I was forwarding a email to one of my contacts and I noticed on my contact list is a box marked Adult Chat. I have no clue as to how it got there and I can't seem to remove it. I am using MSN Hotmail account and my operating system is windows 7. Obviously, Hotmail nor McAfee picked this one up.
Al, it seems like spammers are always finding new ways to harass us online. In your case, having "Adult Chat" in your contact list isn't just potentially malicious; it's also embarrassing. You certainly don't want your family or co-workers to think you're up to no good.
McAfee didn't notice this uninvited contact because it isn't a virus or infection, so there isn't really anything to detect. What's happening here is that you're being invited to the Adult Chat Hotmail group. Hotmail groups allow members to communicate more easily, and one member can quickly send a message to the entire group. When the spammer sends you the invitation to the Adult Chat group, the name of that group shows up in your contact list, whether you've accepted the invitation or not. Adult Chat positions itself so that it can't be deleted like other contacts.
Fortunately, the fix for this one is easy. Log into your Hotmail account on the Windows Live website. Click the "Contacts" button on the left side of the window. Click on "View invitations" under the "Your friends" heading. Hotmail may not give an indication that you have any invitations, so you'll always have to click this button to find out.
On the invitations screen, you'll see Adult Chat listed under the Groups heading. Simply click the "No, thanks" button to deny the request, and watch Adult Chat disappear from your contacts list. If strange names start appearing in your contacts list again, remember to come back here to check the invitations screen.
Once you've gotten rid of Adult Chat, you can change your settings so you don't have to deal with this problem again. To do that, click the "Change your invitation settings" link above Groups. Click the button next to "Private" and click "Save" to apply the change.
By setting your privacy options to Private, no one can send you invitations. Only your friends can see your status, profile, contact information and photo albums. Also, only people you approve can find you when they search for you by name. If you want everyone to be able to find you in search and see your profile, but you want to stop getting invitations from those you don't know, click "Advanced". Under the "Who can contact me" section, click the slider next to "Friend and group invitations." Drag the slider to choose your desired privacy setting. Selecting "No one" will block everyone from sending you group invitations. You can also choose to only allow invitations from friends or from people your friends know. When you're done choosing a setting, click "Save."
Turning off invitations, or at least keeping an eye on them, will usually prevent most Hotmail spammers from posing as your contacts. If you're concerned that spammers have infected your computer, consider running an anti-virus scanning program for peace of mind. Free programs, like SUPERAntiSpyware and Ad-Aware, do a good job at removing worms, spyware, and other problems.

Make Sure Your Car's Ready For Winter!
You know that winter and bad weather are coming. Is your car ready? Here's a quick checklist of things to get up to speed on:
Motor oil: Motor oil has a tendency to thicken in cold weather, making it harder to circulate to upper engine parts at startup. If you haven't ever used synthetic oil before, this might be a good time to start. The flow properties of synthetic oil are a lot more consistent, meaning it doesn't thicken in sub-freezing temperatures or thin out when it's hot outside.
Wipers: Even the best windshield wipers only last about a year. If your wipers are showing cracks or chips or losing strips of rubber, go ahead and replace them. Don't forget to refill your washer fluid reservoir…you' ...[more]
No Spare Tire?
Regular, Synthetic or Blend...What Kind of Oil Do I Need?
At one time, there were only a couple of choices for motor oil. Today, that is no longer the case, and hasn't been for quite some time. Here's a quick breakdown of what you need to consider when it's time for an oil change:
- Viscosity: Viscosity is how thick your oil is, and how it retains its pour properties at various temperatures. In this respect, synthetic oil is far superior. Conventional oils will thicken in cold weather and thin out when very hot, while the viscosity of synthetic is much more uniform. Check your owner's manual -- many newer models require a thinner, lower-viscosity oil, which also helps the engine run more efficiently. Viscosity is expressed as a numerical value -- the lower the number, the thinner the oil. Many are designed to work a ...[more]
The Latest in Green Tech Innovations for Tires
When it comes to your car, oil isn't the only thing there's a finite supply of. Rubber has its limits too, and it's estimated by 2020, the supply of natural rubber in the world may be outstripped by demand. And of course, tires require a great deal of oil to produce as well. Tire manufacturers are constantly looking for ways to innovate and conserve resources in tire production. Here are some recent advances:
- Dandelions: Yes, those humble yellow flowers you try to eliminate from your yard. Dandelions actually contain a minute amount of latex in their milky oil, and research shows they can actually produce about as much latex, pound-for-pound, as rubber plants. German scientists have cultivated 1-foot-tall dandelions for just this purpose. This isn't a new development, either -- in WWII, Amer ...[more]
4 Things About Tires You May Not Have Known
Tires all look sort of the same…round and black…and people tend to think tires don't change much over the years. That's really not true, though – engineers and designers are constantly working on advances in tire designs for more miles, better fuel economy and better performance.
Here's a rundown of current trends in tire technology you may not have been aware of:
- Tall, skinny tires are coming back. If you've ever ridden a beach cruiser bike vs. a racing bike, you know that skinny tires have lower rolling resistance. Carmakers are going in that direction, too – the BMW i3 electric/plug-in hybrid uses Bridgestone Ecopia tires, with higher inflation pressure and a taller, skinnier profile. Tall, skinny tires also redu ...[more]
Cars That Last 250,000 Miles or More
If you're old enough, you probably remember the cars from the late 70s and early 80s that weren't good for much more than 120,000 miles before they started to develop real problems and were junkyard bound. Today, thanks to improvements in design, metallurgy, manufacturing techniques and machining, those days are over and it's not at all unusual to see vehicles with well over 200,000 miles on the odometer and still running strong.
Here's a quick rundown of some vehicles to consider which have a track record of being good for 250k miles or more:
- Toyota Corolla: Probably not a surprise to fans of Toyotas, the simple, no-frills Corolla hasn't changed much since the early 00s…but Toyota's approach to the tried-and-true Corolla ...[more]
Self-Inflating Tires…Soon To Be A Reality?
Driving around on underinflated tires is just a bad idea all the way around. Underinflated tires increase a car's rolling resistance, meaning a drop in fuel efficiency since it takes more energy to move the vehicle down the road.
A single tire that's down by ten pounds of air means a 3.3 percent drop in fuel economy…multiply that by all four tires, and you can figure on giving up ten percent of your gas mileage. The added friction and rolling resistance also means more heat is generated, and heat is the enemy of the internal structure of a tire. That heat will damage a tire to the point of failure. Studies show that underinflated tires are a full 25 percent more likely to fail, and at least half of one-car accidents involve a tire problem as a factor. And still, it's estimated ...[more]
Questions You Shouldn't Be Afraid to Ask Your Auto Repair Tech
Often, drivers are mystified by how their cars actually work. It's to be expected. Even an older car is a complex machine with many sub-assemblies that all work together to move it down the road.
As a result, drivers tend to be a little intimidated by auto repair and often tend to not inform themselves by asking the necessary questions of a tech or a garage. Too often, that ends up being a big mistake. Here are some examples of the kinds of things you really should know before any auto repair work starts:
- Does your shop work on any kind of vehicle? Of course, most shops can service a product from GM, Ford, Chrysler, Nissan, Toyota and the other leading makes. Some makes, however, require a lot more training and experience, o ...[more]
Mixing Tires – Bad Idea
In a perfect world, all four tires would wear out at the same time. In the same perfect world, everyone would be able to afford a whole set of tires all at once. Unfortunately, things often just do not work out that way.
Sometimes you may just have to replace tires as you can afford them, one or two at a time, but there are some important things to bear in mind if you have to do that.
If you can only afford to replace one or two tires, it's essential that you go with tires that are identical (or at least as close as possible) to the car's remaining tires. That means that internal construction, size, tread pattern and design should be close to the same. Don't mix winter tires with all-season tires, don't mix run-flat tires with ...[more]

Alaska Research Summer Challenge Interns Conclude Three Months of Development
Arctic Region Supercomputing Center August 9, 2005
Alaska Research Summer Challenge Interns Conclude Three Months of Development
Theresa Turner 's response to her first encounter with FORTRAN code was not what she expected.
"I screamed," she says. "I didn't think there was anyone in the world who could read this." The determined Mathematics and Computer Science student from University of South Carolina-Aiken had been an Arctic Region Supercomputing Center Intern for only one day.
Rather than giving up, Turner pursued the challenge and found out that the code had been garbled by the application – no one in the world could read this code the way it was presented. "Once the code was restored to a readable format, I knew I at least had a chance," she says.
After establishing a working knowledge of four programming languages in a matter of weeks, she enhanced the run speed of a visualization program used by her to study tundra frost boil conditions.
Theresa is just one of 12 interns at ARSC participating in the Alaska Research Summer Challenge,sponsored by the National Science Foundation. The Alaska Research Summer Challenge has been built around creating opportunities to promote research skills in the interns, while offering them access to a state-of-the-art supercomputing facility, encouraging professional growth and giving them experience with advanced computer science applications in a real world environment.
The program was designed to challenge the interns with high expectations for their contributions to scientific investigations. In addition to pushing themselves in a technical programming environment, the interns have had abundant opportunity for adventures in the midnight sun. From trips to the Brooks Range to camping on glaciers in Denali, the interns have experienced one of the most beautiful landscapes in America – interior Alaska in the summer time.
Theresa says the biggest challenge for her will be getting on the plane back to South Carolina. "I feel like I'm home right now," she says. "I have four months to graduate, and I'm looking for work in Alaska. This place feels like home."
Each of the twelve interns has a story to share about the accelerated challenges that they faced and conquered to develop skills necessary for academic and professional goals for the future. The interns will be available to talk about their experiences until August 18. For appointment or more information contact:
Jenn Wagaman, ARSC Public Affairs Coordinator, (907) 450-8662, email@example.com The interns are:
Christian Servin from University of Texas at El Paso; Jesus Corral from University of Texas at El Paso;Cory Mohn for Northland College, Wisconsin;Michael Bauer from New Mexico Mining and Technology; Reese Stoltzfus from Grinnell College, Iowa; Henry Kozachkov from New York University;Zachary Marlow from North Carolina State University; Teresa Guan from Arizona State University; Joel McEwen from Texas Southern University; Huynh Nguyen from Mississippi State University; and Luis Perez from University of Texas at El Paso.

S-e-x (The 3-letter word)
by Dr. Susan Pomeranz
Let's talk about sex. As a culture we're obsessed with it. Just flip through any magazine at your local bookstore or checkout stand. You'll see: Are you hot enough? Is your penis big enough? Hard enough? Are your breasts perky or do they point downwards towards Mexico? And then they offer all these groundbreaking statistics like "81% of couples use some kind of food item as part of their lovemaking."
Also, apparently there are now 36 G spots. Actually, that's 35 more than I knew about. Come on, where do they get this stuff anyway? Besides fostering absurd comparisons and oodles of self-doubt, these magazines have made it all about mechanics. Have we forgotten about truly loving each other? Why do we look outside of ourselves to see what's "normal" or how we should be, versus looking inside for what feels right? It doesn't matter if you make love daily, only in months that start with "J," or haven't had sex since Melrose Place left prime time. Frequency is not the issue. What matters is what's right for you and your partner. Are you able to fully express your hearts and share the deepest parts of yourselves with each other? Is there a reciprocity to your loving that grows and evolves as you do?
I can't tell you how many couples come into my office with "sexual" issues. "She's too tired." "He's too mired." "He's not exciting." "She's not inviting." They're forgetting that the real issue lies in the offering. The question they should be asking is, "What do I bring to the table? Am I loving? Interesting? Interested? Sexy? Available? Kind?" Isn't sex just a barometer for what's going on in a relationship, anyway?
I often tell couples to stop having sex: Just stop—game over. It's no longer about orgasm. Instead it's about all the ways we can be pleasuring and intimate with each other. It's amazing the levels of connection and tenderness and playfulness people discover when they stop focusing on the Big O.
I had an interesting experience many years ago (Mom, don't read this). You know how during sex you often start thinking that you're too fat or too flat or too something, and you try to position yourself (no way am I getting on top!) to downplay whatever body flaws you think you have? And you become so obsessed with negative thoughts that it's impossible for you to just BE in the moment?
Well, this happened to me, but from the other side. I had a partner who felt he was overweight and was completely self-conscious and self-absorbed—a preoccupation that made sex a total drag. I didn't care if he was fat or thin or big or small. I just wanted him to be there, with me.
Again, it's not about your body parts or how long you last or how bendy you are. It's about being present and loving and listening to yourself and each other.
Optional Assignment
Think about what you bring to all your relationships, sexual or not. If you want more love in your life be more loving. Want sweet? Be sweet. Want compassion? Humor? Understanding? You get the idea. Just be what you want. The worst that could happen is you'll be a better you.

From HaskellWiki
About some of that "Functor/Applicative/Monad" business, a little equivalence formula that's worked well for me goes like so:
Just to refresh, (=<<) is the reversed bind. Also, 'ap' is the Monad version of the applicative operator, (<*>) - see the Control.Applicative module for more help.
Usually, I stay away from using liftM, since it's identical to fmap, only confined to Monads, as 'ap' is to (<*>). However, the other liftMn functions are a nice generalization of the zipWithn family to Monads. The benefits of that, I'll leave for another discussion.

Hope my edit is OK, about Monads as composable computation descriptions whose essence is separation of composition timeline from the run time. That's my hard won insight anyhow. WillNess 12:22, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

The matches against NC Central, High Point and Davidson will mark Green Bay's first-ever meetings with all three schools.
NC Central enters the Wildcat Classic with a 2-11 record and most recently went 1-3 at the Kennesaw State Owls Classic last weekend. The Eagles' lone win in the tournament was a 3-0 sweep of Tennessee State on Saturday. NCCU is led by freshman Christine Anthony, who has a team-high 154 kills while hitting .213, as well as a team-best 83 digs.
High Point boasts an 8-4 overall record and is coming off a 3-1 road win at Elon on Tuesday. The Panthers went 2-1 last weekend at their home tournament, starting the HPU Classic with a 3-2 win over George Mason, dropping its second match to Loyola Marymount 1-3, and finishing strong with a 3-1 win over Virginia Tech. Annemarie Chin earned HPU Classic MVP honors after coming up with a career-high 23 digs against the Hokies, while Chelsea Davis was also named to the all-tournament team. Senior Courtney Johnk leads the Panthers with 160 kills (3.2 per set) on the year, hitting .253.
Davidson enters its home tournament with a 3-4 record, coming off a tough weekend at the North Florida Invitational. The Wildcats dropped all three of its matches in five sets, falling to Presbyterian, Florida A&M and North Florida. Senior libero Molly Crenshaw recorded 36 digs in the tournament finale, helping her earn all-tournament honors. Junior Caroline Brown is tops on the team in kills for the 2012 season with 110, averaging 3.44 per set.
Green Bay went 1-1 last weekend at the South Dakota State Jackrabbit Invitational in Brookings, S.D., playing in a pair of exciting five-set matches. The Phoenix dropped a heartbreaker to SDSU on Friday after jumping out to a 2-0 lead, and then bounced back to defeat Bradley on Saturday after trailing 2-0. Junior Monica Anderson (Cottage Grove, Wis.) paced the Phoenix with 36 kills in the two matches, including a career-high 20 in the comeback win over the Braves. Anderson earned all-tournament honors along with teammate Leah Poel (Jenison, Mich.), who posted a pair of double-doubles while recording 98 assists, 28 digs and 14 kills on the weekend.
Before getting on the plane to North Carolina, Phoenix head coach Debbie Kirch joined host Ryan Hartwig in studio to recap the Jackrabbit Invitational and preview this weekend's Davidson Wildcat Classic.
The Wildcat Classic marks the end of Green Bay's month-long, nine-match road stretch. The Phoenix returns home next weekend to open Horizon League play against Cleveland State (Friday, 7 p.m.) and Youngstown State (Saturday, 4 p.m.) at the Kress Center. They will be Green Bay's first home matches since hosting the Country Inn & Suites Tournament on Aug. 24-25.

Providence, Rhode Island - Senior Andrew Feinberg and junior Parker Brownscored four goals each to lead the 20th ranked Brown men's lacrosse team to a 13-4 season opening victory over Quinnipiac at Meister-Kavan Field.
Brown opened a 6-0 lead midway through the second quarter and never looked back. Feinberg and Parker had two goals each in the opening salvo, while seniorDavid Hawley and sophomore Alex Jones added a goal each.
Quinnipiac got on the scoreboard when Jack Oppenheimer scored with 6:33 left in the second quarter. Parker Brown's third goal with 5:07 remaining gave Brown a 7-1 advantage at intermission.
Senior defenseman Matt Greenburg scored for the Bears to open the third quarter, but Quinnipiac's Kevin Kelly scored to cut the Bears lead to 8-2 after three quarters.
The fourth quarter was all Brown, with sophomore George Sherman scoring his first of the season to open the quarter, Finenberg netting two goals, and Hawley and Brown one goal each.
Excelling in net for the Bears was senior Matt Chriss, who registered 14 saves, while allowing just three goals. Freshman Will Round came into the game for the Bears with five minutes remaining and registered a save. Kevin Benzing played all 60 minutes for the Bobcats and made 10 saves.
The Bears out-shot the Bobcats by a 47-34 margin. Brown was also strong in the face-off x, winning 14 of 20 face-offs, led by senior Seth Ratner, who won 10 of 13 face-offs.
Brown returns to action next Saturday, March 5, traveling to Amherst, Massachusetts to face UMass. Game time is 1:00 p.m. at Garbor Field.

Buju Banton Drug Case Declared a Mistrial
A jury could not reach a unanimous decision after three days of deliberation in the drug conspiracy case against reggae star Buju Banton. The 12-person jury was split forcing U.S. District Judge James Moody to declare a mistrial in the case.
Buju faced life in prison if convicted of the charges, which included conspiracy to possess and distribute cocaine. He denied an attempt to purchase drugs at an undercover police warehouse in December of 2009 during his four-day trial in Miami, Fla. Buju told the courtroom last week that he had arrived at the warehouse expecting to inspect a boat, and was very surprised when he saw the cocaine, which he then tasted, according to surveillance video.
Banton referred to himself as a "humble musician" who was merely "talking crap" during his conversation with the prosecution's lead witness. "I talk too much, but I am not a drug dealer," Buju reportedly old the court in his own defense. "When I realized this was real drugs, I thought, 'This is a real drug dealer, and I want no part of it … I was in over my head."
Banton's attorney is asking that the singer be released on bond.

Previous story:
Turns out a littoral combat ship will be headed to Hawaii this summer after all.
Adm. Jon Greenert, chief of naval operations, told an audience in Washington Monday that the Independence will operate off Hawaii as part of the huge Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) exercises to take place in June and July.
The move reverses an earlier decision that kept the Independence, along with the other three littoral combat ships in service, in southern California, carrying out tests and various exercises.
The recently commissioned Coronado, sister ship of the Independence, is participating in RIMPAC, but only in the waters off San Diego.
A spokesman for the US Pacific Fleet in Pearl Harbor confirmed the Independence will take part in the seagoing phase of the exercises, scheduled to run July 6 through July 25.
"From the beginning of the RIMPAC 2014 planning process, we have looked for opportunities to involve our littoral combat ships. USS Coronado (LCS 4) has always been scheduled for the mine warfare and dive training portion off Southern California, that will also include USS Champion, USS Scout, a Canadian minesweeper and forces from seven other countries," Capt. Darryn James said.
"In addition to USS Coronado's RIMPAC participation, we recently modified the operational schedule of USS Independence (LCS 2) so that it will take part in the exercise portion off Hawaii. We remain confident both ships will continue to achieve future milestones and certifications."
Freedom, the first LCS, took part in the 2010 RIMPAC exercises, and Navy leaders have frequently cited that experience as a significant event in getting the new type of ship to sea.
But no LCS showed up in 2012 for the biannual exercises — said to be the largest naval exercises in the world — and planners had not scheduled any of the four ships to visit Pearl Harbor. More than two dozen foreign ships are expected to voyage to Hawaii to join a similar number of US Navy ships in the exercises.
A highlight of this year's events will be the first-time seagoing participation of the Chinese Navy. A four-ship squadron is coming to Pearl — a destroyer, frigate, replenishment ship and hospital ship — and will undoubtedly garner a major share of media attention.
With an LCS now headed for Hawaii, the American ship is also likely to attract a bright media spotlight. ■

Obamacare 'Navigators' Source of Controversy in Texas
Everything about Obamacare is controversial. 1200 WOAI news reports Democrats and Republicans are now squabbling over the so called 'navigators,' federal employees who will be hired to help people sign up for insurance through the new 'exchanges' which will start operating October first.
Perry sent a letter to State Insurance Commissioner Julia Rathgerber saying the state must protect Texans by adopting stricter regulations than the federal government specifies for the 'navigators.'
"We to make sure rules are in place to make sure navigators have a level of ability and accountability," said Josh Havens, Perry's spokesman.
One of the rules allows the state to charge the navigators a licensing fee. Another would limit the amount of time that people could act as navigators.
"These are competence rules to make sure that these navigators are properly trained to collect and protect the private information of Texans," Havens said.
Republicans have long been concerns about the role of the navigators in the Affordable Care Act. In many states, 'navigators' are made up of former members of President Obama's 'Organizing for America' grass roots organization, and in some cases labor union employees are being trained as navigators. Some states even allow navigators to register people to vote, and Republicans say the navigators are actually Democratic Party campaign operatives.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services responded that Perry's move is a 'blatant attempt to add cumbersome requirements' to Obamacare.
"It is a hostile environmental right now, by those who are not spending much time even attempting to lead in a responsible way," said State Sen. Kirk Watson (D-Austin) who wrote the law allowing the navigators to practice in Texas.
Texas has the highest rate of uninsured in the country, fully one in four Texans is without health insurance. Texas is refusing to set up its own insurance exchange, which will require Texans to seek out insurance on the federal exchanges.

Solar Company Satcon Technology Files for Bankruptcy

Satcon's financial demise was caused by increased competition with Chinese companies and decreased demand for solar power installations around the world
It's just not a good week for renewable energy companies. Just one day after
A123 Systems filed for bankruptcy
, solar company Satcon Technology has now filed for Chapter 11.
Satcon Technology, which is a Boston-based company that develops solar inverters, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection today as a result of the poor state of the solar power industry as well as financial earnings. It filed its petitions in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware.
Satcon's financial demise was caused by increased competition with Chinese companies and decreased demand for solar power installations around the world.
From 2005-2011, the solar company posted annual financial losses. It also reported losses in the first six months of 2012, and announced that it would reduce its workforce by 35 percent in January. Around that same time, Satcon also mentioned closing a factory in Canada.
"This has been a difficult time for Satcon," said Steve Rhoades, Satcon's president and CEO. "After careful consideration of available alternatives, the company's Board of Directors determined that the Chapter 11 filings were a necessary and prudent step, allowing the company to continue to operate while giving us the opportunity to reorganize with a stronger balance sheet and capital structure. Our goal is for Satcon to emerge from bankruptcy reorganization and continue to provide our customers with the quality products that they need."
Satcon isn't the only solar company to file for bankruptcy. In September 2011, solar panel company
Solyndra filed for bankruptcy
after receiving a $535 million loan from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). After that, a line of other alternative energy companies also filed for Chapter 11 after receiving government loans, such as
Beacon Power
, a flywheel maker for grid efficiency that received $43 million in 2010, and
, an electric vehicle (EV) battery maker whose EnerDel subsidiary won a $118.5 million grant in 2009.
Just yesterday,
EV battery maker A123 Systems
filed for bankruptcy. It was reported that A123 was missing loan payments and finally decided to sell its automotive business assets to Johnson Controls, which is a company that optimizes energy efficiency in car batteries, buildings and electronics. The total value of the transaction was $125 million.

Never actually tried it, but my WAG is that it would be mostly gimmick. The detonation sending the rock salt through the barrel would likely fracture the salt into smaller pieces. Than and the irregular surface wouls give extremely poor aerodynamic as well as ballistic performance. Very short effective range and little practical value, IMO. Having done rice in my BB Gun barrel as a kid, shooting at lizards and such, performance was crappy at best and inconsistent. If you are looking to be eco-friendly with rock salt over conventional shot, you aren't thinking about your defense capabilities very practically. Otherwise, rock salt would easily be defeated by most clothing anyway (lack of mass as well as the density of projectile material).
I am not a scientist nor did I sleep at a Holiday Inn Express last night. Just sayin' that it would make a lot of noise and the effective range seems a waste of effort compared to many other options in the SD/HD realm.

RELEVANT's Top 10 TV Shows of 2012
December 26, 2012
We're living in the golden age of television. That's a fact. Past years have had their bright spots—The Wire, Arrested Development and Seinfeld, for example—but never has television offered so much in the way of quality viewing at one time.
Admittedly, you could make the case that it's never had so much in the way of miserable dreck either, but you've got to take some good with the bad. Gone are the days when television was just a box that rotted your brain. These days, there's plenty of television that provides thinking viewers with enriching, mentally and emotionally stimulating entertainment, and we've gathered our picks for this year's best. We didn't include shows with gratuitous sexual content (sorry, Game of Thrones) or violence (you too, American Horror Story) or shows that started promising but then got bewilderingly bad (looking at you, Homeland). But here's what we did include ...
10. New Girl
It was a rocky start, but Her Royal Adorkableness finally achieved lift-off as the anchor of one of television's best ensembles. While New Girl was advertised as Zooey Deschanel and her madcap roommates' crazy hijinks in the big city, the show is at its best when it's showcasing something more humble and normal: Millennials grappling with the realization that they are no longer young.
9. Community
The troubles NBC's sitcom faced this year were myriad. Critical praise that never manifested viewership. Highly publicized feuds between Chevy Chase and the show's creators. The universally condemned firing of creator and showrunner Dan Harmon. The will-it-happen-or-will-it-won't return date of the next season (which has been confirmed for February 7—for now). And yet, in the midst of all that, Community managed to be one of the year's sharpest comedies, lobbing barbs at television tropes and pop culture trends at a dizzying pace, with long-running, hyper-meta jokes that had fans combing through episodes in slow-mo, looking for dozens of set-ups and punchlines that were impossible to catch on first viewing.
8. Louie
Louis C.K. likes to pitch himself as an everyman: a divorced father of two who just happens to have an audience to whom he can say whatever's he thinking—and often does, by way of unsettlingly honest, often profane but undeniably smart comedy routines. But with the third season of Louie, it's becoming evident that he's a long way from an everyman. Underneath the crass joshing and bleak plot resolutions lies a gifted writer/director/storyteller whose observations of human nature—in all its kindnesses and cruelties—makes him something of a modern Mark Twain: someone who, in leaving no stone of his own psyche unturned, is actually showing us the best and worst of ourselves.
7. The Walking Dead
The worst thing that ever happened to this series was its getting written off as a "that zombie show." The Walking Dead is about zombies in much the same way that Friday Night Lights was about football. That is, zombies provide a backdrop for marvelous narratives on the nature of family and community and just how precious humanity becomes when its demise is imminent. If the idea of the undead makes you a little skittish, you might give The Walking Dead a shot anyway. (Hint: The title isn't referring to the zombies.)
6. The Daily Show With Jon Stewart
The Daily Show has been going since 1996 (Stewart took over hosting duties from Craig Kilborn in 1999), which is a good run for any show. But it's a spectacular achievement for The Daily Show, whose singular blend of satire, news, politics, comedy and pop culture remains unparalleled and has only gotten better since its conception. This year's election coverage provided the show with dozens of easy targets, but that's the thing about Jon Stewart: He never goes for the low-hanging fruit when there are other, higher, more interesting laughs to be mined. This year, Stewart's target demographic frequently found itself on the receiving end of his skewers, as Stewart continued to show he's not just one of the funniest people in news reporting; he's also one of the smartest.
5. Breaking Bad
There was a lot of talk about how this year's (half) season of Breaking Bad wasn't as good as past seasons. That's true, so it's saying something that this show is still one of television's surest bets. In turns, the tale of Walt White's evolution from high school teacher to drug kingpin will have you biting your nails in terror and then, in the next scene, quietly reflecting on morality. While White has become positively devious, Jesse Pinkman, the young meth addict/dealer, has become the show's moral anchor, turning in one the best performances you're likely to find anywhere this decade. Add to that what might be television's strongest cast of supporting characters and you'll see why we wish the rest of television was half as good as Breaking Bad's worst season.
4. Parenthood
If Kleenex isn't advertising during Parenthood, it ought to start. There's no better time to pitch television viewers on a product to dry the tears that are almost sure to flow at some point during Parenthood's gentle tale of the Braverman family. In a way, the show is a bit like Seinfeld, but where that show made us laugh ar the meaninglessness of everyday life, Parenthood makes us realize the tender beauty of it. It'll make you cry. It'll make you cheer. It'll make you want to stop strangers in the street to make sure they're watching it. That's more than most of us figured television would ever amount to.
3. Parks and Recreation
Parks and Rec spent its lackluster first season as an Office clone, so we've got to give credit to the show's crack writing staff for realizing it had the raw material to make something wholly unique. It's a realization the writers spent the next few seasons honing, and what they have now is a show that rivals The Office at its peak. But where that show was at its best when lampooning the hopeless plight of Dunder-Mifflin's employees, the parks and rec department of Pawnee, Ind., has a joyous zest for work. Even avowed grouches like the lovably Libertarian Ron Swanson and sweet-and-sour April Ludgate can be caught enjoying themselves when faced with the prospect of working for the common good of their workplace family. The Office said "no matter how hard you work, your job doesn't matter." Parks and Rec says, "Your job matters because you work hard." Which show would you rather watch?
2. Sherlock
Three episodes. That's exactly how long the second series of BBC's modern-day retelling of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's brilliant detective and his loyal, slack-jawed sidekick lasts. But each episode is so smartly scripted, so expertly shot and so richly engrossing that the show easily warrants this spot on the list of this year's television achievements. Every single scene is infused with a robust, invigorating energy. You'll try to keep up with the famed resident of Baker Street, searching every frame of the show for clues amidst the dark and dangerous underbelly of London he finds himself in. But as in the novels, Holmes and his keen mind always prove to be one step ahead. It's doubtful Doyle ever knew his character could be as smartly realized as Benedict Cumberbatch has made him.
1. Mad Men
Although it is not a matter of common knowledge, Mad Men quietly turned in one of its very best seasons this year. That's not to say there weren't some hiccups—the show's habit of symbolism got a little heavy-handed, and some characters' arcs played against fan wishes. But where else on television could you see moments of such devastating power? Sally Draper's dreadful coming of age. Lane Pryce's bottomless despair. The less said about Joan Holloway's promotion, the better. Over it all, the series' true north: its character study of Don Draper. A few people—Emmys voters included—seemed to think Mad Men had a bad season, and they are the same people who think the show is about fancy clothes and whiskey. The people who know the show is actually about something deeper, more human, and more abstract know that Mad Men has never been this good.

Ive opened them up to 5.45 with great results but aint tried 7.62, keep us informed
well i been playing around with an old DPMS 5.56 bolt i bought a couple years ago. back when you could get them for $24--LOL
i opened it up to 5.45x39 a couple years back. though the bolt worked OK i never really liked it because i didn't think the base of the round fit 100% flush with the bolt face.
i thought i would open it up a little more to fix this problem and i over did it--it was then leaving 5.46 cases in the barrel.
after giving it a year or so in the "junk box" i took it out today and thought "what the heck?" a couple more turns and it will be opened up to 7.62x39 anyway and if i break the thing --i ain't lost nothing.
about 10 seconds of cutting and a 7.62x39 round fits perfectly! ironically the 5.56 ejector and extractor work perfectly well with the 7.62x39 rounds to boot!
my head-space looks to be a couple .000s more open yet still in the limits.
the only thing it the bolt after being turned and cut looks a shade thinner in the webs than a factory made bolt so it certainly ain't "stronger" by any means--LOL this is due to the "getto/bubba" way i had to cut and open it up.
i did corner the two lugs near the extractor and trimmed the #7 lug a bit shorter.
i am going to test fire it some time today-- LOL!
Ive opened them up to 5.45 with great results but aint tried 7.62, keep us informed
I have opened up several 5.56 bolts to 5.45 size for use with 9mm with a lathe and either a end mill or a specially ground carbide tool. Takes longer for me to get the ejector out than actual lathe time. How did the test fire go? You could also use the bolt for the 357 sig build you've been wanting to do. Look up .357 rimless. It's made from 223 brass and can run higher pressure than standard 357 mag, which might also get you to 357 sig performance with more standard componets and mags.
i haven't tested it out yet. hope to put a few downrange today.
the bolt looks better in 7.62x39 as the extra cutting cleaned up the some what 'botchie' job i did making a 5.45 bolt. it looks like it should work.
i am going to test fire some hot yugo, some wolf 154gr and some golden tiger IF it don't break --it is a neat trick!
fired around 90 rounds of mixed ammo including some wolf 154gr today.
it tosses the emptys 2 o-clock about 4- 4-1/2 feet from where i am standing.
no bent or broke lugs. so far the home made bolt seems to work as good as a factory made one. it is all how long it lasts now- a few hundred or thousand rounds and we will know for sure - call me in 2013!!--LOL!
You know you can buy bolts for both calibers..... Right?
If it works it works, well played j427x.
Overspecialize and you breed in weakness.
another 120rds down the pipe. so far so good. aprox 210 rds total of 154 wolf & 122 ygo brass. along with some golden tiger --
it seems to shoot as tight with the home made bolt as the factory job.
so far so good. i think i am going to get some cheap stripped bolts for spares and if i break or crack a 7.62, 5.45/6.8, or even 6.5G i'll tool another one from the spares box!
so far the homemade bolt is going like a champ.

I really liked the design on purple! I know more people like light blue, and it works well on that, but it just goes POW on purple.
Once this is released, I'm going to do that. I've gotta figure out how the diaper will print if I have cafepress do the shirt, since I have a shop there and they do maternity shirts. Otherwise, I'm thinking of seeing what bountee has for options. I want to either expand my cafepress site, or go to one that won't cause me to compromise my design purely because they don't have white as an option when printing.
As for the purple, I did pick that color on purpose because it DID pop so well. I wish woot would break down and add a purple color to the repertoire. Although, I wonder if I would have only half the votes had that been an option.
Sachmoe64 wrote:Awesome idea! but, I wish it wasnt so BIG! if it was the size of the medalion in the picture that would be perfect! but its still GMV
I agree, the medallion size would have been best, as well as giving it a little more presence with more color and shading. It just looks far too flat for me (and I love this movie and book so I'm not picking it apart because I don't know the story or anything). It needs something more, and I don't mean in size.
My mom let me buy the Koi shirt that she has too, and now I can vote for myself!
And for other people, too.

This is just too cute! My 2 year old saw this and said, "Ooh! Baby!" I was in early elementary school when this happened and this was the topic of recess. My friends and I couldn't quite figure out how they got that baby to live in a test tube! We had a friend who was quite knowledgeable about s e x (especially back then for a grade-schooler!) and she told us all about it. We were quite skeptical anyway!

I toyed with that for a while... having it look as if you were wearing the medallion. It just didn't feel right, though, with only the 6 colors to use. I wanted it to look realistic if I did it that way. I went with the sketched look and cut down the color size...but it needed to be bigger for that one to work.
At least, that's what was going through my head. I'll toy with some other versions.. perhaps you will see them in future derby submissions by yours truly

here;s the scoop on this one. Andy Warhol dies Feb 22, 1987. Dusky Seaside Sparrow goes extinct June 17, 1987. And the first supernova viewable with the naked eye from earth since 1604 appears in the sky on Feb 23, 1987. So, a shirt on death of an artist, a feeble species, and a star.
The design is spectacular. I'd love to wear this shirt.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that bird looks like unoriginal art, and I would have at least gotten rid of the white background. The star loks pretty good if you did it yourself, but it looks like too many colors.

11 U.S. Code § 557 - Expedited determination of interests in, and abandonment or other disposition of grain assets
§ 557.
Expedited determination of interests in, and abandonment or other disposition of grain assets
This section applies only in a case concerning a debtor that owns or operates a grain storage facility and only with respect to grain and the proceeds of grain. This section does not affect the application of any other section of this title to property other than grain and proceeds of grain.

"grain" means wheat, corn, flaxseed, grain sorghum, barley, oats, rye, soybeans, other dry edible beans, or rice;
"grain storage facility" means a site or physical structure regularly used to store grain for producers, or to store grain acquired from producers for resale; and
Notwithstanding sections 362, 363, 365, and 554 of this title, on the court's own motion the court may, and on the request of the trustee or an entity that claims an interest in grain or the proceeds of grain the court shall, expedite the procedures for the determination of interests in and the disposition of grain and the proceeds of grain, by shortening to the greatest extent feasible such time periods as are otherwise applicable for such procedures and by establishing, by order, a timetable having a duration of not to exceed 120 days for the completion of the applicable procedure specified in subsection (d) of this section. Such time periods and such timetable may be modified by the court, for cause, in accordance with subsection (f) of this section.
(2) The court shall determine the extent to which such time periods shall be shortened, based upon—
any need of an entity claiming an interest in such grain or the proceeds of grain for a prompt determination of such interest;
(d) The procedures that may be expedited under subsection (c) of this section include—
(1) the filing of and response to—
a request for relief from the stay of action against property under section 362(a) of this title;
(F) a request for determination of whether such grain or the proceeds of grain—
(2) the disposition of such grain or the proceeds of grain, before or after determination of interests in such grain or the proceeds of grain, by way of—
subject to sections 701, 702, 703, 1104, 1202, and 1302 of this title, the appointment of a trustee or examiner and the retention and compensation of any professional person required to assist with respect to matters relevant to the determination of interests in or disposition of such grain or the proceeds of grain; and
Any governmental unit that has regulatory jurisdiction over the operation or liquidation of the debtor or the debtor's business shall be given notice of any request made or order entered under subsection (c) of this section.
Any such governmental unit may raise, and may appear and be heard on, any issue relating to grain or the proceeds of grain in a case in which a request is made, or an order is entered, under subsection (c) of this section.
(f) The court may extend the period for final disposition of grain or the proceeds of grain under this section beyond 120 days if the court finds that—
(g) Unless an order establishing an expedited procedure under subsection (c) of this section, or determining any interest in or approving any disposition of grain or the proceeds of grain, is stayed pending appeal—
the reversal or modification of such order on appeal does not affect the validity of any procedure, determination, or disposition that occurs before such reversal or modification, whether or not any entity knew of the pendency of the appeal; and
The trustee may recover from grain and the proceeds of grain the reasonable and necessary costs and expenses allowable under section 503(b) of this title attributable to preserving or disposing of grain or the proceeds of grain, but may not recover from such grain or the proceeds of grain any other costs or expenses.
Notwithstanding section 326(a) of this title, the dollar amounts of money specified in such section include the value, as of the date of disposition, of any grain that the trustee distributes in kind.
In all cases where the quantity of a specific type of grain held by a debtor operating a grain storage facility exceeds ten thousand bushels, such grain shall be sold by the trustee and the assets thereof distributed in accordance with the provisions of this section.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I still do not know what the I stands for when they reference ICVR?
I do not know what the copper colored deal is but thanks for pointing it out to me, it has given the the chance to look at it and I do believe now it is, regardless I planned to ground the unit just cause I have more faith in what others have told me than the bits I know.
I still would be interested in learning though how the heck this thing is originally grounded, it is screwed into the back of a plastic instrument cluster, I asked this and this is the response I received .......... If you look closely you will see that the later one mounts to the plastic through a bare place on the printed circuit. The older ones grounded through the metal shell of the instrument panel............I have no idea what he is meaning here and I dont want to continue pushing the question because everyone thinks differently and it may be taken as Im second guessing or something so not worth it.
snap on CVR
The older Mustang style CVR with the threaded studs might be easier to use than the snaps, but you could solder some wires or scrounge the connectors from something that requires a 9 V , battery if they are the same size. Is the copper colored piece on your CVR actually a ground connection. The other colored dots are probably verification quality controll marks for elect test good, mechanical crimps, etc. When I was working in the electronics industry we used to use hot melt glue to secure larger components to circuit boards, just the soldered wire leads would not hold in a vibration- drop test.
other type gauges
On some gauges there is a light socket included, on those when installing the gauges in a wood or fiberglass dash panel a ground would have to be added for the light. and I like to run extra grounds to everything. Poor grounds that are supposed to be thru the case can cause funny things to happen
|If you ground the gauges it would be case to ground, yes. What you do NOT want to do is ground either terminal that also gets a power or sender wire to it- but I'm sure you know that.
It will seem as if I am leaving out bits and pieces here maybe but that is because I am finding out ( I am not overly computer savvy ) that many of my questions have been already answered within this thread and I did not realize that they were answered because I did not see that if I clicked on that one particular word that was highlighted it led me to a whole different forum where same questions have been asked and already answered.
Anyway Ok I DO need a CVR and this is it I am going to ground it I guess, as was mentioned it cannot hurt any.
If I am understanding correctly I need this CVR for all gauges except the Alt gauge, sound right ?
I see big Cliffs explanation of how the power needs to flow thru the gauges.........It will make a difference witch wire is on the positive see if one post has a plus or minis or one is gold and one silver or look at the bottom of the gauge way the needle will move the way the currant will flow to make the needle move,............as a good explanation and makes sense to me and so I will look at it this way.
I have a question though on grounding, Pat mentions grounding the gauges, the way I have the gauges set up within my 52 instrument cluster there is no provision for ground, so I need clarification on how to ground these.
Is it safe to assume that the gauges are grounded thru their metal case so all I need to do is run a jumper wire from case to case and then to a known good ground?
I am still working on my fuel tank sending issues but I am curious, how is the sending unit grounded, is it grounded as soon as its bolted to the tank, I ask because alot of these tanks seem to sit on rubber cushions so that has me confused. Thanks again guys, I am amazed at how much I have learned in such a short time thru this and one other forum.
You also need to ground the gauge body.
All interesting stuff guys, not to change the subject bUUUt
I need to approach this differently I guess, I guess I need to ask a few questions at a time cause Its getting confusing.
I went to the salvage yard the other day and dropped 2 gas tanks and retrieved their sending units. I could not figure out why the heck I could get no reading so that is when I started this post, didnt get much of a response on how to use the meter so I just went ahead and assumed I needed to work harder.
I went to a different salvage yard this A.M and pulled 4 fuel tanks and their senders, I brought my meter with me, none of them read the way I thought they were supposed too. I was sure I just had no idea what to do with the meter.
I brought the meter back to Tampa Napa and asked for a sending unit for an 82 F-150, tested it there, same thing, no results, no-one at Napa had a clue how to use the multi-meter or they just couldnt be bothered to help.
Guy told me save receipt, dont install it, bring sending unit home and try to figure it out with help from your friends on-line.
Did that, came home, tried it again and now its working, also 1 out of the 4 I picked up at Cophers this A.M is working as well. I dont know why they did not work before and at this point do not care.
I see now how the reading goes from high to low, low to high.
I am assuming at this point that since the gauges appear identical from ( I think 81-86 ) Ford trucks that they all carry the same resistance values throughout the system, would you guys agree? I know in 87 they went to a fancier gauge, dash changed ect.
My question is looking at the pictures below........I want to go slow here and learn something, I would like to do what this fella is doing here on this You-tube video ........
Sorry if this has already been answered but which side of this gauge does the hot lead from the battery go on, seems to me it would matter.
Big Cliff seems to think it will and I agree, guys on Ford Forum say it does not matter I believe.
Looking at the video it looks like hot lead from battery goes on one prong of the gauge, then a lead from other side of gauge goes to fuel tank sending unit and then I would ground the fuel tank sending unit to negative side of battery, is that correct.
This guy mentions buzzer box, I dont know what that is and dont think I need to worry about it here?
Thanks guys
part no's
Sometimes a running change would result in a recall of sold units, other times it was rework all the units not delivered to a dealer, other times just a service bulletin. There could be idenical parts except for the finish, S2 suffex were black parts, S 36 were the gold colored, the same part out of the die before the finish. , less rust in the salt spray tests. The parts were used elsewhere that were not grounded. We had couple guys that just coordinated engineering changes, find a place to use surplus parts, and there was always a problem in the San Jose Calif assembly plant, . In the winter trains and trucks would get delayed because of the snow storms, and the resident design engineer scrambled to find pieces that would work to keep the assembly lines working. If you have ever had an older ford pickup , trying to find the right combinations of engine bolt on parts can be a nightmare. engines came to the assembly plant with carb, fuel pump and distributor. all the bolt on parts were added per the order, eg, Ac, PS, alt size. emission calibration.
|When you did a running change to the plating, say, what was done w/the unmodified parts on hand?
I never took one apart to see how it works. ..Just when we got all the bugs worked out they do a major design change , then have to start all over, Cougar Electrical systems were a nightmare, and the dealer repair-warranty costs were more than for a T bird.
|Found a schematic that shows the added on wire. Might be an RFI thing. It is not needed for the unit to function, though.
66 grounded.
I used the 66 diagram and it shows it grounded with a black wire. I remember we had some grounding problems and changed the engineering specs to an s 36 finish (gold colored ) for ground screws in various places. I had Mustang Elect systems for a while.

Meet MiniTunes
Click on image to Enlarge
After launching the application for the first time, I was asked for the location of my music library. The import process started and finished (a fair amount of time later, I have to say, mostly due to the artist search in Last.fm) successfully despite the considerable size of my music collection. I mention this because several other players (Amarok, Songbird and pre-v2.x Banshee, for example) have failed or crashed on that first import in the past.
Click on image to Enlarge
The interface is light, uncomplicated and beautiful. Unfortunately for me, Last.fm didn't fetch all artists pictures and album covers, which resulted in several "blank" spots here and there, but the looks are impressive nonetheless. I wish it was possible to add pictures and covers manually, a great feature available in other players that I dearly miss here.
Click on image to Enlarge
Another great thing about MiniTunes is that it is extremely easy to use, partially thanks to a limited set of available features, but also to an intuitive interface. On top of that, probably the most valuable feature for me, the application performs well and feels quick and snappy. This is particularly evident during startup, way quicker than other heavier players, such as Amarok or Banshee.
If I could ask for more features, though, aside from the already mentioned ability to manually modify artist and album covers, I guess I would like to see a better sound menu integration. Moreover, it would be great if it was possible to close MiniTunes and keep it running in the background.
Fortunately, MiniTunes is in very early stages of development and will hopefully gain momentum as more and more people get to know it. I bet it will get better and better, even if it is a great audio player already!

Does the folder view allow tree view?ReplyDelete
My current player of choice is Decibel but it is only available on Linux, while it looks as though this will be available on windows as well.
I haven´t messed with it to find if a tree view is available, but I doubt it. Like I said, it is a simplified interface.ReplyDelete
- Bowser360May 21, 2011 at 11:06 PM
I Know MiniTunes several months ago and when I meet him I fell in love. but still very basic, needs much work. Since then, I did not hear from it.ReplyDelete
not improved at all during this time. I feel highly disappointed.
@Browser360: Thanks for your comments!ReplyDelete
I am not sure it is fair to say it needs much work. It seems to me the concept behind this player is that of a basic and simple application to start with, so I don't see it ever becoming a Banshee or an Amarok. If that's what you like, perhaps you should use those players instead?
- Bowser360May 22, 2011 at 7:35 PM
I'm not saying it needs to become a banshee. but in fact lack basic characteristics, as at least create playlist, etc. perhaps a bit exaggerated to say much work.ReplyDelete
less is more, but when is too little?
@Bowser360: Ah, I see what you are saying, OK. I think the ability to create playlists is very much there, but I don't think they can be saved, that's the problem.ReplyDelete
Like I said in my article, MiniTunes is a one man job, and if it gets anyone else behind it and gains momentum, it can close the gap where needed. I think its future is promising, really wish its development is not abandoned!
Quick update: MiniTunes 1.0 was recently released, make sure you get it!ReplyDelete

The Indian government for weeks has been engaging in rhetoric concerning terrorists who carried out the attacks on Mumbai, but it has finally decided to bring forth evidence to support its allegations. Foreign Secretary Shivshankar Menon turned over to Pakistani high commissioner, Shahid Malik evidence that Mumbai terrorists were trained in Pakistan and had connections with the Pakistan military in preparation for their attacks in India. Interrogation information extracted from the one captured Pakistani, Amir Kasab, reveal that "elements in Pakistan" provided assistance to the terrorists. Menon said a window of opportunity is now open for Pakistan to finally do something about ties between those "elements" and terrorism. Pakistan supposedly has promised to act with vigor in using the evidence to close down terrorist connections with members of the Pakistan military and secret service.
Hopefully, Pakistan will now begin sharing information with Indian authorities about what their investigation has uncovered. The main problem is that the infamous Pakistan secret intelligence service–ISI– is deeply linked with terrorism and it poses problems for any Pakistan government to do anything without causing turmoil within its own military.

I do still need this shirt in my life.
Re: Neighborhood thrift store
For the entirety that I have been at this computer (About 2 hours now, and counting) I have been sitting here trying to figure out just what about this shirt makes me find it just so captivating and adorable.
Was it the mere concept?
Maybe it was the charming way the right raccoon leans back, holding the glasses to his face with his little paw.
Or maybe it was his facial expression.
And as I sat there, muttering to myself as I tried to solve this equation, all the while frightening those sitting close to me, I realized...
I could rule the world with the sheer cuteness of this shirt.
I am waiting with baited breath and $15, hoping this shirt wins.

Well since this is the internet, I guess you won't mind my calling you a OMGOMGOMGPONIESOMG PWNIES. You act as though Ramyb has a unique style...(read: he doesn't) he learned his art from somewhere, and it's a collection of all of his learning and practicing that he's developed his style. If you're really naive (read: dumb) enough to think that his artistic style hasn't been seen and doesn't have some fairly common attributes, then I suppose you can go on accusing the denizens of Woot.com of not being wholly original.
TLDR: People need to get off Ramyb's ****. Show some respect for the work other artists do.

Re: No Thanks...
I would have bought this. I love hippos.
This thread is one of the more amusing exercises in irony that I have ever seen conducted with a serious tone. It's a derby to poke fun in the direction of hipsters, and the first reaction is for people to rage at ramyb because of his too popular or "genius marketing" designs.
Which is the generally agreed upon definition of hipster.
(disclosure: I love ramy's designs, which will make everyone I am directing this post at to roll their eyes and say "of course you are." I am okay with this.)

whoop whoop
I hope to have a new job by tomorrow night, got an interview tomorrow, so I can start my soft parts too, I hope to see your finished work soon, so we can compair our hard work.
I really like your drawing, how are you gonna do the bucket?
How'd the interview go?
Bucket: I'm still liking the white slash in it. I'll make yet another drawing, LoL. I'll also put up my finalish look.
interview seemed ok, she said she'll call tomorrow, fingers crossed.
Lets see some more drawings, especially that 'finalish' look ;)
:thumbup Wow, a dryer? I never would have thought about that. I am totally amazed!! I'm getting my chest armor from Rotton, but definitely making the shoulder and shin armor. Thanks for the idea :thumbsup
the black flightsuit will go good with the red armor. looks very good
Sorry Caroline, didn't mean to steal your thread.;)
By the way, any updates? Got a bucket yet? I hope to start my custom today.
Looks good so far Looking forward to new pics!
I really meant like a white stripe but I may put a big slash down the bucket and just say the white was there to show off the scar. :D And I do need a bucket still. I'm thinking about just making one but think I'm ganna want practice with the premade buckets for when I do Jango/Boba.
Speaking of buckets...
Nice frontal view, eh? I like it and that's what it'll look like. I'm working on final whole armor concepts, don't worry. (Yay for Fridays!)
Looks good!!! The white streak is great!!!
I'm really liking the color scheme and design of your armor. You look to be off to a great start. I can't wait to see the finished product, then maybe I can talk my wife into making one too...
I'm glad you guys like the plan so far. :D I should give you the rest!
My favorite. :D
I did do the grey cape/kama.
Yup, there ya go: the plan. :) Good to have those.
Oh yeah, I really LIKE FRONTAL VIEWS:p JK
Use the WOF template and size it down a little (unless you gotta big head like mine:lol)
Mine has a 9.75" opening (HUGH MELON)
I used FREE Priority mail envelopes to make mine, then resin, glass and bondo. Not too hard, if I can do it, you can too. :cheers
Looking good there Can :)
Lookin good vod!!! I like the kama idea!!!
yeah, envelopes were FREE baby, and they have a good thickness to hold the shape for the resin coating.
Poster board works too!!! That's what all the bucket's I've made are started with.
Well I went shopping today 'cos I didn't go yesterday. I got duct tape, more velcroe, and spray paint. I now have white and black that I'm going to keep. I did buy a purple and silver but I don't like either of them. I tested all the colors on scrap plastic. I'll see if I can return the silver and purple and it's no big deal if I can't. So my trip was semi productive. Purple is going to be a little difficult to find, I guess. OH! And I got another, bigger trash can! :D It'll be for back, thigh, and shin beskar'gam. Maybe knee, IDK yet. Depends on how much I have left. Anyways, I'll post pics of all my stuff later.


text: I have a glock 20 and my left eye has deteriorited to the point where I can't see traditional sights and the target so I need to switch my hand guns to optics. I have seen several mounts on the net and was just woundering if any of you had a sight mounted and which mounts you prefered. I have a nice Ncstar holographic sight to use I'm just not sure on the mount.
