I like the sound of it, but I know it would hard to use in the real world. It seems like a name that would constantly get spelled wrong or mispronounced.

I think in English, Eulalie is very pretty. Yoo-lay-lee. Sweet and lyrical, and I'm finding saint names more and more intriguing (my denomination is about as far away as you can get from the Catholic church while still remaining under the Christian umbrella, but I find the stories of saints--and their charming names!--inspiring and refreshing).
However, I have some French history--my best friend was from Paris, and I've always been a bit of a Francophone--and in French, Eulalie is said like oo-lah-lee, which I find MUCH less appealing, and nowhere near as cute as you-lay-lee. Plus, the "oo" sound at the beginning of Eulalie translates essentially to the word "euh" in French, which is essentially "Uh..." which is sort of... well. Unflattering. It almost sounds like you forgot your daughter's name when you're saying the beginning of it. :/ In English, it's great--I just don't think it's as beautiful in its original language. So I can't really seem to get behind it, especially since the French aspect will always be there for me. If none of that bothers you, though, I think it's a nice name and has a nice meaning (eloquent, well-spoken). And Lalie/Layley is a pretty cute nn (or even Lolly, if you say it the French way).Ashley | namenerd | Christian | storyteller

Makes me think of ukulele (the instrument) - just missing one syllable. It is also kind of a mouthful to say - all those vowels get garbled.

Tried to boot bt5 OSdisk on 3 different window boxes, no luck.
Dmesg states "no packages found, possible not debian disk."
Was able to boot and install to older Dell laptop. Msg display, "process for the desk protocol died unexpectedly".
Same issue w/ipw2200 "not available".
Never had issues w/bt4 r1-going back to tried and true!!
Of course, if you really wanted to have some fun, go to Wal-Mart late at night and ask the greeter if they could help you find trashbags, roll of carpet, rope, quicklime, clorox and a shovel. See if they give you any strange looks. --Streaker69

Hey all,just a quick question; The syrup I've been making (2:1) has been making a 5-10mm crystallised crust at the bottom of the feeders that I think is stopping the girls from being able to drawn the feed. Am I not cooking it long enough to 100% dissolve the sugar or something?Cheers,CJ
you don't need such a thick mix at this time of the year. no need to waste sugar! at 1:1 you should be able to mix it with hot tap water. even thicker i don't use boiling water, but if getting it done quickly is an issue, boil the water first then either add the sugar to it or it to the sugar. don't boil the mix.

Pot tax opponents in Colorado report free weed
DENVER - Marijuana giveaways that sparked an unusual campaign finance report in Colorado have been given a value. The joints were worth $1,250, paid for by a lawyer funding the opposition campaign.
The watchdog group Colorado Ethics Watch filed a campaign finance against the No Over Taxation group. The group didn't disclose from where it got the marijuana cigarettes it gave away or what they cost.
The joints were given away at rallies in Denver and Boulder.
The opposition campaign field an amended report Tuesday valuing the joints at $1,250. They were donated by Denver attorney Robert Corry, who is helping lead the tax opposition campaign. Tax opponents say the pending 25 percent tax on retail pot would keep users in the black market.
Colorado Ethics Watch withdrew its complaint.

ECO-STRUCTURE recently interviewed Wilson Chang, a 2011 graduate of the Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc) master's program and the LEED AP specialist for the SCI-Arc and California Institute of Technology co-team at the U.S. Department of Energy's 2011 Solar Decathlon.
How is your solar paneling unique?
The solar panels are secured to the roof using a pipe clamp system that does not penetrate the vinyl skin membrane, which is outfitted with 42 solar panels for the Solar Decathlon in Washington D.C., but can hold up to 45 depending on user demand and climate. On the electrical side, the solar array is connected using a Tigo Energy Maximizer System that optimizes the operation of each module, keeping the array running at maximum efficiency. While we found it beneficial to be a little inventive, the scope of this competition is not only to spur innovation, but also to demonstrate that cost-effective, off-the-shelf solutions are available to the average consumer.
What other sustainable features have you incorporated into your design?
The most sustainable feature of this house, CHIP, is its compact size, which does not sacrifice user functionality or a generous interior volume. In order to reduce the water consumption, CHIP contains both a graywater system and a rainwater-collection system. The shape of the roof is designed to drain all the rainwater to the south deck, so a pan and tank is all that was needed to collect all the water. In addition to the reclaimed cedar decking, most of the insulation used in the house consists of recycled denim batt. Due to the shape of the house and the lack of walls, CHIP takes full advantage of daylight and natural ventilation, as well as more active systems such as HVAC thermal storage.
What was the inspiration of your design, and does it display any regional influences?
We looked to California's technology and aerospace industries for inspiration, but also to the California Case Study Houses that took materials and methodologies from other domains and introduced them to the field of architecture. The exterior is heavily influenced by space suits and down jackets, while the interior is geared towards occupants with an active lifestyle. The climate in Southern California accommodates indoor-outdoor living for much of the year, however necessitates a large southern overhang to minimize solar heating during the summer; both of which influenced the overall massing of the building.
How has the new affordability criteria affected the design of your house?
The affordability criteria ensures that all the entries in Solar Decathlon 2011 are viable in the real world, not only for the purposes of research, or just as a competition entry. We deconstructed typical residential wood construction methods and materials, analyzed the components, and reassembled everything in a novel way using relatively low cost and, in some instances, unconventional materials to achieve a high-performance building shell. CHIP's open interior layout reduces costs by eliminating unnecessary walls and reducing the length of MEP runs.
What will happen to the house after the Solar Decathlon?
The current plan is for CHIP to become an exhibit on the Caltech campus in Pasadena to serve as a teaching and outreach tool to demonstrate solar and sustainability concepts.

American Society for Microbiology Survey Reveals That As Many As 30 Percent of Travelers Don't Wash Hands After Using Public Restrooms At Airports.
Chicago, Illinois, September 15, 2003 – Does it take an outbreak of a frightening, potentially fatal infectious disease, like severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) or a gastrointestinal illness on a cruise ship, to get people to follow Mom's advice to "wash your hands after using the bathroom?" Apparently, it may.
Results of a new survey, announced today at the 43rd Annual Interscience Conference of Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy (ICAAC), show that many people still aren't washing their hands in public places, exposing others to the risk of infection, despite recent outbreaks of infectious diseases.
Although illnesses as deadly as SARS and as troublesome as the common cold or gastric distress can be spread hand-to-hand, the survey sponsored by the American Society of Microbiology (ASM), found that many people passing through major U.S. airports don't wash their hands after using public facilities. More than 30 percent of people using restrooms in New York airports, 19 percent of those in Miami's airport, and 27 percent of air travelers in Chicago aren't stopping to wash their hands. The survey, conducted by Wirthlin Worldwide in August 2003, observed 7,541 people in public washrooms in New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Dallas, Miami and Toronto.
Hand Washing Survey Results by City
John F. Kennedy Airport,
New York
O'Hare Airport,

International Airport, San Francisco
Dallas/Fort Worth Airport
Miami Dade County International Airport, Miami
Toronto International Airport,
In contrast to airports in the United States, the vast majority of travelers using the airport restrooms in Toronto, Canada – a city which experienced a major SARS outbreak – washed almost every time.
U.S. airport observations contrast sharply with an August 2003 Wirthlin telephone survey of 1,000 Americans, in which 95 percent said that they wash their hands in public restrooms. The same phone survey – which found only 58 percent of people say they wash their hands after sneezing or coughing and only 77 percent say they wash their hands after changing a diaper – highlights the seriousness of the problem.
In a similar Wirthlin survey conducted in 2000 for the ASM, 95 percent reported they always wash their hands with only 67 percent observed washing their hands (based on 7,836 adults). A 1996 Wirthlin survey showed 94 percent of people claiming to always wash their hands with only 68 percent actually observed doing so (based on 6,333 adults).
Spurred by the latest findings, the ASM is redoubling its educational efforts, launching Take Action: Clean Hands Campaign – a national initiative to educate Americans about health risks associated with poor hand washing habits.
"Although hand washing seems like such a little thing, it could really have a powerful impact on the way we manage the spread of infectious diseases and newer public health threats, like SARS and the Norwalk virus responsible for cruise ship illness," said Dr. Judy Daly, ASM Secretary. "The same people that fail to wash after using restrooms go on to pick up children, handle food, greet family and use other public facilities. Hand washing can be instrumental in controlling the spread of common and more serious infections," says Daly, Director of the Microbiology Laboratories, Primary Children's Medical Center, University of Utah, Salt Lake City.
However, more people may be getting the hand washing message. In the 1996 and 2000 surveys, 67-68 percent of people observed in public restrooms washed up. In this survey overall, 78 percent of those observed washed their hands, although settings and populations were different and the results may be skewed by the high percentage of hand washers in Toronto.
Dr. Donald Low, Chief of the Department of Microbiology at the University of Toronto and Toronto's Mt. Sinai Hospital, one of the lead investigators of the Toronto SARS outbreak, said he wasn't surprised by either the almost universal hand washing at Toronto's airport, or the low levels in other cities. "The message about the importance of hand washing was put out every day here," he said. "And not just because of SARS – hand washing is the smart thing to do. It should be second nature for all of us."
Low, who said that he is sure the hand washing rate in Toronto prior to the SARS outbreak was similar to that in other cities, notes that "it's such a simple, basic important tool to prevent disease transmission. Yet people ignore this step again and again. It's even been shown that health care workers don't wash their hands between patients."
"Our experience with SARS was such a wakeup call. People in the hospital here have changed their hand-washing habits. Here in Toronto, it has become a natural course of action," Low said.
Press Release
Hand Washing Survey Fact Sheet
Hand Washing Fact Sheet
• A recent survey conducted for the American Society of Microbiology (ASM) in the U.S. and Canada found that in some instances, almost one third of people who use public restrooms while passing through international airports fail to wash their hands. The survey, conducted by Wirthlin Worldwide in August 2003, observed 7,541 people in public washrooms in New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Dallas, Miami and Toronto.
•In contrast to U.S. findings, the survey found that in Toronto, which experienced a well-publicized outbreak of SARS, 95 percent of those using airport restrooms washed their hands.
•It is well-documented that the lack of hand washing spreads disease in health care-related settings; however, the impact of hand washing on infectious diseases among the general public in community settings has not been as extensively studied.
•Several studies show that most physicians (95 percent) and nurses
(90 percent) believe they wash their hands correctly; however, researchers have observed that even the hand washing technique of health care professionals can be inadequate.
Importance of Hand Washing
Disease Prevention
•Hand washing is one of the simplest and "most important means of preventing the spread of infection," according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In fact, hand washing is the first line of defense against infectious illnesses, particularly those that are commonly spread by hand-to-hand contact, including common colds, flu and numerous gastrointestinal disorders.
•Infectious diseases remain the leading cause of death and disease worldwide, as well as the third leading cause of death in the United States.
Consequences of Poorly Washed Hands
Infectious Illnesses
•While new and frightening conditions such as SARS grab headlines, flu – and pneumonia, its most common complication – IS the fifth leading cause of death among Americans over the age of 65 and the sixth leading cause of death among all Americans. The CDC estimates that 20-26 percent of Americans are infected with the flu during flu season, which typically lasts from November to March. Of these 50,000-70,000 die each year.
•The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) estimates that Americans suffer a staggering one billion colds each year, and those colds are caused by more than 200 different viruses. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 8,437 people worldwide became sick with severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) this year. Of those people who became sick, 813 died as a result of the disease.
•Hand washing may be one of the public's best defenses against the spread of both common and rare, even life-threatening, diseases such as SARS, and against gastrointestinal infections caused by the Norwalk virus, which has recently plagued the cruise ship industry.
Food-Related Illnesses
•As many as 76 million people become ill each year from food-related illness in the U.S., resulting in about 325,000 hospitalizations, and approximately 5,000 people die, according to the CDC.
•Failing to wash, or insufficiently washing hands, contributes to many food-related illness outbreaks. Hands can transfer germs from contaminated raw meat, eggs and poultry to other foods, or from an infected person to the food.
•While many people are aware that you can get sick from eating food contaminated by E. coli 0157:H7 bacteria, it is not as well known that other ways of transmission, such as touching surfaces contaminated with this strain of E. coli, also can cause illness.
•There are more than 250 foodborne illnesses. Food-related disease costs the United States up to $5-$6 billion annually for health care expenditures and productivity losses.
Infection in Childcare Centers
•According to the most recent data from the U.S. Department of Education, 60 percent of children under age six, almost 13 million, attend daycare outside their homes. Children attending daycare are at greater risk for gastrointestinal diseases and they are likely to spread these diseases to other family members and people in the community.
• It has been demonstrated that proper hand washing can substantially decrease the incidence of diarrhea in children attending daycare centers.
Infection from Pets
•The CDC has reported an alarming number of salmonella infections associated with reptiles, in both adults and children.
•All pet owners need to take adequate measures after handling and cleaning up after their pets, including proper hand washing.
Antibiotic Resistance
• In addition to preventing widespread public health epidemics, regular hand washing can reduce the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
•The CDC estimates the cost of treating antibiotic-resistant infections in the United States is $4 billion annually.

Re: PSC34 power generation/storage solution?
We installed the lights mentioned in the previous post. Following are our experiences:
1. Replacement LED brass dome lights from marineengine.com: These look very nice and give off a nice bright light. My kids love the red option, my wife likes the quality of the white light. The wiring in these lights was not as robust as the wiring in the original fixtures... made in China...
2. SMD Power Cluster Back Pin X-Beam bulb replacements for my halogen reading lamps from marinebeam.com: These give off light similar to old fashioned light bulbs. A little more yellow than the dome lights, a little warmer. They plugged into the halogen lamp fitting with no problem. High quality product.
3. Four replacement brass-looking Victory Xenon reading light fixtures: nice looking, quality seems better than original lamps. My only gripe was that I only found out after ordering that they we not in stock so they took longer to arrive.
We have also purchased a Solarland 85W solar panel and a Morningstar solar controller from emarine.com to help keep our batteries topped up. I plan to fabricate an adjustable stern rail mount for it.
Have not got around to checking out Calder's book regarding the spare marine battery. I have the book, need to dig it out and read that section. Thanks for the advice, Sam.
Re: PSC34 power generation/storage solution?
Hi there, we have two group 31 FDC's paralleled, with an echo charge connected to a Group 27 start battery. These are stored in a battery box in the port cockpit locker. Charging is via a Kyocera 130, mounted on the old radar platform above the bimini, and controlled by a Genasun MPPT controller. The platform is a little under-built for the big panel, but works well enough for now.
We also have a Powerline 70A alternator, connected to a Balmar AR5 charge controller, installed by PO.
Our electrical use is very modest, with some interior LED's, no refrigerator, etc. Sailing all night is my biggest problem, as 5" chartplotter, AIS, VHF, autopilot, and running lights use a lot of power. Just changing the running lights would make a big difference, haven't come across an affordable, quality unit yet, and we're on a very tight budget.
Good luck with fitting out your boats-
Re: PSC34 power generation/storage solution?
If you plan to have a deep cycle spare, you might want to read Nigel Calder on batteries - he contends it's better to combine all of your batteries (except the starter) into one house bank. It's easier on the batteries and simpler to operate. We used a Blue Sea Add-A-Battery switch to parallel the house and starter batteries when a charging source is present or when the combine function is selected.
By the way, the Calder reference is the Boatowner's Mechanical and Electrical Manual - highly recommended if you work on your own boat.
Re: PSC34 power generation/storage solution?
Anyone using group 31's for the house bank on a 34? If so I am interested in how you have configured storing them.
Re: PSC34 power generation/storage solution?
Followup, based on your collective help (and a little research that confirmed your advice) we ordered the following to reduce power consumption:
1. Replacement LED brass dome lights from marineengine.com. They have both red and white switches $325.23
2. 2 x 10-LED SMD Power Cluster Back Pin X-Beam bulb replacements for my halogen reading lamps from marinebeam.com $37.50
3. Four replacement brass-looking Victory Xenon reading light fixtures to replace the older bulb reading light fitures $212.14. These also have the G-4 halogen bulbs, I will replace these after I see how the marinebeam LEDs work.
Looking into a solar panel to supplement and charge our house battery now. Trying to see if we can surive with a starter, deep cycle and a deep cycle spare. Fingers crossed.
led blub
i used marinebeam.com for my bulb replacements. there priceing seem to be good. did all the lights inside my boat and 4 reading light. have not done the running lights yet . i have a 37 psc . hope this will help howard
Re: PSC34 power generation/storage solution?
We're happy you like the site! I got the LED's at superbrightleds.com, but since then West Marine has begun stocking a much larger selection at similar prices, so we have started to use them. We were even able to find the screw in lamps for the four reading lights over the settees at WM. I'm sure there are other sources but I haven't stumbled on them yet.
Re: PSC34 power generation/storage solution?
Thanks Dave. We love your web site. It is a great reference for other PSC 34 owners. Please keep it up. Thanks!
Where did you get the LED light bulbs that you used to replace the originals?
Re: PSC34 power generation/storage solution?
We have been living aboard and ocean cruising for five years. We have two 85 watt Kyocera panels mounted on a "homemade" s/s frame and three AGM 27's. This has been plenty of power for us. Pictures and notes on our website at swancruise.com.

Re: PSC34 power generation/storage solution?
Sam (and others),
Regarding: "The solar panels and wind gen are on a custom-made SS arch (kind of). It blends into the bimini and doesn't look like a normal arch. Aesthetics are important on these boats."
Can you post a photo of your SS arch? I'm planning to install a bimini and wind generator but I'm worried about what works on our small canoe sterns.
I'm also curious if anyone has used the "Superwind" (SW350) wind generator? Its specs look good, it is said to be very quiet (10 db). Can anyone vouch for its performance?

Council of Europe Anti-Racism Commission to prepare report on Norway
Strasbourg, 19.03.2014 - A delegation of the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) visited Norway from 10 to 14 March 2014 as the first step in the preparation of a monitoring report. During its visit, ECRI´s delegation gathered information on legislation, hate speech, violence, integration policies, LGBT issues and other topics.
The delegation held meetings in Oslo with representatives of the government, independent bodies and NGOs.
Following this visit, ECRI will adopt a report to be published in 2015 in which it will make a fresh set of recommendations on measures to be taken by the authorities to address racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia, antisemitism, and intolerance in the country. Among these, two will be revisited in two years' time as part of an interim follow-up procedure.
In its 2008 report, ECRI highlighted, among others, the following concerns: lack of comprehensive and easily retrievable data on incidents that may constitute racist offences and on the way in which the criminal justice system responds thereto; the difficulties encountered by the victims of discrimination in asserting their rights.
ECRI is a human rights body of the Council of Europe, composed of independent experts, which monitors problems of racism, discrimination on grounds of ethnic origin, citizenship, colour, religion and language (racial discrimination), as well as xenophobia, antisemitism and intolerance, prepares reports and issues recommendations to member States.
For more information on ECRI: www.coe.int/ecri

If you are on cloud nine, you are extremely happy.

This is the shortened form of the full idiom, 'better the devil you know than the devil you don't', and means that it is often better to deal with someone or something you are familiar with and know, even if they are not ideal, than take a risk with an unknown person or thing.
"I know my boyfriend doesn't treat me very well, but I figure, better the devil you know…"
"This isn't the perfect neighbourhood, but then, neither is the other. I guess we'll stay here… better the devil you know!"

If something is part and parcel of your job, say, it is an essential and unavoidable part that has to be accepted.

"I worked late every night last week, but I guess that's part and parcel of being a manager."

I have never taught elementary level students and I have to do a lesson plan on Simple Past Questions and short answers, I wonder if this lesson plan is suitable for elementary level and is it a good lesson plan?
Lesson Plan[/b]
1 Warmer: Memory game (matching), Snakes and ladder to review last lesson.
Go over homework if assigned.
2 Show pictures of what some make up characters did in the past. (Things they have learned, places they have been to, and things they do when they were a child.) Elicit the simple past question by asking questions about my life (Did John learn ice-hockey? No, he did not. Did John learn ice-skating? Yes, he did.) I will show them flash cards of the sentence I said and the answers for the first few ones as examples. Then I will take away the answers and try to have them answer themselves.
3 I will choose a few students to ask other students questions about things that I have illustrated on the board. For example, "Did John learn ice-skating?"
4 Drilling chorally and individually.
5 Matching exercise. Match the words (flash cards) to the pictures to check the students' understanding of the words.
6 Have cards of scrambled questions in envelopes, and the students that I picked out has to come out and try to put the scrambled question into a correct question on the board. Then the students in the class have to answer the question.
7 Pair work. Students ask and answer questions with the pictures that were used in the presentation and have the students ask their partners about the pictures and see if they have did it in the past. They will be asked to note down the questions they have asked and their partner's answers.
8 Plenary.
9 Activity (Bingo). They have cards with different things on and they have to go around and ask people and see if they have previously done it. If the person has previously done it, he/she has to initial it, and when the person who has the whole bingo card filled up he/she should call out bingo, the first one wins.
10 Plenary.
11 Game: (There are around 60 cards of characters doing something.) Students are separated into 4-5 groups and each team get 6 cards. For each card there are 2 other identical cards. The teams must try to get as many sets of identical cards as possible. They do this by taking turns to choose another team and asking them for one of their cards using the sentence structure:
"Did Bob play tennis?"
So if team A asks team B this question, and team B has any
Bob playing tennis cards, they must reply, "Yes, Bob played tennis". Then they give their Bob playing tennis cards to team A, who then get a point.
If team B does not have one of these cards, they must say, "No, Bob didn't".
In either situation, team B can pick up another card from the pile of spare cards providing they reply using the correct English.
12 Homework:
1. Read a paragraph of what the character did and make up ask much Simple Past Questions as possible.
2. They will be given worksheets with answers on and they have to try to make Simple Past Questions with the hints provided.

Good advice, Jim.My experience with this is different:" . Do not let Nuc raise its own Queen. This does not normally result in a quality Queen. Often they are from old larvae and become intercaste Queens (part worker & part Queen). "I have done splits many times and let the bees make their own queen with good success.
could you ? cut strip of new eggs, smash every other inch down with finger to queen frame ? FatBMan has a video

The Church of England and the Church of Sweden clashed over the issue of whether same-sex couples had the right to religious wedding ceremonies. Two high ranking bishops in the Church of England let Swedish church officials know that by granting wedding rights to gays and lesbians they were engaged in a "fundamental re-definition of the Christian doctrine of marriage and of basic Christian" thinking. The Swedish church is engaged in the process of changing wording in the marriage ceremony so that the words, "man and wife" would now become, "lawfully wedded spouses." The Church of England has its own internal conflict over the issue of gays and lesbians, so those in positions of power do not intend to allow any church to open the door to gay and lesbian marriages.
There is no question many churches in the western world are attempting to reconcile their fundamental beliefs with the reality of cultural changes which now indicate most people accept the right of same-sex relations and marriage. Perhaps, the more fundamental issue in this conflict is whether church officials or members of the congregation decide what is Christian.

The Organization of Africa Trade Unions(OATUU) expressed its outrage at the failure of the South African government to protect the rights of immigrants during the recent riots which have torn apart that nation as anti-immigrant mobs roam the streets of Johannesburg. "It is unacceptable and against African tradition for poor African migrants to be made the victims of rage and frustration of the poor and unemployed black South Africans. It is aso against the spirit of Pan-Africanism and African unity, and a disservice to Africa's economic intergration." Hassan Sunmonu, secretary-general of OATUU, was particularly upset at the manner in which South African police and military forces failed to afford effective protection to immigrants.
African trade union leaders are furious at President Mbeki whose failure to act more decisively undoubtedly played a role in spread of violence. "We are particularly outraged by the massaive scale of the attacks and the apparent leisurely response of the law enformcement agencies who seemed unable to muster the will to apprehend the savage attacks. Judging from television footages, some of the wounded and dying victims were just left to their own fate, without any intervention by relevant municipal authorities to aid them or ward off further attacks."
The Nigerian government believes most of the attacks were directed toward Zimbabweans and Somalis more than to people from Nigeria. Zimbabwean refugees have no government which will defend their rights and to return home is to return to the horror of starvation and life in a totalitarian state.

Hey there! I know its been....quite some time.... Alright, that is a bit of an understatement.... BUT! I figure why not come back with a BANG! Hope you all will join me for my welcome back roleplay. So I hope you enjoy~ xoxo Aoi <3
Welcome to the New World.
The Year.... 2000 PC
Postquam Corrigenda
Latin for 'After Reform'
What reformed, you may ask?
Why, the Earth of course.
Welcome to Pangaea Ultima.
As you can see, the Earth is no longer the world we once knew. There are no longer a plethora continents or countries. The governments have all combined into one extreme elite reminiscent of what was once called "So******m", "Communism", and "Capitalism" all combined. The Country is known as Proxima and, as time has told us before, the leaders of said government are corrupt beyond repair. But what is a single teenager to do?
Proxima is split up into 10 Sectors, each Sector having its own specific Geographical "Identity" (ex. Mountainous, Desert, etc..). Each of these Sectors have their own Economical Role as well. These Sectors are split into Districts (which resemble States) and Each District has its own Provinces (which are much like modern day cities).
Proxima itself is surrounded by the Amasia Ocean on all sides. The only other Ocean is the Nova Sea, the large body of water in the Southern Hemisphere of the Mainland. In the very center of this Sea is an island which hold a large detention center for the most intelligent, most diabolical, most talented, and most troubled....teens that is. It is here where the characters of our story meet.
Your character is one of these teens. Nonconforming. Uncontrollable. Evil. At least in the eyes of the government. So, your parents or guardians or the court of law nearest you sends you away to Scotese Island, home to the hell hole known as Verto: a high tech, high security, prison-like school for said troubled teens. It is here you will rot until you can be, as the name suggests, Transformed.
There is One Student from Each Sector.
Sector One: Found just above the Nova Sea. It houses the Capital and all other major Legislative Provinces. Charisma. Politics. Wealth. Power. Lies.
Sector Two: Continuing North, it is above Sector One, bordering the Amasia Ocean. This Sector is known for its large Provinces filled with skyscrapers and machinery. Its citizens are skilled with metals and machinery.
Sector Three: Moving Clockwise, this region is to the right of Sector Two. It's specialty is power, harnessing nuclear, solar, and other forms of energy to power The Mainland. There are many factories and warehouses in these Provinces, the Northern-Eastern Region.
Sector Four: This Sector, just South of Sector Three, is skilled with their hands. They are the crafters and artisans, from textiles to furniture to just about anything non-technological found in one's home. Many of the Districts here are Large Shopping Centres.
Sector Five: Unlike previous Sectors, this Sector is less populated and filled with trees. Found along the South-Eastern regions. The Northern Provinces are mostly Old Growth Forests, the middle section is more Temperate Evergreen, while the Southern End is more Tropical Evergreen. This Sector is known for its Logging Industry as well as some hunting.
Sector Six: Found along the South, this Sector takes up most of the Southern Border of the Mainland. It is known of its Fishing industry and wide, spacious beaches.
Sector Seven: Continuing Clockwise, this Sector takes up the South-Western Region. The Southern most sections are filled with plains and fields of crops used to feed the nation as well as farms (both crop and animal). The middle region is filled with rolling hills, expanses of flowers and trees. To the northern boarders are the various orchards.
Sector 8: This region borders the North-West, consisting of the Patagonian Valleys in its south and the Laurentian Mountains to the North. This Sector is known for its Mining of Coal, Oil, Precious Metals, and other various items.
Sector 9: The large expanse between Sector 8 and Sector 2 is a vast desert-land known as Sector 9. The citizens from this Sector are known for their subterranean Provinces as well as their astounding technological skills. All of the technology fashioned in the Mainland is thanks to this Sector.
Sector 10: The only Sector not found on The Mainland, this Sector is filled with anything and everything exotic. Most of the Island is covered in Tropical Rainforest, the Districts containing people found in around the borders with one major District in the center.

Ex. Leader of a NeoNazi Group? Head of a Modern Yakuza Clan? Modern Day Mob boss? World Class Arsonist?
Age: (13-19)
Appearance: Please elaborate. Add any photos to the end.
Bio/History: How, why they ended up at V.
Sector: Sector Nine
Name: Rehybekca Kaylien Isobelle Marvel (Rey-beck-ah Kay-leen Is-oh-bell Mar-vill)
Nickname: Bex or Bexx
Student Identification Number: 01520B
Class And Specialty: Hacker with Specialty in Computer Uplinks and Networking.
Age: 17
Appearance: Rehybecka is taller than most girls her age standing at around 5 ft 10 in at about 150 pounds. Her figure is slim and she prides herself on holding the correct posture all the time. Her skin is fair, with a slight tan to it thanks to her father's roots from Sector Seven and her mother's ancestors form Sector Ten. She has thick eyebrows, a wide forehead with a fairly straight hairline. Her dark brown locks are straight with a slight wave, tumbling down to barely kiss the tops of her chestline. Her breasts are slightly below average with a medium B-cup, her long torso leading gracefully into her even longer legs. Her eyes are slightly small for her face and her lips are uneven, her lower lip being much fuller than her upper. She is rarely seen without make-up because she feels pale without it. Most people from her Sector see very little sunlight because it is too warm during the day to venture into the sun without getting severely burned. She is typically seen wearing glasses and carrying around her various technological 'devices'. Her style is more classy than most of the outlandish styles of the day. She tends to stay away from crazy prints and neons, sticking with black and white with a small hint of color. Her favorite "casual" outfit is her white button up frock tucked into her black, high waisted pencil skirt, her black pumps and a red bow tie matching her glasses.
Personality: Rehybecka is what you call a chameleon. She should not be trusted, although it would seem she is the most trustworthy of all. She is intelligent to a fault with all the knowledge of the world at her fingertips thanks to her handheld. She has a photographic memory and skilled fingers. She is quick, cunning, witty, and calculating. If you were to compare her to an animal, it would be a fox. She will use people to gain information or aid when she wants and toss them aside when she is done with them. She can hold a mean grudge and is more concerned about herself than anyone else. If she does trust you, you are one of the very few. She will be loyal to the few she is close with. She is skilled at lying and deception, but if she takes a liking to you she will be blunt and honest. She is a quick thinker and, although it she may seem unthreatening, you better sleep with one eye open if you cross her. She will most likely not get her hands dirty, but she had plenty of people who would gladly help. She is a bit vain and conceited, believing she is above certain others because of her intelligence. She hates being told no and hates being coddled.
Bio/History: Rehybecka grew up like many others in her Province. In Sector Nine, she was a genius. She did not excel in her classes because she did not wish to. Instead, she intended to stay hidden among the masses until the time was right. Her father was killed when she was very young and her mother was too busy trying to make a living to be of any use to her. She only ever really cared for her older brother, who was drafted into the Legion, the army and peacekeepers of Proxima, where he was driven to commit suicide. Or so her family was told... When Rehybecka received a video from her brother a week after his death, she was thrown into a world of deception and corruption where she would never escape. Vowing to avenge her brother's death and expose the Government for its injustices, Bexx started planning her moves. Like a chess game, she used various pawns and pieces to gain influence, knowledge, and power. She was caught hacking into the Government's main database, earning her a one-way ticket to Verto. Little did they know, V is exactly where Bexx wanted to be. Where else would she find the worlds most intelligent and maniacal group of teenagers that hated authority as much as she did? No, they believe to be in control, but Rehybecka Marvel is always one step ahead.
Other: Bexx may be an evil genius so to speak, but she does not always have a plan. She needs a team. She is the brain, she needs more brawn, more leadership, and more tactical support. Despite what she may believe, she needs help. She is also very confused about her sexuality, unsure if she is interested in males or females. Her physical strength is mediocre to average and the sun can still irritate her eyes if she is exposed too quickly to a lot of light.
Please Don't Hesitate to ask if you have ANY questions at all~ I hope you enjoy! xoxo Aoi

Arsenal legend George Eastham will receive a World Cup winner's medal thanks to a new Fifa ruling.
Until the 1978 tournament in Argentina, only those who played in the Final itself were given medals. Now, following calls from the Football Association and England's 2018 World Cup bid ambassador Richard Caborn, all squad players will be retrospectively honoured.
Every finalist between 1930 and 1974 will be rewarded, with a medal going to the families of those who have died.
"It's justice for all those players," said Fifa president Sepp Blatter. "We will go through our history records and reproduce medals, and we will give those medals to all those who have been in the squad and not just those who were on the field of play."
Eastham won 19 England caps but did not play a single minute during the country's World Cup triumph in 1966.
He was a popular player at Highbury, making his debut in December 1960 and captaining the side during Billy Wright's time in charge before leaving Arsenal in August 1966. Eastham scored 41 goals in 223 matches for the Gunners and was awarded the OBE in 1973.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Fox Civil War: Defense Department budget edition
Today, Mike Huckabee voiced support for certain Defense Department cuts proposed [1] by the co-chairmen of the White House National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform on Fox & Friends, while Sarah Palin urged Republicans to oppose defense cuts.
Palin wrote "An Open Letter to Republican Freshmen Members of Congress" on her Facebook page [2] today:
You need to say no to cutting the necessities in our defense budget when we are engaged in two wars and face so many threats - from Islamic extremists to a nuclear Iran to a rising China. As Ronald Reagan said, "We will always be prepared, so we may always be free."
Fox News' America's Election HQ, Foxnews.com [3], and Fox Nation highlighted Palin's letter.
By contrast, on Fox & Friends today, Huckabee argued in favor of the defense cuts proposed by the White House commission:
DAVE BRIGGS: I was surprised, though, that the right wasn't as outspoken about some of the defense cuts that we need to make. A hundred billion dollars slashed out of that beast of a defense budget. It's unpatriotic to come out and talk about the defense budget, but their Pentagon is accepting airplanes that they don't even need.
HUCKABEE: They don't need and that they don't want. And what happens is, we're still designing a lot of military hardware for a war that we don't plan to fight. And, Robert Gates the Defense Department secretary, who I think has done an excellent job, and he has been one of those willing to grind sacred cows into hamburger and serve it rare, has really helped to identify ways in which we can keep ourselves strong, not cutting the military strength and not hurting veterans. There are two things Americans don't want to do, number one, get weak and, number two, hurt the veterans who kept us free. But those priorities don't have to be bloated with a lot of stuff that really is not about keeping us safe and protecting and caring for veterans. So yes, there are areas of the defense budget that need to be looked at honestly.
This isn't the first time that Palin has been at odds with another GOP official and Fox News contributor. We've noted the charges lobbed [4] between Palin and Fox News contributor Karl Rove and their [5] allies [6] as a prelude to the 2012 Republican presidential primary.
Who at Fox News has taken sides on this issue so far?
Sean Hannity is on Palin's side. He attacked [7] the deficit commission for wanting to "gut the Pentagon," on the November 10 edition of Hannity, saying "they don't realize there is a war; this is what's infuriating."
On the other hand, Glenn Beck has come out in favor of cuts in the defense budget. Beck advocated for cutting the defense department budget by "30-50 percent" in a chapter of his book Broke titled "Declare War on Defense Dollars," saying "[i]f Democrats are going to be asked to make difficult choices in cutting their favorite programs, then Republicans need to be asked to do the same." (Page 331)
In addition, Fox News' John Stossel listed [8] some of the Deficit Commission's recommendations, including cuts to the Pentagon's budget, and said the spending cuts "would be a good start." Stossel has also suggested [9] tea partiers should be concerned about the "exploding military budget" as well as other government spending.
And when Andrew Napolitano was guest-hosting an episode of Glenn Beck, Napolitano showed a clip of Beck advocating for cutting defense spending, and added, "I vote for the plan."
From the September 6 edition of Glenn Beck:
BECK: It's time to take on the defense budget. Roll up your sleeves, here we go! The United States spends approximately $102 billion to maintain our troops around the rest of the world. Watch this.
This is for our fleet around the world, bases overseas, OK? $102 billion on overseas defense. Add to that about $148 billion just on Iraq and Afghanistan. That is $250 billion.
Why? Why? Half of the world's expenditures. Why? Here is the deal. I'm tired of being the world's policeman. We can't do it anymore. But in most cases, we're not the world's policemen. We're the world's loiters. We need a new loitering policy.
And the policy comes from progressives. The Republicans, they say we're going to send the green helmets in and we're going to nation- build our way to global security. Be more like us.
The liberals, the Democratic progressives - they say we'll do it through the United Nations. We'll send in the blue helmets, which we pay for. This doesn't work. The idea of "let's take the armies and eventually put blue or green helmets on them" doesn't work.
I don't want a global government. I don't want a global military force. And for all of the Donald Rumsfelds out there who are watching me, cursing me out right now because, "This is no time to get rid and cut defense spending," this will help.
Are you ready? This is the world's spending. This is how much - this is - who accounts for all of the military spending in the world? Here it is. There is South Asia, Africa. This part is Russia, right here. Here's the Middle East, East Asia. Here's China. This is all Europe.
Here is America. Almost half of every dollar spent on all military expenditures the entire globe, we spend 47 percent of it. The next biggest spender is Europe. That, by the way, is not a country. That is a whole collection of countries - 20 percent. $289 billion is what they spend on military-related expenses. $289 billion for everything.
We spend $250 billion protecting their ass and fighting a war we're supposed to be partners with. For our defense? Don't tell me we can't afford to cut back because can.
We already found over $400 billion to trim from the budget, and we have just done a few things. All we need is commitment and common sense. But we also need an understanding. We need to have a real dialogue with Americans.
NAPOLITANO: I vote for the plan. (retrieved via Nexis)

I just finished the preliminary cold cast aluminum.
It needs some fixing in a few "bubble" spots.
Its my very first attempt at modeling, and casting so bear with the flaws.
Ill post some of the pix as i go along.
[edit] forgot to add what i did:
Its cast in dragonskin boot mold.
2gel layers aluminum dusted mold aluminum filled polyester resin.
1 roto layer aluminum filled urethane smooth-cast roto.
1 fiberglass cloth layer
1 layer reinforcement polyester resin.
Later i will dremel off the spikey bits on the inside and do 1 more layer of urethane roto and trim it up of course.
Lining will probably be felt.
Then on to the paint job.

By Richard Clarke
Manuel Almunia is well aware that his Arsenal side have to do better this season.
The Spanish keeper remains confident about the campaign to come because his team have had some "brilliant moments" so far. However he is "so upset" with the eight-point gap between Arsenal and leaders Liverpool. The 31-year-old, who was captain in Portugal on Wednesday, appears to be fully abreast of the standards expected at Emirates Stadium.
"We have a big, big responsibility," he said. "This is Arsenal.
"The Club has thousands of fans and we have to realise that to wear an Arsenal shirt is a big value and you have to be worthy of [it]. We have to remember that we are lucky people.
"We are so upset [at the moment]. We are not happy with this season. We've had some brilliant moments, against Chelsea and Manchester United, but it's not enough.
"We are far from the top of the League. Last season we lost three games and we've already had too many defeats.
"But I have confidence in us and the way we play [also I feel] we are mature enough to take the responsibility."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source


text: My 964 feels like a turbo in many ways as in the power bad really jumps when i get into the 5k's. When i jam on it in the 3,4's and the rpm's rise to around 5 there is a big acceleration sensation that reminds me of the spooled up turbo feel. I have to be careful on wet days because it can get out from under me.

I started a new thread from this one...
Well here are some of the REAL SW toys I was talking about.... (smiley added so readers know I'm joking around.)
I can't take credit for all of these, this is a collection of mine and my brother, it is all at his place cause I don't have the heart to split it all up.
And cause i'm into full size SW stuff anyways... Many of our original figures are gone.
We never really had many SW toys, my mom could only afford a few and those are the ones that meant the most to me... She worked at a major Dept. store so we saw ALL the SW toys you could imagine....
I even remember seeing the very hard to find utility belts...I wanted the Luke one so bad...but my mom said no.(the following 3 pics are the ones I saw waaayy back in the day) I think these go for $5000 mint. DOH!
Anyways I guess this is why I ONLY love original SW toys... My mom, she worked her butt off and still tried to make us happy... I miss being a kid.

Hey all,
I've been playing around with these V-Dubs for quite a few years now and have never made a build thread, think the time is right.
I have had a solid but rather unattractive '81 as my summer ride for a few years now, unfortunately due to electrical issues I was not able to enjoy it much last summer.
The time has come for a restore and I have been collecting parts for a few years now, the interior in the '81 was on the losing end of a fight with a battery and the rear seat and carpet had acid burns in it. Finding a complete interior for a S1 is impossible in my part of the world so I ended up buying a 1975 barn find parts car.
Unfortunately it spent too many years in the barn and the bottom of the car is missing lol. It did have a lot of tasty extras on it not to mention the unique old skool parts.
So my plan is to salvage what is left from the '75 and use the '81 as a base.
I hope I am not offending the Scirocco purists
A few pics to get the build rolling
Here is my '81
And here is the '75
The previous owner took out the drivers seat in the '80s and put in the this prinz race seat, so the original seat is in pristine condition
Apparently the orinal 1.5 has had a lot of work done to it, I wonder if it will run after sitting for 15 years??
I will try to get some pics this weekend.
It's going in for paint is a couple weeks so!!

This site, called Racjonalista, which receives an average of 10 thousand visits a day, also provided information about the works of Harun Yahya. Some of the statements carried under the heading "A Major Creationist Muslim Offensive" read:
"This impressive book says that Darwinism underlies all kinds of evil mind sets. The Atlas is 768 pages long and weighs 5.5 kilograms. It is a flawless work, in A3 format and printed on very high quality paper. Its cloth cover contains holograms of animals. The book contains thousands of colored illustrations, graphs and diagrams. Such books are very expensive in bookshops. But this book has been sent out free of charge to many people around the world."

Lesley Hazleton:
On reading the Koran
Lesley Hazleton sat down one day to read the Koran. And what she found — as a non-Muslim, a self-identified "tourist" in the Islamic holy book — wasn't what she expected. With serious scholarship and warm humor, Hazleton shares the grace, flexibility and mystery she found, in this myth-debunking talk.

Santi Cazorla could be one of the buys of the season, according to Arsène Wenger.
The Spain international signed from Malaga less than two weeks ago but has already endeared himself to the Arsenal fans after a sparkling debut against Sunderland.
Cazorla came close to scoring on three occasions and created the best chance of the match for Olivier Giroud. In the end Wenger had to settle for a 0-0 draw but he was delighted with his new Spanish playmaker.
"He played very well and looks like he could be one of the buys of the season," said Wenger.
"He has everything you want in the game. He can play short, he can play long, on the right or left, he can play the final ball and works hard as well. He is a fighter so it is very positive for us.
"[He settled quickly and] that shows people who say you need to play a long time together. Great players do not need a long time [to settle]."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Charles Sale has authored an excellent website which offers a great service to genealogists. Charles has taken photographs of headstones from a large number of churchyards and cemeteries and having indexed them offers a free search service of the index. If a relevant entry is found an email request can be sent and Charles, bless him!, then emails you a copy of the actual photograph.
The website and service is free, but a donation is always gratefully received. I noticed that Charles comments that many people don't email him any thanks and do not acknowledge his photographs and index. Come on fellow family historians people such as Charles really give us the icing on the cake for our family history and need to be recognised for it – so if Charles has helped you as least thank him!!

Social justice advocate talks of healing society of racism
Americans are "less racist at a conscious level" than ever before, but at an unconscious level, the issues of race that are "a habit of our society" still prevail, said renowned social justice advocate john a. powell, who spoke recently at Wayne State University Law School. And until we can find our way to move beyond the institutional racism inherent in our system, we cannot heal ourselves and find real harmony, he said.
Professor powell chooses not to use upper-case letters in his name as a tribute to those African Americans, who, when gaining independence from slaveholders, reclaimed their personal authority by removing the capitals from the names their oppressors had given them. He leads the University of California Berkeley's Haas Diversity Research Center as a faculty member at UC Berkeley School of Law and departments of Ethnic and African American Studies.
He is the author of several books, and read from the latest of those, "Racing to Justice: Transforming Our Conceptions of Self and Others to Build an Inclusive Society," but he also spoke out on the issues that have drawn his scholarship and activism since he was a young man growing up in Detroit.
"Race is one of our main ways of 'othering,'" powell said. "What many believe to be true is true in its consequences. If we practice race, then race has real consequences. The way we do race is a habit of our society. In this country, race is what shapes so much of the world."
Race is a social construction in our society, a system of dominance by one group of people over other groups of people, and to suggest that we fully deconstruct that system causes "incredible fear" and "deep anxiety" in many of those who strongly define themselves as the ones on the top of the hierarchy, he said. The Tea Party rhetoric opposing President Obama is an example of that deep-seated "anxiety," he said.
But getting past the established system to arrive at meaningful discussion and an ultimate healing is "not about shame and blame," he said.
"Going beyond shame and blame is how you talk about it," powell said. "We have racial anxiety. It doesn't make us racists."
Talk of being "race blind," even by justices of the nation's highest courts, is senseless, he said. The structure of society's institutions has to change on a deep level, and pretending, saying and wishing that racism doesn't exist won't make that happen.
"It can't simply be done at a conscious level," powell said. "We can't think our way out of it. It's not just a political project, but also a spiritual project. We can't understand the self without understanding the 'other.' What we haven't done is really pay attention to offering an alternative."
"It is an honor to have Professor powell speak at the Law School," said Peter Hammer, professor of law and director of the Damon J. Keith Center for Civil Rights. "He is one of the most insightful people writing on issues of race today." In 2009, powell was the inaugural Damon J. Keith Distinguished Visiting Professor of Law.
His lecture was sponsored by the Damon J. Keith Center for Civil Rights at the Law School, by the Michigan Roundtable for Diversity and Inclusion, by the Population Health Council of the Detroit Wayne County Health Authority, by the Michigan Universal Health Care Network and by MOSES (Metropolitan Organizing Strategy Enabling Strength).
A national voice on race and ethnicity, powell is a co-chair of the Population Health Council, which addresses racial and other health disparities.

Posts Tagged 'hp ceo resigns'
Image credit: Dilbert.com
There is generally a lot of energy and enthusiasm around the hiring of a new CEO; especially in a distressed company.
- Where did they come from?
- How great they are?
- Are they are going to turn things completely around in one quarter? NOT!
Excessive coverage by the media even before the new CEO officially arrives and during the early stages often makes matters worse! If a company is doing well, the CEO does not leave or when it is time to leave, there is a well planned succession plan. So, in the case of IBM, the January arrival of the new CEO was in the works for a long time, was a smooth transition and not discussed much in the press. Almost a non-event! The problem is with highly distressed companies, where the CEO has left or most often been let go with some Hollywood-like drama, and like the next episode of Dancing With The Stars, the anticipation (and press) for the new CEO gets overblown. Ah, will the celeb fall down, or screw up… and millions gladly tune in every night!
The fact is that a distressed company needs time to formulate and execute a vision, rebuild the enthusiasm and internal morale and establish a solid presence. This is not solely done by bringing in a new CEO. If you are ill, it doesn't matter how you dress, the illness is paralyzing and soon enough reality will surface! Examples are plenty but I would like to two recent cases.
First, Hewlett Packard. In a span of 12 months, HP went through the drama of ousting one CEO, bringing on and firing a second CEO. Then transitioning a board member to be CEO. HP is an example of a superbly competent company, a legend, in fact. But before this 12 months of repeated overhauls, the company was still adjusting to integrating major acquisitions and building its identity and an integrated company. That takes time. Each major CEO transition completely changes teams, execs, vision and priorities. Imagine that happening three times in twelve months! These are the nasty details that we on the outside world don't hear about. Sure, HP still sells tons of products but let's respect the fact that the new leader has to have time to build the company up, AND, just because there is a new CEO, doesn't mean the employees just adapt immediately. They have to be convinced, inspired, elated to be part of the new CEO's drive and vision.
Second example, Yahoo. In what will go down as one of the more unprofessional exchanges between an ousted CEO and the board, and much to my dismay, another top female CEO bit the dust. Yahoo was a huge player and for the last several years has struggled to establish its path. What is Yahoo great at and how can it diversify? And now they also had the void of waiting for a new CEO. In came the new CEO this month and with it, unrealistic expectations that magic will happen. First, Yahoo as a company will need to work on developing its identity, strategy and inspire its staff. In parallel, the Co-Founder leaves at exactly the same time! That can't be good, right?
Yes, if a company is extremely well run with a strong vision, market strategy and acceptance, a new person can assume the CEO position and rock and roll. An example is Steve Job's selection of Tim Cook as CEO of Apple. But let's face it, Apple's identity is so strong right now, the culture so innovative, that the new CEO's job is to continue to drive it forward, not establish a new vision or work as hard to get buy-in internally or externally.
What do you think? For now, I will say that I don't think a new CEO is the golden solution. There are many cases we can analyze together.
Would love to hear your thoughts!

I just finished this, so I figured I would post it up. The bottom edge of the "chin" probably needs to be wider, but since this is the only y-wing helmet pep in existence, I don't think anyone will complain too much :P The depth of the inset areas is exaggerated to allow for resin and bondo, so don't freak out about them being so deep. Also, the top of the head is a bit square-ish, but is only noticeable at a certain angle. I have attempted making this thing several times and they all looked like a Picasso painting of Jabba the Hutt. I am very pleased with how this one turned out. Thanks to Ywingfighter for the references. I may model the visor as a vac-form buck, so you guys with vac-forming equipment can make your own visors. Speaking of which, if there is a visor that is hard to find or make, send me a pm and I will try to model a pepakura buck for vac-forming.
This is a .pdf of a Pepakura development, so scaling up may be difficult, but you can always make it smaller if needed. I used a model of a head inside the helmet to visualize the scale compared to screen references, then I measured my head. It should be about right, but my math may be off for the metric conversion. If it is totally off, I will release the .pdo individually by email and pm.
Anyway, on to the file.

0ver a career building boats, working wood, and remodeling houses, I've learned that great jigsaws are like great boats and great sports cars: tight, precise, and easy to drive through a turn. Like all boat builders, I cut a lot of curves, and the tool I rely on most for that is my jigsaw.
Having owned both wonderful and lousy jigsaws (and sports cars), I know that good design counts more with jigsaws than with many of the other tools in my shop. Luckily, I could tell just taking these tools out of the boxes that the saws in this test are greatly improved compared with the models available even just a few years ago.
Test Criteria
I tested eight saws: the Bosch 1590EVSK, Craftsman 27719, DeWalt DW321K, Hitachi CJ120V, Makita 4340FCT, Metabo STEB105 Plus, Milwaukee 6266-22, and Ridgid R3120. I used them for three weeks on boatbuilding and cabinetmaking jobs, and dialing-in finish carpentry. I noted features that made the saws user friendly, like easy blade changes, fast base tilt, and a good dust blower. I also studied each saw's performance by cutting plywood from 1/8 to 3/4 inch, various softwoods, and hardwoods up to 8/4 inch thick. I also cut Lexan, Plexiglas, and aluminum. I timed crosscuts on SPF 2x6s to gauge speed and power. I also scroll-cut details and tight circles to check blade wander or swayout. To keep things fair, I used the same brand and types of blades in all the saws.
Cutting Performance
We ask a lot from a jigsaw, and high on that list is getting a square cut in tough materials. We also want a smooth-operating, comfortable saw that stays on a thin pencil line and doesn't jump in thin material but also has the power to muscle through 2-by and countertop stock and doesn't pile up sawdust on the cut line.
Scrolling and Swayout. Swayout, or blade wander, is the tendency for the blade to deflect, particularly when scrolling, which results in out-of-square cuts, particularly in thick materials. All the saws in the test have roller guides near their bases to steady the blades, which functioned satisfactorily. Bosch takes blade control a step further with its unique "precision control" feature; it's an extra guide, activated by a button on the side of the tool, that clamps over the blade to steady it.
I tested for swayout cutting a tight scroll pattern in a section of 6/4-inch maple countertop, a job that will make any blade want to wander (or just run away), then checked each cut's accuracy with a try square. The Bosch's blade deflected about 1/32 inch with the precision control feature engaged and about 1/16 inch without it. The Makita has no such feature, yet exhibited only a hair over 1/32-inch swayout–impressive. The Metabo, Milwaukee, and Ridgid came in with about 1/16-inch swayout, while the Craftsman and Hitachi exhibited about 1/8-inch. The DeWalt's cut was 3/32 inch out of plumb. In softer materials like SPF, PT, and cedar 2-by, all the saws performed much better, with near- perfect cuts.
Smoothness and Feel. Cutting to a line, say for a cabinet filler or notching a laminate countertop blank for wall irregularities, is precision work. I used each saw to cut along a scribe line that followed a slight belly in a plaster wall at the end of an upper cabinet run. I cut in various hard and softwood species and other materials I have in my shop, including mahogany, maple, maple butcher block, teak, marine plywood, white oak, yellow pine, pressure-treated, Lexan, and Plexiglas. I ran the saws through the materials using each of their orbital cutting settings, and they all performed as I expected them to. The Bosch, Craftsman, and DeWalt models, however, were a little smoother when the line curved, especially in tough material.
Handles. During this portion of the test, I found myself noticing the each tools' handle layout. While they all have well-shaped primary handles and each one felt comfortable, I also hold a saw's head for extra control on precision cuts like scribes or countertop penetrations, and I found Hitachi's the most comfortable. The Makita is also a dream following a scribe line. Next I like the DeWalt and Milwaukee, followed up by the Bosch, Metabo, Ridgid, and Craftsman.
Sight Lines. The wire guards in front of the blades on the Makita, Hitachi, and Ridgid can obscure the cut line from certain angles. This is a very minor problem, but in a tight spot, such as cutting inside a cabinet, it can be annoying. The Metabo and Ridgid blade guards fold up, which is a good solution.
The Makita has a bright light in front of the blade. At first I thought it was gimmicky, but I quickly came to appreciate it; the light makes it much easier to follow a dull pencil line or cut out the back of a base cabinet for plumbing penetrations.
The sight lines on the remaining tools are very good.

I finished this build a few months ago and wasn't able to test it till last wek. I had problems with it cycling fully. There were a couple of tight spots in the receiver that needed a little more attention. after getting the bolt to run smooth I took it out today and ran a couple hundred rounds through it. it runs romanian surplus fine but has problems with the 50's yugo ammo. the primer hits look good but there are a lot of misfires with it
here is a video: mg34video
now I need to tear it down and park the receiver.
