She stylizes tribal dynastic and Mughal coins on brass which she expertly sets on sterling silver. Lee's original design features pearls and the burning hues of amber carnelian garnet and glass. .925 Sterling silver. When used in jewelry amber beads can include a stunning arrangement of tones and hues. Natural amber ranges from yellow to deep orange. It may sometimes even have a green cast to it as well as opaque swirls within. Because amber is the preserved resin of prehistoric trees that grew millions of years ago it sometimes has tiny inclusions of plants and insects -- making it highly prized.

Welcome your guests to your "ranch" with this cool sign. It's handmade from iron and is certainly unique. Perfect for a Texas home!

So I figured I'd post up some progress pics of the Rav Bralor I'm building for my girlfriend. These are some of the first pictures, and admittedly I'm horrible about taking any amount of progress pics. I'm attempting to get this done for WizardWorld Philly in a little over a month. I'm going for my own artistic interpretation of the sum of the reference available. Before you get worried, I'm going to do it justice. I like Mandos, and strive to always do them right. You could say that I'm going for an idealized version of the Action figure the most (shape of some of the armor and cape and other little details)
So enough words from me, on to the giant pics!
First the armor- I racked my brain to figure out how to do it, decided it wasn't worth sculpting and casting my own, wasn't completely thrilled with what I saw out there and then had a flash of genius. Bought a plastic mannequin half torso of ebay that wasn't too "realistically sexy" in its sculpt and that would accommodate my girl's form. Drew the armor on the torso, sat down with an xacto and there you have it. Best part: $30 bucks shipped and just a little time with a marker, ruler, and xacto.
Cod is one of those cheapo sintra ones I mistakenly got off ebay awhile ago, but its the right size proportionately for her, so a little TLC to sculpt up so it looked more like a fett cod and it was good to go. The Knee and foot armor is .25" sintra cut out and heat bent into a curve. Some PVC tube pieces were blended onto the outside of the knees and will have fett style darts put inside them.
Flightsuit was a generic flight suit/ coverall she found for cheap at some point. Removed all the pockets and took it in since it was a little baggy. Pocket material will be used to make the arm pouch. Armor vest is made from fabric we found at Wally world for cheap. We decided we wanted to have a Fett style armor vest, since it would look best and fit with the typical mando armor set up. We looked for a fabric that was a similar grey but possibly a little different in material and shade (just like fett in ROTJ). This stuff works great. There is no existing ref for the pattern, but I decided to throw in the fett style shoulder stitch lines, just to add more detail.
Here's the armor as it stands taped up to a another mannequin she had. The girth belt is hand made, used cotton clothesline from walmart dyed brownish grey, I dyed some leather and made some ends to it that have buckles with leather straps. The Ammo belt is entirely hand made by me. I made patterns and dyed the leather and hand stitched the pouches together. They're all functional as well. The little back cylinders are just pvc pipe filled with resin, and capped with a snap dome and a resistor sticking out the other end. The large cylinders are R2 ankle cylinders with one tab cut off. I did this for to reasons- 1. I had a Ankle cylinder I had made from PVC pipe so why not mold it and cast a few and 2. It fits in the star wars universe design style. Detail pieces were used in multiple places all the time. So they look like they belong, and there's extra detail with the scribed lines and tabs on the end that isn't in the artwork.
And here's most of the parts laid out on the cape rectangle. It's a wool outside (just an interesting weave that was on the cheap remnants table at Joann's) with a wrinkly cotton lining (same source). You can also see I added some tabs on the cod piece- probably won't be seen but it just brings it more into the reality that Fett's armor existed in, right? Its all about adding in the layers of detail.
And this is a blank cylinder of polyurethane foam. I shaped two of them into a tapered cylinder and will be sculpting up the gauntlet details on top of them. I'm going to go for an overall Fett style gauntlet like the figure, but with some of the little details worked in from the comic reference images. Plan is to make a mold of the sculpts and cast them in resin (so who know's there may be some for sale in the future)
That's it for now, hope you enjoyed. I'll try to update this thread as I go along. Later

You old schoolers might remember Art's website that had the tutorials for the cape, and Sonic Beam Weapon, etc.
The site is no longer active , but I still need the information found within.
Does anyone still have it saved on their computer?
Specifically, I would need the dimensions and location for cutting the ROTJ cape from the Army Shelter Half.
Here is an old pic of the cape
But it doesn't show what I need.
Can you guys help?

Today saw the release of Leap Motion, the 3D gestural navigation controller for PCs and Macs. Like its cousin the Xbox Kinect, Leap Motion uses sensors to track physical gestures. Where Kinect tracks your entire body, Leap Motion tracks fine movements of the arms, hands, and fingers. In turn, this allows users to input information, enabling touch-free 3D gestural navigation control.
Leap Motion can be used to navigate operating systems (Windows, Mac), to cruise through Google Earth, to draw a digital picture, to generate experimental music, or to dissect a virtual frog, as seen in the AirSpace Leap Motion app store. In the future, surgeons could perform surgeries and airline pilots could control their plans with this solution, according to the vendor.
The success or failure of Leap Motion will derive from the strength of the app ecosystem that grows up around it:

These friendly looking aliens, with three arms, five green eyes, orange fur, and a small propeller on their head which allows them to fly are about to leave when Kermit realizes their act can be to fly, and they are coaxed into going on stage, much to the audience's delight. Kermit invites them to stay, but they tell him they must return to their home planet with their very important discovery, "jukes".

Hearing the birds plight, a pine tree called Benny over, telling him that his branches would keep him warm through the winter, and he was more then welcome to stay in there until spring. A nearby spruce tree promised to protect the pine from the northern winds, and a little juniper tree volunteered its berries for Benny to eat over the winter.
When Jack Frost heard about the selfishness of some of the trees, he decreed that all trees, except the pine, spruce, and juniper, will lose their leaves in the winter as punishment, leaving the trees cold and bare for their selfishness. And Benny stayed warm all winter long.

Gobo tried to teach his new friend words besides "tick-tick-tick," but it was to no avail. He sang it songs, and told it stories, and even took it on adventures to far away caves, but it never learned any new words. Frustrated, Gobo decided to see if his friend liked to swim, so he released it in the middle of the great pool, where it promptly sank.
Leaving it there to swim, Gobo later returned with the Fraggles for a picnic when they heard the round number ticker make a new noise, "ring." Looking down in the pool, the Fraggles saw a giant boulder in the reflection of the water, scattering out of the way just as the rock landed with a splash. Thanking their friend, the Fraggles made a special seat for the round number ticker next to the great pool, where despite its limited vocabulary, they would say hello and give it a pat whenever passing by.

Deciding to ask them to sing quietly the next night, and vowing to fix the sink and shutters after he writes his song, Rowlf tries again to go to sleep. This time he's rousted out of bed by Gonzo's All-Mouse Choir practicing. Going back to his room, he thinks to himself about giving Gonzo a key to his music room tomorrow, after he fixes the faucet, ties down the shutters, and reminds his cousins to not sing so loudly.
As he lay away in bed, Rowlf begins to run through his to do list again, to the corresponding sounds they make, and he decides to set all the noises to music as their melody lulls him to sleep.

Feeling left out that his friends haven't invited him, Fozzie heads into the drugstore where he sees Piggy, Animal and Janice buying more picnic supplies, but making no mention of inviting him. Dejected, Fozzie begins walking towards the edge of town, where he sees the gang waiting for the bus.
Asking where he's been, Kermit tells Fozzie that they group was afraid of missing the bus while they were waiting for Fozzie, but the bear tells the frog he never got an invite. Turning to Piggy, who was supposed to invite the bear, Piggy says she though Kermit was asking him. Rowlf thought Janice was, and the whole group felt embarassed. Asking why he didn't say anything, Fozzie says he was too hurt to mention it to his friends, but he knows next time to speak up if his feelings are hurt again.

Ok, now I understood your post about the gravestones... You could always put here a link to your t-shirt Late Halloween Night, since it seems you´re posting because you feel that this design is somehow a "copy" of your design. For the record, here's the link to a previous design I submited to Woot that was the starting point for this: Lost My Nuts Within the Jungle.
Re: Cardinal
This is amazing! Such an awesome concept, as always. Where do you get your ideas? GMV.
ApeLad wrote:He's an admirable ack-bo.
People might be right, the theme connection is a slight stretch... but who cares, the design is cool and quite original (well as original as you can be with SW).
Frankly people need to lighten up on the color, yes AA is a burnt orange with a bit of brown, but in a cartoon style give him slack, it is a one tone world.
I would buy in a second. If it doesn't get through put it up on Cafe and I will still buy.
GMV. Good save from a rookie mistake. This is a great, evocative design. The ancient/modern fusion is really wonderful; Good on ya!

Re: the destruction of version 1
Still not gonna happen. Understand the rejection - Woot could get sued for the Ack-ack - it's copyrighted. Find an original idea. Obviously, you can draw. Do it.

Re: Red Riding Hood
I like! Your lines are a bit messy (like mine!). Hang in here and learn, like me (only better). The overall comp is nice, and I like the colors.
I love this shirt! Great job! GMV
Re: planet fusion
Love your thought process. It's a shame that you get so few votes. I understand it, but I wish Woot was a little less parochial.
Much like from me.
Soooo epic. Mayan art is so complex, it must have taken awhile to mimic that style. Reminds me of Palenque, my favorite place in Mexico. I'd buy it...not Palenque, but the shirt.
Re: sun explosion
Love the art, but not as happy with this one - missing the earthy motifs. Of course, they would be there on the SUN! Still apropos, given the recent giant flare. Just doesn't hit me as well as the other.
Re: operation complication
I really like this. It looks like the heart is triumphing over the weapon.
You had me at Koi. But is it Rising sun, or Red sun? Intrinsically, they are interchangeable. But, for voters...?
Overall sweet. LOVE me a koi shirt.
Nice, with the woods and stream connecting the characters.
mnkybot wrote:This shirt has a good concept and the designer played by the rules. This should not have been rejected. Very arbitrary decision. Bad form, woot.
The shirt does not match the rules of the derby. It is explicitly stated that just using the color red alone is not enough, the design must also be related to red in some way beyond color. For example the "red shirt" concept currently in the fog is OK but just taking something from star wars and making it red is not OK. This is nothing against the quality of the design, only against the theme of the design.
Re: Red Summer Skies
This almost achieves the warm feelings I got back in the day from Anne McCaffrey and Byron Priess. Thanks.

Something about the little hands kills this for me - it's the positioning between them and the mouth. But the reflection is stellar. Good luck, compadre!
Re: Sweet Strawberry Satisfaction

Re: Red Peony
FWIW, I was inspired byt both the significance of the peopny in Asian culture, and the beauty of the peonies in my own garden. In fact, I used a very recent photo from my garden as a reference.
Re: Into The Woods
Hey everybody. I'll be posting more info and details/progress images later. Drakxxx and I are both busy on completely unrelated things so this entry has had many delays but I hope you like the end result. It's evolved quite a bit from the original concept.

Re: Passion - It lies in all of us
I got the feeling you were going for. But I'm afraid it goes outside the design area.

Her film career just keeps getting hotter, and Scarlett Johansson dropped by the "Today" show this morning (November 27) to talk about her new flick "Hitchcock."
The "We Bought a Zoo" babe explained that in order to prepare for her role as Janet Leigh, she contacted the actress' real-life daughter Jamie Lee Curtis for pointers.
Taking care of some career duties, Jessica Biel attended an after party following the premiere of her new flick "Hitchcock" last night in Beverly Hills.
The "Illusionist" actress was more than happy to throw down a few poses outside the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills.
Walking the red carpet with the film's main character conspicuously absent, the stars of "Hitchcock" gathered for a grand west coast premiere in Beverly Hills on Tuesday (November 20).
Making for quite the spectacle, the stars of "Hitchcock" hit the red carpet for their film's New York City premiere on Sunday evening (November 18).
In anticipation of the Thanksgiving weekend opening of the film, several exclusive photos from "Hitchcock" were released to ShockTillYouDrop.com.
The highly-anticipated drama stars Anthony Hopkins as the famous filmmaker himself with Helen Mirren starring as his wife and partner, Alma Reville.
Giving fans a sneak peek at Scarlett Johansson's portrayal of a screen legend, a new clip from "Hitchcock" was released featuring the actress's embodiment of Janet Leigh.
We're just two weeks away from the theatrical release of "Hitchcock," and FOX Searchlight Pictures has just released a new international trailer.
The must-see film is based on Stephen Rebello's book "Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho," and opens nationwide on November 23rd.
Giving moviegoers a much-anticipated first look, "Hitchcock" has just released the official teaser trailer.
And with a cast that includes Anthony Hopkins, Helen Mirren, Scarlett Johansson, Toni Collette, Jessica Biel, James D'Arcy, and Danny Huston, expectations are sky high.

Worst or not many of those made millions for the inventor or the company, so I would say they weren't a total loss!

And hey, the crinoline was an improvement over layers and layers and layers of hot, stuffy petticoats!
And the Pinto, beloved car. . . we were once given a Pinto at the car rental place when we went to visit my grandparents--my parents and me and my three siblings, along with 2 weeks' worth of luggage. Yeah, great choice, car rental people!
Tanning beds are still hugely popular in the Midwest where I live, even though it's plenty hot and sunny for at least 6 months of the year.
Crocs: They may be ugly as all get-out, but they're about the only thing that fit my husband's duck feet.
And oh, Microsoft Bob. Someone got it for my grandmother years ago, and she still talks about how awful it was.
segways are used by local police, by some security companies. However, I did see someone who had one for personal use, when he got a flat tire while on a trail. Since there is no room for a spare, his wife had to walk back to the car and pick him up.
Just came from the Blackhawks parade and I saw a bunch of cops on Segways.
I was personally excited to see my favorite on the list - Rejuvenique. I have to think that the Rejuvenique infomercial gave nightmares to an entire generation of small children.
How did aspic not make it on that list? *horf*
By the way, did anyone notice that the $cientology e-meter is in the thumbnail for the article but not actually on the list? I think it definitely deserves to be on that list over several of those inventions, but I guess Time wanted to get in a subtle jab at them while still covering their ass.

Yeah, playpens that you hang out the window!
I actually really miss the microsoft office assistants I used to waste hours animating the dog or cat...

If Agent Orange is on there, how did they not put the Atomic Bomb on that list?
I definitely agree with the pop up ads. They are the bane of my existence. (Although I don't get many now).
My cat is especially fond of the various fish/aspic variations, so he would definitely disagree with you.
And they gave thumbs down to fake hair? How could skating have survived the early '00s without it? Shae-Lynn, Volchkova, Angela Nikodinov?

A common quizzical refrain buzzing through the Capitol campus corridors: will this year go down as a do-nothing session of the Kentucky General Assembly? The answer is relative and can be answered both ways.
If you measure success by a bargain on pension reform, industrialized hemp, tax reform, redistricting – the answer is likely 'no.'
But, if you deem the session victorious for independent review of child death or near death cases stemming from abuse or neglect; raising the school dropout age from 16 to 18; stiffening laws and penalties for human trafficking while granting child victims safe harbor and giving bonding authority to the state's public universities to build or renovate dormitories, academic buildings and sports complexes — you'll quickly respond in the affirmative.
According to the Legislative Research Commission website, 101 pieces of legislation have been delivered to the governor so far. There were 216 Senate bills and 458 House bills filed for consideration in a 30-day session, a total not including the mounds of resolutions in each chamber. Simple math will direct you to your own conclusion about productivity or lack thereof. And, many contend that it's not the number that counts, but the substance. Here's some proof:
The first bill to reach the governor's desk (on Feb 21st) was House Bill 7 that gives bonding authority to six of the state's eight public universities for eleven campus construction projects totaling $363 million. The package includes $110 million in renovations to the University of Kentucky's Commonwealth Stadium.
Two weeks later, minor adjustments to the hallmark prescription drug abuse legislation of 2012 were approved. House Bill 217 tweaks laws that regulate pain management clinics, commonly called "pill mills" and requires doctors and pharmacists to use the state's prescription drug monitoring system, KASPER. House Speaker Greg Stumbo and House Judiciary chairman John Tilley's HB 217 exempts hospitals, long-term care facilities and hospice programs from some of the law's restrictions on prescribing and dispensing narcotics.
Child advocates statewide were jubilant over the passage of two measures they say offer more protections and services to abused, neglected, and exploited children. House Bill 3 strengthens Kentucky's human trafficking laws and offers "safe harbor" for child victims of trafficking –- giving them health and counseling services instead of locking them up for prostitution. It also establishes a victims' fund from fines and asset seizure of traffickers. And, House Bill 290 makes permanent a 20-member external child fatality and near-death review panel that will have access to full and complete records of neglect and abuse cases. The Kentucky Youth Advocates applaud the measure for striking a balance between public disclosure and protecting sensitive information beyond the victim and perpetrator. Both of those measures were sent to the governor on Tuesday.
A compromise measure long in the making aims to lower the high school dropout rate by keeping kids in school until they turn 18. The initial language of Senate Bill 97 gave every school district the option of upping the legal school dropout age from 16 to 18. That still stands, but the House added language mandating that it will become mandatory statewide four years after more than half of the state's districts implement it.
Skeptics of the school dropout plan are pessimistic that raising dropout age will actually increase graduation rates. Meade County Democrat Jeff Greer sponsored a rival bill in the state House that would gradually raise the dropout age from 16 to 18 statewide. He's been on the compulsory attendance beat for at least four sessions, and this time around the compromise sealed the deal.
Louisville Democrat Reginald Meeks, a co-sponsor of the measure, offered some reserved praise. He said lawmakers are backing into a decision instead of forging ahead with progressive, forward-thinking action.
Madisonville Republican Ben Waide has been a relentless foe of the school dropout measure. He stood again to sternly assert that research shows raising the dropout age doesn't guarantee an improvement in graduation rates.
The House approved the amended school dropout measure on a vote of 88 to ten. The Kentucky State Senate gave it final passage on a vote of 33 to 5. When the measure hit the Senate floor, it was carried by Senator David Givens of Greensburg, who said it had all the elements of a great compromise measure –- time, leaders, and substance. He said the bill wouldn't work without a number of vigilant supports to see the red flags as youngsters fall into distress, especially early in the game.
Former governor Julian Carroll, who became Frankfort's state senator in 2005, stressed the value of education for its capacity to prepare students for productive citizenship. He noted the high correlation between dropouts and prisoners.
Though Senate Bill 97 cleared the Senate 33 to 5, four Republicans joined Independent Bob Leeper in dissent. Governor Beshear and the First Lady released a statement of appreciation for passage of what they call "the graduation bill." The statement said in part that Senate Bill 97 "will help to break the cycle of poverty, close the revolving door of prison, and improve the quality of life for all Kentuckians."
The ACLU of Kentucky and the Fairness Campaign are among the groups pressuring Governor Steve Beshear to veto the 'Religious Freedom Restoration Act" embodied in House Bill 279. Defenders of the measure contend their religious freedoms have been under attack by the government at all levels, while opponents believe the idea will lead to discrimination of gays and lesbians and an erosion of civil rights protections by allowing folks to assert a deeply held religious belief for not doing business or interacting with minority groups. The governor has yet to announce his intentions toward the bill. He could allow it to become law without his signature.
Senate Republican Leader Damon Thayer recited a lyric from the Rolling Stones in announcing a compromise on a bill giving more transparency to special taxing districts such as water and sewer districts, librarie, and fire departments. "You can't always get what you want," said Thayer of House Bill One. He has often bemoaned those special purpose government entities as exacting taxation without representation and argued for more local government control over their ability to levy taxes and fees. In the end, negotiators agreed making special taxing districts hold public meetings before increasing taxes or fees and to give reports to fiscal courts regarding their budgets. Non-compliance with the new rules could subject these boards to an audit by state officials and jeopardize state funding.
What's undone? Hemp, pension reform, redistricting, and a slew of other headline-drawing issues. I'll break those down next week.

Tulsa staff honored by organization
Tulsa staff honored by organization
The award is given annually to a member or members of the club's player development staff. It has been renamed for Mike Coolbaugh, the Tulsa coach who was killed when hit with a line drive while coaching in a game in Little Rock, Ark., on July 22. The trio will be honored at the club's annual player development awards banquet in Tucson.
"We are very proud of the award and very proud of the men who earned it this year," Rockies player development director Marc Gustafson said in the club's press release. "The three of them represent the best of what our organization believes in and all three were at their very best last year during an extremely difficult time for the Tulsa club."

Discussion in 'December 2008' started by Dlev59, Dec 14, 2008.
Not a good coach at this point
He's not awful; just not great. I'm impressed Pistons/Rip. Now Curry put a big in please.
Refs hosed the Stones. Bunch of soft floppers is deh Jazz. Oh well. How many titles does that franchise have again?
Too many turnovers and fouls, bad decisions when the game is on the line cost us the game... Great performance by Allen Iverson again...
Man we got robbed, Stern definitely doesnt want us to get any better. I cant believe we had 4 guys, count em 4 guys 4 guys foul out wtf. I'll stop here because I can feel my blood pressure raise,lol.
The foul disparity was nearly fifteen in favor of the Jazz.
A loss, but it was an exciting game none the less. Sheed came through in the clutch again hitting two threes that helped us get to overtime. Hard to win with Stuckey, Sheed, Dyess, and Rip fouled out.
Great game, refs screwed us, but the Pistons are coming along nicely. Really great gut check to take it to oT, and to second OT. You can feel the mental toughness building.
I can certainly understand if we commited more fouls than utah but to have 4 guys foul out and for not 1 guy on their roster to not have even 5 fouls is utterly ridiculous. We played well except for the short letdown in the 3rd. After that we got raped by the refs. No one can convince me otherwise, I dont care what anyone else says.
Few thoughts; Sheed was great defensively for the most part and hit a few clutch shots. Loved the foul on AK and consequent stare down; if you're going to foul get a little something out of it. However, he needs to not be our 16th option anymore. Go to him in the post even if he doesn't shoot; just run it through him at times. The guards on this team are great, but they dominate the ball too much. Rip has been reading all these trade threads and he says . Awesome game for him tonight. He did an OK job on DW; gave him too much room on his jump shots for fear of getting blown past, but overall good game. AA was the only one that could handle Deron out there. And Stuckey has to be in to run the offense at the end of games. Curry's going to have to make some tough (neccessary) decisions in the 4th. Dice was absolutely mauled. Awful no call. Curry really needs to stop with the small ball esp in the clutch. I don't know how many more times Tay has to get embarrassed at PF for him to realize this is very bad idea. When Walter Hermann came in, this game was over. We need to trade every avaliable player in front of Amir's PT (Sharpe,Hermann,etc). Not putting Amir or even KB in was a huge tactical error as well as taking AA out even though Rip/AI were offensively in a groove. AI made a stupid decision to pass to Stuckey for that three. He should have dominated the ball in 2OT when he was in with that line-up. That's what we brought him here for to take over in the clutch so he needs to take over; he was way too passive at times. Overall though, very good game by him; struggled defensively a little, but only a few possessions did i see him horribly out of position. The effort was there, and he was much better. Offensively, he seems to have hit a groove. He's doing a much better job of playing within the offense, and picking his spots. 2 good games in a row. I'm curious to what that argument in the huddle with Tay/Curry/and him was about ??; probably the pass to Stuckey. Tayshaun was solid. Not his fault he can't guard Okur who we always manage to make look like Tim Duncan. Stuckey was quiet, but solid. If Curry gets over whatever Amir did to him, plays KB more, and lessens the small ball, i will be overjoyed. And palace fans stop cheering like that for Hermann. He is a sucky player. We were solid on the boards until that dreaded line-up. All in all, good effort; loved the fight. The team showed progress. The Jazz were playing like crap coming into this game, but they always give us trouble so a bad loss, but not a horrible one. Also most of our team fouled out. This game was impressive even though they lost. I feel alot more optimistic after this one.
Also i don't understand why the hell stuckey, afflalo and hermann were takin' shots down the stretch..If MC said to team "give the ball to AI and get out of his way" pistons would win this game. @lpgrl26 AI usualy give the ball to someone and get it back quick to shoot but pistons team don't know this and they are so willing to take a shot...Also read the above.It's not about AI it's about the coach and other players.Also he's not quiet in OT.He scored 8 of pistons 16 points...I call these are the facts...
I wasn't really paying attention to the fouls until a Pistonkept fouling out every 20 seconds. How can four players foul out in one game> Was Tim Donahy calling this game from his cell There were two key plays that influenced the out come of this game. The first was when the Pistons were up 80-73 with 7:30 left in regulation. Korver missed a three pointer and the rebound was going out of bounds and Harping got it and threw up in the air and Memo out jumped the "small ball" Pistons and then gave it Williams who returned it to Memo for a driving layup. That turned the game around as the Jazz went on a 18-2 run over the next 3 minutes to take away the momentum. Yeah the Pistons tied on some clutch shots by Sheed, Stuckey and Rip, but within a few minutes they were all spectators on the bench. Also the second bad move was when the pistons had about 20 seconds to win the game and the best they could do is 3 point brick from Stuckey with 1.4 seconds left. Why AI didn't just attempt to drive and either for it pass to man standing outside the lane for a possible layup is beyond me?? OH yeah we don't have that play in our play book It was not Stuckey's best game as he was saddled with fouls, but how many times did Deron Williams beat Rip on defense?? What happen to Tay in second half? After leading the Pistons to the 29-19 lead with 11 points in the first quarter, he drank some crazy fluid at halftime and was out of sync for the next two periods and didn't wake up until the OT. 38 and 30 from AI and Rip but only 10 points from the bench...who was that who said we had the second best bench in the league Once again Milsap gets a double-double to answer the question of who needs Boozer?? If only our version of Milsap, some chap called JMAX was as good as him Memo now 7-1 vs the Pistons since he left?? Maybe it's time to bring him back to our side since he might be FA this summer. At this point if AMir cannot get into the Piston lineup after 4 pistons foul out, then his playing days in a Piston uni are probably done.
Small ball. Curry kept going to it, with never a good result. Still, a lot of good stuff. AI scored about 36. Rip hit quite a few shots. Sheed? He made four triples, otherwise, did not score. But did anyone else notice, Sheed is the only big we start the game with. That is tiring. What exactly can you expect from a guy who is told to go play the middle all by himself. Herrmann? Is Curry that desperate to play small ball he would bring Herrmann into the game to end the 2nd overtime. I guess so. Herrmann had the one missed 3, and never affected a single defensive play, as per usual. Player development. Max played enough. Afflalo played a lot. Stuckey played a lot. Lots of experience for the young guys, and Bynum even got some burn. But still no Amir. That is going on five games now with no Amir, and he was playing little before that. Not good. I'll give Curry a 75% grade tonight on player development, which is a failing grade. Oh, Kwame played all of maybe 4 minutes? Still a failing grade. Lets talk about Dyess. His offense tonight was truly horrid. Yes, he made a couple of his many outside shots. But he did absolutely nothing inside. Between Dyess and Sheed being our two featured bigs, that is zero inside presence from the bigs. AI and Stuckey give us some paint points, but you can forget getting any from Dyess and Sheed. Horrible. I will give Sheed a pass since he had to do a ton on defense. Dyess, what is he doing playing so many minutes. Kwame looked fine while in. Hustled, even affected the offensive rebounds positively. Hmm, we ended up eventually seeing both Sheed and Dyess foul out. Perhaps we could have played Kwame just a bit more. And why Amir does not fit this game? No reason. For the game as a whole, Stuckey did very little. Afflalo at least played pretty solid D while in. A lot of that was at small forward, but we also called upon him to stop their point guard some. Lot of versatility there. At some points in this game, we played great D. But Curry often thought of defense as something that would take care of itself. At least by the units he used. It amazes me that he thinks Dyess is his second best big. Nope. Defensively, Dyess ain't got it. Maxiell played some pretty solid D, was given virtually no shots on offense. Tay got inside on them quite often. Outside shot not hitting. The main thing most people are seeing, whether they agree on anything else, is that small ball does not work. Letting the other team overpower us so often, and waltz untouched down the lane so much, is no way to play basketball. You take away all the time we played small ball in this game, and its a rather comfortable win. By the way, this thing got to overtime on some threes by Sheed, something Dumars has publicly frowned upon. Well, if they go in, they sure don't look so bad. But he got three crazy, shooting one after we had tied the game up, and only needed a two to get an advantage. No, that is never acceptable late in a game. Three's shot early, hey, you can make the misses up. But not late in the game like that. Sheed is no rookie either. Time for him to think a bit before launching so many threes. Even if he just made some. A time and a place for them. That last was not the time.
I disagree. I think AI is still trying to fit in. He's not really developed the mentality where he feels comfortable demanding the ball in situations like that here (which will come in time). It not neccessarily a bad thing though. He understands that he now plays on a "team", and the other players are all good. I think as time goes on he'll get better at knowing when he has to/should take over. What i liked about him this game is i only counted two forced shots by him. Otherwise he was aggressive within the offense; not trying to take 4 guys off the dribble. I think in the huddle Curry was telling him he should taken that himself instead of passed to Stuckey. Most encouraging thing about this game is the team never folded.
We played small a lot. Our only recourse was often to foul them to stop an easy bucket. It was not the refs. It was Curry's coaching.
I can understand that, but not 17 fouls worth. Just my opinion. A lot of those fouls were guys playing hard D and the refs subjectively calling fouls on them as if they had some kind of agenda. I watch the game too lee.
I mean he scored 8 of pistons' 16 points in OT.So he was not quiet...But i agree with you here.He doesn't demand the ball.But pistons don't want him to demand the ball too. Stuckey was 8/11 from the 3pt line in last 7 games and he was wide open in that play..AI did the right thing when he was doubled. I know you're never gonna like AI but he played great tonight. 38 points 7 assists 5 rebounds 3 steals 13/24fg 11/11 ft..
Cosigned by exp.
The only thing that really stood out to me foul wise was the blatant no call on Dice. Otherwise, i saw some iffy stuff, but not enough to say we were getting screwed. They really were just bigger than us. I think he played great; just could have made a few better decisions. The bigger problem IMO was Paul Milsap; 24 pts, 12 rebounds. It's going to continue to happen if we play predominately small.
Well, I will be watching it again yet. Do the same and lets compare notes.
Separate names with a comma.

This time I've used the WOF templates and followed the progress of others. Like many, I've used picture mat board and hot glue. Instead of bondo for the dome however, I used a pre mixed paper mache. I had no issue working with it. It's a little easier to sand and apply. My issue though is that it dries with a porous surface. I figure I can use a light body filler to fix it. Or maybe a few coats of resin would be able to fill those pits? Any ideas? I intend to fiberglass inside and lay a few coats of resin on the outside.

Spring break is almost here. For this adventure we'll take a look at some easy, fun treats to make while the kids are home from school.
The first are Nutter Butter ice cream cone treats. These are easy because they only involve dipping and decorating. You can use normal size Nutter Butter cookies to look more like an ice cream cone or the smaller circle size — "smaller, round" cookie that looks more like a waffle bowl of ice cream.
Dip the top of the cookie in white chocolate and then decorate with sprinkles. Top it off with an M&M or other small circular candy to look like a cherry on top.
After they cool, they look adorable and taste great.
Another easy treat is to make is a sucker out of Jolly Rancher candies.
Line a pan with parchment paper and place about three Jolly Rancher candies next to one another so they look stacked lying on the paper. Bake in an oven at 200 degrees for five minutes. The suckers still will be a little gooey. Place the sucker stick in the melted candies and let cool. After they cool, peel off the paper and you have a sucker.
After making these, I wondered if you could use a cookie cutter to make the suckers into shapes before they cool. It might be something to try if you have the time and plenty of candy for trial and error.
I goofed when I tried the third recipe, sugar cookie covered Oreos. All I had to go by was a photo and after the cookies began to bake, I realized I should have done something differently.
I used refrigerated cookie dough but you probably could use your own sugar cookie recipe. Wrap the dough around the Oreo cookie and then cover with sprinkles. For good coverge, put some sprinkles in a bowl and press the cookie into the sprinkles.
The next step is where I goofed. I put the cookies on a regular cookie sheet and noticed when they began to bake they spread like a normal cookie. I realized to have the sugar cookie keep its shape around the Oreo I should have baked the cookies in a muffin tin to keep the cookie from spreading flat.
The result of all three recipes was a colorful array of treats that were simple enough to do with kids if they are bored at home on spring break.

Welcome to Philosophy at Wilfrid Laurier University
Welcome to the Department of Philosophy. Philosophy is the study of fundamental ideas-ideas upon which many other ideas depend. Philosophers are concerned with such questions as, "Does God exist?" "Are human beings free?" "Is there such a thing as a soul, or are we entirely physical beings?" "What is truth?" "Which actions are morally good?" These questions deal with fundamental ideas in the sense that how we answer them has important implications both for what we should believe and how we should act.
Watch the Laurier Undergraduate Philosophy video starring Prof. Bob Litke on YouTube
For those of you pondering a career in teaching, please note that the Ontario College of Teachers has now declared Philosophy a "teachable" subject. This means that university students with a degree in Philosophy are eligible to apply for admission to one of the Province's 30 faculties of education on the strength of that degree alone. Just one more reason to become a Philosophy major. But there are many more, including the fact that on average Philosophy majors do appreciably better than most other students on both the GMAT (Graduate Management Admission Test) and the LSAT (Law School Admission Test). For more information on these facts, on our graduate and undergraduate programs, or on the nature of philosophy itself, please explore the links to the left.

very little rust on this car. underside is mint! only real rust is around the windshield which is pictured
has some normal dings from regular wear and tear..
has some hail damage on the roof and the hood.
motor runs pretty good with the exception of a slight misfire when the motor is warm and you re-start it. not sure what it is. i havent had a chance to look into it too much as of yet. i think an injector might be partially clogged.
only other issue is the idiot PO cut a hole in the floor and in the body to run the exhaust. exhaust has been fixed and run out the back...but the hole in the floor and the body would need to be patched.
other than that the car is very nice and a great starting point for someone.
i think i really want to get back into an mk3 or another mk2 with a swap of some kind. 2.0 is preferred. otherwise im looking for around $2100 obo

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|It is normal that nails grow when the dog lives indoor. You have to consider that also with the nail growth there is a blood vessel growth. You can cut a little shorter every nail and with cotton press for some minutes to stop the blood. In this way you can limit the growth of blood vessels and keep nails short.
Seems so young to have SLO.
It'll get worse before it gets better. Poor pup!
Jax, that's it!
This is what was sent out by the director...there is an online yahoo group for support and probaby advice...you might want to check them out! The dog's only symptoms in this case was constant nail splitting and they tried all the usual fish oil treatments, etc.
Symmetrical Lupoid Onychodystrophy
SLO is an autoimmune disease of dogs which can cause severe claw problems in otherwise apparently healthy dogs. It is characterised by the loss of claws from more than one paw - eventually all claws may be lost. Other symptoms may include: receding quicks, secondary infection (often with a strong smell), claw splitting (usually down the back of the claw), pain, distorted/twisted claws and lameness.
A firm diagnosis can only be reached by the biopsy of a claw, dewclaws usually being used for this. In the absence of an available dewclaw it is necessary to amputate a toe at its bottom joint in order to do the biopsy. In many cases, this is considered an extreme step to take, and is not strictly necessary. If the dog is showing signs of SLO, treatment using the latest protocols can be started - if they work, it largely confirms the diagnosis, even without the biopsy.
Modern treatments include the use of essential fatty acid (EFA) supplements, antibiotic treatment with tetracycline and niacinamide (nicotinamide). Removal of claws as they become loose can help to alleviate pain, but generally isn't necessary. Although there are few studies to scientifically confirm the results, the treatment appears to be effective. Once the disease is in remission, supplementation may need to be continued for life to prevent relapse.
SLO can appear in all breeds, including crossbreeds and mixed-breeds, although some breeds seem to be more susceptible than others. It is not infectious or contagious - other dogs which come into contact with it cannot contract it. It appears to be spontaneous, and there is no evidence of an hereditary factor - because of the absence of studies and the small number of known cases though, there is little proof of this other than anecdotal evidence.
It is likely that it is a newly-recognised old condition, rather than a new disease. It is probably more common than it appears, because in many cases it is not diagnosed correctly. In response to the lack of information available, a number of owners of dogs with this condition have gathered on the Internet to share information and support, and to discuss management and treatment protocols.
Owners of dogs with the condition, and anyone else who has an interest, can share support and information on the subject by joining the Canine Symmetrical Lupoid Onychodystrophy Mailing List, where they can discuss their problems with other owners, some of whom have been treating their dogs for many years.

TomnJen I made an offer to a person who was contemplating getting a rescue that was in very bad shape. Never did hear from them, not even sure they adopted the animal (doubts).
So as a goodwill to help you with your dog , particularly since you have been put through an emotional wringer with battling parvo and some issues that will take a long time to resolve , I would like to extend an offer to you which is to provide you with a source of high omega 3, one from fish oil - dha / epa , and the other through camelina oil.
One is Sh-Emp (fish) and the other is Power of 3-EA's which has camelina oil, African Red Palm (compete profile vitamin E) and unrefined Rice bran oil . I'll also through in a Sunday Sundae .
There is no charge . This will assist in your recovery. Do see a vet -- you may want to spritz some Vetricyn around the nail bed to prevent bacterial infection.
Lupoid onychodystrophy???
It's an autoimmune disease
Grassmere Animal Hospital - SLO - Symmetrical Lupoid Onychodystrophy
|A dog in one of the rescues I volunteer with just recently had a similar issue.....i can't remember the name of the condition, but it's rare.....this sounds like a similar thing.....ill try to remember to find out what it's called for you...
|Mary Beth
|Nails can break if they are too long. So it may not be related to the parvo. If the nails are short and still breaking, you may want to check with your vet. If the nails are long, they need to cut or grinded - but only a little at a time as the longer the nail, the longer the quick (the part that bleeds). Stypic powder or stypic pads will stop the bleeding.
|There is a condition where a dog's nails shed. From what I understand, it's very painful. I don't believe Parvo should have made her lose all her hair. I would call your vet and have her looked at. If nothing else, she may have some nutrient deficiencies that are causing this.
Puppy's Toenails breaking off and bleeding
I have 2 sisters that are almost 4 months old. One of them (Maddie) had Parvo and we almost lost her. She was so bad she lost a lot of her hair and was down to 6 pounds. We thankfully got her through and her adult hair is growing back but her toenails are breaking off in half on the front and back paws. I just put her in her crate when she came in from outside because 3 of her toenails are bleeding on one foot. Has anyone ever heard of this happening?

What I want is to be down down down...I need to get to the gym, and keep tracking my points. I wonder why I didn't turn to BTL when it got rough?

Workcamp crews improve homes for NH families
By BARBARA TAORMINA
Union Leader Correspondent | July 26. 2013 7:49PM
Analise Enright, of Westboro, Maine, finishes the steps to a new deck at the home of a Nashua family. The project was one of several completed in the area this week by participants in Workcamp, a faith-based summer program centered on community service. (BARBARA TAORMINA/Union Leader Correspondent)
Workcamp crews of middle school, high school and college students spent the first two weeks of July camped out at Berlin High School, working on projects for families in the northern tip of the state. Adult volunteers teach campers the different techniques and skills needed to complete each job.For the past week, campers have been living in classrooms at Pennichuck Middle School.
"They have done a heck of a job," said Nashua resident Karen Terilli, who was getting the new deck that Supplee was helping to build. Terilli had quadruplets 16 years ago, and two of her children are in wheelchairs.
"We are as thankful to the residents as they are to us because they allow us to place kids in their homes to learn skills," said Therrien.
"It's really all about the residents," said Supplee, who had the chance to get to know Terilli and her family while working at their home.
"It's just so much fun being here with friends," he said. "And we get so much joy working for people."Therrien said the work at Workcamp can be hard, hot and dirty, but campers and volunteers always get the job done.

Arsène Wenger has praised his team for responding well to a potentially "deadly" goal at Stamford Bridge on Saturday - but he wants them to defend better.
John Terry got ahead of Per Mertesacker to bundle Chelsea into a 2-1 lead just moments before half time at the weekend but Arsenal regrouped and were ahead within ten minutes of the restart before running out 5-3 winners.
Wenger believes that their second-half fightback showed the spirit within his squad but he would rather avoid defensive mistakes in the first place.
"There is still some room for improvement defensively," he said. "In the first half we were too vulnerable, Chelsea missed some chances, so we can still improve. But it is important to go away from home and score five at Chelsea, because not many teams can do that.
"It is hard to watch defensively beause we gave them too much room, too much in midfield, we were exposed on long balls over the top, so you can only hope you do not pay too much for it. And after it was a bit of a test mentally because conceding before half time can be deadly, but the way we responded was very pleasant.
"I feel as well a team like Chelsea play in an offensive style, with top quality players to do it. They play with Mata, Torres, Sturridge, Ramires in the box and Cole and Bosingwa as wingers. When you do not manage to block them they inevitably make chances."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Very low birth weight is a term used to describe babies who are born weighing less than 3 pounds, 4 ounces. It is very rare that babies are born this tiny. But the overall rate of very-low-birth-weight babies in the U.S. is going up. This is because more multiple birth babies are being born. Multiples are more likely to be born early and weigh less.
The main cause of a very-low-birth-weight baby is premature birth. Premature means born before 37 weeks of pregnancy. Very-low-birth-weight babies are often born before 30 weeks of pregnancy. A premature baby has less time in the mother's womb to grow and gain weight. Much of a baby's weight is gained during the latter part of pregnancy.
Another cause of very low birth weight is intrauterine growth restriction. This happens when a baby does not grow well during pregnancy. It may be because of problems with the placenta, the mother's health, or birth defects. Most very-low-birth-weight babies who have intrauterine growth restriction are also born early. They are usually very small and physically immature.
A baby is more likely to be very low birth weight if he or she is premature or has intrauterine growth restriction. Other things that increase the risk are tied to the mother. They include:
Babies with very low birth weight look much smaller than other babies of normal birth weight. A very-low-birth-weight baby has a head that usually looks bigger than the rest of his or her body. A very-low-birth-weight baby often looks very thin with little body fat. Blood vessels can be easily seen through the skin.
One of the main reasons for regular prenatal exams is to make sure your unborn baby is growing well. During pregnancy, the size of your baby is figured out in different ways. Your steady weight gain is one way of checking on the baby's growth.
Another way is to measure the top of your uterus from the pubic bone. The number of centimeters measured is usually the same or close to the number of weeks of pregnancy. If the fundus measurement is low for the number of weeks, it may mean that your baby is not growing well.
Other ways to check the baby's growth are:
A birth weight of less than 5 pounds, 8 ounces is diagnosed as low birth weight. Babies weighing less than 3 pounds, 4 ounces at birth are considered very low birth weight.
