Hello All. It's been several years but I've gotten the itch again and looking to finish what I regret letting go so many years ago. Looking around the site I was slightly amazed a how the landscape has changed. I guess that happens. I am looking, once again to commission a full ROTJ SE build. From what I can tell there are not many that provide this service. Bobamaker is always a good choice. I have tried RS Propmakers but have not heard anything back.
I realize the cost and how extensive it is. If anyone here can assist in anyway please feel free to shoot me a PM. It's good to be back. Look forward to getting re-acquainted with TDH.

Not sure about what led up to a BMW driver brake checking a guy in a Pajero - but I can tell you that it didn't end up well. Not for the driver, and not for the car.
BMW driver is now being treated in hospital for minor injuries, and the car is in an even worse state.

Take an adventure sailing holiday to the MALDIVES with World Expeditions, one of the world's leading travel companies.
The Maldives are located southwest of Sri Lanka, on the equator and consist of 1,190 coral islands, forming an archipelago of 26 major atolls. The Maldives stretch 820 kilometers north to south and 120 kilometers east to west. Only 202 of the 1190 islands are inhabited and of these 87 are exclusive resort islands.
The origins of the Maldivian's are lost in antiquity, but history reveals that the islands have been populated for over 3,000 years ago. Early settlers were travellers on the Silk Route and from the Indus Valley Civilization. Inherently warm, friendly and hospitable by nature, it is easy to feel comfortable and relaxed with a Maldivian.
On World Expeditions sailing adventures in the Maldives you will swim and snorkel the magical waters coming face to face with the amazing plethora of sea life. During the day your boat will cruise between islands, and at night your boat will moore off remote islands with small settlements, a world away from the resorts.

Indians close to signing veteran Aaron Harang
(GOODYEAR, Ariz.) – The Cleveland Indians have signed veteran right-hander Aaron Harang to a Minor League deal which includes an invite to big league camp in spring training.
Harang, 35, was at the Indians training complex on Saturday morning and told two reporters the deal was nearly complete pending a physical.
Harang, who lives in San Diego, was contacted by the Indians on Friday.
In seven seasons with the Cincinnati Reds Harang won 10 or more games four different times, however over the past couple of years things have been difficult for the 260 lbs. righty. Last season with Seattle and the New York Mets, Harang went a combined 5-12.
Indians manager Terry Francona could not comment on the deal Saturday afternoon because it was not officially complete, however it is believed Harang will compete for the final spot in the Tribe's rotation. Along with Harang, others competing for the fifth spot include Josh Tomlin, Carlos Carrasco and Trevor Bauer.
Harang has spent time with not only the Reds, Mets and Mariners, but also the Dodgers and Athletics.
It appears four spots in the Indians starting rotation are already occupied by Justin Masterson, Zach McAllister, Corey Kluber and Danny Salazar; all right-handers.
Harang has spent 12 years in Major League Baseball and has compiled a win-loss record of 11-116 during that time.

Generally speaking, given the exact same aiming point and decent shooting technique, the impact point of a heavier bullet will be higher than that of a lighter bullet.
However, this effect also is dependent upon the zero of the pistol, versus the distance from muzzle to target.
Given a 25-yard zero, the impact points of the two bullet weights at seven yards will be very close together.
...If you shoot with good technique, that is.

PROJECT Trio is comprised of beat-boxing flutist Greg Pattillo, cellist Eric Stephenson and bassist Peter Seymour. Known for performing classical music with a high-octane mix of jazz, hip-hop and rock, they will perform with the Amarillo Symphony on February 21 and 22 at the Globe-News Center for the Performing Arts at 8:00pm. The program will include their interpretation of Rossinis Overture to William Tell, Prokofievs Peter and the Wolf and a number of original works. PROJECT Trio will also appear at an encore performance at Symphony Underground at 10pm Feb 22 and lead a number of educational activities during their visit.
Combining the virtuosity of world-class artists with the energy of rock stars, PROJECT Trio is breaking down traditional ideas of chamber music. Since their formation in 2005, PROJECT Trio has become one of the most popular instrumental ensembles of its generation, playing over 100 performances worldwide each year for fans of all ages in venues around the world, from clubs to Carnegie Hall. Using social media to broaden their reach, the Trio has its own YouTube channel, which has over 78 million views and 85,000 subscribers, making PROJECT Trio one of the most watched instrumental ensembles on the internet.
PROJECT Trio's discography includes five recordings and a DVD, PROJECT Trio: Live In Concert. This season will see the release of their 6th recording of original new music. Their latest recordings When Will Then Be Now (Harmonyville Records) and their catalog-spanning Random Roads Collection (Tummy Touch Records), debuted at the top of both the Billboard Canadian and US classical and jazz charts. Like all of the other PROJECT Trios recordings, both soared to the top of the iTunes charts. Recently on NPR's Morning Edition and NPR Music's series, Heavy Rotation, hosts around the US selected Sweet Pea, from PROJECT's 2012 Random Roads Collection album, as "one of the best new tunes out there."
Highlights of the Trios 2013-14 season include engagements with the San Diego, Kansas City, Canton, Lafayette and New World Symphony Orchestras, and a continued relationship as Family Artists in Residence with the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra. They will also perform and lead masterclasses in schools, universities, festivals and other venues throughout the United States and return to Europe for two tours of Germany.
Recent performance highlights include appearances and collaborations with the Charlotte, Detroit, Milwaukee, Saint Louis and New Jersey Symphonies, the Britt Festival, the Mainly Mozart Festival and the Chicago Sinfonietta. Their international tours have included concerts in France, Germany, Austria, Canada, Australia and Hong Kong.

Ask the Expert: IPsec VPN
- Gold, 750 points or more
With Marcin Latosiewicz
Welcome to the Cisco Support Community Ask the Expert conversation. This is an opportunity to Get an update on IPsec VPN with Cisco expert Marcin Latosiewicz who will answer questions on the topic of best practices when implementing IPsec VPNs on IOS and ASA. Marcin Latosiewicz is a Customer Support Engineer at the Cisco Technical Assistance Center in Belgium, which over four years of experience with Cisco Security products and technologies including IPSec, VPN, internetworking appliances, network and systems security, internet services and Cisco networking equipment.
Remember to use the rating system to let Marcin know if you have received an adequate response.
Marcin might not be able to answer each question due to the volume expected during this event. Remember that you can continue the conversation on the Security sub-community discussion forum shortly after the event. This event lasts through December 9th, 2011. Visit this forum often to view responses to your questions and the questions of other community members.
Hi Kleber
Not knowing your settings and assuming some Cisco defaults it could be a problem during phase 1 rekey (86400 seconds is the default).
What I would also look into whether by any chance you do not have vpn idle timeout or vpn session timeout applied for you (what I assume is) Lan to Lan tunnels.
Check logs on ASA (we drop some logs on informational level) on failure.
If you feel like debugging - debug cry isakmp 127 .
What I would suggest regardless is to open a TAC case, there's quite a few problems we saw in the past with Sonicwall.
Mostly smaller problems with (mis)configuration, but occasionally a bug (on either side).
We need more info :-)
HTH and GL,

Pending on which grip insert you use, the crimson trace will fit the XDM.
As far as concealability, the SC will be easier to hide due to the shorter grip.
Pending on where you live, it might be harder to conceal the "M" as it is longer and will, in most cases at least require a cover garment which may not be feasible due to climate.
Pro and cons are about the same, meaning that pending on your point of view the differences between the two can be pros or cons.
I like a full grip and lots of bullets and don't mind dressing around the gun, so the "Pros" of the "M" don't bother me.
The SC has pros of being easier to conceal, but to me that's a con as I like the full grip.

What ocean heating reveals about global warming
The heat content of the oceans is growing and growing. That means that the greenhouse effect has not taken a pause and the cold sun is not noticeably slowing global warming.
NOAA posts regularly updated measurements of the amount of heat stored in the bulk of the oceans. For the upper 2000 m (deeper than that not much happens) it looks like this:
Change in the heat content in the upper 2000 m of the world's oceans. Source: NOAA
The amount of heat stored in the oceans is one of the most important diagnostics for global warming, because about 90% of the additional heat is stored there (you can read more about this in the last IPCC report from 2007). The atmosphere stores only about 2% because of its small heat capacity. The surface (including the continental ice masses) can only absorb heat slowly because it is a poor heat conductor. Thus, heat absorbed by the oceans accounts for almost all of the planet's radiative imbalance.
If the oceans are warming up, this implies that the Earth must absorb more solar energy than it emits longwave radiation into space. This is the only possible heat source. That's simply the first law of thermodynamics, conservation of energy. This conservation law is why physicists are so interested in looking at the energy balance of anything. Because we understand the energy balance of our Earth, we also know that global warming is caused by greenhouse gases – which have caused the largest imbalance in the radiative energy budget over the last century.
If the greenhouse effect (that checks the exit of longwave radiation from Earth into space) or the amount of absorbed sunlight diminished, one would see a slowing in the heat uptake of the oceans. The measurements show that this is not the case.
The increase in the amount of heat in the oceans amounts to 17 x 1022 Joules over the last 30 years. That is so much energy it is equivalent to exploding a Hiroshima bomb every second in the ocean for thirty years.
The data in the graphs comes from the World Ocean Database. Wikipedia has a fine overview of this database. The data set includes nine million measured temperature profiles from all of the world's oceans. One of my personal heroes, the oceanographer Syd Levitus, has dedicated much of his life to making these oceanographic data freely available to everyone. During the Cold war that even landed him in a Russian jail for espionage for a while, as he was visiting Russia on his quest for oceanographic data (he once told me of that adventure over breakfast in a Beijing hotel).

Need Help in Ohio
I don't know how may of you rodders live up here in the great northeast of Ohio, but if you do, I am seeking some help.
This morning was a balmy 12 degrees, and there is about 6 inches of snow on the ground. My garage door is broke in the "almost" closed position. I don't think its going to get any warmer for a time.
The Intrepid I drive is stuck in "failsafe" (2nd gear "Limp Home Mode"), and there are a couple of adjustments I need to check, and I may have to do a repair which involves dropping the tranny pan (not the WHOLE thing). Is there anybody nearby that would be willing to lend a warm garage for a weekend day or two? This thing is driving me nuts not being able to go much faster than 35-40mph, and I think I can get it fixed without too much fuss. I have the tools and manpower, but this weather is for *****!
If its something you can do, please PM me. I would also "barter" or offer you something for your trouble.

Thanks. This is my second design ever. I went on a trip this weekend so only had about 4 hours to do this. I wish the linework was a bit thicker. The first idea was a kid like writing a happy mother's day card and thought of his mom as a hero, but then I thought the kid sleeping would get more warm fuzzy type feelings instead. It may have been better executed in my head than this way I suppose.
wreckoning wrote:looks like this was just traced without the yellow and then rotated
Nope, I didn't steal an image off the internet and trace it, this is from my own picture I took just the other day and it took forever to make.
But it's been rejected anyway now because it was deemed off topic.

Hey IByron! Nice to see you on shirt.woot. Glad you like the design. I thought the explanation helped people see what was going on with the design. But, I know what you mean.

I have no personal squabble with either gentry or cho, but I'm so sick of seeing the same designs getting resubmitted all the time. It's almost as if every time w00t comes up with some buttery croissant-ass theme, all the "good" designers resubmit something that lost because they know it'll be the best of the rest. Pretty weak. You two have great design skills, but now it's beginning to look like you have very little originality. Too bad I can't draw, because even *I* have had original ideas with each Derby.

Sparklzk! Your entry is my daughter's favorite. (She's almost 4 and very discriminating in her art choices. ) She's not always kind to the derby entries, so it's fun to hear her express what she likes in her derby favorites.
Congratulations on getting to the fog! It'll provide a rollercoaster ride of emotions.
This shirt has everything to do with the topic. And as far as being original, many shirts in the derby are based on or inspired by something. A shirt based on a video game won the derby before last, why not a TV show?
jbedwar1 wrote:i agree.. i like it better with the text and think people would be less likely to have to explain the shirt. Great job.
Dsladek- You have 24 hours from the time you submitted a design to remove it. In your case, you may be splitting votes by submitting two versions of the same design. If I were you, I'd keep the first one (with the text). This is how you envisioned the design and I think you should stick with your gut instinct. It's doing well with the voters too.
Good luck. Great work!
dsladek wrote:really? Does anyone else feel the same? I like the text but I will resub it without the text if you guys want, let me know what you think.
I absolutely love this. I would wear it with or without the text, but as a mother, I like the text better because it makes a clear (and funny!) statement. Someone who is not a mother might prefer it without the text. Posting it both ways was a good idea and it will be fun to see which one prevails. I hope one of them makes it to the top three!

Well, its finally time for me to start up a build thread for my 91 GLI 1.8t swap.
A buddy of mines cousin had this GLI sitting outside of his garage in NY for the past 3+ years, so we decided to make a road trip and scoop it up.
Got it home without any problems, minus a freak hail storm in the middle of April
Not in the best shape but thats how it sat for a few months while I was up in Baltimore for work. Once that job was over the work started and i was able to get it started with a new starter, battery, and fuel filter. Was very happy with the way it ran, because the orifinal plan was to turbo the 16v.
Until I came across a 1.8t that a buddy was selling, so i decided to go down and get that to swap in instead of the 16v turbo plan.
It is an AWW motor out of an 01 golf with about 100K miles on it. that came with:
-GT28RS (converted to an external wastegated setup)
-STG 2 SPEC clutch and LW flywheel
-EUROJET I/C core and piping
-Tial wastegate
-Forge (007?) BOV/DV
-STG 3 revo tuned ECU that will be updated
-Genesis 440cc Injectors
I have a few more plans for the motor, but nothing crazy.
I only have time to work on this about 2 or 3 times a week, because of work and being a full time college student, but my goal is to have it done by the beginning of next show season. I have also never done this swap before so all help is very welcome and appreciated.
And cant leave my DD/former project out.

Reminds of the keystone cops.
How many "undocumented immigrants" were in that van? It was like a circus car full of clowns.
Reckon that cop is embarrassed to have that video shown? Imagine how much hell his fellow officers gave him!
I counted an even dozen and I think he got one. I don't know the location in South Texas but they have checkpoints on the North side of a N/S roads which is why they bail and head north overland around the checkpoints.
I've seen that before and it kills me. The music just makes it "wet yourself" funny!
bps3040: Sir; that were'nt funny
Gotta go change now
That was great!
Do you know why Santa Anna only took 1,500 soldiers to fight at the Alamo?
He only had two pickup trucks.
I counted 13... one of the ones you may have counted may have been a officer who pulled up in the begining and started to chase
WOW that was great. Feel sorry for him but not much he could do and yeah he is prolly catching some flak but it was kinda a lose lose situation from the start. The music was classic though

Advice needed on a Cutout
July 04, 2009, 09:11:15 PM »
Okay guys, I got a call about some bees living in the wall of a second floor bedroom today.
The people don't live there anymore, the house is empty but they stopped by to check on it and found bees flying around the bedroom and some dead bees scattered around the floor.
I went down there to check it out and I found insulation piled up in a corner of the room so I put my ear against that wall and heard the hum so I popped off the boards surrounding a pipe that ran through the room. I found bees flying around in there and was able to see that they were building just above that area in the slanted part of the ceiling.
I cut into the ceiling and found only 3 small combs with some pollen and eggs in it.
I did not see the queen but took all the comb and a large ball of bees covering it.
These bees have just taken up residence from what I can tell.
I cut the combs and put them into a couple of frames and scooped/brushed out a lot of bees.
They don't have much food stored at all and a handful of eggs.
Now here is what I am not sure about.
I really don't think I have the queen. All of the comb has been removed as well as the majority of the bees.
There are bees still hiding out between the cracks of the wood planks that run the length of the ceiling.
I can't go ripping out boards looking for them because they are most likely everywhere and it won't accomplish anything since I have the comb.
The bees are in a hive body, I nailed a screened inner cover on the bottom and put an inner cover on top.
I didn't leave them any entrance to get out as this is how I am going to be moving them.
I set that on top of another box and a screened bottom board.
I came home to eat dinner with the family and I am hoping some of the strays will find the bottom box appealing.
They can see, hear and smell the rest of the colony in the screened in box so maybe they will head in.
I checked outside before I left and I saw bees heading in through the hole in the outside of the house.
I went inside and found that some of the bees were coming right into the bedroom from that hole and there were a couple flying around the hive bodies I left out.
So anyway, I am going to go back over and see what is happening but am open to any advice or thoughts on how long to wait on those other bees or whether I should set up a lure outside, what to do about the queen etc.
They have a contractor that will come over and make all the repairs when I tell them its okay to do so how long would you give them?

If you think you didn't get the queen and there are still bees wandering around in the space, I would leave a piece of comb with brood that is easily assessable in the hole. Given a few hours, most of the bees and possible the queen if she is still there will move to the comb.
This is a trick I learned from Iddee and have had good success with it. Especially whne there are a lot og cracks and crevices for them to hid form the bee vac.

Wow Natalie
Is this your first cutout??? Sounds sort of complicated to me. I just received a phone call from a man with bees up under his eaves, second story up. They have been there over a week and he even said a few flew into his house from the fire place. Yiks, I don't know what is happening with him, but I turned the job over to a more experienced beekeeper who was very happy to climb way up a ladder.
I just could not deal with climbing up that high.
You are very brave to take on this job. I did one cutout with lots of help, but I would never attempt any by myself.

Natalie, even if you've removed all comb sections, it is very likely the bees will recluster where the hive was to rebuild the colony and the queen will most likely move with the rest of the bees to the cluster.
Go back and check the cluster, she will most likely be amongst them.
If they have not moved out you could run them out with a little beequick as long as you get the fumes in front of them.
Best of luck!

Thanks so much for the input. I went back tonight after dinner and I didn't see any bees in the wall but there were maybe 50 or so bees that congregated on the windows.
I realize they probably are hiding in the cracks and crevices between the planking in the wall.
I blocked up the outside entrance so they can't head back outside in the morning and hopefully I can get the rest of them.
I will put a piece of comb there like you suggested Robo.
JP I was wondering about using some bee quick to drive the rest out, thanks.
Annette, yes this is my first cutout. I almost turned it over to someone else when I heard it was in the corner of the exterior of the house and then I said what the heck, I'll at least go and look at it.
It turned out they were building the comb right behind a panel where pipes run through so it was easy enought to get to.
I had my husband with me, he doesn't know anything about doing a cutout but he helped me with whatever I thought needed to be done.
I have been reading as much as I can online about doing cutouts so if the opportunity ever arose I would be somewhat prepared so I just told my husband what I thought we should do and we got lucky with an easy enough one.
Its a good learning experience for both of us, he is really starting to get into the bees now so its been nice to have a hobby together.
The best part is that I took my son along at the last minute so he could see a cutout.
He is the one I gave a hive to this year, he is almost 7 and LOVES anything bees.
He asked me if he could come along and the look on his face was pure desperation, he just had to go.
I figured if things weren't going well we were only one town away and one of us could always bring him back home.
It worked out great though so now he has helped catch a swarm and do a cutout.
He is becoming very knowledgeable about bees and I am so proud of him.
So anyway, another adventure in beekeeping.
I really wish I got the queen but I just have this feeling that I didn't. I know you don't always see the queen in a colony but they aren't acting like they have a queen
When I caught the swarm there were bees fanning outside calling the other bees with their nasonov glands and the bees were flying right into the hive.
I don't see that happening here.
I will go back in the morning and see what is going on with them.
Thanks for all the help and support everyone.
I will let you know what happens after I get them in the morning.

I'm very happy for you Natalie that your family is getting involved and sharing in the excitement of keeping bees. This is absolutely wonderful to hear. And to think, you're the one who can mentor them, and delegate responsibilities. Put them boys to work Natalie! ;)

Congrats! It is funny how us girls can get 'those guys' top help on cutouts! :evil: I did a removal from an old farm house and my 'helper' worked out just great on his first cutout....he did say that he wanted nothing more to do with bees though.... :roll:
You did well, as you gained experience. You need experience and the only way that you will get it, is by doing....after time, you can tell what needs to be done and remember that each cutout is different! Lots of surprises in doing cutouts!
Those old houses and buildings have been built on to over the years and you never know what you will find structure wise! I once found part of a log cabin while doing a cutout! It was in TN and some years ago, but it shocked even the owners of the home....they had built a large two story home around a log cabin and covered it up!

I went over to the house today to check on things a couple of times.
The house is empty and only one town over so its not a big deal to check, the contractor they use is allergic to bees so he wants to give it a few days to be sure he won't run into any bees.
After removing the majority of the bees I had gone back that evening and found maybe 1000 more bees across the walls and windows of the bedroom.
Got them gathered up and made sure there weren't any more around so that I could gauge how much more were there by how many showed up again in the morning.
So I went back yesterday and there were maybe 50 on the walls.
Today I went back and there were only 5 bees.
I had been seeing bees in between the cracks of the boards but now I don't see any inside the wall at all.
They are flying around the outside of the eves, although there seem to be less and less of them.
I can stand inside the house and look directly outside at them flying around the eves, some had been darting right into the room but now they seem to be going to the left.
I watched some of them go into the space under the eves that they had been using as an entrance but I don't know where they are going from there.
I no longer hear any buzzing in the walls and there are only a few bees making it into the room in the house.
Do you all think they are just dwindling down and it will be the end of it soon?
I had put the box of bees in a hive with a screened entrance underneath the eves with some lemon grass oil as a lure but only 5 bees or so were buzzing around it.
They could move into the bottom box if they were so inclined but they don't appear to be.
I am really wondering about the queen now.
I was sure I did not get her but where is she?
I have not gone through the colony since the cutout because I was giving them a chance to settle down, but I wonderif I actually did get her.
If not, what do you think is going on here.
How long will she hide out while the colony dwindles away?

90%.....you got her
9%......She absconded
1% or less, she is still there.
Good job. I think you have yourself another hive.

Thank you iddee, I am so glad that I decided to go for it.
I had been concerned that I wasn't going to be successful in getting all the bees when they were hiding in the cracks of the woodwork but by tonight I am feeling good about the way things went, especially since I just got your post. ;)
I am heading over shortly to bring home the hive and get them settled into the yard.
Thanks to everyone who gave me so much advice and support, it really means alot :)

Thats right Jim, that was a conicidence wasn't it?!
Jim was with me at field day when I got a queen cell for my queenless hive, actually he is the one that spoke up and got it for me when they man was looking for people to give them to.
I was a little shy about speaking up and asking for one so Jim said , right here right here, she needs one. ;)
He was so sweet to help me out, thanks again Jim.
She was to hatch on July 4 and I was told to not peek until then.
Its been rainy here for a couple of days so I am hoping tomorrow is sunny enough for me to peek into the hive and see if I have a new reining queen.
This will have worked out perfectly getting two new hives now.
This beekeeping thing is really fun. ;)

Don't be surprised or worried if you don't see anything. A newly emerged queen isn't much larger than a worker and is extremely hard to find. You aren't likely to have eggs for at least a week and probably two weeks before you see any.

Thanks iddee that is good to know, now I won't worry if I don't see her or eggs right away.
This is the first time I have put a queen cell in a hive or had a virgin queen so I wasn't sure how the time line worked and when to look for eggs.
She is suppose to be of some desireable stock and I have some decent varied genetics among my hives
(if drones from my beeyard mate with her at all) so I am hoping this will turn things around for that hive and get them built up for wintering.
I will keep my eye out in the next couple of weeks for eggs now. Thanks again.

Great Jim thanks, thats right, the guy said to expect july 4th babies.
I am hoping to go into the hives tomorrow if its sunny enough.
It didn't rain here today but it was very overcast and gloomy and I didn't think they would be in the best of moods so I am hoping to go into them tomorrow, I only need to check 4 hives so even if its sunny for a little while I can get it done.
The bees from the cutout are extremely gentle, no stings taking them out of the wall and they seemed pretty mellow when I brought them home and hived them.
I know that could change but it was great to have such gentle bees for my first cutout.
From their coloring I am assuming they are italians and they swarmed from a nearby beekeeper and set up shop in the eves of this house.

I checked the hive today that I put the queen cell in and it was successful, I saw the queen (she is orange) and I also saw eggs.
I lucked out spotting both.
I had to do an inspection on that hive anyway and had been holding off because of the queen cell I had put in there and the bad weather we have been having.
Today was warm and sunny so it was a good day to peek in.
I think it was the second frame that I pulled that she happened to be just walking across.
After I spotted her I looked a little closer at the comb and found eggs.
I decided not to mess with the hive too much, I was just glad that things worked out.
The cutout went well, there are no more bees flying around anywhere near or in their house so the homeowners are very happy.
The girls I had to relocate are now situated in my vegetable garden and seem to be settling down nicely in their new digs.
Thank you to all for your guidance and support.

By Richard Clarke
Olivier Giroud knows Arsenal will not have to wait long to register their first victory of the season.
The French striker made his full debut at Stoke on Sunday as Arsène Wenger's side played out their second successive scoreless draw of the campaign.
Giroud had arguably Arsenal's best chance in the dying seconds when his long-range effort grazed the top of the net.
"I hoped it would go in," he said afterwards in ever-improving English. "I saw the keeper off his line and I did not see Aaron [in the middle] for a cross. So I tried to take my chance.
"[It means] we have to wait for our [first] victory. But it is coming soon. We played well and had some good situations in front of goal. We just have to score now - me too.
"But I gave it all today. It was a hard game against a big team. But I felt good in the game and we missed one little thing - a goal.
"But there are a lot of good players here at Arsenal. It is easy to play with them. We need a little more time to come together."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

The church's early-2008 15" MacBook Pro is starting to need replaced for my day-to-day usage. The battery's almost completely shot, I never upgraded the OS past 10.5 Leopard, and frankly I'm getting a little tired of lugging it around.
Anyway, while I'd love a new laptop, I'm thinking that instead I'll go with the new iPad and a 21.5" iMac. I'll probably buy the iPad now and then get the iMac after they refresh the line later this year sometime. Combined, they cost about the same as what I'd spend buying a new MacBook Pro.
The thought is that the iMac can stay at the church (to be used with ProPresenter on Sundays and in the office during the week), and I can use the iPad everywhere I go during the week. I plan to get one of the remote desktop apps for the iPad so that I can connect to the iMac remotely if I need to dip into an OS X app on the go or grab a file I don't have in Dropbox, etc. I already own Apple's bluetooth keyboard, and I plan to have that in my bag along with the iPad, in case I need to do some extended typing while I'm at home or in a coffeeshop or wherever.
On a recent trip with some other pastors, I saw one using his iPad + keyboard to do some sermon work on an airplane, and I think that finally convinced me to take the plunge.
Are any of you doing something like this? How do you like it?

Manchester teen featured in hospital's lip-sync video dies of cancer
Staff Report | February 04. 2014 8:12PM
Maggie Philbrook was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer last February. The Manchester 13-year-old died on Saturday. FAMILY PHOTO
The 13-year-old, who died Saturday, had a prominent role in a video of patients at Children's Hospital at Dartmouth-Hitchcock lip-syncing the Katy Perry hit "Roar."
Maggie Philbrook lip-syncs from her hospital bed in a scene from the Children's Hospital at Dartmouth "Roar" video. The video drew more than 4 million views online. YOUTUBE
The video has been updated with comments bidding farewell to Maggie, who had a rare form of cancer.
The video's rapid popularity prompted news stories, including a call to be interviewed on CNN's "Piers Morgan Live."
"When she saw it was on Buzzfeed, she went crazy," Byrne-Philbrook recalled. "There was so much attention," she said. "Through all of it, she really was content to just be Maggie." Calling hours are scheduled for Friday at Lambert Funeral Home, 1799 Elm St., Manchester, from 3 to 8 p.m.

j4, I saw your post on the stinger missile in the ammo discussion..
They do not want to fire one at this bad boy.. It literally fly's with a radar shield around it.
Anything fired at it, bounces off the shield and is deflected. That is even if they can get a round off. Soon as any bad guy radar locks on the plane, it instantly fires a missile at it.
Would guess they are installing the system in other jets.
Rumor has it, the jet is capable of such G force turns, they had to tone it down so as not to hurt the pilots.
