two part epoxy. apply it, sand it as smooth as you can, touch up with paint. Maybe not perfect but that stuff sticks forever!
OH wow man I hate to see when this stuff happens!!! I have had it happen myself with a commission I was working on it is the worst feeling in the world and when it happened it was like it was in slow motion. I feel for you bro, I would go with the 2prt epoxy as well sand it all down and repaint I might even add some more fiberglass to the areas where it snapped. crazy how the resin pulled away like that.
Looking at that makes me so upset, at least you don't have all the detail of an Empire paintup though :(
That sux, but can be fixed, Ive fixed one kinda similar. And ROTJ is more complicated than some may think maybe not 3 layers of paint but its still more than silver and a layer of paint on top....take a look at ref pics there is ALOT going on that thing.
I agree with the two part epoxy... maybe the the Loctite "gel" type so its not so runny. Tape up the areas close to the seams so that you don't get glue on them. If you get glue on the tape, you just peel the tape off.
I would also try to carefully remove that fiberglass backing... not all just enough so you could lay down a little more after the seam dries. Be sure to sandpaper the back of the broken pieces so that when you recoat with resin and fiberglass it will have something to stick to.
I would also cover up the the dome and the back and the sides... maybe you could just get away with repainting the mandibles/ cheeks area... as long as you can match up the green of the cheeks to the dome.
I hope this helps a bit!
A sad day indeed, Im still in the process of painting mine, and fear droping it knowing how fragile it really is. Best of luck with the repair, I fully agree with the epoxy/ sanding and repaint, with the fiberglass backing. Keep us updated on the repair, and good luck again.
Thanks a bunch everyone. You all are awesome. I having gotten over the mad stage of things and moved onto the grieving process. I am going to start to glue it tonight and take my time. I will post pictures. The thing that really really sux is that I just had Jeremy Bulloch sign it two weeks before.
dude... that's a real bummer...
Honestly Id do a full repaint on it the upper cheek color is to dark of a color should be a blue-ish color...maybe lighting i dont know. But I would repaint the whole thing. Or at least the red area down...
That's terrible to hear...and to think I've been actually trying to break my spare don post mask just for kicks
It's a horrible thing to see this. :( I would recommend building it back up with bondo, but the epoxy will work just as well I suppose. A repaint is definitely a good idea as well, just mask the signature. :) Hope you get your helmet back to 110% bruv!!!
Well. I decided not to go ahead and bondo the seams. I think it turned out pretty good. As everyone said the cheeks are a little dark but I decided not to redo them at this time. I am getting a new bucket in the future so after I repaint that one I will "retire" this one. Thanks for everyones support, encouragement, and ideas. Again I think it look pretty good. Hey, it's "natural" weathering!

You did super job fixing it up! Good for you. :) After it's retirement the helmet will be a great display piece.

Posts Tagged 'Classic Blazer'
nine to five
September 4th, 20110
The kids are going back to school and this signals the end of the holidays and knuckling down to work. The summer has been, well, sunny at times, it has bucketed down on some days and has been a bit chilly on others, a little more than we would expect. So now the knitwear and coats that are appearing in the shops don't look so out of place at all. And there is something quite exciting and optimistic about the new collections and welcoming in a brand new season.
Having packed away your thong sandals, maxi dresses, and the last bits of your summer wardrobe, you may now be panicking about what you are going to wear to work, but help is at hand in the way of Pepperberry. Our new autumn collection has some lovely pieces that will help you ease back into work with effortless style.
Everyone needs a Classic Blazer in their wardrobe and this one from Pepperberry could form the basis of your autumn and winter wardrobe, it is so wearable. It will look great with everything you already have and any new Pepperberry pieces you are thinking of buying. It is one-buttoned, which is very flattering for bigger boobs and has a nipped in waist, It also has a slight sheen which will make it great for an impromptu after work drink.
The Drawcord Jersey Dress is already proving to be a favourite with our Bravissimo ladies. It comes in rose and chocolate marl and is a very versatile dress. It will look fabulous with tan boots and a tan bag and can be transformed with accessories like our gorgeous Pleat Scarf in pink. This dress is super flattering, because it fits under the boobs at the narrowest part and the added drawcord at each side can be adjusted, so it fits perfectly. It is recommended that a plunge bra is worn with this dress and if it proves a bit low for the office, a cami in a contrasting colour, like pink with the chocolate dress, or if you opt for the dress in rose, try a chocolate cami underneath.
The Ponti Zip Back Dress is a perfect work dress, it is in a heavy stretch fabric and has a contrast lining and exposed zip, which is a feature that will be seen in this autumn/winter collections. It has scoop pockets, that will enhance those real curves and it is available in aubergine.
With these few items and some of your clothes from last autumn, you can make a start on building your work capsule wardrobe. Don't forget you don't need to buy loads, just a few well chosen pieces that you can mix and match. And we will be highlighting some other "must buy pieces" from Pepperberry in future blogs, so keep reading ladies and enjoy those first days back at work.

Delaware Selects Eddie Allen as Special Teams Coordinator/Tight Ends Coach; Dennis Dottin-Carter Promoted to Co-Defensive Coordinator
Related Links
Allen, who served as special teams coordinator and running backs coach at the University of Rhode Island for the last six years, will replace Devin Fitzsimmons, who left the UD staff last month to take a coaching position with the National Football League's Detroit Lions. Dottin-Carter, now in his second year on the Blue Hens staff, will join Tim Weaver as co-defensive coordinators.
Delaware will open spring drills on Tuesday, Apr. 8, and will once again travel downstate to take part in a practice at Milford High School on Saturday, Apr. 26. The annual Blue-White Spring Game, including the popular pre-game Fandemonium family fun event, is scheduled for Saturday, May 3 at Delaware Stadium.
"We are very excited to add Eddie to our staff," said Brock, who led Delaware to a 7-5 record and national Top 25 rankings during his first season at the helm in 2013. "His excellence in the area of special teams will guarantee that we continue creating an environment where special teams play will be a weapon."
Delaware thrived on special teams this past season. As a unit, the Blue Hens led the nation in fewest blocked punts allowed (0), ranked No. 2 in net punting (41.47), No. 9 in blocked kicks (6), and No. 20 in punt returns (6.1). Delaware led the CAA in each of those categories.
Allen enjoyed outstanding success at Rhode Island during his tenure as a member of former head coach Joe Trainer's staff, including last season when the Rams led the CAA in fewest blocked kicks allowed and ranked No. 2 in kickoff return average (22.3). Rhode Island also ranked No. 3 in the CAA in kickoff returns (20.9) and allowed the second fewest return yards in the league during the 2012 campaign.
"I am extremely excited to join Coach Brock's staff at the University of Delaware," said Allen. "During my time at URI, I have developed a great level of respect for the program and its amazing history. Delaware football is one of the top programs in the FCS and I look forward to working with Coach Brock and his staff to bring championships back to Newark."
In 2011, Rhode Island averaged 21.5 yards per kick return while allowing an average of just 18.9 yards per return. In 2010, under the direction of Allen, URI ranked in the CAA's top five in four special teams categories and held the league's top kickoff return average (23.8). Among the highlights was a blocked punt that was returned for the game-winning score over 2009 defending champion Villanova. In 2009, Rhode Island punter Tim Edger led the CAA in punting with a 41.5-yard average, and in 2008, the Rams blocked nine kicks on the season.
Prior to arriving at Rhode Island, Allen spent three seasons as a member of Greg Schiano's coaching staff at Rutgers. He joined the Scarlet Knights' football program in 2005 as a player development assistant and worked as a graduate assistant in 2007.
Allen began his collegiate coaching career as the offensive graduate assistant and video coordinator at Hofstra University in 2003. The following season, Allen moved on to Fort Scott Community College in Fort Scott, Kan., where he served as wide receivers coach.
A native of Somerville, N.J., Allen graduated with a bachelor's degree from the University of New Haven in 2003. He was a four-year letterwinner at quarterback for the Chargers. He and his wife, Kristin, and daughter, Makayla, will reside in the Newark area.
Dottin-Carter began his first year on the Delaware staff this past fall and played a key role in the Hens' 7-5 campaign. Dottin-Carter coached two of the top defensive linemen in the CAA led by All-American and first team all-league defensive tackle Zach Kerr and defensive end Derrick Saulsberry.
Kerr, who took part in the NFL Scouting Combine back in February and is a potential NFL draft pick, recorded 3.5 sacks this past season while Saulsberry, who will be a senior this fall, led the team with eight sacks and 14 tackles for loss in 2013. As a team, Delaware ranked No. 3 in the CAA in red zone defense, stopping opponents 77.1 percent of the time.
"I appreciate this opportunity to further help the University of Delaware football program in a higher capacity," said Dottin-Carter. "It's an honor and a privilege to be considered for this position and I will continue to give 100 percent to this program and uphold the great Blue Hen football tradition."

A day after breaking a school record in the 1-meter dive which had previously stood for 18 years, junior diver Eddie Quarantillo set to pace for the Canisius College swimming and diving team at day two of the University of Rochester Invitational on Saturday.
Quarantillo took first place in the 3-meter dive with a score of 266.95, with Griffs' freshman Adam Bonk finishing just a point behind in second place, helping the Canisius men top Brandeis, NYU and Rochester in dual meets on Saturday.
The Canisius women also swept the schools behind a pair of record breakers. Freshman Hannah Graesser breaking her own school-record in the 50-yard freestyle with a time of 24.09. Graesser also broke the school-record in the 100-yard freestyle just one event later with a time of 53.69.
Junior diver Taylor Epstein set the school's 1-meter dive record with a score of 234.25.
A strong finish is what catapulted the Griffs to the top of the leaderboard, as a Canisius swimmer took first in 13 of the final 20 events at the meet.
Freshman Marissa Watroba started the run with a first place finish in the 100-yard breaststroke. Watroba completed the event in 1:09.37. Fellow freshman Matt Tanchick took first for the men in the same event, finishing in 58.94. Freshman Wyatt Sintay, finished just behind Tanchick in second place with a time of 1:00.41.
Watroba would later win the 200-yard breaststroke with a time of 2:30.57.
In the 200-yard backstroke sophomore Clare Battaglia completed the event in 2:12.66, which was good for another Griffs' first place finish. Battaglia also broke the pool record in the 100-yard backstroke with a time of 59.87.
Battaglia's swim was one of three University of Rochester pool records that were broken by the Griffs on Saturday. A pair of Canisius relay teams broke pool records as well, with sophomore Alex Doody, Battaglia, senior Kelli Graber, and Graesser breaking the University of Rochester's 200-free relay time. Canisius finished the event with a time of 1:38.62. The Griffs used a time of 3:36.42 to break the 400-yard freestyle relay time as well, with junior Marissa Oakey, Battaglia, Graber and Graesser on that team.
Sophomore Spencer Bray took the top spot in the 200-yard backstroke for the men in 1:56.60.
Bray would also take the top spot in the 500-yard freestyle.
In the women's 500-yard freestyle, the Griffs took both first and second, with the swimmers separated by less than 0.2 seconds. Doody managed to out-touch Oakey for the top-spot, finishing in 5:15.25.
Sintay took the first of his two victories in the 200-yard breaststroke, Sintay also finished first in the 200-yard IM.
The Griffs will return to the pool next Saturday, Nov. 2 when they head to SUNY Geneseo. That meet is scheduled to begin at noon.

text: Hey folks, a while ago I was contacted by someone who wanted a Boushh helmet. After many hours, and with lots of tips I picked up from this group, here it is. It's pepakura, with some scratch built greebles, and acrylic lenses. It has a voice changer inside, and two rows of blinking leds in the upper "range finder." The client said she wasn't super picky on the greebles being 100% screen accurate, but I've already found ways to make them closer to the real deal since finishing it. I think I really nailed the paint job, including the stencils along the sides...it totally looks like it's been trekking across the galaxy. Let me know what you think!

Same challenge for Wisconsin basketball
MADISON, Wis. -uwbadgers.com - Last season Wisconsin and Virginia squared off for the first time in Big Ten/ACC Challenge history. In 2013, the two teams will play the rematch as the Badgers travel to Charlottesville, Va. in the 15th-annual Big Ten/ACC Challenge.
The Badgers and Cavaliers will play the second night of competition on Wednesday, Dec. 4. Game time and television network have yet to be determined.
Wisconsin will be looking to avenge a 60-54 loss when the two teams meet in the 2013 challenge. UW is 6-8 all-time in the Challenge, recording victories in three of the last five seasons.
The Badgers trail only Illinois (7) for the most victories among Big Ten teams. Wisconsin's winning percentage (.429) is tied for fifth behind Illinois (.500), Ohio State (.500) Purdue (.500) and Michigan State (.462).
The Badgers are coming off their 15th-consecutive appearance in the NCAA tournament after earning 23 victories in 2012-13, the ninth-highest win total in school history.
Virginia, which is 8-5 overall in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge and owns a 5-1 home record, is coming off an appearance in the 2013 NIT. Led by former UW assistant Tony Bennett, the Cavaliers finished 23-12 overall after suffering a 75-64 loss to Iowa in the quarterfinals of the tournament.
Next season's matchup promises to be a defensive showcase as Virginia and Wisconsin finished fifth and seventh, respectively, in the country last season in scoring defense. The Badgers yielded just 55.9 points per game, while the Cavaliers gave up only 55.6 points per contest.
The ACC won the first 10 Challenges, but the Big Ten is unbeaten in the last four after last season's inter-conference duel ended in a tie.
2013 ACC/Big Ten Challenge schedule (times and networks are to be determined):
Tuesday, Dec. 3
- Florida State at Minnesota
- Illinois at Georgia Tech
- Indiana at Syracuse
- Michigan at Duke
- Notre Dame at Iowa
- Penn State at Pittsburgh
Wednesday, December 4

Bruce Lee: The Incomparable Fighter
A review from a satisfied customer: M.Uyehara has written this interesting biography of Bruce Lee. The book describes his journey through Kung Fu and the development of his own style (Jeet Kune Do), and also the development of his own personal life and studies of oriental philosophy. This is not a text book of techniques and styles but is a story of one man's life. I enjoyed the book for its real time, accurate accounts, with pictures of his acting career and personal life. It could have been improved by the inclusion of some information on his techniques, and some diagrams. Though this information is available in other books such as Bruce Lee's Fighting Method Vol 1-4. I really enjoyed this book, it is an easy read and I would recommend it for anyone interested in martial arts


text: thanks in advance for anyone trying to help. Maybe a month or so back id hear a vibration coming from under the hood at about 3-4 rpms in third or fourth gear. Today i heard it in all the gears at 3000 rpm. You should know i only hear this upon rapid acceleration(when im flooring it.) anyways i scheduled an appointment at the dealership for this on the 6th cause theyre "slammed" with work. I dont even have 8000 miles on the car yet and its remained stock this whole time. Sorry i didnt mention that it sounds like the vibration comes from the area right where the turbo is located.... Im about 95% sure its around there. And to make matters worse, i hear/feel another rattle coming from the exhaust when i take off in first now. everything everywhere feels sturdy and tight. thx again ds

The Caparison TAT series, featuring a through-neck design was one of the first Caparison series from the original 1995 line up. Production of this design ceased in 1997 however following overwhelming demand, 2006 saw its much-anticipated return. The re-introduced models feature new pickup control configurations and finishes.
The Caparison TAT series has a unique structure to take advantage of the through-neck design: Typically, most guitars, the neck is relatively parallel to the body angle. The TAT series features an arched body top increasing that angle. In addition, the neck has a conical 350-400mm radius with a flattened rear profile and the heel & body cutaways are smooth, beautifully contoured and shaped. This results in a more comfortable playing position particularly when playing beyond the 12th fret.
The Caparison TAT model features an SSH pickup layout, a master tone control with push-push centre and neck pickup coil split, master volume control and 5-Way selector switch.
The TAT custom finish is applied by hand so each production model is visually unique.

In-Game Blog/Box score
If Princeton and Yale repeat their game from earlier this season when they meet up in the Ivy League tournament final Sunday, it'll be regarded as an all-time classic, as opposed to an interesting footnote to a March Saturday.
Of course, what are the odds of another five-overtime game?
About the same, it would appear, as having Princeton repeat what happened in its regular-season game against Brown earlier this season when those two got together for a second time.
Princeton-Brown II was much closer than the first meeting, though at this time of year, style points aren't very important. Instead, it's a win-and-advance mode, and that's exactly what Princeton did.
The Tigers got just enough of everything they needed and held off a strong challenge from a red-hot Brown team to win 9-6 in front of 1,286 fans at Sherrerd Field at Class of 1952 Stadium in the second Ivy League semifinal game. Princeton is now 11-3 overall, while Brown ended its season at 7-8.
The win advances Princeton to the final Sunday at noon to take on Yale, who defeated Cornell 14-10 in the first game Friday. The winner of the final will get the league's automatic bid to the NCAA tournament, though Princeton is the 2012 Ivy champion, regardless of the outcome of the game.
The first time Princeton and Yale met, the Tigers won 10-9 in five overtimes. That game was back on March 24.
A week later, Princeton went to Providence and defeated Brown 13-2.
Brown, though, regrouped to get big wins down the stretch to get into the Ivy tournament. As for Yale, the Bulldogs haven't lost since that five-OT game and will bring an eight-game winning streak into the game Sunday.
The rematch between Princeton and Brown didn't figure to be easy - and, if the series history was correct, high-scoring. And both turned out to be true.
Princeton, in fact, won for the first time this season in a game in which it didn't reach double figures. The Tigers got goals from seven different players, and only Mike MacDonald and Alex Capretta had more than one.
Capretta, who scored five times last week as Princeton defeated Cornell for the Ivy title and had the game-winner against Yale, had his two goals in a 1:17 span late in the second quarter, as the Tigers rallied from 4-3 down to build a 7-4 lead at intermission. Tom Schreiber's 30th goal of the year tied the game at 4-4, and then defenseman Rob Castelo had the first of his career with 22 seconds left before intermission after the two by Capretta.
Neither team erupted in the second half, and Princeton had a five-minute possession during the fourth quarter while it had an 8-6 lead.
Tyler Fiorito, the Ivy League Player of the Year, had 12 saves, giving him 608 for his career, two away from Kevin Gray for second place all-time at Princeton. Scott Bacigalupo has the school record with 732.
With this win behind them, the Tigers could focus on Yale, who led Cornell 13-4 at one point. Yale's Deron Dempster had eight goals, tying the stadium record set by B.J. Prager aginst Hobart in 2001, and Dempster's teammate Matt Gibson had eight assists in the game, setting the stadium record.

if the paint is cured than the poly will not affect it
what do u mean by cured? i let the finished board stand for 24 hours before we put on the poly and it still made the decos run

High-Tech Exports Will Be in Demand, Says UPS
October 4, 2012
The UPS annual "Change in the (Supply) Chain" survey, conducted by IDC Manufacturing Insights and targeting U.S.-based senior-level supply chain decision makers in the high-tech/electronics industry, suggests renewed confidence in the nation's exporting potential.
Despite economic uncertainty at home and abroad, survey respondents were bullish, said UPS.
"The anticipated shift in consumer market demand for high-tech goods brings opportunities and challenges for high-tech companies," said Ken Rankin, high-tech marketing director at UPS. "Global demand will continue to grow in new and existing markets, causing supply chain executives to shift not only their fulfillment operations but also their sourcing strategies to serve those markets. We have already begun to see such a shift as companies look to India and Brazil as key markets not only for fulfillment but for production as well."
Citing legislative changes and rising labor rates abroad as factors, 85 percent of U.S. high-tech executives believe the Obama administration's National Export Initiative goal to double exports by 2014 is either "very likely" or "somewhat likely" to be achieved versus 40 percent who believed so just after the goal was set two years ago.
The survey is designed to uncover top business and supply chain trends driving change in the high-tech/electronics industry. The 2012 survey focused specifically on exporting and was conducted in May through July 2012.
Among executives who believe the export goal is achievable, nearly one in three attribute this to the steady increase in disposable income in emerging markets. Another third cite rising labor rates in traditional low-cost manufacturing countries as a primary factor, and approximately one in five cite legislative changes such as recent free trade agreements in Asia. A large majority, 81 percent, of U.S. high-tech executives anticipate recent free trade agreements in Asia will increase their company's imports and exports to and from the region.
Although North America is anticipated to remain the largest high-tech consumer market over the next three to five years, demand for high-tech products is expected to decrease by seven percent in the region while demand in other markets is expected to increase, in some regions by double-digit percentages.
Specifically, executives report plans to increase sales/fulfillment in India, the Middle East and Africa by 22 percent each and in Brazil by 18 percent. Sales/fulfillment in other South American regions is expected to increase 19 percent. Eastern Europe (15 percent), Korea (13 percent), China (8 percent) and other Asian nations (8 percent) also rank on the list of top high-tech consumer demand markets.
IDC Manufacturing Insights Practice Director Kimberly Knickle said that shippers will be asking a number of questions before targeting these areas, however.
"Shippers soon discover which regions are capable of reliably serving their needs," she said. "Can the seaports handle dense delivery? Can the airport accommodate five flights a day? What is the labor situation? Security will always be key. It's all about infrastructure."

BIOGRAPHYBorn and raised in Nigeria, Kirti received her B.S. degree in mechanical engineering from Bayero University, Kano. She came to the United States in 2001 and received the M.S. in mechanical engineering degree from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in February 2004. During this time her research focused on real-time detection of geometric interference for the design of a 3D haptic stencil for manufacturing applications. This provided a novel approach to rapid autonomous manufacturing by using force feedback and collision avoidance for real-time machine control.
From 2004 to July 2010, she was a mechanical design engineer at Schlumberger Technology Corporation working on various projects developing tools for down-hole applications such as wire-line reservoir logging and interface subs for wired drill pipe projects. During this time she was exposed to testing and design for difficult environments – differential pressures of up to 30,000psi, temperatures of up to 430°F, high shock and bending specifications and extremely corrosive environments.
HEaTS: SiC Harsh Environment Pressure Sensors [BPN616]The goal of this project is to develop MEMs pressure sensors to survive harsh environments.
Harsh environments (high temperature, high pressure, high shock and/or corrosive conditions) are
encountered in various applications such as automobile engines, turbines, space, downhole oil and gas
drilling, and geothermal logging.

Mac OS X Strike Force
From HaskellWiki
The following is a wiki page to centralize discussion of how to improve Haskell on Mac OS X. The name "strike force" comes from dons' post on reddit and the comments therein.
1 Wiki
You are reading the wiki. Other pages on the wiki are
2 Installing Haskell
2.1 How Haskell is on OS X today
The simplest methods are currently:
- Binary GHC framework (/Library/Framework)
- Binary Haskell platform framework (/Library/Framework)
- MacPorts (/opt/local)
- Fink (/sw)
- Homebrew (symlinked into /usr/local ?)
2.2 Manually compiled
ChrisKuklewicz 11:53, 6 September 2010 (UTC) I use MacPorts for the infrastructure and compile ghc against /opt/local but with --prefix=/opt/ghc-6.12.3 to keep it separate.
2.3 Dynamic Linking
working in GHC HEAD, not in any released version.
2.4 Difficult libraries on OS X
Libraries needed for ghc
- iconv (older version in /usr is incompatible with new version from MacPorts)
- readline (faked in /usr, provided by framework or MacPorts)
- gmp (framework or MacPorts)
Libraries needed for other packages? gtk?
3 OS X Trac Tickcets
Operating System == Mac OS X tickets on Trac
4 OS X code integration
Write Haskell in XCode?
Write ObjectiveC against GHC.Framework?
FFI for Objective C from Haskell?
5 GHC is not 64 bit
6 Improvements?
A cabal2pkg that maintains proper dependency tracking?
Discussion forum for all this?

Do You Delight?
Posted by juliemomyer in Heart & Soul on December 15, 2011
Delight: Noun
1. A high degree of pleasure or enjoyment; joy; rapture.
Delight is a word most of us have no trouble using in a sentence. Abba sang about it and coincidentally it's a family name on my mother's side several generations back. But when I read Psalm 37:4, "Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart," I tried to imagine what that really meant. I mean, how do you delight yourself in the Lord in a real way?
And then I remembered these three little children. They saw their daddy standing on the other side of the room and their whole beings lit up. It was like Mickey Mouse had walked into the joint. Giggles erupted and their blonde heads bobbed, their arms and legs swinging in wild abandon as they ran to him. He was the goal, the prize. And when they reached him they threw their arms around his legs and clung, delighting in their daddy.
I thought this is the perfect picture of what God meant when he said to delight ourselves in Him. I have to admit that I need more than a little practice. 🙂

Evidence, the producer/MC who won praise and adoration of fans globally as a member of the venerable LA outfit Dilated Peoples, is primed to release his second solo full-length, Cats & Dogs, on Rhymesayers Entertainment on September 27th. With lyrical contributions from Slug of Atmosphere, Raekwon, Aloe Blacc, Prodigy, Aesop Rock, Krondon and more, Cats & Dogs is a feral demonstration of boom-bap instrumental sensibility underlying gully rhyme schemes.
Evidence's storied history in the music industry is studded with numerous achievements including a Grammy for his collaboration with Kanye West and certified gold sales of Dilated People's 3rd studio album, Neighborhood Watch. More importantly, his background as a graffiti writer and hip-hop purist has earned him reverie within the independent music community and a tightly-knit group of fans who have been rabidly awaiting this new album since Evidence's 2007 solo effort, The Weatherman LP. A new home on Rhymesayers…

It doesn't take much to be a meteorologist in Los Angeles (usually just a short skirt and the ability to say "77 degrees and sunny"), so maybe that's why the city's most famous weatherman is a rapper. Evidence is that rapper...and producer, as well as the newest signee to Rhymesayers Entertainment. But for many, the Venice-native will always be known by the title of his critically-lauded solo debut, The Weatherman.
"When some people freestyle, they say 'I'll be on the mic' or 'When i flow like this'—everyone has a crutch—and I guess that the easiest thing for me to incorporate was some kind of tornado or hurricane...or maybe it's just all the syllables and the titles with weather," Evidence says, laughing. "I can't even stay away from it."
But it's also a bigger idea that turns LA's stereotypes on their heads. Yeah, it's almost always sunny and there's a whole lot of gangster rap, but it does occasionally rain in the city of angels and the underground hip-hop scene is a thriving one. It was there that Evidence made his name, as part of the legendary trio Dilated Peoples, alongside Rakaa Iriscience and DJ Babu. Starting with The Platform in 2000, the group released four well received albums that contained several hit singles, including the Kanye West assisted smash "This Way."
However, Evidence wanted more and after seeing his name appear on a flyer as "Evidence of Dilated Peoples," he knew that he wanted his to be a brand of its own, saying "No one calls Ghostface Ghostface Killah of Wu-Tang...and that's a tribute to him as an individual artist." Despite winning a GRAMMY for co-production on Kanye's College Dropout and two JUNO's for his work with Swollen Members, Evidence wasn't yet a solo name to be recognized.
Then in 2007, Evidence released The Weatherman LP, one of the most commercially and critically successful underground rap albums of the year. A solo effort ripe with introspection that ran the gamut from all his haters to the tragic passing of his mother, it was the album his fans were waiting for. With a foundation of sample-based hip-hop classicism (something that remains important to Evidence today), his debut wove together towering bangers like "Mr. Slow Flow" and uplifting cuts like "Chase the Clouds Away." He then released The Layover EP on Decon Records and The Layover Mixtape with DJ Skee in 2008—showing marked improvement in his lyrical style—and he's been touring ever since.
Evidence's long-awaited sophomore offering, Cats & Dogs, will be released on Rhymesayers Entertainment. The album reunites the powerhouse production team from The Weatherman—including long-time friend and collaborator Alchemist, Dr. Dre-protogé DJ Khalil, DJ Babu, and Evidence himself. Cats & Dogs promises to be an expansion of the Evidence brand as the artist pushes his own boundaries...without losing the qualities that he has built his foundation on.
"I love to sell my own merch, I love to look someone in the eye and actually listen to the story they have about my music, I love to respond to people on MySpace or Twitter," Evidence says. "It's not for my ego, but yo, this is why I do this shit." And that commitment to his fans is returned 10-fold in their commitment to him, as well as something he saw in the stable of artists at Rhymesayers. Perhaps none more than label-head Slug, who guested on "Line of Scrimmage" from The Weatherman LP, and was instrumental in bringing Evidence to the Minneapolis-based indie behemoth.
"Leadership, personality and lifestyle are selling more music than the actual music. It's a person who has talent and the willingness to work at it and the social skills and accessibility to their fans and understanding of the bigger picture that makes it...and a lot of artists on Rhymesayers have cracked that code."
As has Evidence. He doesn't like using the word "fan" to describe the street wear hoodied and 59/50 fitted kids who come to his shows because he truly understands the lifestyle (and is probably wearing the same brands, too). "Brother Ali would joke on tour that all my fans dressed the same as each other...and me," Evidence laughs. From the threads to the weed to the reverence for hip-hop's history, the people who get their vinyl copy of The Platform autographed share a great deal with Evidence the artist, but also Michael Perretta the person.
So with all that love, what's the weatherman forecasting for 2011? Dilated Peoples is hard at work on their fifth full-length, Directors of Photography, and Ev is deep in the studio with The Alchemist for their anticipated collaboration, Stepbrothers. Sounds like another year of unparalleled grind...something as predictable as sunshine in LA. Unless of course, it's raining Cats & Dogs.

1957 Chevy Truck Panel Alignment
1 Attachment(s)
Hey guy's.
I'm new to the hotrodder scene and recently purchased a 1957 Chevy Truck. The truck is a great driver and real head turner but needs some cosmetic work which i am excited to learn and plan on doing this work over the winter months. The photo attached, I hope it is attached, is probably the worst alignment on the truck and it just bugs the hell out of me. The rest of the work on the truck for me should be fairly simple, brakes, wood bed and headlight ajustments. I have watched some video's on you tube but I think I would trust the help of you folks here a little more not that the info their is bad but I know alot of you guy's really now your stuff as I have lurked for long time.
Almost forgot to mention, it's the gap where the hood and the passenger fender meet.
Any helpful tips our advice would be great!
you can either reposition the hood or shift the nose over a tad. Looks like both will help as it appears to be a pretty small gap on the other side in the front. From the looks of it I don't imagine much movement up top on your fender and it also looks like addressing it at the hood would help on the other side as well.
To shift the hood loosen the right hinge to the hood and bring the hood back a tad or move your hinge towards the driver's side and tighten. If the hood sits flush to the fender up front on that side than go to the driver's side hinge and push the hood forward or towards yourself and tighten. Can also semi loosen all the hinge bolts and shift it around with your hands while closed, then carefully lift the hood up enough to get a tool in there to tighten it up.
Before doing that I would check to see if the nose is square by doing some cross measuring from a bolt in the back of the fender to one in the front on the other fender. If it's not square it will most likely need to shift towards the driver's side. You can do that by loosening the bolts on your supports and holding it in place while tightening. But only do this if it's not square.
Thanks Tech.
I have also noticed that OEM hood hinges are very weak and the firewall they are attached to seems very flimsly and thought this might be part of the problem? I was thinking going with a nice set of billit hinges but I feel these might be only as good as what they are attached to (firewall). Or go with the hinges to make your hood tilt forward when opening, thus starting over with hood placement?
I'll print your instructions when I get home this afternoon and keep you posted.
I have also noticed in the past that when I close the hood after opening, the alway's tends to lift up toward the windshield and I have to force it back into place.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Sin Wagon
|there is an interior paint available for purchase @ autozone from a rattle can, it comes in a few colors and for vinyl/hardplastic, if the directions are followed it yeilds factory appearing results....now this is assuming before mentioned panels have not begun to deteriote to the point of cracking a turning to dust as the older gm parts tend to do....a growing trend in the minitruck/streettruck community is sanding and fiberglassing interior peices and painting them with a high gloss finish to math the exterior paint scheme, this may be a great idea for you as it can also acheive a style like what you have seen in older bel-airs with steel dashes and door panels... This is not a very detailed post but if you have any specific questions ask thm and I will do my best to answer accordingly.
that 350 desiel is no boat ancore, there are people that regularly convert those to gas, and run the hell out of it. ive seen those thing make up to 1200 hp. it would be pretty pricie to make the darn thing, but it would be so worth it. would take that and a built up 200r4, and convert a ford 9" rear, then you would be in buisness.
i got lucky when i found my stuff. got all my stuff from a 442 up north that was rusting thru, but the interior was mint. got the complete interior for about $300 for a guy on another site. (oldspower.com)
plans for my 86...sinple on the outsidem good looking on the inside. including the 455 under the hood. ohhh future projects.
tell me more about your wagon
I appreciate you taking trouble to read my thread and offer advice.
The TH400 is one of the few good things about the car, no way would I part with it [its rebuilt from a '79 Pontiac]... Oh, wait you're talking about selling the trans and engine from an actual 442 coupe! Sorry, good advice.
I might consider changing engines, though. The 403 has a lotta good top-end, but is a bit lacking in torque for a 4300lb vehicle. It has only 25K on it since last rebuild [but they didn't do the valve guides; int'l vacuum leak]. A 455 would be nice, should fit nicely.
I bought the rear a few years back [it used to have a diesel-geared rear] -- although if a posi or limited-slip became available, a switch may be conceivable.
The body is not in the greatest of shape, so finding a good 'donor' body might be desirable. I wouldn't want to do anything that would change the VIN, though because she was originally a diesel, so she's emissions-exempt in VA -- I can do ANYTHING to the engine that space and funding allows.
Don't know how difficult switching from a steering column-mounted auto shift lever to a floor mount would be. Gonna need help on that one.
i would find a 442 donor car for about maby 1500-2000 bucks and gut the interior. sell the tranny and rear to make the money back. please do not find a good bodied car to gut, but a rust bucket from up north with good interior. you may need to get some of it redon.
project sounds nice, got pics of the car...
'81 Olds Station Wagon interior - MUSCULAR?
My '81 Custom Cruiser has a bored, balanced cammed 403 with a TH400, but the interior is shot and in the original nerdy configuration.
Thinking of re-doing interior with a 442-ish look, buckets, console, etc. Authenticity is not required, but I don't want it to look stupid, either.
So any of the new style bucket seats they put in Hondas would not look right. Maybe I should look for some older buckets and have them re-done.
Fortunately, there were plenty of big GM wagons of that vintage made [and a wide range of years to choose from], so interior parts shouldn't be too difficult.
Finding matching plastic parts parts is very difficult, however. would painting these parts [like the side panels in cargo area] be feasible?
So what do you think? A muscle car look for a big wagon?

Transparency ensures accountability, and Floridians can see how money they send to their government is spent through state budgets, contracts, and more resources.
The Department of Financial Services is tasked by statute to provide a way for state agencies to report their contracts to the public via FACTS. State contracts can be searched by agency name, dollar value, vendor name, or commodity/service type.
See where tax dollars go in the state budget from how much a family may pay in state taxes based on their annual adjusted money income and their taxable expenditures.
The inside track on Florida's financial health, Florida's Bottom Line is an in-depth quarterly financial newsletter, with timely statistics and news via the website.
Chief Financial Officer Jeff Atwater's Your Money Matters website offers a variety of financial tools and resources including Credit and Debit, Saving and Spending, Life Events, Small Business, Games and Calculators.
Unclaimed property held by the state consists of money from dormant accounts in financial institutions, insurance and utility companies, securities and trust holdings, and includes tangible property from abandoned safe deposit boxes.
CFO Atwater is committed to ensuring seniors have the information they need about insurance and financial transactions, so they can stay on guard to make sound decisions.
Insurance Fraud is attempting to locate these subjects in reference to outstanding warrants. The Bureau of Insurance Fraud is the law enforcement arm that investigates all types of insurance fraud.
The Division of Consumer Services helps consumers make informed insurance and financial decisions. Our dedicated and experienced staff are trained in the 26 different categories of insurance. Consumer assistance and protection is our mission.
The Florida PALM Project will ultimately lead to the replacement of FLAIR and CMS with an updated enterprise resource planning system (ERP).
Holocaust survivors and their families in Florida are being assessed an international wire transfer fee on each payment the survivor receives. In partnership with financial institutions in Florida, CFO Atwater has taken action to have the wire transfer fee waived. Fee waiver forms are available for Holocaust survivors to send to their financial institution.
We want to help you navigate the changes in the Affordable Care Act and empower you with information on how it will affect you and your family.
One out of every five adults 65 and older has been the victim of a financial scam. The Operation S.A.F.E Be Scam Smart workshops aim to inform, empower, and protect Florida's seniors from financial scams and fraud. New workshops are scheduled. You may request a workshop in your area.
The Division of Agent and Agency Services provides licensing and compliance requirements and registration for insurance agents, adjusters and agencies; bail bond, warranty, title and other agents, and provides bulletins, memorandums, industry links, laws and rules, and other information on the insurance industry.
We encourage military servicemembers and their families to join our online community forum to share personal savings stories and tips, and review our financial resources addressing the top financial challenges faced by the military.
Read all recent press releases.
The weekly Dollars & Sense Newsletter will keep you up-to-date on the latest news affecting the citizens of Florida.
The "Florida's Bottom Line" quarterly Newsletter will provide information on the status of Florida's financial health and future economic outlook.

When is the Right Time to Shoot in Self Defense? - An interview with author Chuck Klein
broken link
Yeap, link is off the track.
I've always been told to shoot only when "...my life or the lives of those around me are in imminent danger..."
draw your weapon
take two or three steps AWAY from the attacker(so that in court, you cannot be made to out to be the aggressor)
order the assailant to stand down
If the assailant does anything (run at you, point the weapon at you or others)
Of course, it's going to depend on the situation, but as my kids learn in Martial Arts, avoidance is preferable to fighting. But then, if you can't avoid it, "hit fast, hit first, hit hard".
Q - What is Bambi?
A - Viable Target
In Texas, we DO NOT have to step back anymore. Once a DEADLY WEAPON is pulled out upon you here, you have the right to SHOOT!
But, if you are in a situation where there are weapons walking around you and other innocent folks, DO NOT pull a gun and start shooting!!!! If they are robbing you let them have the money. It is NOT worth getting killed over that.
But, if they start shooting and are about to do you harm, there is no holding back then. YOU HAVE TO AT LEAST TRY AND DEFEND YOURSELF.
NEVER pull out a gun unless your life is in danger. And, there is NO OTHER way to escape. NEVER try to be the hero!!!! It is not worth getting you and or others killed!!!!
Unless you have eyes in the back of your head stepping backward is never a good idea. sideways shuffle maybe, turn sideways and walk where you can see where you are going maybe but facing the threat with both of your feet under you and maintain your balance is the only sure way you can respond effectively. Fist fight, knife fight or gun fight it doesn't make any difference. If you can't take cover and you can't out run the threat then face it.
"The thief comes to steal, kill and destroy".
I'm not a mind reader, no telling what somebody is capable of.
Before I went to Iraq people would say "if you get in that situation you're going to have to make a choice".
Bull Crap.
Once in Iraq, and put in that situation there was no choice at all. It was "holy crap", bang bang, no choice or mental deliberation involved. Target up, target down.
At my conceal/carry class, the instructor told us to memorize this phrase: "I was afraid for my safety and the safety of those around me." You bet I would draw and use my weapon if I felt this way. The key word is "safety". Doesn't just apply to the threat of dying. Sure the nut job with the knife/gun/tire iron etc. might not kill you or your family, he might just rape and beat your wife, kidnap your kids and do God knows what.
This is why my Dad always told me and my sister if we were being kidnapped to kick, scream and fight even if they were threatening to kill us, cuz they probably would anyway after doing worse.
As far as backing away, I'm clumsy enough just trying to walk forward. Might buy you a little time and a little distance, might just give the real aggressor the extra seconds they need to have the upper hand.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a mental disorder that causes above-normal levels of hyperactive and disruptive behaviors. People with ADHD tend to have difficulty concentrating, sitting still, paying attention, staying organized, following instructions, remembering details, and/or controlling impulses. One of the unfortunate complications for people with untreated ADHD is that they often have trouble getting along with their peers, family members at home, and coworkers.
For children, ADHD is perhaps most associated with problems at school. Children with ADHD often have difficulty succeeding in a controlled classroom setting; assignments become difficult obstacles, instead of productive learning experiences. Perhaps because of this—although it affects people of all ages—ADHD is more commonly diagnosed in children than in adults: A 2006 survey conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found that ADHD affects about four to six percent of American children ages five to 17 (approximately 4.5 million overall), making ADHD one of the most common childhood disorders in the United States. The survey also found that boys are twice as likely to be diagnosed as girls. The majority (50 to 70 percent) of these children will retain symptoms into adulthood, but many get better over time.
Unfortunately, ADHD can be difficult to diagnose, and many children who suffer from the condition are labeled simply as troublemakers, problem children, or, even worse, stupid or lazy. ADHD is, however, a real and serious condition, not a means of explaining away behavioral problems. Luckily, with an early diagnosis and proper treatment, children with ADHD can be just as successful as children who do not have the condition.
Types of ADHD
There is a wide range of behaviors that are symptomatic of ADHD. To make it easier to diagnose and treat, they have been grouped by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders into three categories: inattentive behavior, above-normal activity level (hyperactivity), and lack of impulse control. Children who suffer from ADHD will display behaviors in one, two, or all three of these categories. Therefore, when diagnosing ADHD, the condition is divided into three subtypes:
Predominantly Inattentive Type
This is a form of ADHD that used to be known as attention deficit disorder, or ADD. As the name suggests, children with this type of ADHD have extreme difficulty paying attention, focusing, finishing tasks, and following instructions. Experts also think that many children with an inattentive form of ADHD may be overlooked because they don't tend to disrupt the classroom. This form is most common among girls with ADHD.
Predominantly Hyperactive-Impulsive Type
Children with this type exhibit primarily hyperactive and impulsive behavior such as fidgeting, interrupting, and an inability to wait their turns. Although inattention is less of a concern with this type of ADHD, predominantly hyperactive-impulsive patients may still have some problems focusing on tasks.
Combined Hyperactive-Impulsive and Inattentive Type
This is the most common type of ADHD. Children with this combined form of ADHD display a significant number of symptoms connected to all three behavioral categories—an inability to pay attention, a tendency towards impulsiveness, and above-normal levels of activity and energy.
Adult ADHD
Adults with ADHD have typically had the disorder since childhood, but it may not have been diagnosed until later in life; an evaluation usually occurs at the prompting of a peer, family member, or coworker who has observed problems at work or in relationships. Adults can be diagnosed with any of the three subtypes of ADHD discussed above. However, due to the relative maturity and experience of adults, as well as physical differences between adults and children, adult ADHD symptoms can be somewhat different than those experienced by children. For example, adults with predominantly hyperactive-impulsive ADHD are unlikely to run and jump around. Generally, ADHD has a less severe profile in adults than in children, but there is still some debate about accurately diagnosing adult ADHD. Learn more about adult ADHD.

Trojans looking to take care of "unfinished business."
Monte Kiffin, who is regarded as one of the game's best defensive minds, is in his third year at USC as the assistant head coach after joining the Trojan staff in January of 2010. He has 46 years of coaching experience on the collegiate and NFL levels, having been on the staffs of programs that won 2 national championships and a Super Bowl.
In 2011, USC improved from the previous year in rushing, total and scoring defense, with the rushing defense (111.4) and sack averages ranking in the national Top 20. USC held 8 of its 12 opponents to 17 points or less.
He was the defensive coordinator at Tennessee in 2009. The Volunteers were 12th nationally in both pass defense and pass efficiency defense and 22nd in total defense in 2009.
He spent 26 seasons (1983-2008) in the NFL, including the last 13 of those as the defensive coordinator with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, where he refined and popularized the famous Tampa Cover 2 defense. Eleven of his Buccaneer defenses ranked among the NFL's Top 10 in total defense and scoring defense, a league record. He was a member of the 2002 Super Bowl champions that led the league in total defense, scoring defense and interceptions. Six other Buccaneer squads advanced to the NFC playoffs during his time there.
His other NFL stops included the Green Bay Packers (1983 coaching the linebackers), Buffalo Bills (1984-85 coaching the linebackers), Minnesota Vikings (1986-89 coaching the linebackers and 1991-94 as defensive coordinator the first year and then handling the inside linebackers), New York Jets (1990 coaching the linebackers) and New Orleans Saints (1995 as the defensive coordinator). During his stints with the Vikings, they led the NFL in total defense in 1988, 1989 and 1994 (they were second in 1992) and advanced to the NFC playoffs 6 times.
Before going to the NFL, the 71-year-old Kiffin spent 17 seasons at the college level. He began as an assistant for 11 years at Nebraska (1966-76), his alma mater, handing the defensive line the first 7 seasons before becoming the defensive coordinator in 1973 when Tom Osborne took over for Bob Devaney. He was on the staff of Nebraska's 1970 and 1971 national champions. The Cornhuskers played in 9 bowls during his time there, including in his final 8 seasons (1967-74 Sugar, 1969 Sun, 1971-72-73 Orange, 1974 Cotton, 1975 Fiesta, 1976 Bluebonnet).
He then was the defensive coordinator under Lou Holtz at Arkansas for 3 seasons (1977-79), adding the assistant head coach title his final year there. The Razorbacks led the nation in scoring defense in 1977. Arkansas played in a bowl each season (1978 Orange, 1978 Fiesta, 1980 Sugar).
He next became the head coach at North Carolina State for 3 seasons (1980-82). He went 16-17, with winning records his last 2 seasons.
After being the Nebraska high school Player of the Year in 1958 while at Lexington (Neb.) High, he was a two-way tackle at Nebraska (1959-63) and the Cornhuskers played in the 1964 Orange Bowl when he was a senior. He then spent 1965 as a defensive end with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the Canadian Football League (he sat out the 1964 season with a knee injury).
He earned his bachelor's degree in physical education from Nebraska in 1963.
He was born on Feb. 29, 1940. He and his wife, Robin, have 2 sons, Lane (USC's head coach), 37, and Chris (a defensive assistant at USC in 2010 and now the defensive line coach at Mississippi after previously serving at Arkansas State), 30, and a daughter, Heidi, 43.
BIRTHDAY: Feb. 29, 1940

Winemaker Joseph J. Wagner is a fourth-generation winemaker from a family with farming and winemaking roots in the Napa Valley since 1906. The name Belle Glos (pronounced BELL GLOSS), honors Joseph's grandmother, Lorna Belle Glos Wagner, a co-founder of Caymus Vineyards. View all Belle Glos Wines
About Santa Maria Valley
Situated near the ocean in the larger Santa Barbara district, the Santa Maria Valley appellation runs east to west. Pacific Ocean air funnels in to cool the vineyards, allowing the grapes to evenly ripen and reach their full potential. This unique climate paired with the region's well-drained soils helps create some sought-after grapes.
Notable FactsPinot Noir and Chardonnay are the most planted varieties in the AVA, which covers over 7,000 acres of land. Syrah is gaining more ground as it consistantly produces outstanding wines. Many vineyards are owned by growers and sold to wineries, so seeing a vineyard name on multiple producer's bottles is common. One of the better known vineyards, Bien Nacido, is found on the labels of some of the most prestigious wines of the area.
About California
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

Kiela's Final Round Helps Green Bay Finish in Third

PEORIA, Ill. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – Freshman Gene Kiela (Plymouth, Wis.) fired a 2-under par 70 on Sunday in round three, helping the Green Bay men's golf team to a third place finish at the 54-hole Bradley Invitational played this weekend at the 7,030-yard, par-72 Weaver Ridge Golf Club in Peoria, Ill.
After an opening round team score of 311, the Phoenix shaved nine shots off its score (302) in round two before closing the event with a 2-over par 290. Green Bay finished with a 54-hole total of 903, nine shots behind Valparaiso and seven back of the host Bradley.
Kiela had rounds of 76 and 74 before his closing 70 left him in a tie for sixth place. All five Phoenix golfers posted at least one sub-75 round in the event, including four players on Sunday. Sophomore Tom Boockmeier (Green Bay, Wis.) had an even par round of 72 while seniors Cam Fuller (Sturgeon Bay, Wis.) and Chad Ebert (Kenosha, Wis.) both carded 74s.
