"I absolutely LOVED this card. It was my first time ordering from Tiny Prints - the order was delivered on time as stated and the results were beautiful! I used this as my son's graduation announcement. The only issue I had, and it was a very small issue, was the choice of text size on the initial at the top. I wanted to use something different at the top, but could not because it locks withing a certain font size range. The cards look AWESOME with the pearl paper - it is well worth the extra cost. I can't say enough about how pleased I was!"
"Fantastic graphics. Trifold product is cool and unique. Paper quality feels "rich." When your 18-year-old graduate thinks it's amazing, that says a lot!"

Welcome to the Undergraduate Leadership Program
At Andrews University we understand that sooner or later everything comes down to leadership. Whether pursuing a profession, parenting children or following the Gospel commission, it all rises and falls on intentional influence…leadership. Some of these moments will be in public with the spotlight on, while others appear private in one to one relationships. No matter. Every person encounters critical opportunities of impact every day. It won't require a title or position to change the world. You simply must be ready.
"Leadership is intentional influence."
If, in fact, Leadership is influence, then we at Andrews assume that everyone is a leader. This makes our job easy because we don't have to identify leaders. We simply ask the question, "Are you maximizing your leadership potential?"
The Undergraduate Leadership Program seeks to develop young leaders and to partner with them on their leadership journey. Presently there are two ways in which our students can become involved in our program.
1. LEAD101. This class is designed to stand alone or to function as the gateway into the Leadership Certificate.
2. Leadership Certificate. Students who complete LEAD101 may apply for the Leadership Certificate Program.
More information on LEAD101 and the Leadership Certificate is coming soon. Please feel free to email questions to email@example.com.

The Maxwell Football Club today announced its watch lists for the 77th annual Maxwell Award and the 19th annual Bednarik Award.
The Maxwell Award, named in honor of Robert W. "Tiny" Maxwell, has been given to America's College Player of the Year since 1937. Maxwell's contributions to the game of football were extensive, including as a player, a sportswriter and an official. The Bednarik Award has been presented to the College Defensive Player of the Year since 1995. Chuck Bednarik, former standout at Penn and with the Philadelphia Eagles, is a member of both the College Football Hall of Fame's Class of '69 and the NFL Hall of Fame's Class of '67.
The watch lists will once again incorporate a broad spectrum of Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) programs and conferences from coast to coast. Returning Maxwell Award semifinalists from 2012 include Clemson QB Tajh Boyd, USC WR Marqise Lee, Texas A&M QB Johnny Manziel, Alabama QB AJ McCarron, Ohio State QB Braxton Miller and Oregon RB De'Anthony Thomas. The list also showcases six defensive players, and for the first time in Award history three offensive linemen, Michigan OT Taylor Lewan, Texas A&M OT Jake Matthews and Stanford OG David Yankey. Defending National Champion Alabama is the most represented program, with RB T.J. Yeldon, WR Amari Cooper and LB C.J. Mosley joining McCarron.
The Bednarik Award watch list features three of last season's semifinalists as well, Mosley, South Carolina DE Jadeveon Clowney and Arizona State DT Will Sutton. All three are included on the Maxwell Award watch list as well. Despite losing LB Manti Te'o to graduation, Notre Dame places four players on the watch list, one more than Alabama, Florida, Ohio State and Stanford, which are all represented by three players.
Last season, Te'o made history by becoming the first player to win the Maxwell Award and the Chuck Bednarik Award in the same year. The last defensive player to win the Maxwell Award was Pittsburgh DE Hugh Green in 1980. In the 2013 NFL Draft, Te'o was selected in the second round by the San Diego Chargers, and is expected to start as a rookie.
Semifinalists for the Maxwell and Bednarik Awards will be announced Oct. 29, while the three finalists for each award will be unveiled Nov. 25th. The winners of the 2013 Maxwell and Bednarik Awards will be announced as part of the Home Depot College Football Awards Show held on Dec. 12th. The formal presentations of these awards will be made at the Maxwell Football Club Awards Gala hosted by Harrah's Entertainment Atlantic City on March 7, 2014.
The watch list candidates have been chosen by the Maxwell Football Club's selection committee, which analyzes both past performance and future potential. The Club reserves the right to make additions and deletions to these lists as the 2013 season unfolds. All members of the Maxwell Football Club, NCAA sports information directors, FBS head coaches and selected national media are eligible to vote for the awards.
The Maxwell and Chuck Bednarik Awards are members of the National College Football Awards Association (NCFAA) which encompasses the most prestigious awards in college football. The 21 awards boast 678 years of tradition-selection excellence. Visit www.NCFAA.org to learn more about our story.

Ecobuildingpulse.com produced the above interview with Team Czech Republic architecture project manager, Martin Cenek.
Team Czech Republic, comprised of students from the Czech Technical University in Prague, won the Architecture contest—one of five juried sub-competitions—and took home third place overall in the 2013 U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon. The CTU team's entry, the Air House, was designed with the students' parents in mind as a prototype for empty-nesters relocating to the Czech countryside. Featuring an L-shaped dwelling beneath a larger wooden box, the Air House embodies Team Czech Republic's "holistic approach to everything," according to project manager Martin Cenek (interviewed above). "It's a simple house—a simple volume—wrapped in a second skin that gives it its image, and the second skin is the basis of its passive design."
Architecture Contest Results
4. Team Austria 91.0
The Air House's second skin is a wood exoskeleton with fixed louvers that shade the dwelling unit within enough that, even in sunny southern California, the Team Czech Republic students rarely had to turn on the house's cooling systems. Instead, simply opening oversized apertures allowed cross-ventilation to cool the interior naturally. The three judges for the Architecture contest responded positively to Team Czech Republic's house-within-a-house strategy. "Our biggest concern is how does that veil stand the test of time?" noted Richard N. Swett, FAIA, juror and CEO and founder of Climate Prosperity Enterprise Solutions. "But today it looks gorgeous, and what it does is create a dappling of the forest leaves, it's a wonderful environment, and under that you have this very elegant, very well-structured interior space that engages the outdoors and the indoors very nicely."

text: Was Sochi GPF really an Olympic "preview?" Was something wrong with the ice, btw?! Was there something in the water in Sochi?! It was like splatfest, stumblebum city, aside from a few really great highlights: Dai sp; D/W brilliance; V/M cool sexy hotness; Suzuki sp; Ashley sp and her fighting back in the fp after a hard fall -- there was nothing "entitled" about that final 3flip ... it was due to hard work and courage; Hanyu's adorable cuteness and his Pooh Bear; Orser's self-satisfied grins; Korpi's beauty and her smile; somber but stalwart and lovely Mao winning easily after having to withdraw during last year's GPF and losing her mother; MZ's obvious disappointment in the fp gap in marks between her star teams; and Zhulin's "cosmic sadness embodied." The overly high scoring in general simply did not reflect much of what was witnessed on the ice, IMHO. I'm wondering if ISU judges at Worlds will bring things back down a bit re scoring. Again, that's part of the problem tho': the unevenness in scoring from event to event. I sat there watching on television earlier yesterday afternoon and I began grumbling at the television set and the commentators (for a variety of reasons). For one thing, no matter how much I love Terry Gannon, the Olympics is NOT taking place "next year." Yep, that's right, fyi too Weiss and Lipinski! Where's Johnny Weir when he's needed? Johnny's commentary is so honest, refreshing and entertaining, but apparently he wants to be competitive again on the ice ... Good luck Johnny from the bottom of my heart. Of course, Weiss and Lipinski are good people and I've enjoyed their skating, but not so much their commentary, at least for this GP season – maybe because they're closed up in a studio with Gannon commenting on international events that already took place. Am I just being nostalgic I wonder? No, I definitely used to enjoy Michael's and Tara's skating back when it wasn't all about the jumps and frantic skating on one foot and endless spin revolutions. But ya know, perhaps it's just me and I need to see a psychiatrist for 'lack of enjoyment of figure skating' withdrawal symptoms. I mean ok, kudos to Fernandez for landing 3 quads in a program (one of them just barely), and kudos to Orser for helping him come back a bit from a disaster fp at NHK and missteps in GPF sp. But it's not as if 3 quads landed in a program hasn't occurred before. Timothy Goebel did it first, and didn't Joubert do it too? I mean ok, so what!? Is this quad skating or figure skating? It looked to me like Fernandez' marks made the rest of the guys tense up thinking they absolutely had to land 2 quads or bust! It just wasn't very enjoyable watching, aside from Chan's SS and earnest artistic efforts, some lovely moments in Kozuka's skating, and of course Dai's cool sp and his fight in the fp (but the Morozov hugging I can do without). I was interested to see if adorable Prince Hanyu was going to fade again in his fp, but it looks like Orser has finally helped him pace himself, or something. However, despite your adorable cuteness Yuzuru-san, all the frantic and overwrought shaking of arms and head while making fierce facial expressions does not mean you're artistic. Eh, where's Jeremy Abbott when he's needed?! Please show up healed, and bring it at Nats and Worlds Jeremy! Pretty please?

Kearse TD lifts Seahawks over Panthers
Russell Wilson finished 25-of-33 for 320 yards and that 43-yard strike to Kearse for the Seahawks (1-0), who finished 11-5 a season ago and lost in the second round to Atlanta.
Doug Baldwin totaled 91 yards on seven grabs, Marshawn Lynch led the ground attack with 43 yards on 17 carries and Steven Hauschka converted a pair of field goals in the victory.
Cam Newton was 16-of-23 for 125 yards and a touchdown, adding 38 yards on five carries for the Panthers (0-1), who are looking to improve upon a 7-9 mark in 2012.
Steve Smith ended with 51 yards on six receptions, while DeAngelo Williams recorded 76 yards on 16 attempts, but coughed up the ball on a key late possession.
Seattle picked up the first points of the final quarter, as Kearse made a leaping grab of a Wilson heave and fell into the end zone for a 43-yard score. The conversion pass was incomplete and it was 12-7 for the visitors with 10:13 to play.
Carolina neared the red zone with 5:25 remaining, but on a 2nd-and-2 from the Seattle 24-yard line, Earl Thomas' hit pried the ball loose from Williams after a gain of 16 yards and Tony McDaniel recovered at the Seahawks' 8-yard line.
Wilson led his club 56 yards to the Carolina 36 just ahead of the two-minute warning, then took a knee on three consecutive downs to whittle away what remained of the clock.
Hauschka was true from 22 yards away and Seattle hit the scoreboard with 9:36 to play in the first half. It capped a methodical 74-yard, 15-play drive which began late in a scoreless opening quarter.
Carolina responded on its next possession, taking a 7-3 lead as Newton found Smith from three yards out to cap an 80-yard, 11-play series.
The Seahawks advanced deep in Carolina territory inside the final minute of the half, but Wilson was sacked by Charles Johnson, who recovered the ball at his own 19.
Seattle crept within 7-6 as 2:22 remained on the third-quarter clock, after Hauschka made a 40-yard attempt to finish off his club's third series of the second half.
Game Notes
Seattle has won five of seven all-time meetings against Carolina, splitting four matchups in Charlotte ... Smith extended his franchise-record streak to 92 straight games with at least one reception ... Golden Tate ended with 51 yards on four catches for Seattle, while Greg Olsen led Carolina receivers with 56 yards on five grabs ... The Seahawks outgained the Panthers by a 370-243 margin.

So my girlfriend sees this rust bucket Porsche in a gravel parking lot on her way down Lincoln one day. She tells me about it, and instantly I'm imagining a long hood version of our buddy Mike Burroughs' mean, rusty E28. I call Jim Bauer and, within milliseconds, he's ready to make an offer. He's got visions of a non-operating early body (69-73) to restore, or at least scrap body panels from. Both of our dreams were smashed upon arrival at the gravel lot. No motor, hence the SUV ride height. The interior looks like a mini garbage dump. And there's just enough body damage and terminal rust on each panel to make it not worth the effort. But somehow, especially sitting in between a Jeep Cherokee and Honda Fit, this Porsche is still a gorgeous sight.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
if you are willing to let this be a long term project then it can happen, just don't think this will happen overnight, unless you do have loot like that. it took me about 3yrs to get my camaro set up, and for the last year i was building my motor. luckly i was in the military making pretty decent money, along with my wife who makes pretty decent money, i was able to save quite a bit of money each month to put towards this project. you have to remember that eveyone has an opinion, and not all of us will agree that opinion, so on sometimes there is bound to be some bickering.
my advice would be to find another 400 or 350 block (if you would be willing to build a 383) and start working with that. take your time with it to make sure you research everything, and the different part manufacuters. dont skimp out on quality stuff just to save 100.00, cause more often than not the end result will end up costing you more than 100.00 when you have to fix what went wrong. do it right the first time.
No offence taken at all. Alright, I realize I'm 19, and never built an engine. I suppose using "a little extra cash" wasn't the best choice in words. I didn't realize everyone was going to use it quite so literal. I wasn't ever meaning I'd build a 406 on 600 bucks or anything. The reason I had started this thread was so I had the ability to ask questions, get feedback and have suggestions made. The first few had all said that it'd take more then a little bit of money to prepare the rest of the car rather then just focusing on the motor. I've come to the understanding that it's going to take some serious cash to build 500hp. Hence the reason I'm looking for another 400. I don't want to have my car parked to build an engine would I could keep it running and prepare another engine to go in to replace it. There is a guy that owns a performance shop in the city that is very reputable and willing to help and give advice when it comes to cars. I'll be making most of my big purchases off of him.
I don't want to offend anyone or have any "fights" over the internet. But I'd prefer if this thread could stay just about laying out suggestions and having questions answered rather then getting to be at all personal.
Thanks guys. Everything that's been put up here has been able to help me better understand something I'd like to do for the first time. I hope that I'll be able to do a few motors and give advice in places I have experience and success.
|Ok, no offence to the OP or anyone..........the guy is 19, he is going to build his first engine.....a 406 when he says he "has a little extra cash". Do you really think he knows what it takes to build a 500 hp engine? He doesn't have the money to build 500 horses let alone buy a Dart block. He found a complete 511 block that will most likely need machine work.....mag, bore, hone and deck, if he's lucky that's all it will need. Get the crank 10-10'd, along with all the other parts? ....$$$$$$$$$ Last time I looked a Dart bare block was $1500.
" I'm thinking around 500HP would be a great weekend street/strip car."
By the time you find a decent OEM block and have it machined the way you want it, you could have bought a Dart SHP block or even a GMPP block. Both of which would give you more options down the road.
He said it's going to be a street motor, doesn't need a Dart block for what he's looking for. Yes, the 511 block will be just fine......after you have it checked at the machine shop. ARP doesn't make main caps, they make bolts only.
If you use the ARP main bolts or studs you will have to have the main bearing saddles align honed because the ARP fasteners create more clamping force to reach "bolt stretch" or the proper "torque value" for that specific bolt/stud. This basically warps or distorts the main cap which requires them to be align honed to make them round again and bring them back into tolerance. For a street motor you could re-use the stock bolts if you're going to keep the power reasonable.....me, I use the studs and align hone, then you can do anything you want.
|I think you'd be better off using a DART SHP block instead of the OEM block. The DART blocks are stronger, have better cooling, primary oiling of the mains, blind water jacket head bolt holes, and 4 bolt mains.
400 4 bolt main?
So I've posted an ad in my city looking to see if I can find another 400 block that will be usable for a 406 build. I've got a reply from someone with a block that still has the original heads, cam, intake and rotating assembly. It apparently has been sitting in warm, dry storage for 20+ years. The casting number is 3951511. When I look it up it shows, 70-73 4 bolt main. I know it's been said that the 4 bolt mains are weaker. Seeing how I'd like to build a street motor with limited strip use. Would this be suffice? Would putting ARP main caps on it make a difference at all? Or would it just be in my best interest to stick with a 2 bolt doing the ARP mains?
Awesome guys, this is really great! It's totally starting to make sense. Everything I've been reading about boring, honing and decking tries to explain so much at once it gets overwhelming. I know my block is a 2 bolt main, and finding 4 bolts is almost impossible to find. I found main caps for 70 bucks on summit to convert my 2 bolt to a 4 bolt. Shouldn't be too bad to have done then!
Thanks everyone!
wow i completely forgot about them, i gues they just are seen that much anymore, but of coarse even finding a 400 block today can be a feat.
|Just to clarify, the '70-'71 or maybe even '72 400 sbc had 4 bolt mains and as mentioned in many other posts and forums are known to be weaker than the 2 bolt. Like said above if you want a nearly bullet proof lower end have billet steel splayed 4 bolt main caps installed.

What to do with the block?
Yes, bore and hone to get you +.040".
You should strongly consider align honing your block. This ensures the main bearing caps/bores are perfectly in line and straight and centered under the cylinder bores. This is not really a big deal for 400-ish HP engines, but as desired power levels increase this becomes necessary.
Decking is taking material off the top of the block (where the heads sit). If you just tell the machine shop, "oh yeah, deck the block too" they will probably just take .010" off to ensure the surface is nice and flat. Most of the guys here like to get the block to what is called "zero deck". In other words the pistons at TDC come up exactly to the deck (they are not down in the hole or coming out of the top). From there you chose the proper head gasket to achieve 2 things: (a) desired compression ratio (b) proper squish and quench (aim for around .040-.045").
To get the block at zero deck height takes extra time (read MONEY) by the machinist as he will have to assemble the short block and take measurements at cylinders 1,2,7 and 8 (aka each corner) to figure out how much material to cut. The added benefit here is that now you get a flat surface AND a straight/level surface (where as blindly milling off .010" is flat, but is it even with the bore of the mains? This leads to some cylinders with higher or lower compression ratios).
Keep in mind that if you get your crank reground and polished it probably won't be exactly 3.75" stroke. Also if you recondition your rods they are also likely to not be 5.565" in length. So again, all the more reason why the machinist must take the effort to assemble the shortblock to take measurements.
GM knew a thing or two about squish. Engines left the factory with around .040-.046" squish (.025" deck clearance + .015-.021" head gasket). There is a ton of articles about this topic, so I will let you google that. Here are some numbers though.
Deck clearance = Block Height - Reciprocating Height
Stock block height of a SBC is 9.025" (measured from center of main bearing to deck)
To get total height of your rotating assembly (measured from center of main bearing to top of piston -> does not include dish/dome):
Reciprocating Height = Crank Stroke Radius + Rod Length + Compression Height of Piston
Here are some examples:
350SBC Example:
Crank Stroke Radius: 3.48" / 2 = 1.74"
Rod Length: 5.7"
Compression Height of Piston: 1.560" (rebuilder special pistons are often 1.540" to allow more leeway for decking and head gasket selection)
1.74" + 5.7" + 1.560" = 9.000" Reciprocating Height
9.025" - 9.000" = .025" deck clearance
400SBC Example:
Crank Stroke Radius: 3.75" / 2 = 1.875"
Rod Length: 5.565"
Compression Height of Piston: 1.560" (rebuilder special pistons are often 1.540" to allow more leeway for decking and head gasket selection)
1.875" + 5.565" + 1.560" = 9.000" Reciprocating Height
9.025" - 9.000" = .025" deck clearance
When you take your block in to have this done, the machinest will pretty much tell you what you will need to have done to it. Boring is just that, you are boring out the cylinders to cut away any grooves or imperfections in the cylinder walls. Honing puts a cross-hatched rough surface on the cylinder walls to help the piston rings break in (kinda like you scuff a surface before you paint it to help it adhere). Decking is where the top side of the block is shaved down because it levels the surface back out plus gives a perfect surface for a new set of head gaskets to seal to.
Since 400 blocks don't come in 4bolt, they only came from the factory with 2bolt mains, I would buy a set of aftermarket 400 splayed 4bolt mains and then when you have your machinest do yor work they can also drill and tap the holes for the splayed main caps.
Alright guys, I'll make sure to beware of the extra costs that come along and try not to get too ahead of myself, Lol. And I'll definitely have to get a dyno done. There aren't a whole lot of shops around here that are reputable for high performance applications.
I'm thinking of picking up a second 400 block that I can have all the machining done. Try to get that ready, rather then take my engine out and not be able to drive it while I'm building an engine.
When I take it to have it machined, what do I need to have done exactly? This is one place I can't quite understand. I know it's going to need to be bored, honed and decked. Is this all that needs to be done? How do I know what specs I need to have everything done to? I believe I understand boring. But I'm not totally sure about decking. Is there anyone that can dumb this down a bit for me?
Thanks everyone. The knowledge is always appreciated!
|X2 on what 327NUT said, i didn't think i would end up spending that kind of money on mine. and to give you an idea on how much i spent on my dyno-test & tune = $880.00 but that was for all day, they played with the tuning and ran it about 10 times. but it was well worth it since i'm sure me tuning it in my back garage i wouldn't have gotten those numbers.
All good info, also be careful not to get caught up in the horse power numbers. A 500 hp streeter is a lot of hp and as said costs a LOT of money for the engine and drive train. You are very wise to plan your engine build ahead of time, a lot of guy's don't do that and they end up with a bunch of parts that just won't work together.
The best advice I can give you is to build the best STREETABLE engine suited for your application with the budget you have....and be happy with whatever horse power level you achieve. Of course you won't know that until it's dyno'd, there's another $500 or so. I'm sorry, I don't know the exact web site name but it's something like "Ryan's car page" you might google it, LOTS of builds on there with the dyno results....worth a look and enjoy the fun and satisfaction of building your own engine.

Charlottesville, Va. • Robert Anae leaned against a display case, wiped a little sweat from his brow and took a swig of diet soda a few days ago after practice before giving the go-ahead for questions.
"Fire away, guys," he said, seemingly as relaxed and at ease as he's been since football coach Bronco Mendenhall announced almost eight months ago that he was bringing back his former offensive coordinator to reprise the same role Anae had from 2005-10.
There was some symbolism in Anae's directive to reporters, however, because there might not be an assistant coach in all of college football as under the gun this season as the former BYU offensive lineman, re-hired to revive an offense that was once the benchmark for explosive football in the West, if not the country.
Anae's second stint this time he's armed with a rapid-fire attack he's referenced as "go hard, go fast " begins Saturday more than 2,000 miles away from Provo as the Cougars roll into Atlantic Coast Conference territory to test the Virginia Cavaliers.
The 1:30 p.m. MDT season-opener at historic Scott Stadium is expected to draw close to a sellout crowd of 60,000 and can be viewed nationally on ESPNU.
How will the Anae Era, Part II, begin?
Even BYU's coaches aren't totally sure.
Mendenhall and Anae both acknowledged there is uncertainty about their own team and their opponent, with so many new coaches at both BYU and Virginia.
"Usually you do your best when you are not playing hesitant, scared, so on and so forth," Anae said. "So that's what I am hoping. That's what I am preparing for, [in a] hostile environment. Prepare, and play your best, and as hard as you can, as long as you can."
And do it quickly.
It hasn't been a secret since early in spring camp that Anae's game plan calls for the Cougars and sophomore quarterback Taysom Hill to run off a play every 15-20 seconds, if they can.
"We are always trying to go faster, but my mentality is [such] that I don't want to jeopardize our execution," said Hill, who will be making his third career start (2-0), but first on the road. "I think there is a happy medium there. Let's go as fast as we can as long as we go through the right steps."
The Cougars are 6-2 in openers under Mendenhall, having won their last six lid-lifters, and most have been low-scoring defensive struggles. A similar tussle is expected in hot, humid Charlottesville.
"Oh, there is always uncertainty, just I am not sure how good they are. I am not sure how good we are," Mendenhall said. "Don't know what the matchups are like, so you prepare the best you can, and then hopefully our staff is capable of making whatever adjustments we need, based on what we see that are unexpected. And I think that's the same every year."
BYU's offense clicked the last time Anae was calling the plays, in a 52-24 romp over lowly UTEP in the 2010 New Mexico Bowl. But this one won't look anything like that one, when the less mobile, stronger-armed Jake Heaps was pulling the trigger.
Anae has asked for patience as he attempts to get the 2013 iteration up and running, often comparing what he's doing to running a marathon, and saying the Cougars are just getting out of the gates.
"It is kind of a hodgepodge of things," he said. "What you are going to see this season is kind of a new sort of deal. It has got elements from each coach on our staff. Each have contributed unbelievably. So it is like no other offense I have been a part of. That's all I can say about it."
Defensively, the Cougars could have their hands full with mobile Virginia quarterback David Watford, a sturdy serviceable running back, and some playmakers on the outside, defensive coordinator Nick Howell said.
"Our dudes are going to fight as hard as they can," Howell said. "Our defense is going to fly around as hard as they can. That's one thing for certain is the brand of football that our defense is going to play is going to be the same as it has always been, and we are excited."

Their PTSD is largely responsible for our national decline. Yes, PTSD is real.
Now we are a nation of weeping wimps, wheezing whiners, and weaseling wusses.
... Wow! I don't know how to respond to admiring a president who deprived tens of thousands of people of their land, against the ruling of the Supreme Court, defying the rule of law and the constitution and resulting in thousands of deaths of innocent people...
... we are turning out generations of kids who are suspended from school for making finger guns, and are taught "conflict resolution" rather than being allowed to knock the snot out of each other... it's no wonder that so many blow. they never learn to handle ...hurt feelings, and never get to fight.
, but dumb bullying down to the point where kids can't even tease each other...and never learn to take teasing.
... Never, ever.........ever........tell a "How many southerners......" joke. http://forum.beemaster.com/index.php/topic,34793.0.html
... King... I honestly do not see the relevance of your post.... I was hoping someone else would have chimed in, and perhaps I could [get]... a better idea.... I think [that] you [are] suggesting [that] I am associated with New York city...
... Saying "Oh how the mighty have fallen" while pointing at one problem, really does not make other problams go away....
I think you missed the point.You can say all you want about large city problems in the north, south, or about anywhere else.It does not apply to me. As I would expect me saying something about Atlanta really does not impact you.But boy oh boy...tell a "How many southerners" joke and you got grown men crying, as if I was attacking each and every one of them. The old "If the shoe fits...." probably indicates a far amount of truth, and thus personal agony over someone telling a joke. Or it at least makes it appear as such.Go ahead and bash the cities. Bash the northern ones especially. Attaching "northern" really does not bother me when pointing out "city" problems, poverty, etc. I'll help out if you want. It would not bother me if some of the cities would burn to the ground. Or is that not part of the story line? :-DSaying "Oh how the mighty have fallen" while pointing at one problem, really does not make other problams go away. It just creates the "You suck...no you suck....no YOU suck....Yo Mama!" back and forth dialog.But did you really consider up till just recently that northern cities were really that mighty to begin with. Most up here stopped thinking that about 50 years ago. ;)
Quote from: BjornBee on February 10, 2013, 01:41:12 PM... Saying "Oh how the mighty have fallen" while pointing at one problem, really does not make other problams go away.... I hoped that the phrase "Now the mighty has fallen" would bring on some degree of introspection and sole searching into the problems facing America. I guess I was mistaken. So sad, so sorry. :( :'(

text: Took the words out of my mouth. Anyone watching the game could see that Darko's man was missing shots versus Darko causing misses. Darko has had stellar defensive performances in the past, though. This just wasn't one of them. He was not impressive by any means. The Pistons didn't go inside because our guards were torching the imposing guards. Detroit took advantage of the mismatch. The real question to ask is why Darko wasn't able to gobble up more rebounds? During the time he was on the court, he was easily the biggest player on the floor and couldn't manage to pull more than 5 boards. He was outrebounded by Chauncey, Rip and Prince. Darko's inability to grab more boards when Howard was out of the game probably cost Orlando many potential possesions. The difference to be made in this game was not his handling of the bigs...who the Pistons didn't even really go to...but to dominate the boards when the Pistons went small. Or to dominate offensively with up against a smaller lineup. Being able to get away with putting Tay and Maxiel on Darko was a huge advantage for the Pistons and played a large part in the 4th quarter dominance. Knowing when to adjust your game to help the team is a skill great players learn. He isn't there now and personally I don't think he ever will be.

Hey gang,
Newbie here to the board but not to the lore. I was pointed in this direction by a well-known West Coast member < all names are non-disclosed for the safety and well-being of those involved ;) > HINT: This person has one of the finest Fett costumes to date.
I am creating a custom outfit that models the white McQuarrie proto-Fett look. I have much of it completed but I am wondering if anyone has ideas for the ear pieces to the helmet. I do have the range finder and stem. I will do the standard Boba/Jango style helmet look but am coming up short with the ear pieces that look good and work well. I am not opposed to custom made "non-license-infringement" resin pieces if there are any out there to be traded. I read the helmet etiquette bi-laws of this site and hope this comes through without question.
Please feel free to hit me with comment and/or answers off the board as well.
Thanks so much and props and kudos to all the great costumes and advice out there. It has and will be very enlightening.


text: First, a little background info. I'm currently completing a bachelors degree via a SUNY college(Empire State College,) my understanding though is the MoE in Taiwan generally won't issue work permits for degrees earned via schools that are primarily known as providers of distance education, which Empire State is pretty well known for. I do however have an associates degree from a SUNY Community College which doesn't do much in the way of distance learning, and my understanding is this paired with a TEFL/TESOL is sufficient for getting a work permit to teach at chain/cram schools in Taiwan. So, my question is, are any of the online TEFL/TESOL certs generally accepted by the MoE as valid for work permits? If not, does anyone know any providers of TEFL Certs in New York State that would be accepted?

Maybe it's regional, I don't know. I know I have talked to quite a few people over the phone this past 6 months looking to have bees removed. It's sad the number of people who would rather pay for a can of Raid instead of to have the bees kept alive.I am conservation minded. the thought of killing a perfectly good colony over the excuse of money is just not acceptable to me.As has been said before, to each their own.Big Bear
gaucho....good for you. Keep up the good work and providing a service to the community.I actually had an exterminator a few years back call me for a job. He wanted me to be his "Bee guy". It would work this way.....He took the job, charged 500 dollars, and then would subcontract with me to take the bees out of homes for 100. He figured since so many beekeepers were willing to do it for free, I should be happy with the hundred. I told him if there were so many beekeepers willing to do it for free, then why was he offering me 100 dollars. I think he's still looking for a "bee guy" .... :-D
I live in southern oklahoma. Our issue seems to be localized to certain areas, example; many predatory wasps around recreational cabins close to lakes but few to none around residences any more. With in last five years most bees and wasps have here have vanished, though some seem to be making a slow comeback.

Utah Bankruptcy Rate Improving, But Still High
Bankruptcy filings -- and home foreclosures -- are on a downward trend in Utah... a sign our economy is continuing to improve.
However, the Utah bankruptcy rate does still remain high, by national standards.
The American Bankruptcy Institute is reporting this week, Utah ranks sixth-highest among states, in per-capita filings.
But the percentage is down 12 percent from a year ago.

Thousands of people throughout the world, justifiably, went into the streets in protest against the over reaction by Israel armed forces to rocket attacks. Now, is the time for those same protestors to go into the streets and demand that Hamas cease stealing from the people of Gaza. The United Nations has halted further shipment of supplies into Gaza after Hamas police went into UN warehouses and took tons of material and food. They also intercepted trucks entering Gaza and took cargoes for their own use. UNRWA spokesperson, Chris Gunness, made clear, "there is enough for days, not weeks" and soon supplies will run out. At present, about 80% of Gazans depend on UN aid in order to survive.
Hamas has repeatedly acted as irresponsible as have Israeli leaders in placing their own interests in front of the needs of the people of Gaza. The continued firing of rockets by Hamas is merely another attempt to provoke an Israel attack on Gaza which allows Hamas t pose as "defenders of the people." Most probably, Hamas is taking UN supplies and distributing them under the mantle of "Hamas" in order to prove they alone are concerned about the people.
The solution is simple. President Abbas must be allowed to resume control of Gaza, an international force, it could well be Turkish in composition, should assume control of all crossings and supplies should be sent in.

Just got my MoW pack back and it looks great.
I'm too nervous to display it on my mannequin, so I was wondering if anyone has created or improvised something that works as a simple stand that the pack can go on to sit it on the floor so it's not just leaning against the wall.
I'm almost wanting something like an oversized version of those wire easels that they sell at Hobby Lobby that you put decorative plates on, something like that.
Any thoughts, links or tips?

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by Omaha Piston, Mar 4, 2009.
....and my eloquent way of cashing in on one's mistakes...hahhahaha
you say tom-ay-to i say tom-ah-to you say bad typing i say freudian slip
Unfortunately for me my husband agrees with you. He said bad typing would have been husbanf or husbans.........he says that the d and the k on the typing keyboard are four letters apart and you type them with different hands. He says he is a "husbank" and he does not have a problem with it. I told him you are not a husbank, but it is okay if you want to be. With that solved, we were in Queens Center Mall all morning.
Let's wait to judge A.I.'s coping skills | Freep.com | Detroit Free Press
Yea thats it...AI will think he fits better with the bench players
i dont understand when ai come off the bench he will still playing with the starter curry not going to sit he"s five starter so r they going to stand around or r they going to hustle they didnt want to play with a superstar they style of basketball is dead there 4 wins without ai is nothing because they always beat magic and denver and kg didnt play golden state have no one but ai had 7 wins without rip and sheed so people who really the problem here?
playing style.
AI told to pony-up FOX Sports on MSN - NBA - Iverson must pay $260K for not stopping bar fight
Thats the dumbest thing I've ever heard...why should he stop the fight?? Isn't that the point of having a bodyguard? If something physical goes down that celeb doesn't have to get involved so the bodyguard can handle it.. I've been in enough fights and see enough to know that many times the game trying to stop the fight ends up getting attacked right along with the people actually in the fight.. "Godfrey suffered a concussion, a ruptured eardrum, a burst blood vessel in his eye, a torn rotator cuff, cuts and bruises, and emotional injuries" Wow he really got messed up lol, but seriously you have to be dumb to try start crap with celebs bodyguards ne ways, because they're usually like 6'7 315, and since they're a bodyguard you know that can fight. The bodyguards I know are pretty much looking for any excuse to fight too lol..
That's like 1 playoff game for AI the warrior. As long as Godfrey didn't tweak his back, he should be fine.
Are they sure AI didn't try to help the guy, it sounds his defense of the bar patron is similar to the D he plays in his games?
Looks like all of you internet tough guys who talk junk about AI are on notice. You ever try this "can't defend", "drinks too much Cristal", "I am a VIP too" , "low eFG" stuff in person, you're gunna get mangled by pit bulls. Easy to talk tough on the internet. I know. I've been doing it since 2003.
At least Chuck didn't whip out a gun and shoot himself in the leg.
Think about this. If dude had a knife, it would have barely been a news story.
The point is, that the bodyguard attacked the dude because he didn't "make way" for AI. Yeah, there's no point in trying to stop the fight once it began, but it never had happen in the first place. *If* the story is true as told, this is the sort of crap that creates the "gangster" image.
If I was an NBA baller, the LAST thing I'd do is hang at clubs. Don't get me wrong, I like to have a few top-shelf greyhounds or some Mickey's Big Mouths on the regular; But I'd like to think I'd be smart enough to stay away from a-holes that generally frequent bars/clubs. As much as it pains me to say it, TheBron James is a smart guy. He took the Navin R. Johnson approach and built a freaking nightclub right in his crib. He just invites his homies along with some sheilas over and boom - dude gets to party in a safe/controlled environment. It's a verrrrrrrry simple equation that celeb/athletes just don't get: Jackasses + booze(mass quantities) = legal hassles/PR problems - endorsements
I feel bad for the actor that had to portray the "urban knife weilding thug" stereotype opposite Croc Dundee in this scene.
When I first watched that movie, I was a teenager and I thought it was great. When I watched it years later I realized how stupid it was and hated it. Both times, I appreciated Linda Kozlowski in her swimsuit.
I don't know, if I were an NBA baller one of the first things I would probably do is hit the clubs at least for a little bit.
Didn't AI do time for partaking in a BS fight when he was in HS? I don't think I'd be too eager to break this thing up either if that's the case.

YEONGAM, South Korea (AP) -- Red Bull driver Mark Webber upstaged his teammate Sebastian Vettel by claiming pole position on Saturday for the Korean Grand Prix, outpacing the German and McLaren's Lewis Hamilton.
The Australian stormed to pole on the last lap of qualifying, finishing just 0.074 seconds ahead of Vettel. Hamilton was third followed by championship leader Fernando Alonso of Ferrari.
Lotus' Kimi Raikkonen qualified fifth, meaning the top five in the drivers' championship standings fill the top five grid slots, raising the prospects of a vital shootout in Sunday's race.
"I was happy with my lap there, it was solid and it's good to get pole," Webber said. "It's a great place to start the race from. I'm looking to get off the first corner very well, that's important as there are two long straights after that."
Vettel has won the past two races, in Singapore and Japan, and would overtake Alonso in the standings with a third consecutive win on Sunday. The German had dominated practice sessions and topped the times in the first two sessions of qualifying, but when it mattered, he could not match the time set by his teammate.
"On the last run, I had to back off starting the lap as (Felipe) Massa was there, it wasn't his fault, but I had to back off," Vettel said. "Nevertheless, the second lap in Q3 wasn't good enough."
Webber, who recorded only his second pole of the season after Monaco, improved his lap time by a half a second on his final run.
Vettel can take some comfort in the fact that neither pole-sitter in the first two editions of the Korean Grand Prix had gone on to win on Sunday.
It was an encouraging result for Hamilton who almost failed to advance to the second session of qualifying, making it through by just a quarter of a second. The Briton said he expects it will be a challenge to overtake the Red Bulls on Sunday.
"It will be very tough to get ahead of them but we've put ourselves in as good a position as we could," Hamilton said. "It was very tough this weekend. These guys have clearly made quite a big step within the last two races so we've just got to keep pushing."
McLaren driver Jenson Button made an error and then was forced to slow for a late yellow flag in the second qualifying session and finished a disappointing 11th.
Raikkonen, who is third in the standings despite not having won a race in his comeback season, qualified fifth, ahead of Ferrari's Felipe Massa.
Lotus' Romain Grosjean was seventh ahead of Force India's Nico Hulkenberg. The Mercedes duo of Nico Rosberg and Michael Schumacher were ninth and tenth respectively.

On May 21, head coach Kevin Borseth completed his staff by announcing the hiring of John Barnes as Associate Head Coach for Green Bay.
"I have known John for over 15 years and throughout our careers we discussed him joining my staff on a number of occasions," Borseth said. "John understands the type of student-athlete we are looking for and is very familiar with the style of play that has been consistent with Green Bay's success."
Barnes spent the 2011-12 season as Borseth's assistant at University of Michigan, helping guide the Wolverines to its NCAA Tournament appearance and 20-12 record while compiling the program's fourth 20-win season. Barnes was also an assistant at University of Wisconsin from 2010-11 where his duties included focusing on offensive efficiency, recruiting, player development and scouting.
"I'm extremely excited to have the opportunity to work for a nationally respected program like Green Bay," Barnes said. "Kevin has helped build the success of Green Bay and I'm looking forward to continuing to work with such a knowledgeable and well-respected coach."
Prior to his assistant duties in the Big Ten, Barnes was Borseth's predecessor as the head coach at Michigan Tech University from 2003-10. While at Michigan Tech, Barnes led his team to winning records every season, compiling an overall record of 156-55 while leading the Huskies to the NCAA Division II Championship five times. In addition, Barnes led his team to back-to-back Elite Eight appearances (2009 and 2010) and was named the GLIAC Coach of the Year three times in addition to earning WBCA Regional Coach of the Year honors in 2010.
"John's experience and success at Michigan Tech and his knowledge gained as a head coach there will serve him well as we work together to continue building the program at Green Bay," said Borseth.
The Escanaba, Mich. native was a member of the Michigan Tech men's basketball team from 1991-95, earning a spot on the GLIAC All-Defensive Team his senior year. Following his collegiate career, Barnes played for the Kolding Basketball Club in Denmark in addition to serving as the head coach for St. Nicolai, a men's travel team in Denmark.

Bob Bixby, the executive director of the Concord Coalition, also warned against fiscal complacency.
"A lower deficit is good news but hardly the end of the story. For the most part, it reflects a recovering economy and other factors that do not affect the long-term structural mismatch between spending and revenues," Bixby said in a statement.

AMES, Iowa — Homeowners know a well maintained lawn is an integral part of an attractive home landscape. Iowa State University Extension and Outreach horticulturalists share mechanical and chemical measures that can be undertaken to remove or destroy broadleaf weeds when they invade lawns. To have additional plant and garden questions answered, contact the ISU Hortline at 515-294-3108 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Fall (mid-September to early November) is the best time to control perennial broadleaf weeds in the lawn with broadleaf herbicides. In fall, perennial broadleaf weeds are transporting food (carbohydrates) from their foliage to their roots in preparation for winter. Broadleaf herbicides applied in fall will be absorbed by the broadleaf weed's foliage and transported to the roots along with the carbohydrates, resulting in the destruction of the broadleaf weeds. Spring applications are generally less effective than fall applications.
Effective broadleaf herbicides include 2,4-D, MCPP, MCPA, dicamba, triclopyr, and others. The most effective broadleaf herbicide products contain a mixture of two or three herbicides as no single compound will control all broadleaf weeds. Broadleaf herbicides can be applied as liquids or granules. Before applying any herbicide, carefully read and follow label directions.
Broadleaf herbicides can be applied as liquids or granules. Before applying any herbicide, carefully read and follow label directions. When applying liquid formulations, potential spray drift problems can be avoided by following simple precautions. Don't spray when winds exceed 5 miles per hour. Also, don't spray when temperatures are forecast to exceed 85 degrees Fahrenheit within 24 hours of the application. Since coarse droplets are less likely to drift than fine sprays, select nozzles that produce coarse droplets and use low sprayer pressure when applying liquid broadleaf herbicides. When spraying, keep the nozzle close to the ground. If only a few areas in the lawn have broadleaf weed problems, spot treat these areas rather than spraying the entire lawn. Apply just enough material to wet the leaf surfaces.
Granular broadleaf herbicides are often combined with fertilizers. Apply granular broadleaf herbicides and fertilizer/broadleaf herbicide combinations when the weed foliage is wet. Broadleaf herbicides are absorbed by the weed's foliage, not its roots. To be effective, the granules must stick to the weeds and the herbicide absorbed by the weed's foliage. Apply granular products in the early morning when the foliage is wet with dew or irrigate the lawn prior to the application.
To insure adequate leaf surface and herbicide absorption, don't mow the lawn two or three days before treatment. After treatment, allow three or four days to pass before mowing. This allows sufficient time for the broadleaf weeds to absorb the herbicide and translocate it to their roots. To prevent the broadleaf herbicide from being washed off the plant's foliage, apply these materials when no rain is forecast for 24 hours. Also, don't irrigate treated lawns within 24 hours of the application.
Ground ivy ("creeping Charlie") in lawns can be controlled with broadleaf herbicides. Products that contain 2,4-D or triclopyr are most effective. 2,4-D is an active ingredient in many broadleaf herbicide products. Triclopyr can be found in Ortho Weed-B-Gon Chickweed, Clover, and Oxalis Killer for Lawns and several other products. In Iowa, herbicide applications should be made between mid-September and the first of November. Two applications are necessary to effectively control ground ivy. The first application should be made in mid to late September, the second a month later.

text: I will add this: Daye played a ton of solid, solid, defense, using that height and length of his to full advantage. It really helped shore up our perimeter D in that 4th quarter. And Tay was challenging shots full force all game long. Bravery award has to go to Daye for making that 2 that put us up one after having missed a couple of shots. And Kudos to Kuester for leaving Daye out there to the end.

A couple of weeks ago, it seemed like everybody's heart was a-flutter for Twitter,
the social-networking application that lets you share brief status
report messages with your fellow Twits – stuff like "currently grooming
my nose hair" or "OMG this enchilada has a band-aid in it". Then, last
week, the anti-Twitter backlash set in. Today begins the
anti-anti-Twitter-backlash backlash, because once people find out that
Woot has its very own official Twitter-bot, they won't be able to
resist it.
That's right: you can sign up for a free Twitter account, make Woot
your Twitter friend, and receive automatic updates when we put a new
product up, when the daily product sells out, or when anything else
happens around here. Twitter updates are available through your IM
client or as text messages on your phone, along with the standard
web-based Twitter interface. Unlike other Woot watchers (which we also
love), Twitter is a one-stop way to keep up with us and your "real"
friends at the same time. And unlike our own SMS service through SayNow (again, much love), Twitter will be regularly updated during Woot-Offs.
you should know that Twitter's sudden, unexpected popularity surge has
strained their servers. Hey, we know the feeling. We've been told that
they're working to speed things up, and we can tell: today it's
definitely faster than yesterday. Fortunately for us, the heaviest
loads seem to come mostly during the day, while our most important
messages go out at midnight. So it's not much skin off our collective
We have to thank a loyal and industrious Woot member, Jesse Newland, for starting this Twitter bot all on his own, and then
passing it off to us. Kudos to you and yours, sir! We don't know if any
other online store has been so rash as to leap onto the Twitter
bandwagon just yet. We're not entirely certain that it makes any sense
for us to do it. But let it never be said that Woot passed up any
opportunity to insinuate ourselves deeper and deeper into your life.
Perhaps a bit of foreshadowing for an upcoming woot-off?
awesome tool though, thanks guys

I am an idiot.......<- it's already a woot-off!
BenrobNU wrote:Perhaps a bit of foreshadowing for an upcoming woot-off?
Like the current one?
The Woot-off seems to have broken it. There hasn't been a Twitter update since the Polaroid camera (5 hours ago)
The early notifications were murder via SMS though, as it was sending them for launch, sell-out, and various percentages throughout the item. Much better now with just the launch alert. (If they start back up again that is...)
Edit: The current projector (7:07 CDT) showed up. Hopefully that means people are awake now and watching things operate.
me thinks someone is using woot to test their service. It looks like the test didn't go so well....
Y'know, there's a Firefox add-on called WootWatcher...it makes the current Woot item show up in your status bar, and if it's a woot-off it shows you what percentage of the item is remaining. It's nifty and not-broken as long as you have the most current version of Firefox (2.0+). O'course, you still have to look at your computer tho.
And wow, the update is quick, the percentage has changed just since I wrote this quick message.
Thanks so much for doing this -- I just got roped into Twitter myself. Woot's Twitter feed seems to be out of date; their last update suggests the Samsung UMPC is still up. Gotta keep retrying in the middle of the day while the servers are extremely overloaded!
you guys do realize that the text messages are from a foreign country therefore incurring international fees
it would be a great thing to try but i dont wanna pay the international fees
moorerandall wrote:you guys do realize that the text messages are from a foreign country therefore incurring international fees

From Twitter's FAQ:
Twitter is in the United States...what if I'm not?
We have international numbers for people outside of the US. If you're in the United Kingdom (UK) or most places in and around the European Union (EU) you can use: +44 7781 488126. This is our main international number currently, but if you'd like to see a local number for your area, Write us and let us know!
Text Messages? Sounds expensive. How much will it cost me?
Twitter is free; we don't charge you a dime.
How will Twitter affect my phone bill?
It depends on your phone plan. Some people pay a per-message charge of ten cents or more. Some people have an allotted number of text messages monthly. Some (lucky!) people have unlimited text plans.
Um... the bot's broken.
No updates for a looong time now.
I thought this would be awesome, having an SMS message for each update... so I can actually cook, eat, sleep, (even WORK!), etc. during a woot-off.
Please fix it... this really is a great idea! :^)
You are the reason people make fun of woot forums members.
So, when are you guys going to get back to using the twitter accounts? Did the guy who had the password to the accounts go on vacation or something?

Thanks for pointing that out, we will fix it today.

Thanks! I see the Twitter accounts are back to giving updates.
Someone seems to have turned off the twittering again...
Please use a separate Twitter account for kids.woot.com
I was using Twitter to follow the last woot-off, and I had to shut it off because it was such a pain to weed out all the kids.woot deals while both sites were wooting off.
Seriously, I want to follow woot, not kids.woot. I should be able to follow one without having to follow both.
Does anyone else feel that way?
No Twitter updates in a week. What up with that?

No doubt, Trout defeats Cotto
By Mariano A. Agmi and Kurt Wolfheimer at ringside
Photos: Ed Mulholland
Undefeated WBA super welterweight world champion Austin Trout (26-0, 14 KOs) retained his title with a twelve round unanimous decision over three-division world champion Miguel Cotto (37-4, 30 KOs) on Saturday night at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Both fighters had their moments with Trout shading many close rounds. Trout clearly finished stronger. Scores were 117-111, 117-111, 119-109. After the fight, Cotto said he would "probably" fight again. He was slated to face Canelo Alvarez in May, but Trout stated he now wants the unification showdown with Canelo.
Unbeaten featherweight Jayson Velez (20-0, 15 KOs) annihilated Salvador Sanchez II (30-5-3, 18 KOs) in a fight for the vacant WBC silver featherweight title. Velez landed almost at will as he dropped Sanchez II in round two and again in round three. The bout was waved off by referee Harvey Dock moments later. Time was :38 of round three. Sanchez II is the nephew of Mexican ring legend Salvador Sanchez. Next up for Velez is a clash with WBC champion Daniel Ponce de Leon.
Middleweight Danny "Miracle Man" Jacobs (24-1, 21 KOs) won by TKO when Chris "The Irish Ghost" Fitzpatrick (15-3, 6 KOs) didn't come out for round six. Jacobs battered Fitzpatrick in the fifth round.
Junior middleweight Jorge Melendez (25-2-1, 24 KOs) of Manati, Puerto Rico, punished overmatched opponent James Winchester (15-7, 5 KOs) for four rounds, dropping the Greensboro, NC native in rounds two and three and teeing off on Winchester against the ropes in round four until referee Ricky Gonzalez halted the bout at 0:54 of the round.
Puerto Rican lightweight prospect Jeffrey Fontanez improved to 9-0 (8) with a spectacular second round TKO over Pedro Arcos (12-3-1, 9 KOs) of Tijuana, Mexico. A sneaky left hook dropped Arcos in round one. Fontanez knocked Arcos down again in round two with a big right hand, and a follow-up left hook left the Mexican on one knee with his right hand hanging over the bottom rope. Referee Tony Chiarantano immediately halted the bout at 1:23 of round two.
As most showdowns go between Mexicans and Puerto Ricans, Michael Perez and Fernando Carcano engaged in an all-out slugfest over 8 rounds in a lightweight contest that featured multiple knockdowns. Newark's Perez dropped Carcano with a big right hand in round one, and the Mexican native returned the favor in round two. The fighters continued trading big shots throughout the fight, with Perez getting the better of the exchanges. Perez (18-1-1, 10 KOs) left no doubt in the eighth and final round, as a left hook, right uppercut dropped Carcano (10-5, 7 KOs) again for an 8 count. Scores were 78-71 and 77-72 (2x).
New Brunswick's Jorge Diaz improved to 17-1 (10) with a 6 round unanimous decision win over tough Texan Victor Sanchez (3-6-1) in a fiercely contested featherweight bout. Diaz dropped Sanchez with a big right hand in round one, but Sanchez was able to weather the storm and make it a competitive fight for the remainder of the bout. Unfortunately his effort was not reflected by the judges scores of 60-53 (3x).
In a battle of undefeated junior middleweight prospects, Bronx native Eddie Gomez (12-0, 8 KOs) used superior speed and ring generalship to defeat Puerto Rican Luis Hernandez (9-1, 5 KOs). Without warning, referee Tony Chiarantano deducted a point from Gomez in the sixth and final round for a low blow that appeared to be unintentional.
In the opening bout of the evening, "The Apollo Kid" John Thompson (10-0, 3 KOs) won a 6 round unanimous decision over Eli "The Fly" Agustama (6-6, 3 KOs) in a middleweight contest. Newark's Thompson controlled the bout with his left jab, but he had to fight through exhaustion in round 6 to win the bout. Scores were 60-54 and 59-55 (2x).

Hey guys,
Wanted to share my BF helmet build. It is pepakura. I plan on making the ear pieces out of thick cardboard using the template on this site. Much easier for the smaller parts that pep become painstakingly hard to do. I will try and get better pics tonight.
