i need an ephant mon, who wants to help? :D
Hey, that's good news. We did have it marked off the list, but I haven't heard of anything different for a long time. Maybe they will start shipping the clone pilot and clone with speeder too. Im kind of wondering when and if we're going to get any of the 03 figures? It feels like Hasbro Canada is dropping the ball again.
Great! Bring on the somewhat-new-figures! Maybe Walmart is finally getting stuff in. Can't wait to find them.
"We shall double our efforts."
Hasbro, you forgot a-boot us Canadians.
All the Walmart's (and Zeller's) by my place are full of:
Han Solo (Endor Raid)
Chewbacca (Bespin)
Darth Vader (Bespin)
Luke (Bespin)
....I've got a feeling they will hanging there for a while....not an army builder in the bunch....
Im a little more lucky than that. I could clear out a few figure (5 I think) just by stocking up on Geo Warriors and Royal Guards. Pay day's Wed., if they're still there tomorrow - they won't be for long. I love those two figures. We still have some Palpatines and Djas, one Dexter Jettster and a load of Orn Free Tas - these were some of my favourites from last year, I can't believe they haven't sold!
Hey, JJ, I still don't have djas, is he priced good?? I didn't think I wanted him, but I saw his pic and he does look pretty damn cool...
Something about him reminds me of my older brother, Rex.
Well, I can pick one up and bring it to you "gratis" as we're still working on the deal for the Falcon (since you won't play me at Sabacc for it ). It could make up part of the outstanding balance. Let me know if that interests you, and I'll scoop one up next trip to Zellers. He's wicked, but the guns are way too bendy.
Okay, a couple of new figs popping up on trilogo here in Canada at WalMarts. Have a look, these were posted at Snowtroopers, and the Clone Pilot was confirmed with a pic of him on Trilogo card. Finally.
Basic Figures Not Found
Padme Amidala - Coruscant Attack FOUND!!!!
Darth Maul - Sith TrainingFOUND!!!!
Anakin Skywalker - Tatooine Attack
Ephant Mon
Jango Fett - Slave I Pilot FOUND!!!!
Clonetrooper - Gunship Pilot FOUND!!!!!
Yoda - Jedi High Council
Destroyer Droid - Arena Battle
Saga Imperial Officer (head B - light brown hair, no burns)
Saga Imperial Officer (head C - blonde hair, sideburns)
Saga Teebo
Saga Eeth Koth
Saga Rebel Fleet Trooper (head B - red hair, sideburns)
Saga Rebel Fleet Trooper (head C - black hair, no burns)
Saga Battle Droid - Arena Battle (B - red version)
I don't really know where to draw the line for 2002 and 2003 figs, the numbering system shows the repacks, Yoda, and Destroyer as 2002 basics, so they stay on the list. Notice, however, that I DID draw the line somewhere .
Still missing 11 figures, only 4 of which have been showing up in the US with any great regularity - and that greatly depends on where you live, apparently (Anakin, Ephant, Yoda and Destroyer).
One more "Hurray!" for Hasbro's distribution department!!!

I don't know if this will be easy to read or not, but this is my own little list of the saga stuff I bought over the past year and where it came from (Canada/USA) at the bottom is a 2003 basic figure check list (two actually - card numeric and alphabetical) I put this together a while ago so some of the comments may be outdated and may be missing a few of the latest figure releases for 2003

Hi Fellow Retriever Enthusiasts,
I don't post on the forum often but do follow what's going on with you all and take the advice I find here in training my new pup. I have also communicated with some of you regarding IED detection dogs as well as the organization I volunteer with, Freedom Hunters. Freedom Hunters is a nationwide group of volunteers that send wounded service members, Gold Star family members, children of the deployed and select service members returning from war on no cost hunting and fishing adventures to help with their recovery from injuries, loss of loved ones and the stress of war.
Freedom Hunters is working hard to build our "Likes" on our Facebook page. As the number of fans on our Facebook page increases it makes it easier for us to get much needed support from sponsors (outfitters, equipment suppliers, etc). If you have access to Facebook it would be greatly appreciated if you could go to our page and click on the "Like" button (just below the main picture on the right hand side of the page). By doing so you will not only help us out, but will also automatically receive updates via Facebook when we post information about our latest adventures. Help us help those that have sacrificed so much for the freedoms you enjoy everyday by simply following this link
https://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Fr...282062?fref=ts and giving us a like. It doesn't take anything but a moment of your time.
If you'd like to learn more about our organization you can visit the Freedom Hunters website at www.freedomhunters.org . If you know of any wounded service members that would like to apply for an adventure they can also do so at the Freedom Hunters website.
Thanks for your time and help with this very important request.

Vitra has manufactured furniture designs by Charles & Ray Eames and George Nelson since 1957. Building on this foundation, Vitra has developed a wide range of furnishings for the office, for the home and for public spaces in collaboration with progressive designers. Yet Vitra is more than just a design-oriented manufacturing company. The name also stands for the Vitra Design Museum, for a collection of modern furniture and its accompanying archive, for workshops and publications on topics of design, and for an architectural concept that unites buildings by Frank Gehry, Nicholas Grimshaw, Zaha Hadid, Tadao Ando, Alvaro Siza, Herzog & de Meuron and SANAA at the Vitra Headquarters in Birsfelden (Switzerland) and on the Vitra Campus in Weil am Rhein (Germany).
Product longevity is central to Vitra's contribution to sustainable development; short-lived styling is avoided at all costs. This can be seen most clearly in the classical pieces of furniture that have been used for decades, had several owners and have then even ended up as a part of a collection. For Vitra, the manufacture of sustainable products means intense pre-production development, where the highest-grade materials are selected and tests are carried out that simulate 15 years of use. In order to enforce and monitor sustainable development in all business activities of the company, a work group was formed in 1986 by the name of 'Vitra and the Environment'. Because of this, Vitra can proudly claim that it has been dedicated to sustainability for nearly a quarter of a century.
Born in Antwerp, Belgium, Maarten Van Severen studied architecture at the Sint-Lucas Art Academy in Ghent, Belgium. He designed his first furniture pieces in 1986 and in the following year established an independent workshop, where he pursued the limited, semi-industrial production of his own furniture designs.
This unified process of design and production was a fundamental aspect of his work over a long period of time, in which he devoted himself to the examination of basic furniture types: chair, table, chaise lounge, shelving, and cabinet. He developed primary solutions for these categories based on a comprehensive exploration of the questions of form, material, and construction.
Beginning in 1990, Maarten Van Severen began to collaborate closely with Rem Koolhaas and also turned his attention to interior design tasks. During this period he also assumed teaching positions at a variety of institutions, including University College West Flanders in Kortrijk (1996), the Academy of Fine Arts in Maastricht (1996-97), Delft University of Technology (1998), and universities in Helsinki and Barcelona.View other products by Maarten van Severen

I opened the $13 LEGO ILC that I picked up today and it turns out the mini figs were gone. Someone probably bought it, took the mini figs and returned it (which would explain why it was on the shelves long after they all disappeared from LA). So I returned to Burbank Target and got my money back (after explaining the situation to them). Hopefully they don't put it back on the shelf now that they know the mini figs were stolen.
Also, ended up hitting Walmart today and found the following (see pic).
[FONT=Arial Narrow]
Snags, you have to come to LF TRU sometimes on Sat. morning to check out Spanky's hordefest. While it's good to see Sanchez leaving the store empty handed, that's only b/c Spanky has all the goods in his shopping cart. I must've seen at least 5 Scuba Clones in his cart today. Hootie has been showing up there sometimes as well.
TRU Culver City had all of Legacy wave 2 (Clone Wars 1, realistic) today, plus Rebel Pilot Evolutions. TRU W. LA had Imp Pilot Evolutions and both new Hoth battle packs plus the animated BARC Speeder battlepack. Target W.LA had TF:Animated Oil Slick. Target Culver City had 2 Padme Evo sets. TRU Culver City had TF:U Powerglide & Onslaught on Thursday, but I bought the only one of each.
Still looking for Bane Malar, that's my only Legacy figure missing at this point.
TRU Culver City has a B-wing with a missing figure already, classy!
I can't believe how many of you jerks didn't make it to the Thursday lunch, what the hell? Next time, you'll have to come and you'll have to sit in the dog poop.
The LA collecting scene is such a pain in the arse compared to San Diego where stuff was findable in the afternoon, unlike the hordes and the scalpers rape and pillage our stores so much worse here!
The quake knocked down almost half my collection, I am not sure what I want to do at this point. It was a whopper, if I hadn't grabbed my monitor it would definitely have flung itself to the floor (and then I couldn't have completed that nifty SDCC Hasbro Q&A article I wrote ).
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
Nice score Snags!!!
Lots of goodies at Target this morning. Practically ALL SW was marked down.
Vehiciles $16.99
Evo $16.99
BP's $16.99
Figs $6.99!!!
Got to make some price adjustments on some old receipts.
Also found the new JLU singles
Grabbed a few more B.A.T.S. from a few w9 cases.
Cars were aplenty too. Got Red Copter & RPM Pit Crew Dude.

Take a tip from the hofbrau: beer is a great way to flavor meat, as in these ultra-easy appetizers using frozen meatballs.
Use the remaining dry soup mix to season ground beef for burgers or for a pot roast.
Do not lift the lid during slow cooking. Each time the lid is removed, it takes 20 minutes to bring the food to proper cooking temperature. If you have to sneak a peek, very carefully twirl the round lid, removing the condensation so you can see inside.
To make Bavarian Meatballs Melts, spoon the meatballs into split crusty rolls and top them with shredded Swiss cheese. Broil the sandwiches just until the cheese melts.

My birthday (Friday) began with my husband snuggling me up in the morning (he always gets up earlier than me so he is usually my alarm clock, which I love!) And before we got going for the day, we said a little prayer together. He just expressed so much gratitude for me. Is there anything better to hear as a wife? (I really, really think that prayer - or any equivalent - is worth gold in marriage....In case you missed this post, I wrote all about that here: How to Keep a Marriage GLUED)
Later Danny said..."Um, you might want to get ready for the day, just in case." :) A few minutes later, our buzzer rang. My dear friends came over to surprise me with a breakfast date. It could not have been more wonderful to just catch up with friends and have a delicious brunch in Brooklyn (especially with some of my favorite kids ever.)
Rose Water in Park Slope, the same place we went two years ago for Danny's birthday. To surprise Danny then, I had our awesome waitress bring out his gift with our appetizers (I arranged this prior). She gave me my appetizer and then said to Danny, "And...for you..." and then gave Danny a plate with his gift on it. It was so fun. (She was the best actress!)
So on my birthday, we were sitting there just chatting and the waitress brought out some bread (she was the same waitress). She said something like, "I know you're gluten free, but here's some bread for Danny." It looked like a lot of bread in there. Like - probably many yummy varieties and probably steaming hot. I couldn't wait for Danny to open the napkin so I could see all the bread in there that I was missing out on. And then...he opened the napkin. And there was a little gift for me from him! I was so surprised I think everyone heard me gasp and kind of squeal. hahaha. I just couldn't believe it and certainly didn't expect it. I turned and the entire staff and kitchen were all watching and giddy. SO cute.
So...birthday surprises are the best. I highly recommend them. :) :)
Hope you all have a happy Monday!
P.S. I also got to attend a baby shower over the weekend. My Brooklyn friends have such great taste and always give the BEST gifts. Since I know nothing about the latest baby stuff, I had to document a few things. Here are some of my favs...
May I ask, do you have any "go-to" gifts for baby showers?

One of the more "interesting" areas of the FHSU Geology Summer Field Camp Red Wash mapping project in Dinosaur National Monument. Something unusual is going on with the geology in this image. Beyond that I cannot be more specific. ;-) For more information about our field camp see: hays.outcrop.org/GSCI454 / M...

I'm getting my first lab in mid January and I'm not too sure what to use for training material to start.
I plan on picking up smartworks and following that program, but I just want a solid puppy DVD to get us started off on the right foot. I know theres a Smartworks puppy dvd and it seems like it would make sense to use that one if I'll be using smartworks, right? But i've heard quite a bit about Sound beginnings and the Bill Hillman DVD, what would you guys suggest?
And what smart work DVD's should I purchase, all I want is a good hunting dog and I have no plans on testing or trialing, but Evan Graham has so many dvds available that I'm really not too sure which ones I really need for my pup.
Thanks Joel

I've been dealing with some serious health problems for months now. I was pretty much completely unable to work for awhile and lost my job. Didn't feel much like posting to Advogato either, as you might have noticed.
Things were pretty bleak and depressing for awhile, but they are getting better now. I've been on new meds for just about exactly one month now and they seem to have things under control. I am working full time again at a job I really enjoy. The downside is it's mostly Windows programming, although I have done some Perl/Linux stuff. Right now I'm learning C#. It's too soon to give any opinions about it.
Dave and I bought a new condo together and we're closing on the 28th, so we're really excited about that. I'm moving out of a townhouse, but Dave is coming out of a 5,000 square foot mansion, so for him it's a bit of an adjustment. But I refuse to live in the suburbs, and who can afford 5,000 square feet in the city, especially in a great neighborhood?
I moved in with Dave at his old house in February, and we closed its sale on the 3rd of March, so we're officially homeless atm. All our stuff is in storage and we're staying at Larry's. It's a bit cramped and we're starting to get on each other's nerves. Dave and I are not exactly slobs, but not exactly neat freaks either. Larry, however, is neurotic. Dave and I need to get into our own place while we're all still friends, let's leave it at that. :-)
I'm looking forward to getting back to work on Lampadas again after a long hiatus. Although I've been unable to work for awhile, I have not been unable to think, and I've done a lot of thinking and planning about Lampadas. It could be up to a month more before I am settled into the new house and have my all-important DSL line installed, but I'm eager to get back to work as soon as I can.

By NEMS Daily Journal
Boston and the rest of the United States became more solidly united in determination Monday after an as-yet-unidentifed bomber (or bombers) detonated improvised explosive devices, ripping through a festive Patriots' Day and Boston Marathon crowd, killing three and injuring more than 170.
Mississippians, as tourists and competitors, were part of the marathon throng, but thankfully, so far as is known, none were injured by the blasts.
The first attack on a major sports event in the United States – an act of terrorism as officially described Tuesday morning by President Obama – apparently happened without a hint of suspicious activity.
While the shock lingers, mixed with grieving and pain, Boston continues as a working city.
The Boston Globe's editorial captured the immediate and historic determination of Bostonians:
"A commitment to rise to the occasion, to endure what must be endured, to remember all who suffered and lost their lives in times of strife, is written into the fabric of the city. … "
"Boston will overcome," Mayor Thomas Menino promised on Tuesday morning.
Mayor Menino surely speaks for all of us in the United States.
Caution but not fear should guide our behavior as citizens. Move ahead, and do not become jaded. Justice is in motion.
Washington Post reporter Joel Achenbach, a noted writer, said in his Tuesday commentary, "What do you do, day to day, in our increasingly urbanized world, when you know there are bad people out there for whom the killing and maiming of innocent people is not a tragedy but a successful outcome? The answer … is that you press onward. Life has to go on, terror or not… "
Achenbach described 78-year-old Boston runner, Bill Iffrig, the one who crumpled when hit by the shock wave of the explosion just a few yards from the finish line. Iffrig was on TV Monday night, describing what happened:
"Everybody else is out there having fun and you got one or two people trying to destroy the whole thing. It's hard to figure out. Terrorists, whatever they are … I don't have much use for it." Bill Iffrig, as Achenbach noted, finished the race. So must the rest of us.

What is it about these twits and their blind worship of authority and the free market?
And a correction, dimwit: both major parties are so far Right, it's not funny. The Democrats are pro-market conservatives with a marginalised fringe elements of liberals. The Republicans are a group of hard-Right proto-fascists. Most of the Right in the rest of the civilised world is still way left of the US' notion of "centre".

The Consumer Services Unit works diligently to assist
homeowners who are experiencing a variety of problems
with the servicing of their mortgage loans. Complaints
concerning forced placed insurance issues, failing to
credit the loan for mortgage payments, or assessing undue
fees and charges to the loan account are just a few of
the types of mortgage complaints investigated.
Currently, the Consumer Services Unit is experiencing
a high volume of complaints requesting assistance to avoid
foreclosure sale. In addition to effectively working with
lenders and loan servicers in recommending loan modification
opportunities and other work-out options available to
consumers to avoid foreclosure sale, Maryland has enacted
legislation to protect homeowners from immediate foreclosure
action as well as fraudulent foreclosure schemes that
swindle consumers of their hard earned income. To get
help with your delinquent mortgage, please visit the Maryland

For a turn based strategy simulating "emperor" (more focus on the person, the emperor, not only management of the empire).
For such a game an imperial audience (people going in and asking/requesting/reporting various thing to the emperor) thing would fit very well. I was thinking of maybe making it the focus or at least major part of the game, so I want to design that one first (so, right now there are no restriction if it would fit with the rest of the game).
Note that I aim for a card mechanic feel (things like your personel, events and generally the interface could be presented as cards where possible) also I want it to be not that long or overly complex game (definitely not a full blown 4X). Replayability (smart randomness) would be important too.
How an audience machanic could work? What it should be about? How important that mechanic should be in a game like that?

University to host four 'Pub Nights' for faculty, students and staff
Posted April 14, 2006; 04:50 p.m.
Four "Pub Nights" hosted at the Chancellor Green Café beginning
Friday, April 14, will give Princeton faculty members, students and
staff an opportunity to come together to enjoy conversation, alcoholic
and nonalcoholic beverages, food and music.
The Pub Nights are part of a pilot proposal to test the feasibility of student requests to establish a permanent campus bar. The pub will be open from 6 p.m. to 1 a.m. on four Fridays, April 14, April 28, and May 12 and May 19.
The four pub events will be open to members of the University community who are 21 or older, and all patrons will be required to show a P.U.I.D. and government-issued identification to enter. Dining Services will provide the beverages and food, while the costs not covered through the sale of beverages and food throughout the trial period will be underwritten by the Office of the Vice President for Campus Life.
"We envision the pilot pubs as creating a setting which might bring together faculty, staff, graduate students and undergraduates of legal drinking age for conversation while they enjoy beer or wine, something to eat and good music," said Janet Dickerson, vice president for campus life. "The hope is that the pub nights become a social gathering place akin to Café Vivian or Murray-Dodge Café on campus."
A committee made up of students and administrators began planning the events after undergraduates seeking social alternatives to the eating clubs brought their concerns to the attention of Dickerson's office last spring.
While the University typically has given permission to groups to serve alcohol to students of legal drinking age on a single-event basis, the Pub Committee recommended four "themed" event nights where alcohol would be served in a pub atmosphere: Opening Night, Latin Night, Italy-France Wine Night and Beers of the World Night.
At the Pub Nights, patrons will be able to purchase beer selections for $2.50 and $3, and wine by the glass for $4.25, in addition to bar fare such as nachos and chicken wings.
"This presents our community with another social option, and we do hope that the pub serves as a model for responsible alcohol consumption on campus," Dickerson said. "If the Pub Nights can provide an opportunity for members of our community to have a good time while enjoying safe drinking behavior, then it will have enjoyed a measure of success."
The Pub Committee will use the Pub Nights to evaluate the feasibility of future events where alcohol is served on campus. The committee is made up of staff from the Office of the Dean of Undergraduate Students, Dining Services, Conference Services, the Frist Campus Center, the Graduate School, the Office of the Vice President of Campus Life and also undergraduate students, some of whom are members of the Undergraduate Student Government.

ABC's affordable Persimmon Line of Breast Forms are basic designs with standard film and soft finish.
The Breast Forms in the Signature Pink Line are of high quality and innovative designs with a luxurious soft and satin finish that represents the ultimate in femininity to make women feel comfortable and look beautiful in clothing.
Two featured new products in Signature Pink include The Dual Soft Triangle Breast Form and the cutting edge Massage Forms. The Dual Soft Triangle has a super soft front and super soft back layer joined together by a firm layer of lightweight silicone, allowing the wearer to experience a natural drape similar to that of a natural breast but with lightweight silicone.
The New Massage Form® has unique channel paths of silicone gel on the back layer that create better air circulation, lowering perspiration for 'All Day Cool'. Combined with lightweight silicone, the Massage Form® provides comfort and maximum security. One wearer commented, "After having worn [breast] forms of all sizes, weights, and shapes for 25 years, the new massage form has proven to be a winner for me. The form connects with my chest wall, and gently massages with each breath I take. It has a cooling effect and there is no shifting in the bra."
All ABC Breast Forms in both the Signature Pink and Persimmon Lines have a 2 Year Manufacturer's Warranty and are packaged in their own Traveling Case, discreet for packing and travel. The beautifully designed geometric storage box neatly contains the Travel Case and stacks well on the shelf.
ABC's Line of Shapers provide symmetry and balance after lumpectomies, breast reconstruction, and breast conserving surgeries. The Line includes a variety of shapes designed to accommodate the different needs of wearers. ABC Shapers have ultra thin edges to provide a seamless transition from the shaper to the skin. The New Massage Form® Shaper is made with the unique channel path design that increases air circulation making this shaper cooler than others. In addition, the design prevents shifting and collapsing and allows it to mold to the contours of the body for a secure fit.
Completing the ABC Line of Breast Forms are the Leisure and Swim Forms primarily used for lounging, sleeping, and exercise during sport and recreational activities.

As with the clothes you wear, the stationery you use makes a statement. When you create and assemble your "stationery wardrobe," keep in mind the impression you hope to make. Your stationery should reflect both your personality and the type of correspondence you're sending.
With that in mind, there are three questions you should ask yourself when creating your perfect stationery wardrobe. Let's dive in, shall we?
What Kind of Paper Should I Use?
How Should My Stationery Be Printed
Stationery for Women
Stationery for Men
What Kind of Paper Should I Use?
This is actually a three-part question, as you need to choose the material from which the paper is made, the color and the types of stationery.
Paper Material
Paper is made from either cotton or wood. The first true papers were made from cotton almost 2,000 years ago. Wood-pulp papers came into being in the 1800s during the Industrial Revolution. They supplanted cotton-fiber papers for many uses because of their lower cost and the seemingly endless supply of trees.
The finest paper, though, is made from cotton. Before you order your stationery, run your fingers across the paper. Stationery made from cotton will have a soft, rich feel. You'll undoubtedly recognize the quality inherent in cotton-fiber papers. Crane's 100% cotton fiber papers have the touch and feel of uncommonly beautiful papers.
Paper ColorStationery comes in many different colors. Ecru (also known as buff, cream, ivory or eggshell) and white stationery, however, are the most popular.
Type of Stationery
You can order several different types of stationery. The two most basic are one for writing notes and one for writing longer letters. While these two items are essential, you may wish to add variations of these two as you build your stationery wardrobe.
How Should My Stationery Be Printed?
Stationery can be engraved, blind-embossed, thermographed or flat-printed.
Engraving is one of the oldest and most beautiful processes for reproducing images on paper. The appeal of engraving lies in the exquisite detail created by its three-dimensional impression. Engraving is produced when the copy is etched in reverse into a copper plate. Ink is deposited in the resulting cavity. The engraving press then forces the paper into the cavity, creating a raised impression. The paper is literally raised, with the ink adhering to the raised surface. The fact that the paper is raised is what distinguishes engraving from thermography and flat-printing.
It's easy to tell if a piece of stationery is engraved. Simply turn it over. If there's an indentation (caused by the pressure from the engraving press), it is engraved. You can also tell by looking closely at the impression on the front. The paper will be smoother there, and the sheet may have a little ripple. This is called the "bruise" and is a natural part of the process.
Engraved stationery is more expensive than thermographed or flat-printed stationery. However, much of the price difference lies in the initial cost of the engraving plate. Since engraving plates can be used over and over again, subsequent orders of engraved stationery cost only a little more than other types of stationery.
Blind Embossing Blind embossing is the same process as engraving minus the ink. The image is simply the raised paper. You might recognize blind embossing as the raised address on the flap of a wedding envelope.
Thermography is sometimes called "raised printing," although the printing is not raised at all. Unlike engraving, where the paper is actually raised, the raise in thermography is created by a resinous powder that is melted over the flat-printed ink. Thermography is less expensive than engraving but, while quite handsome, is not quite as luxurious as engraving.
Flat-printing, as its name implies, is simply ink applied to a flat surface with no raise.
Letter Sheets
Letter sheets, also known as "formal stationery," are the most formal papers in a woman's stationery wardrobe. Historically, they have been ecru or white and have a fold along the left-hand side. (Formal wedding invitations are engraved on letter sheets.) Letter sheets fold again from top to bottom to fit inside an envelope that is approximately half their size. Today letter sheets come in a variety of colored paper stocks.
Blank, unadorned letter sheets are used to reply to formal invitations and for letters of condolence. Because of their simple elegance, letter sheets may be used for any type of correspondence. Letter sheets may be adorned with a coat of arms, a monogram, a name, an address or simply left blank.
Start your letter on the front page of the letter sheet, followed by page three. Do not write on page two or page four, as it's never proper to write on the back of a sheet of paper. On letter sheets, however, some women prefer to start their letters on page one. Then they open up the letter sheet, turn it sideways and write lengthwise across pages two and three.
Half Sheets
Named so because they are half the size of formal letter sheets, half sheets may be embellished with your monogram, name, address, or name and address. Write only on the front of a correspondence sheet, never the back. If you need additional space, use blank second sheets.
Monarch Sheets
Monarch sheets, also known as "executive stationery," are used for longer personal letters and for personal business letters. They measure 7 1/4 x 10 1/2 inches and fold into thirds to fit their envelopes. A name, address or name and address appear at the top of the sheet. Write only on the front of the sheet, never the back. If you need additional space, use blank second sheets.
Fold-Over Notes
Fold-over notes are used to write thank-you notes, extend informal invitations and send short messages to friends and acquaintances. Your monogram or your name may appear on the notes. The monogram or lettering style that will work best for you is the one that best reflects your personality.
Fold-over notes may begin on page one when the imprint is at the top of the note. The note may continue on page three. When the imprint is in the center of the note, the entire message is written on page three, and pages two and four are not used. If you need more space, use a different type of stationery, perhaps a correspondence sheet.
Contrary to their name, informal notes are rather formal. Informals are small white or ecru fold-over notes. They are engraved in black ink and may have a paneled frame. Informals are engraved with a woman's proper social name, preceded by her title. "Mr. & Mrs." is properly used on informals only when issuing an informal invitation from both husband and wife.
Correspondence Cards
One of the most useful items in a stationery wardrobe is the correspondence card. Less formal than notes, these increasingly popular items are used for thank yous, informal invitations and short notes. Correspondence cards are flat, heavy cards that usually measure 4 1/4 x 6 1/2 inches and are mailed in matching envelopes. They can be plain or bordered, depending on your tastes. A name or a small monogram may appear at the top of the card. Write only on the front of the card, never the back. If you need more space, use a different type of stationery, perhaps a correspondence sheet.
House Stationery
House stationery may be properly used by any resident of your house or by any guest staying at your house. Many people keep house stationery at their country and beach homes so that stationery is always available for their guests and for themselves. Only the name of your house or your address appears on the stationery.
Monarch Sheets
Most men use monarch sheets for their personal letters and personal business letters. Also known as "executive stationery," monarch sheets measure 7 1/4 x 10 1/2 inches and fold into thirds to fit their envelopes. Although monarch sheets are available in a variety of colors, most men prefer ecru or white. Many different ink colors are also available, but black, grey and navy blue are most popular among men.
You may display your name, address or name and address at the top of the sheets. The stationery retains a more personal look when you use only your name.
Write only on the front of the sheet, never the back. If you need additional space, use blank second sheets.
Half Sheets
Men who usually do not write long letters may prefer half sheets to monarch sheets. Measuring 6 1/4 x 8 1/2 inches, half sheets are somewhat smaller than monarch sheets and fold in half to fit their envelopes. They may be embellished with your coat of arms, monogram or your name and address. Most men, however, prefer to show their names only.
As with monarch sheets, write only on the front of a correspondence sheet, never the back. If you need additional space, use blank second sheets.
Correspondence Cards Correspondence cards are small (usually 4 1/4 x 6 1/2 inches), heavy, flat cards that are used for thank-you notes and other brief notes. Men generally use these in lieu of fold-over notes. The cards are very practical, and most men find they use many more correspondence cards than sheets.

Arnold O. Beckman, best science museums in country, County Supervisor Pat Bates, Dan Bolar, David Horowitz, Discovery Science Center, DSC's Adopt-A-Class, DSC's Eco Challenge exhibit, Institute of Museum and Library Services, Jack and Mary Norberg, Jim Peterson, Joe Adams, Michael Ramirez, National Medal of Service, OC Waste & Recycling, Renaissance: Celebration of Innovation, Richard and Cheryll Ruzsat, Rick Baily, Sandi and Dale Dykema
You can always count on guests attending the Discovery Science Center's annual gala embracing the theme, and this year was no exception. Dubbed "Renaissance, a Celebration of Innovation," I saw musketeers, beefeaters, popes, padres, knights, court jesters, and ladies dressed in long flowy robes with matching headdresses. There even a few peasants lolling about, and I spotted a Merlin in the crowd with a long white beard! One of my favorites from that period was Robin Hood, and I must admit, Discovery Science Center President Joe Adams looked the spitting image of the heroic outlaw. Thank you, Joe!!
More than 350 guests gathered for the costumed affair at Montage Laguna Beach, where "Black Death" martinis were offered by masked waiters during the alfresco reception. The atmosphere was electric as the crowd of supporters were extolling the honor that Discovery Science Center was accorded this past year – the National Medal of Service from the Institute of Museum and Library Services. I found out later it is the highest honor that can be bestowed upon a museum or library and DSC was one of only six science centers to receive the award since its introduction in 1994. It is also the first California science center to receive the honor. Now, that is something to shout about!
Once guests were seated for dinner in the Renaissance-themed ballroom featuring Venetian statues, white and gold columns flanked by Italian cypress trees and beautiful masquerade-styled table centerpieces, gala co-chairs Richard and Cheryll Ruzsat welcomed everyone and thanked the gala committee and underwriters for their commitment and support.
President Joe Adams and Board Chairman Dan Bolar handled the presentation of the prestigious Arnold O. Beckman corporate and individual awards, named in honor of the late world-renowned scientist, inventor, educator, philanthropist, and business and civic leader, who was a founding donor of DSC. OC Waste & Recycling was the recipient of the Corporate Award for their outstanding leadership and partnership on DSC's Eco Challenge Exhibition promoting recycling and eco-friendly tactics. County Supervisor Pat Bates accepted the award, jokingly saying, "It's not often government gets an award for being innovative."
The Individual Award was presented to Jack and Mary Norberg, who have taken a very active leadership role at Discovery Science Center since 2007. I remember the year they chaired the gala and showed up in clothes made from recyclable materials. They are always fun. Jack commented about their involvement upon accepting the award for he and Mary. "We're doing wonderful things here," he said, "and we're having fun doing it in spite of what I wear!"
The live auction brought active bidding on tempting trips to Lake Como and a week's stay in an Italian villa, as well as a five-day vacation stay at the Grand Wailea resort in Hawaii, including American Airlines airfare. I thought the privately catered dinner by Blueberry Hill with special guest and two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist Michael Ramirez (Ramirez was present!) was such a great prize. Sandi and Dale Dykema, who were gala committee members and underwriters, won the coveted evening for $11,000. The "raise the paddle" part of the auction to support DSC's Adopt-A-Class program was brisk. The monies make it possible for an average of 70,000 students to visit the science center annually from all over Southern California.
DSC's Capital Campaign Co-Chairs Jim Peterson and David Horowitz talked about the science center's $22.5 million, 40,000 sq. ft. expansion, which broke ground on January 6 and will open March, 2015. It will nearly double the center's size. Board Chairman Elect Rick Baily of The Boeing Company said of the expansion, "It will take the Discovery Science Center to the next level."
The dance floor was packed, as it always is at this fun-filled evening, and the best news? More than $420,000 in net proceeds was raised for DSC's Education Fund and its innovative programming. After all, DSC is ranked among the top science centers in the nation with a #1 rating for attendance per square foot and a #3 rating in educational outreach. Hear, Hear!!

Also Wal-Mart always has smashed ones as well. I would guess that the fault lies in Hasbros packaging............wouldnt be the first thing they messed up, first we cant find anything then when we do they are all messed up...........go figure

While AxKit really does rock, unfortunately my current hosting company doesn't quite rock so much. So, anyone who happens to read this and has a mod_perl/ssh capable host that they wouldn't mind giving me some access to, please email me at my username at kde dot org :)
Working on an AxKit version of my website currently. Unfortunately its going kind of slowly. But I do have some working content pages now!
My incremental redesign of Keditbookmarks seems to at last be paying off now.
umm.. my website sucks. officially.
i need to get a good content management solution,
i wonder if one exists that allows me to use xml for content and php for code. umm...
don't feel like writing one this time around,
i'm frustrated enough as it is with my currently stupid xml parser :) ...
at long last my webpage is actually back up
thanks to my friends
at this fine little company that does hotel bookings, called ToBook.com
pretty cool guys actually! :)
hehe. just noticed raph's pointer to the googlism page.
googlisms judgement on me is nice - "lypanov is a developer"
my website is back at last thanks to ToBook.com. yay for them!
working on getting the "check status" stuff in keditbookmarks "flawless" atm. its going quite well, i rewrote quite a lot of it in the process and cleaned up a few other bugs that i found during tested. keditbookmarks is frustating at times due to the complexity involved in d&d, listviews and command lists (i.e undo/redo), but its extremely gratifying work :)
also working on getting roi working in ksvg as its not working slows animations down tons. its really a requirement imo.
At long last i'm back online, and with a new company this time, Verza.com.
Due to many thousands of (good) reasons, i'm going offline until 5th Sep. And from this point on stopping/stalling my KDE development until at least the new year (probably). Bye everyone :)
New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.

Thanks, that's useful to know. Could you have a close look under a magnifying glass and tell me if the capacitors next to the crystal are also missing? I'd probably be able to solder the crystal back on if I needed it, but the capacitors would be impossible.
and I don't understand why all of you get Due's with proper markings and even the jtag header soldered.Seems like one is better off buying from ebay than through official channels, what a shame.
What does the (supposedly official) schematic on the downloads page indicate? RTC xtal or not?
I must admit if plunked down the dough for one of these things at the full official list price, I'd be annoyed if I got one that didn't have the RTC. For $49 + shipping and taxes (and possibly more, depending on where you live) I'd expect something fairly premium, with all the bells and whistles. After all, not exactly cheap for uC dev board, considering the alternatives...
QuoteThanks, that's useful to know. Could you have a close look under a magnifying glass and tell me if the capacitors next to the crystal are also missing? I'd probably be able to solder the crystal back on if I needed it, but the capacitors would be impossible.I can,From Arduino Store now Crystal no capacitors.From eBay Crystal and capacitors.
Thanks again.I tried soldering on a watch crystal by itself and it is not enough - in fact it is worse, only 42 seconds per minute! With capacitors it runs at a more conventional 60 seconds per minute But there is no easy place to solder the capacitors on (I was literally holding them between the crystal and the shielding of the USB port, which can't have helped the accuracy much).
Do we really need to calculate this??? on an product that is randomly shipped with or without crystal?, with or without headers?, with or without labelling on the board?
Well, I bought a board, that I expect to be complete.
And the Story goes on,I have buy just for fun an secound Due from ebay. And now there are the diff.On the Due from ebay is everything the same, the box, the sticker and the package insert it looks in all way like the actuell one with all labels on the surface, except one part it has the Crystal for the RTC on the surface.With this I have make an test I used stimmers Sketch for the http://arduino.cc/forum/index.php/topic,130125.msg980484.html#msg980484 RTC and put this in the void setup to use the external Crystal.Code: [Select]#define SUPC_KEY 0xA5uvoid setup() { Serial.begin(9600); SUPC->SUPC_CR |= SUPC_CR_KEY(SUPC_KEY) | SUPC_CR_XTALSEL;}So there we are if I used the internal RC the RTC lost 5sec in 1 Min so it is nearly 10% to slow with the external Crystal is goes sync with my PC clock.
#define SUPC_KEY 0xA5uvoid setup() { Serial.begin(9600); SUPC->SUPC_CR |= SUPC_CR_KEY(SUPC_KEY) | SUPC_CR_XTALSEL;}

Evgeni Malkin out...but for how long?
We don't yet know exactly how badly Evgeni Malkin was injured after brutally slamming his head into the boards in last night's game against the Panthers. But we do know that our early fears have been confirmed. This, from Rob Rossi at the Pittsburgh Tribune:
Evgeni Malkin is experiencing concussion symptoms, including severe headache and mild disorientation, multiple sources confirmed Saturday. Malkin was injured early in the third period of the Penguins' win over Florida at Consol Energy Center on Friday. He did not finish the game after sliding into the end-zone boards. The back of his head appeared to bounce off the boards, and Malkin's neck snapped back in a seeming whiplash motion.
A team source said Malkin was out of the lineup for Sunday's home game against the Lightning. After that? Who knows. A mild concussion may mean he's out for a matter of days. But as the Pens know all too well from Sidney Crosby's brain injuries, these things can be wildly unpredictable. At this point, we just have to hope for the best.
It's worth noting that no one involved thought that Erik Gudbranson's hit was dirty in any way. "I just finished my check," Gudbranson said after the game. "You never want to see a guy go down. He's in a vulnerable position. But you can't pass up a hit. Its unfortunate that he got hurt on the play, but it's one I'd make every time."

Methylmalonic acid is a substance produced when proteins (called amino acids) in the body break down.
A test can be done to measure the amount of methylmalonic acid in your blood.
A blood sample is needed.
No special preparation is necessary.
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain. Others feel only a prick or stinging. There may be some throbbing or slight bruising. These soon go away.
Your doctor may order this test if there are signs of certain genetic disorders, such as
This test may also be done with other tests to check for a vitamin B12 deficiency.
Normal values are 0.08 to 0.56 micromoles per liter.
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
A higher than normal value may be due to vitamin B12 deficiency or methylmalonic acidemia.
Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Obtaining a blood sample from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:

Let a win slip away.
Let a win slip away.
Miami's gotta figure out Roy Hibbert and David West and quick...
I'm so ****ing god damn pissed right now
I swear to god I want to go punch people in the face right now....****ing god damnit
Are we in trouble? I never have any confidence in anything and this has me crazy. I know it's only 1-1 but this Pacer team is better and more experienced then last year. Rip me a new one but I really do not see us advancing.
It's 1-1, and we could have won this game, this series isn't over as ESPN ect would like it to be, our 3 pointer have to start hitting soon though, it'll probably be a 6 or 7 game series though.
I'm so ****ing nervous for tonight....My stomach is in a knot. I want this championship so bad.
---------- Post added at 11:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:38 AM ----------
Do you guys think we pull this series off?
Great win tonight.
Haslem got his elbow rainbow jumper going early.
Bosh started out hot but got into foul trouble early in the 3rd quarter.
Wade was very active through out the game.
Lebron put a clinic in the post & Indiana refused to double.
We only had 5 turnovers.
86% at the line.

Switching to another distro?
So, I've been thinking recently about switching to another distro so I can get involved with the development community again. The question is which should I try? I've been leaning towards Fedora since I've heard good things about the community over there, and Redhat was my first distro that I seriously used. The other option with a nice community that sticks out is Ubuntu. I don't know many people that use Ubuntu though, so I don't have much feedback on the community.
I'm downloading the Fedora CDs right now to install on an extra computer I have so I can play around with Yum and see how I like it. I may do the same with Ubuntu, but probably not if I like how Fedora works. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to try? Did I miss one that maybe I should look into?
