to make something more environmentally-friendly
'The program has greened the zoo's primate exhibit and courtyard by installing rain barrels and cisterns to harvest water runoff from rooftops …'Syracuse New Times 20th April 2011
'Of all the sustainability initiatives, day cleaning is "the biggest bang for the buck; it didn't cost anything," said Marion Coker, manager of strategic business planning and sustainability … The transportation agency said the change, made 20 months ago, had contributed, along with other greening measures, to a 12 percent reduction in energy use.'Columbus Dispatch 10th April 2011
There are many colour words in the English language which we use in extended meanings – consider blue for sadness (She's feeling blue.), white for honesty and innocence (a white lie, a lily-white reputation), and black for a serious or unpleasant perspective (the blackest moment in history) – but among these, the granddaddy of them all has to be the word green. As well as referring to the colour of grass and other vegetation, green can be used to describe envy, inexperience, illness and, from the 20th century onwards, environmental conscience. It's this latter sense, whose rise in frequency has been exponential in recent years, which leaves contemporary dictionary writers scratching their heads in an effort to decide what the 'core' meaning of green really is in the 21st century, since the environmental angle has undoubtedly eclipsed all others. And there's yet more evidence to suggest that this sense's grip on the English language is becoming even firmer, since it recently appears to have converted from adjective to verb.
though the most frequent collocates of the verb green are buildings and manufacturing processes, virtually any concept has the potential to be greened
If you green something, especially a building or any other concept or process which has the potential to consume energy, then you make it more environmentally-friendly. As a transitive verb, green therefore refers to the activity of incorporating eco-friendly products and practices into a particular environment, whether it's a person's home, workplace or general lifestyle. The verb green and related process noun greening thus function as super-ordinate terms for the implementation of a variety of ecological measures, such as recycling, energy efficiency, renewable resources, sustainable development and reducing pollution. Though the most frequent collocates of the verb green are buildings and manufacturing processes, virtually any concept has the potential to be greened. In this article entitled 'Greening your baby from head to toe', new Mums can learn how to green their babycare – from laying their child on organic mattresses through to wiping their little bottom with eco-friendly cleaning products.
Through sheer frequency of use, the adjective green, in its sense of 'protecting the environment', has given birth to a transitive verb green via a process linguists commonly refer to as conversion. Conversion occurs when a word starts to be used in a different part of speech without the addition of any kind of derivational affix, e.g. walk (verb) > walk (noun, Let's take a walk.), compare walk (verb) > walker (noun). One of the most frequently cited contemporary examples of conversion is the word text, which has converted from noun to verb (I texted him.), but there are many others, such as the recent use of friend as a transitive verb in the social networking domain (He friended her on Facebook.).
The usage described above is not however the first time green has occurred as a verb. There's also a verbal sense of green relating to the growth of grass, trees etc which is used both transitively and intransitively and simply means 'to (make something) become green'.
Returning to the environmental sense of adjectival green, there's also now some evidence for the use of brown as a kind of antonym, typically in the phrase brown energy, which has been coined to describe energy produced from polluting sources.

Arsenal striker Robin van Persie has been named the Professional Footballers' Association Player of the Year.
The 28-year-old Holland international has scored 27 Barclays Premier League goals this season for Arsène Wenger's side - his most fruitful campaign for the Club - and was humbled to be recognised by his peers.
"If other people are saying it, it is special, but it is even more special if your opponents are saying it," he told Press Association Sport.
"It is very special because you are playing against them week in week out and every single player does everything to win. In the end, if they make up their minds that I am the best player it is a big honour."
Van Persie may have picked up the top individual honour but he was quick to point out it would not have been possible without his Arsenal team-mates.
"Without them I could not have achieved it," he said.
"For example Theo Walcott, he has given me more than 12 assists and I do really appreciate that."
Van Persie was utilised mainly as a second striker, and occasionally out on the wing, in the early stages of his Gunners career after being signed by Wenger from Feyenoord in 2004.
But he has flourished since switching to the centre-forward role - despite initially not having been convinced he could make the transition.
"Now I am [confident]," he said. "To be fair, when I first went there I wasn't really as confident and I wasn't really sure I could do it. It took a bit of time but after a couple of months a slowly realised I could do a good job there."
The Young Player of the Year award went to Tottenham and England full back Kyle Walker.
The 21-year-old Spurs defender beat the likes of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Sergio Aguero and Danny Welbeck to win the trophy and came as quite a surprise to the former Sheffield United man.
"I was a bit surprised because defenders don't normally get these awards and get the limelight as much as the centre forwards," he said.
"If you look at the people I was in with then it is a great honour to get the award and hopefully there is more to come.
"It is always an honour to be selected by the people you play against and, like I say, hopefully I can get a few more of these and some medals with Tottenham along the way."
Both players were also selected in the Premier League's Team of the Year. Van Persie was the only Arsenal player present whereas Walker was one of three Spurs men, with Scott Parker and Gareth Bale also included.
The PFA Merit award was presented to Preston defender Graham Alexander in recognition of his services to the game, dating back to his debut as a Scunthorpe player in 1991.
The Scotland international went on to play for Luton, Preston and Burnley before returning to Deepdale in 2011 and was humbled with the award of the trophy.
"To get recognition for what you have done in your career at any stage is great," he said.
"I'm coming towards the end of my playing career and I'm privileged to be recognised by the people who I have played against for the last 20-odd years."

Jackson sleigh rides offer treasure trove of chocolates
By MELANIE PLENDA
Special to The Union Leader | November 22. 2012 10:51PM
Horse-drawn sleighs will be a common sight in Jackson when the Jingle Bell Chocolate Tour's sleigh rides get under way Saturday. (Courtesy)
But that's all part of the Jingle Bell Chocolate Tour sleigh rides.
Nestlenook Estate and the Jackson Area Chamber of Commerce will once again host the rides, beginning Saturday and running through Dec. 22. The horse-drawn Austrian sleigh ride takes visitors through the Village of Jackson and offers guests not only a scenic tour of the town but a treasure trove of chocolates.
"It's my favorite time of year, in part because of this event," said Kathleen L. Driscoll, executive director of the Jackson Area Chamber of Commerce. "I have families who say they do it every year, and have been coming for years. I have one family that books two sleighs every year."
As guests arrive at the Nestlenook Estate, they will get a jingle bell, the first of many chocolate confections they'll receive, and a goodie bag to hold any uneaten chocolates.
"Honestly, when they get there, even if it's their first time," Driscoll said, "as soon as you hand them their jingle bell and their little festive bag for their chocolate and you hand them their first chocolate treasure, they get all excited."
Once the passengers are loaded into the sleigh, the tour begins, traveling through Jackson Village with stops at the Inn at Jackson, the Chamber of Commerce, The Wentworth, An Elegant Country Inn, J-Town Deli & Country Store, the Thompson House Eatery, the Snowflake Inn and Flossie's General Store before returning to Nestlenook Estate.
At each stop, guests will ring their jingle bells to will summon the storekeep who'll have chocolate treasures. He or she will tell the guests about the chocolate they are about to enjoy as well as about the business.
"It's just a spectacular event, where people just really and truly enjoy it," Driscoll said.
Tour dates are Nov. 24 and 25, Dec. 1, 2, 8, 15, 16 (1 p.m. and 2 p.m. only) and 22. A book of chocolate recipes will be on sale as will the 2011 Jingle Bell Chocolate Tour Recipe Book.
Tickets are $25 for adults and children. Children 2 and younger, sitting on mom or dad's lap and not receiving Chocolate Treasures, ride free.
The rides are available both through area lodging packages as well as to the general public. Driscoll said the event sells out, so it is important to make reservations early.
For more information and to make reservations, call the Jackson Area Chamber of Commerce at 383-9356, email email@example.com or visit www.jacksonnh.com.

Click for "Microbes After Hours" videos
Protozoa have been found in almost every kind of soil environment from peat bogs to arid desert sands. They teem in the deep sea as well as near the surface of waters, and can be found even in frigid Arctic and Antarctic waters.
Some species of protozoa are part of the normal microbial flora of animals, and live in the guts of insects and mammals, helping to break down complex food particles into simpler molecules. A very small number of species cause disease in people, including Plasmodium vivax, which causes malaria.
The four main subgroups of protozoa are the ciliates, the flagellates, the sarcodina, and the apicomplexans.
The word protozoa means "little animal." They are so named because many species behave like tiny animals—specifically, they hunt and gather other microbes as food.
Protozoa mainly feed on bacteria, but they also eat other protozoa, bits of stuff that has come off of other living things—what's generally called organic matter—and sometimes fungi.
Some protozoa absorb food through their cell membranes. Others, like the amoebas <ah-me-buhs>, surround food and engulf it. Others have openings called mouth pores into which they sweep food.
All protozoa digest their food in stomach-like compartments called vacuoles <vac-you-ohls>. As they chow down, they make and give off nitrogen, which is an element that plants and other higher creatures can use.
Protozoa range in size from 1/5,000 to 1/50 of an inch (5 to 500 µm) in diameter. They can be classified into three general groups based on their shape.
One group is the Ciliates <silly-ates>, which are generally the largest protozoa. They have hair-like projections called cilia <silly-uh> and they eat the other two types of protozoa as well as bacteria. You can just see the thin cilia poking out around the edges of the protozoan in the image to the right.
The second group is the Amoebae <ah-me-bee>, which can be subdivided into the testate amoebae, which have a shell-like covering, and the naked amoebae, which don't have this covering.
Finally, the third group is the Flagellates <flah-geh-lets>, which are generally the smallest of the protozoa and have one or several long, whip-like projections called flagella poking out of their cells.
To hunt, protozoa have to be able to move about. Amoebas ooze about by extending parts of their cells as pseudopods <sue-doh-pods> or "false feet." Amoebae have fluid cell membranes or coverings that they can stretch out, bend and curve. As the membrane moves outward, the fluid and other parts inside the cell follow, flowing into the new bulge created by the moving membrane. Many ciliates swim along by beating their cilia in a rhythmic pattern, like so many tiny oars. Flagellates swim by waving their flagella, using them much like a fish uses its tail push itself through water.
Some protozoa prefer to latch themselves in one place. For example, a ciliate called Vorticella <vor-tih-sell-uh> attaches to a spot on a long, springy stalk. It creates a mini whirlpool around its mouth pore by beating the cilia ringing its bulbous top end so that food particles get sucked in. Whenever anything too big to be eaten hits a Vorticella, it springs back out of the way by by rapidly coiling up its stalk. (To see video clips of Vorticella doing their thing, visit this web page.)
The vast majority of protozoa do us no harm. But, yes, there are a few that cause disease. One type of amoeba can live in human intestines. It feeds on red blood cells and causes a disease known as dysentery <dis-in-tear-ee>. The parasitic protozoan Cryptosporidium parvum <cryp-toe-spore-id-ee-um par-vum> sickened around 400,000 people in Milwaukee in 1993 when it got into the tap water. Perhaps the best-known protozoal menace is Plasmodium <plaz-mo-dee-um>, the parasite that causes malaria. This terrible disease leads to about 800,000 deaths each year worldwide.

Park City • On a bluebird late April evening on a petite baseball field less than a half-mile down the road from Park City High School, a young pitcher winds up and uncorks a pitch toward the plate.
The Wasatch Back still is snowcapped from the winter's boon, and the diamond still is working on its color as hollers fill the air along Kearns Boulevard. The youth league team clad in Park City red runs through drills with the coaches hours after the high school Miners hosted just their second game of the season.
Up the road, Park City coach Lou Green still is steaming behind a smile.
The two-time Major League draftee hates losing, and his Miners just lost their first Region 10 game of the season at home to rival Juan Diego, dropping the upstart squad to 15-6.
"It's a very unique and special experience," said senior pitcher Mark Trevino when asked what it's been like playing for the fiery West Virginian who is in his third season coaching at the school.
It's unique because Green, at the young age of 25, is a baseball perfectionist. He has to know he's the best that particular day, and if his team didn't practice as hard as it could on an off day or he didn't have his guys prepared for a late-game situation, Green doesn't sleep.
"It's knowing how to win, having an understanding of how you win every day and then show up and expect to win," said Green, an imposing 6-foot-5 former right-hander who played in the Angels' organization for three years.
When he took the job in 2010, Green was asked to make a small community best known for churning out world-class Olympic athletes into a baseball town.
The first thought was to create a local minor league program of sorts that would feed the high school program. When Green first arrived, there were three local club teams in Park City comprising 30 kids. Add that with the 25 players competing for the Miners, and there were just 55 kids pitching, fielding and hitting.
Green planted a seed and waited.
And waited.
And waited.
There are 110 baseball players in the Park City youth program along with 25 high school-age players two years later.
"It's good to see the program where it is," Green said. "It makes showing up every day and working your butt off a little easier."
If there is one thing you need to know about Green, it is that he feels hard work is as necessary as oxygen is to breathe or water to drink. Green and his coaching staff, which includes MLB All-Star pitcher and World Series champion Mike Morgan as well as Illinois high school hall of fame coach Bob Mackey, recently ran through 40 hours of youth clinics for kids ages 8 to 14 during the offseason.
"He's made us believe that he's a good coach and made us believe in what he does," senior infielder Tim Leary said.
That's teach baseball, and own an unwavering dedication to his players and a sport he loves.
The Miners had three seniors who saw significant playing time last year coming into this season. The rest? Freshmen, sophomores and a sprinkling of juniors.
Green has sat seniors who he felt didn't trump the hard work or skill of younger players and said keenly, "I'm not here to please parents I'm here to win games."
Leary and senior Cole Tan had to work their way into varsity playing time a year ago as juniors, and both now are shining in their opportunities, both on the mound and in important spots in the lineup.
"Coach knows that the best player should be on the field," Leary said.
But Green had to take himself off the field this year. His spirited and oft-turbulent demeanor coaching third base in his first two seasons got him in trouble. He barked too loudly and too often. He now sits on an upside-down sunflower seed bucket at the edge of the dugout or leans against the fence, shouting instructions.
Being on the field is, as he explained, as if he's back in the mix of it as a player commanding the game from the mound.
"It's highly emotional as players, too," said Trevino, Park City's ace who threw a perfect game in 2012 and committed to the University of Redlands this week.
But it's also working. After going 11-13 in 2011 and 15-12 in 2012, Park City is scoring runs. Lots and lots of runs. The Miners have scored 195 runs in 21 games only 5A Davis and 2A Manti have scored more.
And the Miners do so by playing a concise, disciplined style of baseball.
They single. Sometimes they double, and perhaps a triple every now and then. They single you into submission.
Sophomore catcher Chandler Barkdull hit the team's lone homer, as Green explained, on a small field at Pine View in St. George earlier this season.
"I don't think we've hit the wall more than a handful of times," he said. "We don't play the game like Spanish Fork or Snow Canyon or Juan Diego."
As the eventual influx of youth begins to really infiltrate the program, Green eventually could change the style of play, but the team will ride shotgun with its tenacious coach who saw a challenge in a wintry wonderland and did his best to turn it into a place where the pings of a bat can be heard from Kearns Boulevard.
"I tell my kids every day, 'If you're green, you're growing, if you're ripe, you're rotten,' " he said.
Under Lou Green, the Miners have sprouted into a perennial contender.

VFW: Obama Flag is Not U.S. Flag
The Obama campaign's redesign of the American flag has generated a firestorm of controversy across the nation after the 50 stars were replaced with the president's campaign logo. But experts in American flag etiquette said there's one problem with Obama's American flag – it's not an American flag.
Joe Davis, with the Veterans of Foreign Wars, said it may resemble the flag of the country but "it is not."
"The U.S. Flag today has 50 white stars in a blue field and seven red and six white stripes," he said. "The flag at issue has no stars and only five red and four white stripes."
"As far as the American Legion is concerned, it is not a flag," said John Raughter, the communications director for the American Legion. "It's political art."
And while the Obama flag poster may be considered by some to be in poor taste — it is not in violation of the U.S. Flag Code — because it does not meet the standards of being an American flag.
Obama's version of the American flag is featured in two posters designed by artists Ross Bruggink and Dan Olson and offered for sale on the campaign website.
"Our Stripes: Flag Print" replaces the 50 stars in a blue field with the president's giant "O" campaign logo.
The Obama campaign offered an explanation of the poster early this morning on the social networking site Twitter.
"A poster to say there are no red states or blue states, only the United States," the campaign tweeted.
So if Obama's version of the American flag is not an American flag, what is it?
"It's political art," Raughter told Fox News.
And as such he said it was up to the general public to determine if it was offensive.
And based on comments left on social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook – the overwhelming consensus is it's offensive.
"I don't know why I'm shocked, but I am," wrote one Fox News reader. "This stoops to new lows."
Another reader offered this assessment: "One again, very shameful. This is a disgrace. Just what was wrong with the flag with the stars and stripes? Why must Obama create his own flag?"
"A good number of my family, including me and my twin sons, has served under the flag," another wrote. "This is far beyond insulting. I can't imagine anyone who considers themselves a patriot voting for Obama. Who does he think he is?"
The flag posters are being sold for $35 – along with Obama yoga pants, Obama martini glasses and coffee mugs emblazoned with his birth certificate.

Blog ››› ››› MEDIA MATTERS STAFF
In his October 16 column in The Washington Examiner, James Carafano claimed that in his private journal, "Reagan expressed what it took to deal with the mullahs of Iran -- and playing nice was not it" before going on to attack President Obama over his record on Iran. This follows Fox guest and former CIA operative Wayne Simmons similarly invoking Reagan on Fox & Friends last week to bash Obama's handling of Iran.
Yet when Reagan was in office, and in the years immediately following, he was implicated in the Iran-Contra scandal, which involved secretly selling weapons to Iran.
From Carafano's column:
"In Tehran, the Iranians arrested an American press man," Ronald Reagan recorded in his presidential diary on Feb. 1, 1987. "Took his passport, accused him of being Zionist spy & threw him in jail. He's a Roman Catholic. I'm ready to kidnap the Khomeini."
In these, his private thoughts, Reagan expressed what it took to deal with the mullahs of Iran -- and playing nice was not it.
Iran has been listed as a state sponsor of terrorism since the mid-1980s. Evidence that Tehran is avidly pursuing nuclear weapons has been piling up since 2002.
And when allied forces brought down Saddam Hussein, the Iranians promptly established a pipeline to funnel powerful improvised explosive devices into Iraq, specifically for killing American soldiers.
Yet, President Obama entered office intent on "engaging" this hateful government. When Green Revolution's cries for freedom echoed in the streets of Tehran, Obama turned a deaf ear. Instead, his administration downplayed Iran's blatant human rights abuses.
The United States needs a new missile defense mantra: comprehensive-and-immediate. Playing nice with Tehran has played out badly for the United States.

'"I'm going to finish up here, and I'm going to kind of cut off my involvements with other things in Buffalo for now," Quinn said Thursday during B. Thomas Golisano's farewell address as the Sabres owner in HSBC Arena. "I have an old expression, that you can nail wings on a pig but you can't make it fly, and I'm tired of trying to make a pig fly. This political community here is so screwed up that I'm tired of it. It's just a joke."'

Hi everyone, I have a problem I hope someone can help me with.
I've just started teaching in China and have very large class sizes (between 55-75) to myself. The students are grade 9 (15/16 years old).
I've been told to teach the students pronunciation; I have been given no lesson plans and am told that the Chinese teachers will teach all the students everything from the textbooks - I'm just there for oral lessons. This is where I have a problem... The students are very good at English (but a little shy) so if I'm not teaching them anything new I'm just going over stuff they already know and they look a little bored. Furthermore, I teach 14 different classes a week, once each, so it's over 700 different pupils each week so I'm finding it near impossible to learn any names and also means that printing out 700 different resources like wordsearches or fill in the blanks each week will probably be frowned on.
I suppose my question is, has anyone else been in this situation and how do I teach so many Chinese pupils, who seem to be very good at English, anything if their pronunciation is already very good and I'm not to teach them anything new until the Chinese teacher has done it first.
Thanks for any suggestions!

President Nicolas Sakozy has pushed through parliament a bill that requires television stations funded by the French government to cease taking advertisements in order to be funded. The president argues removing ads represents a "veritable cultural revolution" that will restore quality to public television which increasingly has to compete with commercial television. The bill also allows the president of France–currently Nicolas Sarkozy– to select the chief of the public broadcasting company. In theory, a public broadcasting company should be independent from political control. Didier Mathus, of the Socialist Party, believes the change is really an attempt by Sarkozy to place public television on a leash during the upcoming 2012 presidential election.
Many years ago when television first appeared there was extensive discussion in American about the importance of having a non-commercial public television station that maintained "quality broadcasting." Unfortunately, with the emergence of hundreds of television stations the issue of quality gets lost because people do have choices. Unfortunately, those choices often result in American Idol programs over serious discussions on public television.
The issue is not ads or no ads. The issue is offering programs that are seen by people. We humans tend all too often to seek the lowest common denominator in television. Such is the human condition.

Looks like Springfield has announced it's happening and some places are already taking pre-orders.
The LGS here has one on display..........it feels very nice. I bet it shoots good too.
Can't wait for the XDm 45 to be available to purchase. Has anyone seen any preliminary pricing?
If it shoots as good as the XDm 9mm that I shot, they are going to have a huge winner on their hands. :smt033
best auto I ever owned, Bar none.
Since this tread started I have shot the .45acp XDm and I like the trigger a lot better on it. It's better than the old XD.:smt033
Good to hear the positives. I just ordered mine today and should get it next week.
I just bought mine a week ago and LOVE it. It's everything I ever wanted in a 45 ACP. It handles great and shoots like a dream. I highly recommend it.
Well, I just picked mine up today and was even there to open it "fresh" out of the box. Now I just have to go to the range and see for myself.
I have a bid on one of these right now on Gunbroker. I'm hoping to replace my duty weapon with it. It's a very nice feeling and well balanced firearm. I hope I win. :mrgreen:
Well, I got some ammo and found some time to go out into the desert in the sagebrush to shoot a little. (That's the only range available. :) ) Here are a couple of targets at 10 yards. This first target is of my first shots out of my new gun...
This next target is my 45 but also my LCP (six rounds) in the top right corner (I was shooting for that corner; because the rest of the target was full :D). Some of the other holes are from previous shooting I did.
I think I was not using enough index finger on the trigger while shooting my 45. I'll need to make some adjustments for next time.
Very good shootin.
Thanks for the advice Bisley. I think I'm also pushing the shot down because I'm anticipating the recoil. I know I've got to work on some techniques.
I just got my XDM 45 about a month and a half ago and I absolutely love it. Feels even better than any of my regular XD's. I've got an XD 40 service in bi-tone, and an XD 40 subcompact, and the XDM 45 is also a bi-tone.

The Canisius College men's and women's swimming and diving teams secured its second straight sweep of Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference rival Niagara on Saturday afternoon at the Oxy Aquatic Center. The Golden Griffin men captured their sixth dual-win in their last seven, defeating the host Purple Eagles, 168.5-72.5. After falling the previous week to No. 19 Gannon, the Griff women bounced back with a 147-96 victory.
"Today's dual was a great team effort," said head coach Scott Vanderzell. "We managed to do all the little things right, showing our continual progress as a team."
With Saturday's victory on the men's side, the Golden Griffins have captured a victory in three of the last four duals between the two teams. The Golden Griffin women have claimed wins in the last two meetings after previously struggling against the Purple Eagles for years.
The Golden Griffin women secured nine first-place honors in the individual events, including a top finish in the 400-yard medley relay. The team of freshmen Clare Battaglia, Alex Doody, and Alicia Wheeler, and junior Kelli Graber opened the dual with a first-place performance in the 400-yard medley relay (4:07.45) with a nine-second lead over second-place Niagara.
Junior Anna Schena gave the Golden Griffins their first individual event of the day in the 1000-yard freestyle (10:58.88) race. Schena also placed first in the 200-yard butterfly (2:15.11) with Wheeler finishing third (2:20.60) in the event.
Following a Purple Eagles' win in the 200-yard freestyle, Graber got the Griffs back on board with a first-place finish (25.61) in the 50-yard freestyle. The junior would place second in the 100-yard freestyle (56.29).
Battaglia boosted her total number of first-place performances this season to 16 with individual victories in both the 200-yard IM (2:14.38) and 200-yard backstroke (2:14.16). She has claimed the top spot in the 200-yard backstroke in four consecutive races.
For the first time this season, senior Annalise Gunn-Taylor recorded her first career individual win in the 200-yard breaststroke (2:37.91).
Sophomore Marissa Oakey continues to build on her season with a first-place mark in the 500-yard freestyle (5:17.59) beating out Doody for second (5:19.12) in under two seconds.
On the diving boards, the Golden Griffins swept both the 1-meter and 3-meter events. Senior Alexa Gigliotti led the Griffs in 1-meter event with a first-place performance (214.28) followed by freshman Audrey Mulhisen in second (213.38) and sophomore Taylor Epstein in third (213.45).
In the 3-meter event, Mulhisen nabbed her fourth top-finish in six duals with a score of 226.88. Rounding out the Griffs' sweep were Gigliotti in second (211.80) and Epstein in third (203.18).
"From start to finish, the women really turned the corner as a team during this dual," said Vanderzell.
The team of seniors Shawn Parkhurst, Tyler Carver, Matt Moessinger, and Mike Disco set the tone for the meet against their neighboring rival with a first-place finish in the 400-yard medley relay (3:33.56). The Golden Griffins occupied three of the top-four slots in the relay race.
In the 1000-yard freestyle race, sophomore Sam Hansen held off a pair of Purple Eagle swimmers for the Griffs' first individual win of the afternoon in a time of 10:05.86.
The Golden Griffins did not allow a Purple Eagle to come in the top-three spots in the 200-yard freestyle by sweeping the event. Freshman Spencer Bray locked in at first (1:46.98) followed by juniors Adam Swift in second (1:50.66) and Corey Petrie in third (1:51.45).
Sophomore Nick Sereday used a lead of six-tenths of a second in the 50-yard freestyle (22.23) to place first for the second time this season.
For the second time on the day, the Griffs completed a sweep of the Purple Eagles. In the 200-yard breaststroke race, Carver (2:13.15), Hansen (2:13.56), and junior Andrew Edbauer (2:18.96) finished in the top-three slots, respectively.
In the diving events, sophomore Eddie Quarantillo was the only Griff to post a score above 200 in the 3-meter event with a mark of 255.45. The sophomore set a career high in the 1-meter event with a score of 284.18, coming within five points of breaking the program record held by Earl Lindsey since the 1994-95 season.
"The men showed up for this meet ready to go," said Vanderzell. "The group of seniors came into the dual knowing this was their last meet versus Niagara, which was evident in the effort."
For the Purple Eagles, this was the second week in a row that they have been swept by a Big Four rival. Previously, the Purple Eagle men were defeated by the Bulls, 147-80, as the women dropped a 139-96 defeat.
The Blue and Gold conclude the regular season at SUNY Fredonia on Saturday, Jan. 26 with the dual set for 11 a.m.

Yes, IMO it's a MSH recast, also... have you seen this one?
It's awesomely accurate and well made, and look, it's a Master Replicas Cast!!!
Read the description:
This is no mystery helmet or kids toy or even a don post , it was cast using my expencive modified/corrected Master Replicas helmet
For Sale is a nice clean cast that needs minimum work to finsh ready for painting
all parts included - these should be seperate from the helmet not cast in one piece like others sell
the range finder can be made to move if you want to
Its made so you can wear it without needing a bodybuilders neck or simply display it or Both extra reinforcement can be added around any electrics and ventilation you might add.
A Inner liner is available very cheaply for these helmets
It needs sanding filling painting etc etc , i have took close up photos so you can see all the detail , i also grey primer the lid so you can see al the details , good or bad, unlike other sellers
the visor hasnt been cut out to give it stenght during shipping
i will include All the extra parts needed except the visor these are widely available, simply search 3mm tinted acrylic and pick your colour ther £2-£3 for a a4 sheet

I have sold props before and have good feedback and lots of happy buyers
I always list to sell and to give bargains and they also reflect the items condition and work needed.
I try to be as honest and accurate as possible
PS: I was kidding of course, just look how people is selling **** and they lie about its origins... It looks like a MSH recast to me?
Ahhh. Thanks, guys. Sadly, I'm still a newbie, and I don't have permission to be in the Cargo Hold. Got a budget to spend and everything! Chomping at the bit. I emailed FettPride and Asok, but so far, no replies. But Christian at MoW has been really helpful. He's gotten half my budget so far! HA!
That ebay buy it now price is actually already higher than Asok FP budget kit, once you look at the shipping added on. Just give the guys a little time they will get back to you.
The FP/budget kit from Asok is clean and crisp and requires very little "clean up"
The ONLY legit stuff on ebay is MOW's. Read threads & use the search function.

New to costumes, not finding much for female armour

New to costumes, not finding much for female armour
It's pretty much a do-it-yourself job for the female stuff if you want it to truly fit right. What material are you looking to use for the armour? How much are you looking to spend? What do you want the final product to look like? Map everything out and plan what and how you are going to do this before you jump into the middle of this; the time spent is well worth it.
Try this: http://mercs.firespray.net/forum/index.php?board=88.0
The Mandalorian Mercs has a section dedicated to female armor. There's a lot to look at! But overall, A'den is right. We females have such different body types which makes making armor interesting. ;) A lot of ladies are using mannequins these days and it works out well. I'm small enough that I just used male plates with a slight modification. Like A'den said, though, we all have such different bodies that there isn't really one size fits all. We do out own thing. ;) Definitely check out the Mercs site and get some ideas together.
Good luck!
We will help you on mandalorianmercs.com goodluck
The thing with Sintas is that in all her reference images and how she's known, she doesn't really wear mandalorian armor or for that matter any armor at all.
Thanks everyone, I've been doinng tons of research. I wasn't really expecting so many options!
I think Talon has plans to make a TOR female Merc kit based on Shae Vizla. I could be wrong though. But I think I read it somewhere.

In that spirit, I want to tell you all a Christmas story that may or may not be true, but I hope that you read it for what it is.
The Journal of a Starwars club member..
December 1st
Dear Journal, today I posted on the boards and read through to see if any one had the armor I desperately need to complete my Mando.. One person had it, but didn't want to sell it to me because I lived too far away. Great... what am I going to do now? I have a event less than a week away.
December 3rd
Dear journal, well I never found anywhere to get the armor so I guess I'll have to go to the event in my TK, but that'll be ok, I'll be the only TK there this time because it's closer to my house.
December 5th.
Argh! I don't want to go to this stupid event today. It's raining outside and we are going to a cancer treatment hospital..Ugh, I really don't want to get sick today. I think I'll bail out. There will be enough people there any way.
December 5th 11:00 AM
Dear Journal.. well I decided to go anyway. I've got my TK loaded in the car, and I'm all set to go, I better leave in a minute. I decided to go because it stopped raining.
December 5th 10:45 PM
Dear journal, well it's probably a good thing that I decided to go because only 3 of us showed up. One of the nurses pulled me a side and told me that the little boy in room 112 bed A has seriously inoperable cancer, but he has a large collection of Bobba , Jango and Storm trooper action figures. I thanked her and went into the room. When I first laid eyes on; I'll call him Thomas, he was pale, listless and didn't move much. When his mother saw me come into the room she caressed Thomas on the forhead and told him that a big surprise came into the room to see him. He turned and looked at me and suddenly the little boy came to life. His eyes sparkled and lit up. he shook my hand with his frail little hand and in a whisper excitedly told me how much he loved me. I was one of his favorite characters and he always wanted to be a storm trooper. I sat beside his bed and we talked about starwars, the Empire and what it was like to be a storm trooper, he beamed all the way through the conversation.
Dear Journal December 6th
It's still quite crappy out, and the rain is really coming down. It's strange but there's a sun break and a beautiful sunbeam shining down on the hospital area which is less than 5 blocks from my house. The nurse I met at the hospital called me a few minutes ago to let me know that my brave little stormtrooper died this morning still talking to his mother about being a stormtrooper when he grows up. I find it sad that I almost didn't go to the event, and sadder still that I didn't take the time to remember why we do what we do.
Dear Journal Decemeber 25th
Merry Christmas Journal, and Merry Christmas my little stormtrooper.
The whole point of this story is that despite arguments on the boards, despite mis-givings, it's so important to remember why we took up this "hobby" in the first place.
Merry Christmas, Feliz Navidad, Happy Quanza, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Winter Solstice, Happy Yule.

"This card came out beautifully. I was able to use the portions of the photos that I wanted as well as enhance several smaller photos to make a bolder statement. The card's paper quality was excellent. One suggestion, I like to write a short note on the back of the cards. Because of the black base color of the card it would be extra nice if Tinyprints offered the purchase of a gold gel pen with the order."
"The cards felt of quality in your hands. They were not only beautiful with a black and white photo, they looked elegant and felt elegant."
"I know I rely on Tinyprints to deliver a quality product on time that is also beautiful. I love that I can edit so much of the card unlike other companies."
"I loved the way the picture took up the whole card with cheerful overprinting of text. In combination with the animated expressions on my grandsons' faces, the text gave the perfect enthusiastic greeting."
"Really loved the easily personalized cards and the envelopes were good quality as well. My order arrived well before the promised date - an added bonus."

Lets win the World Series for Dusty! This might be his last chance.
I think this hurts our postseason chances

Get well soon Dusty! Some things are more important than baseball.
"Okay you guys, pair up in threes!" --Yogi Berra
Well, they need to take the whole thing this year and let him ride off into the sunset with a ring on his finger.
The contents of this post may be disseminated without the express written consent of the Cincinnati Reds or Major League Baseball.
Any type of stroke is serious and needs to be taken in that manner. I will be surprised now if he comes back next season. TeamClark said it best in his post. The grind of the season is hard on a healthy man much less someone who has health issues. Dusty has had good long career as player and manager. I'm sure he is well set financially. The one thing that has eluded him has been getting that ring as a manager. This would the best way for him to retire is go out and win this year for him.
Reds Fan Since 1971
Excellent post. I don't see DB coming back next year.The pressure of managing and the rigors of traveling have taken their toll on Dusty. This "scare" may have been the wake up call that baseball just is not all that important. He has a young son and a family that I'm sure he'd rather be around.
Getting off of planes at 3AM, a train wreck of sleep patterns, answering the same questions everyday to media, trying to win in the big leagues, it just goes on and on. There is a reason that they call it the "grind."
LaRussa was smart enough to go. Leyland will not be far behind. Cox had enough and so did Gaston. Even Francona realized he needed a break. Sometimes it's just not all it's cracked up to be.

I wonder if he is going to be able to manage without any problems. I'm no expert but I know some strokes cause memory loss. Will Dusty be able to function at full capacity if he's suffered memory loss. Even his biggest supporters will agree that he manages more on instinct than relying on the data at hand. If this stroke is going to give him problems with his memory, I think the Reds will have to find a new manager.
It's interesting that he had a stroke on Friday yet they were OK releasing him on Sunday morning.

I think it may be better that it's not getting more attention. Dusty certainly deserves national respect, but maybe less attention on it will be less stressful to him.
Also, perhaps it will make it less of a distraction for the team.
Maybe this time it is good to be the "small market"

Ladder bar adjustments
has anyone here adjusted their ladder bars with reference to the four corner weights of the car? if so did you preload the right rear any? How much preload is acceptable and why do alot of racers run preload even if the car weights are equal across the back?
What I am looking for here is why not just run it equal from one side to the other?
When I raced on the dirt ( Late Model Sportsman ) .....we would weigh all 4 corners and adjust.
Your question has not gotten any responses in almost two days.........I guess because most drag racers ( at least around here ) ....run 4 link suspension.
I suggest just trying your combination and seeing what works BEST for you.....
Pre-load is sometimes something that is mis used. However there is reason to use it on certain applications.
Standing at the back of the car, veiwing the rear axle, on launch the rear axle wants to lift the right wheel into the wheel well from the forces of torque. A high powered big block combination that makes say 650lbft of TQ probably rolls out around 4500lbft by the time it hits the tires due to the multiplication of the gears in the trans and axle. So in the case of an overpowered combination a small amount of pre-load can help manage this action. Pre-load is sometimes a bandaid fix for something out of whack. Excess pre-load can cause a dangerous situation at the finishline when the brakes are applied because the forces are opposite.
To answer your question specifically would require more input, but in most cases ladder bar cars need little if any pre-load. The farther apart the bars are the less needed. Same applies to HP, as more power maybe a lil pre-load to manage launch. We used to set our pre-load needs with the drivers side adjuster...make it longer and only turn the adjuster 1 flat on the nut at a time and test from there. Just cranking away by guessing or even using corner weights never really got it done. On my last combo I used 2 flats from neutral and launched straight as a string every pass, any track. That was a 477 BBC w/14.25:1 pistons, .714 roller, Dart/Merlins, and a Turbo 400 w/5500 stall and a brake...this was in a 72 Camaro with 10.5x29.5 tires and a 4.88 gear. At 3545# the car had a best 60' of 1.40 and a best run of 10.30 @132mph.
I hope this was helpful.
which side of the rear... left or right weighed the most when you added your preload? and why did you do it thagt way?
Also what other info would you need? I have all the stats on my car.
Well like I said I didn't use corner weights. If I had then the right rear weighed the most when done. I never weighed that car by corner just front and rear. Why did I do what I did? I was at the track shakin down the new set-up and susp. The car left a little to the right indicating that on launch it had too much weight on the left rear tire. Does that make sense? If you read back about how the rear axle behaves on launch it will. So why adjust the left bar adjuster? By making the lower link on the left longer (about 1/16th in my case) it added just enough compensation to the right side tire to allow it to leave dead straight every pass.
Ladder bars are very violent and simple suspension components. They can take a major hit and still plant tires real hard as needed. I guess I need to mention that this was used with coilovers and a diagonal link. As heavy as the car was it only needed 110# coils in the rear due to placement and spring pre-load. There's a lil science and theory to that as well but maybe another subject.
As far as input, is your car behaving in a certain manner? Is the ride hgt where you want it? Coilovers are assumed. What spring? Did you weigh the car as you would be at the line ready for launch (I.E. you sitting in the drivers seat and fueled to a similar wt)? Lots of TQ? Auto trans? What convertor stall? Using a trans brake?
I've been under way more than my share of drag cars both in the shop and in the gravel in the pits. I'll be happy to help out any way I can.
My car was pulling the back end to the right during a burn out. Launches are violent. Zero Traction. I had to peddle the car for the first 100 ft. 60 ft times vary from 1.30--1.55 1/8th mile is anywhere from 5.60- 6.05
Ride height is good, coilovers yes double adjustable. 110 lb springs.
Transbrake yes, stall @ 4500 rpm shift at 6500 rpm; Auto trans 2 speed powerglide. 3 degree pinion angle ( old slicks, 14X 32 goodyears, lots of check hole left but I think they are shot anyway ) new ones ordered.
Race ready weight..fuel and me...
After movin right rear bar 5 1/2 flats ( havent tried this setting yet )
LR 645 RR 657 R 1302 total 2843
What do you think? Oh I just stuck some wheelie bars on it too, but I weighed it with them on it.
Just wanting to get some input from someone eles who knows this stuff. I'm not a rookie by any means but it always helps to have a second "eye" on a problem.
Thanks a bunch, You've already helped. I just got these scales, before that I always had to do it like you did yours.
bump to the top
That LF wt has me scratchin my head...slicks are moot right now. A real hot burnout or VHT would be a "fix" til you sort it out. You moved the right bar...made it shorter by looks of things. I assume the wheelbase is right on the money.
Still, LF makes it look like a handful at the other end (on paper at least). Once you get the new boots on it any mis-adjustment will show up big. Sounds like a fun car. Pinion angle looks good to me.
I'm throwin in wrinkle here...Your bars, are they up, down, or level at ride ht standing still? Heres the reasoning...Look at the bar as a lever arm and picture the arc of the rear axle as it travels say 10deg up, then 10deg down from dead level (a pencil on a flat surface helps the visual here). So if the bars are level, on launch the wheelbase wants to "shorten", and this is exagerated if the bars are in the up position before launch.
If the bars are down from level at ride ht ready to launch, On launch the wheelbase wants to "lengthen" and thereby softening the hit just enough to do the work of planting the tires. How much does it lengthen? On my car, bars down 1 hole from level, raising the car (bars) to level from the ladderbar Xmember, my wheelbase extended just under 1/2".
So what? So then the car is, in a sense, moving forward before it rolls forward, while the bars are doing their job planting the tires. Vehicle reaction time improves. Launch seems less suitable for hollywood action flicks but remains consistant. Since the tire cant go "down" on launch the body comes "up" changing the level of the forward mount on the ladder bar.
Bars up=hard hit, violent launch, bar tries to shorten W.B.
Bars down=softer hit, less violence, bar wants to lengthen W.B.
Try the pencil thing. The point is your mounting bolt. The eraser the axle center. At level length "x". Up or down length "y". Launch at "y" with point down, you end up at "x". Launch at "y" point up you bind or go "shorter". Something to schmooze on in your head. Hope it helps.
They are straight, anotherwords level with the ground. On the bottom hole, can't go any further down, just three up.
What makes you think it'll be a handful on the other end? the left front weights?
The driveshaft torque, on any car that doesn't have an independent rear suspension, tends to unload the right rear (and, of course, load the left rear) during acceleration. For best tire performance, you want those rear tires equally loaded and static preload is one way to do it.
Suppose, just to have some numbers to work with, your car weighs 3000, the rear track is 62 inches, the axle ratio is 4.11, and the effective rear tire radius is 13.5 inches. Now, suppose you're launching at 1.5 g's. The difference in rear tire loading, due to driveshaft torque alone, would be:
(3000)(1.5)(13.5)/(4.11)(62) or 238 pounds.
In other words, the load on the left rear would be 238 pounds more than that on the right rear. But, fortunately, it isn't as bad as all that, for a portion of the reaction torque, acting through the engine and transmission mounts, shows up at the rear to cancel some of the driveshaft torque. This reaction torque is distributed, front-to-rear, in proportion to the relative roll stiffness. Suppose 60% of the total roll stiffness is at the front suspension. That means:
(0.60)(238) or 143 pounds
of imbalance remains to be "fixed" with static preload. You can tighten the coilovers at the left front and/or the right rear until the right rear weighs 143 pounds more than the left rear. Then, as the car launches, the loadings will be equal.
But, some of these numbers are pretty shaky, specifically the acceleration and roll stiffness percentages, so this just gives you a rough idea of the magnitude of static preload that is necessary.
And, if you do use static preload, it's important that the ladder bar adjustments be the same, side-to-side. In other words, you either do it with ladder bar adjustments or you do it with preload, but not with both at once. Which, then? Well, even with the shaky estimates used in the calculation, I'd go with the static preload.
Don't worry about the inequalities during braking. When your 250 pound mother-in-law sits directly behind you, so she can yell in your ear as you drive, the inequalities are equal or greater. So long as you don't lock up the wheels, braking torques remain equal.
Finally, there are ways to dynamically cancel driveshaft torque, so the static loads can be equal, but I don't want to go into these other ways here.
JS, yes the difference of 186lbs lft to rt on the front when sitting static. Billy has a point somewhat about the braking torques, just that at high speeds and instantanious braking it looks (like I said...on paper) as though it could pull left a bit on the initial hit of the brakes.
While I don't totally agree with Billy about his numbers, the point about reaction of the driveline remains the same. Actual TQ is multiplied through the convertor, 1st gear, rear axle ratio, then divided by 2 and multiplied by the tire radius in excess of 12inches. Putting it simply your 600lbft of TQ turns into around 4500-5000lbft at the ground. That's a lot of "work".
I do these power calculations on my snowmobiles. I disagree with track dynos that say a 160 HP combination has only 80HP on the snow. Converting HP back to TQ says different. You can't launch 750lbs of sled and rider skis up from zero to 100mph in 500ft on 80HP. Logic tells us what were doing here on both examples.
Though it's a little dated, I suggest a copy of a book by Dave Morgan titled "Doorslammers". The information is very valuable in helping sort out chassis combinations. The book is like $30. I haven't looked at mine in years, and my scanner is malfunctioned at the moment or I'd scan some sample info and pics.
Did we get off topic a bit? I still stand by my way of initiating pre-load. The bars are the levers doing the work. The shocks and springs do support and damping. IMO shocks and springs should always strive to be equal.
Last note...if the car was level at the rockers would the bars be up or down? How do they relate to the car's "level" profile?
the rockers are level with the ground, the bars are maybe 2 degrees down from the rockers. Also I have a copy of Dave's book. Good book definately.
Drag cars don't use the engine and it's applied torques to slow down. So the forces aren't the opposite reaction of acceleration.
"And, don't forget the roundy-round boys preload with the springs all the time. No reason it can't be done in a straight line."
I'll try not to rant here...roundy-round cars are night and day different. They ask for a completely different dynamic action than drag cars because it's a straight line. We want launch control and firm handling down the track. Pre-loading springs for control causes ill handling at speeds and braking. The ONLY exception being shocks as they're dampers. They can be made to dampen the same in one direction and different in the other if they're double adjustables. Pre-load by virtue of the bar adds work force when needed (launch) and control when needed (down track and braking) without unwanted forces after launch.
JS...Look into the deal Dave says about lighter springs and "stored energy". Consider everything we've been discussing, and if possible have someone knowledgable watch your car launch and take notes. Remember, longer on the drivers side (lower ladder bar adjuster) adds static wt on the pass side. The opposite is also true. Don't cloud the issue with "instant centers". The instant center is the forward mount. The bars are the levers. The levers plant the tires and when right will not allow the car to sag at all on launch. in fact the top of the tire should be nearly visable on launch depending on how low the car sits. It also sounds like they're in the right position to get the lengthening force I was talking about earlier.
Billy...I don't disagree on G forces, maybe you're even a little low. And I came up with roughly 140HP in my sled example based on observed times/speeds. So we're there.
JS...lookin forward to hearin how the car's doin. You never said what it was, did you?

Talent Whispering.
By Peter Weddle for
With all of the talk these days about social recruiting, you'd think there would be a good understanding of how best to communicate with high caliber prospects online. The low yields now being reported from such interactions, however, indicate that much of our messaging isn't having its intended impact. That's why we need to adopt the art of talent whispering.
High caliber prospects are almost always employed and too busy to consider a new job. In fact, a recent survey of employed workers by a popular job board found that just 21 percent of the respondents expected to make a move in the next one to two years. That's far below the historical norm for this stage in a recovery.
No less important, top prospects receive so many communications from
, they often see such messages as spam. They do glance briefly at these emails, but then, more often than not, they hit the delete button and forget about them.
As a healthcare recruiter, how can you ensure that your communications are better received? Change the nature of the experience they provide.
Instead of communicating as a recruiter reaching out to a prospective new hire, transform the experience of reading your message into that of one colleague talking to another. Make your prospects feel as if both of you are coworkers.
Why? Because top talent listened to their mother. What was the first lesson your mother taught you?
Don't speak to strangers
, right? Top prospects aren't going to trust something as important as a change in their career to someone whose message— no matter how politely expressed—has the feel of a business transaction with a faceless buyer of talent.
On the other hand, a top prospect will read and respond to a message from a recruiter, if the recruiter is seen as a "virtual colleague"—a person the prospect may not know but at least can trust. The recruiter isn't considered a stranger because the message experience convinces the prospect that the recruiter has the prospect's best interests at heart. And, the best way to develop such an experience is by whispering.
Message like a virtual colleague.
Talent whispering uses online messages to create a conversation between virtual colleagues. It avoids organizational and transactional terms—the most notorious being "Requirements" and "Responsibilities"—and instead has an informal feel that describes an opening as it might be discussed by two professionals talking to one another.
Such conversations typically answer the following five questions about
the advantages the job offers to whoever takes it:
What will they get to do?
What will they get to learn?
What will they get to accomplish?
With whom will they get to work?
How will they be recognized and rewarded?
Since colleagues don't (usually) talk at one another, however, you should also use a second technique to encourage the prospect to feel as if both of you are actually engaged in a collegial conversation. As each question is answered in your message, subliminally hand the conversation back to them by asking a question.
For example, after explaining that an opening offers them the opportunity to work with acknowledged leaders in their field, you might insert the following in your message:
Would your healthcare career benefit from teaming up with some of the top performers in your profession?
Such a question preserves the conversational tone of the message and helps to keep the prospect engaged.
Talent whispering changes the paradigm of online messaging to top talent. It transforms the experience from a transactional interaction between strangers to a supportive conversation among colleagues. That creates more interest and engagement among your prospects and ultimately more applications to your openings.

Although firing a few cruise missiles at Syria would not put much of a dent in the defense budget, Concord Coalition Executive Director Robert L. Bixby said in an interview with Bloomberg BNA that the issue could lead members of Congress to reconsider sequestration.
"Going to the public and saying, 'We're authorizing military action, and by the way we're cutting the military budget or we're going to shut down the government,' is a very inconsistent message," Bixby said.
The Bloomberg story, "Military Strikes Against Syria Could Restart Sequester Debate," noted that a Pentagon estimate that preventing the use or proliferation of chemical weapons in Syria could average more than $1 billion a month. The story by Cheryl Bolen, BNA's White House reporter, also said Tomahawk cruise missiles cost about $1.4 million each.
The Syrian issue could "provide an opening for a discussion about sequester," Bixby said. Both Democrats and Republicans have expressed concern about these "automatic" cuts, with Republicans particularly worried about the possible impact on the U.S. military.
Concord supports a broad, comprehensive budget agreement, but Bixby told BNA the sequester issue would not necessarily have to be resolved by elected officials through such an agreement. "They could do what they always do and find a few dollars here and there and kick the can down the road," he said.

Bwah! I can imagine the tragedy of that. I have accidentally glued my fingers together with super glue. No good.
Don't make a superlong text-heavy zine with no page numbers. It'll hurt your brain trying to put it together!
If you've made a wicked sweet zine try not to jizz or secrete over the pages as they'll stick together.
