Processing Times
All engraved items are laser engraved to order. Processing times typically vary from 1 to 7 days but can be extended up to 14 days. Substantial orders may take longer. If you need your order by a specific date, please don't hesitate to contact us before placing your order. Our processing times will remain the same, regardless of the shipping speed selected.
Custom Orders
Some miniatures can be printed in a variety of scales. Please get in touch with us before ordering if you have a special request; we do not honor requests added to order notes.
Expectations should be those shown in product images. Please get in touch with us immediately if you receive something different than what is displayed. We use both actual products and digital representations of designs in our listings. Some items may be shown in pictures that are not included, contact us if you need clarification on what you are purchasing.
All prints vary in size based on designer files. Miniatures are scaled for 28mm tabletop miniature games and are approximately 28mm - 32mm unless otherwise specified. Images show the product on a 1-inch grid with a standard 20-sided die. Some items may be shown in pictures that are not included, contact us if you are unsure of what you are purchasing.
All of our 3D-printed items are plastic and not real. While our specific purpose is for tabletop miniature role-playing games, our models have a wide range of uses. Customers have played Miniature Wargames, Pathfinder, Fallout, Necromunda, Gaslands, Kings of War, Blood Bowl, Heroscape, Dungeons & Dragons and many other 28mm scale wargames with our miniatures and terrain. We have also had many customers purchase terrain with S Scale and 1/32 and 1/35 scale scenes.
Our models are 3D printed and may show minor imperfections or print lines. Some of our miniatures may require assembly, sanding, or priming. Priming is not needed, and any miniature or spray primer will do. We recommend Gorilla Gel glue for any assembly of our miniatures.
Our FDM miniatures are 3D printed with PLA plastic and have less detail than our resin miniatures. They are printed using a higher quality polylactic acid plastic made from corn grain and are tougher than most PLA prints. PLA is intended for indoor use and has a melting point of 120°F.
Returns & Damaged Products
Orders may be returned within seven business days of purchase. The buyer is responsible for return shipping. Items must be returned in their original packaging and new, unused condition. Items not packed adequately and resulting in item breakage will not be refunded. Custom orders are non-refundable.
GriffonCo Shoppe LLC will give a refund within three business days of receiving the returned package. The seller is not responsible for lost packages. Insurance is recommended. The original shipping charge is non-refundable. All orders may be subjected to a 10% restocking fee.
All products are checked for quality and packed to ensure safe travel. If the product arrives broken or unable to be used, we will send you a replacement or, in rare cases, refund you or issue store credit. If you are unhappy with your purchase, please get in touch with us directly within three days of delivery.
Lost Packages
We are not responsible for lost or stolen packages. We will refund any order that is returned to us, minus the cost of shipping. Please double-check the shipping address and ensure it's going to a secure location. It is the buyer's responsibility to contact USPS for missing parcels. (https://faq.usps.com/s/article/Where-is-my-package)
Cleaning & Materials
Just like store-bought commercial miniatures, 3D Printed items may require some cleanup. Strings and fuzzies are standard because we ship prints directly from the printer to your home to keep our prices low.
• You can snip off thicker strings with clippers or snippers (or they can often be flicked off with your finger!).
• For thin fuzzies, you can use a lighter, being sure not to hold it over the plastic for more than a second!
• Like mass-market TTRPG miniatures, you can use Green Stuff, Liquid Green Stuff, or Vallejo's Plastic Putty to fill in the gaps or seams.
GriffonCo Shoppe has a large selection of accessories for tabletop games, miniatures, and terrain for tabletop wargaming. We give customers of tabletop role-playing games products that are good, unique, and affordable.

And now to an even bigger battle that's been playing out in the world of video games.
GREENE: That's the trailer for the game "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2." But it is not the action onscreen that's been captivating the industry; it's what's been going on behind the scenes. The two men who co-created the multibillion-dollar "Call of Duty" game franchise filed a lawsuit against their former employer, the company that publishes the games, Activision Blizzard. Activision then countersued in court, with claims totaling over $2 billion.
This was going to be the biggest lawsuit in the history of the video game industry. The trial was all set to begin today in Los Angeles. But at the very last minute, the battle over "Call of Duty" ended with an armistice, a settlement. And for more, we've reached L.A. Times reporter Ben Fritz, who's been covering all the twists and turns of this case. Ben, good morning.
BEN FRITZ: Good morning.
GREENE: Well, let's start with how this legal drama began. I mean, these two creators bring a big case against Activision. What brought this on?
FRITZ: What happened was, in March of 2010, Jason West and Vince Zampella, who had co-created the "Call of Duty" games - made billions of dollars for Activision - were fired, and this shocked the industry. And within a few days of their being shown the door, they filed a lawsuit against Activision, and claimed the company had fired them because it wanted to get out of paying them hundreds of millions of dollars in royalties and bonuses that they were owed under their contract.
GREENE: So then after they file the lawsuit against Activision, Activision fires right back with a counter-lawsuit. What, essentially, was the company's argument?
FRITZ: The company said that they had breached their contracts; that they were sick of working under the heel of them, and they wanted to decamp to Activision's biggest rival, Electronic Arts, and steal Activision's intellectual property in the process. And that would have been a breach of their contract.
GREENE: And it sounds like this case had such extraordinary twists and turns. I mean, at one point, Activision was being accused of actually trying to break into the email of these two creators?
FRITZ: Yeah, there was a lot of crazy stuff that came out in the court documents. There's a lot of fighting going on internally. There were, literally, people hanging up the phones on each other; changing locks. Activision felt they had no idea what was going on with Jason and Vince and their development studio. So they asked somebody in their IT department to try to break into the computers, to read their emails and check their voicemails. And when it turned out that was technically impossible, Activision actually considered staging a fake fire drill or fumigation so they would be able to get into the offices and find out what was going on with Jason and Vince.
GREENE: Well, Ben, you know, this legal drama grew to include 40 other game developers. I mean, it was going to be the biggest legal case in the history of video games. What, essentially, was at stake here? Are we just talking about money and egos, or is there something broader that we can kind of take from this?
FRITZ: Oh no. There's a broader issue, according to the developers and their supporters - and they had a lot of supporters in the industry. And it's a question of the level of respect and power that game developers, the people who actually create the games, have. In the past, most of the power has been in the hands of the publishers - kind of like the old Hollywood studio system in the '30s and '40s, when all the actors and directors worked under contract. Now that the video game industry is becoming so much more powerful culturally and economically, the creators want to get more respect. And they want to be treated just the way that a powerful director, like Steven Spielberg, would. And I think a lot of people have viewed this as a test case for the power and respect of video game creators.
GREENE: And so yesterday afternoon, we get this settlement. We - as I understand, the terms are confidential. We don't know what, exactly, is involved. But do you have any sense for who won; whether these creators got the respect they were looking for, whether the big company held ground, in a way?
FRITZ: Well, David, as you said, the terms of the settlement were private. Nobody would say anything. The only thing I know for sure is that Jason West, one of the developers in question, he was there in court. And as he walked out, he had a big smile on his face.
GREENE: All right. Interesting case. Ben, thanks so much of updating us.
FRITZ: My pleasure. Thank you, David.

It's the Summer Solstice. Sprawl on the hammock and soak up the richness of the Mused Literary Magazine. A stroke-affected woman struggles to move on. A hospital patient finds strength to make a choice. Depression, loneliness, angst-filled remembrances - and also hope, longing, spell binding beauty.
Images nestle you in the hills of Sicily, walk with you along the Great Wall of China. Thunder with a horse in full gallop, rest with a pelican by the water, and share the tiny world of a ladybug. Feel peace with the mountains of the Grand Tetons.
Fiction stories send us back to a childhood of boiling crabs and avocado-green appliances. They muse about angels and peer into overflowing inboxes, full of curiosity.
Non-fiction shakes up our view of the world. Recovering from a breakup. Galloping full tilt across a Cairo desert. A play lazes on a Southern porch with a pair of flirtatious seniors.
Interviews help us grow and expand our horizons. Kendra Tornheim provides a wealth of information for crafters who want to start selling their wares. Learn from Lori Bernard how fictional short stories are created. She sums up our world beautifully - "some are sadder and will make you think, some are happier and will make you cry; some have that 'ah-ha' moment, and some have an unexpected twist." Join us for the journey.
Be sure to look at the PDF version of Mused - it contains art book quality layout and graphics, and we provide it for free!

Just Hungry 5th Anniversary / Just Bento 1st Anniversary Giveaway!
What with all the traveling last month and all, I totally forgot the fact that, as of November 29, Just Hungry is 5 years old., or 35 in dog years...which pretty much corresponds to blog years I think. (I'd like to thank Ai Lu for reminding me, by commenting on my very first post!)
Back when I started, I was pretty much clueless about food blogging (even though I've been blogging off and on since the late '90s). My early writing is not so good, and most of my early photos stink - or if they turned out good it was purely accidental. Nevertheless, all the content is still here, warts and all. Just Hungry (which started its life with the more cumbersome name of I Was Just Really Very Hungry) has changed quite a bit since the early years, and I like to think my writing and photography has improved some - but in the end, it's always been about the food I love. So in essence, what I wrote back in my first post is still what this site is all about. And thankfully, it seems to agree with quite a lot of readers who have encouraged me over the years.
Also, and this is even more of an oversight, Just Hungry's little sister Just Bento had its first birthday in October. Just Bento has been a lot more precocious than Just Hungry, and has grown in leaps and bounds, due in large part to the growth in popularity of bento meals all over the world.
To readers of either, or both, sites I would like to say a big
Thank You!!!!
And now the part you were waiting for: The Giveaway
To show my thanks to you, kind reader, I am giving away some goodies. This giveaway is open to everyone, regardless of where you live, as long as you can receive mail!
To make it interesting :) I'm going to announce 1 prize per day for the rest of the week, on both Just Hungry and Just Bento. That's ten giveways! All you have to do to have a chance at getting one of these is to leave a comment under the giveaway listing you're interested in.
Your comment must contain the following, or your entry will be disqualified:
- Your email address - put this in the Email box so that spambots can't see it. The email is necessary so I can contact you if you win!
- Your name (a nickname is ok)
- Your location (country)
- You can enter/comment for all giveaways if you want, but one comment per please!
- Your comment must be posted before the stated deadline.
Note: None of the following items is a review copy, advertising freebie, etc. They are all items that I have duplicates or similar of myself and have used and loved!
Delivery: I'll airmail you the item if you win ASAP, but I cannot guarantee you'll get in time for Christmas.
So here we go: the first item for Just Hungry!

I really enjoy both your sites. I got into a cooking rut last year and started eating junk since I was so bored with my own food. You helped me snap out of endless nimono and carrot sticks!

Hey Maki,
I've been reading for a while, but never commented, mainly because all I would've done is add to the million of "oooh, love this!" things. Tried many things, starting with the neba-neba don (without ikura, but with all the rest); keep coming back for more. THANK YOU for sharing the recipes.
I'm in Japan atm, so I can get most of the ingredients, but I'm usually Germany-based, so it's perfect that you have information about things we can get our hands on in Switzerland or Germany that can be substituted for Japanese food items. THANK YOU.
It's also all your fault that I'll be buying myself a kitchen application for Christmas (well, two; rice cooker + transformer (though the trafo might have to wait until I fly back)).
Uh, I'd also like to sign up for the giveaway... but I figure now that this got me going, you'll be receiving a lot more comments from me. laughs
Happy Anniversary!
I started reading your blog when I was living in the US and getting ready to move to Switzerland and enjoy reading it now as a Zürich neighbor. We make the roasted vegetable medley almost every week and I look forward to trying more recipes in the New Year.
I've only been a reader for the past year or so but I've thoroughly enjoyed your blog.

For some reason not all of your posts are showing up in my reader. Strange...

What great timing, Nigella Lawson was talking about affordable holiday entertaining on NPR(national public radio) this morning on my way in to work.
You know, you should really force the metric version on everyone though. We here in the states need all the help we can get convincing people to switch over to the metric system.

My introduction to Japanese food
Christmas 1962, my first in California after moving from Pennsylvania by myself in November, I was invited by a Japanese-American fellow employee to share dinner with her family. It was to be a traditional American dinner with turkey and a slew of relatives -- and me. Moreover, it was followed by an invitation to their New Year's Day dinner, but this time with all Japanese food -- if I were brave enough to want to try it. I did.
Their kindness so long ago is cherished to this day. Though we've all moved away since then, thank you to the extended family of Mr. and Mrs.Kamaichi Ikeda of Mountain View, Calif. for all the wonderful times they shared with me.
Is it any wonder that I enjoy Japanese style food from time to time, lots of stir-fries, and have my own bento box? And, of course, your website, Maki, with all its intriguing recipes. Thank you all.

Thanks, and congratulations on your 5 years!

I've been reading both JustBento and JustHungry for the past few months, and our family meals (and my bento lunches) have been well improved because of it. My favorite staple has been the simple recipe for Miso Chicken!

Dear maki,
I first linked to your site from Chocolate and Zucchini because I was making Nigella's chestnut and lentil soup and Clotilde had linked to your site for the original idea. Kind of funny to think that Nigella brought me here and now you are giving a Nigella book away. Your site (JH & JB) and your archives make me so happy. I think my boyfriend is happier too with the quality of my cooking. Thanks for everything! - Lynh from NY, NY in US

Hi Maki, I'm an american
Hi Maki,
I'm an american girl in Paris (France, of course). I found your site while researching how to make my own sauerkraut, since all I ever seem to find here is already heavy with "garnie" (meaning too much fat to my liking). From there, I got hooked on your recipe for japanese pickles (although I continue with the lacto-fermentation process a lot longer--for about one week at the least...the nappa cabbage recipe ends up more like a kimchi).
Anyhow, your writings on certain subjects have been a sort of awakening and "coming together" of all sorts of thoughts and interests that I've had.
And for that, I'd just like to say, thank you.
"Et maintenant, je suis accro pour Just Hungry!"

I wonder how long your "Just Words" blog has been going on?
No, I'm not trolling for gifts. :-)

I can't remember how I
I can't remember how I found your blog, but it was definitely in the early days of the blog, when I was still living in Nara (I returned to the US about 3.5years ago), and very very confused by the various ingredients in my local store. Now that I'm not in Japan, I'm not as strict with myself about only cooking Japanese food, and my cooking style is more of a fusion of east asian/south asian (my heritage)/middle eastern (the inlaws' heritage) cooking, but Just Hungry/Just Bento is still my go-to site for inspiration.
Happy Anniversary! I love

I have to agree with some of the above comments, though, that although I'm in the U.S. it's silly not to cook using metric measurements. But maybe I'm just biased because all of my measurements through work are metric.

Thank you for putting so much time and effort into your content. It makes reading both of your blogs so much fun!
happy anniversary
I've meant to tell you for the longest time that you should really write a cookbook with Japanese food for children. Not adapted for children, just adapted for European super markets . seriously, both my 3 year old and 1 year old love your spring fried rice, your japanese curry and so much more!
What fun!

Hello Maki-san!
Congratulations on five years with Just Hungry and on Just Bento's incredible first year!!
I must tell you that I absolutely LOVE your sites! I'm a long time reader of both, but a first-time commenter. XD I suppose I just thought I wouldn't be able to post them for some reason... I've never actually scrolled down this far before~
I was always too focused on the magnificent recipes and writing down shopping lists! Heehee~ Currently I've been especially interested in the bento site, as I am getting my very first bento in the coming weeks! I'm really excited!! I always look through recipes on Just Hungry as well, though~ They're all fantastic recipes that I could also put in a bento :)
It's incredibly generous of you to give things away like this!! Thank you so much!!

Damn... I thought I will be the first one to say that I am from Singapore but somebody has beat me to it.
Stumbled upon this blog few months back when I was trying to search for a grilled mushroom recipe (Japanese style). I have been hooked since then mainly because I love the Japanese cuisine. I remember I was so thrilled I had to tell my hubby immediately about this blog that has tons and tons of Japanese recipes. I cook more Japanese than Chinese over the weekends because I figured that my kids had enough Chinese on weekdays at that grandmother's place.
Second reason why I keep coming back is because the recipes are easy to follow. I'm relatively new to cooking and have 2 toddlers in tow (literally) so I need simple and quick recipes. I tend to ignore recipes that has a long list of ingredients and steps because I know I will never attempt it until years later.
I hope I won't sound too thick skin if I tell you I want this giveaway =p The words "express", "good" and "fast" are exactly what this working mummy look for in recipes!!
Awesome :)
Great recipes and tutorials! Pretty much everything I've tried - and not slaughtered with severe experimentation on my part - has come out delicious. I really love the background info given for everything too, since many of these recipes aren't very common around these here parts (that being Canada).
Here's hoping for many more years of your blog!

Really glad to have found your blog at 5 years old! Over the past few years I've been cooking more... and looking to the net as a source of ideas before buying recipe books ruins me financially. I get down hearted by the fact most sites are very USA based.

Lucky to have found your site
I have been hiding around in this blog for a while - marveling at all you make and write about! I live in Japan and you have helped me decipher many food things and encouraged me to cook more Japanese food. "Ah, but why am I commenting on the Nigella book?" you ask - hmm - express probably. The ideal me can cook a lovely meal, clean up during said cooking, serve the meal at the perfect temperature and only have the eating dishes to clean up - HA! Express sounds like a better concept for me...Although as an American living in Japan for 2 years I thankfully don't think I will ever be able to eat fast food or anything truly "Express". The flavors of Japan are fantastic and some of those simple, wonderful foods are quick and won't ruin your arteries or your diet! Thank you for both sites - I truly enjoy what you have done!

Amazed at how much I've learned
I only recently (4 months or so) discovered the wonderful world of food blogs. I still don't know how I stumbled upon the first. It has been a truly rewarding experience. I don't get to read but a few, but yours is one I always look forward to in the morning. I had never heard of a bento, but generally try to bring a lunch of leftovers for me and my husband each day. We work in the same building so having lunch together is a great treat.
The tasty recipes and transforming leftovers at work into a fun event is great.
Thanks for all the hard work.

BOSTON (AP) — Former Boston crime boss James "Whitey" Bulger was led off to prison Thursday for the rest of his life, accepting his punishment in stone-faced silence as a judge castigated the 84-year-old gangster for his "almost unfathomable" depravity.
Bulger's sentencing for his murderous reign in the 1970s and '80s brought to a close a sordid case that exposed FBI complicity in his crimes and left a trail of devastated families whose loved ones were killed by Bulger or his henchmen.
Many of the relatives had vented their anger at Bulger during the first day of his sentencing hearing on Wednesday, calling him a "terrorist," a "punk" and "Satan."
So when U.S. District Judge Denise Casper announced the punishment — two consecutive life sentences plus five years — there were no shouts of joy or applause from the families, just silence.
Afterward, many said they took some satisfaction in knowing that Bulger will spend the rest of his life behind bars.
"That old bastard is finally going to prison. He's going to die in prison," said Tom Donahue, whose father was gunned down by Bulger after he happened to offer a ride home to a man who was Bulger's actual target.
Bulger, the former boss of the Winter Hill Gang, Boston's Irish mob, fled the city in 1994 after being tipped off by a former FBI agent that he was about to be indicted. He was a fugitive for more than 16 years until he was captured in Santa Monica, Calif., in 2011.
His disappearance became a major embarrassment for the FBI when it was learned that corrupt Boston agents had taken bribes from Bulger and protected him for years while he worked as an FBI informant, feeding information on the rival New England Mafia.
A jury convicted Bulger in August in a broad racketeering case. He was found guilty in 11 of the 19 killings he was accused of, along with dozens of other gangland crimes, including shakedowns and money laundering.
At his sentencing, the judge read off the names of the 11. She told Bulger she sometimes wished that she and everyone else at his trial were watching a movie because the horrors described — including stranglings and shootings — were so awful.
"The scope, the callousness, the depravity of your crimes are almost unfathomable," she said before imposing the punishment prosecutors had requested.
The judge also ordered Bulger to pay $19.5 million in restitution to the victims' families and to forfeit an additional $25.2 million to the government, based on prosecutors' estimate of how much his gang took in from drugs, extortion and gambling.
It is unclear how much Bulger will be able to pay. Prosecutors did find $822,000 in cash stashed in the walls of his apartment when he was caught.
Bulger, who was known for his volcanic temper, snarled obscenities at several once-loyal cohorts during his trial, but he said nothing at all at his sentencing and left the courtroom without even looking at one of his brothers or other supporters.
J.W. Carney Jr., one of Bulger's lawyers, said Bulger was "pleased that he held to his principles" by staying silent and refusing to participate in the sentencing.
Bulger's lawyers said he believes his trial was a "sham" because he was not allowed to argue that a now-deceased federal prosecutor gave him immunity to commit crimes.
Defense attorney Hank Brennan blasted prosecutors for plea bargains given to Bulger associates who testified against him, including hitman John Martorano, who served only 12 years in prison after admitting to killing 20 people, and Kevin Weeks, who did five years behind bars after he admitted taking part in five murders.
"Why in the world do we have a handful of murderers walking the streets?" Brennan asked.
U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz said prosecutors had to make difficult decisions to get Bulger.
"Was it worth it? I believe so, but it's not something you enjoy doing," Ortiz said.
"James Bulger deserves nothing less than to spend the rest of his life in prison for the harm, the pain and the suffering that he has caused to so many in this town," she said.

It's MORNING EDITION, from NPR News. I'm Linda Wertheimer, in for Steve Inskeep.
And I'm Renee Montagne.
In Egypt, a small victory for civil rights: A court there suspended a decree that allowed the military to arrest civilians. Other moves to amass power by the ruling military council, including dissolving Egypt's elected parliament, are still in effect.
The country's new president, Mohammed Morsi, is an Islamist and facing a balancing act. First, he's trying to take back some of the presidential powers now held by the military. At the same time, he's trying to reassure Egyptians that he's not fashioning an all-Islamist Cabinet.
For more, we turn to NPR's Peter Kenyon who is in Cairo. Good morning.
PETER KENYON, BYLINE: Morning, Renee.
MONTAGNE: Let's start with yesterday's ruling. It actually reduced the military's powers, and those powers have been growing by leaps and bounds. Tell us about that court ruling.
KENYON: Well, the decree in question was issued by the military-appointed interim justice minister, and it authorized soldiers to arrest civilians on the streets. Some saw it as a chilling move to reinstate some of the sweeping emergency powers enjoyed by the authorities under Hosni Mubarak for decades. But as we saw yesterday, the first instant since the recent elections of an Egyptian court standing up to the ruling military council, an administrative court in Cairo suspended the decree, saying it violated constitutional principles going back many decades.
Now one of the lawyers who challenged that decree, Hafez Abu Saeda of the Egyptian Organization for Human Rights, told NPR that in this case, at least, the Egyptian judiciary did prove that it has something of an inclination toward human rights.
MONTAGNE: But in terms of political power, realistically at the moment, the military is the only game in town. It holds both presidential and legislative powers to itself. What are the chances that that will change now that a civilian president - and especially one who came from the Muslim Brotherhood - is about to take office?
KENYON: Well, if he's waiting for the judiciary to give him powers, Mr. Morsi will have to wait. There were two other - and arguably more important - cases before the court yesterday, one challenging the disillusion of parliament by the military. The other involved the status of the assembly that's supposed to be drafting a new Egyptian constitution.
The court yesterday deferred. It postponed rulings on both of those cases, and some, of course, are speculating that there may be the subject of ongoing negotiations between the president and the military. That's why the human rights lawyers yesterday - although they were pleased with the ruling on arresting civilians, they were a bit cautious, because they know the generals still hold most of the power here.
MONTAGNE: And Mohammed Morsi is due to be sworn in as president on Saturday. What are his first moves likely to be?
KENYON: Well, his aides say he's working on putting together a Cabinet and talking with the generals about his powers - the ones he no longer has. One the Cabinet, he's promised to include non-Islamists. In fact, he's talking about a national unity government. Not long ago, he formed a new coalition with some liberal and revolutionary youth groups. They want to see a non-Islamist named as prime minister, for example.
Other questions are: Will there be a woman in the Cabinet? A Coptic Christian? We are already pretty sure that the military wants to keep control of the defense ministry. And other key posts, such as interior and justice ministers, will be quite sensitive. Morsi also wants to push the military council to allow the constitution to be written. So Morsi's got to deal with the military and also convince people that he's not creating a theocracy.
MONTAGNE: And, finally, Peter, what about the man who got 48 percent of the vote in the presidential runoff, the former air force commander and one-time prime minister, Ahmed Shafiq?
KENYON: Well, Ahmed Shafiq got on the plane yesterday for the United Arab Emirates en route, reportedly, to Saudi Arabia for a religious pilgrimage. His campaign says he intends to return to Egypt and might even start a new political party. But he left just hours after prosecutors ordered an investigation into corruption allegations against him. So his future at this point seems uncertain.
MONTAGNE: And he's certainly out of the picture for the moment, then?
KENYON: Absolutely.
MONTAGNE: Peter, thanks much.
KENYON: You're welcome, Renee.

Digital Citizenship
Page Navigation
Keeping Students Safe in a Digital World
We may think of our kids' online, mobile, and technological activities as "digital life," but to them it's just life. In their world, being able to connect and communicate 24/7 from just about any location is normal. Phones aren't simply for phone calls anymore but for listening to music, sending texts, filming videos, snapping and sharing photos, and accessing the Internet. Our kids are using computers and tablets to socialize, stream video, and create movies and songs. And they can connect and communicate 24/7 from just about any location.
Why does digital citizenship matter?At Wiggs Middle School, we want our students to make good decisions so they can take advantage of the powerful technology that fills their lives both at school and at home. But in order to make good choices, kids must know how the digital world works. The stakes are high because our kids' technological abilities can be greater than their maturity and judgment. Having unrestricted access to information and people can result in gaining a wealth of information and experiences. But it can also mean accessing inappropriate content and exposure to risks such as:
- Cyber bullying
- Sexting
- Digital relationships
- Compromising their privacy
- Establishing a damaging Digital Footprint
That's why Wiggs has partnered with Common Sense Media to provide resources, tips, videos, and other materials to help parents and teachers keep our students safe in the digital world. Click on the Family Tips link in the navigation panel to view and download helpful information on how to encourage your children to become responsible digital citizens.
Digital Citizenship Vision Statement
Every student at Wiggs Middle School will become a responsible digital citizen who knows how to harness the learning potential of digital media in a 24/7 connected world, safely, effectively, ethically, and respectfully. Teachers will implement technology rich lessons that encourage active and project-based learning opportunities for our students to equip them to take ownership of their learning and prepare them to thrive in the 21st Century.

First Time Buyer Information
Pre- Qualification: Meet with a mortgage broker and find out how much you can afford to invest for your new home.
Pre- Approval: While knowing how much you can afford is the first step, sellers will be much more receptive to potential buyers who have been pre-approved. You also will avoid being disappointed when going after the homes you are interested in that may be out of your price range. With Pre- Approval, the buyer actually applies for a mortgage and receives a commitment in writing from a lender. This way, assuming the home you're interested in is at or under the amount you are pre-qualified for, the seller knows immediately that you are a serious buyer for their home. Costs for pre-approvals are generally nominal and lenders will usually permit you to pay them when you close your loan.
List of Needs & Wants: Make 2 lists. The first should include items you must have (i.e., the desired bedrooms, bathrooms, square footage,etc.). The second list is your wishes, things you would like to have (Backyard, Pool, additional upgrades,etc.) but that aren't absolutely necessary. Realistically for first-time buyers, you probably won't get everything on your wish list, but it will keep you on track for what you're looking for.
Representation by a Professional: Consider hiring your own real estate agent, one who is working for you and specializes in your needs.
Focus & Organization: In a convenient location, keep handy the items that will assist you in maximizing your home search efforts. Such items may include:
1. One or more detailed maps with your areas of interests highlighted.
2. A file of the homes that your agent has shown to you, along with setup sheets and photos.
3. Paper and pen, for taking notes as you search.
4. Take pictures to help refresh your memory on individual homes.
5. Location: Look at potential homes as if you are the seller. Would a prospective buyer find it attractive based on curb appeal, school districts, crime rate, proximity to positives (shopping, parks, freeway access) and negatives (abandoned properties, garbage dump, source of noise) features of the area.
Be Objective: When searching for your new home ask yourself the following questions. Does this home really meet your needs? Does it financially make sense? Be Thorough: A few extra dollars well spent now may save you big expenses in the long run. Don't forget such essentials as:
1. Include inspection & mortgage contingencies in your written offer.
2. Have the property inspected by a professional inspector.
3. Check to see that no changes have been made that weren't agreed on (i.e., closing cost, repairs, etc.). All the above may seem rather overwhelming. That's why having a professional represent you and keep track of all the details for you is highly recommended. Please email us or call us directly to discuss any of these matters in further detail.
Enclosed information is deemed reliable but is not guaranteed.

Update at 5:54 p.m.
Asiana Airlines Flight 214 tried to abort its landing and come in for another try just 1 1/2 seconds before it crashed Saturday at San Francisco airport, killing two people and injuring dozens of others.
That was the information gleaned from the jetliner's cockpit voice recorder, the head of the National Transportation Safety Board said at a Sunday news conference. NTSB chief Deborah Hersman also said about seven seconds prior to impact, there was a call to increase speed.
She said the flight data recorder captured the entire flight.
"We have a long way to go in this investigation," Hersman said.
NPR's Laura Sydell talked to weekends on All Things Consideredabout the news conference:
"Well, I should say, although its sounds like it could be pilot error, there's a lot we don't know. For example, there are systems on the ground that assist pilots in landing and we know that at least one of them wasn't working. It's called the Instrument Landing System, or ILS. It hasn't been functioning since June because of construction at the airport. What this system does is basically warn a pilot if they are coming in to low. But, literally thousands of flights have landed in San Francisco without using it, and it was a clear day, no reports of weather problems, and pilots are trained to use their eyes when they land a plane.
"It also could have been a mechnical problem with the plane itself. But keep in mind this is the first time that anyone would have been killed in a crash of a Boeing 777 — it has a great safety record. The CEO of Asiana said he did not believe there was a mechanical problem. And as for pilot error, it's a more than 10-hour flight, that's exhausting, but, the pilot was a seasoned veteran with a lot of support he had a co-pilot and two other back up pilots, which is standard for a flight of this length."
But as one pilot told the show, shorter routes can sometimes be more tiring than longer, international flights.
The Associated Press also reported that investigators said they were looking into the possibility that rescue crews ran over one of the two teenagers killed in the crash.
Our original post:
An investigation has begun into Saturday's crash-landing of a South Korean airliner at San Francisco's airport, which left two passengers dead and dozens more injured. Two teenage girls from China were killed, the airline says.
The Asiana Airlines Boeing 777 had begun its trip in Shanghai, adding more passengers in South Korea, reports China's Xinhua news agency, which says 141 Chinese citizens were on the flight to San Francisco International Airport.
As it came in for landing before noon Saturday, the plane's tail section snapped off after it struck the ground short of the runway, according to multiple witness accounts. The jetliner then twisted and slid down the tarmac. After the plane's inflatable emergency escape ramps deployed, many passengers slid to safety.
As it sat on the runway, the aircraft sent billows of smoke into the sky. Images taken later showed a large portion of the 777's roof had burned away.
"Based on numbers provided by the San Francisco Fire Dept. and regional hospital officials, two people died and 182 others were taken to hospitals," the local CBS News affiliate reports, "including 49 who were seriously injured, ten of them critically including two small children."
Asiana and government officials have identified students Ye Mengyuan and Wang Linjia as the two girls killed Saturday. They were part of a large group of students and teachers who were heading to the United States for a summer camp, reports the South China Morning Post.
All 307 people aboard the plane have now been accounted for, officials say, and investigators began their work on the scene before midnight. The National Transportation Safety Board and the Federal Aviation Administration each say that they're sending investigators to San Francisco.
The incident triggered delays and rerouting of dozens of other flights, as jets were sent to airports in Oakland, Los Angeles, and elsewhere to absorb the flow of travelers. As of early Sunday, two runways at the airport remain closed, reports the local ABC 7 News.
One person who saw the plane from the ground was Stephanie Turner, a visitor to California who was taking a photo of the runway when she saw the Asiana 777 descending.
"And then I noticed that the tail was very, very low. The angle was bad. And so as it came in, the tail of the plane struck first," she told NPR Saturday.
Among the passengers was Samsung executive David Eun, who tweeted "I just crash landed at SFO. Tail ripped off. Most everyone seems fine. I'm ok. Surreal..." Eun also posted a photo of the jet.
We'll be following developments today, and updating this post as they come in.
With all those aboard accounted for, transportation officials are now turning their focus to finding the cause of the disastrous landing, the first time a Boeing 777 has been involved in a crash with fatalities in its 18 years of service, ABC reports.
The chief executive of Asiana Airlines says that the flight's pilots were well-trained and had thousands of hours of experience. He also said there were no issues with the plane.
"For now, we acknowledge that there were no problems caused by the 777-200 plane or (its) engines," airline president and CEO Yoon Young-doo said at a news conference Sunday, Reuters reports.
The news agency also reports that parts of the San Francisco airport's landing systems, designed to help pilots make perfect descents onto runways, had been turned off on the runway that was the scene of Saturday's crash-landing.
The system is seen as an aid to pilots, rather than an essential guide — particularly during clear conditions such as those reported Saturday.
Saturday, officials from the FBI said that they saw no signs that the crash-landing was related to terrorism.

1995 Subaru Outback Custom Dash Cover
The year make model dash kits come in two different types i.e. flat dash kits and molded dash kits. If all the dash board of vehicle were flat than only flat dash kits will be sufficient but it is not so, there were many dash board that are curved around the edges or in 3D shapes. So, for that kind of dash board the molded dash kits were more suitable and subtle. Generally, the year make model dash kits are not made suitable for all kinds of vehicles.
The molded dash kits are especially made for specific year make models that have large rounded edge dash surface or 3D shaped dash surface that cannot be covered by the flat dash kits. Nowadays there available quality wood dash kits and dash trim kits. You can find dash kits of all fits and finishes, including carbon fiber, aluminum and burl wood in a wide range of colors and auto applications. All year make model dash kits are manufactured with the latest computer and laser technology assuring you that your kit will fit perfectly, the first time. You can find both molded dash kits and flat kits for your vehicle. Molded dash kits are among the finest available, fitting those applications where curves and contours call for more than a flat kit can deliver.

Foot Fracture
The foot has 26 bones, and can be divided into 3 parts:
- The hind foot is comprised of two bones, the talus bone which connects to the bones of the lower leg, and the calcaneus bone which forms the heel.
- The midfoot is comprised of the navicular, cuboid, and three cuneiform bones.
- The forefoot is made up of five metatarsal bones and 14 toe bones called phalanges.
The hind foot is separated from the midfoot by the medio tarsal joint and the midfoot is separated from the forefoot by the lisfranc joint. Muscles, tendons and ligaments support the bones and joints of the feet enabling them to withstand the entire body's weight while walking, running and jumping. Despite this, trauma and stress can cause fractures in the foot. Extreme force is required to fracture the bones in the hind foot. The most common type of foot fracture is a stress fracture, which occurs when repeated activities produce small cracks in the bones.
Types of foot fractures
Foot fractures can involve different bones and joints and are classified into several types:
- Calcaneal fractures: This type affects the heel bone and occurs mostly because of high-energy collisions. It can cause disabling injuries and if the subtalar joint is involved it is considered a severe fracture.
- Talar fractures: The talus bone helps to transfer weight and forces across the joint. Talus fractures usually occur at the neck or mid portion of the talus.
- Navicular fractures: Navicular fractures are rare and include mostly stress fractures that occur with sports activities, such as running and gymnastics, because of repeated loading on the foot.
- Lisfranc fractures: This type of fracture occurs due to excessive loading on the foot, which leads to stretching or tearing of the midfoot ligaments.
Foot fractures commonly occur because of a fall, motor vehicle accident, dropping a heavy object on your foot, or from overuse such as with sports.
The common symptoms of a foot fracture include pain, bruising, tenderness, swelling, deformity and inability to bear weight.
Your doctor diagnoses a foot fracture by reviewing your medical history and performing a thorough physical examination of your foot. Imaging tests such as X-rays, MRI or CT scan may be ordered to confirm the diagnosis. Navicular fractures can be especially difficult to diagnose without imaging tests.
Treatment depends on the type of fracture sustained. For mild fractures, nonsurgical treatment is advised and includes rest, ice, compression, and elevation of the foot. Your doctor may suggest a splint or cast to immobilize the foot. For more severe fractures, surgery will be required to align, reconstruct or fuse the joints. Bone fragments may be held together with plates and screws.
Physical therapy may be recommended to improve range of motion and strengthen the foot muscles. Weight bearing however should be a gradual process with the help of a cane or walking boot.
