Thanks Alan!
No one lives forever, the trick is creating something that will.
Yeah! Happy Birthday Dan!!!!!! I had no idea - I rarely load the Hotrodder's Homepage. Hope your b'day was a good one!
And thanks again for all of your help!
I know I haven't updated my project journal in a while, but rest assured my hands haven't been idle. We have 2 people out with injuries at work (one dislocated his shoulder and the other blew out his knee for the second time this year,) and that's messing with my work schedule. Between that, canceled classes, and having family over for Thanksgiving, I just haven't had time to sit down and type out the updates. I have been chronicling everything with my camera, so it's just a matter of getting time to sit down and type descriptions. I'll get on it either this evening or tomorrow morning.
One thing I can say without hesitation is that SEM Color Coat really reeks!
So much for making plans. I started updating the journal today, and will keep going until I'm all caught up. It might take a couple of days to do. Still a lot going on here. A sudden windfall has also kept us busy spending money on things we've really needed and paying bills. We're getting a new living room set delivered tomorrow, so today is a combination of moving out old furniture, vacuuming and shampooing carpets, and just tidying up the living room in general.
For those of you who are keeping score, I have 2 more classes this semester. The seat WILL be done in time - I plan on taking the completed seat in this Tuesday night. I'll add the finished plastic corner caps in class so that the final touch will be done there - kind of a symbolic thing, but hey...
I enrolled in the Advanced Upholstery class next semester, and I'll tackle the interior of my boat then. I'm also taking welding classes, so my time is going to be split between getting dirty in the metal shop and cleaning up to upholster my boat. Classes start January 22nd.
Another thing that has been keeping me away from the computer is assembling my new table saw, which took a full day to do. I'll need a table saw to cut out new plywood pieces for the boat interior, and the motor burned out on my old one. I got a new Rigid model #3650 10" contractor's saw, and so far I love it!
I also ordered a Sew Quiet servo motor for my Juki, and it should be here Monday or Tuesday. I also have a couple more back-cut welting feet ordered, and they should get here next week as well.
All in all, it's been a busy month. I'll be posting here and there as I have time, but for now I'm off to move furniture.
No rush ... take your time -- we're all getting busy at this point, with the holidays!
You're gonna love that SewQuiet motor, Mark!
Ok, the seat is done! I'm updating the project journal as I have time, and I'm writing as fast as I can. Everything turned out pretty well. I made some mistakes, and learned a LOT in this class. I'm already registered for the Advanced Upholstery class, and have plans on doing my boat upholstery for the class. It's not very big job - it's a lot of small jobs that equal a big job.
Again, I'll update as I have time, and I'll try to have it done in just a few days.
Those adhesives were provided by the school. This semester is over, thank God, and I won't see Bob again until the end of January when the next semester starts. I'll ask him then who his supplier is, if you'd like.
Congratulations, Mark!
He's Baaaaaaaak!
Well, that was fun. Lot's of upheavals, some bad luck, and real life just getting in the way have conspired against me. This includes a change in jobs, a hard drive giving up the ghost, a company closing down, and losing lots of pictures and updates for the project journal.
I've pieced things back together and gotten myself back online, so the updates to the project journal will be forthcoming starting later this evening. I got a chance to log on and look at the site from my wife's computer at her office, but I didn't get to stay very long - and I certainly didn't have anything to post from there. Well, I'm back, and I'll get cracking.
Be warned folks - Specbrands has evidentially gone out of business, taking my money along with it, and not shipping my motor, so I'm out $149.00. What I can piece together is they stopped shipping in October, but left their website up until well into December, taking orders and collecting funds the entire time. I ordered my motor in November, so I was right in the middle of that whole mess. My bank is doing what they can to settle things with them, but it doesn't look good so far. You might want to check it out and take down the link from your site, Alan. Anybody in Boca Raton, Florida want to go knock on some doors?
Like I said, I'll start posting updates this evening, and getting the project journal finished up. Right now I have a few loose ends to tie up here on this computer, and some software updates to download and install, so that's going to take up most of my time this afternoon. I'll come back later and start uploading.
Cheers everyone!
Ok, I posted 3 updates this evening, and the final two will get posted tomorrow evening. I still have a lot going on with updates to this computer being downloaded and installed, so posting time is still just a bit limited. I'll get it though.
I found another supplier (same price) and changed the link on my site:
Here's the new supplier - Click Here
Sorry to hear about your computer crashing, etc.!
Ok, the final updates have been made, and the journal is done. For now, anyway...
I've learned a lot from this project - primarily to slow down and do it right the first time. I learned to take more pictures than you'll ever think you'll need as you take things apart, because you'll need them when it comes time to put things back together. I have a total of 307 pictures of the Chevy seat project, and that still wasn't enough. There were a lot of little details I couldn't see in my pictures, but needed to see those details when it came time to work in that area. Lesson learned.
This semester, I've moved on to doing the interior of my wife's hot rod - a Dodge Dart Swinger. This is going to be a fun project, because I'll be doing 2 seats (front split bench and standard rear,) 2 rear quarter panels, 2 front door panels, and a rigid headliner. I'll cheat and buy carpet, and I'm debating on having the dash pad redone professionally, or using a cover. I've seen some well done dash covers that looks so much like a stock dash, you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference.
I have no plans to document that interior as heavily as I did the Chevy bench seat, but I'll post pictures and descriptions as I make progress. I'm working on the back seat now, and have the old covers off, cut apart, and getting them ready to use for patterns. I'll start on the front seat this weekend. My wife still has to decide on what colors she wants, but she knows she wants cloth "hidden seam" or "tuck & roll" inserts in the seats. (Hint - time to do that tutorial, Dan ) We'll see if I'm up to that or not
Thanks to everyone in this forum for giving me so much encouragement and inspiration, along with the motivation to actually try this. Thanks especially to Dan for being my long-distance mentor, and providing me with more help than you'll ever know you provided me. I really appreciate you sending the Seat-a-lator, and hope to repay you one day - even though you say otherwise
Thanks for following along folks. I'll see you around the forums!
There's no need to feel obligated to me in any way, Mark. It was my pleasure to help you out with the seat-a-lator. I'm glad you're back in business now. If you need help with the seats, just let me know.
No one lives forever, the trick is creating something that will.
Of course you know I'm going to take you up on that, Dan. I'll be doing some new things this time, and I'm sure I'll have a bunch of questions - although most of them won't have anything to do with sewing this time...
These Dodge seats are so old, the vinyl on the top of the rear seat back shatters if you put any pressure at all on it. I'm going to be using marine grade vinyl for that reason. We really get some intense sun here, and the UV rays have just baked the bejezus out of the vinyl. I'll probably have to soak those pieces for a few hours to get them pliable enough to use for a pattern. Oh well - I'll get it.

In episode 61 of MicrobeWorld Video, filmed at the American Association for the Advancement of Science Meeting in Vancouver, Canada on February 17th, 2012, Dr. Stan Maloy talks with Richard Lenski Ph.D., Hannah Professor of Microbial Ecology, Michigan State University, about his research into the evolution of bacteria and the new frontier of digital evolution.
Lenski's Long Term Evolution Experiment with E. coli has seen over 50,000 new generations since its inception in 1998. This has led to insights such as how viruses can evolve from types that don't infect humans to ones that do.
Lenski's work with E. coli has also led him into the digital world. Using computers, Lenski can achieve precise, rapid results by manipulating digital organisms. Software that evolves much like bacteria in the real world.
Lenski is optimistic about the future of evolution research. Applying the generalities that have resulted from his studies to any number of other microbial species. He also sees large potential in applying what he's learned to the study of antibiotic resistance and bioengery.

My daughter asked me a question tonight that I couldn't really answer.
She asked me if she went waterfowl hunting with me, but didn't want to carry a gun or shoot...and only work the dog....does she need a hunting license and/or stamps. (she is 12)
I have just signed her up for a hunter safety course but I still don't have the correct answer to give. I told her that I figured if she was touching ducks or geese or engaged in the retrieving part of hunting, that she would most likely be considered hunting.
Is that the correct answer?

Copypasta from a post in another thread. This list shows what MMORPGs (Free to Play ones) have PK / Open PVP. In case **** doesn't update his list on MMOHut.com, this one will be with user input. If you find a game that's Free to Play and has PK / Open PVP, please reply to this thread so I can add it to the opening post. The thread also now has a Duel-Only / Arena Only Section
- PK / Open PVP / FvF (You're there!)
- Restricted PK / PVP / Servers / Channels
- Duels / Guild Wars / Arenas Only
Open World PVP / PK / Faction Versus Faction
This means that the MMORPG has Open World PVP / PK and is not always restricted to FvF. Some of these MMORPGs have disciplinary debuffs and point systems to balance the issue of greifing, blackmailing, trolling, etc. This section is for all servers and channels. Safe Zones are also usually added to help balance these issues as well (Usually around NPC Villages, etc.)
Age of Armor §
PK Maps, according to google.
It may have PVE Servers. However, all of its servers have at least Faction-based PK and if you're in an area that has a territory war going, that entire area is open PVP / PK, no matter if it's a PVE Server. New players must watch out, as citizen players may gank / attack non-citizen / faction players. It sports a 30-day newbie armor set from the item mall that has the stats of level 40 equipment. Using this set, you will be able to get to the third or fourth areas easily, if you keep buying said set. After that though, prepare to be ganked and blackmail, as Aika has trolls and whatnot in the PVE Servers that like to troll new players that don't know that PVE Servers have PK / PVP all over.
According to this page, it says "As with anywhere else, when you defeat an opponent of the opposite faction, or an NPC from the Baluar". Also some faction versus faction in the 2.0 expansion: http://gameguide.na.aiononline.com/aion/Patch+Notes+2.0
According to user Dmytro, Allods is Open PVP past the new player maps. Even users at Level 1 can participate.

Anarchy Online §
Source: PvP Guide -- Anarchy Online: Lost Eden Vault
According to Vinzix, there are zone PVP Areas, however, some story / required quests are in them. You will be required to PK / PVP In such zones. Vinzix did not know the level at which these happen.
ARGO Online
Faction-Based PVP / Open PVP / PK. After level 30 maps, you will be subject to PK / Open PVP against the other faction. No way to avoid it.

Although it doesn't say such on the FAQ, the game will ask you if you agree to PK rules, and say "You are entering PK Mode" when joining the server.

Kal Online § (All communities are offline / inactive / etc.)
According to user VaNilleZ, it has many PVP PK Options: Dueling is a standard "someone asks you to duel." Assassin is where you put on a special piece of equipment known as the "Assassin Mask," which allows you to kill anyone you meet, save for safe zones. Triangular Battles is a standard tournament sign-up system. Castle Wars is a standard Defend / Capture system. Protecting The Leader is a system where guilds face off, while protecting their guild leader from harm. There are three rounds in this system. Each round, roles are reversed, attackers become defenders and vice-verse. Suffering Valley is where two guilds take on hordes of monsters to gain points. Higher level monsters are worth more points and killing players from the opposing guild awards even more points. After one hour, the guild with the most points is the winner. Key Point Destruction is where two teams destroy towers. After three small towers are destroyed, a giant tower appears and is the next target. The team with the most kills and most tower destruction, wins. (Source)

Luna Plus
At some point, some maps have PK / PVP that's unavoidable. (Source)
Maestia (§ Community Forums Down)There are three types of areas in game. Safe, restricted, and PvP. Safe zones allow no PvP. Restricted PvP zones allow PvP but with a bit of limitations (more on this later). PvP zones allow unrestricted PvP action. If a player kills enough players in restricted PvP zones, they become flagged as a griefer. When you're flagged, your name turns RED! Once your name is red, if you're killed in a restricted PvP zone, you drop all. of. your. gear. (unless it's marked "never drop.") It does take a bit to be flagged, and if you are flagged as a griefer, extended good behavior (and time spent) in game will allow you to lose the red name, and live life as a normal Luvinian!

From user Lenero: Another open world PVP / PK game. People use the PVP / PK to "De-level" by dying and losing exp. This allows a player to grind easily and farm job points to increase the skills they have. High levels will hunt down lower leveled people to accomplish it.

After Level 20, you are forced to PK, everywhere, outside of the instanced towns. You cannot avoid it, when I played the game, it seemed as if there was no penalties.

Kuwait, like most Middle Eastern oil nations, imports hundreds of thousands of workers from Asia to handle the dirty work associated with life in modern societies. These workers have no rights since they are non-citizens, and are trapped in a country in which western ideas of civil liberties are not always accepted as the norm. Recently, due to rising inflation, many Bangladesh workers attempted to protest only to be met with the full force of the Kuwait government which does not enjoy anyone daring to oppose those in power. Nearly 170 Bangladesh workers who recently returned home complained they had been beaten and expelled after taking part in a labor protest in Kuwait. Over the past few days more than 1,000 Bangladeshis have been deported and most probably hundreds of others will meet that fate.
Problems arose when hundreds of Asian foreign workers in Kuwait staged demonstrations and went on strike to demand better pay and working conditions. Mohammad Ilyas, who was one of those deported, said: "The army beat us mercilessly while breaking up the protest and also in detention camps." A major complaint of Asian workers is their employees deduct housing, medical, and meal costs from their wages. The foreign worker must accept what the employer claims is the cost of their meals or housing or medical expenses. In a word, take it or leave it. And, when Kuwaitis say, "leave" they mean the country.

NISS Baseball Champs
- Details
- Published on Wednesday, 28 March 2012 01:00
- Written by Baseball New Zealand
The NISSBC is the new pinnacle event of the sport for secondary schools in the North Island, and as the sport grows will evolve into the national championship, set to take place every year across the country to decide New Zealand's top baseball school.
Auckland schools - Botany Downs Secondary College, Glendowie College, Glenfield College, One Tree Hill College, and St. Kentigern College - make up the bulk of the teams at the NISSBC, and are joined by Cambridge High School.
Tuesday saw the first pitch of the tournament thrown out as One Tree Hill College took on St Kentigern College, with SKC taking out a great opening game to the tournament 7-5.
Recent Baltimore Orioles signee Pita Rona featured in Game 2 which saw the battle of the Glen's, as Glendowie faced Glenfield, with Rona and the Glenfield team from the North Shore dominating the game 10-1.
Game 3 saw Botany Downs take out Cambridge High 9-3 despite Matt Van Sant going 2-4 at the plate.
St. Kentigern, Glenfield, and Botany Downs continued their winning ways in their second games, and remain unbeaten after day 1 of the championships.
Day 2 begins Wednesday when two of the undefeated teams go head to head as Botany Downs take on Glenfield College.
The semi finals are scheduled to take place on Thursday, with the NISSBC Finals on Friday.
A NISS All Tournament team and MVP will be named at the conclusion of the tournament.

Reports on racism in Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, France, "the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia" and Turkey
Strasbourg, 15.02.2005 – The Council of Europe's expert body on combating racism, the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI), today released five new reports examining racism, xenophobia, antisemitism and intolerance in Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, France, "the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia" and Turkey. ECRI recognises that positive developments have occurred in all five of these Council of Europe member countries. At the same time, however, the reports detail continuing grounds for concern for the Commission:
In Austria, the continuing marked differentiation in law and practice between, on the one hand, Austrian and other EU citizens and, on the other, non-EU citizens, negatively affects the social and political integration of all segments of Austrian society. Racism and racial discrimination still affect the daily lives of members of minority groups, and particularly of Black Africans, Muslims and Roma. Manifestations of antisemitism also still represent an issue of concern of ECRI in Austria.
In Bosnia and Herzegovina, severe problems of racism and racial (including ethnic and religious) discrimination persist, often as a result of nationalist policies pursued by ethnically based political parties. Such problems aggravate the situation of certain groups within a society which is globally affected by very difficult post-war socio-economic conditions. Problems of direct and indirect discrimination are pervasive in several areas of life and particularly in education, employment, housing and access to health services.
In France, law enforcement officials and members of the judicial service who receive complaints are not always sufficiently alert to the racist aspect of offences, and the victims are not always adequately informed or assisted when dealing with formalities. Muslims are up against an increase in racist acts and statements and access to education for children of immigrants and Travellers still needs to be improved. Antisemitism has increased alarmingly in France, notably in the school environment.
In "the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia", the Roma community continues to experience, on a wide scale, particularly poor living conditions and to suffer from an accumulation of economic and social disadvantage, aggravated by changing economic conditions, discrimination and insufficient attention from the authorities. ECRI also raises a number of issues relating to the situation of smaller minority groups, as well as of asylum seekers, and continuing problems in the area of citizenship.
In Turkey, despite the reforms, there are still some gaps in the constitution and in criminal, civil and administrative laws as regards action against racism and racial discrimination. There is still room for improvement in the matter of religious freedom, in particular as regards removing the reference to religion on identity cards and abolishing compulsory religious education in schools. No sanctions have been taken against intolerant expressions and acts directed at minority groups by sections of the media and members of the public and there is still no national specialised body to combat racism and intolerance.
These new reports form part of a third monitoring cycle of Council of Europe member states' laws, policies and practices aimed at combating racism. ECRI's country-specific reports are available in English, French and in the national language of the country concerned at www.coe.int/ecri. They cover all member states on an equal footing, from the perspective of protecting human rights. They examine whether ECRI's main recommendations from previous reports have been followed and, if so, to what degree of success and effectiveness.

I have an 8 hour layover in Amsterdam on Saturday. I'll be on foot/public transport from airport. Where do I go, what do I do?
Aaand.... Go.
I have an 8 hour layover in Amsterdam on Saturday. I'll be on foot/public transport from airport. Where do I go, what do I do?
Aaand.... Go.
space brownies.
that is all.
shut your mouth. sh sh shut your mouth.
The airport is a 15 minute train ride from the city center and the train is directly underneath the main terminal at Schiphol. There are baggage lockers at the airport so you don't have to hump your luggage around. Like any European city, beware of pickpockets at the central train station.
Here's a terminal map. You can locate the luggage lockers, where you buy train tickets, and the escalators down to the trains.
Most of the city is walkable from central station.
What to see & do in maybe 5 hours really depends on the person. A lot of people will want to hit a coffee shop, get stoned, go look in the windows in the red light district, and walk around that part of town having people try to sell you drugs, women, and whatever. Buy a tee shirt at the Hard Rock.
If you're a museum person, I highly recommend the van Gogh museum. It's a long enough walk from the central station that you can take in the sights on the way. You can always take a tram (electric streetcar) back.
Unlike here in the US where it always tastes skunked, Heineken is totally drinkable.
Thank you for the detailed info. I appreciate it.
I definitely want to see more sights. I'm taking my camera, so making the most of it would be great. Any big cathedrals or famous bridges? I'm guessing the channels will be easy to find. Van Gogh museum sounds interesting.
Point taken on the Heineken- I hate it the way it's sold here in the US so I'll have to try it locally there.
Screw the Heineken... Buy the non-light Amstel!
8 hours are not enough. Three days would be more like it. Take a walk on Damrak from the train station. Check out Kalverstraat. Get some bakery to snack on; something with almond is good. Try a herring sandwich too. Language is no problem. When we were there I estimated that at least 90% of the people we encountered spoke English. The red light district is not far but is more interesting at night. My wife didn't want to go there but when we got there, we encountered a bus tour group, most of which were elderly women. We liked Rijstaffel (rice table) at an Indonesian restaurant several times. They are all pretty much the same like Chinese buffet restaurants here but are a tasty alternative with the many dishes based on peanut. A ride on a tram is a cheap way to take a city tour but there is a bus guided tour. You can take a canal boat tour too. Have a beer at a brown bar.
We toured Heinken but once you have seen a brewery or two, you have seen it all.
Was just there. What time of day will you be there? All the illicit fun is at night. I really enjoyed the vangoh museum. The most fun we had was touring around the city on bikes. We rented from a place near dam square, but I believe there are companies near centrall station.
It is a very compact city and you can get a good feel for it within a few hours. If at all possible I recommend staying over and having at least 1 rough night.
We were there for a week and the highlight was definitely renting a unguided canal boat and drinking a few bottles of wine while cruising through.
ThAt is definitely better for summertime though as it will be quite cold there by now.
In for more answers...in amsterdam now
coffee shops. not what you are probably thinking. that is all.

I personally haven't been a huge MMORPG player since World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King. Occasionally I'll get an urge to participate in some current MMORPGs, but when it comes down to it, I finally end up deciding that I want to jump in on a new MMORPG. If you think about it, people tend to think that WoW was at its prime during the Vanilla and Burning Crusade days. There'd be no point in starting a new character on a game like Lineage 2 or LOTRO, their primes surely have long past. I'd personally like to say that I've been there since day 1 of the game (or earlier if there's some sort of open beta system implemented), and really do my best to develop a single character to get that name out there.
With that intro out of the way, what are some promising upcoming MMORPGs? I'll list some of the ones I'm aware of.
1) The Elder Scrolls Online - I personally played the open beta, not for very long as I actually have a social life and am involved in a University, but from what little I've played (The Tutorial and a few levels worth of questing), it seems interesting. I'm personally a big PvP guy, especially if there are hardcore elements involved (Darkfall / EVE), but unfortunately I wasn't able to experience the PvP in this game. I definitely enjoyed the First Person perspective, it really did feel like an Elder Scrolls game, that's for sure.
2) The Repopulation - Haven't tried any of the Alpha / Beta gameplay, but from what I've seen it looks really interesting. I love the fact there will be a Hardcore PvP server, and I like the idea of crafting, buildings, and sieges being implemented into the game. This is probably the main game I'll be looking towards in the mean time. The only issue I have with "Hardcore MMOs" like Darkfall, Mortal Online, etc. is that they tend to be very rough, they're not very polished and the actual act of playing in the game tends to feel very clunky. We'll see how it turns out, but I don't really expect this game to be nearly as fluid as a game like WoW. The fact it's Free To Play is enough for me to invest quite a few hours into it.
3) Blizzard's "Titan" - My personal perspective regarding this game is that I want to be a part of it as soon as it comes out. Blizzard is considered very famous and successful for World of Warcraft, so to hear that they're making a second MMO is exceptionally exciting, even if little information has been given and they keep on delaying it. I hope they keep the same Open World PvP system in place, and I hope that they maybe even add some more Hardcore elements.
Are there any games you guys consider "promising upcoming mmorpgs?"

Before you get on that plane that takes you to an exciting destination, you must first think about how you should pack your dive gear for the flight. Here are some suggestions to make sure your expensive equipment arrives safely to your paradise adventure.
Always pack your expensive dive equipment and accessories in your carry-on luggage.
Always pack any prescription masks with you in carry-on luggage. If you lose this item it could ruin your whole trip.
Always pack your dive computers and regulators in carry-on luggage because these items are sensitive and do not need to be tossed around under the plane by baggage handlers.
Carry any prescriptions with you in your carry-on bag so they will not be lost.
Now that you have your carry-on bag packed, you can pay attention to packing your dive equipment that goes into the baggage area of the plane.
Pack your dive jacket( B.C, Stab Jacket, Buoyancy Compensators) in your dive bag first and place them in the middle of the bag.
Surround the jacket with your fins to protect it during the flight.
If you choose not to carry your mask with you on the plane make sure it is in a protective mask box and it is wrapped with dive skins or your wetsuit to protect it from getting broken. Always carry a spare mask in your bag. Masks are very expensive if you have to replace one on your vacation. Make sure you place your dive knife in your checked baggage and not your carry-on. This item is prohibited on board an aircraft.
Be sure to pack extra fin straps and repair items you might need as well as motion sickness medicines just in case. It is not necessary to carry weights and tanks with you since all resorts provide tanks and weights with the dive packages.
If you do chose to carry you own personal small emergency air source make sure the valve is out of the cylinder and it can be inspected at your time of departure.
Do not forget the most important item! Make sure you lock your baggage with a TSA approved lock. This will prevent anyone from removing items out of your dive bags.

I phoned up my insurance company with regards to my landlords insurance with whom I have a few insurances for b2l properties.
To my surprise I was told that 1 of the properties had 2 insurances (one started in May and the other in August) and that another property was not insured.
I was quite worried about this as I had a property without insurance and one with 2 (which I presume would invalidate the insurance)
I was unsure why this was as I had specifically asked then to insure each property, anyways to cut this short they listened to our telephone conversation at the time I had setup the insurance and they agreed they had made a mistake and instead of insuring two separate properties they had infact insured one twice.
All has been rectified now but my question is can I ask for a refund on the extra insurance I paid?

Mikel Arteta admits the title might be beyond Arsenal this season but he will not give up hope of catching Manchester City.
The Premier League leaders extended their advantage over Arsène Wenger's side to 12 points with a 1-0 win at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday - and they have dropped just seven points all season.
Arteta knows the odds are stacked against Arsenal but for now he is focused on picking up maximum points from a run of four games in 12 days, starting at Aston Villa.
"I think we need to be realistic," he told Arsenal Player.
"It will be really tough to [make up] 12 points on Man City from here until the end of the season because they haven't dropped many points until now. But you never know in football. We can only go game by game and try to put pressure on them.
"The main thing is to focus on the football. We know that if we get through this period and get all the points then we will have a really good chance to be fighting for something at the end of the season. We know how important that is for the Club."

Foam quality... what the numbers mean?
I am in the process of putting the interior back together on my 49 Ford coupe and need some seat advise. I started taking the covers off what I thought were decent original seats and found some problems. Apparently the seats have been out in the weather at some point in their long life, or at least the front seat backs have been. the rear seat and the front seat bottom seem to be fine, but the front seat backs are trashed. The springs are rusted to the point that they are not repairable. I'm thinking of junking everythig except the main outer frames and rebuilding seat backs using a solid foam cushion instead of the original spring setup. I'm thinking if I mount a plywood panel to the seat frame flush with the back I can build off of that with foam to create the seat backs. This will also let me put some more shape to the seat than it originally had. Maybe this plan is complete crap? I'm hoping someone will tell me if it is. But if it's not, my bigest question is what quality of foam do I need for something like this? I don't want my seat backs to go "flat" 6 months after i get my car on the road. The places i've been looking at foam (online) have a numbering system that sell foam by. Living far away from any foam supply stores how do I know what number of foam to buy without being to see/feel some samples?????
The numbering system for polyurethane foam is very simple. The first two numbers describe the quality of the foam, and the second two numbers describe the density (ILD or indent load deflection) or firmness of the foam. The higher the first two numbers are, the better the foam quality is. The higher the second two numbers are, the greater the density of the foam, and the firmer the foam is. The first two numbers should be at least 22, with really high quality foam being 30 to 35. The second two numbers are as follows. 30 to 35 is medium, 40 to 55 is firm, 65 is extra firm, and 80 is hard. Back foam doesn't need to be really firm, or of very high quality because it gets very little wear. Seat foam, on the other hand should be higher quality and the density is a personal preference. 2235 would be good for back foam, and 3045 would be fine for seat foam. You can substitute a lower ILD foam for a higher one by making it thicker and wider and pulling it tighter. (BTW, the color of the foam does not mean anything, the only thing that matters is the numbering system).
There is a reason that seat foam is not 6" thick. The thicker it is, the more expensive it is. That's why they put the springs on the frame in the first place. The more open space and the less foam there is, the cheaper it is to make the seat. If the reat of the seat is O.K., why not just replace the back springs, which are the cheapest things in the entire seat system to replace? Back springs are usually 10 to 12 gauge (the higher the number, the weaker the spring is). Seat springs are 8 or 9 gauge.
You can put a piece of plywood on the seat back and build out with foam if you want to, but to reduce the weight you would add with a solid piece of plywood, and to make the seat back more comfortable , cut out the center of the plywood (leave a 3" border all the way around) and staple 2" wide elastic webbing criss-crossed onto the plywood which will replace the original springs, and still not be too stiff. Leaning up against a solid piece of plywood with foam over it would have no give and be uncomfortable after a while.
Thanks for the info. The elastic webbing sounds like a good idea. that would definately save some weight. I would just rebuild the springs on the current seat tracks, but it's more than just the zig zag springs that are bad, there are also large round springs that are all different sizes and the small springs that cross over between the larger ones tho tie them togehter. I will try and get a picture for you to look at tonight. I have found some foam in the number range that you recomended for about $60~70 for enough to do my seat backs. I'll get you a picture and hopefully you will advise me further from the pic.
1 Attachment(s)
here is a picture of the seat back in question....... The picture didn't turn out the greatest. but the springs are pretty much all junk in my opinion. If I do use the plywood/elastic webing method you talked about as a base for my foam, should I put some thin panel board or something on the back of that so that the foam and bands don't show through the back of seat?
You're right, those springs are pretty well worthless. Screw or bolt ( bolts would be best, and be sure to countersink the bolt heads) the plywood frame on the back of the old seat frame towards the rear of the car. This has the added benefit of making the seat frame stronger. Staple the elastic webbing on the front side of the plywood towards the front of the car. Then you need to pad the back of the plywood frame before you pull the cover over the new foam. Be sure you sand down the outside edges of the plywood frame just enough so the edges are not sharp. If you want, you can staple the fabric onto the plywood frame instead of sewing the seat back all together and pulling it over the frame. Then cover the seat back with an upholstered panel, just like a door panel. The early 60's Mustang seat backs were done like this with a panel to finish them off. If this doesn't make sense to you, just ask more questions.
That all makes pretty good sense. Once I strip off all the springs I will be left with a round tubing "hoop" frame. I think I will inset the plywood flush with the back of the frame. that way the material will not have to go over the edges of the wood, it will just go over the steel tubing frame just as it used to. The panel insert on the seat back is a great suggestion. I would think that would make the covers easier to get on for sure. Have you ever had any experience with "whisper" vinyl material. I found a local source for that brand and it would sure be easier to buy it local than mail order material. Espescially if I need to go back and get a bit more if I run short. It feels real nice and is somewhat economical. But this is my first experience with interior work. I'll try to post some more pics of the process as I go just in case anyone cares. Thanks again!
Yes, Whisper would work fine for you. I have never used it for a car seat, but it's one of the many vinyls I have access to through my local suppliers and I have samples of it. It seems to be a nice fabric.

Dear all,
How to improve English speaking for 7-10 year olds
Any English speaking games that don't involve reading?
I teach in Hong Kong and I have to play my speaking/oral lessons for students.
2-5 year olds - I have no problems. I sing, I dance, I describe things for them to draw, they play in English, it's fun. I even do arts and craft (although I can't draw to save my life, the kids love it!)
Problem - I have classes for older students (7-10 years old). The girls have very good reading skills and so do 1 or 2 of the boys.
But amongst the class, I have some boys who can't read (or can phonetically sound out words, but don't understand the meaning).
I'm not able to separate the students because their schedules clash with other extracurriculum activities.
I can physically see some of my boy students cower when there is a small amount of text to read (for example, a sentence said "A cat in a hat" and I tried to concept check the meaning of the sentence. Some of my students didn't understand or couldn't read this sentence).
The parents refuse to take up reading classes, so I'm stuck with continuing the speaking lessons for them. I've tried games such as noughts and crosses (although one of my students struggled to understand the concept, even when another student explained the rules to him in their native language), matching pairs, spot the difference, pointing and naming things, simon says (although, they groaned and said it was immature in their native language), I spy...
I've even had one of the boys, week in and week out, not being able to say "Candy". For the past few months, I've always told him before and after class that it's "Candy" before giving it to him. He still always says "Kinder", even now.
I've been reading very short and simple stories to the children (some of which are from their native Hong Kong tales), and asking them simple questions about it "who was the animal?" "What did the animal eat?" etc, etc.
They even get a copy of the short story/poem to take home to read. (it's about 16 sentences long, 20-30 words, using simple words like cat/hat/mat/am/jam/ram etc,etc) ... but whether their parents read it to them is another story...
Does anyone else have any game ideas, where there is lots of speaking? and it requires no reading whatsoever?
OR ... should I just keep plugging away and hope that the children start to pick up the English language.
Sorry for the long rant, I've had mixed success with my lessons and just feel that I need some extra ideas to help my weaker students.

I am looking at this to be only a deer gun and possibly for smaller game. What have your experience been with this calibler?? What do you like/hate about it?
Just curious what ya'll think.

text: (sorry if there's another thread, but I looked 10 pages in and didn't see one so here goes) I just inhaled the first book in this 3-book series and I am hooked. Un-put-downable. Author Suzanne Collins has the ability to make this reader, at least, care desperately about the sympathetic characters in the book - especially the heroine. I looked at the trailer for the movie and it doesn't look bad. The author had a hand in adopting it. I also love that Scholastic published this book. I'll bet other publishers are banging their collective heads and saying 'gees, Harry Potter and now this.' Any other Hunger Games fans out there?

Robin van Persie believes Gervinho will be an excellent addition to the Arsenal squad.
The Ivory Coast star has agreed a move to Emirates Stadium and will join the Club soon, subject to a regulatory process. Gervinho inspired Lille to the Ligue 1 title in France last season and will give Arsène Wenger another attacking option when the Premier League campaign gets underway next month.
Van Persie has already seen Gervinho in action and welcomes the competition that his potential new team-mate will bring.
"I know him from the highlights of the French league," said the Dutchman. "I've seen him play a couple of times for the Ivory Coast and I've been speaking to [Emmanuel] Eboue and he was very positive about him.
"The things I've seen look great but we will have to wait and see how he adapts. Every new player that comes in needs time so he will need a couple of months to feel at home and hopefully he can play his best football.
"I think it is a good thing that you have competition. Everyone needs competition because no one really wants to go to sleep. I think in the ideal world, no one is really sure of his place. Maybe the captain and the goalkeeper but all the others shouldn't be known before that they will play. It's good to have competition and be on your toes.
"The way I feel now is that new signings are more than welcome, why not? Every other team is buying quality players so hopefully we will do the same. I think so [you need to invest to keep up]. If you look at Manchester City buying loads of good players and Liverpool is doing it now and Manchester United has been doing it for years. If everyone is doing something you need to do it as well."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

well the last one i did was a pps 43 carbine in semi auto. so this one, that i got in a trade will become a pistol build. i thought that because i got a receiver repair piece, trunnion and bracket, that this build would go much easier than the last. this one is saw cut also, where the last one was torch cut through many of the parts that weren't covered by the repair section.
well i should have known better...lol. when i set up the pieces to figure out where to cut and weld, i found this.
there is a 1/2" gap between the rear of receiver and end of repair section. there is a drill bit in the hole for the pivot point in front of receiver repair section. after pondering what to do, add piece in rear or, move whole repair section to rear and modify front to work w/ existing shroud. the second option is the one i chose.
#3 (yellow line) is typically where shroud is cut to join to receiver section.
#s2 are the front trunnion bracket holes. typ. the ones on the shroud are discarded.
#1 is the line i cut on repair section to match up w/ front shroud. i will have to move the bracket holes in repair section and do some other slight mods, but it is easier than adding such a small piece in rear area....i think.
i had to remove partial trunnion bracket that was left by demill on front shroud. it was riveted and spot welded. here it is cleaned up.
then i pieced it together to see where everything had to layout.
i made my cuts on repair section, then used trunnion, bracket and barrel to line it all up before clamping and welding. below is front shroud and repair section welded together, waiting to be cleaned up.

|A while back, I talked about the new multi-image pattern capability introduced in WebSphere CloudBurst 2.0. This capability allows you to build patterns that include more than one product, or more than one version of the same product.
|The kind of pattern that is top of mind for me here, and the one I referenced in the previous post, is one that includes both WebSphere Application Server and DB2 components. In this regard, you can deploy the configured application and data containers as a single pattern deployment.
|In the pattern above, I include the WebSphere Application Server and DB2 components, along with configuration to create a data source and database. This makes setting all of this up completely automated and much simpler than traditional means. However, if you know something about configuring data sources in WebSphere Application Server, and you know a little bit about the deployment process for WebSphere CloudBurst, this may leave you scratching your head a bit!
|What do I mean? Well, when you configure a data source in WebSphere Application Server, you need to know the hostname for your backend database. That shouldn't be an issue, right? After all, I can simply declare parameters for my Create DB2 Data Source script package (which I have), one of them being the hostname, and pass those in during the deployment of the pattern. The catch is, since I'm deploying DB2 as part of this pattern, I will not know the hostname to pass in when configuring the parts for deployment. This is because WebSphere CloudBurst automatically assigns a unique hostname to each part during the deployment process. So, how do you deal with these kinds of issues?
|The answer is simple. You use the deploy-time variable substitution capabilities present in WebSphere CloudBurst 2.0. Specifically, when I'm deploying the pattern, I can pass a special variable to the hostname parameter defined by the Create DB2 Data Source. Before invoking the script package to create the DB2 data source, WebSphere CloudBurst automatically resolves the variable to the actual value, thus passing the correct hostname to my script.
|As you can partially see above, I passed in the value ${DB2DatabaseServer.hostname}.${DB2DatabaseServer.domain} as the hostname to my script to create the data source. As a result, during deployment WebSphere CloudBurst determines the hostname and domain name assigned to the DB2 part. The appliance passes this value into my script, and thus the script can correctly create the data source in the WebSphere Application Server instance as shown below.
|For more information on this variable substitution mechansim, check out the Information Center.

The gray/roan gelding won the Morvich Handicap and three of his last four starts preceding the Breeders' Cup for Hi Card Ranch and trainer Brian Koriner. He will break from the outside post in a ten-horse field for the Turf Express, which will be run at six furlongs on the Lakeside Turf Course. The field for the 23rd running of the Grade III event lines up as follows from the rail out:
Delta Storm, claimed on behalf of owner Michael House by trainer Mike Mitchell for $40,000 in May at Churchill Downs, won the Pirate's Bounty in his third start for his new connections before finishing fourth in the Grade I Ancient Title on the main track at Santa Anita. Most recently, he finished second to Hurry Up Austin in the Kangaroo Court at 6 ½ furlongs on turf.
New Zealand-bred Majestic Diamond and Brazilian-bred Joe Bravo finished one-two here in an allowance race at the Turf Express distance on Nov. 6. The former, making his North American debut for trainer Leonard Powell, was overlooked, clicking at odds of better than 32-1 for his sixth win at six furlongs on turf.
Herman Sarkowsky's One Union, third behind California Flag in the Morvich Handicap, finished eighth in the Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint. In his last appearance at Hollywood Park, he was beaten a nose by Canteen in the El Segundo in mid-May.
Unusual Suspect, the defending race champion, and Racketeer will both be saddled by Barry Abrams. The former has failed to win in 11 starts since connecting by a nose at odds of 16-1 in 2007. Racketeer will be making his first start on turf since being purchased privately by Abrams prior to a seventh-place finish in the Hollywood Gold Cup in June.
Towzee, also a New Zealand-bred, has been off since finishing seventh in the Robert K. Kerlan Memorial here in July, while Argentine-bred Carrilero enters fresh from a victory in an allowance race down-the-hill at Santa Anita.
In the $100,000 Generous Stakes for 2-year-olds, Todd Pletcher-trained Bittel Road will aim for his fourth victory in five starts. The son of Stormy Atlantic won his first three races, including the Grade III Bourbon at Keeneland, before finishing eighth in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf.
The 26th running of the Generous Stakes, at one mile on turf, lines up as follows:
Bittel Road, Smith, 122; Mr. Rod, Chantal Sutherland, 117; Hype, Michael Baze, 117; Battle of Hastings, Tyler Baze, 117; Mensa Heat, Clinton Potts, 115; Insurgence, Joel Rosario, 117; Bourbon Bay, Bejarano, 117, and Liturgical, Brice Blanc, 117.
The Generous will run as the fifth race and the Turf Express as the ninth on Saturday's ten-race program at Hollywood Park. First post time is 12:30 p.m.

It was hard to make that first cut! :lol So far I have trimmed some of the back off of the helmet to give it a more accurate Boba angle. I have drilled out the hole for the Borden Connector(thanks MaxPlague) as well as cut out the little rectangle on the opposing side. Oh, yeah, and I finally got up the nerve to make the dent. Yeah, I'm going for RotJ with the paint scheme(thanks Shortimer52), so I figured I ought to make the dent RotJ. Anyway enjoy the pics.

Francis Coquelin believes fellow midfielder Emmanuel Frimpong has paved the way for his breakthrough into the first team.
The pair were team-mates at youth level for a number of years as they rose through the Gunners ranks and were both part of the 2009 FA Youth Cup-winning side.
Frimpong has gone on to feature regularly in Arsène Wenger's first team this season and Coquelin says his fellow midfielder has encouraged him to push on and work hard for his place in the squad.
"I am really pleased for him," Coquelin told Arsenal.com. "He had a big injury last season, and now he's back in the first team.
"It shows me that I can do it because the manager has confidence in younger players. I will just keep working hard in training and show the manager I can play in this team."
Coquelin has featured in Arsenal's last two first-team outings, starting against Manchester United before coming on as a substitute in the weekend victory over Swansea.
The young Frenchman is determined to remain in Wenger's line of sight following his loan spell at Lorient last season and wants to let his time on the pitch do the talking.
"If he uses me that means he has got confidence in me," said Coquelin. "I have to keep showing I have the quality to play in the first team, and I can show that in training and in the games.
"Obviously I played a lot [at Lorient] so it gave me a lot of experience. I will try and bring that to Arsenal and keep improving."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Lara and Jeff Sanderson did not want to hire a decorator. Yes, the 11,000-square-foot house they'd recently bought on Mercer Island, Washington, was in dire need of total revamping. But their meetings with interior designers left the couple feeling underwhelmed. What they wanted was an artist. So they turned to Kelly Wearstler.
To the casual observer, Wearstler might appear to inhabit the white-hot center of the decorating universe — she has been hailed as the heiress apparent to Hollywood's grand Regency style, and is a virtuoso of its glitz and glamour. In reality, she's a free spirit who didn't get where she is in her career by playing it safe. She is possessed of a creative confidence that allows her to take chances based on eye and instinct alone. "I'm not an intellectual designer," says Wearstler. "I'm a very emotional designer. I listen to what my client says and then I take it to heart."
Eleven hundred miles north of Wearstler's Los Angeles studio — and just a stone's throw from earnest, rainy Seattle — the Sandersons' new abode was classic Pacific Northwest on the outside: a rambling 1946 cottage-style house clad in split-cedar siding and clinker brick. Yet the Sandersons longed to pass through its front door into a different world, equal parts Parisian jewel box, scholar's retreat, and natural wonder.
Jeff and Lara, who married four years ago, bring a broad diversity of interests to their union. Princeton- and Harvard-educated Jeff arrived at Microsoft in 1984, and stayed for 17 years; he left to become a middle-school math teacher for several years. A collector of music manuscripts, he often plays piano in his downtime. Lara, a professionally trained dancer who grew up among artists, shifted careers to politics. Two summers ago, the couple started a venture-capital fund, Sanderson Ventures, aimed at supporting small local businesses that will contribute to their communities.
The Sandersons' house is a manifestation of their combined passions — with an art-filled salon, a music room lined with pages scribbled by the likes of Beethoven and Mahler, and a warm, sprawling kitchen. The master bath is clad in onyx fantastico stone, which Jeff calls "the most astonishing creation of nature you could imagine. It makes it very clear that there are forces larger than oneself giving beauty in this world." The one room that, above all, seems simply to have been dreamed into existence is the double-height library. To create it, the ceiling was punched through to a small upstairs bedroom. Wearstler designed its massive partners desk and the brass-railed spiral staircase. "That staircase got so much love," says Wearstler, who worked first with a metalworker and then with "the guy who gave it that perfect patina. It was like adding a piece of jewelry to the room."
Indeed, as much as the Sandersons wanted their house to reflect themselves, they also wanted it to bear witness to the work and passion of the people who collaborated on it, from the artists who hand-painted the wallpapers to the stonemasons who set the marble floors in the entry hall. Says Jeff, "If the people building your house are of a wonderful spirit, that spirit will continue to inhabit the house through their craftsmanship."
One person whose passion is evident at every turn is Wearstler. "Kelly has infinite creativity," says Lara, who describes the entry hall as "the Kelly special." "That's where she was in her power alley, doing what she does best." Asked about the first impression it makes on visitors, Jeff replies, "Shazam."
Elsewhere, Lara's earthier sensibility plays off Wearstler's exuberance. A guest bedroom is done in a neutral palette, for example, but a giant pattern of concentric rings is splashed across the walls and ceiling, inspired, says the designer, by the cross section of tree trunks. The dining room, too, represents a unique alchemy between client and decorator. "I'd never done a purple dining room," says Wearstler, who created the palette at Lara's request, and found the pair of Venetian-glass chandeliers through a dealer in New York. "I love to be challenged by my clients," she adds. "There are a million combinations that get you to the perfect design solution. It's that exploration that's so nice."
For the Sandersons, the sense of discovery didn't stop once the house was complete. "Jeff and I walk around and say, 'I can't believe it's so beautiful,'" says Lara. "When something is well designed, there's harmony in it, but also something that throws you off-kilter. It stimulates your intellect."

Arsène Wenger says the atmosphere at Emirates Stadium is dependent on his team's displays - and is urging his team to generate exciting performances on their own turf.
Arsenal have already been beaten twice at home this season, though they have won four of the other fixtures at the Emirates.
Wenger wants a good atmosphere for Saturday's London derby with Fulham - and says his team must put on a show that ignites the fans.
"The atmosphere comes from the team, not the fans and we have to think like that," he said.
"We had one or two flat game at home, I agree, especially the game against Schalke [and] even the game against QPR. I believe that it's down to the quality of our game - that's our responsibility."
- Wenger was speaking at Great Ormond Street Hospital, where the Club opened a Lung Function Unit - a legacy from the Club's partnership with GOSH during the 2009/10 season

Chicago Comb, Triton Metal Finishing Strike Gold
Chicago-based grooming accessory company began selling last October its first product, Model No. 1, a $40 luxury men's comb crafted from high performance stainless steel.
Chicago Combs and Triton Industries manufacture this $40 comb.
One of the hottest items to hit the consumer market when it comes to men's grooming is centered around a metal finishing shop in Chicago, where Brent Wortell, owner of Triton Industries at 1020 N. Kolmar, is part of a boom manufacturing high-end men's combs.
Chicago Comb Co., a Chicago-based grooming accessory company, began selling last October its first product, Model No. 1, a $40 luxury men's comb crafted from high performance stainless steel. The product was the culmination of years of thinking about art, manufacturing, and sustainable production by its co-founders, John Litwinski and Tedd Strom, who met at O'Neill Junior High School in Downer's Grove many years ago.
Since that launch last year, the comb has garnered world-wode attention. Among its many attributes:
ABC News featured them in an article on Made in America Gift Ideas!
Neil Steinberg of the Chicago Sun-Times wrote a full-length story about Chicago Comb
Details men's magazine gave it the 2013 DETAILS Grooming Awards
It was nominated to receive the 2013 Chicago Innovation Award.
The City of Chicago produced a video showing the making of a Chicago Comb, part of the City's series on "Made in Chicago" products.
The Fifty for including Chicago Comb in their list of the top American-made hair products.
Sweden's Cafe Magazine, the leading men's magazine in Sweden, similar to Esquire or GQ had an article about Chicago Comb
The Sun-Times articles relates the story of how Triton became involved. Litwinski and Strom were promoting the combs at the 2011 Great Shave Event held by Merz Apothecary when one of the barbers at that event, Joe Wortell, began admiring the comb and heard the two owners say they were looking for a place to manufacture it in Chicago.
Joe told them that his parents own a metal finishing plant in Chicago, Triton Industries.
The rest -- someone, somewhere said -- is history, as Chicago Comb sold 200 in 2011 and plan to sell over 5,000 in 2013.
Here's the video from the City of Chicago:

WATCH: Beyonce performs The National Anthem at Obama's second Inauguration
LISTEN to Beyonce on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - President Barack Obama was treated to a triumphant assortment of musical entertainment from Beyoncé, Kelly Clarkson, James Taylor, the Marine Band and the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir during his Inauguration ceremony on Monday.
Grammy winner Beyoncé, who sang "The Star-Spangled Banner," offered the most theatrical performance. The "Single Ladies" singer dressed in a sheer black gown appeared more serious than normal as she approached the podium.
Like a scene from movie Evita, the singer who performed Etta James' "At Last" at Obama's first Inauguration in 2009 took a moment to pan the crowd with an emotionless expression before belting the song's opening lyric, "Oh, say can you see..."
Accompanied by the Marine Band, Beyoncé opted to stick with a more traditional arrangement of the National Anthem. She kept her vocal runs to a minimum and, as the song progressed, Beyoncé relaxed and smiled. By song's end, she nodded her head as if to note victory before turning to greet the President.

Do you want to cross check whether you are getting the download and upload speed that your Internet Service Provider (ISP) promises?
Browsing the web, checking emails, or using Facebook does not consume a large amount of bandwidth. However downloading movies, large files or watching YouTube videos one after another, can consume a very large amount of bandwidth. If you aren't on an optimized and fast connection, file downloads and video streaming may take ages.
So if you're a heavyweight internet user, and find that your connection speed has been reduced considerably, it would be advisable to run an internet speed check on your side. If you see that the upload or download speed is lower than promised, you can switch to a different Internet service provider who provide more speed and bandwidth than your current provider.
Checking The Speed Of Your Internet Connection
Go to Speedtest.net [1] and click the large Begin Test button. The tool requires Adobe Flash player to be preinstalled on your browser. If you don't have the Flash player, you can download it here [2].
Once you click on Begin Test, the site will start "pinging" your ISP and try to guess the approximate download and upload speed of your internet connection.
When the tests are running, you will see the meter going up or down frequently. Do not close the browser window yet, it should take around 20 seconds to complete.
When the speed test is complete, you will be shown the results of the test, as shown below:
To arrive at a conclusion, it would be wise to perform the same checks multiple times and note the upload and download speeds on paper after each test. After 5-6 iterations, compute the average and determine the approximate speed that your Internet service provider is providing.
The speeds will vary for the same ISP if you are using a Wi-Fi connection, a router dongle or a broadband ADSL modem on LAN. It's advised to stick to a wired connection (e.g Broadband ADSL) for best results.
If your download speed is lower than 0.2 MBPS, your connection can be termed as "Slow". With this speed, watching YouTube videos or downloading large files (e.g torrents, movies) will take days to complete.
The connection speeds will vary during different times of the day. For example: running the tests during "peak hours" will show less speed when compared to running the same tests during night or "low traffic" hours. You should perform the tests multiple times a day and note down the results.

I recently bought a kel tec pf9 for $275 out the door. Super slim, single stack 7+1 polymer 9mm. I have put close to 300 rounds through it and it did not hiccup once. Fmjs hps it didn't care. Low profile sights are easy on the eyes. But the long trigger pull does take some getting used to. It breaks well though. No safety with an internal hammer (you could carry in your pocket, though the p3at or the lcp would be a better pocket gun) It has moderate recoil, more so than a glock or 1911 but comfortable still to target shoot with. And it disappears in a iwb holster. Super easy to field strip and clean as well.
I know there are many reliable ccws to choose from. i spent hours researching weapons and decided on this one. I hope this quick review could help someone out in the future. Small, light, and reliable. And made in the USA. A good choice if your looking for a ccw.
Pros- light, small, cost, slim, cheap ammo, accurate
Cons- low capacity, recoil

Turns out they were paintballs which I had shot a few months earlier. The green ones are the ones I was shooting that day and the orange and purple are diablo inferno i think.
250 cal
SO THAT VIDEO WAS TRUE! You CAN grow 250 cal paintballs! *grabs pod and runs out the door*
You're not the only one. Shells, screws, lids. Heck, I bet some internals are still in working order. SOMEONE LOOK THROUGH THAT DUMPSTER!
wow, how did they amass so many loaders?
This is the dumpster at the end of the year where my field Pevs just put all the really broken hoppers we went thru the year. aha
Am I the only one who sees a lot of spare parts/money being tossed into that dumpster? Just think of all the screws, and lids, and springs, and other stuff that's still good on those broken loaders.
