The African warthog belongs to the family Suidae. Suidae includes 19 species in 6 genera distributed throughout Europe, Asia and Africa. These Old World wild pigs, along with New World peccaries and African hippos, make up the sub-order suina of even-toed ungulates. Suina are mostly omnivores with short legs, tusk-like canines and four toes in contrast to the more numerous species of long-legged, ruminant herbivores. Wild pigs in the New World and Australia, for example the Arkansas razorback, are introduced domesticated species that became feral.
Warthogs, a single species or two? Paleontologists long recognized two distinct species, but for years both scientific and popular culture combined them. Current research recognizes two warthog species, the African or Common warthog (Phacochoerus africanus) and the Desert, Cape or Somali warthog (Phacochoerus aethiopicus). They share most characteristics and even inhabit some common range. Key differences occur in skull size and features, and dentition with incisors present in the African and absent in the Desert warthog. Some sources still treat the two species indiscriminately. Identification of regional sub-species requires further research.
The extensive range of the African warthog includes most of sub-Saharan Africa. It stretches across central Africa from east to west and almost to the southern tip. This huge area encompasses the ranges of other wild pigs. Both warthog species live in the Horn of Africa but the Desert warthog inhabits the more arid areas of Somalia, Ethiopia and Kenya. The Giant forest hog and Red river hog live mostly in tropical rainforests but also in some warthog range in Central Africa. The African bush pig shares much of the Common warthog's eastern and southern African range.
Warthogs inhabit moist and arid savannas, as well as open scrublands and woodlands usually near surface water. Unlike most wild pig species, warthogs avoid thickets and forests.
Warthogs share characteristics typical in wild pigs. They possess medium-sized, barrel-shaped bodies and short legs. They have short necks, longish heads, small eyes, prominent snouts ending in a disk-like nose, and tusks which are upturned lower canines. Males generally have both larger tusks and warts than females and are much larger in size and weight.
Warthogs have some distinctive features. Their heads are very large and as their name indicates, they possess prominent warts with the suborbital pair especially long in males. Their dentition differs from other wild pigs with incisors adapted for grazing and the first two molars replaced by an elongated third molar. The upper canines grow into a long curved tusks and the lower canines protrude forward. Warthog weight places them in the middle between the smallest Pygmy hog of northern India at 13 - 20 pounds (6 - 9 kg) and the Giant forest hog weighing 286 - 605 pounds (130 - 275 kg). Warthogs have longer legs compared to most wild pigs and can run very rapidly.
Head and body length: 3 - 5 feet (1 - 1.5 m)Shoulder height: 25 - 33 inches (63.5 - 84 cm)Tail length: 9 - 17 inches (23 -43 cm)Upper canine tusk length: Male 10 - 35 inches (25.5 - 89 cm); Female 6 - 10 inches (15 - 25.5 cm)Wart length: up to 6 inches (15 cm)Adult weight: 110 - 330 pounds (50 - 150 kg); Females 15 - 20% lessBirth weight: 1 - 2 pounds (.45 - .9 kg)
In the wild 7 up to 18 years; in captivity 14 - 18 years.
In the wild: Mostly herbivorous. Eats mainly grasses, but roots, tubers, bulbs, berries and bark of young trees during dry seasons. Will eat carrion and even dung of various herbivores.
At the zoo: Herbivore pellets( grain), grass hay, fruits and vegetables.
Warthogs become sexually mature between 18 to 20 months; however, males usually lack experience and strength to breed successfully until 4 years of age. A few months after the rainy season ends, females enter estrus and attract male attention by urinating in a hunched position. Both sexes may have multiple mates. Males compete for breeding rights with frontal head butts protected by the facial warts. Usually the loser runs off squealing and unharmed; however, a rare slash from a lower tusk could be fatal. The winner courts the female with rhythmic chants. He nudges and sniffs her, does lateral displays and rests his head on her rump. This continues until she stands for mating.
Births occur during the dry season after a gestation of almost 6 months (170 - 175 days), the longest of all pigs. The sow isolates herself and farrows (gives birth to a litter) in a burrow. The small litter averages 2 to 4, but up to 8. The tiny altricial piglets require the protective warmth of the burrow and the sow during their first days. They emerge from the burrow after 6 to 7 weeks, begin grazing by two months, and wean by five or six months. Warthogs have a single litter each year timed to the rainy and dry seasons. By two years, young females begin breeding and live in a sounder (wild pig social group). Sounders may contain a single female or related adult females and offspring. Two year old males leave their sounders to live in a bachelor group or alone. Older males usually lead solitary lives and only join sounders during breeding season.
Eating: Life on the savanna alternates between rainy and dry seasons. After the rains, the savanna erupts with new vegetation. Warthogs have special adaptations for eating grasses. With very short necks and relatively long legs for pigs, how do warthogs reach the short new shoots? They kneel on their wrist joints. Hard callous pads form there enabling warthogs to shuffle along for extended periods while feeding. They graze using their lips and unique sharp incisors. During dry periods, warthogs use their front feet and mobile, strong snouts to uproot grass rhizomes, bulbs and tubers from the hard dry soil. These foods may provide them with water. Warthogs can survive extended periods without drinking water during the dry season.
Heating: Behavioral adaptations provide for temperature variations. Warthogs have no layer of sub-cutaneous fat. For warmth, they huddle together in underground burrows. While they could use their snouts to excavate, warthogs commonly use large abandoned aardvark dens and may even line them with grass. Pigs have no sweat glands for cooling. Warthogs live near water holes that provide mud wallows for cooling during the heat of the day.
Communicating: Warthogs, like all wild pigs, live highly social lives. They usually forage in family groups accompanied by constant communication in squeaks, squeals, snorts, chirrups, growls and grunts. They also communicate with scent from various glands to mark their ranges and also during courtship and friendly encounters. Their senses of hearing and smell are acute and stronger than their vision. Warthogs signal alarm with snorts and grunts, and also visually with lowered mane and ears, and by running with tails upright.
Surviving: Many warthog predators live on the savanna. These include lions, leopards, cheetah, hyenas, African wild dogs, crocodiles, and humans. Jackals and eagles predate on piglets. Warthogs utilize varied survival techniques. Sheltered in their burrows at night, warthogs avoid nocturnal predators such as leopards. Although normally diurnal if disturbed by human activity, warthogs switch to nocturnal foraging. Warthogs pay attention to alarm calls from oxpeckers, birds which frequent their backs and feed on parasites. When fleeing, warthogs reach speeds of 30 to 34 miles per hour (48 - 55 kph). The sounder escapes into burrows with the young rushing in head first. Adults back into the den with formidable heads and tusks facing outward. Warthogs erupt in a burst of speed when leaving the safety of the burrow. Whether inside the den or exiting it, razor sharp lower tusks provide good defense.
Our warthogs are located in the African Savanna biome near the Krugeri lions. Other savanna animals include patas monkey, plains zebra, reticulated giraffe, fringe-eared oryx, Grants gazelle, ostrich and other savanna birds. Another wild pig, the Visayan warty pig (Sus cebifrons), is located in the Tropical Asia biome across from the Elephant Pool.
With an estimated population of 250,000 existing throughout widespread regions of Sub-Saharan Africa, Common warthogs have the status of Least Concern by IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Drought conditions, land use conversion to agriculture, and human persecution impact regional populations. Farmers kill them for raiding wheat, rice, bean and groundnut crops. Domestic livestock owners eradicate them due to disease concerns. African wild pigs are symptomless carriers of the African swine fever virus that is lethal to domestic animals. Warthogs are favored hosts of the Savanna tsetse fly. These blood-sucking insects can infect humans with sleeping sickness and domestic livestock with ngana. People also hunt warthogs for their ivory and meat. Despite all this, the warthog population remains strong and substantial numbers live in protected areas of parks and reserves.

I was wondering if that 1919 was an original transferable class 3 or a side plate gun, looks like it may have been a police department's post sample, anyway they really didn't hurt the 1919 as the side plate is the gun, and it can be rebuilt, into any config that they want.. I thought it was funny how Pissed Off that cop looked when the rate of fire was slowed down by that lightweight barrel.. looks like they were running 8mm, or shooting steel case ammo anyway.. spent a lot of time working on a lot of things that are already on the market.. TNW kit is ugly as sin in my opinion.. I like the shortened barrel booster look better anyway.. B2B
I'm just glad some one had the balls to show NFA weapons on tv hell even semi-AK's for that matter.
A lot of forms I have been reading have been bashing Will and red jacket, bunch of asshole if you ask me
Will thank you, I have injoyed the show
I enjoy the show as do my wife and children. I understand why you wouldn't want to show details on how to make suppressors or automatic weapons on tv for proprietary, legal, and plain ole common sense reasons. With reaching a broader audience through the show have you given any consideration on making a few videos on semi-auto kit builds? I don't know what the profit margin is on videos, but it would seem fairly good especially if you're already building that particular gun.
in the episode with flems mg-42 the customer is wearing a post-war west german border guard " sumpfmuster" marsh pattern pile lined parka. I have one these, they are similar to luftwaffe WW2 pattern
very appropriate for the shooting sequence
Sprat and sprat1 are one and the same.
Hey Will and crew
I enjoy your show, ya'll keep up with the shop projects, work and shootings. I like the guns in actions up close views.

Discussion in 'The Trash Can' started by sk9tingfan, Jul 12, 2010.
Oh, good for her! I hope this baby brings joy to the couple's life!
I hope she has a safe delivery with no complications since she's knocking on the door of 40
"working to" stop drinking and chain-smoking? Working to?
Girl should've ceased all of that immediately after the pregnancy confirmation. Maybe it's just the writer's wording; not gonna pass judgement
any more than I already have.
Good for her. A while ago she made a comment that she was making a living, paying her bills, and she did not know what life held for her in the future . . . then she said "Maybe I'll have a family?" . . . and I thought, well you better get on that pretty quick unless you want to go the route of fertility clinics.
If true, I hope that this will motivate her to do whatever she needs to do to have a heathy family.
There goes her comeback!
Congrats to Tonya and her new husband!
And I do hope she's able to kick the smoking/drinking.
I'm surprised nobody picked up on this. This is from the story:
In 1994, Hardings then-husband Jeff Gillooly was charged in the attack on her figure Skating rival Nancy Kerrigan during a practice session for the US Figure Skating Championship; Harding later admitted she knew of the plot. After a plea bargain, she was banned for life from the US Figure Skating Association.
And this is from Wikipedia:
Harding avoided further prosecution and a possible jail sentence by pleading guilty on March 16 to conspiring to hinder prosecution of the attackers. She received three years probation, 500 hours of community service and a $160,000 fine.
On June 30, 1994, after conducting its own investigation of the attack, the USFSA stripped Harding of her 1994 title and banned her for life from participating in USFSA-run events as either a skater or a coach. The USFSA concluded that Harding knew about the attack before it happened .............
So no boys and girls, Tonya never admitted she knew of the attack before it happened.
Wouldn't it be cool if the kid skate? Tonya can be a skating mom and coach the kid from the barrier ....
No. Should have stopped that behavior at least 6 months before conception.
Although obviously the circumstances could have (and should have) been better for the child, I hope things work out well for everybody. If this child was an "accident," then that's pretty scary. I hope he or she will have loving parents.
I am sorry.....don't want to wish anyone ill, and I hope all goes well....but IMO, this is someone who should not breed!
Aside from the smoking and drinking.....has she had any period of stability in her adult life?
Babies are not meant to "help people straighten out"....adults are supposed to get themselves straightened out, and have children.
So true.
I haven't seen Tonya in the news lately except for her wedding and rumored pregnancy - so maybe her life is going well. I wish her and her family the best.
True, but I know someone who was very troubled and had many problems (drugs, drinking...etc) that did not plan to get pregnant but did. It changed her life dramatically. She is now a very happy, healthy woman whose life is so completely different from the path she was going down. With 3 very healthy happy kids (her first she had at 38).
So if true, I hope this is the thing that will give Tonya's life what it needs.
Everyone deserves to be happy, and everyone deserves a second chance. (I got mine)
Congratulations Tonya! I must says they could've chosen a better picture for the article. Tonya is prettier than that.
It's great that at 39 she's having her first.
I hope she is a better mother to her child than her mother was to her.
I hope she surprises us all....and turns her life around, and it is all great.
However, I am not sure everyone doesdeserve a second chance. It is a nice saying, and wonderfully applicable when it works. But realistically, how many people take advantage of that second chance? Lindsy Lohan anyone? And as to deserve.......I think there are some actions that simply don't deserve a second chance......Susan Smith for example.
I suspect the more "chances" a person has, and doesn't take advantage of, the less likely it is that they will pull themselves together. Tonya actually has had lots of chances............she is not the only person who came from horrid circumstances and pulled themselves up....Rudy..... Think of what she might have accomplished had she "listened" to advice (i.e. costumes) and just skated her best. She could have had a really different outcome.
Of course, she would not have been famous.
I agree in the case of a Susan Smith or The Manson Family etc... I hope that they do "change", but they do not deserve to walk the streets because of the hideous crimes they have committed.
I used the term "second chance" loosely.
The person I referred to had gone thru rehab 8 times before she finally found the right path. When dealing with bad circumstances, it is very easy to fall into the victim role. When you are psychologically damaged by a parent (my friend, myself & Tonya's case). It can take years to undo the damage to your self esteem and be able to see the mistakes you are making that are keeping you down. When you are told from a very early age you are not good enough, it is easy to believe and let yourself be led down a wicked spiral of bad decisions and actions. You never really know when that one "thing" will happen to turn your life around.
Some people are lucky and find that "something" the first time, some people it takes many times to finally find it, and some people never find it.
I hope this is her "time", especially if there is now a baby involved.
I am NOT advocating smoking and drinking while pregnant AT ALL. However, I smoked like a chimney before my daughter was born back in 1972, and she was not affected at all. She's been incredibly healthy and athletic and has had two very big, strapping boys of her own in her late 30's.
I'm just saying it doesn't always have to turn out badly for the baby, although of course anyone in their right mind in this day and time would know not to do those things. Heck, I probably knew in 1972. At least I didn't drink!
That's great to hear. It sounds like your daughter was blessed with excellent genes. The thing is, smoking introduces a ton of toxins into the fetus's blood, reduces the oxygen supply (causing increased heart rate), and puts the fetus at risk for a ton of problems. Some of the other effects might be too subtle to pick up on as well. I hope things will turn out as well for Tonya's baby as they did for your daughter.
From Aunt Joyce's Ice Cream Stand This and That:
Tonya Harding is pregnant and will be beating her child with a hair brush before we know it. She recently had a shotgun wedding.
Not exactly charitable on my part, but I couldn't resist.
My mom was a smoker as well. Many women smoked while pregnant before the health warnings. Supposedly now there is a higher rate of asthma than before and fewer people are smoking and many are aware of the warnings of smoking while pregnant.
I had a friend who smoked while she was pregnant as well and her baby turned out fine. She did receive some funny looks as she stood outside smoking with her pregnant belly.
Tonya's parenting technique:
A quick smack with a wrench.
This. Sure, better not to smoke or drink. But it does not guarantee a horrible future for the baby or we'd have all gone extinct long before now. A MUCH bigger worry for the baby's long-term health is having an old mother (from a reproductive standpoint. Anything after 35 is a crapshoot as far as things like replication disorders go. Sorry, unpopular, but biology doesn't care about your career or life timing-ideally, women give birth younger, when they wait, they up the risk to the offspring and themselves.)
And yeah, the hairbrush thing is out of line. There are plenty of people with screwed-up childhoods who do not go on to beat their children. Tonya's had a very long time to put her life back to some semblance of togetherness. I hope everything goes well for her.
I don't know if this is true or not but if it is, something about it is somewhat . I realize she has likely matured a lot and changed as an adult but................she just does not strike me as a parenting type?
Two things:
The pregnancy was first reported in The Enquirer.
Wikipedia is not a book of facts. It's a place where anyone can post anything. Don't believe everything you see there.
If the pregnancy is true, I wish her the best. She had an amazing triple axel and set of jumps!
So was John Edwards's affair. If it were Weekly World News, I'd say that's an automatic discounting of the source. The Enquirer, sadly enough, has started to scoop a lot of 'hard news' places. (And let's be fair, this is hardly 'hard news.')

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Unfortunately, the stock 'oil pressure' gauge doesn't actually show the running oil pressure. The switch that activates it closes at a few pounds and the gauge will read normal......even if you only have 10lbs of pressure. You might ask the Service Dept why the car has a nearly non-functional gauge if they actually care that the driver has a chance to save the engine in the event of oil loss?
Normal bearings will look dull grey where the crank doesn't actually make contact and a bit shiny where it did. If the bearings are worn, the lead alloy surface (babbit) will be worn away and the copper underlay will be showing. Under the copper is the steel shell and that is what normally welds itself to the crank to grab and spin the bearing.
Good luck with your fight.
Two done?
I agree with Phil. You shoudl take some pictures and fight this!
Wow, I was wondering what the price was. I had two done.
I would take lots of pictures of the oil puddles and such.
There was no hole in the block. It was running sluggishly that day prior to blowing so i was paying extra attention to the gauges etc and the pressure was completely normal both at idle and while driving, and the oil pressure warning light didnt come on until afterwards.
as a sidenote the cost of replacing the engine assy. with labor is $5960 at ford.
|Was there a hole in the block? Jaykirs is right.
Generally speaking a bearing get's spun due to lack of lubrication. It will seize to the crank journal and spin the bearing in the bearing journal or rod journal, depending on which bearings suffer lubrication loss. It could have been caused by the oil level being too low or by a clogged oil port. If it tossed a rod through the block then yeah, oil is going to leak out of the engine and decrease the oil level making it appear it was low when in fact it could have been ok. It's hard to tell for sure without tearing into it myself. Good luck man, I hope it all works out for you for the better.
EDIT: BTW, did you ever notice the oil pressure being a bit lower or higher than normal prior to the catastrophic event?
Spun a bearing, threw a rod? ouch
It appears my engine is toast, I had my car towed to ford last weekend after i was driving and there was a loud bang accompanied by loss of oil pressure and a nasty knocking/clacking sound. This diagnosis was that i spun a bearing and possibly threw a rod, I have an aftermarket warranty that would cover such things. Unfortunately I'm having a hard time because I change my own oil and because when my car arrived in the shop the oil level was very low(dont worry about the large puddle where i pushed the car to and the large puddle where it was sitting after the tow truck dropped it off... outside the service dept. The tech that inspected it said that lack of oil was the cause, the oil filter had loosened up(last oil change was about 2 months ago) and thats where most of it had leaked from.
Its entirely plausible that 2 months ago i improperly tightened the filter "it was only on by 2 threads" were the techs exact words, which we all know is bullshit, if it was only on that little it wouldnt even stay on and all the oil would have dumped long long ago. Yet my argument that whatever internal part(s) broke accompanied by lots of shaking could have loosened an already slightly loose but still functional filter is completely discredited along with the large puddles of used oil underneath my car at their dealership(after the damage) and the parking lot behind my apt. where i pushed it to(also after the damage)
I park in the same parking spot at work/my apt./girlfriends house and like anyone who does work on their own car or anyone with half a brain i take notice of things like oh i dont know allegedly loosing 3-4 quarts of oil onto the ground to cause all of this.
So now my warranty company is having them tear apart the engine to properly diagnose the cause, its my understanding the bearings should look polished? and if it was lack of oil they would be scratched looking? I don't know enough about internals so I'm hoping you guys could help me out with that bit. I'm already planning for worst case but with the lack of used svt engines i'm not sure how many cost saving methods i can implore..... any ideas?

In only 10 minutes a day, you can boost energy, melt away tension, even relieve stubborn health problems, just by breathing the right way.
When heart specialist Dr. John M. Kennedy of Harbor-UCLA Medical Center stands at the scrub sink before an operation, he breathes deeply with seven-count exhales, visualizing how he wants the procedure to go. "Athletes use these techniques to perform under pressure, but we can all call on them in our regular lives," Kennedy said.
It starts with knowing what kind of breathing works best for the challenge you're facing. Here's what the latest research shows:
Rev up • If you're feeling sluggish, try a few rounds of "bellows," a type of rapid belly breathing. Regular practice of bellows can also lead to a lowering of heart rate and blood pressure.
In a recent study, 50 beginners slowed their resting heart rates 13 beats per minute and lowered their systolic blood pressure four points within three months of doing just three rounds of bellows each day. This is nearly the same payoff you'd get from regular exercise or even from taking medication. (If your pressure is already high, however, don't practice bellows, cautions the study's author, Dr. Shashikala Veerabhadrappa.)
Calm yourself • You can't always avoid stressful situations that trigger the fight-or-flight response - being stuck in traffic, for example. But you can use your breathing to create the opposite effect the so-called rest-and-digest response to ease the impact stress can have on your heart.
In a study at San Francisco State University, 20 participants tried two kinds of breathing paced and alternate-nostrils at a slow and steady five breaths per minute. Both techniques worked. When tested after half an hour, the study subjects had lower heart rates and showed other signs their fight-or-flight response had been turned off (although the positive impact began to kick in at 10 minutes). If five breaths per minute seems too slow, a faster pace works well, too, says study leader Matthew Lee. "But aim for 10 or fewer breaths per minute," he advises.
Beyond reducing the physical impact of stress, paced breathing can make you feel less jangled. In one session at the Mayo Clinic, a group of 17 women learned a routine of alternating a few minutes of paced breathing with several minutes of mediation. After they practiced the technique for a total of 15 minutes once or twice a day for four weeks, their stress scores dropped by about a third.
Medical treatments and breathing • At the University of California, San Francisco, cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy learned four breathing exercises, which they then practiced twice a day for 10 minutes to 15 minutes. The simple techniques were observing your natural breath, deep inhales with extended exhales, gentle inhales followed by a brief pause, and forceful exhales and alternate-nostril breathing during therapy. These patients were less anxious, slept better and had fewer chemo symptoms than a control group. The more time they spent focusing on breathing, the greater their relief. "A yoga teacher can help you learn the techniques and individualize them to your condition," said oncologist Anand Dhruva,

By the way anyone want a cat, Ill trap it and you just pay shipping! :-D
One of my cats years ago killed a chipmunk that had a warble in it..eewwww!! I was totally grossed out, huge UGLY thing it was. Very leathery so I put it ina baggie, sprayed bugspray in it & stuck it under the windshield wiper of my car in the sun..the next day it was STILL alive!! Didn't have the internet to google back then & I was so grossed out that I ran it up to the vet to see what it was. (he didn't charge me by the way ;)) Then I tossed it into the burn barrel fire! I have feral rabbits here, well only 1 left, a little chox rex. I put grain down for it & it eats the wheat from the pigeon food cause they don't, likes fruit & peelings too like the chix. There were 2 white ones for 4-5 years. They went between my place & the 3 houses around me. Amazing they survived as they really don't blend in.. :? J
Those warble things must be a southern problem, I have never, ever even heard of them until this thread. Yech!

KU graduate student Robert Knight has received a grant to design unmanned aerial vehicle hardware for NASA with a group of undergraduate students at the University of Kansas.
Knight is part of a team working on collision avoidance radar for these UAVs. This team is funded by NASA as the "Multichannel Sense-and-Avoid Radar for Small UAVs" project and is overseen by Dr. Christopher Allen, professor of electrical engineering and computer science. Allen teaches the Senior Design Lab, and Knight serves as his graduate teaching assistant.
"This is a concerted effort to bring research into the classroom," Michelle Ward, public relations coordinator for the department of electrical engineering and computer science, said. "This is a great opportunity for the younger students to get hands on training on such a big project."

Block Island is Bermuda North. Salt Pond (New harbour) is great. A pump out boat, launch service and town supplied mooring (but 1st come.) The Island population explodes in the summer.
There is good anchorage but be careful, the ground is mud so make sure you set the anchor.
BI is one of those places where you get fog and wind so expect it. As you enter the Salt Pond expect some good puffs, especially after you clear the Coast Guard Station, pervail, they die down.
Resturant, Ballards by Old Port is a ledgend. But, the power boat navy tie up, anchor or just drift in old harbour. Cabs are availlable, as are MoPeds, Bikes etc for rent. Lots of good beaches.
Some freaky weather happens now. On shore 70, at BI 90. And then just the opposite.
All in all BI is a great place. From BI to Cuttyhunk is about 6 hrs (sailing.) To Edgartown another 3 or 4. Don''t fail to sail into Narragansett Bay. Newport, Dutch Isaland, Prudence Isalabd (farther up the bay) at Potters Cove is great.
If you want more info send an email
What is the best type of anchor to use in Great Salt Pond?
Go to Block and enjoy it. I visit Block at lease once each summer and sstay a few days or a week sometimes. Anchoring out is OK, the holding ground is less than great in some areas of the salt pond. Its deep and thick grass grows in some places making it difficult to set an anchor. Many people pick up a mooring, including me. Although its not easy to get one, as the town manages the mooring field and there are about 200 or so. You might anchor the night you arrive and then start combing the mooring field at around 7 or 8 am as you see people heading out of the pond. I have always gotten a mooring this way. You may find yourself racing with another skipper towards an available mooring. Block is one of the most beautiful Islands, rolling hills, natural flowers blooming, 100''s of ponds, beautiful ocean views, clean, bracing Atlantic water, good visability. Block is an easy sail from Long Island, Newport, Watch Hill, Marthas, etc.
Go and enjoy.
ps. you got a lot of messages about marinas from others, I recommend moorings, its the nicest way to go.
A Block Island destination is a great idea. You will want to say in the "New Harbor" a/k/a the Great Salt Pond. The holding ground is generally very good but leave plenty of scope because the wind can blow quite impressively each afternoon. Alternatively, consider picking up one of the hundred or so town moorings, which are about one nautical mile inside the harbor. The cost is $30 per night (at least it was during my last visit in 2000). You should have no problem finding an empty mooring from about noon on sunday through Wednesday. After that it gets a little tight.
Launch service ($2) is convenient and runs late. Free pumpout is very convenient.
Each morning Aldo''s bakery runs a floating danish/coffee/dessert service. It''s not bad - simply stand on your foredeck and waive or hail by radio oncy your hear the owner yelling something in Italian.
Old Harbor is small, busy, noisy (both from the ferry and the surrounding bars - if however you selected Block Island for its nightlife, you may wish to reconsider.)
Once anchored or moored make your way to Paynes dock and rent a bike - pass on the mopeds as they are an unnecessary expense and the locals hate them; moreover, the island is small and you''ll be cheating yourself by not seeing it by bike. Down town is no more than 1.5 miles from Great Salt Pond. An adaquate grocery store may be found there. You''ll have no problem biking groceries back to the harbor.
The ideal day is as follows - rise leisurely; bacon and eggs; loaf for a while; morning swim; loaf; ding ashore to your bikes (bring small cooler, water(lots), fruit, ects.); ride bikes through town along coastline to the Southeast Lighthouse (take pictures enjoy the view and sit on the big rock); return to bikes and continue down the road for about 100 yards until you come to a small parking lot on your left - you are now at Mohegian Bluffs; walk down the long wooden staircase and walk West for about one mile (the long walk is worth the effort because that you''ll be the only people there - even during the most crowded weekend); loaf for the day; return to the stairs which now have at least trippled in height; bike back to town but stop at the Atlantic Inn (large white hotel) for cocktails on the front lawn while lounging in Adirondack chairs; once duly lubricated bike to the harbor and dine at Dead Eye Dicks - it is located almost at Payne''s dock (get there early enough to grab a seat outside; eat and enjoy (don''t skip the Calamari - enjoy the sunset and hopefully a lonesome bagpiper); walk/bike/stagger to wherever you left the dinghy; make your way home for the evening and enjoy the dark harbor that is decorated by hundreds of anchor lights; finally, consider repeating the same sojurn, tomorrow.
While my wife and I love the island and its loafing opportunities, after four or five full days, you may have had your fill. The downtown is meager and the shopping opportunites (which for reasons that escape me seem to attract my wife) are essentially nonexistant.
It has often been said the Block Island is what Martha''s Vineyard was 50 years ago.
My most recent post was in Re: Old harbor, the smallish harbor near the center of town where the ferry lets you off.
I''ve never stayed in Old Harbor, it doesn''t look terribly comfortable or accessible. Of course the last couple of times I''ve seen it have been with a prevailing N/NE wind, which is less common around here. With a S/SW wind it would appear to be very protected.
We''ve stayed in New Harbor, both at Champlin''s and at anchor. In spite of a longish dinghy ride and a neighbor with a lot less scope out than us, we much preferred being at anchor.
which harbor are you talking about?
Not confused - just didn''t read the post carefully. Duh.
I don''t know if anchoring is allowed there or not - but it seems pretty packed with moorings. Doesn''t look a pleasant place to stay.
I think bporter got confused between New Harbor and Old Harbor. Old Harbor is a fraction of the size of New Harbor/Great Salt Pond. It has little depth and little room to anchor as one needs to leave alot of space for the ferries coming in and out.
Yes - you can anchor there. The holding ground was OK last time we anchored, but it is a pretty deep anchorage. The north end of the Salt Pond is closed to anchoring, and is fairly shallow. But just south of that is an anchorage area. If you look at a chart you''ll see it''s 26-32 feet; that''s pretty accurate so you need a long rode. We put out pretty much all of a 200'' rode with 20'' of chain on it, shooting for 7:1 with all of our tackle down and being nervous about making it.
The guy anchored nearest to us, in the exact same boat as ours, probably had 4 or 5 to one out, as we discovered when the wind died then shift 180 degrees.
In re: another post when comparing Champlins vs. the Boat Basin. We never stayed at the Boat Basin, I chickened out on trying to get my boat into the slip they were offering me. However, the last time we did Block Island we anchored, and found it to be much more peaceful than being in a slip there. I suspect that will be our plan there from now one.
Thanks everyone for all the information on Block Island. Everyone was very helpful to me. Eve

Okay, well, I rather poorly introduced myself on the introduction forums so...HI! My name's Caroline(Yes, I'm a girl). Call me whatever you like, but Ordeyn or CAN would be fine. I live in the USA and speak English (...I only know how to say "I don't speak English" in English :lol )
Anyways, more important things like armor! :D I decided to do a custom before I did a Jango or Boba so I could make some mistakes and get the hang of things on the not-so-professional armor. Though, I hope it does turn out nice and I'm sure it will. My plan is to sorta go for a FemMando but not really. But that's more because my templates are for Jango (I think) and not a girl. It'll be interesting.
I cut my armor from a oval trash can (yay for tin snips!). :D Kudos to the genius who thought up that one! Here it is, all sanded and prettied up...sorry its so big...
And that's as far as I've gotten. Question time! Other than getting more materials for more armor, what should I do with what I have? Can I do anything? What else do I need? Any and all advice would be amazing! And helpful forums I haven't stumbled across yet. :D
Thank you!

Below is an interview with Gingham Ghost, one of the many exhibitors at the 2011 Zine Fest Houston.
What is your favorite part of ZineFest?
It's great to sell minicomics but the best part is meeting new zinesters and trading.
What are your favorite zines/minicomics?
We're big fans of self-published autobiographical comics likes… King Cat (John Porcellino), Big Plans (Aron Nels Steinke), Phase 7 (Alec Longstreth), Milkyboots (Virgina Paine), Clutch (Greg Means), Brainfag (Nate Beaty) and Just So You Know (Joey Alison Sayers).
What will be at your table at this years ZineFest?
We will be bringing a slew of our minicomics, highlights include…
"Okay? Okay!" – an autobiographical double comic telling the same love story from two different perspectives in two contrasting art styles.
"AOA #1" – a huge collection of colorful hand-painted diary comics by Melinda Tracy Boyce, a twenty-something exploring Portland and hanging out with her boyfriend.
"Batcave Beach Chapter 1" – a fictional story about an outcast who sneaks into a private school's party, befriends an eccentric duo obsessed with death and begins a haunting and quirky adventure to discover the meaning of life… before it's too late.
What new projects are you working on this year?
We will continue our diary comics and our monthly Digital Zine distributed by email (sign up for it for free at www.ginghamghost.com) as well as work on the exciting second chapter of Batcave Beach.
What other creative ventures do you have besides creating zines?
Besides zines and comics we create music as The Jellyfish Bandits. Aaron Whitaker also is a painter and screenwriter.

If you like an ambery, smoky scent...
This one is a very sensual scent, at least for me. It is now my new favorite of Thymes shower products.
PS: Y'all (Thymes) really should have the capability of choosing more than one "Favorite Thymes Fragrance" as I have so many that I absolutely love for different reasons, meaning, Frazier Fir for air scent, Olive Leaf for Hand Washing, Lotus Santal for Body Wash (although re: Body Wash, this depends on what mood I'm in that day because I still love GoldLeaf, which got me to buying your product in the first place). That might just give you a better idea of what your customers are looking for? Just thinking out loud. 8^)

Love it!
Not only do I love how my body feels & smells after showering with this product, my bathroom smells wonderful!
A fragrance to balance your spirit
I found Lotus Santal while looking for another body wash - but it was the best "coincidence" that could have happened! I have dry, sensitive skin and the moisturizing properties of this product are better than any I've used before. Even better is the warm, rich, calming fragrance that lingers just enough to allow only me to enjoy it. When you've satisfied the body and the soul, the spirit can be at peace. Nice combination :)
Lotus Santal Body Wash Calming Retreat
This is a new addition of Body Wash to our Thymes collection. It is just a superb fragrance with a unisex calming scent that is captivating to the senses. It has a combination of notes that are nothing short of amazing.

I love that when I pet Pup, she sticks out her tongue a tiny little bit. A little like this, but WAYYY cuter.
I love that Fiona will try to bury her bones in my couch or recliner. She gets annoyed, because I keep finding them. So she will get frustrated and eat the bone. I love that she literally digs with her front feet in water. I love that she enjoys playing in mud or water, but is a baby when it comes to a bath. I love that she tries to attack the water from the hose, but cries when I spray her with the hose.

Ive thought about this thread since I read the title earlier. What I love is:
When you sit on the floor w/ Lucky and you scratch his chest he covers his face w/ his paws and stretches at the same time. I love how after ignoring me when I dont play w/ him enough and I put my boots on to go out side I get a sideways glance and he goes out into the yard and then I pick up the ball and he's back to happy dog. I love it when he stretches out on the couch next to me. I love how he will do anything to get the milk in the bottom of my bowl of cereal. When I had an bad insulin reaction and ended up passed out on the floor and he just sat by me and when I came to he was there on my feet.
I love working with Finn. I've never bonded with a dog like this before.
I love when he goes out to the bathroom first thing in the morning and he hops through the yard like a rabbit.
I love when he knows I'm having a very bad day and he refuses to leave my side.
I love how he has stood his ground when our house has been broken into, yet opening a garbage bag can startle him if I'm not careful.
I love how he potty-trained himself within a week of coming home, yet we've only just started to master the thirty second stay after four years.
I love when he crawls up on my lap when I'm laying down and he lays ontop of me, his nose under my chin.
I love it when he takes his "wubbie" and rolls all over it, then takes it to bed with him. No wubbie, no rest for Mum and Dad.
I love how he just broadcasts his emotions through looks. He can just look at me and I know exactly what he's thinking. I also think he can tell what's on my mind.
|she'll stare at my gf for like 3 minutes then just go ballistic. Idk why but it happens at least 2 or 3 times a day and is pretty amusing to see

Haha this is great! They are such a goofy breed. Many were listed but a few if mine are.
I love how right when my husband walks out of the room in the mornings, Dixie instantly sits by the bed and looks at me ears pricked waiting for me to say ok. She jumps up and licks my face so happily, like she hasn't seen me in forever :-P
I love how when I pretend to be sleeping she lays right beside me and will put her nose right on my cheek and breathe really hard. And if that don't work, she grabs my hand by my sleeve and picks it up and moves it around lol I can never be "sleeping" after that.
I love how she is always just so happy, and goofy :-)
I love how she always has to walk me to the car. My husband can be calling her to let her in, and if I'm not there she will just come find me just to walk me to the car..
I have so many things I love about her!
|I love her head tilt I love how she doesn't judge me when I talk to myself haha.
A few more I thought about.
I love how I always have a bodyguard when I'm in the bathroom.
He also makes an excellent foot rest.
I love how when I grab my jacket to take him out, he gets so excited that he bites at it as I'm trying to put it on.
I love how he sits on the floor and just stares at me. I would love to know what he's thinking.
I love how when I start any sentence with "do you wanna?", his head tilts, his ears perk and he jumps up as if to say "heck yeah".
I love how he stalks my husband when he's eating mac n cheese that I get from the store. He knows he'll get a forkful when it gets to the bottom.
When we're out in the yard and he's chasing balls, I love when he stands there, head low......waiting.
He stares at me, and I at him. Neither of us moving. I move my foot and he's OFF!!! Cracks me up.
There are so many things I love about him, but the goofball in him is my favorite.

"I loved these invites for my son's 4th birthday. The quality was excellent and everyone commented on how adorable the invitation was."
"My son is turning three. This card came out so adorable I can't even tell you. The pictures I used front and back are exactly how I wanted them and it blends perfectly with the card design. I'm super happy and love this beautiful keepsake for his baby book too (yes- I save a birthday invite and holiday card every year). Love this invite!"
"What a beautiful design - my son loved the fire truck with his picture - quality of the print was, as always, amazing. Would have been nice to have a little more space for text, and maybe some other color options as some didnt look nice on the blue background, but in the grand scheme of it all, those are minor points. options to personlized with picture and edging was great. Most importantly, this design came with mutliple other products - thank you cards, to/from stickers etc... which i always love as it seamlessly pulls a theme together (nothing worse than having different invites, thank you cards, stickers etc...) Delivery was very quick, a little expensive to Europe, but nevertheless the quality was worth it."
"My son loves tractors, so for his second birthday we decided to have a construction party. This invitation was perfect. It was great quality and simple enough for a two year old. Tiny prints shipped quick and they arrived before their expected delivery. I will definitely order again!"
"Love the design perfect for my sons 1st birthday!! quality is awesome, very durable, I got the glossy finish which put the final touches on it!"

The spirit of giving
Photo by Vinnie Tran. Submitted on 11/13/2012.
On Tuesday morning, Dr. Brian McFarland and the students in his Critical Inquiry class pitched in to help out with one of the University of the Ozarks Women organization's biggest projects - the annual Christmas Angels project. The group set up a tree in the Mabee Administration Building lobby, then adorned the tree with angels, each containing information about a child whom you can help!
Look for more Christmas Angels throughout the Clarksville community in the coming days. For more information about the Christmas Angels project, or to find out how you can help, contact UOW at email@example.com.

Re: Gulfstar 37's Pro's & Cons
Haven't read the article Bene is referring to but I love my 1979 Gulfstar 37. It was delivered to Ted Hood who was the sole distributor for them here in the NE. I even have the delivery papers and itemized mfg hardware list . That being said, I've seen earlier built GF 37s that don't have anywhere near the quality does mine and and many other owners. It's a great boat. Roomy, beamy, fast, forgiving and comfortable. I wouldn't dismiss it without checking first checking it out.
Re: Gulfstar 37's Pro's & Cons
Bene, I have not read the article you refer to, as I am not a subscriber, but I do know that Gulfstar went through three distinct phases (I know a guy who used to work for them, both at the yard and as a broker). In the first phase, they produced a bunch of crappy motorsailers and power boats. Then they started producing well-built and good-performing sailboats -- this was from around 1976 - 1984. After that, for reasons unknown they began to cut corners and the quality of construction went significantly downhill. I lucked into buying a boat from the good period in the middle, and now knowing what I know, I'd be entirely comfortable buying another one -- my boat is extremely solid. I would not buy a boat from either of their two bad periods.
Re: Gulfstar 37's Pro's & Cons
Just read the latest issue of Practical Sailor April 2013, not to many kind words to be said about a pre-1980 Gulfstar boats. I always thought that they were well built, not now.
I think i would avoid them now.
Then again; the more i learn about 70's boats the more i learn that a lot of them are not as well-built as people claim.
Re: Gulfstar 37's Pro's & Cons
I've been living aboard a 1979 Gulfstar 37 for about 3 years now in Boston and I love it. She's a surprisingly fast boat, I regularly exceed 8kts and have maintained upwards of 7.5kts for extended periods. I think the interior is beautiful and roomy. It's also surprisingly warm in the winter; the teak interior and the airspace behind it act as insulation. I really like the L-shaped nav station which has a ton of room (I have my computer set up on it). The lazarettes are cavernous. Mine did not have any blister problems, but just to be safe I had the bottom barrier coated. My deck has not suffered any water intrusion, perhaps a previous owner took care of rebedding the stanchions. The engine access isn't great, but it isn't terrible, either. My biggest complaint is the V-berth... it gets a little narrow towards the bow. My girlfriend likes to stretch out. That is going to be the driving force behind me getting a bigger boat, I think.
Re: Gulfstar 37's Pro's & Cons
I own a 1979 Gulfstar 37 that I purchased in 1990 and love the boat. My wife and 2 children, now grown, have sailed on it every season (Apr-Oct) here in New England and have spent two weeks at a time on it comfortably. That being said, I have seen earlier built GF37s that almost don't seem to be quite the same boat somehow although that's purely a value judgement on my part. I have hull #139 so hopefully all the kinks were worked out earlier.
But to the point, the '79 GS37 is a well built and forgiving vessel under sail. All bulkheads are tabbed, the interior is roomy and storage space abounds. We have been in 35 k winds and 12' seas off Nantucket (not by choice) and the question on my mind was whether the crew would hold up not the boat. I had a double reefed main, with the head sail furled to 1/3 and 'Windchime' my vessel, wasn't even breathing hard as she just kept charging powerfully ahead.
The GS37s wide beam is carried all the way to the stern allowing for deep storage lockers, huge interior for a 37', (people can't believe it's only 37') and it's extended waterline allows for a comfortable sail in big seas. The teak joinery is masterfully done, and the vessel is extremely safe and forgiving. The biggest drawback is access to the engine but it's not unmanageable. People are surprised at the roominess below and the spacious comfortable cockpit. I love the boat. Just be sure to check for osmosis since I've heard horror stories about that on earlier ones. The deciding factgor for me was the fact that Ted Hood was the sole distributor for GS37s in the NE and he wouldn't be selling a poorly made or one that didn't sail well. I think I was right. I still own the boat and I'm getting ready to commission it for the coming season. Hope this helps you.
Re: Gulfstar 37's Pro's & Cons
Hi, I too have been looking for a 37 Gulfstar. From what I have read it's hard to beat for a reasonably priced cruiser. Any words of wisdom from past owners?
Re: Gulfstar 37's Pro's & Cons
For whatever value, I have found Gulfstars to be a good tough boat for the money.
They have "over built" hulls since they were designed before the advent of CAD which allowed a lot less layup (per the computer) to be done to the hull construction.
But, the deck stanchions allow their decks to rot, because they didn't put epoxy around the stanchion bases; so you could have an extensive project in replacing the wood in the deck, and ideally, adding some epoxy where the stanchions bolt through the deck.
Considering the quality of the interior cabins' is mostly veneer, you could also spend a lot of time / effort / money improving that area. Or not, your choice.
If the chainplates in a 37' GS are inside the interior cabin walls, you might want to change those. (see my earlier thread: Triumph) Well, change them anyway. :-)
But, overall, "for the money", a GulfStar is a tough work horse, and will take quite a beating. It is up to you how much pleasure you get out of her.
Re: Gulfstar 37's Pro's & Cons
Yeah, I've never quite figured out why so many people come to a public forum like this one, where the whole idea is to share information with the community, and then want to take all of their discussions to PM or e-mail.

Fruit and veg are a source of vitamins, minerals and fibre which may help reduce the risk of diseases like heart disease and some cancers. We all know that it's important for us to eat a variety of at least five portions of fruit and veg each day, but how many of us actually manage it?
Luckily, it can be easier than you think to get your 5 A DAY. The great thing is that you don't need to make a big change to your diet or do without the foods you love.
Tell us your top tips on the Change4Life Facebook page.
Try our Fruit and Veg Boost for simple tips on how to boost your intake!
It doesn't have to be expensive. You can keep the costs down by buying canned fruit and veg, which doesn't go off as quickly. Choose canned fruit in its own juice – it's healthier than fruit in sugary syrup. Or try canned veg in water with no added salt or sugar.
Frozen is even handier, as you can use what you need and put it back in the freezer! And buying fresh fruit and veg when it's in season is usually cheaper too. Local markets can be great places to pick up fresh and tasty produce at really good prices.
Just add a portion of veg here, sprinkle a portion of fruit there – and you'll hit your 5 A DAY before you know it!

Btw, if you guys have other scopes that you think are more accurate,(but cheap as well) pls let me know! I'd prefer a real scope over a resin one btw.

text: I've been spending a lot of time in Houston recently (for work - one of the reasons that I haven't been posting as much). Anyway, my wife and I went to the Rockets-Pistons game a few weeks ago. During warmups, my wife was asking about Charlie and just as I was about to tear into him and say a bunch of horrible things about him; the dude sitting next to me leaned over and asked if we were tallking about Charlie Villanuava. I said I was a Piston fan and that yeah, we were talking about CV. He said that he and his youngest son both suffer from alopecia (currently in remission) and that Charlie had purchased tickets to the game for their family. He talked about getting to meet Charlie before the game and what a cool dude he was. I said, "Wow, that's awesome that he hooked you and your family up. From what I've read and heard, he does a lot to bring awareness to alopecia and uses his position as a NBA player to help." Then the guy leaned over to me so his kid couldn't hear him and he said; "...Too bad he sucks. If the guy was just a halfway decent NBA player, they'd probably have a cure by now." He added, "Why couldn't James Harden have alopecia?!?" True story.

Sigma 18-250mm F3.5-6.3 DC MACRO OS HSM review: Update to popular image-stabilized super-zoomBy Kevin Carter - Thursday December 20 2012 Lens Review
Sigma's 18-250mm f3.5-6.3 DC OS HSM zoom won praise for its balance of performance and convenience, but it looked bulky after rival Tamron introduced the diminutive 18-270mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD. Reducing the size, and weight while updating the optical construction to allow a new minimum focus distance of 35cm, the 18-250mm F3.5-6.3 DC MACRO OS HSM is Sigma's response. But has the redesign compromised the optical performance, or is it a valuable addition to the range? Read on to discover our verdict.
Announced earlier in the year (June 2012), the recently updated Sigma 18-250mm f/3.5-6.3 DC Macro OS HSM for Nikon and Canon APS-C format DSLRs (for the purposes of this review but also Sigma, Pentax and Sony cameras) is a compact and lightweight "walkabout" zoom designed to replace several fixed focal lengths in one convenient lens.
Because of the slight difference in sensor size between Nikon and Canon bodies the lens behaves slightly differently in performance terms and also with regard to the equivalent focal length when comparing it a full frame 35mm (24x36mm) sensor. On a Nikon body, such as the D7000, the lens has a similar angle of view to that of a 27mm-to-375mm, while on the marginally smaller Canon sensor it can be compared with or to a 28.8mm-to-400mm lens.

Netshark, thanks and I was going for a kind of biting-off-more-than-you-can-chew thing, which is greed to me, and something I see in a couple other designs around the contest too. If it gets rejected by the woot mods I won't be devastated though.

JadenKale wrote:It's a beautiful design and I love the artistic style of the design, so please don't feel that I just hate your design or anything. I feel the heart balloon aspect is a little off for a greed theme. I would think that the design invokes more of a 'Hope' response rather than 'Greed'. I believe that's because it's so light and relaxed in design. Greed is a deadly sin, and as that's a negative trait, the design is just a bit too positive to pull it off for me.
But I will say, that despite all of my comparison to the theme, I love the piece on its own. You executed your design beautifully and it's very pretty.
Thank you so much, Jaden! I have to say, I've been a big fan of all of your designs. And so this is all a tremendous compliment.
To answer your comment, it was designed as a light-hearted take on the theme-- slike it's a harmless greed (if there is such a thing); the only potential harm is if she lets go of the other balloons, I suppose.
In any event, thank you so much for commenting. And I love your dragon, btw! GMV.

I think the greed aspect is there, you just have to look for it.
Maybe a slight alteration would make it clearer to the judges. Even if it doesn't catch on this week, who knows it could be someone's editor's pick down the line. Or at least submit it to DBH or something, it's a great design. Just my 2 cents.

Dear Lucy,
I am sorry to bother you again. However, I need to be able to re-word the following text so that it seems less patronising to learners of English;
'Pay rent and all bills on time. There are various aspects to household bills. To begin, the bill arrives. No-one wants to look at it, off course - especially the electricity bill at the end of a long cold winter when you've spent a lot of time at home pretending to study. So it needs to be put somewhere where it won't just disappear - have a box or a clipboard or some spot for all money things that isn't going to turn into a rubbish pile or get buried under old newspapers. A good system is a household concertina file with sections for the various bills, receipts, letters to the agent etc.
Then a responsible brave person - preferably appointed to this job - must check the current bill and claim the appropriate contributions, no doubt in a mess of cash and pieces of allegedly convertible paper. This can involve much chasing of flatmates and is a fairly thankless business.
Then as the due date approaches, the bill must be paid. With most bills there are various ways. A good way is to have it all in cash and pay across the counter at the post office. This gives you a receipt, which is most important and always should be kept - you never know when you are going to need to prove what you have paid, or to unravel contributions. The really efficient household will also give receipts to
one another as contributions are put in'. (Taken from Norris, Ortenburg & Norris, 2000, p. 49)'.
Do you have any suggestions regarding how it could be re-worded or not?

devium wrote:You could submit all three versions as a midweek sale and see if they can sell all three options on the same day.
I wouldn't be adversed to that. I think it would be cool to have 3 different shirts that reference one another (the green would say "from the makers of blue" and the blue would reference the red)
and if this prints, (or if it doesn't) I might propose all three to woot.
However, I was thinking about it and I'm not sure that the green or blue would fit this derby- the gag is all about how in rpg's you have potions that heal damage. If that logic is applied to real world injuries, it kind of becomes absurd.
Green and Blue potion replenish magic, which kind of take them a little further out of the realm of everyday.
They would still be everyday insomuch as they are treated like a real product, but hot as strongly.
Secondly, (I don't think that this would happen) I kind of don't want to edge two other artists out of the top three spots with three variations on the same design.

I didn't realize I was supposed to be defending something. I was inspired by this shirt (http://www.origin68.com/#/human-being-white/4539630331) for my design and ran across the design above while researching similar designs afterwards.

If you go by that then ANYTHING could be turned into a role play tabletop and therefore anything could fall into this category. In it's base purpose though Pokemon isn't a role play game. I think this one is a bit of a stretch when it comes to fitting into the topic.
Is it cute? Sure, I just don't see how it fits.

You could always buy the shirt, cut the design out and get it matted (thus sorta making it a print).
I am just not placing the reference on the right (one with baby dragon) need assistance.
I would so wear the heck out of this!
I think I get the joke. Is this a joke about people losing their work while using the Linux Puppy OS? If it is, then I really like it. =P

Final Fantasy VII, Cloud and his huge sword!

Re: 1 LOL
Hope you enjoy the design, please vote.
Re: Caffeine Power Up
Thanks for all the nice comments and support. It's a good feeling to know there are people out there who have your back.
My favorite, I really hope this prints. When I saw the RPG theme I figured nothing would appeal to me as that's not really my thing, but coffee is!
I'd gladly buy this if it gets printed. I love the simplicity of the overall design including color choices and facial expressions. It get's the message across. Plus, it's just so darn cute.

Very nice!
I. Want. This. So. Badly. GMV!!!
I am pretty sure this is Cait Sith.
That's a dragon and not a Chocobo? My eyesight IS bad.

Sigh. The more I look at this the more I want it, yet it's not in the fog. Don't you hate when that happens? For what it's worth, I would buy 2, so that when one wears out I will have a spare!

That is such an archaic spelling that my body decomposed and my bones turned to dust just from reading your excuse of an explanation.
My mind immediately went somewhere dirty with the carrot sizes.
Re: Choose Wisely
I love it! awesome idea! GMV

Interestingly enough the Caffeine shirt I like best, of the small percentage I've seen, is that one on Redbubble linked in the ramyb thread.
It equated caffeine with electrons, and the only atoms that were happy were the ones with electrons (depicted as coffee cups). It seemed to have given more thought to the standard design.
While I don't think that this artist stole work, the similar shirt rule isn't exactly the same thing as stolen art. And I am in the 'cliched Idea should get the axe' (for similar shirt) crowd. Though that is IMO, not woot's. Since woot didn't reject Ramyb's I would also hope for consistency.
Edit: I mean hydrogen, for some reason I only think of H as a floating electron.
Please, please, please make this a shirt. I created an account just so that I could comment about how AMAZING this shirt is.
Awww I love the dragon!
Re: My Quiver
I love how the sword is "poking through" the shirt and how it's stained with my enemy's blood. Definitely gets my vote
Re: Obey the DM
How do dungeonmaster and Sauron mix? That's where I'm a bit confused.
I'd like it better without the text but still, it gets a vote from me.
