On any given day, tens of millions of Americans may be without health care coverage.For many, it's only temporary. The gap mayoccur after college graduation when adult childrenare no longer covered under their parents' plans, forthose between jobs or starting new ones, or evenwith retirees on Medicare traveling abroad.
Although this uninsured period is usually brief --often lasting just a few months, at most it can bedangerous if a serious illness or injury should occur.
"I know a young person planning to enter graduate school who decided to forgo coverage one summer and came down with a rare nerve disorder,"said Jonathan Pond, a Boston-based financial adviser. "She spent weeks in intensive care. . . (and incurred) hundreds of thousands of dollars in bills.
"She lost a house that she had just inherited fromher grandmother. . . and faces (medical) paymentsfor the next 20 years."
There are several options available to prevent financial catastrophes like that one.
The most common one is for individuals to continue the group coverage offered by their former employers until they become eligible to participate in anew employer's plan.
Young adults who may no longer be eligible fortheir parents' group policy, either because of theirage or because they are no longer full-time students,might be able to continue coverage under COBRA,but COBRA benefits usually aren't available undercollege health plans.
Another option is to purchase health insurancethrough a professional group or trade association.
"You can join a local chamber of commerce orstate business association, which are basically in thebusiness of offering group coverage," Pond said.
A third option is to purchase short-term health insurance, which typically provides coverage for oneto six months. Such plans are often indemnity plans,which means individuals are free to choose theirown doctors or hospitals.
But unlike most regular health care plans, thereare usually many restrictions. For example, manytemporary plans do not cover maternity costs aswell as some pre-existing health problems. Also,some states don't permit the sale of short-term policies.
Costs vary by age, state where the insured partyresides, deductibles and coverage plans chosen, Thehigher the deductible, the lower the premium. Also.in some instances, the shorter the term. the less costly the coverage.
A 40-year-old nonsmoking man from Miami, tor instance, can expect to pay $391.68 for a standardthree-month policy with a $250 deductible offered byFortis Health Insurance Co. in Milwaukee(www.healthaxis.com). That same policy with a$2,500 deductible would come to $195.84.
A 23-year-old nonsmoking woman from Los Angeles would pay $180.58 initially, then $57.02 a monthfor a 95-day standard policy with a $2,500 deductible,renewable for up to 185 days.
For the traveling retiree covered by Medicare,short-term travel insurance may be sufficient. Traditional Medicare, many Medicare HMO plans and Medigap policies generally don't cover medical prob-lems abroad. The insurance department in yourstate should be able to provide a list of insurancecarriers that offer temporary health insurance plansdesigned for international travel.
Other carriers or agents can provide quotes overthe telephone or through the Internet. Some Websites to check: www.insure.com;www.goldenrule.com; www.quickquote com;www.champion-ins.com.

Ballymena parade ends with sectarian chanting outside chapel
North Antrim Sinn Féin MLA Philip McGuigan has said that last night's Ballymena Protestant Boys parade through the north end of Ballymena was yet another example of the unacceptable behaviour of loyalists in that part of the town. The Ballymena Protestant Boys Band has carried UDA, UFF and UYM flags on numerous occasions and carries a bannerette referring to 'South East Antrim', the local UDA batallion area.
Mr McGuigan said:
"It was quite clear last night that this parade remains a sectarian coat-trailing exercise and this shows no signs of changing. There were numerous breaches of the Parades Commission determination including the playing of music at the Chapel roundabout and the display of loyalist paramilitary flags.
"There were also a number of bands that paraded which the Parades Commission were not notified of which is an extremely serious breach of the determination. The parade supporters gathered across from the chapel chanting 'U-D-A' all evening showed everyone what this parade is really about and it remains totally unacceptable.
"Sinn Féin workers are now in the process of putting together a report into the Parades Commission breaches at this parade and the loyalist paramilitary paraphenalia that was on display."
Ballymena Sinn Féin Councillor Monica Digney continued:
"It was interesting to note that the DUP Band turned down the invitation to participate in tonight's parade. They have paraded alongside loyalist paramilitary bands in Ballymena in the past, and I would hope that they will now discontinue their links with loyalist paramilitary bands and parades in this area as many nationalists interpret this as an endorsement of the UDA and UVF bands involved."ENDS
N.B. The following is a link to the host band's website which shows clearly how the band's official logo is the UFF logo and motto with the band's name at the top of it: http://www.proddyboys.com/site/default.asp?page=parades

While the actual Dahi Shorba calls for the use of Bengal gram flour, this one is a little different and uses sour buttermilk.
Dilute the buttermilk with water.
Coarsely blend the curry leaves with salt, cumin seeds, and ginger root.
Add the curry leave mixture to the buttermilk. Add turmeric powder, and allow the mixture to come to a boil on medium to high flame.
Mix in black pepper powder, lower the flame, and simmer for 3 minutes.
Turn off the heat, remove from the fire, and serve hot.

Madonna threatens (in a non-violent way, of course) to blow up the White House. This is not hate speech.
Milo Yiannopoulos ridicules an African American actress on Twitter for having no talent. This IS hate speech.
This is modern liberalism. Hate speech for me, not for the thee.
Whether it's on climate change (formerly known as global warming before things started cooling down), traditional marriage (practiced for thousands of years), or the supposed bigotry of extreme vetting of terrorists – the left does not allow dissent.
And anyone who disagrees is a Nazi.
Meanwhile, we're told that conservatives are dangerous – and violent. We're the ones inciting the violence against ourselves, in fact – because we're naturally violent people, right?
But a quick look at recent history proves otherwise. I don't remember any conservative celebrities threatening to blow up President Obama and his family in the White House. I don't remember Tea Party mobs smashing windows, setting limos ablaze at Obama's inauguration (as leftists did at Trump's) – or swinging metal poles at people attending college lectures (as they did at Milo's cancelled speech).
And while we're at it, how many times was Governor Sarah Palin or her family threatened with bodily harm or insulted in cruel, vulgar ways –even by big-named media personalities and A-List celebrities? I lost count. Did she round up a rent-a-mob to storm 30 Rockefeller Plaza? I don't think so.
No, as conservatives we're expected to take it like Taylor Swift and "Shake it off." Haters gonna hate, after all.
But when you're a liberal you suddenly have a right to riot. You have a culturally-accepted license to harm conservatives. And, because you believe conservatives are the ones engaging in so-called hate speech – you must literally STOP us from speaking. Permanently, if you had your wish.
I have a little memo for the liberals. There is no such thing as hate speech, there is only FREE speech. And it's guaranteed by our Constitution and First Amendment. If you disagree with someone's SPEECH, you are free to disagree, debate, write letters to the editor, contact your Congressional representative, call your priest, vent to your psychiatric professional, peacefully march or all of the above.
You're not free to threaten violence against your political opponents – or carry out that violence. In fact, threatening someone with bodily harm is a violation of state and federal statutes. Here in California, Penal Code 422 covers felony criminal threats. You will be arrested and possibly convicted if your threat was: unequivocal, unconditional, immediate, and specific as to convey to the person threatened an immediate prospect of execution of threat, and a sustained fear for safety.
The Supreme Court recently has begun to more narrowly constitute what is threatening speech. And that's good for free speech. But the left should not get a pass on their criminal threats.
I also think it's time to put the fear of God (or lawsuits) into our public schools and institutions. I'm tired of my kids getting bullied at school for being conservative. I'm tired of turning on the news and seeing anarchists causing hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of damage on public college campuses. Who is going to pay for that? That's right — you, me, the taxpayers. Burning crosses has turned into burning food trucks. But the intent is the same: to create fear and chaos — and suppress the civil rights of a targeted group.
When will public universities be forced to ideologically integrate – just as schools in the South were forced to integrate racially? I'd love to hear a discussion on that. Will the market forces (and alumni dollars) naturally favor schools like the University of Chicago that refuse to grant "safe spaces" – and punish schools like Berkeley and others that blatantly condone ideological discrimination? Or will the Federal government need to intervene, as Trump suggested, by threatening to pull grant money if the schools don't open their campuses to free expression from ALL sides of the ideological spectrum?
Bottom-line: I'm tired of (paying) and playing nice.
And no, that's not hate speech, lefties. That's not a criminal threat. That's Constitutionally-protected dissent.


Keeping your pool water crystal clear can seem like a part-time job. In between leaves, dirt and other debris, your backyard retreat can quickly turn into an eyesore without regular cleaning. Spend your weekends enjoying your pool instead of cleaning it by relying on ABC for your pool cleaning in Houston.
Very courteous and informative about the work being done. The recommendations were honest and very helpful. I appreciated the education on how to better maintain the pool equipment. I have used 3 pool service companies prior but am very pleased to have ABC. They are the first to actually correctly diagnose and repair our pool issues.
What is included in your pool cleaning services?
Don't have the time or energy to keep your pool sparkling clean?
Skim leaves and other debris from your pool's surface.
Remove dirt and other materials from the side and bottom of your pool.
Empty the baskets of your pool pump and other equipment.
Test your water quality, including your pool's pH, alkalinity, and chlorine levels on a weekly basis. We test your cyanuric acid and calcium hardness monthly or as needed.
Make adjustments, when needed, to bring your pool chemistry back into balance.
Check your pool equipment to spot any potential problems before they become costly repairs.
Remove debris from your pool cleaner.
Backwash your sand or DE filter monthly or as needed.
How often do you come to clean my pool?
Manufacturers recommend weekly cleaning to keep your pool water clear and to maintain your pool balance. We can work with you to come up with a schedule that best fits your lifestyle, whether you opt for this regular cleaning or for more periodic appointments.
If you opt for our recommended weekly cleaning schedule, an ABC pool technician will visit your property on the same day each week to perform your service. On rare occasions, we may need to reschedule, including in the event of severe weather or during holiday weeks. In those cases, we will reach out to you well in advance to let you know about upcoming schedule changes.
Can I change the day of the week my pool is cleaned?
We understand that your schedule may change over time, and so we will do our best to accommodate our customers' requests to clean your pool on a different day. Please contact our Customer Service Department to make your request or simply ask your ABC technician when he is at your home.
Why is there a white build-up at my pool's water line?
The last thing a pool owner wants to see is an unsightly white line along the side of your pool at the water line. In most cases, white residue indicates that your pool's calcium levels are high. There are a few ways you can solve this problem, but the first thing you will want to try is to add a water softener to lower your total water hardness.
How often should I backwash my filters or clean my pool cartridge?
When your sand or Diatomaceous Earth (DE) filter's pressure gauge reaches 8-10psi more than the start-up pressure, you'll want to backwash the filter to remove dirt and debris. You may also consider backwashing your filter after you clean your pool after a big storm, when you notice an algae bloom in your pool or when you are trying to address cloudy pool water. For Diatomaceous Earth (DE) filters, you'll need to add new DE powder to the filter through the skimmer after each time your backwash.
The clarity of your pool water is based on three factors: physical, chemical and biological. Cloudy or green water may indicate that your filters are dirty or defective, your water isn't circulating properly, your pool chemistry is out of balance or that you have a buildup of algae.
Why is my pool pump noisy?
Although your pool pump won't likely be completely silent, louder than normal noises can indicate a problem. If your pump suddenly becomes noisier, you may hear a knocking sound, which can indicate higher pressure than normal. This situation, called cavitation, can damage your pump over time. Suction leaks or bad motor bearings may be to blame. ABC's skilled pool techs can diagnose any underlying problems and suggest a course of action.
Can you make repairs to my pool?
Our customers trust us with any problem they are having with their pools, whether the issue is related to the pump motor, filtration system, lighting, automation system or with leaks. Trust the experienced staff at ABC to quickly diagnose your problem and suggest a solution, so that you can get back to enjoying your pool.
How long do I need to run my pump?
Typically, you should run your pump about 8 to 10 hours during the summer months, when you are using your pool more often, and just four to six hours during the winter. As with many other parts of your pool's mechanics, however, the amount of time you should run your pump depends on several different factors. The best way to get recommendations on how long to run your pump is to ask your pool technician to take a look at your pool and the specific equipment you have.
What else can you do in and around my pool?
ABC is a full-service pool provider, so our technicians not only have the skills and training to keep your pool looking its best, but they can also perform needed any repairs, routine maintenance and can even remodel or replaster your pool.

Manuel's return to U-M began with a 'hell yes' in NYC
Search process for U-M's new AD included hotel conversation with President Schlissel
Manuel's return to U-M began with a 'hell yes' in NYC Search process for U-M's new AD included hotel conversation with President Schlissel Check out this story on Freep.com: https://on.freep.com/1WRNZbX
David Jesse and Mark Snyder, Detroit Free Press Published 10:02 a.m. ET Jan. 29, 2016 | Updated 2:00 p.m. ET Jan. 29, 2016
Warde Manuel is introduced as the new athletic director at Michigan in Ann Arbor on Friday, Jan. 29, 2016.(Photo: Kimberly P. Mitchell DFP)
As college football dignitaries gathered in early December in New York for the National Football Foundation's annual awards ceremony, representatives from Turnkey Sports and Entertainment were there, as well, having quiet conversations with those interested in the athletic director opening at Michigan, its newest client.
Among those talked to was Warde Manuel, the athletic director at Connecticut and favorite of many to become U-M's AD.
When Turnkey asked him whether he was interested in the job, Manuel said he was all in.
"I said, 'Do you really need me to answer that?'" Manuel told reporters today. "They said they needed to hear me say it. I said, 'Hell yes.'"
About two months after those initial conversations, Manuel was introduced today by U-M president Mark Schlissel, taking over from interim athletic director Jim Hackett.
While the consultants from Turnkey and an advisory committee of U-M stakeholders helped guide Schlissel, several people with knowledge of the search process said the decision to hire Manuel came directly from Schlissel.
While in New York, Manuel talked with former U-M athletic director Bill Martin about the job. Manuel worked under Martin in the U-M athletic department.
"We talked about his career, where he's going, and Michigan and the opportunity here," Martin said. "I think he would have been, at that time, very excited."
Manuel thought the conversations in New York went well, those with ties to him told the Free Press. They spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk publicly.
After he left New York, Manuel didn't hear much from U-M nor its representatives until around the holidays. He was asked to hold Jan. 20 open for a further interview.
Manuel flew in Jan. 20 and met in a metro Detroit hotel with Schlissel and a couple others. Schlissel asked the majority of questions in the 90-minute-plus conversation, those with knowledge of the talks told the Free Press. A follow-up phone conversation took place between Schlissel and Manuel three days later. It lasted about an hour.
In the time period between Hackett's announcement in December that he didn't want to be the permanent athletic director and Schlissel making his decision, several former U-M football players started emailing decision makers within the university, touting Manuel as the best candidate.
Manuel played football at U-M under Bo Schembechler, until a neck injury ended his football career. He then transitioned into the athletic department.
Jamie Morris was on the football team with Manuel for two years at U-M, in 1987-88
"He's a team-player type guy," said Morris, who worked in development at U-M while Manuel was overseeing individual sports in the athletic department. "He's going to put people in place who he trusts and he believes in, and he's expecting them to do their jobs."
Manuel was around as Michigan went through three ADs: Joe Roberson, Tom Goss and Martin.
"He came up in the athletic department, so he understands what goes on there," Morris said. "He worked in many areas of the athletic department. He's seen how things run as the administrator of football. He understands football. He played football. ... He knows the ropes of how to be an athletic director, but he went out and actually was on the job."
The job offer was made to Manuel earlier this week. He and his wife flew into Ann Arbor on Thursday and were scheduled to be at a private event hosted by Schlissel on Thursday evening, before today's formal introduction.
Takeaways from the presser:
Sharp: Manuel a good fit at U-M, if he knows his place
Manuel used U-M as model while Buffalo AD

Thank you to all the parents who are taking the time to study spelling words and reading with their child every night! Your efforts and hard work is paying off and becoming very evident in the classroom.
Please be sure you are checking your child`s backpack every night. Each day I try my best to write in every child`s book.
PLEASE send you child to school with their back pack EVERY DAY! Its hard to send things home when they have no back pack.
As I said last week I also now have the option of sending this out via email. So if you would like to receive the news letter please write your email address in your child's planner.
Conferences will be on the 27th and 28 of October. Sign up forms came home on Friday, if you need a new one please let me know. If I do not get a form back by Friday I will assign you a time.
October 6 McTeacher Night Fundraiser at McDonalds (Forest and 24 Hwy) Come eat at McDonalds and help earn money for our school!
Our class brought in over 100 box tops and earned the pajama party. The date has not been set yet but it will probably be next week. As a building we brought in over 1000 box tops. This is great for helping the school earn some extra money, as we earn 10 cents for every one we get. So please keep saving them and bringing them in! We will have another school wide competition in the spring and I have a jar in the classroom where we can start collecting now.
red, win, drum, will, bell, doll, skull, windmill, said, here, come, some, you, your ,are, all, to, do, be, was.
Monday- PE- Please wear tennis shoes or your child will not participate.
Smarty Ants is an online program our school uses to support developing reading skills. We now have it set up again so students can play at home if they wish. To access it all they need to do is go to play.smartyants.com. Their user name is Soendker and their password is their lunch number. All students should know their lunch number now, but if they don't let me know and I can send it home with them.
As parents, we all want to believe our children are smart and stand out as a good student in class. To look like the "smart kid" in class, often the child has to put effort into his/her work. Hand writing is neat and assignments are handed in on time, or even before they are due. A smart student is a child who is successful in class and does not need outside help to be an achiever.
A gifted student does not always "look" smart. Instead, the gifted student may not have to put much effort into his/her work and may not do the work at all if he/she does not see a reason for doing it. Gifted students may not have patience with the repeated practice that is usually needed for the average student. A gifted student's mind may be thinking so rapidly that handwriting is difficult to read which may cause the teacher not to realize what the student is actually able to do. Rarely do we see a gifted student that is good at everything. Usually he/she excels in a certain area like math or writing.
The surprising thing is that many gifted students need SUPPORT to be successful. If you feel your child is able to master the grade level curriculum without effort and needs more challenging work – talk to the classroom teacher. Ask for the teacher's input as to how your child does at school. There is a big difference between a parent working one on one with a child and his/her learning within a large group of students; so you need the classroom teacher's perspective. If you both feel that your child needs more of a challenge, think about referring your child for IMPACT's screening in the spring. Talk to the counselor or the student's classroom teacher about the procedure to refer a student. The deadline for first through fifth grade student names from each elementary school counselor to be turned in to the IMPACT teachers will be January 22th.

Why Midmarket Sponsors Struggle with Transparency and What They Can Do
Thomas Wicks
Transparency in clinical trials doesn't have to be difficult but requires attention writes Thomas Wicks, Chief Strategy Officer for TrialScope. Smaller organizations tend to lag in their commitments to clinical data sharing and be non-compliant with regulations, but the trend is shifting.
Clinical data transparency does not have to be difficult, but it does require attention. Large biopharmaceutical companies are steadily expanding their transparency commitments, and most have achieved solid compliance with disclosure requirements. Unfortunately, smaller organizations are generally lagging in their commitments to clinical data sharing and all too often are non-compliant with regulations.
While some organizations are failing to comply with disclosure regulations, external pressures continue to build. Not only are health authorities now including trial disclosure in their inspections and watchdog organizations are publicly naming and shaming individual organizations of all sizes, but investors and potential acquirers are also assessing a company's transparency practices as part of their due diligence processes.
Thankfully, the trend is shifting, and smaller organizations are starting to pay greater attention to clinical trial disclosure requirements, though they may face additional challenges than their larger peers.
The Pressure
Patients and trial participants
Patient groups and trial participants are increasingly vocal in their demand that clinical trial information should be made available publicly in a language and in a format that is meaningful to patients. This includes providing easily searchable lists about trials that are enrolling and plain-language results summaries. Providing this information supports trial recruitment and patient engagement efforts, which are important to companies of all sizes.
Health authority inspections
Although the earliest trial disclosure regulations were enacted almost two decades ago, there has been virtually no enforcement in that time. However, inspections for compliance with these regulations have now started, with Qualified Persons for Pharmacovigilance (QPPV) of affiliates in the European Union reporting that they had to provide evidence of compliance during recent quality and pharmacovigilance inspections. The FDA has completed a pilot program and is expected to start including disclosure compliance in its inspections going forward. To be ready for these inspections means preparing the necessary process documents and developing the supporting evidence to show that the processes were followed in full compliance of the regulations.
Transparency advocates and industry watchdogs have periodically published assessment of clinical trial disclosure practices for years. Initially, these were broad analyses of disclosure based on limited data and aggregated across sponsors, without focusing the data of specific organizations. In recent years, these analyses have become much more rigorous and now name and rank every trial sponsor irrespective of size or industry segment.
Investors and Acquirers
In 2015 a group of 85 pension funds and asset managers representing more than $3.8 trillion joined the AllTrials campaign. These investors view great trial data transparency as one way to mitigate brand and valuation risks. Those organizations planning to seek funding or those that expect to be acquired in the future may find that poor disclosure practices can create issues during the vetting process.
No central coordination and tracking
In smaller organizations, trial information is often made public on registries across the world, without centralized oversight and relying on documents that were created without disclosure in mind. While there may be documented processes in place for the largest trial registries, such as ClinicalTrials.gov, these are often managed locally, with little or no coordination across affiliates or the local CROs. With no consolidated view into the data made public or a central tracking of global regulations, executives lack awareness of the disclosure landscape and the risks of inconsistent or non-compliant processes.
Limited experience, resources, and automation
With a more limited trial portfolio, smaller organizations disclose clinical data less frequently, and so often lack comprehensive guidelines for assessing trial disclosure requirements as well as consistent processes for ensuring efficient and compliant public sharing of clinical data. With fewer trials, smaller organizations typically have few, if any, dedicated disclosure specialists and often no local staff involved in disclosure outside the US and perhaps the EU.
These resource constraints are further compounded by a lack of automation that could alleviate some of these issues. Most smaller companies do not have a central clinical trial management system (CTMS) that could ease the effort of registering and periodically updating clinical protocol information. Instead of systems designed specifically to support trial disclosure, these companies often rely on a manual approach perhaps tracked through various spreadsheets. The difficulty of a manual approach is adapting quickly changing requirements and responding to tightening deadlines and increasingly frequent updates that are mandated by regulation. Spreadsheets and manual disclosure processes also make responding to inspections more difficult and rarely provide a global transparency perspective to company executives.
Documents not authored with disclosure in mind
Larger biopharmaceutical organizations are implementing guidelines and templates for authoring protocols, clinical study reports (CSRs), and SAS datasets that support the clinical data sharing and disclosure requirements. While the purpose of implementing these new authoring approaches goes beyond preparing for disclosure, well-structured sources of information that consider the downstream data sharing requirements greatly facilitate efficient trial transparency and help ensure global consistency of the data that is made public.
Managing acquisitions, divestitures and name changes
As organizations acquire products or entire companies, they also assume the responsibility for the data of the trials related to the acquisition. Life sciences companies of all sizes often struggle to identify all trials associated with the acquisition, especially if the acquired entity has previously grown through their own mergers and acquisitions. In the European Union, this requires documenting every trial initiated since May 2004 for all acquisitions and then disclosing results for these trials if the previous organization had failed to do so.
On the other hand, when a company divests a product or division, trial disclosure of divestiture becomes the responsibility of the new organization. However, the original company's name will still be shown on the trial registry of the European Medicines Agency, which can mean a company might appear non-compliant, even if the responsibility has shifted to a new organization.
Identifying these older trials can be made even more difficult where companies have changed their name in the past fifteen years. In the US this is a little easier to manage, because the main registry, ClinicalTrials.gov, maintains a controlled list of organization names and allows updating the sponsor name of trials related to acquisitions or corporate name changes. In the EU, however, there is no controlled list of organization names and limited ability to change the sponsor name of acquired trials.
The answer: prioritize disclosure
With the industry's growing trend toward greater transparency and increasing pressure from health authorities, transparency advocates, investors, and patient groups, companies can no longer afford to consider trial disclosure just as a minor regulatory nuisance. Instead, trial disclosure deserves attention from the senior leadership at companies of any size, with agreement on an overall corporate transparency policy that clearly articulates the organization's commitments.
More than 90 countries have some form of disclosure requirement to share trial data on one of 30-plus trial registries, so sponsors should have central visibility into these requirements and the ability to track disclosure globally, ensuring compliance and consistency. Companies with smaller trial portfolios that lack the experience developed over frequent disclosures and those that cannot afford to hire dedicated specialists should consider working with a solution provider that offers both automation and disclosure services.

Following multiple reissue sets of Galaxy Laser Team mini figures over the past couple years, the latest incarnation of these classic space-fantasy toys is has arrived, and it's the biggest re-release to date. Literally. Earlier this year the old molds were unexpectedly found for the "jumbo" versions of these figures (which measure up to 4.75 inches tall), and brand new sets have been made!
According to the product description for this release, the super-sized versions were originally produced by Tim Mee Toys' parent company, Processed Plastic, in 1979 as a follow-up to the standard 2-inch mini figures released the previous year. They were typically sold under the name "Star Patrol."
The 2014 reissues have been produced in bright green, with each bagged set consisting of six figures: the Chewbacca-esque alien, the space hero, the stubby robot, the Vader-esque villain, an astronaut, and of course, the ever-awesome lobster-turtle alien. The paper header on the sets features the same type of fun, colorful artwork that we've seen on the previous Tim Mee reissues.
There are a couple of the mini figures that didn't make it into the jumbo set, including an astronaut in a different pose and the space heroine standing by her console. While the absence of the space-lady is especially noticeable, from what I have read she was never produced in jumbo size and a mold doesn't exist, which explains why she isn't included.
When you first get these figures in hand, you might be surprised by just how much larger they are than the mini versions. I know I was. As you can see above, they pretty much tower over them. These figures have a really solid feel to them, and are made of a hard and sturdy, yet somewhat flexible plastic. The details come through crisp and clear. It looks and feels like a high quality set.
I was especially excited to get a giant version of the lobster-turtle, as it's long been one of my favorite non-articulated figure sculpts. I immediately got the urge to pose him along with the smaller versions in all of the different colors that I own, and the result did not disappoint. The lobster-turtle overlord has found his minions! We can only hope that more colors will continue to be produced so they can join the ranks. There will never be an army of lobster-turtle aliens that is too big.
Aside from that classic weirdo, the super-sized figure I dig the most is the R2-D2-meets-mailbox robot. I don't know exactly what it is, but there's just something about this particular sculpt being in the larger scale that makes it extra fun. I love the textures on on it, and the fact that the jumbo version features the solid, fully-sculpted back instead of the hollow back that is seen on most of the mini versions.
If you're a Galaxy Laser Team fan, you'll no doubt want to add this set to your collection. And you can do just that via Amazon, where each set of six costs just under $16. Hopefully we'll see some more colors in the future. I'd love to see some glow-in-the-dark colors, or maybe a snazzy neon pink set.
I have the little white "turtle-crab" Star Patrol figure, still, from back in the day... If those giant-size reissues were gray, white, or black instead of neon-green; I'd pick up a set... Or even glow-in-the-dark, like you said- that would be SWEET!
They did a black and gray set a couple years ago, but it was the standard mini versions.
I had some of the originals as a kid and I think my grand parents might of gotten them from a Wolworths store along with a toy space gun and helmet I could ware too.
I love these things! I still haven't pulled the trigger on them, I need to save monies and my wife would kill me if I purchased more toys, lol!
That's why you don't tell her. ;) Just kidding. They are awesome though--hopefully you can grab a set eventually.
I had a few of the alien and robot only. Maybe I had that message from space set? I never knew where they came form.
I bought these jumbo figures in the early 2000s, and was puzzled til today; they have no markings, no date, anything that could reveal their origin. Now, the ones i own are of semi-rigid plastic, yellow, red and cream. My wife, then girlfriend, never liked them. Now, we moved into a cool loft, so I put them over the hanging wood panel that holds the lights over the table kitchen... and she loved them!

Last night when I got in from work at approximately 18.45, I crawled gratefully into my pajama bottoms and got in the mindset for a relaxing evening of trashy tv, (I had BINTM and Styled to Rock recorded). It was then that I received a phone call; my boyfriend had left gig tickets at home and needed me to bring them into central London for him. Sigh, back to the train station I shuffled. As a thank you though, he met me at H&M on Oxford Street and had bought me this jumper I'd mentioned I had my eye on, n'aww:) I really like the slouchy fit, and well, metallics are always exciting!
H&M have some such amazing autumn winter pieces in stock at the moment, and at such good prices! This jumper was just £14.99! Today I wore it with a tee underneath, also from H&M, which added a pleather collar to the equation...I also wore bright pink socks as, it is summer after all. I can't wait to wear it in the midst of winter with black skinny jeans and boots!
Whilst on an errand to buy many macaroons today, I walked past Madelaine from Britain and Ireland's next top Model - who's been watching? Who do you want to win? I want Lisa to win!
I'm your new follower! I just found you via lookbook.nu and I love your style. I'll be glad if you visited my blog.
LOVE this outfit, and that was so sweet of your boyfriend :) I need those trousers in my life!
I love Lisa! I really like America's Next Top Model as well, just because Tyra is so much more involved.
adore this style so much!
I am in love with this look! Peter pan collars = life. I only wish I had the courage to wear similar trousers in high school...they think I'm weird enough with my Dr Martens.
what a great jumper which will be perfect for winter, and what a lovely boyfriend you have there too!
I'm at work as I'm reading this, and i already imagined myself crawling into *my* pjs- 9 more hours to go! (how depressing). and you two are so sweet- you actually getting him the tickets, and him giving you a present. and what a lovely one at that! i especially love the peter pan collar- and i cant get over how cute your glasses are!


This glamorous Sony TRW-621 was manufactured in Japan circa 1960. It features a beautiful built in Seiko watch with alarm! Author Enrico Tedeschi suggests in his book 'The Magic of Sony' that the TRW-621 was the first radio with a built in watch. It was probably the first transistor radio with this feature.
Apart from the obvious highlight of having a built in watch, this TRW-621 also features a recessed stand for lounging, a gold metallic face and a textured metal speaker grill. The front half of the cabinet is colored ivory and the back is coral colored. This radio can also be found colored black with a coral back and ivory with a gray back.
It measures 4.4" x 2.5" (112mm x 65mm).
Ad for this radio taken from a Nov 1961 edition of Ebony Magazine.
Inside you will find 6 transistors. The serial number is 38008.


Spyderco's Lum Tanto fixed blade is also a synthesis of classic Japanese style and modern Western knifemaking methods. One of Spyderco's earliest fixed-blade designs, its hybrid blade shape combines a hamaguri (Appleseed) grind at the point, hollow-ground primary bevels, and a spine swedge. The traditional tsuba (guard) is replaced by an integral double guard that provides excellent hand protection without interrupting the sleek lines of the design. To ensure superior strength and exceptional balance, the handle has a full, tapered tang –- a rare feature on a production knife.


Often we desire a sense of belonging and to find a place we can call "home". The journey to finding oneself though isn't always easy. Through communities, however, we can find different perspectives that unite for a common goal and who work together to make said goals possible. These interactions can attribute towards finding our niche, or where we belong. So, where do you find community?
The term community is rather ubiquitous and has multiple meanings. Depending on the individual, the interpretation of this term may vary. The forms of expression of a community may also differ too. I find community in the department I study under, the institution to which I attend, my family and the town in which I reside in. What does the term community mean to you? Maybe it is a weekly bible study, your res hall, campus organization or job. I'd also make the connection that our planet is one giant community, full of diverse ecosystems that house numerous populations that interact and co-exist with one another. All organisms strive to survive but rely heavily on one another. Typically, we are there for each other, thick and thin. We never want to intentionally harm our neighbors but rather look out for them in a respectful manner.
Cobbers experience the sense of campus community long before we are admitted. Admissions do a good job at conveying this sense of embrace, and on any campus tour the Concordia community is evident. I'll admit, due to the strong sense of belonging I felt touring campus prior to enrollment, I furthered to consider coming to Concordia. I'm still here and it's a great place to be; however, it may not be the place for everyone and, that's okay.
Our diverse community is really something to embrace. We all have different interests, majors, beliefs, involvement, and we come together in times of need to celebrate, grieve, or address a issue like the campus calendar etc. Embrace the community you are a part of, and take care of it. Smaller communities also exist within campus as well as off. Becoming engaged in the numerous subset communities that exist supplies opportunities to meet fellow Cobbers as well as others in the region, nationally or potentially, globally.
Within our community, there are no strings attached. Become as involved as you like or not at all. Community, essentially, doesn't mean you have to become engaged on campus; however, these interactions and activates may strengthen connections with members within said community. Based on my experiences, I would define communities as uniting people together that strive towards a common end goal or mission together. As a college community, we follow a mission, which is to become "thoughtful and informed men and women dedicated to the Christian life." Together, regardless of the major or involvement we pursue, each of us collectively strives to "influence the affairs of the world".
These senses of community do not end, however, after college. That's important to remember. Each one of us will make transitions, whether rough or smooth, and find other opportunities to become engaged into new communities. Moving on to new communities doesn't mean that we have to disassociate from current or past bonds within communities. One can belong and thrive in many communities. Once we graduate, new doors open, as we become a part of the alumni community. As time grows on, our connections expand and become stronger.
Sometimes we are so caught up in the distractions and busyness of everyday life that we forget to acknowledge and appreciate this sense of community that we are a part of. Recently, I was reminded how important the community of the Concordia Chapel Choir was in my life. Reflecting upon our tour and home concert, I'm truly fortunate to belong to a large ensemble of 111 students from a diverse pool of majors that come diligently work together to share their talents to a larger whole to create beautiful music. Chords lock, harmonies soar and members in the audience are uplifted through joy. Although rehearsals can be demanding as well as taxing, sharing our gifts to the community, who may direly need the therapeutic feeling our voices can provide, is rewarding. It is through this goal that connects us all. Each one of our voices is needed and attributes largely towards reaching our mission. It is great to be a part of the Chapel choir community. What effect does your community have on you? I see similarities within teams, clubs or service groups.
Community, thus, is not something you simply buy with a ring, a robe, sweater or mug. It comes with time and is different for all of us. Don't assume everyone experiences the same sense of belong as you, and be open to other interpretations. Maybe you haven't found that sense of community, and know that is okay. Don't feel pressured nor settle in order to mimic the feeling of belonging. Do what you love and surround yourself with people who can appreciate what you bring to the table. Now and forever strong, we Cobbers certainly are. Personally, I am glad to be a part of this community and call Concordia my second home.

You have to love living in Perth for it's very lazy approach to Autumn. Right now it has been in the high thirties, perfect for long swims at the beach. I have yet to see any leaves change colour or indeed fall off and form piles to be jumped into. By this time last year, I had spent some time in Adelaide which takes Autumn seriously. This is largely due to the crazy number of European trees that were planted there over a decade ago. Perth doesn't tend to have the same tree heritage.
The good thing has been I've made it to the beach for calmer swims without the gusts of wind that summer smacks the ocean around with. The only downside to the fake Autumn being that I have all this cool Autumn/ Winter clothing that I am ready to be wearing already!
Of course, I am not going to dwell or complain about this fake autumn situation. The Northern Hemisphere is still being blanketed in snow as the first official day of spring came and went. I feel for you guys!
It's actually embarrassing to admit how much new denim I have accumulated in just a few weeks. I'd done a massive clear out of old, ill-fitting stuff and am little by little replacing any of the key staples for a better fitting alternative. Though, don't get me wrong, I have NO desire to re-accumulate more than I need. Clearing out the old made it obvious what I was missing, that's all.
These jeans were one pair I mentioned in the wardrobe update video I shared last week, which you can watch now on YouTube here. I also talked about this shirt, which I now have in both white and black via Bohemian Traders. They are THE softest shirts! I can not get enough. Perfect for fake autumn.
And for anyone who is sick of seeing my little Furla bag, first of all, HOW DARE YOU!! haha and secondly, I have my eye on this new style Furla have brought out. What do you guys think? Should I invest in a new one? Is it upgrade time?
This last look is sort of that perfect blend of summer and autumn. Pairing woven slides with a bamboo bag seem to be the perfect summer easygoing combination, right? Somehow, though it seems a miss-match, I really liked these summer hits styled with the jeans and knit. It may not make for the most obvious combination but the warm neutral tones tie it all in while the jeans take a comfortable backseat. And I am still talking MAX comfort in these jeans. You will not be surprised to learn I have a different wash of the same cut in these Levi's Wedgie straight jeans on the way. And I have to keep using the Cult Gaia bag! It'd be rude not to! It commands so much attention!
This knit is one that you will see me continue to wear in winter, it is a beautiful cotton in just the right tone. Mesop is an Australian brand I discovered late last year. I've worn them a bit on my Instagram @inspiringwit but will have to do a bigger feature up here soon. I think the quality of their pieces is definitely worth sharing with you.
Before I sign off I just thought I'd share my picks from the Shopbop sale going on right now. There are some good ones! Use the code: SOEXTRA on selected items to take up to 75% off. But be quick about it! The sale ends soon.

And SOOO affordable! alice + olivia Heart Print Midi Dress – Now this is an elegant party dress! Perfect for day or night. Furla Metropolis Mini Bag – The extra sparkling version of my classic Furla mini bag.
Trademark Bucket Bag – SO cool! This one comes in black or olive green and is one of the coolest bucket bags I've seen.
Happy hunting! I hope you find something good in there! I am waiting for an order and can not wait to share what I got this time! If you want to shop my style and my edits, I have added a shop page to the blog here. It is always linked in the top navigation panel. I'll be updating my picks of the best new in essentials and any sales from sites and brands that I use and trust. This year I decided to add a few more ads to Inspiring Wit, as I want to share the main places I shop from and love most. People always ask where I am shopping so I want this to be easy to find.

Near the end of my freshman year of college, I started to look for work for my summer break. A close friend of mine helped me get a position with a stage crew at a local Live Nation venue. With that, my career in live entertainment began. There was no training day or a "come in and get your feet wet" period; you had one chance to prove you could do it or look for work elsewhere.
On my first day, I was tasked with loading in Joni Mitchell and a 40-piece orchestra. All seemed to go well, and it was an easy start to a job. Within two weeks, I was loading in cathedral backdrops for Don Henley and setting up drums for Mike Portnoy. Over the summer, I worked close to 30 shows, covering every style of music possible. I also was tapped to be a runner since the venue was in my hometown and I could help with local needs. To pass time on long days, I also helped set up hospitality in the band's dressing rooms.
At the time, I was studying for a job in radio broadcasting, so working the stage portion of the industry seemed to fit in pretty well. After working that first summer, I realized I enjoyed the live set up of a concert more than the "behind the mic" life of radio. There was never a better feeling of accomplishment than seeing a performance start from an empty stage and turn into a large-scale production, then disappear again within a few short hours. I would spend the next three years working at the theater on my breaks from school.
Although I enjoyed working the stage and live events, I was still in school pursuing my first love of radio. I served as an office assistant for a year, and then was promoted to the Loud Rock Music Director for the school's radio station, WECS. My days were spent working with promotion companies in getting new and upcoming artists on the radio and played on our station. For two years, I worked charting "Spins" on our station, and reporting them to College Music Journal (CMJ) and the national publication, FMQB. I was also one of the directors for the station. I along with 2 other musical directors was responsible for schedules and monitoring the station while students and locals were on the air.
I also spent a year as a promotions intern at the local Hartford radio station, The Rock 106.9 WCCC. The station was an independent rock station that has been in Hartford for over 50 years. Constantly evolving to keep with the times, yet also playing host to classic rock, WCCC has always been a staple of Connecticut radio. It was also the first station in the US to give shock rock Howard Stern his own radio show.
My internship helped me get ready for JHE much like my stage job had. Get to an event, set it up in a short time, and execute something the fans would enjoy. We always had to look ahead for items that would cause a "hic-up" or impose a problem.
The basics I learned during my internship have proven true in my career at JHE. As the Senior Production Coordinator/Concert Producer, I have to remember to always be a step ahead, envision problems (and solutions) that could arise and be willing to be flexible. When I came to work at JHE, there were only a few live entertainment events on a large scale. I used the knowledge I had gained, along with time and dedication to prove I could successfully run big events like Food Lion Speed Street.
Over the years, I have used my knowledge and passion to continue to grow the department, enabling us to tackle any event thrown our way. JHE's potential for further growth is exciting, and I'm looking forward to the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.

Hope is a belief in a positive outcome, but what if hope is a fantasy based on ….
.................. … based on what the media like me to believe?
A couple of years ago I started reading different website who gave a more relevant view of life and the economy than the newspapers do. Newspapers that's don't give an honest view of what really goes on in the world today is my experience. I think that's why people make decisions in life based on false information.
Although I know that hope is a belief in a positive outcome that keeps you from being pessimistic, what if hope is based on a fantasy kept intact by the lies spread through the media and politics?
Politics, the process by which groups of people make collective decisions.
It is an extremely unrealistic outcome to believe that the economy is on track to recovery. Years ago, it was clear to me that I needed to get rid of my dept, even though a house loan was considered a good investment, … in the media! History told me it was the right thing to do to skip a few holiday's and quickly pay what was left of my dept. So I did over the last two years and look what happened to the housing market in the US.
Collective decisions are made almost on a daily bases with the democratic process in mind?
Do we see so much unhealthy foods in the stores, because we want it?
Is our living so expensive because they need our tax money to divide it under the 'poor'?
Do you have the feeling - like me - being deprives from your money with open eyes everyday!
Isn't it time to do something about it, …. together?
Is voting the best option?
Or do you vote with your wallet to buy or don't but the things you're against?
