"Mission," is a word with a meaning that can be found in most, if not all, English dictionaries.

I was a night club and private party DJ using the name DJ Teddy Bear. So I used that on the many DJ forums I used to belong to, as well as here.
Had I known at the time how important WoV and its people would become to me, I would have used my real name here, Dave Miller.
For the record, even though I no longer DJ, I still maintain my website, http://djteddybear.com

Quote: RigondeauxBut which mission is mission 146?
The one that I am on, of course.
There's really not much of a story behind, '146.' I wanted my first E-Mail address (that I set up when I was a kid and haven't even looked at in over ten years) to simply be, 'Metallicat,' but to my chagrin, someone already had that one. I think it was a Hotmail account, but I could be wrong. I was a huge Metallica fan at the time.
Anyway, my friend who was helping me set up the E-Mail suggested that I add some numbers to the end of it. I closed my eyes and ran my hand over the number pad (because I didn't want to use my birthday, or anything) and out popped, '146.'
I just use, '146,' at the end of things now, but it doesn't signify anything at all.

Quote: DocDidn't Frank Baum write about a dozen sequels? Did your attempt to conform to all of the evolutions he described in the Land of Oz and the Ozites?
Its more complicated than that
In the 90s baums books started entering public domain. Caliber comics(most famous for first printing the Crow) began a series called Oz later retitiled Dark Oz. It was a huge hit
Baum himself contradicted his own books rewriting events past and with most people familiar with the Judy Garland musical it was decided to take the best from both and craft a few changes where necessary
I obtained the rights to turn the comics into a film and spent 8 years shopping it in Hollywood. The producers of the Batman and Transformers franchises were both involved at one point as well as the producer of Bridge to Terabithia and Pras Michel of the music group The Fugees
I wrote the novel based on the screenplay to further recognition of the project
Unfortunately Disney greenlit Oz the Great and Powerful which caused my project to fall apart
If u r an Oz fan though I believe u will really enjoy it

The original novel by Baum was published 1898 so yes no copyright
However there are things that you cannot use such as Characters introduced in later books. There were 40 sequel books
Images originating with the 1939 musical. Best example the book had silver slippers. Ruby slippers are still under copyright (currently Warner Brothers which obtained the rights from MGM)

As for my own forum handle, it's a reference to the fact that I make my posts from a small office at the Department of Commerce, though when I signed up I neglected to capitalize the final letter and couldn't change it later.
And if you believe that, I have some nice, moderately-priced instructions and suggestions for how to improve your dice game. Demonstrations not included.
On the other hand, the name could be the one used by some of my students while we played basketball together in the evenings and they felt the classroom appellation was a little too formal for use on the court.

I tried uploading a different Nyan Cat a little while ago.

'Bases Loaded' is a baseball term of course, when 1st, 2nd, and 3rd base are occupied. Any further hits, walks, or errors will drive in a run. (not interested in sacrifices)
In CRAPS bases loaded means you have a Pass/Come bet on every box number with full odds. (Across betting is not the same)
The betting is continuous COME betting, with full odds.
Once the bases are loaded every box number rolled creates an 'Off and On' payout of the Pass/Come flat bet and the odds.
You are now 'printing money'!

What information can I give you for advice on how to ensure a healthy harvest of what we think are "white piri" mangoes? I'm not lazy to Google; I will, but prefer info from friends or farmer friends. We only have one tree, and the harvest count in the last 3 years was 65, 37, 62 . . We had a professional tree cutter trim the tree after 1st harvest. The tree was just uber-healthy! Our entire neighborhood must have at least 1 mango tree in their yard; some have 3 trees!Quote: DeMangoUsed to grow mangos.
We can freeze some and save for making smoothies!
Each of our fully ripened fruit was almost the size of a softball, and the flesh was clean and without strings, thin skin, very gently aromatic, small seeds. There are now about 25 fruit, each about 3.5" long. We estimate harvesting around late May/early June.
Here's a few pictures . . .
Single tree in full bloom
Bad lighting, but shows a small grouping
About 3.5" long
