Re: 5 basic reefing tips, whats yours.
Reefing Tip: make your reefing system really easy to use, so that you will use it whenever you need to.
I have a single-line reefing system on my mainsail, which combined with the slippery Strong Track luff slide system, makes it easy to put in, or shake out, a reef in less than a minute from the cockpit while still sailing on course on most points of sail (maybe not dead down wind).
Ease the vang, ease the sheet, release halyard to the mark, winch in reefing line, trim the sheet (and vang if necessary), and go!

b) Did reef and turns out you didn't need to? You get to shake out that reef (which is good training) in very nice weather.
Which kind of "wrong" is better? ;-)
Re: 5 basic reefing tips, whats yours.
Didn,t know Capt John had such a bad rep, tho the 5 tips seem fairly basic.
Some great additional tips comeing through, different tactics for different situations.
Jackdale is ofcource right about when you feel the need to reef but the inexperienced may benifit from additional help to come to the right the decision.
Safe sailing
Re: 5 basic reefing tips, whats yours.
My boat has a big butt so anything past 20 degrees of heel isn't doing anything any good. If there's white caps, I need to reef.
Re: 5 basic reefing tips, whats yours.
I sail mostly boats with symmetrical hulls ... double enders, scows, etc. ... and which you can sail them over almost onto their beam ends and have very little change in helm pressure.
Aggressive heeling, for me, because of these boats sailing characteristics usually isnt a problem as its what im used to ... and oft-times 'enjoy'.
Even if a boat is over at 30 degrees of heel the lateral resistance is only decreased by 13% (COS 30 = .866) and the deeper the hull leeward topside immerses is ... tends to be a gain in 'projected' total lateral immersed surface.
Hell, even if 45 deg. over you still have 71% of keel projected area working ... plus the lee topside is much deeper in the water.
If my VMG to a distant waypoint is still reasonable ... I dont worry too much about heeling; but then again, Im 'used to it' because of the hull forms I prefer to sail.
My personal 'rules' when to reef are (remembering that I sail on boats with characteristically very light or almost 'neutral helm'):
1. When 'windward' if I begin to feel the boat begin to 'skid off to leeward' - through increasing helm pressure - and/or I see that the wake is no longer coming 'straight off the stern', then I begin to reef --- My 'key' to reefing when going to wind is 'helm pressure' ... boat is now 'skidding', the rudder is now going sideways relative to the water and I can feel it.
2. Secondly if the lee deck is 'awash', ... ditto on reefing ... I really dont want to 'trip' (quasi-broach) over the flat sided coach roof!
FWIW ... when I do reef, I usually set up for 'full draft shape' - eased reefing outhaul for 'full draft shape' - to 'power/punch' through waves. No use in having a flat reduced draft reefed shape as it usually doesnt have much 'power' .... I'd rather 'deeper' reef and have 'power' (large draft) to punch-through than a "1st" reef and flat (speed shaped) sails that cant 'punch' and will not enable 'accelerating' back to speed if/when I get 'stopped' by a large wave, etc.
Downwind ... another different set of circumstances altogether.
My two most important criteria are
1. 'hull speed' .... if you go much above 'hull speed', you risk a broach. I reef down anytime I exceed 'hull speed'. I do not like broaching, especially at night.
2. Roll period amplitude ... my 'crab crusher' has a loooong roll period. Less SA area that is up - less dampening of the roll. More SA - up less roll. .... until I get close to 'hull speed' (this ignores changing course, etc. to change the amount of 'rolling'.)
3. What is it going to be like if I have to head up and turn through and into the wind/waves? ... Ill set for that expected 'condition' ... just a 'safety issue'
Rig stretch - when long distance sailing and in 'blammo' conditions, I'll sometimes 'tie' a Loos gage to the backstay and if I begin to see a LOT of gage readings exceeding 30%, Ill begin to 'reduce' SA ... so to keep the rigging 'under' the normal 'fatigue endurance limit' ~=30% of Ultimate Tensile Strength of the wire ---- for less development of load cycles over 30% which accelerates the potential of rig 'fatigue' failure.
But also too my crab crusher rigging has an approx. 4:1 safety factor built in ... I wouldnt routinely do this aggressive heeling, etc. on a 'coastal design' at ~2:1 safety factor.
Hope this helps ;-)

This is our approach too... it's rarely let us down and if it does it's simple enough to 'unreef' in softening conditions.

Re: 5 basic reefing tips, whats yours.
Ah, a "Capt. John" article, the man behind skippertips.com, where, for as little as $48/year, you can learn a lot more great tips like this, thanks to Capt. John's years of experience...
that he has apparently learned by asking questions on FREE sites and regurgitating the info for his gullible subscribers.
For example,for $48/yr he will provide you with his experience sailing catamarans...once he gets the info he needs here:

Re: 5 basic reefing tips, whats yours.
For those who cannot open the link. As to when to use the engine, with strong tides and drying harbours along the coast here the answer is when you have to.
Think of reefing as a balancing act instead of a heavy weather tactic. Sailboats that are balanced tend to sail flatter, faster, steer with less effort (manual, wind-vane, or auto-pilot), and provide more comfort for the sailing crew. Sail your boat balanced and you will maintain good control in all sailing conditions. Watch for these 'time-to-reef' signals to keep your boat sailing balanced with power, speed, and performance:
Whitecaps to Windward?
Do you see whitecaps blowing off the crests of waves to windward? Constant whitecaps tell you that a strong breeze has filled in and will continue for some time. Reef to add power to your boat sails and punch through those waves like a hot knife through butter.
Gusts more Frequent?
How often do those gusts strike the sails and cause the boat to heel? An occasional gust might not be of much concern. But lots of gusts every minute mean you need to reduce sail to keep the boat on her feet.
Helm Hard to Hold?
A balanced helm means being able to steer without strain with one hand. Lots of weather helm and 'white-knuckles' on the wheel or tiller indicates a boat out of harmony with wind and sea. Reef sails to the point that your boat can almost steer herself!
Rail in the Water?
Each time your cruising (or racing) sailboat digs the leeward rail into the water, you lose valuable speed. Extra friction and drag make you slow down. Keep the lee rail clear of the water for faster cruising passages or to beat the competition on race day.
Rounding Up from a Run?
Apparent wind drops when broad reaching or running. And that can lull even the saltiest dog into thinking that the wind has lightened up. Check for whitecaps to windward long before you need to round up. Reef before you round up to keep your boat under positive control.
Use the signals that surround you to warn you that it's time to reef right now. Become the true master and commander of your small cruising sailboat--wherever in the world you choose to cruise!
Safe sailing

As a flavor profile, red fruits like strawberries and cherries are backed by a rustic edge. Tempranillo takes well to oak, and many Spanish wines from thsi grape will spend a few
years in barrel and bottle before reaching the consumer. Spanish wine laws are very specific about
ageing wine, both in barrel and bottle. Many Tempranillo-based wines see a few years of oak - add
that to a few years of bottle and the wine can give a subtle - and occasionaly not-so-subtle - leathery mouthfeel.
The combination of the tart fruit and tannins make this wine very food friendly. Additionally, Tempranillo blends well with Garnacha, a match particularly popular in Ribera del Duero. Some winemakers in Australia are also experimenting (quite successfully as we've tasted) with Tempranillo plantings, as are those in California and other New World regions.

Wayne Law students launch 313 Project to aid public service, revitalization, charity efforts in Detroit and surrounding communities
DETROIT (Jan. 27, 2010) – Wayne State University Law School students are proud of their community. Ask any of them and they will most likely tell you it was one of the major draws in enrolling at Wayne Law. Wayne Law students see Detroit and its surrounding communities as a place of great fortitude and immense opportunity. That's why, after growing tired of negative press and negative attitudes directed at the city, a number of Wayne Law student leaders came together to create the 313 Project.
The 313 Project was formed in fall 2009 by board members from the Asian Pacific American Law Students Association (APALSA), the Black Law Students Association (BLSA) and the Hispanic Law Students Association (HLSA). Its mission is to collaborate with organizations in and beyond the Law School to aid in public service, revitalization and charity efforts in the Detroit area.
"The 313 Project emerged at a great time," said Aisa Villarosa, a second-year law student who serves as president of APALSA and was among 10 Wayne Law students to receive a Public Interest Law Fellowship in 2009. "There's so much negativity cast on Detroit. We wanted to focus on the hope and resilience of the city. What better way to get involved than by working with the community?"
The 313 Project has already made a significant impact in the community through a number of events, projects and fundraisers.
Through "Tamales & Dimsum: A Charity Bake Sale," the Project raised more than $500 for three Detroit organizations including: La Vida, an organization focused on addressing domestic violence in the Latino community; Asian & Pacific Islander American (APIA) Vote-Michigan, a nonprofit/nonpartisan organization dedicated to translation services and voter protection; and Detroit City Love, a city revitalization and urban renewal project. Evie's Tamales, a Detroit-based business, supported the Project by donating to the event.
"The Asian & Pacific Islander American community in the Detroit area often is overlooked in terms of growing issues and needs across various ethnic groups and across the region," said Stephanie Chang, the APIA Vote-Michigan chair. "APIA Vote-Michigan is immensely grateful to Wayne Law's Asian Pacific American Law Student Association for its fundraising efforts. Because the organization is so new and still growing, every dollar makes a huge difference in empowering the APIA community, one vote at a time and one census count at a time!"
The 313 Project has also been involved with the Detroit Adopt-a-Child Project, providing much need clothing and toys for seven children during the 2009 holiday season, and was part of the student group coalition that raised $1,400 for Haiti relief efforts through a bake sale at the Law School on Jan. 25, 2010.
Clearly, these Wayne Law students are committed to this endeavor. Already slated for 2010? Assisting 20 children in need through the Detroit Adopt-a-Child Project, another "Tamales, Dimsum & Soul: A Charity Bake Sale" to benefit the Haiti relief effort, and involvement in Detroit Reading Corps, through which members will pledge at least an hour of reading/tutoring time per week with two elementary students in the Detroit area.
"The 313 Project has proven highly successful in promoting diversity and public-outreach efforts here at Wayne Law and in the surrounding Detroit community, by building awareness of legal and social issues affecting our community," said Erika Monfette, a second-year law student and vice president of HLSA. "We are extremely thankful for the substantial amount of assistance and support Wayne Law students, professors and lawyers have shown us in our efforts."
For more information regarding the 313 Project, please contact Aisa Villarosa at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The software automatically optimizes rapid positioning tool paths generated by CAD/CAM systems. It identifies inefficient and unsafe positioning motions and automatically replaces them with minimized collision-free motions based on machine tool kinematics, physical travel limits, axes positioning rates and the dynamically changing state of the in-process stock. It also is said to enable operators to quickly and easily migrate part programs from one CNC machine to another. According to the company, the software reduces cycle times by minimizing machine tool motions and positions, ensures safe multi-axis machine tool paths, and maximizes workpiece accessibility and the machine's work envelope.

The main truism about attending school in post industrial societies is getting one's child in the "right" school is putting their darling on the fast track to economic success. Parents in England are employing every trick in the book to ensure their child is gains a place in a desirable school. Ian Carter, a lawyer who specializes in school placement says, "Parents want to know when they need to move house to secure a place at the best schools, they want to know how close they have to be to the school to guarantee a place, and they don't want any margin of error." Parents are seeking the assistance of lawyers to file appeals if their child is not accepted at the "right school."
School officials are furious that lawyers mislead parents into believing filing legal challenges will ensure their child gets into a school. On the other hand, lawyers, and many parents, argue applications are unclear which leads to making decisions to secure legal advice on how to proceed.
One can only wonder as the housing market continues its collapse if parents will be able to pick up and move to the "right school." Eventually, they might discover a child has an excellent chance of getting into a college if they attend a "difficult school" and succeed.

NYC'ers Purple Crush and DJ Cat Tell LA to Dance or Die!
Last year, my beastly little heart broke when one of my favorite acts, Purple Crush, packed up their parcels, picked up, and popped over to the west coast for a new homebase. Thankfully, there's this weird thing called technology, which keeps us in touch.
Last night, I was chatting with Jared from the poptacularly-electro duo, and damn, do these two have some rad bits in the works. Hush hush for now, but I can let you in on what will surely become a staple of all you Los Angelians' hump-day hurrahs. Together with another NYC-transplant, DJ Cat NYC (whom I've loved and lauded many times before), these kids are telling you to DANCE OR DIE!

Compare great Dacia Diesel Tuning prices in Cricklewood with Who Can Fix My Car.
Bit more than I wanted to spend, but done a really good job at fixing the damage on my car. Better than expected.
Took in my s type jag to change the gearbox sump,filter and oil.i supplied the parts.i bought them from eBay.got a call from garage to say I got wrong sump pan.they cleaned up the original and put my new oil in.car runs and gear change is smooth and spot on. Thank you and I will recommend you to my friends and use you again.i also got a call to say I forgot my sump pan that I supplied.went back and got it and now its going back to suppliers.thanks again.great customer care.friendly staff
He did a good job, as good as anyone could have done. It turned out to be a much bigger problem that would have been over £3000 to fix which wasn't worth doing. Good service!
Shahid went out of his way to assist me . I would highly recommend his establishment to anyone.
I had a big dent on the RHS side back wheel arc of my car. A good professional job that was done at a reasonable price. Definitely recommend Shahid and his team.
Pros: good documentation of the service Cons: they don't work with customer's parts and i would have expected them to use Castrol Edge, not Magnatec, which was quite expensive (49gbp for 4.5 l)...agree customers can fail bringing the correct parts but don't think it's a valid reason. Also, gbp 120 plus vat for an oil change, i think that's too much and the oil is not even the best one. They should inform the customer amd agree on the spare parts/ oil. Using after market spare parts should be an option. Next time I will go for a service where i can use my own spare parts and oil/ cooling liquid. However, if you agree with their way of car service, you should go for it.
Robert contacted me for the work and explained to me exactly what was needed and time required. He also helped me book the appointment for Saturday. He answered all my queries clearly. On the day as agreed, they started work as soon as I reached the garage and the work was completed on time as previously mentioned. Read brake pads and sensor were changed. Brake fluid was replaced. They also inspected the front brakes and discs and even suggested when I would need to change it and did not scare or persuade me to change it right away like some other garage had quoted me. Overall it has been a pleasant experience and I would definitely recommend C&R Motors and their team. Thanks guys
Very quick, polite and efficient
Really easy to book. I took the car in and was completed within the time agreed. This was fantastic cos I had other appointments booked. I was able to be on time . I would definitely recommend C & R Moters Ltd. Great job.
Thoroughly satisfied with the work carried out at this garage. Job was completed quickly and properly. Customer service was excellent also. Highly recommended.
Highly recommended! Very professional and great final result!
I initially asked for the head gasket and a full service, Robert called me that the clutch needed doing and I agreed with this, When they put everything back the water pump was leaking and he replaced it. I thought it was a very good price for all of this work/ Robert is reliable and honest and I'm very pleased with the job they did for me.
Really good repair of bumper, completley got rid of the scratches and cracks there was before. Best price aswell, quick service.
It was explained when I spoke to them that the quote for a clutch replacement did not include the cost of the parts. This could have been made clearer before i accepted. However, having agreed the price, the work was done speedily and efficiently.
Good service and trustworthy.
Really good service friendly and helpful will defo return when needed don't get service like this verry often thanks
Great service..very friendly...
Quick service!
Highly recommended. Serviced my Range Rover. Picked it up and dropped it back. Would come back again.
Great people, great price and a cooler car. Thanks!
fantastic job
Did a good job, no problems
Good job!
Great quality and quick job, everything as described.
Good service, happy with the result.
Very good
Definitely Recommend this garage, great staff, very welcoming and friendly, gives honest advice and good service. Extra things were done without charge. A++++++++
You cannot trust them either..they didn't make oil change and they charge me 30£ for that job, what didn't do, some unreliable..i'm sitting customer room and i cannot see, what they do..watch out this garage..i cannot recommended them ! They try to charge brake discs too, discs not always need to change same time, when pads..
Job could have been done a little bit quicker but very good service overall!
Happy with the service provided. Job done well.

I got MF specifically to deal with all the Dravens I kept running into.

know its wot champ should i buy next but as i have some rp to use, was curious. Is the 7 Page Rune Bundle in the Store just 7 rune pages or does it come with runes aswell? just hit lv20 so starting to have to buy them now >.<
Just empty rune pages. Still very much worth it.
Also, I don't think you should buy rune pages, yet. You're fairly new and it's always possible that you get tired of the game or might dislike it in the near future. I'd say hold off until you are level 30 and have all the runes you need, then go and buy the pages.
That's just me though.
And like Duilliath said, it's worth it.
im very much invested now haha already spent about £50, plus i played the original DotA on W3 online for a very long time, only just relised wot this was 3 weeks ago when i quit WoW after 7 years :P very addicted atm, but i may aswell wait until i've atleast finished my first 2 pages before i invest in some more. Thanks
ye i spent nearly all that 50 on seperate champs until i bought the 3800 champ bundle with mainly the 3150 champs in, from the hours of fun with GP and Karthus it was well worth it for me :P
Karthus is a must for any mid laner he is so strong and can carry almost every late game team fight in your favour!
Hey guys, I really want to try out Caitlyn but I already have Ashe.
Should I still purchase her or is she basically the same?
I would say her laning phase is a lot better than ashe's. You can run her with nunu and basically have an untouchable lane that is incredibly frustrating to fight against.
She is pretty different than Ashe. If you are on the fence about buying her I would either wait for the free week champion rotation, or just buy her and see how you like her. I prefer Caitlyn to ashe, but I like to play very aggressively in lane, and not just farm. Ashe does have high damage burst potential, but she's not a lane bully like Caitlyn can be.
Yes I am thinking of getting Cait. Just managed to save enough for one champion.
Don't want to make a wrong purchase.
I play both and generally like Cait more, the safety early on, the traps to check bushes, the passive + long range to harass with. Plus if you have a support with some sustain you can just get doran's first and bully them all the way. Her ult is a bit underwhelming come late game if enemies have any idea what they're doing, but great early to mid game for snagging those pesky runners. Her Q scales pretty well into late game for team fights. Smash a couple of those into the enemy team and you'll have already dealt some serious damage, not counting all the attacks inbetween. Good disengage too in her net.
Cait went from the least favored to one of the most commonly picked ADCs.
Fantastic kiting ability...she is definitely one of the easiest ADCs to learn how to properly position yourself. As its been mentioned, Nunu is her best support partner. Taric and Sona are also good too.
She doesn't do the damage of a Kog or Vayne in the late game, but is a much safer pick.
Really fun ADC, with right position you'll shred the lane and teamfights, the range is just godly, she's exceptional with Nunu but other supports will do fine.
I see you're talking about Cait,so I need to ask too.
I somehow(least at the moment) prefer to play ranged classes while leveling,played Ashe until lvl11 and now saved up some point for new champ,but can't really decide between MF,Ez or even same Cait. I know that Cait have good escape and long range,but whenever I see ranked games on left side of the screen,Ez is there like 80% of the time,so I wonder is he that good or what? And talking about MF,I don't really know much about her.
Would like to get some advise/pros-cons one those champions,knowing that I'm still leveling.
Excuse me, are you saying something? Nah, you can't tell me nothing
All three are actually damn good AD carries, try them in rotation when they're available.
I'd say play them, then buy whichever you like. (All 3 are damn good)
All three are good. The ADs are pretty well balanced currently.
Ez is pretty much the safest of all ADs and has the most build options. Other than that, it largely boils down to taste, style, team setup and opponents' AD carry+Support (and team).
Ezreal is an incredibly safe champion that has very high damage potential in lane if you are good at landing skill shots. So you see him picked a lot because of that. It's mainly his E though, which gives him basically another flash.
I'm not really sure how to describe MF without comparing her to other champions. She has a very strong early game and is able to punish people who over extend easily. Her passive allows her to pick up boots later than most carries do (though you lose the speed bonus when you take damage, so it's a risky gamble sometimes). Her ultimate gives her a lot of killing power in lane since it does well a lot of damage. It can be avoided fairly easily, but they get cced into it, they are going to take a lot of damage. She works well on AoE teams, and is a very solid pick.
I could go on, for some time, but I think that should do.

Arsenal face Wigan Athletic in the Premier League at the DW Stadium on Saturday.
But how much do you know about our Premier League rivals?
Full name: Wigan Athletic
Manager: Roberto Martinez
Club colours: Blue shirts, white shorts, blue socks
Nickname(s): The Latics
Three facts about Wigan Athletic:
- Wigan were only formed in 1932, making them the youngest club in the Premier League.
- They have played at the DW Stadium since 1999, sharing with rugby league outfit Wigan Warrirors
- Manager Roberto Martinez played for the club from 1995-2001
Hugo Rodallega
The striker has been linked with a move to Arsenal for some time now, thanks to his impressive career with Wigan. Rodallega moved to the Premier League from Necaxa in 2009, and the Colombian international has scored 19 league goals in his last two seasons.
Remember, if you're not going to the DW Stadium, why not watch it with other Arsenal fans at our exclusive Members' screening?

Re: Supposed CTS Coupe design
The renderings look too conservative, in my opinion, in regards to style. The C-pillar needs to be broader and the rear quarter area "tweaked," perhaps along the fin-bodyside line, to be more prominent. Although that is a nice design, it is a lot more conservative than the present CTS Coupes. Hopefully, the designers will retain a pointy-creased rear deck-lid, more than exhibited on the generation III CTS Sedans. Thanks for posting the link!
In my opinion they made a major improvement to the coupe. The lines of the car have turned my two cents completely around. I like the bold statement that the coupe makes at present, however I feel that they have made a very wise change in the body style . It has a very competitive stance, and with the exception removing 132 ponies from the power plant for the V series ( aaarrrrgggh). It is coming into its own and is still very much it's own style, It's the best one in the line up thus far. Having said that I truly think GM should consider allowing for the true V series to join the next generation coupe.... They offset the slow sales by doing an ( by special order only ) detail and for those who willing to shell it out..... Why not let have ( after all the customer is always right.... Right? For a car company of true class this is not beyond reason, and Cadillac truly is and becoming more so as time goes on. Give back the ponies, it's still America. ( tear drops......jets fly over the waving flag....fades to a commercial advertising the lost 132 ponies being found. Lol.
They still have the Mercedes AMG and the Beamer M5 to contend with . The V6 TT is impressive being what it is ... A V6 pumping out 420hp, but lets face it, Against the performance of a AMG or M5.....I fear tail lights.... On the street and for the consumer that demands performance.

Re: Supposed CTS Coupe design
I respectfully disagree with Blueangel. Although, it looks better than the sedan, I think they are stepping backwards with this coupe, TT V6 aside, which is exciting. While I like the looks of the front end, when you get to the back, it's a little pedestrian. As the article stated, they made it more of a notchback like the Audi A5. When looking to buy last year, I narrowed it down to the A5 and the CTS coupe. The Caddy had better bang for the back, but it was a close call because the A5 admittedly felt a little "tighter". The main thing that swayed me was the design of the 2nd gen coupe. It is unique and sets the vehicle, and by extension, the brand apart from the crowd. Cadillac says that this gen is the largest selling luxury coupe, but I'm afraid they are going to lose more buyers than they gain if they build this CTS coupe.

Even though it isn't an official image No thanks.
I could picture something similar though since GM seems to be good at Alienating their existing customers.

Re: Supposed CTS Coupe design
Every one I know that owns a BMW, Lexus, Mercedes already likes the look of the Cadillac's but with them they still have the stigma of being an unreliable more expensive Chevy.

As for the cts coupe,...
It really looks like the dramatic change has returned. I imagine it wont be the last time.
I am waiting for thisimages (4).jpg and the ciel, if they have to do this to get there get going.

Re: Supposed CTS Coupe design
Good work, BlueAngel#07, in the Sedan you are awaiting--it is a beauty! In your earlier post, I think it may not be clear to you, there will be both a generation III CTS V-Sport edition and a generation III CTS V-Series, eventually--with the CTS V-Series bringing back the additional ponies. Until then, it looks as if, in the 'Meet your 2014 Cadillac line-up on GMInside News, the generation II CTS V-Series will still be built alongside the newer generation III CTS Sedans (and this includes 2014 CTS Coupes!) Incidentally, the new paint colors for 2014 are Obsession Red, Phantom Gray Metallic and Majestic Plum Metallic, with Twilight Blue (dark blue) Leather available as the new interior color (for the carry-over 2014 generation II CTS Coupes being built). It's confusing! In any event, the next generation CTS Coupe (or whatever model name slots into the successor vehicle of at least similar size) must have bold, brash styling above all else!

Re: Supposed CTS Coupe design
OK, now that we have a confirmed sighting of the ATS Coupe let's hope the CTS coupe isn't too far behind. Actually I kind of like the lines of the ATS coupe. We'll see what hppens.
Still full.
Re: Supposed CTS Coupe design
I really believe this CTS Coupe rendition lends itself to more harmonious lines for a Coupe than even the ATS Coupe. The slightly larger styling of the new CTS is more aesthetically pleasing and more polished in a Coupe than a Sedan version, whereas I believe the opposite is true for the ATS. I believe the ATS looks better as a Sedan and the CTS as a Coupe and will be really interested in seeing them in person in a side by side comparison. As is always true, perception can vary greatly when viewing these vehicles in person, as well as the various color combinations.
- 05-02-13 11:22 PM #14Originally Posted by BlueAngel#07
So far the CTS and ATS are both great in that area (with the subtraction of the 2014 CTS's rear end), but the XTS needs some work. I get the idea of big, full size luxury sedan...but the A7 executes in a much better way. Any age group might buy an A7 if they don't mind the size, but the XTS leans heavily towards the older generations.
I also feel we need a new XLR. Darn it, with the exception of the old-man interior, that was a cool car. Far cooler than any Z3/Z4...
I hear you there and agree to some extent, as far as a full sized luxury sedan the XTS is not hitting the mark for me and I would prefer the design of the Seville over the XTS. The concept that is the seville and the CIEL givin to full sized American luxury it looks as if it would fulfill the needs of what is expected. You can't forget about the serious touring car buyer, (some are not intrigued by extreme performance). The DTS was and is still viewed by some to have the old (BUICK) gram and gramps motif . But once in it the opinion tends to change. I still like the idea of a having a luxury car that is one, while having sports car that is one instead of treating one like other.
Still it will be interesting to see where there designs will go, can't say I'm disappointed with there direction thus far.
As for the Seville I would like to see it from some different angles.
I want to go new, but will wait for now.

If someone produced decent quality sheet metal armor (very basic set - chest plates, shoulder plates and belly plate)what would you expect to pay for something like that?
The reason I ask is that you often see pretty basic Sintra sets for $50-$100 USD and I wonder if sheet metal would be more expensive or pretty comparable.
Thanks in advance.


text: Just be very very careful, there are a few 2nd, 3rd and 4th generational Beeks up there who do not take kindly to new folk. I have sat and watched the treatment meeted out to some the folk who turn up expecting to plonk their boxes here and there. The established order up there stays very very established. The Mallee areas yield some great honey flows but some of them generational Beeks are very possessive of their sites. The local farming fraternity is in agreement with the generational management practices up that way.

In the new program, the first of its kind at any university, students who aspire to write children's picture books may see their manuscripts enhanced by art students in the Illustration program.
In the great green roomThere was a telephoneAnd a red balloonAnd a picture ofThe cow jumping over the moonThese are the opening lines of the beloved picture book, "Goodnight Moon," by Margaret Wise Brown. Her poetic phrases have lulled generations of children to sleep, comforted by the gentle rhymes and soothing words. Yet when people think of this classic book, they recall not only the text, they visualize Clement Hurd's childlike illustrations, which are inseparably linked to Brown's text.
The most memorable picture books marry words and images in just such indelible ways, with the text and pictures complementing one another. But developing a manuscript or set of illustrations for a children's book is hardly child's play. In most cases, the publishing process involves two separate tracks—first the author produces a text and refines it with the help of an editor, then the editor and art director select an illustrator to create the pictures.
Margaret Wise Brown and Clement Hurd were fortunate to have been collaborators, but today's writers and illustrators rarely have that luxury; in fact, they may never meet. So how do writers and illustrators approach their respective tasks? How do writers learn to use language that evokes imagery to inspire an illustrator, and how do illustrators learn to carry the spirit of the story into their pictures?
The Picture Book Project, an innovative partnership between Lesley University's MFA in Creative Writing program and Illustration program, provides an opportunity for aspiring writers and illustrators to gain the skills necessary for developing a picture book in today's publishing world. Students in the MFA in Creative Writing program can choose a concentration in writing for young people, where they will train with award-winning published children's authors to craft their texts and then apply a critical eye to pare back the words to the barest essence. Artists in the Illustration program work with experienced faculty to develop a set of illustrations that respond to an edited manuscript.
The Picture Book Project provides students with the opportunity to think outside their disciplines and "create something together that neither could have created alone," says Peggy Hogan, who teaches illustration.
"It takes students a long time to realize that a picture book is a marriage of two parts," says Susan E. Goodman, children's book author and a member of the Writing for Young People faculty. "Writers need to learn to write in an immediate, visual way, but it takes great skill to mold text in such a way that enables illustrators to shine in their medium."
Writers also learn to give up preconceived ideas of how the setting or characters should look, even if they've visualized these elements throughout the writing process. "The illustrator may come up with an idea beyond anything they've imagined," Goodman says.
Illustrators for their part learn to trust their own emotional and visual response to the story, and not follow the descriptions in the story too literally when creating pictures. "It's a parallel track," says Diane Bigda, who co-teaches the Illustration course with Hogan, "The words and images each have their own narrative, their own presence."
Picture books play a vital role in children's development, especially at the pre-literate stage, says Hogan. Students in the Picture Book Project have the added advantage of taking Lesley courses in education and child development, to help tune them in to the developmental stages of their young audiences. For example, she says, books for babies often deal with themes around attachment and security, while those for toddlers provide examples of mastering skills and venturing out into the world beyond their parent's arms.
The appeal of picture books remains evergreen. "This is a great time for children's books in general, and picture books in particular," says Bigda. Each year, Americans spend $3 billion annually on children's books. "People love the tangible quality, they like to cozy up with their kids at bedtime."
With the demand for picture books comes the publishing industry's need for well-trained writers and illustrators. "When I talk with editors, they say finding good authors for picture books is their most difficult task," says Hogan. With the Picture Book Project, "Lesley has the ability to do something no one else is doing" to prepare authors and illustrators for the rigors of picture book publishing.
The landscape of children's book publishing may have changed since the time of Margaret Wise Brown and Clement Hurd, but beautifully illustrated stories for children are still very much in demand. Like "Goodnight Moon," successful picture books capture a child's imagination by blending an evocative text with fresh, appealing images. Words and pictures, working in tandem, create memorable stories that children will want to read many times over.

Good morning folks,
I hesitate to post this as I know it's not screen accurate as a paint job and I still have some work to do (namely the screw holes and trying to mod the scope). However, I'm posting this because I wanted to show off my first semi-completed mod and as a newbie I think I can get away with it.
I have to give SlaveFive credit (or whoever did the tutorials at sci-fire) for the painting tutorials on wood graining and metalizing. The whole purpose of this project was so that I could practice these tutorials in preparation for bigger and better things. I wanted to get the hang of them so that I wouldn't ruin stuff once I move onto projects that cost me a few more dollars.
First of all, I started off with a Hasbro EE-3 and let me tell you, this thing is tremendously ugly out of the box. The mix of orange, white, and green really punches you in the mouth when you lay eyes on it. It comes with a separated weapon body and stock.
The first thing I did was sand down the stock to remove as much of the images as I could off of the stock and I decided to fill in the connector piece as it's hollow on one side. I used Locktite Repair Putty for this. Once the putty setup (only a few minutes later), I sanded it down even with the body. In preparation for primer, I rough sanded the entire stock body so that it wasn't quite so smooth, but I would up still not liking it...more on that in a minute.
Next I used primer on the stock body. I took it apart because I wanted to be able to evenly coat everything while it sat on my drop tarp all in one pass. I used Valspar primer (2 coats). I also began to prime to weapon body. What you see here is the weapon body after the first pass.
Ultimately, I wasn't happy with the smoothness of the stock, so I took my Dremel with a 60 grit sand head and removed all primer and etched the plastic. The paint I used wasn't a standard flat or semi-flat black. I decided to try a black / rust mix, which I kind of liked for this project. After I repainted the stock and body and before I touched up the etching, this is what the stock looked like:
A sample of the paint used up close. I thought it did well to make plastic look metallic.
I went through the wood graining tutorial and I learned a lot from it. The base coat of Ivory (Behr Ivory Mist to be exact) is the key as it forms the base color. I used a 1 inch goat hair brush to apply it and then continued to brush it until it was so dry that I started removing some of it and let the black undercoat show through some. Then, it's a matter of applying the medium brown, very dark brown, and cherry tones to get your desired effect. I only put a very small amount of cherry on since I accidentally put too much medium brown on to begin with.
When and if I do this again, I will be a lot more easy on the initial base color as this turned out dark. As a finished product it actually looks pretty good, but I'll try to keep it lighter initially next time. I was surprised how fast the spray toning dried, so there isn't much room for error. I will also be sure to paint the stock as a single piece next time instead of splitting it to ensure uniform tones.
I also decided to apply the same effects to the handle on the main weapon body, but that was a bit more of a challenge with rattlecans and trying to keeps colors separate. I think I did alright with it, but could certainly be improved upon next time.
Something else that I did was I added eye screws to the stock and to the weapon body just in front of the battery. I put Superglue on the threads as I screwed them in after I drilled pilot holes.
I then went through the metalizing and damage tutorial and it turned out pretty well. I will say that my sad excuse for a camera doesn't capture much of what I did, but it looks quite nice IMO. I sprayed a very small amount of bright silver on an old wash cloth and dabbed, rubbed, and bumped the paint on the high points. I made sure to keep damage in line with other segments and I tried to hit it where I figured would be likely places to bang it up.
After I finished with the damage, I muted it with the dark walnut toning in most places, but not all. I also put damage where I accidentally dinged the weapon body with the Dremel. At least now it looks like it's supposed to be there. Notice that it's also on the stock high points.
After the damage was muted, I combined the stock with the weapon body using JB Weld and I sprayed the entire body and stock with a matte finisher to get rid of the shine. I then added the strap. The strap was from an $8 camera case from Walmart. I weathered the strap with some dirty sandpaper and wood toning. It's nice and ugly at the moment.
Overall, as someone completely new to this whole thing, I think it turned out ok. Although I'm well aware that it isn't screen accurate, I'm very happy with my first finished project and will display this thing proudly as the beginning to a great hobby.
I would like to add lenses to the scope although I'm not sure how to cut down lenses to fit inside and I really should have filled the screw holes on the stock. I will likely do both in time, but for now I thought I would share.
Be gentle folks...I am a newb afterall.

Senior netminder Tony Capobianco set a pair of school records in a 3-0 victory against Sacred Heart on Friday night, helping lead the Canisius College hockey team to a win in game one of a best 2-of-3 Atlantic Hockey First Round series. The Griffs are now 13-19-3 on the season, while the Pioneers drop to 12-23-0.
Capobianco became the school's all-time leader in saves and shutouts in the win. The senior stopped all 27 shots he saw to raise his career total to 2,839 – 10 more than the previous standard held by Dan Morrison. He also recorded his seventh career shutout to break a mark that he shared with Bryan Worosz and Andrew Loewen.
Senior Kyle Gibbons, junior Tyler Wiseman and freshman Shane Conacher all scored for the Griffs in the win.
"It was a hard, physical battle that we're going to focus on repeating tomorrow night," said Canisius head coach Dave Smith. "It took each player competing at maximum effort to get a great victory and I'll look for more of the same tomorrow as we try to advance to the next round."
After a scoreless opening frame, Canisius struck early in the second to take a lead it would never relinquish. On the power play, senior defender Ben Danford sent a pass through the slot to an open Conacher. The rookie then buried his shot near post from the left face-off circle for his fourth goal of the season. Gibbons also registered an assist on the goal that gave Canisius a 1-0 lead 2:12 into the period.
The 1-0 scoreline remained that way until the third period when it was Capobianco's turn to shine. The Pioneers had their best opportunity of the game early in the frame when a cross in the low slot gave Justin Danforth a nice look at net but the senior netminder was there to deny the chance. Two shots later, Capobianco recorded his record-breaking save to keep the Griffs ahead, 1-0.
Wiseman then doubled the Canisius lead to two when he netted his fifth goal of the season. Senior Taylor Law had his shot from close range saved but the rebound squirted loose and Wiseman was there to knock it in for the 2-0 advantage. Junior Mitch McCrank also registered an assist on the tally 6:22 into the period.
Canisius sealed the victory when Gibbons netted his team-leading 14th tally of the season with an empty net. Sophomore Mathew Backhouse and junior Cody Freeman both recorded assists on the goal with 1:53 remaining in regulation.
The Griffs finished the game with a 28-27 edge in shots. Canisius was 1-for-2 on the power play, while killing both of Sacred Heart's extra-man chances.
Alex Vazzano recorded 25 saves in defeat for the Pioneers.
Canisius now looks to sweep the best 2-of-3 series tomorrow night when the schools meet at the Buffalo State Sports Arena at 7:05 p.m.
Game Notes: Dan Morrison (2008-12) held the previous record with 2,829 saves … Capobianco had previously shared the shutout record of six with Bryan Worosz (2001-05) and Andrew Loewen (2006-10) … In seven career Atlantic Hockey Tournament games, Capobianco owns a perfect 7-0-0 record with a 1.71 goals against average and .956 save percentage … Two of Capobianco's school-record seven career shutouts have come in the Atlantic Hockey Tournament … Gibbons' two points give him 17 in 11 career Atlantic Hockey Tournament games … McCrank now has nine points in his last 11 games after recording seven in his first 21 games of the year.

Need some suggestions
I have a 36Lx24Dx24H Showcase cage (I don't have a picture of it but if you type in Showcase Cages into Google their website will pop up. I wasn't sure if I was allowed to put their direct link up) that I am interested into turning into some type of planted terrarium. At the moment there is a Kingsnake in there but he is gonna be going to a new home soon and I want to do something different with the cage.
What I'd like to do is set up some kind of little pond in one corner (was thinking of just burying a storage tote so I could have a two or three gallon 'pond' and not have to worry about seepage to the dirt areas). On the dirt areas I'd like to have a bunch of easy to grow plants. I'm good with houseplants so I know I can pull that part off.
What I need to know is what kind of lighting would I need in the cage to keep the plants happy. There are two places molded into the top of the cage where I can put strip lights and dome lights. And the cage would be easy to drill to put in other lights as well. Also, is there any easy to take care of critters that I can keep in this type of setup and not have them tear the whole thing up? I have an idea of the plants that I want to grow in there but I want to research any possible critter first so that I make sure I am giving them the right things for them to thrive.
None of this is gonna happen anytime soon. I'll be moving in October or November so I won't be setting anything like this up until after that. But this gives me plenty of time to plan and replan and research!!!
Thanks in advance for any suggestions! Links (if possible) to things are much appreciated also!!!
cfl's or shop lights would be your best bet for lighting. use bulbs in the 6500k range. home depot sells a 36" t5no strip light that i use over my viv. downside is it comes with 3000k bulbs, so you would need to get 2 replacement bulbs for it. or you could grab a cheapie t5ho unit from one of the online vendors.
as far as critters, it is best to choose the critter first, then build the tank to suit them since different animals have different needs. for example, some dart frogs lay their eggs in bromeliad leaves and require high humidity, however, white's tree frogs lay their eggs in still water and can adapt to different humidity levels. both amphibians, but different requirements. so choose wisely :)

When using the chicago screw method for installing the visor into my BM helmet, What size do you guys recommend?
Printable View
When using the chicago screw method for installing the visor into my BM helmet, What size do you guys recommend?
53 Views and nobody knows?, Good job daz is doing it for me. :-D
Just seen this bud...
I'm nearing my visor installation into my FPH and was thinking of using 5mm.
But if Daz is doing it for you, why do you need the info?
no idea. mine is held in with hot glue :)
I was gonna do it myself, then daz said he'd do it, so all's well
if you use only glue (whatever variety), a good idea is to drill small holes all along the edge of the visor. actually, a more free flowing glue might work best on this. apply the glue along the inside of the helmet. when you apply pressure to the visor, capillary action will draw the glue up into the holes you've made and when dried, it will become kind of a "glue rivet". People use this technique to attach plastic hinges to RC cars all the time. thanks
I think I used - 3/16" from Lowes with rubber washers. I didn't want to go with the glue only method in case I damage the visor, I can remove and replace it. Fitting is a bit of a challenge. I started but securing the "chicago" screws into the helmet with epoxy. ONce dried I measured the spaces between the screws so I could drill holes into the edge of the visor to match - I suggest covering your visor entirely with blue tape to keep it from getting scratched during this process. With the visor in place, on the visor (covered with the blue tape) - I marked spots where the holes will be drilled with a perm marker - then I removed visor and started drilling the holes. I test fitted as I went, trying to make the best alignment for the screws. Not the easiest job, but I was happy with the results.

Average daily intake per cow in California is down 22 percent since 2002
High feed prices continue to dominate coffee shop dairy talk these days, with no item more discussed than alfalfa hay.
While longtime Western hay market analyst Seth Hoyt thinks prices will be $30 to $50 per ton lower during the first quarter of 2012, they won't be low in terms of what milk producers had been accustomed to for years. Compared to the sky-high prices some saw in 2011 ($300 per ton or more), even his most optimistic forecast means hay prices will be roughly double what they were less than 18 months ago.
Whether somewhat lower prices translate into more hay buying is questionable, too. While high prices haven't stopped hay from being fed to milk cows, dairy owners are gradually using less of it. Take California, the nation's largest dairy state, for instance.
As seen in the graph here that Hoyt showed at the recent Western Alfalfa & Forage Symposium, average alfalfa feeding in the state is on a lengthy and steady decline trend. California Department of Food & Agriculture data shows that milk cows in 2011 were fed an average of three pounds (22 percent) less alfalfa per head per day than in 2002.
What is taking the place of that alfalfa? Probably corn silage. During that same 2002 to 2011 period, Hoyt said total corn silage acreage in California increased from about 390,000 acres to almost 500,000. Some is likely going into ethanol, but some is just as likely going into milk cows.

Prime Minister Olmert of Israel emphatically told his ministers that all illegal outposts on the West Bank must be dismantled as soon as possible. He termed the outposts, which were build withoout authorization by government authorities, to be a "disgrace" which should be remedied as soon as possible in order to put Israel in accordance with the road map laid out for peace negotiations with Palestinians. His comments came days after President Bush had commented those installations "ought to go" for the future of peace. Olmert told his colleagues, that Bush, "repeated the absolute commitment of the US that no agreement between us and the Palestinians can be implemented on the ground before the full implementation of the road map both in Gaza and the West Bank."
Israel's government has a choice– give up a few dozen scattered outposts that mainly provide home to a few hundred people or give up possession of housing that provides homes for 250,000 Jewish settlers. It is clear the Olmert government is going to protect the existing West Bank settlements and will not pay much attention to the needs of a few hundred settlers. The question ignored by Bush and Olmert is why should Palestinian leaderes accept loss of land to settlers who initially entered territory that was not part of the original state of Israel carved out by the UN?

KPRC 2 wins 10pm news race in May 2014 sweeps
In Adults 25-54, Monday-Friday 10pm ratings, KPRC was #1, holding a steady rating year-to-year while KHOU and KTRK were down 30% and 39% respectively:
In Adults 25-54 Monday-Sunday, KPRC remained number #1 at 10pm:
"It took a total team effort by everyone in the station", said Vice President and General Manager Jerry Martin. "To win any major newscast in this highly competitive market is a great achievement so my hat is off to everyone in front of, and behind the camera who worked so hard for this."
KPRC also had a strong showing in Mornings, winning the 5:30am-6am news time period for the 8th consecutive month, and showing the largest year-to-year gains of any station in the 6am-7am hour. KPRC was up 13%, closing the gap on KTRK who gained 5%, compared to losses of 33% by KHOU and 40% by KRIV.
All ratings are based on Nielsen Live + SD overnights A25-54, English only, for the measurement period of April 24th, 2014 through May 21st, 2014.
KPRC Local 2 is the NBC affiliate for Houston, TX. The station is owned by The Graham Holdings Company (NYSE: GHC) and is one of six Post-Newsweek stations along with WDIV Detroit, WPLG Miami, WKMG Orlando, KSAT San Antonio and WJXT
KPRC has long been an innovator as the first television station in Houston and the 12th in the nation. KPRC was the first in Houston to broadcast in color and the station that beamed Neil Armstrong's famous words "one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind" across the world.
KPRC's innovative spirit continues to this day through communications advances and community partnerships. Other KPRC properties include Click2Houston.com and THIStv.

Glad to see KPRC winning the morning news! I was a fan of Channel 13, but was sick of hearing "Your weather is never more than 7 minutes away." Really...after every weather segment? Argh!ReplyDelete

The headline of this article should read ...KPRC wins late news A25-54... but REALLY is a distant 2nd place to Univision KXLN's 10p Newscast that did a 3.2 rating to KPRC's 2.0.....commanding 49% more viewers REGARDLESS OF LANGUAGE ! Funny that fact is swept under the carpet with the sourcing. term "English only" in this article. It's time Univision got the credit it deserves in EVERY article published about TV ratings performance and time to stop hiding Houston's new majority and powerhouse TV station behind "English language only" criteria.ReplyDeleteReplies

Anonymous is right. KPRC should issue a press release celebrating KXLN;s win. It just makes perfect sense.Delete

Keep your pantalones on Univision. There are four major English stations competing for local news viewers, with 200+ cable channels, versus two major Spanish stations with a handful of Spanish cable channels that pull hash marks. Of course the numbers won't add up. If it were the other way around, pick any two of the big 4 English stations and they would crush KXLN. Congrats on a nice book, but trying to compare KXLN here ain't manzanas to manzanas.Delete

I used to watch Channel 13 at night, but now watch 11. They have a much better Sports Director.ReplyDelete
Channel 2 was demolished in the ratings at 4 p.m. They got a 2.2 in the household ratings while ch. 13 got a 3.0. They were last in the 25-54 demo at 4 p.m. too with a 0.6 rating.ReplyDelete
They should make a change because the viewers are obviously rejecting it badly.Replies

Sad to see any of the stations crowing about 2-3 ratings points. The ratings winner used to be 17; the loser 7.Delete
What is clear is that viewers are rejecting all television newscasts badly.

I find it hard to believe. I tuned out of KPRC because of that obnoxious Reuben character that they have on. I want news, weather and traffic in morning on the way out the door, not fluffy and fake entertainment with amateur comedy and phony laughter.ReplyDelete

It had to be due to Voice show or Fallen. The two facelift freak anchors and the reporters who butcher the English language command viewers see news elsewhere on Houston channels.ReplyDelete

Green Bay Completes Weekend Sweep with 3-1 Win
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - Getting goals from three different players, the Green Bay women's soccer team completed a weekend home sweep with a 3-1 win over visiting South Dakota (1-5-0) at Aldo Santaga Stadium. The Phoenix (3-4-0) has now won three of its last four games and improves to 2-1-0 at home this season.
"I'm happy with the result and winning three out of the last four," said head coach Trevor Warren. "We still have things to improve on, but that was the goal that I set last weekend. Let's win these two at home and that will be three of our last four. We accomplished that, and we will look forward to Illinois State."
After scoring the first four goals in Friday night's 4-2 win over Michigan Tech, Green Bay got off to a slow start on Sunday and fell behind when South Dakota's Jenny Teslow scored in the 11th minute.
Sophomore Emily Friedl (Kenosha, Wis.) scored the equalizer in the 22nd minute, a beautiful shot past the keeper to the far post from 15 yards out. Senior Megan Braatz (Waukesha, Wis.) assisted on Friedl's goal, which was Friedl's first of the season and jumpstarted the Phoenix win.
"It is really nice to play at home and have the advantages of that and get to wins under our belt," said Friedl. "We have had some disappointing losses when we knew we were the better team, so it is good to get wins."
The two teams played the next 45-plus minutes knotted at 1-1 before the Phoenix was able to pull ahead in the 68th minute. Junior Hekla Palmadottir (Akranes, Iceland) sent a cross into the box, and sophomore Hannah Kernen (Belleville, Wis.) was able to find the back of the net with a leaping header past Coyote keeper Abby Lindsey.
The Phoenix scored an insurance goal with just under 10 minutes to play thanks to some impressive dribbling from Friedl and the first career goal from freshman Heidi Hartmann (Plymouth, Minn.). Friedl beat two defenders to create a 2-on-1 with the keeper. Friedl's slid a pass to Hartmann, who scored from in close for an 81st minute goal.
"I felt like our crosses and our corners were poor and with the possession we had we didn't do enough with it," said Warren. "It is interesting that out of the maybe 10 crosses we had, we had two good ones and we scored on both of them. We just have to be better at delivering the ball."
Sophomore keeper Katy Pilarzyk (Madison, Wis.) made four saves in the win for the Phoenix, who outshot South Dakota 10-7 in the contest.
After playing four games in the past 10 games, Green Bay will take 10 days off before returning to action on Sept. 19 at Illinois State. The Phoenix will next be in action at home on Sept. 22, kicking off Horizon League play against Detroit at 12 p.m.

You can create the same type of control for your users in an Excel sheet, but the process isn't intuitive. The option is in the Data Validation feature. Fortunately, once you know the feature exists, it's easy to implement. You need only two things: a list and a data entry cell. The following sheet shows a simple drop-down list in an Excel sheet.
Users click the drop-down arrow to display a list of items from A1:A4. If a user tries to enter something that isn't in the list, Excel rejects the entry. To add this drop-down list to a sheet, do the following:
- Create the list in cells A1:A4. Similarly, you can enter the items in a single row, such as A1:D1.
- Select cell E3. (You can position the drop-down list in most any cell or even multiple cells.)
- Choose Validation from the Data menu.
- Choose List from the Allow option's drop-down list. (See, they're everywhere.)
- Click the Source control and drag to highlight the cells A1:A4. Alternately, simply enter the reference (=$A$1:$A$4).
- Make sure the In-Cell Dropdown option is checked. If you uncheck this option, Excel still forces users to enter only list values (A1:A4), but it won't present a drop-down list.
- Click OK.
You can add the drop-down list to multiple cells. Select the range of data input cells (step 2) instead of a single cell. It even works for noncontiguous cells. Hold down the Shift key while you click the appropriate cells.
It's worth noting that the drop-down arrow is visible only when the cell is active.
