I'm a visual fine artist and photographer, but have never done graphic design. I have Photoshop Elements and just started to work on learning layering two weeks ago. This shirt designing has been a great incentive for me to learn how to use it.
For everyone's information the items that were "born" in 1948, besides me, (and I'm quite the item!), were a certain fast food chain providing us with billions, and billions of hamburgers and fries, a certain plastic disc inspired by a pie tin from a baking company, a certain word game using tiles, and a certain electric guitar that came out in a solid body, not to mention the fusing of rythmn and blues with electricity which gave birth that year to Rock and Roll!
I actually had the transformers big wheel; and I swear, one day, it actually transformed - just like on this t shirt!!!1
You cannot deny that this is awesome. The dog needs a target over it's face though, everyone always tries to shoot that damn dog.

Thanks Jaden and Taylor. Glad you like it!
You both have been working on some great entries this week! I'm enjoying seeing the range in ages of the designers. I had an idea of a lot of people's ages based on their posts. But, a few designers have surprised me this week.
Taylor- Love the chess one! Great details!
Jaden- Of your entires, I think my favorite is the test-tube baby.

Nice concept, but the purple outlining is a bit odd and as the no text rule is in play it will get rejected dye to the "!"

Seriously, I never would have known that. Then again, I don't find this piece wearable for myself anyway. Every time I look at the piece, I see Africa.

Man, they are really messed up. I'd like to call attention to:
"T-Mobile, the T-Mobile logo,... the T-Mobile acoustic logo, and the color magenta are registered and/or unregistered trademarks..."
I wish I could underline the term "unregistered trademarks" but I can only figure out how to make it bold, which only slightly shows up. That phrase brings up the question, which is an unregistered trademark and which is a registered trademark? My guess, color magenta is unregistered. Also, I don't think that will hold up in court, as long as the company T-Mobile sues isn't another phone company. An unregistered trademark may (key here is may) be considered a protected trademark from what I understand. Sadly, I have too much work on a Title VII paper to look into this one.
So I searched through published case opinion involving Nintendo as the plaintiff (the one suing) and here is the result (Note: I only looked at federal cases because Copyright is a federal issue. And honestly, as a corporation, Nintendo has a better chance suing in a federal court than a state court. Besides, why sue in a state court when you are dealing with a federal issue?):
Nintendo of America, Inc. v. NTDEC, 51 F.3d 281 (9th Cir. 1995) - Nintendo sues NTDEC for reproducing, repackaging, and selling the counterfeit games. I personally feel this is an obvious copyright infringement. (court did too)
Nintendo of America, Inc. v. Lewis Galoob Toys, Inc., 16 F.3d 1032 (9th Cir. 1994) - Nintendo sells for the creation and distribution of the Game Genie. Game Genie won this one.
Nintendo of America, Inc. v. Dragon Pacific Intern., 40 F.3d 1007 (9th Cir. 1994) - Nintendo sues a manufacturer of a gaming console very similar to the NES that created game cartridges with more than 10 games on each cartridge, many of which were copyrighted Nintendo games. Nintendo Won.
And to prevent this from getting too long, the rest of the cases where Nintendo Sued involved more copyright infringement where someone was trying to sell a Nintendo game unlawfully and a case with Nintendo challenging a patent which someone claimed they infringed. Note: none of the cases I found were after 1996. This doesn't mean cases don't exist in which Nintendo sued, it just means those court decisions weren't published by the judge. But for the most part, the infringement cases dealt with actual copying of a game made by Nintendo.
And as a random side note, check out the wikipedia article on when Universal sued nintendo in the 80s for copyright infringement on their movie King Kong. They lost. Silly Universal. I point you to a wikipedia article, because you'd have to pay to access a legal database.
Duck Hunt was a 1984 Nintendo game. I can remember playing it at a friend's house. I wish the graphics of the game had looked like this shirt.

cho not doing animals would be like monet doing portraits, or picasso doing landscapes. He most likely could do something else but animals are his thing.
Probably the most tasteful Zelda shirt I've ever seen. No weird text that tries to make it sound "cool", but there's a lot there, and the color choice is brilliant, since it softens it all. Looks better every time I look at it.

No it's not Africa and the design is on the front of the shirt. I did not mean for this design to have any racist connotations whatsoever.
Well the Heroes logo is an eclipse. Technically, I think the maker of the universe had the idea for this logo before NBC

The silhouete is a picture of myself, I happen to be mildly bowlegged and those are my real legs and feet.

Its good to see a firearms related show in the mainstream. Though the details lack for some of us that thirst after the mechanics of the guns, the thing I enjoy the most is your relationship with your daughter. There is nothing better than sharing a love of firearms with a family member. I must say, it cracks me up when people come in to your store and she knows more about the firearm than they realize and they look stupid.
Keep up the good work. I will continue watching with my family. I pray that Discovery doesnt turn your show into another Orange County Choppers with all the drama. Keep it real good Sir.

Neuroscience is the interdisciplinary science focused on understanding the brain and the nervous system. Neuroscientists apply their expertise in behavioral psychology, biochemistry, cognitive psychology, computer science, developmental biology, genetics, molecular biology, pharmacology, and/or physiology to answer questions about the brain, behavior, thought, memory, emotion, or neuropsychiatric disease.
The required courses for the major introduce students to the fundamentals of Biology and Psychology, followed by exploration of special topics in advanced courses chosen to best serve student interest.
In "Anatomy and Physiology: Nervous and Endocrine Systems," students perform a dissection of a human cadaver, including an examination of the human brain and spinal cord. Seeing, holding, and dissecting a real human brain is an amazing experience that few undergraduates can get.
Recent examples of student research projects: "Moody Music Makes the Movie" tested the effect that different types of music played during a neutral video scene had on muscle and skin responses; "Mindfulness Meditation: A Path to Achieving True Grit" tested whether meditation increased persistence and perseverance.
Students participate in a wide variety of off-campus experiences — from semester-long programs in England, Brazil, New Zealand and Tanzania to research opportunities in Germany and at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Mass.
Neuroscience majors could pursue studies in medicine, other health professions, veterinary medicine or graduate study in cellular, molecular, behavioral or systems neuroscience.
Graduates from the last ten years have gained admission to graduate programs at such institutions as Georgetown University, Indiana University, Purdue University and Southern College of Optometry.
Our alumni pursue a wide variety of careers including medicine, physical therapy, occupational therapy and scientific research.
Meredith believes a liberal arts education at Earlham provides the freedom to choose one's own academic adventures and doesn't pigeonhole one into a Pre-Med track.

Capsule Visits The Naked & Famous Denim Factory
Posted by Admin under Uncategorized | Permalink | | Leave A Comment
Here's a cool look behind the scenes at the Naked & Famous denim factory in Canada, via Capsule:
The Naked and Famous team have been part of the Capsule Show family for as long as we can remember. A family-run business itself, Naked & Famous denim is all made in Canada in a factory that's been in the family for decades. "My family has been manufacturing workwear for over 60 years in Canada, and this factory is a testament to our commitment to keeping domestic production alive and thriving," explains owner Brandon Svarc. "We have many old sturdy machines from the 1950s and 60s, all made from metal with no plastic parts. We even have a rare Union Special 43200G bulldog chain-stitching machine which is Made in USA but we had to track it down from a machine seller in the countryside in Japan!"

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|cobalt327, no I don't.
I would choose 64-65 Falcon. You may also look for project cars for sale here, when I was searching for I car I came across this website and there is a big choice here
That Crown Vic should get better mileage than the Tempest/LeMans would. The CV should get around 23 mpg highway/16 city, and average around 19 mpg (according to Fuel Economy).
I was going by the price guide when stating there wasn't a LeMans four door. I just looked at a few other sources and yes, there should be a LeMans four door model for 65. It's the top trim for the Tempest body (Pontiac GM A-body). That might add another $300-500 to the pricing, but no where near the LeMans two door models.
According to Old Ride there was a Lemans 4dr Sedan:
1965 PONTIAC TEMPEST Information Specifications Resources Pictures
I guess I'll know soon enough when I see the VIN.
Thanks for the link to that market pricing website, very useful!
As for the horrible mileage, I'm already used to that with my Crown Vic. I appreciate the continued input as I search and search. Looking at old cars is completely foreign to me so this is helping me be more patient.
A lot of car of that era rust around the lip that holds the rear window in. I don't think it's a deal breaker, but it might be a way to negotiate the price down a bit.
Go to Collector Car Market Review Pricing and check out the suggested value. Value is really what you can get it for and how bad you want it, collector car values aren't like newer car blue book pricing. Pricing in guides is partially based on auction and other reportable sales results, but there is some estimating as well.
From what I can see and the description that is somewhere between a #2 and #3 car (IMHO). It's also a Tempest -- there were no LeMans four doors, at least not in 65. That would put it in the $4000-$5000 range, not $6000. Top value for a #2 (remember, most show cars you see are #2 -- a #1 car is a top pro resto trailered to shows, or a museum quality resto) is $5500-$5600.
Would $6K be too much to pay for it? Not if you really like/want it. Print the value and condition guide pages out and take them with you when you look at it though. $5K would be a more fair price, but it really depends on how much you like it and what your other options are. On the plus side it looks ready to roll. If you plan on using it as a daily driver that 326 is going to get old fast, but it will put a smile on your face -- until you hit the gas pumps. You're probably looking at 18 mpg on a good day of interstate travel, keeping it no more than 65 mph (MAYBE 70... but no more!), an average of 15-16 mpg. If more fun is better than more mileage that won't matter...
I'd pay $6K for that one before I'd go for a cheap car that needs a lot of work.
OK, now I've got two Pontiacs on my radar. Aside from that black one in Stockton, this one just popped up and is much closer to me:
1965 Pontiac Lemans
Both are about $6000. This one is a two owner, recently restored. I'm going to go look at it this Saturday. He said the rear window seal is leaking moisture (not streams of water) and as a result the rear parcel tray has some rust. Is this a red flag? I usually wouldn't consider this a deal breaker.
|I vote for the Chrysler A-body. The same basic car was built from '67-'76, and the upgrades of the later years like the brakes fit on the early years. The V8-equipped cars can support EFI 318/5.2 and 360/5.9 engines through 2003 in the vans and Dakota, and parts are plentiful.
|My Aunt had a Tempest Sprint with the 4bbl OHC 6er. Several people in my family have said that car with a wide ratio manual trans (deep 1st gear) would run with just about any street car from stoplight to stoplight. Here in the Northeast; the OHC 6 was banned from competing against the Chevy 6's and flathead 8's in the dirt short track days. Mickey Thompson loved that motor as well. Incidentally Ive seen a few show up at cruise-nights. If the engine is detailed nicely, it usually draws a crowd, compared to a similar GTO or Firebird with a stock looking V8.
For a nice cruiser/driver as you you stated you wanted, I'd leave the six in there. There are a few parts for it, but might be hard to find. The block is essentially a Chevy 230 six block (66-67, 260 for 68-69), but there were some changes to the casting in the front. IIRC it only uses the crank and rods from a Chevy six (and associated parts like bearings). I'm not sure about the pistons, probably specific to the OHC configuration. Find a 4V intake if you want to pep it up a little. Standard was rated 165 hp, the "Sprint" 4V version was rated 207 hp. There is a forum specifically for these engines (Pontiac Overhead Cam SIX Forum Forums)!! Yeah, I'd say it's a darn nice car, and would be a shame to do a lot of mods that can't be returned back to stock if desired later. The four door hardtop is a cool style. You could shave the outside door handles on the rear doors to really trick people! Okay, shaving the door handles is a bit more than "easily returned to stock" since welding is involved, but door handle holes can be drilled back easy enough... You just wouldn't be able to get in the back seats from outside, use electric door poppers on the inside.
I wouldn't go with a roll bar. Those cars have a full frame. This site has a good photo of the frame with a tubular brace in the center (scroll down): Frame strengthening needed? - Chevelle Tech
Most sites say do nothing to the frame unless you're running over 500 hp. Same frame was used whether the car got a Pontiac 400 (389 in 67?) or OHC six. No extra bracing is needed.
|You're going to have to spend $400-500 on the rear bumper. If you're swapping out engines, there should be some sort of market for the low image OCH six. The interior looks good. Check the lower rear section of the quarter panel back behind the wheels. You may find rust or evidence of repair. Be sure and look at the floor pans in the trunk. A three speed set up would attract me if I was thinking four speed.
You might want to do your homework/research. Look all over the internet and get some sort of average asking price. I have a 1966 Lemans 2DR with a 1967 GTO 400 in it. Lots of parts out there. Most can be found at Original Parts Group.
That sure looks to be a nice 4DR HDT!
Good luck!
OK guys, I've got a live one! Need some opinions if you got 'em.
Dude is asking $6500, but he's willing to negotiate. I'm aiming for $4000. It's all original, rust free, originally an Ohio car. He restores/flips cars for a living and says that he hasn't had to do anything to this car and that it runs/drives perfectly.
I know that the 4 door hardtops aren't ideal but I figure a roll cage would solve any rigidity issues.
Or, is this car too nice/original to be modified by yours truly?
|I think I'm leaning towards an El Camino. It has a lot of the styling and structural goodness of the Chevelle, and looks like it has a fairly practical bed size. Plus, there's a LOT of them on craigslist!
If you're looking for gas mileage and a truck, there's not much in the 60s -- 60-65 Falcon Ranchero is about it. The 60-63 has that funky early 60s look and is roomy enough. 66-67 is a good size too. The 68-71 is a bit bigger, Torino based, but still not too big, like the 72-79. 64-77 El Caminos are Chevelle based, the 78-87 Malibu based. All are a good size to work with and easy to hot-rod.
All the US trucks were big full sized jobs. You could lightly hop up a six in one ad might get as high as 20-22 mpg on the highway, keep it under 65 mph though. Anything over and aerodynamic drag jumps way up and kills mileage. I was getting 21-22 mpg under 65 with a Jeep J-10 with a six and 4 speed, but when I took a trip in a hurry and cruised at 74 mileage dropped to 10-11 mpg!! The hopped-up six would do it without struggle or complaint though.
Speaking of Jeep... the 47-65 Willys/Kaiser Jeep pickup is small and economical. About the size of the early Courier/Toyota pickups, but definitely 50s styling. They used a small four or six. I've seen them with small blocks, but it's a tight fit. A modern big four or mid size V-6 would motivate it well. 2.5L Jeep Cherokee/Dodge Dakota EFI four or the 2.5L Ranger EFI four would be great in one of those -- good power and decent gas mileage.
If you want Ford/Chevy you'll have to go late 40s/early 50s to get a small to medium sized truck. My brother's 52 Ford F-1 is a good medium size, as are other 48-56 Fords. 47-55 Chevys are a bit bigger looking, may not be much bigger or heavier.
Another great overlooked 60s truck is the 60-64 Studebaker Lark based "Champ" pickup. Basically it's a 60-64 Lark body (the Stude compact car... which would be a great hot-rod itself!) that's been cut off a bit behind the front doors and used as the cab for a pickup. Older Studebaker trucks are interesting too -- similar in size to the 40s and 50s Fords.
You could always hot-rod an early 70s Courier, Toyota, or Datsun truck. One of those with a mild small block or even a V-6 (especially a 4.3L Chevy or 4.0L Ford) would be a fun ride and do some hauling too. Look to the high teens/mid twenties for gas mileage.

Discussion in 'Football, Baseball, and Hockey' started by Darth Tater, Apr 14, 2011.
Old is gold.
I agree with Roscoe!
We need a Vladislav Tretiak kind of effort from the goaltender tonight. These guys will outshoot us and probably outhustle us to finish this in five. Our goalie must not let them score............They do NOT want this back in Detroit...
Wings up 4-3 with 4 minutes left in the game... Sharks on the Power Play...
He said "old". He did NOT say "ancient". By the way, nice goatee, Woody.
Ok can you say 3-2, with momentaum on the Wings side?? 39 saves by Howard and once again we needed 4 goals to win this one..
After the 1st period, our Wings just worked harder than SJ did yesterday. ...Simple as that. Some great video for Babcock to show his guys in the film room to prep for game 6.
Wasn't it last year we gave up the last game 6-0 ? If we can avoid that. ---------------- SKAKING MADLY BACKWARDS !!!
Stevie Y's Nings are cruising. "skating"
We need a prediction here... 4-1 victory for.....
I'm backin' linwood!
yep 4 goals is the key to Wing victory...just have to make sure that the Sharks don't score 5...
Madano needs to man-up, is he gets a shift.
If he's dressed, he's playing. Actually, he is on the first line with Datsyuk and Holmstrom.
That second period wore me out...I need to take a shower before they start the third period. How many near misses that Red Wings have??? 32 shots on goal!!!! If this one goes into OT, I see a Shark win..
Elimination games are always nerve-wracking. Joe Louis is rocking after two straight Wings goals. Go clock!!
Wings win 4-1...
In our hearts it should have been 14-1 based on how many near misses the Wings had, but 3-1 was the final score as they scored an empty netter with a little over a minute left. Jimmy Howard 5-1 in elimation games... .....now I can take a shower
History states that 3 teams have come back completely from 3-0 deficits in hockey. However 4 teams have come back to tie at 3-3 after being down 3-0, only to lose game 7... I like those odds...with this team...
Separate names with a comma.

The # 1 issue that the Bulls will have ALL season is, they are a jump shooting team. Even though I didn't check, I can guarantee you there weren't many points scored in the paint. They will die by that jump shot. Ben tried to scored a few times in th paint but missed horribly. I hope we don't dedicate papges and pages of pistonsforum space on covering the Bulls and Ben Wallace. It's a waste of valuable space that can be used for Pistons talk.

Free personalized radio that
plays the music you love
After Lostprophets' demo was featured in Kerrang! magazine, U.K. independent label Visible Noise offered them an album deal in 2000. That year's The Fake Sound of Progress was recorded over the course of a week for roughly $4,000. Hitting the road to promote the album, the band played support slots with Linea 77, Taproot, Pitchshifter, Linkin Park, and the Deftones, and a huge show at the 2001 Reading Festival helped the fan base grow. Keyboardist Jamie Oliver joined the band to expand its sound, and Sony signed the band in the U.S., releasing a different version of The Fake Sound of Progress in 2001, one that had been remixed and "retooled" by famed producer Michael Barbiero. A North American tour followed.
The album's successor, 2004's Start Something, proved that all the gigging had paid off. It debuted at number five on the U.K. charts and reached number 33 on the Billboard Top 200 despite having been leaked early on the Internet. More touring followed, including a sold-out show at the giant Cardiff International Arena and a main-stage performance at the 2004 Reading Festival. In 2005 the bandmembers were considering different producers for their third effort before deciding on Bob Rock, the man responsible for Metallica's self-titled "Black Album." Drummer Chiplin departed so Rock and the band recruited drummer Josh Freese -- who had worked with A Perfect Circle, Rob Zombie, and many others -- for recording sessions. The completed album, Liberation Transmission, was released at the beginning of summer 2006. The Betrayed arrived in 2010, followed by the group's fifth studio album, Weapons, in 2012. ~ David Jeffries

AMES, Iowa – Across the state of Iowa, plans are under way to select 18 rural libraries to host the Smart investing @ your library program. The program is made possible by a grant to Iowa Library Services from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Investor Education Foundation through Smart investing @ your library, a partnership with the American Library Association. Now in its fifth year, this is the third grant that Iowa libraries have received.
Iowa Library Services is one of 16 recipients of the Smart investing @ your library grants in the latest round of grant making.
This grant program funds public library efforts to provide library patrons with access to effective, non-commercial investor educational resources. The Iowa project is a collaboration between Iowa Library Services and Iowa State University Extension and Outreach.
"This is a win-win situation for the parties involved," said Iowa State University Professor and Extension Specialist Cynthia Needles Fletcher. "It is a great opportunity for ISU Extension and Outreach to work with local libraries to educate Iowans about wise saving and investing."
The libraries that receive the grants use a variety of technologies and outreach strategies to bring quality financial and investor education opportunities to library patrons at no cost to them. Librarians will receive training on the use of investment information resources. Participating libraries will expand their collection of financial and investment materials.
"Through this program, rural Iowans will learn how to make good decisions about money and we will support these libraries as they position themselves as centers for unbiased financial resources and education within their communities," said Iowa Library Services Consultant Alysia Peich.
Three events will be held at each participating Iowa library. A financial-themed movie night will combine the showing of a movie with discussion. The libraries will then host six-week courses that combine face-to-face and online learning taught by ISU Extension and Outreach family finance program specialists. The courses will be followed by a local program on a finance topic.
"Our goal is to expand the offerings of financial education with this third grant," said Fletcher. "We're hoping to reach more Iowans."

Mukesh Kapila is a medical doctor, humanitarian expert, and international aid diplomat. A veteran of humanitarian crisis and ethnic cleansing in Iraq, Rwanda, Bosnia, Afghanistan and Sierra Leone, Dr. Kapila arrived in Khartoum in March 2003 having made a promise to himself that if he were ever in a position to stop mass-killers, they would never again triumph on his watch. In his book, Against a Tide of Evil, Kapila describes the shocking depths of evil plumbed by those who designed and orchestrated 'the final solution in Darfur' and why so many good men stood by and did nothing. Come see Dr. Kapila speak on 'never again' and his work as the former head of the United Nations in Sudan.

By Joe Brewin
Arsène Wenger says he had little doubt that Sebastian Larsson would carve out a strong career for himself in the Premier League.
Larsson travels to Emirates Stadium on Sunday to line up for Sunderland against his old club. The 26-year-old has enjoyed a solid start to his time on Wearside and has established himself as a regular in Steve Bruce's side.
The Swedish international left Arsenal in 2006 to join Birmingham on loan and then made the move permanent before heading north in the summer.
"He has done extremely well," Wenger said. "He has been educated here and we are always very happy when we can contribute to the career of a player.
"When he was a young boy there were many big players in front of him. He went first to Birmingham to the Championship level and then slowly moved up.
"I was always confident he could make it because he had a fantastic attitude, a great engine and good technique. I am not surprised he is doing well."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Reviews of this property
Grazie a Laura,Luigi Fiorenza e ai componenti della famiglia.Cordiali,semplici e genuini.Alloggio gradevole in mezzo alla natura,di campi,vigneti e animali domestici. Tappa ritemprante fuori dagli schemi e per questo di valore.
Silvio Guia e Ottaviano, giugno 2015
Ein schöner, angenehmer und ruhiger Aufenthalt in Mitten der Weinberge, direkt neben einem Bauernhof mit vielen Tieren. Wir waren dort mit unserem Sohn und und unserem Hund. Es hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Wir danken Laura, ihrer Familie und allen Nachbarn für die herzliche Gastfreundschaft!
A well-kept apartment in a vineyard. In terms of roads (Venice 75 minutes, 90 minutes Millaan, Lake Garda 10 minutes) Central, therefore we have chosen. Very friendly people, quiet atmosphere, many animals on the farm. Only downside was perhaps the crowing of the rooster at 5:30 but you could with an acceptable heat in the house canopies close to the sound largely stopped. All in all still a must seen the low rental costs with a good price-quality ratio.
Een goed verzorgd appartement op een wijngaard gelegen. Qua uitvalswegen (Venetië 75 minuten, Millaan 90 minuten, Gardameer 10 minuten) centraal, daarom hebben wij ervoor gekozen. Zeer vriendelijke mensen, rustige sfeer, veel dieren op de boerderij.
Enige nadeel was wellicht het gekraai van de haan om 5:30 maar je kon met een acceptabele warmte in huis de luifels dichtdoen die het geluid grotendeels tegenhielden.
Al met al toch een aanrader ook gezien de lage huurkosten met een goede prijs-kwaliteit verhouding.
Reviews for this host's other properties
very calm farm house.
It is best if you like villages ...
away from the world of internet ...
but not far from Garda see and sirmione...
conduct of Laura was good even though she was busy..
Sehr schön, familiär geführt. Wir kommen gerne wieder, danke an Laura und Familie!
We had a very nice stay in Laura's spacious, comfortable and clean apartment situated on a former farm (agriturismo). The welcome was friendly and warm, and we could enjoy some nice days in a beautiful rural surrounding with the Garda lake nearby. We can really recommend a stay at Laura's apartment.
Il posto è molto bello e comodissimo per raggiungere numerosi siti turistici. assolutamente consigliato!
Die Wohnung war sauber, Bettwäsche und Handtücher vorhanden und die Leute auf dem waren Hof sehr nett. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Nicht so toll war, dass die Zimmer für Eltern und Kinder nicht unterteilt waren. Es war ein großer Raum als Schlafzimmer, Esszimmer und Küche.
Laure is a very nice person and host and he and her friend gave us hints where to go.. I recommend you to ask her where to go, because those places were really amazing!
The house was very nice, too. It was in a quiet area and the neighbors were nice. You also have a ping pong table and football table. The only thing that I did not like about it, is, that it is 10 minutes from the lake, but Laura already explained that in her description and if you have a car, it is no problem and the way is pretty easy.
All in all me in my friends were very content and herewith I thank you again Laura, hope to see you again some day!

|General Forced Induction The place to chat about turbochargers, superchargers nitrous systems and custom engine fabrications.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
I paid full price for my SCT, couldnt find one used, and didnt want to bother with shipping it out for restoration.
I had my timing belt done.. I was so tired of all the work i was doing.. i just took it to a shop. Out of sight, out of mind.
Ive cut alot of cost with the BST section as well, but Im also buying new on alot of parts simply because I dont want to take the chance on a used part going wrong. This is my daily, so i need it to be reliable.
I really would like to do the LSD at some point. I figure sometime next year i might have my trans cleaned up and rebuilt. A local trans shop said they might be able to change the gearing on 6th since they did it on a Cooper S. It would be cool to do that and a LSD at the same time.
|Dang thats a lot of power @ the wheels good luck!
|It's not cheap but it's money spent that you get to enjoy! I know that lsd is "optional" but if you try pushing that much power without it I am sure you will regret not installing it the first time you try to launch or gun it out of a turn. Good luck with your build bro!
yeah, i'll be over 5k for sure. I don't have a clutch or lsd yet so that will add another 2k?
that's way too much for a timing belt instal! i paid 170? for timing belt, tensioners, pullies, water pump, serp crap. did you have someone do it for you??
I paid 100 bucks for SCT!
I seriously lucked out and got a ton of my parts in the BST section. if you keep an eye out, you can cut a ton of the cost.
When i last talked to Tom, he said i could run 15 PSI on his kit and be at 260-270 WHP and be just fine.. any more he recommends the BAP and some internal work.
edit- i paid the same for my J&S that i'm not going to use! plan your builds out!
From what I understand, Tom's kit is good for over 250whp on a stock SVT block. And he mentioned building past 300 with a larger turbo.
Either way.. If I put together all my bills to my current point
Used turbo kit with most everything - $2000
Stg 3 Clutch/flywheel - $950
Timing Belt + Install - $350
Tool rentals to install clutch - $150
SCT Tuner +Toms Tune - $900 ($350+550)
Misc other accessories - $500+
If i have done my math right, ive spent nearly $5000 thus far, and I am going for a mild build.
This is not including the $350 i spent on a J&S that I decided not to use.
1800 is a decent start, but be prepared to AT LEAST double that.
I think I'm at 3700.00 so far, and I still need a clutch and LSD(optional)
oh and oil lines & fittings, drivers side motor mount, and i'm sure something else will come up. Mind you, i've found GREAT deals on most of my parts.. if you're paying retail for all of this, the price is going to jump and jump quickly.
check out my thread, it will help you get started on what you need and what is suggested. http://www.focusfanatics.com/forum/showthread.php?t=266902
ohhh yeah, you can't forget about tuning! that's another 550 if you are working with Tom, and probably more from other places.
as for power, Toms kit at 10 PSI on a stock motor will put you at about 200-220 WHP
I think he said you would need to run 17-19 PSI for 300whp+?? i'm sure he can clear that up. (I have his kit BTW.)
I suggest you really read up in this forum, there is a TON of info you will need to know before you get started.
My advice to you is to plan out your build before you buy anything.. make sure you are set on what you want to do. I thought i knew what i wanted to do and ended up spending 500+ bucks on crap i'm not even going to use.
Take your time and have fun!
|Oem reoplacements cept for the mounts? And the svt block has higher compression and stronger rods n pistons than a zetec. He could get 300 most likelh on a stock block. But get a clutch
|SVTFocus noob
|When u say u new timing belt and water pump are we talking aftermarket or OEM? Just got done doing OEM. And Steeda mounts are on list as well Better suspension and what kind of head work? Thank you!
Good luck with the build! Theres alot to do and even more to learn! Coming from a guy who just finished his install on Toms Kit.
For 350whp... you need:
2.LSD (optional, but HIGHLY reccomended)
3.New Pistons
5.Stronger Engine Mounts
You should also consider new suspension, timing belt, water pump, and other such things. All said and done, expect to spend over $7,000 on a build like this.

SVT Turbo Build
Hey guys so as of this past Saturday my license is suspended for next 6 months :( why I say this? Because I have decided to make this next 6 months my time to build my SVT and make it one nasty mean FWD car! It is a daily driver for summer this thing does not see snow!! So I have $1.800 now and For next 6 months I will be working so this number will increase!! I planned on going with Focus-Power's DIY turbo Kit. Tom says it can put 350ish to wheels with right engine build! What parts tho? Never turbo'd a N/A car b4 so def going to need some help! Any help would be appreciated! obviously going to need stronger clutch so prob gonna go with a Stg IV clutch master kit with the lightweight aluminum flywheel. What else am I going to need for the DIY turbo kit to not blow my engine and see mid to high 13's? I have 6 months so no rush here! Want to this the right way, no shortcuts!

Halli & Eric
August 31
Dallas, Pennsylvania
Q & A with the Bride:
1. What was the one thing about your venue that made you know it was the one?
I knew I wanted something rustic and after looking at pictures of weddings held at Friedman farms, I knew this had to be our location. The grounds itself were gorgeous, but the barn gave me a blank slate and allowed me to create my vision.
2. Which three details from your wedding were your favorites?
1. My brooch bouquet made by my mother-in-law. I saw a picture of one in a wedding blog and thought it was such a unique idea. My mother-in-law offered to make me one and she started going to estate sales to collect a variety of brooches. I love how I'm able to keep the bouquet forever!
2. Our wedding chuppah made of birch. I wanted to incorporate both religions in the wedding ceremony, and I thought a chuppah was the perfect way! Eric and his father created it from scratch, and on the wedding day, his mother and aunt picked flowers to decorate the poles.
3. Our cupcake display on a variety of glass cake plates, a birch wood stand and my favorite, a glass teacart from my mother-in-law!
3. Give us the one moment in your wedding day you can't stop thinking about.
Eric and I decided to do a first look on the grounds. It was such an intimate and special moment for the two of us.

Really random request.
Does anyone have a giant Canada goose and a cackler available? But here is where it gets weird. I just want a single foot from each one cut at the joint. Weird? Right?
I am not getting back to Manitoba this year on the usual pilgrimage and have a project I want to do now. I shot a banded Canada a few years ago and just cut it off. Same thing on a banded cackler last year.
I'm not a "landyard" kind of guy as I typically diver hunt and have no need for one. I also didn't really want to mount the birds. But I do want to display the bands on my trophy case. Found a guy who bronzes legs and I thought how nice it would look to bronze the legs and place the bands on them for display.
So if anyone has a couple of geese in the freezer that they aren't going to do anything with and they don't mind them losing a leg, I'd appreciate the help. Wish I would have gotten this idea last year. We limited on big honks and cacklers most every day and could have had more legs than I could stand.

I've had the Ciener and the Advantage Arms conversions. They like faster ammo--say over 1200 FPS. Mine liked Remington Golden bullets, and they function quite well. When you do something silly, like shoot Federal Thunderbolts? Not so much. You have the world's finest box fed single shot at that point.
You'll like 'em.

Jewish Pirate Necklace
By Dan's
Jews can be pirates -- skulls are hot -- so why not? This is a pewter Star of David with little skulls on the tips of the stars. They make this for guys but I think it would look great on a girl too. The leather cord is adjustable from 16" continuously to 33" so you can wear the pendant long or short. The pendant is pewter and measures 1.5" in diameter.
These have been one of our best-selling necklaces for 3 years. Cartman doesn't know what he's talking about.


text: Are there any alternatives to this paint (aside from the POG)? I can't find it at any of my local lowes/HD/walmart. Will probably have to end up ordering it if I can't find it. If someone has the product information that I could give lowes that would help. It's a satin color, correct? I appreciate any responses. Thanks!

Each year, thousands of unsuspecting Americans fall at home leaving many of them seriously injured and even disabled. In 2010, more than 12,800 people over age 65 died and 1.6 million were treated in emergency departments because of falls.
Falls can occur unexpectedly, even to the most sure-of-foot person. Most falls take place at home, making proactive fall prevention around the house so important. Here are some safety tips to help prevent slips, trips, and falls:
In addition to fall prevention at home, being aware of weather and terrain conditions when you venture outdoors is also important. Easy Comforts offers easy-to-handle products that can reduce hazards and aid in personal stability while away from home.

I hae one other comment that might be helpful to you or others. I had to add 300 lb of ballast in the bow of my little boat to make her sail on her lines. This fixed a hatch leak (since the the hatched was designed for rainwater to drain forward off the foredeck), greatly improved visibility (since the bow was lower), and reduced weather helm (since the mast was raked less). One unanticipated improvement was that it greatly reduced hobby horsing.
300 lb. may not be much for a boat your size - my boat is known to be a lightweight design. But some additional ballast in both the bow and stern (balanced to keep her on her lines) would increase the moment of inertia of your boat, and might reduce hobby horsing for you. However, you should consult other owners of your boat to compare notes on what's safe and effective for your particular boat.
|This for the advice...The heel angle isn't at all the issue...it was the up and down motion of the bot over and through the waves. Like I said it was a tad bit choppy. I asked her if it was the angle and even adjusted the boat so there was less heel through the traveler, but she insisted it wasn't the heel angle, it was the up and down. She said she wasn't scared and wasn't worried, she just had to hold on too much for her liking. We looked at a few ads for newer/bigger boats and when it was all said and done she didn't see anything that compelled her to want one more than the boat we have. So I will take her out early in light winds...and save the choppy stuff for the fellas.
I have a buddy who really thinks he know how to sail. He rents a daysailer once every year or so when vacationing at Martha's Vineyard. He mostly singlehands because his wife refuses to get on a boat with him.
First time we invited them on our boat, I learned why she refuses to sail with him. (She agreed to come this time because he wasn't the skipper.) He first complained that the we were wimps for reefing, so we shook it out to accommodate him. Later, every time I looked away, he was pulling on the mainsheet to trim the main as tight as he could get it, even though we were on a reach. He got the boat up to about 40 degrees heel (and much less than hull speed) before I ordered him to keep hands off the sheets and let my wife do it.
A year later we went out together because my wife was out of town and I needed crew. He did the same thing again, and didn't want to reef for the conditions, arguing that "we would lose power." I told him that once we hit hull speed, any extra power was wasted on turbulence and dragging the hull form down in the water. I also told him my hull design is made to sail optimally at 15 degrees, and heeling beyond that pushes the belly of the beam down into the water (more drag), as well as having to constantly fight the rudder to prevent rounding up (more drag again). I reefed, loosened the sail trim, got the boat back to 15 degrees, and increased our speed by 1/2 knot with a much more comfortable ride and no weather helm.
In retrospect, it seems this guy is used to sailing planing boats, and knows nothing about the limitations of displacement boats.
I don't know how much the OP knows about his own boat, but it sounds like he might be overpowering his boat, which generates an uncomfortable ride, disgruntled crew, potentially dangerous conditions, and will still not succeed at exceeding hull speed.
A bigger boat is harder to overpower, but it's an expensive way to solve a problem that might be more easily solved through refining your sailing skills.
"I am really trying hard to figure out a way that she can get into it more."
I suppose a ketamine martini would be politically incorrect?
Sounds like you'd best keep sailing with the boys and take the missus out only on windless days with flat water. Unless she really means, the chop is making her seasick, in which case there are often remedies.
Hey Newport, before you do anything hasty, may I suggest something, well...less hasty
Have you thought about joining Sailtime for a year before you decide on another boat? The base at Newport has 33, 36, 38, and 44 foot Hunters, all virtually new. If your wife can't fall in love with sailing after a season on of those, your probably out of luck.
There is one in Newport:
Newport Beach Sailing at SailTime Orange County
If you do change boats, get a nice classic cruiser like this :
1983 Bristol 38.8 Sail Boat For Sale - www.yachtworld.com
You won't believe how much more sea-kindly they are.

Gate City United
Nashua celebrates community spirit at city block parties
By KIMBERLY HOUGHTON
Sunday News Correspondent | September 21. 2013 8:40PM
Grace Roessling, 16, performs with The Label, an area band, during Saturday's block party festivities in Nashua. Kimberly Houghton (KIMBERLY HOUGHTON/Union Leader Correspondent)
People from different walks of life and different parts of the city participated in the first Nashua Block Party, promising to be good neighbors while enjoying free food and entertainment.
As the economy continues to hurt many city residents, LeMere said it is so unusual - and refreshing - to have a free gathering for families to socialize and have some safe and healthy fun.
Ash Street closed
On Ash Street, the road was closed to motorists so that families could participate in the party, which included Mexican food, live entertainment from the band The Label, coloring activities and carnival games for the children.
Welcoming New Hampshire, a group that aims to educate the public about an immigrant community striving to be accepted, also attended the festivities.
"I've only heard legends and stories about Nashua's old block parties, and there seems to be a lot of nostalgia surrounding the gatherings," Malloy said. He is optimistic that the new block parties will become the fabric of local neighborhoods and what people will be talking about for years to come.
In addition to the Ash Street block party downtown, the parties were held at Atherton Park, Kirkpatrick's Park and Nashua High School North.

Larry Brown will coach SMU (prolly for a few months anyway). Larry Brown Hired At SMU: Hall Of Famer Returns To Coaching (nothing about this on Forbes)
Wiggles confirmed this last week on his blog.
Ben Wallace is almost an ex piston now
I'm hoping Big Ben hangs up the uniform, but stays on as Piston defensive coach. No need to be an old man out there that will delay him getting in the HOF...while the old voters still remember how dominant he was from 2002-2007
I'd have really liked to have more to say, but I'll just second this.
Even 6 to 8 years past his prime, Ben Wallace is still the best defender on the current Pistons team. If he retires next year, it is truly the end of an era.
I'm thankful that Ben came back to the 'D' to finish out his career. Piston fans got the chance to give him the proper send-off that he deserves. I was bummed when he left for Chicago (at BOTH sides). This is a much better end to an outstanding career.
It was amazing to watch him relentlessly adjusted his position and foot step when reading opponent's offense. I'm gonna miss the big fella bad.
He has mentioned family several times. It sounds like that is his biggest motivation to retire. If that is the case, he probably doesn't want to be hanging around the Palace all the time for a fraction of the pay. But if he was willing, that would be great to just keep him in the organization so that he can exert his influence.
I don't know how much it helped but as a Pistons fan, I'm glad that Greg Monroe got a chance to go to work with Ben the last two years.
Darko to Boston?
This move is both transparent and desperate. The Celts are bringing DMC to Boston in an attempt to keep Miami from becoming the greatest basketball team of all time.
SI's Chris Mannix tweeted, "Darko Milicic and Kevin Garnett as teammates should be interesting. Hope someone is taping those practices" lol
KG makes teammates cry. This could get ugly. Darko will either follow in big baby's footsteps or he will have to go Serbian Gangster on Kevin. I wouldn't be surprised if Darko becomes such a badass by season end that he smokes a cigarette while playing in an NBA game and nobody is brave enough to stop him.
Every time I click on this "Ex-Pistons" thread, I am hoping to read something about Tayshaun Prince.
I'm hoping to read something about my man Olden Polynice.

As modern neuroscience has grown up alongside molecular biology, it has also been strongly influenced by another blossoming field: computer science. Brains and computers are called on to perform many of the same tasks: doing arithmetic, solving puzzles, planning strategies, analyzing patterns, filing away facts for future reference. At a more theoretical level, biological and electronic machines surely have the same computational power. And yet attempts to explain brains in terms of computers, or vice versa, have not been wildly successful.
The neural circuits sketched by McCulloch and Pitts look much like the diagrams of logic gates (AND, OR, NOT, etc.) that appear in designs of digital computers. The resemblance is misleading. McCulloch and Pitts showed that their networks of neurons can compute the same set of logical propositions as certain abstract automata. However, neurons in the brain are not wired together to form such simple logic circuits.
A typical electronic logic gate computes a function of two or three inputs. For example, a three-input AND gate has an output of true if and only if all three inputs are true. There are eight combinations of three true-or-false signals, yielding 256 possible functions of those inputs. A typical neuron has thousands of synaptic inputs. For 1,000 signals there are 21,000 combinations—an immense quantity, far exceeding the number of cells in the human brain. The number of functions that a 1,000-input neuron might be computing is larger still: 2 raised to the power 21,000. For such a neuron there's no hope of constructing a complete truth table, showing the cell's response to all possible combinations of inputs; the appropriate tool for describing the action of the neuron is not logic but statistics.
The spiky nature of neural signaling is a further complication. Standard electronic logic gates work on persistent signals: Apply a voltage to each of the inputs, wait for the system to settle down, then read the state of the output. Neural signals are brief impulses rather than steady voltages. Thus the output of a neuron depends not just on which input signals are present but also on their precise timing.
Abstract models of the brain, such as artificial neural networks, smooth away many of these complexities. If the function that a neuron computes is just a weighted sum of the inputs, only a tiny fraction of the possible combinations need to be considered. (For a fixed set of input weights, the number of distinguishable combinations falls from 21,000 to 1,001.) Likewise the problem of synchronizing spikes is eased by assuming that the neuron merely measures the average rate of spiking. The extent to which biological neurons adopt these simplifying strategies remains a matter of controversy and conjecture.

Today's Recipe Roundup has recipes for those of you who love to bake. The first two recipes were given to me by Sharon Johnson, who works for Fort Knox National Co. The recipes were used in their employee contests.
Rachel Torres, my yoga instructor at Energy Sports and Fitness, also has provided two recipes. She has contributed recipes to two previous columns.
The Lemon Drop cookie recipe is from Mary Cantwell.
These all could be frozen for a future meal. Happy baking.
But if you want something for a fast dessert, the Kool Aid Pie is a quick fix. Enjoy.
Sudie's Milk Chocolate Cake
2 ¼ cups sugar
3 tablespoons water
2 squares melted unsweetened chocolate
¾ cup butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
½ teaspoon salt
2 ¼ cups cake flour
4 eggs, separated
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
½ teaspoon soda
1 cup milk
Heat ¼ cup sugar, 3 tablespoons water and chocolate until it melts. Remove and set aside to cool. Cream butter and remaining sugar and beat until fluffy. Add egg yolks and beat. Add chocolate, sugar, water mixture. Sift dry ingredients together three times. Add alternately with milk to butter and sugar mixture. In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Add vanilla and fold in stiffly beaten egg whites. Pour into three 8-inch pans that have been prepared with waxed paper liners on bottom of pans and bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes.
1 egg (can use Egg Beaters)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 pound confectioner's sugar
1 stick butter
2 squares bitter chocolate
1 tablespoon vanilla
Beat egg, add juice and sugar gradually. Melt butter and chocolate; add vanilla. Mix well with egg and sugar mixture. Add nuts if desired.

Mrs. Mac's Potato Rolls
1 cup mashed potatoes
1 package of yeast
½ cup potato water (what they were cooked in)
1 cup scalded milk (not too hot, it will kill yeast)
2 eggs, well beaten
2/3 cup melted shortening
6 ½ cups all purpose flour (do not sift)
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup sugar
Pour liquids into dry ingredients and mix well. Put dough into a glass mixing bowl. Grease top with canola oil. Cover with heavy dish towel until it rises, about 2 hours. Pull out and dip each roll into melted margarine. You can fold in half to make Parker House rolls. Put into pans, not touching sides. Bake at 375-400 degrees for 15 minutes. Yield: 40 rolls

Morning Glory Muffins
5 cups almond flour
2 tablespoons cinnamon
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
4 cups grated carrots
2 cups grated apples
2 cups coconut
2 cups raisins
6 eggs
4 tablespoons honey
1 cup oil (canola, coconut or grape seed)
2 teaspoons vanilla
Orange zest (optional)
If you have a food processor, peel just the orange part of the zest and process it with some of the almond flour to get all the oils out and make it very fine. Also use the processor to grate the apples and carrots. Mix eggs, oil, vanilla and honey. Mix wet and dry ingredients, let sit 30 minutes.
Fill muffin cups almost full (they won't rise that much) and bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes.

1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
7 ounces almond paste
2 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 stick melted butter
2 cups Greek yogurt
2 eggs
1 can no-sugar added pears (diced)
1 cup chocolate chips
Process almond paste with sugar in food processor. Mix that with other dry ingredients. Mix melted butter, eggs, yogurt, vanilla and almond extract. Mix wet ingredients into dry ingredients gently; some of the mixture can even be dry. Fold in pears and chocolate chips. Spoon into greased muffin pan or use paper liners. Bake at 375 degrees until golden brown.

I have a few years stand-up exeprience. There is an MMA club near me-how long would it take me to get enough ground skills? I'd like to have just one amatuer fight. Also what are the standard rules for a first time fight? Any different from standard pro MMA?
P.S Im guessing it would take a year at least to have the basics with the ground.
