Great Video! You did a great job. I'm looking forward to the other promos.

I'm going to offer my services to the FISD. I need to lose weight like most people I know. However, I do have a M.S. in Exercise Physiology and have my certification as a Certified Strenght and Conditioning Specialist. So, if anyone wants advice, or cheering on, I'm offering those options to the FISD. All detachments need their own fitness club, we have one now, and I'm offering to be the personal trainer there. Hope to see you there. And remember we all need to be more fit (unless you are an olympic athlete and then all bets are off).

Okay, I'll post pics when I get the nerve up to have someone take them. As for helping out...um, I have a Master's Degree in Exercise Physiology. So I'm offering my services to everyone here in the Fit Club. If you have questions, want some help figuring things out. I'll be an online personal trainer here. I'm not your typical personal trainer so don't expect the same old, same old here. As for my fitness goals... I have had many injuries in the past year, and I'm a comfort eater, so that said, I've got about 120 lbs to lose. I've lost 85lbs in the past 6 months so I'm on track right now. Current weight: 290 lbs. Goal weight: 160-170 lbs. Exercise Plan: Wii Fit Plus 4 days a week using hand weights; TaeBo 3x a week (got my sister involved here). Will be adding strength training as soon as I get a different job and a new apartment. See you at the club!

Kudos to her. Couldn't have done that when I graduated though...we had problems with the heat (June in Los Angeles anyone?) and they were passing around ice water to the graduates. Also, sitting in a TK outfit would have been painful, and we sat for 3 hours... Love the fact that yes, she is getting critiqued on her armor. The NZ garrison definitely needs to contact this trooper and get her enlisted!

Thank you to everyone who responded and those that perhaps worked behind the scenes. They reached 10,000 members by last night and the numbers are still growing. I really hope that ABC looks at this and decides that perhaps Scott and Carol do need their help. Thanks again to all the troopers here who helped out.

Hi, I don't ask for things usually, but this time its personal. My cousin and his wife went through an incredible trial two years ago, when his wife almost lost her life during and after giving birth to their second child. The end effects were, she lost her sight, both her legs, her left arm, and right ring finger to toxic shock syndrome, or a colonized infection. Last spring she and her husband moved back to be near his parents to help care for their children. They purchased a house with the intentions to renovate it to make it more "user-friendly" for her. Unfortunately with the economy the way it is, they cannot do the renovations. Their community has come together and is sponsoring them for the American TV show, "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition." They have a facebook site, and I would love to have as many of the FISD who are on Facebook join the group. The more in the group the more attention will be raised. They have an event on Friday night, and unfortunately I live halfway across the country from them. Anyone who is in Western WA though is more than welcome to show up. The link to the facebook page is here: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/group.php?gid=112160658809224 The link to my cousin's blog telling the whole story is here: http://www.sccsdecker.blogspot.com Hopefully we'll be successful. Thanks.

Actually, they are part of the easter egg decorating kit. It has Yoda on the front, but they are really cool. They are going fast (only have 2 left at my Target as of yesterday) so you might want to hurry down and get them.

Cool! Now I can work on my Battlestar Galactica Pegasus Squadron costume and not feel guilty! Death to all Cylons! (runs and grabs the 4 page armor history she has compiled, feeds it into the paper shredder and makes confetti.) Oh, and Daetrin...if you're recasting...can I have my armor in green?

What an honour for you. I'm glad that he was given his rightful respect on his final parade. I know that many times we forget that Canada has served as hard and as long in military conflicts all over the world as have other nations. This is a tragedy. Thank you for posting these pictures.

Matt, that's awful! I understand the financial difficulties in purchasing new armor, but please don't leave the FISD boards. I am waiting until finances are a little more secure myself before finishing off my TIE uniform, and I don't know when I'll be able to afford TK or TX armor...that doesn't mean you have to leave. You are still a part of the FISD!!!! I've always felt welcome here. So should you. Just give yourself a big Tigger bounce and perhaps you'll be able to find those %#&$@*! who took your armor.

Can he come and destroy all the Spongebob stuff in the store I work at? Who knew that the yellow square was a Rebel and a traitor? All I can say about the cat is...Smart cat!

Moral of the story, don't go wandering off alone. Better to fight as a group like Daetrin said. Glad to see the calf wasn't too badly injured. But it was amazing to watch the crocs and the lions tug-o-war over the prize. Thanks for posting!

I kept telling people at work today "Happy Pi Day" and they didn't get it. I got tired of explaining so stopped. But to everyone here, Hope you had a Happy Pi Day, and that if you live in an area that did go to Daylight Savings Time, may your body clock recover soon. Gotta run because even though my body clock says it is only 9:00, the wall clock says it is 10:00...

Really cool pics. I hope no snow troopers were truly injured during the photo shoot.

Oh great, not only did we lose the hockey game to his country, we have to answer to him with regards to tutorials now...what more can we endure????? JK Terry. I couldn't be happier for you. Your skills and help are invaluable and will only be an asset to the FISD. Congrats my friend!

Love the new look, but when I tried to find it last night using the old link...it was broken So I had to google it, but found it It looks great, and easy to navigate, find things, and look up. I'm so impressed with everything the FISD Administration has done with the boards. I look forward to the great work they do and um, how are you going to top this one?

Okay, not into flatulence jokes, but that said, I loved the "You can't have a droid, Phil..." Overall really fun.

Okay, had to respond even if a bit late. Austria to me means: Spanish Riding School, Vienna. Still hope to go there someday soon.

Hope you are surviving round 2 right now. At least the snow we got last weekend is melted off the roads, now if we can just battle the cold temps. Stay safe. Love the photoshopped pictures. They are awesome! Um, don't look now, but you have a Wampa behind you!

Congratulations on being elected DL again Paul. You've done a great job here on the FISD, and I hope you continue to make it a place people want to come to find out all they can about the TK and some TX uniforms.

I don't want to hear about it. We had 5 inches of snow yesterday, and more expected tomorrow. Plus, on Tuesday we are supposed to have a low of 9 degrees and a high of 25. I'm so tired of winter, where's the global warming we're supposed to be experiencing? All I know is I'm cold!

Congrats! You're posts have been very instructional and helpful, both of you.

Okay, I finally saw it, and I liked it but it will never replace Star Wars in my heart. I agree with most of what you said Alex, but I disagree on other levels. Yes, Avatar did push the boundaries of technology and visual effects, but so have other films during their times. The difference is Star Wars set the standards in both filmmaking and story telling. I know George Lucas doesn't like screenplay writing, but he did such a good job with ANH, that in many ways he revolutionized the way films are made. I know historians will argue the points, but how many science fiction films do you think would be made today if Star Wars hadn't been made? And I know trekkies will come crawling out of the woodwork to get me on this one, if Star Wars hadn't been made...there would have never been an original Star Trek movie or any others. And all this was happening long before the expansion of Star Wars outisde of movie making...books, comic books, etc. Okay back to Avatar..same story has been told again, and again and again. Bad corporation, invasion of planet (country, town), attempted extermination of inhabitants, exploitation...even Disney had much of the same story in their Pocahontas (sp?) without all the cool visual effects. Kudos to James Cameron for visual effects, but I don't see Avatar having a tremendous impact down the road. Just my 2cents. Agree or disagree if you like.

Release date is only 9 days after my birthday! I know what I'm going to ask for! Whether I get it or not is another story, but woohoo! What a great book. I love the "Making of Star Wars" and this sounds like it will be just as good.
