No Country for Old Men [Blu-ray Boxset] [Deluxe Edition]
2 discs
Region 1 USA/CA (
With NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN, the Coen Brothers have found a perfect match in Pulitzer Prize-winning author Cormac McCarthy. Their adaptation of McCarthy's praised novel is a staggering masterpiece. In this almost impossibly faithful adaptation, the film takes place in a small Texas border town in 1980. Sheriff Bell (a never-been-better Tommy Lee Jones) has ruled the land for years without the use of a gun, but a new brand of reckless lawlessness has taken over his town. Llewelyn Moss (Josh Brolin) is an innocent Everyman with a devoted wife, Carla Jean (Kelly Macdonald), but when he stumbles across a drug deal gone deadly and finds two million dollars, he's determined to keep it for himself. There's only one problem. He's being pursued by one of the most amoral, evil psychopaths that the big screen has ever seen. Wearing an absurd haircut and brandishing a pressurized weapon that's used to murder cattle, Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem) creeps forward on his mission to track Moss down and return the money to its rightful owners to save his own skin. As the tension mounts, the body count begins to rise, confirming Sheriff Bell's inability to battle this new wave of modern brutality.
The most striking thing about the Coen Brothers' thriller is their masterly use of silence to create an almost unbearable level of tension. Cinematographer Roger Deakins is once again at the top of his game, beautifully capturing this stark and lonely world. The well-rounded cast is clearly excited to be a part of such a stellar production--particularly Bardem, whose Chigurh is a freakishly mysterious monster, and is certain to haunt viewers long after the final credit has rolled. In a career filled with striking achievements, this might very well be the Coen Brothers' finest. It is filmmaking at its best.

it's known that the SW in Concert will take place in Paris in March 2010.
I would like to know how many TDH members will go. May be we could arrange a meeting and say hello to each other face to face. :)
Even more, we could choose the same hotel to stay and have fun at breakfast time whistling SW songs all together :lol
What do you say mainland mates? This is another great excuse to travel and meet us like the Celebration Europe was!

|I had the same problem.. my solution was to run a pipe right to the celing and back down ( about 6' ) to a water seperator.. now all the water flows down into the compressor.. drain it out once a day and it's good, never any water at the paint gun and the compressor gets pretty hot.. draining the regulator on the compressor, I had to put a small water seperator right on the compressor because the water would back trace right thru the regulator.. now the trap catches it and dumps it outside because it's self draining ( closes with preassure, otherwise open ) and I ran a line out the wall
Probably nothing wrong with it, under the circumstances you are describing there is just no way it can do it's job and a more expensive one of the same type probably would do no better. There are several major factors that commonly contribute to water in the air and it seems from what you said that you are afflicted with all of them! First and the most important is to forget working straight off of the compressor and install some metal (NOT PVC!!!! ) piping, about 50' of at least 1/2", and place that water separator at the end of that as far from the compressor as you can get it. This line needs to be run properly and with traps/drains installed but it is not difficult to do nor terribly expensive. Use the search function to do a search for water in air lines and you should find a bunch of ways to do this, almost certainly there will be something there to solve your problem.
|Old Fool
There are a number of threads that address this issue..
condensed versin, need 50 ft of airline between the compressor and the filter to allow the air to cool and condense the moisture.
There is a lot more to it, but that is the idea.
|406 ss monte
water in compressed air, what do i need?
i built my garage a couple years ago & i put in a devilbiss 6.5 hp 60 gallon air compressor. i never plumbed my garage with air lines, i just work straight from the compressor. when it rains a lot, or in the winter time especially, i get a lot of water coming through my air tools (die grinders). i put on one of the water separator/oilers thinking that would solve my problem, i was wrong. that little thing is a joke. i think i need something more like a devilbiss QC3 filter/dryer, but it's around $150.00 bucks. is this going to solve my problem? is there a cheaper way to go? my garage isn't heated either, so will that be a problem?

|My family has had a treadle powered Singer in the family since I believe the late 1800s. Its built into a desk of sorts; for storing sewing supplies. All the ones with the larger flat worktop that Ive seen were the industrial type units, as Dan mentioned, but Im certainly not an expert by any means. Ours has a lot of gold leaf on the actual sewing apparatus itself.
Whatever machine that is, it does not have a walking foot. Walking foot is a term to describe a machine that has alternating presser feet. Such a machine has three separate vertical shafts. Two of the shafts hold the two halves of the foot, and the other shaft holds the needle. The next thing you need to do is replace the leather belts with rubber "V" belts of the same approximate length. The machine has a built in mechanism to run the machine faster or slower depending on which groove of the multi groove sheaves you connect together. The smaller the driving pulley is, and the bigger the driven pulley is, the slower the machine will run, and vice versa. This machine will sew two pieces of fabric together, but it's not going to be very good at sewing things that are thicker than that. I'm thinking this is more of an industrial garment sewing machine.
Can you take some pictures from the other side of the machine, and more close up?

hello, was donated a singer class 66 I believe, not knowing very much about sewing machines, has a walking foot, i am not sure how to thread the upper thread or lower thread, any information i would appreciate, runs great, thank you

Massawepie Scout Camps
About Massawepie
Located on a 3,769 acre parcel in the heart of the Adirondack Mountains of northern New York State, Massawepie Scout Camps combine unique wilderness programs with a traditional Boy Scout summer camp.
At Massawepie you can canoe, kayak or sail on a mile-long private lake, hike on 20 miles of trails, and camp among eight other ponds without ever leaving camp property. Massawepie's location is perfect for programs like:
- Mountain biking
- Outpost camping, and
- Adventure for older Scouts and Venturers
The Massawepie property has a fascinating history. The fashionable resort Hotel Childwold operated here from 1890-1909. Massawepie then became the private preserve of the Sykes family, who operated the Emporium Forestry Company and the related Grasse River Railroad in nearby Conifer and Cranberry Lake.
The former Otetiana Council, Boy Scouts of America, purchased the property in 1951. In 1952 Massawepie began operating as a summer camp for Scouts from Rochester and Monroe County, New York (and for other Scout groups from around the nation and world as space allows). In 2009 Otetiana Council merged with the Finger Lakes Council to include Wayne, Ontario, Seneca and Yates counties along with Monroe County to create the Seneca Waterways Council. Massawepie Scout Camps' 50th anniversary was celebrated during the 2002 camp season. For more history information, visit the Massawepie Staff Alumni Association's Massawepie History page.
Massawepie is a New York State licensed children's camp, and is also reviewed and certified annually as meeting the standards of the Boy Scouts of America.

Monday 13th February 2012
Even us most ardent of travelling fans will on occasion ask ourselves why we do it. Leaving my bed at 5am on Saturday morning, heading out into ridiculously cold temperatures knowing a 600 mile and ten hour-plus driving day lay ahead, I don't mind admitting I did question my sanity!
For a few crazy seconds however, when the away end at the Stadium of Light became a scene of total ecstasy, the reason was crystal clear. Get in you beauty!
After cleaning my windscreen of ice my dashboard indicated a temperature of minus seven but with all 300-odd miles due to take place along some of this country's main travel arteries we were hopeful the weather wouldn't prove a barrier to us actually completing the journey.
Pre-match refreshment was warm and plentiful in a slightly milder Sunderland and we entered the ground confident and optimistic as always.
With the type of football we play, a good surface always gives me confidence before a ball is kicked. For whatever reason the pitch on Saturday was at best difficult. Even from up in the stands you could see how awkward it was to turn sharply and control, dribble or pass the ball as it bobbled and bounced around all over the pitch.
Although that doesn't compliment our style I wouldn't want to use it as an excuse when things don't go well. With it being the same for both sides however, I don't think it is just coincidence that it was a relatively poor game for all but perhaps the last 20 minutes or so.
We simply cannot legislate for how we went behind. Shocking bad luck was punished in the harshest possible way. At that point in the game there looked like being only one winner too. Even without a particularly sharp cutting edge up to that point we were enjoying much of the possession and continued to probe around the Sunderland box in search of that winner.
Rambo's strike and the agonising split second as we waited to see if it would cross the line had us back in the game and with time to push on for that winner.
The Meerkat's cross was an absolute peach. From the moment it left his foot you could see it had a chance of meeting TH's movement in the box. In injury time was there ever any doubt the great man would finish it off?!
Cue total mayhem in the away end as arms and legs went everywhere!
Three massive points and that fantastic warm glow on a freezing cold day that only a good win can give you. It certainly made the long journey home far easier to endure and the victory pint (or two) back in my local tasted Super-sweet too.
In a week of many many miles we head off next to an equally cold Milan for one of those two-legged fixtures where whatever happens on Wednesday night it will only be half time.
We need to produce a performance to get the result to see us head into the second leg with all to play for of course. The entertainment off the pitch on the other hand, I have no doubt will be thoroughly enjoyable.
Be safe.

text: In short I thought the Pistons played well enough to win but Indiana played exceptionally well. It took that circus shot at the end to win it. As Lee pointed out in the Pod Cast. It may be for the best to slide in on the 8th seed. Get the tough match up out of the way. Pistons will have to play the 1st seed anyway at some point. Yes I know its unlikely to advance but you never know. Last I heard you still have to play the games if you are the #1 seed.

Fine in that application.
For me,,, I hate plastic frame guns though,,,
And as I have said a million times before,,,,"real steel is the real deal",,at least for me it is anyways. Polymers do have there place though, and that's a good example. IMO.
Cut and pasted from Ruger website Q&A section
"I have heard that Ruger has changed the 10/22 carbine trigger group components from aluminum to polymer. Is this true and, if so, why was this change made?
Yes, it is true that we have updated the 10/22 trigger group components and that they are now made of glass-filled polymer instead of the die cast aluminum parts. Ruger engineers are always looking for ways to improve our products, including evaluating new and evolving technologies and materials. The benefits of polymers are many, including improved impact resistance, an unmatched ability to withstand the elements, and of course weight savings. Accordingly, polymers are routinely used in firearms that are subjected to heavy use in harsh conditions, law enforcement and military applications in particular. The new trigger group features injection molded components of high tech polymer for an improved product with closer manufacturing tolerances. The firearm is as reliable and, because the color is incorporated into the polymer of the injection molded components, the finish will never wear off due to normal use or unexpected abrasion. Also, the heat stabilized, glass-filled polymer will withstand impacts that would bend or even break the die cast aluminum parts previously used in Ruger 10/22's."
Fine in that application.
For me,,, I hate plastic frame guns though,,,
And as I have said a million times before,,,,"real steel is the real deal",,at least for me it is anyways. Polymers do have there place though, and that's a good example. IMO.
I hate plastic trigger groups. I like how they try to put a positive spin on it by saying that they are more impact resistant and can take impacts that would cause one of their aluminum grigger groups to crack.......Is it a trigger group or a hammer? I haven't heard of cracking trigger groups being a common problem with the 10/22, and with as popular as they are you think it would of showed up by now. They aren't improving anything, but they can make them much cheaper and still charge you the same amount. I would buy used before buying their "improved" version.
I think most manufacturers are now using some form of "plastic" on their rifles. A while back I was allowed to go behind the counter at a local gun store. I saw a magnet laying their and I tried it on all of the trigger guards. Virtually everybody-Ruger, Remington, Savage, Marlin, Howa and maybe a couple others were using plastic. I guess that is the way things are right now. So, if you don't want plastic, look for something older; probably used.
a plastic trigger guard is one thing but a plastic part in the fire control group is a fricking disaster!
if i was the BATF i would BAN all fricking plastic fire control parts.
Did I miss something?? Is it the housing or the trigger parts that are polymer?
If the trigger parts itself,,, Hell No,,,,,not for me,,,thanks. That IS a disaster waiting to happen.
IIRC, at least the trigger has also become plastic in the newer models. As it has no contact surface with any of the hammer/sear/disconnector interface surfaces it should hold up in that application.
IIRC the FN PS90 had a plastic hammer in it. Bought it, shot it, sold it, so I can't say for sure.
When some one can show me a plastic hammer that is 100 years old and still works, I'll buy it. Until then, I want all my moving parts to be made from metal.
I, agree with tanvil. I want ALL moving parts to be made of a strong metal like steel. It would help my confidence a lot.

I do think that you miss the point that Hopeful has no drawn comb and is wanting to start about 85 new hives.
Looks like a winner, Michael. I have read that I should not mix wood with plastic frames, but if these are going in all new hives then that should not be a problem. Any down side to these that you know of?
! Taking care of 100 hives is a big difference than taking care of 12. When you have that many you should have them in at least 5 outyards in my area.
I guess it also takes both honey and time to make actua comb then. Finsky, Does this make sense?
I saw the Mann Lake Plastic foundation that Michael Bush mentions.
A assembled wood frame with plastic pierce foundation ready to put into the hive sells for about $1.60 us. I can't beat the price.
I am getting assembled frames .55 each plus getting my foundation from Kelly, comes up to $1.27 each, thats total for a frame and foundation and the frames are already assembled :D ( glued and nailed) all I have to do is install foundation , oh and did I mention the frames are already assembled BAHAHAHAHA!!!!! , THIS KINDA BEEKEEPING COULD SPOIL ME :-P :evil:
Anette, letting them make natural comb will not cause them to regresses to small cell. Natural comb and small cell are two different things. If you would like your bees to regress use the PF120 or PF100 frames from Mann Lake or you can use small cell foundation.
It is amazing that after all this discussion I could still have a question - but ...If I am understanding correctly (which could be a big If), the whole issue of cell size/ regression has to do with the brood area and not the honey supers - true?
If true, than it seems like any size could be used for the honey supers - true?
Also, if he has no comb, then we are only talking about what kind of foundation (foundationless, wax, plastic) and not cell size or the benefits of using comb. And it appears that everyone has an opinion :)
So, I am actually in the same situation, just starting out, no drawn comb to use.So for my honey supers - can I just buy ten empty frames, perhaps put a starter strip on each one, and then put all ten in the super and then expect the bees to draw out ten frames of comb and fill them?

Hello Compass India Holidays,
The trip to India and Nepal you arranged for us was wonderful. You missed nothing. I've traveled with other high-end agencies such as Abercrombie and Kent and you were every bit as good. Every detail was covered.
We were in strange (for us) countries for almost 3 weeks and we never had any trepidation at all, or ever felt like we were alone. If we had a question or a minor wrinkle, it was taken care of. We always felt perfectly safe. We felt like we had a baby sitter with us all the time. With all of the traveling to different cities there were a lot of hand off's, but no one ever missed a beat. We never wanted for a thing--one couldn't ask for more.
The guides, every one, were extremely knowledgeable and hospitable.. Of course, some were a bit better than others, but they were all good and they tried very hard. They all seemd to care about us. I was impressed with the diligence of everyone. The greeters made us feel very welcome and the drivers were fantastic. How one drives in India or Nepal is beyond either one of us. It takes a dedicated and talented person to drive in that kind of traffic. Sanjay was like our new best friend after the many days we spent on the road with him. I'm a bit nervous (after a very bad auto accident) when someone else drives, but I sat in the back seat completely calm knowing Sanjay was at the wheel.
The telephone you provided for us was very comforting, since neither of ours worked over there. My iPad did work when we could get WiFi access, but it was unreliable in some hotels especially the Radisson hotels. I only had to use it once to call a guide-- it turned out he was not late, I just had the meeting time wrong. The guides used the telephone to call us a few times. Great idea.
We truly liked most of the hotels. We loved The Maidens in Delhi, The Lalit Temple View, The Taj in Gwalior, and The Raas. The Leela Palace was the very best of all-what a way to end our trip to India We truly felt like royalty and the property itself is just amazing. The Lake Palace may be the "in" place, but it can't be nearly as good as the Leela. I just can't rave enough about the Leela Palace. What service, what beauty and what an elegant atmosphere and ambiance. I hate to admit it,
but I guess I really am a hotel snob and this hotel was absolutely perfect.
The guide service in Nepal was just super also. He really went out of his way to make sure we were happy and taken care of. The owner and his wife came to meet us and they were so gracious.
Thank you so much for allowing the third safari in Ranthambore. While we didn't see a tiger, the sighting of the leopard with a fawn in its mouth was even better. It was just at Park closing time on the third safari. That really made the trip to Ranthambore and helped negate the memories of the awful road trip from Agra. (grin).
I could go on for pages telling you how much we enjoyed the many days we spent touring India and Nepal. But in order to get this to you before next year, I must stop.
Thanks again Varsha to you and all of those who work with you. We found the Indian people so very kind, helpful and exceedingly gracious. Most Indians truly love their beautiful country and its history. Their sweet faces and beautiful smiles will always remain with me. We have wonderful memories of this India trip with Nepal. I can still see the smiles of approval when I wore a sari or kurta. They got a real kick out of this blue eyed, gray hair with a red stripe lady wearing an Indian dress.
Thanks for making it all possible,
Karen and Jack Mills

"I am very impressed with the product, price, customer service and delivery time. The invitations arrived standard shipping in 2 days! Amazing! Classy invitation on nice weight card stock. I kept the color and font as shown. I was able to change text in the text box easily. The blue background and white border have an aged quality because the ink is not solid...more like it was painted in watercolor. Very Book of Kells feeling to me which is a subtle and nice touch. The Celtic cross and knotwork are beautiful. The blue background is a light blue. The digital image doesn't translate the actual color well. Still lovely. Darling little hearts on cross and corners of the invitation. I am proud to send these out to my family and friends for my son's 1st Holy Communion. Exceeded my expectations! Thank you so much! Great job Tiny Prints!"
"This invite shipped and arrived early which was great because we were able to send them out right away. The invite came out clear and high quality. We got so many compliments. I liked how you could personalize it and not have a generic saying on it. The fact that we had the envelopes pre-printed was another bonus so I didn't have to write them all out. However, it would have been easier if you could have downloaded a PDF or MS document of addresses rather than individually type each address in. Other than that, I was highly satisfied with these invites and thought they were a fantastic value!"
"These turned out great. I just use a picture I took from my phone and it looks great on the invites. I would definitely recommend this card. Great price too!"
"This card turned out adorable, just what i needed for my son baptism memento card. The text was easily editable. Love them!"
"Let's face it, when someone receives an invite with a baby's picture on it, they're not even looking at anything but the baby. That said, I had several compliments on both the picture and the card! Considering the picture came from an iPhone, I was impressed. Quality (for the price!) and design were great! A perfect invite for my son's baptism. When I purchased this card, there was only one review and it was negative regarding the quality but I went for it anyway because I've always had luck with TinyPrints products. This was no different--being at the lowest price range, this is a great invite and I highly recommend it! I used a black and white picture and it pairs beautifully with the design of the card!"

text: I can now answer my own question. I purchased a Solo CDP LG on Tuesday. Took it to the range yesterday. Shot several types of 124 grain ammo for about 100 rounds, and the gun performed perfectly. Shot where I aimed and has a great feel and I love the 1911 ergonomics. The Laser is bright, easy to engage, and I only had to move it a little to the left to get it zeroed. The KimproII finish appears to be anodized on and seems very durable. I have seen no signs of holster wear as yet. If it continues to perform for another 100 rounds it will be my primary carry gun. For now at least. The only problem I have with the pistol is the recoil spring is so strong it is difficult to manipulate, but doable. I think it loosened up some after shooting it and hope it will continue.

Complete the FAFSA form online. This will be used to calculate your eligibility for aid from non-federal sources, including Excelsior College scholarships.
The Excelsior financial aid office can help simplify the process of completing the FAFSA. Call us at 855-323-9235.
FAFSA changes starting with the 2017-18 academic year:
- You may file a 2017-18 FAFSA now, rather than waiting until Jan. 1, 2017. The earlier submission date is a permanent change, enabling you to complete and submit a FAFSA as early at Oct. 1 every year.
- Beginning with the 2017-18 FAFSA, you must report income information from an earlier tax year. For example, on the 2017-18 FAFSA, students (and parents, as appropriate) must report their 2015 income information rather than their 2016 income information.

6. Refund
If you completely withdraw from all courses and are receiving Federal Student Aid you are subject to having all or part of your financial aid returned to the appropriate financial aid programs. If you withdraw prior to 60% of the enrolled period elapsing, a pro-rated schedule (Return to Title IV Calculation) is used to determine how much Federal Student Aid funds were earned at the time of withdrawal. Please see the Excelsior College Student Policy Handbook for complete refund procedures as outlined in the course withdrawal section.
7. Graduation Rates
As a distributor of Federal Student Aid, Excelsior College is required by Federal Title IV regulations to inform you of the graduation rates of our first-time full-time students. We primarily serve working adults who attend college part-time, and who typically transfer in college credit previously obtained from other sources. The number of students at Excelsior College who are considered "first-time full-time" students for the current reporting year is zero for both associate and bachelor's degree seeking students.
Excelsior College is committed to providing you with information about the success of our degree program students. As a reflection of that commitment, we have joined with other colleges and universities that serve adults at a distance in a voluntary system of accountability and transparency. Transparency at Excelsior includes information that is reflective of our student body, including part-time and transfer students. You will also find additional statistics about the learners in our programs, as well as information about student satisfaction, engagement, and learning outcomes.

Apple announced iPhone 4S, with new features including Apple's dual-core A5 chip for blazing fast performance and stunning graphics; an all new 8MP camera with advanced optics; full 1080p HD resolution video recording; and Siri, an intelligent assistant that helps you get things done just by asking. With the launch of iPhone 4S also comes the launch of iOS 5, the world's most advanced mobile operating system with over 200 new features; and iCloud, a breakthrough set of free cloud services that work with iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac or PC to automatically and wirelessly store users' content in iCloud and push it to all users' devices.
Although iPhone 4S shares the same shape as iPhone 4, key new features of iPhone 4S are:
- Dual Core A5 CPU (up to 2 times faster than iPhone 4)
- Dual Core graphics CPU (up to 7 times faster than iPhone 4)
- improved antenna system, two built-in antennas. Intelligently switch between two antennas to transmit and receive for even better call quality.
- faster data transfer rate: 14.4 Mbps downlink (HSDPA, theoretical maximum) compared to 7.2 Mbps on iPhone 4.
- world phone: built-in both GSM and CDMA support.
- new iOS 5 and iCloud
- 8-megapixel (3264x2448, 60% more pixels than iPhone 4 camera) with new optics for sharper photos. Larger aperture at f/2.4 for even better low light shooting.
- 1080p HD at up to 30 fps with video stabilisation for smoother videos.

Im trying to setup a tv server using mythbuntu (http://www.mythbuntu.org) and the myth tv plugin for xbmc.
As far as i know there is no xtv skin for this plugin.
Any chance that somebody could either make a skin for this or point me in the direction of how to make one.
MythTV XBMC script xTV skin?

The answer depends what you mean by the Mythtv plugin.
If you are referring to the myth//: functionality that is now built in to XBMC then its fairly easy to edit "TV Shows" to TV in the languages file and to then point this button to the mythtv share. The only issue then is that non of the xTV views let you see channel icon, channel name and current show description. I did some work to add a view to display this as per this post:
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...ton&page=6 but there was no response and in general there doesn't seem to be much interest in getting xTV to work well with the new mythtv functionality, which is a shame as its still my favorite skin and the modifications wouldn't require much work.
If you want my modifications to work with myth//: then best thing would be to PM me and I'll e-mail you the whole skin as cant remember now all the changes i made. ( Note the mythtv view in videos only works in 720p didnt modify 4:3 as I don't use it.
On the other hand if you are talking about the Mythtv python plugin then I also made some modifications for xTV to work with this. You can find details of this in the sourceforge forum, my original files were hosted at frooby.net but these became outdated when the skin changed and I believe dteirney updated the files elsewhere.

text: Sorry folks, I have had a run of bad luck. Yesterday I loaded up my truck and head for the yard with intent of setting up cam and actually giving a little demo of me pulling up, opening fence, backing in, and making you all jealous, lol! However, my truck starting acting like it was running out of gas when tank was half full. Thankfully I bought the truck from my cousin who fixed the problem once already, changed all fuel filters, pumps, and finally figured out it was the thing that switches gas supply from one tank to the other. He had pulled it apart and cleaned and that fixed the problem. His brother in law, my cousin in law was able to bypass the stupid thing for now and got me back on the road last night. So today I was going to do it after I got out of doc's office till I realized I forgot my wallet and did not have enough gas to make it to bee yard then back home. When it rains it pours, good or bad luck it seems, lol. God willing, I will take the video tomorrow, and publish it tomorrow night when I get home from work.

Sea ice minimum forecasts
One of the interesting things about being a scientist is seeing how unexpected observations can galvanize the community into looking at a problem in a different way than before. A good example of this is the unexpectedly low Arctic sea ice minimum in 2007 and the near-repeat in 2008. What was unexpected was not the long term decline of summer ice (this has long been a robust prediction), but the size of 2007 and 2008 decreases which were much larger than any model had hinted at. This model-data mismatch raises a number of obvious questions – were the data reliable? are the models missing some key physics? is the comparison being done appropriately? – and some less obvious ones – to what extent is the summer sea ice minimum even predictable? what is the role of pre-conditioning from the previous year vs. the stochastic nature of the weather patterns in any particular summer?
The concentration of polar expertise on the last couple of questions has increased enormously in the last couple of years, and the summer minimum of 2009 will be a good test of some of the ideas that are being discussed. The point is that whether 2009 is or is not a record-setting or near-record setting minimum, the science behind what happens is going to be a lot more interesting than the September headline.
In the wake of the 2007 minimum, a lot of energy went in to discussing what this meant for 2008. Had the Arctic moved into a different regime where such minima would become normal or was this an outlier caused by exceptional weather patterns? Actually this is a bit of false dichotomy since they aren't exclusive. Exceptional patterns of winds are always going to be the proximate cause of any extreme ice extent, but the regime provides a background upon which those patterns act. For instance, in the paper by Nghiem et al, they showed the influence of wind patterns in moving a lot of thick ice out of the Arctic in early 2007, but also showed that similar patterns had not had the same impact in other years with higher background amounts of ice.
This 'background' influence implies that there might indeed be the possibility of forecasting the sea ice minimum a few months ahead of time. And anytime there is the potential to make and test predictions in seasonal forecasting, scientists usually jump at the chance. So it proved for 2008.
Some forecasting efforts were organised through the SEARCH group of polar researchers, and I am aware of at least two informal betting pools that were set up. Another group of forecasts can be found from the Arctic ice forecasting center at the University of Colorado. I personally don't think that the intrinsic worth of a successful prediction of overall sea ice extent or area is that societally relevant – interest in open shipping lanes that might be commercially important need much more fine-grained information for instance – but I think the predictions are interesting for improving understanding of Arctic processes themselves (and hopefully that improved understanding will eventually feed into the models and provide better tests and targets for their simulations).
What was particularly interesting about last years forecasts was the vast range of forecasting strategies. Some were just expert guestimates, some people used linear regression on past data, some were simply based on persistence, or persistence of the trend. In more mature forecasting endeavours, the methods tend to be more clustered around one or two proven strategies, but in this case the background work is still underway.

alright, u guys wouldnt believe this. I woke up just then n went straight to fix my heli n went on changing the blades, using the ones that I've tried last night that caused the bad vibration. the vibration just stopped as I spooled up! same blades no further balancing or tracking!!!!! now it makes me wonder what was going on.....
i have the blades not really tight but at the same time not loose at all....like it won't slip up or down when u bring it around....just tiny bit to hold them in place. i found out the problem was the different serial numbers on the align blades that caused it.....what happened last night was i took out a bag of align blades, 4 pairs in them....n mixed use them (all same blades though, but i have 2 pairs of B grade blades in there)......this morning i just so happened to take the 2 that have the same serial number and they worked just fine.... so tonight when i get home i will put on 2 different serial number ones to try again....see if that's the cause....
* another thing, just to let u guys know if u want to buy align stuffs, pm me as i can get deals that is alot cheaper than any websites...25% off the rrp from align site...ie. the 325mm 3gx blades is only $14.25 (vs $18.99) but of coz u will have to pay for shipping from china too....and they do have align kits too.....one of the best suppliers that i've dealt with....
I only bought the HeliPal blades so they would give me the gear switch they owe me. I know they are over priced, but I needed that switch.
Sprint gave me the Airave for free. It boosts your signal, but it is hooked to your cable modem first, (it acts like a router, & it won't work if it isn't the first) then you patch cord to your router, then your device. It limits your speed too, but if your Sprint signal sucks, it is worth the trade-off of a slower Internet. I was at 1-2 bars signal before, now it is maxed out.
how are your flight times with your v450d01? I just flyied today some slow circles and eights at about -2degrees Fahrenheit and hab a total flight time of 11.30minutes.
I am using 2200mah 45c turnigy batteries and low headspeed of about 2200-2400rpm and had a little reserve of a couple of second to land safely :-)
Is it possible to fly over 15minutes with a 3000mah batterie? Anyone tried this?
Just my opinion, but for your low RPM setup you probably only need 20-30C packs. Unless the higher C packs work better in the cold or something. Otherwise i would save some money in that aspect. Higher C packs are often bigger and heavier too. For 3D on my 3200 rpm setup @ 100% throttle, i still only use 20C packs. I have a 40C pack that does give slightly higher head speed though out the whole flight. It does perform better, mostly when it was new. But it's not worth the nearly double the cost, IMO. So i stick with the cheap 20-30C turnigy packs for and maybe add some low ESR capacitors to the battery line. My packs don't run incredibly hot or puff after a flight unless my ESC's capacitors are broken off (this happens to me often. Vibration breaks the cap's pins and they fall off). I know when i take a pack off my heli after a flight. If it's overly hot or slightly puffy. Chances are my capacitors have broken contacts again or something else is wrong.
The reason i flew today was to try out my new tx gloves, so i only went behind the house and there ist not realy much space. So i choosed the slow rpm flight mode.
Normaly i fly with much more headspead and also a little bit more agressive :-)
The problem so far was, that the fingers became to cold to fly securly my copters, but with the new tx gloves its much better
Hey guys, I know that you don't like the RX2702. But is the RX802 even the same animal? I mean have they corrected those inherent problems? Does anyone have experience with this receiver? Because I think I might use it on my build... No one seems to have much of a preference with receivers, and I'm too new to distnguish between them...
I think one of the best rx is the 2703, much more relieable and stabler in flight.
Check out the V-clone thread here: https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/show...73111&page=242
These guys are doing more with Walkera RX units. Ask around, they are a helpful bunch. Some of them might know more. I'm pretty sure the RX802 is fine so is the RX701. The main difference is wiring. I don't like the RX802 with wires coming out of the top of it. Otherwise i think it's all the same. In the link above, Kdean has been using 2801-pro RX units with the microbeast and a Walkera 2801-pro TX. Seems to be working a lot better than the 2702V. He was one of the others who is known to have had 2702V lock out issues around here.
Is there something specific about the wires on the Rx802 that could be a disadvantage or even irritating for me? I mean, why don't you like that particular configuration?
It really doesn't matter, but in most cases, if you care about having a clean wire setup where the wires are all nice and everything. You might like the RX701 more. But it really depends on where you end up installing everything i suppose. On your helicopter your going to have plenty of space to mount this stuff. The typical place would be the top RX shelf. In that case you may not want all the wires leading into the top on the RX802. Or you might. I suppose thats all up to you.
Here is a Walkera V450D01 With the 2702V which is similar to the RX701 layout:
Here is a Walkera V450D03 with the 2703H-D which is similar to the RX802 layout:
Personally, i think putting the wire plugs in a elevated position stresses the wires beyond what is necessary. Though this thin, light, individually wired connections can probably handle it fine. My experience with audio equipment and wires is the same with my 32 channel mixer. It has the stereo wire plugs on TOP not the BACK like most mixers. I replace the audio wires like mad! The funny thing is, they don't move and they don't vibrate like on a helicopter. The gravity is enough to foul the wires where they solder to the plugs that get inserted into the mixer. Just from the hard angle bend created by the wire wanting to hang down. I think the same principal applies, except vibration and movement are part of the equation now. That is just my opinion though. Either one works fine. You just have to make sure they don't rub on the sharp edges of your frame. You might even wet sand the corners of your CF frame (careful not to breath or get this stuff around in the house though, especially if you have pets) just to be careful. Some people line the edges with fuel line from the LHS. cut a slit in it and bite it on. Anyway, that is the only thing about the wires. It's how neat and nice and how YOU want them to go. There is no right way to install heli electronics. But there is sometimes a wrong way. Also keep in mind that you can't have the wires tight going into the beastX. If they are tied together too tightly or are pulled tight leading into the gyro. Vibes can be transfered to the gyro. You need to leave some slack between the RX and gyro somewhere for the wires to be loose so vibes don't travel though the tight wires. If i were getting your heli. I would probably investigate putting the Gyro on the top shelf, with the wires leading toward the front of the heli. Then put the RX on the bottom shelf that seems to protrude out under the tail boom. But something tells me a servo is going to be mounted there. So you'll have to kind of work at it on your own. The top shelf has less resonating vibration from the helicopter, typically. So thats where i prefer to mount mine If you go to the bottom shelf above the landing skids you will need to use a thicker more isolating mounting pad. The BeastX comes with them and a thinner one too. Use the thicker one on lower shelves. OR if you are going to have more vibration resonance in your mounting spot then you would like.
I think the RX802 has one extra channel. I think it's a 8 channel and the 701 is 7 channel. But you only need 6 for helicopters. 7 if you might want landing retracts on a scale model or something. Otherwise both RX is the same. I think they have a RX1202 too, that is 12 channels.

Breaking News: We have depth!
With the exception of the second team offensive line (who had absolutely no chance against Johnson's schemes at the start of the second half), our entire team just played great everywhere. The penalties on the first team were crippling, but the execution was there. Kyle looked sharp, when he wasn't getting massacred. DVD came out of hibernation with him. Musa Smith looks like the second coming of 2003 Jamal, though 2006 Jamal sure didn't look too bad, either. On defense, we're just loaded. Everyone in the front seven is just playing great, and that's going to be a hell of a rotation. Aubrayo Franklin is looking eerily similar to Lional Dalton. Justin Bannan is looking like a great pickup, and even Dwan Edwards showed his face tonight. The linebacker corps is looking great beyond the starters. Mike Smith continues to improve his case to be the heir to Ray, and Dan Cody and Gary Stills are running around the field at 100 mph making plays. While the Eagles may not exactly be loaded at wide receiver, their receivers got absolutely ZERO separation against our corners, and that's true for first, second, and third string. Although there's still time, we've yet to see a team successfully take advantage of what we have at that safety position. And Frank Gansz's effect on special teams has been very apparent, though penalties were still an issue in that area.
It's virtually impossible not to be incredibly excited about this team right now. If we can keep those penalties under control, we're looking at a legit contender here. And this is the first time those words have actually come out of my mouth this entire offseason.ERIG20, your local draftnik

Re: Breaking News: We have depth!
first off good to see you here, second off
good post, and I agree our depth at everything but O-line and Punter period looks great
Re: Breaking News: We have depth!
I think DeCosta has done a great job these last 2 drafts stocking the cupboard with a lot of talent. Some of these guys will eventually turn into decent starters.

Re: Breaking News: We have depth!
If we cut these penalties out, we own this game and against a very good Eagles team.
Our defense is sickening. Our DL is so funky that it smells of hot garbage (that's a good thing. I just 70's style). Man, Abreiul Franklin has come out of nowhere and does remind me of Jelly Roll. Apparently, the players are calling him Frank the tank. The play of Bannan, Franklin, Edwards, and Gregg allows for Ngata to develop at a good pace. (Can we covert Bannan to center? Maybe not).
The time of possession was not even close. You have to play like that to beat the Benjails and Steelgirls. Just keep it disciplined.It's a new season! It's a new day!

BTW - thanks
I rolled it out of storage today, sanitized the water system put a new battery in going tomorrow to get 4 more new tires on it and heading out next weekend for some camping, to bad my Jeep is in pieces otherwise I'd toss it on to see how the whole rig does before we goto Harlan in a few weeks....probably throw my wife's car on just to see and to counter balance some of the weight, truck squats big time without something on the back. I think it's time to get the airbags on!

threw some air bags on the truck and took it camping last weekend without the Jeep or anything on the back besides a Barbie Jeep, Flinstones Truck, and a kids bike. Towed awesome with airbags on the truck and no weight on the back of the trailer. One of the front landing gear decided to strip out, time for some semi landing gear don't feel like dealing with breakdowns on the jacks.
Off to Kentucky in a few weeks....if my Jeep is back together!

took our first big trip with the rig down to Harlan, KY and WOW, all I can say is absolutely f'n awesome!!!!!!!! It couldn't have towed any better, it handled so well I was amazed.
Put in a prodigy P2 brake controller, added the DP-Tuner decel tune and had them change the shift PWM. I got between 7.6-8.5mpg, didn't matter if I went 65 or 75, the truck had the best powerband at 2200-2500rpm, so I set the cruise at 70mph (2200rpm), had absolutely no issue in any of the Kentucky mountains. EGT's running the DP-Tuner 20hp tow tune never saw above 1250deg holding it to the wood at times too. I also upgraded to a 6.0L transmission cooler and the trans stayed at 165deg in 95deg heat hauling through the mountains.
I literally couldn't have been any happier with how well it all performed.

Good! How did it fit in the parking lot? It was kinda tight for the motorhomes with trailers when we went and there was hardly anyone there. I imagine there were a lot more people there over memorial day weekend.

In case anyone ever gets the ambition to try something like this I figured I'd keep this thread updated with the different things I've run into. But honestly, not much of any issues so far with about 3000miles on it to date and about 20-25days staying in the camper. The biggest thing is that I'm getting some flex between the camper & deck, gonna stiffen it up with some more steel, piece of 5x3x3/16 under the frame rail (gonna do 20' pieces on each frame rail), picked that size because I need to lift the back of the camper 5" to level it out driving down the road and I'm going to tie the deck steel into the camper frame a few feet in each direction. Lastly, since I'm spacing the axles I'm going to move them back about 20"+/- because the rear axle looks like it's getting a bit more load than the rest but that's as far back as I can go without relocating the genny, and I don't really want to go much further back since it'll just increase my turning radius.
Getting into campsites hasn't been too bad, even though we went up to St. Ignace - Straits State Park and tried to get in the lower section...that was tight so we just drove through and went back up to the upper section and got a pull thru site. We also stayed at Yogi Bear in Silver Lake, I thought that was going to be tight but it was a breeze getting in/out of there.
For now I figured I'd post a few pics of the mods I've done to the landing gear & genny mount. I picked up a set of semi 2-speed landing gear for $100 from a scrap yard, dealt with the hand crank for a few months before I got enough ambition to mod on one of the electric motors from the old landing gear. First I tried just the motor but it wasn't tuff enough so I had to use the gear box that came with the motor as well as the 2-speed gear box on the semi landing gear. It still functions as a 2 speed, but I forgot to take a pic of the final setup with the 2nd gearbox, it just slides on/off for going down the road and has a quick plug for electrical, reuses the existing toggle switch.
Genny isn't anything special, just a home for it is all, still need to wire it up direct and get a remote start for it. Honestly at this point I'm not in a rush on that, only place we've used it is at home on 90+deg days w/100% humidity loading it up for a trip since I don't have a 30amp plug to hook the camper up to on the house.
enough babbling, pics :D

Andrew, I didn't realize you lived in Midland. Drove by your house Friday night, only knew it was your house because the trailer/truck was in the street. Nice setup looks better in person than in the pics. Nice generator, I have the same one for camping :)

Very nice, enjoy!
She's beutiful!!
Though I'm sure she'll be a great one.. I'll be really interested in how she runs..
In metal-frame pistols, the 239 SAS DAO is pretty much my top concealed-carry pick on my "guns I would love but can't shell out that much green for".
Sweet Sig! :smt033
Yep, she's a looker! The problem with carrying a gun like that is you're tempted to show it off all the time...:mrgreen:

text: I looked around for a review on these and didnt find many, so bought a pair and heres what i found out. - Nice build quality - Good comfortable fit - Worst cable design I have ever seen (wtf were they thinking?!) - Easy to be driven - Extremely well defined mids & highs (these are not laid back and softsounding!) - Good soundstage and dynamic range (not excelent) - The lows are great If I had to describe these in one word: Balanced. They have tendency to have a more forward sounding character, but not even close to a grado. They do require some burn in time

Damian Martinez is hoping for a chance to further his first-team credentials against Reading in the Capital One Cup on Tuesday night.
The 20-year-old goalkeeper put in an assured performance on his debut for the Club in last month's 6-1 victory against Coventry City.
The Argentine is expected to get another opportunity to shine at the Madejski Stadium, and is looking forward to showing what he can do.
"The day before [the Coventry match], I was a bit nervous and I wanted to play," Martinez told Arsenal Player. "But when we went to warm up, I was feeling so confident and focused on the game. When the game started the ball was passed to me, I passed it back and thought 'this is my game'.
"Everyone said I had no chance with the goal and it was a great ball from the right wing. But if you're a goalkeeper, you want to keep clean sheets. I didn't and I wasn't too happy.
"Hopefully I'll get a chance against Reading. Reading play in the Premier League so it's going to be a harder game for us [than against Coventry]."
Martinez had been part of the first-team squad for the matches at Stoke and Liverpool this season, and believes those experiences helped prepare him for his debut.
"I've been training with them for so long that you feel like you belong in the squad," he said.
"Hopefully [the players] won't say 'Oh Emi's in goal,' but the opposite - 'Emi is playing - we have a good keeper in goal'. I want them to be confident in me."
Watch the full interview with Damian on Arsenal Player now.
