Most people that buy a G27 (or any Glock for that matter) plan to leave it like it is, and I would also bet most don't even know that a conversion is available when they make the purchase. I will buy a 9mm conversion for my G27 one of these days (if I don't get another Glock) just because it's cheaper to shoot and not as punishing. Also, some buy the conversions to be able to shoot led bullets.
Welocme to HGF!

ENjoy the new gun
While I've never owned a Sig, generally most guns lube the same. The rails on the frame. The outside of the barrel where it rubs the muzzle hole in the slide, and where the top of the barrel ribs the top of the slide.
The manual should give U topc on where to lube. Other manuals I own for other guns sometime show U a illustration showing where to lube.

I am so excited to start and knowing that I have such a great community to fall back on for help and guidance is gonna be a blessing. I received my Don Post Helmet in the mail this week and will be starting on that one for now. Well take care all I just wanted to introduce myself to the group. Happy Building Everyone!!!!!!

It's been awhile because I haven't had internet access since I moved (got Verizon FiOS now )
Anyway, I was able to finish my custom mando over the summer. It's pretty sweet looking, but unfortunately my camera is still dead (sent it to Nikon, they broke it even worse, and sent it back to us...). My question now is this...I want to make a sweet looking costume/armor whatever thing, but I don't want it to cost any more than $150, and nothing that involves melting plastic. It doesn't even have to be Star Wars, even though we all know Star Wars is the best. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

-Really? I can't seem to find it. I already have made a custom mando, I'm looking for another one to make.

Electronic Brake and Traction Control Module Replacement
Removal Procedure
Notice: To prevent equipment damage, never connect or disconnect the wiring harness connection from the EBCM with the ignition switch in the ON position.
Notice: Avoid getting water, brake fluid or engine coolant into the socket of the EBCM/EBTCM connector. Failure to observe this precaution could result in damage to the EBCM/EBTCM.
Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
Remove the cover from the relay center (1).
Remove the Engine Control Module (ECM) (2) from the relay center (1). Move the ECM harness to one side.
Remove the lower radiator hose from the engine only. Refer to Radiator Outlet Hose Replacement in Engine Cooling. Move the radiator hose to one side.
Pull out lock tab from the EBTCM harness connector (1).
Disconnect the EBTCM harness connector .
Disconnect the pump motor connector (3) at the bottom of the EBTCM.
Remove the six EBTCM to BPMV screws (2) and discard.
Separate the EBTCM (1) from the BPMV (5) by gently pulling apart until separated.
Important: Be careful not to damage seal. Do not pry apart using a tool.
Important: Care must be taken not to damage the solenoid valves when the EBTCM is removed from the BPMV.
Remove two wave springs (1) between the EBTCM and BPMV and discard.
Important: Note the location and the orientation of the wave springs in order to aid during installation.
Installation Procedure

Re: EBTCM Removal.... any tips.
Remove ecm and harness from box and bend out of the way. Remove box, I
believe two push in pins on the side and 10mm nut on bottom. Pull up on box and bend out of the way. Here is the part that makes it easy. Bend battery
tray corner up so you can get your arm and ratchet down there. I believe there is six 20 or 25 torque bit bolts.
Re: EBTCM Removal.... any tips.
We usually remove the battery and unhook the 3 large connectors next to the tray, remove the hose and then use combinations of extensions and swivels to get onto the bolts.
I think you can loosen the BPMV mounting screws and raise it up a little for better access also but I have ony done 2 of them so I don't remember the details.
Be sure to use a very tight fitting torx bit, one size too small and you could strip out the hole for the tool.

Re: EBTCM Removal.... any tips.
What are some signs of this thing on its way out the door? I have a 97 Catera that sometimes when pulling from a dead stop at an aggressive rate will create this shutter like slip in the transmission. Its not so agressive that its creating wheel spin, just a heavier than normal take off.
Re: EBTCM Removal.... any tips.
The loss of the speedometer and the CEL and possibly transmission lights coming on is what I see right away when this failure occurs.
Sounds like you might be looking at something else.

Re: EBTCM Removal.... any tips.
Can the car be driven while the EBTCM is removed? I want to send it to one of those rebuilders but need to drive the car for work.

Re: HELP WITH THIS BLEEPING EBTCM Removal.... any tips.
Ok, steps completed.
1. took out the ECM.
2. took out battery
3. took off three cylinders hooked to battery plate (in hopes to gain better access)
4. took off the b!tch radiator hose at the engine. (clip was turned side ways and could not get pliers around one side)
5. several bloody knuckles later and I am ready to scream. I have the lock pulled out of the ebtcm and now have two screws out. The other four are impossible and I am close to panic. I have to get these out before my husband gets home in two days and need some assistance. If I could get this battery plate out of the way I think I could reach the last four. I work in an office all day and I am not used to this. (long story short he bet me I couldn't do it. the $1300 I'll save by not going to the dealership goes to me if I can do it)
thanks for any assistance!

Re: HELP WITH THIS BLEEPING EBTCM Removal.... any tips.
As for the four lower screws...I had to use different combo's of extensionsions and universal joints for each screw, and it was still a pain. I think a flexable extension or a finger grip ratchet might be the way to go.
Re: EBTCM Removal.... any tips.
We recently bought a Catera and had the same problems... Our mechanic did say that if we drove it without fixing the problem it could case transmission problems. The EBTCM tells the transmission when to shift We had lots of error codes, no speedometer, tachometer, brakes were squirrely,etc. When our mechanic removed the EBTCM he noted that someone had already tried to do the repair work with the wrong year parts! We went ahead and ordered a salvaged ABS system online from a parts dealer (paid $150.00) and then took it all to the mechanic. We had the car back to us in one week from start to finish! The mechanic charged $240.00. All the error codes were fixed.
Re: EBTCM Removal.... any tips.
try unplugging the connector and driving the car, there'll be some codes and warning lights and you might find that speed is limited.
you'll have no abs, traction or stability systems.

Alexander Hamilton Bridge
The Alexander Hamilton Bridge carries I-95 traffic from the George Washington Bridge across the Harlem River (at 179th Street) to the notorious Cross Bronx Expressway. The bridge is supported by a single 555-foot steel arch that clears the river at 135 feet above mean high water. The bridge opened on January 15, 1963, the same day as the Cross Bronx Expressway
On my initial excursion, I was surprised to find a largely abandoned section of Highbridge Park between the Washington Bridge and the Alexander Hamilton Bridge that includes a spooky but festive red brick promenade with sensual curves that drug dealers love so much.
There is a stair and tunnel structure between the Alexander Hamilton Bridge that leads from Highbridge Park down to a narrow pathway on the West side of the Harlem River Drive. The structure is largely abandoned and obviously predates the Alexander Hamilton Bridge. It matches the architecture of a similar structure by the George Washington Bridge - perhaps part of the infrastructure built around the Washington Bridge when it was constructed in 1888.
The approaches to the Alexander Hamilton Bridge are a nightmarish maze of spaghetti viaducts. The brick and concrete arched approaches from the Southwest are especially interesting. The smell of campfires indicates refuge for a few homeless people. A gentlemen in fatigues approached me menacingly, but only asked for a cigarette (I don't smoke) and didn't seem too upset that I couldn't accomodate him.

Four peer tutors from the University of St. Thomas Tutorial Services Center, will advance to graduate schools this fall. The tutors, Sunita George, Eric Mabry, Michelle Rubin and Eduardo Mulanovich, join 323 undergraduates and 747 graduate students graduating during the 62nd Commencement Ceremony beginning at 10 a.m. on Saturday, May 12 at Reliant Arena, One Reliant Park.
Dr. Constantina Michalos, director of tutorial services, said the tutors help fellow students learn new concepts, assist non-native speakers in navigating cultural and linguistic differences and help others to adjust to learning differences.
"These tutors have strong academic backgrounds, and are clearly goal-oriented," Michalos said. "They are focused on their studies, participate in extra-curricular activities and often have off-campus jobs."
Sunita George
Following graduation, senior psychology major Sunita George is moving to Indianapolis, Indiana, to pursue a doctorate in clinical psychology this fall at the University of Indianapolis.
The daughter of UST faculty member Dr. Beena George, Sunita George is vice president of the Best Buddies club and was named to Who's Who Among American Students.
George tutored psychology and enjoyed seeing the light bulb turn on for students she tutored, including one who recently had a paper accepted at a conference.
"She told me she could not have made it this far without my help, and she asked me to be there when she presented this paper," Sunita said.
Eric Mabry
Eric Mabry is a philosophy graduate student who tutors in theology, and occasionally Latin and writing. He converted from Anglicanism to Roman Catholicism after his junior year at New Saint Andrews College in Idaho, and transferred to St. Thomas in 2008. Last May, he graduated summa cum laude with a bachelor's in philosophy and theology, as outstanding graduate in theology, and this May, he will graduate with his master's in philosophy. Mabry will enter a doctoral program in theology at Regis College at the University of Toronto in the fall.
"I believe that a thorough grounding in philosophy is essential to the pursuit of higher theological studies," Mabry said. "Good theologians need rigorous training in philosophy."
Mabry said his most memorable experiences have been conversations with religious and lay faculty, especially in the theology and philosophy departments.
"These faculty have spent countless hours in conversation with me, shared meals with me, instructed me and guided me," Mabry said. "They have shown me what it means to be true Magistri and have given me a vision for what a university ought to be."
Michelle Rubin
Senior biology major Michelle Rubin is originally from Calgary, Canada, and will attend Baylor College of Medicine to pursue a doctorate in cell and molecular biology. She tutors biology in the Tutorial Services Center because she is interested in becoming a professor and enjoys the excitement of students as they begin to understand new concepts.
In graduate school, Rubin wants to study aging.
"Cell and molecular biology – that's what governs how the body works," Rubin said. "Even if we cure cancer, everyone ages, and we can't find cures for Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases fast enough."
Rubin said her research experiences have helped her prepare for graduate school and her future dissertation work.
"My research experiences at the University of St. Thomas have taught me everything that I need to know – techniques in the lab and knowledge of biology and cell biology," Rubin said.
Eduardo Mulanovich
Senior bioinformatics major Eduardo Mulanovich also tutors biology, as well as physics. He is originally from Lima, Peru, and will attend medical school at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio, Texas, after graduation.
With the goal of becoming a doctor, Mulanovich believes bioinformatics is an important field to study.
"As medicine gets more personal, you start to get in to the genetics of the person," Mulanovich said. "I want to be ahead of what's going to happen in the future of medicine."
Mulanovich will also graduate with a minor in philosophy, and he was attracted to St. Thomas because of the University's mission to educate in faith and reason.
"I like being able to have a good background in philosophy, to understand future medical issues like abortion, euthanasia and genetic engineering," Mulanovich said.
Michalos said the tutors must not only be smart, they must be able to effectively communicate their knowledge to other students with patience and respect.
"In their capacity as tutors, they have helped innumerable students understand difficult material, complete assignments and achieve their academic goals," Michalos said. "In the process, they have achieved their own goals."

Portland, Maine–based Kaplan Thompson Architects made a splash in 2008 with a prefabricated, net-zero-energy dwelling called BrightBuilt Barn. Now Kaplan and Jesse Thompson, AIA, LEED AP, have gone a step further and launched BrightBuilt Home, a partnership with Oxford, Maine–based modular builder Keiser Homes that promises net-zero-capable houses at significantly lower prices than their site-built equivalents.
The nine BrightBuilt Home designs, which range from 720 to 2,800 square feet, combine Kaplan Thompson's building performance expertise with its keen eye for 19th century New England vernacular styles. Lessons learned from the firm's production-savvy partner result in construction times of four to six months and square-foot costs of $140 to $170.
Anticipating clients' yen for customization, BrightBuilt includes a number of redesign iterations in each house's base price. "If they're okay with the shape of the shell, then we'll move walls and windows around for them," Kaplan says. After fabrication, modules are assembled on site by a member of the company's preferred-builder network, which covers much of New England.
BrightBuilt has completed nine houses, with eight more under construction. Consumer interest has been so strong that the architects are exploring relationships with modular builders outside the Northeast. Kaplan says he has no plans to quit his day job, "but we hope to make BrightBuilt its own entity. We're playing it by ear, but based on the response so far, we're going to continue to grow with this."

If you despise math and the sight of an equation makes you physically ill, Professor Edward Burger of Baylor University and Williams College may be able to heal you during a talk at the University of Colorado Boulder on Thursday, March 15.
Burger's talk, titled "Zero to Infinity: Great Moments in the History of Numbers," will be held at 6 p.m. in the Mathematics Building room 100. The talk is free and open to the public and pizza and refreshments will be served afterward. Burger plans to answer a number of questions in his lecture, including whether humans are the only animals that can count, how the desire to count made it possible for William Shakespeare to write his plays, and whether negative numbers were invented to explain Burger's own checking account balance.
Burger, who is on the record as saying "no one in their right mind would ever go to a math talk," is not your run-of-the mill math educator. He has worked as a stand-up comedian, wrote jokes for Jay Leno in the late 1980s, starred in an episode of NBC's "Science of the Winter Olympics" in 2010 that won him a prestigious Telly Award, and most recently is being featured in "The Science of NHL Hockey" on NBC News.
"The talk is intended as whirlwind tour of the history of numbers and watch them grow from practical tools used by ancient shepherds to practical tools used to drive the digital age," said Burger, who was named was named Vice-Provost of Strategic Educational Initiatives at Baylor University in 2011. "If you love the humanities, sciences, social sciences, medical science, business, engineering or anything involving human thought, this talk is for you."
Burger is considered by many to be the nation's leader in math education. In 2006 Reader's Digest named him "America's Best Math Teacher." In 2010 he was named the winner of the Robert Foster Cherry Award for Great Teaching by Baylor University, an award that carried a $250,000 prize and is believed to be the largest and most prestigious award in higher education teaching in the nation across all disciplines.
In 2010 the Huffington Post named Burger as one of the world's 100 "Game-Changers," a list that included "innovators, visionaries, mavericks and leaders who are re-shaping their fields and changing the world." He also is an associate editor of the American Mathematical Monthly and of Math Horizons Magazine.
In a 2005 Boston Public Library lecture on topology -- the study of the properties of geometric figures or solids that remain unchanged during stretching or bending -- he demonstrated that it was possible to tie a six-foot rope snugly around his right ankle and then his left ankle, take off his pants, turn them inside out and put them back on without ever cutting the rope. He once had 600 beach balls poured from the balcony of a packed auditorium at Williams College in Williamstown, Mass. onto the heads of audience members to demonstrate a math principle.
Burger's deep passion for math is founded on the premise that it should be made lively, fun and educational. "The idea is to entertain and enlighten," he said. "My goal is get people to have fun thinking, have a better feeling about math, and to look at things in a slightly different way."
Burger is the author of more than 35 research articles, 12 books and 15 video series. He has delivered more than 400 lectures and appeared on more than 40 radio and TV programs, including ABC News Now and National Public Radio. He has been a visiting mathematics professor at CU-Boulder three times.
His upcoming book, "The 5 Elements of Effective Thinking," offers students, teachers, business people and life-long learners ways of being more creative and innovative. It is being published this summer by Princeton University Press.

There's been some Internet chatter indicating the BD530 is a holiday model, kind of how stores will receive specially packed products to sell just for Black Friday. There's no telling if the BD530 is this exactly as Sears and Walmarts are selling them, but I believe it is a very new player, so that's probably why there is no firmware upgrades for it (and why Googled reviews aren't plentiful). Is there a problem you noticed with the stock firmware that necessitates an update already? Just wondering. Thanks
We are on our second BD 530 from Walmart and are unable to get the thing to show constant image to the screen. We have called LG twice and downloaded all the firmware updates they told us to. It will not show a constant image, playing the movie for a bit then blank screen then show image then some time later a blank screen. All during this the audio is playing fine.
Any suggestions?
I concur. .ass sub removed and still no go. Hmmm... you ruled out bitrate then as my last file that wouldn't play was ~8500kbps. Maybe the profile? Would be jacked it was merely something meta and not the x264 video or AC3/DTS audio itself.
Would be nice if LG engineers would chime in eh? LOL.
What he probably means is that they don't need to do updates because their products don't suffer from the same defects as other manufacturers.
So, pray tell, which manufactures make Blu-ray players that never require firmware updates for any reason?
What he probably means is that they don't need to do updates because their products don't suffer from the same defects as other manufacturers.
While I love that LG continues to support their product and give it firmware updates, I wish they didn't have to do this so often because the firmware on their 2010 products is so buggy. I still cannot watch 'The Rock' on Blu-ray without the player freezing at the menu (only way to escape this is shutting off the player), and people are still having problems with new releases from September. I don't understand what's so hard about making the player just 'play' the damn Blu-rays. It's a Blu-ray player! Why does it take nearly a year of firmware updates just to make it stable (and it's still not stable, by the way)?
The .211C firmware for the LG BD550/570/590 player was flawless. Then they decided to add in things like MLB TV, Napster, and whatever else, and now so many Blu-rays have issues. They fixed most of the problems a couple of months back, but many new releases are still not playing without skipping. Now that the Collector's Edition for 'Avatar' came out, I imagine we will be getting another firmware update that fixes these playback issues as I imagine that disc will surely cause some.

text: The Leon County Commission is trying to pressure gun dealers into helping to implement a proposed gun control ordinance.Recently, commissioners were telling us there wasn't any action going on with regard to a proposed "gun show loophole" ordinance. In fact, some even claimed "there is no proposed ordinance at all." Some even suggested they simply wanted to receive our comments for discussion at the January commission meeting.Turns out, that isn't the full story. What they're really up to is trying to pressure gun dealers into implementing the gun control ordinance for them.

Voltaire, the 18th century French enlightenment thinker was outspoken in his opposition to censorship and restrictions of freedom, summed up by his famous pronouncement:
Sir, I do not agree with what you say but I will defend to the death for your right to say it.
This belief in free speech is the fundamental principle of liberal democracies - the paradox being that if everyone is free to make an unlettered idiot of themselves, society as a whole becomes more open to change which in turn propagates prosperity. In England for instance, you can say or write whatever you wish no matter how ludicrous, as long as it doesn't defame people, incite violence, hatred or deliberately mislead a person or group of people. These limitations of the principle are summed up by the well known American maxim: You can't shout 'fire' in a crowded theatre.
In the classroom it's healthy to encourage intellectual risk taking, no matter how absurd or extreme the opinions may be. When you pose questions or make statements to the class, ideally students should feel comfortable enough make fanciful conclusions, disagree with you, or express outlandish, even xenophobic ideas, as long as they do it in English. All the teacher needs to do in controversial situations is to turn the class as a whole into a barometer of common sense and good reason by postulating and questioning. In this way truth is redressed, while the teacher plays the role of a bystander and elicitor.
I believe teachers should avoid the temptation to dogmatise and we shouldn't censure people for what they say because the truth comes out in the wash through protracted dialectic. We don't need to force the issue or state the obvious when people can easily figure it out for themselves. Instead, the teacher's role is to ask, is that really true? How can we prove or contradict it? To quote another French philosopher, Claude Levi Strauss:
The wise man doesn't give the right answers, he poses the right questions.
Liberality in the classroom encompasses more than just debates; we should see people for who they are, not what we think they should be. It's up to responsible teachers to move away from single-minded cultural imperialism, i.e. this is the right way to think, this is what you should say and do, this is the way we think and you should too. Intellectual and cultural authority can be just as bad as unsophisticated students' naivety or immature beliefs.
Rather, students should express themselves the way they want and the only time we should draw the line and become judgemental is when students drift into Chinglish and use Chinglish without awareness of its incorrectness. Therefore in form and not content is where we should be conservatives in the classroom.

While there is no lack of information on what you need for the medical kit, no one seems to know how to procure such items. As we have found out, just telling your MD that you are going to be gone for a few years and you need some supplies is not an option. Any suggestions on how to go about this?
T. Lane and S. Martin
Reply from Bill Mahaffy:
You are absolutely correct that a local MD would not be inclined to donate his office supplies to a voyaging sailor. However there are a variety of services that will supply and re-supply the items for a medical kit. These are a-la-carte or you can order the kits prepackaged. These kits also come with a variety of prescription medications. At the most, you may need your personal MD to write some prescriptions for medications as I recommend that the drug list include items specific to you and your crew.
There are a number of companies that offer medical kits and other services. Here are two that I am aware off, and there are probably others. In Florida you can contact Yacht Safety Services at (954) 943-8853 or send an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com. You can also contact the Sunshine Medical Center at (954) 767-9999 or check out their Web site at http://www.marmed.com .
Another company called Medical Sea Pak offers a 4-level medical kit that appears to be fairly complete. Contact them at (800) 832-6054 for a local dealer or check out its website at http://www.firstaidpak. com. Finally, a company headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, called Medaire offers complete medical packs for the maritime environment. Contact them at (602) 452-4300 or see their website at http://www.medaire.com/ .
Keep in mind that these kits are not cheap but you will find that they are complete, well-packaged units that will be far easier (and probably less expensive) than buying all the items separately. In addition, check with each service to see if they can send you replacement items worldwide.

Here's the issue -
For the past 3 years I have been experimenting with students using Self-Assessment in my classes. For each course they get a % of their grade for Participation. I stopped giving this grade myself and decided to let students score themselves. I do this using a Self-Assessment rubrik or grid. I've had a lot of success with this, so much so that I now do it for all my classes. All my students score themselves for participation using the grids, mostly we do 3 self-assessment sessions over the semester, using the grids, and that adds up their total participation score. Here's an example of one of the grids:
Class Participation (10% of grade x3)
This score is derived from Self-Assessment. We will complete this 3 times for a total of 30%
To what extent do you agree with these statements? 1 = strongly disagree, 5 = strongly agree.
1 2 3 4 5
1) I try to engage with the tasks and work hard in class
2) I speak English as much as possible in class (about 80%)
3) I try hard to do homework and research outside of class
4) I communicate and cooperate with my classmates
5) Overall, I feel I am doing the best I can
This is a grid which was created by the students themselves and negotiated together. I'm really proud of this technique because I feel A) it is much more accurate than me giving each student a score, B) it motivates the students to maintain their participation over the course and keep their own goals, C) it obviously gives them more control over their learning and therefore autonomy and D) it's just pretty darn awesome IMHO. It makes the students feel trusted, respected. It has become a core part of what I do in class.
So, one of the things I do is to explain to the students that I won't interfere with their grade. This is their score. They decide it. The main issue I ever have is that students are too hard on themselves, so I tell them to be kind and realistic to themselves.
I've never had a problem with a student abusing this system in the 3 years I've been doing it. Until, you guessed it, this semester. That's why I am writing this post. Basically I have one student in a particular class who gave himself the highest possible score for participation (50, the class average was 42.25). He is often late and he's not one of the most 'participatory' students by a long shot. That's not so much an issue really. On his comments he wrote "this score is for my future participation". But, he's not been participating more, in fact he got worse. This class is now all reading a novel in English and I told them three weeks ago to buy the book and start reading it. They actually voted as a class to read this book. Of course, Mr 50 didn't have a book and had not started reading, meaning he could not participate in the class discussions. I was quite upset about this, since he gave himself a high score for participation I expect him to earn that score. Worse still, he was falling asleep in my class and I had to wake him up a few times!
So, I asked him very gently to speak to me after class. I was not threatening in my tone, although I am sure he was a little worried about being asked to speak to me after class. Anyway, who was the first student to leave class that day? Yes, it was Mr 50 who ran off before I could talk to him.
When I do finally catch up to him I'm not sure what to say. Here's the dilemma in a nutshell. It's not fair for him to get a high participation score when other more honest students are grading themselves lower even though I can see that they are working harder than Mr 50. However, I don't know what's going on in Mr 50's life and THAT is the whole reason I let them Self-Assess. But my feeling is that even if he's having a hard time outside of class then he should be making more effort than he currently is, since he assessed himself at 50 which is full marks. Should I make him change his grade? Should I go against the sacrosanct Self-Assessment rule I myself created in order to make it fair for the class? Oh, what to do! I've never had this issue before and it's causing me quite a bit of consternation.
Many thanks for your help and comments.

I Put My Life on the Line Writing This Article!
They really use that terminology as they lobby for "donning and doffing" rules that give them extra pay for the time they spend slipping into their government-supplied garments.
But the latest data from the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics once again show that these groups of government employees work in relatively safe professions, with firefighters having a lower death rate than the average American worker and barely edging out cashiers in terms of putting their lives on the line. Most cashiers are killed on the job because of homicides, whereas a quarter of firefighter deaths are from truck accidents and the numbers have declined, apparently, after concerted efforts to convince these heroes to buckle their seatbelts.

Hi all,
Yesterday was my birthday and my wife, who is very tolerant of my Star Wars obsession,
got me a couple of SW related gifts.
First, it's a Boba Fett wallet! This is a stock photo, but it's very cool and has plenty of
spaces for all my stuff.
She also got me this book. It's "Star Wars: Verily, A New Hope." It's SW written
in the style of William Shakespeare. I've only read a bit so far, but it's hilarious!
So it was a very Star Warsy birthday thanks to her.

Congo war's legacy follows survivor to NH
By DAVE SOLOMON
New Hampshire Union Leader | May 20. 2013 7:02PM
Coco Ramazani's life is the subject of the book "Tell This to My Mother." The Manchester woman, who escaped from a military camp in the Democratic Republic of Congo, is HIV-positive and wants to get her story out before she dies. (DAVID LANE/UNION LEADER)
It was an unbearable irony, to have escaped death in the cross-fire of a war that has raged for decades, only to be confronted with a fatal disease when happiness seemed within reach.
More than a decade of healing in America helped her regain her strength. The same courage and indomitable spirit that enabled her to endure life in the Democratic Republic of the Congo now enable her to take on a new challenge — raising American awareness of the tragedy in her homeland, where Rwanda, Uganda and Burundi have been fighting an on-again, off-again proxy war with Congolese rebels for control of resource-rich eastern regions since the 1990s.
Despite estimates of war dead that exceed 5 million, and more than 500,000 women raped, Americans have little awareness of the scope of what has been called the Great African War, with 15 years of intermittent conflict.
Ramazani believes sanctions on Uganda, Burundi and Rwanda could stop them from destroying another generation of Congolese women and children.
The title of the book is not directed at Ramazani's mother. She never knew her mother or her father. One of 21 siblings born to a man with five wives, and orphaned as a child, she was raised by a sister whom she thought was her mother until she reached adulthood.
She's not even sure how old she is. A slender, short, attractive woman who looks to be in her mid- to late-30s, she estimates her age at 42, which is what her passport says. "I was born in a small village," she said. "They didn't give birth certificates."
She had come to know the boy, whom she estimated to be in his early teens, during the months she was serving as an aide to the spokesman for Ugandan-backed Ernest Wamba dia Wamba, a commander of a rebel group during the Second Congo War.
"We didn't even have a chance to get him to the hospital," she said. "He was screaming, dying, calling for his mother. That's what really triggered me because I was asking myself the same questions: Why am I in Kisangani? Why am I going to die here?"
Hope for intervention
Thanks to the intervention of her sister in Manchester, and connections she had made while serving the Ugandan-backed rebel leader, she was able to board a flight from Kampala in April 2000, first to Newark, N.J., and then to Manchester, where her sister, now deceased, arrived in 1990 on a student visa.
Fluent in five languages, including English, French and Swahili, she graduated recently with a master's degree in business administration from Southern New Hampshire University and is serving an internship with an energy supply company in Merrimack.
"Americans are a compassionate people," she said. "They never stay away from any other person who is struggling. I know Americans, and they can do this."

Teaming up with Schmaltz Brewing for the first time, Terrapin Beer Co. returns for a third year as a production partner for Reunion '11. We brew Reunion each year in memory of our dear friend and partner in this venture - Virginia MacLean. Virginia lost her battle with Multiple Myeloma in 2007. It was her wish that we continue to raise finds and awareness on behalf of The Institute for Myeloma & Bone Cancer Research (www.imbcr.org).
This year's beer is a dark, complex ale brewed with cocoa nibs, vanilla and chili peppers. It was inspired by a fantastic dessert that we used to share with Virginia at our favorite restaurant. This brown ale leads with a sweet and subtle spicy aroma. The flavor begins with complex malt overtones and quickly gives way to a chocolate and vanilla mix of satisfying bliss. Just when you thought it was over, the heat from the chilies sneaks in and coats your tongue with tantalizing heat.
Many thanks to all who have supported this project and have helped us honor Virginia's memory.
Cheers - Pete & Alan

ESPN's NFL insider (and huge Slayer fan) John Clayton reported on SportsCenter that Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch will be a game-time decision in his Week 1 game at the Arizona Cardinals. Clayton said, "This is gonna go up to game day. They think he's gonna play, but they're not sure." Lynch is dealing with back spasms that have been flaring up recently. Lynch practiced in a limited capacity on Thursday.
Fantasy Analysis:
Lynch, I call him Mr. Beastmode, should see at least limited action. The concern is him exacerbating the issue during the game or simply taking a shot in the back. The practice reports will continue to trickle in over the next 48 hours so there will be updates leading up to the game. Unfortunately it's going to all be speculation and conjecture until they announce his status one way or the other. Should Lynch not play, rookie Robert Turbin could be a big factor.

However, we already had the idea of an Irish castle in mind — paying homage to Robert's Irish ancestry and my fairy tale fantasy — so once we searched the web it was quite obvious which to choose. Adare Manor is rated as a 5-star hotel, and the grand stature was immediately appealing. I could easily tell just by looking at the website that this was the castle I had always imagined! I would say the appearance itself is what sold me on choosing Adare as my venue.
2. Which four details from your wedding were your favorites?
1. The Irish dancers were the perfect form of entertainment for my wedding. They were so captivating, and they had the whole crowd entranced. I'm beyond thrilled that we chose to hire them!
2. The ceremony site I chose was another of my favorite details, despite the fact that we were getting married at a castle, I wanted the ceremony site to be natural and understated, so the focus was on the beauty of the unity. We chose to get married beneath two oak trees, which are symbolic in Irish Culture for truth, stability, and longevity. I loved the way the florist strung ropes of roses from the branches of the oak trees. It was perfect.
3. The centerpieces were beyond exquisite, and I can't praise them enough. The florist alternated between tall glass vases and bird cages filled with blush and white flowers. The green amaranthus added the perfect touch of whimsical, which contributed to my enchanted forest theme, bringing the outdoors in.
4. My wedding photographers were one of my favorite aspects because they captured every moment just as I remember it and even many moments I didn't have the chance to see. I have a new addiction and it's looking through my wedding album! Looks like I'm not the only one because I've caught Robert in his office entranced by the wedding pictures instead of working! Sure, you could say that any camera could have captured the day, but that would be far from the truth. The B. Mello team was creative, attentive and professional. I will cherish the images for the rest of my life.
3. Give us the one moment in your wedding you can't stop thinking about.
Every aspect of my wedding was spectacular and picking just one moment is so hard! I think the greatest moment for me was walking outside with my bridesmaids anticipating the hotel shuttle being out front to take us to the ceremony site, and being totally surprised with a horse drawn carriage! This was the one detail that I didn't plan and when my wedding planner presented me with the option, I declined to keep the budget in check. I didn't even consult my groom about it. Robert has a hard time surprising me for one of two reasons: either I pester him until he tells me, or he gets way too excited and spills the beans prematurely. But he pulled this one off and it was so special, It brought me to tears.

Still think that the below applies:
England should bat on and on until all out. If still at the wicket after the tea session tomorrow, then declare with 45 - 60 minutes left in the day.
England should aim to not have to bat again.

What time is stumps? Prior might fancy a ton.
Shot Prior! Prior is a good player of spinners, IIRC. I remember him smashing Murali for 16 in an over in the 2007 WC.
Lovely shot that from Trott.
Shane Warne reckons England should declare and have about 4 overs at Watson and Hughes.
Nice 'behind the back' delivery from Johnson, I've seen quite a few of those today.

Discussion in 'November 2010' started by roscoe36, Oct 19, 2010.
but Myrdal is in Norway, I've been there :D
Huh? What tha? I thought you all were talking about Salma, she's do frigging HOT!!!
...and now it appears that we are heading off in another direction The Pistons were embarrased by the Lakers in their own crib
Nice. I knew you just needed some coaxing.
Salma Hayek is amazing! I'm pretty sure she is the perfect woman.
Oddly enough, this place is at times a refuge for me from the insanity "out there".
Some things are worth sacrificing everyday comfort for. Seeing your favorite team play live basketball is one of them in my opinion. I moved from one city to another for live NBA basketball and I'll do it again if the Kings move to Las Vegas or to Seattle. I love seeing the Pistons live once a year. The reason it is different Ernie is because when you go live you get to decide what to look at, and when you watch at home the camera decides for you. I have all that stuff. It's nice. I don't eat or drink at the game because I can't afford those prices. I hydrate ahead of time. Again, some things are worth sacrificing for. Of course technology hasn't advanced to the point where I can DVR past timeouts and halftime, but you know what? I like timeouts live. And halftime is when I get to see all the other fans and find Pistons fans in away venues and talk to them about the team. It rocks. Way more than my living room.
I live in Golden now. I used to live in Northwest Denver (51st & Tennyson) and I also lived in Arvada for a while. I lived downtown when I first moved to CO. Just east of LoDo (27th & Larimer). It was "the hood" as far a Denver goes but now it's actually pretty nice. You live in Boston now don't cha? ...OK, back to topic: KOBE 4 MVP!!!
Whoa, Wait, I thought the topic was about Salma Hayek getting thrown out of a hockey game because Kobe scored too many goals? I'm so confused, I feel like Randy on My Name Is Earl, which is a very funny show BTW!
Salma Hayek is smokin' hot fosho! I'd get myself tossed out of a hockey game for her. Is "My Name is Earl" still on? Salma is more of an MVP candidate than Kobe.
Ooh, I LOVE smoked salmon.
My Name is Earl is in syndication airing on TBS...In LA it airs at 11:00 and 11:30 AM, and then on another local channel, (My 13) at 6PM, so we get our share of Earl, Randy, Barely dressed Joy and her husband Crabman, and Catalina. According to my Direct TV guide, Saucy Smokin Salma will appear 27 times on the tube this week on various channels starring in Ugly Betty, Fools Rush In, Frida and Wild Wild West (movie)..
I thought that Frida was a very good movie. ...a bio pic on renowned artist Frida Kahlo.
I live in Phoenix now. I am originally from Boston though. I just got back yesterday.
yeah I saw it a couple of weeks ago and it was very good.
Had gone to watch the salmons returned to their creek last month in B.C. Canada, all I could just dropped my jaw and had goose bumps all over myself. Great mother nature wow.
I live in Seattle. The salmon are swimming up Longfellow creek now. We are having a huge winter storm. Hope they make it!
This thread is multi-topic and will go on until the next Laker-Piston game and will be merged then.
Actually, we've transitioned this multi-topic discussion to Darth's Eagles thread. I'm hoping that we can bring down that thread by making it a dumping ground for anything "off-topic". Please feel free to post anything that you want about Salma Hayek, Salmon or Bucks Guard, John Salmons in the Eagles thread.

"I Feel Like A Victim Of Hurricane Katrina"
posted at 5:41 pm on November 4, 2012 by Duane Patterson
So on Wednesday, the mainstream media, Michael Bloomberg and Chris Christie were all tripping over each other to see who could praise Barack Obama the most for the work he's done in response to Sandy. And the President was so efficient in his good jobness that he went back out on the campaign trail, seeing that his work there was finished.
Do you remember what then-candidate Obama said about George Bush's response to Katrina?
The man who later became president insinuated that George W. Bush and the Republicans were holding off help for the victims in New Orleans on racial grounds. Extreme elements of the American left picked up on it, and continue to race bait in the current campaign. If you have any doubts, watch Chris Matthews on Hardball for five minutes.
Barack Obama made the claim, along with many other unkept promises, that in a crisis, he would not repeat the mistakes of George W. Bush, and did so while attaching nefarious undertones in his rhetoric. Now, President Obama has his own Katrina to deal with. It would seem only fair to do a compare and contrast a week later, wouldn't it?
"It's chaos; it's pandemonium out here," said Chris Damon, who had been waiting for 3 1/2 hours at the site and had circled the block five times. "It seems like nobody has any answers."
Added Damon: "I feel like a victim of Hurricane Katrina. I never thought it could happen here in New York, but it's happened."
Damon, 42, had already been displaced to Brooklyn from his home in Queens, where he still lacked power, as did millions outside Manhattan – from Staten Island, the hardest-hit borough, to Westchester County and other suburban areas.
"The priorities are showing, simply by the fact that Manhattan got their power back," he said, adding that Staten Islanders are used to being lower on the list. "We're the bastard kids who keep getting slapped in the head and told to shut up," he said.
"When are we gonna get some help?" blasted one desperate woman, who had to be held back by the mayor's security detail as Bloomberg stood by with a deer-in-the-headlights look.
"When are we gonna get some f–king help?" she demanded.
"There's old ladies in my building that don't got nothing," lashed out a man on video caught by a NY1 reporting crew.
'We booby-trapped our door and keep a baseball bat beside our bed,' Danielle Harris, 34, told the New York Daily News. The woman added that she has been hearing gunshots likely fired in the nearby housing project for three nights in a row. Meanwhile, local surfer Keone Singlehurst said that he stockpiled knives, a machete and a bow and arrow. 'I would take a looter with a boa if a felt threatened I would definitely use it,' he said. 'It's like the wild west. A borderline lawless situation.' City Councilman James Sanders said he fears that things are going to get even worse. 'We have an explosive mix here,' he said. 'People will take matters into their own hands.'
And there'a much more being reported in the affected region's local news, both television and newspaper. But where's the outcry from the far left? Where's the charge that Obama is playing racial games and abandoning people? Where's the sharp criticism of the President now from the mainstream media that enveloped their reporting during the days and weeks following Katrina?
I said it last week when the storm hit. Regardless of how MSM will try and spin it, the reality on the ground would trump the spin. The federal government cannot give the victims of this disaster the help they need in the time frame they need it, nor is that their role. But because Obama's campaign message has been 'more government now', it's very hard to make that case to an increasingly frustrated and panicky base when the President clearly isn't really in command of the size of government he currently oversees. Even Mickey Kaus thinks this is going to hurt Obama on Tuesday.
If indeed Mickey is right, and Obama is losing a fraction of turnout because of the storm, and how the population in some of the forgotten areas are spiralling into dangerous territory, the President can reflect in retirement about what went wrong, and maybe go back and review what he said about George Bush in 2007. And then perhaps he might recall the words of his favorite pastor, Jeremiah Wright – the chickens have come home to roost.

Hi all
Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this and if so could clarify which arm the flame thrower goes on.
Whilst watching ROTJ i noticed that in the scene where Leia (posing as the bounty hunter in Jabba's palace) produces the thermal detonator, Boba Fett raises his blaster into the 'firing from the hip' position. When we see him lowering his blaster the gauntlet with the flamer appears to be on his right arm (i always thought it was on the left, and it is on the sail barge). Is this just where the film has been mirrored?
