I thought you might find this interesting. This is a perzine I did about a demonic experience I had that led me to Christianity. True story. I used to be on the borderlines of agnostic and atheist, and I was raised Buddhist, but this experience led me to God. I know now that Jesus Christ is real, and He certainly answers our prayers. Demons are also real, and deliverance ministries (all over the world) work to exorcise them out of people who have them through the occult and other sins.
It's a very short zine, I hope it qualifies as one. You can read the PDF form here: The%20Incubus%20a%20testimony.pdf
We invite you to take part in the First International Exhibition "ZINESHOW" in Ukraine. Participation is free. Any technique. Any theme and format. No return. Deadline: 15/04/2013. Exhibition on the blog http://zineshow.blogspot.com All works will be exhibited also in the gallery "tymutopiyapres" http://tymutopiyapres.blogspot.com is not a commercial gallery. Welcomed but not "necessarily" summary of your zine or about you or your creative work (this is necessary for further elucidation of the project and possible documentation). Zines for the exhibition please send air mail: "Zineshow" A/C 9875, Sadivnycha 19/1, 79038, Lviv, Ukraine.

Munis: Beware The Ides (And Every Other Day) of March
Munis have survived the sequester so far without any real damage, but they might not be so lucky for the rest of this month. That's because the month of March has produced negative municipal bond returns in 18 of the past 22 years, according to Anthony Valeri of LPL Financial. Why? Valeri explains:
A small number of maturing bonds, which limits reinvestment, and selling ahead of April 15 tax deadline are the two primary drivers of municipal bond weakness. The two factors can adversely impact the supply-demand balance over the short term.
The market's been pretty flat in the first few days of this month. The iShares S&P National AMT-Free Municipal Bond fund (MUB), is down four cents so far Tuesday to $111.70. The biggest muni closed-end fund, the Nuveen Municipal Value fund (NUV), is down a penny to $10.46.
And as far as that sequester is concerned, Valeri points out that the $5.8 billion reduction in federal aid to the states comprises only 0.35% of total state spending:
Many segments of the municipal bond market, such as revenue bonds where debt repayment is dependent upon specific services or functions will not be impacted at all. Separately, the reduced spending, and scope for more state and local government job cuts, will be a negative for economic growth and may indirectly support municipal bond prices.

SC, that's awesome!
I'd like to say that I don't dislike Jillian, I just need to project my anger at someone so I can let it out. She just happens to be right in front of me. Sort of like how I threaten Mr. Spring with bodily harm any time we're doing exercise type activity, mainly it's because it makes him laugh when I'm all grumpy pants like that.
Those anterior raises with side lunge kill my arms by the last two on that second set, but I'm only using 2lb weights.
Being able to read along with everyone's progress and experience with it is really keeping me motivated and actually looking forward to doing it, which is really surprising to me.
Seriously guys, I am so sore. I can't bend over without saying 'oh my God, oh my God'
Yes, sitting on the toilet is painful.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using CurlTalk App
iroc, don't slap me, but once you get going, working out again will help the soreness work itself out faster.

Jesus teaches to love our enemy
You h ***e heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, Matthew 5.43,44
If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat;
if he is thirsty, give him water to drink.
In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head,
and the Lord will reward you. Proverbs 25.21-22
Love your neighbor as yourself. Matthew 22.39

Policy on Mandatory Health Insurance for International Students
Note: the health insurance fee is NOT automatically refunded if a student drops all classes from De Anza. It is the students' responsibility to contact the office coordinator in the ISP office before the end of the quarter the student stops attending De Anza College. Failing to do so, will result in the student be responsible to pay all health insurance fees.
All F-1 international students enrolled in Foothill and De Anza colleges are required to purchase and subscribe to the health insurance selected by the FHDA district. The policy provided through Ascension offers our F-1 students the best possible medical coverage at the best possible price. Its provisions allow students to choose from a large number of health care providers in our local communities using a Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) called Blue Cross: www.bluecrossca.com. This insurance is mandatory for all F-1 international students. Students will automatically be enrolled in this policy at the time of registration, and automatically billed along with every quarter's tuition and fees.
The policy provides excellent benefits, including a generous maximum of $250,000 per condition per year and 90% coverage for most physician and clinic/hospital services within network. The policy has no co-payment if you first seek medical help from the nurse in the College's Health Services office. If needed, you will be referred to see a doctor, and there will be no co-payment for the doctor visit. If you go directly to a doctor without first seeing the nurse at the Student's Health Services, there is a $50 co-payment that you will need to pay ($100 for emergency room). Policy specifics are included in a separate brochure. Health care in the U.S. is very expensive and complicated. We will provide you with an insurance brochure at the orientation program, so please read it carefully to know what illnesses are covered and what are not covered or"Exclusions" since this is a brief description.
When you register for classes, a $484.00 charge will be added to your bill each quarter, which will automatically enroll you in the insurance program. (see below) You will receive your insurance membership card shortly after the beginning of each quarter.
Important Points Regarding the Health Insurance Plan:
l. The benefits offered through the Blue Cross plan are very comprehensive. As with any insurance plan, however, there are some specific limits to the coverage that is provided. If you accrue a charge for a service that is either not covered or which is in excess of the allowable coverage, you will be responsible for paying those charges.
2. Do not assume that regardless of circumstances your treatment will be covered. Carefully review the "Exclusions and Limitations" section of the plan brochure so you know what is NOT covered or has limited coverage. To verify specific coverage, call Ascension at 1.800.537.1777. For plan information, please visit: www.4studenthealth.com
3. The plan has a co-payment of $50 per visit for all physicians' services not starting at the Student Health Services office. If the student who needs care goes first to Health Services, there is NO co-pay. The nurse will provide a referral to a doctor as needed.
4. Each $484 payment purchases insurance coverage for a 4-month period/cycle.
• August 15 through December 14 for Fall Quarter.
• December 15 through April 14 for Winter Quarter.
• April 15 through August 14 for Spring Quarter.
If you leave Foothill or De Anza before the end of the academic year, your insurance coverage ends on the last day of the last insurance quarter or cycle for which you paid. For example, if you leave at the end of Fall Quarter, coverage ends December 14; at the end of Winter Quarter, it ends on April 14; and at the end of Spring Quarter, it ends on August 14. You may purchase one additional month of transition insurance before or after any insurance period if you arrive in the U.S. before a cycle starts or if you are transferring to another school that begins after the end of a cycle. Information about this is available in the International Student Programs office.
5. Dependent/s are NOT automatically enrolled in De Anza's health insurance plan. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to complete an 'Enrollment Form for Dependents' to enroll your spouse/child in the health plan. This form is available in the International Student Programs office or by contacting Ascension at 1-800-537-1777. Dependent's coverage for spouse and children is strongly recommended so your family will have health care protection.
6. If you cease to be an F-l visa student, you may no longer purchase this health insurance. Students involved in Optional Practical Training are eligible for the FHDA plan but will not be automatically enrolled. In order to qualify, you must enroll for the insurance as you start OPT and remain enrolled through the entire OPT period. Dependent coverage is not available during OPT. In order to enroll, contact the International Student Office at De Anza College at 408.864.8889.
7. Foothill and De Anza Colleges do not grant waivers to international students who hold other insurance policies, whether U.S. or foreign. If you wish to retain another health insurance plan, it is your choice to continue with that insurance. However, you will still be required to purchase the health insurance selected by the FHDA district, which will automatically be charged as part of your tuition and fees payment during registration.
8. Dental and vision are not covered under this medical plan. If you would like more information on purchasing vision and/or dental insurance, check with De Anza Health Services office or directly with Renaissance Agencies, Inc. at 1-800-537-1777.
Click here for more details on the De Anza Health Insurance plan.
Health Insurance Waiver
While a FHDA health insurance is mandatory of all F-1 visa holders, we do offer a Waiver only to those students who meet all the requirements as described on the Health Insurance Waiver Form AND it must be submitted to the ISP office along with all of the supporting documents, no later that the 2nd Friday of each quarter (Winter, Spring, Fall) or the first Friday of the Summer quarter.

text: #millywaukaythoughts - For me, this game was AWESOME. I've said time and time again, the W/L record is meaningless this year. As long as there are turds in the talent pool, the Pistons are going absolutely NOwhere. I try and watch these damn games with blinders on. I tend to try and ignore all of the meaningless scrubs that should have been sent packing long ago and pay attention to the up-and-comers who might have a shot at playing a role when this whole thing gets on-track. - Andre freaking Drummond man!!! I'm VERY excited to watch this youngster for the forseeable future. The Pistons would have lost this one by 40 without him. He might have a lot of rookie flaws but a "bad motor" isn't one of 'em. Andre's 18 & 18 came due to a relentless effort. A someone else mentioned, imagine what he could do if he wasn't playing 1-on-5 on the defensive end. - I tried to ignore these four but it was hard to not LOL at the freaking slapstick comedy stylings of of Stuckey, Prince, Daye and JMax. ...I don't even want to talk about these clowns. - My first reaction when this one was over was: "Man, the solid defense that BK had been playing was completely gone in this one." After reflecting on it a bit I'll give him a pass. He was playing against Jennings and Ellis with absolutely no help from his fellow guard counterparts. Singler was bad. Stuckey and Bynum were aweful. I remember one play in the 3rd where Stuck went under a screen and Monta just calmly teed up a triple try. Knight came all the way across the width of the floor to contest the shot while Stuckey casually auditioned for a slot on next season's Dancing with the Stars displaying a sweet Bossanova number with Larry Sanders. ...uggghhhh! - Austin Daye is a timid little flower.

In the first meeting, the word "creepy" was only mentioned once in two hours. In the second meeting, the word "creepy" defined the conversation.
Just two weeks after Facebook launched a web-bending bevy of new social features at its April f8 conference, eight engineers and product managers from Thefind.com grouped around a long, pale wood table in an unadorned conference room in an office in a downtown Mountain View strip mall. The room smelled like cat food. Screenshots of a Facebook login page were projected onto a whiteboard.
Thefind, a popular and profitable shopping search engine that indexes 400 million products — more than any other company, including Google — wanted to tap into Facebook. In a big way.
The idea had been in the works at the company for months, but in April, Facebook debuted new tools intended to put itself at the heart of the internet — the "Like" button and instant personalization plug-ins — and Thefind was hungry to turn its users into repeat, signed-in users with personalized results.
The internal debate at TheFind over Facebook offers a glimpse into the complex issues facing start-ups and Fortune 500 companies across the globe coming to terms with the sudden explosion of social networking tools that expose the personal lives of hundreds of millions of people as never before. Because Facebook dominates this world so completely, its policies about how it handles customer data is front page news, and examined with a granularity rivaling the entrail-gazing of ancient priests seeking to divine the awful shape of things to come.
How companies like TheFind choose to engage with Facebook — or not — could literally make or break their businesses, or so most believe.
Ron Levi, the company's vice president for product and brand, led the April 27 meeting to get, in his words, a "consensus on features." With close-cropped hair and thick-rimmed black glasses, Levi led the meeting in a fashion not unlike a camp counselor — talkative, yet unconfrontational, steering rather than directing.
The idea was simple enough: Convince users to sign in with their Facebook logins, get permission to look deeply at their profiles and then figure out what stores and brands they liked. Then Thefind would use those insights to create personalized search results.
It wasn't a small undertaking. Thefind sees 17 million unique visitors a month.
"There are two camps," Levi told the group. "Make it as easy and automated as possible, even at the risk of misreading, or make it more explicit and make it harder to achieve personalization."
After Facebook's announcements, Thefind's public relations crew invited Wired.com to come watch the company grapple with how or whether to integrate with Facebook. Everything was on the record.
The real question at the first meeting wasn't whether to tap into Facebook, but how much could be pulled off in two weeks.
Dhiraj Pardasani, a youngish looking Indian sat at the far end of the table. He was there to speak for the backend — the engineers who index 500,000 online and local stores and serve up the search results.
While outwardly placid, Pardasani sat through the meeting with the nervous look of an IT guy constantly evaluating how much of a strain each proposal from around the table would put on his servers and coders. He was hesitant about how well his team could serve personalized results that weren't paltry.
Meanwhile, the head of user interface, James Baicoianu — who looks as if he's equally comfortable with a 60-lb pack on his back or a MacBook Pro in front of him — was headed out for a two-week, out-of-the-country vacation the day after the planned launch of the new features.
In short, it was a triage meeting, where features would be moving from "must have" to "would be nice if we have time" down to "for the next release."
Laurie Kahn, the director of products — an outdoorsy blond woman clad in fleece, projected the wireframes of the proposed login screen for Facebook users onto the wall.
Facebook now requires third-party sites to list each part of their profile the site wants access to. Thefind's list was long, from name, gender and date of birth to fan pages and even updates.
Thefind's problem seemed to be that the company wouldn't be able to offer enough personalization immediately to make the bargain seem worth it to users, given the engineers only had a few more weeks.
"We need some minimum personalization level to show them why to sign in," Levi said. "But if we ask for it all by default, it's a little creepy."
Across the table, Kahn blurted out, "It is creepy."
Everyone at the table laughed.
"It's going to be about whether they like Walmart or Etsy," Levi said. "It's not as creepy as it could be."
And with that, the C word disappeared.
The focus changed to what Baicoianu, whose vacation was imminent, could reasonably do before he left.
The meeting turned to how quickly the site could personalize when a user logs in through Facebook for the first time. The system would have to cross-check the data from Facebook against all 7,000 stores that Thefind indexes.
That meant that to fully personalize the site, the pages that the user likes had to be run against a list of 7,000 stores.
"How many friends and fans can a person have?" someone asked. The answer, quickly looked up online, was 5,000.
Checking 5,000 possible candidates against a list of 7,000 known stores couldn't happen instantly on login. That could be 35 million comparisons per user, which is a big number, no matter how well you optimize your algorithm.
The backend vice president looked freaked out as he contemplated the possible load on the servers. But Baicoianu reassured Pardasani that he had a solution that wouldn't tax the search-indexing team.
"When someone logs in, we will check against the top 200 stores," Baicoianu offered confidently. Then at a later time, another system running in the background would check the rest, beefing up the user's profile for the next time they visit.
Even better, Baicoianu added, is that the one-time Facebook login would grant permissions to get updates on a user in perpetuity. "In the future we would get notifications [when a user updates their page] and add it to their favorite or recently visited stores," Baicoianu said.
That ongoing notification and perpetual access would also help Thefind personalize more in the future as it adds even more Facebook pages for the 140,000 stores it indexes. For instance, at the time of the meeting, Thefind had the Facebook pages for 7,000 stores, but by the time this story was published, that number had risen to 10,000.
At the end of the meeting, Levi talked about why the site was trying to use Facebook's information, rather than just asking users to choose their favorite stores.
"Do you build your own graph or use the mother of all graphs?" Levi asked, mostly rhetorically.
The answer seems pretty obvious.
Yelp and Pandora know the answer. Despite the fact those sites have loyal users who already make connections on their sites, the two were the banner companies for a new Facebook program called "Instant Personalization."
When it debuted in April, the Facebook program automatically enrolled all opted Facebook users into a data-sharing agreement with those two companies. Show up at Yelp or Pandora now when you're already logged into Facebook (and for millions that's the first thing they do on the net), and the sites grab your Facebook data, showing you recommendations based on what your friends listen to or like to eat.
Levi wanted some of that power.
"We have lots of repeat visitors — close to half are. The goal is to turn repeat visitors into regular users. Right now, if a user returns, we don't know them any better."
With that, the more than two hours worth of non-stop meeting were over. Thefind's engineers hunkered down in their cubicles in a single big room that was eerily too quiet.
Social might be the order of business for Thefind, but standing on one side of the room, you couldn't see any employees, just a maze of grey cubicle walls and the barely perceptible sound of fingers on keyboards.
This reporter headed to the train station.
A little more than two weeks later, on May 15, Thefind pushed a new update to its users with the option to log in through Facebook.
But there was no mining of Facebook data. No combing through of the mother of all graphs. No instant personalized search results.
It wasn't a question of resources, however.
In two weeks, the media had turned on Facebook. "Creepy" was the new buzzword, paired with concerns over Facebook's privacy controls and default settings.
Moreover, Thefind had accidentally given full access to a reporter, who a week or so after the feature meeting, wrote a story entitled "Facebook Has Gone Rogue: It's Time for an Open Alternative."
Though that post went up on a Friday, the zeitgeist found it and propelled it around the net. It was "Liked" on Facebook more than 20,000 times. It was by far the widest read story on Wired.com for the month.
But that was hardly the only story. Researchers kept finding security holes in the new Facebook features. Famous bloggers quit. The mainstream media, including CNN, NPR and the Wall Street Journal went into a Facebook privacy feeding frenzy. Facebook hunkered down, avoiding most interview requests. A group of four college students who proposed an open alternative racked up more than $100,000 in small donations in just days.
Thefind took notice.
Just a few days after TheFind's feature release, this reporter met again, as originally planned, with Levi and Thefind's CEO Siva Kumar who were going to talk about what they'd learned from integrating the new features. Instead, our conversation was about why they didn't implement the new features.
This meeting came about a week before Mark Zuckerberg called the press in to Facebook's headquarters in Palo Alto to announce simpler privacy controls in an attempt to engineer its way out of the privacy debacle it found itself in.
Kumar, Thefind's CEO and co-founder, is a gentle, soft-spoken man with quizzical eyebrows and impressively parted black hair, who likes to laugh at his own jokes.
He started Thefind after taking a break from an earlier startup and noticing how much his wife had to search around to buy something. He's a serial entrepreneur. Thefind is his eighth startup company, five of which he sold, the other three are still going. It's an amazing track record.
Thefind was ventured backed, with money from Bain Capital Ventures, Lightspeed Venture Partners and Redpoint Ventures.
Kumar wasn't freaked out. He hadn't called his board. He just knew it wasn't time.
"We know this path has peril," Kumar said, sitting across from this reporter at the same table where just weeks ago his team was ramping up to bet big on Facebook. Levi sat next to him, mostly quiet.
Thefind was proving to be markedly different from Facebook. Facebook, a company filled with young coders mostly fresh out of college, has a "deploy first, fix mistakes later" ethos. That hasn't changed despite fiascos like the Beacon feature that automatically announced on users' pages when they rented a movie from Blockbuster or bought things from online sites like Overstock.com. That move bought the company waves of bad publicity and a lawsuit eventually settled for $10 million.
Facebook repeated the process with its newest social features this spring.
Some of Facebook's 1,200 employees sit in beanbag chairs to do their work. In one of the massive open rooms, two coders sit under a green patio umbrella, perhaps to shade their monitors from a skylight.
By contrast, Thefind's 40 employees talk and act like adults who've had other, similar jobs. There are no beanbag chairs.
"We shouldn't be using things that are likely to cause concern at least until they have been resolved," Kumar said. "At the end of last week we made the decision to hold back."
Kumar, who has his eye on an IPO, said Thefind was a very different company than an early-stage company that has only a few hundred thousand users.
"They can be wrong and it won't ripple through to millions of people," Kumar said. "In our case, we are seeing 20-plus million visits a month. The spillover effects are much larger."
The backlash was too much for Thefind.
Not to mention that the writer across the table from him played a role in creating it.
"Especially with your article — it was everywhere — then it started to snowball," Kumar said with a laugh. "It looks like something that Facebook should clear up. So we are going to take a more phased approach."
Last week, it looked like Facebook had satisfied many critics with changes to its privacy settings that were supposed to make it simpler for users to control the flow of information.
The words from Zuckerberg's mouth to the press were confident and reassuring.
"We have heard the feedback," Zuckerberg said at a press conference at its Palo Alto headquarters on May 24. "There needs to be a simpler way to control your information. In the coming weeks, we will add privacy controls that are much simpler to use."
But the new settings remained complicated enough that guides to them soon appeared across the net.
And Facebook's defaults, which more than half of its estimated 500 million users simply accept, didn't change. They still push people to be public and open, which Zuckerberg takes to be a categorical good and his mission in life.
Facebook's march to web domination continues — and the press' skepticism remains, despite the new, simpler, but hardly simplistic privacy dashboard.
In fact, the skepticism might now be written into the finger bones of the tech press, especially after Zuckerberg's disastrous, subsequent appearance at the D8 conference. There he sweated and stammered like a freshman college student at an summer internship interview, while facing predictable questions from veteran tech journalists Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher.
Many called it his "Nixon moment."
So it seems Facebook hasn't cleared up its data-sharing problem yet.
And if you want personalization on Thefind, it is up to you, not to the mother of all social graphs.
If you find a silk blouse at the Thefind that's on sale at Neiman Marcus and you want to share, you'll need to e-mail the link to your friends. There's no Facebook "Like" button.
And if you want to have a list of favorite stores on Thefind, you can do that, but you'll have to choose your favorites stores yourself, one by one. On Thefind's site, not Facebook's.
At least until Kumar and Thefind decide that Facebook has grown up a bit.
They'll have a chance to make that call soon. Thefind's next update is planned for the end of June.

The RBC Foundation has generously agreed to sponsor the NYO Canada's new Composer-in-Residence program to help foster some of the many young and exciting composers that Canada has to offer. With the assistance of groups like the RBC Foundation, NYO Canada is able to continue its mandate to support young Canadian musicians, and we are very thankful for the RBC's support of this new composer initiative through their Emerging Artists Program.
In year one, NYO Canada will perform an existing work by the Composer- in-Residence with the possibility of a commissioned work for chamber ensemble. The composer will reside in Waterloo, ON with NYO Canada for a portion of its annual training institute and work closely with faculty, conductors and the orchestra. Adequate rehearsal time, player access, advice from the faculty and conductors, and exposure to the music infrastructure provided. The Composer-in-Residence will have opportunities to work with chamber ensembles in various combinations and scale. The composer will work on the creation of a new orchestral work commissioned by NYO Canada to be performed the following year.
In year two, the composer will again reside with the orchestra while they learn and prepare the programs of repertoire that will include the new, commissioned work.

By Joe Brewin
Robin van Persie says Arsenal have loftier ambitions than a top-four finish - but he wants them put on ice for now.
The Dutchman has been a galvanising force for the Gunners this season and scored his 15th goal of the campaign to secure three more points against Everton last weekend.
Van Persie believes the Gunners should target top spot although he's acutely aware that there is a long way to go before the trophies are handed out.
"We should have higher expectations every week, but for now because we have only played 15 games in the league we are not even halfway," Van Persie told Arsenal Player.
"I don't think it's clever to be excited by fourth, fifth, sixth or whatever. This is not now, we still have to play many games.
"So many things can happen - you see that Spurs lost three points last week, Chelsea beat Man City. It's an open league and anything can happen. Lots of stuff will happen that is surprising so we have to make sure that we are on the good side and actually surprise people with our results.
"We had a tough start in the first couple of weeks, it wasn't an easy summer with Cesc and Samir [leaving]," he added.
"It was always hard because nobody really knew what the team would be for the season. We made a couple of late signings that we had to make, because we were losing a couple of world-class players.
"After that game against Manchester United, we did come back strong. Everybody had written us off to come back from something like that and weren't speaking positively about us.
"To bounce back from a period like that you can say that everybody earns some credit because we had to dig deep, trust me."
You can watch the full interview with Robin on Arsenal Player.

Elias Elhardt
Where were you born? I was born in Konstanz. A little city in Germany, near the boarder of Austria and Swizerland.
Where do you live now? Right now I live in Innsbruck, Austria. One of the best places to go snowboarding in Europe.
Home mountain? My home mountain is Seegrube, right above the city of Innsbruck. It's only five minutes by car from where I live and offers some really good terrain!
What is your perfect day? I guess, there's many ways to experience a really fulfilled day. Going snowboarding with friends during very good conditions are factors though, that make it very likely for me, to call it a perfect day at the end!
What do you enjoy outside of the mountains? Besides Snowboarding, I'm also into a number of other sports, like Surfing, Biking or Slacklining. Appart from that, I also really enjoy reading a good book, watching a good movie in the cinema or going to cultural events in the city.
Who did you grow up shredding with? When I first got into snowboarding, I was always on the run with my buddy Friedl. He already had a driving licence and with the car of his mother we drove in a Resort every weekend.
Most memorable experience in your snow career so far? Puh, that's tough, because there's been so many outstanding times. One of them was definitely when I first got back into snowboarding after I had to take a break for one year due to a bad lungs inflammation. We had tons of powder right infront of our house and I just shredded out home resort every day…
Goals for the coming winters? Keep on doing what I love most… Snowboarding!!

"Was able to have a secondary name added to this by the designers and adjusted spacing for me. It was beautiful! Perfect for our baptism celebration."
"I loved the pearl finish on the paper. The design is beautiful and classic. it conveyed the style of the event and our personal tastes."
"This invitation came out just as it looked online. We liked the simple, more traditional look of this invitation. The paper was also very sturdy. We chose to get the modified rectangular envelopes so we wouldn't have to pay extra postage for mailing square envelopes. I wasn't sure how that would look but, as mentioned on the website, the envelopes are designed to fit snugly. There is a stopping point in the envelope when you slide the card in so that it does not go all the way to the bottom of the envelope. You can see the edge of the card when you open the flap and easily pull it out of the envelope."
"This card is perfect! It was so simple to create because everything is done for you. The colors work beautifully together too!"
"I ordered this invitation for my son's baptism because I wanted something simple and elegant. This was perfect. The color is a great alternative to blue. The paper quality is excellent. I'm very happy with this purchase."

New here from Texas
I live in west Texas and am starting to do some restoration work. First time for a frame off resto is my 54 Bel Air.
Took about a week and half to strip down and start removing old paint and bondo. Found more rust and bondo than I thought it had. This one will go back as close to stock except 12v upgrade.
Working on obtaining 52 Chevy pick up. That one is not planned to be stock.
Just found this forum and hope to learn some things to make my projects more successful.
I have 4 other project cars out back so a rotisserie is part of the investment, both in ease and safety.
I have some serios rust problem at the rocker extension and just inside the rear doors at the bottom. Cannot find these pieces so I may have to hammer it out of sheet metal. ALso some serious rust issue in the lip inside trunk. Don't really know how I am going to deal with that part yet. Don't want to just bondo like I have seen others done.
54 has 235 six cylinder with std trans. I am considering looking for a period powerglide and installing it, but not sure. Also thought about adding power brakes but all the ones I found are too big to fit up, and considered a Heidt's front suspension but have not figured out how to do the steering box as the Heidts includes rack and pinion steering. I am not solid on these items as I am also considering rebuilding it to original. But updated steering and brakes would make it a better driver.
I thought I would sontinue strippping and get paint and body work done and decide on the other as I go. I know that is opposite from others advice I have seen here, but the frame and suspension look good, engine was supposedly rebuilt several years ago and barely driven (pulled valve cover and it looks clean). So I am confident that it is mechanically sound.
This is only my second paint and body project. I spent the winter and spring rebuilding a Dodge Ram from transmission, engine, and suspension and the summer on paint and body.
I am hoping to learn everything I can here, and possibly get some great ideas for future projects as well.
Seeing that you have a rotisserie your body will be fine if you need to get your running gear exactly the way you want it, (as long as you have the room). As far as rust issues, have you looked at getting a donor car? Rockers and patch panels aren't that difficult and it sounds like you do have some experience but a donor car would make it easier. Your looking at door, rockers and deck lid, a donor car may be cheaper and faster in the long run.
In conclusion, again, I would get the rolling chassis in order first. I don't want to sound rude but, carpenters when building a house don't put the roof up first. I hope you take that in the spirit that it was meant because it is friendly advice.
I wish you the best and if I can help in the future I'd be more than happy to. I have my ticket in both trades, mechanics and auto body and been in the trade for way to many decades and give you this recommendation from past experience.
Do you know of someone that has added power brakes to one of these? I wonder how much cut and fab would be required. I already cut out front floor bords due to rust and have panels trimmed and ready to weld in. (soda blasted interior and hit with primer to prevent further rust after cuttion gout. Have not welded in yet.)
Room is an issue...wife is OK with this stuff as long as she can still park her car in grage, so my trucks bothe sit outside now.
Here is the rocker extension issue (both sides):
And the area by trunk is this (not the deck lid itself):
May try to weld up the spot slowly and gring off. Not sure yet. Any ideas?
If I may say, I wouldn't start welding until I knew what I was welding to. In saying that, with the amount of rust you have, I would suggest sand blasting the floor, rockers and your trunk "gutters" (as from what I can see in your pictures). That way you may find more areas that require repair now, not after it's been painted. Ah.... Do you have a sentimental attachment to the car? To be totally honest, the car looks fairly rough, and just wondering if there isn't a body available at a respectable price that is perhaps more sound.
I'm doing a complete custom, frame off, job now and the brake system is all after market. The booster and master system will bolt to the firewall. That being said there are many kits available that would allow you to mount the system under the floor. It just depends on what you want to achieve.
If your interested I could get you a list of suppliers that would be able to get you the product that you are looking for.
I soda blasted floor and most of car. A lot of it was surface rust only. The wort places for the rust was front floor pans, around the trunk and the rocker piece that is curved.
The master cylinder is underneath on this model and they seem pretty pricey. Being between jobs right now, I decided to start on the labor intensive, lets part intensive parts.
A list of supplieres would be great! I appreciate it!
Probably be relocating to central Texas by end of the month. Hardest part other than moving my rolling stock will be finding a place with a shop already built.
I understand I'll compose a list for you and get it to you shortly. Should have it in the morning.

A crash reconstructionist from Kentucky State Police reports that a fatal collision Thursday night on Ky. 313 in Meade County began when a 2008 Pontiac failed to stop at an intersection.
The car's driver, 27-year-old Sarah S. Hottell of Brandenburg, died in the collision with a Meade County ambulance. Her 10-month-old child, who was restrained in a car seat, was transported to Kosair Children's Hospital for care, KSP reported.
According to KSP, witness statements and evidence at the scene indicated that Mrs. Hottell, who worked as a pharmacist at Rite Aid in Brandenburg, failed to stop at the stop sign and proceeded into the intersection at Ky. 313, which was extended into Meade County last year.
The ambulance, which was southbound, swerved but was unable to avoid the Pontiac, the police statement said. It struck the Pontiac in the driver's side front and the car ran into a ditch.
The ambulance, which was driven by 49-year-old Todd Flory of Vine Grove, left the road and overturned on the south side of the intersection ejecting both Flory and EMT Michael Wise, 48, of Payneville.
Wise and Flory were taken to University Hospital in Louisville with what were described by police as serious injuries. Both men were listed in fair condition Friday.
Also involved in the crash was a black Volkswagen driven by 47-year-old Maria P. Williams of Brandenburg, which was northbound on Ky 313 and approaching the intersection. Williams was treated and released at Hardin Memorial Hospital.
Trooper Terry Whittaker, the Post 4 reconstructionist, is continuing the investigation.

"So what if you can pass a budget out of your own chamber? That's no big deal. The trick is to be able to pass a budget out of Congress – a joint-budget resolution," said Robert Bixby, executive director of the fiscal watchdog organization, The Concord Coalition. "It's the best hope to get some kind of grand bargain." . . .
The Concord Coalition's Bixby summarized the proposal this way: "It may turn out to be fictional savings."

What is hormonal therapy?
Hormonal therapy is a treatment that corrects hormone levels by adjusting them up or down. Hormones are part of your endocrine system and act as chemical messengers in your body to control different bodily functions. For example, insulin is a hormone that helps regulate your metabolism and how your body uses food for energy.
Your doctor may prescribe hormonal therapy to increase hormone levels that are too low. Hormonal therapy can also block hormones or remove the source of hormones when their levels are too high.
Hormonal therapy is only one method used to treat many diseases and conditions. Discuss all of your treatments with your doctor to understand which options are right for you.
Types of hormonal therapy
The types of hormonal therapy include:
Hormone replacement involves adding hormones to the body when levels are too low. The hormone is a prescribed medication that can be delivered in the form of a pill or other substance, such as a gel or patch.
Hormone blocking is therapy designed to block or decrease the actions of hormones. This also involves taking medications.
Hormone source removal is the removal of the source of excessive hormone production with surgery or radiation. This may include removal of an entire gland, such as the thyroid. In this case, you will also need hormone replacement to provide a normal level of hormones in the body.

Prime Minister Maliki undoubtedly has learned from his colleague, George Bush, that nothing beats creating a plot or conspiracy in order to get rid of adversaries. Up to 25 Iraqi officials are reportedly being held on charges of planning a coup that would restore the Basthist party of Saddam Hussein to power. According to Patrick Cockburn reporting from Baghdad, those detained by a counter-terrorism unit that reports directly to Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki includes a general and a host of minor officials. The plotters allegedly had formed a group known as al-Awda, or the Return, to signify restoration of Baath power. Some of the members of the coup belong to the traffic police, undoubtedly a major source of military strength.
Maliki is attempting to consolidate power, particularly after he confronted forces of al-Sadr and forced them to back down. He may fear that many people would, in light of corruption and failure to even restore basic services such as electricity, turn to some military strongman and restore the glory that was Saddam. As American forces prepare to depart, Maliki wants to get rid of any group that might challenge his power.
Who knows, perhaps, five years from now, US forces will be invading Iraq to get rid of the strongman, Maliki.

The secet first draft of the nortorious Iraq dossier that helped take Britain to war against Iraq is expected to be released today. It is a victory for freedom of information campaigners. This early version, written by John Williams, the director of communications for the Foreign Office has long been the subject of controversy because ant-Iraq war advocates believe it will reveal the honst analysis of what was thinking of experts, not the final version that was presented to the public. Williams has been arguing for years for the release of the document.
Inquiries into the wording of the original document has been frustrated becaue officials continue insisting it became redundant by subsequent events. It is believed the original document makes no mention of "weapons of mass destruction" nor of any claim Saddam Hussein could launch missiles. The people of Great Britain and those of other nations have a right to know the thinking and distortion of key players such as Tony Blair and George Bush. Did they deliberately lie? Did they distort information? Did they send troops to their deaths on the basis of incorrect information?

What are the best snaps to get and where? I am planning a trip to home depot tomw and wanted to make sure I was getting the right thing. Do I need a speacial snap tool to attach them? or just a hammer? thanks in advance!
What are the best snaps to get and where? I am planning a trip to home depot tomw and wanted to make sure I was getting the right thing. Do I need a speacial snap tool to attach them? or just a hammer? thanks in advance!
I use the tandy snaps. Scuff the back of the armor, the back of the snap, and CA glue that thing down. Put a nice bead around the edge after you have it down. Using an accelerator spray helps. place them near the edge at the corners. I have never had any trouble with them staying on. Cruzer does it this way too.
You will need set tools to attach the other half to the vest.
If you want the best, you'll want:
At least four bags of these: http://www.tandyleatherfactory.com/p...number=1261-03
At least three bags of these: http://www.tandyleatherfactory.com/p...number=1263-03
One of these: http://www.tandyleatherfactory.com/p...number=8057-00
One of these: http://www.tandyleatherfactory.com/p...number=8058-00
One of these: http://www.tandyleatherfactory.com/p...number=8056-00
A regular steel hammer will work, but will eventually damage your leathercraft tools, so one of these is recommended: http://www.tandyleatherfactory.com/p...s.asp?dept=204
I use this one: http://www.tandyleatherfactory.com/p...umber=31822-00
If you have to go more economical, go to Wal-Mart or a well supplied fabric store and get similar stuff.
Last edited by Cruzer; Jun 27, 2008 at 2:03 AM.
wow. nice list
Thanks. You beat me to it! I figured that'd be the clearest way to explain what's the best to get.
But I forgot 1 bottle of Super T, Special T, and NCF Quick: http://www.caglue.com/products.html
WOW! Thanks guys. Cruzer, that was a great list there. Thanks so much for the help. I'll let you know how it goes.
I use these snaps for my TK and want to use them for my armor when it arrives.
What is CA glue? It might be available here in Holland, but with a different name.
I was thinking to use hot glue to attach the snaps on the armour. Will that work also?
CA is cyanoacrylate. something like that. It's basically superglue. In my opinion, I don't think hot glue would work.
yeah the hot glue will literally become gooey again in high enough heat and begin to shift on your armor. its a mess.
I just ordered all the stuff from that list from tandys minus the mallet just because of cost. I will probably just pad my hammer with some leather or something. Is there a tutorial for installing the 20/24 snaps made up anywhere? Cruzer?
Ummm...I've only posted a pic of how I layed out my snaps. I just recently assembled a pair of BM Jango armor and vest for a member here. What I found very helpful was taking my tailor's measuring tape (the flimsy kind that is about 3-4 feet long) that I bought at Walmart, using it as a guide to trace the outlines of the armor the width of the tape in from the edge. Then, where the lines intersected in each corner, I put a small black dot with the tip of a sharpie. Scratched up the backs of about 30 snaps that have the metal ring in them. Then began applying 2 drops of Super T glue to each dot, placing the line 20 snaps centered on the dots and shooting them with a quick spray of NCF Quick before moving on to the next one. Once I finished placing each snap, I went back with the Special T and encased the side of each snap with a small wall of glue. The Special T is perfect for this because it will not drip. Then shoot it with some NCF Quick and move on to the next snap.
Once you finish placing all of the snaps, I'd recommend marking a center line on the vest with a pencil, and beginning with the neck armor, begin positioning your armor where you'd like it. I usually put the vest on and look in a big mirror, with an up close printed pic of the real vest and armor right next to the mirror so I can reference it by glancing back and forth. Place the neck piece on your vest, get it where you want it, and outline the corners, top, etc. with the pencil. Then, take the armor and rub some Rn'B on the snaps, carefully reposition it back on your vest while looking in the mirror starting with the top and top corner lines you drew with the pencil. Once you get it in place, press down on your vest so the snaps make contact, and when you lift the armor, you should have small little circles where you need to place the other parts of the snaps.
Keep in mind that for all of the upper body armor, you will not use the concaved heads of the snaps because you're glueing the one piece to the armor. On the vest itself, you will use both sides.
Here are a few pics of how the vest turned out and the back of the armor, etc. Hope this helps.

thanks so much man. this will be really helpful. you da man!
Nice and very helpfull.
Wow! Nice job bro!
hey all, need some help with the snaps. I have the 20 and 24 snaps from tandy. which go on the back of the armor and which go on the vest? i'm confused cuz they all look the same! arg!
use the smaller snaps for the armor to vest connection. Female portion glued to armor, male portion attached to the vest. Use can use the bigger snaps for your backplate.
ok cool, so small snaps for everything pretty much and just use the big ones for the back. thanks man!
edit: spoke with Cruzer and he mentioned he used the smaller 20 snaps for everything but the shoulders, backplate, knees and boots which he used the 24's.
Now let us see if i can get this baby connected.
Last edited by runJEDIrun; Jul 7, 2008 at 9:26 PM.
this might be the dumbest question of the thread, but when installing the snaps on the flak vest, do I need to use the 20 line setter to punch holes in it or do I use the CA glue like the armor?
I'd use the hole punch.
but definitley make sure you are happy with the placement first
You'll need to punch small holes in the vest where the other parts of the snap will go. Did I forget to mention a punch? You might be able to find one at any local craft stores that sell leatherwork tools...or maybe even walmart and a grommet tool in the sewing section. Sorry!
If you hold off till tomorrow, I can post some step by step pics on a vest I need to do, doing just the collar armor to get you started...but I won't have time until tomorrow morning.
haha that's ok. you can't remember everything! I'll look around tomw. If I come up empty i will just order one from tandy or something. Thanks again!
I defiently want to see how you did this, I will wait until the AM!
I'd improvise, and use a nail or something, the hole doesn't need to be that big, just big enough for a post, but I'm impatient.
Seriously though he's right, you can make a hole with anything that'll get the job done. But I'm pretty sure you'll be able to find something in any decent sewing section. You could even use a small metal tube as long as it has somewhat sharp edges. You'll need to make a hole that the snap backing will push through.

I gave this product as a gift and they ended up sharing with me. I love the accompanying literature that gives you the background on each cigar. THis has helped me as we've smoked each new cigar. Not all the cigars are of my personal liking though. A risk you take with a sampler of course. Newsletter even provides you with a place to rate your cigars. Nice for future purchase records.
I only purchased the 3 month sampler this time. Next order I will select a different sampler for a gift. I love to share!

Hi im currently very new to linux and i am having a problem updating my madwifi driver to madwifi-0.9.4 on Backtrack 3. (USB Version)
i have followed all the steps on getting rid of the old drivers but while trying to run make && make install its displaying the following error.
i understand i have to add in a few more lines of instructions to make this work but i just don't know what.Code:/bin/sh: line 0: cd: /lib/modules/220.127.116.11/build: No such file or directory Makefile.inc:66: *** /lib/modules/188.8.131.52/build is missing, please set KERNELPATH. Stop.
