Hello ztechnik,
As I understand it the Ishapore Enfields were not conversions of older rifles but new manufacture of the early design made with modern steel, heat treat, and more roast beef in the receivers.

Hello ztechnik,
As I understand it the Ishapore Enfields were not conversions of older rifles but new manufacture of the early design made with modern steel, heat treat, and more roast beef in the receivers.
Okay looked it up and it is only .015 bigger where it counts on .308, and .035 from .303, so it might be worth consideration, might not. Just throwing it out there.
i allways thought they were converted and beefed up somehow
i put the 2 together and it did look like different recievers
guess i shouldave read my enfield collecter book better
thanks for clearing it up for me
and thanks 486
sounds like its possible to do it on the 308 one then
but whats the availability on them now?
they usta be around a lot in klintons time and fairly cheap too
hate to butcher mine up without another
Hello zteknik,
There is one Ishapore .308 Enfield on gb.com at about $300.oo now. Not same, same price as old days.
At that price level I would likely customise a Mosin-Nagant into a "Russian Jungle Carbine". Hey, it's a jungle out there !!!
Hello zteknik,
My 4 year old Numrich GPC catalog shows some Jungle Carbine front sight/flash cone assemblies (with and w/o bayo lug). They attach with two pins to the barrel. ITEM#254060 has bayo lug, the sight blade is extra...
ITEM#852300 is same assembly less bayo lug for less $. These are cast steel items (not pot metal caca).
Welcome to Numrich Gun Parts Corp. (customer service link)
Hello zteknik,
The Enfield box mag is too wide for the Mosin-nagant receiver. The MN uses a single stack mag in that very narrow receiver. The MN mag perhaps could be re-shaped a bit to resemble the Brit profile.
hey vd
you think its possible to make one of those 10 rond sks mags work?
if i remember correctly there single stack
but i think the leangth of the top is too long where it fits into the sks reciever
and im not sure if you shorten it would it function properly
id have to pull them out and compare
anyway sorry to trx for hijacking your thread !
well give it back to him and if i have anymore toughts on the "jungle naggant" ill post a new thread-and if ya have any more thoughts on it pm me so we dont tie up trxs thread
I got as far as buying a bolt assembly, then gave the receiver to a friend. He'll be sending a barrel and other parts for me to finish it up in .405 Winchester, and a second barrel for 7.62x54R. I've never done a switchbarrel job before; I'll probably cheat and use a nut like the Savage-based actions.

This 15ft upward-angle VGA cable is designed to support the highest resolutions and highest video quality possible through VGA while fitting perfectly in tight connection spaces. The cable features one standard VGA connector (HD15) and one VGA connector (HD15) that is situated on an upward angle relative to the shaft of the cable, requiring only 32.4mm of space at the connection point. Suited for high resolution VGA applications (1280x1024 and above), this high quality coaxial VGA cable eliminates picture "ghosting" and fuzzy images inherent to non-coaxial cables, and provides superior EMI interference protection using ferrite cores near the connector ends.

text: Do you honestly believe that any former MVP would willingly go to the bench? If you do, name them. I'll do what I can to track them down, buy them a couple of drinks and get a truthful answer from them to find out for sure. Do you honestly believe that any player that is merely one badly coached season from being in the top ten in both points and (I believe) assists would easily agree to go to Memphis automatically knowing that he would be going to the bench? Not San Antonio. Not the Lakers. Not the Celtics. Memphis. Or New York. Or Oklahoma City. Or a bunch of other teams where you are simply the better player. You don't lose the starting position, you are not even considered for the starting position. That's ridiculous. You think Ray Allen was thrilled when they suggested that he come off the bench in Seattle? You think Hamilton is going to be happy when he's shipped off to a team that isn't willing to change their primary offense around to suit him? I think he's going to find out that a starter in Detroit isn't necessarily a starter elsewhere, much like Allen found out that a starter elsewhere, isn't necessarily one in Detroit. Remember this: the notion of Allen coming off the bench wasn't even bandied about until he got to Detroit. Michael Curry is now the pulse of NBA coaching? Personally, if that was an idea of Michael's, as another coach, I would go in the opposite direction, just because. One last question. Do you honestly believe that Allen thought it would or should be a situation of either him or Hamilton? I think both in question thought and couldn't believe that it wasn't Stuckey that went back to the bench.

There is an ongoing discussion in this thread on our forum regarding ER&G and some new restrictions on their shooting range.
According to the club's website:
In an effort to reduce noise leaving the club grounds, all semi-automatic medium to large caliber rifles are to use the upper range. Only two shooters at a time and no more than 10 rounds in 30 seconds per shooter with a 1 minute pause between shooters/ magazine changes. We are trying to be proactive about the noise before it becomes an issue. Your support is greatly appreciated."
Many of the club's members are unhappy with these new rules and question the validity of the reasoning.
There is a club meeting on Thursday, August 5, 2010 at 7pm. The club's address is 6275 Laird Road, Jordan, NY 13080. Click here for a map. If you're a member of the club and would like to find out more about the new rules and share your opinion on them you are encouraged to join some other NYFirearms.com members who will be attending the meeting.

What Are Substantially Equal Periodic Payments?
So, you've gotten the itch, haven't you? Maybe it's Belize, Rome, London? You're looking to retire early and travel. Or maybe it's to spend time with a family member, or to simply pursue your hobbies? Hey, it's all good, it's possible. We'll talk about a variety of ways in this post.
Well, what are substantially equal periodic payments (SEPP)? They refer to a stipulation within the Internal Revenue Code called 72t. It's a section that talks about the exceptions when pulling form your retirement account early. There are a handful of different requirements, but the basics are: the distributions must follow specific methods (1 of the 3 approved by the IRS), they must be over the course of 5 years or until you turn 59 1/2 years old (whichever is last), and you can't stop the process once it's begun (so you have to plan ahead and make sure you're good to go).
Most websites online offer a 72t calculator, but that's not the only step you need to take. It takes a little more planning to avoid the 10% withdrawal fee and meet all of the requirements. This is a huge plus, since it saves you so much money, but it's very, very important to plan and execute it flawlessly.

By Joe Brewin
Robin van Persie says his lack of injuries over the last 12 months has lifted a weight from his shoulders.
The striker's sensational calendar year saw him notch his 35th Premier League goal against QPR on Saturday - a new Club record.
Van Persie's previous seasons in an Arsenal shirt have been hampered by fitness issues and the Dutchman has never felt better than he does right now.
"That is the main thing," he said. "I could play relaxed and enjoy myself. I could go from strength to strength. I could feel that every single game I was getting fitter and better, which is an unbelievable feeling.
"I have had some knocks in the past but 2011 was clear with no injuries and I could enjoy myself. I was playing, having fun – as everyone could see.
"Not long ago I wasn't even convinced I could play as a main striker. So I was not [expecting so many goals] at all but stuff like this happens when you are feeling relaxed and enjoying the game."
Van Persie's new milestone surpassed Thierry Henry's 34-goal haul back in 2004 and the captain has targeted Alan Shearer's total of 36 as his next step in 2012.
"Thierry, is in my opinion, Arsenal's best ever player," he said. "He set that record, is an unbelievable player but on this one, I have just beat him! I fell one short of Shearer's record but maybe next year.
"I am a sportsman, you want to achieve the highest. My main thing is to win games but I want to achieve the highest possible.
"This was one thing I could achieve a little more than Thierry in one year but just short of Shearer. You can look at it in many ways.
"It has been a great year, thanks to my team-mates, mainly. I could not have done it without them. They have been unbelievable. Theo has given me so many assists. All the players have been absolutely fantastic."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

And, by the way, just cause the season is over doesn't mean stuff has to shut off. Don't want folks thinkin that the Illinois boys are nuthin but a bunch of topwater mofos.

Utility Shut-Offs by Utility Companies for Landlord Nonpayment
Authored By: Texas RioGrande Legal Aid
- Read this in:
- Spanish / Español
If a utility company disconnects service or gives written notice that service is about to be cut off because a landlord who is supposed to furnish utilities has not paid the utility bill, then the landlord is liable to the tenant regardless of whether the unit is "all bills paid," submetered, or mastermetered. If this happens, you can terminate the lease in writing and move out within 30 days of receiving the first notice, as long as the landlord has not presented evidence that the utility bill has been paid prior to your termination. Be sure to give your notice in writing, date it, and keep a copy for your records along with any proof of your having delivered the notice.
If you properly terminate the lease and are planning to move, you may deduct your security deposit from your last month's rent and sue for actual damages (such as moving expenses), court costs, and attorney fees. You would have two years within which to file such a lawsuit.
Of course, rather than terminate the lease, you could try to avoid the cutoff by reconnecting the utility in your name and deducting the amounts paid to the utility company from your rent. If you live in an apartment complex, you may have to organize most of the tenants of the complex in order to be able to negotiate successfully with the utility company. If you deduct your payment of the landlord's utility bill from your rent, you must submit a copy of the receipt from the utility company showing the payment you made to reconnect or avoid cutoff of the utilities.
These tenant remedies cease if, before the tenant has terminated the lease or filed a lawsuit, the landlord provides the tenant with written evidence from the utility company that all delinquent sums have been paid in full.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Revival because this is a fun topic...
These are useful facts, but not for us layman.
Stars don't actually twinkle. That is caused by our atmosphere.
If the estimated size of VY Canis Majoris is true, that star's surface would extend past the orbit of Saturn in our system. To put into perspective, over a billion of our Sun would fit into this massive star.
You can fit about a million Earths in the Sun.
There is about 1 trillion galaxies in the known Universe. Each of these galaxies contain billions of stars. Each of those stars could have multiple planets orbiting them.
Europa, a moon of Jupiter, is slightly smaller than our own moon, yet has in upwards of 3 times the volume of water as that of Earth's.
Voyager 1 and 2 are still sending information back to Earth. They are currently heading to the edges of the Heliosheath (the very limits of our Sun's influence). Basically put, they are about to be truly in space. Oh, and they are both traveling many times the speed of sound.

What's more amazing are F1 engines. They produce 700+ HP from 2.4L (146 cubic-inch) natural aspirated (non-turbo or supercharged) V8s. They rev to 18,000 RPM (higher than sportbikes). They run on unleaded gasoline, not nitro methanol. They do an entire 2 hour race on one tank of fuel. The engines have to last for several complete race weekends, including testing, qualifying, and the race. These engines likely do up to about 1000 km before being replaced. F1 cars can pull up to 5g in a corner and at least that under braking.

As the two cups of water cooled to the temp of the freezer, the hotter cup would have lost heat a lot faster initially.
So if you started with a cup of water at 0 degrees (that was totally in a liquid state), and a cup of water at 79 degrees and put them in equal environments, the cold cup would barely be frozen solid as the first ice crystals were forming in the warm cup.
I always found these interestin,concerning NHRA top fuel dragsters
* One Top Fuel dragster 500 cubic-inch Hemi engine makes more horsepower (8,000 HP) than the first 4 rows of cars at the Daytona 500.
* Under full throttle, a dragster engine consumes 11.2 gallons of nitro methane per second; a fully loaded 747 consumes jet fuel at the same rate with 25% less energy being produced.
* A stock Dodge Hemi V8 engine cannot produce enough power to merely drive the dragster's supercharger.
* With 3000 CFM of air being rammed in by the supercharger on overdrive, the fuel mixture is compressed into a near-solid form before ignition. Cylinders run on the verge of hydraulic lock at full throttle.
* At the stoichiometric 1.7:1 air/fuel mixture for nitro methane the flame front temperature measures 7050 degrees F.
* Nitro methane burns yellow. The spectacular white flame seen above the stacks at night is raw burning hydrogen, dissociated from atmospheric water vapor by the searing exhaust gases.
* Dual magnetos supply 44 amps to each spark plug. This is the output of an arc welder in each cylinder.
* Spark plug electrodes are totally consumed during a pass. After 1/2 way, the engine is dieseling from compression plus the glow of exhaust valves at 1400 degrees F. The engine can only be shut down by cutting the fuel flow.
* If spark momentarily fails early in the run, unburned nitro builds up in the affected cylinders and then explodes with sufficient force to blow cylinder heads off the block in pieces or split the block in half.
* Dragsters reach over 300 MPH before you have completed reading this sentence.
* In order to exceed 300 MPH in 4.5 seconds, dragsters must accelerate an average of over 4 G's. In order to reach 200 MPH well before half-track, the launch acceleration approaches 8 G's.
* Top Fuel engines turn approximately 540 revolutions from light to light!
* Including the burnout, the engine must only survive 900 revolutions under load.
* The redline is actually quite high at 9500 RPM.
* THE BOTTOM LINE: Assuming all the equipment is paid off, the crew worked for free, & for once, NOTHING BLOWS UP, each run costs an estimated $1,000 per second.
0 to 100 MPH in .8 seconds (the first 60 feet of the run)
0 to 200 MPH in 2.2 seconds (the first 350 feet of the run)
6 g-forces at the starting line (nothing accelerates faster on land)
6 negative g-forces upon deployment of twin 祖hutes at 300 MPH An NHRA Top Fuel Dragster accelerates quicker than any other land vehicle on earth quicker than a jet fighter plane . . . quicker than the space shuttle.
The current Top Fuel dragster elapsed time record is 4.420 seconds for the quarter-mile (2004, Doug Kalitta). The top speed record is 337.58 MPH as measured over the last 66' of the run (2005, Tony Schumacher).
Putting this all into perspective:
You are driving the average $140,000 Lingenfelter twin-turbo powered Corvette Z06. Over a mile up the road, a Top Fuel dragster is staged & ready to launch down a quarter-mile strip as you pass. You have the advantage of a flying start. You run the 'Vette hard up through the gears and blast across the starting line & pass the dragster at an honest 200 MPH. The 'tree' goes green for both of you at that moment.
The dragster launches & starts after you. You keep your foot down hard, but you hear an incredibly brutal whine that sears your eardrums & within 3 seconds the dragster catches & passes you. He beats you to the finish line, a quarter-mile away from where you just passed him.

We are currently in an Ice Age that began over 2.5 million years ago. We are in an inter-glacial period which means we are experiencing above average temperatures. Scientists don't know if the green house effect will put us in a glacial period or take us out of the Ice Age.
About 3% of the world's water is fresh and 21% of it is in the Great Lakes.
Koala's are not bears. They are marsupials and common to marsupials the males have a double pronged penis and females two vaginas; one for reproduction and the other for urinating.
The world's most deadliest creature (not animal) is the mosquito. It's responsible for millions of deaths due to disease transmission.
Only female mosquitoes feed on blood which is used as a protein source for the eggs. Males feed on nectar and plant juices.

Box Score
BUFFALO, N.Y. – The No. 3 Big Red men's lacrosse team scored 10 unanswered goals over the final 19 minutes of play to blow open what had been a tightly contested game to eventually take an 18-7 victory at the Demske Sports Complex in Buffalo, N.Y. Rob Pannell led the Big Red with four goals and four assists. His final assist of the day matched the school record for career assists (164), tying him with the late, great Eamon McEneaney '77.
With the victory, its 10th straight against the Golden Griffs, Cornell improves to 4-0 to open the season with four consecutive wins for the first time since the 2010 campaign.
Also registering multiple points for the Big Red was Connor Buczek (one goal, three assists), Matt Donovan (three goals), Max Van Bourdondien (two goals, one assist) and Dan Lintner (two goals). Additionally, both sophomore defender Jordan Stevens and freshman Sean Doyle added their first collegiate goals.
Canisius (0-3) was led by Austin Romantic with two goals, while Tim Edwards and Brandon Bull both added one goal and one assist apiece.
Cornell held the significant edge in shots (57-28), including a 31-13 advantage in shots on goal. The Big Red also had more ground balls (33-26) and won more face-offs (18-of-27). Doug Tesoriero was solid with 16-of-22 wins and seven ground balls.
While the final score and the statistics seemed to overwhelmingly favor Cornell, the game did not start that way, as early turnovers and solid goaltending by Canisius' Alex Govenettio, who finished with 13 saves, made it a back-and-forth battle through three quarters.
The Big Red got off to a solid start defensively by killing off a 6-on-4 man-down chance by the Golden Giffs, but moments after it ended Vince Gravino got the home team on the board as he beat his defender to the crease and scored from point-blank range to make it a 1-0 game at the 10:51 mark. Just under three minutes later, an unsettled situation led to a goal by Romantic to put the home team up 2-0.
After several near misses by the Big Red, Van Bourgondien finally got Cornell on the board with a 15-yard rocket from the left wing with 6:51 to play in the first quarter. Pannell then tied the game up on an unassisted goal, but Edwards returned the lead to Canisius with a goal as time wound down in the quarter to send the Griffs into the first intermission with the 3-2 lead.
Cornell wasted little time in taking control of the second quarter, with the first of four consecutive goals coming from Lintner, off a pass from Pannell, with just 44 seconds gone. Pannell then scored the next two tallies for the Big Red with the first coming on a great individual effort at 11:55 before sweeping around the cage and registering an unassisted goal just over one minute later. Lintner then closed the run, converting a pass from Buczek on the doorstep, to make it a 6-3 game with 9:08 to go before the half.
Canisius fought back, scoring four of the next six goals to close the second and open the third quarters and get back into the contest. Bull started the comeback for Canisius as he scored off a pass from Edwards to pull the Griffs to 6-4 as the teams headed into halftime and a goal in the opening moments of the third quarter by Kevin Lalley made it a one-goal game (6-5).
John Edmonds buried a shot at the 10:48 mark, off a pass from Pannell, to give the two-point cushion back to the visitors but Joe Rautenstauch made it a one-goal game again (7-6) as he beat two Big Red defenders, streaked to the crease and beat Fiore one-on-one.
O'Neil took a pass from Buczek and rifled a shot into the net from 15-yards out, but exactly two minutes later, Romantic beat his defender and scored again on the doorstop to make it an 8-7 game with 4:53 remaining in the third quarter.
That was as good as it would get for the home team as the Big Red embarked on the decisive run.
Some nifty ball movement set up Cornell's next goal as Pannell took the ball behind the cage and then found Mock up top, who converted to make it a 9-7 game with just under four minutes to play in the quarter.
Pannell connected on a turn-around jump shot with seven second to go in the third to give the Big Red back-to-back goals for the first time since early in the second quarter and sent Cornell into the final intermission with a 10-7 lead.
Van Bourgondien scored just 76 seconds into the fourth quarter to give the visitors the largest lead of the game (11-7) and from there the floodgates opened.
A loose ball near midfield turned into a Cornell goal as Stevens caused a Canisius turnover, picked up the ball, raced past everyone and beat Govenettio up high to put Cornell up, 12-7, with his first career goal.
The Giffins earned a man-up opportunity but an AJ Fiore save, his sixth and final of the game, sent the ball the other way and Donovan scored a man-down goal off of a brilliant pass by Van Bourgondien to put the visitors up by six goals. Donovan took a late hit right after he scored and went on to tally a man-up goal 23 seconds later off a pass from Buczek. Donovan then completed a natural hat-trick in a span of just under two minutes with an unassisted goal at the 7:53 mark.
Buczek blasted a shot past Govenettio in a 6-on-4 man-up situation, with the assist going to Pannell, as the senior matched the school record.
Doyle got his first collegiate goal with a stellar goal while getting knocked to the ground and Chris Cook scored just 30 seconds later to account for the 18-7 final.
The Big Red is back in action this weekend as it will face its toughest test yet, travelling to No. 8 Virginia on Saturday, March 9 for a contest 1 p.m.

Hey all- I have really been getting motivated by the story-line of the CW cartoon series this season. As we watch w/ intent as Anakin and Asokas characters evolve, facilitating great speculation and wonder...when will the RISE of BOBA begin? Any thoughts and insigit on this would make for a great thread.
Lets hear it guys

At the Little Three Championships, the women's team will look to defend its fourth consecutive team title while the men's team will bring their five-year reign as Little Three Champions to Veterans Memorial Park.
"It's a different kind of race. There are only maybe thirty kids in each race so the spotlight is really on you," said men and women's cross country head coach Pete Osmond. "The kids are really looking forward to it and hopefully we get another crown."
The women's team enters the field after a ninth-place team finish at the National Catholic Championships hosted by the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Ind. on Sept. 16. In the women's field of 272 runners, senior Christine Mulvihill recorded the team's best performance, finishing in 23rd place with a time of 18:17.
"Christine Mulvihill ran the fastest time I have had at Notre Dame in my nine years. That was pretty exciting," said Osmond. "We are still pretty strong up to the fourth. We are kind of weak at the fifth and sixth spot but the girls know what to do and we are getting there."
In addition to Mulvihill's performance for the women's team, senior Jill Shea set a 5K-career best of 18:47 to finish 48th overall.
In the men's race at the National Catholic Championships, the men's squad finished 13th among 31 teams. For the second straight week, freshman Chad Maloy led the Griffs with a time of 25:42 to finish 40th among 255 competitors. At the event, Maloy managed to knock more than a minute off his previous week's performance at the Duquesne Duals.
"On the men's side everyone looks great, everything is clicking. Everyone is going right along just the way we expected it to," said Osmond.
The emergence of the freshmen for both the men and women's teams shows promise for races to come. At the National Catholic Championships, freshmen Maloy, Christopher Sauvageau, Andrew Coy, Morgan Atkins, and Brandi Pettit each set new career-bests.
"They are fine, they are perfect. They are right where they are supposed to be. There are improvements and that is all I need to see," stated Osmond.

text: The big thing we need to see from Knight is that he keeps improving. In February he has a 2.14/1 assist to turnover ratio, which is significantly better than where he was early in the year. In addition, comparing February to January+December, his FG%, 3-pt%, eFG%, TS%, assists, and ppg are up, while turnovers and fouls are down. To be fair, the competition wasn't as good, but those kind of increases (in one month!) are the kinds we want to see. I agree with what others have said - at least give him an off-season to gel with his teammates and a decent outside shooter to actually pass to, then evaluate him. Until then, just watch and recognize that he's young and he's going to be inconsistent.

The past few weeks I've been working on my awesome Bobamaker armor and have been EXTREMELY happy with the results. I feel that with the experience I've gained painting up my bucket, I've gotten a better grasp of not only how to effectively use the airbrush, but how to get MUCH more accurate stenciling done.
But this won't just be an ordinary WIP thread. I'd really like to share a "tutorial", if you will, of how I got the stenciling just right, and how I add in every little detail I can possibly see using the hundreds of reference photos from the Art of Star Wars Museum exhibit. Also, a BIG thanks to terminalfettlter for suggesting the colors. So, lets get started:
Assuming you've prepped and primed your armor (mine already came like that), first, put 2-3 coats of Humbrol no. 11 Silver on.
Once COMPLETELY DRY, we can start stenciling in the silver damage.
Now, before we can trace from our computer monitors, we have to obviously scale our reference pictures to our armor's size. One thing I will give Bobamaker credit for is that his armor dimensions are very close to what you see in the reference pictures, thus making this part of the job very easy. I use whats called a "micrometer" at my workplace. Being in the Old Guard, our unit has to have our dress uniforms absolutely PERFECT in regards to the measurements of where our awards and unit ciations are placed. This 6 inch stainless steel ruler measures at both 1/32 and 1/64 if an inch, so this thing is SUPER accurate. I believe you can pick them up at lowes.
So, using photoshop, you get your reference pictures scaled to how big your armor is by measuring your armor's sides and then how it sizes up on the monitor. NOW we're ready to trace!
Cut out a small piece of tracing paper, and use painter's tape (won't leave residue on your monitor) to attach it over the section you wish to trace. Then, using a drafting pencil, CAREFULLY trace the OUTER portion of the damage, on the line. Now the reason I say trace the outer portion is so you don't overlap the actual image, thus making it smaller when you transfer it.
Next, match up the stencil to your armor, and by using your trusty micrometer measure out where the distance is from the top/side of the damage to the edges of the armor. This will gauge proper placement/positioning of the tracing to get the most accurate stencil:
So how are we going to transfer that image onto our armor? Well, I believe I've found a method that gets you probably the most accurate results. Its called "Graphite Transfer Paper", and I found this at PEARL arts and crafts. I'm sure they have this stuff at most Michael's and other art stores:
Before I was using the trace method where you would trace the image from your monitor, flip the paper, trace over that with a pencil, and then flip it over AGAIN. Not only are you already 2 traces away from the actual image, creating a less accurate representation of it, but half the time the transfer won't even APPLY! Not with this stuff. This graphite paper will give you a guaranteed transfer EVERY time, and plus, it cuts stenciling time in half!
So once you have your trace in position, CAREFULLY hold it in place while sliding the graphite paper (dark side down of course) underneath. This ensures you don't lose you're spot on the armor:
Now, tape them BOTH down so that when you trace its secure:
Now here's the key part to transfering...trace just outside the lines. Why? Because if you trace the lines exactly, you're actually making the transfer smaller than what it really is. Plus, when you have to use the masking fluid to mask up the silver layer, you need to stay inside the lines which will make it smaller to begin with. Hope that made sense.
And voila! A perfect transfer of the damage you just traced from your monitor!
Now just spend the next few hours obsessively scaling your armor and tinkering with the proper placement of the damage stencils, and mask off all that silver damage. Don't worry about the tiny scratches and nicks, those will be scratched through using a compass needle or small paintbrush:
Don't overwork yourself too hard...
That's it for now. I'll post up my progress with the yellow a bit later. Hope this was able to help a few guys out starting their armor. I'm really striving for perfection on this piece folks, and from experience with this I can tell you that getting EVERY detail perfect is nerve-racking. But, I think it'll be worth it in the end.
Stay tuned.

Yes they would hatch out chickens and take care of them they wouldent know better till they tried to take them for a swim lol. Just like you can have a chicken or turkey hatch out ducks. I have had turkeys hatch out ducks and chickensAngi
Good information Angi and Brian. I have decided that I don't want her to be raising any babies yet. We are only getting two duck eggs a day (and I love duck eggs too much to let her keep them). Our other ducks won't be laying for another two months. So....if I keep taking the eggs away from this little Muscovey will this scar her for life, ;) :) What I am trying to say is: 1. will she eventually go unbroody if she has no eggs beneath her.
2. will this cause her terrible trauma if I keep taking away her eggs.
3. Is it necessary to let her fulfill her need to brood or can we be the powers to be that allow her to go broody or not?
I always worry about emotional trauma with the birds, kind of weird, but I have these feelings and I can't put them by the wayside, I need to know these answers, pleeeeeeze. Have the best and most wonderful days, Cindi
I had 1 bantum hen set three consecutive clutches of wooden eggs before she gave up and waited about 2 months before turning broody again. Personally I think broodiness is something to encourage--it is an instinct that is being bred out of a lot of bird types from Parakeets to Turkeys and Geese. Some Breeds of turkeys and chickens have to be artificially inseminated in order to propagate and artificial incubation is the norm. Some breeds of pigeons have been bred for specific traits to the point that their beak is so small it can't feed its own young. In those cases the eggs are fostered out to a different breed of bird until they reach adult size.
I live in Hanson, Mass, birthplace of Ocean Spray Cranberries. I joke that you can't drive in a straight line anywhere around here cuz you have to go around so many bogs or flumes! I make my own sauce, too, every Thanksgiving, and I freeze small meal sized portions of what's left over for use over the year. I love whole cranberry sauce!

Arsenal Football Club has no property debts anymore and, from now on, any revenue raised from sales is "available for re-investment".
When the Club took on the Emirates Stadium project, they decided to develop both their former ground at Highbury and a further site at Queensland Road. Both ventures required considerable investment but, speaking to the Arsenal Supporters Trust on Monday, CEO Ivan Gazidis revealed that this shortfall had been cleared leaving nothing but "pure profit" from now on.
"When I spoke to you last year we had about £120million of debt on Highbury Square and I remember a lot of the questions revolved around that and our property development activity," he said.
"We have put a lot of focus behind that and I am pleased to announce that Highbury Square is now debt-free. So now every sale of an apartment at Highbury Square is generating profits for the Club that come back in and are available for reinvestment.
"The other thing that has happened has been Queensland Road on the south side of the Stadium. The affordable housing part of that development has been sold to a developer so we are entirely debt-free on the property side.
"It means that sales on the remaining property developments that we have in and around the south side of the stadium will be pure profit to the Club that will come into the group and be available for use."
- Queensland Road is a development at the south end of Emirates Stadium. It will consist of residential buildings, including affordable housing, and an Arsenal Sports Centre.
- Flats are still available at Highbury Square. Visit www.Arsenal.com/highburysquare for details

In their final dual of the regular season, the Canisius College men's and women's swimming and diving teams will head south to face SUNY Fredonia on Saturday morning at the Steele Hall Natatorium. The dual will mark the first time the two schools will meet since the 1989-90 season.
Last Time Out for Canisius
This past weekend, the Golden Griffin men and women swept MAAC rival Niagara on Saturday afternoon at the Oxy Aquatic Center. The Griff men captured their sixth dual-win in their last seven meets, defeating the host Purple Eagles, 168.5-72.5. After falling the previous week to 19th nationally-ranked Gannon, the Griff women bounced back with a 147-96 victory.
The Golden Griffin women secured nine first-place honors in the individual events, including a top finish in the 400-yard medley relay. Winning a pair of races each were junior Anna Schena and freshman Clare Battaglia. Schena captured first place in the 1000-yard freestyle (10:58.88) and 200-yard butterfly (2:15.11) races, while Battaglia took the top spot in both the 200-yard IM (2:14.38) and 200-yard backstroke (2:14.16). The freshman improved her total total number of first-place performances this season to 16, claiming her fourth straight first-place finish in the 200-yard backstroke.
On the men's side, the Griffs captured their third dual over the Purple Eagles in their last four meetings. In the 400-yard medley relay, the team of seniors Shawn Parkhurst, Tyler Carver, Matt Moessinger, and Mike Disco set the tone for the meet with a first-place finish, as the Griffs occupied three of the top-four slots in the relay race. The Blue and Gold managed to sweep a pair of events in the 200-yard freestyle and 200-yard breaststroke. Winning a pair of events was sophomore Sam Hansen, who placed first in both the 500- and 1000-yard freestyle events.
In the diving events against the Purple Eagles, freshman Audrey Mulhisen nabbed her fourth top-finish in the 3-meter with senior Alexa Gigliotti finishing first in the 1-meter. Sophomore Eddie Quarantillo was the only male to post a score above 200 in the 3-meter event with a mark of 255.45. The sophomore set a career high in the 1-meter event with a score of 284.18, coming within five points of breaking the program record held by Earl Lindsey since the 1994-95 season.
Scouting SUNY Fredonia
Entering this weekend, the Blue Devil men only have one dual victory in six total meets this season, including three losses decided by less than 10 points. On the other hand, the Blue Devil women hold an overall record of 4-3 in duals this season. Among their four victories, the Blue Devils took down Gannon by the score of 130-86 on Dec. 7 for the program's first win over the Knights.
Over a month later on Jan. 12, the Griffs would fall to the host Knights at the Carneval Athletic Pavilion, 127-78. At that time, the Knights entered the weekend against the Griffs ranked 19th in the NCAA Division II national rankings.
In recent action on Jan. 12, the Blue Devil men and women swept both Nazareth squads at home. The Blue Devil men defeated the Flyers, 163-118, with three multi-event winners. In swimming, John Estanislau claimed the 100- and 1000-yard freestyle races and Liam Jones took both the 200-yard freestyle and 200-yard butterfly events. On the diving boards, Ryan Fuller completed the sweep of both the 1- and 3-meter events. At the Trinity Diving Invitational on Jan. 18, Fuller won the 1-meter event en route to being awarded the SUNYAC Diver of the Week for the fifth time this season.
In the women's tri-meet, the Blue Devils dominated Nazareth in a 193.5-104.5 victory, but fell to Ithaca, 152-148. Blue Devils' Stephanie Andrasek and Elizabeth Schake each won a pair of individual events each. Andrasek placed first in the 100- and 200-yard breaststroke races with Schake taking the top spot in the 100- and 200-yard butterfly events.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. -- Sophomore Felicia Guliford came through with a crucial fourth-place individual performance, and a veteran University of Tennessee women's cross country squad exhibited great poise and impressive depth in overcoming adversity Saturday morning at the University of Arkansas Agri Park course. The payoff for not panicking was a thrilling two-point victory over the host Lady Razorbacks and the Lady Vols' second-straight Southeastern Conference Championship.
Fourteenth-ranked and conference preseason favorite Tennessee, with 2003 All-SEC honorees senior Brooke Novak and junior Mindy Sullivan not counting in the scoring total, closed ranks and tallied 55 points to narrowly defeat 10-time league champ and 20th-ranked Arkansas (57). In the process, UT claimed the program's fourth SEC trophy to go along with hardware earned in 1983, 1990 and 2003. No. 17 Georgia wasn't far behind with a score of 63 in a race that was predicted to be between three teams and ended up being just that. Florida was a distant fourth with 160 points, followed by Auburn (168), Vanderbilt (177), Mississippi State (186), Kentucky (193), LSU (205), Alabama (257), South Carolina (265) and Ole Miss (334).
"Our team really stepped up today," UT Head Coach J.J. Clark said. "Everyone did a great job of handling an environment where there were a lot of Arkansas fans and enabling us to win another SEC championship. To come here and win back-to-back conference titles for the first time in school history is another huge step for our program.
"Because of how she's been running this season, I expected Felicia to be in the position she was today. She is really coming into her own and running very consistently for us. She is a big talent who is only going to get better."
Guliford, a product of Gallup, N.M., who redshirted last season, led the Big Orange pack for the third time in four races during the 2004 campaign and claimed her first All-SEC accolades. She did so with a fourth-place result of 21:06.23 on a sunny day where early-morning temperatures were in the low to mid 50s and the footing was a little soggy from rain the night before. Angela Homan of Auburn, meanwhile, won her second-consecutive individual league crown, crossing the line in 20:25.92.
"It is an awesome feeling to see how we came together as a team to win today," Guliford said. "It took every single one of us to make that happen. I am also happy with how I ran. I thought I did well, but there is definitely more left in me."
As for the Tennessee supporting cast, senior Elizabeth McCalley (Knoxville, Tenn.), sophomore Katie Flaute (Dayton, Ohio), junior Carly Matthews (Winston-Salem, N.C.) and junior Megan Cauble (Knoxville, Tenn.) picked up the Lady Vol banner and carried it after Novak began to falter between the first and second miles of the 6,000-meter race. One of the team's usual heroines, Novak was in the lead group with Guliford and others through the first mile but soon after began experiencing asthma-related breathing difficulties that eventually prevented the senior from Kaukauna, Wis., from scoring or achieving All-SEC status for a Lady Vol-record fourth time. To her credit, though, she finished ahead of 59 other runners despite the unfortunate episode.
Coming to the aid, though, were McCalley and Flaute, who joined Guliford on the All-SEC squad with career-best conference finishes of eighth and 10th, respectively, in times of 21:11.03 and 21:17.62. Producing an SEC career-best 15th-place effort and winding up one spot short of all-league acclaim was Matthews, who covered the distance in 21:27.19 to flesh out her best 6K performance since midway through the 2003 season. While Matthews left the course without receiving a personal award, her gritty display no doubt made a valuable difference in Tennessee's team fortunes.
Cauble, meanwhile, closed out the scoring with a finish of 18th in 21:40.57. Her contribution proved to be equally as important, as her push to the finish put her ahead of the fifth Arkansas runner and gave UT a two-point triumph that ranks as the tightest margin of victory in the 22-year history of SEC women's cross country.
"Honestly, I never imagined we would win this meet without Brooke Novak counting in our scoring total," Clark said. "She had some respiratory troubles, and luckily we had the team to back it up. Carly, Elizabeth and Katie stepped up and were simply outstanding. Megan Cauble also came through and was very steady today."
Rounding out the competitors for Clark, who won his second SEC title at the helm of the Orange and White to go along with 1996 and 1997 conference triumphs at Florida, were Sullivan (Lubbock, Texas), who was 28th in 22:14.15; Novak, who was 38th in 22:31.30; and senior Nicole Cook (Petersburg, Va.), who crossed the line 49th of 97 runners in 22:52.01. Clark is the only SEC Coach other than Lance Harter of Arkansas to win league trophies since the Lady'Backs joined the conference in 1991.
"We have made tremendous progress, and this shows Tennessee is becoming a good distance powerhouse," Clark said. "We lost Lindsay Hyatt from last year's championship team, and we came back stronger this season. That is a great sign for our program."
Tennessee, now sporting a sterling 89-5 record on the season, will head home this evening and begin preparations for the NCAA South Regional Championships, which will be held in Tuscaloosa, Ala., at 10 a.m. Central time on Nov. 13. The Lady Vols will be attempting to win their third-straight South Region trophy and advance to their third NCAA Championships meet in as many seasons.

Arsène Wenger believes Arsenal can win the Champions League this season but he admits that Barcelona and Real Madrid are the "super-favourites" to lift the famous old trophy.
Pep Guardiola's side are the reigning European champions but they are trailing in the wake of their biggest rivals in La Liga with Jose Mourinho's side currently three points ahead with a game in hand.
Wenger's own team have been hugely impressive in Europe - winning five and drawing two of their seven matches thus far - but the Frenchman knows Arsenal are no more than dark horses right now.
"At the moment I would say in Europe there are two super favourites – Barcelona and Real Madrid," he said. "Behind them, everyone else can hope to win it and we will try to win.
"At the moment we are not one of the favourites but one advantage we have is that we have finished top of our group.
"From now it becomes a cup competition. The Champions League becomes different when you go in the last 16, it is more open. You need a bit of luck in the draw and you need to have your players available in the two games."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Is the ocean carbon sink sinking?
One factor that might be changing the pressure of CO2 coming from the sea surface might be the warming surface waters, because CO2 becomes less soluble as the temperature rises. But that ain't it, as it turns out. The surface ocean is warming in their data, except for the two most tropical regions, but the amount of warming can only explain a small fraction of the CO2 pressure change. The culprit is not in hand exactly, but is described as some change in ocean circulation, caused maybe by stratification or by the North Atlantic Oscillation, bringing a different crop of water to the surface. At any event, the decrease in ocean uptake in the North Atlantic is convincing. It's real, all right.
Canadell et al [2007] claim to see the recent sluggishness of natural CO2 uptake in the rate of atmospheric CO2 rise relative to the total rate of CO2 release (from fossil fuels plus land use changes). They construct records of the atmospheric fraction of the total carbon release, and find that it has increased from 0.4 back in about 1960, to 0.45 today. Carbon cycle models (13 of them, from the SRES A2 scenario) also predict that the atmospheric fraction should increase, but not yet. For the time period from 1960 to 2000, the models predict that we would find the opposite of what is observed: a slight decrease in the atmospheric fraction, driven by increasing carbon uptake into the natural world. Positive feedbacks in the real-world carbon cycle seem to be kicking in faster than anticipated, Canadell et al conclude.
There is no real new information in the Canadell et al [2007] analysis on whether the sinking sink is in the ocean or on land. They use an ocean model to do this bookkeeping, but we have just seen how hard it is to model or even understand some of the observed changes in ocean uptake. In addition to the changing ocean sink, drought and heat wave conditions may change the uptake of carbon on land. The infamously hot summer of 2003 in Europe for example cut the rate of photosynthesis by 50%, dumping as much carbon into the air as had been taken up by that same area for the four previous years [Ciais et al., 2005].
The warming at the end of the last ice age was prompted by changes in Earth's orbit around the sun, but it was greatly amplified by the rising CO2 concentration in the atmosphere. The orbits pushed on ice sheets, which pushed on climate. The climate changes triggered a strong positive carbon cycle feedback which is, yes, still poorly understood.
Now industrial activity is pushing on atmospheric CO2 directly. The question is when and how strongly the carbon cycle will push back.

If someone is very annoying and always disturbing you, they are a pain in the neck.
"Maria talks all day long about her private life, she's such a pain in the neck."
"My 6 year old is a real pain in the neck lately – won't sleep at nights, and getting in trouble at school."

Not only can a person be a "pain in the neck", other thinks can be said to have the same effect... For example... The new regulations are difficult to comply with. They are a real "pain in the neck". Training a dog not to poop inside the house can be a real "pain in the neck". I want to use my computer but my mom put a 15 digit password on my computer and it's a real "pain in the neck" to type the password in all the time... Learning the French language with all it's male and female verbs, tenses, and articles is a real "pain in the neck".

If someone is up on their soapbox about something, they are very overtly and verbally passionate about the topic.
"Eugene was really on his soapbox this morning when the topic of affirmative action came up. He wouldn't shut up for half an hour!"
"OK, get off your soapbox – we agree with you!"
If someone or something is on their last legs, they're close to dying.
"This computer is on its last legs – we should look at getting a new one."
"Our dog is on his last legs – he's 15 years old and can barely stand up."
When someone is on their high horse, they are in a mood or attitude of stubborn arrogance, superiority, indignation or contempt:
"Oh get off your high horse – everyone had to work late this week."
"Joe was really on his high horse last night when he discovered he was right about the merger."

What is happiness?
The human being is there to be happy!
Man seeks happiness... wants to be happy...
Happiness may have countless meanings, according to the expectations - material, emotional or metaphysical - of each person. But true happiness keeps the inner peace as a substance, the clear conscience of those who relish the pleasure of Love and Goodness...
But what is happiness? What's the meaning of being happy? To achieve happiness - "this dream tree full of golden apples" – we often come across unforeseen events along the way... At such moments, the human spirit needs strength to be aware that...
Being happy is ...
A matter of knowing, of determination:
- Knowing how to tame the beast that can dwell within.
- Knowing how to make your fellows happy...
A matter of "perception":
- Realizing that unfortunate souls age earlier...
A matter of "intent":
- Not wish the others what you do not wish for yourself.
A matter of "understanding":
- The understanding that the greatness of life is achieved by the overcome obstacles...
- The understanding getting rid of reality might be easy, but may not be so easy to give up a dream.
A matter of "learning":
- Learning who you are in order to evaluate yourself.
A matter of "attitude":
- Demonstrating that words are worthless up against actions...
- The willing of giving happiness to others…
But, above all, keeping in mind that being happy is to keep the heart so full of love that there is no space for evil.
Anyway... Happiness is making people happy!
Being happy is making human beings happy!

"OK, you've made your point, I won't go out tonight."
"This report must be done tonight. No report, no deal. No deal, no money. Have I made my point?"
If you make headway, you make progress.
"We're really starting to make headway on this project – we should see results in the next week or so."
"Have you made any headway on your history assignment?"
When you know full well, you are absolutely sure that you know.
"You know full well that this report was due today."
"He knew full well that I was a vegetarian when he took me to the barbecue restaurant."
The last straw is the final problem that makes someone lose their temper, or the problem that finally brought about the collapse of something.
"She's been complaining about the job since she got here, but when she complained that her bonus wasn't big enough, that was the last straw. I'm looking for a new assistant."
"He used to go out with his friends a lot, but when he came home drunk on my birthday, that was the last straw. I finished with him."

Hi Larissa and everyone, ....is very similar to the Italian idiom ..... is the drop that overflowed the vase or bowl (è la goccia che ha fatto traboccare il vaso). Bye

The original phrase, in full, is "The straw that broke the camel's back", but we usually just say "The last straw". Thanks for your Italian idiom!
