Hey all!
I've been lurking about the forums for a while now, some may have seen my posts, some haven't lol. So, out of the blue, I am finally posting a WIP thread. I want to formally apologize first though, because a special visit was made by Mr. Blurry Cam...I took these quick this morning with my cell phone, and some are a bit blurry, but I will try to get motivated later to get some real pics with a *real* camera.
First and foremost, there ARE things missing from these pieces that I am either finishing up, haven't mounted yet, or I am still acquiring. If I miss something on the list of things to do, let me know! I have been progressing fairly fast with this armor, having just got the hard pieces from BM (<-----the man!) last December, and its my first costume/project of this magnitude I've ever undertaken so it will likely be easy for me to miss some things, but that's what the pro's are for on this forum right?
Some items that are NOT pictured, but I have sitting either complete or almost complete (or purchased):
-Woodman ESB cape and braids
-BBF Stainless Jetpack Harness, ESB ammo belt, and chin skirt
-BM shin tools (I'm just finishing up masking the squeegee for the red and black accents)
-BM Gauntlet Rocket (90% complete, painting the copper colored tip, then finished)
-Fettronics Chest Lights
-ESB Gloves from Evo Props. These aren't too bad, judging from the various posts on this seller, they do need some puffing up, but I might save that for another TDH member's run once I try these out for a while. I don't think anyone else was offering these gloves at the time.
-Soft parts incoming from LSFU
So without further ado:
Here is the bulk of the armor, all from Bobamaker, and painted using Rafalfett's painting templates (thanks a ton to both!). Painting was done almost completely with rattle cans, because I lack the necessary skill set to use an air brush comfortably without fear of screwing up. All the armor was painted with a base coat of rustoleum aluminum, and masking fluid was applied to bring out the dents and scratches. All green armor was painted with rustoleum spruce green with a mist of krylon hunt club green, and a very light dusting of black, the exception to this is the center diamond, which is only painted in hunt club green. The paint around the dents of the green armor is hand painted: yellow zinc chromate for the ab, chest, and cod piece; lark dark grey for the collar piece. Further weathering and darkening was added by hand using pastels.
The left shoulder bell was painted with just a coat of striping yellow, and I actually grew the balls to experiment with an air brush here for the weathering using model masters dark grey (it is definitely not dark). The right shoulder was sprayed with the same striping yellow, then misted with testor's go mango orange (spray can kind), and the weathering was done again with an airbrush using model master's rust that I darkened with a bit of black.
The knee armor was done similar to the right shoulder bell: striping yellow, mist of go mango, then I also added a dust of black. Weathering for both was done with the same paint mixture and airbrushed. Obviously the knee darts aren't mounted yet, so I set them beside each piece.
Here we've got the back plate and rear belt armor. These were painted with the same color scheme as above, with the lark dark grey on the back plate and yellow zinc chromate on the rear belt armor, again with a bit of pastel weathering.
This is a MOW jetpack. This is one of my earlier pieces I essentially learned a lot of what I applied on the armor lol, and I think it is a bit over weathered....I believe I used krylon italian olive for the green color here, so it is a slightly different hue than the armor (oops...). But the weathering is a mix of topical and layered, then darkened with pastels. Strangely enough, the reds show up bright on camera, but I darkened the hell out of them with the pastel weathering. I included hints of other earth tones and dirt, but those pastel colors don't show up well on camera. This is definitely not one of my stronger paint jobs, but I think it looks much better when you see it in front of you rather than through a picture. This will likely be re-painted in the future. From these pics, I do not have the beacon yet (on order from Dark-Side, can't wait!) and I also have not yet painted on the white dot above the stabilizer nor have I acquired the blue dental file as of yet.
This is a set of resin blasters from stormrider, the EE-3 also having a heiland flash tube. I think I posted these in SR's sale thread, but I thought I'd throw em back out here.
Here we have a pair of MOW boots, very excellent stuff! This was the first piece I completed with the help of Spideyfett's tutorial. They are finished off with a set of Mojo toe spikes.
This is where the blurry cam comment comes in, sorry! They are not great pics....I know. I just finished up these babies yesterday (these are BM pieces as well, his brand new ESB style hoo rah!). Rattle can spruce green like the armor, minus any dusting. I am currently throwing a bit of pastel weathering on them to dirty them up a bit. I am just finishing up the rocket for mounting, and you can also see that the holes aren't drilled yet for the gauntlet switches either, but they are sitting on the table thanks to BM providing such a complete kit. I am currently waiting for Mojo to stock up on gauntlet darts so I can mount those in, and I also have not yet acquired the hose or connector since that will simply require a trip to the hardware store. If anyone is looking for a nice pair of gauntlets that are ready to paint out of the box, Bobamaker provides a sturdy as hell solution that is horrendously easy to put together, and the package he offers comes with everything in the pics plus the gauntlet switches and rocket, all ready to mount. The gaunts are also lined with some velcro to hold them together, however, I think I will be mounting some rare earth magnets on one side of each and keeping the other side using velcro as a hinge, since I don't really care for the piano hinges sticking out.
And here is where I have made zero progess! I was saving this badboy for last because frankly, I'm afraid of it lol. This is a BM helmet with deluxe rangefinder, and holy jeez it is awesome. I consider everything else I've done to be a warm up for the helm, though I haven't completely decided whether I would like to send this one out as a commission or paint it myself (though I'd rather be able to say I painted it). I'm very much on the fence about how I want to go about this one. I've used masking fluid techniques for the armor, but it doesn't always come off nicely. I am thinking of using frisket film since it has a light adhesive so I can stick it to the helmet and go the topical route, but then again, I also painted all the other stuff by hand without using Rafalfett's templates as stencils...*sigh*. Also, as far as masking parts of the helmet off using tape or whatnot...does anyone have any pro tips? I usually don't have too much trouble, but I am pretty bad at masking off something as....curvy....as the helmet is. I am still using rattle cans for the bulk of the colors here to keep it in line with the rest of my armor, and that **** gets everywhere there is an opening in the tape, even if its on the other side of the piece somehow. Do you guys cut pieces out, fold them over, or am I thinking about this too hard? Any feeback you guys could throw my way on masking or helping to paint this lid would be great. I'm hoping to give myself a timeline of 1-2 months for completion of it, since I am still waiting on soft parts from LSFU. I figure if I give myself a deadline, I will actually work on it religiously lol.
Any thoughts?

By Chris Harris
Arsène Wenger will NOT sign another goalkeeper if Manuel Almunia leaves the Club.
The Spaniard has not featured for the first team since September's defeat against West Brom and is currently sidelined by an ankle injury.
Lukasz Fabianski and Wojciech Szczesny have staked their claims for a first-team place in Almunia's absence and Wenger has admitted that there is a "small chance" his most senior keeper will leave.
If he does, expect another youngster to step up.
"No [I won't sign another keeper] because we still have Vito Mannone who plays at Hull who is available," said Wenger.
"I think Almunia will stay, then we have three goalkeepers. People want us to have four, five, six, I don't know.
"We have a young Argentinean boy [Emilio Martinez] as well who is very good. We have plenty of goalkeepers, I think a club who works well can produce good goalkeepers."
Mannone recently extended his loan deal with Hull until the end of the season. Wenger is not sure whether he can recall him.
"It is a complicated question to answer because I don't think we are [able to]," he said.
"We had to make a decision at the time before we knew Almunia was going out or not. I didn't want the problem of bringing Vito back and being No 3 so we took the gamble. I think we can bring him back only in the case of exceptional injury."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Read the latest news on the Samsung Galaxy Note 3
Think the iPhone 5 is a weakling of a mobile, and that even the Samsung Galaxy S3 could do with gaining a few curves? The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 may be what you're after. Thanks to its 5.5in screen, it's a phone so large that some people can't decide whether it's a phone or a tablet.
It does demand man-sized hands or a handbag to slot into your life easily. But the large screen and its great stylus make it one of the most desirable mobile devices around. At around £549.99, it's £50 more expensive than the Samsung Galaxy S3, but you can't complain too much given the extra features and screen inches you get here.
Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Video Review
The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 looks and feels a lot like a larger Samsung Galaxy S3, with aesthetic trimmings closer to the smartphone flagship than the first Galaxy Note. A host of little design tweaks have been made to bring the Note series to bring in-line with Samsung's 2012 devices.
Its soft key is a little sleeker, and while it its body is still palm-worryingly big, the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 is a little longer and less wide than its predecessor. The result is a phone that looks a bit leaner and less stubby, and is a little comfier to hold.
There's no sugar-coating the truth, though. If you have small hands or wear femur-hugging skinny jeans the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 will pose a logistical problem or two, and may have to be consigned to the handbag for transportation.
However, Samsung has made some seriously handy design improvements that minimise the size issues for most people. The buttons along its sides, which control volume and power, have been lowered a little. Those bearing at least mid-sized man-hands will be able to operate the basics without shifting grip. And we couldn't say that about the original Note.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 is also a little slimmer and lighter than its forebear. It's 177g in weight and 9.4mm thick. That's a smidge thicker than the 8.6mm of the Samsung Galaxy S3, but this is presumably to enable the phone to pack-in a seriously impressive 3100mAh battery. Excuses for a tiny bit of back fat don't get much better than that.
The basic construction of the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 is typical Samsung. Its rear is covered with a thin plastic battery cover, and while the sides are metallic in finish, they are made of plastic.
Just like the look, the feel in-hand is much like a Samsung Galaxy S3. It doesn't have the hard, cool touch of a metal-backed phone like the iPhone 5, and the back is made of familiar, ultra-thin plastic. The free flexing of the thing as it's removed doesn't exactly fill you with confidence about the phone's strength, but technically its physical credentials aren't too bad.
The Note 2 battery cover - keeping it bendy
For one, you can replace the back cover should it get scuffed or scratched to matt oblivion, and the front is covered by a sheet of Corning Gorilla Glass 2. Corning's toughened glass has become the smartphone industry standard, and the second generation makes it thinner, and even stronger.
Other benefits of using a removable battery cover include being able to remove the battery, and east-to-design custom covers-cum-cases. Samsung includes a second rear with the Samsung Galaxy Note 2, one that apes the Pebble Blue finish of the Samsung Galaxy S3 and has an integrated front flap screen protector.
The cover also hides a microSD slot, letting you upgrade the 16/32/64GB of internal memory both easily and cheaply. You don't have to remove the battery to get access to the memory card slot, either.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 is a phone that looks less geeky than its predecessor, while keeping the design nods that techies will love. However, these days it doesn't need that many connectors to keep up its tech cred.
There are just two here, a microUSB port on the bottom and a 3.5mm headphone jack up top. The bottom socket is used for charging, transferring files and to pipe video out using Samsung's MHL-compliant cable. Samsung does not include one in the box, though. What you do get are the USB cable, power adapter and a pair of basic IEM-style earphones with an integrated handsfree kit/remote.
The most important accessory of all, though, is one that slots perfectly into the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 - the re-designed S Pen stylus. Unlike the original S Pen, it features a triangular stem design for improved ergonomics, has a select button on one of its sides and has a rubber tip. Its tech specs have been significantly improved too.
It lives in a little cubby hole at the bottom of the device, and the Note 2 even notifies you with a bleat if you leave without it. This is done using a clever combo of the Wacom digitiser that makes the stylus so clever, and the phone's accelerometer judging when you've walked away with the device. We'll cover the positive effects of the other S Pen changes later.

Curious that you list its size ("it's massive") under 'Cons'. Strictly speaking its size is neither a pro nor a con, it is simply a feature. Whether that feature translates in to a pro or a con depends on the benefit it brings, or the opposite.
Sounds picky, I know, but in this instance it is especially relevant - after all the size of the thing is considered to be its primary benefit by many, the very USP which sets it apart from the crowd and the reason why they buy it.
Your banner statement says 'better than the original in every way'.
Well the screen of the note 2 has a lower resolution. I haven't seen the two phones together, so i don't know if this is noticeable.
Sure, there are improvements in many areas but I do not see enough of an change to warrant replacing a less than one year old note with the note 2 at a cost of around £500. I will be waiting for note 3.
No NFC? Are you sure?
No, you're definitely wrong about the Note 2 not having NFC- it DOES- the Note 10.1 does not... And Malcy? Isn't the Original Note a 1280x800 PenTile matrix? The Note2 has good old RGB stripe... that's going to look a whole lot better... and effectively be higher resolution since PenTile sort of cuts res in half...
Admittedly though, I was hoping for a 1080P screen on this... was disappointed they couldn't manage that and still get decent battery life...
why the yen for 1080p screen resolution? Accepting human vision resolution of about 1/60 degree, and assuming the screen width of about 2.7", you would need to hold the device no further than about 8.6" (about two palm widths) from your face to get the benefit.
Much further away and the benefit of all that resolution would be squandered. Whereas at 720 points across the 2.7" screen width you are faced with a viewing distance of just under 13" under the same assumptions.
I suppose both are do-able. I've just had a butchers at my phone and find that I tend to hold it at about a 1.5 foot. Eight inches seems oppressively close, for me.
Anyone wondering why these comments about NFC are here - they're from the preview article written a while back. If there are any more Qs about the Note 2, fire away.
Thanks for the excellent detailed review, been looking for something as in depth on this device for a while and consequently have now ordered mine to arrive next week....question is, I was led to believe these devices are not yet LTE compatible and will have to wait for the LTE batch to come out, is that right?
I agree with Martin. "It's massive" is not a Con - it's the entire point of this device! If a user wanted a smaller one, they'd buy the SIII. This should be a "Pro" not a "Con". It's like reviewing an iPad and then complaining it's not as small as an iPod Touch...
Thanks THX1138, glad it was useful. We've checked with Samsung and the LTE devices are indeed separate. Sounds like they'll be coming to the UK within a week or two though.
I changed the con so it's a bit more... relevant when the full review came out. The previous con was there on the preview.
I agree the size in its most abstract sense isn't a con, but it is something every potential Note 2 owner needs to consider.
If you do a follow up worth showing the split screen mode rolled out in a firmware upgrade yesterday, its pretty nifty for multi tasking.
You state
Samsung includes a second rear with the Samsung Galaxy Note 2, one that apes the Pebble Blue finish of the Samsung Galaxy S3 and has an integrated front flap screen protector.
But every un boxing video I have looked at ever is nothing included.
It is mentioned in the article that the device is LTE/4G ready but when speaking with a Samsung sales assistant on the weekend, I was told that the version currently on sale does not support 4G
I have bought the Note 2 and can confirm that you do need to buy the LTE version to get 4G. Saying that, considering the prices just announced for a 4G contract then the 3G version will suffice thank you very much. Unless you dont have a home broadband connection and will need to do much more than check email and the odd You Tube vid then 3G is all you need. As for the note 2, well what a great phone this is. Lets be clear, it is big and some may well not be able to cope with that but they will be the ones missing out. The device is blisteringly fast and takes to multi-tasking like a duck to water. There is no lag what so ever. The battery life is amazing. Normal usage will give you two days use with no effort at all. I have tried to run the battery down by hitting it with lots of calls, surfing, screen on full resolution, YouTube vids ect,ect but having taken it off charge at 05:30 it still had 7% battery left at 23:30. As said, normal use will get you two days, which is brilliant considering whats under the hood. The S-Pen is a gem and once you get familiar with all it can do it becomes indespensible. The OCR is the best i've ever seen but despite some advertising to the contrary it will not replace tapping out a quick text with your thumbs any time soon. My favourite use for the pen so far is the screen shot taking. Works like a dream. Before buying this i had a Sony tablet and a Sony phone. If you think you need, like I did, to have the best of both worlds and only have to carry about one device then the Note 2 is for you without question. I now don't even notice the size when using as a phone. That said, the fashion conscious will just discard it without thought i suspect and I don't expect to see any teenagers with one anytime soon. But for a 45 year old with diminishing eye sight and a demand for a phone with a very sensibly sized screen and a battery that actually is up to the job then this is the perfect phone bar none. Until the Note 3/4 comes out and 4G eventually becomes sensibly priced then the Note 2 is really all you could ever need from a mobile device.
I have had a play with the this device in two stores and both times the user interface seemed to be very slow. The second time I played with it I decided to re-boot the unit and then everything came back to, what I would call, a normal operating speed.
Have owners noticed a need to re-boot these devices frequently? Is this just something Android users have to do all the time?
can anybody tell me... how to deactivate automatic pen sensing for Samsung galaxy note 2....?
It is hard to believe but this business oriented device fails to implement the standard Android 4 spelling checker. So no red wavy line under incorrectly spelt words, only the corrections supplied by the predictive input. Also if you take a photo, and opt to share it via email, you don't get an iOS like option to choose what size image to send! I really don't get why Andriod is so liked as an OS, in its quest to provide customisation it seems to make many things more difficult.
Nop, coming from nexus S, this device is pure speed!!! It's like a flash, you press, it responds... nothing other device give me this joy of use! Simply passionate!
oh, and reboot is thing of past, nowadays you can open so many apps, and the note 2 keep the speed!! without any lag at all!!! but mine is 4g LTE, and from Portugal, i don't know if it counts...
I have no lag, no rebooting my note 2 runs smooth evenIwith multiple windows open I haven't a hiccup with this phone and my battery last me up to 12hrs with heavy use. I only have to charge my phone once a day when I use it heavily and on light to med use the battery will last up to two days. I purchased a battery flip case and haven't had to use it yet. I didn't belive that the battery life on this phone was that great but after having it now I'm a believer.
I think you go into settings then go to s pen there you should be able to durable that feature of that doesn't work search the Internet or go to one of the forums they should have the answer there
My son just turned 19 and he and his friends just ditched their iphones for the note 2. I don't know where you're from but you'd be surprised to see how many younger people as well as older folks have or want the note 2. My daughter is 14 and she wants one for her 15th birthday. Grant it I agree it is a perfect phone for those whose vision is failing but I don't see a specific age category for this phone.
"Corning's toughened glass has become the smartphone industry standard,
and the second generation makes it thinner, and even stronger." - the glass is too fragile that it broke when my note 2 fell from office table upside down
i am using Samsung Galaxy Note 2 since last 3 months and trust me its awesome. ! Basic need of Huge battery back up is fulfilled here.! The S Pen stylus does a great job and you wont find any glitches even though you loading thousands of application on your phone.!! Tablet cum Phone. 5/5 Stars.
there are actually two versions of Note2, the N7100 - international version is NOT a Corning Gorilla Glass. Only the Korean Version is Gorilla Glass.

Weddingstar Inc Announces the Introduction of WeddingstarTV
Two videos have been debuted with more on the way. Love Letter Ceremony Video and Keepsake Picture Stand.
Dunmore, Alberta (MarketWire) July 30, 2010 - Weddingstar, Inc., a leading designer and manufacturer of personalized bridal products and wedding favors, announced today the introduction of WeddingstarTV, an interactive way for brides and grooms to learn more about how Weddingstar can help customize their own wedding favors, wedding accessories and wedding cake toppers.
So far, WeddingstarTV has aired two videos, one detailing their Love Letter Ceremony Box Set and the other exhibiting their Wedding Cake Topper Display Stands. Both videos are a little over two minutes in length, but give exclusive detail of some of Weddingstar's customized wedding accessories and wedding cake toppers.
The first video illustrates The Love Letter Ceremony Box Set, which involves the bride and groom sealing love letters they have written to each other and locking them into a box along with a bottle of wine, two wine goblets and other memorabilia or mementos they have selected. Once the contents are in place, the box is locked with a key to symbolize the vows of love and commitment the couple have made to one another. The idea behind the Love Letter Ceremony Box Set is that the couple opens the box on the occasion of a predetermined significant wedding anniversary or milestone in their marriage. The couple can then partake of the wine and read the love letters they have written to each other.
The second video illustrates the Wedding Cake Topper Display Stands, which offer brides and grooms ideas on what to do with their leftover wedding cake toppers. The display stands allow the couples to turn the toppers into keepsakes for themselves. Different examples are demonstrated and the possibilities are endless.
"These videos are merely scratching the surface of what is to come from WeddingstarTV," said a Weddingstar representative. "We're aiming to revolutionize a whole new way to plan a wedding that makes the process as easy and as fun as possible."
WeddingstarTV will allow brides and grooms to simultaneously view different ideas and possibilities for their special day while making the journey leading up to the wedding as memorable as their actual ceremony.
WeddingstarTV promises to be prolific with the amount of videos they will release over the next few months. Viewers will be impressed with the interactive quality the videos have to offer as well as the different products being demonstrated. WeddingstarTV will assist brides and grooms in setting the bar in quality wedding planning that will have their friends following in their footsteps for when they plan their own weddings.

Icy conditions arrived in Hardin County shortly after 4 a.m. today and roads soon were becoming hazardous.
Police, emergency crews and Transportation Cabinet officials have confronted problems resulting from the treacherous weather.
Crews have been able to access I-65 and treat southbound lanes between Elizabethtown and Upton. Addressing the condition of the road was necessary before allowing motorists to continue. Traffic has been released and the interstate is open southbound.
Northbound has one lane open.
From Hardin County Schools: The Central Hardin at North Hardin boys' basketball game scheduled for tonight has been postponed and will be rescheduled for a later date. The John Hardin at Nelson County girls' game also has been called off.
· NO buses will run tonight in the Hardin County School district for any reason (games, competitions, etc)
· NO buses will run Saturday before 8 a.m. (games, competitions, etc). If a student was scheduled to board a bus before 8 a.m. to travel somewhere, the trip will be postponed. A decision about the rest of the day's travel at or before 8 a.m.
Motorists are advised to use extreme caution or limit their travel in areas where freezing rain is falling. Conditions can deteriorate very quickly, making travel nearly impossible.
Police and rescue crews were called to mile-marker 83 on Interstate 65 shortly after 4 a.m. where a motorist was trapped in an overturned vehicle in the southbound lanes. About an hour later, police received reports of multiple trucks jackknifed around the Glendale exit, which also was blocking southbound traffic. Dozens of traffic collision also have been reported around the area.
School closings have been announced by Hardin County, Elizabethtown Independent Schools, Grayson, LaRue, Meade, Breckinridge and Nelson counties plus Gloria Dei Lutheran School, Elizabethtown Montessori Children's Center and Daycare, Elizabethtown Christian Academy and Leitchfield Christian Academy. West Point Independent Schools also is now closed after originally looking at a two-hour delay.
The region bowling tournament has been postponed from today until 10 a.m. Monday.
A wintry mix predicted by the National Weather Service arrived on schedule with freezing rain and sleet. Despite preparations by road crews, icy conditions formed on surfaces, particularly bridges and overpasses, complicating travel.
A mix of rain, snow, sleet and freezing rain are expected, according to the forecast, with light icing across the region. Some snow accumulation is possible from the front.

Our kids need to move!!
Childhood inactivity and obesity is at an all-time high and affects 1 of every 6 kids in the United States reports Journal of School Health. More than 30 percent of children are obese or overweight. This is triple from 1980. Only 8 percent of elementary school students and 6 percent of middle school and high school students have daily PE at school and today budget cuts have minimized or eliminated P.E. altogether.
Realizing physical activity has a significant impact of the health status of our kids and our community, The 100 Mile Club has created a simple, innovative, sustainable answer to the current health crisis in our youth: daily physical activity in a nonthreatening, supportive, inclusive environment. Our concept is simple and easy to implement. We put a new creative spin on the simple act of walking or running by creating an incentive program that adds excitement while teaching children how to become responsible and accountable for their own success.
The 100 Mile Club serves all kids, ages preschool through high school. We serve youth in all regions: urban, suburban, and rural. We serve all populations: privileged and at-risk. We serve all abilities: from the student who discovers running as a new talent, to the child who physically struggles to put one foot in front of the other. The 100 Mile Club transcends race, gender, ability, socioeconomic status, and lifestyle. We serve and inspire all kids to run and to be the very best they can be. We want to help prevent obesity in children by making fitness opportunities available in schools and empowering kids to achieve a healthy lifestyle they can maintain.
Exercise helps to maintain a healthy weight, yet studies show most children do not get enough exercise at home or in school. The financial strain of our economy has parents working harder with less time to spend with their children doing physical activities.
The 100 Mile Club® addresses the issue of childhood obesity and inactivity using a safe, fun and consistent program that can be modified to fit the needs of all children. The program can be tailored for use before school, during or after school. Evidence supports participation in physical activities can reduce self-destructive behavior, negative social activity, crime, racism, isolation, loneliness and alienation in children and youth as well as reducing the probability of obesity. "Physical fitness is an intrinsic part of the educational process, not something to be sidelined or avoided," said Dr. Robert K. Ross, president and CEO of the California Endowment."
Statewide physical fitness test scores in participating schools are consistently improving. The 100 Mile Club® is more than just a physical fitness program. We improve the quality of life for kids and their entire family. We provide these at risk children with hope, camaraderie and the knowledge that they can be successful in school and beyond.
With the ultimate goal of running or walking 100 miles in a school year, we hope to change the way kids feel about fitness, their bodies and their health. It does not matter where they are physically, they can reach any goal they set. It is our long term goal to successfully win the battle on childhood obesity and inactivity one child, one school and one community as a time.
The 100 Mile Club® is successfully winning the battle on childhood obesity and inactivity one child, one school, one community at a time. Visit www.100mileclub.com to learn more. :)

text: Posted June 1, 2012 Panthers wideout Steve Smith has been confused a lot this week. In a good way. Panthers offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski has spent the first two weeks of OTA (organized team activities) practices installing tweaks and twists to further diversify the NFL's seventh-ranked offense in 2011. Anyone who thought the coach known as "Chud" was going to roll the balls out this spring and maintain the status quo should check with Smith, a veteran who made a handful of mental mistakes Wednesday after missing a couple of days last week to attend a relative's graduation. Smith said he is comfortable enough with Chudzinski that he told him: "Whoa, this is a little bit too much for me this week." Not that Smith is complaining. "I'm encouraged by that," he said. It took about two training camp practices last summer for Smith to realize this was not Jeff Davidson's offense anymore. Smith praised the way Chudzinski lined him up all over the field rather than planting him wide on one side for 60 plays a game, as Smith said John Fox's staff often did. Smith responded with 79 catches and a Pro Bowl berth a year after a career-worst season had him talking about finishing his career somewhere other than Charlotte. With Cam Newton firmly entrenched as the franchise quarterback and Chudzinski back after interviewing for three head-coaching jobs, Smith signed a three-year contract extension in April that should allow him to retire as a career Panther. Smith is in a happy place – at long last. "I'm doing good, not bad for a 33-year-old," Smith said after Wednesday's optional practice. "I run around. Let the young guys get in, but also get out there and catch and get our timing back and get it up to speed. Run the new plays. I probably had several mental errors. That's expected early. Get them out now before the season starts." Smith is not fond of the characterization that Newton's arrival rejuvenated him. But beginning with their private workouts last summer during the lockout, it was clear Smith was happy to have Newton throwing to him rather than Jimmy Clausen. After Newton's record-breaking rookie season, Smith finds it refreshing that Newton still is looking for ways to improve. Smith views Newton's comment that he was a "bad teammate" in 2011 when he took defeats too hard as another positive sign. "We're all harsher critics on ourselves. So it doesn't surprise me him saying that because how hard he is on himself," Smith said. "I think that's good for him to say he has some things to work on. I think that's progress and a show of growth and maturity. "A lot of times with a guy like Cam (having) early success so quickly, we don't want to be harsh critics or we don't want to analyze what we consider the weaknesses we know are there. It may not be glaring. It may be something small. But it's huge to him. "I think the biggest thing is for him to acknowledge it, not behind closed doors but out. I think that's him saying, 'Hey, there's some things I can improve on, whatever it is.' … I like that." Smith also likes the confidence he hears around the locker room. Linebacker Jon Beason has said it's not enough to make the playoffs; he wants the Panthers expecting to make a deep postseason run. "I feel with some of the guys we've got, we can improve. If we can improve, I think there's nothing wrong with anticipating and expecting improvement, (which) would ultimately result in going to the playoffs," Smith said. "Once you're in the playoffs, it's like buying a ticket in the Lotto. It's one out of a million. But if you've got that ticket, you have a greater chance of getting a jackpot than you do without buying a ticket."

TECH DEVELOPMENTS: I have been re-reading Clayton M. Christensen's The Innovator's Dilemma: When New Technologies Cause Great Firms to Fail in preparation for a session that Chris Mines and I are running on adapting to the Next Big Thing at Forrester's IT Forum 2010.* Last week, I attended SAP's SAPPHIRE NOW conference in Orlando, listened to co-CEOs Bill McDermott and Jim Hagemann Snabe, and met with McDermott along with other Forrester colleagues. The juxtaposition of the book and the event caused me to wonder: is SAP like one of the highly successful companies in Christensen's book that failed to adapt to disruptive technologies? As Christensen noted, "the managers of the companies studied here had a great track record in understanding customers' future needs, identifying which technologies could best address those needs, and in investing to develop and implement them."
Everything that McDermott and Snabe said was consistent with these characteristics. They talked about how companies were facing a world of mobile, empowered customers; their need to be connected with each other to optimize the value chain through to the end consumer; the desire for new process flows; and the importance to them of fast decision-making. They identified a combination of on-premise, on-demand, and on-device solutions that SAP will be offering to meet these needs. They discussed SAP's investments and new offerings in these areas, including its acquisition of Sybase for its mobile solutions and real-time analytics capabilities.

Is it possible to replace a sw40ve slide cover plate with a glock slide cover plate?
Printable View
Is it possible to replace a sw40ve slide cover plate with a glock slide cover plate?
Please clarify -what is the function of the cover plate? I'm very familiar with the SW40VE and with Glock and know they are pretty dissimilar guns. Nevertheless, some similarities could exist.
the slide cover plate is the plastic piece on the back of the slide
This is a Glock slide cover plate:
This is a SW40VE cover plate:
I'm pretty sure they are incompatible. Sorry. :(
I'd bet that the cover plates wouldn't be interchangeable as there was enough corporate dustup over the similiarities anyway. Smith made a pretty close "copy" of the Glock as it is, interchangable parts would be one step too far, I'd imagine. If it's a look with the grooving you're looking for, you might be able to surface groove the SW40VE plate with a checkering file. Just my .02.
why would you need to interchange them????
Ya know, I was thinking the same thing! But people here just want to get answers to their questions. They don't want their motives to be called into question and they certainly don't want to be lectured.
Its his gun and his money.
I've had both and I don't think they would interchange. I never tried though. and I have no idea why one would want to . Both are easily available. I've seen them both at midway.
I know you guys have seen the Glock different colored back plates...silver and red I think.......maybe the OP wants to do somthin like that???!!
If that was the case I'm sure you could coat it with something that sticks well to polymers. If I remember right Smith makes Gray and black. With the low cost it wouldn't be a big deal to get a couple and experiment. Though I'm not sure what that would gain someone. I guess if one was going to coat the slide then you could make it match or contrast just right.
Here's some for Glocks Link
Here's S&W Link
to answer your questions on why I want the slide cover to be stainless and not plastic glock has stainless and sigma does not.
Sigma is a 300.00 gun tops. You're not going to see stainless covers or many other bells and whistles. I'm sure there's an aftermarket company that thought about it but the M&P line pretty much overshadowed the Sigma line. I don't see anyone making them because they are not near as prolific as a Glock. Get them out to most of LEO and that might change.
I really like the Sigma pistols. They are one of the better low cost weapons out there. But you're not going to find a lot of after market stuff for them. A lot of Glock stuff will work but not that cover as far as I know.
Polishing the slide and wanted the cover plate to be the same. No problems from any part of the pistol. great pistol for the money smooth shooting and no big issue with the trigger like most people.
Ah, the trigger gets better over time and there's stuff you can do to take a little off the trigger if one really wants to. Personally I like the bead blast finish but I can see where a polish job would look nice.
yeah pulled to the right at first when shooting but did a little smithing on the trigger and performs great.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Yes, it all needs to be matched, or near so.
If the existing motor moves the ship well, then repair it and move on.
You really do not need a turbo.
If you try to extract that 75 hp, then you are going to be ploughing water and the fuel consumption will increase, not because the motor is les efficient, but because the boat realy drinks fuel at the higher hull speeds.
If you just have top end scoring, then it should not be too expensive. You should be able to get oversizes and re-bore the barrels. Then a valve seat re-grind (or re-cut and grind if they are pitted), a new cylinder head gasket and you shuld be ok.
Yanmar spare parts are not TOO expensive (compared to Volvo that is).
Cost it out, and see.
Why would you want an engine that is badly suited for the marine environment. A turbo is more complex, more maintenance, more prone to failure, generates more heat, resists the kind of abuse a sailboat engine goes through less and so on. Usually, weight isn't all that critical an issue. If you have a 20,000 lb. boat, the difference in weight between a normally aspirated 75 HP diesel and a smaller 75 HP turbo diesel is meaningless. Why not just rebuild or replace the existing engine's block. Then you would not need to worry about modifying the transmission gearing, or the engine mounts.
As for your reasons:
The larger engine isn't going to give you better fuel economy necessarily. Once you're at hull speed, the amount of fuel it takes to go any faster goes up incredibly. Also, as a turbo engine, the engine won't be working very efficiently at the lower RPM ranges, and will suffer from turbo lag, as previously pointed out.
Since the engine will be a turbo, it isn't going to have much more low end torque, since the turbo requires fairly high engine RPMs to really kick in. This has also been pointed out.
The extra horsepower does you absolutely no good if the propshaft and prop can't handle it. Unless you're willing to spend the money on a larger propshaft and propellor, the additional HP isn't going to be all that useful. Most likely, the current prop would just cavitate, rather than generate any significant increase in power.
Proper propellor selection depends on many things—including the HP of the engine. I could go from a 20 HP on my boat to a 50 HP, but if I didn't change the prop, I certainly wouldn't get an increase in fuel economy or useable power—and it probably wouldn't affect my WOT speed significantly.
The advantage for extra HP is fuel economy, more low-end torque, lower rpm for normal operation, and the extra HP if needed to fight a heavy headwind, or pull off a soft grounding. I have the power curves and can send them out if anyone wants them, or you can find them on Yanmarmarine.com
I too am personally no fan of turbo powered sailing boats. However there are some cases where it might be the only solution.
The engine room compartment is to small to fit in a non-turbo of desired HP range.
Weight might be an issue fitting a bigger non-turbo (going from 4 to 6 cyl).
However the turbo does not get glowing red in the dark, the exhaust turbine housing is water cooled! The heat emission to air does not get significant higher from same engine type with turbo, but the air consumption encrease which might call for modified ventilation . If properly arranged ventilation, the running temp in the compartment might be reduced due to encreased consumption of the air and quicker circulation. The main 'problem' might be the turbo itself, but most likely only after 1000hrs+ of running time depending of use.
The specific consumption of the turbo engine is lower than the normal aspirated one, but only in the turbo rpm range: above about 2500rpm.
However do You need more HP ore do You need more prop-shaft torque?
Have a talk with Your prop supplier and check. Perhaps a different gear ratio and new prop will give You what You want.
Unless You have a dream of sailing with a decal at the transom saying 'Turbo Powered', I would have tried something else.
Im confused
first it was no #2 now it's "there all scored"?
1) Scoring alone in a diesel will not produce a zero compresion reading. Only a valve will do that.
2) Turbos are not like blowers they dont produce any boost benifits untill engine is past 60% max rpm. So you do not get better lower tork with one.
3) 80% of all our marine engine problums are realeated to cooling and cooling water problums, adding more heat in your enging compartment from your warm little round frying pan aint helping anything. Yes they do get red hot!!
4) Yes you could benifit from more horspower, but get it differently with a different bigger normally asperated engine. Whats another 1/2 gal per hour. It's a blowboat .
5) Dont be sturbon you asked for advice TAKE IT !! your getting some good advice from some knowlagable people from what I see.
6) Have the rack run on you curent engine to see if I not right on this compression issue befor you get suckkered into a new one.
I have 17 piecies of heavy equipment with a diesel engine in it. Turbos only help in some instances.
Sorry to hear about your predicament. Hind site is always 20/20
always get 3 surveys
1) Hull
2) Rigging
3) Mechanical ( Hull & machanic on board at sea trial )
I like turbos.I liked them in cars and I like them on motorcycles.
I don't think they are applicable in a tight engine compartments of most sailboats. I don't believe there is enough airflow in these compartments.
A good turbo system will glow a dull red when operating under a load and the propeller is a constant load.
My two cents
The oil was new, and the likelihood of getting an accurate indication of the engine condition from a lube analysis was quite low.
So, was the oil new before or after the sea trial, before or after the fuel filter change. If before the seatrial, and there was damage, the scoring (chromium, rust, all sorts of bad things) would have shown up after 10-15 minutes of operation. I just have no idea of a succinct timeline here.
Oil was new at the sea trial? did it make the noises at the sea trial? I'm trying to asctertain WHEN the first time this bad stuff happend.
So the engine rpm is lower with the turbo.
maybe I missed something but with the turbo'd engine, would it be within the operating efficiency range of the turbo engine?
I would expect that there would be less heat generated.
actually, no, exhaust temp will be the same OR higher, plus the added cast iron side of the turbo acts as a nice round griddle in your engine room, just heating everything up nice and toasty.
yes, of course you can insulate, then all those hotter exhaust gases just go down stream a bit further.
maybe I need to state this again.
a turbo'd engine has no place in a sailboat. (unless its VERY large, like those 100 ft beheamoths)
here are just some off the top of my head reasons. (in addition to the above)
diesels love to, need to be run at operating temps to be efficient, and for long life. Motoring off a ball out of the bay for 15 - 30 minutes ain't gunna cut it. Add a coke producing turbo to the mix and you're asking for trouble in the turbo bearings, oil turning to tar in the area of the separator bearing, sludging up the works.
turbo "lag"- you WILL have a 1-3 second delay in turbo wind up, this could prove dicey when motoring in close quarters.
but hey, this post might be pointless, an its your money, do what you want.
"So the engine rpm is lower with the turbo."
Is that lower rpm still in the optimum speed range for the more powerful engine? I would expect it to be running at only 60% power, which is generally not a good point to run diesel engines.
Turbo vs conventional
Thank you all so far for you input. I am on a time line, and trying to make the right decisions, so your input really is valuable.
To clarify some questions raised, the engine sounded like the 3 cylinder Universal on my 1986 Catalina... thump thump thump... like an old fishing boat (or the diesel from the Humphrey Bogart movie African Queen)
The cylinders are scored, and well outside Yanmar specs max specs. The oil was new, and the likelihood of getting an accurate indication of the engine condition from a lube analysis was quite low.
Please comment on my rational for a 75HP turbo:
I am comparing a Yanmar 4JH4-TE 75 VS 4JH4E 55 HP
Based on the sea trial shaft speed of 2750 RPM, I was close to hull speed. From the factory performance curves, this requires a propeller power of 40 HP and generates a torque of 97 Ft-lb and 2.5gal/hr fuel consumption.
Going to the 75HP engine, the same 40HP prop power requires 2500 RPM crankshaft speed, thus a different gear ratio is needed to get the correct prop rpm. So the engine rpm is lower with the turbo. My crankshaft torque goes to 140 ft-lb, and fuel consumption drops to 1.8 gph, almost a 30% reduction! With this improvement in efficiency, I would expect that there would be less heat generated. The gearing on the new engine is also over sized for the typical load.
The Yanmar 3JH4 is a 75HP engine that runs at a higher speed, and is not one I am considering.
The advantage for extra HP is fuel economy, more low-end torque, lower rpm for normal operation, and the extra HP if needed to fight a heavy headwind, or pull off a soft grounding. I have the power curves and can send them out if anyone wants them, or you can find them on Yanmarmarine.com
Please comment on my logic, Thanks for the help
Do not, do not, do not put a turbocharger on a marine diesel, unless you need it for a powerboat or something. Weight is a secondary consideration for a sailboat motor, and you do not need a turbo on there. They rev like crazy and are expensive when they blow.
Moving up from 54 to 75 hp is a heck of an upgrade. What prop? What gearing? Can the prop take it the extra power? Does it mean a big three blade that you have to drag around with you when you sail?
FWIW, (and that may not be much), I'd stay away from turbos too.... who needs the potential extra problems, why do you feel you need so much more power?
Shame the way things have gone, but there may be a less expensive way out than full out replacement. I suspect any real cost recovery would be a long shot.

text: The second act of yesterday morning's AMC Cowboy was the John Ford directed film The Horse Soldiers starring a very gruff John Wayne and William Holden. I had no idea just how much smaller Holden is to Wayne but when they went toe to toe after a verbal spat that has Holden flipping a cup of coffee in Wayne's face, it was obvious that Holden was David to Wayne's Goliath. What a nice film. Not actually a western per say, but a war film set during the Civil War to be exact. I enjoyed both Wayne and Holden in this. Both are so manly and take no sh*t from anyone. Playing Union soldiers sent behind Confederate lines to break up their rail system. Along the way they pick up a southern belle who is held by the company for her southern sympathies. True to form though the cutie eventually falls for both Wayne and Holden. Wayne sure tussles her around some throughout though. A man's man for sure. Holden actually plays the company doctor and many of his procedures on the injured involve learned practices of the Native Americans and such. It must have been rough to endure injury during that war! No morphine or even a damned Percocet! Even John Wayne has to slug on a bottle to get through having a bullet plucked from his calf. He grits his teeth through it though and is back on his horse for the final charge! A man's man. I loved the scene were the young confederate school cadets who had to be pre-teens led a charge against Wayne's troops. All they could do was retreat since, who could kill a child? Having seen John Ford's The Quiet Man starring Wayne back in film class at B.Y.U. with my college sweetheart I knew he was renowned as a director. It shows even in this rather light weight war film. The cinematography captured rural south locales vividly. Many traditional musical pieces were thrown in as well. I am a novice with older western films and Wayne in general. Sure I have seen some of his films but for some reason I have never been a huge fan. Probably for the plain reason that his films never really dug deep into the actual depiction of violence and aftermath of. Rather innocent actually. I think now though I can finally find some real enjoyment in these wonderfully wholesome films Wayne made back then without any bias. A sign of age and a need for calm. Anyone seen this film and care to comment. God bless AMC!

Apply a liberal amount of Summer Glow™ evenly to each section of your body, starting with the lower portion and working your way up. Allow the product to dry before getting dressed and, by all means, stay away from the water until your tan has developed (about 6–8 hours later). The longer you keep the product on your skin, the deeper the tan will develop. To build an even darker tan, reapply the next day.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|I`ve seen in several cases where the rockers have to be clearenced so they don`t make contact. Usually a carbide cutter was used then checked and rechecked until enough clearence was created. Usually the contact shows up during the mock up assembly and all the rockers are checked. But I suppose it could have occured at a upper rpm blast. I can`t say I have heard of engine works stuff so I can`t give a opinion on them.
First of all you need to find out WHY the rockers were hitting the retainers, too much valve lift? rockers that aren't made properly...etc. I would say yes, you probably can smooth them out but I wouldn't take the chance, have them checked for proper ratio.
Also think about where the material is that used to be on the rockers????...circlating around through your engine? Yes you can reuse the standard nuts but why bother, they are very cheap. Polyloc's are reusable....and your last question...what isn't made in China.
Removing heads
I tore into my 383 sbc and discovered a few things and would like your opinions. First some of the roller rocker arms were making contact with spring/retainer and now the aluminum rockers have a small divot in them. Can I smooth these out with a dremel and reuse them? The divots are maybe 1/16th deep and again not on all of the rockers, I believe the contact probably was made when I had it wound tight 5500 plus??? Two can you reuse the rocker arm nuts/polylocks? Engine has less than 6500 miles on it. Has anyone heard of Engine Works products are they china stuff? Probably will have more questions this week so thanks for the help.

text: I was thinking today about the Darko draft pick and how that did not pan out. We always talk about Melo, Wade or Bosh vs. Darko. I starting thinking about what if we had gotten the #1 draft pick that year instead. Certainly Joe D. would have taken LeBron wouldn't he? 1)So if LeBron was a Piston how would this team look? I think this team would be unstoppable. Unfortunately, I think there would not be enough money to go around. So I question whether guy's like Tayshaun would still be around. 2) I think you would have to think that we beat beat the Spurs with LeBron in 2005. While they would likely shut him down there would be too many other guy's to deal with Rip, Sheed, and Chauncey. You can argue that we take out the Heat the following year in the 2006 Eastern Conference Finals with LeBron and facing Dallas in the Finals a soft team chalk up another title. So that brings us to the 2007 Eastern Conference Finals. It gets dicey there as you don't really know what team would rise up in the Cavs place. I guess we can argue that we would face the Heat again. So we would face the Spurs once again chalk up another title. So I count 4 titles back to back to back to back. 3) Is there a team currently out there that could stop the Pistons with LeBron? NO

Springfield, Mass. Led by a spirited defensive effort that held Endicott scoreless for over 39 minutes and two goals and an assist from Shawn Runyon, the Springfield College men's lacrosse team picked up a big 8-3 win over the visiting Gulls on Stagg Field on Wednesday afternoon.
The victory boosts Springfied's record to 2-1, while the Gulls drop their second-straight contest to drop to 1-2. Both schools entered the game receiving votes in this week's United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (USILA) Coaches Poll.
The win over Endicott was the first victory over the Gulls since 2002.
Runyon paced the Springfield scoring with two goals and an assist out of the midfield, while Joe Heney tacked on a pair of goals. Both Mike Delia and Kyle Louer were the only other members of the Pride to record multiple points as they each dished out a pair of assists in the win.
Marc Martinez earned the win between the pipes as finished with 11 saves while allowing just three goals. Mike Smith led the defense in front of Martinez as he was tremendous, coming up with six ground balls and causing five turnovers.
At the "X", Mark Eaton had his way all day as he went 9-of-13 and scooped up a game-high 13 ground balls for Springfield.
For the visitors, Brendan McCarthy tallied a goal and an assist, while Jack Curtis and Jonathon Prentice each found the back of the cage. Sam Ozycz won 6-of-13 draws from the "X", while Andrew Pochebit picked up a team-best four ground balls. Eric Hagarty registered seven saves in the cage while allowing all eight goals.
The Gulls struck first at the 9:17 mark when Prentice took a feed from McCarthy in transition and found the bottom corner of the cage to give the visitors a 1-0 advantage. From there, Springfield rattled off the game's next six goals to take a commanding 6-1 lead.
Runyon started the Pride's scoring burst 3:10 after Endicott's goal when he finished a Delia feed. Springfield wouldn't find the back of the net until 3:54 remaining in the second quarter as Shane Ferguson shook his man from the top of the box up top and fired home a goal on the run. 43 seconds later, Austin Orsini got free in front of the cage and delivered Springfield's final goal of the half after a sensational pass from Louer.
The Pride continued the scoring in the second half as the Pride executed perfectly in transistion to gain a 4-1 lead. After an Endicott turnover, Sean Kerrigan pushed the ball up field to Louer, who flipped a pass to Pete Sessa. The longstick midfielder made no mistake as he ripped a shot into the upper corner of the net at the 8:35 mark.
Heney pumped home his first strike of the game 36 seconds later off a Runyon pass, and Kyle Gable tacked on a man-up strike after Delia found him from behind the cage. Endicott finally scored their first goal 39:14 as McCarthy snared an errant shot and stuffed home a goal on the near post with just three seconds remaining in the third.
Runyon started things off in the fourth quarter and he netted a great goal off an extreme angle on the run to give the hosts a 7-2 advantage. Heney tallied the Pride's final goal of the game as he let one fly from 15 yards out the found the back of the cage at the 10:50 mark. Curtis registered the game's last goal as he wrapped around from behind the cage and slipped one home with 7:25 remaining the contest.
For the game, Springfield owned a 39-33 advantage in shots and a 44-26 edge in ground balls. Each team turned the ball over 23 times, while the Pride won 9-of-15 face-offs. The Gulls went 13-for-16 on clears, while Springfield went just 14-of-25.
The Pride will now prepare to take on 17th-ranked Stevens on Sunday afternoon at 4:30 pm.

The University of St. Thomas Center for Thomistic Studies and the John Paul II Forum have joined forces to host the first U.S. Conference of the Pontifical Academy of St. Thomas Aquinas, on Oct. 18-19, 2013 in Houston, Texas.
The theme of the conference, "Thomas Aquinas: Teacher of Humanity," will explore the teachings of St. Thomas on what it means to be human and what he contributes to contemporary understandings of that concept.
Cardinals, bishops and scholars associated with the Pontifical Academy around the world have been invited to attend. Among the confirmed guests are the Most Rev. Daniel Cardinal DiNardo, archbishop of the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston, who will be opening the conference, Bishop Marcelo Sanchez Sorondo, the Chancellor of the Papal Academies and the Secretary of the Pontifical Academy, and Sister Prudence Allen, author of "The Concept of Woman."
Dr. Mary Catherine Sommers, director of the Center for Thomistic Studies and an organizer of the event, said the conference will be a forum for exchanging ideas and research and tackling the problems associated with defining "humanity" in a world with many cultures, traditions and technologies.
Dr. John Hittinger, UST professor of philosophy and founder of the John Paul II Forum, said the conference will be an opportunity for the local Catholic community to hear from international scholars and Vatican officials.
"To the community-at-large, it's the play of ideas involving these questions of human nature and humanism that is interesting," Hittinger said. "The thought of Aquinas has things to teach us in the 21st century."
Pope Leo XIII founded the Pontifical Academy of St. Thomas Aquinas in 1879 to encourage the study of St. Thomas' philosophy in Catholic universities and seminaries. One of the Pontifical Academy's new initiatives, the Thomistic Legacy of Blessed John Paul II, unites the mission of the Center for Thomistic Studies with that of the John Paul II Forum.
The Center for Thomistic Studies is the only center in the nation that grants a doctorate in the thought of Thomas Aquinas. The John Paul II Forum was created to promote the understanding of the thought of Pope John Paul II.
A registration fee will be required, but UST students will receive a special discount. Cardinal DiNardo will celebrate a Mass for participants at 5 p.m. on Oct. 19 in the Co-Cathedral of the Sacred Heart, 1111 St. Joseph Parkway, followed by a banquet.
Find out about the call for papers on the CTS website or contact the Center at email@example.com.

'The Islanders got a free goal at 1:21 of the second period. Sabres center Stu Barnes had pushed a shot wide of Snow and Buffalo defenseman Rhett Warrener controlled the puck in his zone. Warrener tried a cross-ice pass to Barnes at the Sabres' blue line, but Shawn Bates intercepted it. He took a stride, then fired a shot that went over Noronen's stick and in. It was Bates's 12th goal of the season and his third in three games.'

Actually 1st i would like to explain my situation..
I am trying to create a fake access point using my laptop..
I used airbase-ng --essid fakeAP mon0 command to create a fake access point on monitor mode which creates another interface at0 in backtrack 5R1.
Now i installed a dhcpd server and running it on at0 interface to provide IP to clients which is working well.
Since i want to give an internet connection to client...
I m connected to internet through wifi using wlan0 interface
and trying to bridge at0 and eth0 interface to provide internet connection.
for bridging both interfaces i used brctl addbr mitm and added both interfaces at0 and eth0 but when i m trying to fire the command dhclient3 mitm & and it's showing some error ..
so exactly i want to know is it possible to use one wifi card for creating fake AP and providing internet also (when i m also connected to internet through wifi.) or i will have to use two(another) wifi card ???
