There is a drivabilty difference, hard cornering pulls around a lot cleaner with less understeer drag.
Taking off hard front tyre rotation is at a minimum compared to standard.
One thing, my kit didnt come with the cone washer so I initially left it off (pix show it is supplied)
I removed and fitted the old one. Hope that was right?

Provost Russell L. Moore announced CU-Boulder has resumed the administration, management and governance of a bachelor's degree in environmental design with the start of the 2012-13 academic year, and is beginning a visioning process for how to fully integrate environmental design into the wide array of related programs on the Boulder campus.
Offered since 1970 as part of the College of Environmental Design, in 1992 CU-Boulder's undergraduate environmental design degree became a part of the College of Architecture and Planning at CU Denver. Oversight of the environmental design degree was returned to the Boulder campus in July after recent comprehensive internal and external reviews recommended administratively separating the activities on the two campuses. Further, Moore said, recommendations included building on existing CU-Boulder strengths in environmental sciences and engineering to make the professional design education distinctive.
"Now that the environmental design program is wholly a CU-Boulder entity, we have the unique opportunity to develop a cutting-edge program that will capitalize on the existing strengths on our campus, notably those in the environmental sciences, sustainability, environmental policy and engineering," Moore said. "Following upon recommendations from a recent external review, the campus will start an open conversation this fall on how best to integrate environmental design into the campus in order to capitalize on the natural synergies that will exist between the current environmental design program and other programs on our campus."
The conversation will be led by a CU-Boulder committee constituted last year to assist in the administrative transition of environmental design to the Boulder campus and charged to be centrally involved in the visioning process of the program moving forward. Associate Professor Sharon Collinge, of ecology and evolutionary biology and environmental studies, will chair the core committee, which includes professors Kirk Ambrose, art and art history; Michael Brandemuehl, Paul Chinowsky and John Zhai of civil, environmental and architectural engineering; Susan Clarke, political science; Sam Fitch, environmental studies; and James White, geological sciences. The core committee will work closely with the director and faculty of the Program of Environmental Design and professionals in the field as the visioning process progresses.
JoAnn Silverstein, director of the Program in Environmental Design, is hosting an open house for students, alumni, environmental design professionals, faculty and staff on Friday, Sept. 28, from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. The open house, which will include an exhibit of student work, refreshments and remarks from Silverstein at 2 p.m., will be held in the Environmental Design Building, room 134.
"The environmental design faculty have created curriculum to address the new challenges facing design professionals -- greater sustainability of buildings and cities, global needs for housing, responsible resource management and adaptation to the impacts of climate change," Silverstein said. "Our vision for the environmental design degree is to provide innovative interdisciplinary education to prepare students for practice and advanced study in the design-based fields of architecture, landscape architecture and planning, with the knowledge that those professions are in the midst of significant change."
This fall nearly 800 environmental design students are enrolled in studios, lectures and seminars taught by 30 faculty with academic and professional expertise in adaptive buildings, urban design and landscapes that support society's domestic, civic, cultural and industrial/commercial activities, Silverstein said.
In the program, students are learning to apply state-of-the-art educational technology including computing tools, digital image databases, fabrication equipment and media for display and presentation of designs. The curriculum also draws from Boulder campus scholarship in the sciences, social sciences and technology fields in order to enable environmental design graduates to develop new standards and materials for "green" buildings, to anticipate the environmental, social and economic impacts of development, and to design for energy and water efficiency in buildings and communities.
Moore added that the university is continuing on a path to create graduate curriculum in environmental design.

I have around 7 acres of land, and about 2 acres has been recently been cleared to the soil level. I was wondering if anyone can offer advice as to what type of Well flowering groundcover plant which bees are attracted too.Also, what are some really good trees that bees love, which would be a boon for my hives? I've done some research and noticed Australian bottlebrush are bee friendly.Is there any tree that you have taken notice of which is a great producer of nectar and pollen? Especially all year round?I'm keen to get planting so as to offer soil erosion protection, so any advice re trees or shrubs is appreciated. I'm in central Queensland. Tropical climate.
Mackayboi, don't think that you can plant enough to feed your hive. It's only supplemental feeding.

Hiya, I hope one of you smart lot can help me out .
I have an image that I would really like printed as an A1 poster... however I am not sure if the image is large enough to do this without it looking a bit rubbish. The image is 1592*2462 pixels (thats 8.844*13.689 inches) with a pixel/inch of 180.
So whaddya think? I have no idea how to calculate this kind of thing... I don't know that those measurements I gave you are any use to you to figure this out... but I hope it is!

You really need a PPI of 300, minimum of 200, which makes the image smaller straightaway.
Therefore you'll need to use Photoshop or another software program like Genuine Fractals to interpolate the image up to the A1 dimensions, then see how it looks.

China's Secret Plot to
Dump the Dollar
�and Three Surprising Places You Should Put Your Money Right Now to Avoid the Carnage and Prosper.
If you think the economy is in bad shape now, wait until you see what�'s on the horizon., wait until you see what's on the horizon.

Isn't your peace of mind and financial security worth $79 a year? That's all it costs when you order your risk-free trial subscription to BIG GOLD today.
Dear Investor,
Typically, the G-20 Summit is about as interesting and exciting as watching grass grow. Perhaps that's why, hoping few were paying attention, two former communist adversaries selected a recent G-20 meeting to announce a plan that, unbeknownst to the rest of the world, had been secretly brewing for years.
And if you understand how this plan works, and the three ways to exploit it, you'll be among the few to turn crisis into profits.
It all started back in 2003. Deep behind the shadow of Chairman Mao's mural, communist insiders began worrying about the safety of their massive U.S. holdings, which at that time were around $403 billion (almost 25% of China's GDP).
With U.S. military spending topping $404 billion borrowed dollars, plus careless monetary policies coupled with a $3.9 trillion national debt, the Chinese forecast that the United States was on its way to destroying the dollar.
So the Chinese did what any sane investor would do. They devised a plan to protect their assets starting with...
One thousand TONNES of gold.
The first part of their plan unfolded recently when China shocked the world by revealing that they control over 33.89 million ounces of gold for monetary purposes. That�s an increase of 75% in Chinese gold holdings over the past six years!
By making its purchases through its State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE) instead of the People�s Bank of China (PBOC), China managed to accumulate more than 1,000 TONNES of gold... without anyone even raising an eyebrow.
And then came the shocking G-20 announcement: After months of behind-the-scenes maneuvering, the Chinese and Russians along with several of their crony nations, have proposed ...
Dumping the U.S. dollar as the world's reserve currency.
On the surface, the communists have politely positioned their proposal as simply a "practical" adjustment in currency. But it's much more than that. They're scared to death that the continued stupidity of the United States government could bankrupt them!
Consider these understated comments by Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao at a recent news conference: �We have lent a huge amount of money to the U.S. Of course we are concerned about the safety of our assets. To be honest, I am definitely a little worried.�
As the Wall Street Journal reported, China's call to replace the dollar as the world's standard, "reflects developing nations' growing unhappiness with the U.S. role in the world economy." It's really no wonder. We're in the midst of what could be a perfect storm of currency collapse and the likelihood of an inflationary spiral brought on by the mass printing of currency throughout the world.
The result is that we could soon see the dollar collapse to 20% or 30% of its current value.
That means in terms of buying power, your life savings could be worth a fraction of its current value. Unless you take action now, everything you've saved and worked hard for could be virtually wiped out... and your plans for a comfortable retirement a distant memory.
"But aren't we in a recovery?"
The Chinese aren't buying it, and neither should you.
The recent run-up of the stock market may have some drinkers of the government's "Kool-Aid" convinced that everything is fine and the recovery is well under way. But the recent surge in stocks won't last. In fact, a close look at the facts reveals that recent proclamations of progress are just more white-washing of the truth. For example:
Some banks have reported 4Q profits, but ...
192* banks have collapsed since the crisis began, including 140 in 2009 and 37 so far in 2010. Last year was the first time since 1992 that more than 100 failed. Many predict total failures will exceed 1,000. *As of 3/17/10
GDP was positive in the 4th quarter, technically signaling we�re out of the recession. But the truth is...
Income tax receipts are falling. Businesses are reluctant to hire. Quarterly profits are more from cutbacks and layoffs than from increased sales.
$3.5 trillion is sitting in money market accounts supposedly ready to be spent and invested. But ...
Americans just aren't buying. Personal bankruptcies were 27.9% higher than last year and 8.9% higher than last month. 36 million Americans, almost 1 in 8, receive food stamps, a record high for the country.
Job losses were fewer in January than December. Big deal...
January was the 25th straight month of job losses, with employers shedding another 20,000 jobs. And as The Associated Press reports, " the Great Recession has eliminated 8.4 million jobs. That�s the most of any recession since World War II as a proportion of total payrolls.�
Home prices in some parts of the country appear to be stabilizing. In reality...
The Wall Street Journal reports that foreclosures are still rising at a rate of 1 every 13 seconds. The average new home has been on the market for 12.9 months. It would take at least two years to absorb current vacancies.
The truth is, the U.S. economy is a house of "bailout" cards. No matter how neatly disguised by the government's smoke and mirrors, it's a house destined to collapse.
When it finally does come tumbling down to reality, the Chinese are not about to let their massive U.S. holdings � now more than $1.6 TRILLION � be taken down with it. They want to back their investments with something more reliable.
And so do you.
3 things you can do now to weather the coming financial storm.
My name is Jeff Clark. I've been with Casey Research for three years. But I've literally been building wealth with precious metals all my life.
You might say gold runs in my blood...
I was panning for gold by the age of ten on my family's western U.S. claims.
I've spent my adult life tracking the global market forces behind it.
And I've developed a global network of industry contacts that keep me way in front of the big trends in gold, silver, and other precious metals.
I use my unique background and experience to guide savvy investors to the safest, most profitable opportunities that others don't see. And I'm hoping to help you today.
It's clear we're on the front end of what could be the early tremors of the biggest financial earthquake in world history.
Even without China's plan, the dollar has already lost over 20% of its value in just the past 7 years. And if the rest of the world continues to lose faith in our economy, its value could sink like the Titanic.
But what, if anything, can you as a concerned investor do? How can you protect your nest egg from another free-fall... and even prosper instead?
The answer lies in a brand-new report published by the researchers at BIG GOLD called, 3 Things You Can Do Now to Survive the Chinese Gold Rush.
I'm going to tell you how to receive your own FREE copy of this invaluable report in a moment (or you can CLICK HERE NOW).
But first I want you to understand why the Chinese, Russians, and many other emerging nations are turning away from the dollar... and running to gold... in droves.
The dollar isn't worth a QUARTER of what it used to be.
"In the short term,
-- Doug Casey, November 2009
If, like most people, you feel like your dollar just doesn't go as far as it used to, there's a good reason. It doesn't even come close.
Take a look at the following chart. It graphically demonstrates on paper what you've been feeling in your wallet:
The dollar has been on a consistent, downward spiral, losing 80% of its value since coming off the gold standard in 1971.
But gold's purchasing power has remained rock-solid... and actually INCREASED 400%!
To put it simply, today's dollar is worth LESS than 1971's quarter.
You would have to give your children or grandchildren $1 today to buy the same amount of candy you could get for 18� back in 1971.
Or if you spent $1 back in 1971, you got 3 � times more candy than your kids would get for their $1 today.
You've no doubt noticed that the chart also explains why the Chinese... and shrewd investors worldwide... are investing in gold: While gold�s price has fluctuated, its purchasing power has endured.
In fact, unlike with the dollar, your children can actually buy about 4 times MORE candy today than you got with the same gold coin you had in 1971.
You may be thinking, "OK, but the Chinese have only been buying dollars for a few years, not since 1971. Why are they abandoning the dollar now?"
Since fall 2008 we've all witnessed how things can go from bad to worse in a hurry. And this could just be the tip of the iceberg. The dollar still has no place to go but DOWN because of massive debt and inflation.
We're being buried by our own debt.
If the United States were a company... we'd be out of business. If it were a family... we'd be living on the streets. If it were a species... we'd be on the verge of extinction.
But because we're the United States, we just keep on spending borrowed money and burying our head in the sand.
Here's the U.S. debt situation in a nutshell at the end of 2009:
|National debt
|$12.5 trillion (but �09 GDP is only $14.3 trillion)
|Government spending FY09
|$3.5 trillion (but tax revenue is only $2.1 trillion)
|Government bailouts
|$11 trillion (equals $35,600 per U.S. citizen)
China is moving forward
-- Wall Street Journal, Feb 2010
As massive as those raw debt, spending, and bailout figures may be, they are dwarfed by all the unfunded liabilities (those not covered by an asset of equal or greater value) that also must be accounted for:
|Medicare/Medicaid liability
|$36.4 trillion
|Social Security liability
|$15.1 trillion
|Total unfunded liabilities
|$51.5 trillion
All totaled, the U.S. government has liabilities adding up to around $78 TRILLION, yet brings in only about $2 trillion each year in revenue.
This is like owing $500,000 on your house and making $13,000 per year at your job! You could barely live... let alone ever get out of debt.
In fact, if we could reduce these obligations by $1 every single second, it would take 2,471,724 YEARS to pay it off.
The government really has only three choices to deal with these liabilities:
In fact, it's already begun. And that means you better be prepared for up to...
A 70% decline in the dollar.
No matter how the pundits try to spin it, the United States government is bankrupt. So to keep things afloat, they've started printing enormous amounts of money.
The following chart paints a clear but grim picture of the U.S. monetary situation:
It's impossible to miss the astronomical and unprecedented influx of currency that began flooding the market in fall 2008. Within just one and a half years, the U.S. monetary base was artificially inflated from $800 billion to $2.2 trillion. In other words ...
Out of thin air, the U.S. government created 2.75 dollars for every dollar that existed in the entire country just one and a half years previous.
This is not simply the largest currency expansion in history. It is a STAGGERING DEVALUATION of the dollar.
"When the dollar collapses,
-- Peter Schiff, President of Euro Pacific Capital, January 2010
Even freshmen economics students understand you simply cannot make such a drastic move without expecting consequences.
And in this case, as soon as banks begin lending again, every dollar bill in your pocket will buy you significantly less and less.
With trillions of dollars of their expanding economy at stake in U.S. dollars, the Chinese would be in for a setback that could push them back 100 years if the dollar tanks by even 50% or more. And they're not about to let that happen.
Capitalize on the Chinese gold rush of 2010.
The Chinese have the motive, means, and opportunity to buy all the gold they can get their hands on.
They have the motivation: Considering their massive holdings of dollars and the very real likelihood those dollars are going to lose much of their value, China is highly motivated to buy tangible assets like gold and other precious metals.
They have the means: China has $1.6 trillion of its massive reserves denominated in U.S. dollars that it is anxious to part with. $227 billion is a drop in the bucket compared to the amount of money China has available.
Now consider what could happen to the price of gold with the world's largest emerging economy 100% committed to backing it with gold.
If you act now, you can not only protect your nest egg from devaluation, but can be poised to capitalize on a surge in the price of gold unlike anything seen before.
Could $5,000 gold be too low?
There's much more than simple supply and demand at work when it comes to the likely future price of gold. The rapidly approaching devaluation of the U.S. dollar is another major force that could push the price of gold to record levels.
The U.S. dollar index, a six-currency gauge of the greenback�s value, recently showed that for every 1% drop in the dollar index, gold has risen 4.9%.
If that approximate percentage holds over time, and the dollar were simply to return to its March 2008 low of 71.30 this year � just a 4.6% drop from current levels � this would indicate a rise in gold of 22.5% and a price of about $1,478 an ounce.
But the long-term scenario is much more dramatic.
Commodities bull Jim Rogers told Business Week that he expects gold to �be over a couple of thousand dollars an ounce sometime in the next decade.�
Doug Casey has predicted a $5,000 gold price.
And when price inflation finally bludgeons the economy, or when citizens from across the globe begin their own run on gold, $5,000 gold could actually be too low.

As you'll see in your FREE Report, the key to cashing in on the coming crisis is taking these 3 critical steps now.
Step 1. Have plenty of cash on hand.

Step 2. Own stocks that are poised to skyrocket with a falling dollar.
As the dollar falls, it's not just gold and precious metals that increase in value... so do stocks of the companies that mine them.
For example, in the year or so since the stock market crash in October 2008 � when the Dow and S&P indices each collapsed by more than 40% � this sampling of precious metals stocks, all recommended for our portfolio, skyrocketed.
|Silvercorp +223%
|Yamana +128%
|Eldorado +196%
|Lihir Gold +89%
|Kinross +74%
|Agnico-Eagle +108%
|Randgold +132%
|Minefinders +102%
As you can see in the following chart, even considering 2009's market rebound, my gold and silver stock recommendations outperformed them by a wide margin. And that means more money in your pocket.
I've discovered two more stocks that appear perfectly positioned to explode with profits when the coming crisis gets fully under way.
You'll get complete details on both of these hot precious metal stocks in my latest report, 3 Things You Can Do Now to Survive the Chinese Gold Rush. It's yours ABSOLUTELY FREE for immediate access when you CLICK HERE NOW.
Step 3. Keep 1/3 of your investable assets in gold.
It has always made sense to own at least some gold because it is the ultimate safe haven: it's REAL money; and a gold coin taken anywhere in the world will always have value and can be readily exchanged for cash or goods.

I believe that using prevailing Dhamma we can achieve at least the 1sT step of the path within this life time.I wish that all Dhamma wheelers strive for this goal, if not for 2,3 or Final Goal.
May all be Happy.

Buy Nothing Day in Indonesia's capital city of Jakarta resulted in hundreds of people sharing, singing, and having a good time without spending a dime. The global even was initiated by the Canadian magazine, Adbusters, which wanted to sponsor a day in which people throughout the world just hung around having fun and sharing and loving without getting caught up in commercial activities of buying goods they really didn't need. At Sambas Park in Jakarta, there was free food, free clothes, free T-shirt printing, book readings, accupunture and even people who were ready to sing and dance. According to Ika Vantiani, "the spirit of Buy Nothing Day is sharing and charity."
The dream of Buy Nothing Day is admirable, unfortunately, the world has reached a point in its history in which we buy and buy and buy or the wheels of commerce would cease moving. Among the thousands who turned out to celebrate the event in Sambas Park, there were hundreds who simply wanted some free food and clothes. I thought the most interesting event of the day happened in America where a woman went to a mall and had a sign offering to listen to anyone who needed someone to listen to their story. Reports indicate she attracted quite a crowd.

The servo i have with the hyperdyne boards goes at a pretty slow speed. like maybe 4 seconds to go all the way down.
Printable View
The servo i have with the hyperdyne boards goes at a pretty slow speed. like maybe 4 seconds to go all the way down.
Ahh, the board controls that speed then. I wonder if something like the speed controller linked below (depending on voltage) could be added to the zip-zap circuit to adjust the speed. Three or four seconds sounds about perfect to me.
Servo Slow Down Module, 3.5 to 5.5V from Hobby Lobby
That sounds like it could work..but then, im an electrical idiot and needed these 2 helpful gentleman to help me to get this thing working...so what do i know LOL!
I finally got my servo mounted to the stalk with the hex set bolt we have been talking about and boy was that a pain in the *****. First of all, Bobamaker's stalk isn't as thick as others and I had to resolve to a 4-40 3/16 hex set screw. I started with drilling a very small hole and graduated bits until I was able to use my 4-40 Tap. I figured I would tell you about it in the event you hadn't fastened it to the aluminum servo shaft yet. Also, be sure you are working with new 9v batteries. My batteries were running low with all the button pushing to get the stalk adjusted and things started to act weird. I was getting really ticked off because the servo started working intermittently and I thought the board was faulty. Turns out the battery level will cause the receiver to get picky with sensing the transmission from the remote when the 9v's are running low.
Anyway, figured I would drop some info on you in the event you weren't that far along yet.
Thanks for the heads up man....sounds fun lol. I have a commando8 aluminum stalk, which is thicker than the BM stock one, so hopefully that will be ok. Eventually im going to put the GMH aluminum ears on the helmet (yes i know...molded in ears...a little mod action lol) so ill have to drill and tap again lol..but thats ok..this one will give me practice.
Yea i noticed that as well with the weak batteries, i guess ill always have fresh ones with me when i troop :)
haha..it shouldnt be too big a deal. Im just going to fill them from the inside with fiberglass resin and fiberglass and just level them out from the outside. Im pretty confident i can do it without even damaging the paint :) Worse case, ill need to touch up a little around the ear area.
That's a great idea! If I ever get brave enough I'll give it a go.
- - - Updated - - -
Ha! Got the pics working again! If you can get a better focused shot of the circuit board patterns, I can get a better idea for another suggestion. It's all about completing the connection away from the actual plunger switches. If you notice, in my pic of my remote in the gauntlet, I removed the buttons in order to not accidentally send a signal. Here are pics from my install plus a notated pic of your board.
Let me know if this helps!

Also, here's a vid of my servo working. Finally! lol
Fett Servo - YouTube
Awesome thanks Warp!
Cool vid! Hmm how come yours goes so fast? Mine takes about 3.5 seconds to go all the way down. Though i do like it going slower, was just curious if you did anything to make it go faster.
I got mine installed and working...im way to excited about it lol. I also have a MrGr8ness self contained light board in the rangefinder.
Just have to do the fob mod and im set! hopefully ill have time this weekend.
I also finally drilled and tapped a hole in the stalk to screw the rangefinder on so now it wont snap off every 3rd troop lol.
Heres mine..
Hi Darth,
My servo speed was set before I got it. I think its on the main board chip. When I first got the board from Jim at Hyperdyne, the servo was off by 6 degrees on the 90 degree rotation, so I emailed him and he sent me another chip to replace the one on the board. If you email him, perhaps he can answer some of your questions. I bought my servo, voice modulator, and RF light chip from him and the service has been fantastic. I would recommend contacting him through his webpage.
Love the stalk and your bucket! I may have to upgrade to an aluminum stalk in the near future!
- Warp
I like the rate you have on the rotation DV, but what RF blink circuit is that? It seems too fast to me. Is there a trimpot (small adjustment knob) on the circuit board for it?
I mocked up a circuit that had a blink rate more in line with what is on the supertrooper video, then took really poor video of it! LOL! I would need to shrink it way down and put it on a tilt switch, but the idea is sound.
- - - Updated - - -
Looking good warpcell!
I agree with Fettered. His rangefinder blink rate is closer to the one from the Supertrooper footage and it's around a half of a second for each LED.
Altough the RF servo is not an accurate part of the real helmet(s) and is more an optional eFX (very cool) feature, the team work in this thread is great and very helpful for those interested!
Thanks doug! i tried emailing him before through the site but i never got a reply. i think mine is slightly off by a couple of degrees as well, it doesnt go quite all the way down, but im ok with it for now.
The light board is a mrgr8ness one. I agree it blinks a bit too fast but theres nothing to adjust it. :(
yea Raf, i like accurate looking but i also like to go for realism with most of my suits. I always thought the servo was a cool touch. Once i get my DVH helmet painted i may do one as a screen accurate replica for display..down to the micro switch for the RF lights :)
I know this thread is a bit old, but useful for those of us that want to go that extra fett mile. I just bought a SK set and need some help with it, I know some electronic circuitry and not sure if my set works correctly. The hyperdyne set looks good and seems easier to install.

This page has the most current copy of the Wisconsin Masters LMSC Records. It is updated every time a new record is set at a Wisconsin LMSC-sanctioned or recognized USMS meet. The Wis Top Ten List is the list of the Wisconsin times submitted to USMS for Top Ten Consideration
|Wis Individual Records
|Wis Relay Records
|Printer-friendly Individual Records List
|Printer-friendly Relay Records List
Other Top Ten Resources:
USMS Top Ten Info (please read the Top Ten FAQ if you swim USA meets) Below is an excerpt from the FAQ.
Question: I swam in a sanctioned USA Swimming meet. How do I get my times submitted for Top Ten?
Answer: Report your times along with a hardcopy of the official results or a link to the results posted on the official meet website, plus a copy of a valid pool measurement form if not already on file with USMS by submitting them to your LMSC Top Ten person prior to the Submission Deadline for that course. Note: If the course had a bulkhead, there must have been a pool measurement taken after each session that you are submitting times for in order for your times to be considered if the meet is a USMS sanctioned or USMS recognized meet. Update 1/1/2013: International Masters Meets do not have to be measured using the USMS procedure. The measurement standards in-effect for the National Governing Body will be accepted by USMS. For USA meets, if the pool has been measured according to USA Standards, the pool meets USMS measurement rules even if the pool has a bulkhead. For pools not meeting USA standards for measurement process, the pool must then be measured by the USMS swimmer to be allowed. For a USMS Meet then all the USMS Measurement Rules apply. The USA measured pools list no longer is proof of a measured pool. Obtain the actual measurement documents from the USA facility to support the measurement.

It's phi, not pi. Phi is the golden mean (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_ratio) which is related to the Fibonacci sequence.

Re: Rainbow Math
hahaha! I love it! +1
How many times is my head going to explode as I browse subs tonite? I said no one should know pi to the thousands in another sub thread. Well, it follows no one should know phi to that extent, either.
I do tend to agree with the 'boxy' comment. It seems even more pronounced here with the green, than in that other sub in yellow. Not sure why. Size? Dunno.
I don't know if it would work, but I'd like to see this tied in negative on grass or kelly. Maybe use the shirt color plus halftones for the numbers, with a black under-layer in the shape of the overall nautilus design. Huh. Like I said, dunno if it would work but it looks good in my head.
paigeg wrote:Great Scott! Wow, I think my head just exploded. No One should see that many digits of Pi at one time, NO ONE. Can we see a closeup? I'd like to see the differentiation that brings that egg out.
(Actually, it's Phi, not Pi)
Here's the detail - I'm borrowing some disk space for this, so the image may crash out at some point.
This looks a lot like someone else's shirt concept.
Re: Numbirds
If only the boobies were blue - their feet, at least.
Interesting sub. I get it, I do. I get the fish and the action - shooting the bug. I even get the disjointedness of the water plants caused by the plane of the water surface. I don't get the green blob the bug is on. I know it's a leaf, but that's not what I see. The amorphous leaf combined with the 'schematic' outline drawing comes together to my eye like a duck wearing a green hooded slicker. I can't unsee it!
Re: Fractal Beauty
Woot can't pritn this as you have it. Please check the guidelines for shirt placement - there's a 16X20 centered area that you need to work with. Not saying I don't prefer this the way you have it - I do! But Woot will rejectionate it.
I really, really hope this wins. I want two!
DUDE, really!?! Your obviously a great artist, and you have won enough times to prove my point. But this is not the first time that you have "waited" to submit your design only to post a shirt that is incredibly similar to one that is already in the fog. Normally your designs are one of the first on the derby and they always make it to the fog. I know its a lot of money on the line but your obviously better than this. Let other artists have a chance. Lets see a great ORIGINAL DESIGN! Your originals are always ten times better anyways!!!
anemality wrote:On the bright side, I feel less like puking...
I didn't expect bugs to be made of math...
Too funny! And choke that down - this is nice! I'm no math geek either, hitting Google like there's no tomorrow, checking out all the references here. Take a Pepto and rest assured - this is on-theme, and really nicely done, to boot. I particularly like the way the halftones on the dragonfly's wings work against the shirt color.
Derbys like this a the Science one a while back - they make you think, no? Not ever a bad thing to learn something new.
paigeg wrote:I do tend to agree with the 'boxy' comment.
I had to back up and come back to this one, after some thought. I realize that, in this sub and the other I mentioned, it's likely the artist is also intending to represent the golden ration in the rectangle. But, IMHO, hard-edged rectangular designs - no matter how mathematically perfect - do not make for eye-pleasing tee designs. Hence my wish this was rendered in the nautilus shape, rather than a box.
Don't you just hate when folks reply to their own posts?

|Autocross Racing The place to discuss information about autocross stats, tips and events. Track sanctioned events only.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Im just going to uninstall my sway bars and go nuts with a welder under there, who needs independant suspension? not me!!
no but seriously though guys, you need to stop the back and forth pissing contest and enjoy the review
The SVT already has outstanding handling capabilities and can already outslalom a Porsche 911 and many others in stock trim.
"Please respect the car you drive"
This comment is about as stupid as stupid gets and you sir are a moron.
|Well, it's a good thing that the LCR's were revised from 03-04 SVTs. I'm running a 25mm rear Progress bar (that's made the car more tossable than stock form) and planned on upgrading to the H&R front swaybar. I may just replace the bushings before I decide to replace the entire bar.
Lifting the inside rear wheel is not necessarily a bad thing, but it is not necessarily something that you tune the car to do. Lifting the inside front wheel is something you see a fair bit on RWD cars--BMWs specifically come to mind. On a FWD car, however, it is not at all desirable--nor common.
On a Focus any rear bar bigger than about 25mm is a risk to breaking the rear LCAs, especially on cars with softer spring rates--say softer than H&R Race springs. The 28mm monsters have no place on any street driven Focus, IMO. There have been repoted LCA failures on cars with smaller bars too--just be aware, especially when using 24+mm rears.
Sway bars are intended to be 'the icing on the cake' of a suspension recipe--not the batter. Dampers, springs and then swaybars...for the final 'tune to taste'.
Small (SPI) front bars are appropriate for high spring rates...but the goal of a FSB on a FWD autocrosser is no keep the outside front tire from gaining negative camber--which is why you see so many stock class cars using bigger than OEW FSBs--even though it is 'supposed' to induce understeer, the BFSB actually kkeps the fronts from rolling over too much on the outside tire. This can also be achieved by raising the spring rate.
Small front bars on lower spring rates will reduce initial turn-in and most certainly reduce slalom speeds. It may be better for sweepers in some cases...butthe tradeoff is certainly there.
My opinion of a good basic ST setup is: Konis, LCR plates, H&R Race, 24mm rear, 21 or 22mm (Steet Edition Wagon) OE front...and poly busings. The next step would be GC coilovers with significantly higher rates and revalved Konis.
|honorsystem, read my post right above urs, any driving opinions are about these H&R bars, i drove on them for the greater part of 8 months with eibach pro-kits and kyb agx's i liked em, u are correct about the rear tire lifting, just not off the ground
Anyway, back to the OP's topic... I've been looking at these a bit, so if you do try them with some aftermarket dampers/springs, let me know, because I've got H&R race springs and KYB AGX dampers, but Im unsure of which bars to go with.
|bahahaha, the focus is a euro car to start with, and if anything its a compliment, with the crappy quality of american cars lately and how they are just thrown on the street with too many problems(the svt is a GREAT example of this) i completely agree with deeds on this one, and what he said was drives LIKE a german car, he did not say AS GOOD AS a german car, it was simply a comparison, and since i drove this car for the greater part of 2 years he was reffering to MY feedback meaning it was much like my buddies S4 in the fact that it was still a decent ride but the body itself felt stiffer, more responsive, and more controlled in aggressive and day to day driving situations, also, BADIDEA, as deeds stated, ur right to a point but after punishing the crap out of that car everywhere, twisties, highway, on/off ramps, tight corners, and even Auto-x on a crappy greasy parking lot, the inside wheelspin was definetly minimized with the suspension setup, if we had a 28 or 30mm bar i would totally agree with you, as for people using the spi bar, i could see that as a way to get rear tires light with front body roll for rotation, but on a road course you rarely slow down enough for the focus to be capable of wheelspin due to lack of power, this wheel spin also depends on driving style, smooth=no-minimal spin, using the throttle as a switch would induce this wheelspin on an auto-x course, and if u say i was not driving near the limit, ask deeds, or peregrine, for a 19y.o. i can drive pretty darn well with karting under my belt, not to mention countless freeway/ backroad runs, and the fact that with only about 2 months of daily driving our 94 mustang gt i beat my dad at my first auto-x and he drives pretty well also, i pushed that car to its limits and then some, the only area i experienced wheel spin with was auto-x in the rain. point of this whole rant being, drive a setup before you try to nit-pick it, and also decipher a statement before you make an assumption. im done now, can you say LOCK!!! and one more thing, yes search my posts, i crashed that car, but it was driver error, ill admit it, over reacted and smacked a wall, not everyone is safe from mistakes, not trying to be a jerk but honestly, someone was giving an opinion, not saying that this was the only correct or perfect way to setup a focus for aggressive driving
|On a seperate note and no offense to anybody, you should have bought a German car then. Hell ya, they cost 20 Gs more. Imagine what u could do 20 Gs on a Focus SVT. It will rip many German cars if tuned properly. Please respect the car you drive. You insulted Ford cars. Not appreciated.

Jo-Ann and Kath were looking for ways to help their son Brennan, who is diagnosed with ADHD and Slow Processing Disorder. They recognized that Brennan is talented, creative, and a natural leader, but his tendency to challenge authority and test limits created serious issues at school and at home.
The Bentley family was looking for answers to help 14-year-old Alex manage her anger differently. Her ADHD made it difficult for her to control her behavior when she got frustrated. Outbursts of anger led to slamming doors and disrespect, which left the family feeling disconnected and discouraged.
Carolyn Nash saw a big change in her son Theo after she and his father divorced. His disrespect led to outbursts of rage and even physical violence. Carolyn tried everything from grounding to counseling, but nothing seemed to work—until The Total Transformation.

Q: What is The Total Transformation® Program?
A: Total Transformation takes you step by step through understanding and managing your child's behavior and shows you exactly what you need to do to develop your child's problem solving skills—stopping bad behavior for good. The program works well for parents of children from 5 to 18 years of age who are exhibiting anger, underachievement, poor school performance, substance abuse, lashing out (physically or verbally, including abusive behavior), defiance and disrespect, but can be helpful for any child—even adult children. Total Transformation is designed to assist parents in dealing with negative behaviors (both typical and extreme) children and adolescents engage in.
Q: Does The Total Transformation® really work?
A: We think the families who've used our learning programs answer this best. In fact, thousands of parents, grandparents, teachers and professionals have shared their positive experiences—with each other, online, and in video testimonials—about the effectiveness of Total Transformation with their children and teens. Created by renowned child therapists James Lehman, MSW and Janet Lehman, MSW, the program is a life-changing tool in helping parents to quickly address unwanted child behaviors. Check out our constantly updated reviews where you can see our customers' authentic and unedited comments. Our goal is to help you get to what works with your child so you can form a better relationship, starting today.
Q: Can this program work for me if I'm divorced and my ex lets my child(ren) get away with everything at his/her house?
A: Yes. One of the primary goals of Total Transformation is to develop a "Culture of Accountability" between you and your child. You will be able to teach your child to be accountable for his behavior in your home, regardless of the standards of behavior and expectations in the other parent's home.
Q: Can I return my Empowering Parents product?
A: At Empowering Parents, we strive to help you get to what works. If you are not completely satisfied with your program, we offer a 60-day money back guarantee on all purchases. Simply call us within 60 days from the date you receive your delivery (Order date, plus 7 days) to return the program for a full refund of the purchase price paid (excluding shipping and handling charges, if any). We will provide all return instructions for your purchase. You may be responsible for any return shipping and handling costs.
Q: What happens after I purchase?
A: You will receive your program by mail in an unmarked package to protect your privacy.
Q: What does The Total Transformation® teach, and what types of behaviors are covered?
A: Total Transformation helps parents with specific techniques that enable them to deal with problems such as fighting and arguing, lying, temper tantrums, talking back, destroying property, picking on siblings, bullying, acting sullen and withdrawn, lack of motivation, risky behavior, and behavior problems in school and in the community. It's important to note that the skill-set honed in the program helps build stronger relationships with all children in the family, not only those who have attitude or behavior problems.
Q: Will The Total Transformation® work for all children?
A: Various factors impact whether the program is effective with a particular child—including the child's age and developmental level, the child's environment/background, and the parents' consistency in applying the program. Acknowledging that, every day we hear from parents, grandparents, teachers and other caregivers who have found success in using Total Transformation. These concerned parents come from all walks of life and from all over the globe. We encourage you to read their authentic and unedited reviews.
Q: My child's behaviors are not as extreme as James Lehman describes. Will this program work for me?
A: The program is designed for children ages 5 to 18 and is very effective for most child behavior problems, ranging from mild to severe. Any parent can benefit from the effective parenting strategies taught in Total Transformation.
Q: Is The Total Transformation® religious-based?
A: Total Transformation does not have any religious affiliation. Parents of all faiths (including those who don't practice any religion) have used the program successfully with their families while remaining true to their own core values. Our emphasis is on helping all families to change unwanted behaviors in their kids.
Using The Total Transformation® Program
Q: My child has a diagnosis (such as ADD/ADHD, ODD). Will it work for him/her?
A: Yes. Total Transformation can be helpful for children with these conditions, and was in fact born out of James and Janet Lehman's decades of experience working with defiant, oppositional youth. A good approach for many families is to use the program tools in conjunction with the support of a trusted, qualified, and local professional.
Q: Is there anyone who shouldn't use the program?
A: Children with autism, profound intellectual disabilities, and severe psychiatric disorders that result in an inability to communicate may not benefit from the techniques outlined in Total Transformation. However, their parents may benefit from the parenting concepts taught in the program.
Q: How long will it take to achieve a real change in my child's behavior?
A: Not long at all. In fact, you might see a change in your child's behavior almost immediately after you begin implementing the program. As they adopt more effective parenting roles, use behavior management techniques, and hone problem-solving skills, most families say they experience significant, lasting results as they work with the program.
Q: Can grandparents use The Total Transformation®?
A: Many, many grandparents use Total Transformation with great results. Some of these grandparents are raising their grandchildren, while others share the program with their grandchildren's parents. Total Transformation will help you develop a "Culture of Accountability" between you and your grandchild, and teach him or her to be accountable for his/her behavior in your home.
Q: Can The Total Transformation® be used by teachers, educational technicians and counselors?
A: Absolutely. Countless teachers, mental health professionals and caregivers use our program on a daily basis. Every adult who interacts with children in a meaningful way can benefit from the concepts and practical ideas presented in Total Transformation.
Q: Is The Total Transformation® the same as therapy?
A: Total Transformation is not therapy. Where therapy is usually child-centric, our program is parent-centric. Total Transformation addresses how a parent can change the behavior dynamic by learning effective parenting skills.
Q: Should I use The Total Transformation® instead of counseling and/or stop my child's therapy, counseling, medication, etc.?
A: Total Transformation is not intended to take the place of professional therapy, counseling or medical treatment. Parents of children who are currently under the supervision of a professional should not discontinue care without speaking to this professional. This program is not intended as a substitute for medication, and you should never discontinue a child's medication without consulting a qualified professional.
Q: What is the age range for which The Total Transformation® is designed to be used?
A: Total Transformation is a valuable resource for parents of children of any age, because it provides guidelines to help you develop the most effective and productive parenting style for any given situation. Although it is recommended for children ages 5 to 18, you may see immediate results with children of any age. By the time a "typical" child reaches the age of 5, all of the concepts in Total Transformation would apply to him or her. As your child grows, you'll see the added benefit of the advanced features of the program. Each child is different and only you can know for sure what is right for yours.
Q: Does The Total Transformation® work with children with medical diagnoses?
A: James and Janet Lehman designed Total Transformation as a powerful tool for parents—a tool that also supports behavior therapy goals at home. The best way to see if the program will be helpful in your specific situation is to try the program in your home, along with the support and guidance of your mental health and medical treatment professionals. Various factors may affect whether the techniques are effective with a particular child, including the child's age and developmental level, the child's setting/environment, and the parent's skill in applying the techniques.
Note: Total Transformation is not designed to deal with children who have severe psychological disorders or medical conditions that impair their communications or problem solving skills. Children who exhibit signs of dangerous behavior, either to themselves or others, should be placed under the care of a qualified professional. Total Transformation is not intended to take the place of professional therapy, counseling or medical treatment. Parents of children who are currently under the supervision of a professional should not discontinue such care without speaking to this professional. This program is not intended as a substitute for medication. You should never discontinue a child's medication without consulting a qualified professional.
Q: How can I get in touch with James Lehman?
A: Unfortunately, James Lehman passed away in May of 2010 after a long illness. His legacy lives on in The Total Transformation® family of products for parents, and on Empowering Parents, where you can still read his articles. His wife, child behavior therapist and co-creator of the program, Janet Lehman, MSW, continues James' work to teach the principles of The Total Transformation® Program to families, and in her popular articles on Empowering Parents.

It seems like I face some new, frustrating dilemma almost every day. For a while, I tried to solve each one on my own, but I just can't do it anymore. I'm in over my head, and I need your help, Wooters! So, each week, I'm going to post a problem that I'm facing and you're going to help me solve it. But here's the catch: the solutions need to be puns. That's right: logic is secondary; puns are the primary goal here. I'll choose the best pun and announce it in next week's post.
THIS WEEK'S EPISODE: Booze for Athletes!
Last night, while I was having a few adult beverages to ring in the new year, I got an idea for a business: a boozy sports drink company. Think about it: athletes are under a lot of stress; they deserve to have a drink and relax now and then. But they don't want to get dehydrated, because that could affect their performance on the court or field the next day. So they have on of my... umm... see, there's my problem. I need a name for my new beverage. Here are a few ideas came up with:
But those just aren't good enough. Maybe you guys can help. Post your boozy sports drink puns in the comments, and I'll choose my favorites next week!
Christmas's winner (Cat Carols): "Silv-hair Balls" from user bongosolo
Other Favorites: Props to Nparus for "The 12 Strays of Catmas", and to patrice2 and dianepierce33 who wrote their own carols!

Women of Conviction
On 19 July 2007 Shami Chakrabarti, the Director of Liberty, was
awarded an honorary doctorate by the University of Hull in
recognition of her outstanding contributions to equality and human
rights issues. To celebrate this event, Hull University Archives
has launched this small on-line exhibition, highlighting some of
the women represented in the archives.
Dr. Julian Stern, Dean of the Institute for Learning, described
in his citation our pride in the work of Liberty and its
distinguished Director. Liberty is part of our collective
conscience in relation to human rights and civil liberties, and its
archive is an important part of our collective memory. He went on
to argue that "each of us has a responsibility to defend human
rights when they are under attack, and to promote human rights all
of the time, whatever our rôles in life, as educators, business
leaders, philosophers, historians, lawyers - as human beings. ...
Each one of us can also contribute our expertise and our humanity,
whether in the law or education or business, or as members of the
public, to support human rights, and each of us can be supported,
in turn, by Liberty and by its Director, Shami Chakrabarti."
This exhibition reflects these two themes: of individuals making
a difference, either working on their own or as leaders of large
organisations; and of the importance of recording the work and
achievements of these individuals and organisations as part of our
collective memory. These two themes are joined in the work of
Professor John Saville, during the 1960s and 1970s, in acquiring
and seeking to preserve the archives of pressure groups and
campaigning organisations. His work and the nationally-renowned
collection of archives which has been built up as a result of his
work are described in the Introduction to Pressure Group archives at the
University of Hull.
An introduction to the 'women of conviction' we have chosen to highlight
in this exhibition then takes you on to separate pages describing
the lives and contributions of each.

The winery uses traditional French cellar practices, such as small-lot fermentation, gentle handling and French oak barrels, to enhance the fruit. To allow the best expression of each lot, the winemaker tailors the yeast strains, barrel selection and fermentation practices to complement the many different dimensions of the fruit. The winery is known for its unique Merlot, which displays the traditional elegant, classic flavors of Bordeaux Merlot, yet has the suppleness of Pinot Noir. View all Canoe Ridge Wines
About Columbia ValleyView a map of Columbia Valley wineries
Columbia Valley is the largest of Washington State's wine growing regions, with almost 11 million acres. It encompasses a number of smaller regions, including Yakima Valley, Walla Walla Valley, Red Mountain and more. The vast area consists of a range of climates, allowing viticulturists to plant a diverse selection of grape varieties. Most wineries plant rows sparsely, which helps the vines survive the harsh winters.
Notable FactsMerlot is the most popular and most planted grape of the area, followed by Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay. Syrah and Riesling are also popular and continue to grow in acreage.
About Washington
So how does a state known for rain and coffee produce high quality wines? They plant their grapes on the east side of the Cascade mountains, away from that ever-present rain cloud that sits along the coast. Perhaps wine grapes do well since the sandy loam soils east of the Cascade range give way to an almost desert-like land, saved from drought only by the helpful rivers that run through the area – and the good irrigation systems.
Thinking that the state would do best with typical northern growing grapes like Riesling and Gewurtztraminer, turns out the apple state is well-suited for reds, namely Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and, more recently, Syrah. Of course, whites have not been forgotten - Washington State Rieslings range from bone-dry to sweet, are well-structured and high quality, and Chardonnay dominates most of the other white plantings, making a range of wines. But the reds of the region, Merlot in particular, have made Washington State a quality force to be reckoned with.

Martial Arts: Not Just Defense
This weekend I will be testing for my black belt after eight years of Taekwondo classes. During those eight years, I've grown into the person I am today. Not only have I learned how to kick, punch, and block, but I have learned compassion, respect, and confidence. Each Saturday, I spend hours practicing self defense, meditating, sparring or even teaching entire classes. It is one of the most rewarding activities I have ever participated in (and prevents the extracurricular section of my college apps from remaining blank). Unfortunately, the only aspect of taekwondo, or martial arts of any kind, that people pick up on for women, is self defense.
For example, one day this past year, I participated in a jujitsu class:

While NVIDIA and to a lesser extent AMD (via its ATI branded product line) have effectively monopolized the rapidly growing and hyperbole-generating market for GPGPUs, highly parallel application accelerators, Intel has teased the industry for several years, starting with its 80-core Polaris Research Processor demonstration in 2008. Intel's strategy was pretty transparent – it had nothing in this space, and needed to serve notice that it was actively pursuing it without showing its hand prematurely. This situation of deliberate ambiguity came to an end last month when Intel finally disclosed more details on its line of Many Independent Core (MIC) accelerators.
Intel's approach to attached parallel processing is radically different than its competitors and appears to make excellent use of its core IP assets – fabrication and expertise and the x86 instruction set. While competing products from NVIDIA and AMD are based on graphics processing architectures, employing 100s of parallel non-x86 cores, Intel's products will feature a smaller (32 – 64 in the disclosed products) number of simplified x86 cores on the theory that developers will be able to harvest large portions of code that already runs on 4 – 10 core x86 CPUs and easily port them to these new parallel engines.
