Huh... I thought it was supposed to be Jinpei...
Ohh, now ISO have their alternative source of energy!
lol It would certainly be a different take on weapons for the team
I'm going with the Jinpei guess too, much to hard to vision my guy looking like that!

It certainly was a creative idea... Katse made mecha out of *anything*!
He must have watched Blue Peter (BBC children's programme) as a kid and still watches it for ideas.
Not into Pokemon - but I adore Pikachu (so cuddly and cute).
Love both the Gatch & Mecha Pikachu!!!!!

This is the second year I have a high interest in pokemon in my class.
I wish I could find more books for grade ones to read/look at.
*actually no, correct that, I wish the Pokemon books I get for my class would stay in the class, not disappear home.
Children get to take home books for Snuggle Up and Read time, and then do not return them.
That is how I lost all my Franklin books last year too.
Oh well all I can hope is that they are well love in their new home.*

I should say the books need to be cheep too. If I am just going to loose them again. I do not want to spend $6 a book.
Will just have to keep an eye out in those Scholastic Book club orders.
Cloud, for the books: try putting a big flouro post it note on it with a note that the books belong to you and need to be returned by (usually a week).
That way the parents know as well. It's great to have kiddies reading, but they also need to learn about ownership and borrowing as well, and grade 1 is a good time to start learning that.

Post it notes fall off in childrens backpacks or the baggies the books go home in. I even tried a sign out system but, do you know how long it takes to do all this by hand for, at the time 22 grade ones. They sign out a new book every night. That takes a while. And grade ones have a hard time writing the title of the book correctly or legibly so I can read who, what or when. (And before any one asks no, no parent volunteers in my school to help either.)
Is there anywhere that will do discount for larger orders that way you could maybe do a book club or get a bookstore to come in and see if they can make some sales?
This used to be done at my son's school and was very successful.
Other than that is there anywhere on line that these can be printed from?

We have the Scholastic Book Fair come into our school twice a year, during interview time.
But money from the sales of books go towards the Library. We can put in requests as teachers for books we would like to see in the classroom and parents are welcome to buy them. I think it is a great idea for a Christmas present, as one of the sales is usually in December, when parents are starting to think about what to get for their childs teacher.
I would rather have books for the classroom than a box of chocolates. Although I will not turn down a box of chocolates either. It's just, I really do not need 20 boxes. 
As for finding books online to print. I do have a few sites that I use but they do not have "big name" books, if you know what I mean. No Arthur, Franklin, Clifford, the Littles, Stuart Little, TMNT, Spiderman, etc. I am more likely to find phonic related books like Stan the Man or The Fat Cat.

Around here, Scholastic holds a big warehouse sale that I can go to 2 or 3 times a year. They often have tons of stuff cheap... last time I went I picked up a pile of Captain Underpants for my daughter, as well as some Magic Treehouse and a bunch of other things.

My daughter loves Captain Underpants. A boy in her Grade 1 class showed one to her and she has loved it ever since. We have the whole series now..

However, she picked up some Scooby Doo novels at the Scholastic warehouse sale and those have worked out well for us.

The TTC scares me even more than driving in the city does.
I can navigate my way out of a forest in the country with no problems, but put me in the city and I panic.
I have told my friends if they want to take me on the TTC make sure they never leave my side, walk one step ahead of me and I would love it if they made me wear one of those leashes you see children wearing, so the child does not get lost.
Besides I think the Scholastic warehouse is in Rexdale not TO. I know Rexdale is not the big city, but to me it is big enough. (Country bumpkin here! Grew up with nearest town having population 500.)
I've never been to the Scholastic sale in TO, so I'm not sure where it is
the TTC is actually not too bad, as subway systems go, and (at least when I lived there) the people who work there are very friendly and willing to help you if you're lost.
In any case, I hope you get to go!

This is the bowing smilie I was looking for in that other thread.
How did I miss it?
LOL! More of a case of having lots of friends from around the world. I can swear in 4 different languages (English, Quebecois French, Japanese, and Cantonese)! *grin*
I happen to be a bit of an Anglophile while growing up. I watched way too many British comedies and Doctor Who is one of my all time favourite TV shows! So I know a few British slang terms.
I'm teaching myself Japanese with a lot of help from my Japanese penpals and friends (both here in Canada and in Japan). I talk to my friend in Hokkaido, Japan at least once a week via MSN Messenger and my webcam. My Japanese is very basic. I'm great if I can use my books, but speaking without them I'm limited to basic conversation. I can read and write hiragana and katakana but only know a dozen or so kanji from memory.

Storms season! I love it!Kyoo no tenki wa doo desu ka? (How is the weather today?) - that's one of the first phrases I learnt.
I have always wanted to learn Japanese and I realized that if I didn't give it a try now, I would never do it. I've always been more interested in British tv programming over the US (for the most part - there are exceptions). With shows like The Avengers, Danger Man, The Prisoner, Doctor Who, Blake's 7, Jeremy Brett's Sherlock Holmes, Life on Mars, Hustle - to name a few - I'm in TV heaven.
As for Japanese TV programming, Battle of the Planets is the show that introduced me to anime and got me hooked. Then it was Robotech (Macross Saga especially), Lupin III, Ranma 1/2, and anything by Hayao Miyazaki and so on.
I have to admit that I'm pretty much ignorant about Australia except I do know who Ned Kelly is. 
Oh and one of my fav obscure Sci-fi authors is Australian - A. Bertram Chandler ("Come In. This is Liberty Hall; you can spit on the mat and call the cat a bastard!").

TTC subway? I loved it when I lived there. Frequent trains, and very easy to follow the system map. Bus map's a bit more complicated. But every single place you call knows the nearest subway station and which bus to take.
As for books in the classroom, I vote for big stickers on the front, "property of CD, please return after reading". (Just don't cover the important part of the cover, I hate it when magazines do that. Great cover art, covered by the mailing label.)
If you really do want them to sign them out, maybe give each book a number; write down your name or initials, and the book number, rather than the title.
I spent many hours on this site one year when helping the grade 2 teacher:
www.readinga-z.com
Learning to fold the books is a bit tricky, but doable. I printed them from online once, then make photocopies for use. We didn't bother with the colour covers. The books are pretty interesting, good mix of fiction and non-fiction. There are also question sheets and charts to help you record reading abilities, but she didn't use them.
Cheers!

LOL! Thanks Amy. Usually the only time I swear a lot is at my computer. I can curse like a sailor when it comes to my computer.
As for the TTC, I remember before I moved to Toronto I was terrified of taking it. As it turns out - it isn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. It basically only runs in two directions: the North/South lines and the West/East line. All stops are announced on a regular basis now (about time). Actually the TTC got taken to the Human Rights court for not announcing the stops as discrimination against the blind.
Buses can be a bit more trickier but the bus drivers are obligated to announce all stops now (as mentioned above) and some buses have this built in an automated system (which is pretty cool). What I hate when it comes to buses is the people who ride them... especially the people who stand at the front of the bus blocking the entrance. I usually hit them as I walk by (I'm a wide shoulder guy).
If I can navigate the TTC - anyone can do it! I suck at navigating.

Navigating I think I could do. Well .......
What frightens me most about TO and the TTC is the number of people. With all those people around I feel too crowded and worry I will be pushed off at the wrong stop or get trapped on the subway so I can not get off at the correct stop.
(Remember I am use to living in a community where the closest town had a population of 200+. The city I am living in now is as large as I can handle. When the neighbors get too noisy and the dog wants to run, that is when I wish I could move back into the country setting I am use to.)

And I would be pushed out with him.
*Cloud stands on the platform with tears rolling down her face in hysterics, or in full panic mode, as the train leaves without her. Wondering where her Eagle is to rescue her.*
CD, I wouldn't worry about being pushed off a bus/subway and missing your stop - I have never seen that happen ever. People might push past you but they will never actually move you.
Sure the buses and subway can get crowded during rush hour but then that means it is mostly standing room (the seats are taken) - there is always some room to move. And if people don't get out of the way (like those selfish idiots who like to block entrances/exits) then you yell at them to get out of the way or push your way past them! *grin*
Sometimes the TTC can be very stressful to ride on but usually it isn't that bad. I know when I'm on the subway, I'm usually reading my notebook that I write my Japanese lessons in or I'm taking a nap.
I'm originally from a small village near Kingston, Ontario (Newburgh - Population less than 700!). I didn't have cable until I moved to Kingston for my university days. The place didn't get cable until the late 90s. I know I like my elbow room and sometimes the crowds here can be too much but if I could adjust then anyone can.

Except I do not think I will ever find TO a place I would enjoy. I am a country person at heart, (Drop me in a field blindfolded and I will find North and my way home, drop me in the city and I will curl up in a ball trembling like the mouse I am.) I exaggerate a little, I adjusted to city life when I went to University in Thunderbay and am slowly adjusting to life on the outskirts of Toronto, but grew up in a tiny village in Caledon called Sandhill. If you are lucky you may find it on a map. A very LARGE scale map. They still don't get cable (probably never will) and can only use dial up internet.
Actually I used to hate living in Toronto but once I found friends here, life became much more tolerable. There are days were the crowds get to me (actually it is the extremely selfish, self-centred rude people that annoy me) and there are days that I loved being able to go to the places that I wouldn't have access to if I wasn't here (like the Japanese supermarkets/stores, my local Chinese Supermarket, the local Bagel shop, etc).
I guess I have a hate/love relationship with Toronto these days. 
But deep down, a part of me is still a country boy at heart. That's probably one of the reasons that I like Ryu as much as I do.

It's very interesting reading your posts, because I grew up in the heart of North York (before it was part of the 'Mega-City') and I was taking the TTC by myself (subway and bus) at age 11 to get to and from school. I miss being close to downtown shopping and other fun activities now (I'm in suburbia... just about halfway between two major cities in a giant bedroom community), but honestly as I get older and find myself more tied down to the house, I find that as long as I have a big local grocery store and internet connection, I don't care as much. LOL!
In any case, I've used subway systems in multiple cities on three different continents, and I would say that the TTC is up there for ease of use and overall politeness.
Oh, and CD, if the worse EVER happens to you (not that it will, because, like Tim, I've never seen it happen) and you get pushed off of a train, just wait for the next one. It won't be that far behind.

Maybe some day I will get the courage to navigate the TTC on my own. If I ever need to get into the Big city. For now this part of the world provides all the things I need.
Except for the store SJ mentioned where she can find the BOTP DVD's I need. I can not find them on the shelf up here.
There was a video game/dvd small store in the 'Atrium on Bay' plaza/mall (downtown) that had used Rhino BOTP DVDs for sale for 9.99 but it has been months since I've been there. I also picked up a Gatchaman box set in North York at a Best Buy.
Here's my "infamous" bus story. Years ago when I was going the factory job I had to get up really early to catch the bus so I could get to work for 7am. One morning I had about 4 hours sleep and I got on the bus and everyone was standing at the front of the bus and there was plenty of room near the back.
I kept saying, "excuse me, excuse me," as I tried to make my way to the back of the bus. No one would move so I then said in a loud voice, "For those who don't understand... excuse me means GET THE F*CK OUT OF THE WAY!" Boy, you should have seen the people move! They parted like the Red Sea.
I'm usually a very easy going guy. It takes a lot to make me blow my top but 4 hours sleep and going to a job that was slowly killing me certainly would do it. Basically I'm a nice guy but piss me off and I will get all Gallactor on your ass. *grin*

I think she says I left, throwing the work on the counter, and muttering something about "If she does not have time to meet with me she can do it herself."
I've never had a problems on the TTC. It was the Go train that gave me hassles. I was pushed from behind and fell down the stairs at Union Station.

So he comes on the train. I guess he liked what he saw because I had my walkman on and he flashed a roll of bills at me and then asked me if I would service him in the bathroom! My response...after I picked my jaw off the ground..."Fuck off! Leave me alone!" and grabbed for my pepper spray...
So he leaves..then comes back and asks me if "I'd mind if he jerked off!". I screech at him with pepper spray ready, "I don't give a fuck what you do, just get the fuck away from me!" So he leaves, and I saw him get off the train.
A few more minutes pass by...no sight of him..so I settle down and start reading one of leftover papers.
Then I get the feeling that someone is watching me...so I flip the paper down and LO AND BEHOLD! THERE HE IS! PANTS AROUND HIS ANKLES ENJOYING HIMSELF AND STARING AT ME!
So I dropped the paper, grabbed my purse and ran off the train in disgust!

Now picture an innocent little Cloud 
sitting there saying "What is going on? What do I do now? Where is an Eagle to help me?"
While she curls up in a ball and tries not to notice what is happening. :
Dont you just hate when people behave like that!

It was a "No shit! There I was!" kinda thing. It was hot & humid and there was no way I was leaving the air-conditioned train! So I was quite irritable to begin with and not thinking that clearly because of the heat.
I guess the Condor in me came out...well I did have pepper spray, stiletto heels and a very large, very sharp and quite illegal blade. A "Tanto". Picture a 16" mini samuri sword. Not that I'd ever dream of using it, but when sheathed it makes a beatin' stick! I believe it is considered a japanese woman's weapon. It fits nicely in my obi and looks great with my kimonos.

I can see that you are a force to be reckoned with, Kimi! 
Our Kimi is quite the condor
I have never really had any problems in Toronto or Montreal. I was 12 at the oldest when I lived in Montreal and used to take the buses and Metro by myself. I took ballet lessons downtown and I lived in Ville LaSalle, so there I'd be with my leotards and shoe bag in hand sitting in the front seat nearest the driver. (Mom insisted on that!)
The driver was always the same guy. A grumpy-looking guy, never spoke much, more like grumbled and grunted and didn't speak english. He kind of reminded me of Rene Leveques having a really bad hair day!
There was one time, a guy got on the bus, looked at me sitting there, said something in french that I didn't understand, but the driver did! He slammed on the brakes, started screaming at this guy, grabbed by his collar and threw him out the door! He then sits back in his seat, nods his head at me like "There I showed him who's boss!" and just continues driving.
I presume the guy said something disgusting my way, but my french was much more limited than today!
It always seems that in the Suburbs is where I get hassled. Even here in Hamilton, the crazies leave me alone. Mind you it could be the Pitbull in tow!

I think your Condor pitbull probably has a lot to do with it, Kimi!
