Do you make Expanded Universe scenes from the comics and books? List them and show them.
I have to start with a list. I'll get pictures later.
Jedi Aprentice: I made a Xanatos out of Kieth from Voltron and a Sith accessory cloak and I used the Snowbi-wan head on a small E2 Obi-Wan body to get a very small and young looking Obi-Wan next to the soft-goods Qui-Gon, which was by far the largest.
Jedi Council - Acts of War: With no Yinchorri Commando figures, this one's going to be hard to finish. However, before I head of AOTC's big fight scene, I loved the idea of having Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, Mace, SaeSee Tiin, Adi Gallia, Eeth Koth, and Plo Koon all in this big battle. Perhaps if they make Shu Mai and can customize him into the little Jedi Master of his species, and use Coleman Trebdor as Padawan Theen Fida. Villie would be great to have as Adi Gallia's prisoner! Oh well.... maybe Hasbro will get on the ball someday.
Jedi Training: just Obi-Wan armor fighting Qui-Gon armor. They were nice figures so I had to do something with them...
Sith Training: to contrast the Jedi's methods, I have shirtless Maul (deluxe) vs his training droid and Colossus, the bad robot from the Cubix collection. It looks seriously right for this use...
Darth Maul: it's an excuse to have Maul killing some of my favorite alien sculpts like they're Black Sun thugs - the skiff guards, a Gamorrean, Amanaman, and this black-ops soldier figure that looks like he'd sort of resemble the type of rogue Lorn Pavon was.
Cloak of Deception: the Valorum assasination attempt - a human 21st Century dude is all decked out like a Star Wars mercenary, and he's joined by a Rodian wearing a mask, and a Bith with a Calamarian weapon - they're exchanging fire with 2 Senate Guards (to give these guys some action) while Qui-Gon and Adi Gallia protect Valorum. It's nice to see what that scene would've actually looked like.
Cloak of Deception 2: Here 4 securtity droids and OOM-9 try to kill the Bith partner in the Trade Federation (it never used to be Niemoidians only!) Obi-Wan, Ki-Adi Mundi, and SaeSee Tiin try to save him, only to get their first tast of fighting Geonosian battle droids - though they have no idea where they came from. I should have a regally dressed human figure, a nice looking Gran (not Ree-Yees), and a well-dressed Sollustan (not Nien Numb) to be the other partners that were killed when the Jedi were distracted by pirates. That ploy left the Niemoidians as the only surviving owners of the Trade Federation. Maybe some Duros or a stripped down Lott Dodd could be added to this scene. I have the figures, but haven't set it up. I should try it out and see what else it could use.
Outlander: this was so epic that I hunted down exclusive skiffs as best as I could during their limited release. After taking care of my movie scene needs, I got one extra skiff on which Ki-Adi Mundi and a POTF2 Tusken I gave a lightsaber to, are fighting off a Rodian, the skiff guard 3-pack team, and a Weequay. I have a Bantha with Tusken saved for this, and Aurra Sing who'll be taking sniper shots. I believe I'll be adding some Tusken figures, including females and set this up nice. It'll be a rather large EU scene, but wasn't Outlander worth it?
The Hunt for Aurra Sing: I can't wait to get her speederbike from the bounty hunters 4-pack. Of course I have Ki-Adi Mundi protecting Tessek, and Adi Gallia engaging the bounty hunter. I still wish they'd make A'sharad and The Dark Woman and this setup would be complete.
Rogue Planet 1: for not one of my favorite books, the garbage chute races was an irresistable scene. That and the chance to show a very young Anakin's adventures with his new Master. Jack in the Box restaraunts had these rocket wings that were perfect for the ones described in the story where Anakin leaps off buildings on Coruscant (not realizing he was practicing for E2) and Obi-Wan has to chase him before a Bloodcarver alien (wish they made that!) tries and kills Anakin during the illegal races.
Rogue Planet 2 : I just like the Naboo Anakin in his cloak - which he'd never be wearing in any of my movie scenes, so I have him with Coco-Wan and they are going to meet with a custom Wilhuff Tarkin that I make out of a 21st Century WWII toy's pefect young Tarkin head, and the Lt. Faytooni body once the Club Outlander con-artist comes out.
JediQuest: Obi-Wan cold weather takes Anakin (little padawan) to make his lightsaber in the ice caves of Illum. It seemed a way to use the ultra-cool Cold Weather Obi-Wan.
Boba Fett- Crossfire: Right now it just might be Aurra Sing delivering a young Fett as her prisoner to Count Dooku. Perhaps I can add Wat Tambler soon - maybe some other Separatists. I think Poggle resigned that game by then considering what he lost on Geonosis...unless he's coming back for revenge against the Republic?
Chewbacca: Han frees Chewie from slavery. I used a buch of Slave-Leia chains and things I had extra from customs, and have Chewie pretty much locked up, but Han (in an Imperial officer's uniform) is blasting through those bindings, while Chewie worns him that Imps and Stormtroopers are on their way to stop him! I want to add a grey uniformed Imp officer to take Cmdr. Nyklas' place once they make one.
Han Solo and the Lost Legacy: I had bought these adventure girls action figures to get some lady customs out of, and one of them was a red-head with a ball cap on, that fit the description of Hasti. I figured why not? With discounted Hans and Chewies available, I got them going after Xim's Treasure. Now what about Skyynx, Badure, and Gallandro? I have to watch other action figure lines until the right one comes along. I doubt Hasbro will ever do these.
Underworld: - I needed an excuse to get Cantina Han, Bespin Escape Lando, Mechanic Chewbacca, Boba Fett 300 and all the rest of the bounty hunters into action - even some Jawas. It was a great comic, so this seemed like the best way to do it. These are some of the line's best figures of these characters! (and I'd already bought so many of each of the earlier sculpts of those dudes that I thought I'd need for film scenes, that I had no need for the resculpts - but these were irresistable craftsmanship!)
The Lost Scenes: I'm saving a Luke Floppy Hat just in case they finally make Biggs Tatooine! Geeze I hope!
Dark Forces: I just have Kyle Katarn fighting off the Dark Trooper. There's not much else to do here. The Dark Trooper was a good figure, so why not?
Xizor meets Palpatine: two Royal Guards flank the Emperor in his throne chair of his personal Skyhook as Xizor comes to offer his master a deal.
Battle of the Bounty Hunters - I built my own cantina so I didn't need that cardboard one. Nevertheless it was nice and I wanted to use it for something. So it became the bar on Gall that the other Hunters call Fett into to double-cross him and try to gain access to Slave-One so they can get one carbon-frozen Han and split the bounty. Besides Bossk, 4-LOM, and Zuckuss, and Fett, I got to use my favorite aliens in the bar - a Weequay, Gamorrean, and Ree-Yees, along with Ponda Baba with a droid arm, an Ithorian refugee, Nien Numb recruiting Lak Sivrak, 2 Bith mercenaries, a Rodian, and Kyle Katarn in the wrong place at the wrong time. A custom Mara Jade is the bartender, recreating her spying that tracked Han to Jabba's so she would know when she could make the attempt to kill Luke.
Beggar's Canyon - this is a big one, a six-footer. Slave-One flies in to Tatooine towards Jabba's. It should be fighting the IG-2000, but I don't have my hopes up. On one mesa, a Bantha and a group of Tuskens watch. On the other side, are Jawas and a Ronto. Below Dash Rendar on a swoop struggles to knock off 4 other swoopers who are pursuing Luke (I used the Dagobah figure) who is giving his green lightsaber its first test.
Coruscant: I haven't had the money or room to build this one yet - in a 7 foot high wall cabinet stripped of shelves, is a two-level cross-section of the city. Guri's stinger, a Titan, A.E. ship standing in, has just landed with its pilot, Leia as Boussh, and Chewie as Snoova. Meanwhile Xizor is meeting with none other than Darth Vader who's come to tell the Dark Prince that he WILL kill him if he doesn't leave Luke Skywalker alone! But Luke and Lando in guard disguises have been found out, and they are battling an elite group of Imperials to get past the defenses around the sewers that lead into Xizor's palace's lowest levels! They are using the distraction of a food riot (inspired by Arnold Schwarzeneggar's 'The Running Man' in which stormtroopers are cutting down aliens and mercenary soldiers from the GI Joe toy line) as a distraction before more backup can arrive and capture Skywalker and Calrissian. But they are about to be surprised by back-up on their side: Dash Rendar has come to assist them - so long as the money doesn't run out!
Xizor's Prisoner: a custom Leia in blue casuals is seduced by evil Prince Xizor as she tries to enlist him to eliminate whoever is trying to kill Luke - never realizing that HE is the one who wishes the young Jedi dead!
Coruscant Ultarama: on an Ultarama, Luke Ceremony, Leia Boussh, a custom Lando in Imperial Elite Guard disguise, Dash Randar, and Chewbacca in Snoova disguise take on Xizor, Guri (from Princess Alurra from Voltron figures with some slight customizing) and 3 Elite Imperial Guardsmen in blaster contest.
The Skyhook Battle: the Millennium Falcon and the Outrider race uner a big bulk transport to avoid Xizor's fighters (which aren't available to be in the scene) while Wedge zooms in aboard an X-wing to give them cover. If they hurry, they can catch Boba Fett in Slave-One who is getting away. But Darth Vader's TIE Fighter might spell trouble for them! (This was a scene inspired by SOTE, but hardly correct and authentic. I really wanted Xizor's Virago for this. I bought the Ertl model kit of the Prince's ship, and I plan to use its pieces to make larger ones so I can put together a ship that will hold a Xizor action figure. I have no idea when I'll find time and a sure-thing method to do that, though!)
I did more, including 10 scenes from Dark Empire, and 4 from Crimson Empire, but I'm tired of typing them all out right now.
I'll describe more of them later. Hopefully I'll get some pictures up.

11.16: Flow of Matter in Ecosystems
What happens when you don't get enough of a nutrient?
Millions of sailors in the 15th through 18th centuries died mysteriously. They developed a disease called scurvy. The scurvy, it turns out, was due to the lack of vitamin C in their diets. It wasn't until 1932 that the link between scurvy and vitamin C was made. Without the right nutrients in the right amounts, you can't live. Other animals and plants also need the right nutrients to live.
How Matter Moves Through Ecosystems
Living things need nonliving matter as well as energy. What do you think matter is used for? One thing is to build bodies. They also need it to carry out the processes of life. Any nonliving matter that living things need is called a nutrient. Carbon and nitrogen are examples of nutrients. Unlike energy, matter is recycled in ecosystems. You can see how in Figure below.
- Decomposers release nutrients when they break down dead organisms.
- The nutrients are taken up by plants through their roots.
- The nutrients pass to primary consumers when they eat the plants.
- The nutrients pass to higher level consumers when they eat lower level consumers.
- When living things die, the cycle repeats.
This diagram shows two cycles. One is the cycle of energy, the other is the cycle of matter. Compare the two cycles. Do you see how the sun keeps adding energy? That's because energy is lost at each step of the cycle. Matter doesn't have to be added. Can you explain why?
- nutrients: Nonliving matter that organisms need to live and grow.
- Nutrients are crucial to the growth of organisms.
- Decomposers break down dead organisms into nutrients and gases so that they can be used by other organisms.
- Nutrients can enter or exit an ecosystem at any point and can cycle around the planet.
Use this resource to answer the questions that follow.
- What is carbon dioxide in the air a reservoir for?
- What do producers do with carbon?
- What do herbivores do with carbon?
- Why is the biomass of carnivores less than herbivores?
- What do decomposers do?
- How is carbon returned to the atmosphere?
- How does the flow of matter differ from the flow of energy through an ecosystem?
- How do nutrients move through an ecosystem?
- What would happen to life on Earth if there were no decomposers?

- Description
Early evening pano of the amazing view from the Wedge Overlook above the San Rafael River in Central Utah. This area is some times called the Little Grand Canyon for obvious reasons. I think this is one of the most spectacular views in Utah. I've been trying to find the time to make it down there and shoot a gigapan for years. Glad I finally made it and the weather and light coopoerated. Lost a bit of detail in the bottom left of the pano du to the shadow of the setting sun. For the first time I needed to cover the viewfinder on the camera with the little rubber widget on the sholder strap to get it to expose the image correctly. I think the super bright setting sun oposite the direction the camera was point was messing up the exposre. The dark images on the bottom left side are the result of this. Once I fixed it, everything went off pretty well. Shot the last 4 rows on auto focus to get the closer features in focus. Took a couple of stops and backing up to make sure I didn't miss any images.

Thanks. Helps to start with an amazing view!
Stunning photo. Thank you.
Thanks! That view is amazing, I've been trying to get down there for years to shoot a gigapan. I just got a new Canon 60D which takes very good pictures in tough lighting. I used the Epic Pro and stitched the pano with the new EFX version of the stitcher which lets you tweak the colors. I had it on auto-focus rather than manual for the last ~200 images since the depth of field varied a lot. I had the viewfinder blocked for the last few rows so the setting sun on the back side of the camera wouldn't mess up the exposure. You can see in the dark spots on the left where this happened before I noticed it.
Wow Tim! That's a very nice panorama and landscape. Congratulations!! Did you use something motorized to control the camera?

Police use tracking software to find armed-robbery suspect
18-year-old arrested on armed-robbery charge
MADISON, Wis. - Madison police said they arrested a suspect in a downtown Madison armed robbery with the help of tracking software on the victim's stolen laptop.
The 29-year-old victim told police he was walking into his building in the 400 block of West Main Street about 9:45 p.m. Tuesday when a man came behind him and pointed a silver handgun at him. The robber told him to drop the bag he was carrying and demanded his wallet and cellphone.
The robber took the items and told the victim to wait until he was gone before calling police.
A Madison police detective used tracking software on the victim's stolen MacBook to find the approximate location of the laptop computer Wednesday afternoon.
Several investigators went to the 800 block of East Washington Avenue, which is where the software was showing the approximate location of the MacBook.
Detectives went inside a warming shelter at 827 E. Washington Ave. The MacBook was found, as was a BB gun that looked very much like a real handgun, according to a Madison Police Department incident report.
Police said the 18-year-old suspect, identified as Alex A. Mann, was also present. Mann was arrested on a charge of armed robbery, according to the incident report.
Police said Mann claims no permanent address, and among his possessions were Greyhound luggage receipts.

Serves 6
When rhubarb is in season in early spring, make the most of its tart flavor with this spicy, pale pink cocktail. It's easy to scale up, making it perfect for a brunch or as a signature wedding drink.
In a medium (3-quart) saucepan, combine the rhubarb, sugar, and ginger with 1 cup water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then lower the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb is broken down and softened, about 15 to 20 minutes.
Strain through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing on the solids. Stir in the lemon juice and refrigerate until chilled.
Divide the syrup among 6 champagne flutes (about 1/4 cup each) and top with sparkling wine or soda water.

Fan Club,
I did leave for a little while toward the end of the season, I just get a little tired of some of the posts on here but they generally come from 1 or two people so I just steer clear of them now. Wish I had until May 31st to hunt, but if my season lasted that long I think my wife would divorce me.
Good luck on the rest of your season, I will read the post's just may not answer much.

This is a summer staple! Love the combination of flavors. Have made with Israeli couscous and with quinoa-both are good and great for lunch throughout the week. Have made for potlucks too and people always ask for the recipe.
This was excellent. I substituted quinoa for the cous cous. I also used rice vinegar instead of white wine vinegar, although I did pour in a splash of pinot grigio that I had on hand. One for the salad, one for me ;)
Nice but certainly not the best salad I have ever made or had, as many of the reviews make it sound here. Will not make again.
I made it yesterday for a dinner party. We all loved it! Like other previous reviewers, I've used quinoa instead of couscous, and goat cheese instead of feta cheese. It was really delicious! Thank you!
I made this delicious salad twice in one week, once with regular couscous and once with toasted whole wheat couscous. I substituted lemon juice for the vinegar and used baby arugula, both times it came out excellent. I will be making this quite often.
This is a great recipe and leaves plenty of space for creativity. I made it with quinoa and a package of Trader Joe's ready-to-eat lentils, doubled the dressing (with red wine vinegar), and used parsley and green onions instead of mint/arugula, and left out the feta to make it a little lighter. I didn't wait 3 hours for it to chill but just stuck the quinoa in the fridge while I chopped up everything else, then mixed it all together and ate it fresh for dinner - it was delicious! And I'm sure the leftovers will be even better tomorrow!
I made this for the first time for the 4th of July. The assembly time was a bit lower than listed, but I may just be a slow "chopper." The taste was fresh, light and healthy. The only changes I made were to substitute rice vinegar for the white wine vinegar, and add some fresh lemon juice after it was assembled. It seemed to need just a little perking up to make the integrated flavors pop. It's a keeper. I plan to make it again...and again.
I've never felt like reviewing a recipe before, but I had to with this one. I've made this twice for a lunch party for 100 adults and a much smaller dinner party. In both instances, people couldn't stop telling me how good it was and asked me for the recipe. At the larger lunch party, it was the only dish that finished by the end. I used white wine balsamic vinegar instead and it gave more tartness and slightly sweet flavor. I also use 1/2 spring mix leaves and 1/2 arugula because my husband complains that arugula tastes bitter to him.
This was delicious! Easy, healthy and even better the next day. My husband loved it and normally doesn't like these types of dishes. Used an extra garlic clove and I found a brown rice couscous that made this gluten free!
This salad is SO SO good. I make it whenever I want to impress someone and do it quickly and easily. It always completely disappears at potlucks. One substitution that is amazing is quinoa (made according to the package directions) in place of the couscous. Same texture, but quinoa is an amazing 18 percent protein and one of the few complete proteins in the plant family (like soybeans, it contains an adequate proportion of all nine of the essential amino acids necessary for the dietary needs of humans.)

Pray for deliverance from
PDiddy's stupidity.
From Yahoo News:
Anyone else sick of this crap bag?Quote:
Diddy Drops the P. By Sarah Hall
"It's the era of Diddy."
So proclaimed the hip-hop impresario formerly known as Sean Combs, Puffy, Puff Daddy and now P. Diddy on Tuesday's Today Show, as he explained that he was changing his name once again.
The rap mogul last switched it up--from Puff Daddy to P. Diddy--in 2001, while seeking a "fresh start" after being acquitted on gun charges.
As for what brought about the latest change in moniker, the entertainer admitted that his previous name change left his fans uncertain of how to address him.
"I felt like the 'P' was getting between me and my fans and now we're closer," Diddy said.
"During concerts, half the crowd is saying 'P. Diddy'--half the crowd is chanting 'Diddy'--now everybody can just chant 'Diddy.' "
He confessed that his unwieldy name was even starting to befuddle him.
"I even started to get confused myself--and when I'd called someone on the telephone it took me a long time to explain who I was. Too long," Diddy told the New York Post.
"One word. Five letters. Period," he added.

The interview is edited and condensed.
GRISWOLD V. CONNECTICUT FOUND A RIGHT TO PRIVACY IN THE CONSTITUTION. CAN YOU PROVIDE A SENSE FOR THE LEGAL SIGNIFICANCE — THE LEGAL SWEEP — OF THAT FINDING? The significance of that finding was enormous. There is no mention of a "right to privacy" in the Constitution, but Justice William O. Douglas, writing for the majority, found that some rights not explicitly protected may nonetheless exist in the sense that "without those peripheral rights the specific rights would be less secure." The language Douglas used in Griswold to support the right to privacy was both broad and vague. He argued that "specific guarantees in the Bill of Rights have penumbras, formed by emanations from those guarantees that help give them life and substance." (The specific guarantees he referred to included the First, Third, Fourth, Fifth, and Ninth Amendments.)
That said, the right to privacy articulated and defended in Griswold was "the right to marital privacy," not a general right to privacy. It was not until 1972, in Eisenstadt v. Baird, that the Court established the right of unmarried couples to use contraceptives. In that case, Justice William J. Brennan, Jr., writing for the majority, held that "If the right of privacy means anything, it is the right of the individual, married or single, to be free from unwarranted governmental intrusion into matters so fundamentally affecting a person as the decision whether to bear or beget a child."
In Roe v. Wade (1973), the right to privacy was found "broad enough to encompass a woman's decision whether or not to terminate her pregnancy." [But] in Harris v. McRae, the Court decided that the right to privacy did not require the government to fund (through Medicaid) medically necessary abortions (even though Medicaid covered pregnancy and childbirth). In this case, Griswold was construed as protecting decisional privacy. The Court ruled that "although the government may not place obstacles in the path of a woman's exercise of her freedom of choice, it need not remove those not of its own creation."
Feminist legal scholar Catharine MacKinnon has argued that the court's doctrinal choice to pursue the right to abortion under privacy law, rather than under equal protection law, was a mistake, one reinforcing a public/private split that has pernicious consequences for women.

One Response to "First snow fall of 2008"
Wishing you a beautiful winter season. The photo is lovely and reminds me of the magic that the first snowfall brings to all who witness it. I remember every year that I lived in the northeast, the first snowfall would arrive and my children's eyes would glisten. They would jump for joy, as if it was the first time they had witnessed this event.

As the UNIX system has spread, the fraction of its users who are skilled in its application has decreased. Time and again, we have seen experienced users, ourselves included, find only clumsy solutions to aproblem, or write programs to do jobs that existing tools handle easily.
-Kernighan/Pike, 1984
There are many people who use UNIX or Linux who IMHO do not understand UNIX. UNIX is not just an operating system, it is a way of doing things, and the shell plays a key role by providing the glue that makes it work. The UNIX methodology relies heavily on reuse of a set of tools rather than on building monolithic applications. Even perl programmers often miss the point, writing the heart and soul of the application as perl script without making use of the UNIX toolkit.

In "Decision Time," Editor Brian Lovett will share a scenario from his 20-plus years hunting turkeys. Each hinges on a critical decision. Post what choice you would have made, and then see how things actually turned out.
Manifest Destiny
The Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota might lack many things, but it has no shortage of turkeys.
In fact, four years ago, a buddy and I were standing over a still-flopping longbeard when a distant gobble caught our attention. Sure enough, the bird was pacing back and forth along a wide-open canyon rim about a quarter-mile away.
"Brian, go kill that turkey," my friend instructed.
So off we went. I had to cross through two or three deep, timbered hollows to reach the edge of canyon, but the turkey was gobbling steadily, letting me keep precise tabs on his location.
Well, until I reached the edge of the timber below the rim, of course. Then he shut up.
"Geez," I thought. "Did I bump him?"
No way. I'd been well hidden. The gobbler was still up there, probably just over the apex of the canyon rim. I crow-called. Nothing. I crowed again. Zip. Reluctantly, I yelped on my mouth call. Silence.
Crap. If the bird was over the rim, he was likely more than 120 yards away. I could probably yelp him in somewhat, but I didn't have a decoy, so the turkey might hang up well out of range. However, if I tried to move closer, I'd stand out like the proverbial you-know-what in a punchbowl if the longbeard crested the hilltop.
Time for a decision, Pine Ridge style.

I need some advice, or maybe reassurance on this.
I've only taken my pup(12 months) Hunting, 3 Times this year.
I take him to the duck blinds that aren't known for Slaughtering Ducks and bringing in Big Groups etc. and usually with younger Hunters who obviously won't mind if I have to take a time out with pup(Which I haven't really had to do) Usually the 1 to 5 ducks a day type blinds which actually seems to work out perfect for young dogs right?
This post I made earlier has some more info in it to digest;I did all sorts or socializing for my pup when it came to hunting scenarios, or so I thought. Somehow, I too just never thought about the BLACK HOLE IN THE EARTH that I wanted my Dog to get DOWN INTO and be still in. At least that's how I think he saw it LOL!
First hunt I physically had to put him IN IT. Once in it he kind of whined about it. Not LOUD but just enough volume to be annoying.
I also hadn't really prepared him to see WAKE MAKERS, boy was that a trip.
So after a couple hunts, he now jumps into the Box and sits down and also pays the Wake Makers no mind at all. Still whines though ..... might need some help with that in another topic.
This video LINK below is a Sport/Paid Hunters Dog. He did this almost the entire hunt. We worked it out later with the tone button on the collar(Different Story lol). However this is just an example of what my pup is NOT doing. He doesn't bark or get loud like this 2 yr old.
Nothing to see, just audio really.
> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVYQqydnzhI
This is the ONLY audio/video(Dark vid) I have of my pup doing this. You might have to turn up the Volume to hear it, but beware the SHOTS ARE LOUD!
So at first I thought he just wanted some affection b/c he seems to stop when I give him my hand are rub on his face etc. But it does seem like it could be a bit of anxiety too or maybe just being bored in the box?
This is why I said I made need advice or maybe assurance that he's just a young pup that needs Blind Time to calm down? However I obviously don't want this to become a habit either and I do grab his muzzle and pop him when he does it. But that doesn't seem to work....
Do I ignore him? Do I pop him every single time instantly? Do I see how he does the next couple times?
Thanks in advance folks.

The Don Miguel is a 3 star hotel in the centre of Playa del Ingles. It is approximately 1.5 Km from the beach but a courtesy coach runs from the hotel several times of day. The main shopping centre, The Yumbo (a bit of a concrete jungle) is less than 200metres away.
This hotel is absolutely fantastic. The standards of cleanliness are second to none. I have never been in a Hotel where all the staff, without exception, are extremely friendly. Get to know your waiters they are a lovely bunch of people. The menus are pretty limited but the choices are huge. Even the fussiest of eaters would be able to find something they like. The food is well cooked and hot. Most of the meat is prepared by the chefs in the restaurant so you can tell it has just been cooked. You are given a set time for evening meal either 6pm or 8pm but these times are negotiable. Your table is yours for the week for dinner but at breakfast you can sit anywhere. Breakfasts take a little while to get into a routine, as you have to collect so many items from all over the restaurant i.e. coffee pots in one place, tea in another milk somewhere else and then you sit down and realise you have forgotten cutlery! Once you get to sit down the food is good with an amazing selection.
The hotel operates a no money policy so you just sign your docket whether it is for a bottle of water or an ice cream at the poolside. This means that you never have to take any money with you within the hotel grounds. The safe in the rooms are the cheapest I have ever had at 12 euros for 7 nights (again payable at the end of your stay).
The pool is advertised as heated but my cold feet would dispute this. The pool like the rest of the hotel is very clean but deep. It has an overall depth of 1.35 metres. I am 5' 1" and the water came just above my chin around the edges and over my nose in the centre of the pool. There are ample sun beds and parasols and quite rigid removal of towels left unattended before 9am.
The majority of guests are German so you tend to hear more German than Spanish spoken. However if you can manage a few Spanish words you will be adored by the staff. The Thomson rep leaves out no details of flights home so it has to be looked up in the Portland file. There are many many Tui files but they are all German or Dutch.
Ok so if this hotel is so good why is it only 3 star? I think the following may contribute to this. It is situated on a very busy main road and the majority of the rooms face the road rather than the pool. There is no air conditioning only ceiling fans. There is no tea or coffee making facilities and no fridges in the rooms. To my mind these were the only problem. Do not stay in this hotel or resort if you are homophobic. It has a huge gay following. We were extremely lucky to have timed our stay to coincide with the drag queen competition and the carnival. The site was truly spectacular. The floats (all 80 + of them) took nearly 4 hours to go past. Some were full of children others full of drag Queens.
The resort is has many commercial centres within walking distances. My teenage daughter and I had the misfortune of going to the Kasbah centre where she got shop keepers grabbing her and trying to kiss her. Not a pleasant experience.
Transfer by coach from the airport to the hotel is about 30 – 40 minutes.
If you are unhappy with any aspect of the hotel just ask the staff are really obliging.
Would I go back to this hotel again – definitely Just wish it was in better location. (Portslade)
This is an honest opinion about the Hotel Riu Miguel and island of Gran Canaria. The over all marks are excellent 3* should be 4* for servce/food and bedroom comfort . Staff are all friendly the hotel the manager even asked us personally if every thing was ok i call that service. The hotel is 1 minuite away from the nearest shopping/ bars centre etc and it is 1500m from the beach but no worries as there is a free regular bus from and to the hotel. The rooms are fairly big, clean, plenty of draws and storage space for cases and clothes, nice bathroom but for all of you bidet lovers you are out of luck but who uses them any way?. Although our room was over looking the main road this wasnt an inconvinence as the patio doors blocked out most of the noise any way. The room has a ceiling fan which most 3* hotels dont even have in the canaries (hint take a pair of tweezers so you can pull the very short bead cord to alter the fan speed to your liking.
The food is superb with a wide choice of salads, and the hot dishes even better with most the meat, fish. etc being coooked on the spot in front of you a choice of fish, beef, pork. Poultry availble every night and a wide choice of vegetables at least another variety of potato as well as chips. The breakfast's are good but you only get either bacon or sausage(hot dog type)or ham either day you can also have any of the available cold meats too but i have found that out in most hotels any way but there was enough to choose from and fill you up till tea time any way.
The resort/hotel Playa Del Ingles wasnt as rowdy as i thought it would be even in the main season it is suitable for all ages and lifestyles. The resort has several shopping/bar centres not one strip as most resorts but it does give you a choice.
The island has blue bay parking in some areas this means you have to pay at the ticket meter although not really expensive look around cause on the other side of the road or around the corner it may or will be free or park on a crossing (joking) cause i saw the warden put a ticket fine on the blue bay but ignored the car on the crossing.
If you can hire a car as there is plenty of scenery to see.
So book your holiday at the Riu Don Miguel as you wont be dissapointed if i was i would have told you. (WEST MIDLANDS)
On arrival the hotel looks lovely. The reception area is lovely and clean. The room was nice, always clean and contained everything we needed. The breakfast in the hotel was lovely however the evening meal contained similar things every night and we ended up going out for quite a few meals. Meals were also severd at two intervalls, one at 6 o'clock and one at 8 o'clock, we were placed on the earlier sitting which we found to be too early. We had a really nice, private balcony overlooking the pool however some of the rooms seemed to have poorer views from the back of the hotel. The pool area was clean and pleasent, we went at the start of july which was nice but the pool did get very full towards the end of the holiday. The beach is quite a long walk from the hotel, taking about 25 minuets down hill, this was fine on the way down but was a bit of a hike on the way back up especially in the blazing heat, however there are plenty of taxi's or plenty of places on the way to break the journey. Theree were a few parasols available on the beach but most people bought their own, available for about 10 euros. The town centre is brilliant on a night and is just around the corner from the hotel, however i would ask for directions as it is quite hard to find as it is down a side street behind another hotel. The hotel entertainment on a night was good and varied. The entertainment manager spoke about 20 languages so everyone could join in. The hotel also offered some trips during the day such as a trip to the market. A trip to the water park is a must and the local bus service drops you right outside. On the whole the holiday was great, even though we never met our airtours holiday rep, the hotel was clean, with friendly staff and was in an good location. I would go back to the hotel and playa del Ingles, but I would have to go earlier as the heat was unbeliveble and sun burn is inevitable even when using a high factor and staying in the shade a lot, so watch out if you have young kids.
This really is a very good hotel and probably deserves a four star rating. If there is a downside, it is that it is right on a very busy raod traffic island, but that said, we had no problem. It is a 15 minute walk from the beach, but just a few minutes from the shoping centre which at night provides all the entertainment you will ever need. The staff are very good and the food gave no cause for complaint whatsoever. I'm looking to go back again this year if we can get a good deal. We stayed at the Wakiki or however its spelt the year after, but the Don Miguel for me is far better. (Malvern)
Having been to Puerto Rico the previous year, which i really enjoyed but was pretty quiet we thought we try the livelier Playa del Ingles. The main centre (Kasbah) was spoilt by people continuously pressurising you to go in their bars. It really really overpriced (£8 for a cocktail!) and very tacky. However the beach was large and beautiful, and we found some nice restaurants (although very german orientated along the front).
We found the Riu don Miguel spotlessly clean, but because our room looked over a main road quite noisy from the traffic. The pool was clean and the buffet breakfast fantastic.
Our only complaints were that it was just too far from the beach and centre, and we had to get taxi everywhere because of the 20 minute plus up hill walk and it didnt really feel like we were on holiday because of the distance.
Also despite being in a British brochure, we were the only English people at the hotel, it was completely overrun with germans! All the entertainment was in german, and the buffet dinner definitely catered for them (sausages etc..)
Don't waste your money paying for the reps trip to the waterpark the hotel is right by a bus stop and its much cheaper to buy your tickets when you get there.
Don't bother with sioux city, its dirty, the show tacky and terrible. Packed in like cattle onto benches, you cant get near the supposedly free bar and the food was inedible.
However the camel day was fun, definitely worth the money, if not a bit scary!
I would go back to playa del ingles again but id stay near or on the beach, its biggest asset.
don miguel is a fantastic hotel only a 3 star but should be 4.the food is superb and the staff friendly and helpful.the kids club was really good too. all in all not to be faulted.
this 3* hotel should be entered into the friendliest and comfortable hotel in europe. we have stayed in many 4 & 5* hotels over the years but i have to say that this beats them all on food, service and nothing is too much trouble for any of the staff. the only drawback was probably that the swimming pool area was rather small.

Hello everyone, I am new to the forum but look forward to meeting each of you.
I know these are going to sound like big questions from the new guy, but i am curious!
Has anyone here ever killed a Royal slam with archery equipment? If so, have you done it in one season? If so, was your Gould's an American bird or a Mexican bird?
Do you know of anyone that has done this?
The reason I ask is because I was lucky enough to draw an Arizona Gould's tag (it took me 9 bonus points), and I am excited about trying the Royal slam next spring.
I am just an average guy that works a 50 hour week, no money for guides and fancy accommodations. I will be hunting all of these birds with family and friends.
Thanks in advance for your input!

Different trends in European stockmarkets (Milan +3%, Paris +0.9%, Frankfurt -0.2%, London -1.8%). The industrial sector rotation favouring bank stock continued (DJ Stoxx Banks 1.5%) while the sectors and stock that outperformed in 2010 saw the highest sales: this was the case in the Auto & Parts segment, for which the sector index fell –4.2% over the week (+44.5% in the 2010 FY)
Pirelli fell 1.6% to close the week at €5.8, outperforming the European Auto&Parts index by 2.6pp.
The market reacted positively to the announcement of price increases (+3% on Passenger, +7% on Industrial in EMEA and Asia from the beginning of March). For analysts (Unicredit, Chevreux, Banca IMI, etc.) this increase is likely to success, given the strong demand; moreover, Pirelli's solid track record on the price/mix will allow it to minimise/offset the steep increase in the cost of raw materials.
The RBS valuation of Pirelli shares was revised upward, bringing the TP to €8.0 (from €7.0) For the broker, the focus on the premium and emerging markets will be effective growth levers in the coming years.
The BUY view was confirmed by Equita and Interomonte.
The consensus target price was €7.1, and the recommendation is primarily Buy (63% of analysts' coverage).

What are the key trends in Asia related to infant health and nutrition and how is Fonterra positioned to address them?
Professor Cleghorn: With over 30 million babies born in China alone each year, Fonterra's key focus areas is maternal and paediatric nutrition. Additionally, in a region that is becoming increasingly more affluent, consumers are now at a stage where they are able to consider more targeted nutrition for their children, making maternal and paediatric nutrition one of the fastest growing categories in the world.
What are the initiatives undertaken by Fonterra in Asia related to infant health?
Ms Le Quesne: Understanding the needs of mother and their families in Asia has been a focus for Fonterra in Asia and is the main driver behind our Anmum brand.

Child acting is a tenuous thing. It's difficult to tell when actors are very young whether or not they've actually got talent, and sometimes, being exposed to the Hollywood life at an early age can do weird things to a person. But for every one that implodes (I'm looking at you, Lindsay Lohan) or falls into obscurity (Jake Lloyd, much?), there's also one that manages to make the transition from child to adult actor. It's not always seamless, and sometimes there are demons to fight; but a lot of them do come out just fine on the other side. Here are 16 of our favorites.

I thought last night's episode was okay, but I enjoyed the Kevin/Andy plotline much more than Michael's. I didn't find Michael's shallowness to be all that funny this time around. He just seemed like a creepy stalker while talking about the chair model. But I loved Kevin and Andy calling together "the five families".

I *heart* Jim and Pam. They are a nice balance to the cartooniness of Dwight and Michael. Phyllis rocks my world!!!
The dinner party episode was the best 30 minutes in television... EVER.
Overall, I thought this episode was pretty solid.
- I enjoyed Andy and Kevin and the Godfather style meeting of the five families. I also didn't expect the more dramatic part with Kevin talking briefly about Stacey and how it was "good to win one." That caught me off guard as it was touching and sweet.
- Jim and Pam were also great. Question though: why in the hell does Jim just carry around an engagement ring with him? Seems kinda odd. And like everybody else, I was also pretty much on the edge of my seat and i thought it was great how Jim was messin' with her. I do hope he waits a bit to propose though.
- Michael was pretty funny tonight too, but i thought it was just silly how him and Dwight went to visit that girls grave. That was just goofy. Probably my only complaint about the episode actually.
Overall though, I enjoyed the episode.
"Woke up at 9.55am. Soon as I woke up, I looked at Suzanne and she looked at me. I said, 'Did I tell you about the immune system?' Suzanne starting laughing, I said, 'it's amazing.' She said, 'Not now.'"
I enjoyed the episode as well, for the most part.
"That's the best deal you're gonna get. I won't tell you you can save yourself, because you can't."
Last night's episode was great. It's the first episode I really enjoyed since it returned. As soon as Ryan looked so happy to see Michael and Dwight at the club, I instantly thought, "he's a cokehead". Surprise, surprise, huh? I was rolling when Dwight was calling Ryan's friend a hobbit, though. And more power to him for hooking up with that basketball player. I have to say, as strange of a guy as Toby is, I probably would have jumped the fence too after pulling that stunt.
Quote of the episode? Pam: There is a spare key, and a master key for the office. Dwight has them both. When I asked 'What if you die, Dwight, how will we get into the office?', he said 'If I'm dead, you guys have been dead for weeks'.

I have really liked all the new episodes since it came back on. Yesterday was another good one, especially Tody jumping the fence.
Going back a bit: "Pam said when she gets Michaels old chair I can have her old one. Then Ill have two. Only one to go...."
You'll be dead!

I liked the episode in many ways but Ryan has been wasted, I think...they could write him out of the show now that he's gone and I wouldn't miss him.
Hopefully they'll get out of these storylines and demote him back to Scranton.
I thought the episode was pretty solid.
Man, that sequence with Toby was just hysterical. I don't know if he was making up the talks about Costa Rica or where ever, but perhaps this is a possibility of the spin off? Could be interesting. I like Toby.
The show has made a pretty strong return when compared to that dreck that aired before the strike. Told ya some good could come out of that situation.
"That's the best deal you're gonna get. I won't tell you you can save yourself, because you can't."

apologies! thought about leaving it out. Thought the tweet setup gave a little insight to what it was about though and some might want that. Damn you pay sites!!! ;)
In all seriousness, he is still a very high priority for a&m. We are expecting a visit from him and his mom before the end of spring ball. It will be an all day just for him kind of thing. Of course everybody knows lsu is in the best shape but I think we've got a better shot than texas.
aTm already has 2 very highly rated safeties. BTW, how many schollies does aTm have since they (over)signed 30+ players last year. I doubt they take 3 safeties...
