A mat in the traditional style is made for fishing usually from twined pandanus, and takes the form of a long rectangle of several metres long. This one is twined from sand palm (Livistona humilis) and bush string. Such mats are sometimes known as fish fences because they are used to enclose an area in the water, trapping fish inside their boundaries. Traditionally artists made this fence from plain pandanus (Pandanus spiralis). Today such fences are made the same way, but dyed pandanus is used to make patterns similar to the type seen on twined baskets.

|Getting Started The only dumb question is the one not asked
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|The thumb grip is a much better way to start out as juro said. I've been fly fishing for 17 years and only this year did I start to use the index finger grip occassionally. The only reason is when I'm bass fishing for hours and my hand gets tired of casting the heavy flies, so I switch up my grip for a while.
|Thanks for the info. When I got home today, I went out to the back yard to try some casting practice, and I think I finally realized how little power is really needed for a simple short cast (around 30 feet of fly line). I remember reading that if you can hear a swooshing sound from your rod, you're using too much power. I worked on using as little power as necessary, and when I got it right, my backcast seemed to make itself with a nice tight loop! I was probably only using 1/3 to 1/2 as much power as I had been using. Also, my casting stroke was much shorter, and the application of power slower. Doing this, the thumb on top grip seems comfortable as well since I'm not trying to overpower the cast.
Hi Bob -
Good question.
I presume what you are experiencing is that the pressure applied with palm-pad at the base of the index finger feels less precarious than the pressure appplied with the thumb up away from the hand. However I would not recommend starting your learning curve with a finger on top (FOT) grip unless you are absolutely sure you will be fishing short casts with easy effort, and typically lighter weights.
My recommendation, FWIW, is to stick with a 'relaxed' thumbs up grip for at least your initial learning curve. For me, when the TU grip is not comfortable it meant I was not doing something right. Now it's perfectly comfortable.
When learning the objective is to hold and move the rod so that it can flex and recoil in the proper cadence, not much power and a lot of timing involved. Keep the wrist movement to a minimum; it should only bend 45 degrees from start to finish in either direction. Likewise your thumb should only swivel from a parallel to your arm to a 45 degree angle up thru the entire cast - the rest of the stroke comes from the elbow and arm.
The thumb provides a useful guidance device - like the sights of a gun, watching your thumbnail provides a good indication of the tracking and rotation of the rod. I provides a solid brace during the stroke, and is a great technique your casting career should not be without.
Just imagine yourself hammering nails with a FOT grip instead of a TU grip...
Common practices:
Most casters use the thumbs up grip, others a "V" grip, then a smaller percentage use the finger on top grip. There are a lot of in-betweens as well. An easy way to describe the V without pics is that the hand is rotated about the wrist from the thumbs up toward the finger up grip to allow the rod to nestle diagonally across the hand and relieve the thumb a bit.
I believe this adjustment can only provide benefits once the alignment and stroke power of the TU grip has been deeply embedded in the casters technique, so again everything begins with TU.
Newby casting hand grip question
Hello, I'm new to the forum and new to fly fishing. Most of the info I've seen on the grip recommends the thumb on top grip. There were a few references to the index finger on top grip, and I find that grip more natural for me. It has more of a feeling that the rod is an extension of my arm than the thumb on top grip. Is there any strong reason not to use the index finger on top grip, or any way that it will limit my future casting ability?

PETER GAMMONS The premise that we sort of started this discussion on is how different it is, small market versus big market. Sean, you've played here, you've played in Cincinnati, you've played in Cleveland, Detroit, Pittsburgh. How different was it for you, to be in a big market, particularly here in 2008?
SEAN CASEY Expectations are just different. [In Cincinnati,] expectations were, if our pitching staff has career years, and if we all stay healthy and no one can go on the DL — because when you're in a smaller-market club, your bench isn't as deep, your bullpen's not as deep — it's just a lot of things have to happen, perfectly, for you to be where you need to be. But, when you play here in Boston, you know, going into day one, the club's set and your rotation's legit, lineup's legit, your bench is legit, and your closer's good, and I think that was the biggest thing as a player, knowing, hey, listen — things are set out for us to succeed.
GAMMONS Bobby, you helped build that Texas franchise, you managed in New York and now you're here. When you hear, "Okay, we're gonna get this player, that player," do you think at all about, "Okay, is he gonna be able to take this town?"
BOBBY VALENTINE Oh, absolutely. I think it's paramount in decision making — whether or not a guy can live in the fishbowl.
GAMMONS Now I ask this because Theo and Ben worked together for so long: when you were making trades, how much did you think about that and how many different times did you guys say in about May of the next year, "Oh my God, what do we do?"
THEO EPSTEIN Yeah, there's no doubt it's a very significant part of the narrative and probably the most complex question we have to answer. You have to be a little presumptuous, because it really strikes at the very core of the individual: who he is as a person, what motivates him, how does he relate to baseball, why is he playing this game, is he someone who feels failure or is he motivated by winning, is he somebody who is in it for himself or is he in it for the team? Is he in it for the money and the things that surround the game, or is he in it because of a pure, deep competitiveness that's probably been in him since he was five years old?

Contact Pacific Southwest Waste Program
Pacific Southwest, Region 9
Serving: Arizona, California, Hawaii, Nevada, Pacific Islands, Tribal Nations
Straw Bale Classroom
Straw bale buildings have come a long way since the Three Little Pigs and the Big, Bad Wolf. Students from Moapa Valley High School are green building pioneers and are proving that no wolf will be able to blow down their new straw bale classroom.
The Conservation District of Southern Nevada using a $30,000 Resource Conservation Grant from EPA, designed and built a straw bale classroom. The project was funded to demonstrate green building and stimulate student interest in energy efficient and sustainable structures. The classroom will be used to host a variety of resource conservation workshops for the local and urban communities of Southern Nevada.
The built environment has a vast impact on the natural environment, human health, and the economy. In the United States, buildings account for 39 percent of total energy use, 12 percent of the total water consumption, 68 percent of total electricity consumption and 38 percent of the carbon dioxide emissions. By adopting green building strategies, such as the construction of straw bale buildings, we can maximize both economic and environmental performance.
Structures made out of straw bales have environmental, economic and advantages:
- The thick, straw walls are energy efficient and keep buildings cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
- Straw is a renewable resource and is grown and harvested faster than lumber. It can also be grown locally to cut down on the energy and cost involved in transportation of building materials.
- Straw bales are inexpensive and therefore save on building costs.
- Plaster-coated straw bales are as flame-resistant as conventional homes.
Since 2004, the students at Moapa Valley High, the Conservation District of Southern Nevada, the high school Future Farmers of America (FFA) chapter, and faculty advisors have been working on this project. They procured the straw, designed the classroom, built the classroom, and even planted a native plant demonstration garden in front of the site. Although the students originally planned to grow the straw on site, a generous local donor provided the straw for the building. Signs were also installed throughout the site that explain the significance of the structure and how it helps preserve the environment.
Moapa Valley High School is a school in Clark County with a deep agriculture tradition. In fact, Moapa High is the only high school in Nevada to have a school-owned farm. This includes a full-time farm manager who oversees the 40 acre, fully functioning farm that raises cattle and crops. The produce is sold to local grocery stores and they hope to soon expand into farmers markets. The FFA students are heavily involved in this farm which prepared them for the hard work required to fulfill the task of building the straw bale classroom.
"The Moapa Valley Farm is not only about agriculture and education, it's also about community" states Jennifer Szwejbka of the Conservation District of Southern Nevada. "Building the straw bale structure brings a community together to learn about and build a sustainable structure, and it provides a location for the community to come together. The Moapa community feels passionate about the school farm because of its historical value, educational value, and the potential it has to bring their community together time and time again."
The hard work of the students, along with many community members, paid off with a beautiful, environmentally friendly structure that was unveiled at a May 27, 2008 grand opening event. In addition to EPA Region 9 funding, the project was also supported by the Clark County Department of Air Quality and many local donors.

On my way home from work I got to thinking. Is there a way to make a mold of an actual turkey head? The first problem I thought of is the head has to be completely dry. I was thinking of using silicon pellets to dry it out. These pellets are the same type that are used to dry out flowers. Second problem I thought of is what will happen to the skin? Will it peel off or just become nasty? I thought of putting modge podge on the head before drying it to help hold everything together.
Has anybody ever done this? If so or not, does anybody have any helpful suggestions on doing this.

The Flyway in more than enough collar to train your retriever .
"i guess the old saying 'those of us that think we know everything annoy those of you that does' " --bobbyb 9/13/06
"A Good Dog is a Good Dog"
I have had Pro 100, 200, and 500, but use my Flyway 90% of the time. I do not use the constant button much and if I do I don't need 18 different levels of it so the Flyway fits my needs.
Mike Peters
I prefer the pro 500 because of the 18 levels of continuos...it's nice to have the 18 when force training. I have had friends and club members use mine instead of their flyways when doing force drills.
As a pheasant hunter I hate the toggle switch on the TT's. I had the old style pro 200 (single) for about 15 years, it was very good.
At the suggestion of Warner Smith at Garmin/Tri-Tronics, I now also have a classic 70. The classic 70 I use as a mile long leash that won't wrap around trees for pack dog walks numbering greater than 3 dogs. It has been absolutely perfect for instantaneous selection of the specific dog that I want to reach. The other 2 were fine when I was handling only 3 dogs. But with more than 3, the 70 has proven to be a great tool.
There is no one perfect choice for all trainers, all situations, and all dogs.
Some trainers prefer to reside in the continuous mode. For them, they may prefer the instantaneous ability to go high, med or low. For them, they flyway may not be best.
One problem that I see is that trainers can evolve or have their needs change. An example is myself, now seeking to handle 4 dogs simultaneously.
I view my transmitter selection a bit like any other tool. I can switch and adapt to match the tool with the job.
If I were seeking a one size fits all choice, I would choose to pay the extra and go with the g3 pro 500
My favorite is the Tritronics Pro 500. I have had mine for 5 years and never had a problem with it. Unfortunately, I recently lost the transmitter in the fields of South Dakota. Mine was the G2 model. I plan to replace it with a Pro 500 G3. In addition to the reliability and versatility, I like that it is made in the USA and I will always buy American when I can, particlarly when it is a superior product.
Thanks for all the responses. The issue I am having with my current collar with a full charged - I will have times with no stimulation, the too much and times the proper amount. Tested on myself, couldn't talk my son in to helping out as test dummy! I got the SportDog on a recommendation of a friend but have since read that others have had similar issues and they tend to continue to occur. I have sent mine back and customer service has been very friendly. Leaning towards a TT in the future. My training buddies have a mixed bag and they concur with what has been said here. Thanks again and Merry Christmas.
I would like to hear from those who have used the Tritronics G3 sport versions. I currently use a Pro 500 for training but in a hunting environment, the transmitter can be a bit of a pain. A transmitter that can be attached to a lanyard seems much more accessible. I'd be willing to give up a half mile of range for convenience, especially while hunting ducks where retrieves are generally 100 yards or less.
Bottom line, are you looking for a training collar or hunting collar?

This would be great, but we are way too content on waiting for Jake Long to make up his damn mind. You know Long is going to eat up the rest of our cap space if we sign him. The option is either Long, Winston, Dumervil, or signing 2 more cheap FA's to fill up some holes. I don't think we are aggressive enough to just neglect our O-line problems heading into the draft.
Why does everyone think he will be that pricey? Hasn't anyone looked at the deals be given out?
Just a quick thought. I think adding Dumervil would be huge for the pass rusher. He's not great against the run, but we could still have Odrick play some DE on 1st and some 2nd downs. Or Vernon as well. Anyways, one of the key ways to beating good teams is having a consistent and strong pass rush. Wake and Dumervil would go a long ways towards that...then could you imagine if Jarvis Jones were to fall to 12? Ill stop salivating now...

CRTC watchers eat crow. Don't you hate it when the world changes faster than you can write about it? Thursday's triumph over Bell is wonderful for consumers; for the thesis I was developing here, not so much. The comments I've read all indicate the Astral decision shows Chairman Blais really does intend to build a consumer-oriented CRTC. I trust he will understand why industry watchers, present company included, had been pretty much unanimous in predicting he'd never, ever turn down Bell on this acquisition.
On Thursday this week, the CRTC killed the Bell Astral deal. The decision was entirely unexpected by anyone, including me, although all along I have argued that Bell's bid to acquire Astral Media, the eighth largest media company in Canada, gave the CRTC ample ground to do exactly what it did. I also argued that it was the right thing to do, and that the CRTC should stop Bell's take-over bid for Astral "dead in its tracks."
On Thursday, the CRTC rejected Bell's proposed acquisition of Astral. The quick, unanimous decision -- the hearings wrapped up just over a month ago -- leaves no doubt about CRTC chair Jean Pierre Blais' top priority. Simply put, the public (whether as the public interest or as consumers) comes first. In four months, Blais has transformed the CRTC into a pro-consumer advocate, creating the kind of regulatory agency that until recently was scarcely imaginable. The change is long overdue and credit must go to the new chair and to the government, which has presumably provided the mandate for real change in Canadian telecom and broadcast regulation.

Exploding Robots May Scout Hazardous Asteroids 120
An anonymous reader writes to mention NewScientist is reporting that a small force of robots designed to explode could help reveal an asteroid's inner structure. This could in turn allow scientists a better understanding of how to divert a rogue asteroid on a collision course with Earth. From the article: "The main spacecraft would stay a few dozen kilometers away, perhaps nudging the probes towards the asteroid using springs. Once on the surface, the protective spherical shell of each probe would open to allow the probe to scan the surface nearby. To reduce complexity and costs, the probes lack solar panels and run on battery power, limiting their lifetime to a few days. But each probe could still cover a lot of ground in that time, as they could be fitted with small thrusters to let them hop across the surface. Eventually the probes could detonate onboard explosives, sacrificing themselves for science one by one. Probes that had not yet detonated would listen for any seismic waves sent rippling out from the explosion, and the main spacecraft could observe the craters left behind. That would tell scientists about the asteroid's strength and internal structure."

If Diplomatic Options Fail to Bear Fruit
Thanks to all the members of the group for your active participation. I'd like to extend our discussion, but I encourage you to continue to respond to Jim Walsh and Henry Sokolski's recent posts below.
I think we've done a good job of kicking around the diplomatic options to significantly delay or limit Iran's further development of an enrichment capacity. Clearly, we can't know beforehand whether a new diplomatic initiative will succeed (I tend to be on the skeptical side), but we need to give it our best shot because the alternatives are clearly inferior. At the same time, it's worth thinking about our options in the event that the diplomatic options we've discussed fail to bear fruit.
If the carrot and stick approach is unable to constrain Iran's enrichment program in a meaningful way, is it possible to prevent Iran from crossing the nuclear threshold – from actually producing HEU and making nuclear weapons once it has completed an enrichment facility capable of producing significant quantities of HEU in a short period? What diplomatic and military policies could be applied to deter Iran from taking the risk of either nuclear break out or nuclear sneak out? In other words, is it plausible that Iran could be convinced to live with a latent nuclear weapons capacity or is it inevitable that Iran will not rest until it has a nuclear arsenal?

Finally, Leland Chee has posted on the Star Wars Blog about the chronology of The Clone Wars after all the time-hopping stories in the first three seasons. It looks like the syndicated episodes will actually be airing in chronological order as opposed to their original air order, and he'll be updating as the episodes air, and covers four episodes and the movie in this post. It was clear that "Cat and Mouse" and "The Hidden Enemy" would go before the theatrical film, but I'm glad to finally get the other, harder-to-place episodes in order. The only time-jumping episode from Season Four seemed to be "Shadow Warrior," which aired after the Mon Calamari arc but took place prior to it, so I'm assuming that most of the other episodes after the main characters got their redesign halfway through Season Three should already be in order.
As to how it relates to the existing EU, he says this:
He doesn't get into it any more than that, but it's good to know that they're at least dealing with this.Quote:
All of these episodes take place early on during the Clone Wars, mere months following the Battle of Geonosis seen in Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones. Many of the dates and events on previously existing EU Clone Wars timelines have been condensed into this period before the events of "Cat and Mouse."

The HC Interview: Haiti
16 March, 2012
Haiti is struggling to strengthen its institutions and rebuild itself more than two years after the devastating earthquake of 2010. There has been significant progress—around 1 million people have left the camps; 5 million cubic metres of rubble have been cleared and the number of children with access to primary education is increasing. Cholera-related mortality rates have declined steadily since the outbreak began in October 2010.
Despite this progress, humanitarian needs are still enormous, according to the Humanitarian Coordinator in Haiti, Nigel Fisher. More cholera infections are expected this year, and the country is vulnerable to major disasters including hurricanes and flooding. But funding is declining; so far, just 4 per cent of this year's funding requirement has been met.
Mr. Fisher has been the Humanitarian Coordinator in Haiti since April 2010. He talks about the urgent need for funding to continue providing the most vulnerable people with food, shelter, medical treatment, water and sanitation.
What are some of the most pressing humanitarian needs in Haiti today?
We all know that the humanitarian problems that Haiti is facing today have long-term roots. For instance, we all agree that the long-term solutions to the cholera epidemic are improved water supply and sanitation, and strengthened local health systems.
Last year, the infection rates in the camps were much lower than the national average, primarily because we had a strong humanitarian response providing chlorinated water and ensuring that people had access to latrines. Now, many humanitarian partners are pulling out because of the lack of funding, and many donors are mostly interested in funding longer-term development projects over humanitarian ones.
And the humanitarian needs are still there. The conditions in many camps today are much worse than they were last year because the tents are falling apart and clean water is less available. Another big concern is that we are running out of partners who can clean out and maintain latrines. We are worried that people in need might become more vulnerable this year.
What has been achieved in these two years?
In June and July 2010, there were over 1.5 million displaced people in 1,300 camps. Right now, we are down to about 490,000 people in 600 camps, so you can see the numbers have really gone down.
Rubble removal has also been very impressive. More than half the rubble has been removed at a much faster rate than in Aceh, Indonesia, after the tsunami and in lower Manhattan after 9/11.
Also, there has not been a major epidemic as a result of the earthquake or a major food crisis. This goes to show that people were provided with food, medical care, clean water and sanitation.
Over three quarters or almost 80 per cent of primary-school-age children in camps now have access to education compared with, at most, 55 per cent in the entire country.
There has been progress on disaster risk reduction as well. The Haitian Department of Civil Protection has really come a very long way and is now the leader on disaster risk reduction and preparedness for the hurricane season. They are also working with the UN Development Programme on earthquake-mitigation projects.
What is your message to donors?
One big issue with Haiti is that it suffers from cyclical disasters because of the climate. We will never be in a situation where we can say Haiti has passed the humanitarian crisis and is now in full development mode. We have to be able to deal with the short-term crises and long-term development together. This might be a challenge for us and also for donors who make a distinction between humanitarian and development funding. We need funding for both.
We also need to support the strengthening of the Haitian institutions, whether they are Government, private sector or NGO, so that they can eventually take the lead on the humanitarian response. For many years, I think it is generally believed that the international community has side-stepped the Government because it was thought to be weak. We need to help the Government strengthen its capacity.
What is your message to the humanitarian community?
One thing I carry around with me like a mantra is something a Haitian man said to me in February 2010. He was upset with organizations that did not consult local authorities and communities. "We are not beggars. We do not want a handout from you, but we will not mind a hand up," he said.
To me, that symbolizes what we should be doing. We should not be displacing the Haitian capacity; we should not just be handing out support charitably, but we should be working with the Haitians. They are a proud and independent people, and they want to run their own country. I think we should be supporting them in that.

WOW, fantastic quilt. Your work is amazing.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
WOW, fantastic quilt. Your work is amazing.
Dance like no one is watching
You did an awesome job. DH would love a quilt like that. Wonderful job!!!!
I love the doe, good job.
Why buy a kit when you make such beautiful art of your own? It is a lot more fun to collect what you need, plain it out and make it your own. You do such beautiful work.
VERY nicely done!
That is just stunning....Love it....
Wow, just Wow! Love it. Thanks for sharing, your doe is amazing.
Thank you for sharing your gorgeous quilt - the deer looks so life-like.
She looks like she is checking out the area for danger. Beautiful job

A cluster is defined as being more than the expected number of cases of a birth defect in a population group for a defined geographic area and for a specific period. There are scientific and public health reasons for investigating suspected clusters. First, cluster investigations can generate new clues about causes of birth defects. Because most birth defects cannot be explained, generating ideas about possible causes is essential. Also, cluster investigations can allay community concerns. When an investigation shows no increased risk, the public is reassured. Other times, the investigation may not find a cause, but it may rule out environmental concerns, such as tainted wells, factory emissions and hazardous waste sites.
One goal of CBDMP is to respond efficiently and effectively to reported birth defect health outcomes.Concerned parents, news reporters and public officials understand their environments better than anyone else. Community members have helped in cluster investigations by soliciting the cooperation of other parents, researching exposures and providing historical knowledge about relevant local events.A health professional may be the first to notice a possible cluster due to interactions with patients.When profiling local health data or monitoring environmental conditions, the health department may look at birth defects as one indicator of public health. Everyone can play an instrumental role in linking birth defects with causal exposures.
For more information about clusters or to report a cluster, please contact CBDMP.

I was sorting through a box of unfiled genealogy papers the other day. I was amazed at the number of census printouts I'd made since the advent of online census searching, and there are plenty more on my computer that I may never print. It's no wonder I don't know what I have anymore. Twenty years ago when I started doing genealogy, I kept a little census chart. I soon outgrew it though, and chaos quietly slipped in to take its place.
But among the census sheets, I found a printout of something else I'd forgotten, a great little Excel spreadsheet called Census Tracker, which I'd filled out with the four U.S. census records of my great-great grandfather. My excitement was quelled, however, when I remembered I don't have Excel on my new computer.
Google keeps dreaming up great new tools. When I found out their free online application Google Docs and Spreadsheets (Beta) is compatible with Word and Excel, I was eager to give it a try. I was able to upload the Census Tracker spreadsheet and work on it online, without having any spreadsheet software on my own computer.
Using this program requires a high-speed internet connection. Even with high-speed, it's still considerably slower than working with Excel on your own computer. But the Google application has some neat advantages:
- You can invite your partners-in-genealogy to collaborate on a spreadsheet with you. The only prerequisite is that each collaborator must have a Google account. You needn't work simultaneously, but if you do, there's a chat box in the same window so you can discuss changes. Those changes appear to all collaborators as they are made.
- Documents and spreadsheets are stored online, so you can access them on any computer by logging into your Google account. You can also download them to your home computer, work on them in Excel, and upload them again.
- It's easy to publish your spreadsheet to the internet. Google provides the space and tells you the URL. You can then share the link by email or use it in a blog. It's also easy to generate the HTML code to view the spreadsheet in a window within your blog post. Examples of both appear below. I wish the window were larger.
- Each individual you want to track gets his or her own page in the spreadsheet. I can choose to display just one particular page or all the pages. I do wish there was middle ground here, as I would like to display more than one page, but not all.
- When you make changes to the spreadsheet, the blog view can be easily updated from within Google Docs and Spreadsheets. No need to edit the blog.
- You can also easily generate a PDF file to share.
Click here for a full-page view of Joseph Meyer Schulte in the U.S. census. When I add pages for other individuals in this family, you will see one family member at a time in the full-page view, with links to the others at the top of that page. In the scroll window, you will select a tab at the bottom of the window to see the page you want.
Click here for a PDF file of Joseph Meyer Schulte and Related Lines in the U.S. census. The PDF file can be saved to your computer. Printouts from this file are attractive and do not have the headers and footers typical of internet printouts. However, I haven't found a way to insert page-breaks where they would be most logical. As a result, page-breaks may interfere with proper presentation of the data.
After publishing a post with the spreadsheet window in it, I found I was unable to edit the post.* Despite that and my other complaints, however, I think Google Docs and Spreadsheets is an exciting innovation, and "free" is a very good price. I trust Google to work out the kinks.
Census Tracker has a variety of spreadsheet templates, also free. Others include some state and international census trackers, a research log and spreadsheets to aggregate cemetery and ship manifest data.
*The edit workaround is to select the entire text of the blog post from the published view of your blog, including the spreadsheet window, and copy it (Ctrl + C). Then create a new post, paste (Ctrl + V) into the Compose Mode window, and make your corrections in the new post. Add the title and labels, and publish it. Then delete the original post. Unfortunately, any comments on the original post will be lost.
May 1 Update: I was able to edit this post today in the normal way. However, republishing the spreadsheet in Google Docs and Spreadsheets to enable viewing of all pages, not just the Joseph Meyer Schulte page, did not alter the scrollable display in this post. To do that, I had to generate new HTML code to copy and paste into this post. All sheets are now viewable in the window above. Later, when I attempted another edit, I had problems again, which seem to be related to the spreadsheet widget and Compose mode. Publishing from the Edit Html mode rather than Compose mode seems to get around the problem.

Due to a recent discussion on the Forum, I wanted to fact check some stuff ... and wanted to look at the various sites to do that in a fair and accurate way.
I stumbled across this article on the biased ways of fact checking that were used during the 2012 Elections. Is it any wonder that any of us could be "low-information voter" ... depending on whose fact-checking we use?
I suppose that Forbes might be considered right-wing, but they use specific examples to show the "tactics" of fact-checking.

Schmidt to speak on cosmic acceleration -- one decade later
Thursday, Feb. 28, 2008, 4:45 p.m. · A02 McDonnell Hall
Posted February 24, 2008; 06:30 p.m.
Brian Schmidt, a leader of one of the teams that discovered the accelerating universe 10 years ago, will speak at 4:45 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 28, in A02 McDonnell Hall.
An astronomer at the Mount Stromlo Observatory of the Australian National University, Schmidt will discuss "Measuring Cosmic Acceleration."
In 1998, two teams of scientists uncovered direct evidence that the expansion of the universe was speeding up. Experts had been saying for years that virtually all of the universe's detritus -- everything from stars and planets on down to chunks of rock and dust and all the so-called dark matter that makes up most of the mass of galaxies -- was putting a drag on things as a result of the gravitational attraction that draws them together. The expansion of the universe was supposed to be decelerating.
Beyond shocking many scientists, the discovery has presented a challenge to understanding the fundamental laws of physics. The prevalent idea is that the universe today consists mostly of an invisible, gravitationally repulsive form of energy known as "dark energy." Among other questions, scientists are interested in whether its properties can be measured even though it does not absorb or emit light.
Schmidt, who earned the Shaw Prize and the Peter Gruber Prize in Cosmology for his role in the discovery, will provide an update on the scientific quest that has ensued over the past decade and predict what the next decade is likely to yield in terms of understanding dark energy and its impact on the future of the universe.
"Many of us think that explaining the acceleration is the greatest puzzle in science today," said Paul Steinhardt, the Albert Einstein Professor in Science at Princeton, who is hosting the lecture.
The event, designated as the Raymond and Beverly Sackler Lecture in Astrophysics, is being organized by the Department of Physics.

Illustration was also a regular feature of Irish periodicals and Irish illustration is highly regarded. Well–known figures include William Henry Brooke, John Doyle (H.B.) and John Fergus O'Hea. A small number of notable Irish artists also practiced (some in secret) this form of popular art. The subject matter of their work is varied and ranges from scenes of social conflict in rural Ireland to political and satirical cartoons. In practicing this form of popular art, these artists engaged with a diverse audience while, at the same time, contributing to the development of the genre.

Updated on 7 February 2013
The report looks at the treatment of Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria, Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura, Myelodysplastic Syndrome, Myelofibrosis and Polycythemia Vera, acquired orphan blood diseases that result in a sufferer's body not producing blood correctly
Singapore: Physicians treating rare blood disorders now have more drug treatments to choose from to treat patients. This in turn allows patients to avoid demanding surgeries and chemotherapy, while filling the pockets of pharmaceutical companies who can charge big money for the treatments in these untapped markets, states a new report by healthcare experts GBI Research.
The new report looks at the treatment of Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria (PNH), Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP), Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS), Myelofibrosis (MF) and Polycythemia Vera (PV), acquired orphan blood diseases that result in a sufferer's body not producing blood correctly. These diseases have serious risks, and treatments are often limited to symptom management, and improvement of quality of life, with risky surgical procedures offering the only alternative. This bleak outlook makes the orphan disease market a great opportunity for drug discovery and development, as patient populations are small but untapped.
Soliris (eculizumab) is a perfect example of a successful orphan blood disease drug. PNH is a potentially life-threatening blood disease, characterised by severe anemia caused by the destruction of red blood cells in the bloodstream. Bone marrow transplants can provide a cure, but the high risk procedure is suitable for only a few patients. Treatment methods include blood transfusions, iron therapy, and growth factors, but monoclonal antibody Soliris dominates the PNH treatment market, and holds the title of the most expensive drug in the world. The drug reduces the activity of the immune system, reducing hemolysis and risk of thrombosis associated with PNH market. Due to the market dominance of Soliris, the PNH pipeline is very weak, so Alexion Pharmaceuticals look set to continue to benefit from this high pricing.
The PNH treatment market in the US, the top five EU countries (the UK, France, Germany, Italy and Spain), and Japan is expected to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 4 percent over the 2011-2019 period to US$1,164m by 2019.
MF is another acquired orphan blood disease, and success in the drug pipeline has rewarded Incyte Corporation handsomely. MF is a myeloproliferative disease which sees patient's bone marrow get replaced by collagen fibrosis, impairing the individual's ability to produce new blood cells. Stem cell transplantation is the only curative treatment available for MF sufferers, but this procedure is highly risky, requires a young patient and suitable donor, and often only leads to remission rather than a cure. Treatments to alleviate disease symptoms include blood transfusions, androgen therapy, surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy, but these gruelling therapies have debilitating side effects.

Urgent help please from Europe!!
Hi everyone,
I´m a fly fishing fanatic from Spain, who just started fly fishing last year. From that time until now, I had been using a friend of mine equipment. Last week I had decided to get my own rod, so I went to a sage deller. I was adviced by this same friend to get a sage fli, 9 feet, line 6, 4 pieces. When I got to the shop this seller offered me a deal: he said that he had a sage vps, 3 pieces, 9 feet ( but it was line 4) that was better quality than the fli series, for the same price. He explaned to me that the rod was on sale because the new vts series had replaced it, but they were only 4 grames heavier, and they were excelent rods, and that I could check that at the forums. I was a little blinded by that deal and I took it, whitout realising that it was line 4, which I did realized when I got home.
I talked to my fishing friend and he said that he had always used line 6, and that I would be in trouble with that line 4 in wide rivers.
So I went back to that shop explaining my concerns over my choice of a line 4, and this seller told me not to worry that for Spain where most rivers are not so wide there is no problem, for foreing wide and windy rivers that would be a different story. So when I mentioned a river where I´ll be going sometimes which is fairly wide, he claimed that he goes often to that same river ( which I believe because he showed me pictures of him in that river, and he owns a shop near by, where he needs to go often, and that I knew before I went to his shop). He said that he always use a line 3, and he is even capable of using streemers with that line. He told me not to worry and that I had made the correct choice.
Well is not that I doubt of his sincerity and intentions, but I think that he might be wrong,and for me is more versatyl a sage fli, line 6( he does not have a vps line 6).
Please answer me as fast as you can, I´m open to all kins of views, but I nedd to know quick if I have to return this rod and change it back for a fli.
If a #6 line is what you want, or feel is the correct choice I would stick with it.
I reeled in a 22 inch Salmon the other day with a Fli 6wt and found it to be just fine. My wife has a Fli 5wt which is also a nice casting rod.
In my opinion and with my casting skill I feel a 4 wt rod is a little light for most of the heavier streamer flies. For the money a FLI is a good bet.
What type or size fish are you catching ? What type & size flys are you using.?

At least three journalists abducted in Yemen
New York, May 22, 2013--At least three journalists have been held hostage by armed tribesmen for a week in Yemen, according to news reports.
New York, May 22, 2013--At least three journalists have been held hostage by armed tribesmen for a week in Yemen, according to news reports.
New York, April 18, 2013--Yemeni authorities must investigate a series of assaults on the press in the past two weeks and ensure the perpetrators are brought to justice, the Committee to Protect Journalists said today. A bomb was discovered at a building that houses media outlets and three journalists received death threats, according to news reports and journalists who spoke to CPJ.
New York, February 9, 2012--The Committee to Protect Journalists calls on Yemeni authorities to end an ongoing siege at the offices of a daily newspaper and ensure the protection of journalists and their equipment. Armed men last week surrounded the offices of two Yemeni newspapers, one of which remains under attack, according to news reports.
New York, January 3, 2012--A Syrian state journalist and a videographer who documented unrest in Homs province were separately shot and killed in recent days, according to news accounts. The Committee to Protect Journalists is investigating the circumstances surrounding the two deaths.
Do you believe the free flow of information must be protected? Sign the #RightToReport petition and demand that President Obama immediately:
1. Issue a presidential policy directive prohibiting the hacking and surveillance of journalists and media organizations.
2. Limit aggressive prosecutions that ensnare journalists and intimidate whistleblowers.
3. Prevent the harassment of journalists at the U.S. border.
Or click here to see the full petition, and join leading journalists like Christiane Amanpour, The Guardian's Alan Rusbridger, Editor of the AP Kathleen Carroll, and Arianna Huffington in signing on.

I have nothing against conspiracy theories. Sometimes they even turn out to be real conspiracies, like Watergate, Iran-Contra, the entire Clinton administration, and the way Republicans in the Maine Legislature caved in and voted for more state borrowing.
But when it comes to conspiracy theories that turn out to be complete fantasies, I do expect them to be, at least, entertaining. And some of them are:
-The government staged the moon landings in a Hollywood studio.
-Marilyn Monroe was offed by the Mafia acting on orders from the Kennedys.
-Dennis Dechaine of Bowdoinham was framed for the 1988 murder of 12-year-old Sarah Cherry by a mysterious criminal mastermind for reasons that make no sense whatsoever.
-The Mike Heath-for-governor one-day wonder.
Unfortunately, the world is rife with less diverting scams: Birthers (President Obama was born in Kenya — or the Philippines — or someplace foreign), sovereign citizens (the federal income tax is unconstitutional — even though it was created by a constitutional amendment), and Truthers (the September 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon were orchestrated by the Bush administration, the CIA, Israel, Martians, or some combination thereof).
To date, Maine has been relatively uncluttered with advocates of the Truther movement. A radio show in Aroostook County, a Web site or two, and the occasional squirrelly protester at a peace rally or Tea Party protest constitute the bulk of the activity.
That's likely to change in early May when David Ray Griffin comes to the state.
Griffin, who's speaking in Deer Isle on May 5 and in Portland on May 6, is a retired professor of theology at a college in California. Several years ago, he became obsessed with 9/11 minutiae, and ever since, he's been turning out books such as Debunking 9/11 Debunking: An Answer to Popular Mechanics and Other Defenders of the Official Conspiracy Theory.
I did not make that title up. Although I wish I had.
Griffin's appearances here are part of a 15-stop tour in which he's attempting to convince mainstream peace activists to make common cause with the Truthers because, he says, both groups agree that the war in Afghanistan is legally and morally unjustified. Whatever merit that argument might have, sensible anti-war protesters still may want to keep their distance, lest they catch kookiness cooties.
I don't have the time, space, or energy to go into each of Griffin's principal claims in detail, but anyone who cares can go to the Web to find compelling evidence to the contrary. Just don't expect the facts to disrupt the train of illogic on his conspiracy-theory tracks. As Griffin critic Chip Berlet put it in a review of one of the Truther's books, Griffin maintains "a relentless disregard of substantial evidence from multiple sources that contradict the claims he is making."
That personality disorder contributes to Griffin being a slippery interview subject. During a phone conversation, I asked him why no one involved in what would have to be a massive undertaking to fake the destruction of 9/11 had ever come forward and admitted what they'd done. After all, most real conspiracies start to unravel when a Deep Throat coughs up some insider stuff.
"If the press, the news media, would have an investigation," he said, "you'd get plenty of people coming forward. But if somebody comes forward, the press will ridicule them as conspiracy theorists."

Family: Cyprinidae, Carps and Minnows view all from this family
Dimensions Up to 3" (7.5 cm).
Endangered Status The Spikedace is on the U.S. Endangered Species List. It is classified as threatened throughout its range in Arizona and New Mexico. The Spikedace was once widespread in the Gila River drainage and other river systems, but has been displaced in many areas by the introduced Red Shiner, which may outcompete the Spikedace for habitat and food. The modification and in some cases elimination of habitat by water management operations, as well as low water levels from drought, have also taken a toll on this species. It may be uplisted to endangered in the future.

moinmoin jsonrpc at europython2010
ok, as part of the series of transitions to python-based technology for pyjamas, i was looking to convert the wiki at some point. it turns out that the moinmoin developers are here at europython2010, so i picked their brains and they helped me create a JSONRPC interface to moinmoin 2.0-dev. with adding page create and page load, the job's pretty much done in 150 lines of code (hooray!).
so the next thing is to add in git support, and then the existing wiki (ikiwiki) miight be convertible to a full pyjamas app (hooray!)

However, I wouldn't try to work him AT ALL other than some leash training maybe... stay in the blind with me! I would carry my 12-18 week old to training sessions with the big dogs to do nothing but watch and get accustom to the people and environment. On the leash at ALL times. Really pays off down the road at the line on a hunt test or just around people.


text: Since there's a ladies thread I had to make one! I miss so many of these guys SO much, so many voidy French men over the years, I don't know if I can choose one, but I'll think I may have to go with Stanick, his "Le Petit Prince" in 2003 is one of my favourite programs of all time. When it comes to medals and titles, of course Brian is in a different league, but I always cared more for the others who really made me feel something special. Candeloro- where to start? His d'Artagnan is to die for, though CoP would bury him and his technique was wild and wonky. His way of getting into character was amazing. Loved his Lucky Luke and Godfather too. Millot- so stylish, cherised his tango. Never got the marks he deserved. Tobel - got to see his Pink Panther live at worlds 99. He was really one of a kind! Dambier - he was stiff and awkward, but I loved him regardless. He skated with his heart and had spread eagles to die for. His La Boheme was wonderful. Preaubert - loooove cute guys with funny teeth and big personalities! Who cares about messy, French technique when I can luuuurve me some crazy programs? Ponsero - so sorry he never held it together when he had the chance to take the big titles away, he really had it all. Those jumps were huuuuge, and what a text book perfect quad! Amodio - I don't manage to dislike him. I don't. Morozov or not. Crappy programs or not. I always cheer for him. Maybe I'm the only one on the whole FSU who cheer for him??? He moves like (almost) no one else (Dai is always king, always!). His basic is to die for. I will never give up hope for him. Stanick Jeannette - a guy who makes a program with the theme of American modernist sculptor Alexander Calder is so unique that we can only cry he didn't stay longer. But we will always have Euros 2003! That was my men! The others were fine, just didn't catch me. I started following skating in 1994, so before that, not so acknowledged... and btw...I'm counting Contesti as Italian

STARKVILLE — Mississippi State hasn't been here in more than decade.
It's midway through the college football season and the No. 15 Bulldogs are contending for the Southeastern Conference Western Division title and a spot in a BCS bowl game.
Those are realities not often seen in Starkville, though the Bulldogs are getting used to the attention.
"This is a lot of what they expected coming into the season," Mississippi State coach Dan Mullen said. "To be in this situation as a program, this is what we drill in our guys to expect.
"And you know — it's fantastic."
Especially considering:
— The Bulldogs haven't been ranked this high since 2000.
— Mississippi State's No. 12 spot in the current BCS standings is the third-highest in school history.
— The Bulldogs haven't been undefeated this late in a season since 1999.
Not that Mississippi State has a lot of time to bask in its early success. The Bulldogs (6-0) host Middle Tennessee State (4-2) on Saturday before a brutal stretch that includes showdowns at Alabama, against Texas A&M and at LSU.
Mullen isn't complaining about the schedule, he's just excited about the opportunity.
"In late October and in November you want to be playing big games," Mullen said. "We've put ourselves in position to do that."
Mississippi State's rise into the SEC's top tier isn't necessarily a huge surprise. The Bulldogs have been hanging around the national scene for nearly three years, but haven't been undefeated this late in a season since 1999.
One reason is an improved offense that is much more balanced than in the recent past. Mullen was forced to go with a run-heavy approach his first three seasons because it suited his personnel, but first-year starting quarterback Tyler Russell has proven to be a much more potent big-play passing threat.
Russell threw for a career-high 23 completions and 291 yards in Saturday's 41-31 victory over Tennessee. The Bulldogs have scored at least 25 points in their first six games for the first time in the 113-year history of the football program.
Russell's favorite targets have been Chad Bumphis (468 yards, six touchdowns) and tight end Marcus Green (five touchdowns), but the Bulldogs have five players with at least 10 receptions. Mississippi State offensive coordinator Les Koenning said Russell's ability to consistently complete long passes has made his job easier.
"There's no doubt," Koenning said. "Anytime you can get the big plays to happen, it's really good."
It's certainly helped LaDarius Perkins find plenty of running room. The 5-foot-10, 190-pound junior is third in the SEC with 599 rushing yards and seven touchdowns.
Koenning said the Tennessee victory was important because it proved the Bulldogs could win a true shootout.
"I was proud of the way our team reacted," Koenning said. "It was like a heavyweight fight. You get hit and what are you going to do? You're going to hit back. I saw that. Our team responded in every way. That's the sign of a good football team."
Now there's conversation if the Bulldogs can become a great team.
There are reasons to be skeptical. After all, Mississippi State's three SEC wins have come against teams that are a combined 0-11 in conference play.
Mullen has two national championship rings from his days as the offensive coordinator at Florida. He said he doesn't talk to his team about goals on a national scale, instead focusing on an SEC championship.
"If we do that, I imagine great things will happen for us, and we'll be rewarded accordingly," Mullen said.
But the path to an SEC championship is never easy. And before the Bulldogs jump back into conference play, they're worried about a Middle Tennessee team that beat Georgia Tech by three touchdowns earlier this season.
And as the Bulldogs continue to win, the pressure gets more intense.
"You're not tricking anybody going into the second half of the season," MSU defensive coordinator Chris Wilson said. "Everybody knows who's who and we know what we like and we know what they like. We've got to be a cleaner and more efficient. That comes down to preparation."

Pulaski Technical College is monitoring the weather situation and road conditions, and the college will continue to provide updates throughout the day on the college website, via email and social media. The safety of Pulaski Tech students, faculty, staff and campus visitors is the college's primary concern. In the event that the inclement weather policy is activated, immediate notification will be provided.
Inclement weather policy
In the event that the weather is so severe that the college administration believes that life and property may be in danger, the president of the college may cancel classes until weather conditions improve. When such a decision is made, the news media will be notified. Students should listen for such announcements on Little Rock radio and television stations. If there is no announcement, students should assume the college is open.
Because Pulaski Technical College is a commuter campus, inclement weather has a greater adverse impact than on a residential campus. The effects fall unevenly on individual students as road conditions and circumstances vary. Thus, individual decisions are required when hazardous weather conditions exist but the college is officially open.

Home Depot (HD), of course. Citigroup's Kate McShane and team explain why they prefer Home Depot to Lowe's (LOW):
1) We think the 0.9x EBITDA premium to Lowe's makes Home Depot look cheap in comparison to the 1.4x average spread over the past 2 years, 2) Home Depot is better exposed to states with, on average, higher home price appreciation expectations than Lowe's (Home Depot has strong exposure to CA, FL and IL), 3) Home Depot likely outperforming Lowe's on the Pro side due to better product assortment for Pro customer, stronger marketing effort toward Pro and more advanced omni-channel offering with which Lowe's must play catch-up, 4) Home Depot is aggressively gaining share in the appliance market while Lowe's has lost some ground over the last two years, 5) Home Depot is much more efficient at using investor capital and we expect this to continue.
Also, the recent softness in other home improvement –related retailers doesn't detract from our comfort in owning Home Depot.
Shares of Home Depot have dropped 0.2% to $80.33 at 3:17 p.m. today, while Lowe's has fallen 0.5% to $47.85.

I want to reiterate that you stitched a great panorama and that doing HDR or focus stacking adds another level of complexity, effort, and time. Especially with large panoramas. Masking is still an excellent tool that can yield the best results for compositing parts of an image. You can use a mask with a gradient to blend skys if there are not well defined edges. Also, learning how to use setting of the refine command of a selection is important. I have looked at the projection coordinates from an APG file and thought of using that file in another directory with file renamed to match the old files. I ended up rendering different versions of the panorama and changing the levels. Then I mask the different versions. It works well because it is from the same stitch without having to try and feed other files to the stitcher. You can also do this with HDR images stitched into an HDR panorama. Though there will be a linear camera curve without a gamma applied which will seem dark. You can render non HDR files and mask them together. Then you are able to change the levels without image degradation. I usually use the openEXR format and sometimes the .HDR format depending on which tools I use.
To your point about combining the exposure brackets first- yes I have found that as well. However, in this case what I wanted to do was layer mask a single exposure panorama over portions of the HDR to cover up motion blur. What I could not get was APG to create an exact match of the two panos with the following workflow: 1) Create an HDR pano from HDR exposures 2) Create a standard exposure pano from just the single exposures This wasn't because of HDR image alignment when making the HDR pics, and I made sure that the focal lengths, etc were the same when using the HDR exposures... it just turned out sightly different each time so I couldn't line the images up consistently across the two panos. So thus the use of APG to generate the HDR. I'm open to suggestions on other workflows or techniques- I was hoping somehow I could save the exact projection information and reuse it with the other 'matching' images but couldn't get it to work. Agree on the saturation - wanted to go exaggerated versus realistic for the 4th colors, but probably went overboard.
Great job. Usually it is much easier to combine the exposure brackets first before stitching the images. Also, you might want to reduce the saturation as the colors are much too saturated. Though, great job and thanks for explaining your workflow.

New York residents Erin and Matthew knew from the get-go that they wanted a destination wedding for all their friends and family, most of whom live in New York as well.
On their wish list: gorgeous fall weather, historical sites, tasty cuisine, and maybe even a direct flight from the city.
After declaring Charleston the winning spot, they went to work shooting for a "casually luxurious" theme that reflected them as a couple—chic yet relaxed. One favorite décor element? "For the ceremony we used lots of natural décor but with a twist of refinement, like elegant branches placed in large glass cylinders with blossoms attached in just the right places on each of the branches," says Erin. Under the guidance of Distinctive Events, Erin says that she and Matt "divided and conquered" all the wedding duties. "We checked in with each other as we went along to make sure the other person was signed off on various ideas," says Erin. That meant she handled the creative aspects (such as making programs and picking reception décor) while Matt took care of the logistics (he booked the hotel rooms for their guests and picked items for the menu).
Their hard work, plus the polish of Distinctive Events gave them a smashing night. After the ceremony in McCrady's Gallery Room, guests made their way to the restaurant's Long Room where they were greeted with a canapé selection of butternut squash soup, tomato tarte, and tuna tartar prior to a sit-down dinner of filet mignon with Madeira jus. Afterward, guests danced to Terry Lee and the GTs, and, in lieu of traditional wedding cake, sampled pie slices from a tasty dessert bar. But the best part? "Knowing that out wedding was a reflection of our style!" Erin says.
Erin's Tip: To save dollars, move your dining room centerpieces and bridesmaid bouquets onto cocktail tables at the reception.

It's Showtime In Action Today
- Written by Dave Walsh
It's Showtime wraps up their year later today with a show from their home base in Amsterdam.
The main event is for the vacant 77kg title, and is between L'houcine "Aussie" Ouzgni and Artem Levin. Originally booked as Ouzgni challenging champion Cosmo Alexandre for the belt, the match was changed after Cosmo took part in the King's Cup tournament against IS's wishes, resulting in him being stripped of the title. Ouzgni v. Alexandre was a great fight on paper, but this is a good substitution. Both fighters are coming in off huge wins - Ouzgni's destruction of top 10 fighter Nieky Holzken, and Levin's upset victory over Yodsaenklai Fairtex. I like this fight, but Aussie is just too dominant right now; I expect him to take the win. This division is really gaining strength at the moment, and the winner here can make a claim to being at the top of the 77kg mountain.
The other big fight is in the 70kg division and is a potential show stealer between K-1 MAX Final 8 fighter Mo Khamal and Mosab Amrani. These are two popular fighter, who have gained strong fan support for their action-packed fights. This could be a classic.
Other fights on the main card are: K-1 2010 Europe GP champion Freddy Kemayo v. Anderson "Braddock" Silva; Warren Stevelmans v. Kenneth van Eesvelde; Murthel Groenhart v. Khlaid Bourdif; and, in a late replacement, Frank Munoz v. Rico Verhoeven.
The show will be streamed live at It's Showtime Fights for 10 Euro. Click here for details.

Well, this is a new thread, isn't it! Arranged by state, very cool, very cool .
I went shopping to the Wilkes-Barre Wegman's last night and had a "new" find...
Episode 1 figures, again!
These are brand-spankin new, they are $1.99 for the figures and $2.99 for the Commtech reader. They have about 60+ readers and these figures:
Senator Palpatine
Darth Sidious
Chancellor Valorum
Ric Olie(sorry, no weird hand variants!)
Mace Windu
OOM-9(I have to look, it's a .0000, but I can't remeber if the binoculars in hand is the rare version....?)
Gasgano/Pit Droid
Tarpals(nice to see him with the new TRU version in stores... )
Boss (now I'm really gonna show you how I can shrink before POTJ) Nass
I can not believe that as of 11/19 you can actually go into a regular old retail store and buy new Ep1 figures.
Since I unloaded a lot of these a few years back(loooong story,won't bore all of you out there), I grabbed C3PO, a Sidious with a chin that was actually fully painted, and a OOM that didn't have bent arms.
I'll report back-I'm definitely hittin the Dickson City Wegman's to-night!
BTW, I'm gonna toy hunt after hitting SpongeBob at the Cin-e-mark!
Good luck on the finds(I know, for all my rants this week about Hasbro, a toy run WOULDN'T seem in order, but Fridays seem to be lucky....I hope....).
