L'Oreal Magic Smooth Souffle FoundationFriday, March 04, 2011
Have you seen the new L'Oreal foundation at a store near you yet? If you haven't found it yet, you might want to hunt it down the next time you're looking for a new foundation.
The most obvious thing that sets this foundation apart from others is the texture. It really is like a souffle, somewhat similar to the L'Oreal Studio Secrets Primer, though lighter and more airy. I found that the texture made it easier than a liquid to control how much foundation I used and where I used it.
The foundation has no scent, a light spongy feel and feels silky during application. The blending is pretty easy with my fingertips, though if you apply too soon after moisturizer a little extra blending with a sponge might be needed as I found this foundation was a little less forgiving than other foundations regarding wait time after moisturization. If you wait a minute or two longer after your moisturizer than you do with other foundations, this doesn't seem to be an issue. I'm not certain why this is different, but the foundation really doesn't want to blend in if there is any residue left on the skin.
Once the foundation is on, I found the finish to be very natural looking and of medium coverage. The wear lasts all day without any caking, settling into pores and fine lines or oxidation issues. If anything, my pores seemed to disappear with this foundation regardless of primer use, which I loved!
Smooth Souffle comes in 12 different shades, mostly in a lighter range.

I saw this and wondered how well it worked. It looked too dark for me, even at the lightest shade.ReplyDelete
The light shades are pretty light, but not the porcelain color of your complexion unfortunately. :( I'm hoping if it becomes more popular L'Oreal will release more shades, there aren't a lot of darker choices either.ReplyDelete
I've been wondering about this foundation too because the word "souffle" intrigued me.ReplyDelete
I second the interest peaked by the 'souffle'. It sounded like it would be light and airy, which is exactly what I want in a foundation.ReplyDelete

AMES, Iowa — Historian, mentor and friend are some of the roles that today's grandparents play. During November, family life specialists talk about how important grandparents can be in the lives of their grandchildren in the Science of Parenting blog from Iowa State University Extension and Outreach.
"The relationship of a grandparent and grandchild is second in emotional importance only to the parent/child relationship," said family life specialist Donna Donald. "This month we will take a closer look at the various roles of grandparents, including grandparents raising their grandchildren."
"Today's grandparents often have more time to spend with their grandchildren. They are eager to share their life experiences, nurture a new generation and contribute to the family legacy," said family life specialist Lori Hayungs.
It also appears that the better the relationship between parents and grandparents, the greater the contact and closeness between grandparents and grandchildren, the specialists noted. Learn more from tips on the blog throughout the month and in a four-minute podcast.
Through the Science of Parenting, www.scienceofparenting.org, ISU Extension and Outreach specialists share and discuss research-based information and resources to help parents rear their children. Parents can join in the conversation and share thoughts and experiences, as well as how they handle parenting responsibilities.

quarter panel.
hi, i am going to do the qaurter panels on my ford xc the panels them selves are in good condition its that i wont to fix the rust on the back of the panels and other places while i have the panel off..so iam wondering if it would work if i cut the panels of with a thin cutting wheel i have cutting wheels which are (1.0mm) thick..what iam asking is if i can cut the quarter panel off then weld the same panel back on? and if so the process of doing so.
That is a horid job, cutting of a quarter panel and then reinstalling it, yeow, that hurts. Cutting off small panels, braces or portions of panels is common though. So it isn't out of the question, just uncommon that you would need to remove a quarter. Are you sure you couldn't remove a portion of it, like the up to below a body line or something like that? Post some pictures!
Sometimes removing the whole thing would be easier, other times just a portion may be a big time saver AND less "invasive" and better for the project all the way around.
But getting back to the actual removal, cutting with a cut off wheel is one tool that could be used. You would want a 1/32" wheel, that is about half a mm. But the method most commonly used would be drilling out the spot welds and removing it just the opposite of how it was installed.
Some people will get wierd about drilling out spot welds, it is really no big deal. Look at it as "unbolting" the panel. Those spot welds are really no more than a "rivit" or "bolt" if you think about it, just carefully drill the top surface off, and wham, you have "unbolted" that point.
But you need the proper tools for the job. Over at Autobodystore.com and get some "Wivco" spot weld drilling bits. These bits have a very short pilot drill and cut off the top metal layer only. They are very nice, but I have to warn you, you have to go slow, have the drill perfectly right angle with the surface and start a little pilot "dent" with an 1/8" drill is recommended so the Wivco doesn't wander. If it wanders, it is likely to break. They are VERY hard steel and will fracture pretty easy. But if you are careful one will stay sharp.
This is what a Wivco bit will leave of a spot weld.... (though I didn't use a Wivco to do it, I used another brand)
This is the bit, it has a retractable tip. And you will see that it has very shallow, flat cutting surface so you don't go thru the bottom layer of metal.
As I said, this is like "unbolting" the panel. If you go around and drill the spot welds out like this, the panel comes right almost as if it is "unbolted". There are a few welds that will have a spot that didn't get cut, and you use a panel splitter or my favorite tool for this a gasket scraper to carefully split the panels apart.
This is a "gasket scraper" like I use to split the panel, AFTER the spot weld has been drilled out.
I will often preach about using tools correctly, but this is one time I break my own rule. These gasket scrapers are GREAT tools for splitting panels. They are VERY thin at the end and don't distort the metal around the spot weld. I have found that the Snap On brand tool is the best hands down, I have been using one for YEARS beating it with a hammer to shave pieces of stubborn spot welds and it is still going strong. I bought a "MAC" (another big Tool truck brand like Snap On) to bring home so I could leave the Snap On at work and found that the handle broke from the abuse. The Snap On one is still going strong. But I have tried the tools sold as "Panel spliters" and don't like them at all, they are too thick.

Thank-you MARTINSR
sorry i dont have a cam at the moment so i cant get any pics..but yeah it would be better for me to get the whole quarter panel of cause on the back of the panel there is some rust starting to form and the wheel well needs attention so yeah...would that be the only way to get it off?
EDIT: i added a pic i found on the net...it wat my ford looks like now...i got the pic from..http://www.earlyfords.com.au/current...tm...thank-you

- A detailed budget that itemizes the anticipated expenses.
- A list of anthropology coursework completed, including final grades earned.
- A letter of support from a faculty member in the Anthropology department.
- This award may be combined with other fellowships or scholarships, and applicants are encouraged to explore other funding opportunities.
- The research may be conducted during the summer months or during the school year, but may not be used to cover expenses related to study abroad.

More of the extreme left wing liberal garbage.
University of Utah seeks limited gun ban
Monday, December 04, 2006
SALT LAKE CITY -- The University of Utah is hoping to strike a compromise with state lawmakers to ban guns from certain parts of campus.
In September, the Utah Supreme Court on Friday struck down a ban on guns at the school, saying campus officials could not adopt a policy that runs counter to state law, which prevents state and local agencies from restricting possession or use of firearms on public or private property.
State law prohibits firearms on school property, unless the weapon holder has a permit.
The Legislature amended the law in 2004 to specifically include "state institutions of higher learning," among other things.
Students, faculty and staff had been subject to the university's ban on carrying guns since the 1970s. Those who violated the rule could have been expelled from school, although university officials said that has never happened.
University of Utah President Michael Young said he is now working with legislators to see if guns could be banned in residence halls and athletic venues.
"My sense is that at the end of the day, the Legislature and the university ought to share the same agenda, which is the issue of safety," Young said.
The Legislature is where Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff said the discussion should have taken place all along, noted Brent Burnett, assistant Utah attorney general.
"The university needs to take its concerns to the Legislature, and they were not doing that," Burnett said. "The U. originally made claims that they had the right to make decisions independent of the Legislature. The Utah Supreme Court said, 'No, it's for the Legislature, not for the university."
Senate President John Valentine, R-Orem, said he's already put together an informal task force to work with Young on finding a middle ground on banning guns.
Valentine said most legislators want to work with the university to address communal living situations like dormitories that can complicate the rights of concealed-weapons permit carriers.
"Coming to a university can be a stressful experience, and we're concerned that if guns are in some of these areas, there could be accidental discharges," said Kim Wirthlin, the university's vice president for government relations. "People could be injured could be killed and that kind of an environment is one where circumstances could be out of someone's control, so it makes sense not to have guns."
More of the extreme left wing liberal garbage.
Senate President John Valentine, R-Orem, said he's already put together an informal task force to work with Young on finding a middle ground on banning guns.
Am I the only one who thinks this sounds like Commie PC bullS@#%?!
What would the PC left say if there was a news story like this: Senator Joe Nazi, said he's already put together an informal task force to work with the Clan on finding a middle ground on banning gays?!

text: A question to you experts, I was wondering about something a lot: When I see competitive skaters train, they do like 80% of their practice time jumps (double, tripple), they do a lot in one practice session, every day. Why don't they get problems with their knees (meniscus)? A few do, but most not. Now me as an adult skater, I skate since 4 years, 4-6 hours a week. But since 2 years, I have knee pain when doing to much (single) jumps, I don't jump high, maybe just some inches http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZEShRuUEWQ To much means, more than 10 in one session (two hours). Now I even must reduce them to max. 4 a session...because I'm afraid that I might get a permanent knee injury when doing to much. I love skating to much that I can't be off longer than 3 days if I don't jump, my knee seems ok... btw, I'm not heavy, just 59kg, with 1.71cm hight... Am I right that the muscles in the legs need to support the knee to prevent a heavy load/pressure on them? I belive I don't have enogh muscles that I'm in pain very soon. Its so frustrating, can't practice jumps much, I didn't even try loop and flip yet because of that I'm so jealous of everyone who can jump all the time without any consequences... Any ideas?

Georgia Wildlife Resources Division
2067 U.S. Hwy. 278, SE, Social Circle, GA 30025
The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) periodically tags fish for research purposes. Anglers who catch tagged fish are encouraged to return the tag or tag information to DNR. The information gathered is very valuable to help with research projects and management decisions.
Contact information is printed on the tag allowing you to provide information to DNR. Depending on the project, a reward is sometimes able to be offered for each tag returned. Consult the tag or call the number on the tag for details. When reporting a tagged fish the following types of information is needed:
In past years, some individuals have placed their own personal tags on fish which were then released. This activity has created confusion among anglers over the purpose for the tagging and the organization responsible for it. Tagging by an inexperienced person can result in the needless death of the fish. For these reasons, the Department of Natural Resources urges anglers not to tag fish in public waters.

Bauer named Cactus League opener starter
(GOODYEAR, Ariz.) – Trevor Bauer will be the Cleveland Indians starting pitcher when the Tribe opens up their 2014 Cactus League exhibition schedule on Wednesday at Goodyear Ballpark. However, that doesn't mean much when it comes to the fifth-starter competition in the Indians pitching rotation.
Indians manager Terry Francona confirmed on Sunday that Bauer would get the start at 3:05 pm ET against the Cincinnati Reds. The 23-year-old right-hander is scheduled to pitch one inning for the Tribe.
Francona quickly mentioned how Bauer's upcoming start means nothing more than the day he was simply scheduled to throw.
"(Pitching coach) Mickey [Callaway] and I just sat down and he gave me the names," Francona said. "[Aaron] Harang is pitching behind him and we hadn't even signed him the day we went over this."
Francona was reminded that LHP Giovanni Soto started for the club in last year's Cactus League opener, showing that the significance of starting that first exhibition game does not mean all that much.
Bauer is competing for a spot in the Indians starting pitching rotation, along with RHP Josh Tomlin, RHP Carlos Carrasco, Harang and RHP Shaun Marcum. Only one spot remains in the starting five behind Justin Masterson, Danny Salazar, Corey Kluber and Zach McAllister (in no particular order).
The Tribe opens up with the Reds for the fourth-straight season, as both teams share Goodyear Ballpark as their home stadium.
Last season Bauer finished 1-2 with an ERA of 5.29. The young right-hander has refined his pitching delivery and is looking to bounce back after a rough 2013 campaign.
Newsradio WTAM 1100 will carry Wednesday's Cactus League opener at 3:05 pm ET.

Well I have 2 airbrushes laying around, not commissioned for any work, and I was wondering. I dont like the spray can method, because you can never get 99% close to the real paintjob. With an airbrush, you can mix paints to be very very exact. I just dont like spray cans if you want to replicate something accurately. I would use spray cans for custom mandos, but they just dont appeal to me.
Anyways, I have read alot on this website but I have not seen much on the airbrush paints of the ESB Armor. I have a few choice that I will post up soon. Most likely it will be humbolt Enamel, or floquil. Either way I can mix the paint and try to replicate it.
I just want suggestions from everyone else on what paints to use.

Why is it when someone scrolls a dex item it should be an overall? i mean, even if the overall has 10 slots, a normal set (normal meaning by a top and bottom) would have 14 slots altogether
i no that if u get a dragon robe or a blue crusader chain mail you get extra Dex but even so, the over all would still be 4 slots behind anyways.
so why is it when a warrior creates a dex set for their character, its always an overall?

Marouane Chamakh believes Arsenal may now need to win almost every game if they are going to lift the title.
The Moroccan's winner against Birmingham on Saturday helped his team close within five points of leaders Chelsea but, despite the Premier League season being just eight games old, the 26-year-old feels there is little margin for error.
"I still believe we can do it," he said. "Especially when you see the way we are playing and the team we have.
"It does not all depend on us but almost every game has to be won. There is no place for any other mistake and then we'll see if we can go above Chelsea."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

sean, it was a bad year. i got a few veggies but not worth all the work i put into it.cindi, here is my weed. it's saving grace is that the bees seem to like it, but it takes over everything by mid to late summer.http://picasaweb.google.com/pearce.km/GrandkidsAndAdrianAndLisa?authkey=gW99brtVmp4#
EVERYWHERE there were these little red berries from a heavy ground cover plant (I've seen them before in nurseries and they took over my veggie patch). I'm afraid these berries will kick start a new batch of horror next season. What should I do now to winter for a "weed free" season next year? Should I cover with black plastic? Spray herbicide?Sean Kelly

Hello All. This is my first post to forum...hope everyone is doing well!
I was browsing around for a Jemery Bulloch autograph online and stumbled across Jeremy's website. It appeared that you could order autographs right from the site (Jeremy Bulloch.com) for alot cheaper than what was circling around EBay.
I was wondering if anyone has had experience with ordering autographs from that website? I was mainly wondering if the autographs were reprints or if they are actually original/authentic signed pics? Any CoA or anything?
Thanks for your time!

Come dance with meDecember 1, 2010
(Published in LINKS: Minority Research & Training - Fall 2010)
Some people remember their high school prom as the perfect party to celebrate the end of an era. Others do not fondly recall their evening. For older adults living in or around St. Louis, Missouri, it's never too late to make new prom memories.
That's because for the past 3 years students from the Washington University School of Medicine Geriatrics Outreach Group, Washington University School of Medicine's Program in Occupational Therapy, and the St. Louis College of Pharmacy have worked together to host a special "Senior" Prom.
"The event is an opportunity to increase interaction between health professional students and older adults, to celebrate healthy aging, and to emphasize the importance of socialization and the benefits of physical activity," explains Monique M. Williams, M.D., M.S.C.I., who directs the Community Outreach and Recruitment Core and is Assistant Professor of Medicine and Psychiatry in the Division of Geriatrics and Nutritional Science at Washington University School of Medicine. Williams, an NIA grantee, suggested the concept of a Senior Prom to students in 2007 as a means of outreach and interaction with local older adults. They took the idea and ran with it.
This year, 115 older adults from senior apartments and several area community centers attended the Senior Prom. They dined on pasta and dessert. They took prom king and queen photos. They danced to the tunes of the Original Knights of Swing, a 19-piece big band founded in 1949, when the bandleader was in high school. "This is the music that I love. You can understand the lyrics, and the lyrics are pleasant, and it is so enjoyable to dance with the students," one attendee noted.
The magic of the evening, however, is less about the food and entertainment and more about the chance to feel young again. One senior explained how it put a new beat in her husband's step, "My husband had a stroke 18 years ago. We used to go dancing all the time, but he hasn't danced since his stroke. When he heard about Senior Prom, I told him that we should go. He put on his tuxedo, and he danced tonight." For another attendee, the Senior Prom was a like a time machine, transporting her back to a more carefree part of her life, "It was the best event for a person my age to feel so alive and bring back so many precious memories. The room was filled with happiness. Next year, I am going to bring all of my friends!"
A desire to share the positive feeling from this activity makes each prom-goer eager to help spread the word to friends and family, contributing to the event's success. To learn more about the Senior Prom program, contact Williams at email@example.com.

text: This is my budget ROTJ armor. I cut it out of sintra and formed the pieces using the boiling water technique and molded them against my packing tape body form. THe back piece i had to use a hair dryer cuz it was a little too big to boil :D. I used rattle cans to paint the base and used model paint to do the weathering and the chest emblem by hand. I still have to finish the weathering. I know its not 100% accurate, but for my first try at a boba costume i am happy with how its coming together.

'Typical of the series, the Senators had every chance to win Game 5, but the Buffalo Sabres won it on limited opportunities. They're sneaky dangerous, the Sabres. Deadly, it turned out.

In his CM: the Next Generation series, Joe Farah gives us a glimpse into the trends that CM experts will need to tackle and master based upon industry trends and future technology challenges.
As we start a new year, the CM/ALM world continues to evolve. We've seen a lot of migration to open source solutions, but we've also seen, in the past year, some impressive commercial ALM releases, especially from IBM (RTC) and from Neuma (CM+7). It appears clear that those who can do with less will move from lower end commercial solutions to open source. Those who need more comprehensive and integrated solutions, targeted at the wider project team will continue to seek them commercially.
I thought it might be fun to start off this column for 2011 with a look, not at the CM/ALM functionality itself, but at what else ALM needs - the underpinnings and structures that are in place within a CM/ALM tool, which help give the tool significant character. Rather than pointing at any one tool, or even characterizing tools as a whole, I'll present this month's contribution in the form or ALM tool requirements. These are requirements for adopting a CM/ALM tool that fall outside of the specifics of the CM/ALM functions themselves.
So for example, rather than focusing on the ability to automatically generate baselines, do fancy merges or create an elaborate branching scheme, we'll focus more on things such as ease-of-use, traceability navigation, and process support.
So that you may use these requirements to evaluate your current tools in these non-functional areas, I've even included a way for you to evaluate your current solutions. First, define what you see as your solution and then look at the criteria to see how you see your solution fitting the criteria. I'd be interested in hearing results. Just post the solution description and your score at the end of the article. Hopefully we'll get a representative sample. After we get a few postings, perhaps I'll share my own environment's score.
In my opinion, it is in these areas more than in the CM/ALM functional requirements that we' willl see the biggest improvements over the coming year(s). Yes they are functional areas of the tool, but not requirements of each ALM function per se. If you're looking at a prospective tool, look closely at these areas. We would love to see your results and I'll gladly publicize a spreadsheet of results if I hear from at least 3 of you. I'll post it against this article.
The scoring criteria are my own. You may not agree with them and your comments are more than welcome. They are in the absence of any weighting criteria, so each is significant on its own merit. If you have some other criteria you think might be added to the list, let's hear from you too.
The evaluation is heavily geared toward ALM, rather than strict CM or SCC systems. All criteria are evaluated on a scale of 1 to 5. Pick the closest one or use .5 modifiers if you wish. In some cases, the criteria are clear. In others, there is a range of factors to consider. In this case, an estimate of the percentage of factors your solution excels at will do. However, results will vary because "excels" is subjective.
End-to-end Functionality Coverage
OK. We're not looking at ALM functionality in detail here. Rather, only the areas of ALM your solution covers (i.e., sufficiently that you don't need additional tools to support that function).

Re: cheap power improvements to the 425...
Here are some videos and stuff of my stock 425, these were taken in the winter, I have since change some things on the car (interrior stuff etc...) I copied and paste this from another site, so I dunno if I may be talking about off-topic stuff, but it explains all the videos and I don't have to re-type it all
Once I fianlly get the miniDV camera, I am going to take some cool videos, these were taken by my digital camera in video mode (no sound)
plus the rear tires are completly bald now.... so I need to wait until i get new tires before I do much more of anything (some nice burn out videos will be coming soon though
highway (can't see the tach):
highway with tach:
^I coudln't tell how fast i was going when I shifted into 3rd.... the speedo was burried and the GPS wasn't with me.... but I shifted at 4,000RPM, I could have held it out to 4,200 or so and got even more...... it is fun
This is why the tires are bald:
^was for a contest that I didn't win (hence the short time)
Here is the sound form in the car, windows closed doing 0-85 or so. I just left it in drive, and it shifts into 3rd at 3,400RPM (when in drive) The ticking is the leaking left exhaust manifold, and the only reason why you hear the engine is because of the open element air filter, with that on, when the secondaires open, it sounds like it does int eh video. Witht he stock air clenaer, it is quiet. Also despite the high torque fo the big block, the car itself bogs from a stop, both due to the carburator needing to be rebuilt, and the gearing, you can kinda hear it bog a little in the sound clip. Besides the open element air filter and the cat. conv. that I drained the beads out of (still there though) the car is comeplty stock. Has a full tune up but that is it. With 90k miles, it runs great, but the enigne inside is kinda dirty, look in the valve covers it is sludgey, the new oil is really dirty within 3,000 miles or so.... but you really can't kill a big block Cadillac.... although you may go broke feeding it
All in all, not too bad for a 26 year old daily driver from the land of emmission-loaded, low compresson engines.... I am just holding off until I put a built up 472/500 into this car, get a nice 2.78 Posi w/ rear disc brakes from a similar year limo, and then we will be talking
Re: cheap power improvements to the 425...
No need to pull heads to do what I'm talkng about. I agree (from reading the MTS web site) that the MTS 5 and MTS 10 cams move your power peak up the curve - and may not give you much extra peak power without head mods, etc... However, I believe that the MTS 3 cam will move your power peak to LOWER RPM's than stock. That is the idea behind that cam - gobs of low RPM torque at the expense of some high RPM power. If you can confirm that your stock valvetrain (springs, etc) will work with that cam, then it seems a great idea. Give MTS a call and let us know what they say. As you seem to agree, who cares about high RPM power with such low rear gears? Torque off the line is what this is all about. I like your videos! Does the tach on the column hide anything important? Were you able to find a nice one-piece strap with rubber sleeve under it or is it still the radiator hose clamp trick these days? I may do that if I get a similar car.
Re: cheap power improvements to the 425...
the 3 series cam is not what I would want... it is a cam made for fuel efficentcy.... I really don't want the powerband LOWER then what is is stock, the engine has enough low end power, it is the top end where it lacks... so taking away from what it already dosn't have much of adds to that.... For my intentions with the 425 (mostly stock, some tuning etc...) the stock cam isn't a factor right now.... Maybe I can pull the thread that I was talking about swapping the cam.
The location of the tach does not block anything, not even the left blinker directional arrow, in fact it kinda matches the car, black background with white letters and a red/orange needle. having the redline at 4,000RPM is neat though... it is soo different then any other car I have been in, like my friends '01 Jetta 1.8T, or even my fathers '99 GP GTP, it goes thru the revs so quick, 100RPM means nothing.... but just look at the tach on the '79, the speedo moves faster then the tach! Not only that, but 100RPM on the 425 makes a world of a difference etc....
I have it on with double sided tape, which has now fallen off, so I will just put one of those big plastic pipe tie things on it and be done for now.
Also, the tach goes to 8,000RPM, so if I put it on 4cylinder mode, it doubles the real RPM, it is pretty cool to see it wind up to 8,000 or move so fast in this car
2 cool things I have noted though:
under WOT in drive, the 1-2 shift happens at 3,900RPM, and the 2-3 shift is 3,400RPM..... which is why when in drive it goes into 3rd around 85mph, but if you manually shift it and hold it out longer, it'll completly burry the speedo, and then go. I think I remember gearing the "redline" of the engine is around 4,200RPM.... I have shifted my 425 into 2nd at 4,600RPM (doing 65mph in first!) and it didn't like it too much.... by then the power is dropping way off though.
Also, the stock torque peak is at 2,000RPM, you would be very surprised to see that under normal acceleration form a stop, going from 40-60mph, or anything, when you hit the gas (not to the floor, but normally) the tach goes right to 2,000RPM, then sits there.... while the car is accelerating... the tach moves very slowly, but it just, for the most part sits there.... it is pretty cool how these engines move these cars with the gearing they have.....

Re: cheap power improvements to the 425...
To made an update:
My original catalytic converter finnaly plugged up (you cant blame it, it gave 29 years of reliable service).
I took my friends sawzall, and took care of that problem. I stared the engine up after that and mashed the gas in park a few times... Oh man, did it have a nice gurgly roar to it.
I installed about 10 feet of small fence post pipe (2" outer diameter) and rigged it up to the old exhaust hangers. The fence post pipe really toned down the bad-assness of the exhaust, but made it sound like a WWII propeller airplane with a 3spd auto. The exhaust noise under a heavy pull sounds nothing like a V8 untill the secondaries pop open.
As a side note to those wishing to remove the catalytic converter, check with your local state patroll... I was given the A-Ok on my car (because its older than dirt and we dont have emmssions testing). Emissions and exhaust noise violations can add up. Also, the gasoline and sulpher smell is pretty strong.
The acceleration from 0-50 really grabs me by my underwear now. I can leave long long strips of rubber with both tires in parking lots (the whole lenth of them doing a slight turn). Power braking is no sweat, flipping cookies also is easy.
I had my friends freaking out in the car (doing 55mph in a parking lot), they called it a piece of crap and said their toyotas were better... or so they thought .
I would be doing some real engine work.. But umm... Well, gas is TOO EXPENSIVE for 7mpg, so I just blew my cash on a diesel VW (50mpg).
Im low on cash (down to $1200, and unemployed). If I get some good income, im giving the caddy hell.
Btw, is the 425 engine a weak candidate for hot rodding? Im worried about the crankshaft, cooling, vavles, rods, pistons... Im looking for a lot more Torque under the 2000rpm range, 500Ft-lbs would be nice without forced induction or nitrous .

Re: cheap power improvements to the 425...
Here I am running the Caddy thru 1st gear... all stock, about to turn 90k.
The sound is from the 14" Edelbrock open element air filter
the carb needs to be rebuilt, the engine dosn't run as good as it should... and 2.28 gears suck. I just bought 4 new, kinda used tires, so I went out tonight doing my best to get some rubber.... but gosh! the car did not want to listen.... in this video the tires hardly spun from a stop, I wasn't able to do a brake stand (tried aobut 5 times) or even a power slide.... wasn't a very productive night
But i finally got my miniDV cam corder! still trying to figure out how to get the video ont he tape on the comp0uter, so these are form the little SD card... quality is bad, but there is sound
Re: cheap power improvements to the 425...
see.... she just didn't want to go along...
between the very high gears, and the 235 tires on it.... and the hesitation form an idle.... there isn't much overall low end power... it takes alot to get the 2.28 gears spinning... and stay spinning...
she was in drive, so it shifted into 3rd at 3,400RPM instead of 3,900RPm it shifts into 2nd....
Re: cheap power improvements to the 425...
I go the tire to spin... but no nosie, just the enigne revving when I looked int he rear view there was a trail of smoke tho.....
Re: cheap power improvements to the 425...
well, I think alot of it has to do with 2 factors:
1) to really get the car going sideways, I gotta throw it into the turn, but with all the foilage now, I gotta slow up to see if any one is there... not enough momentium to get is going...
2) I really need both hands on the wheel when trying to put the car sideways, it just helps me alot... and only haivng 1 hand ont he wheel and the other holding the camera is kinda hard in that respect
Re: cheap power improvements to the 425...
Tape the camera to the right of the headrest or something
Re: cheap power improvements to the 425...Originally Posted by terrible one
I'll have to see, maybe I could use the 3M velco stuff on it like i do my radar detector.... but then I would have to put more of that stuff on the dash since it is all the way at the front, near the windsheild for the radar detector... maybe a temp. way to mount it to the passenger side headrest?
Re: cheap power improvements to the 425...
To pump up the power of a 425 do you really think you need a 4k kit to do it ?
I know you dont
Just a good rebuild will get you where you wanna be with some head work and thats the key.
another thing....do not ever replace a cam without replacing the stock springs at a minimum.
they have been there long enough and are always mush..TI
Re: cheap power improvements to the 425...
well, I want to open up the 425 a little... what I really want to do is an all out performance build on a 472/500
For the 425, as far as performance goes, I want to install the modified 472 intake manidolf (once it gets modified) and the rebuilt carb (once it gets rebuilt) then get a nice free flowing dual exhaust on the car, which will stay on the car even with the 472/500, so that'll be a good investment.
Then I would like to find the rear end from a commercial chassis/factory towing package car... I want those 2.78 gears, Posi, and rear disc brakes just to show off
I know a cam and head work would do wonders.... but I really didn't want to get *that* involved with the 425....
Plus I'll be in FL in a couple months, with no cash to do anything with the car (in tech. school) so sooner or latter the car is going (back) to Florida.... so the 425 will power its way down there, I have always wanted a '77-'92 RWD Deville/Brougham to do a nice build up with, and I got one hell of a steal on the car a little over a month ago.... so now that I have the car, I can wait.... well, I really want to get a 472/500 just to "have" it, but now i am just waiting on funds.
Plus, I think between the carb/intake manifold and dual exhaust, the 425 will be running better already.... I know as it is right now, the carb is already causing (performance) issues...

Is there another solution to the neck seal? I tried the shirt and I wasn't happy with the back it was bulging up. What else is out there to use?
Is there another solution to the neck seal? I tried the shirt and I wasn't happy with the back it was bulging up. What else is out there to use?
A nice wife, girlfriend, or mom could make one for you. Or if you are comfortable with your manhood you could make one yourself. You can get material at Wal-Mart for cheap that would work. I am working on mine and will post pics when I am done.
I haven't worn it for too long, so I can't comment on it's practical applications lol. Right now it's on my mannequin and it looks kickass. The obvious alternative is to simply buy a vest from a fett vender. Most that I've seen have a high neck on them anyway. That's what my other suit will have.
my vest has a turtle neck built in, but it's just straight. How would you go about making it ruffly? pulling it down a little and sewing there?
Is there anybody out there that sells just neck seals....It feels like I am having alot of trouble finding something.
Yeah, there is a guy on ebay that sells neckseals. I'm not at home, but when I get home, I can send you his emails. You might find him on ebay.
His user name is huofist. He sells different sw items from time to time. I actually bought my t-20 heavy blaster from him for my sandtrooper gear. Nice transaction. Sort of a recluse, he lives down the street from my store and wouldn't allow me to pick it up, even knocked off shipping and offered to discount the gun $5 if he could just ship it to me. Sort of strange, but reliable...
Ack..that's a little strange.
Hey folks,
I've seen the Huofist neckseals on ebay going for $30+ and so forth. I was at Wal-Mart and experienced a mini-epiphany.
As I've mentioned before I'm building a 'b' suit to finance my 'a' suit and needed a makeshift neck seal. Well I bought a xxxl white t-shirt for $4 and I cut out the sleeve with some extra flap and it works and looks just fine to me. It's quite comfortable, not stiff, and can be lifted to cover the entire bottom of your head, right out to your chin. I don't have any pictures but when things start to be finished better I'll try to post pics.
Felt like an idiot standing in wal-mart trying to shove my head through a shirt sleeve
I bought one of his neckseals off of eBay and am quite happy with it. He makes it to your necksize and it's quite comfortable.
Can you post a pic of this neckseal for us?
Yes, a picture would be great. Both pics he uses appear to be only movie suit stills. I was wary about what the real one would look like.
Hey don't pick on the bear. That's my job.
OUCH! I'm just not loved in the 501st
I just finished making my own neck seal. The one on the vest that my mother made was too thin and would fall down once I started heating up. I don't have any pictures to post, but it's really simple, and you don't have to sew. I used some left over fabric from the vest we made (a light grey 100% cotton)and cut out a strip 6" x 20", this will be the base. Using Goop glue, I folded over and glued the top and bottom edges so the height is now 5". Then I cut out 6 pieces of the same fabric 7" x 22". Starting at the bottom edge I rolled them up and glued the outside edge down, so I now had six 20" fabric tubes. Then I glued each of those onto the base with all of the excess on one side. The excess 2" is folded over and glued onto the back (this will be the edge that shows). Use an epoxy glue to set your velcro, and your good to go. It looks awesome, took less than an hour, and I had all the materials already.

Hello lucy
Now i need your help again
i teaches my students new reading activities.
in these activities the students must transfer the text into a table, charts, timelines or graphs. the problem is that i dont have much texts to train them how to use this skill. so can you give me some websites or names of books or students book that can nhelp me to get some exercises????
i searched on the intenet ut i didnt find any useful website.
waiting your reply>


text: People always say that B/S would score far higher than S/P under IJS, but I'm curios what the IJS experts will say regarding the kinds of scores they would receive for clean or near-clean skates. Hypothetically speaking, let's say B/S and S/P skate IJS-adjusted programs with the upgraded elements under the 2006 version of the scoring system. How would Lady Caliph, Meditation of Thais, Jalousie, and Love Story score? Do you think specific scores are quantifiable. How would they fare against Totmianina/Marinin's performances in Torino? How about against a strong Shen/Zhao?

I grew up in Dover-Foxcroft. Ever heard of it? It's up near Moose head lake. It's about 40 minutes North of Bangor. My grandfather used to keep bees down in Searsport. He is tickled that I have started. Said it was so good to have "real honey" again. ;)Shannon

Password Safe 3.25
Was ist die FileHippo-Sicherheitsgarantie?
Wir wissen, wie wichtig es ist, online geschützt zu sein, deshalb nutzt FileHippo Virenscantechnologie von Avira, um sicherzustellen, dass alle Downloads auf FileHippo frei von Schadsoftware sind. Das Programm, das sie gerade herunterladen wollen, kann ohne Bedenken auf Ihrem Gerät installiert werden.
# New Features
- New View menu option: Show entries with Expiry. This is useful for displaying entries with passwords that are expired or about to expire.
# Changes to Existing Features
- The password expiration warning mechanism now checks for expiration daily. The display of expired and almost-expired entries has been redesigned, allowing users to update the entry directly. When an expired password is changed, the expiry date will be cleared unless there is a recurring password expiry interval, in which case a new expiry date will be calculated.
- Double-clicking on the system tray icon when PasswordSafe is not minimized now brings it to front, instead of minimizing.
- Rename of an entry or group in the Tree View can now only be performed via the Rename shortcut (default value F2), using the Edit menu or the right-click context menu. Edit in place by double clicking the entry is no longer allowed as, most of the time, this was not the desired action.
- Filtered views are now updated when an entry's edited, e.g., if an entry is edited such that it no longer satisfies the filter's criteria, it will be removed from the display.
# Bugs fixed
- Fix new group creation location. When a Group is selected, then selecting 'Add Group' from the Edit menu or from the context menu displayed by right clicking on that Group, the new group will be a child of the selected group. However, when using the context menu displayed on right clicking on 'white space' below the last entry/group displayed, the group will be created at the topmost level.
- No longer crashes if search starts with Shift-Enter (search backwards).
- Windows installer will now refuse to install on Win2K,referring user to last supported version on that OS (3.18).
- Window view is now saved and restored if the user uses the Windows "Show Desktop" feature.
- No longer crashes when doing an Undo after a Merge.- Ensure Undo/Redo honour the changes to the display of the original change.

Shelbyville man faces 60 years in landlady's slaying
A Shelbyville man has pleaded guilty in the stabbing death of his 74-year-old landlady, but maintains he was not the one who killed her.
Under the plea agreement accepted by a judge Friday, 36-year-old William Goode would face 60 years in prison for felony murder in the January 2012 slaying of Genevieve Kelly.
Prosecutors say Goode killed Kelly during a burglary at her home in the city 25 miles southeast of Indianapolis. The Shelbyville News reports that Goode admits only that he was there when Kelly was slain, but claims he did not kill her. He says the killer also stabbed him in the leg.
Police found bloody clothes, a knife and items owned by Kelly under Goode's bed.
Goode will be sentenced Feb. 22.

Sabres' fans like rough-house, hard-nosed hockey. They want tough, gritty, physical play from everyone, especially the bigger guys. So when the 6'4", 220-pound Richard Smehlik doesn't lay people out with bone-jarring body checks they, quite simply, go nuts. They can't understand why a big guy doesn't use his size more. Why he doesn't just start plastering people against the boards. Well maybe it's time we start to understand why.
Smehlik: 'That's the way I'm gonna play'

text: As much as I love skating, I don't think it's going to be accessible to me for at least a couple of years. In short, my rink (already a long journey) is going through some issues. I'm facing a 4-5hr return journey to the next closest rink, at least temporarily, right when my personal schedule has made the regular 3hr return difficult to do even once a week. On that note, I decided to look into options for "similar" sports, in terms of the stuff I like: rhythm and music and the acquisition of different elements. I considered roller-figure skating, but travel is still an issue and I don't really like rollerskating/inline. I think the way to go is ballet, though I'm open to other suggestions. I haven't done dance since I was a tot (3-5 years old). Basically, the features of my situation: - I got to about Freestyle 1 level in skating. Solid waltz jump, working on salchow and toe loop, a bit further behind on spins. - I am not very flexible and have a muscle condition that makes me prone to injury from overzealous stretching. It's not impossible to increase my flexibility but it has to be done slowly. I did once get to the point where I could almost go from touching-toes to hands-flat-on-ground. - There seem to be various options nearby for kids/teen ballet but, although I'm in my late teens, I think with the flexibility issue I'd be more suited to an adult beginner class. - I don't really want to do a "concert at the end of the year"-type class, though this isn't necessarily a deciding factor. Does anyone know what kind of things I should look for in a class description/class type? Any other advice? I thought this was the kind of thing that might be offered on a drop-in or eight-week-class sort of basis at the gym, but it doesn't seem to be. All the classes are more focussed on attaining a body shape rather than acquiring aesthetic/athletic skills. Are adult beginner ballerinas really so rare?

I was intrigued by all the speculation of everyone saying that it could have been a speargun of some sort. So, I typed in English spearguns and hit search and came up with thousands of sites....YUCK.
Anyway, the few sites I did click on showed the definitive grip and upper body of the alleged weapon in question.
Anyone else go looking for it and find the same thing also?

Reviewed By Ron F (KNOXVILLE, TN) Reviewed for a 1999 Mazda Miata/MX-5 —2/4/2015 12:18 PM
The hitch is well made getting the last hole drilled was the biggest challenge as others had stated. Now finding a T-Connector made for a Mazda Miata does not exsist rather than a universal which others have found to become unreliable and had to purchase another with no luck either. My mechanic suggested to just hard wire it after his research. I know a 1999 Mazda Miata was not designed as a tow car but I'm glad Curt had a bumper hitch designed to fit it for my 11 day road trip with a small tag a long trailer. I would recommend the quality and the service from AutoAnything.

How's everyone doing? Ok so with having a baby coming this next month I'm really pushing to finish up the last little touches of my Fett "This being the EE-3" I was hoping to get one of the better kits out there but have to start getting things ready if you know what I mean. So I was thinking to myself why not just get the hasbro, now when I first thought about doing this thing I thought " it's just gonna take way to much for this thing to look good enough to take out" and with the money I've spent on my suit this in my eyes is one of the main points of the Fett. So then I decided "hey with the things I have laying around and a few bucks more I could turn this into a half way decent blaster but its gonna take alot of work". The creative juices started flowing and some really great idea's came to mind, so yes my friends it is on! This will be a full mod not one where I will just be extending the barrel and making a bigger longer stock but gonna rework the hole thing over. Here is a list of what I will be doing.
-Doing a all new barrel with new T-Tracks
-Removing the scope and adding the proper on
-Making the base of the blaster wider for an overall bigger look
-Putting on a proper size bracket and handle
-Filling in all seam lines and covering all screws that are not to be seen
Ok then on to the pic"s
The choping block
here I just want to cut the hole thing down so that I could start reworking everything
the first thing I did was do a little sanding to the trigger to give it a better look and fill
came out pretty nice I thinks :D
after that I decided to go ahead and start working on the barrel. I picked up a piece of PVC pipe 1-1.5 I do believe and cut it to 8'
I then covered up the ends and added the (orange tip to it- sorry can't remember what its called off the top of my head)
Still needing to order my T-Tracks so this part is on hold for the time being:D
Next I moved on to the part in between the but of the gun and the barrel, here just working on filling in seam lines. I was thinking about adding a piece of sheet styrene to make it abit wider but opted not to because it would make to barrel way to small.
A little putty?
didnt take a pic of the sanded piece but you get the picture
After that is all sanded down I worked on covering up the ends of each side
This was done because when cutting this piece away from the barrel there was a big hole and the PVC piping had nothing to connect to.
Next I moved on to the but of the gun " if anyone wants to chime in and give me the correct tirm for this please do (fill like I'm starting to sound like a retard lol!)"
So then I removed the detail on the side (that just wont do, gonna redo them)
Also removed the back part of the main part " WOW did that not make any sence to anyone else haha"
After looking a pic's of the Master replica I noticed that it was a bit rounder not just flat, so gonna rework that also
Just got a new piece in the mail :D
My new bracket based off the Webley, also just ordered my stock from Woodman so when that gets here I will be able to start working on that.
This is gonna be a slow process but I think with a little time and determination I think it will turn out to be a pretty good looking blaster. I will keep updating as things go a long and I hope anyone else out there that is looking for a blaster but is in the same boat as myself, I hope this helps.

Whoa. It's been awhile, huh?
I've been busy with life so I haven't been crafting much at all. But I am back at it now and will have a couple blog posts this week.. starting with this one!
I used the Echo Park Happy Go Lucky Photo Freedom kit for these two pages. I kept this clean and simple and just focused on the pictures. I mean, the whole concept with this style of 'scrapbooking' is to be quick and easy, right?… So here's some quick and easy for ya!
We had a nice little day taking some photos of her in the dress I made.. and as you see, I had to make her American Girl doll one as well.
The butterfly wings pop up for some dimension. Really cute cuts.. I found them in the Silhouette store.
Here's page #2. My favorite part is how I split the balloons sticker betwen two pockets.
And yes.. I will admit she looks kinda scary in the bottom right photo, lol.. But that was her.. gummy wide grin, lol. Grimlin style.
This page has hidden journaliing. I was done with the page and was like, "Crap! I didn't add any journaling.." lol. So 'hidden' worked well for this.
Isn' this PF theme beautiful though? I LOVE it. I think it's my favorite PF theme so far.
And while you're here I thought I'd share what's coming to me VERY soon.. which means you'll soon be able to get the, too.. Look at this yumminess.
There's HAPPY CAMPER. I have project ideas spewing outta my brain with this one.. CAN'T WAIT!
There's also the FANTASTIC HERE & NOW. OMG, peeps.. this is GORGEOUS!!! Can not WAIT to work with this. I am gonna use the crazy outta this!
The colors.. I mean REALLY.
Anyhow, I am looking forward to my DT box (when aren't I?) and creating some projects to inspire you all (hopefully?..). Which of these two if YOUR favorite?
Alrighty, friends.. off ya go. See you again soon.. Sorry to be MIA for a bit. I have a few more goodies to share so check back!
OH!.. hold up!.. Who uses BLOG LOVIN' to follow your favorite blogs? Please follow ME! Follow my blog with Bloglovin
OK.. I will allow you to depart from my blog now *smiles*
