Minnesota Twins Top Prospects 1-10
Today the top 10 are revealed with a few surprises along the way:
10. Max Kepler, OF- Another young player in the Twins organization, Kepler is only 17. A product of Europe, Kepler was able to compile a good batting average (.286) with the Rookie League Twins. His power numbers weren't there last year but he is only 17 so he has time to develop into his man muscles.
9. Kyle Waldrop, RHP- Waldrop has been in the Twins system since 2004 when he was drafted in the 1st round. He spent all of last season at the the AAA level and pitched in the Arizona Fall League. That trip to the Fall League was rough for Waldrop but he was still invited to the big league camp at Spring Training. With lots of question marks in the bullpen, Waldrop has a chance to make an appearance with the Twins in 2011.
8. Liam Hendriks, RHP- Hendriks is Australian born and has shown remarkable ability at all of the levels he has pitched at. In 2010 he finished the year at high A ball and he had a minuscule ERA of 1.74 along with a WHIP of 0.837. It will be interesting to see if he can keep his high level as he continues to make his way through the higher levels of the Twins organization.
7. Oswald Arcia, OF- Another teenager in the Twins system that had a promising season in 2010. Arcia played all of 2010 for the Elizabethton Twins. During last season he was able to show that rare ability to hit for average (.375) and power (21 Doubles, 7 Triples, and 14 HR). At 19 years old he will have some time to continue to add more power and increase his skills.
6. Ben Revere, OF- Twins fans were given a glimpse of this former 1st round pick at the end of the 2010 season. He made a few brief appearances with the big league squad as the team wrapped up their Central Division crown. Revere's 2010 minor league season was quite the roller coaster ride and I wrote about that earlier this season. He has shown great ability to hit for average and steal bases at the minor league level. His biggest areas of weakness are his lack of power and his throwing ability. Revere is an injury or two away from getting significant playing time with the Twins in 2011.
5. Alex Wimmers, RHP- The Twins 1st round pick in this past year's draft there is little to go off of for minor league numbers. He is a control pitcher so that means he throws a lot of strikes. That strike-throwing ability is what lead the Twins to draft him. He has three decent pitches (fastball, curve, change-up) that he can throw at any point in the count. Wimmers could rise very fast in the Twins organization this year and has a chance to make it all the way to AAA this year (much like Kyle Gibson did this past season).
4. Joe Benson, OF- The Twins Minor League Player of the Year for the 2010 season will have even more to prove in 2011. As he has entered his 20's his core power numbers have continued to increase. He had a rough start to the 2010 campaign but was able to finish strong and even represented the Twins in the Arizona Fall League. He is an overall great athlete that could fit into the Twins outfield plans as he develops.
3. Aaron Hicks, OF- Last years #1 Twins prospect according to Baseball America saw his stock fall a little in 2010. This fall might have more to do with the high performance of those listed above Hicks than him having a bad season. 2010 saw Hicks in his second year at Beloit. His average and power continue to improve along with good defense. I fully expect Hicks to fit into the Twins outfield of the future but that might be a few seasons away still.
2. Kyle Gibson, RHP- The Twins Minor League Pitcher of the Year for the 2010 season was able to jump from high A ball at the beginning of year all the way to AAA. This has left Twins fans wondering how soon it will be until Gibson makes an appearance with the Twins. He has been invited to Spring Training and will get a chance to prove his worth with the big league squad. To make the team as they head north, Gibson would have to blow the organization out of the water. Barring any key injuries to the pitching staff you can expect to see Gibson in mid-summer for a Target Field debut.
1. Miguel Sano, 3B/SS- As I mentioned in my post yesterday, I love prospects that have the possibility of being a huge star for a long time. Sano just completed his first professional season with the Twins and in that time he was able to put up very good numbers. The thought of what could be for this young player leaves me extremely excited. There will be a few seasons before he will make an impact on the Twins but that still didn't discourage me from putting him #1 on my list. His numbers were there last year but the more important thing is that he has the tools that the Twins can work with to make him into an All-Star.
There is my list of the top prospects in the Minnesota Twins organization.
There can always be a debate about who goes where and why. Leave a comment below to let me know what you think.

I watched one of the Twins coaches working one-on-one with Sano on infield technique during Spring Training last March and the thing that stood out was his physique. He may be a teenager (though who knows, given the issues in Latin America with regard to IDs), but he's already a very strong young man.
Two things make him stand out... first that the Twins were willing to spend so much money to sign him and second that the Twins have very little for potential power bats in their system.
It's risky to rank someone who has so much work to do before contributing to the Twins as your #1 prospect, but I'd say he may be the only legitimate potential offensive superstar in the Twins system today and that may make him worthy of that top spot.

We've got some good prospects that make for an encouraging future. I don't see much help this coming season outside of Gibson, but 2012 looks pretty promising with both prospects AND a lot of payroll coming off the books.

No, the calendar cannot be found by searching for it. It appears to be gone for good. There is a Academic Calendar.docx file posted by Becky Jeffers, but it does not have the final exam schedules.
The new "Events calendar" is a poor substitute. Why does everything have to look like a toy?
Re: Vacation datesLisa Rivero Oct 13, 2013 10:47 AM (in response to Chi-Che Chan)
From My Hub, click on Academic Catalogs. The Academic Calendar link is on the left, third from the top:
Re: Vacation datesKatherine Wikoff Oct 13, 2013 12:15 PM (in response to Chi-Che Chan)
In addition to finding the calendar in the Academic Catalogs, it helps to know that MSOE's academic calendar revolves around Thanksgiving.
If you want to look ahead three years and know when final exams will be scheduled, you can simply find the calendars that straddle that academic year, let's say, 2016-17. Locate Thanksgiving 2016. That week is the break between fall and winter quarters. The week before that will be finals week for Fall 2016. If you count back 11 weeks from Thanksgiving week, you can find out when the first day of classes will be in Fall 2016.
Then count forward 10 weeks from Thanksgiving week, remembering that we get two weeks off for Christmas and New Year. That takes you through winter quarter. The 11th week will be finals week. The following week would be our break between winter and spring quarters.
Final exams in Spring 2017 will be either 11 or 12 weeks out from that break, depending on where Memorial Day falls. Spring Quarter has to be finished by Memorial Day because summer classes begin the day after. If the calendar allows a break at Easter, then we get the week after Easter Sunday off. If a week off would push Spring Quarter final exams past Memorial Day, though, then we don't get a break.
Maybe it's usually easier to find the Academic Catalog and look the calendar up, but this is how I've always figured out dates when I'm at the dentist's office trying to schedule appointments months into the future.

Camp Sunny Patch Session 2: Spray Bottle Freeze Tag
June 11, 2012 at 6:00 am amy mascott 6 comments
CAMP SUNNY PATCH SESSION 2 is brought to you by Melissa & Doug, written by Camp Counselor (and Melissa & Doug Blog Ambassador!) Amy Mascott.
Session 2 of Camp Sunny Patch is here! This week, we're adding a blast of summer fun to an old favorite by adding spray bottles to the mix.
Required Supplies:
Spray Bottle Freeze Tag takes traditional Freeze Tag to the summertime-fun max!
Kids run around the yard, steering clear of the person who is "It," dodging the water from his or her spray bottle. Once players are "tagged" by the water, they stay still, "frozen" until one of the other players can "unfreeze" them by crawling under the frozen player's legs. The first person frozen three times is the next player to be "It"!
It's fun, it gets kids moving, and it's a great way to cool off in warmer weather.
Here's how to play Spray Bottle Freeze Tag, in 5 easy steps:
1. Players choose someone to be "It."
2. Players run around trying not to get hit with water from spray bottle.
3. Players "freeze" when they're hit with water. Then they put their arms out in the air and call for help from their teammates!
4. Other players crawl under the frozen player's legs to unfreeze him or her.
5. When a player is frozen three times, he or she is the next person to be "It"! Play continues until the kids are beat–or soaking wet–whichever comes first!
We had a blast playing with the Melissa & Doug Finney Fish Spray Bottle and the Tootle Turtle Spray Bottle. My kids were amazed at how far they shot and how much water they held. Plus, they were pretty tickled that I wasn't asking them to spray our flowers or tomatoes and instead jumped in the Spray Bottle Freeze Tag right along with them!
If it's a really hot day, put a sprinkler, like Melissa & Doug's Grub Scouts Kids' Sprinkler, in the middle of the yard so kids have some fun and crazy obstacles to run through during the game. Or give all the kids their own spray bottles and let them have a "squirt race"–spraying each other until one of them runs out of water!
Happy, happy Spray Bottle Freeze Tagging!

I'm not sure where to post this? - but what order do you put on the parts for the Boba Fett costume?
Jumpsuit, Boots, vest etc..
I don't even have my costume finished yet, but I think it would take an extra pair of hands maybe.
My best guess: flightsuit-> boots-> spats-> neckseal-> vest(if your armor is already attached to it, it'd be easier)-> belts-> backplate-> knees-> gauntlets->cape-> jet pack-> gloves-> helmet. ???
Hahah I really don't know, hopefully somebody with a completed costume who's got the order down to a science will come along and let us know. I'm also wondering. But I think it is just trial and error, and what works best for you. Again though, having somebody help you out probably makes it a ton easier.
Here's my order, bottom to top:
flightsuit-> boots-> spats-> knees-> Cod/Kidney -> Belts -> JetPack Harness - >vest(armor is already attached)w/Neckseal and Cape-> backplate->gloves-> gauntlets(W/hoses)->jet pack-> helmet.
Hope tat helps.
Here's the order I go in:
Hope this helps.
Let's see...
Jumpsuit>neck seal>Jet Pack Harness>vest>boots>shin tools>knees>butt/kidney>cod>Girth belt>ammo belt>back plate>neck plate>cape>wookiebraids>chest armor>jet pack>gloves>gauntlets>shoulders>helmet>blaster
That is my setup!
The order I put mine on is this -
I don't have the rest of it.
Sorry, couldn't refrain from that.

Although the SKS is not listed for this site, I think it is a good place for it. After all, it is almost as big and heavy as the M1 Garand and some of the other "battle rifles."
I have several. I like them. They seem to function very well. And, I have a lot of spare parts. So, I think that I will be able to keep them going as long as necessary.
I have one that has a 16 inch barrel and uses AK47 magazines. It would probably be my main go-to SKS. I have 2 stocks for it-one is a thumb-hole stock and the other is a standard style.
But, my tired old eyes need help. So, I am considering buying a Tech-Sight to install on it. And, because this sight is mounted in a replaceable receiver cover, I should be able to transfer it from one gun to another if necessary.
So, does anybody here have experience with this sight? Is it good? Please let me know.

New To the seen and need some advice
Welcome to the site. If your friend's friend does this quite a bit then he may know were to put your mounts. Go visit the welder and find out what he needs to know before he starts on your frame. He will at least want to know what type of front end you will be using (suicide, spring over axle, etc.), what engine, transmission and rear end and what body will you be using. He could build you a generic frame with a specific wheelbase and you will later decide how and where to place your body. Not such a good idea. Go to a few rod runs and car shows and take pics of the rods you like. Go to your local library and read a couple of How to build a hot rod books. Check out some magazines and purchase a few that cater to the type of car you want to build. Decide on your suspension, drivetrain and body before anything is done. It will make it easier for you to build your rod in the long run. Good luck.

|What Sam said.........Do some reading and go to some car shows and do some looking. Get a idea in your head of exactly what you want before you start. As far as the frame and where the mounts go etc. that depends on what body you are going to be using as well as what engine etc.
Just read a lot and have a plan before you start..Remeber determination and being persistant is what gets it done..
New To the seen and need some advice
I just got into the hot rod thing and Im goin to build a hod rod/ rat rod. I cant weld and I was going to have some one that my friend knows to do my chassis and my friend was saying he had a something that tells you where you need to put the mounts for your motor and rear end and what not. But I was thinking that everyone is going to be different right? So that means i need all of my stuff put together and bring everything with so the guy can put the mounts in the right place? Or What do I do? Do I have some one build me one or would it be easier for me to buy one and have it Z'd and channeld? Any sugestions will help and thanks alot.

Craig Eastmond was back in action on Monday night for the first time since his highly-impressive first-team debut in the Carling Cup.
The 18-year-old shone in a defensive midfield role against Liverpool last Wednesday, earning plaudits for his part in Arsenal's 2-1 victory.
Craig could not deny Portsmouth a Reserve League victory at Barnet on Monday but he took time out after the game to discuss his incredible week with the Club. He talked about:
- the defeat against Portsmouth
- trying to break down a massed defence
- how he found out he was playing in the Carling Cup
- the advice he received from the senior players
- his happiness with his performance
- what Arsène Wenger said to him
- playing at right-back earlier this year
- the prospect of facing Man City in December
- why Arsenal can win the Carling Cup

"We had a hot air balloon theme that had banners hanging, and this sticker was a PERFECT way to send off our guests. We used these on his party favor bags, and it just looked really adorable."
"I love this gift tag. I use it on my baked goods that I give out but would be very cute for child OR adult birthday gift tag."
"Customized this with bright pink and yellow for my daughter's first birthday party - they turned out so spectacular. ONLY criticism is that the weight of the stickers is a bit thin... but used them as seals for her invitations and they perfectly coordinated with the address labels (same Fantastic First group, which I also customized). Happy customer!"
"We loved this label. It match the party invitations we ordered and we used them to personalize our party favors. We wish they came in larger options and other shapes too!"
"While the sample makes this look like a label, I edited so there is a "to: " line and a from line (e.g. From: Matthew and Andrew). I love these as birthday present gift tags."

Glad to here everything worked out OK for you. Now go have some fun. Good luck.
Best Baldy.
several months ago i posted about my ordeal with my new PT111 that i had purchased and the trouble i had to go through to get a functional gun...after 3 guns i finally received a brand new gun from the dealer that i used and i am damn happy with the PT111..this little gem is very accurate for a compact, i can shoot 6 inch groups at 25 yards off handed with this gun, and thats with just a little practice with this gun..i cant wait to see what it will do once i get a dew more
rounds through it..i recomend this gun to anyone looking for a compact.
Glad to here everything worked out OK for you. Now go have some fun. Good luck.
Best Baldy.

By Thursday afternoon, several media outlets, including the Denver Post and the Mercury News, had reported Utah State coach Gary Andersen had been contacted by California and Colorado about their open head coaching positions.
Aggies fans are not happy about the rumor mill.
After a 10-2 season in which Utah State won its first outright conference title since the 1930s, Utah State faithful are hoping Andersen stays in Logan to keep building the program. It's been a hot topic of late Gordon Monson wrote about Andersen's dilemma on Thursday morning.
A Twitter hashtag started by Cache Valley Daily's Eric Frandsen caught some steam as Aggies offered Andersen some arguments on why he should remain. Here's a sampling of some of the responses.

The Canisius baseball team won its final road game of the 2013 regular season with a 5-3 victory over Youngstown State at Eastwood Field in Niles, Ohio on Tuesday. The Golden Griffins win their fourth straight game and 25th road game of the season to improve to 38-13 overall.
Sophomore Jesse Puscheck was 3-for-4 with two runs scored and two RBIs, including his first career home run. Junior Jose Torralba recorded two hits in the game while freshman Anthony Massicci reached base four times with a hit and three walks.
Canisius got on the board in the second inning with the leadoff homer from Puscheck. The Griffs added a run in the third, starting when junior Jimmy Luppens was hit by a pitch with one out. After senior Brooklyn Foster worked a walk, Puscheck had an RBI single to put the Griffs up 2-0.
Youngstown State (14-38) tied the game with two runs in the bottom of the fourth, but Canisius came right back with three runs in the top of the fifth. Puscheck started the rally with a two-out double to right-center. Junior Shane Zimmer followed with a single to left to regain the lead for the Griffs. After junior Jesse Kelso worked a walk, an RBI single from Torralba put the Griffs up by two. An RBI single from Massicci, the fifth straight Canisius player to reach with two outs, closed out the scoring and put the Griffs up 5-2.
The Penguins got one back in the botom of the fifth, but that would end the scoring for each team in the game. Sophomore Rohn Pierce (3-1) picked up the win by allowing three runs on eight hits, walking three and striking out four in six innings. The trio of sophomore Eric Stolzenburg, redshirt freshman Iannick Remillard and junior Jon Fitzsimmons each threw a scoreless inning of relief to preserve the victory. Fitzsimmons stuck out two batters in the ninth and picked up his ninth save on the season.
Canisius will close out the regular season with a three-game series against Fairfield University at the Demske Sports Complex. First pitch for Thursday's doubleheader is set for noon.
Notes: The teams played at the stadium of the Mahoning Valley Scrappers, the Class A short-season affiliate of the Cleveland Indians… Canisius has now won the last four meetings between the teams... Luppens was hit by a pitch twice and now has 17 on the season, tied for second in the program's single-season record book… Canisius had two stolen bases in the game and now has 95 on the season, breaking the single-season record of 94 set in 2009… Fitzsimmons has five saves in the last 19 games after four saves in the first 32 games… Torralba had his third straight two-hit performance.

Apr 6, 2012 Nutritional Supplement Study Concludes at Utah State University
A clinical research study on the effects of nutritional supplementation to combat health consequences associated with Cache Valley's poor air quality has concluded at Utah State University. The Cache Valley AIR Study, a partnership between the Center for Human Nutrition Studies at Utah State University and USANA Health Sciences, a Utah-based global nutritional supplement company, began in November 2011 with 66 participants.
Nov 28, 2011 USU studies supplement's ability to protect lungs against inversions (SL Tribune, by Brian Maffly)
Winters in the Cache Valley get ugly when inverted temperature gradients trap particulate pollution near the ground, where it can irritate lung tissue and cause health problems. Now a Utah supplement maker is exploiting the state's notorious inversions to test whether its products reduce inflammation and protect pulmonary function.
Oct 11, 2011 Study looks at whether vitamins can help with breathing during inversions (from KSL.com)
LOGAN — Those who live along the Wasatch Front know how bad the air quality can get. It seems the tell- tale lung irritation and scratchy throats have become an unpleasant winter tradition in recent years.

Re: Newtonian Motion
A simple game of pool demonstrates Newton's Laws of Motion:
1. Every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of motion and every object at rest tends to remain at rest unless an external force is applied to it.
2. The relationship between an object's mass m, its acceleration a, and the applied force F is F = ma. Acceleration and force are vectors (as indicated by their symbols being displayed in slant bold font); in this law the direction of the force vector is the same as the direction of the acceleration vector.
3. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
I hope people enjoy and vote and leave comments and all that good stuff.

No, it's really not. Photos aren't allowed as has been mentioned many times. Also, especially with an unaltered photo, it's impossible to separate the image into (at most) six colors without the use of gradients.
And, there's precious little artistic expression involved in pasting a photograph into the Woot shirt template, especially when it's ... questionable ... as to topic.
Finally, if this were allowed, it would almost certainly cater to the masses.

the little sphere is heavier because when you pack the same mass into a smaller space, the object is denser (ie. heavier).

- - Cranckcase Evacuation ? (http://www.460ford.com/forum/42-general-tech/173457-cranckcase-evacuation.html)
Cranckcase Evacuation ?
Hi all, I asked this question a few weeks ago and didn't really get any kind of answer , so I'll ask again and see what happens ! For the street , is a cranckase evac. pump worth the expense ? Is a stroker motor , with all the extra pumping , building enough pressure to warrant this system ? I'm considering a 4.300" stroke in a DOVE A block and am considering an evac. pump for the street , has anyone taken this path yet , and if so how did it work out ? As always , I welcome any and all comments ! Thanks , Ernie
I wouldn't see why it'd be necessary. I'm building a street/strip 521. I'm also curious on this tho..
Sent from AutoGuide.com Free App
Recently finished a 427" sbc SB2 engine for a motorcycle because of wanting to run valve covers without breathers have no choice. During the build and asking around most that run strokers use normal crankcase evacuation unless there is a problem. I would suggest giving it a try using the engines stock pcv if the motor seems to weep oil that cannot be stopped then a vacuum pump would be the way to go. Good Luck
Thanks for the response, I guess the racers wait to see a problem and then install an evac. system if needed . I guess I'll see what happens , go from there . Thanks again.
It was recommended to me to do it but I'm running a blower and the pressure was blowing the breathers out. I opted to weld thread bungs in my covers and run braided line down to my header evac system. IF I still have issues I will go to a pump. I would say, if you are not drag strip ONLY not to worry unless you see the need. I have run regular breathers for years and NEVER blew one out till now. As for freeing up HP...... you would have to weigh out the need versus cost and the fact that every time a belt is added to the crank it takes HP away, even to make more. Plus added maintenance and belt alignment, etc......
Hope what ever you decide works for you,
Ive run crankcase evacs to my headers for years, through mufflers, on the street as well.
Never had a problem, made all the leaks and blowing caps go away.
If you go that way, braided is fine, but dont buy the moroso kit or Jegs. Got to Napa and get a couple of EGR valves for a Ford Pinto, one 4 inch X 1/2 pipe nipple from home depot, cut the nipple in half at a 45 and your done.
I do weld an extra backer on my collector the nipple goes through just for good measure. Ilooked at vacuum pumps, crank an electric, cant justify the cost against the effectiveness of the header evacs.
They will tell you it smokes, especially running through mufflers. Mine never has, anymore than any other car when your running the piss out of it.
Thanks,for the info.This header evac. setup you're talking about,from what I get from it is basically running your breathers down into your exhaust,where a factory setup would run into the air cleaner.Using an EGR valve would keep exhaust from coming up and into the valve cover ? If this is what you're saying,great info.! I guess what I'm lookin for is to keep the motor clean.An open breather does just that,lets the motor breath, and I'm looking for a way to keep the 'sweat' off the valve covers. How about just using a recovery tank? Something with its own remote breather and maybe a drain? Just a thought. Also,if going to the header route,do you still use a PCV valve? If not,with no vacuum being lost,you may have to lean out carb?
Any thoughts?
Really depends on what your Eng is built for. Stock to mild builds are fine running crankcase evacs off the Valve Cover to a breather or base of the carb etc, using a PVC in line.
But if your going with any amount of duration on your cam, rumpty rump, you will have problems with vacuum. Now depending on how much your running it, hi RPM etc, will dictate through the headers evac (mostly racing) or vacuum pump $$$$.
For mild street strip builds, the electric Ford vacuum pumps are fine, its when you get into sustained hi rpm runs that they cant keep up.
whats wrong with jegs or moroso kits...Mine from jegs blows backwards toward the valve cover...
blow back
The set I bought from Summit have one way check valves that screw on right the included pipe that gets welded in at the header collector and so far I have never had a problem with pressure going backwards. The included pipes that got welded into my headers were notched and cut at the proper angle so they went through the perfect amount and proper angle to "suck" or "draw" the vacuum properly. There was no guesswork to it. And the weld has held fine so far without the need for any other type of support brackets.
The only reason my breathers blew out was because I had the evac hoses disconnected to try some different exhaust configurations. The reason I am going to the welded bungs with threaded fittings is for peace of mind, a cleaner more professional look, more clearance under my cowl and if I want to upgrade to a pump in the future I will already have that part covered.
Again, I hope that whatever you decide to do works for you. And I liked the post because I am always wondering if I should/if I shouldn't go to a pump so I like seeing the other members replies and reasons why they are for or against pumps....
Have a good one!
After reading others comments and experiences I have to wonder , lets say you run a big cam that really drops your vacuum ( 12''s at idle), now say while cruising , you have around 14 or 15 "s , wouldn't that drop your PCV valve efficiency ? Like I said early on , just wondering about keeping breather oil off valve covers ( the sweat) , factory stuff goes back to the air cleaner , I want to find a better way . I now think a recovery tank might be the way to go . Should this be done with no PCV valve and just a simple hose out of each valve cover ? Or with a PCV valve and one tank only ?
PVC valve is ONLY to keep a carb backfire in the carb or intake from blowing into your crank case/valve cover.
The jegs kits are crap, but I put mine together using a 4 inch nipple from Home Depot 1.24, and two Pinto EGR valves from NAPA, total cost 15 buck I think. Already had the breathers, but will probably go with the screw ins on this build for peace of mind.
Catch can is only that, it doesnt do anything but catch blow by. Where as a positive evac is actively removing pressure from your crank case, that causes pressue and misting inside the eng, robbing horsepower. At idel around town, not to big an issue, and ring blow by is not that bad unless your eng is junk.
When you put your foot into it, and get on the big end of the track, you dont want oil blowing off your valve covers etc when your pumping all that press into your crankcase from the rings.
Thats why the header evac works well on drag cars, unless you can afford the pump. The electric pumps wont keep up with the increased crank case press on the big end.
Thanks for all the responses,gives me something to think about.

Hi guys, I am so close to getting my costume finished. I need to know the correct spacing/location of the collar studs and jet pack hooks i got today from Madmartigan.
Once this is done I am almost done!
Hey Rob,
From pics it looks as tho the collar studs are placed about 20mm (ctrs) in from each edge... giving distance between ctrs of 50mm
Hook placement.
On my pack I have the hooks set 3 inches in from the outside of the pack.
hope this helps.
note: these are not hooks from Mad Marty. So I'm not quite sure that this helps at all.
Yeah the 'ctrs' of the hooks seem to be around 3" in from the back plate edge and placed turned outward as seen in the pic.
For the hooks, it will depend on your backplate. I had my backplate on a mannequin and put some duct tape on each hook where it would attach to the jet pack.
Then I held the jet pack so it was centered on the backplate with the top of the backplate of the jet pack (the blue curved area that would actually contact the back) just about an inch to an inch and a half below the top of the neck on the backplate per reference photos. Then I placed the hooks themselves so the tops were parallel to the backplate slots and about a half inch to 1 inch below them. That way, when the rectangle rings are attached, there is just the right amount of sag. The duct tape will hold them in place once you get them in the right position, then I drilled my holes right through the holes in the hooks. Used a piece of flashing with the same holes as a backplate inside and #8 bolts, nuts, and washers to hold it all on.
Hope that helps! I'd post pictures, but the whole shebang is in transport to Texas as we speak. You can, however, get a general sense of where mine ended up by looking at the jet pack hook thread. I have a photo of mine on the jet pack there. :)
Good luck!
I have now adjusted the straps so a smaller amount of strap shows and the pack sits a little higher!
Looks good to me.
Looking good Rob... ;)
Really coming together now
Cheers guys!
I marked the hook placement from the back plate. It was about that. I also had to place them below the top shelf of the pack - obviously! I am gonna wait re the collar studs until I have them in hand, as i don't want to get it wrong.
I think that is all i am missing. Will finish the black braid and then tidy them up to the correct length and shape - found hair spray works well.
If you shortened the straps you should be perfect! Mighty fine looking hooks ya got there. :D
They are great, nice work and fast delivery highly recom.......wait a minute, wrong site :lol
Good lookin' armor! BM or FP? Your paint handiwork?
:cheerslooks real good rob nice work with the paint
FP V3 armour painted by Mojo Fett who did an amaizing job, thanks again Bruv.
Hey Mojo...what color did you use for the light green scratches on the ab plate? I spent 20 minutes searching the forum yesterday to no avail. Also, how did you apply it? Don't want to hijack the thread, so if you want to PM me, that would be fine too!

BRISTOL, PA -- AMI Entertainment Inc. announced on May 2 a corporate restructuring plan that creates two divisions: one focusing on music and TV products, and another concentrating on videogames and bill changers. The company also said it plans to increase its manufacturing capacity in Texas and end production in Reynosa, Mexico.
"Today, AMI is already the market leader or the fastest-growing company in every key market we serve," said chief executive Michael Maas. "To accelerate, we need to be highly focused and properly resourced in each segment to meet customer needs. This restructuring will accomplish that."
The music division, headquartered in Grand Rapids, MI, with offices in Bristol, PA, and Chicago, will oversee the company's digital jukebox business. AMI.tv, a Web-based private television system, will be part of the music division.
The videogame division will concentrate on the new Megatouch Live platform and its flagship ML-1 touchscreen countertop terminal. It will also provide support for legacy Megatouch systems with software updates and Tournamaxx products. Games Warehouse, the UK-based skill-with-prize (SWP) gaming company, will be part of AMI's videogame division. In the U.S., AMI markets an SWP product called Prize Farm. The videogame division, which also oversees the manufacture and sales of bill changers, is headquartered in Bristol, PA.
As part of its restructuring plan, AMI said it will close its manufacturing facility in Mexico and expand production capacity at its McAllen, TX, facility, which was originally opened for warehousing and shipping. This change is expected to create new jobs in the U.S. manufacturing sector before the end of the year.
"Reynosa was fantastic for us," Maas said. "Quality, efficiency, teamwork -- everything was topnotch. There were no issues there. But as our product designs enhance and evolve, so must our supply chain."
AMI Entertainment moved its hardware production to Mexico in 2009, following the integration of Merit Entertainment, the original maker of Megatouch games, and Rowe International, a long-running jukebox and vending machine manufacturer that merged with Automatic Musical Instruments (AMI) in the 1950s. During that restructuring phase, the Rowe/AMI factory in Grand Rapids was closed, and AMI moved into a new sales and marketing office there. | SEE STORY
Merit and Rowe were the primary assets acquired by St. Louis-based Harbour Group for its digital media group. Other acquisitions for the group included TAP.tv, Rock-Ola Manufacturing Corp., Games Warehouse and View Interactive.

I've just launched bethecamera.com that lets you play with many cameras virtually within your browser. It can be used as an aid while learning concepts like ISO, aperture, shutter speed and depth of field, and to see how these things behave with different cameras.
As far as I know there's nothing else like it and I'd love to get some feedback, good or bad :-)

Born: 09/10/1995, Newham
Position: Forward
Chuba Akpom first played for the Under-18s when he was just 15. He has been a regular in the squad this year, and even though still a schoolboy, the powerful and skilful striker insists that he would have liked to have started more games.
"Perhaps I was being too ambitious because I am still at school, but I began the season hoping to become a regular starter," he says. "I have made 15 appearances in all, which is very good for me in that I feel fully prepared to hit the ground running next season when I begin as an Academy scholar. I suppose that this season has been a very good warm-up."
Chuba attends four training sessions a week with the Gunners as well as applying himself to his schoolwork, and reveals: "to do as best as I can academically is important to me. I know I want to become a professional footballer and I am 100 per cent focused on that, but at the same time I have to be practical in that injuries happen in football and without qualifications I will have little to fall back on.
"I do not believe that my football suffers because I apply myself to it, and nor do I believe that my schoolwork suffers because of my football. I believe I have the right balance. In fact I think I'm inspired to do my schoolwork because as soon as it's done, I know I can play football."
Chuba explains that his drive was to become a footballer for as long as he can remember with Thierry Henry and Ronaldo his main sources of inspiration. "I remember watching them both all the time," he smiles.
"Even now I watch them on YouTube. I learn from Thierry's movement and finishing and Ronaldo's directness, power and skills. I felt so fortunate to meet Thierry when he was training with us. I didn't go into detail with him about playing as a striker, but it was good that he showed an interest, shook my hand and asked how I was getting on whenever I saw him."
Chuba is from a rare breed of young Gunners - he has been a striker all his life. Going back as far as Martin Keown or one of today's opponents, Ashley Cole, as classic examples, most young players start off as strikers and then make other positions their own. The reason perhaps that Chuba is still an attacker is undoubtedly that he ticks all the boxes required. He is tall, powerful and creative - and knows where the goal is. He is also quick. "I am not as fast as Nigel Neita or Ben Glasgow, but not far behind," he reports.
The only problem for Chuba is, that contrary to most strikers, he says he gets as much joy from setting up goals for others as he does scoring himself. "It's quite funny because Steve Bould sometimes has a go at me for being greedy in front of goal so he may laugh when he reads this, but I really do get as much pleasure from helping others score," he states. "If I make the assist, I get great satisfaction. I like to beat players and get a cross or pass in. It is a team game and I know my main aim is to score goals and I really enjoy doing that, but I get as much of a thrill in making a killer pass."
Whether players are 16 or 30, playing FIFA 12 or FIFA Street is a big part of their social life. Chuba is no different, but he insists that both can be a big help to what happens on the pitch. "Again, like schoolwork it's about balance, but I really believe that FIFA Street is especially helpful," he says. "One of the main things about it are the tricks. I try to replicate them and then I bring it to the boys and we have competitions as to who pulls it off the best. Let's just say I am the teacher!"

Associate Professor Larry Bush shows his students how to use a jigger to make ceramic plates.
Painter. Sculptor.
Ceramicist. These titles suggest differences – sometimes even philosophical
divides – but they all speak a common language where innovation is the
universal dialect. Students enrolled in Advanced
Pottery & Ceramics Production are digging their hands into this idea as
the fall studio is hosting a series of visiting artists engaged in marvelous –
sometimes unorthodox – projects.
"It's a useful, natural thing
to do," explains Associate Professor Larry Bush, who teaches the Ceramics studio for upper-level
students. "When we talk with other artists, we realize ideas."
Professor Holly Hughes, head of RISD's Painting
department, is one of those artists. Finding a newfound love for ceramics, she
regaled Bush's students with tales of her trip to Deruta, a world-famous hill
town that produces exquisite ceramics and china in the Umbria region of Italy.
During her stay, she painted on plates under the watchful eye of the Deruta
craftsmen – absolute masters of their trade – who are advancing centuries-old
techniques that first emerged in the Middle Ages. "Once you first touch clay,"
she tells the students huddled around the table, "you want to touch it some
This co-mingling between
disciplines inspired Hughes to fire her own plates – a completely nouveau
undertaking for an artist who's been using paintbrushes since she was a small
child. Encouraging students to also pursue their own cross-disciplinary curiosities,
she explains that she's now experimenting with ceramic form.
"Look at these plates – I go
completely insane for them," she says, pointing to an image of a Deruta plate
adorned with colorful, geometric patterns. "See how fine the lines are? This is
phenomenal. These designs have somehow subconsciously made their way into my
Professor of Printmaking Andrew Raftery, known for his incredibly detailed copper-plate
engravings, has also made an in-studio cameo. Right now, the printmaker is
working on a series of ceramic editions. "Artists don't usually do only one
thing," Bush explains, wearing a clay-splattered apron. "We're always tinkering
with something."
Visiting artist Aunrico Gatson is also brainstorming with students to fashion a
piece of Americana: a ceramic model of a 1949 Buick tire. Inspired by The Warmth of Other Suns, an account of
the Great Migration, the sculptor plans to create a plastic wheel cover to be used
when casting the model. "The sheer size of it will be a learning experience for
the students," Bush explains, adding that this cross-pollination between majors
is practically inevitable. "We're not inventing
a reason to cross over into other departments," he says. "We already have these
obsessions." –Abigail Crocker
