As long as those rich people are paying for these gold labels, scammers will continue to trim the cards (or make it perfect). Eve if BGS rejects grading, the scammers can sell it as raw. It is a perfect business (or scam) that has no risk of losing, but possible of 5x profit.
Also, BGS will not spend time to do research on the history of the card. Considering that we are only paying them $20ish for BGS, mostly Beckett would not bother to spend an hour to dig out everything about this card. If there is no notable warning from the initial review, then the card will be graded. |

BGS should ban future submittals from this person. I realize there are ways around it. I doubt they can or would modify their report for this card.
The current seller didn't even use a different account to buy it. Are people like this simply using a razor to trim the card? |

I was very active in buying Jordan and Kobe stuff and getting them graded. My normal BGS order was usually 10-20 cards and I was happy if I got 3 or 4 Gems. Now you have these guys who can send in 20, 30, 40 cards and 9 out of 10 come back Gem.
There's literally no way I can afford to pick these up anymore because these guys who are trimming their cards are paying top dollar because they are guaranteed to get 9.5 or 10s on the cards as long as they don't mess up the card so bad that it's ungradeable. |

I think they use some sort of paper cutter? You know those giant things you may have seen in school, where you put a piece of paper, and the huge sword looking thing comes down on the paper and BAM!!! hahaha Why does everything 90's inserts have to have something shady surrounding it? I wonder why........... Well cause of the scum of this hobby of course! SMH |
09-14-2012, 10:09 PM | #8 (permalink) |
I also wonder how they do it. I don't think they could possibly use one of those huge paper cutters.
I've used my fair share of exactos and that's got to be it. Nice and slow I'll try on base card tomorrow and let you know haha Last edited by murrke03; 09-14-2012 at 10:11 PM. |

There is a website that shows how to detect trims of vintage cards. I don't know how you could detect a minor trim of a modern card. The cutting technology today is so different. If you only shaved micros off the edge it wouldnt' be detected by calipers. Cards must have some deviation from the norm because not all cards are cut the same. I would suspect that quite a few cards are trimmed by those who have gotten good at it.

It has definitely been trimmed along he bottom edge. If you lay both photos side-by-side (old versus new), you can clearly see that the star is closer to the bottom edge in the graded scan. You can also focus in on one of the diagonal lines along the bottom edge of the card and see that they are not the same length when compared side-by-side. Somebody is getting a bad deal there and it also emphasizes the point that just because it has been graded, it is not without human error on the grader's part.

holy moly, GREAT catch there... another obvious tell is looking at the graded card on the back, not only are the white corners gone like you mentioned, but on the right side underneath the hologram, the edge slopes up slightly as it reaches the corner. you can probably see it better on the closeup. it slopes up on the left side too, but the right is more detectable.
does anyone know how beckett would explain this if presented with this overwhelming evidence? could they retroactively mark the card in their pop report as trimmed, so if someone looked up the serial, they could see the truth? obviously, they could recall the card, though lord you wish they somehow could! |

Check out this awesome custom Firefly Serenity Lego set, including minifigs of your favorite browncoats.
Check out this awesome custom Firefly Serenity Lego set, including minifigs of your favorite browncoats.
It's true. Han Solo was in Firefly. He was frozen in carbonite. The website Geek With Curves discovered that throughout the series you can spot a Han Solo in Carbonite. Nathan Fillion is a huge Star Wars fan, and the props team would add it whenever possible.
(via Geek With Curves)
Last week Nathan Fillion tweeted this photo of a small Firefly reunion. Nathan, Joss, Alan, and Adam all got together. I have already read lots of people writing that this is hope of a possible Firefly / Serenity project. My thoughts? They are friends and just got together. Although I hope I'm wrong!
Film and television often make up fictional drinks to help place a story into the future or another world. These drinks can sometimes be over the top by color or how they are created. The description of the drink can only give you an idea of what they taste like. Since none of these drinks exist we have to just imagine what they taste like. That is why this week I am listing the Essential Seven Fictional Drinks I Want to Try:
…continue reading Essential Seven Fictional Drinks I Want to Try
One of the greatest television shows of all time is Joss Whedon's Firefly. When the show was on TV it couldn't find a large enough audience. Fox then cancelled the show. The series DVD brought in new fans who never watched the show when it was on. I'm one of those "new fans." My first Firefly experience was watching Serenity in theaters on recommendation from a friend. I instantly bought the Firefly DVD and watched every episode. With a viewing of the series again, I decided to choose the Essential Seven Firefly Moments:
In response to the Restore Stephen Baldwin video, somebody put together a Restore Joss Whedon video. The video isn't asking you to support Joss Whedon financially. Why? Because Joss Whedon doesn't suck
Buy the complete series of Firefly
I just picked this up myself. Can't pass it up at that price.
We all know that Nathan Fillion is awesome, but his appearance on Jimmy Kimmel last week just solidified it.

Organized in 1869, Illinois made many low, medium and high grade watches before being sold to the Hamilton Watch Company in 1927. They are especially known for the large number of railroad grade and railroad approved watches they produced, including the Bunn Special, the Sangamo Special and the Santa Fe Special. Illinois also used more names on their watches than any other company, including names of companies which simply sold the watches, such as "Burlington Watch Co." and "Washington Watch Co."-- from The New Collector's Guide to Pocket Watches, © 2000 Barry S.

IMHO from what i read/seen it looks like if some evil twisted person Morphed Runescape with WoW...**Cringe**
release your inner child... or have a mental breakdown in your 30's/40's... Come on guys its not like we all dont sit down every now and then and read a old childrens story or watch a disney movie. Seperating yourself from the younger age leads to guess what? Old age!(bitterness) If your son or younger brother asked you to play would you tell em "That game sucks, here play a man's game, WoW." Just seems a bit hypcritical for the ones downing it without trying it first.On the charging for content as you play: seems like better than throwing down 30-50$ per game +30-50$ per expansion + 15$ monthly fee only to relise 10days later you dont want to play WoW anymore....It is like that so parents wont have to spend so much $ up front in case the kids dont like it.
"Premium content and membership available for purchase" Set sail for fail... I like the squirrel tough.
Looks like flyff. Played that for a coumple months before starting to play WoW. There are no instances, no raids, items are not soulbound, no auctionhouse, no quests, and "kawaii" anime-like graphics.
Seems very fun and relaxed. It also seems to have classes (Jobs) that are based on professions such as the blacksmith. I think I might give this one a go.Lot's of chatter about the game and younger audience. Heh, well in my opinion, at least it wont be too difficult. :P And yeah, like gaming and have kids, this seems a good way to share the hobby.
I've been seeing ads for it around the site, and now I have to check it out. xD It looks interesting, I'll try it.
id rather play arua rose :/
Looks like an screenshot of Maraudon with some crappy look-i'm-cool-because-i-laugh fakerogue and hunter. Not my cup of tea. I thought you said it's 'NOT just trying to do the WoW thing in a different way'?I'm getting to old for this i'm affraid, I feel like you target for 10-15 year old..
But.....where's the murlocs?WHERE ARE THEY!*goes in a corner and cry*
I want a squirrel/fox with a blue mohawk.I would call it a mohawked Fwirrel.(not entirely random its just the only thing i actually liked the look of with this MMO)
yay now the little children on wow will play this instead of failing on frogger
I looked and saw a very fairy tail looking game... not my cup of tea but who knows it might get all these kids off of wow YAY.2qugv
Guys help me its crazy when i try create Account it will take me to page with any download and when i download it and instal it dont push me to next page.
I'm just curious do you have kind of some stake in this game? Maybe mention it on the "Randomness" board, but to link it on the home screen seems a bit much.
As a Former RuneScape player of 6 years, It got a lil old and felt more and more like a kids game since i am 19 now.Now I'm in with the "Big kids" but yet somehow the other younger kids find their way into the World of Warcraft.Now i dont have a problem with kids, but when you have one tring to act all cool and such because they are 10 or w/e, it get kinda annoying.At least this game could be a 2nd half of RuneScape for them, keeping the best for last when they are more mature about everything.... I mean 8 years old is a lil much for me to see them playing WoW.
I think you guys are being elitists.I've played WoW for over 4 years and I rarely enjoy a game intended for kids.I played Free Realms for 6 hours straight. It may look cartoony, but the game is fun not for its gore nor violence, but once for its gameplay, availability and options to expand. Give it a try, it's a revolutionary game, and don't listen to these morons.(and the lot of you claiming it'll hopefully get rid of the "kids", I really hope it gets rid of you. Talk about selfishness, you display the real immaturity.)

How About We Review
Instead of focusing on questions, How About We prods users to focus on activity by connecting them through shared visions of an ideal date. The premise is intriguing, but How About We is relatively new and beset by small bugs, glitches, and a structure that frustrates users. Signing up is free but useful features require a subscription.
How About We is a relative newcomer to the online dating scene that offers an unusual matching model. While some reviews seem partial to an approach that relies on the where, what, and when of an ideal date to determine compatibility, others balk at the absence of personality indicators/ and messaging baby steps. The underlying assumption is that users are tired of the usual (and tedious) profile-building and search processes associated with online dating and would prefer to just get up and go. The How About We review by The Dating Gurus' generally likes the idea and assigns the site a B rating, but expresses reservations about the casual indifference to suitability factors.
Some How About We reviews also grouse about conceptual flaws in the program and structural flaws in the platform. The site offers limited functionality for its free service -- create a profile, browse others' profiles, and scroll through the forums -- but everything else requires a paid subscription that starts at $7.99 a month for one year, and cost more on a monthly basis for shorter periods. And therein lies one source of user frustration. How About We reviews at the Google Play Store, for example, carp about being left in the dark after sending a message that doesn't generate a response: is the recipient just not interested or not a paying member? Additionally, some carp about not being able to post photos and others about not being able to follow through on a proposed date.
With a paid membership, users can search, respond to other people's date requests, as well as suggest their own date ideas. They can also send messages requesting additional information. When we tested How About We, we found few dating opportunities in less densely populated areas; the majority of users were clustered in and around major metropolitan areas. That said, site's associated community is fairly large; Alexa ranks it 2,812 in popularity in the United States and reports the average user spends 4:32 minutes on the site.
Much like Plenty of Fish, How About We hosts an active and vibrant community section where date ideas, heartbreak, and general relationship advice is readily available. How About We also has a free mobile app that earns three stars at the Google Play Store.
An interesting premise, but the price, lack of personality-based profiles, user base mostly confined to large cities, and software glitches argue against a rush to sign up. This site needs time to grow and evolve.

Protein-"How do you get enough Protein?"
In the past few posts, I started writing about dairy, from the viewpoint of when it started and from the viewpoint about how unhealthy it is. I said that most plant based nutritionists would say it should be the very first thing to be eliminated in our diet, yet it is often the last thing to go for people who start eliminating animal products one by one.
When I tell anyone that I'm a Vegan or on a plant based diet, I am always asked the number one question of all time (in this subject) : "Where do you get your protein from?" It's amazing that the average person thinks this is the most important nutrient in the world, and that if one is a Vegan or vegetarian, that they must surely be lacking in protein, and therefore open to a whole range of serious diseases. The truth is that humans eating the SAD diet (Standard American Diet) are getting far too much protein. The average plant based diet is approximately 70% complex carbs (the "good" carbs) , 15% fat, 15% protein. That's not very much protein...but sufficient for proper health. The reason people go around thinking we need so much is that we've been told we need a lot and have been sold a bill of false goods by the meat and dairy association over the years. Doctors are not taught nutrition in schools, and doctors, as well as the average person out there, also think we need more protein than we do, yet most will admit the consequences of getting too much of it. If they're aware of these consequences then why don't they recommend a low protein diet? The consequences of too much protein (animal protein) can include osteoporosis, kidney failure, kidney stones, heart disease, stroke, and certain cancers (breast, prostate, colon to name a few).
There is a myth that plant proteins are incomplete. That's what it is really, just a myth. I'll go into that soon enough. Studies have shown that animal proteins can increase the risk of cancer while plant proteins do NOT.
So when asked about where do I get enough protein, the answer is we get all we need from plants! Grains, vegetables, beans, legumes, greens, seeds and nuts supply all the protein we need. I've heard many a plant based nutritionist say we should be more concerned about how to get LESS protein than more. Even many Vegans worry about it too much, or eat too much plant protein...as found in tofu, seitan, or tempeh. We don't need any of these high density protein foods really...they are all processed, not found in nature in a pure and edible form, and not necessary to have in our diet. People think we eat tons of tofu, as they always follow up their question about where do we get our protein from, with the statement "do you eat a lot of tofu?" I usually say no, or almost none and that it's not necessary either.
The high protein diet fads that seem to always come and go (Atkins being the most obvious) can cause serious overloading of the kidneys leading to kidney failure in the short term, and atherosclerosis and other heart issues in the long term. Colon cancer is now recognized as being directly related to a high animal protein diet. The simple explanation being that animal protein has no fiber (ZERO) and therefor does not move very swiftly through our bodies. The rotting flesh takes forever to break down and sits in our colon eventually and leads to colon cancer (simple explanation, but close enough) I once heard a well known nutritionist, George Eisman, state that the correlation between animal protein to colon cancer, is as positive and closely tied as the correlation of smoking to lung cancer. The odds and effects are almost similar.
Another well known plant based doctor told his audience to try to leave the word "protein" out of our vocabulary. Forget about thinking about it and forget about worrying about it. If you eat a well balanced, nutritionally adequate plant based diet , you will be getting all the protein you need. Dr. McDougall has said that it is impossible to NOT get enough protein if one eats a well balanced nutritionally adequate plant based diet!

Hi Andy,
How does protein from fish relate to your comments? Do you consider this superior to meat?
I'd appreciate any insights on this.
Carla What happened to "bio-individuality"? One persons cure is another persons poison. The meat and dairy industry (as much as I despise both entities) did not supply humans with canines, our evolution did. Some people need animal protein, some don't. Disease comes from many places, including plants. Your blog seems more rant than unbiased truth.

CND Creative Nail Design Solar Manicure Reviews
I love this product. I came upon it by pure accident and I am extremely impressed by it. As a mom of two little boys, my hands are always in the water. SO my hands are super dry with my cuticles feeling really parched. This product gives my hands that very much needed softness and moisture. I recommend this product to all of you, especially you moms! — 8 years, 9 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

I like to help. It's what I do.. I believe good design should be accessible to the everyman. Michelle & Andre should have a beautiful album of their wedding photographs; Rose should be able to compile her family recipes and history for her grandchildren; and Patrick is entitled to a unique gift for his friend who served in the air force (unable to link due to privacy). So I invite you to feed me your requirements, and let me travel through your life! Everyone's got a book in them. What's yours?

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
It seemed like this day would never come, but at long last, Blizzard is finally being firm with a release date for Diablo 3. The long awaited sequel hits stores and the internet May 15th, after months of beta that had a many speculating it should have been out sooner.
But this is Blizzard, and they work at their own pace. If they waited this long, you can be sure the final product will be polished (though I'm sure a million balance patches will follow in any case).
The announcement comes from the official Blizzard site, which extols the virtues of a digital pre-sale:
Beginning May 15, players around the world will be able to return to Tristram to discover the dark secrets of a fallen star and begin their quest to save Sanctuary from the impending demonic invasion. To secure your place as a barbarian, monk, demon hunter, witch doctor, or wizard right now, simply log in to your Battle.net account, and then purchase and download* Diablo III, and you'll be ready to play when the game launches.
"Digital pre-sale" might seem like a nonsense term, but as they say, you can download the game now and it will be "unlocked" when the actual game launches. I'm sure there are scores of intrepid pirates that are going to try and figure out a way to play before that time.
At release, Diablo 2 was the fastest selling PC game in history. Will Diablo 3 break such records this time around? It's a game many have been looking forward to for a decade, and no one should be surprised if this title is a smash hit for Blizzard.
Other than being "too colorful," the development and reception of Diablo 3 has been relatively drama-free in the gaming community. We'll see if that's still the case come launch in a few months. I wonder how many SWTOR subscriptions this will cancel?

If there is anything to be learned in this life, it's that there's no such thing as a free lunch. This is true even if you're a bum and some rich guy comes up one day and buys you lunch, because he'll probably expect to hear some of your bum tales and then he'll go back to the office and tell everyone about how he charmed a "quaint little bum," and before you know it, the rich guy has stolen your bum tales and is passing them off as his own. Then someone overhears that guy and passes the tales off as their own, and so on, until one day your best homeless friend is telling you an all-too-familiar story. Well no way, Chester, it was me who once chased Eddie Murphy down an alley, not you.
Nowhere on the Internet does this free lunch logic hold more true than at Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia anyone can edit. Sure, it's monetarily free, but it costs you heaps in credibility and accuracy, as well as the time spent combing over information for instances of "jason is a faggit" and other assorted such delights hidden mid-paragraph here and there. Not to mention the incredible amount of useless information that nobody would ever need, as well as the self-important administrative body that comes complete with the wildest God complex this side of Waco.
But wait, if it sounds like I'm hating on Wikipedia, I don't mean to come off that way. I love Wikipedia. It's by far the most entertaining open-source project to ever exist, and yes, I am counting LInux and all of the LInux User Group online photo albums it is responsible for. You see, there are games you can play with Wikipedia. Fun games that you can pass hours upon hours with. I'm not talking about hiding a clue to the supposed sexuality of your high school nemesis in the article about Lieutenant Worf. A nondestructive Wikipedia game was invented last year by my good pals Dr. David Thorpe and Street Cactus, and I have to say that it blows that pedestrian-ass googlewhacking right out of the water.
"Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge. That's what we're doing." -Jimmy Wales, Wikipedia founder |
The premise is quite simple. First, find a useful Wikipedia article that normal people might read. For example, the article called "Knight." Then, find a somehow similar article that is longer, but at the same time, useless to a very large fraction of the population. In this case, we'll go with "Jedi Knight." Open both of the links and compare the lengths of the two articles. Compare not only that, but how well concepts are explored, and the greater professionalism with which the longer article was likely created. Are you looking yet? Get a good, long look. Yeah. Yeeaaah, we know, but that is just the tip of the iceberg. (We're calling it Wikigroaning for a reason.) The next step is to find your own article pair and share it with your friends, who will usually look for their own pairs and you end up spending a good hour or two in a groaning arms race. The game ends after that, usually without any clear winners... but hey, it beats doing work.
We go Wikigroaning on the SA forums from time to time and feel confident enough to share the fruits of our latest outing with the public. We're pretty proud of some of these. Enjoy!
The most beautiful woman on all of Facebook is no longer just enchanting your Facebook feed. She's here, y'all!

A summary of South Carolina laws relating to weapons and conduct that impact workplace violence.
In South Carolina it is unlawful for anyone to carry a pistol on the person, whether concealed or not, except:
A permit does not authorize the permit holder to carry a concealable weapon into:
Valid out-of-state permits to carry concealable weapons held by a resident of a reciprocal state must be honored by South Carolina.
The law allowing individuals to obtain and use permits to carry concealable weapons does not limit the right of a public or private employer to prohibit a person who is licensed from carrying a concealable weapon on the premises of its business or workplace or while using any machinery, vehicle or equipment owned or operated by the business; or the right of a private property owner or person in legal possession or control to allow or prohibit the carrying of a concealable weapon on the premises.
The posting by an employer, owner or person in legal possession or control of a sign stating "No Concealable Weapons Allowed" constitutes notice to a person holding a permit that the employer, owner or person in legal possession or control requests that concealable weapons not be brought on the premises or into the workplace. The requirement for the posting of signs prohibiting the carrying of a concealable weapon on any premises may be satisfied by a sign expressing the prohibition in written language interdict or universal sign language.
A person holding a permit to carry a concealable weapon may not carry a concealable weapon into the residence or dwelling place of another person without the express permission of the owner or person in legal control or possession.
Any person may carry a concealable weapon from an automobile or other motorized conveyance to a room or other accommodation the person has rented and for which an accommodation tax has been paid.
Under the Protection of Persons and Property Act, a person who is not engaged in unlawful activity and who is attacked in a place where he or she has a right to be, including, but not limited to, his or her place of business, has no duty to retreat and has the right to stand his or her ground and meet force with force, including deadly force, if he or she reasonably believes it is necessary to prevent death or great bodily injury to himself or herself or another person or to prevent the commission of a violent crime.

The American Left, and Other Links
Crazy: David Friedman comments on Chavez, Castro, Assad and the American left.
Trackback URL | Comments RSS Feed
Some privacy policies are made too long probably because they don't want you to read them. They figure to annoy people enough with the length that people just won't bother to read them.
The leeft really is crazy.
The American (and British) Left thought Soviet Russia was Socialist Utopia, to the extent they probably were complicit in helping bring about the (nearly) five-decade long Cold War. Their modern-day equivalents view Chavez and Castro in a similar light. Assad probably doesn't have their unwavering respect, but (to my knowledge) he's never been a poster child for socialism.
When I took the two classes Theory of Political Economy I&II as a required course for my doctoral program, my professor explain that all despots gain and hold on to power using rhetoric about equality and protecting the masses. The same is true of the left-leaning political elite in the United States. They still claim equality and social justice is their goal. But I wonder if these stated goals aren't just an excuse to gain power –which may be the real goal.
I don't see Chavez or Castro being viewed in a sympathetic light by the American left. Where are you getting this idea from? The ignorant conceptions about the left on this site are pretty astounding.

hey there. sorry things have been so quiet around here the past week or so. i am finishing up a new batch of tough ruffles shoulder bags, and those will be available in the shop on wednesday (will announce the shop update and time later today once i am able to put everything together).
in other news, madebyhank finally joined twitter. i was fortunate enough to be selling next to lisa from tree and kimball at the vagabond sale on saturday, and she finally sold me on it. it was so nice to sit down with a fellow maker and seller and swap stories. working from home and running a small business means i do not get out into the world very often, so it was almost like having a co-worker for a day. so, let the social networking begin! follow madebyhank on twitter here.

I was thrilled last month to hear that two new breweries from San Marcos, California would be distributing their beers out here to Colorado. The first was The Lost Abbey and the second was Port Brewing Company. These two breweries are joined at the hip you might say as they are managed by the same group of people. Today's review is the first brew from Port Brewing Company that I've had the pleasure of sampling and given the season, I went for a dark brew - Old Viscosity Ale.
Old Viscosity Ale is classified as both a Strong American Ale as it weighs in at 10.5% ABV and as a Stout. Old Viscosity's name is reminiscent of motor oil and it pours looking exactly the same as it. O.V. is made with 2-row, wheat, domestic and English crystal, Carafa III and chocolate malts. It's bittered with German Magnum hops. Once brewed, about 20% of it is aged in bourbon barrels and then blended back in with a new batch of the same ale.
Appearance: This beer is super dark with just a hint of mahogany on the edges if held to the light. It has a decent brown head which is darker than most foams I've seen. The beer seemed to be adequately carbonated based on the hiss while opening and the bubbles in the glass.
Aroma: The initial aroma I got after pouring was huge on the chocolate, caramel and coffee side. Rich roasted malts dominate this brew and gives a slight hint of bourbon.
Taste: Oh, the taste! It was velvety smooth. The malts were blended well with the right amount of bitterness. There was also a nice sweetness to this beer. The chocolate and cocoa really come out. This was easily drinkable right from the start. It doesn't take long to notice the alcohol warmth. Oh ya.
Some beers like this big you are better off aging for at least 6 months, however, I found that Old Viscosity needs no aging at all. It's real good now. On a recent beer podcast earlier this year, Old Viscosity was compared side by side with Victory Storm King Imperial Stout and the majority of the tasters preferred Old Viscosity. I have recently reviewed Victory Storm King and loved it, but now that I've had Port Brewing's ale I must say I liked this one better as well.
The full 22oz bomber bottle was plenty for me for one evening. It's a big beer that warrants respect, so please don't drive after having the whole bottle. Supposedly, Port Brewing has an imperial version of this (as if this wasn't already an imperial) called Older Viscosity. That one probably packs an even bigger punch to it.
Food pairing suggestion: I paired this beer with ice cream. In fact I took cookies -n- cream ice cream and made a beer float out of it. The dark beer poured on top of a cup of ice cream may not look appetizing but believe me it was one of the best tasting combos you can imagine. Most dark beers like stouts and porters will mix well with light, non-fruit ice cream. Give it a try!
I'm giving Old Viscosity a huge Thumbs Up! This is one of the tastier stout / Strong Ales I've had. Good thing this brew is made year round. I'd hate to have to wait until next season to be able to stock up on this.

Well, then I won't bother cutting holes for the port and all that :-)
What about my thought of dividing both of the two cabinets on the drawing into two each, dividing them between the magnets that unfortunately won't come any closer to each other than about 15 cm. Dividing the boxes should increase the width:depth ratio which is preferably - if I get it all right? |

Okay, I think I get what you're talking about. Is it possible that you can drop a link to such a brace - just to be sure?
Thanks a lot for the help by the way, it's really apreciated :-) |

The 42 liter push-pus box is pretty much what your will look like only smaller. The brace will need to have cut-outs so as to not act as a baffle, only a brace. A lip may not be necessary as the magnet can't be that heavy on a 6 x 9 and will be supported from the contact with the brace. This will also tighten up the whole box as the baffle will not have to span as far. |

Col, I don't think I'll be able to get my hands on any 400µF capacitators, but I should be able to get some 470µF. Based on my calculations with 4 ohm speakers - that will cut somewhere about 80-85 Hz.
What voltage does these caps need to be as a minimum? I'm running the amp on 12V. I have a few electrolyt capacitators at home already that is 470µF, but just 6.3V. I'm quite certain that these aren't big enough, but what values would I need to be sure I'll work out best? Would it be something like these: http://www.el-supply.dk/?Gid=30&VNr=211F3471 ...they are 470µF 35V? I won't be able to get those before next week and I'm going to do the building and construction the next few days, so will I be able to maybe just test at a low volume with the capacitors I mentioned above - 470µF 6.3V? |

Note that the cap needs to be non-polar.
As well due to the resonant peak in the impedance, the calculation of cut-off is no-where near text book. dave

Hmm, for me it doesn't seem possible to find bipolar 470µF caps anywhere?
I don't want to cut off all the bass - just whats nessesary in order not to get the distortion. I think I'll just mount the speakers without any caps, and see how it goes. Then maybe I can use a tone-generator to find out what frequency to cut at. |

I've used 1000u caps back-to-back before. But as Dave says, it's a bit naff.

I got my caps from here:
http://jaycar.com.au/productView.asp...T&SUBCATID=877 I guess you could mail-order, partsexpress.com would have them too, probably cheaper. Also, a PLLXO crossover might be more appropriate. You can adjust the input on the amp6 with resistors so adding a PLLXO might be a good option. http://www.t-linespeakers.org/tech/f...ssiveHLxo.html I think Dave knows better about this option though? col.

TFD: Wes Welker signs with Broncos, tries to follow in footsteps of ex-Viking Jermaine Wiggins

That said, this obscure fact came up in the midst of all of it. Only three players in NFL history, per this tweet, have caught passes from both Brady and Peyton Manning: Dan Klecko, Torrance Small ... and Jermaine Wiggins.
Welker will presumably the fourth, and the most famous, unless you consider he has never been a subject of Stu's Hunt Down while Wiggins has.

Mohali: Australia's tour of India went from bad to worse today after four players, including vice-captain Shane Watson, were shockingly axed from the team for breach of discipline.
Watson, pacers James Pattinson and Mitchell Johnson and young batsman Usman Khwaja have been dropped for the third Test after failing to make presentations in a team meeting as instructed by the management.
"This is a line in the sand," coach Mickey Arthur said while making the announcement here. The Aussies will now have just 13 players to choose from with star pacer Pattinson missing from the equation despite the pace-friendly conditions.

Ocean View drops thrilling semi at St. John Bosco
BELLFLOWER — Less talent. Undersized. Overmatched.
Not many people gave the Ocean View boys basketball an outside chance at beating top-seeded St. John Bosco of Bellflower on Friday night.
But if there's one thing to take away from the Seahawks' agonizing 89-87 loss in the CIF-SS Division 3A semifinal game at St. John Bosco High, it wasn't for a lack of effort or heart.
OCVarsity Hot Shots: Friday's basketball games
St. John Bosco left the door open late for Ocean View sophomore star Kendall Small, but he missed on two free throws with 10 seconds remaining and the Seahawks trailing, 88-87.
Ocean View coach Tim Walsh said there is no other player that he would have rather had at the line in that situation.
"We wouldn't be here without Kendall Small," he said. "That's the guy I want making plays for us; I'd give him the ball a million times."
The last-ditch effort for Ocean View, a back-door lob on an out-of-bounds play intended for Dillon Reise, fell to the floor as Bosco and its fans celebrated on center court.
Walsh said that he was "unhappy" with the loss, but it wasn't because a lack of effort.
"We kept battling, and showed incredible heart," he said. "That's a good basketball team, but we never stopped believing."
The key for Ocean View to stay in game against a team that features a senior, Issac Hamilton, who was named a McDonald's All-American, his four-star brother, Daniel, and a five-star sophomore, Tyler Dorsey, was to hit shots and limit offensive rebounds.
Ocean View did just that, connecting on 19 3-pointers, including seven from Reise who finished with a team-high 24 points.
"We had to hit shots," Walsh said. "They have a lot of big guys down low, and we did a good job of keeping them off the glass."
Isaac Hamilton showed why he is one of the top players in the country as he finished with a game-high 43 points while grabbing eight rebounds.
With the score tied at 50 early in the third quarter, Bosco went on a 13-0 run in what looked to be a spurt that Ocean View would succumb to. But the Seahawks roared back as Tyler Burch hit one of his five 3-pointers to stop the bleeding.
Small, who finished with 12 points, ended the third with a running 3-pointer from just inside half court as time expired, cutting the Ocean View deficit to nine heading into the fourth.
Ocean View trailed by as many as seven with under four minutes to play, but were unable prevail down the stretch despite its resiliency.
Burch finished with 21 points and Jelani Jackson had 20 for the Seahawks.

I am looking to buy a Xoom and have found a good deal on craigslist. What are your thoughts/tips on buying a xoom in general from craigslist? If I do end up buying one from craigslist, what should I have the person do to show that it is in working condition? Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
Look it over make sure there are no dings or dents on it, if it had a hard case on it make sure there are no dents or dings on it either. If so it is possible it has been dropped, check the smoothness of the system, make sure all of the system apps work, make sure the camera and speakers look and sound good. Look over the screen and besides that if all that is good then you should be alright.
Thanks! Thanks for the advice. I'll see if the person will let me play with it for a couple minutes before I pay.

I just read it and I kinda like it. I don't know it could've been a little bit better. I thought he would have been the original He-man. And he would have been the like original Cosmic being handing down the Cosmic vest to the enforcers or something similar to that effect.

I was kinda hoping they tied him into the cosmic enforcers a little more. But it's ok I suppose. But having an early "He-man" become a cosmic enforcer and fight alongside zodak and zodac just seemed cool to me.
I think it's fine.

I'm ok with it. Nothing far fetched or totally unheard of *cough* demo-man *cough*. It seems pretty safe. I appreciate the nod to the original mini comic.

They left part of the bio out...
Before embarking on his mission, Wun-Dar said to the Goddess "You know, I'm kinda hungry...I could really go for some bread, could you uh, whip something up for me? And no Pumpernickel...I hate that stuff!"
The Goddess replied...."Ummmm....sure. Here ya go. Magic bread."
I like it. It was pretty much along the lines of what I was expecting.

Iam going to ignore almost all bios.
I wish that wundar were came with funny Story, and not with a more serois one.
I for one like it; it fits in to the mythos well (though maybe it should have been a bit longer than 100 years before the birth of Adam). Personally I don't think a Cosmic Enforcer connection was needed (other than maybe to explain the same design armor and pistol as Zodac).
I like how there are heavy "early mini-comic He-Man" paralles and influences, but can still be explained away as a sepeate character if necessary.

They should have at least incorporated bread into his bio.

The secrets of the loaf could be revealed in a future bio. Maybe the bread is a good cover for something special inside.

This is one of the best bios. I like it very much!
I love the bio, but am curious that it doesn't mention the black powersword at all. Maybe there'll be something about it on the map?
LOL. I don't like it, but I don't mind it.
It read to me like this:
A century before the important He-Man, there was this other guy. He lived undergound where this woman showed up. Even though no threat to her could probably be defeated by him, he saved her anyway. So she gave him a job. Her job. And he did it. He did it savagely. And he kept people from finding this thing that was hidden in a place that no one remembers.
What would have been neat was if he protected the key from Scareglow during this intervening time.
MOTUClassics.Com - Reviews, Release Schedule, Bios, & News.
FIRST, he's a month early, which, in my mind means HUUUUUUUUUUGELY good sign for MOTUC... it also means that we will get a different bonus figure the next month... why move him to Feb only to leave March empty with just a regular figure??? I wonder who it will be... Stinkor? It would make sense, and he's the perfect companion to Moss Man.
Now, Regarding Wun-Dar's bio
I like it, but it's too simple. I am surprised "Wun-Dar" is his real name...
And, like so many other bios, it doesn't answer any questions. ALL I get out of it is that the first few mini-comics are the "legends" they keep speaking about, but that perhaps Wun-Dar, The Goddess, and Scareglow were He-man, The Green "Sorceress," and Skleletor respectively.
The weapons and armor should have been explained more - I mean they are really cool. I also feel badly because I wonder now how Vikor and Demo-Man will be handled.
I know they are planning them -- they gave that away in the SDCC Art book.
I can't wait for the Secrets of the Elders poster... it better answer all of my questions!!!! LOL
He looks really cool though... I will definitely open him, but I am going to have to figure out a really careful way, because I want to keep his packaging.
A Want List of Sorts: at this point... I just hope there is a 2017...

Cool bio. But I was hoping he was a baker.
Wun-Dar: Heroic Master Of Bakery and his mighty Power Bread!
I do agree, but not all bios would lend themselves so easily.
I think it's the end that pulls me out. Saying he does things savagely is bad enough, but that he has to keep something safe that's hidden in a place no one remembers - his job is to... keep his mouth shut. Savagely, of course.

Doc here,
First..If the car starts , runs and performs reasonably well..there is NOTHING wrong with the HEI... IF you are experiencing advance problems, configure the car for the following test parameters: (assuming a 350 SBC)
Aftermarket Solutions Electronic & Electrical Innovations |
When I reconnect the vacuum line to the carb nothing happens. No increase in idle and no movement of timing on tab. The vacuum advance seems to hold suction. Carb. has vacuum, but nothing seems to change.
Doc here,
Get out your Vacuum gauge/hand Vacuum pump.. Remove the cap, place the pump hose on the advance, and pump it down...The whole advance plate should start to move at about 5 In Hg..and be fully extended about 10 In Hg..If no movement but holds vacuum, check to see the advance plate isn't stuck or binding..Free it anywhere it does.. If it won't move OR hold vacuum..The Diaphragm is blown..replace the vacuum advance unit. If you don't have a gauge/pump.. Go to ANY manifold source of vacuum..hook the advance there..while idling..It should speed up if it's working..If it does not replace the advance unit. Doc

HEI Module & Advance - Another Question - timing??
Well I just came back to this forum and even updated my info. I'm having an issue with my 1971 Chevy PU with a Crate engine #12496968. This has the GM 1104067 HEI Dist. I found this "Old" Thread which seems to answer the question - sorta. I just wanted to run my "scenario" by to see if I could get some more in put on it.
The engine has been in the PU for probably 4 years but probably has only 3000 miles on it - if that much. It ran fine - until it didn't! I've checked timing several times and it always set OK and stayed set and showed by the timing light that it was advancing. I had the vacuum advance line on constant vacuum port from the beginning until I reread the instructions for the engine and it advised plunging into the ported source - I changed it and checked that it was still advancing. I started to get a pop now and then that I attributed to Carburation - until I put the light on it again and several things happened. First I had set it back to about 8 Deg BTDC. Tightened it down good and checked it stayed @ 8. Ran it awhile - checked and it had advanced to about 12-14 BTDC. Then I set it back to 8 BTDC and checked to see if it was advancing and it was not - it is retarding - every time I increase RPM by about 4-6 degrees. I checked several times with the vac line on and off - but it is retarding now!!! Any Ideas?? Is this the Vacuum advance or the module?????????? I started chasing this because I had rejeted my Edlebrock carb for 7000 feet and then moved to 5000 ft but it just would not run right so I went back to stock then richer from there. Seemed to be working except when the weather got hot and then it seemed to run bad and seemed to pop now and again. Then it got hard to start after running around town - like the starter was dragging ( it is a new starter and does not drag when cool)) or it was just hot and too advanced??????? Any thoughts - I appreciate any help and sort of need this truck now as a daily driver. Thanks - LBM |
Why does HEI retard with blown Vac Advance
So I have figured out the Vac Advance has blown - won't hold vacuum. And I have done a lot of searching on just what the HEI Ign module does - sort of. What I don't get is why the timing is retarding now with no Vac advance.
When I rev the engine instead of the timing light showing advance of any amount it shows it retarding. I can turn the Dist and the mark will advance or retard and when I set it at 6 to 8 deg it is definitely out of the sweet spot so it likes more advance and then it retards when I speed up RPMs?? Would sure appreciate some help here. LBM |

3 months after original review
I wish there was an option for "I don't really use it anymore." The Cupid's Kiss and I have ended our love affair simply due to the fact that I now have purchased the Uma, Gigi, Ella, and the Mimi. Cupid's Kiss is still a fabulous toy for the price, but when you've got luxury toys, well, you have luxury toys.

Vodaphone Wants To Encourage Healthier Mobile Device Use [Video]
The telecommunications company explores healthier mobile device use through a series of animated videos
Vodaphone has begun a campaign in collaboration with Spain's Department of Health exploring the healthy use of mobile devices. The campaign is made up of three animated videos that consider posture, spending too much time on the computer and screen glare, among other things. The colorful videos portray people using their mobile devices improperly through a tablet device while a roving hand manipulates the characters into healthier positions.

In early 2013, Council conducted a Local Area Traffic Management Study (LATMS) in the Richmond precinct in the area bounded by Bridge Road, Church Street, Swan Street and Punt Road.
The study area is known as LATMS 17.
The study aimed to address traffic issues in local streets, including traffic speed and volume, through-traffic, safety at intersections and pedestrian safety.
At its meeting on 22 October (agenda item 11.1) Council adopted a Traffic Management Plan for the area that addresses traffic issues raised by residents.
The plan was developed in consultation with the community via surveys and a public meeting. A Traffic Study Group comprising community representatives, ward councillors, Council officers and consultants from Traffix Group (an external consultancy Council engaged to assist with the process) was also established to help develop the plan.
The Traffic Management Plan appears in the document below: LATMS 17 Traffic Management Plan (428.23 KB)
Implementation of the traffic plan is expected to cost $393,000 over two years.
Further traffic surveys will be undertaken in Dickman Street to establish which traffic treatments are needed.
