|Koessler Athletic Center
The focal point of all campus sports activity is the Koessler Athletic Center. Built in 1968 at a cost of $3 million, the KAC houses both the Physical Education and Athletic Departments and is the site of intercollegiate, intramural, recreation and local high school sporting events. The facility also hosts numerous concerts, comedy shows and the College's graduate school graduation ceremonies.
The KAC consists of a multi-purpose gymnasium, swimming pool, the Center for Athletic Training, the school's varsity weight room, a fitness center, coaches' offices and classrooms. The gymnasium underwent a face lift that was completed in 2002. The ceiling was removed, and the walls were refinished and painted. The bleachers were replaced with 1,100 chair back seats and new bleachers, bringing the capacity to 2,196. The floor was refinished and repainted, and a new sound system was installed. In addition, the lighting was upgraded and wiring was added to allow for televised games. The final touch was the addition of new scoreboards, one of which lists individual players' points and fouls. The $1.3 million renovations were made with the help of a $1 million gift from Chester and Diane Stranczek. Over the past 10 years, the KAC has added offices for its staff on the ground level, new equipment in an expanded weight room, new offices for the Athletic Department, a new ticket office and the state-of-the-art Center for Athletic Training.

The Rev. James M. Demske, S.J. Sports Complex, built in 1989 at a cost of $4.5 million, provides a home field for Canisius College athletics. It has been hailed by the New York Times, USA Today, and The NCAA News as a model for urban campuses.
The facility is unique for its space utilization in a compact urban setting and has set the standard for design for other schools with limited land. Built on a 14-acre parcel of land located behind the Koessler Athletic Center, the multi-use, all-purpose, all-weather A-Turf surface serves as home to the Golden Griffin soccer, lacrosse, baseball and softball teams. The field, which is fully lighted for evening activities, features grandstand seating for 1,000 and portable bleachers for 200. In addition to the field, locker rooms for Canisius student-athletes and visiting opponents sits adjacent to the Koessler Athletic Center.
The Demske Sports Complex underwent a major face lift during the summer of 2008 when Canisius replaced the old AstroTurf 12 playing surface with 123,000 square feet of A-Turf. A-Turf is a multi-purpose, all-weather synthetic playing surface that is virtually unaffected by adverse weather conditions. Using natural grass as its model, A-Turf's synthetic turf consists of a denser construction of polyethylene fibers and a high-level of specialized rubber and sand mix to increase playability and lower the G-Max rating. The lower the G-Max rating, the greater the shock absorption and less impact to the athlete. In addition to the work on the playing fields, Canisius also installed brand new scoreboards and new baseball dugouts along the first and third base sides.
The Demske Sports Complex hosted the 2004, 2009, 2011 and 2013 MAAC Men's Lacrosse League Championships, the 2012 and 2014 MAAC Women's Lacrosse Championships -- both won by the Griffs -- and also served as the site of the 2010 MAAC Softball Championships.
During the summer of 2013, Canisius College announced a partnership with the Buffalo Sabres to play its home games at HARBORCENTER, a new $172 million facility built in downtown Buffalo.
Canisius began a new era of Golden Griffin hockey with the opening of HARBORCENTER on Oct. 31, 2014. Featured inside the $172 million facility is two NHL-size rinks, including an 1,800-seat arena where Canisius serves as the primary tenant. The facility also houses the team's state-of the art locker room, separate athletic training areas, a players lounge and the IMPACT Sports Performance Center.
HARBORCENTER also serves as a practice facility for the Buffalo Sabres as well as a home rink for the Buffalo Jr. Sabres of the OJHL and Erie Community College.

|Frank Lloyd Wright's Fontana Boathouse
Since the Fall of 2011, the Canisius rowing program has called the Frank Lloyd Wright's Fontana Boathouse their home. The Boathouse was named in honor of Charles L. Fontana for his contributions to the rowing community of Western New York. Fontana served as the Canisius crew coach from 1964-79 and was inducted into the Canisius Sports Hall of Fame in 1985.
The Frank Lloyd Wright's Fontana Boathouse was originally designed by world-renown architect Frank Lloyd Wright in 1905, his only boathouse design. Waiting for the right destination for his design to call home, his vision came to fruition in a state-of-the-art 5,000 square foot space built in September 2007 after years of fundraising and negotations. The $6.1 million facility is located along the Black Rock Canal, adjacent to the international Peace Bridge between the U.S. and Canada.
|Koessler Athletic Center Pool
Original construction of the facility was completed in 1968. Renovations were completed on the pool in 2005 and new scoreboards, featuring timing breakdowns for each lane, were installed in the summer of 2006. During the fall of 2009, brand new lights were installed in the facility, providing a better experience for swimmers and fans.
|KeyBank Center
The KeyBank Center (formerly know as the First Niagara Center) is a multipurpose facility located on Buffalo's waterfront and serves as the secondary home for the Canisius College men's basketball program.
The arena is the home to the Buffalo Sabres (NHL), the Buffalo Bandits (NLL) and many forms of entertainment for people of all ages. The $127.5 million facility, located at the foot of Main Street and South Park Avenue, can seat 18,400 for basketball and 18,595 for hockey. Canisius co-hosted the NCAA Division I Men's Ice Hockey Frozen Four at the then HSBC Arena in 2003 and has served as the co-host for the first and second rounds of the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament in 2000, 2004, 2007, 2010 and 2014. The men's basketball team has played a total of 46 games in the downtown facility and set a new regular season attendance record Nov. 25, 2006, when 14,823 fans came out to see the Griffs play host to Syracuse. The building has also served as the host site to four MAAC Men and Women's Basketball Tournaments, with the last occasion coming in 2005, where the Canisius women's basketball team secured the school's first MAAC women's hoops title and the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Division I Women's Basketball Tournament.
|River Oaks Golf Club
River Oaks Golf Club in Grand Island, N.Y., is the home to the Canisius golf team. The 7,389-yard course plays at a par-72, with USGA course rating of 74.0 and a slope of 131.

I am a student-teacher at a Teachers' college I have been experiencing a problem of poor time management especially during my teaching practice where I would fail to stick to the time I allocated to my lesson activities during lesson planning. the problems is that sometimes leaners responds very differently to the planned activities which makes me fail to meet up to the set activity schedule in my lesson plans. please advice as to how I can address this problem as a Student-teacher.
Another observation that was made by my teaching practice assessors is that during session delivery I have had problems in my questioning skills that is, the questions used do not lead my learners to open up and share their experiences or learning difficulties. this has been a challenge to me as a student-teacher and I think I need professional help.
Finally I am teaching a group of students whom English is their second language and as a result have serious communication problems and this has affected their participation in classroom activities, like discussions, asking questions, or just organizing written materials. I In fact teach Automotive trades and needs help as to how I can help the poor learners to improve in their communications skills.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
i just want to thank all you guys that took your valuable time to help me out. i know im not a regular here and you dont know me from jack but you still took time to read my issues and offer advice. i thank you!
after a few trips to the salvage yard, i finally have a working work truck with a freshened up '95 350 and od transmission that actually shifts!! all my oem gages work, ac blowin and everything so i installed my old flowmaster and duals too!
i painted my engine during rebuild but since the trans came paint marker'd from a salvage yard with a 30 day warranty, unfortunately i could not paint it.
engine in my living room after painting for reassembly
here i have my engine driven air compressor mounted but i have not installed it in the truck yet.
here is the truck its goin in and thats the 4.3 ready to get snatched
pics of the install tomorow, im exhausted.
thank you again guys!
|one thing i noticed, the speedo is not working. after reading a 4l60 troubleshooting guide, it mentions the vss being a cause of no upshifts. im double checking wiring now.
from here, you need to find out if the shift solenoids are getting command to shift, you already have power going to the trans because if you didnt, it would have 3rd gear starts, and only have manual 2nd other than that.
from what your describing, a code scan is in order. if you have a decent scan tool with a live data stream, that could help you find what the computer is doing.
i will say it is rather odd to change all this stuff out including the pcm and still have the same symptom.
ok, i removed the 4.3l engine, 4l60e transmission, engine harness and ECM from the 94 gmc and installed a 5.7l from a running vehicle along with its harness and ECM. i found an exact replacement 4l60e in the salvage yard, they both even have goodwrench remanufactured stickers on them.
the truck is running smooth but this transmission does the exact same thing. only first and reverse, no shifting. i can put it in OD and take off, engine revs up to redline and im traveling about 15-20 mph? i let off the gas and it the rpms drop low but im still coasting fast, instead of slowing down relative to the rpms.
i can goose it while coasting and it will take off again but high rpms and no shift.
it does the same thing in 1,2,3 as it does in OD. low and reverse work seemingly fine.
any home diagnosis i can do, its apparently a common issue with these goodwrench trans...
Hi Rich, thanks for the warm welcome! First, I think "reliable transmission shop" is an oxymoron, but really the truck is here at my shop and I have no way to get it to a trans shop. I always like to do things myself anyways so a few days figuring something out is a lesson learned, be it good or bad.
Hi Crosley, thanks for making a new thread. Guess I could have been more specific, let me start over.
My neighbor has a 94 GMC 1500 with a 4.3l w 4l60e auto. The engine has a rod knocking and he said the trans was stuck in low. I test drove it around the shop and he was right, but so was the price. I put a deposit on the truck because I have a fresh 5.7 tbi and 4l60e auto from a 95 GMC Yukon that I thought would go right in. I ran out to the salvage yard and pulled a 5.7 auto engine/trans harness from a 94 and installed it on the 95 eng/trans and realized the 94 harness was missing the plugs that plug into the connectors on the shift mechanism on the 95 trans. Then I went and looked at the oem trans on the 94 truck and noticed it has a rod linkage instead of the cable like the 95. I then learned that the trans from the 95 has a pulse width lockup controlled by the computer and the 94 wire harness will not work with that trans.
So back to google I go, searching for how to repair the 94 trans or make the 95 trans work in the 94 truck, that brings me to here. I read here how to make the tbi trans(im assuming thats my 95 trans) work in a carb'd truck. Now I don't know what will be the best route to get this truck on the road, cost being a major determining factor.
I have rebuild guides on the 4l60e and though I have never rebuilt one, feel confident I could pull it off. I know a trans kit is about $150-$200 but will that fix the stuck in low trans or will it need additional parts?
I have extensive knowledge in 12v systems and have dissected many wire harnesses so I even considered swapping the 94 truck dash/ign/eng wiring to 95 so it will be plug and play. About the same $150-$200 in dash/wiring to convert the truck to 95. Plus I would need to change the through firewall ignition harness hole requiring cutting/welding.
Could I piggyback the ecm's somehow so that the 94 harness stays intact running the engine and the 95 ecm runs the trans?
I should have the keys this weekend, I can then find out for sure about the speedo and manual shifting. If anyone knows some tests I can perform myself to diagnose this, OR if anyone has info on how to make the 95 trans work, please let me know.
Thanks for your time.

Welcome to Hotrodders.com Glad to have you with us
You may have a broken 1-2 accumulator piston, or Electrical problems. Take it to a reliable transmission shop & have it diagnosed, it should cost about $40 sometimes free. They can tell you what's wrong in about an hour, where it may take you three days to diagnose the problem.
Have you scanned the vehicle?
What is the history on the vehicle?
Mileage, recent trans repair work or service?
If the speed-O ias not working the system does not knwo the vehicle is moving... since you say the speed-O works, there is another test
You can unplug the trans connector at the case or remove the trans fuse in the panel. This will put the trans into default - fail safe mode. The trans will then be in 3rd gear and would not want to move from a full stop without lots of throttle applied.
That will at least tell you the 3-4 clutch pack is good
In manual 2nd gear, the trans is not in 2nd gear?
i split off your thread - post and started this thread for you.
If you have a problem, post the question with some information in the thread title and these folks here will offer up some suggestions
sorry to revive a dead thread but does anyone have any more info on this issue.
i will be buying a 94 from my neighbor in the next couple weeks and it does not shift out of low. im pretty sure the spedo worked when i test drove it but the trans would not shift from low while in D, 1, 2, or 3 but reverse works fine.
i had a trans from a 95 ready to put in but found out its lockup is controlled by pulse width modulation making it incompatible.
any help gettin this 94 stuck in low back on the road would be greatly appreciated.
thanks guys!

10.5 with 250 waist ; help me judge
1 Attachment(s)
Trying to figure out how much overhang is too much for all-mountain riding. Just got my setup of Bataleon Enemy 157, Union SL L/XL, and Vans Andreas Wiig 10.5 and trying to put it together.
The picture is of the back foot at a slight forward angle, I've got 0.5in overhang to the tip boot toe, and 1.5in overhang to the back of the heelcup.
Will this work?
your good dude i mostly ride mountain and carve my toe and heel hang over a inch an half and i never get toe drag but you def want even toe and heel hang your heel is to far back
Equal overhang is not what you want. You want the ability to angle the board the same on toe and heel side. You'll notice the maximum overhang on the heel side is much higher than the toe overhang. As a result, you can frequently get away with more overhang on the heel. Watch this video. It will give you some insight.
How to determine the best board width for you. - YouTube
Hi guys,
Stoked to hear the good discussion on width, andgles overhang, etc. Here is some info from our fit tips that has been posted here before. I hope it helps:
How wide of a snowboard do I need? Where is the width of a snowboard measured? What does width mean in terms of my boot size?
Lets start by talking about measurements, because this is where a lot of the confusion arises. The most common width measurement that is provided by manufacturers is "waist". The waist is measured at the narrowest point near the middle of the board (usually). But like with all things in snowboarding, different brands measure different things. Some measure the midpoint between the tip and tail and call that "waist". Others simply provide a measurement they call, "width", but do not really specify what width they are referring to.
If that has you a bit confused, don't worry, because regardless of where these "waist" measurements are taken, they are not very useful for what they are typically used for. Most people think that this measurement is a good indicator of what foot size a board will handle. It is not, and for a simple reason: you do not stand at the waist, you stand at the inserts. A board's waist measurement is always less than the measurement at the inserts and often the difference is significant. Additionally, two boards with the same waist dimension, may have very different measurements at the inserts, depending on each board's sidecut. Measurement at the center insert is a much better way to compare boards for shoe size compatibility, but for some odd reason, manufacturers do not publish this info.
OK, so now we have told you why we think the commonly provided measurements are pretty silly, but what good does that do you? You still need to know how to figure out the correct width for your new board. Well, here comes. There are two easy steps to getting it right every time.
First, measure your bare foot. It is important that you do not try to use a boot size. It is also important that you measure in centimeters, because the board measurements that you will be comparing to will be in cm. Here is the method that we suggest:
Kick your heel (barefoot please, no socks) back against a wall. Mark the floor exactly at the tip of your toe (the one that sticks out furthest - which toe this is will vary by rider). Measure from the mark on the floor to the wall. That is your foot length and is the only measurement that you will want to use. Measure in centimeters if possible, but if not, take inches and multiply by 2.54 (example: an 11.25 inch foot x 2.54 = 28.57 centimeters).
Second, measure the board you are considering. This measurement is easy. It should be taken at the inserts. Try to measure at the inserts that you will be using to achieve your stance position. If you are unsure about this, simply measure at the center of the insert cluster (that will still be very close). Be sure to measure using the base of the board, not the deck. This is important because the sidewalls on many boards are angled in, and will therefore give you a smaller measurement on the deck than on the base. For our example's sake, let's say the measurement is 27.54 at the center insert.
Still with us? You are almost done. You now have a way to compare foot size to board width where it matters, but how do you interpret this info to get the correct width? Well that depends a little on stance angle. If you ride a 0 degree stance, you will want your foot size to be the same as the width of the board at the inserts or up to 1 cm greater. If you ride at an angled stance, you will want to measure the board across at the angles that you will be riding. Again, you will want your foot to at least match this measurement or exceed it by up to 1 cm. So using our example above, this guy has a foot 28.57 cm that exceeds the board with at the inserts 27.54 cm by 1.03 cm at a zero degree angle. But, when he angles his feet to the 15 degree angles that he rides, voila, he has .10 cm of overhang for a perfect fit.
But wait a second. Are we saying that you should have overhang, even with bare feet? Yes. You will need overhang to be able to apply leverage to your edges and to get the most out of your board. 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch of boot overhang for both toe and heel is ideal, and will not create problematic toe or heel drag. Remember that boots typically add 1/2 at both the toe and heel to your foot measurement from above, due to padding, insulation and the outer boot materials. We do not suggest using the boot length to size boards though, as the extra padding etc, cannot be used well to create leverage, that has to come from your foot itself. We highly recommend that riders do not choose boards where their feet do not come to or exceed the real board width.
OK, that's all well and good, but where can you get the information on board width at the inserts if the manufacturers don't provide it? That's easy. Email the store that carries the board(s) that you are considering. Give them your foot length in cm (and your stance width and angles if you know them). They will be able to provide you with the width at the inserts that you will be using and can factor in your stance angle as well to get you the exact overhang that you will have with bare feet.
Once mounted, the best way to test is to put your (tightly laced) boots into your bindings and strap them in tightly. It is important that you have the heel pulled all the way back into the bindings heel cup or the test wont help. On a carpeted floor place your board flat on its base. Kneel behind the heelside edge and lift that edge so that it rests on your knees and so that the toeside edge is angled down into the carpet. Now press down with both hands using firm pressure, one hand on each of the boots. This will compress the board's sidecut and simulate a turn on hard snow. You can change the angle of the board on your knees to become progressively steeper and you will be able to see at what angle you will start getting toe drag. You will want to repeat the test for your heelside as well. If you are not getting drag at normal turn and landing angles, then you are good to go.
Also a note about boots: Boot design plays a big role in toe drag as does binding ramping and binding base height. Boots that have a solid bevel at the toe/heel drag less. Many freestyle boots push for more surface contact and reduce bevel. This helps with contact, but if you have a lot of overhang with those boots it hurts in terms of toe drag.
Now go ride!
We stress this a lot, but toe drag is only one issue in terms of width choice (and is not the most important). Being able to achieve a centerred stance with adequate and balanced leverage is far more important.
Just measured the overhang with boots on my cousins board that I've been riding thus far and his is 0.5 toe 1.5-2 heel. So I'm gonna leave it as is.
Only difference between our setups is his bindings end at the boards edge, and his boots have an upward curve on both ends.
However my bindings have a strange shape and when angled, they have base plate overhang too. My rear binding is +6 and has no overhang, while forward binding is +15 and has 0.25in base plate overhang. Also my boots don't really have an upward curve.
So on the carpet test I can get up to about a 35 degree angle either side. Anything above is a no go.
Dunno if this will be an issue, and if it is, if it could be remedied by trading the L/XL binding for a M/L. Just don't know if it would fit, as the M/L is rated for 10 boot max.

ODOT is the first transportation agency to have a comprehensive Sustainability Plan. ODOT welcomes the challenge to continually improve our efforts to protect the natural beauty of our great state, while providing a safe, efficient transportation system. ODOT's Sustainability plan focuses on the following areas:
Since adopting ODOT's original Sustainability Plan in 2004, we have made excellent progress. Sustainability concepts are integrated into the Oregon Transportation Plan, the OTIA III State Bridge Repair Program and an environmental management system. ODOT currently leads the state in the use of biofuels for fleet vehicles. You might be surprised to learn the same vegetable oil used to make Kettle Chips is used in ODOT Fleet trucks to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. ODOT was using 45% of B-20 biodiesel equivalent by the end of 2014, surpassing its short-term goal of 25% and continues to increase the use of alternative fuels. ODOT is leading the way in other areas:
The Director of ODOT established the ODOT Sustainability Council, a group of mid to upper-level managers, which provide leadership for the agency on sustainability measures and practices. A great strength of the council is the cross discipline representation on the council. There are members representing the various divisions within the agency, from highway to transit to the Director's Office. The purpose of the council is to provide a vision of sustainability and to integrate sustainable practices and strategies into the day-to-day business of the agency. The council is doing tremendous work in leading ODOT into a more sustainable future. Each member of the council played a key role in developing ODOT's Sustainability Plan Volume I and Volume II. Council Members: Geoff Crook, Sustainability Program Manager Jerri Bohard, Transportation Development Division AdministratorSusan Haupt, Geo-Environmental Section Manager Luci Moore, State Maintenance & Operations Engineer Gary Keys, Operations & Policy Coordinator of Central Services Dinah Van Der Hyde, Senior Policy Analyst of Transit DivisionJim Cox, Preservation & Operations Manager of Technical ServicesGary Farnsworth, Region 4 Area Manager Michael Cobb, Office of Civil Rights Manager Jim Whitty, Office of Innovative Partnerships & Alternative Funding Manager Debbie Benavidez, Planning and Implementation Unit, Program Coordinator Hal Gard, Rail Division Administrator
Conservation and Alternative Resource Teams act as office "green teams" for the agency, known as CARTs. CART teams educate employees about work-related conservation efforts and promote voluntary participation in those efforts to create a culture of resource conservation awareness. A typical CART may work on initiatives such as:

Definitely movable. I wouldn't want to "short change" LFL's first female helmet.
I finished the rangefinder ear cap last night and am moving on to the actual rangefinder this weekend.
Definitely movable. I wouldn't want to "short change" LFL's first female helmet.
I finished the rangefinder ear cap last night and am moving on to the actual rangefinder this weekend.
I saw a picture of this about a week ago...I said the same thing...I want one!
Yeah I know who its for as we were discussing the soft parts.
Looks fantastic Cruzer!!!
Jeff had shared with me that you were going to be working on the soft parts for this costume, and I'm glad to hear it!
I decided to extend the bottom of the helmet in the back to make it more accurate. I also permanently attached the rangefinder ear and began filling in around it. I'll try to get some progress pics up today after work.
Please let me know if anyone sees anything that needs adjusting.
Thanks. - Cruzer
Awesome helmet, can't wait to see the finished product!
Ok, here is where the helmet is as of right now. I don't plan on making any major changes unless someone has a suggestion. I did narrow the visor area along the top line by 1/8", as well as increase the width of the widow's peak to bring it lower. However, I'm not happy with the visor area, so please let me know if anyone sees anything I should change.
The lines on this thing are unbeLIEVABLE!! Great job! Unfortunately I don't know enought about this character to make ANY suggestions. But, I do know it looks GREAT!!
Sorry for the lack of updates, guys. Had to step away from this project to finish "way overdue" Jango orders. The movable rangefinder stalk is completed. Now I have moved on to the rangefinder and hope to have it finished soon. I'll try to post pics tonight of the stalk and rangefinder progress.
My intentions are to cast the rangefinder stalks separately in aluminum cold cast with metal armatures to alleviate breaking, and then cast the rangefinder in white resin with the stalks embedded in them for permanent attachment. Once i have the rangefinder completed, I'll probably have to do a small preorder run at a discounted price to drum up funds for the four separate molds that will need to be made to put this helmet into production. I'll try to get some pics of the rangefinder and stalk up tonight.
Take it easy,
Thanks Cruzer. Cant wait to see it completed.
Looks really good. I hope someone will be able to produce body armor to go with it
I mite even pick up one of these cruzer keep it up buddy
I am here: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=59.801850,-122.573565
Sorry guys i failed to make the time to take pics. Over the past few days I've now logged about 5 hours on just the rangefinder alone because this thing has so many angles and sides. To make it I'm using a combination of styrene sheets in various thickness' of 1/8", 1/16", and 1/32"...and filling in with bondo when possible. It's 85% complete, and today after work I just need to finish up the curved detailing by the RF stalk, to be done. I promise to have pics up tonight.
The RF stalk height looks good. Looks about the same as a Boba or Jango stalk.
Nice detail in the RF
Looks amazing! Like it wouldn't... =P
I already got my helmet for Bo-Katan, but this one also really looks great! Indeed amazing!!
And it's gonna be even better soon ;D
Thanks guys, I'm glad you like it.
What SEEKER is hinting at is that he and I have already begun collaborating on bringing you guys all of the parts necessary to make Bo-Katan's entire suit. He is diligently beginning work on all of the leather items and soft parts. Likewise, I have already begun construction of the body armor, which I hope to have the majority of the upper body armor completed and ready to show off after this weekend!
LIKE!!!!! Count me in as interested! I'm really looking foreward on both your work! But so far I've seen, it's gonna be great!
Awesome! A suit for my wife!!
All the armor!? I'll bring Ainsley by so you can get her measurements..lol
I'm gonna be so broke! I already lightened my hair so that when I have it for CVI, I can take off my helmet and have the red hair like hers. You guys are awesome!! I can't wait!!
So thats who you are here

Many Swedish schools are experimenting with programs to teach math to students in Arabic who come from societies in which that is the language. Members of several Swedish political parties are upset because they argue that allowing children who are proficient in Arabic to learn math in that language will somehow lead to their inability to learn Swedish. It has always been ironic to me that those of us who knew a foreign language were not allowed to use in in school but we were compelled to take a foreign language in order to graduate. The assumption that learning math in Arabic will interfere with use of Swedish are ignorant of the reality of language acquisition. I was conversant in three languages by the age of eight and readily moved from one to the other when the occasion required.
There are now thousands of students in Swedish schools who take Arabic as their foreign language. In a recent experiment in Prague, pre-schoolers are being taught English by having them use English while playing or studying. For some reason that is OK, but allowing Arabic people to use their language while learning math is not approved by politicians who have never taught anything in schools.
Of course, it was the Arab peoples who gave the Western World mathematics.

Eds., reporters note: Sen. Nelson will meet with Lakeland Linder Regional Airport's director and air-traffic controllers tomorrow at 2 p.m. to discuss possibilities for offsetting the FAA's closing the tower there and those in other Florida cities. The meeting is open to media. The airport tower is located at 3900 Don Emerson Dr.
A local contact for Nelson is Celeste Brown 407-506-6057.
LAKELAND (March 27, 2013) - U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson said Thursday Congress could avoid the Federal Aviation Administration shuttering of 149 airport towers in Florida and other states by targeting a few projects spread throughout the federal government and deemed by some to be unnecessary, duplicative or wasteful.
In a move one lawmaker likened to "removing stop lights and stop signs from our roads," the FAA has announced it's closing the towers - 14 of them in Florida – to comply with a mandated across-the-board budget cut at all federal agencies. The tower closings will take place over four weeks starting April 7. "Congress can't find the estimated $10 million it would take to keep the towers open in Florida, yet the government's still able to pay for a lot of questionable stuff," said Nelson, citing Sen. Tom Coburn's annual slam-book on the government wasting taxpayers' money.
A list compiled for 2011 by the Oklahoma Republican included projects, like, some $10 million for a remake of Sesame Street for Pakistan; or, on Coburn's 2012 list, $24 million in administrative costs the government incurs to manage contracts for items no one buys anymore, like, typewriters. "Right now, I'd rather have the money to spend to on keeping our airport towers open," Nelson said. "Look, these regional airports serve not only business and commerce, but also law enforcement, air ambulances, and search and rescue operations.
"These aren't low-priority operations," the Florida Democrat said.
Nelson will discuss possible ways of keeping the towers open during a visit Thursday with area officials, including Lakeland Linder Regional Airport Director Gene Conrad. Linder Airport's tower is among those slated to be closed unless officials can find some $700,000, which is what the airport estimates the FAA pays a private company to staff it with seven workers each year.
Coincidentally, Coburn's 2012 list identifies one project that cost taxpayers that amount: the Pentagon is paying $700,000 to several companies to find a new way to make beef jerky.
When the airport cuts were announced earlier this month, the FAA at first proposed closing 189 air-traffic-control towers as part of its plan to cut $637 million under sequestration. The agency said it would keep open any towers if doing so would be in the country's interest. It then said it would close 149 towers.
Besides Lakeland, towers are being shut at Naples Municipal, Boca Raton, New Smyrna Beach Municipal, Page Field in Fort Myers, North Perry in Hollywood, Leesburg International, Ocala International-Jim Taylor Field, Ormond Beach Municipal, Punta Gorda, Northeast Florida Regional in St. Augustine, Albert Whitted in St. Petersburg, Witham Field in Stuart and Space Coast Regional in Titusville.
Airport leaders in Punta Gorda, Naples and some of those other cities are threatening to sue to block the FAA's action. Some of the cities also are considering trying to make up the costs themselves, no small task given their own strained budgets. Lakeland reportedly has received bids ranging from $365,000 to $376,000 a year.

Evan Agostini/APJennifer GarnerBack when she was on Alias, Jennifer Garner shot a Monday Night Football promo for a game featuring her beloved San Francisco 49ers. (It explains why she's so fond of wide receiver Terrell Owens in the spot.) But Garner has another major reason to root for the Niners in Sunday's Super Bowl—the Baltimore Ravens knocked off her husband's favorite team, the New England Patriots. And Ben Affleck says he may not even watch the game. "The wound is too fresh," the Argo director told E! "I just hated that loss, hated it. So I'm probably not going to watch it. I'm going to boycott." Rob Carr/GettyMichael PhelpsWhen Baltimore won the AFC Championship this year, rabid Ravens fan Michael Phelps was a big part of the locker-room celebration. "It's a very emotional thing for me to watch these guys really come together and play amazing," the former Olympian and Baltimore native said. And Phelps's presence is also a payback of sorts for retiring Ravens star Ray Lewis. "For me, just having Ray being such an inspiration to me and having him help me get through the end of my career, for this to be his last AFC championship game, I had to be here," Phelps said. "I knew it wasn't going to be his last game. Our last game is the Super Bowl." And Phelps will be there in New Orleans. Chris Pizzello/APTeri HatcherLong before she became a desperate housewife, Palo Alto native Teri Hatcher was shaking her pompoms as a founding member of the San Francisco 49ers cheerleading squad, the Gold Rush. In this 1984 video from their inaugural season, a teenage Hatcher can be limbering up and expressing how "nervous" and "excited" she is to get out there and cheer. Not only did Hatcher's time with the Gold Rush help her score Super Bowl tickets for her parents, but it also led to her first acting gig—as a member of the Mermaid showgirls on The Love Boat. Tom Berg/GettyStacy KeiblerAlthough she's many years removed from being a Ravens cheerleader, Baltimore native Stacy Keibler has lost none of her passion for her hometown team. "It's been 12 years—but worth the wait," she tweeted after the AFC Championship. "Way to go @Ravens! #SuperBowlBound #HarBowl #SendRayOutInStyle" And Keibler has even made her Ravens fandom work in her relationship with George Clooney. In 2011, after taking the Oscar winner to a game against his team, the Cincinnati Bengals, she tweeted: "You know it's love when your boyfriend has elbow surgery two days ago and takes you to a Ravens game ... especially when he's a Bengals fan." Jason LaVeris/FilmMagic, via GettyDana CarveyDuring his 1995 HBO comedy special Critics Choice, Dana Carvey, who grew up in the Bay Area, pandered to the San Francisco crowd by delivering his rallying cry (and one-lyric song) "Fucking 49ers!" But then the former Saturday Night Live star composed himself and said sincerely, "They're the best, man. I love the Niners." GettyHuey Lewis There are rabid 49ers fans and then there is Huey Lewis. The pop icon loves his Bay Area team so much that back in the '80s he had Niners legends Joe Montana and Ronnie Lott sing backup vocals on "Hip to Be Square." And for the past two years—as the team has returned to its former glory—Lewis (and the News) have returned to perform the national anthem at playoff games. Nick Wass/APCarmelo AnthonyAlthough he was born in Brooklyn and is now the king of New York basketball, Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony grew up in Baltimore and remains a huge Ravens fan. In 2008, the team asked Melo, who hadn't attended a game since he was 8, to be an honorary captain for the day. "It's means a great deal to be at the Ravens' first game, their home opener," he said before the game. "I never thought I would be doing the coin toss out here. It's just an honor for me." Sean Gallup/GettyLawrence Ferlinghetti Beat poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti wrote only one poem about sports—"Baseball Canto," which was inspired by Willie Mays and the New York Giants, who eventually moved to San Francisco several years after he did. Along with the Giants, Ferlinghetti became a big 49ers fan, but his passion waned over the years because of the sport's increasing violence. Then last year, as the Niners returned to the NFC Championship game, Ferlinghetti rekindled his love for the team and predicted they would make it to the Super Bowl. "I think they'll beat the Giants easily, no problem," he told The New York Times. "Their players are smarter and faster. Their coach is smarter. Of course, what do I know? I'm no expert on football." He was only a year off. Andy Marlin/GettyJosh CharlesBaltimore native Josh Charles has only one regret about the Ravens making it to the Super Bowl this year—he can't get down to New Orleans sooner because he's shooting The Good Wife. But Charles has faith in the team. "I'm hoping they can finish it," he told The Baltimore Sun this week. "It will put the perfect exclamation point on what's been an incredible ride that's made the state and the city really proud. I'm thrilled for them. They're good dudes." Which has earned them more supporters since their first Super Bowl trip in 2000. "The fan base has grown tremendously," Charles added. "I was in New York the other day and saw a Ravens flag on Third Avenue. That just put a smile on my face. It's grown, it's special. I'm really proud of this team. I love this team." Jeffrey Ufberg/WireImage, via GettyRobin WilliamsAfter decades of cheering for the 49ers and the Giants, longtime Bay Area resident Robin Williams knows the love flows both ways. On the profile page for the team mascot, Sourdough Sam lists the comedian as his favorite actor. Why? "49ers fan of course!"

Aiding Ayden
OCALA- In Ocala, Ayden Henke and his mother Tiffany are facing the fight of their lives. I was able to follow them around at home and in the hospital so that i could share this journey of "Aiding Ayden" where I found out that love and hope are bigger than cancer.
This is little Ayden. He is a three-year-old boy living in Ocala with his mother. He loves to dance, he loves to play and like any other toddler he wants things his way. But on January 7th, 2013 things changed for both Ayden and his mom.
"He had another seizure on the floor, he lay on the floor and he completely urinated his pants. he was just staring off into space and shaking and just incoherent and I knew at that time there was something totally wrong," said Ayden's mother Tiffany Henke.
Little Ayden was diagnosed with a brain tumor Pilocytic Astrocytoma ultimately causing him to lose his sight. Ayden's physician, Dr. John Fort says he will probably never get his vision back. Cancer is the leading cause of death by disease among children 1 to 14 years of age in the United States, according to the National Institute of Cancer.
"But if it eventually gets where it is uncontrollable, if it pushes the brain out through the bottom of his skull then theoretically it can be a fatal outcome," said physician John Fort.
However Ayden's mom, Henke isn't giving up. At Shands Hospital is where Ayden gets chemotherapy treatments. The process is a lengthy one. Each session takes about 5 to 6 hours. "It's helped me open my eyes so much bigger to things that I never knew, I never knew that there were things like this," said Henke.
While Ayden loves going to school, as long as he is doing chemo he can't go back to Pre-K. Henke said, "He goes out and tries to be with other kids and he can't because he can't see them, he can't play with them. The other kids are scared of him because they don't know what it's like for him."
Ayden has a special teacher, Sue Grossman with the Marion County Public Schools come home to teach him Braille and how to get by with a cane. "He loves using his cane and chasing after people and trying to find the bushes and trying to find the drop-offs on the driveway and things like that," said Sue Grossman.
Grossman says Ayden's strong will and his caring family are helping him get better each day. "Now I purposely throw the ball a little out of his range and teach him to put his head down and actually look on the ground and find that sound and find the ball and pick it up and he has been doing that," said Grossman.
Hospital scares and medical bills are all part of the struggle. "You don't know how you're going to live, you don't know you're going to pay your bills, you don't know you're going to be able to do anything and when the community just comes together and helps you, it's just amazing."
While many take being normal for granted that's all she wants for Ayden, Henke said. "These kids go through so much up here, in this floor and they're all so strong and nobody knows what they go through until they come up here, and it's just very hard the moms and the things that they go through for their children for them to be strong and you have to be strong right along with them and sometimes you can't," she added.
Armed with love and hope, the Henkes are aiding Ayden by fighting cancer one day at a time. If you would like to donate to help aid Ayden, check out his Paypal account here.
You can also gollow Ayden's progress through Facebook.

Next on our "don't forget" list is guests. Their enjoyment throughout the wedding day is just as paramount to you and your fiance's experience. That's why it's important to keep them happy and pre-empt any complaints from the moment the ceremony starts until the last song of the night ends.
1. Spread the Love – As a token of appreciation for their undivided support and love, have welcome bags with personalized notes waiting for them at their hotel room and give thanks to each table during the reception.
2. Seating Arrangements – Don't separate tables of family members and friends–mix it up! A good rule of thumb is to give your guests enough space both at their table and in between tables. Remember to choose centerpieces that are at a conversation-friendly height. No one wants to be crammed or blinded. Especially be considerate to those older guests and seat them away from the band or DJ. Tip: Use WeddingWire's seating chart tool.
3. Climate Changes – Keep in mind the weather conditions and guests' attire on your wedding day. If it's hot, provide chilled beverages, fans or umbrellas and if it's cold, provide warm beverages, shawls or heaters.
4. Entertainment – Play music that appeals to all ages and pump the volume when it's appropriate. Tip: Search WeddingWire's database of songs to build your playlist. Also, consider those guests, who don't like to dance. Add a photo booth with props or lawn games.
5. Food and Drinks – Inform guests how you'll be serving food and drinks (i.e. buffet, hors d'oeuvres, sit-down, cash or open bar) and ask about any food allergies or dietary requirements ahead of time.

Cartridge rolls(grit rolls, "tootsie" rolls) in 40-60-80 or 120 grit on a die grinder.I use 40 grit and 60 grit for aluminum, finer grits just plug up too easily and fast. You will need to get the mandrel for holding the cartridge rolls. Got to be careful not to hit the valve seats or slip and go "scribbling" across the deck surface or intake face. Watch out to make sure you don't hit the seat with the roll or with the grinder collet when you reach in deeper.
Get ahold of you local engine shop and see if they will sell you 2 old valves, an intake and an exhaust, and also grind them down so that they have no margin left. They may look at you funny until you explain why you want them LOL. You use these to drop-in and protect the valve seats while you are polishing the chambers, the current valves in the head will sit too high and you don't want to mess them up anyway.
In the ports, all you want to do is blend the casting and cutter lines smooth, anything more than that requires carbide cutters and a good deal of porting knowledge to not mess up the flow of a good head.
I've found the best deals on small amounts of cartridge rolls at www.competitionproducts.com . I would recommend you get 30 pcs 40 grit, 10-15 60 or 80 grit as they polish finer as they wear down, or just get the starter kit they offer as it has a little of everything and the mandrels. This is a good stop for engine related parts and tools.
This should be enough to get you started. I would highly recommend that you get a copy of David Vizard's book "How to Build Max Performance Small Block Chevy's on a Budget" , worth its weight in gold to a beginner, lots of pic's and good explanations.

My name is Christina and I just joined this board. I am currently a costume designer major at Santa Fe College/University of Florida and my goal is to start my own costuming business for Star Wars fans. I want to help out people who need something completely made all the way to just helping people with tips and eventually general patterns for those that sew. So, I need to start learning all about the construction of multiple outfits, especially the hard bits that aren't always covered in costume design. (The debate is still on if it's part of costume design or part of the prop department. I've had professors get pretty heated about this.) I hope to have Studio1138 up and running by 2011. I always welcome suggestions to what other costumers are looking for, and this will allow me modify my business to best help others. Thanks for your time.

We like to think there is more to life at TrustedReviews than playing with the best technology money can buy, but when it comes to awards season, it's hard to remember what that is, and that's because we're just as excited about consumer electronics as you are.
Since November 2009, a wide range of products have come out which have impressed us and provided a glimpse of the shape of things to come. We've seen innovations in almost all the categories we cover with digital cameras and mobile phones leading the charge. This year has also seen the birth of a new sector in the form of the tablet, while pioneering technologies of the last couple of years like e-book readers have now gone mainstream.
This year's awards presented some tough choices, so as well as thrashing it out amongst ourselves in the office, we also threw it open to you to tell us what you thought were the best products of 2010. And the results certainly make for interesting reading!
If there's one thing more annoying than awards ceremonies, though, it's long intros. We know you want to find out who walks away empty handed, and who picks up a coveted "Trusty". That will never catch on, so without further ado, we present the TrustedReviews Awards 2010.
Televisions and Projectors Awards 2010
TrustedReviews Product Of The Year 2010
Readers' Choice
Comparing it to what Hifi I think you could do with making the interface more simple to navigate. With their website each category is laid out on the first page.
Perhaps im a bit of a child and need pretty pictures to click on but I just think it was cleaner and easier to navigate.
Another thing Im not keen on is that some of the categories are too broad. I would have liked, instead of, best surround sound product you listed best amp, best speakers.
I still prefer your website and writing. Plus I know they are more focused on sound products and you cover far more.
Seems you both agree that the onkyo amp is best around. I think I will pick one up from RicherSounds.
Its a shame you dont get to test more amps and speakers (especially from Onkyo, B&W and pioneer)
not a single DSLR in the best DSLR and system cameras section......Interesting....
Will you guys be reviewing the HTC Desire Z anytime soon? I've opted to go for that rather than the Desire HD for quite a few reasons (screen quality, size, battery life, keyboard, Office onboard), so I'd really be interested to see how it stacks up to the HD in your opinion.
Looks a very comprehensive review, well done!
I do have a couple of questions tho, I was surpirsed that the Budget mobile phones included the HTC wildfire at number 2, since for half the price you can get the larger Orange SanFransisco/ZTE Blade (and then unlock it), so you get more phone for less money! Surely a contender?
@japester: it's certainly a sign of the times. These mirrorless system cameras offer interchangeable lens and loads of manual control, so technically does the user care whether there is a mirror or not?
I would also like to point out that our Annual Awards are always based on products we have reviewed over the previous 12 months. Here's the list of SLRs from 2010:
The 7D came 2nd in 2009 so wasn't included this year.
@coderkind: yes, HTC Desire Z review is in production as I type :)
@Stelph: perhaps true, but we haven't had a sample yet and so didn't make the shortlist.
Umm, about Office 2010 being product of the year... sorry but can't agree with that one. It does nothing really new, is still massive overkill for the vast number of users out there and, while the basic bundle for £75 is decent value for money, there are other free alternatives that'd do just fine for the majority of users. For businesses it's a worthy upgrade but product of the year? Really?
Frankly I think the reader vote got it right on this one with the iPad. Regardless of personal feelings (which seem to have had an impact here, the 'honourable mention' seems very grudging) it's taken a market segment that was basically dead outside of niche uses and made it THE hot sector to be in. It's proven to be very competitivley priced, very reliable and has been very well received by those that own one. Time will tell how long the tablet market will last but judged on its impact on 2010 it seems to stand apart from everything else out there.
It's also a bit of a shame that you do this so early in the year. There's another two months to go after all and, off the top of my head, that'd include a brace of Smartphones, the new Macbook Air, Kinect and possibly the first of the next wave of TV's.
You gave iOS an award for adding Folders and Multitasking?
I'd have to agree with BOFH UK - Office 2010 & 2011 as 'Product Of The Year' seems an odd choice. Mac Office 2008 Home users got royally screwed over the pricing of the Entourage to Outlook upgrade (that'll be an extra £90 thankyou). Plus there are serious omissions like being unable to sync Outlook 2011 calendar with anything if you're not an Exchange user.
I wondered why TR had been a bit quiet lately, you've been compiling this list! As @BOFH says, a bit early but I guess people can start planning their Xmas shop from this. I also think this shows how TR needs a bit of a redesign, one comments page for 20 odd categories. Is there something in the works? If I had more time I'd offer my services.
Office, at that price I really think people shouldn't complain. Sure there's free alternatives but they aren't as sleek or intuitive and while people love to say "Office has more features than the average user needs", fact is it does the simple things beautifully and for those that do need more you're not left wanting.
Good to see the Kindle up there as well, it's matured and become so cheap it deserves the recognition. Still it's a shame eInk tech hasn't matured faster so that we could get Kindle quality with the colour & ecosystem offered by the iPad. As for it's inclusion again yeah fair enough it's changed the landscape. Better (subjective) tablets will be half the price of the iPad in 6 months (already the Archos 7 is very tempting at £250), it'll be interesting to see where things go and how Apple can remain competitive (not that they've ever competed on price much in the past).
Not surprising that the netbook market has been stagnant, CULV is where it's going (if you're not going tablet that is). Still some lovely under £500 machines there, i'm still waiting for the perfect docking tablet that can bridge the netbook/tablet market though, guess that'll be 2012.
I still prefer the Samsung Galaxy S over the Desire, but I can see how the Desire can swing it for some with it's slightly more polished look. Still can't go wrong with either and Android is really taking off now.
Now time to go shopping...
@HK - about the page design, we know, and yes something is in the works :)
Nothing to see, or announce, just yet but stay tuned.
BOFH - we thought long and hard over our choices, and we felt that the vast numbers and value you mentioned had a lot of influence on our decision. There have been some stunning products which have had prices to match, or innovations in niche areas, such as home audio and projectors, however, we felt that greatest benefits for tech users overall were reflected in our winners.
drdark - I think those two pieces of functionality oversimplify the criteria of the whole package. iOS 4 took a product which was already a leader in its class and made it better. We're not saying it won't be surpassed (and already has in some areas), but it set the benchmark for usability.
It's nice to see TR phasing out DSLRs. And about time. CSC (ILC) Mirrorless cameras for the future!
There is a typo in the section on the Samsung NX10:
"Samsung is putting a lot of effort into the NEX range.." - Should be NX range.
I think the NX10 should be placed above the NEX5 though. Mainly because Samsung should get the ticket for producing the first APS-C sensor body in a mirror-less design - months before Sony came out with the NEX. Also the NX10 is more ergonomic, more compact with 30mm pancake, has a proper on-board powerful flash and better battery life. The available NX kit lenses (especially the 30mm/F2 pancake) are also leagues better than the NEX lot. Not really sure why the NEX nabs first place here.
I'm sorry to nitpick after you guys spent so long mulling over all these products to come up with those awards, but you really should lay out the winners in reverse order - it spoils half the fun if you immediately reveal who came first... first. I found myself turning my head and scrolling to the bottom. (Is that weird?)
@Rizwan: typo fixed thanks. And I'd just like to point out we are not "phasing out DSLRs" - we just review what's on the market. CSCs are on the rise but we have a Canon 60D review in the pipeline and I hear Nikon has made some good strides recently.
What we MIGHT see is that DSLR goes more upmarket (£1000+) and CSC takes over at the £500-ish pricepoint for prosumers. Or we might not. I have read that Nikon is working on a CSC model, and I imagine Canon is too. The question for me is whether I could still fit my 24-70mm L to one or whether it means all new glass...?
a) I was trolling. I do this on every Apple thread. You should know this by now ;).
b) It set the benchmark for usability way before iOS4, Folders are quite good, Multitasking solution is in no way class-leading, IMO.
Perhaps I was too absolute in saying "phase out DSLRs". I've been a little disappointed at the uptake of CSC cameras and take every opportunity to promote them. For some reason the general photographic public feels as though CSCs are not comparable to DSLRs at all. That they are best ignored. When I visit photography forums I see plenty of hobbyists and professionals enthusiastically recommending the entry level DSLRs and lenses to the newbies but ne'er a peep about the good CSC alternatives that are compact, more comfortable to use and just as good for the beginner purpose.
I believe that CSCs are the future and will eventually replace the DSLRs. The EVF, though initially slow and sluggish, has now come a very long way and present more information than an OVF can. At this rate soon it will become the preferred option.
As you say, the DSLR will very likely go more upmarket and CSCs will dominate the entry level market. Soon after though CSC cameras should take over the professional shooter's arena. Adapters will provide the compatibility that is needed. After all, with the elimination of the mirror/prism, the digital camera truly becomes "digital".
Pleased to see the Kindle got a mention. e-books seem to have decisively taken off this year... according to Amazon sales have now overtaken print books, even while print book sales continue to grow:
"For the top 10 bestselling books on Amazon.com, customers are choosing Kindle books over hardcover and paperback books combined at a rate of greater than 2 to 1. Kindle books are also outselling print books for the top 25, 100, and 1,000 bestsellers -- it's across the board".
I also echo the enthusiasm above for the Orange San Francisco. I appreciate it missed the timeframe for this year's awards, but it genuinely redefines what you can expect from a budget smartphone. If you liked the HTC Wildfire at £199 with a 320x240 TFT, the £99 San Francisco with an 800x480 AMOLED, more RAM and the newer MSM7227 processor would have been a shoe-in.
Have just bought one, and can't believe what I got for my money. Unfortunately the experience was soured by having to deal with Orange, who in the brief time I've been dealing with them have taken my expectations of the outer theoretical limits of how bad Customer Support could be and likewise redefined these.
Wow. Office 2010 product of the year - guys is that a joke? There are products out there like IBM Lotus Symphony 3 and Open Office 3 that are free, and probably hit the 80/20 rule (if not better) and at absolutely no cost. The only thing keeping MS Office in most businesses these days (for all but perhaps a very few high power users) is familiarity and concerns over file compatibility when moving to a different product (which are actually mostly unjustified). Many organisations could save vast sums of software maintenance charges by ditching that product !
Orange San Francisco (ZTE Blade) should have been in the budget mobile category, apart from the not so great camera, the phone is an absolute steal for under £100!
Unless I missed it, there is no category for PVR's. Aren't there more PVR users than Blu-Ray users out there ?
I'd like to thank Trusted Reviews for their support during the development of the Game Cube marking 2010 as the year in which small form factor gaming PC stopped being a pipe dream and became a reality.
id like to see a review of the new high performance Samsung RF710, please please please get a hold of a machine! it looks incredible maybe this is Samsungs Sony beater :D
Funny - none of the top "SLRs" are actually an SLR! What a joke...
> These mirrorless system cameras offer interchangeable lens and loads of manual
> control, so technically does the user care whether there is a mirror or not?
Not if they're looking for one of the cameras in your list, but if they were looking for an SLR then obviously they WOULD care there's no mirror because it would mean it's NOT AN SLR! Unbelievable... If you were looking for a motorbike, would you want someone to keep suggesting peddle cycles to you? The entire point of an SLR is that you can look through the lens you're shooting through and see all the detail that the lenses and filters are projecting. You cannot do that with any of the cameras in your list, so apart from having changable lenses, they are nothing like SLRs. To not even have one SLR in your list is just stupid. These cameras should be "also considers" not category winners!
It's about time you got some editors on here who know about cameras and photography. It's getting tiring reading articles by people who know absolutely nothing about the devices they are reviewing.
@ Nick Gilbert
Actually I find the reviews on this site quite good. The word progressive comes to mind. TR is one of the few sites that dares to put CSC cameras ahead of traditional DSLRs, and rightly so for they are the future of photography. The removal of the mirror(or prism)-box means less mechanical components, meaning less wear and tear and longer durability. The cameras are also smaller with little to no compromise made to image quality and features. CSCs are in fact DSLRs made truly digital. In short, the days of the DSLR are numbered. Soon they will be outdated relics of a former bygone era.
CSCs allow the user to see the image as though it is already taken. This is an advantage of having this type of camera. On this basis I do believe your statements are rubbish.
I do agree that being progressive and maybe even unconventional is a virtue in the tech world, and TR is laudable in that sense. However, it says "SLR" which means the "digital" part has been omitted, not the "reflex" part. (Dunno why..) The cameras which won were all non-reflex. DSLs, maybe I would agree, but in the SLR category, I would definitely side with Nick's opinion. If it comes to technicality, "cameras with interchangeable lenses" would be a more comprehensive undebatable category.
Also, I think Canon and Nikon (and Pentax) have all made very good efforts (much more noteworthy than the Olympus Pen at least) in 2010. If the deciding criteria is that the cameras have to be reviewed here at TR, then the best that can be said is that it's very biased, don't you think?

Hello everyone,
I'm planning on building a Fett helmet from scratch. I've got the Reference CD version 1, and have found the ratios of the helmet. (for the most part). However, what I lack is any hard numbers. As I understand, the exact dimensions are a subject of controversy. Is there any measurement that is generally agreed upon? I'm looking for at least one dimension from the side and front, from which I can find the rest via ratios.
If anyone with a DP, or even better, a "more accurate" helmet could give me a couple dimensions, that would be wonderful. Or any numbers the community has reached a consensus on.
I've searched this board as well as the RPF, but haven't found much at all, unfortunately.
If I can get some measurements, I plan on doing up some nice layouts as best as I can figure and posting them somewhere.
Any help here would be great. Thanks much. :)

You people have NO shame! Shame on you for desecrating the names of over 3000 American citizens who lost thier lives on 9/11/01! Shame on you for only thinking of yourselves on a day of rememberance....shame is brought on this country when we can't recognize that something terrible has happened, and we can only think of ourselves. For once, just once, can't you put aside your hate for TSA and recognize the importance of remembering what happened that day? No, because you'll never think of anyone but yourselves....shame.

@Anonymous, September 13, 2010 9:53 PM: Shame on you for only thinking of yourselves on a day of rememberance....shame is brought on this country when we can't recognize that something terrible has happened, and we can only think of ourselves.
Actually, many of us are thinking not about ourselves but about our country. We indeed recognize that something terrible has happened. As horrible as the 9/11 attacks were, some of us believe that the continuing response to those attacks is at least as terrible.
What is shameful is a "Homeland Security" bureaucracy shrouded in secrecy and exempt from the accountability and oversight required of other government agencies. It is particularly shameful when that bureaucracy exploits the sainted memory of the 9/11 victims to justify trampling basic rights and ignoring the Rule of Law.
I'm sure Homeland Security officials would like us to continually remember 9/11 and the fear and horror we felt on that day, so we'll be eager to surrender our rights, liberty, privacy, and even bodily integrity in exchange for their dubious "trust us" assurances of security.
The important thing, I suppose, is that 9/11 is a meaningful occasion. But with the diversity that has long been a unique strength of this country, it will have different meanings for different people. It is your right to believe that it should mean we remember to cower like good little sheep as we patiently wait for the officers to pat us down. It is my right to consider that a shameful desecration of both the 9/11 victims and what America should stand for.

Some people don't have the freedom to walk down the road without the threat of death being there, some people don't have enough water to keep their children alive, some people don't have a roof over their head or even a country to call home so stop moaning about a bit of security and be glad you have the freedom and the money to get on a plane!!

I thought I'd share my WIP of Mojo's awesome kit.
It was a EASY prop to work on, Gav did an awesome job on the molding of this
rare item.
In total it took me a couple of hours to do, I only have to find the right sized rolled pin to complete the trigger section.
Well enough jabbering, on to the pics, I left out the pics of the bondo work... there wasn't much.
I still have to do the weathering.
this is my fav pic.
Again thx to Gav and volkerc.

Hello everybody! I just joined the other day. I have found an absolute warehouse of knowledge here and I appreciate every bit of it! I have been wanting to build my own Fett for a long time (Prop stand up only, not as a wearable (I'm too short ))
I have almost finished my 1st piece...Ammo Belt. I still need to add grommets. I bought them the other day at Wally World and now I can't find em to save my life!
The belt is all vinyl that has been roughed up and darkened. All the stitching is by hand (I was ready to shoot myself before I was done with the stitching!)
Feedback appreciated! Thanks!

text: We probably would have an extra 7 or 8 wins if guys were not brought back too soon from injury and were slowly brought back into the rotation when they did come back after and extended stay. 20 or so games left and we still do not have any kind of set rotations - just like last year. Why is this? You have to go small ball to play everyone. With this team guys will have to play less than they are used to. Since we are out of the playoffs. Stuckey, BG, Day, JJ, Maxiel Then bring Rip/Tay and Ben W off the bench for 20 MPG or so. Tell them that the seasons over and they can think of it as some time off. Also find a way to get Wilcox and Kwame some time so their signings were not a total waste and we can see if they are worth keeping for next year. Also try to get Summers some time. And if CV is still hurt then sit him until he is healthy, otherwise maybe start him and let him improve for next year.

The Canisius College rowing team claimed its fourth conference honor this season, as the Varsity Eight was named the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) Crew of the Week on Tuesday afternoon. The Golden Griffins' Varsity Eight finished the spring season undefeated against MAAC opponents in four races.
"We're thrilled to have the conference recognize the weekly accomplishments of the varsity eight," said head coach Joel Furtek. "I'm proud of the way both eights raced on Saturday and look forward to them showing their true speed this weekend at the MAAC Championship. We've taken this season one week at a time and continue to do so."
The Griffs' Varsity Eight collected its seventh win over a MAAC crew with a solid victory over MAAC affiliate Robert Morris at the Black Rock Cup along the Black Rock Canal on April 20. In the final race of the day, the Golden Griffins' Varsity Eight completed the sweep of Robert Morris to capture the Black Rock Cup. The Griffs finished the day with over a 25-second lead against the Colonials in the head-to-head race, posting a time of 7:57.95 to the Colonials' time of 8:23.69.
The win gave the Varsity Eight its second over Robert Morris this year, including a win at the Knecht Cup. Through four spring races, the Griffs captured conference wins over Marist, Loyola and Jacksonville, while posting a pair of wins over both Fairfield and the Colonials.
The Varsity Eight included sophomore Liz Reinwald, senior Monica Klenk, freshman Nora Kennon, senior Bridget Laszewski, junior Liz McKinney, junior Nancy Kennish, senior Stephanie SanFilipo, junior Lynna Paradiso and freshman coxswain Hannah Blum.
The Blue and Gold continue their preparation for the MAAC Rowing Championships on April 26-27 in West Windsor, N.J. The MAAC recently announced the seedings for the conference championships with the Varsity Eight entering as the top seed, the Second Varsity Eight as the third seed, and the Varsity Four as the eighth seed.
