. This is tense, with great grip and pithy acidity through the middle. A classically styled and quite exceptional wine, which could age brilliantly, from a relatively (compared to the greats of Anjou) unsung domaine. 17.5/20 (October 2013)
Domaine Ogereau Coteaux du Layon Saint Lambert Cuvée Nectar 1990: An amazing colour, a burnished orange-golden hue, and yet it is bright, with a red-pink hue, almost like a very confused sunset. The nose is redolent of orange zest, coffee and cinder toffee, and shows great character and admirably evolved style. In the mouth it is very rich and broad in keeping with the vintage, and the overall impact of the wine so far. The breadth and sweet polish is matched by some structural elements, which largely come from the bitter grip possessed by the wine, rather than the acidity which seems rather muted, perhaps typical of 1990. The finish is long and pithy, the flavours sweet and tinged with toffee. Overall, this is an excellent wine, and very true to the vintage in question. 17.5/20 (October 2013)

"The longer you let a dog go in the wrong direction the more they think they are going in the right direction" Don Remien.
Shot a lot of tests and trials. This summer at one test the flier was thrown directly at the sun. If you have never tried it you need to see the outcome. Another all the birds thrown directly into the wind. another the bird was thrown right at a large pine tree and you couldn't see it until it cleared the tree and at 6:30 in the evening it was virtually impossible to see it at all so the last two birds were no birds. Now I wonder why that was. Judges have to work with what they are given so its just as tough on them as it is the gunners. Arm chair quarterbacks are a dime a dozen, they sit back and never offer to help just complain when things don't go thier way.

2. If you think that you can do better then march your ass over to the marshall and apply for the job (I'm pretty sure that at this point you will find out that there is no "hiring" process).
3. A no-bird has never bothered my dog, he sees plenty of those while hunting.
It is easy to piss and moan about lots of things at a HT or FT but remember this, if it weren't for all of the VOLUNTEERS then our sport would not exist.

Hmm I've gunned several times, I'm usually pretty good at it, single shots for most birds, like maybe 2 called no birds (birds were dead), in an entire masters stake; (usually when our thrower is replaced); However I have had some really hard days, where judges insist on setting up tests where; even after they've been told several times; circumstances are so bad for shooting that three good gunners couldn't get it done. Throwing Chukars into the wind (which kept speeding up) & into the setting sun, bird must land in a square, or a no bird was called. Got so bad one lady had 5 no-birds in a row, changed out gunners 3 times, eventually I believe steps were taken to ensure No-more No-birds, and they still had them because the bird would blow back into the gunners blind (it was terrible), and no one was more angry than the Gunners.
I do believe the gun-steward is responsible for ensuring a club has the best gunners available, and they shouldn't just put anyone out there, but there is not a gunner alive who doesn't hate no-birds. I don't know of anyone who wouldn't gladly give up their spot to a better shooter. So if you are that better shooter, get off you buttocks and get out there; if your not might as well quit whining, we're not payed for this. Still if Judges want to switch gunners out after 1 no-bird, I'm completely fine with it; there are many other things; I could be doing with my Sat & Sun. I do wish them very good luck finding other shooters, on the Property; particularly those clubs that for some reason or other always hold their events during hunting season, a few even on Opener.
That's a really fun call to answer when you're out in a duck blind; "Hey we're having problems, can you come out to shoot (I doubt it, I'm 3 hours away hunting). What about XYZ?, (Well they're sitting in the Blind beside me, but let me ask ) (Hold on a second...QUACK..BOOM)... (I'm back; XYZ say they'd love too; but I have the keys, so unfortunately they're marooned )....AHHH!!! Do you know anyone who can come out to shoot!!!?...(Umm, you are aware that it's Duck Opener Right?, in fact what the heck are you doing there )... <phone goes quite> Blah(wife) Blah(kids) Blah(gun steward)> ..(QUACK QUACK QUACK...BOOM BOOM...KOTA...(Hey dude, We got a sailor, I'm gonna have to let you go, but good luck) <chorus from the background>, GOODBYE; have fun at the HT, We miss you LOL) click.

I'm much more bothered when the judges don't call no bird when it should be called. An angled in flyer vs 23 getting well out there and angled back is an unfair test. A no bird is a no bird and should be called. I'll never fuss at the gunners, I've missed my fair share and alway end up shootig it seems.

Sometimes the average is anything but average
Brian Hayes
Facts About Factorials
It all begins with the factorial function, a familiar item of furniture in several areas of mathematics, including combinatorics and probability theory. The factorial of a positive whole number n is the product of all the integers from 1 through n inclusive. For example, the factorial of 6 is 1×2×3×4×5×6=720.
The standard notation for the factorial of n is "n!". This use of the exclamation point was introduced in 1808 by Christian Kramp, a mathematician from Strasbourg. Not everyone is enthusiastic about it. Augustus De Morgan, an eminent British mathematician and logician, complained in 1842 that the exclamation points give "the appearance of expressing surprise and admiration that 2, 3, 4, &c. should be found in mathematical results."
One common application of the factorial function is in counting permutations, or rearrangements of things. If six people are sitting down to dinner, the number of ways they can arrange themselves at the table is 6!. It's easy to see why: The first person can choose any of the six chairs, the next person has five places available, and so on until the sixth diner is forced to take whatever seat remains.
The factorial function is notorious for its rapid rate of growth: 10! is already in the millions, and 100! is a number with 158 decimal digits. As n increases, n! grows faster than any polynomial function of n, such as n 2 or n 3, or any simple exponential function, such as 2 n or e n . Indeed you can choose any constant k, and make it as large as you please, and there will still be some value of n beyond which n! exceeds both n k and k n . (On the other hand, n! grows slower than n n .)
The steep increase in the magnitude of n! becomes an awkward annoyance when you want to explore factorials computationally. A programming language that packs integers into 32 binary digits cannot reach beyond 12!, and even 64-bit arithmetic runs out of room at 20!. To go further requires a language or a program library capable of handling arbitrarily large integers.
In spite of this inconvenience, the factorial function is an old favorite in computer science as well as in mathematics. Often it is the first example mentioned when introducing the concept of recursion, as in this procedure definition:
define f!(n) if n=1 then return 1 else return n*f!(n-1)
One way to understand this definition is to put yourself in the place of the procedure: You are the factorial oracle, and when someone gives you an n, you must respond with n!. Your task is easy if n happens to be 1, since calculating 1! doesn't take much effort. If n is greater than 1, you may not know the answer directly, but you do know how to find it: just get the factorial of n–1 and then multiply the result by n. Where do you find the factorial of n–1? Simple: Ask yourself—you're the oracle!
This self-referential style of thinking is something of an acquired taste. For those who prefer looping to recursions, here is another definition of the factorial:
define f!(n) product:=1 for x in n downto 1 product:=product * x return product
In this case it's made explicit that we are counting down from n to 1, multiplying as we go. Of course we could just as easily count up from 1 to n; the commutative law guarantees that the result will be the same. Indeed, we could arrange the n numbers in any of n! permutations. All the arrangements are mathematically equivalent, although some ways of organizing the computation are more efficient than others.

how do you feel about Episode 2?
It's my favorite SW movie
I love it as much as some of my other favorite movies
It was better than at least several of the SW films
It was better than Episode One
It brought everything down another notch
It sucked
Long after the movie's left theaters, and the DVD release hype has passed,
how do you feel about Episode 2?
It was allright! to many special effects!

I still don't personally own it on DVD but I still love watching it when I can on cable. I'm still up in the air whether or not I would call this movie my favorite but it's definately a contender.

I'm in love with the women of Univision.
I guess this movie was alright, if not compared to the original trilogy. The only thing that really turned me off about this movie was Anakin's behavior. For 90% of the movie, he acts like a brat, then suddenly Amidala is in love with him, and by the end of the movie, they're married! And they limited that to a 30 second scene!They should've built upon their relationship more, made it more gradual, as it really is the basis for the whole storyline.
I liked it better than Episode one, but it's not greater than the the originals. I still feel the same way I did about it then as I do now, but with less enthusiasm for the film. That is, I like watching it, but I don't get that same thrill when I watch it now.
Back and more bearded than ever before
I liked it, and I think it built nicely on the groundwork laid in Episode 1.
As for Anakin's whiney behaviour, nice to see like father, like son

I'm not as fond of it as I once was, and to be honest I now feel that I prefer The Phantom Menace. Unlike all the other Star Wars movies I don't feel like I can watch AOTC again, and again, and again as much as I can with TPM and the other movies. It's still an enjoyable movie, but not as enjoyable now that it has settled down into the Star Wars universe.

My DVD Collection
I have to agree with Pendo. After watching the DVD once or twice I'm just not into it like the other flicks. I can't watch the whole thing anymore, just the action sequences. After finally watching the commentary a month ago I got really turned off. Boy did it blow big time. Too much Ricky-dick, Pablo and the gang and not enough GLu and Burtt: the only two interesting ones in the whole bunch.
"I'm just a YES man trying to make my way in the universe." - Jango McCallum
"Good dialogue and smooth editing are no match for a good YES man by your side, kid." - George Lucas
I feel the same as JBF. I like it better the Episode 1, but it doesn't come close to the OT. I love the OT, and had EP I & II came out when I was a kid, I can't say that I'd like Star Wars as much as I do now. I think George Lucas got a little to old before he made TPM and AOTC. Whhen he made the OT everything was fresh and exciting, or maybe I've just become old and my visions of what I thought the first two movies would be like don't match what we got.

Brazil had a sizzling August. Average temperature was almost two degrees above historical average. But both beer and soft drinks productions were down, according to UBS Gustavo Piras Oliveira and team. Are Brazilians not thirsty?
Blame this on the taxes. Companies are passing on higher sales taxes to consumers. Higher unit prices eat into low-income consumers' purchasing power. As a result, they buy fewer drinks. Companies adjust accordingly and lower productions. Taxes also affects companies' profitability, as they are unable to pass 100% of the taxation onto consumers. It is all Economics 101.
UBS prefers Anheuser-Busch InBev (BUD) and Kirin Holdings (KIRI) for their diverse portfolio and holds Neutral on Ambev (ABV) and Coca-Cola FEMSA (KOF).

Where I stayed
What I did
Stayed in Hershey
We're in pretty good shape compared to the locals though – across the street from our hotel, the Pizza Hut building fell apart, a Wendy's fa�ade was blown out by water, and a McDonald's got totally trashed. It's like Hershey's own "death row" down there. Meanwhile, the capital city of Harrisburg and the Susquehanna River Valley to the west of us, got creamed even worse. News reports were saying that they got twelve – yeah "12" – inches of water in 24 hours
After breakfast, Kae and Lay took a two-hour swim in the hotel pool, and I went for a jog around town to see some of the damage. We all opted to lay low today, and not try to hustle off to Amish Country or to Gettysburg because it is our understanding that most every community is dealing with floods. We've got our own here, so while travel an hour to see someone else's?
By mid-afternoon, the day's drizzle had tapered off and we all piled in the car to drive around and see some of the destruction and mayhem. Like I said already – it's a big mess around here. Though most of the water in Hershey is off the roads now, surface streets are covered in mud and lots of folks are pumping water out of their basements. Several cars lay around abandoned – obviously washed to a location where their owner's did not leave them initially. A ten-foot section of highway got totally ripped up – it sank a couple of feet below the level of the rest of the roadway like a massive sinkhole
Downtown Hershey seemed to escape the obvious damage, although almost every business we saw was closed for the day – it sounded like people just couldn't either get home from work yesterday or make it in to work today. The Reese's factory and the Hershey factory both have massive parking lots – and both were essentially empty.
Low spots – like the golf course and parks were swamped in moving muddy water – reminded me of chocolate syrup. Mmm, tasty! It feels like a "snow day" around here – except that there is no snow.
Anyway, the four of us did try to check out the chocolate factory despite the closure – it was deserted, and we won't be able to find out until tomorrow if it'll open back up or not. However, the air downtown definitely smelled liked chocolate – that was pretty awesome.
After grabbing an early dinner at a diner in the next town over, we went grocery shopping and Kae, Lay ad I each got our "official" chocolate for the trip: if we couldn't get it at the factory, at least we were able to buy it in town. I think my Hershey bar was the "freshest" chocolate I have ever tasted! Kae and Lay said the same thing about theirs. Must be something to that….
On the way back to the hotel we found our first Pennsylvania geocache (thanks Goodyear). When we got to the hotel we found the place to be totally dark. It turns out that the power went out while we were gone. To boot, all the water now has to be boiled prior to drinking. So, for now, we're enjoying what little light we have left and looking forward to furthering our adventure tomorrow.

Need a 30-minute dinner with tasty chicken breasts? Grab a skillet, some sassy salsa and a few extras.
Make a quick chicken tortilla sandwich by cooking just the chicken breasts as directed. Spread 4 tortillas each with 2 tablespoons salsa and sprinkle with 1/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese to within 1 inch of edge. Place chicken breast in center, and fold sides of tortilla over chicken. Microwave briefly to melt cheese.

Buddy became part of our family two years ago. We had just lost our beloved bulldog Ozzy and were heartbroken. A friend of ours contacted us with her sympathies and informed us if we ever needed a bulldog fix to come visit. She had four beautiful bulldogs and guess what? One of them just had a litter. Well, I couldn't stand it. I needed my fix. We decided to visit a few weeks later. On our ride to her place my husband insisted that we were not getting a puppy. It was too soon. Well, funny thing, within minutes of seeing the puppies my husband turned to me and said, "I really like that red one." Well, lo and behold, a couple weeks later we got Buddy along with his silly brother, Baxter. Baxter was the coolest guy ever. He was only with us for 14 months but he made everyday count and we will never forget that little stinker. He will forever be in our hearts.
Buddy has grown into the sweetest, friendliest guy. He gets along with every person and every animal that he encounters. He loves to play with his big black lab brother Bonkers. He enjoys getting out and about whether it's simply a car ride to the bank or an outing to the farmer's market or a little walk down the block. He is one social guy! When he's not being social he likes snuggling on the sofa and watching TV. Oh, and he loves vegetables! How silly is that?
Buddy is truly everyone's buddy and we love him so much.
Thank you so much for selecting Buddy for Bulldog of the Month!
Karen, Buddy, Treadmill Guy, and Bonkers the Black Lab

Things just aren't getting any better for municipal bond funds, which posted a third straight week of billion-dollar withdrawals, this time totaling $2.22 billion in the week ended Wednesday, per just-released Lipper data.
The same muni funds and ETFs had reported $1.61 billion in net outflows in the prior week and $1.47 billion in investor withdrawals the week before that. The four-week moving average of fund flows fell to a remarkably negative $1.36 billion average net outflow. In more normal times weekly muni fund flows typically average somewhere in the vicinity of $500 million, and land on the positive side of the ledger more often than not.
This spring's extended woes for the municipal bond market have still failed to abate, as the muni market endured some typical early-spring struggles due to recurring seasonal factors, only to be hit further by May's bond sell-off and then the most recent post-Fed broad-based bond sell-off this week. All of this despite muni credit quality remaining pretty solid.
The iShares S&P National AMT-Free Muni Bond (MUB) fund closed down 1.76% to $104.08 Thursday, down from $107.23 a week earlier and down 5.26% since early May.

Where I stayed
Uncle Changs
I hadn't been diving for about 3 years, and Laura hadn't been for months either, so we were quite nervous trying to remember everything. Luckily Rok is a Divemaster, with over 500 dives to his name, so he sat us down for half an hour and went through all the hand signals and the specifics about decompression and how to avoid our lungs exploding. This was very lucky because with this being Borneo, they're not exactly ship shape when it comes to safety. Now I think about it, I never once had to actually prove that I had a SCUBA Diving licence, I just said I did. There were no refresher courses or even someone in charge- they just took us out in a boat and dumped us over the side. Well, I guess you get what you pay for. :)
We stayed at Uncle Changs resort
Coming back from the beach one day we saw some local kids playing with a sharks head. A woman passing by explained that about 50 sharks had just been killed that morning and their fins cut off just to make soup, and that their bodies were just around the corner if we would like to see them. This really is one of the most dispicable acts we manage as humans. One hundred million sharks are killed every year, mostly for their fins. Yes, you read that right. 100 million. Most of the time the sharks are still alive when they're dumped back into the ocean, and then just sink to the bottom and die a slow, painful death. I don't even want to write about it any more because I get so angry.

As air travel resumes in the United States, the search continues for measures to deny would-be hijackers access to planes and to frustrate their efforts if they make it on board.
Beyond strengthening cockpit doors and arming crews with stun guns or other suitable means of defense, we cannot escape the more basic issue: what to do if the crew is overpowered. In that situation the task is to create what the military call a fail-safe system.
Unlike most aspects of the challenge before us, which require complex political and military responses, there may be a technical fix that can prevent the diversion of commercial aircraft to deadly purpose. The concept is relatively simple: Once hijack alarms are installed in cockpits, it should be possible to link them to automatic interlocks that prevent a hijacker from controlling the planes course.
There are several ways in which this might be done. Ideally, planes should have multiple devices to signal that hijackers are taking over the cockpit, e.g. not only accessible buttons activated by the crew but perhaps messages sent automatically on the basis of any forced entry into the cockpit. Once a coded signal was transmitted from a plane being hijacked, an onboard computer could freeze the plane on autopilot, pending release by the insertion of a prescribed code. One option would be to pre-program each aircraft before takeoff with a safe automatic course to be flown if the hijack alarm is activated. Safe would not mean that the lives of the passengers would be assured. It would mean that no hijacker could turn an aircraft into a weapon against targets on the ground or in the air.
A system of this kind would also respond to the specific concerns associated with Reagan National Airports proximity to key national facilities. The preset program could apply on landing and takeoff, as well as during other stages of the flight, ensuring that any attempt to divert a plane as it departed or approached the runway would simply move it onto a route away from potential targets.
While the code enabling resumption of control by the cockpit might be available to the pilot, it would probably be wiser to require that such a code be held by ground controllers and made available only on receipt of reliable confirmation that authorized flight personnel were again in command of the aircraft. Requiring intervention from the ground would deny a hijacker the option of extracting the release code from the onboard crew by threat or torture. And, to discourage the murder of crew members, the procedure might call for at least two of them to signal that the pilot had regained control of the cockpit.
The concept has problematic features. For many reasons one would hesitate to remove control of a plane from the pilot. If a pilot could regain control only by authorization from the ground, then it would be essential to devise highly secure and redundant communications to enable necessary codes to reach the plane, if warranted. The system would also have to make sure that the planes heading placed it in range of suitable ground (or possibly satellite) links. More elaborate possibilities for the future might permit ground control to force the aircraft into an automated landing routine, but for the near term it should be relatively simple to provide alarms that block hijackers from setting an aircraft on an impermissible flight path.
The schemes advantage is clear: the technology would frustrate hostile takeover by hijackers bent either on using the plane for attack or flying it to a destination of their choice. Most importantly, installing and advertising such arrangements should contribute greatly to deterrence of future hijacking. They would not prevent terrorism against the plane or passengers; bombers could still blow them out of the sky or wait until the fuel was exhausted and a crash was unavoidable. But technology of this type should be an effective barrier against the kinds of threats that brought such terrible results on September 11.
Another aspect of the idea is worth noting. One of the great worries arising while hijacked planes were in the air with unknown destinations concerned the possibility that one or more of them might have to be shot down. Flushing interceptors to seek them out points toward a decision that no one could make with confidence, namely, to destroy an aircraft carrying innocent passengers. That issue arose in the minutes before United Airlines flight 93 went down in Pennsylvania, apparently short of its intended target. Memories of the Soviet shoot-down of the Korean airliner more than a decade ago flickered through the memories of many. Frantic discussions among officials revealed how difficult it would be to take action against a commercial airliner, even though the president did give the order to do so, if UA 93 had approached a presumed target.
It is not sufficient reassurance to know that the president has now pre-delegated authority for designated Air Force generals to make such a horrific decision. Linking hijack alarms with a lockout of course control would resolve those dilemmas. By denying hijackers the ability to redirect an aircraft the proposed system might spare authorities so dreadful a choice. It would also provide time for military planes to scramble and escort the commercial aircraft to an acceptable landing site.
To implement safeguards of this type would require close study and evaluation, but they represent one concrete measure to cope with the specific danger that became so real in New York and Washington. As part of the broader program to reduce the vulnerability of innocent citizensand to deal with those who exploit that vulnerability such safeguards deserve consideration.

From Darwin the cyclists will pedal across the Outback on the legendary Stuart Highway with its quirky roadhouses & unforgettable road trains. Three rest days in Alice Springs allows you time to visit the magnificent Uluru (Ayers Rock). South of Alice, the riders will get a sense of the desolate beauty of Australia's deserts before entering wine country and the relaxed city of Adelaide. The cyclists now cruise along the coast on the gorgeous Great Ocean Road, stopping for a couple days in Melbourne and its arts and coffee scenes. Refreshed, you will now climb up into the 'Australian Alps' before swinging down through Canberra, the country's capital, and on into cosmopolitain Sydney, finishing at the city's beautiful Opera House.
A couple days later the riders will fly into Auckland, New Zealand to begin the second half of their Down Under cycling adventure. Heading south after exploring this friendly city, the cyclists will pedal through a hilly landscape dotted with volcanic peaks and hot springs. Next up are some of the country's finest vineyards and the gorgeous harbour in Wellington. A scenic ferry ride takes the cyclists to the south island, one of the most gorgeous locales in the world. The ride will take the riders along the island's western coast and features crashing waves, sculpted rocks, hanging glaciers and stunning mountains before the tour comes to a close in friendly, picturesque Queenstown.
Our epic Trans-Oceania ride begins in tropical Darwin, which has evolved from "brawling frontier outpost" to cosmopolitan small city, fuelled by mining, tourism and crocodiles. After stocking up and making sure we have plenty of Fosters in the "eskie" (cooler) we'll head off on the Stuart Highway and into the Outback, a vast tract of "scrublands, red desert sands, and galloping roadside Emus." 300 km down the road our first rest day will be in the town of Katherine from where riders can visit the picturesque sandstone gorges at Nitmiluk National Park or the Cutta Cutta Caves. Continuing south we'll encounter the fascinating ghost town of Newcastle Waters before arriving in Tennant Creek, which services the region's remote cattle stations and aboriginal communities. Further on we'll pass by piles of gigantic boulders known as the Devil's Marbles and camp at roadhouses en route to Alice Springs, known to locals simply as "Alice." Here, a triple rest day marks the end of this section and will give our intrepid cyclists plenty of time for the 450 km side trip by bus or by plane to astonishing Uluru (Ayers Rock).
Continuing south from Alice through Australia's desolate "red heart", with road trains and kangaroos as our companions, we'll eventually arrive in the opal mining center of Coober Pedy, which has been the base for "end of the world' movies including Mad Max. Then it's across the government-owned Woomera Prohibited Area, the western world's largest ground and airspace weapons testing range, to the eerie village of Woomera, home to rocket scientists and a Missile Park. Our tran-Outback "rideabout" ends at Port Augusta, the "Crossroads of Australia," at the top of Spencer Gulf. From there it's a 3 day spin through South Australia's fabled wine country to the sophisticated city of Adelaide, which is renowned for its many festivals and culinary delights. After our month long journey down the Stuart Highway, Adelaide may feel like the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Here you can spend your rest day visiting the superb central market, wandering thru botanical gardens and art galleries, or imbibing Shiraz and Riesling at the National Wine Centre.
This 12 day section highlights the South Australia and Victoria State coastlines. Our reluctance to leave Adelaide's wine bars behind is quickly forgotten, as we cross the Murray River and cycle along the Limestone Coast through the fertile lagoon landscapes of Coorong National Park. We will wind our way past Discovery Bay to the whale watching centre of Warrnambool. The incredibly scenic 250 km Great Ocean Road, an Australian National Heritage, begins at Allansford, and takes us along the rugged Shipwreck and Surf coasts, through rainforests, and past sheer cliffs, waterfalls, and fantastic rock formations including the 12 Apostles. This stretch of our expedition ends in Melbourne, Oz's 2nd largest city and the centre of its rabid Aussie Rules Football (footy) culture. Melbourne is packed with attractions, and you'll have a couple rest days to explore its vibrant atmosphere, from laid-back laneways and lush parks to grand museums and sumptuous restaurants.
This section of our two-wheeled odyssey takes us across the much varied terrain of Oz's south-east corner. After cycling through Gippsland Lakes Coastal Park, we leave the Tasman Sea behind, and climb over the Australian Alps on secondary roads, into the planned city of Canberra, the national capital and political heart. The excitement builds as we enter New South Wales and near the end of the Australian portion of our journey, world class and diverse Sydney. No doubt we'll celebrate long and hard, in true Aussie style, as we spin up it's magnificent natural harbour and clamber off our bikes at the iconic Opera House.
This beautiful section begins in the country's largest city – Auckland – also known as the 'City of Sails'. After a day or two of sightseeing in this laid-back city, the riders will head south and be treated to some of the world's most scenic highlights – Lake Taupo, Tongariro National Park and the hot springs/mud geysers around Rotorua. Next up is a rest day in Napier and the Hawke's Bay wine region. After a day of sipping on the famous New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs, the cyclists will continue through orchards, sheep-clad rolling hills and yet more vineyards before arriving in beautiful Wellington, the country's cultural capital and the end of this incredible section.
The last, and perhaps most beautiful, section of the Trans-Oceania begins with a gorgeous ferry ride across the Cook Strait from Wellington to Picton. Riders will spin off through misty peaks and along placid bays before emerging onto the shores of the Tasman Sea. The west coast of New Zealand's South Island is spectacular: the stunning Pancake Rocks, rushing rivers pouring into the ocean, snow-clad peaks, wild kiwis, the Fox & Franz Joseph glaciers, mysterious caves, abandoned mine shafts, empty beaches, hot springs and much more. Five days later the route heads inland past Lakes Wanaka & Hawea before heading up the Cardona River and its abandoned goldfields. Cyclists will now pedal along the shores of Lake Wakatipu before ending their incredible journey in the country's adventure capital, Queenstown.

I have started moving from using mostly Netscape to mostly Mozilla. This is still a difficult task for someone who works for a web company with designers who worship at the alter of flash and DHTML.I have persevered (with bug reports) where previously I would have gone back to Netscape. Mozilla 0.9.5 is certainly an improvement on any previous version though there's still room for improvement (I know, I know, get on and do it then!)
Fortunately for Bryce there has been a reprieve for Piranha. Various bits of PHP and C lie in patch files on my machine not looked at for a week. I'll wait until he's really busy to send it to him :)
The shift in excitement (away from Piranha) has been caused by Web Services and my current role as evaluator of company policy. I thought web services was something we'd been doing all along - since we're a company in the services sector doing web stuff... how wrong was I? The basic framework is extremely exciting and putting aside the huge hype that currently exists around Microsoft .NET and loking at offerings from other companies I've realised this whole revolution has been going on for ages and totally bypassed me. I am swamped in material on XML, UDDI,and long whitepapers produced by IBM.
Those in the UK and with an interest in Digital TV and Public Sector Broadcasting should check out Oftel's Review of pricing of conditional access services and related issues. There are various questions in here that Oftel raise and responses can be emailed to them.
Had a car trauma day on Thursday. Noticed cracked windscreen as I was dropping car off for MOT (32 quid), lead to me spending part of the afternoon at Autoglass getting a new one (60 quid), and then having to go back to the garage as I'd left my debit card there and they'd given me the wrong MOT certificate. When all this was sorted, about 4pm, I got to the Post Office to buy the car tax and found they don't take plastic. Nearest ATM was at Cribbs so fought through end of school holiday traffic hell there and back to get cash and finally the tax disc. Got home at 5:30 feeling exhausted and as if I'd wasted my day off work.
Just remembered I have 25 days till I go to the US... now where's my passport?

Finally found a Jungle Cutter at CC TRU. They had a cart infront of the SpeedRacer stuff with Hulk, Speed R., and IJ figs,.. with one IJ vehicle asst. box. I ripped into it as soon as the coast was clear.
La Cienega TRU & Target had a few Indy figs & TFU SW
CC Target had the same
*edit* CC TRU also had SW comic two packs. They had that Crimson Guard two pack, wasn't that a starwarsshop exclusive?

Dominance Scale
Posted August 5, 2008; 10:58 a.m.
Who's dominant? Princeton University scientists studying computer-generated composites of human faces found that the least dominant face (with a score of -8) had a babyface quality while the face judged to be most dominant possessed characteristics such as a squared, broad chin.
