text: Here's first attempt at putting together a pressed and pinned AK front sight for my Saiga 12. I used a AK-74 FS and Tig welded it to a correct ID piece of tubing stock. I'm going to probably abandon the spring loaded retainer pin idea or go with a AKM style sight for the next attempt. The pin retainer pin location of the prototype using AK-74 FS is too high while keeping the FS at the overall correct height. Also want to add a bayonet lug for coolness.

Dear Lucy,
I am 21 years of age, have recently finished a four year degree in French and Spanish studies, and am thinking about undertaking a TEFL course in England. I am particularly interested in teaching in South America, perhaps Argentina, after I have completed the course. However, I am currently baffled at the amount of TEFL courses which appear whenever I search for information through the internet! I was wondering if you could perhaps give me some guidance on a particular course to follow, or even just a reliable website to use as I am unsure of where to turn for the best information.
Any help at all would be much appreciated!
Thank you

Sunday, December 23
From a personal point of view I have always felt to be in a position to write the fan's blog on Arsenal.com you would need to be someone who travels home and away, over land and sea, week in week out. Then and only then would I feel comfortable describing my experiences as a Gooner.
Saturday was a whole new experience for me. I can genuinely say I have never watched us play in a pub! And do you know what... I hope I never have to do it again! I was a nervous wreck and hated every minute of it.
People have often said my passion for our great club is more an obsession, an addiction even. I am prepared to accept there is a degree of both in my support but the main reason I hated Saturday so much is that I genuinely wanted to be there. No other reason.
The 'stick' I got from all my fellow Gooners was amusing and expected but helped to a certain degree by making me feel in touch with events going on in the stadium.
As far as the game was concerned I thought we battled hard and ground out a win, the three points being massive as always.
When our winner hit the back of the net, one Gooner in a pub in Kent, dressed in his wedding suit, leapt around like a lunatic to the amusement of all onlookers.
Needless to say, as our magnificent away support battled against the elements on the long journey south, I thoroughly enjoyed the remainder of what had been quite a strange day personally.
Our Boxing Day postponement means Newcastle at home comes next.
Before all that it is time to enjoy the seasonal festivities.
Merry Christmas Gooners

Moab, UT
If you haven't been here since your dude days, you're in for a pleasant, even refined, surprise. Lately Moab has sprouted more mellow pursuits that you don't have to catch air or defy gravity to enjoy. Don't mistake mellow for monotonous, though. We're talking stellar wineries tucked among sandstone canyons, locally sourced eats, scenic bike trails that won't chew up and spit out beginners, and suites along the Colorado River. It's the same great outdoor playground, with a new sophisticated side.

You should be able to maintain a constant 14volts give or take .2 volts with a fully charged battery.
I would be willing to bet you have a couple issues which makes it more difficult to diagnose.
First you need a good multimeter to see what the voltage really is at different points in the system.
You need to pull the battery and have it charged and tested. Recently I have seen batteries cause weird issues.
You need to be sure of exactly what you have for an alternator. A one wire is a waste of time in my opinion and will not necessarily work properly when the other wires are connected. The voltage regulator is the main difference between a one wire and a three wire.
There is a small d shaped hole in the back of the alternator. In that hole there is a little metal tab. If you carefully insert a small screwdriver into that hole and ground that tab it will force full output on the alternator. This may help you test it.
Thanks for the help, I'm not going to ask why you're up at 3:30 in the morning...
OK, let me make sure I have this right. I need to scrap the little 2" wire thing I made, and run a pretty heavy, like 10 gauge wire, from #2 to the battery itself (starter), and run a second wire from #1 to a switched 12 volt, like the "on" position on the ignition switch or something?
|EOD Guy
Running the wire from #2 to the battery would allow it to charge....... if there was a wire from a switched 12 volt source to the #1 terminal telling the alt to start producing juice.
#1 terminal - exciter wire, goes to idiot light (or switched 12v), tells alt to produce jiuce
#2 terminal - sense wire, goes to pos side of elec system, tells alt how much juice to produce depending on the demands etc...
Okay, tonight I was finally able to get over to the shop and examine things in light of your comments. First, it's clearly a three wire alternator. Second, it only has one wire going to it, and it is the large wire that goes straight to the positive side of the starter, where it meets the battery cable. The terminals on the back of the alternator are not marked one or two. The one shown above two is the furthest one from the battery location; a quick check on a buddy's showed the same thing. So I made a short section of wire going from what should be #2 to the battery terminal and started it up. The volt meter in the car was steady at just short of 13 volts, pretty constant the whole time. Then the light thing started it's blink thing again, did it a few times, I shut the car off. I have not run a ground from the engine to the body. I do have grounds running from the body to the frame and from the engine to the frame.
Any guesses? I'm getting closer to bald all the time. Thanks for all the thinking and help.
I agree with EOD guy ... the older 3-wire setup is t he way to go.
Read this article at Mad Electrical.com for the reasons why.
Here's how to tell what you have now:
CS130 series "One Wire" Alternator
10SI /12SI series "Three Wire" Alternator and Connector
|EOD Guy
I'd get a three wire.......lol
I don't like the one wires for several reasons, and never have had much luck with them, there are many that have but not me.
So if I read that right, you only have one wire cominig from the rear of the alt going to the battery, no connector with two wires coming out of it, on the top?
EOD guy-
If I understand your instructions, that test wire will work if it's a three wire. What would you suggest if it's a one wire?
All the bulbs are 12 volt. I'll be d---med if I'll ever take my car back to the shop that ripped me off. I paid my bill, but I was very clear that my big mouth was going to cost them a lot more than $300 worth of business. Didn't seem to bother them any.
I have NO idea if it's a three or one wire. I can tell you it's chrome plated, and has a single stud on the back of it. I'd guess that it would be a single wire, but I know that aftermarket, chrome plated three wire alternators are out there. I have forgotten where I got this, so I can't say what it was represented as.
I'll try to get out tonight and take a look at it. My next day off is Wednesday, so I may see about running that test lead, thanks.
BTW, I did try another alternator, no help.
thanks for the responses.
I had a chevy van that was a great van. One night on my way home the voltage spiked up to about 18 volts, headlights bright and all.
I put a new voltage regulator in it. Done deal.
It was an internal regulated SI series.
|EOD Guy
Is the alt a true one wire or a three wire wired as a one wire? The three wire would have a wire from the #2 terminal straight to the lg output lug on the back of the alt.....hence a one wire. If it's a true three wire, I'd remove the wire from the #2 terminal and the lg output lug. run a new wire, 10 guage or so and about 4-5 foot long, to the main hot wire going into the fuse box/pos post on the battery.
The #2 terminal is the sense wire and tells the alt how much juice to put out, on 60's era car's GM originaly ran this from the alt to a radiator support terminal/junction, then across the radiator support to the drivers side then tied into a fuseable link and into the pos side of the electrical system to take avantage of the resistance the long wire run provied....... getting a truer sense of the demands on the electrical system etc.....
I'm thinking your alt is getting a false signal to produce more juice etc.. The temp wire will prove/disprove that etc......
Just my 2 cents
Bald Electric
Why did you pay an "electrical repair shop" $300.00 to tell you something you already knew?
Voltage changing from 12.5 down to 10 would cause the lights to dim not go bright.
If the shop said bring it back I would. Sounds like ya got about 3 or so hours of work comming from them.
|S10 Racer
|This may sound dumb by was all of the lights changed over to 12v? I think the 53's came out factory as 6v. It sounds like something with the voltage regulator in the alternator. I would buy an alternator.
|I would add a strap from block to body and replace the alternator. It sounds like a bad regulator. Just because you took it to s shop doesn't mean they fixed it. Can you swap one from a buddy's' ride ?
going bald from tearing my hair out
I will say right up front that I am pretty much allergic to most things electrical. I'd be mighty greatful if someone can follow my story here and help me.
I bought a 53 Chevy 210 at the NSRA Nationals two years ago. It's a great looking car, ran and drove OK, but was all pretty much stock drivetrain. The body, paint and interior were all done. I installed a fresh 350/350, Chassis Engineering MII, 10 bolt, Ididit column, etc etc. and now I can't drive the car because of a wiring problem of some kind. Here's the symptom:
Engine running, lights on, I noticed what I can only describe as a "blink" in the headlights and dashlights. They go bright for only a moment, then back to normal. Last time it happened, I was just watching it, trying to figure it out, and when it "blinked" it was such a surge in voltage that it actually blew out both headlights. Ok, says I, only thing that can create that much juice is the alternator/regulator, (GM single wire) so I take if off, take it to a rebuild shop here in Denver, and have it redone. Put it back on, no good. Problem persists. A buddy said I needed a ground strap, I added two. One from the block to the frame, one from the body to the frame. No good, problem persists. I also notice that when the engine is running, I see every so often the voltmeter changing from 12.5 to about 10, random, but every few minutes. I break down, and take the car to a local electrical repair shop. $300 later, they tell me that my headlights are out, and if it happens again, to bring it back. . So, here I am.
Like I said, I am not any good at electrical. The car had been rewired prior to my having it, but the job really looks pretty haphazard. If anyone can help me I'd be really greatful. If you know someone in the Denver area who is good at this stuff, I'd be willing to $$ them to get this right before the season is over. I'd like to drive this car without worrying about it catching -fire or something... call me if you'd like at (303) 681-7770.

9/11 firefighter to speak at Santa Fe College convocation
Published: Thursday, January 3, 2013 at 5:01 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, January 3, 2013 at 5:01 p.m.
Santa Fe College on Friday will welcome back students and faculty with its annual spring term convocation, scheduled for 9 a.m. in the college's Fine Arts Hall.
The convocation will focus on international education initiatives at the college, highlighted by a Skype conversation with a student in Sweden, SF College announced Thursday in a news release.
The keynote speaker will be retired New York City firefighter Tim Brown, who on Sept. 11, 2001, was near the World Trade Center when the first tower was struck by a plane in the orchestrated terrorist attacks. Brown ran toward the tower to find out how he could help and was assigned to the command post at the remaining tower before it also was struck, according to the news release.
Since retiring, Brown has become a motivational speaker and a spokesman for firefighters, police officers and construction workers who served at ground zero and their families.
Recognized guests at the convocation are expected to include Patsy Blount, a member of the Foundation Board and wife of the late Charley Blount, Santa Fe's largest single donor to date; Jack Payne, senior vice president for agriculture and natural resources at the University of Florida; and Scott Costello, publisher of Home Magazine.
The convocation will be preceded at 8:30 a.m. with light refreshments in the Fine Arts Hall lobby.

Addam Swapp is a Free Man
Addam Swapp was released from custody Tuesday morning.
For privacy and security reasons, he was set free from the Sanpete County Jail, rather than from a state prison.
Swapp has been behind bars since 1988, after he bombed an LDS Church building and held police at bay, in a 13-day standoff that drew national attention.
One officer was killed during the incident.
Swapp, now 52, served time in both state and federal prisons.
He was released into the custody of relatives who still reside in Utah.

Designed for light-duty rackmount equipment such as mixers and signal processors when the cost of a heavy-duty metal flight case is not required, these black carpet-covered rack sleeves will protect your gear while providing easy transport and a professional appearance.
by soundbug1
on 4/24/2017
As described, used for light duty and LIGHT WEIGHT equipment. Not big heavy stuff. No metal rack ears but you can use drywall screws with nylon washers to mount equipment into the unit. If your rack equipment has bolt heads sticking out of the sides, you will have to remove a small bit of the wood ears to get your piece in. Still, seeing that this unit sells for over twice the MCM price elsewhere, the unit could not be built in parts or TIME for the MCM price AND it is extremely functional, I'd recommend it for LIGHT DUTY applications. It's CHEAP and it WORKS. I feel like I got more than I paid for with this so I bought 4 more!

I put two of my Crown XLS1000 amplifiers in these racks. (I have another one with two XLS2000 amplifiers, too) The only thing I didn't like was, that instead of metal rack ears, it has wood sides for mounting your components / devices onto. If these Crown amps were the old school MT1200 series, their weight wood tear out the wood sides. So, be careful what you decide to mount in them.
by danslentz

First.. a rack case SHOULD have metal rack ears! NOT blocks of wood on the sides so that you would have to use wood screws to attach gear. Second, the blocks of wood (their idea of rack ears) are just thick enough that standard gear simply won't slide down into the box unless you shave the wood (creating a wider gap) or remove the screws from the sides of the equipment. I've never seen such a poorly designed rack... ever! It's too bad because the material is decent.. the rubber feet, corner bumpers and handle aren't bad. It looks decent but just is terribly poor in design.

Rack looks good.and at first seems pretty solid. The SURPRISE comes when you can"t fit your rack mount gear into it! The unit is not quite wide enough. I got out the saws all and cut out a small block of the mounting wood and managed to squeeze the equipment in. Also it's a very tight "4 space" fit. Cheap enough, but you will be doing a little work. I would purchase this again if needed.

The photos do not show that this item is incomplete and cannot be used as it is.I was not pleased to find only two blocks of wood where I expected to find a drilled angle stock for rack mounting screws. So I now have to order two, 2U rack rails, and the hardware to mount them to the wood to make this product useable.Beware.

I have two applications for this. This excels at the first application, which is to cover a knot of wires and connectors on the floor under the first pew for sound and video gear that we sometimes place in the first pew. This is solid, well-constructed and discreet. Since we're just just stuffing everything inside it, the opening sizes do not matter.The second application was to actually mount rack equipment in the sleeve. Here are some things you need to know:1. no screw racks. You will need to pick up wood screws to drill into the wood strips at the sides. Regular mounting screws will not work.2. The opening, at least on the two I've received, was not wide enough for the rack mount amps and other equipment I was placing in them. I used a rip saw and shaved down the inside edges to make them wider. Be ready to do some work on these if you want to mount equipment.3. Height - not quite 4U. Unless the construction of the unit changes, you will only be able to place 3U of equipment in these. Fortunately for what we had to mount, we were able to get by with only 3U in each.4. Weight - this is wood. With equipment in it, it is heavy. If this is equipment you won't move much, you'll do fine. Just don't plan on using this monster to haul gear into and out of gigs unless you're doing it as part of your strength training program. MCM has some flight cases that are very reasonably priced and I would recommend (having purchased some) instead of using this one to haul equipment.Bottom line: if you're using this to hide or protect non-rack mount equipment that you won't move much, this is an incredibly good deal. If you have rack mount equipment, and are willing to work with and around these limitations, you will be pleased.

Nice solid rack sleeve, A little heavy but good for a fixed instalation.Can't beat the price!!
by bckeller
on 6/5/2013
It's rather vague in the description. "Wooden mounting blocks (screws required)". I was blinded by the amazing cheap price. Be advised, there are NO RACK RAILS for this product. Which goes against the description "and a professional appearance." I've never seen a professional rack without rails, and I've been doing sound for 20+ years.
... ... ... It also says "will protect your gear while providing easy transport". Be advised, it does not come with lids. Which, to be honest, I wasn't expecting or needing. But, I would not want to transport equipment without lids. As a sleeve, it would slide into a custom ATA case. That's fine. The ATA case would have the lids. But as a stand alone, no. I would not use this to transport equipment. ... ... ...
I would suggest ordering a pair of part number 555-13220, which are 4ru rails. That description says "Rails" plural, but customer support confirmed that it is only one rail per order. ... ... ... For an extra $5, they could make this a great little, inexpensive rack. Alas. It's not quite that. ... ... ... All that said, it does look pretty. This is for our new FOH. We needed a small rack on top for the Galileo. And any misc things that a particular show might want to add. So, should be fine. But wanted to warn the next buyer that it has no rack rails. ... So, now I am waiting on rack rails. When they arrive, hopefully they will go in easy. At $25, it's not worth the hassle to ship it back.

Unit was exactly what I needed for a Pyle Pro 1000 Watt amplifier. Tight fit - OK. You need wood screws to secure your unit as the sleeve has wood rails. No problem though.
by tdwhokie
on 4/3/2013
Like the 4U model the wooden rack ears are too big which means you will either have to cut them back or do like I did and pop them off and replace with metal rack ears that you can buy here as well. Perfect fit after that and still a bargain. Fit and finish is very good.

When I got this case, I was impressed with the build quality and overall appearance. And when I first put my new 2U amp into it, I thought all was well. But when I went to add the two 1U blank faceplates (for future expansion) I found that the front opening is 1/8 inch too narrow - as the previous reviewer said - and that the total opening *height* is about the same amount too small! It's not a 4U rack, it's a 3.95U rack! :-( And this is going to be harder to fix than the left-to-right issue, because I can't just shave some off the side rails. I'm hoping that removing the carpeting will do the trick. (That might even be the entire *cause* of the problem: they continued the carpeting from the outside of the case, inside, and I think that's taking up just a tad too much room.)
If it weren't for that, I'd rate this thing perfect! And for the price, I'm willing to do a little mod work myself.
(Well, one more quibble - although it IS clearly noted here in the product description, but this case does not have rails, as such - it has two wooden bars on either side of the opening, that you have to drill holes into and put your screws into. Really? What, am I supposed to use wood screws?! I think I may try to remove these wood "rails" and install some proper metal ones.)

Excellent build quality, nice corner guards and rubber feet. Except, I went to put my amplifier into this "Rack Sleeve" and it is too wide to fit between the wood rails. My amplifier was 17.5in wide and the opening between the wood rack rails is 17.25in. I'll be modifying with a jig saw in lieu of sending back. It's a great inexpensive rack, just make sure your gear will fit.

Trucking should be cheaper, it was way cheaper for us, saved thousands and results in sailing on both coasts in the same month!
I would suggest using USHIP.com as that worked out well for us. It does add costs but makes it much easier to compare companies and bids. There are ways to find out which company is bidding even though the site does not like that. PM me if you want more info.
You do not want the lowest bid, you want the best bid. Lowest is good for some folks. When off loading our boat there was a boat there that had been off loaded a few days before. They were very happy that their shipper was almost $2G cheaper. It did not bother them too much that the mast was damaged such that it will need a new section spliced in, the hull had scratches (not the buff out kind) from the straps, and other damage.
That kind of damage was totally unacceptable to me but it not uncommon and for many the low shipping cost is the #1 concern.
Prepping the boat is key. Everything stripped off that can be. Down below everything has to be wrapped and packed as it will get a shaking the sea could never give. The best shippers slow down for bumps but most do not and even slowing down does not prevent the hard impacts. A 3 thousand mile trip can be perfect except for that single pot hole hidden by a puddle.
Wax the boat! We couldn't do that, know we needed it but weather decided otherwise. Wax will collect all the road grime, tar and truck exhaust. Easy to strip and rewax. Not so easy to clean road grime off gelcoat.
Plastic wrap every thing, home moving supplies will have hand size plastic wrap about 6" and large rolls. Get lots of carpet for padding.
I would also recommend travelling with the load. Most shippers will balk at that, the best will welcome it. You can run interference, call back with info on road closures and construction though I guess it helps if you have done that before.
Traveling with the boat enables you to accept the changes to the route or schedule and then arrive early and ensure the yard is ready for the boat. Done well the load can arrive and be off loaded and the truck on it's way in just a couple hours, less even.
For success, like all such ventures, planning is key as well as staying on top of the situation. You are the general contractor, you pay the bills, you call the shots so do not be afraid to ask questions, understand the roles and responsibilties of everyone, and chances are you will have a great trip.
On the other hand, if you want to just hand over some money, as little as possible, and hope that everyone will do a good job you will more likely, IMO, just be adding to the horror stories....of course that could happen anyway.
Insurance is tricky. The owner with the mast repair thought the boat was insured, the company said they had insurance and they did but just for the truck and 3rd party, not for damages or repairs. You want it in writing as to what happens, who pays, when the boat ends up in the ditch. Of course there is money to be saved if you accept that responsibility.
Having the shipper cross the border with the load will add cost. We saved considerable money by off loading in Washington and sailing across.
Overland shipping is such a great option that at some point I'm sure I'll get a trailer again. Our past boats had trailers and it makes for great shipping and storage. It is always best to drive the truck yourself too.
I highly doubt that hiring a captain to bring her around would be cheaper than trucking. However, it may make sense to ship her around. There is a company that drydocks yachts, and ships them to another port, then floods the drydock.
Interesting idea, not sure about prices.
You might do well to sell the boat and buy another, if it is under 35.
|It's a lot of work to get a boat ready to truck and you should do as much of it yourself as possible so you know it's done right. Anything you don't want road grit in you should cover in shipping plastic wrap (winches, windlass, clutches, etc). EVERYTHING that can move inside the boat should be wrapped and padded and secured. All the standing rigging should come off the mast and then be wrapped, and the mast itself (and the running rigging if you don't remove it from the mast) should be completely wrapped and padded with bubble wrap and then padded with carpet rems where it is going to be supported on the trailer. You will probably need to remove the bow pulpit and some stanchions to stay under the max. height limit. It took two of us four long days to do everything, including unstepping the mast. Putting it all back together takes longer .
If I were you, I would look into hiring a captain to bring the boat around. Sailboats are not really meant to be on trucks over roads.
If you must truck, make sure that:
the price includes de-commissioning the boat (un-stepping the mast, etc.) and getting it packed up, ready to ship and loaded on the truck;
whoever is doing this is competent;
have a complete inventory of what is supposed to be on the boat when it leaves FL
know what it will cost you to re-commission the boat when it gets to WA
be there when it arrives with your list of what was supposed to be on the boat and check it before you let the trucking company "off the hook"
I've read multiple cases of mis-steps on each of these issues, of course, along with many more who have had good experiences.
Good Luck!

|My personal experience with boat transporters is that even with a signed contract that they try and get an extra $500 from you on delivery. My move was less then 700 miles. Be careful.
|I just got quotes for a 41' LOA sailboat from Oriental,NC to Anacortes, WA. The average was just over 10K but some were in the 8 - 9K range. I was most impressed with Dudley Boat Transport out of Tacoma (no affiliation).
Our boat came from Marblehead MA to Seattle in Dec 08. Fuel prices were about the same then as now. $10K for a 39' boat 12.5' beam 15,400 lbs. This was thru an independent hauler. Just a rough idea for you.

How to Get Rid Of Blackheads Quickly
Nothing can bring down your mood quicker than a blackhead or blemish on a previously pristine face! Follow these tips and you'll be on your way to clearer skin — fast!
"Use a light exfoliator on your face two or three times a week. It not only gets rid of blackheads, but it also prevents them!" --Lena, 19, St. Louis, MO
"Take a warm washcloth and hold it on your face. Leave it on until the blackhead has moved to the surface. This ensures you won't scar your face!" --Branell, 15, Abilene, TX
"Get rid of pesky blackheads by mixing sea salt with your moisturizer. It leaves skin extra soft!" --Christina, 17, Chicago, IL
"Before trying blackhead pore strips, remove any dead skin cells by putting a piece of tape on the top layer of your nose. The strips will remove double the amount of blackheads than they would have before." --Luisa, 23, Los Angeles, CA
"Exfoliating is key. Mix a little brown sugar with your face wash. The sugar crystals are perfect for scrubbing deep down." --Amelia, 18, Galesville, WI
"Try not to use foundation on a daily basis because it can clog your pores." --Rachel, 16, Towson, MD
"Get an extraction done at a salon once a month. They put a steamer over you to open up your pores, and then they apply light pressure to your skin to extract all the dirty goop!" --Jessica, 14, Strathroy, Canada

Hi this is my first post here
Recently, I have convinced a friend of mine to to be a mandalorean with me for halloween (and possibly other activities). I plan to be the original Boba Fett, however my friend wants to do something to their liking.
One catch: my friend is a girl, and would like to produce the type of chest armor for mandalorean females seen in a recent insider issue (sorry, i dont knoe which #).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Free personalized radio that

Iron & Wine
It was Beam's 2004 full-length, Our Endless Numbered Days, that signaled his arrival on the indie pop scene. Recorded in Chicago with producer Brian Deck, the album was resolutely hi-fi, but the addition of a full band only illuminated Beam's deft lyricism and intimate vocal delivery, resulting in one of the most critically acclaimed albums of the year. Late 2004 found the newly marketable Iron and Wine popping up on television commercials and movie soundtracks (In Good Company, Garden State), culminating in a busy 2005 that saw Beam release two EPs, the lush Woman King and In the Reins, a collaboration with Arizona spaghetti Western aficionados Calexico. The politically charged Shepherd's Dog, Beam and company's most diverse -- and most listenable -- record to date, was released in 2007. A two-disc collection of B-sides, rarities, soundtrack inclusions, and discarded tracks from the Iron and Wine archives called Around the Well arrived in early 2009. Kiss Each Other Clean, Iron and Wine's first collection of new music in nearly three years and one that found Beam further expanding the group's sound, was released in January 2011 by their new label, Warner Bros. After a move to 4AD and Nonesuch, Iron and Wine released the more relaxed and intimate Ghost on Ghost in early 2013. The Brian Deck-produced album featured jazz drummer Brian Blade and bassist Tony Garnier of Bob Dylan's band, among others. Together with Band of Horses frontman Ben Bridwell, Beam released a covers album titled Sing into My Mouth in 2015. The record featured versions of songs from the likes of Talking Heads, John Cale, and Sade. ~ James Christopher Monger

Posted by Benjamin Ensor on April 23, 2013
Ten years ago, Forrester published some research with the slightly awkward title of 'New Payment Systems' Survival Guide'. One of our findings was that many successful new payment systems have some kind of 'must-have' transaction that encourages customers to go through the hassle of learning how to use a new system in the first place. Good examples of 'must-have' transactions include eBay's auctions for PayPal, travel to work for Transport for London's Oyster, and online shopping for iDeal.
Ever since, I've been seeking the 'must-have' transaction that will spark consumer adoption of mobile payments in developed economies. But what if there isn't one? (And, after 10 years, it's probably time to admit that there isn't). The answer is to focus relentlessly on both lowering the barriers to mobile payment by making it as easy as possible for customers to use a new system and to increase the benefits by maximizing the number of ways and places customers can use a system.

|School of Business to Acquire 12 Bloomberg Terminals
|The real-world experiences the Trading Room offers the School of Business are expanding with the addition of 12 Bloomberg terminals.
The real-world experiences the Trading Room offers the School of Business are expanding with the addition of 12 Bloomberg terminals.
A student-led initiative resulted in purchase of the Bloomberg terminals, a step that "will bring the finance program and the School of Business to a new tier," said James Loughlin '12, who has worked on Bloomberg terminals for two years of internships with Blue Ridge Capital.
Loughlin lobbied Dean Mary Ellen Zuckerman for the Bloomberg terminals. He said they will help better prepare finance students for the job market.
"I presented the idea from the perspective that acquiring the Bloomberg Terminals would maximize the full potential of the Trading Room, and benefit students both inside and outside the finance program, as well as faculty doing research in financial markets," said Loughlin, a business administration major with a finance concentration and minors in mathematics and economics.
Since the Center for Trading and Analysis of Financial Instruments – as the Trading Room is formally known – was founded in 1994, students have been instrumental in its innovative changes, said finance and international business professor Abraham Mulugetta, who guided its opening.
Loughlin follows the leadership of students like David Israelow '08, said Mulugetta. In 2006, Israelow identified a real-time data provider that allowed the Trading Room to switch to Thomson Financial from ComStock. Another student wrote a report in 1994 that helped the Trading Room move from 12 DOS-based terminals in a computer lab to its own room with 27 Windows-based workstations.
The Trading Room is designed to capture the atmosphere of an actual trading environment. Through the 2010-11 academic year, students accessed real-time market data received from various exchanges connected to 53 workstations utilizing Thomson Reuters' Thomson One software.
Now, Loughlin said, students will have exposure to both industry standard software systems. With its strong news and research features, Thomson One is used heavily on sales and trading desks at Wall Street investment banks and brokerage houses, as well as the asset and wealth management divisions of those firms, he says.
"In addition to streaming real-time global news from multiple third-party sources," Loughlin said, "the Bloomberg terminal provides a wealth of analytical capabilities for equity and fixed-income products, as well as currencies, commodities, derivatives, and numerous other asset classes."
Loughlin compares his experience of using Thomson One terminals in the Trading Room and Bloomberg terminals for summer, winter, and spring break internships at Blue Ridge, a global equity long/short hedge fund based in New York.
"I found the Bloomberg terminal to be much easier to navigate, and the power of its analytical functions was incomparable," he said.
He looks forward to how those analytical tools can be "fully integrated and utilized in upper-level finance classes, such as Securities Analysis & Portfolio Management, and Real-Time Portfolio Management."
The terminals, purchased with an educational discount from Bloomberg, will arrive with the new fiscal year that starts June 1. The School of Business also has hired a new IT support person for the Trading Room, Doug Elias. He will develop educational and training materials over the summer and provide support and instruction for the Bloomberg terminals.
"Bloomberg has a huge presence in the financial world outside of the classroom, and our students would be ill-served to the extent that it was not a part of their training here," Elias said.
The addition of Bloomberg terminals is good news to more than students and faculty, said Zuckerman.
"The Investment Advisory Board is very pleased as well," she said of the group of alumni working for financial firms who meet each semester with members of the Real Time Portfolio Management class for a report on the performance of the Ithaca Fund, which the class manages.
Mulugetta praises the work of the Core Trading Consultants, a student-run finance organization, who have managed the Trading Room "with an openness that encourage curiosity bound by civility."
He cited the work of Scott Steimer '11 and Loughlin, among others, as instrumental in acquiring the Bloomberg terminals.
"The CTCs have devoted their time and talent to learn, to be curious, to teach each other, to share the excitement of learning to other students and create a contagious and conducive learning environment in the Trading Room," Mulugetta said.
"They have undoubtedly demonstrated the type of leadership we faculty envision to see in our students."

Find shortcuts that make tedious tasks quick, accurate, and repeatable!
If you use copy and paste, you're eliminating unnecessary retyping and possible typos. But did you realize that you could be using dozens of additional shortcuts that make tedious tasks quick, accurate, and repeatable? In this essential title, Joe Kissell shines a light on OS X's many built-in shortcuts and provides sweeping coverage of the utilities that go even further.
You don't need to be a programmer -- or even particularly geeky -- to automate your Mac. Everyone uses copy and paste, and most of what Joe explains can be used by anyone, from novice to expert, to make their work quicker, more accurate, and more easily repeated when needed. Nor is specialized software necessary, since OS X has oodles of built-in automation features like keyboard shortcuts, configurable gestures, and automatic launching of key apps. But clever Macintosh developers have created brilliant utilities that go far beyond OS X's features, and Joe discusses the key players, devotes a chapter to Keyboard Maestro (which gives you control over nearly any task on your Mac), and delves into the included automation capabilities in Microsoft Office and Nisus Writer Pro.
In short, Take Control of Automating Your Mac will:
We've included discounts totalling over $60 on eight of the key apps Joe covers: 20% or 30% off on Keyboard Maestro, LaunchBar, Hazel, Nisus Writer Pro, TextExpander, TextSoap, TypeIt4Me, and Typinator -- look for coupons at the back of the ebook!
Take Control of Automating Your Mac has chapters about how to:
This ebook was written for users of 10.9 Mavericks and 10.10 Yosemite, but many of the functions described work similarly in older versions of OS X.
Joe Kissell has written numerous books about the Macintosh, including many popular Take Control ebooks. He's also Senior Editor of TidBITS and a Senior Contributor to Macworld, and previously spent ten years in the Mac software industry.

Undoubtedly, most of you will have seen the amazing story about the developer who secretly outsourced his own role to China, investing 20% of his annual salary to free up almost all his work time. The ruse came to light when the firm, who were pushing forward with a more flexible working package, noticed anomalous VPN activity and called in their telecom provider to investigate. The logs indicated that their lead programmer, "Bob," was apparently regularly telecommuting from Shenyang despite being peacefully sat at his desk surfing the Internet for amusing cat videos.
It transpires that "Bob" had FedExed his SecurID token to China and was allowing the remote development company VPN access to his employer's network so that they could do his day job for him.
Irrespective of the terrible security implications here, and they are pretty horrid, "Bob" was delivering high-quality code to schedule. In fact, his performance review regularly identified him as the best developer they had! And what "Bob" did here was not difficult – many sites offer the services of dedicated professionals such as developers, designers, proofreaders, even lawyers, for a small price.
In a business environment where we encourage flexible working, allow personal devices, and seek to incentivize workers for innovation, excellence, and performance, "Bob" could be held up as a role model, but at what cost to the enterprise?

It becomes increasingly clear that right wing talk hosts and members of the Republican party have reached the conclusion that relentless anger and hate directed at President Obama eventually pays off. After all, many believe where there is smoke, there must be fire. Occasionally, a voice of reason can be heard in Republican ranks such as that of Newt Gingrich who noted that Republican presidents Reagan and Bush had also made speeches to school children urging them to work hard. Right wing nut cases like Beck and Limbaugh are urging schools to boycott the president's speech on grounds that he is propogating Socialist ideas.
Rush has a point. It definitely is Socialist, not Republican, to urge students to read books and learn from them. After all, for Bill O'Reilly and Glenn Beck, the idea that one could learn from reading historical works is undoubtedly an attempt to brainwash Americans into supporting the idea children should go to libraries and read.
In the world of Republican crazies, actually reading historical works for information rather than listening to the rants of nut cases is an example of how some children have been brainwashed by the liberal establishment.
Where ignorance is bliss is where you will find a good Republican.

One couldn't put Mario on a shirt, but they could put on a man wearing a plumbers hat, overalls, and a mustache. I think the "M" hat is actually copyrighted, like a logo. So long as you didn't copy the style of the character, you'd be okay. Generic items like bottles and gems that are used in a wide variety of mediums aren't the same as characters that were created by a company, specifically for that company's mediums.

What I'm most curious about is if I had submitted this on a male model, or a blank tshirt, without the obvious attention being drawn to the chest, if it would have been rejected. It would have been a boring comp, and got no votes, but I still wonder if it would have been derby legal at that point.
That said, no problem with getting rejected. I knew it wouldn't win, knew it could get rejected, but threw the comp together for fun (after all my real 3 Mile Island ideas were smashed by lack of motivation/abilities.)
my only comment: If you don't know the difference between black self empowerment and the KKK, hon, this country has a long way to go.
I say reject on grounds of copyright infringement, nothing else.

I guess you're right. I think I'm just thinking that the context of the those objects together clearly are intended to represent Legend of Zelda. Saying they individually have no meaning may be true, but when you put them together there is no doubt in anyone's mind that you're trying to make and sell a Legend a Zelda shirt. We all know it, it's just then a legal argument along the lines of "that depends on what the definition of is is." The style of the hearts, the exact same shaped sword and crystals, a fairy in a bottle. I remember designs get rejected for less. Calvin and ball weren't copyrighted words, but put them together and you're capitalizing on Bill Watterson's work without any added content. The phrase itself wasn't even legally copyrighted, but it was/is his intellectual property. I can't think of any design that woot printed that was just capitalizing on the original work without making an additional comment on it. Maybe they're changing their stance.
I like the design-- especially the leaf-- but I'm not a big fan of the way Africa and Europe turned out (random island off the coast of Africa, smiley face of lakes in Africa, no British Isles, etc.). Maybe I'm just picky about geography?
This globe seems to be a similar perspective and a little more accurate that maybe could be used as a reference image? It came from this article on Earth Day.

Re: 1985 - Buckminsterfullerene
1985 is the year fullerenes, which are special allotropes of carbon, were discovered. Fullerenes come in a few different forms, but probably the most interesting one is buckminsterfullerene (they're more commonly known as "buckyballs"), which is named after R. Buckminster Fuller. He was a pretty cool guy. Buckminsterfullerene is made of 60 carbon atoms arranged in an icosahedral form (like a soccer ball), and my illustration details the organic structure including the aromatic rings. Yes, I'm a geek.
EDIT: I have a "geekier" version of this shirt posted here for you hardcore science fans. Please check it out!
This is my design based on the cover of Super Mario Bros. 3. In 1988 this game was released in Japan. It is a Japanese man wearing a rendition of the Japanese Hakama Pants which are similar to Marios. He also has Geta Sandals and Tabi Socks. Instead of "M" for Mario on the hat, the red circle is meant to represent the Japanese Flag. It has six colors and the shirt color which shows through in some places.

Great line work on this one! It's definitely a different type of tree shirt.
Very unsettling topic, though you did a wonderful job with it. I like how you used the shades of blue

Thomas Vermaelen admits Arsenal will have a tough task on their hands when they take on Bayern Munich in the last 16 of the Champions League - but he's confident the team can progress.
Jupp Heynckes' side have started the season dominantly, winning their Champions League group and forging a nine-point lead at the top of the Bundesliga.
Vermaelen is ready for a stern test but believes a lot can happen between now and February 19.
"It's a tough one but we knew before [that] it doesn't matter who we drew, it will always be a tough one, especially in the Champions League," he told Arsenal Player.
"You play against the best teams in Europe. I think it will be a nice game. Bayern Munich are doing well in the German league. They are in first spot so it won't be easy but I'm looking forward to the game.
"There's less than two months to go [until] the first game so a lot of things can happen with the team, positively and negatively. We'll see at that time how it goes. I'm confident we can get the result if we have a good day.
"Most of the time in the Premier League, the one that's the most consistent wins the league. The Champions League is a tournament. Anything can happen.
"It's only about two games, one an away game. You need a bit of luck in the tournament as well so we'll see how far we can get."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Wootalyzer's Pricing Post! - The price of today's woot item is saved here for future reference------------------------------------------------------------NeatDesk Desktop Scanner$249.99 + $5 Standard ShippingCondition: Refurbished*DISCLAIMER* Wootalyzer! is in no way affiliated with Woot!, and this post may not always be here!
Hate to start the night with negativity, but the Fujitsu SnapScan 1500 is the sweet spot for personal scanners.
Not a fan of the NeatDesk Scanner.
Sorry Woot. No quality post for me!
I bought one a couple times back. Pretty cool...it scans fast and then does some processing in the background, which takes a long time...but you can unplug the scanner during this process. For the NCR forms that I use at work, I find that I have to feed one at a time manually...but for ordinary paper you can put a small stack in and let it go.
Wow, $255 for a used scanner, and it doesn't even support Linux? Will I find a pot of gold in the box?
SWEET! A mac option! Now we're talkin'!
Is this the first time that woot has offered the Mac version of the NeatDesk software?
Three stars on amazon, with very mixed reviews.
I bought this about 6 months ago. It works ok. My old Lenovo x61 task a long time to process the scans, but that could be an issue with my old computer. I will say that getting it to do double sided .pdf's is great...in theory, but if you have a blank page with a pattern to the background, it has issues. I followed the directions and turned on the blank page eliminator. That didn't fix the problem, but what did fix the problem, was stamping some text on those blank back pages. This worked well when I was scanning in a full years worth of bank statements from Bank of America. there would always be at least a couple of pages that didn't have text on the back.
so my parents have boxes and boxes of files, would this be a good Christmas present for them to get their house back in order, and saved from the paper monster?
NeatDesk ADF Scanner and Digital Filing System *REFURBISHED* - Today on Woot = $249.99 + $5 Shipping
Amazon-Refurb = $314.00 + $8.99 shipping
ecrater-Refurb = $309.99 + free shipping
ebay-Refurb = $349.99 + free shipping
Comparing 'apples to apples' or 'refurbished to refurbished' Woot wins price war by $55 over next lowest found competitor.
Ok... so if you get this scanner, you don't get that "I go against the grain because I use Linux from a USB key and use only a VPN to connect to my office... get all my software open-source.. and I support the EFF" feeling when you use this. I mean there's an infomercial on every night pushing these things with Mom using it to scan the kids crayon drawings, receipts and apple pie recipes on her kitchen counter... and it just can't hit those dpi's and lpi's you "think" you need to scan your 80's collection of Kodak 110 instamatic 3x5's. So it's just not "cool", right?
Well.. screw all of that, these things ROCK if you need to scan and file PAPERWORK. I'm talking office paperwork. Reports, quotes, invoices, sales receipts, faxes, bills... you name it. I have one on every desk at my company and it saves us SO much time and money.
I mfg plastic sign holders, like you see on the metal shelves at Costco with the magnet on the back? Mine... and a perfect example would be our paperwork with See's Candies, another customer. When we get an order from them, we get FAXED 7 pages of fine print and instructions which we sign and scan and email back, then they snail-mail different copies of these as well (I know.. believe me.. I've asked them not to, but they pay the bills, it's fine). Then we have to ship a pre-production sample of changes which all have notes, and more changes... and it's a mess. I seriously have 3 solid file drawers filled with their orders from just a few years.
Now? Fax comes in, sign.. scan, "shred" (we actually cut all papers into scratch paper pads). Mail comes in... scan and recycle. Production notes? Scan and file. It's very fast, very easy.
To make your life easier with this, toss their filing software out. Seriously. Use just the small tray app so you can drop pages into this, press the "PDF" button on the scanner, a dialog box pops up immediately on the PC, type a file name, press "save" and DONE. THAT SIMPLE. If you use a descriptive file name then this scanner and Google Desktop search, it's pure bliss.
They now call me and while on the phone.. "hey do you have the papers with the production notes on the part you did in June 2011, that counter easel 5x7?" I double-tap my CTRL key, Google lists all docs with my inquiry of "see's 5x7 june easel", I click the doc and within 20 seconds... I have that "pile" of paperwork in one merged PDF. I right click and send to my customer. DONE.
It's changed our office like our mobile phones have change how we organize and communicate. It's perfect. ... and that's my real-world, working office experience. You want to scan photos and artwork or 100 PPM? Find another scanner. Want an office scanner that just works, get this.
Whether you already have the scanner but on older version, or whether you want PC and Mac support: The manufacturer provides the downloads and even product keys free of charge at http://www.neat.com/support/neatproductkey and in their download section.
The whole idea that the Neat software needs a product key is kinda moot given that it only really works with a Neat scanner.

damn I can type a lot ;-) Ha...
By the way, I DO have two Fuji scanners at $600 a pop, and I "did" have an HP scanner as well... this seemingly no-comparison NeatDesk product just does the job SO much easier, without complicated settings or sensitive parts. It's a scanning "tank" that can take daily office abuse and the price is perfect. Get it. Then print my last message, scan it and save it under "long-ass posts". :-)
Hi! I love you guys! I hope for no interminable shipping delays... and...
jazzmotazzmo wrote:Hi! I love you guys! I hope for no interminable shipping delays... and...
um... sorry, uh, let's see... where was I now?... oh, yeah... what does this thing do again? It duplicates, or does it replicate? You know what would be cool is if it replicated duplicates and then shredded the originals right at the end so it could all go in the compost bin... Green World, eh?
I bought one of these and was very disappointed. You can add comments to your receipts but then you can't come back later and search on the comments.
I was also disappointed.
- Using the PDF option causes my computer to just shut down completely (power off). I went that route for portability/sharing with people that didn't have the software, or if the company goes bust and I lose the software, etc. etc.
- Okay, no problem I said, let's try their filing system, and I'll print to PDF if I need to share.
- Filename or other fields aren't autofilled.
- Can't search on the comments like another poster mentioned.
- I had too much legacy paperwork, and their scan-to-cloud rates are too high for "home" purposes.
Some good things, though:
- Feeder sizes do make paper handling easier.
- semi-vertical orientation makes things easier than a flat-bed.
Just went on sale today at OfficeDepot.com, new for $349.99
Good for those of us with club card dollars from recycling ink cartridges. Otherwise, I'd go for the Woot deal now.
Bought one of these a year or so ago and extremely disappointed with both the scanner and software. Had I not gotten busy I would have sent it back. It absolutely doesn't work as advertised. Probably one out of ten receipts scanned properly. The other nine required going into the software and correcting which made scanning a worthless exercise. You save a lot of time just setting up an excel spreadsheet and inputting your receipts manually because you're going to have to do that anyway and excel is much easier to use than the Neat software. This thing is worthless in my opinion.
Been using neat system for tracking the receipts, utilities, documents, etc, of an apartment business for several years. Inputting several thousand items every year.
The small bar scanner is very slow. Switched to the neat desk last year, scanning time has been cut to a fraction.
Although the NeatDesk software is great when it works and I like the portable version of the scanner, I had major issues with their MANY "upgrades" after Version 4. Version 5 was a disaster for Neat (just check their support forum) and I spent hours on the phone trying to get my database working. They blamed the problem on Microsoft (supposedly a .NET framework issue) so I had to install on another PC altogether. Plus the image database was corrupted. Maybe they've worked out these issues but I would beware.
Straight up people, don't deny yourself a great SCANNER because of the negative comments regarding particular individual software problems.
Each of the complaints I see here references a need that user has that the software couldn't fill. Sounds like a developer wish list is what's needed. So it is a double-sided scanner, it will scan a page that has a pattern on it. That's not what it would consider a "blank page". As well, if the OCR has trouble with your writing.... Maybe it's the writing, or the software? As for the issue of "won't search comments" ... Again, software issue.
The hardware is what's for sale here (yes, with their crap software included), and it's a fast... Excellent scanner.
All I can say is forget their software. It's a TWAIN scanner and you can use ANY software you want. I highly recommend you scan to PDF only. Into any folder you choose. Then, use Google Desktop Search or MS Search (excellent as well) and both of these search products are free and will search within your scanned PDF docs if set up properly.
Is this a good scanner? Yes. Its fast. Its simple to use. It scans two sides at once with excellent clarity. The feeder can handle all sorts of strange size documents.. and all at once at that. It's compact enough for every desk you sit at. It's so easy my Dad can use it (yes, one of those Dads... He still thinks his Apple AirPort is something the FAA needs to approve... and that's why I got him a Mac not a PC ... (offense meant ;-) )
Does the included software have issues that may not work perfectly for some users? Yes
Is that not true of all software? Usually.
Just my 2¢ ... Well actually, about a buck and a half by now.
Hmmm I don't get why this thing is 5x more than your average scanner.
I have an all-in-one machine with wifi that I paid $80 for.
Maybe you pay for the software? Still, I can drag n drop my scanned files into whatever folder I want in a second and mine came with OCR software so I can edit or notate.
I bought this during a woot a few months ago for the same price I believe. It's sitting on my desk now and I use it regularly. Mechanically, it's been flawless. It handles all sorts of sizes of paper and cards with not a single problem as yet. It does a good job at optical character recognition. I'd say nailing it about 85% of the time. It will automatically fill in a database with the vendor, price, tax, and guess a classification.
I also use it as a normal scanner for which it works fine scanning documents to PDF.
Overall I'm pleased with the purchase and would buy again.
I've got a Fujitsu S1300 scanner, which is the little brother of the S1500. The thing works like a dream.
Is this a good scanner? Yes. Its fast. Its simple to use. It scans two sides at once with excellent clarity. The feeder can handle all sorts of strange size documents.. and all at once at that. It's compact enough for every desk you sit at.
Thanks for all your insight and information.... will this feeder allow staples to be scanned?
or do the staples have to be removed first? credit card receipts are stapled to 8.5 x 11" receipts
I want to use this to scan files of double sided hand written chart notes to pdf. I'd like to scan in color as well... since many of the notes are in colored ink. I'm not concerned about searching the information... just need to be able to name the file to match the hand written file
each file is 25 to 50 pages so don't want to hand feed each sheet. there is a double punch in each paper (that is how I keep them in the file folder)
Does this bad boy scan directly to Evernote? That's the only software feature I need in a scanner.
Sorry, not a fan of Neat. Bought an earlier unit and was never able to get it to work. Tried to contact the compnay and they didn't care. Good luck getting support.
I've been using mine for 3/years, going on 4. BEST THING I EVER DID WAS GOING PAPERLESS. I had a problem with my first scanner, and Neat promptly replaced it. (5 Stars for customer service!)
Once you scan your receipt or document in, it's easy to export to iBank (or Quicken). Easy, easy, EASY!!!
Make your life easier: filing, taxes, locating old receipts, looking at your history of spending, etc.
(I'm almost tempted to buy this just to have as a back up... let me think about it!
popmaster wrote:so my parents have boxes and boxes of files, would this be a good Christmas present for them to get their house back in order, and saved from the paper monster?
I would say yes, but it is time consuming to do all that work.
Don't buy it for them if they aren't into computers already, because you have to be able to understand how to use it to your best benefits.
I use this for my small business... best thing I ever did. (Going on my 4th year of paperless.)

Yeah, helped people set up these things before. The software is a pain in the butt, they make you register for an account with them and ask for an uncomfortable amount of information in the process, just to install the drivers for the thing.
Then after the fact, well, you see other people's comments on the software.
The software really kills what could be an awesome scanner.
Fujitsu ScanSnap all the way.
I have to agree that the Fujitsu ScanSnap s1500 gives way more bang for the buck that the NeatDesk. For just over $400 new, it also includes a copy of Acrobat X Standard. My biggest problem with the NeatDesk scanner is that the software, top to bottom, is all proprietary. I really WANTED to like this scanner. I really DO like the ScanSnap S1500.

This thing would be useful if you deal with a lot of receipts. But I bought one a couple years ago and for the normal amount of receipts that a family generates it's not worth the money. It's much faster and easier to just keep the receipts in an accordion folder.
What's up BROTHER?
I bought one last time, it came and looked great, didn't work. After about 3 hours on tech line a 2nd neat scanner was sent out. A very worn well used used scanner was sent to replace the one I bought, It did not work, another 2 hours with tech line. I think it would be quicker to hand write everything and store it in a file cabinet. If you bought one, good luck. The 2 refurbished units I got never got refurbished.
I recommend the product as her is no other alternativ. The hardware is great. I have not experienced feeding issues or a any other for the past three years. The software on the other hand, is atrocious. It's prone to corrupt its database and there used to be a database size limit. It's happened to me four times in the past year and a half.
#!Backup your database on a regular preferably daily basis!# Especially if you use this for a business or mission-critical documents.

Hey fellow Star Wars fans.
I am having a Star Wars wedding very shortly. I have already purchased my outfit (Dual-Wielding Dark Jedi )
I am looking to gear up both of my groomsmen as clone troopers.
Does anyone have any recommendations for some decent costumes for my groomsmen?
I'm not looking for absolute movie standards, but the best costume available on the open net that I saw was a Deluxe Commander Rex with some rubber rubbish.
Thank you.
P.S I am a total newbie with costumes and such.
P.P.S I also heard the armor is hard or impossible to sit down in, is this the case?
