QES: Micro LHP Chip Cooling System [BPN394]Thermal management of high power density electronics is an essential, enabling technology for next generation electronic systems. Phase change is the preferred choice for heat transport solutions because of the ability to absorb large heat fluxes through latent heat. Current technology uses macro- scale capillary driven systems such as Loop Heat Pipes (LHP) and thermosyphons, which are passive devices that have proved to be efficient and reliable. However, these devices do not allow for chip- level integration and do not scale well for future (and even current cutting-edge high-performance) electronic requirements. The goal of the microColumnated Loop Heat Pipe (µcLHP) project is to develop a "thermal ground plane" (analogous to an electronic ground plane) which is a uniform, isothermal substrate for transporting heat away from high power density electronic devices.

Those of you with multiple guns, how do you decide which gun to carry?
I still havent carried nor shot my HK yet, so I just carry my Walther all the time.
Well...........easy for me. It's a seasonal thing. If it's winter ('bout a month long here) I carry my Colt Defender (big bullet, light weight, etc.), if it's summer (11 months) I carry my Colt Defender. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
In the winter I try to carry my Sig because the shoulder holster is more comfy. And when I open carry it is also the Sig. But in warmer months or when I choose not to wear a jacket, I carry my Bersa.
I tend to only carry 1 gun - My p99c. I hard chromed my fullsize P99 and SW99, so I need not worry about holster wear on them. But, I could only carry them in the winter (if I wanted), And, I am satisified w/ just the P99c.
And, I don't carry my HK USPc and Glock 34 - the glock is too big and is a range and night stand gun, and I don't wanna mess up the finish on my USPc. Plus, with the grip size, if I carried that (the USPc), I may as well just carry my fullsize P99.
Which ever gun you practice with the most.
I'm actually thinking of getting a Kel-Tec P11. My G23 just seems to thick for me to carry.
I carry a S&W .45 on my hip and a Kel-Tec .3at in my pocket. That .380 is a blast to shoot from the hip. I been working with it since I got it.
If I am comfortable with it, I'll carry it. It depends more on how I have to dress and where I am going. I have seven autos that I have carried at one time or another but I try to stick to just two or three.
Depends on where I'm going, what I'll be doing and the weather.
My $.02
Carry one gun!!! Know it intimately. You should be able to bring it into action without concious thought.
I carried 4" 1911s for 10 years, this past spring i decided to switch to a HK USPc .45. I trained with for several months before I commited it to a carry gun. Really didn't take much, the manual of arms is very similar to a 1911.
It always make me smile when folks worry about holster wear on a carry gun. I have my 'pretty' guns that I want to keep nice. But a full time carry piece is a TOOL. It should be treated like one, well maintained, and used regulary!!! It will show some wear. It should be presented from the holster 1,000s upon 1,000s of times throughout its life (during training) forget about what the finish looks like.
Agree with you 100% there JD. I just changed over to carrying a .45 auto here in the last six months. It's a sharp pistol now, but in another year or less it will be showing wear I am sure. I am not worried about it as it is a service gun that I will use a 1000 times over practing with. If I ever have to lay it on the line I want it to feel natural as can be to point and shoot.
You could just do like the kid in this video (from a previous thread on this forum):
reliable,comfortable,praticed. these are my way to decide, I carry a Colt Double Eagle 5" or a Colt 1911a1 5" year round.
Most of the time. I carry my Glock 26, since it fits well in my front pocket, along with my Nemesis holster. It gets hot here in Vegas in the summer, and cover garments don't make it. Also, it allows me to wear my normal work clothes. When I can, I carry my XD 45 in an IWB holster, and a 5.11 vest. This is usually on the week end.

The measure of any great Catholic university is the quality of vocations being produced at the institution. Here at the University of St. Thomas, we have had a number of strong vocations, to both married and religious life, cultivated on campus. The Basilian Fathers, founders of the University, are continuing a 200-year legacy of providing a strong Catholic education and leading individuals to Christ.
This, however, would not be possible without the young men and women who are willing to dedicate their lives to the service of others and to the three pillars of the Basilian way of life: goodness, discipline, and knowledge.
"Every faithful Catholic, man or woman, should strongly consider, at least once in their life, a religious vocation. Whether it is to the priesthood or the convent," said the Rev. Michael Buentello, CSB. "We are in need of individuals who respond to that calling. That is why I pray for vocations to come out of UST at every Mass."
According to a recent United States Conference of Catholic Bishops statistic, the number of priests, both diocesan and orders, has dropped slightly, from 40,271 in 2011 to 40,203 in 2012. The number of seminarians has also decreased, with most of the decline occurring among religious orders, falling from 5,247 in 2011 to 5,015 in 2012.
While vocations to the Basilian order are not as robust as they once were, the University is blessed to have three Basilian Novices enrolled in classes on campus. These young men come from different walks of life: Hoc Minh Nguyen was a data analyst; Kittisak Chooklin was a math teacher, and Steven Huber was a choir teacher.
The novices are in their second year of discernment, a seven-year process where they learn about the order and their calling. Discernment begins with a year as an Associate, at which time they live in community with the Basilians to better understand the order. The following year, they enter the Novitiate, where they focus on meditation and prayers. If they still feel called, they apply to Scholastic, a four-year period where the candidate studies philosophy, theology and learns how to properly administer the sacraments. Next, they are ordained as deacons and participate in a year of pastoral work as a deacon before taking their final vows at priestly ordination.
The novices are currently studying in the Center for Faith and Culture under the tutelage of the Rev. Donald Nesti, CSSp.
Although their stories are different, they share a common goal: to serve and bring others to Christ.
Hoc Minh Nguyen
Hoc Minh Nguyen, originally from Saigon, Vietnam, began to feel his call to the priesthood at the age of 18. He first heard about the Basilian order while attending the Basilian-run parish of St. Anne Catholic Community on Westheimer Road in Houston. There, he began to learn about the order and found that the charisms of the order- education and evangelization- aligned with his aspirations.
For Nguyen, the discernment of his vocation has meant a journey to know self, to understand his strengths and weaknesses, as well as his desires and his relationship with God.
Kittisak Chooklin
Kittisak Chooklin was born into a Buddhist family in Bangkok, Thailand, and converted to Catholicism when he was 16. His conversion came while studying the Christianity section of World Religions. While reading, Chooklin felt a strong call to become a Christian, and as a result, stayed up until 5 a.m. the following day praying to the "Christian God" he did not yet know.
His prayers led him to Catholicism, and after seeking advice from a Catholic classmate, he began attending Holy Redeemer, a Catholic church nearby the U.S. Embassy.
"After a series of questions, I was informed that I should take Catechism classes, so I would spend my Saturdays meeting with a priest who catechized me," Chooklin said.
While going through catechism, Chooklin was asked to meet with the Redemptorist community and consider becoming a priest. At the time, he told them he was not interested. It wasn't until years later, having moved to Houston and teaching math at a middle school, that he began to discern a calling to the priesthood. After becoming a parishioner at St. Anne's, and learning more about the Basilian order, Chooklin applied to the order.
Steven Huber
Steven Huber, an Albuquerque, N.M., native, began to consider the priesthood as a young boy when parishioners noticed his devotion as an altar boy. While on a retreat in college, he began to experience a call to the religious life, but didn't pursue the call for several years.
"The hardest part was taking the first step to sign up for the Vocation Discernment Retreat," Huber said. "Once I realized that discernment is less about becoming a priest and more about whether or not God is calling you to the next step, the discernment process has become easier."
Huber was first introduced to the Basilian order through his father, who had attended a Basilian high school in Merrillville, Ind. His first formal connection was not developed until he attended New Mexico State University, where the Basilian Fathers ran the Newman Center. The Rev. Chris Valka, one of the Basilian priests, recognized Huber's potential after reading several papers and articles he had written and suggested to Huber that he would make a good priest.
"Fr. Chris encouraged me to visit with the Basilian vocation director, and once I saw the sense of brotherhood and community that the Basilians have, I felt at home," Huber said.
The Basilian Fathers
The Congregation of St. Basil is an active, apostolic community of priests and students for the priesthood seeking the glory of God in the works of education and evangelization. Founded in France in the early 19th century, the order has since spread, first to Canada and then the United States. Now in five countries, the order's schools, colleges and parishes express commitment to Christ the Teacher and the desire to serve in imitation of Him.
For more information on the Basilian Order or to discuss vocations, contact the Rev. Mike Buentello, CSB at 713-525-3589.

Not sure how to progress next
Got hooked on snowboarding this season in January and can't get enough. This forum has been awesome for tips and gear info so figured I'd see what you guys recommend. I'm feeling like I'm having trouble making the next step in my progression. Not sure how to link turns or even start trying.
Have gone up 5 times, and just had my 7th day up on the mountain yesterday. I can't get up on my heel (still) but I'm pretty much an expert at falling leaf toeside. My last time out I worked on toeside to heelside turns so I could start learning how to ride heel, and finally got it after a lot of wipeouts. Yesterday I could do toeside to heelside turns regularly and even at some speed down blues. I started working on heelside to toeside turns, and can do it, but not as well. Just not as comfortable on my heel as I am on my toe.
I'm not sure what I should be working on, and the "aha" moment I had the first time I did a toeside to heelside turn the time out before yesterday just didn't come yesterday. I feel like I'm at a plateau or something. At this point I'm an expert on falling leaf toeside and think with another day will be an expert on falling leaf heelside (lol) and hopefully be able to turn heelside to toeside much better.
The problem with my turning, though, is that by the time I am initiating the turn I'm usually going pretty fast so I overcompensate and turn all the way, slowing myself down into a sideslip. I see these people zoom by me constantly just doing regular linked turns and I just have no idea how to even practice that. I was on a green yesterday that got pretty shallow and slow and I had enough speed to go toe to heel to toe for a bit but I know if there was a steeper slope I'd just basically end up going down in a strait line and frantically trying to stop myself with a sideslip.
I think I'm going to troll youtube for some snowprofessor vids on this but was wondering if this is a common place for beginners to hit a wall and how to break through. Going up again tomorrow after a rest today and am hoping to finally be able to actually snowboard linking turns, but I'm not too confident that I'll be able to.
At this point terrain doesn't really scare me---I've been on blues and greens all over the tahoe resorts and just stay away from blacks. But I am sort of frustrated with my inability to link turns and don't really know how to work on it.
BTW Thanks to all you guys for the info and tips that I've lurked on as I've gotten hooked. I ended up getting a GNU Carbon Credit, Nike Kaiju Boots (sooo comfy), and union SL bindings for my first setup. I love snowboarding and being up on the mountain no matter how many times I fall getting off the lift! 27 right now and hope to do it for another 40+ years! Had some icy days, slushy days, and one awesome powder day at Sierra and another at Kirkwood--but you might be mad at me as one of those guys that "ruins" the powder :).
Think maybe I just need to lower my expectations and not expect to truly snowboard down in my first season.
That happened to me too learning last year... Most of it is just getting yourself to commit to the turn. It feels like you're going down too fast but once you get used to it it's easy. Practice makes it easier. And I know when I went this season I felt way more comfortable than last year and had no issues skating off the lift and felt in control. And after I felt at home progression went wayyyy faster. I can't believe the stuff I'm riding now. I'm having a blast too, well worth all the hard falls in the beginning.
I suggest you invest in some lessons the next time you are out, you should be able to link turns by now. Everyone learns at a different rate but I can't imagine how frustrating it would be to not be able to link turns by this time for you.
Honestly you will get some much more out of your days on the hill with a little help from a good instructor. And why not set your expectations high? I told my gf everyone can link turns by the end of their first day, so when she was carving greens up by the end of the day she thought she was right on pace... until I told her she was way ahead of what most people after 5-10 days on a hill haha.
Seriously though, get a lesson and you will be linking turns in no time.
For most beginners, a major problem is getting the weight forward. Weight on the front foot = fast turn initiation -> less speed picked up.
Even if you think your weight is centered, chances are, you are leaning back.
Congrats on the new addiction! I started at 30 and hope to do it forever.
You'll get some good advice from guys here that have boarded for a really long time, but from a second year rider with 50+ days on the mountain I can share some experiences that helped me along the way.
First, stay out of the blues if you can't even do linked turns consistently. Many here will say speed helps, but only after you've got the fundamentals down. Greens will give you plenty enough speed to practice whatever you need to do. Going down terrain too steep for your ability level can actually hinder your progression. I've seen it too many times with friends I ride with.
Second. Really focus on your front foot. Do whatever you have to get that front foot engaged. I used to actually unstrap my rear binding and go down some really mellow terrain with just my front foot. Learning to engage the sidecut of the board, especially by initiating with the front foot, will work wonders for board control.
Third. Work on your balance. A lot of problems with beginner turning could be balance issues. This means keep your weight centered on the board. Oftentimes because a beginner isn't comfortable on the board, instructors will tell them to keep their weight forward. The beginner will actually think they are forward on the board, but in reality, they are more centered. Riding in the backseat will cause a lot of the problems you mentioned.
Finally, have fun! You'll have plenty of years left to learn. You have a three year head start on me. :)
And on the 8th day riding of the season, turns were linked!
They are not pretty but I was able to link turns today after considering the advice here and just telling myself I was going to figure it out by the end of the day.
The tip to not put weight on my back after turning really helped. I still catch myself doing this and it just leads to skidding out of a turn and side slipping. When I really focus on leaning forward, I can actually turn both toeside to heelside and heelside to toeside and come out of it riding down vs sideslipping.
I tried to "carve" on some shallower parts of blue and green runs and think I was able to sort of do it (assuming carving means going from one edge to another without fully turning). On steeper parts of blues, I have to basically traverse the whole run diagonally and then turn the other way---my linked turns are super ugly but I can see how to progress from here. Basically I think comfort with speed will be key, which can only happen with more practice.
I'm trying to make sure I don't develop bad habits, like the leaning thing. I'm basically initiating turns by switching my weight and then using the front foot to start the turn, and let the back foot follow but after a slight delay. I really like the feeling of my board sort of twisting as it's about to turn and think this is what it's supposed to do---please correct me if I'm wrong. Some random dude told me his "one tip" for snowboarding was steering with the back foot, which I thought was the wrong method and not what I do but I think he might have just been messing with me... or maybe not aware of proper technique.
Anyway hopefully there are at least a few more storms up in tahoe in the next few weeks so I can work on linking turns in a less extreme and exxagerated way and work on my comfort with speed. One nice thing about today was zero falls off the chair lift and overall much less falls. The snow got wet and mogully but I was still able to keep my shit together on both heel and toe in terms of balance, which was also a huge win.
Thanks again for all the feedback and I'm glad I was able to put it into action.
I don't know if any snowboard instructors here will correct me, but I feel like you should completely eliminate the falling leaf from your riding from now on. The only thing it will do now is make you want to stay on your toe/heel edge instead of switching between them (linked turns). The quicker you break the falling leaf habit, the quicker you'll be able to link turns.
Also I'm not sure if this tip will help you personally or not, but when I went with my friend for the first time he was linking turns a couple hours into his first day. It clicked for him when he thought of it as "heel side ---> straight down the hill for a split second ---> toe side ---> straight down the hill for a split second ---> heel side ---> etc." It caused the transition to make more sense for him instead of going directly from heel side to toe side. Smoothed it out a bit.
While learning your linked turns I'd suggest learning on greens and shallower blues. It's a lot better to get the technique down right than to "be able to make it down harder hills without falling." If you're not able to link turns on a hill because of its steepness/difficulty, avoid that run if possible until you're more comfortable.
I agree --- will try to basically eliminate falling leaf. I usually ride a mix of greens and blues because I really hate limiting myself to the green parts of the mountain and really enjoy seeing the whole thing. I know this might hurt my progression in the short term, although I think hitting harder runs forces me to advance quicker too possibly.
I like how you're thinking about it heelside - strait down - toeside - strait down. This is basically what I know in my mind needs to happen, and it's not hard on shallower slopes, but I am just not confident enough at speed not to freak out during the "strait down" portion on steeps. But each day I'm sure it will become easier.
Thanks Snowolf! Love your advice on this forum. I have taken 3 lessons at the very beginning and they were quite helpful, so don't really want to take any more this season since I just want to keep practicing what I know I should be doing. Next season I'll probably take another lesson to see what bad habits I've picked up and try to help my technique. I've actually watched all your vids that you posted - more than once :). I really like your demonstration style and it's helped me a lot.

Scene Info
Troy Daniels lies on his back surrounded by the pack of horse-hung studs who take turns fucking his mouth and ass. But a cock in each hole isn't enough for Troy; he needs one in each hand too. The pack moves around the cock-hungry bottom, taking turns plowing his greedy hole until they can't take it any more. The pack urges each other on as one at a time they pull out and unload, glazing Troy in gobs of creamy white cum. Covered in sweat and jizz, Troy realizes he has finally exhausted the gangbangers! He pulls out and jacks his own rock-hard cock until he blows.

Fox News undoubtedly had a wonderful story to dwell on for a day when the Reverend Jeremiah Wright blasted "them Jews" in the Barack Obama administration for denying him an opportunity to talk with the president. "Them Jews ain't going to let me talk with him," roared the mouth that can not speak without angering someone. "They will not let him talk to anybody who calls a spade a spade." Yes, Reverend, they definitely will not allow someone to use expressions such as "call a spade a spade" which to many African Americans is rather insulting. Naturally, the good reverend could not make a statement without saying something about Israel whose Gaza offense he termed "ethnic cleansing" and a "crime against humanity."
As an African American it is interesting the Reverend has nothing to say about the death of five million Africans in the Congo or the death of 60,000 in Uganda or the death of over 200,000 in Darfur. President Obama is attempting to resolve a difficult conflict in the Middle East and, believe it or not, Reverend Wright, you are the last person from whom he would seek advice or counsel. It's not "them Jews," who won't let you into the White House, it's "that damn dark skinned guy."

Beck, Hannity, Limbaugh run with dubious rumor that White House is threatening Nelson with Air Force base
In a December 15 post, Weekly Standard blogger Michael Goldfarb reported the claims of an unnamed "Senate aide" who allegedly said that the White House is "threatening to close" Nebraska's Offutt Air Force Base "to extort" Sen. Ben Nelson's vote on health care reform. The rumor has since been denied by both Nelson's office and the White House, but Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, and Rush Limbaugh have nonetheless seized on Goldfarb's blog post and advanced the dubious allegation.
Beck, Hannity, Limbaugh bring poorly sourced and dubious rumor to their radio audiences
Beck reads Goldfarb's post, then hosts Goldfarb to advance rumor. On the December 16 edition of his radio show, Beck read from Goldfarb's post and called it "one of the worst things you've heard yet this year." Despite later saying that "[w]e have called Senator Nelson's office; Senator Nelson says, 'No, no, no. That's not true,' " Beck interviewed Goldfarb, who said, "I have 100 percent confidence in my source on this, and, of course, the Nelson people have every reason to deny it." After Goldfarb later said, "As I understand it, Rahm Emanuel delivered a message to the Senate leadership that if Nelson did not get behind this, Offutt Air Force base would find itself on the next round of BRAC closures," Beck responded, "I don't even know what category that fits in -- high crimes?"
Hannity: "They're threatening to close a base vital to national security." Citing Goldfarb's "Weekly Standard report [1]," Hannity stated on the December 15 edition of his radio show, "They're threatening to close a base vital to national security. Now this is the headquarters, by the way, for the U.S. Strategic Command, the successor to the Strategic Air Command, and StratCom was located in the middle of the country for strategic reasons, meaning its closure would be a massive blow to the economy and the state of Nebraska, but also another example of how the administration is playing politics with national security. That's how bad it's got."
Limbaugh suggested "Dingy Harry and Obama" said "we'll exempt Offutt" in return for vote. From the December 15 edition of The Rush Limbaugh Show:
LIMBAUGH: Harry Reid and Ben Nelson, Senator Nelson, I don't know if you care, but you're finished if you vote for this. Lieberman's not, but Ben Nelson is finished. If he votes for this, he's finished. I'll tell you what's going on with Nelson. It's not just the abortion language in the bill. There are two things that are happening with Ben Nelson. One is there's a doctor-owned hospital, physician-owned hospital being built south of Omaha, and it's not finished. It has been put on hold. It's under delay. Under this current health bill, it may not be finished because doctor-owned hospitals are going to be legislated out of existence. Doctor-owned hospitals are targeted for elimination. So Ben Nelson says, "I want to finish this hospital." Dingy Harry says, "We'll think about it."
Also, Offutt Air Force Base in Omaha is slated to be closed in the next round of blue ribbon base closing commissions. The next seating, the next convening of a base closing commission is 2013. Offutt Air Force Base, which is where the Strategic Air Command is, was, Offutt Air Force Base is responsible for 10,000 jobs and gazillions of dollars in not just the Omaha area but the Nebraska economy and Ben Nelson is holding out, "You gotta help me on these two things." Dingy Harry and Obama, that won't be any problem. OK, we'll exempt Offutt, we'll keep it going, we'll think about your physician-owned hospital. And they'll monkey around enough with the abortion language to get his vote. If they get his vote, it's over.
Both Nelson's office, White House have denied rumor
Nelson spokesman: "The rumor is not true." The Omaha World-Herald reported [2] on December 15 that Nelson spokesman Jake Thompson said, "The rumor is not true," and, "This misinformation is coming from inside-the-Beltway partisans who only want to derail health care reform."
Pfeiffer: "[T]hese rumors are completely baseless and false." From a December 15 blog post [3] by White House Communications director Dan Pfeiffer:
Proving that they will leave no stone unturned in their efforts to undermine health reform, some blogs opposing reform are now trafficking an absurd rumor that Nebraska's Offutt Air Force Base is being threatened over Senator Ben Nelson's vote on the Senate reform bill.
To be perfectly clear: these rumors are completely baseless and false.
Thanks for your time.
Rumor circulated by conservative bloggers citing single anonymous "Senate aide"
Matt Lewis: "Hearing Ben Nelson has been threatened with closing his air force base." Posted [4] on Matt Lewis' Twitter page at 4:50 a.m. on December 15:
Citing single anonymous "Senate aide," Goldfarb reports "White House is now threatening" to close Nebraska Air Force Base "if Nelson doesn't fall into line" on health care. In a December 15 Weekly Standard blog post [1], Goldfarb wrote:
According to a Senate aide, the White House is now threatening to put Nebraska's Offutt Air Force Base on the BRAC list if Nelson doesn't fall into line.
Offutt Air Force Base employs some 10,000 military and federal employees in Southeastern Nebraska. As our source put it, this is a "naked effort by Rahm Emanuel and the White House to extort Nelson's vote." They are "threatening to close a base vital to national security for what?" asked the Senate staffer.
Indeed, Offutt is the headquarters for US Strategic Command, the successor to Strategic Air Command, and not by accident. STRATCOM was located in the middle of the country for strategic reasons. Its closure would be a massive blow to the economy of the state of Nebraska, but it would also be another example of this administration playing politics with our national security.
Noonan, Continetti advance allegation. In a December 15 Weekly Standard blog post [5], John Noonan linked to Goldfarb's post and stated, "In what appears to be a very strange decision, the White House seems to feel that all the money, pain, and headaches that would result from BRAC'ing Offut is fair price in exchange for a single vote on health care reform. Nelson should recognize a bogus threat when he sees one, and dare Emanuel to try." Additionally, in a December 15 Weekly Standard blog post [6], Matthew Continetti wrote that Nelson "has been threatened and cajoled into a Yes vote," linking to Goldfarb's post.
Malkin: Nelson "is reportedly being threatened with closure of an air force base." Michelle Malkin wrote in an "update" to a December 15 blog post [7], "A Hill source says to pay attention to Sen. Ben Nelson. He is reportedly being threatened with closure of an air force base if he doesn't fall in line and will be offered a 'blank check' bribe bigger than Sen. Landrieu's."
Ed Morrissey: Obama administration "willing to damage national security to extort his support." In a December 15 Hot Air blog post [8], Ed Morrissey wrote, "How desperate has the White House become to get anything passed under the name of health-care reform? According to Michael Goldfarb's source on Capitol Hill [1], the Obama administration has targeted the last remaining Democratic holdout, at least among moderates -- and they're willing to damage national security to extort his support. The White House has threatened Ben Nelson (D-NE) with the closure of Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska if he opposes Reid's latest version, despite its status as the headquarters of US Strategic Command."

2012 NCAA Division I Women's Soccer Championship Bracket: Interactive | PDF
Princeton Release | Ivy League NCAA Tournament Notes (pdf)
Story courtesy of Princeton Athletic Communications
PROVO, Utah -- Though Princeton led for more than 33 minutes, 12th-ranked Marquette ended the Tiger women's soccer team's NCAA tournament run Thursday afternoon in Provo, Utah, with a 3-1 second-round win.
Princeton (14-4-1) became the second-fastest team to score on Marquette (18-2-2) this year after North Carolina two months ago, but for the first time in three tries, Marquette rallied to win. Only Princeton, North Carolina and Duke held leads over Marquette this season, Duke most recently on Sept. 9, 15 games ago.
Lauren Lazo had Princeton's goal in the 11th minute, dribbling along the end line and firing it in to put Princeton ahead for the second time in as many NCAA tournament games this season.
Princeton was within 46 seconds of taking a 1-0 lead into the halftime room for the second time this postseason, but Marquette's Mady Vicker tied it with a chip-in after the Tigers couldn't clear.
Marquette's go-ahead goal by Taylor Madigan came off a corner kick just more than eight minutes into the second half, and the put-away goal by Ally Miller came with less than eight minutes to play off another corner that stayed in the box.
Postgame notes
• The appearance was Princeton's 10th in the NCAA tournament and eighth in the last 14 seasons.
• Though the program had won NCAA tournament games in 1982, 2001 and 2004, last weekend's win over West Virginia on the Mountaineers' home field was the first to come away from the Princeton campus.
• Senior Jen Hoy finished her season with 18 goals, the second-highest season total in program history, and her career with 36 goals, the fourth-highest total in program history.
• Hoy and sophomore Lauren Lazo, with 29 goals combined, were only the third duo in Princeton history to each score 10-plus goals in a season, after Linda DeBoer and Susan Mooney in 1982 (22 combined) and current assistant coach Esmeralda Negron and Emily Behncke in 2004 (33 combined).
• Princeton's record all-time against Big East teams moved to 36-23-4 overall and 2-5 in the NCAA tournament.
• Princeton was looking to defeat the 2012 BIG EAST tournament champion (Marquette) after defeating the 2011 champion (West Virginia, now in the Big 12) in the first round.
• The loss ended Princeton's 12-match win streak, tied for the second longest in program history.
• Princeton ended a Marquette shutout streak that had reached 287:40.

The entire list
A9 TV: July 23th, 2013
ADNAN OKTAR: Sisi should be reasonable but some people should reconcile, because this has already become a fight, it is out of control. So Turkey should reconcile. And America can reconcile, and it would be enough if these two reconcile. If Turkey and America reconcile, than everything would be settled. Or let's invite all of them here, let them come to Turkey. We should reconcile, because this is already out of control, and it could become worse. There can be a great civil war, there can be a blind civil war. It seems that it is going to be like this, Allah knows: It is very important to reconcile.
A9 TV: July 8th, 2013
ADNAN OKTAR: Turkey should intervene in the Egypt issue. We cannot achieve anything by saying "You make coups". We must talk to them. There is a great tension between two sides at the moment. With this fighting spirit, Allah forbid, first keep things calm, but then turns everything upside down and it is going to be like that. We should be patient to the end and we should be compassionate and merciful. So Turkey and America should intervene.
7 August 2013, Akşam
It is written in Egyptian newspapers that Obama will meet Muslim Brotherhood authorities this month through Turkish diplomats. It is also written that the Turkish diplomats will first advise that Mursi should be returned to the presidency and the Muslim Brotherhood should stay active in politics.

Media have excuses for Sestak obsession, not reasons
Long after many reporters insisted that if only the White House revealed whether Joe Sestak was offered a job the story would go away, reporters are getting ever-more-creative in their attempts to justify covering what is quite clearly not a scandalous act. Two excuses dominate: The Obama camp's promise to be more ethical than predecessors, and its promises of transparency.
Marc Ambinder (who, I should note, has been good about making clear that there's no legal issue here) explains the first:
This is the reason why ethics lawyers can read the text of the statutes, which seem to be clear, and conclude that no prosecutor in his or her right mind would ever bring a case against a White House for doing what the Obama White House did. However, since the Obama White House holds itself as an avatar of ethical excellence, it might have to hold itself to a higher standard than other White Houses. That is an optical problem, not a legal one.
First of all, every incoming administration promises to be more ethical than its predecessors. Remember George W. Bush's pledge to "restore honor and integrity to the Oval Office"? Despite that pledge, reporters could barely pretend to care when Bush's administration outer a covert CIA operative, or when they tried to turn U.S. attorneys into opposition researchers with the power to issue indictments. Despite that pledge, reporters had to be dragged kicking and screaming to (briefly) cover evidence that the Bush administration had lied its way into war. And despite that pledge, reporters certainly didn't care when Karl Rove reportedly offered someone a job to get him to drop out of a campaign [1].
But things are different now: The Obama administration may have offered someone a job to get him to drop out of a campaign! Oh. Wait…
Second: It's one thing to say the White House promised a higher level of ethical excellence and should be held to that promise, and another to invent, after the fact, ethical transgressions that have never before in the history of the republic been considered ethical transgressions. Yes, the Obama team said they'd be ethically excellent (as does every incoming administration) and yes, they should be held to that promise (as should every administration.)
But that has nothing to do with offering Joe Sestak a job, because offering Joe Sestak a job is not ethically suspect. (It may be politically suspect, but that's a different kettle of fish.) Nobody considered it ethically suspect when previous presidents did it, and nobody has explained why it should be considered ethically suspect now. It's like criticizing Obama for failing to live up to his promises of ethical behavior because he wears a blue shirt. It doesn't make any sense, because you haven't established that there's anything wrong with wearing a blue shirt.
The fact that nobody considered such job offers when previous administrations made them brings us to Matthew Dowd on ABC's This Week:
I think this issue is - it is - it is a political issue. And it does hurt his brand because he came to Washington and said I'm going to change things. I'm going to do things differently. I'm not going to be like Bush and Cheney. We're going to do a whole new politics. We're going to bring people together. We're not going to do all - we're not going to politicize things. And then all of the sudden their excuse now in this thing, everybody does it, so we do it. That's a problem for his brand.
That would be a very good point, if the Obama White House was currently saying "It's cool that we outted a covert CIA agent and lied our way into war, because the Bush administration did it, too." But that isn't what the Obama White House, or anyone else, is saying. What they're saying is that nobody complained when previous administrations of both parties did the same thing, because there's nothing wrong with it. That's quite different. It's the difference between "one person previously did it, and there was widespread outrage" and "everyone does it and nobody complains, because there's nothing wrong with it." The difference between "Yeah, I have brown hair; so does half the country" and "Yeah, I killed him and put his head in the freezer; so did Jeffrey Dahmer." Not the same. Different. Curiously, the implication of Dowd's criticism is that any time the Obama White House does something the Bush White House did, that's inappropriate. Curious, that is, coming from one of Bush's chief strategists.
Finally, there's the "they promised transparency" excuse [2]. Yes, the Obama campaign promised transparency. No, that was not a promise to reveal every word of every conversation everyone ever has in the White House. No, nobody thought that's what it meant at the time. The tendency of some reporters to invoke the transparency pledge, and to suggest that it has been broken, every time they want to know something is dishonest and in bad faith.*
These two justifications have something in common: they're all invoked to get around the sticky little problem created by the fact that there's nothing wrong with offering Joe Sestak a job. Rather than explain why it would be unethical to do so, reporters say "well, they said they'd be more ethical, so they should be." OK, fine: How haven't they been? What is unethical about offering Joe Sestak a job? Nothing. What's wrong with refusing to discuss details of a totally legal job offer? "Well … they said they'd be transparent!" OK, fine: Did anyone ever interpret that to mean they'd disclose all details of all job offers? Of course not.
These are not substantive criticisms of the White House. They are excuses to prolong the story. Those are the kinds of things you expect from the political opposition. Why are they coming from journalists?
* I'll happily retract that statement just as soon as anyone can point me to any comment made by Dan Balz or any other reporter in 2008 indicating that Barack Obama had pledged to make public every word of every conversation anyone acting on his behalf has with anyone about any job.

Research Focus
Misfolded Proteins and ER stress-induced cell death
Mechanisms of neurodegenerative disease
I am an Associate Research Professor collaborating with Drs. Dale Bredesen and David Greenberg on: Endoplasmic Reticulum stress and neuronal cell death and mechanisms of age-associated neurodegenerative diseases.
Neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and prion protein diseases all feature misfolded proteins and their aggregates that appear to play a role in disease pathogenesis. However the mechanism and pathways by which misfolded proteins induce cellular stress response ultimately leading to neuronal cell death is poorly understood. Accumulation of misfolded proteins whether in the cytosol or the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), elicits cellular stress responses that protect cells against toxic buildup of misfolded proteins. Prolonged stress leads to organelle damage and dysfunction and ultimately leads to cell death.
We have been investigating the biochemical pathways that couple misfolded proteins to the cell death programs. These studies have led to the identification of several new proteins that function in this link that therefore represent potential therapeutic targets.

Right-Wing Media Falsely Claim State Department Ignored Benghazi Review Recommendations
Research ››› ››› ZACHARY PLEAT
The right is selectively quoting an Inspector General (IG) report to accuse the State Department of ignoring the recommendations from the Benghazi Accountability Review Board (ARB). In fact, the IG report noted that the State Department is making progress implementing the ARB recommendations and praised its leadership as a model for future ARB responses.
Fox, Daily Caller Claim State Department Is "Dragging Its Feet" On Implementing ARB Recommendations
Fox News' Martha MacCallum Suggests Former Secretary Of State Hillary Clinton Lied About Implementing Recommendations. On Fox News' America's Newsroom, co-host Martha MacCallum suggested that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton lied about implementing the ARB's recommendations. Fox News contributor Steve Hayes agreed, saying that the State Department is "not actually implementing any of the recommendations, or many of the recommendations to the extent that they said that they would." Fox News contributor Richard Grenell further said that State Department leadership "haven't implemented the recommendations." Throughout much of the segment, on-screen text said that the State Department "ignored security recommendations from Benghazi." [Fox News, America's Newsroom, 9/26/13]
Fox News' Heather Childers: IG Report Says State Department "Is Dragging Its Feet" On Implementing Recommendations. On Fox News' Fox & Friends First, co-host Heather Childers claimed that the State Department has "not learned its lesson" from the Benghazi attack on implementing security improvements:
CHILDERS: It has been more than a year after the deadly terror attack in Benghazi, and the State Department still has not learned its lesson. A brand new report reveals that is has ignored safety recommendations, doing almost nothing to enhance security at high-alert diplomatic outposts. And the Inspector General's office says that the State Department is dragging its feet. [Fox News, Fox & Friends First, 9/26/13]
Daily Caller: "State Department Has Ignored Security Recommendations." A Daily Caller post claimed that the IG "accused the State Department of dragging its feet in implementing new security standards," quoting a portion of the report which said that the State Department's actions "do not comply" with a specific recommendation:
The inspector general's office accused the State Department of dragging its feet in implementing new security standards for the 27 overseas posts designated "high-threat" after the Benghazi attack. In doing so, it denounced the department for ignoring recommendations from the Benghazi Accountability Review Board (ARB).
"The Department's actions to date do not comply with this recommendation," auditors wrote. "The Benghazi ARB specifically tasked the Department to identify minimum security standards for occupancy in high-risk, high-threat environments. ... [The current standards] do not establish minimum security standards for occupancy or address requirements beyond construction standards." [The Daily Caller, 9/25/13]
But The IG Report Said The State Department "Wasted No Time" In Implementing Many Recommendations
IG Report: State Department "Is Making Progress Implementing The Benghazi Accountability Review Board Recommendations." Contrary to right-wing media claims, the IG report acknowledged the State Department's progress in implementing many of the recommendations made by the Benghazi ARB:
The Department of State is making progress implementing the Benghazi Accountability Review Board recommendations. Many of them have worldwide applicability and remain to be fully institutionalized.
Elsewhere, the report noted: "Implementation continues, albeit on a less regular schedule now that many of the recommendations have been addressed." [United States Department Of State Office Of Inspector General, September 2013]
IG Report: State Department "Wasted No Time Addressing The Recommendations Of The Benghazi ARB." According to the report, the State Department "wasted no time addressing the recommendations of the Benghazi ARB":
The Department wasted no time addressing the recommendations of the Benghazi ARB. It enlisted numerous bureaus and offices to assist in developing plans for implementation. It formed working groups and committees, established panels of experts, and convened special review boards. Senior Department leadership has been involved through information memos, action memos, and the chairing of review committees. In seeking to fulfill the ARB recommendations, the Department issued instructional and guidance cables, made changes to the FAM and Foreign Affairs Handbook (FAH), and modified position descriptions and organizational structures. [United States Department Of State Office Of Inspector General, September 2013]
IG Report Praised Actions Of Clinton And Kerry In Leading Implementation Of ARB Recommendations. The report praised the personal involvement of Secretaries Hillary Clinton and John Kerry as "a model for how the Department should handle future ARB recommendations":
The Department's handling of the Benghazi ARB recommendations represents a significant departure from the previous norm in that Secretary Clinton took charge directly of oversight for the implementation process. She designated the Deputy Secretary for Management and Resources as the coordinator for implementation with strict guidelines for a reporting schedule. Initially, the Deputy Secretary held weekly meetings with under secretaries and assistant secretaries to track implementation. Implementation continues, albeit on a less regular schedule now that many of the recommendations have been addressed.
This high-level oversight of the Benghazi ARB implementation process has been sustained through the transition from Secretary Clinton to Secretary Kerry. This level of attention from both secretaries and their senior staffs is a reflection of their personal concern in this matter and the unique scope of the Benghazi ARB recommendations. Approximately 90 percent of the recommendations (26 of 29) in the Benghazi report focused on systemic management reforms.
High-level leadership has been critical in driving and sustaining implementation of the Benghazi ARB recommendations, and this approach establishes a model for how the Department should handle future ARB recommendations.

Hi Lucy,
I need you immediate help. I'm going to tutor two students on the Ielts exam. I am having trouble deciding which book to use as the course book since their level are beginner while all the book I have are for higher level students. I guess you might be familiar with this exam and could therefore give me some advice. I'd also like to know your idea about the approach to my tutoring. Should I deal with the four modules (listening, speaking, writing, reading) at the same time or only one or two section at a time, say reading and listening before writing and speaking. Also because my students'level of English is low, I plan to improve their English proficiency before teaching them the strategies for Ielts. Do you you think this is the right way or should I do two things at the same time?
Look forward to hear from you soon.
PS. Could you please reply me by Thursday since I have to decide on the coursebook by then. Sorry for urging you.

AMES, Iowa — Women involved in farm businesses learned about risk management and value-added agriculture at the Annie's Project workshop sponsored by Iowa State University Extension and Outreach and held at the Boone DMACC campus. Nine women from Boone, Marshall, Polk and Story counties graduated from the six-week program on Dec. 3.
The highlight of the program was a visit from Ruth Hambleton, the founder of Annie's Project, and Instructor of Farm Management at Southern Illinois University. Hambleton taught a financial analysis session, encouraging women to calculate key ratios and look for trends over time.
"It was a special treat for us to have Ruth join our class and contribute to the learning," said Madeline Schultz, course facilitator and Annie's Project National Co-Director and ISU Extension and Outreach Value-Added Agriculture specialist.
Women added to their business plans throughout the course and printed off the results of their hard work on the final week. Business plans included a business description, operation plan, marketing plan, financials and management plan. Participants focused their efforts on researching and documenting the kind of information that would be most helpful to their unique situation.
Nicole Jonas, of Red Granite Farm in Boone County, said the best part of the course was the jump start on the business plan. "I always meant to write one, but never started it," she said. "In other classes in the past, we were strongly encouraged to write one, but never forced."
Lynn Pfantz of Dusty Hill Farm in Marshall County agreed. "The financial part of it was huge. We started our business on a whim and didn't think about it, we just did it. There was no format for a business plan in classes before. It's nice to have a template now."
The Boone offering was a special topics Annie's Project course designed to meet the needs of women interested in value-added agriculture. The class participants are currently producing or interested in producing: art, niche pork, vegetables, fruits, equestrian experiences, greenhouse/nursery and specialty egg/poultry, as well as the more conventional farm businesses of swine farrowing to finishing, corn, soybeans and hay. Participants had from zero to 50 years of experience with farming and supported each other's learning throughout the course.
The Annie's Project course took place in six three-hour sessions. Course curriculum covered five areas of agricultural risk: financial, human resources, legal, marketing and production. Each week, a course facilitator and several guest speakers highlighted a risk management topic. Women participating in the course learned more about:
Ruth Hambleton taught the first Annie's Project course in 2003. Since then more than 8,000 women in 30 states have participated in this risk management education course. Ruth based the course on the life of her mother, Annette Kohlhagen Fleck. Annie spent her lifetime learning how to be an involved farm business partner with her husband. The challenges Annie faced included three generations living under one roof, raising four children, low farm profitability, changing food-based laws that impacted her farm, and changing farm enterprises. Through it all, Annie kept records and knew the little things like deadlines. When big decisions had to made, Annie was there. She kept the farm business, the family and her marriage running.
In addition to Hambleton, guest speakers for the course included ISU Extension and Outreach specialists — Mary Clancy, Boone County; Andy Larson, small farms; Margaret Smith, value-added agriculture; Kelvin Leibold, farm management; and Barb Wollan, family finance — and Angie Loew, Farm Credit Services of America; Andy Hunziker; Farm Service Agency; Erin Herbold-Swalwell, attorney; Meg Dobson, State Farm Insurance; and Sue Thomas Snyder, Natural Resource Conservation District.
Annie's Project in Iowa is supported this year by Farm Credit Services of America and the USDA Risk Management Agency grant # 11iE-53102-080.

Questions About Setting Up My 29gal
Hello everyone!
So, I am about to setup my 29gal in its final location and I am still considering how I'm going to scape it, thinking an Iwagami sort of style, but I'm not really sure, either way.
I currently have 3 bags of regular Flourite, now, I've been checking out tropica.com and looking over some of the layouts they have to get some ideas and watched a few of the videos they have of the setup of some of the tanks. They seem to only use a very small bag of "substrate" and then cap it with sand/gravel. I'm not sure if they have some sort of concentrated Fertilizer they use or what, but it's got me thinking I may have more than I need.
Now my last tank I had setup about 10ish months ago, for about 6months (broke it down to move) and I had two bags of washed Flourite in it, it did fine, but I found planting in it was, at times, a challenge due to the larger size of the Flourite and plants not wanting to, initially stay bedded in it and would float up from the current from my filter (Fluval 306)
So, I guess I want to ask... Would one, or maybe two bags be enough to sustain a medium, possibly heavily planted tank if I cap it with either generic sand/gravel (say about .5-1" of Flourite, assuming 1 bag would cover about that, and then ~1-3" of sand/gravel) and use root tabs to help sustain them?
Put 2 or all 3 bags in, and put a much thinner cap on it, of sand, and add tabs if/when needed
Just leaving it with 3 bags of flourite and no cap at all and add tabs as needed/if needed
I don't plan to do any large re scaping, at least not soon, so I'm not overly worried about having the sand 'fall' into the Flourite if I do end up putting it on as a cap. I can always just add more sand to recap if needed right? And the dust I can deal with at the time I decide to do that.
Also, I am still debating on 'washing' the Flourite or not. I have read pro's and con's for both. Like I'd said, I did for my first tank, which took me about 2 hours to wash 2 bags, doing it in a 2.5gal bucket. If I do, I should have a cleaner tank faster, but if I don't I might have more nourishment for the plants... possibly? (This could open a can of worms, which I have no intention of doing, just wanted to mention I still had not decided on what I was doing about it. To wash Or not to wash)
Any thoughts?
Oh, also, I've been thinking about using basic sand for the cap, I have nothing against using more/different substrate here, like Flourite black sand, or even Eco-Complete. But then all the sub is full of ferts and could possibly cause water problems if I dont plant heavily enough off the get go?
I run my tanks without a cap. Tends to get mixed, and no way to separate it. It won't keep the plants down any better.
To rinse or not is up to you. An easier way is to dump it into the tank and deliberately make a mess, stirring and then drain. Repeat. When you have done this a couple of times be much more careful not to make any more mess, and set up the 'scape. Rinsing the substrate in the tank is much easier than in small buckets.
When you fill the tank put a plate or plastic bag over the substrate and pour the water in slowly so it seeps over the edge of the bag and into the substrate.
Thanks for the input. I think I'll not cap them and see how it goes, I dont mind washing it. So I think I'll at least rinse it a few times outside of the tank and see how it goes!
Hopefully should have everything to get it started by Sunday, but I have a feeling I wont, so wont be till the following weekend as I need to get some plants picked out!
Get the set up going and get started on the fishless cycle, even without plants.
When you get the plants, drain the tank, plant, then refill.
This will not interrupt the fishless cycle, the bacteria grow on surfaces, not much in the water.

text: Hi All! I've gone on a fitness kick in the past few months, and really want to use skating as exercise. I'm not very proficient on skates, as one might expect, but that really isn't my biggest problem. Within 10 minutes of stepping on the ice, the arches of my feet hurt so bad that I really can't continue. I have to "pull over" into the penalty box, or step off of the ice altogether. I'm sure this is just an issue of me formerly living my life like veal: aka, not ever really moving. Is there any exercises or anything i can do to strengthen those muscles so that I can actually take a class or lessons to where I'm not basically crippled? If I could get past this, I think it would be the perfect way to exercise! Any advice is VERY much appreciated! I work less than half a mile from the World Ice Arena in Flushing, NY, and it just seems like a no-brainer to go there after work for my workout, but this problem is so intimidating!!

Look inside: Local survivalist's self-made 'foxhole'
Updated: Aug 28, 2013 at 10:35 AM PDT
»Play Video
SEATTLE - Somewhere in King County, underneath Barry Knowles' garage, hidden by some old cardboard, sits a 10-foot by 10-foot secret bunker.
Knowles built and installed the airtight bunker years ago.
"Everybody wants a secret room in their house - everybody does - either to hide your things or to hide yourself if you have to," Knowles said.
Knowles is one of a growing number of self-proclaimed survivalists around the country. He even appeared on National Geographic's television show "Doomsday Preppers."
Knowles explains he'll survive a nuclear war, and most people won't.
"Bad things could happen," Knowles said.
And according to Knowles, his foxholes are selling like hotcakes all across America and he's even getting orders from other countries.
Anyone can custom-order their own foxhole from Knowles' website, he'll even help you install it under your living room.
It's not just for a zombie apocalypse, he says a lot of people use it for storage or a wine cellar.
"This will hold about 1,300 bottles of wine," Knowles said.
He's outfitted his with food, water, a pump to suck and filter outside air, and the foxholes can even have plumbing.
Knowles is currently working on a 20-foot foxhole designed for businesses and schools in tornado zones. He says it will cost around $50,000.
Black Blade: Yep, I could use the extra storage space as well.

Thanks to many that were involved with this fun and wonderful project. Most items were purchased or made right here on TDH.
To make a long story short, one of the boxes that was shipped to me never arrived from the post office. Even though it had tracking, it was dropped off at another house. Not even remotely close to my house as a matter of fact. The owners of the house called the Post Office several times to let them know that they needed to come pick up the package and deliver it to the right address....well that never happened. As it turns out, the owners go to my Church and recognized my name, they delivered the box themselves late last week. Thankfully all was well within the box. There were several items I had purchased from Tuksido (sp) from the CH.
Well enough of that. On with the pictures.
Fantastic Girth Belt and Ammo Belt with Pouches
Above are some Cruzer Child Gauntlets. Fantastic I might add. Only had to do some slight trimming so he could bend his arms and scratch his nose.
Spats and Pouches from Darth Carcinus and Knee armor from TK2280
A LSFU Child Vest with TK2280 Armor on it.
Jetpack purchased from Tuksido
Cod and Buttplate from TK2280. Blaster from Hasbro set purchased of EBay
2 styles of gloves. I went with the pair on the left with some painting.
Above is a One End helmet after sanding and priming. This actually took the most time to do. I got this helmet about 2 months ago, and finished it the day before Halloween.
Flightsuit was made by my Lovely Wife using patterns suggested by LSFU.
Blaster has been painted and weathered with info from Fettdad
Flightsuit is now weathered by me. Decals from Luckys31.
Helmet was painted with a Topical method. My Son said he wanted it to be "damaged alot", so I took the liberty to make it look like this. I know it is not screen accurate, but he wanted it this way.
More pics of the helmet.
Final product of the helmet. I ordered the Green Welders lens online. I was able to cut it out using my handy Trauma Shears. Used the T-Nut technique to hold it in place. Also used a T-Nut to hold the rangefinder, which is fully functional.
Here is His suit next to my Daughters. Both of these ended up coming out pretty nice.
Beginning to suit up.
Getting things just right.
Not exactly the pose I was hoping for, but he's definitely working it.
Getting the aim down on his Scope. Nice that the first person he aimed for was me.
Almost finished. Now he's really getting into it. Kept wanting to run to the bathroom to look at himself.:lol
And we are done. About 15 minutes to get him dressed out. About 2 months of hard labor to get everything to fit just right.
Classic Fett Pose
Looking good in my book.
These two shared "Best Costume" at our Trunk or Treat. Daughter and Son Fett's. I think that is every mans dream in the end.
We are all dressed out for Halloween.
Well, it was a labor of love. Can't wait to have my own Boba Costume finished now. The kids keep asking if they can wear their costumes outside even today. I ended up buying them the Cheap Rubies type costumes so they could go out and play as Characters and not demolish these ones.
Looking forward to Celebration V to show these off again.

Alright. I'm to lazy to post pics at the moment. But Fett enthusiasts should know the pics I'm talking about. Alright. In the Visual Dictionary shoot, all of the pics of his ROTJ rifle have just half of a scope. I used to think this was merely a cropping of the picture, until I began seeing this half-scoped rifle all over the place. In the helmet section, in TD's new post, somone posted a pic of ESB helmeted fett with blaster, and it's got just half. What is up with this weird rifle?
My theory was that it was a "stunt" blaster that was used in the Luke slicing scene. Perhaps that blaster was detachable at the pvc joint meeting the webley and the scope at that joint was in two pieces. Once this scene was filmed, for publicity purposes a gun may have been needed and the stunt was quickly reassembled without the half of the scope? Just a thought, but I'm pretty curious.

Founded in 1931, Rickenbacker was the first company in the world that set out with the exclusive aim of producing electric instruments. Its founder Adolph Rickenbacker originally started selling Hawaiian lap steel, slide and resonator guitars.
When rock and roll kicked in during the fifties, they moved to the standard guitars you know and love today: the 4000 series basses (precursors to the 4003 Jetglo bass) and the 300 series guitars are amongst the most popular. True stereo outputs and natural chorus from the 12 string 330.
In particular, The Beatles' use of Rickenbacker 6 strings, with Paul McCartney playing a Rick bass, firmly placed their iconic look and sound in popular consciousness. While Roger Waters of Pink Floyd and John Entwistle of The Who were amongst the earliest Rickenbacker bassists, their popularity has never dwindled with the Edge, Peter Buck (REM), Johnny Marr & Ezra Koenig (Vampire Weekend) all rocking Rickenbacker.
