Thank you! I tried to choose something that is definitely Canadian (though in my research I learned they also grow in the colder climes of Europe) without being obviously Canadian in a way that requires an explanation.
Re: Canadian Periodic Table
there's so many other elements you could add, i wish you could have made the entire table....but i imagine it'd be pretty hard to come up with that many references(even as a fellow Cananuk I can't think of that many unless you add in all the different kinds of Canadian beer) great idea btw! ;-)

carina83 wrote:wow, very beautiful. I also like to see the changing of the leaves. I am not sure about the black sure, but you got my vote.
It's funny... this started as a brown shirt, not black. The leaves that are now brown were navy in color. I couldn't get it to really look like a unified leaf, though, so I changed the leaves at the bottom to brown and then I changed the shirt to navy.
That made the "big leaf" look fine but now the shirt wasn't as warm and also the birds weren't standing out so much... so I tried again with black. That seemed to be the best color combination. I kinda wish Woot had more shirt colors, though, as a warm, dark grey would be perfect (their grey's cool and lighter).
Anyway... thanks so much for the vote. Here's hoping it gets made. :-)

Mike Honcho extends tepid support for this shirt. While Mike Honcho likes it, it was done by Mike Honcho after all, Mike Honcho recognizes that there are much better offerings for this derby than Mike Honcho can provide.
Re: The Time Has Come, Eh?
I would say that I might like this if instead of bombs and such, it were planes delivering woot shirts...but that would get rejected for being woot-related.

Re: Maple Leaves
Awsome shirt.
Re: National Flag of Canada
This is the National flag of Canada. The maple leaf has been used since the early days of Canada to symbolize the land and it's people. The maple leaf was first proposed to be the emblem of Canada in 1834. The maple leaf was for many years the symbol of the Canadian Armed Forces and was used by Canada in both world wars. The maple leaf wasn't used on the Canadian flag until 1965. The maple leaf is fun to draw!
Red and white were approved as Canada's official colors in 1921.

I don't really think a wad of scribbles is too flattering on someone's person. Plus I can't imagine how many weird stares you would get when walking past because it's not too easy to notice the little Google Maps tacks, if you will. I think this could work as a shirt if it was executed differently.
Meh, I don't know. It's in the fog so it's obvious it's really standing up here.

I really have no expectations in winning, but I would like to continue to join the Derby in hopes of gaining experience in halftone t-shirt design. Thanks for the friendly comment!
It's a great design, the dragon could definitely use a little touching up but I'm sure it's far better than anything I could do. The rogue is awesome.

Re: IM THE MAP
There are quite a few rejections for maps of fictional worlds that the artist didn't create that don't even break that rule. At least Woot is being relatively consistent here, but they seem to be banning shirts for using pop culture references, despite not specifying that rule. This is a pretty generic map, as was the one in the original Waldo shirt. I've seen Dora before, and this map is not that map. Some of the rejections make sense, others, not at all. This is in the latter category.

Don't get me wrong, I like the concept behind your design, but... it's not a map.
Websters defines 'map' as:
a : a representation usually on a flat surface of the whole or a part of an area
b : a representation of the celestial sphere or a part of it
This is a flat surface that represents(states a boundary) of an area....so it IS a map.
The fact that you don't get the joke totally bretrays your age, kiddo.

Not really. It's got a lot of borders, which means it's very hard to control. This is only noteworthy because of the Seinfeld episode (which is linked to above).
But GREENLAND? Gotta have Greenland.

Ukraine is nice to own if you can somehow manage to control Asia--fewer spots to build up your army. But trying to hold Asia is usually a fool's errand. Personally, I think the same about Europe--way too many spots to defend.
My personal strategy (if practical) is to capture Australia as soon as possible. If you can build up there early enough, people tend to ignore you since you're out of the way. But it's a nice way to get an extra two armies every turn and it's easy to defend since there's only one way in.
I really wanted this to be on a bright red shirt but I don't think Woot does bright red? Not sure.
Anyway, I had fun with this design, so let me know what you think!
I guess I just don't get it. Are you people telling me you would actually wear this shirt? Yes, I think it is clever, but ultimately hideous....

3 for 1 Special: Kyle Gibson
Gibson is in his first Spring Training with the major league squad and from the sounds of it, he has wasted no time in impressing the Twins brass. He has pitched in two outings with the A team this spring and has given up a run in each of those appearances. Many of the radio personalities that have made the trip down to Ft. Myers have commented that they are continued to be impressed by the maturity that has been shown by Gibson.
The first year of professional baseball for Gibson saw him make numerous stops in three levels of the Twins organization. He appeared in 7 games for the Class A Ft. Myers Miracle and had a (4-1) record, 1.87 ERA, and a 1.038 WHIP. In Ft. Myers he was also able to pitch a complete game shutout. His next stop on his path was at the AA level with the New Britain Rock Cats. This is the level that Gibson saw the majority of his playing time in 2010. He pitched 93 innings for the Rock Cats with a (7-5) record, a 3.68 ERA, and a 1.215 WHIP. The final stop for the year was at AAA Rochester, where Gibson made three starts. Gibson was feeling the fatigue of a long season and only averaged around 5 IP per start. He had an ERA of 1.72 and a WHIP of 1.085.
There was an interesting story about Gibson at the end of the Twins radio broadcast on Tuesday. Kris Atteberry was announcing the game for the Twins Radio Network and he told the tale of his experience with Gibson during this year's Winter Caravan. Atteberry was part of the caravan crew that include Gibson and former Twins pitcher, Jack Morris. During supper one evening Gibson couldn't wait to talk pitching with Morris, the World Series hero. Dan Gladden, who was also part of the radio broadcast on Tuesday, said that he wondered why more pitchers didn't take the opportunities that they had to pick the brains of the veteran pitchers that were around them. His example for the Twins was the fact that Bert Blyleven is on every flight with the Twins and he never sees the younger pitchers come to discuss the game with the Hall-of-Fame pitcher. Gibson is eager to learn from those around him and that trait will serve him well in his major league career.
Between the three pitchers that have been featured in the "3 for 1 Special," Gibson is most likely the long shot to make the rotation when the team heads north from Spring Training. For various reasons the Twins will let Gibson spend a little bit more time seasoning at the minor league level. This allows the Twins to keep Gibson under team control for a greater amount of time. The Twins will turn to Slowey or Baker to fill the final spot in the rotation with the edge going to Baker at this point. If anyone in the Twins rotation has a set back, Gibson will be primed and ready to arrive on the scene for his major league debut.

Great three-piece post Cody. I agree with you that Baker will be the one who grabs the final rotation spot. We started hearing a lot last year of how the organization feels about Slowey. Not to mention, the Twins seem to want Baker to step up and be "the guy" in the rotation.
It is obvious that won't be the case, but I feel they still want him in the rotation. I think the Twins brass feels Baker still has a lot to give to the rotation.
I do think it is only a matter of time before Gibson is up though. There will be injuries and possibly regression or slumps by some of the pitchers currently in the rotation. The Twins can plug a few pitchers in there for now but come late June-early July, Gibson should be ready to make the jump to the bigs.

As most of you probably know by my last post in the Sarlaac Pit.....My boneheaded landlord threw out a good portion of my work to date thinking it was junk plastic in the basement. I recieved some compensation, but not enough. I had to pretty much start over as he tossed all my armor and my half completed jet pack as well as my 3/4 done blaster. So much time and energy down the tubes!!
I went to the local sign shop and picked up some Sintra and I wish I had done it with this material to begin with. Incredibly easy to work with and I think I'll actually be able to make a nice backplate out of this stuff.
The Torso armor was origionally 3mm thick, but that still looked too thin for me so I added a lip of 2mm sintra on the backside of the
pieces to give it a thicker appearance. I figure this will also help the armor sit more flush to the vest as I'll be using the snap method.
Once again thanks to Wizardofflight for his wonderfull templates! These pieces are far superior to my initial set of armor.
(I forgot how much fun painting the armor was!) The paint work is done, I just have some misting for the chest armor and a couple of dulling washes to apply after I complete the other pieces (cod, kidney and backplate. Want em to match up right color wise).
Thanks for looking

AT Morrisons in Weymouth people were queuing round the car park and out on to the road.
But staff were able to direct traffic, keep cars moving and reduce the queues. Fuel supplies had been running low yesterday morning until a tanker turned up.
Assistant deputy manager Warren Allner said: "It's been very busy, people have been queuing round the car park."
The BP garage in Upwey also saw long tailbacks as people descended on the site.
The Texaco garage in Wyke Regis had no fuel by lunchtime yesterday, although staff said they were expecting a delivery today.
Charlestown Motors run out of fuel at 10.30am yesterday.
Manager Godfrey Tout said: "We did a week's sales in just over a day."
Esso in King Street, Weymouth, ran out of unleaded petrol on Wednesday afternoon and diesel on Thursday morning. Staff said they were hoping to get a delivery soon.
The Esso garage at Lanehouse Rocks Road shut the forecourt for a couple of hours to allow a delivery tanker to get in.
When the garage reopened at lunchtime queues formed on both sides of the road as motorists rushed to buy.
Later people were seen taking in jerry cans to fill up and a fire engine was also on scene filling up.
The Esso garage on Granby Industrial Estate was closed in the afternoon and the forecourt coned off.
In Dorchester motorists queued down Weymouth Avenue. A spokesman said: "Unleaded fuel ran out yesterday morning and the garage only has diesel."
On Portland, staff at the Esso Garage on Easton Lane had to limit people to only £10 each.
One staff member said: "We are letting people fill up £10 now. Just to get through to our next delivery.
"We're ok for fuel – but we're running out so we're just limiting the amount people fill up.

Social media's impact on job searches
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. - It's Mark Rieland's job to find new employees for his Wisconsin-based company. He wants to know all he can about those he's considering adding to the payroll.
He's interested in their lives beyond their resume and one of the best tools for getting information is social media. "People should be concerned what they put online," says Rieland, "it's amazing what some people make accessible, especially on Facebook."
Maci Sonneberger graduates in May with her marketing degree, and so far she's still on the hunt for a place to work.
She knows her future boss could be looking online and says she is very careful about what she posts. "I think it's a good way to network and expand the job market and employers can see what's posted," says Sonneberger.
Recent numbers reports show the job market is getting better. Recruiters say they have openings and they are ready to hire. "We are willing to hire," says Rieland. "We actually have several positions open."
Employers say they are going beyond career fairs. Rieland says they've found many of their recent new employees through social media. "LinkedIn is probably one of our best recruiting tools actually," says Rieland.
With graduation quickly approaching, Maci Sonneberger says she's optimistic she will find a job. "It can be intimidating at first, but you just have to realize they are people too and you have to look for the right fit for you," says Sonneberger.
If you are searching for a job another career fair is coming up next week.
News 5 WCYB is sponsoring a career fair a the Millennium Center in Johnson City February 28 from 1 until 4 p.m.

Police reports: Interstate squabble leads to arrests close to Dotsero
June 17, 2012
Editor's note: The following excerpts were taken from Eagle County law enforcement officers and police reports.
DOTSERO, Colorado – Deputies responded to a report of a couple fighting near a vehicle stopped on the shoulder of eastbound Interstate 70 near Dotsero on May 24.
A 25-year-old woman was seen throwing objects at a 31-year-old man and then getting into the vehicle, which continued on I-70.
Officers caught up with the suspect vehicle – a white pickup with a camper shell – and pulled it over after seeing the truck veer onto the left shoulder from the left lane. An officer told the couple about the report of their fight and asked what happened.
The man said he lost his job in Utah and they were on their way back to Denver. The woman was screaming at him, so he pulled over and asked her to get out. She wouldn't, so he pulled her out and she fell down and then started throwing things at him. He said "it probably looked bad" but he "loved her to death."
The woman identified herself with what turned out to be a fake name and initially denied anything happened. Then she said the man did throw her out.
Deputies saw several sores on the woman's face and arms that were consistent with drug users. They asked her if there were any drugs in the car, and she said no, if there were any they belonged to the man.
The man denied having any drugs and denied permission to search the vehicle. A drug dog alerted to the driver's door handle two separate times and officers were able to obtain a search warrant. They found a container with needles and multiple burned spoons, along with other containers of marijuana and marijuana pipes.
The man was arrested for domestic violence, harassment, possession of drug paraphernalia, driving with a revoked license and failing to drive in a designated lane. The woman was arrested for criminal impersonation, domestic violence and harassment.
WOLCOTT, Colorado – A Wolcott resident called deputies May 30 to report shots being fired from a neighboring house onto his property where he had horses.
Officers went to the house and contacted a group of 19-year-olds who said they were shooting at ground squirrels with a .22-caliber rifle off the back deck. The teen who lived there said he did it often and made sure the gun was always at a downward angle. He estimated about 100 rounds were fired.
A deputy told him he could not shoot rifles from his deck for a few reasons: He was not more than 100 yards from other occupied structures; the property was on a golf course and classified as a resort, and he was under the influence of alcohol.
The young man was cited for prohibited use of a weapon and underage possession and consumption of alcohol. The other teens were not cited since they were led to believe the activity was OK.
GYPSUM, Colorado – Deputies were called to a store in Gypsum on May 31 for a shoplifter that had been caught.
The 38-year-old woman admitted to trying to steal a shirt by stuffing it in her purse and stealing other items from the store in the past. The shirt was worth $10. She was cited for theft and banned from the store.
GYPSUM, Colorado – A Gypsum man called deputies on June 3 when he heard a loud banging sound from his neighbor's apartment on Jules Drive.
It was unusual because he usually hears people walking up the stairs after the door opens. When he didn't hear footsteps, he went next door to greet his neighbors and saw their door was kicked in.
The residents had slept through the noise until officers woke them. They had no idea who might be responsible. Nothing appeared to be stolen. The damage was estimated to cost $1,000.
• $400 was stolen from a purse left unattended at a concert venue in Bond on May 27.
• The lock and handle were pried off of a walk-in freezer at an Eagle-Vail golf club between May 29 and 30. No food was stolen, and the club manager suspected the burglar was looking for alcohol.
• Four iPods were stolen from the New America School in Gypsum on May 15. The iPods belong to Eagle Valley Schools.
• The back window of a van was smashed out while it was parked at an Eagle-Vail apartment complex June 5.
• A rock was thrown through a window of Battle Mountain High School in Edwards between June 5 and 6. The window is estimated to cost $1,000 to replace.
• Deputies photographed murals spray painted inside a wildlife tunnel near Battle Mountain High School and sent the photos to the school's teachers to see if they might identify the artist.

Link the PhotoGuide to the Atlas
Last week, I wrote a couple posts highlighting aspects of our Bible Lands PhotoGuide, the illustrated dictionary of place names included with our Graphics Bundle. Today I want to show you how to make the PhotoGuide more accessible by linking it to the Atlas.
When you're looking at a place name in the Atlas and you want to learn more about it, wouldn't it be nice if you could just double-click it to look it up in the PhotoGuide? Doing so would give you in depth information as well as illustrative photos. This is the primary way I access the PhotoGuide in my own study.
To establish this link, simply open the Preferences and choose the Map Tab Display settings. In the section labeled "Hypertext," choose PhotoGuide 3 from the Default Tool pop-up menu. That's it! Click OK to close the Preferences dialog.
From now on, you can double-click a place name in any new map window to look it up in the PhotoGuide. Spend some time double-clicking a few place names and see what you discover.

Thirty-five years of service, two weeks' severance
Tal Smith spent 35 years with the Astros as a top baseball executive and played a major role in the constructions of the Astrodome and Minute Maid Park.
"In the terms of the front-office duties, he is the key man in the history of the whole franchise," former Astros manager Larry Dierker told the Houston Chronicle.
So, how is it possible that Smith will receive only two weeks' severance pay from the club, according to major-league sources?
Because the Astros' previous owner, Drayton McLane, did not arrange a more enticing golden parachute for Smith with the new owner, Jim Crane.
Smith's contract as president of baseball operations expired on Oct. 31, sources said, but he continued working for the club as an at-will employee. McLane was unable to extend Smith's contract after entering into his initial agreement with Crane on May 16.
The sale of the team became official Nov. 22. The new ownership announced the terminations of Smith and general manager Ed Wade six days later.
Wade left with far greater financial security than Smith – the GM was under contract for 2012, and when he was still GM on Oct. 1, a clause in his contract also guaranteed him his salary for '13.
Smith, on the other hand, received the equivalent of one month's salary when McLane awarded bonuses to Astros' employees upon the closing of the sale, sources said.
That bonus, plus the two weeks' severance, is all he will receive after serving the Astros in all five decades of their existence, including the past 18 years under McLane.
Smith, 78, has been in baseball 54 years. He plans to continue work with his consulting firm, which has advised teams on salary arbitration cases since 1981.

Loved this article! I remember reading it and feeling like the S4 winning was a personal victory for me
The S4 is the only one at this point that doesn't look badly dated.
Ten years ago, the S4 would top the list for me, now it is the M3. Simpler and more reliable.
I'd love the Saab for the quirky factory and my addiction to torque steer.
...The Merc never had any appeal. Soulless German speed appliance with the visual appeal of a Buick.
Flamesuit on.
WUT? The M3 didn't win a C&D comparo?
I remember reading this article back in 1999. It's so wierd how time flies.
I still remember lusting after that S4. To this day I want to own one -- but the only thing holding me is the legendary unreliability of the 2.7TT.
I'm amazed the Viggen beat out the Benz. It's definitely the black sheep of the bunch and I have a real soft spot for it
I remember driving the Viggen...and how awful that torque steer was. It reminded me of the torque steer in the old Chevy X11.
Lots of VW stuff|Rare Scirocco parts!
The family: '55 Ford 351C, '70 TR6 262Olds, '80 Rabbit AAZ, '84 C30 350, '88 Scirocco 9A, '97 Hardbody KA24E, '01 TJ 150AMC.
E36 M3 always a solid choice, the Viggen flex/torque steer can be remedied fairly easily with an aftermarket steering/bulkhead brace kit.
We have searched every square inch of this base and all we have found is porno, porno, PORNO!
Adjusted for inflation, the prices of these cars have pretty much stayed the same but performance have improved leaps and bounds.
To put it in perspective, the 1999 M3 was $43k, which is about $60k in 2012 adjusted for inflation - about the same price as 2012 M3. But performance wise, the 2012 F30 328i is about equal match to the 1999 M3 (actually, it is faster and better handling than the 1999 M3...)
Something I noticed in this test that I miss: body colored seats. The S4 has them in the test, and they were available in the Saab(in blue AND yellow as I remember). BMW offers red leather now, but that's nowhere near as mental as yellow and blue!
Also, just for curiosity, I'd like to see a Viggen with Abbott Racing's Viggen Rescue Kit tested. Owners love the kit, and I wonder what it does for the drivetrain lash and lap times.

UNIVERSITY OF RICHMOND, Va. - Led by a career-best 26 points from junior Derrick Williams, the Richmond Spiders defeated the Wake Forest Demon Deacons, 62-60, in the Bank of America Challenge on Saturday night at the Robins Center.
The win was Richmond's third straight over Wake Forest, marking the first time the Spiders have defeated the Demon Deacons in the 50-game series.
Williams notched his second-straight double-double in the victory, grabbing a game-high 10 rebounds. Sophomore Kendall Anthony joined him in double figures with 11 points, hitting all six of his free throws down the stretch.
"We executed our best down the stretch of the game," head coach Chris Mooney said following the win. "We did the things we needed to do to win and certainly made foul shots. Derrick [Williams] was tremendous from beginning to end. I am pleased with the win and looking forward to the next game."
Williams was once again a force in the paint for the Spiders in the first half, helping lead Richmond to a 39-32 lead at the break. The junior forward had 14 points in the first 20 minutes on 3-of-5 shooting from the field and 7-of-9 from the free throw line.
Freshman Alonzo Nelson-Ododa also had a solid first half for the Spiders, scoring a career-high eight points on 3-of-4 shooting including 2-of-3 from beyond the arc. Richmond's defense continued to put the pressure on, forcing 10 first-half Wake turnovers.
In the second half, the Spiders maintained control of the contest, pushing their lead to nine points with 11:17 left in the game on a layup from Williams. The Demon Deacons responded with a 14-4 run to take the lead with just over six minutes left to play.
The Spiders came right back and over the next five minutes, the lead changed five times and the game was tied on three separate occasions.
The biggest shot of the game came with the game tied, 54-54. With the shot clock running down, junior guard Cedrick Lindsay drove to the bucket, drawing the Wake defenders. Lindsay kicked the ball out to the right corner to a wide-open Anthony, who gave Richmond a three-point lead it would not give back, 57-54, with 1:11 left in the game.
Anthony scored seven of Richmond's last eight points, going 4-for-4 from the free throw line in that stretch to help secure the victory for the Spiders, 62-60.
The Richmond will be back in action on Tuesday when it travels to Norfolk to face in-state rival Old Dominion at the Constant Center. The game will be broadcast nationally on the NBC Sports Network, with tip-off scheduled for 6 p.m. For information on how to find the NBC Sports Network, click here.
NOTES: Richmond has won 12 of its last 19 games against teams from BCS conferences ... The victory was the fourth over an ACC school during Mooney's tenure ... The Spiders are 46-8 in their last 54 home games and 33-4 in their last 37 home games against non-conference opponents.

Back in the 70's was when some people started talking about survivalism. There weren't near as many military type rifles available in those days. When Ruger introduced their Mini-14, it became the favorite rifle of a lot of survivalists, including me.
Although I longed for one for years, I didn't purchase my first one until 1998. It is the old style with the "Pencil" barrel. I have shot it and it shot OK. It is accurate enough for my needs.
In 2010 I purchased the latest style of this rifle, with the tapered barrel. It is supposedly more accurate that the "Pencil" barreled older model.
After lots of study, I have decided that the AR is probably the best choice for a rifle of this caliber (.223 or 5.56MM). But, since I already have what I have, I am going to have to make do with them. I'll use the older one to back up the newer one.
So, now I want to discuss a new product that I recently found.This is a DVD, produced by On-Target Productions that demonstrates how to disassemble, clean, lubricate and reassemble the Mini-14. I mean, the guy totally takes everything apart! I was a mechanic for 30 years and I would never have dreamed of doing what these folks do. But, I am glad that I found this DVD and I am going to take my older rifle, and, following this DVD, I am going to to totally disassemble and clean it. I hope that I will be able to re-assemble it. I want to practice on the older one so that , if I am unable to get it back together, I'll still have my newer one. On the other hand, if I succeed in doing what the video shows, I will have mastered the cleaning and repair of this fine rifle.
I am aware that you can see this on You-Tube. But, I think that if you have, or plan to obtain a Mini-14, I want to recommend this video to you. To me it is indispensable. Dario

Hi All
I must introduce myself to the users on this forum.
Though I am new to this forum, we have been hunting for some odd 50 years.In the past I have found that there is much info to discuss on the subject---today even more!!
We as hunters , realise the importance of hunting and the associated conservation of the different species.Our selective hunting and the set limits,enables us to enjoy the outdoors and at the same time see that our future generations are able to enjoy it also.
This means that we must act in a professional and courteus manner when we encounter those that are against hunting. This also applies to discussions on this forum---others may stumble upon and read what we are saying here--for that vary reason think before you submit.Would you like to read what you have just put in writing?? Enough said!!
Let's have a good exchange of hunting info ---each of us have had both good and bad experiences and how you sorted them out.Let us all know-it may help others down the road.
I live in Vancouver,BC--the west coast mainland area.We hunt mostly under the Farm Act--as agents to protect the farms from predation from the large migratory flocks that go through here each fall.We hunt through two clubs--The Local Hunter Club--LHC Preserves-and--The Associated Wildlife Preserves.Together we have worked with the farm community for 35 plus years.We have a good exchange between the club members and are supporters of DUC--Ducks Unlmited Canada and BC Wildlife Federation.
Good Hunting!

Home > News & Events > Events Calendar > Lessons from an Outlier Case: The Indian Nuclear Tests and Theories of Nuclear Proliferation
Past research on the demand-side of nuclear proliferation largely suggests that states cross the nuclear threshold as a result of material cost-benefit calculations, provided that they have the technical ability to do so. Common explanations for a country's decision to go nuclear highlight its lack of security, the scientific community's interest in acquiring nuclear weapons, and an "inward-looking" government's desire to boost domestic support. However, a separate literature emphasizes normative and psychological elements, such as the lack of norms and democratic institutions, as well as the worldview and emotions of leaders. India's decisions to conduct nuclear tests in 1974 and 1998 and taking preparations for tests but ultimately refraining from carrying them out in the early 1980s, 1995, and 1996 present a challenge to both meta-theoretical approaches. While most of the above-mentioned concepts cannot explain India's nuclear policy, others might account for some incidents but are hard to reconcile with all. This triggers the question of what we can learn from the empirics to make the theoretical arguments more conclusive. It is suggested that substantial insights about the blind spots of several proliferation models can be derived from the broader IR theories invoked by the respective propositions. This Project on Managing the Atom seminar will be led by Sven-Eric Fikenscher, MTA/ISP Research Fellow.

From another thread:Cross dominant shooting is a funny thing, I'm left eye dominant and right handed and I've noticed the following:
With pistols, I shoot more accurately using my left eye, but I've always been center when shooting with my right eye only, I just shoot tighter groups closing my left eye.
With pistols, I can get good two eyes open sight picture by indexing my chin on my right shoulder and score good quick hits and maintain more peripheral vision than shooting with one eye open and one eye closed. Some like to cant the gun to the left at around a 45 degree angle (plus or minus) and have good results, but I didn't like the way the gun handled during recoil in that position.
With rifles I've always shot right eyed only and managed to qualify mid to high expert multiple times while in the Marines, that's shooting with iron sights out to 500 yards and scoring hits on man size targets, shooting at 300 yards and 200 yards. It's not that big a deal being cross dominant with rifles if you're using iron sights. Some issues start up when you being using 1X optics, I can NOT get a good sight picture (proper sight alignment applied to the target) with an Aimpoint or EOTECH unless I close my left eye. Again canting the firearm will probably help, but I haven't really tried it with an optic equipped rifle. So with rifles I will shoot right eye only.
As a cross dominant shooter, if you are going to shoot trap or skeet using your strong hand, you're screwed. You need to shoot the shotgun with whatever hand matches to your eye. You can probably learn to do it with the other hand, but it's going to be a pain in the rear.
Back to pistols as this is the HANDGUN forum...
There are many different schools of thought on cross dominance, I've been looking into this for a couple years and reading what others have to say on this matter and I've seen the following arguments.
1: You should shoot with both eyes open for the improved peripheral vision.
That only works if you can actually see your sights with both eyes open, unless your point shooting you need to see your sights to make hits. Not to mention that in times of mass adrenaline, we have the tenancy to go into tunnel vision and that improved vision of having two eyes open may not matter at all.
2: You should shoot with whatever hand corresponds to your dominant eye.
I don't know about everyone else, but my left hand is damn near useless. But here are two more points, one for and one against the above statement.
A: Using your off hand that corresponds to your dominant eye will leave your strong hand available for negotiating obstacles and your mag changes may be faster.
B: If you've been shooting with your hand that doesn't match your dominant eye, it's going to take a lot of practice getting used to drawing, aiming, and firing with the same precision* that you get with your dominant hand.
3: You should cant the gun closer to your dominant eye.
As noted above, guns are meant to recoil on a vertical plane, that's usually means that the gun is going to go with the front sight and travel at an arc. Canting the gun to get better sight picture is aligning the gun to hit you in the face and take your sights further off target while firing.
So here's the real deal from what I've tried and what I've learned from other instructors.
Use whatever method works for you and improve that method.
If you find that you get better hits and better performance using your right eye only, stick with it. If your left eye is dominant but you close it, your right eye is now dominant by lack of options.
If you want to shoot with two eyes open, adjust your head laterally until you find the right sight picture and practice alot with it until that position is where you naturally end up after drawing and presenting the gun on target. It's taken me almost two years but the practice is finally paying off and I'm getting that "instinctual muscle memory" sometimes I lapse and find myself closing my right eye but for the most part I'm doing OK.
If canting the gun works for you, use it.
You don't have to shoot the same for every ocassion. If I'm shooting a rimfire bulls eye competition where I'm not over working my left hand, I'll shoot left handed as that's where I get my most accuracy. If I'm shooting close up defensive stlye I use both eyes open, if the target is a little further out and smaller, I will close my right eye for the most accuracy while using my dominant hand as it gives my best overall performance under prolonged use.
There is no right or wrong way to shoot if the results you get with a given method work for you.
* Accuracy vs. Precision: Accuracy is doing somehting correctly, precision is doing something accurately a number of times in a row and acheiving the same result at the end of an action. I can shoot more accurately left handed, but as time goes on, my left arm wears out faster than my right and my accuracy is effected as a result of "the shakes". While shooting right handed, I acheive an acceptable level of accuracy and due to the greater strength of my right side, I get more precision, that is to say I can acheive the desired result (a good hit) more often while shooting right handed.

Question: I am a fifth-generation Australian of Chinese descent. My ancestor came to Australia during the gold rush and I have begun to do some family history research. Does the museum have records or information relating to the Chinese in Australia in the 19th century?
Answer: Immigration Museum explores the stories of people from all over the world who have migrated to Victoria. Our exhibitions, events, collections and resources focus on the immigration experience – including the history of immigration to Australia and the varied immigrant communities within the state.
For your individual family history research, the museum doesn't hold records or archival material relating to specific immigrants. For this type of information you will need to go to state and national archives, which hold this information. Our infosheet on researching family history includes lots of useful information and links to assist people with finding and accessing records relating to their family's immigration to Australia.
Nonetheless, museum staff can help you find historical resources on Chinese-Australians and the gold rush, as well as suggestions for further research to help you contextualise your research and place it within the wider history of 19th-century Australia.
In 1851 gold was discovered near Ballarat. The lure of untold riches drew around half a million immigrants to Victoria in only a decade. Chinese immigrants came in large numbers and by 1861 made up almost 7% of the state's population. In Melbourne, Little Bourke Street soon became a thriving centre of the Chinese community and today is famous as the heart of Chinatown.
There are numerous resources available that you can use to explore the history of the Chinese community and their history in Australia. The Immigration Museum website has much to offer and searching will reveal a wealth of information about the history of Chinese immigration. For example historical information, statistical data and images about this community are available via the Origins site, which explores both the past and present of Victoria's immigrant population. Also, the Immigration Timeline provides general information about the history of migration to Victoria, including some notes on the history of the Chinese community.
Chinese immigration is also explored in the museum itself. The Getting In gallery explores the origins of the White Australia Policy in the context of large-scale Chinese immigration to Australia and touches on issues of discrimination felt by the community because of their race. At the Immigration Discovery Centre there is a wide selection of books on Chinese-Australian history that visitors can access. We encourage people to come and explore these resources, as well as to get advice from the Discovery Centre staff about avenues for further research.
A number of other public institutions, including the State Library of Victoria and the National Archives of Australia have excellent historical resources on Chinese-Australian history. There are also many organisations that specialise in this area, such as the Chinese Museum, the website of which has a good general history of Chinese migration to Australia, links, resources and an excellent collection of photographs. A wealth of information can be found about Chinese-Australian history online; we have listed just a selection of these. Good luck with your research!
Hi Louise, have you considered contacting the Ballarat and District Genealogical Society? There is a lot of useful information on their website about Chinese immigration to the area and they may have some useful links for you. You can find contact details for them here: http://www.ballaratgenealogy.org.au/
We love receiving comments, but can't always respond.
My Family arrived in Australia in December 1951 aboard the Cameronia, I was 12 years old, I Can remember having a Great time, playing with other Children on Boa...

Minnesota Liberals Think People Of Color Are Too Stupid To Keep Track Of IDs
posted at 8:55 am on February 23, 2012 by Mitch Berg
Between 70% and 80% of Minnesota voters favors the Voter ID proposal – a proposed constitutional amendment that'd require photo ID to vote in the state.
Some of us favor it because it's the first step in a series of election reforms that will help us ensure that our election system in fact has integrity; there are increasingly strong suspicions that the election system in Minnesota, with its reports of fraudulent election-day un-identified vouched registrations (among other abuses), lacks that integrity.
Others have the common sense to know that 32 states currently require some degree of voter ID, and elections work just fine; the elderly and students register and vote, just like adults (significantly, most of the non-ID states are Democrat, including states renowned for dirty elections, like Illinois, New York, New Jersey and California)
But for whatever reason, Minnesota voters overwhelmingly favor the measure. Even in the most "conservative" poll on the subject, the Survey USA poll which showed a 71-23 margin of support overall, the measure even wins among declared liberals, 35-32.
So the anti-ID crowd is getting desperate.
And to paraphrase Gandhi, when you're fighting the DFL machine on a subject like this, first they ignore you.
Then they mock you.
And then they call you a racist.
The site was sponsored by "Take Action Minnesota", an astroturf group thats is basically what all of the various non-profit Wellstone cults became over the last decade or so.
And – oboy. A black guy in a striped suit. Not good. Tasteless, unpolitically-correct and tone deaf.
And yeah I guess that, all by itself, invalidates the entire move to bring integrity back to our voting system.
BAD MN Majority.
MN Majority came out with another – which also aroused TakeAction's drearily predictable ire:
Lest you think all TakeActionMN does is do screenshots, there was some writing and stuff too:
This image is on a Minnesota Majority website. It is trying to scare us into changing our state constitution to require a photo ID to vote. Photo ID would restrict voting rights for over half a million Minnesotans – especially people of color. Photo ID is voter suppression. And it stops here.
I'm always puzzled by the notion that requiring an ID to vote – like we require them for lesser "rights" like cashing a check, using a credit card, setting up a bank account, getting a Social Security Card, getting a copy of your birth certificate, buying Sudafed, getting into a bar, buying a firearm or ammunition, buying a car, taking out a loan, dropping your kids off and picking them up at drop-in daycare, buy alcohol or cigarettes, apply for welfare, food stamps or any sort of medical assistance, rent an apartment, get admitted to a hospital, or get a marriage license – "disenfranchises" anyone, much less ten percent of all Minnesotans, as "Take Action MN" claims. Or, for that matter, that VoterID infringes, in and of itself, on the right to vote. It doesn't; it merely means you need an ID to do it.
Indeed, once you get past cartoon pratfalls, it's TakeAction that makes the genuinely racist claim – the ludicrous and frankly offensive notion that ten percent of Minneostans – apparently, all minorities, students and the elderly, although nobody has any idea where they got that number, and next month it could very well be "eleventy-teen percent" and nobody will say "boo". But to me, their claims sound a lot like "minorities and people of color are too dumb to keep track of their paperwork and ID cards".
At any rate – we know how Gandhi's bromide ends; "Then you win".
TakeAction and the rest of the Minnesota astroturf cult are getting increasingly desperate on this issue, as well as the other big wedge issue likely headed for the ballot this fall, an amendment to make Minnesota a Right to Work state. Without fraudulent votes and endless union money, the DFL's position in Minnesota will get a lot weaker.

12 Ga hammerless Double Barrel
Supposedly from the mid 1960s.

Housing market
Ive been watching it fairly close for a few months and it seems like the houses are selling a lot faster and for a lot more money lately, figures I am only a couple of months from buying.
Am I seeing this wrong? How long do you think this bubble is going to last?

That's a good thing, even for a buyer. Sure, you may pay a little more up front, but at least your property value will continue on the rise. Long term we should see some improvement in the next 5-10 years, so make sure its somewhere you won't mind being for a while.

I think you are right. In my old neighborhood lots of recent foreclosures, only to be bought up super fast and than sold a month later for a profit. A couple years ago similar houses would sit for months on end for super cheap and never budge.
Where I live now, houses do not stay on the market very long unless it is way overpriced. I do see the market somewhat stabilizing, I wouldn't call it a bubble thou

I have some friends that are looking for a house and anything that does not require a lot of work goes fast and goes for good money in the SE area. $300K and up there are still houses around but under that they go fast. According to my friends that have been looking the past couple months.

I bought a new house while I tried to short sale my old house. I have been living in my new house now for about a year and a half and in that time it has gone up in value over 20K
I managed to short sale my old house and this thread has got me wondering what the value of it has become.....I hope it didn't go up in value for shit

there is no universal answer to the question - location, location, location.
in some areas of SE Michigan as an example, a modest up-tick can easily be inferred.
e.g. I just reviewed an appraisal on a purchase for a house that just closed at $555,000. The last recorded sale was April of 2011 for $480,000 (which was not a short sale) so there is some evidence. From the photo's, it looked like a well kept home with some minor cosmetic enhancements, not a significant rebuild/rework/flip.

I'll echo the sentiments of others that location is still king and that the market is vastly different if you are willing to put in some work compared to something that is move-in ready.
I know in the areas that I keep an eye on (Bloomfield Hills, Birmingham, Beverly Hills, Franklin, the southern part of Bloomfield Township) there is very little left that is in move-in condition and under $300k. However, if you are willing to put in a little elbow grease (or contract out the work), you can still find some deals in those neighborhoods.
I'm nosy so when a house in my area hits the market I check out the price and what it last sold at the last couple times and the new selling price (if it sells). Not only are the houses selling for more than the did a couple of years ago, but quite a few of them seem to be selling for more than asking. Average days on the market seem to be plummeting as well, especially in the more desirable neighborhoods.
I don't really think this is a bubble compared to what was seen about a decade ago. First, we are still pretty far below the peak prices in around 2004 - 2007, and more importantly, there could actually be a shortage of housing on the market in the area (especially for move-in ready housing).
Here's where the nerdy demographer in me takes over - Since the start of the downturn new household formation has not kept pace with the changes in population (even with population declines in a few of the years). Average household size has increased, but the reason for the increase is older children have moved back in with their parents (or just waited longer to move out) or other instances of doubling up, not because people in the area are having more children. As the jobs are starting to return and the population seems to be growing a bit more steadily again (still slowly though), the demand for housing is going to continue to rise. And because this area never had a glut of empty housing like you can still find in Southern Florida or California's Inland Empire existing home prices will rise a bit faster than it would in those other places. Also, the increase in sales and sale prices isn't being fueled by sub-prime lending and overbuilding like it was in the past - it's quite a bit more difficult to get a mortgage today than it was about 7 years ago.
In the end, locally (and by local I mean Metro Detroit because I don't really have any idea what's happening west of US-23), as long as the jobs continue to steadily return and the population continues to rise, housing prices should continue to go up as well. Personally, I feel that the anemic population growth rate in the region (and the state really) is a bigger drag on the housing market here than anything else is.

I have read allot of articles about predatory lenders many that had to pay fines and lost law suits, because they where approving loans that people could not afford, If someone is in a position like that then why not short sale and get an affordable home.
On the other hand those moves really screw the property values of the homes that people are stuggling to keep.
Either way it sucks.

Isn't going to happen. I made a promise, and I aim to keep that promise and pay the note off. (in fact, hopefully our refi will go through shortly (no debt forgiveness) but much lower rate and shorter term - intend to have the house paid off in 10 years, or 15 at the worst depending on what they approve)
That being said, if the note is only held by the collateral of the house, and some questionable strong-arm attempt at collections, temporarily ruined credit scores, etc. then on a macro level it makes sense to have the bank participate in the short sale and get someone else into that house at today's market values rather than seeing someone abandon the house and impact a neighborhood or region with blight.

Alec Brown's 40-Point Game Leads Phoenix Win
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – Senior Alec Brown (Winona, Minn.) accomplished something on Saturday afternoon that had not been done by a Phoenix player in 25 seasons, scoring a career-high 40 points to lead Green Bay (8-3) to a 74-58 victory over visiting Fairfield in non-conference men's basketball action at the Resch Center. Green Bay heads into its holiday break with three-straight victories and wins in five of its past six games.
Besting his career high by 12 points, Brown's 40 points came on 12-of-17 shooting from the field and a 14-of-15 effort from the free-throw line. The senior made both of his three-pointers and added eight rebounds and three blocked shots in 33 minutes.
The 40-point game is the first by a Phoenix player since Tony Bennett scored a program Division I record 44 points on Feb. 11, 1989. Brown's 40 points are the fifth-most in program history, five behind the school record of 45 set by Ray Willis against UW-Parkside on Feb. 9, 1971. Brown joins Willis and Bennett as the only Phoenix players to ever score 40 points.
Brown got off to a quick start on Saturday, scoring 10-straight points early to give Green Bay a 12-4 lead just six minutes into the game. He was 3-of-8 from the field with 12 points with seven minutes to play in the half, but made his last three shots to go into the halftime break with 19 points. Despite six Fairfield threes, the Phoenix led 34-27 at intermission.
In the second half, Brown scored the first nine points for the Phoenix, including a three-pointer with 16:23 remaining to match his previous career high of 28 points.
Fairfield trailed just 47-42 at the 13:46 mark, but a three-pointer by junior Keifer Sykes (Chicago, Ill.) and a dunk and three-point play by junior Greg Mays (Chicago, Ill.) pushed the lead to 11.
Putting the game away, Brown scored the first eight points of a 14-3 spurt that gave Green Bay its biggest lead of the game, 74-53, with 1:57 on the clock. With 3:03 to play, Brown drained a 17-footer off a dish from Sykes and checked out moments later to a big ovation and a career-high 40 points. He made his last nine field-goal attempts of the afternoon.
While Brown was the lone Phoenix player in double figures, sophomore Carrington Love (Milwaukee, Wis.) and junior Lamin Fulton (Philadelphia, Pa.) scored eight and seven points, respectively, off the bench. Sykes totaled six points, five assists and four rebounds, and sophomore Jordan Fouse (Racine, Wis.) added five points, eight rebounds and two steals.
The Phoenix defense held Fairfield to just 28.1 percent shooting from the field, including just 20 percent (6-30) from inside the three-point line. The Stags made 10-of-27 three-pointers and committed 19 turnovers.
Green Bay returns to the court next Saturday, Dec. 28, when it hosts St. Francis (IL) at 1 p.m. at the Resch Center. The Phoenix will then open Horizon League play on Thursday, Jan. 2, welcoming Cleveland State to Green Bay at 7 p.m.

The Tuscan city of Siena is a popular vacation spot. It sits on three hills, its center the Piazza del Campo with its 13th and 14th century architecture. The Palazzo Publica is pure Italian gothic and the symbol of the power of former rulers. From the multitude of hotels in Siena, you can easily tour all that the city has to offer. Be sure to include the Fonte Gaia, the S. Francesco Basilica and the Duomo. The Duomo is an excellent example of medieval Italian architecture combining Gothic with some Romanesque elements. The façade is by Giovanni Pisano.To be sure of obtaining a booking in any of the Siena hotels, use EasyToBook.com. To keep spending under control, try to locate Siena cheap hotels or discount hotels. Siena has many different types of accommodation. Spend a weekend. Siena offers a visitor much from which to choose. From anywhere in the city, you can reach the various attractions including the Museo Civico, the 16th century Palazzo del Governatore dei Medici, currently the Provincial Government building, the Baptisterio dedicated to St John the Baptist with its 15th century hexagonal font and the Basilica dei Servi started in the 13th century by the Servites. Inside there are 13th and 14th century works, including the Madonna "del Bordone."

Not sure if this is the right forum, but I think Jeweling is pretty specific to range guns.
I want to add jeweling to my bolt rifle, so I gave it a shot on my 10/22. The 10/22 seems to be the gun that everything gets tested on. I used a steel brush from McMaster (3/16 OD, although the swirls are closer to .25"). I also made my own grinding compound from cutting fluid, soldering flux and bits of grinding wheel that end up in the wheel housings. This actually made a pretty good paste of ~100 grit.
Anyhow, I had the mill run a basic hexagonal point drill pattern (2nd row starts short of first row). I think the bolt looks pretty good, but I am not very confident the jeweling is deep enough.
How deep does jeweling need to be?
Thanks for the help,
I will put up pictures tomorrow

Discussion in 'Great Skate Debate' started by allezfred, Aug 18, 2013.
Here are the YT channels where Senior and Junior open/test skate videos are uploaded:
http://www.youtube.com/user/MrYyyyytube/videos (includes Mozer's pair group videos from Aug. 14)
DobrinFan posted: Pictures from Saturday's (Aug. 17) test skates http://www.fskate.ru/photo/361/
Very nice of them to put it on youtube! I don't know what we would do without internet. We would have to wait another 2 months!
IIRC, Sotnikova already used this music in her first Junior season. Is she now just recycling the old program?
It seems that she is using a different choreographer than she used before so I doubt that she would be able to re-use a part of the program. The new choreographer would not want to sign himself under someone else's work. Besides, it was like 4-5 years ago so it wouldn't be any advantage for her to use that old program. I don't think you can remember it properly if you don't skate it for such a long time, so she may as well learn some new choreography.
but its a different music arrangement from the one one in her JGP music
almost no similarity with the sound beat
Kovtun's SP music and choreo remind me of Lobacheva/Averbukh's original dance from 2002. Did Averbukh choreograph this program for Maxim? Anyway, I think he has a strong SP and his movement looks more nuanced now than it did last season.
Loved Sotnikova's Carmen.
All three programs for the coming season (including exhibitions) for both Adelina and Maxim were choreographed by Peter Tchernyshev.
Where are all of Morozov's skaters?
what do you mean by ALL Morozov skaters? He doesn't have that many left...
It's just leonova and I/k or did voronov leave.
Morozov is on the low down atm
only Perkova and I/K (which hopefully leave after another disaster season )
Voronov is now with Julia's coach Tutberidze
Sotnikova skated to that FS music before? It must have caused some kind of permanent hearing damage that she would use it again.
Peter Tchernyshev choreographed Kovtun's programs? And there is that much two footed skating in them?
And Takahashi but he wouldn't be at Russian test skate
oh my god. i am absolutely in love with bobrova/solovie's free dance. and that at this moment of the season. can't wait of looking forward hoe this program will develop. gorgeous work!
Have I&K ever skated their full programs at the test skate? I know they didn't last year, and the year before they skated their FD to different music. I don't remember if they showed up when they were with Zhulin. IMO it's unacceptable for them not to be showing up ready by now considering they always struggle on the GP. They are just not the types to get a late start but then show up in shape at competitions. B&S are usually one of the first ice dancers to show their programs, even internationally.
Really curious to see Stepanova/Bukin now.
thanks for the videos, by the way.
don't know what to think of monko/khaliavins free dance.
i really likes this couple but i don't know if this is the right vehicle for them. let's see how it will develop thoughout the season?
was volchkovas group at the test skates? i so badly want to see anything of biryukova. any updates on her? or better-videos?
Me too .Curious to see how they do in seniors
I/k did fantastically in the gp in 2012! They were great from gp to euros then collapsed astoundingly at worlds.
Their results were good but their skating wasn't that great... they fell at Crystal skate and again at CoR... at NHK they struggled because she was sick (it was one of the better examples of them rallying) and went on to finish last at GPF. They were getting good marks but didn't capitalize on it til Euros, and then somehow lost all momentum at Worlds. They are completely unreliable.
double post
Last year I/K and all of Morozov's skated did closed test skates for the Federation in August as they were due to be training in the US when the main test skates were scheduled. They also showed up when they worked with Zhulin - I remember TAT complaining that Zhulin hadn't bothered to come with them.
They are unreliable and should should have changed coaches after worlds 2013 but before that I guess I did not get your definition of "struggle" which meant to me like not medaling at a gp or not even making the gpf like previous seasons.
Radionova's SP is very very good. And her body language is surprisingly similar to Carolina's. Big improvement during the summer!
This. They were very overmarked last season, showed very little progression, and on top of it were saddled with one of the worst free dances in recent history. Just having the potential should not be earning them high PCS marks. They were so bad at Worlds they should have rightfully been behind Z/G & R/T.
Ah what a treat to see all these vids just before the season begins!
Really liked Sotnikova's SP. She's a wonderful performer, I love it. Overall there isn't really anything about her skating that I don't like. The final spin was sort of voidy.
As before, Radionova's presence endlessly impresses me. She can showcase so many different emotions in her skating, especially considering her age. She's not always smiling or always angsty or whatever. She actually listens to the music and is obviously trying to portray a story of some kind whenever she skates. I loved the SP, she has such gorgeous lines (with the exception of her shoulders at times... the only thing that bothers me a little bit) and she knows how to use them. The extension is amazing. Also really enjoyed the last minute of the FS when she was rockin' it. I love that she's a bit of a voidy arteeste type, obviously.
Lipnitskaia's SP is a clear improvement! It seems like she's actually listening to the music at least a bit every now and then... and the number of bendy movements has gone down to only a couple. She's nowhere near the natural performer that Radionova is though.
Ah, Bobrova/Soloviev's FD has such void potential! Birds? Can't wait to see the costumes! I think I could really really love this free. The SD was a bit of a bore though but it'll probably get better.
Fedorova has grown so much! Their height difference is looking normal for a pair now. Jumps were nowhere to be seen, unfortunately. Hopefully she can overcome that! The entry into the throw looked all kinds of wrong.
They showed enormous progression until worlds! They were not flawless all the time and did have one of the worst free dances of all time if not the worst but did make enormous strides and progression and almost winning Euros! They almost won Euros over B/S even with what was considered by many the worst free dance of all time. They had a major collapse at worlds and failed there but no where else. Now they should have changed coaches but didn't.
Look at their base technical scores. It was highest at their first two GP events; every event after Rostelecom Cup and NHK their base TES scores were at least 2 pts less. That's not really progression when you are losing points on things like footwork sequences throughout the season.
I am sorry, but I find that frustrating when it is clear how talented and amazing they could be. Watching them in practice at Worlds it was clear how easily they seemed to lose focus and concentration.
Their almost winning Euros (with their overscored PCS) was more politics than prowess with P/B out with injury. Perhaps they felt too confident coming into Worlds that they would place higher and that ended up working against them and they weren't prepared as they should have been? They skated well at Euros, but not vastly superior to any of the other finishers in the top four. And, yes, they won the free dance, but with easier content than they started the season with. (Like winning the Olympics without a quad! )
As for a coaching change, well... all I can say is that I'm sure we all hope Elena comes to her senses.

Hey subaru nation,
Im new to the forums and not even a WRX owner... YET. but my 2013 has an eta of 10/5. Please excuse me if these questions are answered already in the forums, I did some searching and did not find exaclty what i needed. Anyways.. as for my actual questions...
How soon can I flash my new car to stage one? from what i have read i feel like i need the car to be at stage one cause the factory tuning is poor. but can i do it right away or should i give the car a break in period before i go reformatting its computer?
Do i need any mods to go hand-in-hand with the stage one? or can it go straight from stock to stage one?
What are the major differences i will feel from stock to stage one?
And I have never tuned a car before but i am pretty computer literate and mechanically inclined.. would it be possible for me to buy a tactrix cable and do this myself? I would like to be able to so i can save some time and money and there are no tuners in my area that im aware of.
From what ive seen you guys are all very helpful answering questions so thank you in advance for any help!
1) It doesn't void shit
2) Warrantees on sports cars are suspect to begin with. "Abuse" can be claimed on a totally untouched car. happens every day
3) They won't know if you use an AP or not. You can re-flash to stock if you have to take it in.

The second installment, this one produced in just under five days as a part of the Target 144 initiative (which itself was a part of the Sticky Institute's program for International Literary Conspiracy Week in February 2009). I... didn't sleep much that week, and my hands were covered in pink by the end of it. Not as long as the last one, and done with a less righteously indignant tone. Also, it has more leg (if a bit blurry).

Well I have put a few posts out there of a few things I have been working on towards completion of my ROTJ Boba Fett build. I figured I needed to just start a WIP thread to just keep everything in one place to make things easier.
I have slowly been in the construction phase for quite a while. I have been working on my Boba along with my wife's Boushh costume, which I just completed. http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/f68/boushh-wip-47893/
My goal in starting this was I wanted to make everything from the ground up & make it as accurate as possible within my means. I have done things somewhat different in the way of construction than what I have seen in the past as far as scratch builds go. Here is the run down of where I am at current.
Helmet & Range Finder: I started with a pepakura file (Skip) & did some modifcations using WOF & Raf's templates. I have layered the cardstock shell with architectural cardboard to make it rigid and have used smooth cast to tie it all together. I am still in the prep phase at this time. I purchased a real Borden connector to put on the right cheek. I am also working on a LED set up for the range finder. This is in the roughing in stage.
Jetpack: I started with a couple of different pepakura files (skip & Soba). I also used WOF templates with some mods here and there. Similar construction as stated above. I made the beacon & the stabilizer both from scratch. The beacon is a 3/4 inch copper tube that I did some black smithing on. The stabilizer was made from a pen, micrometer thimble, & some architectural cardboard. This is still in the roughing in stage. http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/f20/p...jetpack-47919/
Gauntlets: I did the gauntlets in pepakura as well (Skip). I used WOF templates to create a 3D model of the rocket & made a pep file from it. I made the MQ-1 keyboard from scratch using the buttons from 2 watch calculators. I made the darts from ink pens & paper clips. I made the hose fittings on the right gauntlet from air fittings that I soldered brake line fittings to. I did some grinding on them to make them look accurate. All painting & weathering was done by myself. I have a few finishing touches to do on them to be considered complete. http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/f25/f...ett-wip-46463/
Armor: This is a mixed bag. I can't remember when but a number of years ago prior to really getting the word that you need to stay away from ebay. I bought some sintra armor there. Wasn't very good but I am working on it to make it work for me. I decided to use the chest, ab, & shoulders from this set & possibly the cod & back plate. I opted not to use the knees, collar, & back armor. The pieces that I reworked I used a heat gun to reshape them to fit me. In doing so I rounded the edges to help give depth and not make them look flat. Also used the heat gun to put in the dents & damage.
I made the knees from scratch. I drew them up in cad creating a 3D model using WOF templates as a base. Then made them up using pepakura with similar construction as above.
The collar & back armor were made using pepakura. I found a pep file (Prince) & re-modelled it to make it more accurate by adding the side sections. Also similar process as above. I did go thicker on these 2 items in making them 3/16 inch thick.
All the armor pieces are almost ready for paint except the cod & back plate.
EE-3 Blaster: I had a complete build thread on this which was all done as a scratch build. (Build thread)
Jumpsuit, flak vest, ankle spats, belt pounches, ammo belt, gloves & boots are all MOW. I need to dye & weather them at this point.
Wookie braids & cape are Woodman.
Girth belt: I have this & plan on dyeing it myself.

I may be in the minority - but I hate the pale red dash/instrument lighting that BMW has used for decades. I think the M cars have white lighting (which I prefer) but the rest use the same red from 1980.
I haven't looked at the brand new 3 series - I hope they've changed it.
Now a days a VW or Hyundai or Kia has much better dash/instrument lighting.
Anyone else feel this way?

Fall's Flirtiest Flats
Seventeen Style Council Olivia says, "My favorite summer trend are cut-outs in bright, bold colors. I find that they are a quirky but modest way to show off summer skin. I got this Finders & Friends romper from Karmaloop.com!"
"I'm loving this infinitely wearable cut-out top from Alice + Olivia—especially now that it's warm out! I paired it with worn-in Earnest Sewn jeans, but I also love throwing it on with cut-off jean shorts or white jeans all summer long. The little pop of peek-a-boo skin gives you just a hint of sexiness," says Seventeen Web Editor Jessica.

Quick! Repost the video! I'm really interested to see how this is done.
For those who aren't aware, NetBIOS as used in Windows(tm) brand OSes, at least through XP Service Pack 3, have a multi-step name resolution process. If a particular name is not found via DNS lookup, the system will query the local subnet's NetBIOS for a match. As such, if we have access to an interface on the local subnet (via source routing or a GRE tunnel) we can potentially redirect misspelled names to ourselves (or non-existent names, in some cases).
Note: This type of attack is not exactly unique to windows. Under linux, the nsswitch.conf file can be configured to query all sorts of directory services to locate machines. While the video doesn't demonstrate "poisoning" a linux client, a system with a configuration to query the local subnet for a name could also be created. See the /etc/nsswitch.conf man pages, and google pages.
First, the script ( which can be downloaded at http://aconole.brad-x.com/nbnspoof.py ) is a simple python + scapy script to watch for netbios name query traffic on an interface; if the name matches the supplied regex, the script simply generates a response.
EDIT: Re-introducing the video once I clean it up - realized I had some personal stuff on the Desktop.

I don't see a video and it appears the first post was edited quite some time ago.
