UPDATE 10/20/2005: The administration decided to relocate the deviation to scraps. I have removed it from scraps as it is NOT A SCRAP. It has been placed back in the category it belongs: Designs -> Miscellaneous.
UPDATE 10/22/2005: The administration yet again relocated the deviation to scraps and has not been forthcoming with a reason. No notes were sent explaining the reasoning behind the relocation. Since this is NOT A SCRAP I have moved it back out of scraps. When will these people get the idea?
