You missed the "low priced ammo" too,, that's been gone for a bit and probably will remain that way for a while to come.
As a result of the tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut, President Obommunist is going to pull out all stops to get his long anticipated gun ban. He was so delighted when that horror occurred that he could hardly wait to get started. I knew that this day was coming. I told people face to face and wrote about it on the internet. I said that, as soon as a bloody slaughter came to pass, that the White House Fuhrer would spring into action.
But, Obummer has a lot of boot-lickers even among gun owners! Some said to me Hes got too many other problems to worry about Our Guns. Hes never shown any interest in banning guns (the moron that said that was living in some kind of a fantasy world). Ill worry about it when it comes to pass; if it ever does. And, so it went. But, I and millions of others knew that when the time was ripe, he would strike like a rattlesnake! And, thats just what happened!
Now, millions of Americans are crowding into gun stores and gun shows trying to find certain guns and ammo that they want. A big demand item the an M4/AR15/M16 in some form or other. But, they are all sold out. The factories are months behind on filling orders. And, who knows what may happen by then? What will the Moslem Communist do to us? He has plans for us--ALL BAD!
In the event that you havent been able to obtain a M4 you may want to consider something else. You better get something before its too late! I offer a few suggestions.
The Ruger Mini-14. Its not as good as the M4, but, it still is a good reliable rifle. It shoots the same .223/5.56 caliber. And, there are high capacity magazines available for it. You could do worse. I actually like the gun, but I do think that, if I had my druthers, I would prefer a M4. But, its probably too late for me now. Like millions of others I procrastinated. and now Ill probably never have a M4.
Some AKs are chambered for the .223. These are generally good performing rifles. They have high cap magazines, too. That is, if there are any left. AKs are noted for being used for long periods of time with little cleaning or maintenance. If you run across one of these, grab it! It may be your last chance to get a semi auto repeater in that caliber.
Although I dont know much about it, Kel-Tec has a carbine (SU-16C) that is chambered in .223. It is a light, handy little carbine that might be useful. It is a possibility for someone who desires a semi-auto in .223.
Of course, there are other actions available in that caliber. Almost every gun manufacturer offers a bolt action .223. Also, there are slide actions, single shots and lever actions. So, if there is still any low cost ammo available, you should be able to find something in which to shoot it.
You missed the "low priced ammo" too,, that's been gone for a bit and probably will remain that way for a while to come.
Good luck finding a Mini-14. They are all gone in my area. There is still a pretty good amount of ARs to my surprise, but my last name isn't Trump so they are a little out of my price range. I'm glad I got my hands on a few before the government went full retard.
If you really want a rifle Ruger makes a 10/22 that seems to be in stock and still at a reasonable price
Things seem to be coming back though just not very fast. It definitely sucks for those of us who did this prior to all the BS.

You can always build your own the way you want it built, the parts are still out there. Its like putting legos together with some roll pins and springs.
Come on you apes, do you want to live forever?

Well, this is a gun building web forum & there are lots of M16A1 kits on the market right now. Nodak is taking orders again & they have a nice retro M16A1 receiver. Barrels will soon be back in stock at Green Mountain.
The problem will be finding any ammo.
" Save a tree...........Eat A Beaver!"
I seldom talk to liberals.............................. But when I do, I order fries............
JSE has been getting M4 barrels in stock--they sold a bunch last weekend.
they had a bunch of complete uppers as well.
only thing is you got to act fast when they re-stock stuff is sells out very quickly!
AR-15/m4 parts are coming back --just slowly and in small batches--
good luck finding a mini--there hard to find anywhere these days about as bad as an AK/AR--
there are a few ar-15s. HK clones AKs and other things out there --but the prices start at $800 and head upwards-- an ar will likely set you back $1,200 at least --
a few months ago you could have built one for $500---
How much $$$$$ you got?
DREAM on!
I already have a couple of Minis. And, I am pretty well stocked up on ammo in that caliber. I do think that an M4/AR15 would be a worthwhile addition to what I already have. But, as an old retired man, dollars come in pretty slowly these days. So, I'll probably have to make do with my Minis. I also have the 10/22 along with a number of high cap mags. And, a lot of .22LR ammo.
yes the AR is certainly worth the effort. the least expensive road is still "roll your own".
sometimes JSE has complete uppers for $400 even after the panic--
the hard part would today would be getting a lower and lower parts kit since their OOS everywhere i could not even guess at what they might cost.
a few months back a very good lower could be bought for $95-$120 any day of the week , and every once in a while they would be on sale for $58-$60 --lower parts kits sold for $49-$65.
i bought a imported m4 stock form SMG long after the panic for $26 buffer tube,spring and buffer -- it is a little light compared to the real one --but it still works--
i sort of doubt that were going to see these kind of sales for several years if ever. parts may come back a lot closer to retail in the next few months as the panic slows down and things start getting back in stock.
were seeing that some on mags --every so often the good ar mags come back in stock for $18 bucks or so and they sell every day for about $29 --
i sure some of the AK guys here on GUNCO could probably cook up a way to tune up the mini without blowing a bunch of $$$ on it.
like maybe cut the barrel back to 16" or even 14.5" re-crown it , thread it for a heavy ar-15 style FH to dampen them vibes .
maybe change that brass pill to "jet down" the gas a little.
generally tighten up some of the gas and moving parts with better bolts and threading ----
maybe a do a little work on the sights and the trigger--won't be as easy ans an AR--still can be done.
i am sure you could make a mini a decent arm with a little tune -up work.
that is probably where i would start.
It does appear that some ammo is back in stock, and parts seem to be coming back, too.
Maybe when the dust settles we can get back to doin' what we like to do.
Maybe not...

Linda Altman, a graduate of the Lesley Class of 1957, characterizes her alma mater as "a university of total excellence."
Linda Altman says she is even more proud of Lesley today than when she graduated to become a teacher in the Garden City public schools.
Reflecting on her Lesley education, she recalls that growing up on Long Island, New York, she always wanted to be a teacher. "My high school guidance counselor recommended Lesley as a good teaching college," she recalls. Upon visiting, she fell in love with Lesley. "It was so close knit — with wonderful teachers. And the whole atmosphere in Cambridge was so intellectually stimulating."
Altman immersed herself in her studies, which involved plenty of observation and hands-on practice in local elementary schools. "The best way to learn how to teach is to see different styles," she says. "Then, you can decide which work best and how you'd like to implement them in your own classroom." In the 1950s, Linda remembers that "Lesley taught very innovative approaches for the day — like taping students and playing things back in class. We also took child psychology courses and visited different centers that taught children with disabilities. Lesley was definitely a very forward-thinking place."
Once out in the work world, Linda found that her degree opened doors. "As they are today, back then Lesley teachers were highly regarded," she recalls. "Wherever I applied, they readily welcomed Lesley graduates." Following graduation, Altman returned to New York and taught elementary school in Garden City before staying home to raise three daughters.
Now a grandmother of eight, living in Westchester County, New York, Linda Altman is an active volunteer. She serves on the board at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University and works with a local Jewish foundation to help under-resourced women develop self-confidence and self-esteem. With her husband, Earle, a New York City real-estate developer, she is also a patron of Carnegie Hall.
Through the years and the distance, however, Lesley has remained close to Linda's heart. She's been a faithful and generous contributor the University's Annual Fund. "I want to do what I can to help make this a better world. Teachers are mentors to future generations of our children," she explains. "We need to support education, and Lesley turns out very good teachers. I support Lesley because I want to make sure they continue to graduate the best teachers — not just those who are the most intelligent, but also those who are the most passionate about teaching."
Linda Altman is impressed by her alma mater's continued excellence in teacher preparation and a growing number of other fields. "I love the way Lesley has expanded over the years — becoming co-ed, adding the arts, dance, and all of the graduate programs," she says. Lesley kept hold of what it was good at and has built on those strengths. Now, I think Lesley University is definitely on the map. And I want to make sure we keep expanding that map, with the help and support of Lesley alumni."Fall 2012

Malaysia has been ruled by a Muslim majority which traditionally has ignored opposition parties and has never shown much interest in the rights of women. Human rights activist Elizabeth Wong who has stood up to the government suddenly has been confronted by a smear campaign which allegedly was carried out by a spurned lover. The man took pictures of Ms.
Wong while she was asleep and then showed the pictures to the media and they are all over the Internet. The human rights organization, Suaram(Voice of the People) believes the entire matter was orchestrated by members of the opposition to get rid of a voice which speaks loudly in favor of women's rights. Although Ms. Wong announced her resignation, many organizations and journalists and politicians are urging her to reconsider the decision and remain in public life even though it might be personally embarrassing.
Mr. Swee Seng raised a key issue by suggesting 'this case is an example of violence to women. It's not the perpetrator that's being punished here, but the victim." One can only wonder what would be the reaction if a woman took pictures of her male lover and plastered them all over the media. Do nude pictures of male politicians count less than those of women. Stand up for your beliefs Ms. Wong, and the rest of us won't even take a peek at the pictures!

Watching a livestreamed show should always be like Prada's. It's like watching a film, they use several cameras that travel around the runway and you get to see the show from different angles and have a look at the details. I saw the Prada F/W 2013/2014 Hommes yesterday, and the runway decoration was great (check some of the best runways from last season). The collection is amazing too. It was set at Prada's space in Milan, and it imitated a sort of ideal home. An editor that was tweeting from the show said that it was like being inside a Sims house, and he was right, the furniture looked like digitally animated graphics. In fact, there were some fake windows with animated city landscapes and giant cats that appeared out of nowhere.
There were desks, coffee tables, computers, sofas, guitars, typewriters… Made in wood and pink and blue foam. Everything was designed by OMA, the architecture label co-founded by Miuccia's friend Rem Koolhaas. This collection is made of 12 furniture pieces and will be sold in Knoll, a famous furniture house whose creations are exhibited at the MoMA in New York.

The best natural peanut butters and jellies
By Matthew Thompson, March 1, 2012 - 4:00pm
There was a year of my life, first grade, when I literally ate peanut butter and jelly sandwiches every single day without fail, even on weekends. It's not that I was a timid eater—at that age I was happily sampling my mom's macrobiotic vegan experiments and even requesting some favorites of my own—it's just that when you find a good thing you stick with it.
And I did, tenaciously. Though other meals made it into the lunch rotation after a year or two, peanut butter and jelly was a mainstay throughout my childhood, along with its attendant variations: peanut butter and banana, peanut butter and Fluff, peanut butter straight-from-the-spoon-hold-the-bread.
It wasn't a bad thing, nutrition-wise. While peanut butter is high in fat and is a concentrated source of calories, it's not fattening—you just don't want to go overboard. Luckily, you don't need much to feel satisfied: just a tablespoon (90 calories) or two of peanut butter goes a long way. Plus, peanut butter provides protein and folate, a B vitamin important for the healthy development of new cells.
Related: 9 "Bad" Foods You Should Be Eating
But there came a point in adulthood when I started paying attention to things like grams of sodium per serving and just what "hydrogenated soybean oil" is. I'd read the long, trailing list of ingredients on favorite products and wonder, "What the heck is this stuff?" What exactly makes my favorite creamy peanut butter so creamy? Do I even want to know?
Don't Miss: How to Avoid Unhealthy Oils in Packaged Foods
That's why I'm such a fan of natural peanut butters. Take all the extra junk out of a normal jar and what you've got left is just plain old mashed-up peanuts with a pinch of salt. Delicious. Some might be turned off by the way oil separates out, but I've found that if you simply leave the peanut butter upside down for about an hour, the oil will migrate up to the jar bottom so it's easier to stir without making a mess. After stirring, you can store it in the refrigerator.
Of course, not all natural peanut butters, or jellies for that matter, are created equal. EatingWell taste-tested different brands of smooth natural peanut butters to find some of the best of the bunch that are nationally available. We put a range of low-sugar strawberry jams and jellies to the test too. (Why strawberry? I think I speak objectively for PB&J fans everywhere when I say that strawberry is obviously the best.) Our guidelines: Anything containing high-fructose corn syrup was eliminated right off the bat. The ingredients had to list strawberries first or second, juice concentrates were the preferred sweetener and a tablespoon of jam had to contain 40 or less calories.
So, savor our results! Next time you get a hankering for creamy, toasted peanuts and sweet, sticky jam, you can feel confident knowing you're reaching for reader-approved favorites.
The results of our natural peanut butter taste test:
Smucker's Natural: Creamy
The omnipresent Smucker's brand garnered high marks in all categories. Tasters called its grainier texture "the crunchy-lover's smooth" and said it had "more peanut butter taste." It was one taster's top pick for natural peanut butter.
Woodstock Farms Organic: Smooth/Salted
This selection was a bit too grainy and sticky for some, but one taster said, "It's perfect! It has a nice, sweet taste the others don't really have." Another taster liked its looks and "great flavor," while others found it grainy, bitter and too thick or said it tasted really good but "looked like Dijon mustard."
Teddie Old Fashioned: Smooth
Tasters loved this peanut butter's "very peanuty" taste and "good consistency." While some found it "too salty," and one taster commented that "it was so sticky it was hard to swallow," the general consensus was that this was a well-flavored and textured option.

Other natural peanut butters we liked:
MaraNatha Organic: Creamy & Roasted

The results of our low-sugar strawberry jam/jelly taste test:
Polaner All-Fruit Strawberry
The top pick, Polaner All-Fruit, has graced the supermarket shelves with its fruit- and fruit-juice-sweetened jams for nearly 20 years. Two panelists selected it as their favorite in taste and it was one panelist's top for texture. One taster waxed poetic about its, "Explosive taste, rich texture." Another added, "Its tart taste was honestly strawberry." A third loved its "nice chunks of berries."
Smucker's Low Sugar Strawberry Preserves
The ubiquitous supermarket staple, Smucker's Low Sugar option was the panel's second-favorite. The only sample containing added color, it received the highest marks from our panel in the appearance category. One taster thought it had a "smooth vibrant color," while another added that its "color and texture were appealing." Tasters enjoyed its "nice fruit taste—most like a real strawberry." Alas, some saw through the "red 40" in the ingredient list: one taster complained, "This is way too red."
365 Organic Strawberry Conserves
The child-friendly house brand of natural-foods giant Whole Foods also made the grade with our panelists, particularly one who cited it as his favorite in all three categories. A second taster praised its "delicate and rich strawberry flavor" and a third said it had "a good strawberry taste" without being "overly sweet." But another wasn't a fan of its appearance, noting it "spreads a bit too thinly for great jam."

text: If rate of passage of time can be varied, or influenced, by other physical phenomena, it is conceivable that a negative delta can be achieved somehow. The real hard part is the implications of that action. For instance, at relativistic speeds, you could actually slow the time inside a capsule where the time elapsed inside the capsule is much shorter than the time elapsed for an external observer, say people on Earth. Now that capsule has not really gone forward in time, but for all practical purposes it appears like it did. Since we perceive time in a linear fashion, this isn't hard for us to grasp. But, what would happen if somehow a device was built that can actually travel backwards in time? Will the actions of those that move backwards in time impact the future? There is an inherent paradox there, but it is only a paradox because our minds are not wired to understand the true nature of time. We are three-dimensional beings, and if time is indeed a fourth dimension, there is no way we can understand this concept. No more than a rectangle or a triangle can comprehend what a pyramid is.

"Griffs fly together," senior Stephanie Schmalz said it as we boarded the plan to UNC and as funny as it sounds it's true. Our game against UNC didn't go as we had planned, but it was another great learning experience to be able to play No. 1 before we get into conference play.
Coming off of our trip we learned a few important things:
1) February in North Carolina doesn't mean snow boots and parkas like it does in Buffalo, it means shorts and t-shirts to practice, sunglasses at lunch and for our more pale teammates: sunscreen!
2) TSA prefers it when flyers have proof of id more valid than a copied birth certificate and social security card…cough cough, Sami Franco.
3) If you have the right flight attendant and ask in just the right way you can score an entire case of pretzels to share.
4) Other passengers LOVE photo bombing team pictures and the occasional selfie.
5) It is now socially acceptable to get on the loud speaker in every aircraft …Tori Greco
6) DO NOT leave your phone, tablet or computer unattended with one of your teammates because it will lead to less than flattering tweets, Facebook status and Instagram posts.
7) Whoever the entrepreneur is who brings Chick-fil-a to Buffalo will make a fortune from CCWLAX alone …especially coach Teeter who thoroughly enjoyed his chocolate-chip cookie sundae.
8) The Baltimore airport not only has an Auntie Anne's that gives out samples near closing time, but also has a Chipotle and a Starbucks …all of which kept us fueled during our layover at BWI.
9) We have the best support system around, our cheering section blew UNC's away. We had parents, grandparents, friends and alumni travel to our game from Ohio, Connecticut, New York, Maryland, and North Carolina. Thank you to everyone that made an appearance and those who were cheering from home! We were even lucky enough to add a few people to our traveling roster including my dad, Caroline Ogden's dad and Maria and Gabe Kotas' dad who all joined us on our various flights to and from North Carolina.
It was great to take in the warm weather for a few days and being off campus was refreshing for all of us. This week is all about putting in the hours in the classroom and on the field. We are getting caught up on school work -- or at least trying to. Our three hour library session last night was not as productive as planned for some of us. In addition we are fine tuning aspects of our game against Colgate on Tuesday and our home opener against Ohio State on Saturday. Hope to see you there!
Just Keep Re'Laxing

text: Let me just say that I'm more of a reader on this board than a poster. I really feel like I don't have much to contribute to posts so that I is why I normally just read the posts. I do think there is some good advice that is given here and that is why I am now asking for advice. Here goes..I befriended a soldier a few years ago through a program where I would send this soldier care packages every month. Well, this soldier and I ended up having a lot in common and we would share things. He's even told me things that he hasn't told anyone else, and I do believe that because of what he told me. We've talked on the phone and have flirted with each other at times. I really do enjoy talking to this guy and he's even invited me to come visit him in Boston since I've always wanted to go there and visit the historical sites. The issue is my looks. He knows what my face looks like but not my body. He has asked for more pics and I always give him an excuse about why I didn't send a pic. I haven't sent him a pic because I am overweight and I am ashamed in how I look. I am trying to lose weight but it's hard. I know I do need to tell him about my body but I don't know how I should do it. Should I send him a pic or just tell him? I know I need to do this soon but I am afraid that he will stop talking to me. Part of me feels like he should have an idea that I am overweight since I keep giving him excuses for not sending him a pic (excuses like."oh, my camera broke', "phone is not charged" "left the camera/phone at my folks house" and so on). But I also know that if he walks away from me then he's not worth being a friend. So, how would you tell someone about your body? In case you are wandering, yeah, I do have very low self-esteem. I've always have and always will. Thanks!

Not really familiar w/ Taurus handguns, so I can't offer any comments...
I'm thinking about this gun. Anyone with experience with it? So far I hear either good things or nothing.
Not really familiar w/ Taurus handguns, so I can't offer any comments...
I own two Tauruses now, a PT100AR(SS) (40 S&W) and a PT145 Millenium Pro (45ACP). I like both handguns. Their effective range is good for self defense and overall, for the price, it's pretty tough to beat the performance. Having no experience with the PT940, I can't recommend that particular handgun and Taurus has been known to have occasional problems with particular models. The PT145 Millenium was problematic from what I've read, however with the Millenium Pro model, all of those bugs were corrected.
I found a few reviews for Tauruses and they seem mixed, overall.
I Have never onwed a 940 but have shot one several times, a friend of mine has one. It has never failed he or I any time we have shot it. I do own two pt-111's and have owned a pt92 and various Taurus revolvers over the years and have never had to use their lifetime warranty. Taurus has always been good to me.
I bought it. Here it is:
Shoots great, breaks down easy; size and weight are just right, particularly for an all-metal gun.
The taurus web site shows a model without a tactical rail - this one has one.
Built the 28th of April, this year.

How to drop a dress size in half an hour…
January 19th, 20100
Did you know that by wearing the right size bra, your boobs are placed where they should be, your waist is defined and this can result in dropping a whole dress size?
So many women are wearing the wrong size bra, by wearing the wrong size your boobs are not properly supported and this can be very uncomfortable and involve lots of hoiking up of the straps and readjusting throughout the day. Also, if the back size of your bra is too big, your boobs can fall much lower than they should be, this can cause problems when trying to find the right clothing size.
At Bravissimo, we don't use tape measures as we acknowledge the fact that boobs come in all different shapes, sizes and that the volume of the boobs can also vary greatly. Our bra fitters have the experience to know a good fit and how to tell if you're wearing the wrong size. Our bra fitting appointments are one on one, that way you get our full attention and we help you to find your correct size. And remember, the girls have been there before themselves, so there's no need to feel nervous. We also understand that some of us can feel a little embarrassed about the size of our boobs, but there's nothing more uplifting than a properly fitting, comfortable bra that you can wear all day, the size is just a number.

Historic preservation wouldn't be complete without artifacts and records of things long past. That's the focus of the Drawings and Documents Archive, which collects and preserves records about Indiana's historic sites and structures. It also has a large repository of information about the careers of Hoosier architects, landscape architects, planners, engineers, and builders.
The archive's mission is the preservation and dissemination of historical information about Indiana's built environment. Stored within the archive are more than 100,000 drawings and renderings by practitioners across Indiana—some from present day and some as old as the late 19th century. Collections include specifications, photographs, and business records representing more than 40 firms and agencies.
Biographical files can be found in the archive, along with data files about individual properties and historic districts, and a library of reference material formerly used in professional practice.

Following the news that Jermaine Pennant has extended his spell at Leeds United until the end of the season, here's an update on all the Arsenal players currently out on loan.
Francis is on loan at Goodison Park until the end of the season. The young striker, who scored on his debut for England last year, has made 21 appearances for the Toffees since heading back to Merseyside in August. Francis has scored two goals - both against Fulham - and was a substitute when Arsenal drew 1-1 at Everton in January.
Leeds United
Jermaine will remain on loan at Elland Road until the end of the season. The England Under-21 winger has made 32 appearances for the Yorkshire club in 2003/04 and scored one goal, a cracker against Chelsea. Jermaine has been on the losing side twice against Arsenal this season - the 4-1 FA Cup defeat in January and the 5-0 Premiership defeat last Friday.
Gio has made 28 appearances for Barcelona in the Primera Liga this season. He's been a regular at left-back and has helped the Catalan club put together an unbeaten run of 11 games which has propelled them up to third place in the table. Gio has yet to score for Barcelona and is due back at Highbury at the end of the campaign.
Colchester United
Liam has been a regular in Colchester's defence this season, making 45 appearances for the U's. The 22-year-old helped Colchester reach the Southern Final of the LDV Vans Trophy, where they lost on aggregate to Southend. Liam played in the 3-1 win over Division One side Coventry which took Colchester into the fifth round of the FA Cup. He is due back at Arsenal at the end of the season.
Stoke City
Sebastian spent the first half of the season on loan at FC Copenhagen in his native Denmark, but he moved to Stoke City at the turn of the year. Since then Sebastian has made 11 appearances for the Division One club and scored his solitary goal in a 1-1 draw against Sunderland at the Stadium of Light.
Southend United
Nicky has been an ever-present for the Division Three club since joining them on loan in March. The Shrimpers have lost just one of the five games Nicky has featured in. He is due back at Highbury at the end of the season.
Igors has spent the season on loan at Beveren. He has been a regular for the Belgian club and helped them reach the Belgian Cup final. Igors will represent Latvia at Euro 2004 in June, the first time his country has qualified for a major tournament.
After three appearances for the first team in the Carling Cup, Stathis headed to Lille in the New Year to spend the rest of the season on loan. He has started 12 games for Lille so far and helped them towards a mid-table finish in the French League.

Meeting the legends of Australian surfing
21/02/2013 , 10:29 PM by Dominic Knight
It's fifty years since the foundation of the Australian Surfriders' Association. To celebrate, its successor Surfing Australia decided to put together a list of the 10 surfers had been most influential in the history of surfing in Australia, both in terms of their achievements on the board and their overall contribution to the sport's development.
Competition to get onto the list was intense, to say the least.
It was a great reason to think about the history of the sport in Australia, which contains many fascinating personalities. Surfing aficionado Mark Bannerman (who's also a producer with Four Corners) joined me to talk about some of the giants of surfing in Australia:
Here's the list that Surfing Australia's expert panel and the members of the public who voted came up with - is there anyone they, or we, missed?
- Mark Richards
- Simon Anderson
- Nat Young
- Michael Peterson
- Midget Farrelly
- Tom Carroll
- Layne Beachley
- Wayne Bartholomew
- Mark Occhilupo
- Bob McTavish

looks great!
Very sweet, I'm about to paint my bells as well, what weathering method dod you use for all the dents?
I've been using pastels an awful lot, the paintjob is all topical.....the dents were just plain old testors silver. I used dark gray pastels around the very inside rim of the dents to give them a little more depth. Black washed accrylic and a few smudges of black pastel here and there with a cotton ball followed by a nice dose of Testors Dull Cote. Used the same method with the chest armor.SMGesus said:

Cool thanks for the info! But on the silver spots it looks like they're outlined in a cream yellow color, so did you sponge on the yellow then the silver over it?
Sorry for all the Q's just wanna get this right.
That's looking sweet, can't wait to ya in complete FETT
Yeah, you're right, I painted the cream yellow after spraying the bells yellow, then painted the silver in the dents.SMGesus said:
same as what I always do! no mustard or whatever... can;t wait to test that out though...
do yuo black wash over ur silver spots? I do, mist aswell, then redo the silver parts after that, gives you 2 colours of silver 2 work with, 1. dulled by mist silver, 2. brighter "new" silver

Anyone having problems registering for this game?
I keep having the "verification code error".
I mean, it's obvious that the code is "HWOP" , but they give a stupid error saying is doesn't work.
And my friends saw the code code as i do. So please don't assume that i am seeing the wrong thing. If you do, go burn in hell and scram off from this thread. Thanks.
Fixed. This topic can be locked since the webmasters cleared that issue.

Law Faculty in the Blogosphere
Wayne State University Law School congratulates Professor Steven Davidoff on his entry into the blogosphere. Professor Davidoff has just started a blog on M&A (Mergers and Acquisitions) at http://lawprofessors.typepad.com/mergers/
The blog will track news and developments regarding mergers and acquisitions in the business community. It is a popular resource not only for law faculty but also for those working in the financial community.
Professor Davidoff is the fourth faculty member from the Law School to have a blog (or web log). The other faculty members who blog are:
Peter Henning with the White Collar Crime Prof Blog at http://lawprofessors.typepad.com/whitecollarcrime_blog/
This blog focuses on current developments in a wide range of criminal prosecutions and law enforcement investigations at the state and federal level, including corruption, securities fraud, perjury, and corporate misconduct. Professor Henning's co-author is Prof. Ellen Podgor of Stetson University.
Linda Beal writes A Taxing Matter at http://ataxingmatter.blogs.com/tax/
She addresses U.S. federal income and payroll taxes and how the tax system works, who does and doesn't pay taxes, and use and politicization of tax information. While the focus is on Americans in the lower and middle income ranges, there are also discussions of corporate tax issues, tax shelters, legislation, and the intersection of ethical and statutory requirements for tax practitioners.
Derek Bambauer brought his blog to the Law School when he joined the faculty last year. He writes Info/Law with Tim Armstrong (University of Cincinnati College of Law) and Bill McGeveran (University of Minnesota Law School) at http://blogs.law.harvard.edu./infolaw/ about the convergence of intellectual property doctrine, communications regulations, new technology, and First Amendment norms.
Michael McIntyre created Taxation and Development as a blog where international tax specialists (including Law School professors Linda Beal and Alan Schenk, whose area of expertise is Value Added Tax) post materials of interest to officials in developing countries and for researchers interested in tax and development. The site includes primary tax reform documents, representative tax treaties and recent research. It is located at http://www.law.wayne.edu/tad/

I am a teacher in Peru teaching privately to small groups of students. I am interested to know what course books people recommend. I am using Headway at the moment, but am not sure it's the best.
The books need to be appropriate to adult learners, (Preintermediate to Advanced) with plenty of speaking, listening and pronunciation activities (that's what the student's want) but also sufficient grammar etc.
Many of the students are also interested in business English so if anyone also has information on good business English course books, that will be great.
Thanks in advance. Tom

Linux Mint 12 Mini Review
6 comments:
Ubuntu and Mint have something in common. It seems that Ubuntu is not listening to its users and you have Unity and Mint is listening to its users, so you have this mixed interface.ReplyDelete
I think Mint should focus on Gnome 3 just like Fedora does at least for the main edition based on Ubuntu. They should make a better and default Gnome Shell experience that could be better for Ubuntu users if they want Gnome 3 but without the Unity overhead.
- saisilenceNovember 17, 2011 at 10:18 PM
Forgive me for saying it so bluntly but I can not understand your whining about LM 12 being the 'worst'. I have not used the previous releases so maybe that's why but for me the New Mint is the way Gnome 3 should look from the beginning. They achieved something awesome, they actually made gnome 3 work.ReplyDelete
After few months worth of suffering on Unity, Switching to Mint made my PC work again.
saisilence: "Worst" sounds a bit harsh there, I admit it, but that's what I meant... Mint 12 is simply worse than other releases that preceded it.ReplyDelete
As for making GNOME 3 work and what you mention that that's how it should have been from the start, I disagree. The biggest chunk of integration took place thanks to Ubuntu developers, Mint is simply building on that. GNOME Shell is a paradigm shift in DEs, and I personally find it is great. It is way better than Unity (at least currently) and has been since it first came out. I personally believe that trying to force a classic desktop approach on top of GNOME Shell is defeating the purpose, does not make sense, and will never work as good as a DE that was designed like that from the start.
If you like the classic desktop approach, I recommend you switch to KDE through Kubuntu 11.10. If you have never used it, it will likely take a bit of getting used to, but once you get to grips with it, it is awesome.
- AnonymousNovember 21, 2011 at 4:41 AM
I think this initial review is premature and ill-titled: The RC in the case of Mint12 has been largely received as more unpolished than usual, on the understanding that the Mint team is seeking feedback from the community earlier in the process. Based on that feedback they have recently announced significant improvements toward the actual release...ReplyDelete
As I read everywhere I also read it here: Mint (and other distributions) have to make Gnome 3 ready to be used. Does anyone ever think about this, about what is going on here? Gnome decided to ruin computing by making an interface which resembles a tablet or a smartphone, two items I don't own and will never own.ReplyDelete
Now the OS-makers have to work month after month to change it back to what it was because that is what people want.
Think about this absurd situation. If you ever talk about wasting good money, this is it.
Gnome changes from A to B and the OS'es change back from B to A. And we all except it blindly. Well, we all minus me.
What should be done is this:
We, all of us Linux lovers around the world, should just abandon Gnome completely until they come crawling back with the Gnome we all want. As long as they keep working on these gadgets (because that's all it is) we have to stop using it.
Result: either they change again and we are happy because we can use Gnome again, or they go bankrupt and nobody sheds a tear because nothing is lost.
It is ridiculous that so many OS developers have to work many months just to repair what Gnome had broken. I wrote them that and received very arrogant answers.
Be wise and abandon Gnome until they come back crawling with their tails between their legs begging us to please use their product again.
If not we will be stuck with the hell that is Gnome3.
DeMus, I am afraid I don´t agree with you.ReplyDelete
GNOME Shell is a great DE which can do as much as GNOME 2.x, plus it is way more consistent and stable. Yes, effects and customization are not there, but so what? GNOME aims at a simple to use DE, one that does not get in the way and allows its users to get the most out of it, and it very much succeeds.
The notification system, remote accounts and dynamic desktops are just a few examples of things that used to be toys being put to serious work, and they are also examples of the Linux desktop leading the way with great creative ideas that simply work.
I suggest you take some time to learn the few basic concepts that make a HUGE difference when using GNOME Shell (Tweak tool, keyboard shortcuts, extensions, how to customize themes, etc.) and then spend a week or two working with it, using nothing else. If you are interested in more than eye candy, I guarantee you will appreciate GNOME Shell.
On a different note, the fact that people are lazy and comfortable with something old and known does not mean that old thing is good. Classic GNOME was great in many ways, but was also bad in many ways.

Please Report Swallow-tailed Kite Sightings
Biologist, Jennifer Coulson, and the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) request reports of sightings of this rare bird. Of particular interest are:
- any sightings of a kite on LDWF managed lands,
- areas where kites are often seen,
- sightings of more than one kite,
- sightings were kite(s) vocalized (giving kee-kee-kee, or klee-klee-klee calls),
- kites carrying nest material or food,
- nests or roosts, and
- any kites found injured, ill, or dead.
Please report the following information about each sighting (if known):
- Date of sighting
- Time of day
- Number observed
- Location [please be specific and include the Parish or County, nearest town and approximate distance to it, nearest road (including street address if applicable) or road junctions, nearest river or creek]
- What birds were observed doing (e.g., one perched in a cottonwood while another circled overhead)
- Observer's name and contact information (phone number with area code and e-mail address)
To Report a Sighting:
E-mail Jennifer Coulson: firstname.lastname@example.com [3]
Or call her: (504) 717-3544
Jennifer Coulson is studying the population ecology of the Swallow-tailed Kite. She is trying to determine: the geographic range of this species within Louisiana and Mississippi, the current population size, and factors that may limit the current population size. Aspects of her study include nest monitoring, a radio-telemetry based survivorship study, characterization of nesting and roosting habitat, and aerial surveys of premigration roosts.

I am planning to take a TEFL Certification course within the next few months and have been extensively researching options of all types. I have pretty much ruled out the online only certifications for both my own reasons and the limitations they inherently have with regards to real life human-human interaction in teaching, job opportunities overseas (I am looking at Asia), flexibility, and even salary. The three big name, full-time options of CELTA, Trinity, and SIT are all great for very obvious reasons to me. I understand how valuable they are, yet it isn't appealing to me to quit my already full-time and decent job (albeit growing increasingly unsatisfying) in order to get either of these before seriously applying for jobs. This has lead me to wondering why there aren't more part-time TEFL certifications over 2 or 3 months for those that would like to have a source of income during training and aren't concerned with cramming as much material into as short a period of time as possible in attaining a TEFL certification. I understand the business aspect of CELTA in taking four weeks... they can have more classes and train more people in a given year which ultimately is more profitable for them, but I would like to better absorb what I am being exposed to and learning.
Has anyone here done combination part time programs such as the one at TEFL Institute's website? They have a 120 hour program that is 50 in-classroom onsite, peer to peer training, 50 of online, and 20 of practicum. Some others I have discovered don't have the practicum but are still considered 100 hours total but all are over the course of several weekends over the course of several weeks. For those of you that have more experience in the TEFL world, how would you rate something like this? Pros and Cons? I really appreciate any advice and thoughts you have!

Pair of Double-Doubles Help Phoenix to 2-0 Start
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
RENO, Nevada (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - Playing its opening game of the World Vision Classic in Reno, Green Bay (2-0) jumped out to an early lead and used a pair of double-doubles to down Southern Utah (0-2) 66-54 on Friday night. The Phoenix improved to 2-0 for the first time since the 1995-96 season. Green Bay, whose game did not end until nearly 1 a.m., will be back in action at 8:05 p.m. CT on Saturday to play tournament host, Nevada (1-1).
Junior Alec Brown (Winona, Minn.) and senior Brennan Cougill (Sioux City, Iowa) each scored 17 points to lead the Phoenix and grabbed 13 and 10 rebounds, respectively. Brown, who was limited to just eight minutes in the first half because of taking an elbow, registered his 12th career double-double.
In Green Bay's Division I history, there have been only four occasions with teammates recording double-doubles in the same game. Three of the four have come in the past three seasons under head coach Brian Wardle.
Getting two early three-pointers from sophomore Keifer Sykes (Chicago, Ill.), Green Bay raced to a double-digit lead just eight minutes in and led 23-10 at the 9:57 mark. Brown went to the bench just three minutes into the game, but returned with four minutes left in the half. The 7-foot-1 All-Horizon League player had the last four points of the half and had nine points, five boards and a pair of blocks at the break despite logging just eight minutes. Green Bay led 34-24 at intermission.
Brown scored four of the first six points of the second half to push the Phoenix lead to 42-28 with 16:40 to play. The Thunderbirds used an 6-0 spurt to cut the deficit to eight and on five other occasions cut the Green Bay lead to single digits, but each time the Phoenix responded with a bucket and finished off the win.
Sykes, who scored 31 points in the opener, added 13 points and four assists while freshman Carrington Love (Milwaukee, Wis.) gave the Phoenix a fourth double-figure scorer with a career-high 11 points. Sykes was a perfect 3-of-3 from long range while Love went 5-of-7 from the field.
Led by Brown and Cougill, Green Bay had a 51-40 edge on the boards and tallied eight blocks, tied for the fifth most in program history.
On Saturday, Green Bay faces a Nevada team that won 28 games a season ago and has one of the country's top mid-major players in Deonte Burton. The Wolfpack got 19 points from Burton on Friday to rally past Cal State Fullerton 80-77.

Lounging Walrus

A large, male Atlantic walrus rests with his tusks dug into the sand in Alaska's Togiak National Wildlife Refuge. Walrus tusks are multitaskers, used to grip the ice when hauling out of the water, wielded as weapons in territory or mating battles, and even brandished against attacking polar bears.

Walrus mothers are extremely nurturing, constantly hugging and nuzzling their babies. They often keep their young on ice floes to avoid the crush of the jostling walrus crowds on land.

Pups can swim within hours of their birth but stay with their mothers for up to two years before going off on their own. Mothers teach their pups crucial skills, such as how to spot polar bears and how to haul out onto the ice using their tusks.

Two Atlantic walruses snuggle on an ice floe near Igloolik, Nunavut, Canada. Walruses have enormous appetites and hunt for food almost constantly. Their distinctive whiskers are extremely sensitive and help them locate clams and other shellfish buried on the seafloor. They use their ample lips to suction out the meat.

Atlantic walruses look for some personal space in Alaska's Togiak National Wildlife Refuge. Both male and female walruses grow tusks, which are simply canine teeth that continue to grow throughout their lives. Tusks range in shape and size and are not proportionate to body size. Some walruses have been found with tusks protruding 3 feet (0.9 meters) from their mouths.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Junk yard is the only place I know of and I know its no fun tracking it down or paying theyre rediculous prices anymore. you cant even pull your own dadgum part in some places.
you may be able to find some s10 enthusiasts out there with shops or parts too.
keep in mind other harnesses may work, you just have to research it. by ecm number on differnt vehicles, by accessories or part number at the dealer... there are a few ways your could do it. obviously the vehicles would all have a 2.8.
the most likely victim will be a cavelier or one of chevys cars - or something of like size.
good luck man I know its a paoin in the butt!
Here is my dilema,
I bought this truck very cheap. $400.00. The body is near perfect. It is an extended cab, short bed with A/C. At the very least I figure it would make a nice 350 conversion project. It is an 86 model. The original motor was tired. The fellow before me finds an 93 s-10 with a 2.8 v6 in it that has been rolled. The motor runs like brand new. Only 35000 miles. He pays a buddy to swap the 93 motor into the 86. They leave the original harness in the 93 and it goes off to a junk yard. When they removed the ecm from the 93, they just cut the wires about six inches from the ecm and put the ecm in a box of other parts that came with the truck. After I buy the truck i find out the motor has been switched. The seller tells me it ran fine when in the 93, but after installing it in the 86 it won't run at all. Cranks over, catches and then shuts down. Now I am thinking instead of a project truck, i should trouble shoot this vehicle and run it for a bit just to feel out the suspension and do some body tweaking and gear up for the 350 swap, drop kit, etc. So, I go to a couple junk yards looking for the harness and find out that not too many s10's had the 2.8 engine in them. I have the original ecm to this engine, but need the correct year harness. I really think I should try this before moving on and changning things and getting confused. Where can I find an 93 ecm harness for 2 wheel drive, 2.8, a/c, auto. truck?
alldata is cool...
it should work
always go newer ecu vs. newer harness
as they do alot of software and harware config updates on a random basis.
I am thinking I bought a performance pcm for my 95 dodge
and whoever programmed it did not update the prom.
when I said just chop some g wires and make it work.... I guess Im stuck in the 80s too... and I was thinking about older stuff which is still an easy out option if you ask me.
If you already got the block in, I would cross reference the year make block with the year make harness/ecm and see how many years and vehicles they used that harness/ecm on and what the difference is between it and the previous version - and the latter. it may also be possible to use even newer parts, you never know with these lazy manafacturers. newer harness and ecm may give you more upgrading options if your looking for speed.
I dont know much about the chevy's except I love 'em. but for instance - on my dodge they used the same harness I have from 94 to 96 or so for most dodge rams dakotas and jeep wagons. you will wind up with unused connectors but its way less expensive to make.
by switches I was referring to 4 wd electric lock outs, OD bypass, hi beams and all the like. the harness has to have all the same circuits to work.
yes you can cross-ref by part number thats probably the best waY. It will be alot of research, but its possible.
Is your truck 4wd? considered forced induction?
you know if it turns out to be a hassle you can always put the 2.8 on a skateboard!
Well I had a 88 s10 with a 2.8 it was a TBI type fuel system so thats what I figure you have too.
If you dont have any experience with fuel injection youll have a lot less trouble putting it back to stock configuration, at least then you can follow the wiring diagram.
If your trying to convert over to central sequential injection I think your going to get in over your head because now your going to be following two wiring diagrams and melding them together. Plus most of the sensors and such dont have the same type connectors.
You can get a good wiring diagram here.
I would have to think they would try to keep the harness the same for a couple of years in a row. Someone out here has to know the answer to this. My mind is stuck back in the seventies. All this computer stuff is new to me, with the cars. I wonder if there is a cross reference site somewhere, or if it can be found by part no. as being the same? Anyone?
Dennis in R.I.
|I would say the 92 harness would work wine as long as it was from the same model car with a 2.8L engine and the correct type of fuel injection. But maybe someone else here will know, cause my brain is still stuck in the 80's sometimes with cars.
I don't think that a 2.8 will fly, but when i got this truck it had just had a 93 2.8 installed in it with only 35000 miles on it. I don't want to pull it out, just want to know if it is going to be a hassle to get the right harness and make it work. Will a 92 harness work on a 93 ecm? Does anyone have this info? Or should I just go to a junk yard and find a 93 set up the same as mine. This truck has a good body with nice paint, great interior, a/c. It is worth the little bit of money i put out for it and just want to make this engine work and use it. Maybe down the road i will do a 350 conversion, but not now. Any help on this is appreciated.
Dennis in R.I.
|Your not going to make a 2.8L fly, sorry just not possible for a cheap price. I would go for the 4.3L V6. Also you will need the harness and computer for installing a TPI/EFI engine. Just swapping the computer will not work unless you redo a new harness.
I found out that the harness was discarded for the 93 2.8 v6 that is now in the truck. I have the original ecu that I can install in the truck, and the plugs that plug into the ecu with all pigtails hanging out of them that they cut to remove the ecu. Now, I found a blazer with 2.8 but it is a 92. I really would like to make this thing fly. You mention switches and etc. and I don't quite understand what switches and how that affects anything, but am probably in for a lesson. Does anyone know if the 92 harness is the same as 93 on all 2.8 vehicles? Or should i go to a junk yard and look for a harness of a 93 s10?, and does it matter if it is an automatic or standard?
Thanx again,
Dennis in R.I.
there are more alternatives than you think!! he is right, the swap had to include the wiring and ecu from the newer vehicle. but then you get into switches and all that crap.
I think you would be better rippin the ecm out and doing a little wiring yourself. plug up most of the junk sensors.
since it is fuel injected you could make your life easier by getting an aftermarket f.a.s.t. system or similar.
If your better with older cars (like most of us) I think this would be a fun way to go. I am considering it on a dodge ram
|If it was me I would start by checking for spark and fuel pressure. Could be all sorts of things wrong. Need to be more clear on what system youre working on before anybody can diagnose it over the internet.
Thank you very much, that is what I was hoping to hear. Now if that is the only problem I will be off and running.
Thanx again,
Dennis in R.I.
the computer and harness should have been swapped out i would say that is your problem.
a 93 which is central injected wont run with a 86 cpu which is either tbi or carb.
I just picked up an 87 s10 and the person i bought it from pulled the original engine out that had bad knock. v6, and replaced it with a 93 v6 same size engine. It will not start, it catches but will not keep running. Acts like it is flooding, or maybe as it catches it decides not to run. I know there is a chip, or chips in the comp. that are referred to as "prom"? The comp. was never swapped out. Or I guess the computer is referred to as ecm. Please correct me if I am wrong about any of this info. If the ecm was not swapped out, would this cause the engine to do what it is doing? As you can see, these newer vehicles are out of my reach, so any help is well appreciated.
Dennis in R.I.

Rector earned a bachelor's degree in music from UST in 1996, followed by both master's and doctoral degrees from Rice University. He worked as an adjunct music professor at St. Thomas from 2002-2003, and returned to his alma mater in 2008 to teach jazz, music theory and composition.
As an undergraduate, Rector studied screenwriting and playwriting extensively. He has written 17 full-length screenplays, nine stage plays, one novel and numerous stories ranging in genre from drama to surreal. He is currently in post-production for his first feature film, Ghosts.
Rector has a passion for working with students, and several of his current UST students, including Brittany Whisenant and Bobby Murillo, are assisting in the production of Ghosts, which was filmed entirely on the UST campus. The story revolves around two music students who agree to work late in a university's music library after the campus closes for the summer. The events that follow push them to the brink of insanity and leave them fighting for their lives.
Rector hopes to sell Ghosts to a distributor upon completion. He has numerous other compositions and productions which have already been recognized globally.
Most recently, Rector's musical score, "Blitzkrieg" has been accepted by the College Music Society for presentation at the 2011 International Conference in Seoul and Gyeongju, South Korea, July 3-10, 2011.
Rector's music video X-Man, which he directed, produced, edited, and composed the music and lyrics, has been aired in four different countries. It was an Official Selection of the Cannes Independent Film Festival in France, the London Independent Film Festival, the Hollywood Black Film Festival, and the San Diego Black Film Festival, and an Official Finalist of the Canada International Film Festival. It also won the Silver Remi Award for Creative Excellence at Worldfest –Houston International Film Festival.
"I especially love the process of creating and the world of imagination," Rector said, "whether it's through writing or directing or composing."
Rector has also received several recent commissions including the composition of a ballet for the Urban Souls Dance Company, and a piece titled, "That's Right!" for former Houston Symphony Orchestra member, Richard Nunemaker.
In addition to spending time composing, producing, and teaching, Rector is also active in the Houston community. In August, he was a guest speaker for the Scriptwriters of Houston group. He also recently composed the theme for the monthly news show, Positively Houston, which airs on PBS 8.2, and has been added as a co-host.

text: Zhulin: the skaters can smell the coach's sincerity. Elena Vaitsekhovskaya for sport-express.ru Zhulin: the skaters can smell the coach's sincerity. In two and half weeks the leading Russian skaters will gather in Novogorsk for the first official test skates. Zhulin is expected to show two of his pairs - the European silver medalists Ekaterina Bobrova/Dmitrii Soloviev and the 2011 Junior World champions Ksenia Monko/Kirill Khaliavin. Knowing how busy Zhulin usually is I didn't expect to set the interview date anytime soon. We spoke about the end of August. I was going to end the call when he suddenly asked `you live not far from Olympiski, right? I've just finished the training, so I could drop by now. What's the address' 15 minutes later we were having tea. EV: Sasha, when Monko/Khaliavin came to you they expected to become n. 1 for their coaches, which they were lacking in Kustarovas' group. Yet right after you accept those very skaters who they were trying to avoid training with. Were you worried they might see it as a conflict of interests? AZ: When we had our first training together I explained them they'd have to prove me who is the best every day. EV: Nevertheless, were Monko/Khalavin shocked by Bobrova/Soloviev's switch to your group? AZ: I guess. I wasn't going to accept Katia and Dima even when they asked. Frankly, I was a bit afraid: they were regressing already. They lacked any style, I didn't like their costumes, some aspects of their technique. But then I decided it was worth a risk. After all Bobrova/Soloviov are still Russia n.1, despite their failure at the Worlds in Nice. They have a potential and it shows. After all they are European silver medalists not for nothing. I explained the four of them that I, myself had my best results when we were training in Dubova's group together with Marina Klimova/Sergey Ponomarenko and Oksana Grischuk/Evegeni Platov. Dubova didn't hide how much she enjoys every training. It was because we were motivating each other and doing our best to make sure the coach pays attention to us. We were not fighting with each others, there were no conflicts within the group. I want to create the same atmosphere in my group now. We can talk all we want about figure skating being subjective and the judges deciding everything, but quoting Tatiana Tarasova - no one cancelled the skating skills. I'm amazed that on Tuesday one pair would be the best, but it would be the others on Wednesday. I have no idea whether it's their ability or their character, but I know for sure a good competition never hurt anyone. Isn't it bad to be the first and second pairs in the world and fight on that level? EV: When both of your pairs started training together did they expect to be divided into the first and the second? AZ: Sure. It's always in the air. And, after all, Katia and Dima are Russia n.1 pair, while Ksenia and Kirill are only 5th. Both pairs have a huge potential, I just have to develop it. Bobrova has to run forward and not look back. Ksenia and Kirill's situation is a bit easier - they have an example in front of them. Let us not forget Yulia Zlobina with Alexey Sitnikov and also the young pair that became much better while looking up to the others - Lera Zenkova with Valerii Sinitsin. There are also the kids in the group who stay on the rink to watch the seniors after their practice is over. EV: When the coach sets a goal he usually knows how to gain it. You more or less voiced your goal by mentioning the fist and second pairs in the world. What needs to be done in order to beat the current champions? AZ: I have some ideas, which, of course, I'm not going to voice out right now. And what for? Have you seen David Rudisha winning the Olympics in London? He created a huge gap at the very beginning and finished first, breaking the world record. It's easy in sport: work hard, do more than the others, be the best on the floor, on the ice and the result will come. What is Igor Shpilband's secret? His students are listening to his every word and never questioned him. And Igor is a very demanding coach. That's the whole secret. When Shibutanis joined the group they saw from the first day how hard Virtue/Moir and Davis/White work. I reckon Maya and Alex realized they would get to that level only by working even harder. The result, as you recall, was the Worlds in Moscow when 3 Zueva/Spilband's pairs were on the podium. That's really cool! Dubova was the only one who've done it before. EV: In Vancouver Olympics where Zueva/Spilband's skaters became first and second the most amazing thing was that the result was absolutely correct. I.e. the coaches were able to prove the ice dance gold medal does not depend on who are the judges AZ: I agree EV: Can you comment Zueva/Spilband's split? AZ: I guess the moment when two people realized they don't want to or can't work together came. I don't know the reason. In my view Marina complimented Igor and Igor complimented Marina. It was a very powerful combination. EV: When you were building your coaching group did you have them in mind as an example? AZ: No. I decided there will be no women in my team. It's enough my wife Natalia works with us. Not that I had to do anything about it, it just happened, but I'm happy. I trust Oleg Volkov completely, we've been working for four years together and I think he trusts me as well. I can say the same about Sergey Petukhov, who joined during the spring. He is an outstanding choreographer, a great coach and an great personality. I'm generally lucky to be a around interesting people. It's Igor Orshuliak who I met through the TV show, Maks Staviskii, who I'm going to use a lot for working with my skaters. Such a bunch of guys we feel comfortable in. Whoever comes to the trainings first of all feels the great atmosphere. Yes, there is a hard work, all the time. And yet everyone smiles. EV: Did you consider your coaching career over when half a year ago Ilinyh/Katsalapov left to be followed immediately by Pechalat/Bourzat? AZ: I lost 4kgs. Volkov lost seven. Oleg took it much harder than me, but it was really hard for me as well. Frankly, I had a harder time then during my divorce. Though now I think everything worked out for the best. Lena and Nikita are unique and working with them is a pleasure. But it's much nicer dealing with very hard working people. It is a huge talent to know how to work. That's the kind of group I have now. No matter what I offer them they do it. I attend every practice as if it was a celebration. It's worth a lot. EV: Typically Zueva and Spilband would start the season with a B competitions, which is almost ignored in Russia. AZ: It's bad practice really and only means we never had skaters who we would not be ashamed to show in August. But we should! That leaves enough time to polish the programmes and to change them before the main competitions. EV: I recall talking to you about two years ago and you reassured me Ilinyh/Katsalapov shouldn't start the season early because they have to peak in January-March. AZ: I was taking into an account they have just switched to the seniors. I was afraid to break them. Not only Lena, but also Nikita seemed too fragile. They could injure themselves in a way that would demand a lot of time to recover. I realized how and in what way I'll take them to Sochi's Olympics. There was no point overdoing things in their first year. EV: Nevertheless it was painful to watch how Ilinyh/Katsalapov are being beaten by the Shibutanis, who switched to the seniors circuit the same year, yet had better standings. The progress was planned by Spilbadn and Zueva. AZ: It is why I kept saying even then Marina and Igor are far ahead of the other coaches. We should change our ways of trainings, our point of view on figure skating. Spilband and Zueva were the first to adopt to the new system. Right after the system was accepted there were lots small competitions in the USA under it. It is why we now have an impression the system was made for the North Americans. Yet here nothing was done about it. I recall working with Tanya Navka and Roman Kostomarov and reading the new system even the little hair I no longer have raised. I didn't know where to start and where to move, how to adopt. EV: And now? AZ: Now I understand. The hardest thing is that nothing is left unpolished. Everything is important. Actually several coaches are needed: for the shape, technique, lifts. acting.... EV: Do you have such coaches in your team. AZ: Of course. We started the season much earlier than usually and it is precisely so we'll be in shape at the Autumn. Monko and Khaliavin missed the whole last season and have to prove themselves. Bobrova / Soloviev have to climb up from where they fell at the Worlds. EV: Are you ready for the mental pressure that can be provoked by such competition within the group? AZ: Yes. So far so good - the guys are not in a situation when they'd divide something that is not yet theirs. If I see a pair is `breaking' or is not comfortable I might add a psychologist to the team. It's not easy for the coach either when you start working with a team, put yourself into it and suddenly the understanding is gone. Of course the skaters were switching coaches and will go on switching coaches. Sometimes it's the right thing to do, sometimes it's not. I decided I'd be as honest as possible. The skaters can smell the coach's dishonesty. EV: You yourself as a skater had to go through a period when your coach bet on another couple, even though your and Maya were the World champions. AZ: It's not exact. When Klimova/Ponomarenko skated in Dubova's group for 4 years Maya and I were not even nearly as good. We became better, but Marina and Sergey switched to Tarasova. And won the Olympics. Maya and I were offered to leave Dubovas' group after the Olympics. I never left and never regretted. EV: Why? AZ: It's just that Dubova picked me when I was in a bad situation. I was 17, I was kicked from everywhere, sometimes I would waste a day drinking alcohol. I stopped skating for half a year. Dubova picked me, promised to find me a partner and she did. She tried to do everything within her power so we'll succeed, and we did. It's not something you forget. SO deep down I knew I'll never betray Dubova. Under no conditions. EV: Yet you and Maya lost the Lillehammer Olympis AZ: Yes. That didn't work out. But other things worked out later. EV: What you would never forgive those you work with? AZ: It's hard to tell. Just that if a person set me up or lied I would let them go easily. But when I see dedication and trust from those I work with I will never let anyone else hurt them. They are my people, those I spend my life with. Oleg Volkov was offered a job in another country for far better money. Yet he stayed. I know for sure we'll make it. If not this Olympics - the next. EV: Do you have any free time? AZ: We are talking now, right? I'm not participating any TV shows this year - there are none. By the way, I was constantly criticized for participating them but I can now tell this year I used 6 musical themes from the `Ice Age' TV show and 3 ideas we came up with during the show. EV: When we met over the spring and I asked what will be the first thing you'll do with Bobrova/Soloviev you said you'll change their dressing style and haircuts. Was it hard? AZ: Quite the opposite: that was the easiest. I'm amazed how open all the guys are to all the suggestions. They are great!
