Information For...
Why Should I See an Advisor?
Advising Questions
Who is my academic advisor? Where do I go for advising?
Your academic advisor's information can be found on MySPC, under the "Student,"tab. When you click on your advisor's name, an advisor list opens that gives you their office location, number and email address. Your advisor is assigned to you based on the major you listed at the time of application.
If your major has changed, you can contact the Advising Center to make changes.
If you are unable to reach your advisor, you can also visit one of the Counseling Centers for assistance.
I already know what classes I need to take, so why does CampusConnect tell me I have to see my advisor before I can register for classes?
There are several reasons why your advisor wants to see you before you finalize your schedule, including:
-You are TSI-deficient in one or more areas, so you need to enroll in at least one developmental class
-You are in your first semester of classes at SPC
-You are on academic probation
SPC's faculty and staff have tracked student groups for several years, and we have data to show that these measures improve course completion, GPA, and retention to the next semester for our students.
How do I prepare for an academic advising appointment?
Your advisor is available to assist you in reaching your educational goals at South Plains College. Be ready to discuss your academic plans, including how many semesters you want to attend SPC, how many hours you work, family obligations, financial considerations, all of these topics will help you and your advisor determine the best semester-by-semester plan for you.
How do I make my conversation with my advisor a success?
First, be sure to schedule an appointment; while advisors have office hours, they want adequate time to prepare for your visit, too.
Second, bring any information with you that will assist your advisor, such as
-Tentative list of classes you want to take a list of any questions you have
-Your copy of the SPC catalog
-If this is not your first visit with your advisor, bring any materials used from previous sessions
-If you have changed majors, bring any materials you obtained from your previous advisor
Third, be on time for your appointment. Just as your time is important, so is your advisor's.
When should I contact my advisor?
The best time to contact your advisor is early in each semester, as the weeks surrounding registration tend to be very busy. Optimally, you should contact your advisor once you are admitted to South Plains College.
Other times to visit your advisor include:
-You have questions concerning your academic performance in a class and progress toward your degree.
-You are considering selecting or changing your major. Speak with your current advisor and an advisor in the other department.
-You need advice about adding, dropping, or withdrawing from a class.
-You are concerned about your study habits or are struggling with your coursework.
-You are on SPC Academic Probation. Visit your advisor so that you understand all of the SPC policies regarding academic probation.
-You want to discuss career opportunities or transfer.
-You have not met any areas of TSI compliance.
-You are getting ready to graduate. You should do this BEFORE your last semester to ensure time to complete a degree plan audit and understand the graduation procedures.
-You will not be attending school during the semester for a long period of time. Your advisor can suggest a course of action based on your circumstances.
-You have questions about SPC policies and procedures.
-You have any other questions, comments, or concerns!

Does anyone have plans or a print out stencil for making ammo pouches?

Does anyone have plans or a print out stencil for making ammo pouches?
http://www.bradleyfett.com/images/AMMOpouch2.gif this is from BYOBF site hope this helps.
go to www.jedi-academy.com , then costuming tips, then boba fett, them ammo belt ( or something like that) and there is a pouch pattern. if you go to the other guys way of doing the pouches on that site, there is an even better pattern with a place to slide a belt through.
if this made no sense, let me know and i will put it in better words.
I'll just simplify budgetboba's instuctions, here's the direct link to the pattern:
Thanks, I found it. What kind of leather do you suggest? And Im no good at sewing, can this be glued together and still look good?
I bought a yard of vinyl from a fabric store, cut it out using a pattern that I made (didn't know about the one at Obi-Wan's), and glued it together using Aleene's fabric glue from Walmart (craft section). I used foamcore as a "skeleton" to give the vinyl shape and make it sturdier. Then I used the same fabric glue to attach industrial Velcro to the underside of the flaps and to the front pieces of the pouches.
I can't sew worth crap either, but I sewed "decorative stitching" around the edges of the flaps. It's totally non-functional, but it gives an illusion. I'm just telling myself that Fett probably couldn't sew that well either, and that he made these himself (yeah, he'd probably commission someone to make them FOR him, but that's not MY story). ;)
So one yard is enough for 7 pouches?
I bought 1 yard (36" X 60"). Not only did I have enought to make the eight pouches, but I have a LOT left over! :)
Is there anyone here who could host some pics of my ammo belt for this thread? I did my Boba Fett ammo pouches out of vinyl, and I think they turned out pretty good for a first try. I'll explain them more if I can get the pics hosted. Thanks!
so how much did it cost total and where do u get foamcore?
FettHunter, Nice job!
I made mine with project boxes from Radio Shack and vinyl. The boxes give the boxes a little shape, but the same line as yours.
Im thinking of taking little plastic boxes, maybe pencil boxes and just gluing the vinyl right to that, that way its functional and keeps it's shape forever.
I made my pouches out of metal (they are REALLY heavy), then covered them with vinyl. bfett81 and MB are the only ones who have seen the pics. If someone wouldn't mind hosting them, I'd love to know what everyone else thinks about them.
PK: Foamcore is available at almost any craft store. I happened to buy mine at Office Depot in the "presentations" section (where the easels and projectors are). I bought 3 huge sheets (30" X 40" I think) of it in a pack for about $13.00. I probably used about $1.00 worth of it for the pouches.
I probably used $2.50 worth of my vinyl making the pouches. I could have bought cheaper vinyl than $5.00/yard, but I liked the way this vinyl looked.
I'd say I did all 8 pouches, minus the belt, for under, or right at, $5.00.
Jedi-Bob: Thanks for the compliment! The guys at Radio Shack know me by name! (I'm NOT a geek! well, ok... MAYBE I am... a LITTLE)... ;) I never considered using project boxes. They're more durable than foamcore, but hopefully mine won't have to endure anything too drastic. :)
Gah, I went to Wal Mart and Hobby Lobby and couldnt find any vinyl, so I'm just going to use some brown foam sheets for now, temporary belt.
you can buy vinyl at any fabric store, or should, i have three by me and all three carry it in different colors. :wacko
bah, go figure. ^_^;
I just got back from a vacation in florida and while there, I was at a flea market where I found some glasses cases. I got all 8 for $15. They are about twice as tall as the real pouches, so I'm gonna change them a little. THey are a perfect width, a great color, and functional though.

Here is what id like to do.
I have a text file and in it i keep commands that i use often. Each of the commands typically has a variable to it .. i.e the MAC addy
I have multiple routers so everytime i switch to another one i need to copy in the mac for each command. Thats like 20 different times i need to paste each MAC
How would i write a small script that would ask me for variableA, VariableB etc... and then paste my input into the text file where i put [VariableA] .. [VariableB] .. then save
Yes i have different docs saved with the separate mac so honestly this is rather pointless but im more or less using it as a learning experience. Then hopefully using that knowledge to make a couple automated tools so if you also know how to run a command as a separate process ... or wait for a command to finish before executing another one that would be a big help
Before you go yelling at me about searching .. yes i have for well over an hour ... but i think im searching for the wrong thing
Thank You

text: I have had my 2012 3.6 coupe (performance package) for several months now. Absolutely love the car:thumbsup:. However, the front wheels get very dirty in a short period of time from the heavy duty factory brake pads:(. I had a similar problem with my C6 with Z51 option and solved it with some quality ceramic brake pads. The CTS coupe is a daily driver. I can not find anyone that makes ceramic pads for the heavy duty brakes on the 3.6 CTS. (Auto Zone, Pep Boys, O Reilly's, Tire Rack, etc.) They all sell a semi metallic pad only for the heavy duty brake option. However, the ceramic brake pads are available for the standard brake package from several of the various manufacturers. Since it appears that no one makes ceramic brakes for the heavy duty brakes, is there a semi metallic pad that does not dust as bad as the factory pads?

Hello all.
New to the board and costuming. Not had a chance to fully look around yet - but what I've seen so far is really cool - Very nice site!!
Was a Star Wars fan in my youth and my interest has been rekindled as of late with watching the movies again.. and again... and again with my two boys (ages 2 and 4.5) they can't seem to get enough. I've been toying around with the idea of making my first set of armor so I have been looking around the net and getting some ideas, a lot of it from TK sites. I think I'd like to take a stab at making a set of fett armor as he's always been one of my favorites.
This site looks to be a great, if not the best, source of information - hopefully I can add something along the way.

DevOps is a movement for developers and operations professionals that encourages more collaboration and release automation. Why? To keep up with the faster application delivery pace of Agile. In fact, with Agile, as development teams deliver faster and in shorter cycles, IT operations finds itself unprepared to keep up with the new pace. For operations teams, managing a continuous stream of software delivery with traditional manual-based processes is Mission Impossible. Vendors have responded to DevOps requirements with more automation in their release management, delivery, and deployment tools. However, there is a key process that sits between development and operations that seems to have been given little attention: testing.
In fact, some key testing activities, like integration testing and end-to-end performance testing, are caught right in the middle of the handover process between development and operations. In the Agile and Lean playbook, I've dedicated my latest research precisely to Agile testing, because I've seen testing as the black beast in many transformations to Agile because it was initially ignored.

Annapolis, Md. -- Paced by a balanced offensive attack that featured seven different goal scorers, the Navy women's lacrosse team (1-0) opened its 2011 season with a decisive 14-4 win over Mount St. Mary's (0-1) at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium on Friday evening.
Navy jumped out to an 8-0 lead in the first half and played solid defense to take a 9-1 lead into the locker room. The Mids then outscored the Mountaineers 5-3 in the second half to post the 14-4 win.
"We are really proud of the efforts of our players and are happy with the result," head coach Cindy Timchal said. "We played great defense in the first half and we also had the opportunity to get a lot of players into the game and test their abilities."
Freshman attack Aimee Gennaro scored a game-high four goals in her collegiate debut and added an assist for five points.
"We have been so consistent every day with the pressure of our play in practice that it really carried over to the game today," said Gennaro. "I have been dreaming of playing my first college game for years now and it was a blast to finally step on the field."
Sophomore attack Jasmine DePompeo added three goals and two assists to share the team-lead of five points with Gennaro. Senior attack Katrina Nietsch added two goals, two assists and a pair of ground balls.
The Mids were all over the Mountaineers right out of the gates as sophomore Kathy Young netted the first goal of the year just 1:07 into the contest. A little over a minute later, Nietsch added her first goal, followed by a Gennaro strike.
DePompeo added a goal at 25:09 and it took Navy just nine seconds to add their fifth as sophomore Jen Eikenberg claimed the ensuing draw control and fed senior Lexi Dauernheim who stormed in for a goal.
After just five minutes of play, it was Navy in the lead, 5-0.
A second goal from Gennaro off an assist from Nietsch would push the lead to 6-0 before freshman Molly Hamilton netted her first collegiate goal. DePompeo added her second goal of the game a minute later and the rout was on as Navy led 8-0.
The Mount's Nicole Price broke up the shutout with eight minutes to go in the first half but Hamilton added another goal for Navy and the Mids took a 9-1 lead into the break.
Price netted her second in early in the first half, but Navy would regroup to scored five straight goals to push the lead to 14-2. Included in the spurt was a beautiful long pass from senior Caitlin Mandrin Hill to DePompeo for a goal.
Esther Rufolo scored the game's final two goals for Mount St. Mary's.
Junior goalie Elaina Ponchione was solid in net for the Mids, playing the first 45 minutes of the game and making nine saves. Ponchione was especially strong against the Mount during free position shots, helping to force her opponents to go 0-for-7 from the 8-meter mark in the game.
Mandrin Hill had a game-high three assists and four draw controls and became Navy's all-time leader in games played (57).
Junior Kierstin King added two caused turnovers and two ground balls. Sophomore Claire Olechowski added three ground balls and a caused turnover.
Freshman Jill Coughlin also netted a goal in her Navy debut.
Draw controls were even at 10-10 and Navy held a slight advantage in ground balls (21-18).
The Mids will next host Ohio State on Friday night at 7 pm.
"We have a lot of things we still need to work on but this is a good opportunity to step up against a big time program in Ohio State," Timchal said.

Tired of reading HTML books that only make sense after you're an expert? Then it's about time you picked up Head First HTML with CSS & XHTML and really learned HTML. You want to learn HTML so you can finally create those web pages you've always wanted, so you can communicate more effectively with friends, family, fans, and fanatic customers. You also want to do it right so you can actually maintain and expand your Web pages over time, and so your web pages work in all the browsers and mobile devices out there. Oh, and if you've never heard of CSS, that's okay - we won't tell anyone you're still partying like it's 1999 - but if you're going to create Web pages in the 21st century then you'll want to know and understand CSS.
Learn the real secrets of creating Web pages, and why everything your boss told you about HTML tables is probably wrong (and what to do instead). Most importantly, hold your own with your co-worker (and impress cocktail party guests) when he casually mentions how his HTML is now strict, and his CSS is in an external style sheet.
With Head First HTML with CSS & XHTML, you'll avoid the embarrassment of thinking web-safe colors still matter, and the foolishness of slipping a font tag into your pages. Best of all, you'll learn HTML and CSS in a way that won't put you to sleep. If you've read a Head First book, you know what to expect: a visually-rich format designed for the way your brain works. Using the latest research in neurobiology, cognitive science, and learning theory, this book will load HTML, CSS, and XHTML into your brain in a way that sticks.
So what are you waiting for? Leave those other dusty books behind and come join us in Webville. Your tour is about to begin.
"Elegant design is at the core of every chapter here, each conceptconveyed with equal doses of pragmatism and wit."--Ken Goldstein, Executive Vice President, Disney Online
"This book is a thoroughly modern introduction to forward-lookingpractices in web page markup and presentation."--Danny Goodman, author of Dynamic HTML: The Definitive Guide
"What used to be a long trial and error learning process hasnow been reduced neatly into an engaging paperback."--Mike Davidson, CEO, Newsvine, Inc.
"I love Head First HTML with CSS & XHTML--itteaches you everything you need to learn in a 'fun coated' format!"--Sally Applin, UI Designer and Artist
"I haven't had as much fun reading a book (other than Harry Potter) in years. And your book finally helped me break out of my hapless so-last-century way of creating web pages."--Professor David M. Arnow, Department of Computer and Information Science, Brooklyn College
"If you've ever had a family member who wanted you to design a website for them, buy them Head First HTML with CSS and XHTML. If you've ever asked a family member to design you a web site, buy this book. If you've ever bought an HTML book and ended up using it to level your desk, or for kindling on a cold winter day, buy this book. This is the book you've been waiting for. This is the learning system you've been waiting for."--Warren Kelly, Blogcritics.org

Eric Freeman is a computer scientist with a passion for media and software architectures and coauthor of Head First Design Patterns. He just wrapped up four years at a dream job-- directing internet broadband and wireless efforts at Disney--and is now back to writing, creating cool software, and hacking Java and Macs.Eric spent a lot of the '90s working on alternatives to the desktop metaphor with David Gelernter (and they're both still asking the question, "Why do I have to give a file a name?"). Based on this work, Eric landed a Ph.D. at Yale University in 1997. He also co-founded Mirror Worlds Technologies (now acquired) to create a commercial version of his thesis work, Lifestreams. In a previous life, Eric built software for networks and supercomputers. You might know him from such books as JavaSpaces Principles Patterns and Practice. Eric has fond memories of implementing tuple-space systems on Thinking Machine CM-5s and creating some of the first internet information systems for NASA in the late 1980s. When he's not writing text or code you'll find him spending more time tweaking than watching his home theater and trying to restore a circa 1980s Dragon's Lair video game. He also wouldn't mind moonlighting as an electronica DJ. Write to him at eric at wickedlysmart dot com or visit him at http://www.ericfreeman.com .

Comments about oreilly Head First HTML with CSS & XHTML:
I paid something around $40 for this book. I'm 256 pages into it, and I'm honestly very disappointed.While I'm just starting on the CSS section, what you get out of the HTML section is incredibly skimpy, and could have been concisely summarized in 10 pages (maybe even less) of text. It seems to be me this book is mostly filler, and you're getting very little information for a whooping $40 dollars.I don't recommend this book, and I regret buying it because it's far too over priced for what you get out of it and it's mostly filler (thus far), so you end wasting time reading text that serves little purpose. I do believe this book would be great for children interested in learning HTML. That's about it.I cannot stress on just how much time wasting filler there is!!
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Good Introductory Manual
By TATWORTH
from Cheshire, England
I wish this book had been available to me years ago when I was learning CSS. It is an excellent book for getting an initial grounding in the use of CSS. I would therefore recommend it to all starting out with HTML/CSS.It is not a complete manual of CSS but it does provide the essential initial understanding. Any IT team wishing to retrain people into web applications, should use this book as a first step in the training process. By following the exercises, any developer should get the initial experiance in the use of CSS to style HTML.There are some typographic errors acknowledged in the errata and the published would be well advised to produce a corrected edition.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great introduction to HTML

About Me Soon to be developer
Really great introduction to HTML, i've been trying to learn HTML and CSS over the last 2-3 years using online tutorials, but every time i try i lose interest and stop reading after 1-2 lessons.But this book is fun and educational at the same time. The combination of fun and exercise made this book something special, i've read start to end faster then any other book i've ever read.The only thing that could be better, would be a secound edition, that has been updated, since the book is kind of old now.
yah, it is good

Head First HTML with CSS and XHTML
By Jody Raines
from New Jersey
About Me Developer
HTML is the language of the web, and it's practically impossible to send out an eNewsletter without knowing a 'bit' of code.Understanding how HTML and CSS and XHTML work together, and how to create a website that's in accordance with web standards eludes even some of the best web developers! This easy to understand book covers not just the basics, but also some of the more complex idiosyncrasies of the language of the web in a way that makes these geeky concepts understandable.Three reasons I'd recommend this book. First, it's a great overview, clearly written and easy to read. Second the graphics are fun and humorous. And third, it's accurate and well organized.I wasn't sure at first whether the topic would prove too elementary, or the principles too basic, but I was really surprised to find that the tone and pace was really enjoyable.
The authors have a sense of humor, and the graphics not only demonstrate the point, they do so in imaginative ways. Like the argument between jpeg and gif, staged as if they are two people having an argument about their relative strengths and weaknesses. Especially for folks new to the web world, the choice of gif or jpeg is sure to be a mystery that the Freemans unravel with warmth and humor.Headfirst HTML with CSS and XHTML is a great primer for business owners, who like to be hands-on and who have more than a passing interest in how their website is built, for marketers who must interface with the Tech Guys and want to know how the web was won, and for web developers who think they understand it, but just want to fill in the gaps. Even the old hands at web design may find a thing or two they thought they knew explained in a refreshing manner that could potentially help them explain the concept to their non-techy counterparts.
A definite must own that I'll be sharing with new hires. Great investment.Disclaimer: I received a downloaded copy of this book for review purposes.

Just Fantastic!!
By Zaphod
from Austin, TX
I've basically been cheating for years using Golive and Dreamweaver to write code I was entirely too lazy to fully learn. I of course ended up picking most of it up when I've have to "fix" issues that would come up with the sites I built. I've been moving to drupal and in order to do custom designed sites I actually, really needed to finish learning Proper HTML and CSS.... and PHP which I'm working on now. There's one complaint that the book is written for a 6 year old but it really isn't. it does a great job or reinforcing everything you learn along the way. I spent the better part of a week and a half slamming through I think the close to 600 pages. If you don't know squat about HTML and CSS this book is terrific.... if you were half way there already and wanted to correct your bad habits by actually.... finally... knowing what you were doing.... This is still a great book. I highly recommend it.

East India Cafe
ready to open
East India Café is scheduled to open on March 13 in the former Pagoda restaurant at 26 E St. in the Avenues neighborhood of Salt Lake City. The café, inspired by the original East India Trading Co. that set sail in search of silk and spices, will feature mahogany accents set in the 1920s British-India era. An open house with tea and snacks will be held from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. on March 13. Dinner service will be available.
Marketing firm
gets new name
Integrated Marketing Group, Salt Lake City, has changed its name to BrandHive. Owners Jeff Hilton and Matt Aller said the rebranding effort is a reflection of the agency's renewed dedication to the collaboration among its staff as they seek to produce results for their clients, which include natural product companies.
McDonald's sales
fell in February
McDonald's said its new Fish McBites failed to draw enough customers to grow U.S. sales in February. The company said a key sales figure fell 3.3 percent in the U.S. last month. When excluding the impact of an extra day in February of last year, the company said sales were flat. The figure rose 11.1 percent a year ago.
U.S. wholesale
stockpiles rise
U.S. wholesalers boosted their stockpiles by 1.2 percent in January, the largest amount in 13 months even though their sales dropped 0.8 percent. The rise in stockpiles was led by a 3.4 percent gain in lumber inventories, a sign that building supply stores are expecting increased home construction. Increased stockpiling supports economic growth by triggering greater factory production.
Top Walmart
exec to leave
Walmart said Leslie Dach, who played a pivotal role in reinventing and improving the image of the world's largest retailer in the face of mounting attacks by labor groups, is leaving the company in June. Dach was named executive vice president of corporate affairs in August 2006 as anti-Walmart attacks reached a feverish pitch on all fronts.
Pump makers
OKs $3.7B sale
Industrial pump maker Gardner Denver agreed to sell itself to Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. for about $3.7 billion. The investment firm will acquire the company for $76 per share, a 39 percent premium over Gardner's closing stock price on Oct. 24, the day before it announced it was for sale.
Google settles
Wi-Fi case
Google will pay $7 million to settle a multistate probe that looked into its collection of emails, passwords and other data from unprotected home Wi-Fi networks throughout the country several years ago. The case dates back to 2010 when it revealed company cars taking street-level photos also collected the personal information.

text: Just FYI:I'm going to experiment this winter and build a heated container for 5 of my strongest hives, and actually maintain heat for these five hives, in an effort to keep the hive building brood all winter long. Hopefully, I can make some multiple splits for next spring and get a jump on 2008. It's going to be something very simple, and just maintain the temp so the bees don't ball, and the temp doesn't drop very low. Hopefully it'll boost my splits and queen rearing for next year. I'll post and let everyone know how it goes. Steve

Ok, as all potential Jango's have this problem I reckon, I'm asking for some help in sourcing a reasonably accurate or as close as pair of boots / shoes to complete my Jango. I know that there have been a few runs done of screen accurate copies but, only problem is Im Scottish and therefore wont pay $250+ for a pair of boots for trooping in!
Come on guys, what types / brands are acceptable? Really need some TDH assistance on this one!

Mark,did you get my email yet? That pic I sent you was huge,but gives great detail,especially of the left gauntlet at the rear most part of it.
Mark,did you get my email yet? That pic I sent you was huge,but gives great detail,especially of the left gauntlet at the rear most part of it.
Pm'd ya at the RPF site. I got the photo and that is one I've been working off of. All tolled there is only 4 pics of any use for this. Most are at the beginning of this thread too. If there were two black brackets the cylinders behind the silver stepped bracket would have to be shortened and that contradicts the other pics. As well The silver/white buttons/caps that are similar to the collar studs are elongated and go almost the length of the endcap. If there were another black bracket they would be bridging the endcap and bracket. That and there appears to be a white stripe on both sides of the endcap in the pic that we are discussing, what's up with that? Let me try to highlight and make some diagrams as well using the other pics in conjunction with yours. -Mark
I think I figured it out DL44. What you are seeing is a protrusion from the side of the endcap and not a seperate bracket. The angled section you highlighted in the pic is a shadow created by the protrusion. It's kind of a tab sticking out from the side. More than likely used to help mount it to the gauntlet. You can barely make it out in the B&W production stills from the same day of shooting on the Star Destroyer bridge. I'll try and update my drawing to reflect what I'm talking about. I've tried highlighting it in Photoshop but it is so small and blurry it's hard to make out.-Mark
Hey guys...this stuff really looks great! Looking at the drawings I noticed that the very tip portion looks like something I have found while building mine, it's clear and has a small pointed cone in the center...very cool and flame thrower like. I have 'bout a dozen of these little things...I will bring them alone with me to SWCII and any one who wants them can take one. I will be heading over to DCB house tonight I will see if he will post a pick of it for me...I don't have my own stuff to do this with so bare with me when it comes to posting pics:]
WOW!I have been kinda ignoring this thread (with it being ESB and all.. ) but I've gotta say that y'all are making some VERY cool progress here! Heck, I might even be up for a set of ESb gauntlets at this rate... not that I would WEAR them or anything but they would be ultra cool to display!
That's why I'm gathering enough parts to make 2 Fetts I'm doing a ROTJ version now, but I just know that I'll get hit with the ESB bug down the road.Brak's Buddy wrote:WOW!I have been kinda ignoring this thread (with it being ESB and all.. ) but I've gotta say that y'all are making some VERY cool progress here!

Watch out Braks,........you know how addictive this hobby can be.Before you know it you'll be knee deep in plastic,aluminum,and fiberglass
Nice to see all the hard work you guys are doing.
i to am planing to make a ESB version (THE BEST)..lol
and with all the info and mock-ups,it makes it easier for every one.
i really like the pic that shows the rear of the left Gauntlet.. but i feel a couple of the wires are of a FLAT type.. like ones used on phone lines! just me but what do you all think..
"ESB gauntlets,.... let's make 'em accurate"
"Ribbon wire" is what I too think that was used,especially for the red.Have to do some more deliberations before any final decisions are made.
I can make metal prototypes. Actually I was thinking about this yesterday. The metal prototype is nice because is very durable.
My experience as a historical armourer is helpful making the vambrace part (the metal sleeve that goes around the wrist..technically Fetts gauntlets arent really gauntlets by definition, they are vambraces.
Vambraces would be nice,but knees are where the action is at
Ribbon wire was the first thing that came to mind when I saw those wires in the gaunt pics. As I said, it makes think of an IDE cable, but whatever the flat colored 80's equivalent would be.
BTW here is a photo from the Marmit Fett of the "Mini concussion rocket," as the gauntlet device is called in the "Field Guide to Boba Fett's Mandalore Armor Poster."
The last of the machining is done. So I applied a couple coats of paint in the appropriate spots. Which I'm letting cure overnight. All that's left to do is some charcoal weathering and clearcoat. -Mark
Here is a comparison of my latest flamethrower design to the real deal. The positioning of my 3D model is a little off (my first real attempt at the photoshop stuff). -Mark

|That's a nice way of saying....Hit it with a hammer................
massaging headers
What's the best way to massage the header pipe to fit around the steering gear box?
I've been building camaros since day one and I don't know of any other stock type sector that fits. Have had some guys tell me they used the later model ones, but had some kind of ratio problems.
Any header is very close to the sector. some will fit and some will not, most will not. I gently massage the tube to get about a 1/4 inch clearance. I have even bolted them to another engine in the floor and sprung them enough to get some clearance. Good Luck
If you don't make mistakes. your not doing anything.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm still wondering about the gear box since I had the same problem with Flowtech Afterburner headers. Those just barely fit, but still rubbed. They were 1 1/2 inches, my Hedman's are 1 5/8 inches. I opted for the Hedman's instead of Hooker's because of the setup with the Fastburn heads, they were the only one's guaranteed to fit. Plus I'm not sure if Jet Hot will take them back since they are scratched up from the gear box. I guess I'll just keep trying to figure it out!
|Earl ...I'm not going to be much help to you here, but I think your looking at this problem all wrong. The power steering is not the problem, it's your headers! I have a 69 vette and had a set of Hedman headers also. The headers rubbed on the steering box! Until I finally changed them out with another set of headers (Hooker's) ...the problem went away! I'm not sure you can return your headers, but I would try. Don't end up trying to make "poor quality" work! My $0.02, Good Luck! ...Mark
68 power steering
I have a 1968 Camaro, originally a standard coupe with a
six cylinder and a power glide. The VIN# is 123378L303966. I
now have a 383 stroker with a Turbo 400. I have always had
clearance problems with my Flowtech Afterburner long tube
headers(1 1/2 inch primaries, 3 inch collectors) rubbing against
the stock power steering gear box. The number 3 tube would rub
and create an awful loud vibration at low rpm but would usually
go away once I'm up to speed.
I recently upgraded my cast iron SR Torquer heads to the GM
Aluminum Fast Burn heads. Because of this upgrade, I also had
to change my headers. I ordered a set of Hedman Shorty headers
from Jet Hot with 1 5/8 inch primaries and 3 inch collectors.
Now I can't even move the header into place to bolt it in
because the number 3 tube hits the power steering box even worse
than before.
Is there a smaller power steering gear box that I could swap
over to that would give me the room I need to bolt the header in
place? I thought I read somewhere about either an aftermarket
gear box for a Nova that would work, or a third or fourth
generation gear box that would be smaller. If not, does that
mean I'll have to convert to manual steering, and if so, would
that fix my clearance problem?
I know I've consistently read about guys with headers even
bigger than mine that have power steering and it looks like they
have plenty of room. Any help you can give would be great!

In an effort to strengthen food safety in the U.S., Senator Gillibrand (D-NY) introduced a bill to improve consumer confidence and focus attentions on emerging pathogens.
As dairy producers, it is inevitable that we will eventually become beef producers. When the decision is made to remove a cow from the herd, be it for low production, old age, or the inability to get her bred, she more than likely will end up in the food supply. To protect our industry and the end consumer of our product, it is important we do our best to minimize foodborne diseases whether it is through strengthened biosecurity measures or more accurate record keeping.
On September 8, 2011, Senator Kristen Gillibrand (D-NY) introduced a bill aimed at reforming food safety at the USDA. The bill, introduced with no cosponsors, would widen the definition of adulterated meat, poultry, and egg products. The bill also adds criminal penalties for manufacturers that knowingly release contaminated food products.
The bill serves dual purposes, to modernize the Food Safety and Inspection Service giving them more control over hazards in regulated food and improve consumer confidence in the food supply chain. The bill also targets emerging pathogens, such as antibiotic-resistant Salmonella, that may place a larger number of people at risk for a foodborne illness.
The purposes of the bill are to:
1. Establish an effective, preventive food safety system administered by the Food Safety and Inspection Service by regulating food safety and labeling to protect public health, focusing attention on emerging pathogens in the food supply, participating with the FDA in an integrated approach and providing an integrated food safety research capability in cooperation with academic institutions
2. Modernize and strengthen the Federal food safety system to ensure more effective application and efficient management of the laws for the protection and improvement of public health
3. Establish that food establishments have responsibility to ensure that all stages of production, processing, and distribution of the products of the food establishments, or under the control of the food establishments, satisfy the requirements of this Act.
The full text of the bill was made available yesterday. Click here to see the full bill.
Gillibrand also spent a good portion of her summer visiting with farmers throughout New York to learn about their needs in the 2012 Farm Bill.

Today I got cut off by a group of 20 turkeys walking single file across the road. There were 2 jakes (no beard, with spurs) a bunch of hens, what I thought was a few more jakes, and one big gobbler, beard and all. We have definitely had a crazy winter, but don't the birds usually split up for winter, and only start to come back together around spring turkey season?
This is my first season and I am trying to learn all I can. I have been doing alot of scouting and watching, but I haven't yet seen a group this diverse.
Any thoughts? Thanks,

Discussion in 'Other Hoops Talk' started by detteam, Feb 26, 2012.
Green out???
Gotta wait til the final 4..........anything earlier will Jinx the team..........
Where did you get THAT from, Mr. Maize and Blue?????? Besides, I'm not so sure they will make it that far.
Your team is expected to make it to the final four. They've made it almost 50% of the time the last 12 years. I guess the dust ruffle is blocking your vision.........thinking... Darth...it's time to change your image........don't rush to quit on your team....
some people will cheer for anybody........................................................
No. Not cheering for Ohio. Merely applauding them. I cheer for MSU. You know, that GREEN team in the sweet 16. It's fun. Ohio State is there too. Wisconsin. Indiana. The Big Ten sent their best to represent. I will applaud MSU IF they accomplish something. Like...uh...I guess the final 4 would be OK. Ho hum. U of M losing to Ohio is like Ohio State losing to one of those Michigan teams with a direction before it's name (Eastern, Western, etc). Too funny. Luckily, other folks took care of Big ten bizzness. No, but really. You guys were in the real tournament. Not the NIT. awwww. That was so cute. U of M just got a really tough draw. Next year I have a feeling you will make it into the top 32. Won't that be exciting? Mabe you can get a rematch with those mean bobcats and show them who is boss!!! Go wolverinettes!
Drove by Ohio U a couple of weeks ago. Man, is that in the middle of nowhere or what?
I can't believe I'm at the top (for now, I know everything can change) ..
Just goes to show how little the talkers in here actually know about basketball. Keep up your participation. We need people like you in here. Heaven knows how little we actually know about basketball, and how vigorously we defend it.
haha.. thanks but I wish I could know what a lot of the users here knows about basketball. I was lucky I guess with some pick, but this is far from over.
Well...two competitors are out with nobody in the Final four. One Picked Michigan and the other Picked Michigan state. Those were noble picks, but just not to be. I've been floating around 11th of 17 competitors, but my final two are still competing. The best I can finish is 4th.
I have Michigan - Michigan State in the finals but I haven't been paying close attention. How's my chances looking? I bet I'm far and away ahead of you all in the standings.
You get an "A" for being loyal to Michigan teams........
Looks like it's me and Nemo both in the hunt for 4th. That's the best I can do myself. 4th place is the new 1st!
I like the thought of you doing well. However, I would finish much lower than you. If I finish 4th...you would be in 9th place...which is OK by me.........
Picking a bracket with no teams in the final four and only two teams in the elite eight without picking a load of scrub teams is almost as hard and impressive as picking a perfect bracket, if not more impressive. Dead last is the new 1st.
Basketball is a team game, Nemo. Sometimes you have to sacrifice individual acclomades for the greater good.
I feel bad. I know that Darth refused to play this year's Bracket because I refused to do trades with him during the last Bracket. Teamwork and comradery are on my list for personal growth...
the Ohio State seem to slow things down to a half court and go inside.....kansas took it straight to them with no hesitation and was able to steal that victory. You kind of knew that the 13 point lead by the Buckeyes would eventually disappear after they came out sluggish.... I still say the Wildcats will win, but thinking if it is close, the Jayhaws know how to execute in the end.
Separate names with a comma.

Hello fellow TDH members,
My name is Berry, iam from The Netherlands and iam a proud member of the 501st Legion.
I already have a Bikerscout costume which got Lancer approved in 2009 after loads of extra work on it.
This year i started a ESB Boba Fett costume, which is going to take up loads of time, money and work.
Iam a pretty tall guy (6.4 feet) so iam very excited to get this costume done and to see what it looks like.
I wanted a Fett costume as soon as i joined the 501st in 2008, but never had the time and motivation to start it. Doing loads of research can be a major help.
Iam starting this thread to let you guys see my WIP with pictures etc.
I already have bought some parts but nothing special so far. But iam planning to buy some major stuff very soon to get this project going. I do have to wait for the spring/summer to get this project really going, painting in this cold and damp weather is no fun and i dont wanna ruin any of my stuff.

Doctoral candidate Daniel De Haan will apply the philosophical study of the human person to cognitive neuroscience, especially Alzheimer's research, as part of a prestigious post-doctoral position beginning in the fall. He will study philosophy, theology and neuroscience at the School of Divinity at the University of Cambridge in England.
De Haan is pursuing a joint-doctoral degree from the University of St. Thomas Center for Thomistic Studies and the De Wulf-Mansion Centre for Ancient, Medieval and Renaissance Philosophy within the Institute of Philosophy of the Catholic University of Leuven in Belgium, where he currently resides. He will defend his doctoral dissertation with the two universities in Houston in August.
De Haan said his philosophical studies have alternated between a fascination with the great philosophical minds of the past and the ways these historical insights illuminate the challenging philosophical questions that confront us today.
"When we confront this question today, 'What is the human person?' we cannot ignore the ongoing developments being made in cognitive neuroscience."
Cambridge Project De-Segregates Philosophy, Theology and Science
De Haan will work under Professor Sarah Coakley at Cambridge University, who will direct three postdoctoral fellows in cosmology, evolutionary biology and cognitive neuroscience.
For De Haan, the post-doc position working on philosophical anthropology—the study of metaphysics, consciousness as experienced from the first-person point of view and interpersonal relationships—along with cognitive neuroscience, is a dream come true.
"Over the last few years I have come to realize that my intellectual vocation was leading me more and more in the direction of philosophical and theological anthropology, and this meant I needed to find a way to study cognitive neuroscience and understand it on its own terms," De Haan said.
De Haan said in the past century the academic world has moved toward overspecialization in philosophy, theology, and especially in the sciences, making it difficult for philosophers and theologians to acquire knowledge of scientific practices and discoveries. Conversely, scientists have trouble distinguishing between philosophical, theological and scientific questions.
De Haan will have an office in the Translational Cognitive Neuroscience Lab and will observe and participate in the everyday work being done on recognition and memory in this lab, especially as related to wider research projects at Cambridge working on Alzheimer's disease.
"The idea here is to get me up to speed with contemporary research in cognitive neuroscience and to provide me three years of formation working in a cutting-edge research laboratory," De Haan said. "I shall also be studying with a number of Cambridge professors working on philosophy of mind and philosophy of perception."
Houston, Houser are 'Home Base' to Joint Doctoral Degree
While De Haan's pursuit of a joint degree may seem ambitious, he said it is a more common practice in Europe. Most doctoral programs in the United States require many years of coursework and exams prior to working on a doctoral dissertation; however, in Europe students consider doctoral studies similar to an independent research project. Sometimes a doctoral student can improve his research by studying under multiple specialists at different universities.
With two dissertation supervisors, Dr. Rollen Edward Houser at UST and Dr. Andrea Robiglio at KU Leuven, the doctoral examination committee is comprised of members from both universities. The defense will take place in Houston, because Houser is the principal supervisor of De Haan's dissertation.
Houser said the post-doctoral position is a great accomplishment. De Haan is starting his career at one of the best educational institutions in the world.
"He was successful because he is one of those 'once in a lifetime' students that every teacher feels extremely privileged to have in one's teaching career," said Houser, the Professor Bishop Nold Chair in Graduate Philosophy.
De Haan worked with Houser to study the Muslim philosopher Avicenna from the 10th-11th centuries and his influence on the thought of Thomas Aquinas. De Haan said his dissertation, "Necessary Existence and the Doctrine of Being in Avicenna's 'Metaphysics of the Healing,'" is an abstract thesis that explains Avicenna's understanding of being, thing, one, the necessary and how his philosophical exploration of these concepts ultimately leads to a metaphysical knowledge of God as the Necessary Existence in Itself.
Meaning of Life and God Core for De Haan at Center for Thomistic Studies
De Haan, a convert to Catholicism during his first year in Houston, said the Center for Thomistic Studies provided him with his first Catholic home, for which he is eternally grateful.
He said while teaching undergraduate philosophy courses during the last three years at UST, he had some outstanding students, who taught him a lot about being a professor.
"If I ever become a good teacher, my students from UST will deserve a lot of the credit," he said. "I still pray for these students as it is the most I can do for such young minds to whom I owe so much. I hope that they were able to glean at least a few tips from me about the meaning of existence, life and God."

I came across information on a Star Wars newspaper comic strip which had Boba in it.
The following is pasted from the site concerning the timeline of the newspaper comic.From http://www.retrojunk.com/details_articles/703
"The strip began on Sunday, March 11, 1979, written and illustrated by adventure strip legend Russ Manning, appearing in the LA Times Syndicate. It ran for five years (until 1984), and comprised 27 story arcs. There were some great (and some downright silly) stories in that run, but perhaps the greatest and goofiest is the ninth story arc, "The Frozen World of Ota", which ran from June 17 to August 10, 1980.
The Empire Strikes Back premiered a month before this storyline started appearing in the morning papers, on May 21. So by that stage audiences had gotten the dose of Boba Fett that they had been hungering for in the years building up to the sequel. Of course, in those days there weren't synchronised worlwide releases, so in Australia for instance (where ESB was released on August 7, 1980), fans would have been reading about Fett in the newspaper strip in the lead-up to actually seeing the movie."
Here is one one photos form the site of the artwork.Notice the color scheme of his outfit.
The web article is a pretty good read as far as research into the different ways Boba has "poped" in and out of entertainment outlets.

Georgia's Angler Award Program
Official Rules for the Angler Award Program
View 2016 Angler Award winner information here!
All game fish, in addition to carp, catfish, bowfin, gar, and yellow perch are eligible for Angler Awards and Freshwater Fish State Records. Both resident and non-resident anglers are eligible. The Wildlife Resources Division reserves the right to refuse any questionable entry.
The Angler Award Program runs from Jan. 1 - Dec. 31. Applications must be received no later than Jan. 15 of the year following the catch. Rewards are awarded in February/March of the year following the catch. For example, a fish meeting angler award requirements that is caught in April 2005 will be recognized in early 2006. To qualify for an Angler Award, the fish must meet the minimum weight or length requirements listed at the menu link on the right ("Qualifying for the Georgia Angler Award").
Fish must be caught in Georgia during the legal angling season for the species taken in accordance with all fishing laws and regulations. Fish must be caught on sporting tackle and be hooked and landed by the entrant. Bush hooks, trot lines, jugs, baskets, nets, etc., are not considered sporting tackle.
To enter Angler Award Program, the angler must submit an application and a clear, side-view photograph of the fish. A photograph of the angler with the fish must also be submitted. Fish total length (TL) must be measured with a ruler or tape measure. To determine TL, measure the fish from the tip of the snout to the back of the tail fin with the fin squeezed together. See below or back of application form for catch-and-release and length submission information. Fish may also be weighed on a certified scale (see below).
A "certified scale" means one that has been certified accurate to the nearest ounce, or lesser weight, by the Department of Agriculture within the last year. Fish may be weighed in pounds and ounces or in metric; however, metric weights will be converted to pounds and ounces. Estimated weights will not be accepted. The weight of the sling, platform or rope (if one is used when weighing the fish) must be determined and deducted from the total weight.
Only one-ounce graduations will be recognized. Visual fractionizing of graduations is not allowed. Weights that fall between two graduations of the scale must be rounded to the lower of the two.
For Angler Award Fish, a WRD Fisheries Section biologist or technician must identify the actual fish or a photo. See below for catch-and-release and length submission information. No mounted fish will be accepted. Please call before visiting a Fisheries Office to be sure someone is available to identify the fish.
Anglers whose fish qualify for an Angler Award will receive a certificate during February/March of the year following the catch. The names and addresses of individuals who receive Angler Awards and Freshwater Fish State Records may be released to the media and other interested parties.
Please send angler award applications to the following address: Wildlife Resources Division/Angler Award Application/2070 U.S. Hwy. 278, SE/Social Circle, GA 30025
Catch-and-Release Information (Angler Award Fish Only)

Phoenix Drops Weekend Matches Against Milwaukee, Chicago State
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - The Green Bay women's tennis team was dealt a pair of 7-0 losses over the weekend, falling at Milwaukee on Friday before dropping a home contest to Chicago State on Saturday. Saturday's match against the Cougars began a stretch of six straight at Western Racquet and Fitness Club.
Sophomore Stephanie Londre (Burlington, Wis.) had a solid weekend at the No. 1 singles spot, battling hard and playing strong tennis in a pair of defeats. Londre first dropped a 6-2, 6-2 contest against Milwaukee's Diana Tokar and then suffered a 6-1, 7-5 result against CSU's Kirsa Utech.
"Stephanie knew the level of competition she would come up against at No. 1 singles and she worked hard at practice this past month," Phoenix head coach Sommer May said. "She trusted in her game and gave her opponent tough matches. She proved to me, her opponents and to herself that she has the ability to compete at a high level of play."
Freshman Claudia Negron (Lima, Peru) picked up Green Bay's lone singles set victory of the weekend on Saturday, defeating Chicago State's Hanna Pangestu 6-1 in the opener. Pangestu rebounded, however, and grabbed the 1-6, 6-1, 6-0 win.
The Phoenix will play its next five matches at home, beginning with contests against Horizon League opponents Detroit (March 22) and Oakland (March 23).

Get ready Hardin County. Thanks to everyone who thought bringing alcohol into the area was a good solution to economic problems we are now going to see more DUI accidents and deaths as a result. For all of you who voted it into law, I guess money must be more important than the safety and well being of your families. Unfortunately people who would have voted against it, if given a say, will suffer too. Enjoy your alcohol & your money, while you can. eventually your vote to make our city wet will effect you in a negative way. It was wrong to not allow everyone to vote, but I guess thats how they managed to keep most churches out of the equation. I really hope no children lose their lives due to the ignorance of their "protecting" adults. Be careful young drivers, of the DUI adults.

When I found balance, happiness followed
As the "Just for Today" bookmark (M-12) says, "Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be." I now believe this statement to be true. For many years, however, I was only as happy as the situation was that day.

Embracing new attitudes— going from 'I can't' to 'I can'
My husband got angry when my children told him that he was an alcoholic. When they confronted me with those words, I said it was impossible. My husband went to work every day, came home every night, and earned a paycheck. How could he be considered an alcoholic? Alcoholics lived under bridges and didn't have a job or a place to call home.

I copied this off the 1919 site. this is an excellent deal if you are thinking of doing a 1919, Halo plates are the best there is.
I am making new friends in the supply line. If I can pull off the first run of plates this will be the new standard pricing.
I need to sell 200 plates to keep this going. The first hundred need to be spoken for by the end of this month. These will be the same quality production. Still using 4140 alloy and machining every face. I just finally got hooked up on the east coast for metal ... cheap. Problem is I have to buy a bunch of it to offset the shipping.
Are you sitting down?
I will make you the RHSP ... with or without engravings for a flat rate of $95.00. Shipping is extra. Price quoted is check or money order ... credit cards add 4%
It is time to put up or shut up in this industry.
If you already have a gun and are toying with the idea of building another ... buy a plate now. This offer is only good if I can move 200 plates in 90 days. The first 100 need to be spoken for by end of this month.
That is a savings of $55.00 over current production.
It doesn't stop there ....
If I can move 50 M2HB/M3AC plates in 30 days, I will sell them for $295 each.
Current prices are $425 ... You save $130 if I can move them all in one sale. Shipping is extra and credit cards add 4% ...as noted above for the 1919 plates.
I have a full sheet of material paid for that I am waiting on delivery. I need to move it out. Tell a friend
I am taking names for these orders DO NOT SEND MONEY. Price is only good if I meet the quotas.
Do not e-mail me if you do not have the money to spend.
Title Your E-mail with the plate you want.
For Example:
Title - Halo 1919 Plate Qty 1
Title - Halo M3AC Plate Qty 2
I will update here frequently with the numbers as we approach the quota. Once we reach the numbers I will have you send funds in to confirm.
This is a no risk deal for everyone. I won't order materials until I have the last payment on 1919's I won't run the materials until I am paid for the M2HB/M3AC
Don't miss this opportunity.
Send E-mails to
Do not go to the website ... these prices are not reflected on the site. This new pricing will not take effect on the website until the first run is completed.
The only way to get on this sale is to E-Mail me as noted above.
Once we have the numbers sold confirmed, you will send funds in or pay by credit card over the phone.
Depending on the number of plates we sell this way. I am prepared to offer trigger and sear sets for both 1919 and M2 ... way below current market prices.
This is the dawn of a new day for home builders. Buy them now while you still can.

El Nino, Global Warming, and Anomalous U.S. Winter Warmth
Indeed, though the current pattern of winter U.S. warmth looks much more like the pattern predicted by climate models as a response to anthropogenic forcing (see Figure below left) than the typical 'El Nino' pattern, neither can one attribute this warmth to anthropogenic forcing. As we are fond of reminding our readers, one cannot attribute a specific meteorological event, an anomalous season, or even (as seems may be the case here, depending on the next 2 months) two anomalous seasons in a row, to climate change. Moreover, not even the most extreme scenario for the next century predicts temperature changes over North America as large as the anomalies witnessed this past month. But one can argue that the pattern of anomalous winter warmth seen last year, and so far this year, is in the direction of what the models predict.
In reality, the individual roles of deterministic factors such as El Nino, anthropogenic climate change, and of purely random factors (i.e. "weather") in the pattern observed thusfar this winter cannot even in principle be ascertained. What we do know, however, is that both anthropogenic climate change and El Nino favor, in a statistical sense, warmer winters over large parts of the U.S. When these factors act constructively, as is the case this winter, warmer temperatures are certainly more likely. Both factors also favor warmer global mean surface temperatures (the warming is one or two tenths of a degree C for a moderate to strong El Nino). It is precisely for this reason that some scientists are already concluding, with some justification, that 2007 stands a good chance of being the warmest year on record for the globe.
A few other issues are worthy of comment in the context of this discussion. A canard that has already been trotted out by climate change contrarians (and unfortunately parroted uncritically in some media reports) holds that weather in certain parts of the U.S. (e.g. blizzards and avalanches in Colorado) negates the observation of anomalous winter warmth. This argument is disingenuous at best. As clearly evident from the figure shown above, temperatures for the first month of this winter have been above normal across the United States (with the only exceptions being a couple small cold patches along the U.S./Mexico border). The large snowfall events in Boulder were not associated with cold temperatures, but instead with especially moisture-laden air masses passing through the region. If temperatures are at or below freezing (which is true even during this warmer-than-average winter in Colorado), that moisture will precipitate as snow, not rain. Indeed, snowfall is often predicted to increase in many regions in response to anthropogenic climate change, since warmer air, all other things being equal, holds more moisture, and therefore, the potential for greater amounts of precipitation whatever form that precipitation takes.
Another issue here involves the precise role of El Nino in climate change. El Nino has a profound influence on disparate regional weather phenomena. Witness for example the dramatic decrease in Atlantic tropical cyclones this most recent season relative to the previous one. This decrease can be attributed to the El Nino that developed over the crucial autumn season, which favored a strengthening of the upper level westerlies over the tropical North Atlantic, increased tropical Atlantic wind shear, and a consequently less favorable environment for tropical cyclogenesis.

Arsène Wenger has categorically ruled out signing a centre back in the January transfer window.
With Chelsea reportedly tracking Bolton's Gary Cahill, the Arsenal manager was asked whether he would consider a move for the defender with whom he was linked in the summer.
"I have had no contact [with Bolton about Cahill]," Wenger said.
"We have plenty of centre backs, fortunately they can play on the flanks too as they are at the moment. We are not looking for any centre backs.

What are the advantages of a cutter-rigged boat?
Dan Dickison responds:
A cutter sails pretty much like a sloop, but with two jibs, the cutter rig can be a more versatile sail plan. If the staysail is self-tending (on a boom with a traveler on the foredeck), you can short-tack upwind without grinding headsail winches. How the rig performs hard on the wind depends a great deal on the size and style of the main headsail. With a large, low-cut genoa, the staysail may be starved for air when beating, while a smaller, high-clewed jib or yankee may work well with the inner headsail.
A staysail almost always provides usable sail area for power reaching once the boat is slightly off the wind and works well until the wind is well abaft the beam. On a dead run however, the little staysail is usually blanketed by the mainsail and is of little use. Yet, a little-used advantage is that when running downwind, the staysail can be sheeted flat amidships, acting like a large anti-roll air brake.
The most important aspect in using this rig is to make sure that the trim on the outer jib matches the trim on the inner one. This assumes that you've got the proper sheet leads, halyard tension, and sheet tension. Obviously you want to sheet the outer jib outboard of the inner jib.
The cutter-rigged boat can be balanced better than a sloop because the staysail can be sheeted in or out to add more or less weather helm. A staysail can also be extremely useful as the wind increases because they keep the sail plan of the boat low and centered as the headsail and main are reefed. Paired with a partially-rolled genoa or a small, high-clewed yankee, sail area can be reduced until the staysail alone is left.
To achieve the most effective cutter rig, there are several decisions that must be made. First, whether the staysail should be self-tending on a boom or loose footed. Self-tending is nice when tacking shorthanded, but makes stowing anything on the foredeck nearly impossible, and it can be a shin-buster when anchoring. Also, a self-tending, club-footed staysail won't have the performance potential of a loose-footed rig. The other decision regards whether to have a hoisting or roller-furling staysail. Furling the sail from the cockpit is convenient, but it makes the stay for the staysail non-removable and also makes the addition of a storm staysail, or spitfire, more difficult.
Now there are some disadvantages to a cutter rig, and one in particular is that the staysail stay often interferes with tacking a large genoa, regardless of whether the staysail is in use. The use of a Hyfield-style release lever on the staysail stay can help you overcome this drawback since it allows the staysail stay to be un-coupled and stowed aft near the mast when the staysail is not in use. This small change is worth undertaking because it makes sailhandling and manhandling a spinnaker pole on the foredeck much easier. Here's hoping that this information is useful to you.

As for Drummond, people have accused a lot of very good players of not being passionate about basketball. Andrew Bynum and Greg Oden were both criticized for that to a certain degree. Sometimes it's true. Sometimes it's not. As long as he's not lazy, I'll take him. There's not much you can do about lazy. I really like Jones, but he'll go through periods when he floats around outside and settles for jump shots. I'd like to see him attack more frequently, or at least crash the offensive glass more regularly. If he can turn into a "stretch" 4, then I would really like him. I don't like him as an oversized 3. As a 3, he starts to feel a whole lot like Tim Thomas, and that's not a good thing. He's definitely a player to keep your eye on.

From HaskellWiki
1 Parallel Programming in GHC
This page contains notes and information about how to use parallelism in GHC.
You may be interested in concurrency instead. Have a look there too.
GHC provides multi-scale support for parallel programming, from very fine-grained, small "sparks", to coarse-grained explicit threads and locks (using concurrency), along with other models of parallel programming.
- See "Real World Haskell" chapter 24, for an introduction to the most common forms of concurrent and parallel programming in GHC.
- A reading list for parallelism in Haskell.
- The status of parallel and concurrent programming in Haskell.
The parallel programming models in GHC can be divided into the following forms:
- Very fine grained: parallel sparks and futures, as described in the paper "Runtime Support for Multicore Haskell"
- Nested data parallelism: a parallel programming model based on bulk data parallelism, in the form of the DPH and Repa libraries for transparently parallel arrays.
- Intel Concurrent Collections for Haskell: a graph-oriented parallel programming model.
The most important (as of 2010) to get to know are implicit parallelism via sparks. If you're interested in scientific programming specifically, you may also be interested in current research on nested data parallelism in Haskell.
1.1 Starting points
- Nested Data Parallelism. For an approach to exploiting the implicit parallelism in array programs for multiprocessors, see Data Parallel Haskell (work in progress).
1.2 Multicore GHC
Since 2004, GHC supports running programs in parallel on an SMP or multi-core machine. How to do it:
- Compile your program using the -threaded switch.
- Run the program with +RTS -N2 to use 2 threads, for example (RTS stands for runtime system; see the GHC users' guide). You should use a -N value equal to the number of CPU cores on your machine (not including Hyper-threading cores). As of GHC v6.12, you can leave off the number of cores and all available cores will be used (you still need to pass -N however, like so: +RTS -N).
- Concurrent threads (forkIO) will run in parallel, and you can also use the par combinator and Strategies from the Control.Parallel.Strategies module to create parallelism.
- Use +RTS -sstderr for timing stats.
- To debug parallel program performance, use ThreadScope.
