****Update, October 2009****
Thank you for your interest in the Choo Choo Wagon and Trailer. We made our last production run on the Choo Choo Wagon and Trailer in 2008, and our inventory was depleted in early 2009. The tooling for these products is over ten years old. The molds are outdated and must be rebuilt. We are working on this, but it will take quite some time before we are able to begin production with new tooling.
We realize that the Choo Choo Wagon is particularly popular among parents of multiples, and we are eager to continue offering a wagon specifically designed with their needs in mind. We will be happy to notify you when this product becomes available again in the future. Please let us know if you would like to be on the waiting list.
****Update, February 2009****
Production on the Choo Choo Wagon has once again been suspended. We thank you for your solid support during the last two years it was available, and hope to bring it back again someday!
You've been asking for it, and we've been listening. I'm proud to announce today that the Choo Choo Wagon is making a comeback. We've started preselling it here, and the orders are pouring in!
If you've never heard of the Choo Choo Wagon, it's an expandable wagon that starts with two cars and can accept up to three additional trailers! This means you can easily haul twins, triplets, or more, and still have room for their "stuff". Even better, the ride is a lot more peaceful with each one in their own private car.
This wagon will be available while supplies last only from Step2.com.

It's about time to get the choo choo wagon back! I own and run a triplet parent group called Parents Of Triplets Club and there have been moms on there who have had to go to eBay to get these and pay up to $500! These are like gold and should not be limited but put on continual sale, especially with the boom of multiples in this world. There is no other wagon that can compare for triplets! Thanks for bringing it back and please KEEP IT IN STOCK!

As long as there's healthy demand we'll keep making these wagons, but if demand drops off we might discontinue them again. So buy them while they're available, and let others know about this wagon if you think they'd be interested.

Thank you for bringing the choo choo wagon back! I have been calling and looking for one for months. I have one year old twins and a two year old son and will get great use out of it. There are so many multiples and so few options for getting them all around.
6 Oct 06 at 10:15 pm
I am so happy to see that these are being given a second chance! I am also so happy that they are now including the necessary seatbelts with it (safety should not be extra or optional). I LOVE my choo choo as do my triplets. I take it everywhere and I am constantly asked where to get one. I am happy to be able to send them here rather than the overpriced ebay! The only way to make this wagon better is to put a motor on it…ha ha ha! I am now telling everyone to go online and get them before they sell out! How long is the shipping taking on these? Can the green tag along be attached to it? Just wondering because it would be nice for extra storage.
THANK YOU STEP 2 for an awesome product!

I am very interested in the Choo Choo Wagon but haven't read in any of the descriptions anywhere that it is equipped with seatbelts. I would love to know if it actually is.
8 Dec 06 at 4:59 am
Yes, the newly re-released version of this wagon does include seatbelts.

When will the choo choo trailers be available?
triplet mom 2 B
1 Jun 07 at 2:16 am
That's a great question–we had originally only run a few hundred of these trailers, and we sold them all out. At this time, we're unsure if we'll be making more, but you should know within a month or so: if we're going to keep making them, they'll become available again, and if not, they'll disappear from our website.
1 Jun 07 at 12:26 pm
Please don't discontinue the Choo Choo Trailers. They are so popular and in demand. I know quite a few triplet families that LOVE them and are waiting for them to be available.
1 Jun 07 at 7:02 pm
I just saw the choo choo wagon and trailer the other day and wanted to order it having 4 kids under 4, but they said they are not going to produce them anymore. I searched all over online and it seems like there are a lot of people who want this item, why discontinue it??? Makes no sense, bad decision on someone's part.
2 Jun 07 at 7:03 pm
Unfortunately, the demand of a couple dozen people (vocal as they may be) isn't enough to justify manufacturing and offering any given product. This item has been discontinued before, and was brought back when it was felt that demand was sufficient–I am sincerely sorry for all those who "missed" the opportunity to purchase this wagon during it's second availability, but we are hopeful that it may be resurrected again soon.
4 Jun 07 at 12:44 pm
I live in Ottawa, Ontario.
Why is it that no store in Ottawa sell the CHoo Choo Wagon.
I run a home daycare and I think that alot of Daycares would invest in your product,
Thanks Lisa
27 Sep 07 at 6:35 pm
We're sorry that you can't get that item locally, but the truth is that it's not available locally in the US either. Because this item is popular only for a small niche market, retail stores are hesitant to make it.
We had enough requests from parents and childcare providers to resurrect this item after it had been previously discontinued, but demand is low enough that we only manufacture small batches periodically and only sell them via the web. Sadly, at the present time this excludes our international customers.
If you're really determined to get a Choo Choo Wagon, you can either have a friend or relative from the US receive the item for you (if applicable), or find a local "Mom & Pop"-type store that sells Step2 products and ask if they could include a Choo Choo Wagon for you on their next order.
27 Sep 07 at 10:26 pm
Can you tell me what the weight limits are for the wagon cars, and the overall dimensions once assembled for both the choo choo wagon and choo choo trailer.
4 Mar 08 at 6:10 am
Hi Lisa,
I'm also from Ontario Canada, and I have just received word from Toys R Us that they can 'special order' the choo choo for me!! try giving your local store a call!! I have a home daycare as well and I'm looking forward to carting my crew around in this snazzy wagaon!! Good luck!
23 May 08 at 9:01 pm
Is this wagon still being made? what is the story with it? is there a shortage again?
26 May 08 at 3:42 am
This item is currently being produced periodically in small batches. As long as demand continues it should be available at Step2.com, though there may be occasional periods during which it is unavailable as we await a new production run. While we cannot guarantee future availability, we do understand the current marketplace need, and will continue to produce the Choo Choo Wagon as long as it remains logistically prudent.
27 May 08 at 7:31 pm
Hi .. thanks for the response Andy, being in Canada however I am unable to order from Step.com so I am wondering if any retailers here will be carrying it aside from Toys r us.. as they seem to be out of stock or severely back ordered right now.
Mini Circuit here sells it, but they claim a shortage of product… it's a bit confusing!
31 May 08 at 7:58 pm
In order for us to be able to profitably sell this item, we must wait until we can justify manufacturing a large batch of them at once. This means that there are periodic back orders that will occur, even at Step2.com. Unfortunately, the best advice I can give you is to contact Toys R Us or Mini Circuit and make sure you put your name on the backorder list. Otherwise, if you know someone in the USA who would receive this item for you in the US, you could order from Step2.com.
2 Jun 08 at 2:53 pm
So how can we find out when they become available? Our twins are 6 months old and our oldest is 2. The wagon would be great for the 3 of them.
10 Feb 09 at 10:21 pm
Sorry, but production on this item has been shut down indefinitely. If you are still looking, your best option is to look secondhand.
11 Feb 09 at 10:19 pm
Why would you suspend this product, so many triplet moms want and need it!!!!!!
Nooooooooooooooo don't take it away!!!!!!
14 Feb 09 at 9:36 pm
I have one of these that my girls grew out of. Emailme if interested. firstname.lastname@example.com
17 Feb 09 at 6:41 am
This is crazy! I know so many other moms who want it too and were waiting for their tax refund or for their kids to be born to buy it. Please, please consider bringing it back!
Maybe you should consider taking pre-orders so your potential customers can prove that they really do want it.
18 Feb 09 at 8:31 pm
We would love to continue producing this item, but it is not logistically feasible at this time. If this changes, we hope to bring it back when possible.
18 Feb 09 at 8:32 pm
This is so sad to hear! Every time I take my boys out in their Choo Choo I get asked where I bought it and where they can find one. In the last week alone I'd been asked no less than 10 times. How sad to now have to tell people they can't get one unless they find one used!
18 Feb 09 at 8:54 pm
******** I have one if anyone is intersted. It is used but in excellent condition. Daughters grew out of it. ******** email me at firstname.lastname@example.com
20 Feb 09 at 1:25 am
I have one of these that i will be selling soon. It has 3 wagons. e-mail me if interested: email@example.com
20 Feb 09 at 4:33 am
So Sad. I saw the Choo Choo Wagon around Christmas time. It was always in the back of my head that I wanted it for my triplets, which were not born yet at that time. Now they are too young to use it this summer, but I know I will want one as soon as it becomes available.
21 Feb 09 at 2:29 am
I would love to buy this wagon live in Ottawa, Canada if anyone wants to sell I will pay for shipping… e-mail… email@example.com……. Thank you
21 Feb 09 at 12:25 pm
This is so sad. We love our Choo Choo Wagon (2 yr old twins and a baby). I feel terrible for people who want this and can no longer order it. There is nothing close to this out there as a replacement. So sad.
23 Feb 09 at 5:43 pm
This really is a bad idea to not have this. I have a daycare and was planning on getting it with another attached wagon for it the end of Feb. Im very disappointed!!!
25 Feb 09 at 5:11 pm
please bring it back!!!!!!!
Jenn Maron
28 Feb 09 at 4:19 am
Please bring back the Choo choo wagon. We have three families that have triplets and that was our planned 1 year old birthday present. They should NEVER stop production!!! There is no other wagon available for triplets and quads!!!!!! I say KEEP IT IN STOCK!!! We want three wagons – 9 cars!!!!

1 Mar 09 at 7:23 pm
I have been looking for a choo choo wagon since seeing one on TV. If anyone has one available and is willing to ship please contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
2 Mar 09 at 1:16 am
PLEASE bring it back!!!!!
2 Mar 09 at 2:40 pm
I would really like these cars to come back. It would be nice for each car to have an underseat storage for a pull up and pants for the trips to the park when sometimes they don't make it.
2 Mar 09 at 2:46 pm
Please, please bring back the Choo choo wagon. I have three sets of triplets and 1 set of quads. who want them!!! This is the great item for parents of multiple and the number of multiples in the USA has been growing greatly in the past few years!! They seem to be in BIG demand! Please bring them back!!! We would even pre-order!!
2 Mar 09 at 10:10 pm
We understand that there is still some demand for this product, but this isn't the best place for you to voice your concerns in this matter. If you would like to let us know that you'd like this item to be brought back into production, please send us your contact information via the "Contact Us" form on our Help site.
If we do bring this item back and you have provided contact information, we will let you know.
3 Mar 09 at 5:24 am
Please bring this item back. I was waiting until spring to buy this for my 15 month old triplets. We have been told it is so helpful for multiple parents!
3 Mar 09 at 6:03 pm
We have a couple of the orange trailers. They are new, still in the boxes. E-mail, if you are interested. firstname.lastname@example.com
9 Mar 09 at 2:44 am
well i just filled out a contact us form i hope it works i would love one of these and you can't find them any where ebay is even out =( my girls saw one at the zoo and have been asking for it i'm so upset i hope the bring it back
9 Mar 09 at 2:47 am
Yes I am also so saddened by this! I have one but wanted to add another trailer onto it, and my other friends who run daycares want to buy them too! I really hope these come back, way too many people want them!!
10 Mar 09 at 4:18 am
I am so disappointed that I cannot get the choo choo wagon anymore!? Well I could get in on ebay if I wanted to pay $500, people are cruel and greedy. PLEASE bring this back in stock! I am the mother of 8 month old triplets and this is a MUST have!
PLEASE PLEASE my triplets BEG you BRING THE CHOO CHOO WAGON BACK!!
20 Mar 09 at 6:06 pm
Bring it back! I also am the mother of triplets and this is a must have for us! People are selling them on ebay and craigslist for way above marker price and their USED!
22 Mar 09 at 12:53 pm
I would also love to have a choo choo wagon.I have twins that will turn 1 in May.If anyone knows of anyone looking to get rid of theirs I would love to be emailed. firstname.lastname@example.com
23 Mar 09 at 6:39 pm
I know why the demand wasn't great enough to continue producing the choo choo wagon….the marketing! I have 21 month old twins and a 4 month old baby. I had never heard of or seen the choo choo wagon until stumbling across it on ebay earlier this month. Why wasn't it advertised better? I absolutely want to buy one, preferably with 2 extra trailers. PLEASE bring it back before the summer! You are losing SOOOOO much money to the people who are taking advantage of the situation and selling their used ones for $300-$500!!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!! Raising multiples is hard enough, don't take away a tool that would help make life a little easier!
24 Mar 09 at 2:52 am
I am having my fourth child in August and she'll be 14 months younger than my son. I also have a very small 6 y/o and lots of stuff to bring along on outings. I would really like to see this brougth back into production!!! People are making a fortune off this with a resale value being anywhere from $550.00 – $850.00. This is a shame in this economy that the public is getting ripped off by others because your company stopped production. BE SMART AND START MAKING THIS AGAIN!!!!
25 Mar 09 at 10:23 pm
BRING BACK THE CHOO CHOO!!! I'm having twins in JUNE. I cant afford to buy it on EBAY. PLEASE BRING IT BACK.
25 Mar 09 at 10:24 pm
I have an inhome childcare and I just bought the first two parts of the wagon but can not find the orange part. I really need two for all the kids to get a ride to the park up the street from our house. If anyone can help me even with one please let me know. The kids would be so happy they are all about 18 months.

1 Apr 09 at 4:26 am
Why can't you have people pre-order these wagons and when you get enough orders than make them! In this economy most companies would be dancing in the streets if people were begging for a product! Raising multiples is hard and these things make our life so much easier. I refuse to let someone rip me off and pay $500 on ebay!
2 Apr 09 at 3:45 am
Just tell me….Is there any hope of the Choo Choo wagon coming back anytime soon? I don't want to drop a ton of money on one, and then find out Step2 brought them back a month later. Please give me a little hope!!!
2 Apr 09 at 4:45 am
The Choo-Choo wagon is not scheduled to resume production in the immediate future. We thank you for your support concerning this item, and will keep looking for ways to make it feasible to resume production!

Who is in charge of deciding if the choo choo wagon is made? I would like to know so I can write to them. I can't believe how many people want this and there is no plan to mfg it. This is really strange to me. These things are selling for up to $800 on ebay.
4 Apr 09 at 2:38 am
Aww! This is certainly a bummer. I have 6 month old quadruplets and planned to get one of these for their first birthday. BUMMER! Hey, as long as production is haulted, what do you say you go back to the drawing board and add an optional sun canopy to the cars. Just a thought.

I'm so glad we bought our choo choo wagon last year. We've been using it almost every nice day since our 16 month old quadruplets were about 7 months old (we would prop them with boppys or bumbos to keep them upright). I would say, without hesitation, that the Choo Choo is the BEST multiples product we've purchased since the babies were born! And that beats out ALOT of other products.
EVERYONE asks where we bought it and how they can get one, and I always referred them to the Step2 website. It's a shame they're halting production…is it just a ploy to increase demand? I guess I can be comforted to know resell value will be excellent.
I'm with jag….maybe the manufacturers should go back the the drawing board before bringing it back. I'd love to be on a customer feedback panel for it's redesign! Canopies would be nice, but so would different color options for the trailers. And underseat storage in EACH of the trailers.
I hope that they decide to bring it back soon. It has saved our family's sanity….seriously.

Unfortunately, the reason is not as simple as holding off to increase demand. I can't really go into detail, but some considerable financial investment would have to go into bringing this item back into production, and therefore requires some very strong sales projections. Feel free to send letters to the address I recently posted, or use our help site to submit a request that we bring it back, as feedback from the public is a good indicator of demand.

I would like to order the Choo Choo Wagon, but I am unable to add to a shopping cart and check out. Is there a way to order it? I have recently read comments that it is back in production, only to find I cannot order it. I do not understand. Sincerely Ramona B
23 Dec 09 at 9:03 am
Ramona and others,
Comments are still pouring in on this post, and I find myself repeating the same information, so I'm going to summarize here and stop publishing comments on this post:
* The Choo Choo Wagon is not currently in production, and not available for sale. There is a link in the post above to be put on a list to be notified if it becomes available.
* Step2 will bring this item back if/when it is feasible to do so. We understand your desire to own this item, and suggest you sign up at the link in the post above if you want it to resume production more quickly.
* We have stopped posting comments from those wanting to buy or sell this wagon secondhand. If you would like to buy or sell a Choo Choo Wagon secondhand, please explore other alternatives such as garage/yard sales, newspaper classified ads, Craigslist, eBay, etc.
Thanks again for your support for this wagon!
30 Dec 09 at 7:55 pm
I would like to purchase the choo choo with 3 cars attached. I would like to see a removable canopy added, storage in each car (like the purple one), love the cupholders, a locking door like on the coupe would be wonderful, the middle car to be an add on just like the orange car would make it easier to buy two choo choo's second hand and make it into one long wagon. I like that the wagon does not have any stickers that get ruined and fall off. Simple is best. I keep trying to get on the waiting list, but the website says my email is already in use, but when I try to get a new password it says it cant find one.

Hi I was wondering when this Item will be returning?? I am in need of one really bad!!!!
Thanks JB
1 Apr 10 at 10:06 pm
Our initial estimates are that it will be available this fall. Some revisions are being made, but at this time the Choo Choo Wagon is still in its engineering phase, so we do not know specific details. Further details will be posted as they become available!
5 Apr 10 at 8:03 pm
Hi there!
I have an orginal I bought off craiglist, but really need a thrid car. Is it possible that the new additions will fit the old style?
It's possible, but given that it's still in the engineering phase we don't have any concrete information. If you contact Step2 Customer service in a few months they may be able to provide you with further details.
21 Apr 10 at 1:40 am
I am reading the the choo choo wagon is coming back this fall. If this is for sure I will hold off on buying a used one and buy brand new!:-)
These wagons are great for more than 2 kiddies!!
25 May 10 at 7:12 pm
Glad to hear you might have some more of these wagons soon. I would love to purchase one for my triplets. They will be ready to use one by the fall. Every mother of triplets that I have talked to says this wagon is their best friend.
29 May 10 at 5:04 pm
I would love to see this item brough back. Ebay is asking $550+ for these!!! I have 3 under 4 and need something for when we go out and my 4 yr old get's tired of walking! Can you use the regular plus 2 wagon with the trailer for a child? That would be my only other option
30 May 10 at 9:04 pm
Please Please bring the choo choo BACK. Today I drove over 2 hours to see one that they had on craigslist for 300dls and it was really not worth it, not even 100dls. Please bring it back. I have three kids under 4 years old. I really need one. If anyone finds a website or if they come back please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com Thanks
30 May 10 at 10:50 pm
I have a choo choo wagon seats 5 I am looking to sell in florida, if you are intrested you can contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com
17 Jun 10 at 3:58 pm
I would really love to have a Choo Choo Wagon. I'm in Sacramento,Ca. If anyone has one they'd like to sell I'd love to buy it from you my email is firstname.lastname@example.com. It's a shame that Step 2 isn't going to follow thru & have these out by fall as stated before. I refuse to pay an arm & a leg on Ebay. So in the mean time I guess I'll get a Radio Flyer wagon. Bummer because I really want one of these.
Any news on the choo choo wagon coming out anytime this summer or until the end of the year? Thanks
1 Jul 10 at 11:51 pm
any updates on when the choo choo wagon may be available?
6 Jul 10 at 6:12 pm
Need to choo choo badly. Me and my 4 friends and my cousin are waiting for its arrival. when is it going to come back
Hi! Andy. I really need the wagon. When do you think the product will be back again?
26 Jul 10 at 7:56 pm
I hope Step 2 will "Step-Up" and produce this thing already…
Hoping to get by Christmas
27 Jul 10 at 2:48 pm
Bring it back PLEASE!!
27 Jul 10 at 3:39 pm
We are all waiting patiently, any news yet on the return of the CHOO CHOO WAGON, from a mother of triplets.
11 Aug 10 at 11:50 am
Any news on the choo choo and trailer. I would love to have it for my triplet's one year birthday in October!

The room was clean, the beds were comfy, and the showers were nice. All the staff were friendly and accommodating. We were late for breakfast and the staff helped me get something to eat and helped with finding milk for my kids. I would stay here again when passing through Newnan.

Over the last few years, and since setting out on my own in 2009 I have had the privilege of working for a range of organisations and individuals who are kind enough to write the following testimonials:
We employed Stephen Carrick-Davies as a consultant for ictQATAR in 2012 to help us develop our National Cyber Safety Strategy. This 6 month project involved Stephen producing a strategic vision document and a full implementation work plan. What we particularly appreciated about Stephen's approach was that he took the time to consultant carefully with a very wide range of different stakeholders here in Qatar - including running sessions with pupils in local schools - so as to understand the particular cultural sensitivities and dynamics here in Qatar. Bringing together a diverse range of stakeholders to consult, agree and then fully 'own' the strategy was what has made this piece of work particularly effective. The 18 discrete work packages which Stephen proposed under 5 strategic aims provides us with an excellent 'road map' to follow in our aim of ensuring that all citizens in Qatar use the internet in a safe and responsible manner. Stephen's wealth of experience in pioneering internet safety work in the UK, combined with his people-skills, enthusiasm, diplomacy and commitment to partnership make him an ideal consultant, and I am very pleased to recommend Stephen as a consultant to other government agencies wanting to develop similar Cyber Safety strategies and ICT projects".

District Railway woman ticket collector at Earl's Court Underground station during the First World War.
Unknown photographer, 1915-1919
Image no: U28076
Inventory no: 1998/36815
20th Century London caption: This woman ticket collector is punching a ticket at Earl's Court station. She has been employed by the Underground Electric Railways of London, the first company to employ women. In March 1915, a temporary policy of 'women substitutes' was passed, and women were recruited to fill the jobs of men who had been called up to fight in the First World War. Women were employed to carry out a variety of station-based jobs, such as lift attendants, porters and ticket collectors. Although the men and women who worked for the transport companies were civilians, during the air raids that started in March 1915 they had to carry on, through darkened streets, much like the police or the fire brigade. The people who kept London moving under adverse and dangerous conditions earned great respect from other Londoners.

You can use the view matrix to do it.
plug the corners of the screen into the x and y coordinate and you achieve worldspace vectors for the corners of the screen, and these make the frustrum planes.
void inverse_project(MAT view, MAT proj, float x, float y, float width, float height, VEC &orig, VEC &dir) { D3DXVECTOR3 vPickRayDir; D3DXVECTOR3 vPickRayOrig; D3DXMATRIX matProj; matProj=proj; // Compute the vector of the pick ray in screen space D3DXVECTOR3 v; v.x = ( ( ( 2.0f * x ) / width) - 1 ) / matProj._11; v.y = -( ( ( 2.0f * y ) / height) - 1 ) / matProj._22; v.z = 1.0f; // Get the inverse view matrix D3DXMATRIX matView, m; matView=view; D3DXMatrixInverse( &m, NULL, &matView ); // Transform the screen space pick ray into 3D space vPickRayDir.x = v.x*m._11 + v.y*m._21 + v.z*m._31; vPickRayDir.y = v.x*m._12 + v.y*m._22 + v.z*m._32; vPickRayDir.z = v.x*m._13 + v.y*m._23 + v.z*m._33; vPickRayOrig.x = m._41; vPickRayOrig.y = m._42; vPickRayOrig.z = m._43; orig=vPickRayOrig; dir=vPickRayDir; }
plug the corners of the screen into the x and y coordinate and you achieve worldspace vectors for the corners of the screen, and these make the frustrum planes.

Hello from the Summer Sunset Festival organizing committee, and thanks for your interest in the 2013 event. This is the 13th year for the Festival which runs August 30, 2013 through September 1, 2013. The Festival has become a huge and popular community event.
You can bring the kids and enjoy events like the Parade and Kids' Korner. All ages will love the Tilt-a-Whirl, Ferris Wheel and other Carnival Rides, and we have several rides for the little ones, too. With or without the kids, come enjoy the Live Music on Friday, Saturday or Sunday nights.
Stroll through the Craft Show on Saturday, with over 30 exhibitors of home-made, quality items, and come back Sunday and stroll through the Business EXPOsure to see what local businesses have to offer. Then stick around for delicious Food from some of the area's finest restaurants.
The Summer Sunset Festival is FREE to enter to enjoy live music every evening on the main stage and most other events. Attractions you can spend money on are Food, Beverages, and the Carnival.
Be sure to be at Sunset Park on Sunday night for McHenry County's best Fireworks show. Bring a blanket and some lawn chairs, because there is lots of room just south of the parking area to sit and watch the display, which will be almost directly overhead.
We are in the early planning stages. Check back to this website in the Spring of 2013 for more information including applications for events. As soon as we have information to share we will post it here.
Be sure to check out our Facebook page, to stay in touch, and see pictures from this year's festival.

These three handwritten pages on two sheets, measuring 7.5" x 4.75", are marked with Kensington Palace letterhead and dated to 24 August 1987. The letter is written to Janet Filderman, Diana's personal beautician.
I did so love our lunch today - You'd gone to enormous trouble to make it special & indeed it was. I felt heaps better after being with you - All that you said made an awful lot of sense & having your encouragement & support means the world to me, especially as I know that your life cannot be easy & I have tremendous admiration in the way that you help so many of your ladies!
Thank you more than I can say for being my friend & for caring - I promise that I will get you here for lunch next time as I introduce William & Harry to you! With so much love & special thanks, Janet
This deeply personal note demonstrates Diana's frame of mind, how she needs and appreciates her friendship and how she is gracious in her thanks.
She proudly mentions her two young sons and conveys great respect for her friend. Personal issues are alluded to in her need for encouragement and support. This letter was written just after Charles had resumed an affair with a previous girlfriend.
Diana's distinctive autograph is written at the close, underlined and marked in black pen.

L&L Kiln News & Announcements
Home >
Ergo-Lift kilns are designed to provide you with easy and ergonomic loading while providing the advantages of a top loading kiln.
L&L Kiln Mfg., Inc. introduces the Corona Kiln. This fiber-lined kiln reaches 2012 Deg F. Heat up time is quick: 15 minutes to 1600°F; 30 minutes to 1900°F. Inside dimensions are 7-3/4" wide by 8-1/4" deep by 5-3/4" high. It weighs 35 pounds and ships by UPS or FedEx.
Four wraps of large massive elements in each 9" high section
School-Master kilns are specifically designed for schools and include a Five-Year Warranty and the One-Touch Intuitive Kiln Control for simple operation.
The eQuad-Pro Series features L&L's new Quad element system with four rows of elements per 9" section and very heavy gauge elements, DynaTrol with Dynamic Zone Control, extra power with branch fusing for high production work, type K 8 gauge thermocouples with ceramic protection tubes.
8 cubic foot Hercules Front-loading kiln features arched roof (with 4-1/2" of hard K25 brick), heavy-duty case, door elements and zone control.
Intuitive One-Touch™ control for schools, hobbyists and contemporary studios. You can easily fire most bisque and glaze programs typically used in schools and studios without any programming knowledge.
Stainless Steel spring hinge makes the kiln lid feather-lite and allows for unobstructed loading of kiln (because the lid does not hang over the open kiln when in the up position).
The needs of our customers inspire constant new innovations, designs and improvements. Although much of this is "under the hood" some of the more interesting and noteworthy are detailed here.

31 Responses to "Justice Roberts was clever" rationalizations – too clever
"………Thinker said that Robert's move thwarts liberal critics who say the Court leans too much to the right…….."
In other words Roberts was AFRAID of the liberal backlash he would get,….
so he gave us a tap dance instead;…….
well I must admit, I too see a silver lining in this decision.
Let this be a lesson to all us conservatives to never again rely on the courts……
to do what we must do for ourselves.
Get out there and get involved, because if you think that………
just going to the polls once every four years is all that has to done,……..
than you are part of the problem.
Welcome to Amerika!
Thanks Mr. Roberts, we won't forget you! Your name will be detested for ever!
Morning my friend.
There are good things which come from Roberts. Look at how angry the people are. This decision will get the vote out, in force against this tyranny. It is the water cooler talk all across this once great nation.
We still have time and all is not lost.
I just don't trust Romney. I will vote for him but I just don't
believe he will come through?-
He is a moderate, but he is not a Progressive.
If we get a Conservative House and Senate, he will go along with them.
Funny, as I once heard him describe himself as a Progressive, but that could have been before he knew what it really meant…
I hope you're right my friend, I hope you're right.
We need strong leadership in Congress. We must let our voice be heard as they organize for the new session.
Boehner and Roberts both come from the same mold it turns out.
Does Justice Roberts golf?
Hey! Don't blame it on golf.
Golf isn't a bad thing just because Obama is abusing it. I know…..
Your toy troll is so amusing.
I haven't toyed with him here.
And usually John pulls his comments faster than this.He's like a crackhead in an illegal lab this morning.
I didn't mean to imply that you toyed with him but he is a toy and he is a troll and he is yours (in a manner of speaking)
Lucky you (grin)
Oh brother, you said it. Gold Bond isn't good enough to deal with that rash.
I don't trust him either, but if it means getting rid of Obama then we don't have a choice. Who knows? Romney might actually surprise us….
At least he won't visit mosques and give al qaida safe havens with lots of oil revenue like Obama did with Libya.
These marxist muslim types are bad news. Going up against that we don't have any real choices.
That's how I feel, you have really bad choice for president in Obumble and not a very good "less" dangerous selection in Romney. I guess we aren't left with much.
It's like going to a bakery and they have two options.
Tofu plankton nut loaf or last years fruitcake. Choose wisely………..
What? Only two choices? Don't tell me they are all out of the glazed broccoli doughnuts today.
Have you watched the southpark episode where they are given a choice for school mascot and told to choose between two bad ones?
Romney has exhibited the propensity to listen. He is a bit of a chameleon but I have much more in common with him than I do with Obama. Romney was not raised and mentored by communists.
I was going to the poll anyway with a heavy heart due to my lack of excitement with Romney. Going there mad isn't going to increase the vote tally. We must encourage fence sitters to join us.
If you put chocolate syrup on a turd it's still a turd… This was a bad decision and I don't the Right won anything but a big F-U…
I agree. I believe the folks doing all the screaming were already chomping at the bit to vote for Romney and take and hold congress. Roberts demented decision will only hurt this country more.
This is the fuel Americans needed to re-energize and restore the Republic. Very much like how baraky became the world's greatest gun salesman four years ago…..
Yes, everything about Robert's decision seems bizarre on the surface but, look at the effect it is having upon We The People….
It takes a "bright" mind to screw this decision up so completely. It takes a "bright" mind to side step the CLEAR and OBVIOUS decision.
If you took 12 random people picked out of the phone book from Topeka KS and asked them, "Does the federal gov't have the power to make you drink a quart of cow piss every day or face a penalty/tax?" the decision would be rapid, accurate and immediate. This is NO F***ING DIFFERENT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes Sir S23! I LOVE your analogy… PerfectO!!!
Rage is beautiful, in that for some folks it enhances the ability to clarify, process and express thought…

Please tell me a little bit about yourself.
I'm an instructor at the Alberta College of Art + Design where I teach in Printmedia, Fibre and First Year Studies. I enjoy teaching and even when I don't, I get some great stories to tell about frustrating people doing weird things. I'm also the current president of the Alberta Printmakers' Society because I love print and believe it to be a vital and spectacular medium. Non-art extras: I am a 2nd dan black belt in Tae Kwon Do and currently train as a light blue belt in Shorinji-Kan Jiu Jitsu. I also have a small parrot named Charlie who gives me enough stories about his over-enthusiasm and minimal vocabulary to pepper the most boring parts of my demos with hilarious anecdotes thus saving my students from droning-on demo hell. He also often asks "What are you doing?" which reminds me to get off Facebook.
Where did you study? What kind of an influence has this had on your practice?
I completed my BFA at the University of Calgary and my MFA at the University of Alberta, an all-Alberta all the time schooling. My BFA gave me a work ethic and a foundation in print. My MFA pushed my practice out of where I was comfortable and into diverse ways of visual thinking. Many of the connections that I made and experiences that I've had continue to influence my practice. I'm much less afraid about trying new approaches to making making work and try to consider what medium best suits my concept rather than trying to force my concepts into one medium or another simply because I like it.
What have you been doing since graduating?
I have been learning to re-invent my practice many times over, trying new ways of making work. I was the technician at the U of C for a couple of years and have now taught at ACAD for the past six or so. I've volunteered on the board of A/P for six years and taught in community centres. I've travelled when I can and have been through parts of central America, Asia and Australia. Its such an amazing way to get out of a rut and to just experience new things rather than worrying about the same old same old. I was invited to sit on the jury for the 8th Biennale Internationale D'Estampe Contemporaine de Trois Rivieres this past fall which was an amazing experience. The entire process was conducted in french which will please my grade school teachers greatly. I even gave an artist-talk in french which was a bit strange as certain concepts and words don't quite translate but thinking about my work in such a concentrated way and working out new ways to speak about ideas (especially when the words don't flow as easily) was an excellent experience. I've also done the usual boring grown-up stuff like get married, buy a house and invest in RRSP Mutual Funds.
What are some of the significant themes and ideas in your work?
I have worked a lot with miniatures and am interested in the concentrated way that we can project ourselves into these small spaces. I've been working lately with making work where the inside and the outside aren't clearly distinguishable. Blurred spaces have this way of indicating both abandonment and invitation (since abandoned spaces are ones that you can explore) and I like the juxtaposition of very modern looking architecture with natural elements. In both my prints and my sculpture I try to create a sense of collapsed time, where its difficult to tell if a space is in the process of being built or torn down. Much of my recent work is a response to these cookie cutter neighbourhoods that are so popular in Calgary. I lived in one for awhile and the most interesting places were the ones under construction so I started trying to save them from becoming as boring as the structures next to them in my work.
What struggles do you face in your practice? Do you have any insecurities while making your work?
Time. Specifically, finding enough of it. It would be great to be able to work (or relax) instead of sleep but I hear meth has some serious consequences so I will just continue as I am. The exhibition that I currently have up at Stride was a departure for me as it involves electronics and programming language which is way outside of my comfort zone. In making it, I kept having large pauses in making the work. I was unsure of it and what to do with it. In general, there's always the little awkward voice in my head that repeats phrases like: "is this interesting? Is my work moving forward? Why can't you stop eating Lindt dark chocolate with sea salt?"
Who are some other artists whose work you are interested in or influenced by?
David Hoffos' work made an impression on me a long time ago and continues to impress me with its inventiveness and immersive qualities. I love Julie Mehretu complex images relating to the city. Doris Salcedo's complex tributes to disappeared people move me greatly and exemplify the power of everyday objects to make strong statements. Sean Caulfield's prints and collaborative projects push the limits of print with beautiful, strange images and technical prowess.
What kind of music do you listen to while working in the studio, if any?
I mostly listen to podcasts in the studio as the repetitive nature of print making is well suited to listening to stories as you work. My favourites are This American Life, 99% Invisible, The Memory Palace and Planet Money. When I need to concentrate more, I range from Max Richter, Joanna Newsom (engaged to Andy Samberg WHAT) and the Tune Yards to music with a dancy beat like Azealia Banks and Jay-Z (despite my inability to relate to the life of a p i m p) to get me through late-night printing sessions.
What are some of your favorite things to do in Calgary? Places to eat? Galleries to visit? Way to spend a day off?
I am mostly a boring homebody as it allows me to re-charge and get work done; I am chronically busy. I also have a tree house in my yard so that I can spy on my neighbour's pigeons (true story: he raises show pigeons and racing pigeons) so my house is pretty interesting to me except when I have dishes to do (which is almost always so take that how you will). I make the circuit of artist-run centres when I can and have a few restaurant faves such as The Coup, Namskar and Shikiji.
Do you have any upcoming exhibitions or projects?
My work is currently being shown in the Project Room at Stride Gallery (www.stride.ab.ca) until March 22nd (the work was funded by the Alberta Foundation for the Arts). My work is in some touring exhibitions right now including BIMPE VI (next stop Kelowna), Global Matrix III, and the 8th British International Miniprint exhibition. An exchange exhibition between Taiwanese printmakers and Canadian printmakers is currently being organized by Guy Langevin in Trois Rivieres and is just in the beginning planning stages for 2014. I also have prints at Pomp and Circumstance in downtown Calgary if you want to see some of my work in real life.

Portimao, Portugal
2013 World Superbike Calendar Finalized, Silverstone, Portimao and Imola Confirmed, Istanbul Added
After already having staged the first race, the World Superbike calendar has finally been updated and lost its provisional status. Today, the FIM issued an official, finalized version of the 2013 World Superbike calendar, confirming the changes we reported on yesterday.
The Silverstone race has been confirmed, and the Subject To Contract status has been removed from the Portimao and Imola rounds. The round originally scheduled for June 23rd has been scrapped, and a new round scheduled for Istanbul Park on September 15th. The replacement of Istanbul Park for the 23rd June round, for which Brno had originally been penciled in, means that the Superstock calendar is reduced by one round, from 10 races to just 9, while the World Superbike calendar now has 15 rounds planned, including two races in the UK, at Donington and Silverstone, and a trip across the Atlantic to Laguna Seca.
Below is the official press release issued by the FIM containing the updated and finalized calendar:
FIM Superbike, Supersport World Championships & FIM Superstock 1000cc Cup
New round on the 2013 calendar
2013 World Superbike Calendar Updated Again
The FIM today issued a press release confirming the news that the Indian round of World Superbikes has been moved to November 17th, as we reported earlier today. Below is the official press release:
FIM Superbike, Supersport World Championships & FIM Superstock 1000cc Cup
2013 Provisional calendar, updated 15 January (Change in bold)
The World Superbike race in India has been moved from the 10 March to the 17 November due to an insufficient period of time to properly finalise the training of the marshals and medical staff around the racetrack. FIM representatives will be at the Indian track on 19, 20 and 21 this January, in order to carry out the final racetrack homologation and provide the relevant seminars about the different aspects involved in the sporting organisation of the event.
2013 World Superbike Calendar - Finalized
FIM Superbike, Supersport World Championships & FIM Superstock 1000cc Cup
New round on the 2013 calendar
A new round will be included in the FIM Superbike & Supersport World Championships. It will be held on the circuit of Intercity Istanbul Park near Istanbul (Turkey) on September 15, 2013. The 2013 updated calendar is the following:
2012 World Superbike Championship Standings After Round 13, Portimao
2012 World Supersport Championship Standings After Round 13, Portimao
2012 Portimao World Superbike And World Supersport Sunday Post-Race Press Releases
Press releases from the World Superbike and World Supersport teams, as well as the WSBK organizers, after Sunday's races at Portimao in Portugal:
2012 Portimao WSBK Sunday Round Up: An Undulating Track Gave Us Ups And Downs
In a weekend where championships could be determined, the weather decided once more that it needed to leave its mark. With wind and rain, the Superstock 1000 race had to be moved to late afternoon and races had to be held with only dry set up time.
2012 Portimao WSBK Race Two: The Fickle Finger Of Fate
Race Two was declared dry and the weather would no longer play a part in this weekend's racing.
2012 Portimao World Supersport Race Result: The Fight For The Title
Kenan Sofuoglu only needed to finish fourth to earn his third World Supersport title. With a damn but drying track, one would expect him to ride conservatively and take no risks. Anyone that follows Supersport racing, knows that's not what was going to happen.
2012 Portimao WSBK Race One: The Title Fight Goes On
The rains visited Portugal in the morning and the Superstock 1000 race was pushed back to late afternoon. Race one was run as a wet race and all but one rider started with full wet tyres.
2012 Portimao World Superbike And World Supersport Saturday Post-Qualifying Press Releases
Press releases from the World Superbike and World Supersport teams, as well as the WSBK press office, after qualifying at Portimao:
2012 Portimao WSBK Saturday Round Up: Forget Next Year, This One Isn't Over Yet
As teams announce new lineups and new tracks are added to the 2013 calendar this weekend, one could easily be forgiven for thinking the 2012 season has finished. With two races to go, and one hundred points still up for grabs, nothing could be further than the truth.
2012 Portimao World Supersport QP2 Results
World Supersport qualifying at the penultimate round, Portimao.
2012 Portimao WSBK Superpole Results
Superpole was dry at Portimao, even though rain has been slated as a possibility for tomorrow.
2012 Portimao WSBK FP2: Biaggi Fastest In Free Practice
Max Biaggi once again holds off Tom Sykes to set the fastest time of the session. Leon Haslam and Marco Melandri swap places from this morning's session and Carlos Checa breaks into the top eight. As the Superpole places were decided this morning, most riders would have used this session for setup and tyre tests, but Melandri should start getting worried about Biaggi retaining the title lead about now.

Oil is often referred to as 'black gold,' a commodity so important that countries are willing to go to war over it.
But Steven Renzetti thinks there's another natural resource right under our very noses that is also priceless, and most of us don't even consciously think about.
It's water, and aside from the fact that we'd all die without it, it's also vital for everything from irrigating all those golf courses and vineyards in Niagara and watering livestock to less tangible things such as making Niagara an attractive place to live because of all the waterfront vistas.
"This is an important asset," said Renzetti, an economics professor at Brock University. "This is a blue economy. It runs on water."
Canadians famously use up vast volumes of freshwater compared to most of the rest of the world, whether it's how often we flush our toilets and how long we shower to how much we dump on our lawns to make them green. Here in Niagara, where we're virtually surrounded by Great Lakes, the Niagara River, the Welland Canal and countless other rivers, streams and lakes, it would be especially easy to take our freshwater for granted.
But a new study being conducted by Brock researchers on behalf of the Region's WaterSmart program is expected to show that water, like any limited, precious resource, must be managed and protected in a responsible way.
The study, which has already involved substantial consultation with a variety of stakeholders such as different levels of government, conservation authorities and industrial users of water, is expected to be released early in 2013.
'Liquid Assets,' the study by Brock's Environmental Sustainability Research Centre, is being described as the first comprehensive assessment of what's known about the area's water supply and demand, and its role in our economy.
Diane Dupont, another economics professor at Brock who's involved in the study along with Renzetti and Julia Baird, a post-doctorate researcher, said climate change is no longer disputable: global warming is here to stay, and it will inevitably have impacts such as more unpredictable storms and droughts. But to help us prepare for global warming, first we have to know more about our water supply and usage patterns, she said.
"How can we move forward if we don't know where we are now?" she asks.
Renzetti said potential changes to our water such as fluctuating or changing lake levels could have massive impacts on things such as infrastructure. Water intakes, for instance, might have to be redesigned, and floodwater mapping altered to prevent destructive flooding of low-lying areas in the face of more severe storms.
"The old one in 100 year (storm model) just got thrown out," he said.
Katelyn Vaughan, the project manager for the Region's Niagara Water Strategy, said the report will help to identify threats to our water supply and identify potential conflicts such as competing uses and overlapping government policies.
Renzetti said water is central to the economy, and can either allow or limit future growth. In oil-rich Calgary, for instance, communities are already facing barriers to growth because demand for water from the Bow River is already exceeding supply, he said.
"We could be there in 20 years," he said.
Renzetti said having a vision for things such as waterfronts can also transform cities or regions. He cited Chicago, a city that once had a waterfront that "no-one would go near" 20 years ago. Through smart planning, that area has been transformed, he said.
"Now it's a jewel."

The 4/17/12 Wall Street Journal reported that smokers who quit the habit will have a 50% lower risk of a heart one year later; heart attacks strike 935,000 Americans every year, killing 133,000 of them, and another 300,000 die of sudden cardiac arrest—often because they didn't get help in time.
American Medical News reported on 4/16/12 that nearly 1.6 million Americans received hospice care in 2010, up from about 25,000 in 1082, according to statistics from the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization. About 85% of 300+ bed hospitals have palliative care teams.

A recent viral email scam circulated and credited Johns Hopkins University as its source, stating that there was a new "cancer update," and claimed that doing something as simple as converting to a vegan diet would starve cancer cells. It may have been believed because it had fluid tips that "you are almost positive you've heard somewhere, from someone, or even read before."
The email goes on to state that everyone has cancer cells in their bodies that may become active approximately six to eight times in a person's lifetime. It suggests that "when doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size." But according to Johns Hopkins response, "Cancer is a genetic disease resulting from a variety of mutations and alterations either inherited from our parents or, more commonly, acquired over time due to environmental exposures and behaviors, such as smoking and poor diet. These alterations turn off important cell growth regulators allowing cells to continually divide unchecked," explains Luis Diaz, a clinician-scientist at the Ludwig Center for Cancer Genetics.
The email continues to give credit to the immune system's superb ability to "destroy (cancer cells) and prevent from multiplying and forming tumors." Immune system health is no guarantee if a person has poor lifestyle habits, such as smoking, drinking, and stress – the average American routine; in fact, "The immune system simply does not recognize cancer. In its complexity, the cancer cell has learned to disguise itself to the immune system as a normal cell." Infected cells send out danger signals setting the immune system in action. Cancer cells do not, explains Elizabeth Jaffee, co-director of cancer immunology and a leading expert on cancer and the immune system, as written in the Hopkins article.
"When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiple nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic, environmental, food and lifestyle factors. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and including supplements will strengthen the immune system." Yet dietary habits and lifestyle choices, such as smoking, contribute to the development of many human cancers, says Kimmel Cancer Center director William Nelson. "Our experts recommend a balanced diet as a way of reducing cancer risk. In terms of supplements, Nelson points out that while they may help mediate vitamin deficiencies, taking doses above what the body needs provides no added benefit."
