I printing and mailing some 8x10 photos on letter paper for some of my friends in Italy. I know they use A4 paper in Europe and I do not have any. The question is should I print my photos 8x10 inches or should I be using another print size? If so what size is it?

I´m planing to scratch build myself a Boba Fett Jet Pack. What helped me out was that I found a drawing of the Jet Pack her in the forum, not gonna mention the name of the maker.
From this I´ve been making a drawing of the bottom, and the sides.
I plan to post a tutorial when I start this.
Now I´m just finding the right material. I plan on using a PVC pipes to make the fuel tanks and Missile launcher. For the back and sidepanels I´m thinking about using a sheet plastic or wood. Think I´ll go with the plastic.
My main headache is how to make the rocket it self. Any input would be helpfull.
This is the largest scratchbuild project since I made my E-11 blaster.
Will need a bigger workstation here at home.

ATLANTA--Well, this looks like the same old thing. Just look at this box score.
P.J. Hairston: 4-of-15.
Dexter Strickland: 2-of-9.
Marcus Paige: 0-of-4.
Reggie Bullock: Zero points in the first half and nine for the game on 4-of-9 shooting, just 1-of-4 from the three-point line.
Oh, well. We've kind of gotten used to this in Atlanta, haven't we? This is getting ridiculous. Carolina came into the night a combined 1-9 in football and basketball--one stinking win!--in Atlanta over the past decade, and those numbers above suggest the Tar Heels assuredly must have suffered their fifth hoops loss in six tries at Georgia Tech in the Roy Williams era. I am not coming to Atlanta anymore. Just forget it. There's no point anymore, because...
Wait, what? Even with the above figures, plus with only one player on the roster (Leslie McDonald) shooting better than 50 percent from the field and with the Tar Heels losing the rebounding battle to the Yellow Jackets for the second straight game in the series, Carolina managed to collect a precious road win, posting a 70-58 victory in front of a sellout crowd.
The victory extended one of the most remarkable streaks in the history of a remarkable program: the Tar Heels have now swept at least one two-game series from an ACC opponent for every year of the conference's existence (this is where we all give thanks for Clemson during the 2001-02 season).
How did they get this particular back half of the sweep over the Jackets? Not with the much ballyhooed smaller lineup. Not with the suddenly potent offense that raced to 93 points against Virginia on Saturday. But with something slightly unexpected: defense.
The Tar Heels held Tech without a point for seven full minutes in the final period, and the 12-0 UNC run during that stretch was the third-biggest against the Jackets this year. Carolina forced the Jackets into 19 turnovers, eventually using those miscues to fuel a 12-0 run midway through the second half; the eventual 22-point lead the visitors built after a pair of Paige free throws with 4:50 remaining was the largest deficit Georgia Tech has faced this entire season.
In other words, it was a complete road domination...and they did it with defense.
"We were trying to play in the passing lane," said McDonald, who came off the bench to score 15 points. "Coach told us their guards like to attack screens, so we wanted to attack them before they attacked us."
About the way they played those screens: Roy Williams, the man who is often accused of being inflexible, has made a subtle change in the way his team defends ball screens. Over the last three games, the Tar Heels have frequently tried to "flat out" opposing ball screens. The difference is miniscule, but it's been effective.
In the old way, when opposing ball-handling guards tried to use a ball screen, the Carolina big man would show out hard, then get back to his man immediately. Now, well, let Paige tell it.
"We've had the big guys stay flat and drag the ball handler out side-to-side until his man can get back," Paige said. "It makes it tougher for them to make a pass out of a ball screen. They would try to create after the screen and we were able to get some interceptions. Being able to have a couple different ways to play it and mix it up some really helped us out today."
It helped immeasurably, because Carolina actually didn't shoot the ball that well. They hit just 37.9% from the field (third-lowest in a win this season), and managed just 30 percent from the three-point line (fourth-lowest in a win this season). Hairston and Bullock combined to go 2-for-11 from three-point range, and all of the above sounds like a recipe for disaster until you consider that the Tar Heels' defense enabled them to spend very little time in the second half in a conventional half court offense.
Instead, Carolina would simply wait for Tech to make an error, swipe one of their 14 steals, and sprint the other way. Carolina's 14 fast-break points were the second-most allowed by Brian Gregory's squad--which heavily emphasizes transition defense--this season.
"We were able to get in passing lanes and get deflections, and that led to a lot of run outs," said Paige, who contributed four of the steals. "At times, our defense tonight was a lot better getting out and denying and enabling us to get some easy baskets."
The defense and resulting offense had the effect of doing what Carolina has sometimes been unable to do this year, and take the crowd completely out of the game. By the time only a few minutes remained, the light blue in the stands in Atlanta--one of the biggest UNC strongholds outside of North Carolina, and a place where residents were thirsty for some bragging rights--was so dominant that they got a hearty "Tar"-"Heels" cheer going.
Many of those same fans waited out by the Carolina bus after the game, where the Tar Heel players and coached posed for photos and signed autographs well past 11:30 p.m. on a chilly school night. It was worth a few extra minutes delay. It may not have been especially recognizable, but it was worth remembering: So this is what a win in Atlanta looks like.

Green Bay to Battle at League-Leading Valpo Wednesday
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - After sweeping a four-game homestand to vault up to third place in the Horizon League standings, Green Bay (10-9, 4-2 HL) heads to the road for four-straight games. The road trip begins at Valparaiso (15-5, 5-1 HL), the defending Horizon League champion, on Wednesday night at 7 p.m. CT. The Crusaders are sitting one game ahead of the Phoenix in a tie for first place.
Freshman Jordan Fouse (Racine, Wis.) led the Phoenix in last week's victories over Youngstown State and Cleveland State, highlighted by his 17-point, 10-rebound effort against the Vikings on Saturday afternoon. The Phoenix won 77-50, the largest margin of victory by the Phoenix in a league game since a 78-49 win over Youngstown State on Feb. 5, 2005. Fouse was not alone as four Phoenix teammates reached double figures in the win (Sultan Muhammad-15, Alec Brown-14, Keifer Sykes-14, Brennan Cougill-11).
FOLLOW THE PHOENIX: Fans will be able to catch Wednesday night's Horizon League showdown at Valparaiso exclusively on ESPN3. Will Haskett will be on the call handling the play-by-play duties alongside color analyst Joel Cornette. To access the game on ESPN3, click here.
The game will also be carried live by WDUZ The Fan 107.5 FM/1400 AM and online at thefan1075.com. The play-by-play voice of the Phoenix Matt Menzl will be on the call alongside Andrew Gavin. Live stats will be available on GreenBayPhoenix.com. You can also stay up-to-date by following @GBPhoenixMBB and @GBGavin on Twitter.
1. INSIDE THE SERIES: With wins in three of four games the past two seasons, Green Bay leads the all-time series with Valpo 26-16. The Crusaders hold an 11-9 edge in the ARC, but the Phoenix won 63-61 in Valpo exactly two years to the day of Wednesday night's game. Then a freshman, Alec Brown (Winona, Minn.) had 15 points, six rebounds and three blocks in that victory.
2. IMPACT FRESHMAN: Fouse's impressive performances last week earned him his first honor from the Horizon League. The 6-foot-7 Fouse was named the Horizon League Newcomer of the Week on Monday after averaging 14.5 points and 9.5 rebounds per game. One of only three Green Bay players to start each game (Brown, Sykes), Fouse leads all Horizon League newcomers in rebounds (2nd), steals (3rd) and blocks (4th).
3. DEFENDING THE HOME COURT: Green Bay's 4-0 homestand was built on the strength of impressive defense. Mixing up man-to-man and zone defense, the Phoenix allowed just 50 points per game and 32.6 percent shooting in the four games and added 26 blocks and 29 steals. Getting a season-high six blocks from junior Alec Brown, Green Bay had 10 blocks in the win against Cleveland State, tying for the second-most in program history. Fouse tied a school record with seven steals against Loyola.
• LAST SEASON'S MEETINGS: Green Bay and Valpo split a pair of contests in 2011-12, with Valpo holding off a furious Green Bay charge (90-87) on Dec. 31 and the Phoenix winning 75-60 at the Resch Center on Jan. 26. In that win, Kam Cerroni (Sussex, Wis.) made five three-pointers and scored a career-high 23 points. In the two meetings, Cerroni went 8-of-13 from long range and averaged 17 points.
• BROWN VS. THE CRUSADERS: In four career games against Valparaiso, Brown has been consistently tremendous. The 7-foot-1 Brown has scored at least 15 points in each game and is averaging 18.5 points and 9.3 rebounds per contest. He is 26-of-51 (51 percent) from the field and 22-of-23 from the foul line in the games. Last year at the ARC, Brown went 8-of-15 from the field and totaled 21 points and 11 rebounds.
• LOOKING TO JOIN THE CLUB: On the strength of his 74 points against Valpo, Brown has 963 career points and is closing in on becoming the program's 25th member of the 1,000-point club. The last Phoenix player to join the 1,000-point club was Rahmon Fletcher, who also did so as a junior in 2009-10.
• RESERVE ROLES: Despite playing just three players off the bench, Green Bay got 31 points from its bench against Youngstown State. Freshman Carrington Love (Milwaukee, Wis.) made all three of his shots and 5-of-7 free throws en route to 11 points. Also off the pine, senior Brennan Cougill (Sioux City, Iowa) and Cerroni added 11 and nine points, respectively. The 31 points scored off the bench was the second most by the Phoenix this season and most in a Horizon League game.
• FREE AND EASY: Green Bay is second in the Horizon League, and its 75.2 percent from the line ranks 20th nationally. The Phoenix is 321-427 on the season and, among teams ranked in the top-25 nationally in free-throw percentage, Green Bay has made the third-most free throws. Green Bay has made more free throws than any other Horizon League team, and on its recent four-game homestand the Phoenix made 30 more free throws than its opponents attempted.
• DOUBLE THE FUN: Against Cleveland State, Fouse (17 points, 10 rebounds) and Cougill (11 points, 10 rebounds) both had double-doubles to give the Phoenix six double-doubles this season. The game marked the fifth time in Green Bay's Division I history that two players had double-doubles in the same game, and the second time this season. Brown (17 points, 13 rebounds) and Cougill (17 points, 10 rebounds) against Southern Utah on Nov. 16. Remarkably, four of the occasions with two double-doubles have happened under Wardle.

"I ordered these for my daughter to give to her friends. They are adorable and the perfect size. I like that they don't have a "to:" line, so she can pass them out without having to fill in specific names first. One will make a cute keepsake for me too."
"I was very impressed with the quality of this card. My son was so excited to have his picture and name on the card. He is really looking forward to giving these out on Valentine's Day."
"I ordered these cards for my son for Valentine's Day to hand out with some sweet treats. The quality is outstanding! The Card is just adorable!! I let him choose the picture and design, we had a blast putting it together. The size is small, so it can't be mailed, but otherwise, perfect for its purpose!"
"I LOVE THIS ONE!!!! When they came I didn't realize they were so small but they worked perfectly for what I wanted them for. it was LOVE LOVE LOVE at first sight."
"I purchased these for my 3-yr-old son to give at preschool. I changed the "from" text to red, and changed the font to one with a more handwritten look. These are printed on a nice heavy cardstock, and the colors are suitable for boys or girls to give. Very happy! Note that the size is tiny, I didn't pay attention to the dimensions."

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|no problem, im just the type that can look past the made in china part. hell for all i know i might have been made in china. i just think that maybe somebody might have been interested in them. i drive a 74 chevy shortbed prerunner 4x4 with 35s and 3.73s. with the performer rpm it felt kinda sluggish off of the line and now i have the crosswind and that really woke this vortech motor up off of the line. while were on the subject of made in china, i was adjusting the valves on the new engine today and alot of my stuff is made in another country. alternator-mexico, electric fuel pump-china, intake-china, water pump-mexico, power steering pump-mexico. its really amazing how much equiptment is actually made in other countries.
If you made it all the way to this message you must be as interested in the air gap discussion as I am. A few weeks ago I picked up a used (cross wind) Power Plus manifold. Air Gap is the Edelbrock name. I got it with a bunch of other parts and didn't pay much attention until I decided it would look good on my 69 Camaro small block, so I started to polish it up. About half way through the job I noticed the "Made in China" stamped on it. At that very minute I stopped polishing and put the manifold back on the shelf.
Even if the made in China was not visible when on the car, I would always know it was there and could never enjoy it. I have since decided to keep my Holley manifold and change carbs.
I had a Power Plus single plain intake go through my hands a couple years back and I was surprised at the quality. I have had edlebrock and Holley both, and I thinkt the power plus casing quality was just as good. And the intake was a dead ringer for a Brodix Intake. The Air gap looks like they used an edlebrock unit to build their molds. I dont know how they are getting away with it. It would be interesting for one of these guys with a dyno to check the numbers on the two and see if they perform the same.
twistedtrik - I stopped by Baxter's auto parts tonight and checked out the Power Plus version of the Air Gap. I gotta say there is little to NO difference! That's kinda scary considering Edelbrock must have a patent on the design. If they don't sue the guys who make these pseudo AG's real soon for patent infringment, my guess is they make an aftermarket profit from them. What's REALLY scary is the quality of the Power Plus product really isn't all that bad.
You can't buy nothin' made in the states anymore.
Thanks for the info. - Primemover
|first, from what i've read, if i were in the market for a new intake for a street racer it would be the air gap. second, i didnt know they made a performer air gap either. and, i think a splash guard would be just as good with an rpm, (which i am currently running, allbeit regrettably because of my weight problem-i'm a fatso) i am actually looking more towards the new low-end (rpm-wise, and i dont mean model of intake there, i mean power band) or even putting a STOCK intake on for low end torque. it pisses me off that a co like edel will slack off on QC. tenth, i dont want anything that says made in china on any of my cars. period. hell, it doesnt even have to say it as long as i know where it came from, 11th i would plan on using a die grinder on whatever i buy.
|DV, Man I don't need that! I think I'll stick with Vic's outfit or maybe, Weiand, did I spell that right? I might just fire him off an email about the flaws I saw in the AG at the Roadster Show.
|the power plus is made by professional products. true the ports were a little rough but nothing a dremel cant take care of. and yes they do say made in china but as far as that goes 90% of the replacement parts we buy are made in china. and if that part really bothers you its printed facing into the lifter valley so nobody is going to see it anyways. so if anybody is still interested in them the best price is probably through speedway motors.
|Just my 2 cents on the power plus products, a customer brought me one for his car, the ports were a disaster, they looked as if they had been ground out with a hand grinder, it had "made in china" stamped on it in several places. needless to say, i didn`t like it much. as far as the MSD goes, and you don`t want any clutter on your firewall, maybe the Pertronix Flame Thrower module and coil for HEI will work for you as well as it does for me. they cost around $80 for both, and there matched to work together as a team, it works up to 7500 RPM`s. I`ve had no problem from mine, and nobody`s the wiser you have one since the stock HEI cover bolts right back on. just my 2 cents. Good Luck and Good Roddin to ya Prime.
|twistedtrik - who makes the Power Plus?
|S10, It really looks like I'd be loosing ground to go with the 2601. I think the RPM AG will work on my motor but I can live without all those extra one-manifold-fits-all bosses... I think my money would be better spent on a new dist. and 6AL box. I hope they come with long enough leads to go under the dash with 'em, I don't like all the cluter they create. My firewall is busy enough.
|4 Jaw Chuck
|Thats Red baby!
I don't know like i said before I guess they took more pride in the finish of the Air Gaps when they first introduced them.
Here's a picture of the Air gap on My Camaro
http://www.westcoastforums.com/albums/album18/CNXT0069.jpg
I just received my new RPM Air Gap and it was an insult to have "Made in America" on it. I have seen parts from third world countries look better. (visible seams, flash) I do believe it is the best dual plane manifold avalible though.
Later, Mark
|not that you guys want to hear my two cents as a newbie and all, but i wanted to try the performer rpm air gap. with vortech heads my price before shipping was 259.00. so i decided to try the power plus manifold. when i got it i matched it to a buddy of mines air gap. they are absolutely identical with the exception of not saying edelbrock. they fit both early center bolt and all older small block heads. i had a performer rpm and the difference is very noticable. i paid 162.00 and that included shipping for another 20.00 or so i could have went fully polished. it has the 4 corner cooling and cast in nitrous bosses. and hasnt leaked a drop.
I see what your saying.. It sounds like I need to research this thing a little better before I get any money out. I might just stay with the old Performer RPM. The combination I have now, pulls hard up to 5800 with an out-of-the-box 670 Street Avenger, HEI dist. and 1-5/8" Flowtech ceramic coated blockhuggers. My power band limitations are most likly due to limited distributor advance, rather then carburation and manifold flow. I've got a new 750 double pumper I'll try on the old manifold before I spring for a new Air Gap.
Thanks again

Looks a lot better from the last time u posted the beast how much are u dropped btw?
in that photo i had 1/14 inch left of threads left. the lowest part was probably a few inches off the ground. i raised it back up when i scrapped it twice driving to spots. i dont have a skid plate and i need a clutch before i buy one so it will be at a drivable hieght
Yours seems pretty low for only 1 1/4. Just placed an order for my Coilovers. I was thinking 2 in front and 1.5 in back. Hopefully, It's not too low.
1 1/4 is how much i have left not how much i lowered it. i lowered it like 2 1/2 to three maybe and i dont even have the rear adjusters in
Ohh I see misunderstood

What local extracurricular programs help students with disabilities learn about technology?
The following resources can serve as a starting point for finding state and local programs where students with disabilities can learn about technology.
Each state provides technology-related assistance to individuals with disabilities who live in that state. These state programs are funded by the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR) as part of the Assistive Technology Act of 1998. To find the AT Act Program in your state, consult the Technical Assistance Partnership State Contact List.
The Alliance for Technology Access (ATA) is another helpful resource for finding technology information and assistance in your area. The ATA is a national network of resource centers focused on technology access for people with disabilities. To see if there is an ATA Resource Center in your area consult the listing of ATA Centers.
Some high schools sponsor after-school technology clubs and some community organizations such as the Boys and Girls Club of America provide technology classes after school and/or during the summer. Some community colleges and libraries provide technology training and support.
Other local resources include organizations focused on specific disabilities, such as Easter Seals, United Cerebral Palsy (UCP) or Lighthouse for the Blind. High School/High Tech is a national network of programs designed to help students with disabilities explore opportunities in technology-related fields.
For additional resources consult DO-IT's Accessible Technology resource page.

From HaskellWiki
|import Control.Monad
The MonadPlus class is defined like this:
class (Monad m) => MonadPlus m where mzero :: m a mplus :: m a -> m a -> m a
The precise set of rules that MonadPlus should obey is not agreed upon.
- Monoid — mplus and mzero form a monoid:
mplus mzero a = a mplus a mzero = a mplus (mplus a b) c = mplus a (mplus b c)
- Left Zero — mzero is a left zero for >>=:
mzero >>= k = mzero
- Left Distribution:
mplus a b >>= k = mplus (a >>= k) (b >>= k)
- Left Catch — this is rarely advocated, but Maybe and IO satisfy this as an alternative to Left Distribution.
mplus (return a) b = return a
Which rules?
Martin & Gibbons choose Monoid, Left Zero, and Left Distribution. This makes [] a MonadPlus, but not Maybe or IO.


text: Annette, I removed most all the comb, then smoked them from the cavity towards/in the set up. After they had all exited I used some bee quick to keep them out of the cavity. I realized there was some more honey comb inside a void that was running the left side of the tree (my left as I'm facing the new set up from the backside of the tree) which I cut out after dark. Once this pocket was opened I was able to remove what comb was left. Incidentally there were about a thousand more bees in that section of the tree that I had to combine with the majority of the bees that were already in the new set up. (which btw, I had already sealed and placed in my truck.)I had to take the set up from the truck, place the hive back onto the tree and allow the remaining bees to enter the hive. I left to go home around ten o'clock that night....JP

I would LOVE to find some of those lids! I tried to find the translate button on that website but no luck.
Merely a setback... I do have some German contacts I do business with."Dear Mr. Coates,many thanks for your inquiry and your interest in our items. For us it's not possible to send items to the USA, because we don't do any export. Maybe you have another contact in Germany who can buy it for you here in Germany and then send it to you. We only can send items with a German invoice and delivery address.-- Best regardsi.A. Mario Evers"
Three beekeepers I know of in my area sell honey. One, the largest, sells it at $4/lb to stores, markets, etc. (larger orders) and $5/lb. for small (personal use) orders. Another sells honey at $6/lb. And another sells his honey at $15/lb claiming it's of superior quality and purely local, no sugar water added, treatment-free bees, etc.I don't sell (or extract) honey yet but if I do it'll be $5-6/lb and $45 for a gallon (12 lbs.; would come out to $3.75 a pound).
Mike,Welcome to the forum. This is a lot more useful information if folks know what's "your area". :-DIf you update your location in your profile, it will display it to the left with all your post and not show you as "hopelessly lost"....Location is extremely important in beekeeping, affecting everything from honey prices to beekeeping techniques and advice. :)Also, depending where you are at, I think your per pound price sounds low...don't sell your or your bees hard work short. :)
Those are some awesome lids, and they've got the 63mm bee on the Aster. I hit them to see if they ship direct to the US.I did some preliminary math and assuming purchasing 100 from the German company it was 14 € with 7,40 € in shipping. That's $.30 per lid before shipping to the US. Assuming $30 for international shipping we're pushing $.60 per lid. Currently the standard lids cost $.20 in the US. Not a deal killer but put the hassle factor in there and it tips to the no-go side if they can't ship to the US. I'm not giving up though.I bought out the 100+ of the 63mm printed comb lids I found domestically, but that source is now dry. I'm heading to Canada in a few weeks (non-beekeeping business) where I'll check out another source during down time.

I am trying to decide if the area of the Boise River, south of HWY 21, between that bridge and the diversion dam is good to go for duck hunting. I have a call in to F & G but have not heard back from them. That area down there has a sign, with a satellite map, outlining the area closed for conservation. There is an island that is not in the conservation area boundaries I was thinking about hunting. I walked out to it today, and saw plenty of hunting sign, such as bloody snow, a blind, and empty shells.
I want to get out one last time this year with my 5 year old boy and this is super close to my house.
Anybody have any insight?

Hiring SUCKS.
Yea it's a hard process... but it also literally SUCKS away your time.
Oh cruel (and fat) SumoGod!
As soon as I get SO busy that I need to hire someone, it sucks up MORE of my time just to hire them??
Fortunately Chief Sumo Noah Kagan has been through this a million times before.
He's also famously impatient... so he's developed a system that literally eliminates all the crappy candidates automatically and only shows him the cream-of-the-crop (and we Sumos LOVE cream).
The way he does this is by using four tools that EVERYONE has:
With this system he automates the whole hiring process by setting up clever obstacles for people to jump over... and having the software filter all the crappy candidates.
This system lets you eliminate all the crap BEFORE EVER TALKING TO A SINGLE CANDIDATE!! Sounds impossible... but it's not.
Noah spills the secrets to his automated hiring system, and LITERALLY SHOWS YOU via screen capture step-by-step what he does.
So if you have to hire people (or are about to hire people), this video is an absolute MUST-WATCH.
Noah recently showed his system LIVE at the PIEpdx conference, and every jaw in the room was on the floor.
People were getting carpal tunnel syndrome because they were writing stuff down so quickly.
We're offering a candid video-demonstration of Noah's system for a stupid-low price for today only.
Now we Sumos will happily exploit our founder and keep this video of his hiring secrets for sale... HOWEVER... we are not generous enough to keep it this cheap for that long.
In fact, it's pretty stupid for us to give away this information at all. So pretty soon, the price on this action video will skyrocket.
Right now it's priced at only $49 (keep in mind you're getting the hiring secrets of a fat-and-seasoned entrepreneur)... but it will only stay that way for a LIMITED TIME.
After that the price jacks up. So get your fat Sumo-fingers on this NOW and start learning to hire LIKE A SUMO.
The Sumo Squad
P.S. These are TRIED AND PROVEN hiring techniques from a guy who's been-there-done-that (#30 at Facebook, #3 at Mint, Founder at Gambit, Founder of AppSumo)... so listen up and learn.
P.P.S. While Noah was recording this, the whole office SHUT THE HELL UP and listened to him in awe. No one even knew they were hired with this system!
P.P.P.S. If you're hiring people... grab this now. It's that good. Seriously.
I mean for $49 you could have put together some basic templates and tools. Nothing really that amazing.

The video is only 25 minutes but worth it. Noah walks through the process of hiring a personal assistant, going from over a thousand applications to only calling two people. This allows him to focus on running his business instead of reading resumes in Microsoft Word.
His system is based on the idea that a person that works hard on the job application and interview will also work hard on the job itself. Noah says that if I ask for a Skype number and you don't have one, just go create one, be proactive.
The AppSumo Hiring Secrets system is the employer's version of Ramit Sethi's Briefcase Technique.

Just hired my 5th employee (wp developers) using Noah's hiring formula. It seems so stupid easy and that's because it is.
This formula teaches you to:
- Hire based on traits (never seen a resume)
- Find AMAZING people (98.9% certainty)
- Save time interviewing. Srsly I've only done one interview each time we hired. Nobody has left after over a year. I didn't have to fire anyone. And now I have an epic team that I work with everyday. We get shit done!
Make your life easy, go get this course.

This is a very clever and useful way to hire. You still have to work to do with this system, but your effort is well-spent. I sorted through 40 applicants in one day, interviewed the top four, and have been extremely happy with the hire I made. I will definitely use this system again in the future.
I dock one star for not mentioning that certain features of the system (google autoreply) no longer work the way they're supposed to.

Looking to hire some 1099 sales people for my company, and this deal presented itself at the perfect time. Now I'm looking to stunt, like I'm a MORBIDLY-OBESE SUMO, even if I'm really starting out a skinny little sumo. =/ Either way, this hiring process is going to save me a ton of time and will hands-down get me in front of the best applicants right away, rather than sifting through the hot messes lurking the craigslist ads spamming every employer with their boring ass resume. Cant thank you enough for sharing these simple, yet supremely powerful hiring secrets!!

I've hired a LOT of people over many years.
I always hated the time it took. I was busy! Who now has time to interview people?!
I knew how to find and hire brilliant people, but it took sooooo long to find the jewel amongst ALL the <sigh> rubbish that I felt obliged to review.
If I only had some of the smarts that are in this short training. It would have saved me hours and hours of wading through so many applications and conducting countless unnecessary interviews.
This short training is straight to the point, humorous to watch and truly fantastic information. Loads of great ideas.
Please do yourself a favour and invest in the tiny cost of this. You'll make your money back by the truckload in saved time and frustration. (and if you can't afford this maybe you shouldn't be hiring!) :)

I am not currently hiring people. When I think about how much time, energy and punched walls I could have saved...this is something anyone who ever hires someone should use. I think about all the other applications: not just filtering job applicants, but people pitching ideas or any projects. I am not tech savvy in the Silicone Valley sense and this process is so ridiculously simple. $49 is so inexpensive when weighed against the frustration value!

I like appsumo and this hiring approach is interesting. However, the admin use-case was too watered down for me to really get value out of it. I was hoping for something to assist in hiring more technical talent (software developers, sales engineers, etc).
If you are looking to hire an admin with an automated, A/B split testing type approach, then this video will help you do that.

Hey, do I need a technical background to implement this?
Thanks Noah!
is this overlap of the old course?
is this worth buying if i bought the other craigslist course?
this seems old also.
How does this deal compare with the other hiring process deal made by Appsumo? Are they the same process? If I get both, will there be overlap?
Great question, I would certainly like to get an answer also...
November 1, 2012
I asked this same question and the answer was that this one has been proven many times over within Appsumo. So, this is the one that comes highly recommended. However, I am not sure exactly how that answer's the question.
November 13, 2012
any update? i bought the craiglist one, is this worth buying? this is alittle lapsed also.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa.
The distance medley relay shattered the school record and the NCAA automatic qualifying mark, and freshman Tianna Madison soared to victory and a provisional measurement in the long jump, pacing the eighth-ranked University of Tennessee women's track & field team Friday night at the Penn State National Open.
Responsible for the sensational DMR showing of 11:03.42 were sophomore Brooke Novak (Kaukauna, Wis.), who led off with a 3:23 effort in the 1200 meters; junior Dee Dee Trotter (Decatur, Ga.), who steamed to a 52 leg in the quarter; junior Nicole Cook (Petersburg, Va.), who knocked out a 2:05 count in the 800; and senior Lindsay Hyatt, who sealed the deal with a 4:41 readout in the 1600-meter closer.
The Big Orange collaboration, which was running together for the very first time, laid waste to a school record of 11:18.58 (Valerie Bertrand/Shawn Moore/Gina Wilbanks/Alisa Harvey) that had stood since the 1987 SEC meet. It also obliterated the Horace Ashenfelter III Indoor Track record of 11:15.92, which was posted by a West Virginia quartet in 2000.
To put UT's distance medley race into perspective, the blazing time it posted here in week three of the season would have been good enough for second place at last year's NCAA Championships meet. Only North Carolina's 11:00.20 would have been better.
"It is a very talented group, and they ran very fast tonight," Head Coach J.J. Clark said. "I have to say they ran faster than I had anticipated. That is a time that could do
very well at nationals, and considering they ran by themselves tonight, it was an excellent performance."
Adding to the impressive DMR showing by Clark's squad was a 'B' tandem, which finished second in 11:38.91 and bagged the eighth-best reading in the program's duration. Running with that unit were senior Jessica Southers (Ashland, Ky.), junior Antoinette Gorham (Glenarden, Md.), senior Kameisha Bennett (Dayton, Ohio) and junior Elizabeth McCalley (Knoxville, Tenn.).
In the long jump, Madison uncorked a season-best leap of 20 feet, 5 3/4 inches (6.24 meters) to notch an NCAA provisional measurement and chart the fifth-best mark in the country this season. Despite opting out of the long jump finals to focus on the 60-meter dash finals, the Elyria, Ohio, product wound up winning the competition with a leap that ranks her fourth on the UT all-time performers list and first in the Southeastern Conference in 2004. Fellow rookie Edra Finley (Mobile, Ala.) stretched the tape to 18 feet, 3 1/4 (5.57m) on her first attempt and finished 11th.
"It was good to see Tianna come around and show what she could do in the long jump," Clark said. "She has very good composure for a freshman, and I look forward to seeing her do even greater things in the future."
In the finals of the 60-meter dash, Tennessee fared well, but the late night race (9:45 p.m.) did not induce the intended results from any of the competitors. Madison covered the distance in a provisional 7.41 to finish as the fastest collegiate competitor and second overall to Nike's Rachelle Boone, who won in 7.32. Taking third overall was junior Toyin Olupona (Orillia, Ontario, Canada), who also met the provisional standard in 7.43. Trotter made the finals, but the coaching staff opted to hold her out after her ferocious 400 on the DMR.
The finals were pedestrian in comparison to the preliminary round of the 60 meters. Madison, Olupona and Trotter all won their heats in convincing fashion, with the first two reeling off times that met the NCAA provisional standard. Trotter was the first to advance to the finals, doing so in a career-best 7.49 to claim heat two. Madison was the next to qualify for the money race, zipping to a personal-record 7.38 to take heat six and wow the crowd with the fastest time of the prelims. Finally, Olupona nearly matched Madison's output, cruising to a 7.39 count to finish first in heat eight.
Sophomore Caitlin Ward began the day in a very positive manner for Tennessee, as she registered career bests in all five events en route to a second-place finish in the pentathlon. Ward, from Gibsonia, Pa., finished with a personal-record score of 3,650 points, just missing the NCAA provisional mark of 3,700 for an event that is returning to the national championship meet this season. That tally also moved her from fifth to fourth on the school's all-time performers list.
After opening with a sixth-place time of 9.36 seconds in the 60-meter hurdles, Ward came back to take second in the high jump, with a top clearance of five feet, 1.75 inches (1.57m), and was the runner-up in the shot put at 37 feet and a half inch (11.29m). She then closed out the competition with victories in the final two events, winning the long jump at 17 feet, 11 inches (5.46m) and taking the 800 meters with a 2:20.95 clocking.
"Caitlin Ward had an outstanding performance, achieving PRs in every event," Clark said. "She was only 50 points off the NCAA provisional, and she demonstrated she has an opportunity to medal at conference if she keeps improving the way she showed today. She had an excellent meet."
Even a former Lady Vol got into the successful act, as 2003 alum and current track & field graduate assistant Sharon Dickie ran the 5000 meters unattached and left the field behind en route to victory. Her 16:26.2 clocking was a lifetime best, replacing the 16:28.19 mark she posted in finishing eighth at the 2001 NCAA Indoor Championships.

A couple days ago, I was having a terrible day. I was sleep deprived and hungry too, so that just made me that much more irritable. I get a phone call from a number I don't recognize, although I did know the area code. Thinking it was my out of state friend, I answered.
Intrusive Lady: Hello! I'm from XYZ College, doing a study on cell phone users. Thank you for your time! Are you a college student?"
Mk: huh? Um, yes?
(the thought of hanging up hadn't entered my mind just yet.)
IL: ok, thanks. And....(insert expletive here) my computer is having problems. Oh you WOULD die now, wouldn't you! Sorry. You sounded very nice. Good bye.
And she hung up on me. And I was confused, amused, and surprised all at once.

Next time ANYONE calls selling stuff, and you have the time, be really happy they called, tell them you are certainly interested, and fill out the stuff. When it comes to payment, give them your card number, but do it wrong.
When they say it's not going through, give them the number again, but do it wrong again.
And when they say it's still not going through, give them a different number, but wrong. Keep changing one digit. Eventually, they cry and apologise they can't help you.
For the 40 minutes you've pissed them around, you've saved others from their misery :D
For added points - keep pausing to sort out the kids: "I won't be a sec" then potter around for a minute, then go back and carry on ;)

I was getting plagued by scam calls and rather than cut off the phone during work hours (which wasn't really an option as I have ill rellies), I bought one of these:
It forces callers to give their names and means you can "zap" cold / scam callers very politely.
I've not felt so relaxed working from home for quite some time!

Naomi Campbell
Naomi's staying power has been proven time and time again as a supermodel of choice for world renowned fashion designers and stylish magazines.
AppealWe hate to refer to Naomi's appeal as exotic, but there is something very distinct about her. She is one of nature's most subtly sexy creations.
SuccessIf we were to rank Naomi's success based on her long-term success, she would get top marks. Through the years she has maintained a consistent presence on magazine covers and has increasingly spent time on the silver screen. She is now known simply by her first name, which is the ultimate sign of fame. Her face and especially her strut down the catwalk are instantly recognizable.
Naomi Campbell BiographyBy her early 20s, the Jamaican-Chinese, British born Naomi Campbell had already conquered the fashion world. In the wake of her conquests she set modeling runways and magazine covers ablaze with a sophisticated, sultry style that has made her both a media star and an international celebrity.
After only a few years in the modeling business, she quickly began breaking new ground: Naomi was the first black model to appear on the covers of Time magazine, as well as the French and British Vogue. Since then, she has become a veritable renaissance woman and proved to be exceptional beyond the realm of supermodel.
noami releases baby womanIn 1995 she made her debut as a recording artist with Baby Woman, released by Epic Records. Her release "La La La Love Song," with Japanese singer Toshinobu Kubota, reached No. 1 in Japan. Naomi has also appeared in numerous music videos for such artists as Jay-Z, Prince, Usher, Madonna, and in Michael Jackson's sizzling video "In The Closet," directed by Herb Ritts.
As a side note, in addition to working with Usher, she has also been romantically linked to the performer. Other high-profile men she has been linked to include, Damian Aspinall, Robert De Niro, Sylvester Stallone, Eric Clapton, Joaquin Cortés, and Enrique Palacio.
naomi does filmNaomi has also made a name for herself in the world of film and television -- appearing in roughly 20 productions. Her credits include The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (1990), New York Undercover (1995), Miami Rhapsody (1995) opposite Antonio Banderas, Sarah Jessica Parker and Mia Farrow, Spike Lee's Girl 6 (1996) costarring Madonna and Theresa Randle, Invasion of Privacy (1996), Prisoner of Love (1999), and The Call (2005) with John Malkovich.
In 2006 and 2007 Naomi also appears in Karma, Confessions and Holi and Go Go Tales.
naomi the philanthropistNaomi coauthored the bestselling novel Swan, published by Heinemann/Mandarin, which she followed up with the photo book titled Naomi. The book is a personal selection of photos from photographers Herb Ritts, Steven Meisel, Richard Avedon, Ellen Von Unwerth, and Peter Lindbergh.
Proceeds from the sales of the book are donated to the Red Cross Somalia Relief Fund. Naomi is also active in many other initiatives supporting underprivileged children.
She has also joined the Dalai Lama in fundraising efforts to build kindergartens for poor communities worldwide, through UNESCO. The first was built in Campbell's name in her spiritual home of Jamaica.
Giving us guys something to cheer about, she reportedly engaged in a lesbian kiss with Kate Moss for a charity fashion show presented by Nelson Mandela in 2001. Now, there's a cause we can get behind.
In 2005, following Hurricane Katrina, Naomi contributed in the organization of Fashion Relief, which raised more than $1 million for the hurricane victims.

Contour Health Therapeutic Pillows
Oddly enough, these "therapeutic" pillows actually tend to hurt more than a normal pillow when you get whacked with one in a pillow fight. We don't know why they're called therapeutic if they hurt so mu-- oh, what's that? For SLEEPING? Okay, fine, that makes more sense. We can see how they'd be therapeutic in that case.

A Preliminary Study of How Plea Bargaining Decisions by Prosecution and Defense Attorneys Are Affected by Eyewitness Factors Author: Kathy Pezdek
This preliminary study assessed how defense attorneys' and prosecutors' appraisals of the strength of eyewitness evidence in a case influenced their plea bargaining decisions. The findings suggest that prosecutors are likely to be open to plea-bargaining when eyewitness testimony is central to their case. This occurs regardless of the circumstances associated with the eyewitness identification (cross-race versus same-race identification or familiarity versus unfamiliarity of eyewitness with the perpetrator). However, prosecutors have enough confidence in eyewitness testimony, regardless of the aforementioned factors, to remain firm on their first plea bargain offer. The study involved a sample of 93 defense attorneys and 46 prosecutors from matched counties in California. The attorneys were presented with four scenarios involving eyewitnesses that varied in the following factors: the perpetrator's race differed from the race of the eyewitness (cross-race), the race of the eyewitness was the same as that of the perpetrator, the eyewitness had prior contact with the perpetrator, and the eyewitness had no prior contact with the perpetrator. After reading each scenario, participants were asked five questions regarding their estimate of the probability that the defendant was guilty, the probability that they would win the case if it went to trial, whether they would plea bargain the case, and the lowest or highest plea bargain they would offer or accept. Defense attorneys perceived that the cross-race element of eyewitness evidence favored their client more than the same-race circumstance. Prosecutors were less likely to believe that cross-race identification would weaken their case compared with same-race identification evidence. When the perpetrator was familiar to the eyewitness, prosecutors indicated a higher probability of winning the case at trial. Defense attorneys were less confident of winning the case at trial if the perpetrator had previous contact or familiarity with the eyewitness.

Alternative Sentencing Policies for Drug Offenders: Evaluating the Effectiveness of Kansas Senate Bill 123, Final Report Authors: Don Stemen and Andres F. Rengifo
This report evaluates the effectiveness of Kansas's legislation allowing alternative sentencing policies for drug offenders. It also assessed the effectiveness of Kansas Senate Bill 123. The bill passed in 2003. It created mandatory community-based supervision and drug treatment for nonviolent offenders convicted of a first or second offense of simple drug possession. The assessment examined the bill's combined impact on diversion, recidivism rates and overall prison population rates. It also assessed the impact on the work routines of the state's criminal justice system professionals. The assessment examined the effectiveness of SB 123 over its first five years of implementation. It found that offenders had lower incarceration and revocation filings at 12 months than those sentenced to standard supervision. However, by 24 months the differences in recidivism measures had disappeared. It also found that SB 123 increased the long-term chances of incarceration and revocation filings compared to court services. SB 123 resulted in a slight decrease in drug possessors entering prison, thus reducing prison populations and reducing prison costs. Successes included the increased availability of treatment programs for drug offenders, improved supervision and referral practices and improved revocation practices. The law also produced better communication among criminal justice professionals at the state and local levels.

Classifying Adult Probationers by Forecasting Future Offending Authors: Geoffrey C. Barnes and Jordan M. Hyatt
This is a report on a demonstration project that developed a risk-prediction model for the Philadelphia Adult Probation and Parole Department (APPD). The project's risk-forecasting models increased the ability of APPD to predict recidivism, leading the agency to restructure its supervision protocols. The project led officials to set up three different prediction models based on a statistical process known as "random forest." One benefit of random forest modeling is that there is no theoretical limit on the number of predictors that can be included in the model. The most recent version of APPD's model produced an accurate forecast for 79,299 of the 119,935 probation case starts in the construction sample. These estimates suggest that this model can be correct nearly two-thirds of the time. The power and promise of the random forest forecasting methods is clear in Philadelphia. It has allowed the agency to stratify offenders by the risk they pose. Also, the agency can tailor supervision requirements and balance caseload sizes in the face of budgetary constraints.

Application of Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy to Forensic Science: Analysis of Paint Samples Authors: Michael E. Sigman, Erin M. McIntee, and Candice Bridge
This project used laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) to characterize the elemental composition of automotive paint samples. The goal was to discriminate between two samples at a known level of statistical significance. The study determined that LIBS had a discrimination power of 90 percent (10 percent Type II errors) at a verified 5-percent Type I error rate. Discrimination was found to be slightly lower (86.6 percent) among the white color group. Study results suggest that LIBS may provide an important screening tool in the analysis of automotive paint samples. However, careful attention should be given to sampling protocols and the statistical comparison of samples. When two samples cannot be distinguished, a more accurate comparison should be used. Discrimination was tested across all paint samples, regardless of paint color or other features. A total of 200 paint samples were examined by the different analytical methods.

Field Detection of Drugs and Explosives by SPME-IMS Authors: Jose Almirall, Patty Diaz-Guerra, Howard Holness, and Kenneth Furton
This project sought to develop and validate portable instrumentation for the rapid detection and identification of controlled substances and explosives in a large volume, such as a room or a container. The researchers have successfully described the volatile and semivolatile chemical compounds of several illegal drugs and chemical explosives to help in the design and application of canine detection training aids. Researchers also developed preconcentration and sampling devices based on Solid Phase Microextraction for the capture of small quantities of the volatile compounds for subsequent detection using an Ion Mobility Spectrometer (IMS) with an interface that was developed in-house. The sampling and concentration of volatile signatures from a variety of drugs—including cocaine, cannabis, and MDMA (ecstasy), along with explosives and smokeless powders (propellants)—was achieved. The existing large installed base of 15,000 IMS instruments makes this technology viable as a crime-scene detection tool. The already proven use of detection canine teams also makes the approach a viable alternative to other instrumental detectors. It is also now possible to use miniaturized IMS instruments in the field or at the crime scene. The product from the completed research will advance the detection of drugs and explosives by both instrumental and canine methods of detection.

Improve the NIBIN System by Providing Examiners a Capability to Match Infrared Images of Firing Pin Impressions and Deformed Bullets as Well as Accurate Large Database Searches Author: Francine Prokoski
This project focused on ways to improve the National Integrated Ballistic Information Network (NIBIN) by providing examiners with advanced capabilities. Three improvements are recommended. First, NIBIN should be able to identify cartridge casings by using infrared (IR) images of firing pin impressions (FPI). Second, NIBIN should be able to identify bullets by using IR images of land impressions. Third, NIBIN should be able to perform an accurate high-speed search of a large database to identify fired cartridge casings. The project was divided into three separate but inter-related efforts. First, it determined the persistence of FPI by collecting 1,000 cartridge cases fired in each of eight different firearms. Second, it conducted a proof-of-principle test using IR to get accurate matches of fired bullets bearing minimal damage collected from sample firearms. Third, it created a large database of cartridge cases that contains multiple fired cartridge cases from an unknown number of firearms. The ability to image, store, and accurately identify sibling cartridge cases from a large database of infrared images was clearly demonstrated.

Recovery and Interpretation of Burned Human Remains Authors: Steven A. Symes, Dennis C. Dirkmaat, Stephen Ousley, Erin Chapman, and Luis Cabo
This study addressed the multiple forensic issues associated with the recovery and interpretation of burned human remains. It linked rigorous scene recovery and documentation methods with laboratory analyses of heat-altered human remains from fatal fire scenes. The protocols developed from this research showed that a fatal fire scene could be completely excavated in a few days. This can be done with comprehensive documentation, high evidence detection and recovery rates, and minimal evidence change. The research results show that a complex fire scene can be processed and documented in 2-3 days. The evidence recovery exercises showed that evidence could still be detected, identified and analyzed after aggressive fire-suppression efforts. Further, the study showed that regular, clear, normal patterns of heat alteration of the human body can be identified and successfully used to detect suspicious cases.

The Impact of Shift Length in Policing on Performance, Health, Quality of Life, Sleep, Fatigue, and Extra-Duty Employment Authors: Karen L. Amendola, David Weisburd, Edwin E. Hamilton, Greg Jones, Meghan Slipka, Anneke Heitmann, Jon Shane, Christopher Ortiz, and Eliab Tarkghen
This report presents data on the prevalence of a compressed workweek for law enforcement officers, which extends the hours for a shift and reduces the number of workdays per week. It is the first known comprehensive randomized experiment to determine the effects of shift length on officers' work performance, safety, health, quality of life, sleep, fatigue, off-duty employment and overtime use. The research involved law enforcement agencies in Detroit, Mich., and Arlington, Texas. The findings showed no significant differences between three shift lengths regarding work performance, health, safety and family conflict. However, officers working 10-hour shifts averaged significantly longer sleep periods and reported a better quality of work life than did the officers working 8-hour shifts. Officers working 12-hour shifts experienced more sleepiness (subjective measure of fatigue) and lower levels of alertness at work than those assigned to 8-hour shifts. Officers who worked 10-hour shifts spent less time in off-duty employment and worked less overtime. This can result in cost savings and potentially more family and leisure time for officers working on a 10-hour shift. A 10-hour shift may be a viable alternative to the traditional 8-hour shift in larger agencies; however, caution is advised in adopting 12-hour shifts. Reduced levels of overtime use for officers working 10-hour and 12-hour shifts suggest that agencies will save costs by adopting compressed work weeks. Work performance was measured using both laboratory simulations and departmental data. Health, quality of life, sleep, sleepiness, off-duty employment and overtime hours were measured by self-reports, including surveys, sleep diaries and alertness logs.

Shifts, Extended Work Hours, and Fatigue: An Assessment of Health and Personal Risks for Police Officers Author: John M. Violanti
This study examined police officers' involvement in shift work and its impact on adverse health and psychological results. The study found that officers working midnight shifts were, on average, younger. They had a slightly higher mean number of metabolic syndrome components (a cardiovascular risk syndrome). The findings suggest that shorter sleep duration and more overtime, combined with midnight shift work, may be important contributors to the metabolic syndrome. Night shift work was significantly and independently associated with snoring and associated apnea, which are linked to poor sleep quality. Officers on the night shift who had sleep problems were at higher risk for obesity. Among officers with higher posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, the prevalence ratio of suicide ideation increased by 13 percent with every 10-unit increase in the percentage of hours worked on afternoon shift. The prevalence of suicide ideation significantly increased among policewomen with higher depressive symptoms and increasing day shift hours, as well as among policemen with higher PTSD symptoms with increasing afternoon shift hours. From a preliminary analysis, nearly twice as many day-shift workers (6.6 percent) died during the follow-up period compared with either afternoon (3.3 percent) or night-shift workers (3.4 percent). However, because day-shift workers were 9-10 years older on average than afternoon or night shift workers, possibly older age was responsible for their increased mortality. There were increased risks for cancer and cardiovascular disease across all shifts compared to the general population.

The Power of Developmental Assets in Building Behavioral Adjustment Among Youth Exposed to Community Violence: A Multidisciplinary Longitudinal Study of Resilience Authors: Sonia Jain and Alison K. Cohen
This research study examined the behavioral functioning of youth exposed to community violence. It focused on how developmental assets may promote resilience into adulthood among urban youth exposed to community violence. Researchers and practitioners have repeatedly noted great variation in the behavioral functioning of youth exposed to community violence. Several studies across various fields have documented the harmful effects of exposure to violence, while other studies have considered how developmental assets promote positive youth development. Yet, few studies focus on resilient youth. And few studies have examined how developmental assets may shape resilient trajectories into adulthood for youth exposed to violence. The authors examined multilevel longitudinal data from 1,114 youth ages 11-16 from the Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods. The researchers considered whether baseline family, peer and neighborhood-level protective factors predicted behavioral adjustment 3-7 years later among youth. Behavioral adjustment varied across waves and by exposure to violence. In the short term, being a victim was associated with increased aggression and delinquency. In the long term, though, both victims and witnesses to violence had higher chances of behavioral adjustment. Family, friend and neighborhood support, family boundaries and collective efficacy had protective effects. Also, family support, positive peers and meaningful opportunities changed the effect of exposure to violence, increasing the chances of behavioral adjustment. Programs that help nurture these specific supports and opportunities can promote positive behavioral trajectories and resilience.

THE THREAD TITLE SHOULD SAY Into battle with the anglegrinder (Metal ROTJ) NOT anything about HELMETS...
So I finaly started my Esb suit. Im working in 0.8 mm (dunno what that is in inches) and 2 mm gauge steel plates. Will post pics as it progresses.
Currently finished with 1 chestplate since i managed to ruin the other one with the anglegrinder, the collar, gutplate and the shoulder pieces.
I managed to fit this into a school project, so I also get some school fundings for buying steel/clay/and whatnot I will require
Phew, lots of text for a non-englishspeaker, so on with a few pictures:
The picture that inspired the threadtitle :lol
As you van se, i bend the edges all thre way around to create a smooth edge around the whole plate.
First go, now one of these are finished, the other one in the trash
Just a quick question about the helmet dimensions of the helmet made by Bobamaker. :fettrotj
ps: oh yes, and hello everyone, longtime lurker finaly decided to post something. Im norwegian so sorry if there are some gramatical errors. :thumbsup

Equal Opportunities Policy
Arsenal Football Club is committed to confront and eliminate discrimination, whether by reason of race, colour, nationality, religion or belief, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, age, ethnic and national origin, disability or gender reassignment.
Arsenal Football Club is an equal opportunities employer. We aim to act in a manner which ensures that our staff are able to achieve their full potential. We also aim to ensure that all employment decisions are taken without reference to irrelevant or discriminatory criteria.
Equality of opportunity means that in none of its activities will the Club discriminate against, or in any way treat less favourably, any person on grounds of race, colour, nationality, religion or belief, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, age, ethnic and national origin, disability or gender reassignment. This policy will be applicable to:
- the advertisement of jobs
- the selection of candidates for employment or promotion
- job location or working environment
- pay and employment terms and conditions
- internal training and development activities
- internal and external coaching and education activities and awards
- football development activities
The Club will not tolerate sexual or racially based harassment, or other discriminatory behaviour, whether physical or verbal. The Chief Executive Officer will ensure that such behaviour is met with appropriate disciplinary action whenever it occurs.
The Club supports the bodies of the Football Association and UEFA in their commitment to develop a programme of ongoing training and awareness raising events and activities in order to promote the eradication of discrimination within football.
At Emirates Stadium
At Arsenal we employ in excess of 700 stewards on a matchday and one of their primary roles is to monitor supporters language. Any so called supporter who persists in using racist language, which constitutes a criminal offence, faces being ejected and banned from the stadium. Every match day programme carries a warning about foul language and racist chanting and, if the situation dictates, we make extra announcements over our tannoy system as well as including extra reminders and warnings in our club publications.
Please see below the equality / diversity related terms and conditions applicable to ticket holders for Arsenal home and away matches.
The UEFA 10-Point Plan
UEFA have a 10 point plan that they want all European clubs to adopt in an attempt to eradicate racism in football. We are totally supportive of this plan and we believe that at Arsenal we already adhere to its principles through our current practices.
- Issue a statement saying the club will not tolerate racism, spelling out the action it will take against those engaged in racist chanting. The statement should be printed in all match programmes and displayed permanently and prominently around the ground.
- Make public address announcements condemning racist chanting at matches.
- Make it a condition for season-ticket holders that they do not take part in racist abuse.
- Take action to prevent the sale of racist literature inside and around the ground.
- Take disciplinary action against players who engage in racial abuse.
- Contact other clubs to make sure they understand the club's policy on racism.
- Encourage a common strategy between stewards and police for dealing with racist abuse.
- Remove all racist graffiti from the ground as a matter of urgency.
- Adopt an equal opportunities' policy in relation to employment and service provision.
- Work with all other groups and agencies, such as the players union, supporters, schools, voluntary organisations, youth clubs, sponsors, local authorities, local businesses and police, to develop pro-active programmes and make progress to raise awareness of campaigning to eliminate racial abuse and discrimination.

why no sig 229/40? a lot of being utilized. design, engineering, ergonomics & choice.
Glock 22
Smith and Wesson M&P 40.....The two best...
I don't have any striker fired pistols but reviews on the Walther PPQ lay it out as one of the top pistols out there, the trigger being the best. if i were buying a new handgun i'd definately check that one out.
I would like to have a Glock 23 for personal carry.
The Glock 22 Gen 4 is one I own and have had no problems with. It has a Fulcrum Trigger in it which makes it very shootable. Yes on the last stage I forgot to load it. Senior moment. :anim_lol:
Hosemasters USPSA Christamas Eve Shoot - YouTube
I bought a Glock 27. No misfires, no failure to feed, no ejection problems. It has been 100% perfect so far. I would expect the same from the bigger brothers.
G22RTF. Why, because it is what I have. :mrgreen:
A question that hits close to home,about to buy a ccw and am torn between an xdm 40 and a glock 27
....try to find a range that rents them and see which you feel fits you best, hopefully you will never need it but S&W has the best warranty of the two choices you give....lifetime 100%, they pay shipping both ways and customer service is excellent.
If I had to choose a .40 it would be a Glock. I'm most familiar with the platform and have yet to have one fail me.
M&P because they are accurate in my hands and I like the versatility they offer! Same reason the last poster picked Glock just a different platform for me.
The Glock lets you swap out calibers. So you can have the .40 for protection and you can practice with the wiennie 9mm to save money.
(I should probably apologize to all those 9mm shooters that I've insulted, but I don't think I will. Real men shoot .40s and .45s and .357s and bigger.)
Glock 22. I'm a huge glock fan, the first handgun I shot was a glock 22 gen 3.
Smith M&P, Why you ask? Because I've had both the G22 and 23 and the M&P is more accurate for me and I like the ergonomics better than Glock, I also had an XD in 40, and I like the M&P better than it too.
Having spent the last month shopping I came down on the side of the XDm.
I like the way the M&P fit in my hand very much, but haven't heard much about it and teh very smooth grip may have felt great but having had guns with smooth-ish grips I'm not a fan of them - repeated fast firing or sweaty hands and the gun starts moving around too much.
The glock is great from all the reviews but the grip was very square in my hand and a but uncomfortable. The XD has a "pineapple grenade" grip and it's adjustable and the ergonomics is like a 1911, a gun I feel comfortable with.
I also like the safety, or lack of one perhaps, on the XDm - it has the grip safety like a 1911 and the trigger one like a glock so it's grab and fire but also safe in the holster.
I was looking mostly for a competition gun so went with 9mm as it's a bit cheaper to shoot, and went with the comp 5.25 model for the same reason. The 40 is the same gun, the 45 has a different frame (and a manual safety too)
glock or smith
Now this is just my opinion but I having owned all 3 I will put my 2 cents in. First off I am a big fan of the M&P especially over the other 2. Of course I liked the XD better than the Glock.
- M&P looks better than the xd or glock
- I like the feel of the m&p grip compared to the xd or glock
- I like the way the trigger looks and feels on the M&P. On the glock and xd it always had a weird feel with the safety like they were. Not the same with the M&P
- I am definitely more accurate with the M&P than the other 2.
- The M&P doesnt seem to be as wide as the xd or glocks which has a bit more blocky look on the slide.
- Glock grip seems to be too bulky to hold comfortably (in my opinion)
- When I shot my glock it seemed as if I had to adjust how I aimed to get decent accuracy with it (hard to explain)
- on the xd I didnt like the grip safety. For someone not use to it I could tell it was there though everyone says you can't. And if you arent careful and dont press it in all the way it won't shoot. My wife had a big problem with that.
- I felt as though I had a more secure hold on the M&P. Especially if for some reason my hand (from sweat, rain, whatever) or if the grip was wet as compared to the others.
- While neither of the 3 were hard i am able to break the M&P down faster (field strip and completely) than the other 2.
- S&W's warranty is better (hopefully you won't need a warranty in any of the 3)
- lately it seems I am hearing more and more about Glocks running into problems. A gun that works at the local gun shop had a couple of FTF and a stove pipe on one straight out of the box with some Federal Premiums
Like I said this is some of the reasons why I chose S&W. BTW I started out with a glock, sold it and bought a xd. After feeling the m&p I sold the xd and went with the M&P and never have been happier. Heck it is the best shooting handgun i have shot to date. Only one that remotely could keep up was my Ruger P94.
Ultimately it is up to you. If you have any questions let me know. I hope you are happy with which ever you get.

New pup!
hey people.. finally Kaiser's home! so he's been ok today.. mostly just sleeping & play biting since I picked him up at the airport but I've been discouraging that (not the sleeping).. He had his dinner properly & just keeps lazing around the house.. Haven't got him a crate yet.. made a make shift bed but he likes to sleep on the floor! Guess he's just tired from the trip.. he's pooped once after he came back (in my room btw)! and peed like 4 times in 4 different places
I tried to take him out to poop after an hour of eating dinner but all he does is just lies down like a lazy bum.. tried taking the cloth I wiped his pee with but still nothing.. Took him down again after an hour, same thing!

Canisius softball player Robin Kennery was named the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Player of the Week on Monday after the Golden Griffins went 4-2 at home in six MAAC contests April 18-21. This marks the first time this season Canisius' second baseman has been honored by the league.
Kennery hit .455 (10-for-22) with two doubles, a home run, four runs scored and seven RBIs in conference doubleheaders against Niagara, Manhattan and Saint Peter's at the Demske Sports Complex. She extended her hitting streak to a career-best 11 games with hits in all six games last week, highlighted by her 3-for-4 performance in the Griffs' 6-1 win over Manhattan April 20. In Canisius' win over Niagara April 18, she stole a career-high three bases, and she ended the week with a .455 on-base percentage and a .682 slugging percentage. Defensively, she recorded 13 putouts and eight defensive assists as the Blue and Gold moved to 6-4 in MAAC play in 2013.
Kennery leads Canisius with her .374 batting average and her 34 RBIs through the team's first 37 games. She is tied for the team lead with three homers this season and her seven doubles also ranks third on the roster. The Williamsville, N.Y., native has a .520 slugging percentage and she leads all of the team's regular infielders with her .986 fielding percentage.As a team, Canisius is 21-16 on the year and the Blue and Gold has won three straight after sweeping Saint Peter's at home April 21, on Senior Day. The Griffs are set to return to action Tuesday, April 23, when the team plays a non-league game at Buffalo. Game time at Nan Harvey Field is set for 4 p.m.

Dear Lucy
I am a foreign teacher of English in a language centre in Turkey. I am teaching the young learners and adult programmes. Because Turkish students are so particular about the translation of the English words to Turkish, I usually board them (both). Then I go through the pronunication with them without giving them phonemic alphabet. I will do the drilling with the whole class and then again with smaller groups.
What is your thought about this? Do you think I should write down the phonemic alphabet? I would think the students will be more confused.
