Hey whats up everybody, Ive recently been stationed out here and Im looking for some duck hunters that wouldnt mind taking a first timer to do some hunting. A little bit about myself, I grew up in South Georgia so hunting and fishing is in my blood. Im a die hard bow hunter and love to bass fish. Been in a few tournaments here and there.
Ive heard my buddies talk about the excitement and adrenalin rushes they get from duck hunting so i figured i would get into waterfowl hunting. I just need someone to show me the ropes to how things work out here. Thanks to future responses

|Finance Students Witness "Flash Crash" Unfold in Real-Time
|Students witnessed the "flash crash" of the Dow Jones Industrial Average real-time in the Center for Trading and Analysis of Financial Instruments.
Scott Steimer '11 never felt as close to a Wall Street trading floor as he did the afternoon of May 6, the "flash crash" of the Dow Jones Industrial Average. In a matter of minutes, shortly before 3:00 p.m., stock prices fell by about 6 percent, then recovered almost as quickly.
Steimer watched the drama in the "trading room," formally called the Center for Trading and Analysis of Financial Instruments, a jewel in the crown of a School of Business education.
He was sitting in on a senior-level course that afternoon.
"The class stopped, and we all sat in awe as the numbers cycled downward on the ticker screen," he said. "Watching the class race to see how their investments were doing, I feel like I got a small taste of what Wall Street is really like. I felt like I was on the trading floor of a Morgan Stanley or Goldman Sachs, and that kind of experience both excites and motivates students to make that dream come true."
The trading room -- dedicated to the study of financial, currency, and commodity markets -- has a large number of workstations to accommodate the finance courses of the School of Business. It's designed to capture the atmosphere of an actual trading environment. Students can access real-time market data received from various exchanges connected to 44 workstations utilizing Thomson Reuters' state-of-the-art Thomson One software package and five workstations in a smaller lab across the hall.
"It is something that sets us apart from other schools," said Steimer. "It's one way that 'little Ithaca' can compete with the bigger schools in providing an experience and an education that prepares us to succeed after graduation."
Working in the trading room is a confidence booster for students.
"You may learn things that are not taught in class just from using the trading room," said Mike Maloney '11. "I have noticed that as I become more comfortable with the tools provided, projects and papers in my business classes seem less daunting, simply because I know I can find the information I need without any problems."
Students know what they learn there boosts their chances to find a job.
"The trading room gave me access to programs that I otherwise never would have learned to use. I felt competent walking into interviews knowing I could draw on my experience with Thomson One and StockVal,'' said Justine Stohler '11. "I love the trading room. It feels like home to me, and both the software and hardware set up in there make it a great place to do work for hours on end.''
Rachel Hart '11 enjoys the trading room so much that she staffed it last fall when there were no classes, so students could use the software.
"I'd go in at 8 a.m., boot Thomson, check out the news and pre-market report, and I'd keep researching or helping other students till my 10 a.m. class," said Hart. "I love feeling informed and up-to-date with the real-time data, research reports, and I also love the Thomson One Excel add-in for building helpful spreadsheets."
Last fall, she took Securities Analysis and Portfolio Management, with class in the trading room two days a week. Each student had to invest a hypothetical $1 million in US securities during the semester. Hart used the trading room at least once a day to read the news, research investments, and track her portfolio.
"When it all really came together, though, was when I used Thomson One's Excel add-in to track my portfolio using live bid and ask prices. This allowed me to check the value of my portfolio up to the minute, so I knew my gain or loss at all times.
"After I built the spreadsheet, I got even more involved in the project. I'd be in the trading room with Thomson on one screen, my portfolio on the other, and I'd research all of my investments, observe how my portfolio reacted to news releases, and buy and sell accordingly.
"I absolutely loved working on that project, and using the trading room was the best way to learn and observe how different stocks would react to changes in the market, and how it would affect your portfolio.''
Stohler took the same class: "Seeing my portfolio value plummet or skyrocket in response to news streaming in on Thomson yields real emotion. You also learn how irrational and unpredictable the markets can be."
Organizations like the Core Trading Consultants also use the trading room. The CTC provide technical assistance on the trading room's software and co-manage (with the school's Financial Management Association) the Ithaca College Mutual Fund.
"I feel the trading room defines who I am as a student and how I want to be remembered at Ithaca College," said Jeffrey Geyer '11, CTC chief financial officer and co-president. "I see the trading room much more than a classroom. To me, it is equally perceived as a professional business environment because of the opportunities it offers and its abilities. Whether it is through student organizations, class work, or personal research, I approach the trading room as an exciting and unique way to accomplish my tasks.''
Students know the trading room enhances the school's reputation. "Many of my classmates have received jobs and internships where they were competing against students from Ivy League schools, and the education provided by Ithaca allowed them to shine above all the others," said Maloney.
To Hart, "the trading room is the heart of the Business School. It really exemplifies what a business education at IC is: real experience, real responsibility, and real opportunity."

By Joe Brewin
Arsène Wenger believes any team would be hit by the loss of a "real midfielder" like Mikel Arteta.
The Spaniard has been ruled out of Arsenal's remaining four matches with an ankle injury sustained in the 2-1 defeat to Wigan on Monday.
Arteta has been an integral part of Wenger's first-team plans since his summer move from Everton and the manager admits his injury is a bitter blow.
"He is a player you don't like to lose because he is an organiser, a winner and has great qualities," Wenger told the Official Matchday Programme. "He has 90-minute focus on the pitch and what typifies him well is the goal he scored against Manchester City.
"He first won the ball back through complete focus on what the opponent will do and where he could lose the ball. He then finished the action and scored the goal. That is what I call a real midfielder, a guy who is always in the game."

Fueled by a school-record performance by senior Mike Moran at the faceoff X, the Canisius College men's lacrosse team earned its second-straight win with a 12-11 victory against Binghamton on Monday night at the Demske Sports Complex. Moran broke his own program mark with 22 faceoff victories as Canisius improved to 3-8 on the season.
"Obviously, Mike Moran was huge for us today," said Canisius head coach Randy Mearns. "Joe Rautenstrauch also had a big game for us and we just continue to get better every game and every practice this season. It got a little dicey at the end and we are still trying to put a full 60 minutes together but the resiliency we showed in the final 90 seconds to hold them off for the win was huge."
Moran's career day sparked the Griffs to the victory. The senior won his 22 faceoffs in just 27 attempts for a .815 winning percentage. He also added his first collegiate goal to go along with one assist for two points on the offensive end.
Senior Joe Rautenstrauch also enjoyed a career day for Canisius, setting personal bests with six points and five goals in the win. Sophomore Tim Edwards added four points and three goals, while freshman Billy Jacobbi chipped in two tallies. Sophomore Austin Romantic recorded two points on a goal and an assist with sophomore Sam Connors pacing the Canisius attack with two assists.
Moran helped the Griffs get off to a quick start in the contest, winning all eight faceoffs in the opening period. Canisius took advantage when Rautenstrauch scored his first of the day just 42 seconds into the game and then Moran followed with his first collegiate goal just six seconds later off a faceoff win, quickly showing a sign of things to come in the battle at the faceoff X.
The Bearcats (5-7) twice pulled to within one in the first quarter but at 3-2, Canisius started to pull away with the final two tallies of the opening period. Jacobbi scored a man-up goal with 2:20 remaining and Rautenstrauch then completed his hat trick with 1:34 left in the first for the 5-2 advantage after 15 minutes of action.
Binghamton once again pulled to within one, 5-4, with 7:21 left in the second quarter but another strong finish to the period gave the Griffs a 7-4 halftime lead. Romantic netted his 11th of the season with 3:08 remaining in the quarter and Edwards then finished the scoring in the half with just seven seconds left for the three-goal advantage at the intermission.
The momentum carried over into the second half for the Griffs, quickly extending their lead to six just 2:05 into the third. Jacobbi tallied his second of the day 61 seconds into the quarter and then Edwards scored six seconds later, coming off a feed from Moran on a faceoff victory. Rautenstrauch then finished the run for a 10-4 lead with 12:55 left in the period. Binghamton answered with two tallies but goals by Edwards with 3:14 left in the period and Rautenstrauch with just nine seconds remaining in the third gave the Griffs a 12-6 lead heading into the fourth quarter.
The Bearcats, however, did not go away quietly and slowly got back into the contest. Binghamton scored five-straight goals in the final quarter and finally pulled back within one with just 1:32 remaining in regulation, 12-11.
Like he did all night though, Moran came up big once again with his 22nd faceoff victory of the day on the ensuing restart and then found Jacobbi open. The rookie was then tripped up with 70 seconds left in the game, giving the Griffs a one-minute man advantage. Canisius was able to take advantage and successfully killed the clock for its second-straight win.
The Bearcats finished the game with a slight edge in shots, 38-36. The Griffs, however, controlled possession thanks to Moran winning 22-of-27 faceoffs and the team finished with a 33-18 advantage in ground balls on the night.
Matt Springer led the Bearcats with six goals, while Max Schefler took the loss in net with 11 saves.
Canisius looks for its third-straight win on Saturday, returning to MAAC action with a home game against Jacksonville. The schools are set to meet at the Demske Sports Complex beginning at 11 a.m.
Game Notes: Moran set the previous school record in faceoff victories on March 9 against Albany, winning 20-of-25 restarts that day … Moran's 22 faceoff wins are the seventh-most in the country this season … The senior is also just the fifth player this season to win at least 20 faceoffs in two games … Rautenstrauch's previous career high was three goals against VMI on March 16 … The Griffs outscored a team in the third quarter for the first time this season (5-2). Canisius entered the game being outscored 40-10 in the third this year … The Griffs earned their first win against Binghamton and is now 1-2 against the Bearcats.

GunnersGaming by Betsson, Arsenal's Official Betting Partner, give us the rundown on some of the markets on offer ahead of Sunday's home game versus Stoke...
Sunday sees Arsenal return to Premier League action after a morale-boosting last-gasp win over Marseille on Wednesday night. The Stade Velodrome is a difficult place to go and a return to Emirates Stadium with all three points and a clean sheet will surely inspire confidence as Arsenal look to secure back-to-back wins in the Premier League for the first time this season.
Stoke are Sunday's visitors to the Emirates and you have to go back 30 years for the last time they were able to return from north London with the three points. The Potters were also in midweek action and secured another win as they continue to impress in their inaugural Europa League campaign.
However, the Gunners will be hoping to take advantage of their tendency to suffer from a European hangover having seen their last two European nights followed up with defeats to Swansea and Sunderland. Arsenal will certainly look to capitalise on their extra day's rest and put Stoke under pressure from the first whistle. Back them to get off to a flier with two goals in the first half at 11/4 (3.7).
Last season saw Arsène Wenger's side win a hard-fought 1-0 at Emirates Stadium, only to be well beaten 3-1 in the return fixture at the Britannia Stadium. Tony Pulis has turned Stoke into a consistent force in the Premier League with plenty of big-name players now plying their trade for the Potters.
Arsenal are priced at 4/7 (1.58) to win but there would appear more value in backing a repeat of Wednesday night's events - the game to be level at half time and Arsenal to go on for the win, available at 10/3 (4.2).
If you are confident that Arsenal are starting to rediscover their defensive strength, why not back them to close out another 1-0 at an attractive 5/1 (6.1).
Fancy Ramsey to continue his goalscoring heroics or Robin van Persie to add to his five Premier League goals? Then why not back them to score first? Ramsey is available at 12/1 (13.0) and Robin van Persie at 7/2 (4.5).
GunnersGaming would like to wish the team all the best against Stoke. If you're new to GunnersGaming.com there is no better time to get started as we will refund your first three non-winning bets (up to the value of £25) and double your first deposit in the casino (up to the value of £200).

Discussion in 'February 2011' started by roscoe36, Oct 19, 2010.
Awww. That hurt man.
I can't talk about less than 10 seconds (not sure how many people ARE good in that situation), but Stuckey's not as terrible as I thought in the clutch. In fact, here, to me, is the biggest problem with the team in the clutch. Detroit averages 13.8 per 48 minutes of clutch time - for the whole team! Turrible. I think this is more of an issue of coaching than it is of bad players - how many times this season has the last play of the game come down to someone going 1-1 iso? Stuckey last night... Prince right before the All-Star break... I know Keuster probably gets more flack than he should, but a lack of a cohesive gameplan at the end of the game is all on him.
OK you know my answer>>>>Get rid of that clueless coach!!
Almost all NBA teams go 1-1 iso or pick and roll down the stretch. Look at how many games we've lost down the stretch, in the last few minutes of a close game you need a stud to deliver, we look to Tayshaun, Bynum, Stuckey and an laboring T-Mac; and that's why we lose, you need guys who can make plays, few teams execute plays down the stretch.
Yep, I read an article recently where they compared the team efficiency in the last 24 seconds in one possession games or something like that and the teams with great pointguards dominated the top. NO lead by a mile. I'll post it here if I can find it again. Edit: I think it was this one and another which had a list with the top teams where I got the part about pointguards dominating. I read so many articles I keep mixing them up. http://espn.go.com/blog/truehoop/post/_/id/24990/chris-pauls-crunch-time-mind
That doesn't make it right though. To me, going one on five in situations like that is stupid, yet seemingly every NBA team other than Boston does that. Why do they abandon running plays at the end of games? It makes little sense to me.
Boston does it too, Paul Pierce working an iso or off an elbow screen and if that play gets defended look for Ray in the corner/wing or KG for the 18'er. San Anton usually goes iso with Manu, Dallas runs a 2/4 pick and roll to get Dirk or Terry a shot. In the NBA teams are going to run plays and do much ball sharing, this is why the star studded teams win.
It's because it makes sense to not let the other team have another possession (assuming you're tied). If you run a play, the defense knows that they don't need to respect a shot until the final few seconds, so it just increases the odds of a turnover if you pass it around and set picks that could be considered offensive fouls. So, just let one guy hold it, send everybody else to the opposite side of the floor to draw the defenders away and accept that you're going to get off a shot attempt with about a .300 eFG%.
Separate names with a comma.

text: T-Mac shows just how mediocore the rest of our perimeter players are. Hobbled and a shell of what he used to be he does things that Rip, Tay, Stuckey and Bynum just can't do. I hope he gets to the point where he can go for 20-24mpg and get that jumper back, as slow as he is, the game is even slower for him, his hoop IQ is off the charts right know. That 1st qtr was an absolute thing of beauty to watch especially against a Larry Brown coached team who puts defense first. The good news is that this team now has some good basketball on film to watch and study. Our main play in the 1st qtr was the extended high pick and roll near the half court circle with T-Mac and Ben, and it was AWESOME, we got great shots running that play, it created GREAT floor spacing. It seems however that T-Mac is the only Piston capable of running it because we went away from it as soon as Tay took over at PG. I kept saying if Ben Wallace looked good running that play- how much better would Greg Monroe look getting the ball in space like that to drive and dish, he's a much better passer and ball handler than Ben, yet we never ran that play for him????????? I just don't understand. Greg Monroe is making me eat my words, still can't finish inside worth a darn, and I just can't understand how a guy that tall and long gets stuffed so much inside, it's baffling, there are a ton of slow-no hop 7'ers in the league, but they don't get stuffed like he does. As slow as he is with the ball in the paint, as unathletic as he is with the ball in the paint, he's PHENOMENAL at rebounding the ball. He's shown some excellent foot work, some quick feet too.......they just don't get very high off the ground.... Q has got to reduce Tay's minutes he ain't worth squat tired and contrary to popular belief by those in the org, he gets tired, quickly! For the record, I'm glad Daye was yanked, that kid, for all his talent needs to get mentally tougher, he was making big time mistakes in the 3rd qtr. Now many will say, let him play through them and learn, I agree, BUT, he doesn't seem to be able to do that. Daye makes a mistake and it throws his whole game off, he doesn't seem to be able to shake it off and go on to the next play and his poor play just begins to compound. We all know that Austin's game comes and goes with his confidence.

Last Wednesday, we joined Dr. Jill Biden at the Code for America headquarters, a non-profit startup that has attracted dozens of civic-minded software developers spending a year building new products and services – powered, in part, by open government data – to improve the lives of everyday Americans.
Dr. Biden celebrated the convening efforts of Code and 10 apps developed by the private sector to improve the employment prospects for our Nation's heroes – from apps that help veterans build new skills or a professional network, to a personalized list of open job postings. We observed the results of LinkedIn's "Veterans Hackday" – two of the 44 apps built over a weekend; a collaboration between two tech companies that had never worked together before – Jibe and KMS Software – to deliver an almost-paperless approach to qualify for eligible tax credits; and the impressive work of a veteran entrepreneur, Fidelis, focused on the military to civilian transition.
We saw these and other "Apps for Heroes" because Code for America made a commitment last August in response to the President's call to action. We joined Code on this mission and engaged a broader voluntary collaborative of tech firms already active in the employment and training online market. They didn't ask us for money. Rather, we brainstormed how government data, if released in a people-and-computer-friendly format, could serve as "rocket fuel" for their apps.

text: So, it's official...after 23 years of having my own office, I have to move into a cubicle this fall. I work for a fairly large employer (we have 23 of 30 floors in our high-rise office building) and everyone in the company, no matter what level, has always had their own individual office. Now, in the interests of cost-cutting, they are renovating the floors one by one, knocking out all the interior walls and making one large open area where most of us regular working folks will sit in cubicles (or as they call them, "personal workpods"). We went to look at them last week and they are AWFUL - each has a small worktable for our computer and there is barely 4 square feet of open space to sit/stand in, with walls only 3.5 feet high. I'm small (5'2") and I felt like a giant in it. Like any group of co-workers, we mostly get along with each other, but we do have some disagreements from time to time and we are all wondering how we'll manage to function for very long without killing each other. Does anyone out there in FSU-land have any advice for us? I know lots of people work in cubicles every day, and of course it's not the end of the world, but we're really worried sick about this. And does anyone have any tips about maintaining personal privacy? I have a serious medical condition (not contagious) that I've been able to keep secret from my co-workers only because I can close my door when talking on the phone with my (many) doctors. My boss knows about it and she's been great at keeping it confidential, but now I don't see how I can continue to keep it quiet. It's not that I don't trust my co-workers with the knowledge, but in my experience once I tell someone, it usually changes the relationship for the worse, because people who know usually can't help thinking that I'm dying and become awkward around me. I really don't want everyone to find out and have to deal with the resulting rumors. I know I probably can't do much about anything... I guess maybe I just needed to voice my concerns and get some advice for dealing with this all as best I can...any advice?

"Gourmet Lab" helps teachers demonstrate scientific principles through food
Thursday, October 18, 2012
Young, who earned her Master's in Science Education in 2005 from Lesley's Graduate School of Education, told the audience gathered in the University Hall Amphitheater that she had been seeking approaches to help her middle school students grasp scientific concepts, and she was at first inspired by a colleague who used cooking in class.
Her work using food to teach science eventually grew into a book, "Gourmet Lab," which was published by the National Science Teachers Association Press and is a collection of hands-on experiments (and corresponding teachers' guide) that teaches chemistry, biology and physics through cooking.
During her presentation at Lesley, Young gave the audience a taste of the lessons in her book, including an experiment that uses Hershey kisses to study thermal energy, and a lesson that involves popping popcorn to analyze mass, volume and conservation of mass and energy.
Her presentation was followed by a book signing and reception in the University Hall Atrium, during which she engaged with teachers, faculty and fellow Lesley students and alumni.
When she was a graduate student at Lesley, Young worked closely with Professor Paul Jablon – who introduced her at Tuesday's event – and completed a practicum at the Brookwood School in Manchester, MA. Since then, her career has skyrocketed, frequently pulling her away from her classroom – but always focused on teaching science.
Young now serves as Science Specialist in the Utah State Office of Education. Last year she won a prestigious Albert Einstein Fellowship and spent the year in Washington, D.C. at the National Science Foundation, where she worked with government agencies to assist them in effectively reaching teachers on various initiatives, among other work.

Wrangle Case Competition
Photo submitted by Eric Leon on 11/3/2008.
On Saturday, October 18, our U of O SIFE team competed in the 2008 Walgreens Wrangle Case Competition held in Magnolia, Arkansas, placing 1st as Champions and receiving a cash prize!
Our participating students were Josue Lanza, Claudia Aguero, Zach Almager, Marivi Davila, Juan Paz, Jorge Linares, and Daniela Chavarria, each one contributing over 36 hours of hard work and professionalism.
There were 12 SIFE teams competing (such as LSU, University of Alabama, John Brown University, University of Arkansas, West Texas A & M), which were divided into leagues of 3 and only four teams passed to the final round (U of O, University of Alabama, West Texas A & M, and Northwest Ark Community College).
The marketing case was presented by the well known Schwan's Food Company and involved analyzing specific market segments in order to propose a better product placement strategy for their home delivery product line. In other words, they were asking us how to sell more Schwan's products in areas of the United States that reported low sales of such products.
After our presentation, I was amazed to see (and hear) how other SIFE teams complimented and praised the quality and complexity of the overall material presented by our students to Schwan's. The host companies (Walgreens, Finish Line, Schwan's) were so impressed that they even offered job opportunities right away to our team. Overall, it was an incredible opportunity for our students and a fun event as well.
If you see them during the course of next week, please make sure to congratulate them. They have experienced first hand what can be accomplished with hard work and 36+ hours of sleep deprivation.

Level: Elementary
Lesson Length: 45 minutes
Objective: Past simple question forms and short answers (This
lesson would follow a lesson teaching the past simple).
Target Language: Did + subject + verb (simple form)
Short answer yes/ no + Subject + did/ did not.
were + subject + here
short answer yes/ no + Subject + were/ were not + here
Was + subject + here
short answer yes/ no + Subject + was/ was not + here
Assumed Knowledge: students should have knowldge of Past
simple (regular/irregular verbs and negative form).
Anticipated Problems: students use a past form of the verb to
make the question instead of using the simple form. E.g. Did you
student may use statemnet without using the auxiliary verb eg You
went out yesterday? instead of did you go out yesterday
Solutions: During the presentation stage draw attention to the
verb tense in the question form did + subject + verb.
Practice making questions, Error analysis excercise and having
them put scarmble sentences in order.
Preparation and Aids: Handouts, flash cards, white board ,
stage 1. Warmer: Ask students questions about their weekend, then go over homework from last lesson.
stage 2. Introduction: Show a picture of a character to the students, and elicit information from the students about the character's name. Then show them pictures of the places the character went to and things he did, this should then elicit the students to make simple past sentences such as;
'He went to a concert'
'He took his friend with him'.
stage 3. Ask the students questions about the character and what he did such as 'did he go to the concert?'
See how they answer and then correct the students.
Ask the same questions again, pay attention to how they answer and then correct any further mistakes.
stage 4.
Elicit questions by showing students flash cards of what the character did and get one student to ask another.
stage 5. Get students to ask questions to the person sitting next to them about things that are listed on the board of what the character did. e.g. 'Did he drink coffee at the concert?'
stage 6. On the board write the verbs tense in the question form, example: did + subject + verb, then get the students to copy.
stage 7. Have cards of scrambled questions in a box, chose a student to pick out a card and to put the scrambled question into a correct question. If the student gets it wrong ask the class to help and correct it with them. The student then chooses someone from the class to answer the question. The student who answers the question then either gets up to pick another card with a scrambled question and puts it in order or chooses another student.
stage 8 .Check the students' memory by sticking the cards with the scrambled questions on the board and then get the students to call out the correct questions and the answers. Write the correct questions and answers on the board for everyone to copy.
stage 9 . Students work in pairs on a handout were they will need to fill in gaps of incomplete sentences of simple past questions and answers leaving half of the questions for homework.
stage 10. Go over the answers on the handout. The student who answers the question should call on another student to answer the next question.
stage 11. Put students in new pairs then get the students to ask and answer questions about things they did in their past.
stage 12
1. The students will need to finish questions on the handout.
2. Students should read a paragraph of what the character did and make up as much simple past questions as possible.

Coffee Presses
French Press Coffee Makers
Often referred to as a "French Press," coffee presses combine ease of use with slow-brew quality, without the eco-terror of disposable filters. Using your press is simple: Start with freshly ground beans and grind them coarsely just before each brew. Add good quality, filtered water that's been heated to between 198 and 204 degrees Fahrenheit. The right temperature is essential to extract essential oils and to develop the fullest flavor from the coffee beans. Stir, then let the grounds steep in the the hot water for four minutes before pressing the plunger down to filter out the grounds. Pour and enjoy!

NYT: Gore pushed to sell Current TV before December 31 to avoid tax hikes
posted at 9:46 am on January 3, 2013 by Allahpundit
Alternate headline: "Al Gore opposed to paying his 'fair share.'"
Al Jazeera did not disclose the purchase price, but people with direct knowledge of the deal pegged it at around $500 million, indicating a $100 million payout for Mr. Gore, who owned 20 percent of Current. Mr. Gore and his partners were eager to complete the deal by Dec. 31, lest it be subject to higher tax rates that took effect on Jan. 1, according to several people who insisted on anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly. But the deal was not signed until Wednesday.
Glenn Beck reportedly tried to buy the network last year was told that they wouldn't sell to someone who wasn't "aligned with our point of view." So, naturally: Al Jazeera.

A two-day celebration of clay featuring live demonstrations, food and music, and hands-on activities for both children and adults is scheduled for Saturday, June 23 and Sunday, June 24 from noon to 6 pm at the Sharon Arts School of Art and Craft, 457 Rt.123, Sharon.
The Sharon Arts Center and the New Hampshire Institute of Art are partnering in this event to feature master clay artisans who will be onsite both days with demonstrations of how they work.
"We hope that Clayfest will be an important catalyst in creating a greater awareness of the beauty and accessibility of clay," said Sharon Arts Executive Director Keri Wiederspahn. "We're pleased to be bringing the community together in this creative and family-friendly event."
Wiederspahn added that during this year's Clayfest Sharon Arts will be introducing their Japanese Anagama Kiln Project, which they will be launching through an upcoming fundraising campaign in order to build and provide community access to a state-of-the-art Anagama kiln. Next year's Clayfest, she said, will be preceded by a four-week educational program encompassing the actual building of the Anagama, engineered with clay artist James Mitschmyer along with Japanese potter and kiln builder Koichi Ohara, a master guest artist coming from Japan to help facilitate the project.
"With fundraising success," Wiederspahn said, "the month of June next summer will allow for both the Anagama to be built and have its initial firing. Our goal is that the kiln will be the ceramics centerpiece of our region, engaging emerging and professional ceramicists, the New Hampshire Potters Guild, and undergraduate students from New Hampshire Institute of Art, Franklin Pierce University, Keene State, and Colby-Sawyer College, among others. Clayfest itself is intended to grow after the kiln is built, and to be an annual event that will incorporate a firing week into its schedule, along with public accessibility to witness the craft and purchase wares."
Master clay artisans from the New Hampshire Institute of Art who will be onsite both days with demonstrations of how they work include Maureen Mills, Chairperson of Ceramics at NHIA, Karen Orsillo, NHIA Adjunct Ceramics faculty, John Baymore, NHIA Adjunct Ceramics faculty, and Chris Archer, NHIA Ceramics faculty. On Saturday, June 23 Maureen Mills will demonstrate "Sectional Wheelthrowing" and Karen Orsillo will explain "Textured Slab-Building Techniques." On Sunday, June 24, John Baymore will do "Wheelworking Techniques," demonstrating how to make various jars, cups, and other signature forms which will incorporate and cover a variety of wheelworking techniques, and Chris Archer will demonstrate "Complex Forms," which will focus on throwing techniques and altering techniques. All of these demonstrations will be held from noon to 2 pm and again from 2 pm to 4 pm.
Ongoing through the weekend there will be outdoor firings managed by Sharon Arts faculty member and local potter Janet Duchesneau of Eastwind Pottery along with renowned New Hampshire potter Glen MacInnis. Visitors will be able to witness Raku firings, Saggar Pit firings, and sawdust firings.
Hands-on workshops will be available as well. On Saturday from 4 to 6 pm, Sharon Arts faculty member James Mitschmyer will lead a segment on printing on clay. On Sunday from 1 to 3 pm Duchesneau will be leading an introductory segment on creating with clay, covering basic handbuilding and wheel techniques.
Youth-specific workshops will include Handbuilding for Kids on Saturday from noon to 3 pm with New Hampshire clay artist Shana Brautigam of Rooted in Clay. Also on Saturday, from 3 to 6 pm, Sharon Arts faculty member Connie Gray will lead a mini-class on creating with Polymer Clay. On Sunday from noon to 3 pm Karrie Mitschmyer will lead a mini-class on creative sculpture for kids. These youth offerings are open to ages 6 through 12. Younger children accompanied by a parent are welcome.
Participants are limited to eight per workshop, and sign-ups will be taken the day of the event. Observers are welcome at all demonstrations.
In addition to the weekend's activities, information about the proposed Anagama Kiln will be available as well as an onsite temporary weekend gallery featuring artisan wares for sale. Featured artists will include participating NHIA faculty, Sharon Arts Center juried crafters, and Sharon Arts Center students and faculty. Displayed work will represent a diverse cross-section of styles of functional and decorative pieces.
"Clayfest promises to be a favorite event," Wiederspahn said, "and we're excited to see how we can continue to build interest and accessibility to this vital art form and its community-building process."
Outdoor firings will be ongoing throughout the weekend.Exhibition/sale items will be on display throughout the weekend.

The CO2 problem in 6 easy steps
We often get requests to provide an easy-to-understand explanation for why increasing CO2 is a significant problem without relying on climate models and we are generally happy to oblige. The explanation has a number of separate steps which tend to sometimes get confused and so we will try to break it down carefully.
Step 1: There is a natural greenhouse effect.
The fact that there is a natural greenhouse effect (that the atmosphere restricts the passage of long wave (LW) radiation from the Earth's surface to space) is easily deducible from i) the mean temperature of the surface (around 15ºC) and ii) knowing that the planet is roughly in radiative equilibrium. This means that there is an upward surface flux of LW around (~390 W/m2), while the outward flux at the top of the atmosphere (TOA) is roughly equivalent to the net solar radiation coming in (1-a)S/4 (~240 W/m2). Thus there is a large amount of LW absorbed by the atmosphere (around 150 W/m2) – a number that would be zero in the absence of any greenhouse substances.
Step 2: Trace gases contribute to the natural greenhouse effect.
The fact that different absorbers contribute to the net LW absorption is clear from IR spectra taken from space which show characteristic gaps associated with water vapour, CO2, CH4, O3 etc (Harries et al, 2001; HITRAN). The only question is how much energy is blocked by each. This cannot be calculated by hand (the number of absorption lines and the effects of pressure broadening etc. preclude that), but it can be calculated using line-by-line radiative transfer codes. The earliest calculations (reviewed by Ramanathan and Coakley, 1979) give very similar results to more modern calculations (Clough and Iacono, 1995), and demonstrate that removing the effect of CO2 reduces the net LW absorbed by ~14%, or around 30 W/m2. For some parts of the spectrum, IR can be either absorbed by CO2 or by water vapour, and so simply removing the CO2 gives only a minimum effect. Thus CO2 on its own would cause an even larger absorption. In either case however, the trace gases are a significant part of what gets absorbed.
Step 3: The trace greenhouse gases have increased markedly due to human emissions
CO2 is up more than 30%, CH4 has more than doubled, N2O is up 15%, tropospheric O3 has also increased. New compounds such as halocarbons (CFCs, HFCs) did not exist in the pre-industrial atmosphere. All of these increases contribute to an enhanced greenhouse effect.
Step 4: Radiative forcing is a useful diagnostic and can easily be calculated
Lessons from simple toy models and experience with more sophisticated GCMs suggests that any perturbation to the TOA radiation budget from whatever source is a pretty good predictor of eventual surface temperature change. Thus if the sun were to become stronger by about 2%, the TOA radiation balance would change by 0.02*1366*0.7/4 = 4.8 W/m2 (taking albedo and geometry into account) and this would be the radiative forcing (RF). An increase in greenhouse absorbers or a change in the albedo have analogous impacts on the TOA balance. However, calculation of the radiative forcing is again a job for the line-by-line codes that take into account atmospheric profiles of temperature, water vapour and aerosols. The most up-to-date calculations for the trace gases are by Myhre et al (1998) and those are the ones used in IPCC TAR and AR4.

"I'm not a vacuum expert and this may seem like a stupid question, but does this particular vacuum have a filter? If so, is it one that needs replaced or can it be washed like I've been reading on other vacuums?"
This vacuum picks up more dirt and animal hair than we could have imagined. The dirt cup fills up quickly and is very easy to empty. The head on the vacuum is smaller than other vacuums we have had so it is easier to get into smaller areas....

Best vacuum
This is the best vacuum I have ever owned, and I've had a few. I have two cats and I could not believe the amount of suction this unit has. It was so easy to use and is especially great with picking up pet hair. I also have a bad back and could not use my previous vacuum because it was to heavy and awkward now I can do it easily. I highly recommend this vacuum.Read More
As expected
I owned a shark years ago and had been wanting to purchase another one so when our current vacuum died on us I was happy to find this refurbished on withiin our budget. The shipping was quick, thanks O! and I have been using it for almost a month and all of the features/attachments work as they should. I am a daily vacuumer because I have allergies and small children (no pets) and it performs. There is no loss of suction as advertised and the lift away feature makes it easy to get all of the floorboards and crevices. What I love about this vacuum is how easy it is to manuver including how light it is. Definitely an awesome buy, highly recommend. The product was refurbished so there were some cosmetic scuffs etc but that was expected and explained. The vacuum works like new and as described.Read More

I love this vacuum!
This vacuum is the best one I have ever owned. I was a little hesitant to try out a refurbished product, but it has exceeded my expectations. It has really great suction and pulled stuff out of my carpet that I had no idea was even there. I'm embarrassed to say that I had to empty the canister twice before ever leaving the living room. That's how much stuff my old vacuum was leaving behind that I couldn't see. I also love the size of this vacuum since we live in a small house, and don't want to use the space that we have to store a lot of housekeeping items. This vacuum is so versatile. the wand comes off easily (but not too easily), and the attachments are awesome. One of the only disappointments that I have is that the little rotary brush attachment doesn't have a place to be stored on the vacuum like the crevice and dusting attachment does. I'm afraid that I might lose it, and it's a great little attachment. Like a lot of other reviewers, I will also say that it doesn't edge well, but I am ok with that. I just run the crevice tool along the baseboards and in corners, and that takes care of it. Also, I have not used a broom to sweep any of my hard-covered floors including the bathroom) since I got this vacuum. Why should I? I just use the vacuum, and it misses less than when I sweep. Truly a great purchase, and I'm completely satisfied with a refurbished item!Read More
Darn Good
As described. The only drawback I now see that I didn't before purchase was that it doesn't have a very wide pickup swath. This is a good thing for tight areas, but makes larger, open areas longer to do.Read More

Prepare you mind for the apocalypse.
We all know having the proper supplies, tools, and even clothes for the apocalypse is vital. We prepare our bodies with exercise and diet, but how do we prepare our mind? How do we ready ourselves for the predators who will use mental tricks and manipulation to assert their will?
I recently read an article about Pick up Artistry or PUA. It's a school of thinking and series of behaviors designed to coach men that women aren't interested in to manipulate, bully, and otherwise deceive their way into bed.
There's a book, The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists by Neil Strauss, about understanding and employing this technique that has a nearly perfect score on amazon with about 720 reviews. Overwhelmingly, these Seven Hundred and Twenty people, likely a vast majority of men found topics like "Selecting a Target" and "Isolating the Target" to be valuable information.
Read the book, not to become this kind of person but to recognize them when they approach you, your friends, your daughter. Explain to your friends and relative what it looks like to be manipulated by a Pick up Artist. Every potential victim needs to not only be confident in their own mind and cues it's providing but also aware of what might be churning in the mind of that seemingly vulnerable man who needs help on the other side of those buildings.

An idea has hatched! Cute little guy. Now it's squirming away in your brain and it's starting to feel a little funny. You'll want to get that out of your head and onto a shirt before this turns into Scanners. But hold up a second. Don't we want to be sure the little rascal is given the best opportunity to succeed in life? This design needs some serious nutrition if it's going to blossom – not just the sugary sweetness of a halftone tutorial or line art demo. We're talking the meat and potatoes of good art: the Principles of Art. So grab a fork and knife and let's dig in...
Movement is how the design gives a sense of action as well as how it leads the eye through the composition. The goal here is to lead the viewer through the design without sending them into a dead-end or out into the abyss. With that in mind we want to design our primary elements so that they flow into one another as much as possible. This doesn't always mean that they literally connect.
In Sun Wukong (above), Sun Wukong's tail points back to the wrap with leads back into the center of the design. Follow up through the head and out the feather and it leads directly to the branch in the background. The primary design flow in this case is a figure eight. The staff points out in a way that might lead the viewer out of the design for good. To try to bring the eye back, the end of the staff is placed roughly along an imaginary arc created by the top branch, staff, tail and the bottom of the tree. Ideally the eye would be pulled along this imaginary arc back into the design.

Emphasis is the part of the design that the viewer is primarily drawn to. A design without an emphasis or focal point can feel amorphous and without purpose. You can achieve emphasis by many means, including placement, color, complexity, and focal length. We humans are also naturally drawn to faces, and eyes in particular. In addition, if a figure within the design is looking at something, we will naturally follow their gaze to see what it is.
There can be little doubt where the emphasis is in Robbie Lee's Oh, Hole-y night (above). Despite the fact that the design covers the entire shirt and there's a lot going on in it, we're instantly drawn to the sun character in the upper right. It's bright yellow, a face, and the only warm color in the design. In addition it features the area with the most visual activity, the hand and scissors. The more complicated the design, the more you need to focus on an emphasis so that your viewer isn't lost, wandering the design without an anchor.

Sea of Galilee by Rembrandt
Harmony and balance are how the elements coexist. If something seems to be overpowering the design, then it lacks harmony or balance. One of the most common places this can materialize is in the design's composition. People have been exploring harmony in composition for centuries, using concepts like the Golden Ratio to help balance their compositions.
It's helpful to think of composition in terms of weights, which is determined by the amount and types of shape and color you add. Put too much of something on the left, and you need to balance it out on the right with something of equal weight. In the Sun Wukong design, the background tree was added to balance the top-left to bottom-right diagonal of Sun Wukong's character. This X shape composition is a classic solution to dramatic diagonal compositions and can be found throughout Art History. Similarly, the colors were chosen with a focus on balance. A small bit of warm, intense red can have the same weight as a large amount of cool blue, as is the case here. Had the colors been reversed this design would have seemed wildly out of balance.
Keep in mind that a large empty space has weight as well. This is why a side-placed vertical design such as It was a dark and stormy night by ISO30 (above) still feels balanced on a tee – it has a large empty space on the opposite side that can carry as much weight as the design itself. Harmony and balance is a great design principle to visit when you're placing your design on a tee.

Good contrast is when the elements in the design conflict with one other in a harmonious way. Drama is inherently interesting; pitting two things against each other helps create that drama. The Umbrellas by cmdixon2 (above) is filled with it. The colors are split-complementary, with a cool blue opposing the warm orange and yellow. They're also so bright that they immediately jump off of the dark asphalt background. The contrasts aren't limited to color; the long, flowing shapes of the running paint/ink contrast beautifully with the pointed, octagonal shapes of the umbrellas. The straight, vertical fall of the rain also contrasts with the meandering, horizontal flow of the running colors. The Umbrellas is masterful example of using contrast to create drama. You guys know all about drama so don't be afraid to add it to your tees!

I've often wondered (usually when making a payment on student loans) how I might have done with a bunch of books and some gumption.
Wonderful post, woot. A+ lesson and a great resource. It's easy to lose sight of these principles of design and just focus on concept.
I'd like to see a sequel to this on how these concepts relate to the quirks of composition within a T-shirt design versus composition within a rectangle. For example, composition that works on a variety of shirt sizes, where to place the image and (usually) avoiding putting the focus on the tummy or breasts (can I say "breasts"?), etc.
Fantastic post TGentry!
I've been trying to concentrate more and more on my overall composition as of late, with a focus on the Golden Ratio and the Rule of Thirds (both of which are related). It's lead to some non-traditional placement, which has received fairly positive feedback.
I think it's important to note that the "T-Shirt as a canvas" idea is important here--the design will not be printed on the internet in a vacuum.

Man, I'd really love to buy another one of those Noted shirts. The one I bought earlier ran really small and didn't fit after a few washings/pounds gained.
Love that design, so thanks for bringing it back to my mind.

To Reinhabit Deep Time
Both the progressive destruction of our world and our capacity to slow down and stop that destruction can be understood as a function of our experience of time.
We members of post-industrial societies in the closing years of the twentieth century have an idiosyncratic and probably unprecedented experience of time. It can be likened to an ever-shrinking box, in which we race on a treadmill at increasingly frenetic speeds. Cutting us off from other rhythms of life, this box cuts us off from the past and future as well. It blocks our perceptual field of time while allowing only the briefest experience of time.
Until we break out of this temporal trap, we will not be able to fully perceive or adequately address the crisis we have created for ourselves and the generations to come. Yet reflections on our relationship to time and some promising new approaches for changing it suggest that we may be able to inhabit time in a healthier, saner fashion. By opening up our experience of time in organic, ecological, and even geological terms and in revitalizing relationship with other species, other eras--we can allow life to continue on Earth.

Prescribed Fire in Georgia
Prescribed Fire at FDR State Park
Overview of FDR State Park Prescribed Fire Program
50-year plan: In 2007, a 50-year resource management plan was initiated for Georgia's largest state park, FD Roosevelt. An array of partners contributed to the management plan, including all WRD sections, the Georgia Forestry Commission, U.S. Forest Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, The Nature Conservancy, Callaway Gardens, and local public and private stakeholders. Finalized in 2009, the 50-year plan outlines goals and objectives to conserve and maintain the resources of the park. Among the stated priorities in the plan is the maintenance of a prescribed fire program to serve multiple management objectives.
(Above left: A component of fire-adapted communities, little bluestem is a native warm-season grass that provides nest sites for birds and seeds as food for small mammals and birds. Right: A longleaf seedling sprouts beside a cone. Longleaf seeds germinate on recently burned ground. Excessive amounts of pine litter can inhibit germination.)
To date: There have been four prescribed burns totaling 1,535 acres, or 17% of the park. Initial fires have generally been set during wet weather to reduce fuels safely and minimize negative impacts to recreation and aesthetics. One burn is planned for 2011. Prescribed burns include a lengthy planning and review process that details burn objectives, weather parameters, safety measures, contingency plans, equipment needs and many other aspects.
(Right: A controlled burn creeps toward a road. Prescribed fires involve thorough planning, including use when possible of roads, creeks and other barriers as firebreaks to minimize disturbance.)
According to FDR fire program goals, prescribed fire is being used to:
(The same area on FDR the day before a prescribed burn (left), then two months (middle) and nine months later. Biologists estimate the area had not been burned in at least 80 years, suppressing the continuation of longleaf pine and oak/hickory forests.)
Prescribed fire perspective:
(Above: Fire program goals include reducing fuels in the forest and restoring native ecosystems.)
Summary: Fire is only one aspect of the 50-year resource plan. Other tools mentioned include management of deer, invasive species, and fisheries, monitoring vegetation changes, monitoring fire effects, rare species conservation, and safeguarding of rare plant species. The prescribed fire program is working to protect the remaining longleaf pine on the park from catastrophic wildfire. It is not a goal of the prescribed fire program to change the forest cover types of the park.
There is strong support from numerous conservation organizations (Audubon Society, Nature Conservancy, Longleaf Alliance, Georgia Prescribed Fire Council and others) for DNR's current management efforts at FDR. Fire has been an important factor in shaping the forests of FDR State Park, and prescribed burning is a necessary and desirable management tool to protect and perpetuate these forests.
(Top: This burned area will green up a week or two after the next rain. Bottom: Come spring, new life colors the landscape in the wake of controlled burns. Dwarf violet iris is part of the longleaf and dry oak forests at FDR State Park.)
Wildlife that benefit from prescribed fires include the brown-headed nuthatch (left), fox squirrel and red-headed woodpecker. (Woodpecker photo: Phillip Jordan)

The state is in search of volunteers needed to review foster care in Hardin County.
The Kentucky General Assembly created the Citizen Foster Care Review Board, or CFCRB, in 1982 as a way to decrease the time Kentucky children spend in foster care.
The role of the board, which operates within a division of the Administrative Office of the Courts, is to work with the Cabinet for Health and Family Services and local courts to find safe, permanent homes for children removed from their families because of abuse, dependency and neglect.
In early 2010, an estimated 17,000 Kentucky children were being cared for by someone other than their parents.
Statewide, about 800 CFCRB volunteers preside on boards that oversee foster care in Kentucky communities. Volunteers are not required to reside in the county where a board meets.
Potential volunteers must complete a six-hour training session and submit to background checks. Successful volunteers are appointed to the CFCRB by the Chief District or a Family Court judge.
Hardin County board members meet at noon on the third Tuesday of each month at the Department for Community Based Services office at 916 N. Mulberry St. in Elizabethtown.
For more information about volunteering with the Hardin County CFCRB, contact Family Services Coordinator Melissa Huffman at (270) 651-1429.

Please read through my review for a Pro Tip
This creative journal is realllllly awesome. It opens flat, and the way that they made it is really smart. When you open it, to the left (the inside front cover) is an envelope. Watch videos on YouTube (just type Dylusions Creative Journal in the search box) to get the full tour of how kick butt this journal is in addition to some great inspiration. It takes wet media very well. The paper in this journal was made to hold up to a myriad of Dyan Reaveley's techniques and it does so quite well. The cover is incredibly sturdy.
The reason this is getting 4 stars out of 5 is because for some reason my manilla pages soaked up the Dylusions Spray right away, like a dry sponge. No one else seems to have that problem, so I'm assuming it was just mine.
Pro Tip:
If you want to protect your cover until you are ready to do things to it, use washi tape in vertical strips to protect it. Using Vertical strips of washi tape works best because of the eyelet that holds the journal closed is horizontal; it will cover up the area AROUND the eyelet where the strap is, while still being able to use the strap freely.
One more Pro Tip is to use a strip of washi tape to protect the binding on the page(s) your working on so your medium doesn't sink into it and possibly contaminate some other pages. Take the washi tape off when you're done with the page, or don't, whatever you choose!
I ordered the large journal. I especially love this journal because it is so easy to create a 2-page spread. The paper is of heavy weight so you can use many different types of art media. I also love the thick outside covers, the large envelope inside the front cover, and the band that secures the journal when not in use. It is an exceptional value for the price!
great customer service, awesome product, great quality. Very happy. Will continue to shop here.

Looking for a great cake options for a spring party or for a wedding or baby shower? Try baking this adorable bird's nest chocolate cake.
Bake two or three layers of your favorite cake according to package directions (chocolate cake from Duff Goldman by Gartner Studios is recommended, of course). Cool layers after baking. Frost between layers and stack.
Using a small knife, carve out a slight impression in the top of the cake to create a "nest." Chill cake.
Make a ganache for frosting the cake. Heat 2/3 cup heavy cream until hot (do not boil). Remove from heat. Add 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips and let sit for five minutes. Mix well until smooth. Cool until slightly thickened. Gently spoon ganache over cake. Let it run down the sides and into the nest area until the cake is entirely covered. Clean up any excess that may have dripped onto the serving plate.
Using a chocolate bar and potato peeler, make a nest by gently peeling the edge of the chocolate bar onto a paper plate. Arrange the shreds into the impression at the top of the cake. Hey – it's a nest!
Make cake pops (pre-baked, crumbled cake mixed with frosting) and shape cake pops into eggs and chill in the fridge. Melt blue dipping chocolate. Carefully dip the chilled cake pop eggs into the melted candy coating and place onto wax paper. Refrigerate to set and then place into nest.
Finish the cake by piping a reverse shell border around the bottom edge of the cake. Use a pastry bag and #18 star tip.

I have to wonder if they'll think you're a giant sunflower.
I don't know. I just won't feel comfortable working my hives looking like this. :-Dhttp://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/muppet/images/f/f6/Big-bird.jpgSeriously, if it only cost $5 I'd give it a try.Regards,tucker1
Well, I guess it's easier poking fun than giving straight answers.White is recommended because bees react more to colors as they darken. White the least, black the most.Any light, pastel color will work fine. Any dark, deep colors may cause problems. I would second the idea of washing it in strong clorox water.BY ITSELF!!!!!!
JP, there ain't a bigger joker on this forum them me, but I do try to put a serious answer in with it when called for. It wasn't just one post, but 6 or 8 without a serious answer. Besides, I'm jealous over your weather, so I'm gonna give you a hard time until it warms up here. :-P :-P :-*Bee Happy, it is said that bees see red as black. It might backfire on you.
... Any light, pastel color will work fine...

I am currently tweaking the templates that I currently have to create a suit of The Clone Wars Death Watch style armor out of sintra.
The armor will include everything except for the helmet, gauntlets, back plate, and jetpack.
The armor set will include:
- Neck plate
- Left chest plate with identification tabs cut out and backing plate
- Right chest plate
- Diamond with raised center rectangle
- Abdominal plate
- Cod piece with edges bent around in a 3D style
- Left and right thigh plates with accurate holsters
- Two knee plates
- Two shin plates
- Two sets of boot plates, including top and back
- Two hand plates
- Belt plates customized to your size (leather belt not provided)
Two packages will be available.
Package 1 ($75)
Flat cut-out plates which will require glueing and shaping of all pieces. Will include an instruction sheet.
Package 2 ($100)
All pieces are put together and shaped according to Clone Wars graphics. This package will be slightly more expensive due to cost of glue and shipping (3D takes up a little more space than 2D)
I plan on offering these in runs of 5. The price is still being worked out, so it may go down before the first set is offered. I am currently working on the prototype set, so pictures will be posted soon of both the flat and shaped/built versions.
If you would be interested in purchasing a set, please post here. These posts are strictly for interest and require you to buy nothing. The interest generated here, as well as at a couple of other forums, will be used to determine the feasibility of this project. If I can get at least 1 full run's worth of people, then the project will be a go.
Payments will be taken via paypal only, no checks or money orders. Runs will be first-paid/first-served with those interested set up for the next run.
Current sizing of the armor will be posted once the prototype is created. However, since I drafted these templates myself, they can and will be modified into at least a S/M and L/XL set (with the L/XL set as the prototype). Additional specializations will be considered (such as modification to the holster size), but may adjust the price. Details will be worked out via PM before order is placed.
Shipping will be via UPS and will be covered in the price of the armor. Shipping out of the United States will increase the price, though I do not know the exact amount at this time.
So, with the fine print all types up, anyone interested? Pictures to come!
