Something else for every college graduate to decorate their first apartment with - a solar panel they don't know how to use! just kidding. This is actually a great idea. Costco is starting to sell them too out in California.Brian http://www.total-solar-solutions.com Perfect!

Drag the flat packed panels home and set up our own mini solar generation system. That would be sweet, and you'd have yet another extra allen wrench and two random screws as well as solar power.

Hamlet the character lends his name to the title of the play containing him. He is therefore the eponymous character of the play. If IKEA were the name of a real or invented "big-box colossus" lending its name to retail outlets, then with respect to those outlets we might call IKEA eponymous. However, IKEA <i>is</i> the outlets and the manufacturer, so the use of the word "IKEA" on its stores amounts to calling itself by its own name. When Mike uses his given name on the byline, he does not become the eponymous Mike Chino, but when big box-stores start calling themselves Chino's....
