What can i use for the visor? The helmet is a rubies and i dont think the tvisor will fit. Plus with the work on the face plate it only needs to go to the base of my nose! All suggestions are welcome


text: Little skateycat starts kindergarten next week, and it is a very exciting time! The school lunches do not look awesome, unlike the ones at his preschool. So, most days we are going to send him with a lunch. So - we will be shopping for a lunchbox of some sort. The only restriction is that it must not have superheroes or other representations of popular culture. I am also looking for good ideas for lunches. What keeps well with maybe just a little ice pack?

If this is common knowledge then please ignore but I have found that regular old sandpaper works wonders on distressing clothing especially on edges, seams, pockets etc.
It wears the fabric down in the type of way that is likely to occur naturally.
The photos are the cape to my 12" Marmit Boba Fett figure. When it arrived the fabric was brand new looking. The damage you see is predominantly from sandpaper distressing.

We often hear of city comparisons. In my many years in Russia, I must have heard that St. Petersburg was the Venice of the North hundreds of times. Another is Paris. How many times have you heard "[Insert city] is the Paris of the [insert region]"? Actually, a quick search reveals that there are at least 11 cities that are "the Paris of the East." Some are quite surprising:

Do the sensible thing and save up enough money so you can live comfortably for two or three months and find work when you arrive. Show that you can stand on your own two feet in a foreign country a survive temporarily without work.
Too many people get it the wrong way round. They secure a job for crap pay in their home country, they don't come with enough cash to put a deposit on an apartment and they have to go cap in hand to their employer for an advance in their first month of work.
I've lost count to the amount of the amount of sorry individuals who ask to borrow money from me or the company because they didn't plan ahead.

In April, we turn back the clock to 1943 and focus on the lives of three lonesome brides living in rural Louisiana during World War II. Their husbands, all brothers, are off at war. In R. T. Robinson's THE COVER OF LIFE, when the editor of LIFE magazine decides to send a reporter to develop a story on this unique American family, they find that, surprisingly, they may all just end up on THE COVER OF LIFE.

Tood, Weetsie, and Sybill are brides in rural Louisiana in 1943. Each married a Cliffert brother. The men are off to war and a local news story about these young wives keeping the home fires burning intrigues Henry Luce. He decides that they belong on the cover LIFE Magazine and assigns Kate Miller to the story. She has been covering the war in Europe and, though she views doing a "women's piece" as a career set back, she accepts because it will be her first cover story. Kate spends a week with the Cliffert women and her haughty urban attitude gives way to sympathy as she begins to understand them while coming face to face with her own powerlessness in a man's world. Filled with charm and fun, THE COVER OF LIFE is a deeply affecting story about the struggle for self-worth.

As much as Hamilton brings to the table, I'm pretty sure it's one the Pistons would do..." which is pretty positive.He didn't know how Golden State would react, and the only negative he noted was that Hamilton's contract might put Utah off.He also told me that Dumars turned down a 3-way trade that WOULD have brought Boozer in, did not involve Golden State, and did not involve Hamilton. That's all he could tell me.For my impression, it sounds like that Prince to Portland, Boozer to Detroit, Bayless to Utah rumor was right on the money... but that Dumars nixed it" the trade he is refuring to in the first paragraph is a trade he had thought up of by him self.

'Ray's signing doesn't help the Sabres on the ice. He had five points last year – along with 200 penalty minutes. But it helps the team immensely in the community. At a time when the Sabres are struggling to stay in town, when their credibility is in question, they need a player like Ray on their roster. One that the fans love and identify with. One that cares about the city and its people.'

O've always enjoyed Logitech's wireless offerings.
I've currently got a Logi Wireless mouse, and my wife has a Logi wireless keyboard and mouse...
I've loved the 1000's since they came out, and have seriously comtemplated upgrading, and now, with a keyboard/mouse combo, the choice has gotten even more difficult.
The one thing that I will stand by, is that the keyboard is not a natural type keyboard.
I've got very large hands, and typing on regular keyboards causes me to trip over my fingers. The natural allows me to maintain my productivity, and relieve the pressure on my wrists and hands.
If this is not offerend in a Wireless Natural variant, then me and my current wireless mouse, and my wired MS Natural keyboard are going to keep on trucking!

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Each July, the 24 Hour Zine Challenge asks zinesters to create a 24-page zine from conception to final product in 24 hours straight. Zines should be of suitable size and technical difficulty so that this truly is a challenge for individual zinesters.
Website: http://24hourzines.com/
Members: 129
Latest Activity: Feb 12, 2016
To participate
please visit the Sign Up page of the Offical Website.
Send completed zines to:
Raven / 24 Hour Zine Thing
PO Box 2001
Abingdon, VA 24210
After your completed zine is received, you will receive a 24 Hour Zine Thing pin. We will post cover scans of the completed zines, as well as a review, on the website.
We are now on Facebook!

Interest has been expressed to organize a 24 Hour Zine Thing zine swap for the participants who finish their zine this month. In the past we have tried this but it hasn't turned out too well. Any…Continue
Started by Raven. Last reply by Raven Aug 5, 2012.
My zine pretty much met my criteria: more art than writing. It's a little perzine-y, a lot Jawbreaker-y heh. It's got a little color on pretty much every page.
If anyone would like to trade, email me at sxretton at gmail dot com. I'll also gladly accept $2, which you can send to PO Box 391, Madera, CA 93638.
you've got a friend in pennsylvania #5 is now finished!
having worked at in a warehouse for the past month and a half, i've spent a lot of time within a "boys' club" environment. daily struggles with hearing racist and sexist bullshit and making attempts to challenge the mindsets of those around me have left me defensive and drained. this zine, done in 24-ish hours for the dc zine fest, is about resisting militant masculinity on the job, learning how to more effectively call out shitty behavior, and how i have created a safer space for myself (and hopefully some others) at work. b&w, 1/4 size, 20 pages. includes original photography by yours truly! $1 or trade. if interested, please send me a message or e-mail youvegotafriendinpa(at)gmail(dot)com
@Deirdree - don't worry about it. Only the master copy of the 24 hour zine has to be completed during the 24 hour period in July - if you need to make extra copies or anything else after that time, that's completely fine!
And I know there has been a lot of talk on the forums about how strictly the rules are enforced, etc. Really as long as you create an entire 24 page zine during one consecutive 24 hour period during the month of July, your zine will qualify for the 24HZT, you will receive a pin and have your zine featured on the website. My only big thing is that this cannot be a compilation zine of things you have written over the past year or an art zine of your "best of" from the past few years. Everything that physically goes into the zine must be done within the 24 hour period.
Hope that clears some things up, and if you have any questions feel free to post them here or message me!
Today is the last day of the 2011 24 Hour Zine Thing! If you have not completed your zine yet, depending where you are in the world, you still have time to complete it!
reimagining queer community is a personal investigation into my evolving relationship to queerness, as well as some of the ways in which i navigate queer spaces around me. some of the topics in this zine include: alienation and estrangement from the queer community, what it means to feel connected, the myth of a cohesive queer community, being a spectator versus being a participant, (personal and shared) queer histories, and potential strategies to build new alliances.
this was my first attempt at making a twenty four hour zine. it is 20 pages, 1/4 sized and text heavy. i am asking for $1 or a trade. if you are interested, please email email@example.com.

From China and Taiwan to Singapore and Malaysia, Asians with strong Chinese roots observe Lunar New Year, from the first day and often up to the full 15 days thereafter. Korea and Vietnam also observe the lunar calendar. Customs vary from place to place, but food and family are always central. Learn about the traditions and cook up your own celebrations with the help of Martin Yan, Susanna Foo, Eileen Yin-Fei Lo, and others.
The Chinese New Year celebration starts with the New Moon on the first day of the new year (the date changes each year) and ends on the full moon 15 days later.
In many respects, the Chinese, Vietnamese and Koreans celebrate their New Year more like we celebrate Christmas. For about a month before the old year ends, and for the first two weeks of the new year, Asian families practice specific rituals, customs and celebrations in honor of the New Year, including gift-giving, decorations, worship, travel, parades, reunions and feasts....more @ Lunar New Year Customs, Recipes, & Cookbooks.

I first became acquainted with New Year customs through Martin Yan. Most people know Martin as the affable, wok-slinging, cleaver-wielding chef of television's Yan Can Cook series. Martin taught me how different foods—minced vegetables, the cupping of foods in lettuce leaves, and the presentation of oranges and tangerines—are used to suggest wealth and prosperity in the New Year....more @ Fun Facts on Lunar New Year.

One of the nation's top all-around midfielders, Edwards places in the top 30 in three different NCAA categories, leading the Griffs with a .635 faceoff percentage (125-of-197), 41 points, 27 assists and 80 ground balls. The Jamesville, New York native ranks first in the MAAC and sixth nationally in faceoff percentage, 15th in assists per game and 27th in ground balls per game. Edwards is the only top-line midfielder in the country to serve as his team's main face-off weapon and is also the only player to take 40 percent of his team's faceoffs and record at least 15 points during the season.
Edwards is just the second Canisius midfielder to earn first-team All-MAAC accolades on two occasions, joining Adam Jones – who earned the honor three times from 2008 to 2010. Edwards, who was also named to the All-MAAC Second Team in 2012 and collected the conference's Rookie of the Year, currently ranks 16th in school history with 112 career points and eighth with 65 career assists.
Donner becomes the third Griff defender to earn first-team all-conference honors, joining Dan Coates (2011) and Ryan O'Hagan (2012). A second-team All-MAAC selection a season ago, Donner leads the Griffs with 12 caused turnovers to go along with 25 ground balls. The North Tonawanda, New York native has anchored the league's top-ranked scoring defense at 9.14 goals per game.
In addition to the two all-conference performers, freshman midfielders Jeff Edwards and Lewis Vaccaro were all named to the MAAC All-Rookie Team.
Edwards netted eight goals and ranked second on the team with 11 assists for 19 points during his rookie campaign. A defensive midfielder, Vaccaro tallied two goals, eight ground balls and two caused turnovers in his freshman season for the Blue and Gold.
In addition, a total of 10 Griffs were also recognized for their work away from the field. Donner, Edwards and seniors DJ Giacobbo and Dylan Knopfke, juniors Sam Connors, Cody Gould and Austin Romantic and sophomores Ryan Bahn, Brendan Barren and Jeff Wilson were all recognized on the MAAC All-Academic Team.
Canisius finished the regular season tied for second in the MAAC standings. The Griffs take on top-seeded Siena on Thursday at 4 p.m. on the campus of Marist College.

Makes me feel less excited about my stormrider ESB blaster Ive been working on....very cool indeed.
Im still excited just less with all the aluminum, Cant wait to build another ROTJ blaster for myself
Fantastic build ;) Love it !
It feels for sure very real and heavy when you hold it . I´m jealous ^^
Very nice job!!!!!!!!!
Awesome work! Love it
****. That is insane! Great example of why having the right equipment pays off! >.< My PVC pipe barrel will have to do :(
Thanks guys, your nice comments are highly appreciated. :D
But to be honest, no, it doesn´t really pay off to have/buy the machines/equipment just to build this things. Not if building parts to not need to buy the parts is the only purpose of the equipment. It´s not only buying the lathe/mill, you have to double the price of the machine for buying the additional needed tools. It would be cheaper to buy the parts, or have them made, than making them yourself (with all needed/made expenses added honestly).
But it does pay off if you see the machining and building as a own hobby. If you feel the building as fun, not alone having the ready part available. Then it´s a very satisfying fun to make your own parts. ;) I like building things after spending the day in the office, it´s relaxing.
Nice job. Delrin was a good choice as it is the best machinable plastic around. I tried using other materials for my han solo blaster but found delrin worked best and didn't have any trouble making it. Delrin Sheet, Delrin Rod, Acetal Sheet, Acetal Rod
Beautiful blaster! :love Have you put it on a scale? I'm curious what it weighs.
My No 1 Mk I tips the scale right about 7 pounds, and I haven't even added anything to it yet.
Well impressed with your work ! Any advice in sourcingfor a uk based (in his 40s) newbie Boba builder
Ha! Error! Dang Kitchen scale!
That's is AMAZING! wish I could build something like that....nice work!
Amazing work..
Thanks guys, for your kind comments.
Amazing! Love the craftsmanship....
You do amazing work. The more I see here the more $$$ I picture going out the window as I try to build some of these amazing replicas.
Just stumbled upon the thread and wanted to restate how incredible those pieces are. It's awesome that your two hobbies overlap ... creating some neat products.
looks like a hasbro after all that

Excellent prompt attention, will hopefully be using again.
Quick and hassle free service
As I already had the part they took this into account. Fantastic service. They rang as a pipe burst to confirm it was ok to go ahead and replace this too. My cheapest quote by far. Highly recommend this garage. Fast service, ready when they said it would be even with them having to go to the dealer for a pipe. Brilliant service.
Quick and efficient
They were very quick at the job kept in contact throughout and informed me that it was not the clutch and got the parts that it was and delivered it back all in the same day as I was expecting it to take 2-3 days would use again just they forgot to email the invoice
Excellent service will be using again
Excellent all round service for the price. Would certainly recommend and use in the future.
They quoted a price and apart from a faulty head light which had to be added,;that's the price I paid. Collected and dropped off my car - great price, great job, great garage.
They actually charged me less then the quote as the brake fluid did not need changed. The guys at the garage were great, definitely will use them again
Quicky and easy, would definitely recommend!
Top service i would recommend to anyone
Knew what be was doing, fixed my problem in minutes.
Will recommend use normal autocentre!

We started growing hops before we got bees on our endless page fence and we warned about the proliferation. It really hasn't happened yet. This spring will be the third year of growth with five plants started we are down to three and will see how many survive the winter this year. We plan on planting more in the spring regardless of what the outcome is. Is there a way to propagate the plant to get multiples? We have about a couple thousand feet of fence to work with. Also do hops prefer sun or shade?
We grow ours up our silo on ropes and also up 2 power pole with ropes run up to eyebolts.
QuoteWe grow ours up our silo on ropes and also up 2 power pole with ropes run up to eyebolts. Hey that might be an idea for our pole in the garden.
As a... hops grower... I can... answer some of this... They [hops] are as easy to grow as weeds... You MUST... contain them in the home garden as within 2 years you will have runners everywhere , just like Bamboo... growing up to a foot a day...

Hi Forum,
This is my first post here, please help.
I'm Thai so i have access to some material from buddhadasa indapanno's which are unfortunately not translated into other languages yet. Anyway, Buddhadasa stressed so much on non-self. He went so far as to state that it's ultimately the main goal of us practitioners.
Yesterday on my session, i experience the 'self' of mine very vividly. This experience of self is so solid and real almost as if i can touch it. I felt that i am, having body, having my family, my wife, my 2 daughters, my home, etc... i mean Come on! Non-self? Why is the self so real?
This is my question. What is this not-self that Buddhism speak off. Is it
1.) a conceptual understanding that this life is finite, is ever changing, so it is not worth clinging to?
2.) an experience where you can actually see 'self' dissolving, disintegrating before your eyes?
3.) non of the above.
Than you for reading my questions.

It took a while to arrive, but it was worth it. I love it. I was looking for a flowing gown similar to a vintage style, one of my friends found in a second hand store. This is lovely, whimsical, and shiny. It is hand wash only and does look very delicate. I wear a size 0 in a dress, X Small in a top and size 25 in jeans. The dress fits me perfect, I cant imagine it would fit someone with a chest or hips. My sister is very curvy and wears a size 8-10 and cannot wear this dress. So I think the size needs to say it is a junior size Extra Small to Small. There is a big difference. and also I wear a 32-A in a bra and the top fits me perfect.

Recitation Hall will be the first building that you visit when you arrive at Wittenberg, as it houses the admission and financial aid offices. Affectionately called "Reci," it was the second building constructed on campus.
Built in 1883, Reci housed classes and the college literary societies, as well as the campus chapel.
Today, Reci serves as the university's main administration building with offices of the president, provost, registrar, university communications and the business office. Human resources is located in the basement.
The annex behind the building was added during the 1950s and contains the university police/security headquarters, the campus switchboard and the motor pool office.


text: That really is a great article to read, not just for gardeners. I guess it could also be applied in a very general sense to the "toxins" sent out by some plants to repel animals and other insects. Gardeners have planted these types of plants around the edges of their gardens for a long time to keep certain animals and bugs out. Huum...I wonder if they could be used around the edges of the apiary?

The sad story of what happened to private Jordan Fox continues to unravel despite Pentagon efforts to bury their mistake. The Department of Defense today stated unequivocally that military personnel wounded in action would not have to repay any portion of their enlistment bonus and claimed the letter to Private Fox was a clerical error. However, Senator Schumer of New York claims similar letters were sent to other wounded soldiers indicating this was a policy, not a clerical mistake. Furthermore, Jordan Fox pointed out a week after receiving the first letter another one came threatening that interest would be charged if he didn't repay the money. Senator Schumer is going to push for a Veterans Guaranteed Bonus Act to prevent such further "mistakes."
If an unbiased observer reviewed what has happened to protection of veterans and fighting men and women since Democrats gained control of Congress he/she would discover that dramatic efforts have been made to safeguard military rights. The Democrats pushed through a 3.5% raise in pay despite opposition from Bush who claimed it was excessive, spouses of wounded soldiers are now protected against being fired if they must take time off to care for their spouse, and funding has been raised for Post Traumatic Stress treatment. Yet, right wing groups like Fox News continue claiming Democrats are not "supporting our fighting men and women."
If anyone reading this story wants further information about rights of wounded military personnel they can contact: 1-800 984-8523.

The end of the Obama firearm "surge"
Blog ››› ››› ALEX LAWSON & CHRIS BROWN
Since the election of President Obama, conservative media figures such as Glenn Beck, Ann Coulter, and G. Gordon Liddy have advanced the false narrative that Obama is going to "take away your gun." This media hype quickly created a classic bubble in the market for guns and ammunition.
In a typical segment on the subject from April 6, 2009, Glenn Beck stated on his radio show that the president would:
Slowly but surely take away your gun or take away your ability to shoot a gun, carry a gun. He will make them more expensive; he'll tax them out of existence. He will because he has said he would. He will tax your gun or take your gun away one way or another.
This fearmongering by the conservative media followed a $15 million campaign by the National Rifle Association (NRA) attacking Barack Obama during the 2008 presidential election. As documented by Factcheck.org, the NRA campaign included a series of attacks that badly distorted Obama's actual policy positions:
A National Rifle Association advertising campaign distorts Obama's position on gun control beyond recognition.
The NRA is circulating printed material and running TV ads making unsubstantiated claims that Obama plans to ban use of firearms for home defense, ban possession and manufacture of handguns, close 90 percent of gun shops and ban hunting ammunition.
But as people have realized that the Obama administration has no covert plans to institute sweeping gun seizures, gun sales have fallen dramatically. In addition, executives say that many of the guns bought in reaction to Obama's election are now being re-sold on the secondary market, further depressing new gun sales. Public-earnings calls by two industry leaders detail the magnitude of the fear-based bubble that was created and perpetuated by the conservative media.
Sturm, Ruger & Co., Inc.
On their third quarter earnings call Sturm, Ruger & Co. announced that their earnings fell a nickle a share, from $0.37 per share to $0.32 per share (a 14 percent drop), due largely to a lack consumer demand. On an October 28 earnings conference call, Michael Fifer, the company's CEO, explained the drop like this (registration required):
FIFER: We're pleased with this year's third quarter sales and earnings compared with those in 2009 because the third quarter of 2009 benefited from the post-election surge in demand to some degree.
FIFER: We see our own sell-through of auto-loading rifles in the third quarter has declined year over year, which is an expected outcome of the post surge market place. But we're hearing that there's a flood of very new used auto-loading firearms at retail. Some of the consumers who rushed out to buy these firearms last year are back in the stores converting these firearms to cash. And current buyers can choose from an array of slightly used auto-loading rifles at discounted prices as well as all the new auto-loading rifles. Our distributors are telling us that they do not believe we have lost any market share, and that may be true when considering only new firearm sales, but it is likely that used firearms took an increased share of the total firearms transactions during the quarter, and our sell-through numbers do not reflect used gun transactions.
Smith and Wesson
Firearms company Smith and Wesson discussed the now dissipated gun purchase surge during their December 8th earnings call. Smith and Wesson President and CEO Michael Golden and President of Firearms Business James Debney told investors (registration required):
GOLDEN: The consumer environment with the firearms industry appears to have returned to levels no longer driven by fear of increased gun control or political uncertainty. This is supported by our recent research which shows that consumer purchasing today is driven primarily by personal protection and shooting sports. Political concerns are now a distant fourth. This is reflected in our current sales in most firearms categories, which are lower than the record sales last year for both the industry and our company.
DEBNEY: Indications are that the consumer firearms market has now moderated following the post-election surge that started in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 and ended during the second quarter of fiscal 2010. As a result, our handgun sales were slightly down, while our tactical rifle and Walther products were significantly reduced compared to the prior year quarter.
Smith and Wesson's Michael Golden indicated that reduced demand for firearms is an industry-wide phenomenon, saying: "We are continuing to operate under challenging industry conditions with reduced consumer spending and difficult year-to-year comparisons to prior year surge levels."

Click for "Microbes After Hours" videos
You may not encounter any microbiologists in your everyday activities or even know of anyone who works as a microbiologist. But the efforts of thousands of these scientists to better understand our planet's microscopic inhabitants affect you in many ways every day.
Microbiologists' research helps keep your food from making you sick and your drinking water clean and safe.
They track down the culprits behind mysterious new illnesses and harness microbes' abilities to make medicines, industrial enzymes, food ingredients, and many other useful products.
Microbiologists work behind the scenes in hospital labs to pinpoint the germ making you sick so your doctor can prescribe the right treatment, and they figure out the basic workings of infectious microbial cells so that drug makers can devise potent new medicines.
They solve environmental problems by using microbes in bioremediation, and they explore oceans, caves, deserts, and even Antarctica's ice to learn how microbes affect the workings of our planet.
You might expect to find microbiologists working at research universities or in the sprawling complexes of pharmaceutical companies. But microbiologists also work in the food industry, water treatment, agriculture, pollution control, biotechnology, energy development, museum preservation, and many other disciplines.
Microbiologists also find jobs in government agencies and labs, such as the National Institutes of Health and the Environmental Protection Agency.
Because there are so many different species of microbes out there and they do such very different things, no one microbiologist can study every kind of microorganism. Microbiologists and other scientists who study microbes usually focus on a particular microbe or research area.
Here are a few examples:

A growing body of research finds that mothers and other caretakers experience disadvantages in the workplace. Professor Correll will present recent research that uncovers the social psychological mechanisms producing these disadvantages. Her argument demonstrates how "family friendly" laws that prohibit discrimination against workers who take family leave can mitigate these biases. Professor Correll will present experimental evidence that supports this argument and shows that law is more effective than voluntary organizational policies in counteracting the disadvantages caretakers experience at work. She concludes with a discussion of how workplaces can more effectively reduce the caretaker penalty.

Did you notice changes with each pregnancy?
I was just reading this article about having babies the second time around. The section regarding pregnancy the second time around was interesting. I found that I did feel my baby's movements earlier in my second pregnancy than I did with my first. I also did have nausea each time I was pregnant, and it did seem to vary in intensity. I also think I looked pregnant sooner with my second pregnancy than I did with my first.
Did you notice any changes between your first and second pregnancy?
If you have more than two children, were there other differences in how you felt or what you experienced with each pregnancy?

Yes I did as well, I felt my baby move early and that is because we know what to actually look for after we has our first one. I also was able to know when and where he was. I have not had him yet, but there are a lot of things that I find easier and better, except the bending down to pick up things part lol. I tell you I think that I am a little bigger than I was with my first son.

I also noticed my baby moving earlier the second time around. I found the nausea much worse and I had a lot more discomfort. However I loved being pregnant and felt a lot more confident. I think this was due to knowing what to expect.

each of my pregnancies have been very similiar. i did feel bubs moving earlier, but i think it's because i knew what to expect. i also popped out a lot sooner with each of my babies. i am 15wks at the moment but look much further along. i joke that its because nothing is a tight as it should be after 8 babies...lol. i have found late pregnancy easier the more i have as i know bubs will come when its good & ready no matter how much you try to speed things up.

My rotor doesn't jam.
Oh your cool lol, jk man.
I was using Graffiti with it but I was just drop testing in it, I haven't used it on a gun yet because mine is at the factory but we will see when it comes back. I did lower the tension and it did jam still. The paint is a little what you might say sticky because I used it at a practice where it was around 100 degrees

I've noticed that in the event of jams, my rotor spins enough through the anti-jam, that the trigger is almost useless. I go to un-jam, and the trigger is loose through its whole travel, meaning I have to actually empty out the paint, and physically dislodge the paint stuck in the arms.
Thats exactly what mine is doing! Its weird because my other Rotor I had did not do this
Posted 12 July 2012 - 02:03 PM
Seems that the Rotor needs some tension in the ball stack.

Letter from the SAAC Chair, Kristina Hoppe...
Hello! Welcome to the Student Athlete Advisory Committee page of the America East Conference website. The SAAC is the vehicle for student-athlete input into NCAA sports, and your SAAC representatives are integral parts of the Conference because they serve as liaisons between other student athletes and athletics administrators. SAAC gives student-athletes an opportunity to better their experiences in their schools, communities and throughout the Conference by giving them a voice. In America East, the administrators truly care about the views and experiences of student-athletes, and the Conference keeps us busy with new goals and encourages ideas of our own.
In addition to academics, competition and college life, our SAAC representatives have two annual meetings in which we meet to discuss legislation, regulations, and character values that we seek to adhere to and exemplify throughout the Conference. One of these values that has special promise for the America East Conference is community outreach and participation. We are students not only of our respective schools, but also of our respective communities. All nine America East schools will be participating with the College For Every Student program, with athletes serving as mentors to elementary and middle school students, with the goal of encouraging and enabling those students to pursue their education after high school. Other programs, such as Special Olympics, offer America East student-athletes the opportunity to enhance their experience by sharing their gifts with others. Each year we strive to partner up with more programs and organizations that help us to better serve and interact with our communities.
Being visible in the community is a priority of the America East Conference. SAAC continues to help brainstorm ways to achieve this goal, and your suggestions are encouraged!
If you have any questions about the Student -Athlete Advisory Committee please contact Jessica Descartes, Assistant Commissioner for the America East Conference, or myself, Tina Hoppe, America East SAAC Chair. Thank you for visiting our page and be sure to come back soon!
America East SAAC Mission Statement:
History of the AEC Student-Athlete Advisory Committee:
The initial committee was comprised of one student-athlete from each member institution ensuring that the student-athlete voice accounted for the myriad of educational and athletics experiences of both female and male student-athletes at all AEC member institutions. A member from the committee also represents the AEC on the NCAA Division I National SAAC.
In April of 2007, the Conference began the process of establishing membership requirements. In September of that year, the Conference decided to recommend that two representatives from each school be elected; it was preferred that participants were chosen from different seasons with hopes of all sports being represented and with careful consideration given for gender and ethnic diversity. The Conference also decided to assign two alternates from each institution with the intent of always having two representatives at every meeting.
Each school is responsible for nominating at least four student-athletes to represent their institution on the Conference SAAC. The AEC will select two student-athletes from each institution as its representatives, and the other two will serve as alternates. One student-athlete from the SAAC will continue to represent the AEC on the NCAA Division I National SAAC.

One of the most important management decisions you will make is the selection of a new employee. What can you do to help ensure that you get the best person available? What are your responsibilities in the hiring process? The purpose of this Recruitment Procedures Manual is to help answer these questions by providing an overview of the policies, procedures and responsibilities for which the hiring supervisor will be accountable.
Your role at the beginning of the hiring process is critical. This vacancy creates an opportunity for you to rethink how your department goes about getting its work done - make sure you know what you want, and design the search process accordingly.
The primary goals in filling a vacancy are to hire qualified talented individuals who have an institutional fit and meet the current departmental needs; to increase the representation of staff from diverse ethnic groups and to encourage career growth of current staff members.
Wittenberg's commitment to developing a diverse workforce prompts us to take positive steps to recruit, hire, train and promote qualified individuals from diverse ethnic backgrounds. For example, we must generate applications from members of minority groups, rather than simply waiting to receive them; be flexible in defining positions; and be willing to provide the necessary training and support. In this sense, diversity management goes beyond equal employment opportunity, which requires employers to eliminate discriminatory conditions.
The university's strength over its long history is based on the quality of its faculty, staff and students and their efforts to excel. The quality of our people determines the quality of the university. Careful consideration and attention to the hiring process are essential to maintaining our standard of excellence.

Fantasy Baseball Morning Update: Closer confusion for White Sox
Josh Hamilton had five hits, including four home runs, along with four runs, eight RBI and 18 total bases last night. He might be pretty good one of these days.
There was no streaming starter result yesterday, as Brandon McCarthy had his start pushed back until Saturday due to a minor shoulder issue. Tonight, we'll go with Pittsburgh's Erik Bedard (owned in 8.9 percent of FOXSports.com leagues) against the depleted Nationals.
On to the news:
- Remember back in the old days, when Chris Sale was named as the White Sox' closer? Oh, right, that was last week. Sale entered last night's game during the eighth inning to face left-handed Johnny Damon with two runners in base, gave up an unearned run, and came out after the frame with the game tied. Later, Addison Reed got the save in the 10th. After the game, both Sale and pitching coach Don Cooper left the door open for Sale's return to the rotation this season. South Side Sox is really confused, and so am I. If you own Reed, hold tight. Also, I think White Sox manager Robin Ventura is becoming the Mike Shanahan of fantasy baseball, using anti-fantasy subterfuge to drive us crazy.
- Dale Thayer got his second consecutive save last night for the Padres. The 31-year-old Thayer has 173 career minor-league saves, and I guess we can call him the leader of the Padres' bullpen committee during Huston Street's absence.
- Brewers OF Ryan Braun aggravated his injured Achilles last night, and is questionable for today's game.
- Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina bruised his left hand last night, but probably won't need a trip to the DL. Don't expect Molina to play today.
- Speaking of today, there are four day games on the schedule, including Reds-Brewers at 1:10 p.m. ET. Set your lineups accordingly.
- Cliff Lee is scheduled to come off the DL to start tonight for the Phillies. Start Lee if you have him.
- Andy Pettitte will make his first start of the season on Sunday against the Mariners.
- Carlos Beltran hit his ninth and 10th homers of the season last night. I like Beltran, but did anyone see this coming?
- Red Sox 3B Will Middlebrooks left last night's game due to some cramping in his hamstring. You should consider him day-to-day.
- Giants OF Angel Pagan also suffered a hamstring cramp last night, and isn't expected to play tonight.
- A's OF Yoenis Cespedes was scratched last night with a sore hand, and will have an MRI today.
- Jon Rauch notched last night's save for the Mets, but since Frank Francisco had pitched on each of the three previous days, you shouldn't think much of it.
- Have you listened to this week's Fantasy 15 podcast yet? Mike Harmon and I would appreciate it. We discussed more closer mayhem, along with Bryce Harper and some streaming starter ideas.
- The Rays aren't sure when OF Desmond Jennings (sprained knee) will return to the lineup, so they recalled Brandon Guyer from Triple A. AL-only owners might find that interesting, but since the Rays like to use their whole roster, don't look for Guyer to play every day, even in the short term.
- Two walks, a hit, two strikeouts and a scoreless inning in David Robertson's first save of the post-Mariano era? That sounds about right.
- Bobby Abreu's arrival has helped to make James Loney a platoon player for the Dodgers. If anyone deserves to be platooned, it's Loney.
- Southpaw Christian Friedrich will make his major league debut tonight against the Padres. Friedrich, 24, had a 5.00 ERA at Double A last season. Is everyone excited?
- FOXSports.com's Ken Rosenthal quotes a scout as saying that Reds 3B Scott Rolen's bad hitting is more than just a slump.
See you back here tomorrow morning.

Hurricane Spin
V+S find that the IPCC AR4 models produce an decrease in shear near the equator and an increase in the subtropics. Over the 'Main Development Region' for Atlantic hurricanes, the results are mixed and, to our eyes at least (see Figure 2), don't provide a compelling argument for hurricane activity reductions. However, the conclusions rest heavily on something that is not robust at present; the prediction of mean changes in the Walker circulation. As we have discussed in some detail, this latter issue rests upon considerations that take us to the heart of where the models are currently at their weakest–getting marine stratocumulus clouds right, producing a realistic intertropical convergence zone in the tropical Pacific, producing realistic Kelvin wave behavior in the tropical Pacific ocean–things that are all critical for an accurate representation of the Bjerknes feedbacks which are, in turn, so central to the mean state and variability of the Walker circulation (and El Niño). It is conceivable that the various simulations in the AR4 ensemble analyzed by V+S are at the same time mostly in agreement, and yet wrong, in what they predict for future Walker circulation changes. The prediction of increased wind shear in the tropical Atlantic is no better than the underlying predictions in the models of Walker circulation changes.
Figure 2. Average of 18 models changes in Genesis Potential Index (GPI) of hurricanes for 2081-2100 (IPCC A1B scenario). GPI includes the effects of heating and wind shear. (Update: figure updated to fig 4d from the paper.)
Furthermore, the fact is (as shown in Figure 1) that hurricane intensity has increased in recent decades as SST has risen (at least in the North Atlantic for which trends are most reliable) and this prediction is based on fairly fundamental and robust thermodynamic arguments explored by Emanuel and others for decades now. Emanuel (2005) makes a compelling case that the warming ocean temperatures (and associated changes in atmospheric temperature and humidity profiles) are behind the increased TC intensity in the Atlantic. Independent analyses, such as those described in the Santer et al PNAS article, show that this warming is inconsistent with natural variability, i.e. it is likely only explainable in terms of anthropogenic forcing. That would seem to close the loop on the argument that anthropogenic forcing is likely behind a substantial component of the observed increased intensity of Atlantic TCs. So the observational evidence thus far is not in favour of increased shear preventing this increase in intensity.
This view is echoed by Kerry Emanuel in comments on the paper in the Washington Post, where he suggests that the impact of wind shear changes relative to warming SSTs in the real world, as diagnosed from trends observed thus far, may be overstated by the V+S study:
Emanuel, who was not involved in this research, said he published a study last year that calculated that increasing the potential intensity of a storm via warming by 10 percent increases hurricane power by 65 percent, whereas increasing shear by 10 percent decreases hurricane power by only 12 percent.
In the same WaPo article, Chris Landsea discusses these projections into the future as if they had relevance to the attribution of past change. While this mistake is often made, it is nonetheless incorrect. Attribution can only be done using simulations and observation of the period in question.

Cigarette butts to blame for scrub fires
14/03/2013 , 6:07 PM by Jamie Burnett
We often hear about the many scrub fires that spark up across Western Australia, but what is it that starts them?
The Department of Fire and Emergency Services says that since December last year, 320 fires have started with a cigarette butt.
That's around six a day.
Have a listen to some of the DFES scanner calls reporting these fires, followed on by ABC Mornings Geoff Hutchison speaking with Gary Baxter, Fire Investigation Officer with DFES.
You can follow this conversation by subscribing to the comment feed for this post.
Geoff, what a fantastic piece you brought to light! I agree the fines are too small when the possibility of consequences is large.
The last thing we need with a rising carbon dioxide level causing climate change is for yet more unnecessary carbon to be released into the atmosphere.
My sadness comes when our beautiful bushland and wildlife are burnt. That scrub should be home to a diversity of plants and animals. Sadly the diversity of both is diminishing due to over burning and at the wrong time.
I care for our little remaining natural areas in Mosman Park. Somehow we have managed to hang onto more riverside vegetation than found on most of the Swan River. The only furry animals we have left here have been those able to fly, microbats.
Reptiles have done the best of our wildlife since Europeans arrived.
Although I volunteer each week in our bushland I do not see the reptiles that were trapped on a fauna survey one year ago. Because of the nature of these reptiles most people would have no idea of their existence.
How can we look after and respect the bushland if we know nothing about it?
WA has a disneyland of flora and fauna and it's worth saving.
I came to be looking after MP bushland because two fires with in five years nearly decimated it. Weeds took over. Banksia's from the first fire did not get old enough to have seeds before the second fire went through. This is how easy it is to lose the bushland.
Great topic Geoff, I'm glad you brought it to our attention.

Damon J. Keith Center for Civil Rights and Arthur Neef Law Library Host Traveling Art Exhibit
DETROIT (Nov. 23, 2009) – The Damon J. Keith Center for Civil Rights and the Arthur Neef Law Library are pleased to host a traveling art exhibit titled "Jacob Lawrence and The Legend of John Brown." The exhibit, designed to display digital images of 22 silkscreen prints with accompanying text that tells the story of abolitionist John Brown, will be open to the public through mid-January 2010.
"We are honored to join the Damon J. Keith Center for Civil Rights in hosting this extraordinary exhibit," said Virginia Thomas, director of the Arthur Neef Law Library. "Its powerful images convey the spirit of the early Abolitionist Movement. I doubt that anyone could view this exhibit and not be moved by it."
Added Keith Center Director and Wayne Law Professor Peter Hammer, "The Keith Center for Civil Rights is committed to facilitating public education and dialogue on issues of race and civil rights. John Brown is a complex and enigmatic figure. In the hands of an artist as gifted as Mr. Lawrence, the saga of John Brown takes on powerful, mythic dimensions."
Wayne State University first displayed "The Legend of John Brown" at the opening of the Undergraduate Library in 1997. For more information on this exhibit, please contact the Arthur Neef Law Library at (313) 577-6181.
About the artist
According to the display brochure, Jacob Lawrence "produced works of art marked with a sense of the human struggle for dignity and the fight for freedom and justice. It was in his dramatic graphic biographies of abolitionists such as John Brown, Frederick Douglass and Harriet Tubman that Lawrence combined his powerful visual language with the remembered stories of legendary civil rights figures he read about while growing up in 1930s Harlem."
This project is a collaboration between the Wayne State University Art Collection and the Wayne State University Library System, with the assistance of Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) graduate student interns, and was made possible with funding from the Detroit Area Library Network (DALNET).
The Damon J. Keith Center for Civil Rights
Judge Damon J. Keith's life has been dedicated to fighting for justice and opportunity. The Keith Center, made possible through generous gifts from individuals, corporations and foundations, will allow that work to continue at Wayne Law. The Center will help the Law School attract and retain outstanding students, support and strengthen its faculty, enhance programming, and promote civil rights in one of the most culturally rich and diverse cities in the United States.
Wayne Law
Wayne State University Law School has educated and served the Detroit metropolitan area since its inception as Detroit City Law School in 1927. Located at 471 West Palmer Street in Detroit's re-energized historic cultural center, the Law School remains committed to student success and features modern lecture and court facilities, multi-media classrooms, a 250-seat auditorium, and the Arthur Neef Law Library, which houses one of the nation's 40 largest legal collections. Taught by an internationally recognized and expert faculty, Wayne Law students experience a high-quality legal education via a growing array of hands-on curricular offerings, client clinics, and access to well over 100 internships with local and non-profit entities each year. Its 11,000 living alumni, who work in every state of the nation and more than a dozen foreign countries, are experts in their disciplines and include leading members of the local, national and international legal communities.

Putting my hives against each other for winter seems to work better than trying to wrap or insulate.
When you calculate R-value, the tree is wet during winter.
Wrapping just makes them wet all the time
When you insulate, you must ventilate, think about how your house is constructed, tremendous amout of moisture produced, that must escape generally through 8 or 10 inches of insulation in the overhead and out some type of roof vents..I have been in attics not properly vented that had several inches of frost on the rafters, a warm up can ruin ceilings in these cases, same with bee boxes, I construct mine the same way I used to do houses..dl
Yes its true, if humans want to dry (heat?) 'our' houses we raise the temp w/ fossil fuels or more rarely, sunlight, wind or the earth itself. Such 'artificial' heat generated inside an enclosed area generally makes the surrounding air dryer. That's True, true, true. But what if it were just a bunch of humans in an 'un-heated' dwelling? People do generate 'some' heat, but whether its gonna be "life supporting" heat for months on end and no working plumbing, is highly debatable for sure. AND this heat that humans create has loads of moisture from respiration (like bees), so that would definitely affect condensation levels in this unheated space. Would they be advised to open a window to let this moisture out? Even at 30 below zero? Yikes, do we still wanna compare bees and people?...
However, on a lighter side, it is NOT true that clothing needs high temps to dry :?. All one needs is bright sunshine, they'll still dry just fine (maybe a little stiff) when temps are well below freezing and hung on a line in the yard. Try it 8-)
I'm sure that full insulation and limited ventilation works there. I don't think the extra insulation is necessary in North Carolina where a little ventilation is a much cheaper option.
The trouble we always seem to have is in anthropomorphism. While it's true you wouldn't want to open a window in a room full of people without an external source of heat, it would depend on the number of people, the volume of the room and the size of the window. Take into account the number of individuals in a Beehive.In a room of humans, you wouldn't have them hanging from the walls, the rooms would be shallow and spread out increasing the surface area, and everyone would probably be keeping personal space unlike bees who can't seem to get enough of each other.In my beehives, I'll close the entrances down to about 1 or 1 1/2 x 3/8 inches, and have a 3/4 or 1 x 1/4 inch vent in the top cover farthest from the entrance. The amount of air exchange is not going to be that large. The cross-section of that "chimney" is somewhere around 1/3 an inch^2 (2cm^2). The volume of a single deep and shallow super is 2.5 cubic feet (71 Liter).
