All you people wanted ramyb to get rid of his turtles. Then he kills them for you, and is met only with opposition! The mixed messages here are frightening.

I think the thing that made the immediate connection was the floating stroke, the outline around the entire piece. The fact that its a stylized, swirly tree with a transition of colors, does have some influence, but adding the floating outline is what made it seem too close for comfort for me.... if that makes sense.
I get what you mean. I havent been around long enough to see the "ramyb effect". I was just glad to see a departure form the turtles.

Re: Smart Kid's Revenge!
Thanks for the positive comments. :-)
I honestly don't see why people hate on ramy all the time. Yeah, the guy seems to like designs w/ turtles and other "cutsy" depictions, but the fact that his shirts repeatedly make it to the fog and often print says something about the people who buy shirt woots.
And even if you don't necessarily think his designs are incredibly creative or as imaginative as some other designs, the guy makes an attractive t-shirt. I can't tell you how many times I've been really disappointed by some of the shirts that have won. NOT because they are poor designs or ugly, but because they don't look good on a t-shirt. Things like designs of phoenixes and stuff like that makes crappy shirts. Even if they are very well illustrated, they look about as attractive printed on a shirt as Wolf shirts do (though the people who flame and troll him all the time probably really like wolf shirts).
I've purchased several woot shirts because I thought the design was beautiful or cool or whatever, but have been severely disappointed because they look crappy on a shirt. A poster or desktop background might be cool, but not to wear around.
I don't understand why people feel the need to always put down ramy's work and try to nit-pick every design and insist it gets rejected. So you don't like it. Apparently lots of other people do and would be willing to buy it, and that's all shirt.woot really cares about to be honest. Ramy has found his niche and he makes designs accordingly. You can't get mad at him for sticking to his style, because EVERY woot shirt designer has a style that you can spot almost immediately.
I think everyone needs to stop taking a Jatravartid t-shirt design so seriously and just chillax and stop flaming every design ramy makes. He wouldn't make them if people didn't like and buy his shirts.

Gilford to spend conservation trust funds for land purchase
By DAN SEUFERT
Union Leader Correspondent | August 29. 2013 10:14PM
The board approved the conservation commission's request Tuesday night to spend $110,000 from land-use change funds toward the total cost of $210,000 of what is known as the Gage parcel, a 327-acre area in Moulton Valley on the slope of Piper Mountain, according to the commission's Everett McLaughlin.
It has taken commission officials a decade to get the owners to agree to sell the property, he said.
"We've been chasing that land for 10 years, but it's been worth the wait," he said. "That land is beautiful."
Mount Major is on the eastern end of the Belknap Range.
The state owns the Route 11 parking area and the summit, which are part of the 60-acre Mount Major State Forest. But the four parcels of land in between are privately owned.
The groups, working with the Belknap Range Conservation Coalition, are working together to preserve the rest of the Belknap Range's views, recreational opportunities and wildlife habitats for present and future generations.
If the groups can raise the money and buy them, all four properties are kept open to the public for hiking, hunting, snowmobiling and other recreational activities, McLaughlin said.

BANGKOK -- When Thailand's Public Health Minister greeted dignitaries from Nagaland, located in the northeastern part of India, he offered up an unusual gift. Minister Witthaya Buranasiri's gift of a condom vending machine might have normally raised diplomatic eyebrows, except for the fact that the delegation, which made the visit in August, was part of the Nagaland's Legislative Forum on AIDS.
"The objective of the visit was to meet with the Thai health minister to discuss Thailand's success with condom promotion in Thailand and coordination amongst NGOs, law-enforcing agencies, to tackle the prevalence of HIV/AIDS," said Nagaland Health Minister Kuzholuzo Nienu.
Officials in both Thailand and India have taken aggressive steps to stem occurrences of HIV and AIDS in their countries, where the virus and the disease it causes are considered to be epidemics. India has increasingly relied on condom venders in a joint effort that combines public sector support and private entrepreneurship.

|the 700R4 is tricky if fluid isnt correct by either being too low on fluid or the TV cable on the carb make sure there isnt any slack in it at WOT.
700R4 Question
I've got two vehicles that have the same issue. Both are 4x4's.
One is a '89 model the other a 88 model. Both trans have been overhauled in the past however I am unsure of when. The issue is when you start it, put it in gear and place it in the OD position, normally it would start out in 1st and so on. What both of these are doing is acting like they are going into OD, as you can give it a little pedal and it won't move. You can feel it trying to somewhat. However If I pull the shifter into 3rd, or the standard drive position and it goes into 1st gear like it's supposed to. Then I just move it up to the OD position and it stays in 1st gear and shifts out just like normal. OD seems fine going down the road as well. When I pull up to a stop sign, it goes back down to 1st gear as usual and shifts out fine again. But if I park it, shut it down, then get back in it and go 5 minutes later, again I have to repeat the process of pulling it back down to 3rd again to make it operate correctly. Any help on the subject is much appreciated.

User:Zzo38/Proposal for instance disambiguation
From HaskellWiki
This document has some of my ideas about instance disambiguations and related things how it could be implemented in Haskell. There may be some mistake, so it is good for other people complain what is wrong so that it can be corrected.
1 Select instances from imported modules
import A () instance (); import B class (AAA as ZZZ qualified as HHH); import C hiding instance (Num String, Num Bool); import D type (T as TT, U as newtype UU);
From module A imports nothing not even instances. From module B imports instances of class AAA to be instances of class ZZZ instead, where all its methods are prefixed with "HHH." at the front. From module C, does not import instances of Num class for type String (this is only valid if type synonym instances is enabled, and means the same thing here) and Bool. From module D, the type named T is named TT when imported, for all functions using it, all instances, etc. If T is a type from a different module, then all function and instance from D using type T will make a new type TT instead. Instances for the type U are instead for a new type UU which is U wrapped in a newtype.
2 Override instances
import E hiding module C;
This hides instances in C which conflict with those of E, and hides names (except qualified)
instance Num Int where { x + y = 42; };
This, defined in a module, automatically overrides instances from imported modules.
instance (instance IsString [Char] hiding) => IsString [x];
It means that this is instance for any list but if there is instance for strings, that one will override this one.
instance Num x => Monoid (x as newtype (Sum x)) where { mempty = 0; mappend = (+); };
Allows you to define newtype as part of an instance declaration, doing wrapping and unwrapping automatically.
3 Instance with imported modules
In general, you override instance, it doesn't affect functions from imported modules that use their own instances internally. However, there is some cases of overriding (this example requires scoped type variables):
module Example where { value1 :: Int; value1 = 2 + 3; value2 :: (Num x, x ~ Int) => x; value2 = ((+) :: x -> x -> x) 2 3; } module Main where { import Example; instance Num Int where { _ + _ = 42; }; main = print (value1, value2); }
The result will be:
(5, 42)

AMES, Iowa – The 4-H camp, sports camp and music camp brochures are arriving and the kids are begging for a summer adventure. But other than fun, is there any value to camp? During May, family life specialists examine the research and discuss how to help children choose an appropriate camp in the Science of Parenting blog from Iowa State University Extension and Outreach.
"According to the American Camping Association, more than 8 million kids attend summer camp every year. So obviously camps are an attractive summer activity for many families," said family life specialist Donna Donald. "We'll take a look at some research on whether camp experiences can contribute to the healthy development of young people."
Added family life specialist Lori Hayungs, "We'll also talk about practical matters, such as whether camp fits a family's budget and schedule, and how to handle homesick kids."
Learn more from tips on the blog throughout the month and in a four-minute podcast. Through the Science of Parenting, www.scienceofparenting.org, ISU Extension and Outreach specialists share and discuss research-based information and resources to help parents rear their children. Parents can join in the conversation and share thoughts and experiences, as well as how they handle parenting responsibilities.

Temperature seems to have more of an impact on Varroa reproduction than most people thought. While 95ºF is "brood nest temperature," that temperaturefluctuates some with climatic conditions. By carefully controlling temperature, Varroa were found to reproduce best at 93ºF. Performance was a bit worse at 88-91 and 95º. At the lower than brood nest temperatures, the post-capping period is extended about one day per 2ºF. At higher temperatures the post-capping period is not shortened significantly. However, at "brood nest" and higher temperatures, mite reproduction drops way off. In the same study it was shown that 53% of the mites on brood held at 59-68% RH (normal) reproduced normally but at humilities of 79-85% only 2% of the mites reproduced. Hot, humid brood nests are tough on Varroa. Studies of Apis cerana brood nests showed drone brood is reared at 92ºF (perfect for Varroa) and worker brood is incubated at 96-98ºF (too hot for Varroa). Purposely cooling the brood nest in Apis mellifera colonies by using a "thin" hive lid, open bottom board, simulative feeding to spread brood out, and splitting the brood nest with frames of foundation doubled the numbers of mites on the bees.
The antivarroa bottom board must never be used with its bottom hole opened as this leads to a lowering of cluster temperature resulting in ideal conditions for varroa development. As confirmed in 2000, this situation not only negated the beneficial effects of the bottom board, it also resulted in a net increase in the mite infestation rate (29.2% more varroa mites, non significant) as compared to the control group.
Great news but THINK .
are you going to put heaters under the hives at night to keep varoa mites down ???
Bees dont like 95 thats why they keep brood temp down , and bees bussy fanning are not cleaning the hive .
I will use the SBB in my area becouse it works for me .Everything that smells roses isn't . :)
In my locations moisture is a serious concern (well actually it isn't because my hives have such good ventilation with the SBB). I don't like dampness in my hives, it leaves too much opportunity to harbor disease and pests. I have not had dampness issues like caulk/stone brood as other local beekeepers have experienced and a significant difference is that I run all SBB, he does not.
Improving hygienic genetics in one's bee stocks helps greatly in minimizing varroa in the first place. A small level of mites maintains a good genetic 'pressure' to keep mite fighting genes. My heavy mite loads are concentrated in feral swarm colonies or cut-outs, and yet I don't see heavy mite loading as a result of drift.
I see a significant amount of chewed cappings, loose pollen, and other debris that falls through. These are all things that my bees did not have to waste time in house keeping to be rid of. That means the bees were doing something more meaningful - like waving to me as I arrive to inspect their hive. Keep in mind my SBB are custom and span the entire 16x20 area of the box.
Besides, SBB make it easy to smoke a hive before/during inspection.
I think a calculated break in the brood cycle does significantly more to minimize mites then a SBB contributes, but I believe they help.
I am not sold on anyone's temperature theories. I think the thermodynamics of hive are far more complex than most scientists model. I also feel it is far more complex and conditional to other hive conditions (curing honey, pupating brood, fermenting pollen, etc.) than most models could accurately depict (it varies frm hive to hive).
If my bees were suffering from too much ventilation, they would propolize the entrances to compensate. I have to figure that brood temps are acceptable and correct.
Keep in mind that 50% of all satistics can be manipulated 90% of the time to slant towards the results that creates the most controvesy and press (right or wrong).
Or they are burning additional resources maintaining the core brood temperature. B Heinrich determined that even free swarms regulate their core temperature to 35C. It may even be that a large portion of the honey they gorge on before swarming is used for this thermoregulation.

Grip evolution.
Designed for all-mountain and gravity-oriented disciplines, the Ergon GA1 Evo Grips feature a rounder, more traditional profile. The shape is subtler, than Ergon's other grips, yet they still feature a position- and hand-specific design.
For function, the grips have been contoured for easy grasping. And for comfort, Ergon has padded the GA1 Evo grips with a combination of soft rubber and center gel for enhanced damping. Both attributes have been heightened with the GA1's left- and right-specific design, where each grip is contoured to fit the hand that it was designed for. For a simple setup, Ergon marks 'left' and 'right' on each grip, as well as 'up,' so that you know which way to orient the grips. The grips are locked into place via slim, lightweight aluminum clamps at the end of the bars.
The Ergon GA1 Evo Grips are available in the colors Black, Blue, Green, Red, and White. Please note that they are not designed to work with twist shifters, and that any customizing of the grip will invalidate the warranty.

Get a grip ! (from Ergon)
These are wonderful - comfortable yet not 'sloppy' like the foam ones. They seem to have the right amount of cushion in the right place, yet I feel 'connected' to the bike under all circumstances. I also like the GSI contoured ones, have them on another bike. But I think these are preferred as they are a bit slimmer in the palms.
Good Grip
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
The shape of the grip is not so obtrusive that there is only one to grab it. The feel of the handle is very nice, soft but not mushy. I have only used them for about a month, so can't speak to durability.
Excellent on the hands
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Do your hands go numb while shredding hard on your mountain bike? Do they go numb while riding around the neighborhood with the kids? If so, I highly recommend checking out a pair of these grips. These grips are pretty sweet, especially on longer rides or in rough technical descents. They are ergonomic on the hands and provide a lot of support as well. They aren't TOO big on the hands especially if you have smaller hands like I do, but I think they do make a pair that is a little thicker if you do have big hands. They are a breeze to install, and one bolt on each grip secures the grip to the bar. With a proper tension, you will find that they will stay in place with no slip on carbon or aluminum bars. They last a long time too and can even take a beating or two if you are hard on your bike. Even with just laying the bike down on its side you will start to see some wear, but the grip material is very durable. In the picture are actually the GA2 grips, that have a slightly tackier material and come in a brighter array of colors, but other than that are pretty identical to the GA1
My go to grip...
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've got some version of these on every one of my bikes. I have found these minimize my hand fatigue more than any other grip I've tried and are more comfortable. Ergon used to make them in different sizes and I used to prefer the larger size, so only giving 4 out of 5 stars
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I love the ergonomics of these grips. They feel like an over-the-counter custom grip, where the grip is molded to your hands. However, they are not very durable. I found the outer portion of the grip was almost completely worn down within one season. The question for you is: do you want a superior grip at the cost of paying $25 per season for that benefit. Probably so.
Hey, most Ergons are not recommended for...
Hey, most Ergons are not recommended for Carbon Fiber bars. Does anyone know whether these are safe for install on CF? Thanks!

Update from their site: http://www.ergon-bike.com/us/en/product/ga1evowhite
"The choice of Ergon Factory Riders. One form, 5 colours. Increased damping thanks to use of a new compound. Weight greatly reduced through use of a stable composite clamp. Details: Inner core - Ergon Green (not visible when fitted). Carbon bar compatible."
I do not have an "official" answer for you but I have used these grips with two different carbon bars with no issues whatsoever.
Tried and true
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These are my go to grips, and have been for years (in different versions of course.) Why? They're comfortable as the subtle contour fills the void in your palm. So when you go for epic rides, you suffer less fatigue. Secondly, the end cap is slightly larger than the grip, providing additional leverage to pull against, and a comfortable reminder of the limits of the bar.

At the end of March 2004, davidw pointed out that mono and Gtk# used a lot of memory for simple applications: in his mail he had 42196 KB of VSIZE and 11096 KB of RSS for a button in a window. Of course this was not good and at the time I told him to check again at the time of the mono 1.0 release or thereabouts and indeed we had some improvements: at the beginning of July the numbers were 31776 KB and 9916 KB respectively for VSIZE and RSS. The changes involved both the way Gtk# was built and the way mono loaded metadata information and how that was stored in the runtime data structures.
Today I ran the same test again to see what is the status, since we're going to release mono 1.2 in a few weeks/months. The numbers look better: 18912 KB for VSIZE and 8200 KB for RSS. These numbers are comparable to the existing perl and python bindings (17032/10028 the former, 15092/9164 the latter).
For reference, on my system the equivalent C program gives: 10568 KB for VSIZE and 4728 KB for RSS. The aumount of writable mapped memory is what counts, though, so I got some data about that, too, with a small program looking at /proc/pid/maps. The C program has about 935 KB of writable memory mapped, 290 KB of which is what looks like the relocation overhead in the numerous shared libraries loaded. Since memory is mmapped in page-sized chunks, even if a library has only a couple of relocations, it will make a whole page dirty. Ulrich Drepper has a paper on how to make shared libraries behave better that is a worthy read, but in some cases there isn't much we can do if we want to support plugin-like systems.
A very amusingly sad fact is to be noted about the libgmodule library: this is a very tiny lib (9 KB of text size). So, to be able to share 9 KB of readonly data, we waste 4 KB of writable data. Maybe it makes sense to just include the gmodule code inside the standard libglib library. libdl has a similar issue (7 KB of text, note that the wrapper library is bigger than the wrapped one, sigh): maybe some linker magic could be used to include libdl inside libc, it would increase the size of the latter by just 0.5%.
In the mono/Gtk# case, the writable memory mapped was 4.35 MBs. Of these, 1 MB is the stack setup for the thread that runs the finalizers: hardly a few KBs of this memory is ever touched, so the kernel doesn't actually commit this amount of data. There is another megabyte that consists of shared mappings from files, which is used by the io-layer to implement the win32 handle semantics. Usually, very little of this memory should be actually read or written, so it shouldn't matter much and the io-layer rewrite Dick is working on will hopefully get rid of most of the usage, too. If we subtract the amount of memory used by the C program itself, we get that the memory actually allocated by mono/gtk# is about 1.3 MBs, in the perl and the python case it's about 2.5 MBs. The 1.3 MBs include about 200 KB of GC heap size, 128 KB of memory allocated for the jitted code (of which just 20-30 KB are used) and the memory used by the mono runtime data structures: metadata from the IL images, jit bookkeeping etc. Of course we plan to reduce our memory requirements even further, since this is good both for the people using mono in embedded solutions and for the people using multiple mono desktop applications. Hopefully in another six months time we'll have as good improvements as we had in the last year:-)

Improving cycle time, chip control and tool life can be a challenge during heavy turning of gummy metals. In fact, it is common to sacrifice at least one of these factors, if not two. For instance, cutting deeper improves chip control and speeds up the operation, but it also raises the risk of rupturing the tool at any moment. Cutting shallower may prevent tool rupture, but it also slows down the operation, requires more passes and can create long, stringy chips that are hard to manage.
In the case of AWC Frac Valve, sudden edge failure often prevented the company from manufacturing even a single complete valve piece before its tooling failed. By retooling the application with a new insert from Ingersoll Cutting Tools (Rockford, Ill.), the company tripled the material removal rate and more than doubled tool life while eliminating tool failure.
AWC Frac Valve, a division of Archer Well, manufactures very large valves for the oil and gas industry in its 35-man shop located in Conroe, Texas. The company, running 24/5, uses a Doosan 400LM turning center for heavy-duty turning and facing operations in which a 480-pound billet of gummy 4130 steel is reduced to a 250-pound valve bonnet.
To produce this piece, the company used a conventional CNMG negative-rake tool that rarely lasted through one part. "We had to keep two back-up tools in the turret just to keep things going when one tool popped," says Jim Beaver, AWC's assistant production manager. "Often, the tool would rupture midway through the first piece."
Such short tool life was not an option for Mr. Beaver, who was charged with implementing plant-wide continuous improvement. Instead, he set a new tool-life requirement for the application of at least two pieces per edge. He pointed out the challenge to the company's Ingersoll rep during their regular weekly plant walk-through. The scale of the operation and the cutting forces involved prompted the rep to bring in Eric Strieby, Ingersoll field turning product manager. Under Mr. Strieby's guidance, AWC tested the Ingersoll CNMX Gold Duty indexable coated carbide insert on-site.
"It was like a beta test, but on a commercialized tool," says Kirk Cudd, AWC production manager. "Should the tool break during the test, we wouldn't have to pick up the tab." By contrast, he says, many tool providers offer on-site testing and reduction to price, but only after the customer purchases the tool and pays for any replacements.
CNC lead man Ben Molinar ran the test on live parts through heavy OD roughing, OD finishing and facing on 4130 steel. The results appear in the table below. For comparison, Mr. Beaver tested the latest CNMG inserts from two other providers, but neither could meet the two-pieces-per-edge requirement consistently.
Once the tool proved out operationally at the parameters established in the test, Mr. Beaver did some fine-tuning. He eliminated the two back-up tools from the turret and ramped up the depth of cut to 0.325 inch for turning and 0.225 inch for facing. The inserts now last through at least two parts with no ruptures.
"Now the failure mechanism is gradual wear, not fracture, and the indicator for edge change is simply loss of finish," he says. As a result, tool-related production stoppages disappeared altogether and tool servicing labor costs dropped significantly. For this job alone, Mr. Beaver says the savings associated with the retooling is $75,000 per year.
The Ingersoll CNMX tool's seating scheme enables improved insert geometry—a key factor that helped it succeed in the valve bonnet application. According to Mr. Beaver, "the big, wide front edge really breaks up the chips on a pretty gummy metal." The big chips peel off in easily controlled "six and nine" shapes.
Compared with conventional CNMMs and CNMGs, the new seating arrangement in the CMMX makes it possible to get two sides plus aggressive, positive geometry in the same insert—something never available before, says Ed Woksa, Ingersoll's national turning product manager. "You can cut deeper without overloading the insert and still get the second side."
CNMMs feature a neutral rake with a negative land at the cutting edge for improved strength, chip breaking and chip flow, which enables application of higher feed rates. However, these inserts must be single-sided because positive-rake tools cannot be flipped without damaging the cutting edges with the clamping forces. By contrast, CNMGs that are designed for heavier cuts are two-sided, yet they normally have neutral or slightly positive rakes ranging from 0 to 6 degrees, which raises cutting forces.
Unlike flat insert seats found in conventional toolholders, the Ingersoll CNMX seating scheme is based on four "rest pads" on the insert that mate with dimples in the seat. The cutting edge can be 5-degrees positive, which enables freer cutting, without risk of clamping damage because the rest pads, and not the cutting edges, bear the clamping forces.
"Tooling performance aside, Ingersoll was easier to work with on a very risky operation," Mr. Beaver says. "Besides, we were looking for a tool-life improvement only and wound up with a cycle-time savings as well." Looking ahead, he sees at least ten other heavy-turning jobs in which the new Ingersoll CNMX will likely bring about the same improvements.

Which treatment options are appropriate for your Hodgkin's lymphoma depends on your type and stage of disease, your overall health, and your preferences. The goal of treatment is to destroy as many cancer cells as possible and bring the disease into remission.
Chemotherapy is a drug treatment that uses chemicals to kill lymphoma cells. Chemotherapy drugs travel through your bloodstream and can reach nearly all areas of your body.
Chemotherapy is often combined with radiation therapy in people with early-stage classical type Hodgkin's lymphoma. Radiation therapy is typically done after chemotherapy. In advanced Hodgkin's lymphoma, chemotherapy may be used alone or combined with radiation therapy.
Chemotherapy drugs can be taken in pill form, through a vein in your arm or sometimes both methods of administration are used. Several combinations of chemotherapy drugs are used to treat Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Side effects of chemotherapy depend on the specific drugs you're given. Common side effects include nausea and hair loss. Serious long-term complications can occur, such as heart damage, lung damage, fertility problems and other cancers, such as leukemia.
Radiation therapy uses high-energy beams, such as X-rays, to kill cancer cells. For classical Hodgkin's lymphoma, radiation therapy can be used alone, but it is often used after chemotherapy. People with early-stage lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin's lymphoma typically undergo radiation therapy alone.
During radiation therapy, you lie on a table and a large machine moves around you, directing the energy beams to specific points on your body. Radiation can be aimed at affected lymph nodes and the nearby area of nodes where the disease might progress. The length of radiation treatment varies, depending on the stage of the disease.
Radiation therapy can cause skin redness and hair loss at the site where the radiation is aimed. Many people experience fatigue during radiation therapy. More-serious risks include heart disease, stroke, thyroid problems, infertility and other forms of cancer, such as breast or lung cancer.
A stem cell transplant is a treatment to replace your diseased bone marrow with healthy stem cells that help you grow new bone marrow. A stem cell transplant may be an option if Hodgkin's lymphoma returns despite treatment.
During a stem cell transplant, your own blood stem cells are removed, frozen and stored for later use. Next you receive high-dose chemotherapy and radiation therapy to destroy cancerous cells in your body. Finally your stem cells are thawed and injected into your body through your veins. The stem cells help build healthy bone marrow.

I used to trap shoot every once in a while few years back and kinda never had the chance for a while. went shooting week or so ago and am hooked again. now that i am alittle older and more responsible i want to purchase my own gun. for the time being it will be almost exclusively fro trap shooting. some of my friends that hunt say i should definately get a 3 1/2 inch chambered gun so i can shoot larger loads if i want to hunt turkey. for the mean time until i can shoot consistently it will be only clay shooting. I need advice for first shotgun.
i liek the look and perceived reliablity in an o/u (less stuff to go wrong)
picking o/u pretty much eliminates 3 1/2 inch chamber from what i looked up.
so i dont know there are a few semis i am looking at and possibly a couple over under. let me know what you think please

Hello once again my Fett loving brothers and sisters! As I had so many humbling and positive responses to my ESB paint up thread, the time has come to do a ROTJ paint up so I am detailing it much the same way, in my normal pedantic and long winded way... So please bear with me peeps... Once again, I acquired one of BGHunters brand new casts to paint up. And once again, I cannot speak highly enough about the quality of his work this new cast is absolutely epic, with fine details added in like no other. I will say it again if you are looking for a quality, screen accurate helmet with correct screen non symmetry etc, James is right up there with the very best. I only hope my paint can do his awesome work some justice... So, on to the paint up. I spent a long time colour testing to get what I feel is a really good colour combination, and am using Humbrol, Folquil and Model Master paints. I have taken bits and pieces from lists such as Evan, Spidey, BGHunter and SlavePilot 1, and have also come up with a few of my own mixes for areas like the back panel green. I will document the colours as I update each section. Once again, it is a fully airbrushed job, and fully layered, bar some fine detailing work, which is topical to match the sandy helmet. One last thing I will mention, is that the version I am going for is this time as it appears in the Star Wars the Exhibition and Magic of Myth Exhibits, with a little extra in the damage and marks department. So, with that said, away we go!....

Doral, Fla. • That red shirt is starting to look ruthless on Sunday again.
One year after Tiger Woods hobbled off the Blue Monster, he picked up the pace in his march to the Masters. Woods delivered two quick birdies to take the drama out of Doral, and two late bogeys only made his victory in the Cadillac Championship seem closer than it really was.
Woods had full control of his game and never let anyone get closer than three shots until he had locked up his 17th World Golf Championship title. With a conservative bogey that didn't matter on the final hole, he closed with a 1-under 71.
For the first time in five years, Woods has two victories before the Masters. And both of them were dominant.
"That's how I know I can play," Woods said. "That's the thing. To be able to bring it out a couple times so far this year and then be able to close and get the Ws on top of that that's nice. Any time I can win prior to Augusta, it always feels good."
And to think it was one year ago Sunday that Woods withdrew after 11 holes in the final round at Doral because of tightness in his left Achilles tendon, the same injury that had cost him to sit out most of the previous summer. It created uncertainty about his health and whether he could ever get his game back.
False alarm.
Woods now has five wins in the last year, the most of anyone in the world, and he can return to No. 1 with a win at Bay Hill in two weeks. He won by two shots over Steve Stricker Sunday.
Woods ran into Stricker on the putting green Wednesday afternoon, and in a 45-minute session, Stricker helped him with his posture over putts. Woods left feeling as good as he did at Torrey Pines, where he won by four shots. And it showed. Woods made 27 birdies this week, one short of his personal best on the PGA Tour, and he took the fewest putts (100) over 72 holes in any tour event.
"Thank you to Steve for the putting lesson," Woods said at the trophy presentation. "It was one of those weeks where I felt pretty good about how I was playing, made a few putts and got it rolling."
Stricker, playing a part-time schedule, picked up his second runner-up finish in just three starts. He closed with a 68, and had no regrets about offering Woods some help.
"At times you kick yourself," Stricker said with a laugh. "He's a good friend. We talk a lot about putting. It's good to see him playing well."
Asked if he would have won without that chance meeting with Stricker, Woods hedged a little.
"I would like to say I probably would have, but ..." he said with a smile. "I've been putting at home and it just still hadn't felt right. I still was a little bit off. ... He basically got me in the same position that I was at Torrey. So once he put me in there where I felt comfortable, I said, 'Well, this is not too foreign. This is what I was a month or so ago.' And I started rolling it and it felt really, really good."
The Masters is a month away, and Woods is sure to be the favorite.
"Majors and World Golf Championships are the best because you know you are playing against the best players," Woods said. "That's what makes wins like this special. That's why I love to compete."
Rory McIlroy, the No. 1 player in the world, showed signs of recovering from his rough start to the season. He had a 65 and tied for eighth.
Graeme McDowell, who started the final round four shots behind, made a birdie on the opening hole, but never got any closer. McDowell had third place to himself until he went for the green on the 18th hole and found the water. He made double bogey, shot 72 and fell into a four-way tie for third that cost him $172,500.
Phil Mickelson (71), Sergio Garcia (69) and Adam Scott (64) also tied for third.
Woods improved to 41-2 on the PGA Tour when he had the outright lead going into the final round, the last two wins with McDowell at his side. Woods last won while ahead at Bay Hill a year ago.
"The way Tiger was playing, I was always in chase mode," McDowell said. "He was always going to be a tough guy to catch. Fair play to him. He played fantastic golf the last couple of days."
Woods finished minus 19 at 269 and earned $1.5 million in winning this World Golf Championship for the seventh time.
Puerto Rico Open
Scott Brown went from a one-shot deficit to a one-shot victory in the Puerto Rico Open in Rio Grande when he made a 4-foot birdie putt on the par-5 18th hole to beat Fabian Gomez and capture his first PGA Tour title.
Brown closed with a 2-under 70, his final birdie set up with a 3-iron that he kept low to avoid palm trees and leave himself a 30-yard pitch short of the green.
Brown finished at 20-under 268 to set the tournament record. Leaderboard

Your Ultimate Spring Skirt Guide!
Lorde has got her signature style down — witchy black gowns, long messy curls, and inky lipstick. But as committed to the minimalist-goth look as Lorde is, sometimes she just feels like wearing red, or even a sweet floral dress (It happened. We have photo evidence.). And when she does rock color, the Grammy-winner still looks like the coolest girl at your lunch table. (How, Lorde???) Let's relive 7 times the "Royals" singer didn't wear black.
Yes, army green is kind of a neutral—but a much brighter neutral than the pop star usually wears! Here, Lorde even paired her olive parka with a navy blue shirt! Army green and navy = the hot pink and chartreuse of Lorde's closet.

Re: Ditch bag
Of course there is no one list that works for everyone, nor for every situation equally well. You could be left bobbing in the water with a hull dropping to the bottom in what, 20 seconds? Of course a mortally wounded boat could also linger on the surface for hours first. Then seriously evaluate conditions, the difference between abandoning in calm seas vs. a gale vs. a storm are radically different. Of course very different are also the chances of encountering these coastal cruising vs. offshore cruising.
Let me add another variable. Consider for a moment your boat is sinking, say your instinct is you have 3 minutes, pick the weather. Now the variable I'm adding is someone in your crew (maybe someone you love) has a broken leg, or maybe is unconscious. How many of us have really thought out different, plausible, scenarios like these. Plans of grabbing this or that being nearby and grabbing it will likely never happen. What if you're the one unconscious?
The way I see it, if all plans go to pot, the one thing my crew(family) and I NEED to greatly increase survival is a liferaft. That's #1. So with that in mind, our ocean Winslow is prepackaged with as much survival gear as possible. In the liferaft our job is just to stay alive long enough for someone else to help us. If all we get is ourselves in, we still have everything we need to stay alive, make our presence known, and be visible (water, emergency rations, EPIRB, Flares, smoke, etc.). It also has repair kit, fishing kit, and first aid kit.
When it comes to ditchbags, I almost look at them as a luxury I may be able to grab. If I can, it will increase my resources, but this is still survival mode; not packing for a trip to Gilligan's island. Remove what is not essential. The less you pack, the more buoyant they will remain when you heave it overboard; and the lighter it is the more chances the weakest member of your crew can hurl it into, or near, the liferaft. Don't assume you'll have the luxury of tying your raft so everyone can get supplies and themselves in.
We have two ditchbags, both are in the locker closest to the liferaft, with the thought is that'll be where we are, increasing the chances of grabbing one or both. Both have water, flares, smoke, emergency rations, and glo-sticks. The larger one also has a flashlight, batteries, VHF Radio, sunscreen and a knife. We need to add spare eyeglasses since both of us wear contacts (couple dies at sea, blind f**kers didn't see the plane approaching, never signaled). That's it. I've heard a lot about having cash or a credit card in the bag. I think it makes sense for offshore boats, and I'd add that item to the bag before getting underway. In fact, why not just keep your wallet there while you're out. If we have the luxury, I'd also grab our first aid kit and binoculars from down below. With two ditchbags, I look at it as I've doubled my chances of fishing one out of the water, and could potentially have more supplies.
Another point that needs consideration is how much water, food and flares you need. That is really a calculation of how many souls in your boat multiplied by how many days you could be expect to be at sea before a rescue; again, very different for offshore and coastal cruisers. This was in fact what pushed us into the second ditchbag. Most of the room is really just fresh water (turns out a family of 4 can drink a lot of water in a week). I don't want to bet everyone's survival on a little water maker working and not being dropped in when we need it. We have one (packed in the liferaft), as a long term strategy if the freshwater packets run out, not as a primary source of water.
In summary, it is just my opinion that the best chance is to have a prepackaged liferaft. Of course I wouldn't sail without a properly packed ditchbag onboard, but I won't forget that there are too many variables to overcome to count on it alone. And the boat leaves with whatever the bag needs already in it.
Re: Ditch bag
EPIRB - should have been on the list. Must have missed it during cutting and pasting...
Re: Ditch bag
That's a great list, but no ePIRB on your wish list ... Or is it in there somewhere?

Vick's Vapor Rub
Trash bags, white
Duct tape

Plastic drop cloth
survival rations, 2400kCal
Sewing kit
These are the items to gather and stick in the bags as needs be:
Ship's papers
VHF radio

water, gallons
Cutting board
These are items I'd like to add or at least am considering adding:
Signal Mirror

Re: Ditch bag
Good post. We keep our ditch bag with most of the items before mentioned at the foot of the companionway with the EPIRB above it. We have a fishoing kit in it also. Mmost of our sailing is costal or in the Chesapeake. We also have a few of the high tech foldable blankets in it, hand crank LED small lantern, warmers, and glow sticks for nighttime seeing

Re: Ditch bag
I have a can of inedible French muck... I bought it grocery shopping and then did a Google Translate on its label.
Apart from that I have some water.
Everything else is in its normal stowage area as it gets used on a normal day to day basis.
I reckon it would take me 30 seconds to get all I need to chuck in it.
Certainly if I had a spare $500 I would not be shoving it in the ditch bag. I would be buying $500 worth of safety equipment - another epirb or Sat phone.
Re: Ditch bag
Due to in port theft concerns I would be leery of having a high limit credit card in the bag, but would go to some lengths to have a hand pump r/o watermaker & Epirb there or packed in the raft.
Re: Ditch bag
I don't know what commonly accepted principles are with regards to that, but we put our ditch bag at the foot of our companionway when we were underway. Plus, we had well over $2k worth of gear in it (EPIRB, survival radio, GPS, lots of SOLAS stuff) so having two would have been cost prohibitive for us. We also had a "survival pack" in our liferaft, with most items from there duplicated in the ditch bag. I don't know where I would have staged a second ditch bag on the boat anyway that would have made it both reachable and given us an easy egress. Maybe catamarans or larger vessels change the rules.
Re: Ditch bag
shouldn't you have more than one ditch bag for offshore sailing? not including the one in a life raft?
Re: Ditch bag
Good suggestions above. I need to remind myself of what's in our ditch bag (the Landfall Nav bag mentioned above, which is VERY well built). One thing we throw into our bag... in addition to keeping a set of good and non-expired SOLAS flares and smokers, we throw all of our expired flares in there too.

A Peek Behind The Wizard's Curtain
The world of hyper scale web properties has been shrouded in secrecy, with major players like Google and Amazon releasing only tantalizing dribbles of information about their infrastructure architecture and facilities, on the presumption that this information represented critical competitive IP. In one bold gesture, Facebook, which has certainly catapulted itself into the ranks of top-tier sites, has reversed that trend by simultaneously disclosing a wealth of information about the design of its new data center in rural Oregon and contributing much of the IP involving racks, servers, and power architecture to an open forum in the hopes of generating an ecosystem of suppliers to provide future equipment to themselves and other growing web companies.
The Data Center
By approaching the design of the data center as an integrated combination of servers for known workloads and the facilities themselves, Facebook has broken some new ground in data center architecture with its facility.
At a high level, a traditional enterprise DC has a utility transformer that feeds power to a centralized UPS, and then power is subsequently distributed through multiple levels of PDUs to the equipment racks. This is a reliable and flexible architecture, and one that has proven its worth in generations of commercial data centers. Unfortunately, in exchange for this flexibility and protection, it extracts a penalty of 6% to 7% of power even before it reaches the IT equipment.

Hello everyone,
Could you provide insight on what Northen Illinois locations have public hunting in which a boat is not needed? I am trying to find a place that I could occasionally pop out to without a boat or dog. I am fortunate enough to hunt with group that has access to everything, but I am curious on quick options for a day or two that I'm not hunting with them and don't have a boat and dog.
I have searched on Illinois DNR, but I have a tough time getting any real information on what types of blinds/locations are available from the fact sheets.
Thank you!

hey everyone!
This is my first prop build ever, im hoping it will go well. I am making a custom Mandalorian helmet out of aluminum and galvanized steel sheet metal. i am using DSSL's aluminum helmet tutorial, however i am not following it step for step and i am using some different materials than those that are used in the tutorial. So far i have some of the parts cut out and taped together to see how everything fits. The tutorial says to use rivets and screws to keep the helmet together, i feel using hardware is a little bit overkill for the materials i am using so i will not be using any if i can avoid it. When you see the pictures you will notice the front half of the mask is a very thin gauged aluminum sheet, i dont think it is sturdy enough for a wearable helmet so i will be coating the inside front half with fiberglass. im not sure what im going to do for the dome yet, but i know i dont want to go the paper template way. once i make the helmet nice and solid, i will think about adding extra features to the helmet than hit it with bondo. my goal is to make a mando/jedi concept costume. Has anyone else done anything like this? if so i would like to see others ideas.


text: After reading this again maybe I should explain. I'm talking about how quiet it is and it doesn't disturb the animals, etc. Shoot for a while and then sit and enjoy being away from the noise of town. This gun is very accurate and has never jammed since new. Just don't ever lose the little plastic rod for assembly. Tried putting it together without the plastic rod once, won't try again.

Back in the Pros: Wojta Strikes Gold With WNBA's Silver Stars
By Justin Grones (@JustinGrones)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - The most decorated player in Green Bay women's basketball history is headed back to the pros. Julie Wojta, who wrapped up her outstanding career with the Phoenix during the 2011-12 campaign, has been added to the San Antonio Silver Stars training camp roster, the WNBA franchise announced earlier this week.
The deal marks the third time Wojta has found herself in the WNBA since graduating in May 2012. She was invited to the 2012 WNBA Draft, where she was selected in the second round as the 18th overall pick by the Minnesota Lynx. With only one open roster spot and a handful of new players, Wojta was released by the Lynx prior to the 2012 regular season despite impressing the team's coaching staff during the preseason.
In two WNBA exhibition games last season, Wojta averaged 14 minutes per contest, shot 50 percent from the field, and scored nine total points and grabbed nine total rebounds.
When injury struck Minnesota last July, Wojta was signed to a seven-day contract taking the Lynx to the WNBA's month-long break for the 2012 Olympics. In her lone appearance, Minnesota defeated Tulsa in an 89-74 road contest. Wojta played four minutes, grabbing two rebounds.
After her short-term deal with the Lynx expired, Wojta headed to Europe to play for Belgium's Belfius Namur. She's made her name known this season, averaging 16.0 points, 10.2 rebounds and 2.3 assists per contest.
Wojta graduated last year as the most decorated player in Green Bay women's basketball history with a resume packed with awards and recognition. During her senior campaign alone, Wojta earned Horizon League Player and Defensive Player of the Year honors, was one of five finalists for the John R. Wooden Award, was an AP Second Team All-American and Naismith and Wade Trophy finalist, just to name a few.
In addition to Wojta, San Antonio also offered a training camp contract to Yvonne Turner, a decorated 2010 graduate of Nebraska. The Silver Stars open the 2013 season on May 24 at home against the reigning WNBA Champions, Indiana.

You can't go wrong with either...
The P30 is the more up to date model from Heckler and Koch... Ergonomics are better
However, the USP is a classic design. I own a USP-C. I got the USP for the classic design.
Youll find a USP online for cheaper than a P30 as well.
Both are equal in reliability (super duper reliability) and have more likeness then differences
If I had to do it all over again, I might have gone with the P30 (was unaware the model existed at the time) but if you cant decide there are a handful of other pistols you could look at too. A Sig Sauer P226, Glocks, etc. But HK is an amazing brand. Hope this helps

Bio and Links
I have enjoyed searching my family's history since I was 14 years old. It has brought me to some wonderful places and I have met some great people along the way. My travels have taken me from New Hampshire, Maine, all of New England, to California (and in between), to Scotland, Wales and England. I take pride in verifying and documenting my findings. Some of my family names are: Purington / Purrington /Puddington (all variations of the name, Pray, Cheney, Hoitt / Hoyt, Littlefield, Bradbury, Wentworth, Boston, Blaisdell, Webster, Dustin, Brewster, and too many others to mention. Most of these names can be traced to Maine, anywhere from Hallowell, Brunswick, / Machias, Phippsburg, Harpswell, to Old Orchard / Wells, York to the Berwicks....also in New Hampshire, from Dover, Portsmouth, Barrington to the seacoast. From Massachusetts, Plymouth Rock, Boston, Haverhill. To England, Wales, Scotland, France, Denmark and back.
The memorials I have created are those that are directly related to me.(except the "Fernalds" and the "Ekola's") In some cases going back 12 to 14 generations. Most however are within 5 generations.... I don't go around and snap photos of cemetery gates or entrances just for the fun of it......I do however thank those who travel and record old cemeteries, the ones that beat the brush and make it possible for folks to find their loved ones from years past.....Thank You!
This is fun and meant to be enjoyable, for I have always believed that "one does not know where one is going, until one has known where one has been"....our ancestors tell us that, and more if we watch, learn and listen.

RE: William H.H. Fernald
Hi Kirk,
In regards to the photo it came from a Civil War photo album that contained images of NH soldiers who were identified. A dealer broke up the album (a shame to say the least) and sold the images individually. I was fortunate to acquire the Fernald image. What is unique about it is that the 8th New Hampshire Infantry, in which Fernald served, was converted to "mounted" infantry, which explains the unique uniform he is wearing.
Eventually they went back to infantry to close out the war. Not related to Fernald nor am I related to Kenny Morin.

George Pray
Thanks for adding George and adding the information in his memorial. I saw a news release that he was added to the NH ODM.
Genealogy is a hobby (perhaps an obsession for 15 years). I usually stick to my wife's and my families but thought I would research George's to see if there were any living relatives.
I have a full subscription to Ancestry.com, use RootsMagic to create reports and compile databases. I share genealogy information, except that for the living or recently dead (which I keep on my computer).
Be more than happy to correspond or talk about this. I have few questions based upon an hour or so of research, prior to seeing your entry in Find a Grave.
