What better place to pursue Central European Studies than Warsaw? It's where composer Frédéric Chopin spent his childhood, pianist Arthur Rubinstein was trained, and chemist/physicist Marie Curie and Hollywood producer Samuel Goldwyn were born. From European economics and power struggles to Polish history and culture to the Polish language, you'll explore it all with CIEE and have plenty of adventures, too. By the time you return home, you'll know what being a Varsovian is all about.
Study abroad in Warsaw and you'll:
We want as many students as possible to benefit from studying abroad. That's why CIEE awards more than $5 million every year – more than any other international educational organization – to make study abroad affordable.
Applicants to this program are eligible for the following scholarships and grants:
$2,500 toward program costs. To recognize high academic achievement, CIEE offers a limited number of merit scholarships to our strongest students. These awards are based on students' academic records, and on the submission of a personal essay describing to us how their CIEE program will impact their college experience and future career plans.
The GAIN Grant helps cover airfare costs to and from CIEE program locations for students who demonstrate high financial need. GAIN Grants are available for short-term (January and summer), semester and year-long CIEE programs.
Applicants for the Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship can apply for the CIEE Gilman Go Global Grant, which provides both program cost support and support for airfare. Students will have to provide proof of having applied to the Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship, upon request.
To be considered, submit the CIEE Scholarships & Grants application within your CIEE program application. Learn more at the Scholarships & Grants section of our website.Apply now

Learning isn't confined to the classroom with CIEE. During study tours and excursions, you might visit government institutions in Warsaw, travel north to the tri-city area of Gdansk, Gdynia and Sopot to study the history of immigration and learn about the Solidarity movement that led to the downfall of Communism in Poland, explore a Polish city such as Gniezno or Lublin, visit the royal city of Kraków, delve into 1,000-year-old Wieliczka salt mines, or learn about World War II tragedies in the Auschwitz State Museum. You'll also attend opera and ballet performances, classical music concerts, and a variety of other cultural events.
Staff members may assist you with seeking volunteer and internship opportunities to gain real-world experience and advance professional skills. These may take place in various nongovernmental organizations and state institutions.
We want to make sure you get the most out of your experience when you study abroad with CIEE, which is why we offer the most inclusions in our fees.

The capital city of Warsaw was built on hard work and self-reliance. Decimated during World War II, the grand city was painstakingly restored and brought back to life. There's always something to do in Poland's largest city – a buzzing metropolis with skyscrapers, but also richly detailed palaces, gardens, parks, and beaches. A relatively young city by Polish standards, Warsaw was founded in the 14th century and became the nation's functioning capital in 1596. Warsaw is a bustling city at the center of Poland's economic and cultural life, and a thriving Central European capital. Enjoy the many theaters, museums, cafés, and and buzzing nightlife while studying abroad in the most rapidly growing city in Central Europe.
Bogdan A. Radomski, Ph.D., a native of Poland, received his M.Sc. and Ph.D. in economics from the Warsaw School of Economics and currently also serves as an associate professor and senior lecturer of international finance there. Bogdan began as CIEE's resident director in Warsaw in 1989 with the program's inception. He strongly believes that personal contacts developed by living with people of different nationalities, cultures, and habits, help eliminate stereotypes and xenophobia, and thus, furthers better understanding in today's world.
The CIEE Study Center in Poland opened in 1989, as the first CIEE program in Central Europe. Poland today is the most successful country in the Region in transforming its society, economy, laws, and public institutions from a Communist regime to a free market democracy. May 1, 2004 was a turning point in the history of Poland. On that date, Poland became a member of the European Union, and the dreams of millions of Solidarity members were fulfilled. Poland entered European Union as the sixth biggest country in Europe and started to adjust its political, economic, institutional system to European Union standards.
The CIEE Study Center in Warsaw offers a unique opportunity for ambitious students to study such processes in reality, rather than reading about them in books or gaining stereotypical opinions from media. The country is truly a laboratory to study social, political, and economic changes. In fact, the transition from a totalitarian political system with a command economy to a democratic society with a market economy had never happened before anywhere in history. There have been both many achievements and failures since Solidarity defeated communism in Poland. It is indeed fascinating to observe ongoing processes of change in Poland, and the successful accession to the European Union provides yet another interesting case study. Students who choose this program are coming to the right country and studying at the right institution if they want to learn about a rapidly changing country and region. Students will confront existing stereotypes about Poland and Central Europe and compare them with the day-to-day reality of life in the region. Studies on modern Poland are very nicely balanced by studies on ancient Polish history and culture and its interconnections with culture of the regional countries and the rest of Europe.
— Dr. Bogdan Radomski, Resident Director
Malgorzata (Gosia) Nowicka received her M.A. in American literature at Warsaw University and has been working with CIEE Warsaw since 2008. She studied abroad in Germany on a Socrates Erasmus Scholarship. She has also worked for a number of cultural events in Poland, including film and music festivals. A certified tour guide and Warsaw native, Gosia employs her local expertise to help foreign students feel at home in Warsaw. She is also personally involved in helping to preserve the rich Jewish heritage of Poland, through education projects for a non-governmental organization.
Established in 1906, the Warsaw School of Economics (Szkoła Główna Handlowa - SGH) is the oldest and largest economics university in Poland, with 16,000 students. Located close to the city center, SGH offers programs in economics, management, statistics, computer science, demography, and public-sector economics. SGH has developed close contacts with over 200 higher education institutions from abroad, and its academic staff plays an active role in the private sector and state administration, as well as in numerous domestic and international organizations. The student dormitory is walking distance to the SGH campus.
Housing is included in the program fee. Study abroad students live together in double rooms in a Warsaw School of Economics dormitory, with shared bath and kitchen facilities. Polish and other international students live in the dormitory as well. The dormitory is located very close to the campus and city bus and tramway stops. The metro station is a 10-minute walk from the dormitory. Dormitory is available to students until the end of SGH semesters (late January for Fall students and late June for Spring students) Meals are not included in the program fee and are the responsibility of the student. Meals may be prepared in the dormitory, or eaten at any of the various student cafeterias or restaurants and cafés in Warsaw.
You'll begin your study abroad experience in Warsaw even before leaving home by participating in a CIEE online pre-departure orientation. The assistant resident director meets with students online and shares information about the program and site, highlighting issues that alumni have said are important, and giving you time to ask questions. The online orientation allows you to connect with others in the group, reflect on what you want to get out of the program, and learn what others in the group would like to accomplish. CIEE's aim for the pre-departure orientation is simple: to help you understand more about the program and identify your goals.
A mandatory, weeklong orientation conducted in Warsaw at the beginning of the program, introduces you to the country, language, culture, and academic program, and provides practical information about living in Warsaw. A mandatory two-week Survival Polish course is an integral part of orientation and will help you with phonetics and learning phrases for everyday life situations. You'll benefit from ongoing orientation and cultural learning through their associations with CIEE Polish "Buddies," local SGH students recruited to assist CIEE students. You will meet your buddy at the beginning of orientation. Ongoing support is provided by CIEE staff on an individual and group basis throughout the program.
You are encouraged to bring a wireless-enabled laptop. You will be able to access the Internet in your dorm room and in the school buildings, as well as in any café/restaurant and in central parts of bigger cities. You are encouraged to use the email account established through the SGH network. Please note that you'll have limited access to computers at the Warsaw School of Economics (SGH). There also are numerous Internet cafés in Warsaw for your use.
With 78 different higher education institutions, Warsaw is home to almost 250,000 students; local "buddies" help introduce CIEE students to the city's thriving student social life. The Erasmus Student Network brings international students together, while site visits, workshops, and city tours help students understand Warsaw.
The CIEE Study Center in Warsaw offers a Cultural Reimbursement Program that may be used to explore Warsaw and other areas of Poland independently. As a means of encouraging you to take maximum advantage of your time in Warsaw and in Poland, you may be reimbursed for some of your tickets to theater, Polish films, opera, ballet, and other special local events.
Established in 1989, the study abroad program provides a broad-based academic program combined with an in-country cultural experience. The program offers students Polish language instruction and a series of specially designed courses in such fields as Central European politics, literature, history, and economics, as well as the option to enroll in Warsaw School of Economics (Szkoła Główna Handlowa - SGH), where courses are taught in English or Polish.
All CIEE courses are taught in English. Course content is country and region specific. The teaching method tends to be lectures, although most professors welcome discussion. CIEE courses generally meet twice a week for 90 minutes. CIEE students are registered at SGH as full time students and are granted SGH student IDs.
The CIEE program calendar follows that of the U.S. higher education system, with the fall semester running from late August to mid-December, and the spring semester from late January to mid-May. However, the academic calendar for the Warsaw School of Economics consists of a fall semester from late September to late January, and a spring semester from mid-February to late May or early June. CIEE students who directly enroll in SGH courses may request permission for early exams prior to the winter holiday break (fall semester) or summer break (spring semester), although CIEE does not guarantee approval of such requests.
CIEE courses are with other CIEE study abroad students only. SGH Warsaw School of Economics courses are with international and Polish students.
As study abroad students gain proficiency in Polish, resident staff encourages them to use their language skills in everyday settings. The more students participate, the more a community that contributes to Polish language proficiency and understanding of Polish society develops.
Grades are assigned using the Polish grading scale of 2–5.5 (with 5.5 being the highest possible grade) and converted to U.S. letter grade equivalents. Plus grades (i.e. 3+, 4+, etc.) are also assigned, but there are no minus grades awarded. Most courses have at least two means of assessment, usually a mid-term and final exam or paper. However, depending on the course, additional assignments such as a research paper or a class presentation may also be required. Attendance and class participation are also incorporated into the final grade for all courses.
Courses are taught by faculty members of SGH Warsaw School of Economics, as well as from a number of other Polish institutions of higher education, which may include the University of Warsaw, the Polish Academy of Sciences, and universities in Kraków.
Note: This course listing is for informational purposes only and does not constitute a contract between CIEE and any applicant, student, institution, or other party. The courses, as described, may be subject to change as a result of ongoing curricular revisions, assignment of lecturers and teaching staff, and program development. Courses may be canceled due to insufficient enrollment.

"The card turned out exactly as it appeared online. Additionally, the image that I uploaded for the back turned out very clear. Very impressed! Also, it came in adorable packaging!"
"I wouldn't have believed a card could make people so happy but everyone here was stunned by how great these cards looked. Previously we bought our cards from the big guys and we were so unhappy with the cards. We feel so lucky we finally found Tiny Prints. Outstanding company. We wish all our business suppliers gave us such a great product at such a great price with great customer service!!! We can't wait to get more cards!!! Thanks Tiny Prints!!"
"I use this card for a travel card...picturing my wife and I along with our first names (on the white portion of the front) and full contact info on the back. We've found these to be great for giving out toward the end of a tour/cruise to the people we've met and connected with."
"Great looking card, the designer helped me get the back of the card to look exactly as I wanted. The pearl finish stands out against my competitors cards. Delivery was very quick! Thanks Tiny Prints!"
"Good, heavy quality cardstock. I chose the teal option and find it to be both professional and eye-catching - I wanted a card that would be easy to find if flipping through a rolodex, since I don't have a logo, and this is exactly what I was looking for."

text: Ok, I finally modded my jetpack with the screen accurate hooks and am using one of fett dads harness with the correct O rings. Those who remember this harness system it doesn't have a bottom so the weight rests on the O rings. My problem is that the hooks on the jetpack are scratching the heck out of the backplate. In essence I should repaint it after every troop and I"m afraid it will eventually wear all the way through the ABS plastic. I'm thinking of putting some kind of thin rubber layer in about a 2"x3" area where each hook seems to rub to prevent the problem but I was wondering if any of you guys have similar problems and what you did to solve the issue.

Insect Repellents – They are permitted in your carry-on bags and checked baggage. The liquid limits apply when carrying these in your carry-on bags.
Animal Repellants - You can bring chemical repellants in your checked luggage if the volume is less than four ounces and less than 2% active ingredient of either CS or CN. Most bear repellants exceed these limitations. We suggest that you buy these items once you arrive at your destination and leave them behind when your trip is over.
Insecticides – Ant killers, cockroach killers, spider killers, etc., are prohibited from both carry-on and checked baggage.
Camp Stoves – These can go in either your carry-on or checked bag. If you have a liquid-fuel stove, be sure to empty the fuel. There can also be no fumes emitting from the stove. The same goes with propane stoves. Propane tanks are prohibited from both checked and carry-on bags. Empty propane or gas cylinders are allowed in checked or carry-on bags as long as our officers can see inside.
Flare Guns – These are allowed in your checked baggage, but they have to be stored and declaredjust like a firearm. The flares are a no go.
Spear Guns - These can't go in the cabin, but you can check them in the belly of the plane.
Bows and Arrows - These items should be packed in checked luggage. Any sharp objects packed in checked luggage should be sheathed or securely wrapped to prevent injury to baggage handlers and security screeners.
Safety Matches - Permitted in your carry-on luggage one pack per passenger per FAA safety regulations. Strike anywhere matches are not ever permitted.
Lighters are permitted in your carry-on. Torch lighters are still prohibited.
If you're planning on participating and camping out at a renaissance festival this summer, we ask that you kindly not carry your crossbow, battle hammer, or mace through the checkpoint. Believe it or not, we have intercepted items similar to these and many other unusual items.
See you next Tuesday with more travel tips!

Other less than popular colors are lemon and creme. Sometimes the design overcomes the colors, but mostly those awesome designs get lost due to shirt color. Good luck.
I went with Heather Gray because it looked "Army Issued." The Olive was not Olive drab, and was overpowering the shadow. I have since learned about "Heather Gray" and "Comic Sans" (which I did NOT use).
I think I wanted to make a statement that I could make Heather-frickin'-Gray as sexy as chocolate. It was a risky move & It almost worked, if it wasn't for those medling kids and their dog (Rooby-roo!)! Just showin my new skillz-that-killz.
Thank you for the feedback, I wish I could get more so I can improve! I want to win one of these (and I will, you keep watching, I just have to wait my turn).

chumpmagic wrote:I have read it and you have already brought up that point before... Am I suppose to agree now that you have said it more than once?
Sadly, the slogan is for the wikipedia knockoff company/service (not the information). That means it is not a "slogan for an everyday product;" It is a slogan for an everyday service...
Well, I am done. I know... I am not as fun as the others, but there is no point in arguing with someone that is completely committed. At least I give you the option to have the last word though
Also, I made my first comment shortly after I put a load in the wash Weird, no?
I'm sorry, but it seemed like I had to repeat myself since you completely ignored what I'd said before. I don't think that repetition will just make you agree with me, but you were bringing up an old issue which led me to believe that you had not read any of the past discussion.
How can you be sure that it is advertizing Wikipedia? From my perspective, the shirt is advertizing the information as the product being received.
Looks like it might get quiet in here since you seem like you won't respond...
I am so sad this is not in the fog....I hope this gets a 2nd chance down the road somewhere, I would have bought several of these.
Great shirt !!!!
Nice design, unambiguous message. Good luck.
However... has anyone else noticed that the people who don't seem to be able to tell the difference visually between a raisin cookie and a chocolate chip cookie are all raisin haters? I suggest their lowered mental skills in this area are due to the lack of raisins in their diet.

However... has anyone else noticed that the people who don't seem to be able to tell the difference visually between a raisin cookie and a chocolate chip cookie are all raisin haters? I suggest their lowered mental skills in this area are due to the lack of raisins in their diet.
Many years ago I worked in an office that had a candy dish on the receptionist's desk. The dish was emptied several times a day by the employees, at which point it would be refilled with a random selection from many types of candy. One day I grabbed a handful of Skittles and dropped them into my shirt pocket, then went on about my day. Every few minutes I'd toss a Skittle into my mouth without thinking much about it. Eventually I hit one that was so foul that I almost spit it out in front of my coworkers. Turns out it was a stray M&M that was left in the dish from earlier in the day, and it was stealthily hiding amongst the Skittles. I actually like M&M's, but when you're expecting a Skittle and you get chocolate, it's revolting. (The totally wrong texture didn't help, either...instead of a waxy, hard-to-chew substance, the M&M cracked like an egg and flooded my mouth with creamy chocolate.)
Which brings me to my point: When you think you're putting one thing into your mouth and you get something else, it's a huge shock. You don't know what it is that you just ate, because your brain is focused on tasting one thing and then it gets something else. Yuck! And the more times you've expected chocolate and gotten raisins, the larger the aversion you would have to raisins. No wonder these people are protesting for raisins to be outlawed!
However, I do have to wonder why these raisin-haters can't distinguish the difference between a raisin and a chocolate chip. I may have been fooled by a stray M&M in a bowl of Skittles (though to be fair I never even really looked at what I was munching on), but I've never once been suckered into eating a raisin cookie thinking that it was a chocolate chip cookie; chocolate chips just do not look like raisins. Especially after having been burned countless times, apparently (as is evidenced by their rabid revulsion to raisin cookies), shouldn't some sort of self-preservation system in the brain kick in when they see a chocolate chip cookie? Shouldn't there be some intense scrutiny before they take a bite?
My theory is that these people are amongst the most extreme of chocoholics, and that their intense cacao addiction sends their brain into such a tizzy at the sight of a bespeckled cookie that it simply can't process any further visual input. While the rest of us can glance at the cookie and easily determine the not-so-secret ingredient, their sudden euphoria at scoring a fix prevents them from doing so. 0.3 seconds later, the cookie has entered their mouth...and what happens next isn't very pretty.
Of course, it's just a working theory; I haven't actually acquired the funding to conduct a double-blind study yet. Nor have I figured out how to lure this group of people into said study. I'm afraid that mentioning the word "raisin" would be a deal-breaker, and I'm worried about the ethics of not mentioning the word. I'm also quite worried about my safety.
In any case, here's hoping that this shirt will print so that these poor afflicted individuals can buy one. Perhaps seeing the slogan often enough will reprogram their synaptic responses just enough that they can avoid these unfortunate incidents. Or maybe the design will educate those around them of their plight, so that they might take pity and let them know that "hey, those are raisins." Of course, it might also lead to people putting out plates of raisin cookies in a twisted effort to get some great video for YouTube. After all, some people are just sociopaths.
MachineAmbition wrote:So how does this slogan promote the product?
I think that you either like raisins or you don't. "Raisins Ruin Everything" isn't going to change your mind, but it will sure get people talking about raisins. (Just look at this thread for proof.) There's no such thing as bad publicity, they say.
Would the Raisin Council (there must be one, right?) ever use this slogan? No...they don't have the guts. However, I think it would be a great slogan for that type of a product. Most people would laugh out loud when they saw it, and then they'd be thinking about raisins. Perhaps they could alternate it with a positive slogan in an advertising campaign, so you never knew which slogan they were going to use until the end of the commercial. I like it.
Alternatively, who says that this is the slogan for raisins? Maybe it's the slogan for chocolate chips! Of course, I'm sure that the Raisin Anti-Defamation Council would have some things to say about that.

Hello to everyone on the forum!
Just a question that's been bugging me today. I was observed earlier, and my feedback was all good, apart from that relating to 'atmosphere'.
I teach adults in Shanghai, often in very small classes of 1 to 4 students, in addition to a few larger classes. I have two and a half years experience now, but most of my previous experience was teaching children.
Anyway... I was observed teaching just one other student today, and afterwards the observer said I came across as a little cold and too much like 'an Oxford professor'. This is the third time I've had feedback criticising the atmosphere in these small classes. Another time a teacher said I needed to treat students more as customers and not students, but I find it quite hard to get my head around that one. I tried really hard to engage with the student, laugh, smile, make eye contact, and ask interested questions about their life, but they still seemed quite nervous throughout the whole lesson, something I've noticed about a few of my students.
I really would welcome some ideas about where I might be going wrong, and what I can do to improve the atmosphere in the class. I wonder whether this might be a hangover from teaching kids, a cultural issue (I'm the only British teacher in the school) or an age issue (I'm 24 and most of my students are older). Or something else?
Any help would be most appreciated!

It's been a dry winter in the Sierra Nevada Mountains and that must mean that Mother Nature must be telling us something. She's telling us to go sustainable or no more snow. Maybe that's an exaggeration but some resorts have begun to get the message. Some resorts (like Northstar) have built new projects with LEED certification standards.
We got a chance to check out Northstar's newly opened Zephyr Lodge. The warmly designed building is shooting for LEED certification which takes a snowshoe step in the right direction.
We couldn't help but notice the wood paneled interior and exterior which not only gives the lodge a cozy feeling but it does so in a sustainable way using reclaimed barn wood and tin from Montana.
The interior receives a notable amount of natural light from the large window wall that faces the mountains. To us, that design is a no brainer with a great view and tons of natural light.
Speaking of light, the lodge also offers high tech programming in the building so that lights only turn on when a lack of ambient light exists.
The bathrooms offer the ubiquitous low flow toilets and we love the high powered hand dryers. We just have to question why they have paper towel dispensers next to the hand dryers.
We sampled some of the tasty cuisine which supposedly offers a significant amount of either organic or locally sourced ingredients. We haven't verified the menu ingredients yet. Stick around as we post more about the sustainable slopes in the Lake Tahoe region.

Introducing Black Forest Industries' latest release for the VW community, the new PEM or Performance Enhancement Module. Developed with C2 Motorsports exclusively to Black Forest Industries specifications for the ABA, the PEM is programmed, stocked and shipped in-house from BFI. The PEM is a collaborative success between two of the leading aftermarket names in the industry.
The PEM is designed specifically to not only increase power and throttle response, but to also smooth out the power as it is delivered throughout the RPM range. Additionally , the PEM does not require a secondary oxygen sensor reading for mapping, nor is it affected by secondary air injection.
Carefully mapped adjustments to the fueling and timing allow the most to be extracted from VW's bulletproof powerplant. All tuning was dyno-tested to ensure real world increases in performance and power. This file is tuned on 93 octane, however the ECU will pull enough timing if you had to run 91 or even 89.
Available for both ABA and VR6 OBD2 motors in Stg1. Camshaft specific Stg2 files are also available for both motors as well.

In case you're wondering, the reason for the post is that there are no gunstores here who have pistol ranges on the premises, and neither are there any ranges where you can rent out different pistols in order to try them out.
This means that if you're in the market for a new pistol and don't know anyone who has one that you can try, you are pretty much limited to handling and dry firing at the store before you purchase.
Since the prices here in Denmark are quite a bit higher than in the US, buying a gun that doesn't suit could be an expensive mistake.

Dennis Rasmussen: Distinguished Student
POCATELLO, Idaho - I especially enjoyed getting to know this week's United Dairymen of Idaho Distinguished Student Award winner. That's because he's also a journalist. In fact, Dennis Rasmussen of Century High School is a statewide award winning journalist.
Dennis is right at home at his computer in the journalism lab. He took a class in journalism as a sophomore and was hooked.
"News writing is what really struck to the core for me - I have the facts laid our for me and I can go out and get the opinions of people," Dennis said.
Dennis admits his journalism skills were a bit rough at first, but he was passionate and got better and better until he recently won best of show for writing in a state wide high school newspaper contest. It's still a thrill for Dennis to see his byline in print.
"When I see my name on the byline it feels like a challenge got completed, fulfilling my dream," Dennis said.
Dennis has really come out his shell in high school mainly because he started making friends simply by joining clubs.
"I'd say the best way to do it is to join clubs," Dennis said. "The first club I joined was the Star Wars Club when I came into high school and I made a couple of friends there. Then I joined BPA and met some people there and was able to learn about what they wanted."
In fact, Dennis says the thing he's enjoyed most about high school has been friends.
"Friends will make high school bearable, and they'll help you with your homework, if you need it, they'll help you with whatever you need and encourage you to be a better person," Dennis said.

My friend had a DB380 that didn't work....then it broke, then it failed to eject, then it broke again then it didn't work. It did make a couple trips to Florida and back. The positive side is it looked cool and it hid very nicely. He named it "That Freakin POS mistake".
He no longer has it and I am not sure were it went, I don't ask about it anymore, he fails to see the humor. The DB9 might be a better weapon, I am not sure. There are too many good little 9's out there for me to consider this one but I have a pretty biased point of view from hearing my buuddy cuss Diamondback out for a few months last winter.
I am sure there are some out there who have had good experiances with DB and proabably with the 9. Sorry for not really answering your specific question, I just don't want to see anyone else name their weapon similarily.

BROOKLYN HEIGHTS, N.Y. – The St. Francis Brooklyn Terriers shot 45 percent from the field and held the Canisius Golden Griffins to just 19 second-half points en route to a 67-51 win in the Pope PE Center in Brooklyn Heights, N.Y. Saturday afternoon. The win ended the Terriers' two-game losing streak and improved the team to 6-5 on the year while the Blue and Gold saw their three-game winning streak come to an end with the loss. Canisius is now 6-4 in 2013-14.
St. Francis guard Sheldon Hagigal scored a game-high 15 points in the win for the Terriers, with nine of those points coming in the game's final 20 minutes. Forward Amdy Fall came off the bench and scored 11 points in the win, while junior forward Jalen Cannon had eight points and 10 rebounds. For the game, St. Francis out rebounded Canisius by a 39-28 clip and the Terriers were able to convert 17 Canisius turnovers into 13 points.
"This has been a long, emotional week for us with three games and final exams, but that's no excuse for the effort today," Canisius head coach Jim Baron said. "Give St. Francis credit. They just wanted it more than us. They played very physical, got on the floor for loose balls and made us turn it over. We have to keep working to get better. We need to be more physical when we are challenged and we need to make plays when we have the chance."
Canisius senior Billy Baron scored 11 points in the loss for Canisius to go with six rebounds and four assists. Senior Chris Manhertz posted nine points and five rebounds, while fellow senior Jordan Heath chipped in eight points and five boards. For the game, the Griffs shot 34.7 percent from the field and 15.4 percent from 3-point land, making two of 13 shots from behind the arc.
The Griffs trailed at halftime by the score of 35-32, but came out in the second half and scored the game's first six points to take a 38-35 lead with 15:23 left after Jordan Heath slammed home a missed shot by Baron. After a St. Francis timeout, the Terriers answered with an offensive rebound and put back by Hagigal. That basket not only ended a scoreless stretch for St. Francis that covered 6:30 of game action, but it also started a 15-2 scoring run for the Terriers that covered the span of 4:48 and put the home team up 50-40 with 9:53 left to play. Baron ended Canisius' scoring drought with a lay-up moments later to make it an eight-point game at 50-42, but the Terriers kept on rolling and ended up stretching their lead to as many as 19 points with 2:02 left to play on a traditional 3-point play by Hagigal.
The 19 points scored in the second half are the fewest in a 20 minute session this season for the Griffs, and the Blue and Gold's 51 points matched the lowest scoring out put of the season. St. Francis ended the game with 48 points in the paint and 32 points from bench players.
Canisius will return to action Monday, Dec. 16, when the Griffs travel to play at Holy Cross. Game time in Worcester, Mass., is set for 7 p.m.Game Notes: This marked the 11th all-time meeting between the two schools in a series that began during the 1948-49 season... Canisius leads the all-time series 6-5, but fell to 2-3 all-time on the road against the Terriers... Canisius also scored just 51 points in its loss at Rutgers Nov. 18... Baron has been Canisius' leading scorer in eight of 10 games this season, and his 11 points gives him double figures in the scoring column 51 times in his career... At halftime, St. Francis honored members of its 1963 NIT team. Canisius also participated in the 1963 NIT and lost in the championship game to Providence.

David and Emma Nankervis
Wattle Grove, Wooragee (near Beechworth), Victoria
David and Emma Nankervis run the family dairy farm Wattle Grove with David's parents Barry and Pam. The farm has been in the family for over five generations and was initially bought in 1918. Milking 160 Jersey cows, the farm is one of the smallest commercial dairy farms in the area. The Nankervis's are renowned for being 'stubborn buggers' − David's grandfather died just last year at the wonderful age of 103, a testament to the longevity of this family farm and its partnerships.
David explained in depth his understanding of family farming partnerships and the importance of constructive conflict between the partners for the business to prosper.
One of their principle survival techniques as a farm business is to be very efficient and do all of their own work. David and Barry do any building that is often needed with a farm of this size. They maintain all of their machinery and are highly skilled in mechanical work. They maintain all of the complexities within their milking parlour, carry out routine veterinary work and artificially inseminate all of their cows.
Both David and Barry share the milking which lasts for about ten months of the year, allowing each other to holiday away from the farm. Emma, David's wife, a qualified nurse, works as a waitress in Beechworth at nights. The hours of nursing do not fit in with the farm working hours and by working at nights David can then look after their three children, Riley, Darcy and William.
Audio and transcript
Listen to David and Emma's story (MP3 file 673kb)
Duration: 1 minute, 25 seconds
David: This property we've had for five generations, it was bought in 1918. So this actual property, we've been here for a fair while.
We dairy farm 160 cattle on this property and the rest is all beef cattle, but as far as dairy farming goes now, well 160 cows, we're one of the smallest left. It's an industry where people are being asked to milk more cows, and [have] more production everyday. So in a guess that squeeze continually squeezes a lot of dairy farmers out of the game. So it is hard.
Emma: It's hard, like I find it hard to fit in anything with the farm because of the hours David does and with the kids, that's really hard to fit the kids in with work and the farm. Yeah, but I mean in a sense now, they've gotten a bit older, it's a lot easier because they will go with David to milk the cows and things like that, so...
David: Some machinery work.
Emma: Yeah, you know they can be poking around in some things that we do.
David: The biggest thing is that they don't get hurt you know. We're very aware that there is still one Australian kid killed on a farm every week. So between the two of us we try and be very careful if we've got machinery and trucks and all this sort of stuff happening, keep an eye on the little kids, because they're four and they're two and they do like to get up and amongst it. So between me and Emma we're very aware of it.

Re: What do with this team. Draft a QB? Troy Smith? Fire Billick? hmmmm
Boller had more than enough time in many many plays. When he managed to throw the ball, it was a perfect strike... right into the numbers of a defender. That Monday night game against the Pats, he looked like a fucking superstar. Last night, he looked like shit. It was his game to lose, and he lost it.I'm normally not a praying man, but if you're up there, please save me Superman!
Re: What do with this team. Draft a QB? Troy Smith? Fire Billick? hmmmmKeep the excuses coming...
Hes a bust. Plain and simple.
Troy is the way to go for the rest of the season and possibly into next season, depending on what happens with Mcnair and his contract.WOW! I feel so fortunate that the Ravens did what they had to do to make this happen. Thank you. My Heart is with the Raven....My Heart is with Baltimore and its great fans. What can I say. Here We Go!!! --Ray Lewis
No, Thank you Ray... :ww:
Re: What do with this team. Draft a QB? Troy Smith? Fire Billick? hmmmm
I would not overpay T. Suggs. I would try to resign him, but definitely not overpay. The Ravens are on the verge of cap hell. They really overpaid Steve McNair, and unless some of the players retire or restructure their contracts, you will see some drastic changes next year. Regardless who we draft, the Ravens will be drafting high. There will be a huge salary there and we have a lot of aged players who are making big money.
T. Suggs had a great year last year because of Trevor Price and A.D. Without either one of them, he is unable to get to the QB or make other big plays.
The Ravens have so many holes to fill and a limited budget.
I would like the Ravens to hire the OC from Dallas as their next head coach, but I have a feeling that Wade Phillips will be retiring soon and they will promote him next.
Re: What do with this team. Draft a QB? Troy Smith? Fire Billick? hmmmm
Clayton to his defense has been hurt this year. But he's not a #1 receiver on any team. He can't stretch the defense and hasn't really gotten much seperation from defenders.
Of course, he's not being sent deep either, so it's not all his fault either.
Having 3 #2 receivers is ok. But most good teams have a #1 guy that you know you can get a 40-50 TD out of once or twice a game.
Re: What do with this team. Draft a QB? Troy Smith? Fire Billick? hmmmm
The season as been a dismal failure, it's time to see what we have to go forward with. Boller isn't capable of bringing this team success. This seems to be a good spot for Shannon's quote.
I've got a better chance of winning the Kentucky Derby on the back of a donkey than they have of winning the Super Bowl with Kyle Boller.

Re: What do with this team. Draft a QB? Troy Smith? Fire Billick? hmmmm
Boller WILL be our starting QB next year, even if we draft Matt Ryan!! I'm 99% sure of it....unless he gets hurt. The real question is what they're going to do with Smith. Are they going to give him more playing time this year? I'd like to see him against a 1st-string defense. I know he's short, but he has decent mobility and has a strong arm....I guess we'll all find out.
I'd like to see them get Chris Long or CB Terrell Thomas. These guys would have an immediate impact on our defense, especially Long. When we get constant pressure on the opposing QB, it makes the rest of the D that much better. If we were to get these guys in the first, then I'd have no problem getting Dennis Dixon in the late rounds.....

Re: What do with this team. Draft a QB? Troy Smith? Fire Billick? hmmmm
To clarify this thread, i.e. to respond to people like Losac, I am NOT apologizing for Boller's sorry performance last night.
I am past that. What I am saying is that there is not consistent pass protection. What I saw from Troy Smith is that he made some plays outside the pocket that I liked, but again, protection was 3 seconds at best.
So I'm not sure if we'll even see a QB do well in this system and with this limited pass protection.

Re: What do with this team. Draft a QB? Troy Smith? Fire Billick? hmmmm
Our big needs are CB, DL, and QB.
OL, I think it's just going to take time...You've got Jason Brown, who is really starting to gel as our LG. Mike Flynn, it's time to hit some bench buddy...although we need Chester to setup up and be the C we need him to be first. Grubbs, we might want to let him have another year in rotation before starting him, but he's been progessing well. You've got Yanda on the right side, we should keep him there, he's lights out compared to Terry. LT, you've got Terry and Gaither...let them go at it...I think Gaither supplants him next year, if not Opening Day, at midway through the season. Right there, that's a young OL with lots of promise...you're going to get beat now and again, but I can't see any weak spots there, as far as bad players...
CB, I think Rolle and CMac are just hitting their undependable age. Originally, I saw Rolle as a possible retirement, but it appears like he will come back. That said, I want to see a CB who can push him in training camp. Rolle would be wonderful as a nickel back. So I think we look for CB in round 1, unless there is a monster QB sitting there, loving the Ravens.
DL, I think we need help at DE...BAD. Suggs is likely gone, unless he manages to lower his expectations. I still love Pryce, but our depth was definitley exposed there. We have no decent backup who can put the pressure on the OL...Scratch that, other than Pryce we have NO DE who can pressure the OL. We at least have a few things helping us, as we're a hybrid 4-3 3-4, so we could look at OLBs and either have them convert to DE or bring JJ back to DE. Also, maybe someone like Antwan Barnes could fill that role.
QB...When Boller is playing lights out, I love this guy. But to be honest, he can't play a consistent 2-3 game run to save his life. The reason we loved Boller again, was he didn't have the opportunities to go out and remind us that he can't play a full season at the same level. I really wish the kid the best, but I believe we've seen enough. I'd start him next year, because I don't want to throw a rookie or Troy Smith out there to get ruined, but I don't think we should make any bones about it, the kid is on his way out of here in another year. As for Troy Smith, it's going to be hard to tell if he's the real deal or not until this team really starts to come together. I say if you see a QB sitting in a nice spot, take him anyway...I'd rather have a Cleveland situation, where you've got two good QBs, than have several mediocre QBs.
We're pretty set at RB and LB and ST. I agree with the explosive factor at WR/TE, but I think Clayton, D Wil, and Heap will bring that next year when they're healthier...and DVD has earned a chance to come back to Baltimore and pickup on this play.
Billick can stay, so long as he gives up the reigns on offense and lets someone come in who will do it up right. I think Neuheisel would've been great here, but he was a puppethead, and that's why he's trying desperately to get out while he still can. Bring in an imaginative college coach, or a very good, seasoned position coach and let them design our new offense.
Re: What do with this team. Draft a QB? Troy Smith? Fire Billick? hmmmm
Exiled is spot on... I like all fo those prosects, though I'm not so high on Jenkins, I'd rather a guy that is more physical and used to man up style at corner... coincidentally Mike Jenkins may be that guy. I think where we pick in the first will be too high to spend on any of these corners though. To me, our first should be used on a QB if still necessary, or a DE or traded back.

Re: What do with this team. Draft a QB? Troy Smith? Fire Billick? hmmmm
I would say DE is our biggest need.
I am severely dissapointed with Suggs. He just doesn't use his hands well to disengage from the blocker, and has no moves. Its just sad watching him do the same bull rush and get owned the same way almost every play.
As for QB, I liked what I say from Troy Smith, but because we have shit for pass protection, we didn't get to see anything from him WITHIN THE POCKET, which is what teams feared with him. He's short so his ability to see downfield from insid the pocket is worrisome.
And so again, I hope we draft a real center or let Jason Brown be center and draft another guard.
I also agree that Troy Smith needs to see increased time this year.
Re: What do with this team. Draft a QB? Troy Smith? Fire Billick? hmmmm
Someone said next year is rebuilding, and i somewhat agreed. With the cap, and the money we will be eating next year. I can see that happening. Firing Brian is the easiest thing to do. But will we eat that contract too. I like suggs, so yes don't overpay but offer something to equal the down season he's having.
I really don't know, how to fix the ravens. Just hope maybe TROY works out and rebuild the aging D in the draft. Maybe a QB first, but can we really afford that with the cap next year. That's a lot of money for top 5 picks. Just a thought.
Roughly thinking, yes i think somethimes,LOL, Steve and J.O. retire. Eat the dead money for 08. Ray last season,or take a big paycut. Cmac and a draft pick starts next year with Rolle as the 3rd. The o line will hopefully gel next year and Kyle will start half and TROY will finish.
I don't know but 08 is really lokking like a bye year for us. But i'm on the ship anyway. And always will be. Unless we lose to the fins this week, i'm jumping overboard and meet the ship at the bottom.

Re: What do with this team. Draft a QB? Troy Smith? Fire Billick? hmmmm
Thanks for the props Jonboy. I've just not seen enough of the CBs there to get a real read. I've seen Jenkins and Cason, but not Mike Jenkins. I'll see if I can find some stuff on a video site to have a better clue.Just win baby...

Young adult debt decreases during Great Recession
Adults younger than 35 reduced their debt by 29 percent
UC SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - If you're a young adult, chances are you have less debt now than you did at the start of the Great Recession.
Eighteen to 35-year-olds are swiping their credit cards less and putting more money in the bank, making them more fiscally responsible than before the economic crisis hit.
The drop in debt didn't happen overnight but it is impressive. From 2007 to 2010, adults younger than 35 who are the head of a household, reduced their debt by 29 percent, which is about $6,500, according to a Pew Research study.
UCSB junior Izabella Ferayan used to have three credit cards.
"I cut up one of my credit cards, paid that one fully off. So, I'm down to two now, so hopefully that becomes one by summertime," she said.
The drop in personal debt isn't just from using less plastic. Fewer people are buying cars and houses that carry hefty monthly payments.
Aidan Hopkins, 30, has a relatively new car but it is paid off and he's putting money in the bank.
"You don't really know what the future's going to hold. I feel pretty comfortable with my job but I could lose that too, so it's probably good to have money saved up just in case," said Hopkins.
One thing that did increase is student loans.
In 2007, 34 percent of young households had student debt. That jumped to 40 percent in 2010, but that's not worrying some undergraduates.
"I haven't heard too much trouble with trying to pay off student loans because they just have such good plans for that and everything, and they really work with you and your income," said UCSB senior Sara O'Brien.
And more young adults are waiting to get married until they are debt-free.
"I'd be a little more hesitant to rush into marriage. I'd want to solidify where I was standing financially before I stepped into that," said UCSB freshman Chris Keane.
With a plan like that, he won't have to wait long.

I notice that it accepts some, but not all Mathematica syntax. For
example, Integrate and D commands seem to be accepted, but something
like FullForm[{a,b,c}] was not.

Architects have specified decorative concrete as centerpieces in many tranquil and calming settings. With this in mind, a new form of decorative concrete is now providing comfort to families of those who die. Searching for ways to meet their customers' needs, concrete burial vault producers have expanded their offerings to help offer a lasting memory at graveside.
Some experts suggest it was Clint Mytych who championed the way the funeral industry is approaching the healing process. He's not bringing a spiritual message to thousands of followers. Rather, he has introduced to grieving the concept of personalization through imagery.
Mytych and his two partners have started a company that provides licensed image caskets and urns. Eternal Image, of Farmington Hills, Mich., is the first and only manufacturer and marketer of licensed brand image funeral products. Their first products, introduced last year, were urns featuring images from The Vatican Library Collection. Earlier this year, they began to offer images from a selection of Major League Baseball teams.
Other products in development include a series of images from the Precious Moments brand for urns and caskets and personalized pet urns featuring images from the American Kennel Club and the Cat Fanciers' Association.
While concrete burial vault producers have always offered highly decorative options to the gray box, personalization is rapidly becoming one of the vault producer's fastest growing market initiatives. Mourners now are comforted with photos, medallions, and inlaid colorings on vaults and lids.
Dealers of the Wilbert brand, reported to be the vault industry's largest group of franchisees, have taken memorializing to a new level. They offer their clients two distinct ways to help with their loss.
They feature the Wilbert Honor Collection and the Eternal Celebration of Life Series lithographs, commemorating those who serve their family, country, or community. The series, featuring portraits by acclaimed artist Ray Simon, is designed to create an enduring tribute to a family's loved one.
Wilbert's Personalization Plus program allows families to personalize a burial vault with a specially chosen image that celebrates their loved one's life. The image is framed and applied to the vault cover for a dignified display at the graveside service.
Wilbert Legacy Custom Series Prints offer families the ultimate in capturing and displaying the essence of their loved one.
Photographs are chosen by the family to create a one-of-a-kind collage. The unique, totally personalized image is then applied to the cover of the vault.
Vault manufacturers that offer the Tirgard system now offer their customers the opportunity to adorn their vaults with an image found in a library of high-quality Aegean appliqués. The appliqué is placed on the top carapace of the vault.
Producers can also offer a personalized topside appliqué a client can choose from a number of stock scenes, personalized photographs, names, or dates. Families can personalize a vault by opting for either a sports, landscape, hobby, military, or religious scene.
Doric licensees also offer the opportunity to help create a setting where the image of the casket and burial vault at the cemetery can be a lasting and comforting experience. Through the Doric "Our Choice" Carapace Personalization program, the vault can make a very personal statement.
Doric manufacturers can personalize a burial vault with images from a wide range of personal topics. These include a Defenders of Democracy patriot, feminine, masculine, and religious symbols, professions, signs of natures, and fraternal organizations.

For beginners of our sport it's not quite easy to decide which size will fit for your feet. Here we will show how to choose the correct size based on your real foot length.
First of all you should measure your feet:
Therefore put on some socks you would also wear while skating. Then press your heel against the a wall (as shown on the picure below) and take the length to your longest toe. Note the length in millimeter.
When you have chosen a roller skate and opened the product page you'll find a sizing chart on the right hand side and below the product picture under "availability/prices".
Example! This is how the sizing chart can look like:
There you can see the "length" in millimeter. This length refers to your measured foot length. Please don't pay attention on the EU, US or UK sizes. Due to different fits of shoes and roller skates it's quite difficult to choose the correct size with these information.
IMPORTANT: The exact fit of the roller skates also depends on your individual foot structure.
So if you have a normal foot structure, neither very narrow nor very wide, you can go for the exact measured foot length.
But if you have a very wide foot structure you should take one size bigger.
Example: Your measured foot length is exactly 251mm and your foot structure is normal, you should go for S 7.0 on the sizing chart shown above. Because if you are between two sizes you should go for the next bigger size. With very wide wide feet we recommend taking the next size what would be S 7.5 in this case.
These recommendations are made to find the tight but comfortable fit for your roller skates. Since roller skates are sport equipment the correct fit is very important. Please note that due to the huge amount of different foot structures and skate types there will be no guarantee for the perfect fit. But our recommendations refer to our experiences and the experiences of our customers.
If you still have questions or feel unsafe deciding what the correct size should be don't hesitate to contact us: firstname.lastname@example.com

Just wanted to pop up and say Hi!
This is an awesome place. There are so many helpful individuals here, that I am very appreciative of the help they have been giving me in getting my jango things together. If I ever see any of you in person, I owe you a drink!
So far I have the helm, gauntlets, jumpsuit, and knees. I will be getting the holster rig and ammo belt in the near future.
I will try to figure out how to get some pics posted of my progress.
Thanks again for allowing me here and for the help.


text: I have painted part of my armour but the colour is all wrong. Can anyone give me some colour refs for the green and yellow. When I talked with Bobamaker at the NEC I came away with Tamiya Field Grey but I think I have got that wrong, it looks grey (fancy that) and I cant find a field green.

Well folks, I can finally say with some authority that I have officially started this Jodo Kast project. For those of you who have read Scar's Jodo build, my story is going to be very similar. I had acquired some Fett parts with the intentions of completing a ROTJ build. BUT, after seeing Scar's build and having a taste for odd things I decided to go the Jodo route. To be honest, I have only "built" 1 costume (a custom mando) and the others I have just put together, so I am going to see if I still remember how to do this :p.
So here is a basic picture of the armor and things that I HAD.
Attachment 70790
The soft part ended up being too large for my liking, and since I didnt want to ruin the Boba paint job I eventually just used this whole suit for reference points.
To start off, this is what my costume will be based off of.
Attachment 70789
Attachment 70788
It is a dentless GMH helmet I had purchased from JodoKast89 (Thanks Dakota!) and is what my whole costume is based around.
Seeing as I didn't want to repaint over the Boba paint scheme for the armor and fill in the dents, I decided I was going to make my own based off of the WOF templates and my set of Cruzer Jango armor. I wanted to use something sturdy, and I have had absolutely idea how to lay fiberglass out so I grabbed some old PVC pipe that was laying around my house and began to cut away with a my dremel tool.
This picture is the Boba armor
Attachment 70786
And this is the rough cut of the front plates.
Attachment 70787
luckily I just happen to be the size of my half mannequin that I own, so I was able to shape the pieces without having to figure out how I was going to do that by myself...
Obviously I am just tipping the iceberg here, but there will be more to come, so stay tuned!
PS, to any of the resident Jodo experts, is there a better alternative to the chest decal and shoulder bell decal than hand painting them? I haven't checked locally to see if I can get them printed but I was curious what you guys had done for your builds.

Cedar City • There was never any doubt.
Gunnison senior Colby Caldwell was on his favorite part of the floor and read the zone defense like a good quarterback would. He took one dribble, created the necessary space and launched from far behind the arc.
There was never any doubt.
The ball fell into the hoop, kissing nothing but the cream-colored twine at the Centrum Arena as the horn sounded.
Colby Caldwell sent his Bulldogs to the state championship game in cinematic fashion with a heart-stopping 49-46 win over Emery in the 2A boys' state semifinals.
"We're going down with him shooting," Gunnison coach Ben Hill said. "It was no doubt at all."
No argument.
The Bulldogs' leading scorer and silent leader had struggled with the feisty Spartans' zone defense throughout the evening. In the first quarter, he air-balled a 3-pointer. On two other long-range attempts, his release was noticeably off and he wrestled with himself getting back on defense.
But as the game wore on, Caldwell, who scored a game-high 15 points, started to find his groove.
And when it mattered most, a great player rose to a monumental platform.
"It's not the first time he's done something like this," senior forward Lafe Christenson said. "He's our best player by far."
The Bulldogs had the ball with 36 seconds remaining in the game and had a chance to see what kind of defense Emery would implore. The Spartans played into the hands of Hill's gameplan the offensive setup was so good that Hill originally had planned on calling a timeout with 10 seconds left to set up another play.
He didn't need to.
Caldwell dished the ball off a few times before eventually getting it back with 6 seconds remaining. He created that space and stepped to his left, his feet lifting off the ground.
His follow-through was immaculate. The momentum from his shot carried him into the center of midcourt where he immediately was mobbed by a stampede of teammates.
The moment was his.
"I was just hoping it was going to go in," he said, shaking his head. "They gave me an open look it went in."
Hill could do nothing but smile when asked to describe his star player afterward, the kid who sent the Bulldogs to their first state championship game since 1999.
"Colby is our quiet leader," he said. "He doesn't talk."
With time fading away into the February night, Caldwell's unforgettable shot did all the talking necessary.

text: Getting ready to ride again this year, and a damper is pretty strong on my mind. Been looking at different ones, and was wondering if there was a big difference from each manufacturer? There looks like two distinctive types, the Ohlins looking like just a Hydraulic bar, and GPR/Scotts look like an 'head' unit on top of the triple. Is either type better than the other? They're all within $50 of each other, I just don't know the pros/cons.

Location: Environmental Microbial & Food Safety LaboratoryTitle: Temporal stability of soil water content as affected by climate: a simulation study Author
|Martinez, Gonzalo
|Pachepsky, Yakov
|Vereecken, Harry
Submitted to: Hydrological Processes
Publication Type: Peer Reviewed Journal
Publication Acceptance Date: 2/4/2013
Publication Date: 2/27/2013
Citation: Martinez, G., Pachepsky, Y.A., Vereecken, H. 2013. Temporal stability of soil water content as affected by climate: a simulation study. Hydrological Processes. DOI: 10.1002/hyp9737. Interpretive Summary: When soil water contents are measured across field or watersheds, certain locations have consistently higher or lower soil water contents than the average for the sampling area. When each location persistently deviates from the average by some percentage, the soil water content distribution is called temporally stable. What controls the persistency of those deviations is currently unknown. We undertook a simulation study in which type of soil, type of climate, and the sampling frequency were inputs into a soil water flow model. We found that the robustness of the temporal persistence depends on the interplay of the type of soil and type of climate, and also on the duration of the sampling period. Results of this work can guide the evaluation of a site-specific soil water sampling regimens. It will be useful to multiple groups of specialists who use the temporal persistence to up- and down-scale soil water contents in remote sensing, to infill missing data, to delineate field management zones, to improve hydrologic modeling results, to design adequate treatment experiments with replicated plots and to design sensor networks and optimize the number of sensors.
Technical Abstract: Temporal stability of soil water content (TS SWC) is a natural phenomenon that recently attracts attention and finds multiple applications. Weather and climate are usually mentioned as a factor of TS SWC, but its effect is far from clear. The objective of this work was to use soil water modeling to assess the effect of climate on the TS SWC. We selected four representative climates present in USA and simulated the multiyear soil SWC for sandy loam and loam soils, both having the lognormal spatial distribution of the saturated hydraulic conductivity. The CLIMGEN code was used to generate climate-specific weather patterns, and HYDRUS6 code was used to simulate SWC. Four different methods were applied to select the representative location (RL). High rejection probabilities were found for the hypothesis that the four climates cause the same variability of mean relative differences (MRD) of SWC. The probability that the variance in MRD depended on sampling frequency was always higher than 89% in the sandy loam soil and was above 97% in the loamy soil. Lower probabilities were observed for the robustness of the MRD. The inter-annual difference in MRD variation from short and intensive summer campaigns was highly probable for all climates. There were more coincidences in the RL selected for the sandy loam soil than for the loamy soil. Among the methods used for selection of RL, those that are based on a minimum difference with MRD of zero showed more consistency than others. The TS appears to be the result of the interplay between climate, soil properties, and survey protocols. One implication of this factor interaction effect on TS SWC is that a simulation study can be useful to decide on the feasibility of including a search for the representative location based on TS for a specific site.

hey kids,
Whats the best way to paint your armor? I'm getting a fiberglass kit in a couple of days and I want to know what's better? Plain old Spray Paint or an Air-brush system? Thanks.
I just found out the kit is unfinished. What do I have to do before I apply the first coat of paint?
Not to sound like a jerk, but have you used the "search" feature?
Alright, I spent the past 2 hours doing research on this. I'm going to home depot in a couple of hours to get the following supplies:
Main Coat
Rustoleum Aluminum
Rustoleum Spruce green
Rust colored primer
Trimming and Sanding
Sandpaper (5-600)
Dremel power tool with a fiberglass cutting wheel. A couple of grinding bits
Have I left anything out? Also, does anyone know if acrylic paint would be alright for the smaller details? (blaster scuffs etc) I appreciate any help.
I would suggest taking a look at some people's armor progress threads to see how they completed a set of armor. Reason I say that is because there are quite a few threads like that on here.
American Accents by Res-Oleum "Claret Wine" #7945 for the mandibles, Flat grey primer for the base as well as minor weathering. The Rust-Oleum "Spruce Green" I was only able to find at OSH. The other colors painted by hand(blasts, dents, scratches, ect.) check out TDH member AFettFullofDollars color list, he's a GREAT artist:thumbup And oh yeah, don't just jump in head first, take your time and do the research. Most all of your questions have been answered before, painting a bucket is not a fast process, it should be a MINIMUM of 2 weeks to prep and paint. If your doing it in layers with masking fluid that can be more complicated than topical, there are many ways to paint your bucket. Take your time and have fun!

My bad, I thought you said helmet. Armor's easy, as said before "spruce green" and the shoulders and knees use "Equipment Yellow" or "School Bus Yellow" spray paint(they both have that orangeish tint to the color. For the scratches use "Cat Whisker Yellow" or "Zink Chromate" model paint. When weathering Use Brand new cans as the produce a finer mist (flat brn., blk., gry. primer). Spray from a distance, and do this slowly as you don't want to over do it and make your armor too dirty, yes too dirty! Fett is weathered, not homeless. you can give it a blackwash with some black acrylic to tone it down some and seal it with a clear matt finish. Hope this helps

Look at the "Link to MOM pics" in the "helmet" area I just bumped for you. They are invalueable, I would save some of them if I were you. You can use these as a reference.
Wow thanks for the help man, I really appreciate it. Unfortunately Home depot didn't have any cans of spruce green! Can I pick it up anywhere online?
Try Wal-Mart for the Spruce Green...I've also seen it at Hobby-Lobby and I *think* Lowe's...good luck and keep us posted on your progress!
-rocky b
I just found a great website for Spray paint. USAhardware.com. They have a huge selection of spray paint, and plenty of spruce green. Unfortunately The armor kit I received sucks monkey ****. It's riddled with imperfections. So I'm going to cut my losses and use it as practice for my next Kit.Thanks for all the help so far.
Spruce Green can be found at Orchard Supply Hardware. You can also fill the imperfections on your armor with Bondo filler putty.
"Citizen Snipppps!!!!"
Good luck with the painting.
Would leafy green also be a good substitute for Spruce Green? I'm about to use it for the helmet (and maybe the armor) and the color resembles the ESB style.
