I vote for a "Pick 'Em Up Party" at JT's!
It's mission is twofold: we pick up and re-pose JT's collection, AND we pick up JT's morale.
Like many others have said, JT has done tons of stuff for all of us for the better part of a decade (or more! He's gone the extra mile for my son and me for years!). It's the least we can do for him!
I'm not afraid to unleash my shenanigans! I've got MabuCon2008 under my belt!

Randy Haddock stands on a muddy riverbank in central Alabama, looking over his favorite place on earth. Haddock, a slight, spectacled biologist with a trim beard, smiles as he hoists a canoe over his head, carries it to the water and launches it almost soundlessly into a calm stretch of the Cahaba River.
From This Story

Between brilliant-green margins of broad-leaved trees, the Cahaba flows from its headwaters near Springville through the suburbs of Birmingham and into the heart of the state. The river slips southward with barely a murmur, unnoticed by many who live nearby. But Haddock, who has plied it for 20 years, knows the Cahaba as one of the grandest places in North America.
Biological splendor is usually associated with faraway places and fabulous creatures, rain forest river basins or African elephants. The close-to-home grandeur of the Cahaba is more subtle, counted not in jaguars or monkeys but in snails and mussels. To those willing to look closely, though, the river is as fascinating as any jungle.
The Cahaba boasts the longest free-flowing stretch of river in Alabama—140 miles—and one of the longest in the Southeast. Biologists have found that it shelters more fish species per mile than any other river in the country. Its floral attractions range from a spectacularly showy lily to a low, unassuming prairie clover, one of several local plant species that, until recently, were entirely unknown to science.
"I keep seeing things I've never seen before, so I feel compelled to keep learning," says Haddock, as he dips his paddle in the water and sets off downstream. "The Cahaba is different every time."
This overcast spring morning, our quarry is big botanical game. The river stretches ahead of our canoes in a long, silent pool, a promising sign for our small group of lily hunters. "The bigger the pool, the bigger the shoal," Haddock says. Shoals—rocky bars that reach across the river—trap lily seeds as they tumble downstream and shelter them as they sprout.
The river bends, and Haddock hears water babbling ahead. Moments later, the lilies loom into view, their bushel-size bunches arrayed in rows, their papery, moon-faced flowers forming a frothy fence. Our group falls quiet. Some of us are seeing the lilies for the first time, some for the hundredth, but the sudden expanse of blooms silences even the veterans.
As our canoes float into the rocky shoal, the lilies seem to engulf us, the giant pale flowers reaching to our chins. Though the Cahaba lily, also known as the shoals spiderlily, once grew throughout the Southeast, it's now restricted to about 70 stands. A quarter of the stands are in the Cahaba River, and one of the densest and largest is found here. Their display is as fleeting as it is rare. The lilies begin to bloom on the Cahaba in May, with each flower opening in the evening and lasting but a single day. The entire spectacle is over by mid-June.
Botanists have praised the flower's beauty for centuries: "nothing in vegetable nature was more pleasing," wrote itinerant naturalist William Bartram, who explored the Southeast just before and during the American Revolution. But few had studied the flowers, and questions remained about their basic biology.
Haddock, trained as an ecologist, moved to Birmingham in 1988 for a medical-research job at the University of Alabama and volunteered to lead canoe tours for the Cahaba River Society in his spare time. Though no one knew exactly why the flowers opened at night, Haddock suspected a nocturnal pollinator and decided to test his hunch.

Have no fear, Earthlings. Jupiter is here to protect our little planet. In the early hours of September 10, an astronomer in Oregon spotted a bright flash of light on Jupiter. Astronomers believe this brilliant burst to be an asteroid hitting the giant planet. Scientists say that the asteroid may have been heading for Earth, but instead, Jupiter took the blow. And this may not be the first time Jupiter has saved Earth from a near collision.
Stellar Strength
Jupiter has the strongest gravitational pull of any planet. It is close to the asteroid belt—a region of irregular shaped rocks hurtling through space between Mars and Jupiter. These pieces of space matter are made mainly of rock and metal, leftover scraps from when the solar system formed.
The gravitational pull of Jupiter grabs passing asteroids and comets and pulls them to its surface—and away from Earth. The impacts are leading scientists to study possible scars from asteroids on Jupiter. Chances of actually hitting Earth are very unlikely, but scientists keep a close watch on asteroids as there are so many of them in orbit.
The Gas Giant
Jupiter is the most massive planet in the solar system. It is composed mostly of two elements: hydrogen and helium. This has given Jupiter the nickname "gas giant," because, unlike Earth, it has little rock or solid matter in its make-up. The name fits, as Jupiter is larger than all the other planets combined and can give off more energy than the sun.
Surrounding Jupiter are more than 60 moons, the most of any planet in our solar system. The four brightest are called the Galilean satellites. They are named after the Italian mathematician Galileo, who discovered the moons in 1610. Ganymede is the largest of the four. It is larger than Mercury and one-third the size of Earth. Io is another one of the Galilean Satellites. It has more than 400 active volcanoes.
Currently, a U.S. space probe named Juno is headed to Jupiter and its moons. Juno was launched on August 5, 2011, and is scheduled to arrive in July 2016. The probe will orbit Jupiter every 11 days to study the gas giant's atmosphere, auroras, and gravitational field. The information it sends back will help reveal the history of our solar system's largest planet and Earth's possible protector!

I just was noting how thorough the ESB celebration is.
You pretty much can get everything.
TRU still has the Luke Hoth, TaunTaun, Wampa, with Ice Cave battlepack.
Target has the Rebel and Imperial Hoth Battlepacks with AT-STs and Turrets.
Snowspeeders and AT-ATs are readily available.
A version of Han Hoth and Leia Hoth are out. Vader and Snowtroopers are once more in a battlepack as well as carded.
Almost all the pieces are set.
Is the only setting that's lacking - and Hasbro won't make playsets.
Luke Bespin is available - as is Luke Snowspeeder Pilot (how Luke originally lands on Dagobah). And Yoda is out there.
There is no X-wing on shelves right now - especially that moss-covered one, however.
Well, there's no Lando or Lobot figure currently offered. But that's pretty much it.
The Twin Pod Cloud Car is out there.
Slave-One is available, albeit in a Clone Wars format. But if you're patient, it will be repainted. In the meanwhile, if you're not particular, it is a huge, brand-new sculpt that's just awesome!
Again, Hasbro won't do playsets of a huge Freezing Chamber (all-new, and capable of displaying 20-30 figures) would be perfect.
Boba Fett is available in stores.
ANH did not have all that available. It's promo was TAC.
There were some good figures, but it wasn't thorough and the anniversary offerings were themed towards Ralph McQuarrie instead of ALL movie-cannon stuff. (Not that we didn't enjoy the McQuarrie collection for sure!)
The BMF was summer 2008, not 2007's TAC offering. I don't recall if there was a large X-wing that year, or a TIE Fighter for that matter. - Or Vader's TIE? There hasn't been a landspeeder in a while, nor a OT style Y-wing. The Sandcrawler must be made huge if they go with this vehicle again.
I wonder what they will do for ROTJ's 25th? It's the perfect time for a Sailbarge and skiff re-do. The AT-ST (Endor) can be offered again - as might A-wings, B-wings, and Interceptors. But surely the Sailbarge would be the best 30th Anniversary item!!!
Figure-wise, they'll never get out every Jabba alien and Ewok all in one year. It would be nice - and with the Ewoks, maybe battlepacks would do it.
However, can you really see Ephant Mon being re-released? Well, maybe.
But clearly, with its smaller cast, ESB has been thoroughly well done!

A review of Hillary's career makes it unsurprising that her role in the Benghazi affair has been obfuscated.
When she was fired from her House Judiciary Committee job during the Watergate affair:
She and Slick Willie are well-matched.Quote:
She was fired from her job and from that point on distinguished herself as a public master of mendacity.
Jerry Zeifman, a lifelong Democrat, supervised the work of the 27-year-old, fired her, and has explained why:
"Because she was a liar," Zeifman said in an interview last week. "She was an unethical, dishonest lawyer. She conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the committee and the rules of confidentiality."
And now there is a new Hillary scandal, and this article also cites how Hillary may have been the "author" of Obama's "red line."
Yup, I don't like Hillary. Never have. JMO.
There is nothing one can say of such callousness.Quote:
During the second portion of a House Oversight and Government Reform hearingabout Benghazi Thursday on Capitol Hill, the majority of Democrats on the Committee left the room and refused to listen to the testimony of Patricia Smith and Charles Woods.
Among the comments on another article, I found this:
These are the names of the Democrats who walked out on the Benghazi families:
Rep. Carolyn Maloney (NY-14)
Rep. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D.C.)
Rep. John Tierney (MA-6)
Rep. Wm. Lacy Clay (MO-1)
Rep. Stephen Lynch (MA-9)
Rep. Jim Cooper (TN-5)
Rep. Gerald Connolly (VA-11)
Rep. Matt Cartwright (PA-17)
Rep. Mark Pocan (WI-2)
Rep. Tammy Duckworth (IL-8)
Rep. Danny K. Davis (IL-7)
Rep. Peter Welch (VT)
Rep. Tony Cardenas (CA-29)
Rep. Steve Horsford (NV-4)
Rep. Michelle Lujan Grisham (NM-1)
They DID get the guy responsible for this.
The video maker!!!!:cool:
This interview will be on 60 Minutes this Sunday.
Terrorists who attacked the U.S. compound in Benghazi last year announced they were "here to kill Americans," according to a British citizen who was there and spoke with CBS' "60 Minutes."
The witness, a security officer who goes under the pseudonym Morgan Jones, is the first western eyewitness to speak publicly about the attack.
He told "60 Minutes" that on the night of Sept. 11, a guard in the compound called him to say they were under attack and that fighters were "all over the compound."
"Nothing to do with politics?" I have a hard time believing that after we have seen how the whole story was spun to turn on the unknown video.Quote:
As Fox News reported, the State Department's "Rewards for Justice" program -- which offers multimillion-dollar payouts for tips leading to wanted terrorists -- does not include suspects in the Benghazi terror attack.
The State Department has not offered an explanation as to why those individuals are not on the list. Pressed by Fox News and The Associated Press on Thursday, spokeswoman Marie Harf suggested the important thing was that the Obama administration is resolved to find those suspects.
"This is nothing at all to do with politics. We've made crystal clear that we want to find these people and bring them to justice," Harf said. "Whether we pay a couple million dollars isn't the point -- the point is we believe it's a priority ... and whether they are on a website or not doesn't change that."
" He's got to be the most well rested man on earth after all the vacation he takes. It's all hot air." He is full of gas, this much is true. He is a very good speaker, not much of a doer, but he sure can spin a yarn. Although there is another useless president that took more vacation time than any other in history. Know who that might be?
Have previous presidents lied? Absolutely. Are any of those lies ok? Not in my opinion, yet I doubt anyone can remember a time when an administration has ever told such an egregious lie to the American public and continued to deny it after they have been outed.
One thing is for certain, BHO is proof that the masses don't really care. America is supposed to represent that which is good in the world. We are supposed to do the RIGHT thing.
There is the problem. Why do we have to take care of the rest of the world? Why don't we take care of our own house before we repair others houses? OUr house is crumbling, yet we give our money away to the neighbors so their house won't fall down. I said that he is full of hot air. I just pointed out another president that seemed to take a lot of vacation time too. Someone claimed WMDs so that's why we went over there. Found out to be false. Then blamed it on "bad intelligence" information. Just sayin.

Life Income Gift
As with other types of giving, all of the giving strategies noted below can help reduce estate tax and costs associated with probate.
(Percentages quoted change frequently. Individual and current proposals can be prepared on request)
- Option for income payment for your life and the life of your spouse (or any other individual)
- Potential increase in income
- Income tax deduction
- Potential investment diversification
- Probable elimination of capital gains tax on appreciated property
- Reduced estate taxes and probate costs
- Satisfaction in supporting the College during your lifetime
- Knowledge of how your gift will be used
The following are types of life income gifts:
- Charitable Gift Annuity
- Deferred Payment Gift Annuity
- Pooled Income Fund
- Charitable Remainder Unitrust
- Charitable Remainder Annuity Trust
- Charitable Lead Trust
Charitable Gift Annuity
The gift annuity, the simplest life income plan, is a contract between the donor and the College. A gift annuity offers a fixed dollar payment for life. The fixed payment rate is guaranteed regardless of economic conditions. A portion of this payment is tax-free, the remainder is ordinary income. Following the donor's lifetime, the money remaining in the contract goes toward a predetermined purpose. Annuities can be funded with cash, securities, and certificates of deposit proceeds. If the annuity is funded with appreciated securities, part of this payment is treated as capital gain income. The donor receives an immediate income tax deduction based on the amount of the gift, the number of income beneficiaries (can be one or two annuitants), and the rate of income received. Rates are available upon request from the Office of College Advancement.
|Charitable Gift Annuity calculations:
|Beneficiary Age(s)
|Gift Amount
|Gift Date
|Payment rate
|Payment Schedule
|Quarterly End
|Charitable Deduction
|Annual Payment
|Tax free portion
|Ordinary income
|After 19.9 years, the entire annuity becomes ordinary income.
- Increased retirement income
- Fixed annual income, partially tax-free
- Reduced capital gains tax
- Immediate charitable income tax deduction for donors who itemize deductions
Deferred Payment Gift Annuity
Like the charitable gift annuity, the deferred payment plan also offers a contractual guarantee of life income. In this case, the donor only starts receiving income at a predetermined time in the future, often on, or shortly after, retirement at age 65.
Let's assume the donor, a hard-working professional, is at the point of exceeding his Qualified Retirement Plan, has maximized his/her 403B Plan, and is looking for a better way to further supplement his/her retirement security. The donor wishes to retire in 25 years at age 65. By putting $25,000 now into a deferred payment gift annuity, the donor would receive the following benefits:
- $6,700 per year for life, or 26.8% cash flow, starting at age 65
- $15,441 charitable income tax deduction, usable for up to 50% of donor adjusted gross income
- $482.40 of each yearly payment would be tax-free for the first 19.9 years
- The remainder of the annuity would go to the donor's predetermined purpose at the College after the donor's lifetime.
Donor Benefits of Deferred Payment Gift Annuity
- Fixed Annual income, partially tax-free
- Reduced capital gains tax
- Immediate charitable income tax deduction for donors who itemize deductions
Pooled Income Fund
Participating in our pooled income fund is easy and requires a smaller investment than some other life income gift plans. The primary investment goal is to produce a relatively high return for the donor. Payments to the donor are taxed as ordinary income.
Gifts to the pool may be in the form of cash, securities (especially if appreciated), and certificate of deposit proceeds. Gifts to the fund are invested and pooled with gifts from other investors. Donors receive a proportionate share of the fund's net income each year. The income is based on the fair market value of the gift to the fund. The income tax charitable deduction is based on the gift value, the ages of the beneficiaries, and the highest annual rate of return of the fund during the previous three years.Donor Benefits of a Pooled Income Fund Gift
- Partial charitable income tax deduction for donors who itemize deductions
- Income earned on stock and other assets
- No Capital gains tax
Charitable Remainder UnitrustIncome to donor, then to Rhode Island College
A Charitable Remainder Unitrust is an individual trust paying a donor and/or a secondary beneficiary a fixed percentage of the annual value of the gift principal. A Unitrust may run for the lives of the beneficiaries or for a shorter number of years, at the donor's choosing. Additional contributions may be made after the Unitrust has been initially funded. It is paid out quarterly, semi-annually, or annually, as the donor prefers. The rate of return is a negotiated figure predetermined by the College and the donor: the lower the payment, the higher the charitable deduction. By law, the rate must be at least 5%.
A minimum gift of $100,000 in cash, securities, and/or real estate is required to create and fund a Charitable Remainder Unitrust.When appreciated stock is used, capital gains tax is completely avoided, an excellent hedge against inflation. Unitrust income is taxable depending upon the Trust's investments. However, unlike the pooled fund, a Unitrust may be created with or invested in tax-exempt securities that will, in turn, provide tax-free income to the donor.
Charitable Remainder Annuity TrustIncome to donor, then to Rhode Island College
The Charitable Remainder Annuity Trust is the same type of gift vehicle as the Charitable Remainder Unitrust, except that the income payment is a fixed annual dollar amount as stated in the agreement when the gift is established. The payout runs for the lives of the beneficiaries or for a shorter number of years, as determined by the donor. Unlike the Unitrust, no additional funding can occur once the Annuity Trust has been established.
Because the income payment does not vary, the Annuity Trust is attractive to donors seeking secure and stable income. In addition, an Annuity Trust will generate a larger charitable income tax deduction than a Unitrust in the same amount. The minimum contribution to establish and fund an Annuity Trust is $100,000.
Charitable Lead TrustIncome to Rhode Island College, then principal to family
A Charitable Lead Trust allows you to pass assets to your children or grandchildren without incurring large gift and estate taxes. The trust is created for a designated period of time during which payments are provided to the College. At the end of that trust period, the principal is redistributed to the beneficiary.
The income received by the College generates a sizable charitable deduction for the donor for gift and estate tax purposes. The donor designates the size of the trust, its duration, and the amount that the College will receive. If the trust assets increase in value during the term of the trust, this appreciation is passed along to the beneficiary tax free.
A Charitable Lead Trust is an effective option for individuals in the highest income, gift, and estate tax bracket. Owners of stock in closely-held companies may find this arrangement particularly effective in redistributing stock ownership.

Skyhawk Softball | Donley Canary - Head Coach
Donley Canary enters his 16th season at the helm of the Skyhawks. Canary guided the UT Martin softball team to its second Ohio Valley Conference regular season championship, OVC Tournament title and NCAA Regional since 2009 before finding himself in the 2013 OVC Tournament championship game. Amongst numerous team accomplishments, he won his 400th career game on April 20, 2013 and the Skyhawks have appeared in 12 OVC tournaments in the past 14 years.
In the past 15 seasons, Canary has not only become the program's all-time winningest coach, but also transformed the Skyhawk softball team into a respected and perennial OVC contender. Canary guided the program to its first-ever OVC Tournament title and NCAA Tournament berth in 2009 and its first OVC regular season championship in 2010. As a whole, the Skyhawks have won regular season championships in both 2010 and 2012 along with OVC Tournament titles in 2009 and 2012.
Now after 15 seasons, Canary sports a 488-368-2 won-loss-tie record and his teams have advanced to the OVC tournament as the No. 1 seed twice, No. 2 seed once, No. 3 seed three times, No. 4 seed three times and No. 5 seed three times. Canary has coached 72 All-OVC selections in his 15 seasons with 23 of those having been named to the All-OVC first team, 12 were named All-OVC second team, three were All-OVC honorable mentions along with 23 named to the OVC All-Tournament Team, including two OVC Tournament MVPs. Canary has also had 21 OVC All-Newcomer team members which was newly created for the 2006 season. Canary is currently the fifth all-time winningest coach in the OVC with 488 career wins and is the fourth winningest among active coaches in the conference.
The transformation began in 2002, during Canary's first season, when the Skyhawks posted a 25-33 win-loss record. The Skyhawks were lauded as the second most improved Division I softball program in the nation. Canary guided the team to 14 more victories than the year before. Much of the team's success was because of a stellar recruiting class. The team advanced to the OVC tournament as the No. 3 seed. In the tournament, the Skyhawks suffered a 6-1 loss to No. 6 seed Eastern Illinois in the first round. The Skyhawks defeated No. 5 Southeast Missouri State, 5-1, in the second round and then lost to Eastern Illinois 5-1 in the consolation bracket elimination game.
With the bar raised for the 2003 season, Canary and the Skyhawks once again answered the challenge. The team proved its success in 2002 was not a fluke by winning 21 games and The Skyhawks knocked off Eastern Kentucky in the first round 4-0 before falling to eventual OVC Champion Tennessee Tech and Samford.
In 2004, the team won 40 games and followed that by winning 33 games in 2005. Canary and the Skyhawks were on a roll in 2006 winning 25 games and then claiming 30 wins in 2007.
In 2008, the Canary-led Skyhawk squad missed the OVC Tournament, for the first time in the coach's tenure. The regular season came down to the final weekend with UT Martin facing Samford and the winner of the three-game series earning the final berth into the postseason. After claiming the opening game 5-3, Samford was able to take the final two games of the series by a score of 2-1 in each. During the season Canary passed the 200 win plateau in his head coaching career. The milestone win came on the road, April 6, against Canary's alma mater Tennessee Tech by a score of 2-1.
One of the big highlights of Canary's coaching career came in 2009 when his team entered the OVC Tournament as the No. 4 seed and rallied after dropping the opening game to win the next five games and claim the program's first OVC Tournament championship and NCAA Tournament berth. The OVC Tournament run also marked the lowest seed to ever win the tournament along with also being the first time a team had come out of the first round losers bracket to eventually win the title.
The Skyhawks and Canary won their first regular season championship in 2010. The coach guided the Skyhawks to a 47-11 won-loss record. By winning the regular season title, the Skyhawks earned the right to host the OVC tournament.
In 2011, Canary was faced with replacing four four-year starters with a host of newcomers. The Skyhawks finished third in the regular season with a 19-10 slate and overall with a 34-24 record.
The Skyhawks rallied around a trio of seniors – Chelsea Jones, Jenny Bain and Erica Duke – in 2012, winning the regular season OVC title and the OVC Tournament crown. With the tournament title, the Skyhawks advanced to the NCAA Regional where they played eventual national champion Alabama and Georgia Tech.
Along with the proven leadership of the three seniors, the Skyhawks reaped the efforts of three freshmen in the starting lineup. When the dust settled on the season, the accolades came pouring in. Jones was named the OVC Pitcher of the Year. Taylor, a junior from Brownsville was named the league's Player of the Year and Canary picked up his second OVC Coach of the Year honor.
Jones and Taylor made the NFCA All-Region team, and Taylor was named an Easton All-American, in addition to being named a Capital One CoSIDA Academic All-American.
In 2013, the Skyhawks had to rebound from the loss of three key seniors. Looking to reload, rather than rebuild, the Skyhawks saw the emergence of sophomore Kenzi Tate who shattered numerous program records en route to being named tabbed an All-OVC first team honoree along with NFCA Division I All-Region. Taylor capped her illustrious career with yet another All-OVC honor while setting new program records in both single season and career steals. The Skyhawks belted an OVC-leading 51 home runs while driving in 238 RBIs en route to a 37-20 record on the year and a spot in the OVC Tournament title game.
2014 was a year of transition, capitalized by the loss of three seniors and a key returner injury led the Skyhawks to a 27-27-1 record and No. 6 seed in the OVC Tournament. Despite the overall record, Canary notched his 200th career OVC victory with a 6-5 decision at Austin Peay on May 3. Highlighting the year was the play of OVC Freshman of the Year Carly Gonzales. Along with the league's top freshman honor, Gonzales was named to the All-OVC second team and an All-Newcomer after pacing the team with a .328 batting average, while hitting one home run, 17 RBIs and 11 stolen bases.
Canary's 2015 squad became just the second team in the last 13 years to not make the OVC Tournament after finishing with a 24-26 overall record and a 9-15 mark in the league. Despite the results, the Skyhawks saw five players finish with batting averages over the .300 mark, led by All-OVC first team selection 1B/P Kenzi Tate with a Triple Crown campaign, tallying a .345 batting average, nine home runs and 38 RBIs at the plate. Freshman outfielder Alicia Hansen also was named to the All-Newcomer team after cranking six home runs and 28 RBIs in her debut season.
UT Martin returned to the OVC Tournament in 2016 in the league's first neutral site championship in history. The Skyhawks would finish with a 30-26 overall record while notching a 14-12 mark in OVC play. Gonzales earned her second All-OVC honor after leading the club with a .372 batting average while tallying 10 doubles, two home runs and 22 RBIs along with 22 stolen bases. Freshman Katie Warrick earned All-OVC second team honors along with a spot on the All-Newcomer squad after leading the OVC with 10 home runs and 41 RBIs.
Off the field, Canary's teams have also excelled in the classroom, earning the OVC Academic Award in 2005 in consecutive years in 2014 and 2015 along with currently being the team that owns the highest grade point average over the last five years according to the National Fast pitch Coaches Association.
Canary came to UT Martin from Tennessee Tech where he held various positions in athletics since 1993. He served as director of athletic fund-raising and assistant softball coach during the 2000-01 seasons, amassing a 44-20 record. Canary also served as an assistant baseball coach for the Golden Eagles from 1993 -2000 season. During that time Tech claimed a 193-235-1 record highlighted by a regular season and tournament OVC championship in 1997.
Canary is a former Academic All-American baseball player from 1973-77 and graduate of Tennessee Tech University. He was inducted into the Tennessee Tech Sports Hall of Fame in 1997 in recognition of his outstanding playing career.
An All-OVC outfielder, Canary led the Golden Eagles with a .429 batting average and was named All-South and received the Academic All-American award following the 1976 season. Canary was the top batter in the Golden Eagle line up during the 1974 and 1976 seasons. In 1974, he led Tech with a .327 average at the plate and 1976 average of .429 still sits as third all-time in Golden Eagle baseball history.
Canary also sits at fourth in walks with 39 and sixth in at-bats per strikeout with 27.2. On the career walks list, Canary still holds the top spot with 134 free passes during his tenure.
He earned his master's degree from the University of Tennessee in 1980.

The annual congress of the Société Francophone du Diabète (SFD - French-speaking Diabetes Society) , created 40 years ago, has become a forum for all those involved in diabetes, from doctors, para-medical professionals, researchers and students to industrial partners and patient associations. In recent years it has attracted more than 4,500 participants. Visitors come to listen, exchange information, learn more about the disease, make their debut as a speaker and simply meet up with French-speaking colleagues.
The Congress is also the opportunity for our scientific society to present prestigious awards and research grants.
SFD has also set up a foundation (Fondation Francophone pour la Recherche sur le Diabète) aimed at supporting large-scale projects. Paris in 2014 will offer an opportunity to find out more about the first programs that will be funded.
The scientific and medical work carried out in our Ile-de-France region with seven medical universities, numerous hospitals and research centers contributes substantially to improving the understanding and the treatment of diabetes.

|>> Archive: Warmwater Gamefish Flies Freshwater Bass, pike, muskie?!?
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Dble Haul
Here are detailed instructions for making these flies, provided by Pete and also available in the "Pike Crease flies" thread.
Body: Craft foam. I tried pink, yellow, and white. I prefer the white so far.
Shell: Iridescent wrapping paper. I tried various metallic wrapping papers but they are too opaque and dont seem to stick well to the foam body.
Color: Various permanent markers.
Hook: TMC 511S size 2/0
Tail: Assorted synthetic fiber with flashy materials
Underbody: Magik Glitter glue
1. Make a paper pattern
2. Mark off several body shapes on the foam.
3. Tape over the shapes with carpet tape. This stuff is a very fine film of sticky material, also known as 2-way tape. The tape is only 2 inches wide and you need 2X width to cover the fly body, or 3X depending on which orientation you use, length or width. Make sure to put one strip on at a time, that is place it on the foam and remove the cover tape before placing the next strip.
4. Cut out some iridescent shell and carefully place it on the body. If you want a variation on the body, just crinkle the paper in your hands, then apply it.
5. Rough cut each body shape, then detail cut each one.
6. Paint the shell with the markers, starting with the top line and then the lateral line, blending as you go along.
7. After the marker coloration is dry, bend the shell into a crease and hold for a few minutes with wooden clothes pins. I did three at a time. I colored the inside of the shell, at the front end, about one quarter from the face towards the tail rather than leaving it white.
8. Prepare the tail. I made the tails very sparse due to the teeth foul-ups common with pike. Just take a little bit of flash and a little bit of hair, wrap it with tying thread about one quarter inch and put it aside. This really helps when finishing the fly.
9. Open up the creased shell, apply cryo glue around the edges and in the middle part where the tail and hook will go. The tail is not tied onto the hook.
10. Place the tail into the crease, close it, and hold it with two clothes pins.
11. Place the hook inside and then hold it with three or more clothes pins. I leave the mouth open to create more water disturbance and make the fly swim more erratically.
12. After the fly glue is dry, about 30 minutes, place the tape eyes on and apply a fine bead of Sparkle glue to the foam section of the underfly. This glue will not stay on if applied to the body, and takes a long time to fully dry.
13. I used some poly-urethane clear varnish to overcoat the fly, two coats.

Pete, that's a generous offer....I'll shoot you an e-mail. I plan to try them on the CT River.
And don't worry too much about not being able to make the clave....you might have to wait a bit longer for your season, but I'm sure the quality of the fishery is much higher than ours.
|John Desjardins
|Pete, the flys look good.
Pike season?
These creatures are what you do when it's -22C with a wind chill of up to -40C.
I wish I could join you folks for the Pike Clave, but I'll just wait till our season opens on May 8.
I would appreciate field testing, preferably in rivers since I exclusively do lakes. Pike rivers for me are not close by, but some great lakes are within an hour drive to get at them toothy critters.
Send me an Email with your address and I'll send you some samples to test.
One more Test
Pike variant
Pic Test
Trying to get a better pic.
|Dble Haul
I hope you tied up a bunch of those, because old Esox is gonna go after those like they're the last cookies in the jar. :hehe:
Let me know if you need a U.S. counter part to do some field testing.
Very nice!
Test Pike Patterns
These are test patterns for Crease style Pike patterns.
They are about 4 inches long in the body.
Hopefully you can enlarge the image to get a proper perspective.

Loggers Manager McKay retires as a champion
LA CROSSE, Wis. -- As the Loggers rushed the field after the final out Friday night, Manager Andy McKay is slowly walking, pumping his fist, still humble.
"I'm getting way too much credit for this," McKay said. "We had a phenomenal group of kids, and they invested themselves completely into it."
His players would disagree.
"He's the best coach I've ever had," said pitcher Jake Stassi. "The mental game, he really helps get your mind right, ready for the game."
"You know, Coach McKay, I'll admit, he single-highhandedly, he and Coach Katz, they helped turn my career around, and I owe everything to those guys," said pitcher Jacob Dorris.
"I heard he was a great coach, I got to experience it for myself," said second baseman Brendan Farney. "That's a great man right there. They retired his number."
And in his last game as the Loggers skipper, McKay added yet another line to his legacy in La Crosse: a championship.16190086
"Coach McKay's been the best coach in the Northwoods League for five years, and I think it wouldn't have been right if he didn't win a title," outfielder Bobby Juan said.
"Storybook ending, it meant everything," said General Manager Chris Goodell. "I mean, we owe him so much. Five years of his dedication and what he's done for our organization, and for what he's done for all these guys, our players."
"It just seems like icing on the cake," said outfielder Matt Chapman. "I wouldn't want to win it for anyone else."
And the one thing McKay says he'll most remember about La Crosse?
"Honestly, it's the ballpark. It's that river behind it. I don't know what the smell is, but it is unique. I'm not going to say it's bad or good, but you just, you know you're here, and you know that smell. And the city is lovely."

raph: I know it's likely been said many times before, but folks along the lines of bytesplit and OpenSourceJapsEye (if I remember correctly) are a useful metric in themselves -- few people want to try for negative attention someplace that isn't a fairly strong positive overall.
In terms of useful feature suggestions, may I suggest a "subscribe/ignore" feature such as found on Freshmeat? I think it would be a good way for users to keep track of their favourite diarists, while not being annoyed by those whose opinions they would rather not see.
I envision a new box on the main page, being "subscribed diaries" or the like -- sort of an elective recentlog. I know it will be one more step towards front-page clutter, but I know I would find it fabulously useful, and can only assume that others might, as well.
Of course, I'll be willing to work on a patch, if that's your preferred form of new feature submissions.

On a recent trip to St. Louis, Missouri, for a seminar, I stopped by the famous Gateway Arch, the symbol of the expansion of the United States to the West.
It was completed in 1965 at a cost of $13 million. This monument is in commemoration of Thomas Jefferson and the great deeds that he did with the Louisiana Purchase and expanding the United States to the west coast.
It was not far from the Gateway Arch that, in 1804, the Lewis and Clark Expedition took off.
The Gateway Arch is the tallest of our national monuments in the United States. It is 608 feet tall and 608 feet wide at the base.
There is a tramway system inside the arch that takes over a million people a year up to the top to observe the entire area.
There is something unique about the tramway in the Gateway Arch. Since the arch curves, that tramway does not go straight up. In order to keep the passenger cars level as they go up the curved arch, there are many adjustments along the tramway.
Isn't that a lesson in life?
Many times, life for us is not a straight line. Life sometimes throws us a curve. And, if we don't learn to adjust as we go, if we don't learn to take those difficult moments a little easier, life is going to be really tough for us.
So, may I suggest for you, if you have a difficult time adjusting to the challenges of the economy, of your health, of the weather, or whatever, that you realize that you can adjust easily.
May I suggest an affirmation that helps us deal better with the curves of life: I adjust easily to the curves that I see in life.
It's not what happens. It's how we react. Thus, it's all about our attitude toward challenges that makes the big difference.
By adjusting our attitude, I believe that we will be able to move up to the top a little smoother.
You are special. You are unique. You are destined in greatness. I see it in you – you are a Champion. Have a powerful day!

We are going to see a Polo Match. It takes place way over the other side of the city and Len figures it out we would have to make 4 bus changes. We got help on the bus where to get off and then a lady at the bus stop made a suggestion to Len so it cut out one of the busses.
Our journey takes us through Wimbledon. We look to see if we can find the stadium as we go through the town, but no luck in seeing it. It is a big city, must be somewhere out of the centre.
We get off across from the Fox and Duck pub and walk ahead a bit and down a park road. We come to the Polo field. The cars are coming in and parking along the side, then setting up their chairs, blankets and picnics on the grass in between the cars
We walk along looking at what people have brought. We say to them it looks like a great tail gate party here. I am sure they have no idea what a tail gate is – no pick-up trucks here. We go to the end and look at the horses and riders. Then around to the club house - for members and guests only, this must be a small club as the facilities are small. We had thought there would be more stands and concessions. No concessions for those who are not members or guests.
We make our way back to the other side and pick out a spot to sit. The one couple had spoken to us earlier, the other couple were waiting for another car to come and were worried about us taking up their space. The car arrived and had lots of room.
The polo match begins, it is 4 players on each side, 2 refs, they play 4 seven minute chuckers with 3 minute breaks in between each chucker. They begin on the other side with the ref throwing out the ball between the horses lined up on each side.
They take turns on each side through out the field throwing out the ball
When the half time came we got up a put the divots in! During this time we spoke with the couple on the one side of us. They then came over and brought us a wine flute of sparking rose wine. We sat down on our jackets to enjoy the drink and the family on the other side offered us chocolate cake and raspberries for dessert. It was very good. When I returned the wine glasses they asked if we would like some sandwiches. We had stopped for lunch on our way here, so we were still full.
The second game was a team from England and one from Spain. The third game was between two novice teams. With the long ride home we left at this point, thanking all the neighbours for their hospitality and began our walk to the bus stop.
We stopped in Wimbledon and went to the Prince Charles Pub for roast beef and Yorkshire pudding diner. It wasn't too bad, the beef could have been a bit rarer. We did enjoy it as we haven't had roast beef for such a long time
Back on the bus for the remainder of our ride home.
At the hotel there are 2 large groups staying there. One is a group of workers from Fiji – I think they said. They spend a lot of time drinking beer and playing pool. The other group is from India, there is a group of them in our room corner area. They are up before 6 a.m. and go back and forth from room to room and chat in the hall. The first morning I went out in my jamies and said please ssshh. They went into a room and closed the door. The hotel is very good at filling all your requests. Someone had flipped the valance up and it was then dusty, they cleaned it right away. They also put on a sheet on the bottom, but give a blanket for the top cover. We asked for a sheet and they remade the bed.. The front staff are very helpful with info on getting tickets for the buses and trains.

The Majority's $279-Billion 'Doc Fix' Shell Game
The Democrats' tactic for bringing health care legislation to the floor is a transparent attempt to gain credit for a Medicare reimbursement increase doctors want, while hiding its $279-billion cost. They have crafted a rule that lets them have it both ways: they can claim support for the doctors' payment hike as part of their overall health care plan, but at the same time pretend its cost is a separate matter.
The Budget Committee's Ranking Republican has requested a Congressional Budget Office [CBO] analysis of the health care bill if the "doc fix" were included. In the mean time, the House Budget Committee staff has developed its own estimates based on CBO figures. This analysis shows the following:

The key to these sweet, lightly crisp cookies is rich white chocolate and the refreshing hint of lime in each bite!
For perfectly shaped cookies, use a small ice-cream scoop to drop cookie dough onto the cookie sheet.
To save time and cleanup, tear off several sheets of cooking parchment paper to line cookie sheets. Simply bake cookies as directed. When used correctly, the paper won't burn and can actually improve the texture and appearance of your cookies.

|GO term:
|core promoter sequence-specific DNA binding
|GO id:
|Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a sequence of DNA that is part of a core promoter region composed of the transcription start site and binding sites for the basal transcription machinery. The transcribed region might be described as a gene, cistron, or operon.
|The word "promoter" is used variously in the literature to describe the core promoter specifically or the entire proximal regulatory region (excluding any distal enhancers) including both the core promoter and the upstream region where activating transcription factors such as Gal4 in S. cerevisiae or catabolite activator protein (CAP) in E. coli bind. To minimize ambiguity in the use of the word "promoter" in GO, we have chosen the phrase "transcription regulatory region" in order to refer to all of the regulatory regions. Regulatory regions in the DNA which control initiation may include the "core promoter" where the basal transcription machinery binds, the "core promoter proximal region" where regulatory factors other than the basal machinery bind, and "enhancer" regions which are typically more distal from the core promoter. There are also additional regulatory regions, in both the DNA and the RNA transcript, which regulate elongation or termination of transcription. ANNOTATION NOTE: Regarding annotation to "transcription regulatory region DNA binding" (GO:0044212) and any of its is_a children, note that annotation to these terms specifies DNA binding only without any statement about transcription factor activity. To make an annotation about a function of transcription factor activity, consider "sequence-specific DNA binding transcription factor activity" (GO:0003700) or its is_a children which have has_part relationships to the appropriate kind of "transcription regulatory region DNA binding".

I really liked David and Goliath, but the odds were against them. Since the beginning, they were running at the back and it finally caught up with them. The little guy had spirit and a don't-give-up attitude. I liked that.
I really liked David and Goliath, but the odds were against them. Since the beginning, they were running at the back and it finally caught up with them. The little guy had spirit and a don't-give-up attitude. I liked that.
I don't know if I will miss the monster truckers or not. They started out likeable but changed during the course of the game, particularly Rick. I know it's a game but you can play with class.
Jaymes and James should be glad they're handsome, 'cause they're lacking in the brains department! They keep getting breaks, but those lucky breaks will eventually stop.
The twin sisters are really getting on my nerves.
And we know why Ryan is divorced: he's an ***!!
I really like the rockers, but boy they just can't catch a break! The one's hobbling around in pain and now the passport issue.
Minus the passport issue, I don't think the rockers could've lasted much longer. Abba's knee was taking its toll.
The Russian dance was a challenge made for Jaymes and James.
Can't say I'll miss Ryan and Abi. Okay, Abi more than Ryan. Ryan was too obsessed with winning the $2 mil. And if he were in Jaymes and James' position, Ryan would've screwed someone over, too.
BTW, I've had trouble at the Frankfurt airport, too. Five hour mechanical delay, so I can relate.
Jaymes is playing for a noble cause. I'd like to see the guys win just because of that.
The sisters are just plain annoying.
The sisters were really getting on my nerves. I was cheering that they would be eliminated, but Phil had to surprise us, didn't he?
Trey and Lexi or Jaymes and James are the winning teams. The farmers have really hung in there, and that last challenge was built for them (like my play on words?) but I think injury will continue to slow down. Jaymes' cause for playing and winning is the most noble.
A team that never once came in first but was always at the back of the pack wins everything. Hard to believe. I have nothing against the Beekmans, but I'd preferred Jaymes and James winning. J&J had a noble reason to win, not saying that saving the family farm isn't.
Nice twist on the final challenge. I wouldn't have paid attention to hello and goodbye.
Season 22 cast announced.
Roller derby moms, pro hockey players, taxidermists, oh my!!!
I took an immediate dislike toward Max and Katie. Very pompous, artificial and full of themselves. They won't last long. Hopefully. Fingers crossed.
Felt sorry for the two brothers. The water challenge was just too much for them.
Still dislike Max and Katie.

Make him steady to the shot its very important in duck hunting wouldn't want any one accidentally shooting him.
Make him steady to the shot its very important in duck hunting wouldn't want any one accidentally shooting him.
I dont think this was a field trial but maybe some kind of upland hunt.
A cold nose feels good on a hot day.....
Majestic Oaks Liberty Belle JH
He is just not steady at all after flushing an upland bird. He just kept chasing after it took off. This is what I meant by not being steady to shot. In the puppy class this is not marked down for.
It was an upland test, this is not a UKC or AKC event. They call it a field trial or hunters trial around here. I found it very confusing too as to what sort of event it was. They plant 2 birds in a field while dog/hunter are in the blind. The dog and hunter then have 10 mins to locate, flush and recover birds. judges then score the dog on preset criteria. What exactly would you guys call this?
Congratulations, but watch out, that first ribbon can lead to an unhealthy obsession.
Sounds like UFTA flushing field trials. 3 birds planted while handler and dog are in a blind. You have 20 minutes to find, shoot and retrieve the birds. Scores based on time remaining, birds found, shells shot, and full vs partial retrieves. Quite fun and it is competitive- you have to place and win a certain number of times to title. Have done this in the recent past.
A dog that is steady to wing and shot won't often win these type of competitions since the faster the better. I would caution against not steadying your dog if plan to do most work or hunt tests that require a steady dog. They have very bad breaking habits and poor steadiness when run in a lot of upland trials. We learned this first hand. Best to do the steadiness training and work first- ingrain that into the dog- then later do upland trials. They can learn the difference between the different venues and situations, but bad habits allowed for long periods of time are hard to break. The upland trials are lots of fun if you can shoot.

Bulldogs are a very popular and photogenic breed. Bulldogs also have that great and beautiful look whether they are a puppy or adult; it's one breed that looks great at any age. Bulldogs usually (90%) of the time require a c-section for delivery of the puppies and artificial insemination to breed.
The cost to a breeder for a litter can run between 1500-3000 dollars (not counting there time). Litter size average is 4. The Cost for a c-section, usually about 500.00- 750.00 assuming it is during normal vet hours. After hours, weekends and holidays will run extra. A cost to breed the dog is usually around 500.00 for the semen/stud service plus shipping if applies.. Additionally there is the bitch pre breeding tests, exams, x-rays, ultra sounds and the like.
Then when a litter is born most of the time they must be hand helped when feed. A breeder will spend every few hours with the litter and mother during feeding 24 hours a day for several days. Bulldogs don't make the best mothers because they may lay on a puppy on accident and not even realize it. There is other reasons besides that but litters are at least human assisted for many days around the clock.

Comment Do they track each others kernels? (Score 1) 576
I wonder if anonical, SuSE and RH track each others kernels, perhaps to see what the competition is up to, ensure compatibility, and lift useful additions. If so, they would be in a good position to catch suspicious developments, and would have motivation to make it public.

At least a foot snow down, still snowing, some high winds in the forecast and more snow forecast later this week. Looks like snow birds will be the order of the day for the rest of the season. There has not been this much snow since 2010.
Here is an example of one of my typical snow turkey setup that worked.
Is the entire state covered in snow now?
In any case good hunting to one and all.

I don't know if anyone has noticed, but NBC has turned thier Tuesday nights upside down. MIA are Just Shoot Me, In-Laws, and Hidden Hills. Frasier (a staple) is still there, but a new show AUSA has found it's way on TV. What the heck :crazed:??
Just Shoot Me is one of my favorites. I find David Spades brand of comedy very funny. I'm in different to In-Laws, but Hidden Hills was on my list of must see TV. I can't find out any info on this. NBC.com is nice, but doesn't provide any info (other than promotional) for thier shows. TVguid.com has all the listings for a week or so a head of time, but no info.
The only thing that I can figue has changed is American Idol. I suppose this show is very popular, but enough that it pumps 3 out of the 4 shows on NBC Tuesday. ERRRRG!!! I wish I had a little info.
Any help here would be hot! :D
Thanks guys :D:D

Family: Podicipedidae, Grebes view all from this family
Description ADULT In summer, has dark gray upperparts (slightly paler than Western) and white underparts; demarcation between these is most striking on head and neck. Black cap does not encompass beady red eye, which is surrounded by white. In winter, plumage is similarly black and white overall, but black cap extends to eye-level behind eye; lores are whitish (very dark gray in Western). JUVENILE Similar to winter adult, but duller and paler overall.
Dimensions Length: 22-29" (56-74 cm)
Habitat Locally fairly common, but generally less numerous than Western. Found on freshwater lakes in summer, but mainly on Pacific coast in winter.
Observation Tips Courtship display is fascinating to watch. Scan flocks of Western Grebes in winter to find the occasional Clark's.
Range Rocky Mountains, Southwest, Northwest, California, Plains
Voice Utters a slurred, shrieking kree-eet.
Discussion Superficially very similar to Western Grebe and once considered conspecific. Subtle differences in bill color and extent of black cap enable separation: see description of Western for specific differences. Somewhat gregarious outside breeding season and sometimes consorts with Western. Sexes are similar.

I am not aware of any reptile related question that I would not be able to provide some reasonable answer for. I have a direct style and may tell you something you did not want to hear; but the welfare of the animal comes FIRST with me, and I will always reflect that position in my answer, despite how it might make you feel.

Monday night I had the pleasure of sitting down with a young man and talking with him about his up coming Eagle Board of Review. The Scoutmaster conference went well.. but then again, shouldn't it? After all this is his seventh conference, he has completed all the work and at seventeen years old, the Scout is pretty much used to talking to me.
We discussed his application and made sure all the paper work was in order. We talked about how the board of review would go and things that I thought would help him articulate his goals to the board. We spent a little time talking about some of the types of questions that might be asked, but by and large it was a time for me to just sit and talk with a young man that has become an Eagle Scout.
In my post on becoming an Eagle at 13 I received a comment from "the other Scoutmaster Jerry". In his comment he states "I hear a lot of noise about A, B, or C type Eagles, but have never met an Eagle that did not, at some point of his life, own up to his accomplishment. All Eagles will eventually realize that they are living their life by twelve words." And I agree with this.. this is the hope of every Scoutmaster I think. As we sit and talk with a Scout during that Scoutmaster Conference, even for the ranks leading up to Eagle, it is my hope that one day they will be good men. Men that live the Oath and Law in their daily lives. After all, earning the Eagle award is not about a patch, right? It is about accomplishment, achievement, and leadership. It is about becoming one that is worthy of the honor. It really is about what you become.
I still can not answer the age question, and you know, I guess I don't have to.. the BSA has answered it for me, and while I can have an opinion. It is not about me.. it is a young man becoming an Eagle Scout, further, becoming a valued member of the community.
Monday night as I put pen to a good Scouts book and initialed the completion of his Scoutmaster Conference, I asked him what he thought his obligation would be as an Eagle Scout. He spoke about giving back, about living up to the reputation of what it means to be an Eagle Scout. I thought that was interesting. We talked about what the public knows about Scouting. They know we camp and they know Eagle Scout. That is for certain. They will talk about helping old ladies across the street and they will have an understanding of the values that are learned through the Oath and Law. But when you talk about Eagle Scouts they immediately know that it is special.
As I have grown as a Scoutmaster, I too have a better understanding about what it means to become an Eagle Scout.. no matter the age, I think that by and large Jerry is right, they grow into the responsibility, they develop a stronger consciousness about what it means to wear the highest honor in Boy Scouts, and they try to live up to it. Do they stumble, sure, but deep inside being an Eagle Scout is something that can never be taken away and will always be a part of their lives.
I am proud of our Scouts that achieve this honor, it makes me even happier to know that they have earned it and have become an Eagle Scout.
Have a Great Scouting Day!

I saw pics of the upcoming Troop Builder set and i am very concerned. Why are you, Hasbro, including 2 of those wacky and rubbery rifles in the set an ONLY 2 Imperial Issue (Stormtrooper) Blasters? The rifles weren't even carried by them. Only Luke is seen with one and he only had it for like 5 minutes. So why don't you guys include FOUR of the regular blasters? I'm very sure everyone would be much happier with it then. Also, it would be great if you guys added some articulation in the arms and the legs and fixed the hip problem which causes the legs to move inward when the kneejoints are used.
I'd be happy to pay an extra $1 if you guys did this. And while you're at it, make a new to scale Mouse Droid ($2 if you did that as well).

Beyond recommending income investors check out dividend-paying utility stocks, Barclays urges investors to look into master-limited partnerships, calling the MLP selloff late last year "not sustainable" and offering the following MLPs for investors to target in 2013:
- Targa Resources Corp (TRGP): Barclays calls TRGP "a levered play on NGLS (Targa Resources Partners L.P. the underlying MLP), which stands to benefit from growth in natural gas liquids production in the United States given its attractive positioning in the NGL downstream infrastructure space…. We forecast TRGP to grow distribution 36% in 2013, driven by $1.9 billion of organic projects under execution. This level of growth puts TRGP's growth among the highest in the GP space."
- Williams Companies, Inc.: (WMB): "WMB trades at a 3.9% yield, which we believe is a roughly 100bps discount to peers with similar dividend growth rates. We think this discount should narrow over time, especially as the company continues to grow its fee-based businesses and decrease its commodity exposure with the execution of its project backlog. This would add upside to our current price target of $38 which is currently predicated on the current yield."

Wedding Gifts
Everyone loves to hear the happy news of their friends or family getting married. It is traditional to give wedding gifts, and although it is obviously not mandatory, there is nevertheless a sense of obligation to buy a wedding gift, especially if they are family or you have been invited to the wedding ceremony itself.
For some people it is a real pleasure to buy wedding gifts. Older people, especially couples, love buying people wedding gifts. For single and/or younger people who aren't as familiar with weddings may be a little bit apprehensive as to what is appropriate, in terms of style, size and budget.
We have tried to combine a mix of traditional wedding gifts with some more unique wedding gifts for couples that the two can do together, so you have a range of different wedding presents to choose from. We also have some short breaks if you're looking to book a little honeymoon, either for yourself or for the happy couple.
Buying gifts for a wedding may seem a little bit intimidating but don't worry we have such a comprehensive range of presents that you're sure to find something appropriate for any kind of couple. Search through our wedding gifts now and give them a gift they will remember for the rest of their lives.

Love banana bread? Whip up muffins with an extra bonus of chocolate chips.
For the best flavor, be sure to use bananas that are very ripe.
Just for fun, stir 1/3 cup toffee chips, candy-coated chocolate candies, peanuts, banana chips or raisins into the batter.
Stuck with more ripe bananas than you can use at once? Mash what you have, and freeze in 1 cup portions. You can add them to recipes as you need them.

His ambition sets him up for conflict with his whanau, most particularly his father - a potato picker played by New Zealand film veteran Morrison.
Director Tearepa Kahi shot the film in Pukekohe.
It is set for release in New Zealand cinemas on February 6 next year.

Yeah, I like it. I'm not sure they'd make this one - maybe in the $65 price point, but since it's not too "aggressive" I bet that it's not high on their list.

I like this ship. I would probably put it in the maybe list.
On second thought, I would get it.
Nowhere in your incoherent ramblings did you come anywhere close to the answer. Thanks to you, everyone in this room is now stupider having heard you. I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul. -Billy Madison-
[FONT=Courier New]Yes, yes, a thousand times YES![/FONT]
[FONT=Courier New][/FONT]
[FONT=Courier New]I want this in Hasbro's 3 3/4" line for sure. Put me down for 2-3, actually.[/FONT]
[FONT=Courier New][/FONT]
[FONT=Courier New]Hasbro's argument that is is not an "aggressive" or "aggressive looking" vehicle is a BS argument. This is definitely a vehicle that has and will be featured on The Clone Wars show and could definitely be made in plastic and feature bombs and missiles galore.[/FONT]
[FONT=Courier New][/FONT]
[FONT=Courier New]Plus big vehicles can carry lots of troopers and it would sell more figures, too. I bought 6 AT-TE's last summer and fall and I went out and bought MORE Phase I clones to fill them and I still feel like I need more. [/FONT]

Maybe I'm dense, but to me it looks like a Gunship with the guns placed differently from that pic. Is there more to it than that?
That's my jacket!
[FONT=Courier New][/FONT]
[FONT=Courier New]You're right, it does have a little Republic Gunship look to it, but it's more of a cross between the gunship and a Lambda class shuttle or Sentinel class landing craft.[/FONT]

The Lego picture is a bad indication of what it looks like; here is its Wookieepedia page. According to that page, it was in five episodes and the film, so it's fairly recognizable.

probably not. i'd have to see it in plastic first
Yes, I would buy this ship. There are several things that Big H could do to increase playability such as storage in the bay for 2 or 3 BARC speeders or room for 1 Republic tank. Flip up the cockpit area to access the storage bay and it's all good. They could also tack on a couple of dropping bombs, wing closure feature similar to the old shuttle, and firing rockets on either side of the cockpit. One stroke of genius would be to put pegs to attach a couple of Ando's extra turrets to the top or bottom.
