Toxoplasmosis is an infection due to the parasite Toxoplasma gondii.
Toxoplasmosis is found in humans worldwide and in many kinds of animals and birds. The parasite lives in cats.
Human infection may result from:
Toxoplasmosis also affects people who have weakened immune systems.
The infection may also be passed from an infected mother to her baby through the placenta. This results in congenital toxoplasmosis.
There may be no symptoms. If there are symptoms, they usually occur about 1 to 2 weeks after contact with the parasite. The disease can affect the brain, lung, heart, eyes, or liver.
Symptoms in persons with otherwise healthy immune systems can include:
Symptoms in people with a weakened immune system can include:
The doctor or nurse will perform a physical exam. Tests that may be done include:
Persons without symptoms usually do not need treatment.
Medicines to treat the infection include an antimalarial drug and antibiotics. AIDS patients should continue treatment for as long as their immune system is weak to prevent the disease from reactivating.
With treatment, people with a healthy immune system usually recover well.
The disease may return.
In people with a weakened immune system, the infection may spread throughout the body, leading to death.
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you develop symptoms of toxoplasmosis. Immediate medical care is needed if symptoms occur in:
Immediate medical treatment is also needed if the following symptoms occur:
Tips for preventing this condition:
Pregnant women and those with weakened immune systems should take the following precautions:
Pregnant women and those with HIV should be screened for toxoplasmosis. A blood test can be done.

Sonja Teri relocated to Los Angeles from the east coast with her eyes set on the world of fashion. She held the position as US Marketing Director for a large European fashion brand and then began wardrobe styling. After delving in a little deeper and styling for various magazines, look books and catalogues…she changed courses and began work at Swindle Magazine.
In 2004, soon after the first issue launched, Sonja became the Advertising Director and Style Editor and later the Brand Director. During her time at Swindle, Sonja oversaw all advertising initiatives, developed multi-platform media proposals, and produced and executed all events. She worked extensively with brands such as Campari, Honda, LeSportsac, Mini Cooper, Motorola, Nike, Toyota, Vans, W Hotels, Puma, and Microsoft. Sonja worked on the publication's 20 issues until it closed in 2009.
During that same period, Sonja built the boutique media agency, R. Rock Enterprises. As Director of Business Development, Sonja was implemental in bringing the agency's largest clients to the table. With the agency's overall focus in cutting edge culture and art related influencer-marketing campaigns, she worked with clients and developed full-scale customized proposals. She supervised on-site projects including book and artist tours, special events, site-specific wall murals, pop-up shops, art shows and custom publishing projects.
Working with a wide range of artists and understanding the audience and demand for their work gave Sonja the idea to start a print business focusing on selling high-quality limited edition silkscreen-prints making art accessible to collectors of all stripes — from novice art enthusiasts to established connoisseurs.
In 2009, Sonja started Poster Child Prints (PCP). With over 30 artists on the roster within the first few years, the website has grown rapidly with a large collector base.
After leaving RRE in 2009, Sonja embarked on her own on a path of art related consulting services helping artists and galleries worldwide, produce and promote their exhibitions to public masses and global media outlets. With her strong personal relationships and extensive list of contacts, Sonja uses non-tradition marketing tactics to garner press attention for artists, art galleries and other creative establishments worldwide.
Over the past 10 years, Sonja has worked with some of today's most well known artists and has watched their careers flourish including: Banksy, Claw Money, Curtis Kulig, David Choe, Dalek, FriendsWithYou, FAILE, Gary Panter, Jim Houser, JR, Judith Supine, Kime Buzelli, Mark Mothersbaugh, Mike Giant, Mr. Brainwash, Pose, Retna, Revok, Saber, Shepard Fairey, Skullphone, Tim Armstrong and many more…
Sonja's recent focus on art curating, consulting and buying for private collectors has lead her to numerous commercial projects for offices, restaurants, salons and homes in the Los Angeles area. Some of Sonja's most recent art installation and curating projects can be viewed here.

Ultra Compact 8,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner and Dehumidifier
Description & Highlights
EdgeStar 8,000 BTU Ultra Compact Portable Air Conditioner - White
Coverage Area
The AP8000W is equipped with 8,000 BTUs of cooling power and can effectively cool a room from 150 square feet to 250 square feet in size, which is roughly 15' x 17'. This compact, yet powerful portable air conditioner is perfect for cooling bedrooms. The AP8000W doubles as a 50 pint dehumidifier, which removes excess moisture from the air helping the space feel even cooler and improving air quality.
How to Install
- Step 1: Place window kit plate into window opening.
- Step 2: Slide plate to cover the width of the opening.
- Step 3: Close window to hold plate in place.
- Step 4: Attach exhaust hose to the unit.
- Step 5: Place the other end of the exhaust hose into the hole on the window plate.
To easily vent the portable air conditioner, the AP8000W includes a window kit that can conveniently be fitted in windows that are 28 1/2" - 56" in size. For larger windows or use in sliding glass doors, purchase the APPK2010 kit which expands up to 83". Window kits for portable air conditioners take up much less space than installing a window air conditioner, which means you don't have to worry about blocking the light or view from your window.
Self-Evaporative System
Built with an automatic drain system that is able to exhaust all liquid formed by condensation so that there is no need to manually drain the unit in most climates.
Automatic Restart
The intelligent design auto restart function stores your selected settings so that in the event of a power failure the unit will restart just as before when the electricity comes back on.
Three Fan Speeds
Choose between high, medium, and low fan speeds to find the perfect setting for air output and noise.
Dehumidify Only Mode
With a 50 pints per day capacity, the AP8000W can be used to rid your space of excess humidity.
Control Panel
1. Power
Switches unit on/off.
2. Mode
Cool, dehumidify and fan only mode.
3. Fan
Choose between high/medium/low fan speed.
4. Timer
24 hour programmable timer.
5. Up / Down
Increases temperature or time when timer is enabled. Decreases temperature or time when timer is enabled.
6. LED Display
Shows ambient temperature, set temperature, and hours when timer is in use.
All of the settings on the unit can be conveniently controlled from across the room via the remote control.
Condensate is expelled from the unit through the hose, but in more humid climates where moisture is more prevalent, the excess moisture can be drained through the drain in the back of the unit.
No Restriction
For spaces where window air units are not allowed, portable air conditioners are a great alternative as they do not protrude from the outside, allowing them to comply with building codes and HOA's.
Non-Permanent Installation
As long as there is a place to vent the hot air and a standard electrical outlet available, portable air conditioners can be used wherever and whenever needed and easily moved or stored when not in use.
Cut Costs
Instead of turning down your central A/C unit for that one room that is always a few degrees hotter than the rest, Portable ACs can be an efficient way to cool hot spots in your home without sacrificing your electricity bill.
User Friendly
Easy to connect and operate, portable air conditioners can be used wherever and whenever needed and easily moved or stored when not in use.
Optional Accessories
5 Pack Filters For AP8000W
Helps to remove smoke, odor and contaminants from the air.
AC Vent Kit for Sliding Glass Doors and Large Windows
Upgrade your installation options with this large window and sliding door vent kit.

Actually, aren't we ALL immigrants. Even Native Americans came here from somewhere else
One characteristic of all previous immigrants was that they came here with no expectations except to work hard to improve their lives. They followed whatever laws were in place at the time. There was no safety net of any kind, except that, in some cases, they would be free of persecution they experienced in their own countries; and that there was an "opportunity" (not a guarantee) for improvement of their circumstances.
The present group of illegal immigrants are ostensibly coming for the same reasons as other immigrants, but they also realize they are breaking laws to do so, and do it anyhow. They also have found that they can take advantage of benefits they wouldn't have in their own countries. Even illegals get to use the emergency rooms at no charge. Do they have that in their home countries? Many anchor babies get born in US hospitals. Would they have that benefit in their home countries?
So, this group is not only coming to improve their opportunity for the fruits of hard work, they are also coming for "free things".
Is there any doubt in anyone's mind that as soon as these millions become legalized, we will not have people saying that it is cruel to deny them social welfare services?

Since you essentialy challenged me, Marv, I have some Native American heritage traceable to four tribes. My European heritage goes back to 1635 on this continent. And that, Marvin, and a buck-50 might buy a regular cup of coffee.
My real point is that the attitude: I-have-mine-and-screw-you--among Republicans is just damn outright petty. So is the fear of new citizens voting Democrat. If the Republicans cannot win the favor of immigrants, maybe it is time they go to charm school. The Republicans are loosing that group because they offer nothing but obstruction and little in the way of customer service to that constituency.

I don't want to feed an ugly dog!
Only today after training dogs, a friend of mine and I tried a new restraurant and had a late breakfast. THE FOOD WAS TERRIBLE. Neither of us will be back. WE FIRED THE COOK, THE WAITRESS, AND THE OWNER!!!!!! No "soft landing for any of them" WE FIRED THEM!!! All of them. Given your logic, we should go back and pay for poor service, and poor food. Maybe you think we feel we "have ours" and screw them! Well you are right. Their pie(service) is not worth buying.
I could care less if some one has millions of times more wealth than I, "Bill Gates?". He provided a service and product which I was willing to buy. I see in so many people envy and jealosy AND EXCUSES for someone having accumulated more than they have. I see them as just looking for an excuse as to why they have not accumulated as much as someone else. ALWAYS THE BAD BUY IS THE ONE THAT HAS MORE!!!!!! They think the bad guy should give them some since they have more. They just want a SOFT LANDING.
I have no doubt that had I not been so stupid I could have accumulated far more than I have. That in nobody's fault but mine. Actually I feel that I paid far too much stupid tax. Again NOBODY'S FAULT BUT MINE.
I tell my son to look for the reasons for others' failures(the tightend of New England Patriots now charged with murder?), and learn from them. Look for the reasons for others' success(again Bill Gates) and learn from them. That would be my advise.
Seal the border- 1,954 miles= 10.2 million feet.
Anyone put up a chain-link fence lately? I figure roughly $200 million for basic 9 gauge, 10 foot high fence, which really isn't much of a deterrant. Add to that about 35 million feet of razor wire To go atop of the chain link. Don't know what that costs, but I bet it isn't cheap.
Then add towers every 1000 feet and man them 24/7. Then, buy and maintain a huge fleet of all terrain vehicles to swap out shifts and perform motorized patrols. Add to that state of the art electronic surveillance systems that also must be maintained and operated/controlled by more personnel. By the way, the personnel? HSA employees, military, or both. Either way, we would have to pay them and provide benefits to them and their families.
We're talking MANY BILLIONS of dollars!
Greta had her allotment of fame during the 1st Gulf War. She should have quit while she was ahead..
A person has to be stupider than stupid if they think a chain link fence is going to keep some one out or any kind of fence for that matter.
As far as citizenship is concerned,,,where have you guys been. THEY DON"T WANT IT they loose all their hand outs if they become citizens AND then they have to pay taxes.
You guys are behind the curve. WAke up
This is insane.

Second half goals secure another three points
Kenny Jackett praised Wolves' second half improvement as they produced a professional performance to overcome Oldham at Molineux and continue an impressive start to the season.
Second half goals from James Henry and Leigh Griffiths – after a torrential downpour had affected the first – saw Wolves chalk up another three points to make it 29 points from the first 12 games of the campaign.
Results elsewhere meant Wolves closed the gap to top two Leyton Orient and Peterborough to three points but Jackett was more concerned with the team's own business and getting the job done on a tricky night.
"The rain came down that heavy in the first half that it did cause a few difficulties," said the Head Coach.
"We started slowly and the first half was cagey for both teams and we didn't threaten the back of Oldham enough.
"Although sometimes that is easier said than done particularly early on in a game.
"The heavens opened and it made the rest of the half tough.
"Danny Batth had a good header and Sako from a free kick and they had a header from a corner.
"When it stopped we had a better second half and created chances and got the goals which won us the game.
"I thought we came into our own and moved the ball well in the second half, we upped the tempo and got the crowd behind us.
"Griffiths got into the game and we started to move off him and I thought James Henry had another good game.
"We played enough good football to create the chances which got us in front and also got an excellent clean sheet which always helps."
There may have been a touch of good fortune about the 50th minute breakthrough as Latics keeper Mark Oxley's parry of Bakary Sako's cross rebounded off Henry.
But the power and pace of the delivery made the goal with Henry showing good intent to be so far forward in a central position.
"We were threatening and were just looking for something to break for us," added Jackett.
"Particularly in these conditions when you whizz it across at pace there are always things going to happen, maybe own goals or deflections, and it becomes a nightmare for defenders.
"We talked about that and at following up at both ends and when we were attacking to get the ball in hard and low.
"On this type of surface and in these conditions it becomes very difficult for defenders to handle.
"If you're not in and around it in that areas as James Henry was then it doesn't hit you to go in.
"It was a crucial goal that opened things up and we had other chances as well as we went on and deserved to win.
"It was then an excellent finish and Griffiths came alive in the second half after being a bit quiet in the first.
"It just shows what he can do and he had other opportunities as well and linked well with Henry down this right hand side."
Jackett was also delighted with a clean sheet as Wolves maintained a very solid start to the season.
The only blot on that landscape was the lost to injury of the so far excellent Matt Doherty, but Jackett said that is where the squad comes in particularly with such a good replacement in Richard Stearman.
"Clean sheets give you a basis to work from but now we lose Matt Doherty with a hamstring injury," Jackett added.
"He has been a very good player for us so far this season.
"We are hoping it's not too bad but need now to cover those areas as injuries do come along when the weather changes.
"We do work very hard to try and eradicate and reduce injuries because that is a big part of any successful team and successful club.
"If we want to get promoted as we are aiming for we will need to work really hard to keep as many players as fit as possible and particularly our better players.
"I don't think he will be out for at this stage but I certainly don't think he will be ready for Saturday.
"But Richard Stearman is an excellent player to come in."

A Jungian analyst provides a new model for understanding the masculine and feminine principles that exist in everyone, providing insight into the events of daily life and the themes of entire lifetimes.
News & Reviews
"At last someone has attempted a reformation of the masculine and feminine principles. Hill frees us from some of the gender-related fallacies that Jungian psychology has for some time fallen heir to. This book represents a wedding of clinical and archetypal poles of Jungian psychology and a distillation of the Jungian approach to psychotherapy. It is essential reading for Jungians as well as non-Jungians, the experienced as well as the novice."—Lawrence W. Jaffe, PhD, author of Liberating the Heart: Spirituality and Jungian Psychology
"Gareth Hill's analysis of the dynamic and static masculine and feminine patterns in the human psyche provides a fresh perspective for clinical theory."—Linda Schierse Leonard, PhD, author of The Wounded Woman and Witness to the Fire
"An extremely well-written, well-informed, and wide-ranging study of the masculine and feminine. Integrates Jungian and non-Jungian approaches in a critical and very useful way. An exceptional book."—Nathan Schwartz-Salant, PhD, author of The Borderline Personality: Vision and Healing
"Hill offers a model of Jungian psychotherapy that is empathic, logical, and shrewd toward those patterns of behavior that traditionally have assumed a gendered guise. His appealing alternative is an open-hearted fluency that knows how to use the various gender possibilities as so many guidelines past which to grow to a wider wholeness."—John Beebe, Editor, San Francisco Jung Institute Library Journal
"Masculine and Feminine, those much-maligned but profound Jungian concepts, have been rescued by Gareth Hill from the junk heaps of jargon and the fury of the gender wars. With great sensitivity to women's struggle against sexual stereotyping and ghettoization, he frees us to see them as elemental patterns that belong to us all."—Naomi Ruth Lowinsky, PhD, author of Stories from the Motherline: Reclaiming the Mother-Daughter Bond
"An original and refreshing approach to a subject that tends to create controversy and discord. Hill has achieved a style of writing, illustrated with interesting diagrams, that does justice to both a linear and cyclic mode of presentation."—Joseph Henderson, MD, author of Thresholds of Initiation
"Masculine and Feminine offers both clinician and theoretician a fresh, well-reasoned, and much needed dynamic theory. Dr. Hill's work advances and deepens our respect for a distinct masculine and feminine psychology by bridging the dichotomy between old polarities with a new and workable paradigm."—Loren E. Pedersen, PhD, author of Dark Hearts: The Unconscious Forces That Shape Men's Lives
"Hill's important contribution to the continuing revision of thought on gender roles in analytical psychology is fascinating and comprehensive. He manages to combine theory and experience in a vivid and readable way for both the clinician and layperson alike. It has changed the way I work and think."—Robert H. Hopcke, author of A Guided Tour of the Collected Works of C. G. Jung; Jung, Jungians, and Homosexuality; and Men's Dream's, Men's Healing

- Description
The Acadian Orogeny took place mainly to the northeast of here. (As the name implies, Acadian-aged rocks are well-exposed in Acadia National Park in coastal Maine.) Along the Billy Goat Trail, they left one set of important structures: a series of four parallel dikes filled with the igneous rock called lamprophyre. ("Lamprophyre" is a fancy name for what is essentially a mafic igneous rock, like more-familiar basalt or diabase). Biotite mica from these dikes has been dated using isotopes of potassium-40 and argon-40 to be about 360 million years old. It's worth noting that the mafic-composition rock which makes up the lamprophyre dikes is less stable than the older metagraywacke that it cuts across: as a result, it weathers out more easily -- making the dikes show up as a series of "slashes" in the surface of the rock face on the Virginia side.
Corresponding gaps in the rock on the Maryland side--that is, on the Billy Goat Trail--represent the extension of the dikes across the span now filled by the Potomac River. There is no lamprophyre left in these gaps; it has all weathered out and tumbled downslope to the river.
There is a pronounced lack of alignment between the Virginia side and the Maryland side. There are two hypotheses for the offset:
(A) An early theory, and still a favorite possibility, is that the dikes were originally straight, and later cut by a fault, which offset the Virginia side to the right, relative to the Maryland side. Such a fault might also help to explain the extremely straight trend of Mather Gorge.
(B) Another possibility is that the dikes were not originally straight. After all, cracks in rock can take on many shapes; they do not have to be planar. Instead, hypothesis B suggests that their original shape was jagged, and they therefore the offset dikes do not show good evidence for a fault underneath Mather Gorge.

Let's Review…
Holy holy! It's the end of the year already and looking back through the past twelve months, I'm really impressed by how great the art and shows were, and also dismayed by how I forgot some of them. So, in case all y'alls have forgotten because of the barrage of great art you have encountered over the year, let's review and savor one last time before the end of the world comes (it'll be 2012, after all).
We began the year with As It Was Before, a two person show by Martin Machado and Todd Freeman with install by Aleksandra Zee.
Then on to February with the resin collage work of Sebastian Wahl's Kaleidoscope Eyes.
In March we had The Letter Collector which was a massive group show with all the artists showing their love of script and type.
With April came American Mythic, Peter Gronquist's use of ebay items and mixed media to create a variety of interesting and tongue-in-cheek works.
Robert Minervini's Sunken Dreams owned May with the geodesic domes settled in quiet dystopian landscapes.
June was a healthy serving of Bad Casserole, David Bayus' mixed media works.
July came with Lisa Congdon's Icelandic inspired works in Boreas with installation by Sarah Applebaum.
We had Gregory Ito's Point of Vision, an exploration in broadening his own perception on time for the whole of August.
Post-apocalyptic Sanguine Machine: Antedeluvian Artifacts from Futures Past by Beau Stanton presented us with creation/destruction in September.
Pakayla Biehn had October superimposed and double-exposed with her paintings in (t)here.
And last but not very least, we finish out the year with Scott Greenwalt's Alchemist, delving into what "change" really means.
Dang. That's a lotta good art.

Ben Quadrinaros (podracer - looks like a seed in a pod)
I like this guy, he really stands out in a crowd and he'd be such a fun, crazy looking figure!
Ben Quadrinaros (podracer - looks like a seed in a pod)
I like this guy, he really stands out in a crowd and he'd be such a fun, crazy looking figure!
GIGANTA: A robot that automatically produces fun!
Even though he probably won't win I'm going with Dud Bolt this round. He's so unique looking that I think he'd make a really interesting figure.
As much as I'd like to see Kitster and Wald produced I think the podracers are a much bigger part of the story in EP I and would pick every one of them first.
Talk Show Host Interviewing Joker: Your said to have only killed about 600 people Joker. Now dont take this the wrong way but I think youve been holding out on us.
Joker: I dont keep count. Im going to kill everyone in this room.
To do a little catching up:
I want all the Amidala outfits and the purple handmaidens, but agree with most everyone else that the Return to Naboo (purple gown) is the must have from this group.
Sei Teria and the brown outfit Valorum, are great candidates for a mail in exclusive.
I also want all the pod racers, Wald, Kitster, and SwokesSwokes, but
Ben Quadinaros has been on my top ten want list since I saw him (he reminds me of one of the "Freakies" from the 70s ceral of the same name.
Well, so far everyone but PLASTICFETISH that is participating in this thread has voted, and we are no closer to deciding who is the most-wanted-Episode-One-character from Tatooine, than we were before. "PF" could break a tie, but we really need more people voting in this thread to produce a clear winner between Quadrinaros and Gragga right now. Wow! This one's tight. And Kitster and Wald are still in the running, too. So voting on Tatooine will remain open as long as voting on all the groups stays open.
Our next stop is the GALACTIC SENATE!
The Coruscant Taxi Driver (not exactly a Bothan, but looks similar)
Edcel Bargan (from Roona I think)
Mot Not Rab
The Rodian Senator (long red cloak)
Ithorian Senator (Hammerhead in long white cloak)
Ando Senator (4-eyed Aqualish like Ponda Baba - almost)
Gran Senator (either from Malastare or Gran homeworld - like Ree-Yees)
E.T. Senator (probably Speilberg's property, but we can try)
Senator Yarua (Wookiee is supposedly confirmed, but we haven't seen it in plastic yet)
Bail Antilles (human from Alderaan, wearing white)
Dang! I really want a lot of these Senators made so I can fill some Senate Speaker Cars and make a scaled down diorama of the senate forum.
I will be voting for Senator Yarua of Kashyyyk because we haven't seen the character in plastic yet, and after 9 years of Star Wars figures, maybe 17 years total if we count Kenner (who almost produced Chewie's wife, father, and child from the Holiday Special) it's about time we got another Wookiee! So inspite of anything else that might come out of Episode 3, I definitely want to see this character happen.
Mot Not Rob is seriously cool looking though, and Edcel Bargan joins him as other alien species we've never had figures of. It's a tough call though, because as far as the characters we have from Ithor, Rodia, and Malastare, they've all been the same criminal characters and we don't have any representation of their nobility from their races - just their trash (Greedo from an exiled clan and a wanna-be bounty hunter, Ponda - a murderer and pirate also wanted for torture, and Ree-Yees a drunk and maniacal killer). Not to mention the Aqualish in the senate is of a different race than Ponda and has 4 eyes.
So I'd say there are 6 good choices here. But I'll stick with Yarua for now.
BAD Pts Need: R5-C7 lf leg (x2), , R4-P44 right leg BAD Pts Offered For Trade: PM me - I have lots of parts now including BG-J38!. New Kyle Katarn is also available.
My vote goes to Bail Antilles
the other's just don't catch me fancy, a close second though it the wookie senator.
GIGANTA: A robot that automatically produces fun!
Wow. Moving right along. A man's gotta work, spend time with his family... wander from store to store hoping to find that J'Quille figure someday.
Anyway -- ouch, more tough choices. looking at these names really does make you wonder why a lot of these didn't get made.
Gragra - This alien actually kind of scares me. (Kidding.) A great deluxe figure maybe, but I doubt they'd ever do it. We should have had a Mos Espa playset.
Wald - As much as a part of me thinks this is lame... another more pathetic part of me that finds itself loving the kid Jedi figures, really wants this figure also.
Kitster (Anakin's friend) - Ditto for this one.
Ann or Tan Gella - I can't believe we never got a set with these and a Sebulba figure. Don't think we'd get them otherwise.
Dud Bolt - A single carded version of any and every racer is great. A must... but we'll probably never have them all.
Ben Quadrinaros - Again... yes!
Mohawnic, Mars Guo, Rats Tyrell, Wan Sandage, Aldar Beedo, Bolls Rohr - yes, yes, yes! But how can we choose one over the other?
Old Jira - This one I don't really want. Maybe with the Mos Espa playset that'll never be made.
OK. I'll vote Wald here. (Warwick beats out the little kid any day.)
The Coruscant Taxi Driver - No.
Edcel Bar Gane - (Yeah, from Roona.) Again, I'm gonna have an impossible time choosing one obscure alien senate figure over another. They're all cool looking, and would make cool figures.
Mot Not Rab, The Rodian Senator, Ithorian Senator, Ando Senator, Gran Senator - Seriously, how can you pick one over another?
E.T. Senator - And he could come with a dangerous disruptor walkie talkie as a weapon.
Senator Yarua - Yeah, OK... we need more Wookies. After playing a lot of KOTOR I'm apt to buy any generic alien -- Wookies for sure -- that comes along. But the Wookie Senator is a must.
Bail Antilles - Wait, was he really in the movie? (I'll have to go back and look now.)
This vote for the Wookie Senator Yarua.
Last edited by plasticfetish; 05-27-2004 at 03:21 AM.
There's a couple I'm not interested in right away:
E.T. Senator (probably Speilberg's property, but we can try) - I hate the fact that these were in the movie, and if I really wanted one of these figures I would just buy the old 3 3/4 version of E.T. from the early 80's.
Bail Antilles (human from Alderaan, wearing white) - We allready had one concept figure from last year and we deffinately don't need another one. Antilles wasn't really in the film, there were some test shots and film literature on him, but he was never in the movie so I'll just bypass the thought of this one.
The Coruscant Taxi Driver (not exactly a Bothan, but looks similar) - If they make the Taxi then I want the figure, but if they don't make the Taxi I would like other figures first!
Now for the meat and potatoes
Edcel Bargan (from Roona I think)
Mot Not Rab
The Rodian Senator (long red cloak)
Ithorian Senator (Hammerhead in long white cloak)
Ando Senator (4-eyed Aqualish like Ponda Baba - almost)
Gran Senator (either from Malastare or Gran homeworld - like Ree-Yees) - All these dudes would be cool to see in plastic, and maybe someday we will see them in plastic.
Senator Yarua (Wookiee is supposedly confirmed, but we haven't seen it in plastic yet) - Like Tycho said we've been waiting forever to see another Wookie (besides the rollplay game version), and this figure has been dangled in front of us during a fan's choice poll, and they said they were going to make him this year! So my question is where is he?
After 11 months The BEST/WORST figure poll is still going strong.
Yarura would be my first choice, but since we're getting a Wookie Senator, my vote goes to Ithorian Senator - always one of my favorite alien species.
Don't really like any of these but if I had to choose 1...
Senator Yarua - as a deluxe figure with a Senate Pod.

Do Doctors Grieve?Friday, June 22nd, 2012
An essay in Sunday's New York Times asks, "Do doctors grieve when their patients die? In the medical profession, such grief is seldom discussed — except, perhaps, as an example of the sort of emotion that a skilled doctor avoids feeling. But in a paper published on Tuesday in Archives of Internal Medicine (and in a forthcoming paper in the journal Death Studies), my colleagues and I report what we found in our research about oncologists and patient loss: Not only do doctors experience grief, but the professional taboo on the emotion also has negative consequences for the doctors themselves, as well as for the quality of care they provide."

The Policy Papers on Countries with Special Needs Series addresses key issues and concerns in reducing development gaps and promoting inclusive, resilient and sustainable development of the countries with special needs in the Asia-Pacific region. The Series aims at generating a forward-looking discussion among policymakers, researchers and other stakeholders to help forge political will and build a regional consensus on the needed policy actions to close development gaps of least developed countries, landlocked developing countries and small island developing states of the region.
Although the global financial crisis of 2008-2009 was the worst economic crisis in over 60 years for many industrial countries, most Asian and Pacific developing countries weathered it quite successfully. The resilience of the region is somewhat puzzling at first sight. In an increasingly globalized world, aren't economic shocks supposed to be transmitted faster and farther than ever before? And shouldn't the largest shock in decades affecting the central financial centres of the world cause substantial ripple effects?

Many governments have established specialized Units or Programmes to develop and supervise PPP projects, which have generally been successful in playing a 'catalytic' role in promoting and developing PPP solutions. They have been particularly relevant in building internal capacity as they allow the concentration and availability of required expertise through the accumulation of experience and the possibility of adequate training. The list of PPP Units and Task Forces active in the Asia-Pacific region is presented in the document.

The aim of this PPP-Readiness Self-Assessment is to provide a diagnostic tool for identifying the key areas that governments need to address in order to involve the private sector more actively in the infrastructure development process.
The key function of the Assessment is that it is to be used to diagnose problems in attracting private investment for infrastructure development as distinct from using it to develop benchmarks against which different sectors or countries could be compared.

The governor had the teeth removed from the ones around the ring but they looked pretty spirited
think this was more because they had been starving for months. Obviously because they had their jaws removed but it wasn't an instant thing.
which makes me think he was lying to andrea about removing their teeth and it being for show.
seems like people have been scratched before, as well as covered in blood and guts almost every episode (from kills) and it doesn't seem to affect anyone.
also i was wondering if rick mentioning zombie scratches in the first season was just ignorance at the time. has anyone actually turned from a scratch?
No reason to lie about it. And we saw earlier in the episode Merle pulling out some teeth from one of the ones they caught. It makes sense that they pulled the teeth because the crowd doesn't realize that, so they think it's all super dangerous when in actuality, it's not
Also didn't understand why Michonne didn't just say her name and explain why she's a friendly. Not like they were going to run a background check on her
That is so unbelievable in retrospect given the rudimentary skills of those guarding the walls and the guys with Merle hunting Michonne.
Andrea's character sucks, but she is the ultimate killing machine. She's an unknowing and unwilling Trojan Horse at this point with no one in Woodbury knowing how much of badass she can be.
If she turns on Johnny Bravo, those patrols better skit skat outa town because she's gonna wreck their shite.
Andrea's character sucks, but she is the ultimate killing machine.
rick and daryl are clearly more skilled at this point, and for as little as we've seen from her, so is michonne.
i get that she can handle herself but didn't she just learn how to shoot like 4 months ago? she's basically a 3 month improvement on carl.
rick and daryl are clearly more skilled at this point, and for as little as we've seen from her, so is michonne.
is she??
I'd throw Glenn into that group too. And Maggie is pretty much as effective as her
not to mention clearly the group spent the winter honing their skills while Andrea was sick and being cared for by Michonne
You would think Glenn would have gotten a few scratches in that fight with the walker. Heck, for a second I thought he got bitten on the arm. But then again he had that duck tape on his arm. Just one more thing duck tape is good for - anti zombie armor.
I wouldn't be surprised to see the Governor lock Merle up in chains prior to the fight breaking out. He knows he can't trust him
You totally missed the conversation between her and Michonne at the beginning of this season. Andrea had just gotten sick, but for the 8-10 months prior she had been honing her skills with Michonne saving her life multiple times, that's WHY Michonne was going out of her way to save Andrea at the beginning of the season. She owed Andrea.
she is too unpredictable

PRISM hosts videoconference with space station, Oct. 6
Posted October 4, 2005; 03:09 p.m.
The Princeton Institute for the Science and Technology of Materials (PRISM) is hosting a brief videoconference Thursday, Oct. 6, with one of its industrial partners, local businessman Greg Olsen, who is on board the International Space Station.
The conference is scheduled for 6:05 to 6:30 p.m. in the Bowen Hall auditorium and is open to members of the University and local communities. Anyone interested in attending should arrive at the auditorium by 5:45 p.m. because last-minute adjustments to the transmission schedule are possible. Visitors are encouraged to check the PRISM Web site for schedule changes.
Olsen is the founder and chairman of Sensors Unlimited Inc., a longtime partner of Princeton's Center for Optoelectronic Materials, which is part of PRISM. Olsen, the third private citizen to go into space, is traveling under contract with the Russian Federal Space Agency and arrived for an eight-day stay at the space station Monday, Oct. 3. He will perform experiments for the European Space Agency.
The videoconference will be simulcast in 6 Friend Center, and a Webcast will be available through the Sensors Unlimited site. For more information, contact Joe Montemarano, the PRISM director for industrial liaison.

There are not, I've watched the entire game again, he's not a bad QB, I'm not saying that, but he doesn't hit receivers in stride as consistently as many other QB's in the NCAA FB.
Dustin D have you watched LSU football for the last 4 yrs? ZM is the real deal he's 31/44 on the season with at least 7/8 drops in both games with 1 int. No one thus far has come close to stopping our running attack so we haven't been forced to throw the ball. Not saying he's the next Manning but he can make any and every throw needed and he will play on Sundays!!!
No I just started watching football yesterday.
You guys do realize that it's ok for other folks to have opinions and you don't have to agree with them right?
I said I wasn't impressed, not that he sucks and referring to accuracy more so. I'm pumped that we got a guy who can throw, big time! I'm just anxious to see some more consistent accuracy of well led balls thrown, not that he hasn't thrown any at all either.
I've watched the full game replays more than once already. I know what I saw. That's all. Jeez...
BTW He doesn't need to be ANY better than he already is for us to win a SHIP, still doesn't negate my point or opinion.
Michigan State's defense is going to make them a team to beat this year.

How bout them Dawgs!!!! Not the game I wanted to see against Mizzou but with 4 defensive starters out I thought we did O.K., and Jarvis Jones was the beast he needs to be. And Mettenberger is pretty good for a UGA washout!!! HAHA I know I opened a can of worms there but it should be fun!
How in the hell did we not start Mettenberger last season?
The kid looks capable of leading us to another NCAA title, not sure about Les Miles though.
Heck, even the Ragin Cajuns are 2 and zero!
Lastly, I was watching the Tulane vs Tulsa game when Walker broke his neck. Lets all hope that the kid recovers! He is a good kid and an honor student.

Three Hawaii resorts on Maui and the Big Island and two restaurants in Honolulu have earned AAA Five Diamond ratings for 2014, while 20 hotels and resorts and eight restaurants have been given with the organization's Four Diamond rating.
The Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua, the Four Seasons Resort Hualalai at Historic Kaupulehu and the Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea were among 124 hotels, and the only Hawaii properties, to earn a Five Diamond rating from AAA, while Chef Mavro and La Mer at the Halekulani were among 59 restaurants in the nation to receive the top rating.
AAA notes that Five Diamond establishments "stand apart using highly personalized approaches and creativity to enhance guest comfort and provide memorable experiences."
"At the ultra-luxury hotel level we've noted a move toward minimalism in design but not overall experience," Michael Petrone, director, AAA Tourism Information Development, said in a statement.
He noted "an emphasis on privacy and intimacy with options like in-room fitness, private butler service and spa-like bathrooms."
This year, AAA added six new hotels to the list and eight new restaurants; all of the Hawaii resorts and restaurants have received Five Diamond ratings before.
Here are the Hawaii hotels that received a Four Diamond rating, on Kauai:
- The St. Regis Princeville Resort
- The Westin Princeville Ocean Resort Villas

Apple Launches its Much Anticipated iPhone

Steve Jobs says Apple's changing the world again
MacWorld 2007 -- Apple today officially unveiled its iPhone which, as many had been hoping for, is quite a revolutionary product indeed. Steve Jobs heralded the iPhone as an industry-changing device that throws out old assumptions and conventions and brings in the new. With all of its features and design cues, the iPhone should prove to be an extremely hot device.
The largest feature on the plate for the iPhone is clearly its display. The iPhone packs a 3.5-inch display with a resolution density of 160 dpi, one of the sharpest screens in the industry. In fact, the screen takes up virtually the entire surface area of the iPhone. There's no keyboard or direction stick on the iPhone, just a big screen. The iPhone operates entirely on touch-screen technology and is something that Apple had been working on for a long time.
last reported that Apple had submitted
filings with the FCC for touch screen technology involving intuitive gestures
. Many assumed that the technology
would be used in a next-generation iPod
, but today it made its debut on the iPhone.
Users are able to navigate the iPhone by using a virtual keyboard that's smart enough to know when accidental tapping occurs. The screen also takes in gestures such as scrolling, pinching and stretching motions. The screen itself is also smart. The user interface automatically changes from portrait mode to landscape mode depending on how a user holds the phone. The virtual keyboard can be called up and tuckd away at any time.
Music is very much part of the iPhone and Apple does not disappoint. Integrated into the iPhone are all the usual iPod features that many users have come to love. Music and iTunes syncing, album artwork support, smart playlist features and, most importantly, movie playback. Steve Jobs demonstrated the iPhone playing back Pirates of the Caribbean 2 in full screen.
In terms of applications, the iPhone supports the usual set of smart-phone features: email, text messaging, web support, address books, photo, video and music playback. However, the iPhone uses smaller versions of applications already used on its Macs. Jobs demonstrated browsing the Internet on the iPhone using Safari -- full websites loaded very quickly and in full detail. Lest there be any doubt, the audience was definitely impressed by the iPhone's speed and rendering capabilities. Users can even pinch the screen to shrink webpages on the fly to fit the screen. Email capabilities are in full force too with support for such sophisticated features as full HTML email support and even IMAP supported through Yahoo! email.
The iPhone's operating system is based on a slim version of Apple's powerful OS X. One of the neatest features on the iPhone is the support for widgets -- the same tiny utility-type applications found on OS X's Dashboard. Jobs demonstrated navigating Google's virtual satellite mapping system and how easy it was to get around applications and widgets on the iPhone's touch-sensitive navigation system.

We hope you enjoy this lightened version of a rich and traditional classic.
Fat-free evaporated milk is commonly sold in cans with other canned milk products such as sweetened condensed milk.
Looking for an easy way to dress up this classic dish? Simply stir in cooked shrimp with the evaporated fat-free milk and serve with freshly shredded Parmesan cheese and lemon wedges.
Avoid those pasta boil-overs: After water comes to a boil and you add the pasta, cover the saucepan and turn off the heat. (Pasta should be thoroughly covered with water at this point.) Let stand about 15 minutes, stirring once or twice; drain.
To make this dish even faster, buy refrigerated fettuccine. Most kinds are ready in just a few minutes.

A creamy, cranberry filling peeks out from tender slices of French toast. The raspberry sauce provides even more color and fruity flavor.
Arrange the bread slices so they fit in a single layer in the pan. Once you pour the milk mixture over them, they'll be more flexible.
Quickly thaw raspberries by removing the lid of the package and microwaving on High 1 minute 30 seconds to 2 minutes, stirring once.
Enjoy with bacon and/or sausage links and fresh fruit.

By Ben Levisohn
For anyone who's ever watched cycling, there's little like the thrill of watching a rider breakaway from the peloton, only to be caught in the final minutes of the race. The market had something of that feel today. For most of the day, the major indexes were sitting in negative territory–and then the Fed minutes were released. Stocks fell but then bottomed and bounced, even reaching positive territory.
But it was all for naught. Treasury yields fell and stocks fell with them. The Dow Jones Industrials fell 105 points, or 0.7%, to 14,897, while the Standard & Poor's 500 dropped 0.6% to 1,636.70 and the Nasdaq Composite finished off 0.4% at 3,599.79.The losses weren't huge, but it had to be disheartening for investors who had worked so hard to push the market higher.
And it wasn't even as if the Fed said anything particularly noteworthy. Here's Capital Economics' Paul Ashworth with his takeaway:
While it's far from a certainty, the minutes from the FOMC meeting in late July appear to support our view that the Fed will begin to slow its monthly asset purchases at the next meeting in mid-September. Nevertheless, with the FOMC still split on when to start the taper we suspect that, as a compromise, officials could opt to start the taper next month, but begin with a smaller than expected initial reduction of $10bn…
Nevertheless, there's still a lot of uncertainty here. It was notable from the minutes that "a number of participants indicated… that they were somewhat less confident about a near-term pick-up in economic growth than they had been in June."
How's that for wishy-washy?
Visa (V) gained 3% to $178.39 after the Federal Reserve said it would appeal a ruling that struck down a swipe-fee cap.
Staples (SPLS) fell 15% to $14.27–its biggest drop since 2011–after it missed earnings and revenue forecasts. Barron's warns investors not to try and catch this falling stapler.
JC Penney (JCP) fell 4.9% to $13.33, even as Maxim Group and Buckingham had positive things to say about the beaten down retailer.
Newmont Mining (NEM) fell 3% to $31.84, its biggest drop since July 24, after protestors removed a gate on a road to its Minas Conga project in Peru.
Walt Disney's (DIS) television unit said it will fire 175 people. Disney's stock fell 1.2% to $61.14 today.

Several weeks ago I bought one of Lou McGee Standout Blinds. I used it and like it a lot. So, I recently bought two more. I have struggled with homemade stickmen using pvc, conduit frames and cheap paint disposal coveralls for years.
I like the McGee units because they have the double step in prongs and fold up nicely and don't take up much space in my truck. Plus they are quite large in exposed white area.

Focus on Funds
China Data Has Metals, Mining Funds Digging Fresh Hole
Last week it was copper. This week it's iron ore. In both cases, the weak trading traces to China.
It's tough going Monday for investors in mining-themed funds, which are down in the wake of yet more weak economic data in the world's most populous country. Asian stocks fell broadly Monday and iron-ore swaps in New York plummeted almost 7% after China's exports dropped 18% from a year earlier.
That's after news last week via HSBC that China's manufacturing activity fell to a seven-month low. Here's colleague Ben Levisohn on the read-through for Cliffs Natural Resources (CLF), among others.
Interactive Brokers' Andrew Wilkinson weighs in with a client email:
A decline of 20% from a recent peak is good enough to match the criteria for a bear market and the poor weekend trade report from China has given rise to growing concerns that the economy is grinding to a halt. Lower iron ore prices have the potential to translate badly for related company earnings. And as US stocks slip on Monday, option traders are populating several related companies.
SPDR S&P Metals and Mining ETF (XME) is down 2.2% on Monday, Market Vectors Coal ETF (KOL) is off by 2.1%, and Materials Select Sector ETF (XLB) is down 0.3%. Vanguard Materials Index ETF (VAW) is down 0.5%. Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX) is also moving lower alongside other mining companies, even though gold's price edged higher today.

I don't know if this should be in the customs section, so if it gets moved I won't be surprised.
Anakin Peasant - I really think this figure looks nice, just can't stand the attached saber. Cut off his hand and glued on one from the POTJ cloaked Obi-Wan. Now he can hold the gun or a saber or nothing in his hand.
Anakin Hangar Duel - A nice figure, I just don't like the scowl on his face. Swapped heads with the Peasant figure and I have a very nice, normal looking Anakin. NOTE: The plastic on his fancy fightin' arm is different than the rest of the figure and will slightly discolor if boiled.
Obi-Wan - too short and not cloaked. Don't really like the fabric cloaks. Took an E1 Cloaked Obi and swapped heads! He's bigger, and MUCH improved (quite proud of myself for that one).
Clonetroopers - painted a few, blue and yellow. The preview ones can be cut and re-positioned easily. There is definitely a GREEN trooper scene in the scrapbook, so I'll make a green one too.
Geonosian Warriors - after my quick fix, I am completely changing my mind about the figure. I couldn't get the damn things to stand at all. Even with Elmers they would bend over or fall completely depending on the way the wings were displayed. I drilled holes in thier feet (there is room to drill both and NOT break the top of the foot....just go slow), now they fit the action stands perfectly and can be posed in a bunch of ways. I at first said this figure sucked because it couldn't stand and only bought 2, now I will buy a bunch more and drill the holes! They look really good!
sounds very cool
you don't happen to have any pictures have you?
It is in the correct forum and I've just merged it into the appropriate Custom Figures thread. Those are very good custom ideas but where are the pics?Originally posted by INDIANA

I am completely computer illiterate and couldn't post a picture here if my life depended on it. Sorry guys.
If you are like me, you don't have the royal guard, which i am going to get soon, but you DO have a yoda from E2 and a few extra Royal Guards from ROTJ, aka POTF 2. Simply take the Guard and the "force action" blue thing and attach it to the electro-pole, and bam a temporary Royal Gaurd to comlete your collection until you stumble upon one in the strangest place!

I improved my Obi-Wan Coruscant by running an orange highlighter over his hair - now instead of being a blonde, he's more accurate.
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
Just a thought on the Geonosian Warriors... Instead of drilling holes in them, has anyone tried handi-tak stuff? I've got a tiny little bit under a single fit of my Security Droid and I have to literally yank it off so I move it. I do it carefully of course... :happy:

The city's and villages are decorated with lights, stars, pine trees and fake snow. It is (almost) Christmas. At Christmas we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ generally it is celebrated on the 25th of December. But now a days it's also very normal to eat large meals with family or have gifts.
America and Britain
The most famous way to celebrate Christmas is the English or American way. In their homes they have a big Christmas three that is decorated and sometimes people hang lights on their homes. The Americans and Britain celebrate Christmas with the family and some people go to church on Christmas Eve. They often celebrate Christmas Eve also with a special Christmas dinner "turkey and Christmas pudding", a Christmas pudding is a pudding in large part from raisins is further plays Santa a big role.
Someone who plays a big role in celebrating Christmas in English and American country's is Santa Claus. He bring gifts to the homes of the good children during the late evening and overnight hours on December 24: Christmas Eve. Santa was founded from the Dutch figure of Sinterklaas, which may have part of its personality in tales about the historical figure of gift giver Saint Nicholas.
Dutch Sinterklaas
In Holland Christmas isn't celebrated that big. On the 5th of December the Dutch people celebrate Sinterklaas, the figure who is the founder of Santa. On the night of December people are together with family, drink hot chocolate milk and sing special Sinterklaas songs. Then with a lot of pounding on the door Sinterklaas and het Zwarte Pieten (Black Pete's) are coming. Sometimes they just leave presents in a big bag in front of the door or in the house, but they can come and visit you. The ask you if you are nice and they will check it in the big book of Sinterklaas.
Christmas in Holland is eating with the family or going to church. But a lot of family's have a Christmas three in their homes and it becomes more usual to also have gifts. The Dutch celebrate two days of Christmas, witch are also free days for the hole country, on the 24th and 25th of December.
Basque Olentzero
In the Basque Country they don't have Santa but Olentzero. According to Basque traditions Olentzero comes to town late at night on the 24th of December to drop off presents for children.
One story's about Olentzero is being one of the jentillak, a mythological race of Basque giants living in the Pyrenees. Legend has it that they observed a glowing cloud in the sky one day. None of them could look at this bright cloud except for a very old, nearly blind man. When asked to examine it, he confirmed their fears and told them that it was a sign that Jesus will be born soon. According to some stories, the old man asked the giants to throw him off a cliff to avoid having to live through Christianisation. Having obliged him, the giants tripped on the way down and died themselves except Olentzero.
Olentzero doesn't look like Sinterklaas or Santa Clause (who both have red clothes, a white beard, red hat and helpers). Olentzero weirs a txapela ( a typical Basque hat), has a scarf, a black shirt and blue pants and he doesn't have helpers.
But there is one thing that Sinterklaas, Santa Claus and Olentzero all have in common: they are old men with white beards who give good children presents.
Funny facts
The colors red and green are used a lot at Christmas but have a relation with Jesus Christ. Red symbolizes the blood of Jesus, which was shed in his crucifixion, while green symbolizes eternal life, and in particular the evergreen tree, which does not lose its leaves in the winter.
Jews don't celebrate Christmas but have Hanukkah. It is also known as the Festival of Lights, is an eight-day Jewish holiday commemorating the rededication of the Holy Temple (the Second Temple) in Jerusalem at the time of the Maccabean Revolt of the 2nd century BCE. Hanukkah is observed for eight nights and days, starting on the 25th day of Kislev according to the Hebrew calendar, which may occur at any time from late November to late December in the Gregorian calendar.
In Mexico, Christmas begins on December 16th. Until December 24 there are the "posadas". These are processions of children and adults, with statues of Mary and Joseph are carried. It is acted out how Mary and Joseph were looking for a place to stay. On the last day carried the baby Jesus, at the end of the evening is laid in a manger.
In Italy, the Christmas witch "La Befana" presents around on Epiphany. She is looking for Jesus Christ and brings good children candy, naughty children get coal or dark candy.

An Interchangeable Needle Kit is set with a range of needle sizes and cable lengths. A pair of needle tips is attached to either end of a cable, to create the most versatile type of needle there is: a circular knitting needle. You can use the needle for circular knitting, regular flat knitting, and even for small-diameter circular knitting.Kits are a money saver from buying individual needle sizes. Most full kits come with between 7 and 10 needle tip sizes, and various cord lengths which can be combined to make virtually any size circular needle. But above all, a kit is a convenient and portable way to always have the needle size you need on hand!
All prices are in USD.

Juaken Pheonix (Signs)
Vin Desil (XXX)
Ving Rames (Undisputed)
Paul Newman (The Road to P)
Kirstin Dunst (Spiderman)
This is by no means an all inclusive list, but I think it clearly backs up my claim. We may very well be living in the greatest movie year ever. Perhaps there isn't som Earth shattering movie like Gone with the Wind, Jaws, or Star Wars ANH. However those years didn't offer much else. This year we have all the blockbusters to compete with any other year not to mention a long list of other really great movies. Clearly many have been left off, but I think I highlighted the vast majority of them.
So, what do you guys think? Any great movies I left off? Any bad movies I put on (I know The Scorpion Kings wasn't good, but it did kick off the Summer Blockbuster streak so I thought I had to add it ).
Of course next years movies are already lineing up well
Matrix 2 and 3
The Hulk
LOTR: Return of the King
So who knows what will happen?

text: Our society is sick and septic. these mass shootings are simply the visible pox on the surface. We've become a faithless self absorbed society which keeps producing these ahole 20 year olds who believe they have the right to kill because life didn't unfold the way they thought. I don't know what the answer is.

http://blogs.sun-sentinel.com/sports...backfield.htmlWill Ronnie Brown's hold firm, finally putting together a breakout season (a full season) where he establishes himself as one of the NFL's elite workhorse backs?
Will Chad Pennington's throw crisp and accurate spirals, proving he's getting better with age by following up his most impressive season with another strong performance. One that might earn him an extended stay in South Florida?
Will Ricky Williams' remain broad as he attempts to play a second-straight NFL season without any hiccups (or puff)? And at 32 does the former Heisman Trophy winner still have the talent to be a dangerous back?
Can rookie quarterback Pat White's shoulders carry some of the weight of the Wildcat offense, as he'll be called on to add a sexy passing element to the gimmicky scheme that keeps opposing defenses guessing, and the chains moving?

Haven't heard of Gods Behaving Badly? It's okay; we hadn't either, until recently. The upcoming film, based on the novel of the same name, follows the ancient Greek gods, who, it turns out, are not only alive and well but managing a brownstone in New York. Last week, casting was announced, and believe you me, it looks like it's going to be hilarious. Oliver Platt as Apollo? Win! Edie Falco as Artemis? Sold! John Turturro as Hades? On par with James Woods! Christopher Walken as Zeus? PERFECT. We've walked you through the actors who have played the Devil before; so now, in honor of Gods Behaving Badly, we bring 14 actors who have all played gods, ranging from Greek to Norse to Christian to fantasy deities. Time to get smiting!
