Know your market BEFORE you start investing money. A lot of fields in MN have shut down in the last few years, for various reasons. Mostly from a lack of revenue coming in. You need to know how you are going to be better than the others in the area.

I'd read every word these guys have posted. Also, the Field Owners forum on PBN has a lot of great threads.
Hope that helps.

I live in mn and all of the fields are FPO and cost 80$ for a case.
Going back to what I said.... research the market. There may be a reason for this. You could well find that your rent kills you off without higher paint pricing.
The ONLY reason Special Forces is still alive as a business is because they have ZERO land costs. It's all family owned land they already have/had, so they don't need to keep paying the landlord or the bank. That, and they never upkeep their field. It used to be a pretty fun place to play but it's gotten really run down.
If you're willing to drive about as far as SF is from the cities, look at Splat Tag just across the border in Hudson, WI. It's around 60/case (at least, for their big game it is) FPO but the field is about a hundred times better than Special Forces. Seriously.

If you do the math for initial start-up costs (land, structures, inventory, air system, safety equipment etc.) expect to double it. Basically if you find you need 100k to start, go ask the bank for 200k. there are a number of reasons for this. You WONT be profitable right away, I have heard fields taking as long as 2 years before they start turning a profit. Paying off the loans, gaining popularity/customer base etc. Plus if its your only job you will need some way to survive until you do turn a profit.
Paint prices: as much as we all love BYOP or at least reasonable FPO prices, sometimes it just isnt possible. You have bills, loans and field maiintanance/staff to pay for. Using the above example of 200k. If you only make $5000 a month it will take 40 months just to pay of the principal of the loan. Still would have all the interest to pay off. This doesnt factor in payroll, and the rest of your expenses. Will it cost 200k to start? maybe not, but you kinda get the idea. You wont be popular at the start of things, simply because your new. Even with top notch staff, fields and reasonable prices it will take time. I think this is why alot of fields tank is because they cant make enough to cover costs initially. They raise their prices to catch up but the attendance suffers as a result.

Another thing that can attract people, is a "hangout" area, dark side in SD had one of these, they had a ps2 hooked up for kids after school. Make it open to public viewing, allowing people to just walk in and watch some people in a game can encourage them to try it, and if you have concessions they might spend money there too. You want to be as welcoming as possible, to anyone. We once had a group of 30 Somalis, all of them understood english but I believe only 6 or 7 spoke it, it was a long 4 hours, but everyone had a good time, and there were no troublemakers.
If you have indoors you can control the climate, it may be a little spendy, but it could make more people want to come back vs go else where, also broadens the types of games you can play, like black light paintball, where you have bunkers outlined in black light paint along with markings on the field that will glow in the black light, pair that with light colored shells and it can be an awesome time.
Open play! Don't forget about having it! Its not always busy on open play days, but it helps attract new people to try it out, host special open play days to draw bigger crowds. Also not a bad idea to have BYOP with an additional charge, that way you get money from that plus they get to use their favorite paint, unless it is a type that you do not allow.. Plus! if they run out you will then be able to sell them yours.
With where our sport is, you want things to attract people as well as things to keep them coming back, something to help with that is go to other fields in the area on open play days and find the regulars and ask why they keep coming back.
Hope you find some useful info!

there are so many field with bad staff and reffs. An indoor and outdoor field would be a plus living in MN so you can be open year round. Standard rental (98 custom, steelie tank, mask) 3000 psi and 4500 psi fill station. chrono. woodsball and speedball. good field props for woodsball. It is always helpful to have a trained tech. A cross between Air Assault, Vintage, and Splat Tag would be the perfect field.

Location is going to be key in any business, the area north of the twin cities has minimal places to play.
Best of luck to you in your endeavors!

You meet the nicest people in the most unusual places. I was riding my recumbent bike at the gym and started up a conversation with the lady riding the bike next to me. It was amazing the things we had in common, one of which is a love for cooking.
Her name is Nancy Pigg. No, I asked, she doesn't know Esta Pigg, but everyone always asks her that. Esta Pigg is a delightful lady who lives in the northern end of the county and loves to cook, too. But back to Nancy. She is a single mother of one 7-year-old daughter who attends New Highland Elementary. She originally came to Elizabethtown as a U.S. Army wife.
As a divorced woman, with jobs so far and few between, Nancy has turned toward the idea of starting a bakery in Elizabethtown, where she can showcase her cooking and baking talents. Nancy said she knows there are many people who can cook better than she, but she is working toward having her own business for many reasons. One of the most important is being able to support her daughter the best that she can. Another reason is to have a job she can take pride in and to be able to give back to the community.
Nancy started learning to cook at age 12, as her paternal grandmother showed her many ways to cook and bake for her family. Nancy's father is the 11th child of 12 and was born in Monticello. When her grandfather died, her family moved to another state, where her grandmother raised her children until they grew up and moved out on their own. Nancy used the knowledge her grandmother gave her to take care of her family and friends. She has cooked meals for soldiers and civilians at Fort Knox and the surrounding areas. She makes healthy food, depending on the individual needs of each person, including gluten-free foods and foods for diabetics.
Nancy has created new kind of pasta that she is in the process of selling. It has three carbs and 17 calories per serving, is made from scratch and is gluten-free. She makes her pasta with flax seed flour that she grinds, applesauce and water.
Nancy shared some of her recipes. She was such an interesting lady to talk to and I wish her all the luck in reaching her dream of having her own bakery.
3 to 3 ½ cups self-rising flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 eggs
Mix dry ingredients with butter and eggs. You may add dried fruit, chocolate, nuts or whatever items tickle your taste buds to make them the way you like.
Place in a long, shallow pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Remove from oven, cut into long slices, then in half. Put slices back on pan on cut side. Bake for another 15 minutes and then let cool to serve.
No Bake Dietetic Cheesecake
6 oz. whipping cream
3-8 oz. fat-free cream cheese
1/2 cup Truvia sweetener
1 tsp. almond extract
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 cup sour cream
1 Tbsp. powdered sugar
Whip cream until stiff peaks form; add sweetener, cream cheese, vanilla and almond extracts and beat until smooth. Pour in a graham cracker crust, chill for two hours. If you prefer a baked version, add 3 egg whites and bake at 325 degrees for 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Healthy Homemade Stroganoff
2 cups water
2 cups milk (whatever type you like)
16 oz. sour cream
3 tsp. crushed garlic
1 pinch sea salt
1 tsp. basil
1 tsp. rosemary
1 lb. of ground beef or ground turkey
In a saucepan, add water, milk and sour cream. Mix together until warm. Cook meat in a separate pan adding salt, garlic, basil and rosemary. Combine meat mixture and sauce. Put over preferred pasta. Serves 8
Remember, you are always welcome to nominate someone for "One of Hardin County's Finest Cooks." October is taken, but November and December are wide open. Just email me your nomination. Also, if you have a recipe you would like to share or need a recipe you have lost, please feel free to share or ask for my help.
Nora Sweat, author of "Mama and Me," is a native of Hardin County and a retired home economics/family and consumer science teacher. She can be reached at email@example.com or by mail at 408 W. Dixie Ave., Elizabethtown, KY 42701.

Posted by Peter Sheldon on the eBusiness & Channel Strategy Professionals Blog on May 2, 2014
Have you ever stopped to think where your last online order came from and how it got to your house? We might assume that the package on our doorstep has probably just made a lengthy and complex journey across the country (courtesy of the belly of a UPS freighter, a handful of trucks, a few miles of conveyor belts and some good old human muscle) from a large, nondescript distribution center located in the suburbs of a city we've barely heard of. You may be surprised to learn then, that today it is increasingly likely that the package at your door came no further than a few miles down the road from a locally based store of the retailer you ordered online from. Of course, as consumers, we don't really care where our purchases came from or how they found their way to our doorstep - as long the right merchandise arrives damage-free and on time.

- Jeremy Sharpe, an attorney adviser in the U.S. State Department's Office of the Legal Adviser

Program for International Legal Studies
Wayne Law created the Program for International Legal Studies in recognition of the breadth of the faculty's international engagements and expertise and the fact that nearly all aspects of law now have an international component. From regulation of cross-border financial transactions to controlling pollution that recognizes no boundaries to human rights treaties that regulate how governments treat their citizens, law is now an interconnected global phenomenon. The program coordinates all activities at Wayne Law related to international law. These activities include hosting the Speaker Series, sponsoring conferences and symposia featuring leading international scholars and practitioners, promoting research on international and comparative law topics, and providing important resources for Wayne Law students, alumni and friends interested in international law.

Fine cheeses are like fine wines. Producing and aging them properly is both an art and a science. From cave-aging to the use of raw milk, watch Dr. Catherine Donnelly, Co-director of the Vermont Institute for Artisan Cheeses, describe the microbial world of cheese.Listeria and Salmonella are just a couple of the pathogens that pose a risk to cheese consumers. In this episode of MicrobeWorld Video, Dr. Donnelly explains how these risks are mitigated through strict processing guidelines, why these safeguards make cheese one of the safest commodities today, and how beneficial organisms contribute to the cheese making process. In addition, Erica Sanford from Cowgirl Creamery with the help of Carolyn Wentz from Everona Dairy walk us through the steps of artisan cheese production.

We want to grow: Eggplants Zucchini (we're doing Chinese zucchini and are hoping to have it grow up lattice) Tomatoes Squash potatoes lettuce Chinese cucumber carrots garlic onion radish a variety of herbs - mint, basil, rosemary, parsley I'd also love to do leek, sweet potatoes, capsicum, chilli, mushrooms, spinach... We'd love to make the garden as easy as possible (the kids working on it have special needs) but we really want to make it useable as well - we want our veggies to actually grow so we can eat them! We have some time each week to work on it. Does anyone having any advice? Is it true some of these veggies, like potatoes, can grow more by planting the vegetable itself? (Some websites say the potatoes can make then soil toxic?) Are there any things that shouldn't be grown together? I don't have a lot of space, but want to use the space I do have well. Thanks in advance for any advice you have!

Old Deira, on the north side of the creek, is home to Dubai's chaotic suqs. It's best visited in the evening from 5 p.m. on, when it's at its most atmospheric, but if you must visit in the morning, start around 10 a.m., as most shops close by 1 p.m. to avoid the afternoon heat. "Carry a bottle of water at all times, and don't be shy to hail a taxi, no matter how far you're going, especially in summer—nobody walks in 113°F (45°C) heat."—Claire Turrell, editor, VIVA magazine.
Start the walk at (1) Deira Old Suq abra station and cross the road to the (2) Spice Suq, an assault on all senses. Outside the spice shops stand sacks overflowing with frankincense, sumac, zaatar, cinnamon, cloves, and other aromatic spices, while inside shelves are lined with everything from henna shampoo to tiny boxes of saffron—excellent value in Dubai. Buy some frankincense, an incense burner, and coals.
At the suq's exit on Al Abra Street, hang a right. Walk to the end of the street, turn left into Al Ras Street, continue until Al Hadd Street, and then go right. The fascinating wholesale shops here trade foodstuffs with Iran via the dhows down on the creek.
Head right into Al Ahmadiya Street and continue until you reach (3) Heritage House (1890), a splendid example of a pearl merchant's residence. Inside, kitsch mannequins in traditional dress reveal how they lived at the time. This house belonged to Sheikh Ahmed bin Dalmouk, who, along with his son, built adjoining (4) Al Ahmadiya School, one of Dubai's oldest schools, responsible for educating some of the city's most prominent citizens. At the school's entrance admire the exquisite decorative gypsum panels. Inside, fascinating black-and-white photos illustrate the school's history.
Walk along Al Ahmadiya Street, turning right into Old Baladiya Street, a lane of wholesalers mainly trading in traditional sandals, and gutra and agal, the headdress worn by Emirati men. Further down the street a wooden latticed arch marks the entrance to Dubai's (5) gold suq, home to myriad shops with dazzling displays of gold jewelry in their windows. Be prepared to bargain.
On the side streets are small cafeterias, tiny tailoring shops, neon-lit barbers, and souvenir shops selling belly dance costumes. Walk to the end of the wooden arcades then continue along Sikkat al Khail Street to the (6) perfume suq. This is where Emirati women and gulf tourists bargain for spicy Arabian attars (perfume oils) and elaborate perfume bottles. In the surrounding back streets, the narrow alleyways of (7) Deira covered suq are lined with stores selling traditional kandouras (long robes), textiles, shisha pipes, souvenirs, and not coincidentally, lots of cheap luggage.
Walk to the corner of Sikkat al Khail Street and Al Soor Street where you can revive with a fresh mango juice and delicious shawarma at (8) Ashwaq Cafeteria.

Fear when walking
Hello everyone, I'm new on the forums.
Me and my girlfriend have a 6 month Black GS called Pixie, we have had her for around 2 months.
She came from a breeder living out on a farm, very quiet and isolated place.
We live in the suburbs, in a residential area so always cars, buses, noise, people, dogs etc
Her first time walking was of course very slow and very frightened of everything which we expected and now she is progressing a lot but still there are times when I take her for a walk and she will put on the brakes every 5-10 paces.
I turn around slightly and see she is facing behind us looking and listening, very focused. There is usually nothing there..
I gave her a slight tug and call her, works sometimes but not all the time. Once she wouldn't move for a solid 5 mins, looking in the distance at nothing..
Is she being protective checking behind her or being fearful...?
I found that being patient and letting her have a look and listen works better, she comes in her own time when she is comfortable.
Not sure whether to allow this behaviour to happen or not..?
Also she is scared of plastic bags and big logs, I have to go touch them or sit on the log until she realises not to be scared.. is this method ok?
Thanks so much!!
IMO, I think you are doing right in letting the puppy take her time looking at things. All my pups seemed to need to "look" and process then they move on. Also, touching things to show the pup that they are OK is fine. It does take patience but it's worth it.

You are doing a great job. There needs to be a balance to respect she is concerned but then that YOU will show her it's ok. The more she learns that you are a confident leader that is guiding her thru life the more she'll just look to you and follow you rather then think she's got to deal with the 'whatever' on her own.
Do NOT consider any of her behaviors as being 'protective' that's a bad road that will allow her to become a fearful dog. Instead, this is her being unsure of new things and you need to build her confidence so she will (when she's and ADULT) be better able to determine normal from something she should be concerned about (with your help!)
Have you started up any classes yet? Huge help for the human to get the leadership role in our dogs eyes.
And if you can learn clicker training to start taking treats on your walks this will really get better fast. Hungry dog. Real treats. You knowing how to mark the behaviors you want. She's the perfect age to work thru all these issues with your help.
How well are you progressing with ---> http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum...s-puppies.html
Good luck!
Thank you so much for this advise and reassuring me I am doing something right, its good feeling to know I done something right that was natural in me.. Its my first dog as well.
One of the most important things that I keep forgetting is that she is only 6 months and I have only had her 2 months, shes a big and heavy girl already and I am always expecting too much sometimes...
I need to give myself a reality check at times and give her back some patience which I take at times..
This month I am starting classes! She needs dog socialization a lot, so this will help. Shes great with strange people but dogs smaller than her she wants to play and dogs bigger than her she hides behind me.. hehe

Arsène Wenger says it will be impossible for him to forget last season's Carling Cup Final loss to Birmingham.
Arsenal suffered a heartbreaking defeat at Wembley as Obafemi Martins' last-gasp goal handed the trophy to the underdogs.
Wenger will continue the hunt for his first League Cup triumph when Bolton travel to Emirates Stadium on Tuesday night and says the team will strive to go one better this time around.
"Yes [the Birmingham game] will hurt me forever because we never forget disappointments," he told Arsenal Player. "That's part of life at a managerial level, you do not only have successes but disappointments too.
"People forget that we did fight very hard to get there and overall we produced great performances in the Carling Cup last year. That's very important as well.
"There is hunger in this team no matter what competition it is. We want to do well in the Carling Cup, the championship, the Champions League - in every single competition.
"I don't question the hunger of my team, they have an exceptional attitude. You can see now at the Emirates that our fans are behind the team because the attitude of the players is right."
The full interview with the boss is now available on Arsenal Player.
- Emirates Stadium is set for another bumper Carling Cup crowd, but tickets are still available HERE

Hi guys!, I'm Deskabezado, I was a member of TDH in 2007, but is not that I was eliminated in 2009 .
I'm North of Chile, I have 24 years and I'm a Star Wars fan since I can remember. Since I discovered places like these, where the "do it yourself" is a way of life is that I am excited to begin my project BobaFett. I started to collect information Boba 2008, and thanks to WOF send me your PDF is that today I am building my helmet. 2009 TDH of me disappeared, and now I'm Banned .Not yet finished the helmet, for lack of materials in the area but little to be finalized... it´s my dream. I'm in the step of the putty
I hope to contribute my grain of sand in it. I unwrap the crafts, so I will do whatever I can. Excuse my English because I also make what I can for understand all the language used in the forum. Tell me if I'm wrong or something is not understood.
Note:Sorry, I'm wrong, if the administrator may want to send this item to the introduction

The National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) will be returning its national wrestling tournament to the state of Iowa this year. It will be the first time that the event has been held in Des Moines since 2010.
The tournament will be held at the Richard O. Jacobson Exhibition Center on the Iowa State Fairgrounds from Friday, Feb. 22 to Saturday, Feb. 23. The event will be hosted by wrestling teams in the Iowa Community College Athletic Conference (ICCAC), which includes Ellsworth Community College, Iowa Western Community College, Iowa Central Community College, North Iowa Area Community College and Iowa Lakes Community College.
"We are excited to get to Des Moines and see what we can do," Said Head Coach Cody Alesch. "The athletes have great attitudes and are ready to make this their best performance of the year."
Wrestlers will hit the mats for the first matches at 9:30 a.m. on Friday, with the top eight wrestlers advancing to compete in the finals on Saturday. With all the best NJCAA wrestlers competing in the tournament, the competition should be fierce. NJCAA wrestling fans should come out and check out the action.
"We have five sophomores who will be wrestling for the last time at Iowa Lakes and they want to make the best of it," Coach Alesch added. "It is hard to believe that the year is coming to a close already but I believe the wrestlers are right where they need to be."

Location: Forage and Range Research
Project Number: 2080-21000-014-19-N
Project Type: Non-Funded Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: Jan 20, 2011
End Date: Jan 19, 2016
To develop novel cool-season grass and legume germplasm and associated managemment technologies for use in irrigated and non-irrigated temperate growing environments.
Collaborative experiments will be designed and implemented, either in the laboratory or the field, depending upon the specific research objectives. Laboratory experiments will be conducted jointly in Logan, Utah, and the Department of Grassland Sciences, China Agricultural University, Beijing (DGS) where research concerning the evaluation of germplasm for abiotic stress environments and associated management practices are being conducted. Where experiments involve the development of breeding and management technologies for the identification and use of unique grass and legume genotypes, work will be performed in Logan, Utah, and by the DGS. Germplasm evaluation of Chinese and U.S. grass and legume accessions (cultivars and lines) will be conducted in the Great Basin Region of Utah and in Hebei Province (north, near Inner Mongolia), China, under irrigated and non-irrigated growing conditions and in the greenhouse as deemed appropriate. This research will attempt to: 1) assess the genetic diversity of grasses, legumes, and forage shrub germplasm native to dry, temperate regions of China; 2) develop grass, legume, and forage shrub plant materials with improved pasture, turf, and rangeland characteristics; 3) develop plant materials adapted to dry, temperate regions under reduced management inputs (e.g., irrigation and fertilizer); 4) develop improved breeding procedures and management practices; and 5) develop new genetic methodologies for use in evaluation and breeding.

Is Sea-Level Rise Accelerating?
A few months ago a paper by Jim Houston and Bob Dean in the Journal of Coastal Research (JCR) cast doubt on whether global sea level rise has accelerated over the past century or so. As things go these days, 'climate sceptics' websites immediately heralded this as a "bombshell". A rebuttal by myself and Martin Vermeer has now been published in JCR.
The keystone of the argument by Houston & Dean is the fact that a prominent global sea level reconstruction (Church & White 2006) shows no acceleration since 1930. Which raises the question: why 1930, given the sea level data set starts in 1870? The reason becomes immediately evident when looking at the acceleration starting from any arbitrary date (Fig. 1).
Figure 1. Acceleration of sea-level rise (i.e., twice the quadratic coefficient) from different starting years up to 2001 in the global tide gauge data set of Church and White (2006; red line with uncertainty band). Note that after ~1960 the calculation gets excessively 'noisy' because the time interval gets too short to robustly compute acceleration. I graphed this right away after reading the Houston & Dean paper, and a few days later Tamino independently came up with a similar plot – it's the obvious thing to do. The blue line shows the same quantity from the sea-level hindcast of Vermeer & Rahmstorf (2009) computed from global temperature data.
Around 1930 we see a unique minimum in the acceleration curve – I will explain the cause of this shortly. Other start dates either before or after this minimum show positive acceleration. Picking 1930 for this analysis is thus a classic cherry-pick, and according to the authors that is no accident. They write in the paper: 'Since the worldwide data of Church and White (2006)…appear to have a linear rise since around 1930, we analyzed the period 1930 to 2010.' The interval was thus hand-picked to show a linear rise rather than acceleration.
Connection to temperature
Houston & Dean use their result to question the future acceleration of sea level rise predicted by Vermeer & Rahmstorf (2009) for the 21st Century as a consequence of global warming. They argue that the 1930s acceleration minimum calls into question the semi-empirical link between global temperature and global sea level proposed by us in that paper. However, it is clear they never bothered to check this, because quite the opposite is the case: our semi-empirical formula predicts this acceleration minimum, as the graph above shows. As it turns out, this is an expected outcome of the mid-20th-Century plateau in global temperature.
If one subtracts out the non-climatic sea level change due to water stored in artificial reservoirs on land, as we did in Vermeer & Rahmstorf (2009), then the agreement between the acceleration curve predicted from global temperature with the actually observed curve is even better (graph below). Thus, the 1930s acceleration minimum pointed out by Houston & Dean supports our approach and projections rather than challenging them.

text: Hi. I'm not sure who or where I'd ask because I'm not very active with the 501st or "in the know" when it comes to what makes a character official. However, I was wondering if this version of Boba would be a potential candidate for 501st acceptance based on the few reference pics that have been released? Reason I ask is because my son (who is now 16 and probably 2-3" taller than me) showed some interest in possibly building and trooping in this suit. So any insight from those who know these things would be appreciated.

Uncertainty persists over star pitcher Darvish
Major League Baseball is still waiting on star Japanese right-hander Yu Darvish, and some around the game are beginning to question whether he will even be available for the 2012 season.
The Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters — Darvish's current team — were expected to announce after the Japan World Series whether Darvish would be posted for MLB clubs. But the Japan Series ended about a week ago, and there has been no word from the club.
One source with close knowledge of Darvish's thinking said Friday afternoon it remains "more likely than not" that the right-hander will come to the major leagues in 2012. The source added that there has been no deadline placed on the posting decision.
But consider the timeline of Daisuke Matsuzaka's posting after the 2006 season. About six weeks passed between his posting and the signing of his contract with the Boston Red Sox. If Darvish's process is of similar length, he won't sign with an MLB team until the middle of January. And that's probably the best-case scenario.
Darvish's status could affect the plans of the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox, both of whom are in the market for starting pitching. The general managers of the Texas Rangers and Toronto Blue Jays scouted Darvish in person this season.
— Jon Paul Morosi
It would seem to me that it would be in Darvish's best financial interests to declare asap. He might wait too long and teams cannot wait forever, and would be forced to fill their rosters
It's not just up to him this year. He won't become a free agent in Japan until next year. His team has to post him, and they stand to lose him next year either way, but they are trying to resign him as well.
The posting fee would give his team some compensation in the event that he chooses to leave on his own next year.

Annoying Communication?
Posted 31 December 2012 - 09:47 PM
So whenever someone yells out a position, I always echoe it out of habit and to help out my team. My question is, in recball, do people find it annoying? Im not obnoxious about it, I mostly mirror it once, but I feel other recballers find it annoying or dont take me seriously because im only 15.

But when you yell tag and charge someone they tend to give up fairly easily
Posted 02 January 2013 - 08:45 AM
But since you say they are experienced, you might just need to deal with it for the game. Perhaps you can talk to them off field so they understand that you have to play as a team to win games.
Also, they really don't take you serious cause your 15? That's just strange to me cause as long as I am wearing paintball pants, and wearing a good mask, recballers tend to think I am a pro, (but I'm 18, and always bring my regular marker along with my pump to play recball) but that's a whole different conversation. They are probably just ageist older guys who think that if you are under 18, you aren't qualified enough to know what you are talking about.
Be calm with them, be understanding to their lack of knowledge/communication.
Play on.
Posted 02 January 2013 - 09:11 AM
Since I don't see a downside to doing so, I'm constantly calling out the other team's positions. Either my teammates will get smart and listen, or fail on their own accord.
It's up to them how they want to play this game. No skin off my nose.
BST Feedback 21/0/0
Posted 02 January 2013 - 11:05 AM
I do enough barking orders on the field, so I like being the guy that does what needs to be done in recball. When someone says "We need someone... to go over there... and do __________" I usually will volunteer
I always felt it earns a ton of respect at the field by the other players, when you are the one who is willing to step forward and get it done for the game.
It doesn't matter if they need me to sprint to the 50 and try to snatch the flag first, or go into the thick woods to hold off a push, or go down a trail, etc
In recball, for me, one of the biggest parts of playing recball is earning the respect of the players around you. When someone is attempting to "take charge" before the game starts, it certainly goes a long way in the eyes of your teammates and that person, when you volunteer to do something that is being asked.
I know everyone likes to be a chief, but there is nothing wrong with being an indian for a few games for the sake of competition

I tell my teammates close to me, since it is woodsball and if I yell it out the enemy is gonna disappear in a heartbeat, and we all take different routes around.
During that process, we all communicate with close by members to of nearby enemies that were not seen before.
But most of the time we charge in and yell like maniacs and the people in the sidelines are shaking their head laughing in shame.

My Russian Commercial Mak trigger guard is flush to the frame so I field stripped mine to see what could cause that. There's just not much in that trigger guard area to get in the way except the trigger itself and I don't see how that could cause your your problem. The trigger guard spring and plug may be the problem because that spring does apply a lot of tension. There is a parts list and schematic here: PARTS LIST - MAKAROV Accessories | Numrich Gun Parts
Hope that helps.

Haven't been on here for ages and still catching up with all the cool builds that people have been creating.
Here's one that I've just completed for a guy in the UK.
This is a Zuckuss upgrade. After discussing what he wanted we decided to go for Zuckuss with air-con, a breather bottle that doubles as a drinks bottle and ditched the bubble wrap eyes, like in the original, for glass/acrylic ones. At least you can actually see through these ones. The hoses are attached with rare earth magnets so they can be removed very easily when trooping. All the metal work is aluminium resin and the aircon is supplied by two fans venting out of the holes at the rear.
Here's a vid-

Tuesday August 6th, 2013 1:06am
Fairfield University head men's lacrosse coach Andy Copelan announced Wednesday the addition of Colin Hulme as the newest member of the Stags coaching staff. In his role, Hulme will serve as the defensive coordinator, while assisting with recruiting, game planning and day-to-day operations of the program.
"We're excited to welcome Colin Hulme and his wife, Tara to the Fairfield community," Copelan said. "Colin is driven, motivated and hungry to help continue the ascent of Fairfield lacrosse. He has a great balance of knowledge, passion and overall competitiveness that will be a great asset to our program."
Hulme comes to Fairfield after a four-year stint as the primary defensive coach at the University of Vermont. During his tenure he helped the Catamounts to a national scoring defense ranking of 25th in 2011, a year after coaching the squad to a NCAA ranking of 14th in man-down defense. Hulme had a role in recruiting the 2010 America East Rookie of the Year, and four All-Rookie Team members, and in 2011 coached a pair of All-America East defenders.
Prior to joining the Catamount's coaching staff, Hulme spent 2007-08 as an assistant coach at The College of the Holy Cross. There he served as the program's recruiting coordinator and was the Crusaders primary defensive coach.
Hulme graduated from Colgate University in 2007 with a degree in Sociology & Anthropology. He was a four-year starter for the Raiders lacrosse team, and was twice named a USILA All-America. As a team captain in 2007, Hulme was named the Patriot League Defensive Player of the Year and First-Team All-Patriot League. He was also named a 2007 NSCA Strength and Conditioning All-America.
Following his career at Colgate, Hulme was drafted in the second round, the1 6th overall pick, of the 2007 MLL Collegiate Draft by the San Francisco Dragons. He started nine games for the club in his rookie season at defense. Hulme then spent two seasons with the Boston Cannons, playing every game in 2008 at short-stick defensive middie, and played both defense and short-stick in 2009.
With the addition of Hulme, Copelan has his staff complete for the 2013 season and the Stags have already begun fall practice.
"Turning over two full time assistants the same summer is a difficult task," said Copelan, "but I'm very pleased with the new group that we've assembled."
The Stags are coming off of the best season in program history. Fairfield went 12-4 overall and advanced to the championship game of the ECAC Lacrosse League tournament for the second time in as many seasons, where they fell to the eventual national champion.


text: We scored less in the entire second half than we did the 1st quarter. Much to my dismay, I started watching at halftime. The Pistons couldn't get anything going. Nobody on the team seemed to try, or care. It was down right embarrassing. They couldn't stop an 8 year old girl. There's nothing the coach can do if Orlando can repeatedly score easy layups on 1-on-3 fastbreaks. Traffic cones would've done a better job defending the paint. The only player that attempted to play defense was Drummond. CV got some burn and it was just as horrid as I remembered. Stuckey was also painful to watch. We really don't have any point guards on this team. We just have a bunch of combo guards who can't shoot. The thing that worries me the most is Monroe's turning into a large Carmelo Anthony. He gets his numbers but it doesn't really help his team win.

I was wondering if anyone available could be kind and generous enough to allow me to experience the gameplay of Dungeon Runners. I tried looking around to see if I could get an account by paying money or buying the game some how but I'm guessing it's in Beta or something? but if anyone could kindly invite me into the game I'd greatly appreciate it. Thank you very much!

text: I believe Tom Gores not only purchased the Pistons, but also the whole entertainment portfolio from the Davidson's. With the exception of the JD, the coaching/training staff what other Piston expenses is Gores on the hook for if there is no season? It's possible he loses less if there is no season.. I have to assume the Pistons wouldn't have been a very good team translating into very few, if any, sell outs. This might be an example of addition by subtraction. Man I would really like to get my hands on last year's cash flow statement, balance sheet, etc.. Of course, I would have been in line behind the players/agents..

Everyone needs something to believe in, otherwise that's not really living, it's just existing. My guess is that most people need some form of higher power, like a parent, to guide them. It could just be human nature to feel that way. Look at all the people that believe the world is ran by some super elite council like the illuminati.
God(s) can serve as good place holders for when someone has nothing, and they feel like they still something.

@ starry - Flack schmack. That's awesome. I was interested in being a law student for awhile too, and intellectual property was one of my favorite topics. Gotta agree with you. I just don't think that N*ntendo would have the copyrights on the items, or the collection of items, and in a court of law it just wouldn't hold up. Beyond that, knowing how much of a gray area this is, I don't think that they would even bother with a lawsuit. It'd be a huge waste of time. Lots of publicity for woot though...
...and glad you like my work. I like yours too. ;)
@ Leet & Moth, rmb - Thanks!
@ furaeon - Everytime I go to a beach souvenir shop, I'm reminded of LoZ because of the little bottles, and the keys, and the cheap gems, and the little wooden pirate swords. I still don't think that N*ntendo holds the copyright on the items, or the collection of items.
@ Bluejester - Hopefully if it wins it'll hang around for a little while, so there's no rush to buy it. ;)
@ Zenverse - Thanks! That's what I was going for. It's not only a loosely referenced LoZ shirt, but Kind of the flagship shirt for the birth of the genre inspired by LoZ.

Hi everyone
I'm pretty new to Boba Fett costuming. Just wanted to show off some pics of my friends helmet I'm working on just to see if I'm on the right track. So far, I've spent 1 1/2 weeks off and on on this.
I plan on using what tricks I've learned with his on my helmet (as soon as I get it in the mail). Scratches aren't accurate, but I've been trying to copy the Steve the Swede tuturial (which is hella difficult).
I did a ANH Stormtrooper, but Boba's helluva lot more work...
Check 'em out:
Here's how the helmet looked when we got it.
Here's how they looked back on Thursday
Here's how it looks right now
Still a LONG way to go, but hopefully I'm on the right track.

WSJ Forgets GOP Taking Debt Ceiling Hostage
Blog ››› ››› HANNAH GROCH-BEGLEY
The Wall Street Journal promoted Republican revisionist history portraying previous debt ceiling negotiations as bipartisan, ignoring the Republican obstructionism that led to the 2011 debt ceiling crisis.
If Congress is unable to raise the U.S. debt ceiling -- which allows Congress to pay for past spending -- much of the government will shut down by October 1, and by mid-October, the Treasury Department will lose the ability to pay its debts, thereby hurting the economy. Divisions among House Republicans have stalled efforts to pass the necessary legislation, with many insisting on significant cuts to government spending and delaying President Obama's health care law.
On September 12, the Journal reported Speaker of the House John Boehner's response to the administration's refusal to negotiate on these "nonstarter" proposals, claiming it was a departure from "decades" of previous negotiations that found "bipartisan solutions":
Congress faces a deadline in mid-October to pass legislation that would raise the debt limit. Mr. Obama has said he would refuse to negotiate with Republicans on terms for raising the borrowing limit and that Congress must allow the Treasury to pay for spending already approved by lawmakers.
But Mr. Boehner (R., Ohio) told reporters Thursday that stance was a departure from numerous precedents, in which the White House and Congress agreed to budget changes in exchange for a debt-limit increase.
"For decades, the White House, the Congress have used the debt limit to find bipartisan solutions on the deficit and the debt," Mr. Boehner said, alluding to deficit-reduction deals passed under former presidents Bill Clinton and George H.W. Bush, among others. "So, President Obama is going to have to deal with this, as well."
The Journal failed to note that Boehner's rosy painting of history hid the unprecedented crisis of August 2011 caused by Republican obstructionism. Raising the debt ceiling had been a routine procedure until then, when Republicans held the economy hostage by threatening not to support any increase without equal amounts of spending cuts. Economists at the time cautioned that failing to raise the debt ceiling would be catastrophic for the U.S. and world economies, and a June 2011 letter to congressional leaders signed by 235 prominent economists warned:
Failure to increase the debt limit sufficiently to accommodate existing U.S. laws and obligations also could undermine trust in the full faith and credit of the United States government, with potentially grave long-term consequences. This loss of trust could translate into higher interest rates not only for the federal government, but also for U.S. businesses and consumers, causing all to pay higher prices for credit. Economic growth and jobs would suffer as a result.
Obama ultimately signed a bill that averted the crisis, ending the "bitter partisan stalemate that had threatened to plunge the nation into default and destabilize the world economy."

Hello. I am in desperate need of some help. I recently started a new career in this ESL. I am finding it difficult to get my students to open up and start speaking. I know they have the vocabulary in their heads. But, how do I get it from their heads to their mouths.. without spoon feeding them... My class size is 30. The ages are 17-19.. most have just the basic english abilities.. Hello, my name is, how are you etc...
I have tried.. video, improvisations, role play, IDIOMS, random speaking.. it just seems like all they want to do is say.. I like to play video games.. or I like to go shopping.. I cannot get them to be creative with their speaking.
I would greatly appreciate some advice on what am I doing wrong.. I just cannot get them to speak... it seems with each lesson.. I think is good.. I end up doing most of the talking..and then they get bored and turn off. I am becoming just as frustrated as they are. How do you get the students to speak... what does the term ORAL ENGLISH mean... how do I prepare a lesson for ORAL ENGLISH.

As bass said, Travis explained that the HM's were assigned first. Some time after that as a spur of the moment thing, they decided to do a special print run.
They didn't think it was fair to eliminate it from the double take because it was not given a full print run. It was a special side print and therefore not eligible for the reckoning.
I really don't see any problem with woot's inclusion of the design in the double take and a certainly don't see anything wrong with bass keeping it in the running. She went above and beyond with this design which is really commendable.

I REALLY thought this design would be in the Fog and possibly print this Double Take with the amount of support it received in its previous derby. As I stated on Tilteed, Kev, I really hope this robot gets printed sometime in the future. This was the most popular he's been so I thought it had a chance. I suppose it might still receive an honorable mention. I also hope Adder's comments there are foreshadowing for either this design or one of your robot designs to print in the future.
P.S. - I've been busy the past few derbies so was unable to really comment or discuss as much but I did vote for the robot designs you submitted. "Acquired Taste" and the cyber punk one are all I remember, but I must ask... Has our/your little robot put on some pounds?

Tennessean alt-rock group comprised of three brothers and a cousin. The Kings Of Leon take their titles very seriously, producing country-laden rock'n'roll with hints of blues and boogie-woogie. Brought up in the Deep South and having spent most of their childhood's travelling, the Kings Of Leon (whose name comes from the brothers' father and grandfather) have a deep, drawling, rootsy sound and a suitable legacy to match.

I don't ever think i've seen a band work so hard! Caleb was dripping after about the 3rd song. It was SO HOT in the arena but it didn't phaze the band who went on to play a jaw-dropping set!
Glasvegas weren't as impressive, which was a shame :( but hey!… (cont'd) Pip
