Thats not so hard to beleive is it? I have 37 out of 40. I just haven't seen the latest 3 yet. I'd bet Indiana does, he seems to have real good luck
If you want to find it you have to shop.
yes, probably 1 day before you. I didn't need a friend to pick up my Chewie and Obi.
I do not see this forum as a bragging post. I try to only report items I see when I don't already see them here. I see this forum as a way to communicate to other collectors where they may be able to find items they are looking for, NOT to brag to others that Nan, nan, I got it all and you don't. Sometimes Kidd, that seems exactly what you are doing. You were very lucky to find the 40. I'm very happy for you. No need to show it off and tell others to get out there and start hunting. People have jobs and other time restraints and responsibilities. Very few people have tons of free time to run around looking for stuff all the time. Most people MAY be able to hit a Wal-Mart before work or a Target on the way home and take months to find something. Most people do not have friends at Target who will "hold" all the Unleashed figures for them. Star Wars collecting is a hobby, not a way of life.
My Wal-Mart this morning got in a few more cases of the Djas and Palpatine this morning. Others probably did as well.
im not braging but if someone wants something bad enough they should go out and look for it and the part about you saing(not everyone has friens at target to hold the unleashed figures for them)first of all it was toys r us not target and second of are you complaining because you dont have a friend who looks out for you? well thats your problem.And the part about you not needing anyones help on anything thats a lie cause iseem to remmember a couple of moths ago you needed the bomber and snow speeder and were begging bucarroo to meet you somewhere with them so u could buy them from him.Are you trying to insinuate that i dont have a job?Because for your information i probably work harder than alot of other people. thats just my 2 cents

hey kidd is nice enough to sell me a han solo endor raid for cost. maybe he is just excited to have found all 40. i have only found 37 and i hit 3-4 stores daily. these last three seem to be very hard to find. if you want to find the stuff you have to look.
I know I stated that I tend to not find as much during casual hunting. I also stated that I usually get stuff online anyway.
Even if I had a lot of free time, I would not want to spend 1-2 hours a day on gas and time to look for stuff that can be had pretty easily from online vendors either at the same time or before it hits retail in decent numbers. The few bucks more a figure is easily worth it, considering gas prices are already going over 1.65 a gallon. I don't miss the hunt at all.
And I also have all 40-this really is no great feat. A month ago it would have been.
Also, I had the Bespin Luke wave and Dooku/Yoda wave on 4/22, as well as all previous waves weeks before. I just felt like getting them a little sooner. Again, I don't feel special, because it wasn't difficult to do.
I admit it's fun to walk into a store and find what you're looking for, but it started becoming more and more unlikely to find what you want after the Panaka wave for E1.
I'll take online any day.
KIDD...don't know where you get your info, but I was one of the few lucky enough to find the Speeder before the 23rd and the Bomber on the 23rd. I NEVER asked anyone to meet me anywhere to buy them, or any other item.
I do have friends at stores, probably more than you since I have been doing this longer. I just don't brag about it and I have never cleaned a store out of new stuff.
I didn't insinuate anything about you working. Quite frankly I don't give a damn what you do. My "problem" is I believe these forums are for information to help others find new stuff, NOT bragging that I got it all before others or who I know at what stores. I am not the last say here, and if that is what this forum becomes, fine, I'll leave.
OK, you know, these are just toys. It's not worth it to me to get in an argument with anyone about it. KIDD, fine, sorry if I offended you. Your a good hunter, find stuff early, and should have some room for bragging rights. You should just realize that most of us don't have that chance. You also seem nice enough to share your finds with others who are looking, that's a good thing.
Found the Acklay and Deluxe Anakin at Target on Dundee in Palatine last night. Got the last ones, but they should get more today. I also wanted to add my $.02...like Indiana said, they are just toys
they are not just toys they are star wars action figures!!!!
and how can u say you have been doing this longer than me you dont even know how old i am! but anyway im not in the mood to argue i just wont help anyone out anymore because i dont want to get stereo tiped as a (bragger)

By Parrish Alford/NEMS Daily Journal
OXFORD – For Ole Miss, a continued fall through the SEC standings was softened a bit by one detail in Sunday's 7-6 11-inning loss to Vanderbilt.
The Rebels felt like they played better.
Ole Miss was swept at home for the first time since losing three to Auburn at the end of the 2010 season, and its losing streak reached five games, but coach Mike Bianco saw progress in a ninth-inning rally that stretched the game.
"Today we played much better, and I think there's more in the tank," Bianco said. "Certainly we can pitch better, play better defense, but today was more the team that played the first five weeks. We played hard."
Vanderbilt had 17 hits to nine for Ole Miss (23-9, 4-8 SEC).
Turner starts it
Stuart Turner was 4-for-5 and started the ninth inning with a base hit. Andrew Mistone, the five-hole hitter, immediately followed suit, and the Rebels had something going against Brian Miller.
The Commodores' (29-4, 11-1) closer with a side-arm deliver had not allowed a run in SEC play but gave up two in the ninth, both earned. They touched home when Preston Overbey's ground ball scored Turner and when Tanner Mathis was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded.
Turner was a central figure in the 11th inning also in an unfortunate manner. When a Brett Huber pitch got a few feet away from him, Vanderbilt's Connor Harrell had a good jump to third base. Turner rushed his throw. It got past Mistone and into left field, and Harrell scored easily.
Harrell reached base with one out when his ground ball hit third base and got past Mistone.
"It was frustration on my part," Turner said. "The ball kicked away from me, and I should have eaten it. I didn't, and it bit me."
A timely double from Will Allen and three successful bunts helped the Rebels push across three runs over the first two innings and take a 3-1 lead.
Between the second and ninth innings, however, there were missed opportunities much like Games 1 and 2.
Ole Miss stranded 14 runners and ended the fifth and seventh innings with runners at second and third base, the eighth inning with runners at the corners.
Turner had an RBI single in the fifth.

I want to say a note of thanks to Clark for helping me out some much last year before turkey season, both on forums and in e-mail. I'm no patterning expert, but my gun shoots decent thanks to the help from Clark and others.
I shoot a 26" barrel Benelli M2 with a Truglo Strut Stopper Xtreme and recently patterned about 30 shots of various loads and could use some feedback, maybe 'cause I like to tinker. I also got a great deal on a Pure Gold choke that's on the way, and I'm wanting to try some Hevishot. Any advice on what load of Hevishot may work best? Thinking of maybe the 3", 1 5/8oz #5? Or maybe a particular Win XR would be good? I suppose it's a "loaded" question and every combo is different, just looking for one or two to try.
BTW, my patterning was not extensive as only two shots per load were tried, but I had a ton of shell combos to try plus an AnglePort .650 choke that I already had (it didn't do quite as well as the SSX on most shells). Like last year, my best lead shell is the Win Supreme HV #6 1 3/4oz (black shell). At 40 yards on an HS Strut turkey head I got hits of 52 and 39 in the head/neck. The Win Supreme XX #6 2oz (red shell) and Federal #6 did ok with an avg of mid 30's, but so did the Win SuperX #5 1 7/8oz (gray box) with a 33.5 avg. I cleaned the barrel before testing and did a fuzzy rod after every 2 shots. I'm sure my scores will improve once I tweak the Williams Fire Sights as I haven't put that to the 30" paper yet.
If it helps anyone else, shells that didn't fare so well for me with this SSX/M2 combo were the Remington Nitro #6, the Kent Diamondshot #5, the Win Supreme XX #5, and Win SuperX #4, all low to mid 20's for average.
I realize I have to start over if trying the Pure Gold, but any advice is welcome!

I'm doing some very boring work to cleanup epiphany mozilla inclusions and separate public api, private api, api incompatible with embed string. We are actually doing better than I thought. We are not using that much private stuff and incompatibility with embed strings looks fixable. I think this will help me figuring out stuff we need to fix in mozilla SDK.
Got approval for another Mozilla SDK bug. I have not been able to get someone to check it in so far though :/ Mozilla patch lifecycle is somewhat bloaty. I need to bug 4 different people (r, sr, a, checkin) to get a patch in. Oh well I guess at some point I'll be a mozilla guru and I'll get a cvs account ;)
This really need to be fixed. You cant have to go through 3 different private interfaces to be able to attach mouse event listeners.
Argh, need to go to civil service now, I'm late as usual ...

What's in the box: Pair of Finis Positive Drive Swim Fins
Finis Positive Drive Swim Fins, Yellow/Black.
The Finis Positive Drive Swim Fins, Yellow/Black design use a unique ellipsoidal blade to achieve the correct propulsion in all swim strokes. Fins are usually not made for breaststroke, but in this case, the asymmetrical shape and adjustable heel strap of the PDF s, allows the swimmer to safely build power in the breaststroke kick. The distinctive short and wide blade design boosts a natural inward supination kick style for backstroke, butterfly, and freestyle. The Finis Positive Drive Swim Fins, Yellow/Black uses a stylized ergonomic foot pocket to comfortably place the feet in the optimal swimming position. And to secure the fin to the right fit, the heel strap is adjustable, allowing the feet to flex more naturally with a closed-toe construction providing a superior energy transfer from the leg to the foot. The PDF's are great for all four competitive swim strokes, making these a good choice for training.
This product has a limited warranty of 1 month.

BAD Pts Need: R5-C7 lf leg (x2), , R4-P44 right leg BAD Pts Offered For Trade: PM me - I have lots of parts now including BG-J38!. New Kyle Katarn is also available.
Saw the leftover Biggs pilot and Han Gunner at LaBrea Target at 8:45 this morning. With the even case assortment, those should be easy to find soon, once TAC hits in full force. Didn't have time to stash, had to buy work stuff before 9am. Did pick up a few nifty dollar Star Wars ballpoint pens at Target NOHO later that morning.
Will NOHO ever get any new figures? The Lushros army seems to grow every day!
Decided to hit NOHO target today. Yes, no signs of TAC and the Lushros army is still there leaving no space for new stuff. Saw good ol' headphones and Hootie. I don't think I'm going back to that target in a while.
I went to Burbank Target afterwards and saw a ton of Order66 packs by the registers (arond 6 sets). There were also 2 Tac Hans and a rebel Honor Guard. I think I saw toon's car but I didn't see him inside. Probably doin' some stashing at another section of the store.
Found a second McStormy at the DeSoto Target yesterday. They just replenished the pegs at around 5:00 pm. They had a few of the Order 66 packs by the registers. The little red scanner indicated more TAC figures in the storeroom.
I WAS at Burbank Target... probably on the other side of the store getting soup
Got there in time to see the doors open, but only Plumber Bob was grabbing TAC figures (the other guy similar to Headphones' outfit of jacket & backpack was there rifling through the TSCs only, it seemed). I grabbed an Honor Guard, then Bob spun around and pushed his Honor Guard and Concept Fett into my hands! Weird! He told me later by the Order 66 sets that he's trying to cut back, so maybe that'll work out for us. I put one Honor Guard back, picked up the other & Fett, as well as the Anakin/Airborne and Mace/Marine sets (Anakin for me, Mace for g/f's son) and after stashing some other Order 66s I found another Ilum pack freshly placed on the clearance endcap, so got that for the boy, too.
Turbo, PM sent for the Order 66
Hit Eagle Rock Target this morning. Had a Hot Wheels/scalper in front of me poke his head into the Hot Wheels aisle, see nothing new and then dash to the Star Wars figures. There were only 4 TAC figures on the pegs. Obi Wan, Airborne Trooper, Concept Stormtrooper and Concept Boba Fett. He grabbed everything (except Obi Wan) including the Concept Stormtrooper I had my hand on. He was nice enough to give me the Boba Fett, thinking that wasn't the "hot" figure.
It's weird that the only new figure was Concept Fett.
Eagle Rock Target has their Order 66 packs by the registers downstairs. They had plenty of ObiWan/AT-RT packs and a few of the others.
La Cienaga/Rodeo Target had nothing this morning, Target on Jefferson had the next wave of unleashed and a mixture of Saga figures from wave 2 to wave 9. It looked like a cobb salad of star wars toys.
Picked up the unleashed wave.

Roseola Infantum
Hi there!
How can you initially differentiate the manifestation of dengue from roseola infantum?
My oldest son had high fever on and off then suddenly rashes started coming out on his face and arms.
At first, I thought it was dengue because that is the usual symptoms and we have to get him to the hospital when rashes started.
The doctor ordered some lab works but it was negative and found out that it is roseola infantum.
Can anyone give me some inputs how to deal with it? And help me see and differentiate it.
I don't want to be over-reacting for my 1-year old son as what I did for my 2-year old. Although at times or should I say most of the time, mothers can't help it.
Because, kids are different from each other, right?
6th April 2012 01:53 AM #2
I think it is perfectly reasonable to take your child to the hospital to have tests to confirm what the cause of their symptoms are. I wouldn't worry about over-reacting in this sense. It's better to be totally sure. I agree with you: it's the way us mums are!
My understanding is that Dengue fever and Roseola do have some common symptoms - another reason why I would take your child to the hospital if they ever display such symptoms. With both the patient gets a very high temperature and a rash. However, if the rash starts on the face it is more likely to be Roseola (you can get a rash on the face with Dengue fever but it tends to start on the trunk of the body). Also, with Roseola the rash looks like fine, pink spots.
With children who are suffering from Dengue fever they may only exhibit a rash and a high temperature (and not the adult symptoms such as diarrhoea and joint pain). As Dengue fever can be so serious I would get any child checked out urgently who displays these symptoms and has been in a Dengue fever infected area.
I hope this helps. As I said before, I'm not a doctor and it's always best to consult with a doctor when you are worried about your child. However, I have worked in the health profession for 5 years and so this is my experience.
Best wishes,
6th April 2012 08:01 AM #3
I found that my children actually had Roseola at the same age (not at the same time, but at the same age). Roseola usually affects children between the ages of 6 months and 2 years (I think that both of my first two children had Roseola around 9 months of age and I don't think the other three got it).
This page has some good information on Roseola.
Laura-Jane definitely gave some good advice. Being that I don't live in an area where Dengue Fever is prevalent, I haven't personally experienced it with any of my children. Always better to be safe than sorry, and if a few tests would rule it out I'd probably opt for the tests.
Warm regards,

Hi there!
Thanks for the reply.
Just a follow-up question, is there something we can do about the rashes? I remember not putting any cream on him (my oldest son) but can I? or even just a baby powder? I can't help it but my husband suggests not to put anything.
9th April 2012 09:04 AM #5
Unlike many other rashes that children get, the rash associated with Roseola is not itchy. It just looks like it would bother the child, but it really doesn't so no need to put anything on it. I'd suggest avoiding powders or creams on the skin because the skin absorbs the toxins in these substances and it could make it harder on the immune system to fight the disease. If your child's skin needs a moisturizer you can use olive oil or almond oil or even coconut oil. If the child's skin needs powder (like if you want to put powder on their bottom after a diaper change) using a pure substance like corn starch or arrow root powder works well.
Warm regards,

Hi Kate,
Thank you for the suggestions. I will keep it in mind.
In regards with powder, I buy the commercial baby powder and I just put some cornstarch in it. Usually, when you buy a bottle of powder it is just half-filled so I buy cornstarch and mix them together.
13th April 2012 12:50 PM #7
What a clever idea! I hadn't thought of mixing the two but that helps to make it stretch!

RFK Jr as the environmental secretary! Wow!!!!
"Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage." - Anais Nin
Well Joe, to be an advisor to a man whose governing experience consists of community activism and preening in front of the camera, you'd think he'd pick people who might actually have experience. That list makes it look like anyone with enough money can buy a Cabinet position. Wondering which position Oprah bought regards....
The Cabinet includes the Vice President and the heads of 15 executive departments-the Secretaries of Agriculture, Commerce, Defense, Education, Energy, Health and Human Services, Homeland Security, Housing and Urban Development, Interior, Labor, State, Transportation, Treasury, and Veterans Affairs, and the Attorney General.
Under President George W. Bush, Cabinet-level rank also has been accorded to the Administrator, Environmental Protection Agency; Director, Office of Management and Budget; the Director, National Drug Control Policy; and the U.S. Trade Representative.
Who said anything about anyone buying a Cabinet position?
Which person on Bob's list is not qualified for a position and is therefore trying to buy a Cabinet position?
Again, based on the list that Bob supplied, what disqualifies Caroline Kennedy from being Ambassador to the United Nations which IS NOT a Cabinet position?
Help Me Better Understand Regards,
Joe S.
"Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage." - Anais Nin
This is why it is still possible appointments. Last I heard he had just appointed one person. This is just a list that anyone could throw out there. More scare tactics like usual from the right.
Never take things for granted.

Other than he is a democrat and a Kennedy, what, exactly, is it that you don't like about him?
Kind Regards,

"Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage." - Anais Nin
She has a law degree, which qualifies one to do nothing save practice law. No indication of any education or experience in diplomacy. If you want to give someone a diplomatic appointment that has no experience, then you appoint them to a nice non controversial job with an allied nation(In her case Ireland or The Vatican would be befitting) but not to a job like the UN. That agency is already basically anti-US, we need a professional diplomat there who knows how to stick up for American interests.
I suppose Joe for Oil who has been a total syncophant for Hugo Chavez and shills for his cheap oil will be in line for Ambassador to Venezula

Clark has to rescue Lana in her pickup truck which has been carried off into a massive tornado!
Are his powers going to be revealed?
Johnathon took off into the tornado to stop (kill?) the reporter who could expose his son as an alien (the jerk that blew up the Kent's truck).
Lionell Luthor fired everyone in Smallville's plant and Lex is trying to get his employees to buy out his father's stock. But Lionell bought the Smallville bank!
Chloe's dad lost his job, and unless Lex can save them from his father's wrath, they'll have to leave town and look for work in Metropolis.
If Clark chooses Lana over Chloe, she'll never speak to him again.
Lana could be single now though, as Whitney left the show (as a regular) to go and join the Marine Corps so he could make her proud and have a job so he could marry her after she finishes High School.
Everything could come together for Clark getting his best opportunities he always wanted, or everything in Smallville could be torn apart! There's more than 1 tornado

Prior to the popularity of Animal Collective, indie-rock fans long denied any genetic relationship to the types of bands (i.e., the Grateful Dead) you had to see live to get the "real" experience. But Toronto's Broken Social Scene — who come to the House of Blues next Friday — have just the kind of fans who live by the candlelight of their concerts and know every word to every song. And short of having their own collective noun ("Brokies?" "Socialites?"), these fans are raving mad in love with the various Canadian boys (and sometimes girls, including Feist) who move in and out of the large extended family that is Broken Social Scene.
"I think we probably give more than other bands," says bassist and founding member Brendan Canning over the phone from Toronto. And he's right — in the process of making sure that no two shows sound the same, Broken Social Scene do let the rope go more than a little bit. A couple of years ago, they played a show in Mexico City where they invited a mariachi band to play on stage with their horn players. At the end of the night, the mariachis led both band and audience in a drunken refrain of "Cielito lindo" ("Ay, ay, ay, ay/Canta y no llores . . . ").
"I think it would be terribly boring if you were in a conventional band where you were just like, 'Here is my song and here is my guitar part,' " says Canning, whom you could call the measured and objective force in the group's consciousness. But he isn't suggesting stoned stupors or wanky jerkathons, either. Broken Social Scene could easily cop note-for-note perfection if they wanted to. Instead, the collective of musicians choose to apply a more free-form, poetic set of rules in order to keep their music from becoming mechanical — sometimes pushing things too far even from singer Kevin Drew's comfort zone. "Kevin gets a little frustrated sometimes, because everyone really just goes purely on the feel of the night as to what might go down." says Canning. "Sometimes these experiments can go south if you're not careful. But at the same time, it is part of what makes this band unique and really fun and exciting and keeps people coming back."
After a five-year gap between proper releases, Broken Social Scene issued their fourth album this past May, the John McEntire–produced Forgiveness Rock Record (Arts & Crafts), which absorbs much of the live warmth and shimmering incandescence of 2005's Broken Social Scene and converts it into a digitally buzzing, fuzzy, rattling halogen lamp of an album — one that calls to mind recent polished art-rock albums like Dirty Projectors' Bitte Orca and Wilco's A Ghost Is Born.

Assignment: Education-Unlicensed Teachers
Lisa Klein: Governor Scott Walker campaigned under the idea that he was going to bring change to the state. Part of those campaign promises include how, in his words, he plans to make Wisconsin's education system world class. Recruiting great teachers is a part of that plan.
But his idea of allowing people without a teaching license to teach our kids is raising some concerns among educators.105438
Gerry Roethel, Executive Director for Coulee Region United Educators: "Teaching isn't standing in front of a classroom and talking to them. That isn't how it is done today."
Lisa Klein: Governor Walker's hope is to give aspiring teachers with real-world experience the opportunity to lead our classrooms.
Governor Scott Walker: "Someone who maybe ran a business for 20 years might want to come in and teach economics in the high school and this would give them a path to do that."
Lisa Klein: But the executive director of Coulee Region United Educators says while a person may be an expert in their field that doesn't mean they can teach.
Gerry Roethel: "It's wonderful to be knowledgeable about economics or English or whatever, but it's delivering that knowledge. Conveying that knowledge. Setting up situations where students can learn from the teacher, from each other, collectively, collaboratively."
Lisa Klein: But the Governor says his proposal wouldn't allow just anyone to stand up in front of our kids and teach.
Governor Scott Walker: "It would still require that they had some sort of credentials in terms of education and expertise from the school, but it just wouldn't force people who've got real-world experience in a given category to be forced to go back and get a 4-year education degree."
Lisa Klein: What those credentials are exactly are still being worked out at the state capital. And the fear of the unknown is worry some for some educators.
Gerry Roethel: "If that means a one-semester, three-hour class on student learning, that's not going to be sufficient, I don't think."
Gerry Roethel: "I don't think we need to provide short cuts. Our children need the best and brightest, well trained, ready-to-go, first day in fall."
Lisa Klein: And Roethel doesn't understand why changes to the current licensing rules in Wisconsin is being used as a recruitment tool.
Gerry Roethel: I hear from superintendents that we have lots of applicants when we have openings. So, if we have applicants when we have openings why are we having this conversation, really?"
Lisa Klein: The Governor says more details about his future plans for education will be released soon.
Governor Scott Walker: "They're debating it now and the bill is a month or two away from being introduced. So, we'll have plenty of public discussion on that then."
Lisa Klein: And when that discussion happens, Roethel wants area legislators to know this...
Gerry Roethel: "We have a law in this state, PI 34, that provides a system for licensing folks in order to teach in this state. It's working. I think this is a solution looking for a problem. That's not where we're at."

Improve Your Finances with Consumer Credit Counseling
Like many Americans, you may have high credit card debt. This situation is not unusual, so you don't have to feel ashamed of it. There is help out there, and it's called credit management.
You credit situation is very important to many aspects of your life. If future employers ask to do a credit check before you can qualify for a new job, a low credit score could prevent you from gaining the position. When you apply to rent an apartment, the manager will also do a credit check. If the report shows that you have several negative entries, it may be difficult to find someone who will agree to rent to you.
The Point of Credit Management
You could benefit from credit management if you fit into the description above. You may have heard that you can obtain a free credit report every year from each of the three major credit bureaus, but you may not know what you need to do with these reports. Your counselor will start by showing you how to obtain these reports.
After you get your credit reports, you also need to know how to read them. A consumer credit counseling plan from a place like CreditGuard is instrumental in helping people understand what is written in these documents. There may be errors that are driving your scores down. Once you learn whether or not this is the case, your counselor can help you correct them.
Learning What Your Rights Are
The credit industry is regulated by the government, and there are laws that protect you and your rights. If you are having a problem in any area and someone is violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act, your counselor can inform you of this fact and help you ensure that others are reporting the correct information about you.
Discovering How to Increase Your Credit Scores
Entering into consumer credit counseling is one way you can learn how to improve your credit score. Your counselor will help you set up a budget that allows you to establish a good payment history. With this accomplished, your credit scores will begin to rise.

Minnesota hunters kill fewer wild turkeys this season

Russ Peterson of Shakopee killed this wild turkey with a bow and arrow May 17 on private land in Mille Lacs County. To read Peterson's story of the hunt, go to blogs.TwinCities.com/outdoors. (Photo courtesy Russ Peterson)
Minnesota wild turkey hunters are a dedicated bunch.
For a sport that, nationally, is known as a great way to get out and appreciate spring, Minnesota hunters were greeted with snow, followed by more snow, then wind and cold rain.
The weather didn't warm up until the latter part of the season that runs from April 17 to May 30. So it's not surprising that hunters killed fewer turkeys this spring than in most of the past several years.
What was surprising -- or perhaps impressive -- was that the 10,381 turkeys taken was the fifth-highest harvest on record, and it was more than the take in 2011, a year also characterized by a cold spring.
The high-water mark for Minnesota was 2010, when 13,467 turkeys were killed. The 2013 spring harvest was nearly 8 percent lower than in 2012.
"I think if we would have had reasonable weather, we could have well exceeded what we did last year," said Steve Merchant, wildlife population and regulation program manager for the Department of Natural Resources. "I was pleased that it ended up where it did."
There are a number of theories for why hunters were relatively successful, but all are speculation.
In recent years, the birds have filled in nearly every pocket of the state where their habitat exists, all the way from the southeastern corner, where they were reintroduced decades ago, to the northwest corner along the Canadian border. (They don't live in the pine forests of northeastern Minnesota.)
As the birds have expanded, they've provided more hunters more opportunities, one theory holds.
In addition, as more Minnesotans have taken up the sport -- in which success is rarely higher than 50 percent and often closer to 25 percent -- hunters have gotten better, according to another theory.
"I think both those are probably part of the reason," Merchant said.
The DNR also has made purchasing a license easier, and changes in the past few years have meant that anyone wanting a license can get one, regardless of whether they were successful in a lottery for limited early-season tags.
At turkey hunting clinics, instructors often dispute the long-held belief that the best time to hunt a gobbler is at the beginning of the season. Combine that rethink with a licensing structure that allows hunters to wait longer before buying a license.
"I heard anecdotally that some hunters were waiting for the weather before deciding which (part of the) season to hunt," Merchant said. Indeed, DNR data show license sales for the snowy opening days of the season, known as the "A Season," were down.
In Wisconsin, hunters killed 37,804 turkeys, 11 percent fewer than the previous spring. Wisconsin officials also figured the weather was the main reason.

Before we talk with today's author, I want to announce that the winner of the signed copy of Dawn Comes Early, by Margaret Brownley, is:
misskallie2000@ . . .
Congratulations! I'll contact you today for your snail mail address, and we'll get your book to you right away. I encourage readers to keep commenting and/or subscribe at right (above my list of books) in order to participate in future book give-aways!
Now let's visit with R. J. Larson, author of Prophet (Bethany House Publishers, April 2012).
R. J. Larson is the author of numerous devotionals featured in publications such as Women's Devotional Bible and Seasons of a Woman's Heart. She lives in Colorado Springs, Colorado, with her husband and their two sons. Prophet marks her debut in the fantasy genre.
Please tell us five random things we might not know about you.
--Hm. Well, I learned to read at age five on an island in the Pacific in a school with no electricity or doors.
--My father's unofficial job title was "Keeper of the Dragon." (Does this make me the daughter of a dragonkeeper? I hope so!)
--I'm legally blind without my contact lenses.
--I love to make yeast bread from scratch.
--I'm routinely (sadly) rejected for jury duty because I was—in two separate incidents— robbed and later threatened by law enforcement. (Yes, the officer who threatened me was removed from service. I think of him and pray for him.) That's five, right? I'm rotten with numbers! Sorry. That might be six…
Those were some doozies, R.J.! Thanks for those.
Please tell us a bit more about the plot of Prophet.
Prophet was inspired by stories of Old Testament prophets, such as Jeremiah and Ezekiel—with a fantasy-realm twist.
The main character of Prophet is a young woman, Ela, who is so in love with the Lord, the Infinite, that she will endure anything for the joy and privilege of hearing His voice. To serve Him, she leaves most of her family and travels to distant lands to proclaim the Infinite's warnings and His eternal love for all mortals.
However, her resolutions to serve Him and risk death as the Infinite's prophet are severely tested when she falls in love with a mortal, a young ambassador, Kien Lantec. As Ela and Kien are matching wits and falling in love, they battle myriad enemies along the way—tyrant-kings, assassins, the immortal Adversary, monstrous beasts, and their own weaknesses.
What is it about Ela that will make your readers care about her?
Ela knows she isn't perfect, but she loves her Creator and struggles through repeated failures to follow Him, and to warn and help others.
If you were the casting director for the film version of your novel, who would play your lead roles?
For Ela, an Alyssa Bernal type with curls:
For Kien, the nearest image would be Henry Cavill. Kien has a tremendous sense of humor, dark hair, and light eyes that are difficult to depict—dear reader, your imagination will portray Kien more accurately!
Please share with us one quote that either inspires you or simply amuses you as you go about your efforts as a writer.
I have no favorite saying. However, this one made me laugh, and it's on my Pinterest page: Synonym: A word used in place of the one you can't spell.
What is the last book you read that you would recommend?
Wow. I've just emerged from deadlines and haven't had much time to read. However, the published series I most recently finished is Lisa T. Bergren's River of Time Series, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The plotline is relentless—full of twists that kept me turning pages.
As for upcoming books, I'm eager to read Donita K. Paul's Realmwalker.
What are you working on now?
Right now, I'm taking a rest and waiting for edits on Judge and King. Beyond that...I'd love to return to my 1890's Victorian!
Where else can readers find you online?
Do you want the list, or just a few? I've just uploaded my new website with a map, sketches, and (soon) a character list. rjlarsonbooks.com
Facebook, of course. And Twitter.
I'm also on Pinterest—offering visual hints for books 2 and 3!
The book is available for online purchase through the following buttons:
Finally, what question would you like to ask my readers?
How have your book habits changed since the advent of e-readers?! (Kindle, Nook, Sony, etc?)
Thanks, R.J., for visiting with us and telling us about your novel. Readers, R.J. has offered to give a signed copy of her book to the winner of our drawing on Thursday, April 5. To enter, leave a comment below in answer to R.J.'s question, above. "Please enter me" won't get you entered. Leave your email address, in case you win, like so: trish[at]trishperry[dot]com.
And I'd love it if you'd connect with me on Facebook. Just click on my name at the right of today's post.

Upside-Down Sinners 1/29/2013
Director John Carpenter teams with Kurt Russell in this wonderfully unique spoof of the martial arts movie genre, and they hit on all cylinders in a film that is incredibly funny, surprisingly well-crafted, and just plain fun. Russell takes advantage of Gary Goldman and David Weinstein's script to deliver the best comic performance of his career as his swaggering trucker Jack Burton blunders through Chinatown in an attempt to recover his stolen truck and his friend's kidnapped fiancee.
Love it since childhood 8/26/2010A customer from Durham, NC
What's not to love. The mysticism, the over the top characters and action, the one liners, etc. One of my favorites.
Favorite line in this movie: "You were not brought upon this world to GET IT, Mr. Burton!"


text: SON OF THE SUN: as related by Thor Heyerdahl, the writer who made the raft and saile dit from Peru to soem Polynesian islands in the late 1940s, Kon-Tiki was the name of either a Peruvian or Polynesian creator/god. His name translates as "son of the sun," meaning being a descendant of the sun itself. With Lucas coming up with that "Son of the Suns" aspect to the Journal of the Whills idea he had, perhaps that was its origin.

"FOR lo! the winter is past; the rain is over and gone; the flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing birds is come; and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land."
"Thank Him that you live!" says Dolly, from the table where she is turning over the pages of Le Follet, "do you? well then I must say that you are thankful for small favours. Life in an old barrack, with no present income, and no future prospects, hardly seems to me a theme for Hallelujahs; for weeping and gnashing of teeth rather."
"I would not gnash my teeth if I were you, Dolly!" say I, with sarcasm, which page: 184 is a weapon I but seldom use, as it mostly cuts my own fingers when I lay hold of it, "or you may break them, and that would seriously diminish your value in the market."
"Market, indeed!" echoes Dolly, interrupting herself in the perusal of a toilette de promenade. "This little pig does not go to market, and very sorry she is for it too; she might have all her teeth drawn and knocked out, or gnashed out, and nobody would be the wiser. Alas! alas! there are no pig dealers in this Sahara."
"Why on earth do you come back to this Sahara, that you are always sneering at? who asks you? who wants you?" inquire I in a rage, withdrawing my head from between the bars, and grazing my ears.
"One must come home now and then," replies Dolly, quietly she never gets into a rage; she thinks it rôturier, "or else people would say that one had been turned out of doors for misconduct, or that one's papa was in gaol, or that one emanated from the Foundling, or something equally distressing."page: 185
"As for palaces," says Dolly, closing Le Follet, "they have not been much in my line; except the Bishop's, indeed, when we go to propagate the gospel, or the negroes, or something there; and as for pleasures, one has to forage for one's own little bit of amusement certainly; but I quite agree with you as to there being no place like home, not the least like; for utter destitution of paint, and decent cookery, and hot water pipes, and all the appliances of modern civilization, this baronial residence is undoubtedly unique." Blasphemy, flat blasphemy, wasn't it?
"You," say I, drawing myself up to my five foot six inches, and sputtering in my desire to get out my words fast enough, "you put paint, and good eating, (very scornfully), and hot water pipes above honour and glory, and Cressy and Agincourt and —, (my historical knowledge exhausts itself here), and all that sort of thing; I don't!"page: 186
Dolly says, "Agincourt a fiddle!" a sentence, the construing of which will tax the acumen of the New Zealand commentator a couple of thousand years hence; to which remote period this immortal work will undoubtedly descend. "Agincourt a fiddle! Does the knowledge that one set of mouldy old men thrust at another mouldy old lot in the ribs with pikes four hundred years ago make me feel the draughts less, or you look less like a scare‐crow."
"By the tombs of my ancestors!" always seemed to me the weakest oath ever invented "by the tail of my dog," or "by the whiskers of my cat," would be to me every bit as impressive and binding. "You are not everybody," reply I, shortly, which though not much to the point, was undeniably true.
"I wonder now," pursues Dolly, speculatively, stretching out her arms lazily, and yawning—"dear! how sleepy this weather makes one—I wonder now whether that mighty man of valour, what's‐his‐name, that was here yesterday, I wonder whether he has any forbears."page: 187
"Oh yes, plenty," say I, hastily, whisking my face round for my sister's scrutiny; and then I reflect that I have spoken without authority, and that M'Gregor may be as innocent of a grandpapa as his friend Coxe, for all I know to the contrary.
"How do you know that?" asks Dolly, sceptically; "does he carry them about stuffed with him?"
I laugh explosively. "Not that I know of; no more do we, and yet we have them all the same; but—but M'Gregor is a good name you know, quite—quite historical."
"If you come to that so is Coxe; there were Cocks that strutted out of the Ark, and pecked and crowed on the top of Mount Ararat."
I lean my cheek, which is growing as red as the wattles of any cock that ever was hatched against the cold iron window‐bars to cool it, and say with diffidence, "But—but—Sir Walter Scott?"
"Oh, ho," says Dolly, drawing a deep inspiration, and shaping her pretty red page: 188 mouth into the form for a whistle, from which unfeminine phonetic exercise she however refrained. "Oh, ho! he's a Rob Roy, is he? a mighty freebooter? We must be looking after the cows and pigs, or he'll be making a raid upon them to prove his descent!"
"I don't know of course," say I, modestly, "any more than you; I only thought"—grasping the friendly bar spasmodically, "such an uncommon name, so pretty—" mumbling off into unintelligibility.
"He cannot be anybody much," pursues Dolly, disparagingly, taking up a pencil and beginning to scribble faces on a bit of paper, "or he would not be staying with the Coxes; the Coxes are working up, undeniably; as undeniably as we are working down, but they have not got up many rungs yet. I suppose they think that they will begin with decayed gentlemen, and hoist themselves up on their shoulders into the society of prosperous ones; rather sharp of them."
"Lord Frampton dines with the Coxes, and so does Sir Hugh Lancaster," cry I, eagerly; earnestly desiring that I had page: 189 Richard's letters patent of nobility in my pocket, to pull out and fling in triumph on the table, under Dolly's unbelieving nose.
"Pooh!" says Dolly, demolishing my poor little plea with one inflexion of her voice. "Sir Hugh is hail fellow well met with every pettifogging little attorney in Nantford, and Lord Frampton remembers that Parliaments are septennial, and would dine with old Nick, if he would give his second son a plumper; and besides dining is a different thing; that god‐like animal, man, is always governed by his stomach, don't you know that? And worthy Calico's Burgundy and made dishes are worth undergoing a little infra dig‐ness for; but this man is evidently on quite an ami de la maison footing."
There is a minute or two of silence, during which Dolly goes on making spirited little fancy sketches, with a black nibbed pencil; she is so handy with her fingers—and I sit biting my nails like giant Pope, and cudgelling my small brains for some remark of Dick's tending to prove that he was not on terms of intimacy with the page: 190 Coxes; that it was either business, or good nature, or convenience that had brought, and now kept him there; with all my cudgelling this was all I could cudgel out.
"He thinks them vulgar himself, Dolly, I'm sure: he said one day that Mrs. Coxe was too fond of the peerage."
"Did he?" replies Dolly; "how ill‐bred of him! A man must be rather low before he will go and stay weeks in a tradesman's family, and be tame cat about his house; but he must be lower still to abuse his hosts behind their backs to a perfect stranger; that does not sound like sang pur."
"The King can do no wrong," the old Divine Right Tories used to say. "Major M'Gregor can do no right," appears to be my sister's version.
"It was not abusing her," cry I, hotly, "to say that she was fond of the peerage, any more than it would be abusing you to say you were fond of dress, or society, or your own way, as you are; it was only stating a fact."
"I thought," says Miss Lestrange, very page: 191 calmly, "that you adduced that speech to prove that he was no great friend of the Coxes; if it was not intended for abuse it proves nothing."
The honeysuckles are thrusting themselves in so forwardly at the casement, sending their delicatest, divinest odour up my nostrils, which are inflated like Vivien's when Merlin called her ugly names, with "sharp breaths of anger." They are sad radicals those honeysuckles; they would do just as much for an old fish‐wife, they are saying all they can in their refined smell language to soothe me, and reconcile me to the humble locus standi of my lover. They are humble themselves; they twist their pale coronets to crown every hedge; they are flecked with the common summer dust, and plucked by little ragged children to stick in earthenware mugs in the dim cottage windows.
"Rob Roy is a new acquisition. He did not grace these wilds when last I was at home; he was still sporting among his native thistles, I suppose. Have you known him long?"
"Ye‐es; at least—I suppose—not very long."page: 192
"How long?
(How long, indeed! according to the almanack of the soul, a lifetime, longer than old Parr's, an Æon; according to the prosaic humdrum almanack of the pocket‐books, about a week or ten days.)
"I think—about a fortnight," I answer, slowly. My head is turned away, but I feel with some sixth sense that Dolly has suspended her art labours, and is looking at me, but I flatter myself, that with all her knowledge of physiognomy, she will be puzzled to extract much emotion from a washed‐out brown holland back, and a huge loose knot of bronze hair.
"Where was it?"
"In the churchyard," in a very low reluctant voice; it seems profaning the sanctity of that first blest interview to let in the garish day of Dolly's sneers upon it.
"What a cheerful rendezvous. Has old Iken's mantle, or rather spade, fallen upon Mr. M'Gregor; was the canny Scot turning an honest penny digging graves?"
"I wish he had been digging yours, and you were in it now," say I, but to myself. Moses was the meekest man upon earth, but it is my firm belief that he would have turned and rent either page: 194 Aaron or Miriam, if they had attempted to badger him in the way my sister was badgering me.
"Was it on a Sunday?"
"What took you to the churchyard, then?"
"My legs."
"Ah! how humorous! and if it is not an impertinent question, who introduced Sandy—is his name Sandy—to his Nell?"
"Ah, to be sure! No doubt a friend of the Coxes would dispense with such preliminaries. I suppose in calico circles such checks upon the graceful freedom of social intercourse are voted superfluous."
My angry passions are rising like well‐leavened bread; like a river after autumn rains; like quicksilver in fine weather.
"I suppose," says Dolly, leaning back her little snooded head among the sofa cushions, and surveying me from under the blue‐veined marvel of her white lids—"I suppose that like Artemus Ward and his Free Lover, you mutually ejaculated, page: 195 'You air my affinity,' and rushed into each other's arms."
The cup is full and brims over; the kettle has overboiled; the river has risen level with its banks, and is pouring madly over them.
"No!" say I, jumping off the window‐seat and stamping, "we did not; and if we had, we should not have asked your leave. You may rush into the arms of any man or devil in England, and the sooner the better! God knows I would not stop you. I'd push you on, though I should pity Satan himself if he got you, so stop your sneers at people whose shoe‐strings you are not worthy to tie!"
I had vague Scriptural ideas running in my head, you know, or I should have remembered that Dick was not in the habit of wearing shoes, and "whose shooting‐boots you are not worthy to unlace," would not have sounded half so withering. Dolly unbuttons her languid eyes, that look out of place anywhere but in a Seraglio, about the hundredth part of an inch. Being "threeped at," as the servants call it, is for her a new sensation.page: 196
"That'll do," she says, coldly, "it's too hot for scenes. Stamp a little harder on these worm‐eaten old boards, and you'll find yourself in the cellar, reclining in one of the empty wine‐bins."
The tornado of my wrath is moderating to a stiffish breeze, as, after having wrecked half‐a‐dozen vessels, and dismasted half‐a‐hundred, an equinoxial gale is content to fret and bluster itself into comparative peace; but in both cases the sea still seethes and works like must.
"I really thought," continues Dolly, gravely, having laid aside her mocking tone, "I really thought, Nell, that you could take a joke better; for you could hardly suppose that I meant really that a Lestrange would submit to any familiarity from a Coxian protégé. No, no; we do not hold our heads so high in the world as we did, but it will take two generations more to bring us down to that depth; that would be fulfilling the prophecy, 'they that were clad in scarlet embrace dunghills with a vengeance.'"
I hardly relish this bold trope, being moreover guiltily conscious of having page: 197 fulfilled the prophecy, and embraced the dunghill.
"No! no!" fanning herself gently with the advertisement sheet of the Times; "everything after its kind; like and like; Cocks and Hens, and Lestranges, and gentlemen; probably from the docile way in which that man trots about at Mrs. Coxe's apron strings, and fetches and carries for her, he must be engaged to Amaryllis; they are going to try and mix a little poor blue blood, if it is blue, which is open to question, with their own full bodied red."
"He would not touch Amaryllis with a pair of tongs," cry I, digging my nails deep into my pink palms and making them pinker still.
"H‐m," with a cynical motion of the shoulders, "hungry dogs eat dirty pudding, and Amaryllis' dot would go far towards re‐stocking the kail yard that I suppose he has somewhere in Auld Reekie."
"You see further into a milestone than most people, that's evident," I say, derisively.
"No, I don't; I only see what's under page: 198 my nose, and heaven forbid my setting up as a matchmaker; the vulgarest amusement a vacant mind can have; but, somehow, the world's pulse does not seem to beat in this remote corner; one has so little to think about that one is reduced to silly gossipy speculations about one's neighbour's concerns."
"I'd speculate something a little more probable while I was about it," is my indignant comment, and being unable to trust myself either to say, or retrain from saying more, I move towards the tall sombre door, and pass through it into the dim wide hall.

GM ponders how to replicate success of Camaro in redesign
General Motors is wrestling with development of the next-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
GM views the current car as a big success, and the automaker is cautiously taking steps to avoid — well, let's call it screwing up the redesigned Camaro. The car is due in the fall of 2015.
What's the issue? Well, there are several, says Al Oppenheiser, Camaro's chief engineer.
Weight reduction is one.
"We always get hammered for mass, and that's not going to be getting easier going forward" with the upcoming CAFE regulations, Oppenheiser said.
"Displacement, number of cylinders, all of these things you need to think about."
Then there's styling.
"This is a very successful car," he said during an interview this month at a Chevrolet press event. "In some ways it is actually going to be tougher" to create the redesigned car, which will be the Camaro's sixth generation.
"Do you make it look like a second-gen?" he said, refering to the 1970-1981 Camaro. Or "do you make it look like the first gen?" -- a reference to the 1967-1969 model.
Oppenheiser won't say which direction the team is leaning, but you can understand the concern.
Camaro held 42 percent of the rear-drive performance coupe market in 2011, composed of the Ford Mustang, Dodge Challenger and a recent newcomer, the Hyundai Genesis coupe.
Chevrolet sold 88,249 Camaros last year, followed by Mustang, 70,438, and the Challenger, 39,534.
Hyundai sold 32,998 Genesis vehicles last year, but that includes the coupe and the sedan. Hyundai does not release separate numbers; the Automotive News Data Center estimates coupe sales at around 40 percent of all Genesis sales, which would be 13,199 coupes.
This year the Camaro has nearly 40 percent of the market. Mustang sales are up, giving it about 35 percent share.
On the horizon is the redesigned Mustang, expected for the 2015 model, the car's 50th anniversary. Though Oppenheiser didn't mention it, the new Mustang has the potential to become the No. 1 player, surpassing Camaro.
Oppenheiser stays in close communication with Tom Peters, design director for GM's performance cars. Peters' group is designing the next Camaro.
"We talk with our teams about what would you do to top [the current Camaro] or not top it, at least make sure you don't lose what you have today."
Said Oppenheiser: "We always have to stay fresh and ahead. [But] we do not want to lose the fact that we have nearly 40 percent of the market."
