FAIRFIELD, Conn. - Senior Samantha Good (Rochester, N.Y.) received All-MAAC First-Team honors while senior Allyson Severyn (Lancaster, N.Y.) received All-MAAC Second-Team honors at the postseason awards banquet held on the campus of Fairfield University on Friday night. Good becomes the first player in program history to earn All-MAAC First-Team honors twice in her career while Severyn is named to the All-MAAC Second Team for the second time in her career.
Good, an All-MAAC First-Team selection in 2010 when she earned MAAC Offensive Player of the Year accolades, led the MAAC with a .369 attack percentage in conference play, which was the highest by a Golden Griffin since Mary Boller (.372) in 2006 and highest by a MAAC player since Katie Mann hit .392 in 2009. Good averaged a team-best 2.57 kills per set during her senior season and also led the MAAC with a 1.07 blocks per set average in conference play. A two-time MAAC Player of the Week, Good posted the highest attack percentage by a MAAC player in a match this season when she hit .667 against Saint Peter's on Nov. 4.
an All-MAAC Second-Team selection in 2010 when she earned MAAC Libero of the
Year accolades, earned MAAC Libero of the Week honors a league-best four times
this season. Severyn ranks second in the MAAC and 14th nationally with
a 5.69 digs per set average. The 5-foot-7 libero posted double-digit digs in
all 28 matches this season and has a service reception percentage over 93
percent in 25 of the 28 matches. Severyn is the program's all-time leader and
the MAAC active leader in digs (2,257) and needs 26 digs to break her own
Canisius single-season record for digs.
Four Griffs were named to the MAAC All-Academic Team. Severyn received the honor for the third time in her career while juniors Emily Elek, Sydney Palka and Jessica Warner also received the award.
The No. 3 seed Canisius volleyball team plays No. 2 Siena College in the semifinals of the MAAC Championship on Saturday afternoon. Match time at Alumni Hall is set for 2 p.m. Fans who will not be at Fairfield University can watch the entire MAAC Championship live on MAAC.TV.

Before every Arsenal fixture, we'll bring you a Scouting Report on the Gunners' next opponents.
Arsène Wenger and his players welcome Schalke to Emirates Stadium on Wednesday so, to find out more, we asked tactical expert Michael Cox and German journalist Ulli Bruenger for their views.
Huub Stevens has created a cohesive, well-balanced unit in his second spell at Schalke; a solid, disciplined spine is complemented by a creative threat from wide.
He favours a 4-2-3-1 formation but can alter the shape with a small tweak, while he has also found the right balance between the familiarity of a consistent starting XI and a squad rotation system to keep his players fresh.
From this season's two Champions League matchdays, only Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Manchester United and Arsenal have a higher pass completion rate than Schalke. Their good ball retention starts at the back - centre backs Joel Matip and Kyriakos Papadopoulos were both blooded as holding midfielders and, while competent defenders, their assured passing quality is still a key feature.
Stevens usually prefers a double pivot in the centre of the pitch, with Roman Neustädter alongside Jermaine Jones. However, this can change - in the recent 2-0 defeat to Bayern Munich, for example, Jones was pushed further up to close down the opposition's midfielders and Neustädter became the sole holding midfielder in a 4-1-4-1.
Stevens has tremendous options on the flanks. Jefferson Farfan, a quick old-fashioned dribbler, is likely to start on the right, but on the opposite wing Stevens could use various players. Youngster Julian Draxler is a tricky winger, Swiss international Tranquilo Barnetta likes to drift inside to the centre of the pitch, while Barcelona loanee Ibrahim Afellay is somewhere in-between.
Up front, Huntelaar proved himself a quality striker with 47 goals in 48 games last season - he's a consistent poacher but also clever with his movement and link-up play. In Schalke's previous Champions League match against Montpellier, Stevens used Teemu Pukki as a second striker, but this remains a surprise alternative system - against Arsenal, he'll want to get numbers into the centre of midfield.
Schalke will come into the game full of confidence after beating their main rivals Dortmund in Saturday's derby. It was a massive result for both the fans and the players. They've started the Bundesliga season well and will be hopeful of picking up at least a point against Arsenal. They will probably try and keep it tight early on, and then grow more attacking as the game progresses.
Klaas-Jan Huntelaar is the lone striker, though he is supported by Jefferson Farfan and Ibrahim Afellay from out wide. They usually play with two defensive midfielders, though both Marco Hoger and Roman Neustadter are still fairly inexperienced when it comes to European football.
Schalke's strength is undoubtedly their attack. Huntelaar is a prolific striker and Afellay and Farfan are quick, skilful and excellent when in a one-on-one situation.
The right back Atsuto Uchida is good offensively. He can cross well. Defensively though, he is still young and learning so can sometimes make positional errors.
I think there will be goals in this game. I can see it being 2-2.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

Man, oh man! I just couldn't help whoopin' and hollerin' when they started talking about this during the race today. As Earl would say, it's cause of the karma -- it finally caught up with ol' Kurt!
Roush suspends Busch for final two races of '05
By Mark Spoor, NASCAR.COM
November 13, 2005
AVONDALE, Ariz. -- Roush Racing on Sunday suspended Kurt Busch for the remainder of the 2005 season after the defending Nextel Cup champion was cited Friday evening for reckless driving.
Kenny Wallace will drive the No. 97 Ford in Sunday's Checker Auto Parts 500. A decision has not been made on who will drive the car next in the season finale at Homestead on Nov. 20.
"This suspension is made after full review of all the circumstances surrounding Kurt's Friday night altercation with the Arizona police, and after consultation with our primary sponsors, Newell-Rubbermaid and Diageo [the parent company of Crown Royal]," team owner Jack Roush said.
"All parties are in complete support that the action being taken [Sunday] is necessary and appropriate under the circumstances," he said. "We felt that he was far enough out of line that it was a breech of his contract with me and that put me into breech with the contracts with my sponsors so we had to take action to alleviate the damage that was done in that relationship."
Busch was stopped Friday night after trying to avoid another car and running a stop sign about two miles from Phoenix International Raceway.
"As a result of the roadside investigation the deputy did take Mr. Busch into custody for suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol," Lt. Paul Chagolla, a Maricopa County sheriff's spokesman, told The Associated Press on Saturday.
Not only was Busch partially sponsored by Crown Royal this year, but he is to drive the No. 2 Dodge, sponsored by Miller Lite, next season with Penske Racing.
NASCAR's released a statement saying that Busch would not face any punishment from the sanctioning body: "NASCAR fully supports Jack Roush's decision to replace Kurt Busch in the No. 97 Ford for the remainder of the season. Based on the facts that are known today, no actions by NASCAR are necessary."
Roush said the decision to suspend Busch came after the team spoke with the arresting officer and the team's sponsors.
"Roush Racing is embarrassed. The sponsors are embarrassed," Roush said. "This really cuts it. We're embarrassed for all of the NASCAR community."
Roush Racing president Geoff Smith had a similar take.
"It's the last straw for Roush Racing," Smith said. "We're officially retiring as Kurt Busch's apologists effective [Sunday]."
Busch apologized for the incident Saturday night before the suspension was announced.
"I regret the incident that occurred near the Phoenix International Raceway Friday evening where I received a traffic citation," Busch said in a statement. "It is important to understand that this citation is not alcohol related. I want to apologize to the Maricopa County Sheriff's department for my actions."
Busch has had myriad problems on and off the racetrack throughout his career with Roush Racing. At Darlington in May, Busch did not go where he was told following a crash and responded with an expletive-laden tirade on his radio that was directed at NASCAR officials. He also threw a water bottle that hit a NASCAR official in his pit.
Busch is eighth in the Nextel Cup standings, 281 points behind leader Tony Stewart. Under the rules of the Chase for the Nextel Cup, the worst Busch will finish in the final point standings is 10th.
Smith said it would be unlikely that Busch could drive for another team during the final two races to improve that position.
"He doesn't have the right to run for other teams without our permission," Smith said, "which would be extremely, reluctantly granted at this point."
Roger Penske, who will be Busch's boss beginning next season, said nothing has changed as far as his team's relationship with the defending Cup champion.
"This situation is unfortunate for high-profile athletes who are under significant scrutiny," Penske said. "We support him 100 percent for the future and we will work with him to be a great driver."
Wallace said he got the call to jump behind the wheel of the No. 97 Ford about 11:30 a.m. ET Sunday, as he was on the air on SPEED's NASCAR This Morning.
"Jack Roush has been a friend to me throughout my whole career," Wallace said. "And he just called me up and he said, 'Hey, can you drive the 97 car?' and when I got my composure, I was like, 'Yeah, no problem.'
But Wallace said he agreed with a heavy heart.
"I feel bad for everybody in this whole situation," Wallace said. "I'm a professional and we're going to go out there and race. There's nothing like starting a race cold turkey, but we've done it a lot and we'll be OK."
Busch qualified 17th for Sunday's race, but due to the driver change, Wallace will start from the rear of the field.
"We're gonna race, make sure we stay on the lead lap," Wallace said. "I just need like five laps to get the feel of the car and we'll just go after it. I'm prepared and ready to go."
In typical Wallace fashion, he found the humor in Sunday's unusual situation.
"We've got a Miller helmet with tape all over it. We've got a National Guard uniform," Wallace said. "I'm the same size as Kurt, but I've got a 42-year-old midsection, but it doesn't slow me up.
"We tried hard to get the Irwin uniform to fit me, but that kid, he's just really skinny."

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
It's a crowd source funding place, you can present your case for needing funds to complete a project, they have a zines category and an art category. Money needed can be as low as $200, and if you don't get enough pledged then no money is transferred.
I've been considering it for a while but don't have my act in gear yet to get everything together for the printer, so haven't taken the first step on this.
Just wondering what others' experiences are with using the site. I know there's also another similar site that's now up and running since spring of this year, Indiegogo?
Views: 193
We did one very early on when kickstarter was new and novel- we barely made our goal of $2500 which kept us printing for a year. It seems like it's a lot harder for small campaigns to succeed- now they mostly promote the really big ones.
The key is promoting the HELL out of it- you really need to guilt your friends into donating, or it won't work. Kinda sucks that way.
I have supported a few kickstarters
The ones that seem to do the best are like this one, (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/433544158/year-one) where most of the folks who supported it basically PRE-ORDERED the finished product.
It also did not hurt that Ramsey is a veteran ziner with a good contact list from years of zining and running the Chicago zine fest.
Most of the support will most likely come from your own personal network.
If anyone is thinking about doing this, make sure you stay in contact with your supporters especially if your project will take a while to complete. There is nothing worse then not hearing from a Kickstarter after they have taken your money.
As far as running your own campaign, they are all or nothing, so make sure you do not ask for more then you need and remember that kickstarter takes 5% and amazon also takes 5%, plus you have the expenses of fufilling all of your rewards.
Kickstarters are a lot of work, so do not think that we are going to spend an hour setting it up then sit back and wait for the money to roll in. Less than half kickstarters meet the minimum goal.
And make sure you have a video
I think like Ricardo says if you don't have some campaign behind you mainly use it to bug the hell out of your friends for donations. We tried (and failed) to do one a while ago for a 500 print run bimonthly, and those that pledged to donate would have done so if we'd approached them in the street, probably. It's easier to have a donate button on your web page I think.
That's...... dissapointing to hear.
I am doing a campaign on Indiegogo right now. It is for the expansion of the distro and paying for hosting for a year, which doesn't fit very well with Kickstarter's rules-- or I would have gone with Kickstarter.
Indiegogo requires a minimum goal of $500 which I don't get. I wanted to go with something lower-- and more achievable for my small distro. It sort of makes it look like I can't ever reach my goal :)
I have liked Indiegogo in general-- but my only contributers I think have been folks I know. People aren't finding my campaign or contributing when they "browse" Indiegogo. I think Kickstarter is better for that but I'm not sure.

Division of Counseling and Psychology
Dr. Jared Kass has been a member of the Lesley University faculty since 1976. His clinical work and research focus on the prevention and treatment of health-risk behaviors that harm self and others. His multi-decade research program (Study Project on Well-Being) has developed, and is currently testing, a curriculum for university students (and other young adults) that strengthens psychological resilience, promotes inclusive communities, and facilitates health-promoting and pro-social behaviors, through social-emotional skill-building and psychospiritual growth.
Dr. Kass has published numerous research papers and book chapters. He is the author of The Inventory of Positive Psychological Attitudes (IPPA), an assessment tool which measures a resilient worldview. The IPPA is currently used in a college health textbook and many research projects in positive psychology and community psychology.
Dr. Kass is also the author of The Index of Core Spiritual Experience (INSPIRIT), an assessment tool that measures experiences commonly reported during mindfulness practice and meditation. The INSPIRIT has been reviewed favorably in many textbooks on the Psychology of Religion and Spirituality. It has been used internationally in research measuring the impact of contemplative practice on well-being; and has been translated into Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, and Chinese.
Dr. Kass worked closely with Dr. Carl Rogers, as a staff member of the Person-Centered Approach Project (1975-1979). This project was formative in Dr. Kass' clinical work and teaching, highlighting the importance of empathic attunement and reflective listening in the formation of a therapeutic alliance. Rogers' capacity to respect and value the dignity of individuals, irrespective of social status or behavioral history, was figural in his ability to facilitate therapeutic change. Dr. Kass describes himself "constantly striving to implement these same interpersonal conditions" in his work with clients and students.
Recent developments in attachment theory and sensorimotor approaches to the clinical treatment of trauma, Dr. Kass explains in his classes, are consistent with Rogers' emphasis on empathic attunement. These psychodynamic and humanistic approaches, when integrated, teach clinicians to develop right-brain, somatic awareness of a client's inner emotions—helping clients explore unexamined feelings, thoughts, and experiences—gradually developing the capacity for securely attached relationships.
Dr. Kass concretizes therapeutic learning through cognitive-behavioral approaches to psychotherapy that include mindfulness, elicitation of the relaxation response, emotional self-regulation through affect tolerance, behavioral self-monitoring, and cognitive reframing. He refined these skills through study with Dr. Joan Borysenko, Director of Mind-Body Programs at Beth Israel Hospital in Boston, under the supervision of the cardiologist, Dr. Herbert Benson (1985-1986).
This training led to fruitful collaboration with Dr. Herbert Benson (1987-1991), leading mind-body stress reduction groups and validating the inventory of Positive Psychological Attitudes to Life (IPPA) and the Index of Core Spiritual Experience (INSPIRIT), supported by generous grant support from Mr. Laurance Rockefeller.
Dr. Kass has been deeply influenced by feminist psychology and the civil rights movements. The social justice orientation of Dr. Jean Baker Miller, Dr. Derald Wing Sue, and Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., have been instrumental in explaining the psychology of social dominance and subordination—both its negative effects on society, and the need for a critical psychology that incorporates these sociocultural perspectives in treatment programs, prevention philosophy, and social justice advocacy.
Dr. Kass has served as an Associate of the Higher Education Center for Alcohol, Drug, and Violence Prevention, US Department of Education.
He was a Senior Scholar in Psychology on a panel sponsored by the University of Notre Dame and the University of New Mexico. This panel produced a book, Judeo-Christian Perspectives on Psychology: Human Nature, Motivation and Change, published by the American Psychological Association, and edited by Drs. William Miller and Harold Delaney. Dr. Kass' chapter was entitled, Emerging Models of Spiritual Development: A Foundation for Mature, Moral, and Health-Promoting Behavior.
Dr. Kass has served as a Fellow of the Center for Contemplative Mind in Society, funded by the Fetzer Institute; and received a grant from the Templeton Foundation to conduct research and write a book (in process) on the process of spiritual maturation. Recently, he presented some of his research findings at an International Symposium on Contemplative Studies, sponsored by the Mind-Life Institute.
In addition, Dr. Kass served for a decade as Coordinator of the Boston Clergy and Religious Leaders Group for Interfaith Dialogue, a community-based program for developing understanding and cooperation among the faith communities in the Greater Boston area.
Dr. Kass is a member of the Association for Contemplative Mind in Higher Education, the American Mental Health Counselors Association, the Massachusetts Mental Health Counselors Association, the American Psychological Association, and the Phi Beta Kappa Society.
Dr. Kass coordinates the Holistic Studies specialization in the Division of Counseling and Psychology.

Teen Pot Use May Lower IQ in the Future
Teens and pre-teens may be puffing on cigarettes less, but they are inhaling pot a lot more. Adolescent marijuana use has increased in the last decade and that's not good according to a new study that suggests teens that smoke pot may suffer a considerable decline in IQ that lasts into adulthood.
In a New Zealand study, more than 1,000 adolescents who began smoking marijuana before age 18, showed an 8 point drop in IQ between the ages of 13 and 38. The average IQ is 100 points. A drop of eight points represents a fall from the 50th percentile to the 29th percentile in terms of intelligence.
As a part of the study, IQ tests were performed at age 7,9,11 and 13, most likely before any marijuana use then again at age 38. The decline in IQ was seen only in the participants who began using marijuana regularly before the age of 18.
Family members and close friends were also asked to complete questionnaires about the 38 year-olds. The questions pertained to any trouble they might have noticed about the participant's ability to stay focused, any memory loss or the ability to function socially.
The eight-point drop was noted in the subjects that were habitual users smoking marijuana at least four days per week. People who started smoking in adolescence but smoked less often still had a hit in their IQ's, but it was less pronounced than the group that used it early and persistently.
On the other hand, kids who never smoked marijuana actually gained one IQ point on average.
Madeline Meier, lead researcher and a post-doctoral associate at Duke University, said that persistent use of marijuana in adolescence appeared to blunt intelligence, attention and memory. More persistent marijuana use was associated with greater cognitive decline.
Collectively, these findings are consistent with speculation that cannabis use in adolescence, when the brain is undergoing critical development, may have neurotoxic effects, Meier writes in the study.
Adverse effects and some neurological effects persisted into adulthood for the children who smoked pot on a regular basis before the age of 18.
Why does marijuana use effect adolescents more than adults? Experts in child development said the reasons could have to do with a substance called myelin. Myelin can be thought of as a kind of insulation for nerve cells in the brain that also helps speed brain signals along and in adolescent brains, the protective coating it forms is not yet complete.
Frontal lobe myelination is not fully completed until age 25 years or so, and the pre-myelinated brain is more susceptible to damage from neurotoxins, says Dr. Richard Wahl, director of adolescent Medicine at the University of Arizona. Cannabis, most likely, is a neurotoxin in high and continuous doses.
One of the major difficulties in getting the message across to teens that smoking pot can be detrimental to their long-term health is their attitude. Many teens believe that smoking cannabis may be illegal, but it's not dangerous.
Increasing efforts should be directed toward delaying the onset of cannabis use by young people, writes Meier, particularly given the recent trend of younger ages of cannabis-use initiation in the United States and evidence that fewer adolescents believe that cannabis use is associated with serious health risk.
The findings provide evidence for the actual rather than ideological and legal basis for concerns regarding cannabis use, said Dessa Bergen-Cico, a assistant professor of public health, food studies and nutrition at Syracuse University. These findings reinforce recommendations on the importance of primary prevention, evidence based drug education and policy efforts targeting not only adolescents, but elementary age children before they start.

Arsène Wenger is exploring "potential situations" in his search for full-back cover but he admits there are no concrete deals in place.
The Arsenal squad has been hit by a string of injuries to wide defenders with Bacary Sagna, Carl Jenkinson, Kieran Gibbs and Andre Santos all sidelined.
Even Wenger's deputy full backs have succumbed with Thomas Vermaelen and Francis Coquelin currently unavailable, so the manager is on the lookout for a solution.
"At the moment we are exploring potential situations we can take advantage of but there is nothing concrete," Wenger told Arsenal Player.
"Hopefully the players will come back very quickly now. With Carl Jenkinson we had very good news on his scan and he is starting to practice again, we have Thomas Vermaelen who is the first to come back, Bacary Sagna is evolving well and Santos is doing well too. Let's hope they all come back quickly."
Wenger's search for defensive reinforcements is a global one but he admits that a loan deal is not necessarily the answer.
"All over the world we have our eyes and we look for good [players]," said the manager.
"It is very simple in a situation like that. You might take a player who doesn't play at all somewhere, who is not necessarily fit quicker than a player who is injured. Or you take a young, potential player who has not made it somewhere.
"A player who plays anywhere in the world at the moment will not be available on loan, it doesn't exist. It can only be a guy who doesn't play or a promising player who has not yet made it completely who you could take advantage of.
"That is why it is not an easy situation. You have to consider that a guy who has not played for two months is not necessarily back quicker than Bacary Sagna or another player who is just coming back from injury."

On December 1st, 2010 public buildings and landmarks flooded with lights to signal the commitment of people to universal access to life-saving treatment and respect for the human rights of people affected by HIV and AIDS, as part of "Light for Rights", the theme of the World AIDS Day 2010 campaign.

Joining the worldwide mobilization, the Global Fund is today presenting its latest results, which are very encouraging. They show a 20 per cent increase, compared with December 2009, in the number of people receiving antiretroviral treatment through the programs it supports – a total of 3 million people, out of the more than 5.2 million on treatment globally today, with the support of many other organizations.

"The Global Fund is committed to fight for the rights of people directly or indirectly affected by HIV and AIDS, through the programs it supports in 145 countries. The results achieved by December 2010 are very positive, but much more needs to be done.

It's Thanksgiving!! Food, glorious food for me (and all Americans). Since it's Thanksgiving, and a holiday not celebrated outside of the United States, I thought I would share a few tid bits about this day and why Americans celebrate it, because the purpose of gathering with friends and family on Thanksgiving today, is something everyone can relate to.
The Mayflower brought the group of English settlers now known as the Pilgrims to North America. Leaving England in the fall of 1620, the Pilgrims were attempting to land near the mouth of the Hudson River, but instead ended up in Cape Cod Harbor. Plymouth, the colony established there by the Pilgrims in 1621, became the first permanent European settlement in New England.
In 1621, the Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag Indians shared an autumn harvest feast that is acknowledged today as one of the first Thanksgiving celebrations in the colonies. For more than two centuries, days of thanksgiving were celebrated by individual colonies and states. It wasn't until 1863, in the midst of the Civil War, that President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national Thanksgiving Day to be held each November.
Till today, families still gather in November for a feast. The purpose is to reflect upon and be thankful for the things that have passed over the last year as well as reconnect with the people one holds close.
Our must-have food at Thanksgiving include:
pumpkin pie
pecan pie
cranberry sauce
corn on the cobs
mashed potatoes
corn bread
green beans

Thank you Darren , i dont know about this story but sure i know about thanksgiving holiday although as u said we dont celebrate this day so happy thanksgiving day for all .
It's an old movie that have been referenced in movies, books, jokes, radio, comic strips (everywhere, really) countless times since 1960 and it's Alfred Hitchcock's most famous. Here are some facts about the movie that you might find interesting.
Of course, if you haven't seen it, and enjoy a good horror/thriller - please do!

Since it's the weekend, I thought I would give everyone some food for thought, so hopefully this weekend, you'll try to do your bit for your planet.
1. It takes 1000 years for polyethylene bags to break down (polyethylene is the most common plastic used)
2. we produce 20 times more plastic now than 50 years ago!
3. 380 billion plastic bags, sacks and wraps are consumed in the U.S. each year.
4. Each year, an estimated 500 billion to 1 trillion plastic bags are consumed worldwide. That comes out to over one million per minute. Billions end up as litter each year.
5. According to David Barnes, a marine scientist with the British Antarctic Survey, plastic bags have gone "from being rare in the late 80s and early 90s to being almost everywhere." Plastic bags have been found floating north of the Arctic Circle near Spitzbergen, and as far south as the Falkland Islands.
How you can do your part:
1. When you go out shopping this weekend, remember to bring your own cloth bags, or recycled bags.
2. If you're eating out, bring your own container to take home the leftovers.
3. Buy laundry detergent in paper boxes instead of detergent in plastic containers
4. If you purchase something packaged in glass, clean out the glass container and reuse it for food storage
5. When ordering drinks, say 'No straw, please!'
6. Buy your music online, instead of at the store
7. When you're buying coffee to take away, bring your own container. The drink lid and the lining in your cup are plastic, and will live for another 100 years!
8. When you're having food delivered, remind them not to send plastic utensils. You already have your own cutlery at home! You can also keep a set of utensils handy in the office as well!
These are just a few of the things you can do. Every little bit helps! Tell us what you've done to reduce your use of plastic.

Recently we pay for bags (which can be reused many times, and it's not very cheap) when we go shopping at some supermarkets in my country. They don't supply buyers with nylon bags. So you must bring your own bag while go shopping here. If not, you must pay for them.

India's cotton export trade policies have made the price of cotton skyrocket. To protect its local textile industry, India (the world's second largest cotton exporter) has restricted / banned the export of cotton.

"Gloomy Sunday" is a song composed by Hungarian pianist and composer Rezso Seress in 1933 and it now known as 'the Hungarian suicide song'. It is claimed that the song was banned because it was linked to many suicides in Hungary and United States, and while Seress did commit suicide by jumping off a building, all other claims that listening to the song causes suicide and encourages suicide has not been proven.

Two Years In A Levantine Family, tells a credible true story of a family haunted by a ghost called an 'ifriti, which is believed to be an evil-type of jinn. The ghost was a former owner, who was guarding his riches buried within the home. Bayle St. John listened to the family's account for many years, until one day he saw the ghost appear to him in the daylight. Importantly, St. John called the ghost a shakh, and was fortunate enough to see him two more times. Shakh, or sheik, is an honory Arabic term for elder, lord or wise man. In older, traditional, Arab lore, 'ifriti clearly meant ghost, and many times referenced an angry ghost, sometimes seeking revenge for its murder.

Did you know that the original Jack o'Lanterns were made out beet, potatoes and turnips?
Why do people carve faces out of pumpkins? The story originates from Ireland, where it is said a man named Stingy Jack once tricked the Devil to turn into a coin so he could buy a drink. When the Devil turned into a coin, Stingy Jack put the coin next to a silver cross so that the Devil could not turn back into his true form unless he promised to leave Stingy Jack alone for a year and that if Stingy Jack died, the Devil was not allowed to take his soul.
When Jack died, God would not allow him into Heaven and the Devil refused to allow him into Hell, but because the Devil had promised he would not take Jack's soul, he gave Jack a burning coal and sent him out into the night. Jack then put the burning coal into a turnip and continues to roam the Earth today. The Irish named this ghostly figure 'Jack of the Lantern'. It was then shortened to 'Jack o'Lantern'.
To scare away Stingy Jack and other evil spirits, people started making their own version of the Jack o'Lantern by carving scary faces into turnips, beets and potatoes. Immigrants then brought the tradition to the United States and discovered that pumpkins, a fruit native to the United States, made perfect Jack o'Lanterns. And have since been carving scary faces on pumpkins since!

Hi Pouya , thanks for your comment but I didnt mean that that falling asleep in 7 minutes is not healthy .what I think is that staying at bed for along time before falling asleeop is not healthy , not to mention that if you suffer from a disease or you are stressed and your mind can't stop thinking here it is a diifferent situation. so if you are one of those who need 7 minutes to fall asleep , Indeed this is an indication that your mind ,at least, is healthy.

Third day and he still has his hostage
"Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem" Ronald Reagan
According to Good Morning America, he is still in the bunker with enough food and water to last for weeks. He is communicating with the police through a pipe sticking out of the ground. Just a question. Why not send a "sleeping gas" that is nonlethal down that pipe? And If you believe the media the boy has autism and is watching cartoons on a tv?
Tanval: GMA says there is no relationship between the two. They said nobody knows why he took that particular kid. If you believe the media.
The fact remains that this kind of thing could happen and no one would ever hear about it outside of the general location.
Until the machine uses it to, I'll quote Obama here, 'form public opinion'.
I was thinking the same thingJust a question. Why not send a "sleeping gas" that is nonlethal down that pipe?
"Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem" Ronald Reagan
When the Russian theater was taken over by the Chetnian rebels.
They had the Russian "Special Ops" take over and storm the place. Those guys are bad to the bone well trained.. They pumped sleeping gas in through the A.C. ducts, it worked..
Sadly the rebels had gas masks.. Still they were able to go in and blast them with almost no loss of life, except all the rebels who got double tapped.
More sadly. Once they got the poor people outside, their was not enough medical staff. They laid them on their backs instead of their sides. People vomited, suffocated and died in the street. Choking on their own vomit.
Might?? be better to wait this idiot out? Gas could? kill this poor little kid.
This idiot just might have a gas mask, then only the poor kid could die.

Hi Dr.'s Racaniello and Despommier,
After listening to your podcast on Onchocerca volvulus I decided to contact you in hopes of enlisting your expertise. I am a PhD student of biology at Northern Arizona University and while my research is in novel antimicrobial gene discovery using halophilic Archaea I am also currently working with Onchocerca lupi. There has recently been an increase in incidence of Onchocerca lupi infections in dogs in the Southwestern United States. My dog, at 2 years of age, began showing symptoms of an eye infection that persisted after several different rounds of antibiotics. After seeking out an ophthalmologist, exploratory surgery was performed and a single nematode found. Almost a year and four surgeries later, his infection is still present. The worms have been coming to the outside surface of his eyes where I see them and pull them out as well as forming several nodules in his eyes. He is given monthly injections of ivermectin and takes doxycycline daily (200mg) in hopes of killing the Wolbachia and rendering the parasites sterile. Between only two vets I have seen in the Phoenix area they have seen nine cases of Onchocerca lupi recently. I am receiving nodules removed from the eyes of my dog as well as parasite samples from California and Utah cases. I am currently sequencing the partial mitochondrial genes from all samples in hopes of comparing the parasites in the U.S. to others published from Central Europe where Onchocerca lupi is endemic. I wish to sequence the entire biome of Onchocerca lupi in hopes of discovering highly conserved unique DNA as a potential treatment target as well as other possible endosymbionts as potential targets. I also would just like to see this information available to others who specialize in parasites. Funding, however, seems very difficult to secure for this parasite.
I have a couple of questions I hope you can answer and if not perhaps you can point me in the direction of someone who can. I have not found any literature on O. lupi that shows these subcutaneous nodules throughout a canines body. The samples I have received have all been found in nodules on the eyes. However, I am finding several 'bumps' on my dog's body and am wondering if these might be nodules or if they are a calcium build up from the high, long-term dose of oral prednisone. Secondly, after recently dissecting a newly formed eye nodule, I found several worms that I believe are calcified ( I have not yet tested to be certain) and several worms that I am not sure if were alive or dead or perhaps unhealthy. Are there ways of testing whether these are healthy/living parasites? Will all dead parasites become calcified? Do you have any ideas why several of the worms have migrated to the outside surface of his eyes?
I feel I had a million questions to ask you and now can only remember these. I did want to point out that recently in areas where this parasite is endemic (Europe) a couple of papers have been published on Onchocerca lupi being zoonotic. These findings are based on molecular analysis. This seems like reason for concern in the United States where it looks like it is also soon to be endemic.
I have included a picture from one of my dog's surgeries of what we are calling a drainage tract. It seems too large to be created for the adult worms to migrate through, could it be for the microfilaria? Have you seen anything like this before? The vets and I are at a loss for what it is, but after having all surrounding tissue removed several months later another one formed. Thank you for taking the time to read my ridiculously long email and any information you can give me is greatly appreciated.

Hi Vincent and Dick,
Loving the podcast, and I'm glad that you guys finally got around to the wonderfully peculiar and complex trematodes! Having worked with various different species of trematodes for the last few years, I am
glad to finally hear them make an appearance on TWiP. When you were discussing schistosome cercariae penetrating their host, I was reminded of some videos I filmed over a year ago which can be found here:
There, you will find the video of some cercariae of a fluke call Curtuteria australis (which I wrote a post about for the Parasite of the Day blog: http://dailyparasite.blogspot.com/2010/01/january-15-curtuteria-australis.html)
penetrating the foot of its second intermediate host, a bivalve called Austrovenus stutchburyi.
Back on the subject of the schistosomes, some recent research indicate that schistosomes can get "divorced":
Beltran, S., Boissier, J. (2010) Male-biased sex ratio: why and what consequences for the genus Schistosoma? Trends in Parasitology 26: 63-69.
Beltran, S., Cézilly, F., Boissier, J. (2008) Genetic dissimilarity between mates, but not male heterozygosity, influences divorce in schistosomes. PLoS ONE 3(10): e3328.
Beltran, S., Cézilly, F., Boissier, J. (2009) Adult sex ratio affects divorce rate in the monogamous endoparasite Schistosoma mansoni. Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology 63: 1363-1368.
Steinauer, M.L. (2010) The sex lives of parasites: investigating the mating system and mechanisms of sexual selection of the human pathogen Schistosoma mansoni. International Journal for Parasitology 39: 1157-1163. (interesting supplementary video for this paper)
Also on the subject of trematodes in general, it is true that the majority of them have a snail first intermediate host, but there is a handful of families (e.g: gymnophallid, fellodistomatid, bucephalid, etc) which have bivalve first intermediate host. Finally there are a few very odd species which use polychaetes of all things as first
intermediate hosts (e.g: Cardicola forsteri), however such examples are very rare. So generally speaking all digenean/trematodes have *mollusc* first intermediate hosts, and the majority of them have snail first intermediate hosts.
Keep up the good work, the podcast is always informative and I look forward to more fluke talk!

My cable modem was knocked out by a lightning strike over the weekend, and I just got things put to rights yesterday afternoon. I'm lucky the cable-modem was all I lost: it sounded like the lightning strike actually hit my house. The power went out, my television's picture-tube was gaussed something terrible (although after leaving it turned off for awhile, the picture and color were restored), etc. The repairman told me that the lightning also fried the junction between the outside cable line and the link to the pole.
And just to make things fun, this crummy weather is supposed to last all week.

Dear Lucy:
I am an Engilsh teacher of young learners in Asia (and I am not a native-speaker). Please help me clearify some questions:
(1) There is V.S. There are
In two of the text books I am using in class, we learned sentences like: There is a living room, a dining room and a bedroom in the house.
There is a sandwich, a potato and an orange on the table.
(FYI, the books are Side by Side published by Longman, Open House published by Oxford University Pres) And I told the kids we would use "There are cats and dogs" or "There are two birds in the tree" when "there" followed with plural nouns.
And thus, my students and I followed the text books and we got used to this kinds of oral and written expression. But now all of my students are facing a problem: their junior high school teachers told them that's wrong and didn't give them any points on the tests. The teachers told them the sentences should be like: There are a cat and a dog under the table.
because there are two objects ( a cat and a dog).
(2) Running Nose vs. Runny Nose
Is there any difference between the two usage? I told my students that "I have a runny nose and my nose is running." But my students said their school teachers told them it should be RUNNING NOSE"
My students are quite confused. And I don't know how to help them or even to express to them. Please help me. Thanks a lot!

Anyone have one, what do you think of it?

Anyone have one, what do you think of it?
I, too, have been looking at an EMP. Iwas wondering if anyone had anything good or bad to say about them, but it looks like everyone like XD's.
I have the 9mm version and absolutely love it. Works well, looks great, and is absolutely accurate. IMO it is a fabulous gun. My wife "allowed" me to purchase it an expensive, good looking toy. I do not carry it but just plain love it. Out of all the guns I own it is the overall best. I currently have a Springfield XD9, Walther PPS .40, Sig Pro 2022 in 9mm, Kahr PM9, Kahr MK9, tow Taurus 22lr revolvers, and a Ruger SP101 38sp. The EMP is and always will be at the top of the heap for me. It is also easy to take down to clean and reassemble.
anything substantial to add? i looked at one but like you i have several that already possess all the the criteria you mentionedand i carry them , so i couldn't justify the extra cash just to say i had one. but that's just me:smt023Quote:
Works well, looks great, and is absolutely accurate. IMO it is a fabulous gun.
I carry the PPS .40 or the MK9. While both are expensive, I would hate to have the EMP taken or confiscated due to a situation. For me, I would love to carry the EMP but it really is just a treasure. If I were to carry it I would send it back in and have the ambidextrous safety changed to one side only. If utility is the "only" reason to have the EMP then it becomes a matter of want versus need. Sometimes I do keep it near my TV chair. It is a great gun imo, but up to each individual to decide what its use will be and whether or not it is worth it.
I have one, actually bought it used. I was looking at guns and a small shop had a rep day where reps from 3 or 4 companies brought in their samples, including the EMP from the Springfield guy. I just fell in love with it, esspecially the trigger and it just felt great in my hand and pointed really well for me.
Then I was down at Bill's in the Twin Cities and they had one to rent so I trried that as well as a little Kimber, both in 9mm. Both had obviously done lots of shootin but not had any cleaning and the Kimber kept jamming but the EMP worked well enough. Out of maybe 10 plus handguns I tried out, the EMP was the most accurate in my hands. But it and the Kimber are the only 1911 types I tried.... But it beat the Kimber, XDm40, XDsc9, and Glock 19 ... the rest were all smaller sub compacts including a LCP, which btw was as accurate in my hands as throwing rocks.
I do carry mine but only bought it this past winter and have been carrying it in the plastic holster it comes with and concealing it under my winter coat. I am thinking of getting something even more compact for summer carry. My biggest gripe with it is those rediculously large ambi safety levers. I carry on my right, strong side and the left lever digs into my side a little. I am also always concious of them as I have bumped them off a couple times by accident. Once just carrying it upstairs to bed and I brushed it against something and when I checked it before putting it down, it was off safty! Why Springfield would desighn such a great little carry gun and then put those rediculous levers on it, on both sides no less, is beyound me. They also substantially add the width of the gun. Otherwise I wish it had a laser and maybe the hammer and tail bobbed off just a little and it would be perfect!
I never tire of looking at it but I am allready seeing a little wear from carrying it. I would like to get to a good gun show and take time to look at different holster options. Anybody got any advice on Holsters and gunsmiths to change the safeties?
Hi Action-B. Check out High Noon, TT Gunleather, Mitch Rosen to name a few holster makers. Otherwise just google up holsters for the EMP. There apparently several holster makers out there. I think High Noon has the quickest turnover time. I have a Mitch Rosen holster for my PPS and it is excellent in looks and quality. He also makes good gun belts. Good Luck with your search. Someday I will also get a holster for mine. I wish I could afford the .40 but I so not own more than 50% of the stock on that decision.
I love miy 40.
I carry it in a Sparks Sumer Special II
Bought a EMP 9mm a few weeks ago and I will have to say I'm extremely pleased with this little gun. I currently carry a Glock 27 and will now be replacing it with this gun. I have run almost 500 rnds through this gun with not one malfunction and it is way more accurate for me then my Glock. I did fine with the Glock but there was no way I was going to use it in USPSA because of the longer shots. I have decided to use the EMP a few times during compitition once I get my extra mags for it, it is that accurate. I have fallen in love with this little gun. It's not perfect, I wish the heel was not so sharp, and I also wish the front of the grip would come checkered from the factory as does Kimbers. I hope that this helps some other guys who are on the fence with this gun, I know it's nice to see some positive review's when spending this much for a pistol. :smt023

A new survey sponsored by a British Muslim organization estimates that about 5,200 people in the United Kingdom converted to Islam last year, part of a steady increase since 2001.The report, titled "A Minority Within a Minority," was issued by the Faith Matters organization and conducted by Kevin Brice, an office administrator at Swansea University.
"I think what the survey shows is that people who converted to Islam are normal people," Kevin Brice told AOL News today. "They"re not a group of people trying to undermine the Western world. They feel that being a Muslim goes hand in hand with their British identity."
The number of Muslim converts in Britain has passed 100,000, fuelled by a surge in young white women adopting the Islamic faith. The survey of converts revealed nearly two thirds were women, more than 70 per cent were white and the average age at conversion was just 27.
British journalist Lauren Booth, sister-in-law of former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, converted to Islam following a visit to Iran, saying she is a "proud member" of the Muslim community.
Kevin Brice, a white British national, said he converted to Islam in 1990. "The report shows there is a vibrant and growing Muslim convert community that feels at ease living in the U.K. and being Muslim," said Fiyaz Mughal, the founder and director of Faith Matters.
Lynne Ali, 31 year old former DJ from Dagenham in Essex expressed her feelings as "This is the real me – I am happy to pray five times a day and take classes at the mosque."
Also 43 Year old, MTV's former presenter Kristiane Backer became a Muslim and she explained; "Islamic values are different from Western culture. Living far from distress and making everything for the sake of Allah is important."
Another British woman who converted to Islam is 32 year old newspaper reporter Camilla Leyland. Leyland expresses that Islam inspires her to feel various spiritual feelings.

Assuming that Leonova and Makarova make the team again, who do you think will be the third member? My vote is Shelepen. I know she didn't have the best season, but the way she handled that crazy growth spurt is to be commended.

A digital piano with graded-hammer-action and remarkably authentic sound.
The Yamaha Arius Series provides true piano sound and feel. The graded-hammer keyboard on the Yamaha YDP141 digital piano makes it a true joy to play both in practice and in performance. The 3-level AWM dynamic stereo sampling voices deliver remarkably authentic sound. Moreover, the 88-key digital piano's damper pedal includes a half-damper effect, giving you nuanced expressive control over the sustained sound. Dual voice capability lets you play 2 different instrument sounds at the same time, while the Yamaha keyboard's a 2-track song recorder allows you to capture original musical ideas and performances.
Graded Hammer Standard (GHS) keyboard:
Just like a traditional acoustic piano, lower notes on a GHS keyboard have a heavier touch, while the higher ones are more responsive to lighter playing. The matte finish of the black keys enhances the Yamaha Arius piano keyboard's luxurious appearance.
Variable touch sensitivity:
Select the hard, medium, or soft setting to match your playing style or finger strength. Turn off sensitivity for a fixed response setting, which is ideal when playing the organ.
Advanced Wave Memory (AWM) dynamic stereo sampling:
The digital piano keyboard comes with AWM (Advanced Wave Memory), a sampling system that creates the realism of an acoustic instrument by using digital technology to record the instrument sound and apply high-quality digital filter technology to the recorded audio samples. The waveform of the sound created by playing the key of an acoustic piano differs depending on the playing strength from pianissimo to fortissimo. AWM dynamic stereo sampling can produce dynamic nuances by recording samples of various playing strengths. The greater the number of samples used, the higher the expression.
64-note polyphony:
Conventional digital pianos quickly run out of notes during fast, dense legato passages: sustained notes are cut off as the instrument "steals" notes to make room for new notes. On the Yamaha Arius YDP141, a maximum of 64 notes can be played all at once.
Half-pedal control:
Half-pedal control allows the sustain length to vary step-by-step depending on how far the pedal is pressed. The farther you press the pedal, the more the sound sustains.
Song recorder:
The 88-key Yamaha digital piano's built-in, 2-track performance memory allows you to record a backing track and then step into the spotlight and solo over it. Best of all, you can change tempo or voices even after you've recorded your performance. There's also a built-in metronome to help you stay in perfect time.
50 preset piano songs:
The Yamaha Arius YDP141 digital piano gives you a selection of 50 different piano songs for your listening pleasure. These recordings were chosen for their beauty as well as their functionality. Since many of the songs are classic piano pieces, anyone taking lessons can use them as a reference.

Posted by Leslie Owens on February 2, 2010
Fellow analyst Gene Leganza wrote an excellent overview of Information Architecture, available for free via this link: http://www.forrester.com/rb/Research/topic_overview_information_architecture/q/id/55951/t/2
Gene briefly explores the misunderstanding between "Enterprise IA" and "User Experience IA." This tension was well characterized by Peter Morville almost 10 years ago (See "Big Architect, Little Architect." Personally I think it's clear that content is always in motion, and unsupported efforts to dominate and control it are doomed. People are a critical element of a successful IA project, since those who create and use information are in the best position to judge and improve its quality. Many hands make light work, as the saying goes.
For example, if you want a rich interactive search results page, you need to add some structure to your content. This can happen anytime from before the content is created (using pre-defined templates) to when it is presented to a user on the search results page. Content is different than data, a theme Rob Karel and I explored in our research on Data and Content Classification. For this reason, IA is both a "Back end" and a "Front end" initiative.

Thanks, I picked up some JB weld.
Thanks, I picked up some JB weld.
i use chicago screws to hold my visor at the corners of the eyes then i did this at the bottom of the mandibles:
I will be using your chicago screw / washer method (or the t-bolt method first mentioned, if I can find them locally).
IMO, I think the visor should be replaceable like this, in case you want to troop at night, or in case you want to tint your visor... and most importantly: in case you scratch or crack your old one too badly.
Has anyone tried the chicago screw method but instead of making a hole in the visor let the washer make pressure on one side, I don't know if I explained myself clearly, I think I saw a picture of somebody with that type of installation but can't find that post anymore... I have my visor to install in my 97 don Post but theres not much space in the bottom part of the mandibules to install a screw like the ones I see here, may need to go with a hybrid of screws and hot glue gun in the bottom.....
Ok, so I was thinking abut a method to install the visor that could be easy to install and remove without the use of tools or drilling into my visor, some kind of clip on/clip off method, so I was looking for some kind of flat clip that will accommodate the 3mm acrylic of the visor I bought from T-Visor.com but wasn't able to find them, so I had to build my own. So I started with a standard small paper clip 3/4" (19mm) I got at Office Depot, this are really cheap, I don't know in the US, but here are less than a dollar for 12 pieces.
then remove one of the "legs" and flat out one side using some pliers...
I did cut the flat side using a dremmel tool cutting discs to remove the round part that used to hold the "leg" to make it as flat as possible to glue it flush to the edge of the helmet, I used plastic welder 2 part glue and it works like a charm gluing metal to plastic, remember to sand a little bit the plastic part in the helmet to give it a better grip...I installed 3 on top and 4 on the vertical part of the T, I have no problem on the sides of the horizontal part.
I left the remaining leg on the 3 top clips, it makes it a lot easier to slide the visor in and on the vertical part the visor just slides in with no effort at all...
Hope this helps, I'm happy with the result...
great info
I'm using the chicago screw & kitchen faucet washer method for my Assassin helmet visor. Pick up the "Size 0" kitchen faucet washers.. they fit the chicago screws well and measure 1/8" thick. Try to get the 3/16" long chicago screws or smaller if you have a standard 1/16" thick visor. I had the 1/4" screws, but they were too long & I did not want to countersink them too deep into the helmet.
I sanded a slight recess (about 1/16" deep) in the helmet and dabbed plastic bonder epoxy on the bottom of the bolts. I taped them down to the helmet till the glue dried. Since this wasn't a real strong bond, I went in with JB Weld filler around the bolt & to fill in the recess more.
Now I have bolts attached firmly to the helmet. The only question now is, "How do I mark the visor for holes?" The bolts are not lined up exactly with the template, so I have to remark the holes on the visor/template. Thinking I'll put some masking tape on the template (which is taped to my visor cut-out) and some paint or nailpolish on the bolts. Then TRY to press it down to line it up.
I´ve tried to use the chicago screw method. I get the visor on the helmet. But there is still a little bit space between the helmet ant the visor. When i look in front of it. At the side and at the bottom where is no place for the screws. now i don´t know if it´s ok or if the visor must sit without any space. How is it with your helmet is there still some space? I´m afraid to go on an try it with epoxy or hot glue. i don´t want to ruin my helmet.
Thank you Jango72. I butchered the mounting holes a little bit (not all of them fit), and I did not think to use making tape.. Wish I did, as I scratched the visor with scissors (note - do not cut TOWARDS the visor with scissors. Use the exacto knife when cutting towards the visor). Fortunately, I can't see the scratch when it's installed, and I can't see it from the inside. If I could, I'd just make it into weathering.
Here is a pic of the Assassin helmet with the visor installed via chicago screws. I used more than necessary. I suggest removing the two in the middle of the "mouth" section. I'd also consider removing the one in the top middle area.
This is great. Thx for sharing.
great tutorial ill try for this
Thanks for your tip / info.!
Is there a template for cutting out the t visor from a tinted sheet? My Asok CC came with a sheet for the visor but it has a curve to it so I think I will have to take it out before I cut it. What are the dimensions for the visor? T-visor.com has a few different ones, which one would fit my lid?
Ok, a couple of questions regarding the visor. What color should it be? the visor that I got from Asok with my CC bucket is green, but the visor I just recieved from t-visor.com is brown, which one should I use? Second, should I sand the inside of the helm so the visor fits snuggly against the inside? How far down should it go, should it line up with the bottom of the helm where the visor goes? What color should I paint the inside? I am not looking for 100% accuracy, but something that would pass the 501st. I think I am going the chicago screw method, so at least I have an idea of how I am going to put the visor in the helm, once I figure out which one I should use.
I have a question bout this "chicago Screw method" If I were to use a screw and nut to hold my visor how would I get the hole in my helmet also wouldn't I have to worry bout the edge of the screw popping out of the other side of my helmet? how should I do this.. I just want to make sure I get it right
I did a little research on this and lowes and home depot all these binding screws, not Chicago screws.
I didn't even think of the chicago screws - I have a bunch leftover from a belt I made a while back. Thanks for the tips, TDH!
Anyone had their T-Visor crack? I was drilling the holes into the visor so I can use the bolt method and it cracked in half. The bit is new and sharp, and I didn't put any pressure on it at all. It's a nice visor, but seems very brittle.
I'm thinking I'll go for the Jango72 method, I'm a neat freak and want the inside of my helmet to be as clean and organized as possible, I plan on painting the inside of mine as well just to keep it clean.
The results were always horrible looking, but yet we continued to do it to all our cars, you may get it almost perfect, but the odd air bubble always popped up.
Oh the memories.
Has anyone tried using rare earth magnets? I have seen them used on just about everyother part of costumes. I imagine a small, low profile magnet could be glued inside the helmet and then dry fit the trimmed visor in and put another magnet on the inside of the visor then mark it and take it out to glue it in place. It seems like it would work great in my mind. Im not up to that point on my bucket. I will take pics and update in my build if it works.
I found a full face shield at a welding supply shop today that I think will work perfect. I was able to get it in a really dark tint with a green tint to it and it was only $6.10. They didn't have it in stock though, but it will be in on Wednesday. I'll post some pics when I get it.
The magnet idea might work, but I don't know of anyone that has tried it. I wa aging to do it with the binding screws, but I became too impatient and just used epoxy and hot glue. It looks like poop on the inside but it should hold and you can't see anything from the outside of the helm so that's good enough for now.

James Holmes was referred to University of Colorado threat-assessment team, sources say
August 1, 2012
The University of Colorado Denver psychiatrist seeing accused murderer James Eagan Holmes was so alarmed by his behavior that she notified the campus-wide threat assessment team that she helped create years before, a source told The Denver Post.
Dr. Lynne Fenton, identified in a court document as Holmes' psychiatrist, in June took her concerns to members of the campus' Behavioral Evaluation and Threat Assessment team but no further action was taken, a source with knowledge of the process told The Post.
University officials could not confirm or deny the report, citing the federal health privacy law and a judge's gag order in the case against Holmes.
The information was first reported late Wednesday by Denver's KMGH-TV, 7News. The station, citing unnamed sources, reported that CU-Denver officials did not contact Aurora police before the July 20 massacre at the Century Aurora 16 theater that killed 12 people and injured 58 others. There was no mention in the report of whether CU-Denver police were notified.

"He's been a big difference, both on and off the ice," Regier said. "I think it's not unlike other young players. It's a maturation process. It's your ability to stay focused. It's your ability to keep your feet on the ground, know even more than an even-keel attitude, and really just to do the work.
