|cool rockin daddy
You haven't gotten any replies because this has been beaten to death on here, the rest of the net, and the chevy magazines.
Do a forum search and you will find your answers.
|And with the performance boost im also hoping to get better mpg because as of now i think im getting around 5-8mpg. I think i saw somewhere the the vortec heads will boost mpg a fair amount because of how bad and restrictive the old swirl port head design is?
Budget 350 vortec swap
Alright so i have a 350 in my 1984 2500 and im looking to get some more power out of it mostly low end torque and hp being its a truck and whatnot. Right now its mostly stock besides headman headers and true duals, performer intake, 650 cfm thunder series carb. mallory ignition, taylor wires. its got a Th400. and a bunch of shiny go fast engine parts the last guy threw on there.
Im looking at doing a budget vortec head swap and i had a few questions. Im looking at doing this as wallet friendly as possible. Alright so here goes.
i can get a set of vortec heads for around $300 off craigslist or hopefully even less than $200 if i go to a junkyard and pull em myself.
if i dont get big cam will i be able to keep it out of the machine shop and having to upgrade the valve springs and all that? i was thinking the edelbrock performer truck cam and hydraulic lifter kit. http://www.jegs.com/i/Edelbrock/350/...rentProductId= or mabye even just keeping the stock cam if that would even work? i want to keep a smooth idle as this will be my daily driver(i dont drive much) only to school and work 5 miles away
ill need new valve covers right? or mabye use the stock vortec ones
I know ill need new gaskets and all that
will my pushrods work or will i need new ones?
I know ill have to ditch the performer intake. i can get a edelbrock nock off vortec airgap intake new for around $150 or mabe find a used one.
My headers should bolt right back up though right?
now i heard you can end up with to much compression with a vortec swap. if i have a very mild cam like the one above i should still be able to use pump gas mabe even 87 still?
im sure im missing things but just want to know everything that i will need for the swap. Thanks

I've being tryied to root my Galaxy Tab 2 7" for a long time, trying different ways to do it, but with no good results.
Yesterday I foung in a different Forun a Simple way to root my device. In fact, I actually did it today in very simple steps.
Thanks and all the credits to Chainfire (if you feel so, help him with a beer!)
I will just copy the topic right down:
[GT-P31xx] CF-Auto-Root
Check your device model ! Settings -> About device -> Model number. See the third post for exact supported model numbers. If your device is a totally different model, it will not work (may even brick) !
CF-Root is the root for "rooting beginners" and those who want to keep as close to stock as possible. CF-Root is meant to be used in combination with stock Samsung firmwares, and be the quickest and easiest way for your first root.
CF-Root has been available for many devices and has clocked over 8 million downloads. This is not even counting custom ROMs that already include it. Don't be a leech, buy me a beer (and use the "Thanks" button!). Imagine if every CF-Root user has donated me $1...
What's installed
- SuperSU binary and APK
- Stock recovery
Installation and usage
Flash the CF-Auto-Root package as PDA in ODIN (details on how to do that are in next post), and your device should reboot into a modified recovery (signified by a large red Android logo) and it will install SuperSU for you and restore the stock recovery, and reboot back into Android.
If you don't get to the red Android logo, boot into recovery manually ("adb reboot recovery", or boot while holding Power+VolUp+Home).
Using this root increases your flash counter. You should run Triangle Away (see below) after rooting to reset the counter. Note that if you want to run custom kernels or custom recoveries, your flash counter will be set to 1 at every boot. Either configure Triangle Away to reset the counter at every boot (Play version only) or only reset the counter when you need to go into warranty.
Did you see the red Android logo during rooting, but SuperSU does not appear? This may sometimes occur due to left-over files and settings, however, you can usually install SuperSU from Google Play at this stage and it'll just work.
Not included - Triangle Away
Triangle Away can be used to reset the flash counter after installing CF-Root. The flash counter keeps track of how many custom firmwares you have flashed, as this voids warranty. (No idea what this about ? Read up on it, you will want to use this !)
Not included - adbd Insecure
As this CF-Root does not include a custom kernel, adb shell does not have root access by default (you can still get it by typing su inside the shell), nor is adb remount supported, nor will adb push and adb pull work on system files. adbd Insecure can be used to remedy this situation. (No idea what this is about ? Don't worry about it !)
CF-Auto-Root homepage
CF-Auto-Root main thread
[CENTRAL] CF-Auto-Root
For requests for new roots and generic discussion - please keep device specific discussion in the thread you are viewing now.
ODIN Installation (detailed)
- Follow these instructions to the letter. Do not touch any buttons or checkboxes that are not listed below to touch!
- Unzip the attached Odin3-vX.X.zip file
- Download and unzip the CF-Auto-Root-....zip file (see posts below this one)
- If you end up with a recovery.img and cache.img file, you've extracted twice. You need to end up with a .tar.md5 file - don't extract that one
- (USB) Disconnect your phone from your computer
- Start Odin3-vX.X.exe
- Click the PDA button, and select CF-Auto-Root-....tar.md5
- Put your phone in download mode (turn off phone, then hold VolDown+Power to boot - if it asks you to press a button to continue, press the listed button, or run adb reboot download command)
- (USB) Connect the phone to your computer
- Make sure Repartition is NOT checked
- Click the Start button
- Wait for Android to boot
- Done (if it took you more than 30 seconds, you need practise!)
- NOTE: Sometimes the device does *not* boot into recovery mode and root your device. Just do the entire procedure again if this happens. If it still will not install root and such, make sure that in Odin "Auto Reboot" is not checked. Then after flashing, hold VolUp+Power (for several seconds) to boot into recovery manually. This will start the install process.
New to Samsung? Unfamiliar with Odin? Think all the above is a hassle? Get used to it. It's very simple, and us Samsung folk use Odin (or Mobile ODIN ) for everything! It's so very very convenient once you get used to it. Notice the 30 second comment above? For experienced users, the entire process indeed takes only 30 seconds!
You may now optionally want to install and run Triangle Away to reset the flash counter.

[ROOT] TriangleAway v2.60
Many Samsung devices store a flash counter that keeps track of how many times you have flashed custom firmwares to your device. On some devices, a yellow triangle or other sort of visual warning is also displayed during boot if you are running a custom firmware. TriangleAway was built to disable the triangle (if a visual warning is present) and reset the custom ROM flash counter to 0. This app requires root !
You can find out the current status of your flash counter and firmware state (custom or official) by booting into "download mode" on most devices. The usual way of getting into "download mode" is by first turning off your device, then turning it on by pressing and holding VolDown+(Home)+Power. Alternatively, the "adb reboot download" command also often works.
When you run TriangleAway, if your device and firmware are supported, it will show you the detected state of the binary (custom or official) and flash counter value, and the option to Reset flash counter. Please confirm that the information shown is correct before resetting the values.
On a number of devices, TriangleAway can work, but your firmware may not be supported directly. In that case, the app will tell you it needs to reboot into a special boot mode, which will be happen if you select Reset flash counter. The device will reboot into a special mode which will allow you to review the current status and reset the binary and flash counter values (or abort and do nothing). On some devices this will actually trigger the counter to 1 if its 0 - so if you're "just checking", do that in download mode!
( and by brick I mean brick - only a board replacement or a JTAG unit will be able to save you, don't mess with boot(loader) stuff unless you really mean it! )
Note#1: using Triangle Away may unmount your SD card. Reboot or manually remount it from Android settings.
Note#2: on new devices like the SGS3/SGNote2/SGNote10.1, the "system modified" status can only be reset on some firmwares - they must be stock firmwares!
- Triangle Away shows a negative counter ?
If you have a very large flash count (over 127) this is known to happen. Please confirm in download mode that you actually have that large a flash count before resetting the counter.
- After using Triangle Away I get no bootscreen at all or an error message on screen ?
Try flashing the attached "param.tar" as PDA in ODIN (no repartition!), that may clear up the issue. Samsung Galaxy S II GT-I9100 ONLY
- What about future updates and devices ?
Please read this article I wrote about this: http://www.chainfire....ay_vs_Samsung/
- On my SGS3/Note2/etc, Download Mode says my System is modified, and Triangle Away does not reset it
Triangle Away attempt to reset this status and block it from coming back, but it depends on the firmware. It does work on some (not all) stock firmwares. Resetting this value doesn't work on custom firmwares! See the post below this one for more information.
- On the SGS3/Note2/etc, System->Settings->About device->Status still shows "Modified"
This is outside the scope of Triangle Away. The "system" status is not even always resettable in the bootloader. If you are going for warranty, you need to also reflash a full stock firmware and wipe your device. If they boot up your device and find root apps, you're not going to get any warranty anyway. If you do such a full stock reflash and wipe, the "Modified" value will go away. See the post below this one for more information.
- My counter always stays at 1
Some devices/bootloaders set the counter to 1 at every boot if you are running a custom kernel or recovery. On these devices, Triangle Away may always display 1 - make sure to check the counter in actual download mode, and make sure you are running a stock Samsung kernel and recovery.

Whether or not Triangle Away works depends largely on your kernel. Flashing a different kernel may make it work if it previously didn't.

The Google Play download is not free - it costs about a beer (thanks!). The download listed below is 100% the exact same program, but free. I provide it for free because I believe this app should be available even to people who cannot pay on Google Play. If you are able to purchase on Play, please consider that I have spent a great many hours on this, and the latest version also uses server resources I have to pay for.

Cupertino, Calif. -- Apple reported a record second-quarter net profit of $5.99 billion, or $6.40 per diluted share, and revenue of $24.67 billion, thanks to strong sales in Macs, iPhones and iPads. These results compare with net quarterly profit of $3.07 billion, or $3.33 per diluted share, and revenue of $13.5 billion, in the year-ago quarter. International sales also helped boost profits, as they accounted for 59% of the quarter's revenue, the company reported.
Apple said it sold 3.76 million Macs during the quarter, a 28% unit increase over the year-ago quarter. The company sold 18.65 million iPhones in the quarter, representing 113% unit growth over the year-ago quarter. The company also sold 4.69 million iPads during the quarter.
One area in which the company struggled was in iPod sales. Apple said it sold 9.02 million iPods during the quarter, representing a 17% unit decline from the year-ago quarter.
"We are extremely pleased with our record March quarter revenue and earnings and cash flow from operations of over $6.2 billion," said Peter Oppenheimer, Apple's CFO. "Looking ahead to the third fiscal quarter of 2011, we expect revenue of about $23 billion and we expect diluted earnings per share of about $5.03."

I have been doing a lot of searching before I start posting anything so I am sorry if this has already been posted.
I have seen a few threads on TDH about people who have made armor cut from trash cans. Now my first question is, do these turn out to look all that great? Second question, is it an easy material to work with? And lastly, does anyone have any high res photos they can point me to of some of the trash can armor.
I am curious because I would like to see if I can get something passable wile I am taking the time to craft my main armor out of aluminum.


text:
Hi there,
So I've skimmed TDH often when in need of information on Boba or Jango. And I must say, I am immensely impressed! This has go to be by far the ultimate one-stop-shop for bounty hunter information.
I am a frequent poster on many forums (so basically if you see "TheGhraveArtist" floating around, thats me :D) such as whitearmor.net, scifihero.net and much others.
Pretty much you average guy. Big anime fan, sci-fi junkie, prop-lover, reader, drawer, aspiring graphic artist, costumer/cosplayer, among many things.
Hopefully I'll have some advice to offer the StarWars community. I know for sure I'll be receiving it :D

- Are you using electros or mechanicals? Winter is the best time to go low-tech and bring the mechs out. Automags, Tippmanns and pumps.
- If you go electro, fresh batteries, and extras on you, and keep them warm if possible.
- Most grease is good to lower temps, but check and make sure. Even some oils become a little tacky in the extreme cold.
- Winter paint. Yes, it's expensive. Yes, it's like being shot with a crayon. Yes, it will not turn into a slushy nightmare of cr@p in your loader and marker.
- The right clothing. Keep warm, dress in layers, and some kind of wicking under-layer is a must. Gloves, a tuque, good socks and boots, and bring an extra pair of socks and gloves if you can.
- Goggle fans. Condensation will fog, then freeze on the inside of your lens. Goggle ventilation moves the warm, moist air out, keeps you fog (and thereby frost) free.
- Thermal pads. Little Hotties, Hot Shots, whatever they're named, they're the boot and glove warming little chemical heat pads. Bring them and use them, your fingers and toes will thank you.
- The good sense God gave you. If you are really cold, go inside and warm up. If you get too hot, peel off a layer. If you feel a chill, add a layer. Having half your ear turn black from frostbite and being amputated is how God tells everyone you're a retard...

Click any word in a definition or example to find the entry for that word
a small piece of paper or card which is left over when holes are punched in voting slips, data cards, etc.
'Florida, rich with sand, amusement parks and 27 electoral votes. According to at least four polling centers, McCain has a small lead in the land of the hanging chad, but the race still is too close to call.'Steuben Courier, New York 14th September 2008
'Ventura County voters Tuesday will use a chadless punch-card machine that employs a chrome lever to mark choices …'Yolo County Voting Technology Advisory Committee 28th February 2004
What links the election of the most powerful man on the planet and a tiny scrap of paper? The answer is the word chad, a relic of the times when Americans registered their presidential vote by punching a small hole in a ballot slip. (You can see a photo here, thanks to the University of Iowa Computer Science Department.)
the humble chad has been rendered obsolete by the use of updated voting technology
If you've ever used a hole punch prior to placing paper documents in a folder, you'll be familiar with a chad. It's that little bit of paper that irritatingly falls on the floor when you've punched your hole (though some punches have a neat mechanism for capturing it, so that the number of chads just keeps growing and growing until you eventually empty them into the bin in a sort of chad massacre!).
Though chads still crop up in certain aspects of life (e.g. they sometimes surface in shops, where holes are punched so that merchandise can be hung on pegs), they are no longer a feature of US election procedures. The humble chad has been rendered obsolete by the use of updated voting technology, with millions of dollars invested in providing chadless systems and e-voting (or electronic voting).
However, if you've been following coverage of the current presidential election, you'll almost certainly have seen or heard the word chad. Linguistically speaking, chad is alive and well, thriving in print and speech amid comment and speculation about the outcome on November 4th.
The reasons for this relate to the highly contentious election of 2000, when, in the state of Florida, a majority was determined by the counting of punch card ballots. Voters leaving incompletely-punched holes resulted in partially-punched chads, where one or more corners were still attached, a phenomenon famously described as the hanging chad. Similarly, there was the issue of the dimpled or pregnant chad, where all corners were still attached, but an indentation appeared to have been made. The validity of voting slips with hanging or dimpled chads became a hotly debated issue, because arbitrary decisions (i.e. hanging chads were counted, dimpled were not) had in fact influenced the outcome of the vote. After a recount of the Florida vote, the whole fiasco was humorously referred to as Chadgate (a blend of chad and -gate, a suffix which is now used productively to denote any kind of scandal).
Eight years on, and it seems that the pesky little chad is as famous as ever. It may no longer be physically present in the voting booths, but has acquired a certain resonance in election commentary, now pretty much synonymous with any whiff of controversy. The recent renaissance of chad has doubtless also been assisted by Recount, a film released in May 2008 which stars Kevin Spacey and chronicles the contentious Florida vote.
Grammatically speaking, chad has had an interesting evolution. Originally, it was thought of as a mass noun, with phrases such as a piece of chad being used to refer to the individual bits of paper. With popular use however, chad has become countable, and now has two plural forms chad and chads (compare fish, where plural forms fish and fishes are both possible).
The most recent edition of Merriam-Webster's dictionary dates chad back to 1944, though it states 'origin unknown'. Various unsubstantiated theories about chad's origins exist, including the Scottish term chad meaning 'gravel'.

Bacary Sagna made it into the PFA Team of the Year last season and, on the evidence of his performances this season, you wouldn't bet against him repeating the feat this term.
The reliable French right back is expected to line up against Cardiff City on Sunday and he granted an exclusive interview to Arsenal TV Online ahead of the FA Cup tie. Bacary discussed:
- the FA Cup experience
- his previous trip to Ninian Park
- the changed nature of the defence
- that clearance off the line at Villa Park
- working with Pat Rice
- coping with a second season in England
- forsaking some of Arsenal's attractive game
- Cesc Fabregas texting the team

Swansea 0-0 Chelsea (2-0)
- From the section Football
Swansea City are into their first major Cup final after holding 10-man Chelsea to a scoreless draw in a controversial Capital One semi-final second leg at the Liberty Stadium.
The result gave them a 2-0 aggregate win, but was marred by the sending off of Chelsea's Eden Hazard after he appeared to kick a ball boy.
The Belgian midfielder was dismissed in the 80th minute after an incident behind the home side's goal.
The Swans face League Two Bradford in the final at Wembley.
Hazard's red card came after he tangled with a ball boy, who was slow getting the ball back into play. He appeared to lay on the ball and TV replays showed Hazard kicking him.
But the incident failed to take the edge off the celebrations at the Liberty Stadium, as the crowd sang their approval of Swansea's stubborn resistance.
It was in stark contrast to the Chelsea players, who trooped off heads down as the party started around them.
The result piled more pressure on interim manager Rafael Benitez as his side failed to maintain their recent good away form.
Like the first leg they had plenty of possession, but failed to turn it into a goal.
No one summed up Swansea's determination better than Michu. His industry was exhausting to watch as he ploughed a lone furrow up front and chased every lost cause.
Small wonder the Swansea management were delighted when he signed a one-year contract extension before the game.
Benitez made a statement before the game, dropping Fernando Torres to the bench with Demba Ba leading the attack.
Swansea, who were last in a major semi-final in 1964 when they lost 2-1 in the the FA Cup to Preston North End, welcomed back Chico Flores with Leon Britton coming in for Itay Shechter.
The game took off in the seventh minute when Ba went down under a challenge from Ben Davies claiming a penalty, but got only a corner for his trouble.
The Swans broke quickly at the other end with Jonathan de Guzman's goalbound shot brilliantly blocked by Cesar Azpilicueta, while Petr Cech had to save after Michu was put through on goal.
Chelsea hit back with Gerhard Tremmel forced into saves from Oscar and Ramires, though Gary Cahill went closest with a free header cleared off the line by Angel Rangel.
Ba blasted over just before the half-time whistle, which the Swans were happy to hear.
And the Senegalese striker was quickly into action after the break, curling a shot just past Tremmel's left-hand post.
Chelsea continued to probe, but their frustration grew and boiled over when Hazard tangled with the ball boy after another attack petered out.
Ba had to calm a clearly irate Swansea captain Ashley Williams and, after a long break, referee Chris Foy showed Hazard a red card.
Chelsea's threat evaporated, and it was the Swans egged on by a euphoric crowd who finished the stronger, with Nathan Dyer forcing a superb save out of Cech.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by roscoe36, Aug 29, 2006.
Hey in that Buck game Darko had 4 blocks and no PFs. No PFs means you gave up the chili.
Magic are really starting to reak. Raptors got them last night.
Yup. They were OK when they were at full strength, but they are the walking wounded right now. Ariza- knee sprain Hill- left pinky in Jan. knee sprain in Feb. Battie- broken thumb Dooling- thumb, sore achilles Nelson- lingering groin issues Turkoglu- chronic flu-like symptoms, recently resulted in dehydration, sprained ankle in Dec. Arroyo- broken jumpshot. Sprained passing muscle. It is reminiscent of the days when teams had to make up injuries for the inactive list. Hopefully they decide that they aren't good enough this year and spend the rest of the season developing their youth.
Aren't "flu-like symptoms" usually a team's euphemism for a hangover? Has Hedo picked up some bad habits from the Big Man of the Future?
Actually, I think that he has a pretty frustrating condition. Sometimes, you can get a virus that your immune system never fully destroys. So it comes in waves. When it acts up, your immune system kicks in and suppresses it, but never fully snuffs it out. Kind of like a chronic fatigue situation. It's different than the one Sheed has.
I'm pretty sure there is a mango and roasted red pepper balm you can use to cure this.
I'm surprised that so many seem to be surprised that Orlando is in a free fall. They are a "one-pony" team when it comes down to it. Always were. I predict a future serious debate on the Magic board about who is better; "their" Piston pick or Darko? Orlando will be in the lottery year after this one as well. Unless they pull a blockbuster and land say...a Vince Carter. For our part, looks to be 12-13 "big" men comin out next year. We could stand pat, not re-sign FlipM and DD, and make room for two #1 draft picks, while keeping the CHAMPIONSHIP team intact. Orlando should take notes!
Mad, Orlando tonight just whooped a fully healthy SanAntonio team. I would not cry too many tears for them.
Oh so they can front like the Pistons. If they don't watch out they'll be on the beach come April.
I bet JD takes the 2 picks and parlays them into a solid vet. back up PG.
Lee, what does a last second 2-point win & a whooping have in common?
Orlando was down 18 points. I am referring to the whooping from that point. In ther first half, Hill put in a very effective comination of players, Arroyo running the point, Nelson at shooting guard, Redick at small forward, Darko at power forward, and Howard at center. In the 2nd half, this unit came back on the floor mid-3rd quarter, and proceeded to win the game from quite a ways down. Feel free to ask more questions.
So, as it stands right now, we are due to get the 16th, 25th, and 55th picks in the 2007 draft. The 2003 was about the best draft on record, so let's see what these picks would have got us that year. 16th- Troy Bell (is he playing in the NBA right now? looked it up, no) 25th- Carlos Delfino (bench player) 55th- Rick Rickert (don't think he's in the league) The 17th pick that year was Zarko Cabarkapa... I guess my point is, we shouldn't necessarily rely on improving the team through this channel.
Well said Tashawn.... perfect example of the crap shoot we call the draft... and how rediculously hyped it is... trade it for a proven anyday.... or you can draft the kid and he might pay off (after suffering through growing pains) in his third year and could bolt in his 4th... whuppidy damn doo.... that graph from draftexprees (Roscoe source?) said a lot about the chances of us getting quality after the 15th pick.... for every keeper there was 3 or 4 losers. Now if you're talking about the lotto that's a different game.
i thought we had minny's 2nd round pick this year too?
Dennis Rodman was a 2sd round pick.
It falls somewhere between 2006 ~ 2008. If it is Minny's preference, I reckon they will elect to keep it in this draft. You never know who will fall into the second round, and maybe they have targeted someone in particular.
Ben Wallace was undrafted. I know it is possible to grab a great player, but par for the course in the late-teens to late-twenties doesn't seem as great as I imagined. Maybe it would be good to look at 10 or so 16th picks and see what kind of player we should be expecting. Orlando could always do worse the 2nd half, but given the amount of injuries they have had, it is probably more likely that they improve when they get guys like Ariza back.

Still 20 years ago, every serious scientist dismissed acupuncture.
Now they have to admit that it works, because we have so much evidence.
In a while from now, it may be possible to explain how homeopathy works.
What any homeopath like me can already tell you today is this:
We know it works, and so do our healed patients.
We are 'tailors'. We don't make one suit that fits all.
We don't treat symptoms, but remove causes. "
Hello, colleague,
I couldn't have said it any better than you! Perfect!
Actually this is what I say on my professional blog which is still under construction: http://naturheilpraxisbeuing.blogspot.com/
Perhaps it should be mentioned here that many people who take homeopathic remedies often don't need any allopathic remedies even in higher age.
Hope we can chat some more about this!
Annapurna wrote:Oh.
Of course YOU don't have much evidence, but others do.
Plenty of first hand experience.
I also think we all deserve the remedies we get.
We may not be able to leave thinking to others, we may need to do some own studies and cultivate some independant thinking.
The clientel of homeopathic counsellors has an overwhelmingly high percentage of young to middle aged academics with high profile careers and superior income.
Kinda speaks for intelligent customers and not unedacated gullible folks who fall for snake oil.
Plus, one shouldn't pass any judgements about things one doesn't know much or anything about. It can only be PREjudice or chewing the cud of others.
Vardali wrote:Anna was saying before that homoepathic treatment works with animals.
I know a lot of pet owners who think so too. And to be fair, I have had good success with some non-allopathic treatment of my cats, usually for small things not worth putting them through the stress of a vet visit or in cases when the vet gave up on them. There is a lot of increasing evidence on the benefits of natural remedies (supplements, spices etc.), so it's not always homoepathic. However, I have seen it work sometimes, but I also had cases where no change could be detected. This is why homoepathy is never gonna be proven effective by terms of clinical studies.
Not sure whether I said this before but I think the best effects when using natural remedies and homoepathic treatment works around the immune system, i.e. the "internal balance", so to speak. I wouldn't even think of relying on it for treatment of parasites, broken bones, high fever etc. (even though I know that there are supposedly "supporting" stuff, I would stick to bio-chemical and standard allopathic treatment). However, even homoepaths seem to be divided on that; my vet works closely with a homoepath (who holds a doctorate in bio-chemistry, btw, so science and alternative medicines is not mutually exclusive ). This homoepath actually doesn't support sole homoepathic treatment of serious bacterial infection, fungal infections or parasites with homoepathic means because in her opinions homoepathy is not suitable for that stuff (although it is for supporting the self-healing capabilities of the body). Nevertheless, there are many homoepaths who refuse any allopathic means and religiously believe homoepathic treatment can heal everything (it's just trial and error to find the "right" means). This latter attitude I do find a bit incredible, and I rather appreciate the more differentiating view on what alternative medicine could potentially - or not - deliver.
But as some here have said, it does remain anecdotal in the end.
And hm, that was a bit off-topic now, wasn't it?
Sorry, Like i said, no evidence whatsoever, if there was evidence it would have been adopted to mainstream medicine. Now, i am not saying it won't be helpful, it might be helpful, but it may not be helpful too, if you give it thinking that "like cures like" and it works then thats fine, but it is not evidence based medicine.

I'm writing to ask for your oh-so-valuable help!
I am supposed to teach a class of adults of mixed abilities. Some of them are complete beginners; some of them are already elementary, can speak and read English a little bit.
My first class isn't supposed to be based on the textbook: I am to prepare some activities to check how many of my students actually know anything
This is a General English/ Business English Course.
Now I'm really in trouble. I know many icebreakers, warmers etc. but I don't know almost any which I could use for total/false beginners class. I don't want my group to be either bored or frightened to death
I've prepared some information gap activities connected with introducing oneself, but that won't take 60 minutes.
Have you got any ideas? Share them with me, please! I'll be very grateful.

The Freight Planning Unit exists to coordinate public-private, state-local, and state-federal freight transportation investment decisions and activities on a statewide and state-to-state basis. It ensures that all ODOT Divisions integrate freight mobility considerations into their day-to-day business practices. Freight planning refers to connecting different modes of transportation and/or transferring freight from one mode to another at facilities such as airports, terminals, and stations. A recent forecast predicts that the volume of freight moved in Oregon will nearly double by 2035. This increase will be the result of growth in population and global trade. Trucking currently handles the majority of freight moved. Some shippers may find opportunities for expansion and shifts to other modes of transportation. The other modes currently used to ship freight include railroads, marine ships and barges, aircraft, and pipelines. Some freight is moved by other modes of transportation. Maximizing freight mobility and optimizing the use of all modes will be critical to continuing economic prosperity in Oregon, the Pacific Northwest and the nation. Freight planning staff implements the Oregon Freight Plan and supports the Oregon Freight Advisory Committee. Other primary unit responsibilities include administering the ConnectOregon program and preserving the carrying capacity of freight routes under the Oregon Administrative Rule 731-012-0010 (Reduction of Vehicle-Carrying Capacity).

Here's a question for the paint gurus.
Problem with the belly armour paint,
Got a severe paint reaction where the yellow coat would crazy crack within minutes of application.
Now this is only happening on the belly plate, so what is the problem and solution?
After a complete sand back to gelcoat I prep wash then undercoat/primer,
then prep wash then silver, no reaction so far, then prep wash then yellow, then crazy crack.
I have used this method on all my armour so far and this is the only piece that has this reaction, I am using the same paints. this is the third go and I have nearly stripped back the gelcoat with all the sanding
Any ideas?

Is there a definitive pattern for the shin tool pockets?
Is there a definitive pattern for the shin tool pockets?
Here is what im using. Cant remember where I got it but I also got a jet pack harness blueprint, and one for the chest armor.
Thanks, I needed those as well, but did they have the pockets for the shin tools as well?
anyone have any idea as to the size???
I had bought a life size standup and had my mom use that as a base pattern. She used a ruler and measured it and then fudged a little to make up for the size diffrence since i am only 5'9". It turned out fine and since i already had the tools that helped agreat deal also.
You have any pics? What are the dimensions on the stand up?
I have heard that one of the patterns that is floating around is too small to accommodate the tools. I would lay out the tools on the material, then just study a pic to get it close. At least the tools will fit!
you can find thats blueprints on my site http://secolfett.cjb.net
I just measured mina and it came out like this- bottom is 4 1/8" the top is 4 3/4" and the sides are 6 1/4". This does not take into account for the part that gets folded under to be sewn. As for the pocket seperation for the tools I just put them in and had her sew it so they would fit comfortably.

text: "Of the five known candidates for job, sources say that former Pistons assistant Mike Woodson is still the closest thing to a favorite, thanks largely to Woodson's good working relationship with Pistons president of basketball operations Joe Dumars.." We've been down this road before. This is exactly why I do not want Woodson. I don't trust Dumard's judgment on this. His "good working relationship" with players and coaches has blanked the Pistons in the blank every single time. Keep Dumard's around for a year or two to pick his brain on league operations and offer a smooth transition. Then kick his sorry butt to the curb and hire a real G.M. Meanwhile, minimize any further damage he can cause to the organization. Prevent him from picking the coach. Frank sounds like a good choice (since Laimbeer will never get a shot).

713-213-4286 firstname.lastname@example.com
Melisa Ramos Palermo says it was getting her 2007 bachelor's in liberal arts with a concentration in art history and theology at University of St. Thomas that gave her the confidence to pursue her doctorate at Rice University. There, she made headlines in her field after identifying a previously unattributed 16th century manuscript.
The assignment was to explain how the manuscript was a reflection of multiculturalism. But the observant Palermo also put together some clues, recognizing the style of Spanish painter Pedro de Palma. In doing so, she proved herself a natural detective.
"It was exciting," Palermo said.
The granddaughter of migrant workers from Mexico, this shy young woman who describes herself as a perfectionist and an introvert is blazing a new path to the highest of educations within her family. She plans to complete her art history doctorate in the spring of 2014 and teach at the university level.
Palermo's grandfather always encouraged her to keep going, and her UST experience convinced her that she could do it.
"The classes I took at UST were harder than what I had encountered before," she said. "Expectations were higher, and that really helped me out because I had to go to another level. I struggled at first, but the challenge was exciting."
Before UST, Palermo never thought about a master's, much less a Ph.D.
"It gave me confidence and showed me what I was capable of doing," she said.
It also was at UST that Palermo's interest in art history grew—where she combined her heart for God with her fondness for drawing and painting.
"I really enjoyed my theology classes," Palermo said. "It was awesome to learn history and art together. The art helps me in my prayer. That's what it was created to do, to help us meditate on the mystery of the faith."
Listening to the soft-spoken, baroque-loving art historian, one understands why she pursues her field with such enjoyment.
"It's because of a feeling that I get," Palermo explained. "Some of the images, especially when the saints encounter God, stir my heart. They just capture my imagination."

Hello Lucy,
Its nice to make your acquaintance. I'm a beginning EFL Teacher in South America (When I say "Beginner" I mean no more than 2 months of teaching with no prior teaching experience). I currently have 1 student; a 26 year old male. Thursday I (plan to) start with another student a 27-29 year old female (age uncertain at this point); I interviewed her yesterday to determine what level of English she is at. She knows quite a bit of vocabulary: Numbers, Colors, Animals, etc.
Both adults have a good handle on pronunciation and appear to have a lot of potential. *I'm such an idiot, I didn't think to test her skill on the alphabet, and the sound that each letter makes individually vs. added to words.*
My question for you is: When conjugating (for example) "To Be" in simple present tense, why do we conjugate 3rd person singular to "is"?
I was sitting here, writing up a lesson for class, involving the verb "To Be" with its simple present tense conjugations, when that question popped in to my brain. Then my next thought was "How am I going to explain WHY we conjugate to "is" as it does not sound similar to am/are?" "Do I answer that I don't know, but this is the way it is?" Now, mind you this is one of those "WHAT IF" scenarios - If they ask me why, then ...
Also, my 26 year old student started out with such enthusiasm about learning, but the last 2 weeks he seems a bit cool about things; he starts to doodle on his lesson pages. Do you have any suggestions how I can find out if it's something that I am or am not doing, or that he's just over-worked with his full-time job? My worry is that its me, that I'm not being a very good teacher. The last thing I want to do is to let them down and since I have no experience at this, then I don't really feel qualified to teach.
I would appreciate your input on the matter, and I want to thank you in advance for taking the time to read my post.
Btw, I saw your e-book listed in a previous post on the main forum, and as soon as I am able, I would like to order it; sounds like it's exactly what I need.

Well, this project has just become a reality. Thanks to Art for supplying the scopes and Marcelo for supplying the MG-15, we are now in production of the hyperfirm MG-15s. Take a look at the progress and final assembled blaster. We still need to attach the braided cables and insert the laser cut lenses for the scopes but we are very proud of this weapon.
The first hyperfirm rubber casting of the MG-15 base weapon. The writing on the cannister is not there on the official production models. We laser etched the cannister for our friend Marcelo for allowing us to take over this project.
The waterjet armatures for the front scope. We had to waterjet armatures from aluminum to embed into the front scope to keep the mounting rigid. We machined, threaded and welded each steel riser for the front scope to maintain the proper screen accurate look of the blaster.

I've always been a big fan of the prefold, but now that my son is more active I love the little snap to keep in insert in place. And still as absorbent as the original prefold. Thank you!

Arsenal may never have beaten Milan but the memories of an outstanding win at the San Siro can spur them on tonight, according to Arsène Wenger.
In November 2003, the Frenchman took his side to Italy to take on Inter. They had been hammered 3-0 by the same side at Highbury in the opening group game and qualification hung in the balance. Patrick Vieira was absent so Edu and Ray Parlour filled the midfield roles. Pascal Cygan was paired with Sol Campbell in central defence with Kolo Toure employed as a makeshift right back.
Thierry Henry put them ahead but Christian Vieri quickly equalised. Freddie Ljungberg restored the advantage just after the interval then Henry, Edu and Robert Pires added goals in the final five minutes to complete a famous victory. Only the 1-0 wins at Juventus in 1980 and Real Madrid in 2006 can really rival that night as Arsenal's best away win in Europe. Wenger intends to use it as his template against Milan this evening.
"It is a big inspiration," he said at his pre-match press conference at the San Siro.
"We came here in a desperate situation and had to make a big score - and we made it. I believe we are highly focused again for this game and the team spirit is very high. We are confident and up for it."
Perhaps they should be because although Milan have never lost to English opposition in the San Siro, Arsenal have won all four of their European knockout ties against Italian opposition.
"I do not prefer to play Italian sides more than others," remarked Wenger. "At the time we were playing Italian teams, we also had a good team. That explains the results more than the nationality."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

By Max Daurora
There are two things every American knows about football: Brazil is really good and Pelé is the equivalent of Michael Jordan. Too few Americans are lucky enough to have their preconceived notions overcome when it comes to the world's game. What's seen by many Americans as a foreign, slow, and boring sport worthy of mass consumption only by 5-10 year-olds, is what the rest of the world knows as the beautiful game. It is a testament to the power of the game that it managed to hook me in at a time when I was like the majority of America: uneducated and unlucky.
My luck changed in 2005, oddly enough, thanks to Liverpool. While Liverpool is a historic rival, I will always dislike them a little less than I probably should because they helped lead me to Arsenal. It was Liverpool's amazing run to win the 2004-2005 Champions League final that exposed me to the thrill and drama I had previously thought impossible in football.
On a normal midweek afternoon – normally the anticlimax of the weekly TV lineup – I perused the channel guide with no success. In typical male fashion, I decided it better to watch some sort of sport than nothing at all. I settled on watching a football match between Liverpool and what I now know to be Bayer Leverkusen. To my amazement, there were four goals in that game, a 3-1 thrashing for Liverpool. My preconceptions were beginning to be lifted, and after seeing Liverpool's astonishing heroics in Istanbul, I fully understood that football is not a sport just for small American children.
With my attention no longer in doubt, football sought to pull me in for good. My family on my mum's side has French roots. Of the little knowledge I had about football world superstars, I knew Thierry Henry was French and he was absolutely brilliant. I decided to buy FIFA 06 to get to know the teams and players better, and I started playing with Henry and Arsenal right away. His dominance in the game was so unfair that I doubted he could actually be that good in real life.
Then I saw the Arsenal on TV for the first time. Unfortunately, Arsenal's historic Champions League victory against Real Madrid at the Bernabéu wasn't televised. So, my first game was the quarterfinal tie against Juventus.
After fifteen minutes I was hooked. The combined flair and pace of the Arsenal attack was enthralling, every touch of the ball exquisite. Then there was Henry. His pace, electric; his vision, jaw dropping; and his grace, it was art. Watching Arsenal, especially Henry, gave me the appreciation that every touch in football can be breathtaking in its own way. You don't need a home run or a touchdown every couple of minutes when you can appreciate the skill of a deft touch, or the brilliance of a killer ball. And so, football and Arsenal were now soundly part of my sporting universe.
My five previous seasons as an Arsenal supporter have brought me the ups and downs of beautiful football and cup final heartbreak. But, through it all, my love for this football club grew to a point that I assumed could not be surpassed. That has changed this year. I am currently living in Lille, France, studying abroad from Penn State University for six months.
Pragmatically, coming to Europe to study was a great opportunity for me to enhance my education. Realistically, it was the perfect opportunity to be fully immersed in the promise land of every American footy fan. This is no better illustrated than when entering a bar and seeing football on the television, walking by a newsstand and seeing football on the front pages, or passing by a store and seeing football apparel in the shop window.
|Max in the Club's press room
Of course, I am not in England. But Arsenal is a manageable, yet excruciatingly close, one-and-a-half hour train ride away. My main goal while in Europe is to see as many Arsenal games as possible, but with such a strong French influence at the Emirates, I thought it would be interesting to see how Arsenal is viewed in the land of wine and cheese.
You can generally gauge how popular a football club is among French youth (13-18 years-old) by comparing the club crests on the track suits that are worn so abundantly here. Naturally, you see the two biggest French clubs, Marseille and Lyon, worn rather frequently. You also see a lot of AC Milan and Real Madrid. But, among the English teams, I have been surprised to pass by more Chelsea track suits than any other. I do see the occasional Arsenal track suit, but I tend to think Chelsea is more popular at the moment among youths because our last trophy was when many of these kids were pretty young.
Conversely, you get an accurate idea of how English football is perceived among adults when entering a local pub. The best football pubs I've come across in Lille show Premier League matches regularly – especially Arsenal. Many of the French football fans I have met support both a Ligue 1 club and a foreign club, usually an English one.
Unsurprisingly, Ligue 1 rules the roost here especially with the local team, Lille OSC, currently mounting a serious charge for their first title in over 50 years. But, exposure to English football remains high, with frequent comparisons made between Lille's sleek passing attack and that of Arsenal.
The French pride themselves on their ability to appreciate beauty. Whether it is their language, architecture, or their food, the French appreciate the arts of life. This is no different when it comes to football. The Premier League is admired for its relentless intensity, punishing physicality, and never-ending drama. Arsenal is seen as the Eiffel Tower of the Premier League. With its aesthetic beauty standing out among the bustle of the world in which it's surrounded, it serves as a sanctuary from the frenetic pace of English football.
The Premier League is far and away the most popular foreign league in France. More often than not, stories relating to Arsenal take precedence over other foreign clubs in l'Équipe or on the various football shows. With England widely regarded here as having the best league in the world, the French footballing culture takes pride in having had such a strong influence on one of England's greatest clubs.
Despite my welcomed appreciation of Arsenal by those in France, my most important footballing experience so far in Europe was when I attended my first game in February against Wolves. There are certain things every person sets out to experience at some point in their life. Sometimes, these experiences do not live up to expectations and disappoint us. Other times, our greatest ambitions reward us in the most spectacular way by delivering every emotion we had hoped to experience when dreaming of these perfect moments. My first match at the Emirates provided me with the latter. I was so overwhelmed at experiencing a dream come true that my confused facial expressions in the majority of my pictures may lead one to think something was wrong with me.
The only confusion was in how to best deal with such intense emotions of joy, satisfaction, and disbelief at the same time. A well-played match won by a clinical Robin van Persie brace was supplemented a day later with an Emirates Stadium tour that did not serve to ease my astonishment in any way.
My Arsenal adventures in Europe have only just begun with three more matches planned for the semester (including a trip to London on my birthday to see Arsenal v. Blackburn), but the experiences I've already had would be enough to last me a lifetime.

I think a lot of us would be very interested in hearing how you do the procedure and the equipment you use. The details no matter how loing winded are probably very needed and helpful. So if you can share the details I would be interested to read them.
I inseminate approximately 250-300 queens per year.


text: Have you watched them play? Bennett is in no way what so ever a SF, he's an undersized PF. Muhammad is a SG all day long, he won't be able to defend SF's in the league or rebound effectively. It's a weak draft for SF's and Porter is really the only true SF worth drafting in the lottery or even 1st round this year.

Discussion in 'January 2012' started by roscoe36, Jan 7, 2012.
7:30 PM EST TV: FS Detroit / NBA league Pass Radio: 97.1 The Ticket
Dallas by 11.............
This could sway some votes. http://www.mlive.com/pistons/index.ssf/2012/01/rapper_rob_base_tapped_for_pis.html
JJ against the defending Finals MVP. This will be a non-contest. Dirk may just sit out the entire second half.
If Dirk sit out the second half will be because of foul trouble. Anyway, Dallas by 12. And I might predict too that Monroe will have a great night scoring. More than 20 points.
Joe needs to sign Walt Herrmann to a 10-day.
He could really play Dirk in his heyday............
I'm not sure why, but I'm sort of feeling a Piston win tonight. I'm also sensing there might be some weird/awkward dance between Charles G and Austin Daye during the Rob Base performance.
Can you get a ticket to the halftime-show only?
I changed my mind. Dirk 1.0 vs Dirk 2.0. Dirk 2.0 prevails tonight.
Pistons have lost 4 in a row by at least 16 points. I guess we now measure progress by seeing how many single digit losses they can string together.... .............before they get blown out again.
Prince: -29 in 22 minutes. 2 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists, 0 steals, 0 blocks, 0 fouls, 1 turnover. Some strong leadership from our vet. Will Bynum: +6 in 25 minutes. 20 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal. Anybody know if Stuckey's groin and Chillanueva's ankle are really sore? Maybe Joe has a crazy trade package brewing where he's going to make another GM look foolish?
Story of the game : Turnovers..The Pistons had 20 of them most from lazy passes that the Mavs picked off at will, and the Mavs seemed to turn everyone of them into points....especially in the first half. We had more turnovers than assists (17). Brandon Knight was the big culprit with 6 of them. He had only 2 assists for the Pistons, but believe me assisted on at least 12-15 points for the Mavs. Give him credit for hitting all 4 of his treys. He will improve with play. Vernon Macklin looked good in garbage time with a block and two steals. I would try out there in a place of Ben/Max and see if he can learn on the run. What else have we got to lose? JJ trying to guard Dirk worked in 2009 and almost worked tonight but he got 2 quick fouls and we had to see Max log 28 mins . Daye returned to try to help Knight with the offense in the 4th, but was still rusty on his shot, but took it to the hoop and was able to get some points from the line. Will Bynun finished on a spurt as he and Macklin scored the Pistons last 8 points to avoid the Pistons losing their 5th straight game by 16 of more points. Larry Frank looks frustrated out there.....but we know he has been through this before.....so remind me why he was chosen over Laimbeer again?
Five in a row. They just got hammered by Dallas. Brandon with six! turnovers in 36 minutes, 3 of which were in the first quarter. Everyone who played had turnovers, Big Ben and Macklin aside. No one is going to win while committing 20 turnovers, especially a team as lacking in talent and depth as this one. The Good: Greg's still good on offense, though it's notable that he went scoreless in the first half. He really, really needs help inside. Make it happen Stern! Knight's got his shot back. Daye looks a little better. Needs a lot more work on his decision-making (had 3 turnovers today, second most on the team in only 17 minutes) Bad: Will Bynum scored 20 points in 25 minutes...taking 14 shots. Most on the team. In 10 less minutes than Brandon Knight. For reference, Knight - 9 FGA, Monroe and JJ - 6 FGA each, BG with 7. Daye still can't buy a shot. Lawrence Frank insists on playing Brandon at the 2 alongside Will Ballhog. That's not going to accomplish anything. Again, 3 on 3 fast break with 2 big guys, one of whom is Greg Monroe, and WB never even looks at him. He just barges in there and takes a wild shot. Tayshaun takes an eternity to decide what to do. I counted at least 5 times when he'd stop for a sec like he was shot with a freeze gun then jack up an out of rhythm shot with 3 seconds left on the shot clock. Yeah, great leadership there. Daye has picked up this habit. The defense was pretty much nonexistent all game. Mavs were getting open jumpers or layups all night.
By the way, Brian Cardinal was -28 for the Mavs in their 14 points win. He played 20 minutes and had 1 point. So, for 20 minutes out of 48, we were up 28 points on these guys. For the other 28 minutes, I guess that means we were down 42. And when you look at Dirk's +/-, you can see it. He was +42 in 28 minutes. Cardinal must have subbed in for him, eh? That's one of the most extreme +/- stats I've ever seen, and it was in very limited minutes for Dirk. He might be good at his job.
I have a hard time giving Will any credit when he so consistently waits until garbage time to "turn it on". The crazy part about all of the turnovers is that they aren't even on fancy plays. It's just passing around the perimeter or into the post. The inability to pass into the post really killed Greg's game tonight.
I agree. The offense is just plain sloppy, with absolutely no cohesion at either end. Bynum is a 7th-8th man at best. They also take forever to get into their sets. More often than not, Knight would jog up the floor and it would take 3-4 more seconds before anyone even starts moving. I feel like I'm watching the same set play over and over. Like groundhog basketball day or something. I believe that's partly why passes get picked off so easily, the other team can read the play way too easily and just anticipate the pass. I saw Jason Terry do exactly that from the get go tonight. It's where 2-3 of Knight's TOs came from.
I see the games on TV, but thats it..I don't see the post game interviews with the coach or players. What are they saying? What does Larry say? This team is last in offensive structure and I pretty sure in the bottom five in fundamentals. Only Stuckey and Bynum have the balz to attack the rim, but in most instances they forget they have teammates. Everyone else is tentative and all of the excessive dribbling and passing around the perimeter is leading to TO's and rush shot selection with less than 3 seconds left on the 24 sec clock. They tend to get their turnovers in bunches and seem to always come out not focused which leads to scoring droughts that allow the opponents to stretch out leads that are impossible to overcome, no matter how much time is left in the game.... Looks like they are on pace to win 12 games, so at least we may have a shot at one of the first three draft picks.
I just showed Bynum to highlight the crap that Tay is pumping out. He just signed an extension that few thought he should get and this is the effort that he comes with? Bynum's effort and passion is 5 times that of Tay, which his physical gifts are just a fraction of Tay's. Bynum is doing everything he can out there and is limited by being 5'10 abouts. Tay can take one dribble from the arc and dunk it. He's just having a disaster year so far when he should have come out blazing. Tay should have made this his team since he chose to stick around this situation. He's waiting for it to become Knight's team or Monroe's team it looks like.
tough to watch this team right now...not much else to say about this one
Separate names with a comma.

looking good! as was commented above, the shoulder studs are in the wrong place, but otherwise it's nice. great job on the paint! i love seeing when people use what's available to get the job done rather than hunting the exact paints... i think it's more fun that way :)
Great job on the painting and weathering.:thumbsup Have you already painted your helmet? If not, I'd suggest you do just so the armor colors and weathering match that of the helmet. If you have already painted it, would you mind shwoing some pics of that? By the way, which Fett version are you doing :fettpre:fettesb:fettrotj?
thankss so much!......you mean something like that?

That looks wicked awesome!! Very nice armor and blaster! Are the shoulder bells in the second pic more accurate to the color they actually are? Because they look pretty accurate there, as opposed to the really yellow they look in the first pic. Nice job!
thanks MandoMan!!, yes, this is the color that they look.......they come out from a pvc pipe, and I really happy how they come out.........
in this days, I will add the decals, and start with the knees.........
Woah, those shoulders were made from pvc pipe?! :eek That's amazing! I never thought that would turn out well, but you've proved me wrong! I can't wait to see the decals and knee progress!
yes, Mando, I use a hot-gun to re-shape them and make them more flat.. and I guess that it could be usefull to make the knees and the gauntlets(I have allready make the half of one, and I think they could look good, too) let´s see how they end........
Wow, for trash armor that looks great.
thanks Donnie!
ok, as I say, pvc works...........here the prouf!!!

Hawaii Regional Cuisine on Maui
In 1991, 12 Hawaii chefs established Hawaii Regional Cuisine, a culinary movement that inventively blends Hawaii's diverse, ethnic flavors with the cuisine of the world.
One of the main tenets of Hawaii Regional Cuisine is to take advantage of the freshest island ingredients: cattle raised on the islands' upland pastures, fruits and vegetables grown from volcanic soil, and fish from one of the best managed fisheries around. The fertile fields of Kula in Upcountry Maui are a major source of fresh produce and citrus in the islands. The Maui onion, famous for its sweet taste, is a result of the rich volcanic soil and cool climate on the slopes of Haleakala.
Three of the original chefs behind the Hawaii Regional Cuisine movement have restaurants in Maui: Beverly Gannon (Haliimaile General Store, Joe's), Mark Ellman (Mala Ocean Tavern, Mala Wailea) and Peter Merriman (Hula Grill, Merriman's Kapalua). Other fine restaurants in the resort areas of Kapalua, Kaanapali, Lahaina, Kihei and Wailea feature the unique flavors of Hawaii Regional Cuisine.

First of all, Mods, if you think this thread should be elsewhere, feel free to move it. It didn't seem to fit in any particular catagory.
Anyway, here's something I did shortly after Cellebration II. I didn't post it then, because I wasn't sure it would be well recieved. Recently, word of it's existance leaked out, and I've had some requests for pics. So, without further delay, here's my "vision" for a female mandalorian helmet.
I went for a sleeker, more feminine look, that sill had an elemet of badness. I'm still not sure if I like the peak in the center ov the visor, though. Thanks for looking.

Was a great place to stay at. Was a bit difficult to find it at first, because we've got no number for the office, but the place was great and clean, and the staff really helpful
Location of the apartment block is very accessible, it's in the alleys opposite Sogo Fuxing, the building adjacent to this Japanese restaurant. In any case, customer service is prompt and there should be little issue in getting someone to guide you to the apartment.
We stayed on the 16th floor, view was much better than expected, clear view of the 101 tower.
Size of room just right for the four of us, and it's great to have basic amenities like the kettle, hairdryer, hangers etc. In room wifi works well too.Toilet was small but clean.
One small comment, the washing machine drying function does not work, so you may have to air dry your clothes in the room while out.

Bert Hinkler
26/08/2012 , 12:49 PM by Ashley Walsh
Bert Hinkler was one of Australia's true aviation pioneers.
Growing up in Bundaberg he was fascinated by flight from an early age and even had his own set of home-made wings.
As a teenager he built his own glider but it wasn't until World War I that Bert Hinkler finally took to the skies as a pilot.
In 1928 his solo flight from England to Australia was described as the greatest flight ever made.
Sadly it was on another flight in 1933 that Bert's plane fell out of the sky and onto an Italian mountain.
Award winning writer Grantlee Kieza has told the story of Bert Hinkler in a new book published by ABC Books.
He joined Ashley Walsh on 891 Weekends.
