Try manofwar he does them

NME props makes both arena and traditional. Manofwar on ebay I think also does arena packs, but maybe he just does original style. And I think there's a seller or 2 on the Mercs board, though it might have been a Death Watch pack that I'm thinking of rather than an Arena. Fett pride on here also does packs. Once again I don't know if he does Arena packs though or not.
NME props link: http://www.nmeprops.com/marcushelmet...arena-jet-pack
For the death watch pack look for tk3181 on the mercs.
And of course you can always scratch build or Pepakura. I'm doing that myself for my own Arena pack.

RS also make a very accurate Arena pack.
Thank you guys,
I will have to investigate all these options. What are most of them made out of resin or fiberglass?
RS props are making mine at the moment
I have had a MOW arena pack and currently troop a RS Props pack. The RS props pack is very accurate. It is also a bit smaller.
My first question would be how big are you? That would affect what maker I would recommend.
I am 5'10" with boots about 165 lbs. I was looking into doing a Cruzer setup with dented helmet etc. But your advice would be great.
I am 5-10 bare foot and about 180. The RS Props pack is just about perfect on me. The MOW pack is a bit larger but not so much that you can't use it.
If you look in that thread you can see the packs as I assembled them. In post 37 is a side by side comparison. BFUK has since renamed as RS Props btw.
I have Cruzer from shoulder to toes. I use an Asok helmet currently but I have a Cruzer dented helmet that I am going to paint up as soon as I have an afternoon to get it done. So if you look at my pics you can probably tell about sizing for yourself.
Hey that's great I will contact RS for information etc. this is coming along nicely. Anyone have a source for gloves?
The lady I speak to is Andrea firstname.lastname@example.com
I have no idea if someone on here makes gloves, but a lot of people just go to their local stores or shop online for whatever darkblue/black leather gloves they can find. It's pretty easy to find some dark colored leather lady's gloves in XL sizes...
I use women's Merona navy blue gloves from Target.

Today the High is Closed
Renee Stout
2010 Driskell Prize Winner
The High Museum of Art has named artist Renee Stout as the 2010 recipient of the David C. Driskell Prize. Named after the renowned African American artist and art scholar, the Driskell Prize is an annual award that recognizes a scholar or artist in the beginning or middle of his or her career whose work makes an original and important contribution to the field of African American art or art history. Based in Washington, D.C., Stout works in a variety of media including photography, sculpture, painting, drawing and printmaking. As the sixth Driskell award recipient, Stout will be honored at the Driskell Prize Dinner in Atlanta on Monday, April 19, 2010.
"Renee Stout is a visual artist fully incorporating every available resource to create works relevant to both past and present," said Michael E. Shapiro, Nancy and Holcombe T. Green, Jr. Director of the High. "Her ability to draw upon the implications of the African Diaspora and highlight African culture through her imaginative and distinctive art exemplifies the qualities of a David C. Driskell Prize recipient. We are pleased to support her vision and development through this award."
Stout's mixed-media works examine the impact of the African Diaspora and the traditions of her African heritage as well as the themes of self-exploration, empowerment and healing. Using a variety of media and visual languages—including African aesthetics and secondhand materials—Stout pieces together narratives that tie history to contemporary society.
Imaginary characters recur in Stout's work, adding whimsy and humor to the challenging and often depressing subject matter. The character Madame Ching appears in many works, including the 1993 piece Traveling Root Store #2: Madame Ching Goes High Tech, in which Stout pits a vintage doctor's bag, vials and herbs against Madame Ching's new-age custom computer. The keyboard on the computer is altered to Madame Ching's needs, with various buttons being replaced to assist her in reaching deities. Also present in many works is Stout's alter-ego Fatima Mayfield. "Fatima Mayfield, a fictitious herbalist/fortuneteller, is the vehicle that allows me to role-play in order to confront the issues, whether it's romantic relationships, social ills or financial woes, in a way that's open, creative and humorous," said Stout.
Renee Stout received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Carnegie Mellon University in 1980 before moving to Washington, D.C., where she began to study her African American heritage, the wellspring of her subsequent work and career. As an arts advocate, Stout served on the panel of the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities as well as George Washington University's panel "Art School, Confidential: Rethinking Art Education." In 1999 she won the Anonymous Was a Woman award and her second Pollock-Krasner Foundation award. Recent awards and recognition include the Joan Mitchell Painters and Sculptors Grant and a fellowship as the first artist-in-residence at Johns Hopkins University (2009). Throughout her career, Stout's participation in numerous solo and group exhibitions has been met with international success. She currently lives and works in Washington, D.C.
The selection process for the 2010 recipient of the Driskell Prize began with a call for nominations from a national pool of artists, curators, teachers, collectors and art historians. The final winner was chosen from these nominations by review-committee members Richard Powell, John Spencer Bassett Professor of Art History, Duke University; Jacquelyn D. Serwer, Chief Curator, National Museum of African American History and Culture, Smithsonian Institution; and Michael Rooks, Wieland Family Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art, High Museum of Art, Atlanta.

OK I know that buying a Century built FAL can be a crapshoot but this gun looked real good. I now find that the gas adj ring won?t turn lower than about 4 ? and I can?t see how the damn thing is attached, it doesn?t seem to have that C shaped spring like it should. Also the piston must have been too long so it was cut down to make it fit, it still has the rough cut marks so I?ll have to clean them up so it won?t markup the bolt carrier. The gas plug is longer than others I?ve seen so I?d guess that?s why the piston was cut down, I think this may be an Israeli gas plug or something.
Now the biggest problem is the fact that it won?t fire, it makes a dimple in the primer but no happiness. I removed the pin (Two piece) and it looks fine so I measured how far it protrudes when I compress the spring and I get .050 of pin showing. I need to know if that is correct or is it short? Anyone out there that can pull their bolt and check this for me I?d appreciate it very much, or if you have any other ideas that may help please feel free to put your two cents in. Oh yah if you do pull the firing pin, how long is it? My pin is 3.305 lg. not including the rear piece.

I haven't seen many of Boguts games but I did see a few when he was in Milwaukee.
But from what I remember he wasn't a juggernaut by any means. Though he was a very good ball player I dont remember him willing his teams to multiple wins,
Having a start like this. Healthy
Nor shoot the ball, rebound the ball, block the ball, or do anything with the ball like Stephen curry is doing with it this season.
Curry has changed in the last 4-6 games. He's controlling the tempo and showing leadership skills. He's FINALLY making the adjustments and becoming the leader. It's great to see! and the Warriors are winning. All of this means more recognition for Curry and the Dubs
Last edited by Public Enemy #1; 12-08-2012 at 12:02 AM.
Kinda random but i remember when Curry was drafted the media made bs rumors that he was upset when drafted by GS and would leave at first opportunity to NY. Funny how he signed that extension
2010 and 2012 World Series Champs !
people say curry wanted to go to NY cuz of the spotlight, but if curry wanted to be in the spotlight he would have transfered out of davidson after his freshman yr.
Exactly. A rumor based on baseless insinuations
Anyone still wanna trade him for Rajon "No Jumpshot" Rondo?
ill trade him for triple double rondo.

« more RISD stories
For an assignment on pollution and waste in the course The Art of Communicating Science, Angela Hseih 12 GD spun a giant web made from 150 plastic bags cut and wound into strips. Hseih collected the bags from the third floor of her dorm in a few days.
As an institution, RISD has
been leading the way in advocating for art and design as integral to – not
separate from – science and innovation, with major recent initiatives like STEM to STEAM and the National Science Foundation's EPSCoR
What is less well known is
that individually, RISD students have been following the same impulse as well.
For years they have turned to cross-registration opportunities at Brown to
pursue their interests in science. But now that RISD's Division of Liberal Arts has significantly expanded its
offerings in this area, students are lining up for a growing and uniquely
design-oriented RISD science curriculum. In the process, they're exploring topics
ranging from insect morphology to physics to cognitive neuroscience.
The new, interdisciplinary curriculum, administered by the department of History, Philosophy + the Social Sciences (HPSS), is now in its second year and
offers a dozen courses, including this semester's Evolutionary Biology and Investigating
the Botanical World. The hope, says HPSS Department Head Daniel
Cavicchi, is to expand the offerings
so that a wide range of courses in the physical and natural sciences will rotate in and out of the curriculum.
"Students have really
flocked to these courses. They're yearning for science," says Cavicchi. "And
while some have been going to Brown to do that, what is different about RISD is
that these science courses are looking at the intersection of art and science,
and what these two realms can lend each other."
Before the curriculum was
developed, HPSS had been teaching a handful of science courses on an ad hoc
basis. Now, Cavicchi says, the push is on to make science courses integral to
the liberal arts component of a RISD education. "We're really making a
commitment to the study of science, recognizing it as a force in art and design
Accomplishing that goal has
meant deepening partnerships with existing resources like the Nature Lab,
developing courses that allow for hands-on experimentation and observation
without the daunting time commitment of traditional science lab work and establishing
new collaborations with scientists like Lucy
Spelman, a biologist and
veterinarian who specializes in zoological medicine.
So far Spelman has taught
three science courses, including the Kyobo grant-funded course The Art of Communicating Science, which
she co-taught with Illustration Assistant Professor Susan Doyle 81 IL/MFA 98 PT/PR last fall.
"Most of the science outreach that is designed to improve
science literacy among the general public is largely science education,"
Spelman says. "But it could be so much more. Artists and designers can have a
huge impact by participating in how we communicate science because they have
the skills to reach out to people in other ways – to make science fun, debatable,
interesting and emotional. This is why I am so enthusiastic about teaching at
RISD. There is so much potential."

Hey all. I'm a little late posting these. Emerald City Comic Con was almost a month ago now!
Well, our garrison in Seattle, Wa. were invited back to ECCC and given a booth for our big vinyl backdrop to take charity photos for a new childrens therapy center in Seattle. We ended up raising over 2,000 grand, and the con matched our donation, so a total of over 4,000 grand for the therapy center! It was awesome.
The con is great. More and more big names in comics being signed on, and creating more of a draw. Also, Daniel Logan was there! He was really cool, hung out at the booth, took photos, and him and his dad went to the garrison dinner.
Anywho, these photos were taken by one of the garrison's friends, who is a professional photographer, and made our Death Star Backdrop turn out incredible. If anyone would like his contact info, pm me.
I pulled most of the Fett pics to show, there are a ton of great photos of everyone, I was actually only there for one of the two days. These were some of my Fett favs.
On with the pics!

With two outs in the top of the first inning, Miranda Reinke (Milwaukee, Wis.) hit an RBI sacrifice fly to left field, scoring Hailey Mohrfeld (Menominee Falls, Wis.) for the 1-0 lead. Stacey Butts (Greenfield, Wis.) followed up with a two-run RBI single to right field, scoring Danielle Peerenboom (Appleton, Wis.) and her sister Shannon for the 3-0 advantage.
The Phoenix closed the first inning scoring three runs on four hits while stranding two runners on base. With one out in the bottom of the inning, Detroit hit a two-run homer, cutting Green Bay's lead to 3-2.
With two runners on base and one out in the third inning, Paige Newtols (Green Bay, Wis.) hit an RBI single to left field scoring Shannon Butts (Greenfield, Wis.) and boosting Green Bay's lead to 4-2. Detroit added an RBI single of its own in the bottom of the inning to make it a 4-3 game.
Detroit took a 7-4 lead in the bottom of the fifth inning after scoring four runs off four hits.
Stacey Butts led off the final inning with a solo homerun to left field, cutting the Titans' lead to 7-5. The homer was Butts' first of her career with the Phoenix.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|OP, nobody knows you or your puppy. Nobody can say what your puppy will be like when she's a year old, and most importantly - nobody can say what will be her most motivating reward. Some like food, some like toys, some like praise. I bet yours will be one of the ones that likes praise the best, and will be super easy to mature into an adult. Your decision to ease up a bit with the training and focus more on playing and engagement is a good choice, IMO, and even if you didn't like how other people put it, it was good of them to point it out to you - and really good of you to stay flexible

If you think your pup is starting to ignore commands or do them slowly now, you are gonna be in for a nice surprise when she hits 7-10 months. What are you going to do then? Just tether her to you all day again?
Back to the Basics...
And maybe I see your point and disagree with parts of it in regards to my own situation, because I AM doing what y'all keep telling me I need to do. But no. I'm a silly little idiot girl ruining her puppy and will regret everything in the future and have to replace her because of me being that silly little idiot girl who doesn't listen to y'all's "advice" and comments on how I'm going to regret it all.
You know what? Maybe I will. I'm not discarding ANYTHING, let me repeat, ANYTHING that y'all are telling me. NO. I'm reading, researching, and HAVE adjusted my plan accordingly.
But because I'm not bowing at your feet thanking you profusely for your great wisdom, I get snark and told that "maybe" I'll listen when my pup is good and ruined.
You said your piece. I listened. I'm flexible. I make changes that work. Will we continue with all 16 commands and push and push and push? NO!!!!!!!
But does that mean that from here until she's a year old I will do nothing but play with her, ignore bad behavior or disobedience "bc she's just a puppy", also no. I adjust accordingly, and will do what is best for her.
But apparently, she's already ruined and I should just give everything up now bc I'm an idiot and a pusher and will do nothing but ruin her and end up with a nightmare of a dog.

You just can't see the point. You'll come around eventually. Maybe when you need a new dog for service work.
|It sounds like you are doing a wonderful job with Arya.
My pup. My mistakes to make.
If I'm in for a rude awakening, then I am. If not, then so be it. Regardless, she's not being abused and is happy and playful and enjoys herself and me. Will I be doing more engagement games and play time than I have been (mostly due to me working full time and going to school full time), yes. But do I think I've done something wrong by teaching my dog the way I have? No. She's happy, healthy, and whatever problems arise, I will deal with accordingly.
Don't like it, don't look. If I'm a stupid idiot who knows absolutely nothing and am in for a "rude awakening", that's my problem. Not yours.
And it's none of your business how I choose to deal with it when/if it arrives. Whether that be by "tethering" her to me all day, or going to a trainer, or some other method. If you end up meeting me in person and see I'm abusing or neglecting my dog, by all means. Call animal control. But other than that, if I'm happy with my dog and she's happy, none of your business how I choose to move forward with her.
Y'all have a good day.

Yeah... I have been thinking the past week that I'm expecting too much of her as a puppy. I'm not going to ignore the things she already knows, but I'm not going to be training anything new for quite a while... because right now, we have all we need for a happy mannerly pup. I don't think I'm CURRENTLY doing too much. But I think if I pushed it any further, I would be. Our goal is a mannerly pup who has fun. And THAT is what we are doing, and have been doing, and what I was doing with the leash thing in the OP. To go back to keeping her near me and around me and having fun. Not "oh, you're on a leash so you must work work work work work". Not at all.
She's being socialized and having fun is really our primary goal... and the training was a part of that. She enjoys learning, and enjoys doing things for me. And not even just because she gets a treat (which she doesn't always get a treat for doing it, especially not the manners stuff involving sitting and staying when at doors, behaving on a leash, etc... because those are commands and a part of life, not something extra).
It's not my TRAINING that I saw something wrong in. It was that I needed to do more, because she was starting to ignore the basics, so I had to go back and reinforce them, because they aren't just tricks or fun things. They are necessities due to safety. And that was the "come" and basic leash manners.
Looks like our "training" sessions from here on out will be a quick review and then just focus and drive games. Which I have been doing, just not as much of.
I can't say unless I watch you train, but its probably mostly the way you posted. Like I said, just the fact that you have realized something is wrong with your training says something was probably wrong and you're doing too much. Truth is, I'd just have fun and play with her. Focus games, drive building, things of that nature.
You have to realize all of the unnatural things you're asking your pup to do, is work. She's equating interacting with you to doing things that you ask her to do and then she gets treats for it. They're pretty useless exercises/commands...that at her young age she's equating to getting things from you. I think a sit, down, stay, heel are important...but things like paw, roll over, come to this point, go to that point...all those things are work.
I have a friend who raises puppies for a service dog organization...they have them until they're 1 year old and for the first few months they're barely allowed to teach them any commands...its all about socialization.

text: A case can be made for every one of those guys based on what Joe would likely have to pay them vs what Stuck will command in his upcoming contract. Aside from J-Rich, all of these guys would likely require less money. And yes. I DO believe that most of these dudes could give us Stuckey's production if they were given minutes and the ability to play through mistakes like Stuckey has.

I'm interested in different perspectives. How do we as shooters prepare ourselves for a range day?
We all want to be faster AND more accurate, How do [U]you[U] get there? This may help new shooters who don't have the advantage of instruction or coaching on the range.
Do you have a goal when you head to the range?
What is your drill list?
What skills does this list of drills support?
Will reinforcement of that skill support your goal for that range day?
Do you allot a percentage of your ammo to different skills?
My typical time on the range is:
1st mag fundamentals at full presentation. fire / second sight picture / reset trigger / fire ...
2nd mag fundamentals on the way to presentation: press out / sight picture / fire / second sight picture / trigger reset / recover to start (de-cock)
3rd mag increased pace of second mag string.
4th mag faster than 3rd mag
Repeat cycle until allotted rounds are complete.
What do you guys do?
Sorry, I'm kinda dull.
I just go to the range as often as I can and shoots.
I take different guns of different calibers each time.
I usually go with a friend or my wife or my family.
Not a whole lot of thought is given to anything but safety, enjoyment, and relaxation for me.
Whatever routine you select to follow, do not try to shoot quickly when you practice.
Instead, try to shoot smoothly. Try to shoot accurately.
Try to present smoothly, not quickly.
Quick presentations, and quick and accurate shooting, all are the result of long-term smooth practice.
Be smooth. Be accurate.
Smooth is faster than fast. Quick misses don't do the job.

Correct as usual.

Re: Could a self-professed bafoon install 12V refrigeration?
It really depends.
I've known scullions and jack-a-napes to really screw that job up. Dolts, even poltroons can manage it if they team up, or at least get some advice from a varlet. Naves, never.
But a buffoon ought to manage it ok.
If you run into real problems, though, your best bet would be to hire a lout.

DIY Fridge Install
I did my own install of a Frigoboat unit with the "keel cooler" option about a decade ago. Very Quiet (no fan) and efficient. The install is very fiddley work, in places where one can put only one arm and shoulder at a time, and some swearing will be needed.
After wising up and putting a gasket around the lid, almost zero condensation or frost on the evaporator plate.
I have some pics over at EY.org in a refrigeration thread. PM me for a link if wou wish.
Take your time, diagram out what your boat requires, and be sure to buy the parts kit from a reputable supplier who can answer your questions when you are upside down in the boat with a drill in one hand and cell phone in the other!
Frigoboat Home Page
These folks were extremely helpful and patiently answered all my stupid questions.
Re: Could a self-professed bafoon install 12V refrigeration?
I'm in the same boat (no pun intended). I have a 32' sloop in Florida and I'm considering air cooled vs. water cooled; Isotherm ASU 3201 looks good. Any thoughts?

The worst of it was changing out the galley sink drain thru-hull with a bronze one that housed the heat exchanger. Hasn't fouled or corroded in 10 years. It is a fairly compact thru-hull and wasn't any big deal to install. The only other large hole was a little over an inch to accommodate the special fittings that allow the system to be precharged. Other than that it was a matter of less than a dozen screws to secure the compressor, cold plate, fuse, and controller and running wiring.
Bottom line: The unit was more expensive than an air-cooled refrigeration system, but it is extremely compact, quiet, and apparently very efficient. I once ran it for 4 days on battery power to see how long it would take to discharge my battery bank. I wasn't running any other loads, so I would estimate that I could go 2 days on 3 fully charged 105 AH gel cells under realistic conditions (house lights, electronics, windlass).

I'd actually go on to say that professional hvac people (who Moi?) over think/plan more then necessary LOL
Re: Could a self-professed bafoon install 12V refrigeration?
I just put in an Engel last week. Real easy, any body could do it.
Re: Could a self-professed bafoon install 12V refrigeration?
Hey gang - THANKS for the great responses. I will give it a go when we get the boat here.

Re: Could a self-professed bafoon install 12V refrigeration?
Always more than one would think. Nothing sweats more than a beer or soda can. When I plug the drain in mine, I can get an inch of water in no time. Add any organic substance and it does stink. Even if you don't spill, things may have spilled on your containers in the factory or store. The condensation washes it off and it seems to like to grow on boats..........
Re: Could a self-professed bafoon install 12V refrigeration?
I've done it, so you can. Did the freezer, part way through doing the fridge.
Clive at Seafrost is a great help. They will send you everything you need. The connectors are simple to use after you read the instructions.
I bought the double gauges and pipe cutter from the local Harbor Freight store. It has easily paid for itself. There's a great book on marine refrigeration by Richard Kollmann. Definitely buy it. Never be afraid to buy tools and instructional books.
Figure out how to power it. A fridge will need one 130w solar panel, at least wehre I am. That's assuming your battery bank can handle it. (We have 330 amp-hours, which is pleny for a fridge where we are.) The Kollmann book talks about how much juice you'll need, based on the surface area of the fridge and whether it's top loading or side loading.
I ran 30 feet of tubing (x2) and put the compressor back near the steering quadrant -- think under the swim platform. That was to keep the noise away. Once I get insulated, flexible ducts to the outside, I expect it will be untra quiet -- only thing you can here on the Tradewinds units are teh little "computer fan". So they are quiet. Compressor don't drip water. The part inside the box will attract condensation.
Dishwashing liquid and a small paint brush is your friend for finding leaks -- usually an indicator the your connectors need to be tighted a little more.
Use slightly oversized wiring to keep line-loss low -- especially if you have a long run.
This spring I'm connecting the fridge compressor. I have both copper tubes and the thermostat wires already run.
I'm also connetion thefreezer's thermostat wires to a relay driven off the solar panel dump load, and maybe a second thermostat. If there's extra juice, the freezer compressor will just run and run. It's my way of saving the batteries by reducing the load at night. If I do the freezer right, the holding plate (and maybe some homemade icepacks made from diluted, non-toxic antifreeze) will keep the freezer cold enough to last through the night. That and I'm reducing the depth of the freezer with white-painted, pink (or blue) foam from Home Despot.
Anyone know of a liquid container that is really flat. It would be for making home-made ice-packs made from diluted, non-toxic antifreeze. Somehting 1" thick that still hods a quart would be great.

By Chris Harris
Arsène Wenger has not pressed ahead with a loan move for Thierry Henry but he has not ruled it out completely.
Arsenal's record goalscorer enjoyed a second successful stint with the Club at the beginning of this year, scoring twice in seven appearances while on loan from New York Red Bulls.
Henry has been back in north London in recent weeks but reports suggest that Wenger will not pursue another short-term deal for the 35-year-old.
"I've not lost interest in him," explained Wenger. "He's still coming today [Friday] to practise with us.
"[Our relationship is] very close but, at the moment, I think he has had a second spell at the Club that was very successful. You have to be cautious that it's not one time too many.
"[I have] not completely ruled it out but I haven't spoken about it with him at all."
Wenger has been linked with a number of players ahead of the January transfer window, but he says there is no guarantee of quick signings.
"If possible, yes [we will do our business early]," he said. "But we don't decide that. The pace of the transfer deal is not only decided by us."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Chris Bevilacqua
Chris Bevilacqua is the Founder and CEO of Bevilacqua Media Company (BMC), whose mission is to be a principal investor and strategic advisor for media and entertainment assets. BMC and its investors seek to make investments in these sectors as well as provide management services and oversight capabilities for its partners. BMC is based in New York, N.Y and currently works with professional sports leagues and teams, collegiate conferences and governing bodies as well as marketing and media companies.
Prior to BMC, most recently Bevilacqua served as Chairman and CEO of Creative Artist Agency (CAA) Sports Media Ventures, an affiliate of CAA and Evolution Media Capital (EMC), where he served as a media rights advisor for several sports and entertainment entities including the Pac-12 Conference, International Olympic Committee (IOC), the Tennis Channel, the Big East Conference, the Big XII Conference, Conference USA, the National Hockey League, the Pittsburgh Penguins, San Diego Padres, the University of Missouri and the ION Television Network.
Bevilacqua was the architect of the recent Pac 12 Conference media strategy, including the FOX/ESPN Media Rights Agreement, which is the largest in college sports history, which was then followed by the ground breaking Pac-12 National TV Network and its 6 Regional Sports Networks agreements with Comcast, Time Warner, Cox and Brighthouse Networks. In addition, Bevilacqua constructed last year's Texas Rangers–FOX Media Rights agreement, which is reportedly the largest local TV rights deal in Major League Baseball history.
In 2003, Bevilacqua co-founded CSTV, the first-ever 24-hour cable TV network dedicated to college and amateur sports. His vision and efforts for CSTV led to the acquisition of digital media company, OCSN (Official College Sports Network), which eventually became the industry-leading CSTV.com portal. CSTV was acquired by CBS Corporation in late 2005 for $325 Million and is now known as the CBS Sports Network, which now has nearly 50 million subscribers. Additionally, in 2006, Bevilacqua created the first-ever 24-hour collegiate conference sports network, the MountainWest Sports Network (Mtn), which served as the model for the Big Ten Network, which was launched in 2007.
During the period of 2002-2007, Bevilacqua was also an early investor and advisor to online ticketing pioneer, StubHub, which was sold in 2007 to eBay for $310 million dollars.
From 1994 through 1999 Bevilacqua was the Global Director of Negotiations for Nike sports media, licensing and marketing rights. He played an integral role in helping drive annual sales for the ubiquitous company from $3.5 billion in 1995 to $9 billion in 1998. At Nike, he worked closely with the top teams, coaches, athletic directors and broadcast executives at the NBA, NFL, NHL and NCAA in reaching these deals and he was responsible for striking the landmark deal between Nike and the Dallas Cowboys back in 1995.
Early in his career, Bevilacqua was a senior executive at The Baseball Network where he secured partnerships for the fledgling network with Chevrolet, Anheuser-Busch and MCI WorldCom.
He began his career in the marketing department of NBC Sports where he was instrumental in the network's coverage of the 1998 Olympic Games and where he was awarded an Emmy Award and an Associate Producer for Best Live Special.
Bevilacqua graduated from Penn State University with honors from the Smeal College of Business while also twice being named a wrestling All American (1984 and 1985). He lives in New York City with his wife, Kristen, and their four children, Caleigh, Tess, Lucy and Billy.

Dear fellow users,
I downloaded and installed linux backtrack 5 r3 yesterday. The only way I have to get on the internet at my house is through a US Cellular Air Card, so I was wondering if somebody could help me get all the drivers installed so I can use it for internet support with backtrack 5 r3.
Any help would be appreciated.
