Dog door?
So our house has a dog door, it was here when we bought the house. We have used it with our foster dogs in the past but they were always mostly house broken an over 3 years old. We will be bringing our pup home at 8 weeks. Am I right in saying that we should not use the dog door until she is house broke completely? We need to upgrade it since it an older door and it is not efficient at all. I have to be very careful when it is open because my twins(they are two) like to sneak outside while it is open. Also I will not leave it open when we are gone for a by long time.....I will crate her until she is beyond trustworthy.

Yes. Please be careful with a puppy and letting the out of your sight. I would say keep them under constant surveillance or crate them when you can't watch them.

I would say you're right to potty train without the doggy door. You may not always have a doggy door.. although useful (just moved into my first house with a doggy door myself :) ) and you wouldn't want them relying on that instead of you.

I have potty trained all 4 dogs I've had with them having access to a doggy door. Once the are potty trained they don't have accidents in the house even if we lock the doggy door.

I love love love having a dog door. I've housebroken 4 Italian Greyhounds, and 3 GSDs with a dog door available.
I'll use my 1-year-old-tomorrow Russell as an example. I got him when he was somewhere between 9-10 weeks old. I literally took him outside every 30-45 minutes, and I think that was the key to making him understand that OUTDOORS was where you peed and pooped. He never got a chance to have an accident in the house because I swooped him outdoors so often. At the same time, I also taught him to go in and out of the dog door. Of course, he thought that was so much fun to have a portal to the outside world. I have a very secure dog yard, so safety isn't much of an issue. Being a smart boy, it didn't take him long to figure out he could go out and pee and poop without my assistance. I didn't rely on him doing this himself, but still kept taking him outside constantly.
As for not knowing what to do if there is no dog door, or if the dog door is closed, my dogs will jump on the door to let me know they need to go out. They know that doors lead to the outside. They do this when we go to a dog show, and stay in a hotel room. If one of them needs to go, they go to the door. If you don't want them jumping on the door, you could always hang bells and have them touch those instead.

Want to add that I still crate Russell at 12 months old if I can't keep an eye on him. And when we go to bed.
I do have a secure backyard....but I also have 4 small kiddos so have toys in the backyard. A swing set, trampoline, and smallish toys also. Also the dog door happens to be in the kids playroom(sunroom) which has the only door to the outside. Also the people who had the house put landscaping rocks outside, peddles and lava rocks....argh....so I worry about the puppy eating those and frankly they are a worry with my kiddos to.

Ah! Admittedly it's much easier for me since I don't have children at home.
I have 2 adult GSDs that use the dog door, so I really needed to teach the puppy to use it too. If you don't have other dogs that use the door, then I'd just keep it closed and housebreak without it. It's easy enough to use it down the road if you decide to later.
When I got my boy at 12 weeks, I took him outside the side door to potty. When he was done I took him around to the doggie pen and put him inside it. Then I went inside and called him into the spa room. It was a game.
After he had that perfected, I went all the way inside the house. This was harder because he didn't like the double flapps but he soon had that as well. Because he wanted to be with me.
Then I had to reverse it to get him to go the other way. We made it a game. Find me. I would go into the spa room and call him or I would go all the way outside and call him. When he found me he would get praise and attention.
Now he had the doggie doors down but connecting it with potty was another matter. I had him pretty much on a schedule of taking him outside to potty had to convince him he wanted to go outside on his own. I have other dogs so this is where having other dogs helps tremendously. Instead of taking him outside first thing in the morning after being crated at night I encouraged him out the doggie door with the other dogs. Great worked awesome in the daytime...
After a couple of accidents in the house I realized he was scared to go outside in the dark. So it was doggie door in the day, me taking him out in the evening. To get him used to the pen in the dark, after taking him out to go potty I would walk around and put him in the pen...where he promptly ran in the house.
So we just started to wonder around outside at night in the dark. Tasha one of my older dogs loves basketball so we would go around the outside of the house with me kicking the basketball. Finding the basketball in the dark was fun. I guess. Because pretty soon it wasn't so scary.
Now at 14 weeks he is pretty much potty trained. I haven't had an accident in the house in about 4 or 5 days now. (knock on wood) LOL
We still do a combo of me taking him outside for exercise and play and potty breaks but if he needs to go between potty breaks he is using the doggie door both day and evening. :)

This week AMD finally released their AMD 6200 and 4200 series CPUs. These are the long-awaited server-oriented Interlagos and Valencia CPUs, based on their new "Bulldozer" core, offering up to 16 x86 cores in a single socket. The announcement was targeted at (drum roll, one guess per customer only) … "The Cloud." AMD appears to be positioning its new architectures as the platform of choice for cloud-oriented workloads, focusing on highly threaded throughput oriented benchmarks that take full advantage of its high core count and unique floating point architecture, along with what look like excellent throughput per Watt metrics.
At the same time it is pushing the now seemingly mandatory "cloud" message, AMD is not ignoring the meat-and-potatoes enterprise workloads that have been the mainstay of server CPUs sales –virtualization, database, and HPC, where the combination of many cores, excellent memory bandwidth and large memory configurations should yield excellent results. In its competitive comparisons, AMD targets Intel's 5640 CPU, which it claims represents Intel's most widely used Xeon CPU, and shows very favorable comparisons in regards to performance, price and power consumption. Among the features that AMD cites as contributing to these results are:

What's the Big Deal?
Emerging ARM server Calxeda has been hinting for some time that they had a significant partnership announcement in the works, and while we didn't necessarily not believe them, we hear a lot of claims from startups telling us to "stay tuned" for something big. Sometimes they pan out, sometimes they simply go away. But this morning Calxeda surpassed our expectations by unveiling just one major systems partner – but it just happens to be Hewlett Packard, which dominates the WW market for x86 servers.
At its core (unintended but not bad pun), the HP Hyperscale business unit Project Moonshot and Calxeda's server technology are about improving the efficiency of web and cloud workloads, and promises improvements in excess of 90% in power efficiency and similar improvements in physical density compared with current x86 solutions. As I noted in my first post on ARM servers and other documents, even if these estimates turn out to be exaggerated, there is still a generous window within which to do much, much, better than current technologies. And workloads (such as memcache, Hadoop, static web servers) will be selected for their fit to this new platform, so the workloads that run on these new platforms will potentially come close to the cases quoted by HP and Calxeda.

I am seriously considering teachin english in Asia to start with but after reading all the different posts I realise my chances of getting employed are narrowed down by the following factors:
1) I hold no degree
2) My english is fluent but I don't consider myself as a native speaker, even though i do have a british passport
3) I have no teaching experience.
I can't really do much about 1) being 32 and having to pay bills I can't afford spending 4 years with almost no income only to get a degree.
I guess 2) is not such a problem for finding a job but would I lose credibility among other native teachers?
number 3) is the reason why I post this message, I want to start by taking an online TEFL course to get a taste of it, then going on site for serious training and teaching experience with real students.
Now, given my situation I would greatly appreciate some feedback or comments on this forum. Is it worth trying? Or will I most likely have serious limited options when looking for a job?
Thanks in advance

Freed Niger hostages say were not mistreated
By Abdoulaye Massalatchi
NIAMEY (Reuters) - Five African aid workers freed on Saturday after nearly three weeks as hostages in the Sahara desert said they were relieved to be back with their families in Niger and that their captors did not mistreat them.
A sixth aid worker - who was also kidnapped - was shot during the abduction in central Niger on October 14 and later died of his wounds, they said.
"It is a feeling of joy and satisfaction now that we have been able to rejoin our families and friends, but there is a sadness as well, the loss of one of our colleagues," said Garba Yaye Issa, one of the aid workers, at a news conference in Niger's capital Niamey, hours after being released.
"We don't know where we were during our captivity. During that time, we were not mistreated either mentally or physically. We don't know who abducted us, but they spoke Arab as well as Tamashek and Hausa," he said.
Niger Defence Minister Karidio Mahamadou told Reuters he suspected the kidnappers belonged to an al Qaeda-linked group called MUJWA, which along with Ansar Dine has taken control of about two-thirds of Mali's north since a coup in March.
"The kidnappers were from MUJWA, no doubt," Mahamadou said. "Up to now, though, we have seen no claim of responsibility."
Gunmen kidnapped the six aid workers, who included five citizens of Niger and one from Chad, from the town of Dakoro in central Niger overnight on October 14.
Officials said they believe the group were driven to a region of neighboring Mali now in the hands of Islamists. Continued...

I have wondered what you folks up north do for chickens in the cold winter. It has been down as low as 12F here the past couple of nights. The heat light I have in there doesn't seem to be doing much for them. I was a little leery putting a space heater out there.... so I didn't.Also.... I noticed as they were bedding down last night a drop of blood on one of the rooster's comb. I didn't see any cuts or gashes. Then this morning there was blood on the feeder where he was feeding and his comb was rubbing on it. His comb now appears to have several points of his comb bleeding. Could this be caused by frostbite?
I serve them some hotmash with cracked corn on those bitter mornings and sometimes in late afternoon before they head into the coops at night.They do look forward to the hot mash in the mornings now though and follow me all the way to the house if I don't have it out already when I let them out of the coop.
Our house weather station indicates that is is currently -5 C (23 F), we are not used this cold, it is fricking freezin'!!!!.

In-Game Blog/Box Score
COLLEGE PARK, Md. — On Saturday evening, lightning struck the Cornell lacrosse team's hotel in College Park. If lightning strikes the same place twice, the Big Red will have a chance to see it again next weekend.
The Cornell men's lacrosse team methodically picked apart one of the nation's best defenses on its own homefield, caused havoc on defense, dominated special teams and controlled every aspect of the game in topping No. 6 seed Maryland 16-8 on Sunday afternoon at Byrd Stadium in the first round of the 2013 NCAA Tournament. The Big Red improved to 13-3, while the two-time defending national finalst Terrapins had their season end at 10-4.
Fifth-year senior Rob Pannell continued his assault on the Cornell record book with a seven point day against Maryland, moving into second place on the school's career goal scoring list with 143. That mark ranks eighth in Ivy League history. His favorite target, classmate Steve Mock, became the first Big Red player to post at least 50 goals in a season since Mike French in 1976 with his four scores. Mock also set a Cornell record with fastest consecutive goals by the same player when he found the back of the net twice within five seconds of the game clock midway through the fourth quarter.
The duo might have spearheaded the offense, but it was the defense and face-off game that set the tone. Senior AJ Fiore had 12 saves, including a number at key moments, Cornell dominated loose balls off the ground (43-29) and won 16-of-26 face-offs behind Doug Tesoriero, who won 15-of-25 face-offs with 13 ground balls and even assisted on a goal in the win. Jordan Stevens caused five turnovers and won six ground balls and the unit of Tom Freshour, Jason Noble and Thomas Keith made play after play in front of Fiore.
The successful face-off unit wasn't all special teams provided. Cornell converted on 2-of-3 extra-man opportunities and held the high-powered Terps to 0-for-4 on the extra-man.
The first midfield trio of Max Van Bourgondien, Connor Buczek and Connor English each had a goal and an assist. In all, 11 players were credited with at least one point, with Matt Donovan posting two goals and an assist with four ground ball wins.
Entering the game, Maryland was allowing just 7.6 goals per game and had allowed 10 goals or more just three times. Cornell did that work in the second half alone, outscoring the home team 10-4. That came after a first half the visitors controlled, but couldn't put away. The Big Red led 6-4 at halftime, but it felt as though a Maryland run was always on the horizon.
It never came. Maryland only scored consecutive goals once in the game, and that came early in the second quarter.
In a series Cornell entered trailing 13-3-1, the Big Red improved to 3-1 all-time against the Terrapins in NCAA tournament play. With legendary Cornell coach and Maryland alum Richie Moran in the stands, Cornell played with the fire and passion it was missing in its Ivy League tournament semifinal loss at home to Princeton, a game that likely forced the Big Red on the road in the first round.
That effort could easily be stated by looking at one play. Leading 9-6 with under four minutes to play in the third quarter, Maryland's John Haus sent a shot wide. Senior Jason Noble beat the Terp's backup to the end line after what seemed like a sure Maryland possession, diving and landing with his stick at the end line before the jogging Maryland player. That triggered a run that started with a no-look, spinning goal by Rob Pannell with 37 seconds left in the half and ended when Buczek tallied with just 2:16 left in the game. In between, Cornell scored seven of eight goals and turned a tight three-goal game into a 16-7 rout.
Haus was Maryland's lone multi-goal scorer with two, while goalkeeper Niko Amato made 10 saves before being pulled with less than six minutes remaining. Jake Bernhardt and leading scorer Kevin Cooper each had a goal and an assist for the offense, while Jesse Bernhardt caused five turnovers, won nine ground balls and scored the Terps' first goal.
Less than a minute and a half into the game, Cornell led 2-0 and the tone was set. The Big Red drew first blood with Donovan taking a feed from Van Bourgondien just 41 seconds into the contest. Tesoriero won his second straight face-off and Pannell found Mock 44 seconds later to make it 2-0 before Maryland had even touched the ball.
After trading possessions, Jesse Bernhardt took a pass from Amato in transition and the longstick went right down the field and scored on a bounce shot to make it 2-1. That only slowed Cornell down for a minute though, as Pannell beat his defender around the crease and buried a quick shot with his left hand while drawing a penalty to make it 3-1. With no face-off, Pannell carried until he found Mock in the middle of the zone for his 50th of the year to extend the lead to 4-1 with 6:01 remaining in the first quarter.
Still up 4-3 in the second, Pannell took it into his own hands and snapped the two-goal Maryland run, spinning away from a defender and beating Amato for his fourth point of the day to make it 5-3. Van Bourgondien made it 6-3 after English found him open with a quick pass to the wing. The score came right after Fiore stoned a Maryland shot on the other end. The teams traded goals to make it 6-4 at the half.
Pannell opened the second half with a goal, beating the Maryland zone by finding an open space and netting his 39th of the year for his fifth point of the day. Amato narrowly kept it from getting to 8-4 with a point-blank save on Mock after a great feed from Pannell. Instead, Maryland's Haus beat a defender, used a fake and scored to cut it to 7-5.
That was as close as it would get for Maryland. Chris Cook found John Edmonds after Pannell drew a slide and earned a quick hockey assist to extend it back to 8-5 and moments later English scored on a quick strike that beat Amato over his right shoulder and pinged the corner to make it 9-5.
Pannell's no-look goal closed out the scoring in the third and Maryland wasn't able to get a shot off after drawing a penalty that spanned the third and fourth quarters. Fiore made two early saves in the fourth and Pannell's offense took care of the rest. The fifth-year senior's seventh point of the day came on a feed to an open Donovan, who only needed to catch it undefended and shoot it straight into the net.
Cornell doubled up the Terps after Pannell drew a flag for a 30-second man-up, then watched as his protege Donovan found a cutting Dan Lintner to make it 12-6, forcing a Maryland timeout with 10:47 remaining.
After Owen Blye got one back for the home team, Mock scored two goals in five seconds to put it away. THose two goals started a 4-0 Big Red run that sealed the win. Jake Bernhardt scored a late goal for Maryland to close out the scoring, but it was too late for a comeback.


text: Too many variables in your question to give you a valid answer. One would need to use a pressure barrel and measure each load to have any kind of accuracy. "+P" is a pressure issue, which can be changed drastically by changing the cartridge overall length. Powder is only one of the factors. Case capacity affects pressure, and even that varies between cases from the same manufacturer in the same lots. Most, if not all, loading manuals will indicate pressure for each load they list. That would be the best place to begin to find the answers you are looking for. Bullets (or "boolits", sigh ) also vary in weight and shape and will impact pressure levels. It's not just a matter of increasing the powder to make something +P. Check the manuals.

"Syria is a dangerous neglect by the United States," cautioned Vali Nasr during his talk at the Club on May 1. "It's a country that will impact the entire region." Nasr said that the United States has other options in Syria besides a military presence. For example, the United States can also arm the opposition and take the lead in addressing the growing humanitarian crisis in and around Syria.
Syria's ongoing conflict began more than two years ago in March 2011, and according to the UN, it has now claimed more than 70,000 lives, internally displaced 4.25 million people, and sent 1.3 million people into neighboring countries as refugees. The UNHCR — the UN's refugee agency — notes that the Middle East and North Africa already face a slew of destabilizing circumstances, including civil conflicts and natural disasters. The escalating violence in Syria has added to the strain in the region.
In a statement to the UN Security Council in April, Valerie Amos, under-secretary general for humanitarian affairs at the UN, expressed concern for Syria's neighbors, particularly Lebanon, Jordan and Turkey. Earlier in March, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, António Guterres, noted that Lebanon saw a 10 percent increase in its population due to refugee influx from Syria, which is putting a strain on Lebanon's resources. He also said that the crisis in Syria is a "threat to international peace and security."
"I think it would be terrific if the U.S. made an explicit push for China, Russia, Iran and the U.S. to jointly focus on the suffering of the Syrian people," said Fred Lawson, a professor of government at Mills College and author of Global Security Watch – Syria. However, he cautioned that Syria is currently in a civil war and added, "What we learned in Somalia was that it's impossible to carry out a humanitarian mission while there is a civil war going on."
The UN and a host of NGOs have been consistently appealing for more funding to direct toward Syria. In a report published in April, Oxfam called out the international community, saying, "Today, the aid effort is shamefully inadequate." The UN's appeal of $1.5 billion has only been met halfway and UNHCR has had to revise its 2012 budget to accommodate the growing need in Syria. In 2012, it spent 18.75 percent of its entire MENA (Middle East North Africa) budget on Syria. The agency anticipates revising its 2013 budget, too.
This is precisely where Nasr thinks the U.S. can contribute. "Everyone's operating on the assumption that we don't care," Nasr said. But he argues that the U.S. can lead a global initiative to address the humanitarian crisis in Syria. And as many agencies including the UN argue, that leadership is not only about donations and funding. Much of the humanitarian work is hampered by lack of authorization to enter Syria's government-controlled territories, the inability to provide cross-border assistance, and a precarious security situation faced by humanitarian aid workers. On this front, diplomatic negotiations with the Assad government and rebel factions are needed.
Lawson agrees, adding, "It's starting to look like humanitarian aid is not enough." He suggested that any diplomatic efforts should be focused on giving Assad's regime and its supporters an absolute guarantee of their safety; otherwise there is nothing to negotiate.
The United States' reluctance on Syria might also stem from multiple calculations, which include following Turkey's lead and considering the fragmentation within the opposition, added Lawson. Overturning the Assad regime would leave a leadership vacuum within Syria, which might be filled by anti-American parties. Additionally, the lack of organization within the opposition suggests that any one of those factions taking charge in Syria may not ultimately lead to a stabilized Syria.
"No one wants that," Lawson said, citing interests from the U.S., Israel, Jordan, Turkey and Iran. "Washington is paralyzed." The United States must take into its calculus additional factors, such as recent allegations of chemical weapons use in Syria, Israeli airstrikes near Damascus and an Internet blackout in Syria.
The political calculation aside, humanitarian aid is still necessary, and Lawson suggests that the United States form an opinion about how to proceed: "I think the United States should first decide whether it will work through the UN or directly." Direct aid requires forming an infrastructure of delivery, which takes time, Lawson added. However, Lawson cautioned that the "U.S. should not send food directly with U.S. personnel or aircraft," but rather channel it through other aid entities such as the Arab Red Crescent. Doing so keeps aid workers politically neutral and out of harm's way, especially from anti-American factions.
In testimony to the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, Human Rights Watch's Tom Malinowski addressed the double-edged sword of labeled aid. While explicit labels allow people on the ground to see where support is coming from — and support carries more weight if coming from the United States — labeling can lead to politicization. Malinowski stressed that aid must be disbursed impartially and for that, "it is better to rely on organizations that have the experience and logistical capacity on both sides of the border and that will ensure that aid is not politicized." However, hesitancy to send aid through third-party organizations exists because the United States doesn't come out as a prominent actor in relief efforts.
Ultimately, it may be a combination of factors — increased non-politicized aid, diplomatic unity on the Security Council, increased efforts at negotiations, strengthening and increasing cohesion among the opposition, and a political will to undertake leadership on these fronts — that might result in movement on Syria. Yet with few answers to resolving the long-term factors that will bring stability to Syria, and continued need for more humanitarian aid, it is difficult to determine how Washington will hedge its bets. Nonetheless, the announcement on Tuesday by Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov to host an international conference on Syria and push the Assad government and the Syrian opposition to attend is a step in intensifying the diplomatic efforts to bring some resolution to this conflict.

Green Bay Falls to Valparaiso in Regular Season Finale
By: Ryan Hartwig (@RyanHartwig)
VALPARAISO, Ind. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - The Green Bay volleyball team (15-13, 6-8 Horizon League) wrapped up its 2012 regular season on Saturday night, falling 3-0 (25-16, 25-15, 25-23) to Valparaiso (19-11, 9-4 HL) at the Athletics-Recreation Center. The Phoenix will be the No. 5 seed in next weekend's Horizon League tournament, and will face fourth-seeded Loyola next Friday in Cleveland, Ohio.
"We lost our composure early tonight and had to fight hard to get it back," Green Bay head coach Debbie Kirch said. "It's going to be important for us to have a short memory because we start a new season next week."
One night after breaking the school record for digs in a career, Phoenix senior Brittany Groth (Oak Creek, Wis.) eclipsed the school's single-season digs record on Saturday, tallying 22 to push her season total to 665. The number breaks Groth's previous record of 659, which she set as a junior last season.
The Crusaders out-hit the Phoenix .254 to .106 in the contest, finishing with 46 kills to Green Bay's 30. Valpo's Mary Dent led all players with 13 kills, while Ellen Vanden Berg had 11. Junior Lyndsay Zabkowicz (Oak Creek, Wis.) had a solid match for Green Bay, posting a team-best 11 kills while hitting .280.
After suffering a pair of uneven losses in sets one and two, the Phoenix battled hard in the third, erasing a five-point deficit (15-10) to knot things up at 17-17. Senior Carmen Leitermann (Schofield, Wis.) notched a kill to give Green Bay an 18-17 lead, but a 4-0 run put the Crusaders back in front 21-18. The Phoenix rallied again to tie the score at 22-22, but Valpo answered with three of the next four points to secure the 3-0 sweep.
Green Bay and Loyola will square off in Horizon League quarterfinal action at 4 p.m. CT on Friday at Woodling Gymnasium.

text: We went toe to toe against the top teams and the league and went all Rocky Balboa out there - ugly, flawed, determined, and persistent. We're one Lillard heroic shot from a three game win streak and a back blurb on ESPN in the fantasy basketball section for all the press we get. Among many things that stand out from the Frank era is that people believe. We don't get utterly routed. A huge part of that is Josh but the whole team stays focused through the many goofs during a game. As much as Jennings goes And1 touring in the fourth, between him and Josh, we have that guy who will make something happen with the ball in his hands... and not dribble off his foot like Gordon.

In the Shade: SPF Makeup for Every Skin Tone
Who can forget Britney Spears' pink-feathered pigtails? "She went off to wardrobe and came back with those braids," says Nigel Dick, who directed Spears in ...Baby One More Time , her 1998 video debut. "I don't know a lot about hair—I have none myself," he quips. "But I thought the style looked cool so we went with it." Though he faced scrutiny from his peers for taking on a little-known Mouseketeer, Dick wasn't dissuaded. "I enjoy working with new artists and it was an extraordinary three-minute pop song," he says about Spears' now-famous first single. "I met Britney before shooting and she said, `You know, I'd really like to do something in a school where there's lots of dancing and cute boys.' So that's what we did."
Dick, who originally suggested jeans and T-shirts for the video, says the controversial schoolgirl uniforms were Spears' idea. The memorable dance sequence where Spears bares her midriff was shot at Venice High School because of its wide hallway. "We'd looked at a number of other schools, and in many cases the corridor was very narrow, winding, or dark," says Dick.
Spears has since gone from high school hallways to dance club stages, where she's now a femme fatale. But her bubblegum-pop persona, forever frozen in ...Baby One More Time, is still a fan favorite. "It's interesting, the reverence by which people refer to the video," says Dick. "I don't feel it's mine anymore. It's as if it's become—dare I be so pretentious—part of the world, and I enjoy that quality. It's rather nice."

Germany's Deutsche Telekom is being charged with engaging in a program in which hundreds of phone calls by customers were monitored. Senior executives ordered staff to check the phone calls because Klaus Zumwinkel wanted to plug an information leak after he was charged with having channeled millions of eruos in unpaid taxes to a bank in another country. The company, which is partially owned by the German government, denied using bugging devices but admitted that it had tracked calls. The evidence of this action apparently was leaked to the press by a data company based in Berlin which was contracted to conduct the surveillance because Telekom manatgers were concerned about leaks of sensitive information to business jounalists. Apparently, the company was upset that after doing its job, no one got around to paying it for the work.
We live in times in which George Orwell's famous story about Big Brother has moved from fiction to reality. Who knows who is listening in to conversations and who knows the reason for the surveillance. We must trust that Big Brother is only checking the bad guys, but in this case it turns out the bad guys were the good guys.

Discussion in 'Chevy Truck Talk & GM News' started by JTWard, Jul 7, 2013.
What is the difference between a Avalanche and a 1500 Silverado trucks ?
Lots from Ride The Avalanche sits on a Sub chassis The silverado on a truck, The Avalanche you can have a 5,1 bed or 8 foot.. There is a lot more What are you lookin to do?
Not really sure, but they tend to look the same from the frontal view. Doesn't Cadillac market one ?
Yes, it's the Escalade EXT.
Escalade, that's it. I see a lot of them seeping out of the ghetto with 26" wheels and all the chrome as it's possible to put on a vehicle. At the Chevy.com site you see that the Avalanche doesn't have a chassis like a C1500 does. But they say it can still hold any 4' x 8' materials, kinda hard to imagine from just one look at the bed. They cost more than a 1500 Silverado too ?
The rear seats fold down extending the bed space. I think of them as a tahoe's and a silverado's child. You have a nice SUV with the capabilities of a truck.
Yes they can and more...
< and that's a 80in TV..
- - - Updated - - -
Don't forget the Girls....
Yes I see, I never saw one with a bed cover on ! Very interesting ! They have a lot of plastic cladding on them. Is there a difference in ride ?
Go test drive them both and see what you like.. The Avalanche is a smoother ride But both ride good..
From everything I've read, the Avalanche is basically a Suburban with a bed. The payload and towing numbers are not as good as the Silverado as well. IIRC, the Avalanche has a coil spring rear suspension while the Silverado has leaf springs in the rear.

Logan • The safety who hits like a linebacker should become familiar again soon to Utah State fans.
He used to be a linebacker. He's Maurice Alexander.
The senior, who was a rangy linebacker and pass rusher during the 2011 season, is back with the Aggies after a year away from the program. And he's been making his presence felt with hard tackles all over the field.
McKade Brady's graduation left an open hole in the secondary, one the Aggies have tried to fill with Alexander, once an impact junior college transfer. He quickly has picked up where he left off, coach Matt Wells said, and he's going on a good learning curve at the position.
"I think from a run-oriented perspective and physicality perspective, [he's been] really good," Wells said. "I think he just needs to continue to learn the calls and the nuances of communication on the back end, which is very, very normal."
Alexander was dismissed from the program a year ago after a very different kind of hit. He punched a teammate in the eye, causing serious injury that required surgery. He ended up spending a year in limbo and pleading to a misdemeanor assault charge.
The time away from football showed him that he needed to mature.
"I made a stupid decision a real stupid decision," he said. "It hurt me. It was a hard process, but I did what I had to do to get back. I knew they would accept me back because we're family."
Alexander has been through the legal process, and he's keeping his academics in order so he can play this fall.
He's always been a playmaker. He racked up 45 tackles, including seven for a loss, during his first year at Utah State out of Arizona Western College. He also had three sacks. He didn't play safety in college, but he did sometimes play the position at Eureka High School in suburban St. Louis.
The Aggies will love having a 6-foot-2, 212-pound menace in the secondary if Alexander can be consistent at safety. He knows there's still some more skills to work on, and he's trying to prove he can be what Utah State coaches and fans always hoped he could be.
"I'm feeling real good about it right now," he said. "I trained really hard to play safety. It's what's best for the team."

Cockburn's form
Alexander Cockburn (writing in the Nation) has become the latest contrarian-de-jour, sallying forth with some rather novel arithmetic to show that human-caused global warming is nothing to be concerned about. This would be unworthy of comment in most cases, but Cockburn stands out as one of only a few left-wing contrarians, as opposed to the more usual right-wing variety. Casual readers may have thought this is a relatively recent obsession of his (3 articles and responses over the last month), however, Cockburn has significant form* and has a fairly long history of ill-informed commentary on the subject of global warming.
There may be more elsewhere, but while he was writing for New York Press he had at least two articles on the subject: Global Warming: The Great Delusion (March 15, 2001) and Return to Global Warming (June 21, 2001). After both articles, I wrote letters to the editor (here and here) gently pointing out the misconceptions and incorrect statements (though obviously to little avail). To whit, the deliberate confusion of weather and climate, guilt by association (he linked climate modelling to biological warfare research!), the complete mis-understanding of the Harries et al (2001) paper showing satellite evidence for the increased trapping of long wave radiation by greenhouse gases etc.
Rather than simply rehashing the obvious mistakes in his current 'science', it's worth taking a step back and looking at all of the pieces together. The first thing one notices is that Cockburn always tries to shy away from giving the impression he came up with any of his anti-global warming theories himself. In each case, there is a trusted 'advisor' or acquaintance who is available to inform Cockburn of the latest foolishness. In 2001 it was Pierre Sprey "a man knowledgeable about the often disastrous interface between environmental prediction and computer models" and now it is Dr. Martin Hertzberg "a meteorologist for three years in the U.S. Navy". Neither of whom appear to have any peer reviewed work in the field.
In common with the right-wing contrarians, Cockburn's opinions are not formed from a dispassionate look at the evidence, but come from a post hoc reasoning given his dislike of the purported implications. This line from the Mar 2001 piece discussing the fact that sulphate aerosols have a cooling effect on climate, is a great example:
'You really want to live by a model that installs the coal industry as the savior of "global warming"?'
That is, since any model that shows that aerosols have a cooling impact (which is all of them) apparently encourages the coal industry to pollute, the model physics must be flawed. The same theme is apparent in the more recent articles. Because carbon offsetting and credits have not worked as well as expected (see this excellent Financial Times report), it is clearly the scientists who raised the issue who are at fault. Bad consequences clearly imply bad science.
This backward logic is clear from reading his articles. At first it was the models that were uncertain, the water vapour that was ignored, and it was the 'speculative' nature of the IPCC that he found unconvincing. Then it was the uncertainty associated with aerosols that nailed it for him. Now it is that the CO2 increase itself that is self-evidently bogus. He drifts from one pseudo-factoid to another, hoping to land upon the one thing that will mean he doesn't need to deal seriously with the issue.

Nice avatar BillupsDon'tLie!
It's amazing how closely Chauncey's head resembles the Larry O'Brien trophy.
I really think the bonehead move would be to Draft Stafford. To give 40 million in guarantees to an unproven player is stupid. I think that Sanchez is the better prospect anyways. Take Curry with #1 and then trade up to get Sanchez if he's not gone by #10 Curry will sign with much lower guarantees anyways. I am also predicting that Stafford = Leach and Sanchez = Brady. You'll see a huge difference in their careers.......
The way I see it, we are gonna be no better than 4-12 anyway. so go for Stafford and draft D NEXT year..Or take Curry and get Bradford or mcCoy nxt year. Of the three, I like Bradford.
Chauncey is starting to get into your kitchen.
QBs are about 50/50 hit miss with the first pick in the draft. But Oline is 90/10. Mayhew has been very quite about our pick. I like it. The guy will be already signed before camp.
After reading this article, I have to say I like this kid. Again, I don't know how a QB can survive with the Lions without help, but the kid sounds like a winner. Team first. So I have my concerns, but if they take him, and I think they will, I'm OK with it. That being said, I think they remain losers until Ford sells the organization. Stafford savoring the moment - NFL - Yahoo! Sports
Sanchez goes through his reads much quicker and methodical. Throws a better ball. SC offense is an NFL type set. Has a 65% completion rate vs 57% for the other guy.
Yeah...but you can't take Sanchez #1 when there is better talent available at other positions.
President Tom Lewand gives rare glimpse into Lions' draft preparation - FOX 2 Detroit video - Detroit Lions: News, Blogs, Photos, Audio, Schedule & Stats - MLive.com This is a pretty good look at the Lions war room.
According to the radio reports on 97.1 The Ticket; they have already negotiated a contract with Curry and now have told Stafford that it is as high as they will go; take it or leave it. Today was supposed to be the deadline for his answer but I haven't had a chance to turn on the radio.
Maybe Stafford is helping us make the right decision.
Greg Landry on The Huge Show: Timing not right for Lions to draft quarterback Matthew Stafford - Detroit Lions: News, Blogs, Photos, Audio, Schedule & Stats - MLive.com Here Greg Landry says draft a Dee and organize the "O" before drafting a QB.
Maybe Landry's afraid that Stafford will come in and up-end him as the Lions last semi-decent QB lol
Landry was my all time favorite for many years. I used to make sure all my jerseys had #11 on them. Good number because later Zeke wore it.
Landry went on to become an Offensive Coordinator at Division 1A. He has an excellent mindset to make this determination. I like his thinking.
Actually...I've stated that we take Curry first...Then move up to get Sanchez if he's available after #9...
Stafford is not even the consensus choice for a QB in a weak draft. I'd say go ahead if this guy had at least that going for him. Curry is the top linebacker choice easily, and has more of a percentage of people behind him for being drafted first, than the others.
LANDRY; MY third fave lion ever! listen to him!

Dart Pro 1 heads arrived.
Some of you had ask for information the quality of the Pro 1's I bought off of ebay from Yoders. Everything looks very good and I must say it is the best deal I have found in a while. The only thing that is an issue is that there is some casing flash that will have to be ground off for pushrod clearance. Any Dart heads will be this way I am sure.
Alright. One step closer to getting the S-10 back on the road.
Chris do mind me asking what the total cost was with shipping for those heads?
It was $990 to my door step. He charges quiet a bit for shipping because he insures them for the actual value and packs them in foam so there is little chance they get hurt.
I got the bottom end back together today, so yes it is getting closer. Just need to get gaskets and stuff on the way now.
sounds like it could be running in a week.
Now all you have to do is have a good valve job done, CC check and resurface the heads. Check the valve springs, polish the nicks off the valve stems, clean the heads and reassemble them.
Been there, done that!
The guy who does the heads assembles them and does the valve job in his machine shop. Why on earth would I have them surfaced? Are you saying that they are not flat when you get them from Dart? Why would the valve stems have nicks?
It's the peace of mind that comes with actually knowing it was done right. Don't forget why the engine had to come apart after only 500 miles.
If I am missing something..........this is my first set of aftermarket heads. You all make it sound like they are junk out of the box.
I've seen some pretty out of wack stuff that was brand new. I think he meant just to make sure everything was on the up and up, thats all.
I dont think anyones trying to bust your happiness, but rather just have you check everything carefully. You know what they say about checking others work.
I think it sounds like a heck of a deal to me and Id be interested in seeing the Ebay listing they were on.
Do they look like pretty thick decks on em? Can you order them with the size springs you need?
Let me know some info on em. Tnx and good luck with em. HG
I was built with the body of a God! To bad it was buddah.

You can get whatever springs you want, but the heads set up with roller springs are a bit more expensive. The heads I got are #110 on the seat. The guy I got them from recommends them for .525 lift, but he said that is just to be on the safe side and they will handle .550 without issues.
Like I said, I will check them over before installing them.
Here is a link to the heads he is selling, but he has raised the price $25 since I ordered mine.
I just got an email back from another guy who bought the heads from Yoder. He said he had no problems and they made 550HP on a 390ish cid small block and ran them this whole season on a drag car without issue.

Tom, chris-
I think clarification is needed here. I bought my iron eagles the same way chris did and just bolted them right on. I found the machine work to be way above and beyond what I expected. Here's the difference. Tom, the problems you've had are probably people who buy the "fully assembled" heads from dart or other warehouses, am I wrong? The difference is, the people who chris and I bought our heads from independent machine shops (much like yours, tom) who sell these heads on ebay for a reduced rate, because they buy pallets of bare casting heads and then do all the machine work in-house. The 200cc runner, fully assembled angle plug, 2.05 heads like I got are something like just shy of 1000 dollars in summit. I got them for 700. (maybe its 900 in summit, dunno).
They guy who did my heads put in manley valves, threw in a set of com cams guide plates and actually (get this) UNSHROWDED MY EXHAUST VALVES!!!! Can you believe it?!
Some of these guys really know what it means to be cool with your customers and go the extra step for a quality product. As soon as I saw the work I was so confident I just tossed them right on the motor, and I was right, everything was in order.
This is from an earlier post of mine:
The worst aftermarket heads i have seen were a set af Canfield sbc heads. The chambers were 3ccs oversize, the heads were warped .013", and the valves seated so badly light shined into the chamber was visible in the ports. Shortly after those heads I worked on a pair of bbc race heads. These heads were each warped over .014". I have also fixed Dart, AFR, World Products, Brodix, and Ford Motorsports heads. The defects i found were: guides too tight, valve guides not concentric to the seats, valve seats too wide, too narrow, and damaged by chipped cutter blades, seats contacting the valve face too far off the inside or outside, broken keepers, lubricant not present on valve stems, and more. My point is that ALL of these problems somehow got past quality control checks and made it into consumer hands.
The thing is this: Any of these heads would probably made decent power in spite of the problems because of the fact they are horsepower producing heads. A rough idle caused by leaky valve wouldn't be that noticable with a radical cam. But eventually a valve would stick or eventually burn or a head gasket would leak. I have seen each of these happen on heads that were bolted on. One head in particular was a bbc Dart head. The source where the head was bought from was advised that the valve seats didn't look right. The buyer was told to use them anyway. After little use on the drag strip, a valve head broke off from flexing as it tried to seat on an off-center seat. All I am saying is that if you spend $1500-$2000 or more on a set of heads, it would be wise to have them checked out by a good machinist. We do that for our
customers (while they watch) and they are more than happy to see that we found a problem before it cost them a lot more money in the long run.
After your previous experience, I'm sure you would rather check things our first............
I think you make a good point. The heads I have were deburred around chambers and the valves appear to be unshrouded. I think that it is actually where the cutter for the big valves(2.08) got against the chamber, but it is hard for me to tell. The exhaust valves appear the same way.
Tom, you also make a good point. Could I check the valve sets and angles using lapping compound? Seems like it should show any valves that are not seating properly. Gasoline in the chamber always shows if one is leaking as well. I can check the deck easy enough with a straight edge I figure. About the guides being too tight, I have heard of this before. Might sound dumb, but is it just a matter of feel to see if they are too tight?
Last edited by TurboS10; 12-23-2004 at 08:10 AM.
I can see how the heads have a good chance of being messed up when some dufus in the dart factory just throws them together. But if they're coming from a machine shop, I think its a different story. They know that its not dart's butt on the line, its theirs. I am absolutely certain that my machine shop checked and did the job right.

Hi all....this is my first post here so please be gentle
After 30 years in international sales and marketing I am looking to move out of corporate life into something less 9 to 5 (if only it was just 9 to 5!).
Back in the mists of time I did a Modern Languages degree (French & German) and looked into teaching English about 25 years ago but decided the time wasn't right.
I am now looking into this again as a second career and have just started researching courses, job prospects etc.
I am only interested in teaching in the UK....I have done my share of travel over the years and others are quite welome to it.
So these are my questions.....
What would the job prospects be for someone like me......mature in years....bags of business experience (does include some limited time delivering training to others) but with a basic qualification and no teaching experience?
What sort of qualification should I go for? I can use annual leave to attend a course and am not looking to do it on the cheap.
All comments and suggestions greatly appreciated.

Republican Obstructionists
Rand Paul would try and take your Goberment job away completely.
... I just shake my head when Government Employees complain about their work situation... Those poor, poor government workers....
He wants larger cuts than Sequestration has given us
There are very few civilian Jobs in this country that are not subsidized by the Federal dollar. I know mine is.
Obstructionist Republicans is a pretty catchy phrase and while it is doubtful it will win Obama a Super Majority for his last two years... it could, and many of the Republican's are not even smart enough to see it. It will not be long and Sequestration will start hitting people in their pockets... and the Republican's are going to be the ones to get the blame.
QuoteThere are very few civilian Jobs in this country that are not subsidized by the Federal dollar. I know mine is.but it shouldn't be. if it is, that's another place i'd cut. that said, even if 1/4 of UPS contract is from the government, that's not quite the same as being a government employee, is it? at this point, there are a lot of us who are willing to take the hit in the pocketbook and politically to try to get things under control. it's now or never and fortunately, a lot of people seem to be waking up to that. obstruct away!!

I am happy to take part, Carmen. I think this is an extremely valuable study and if all it takes is a skin scraping from my dogs, well worth the effort! Is this a local study? Either way, Since I am local to you and know tons of dogs here, I could probably get a good amount of people to offer skin scrapings of their dogs.
The concept is fascinating, especially considering what is happening to bees and beehives... I am very, very interested and would like to stay in the loop on this topic/study.
*new* skin problems
this is the thread that inspired this research http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum...ffles-vet.html
referencing where I left off
"met again with my friends yesterday , both in the medical fields - and another with a chemistry background -- "

quoting reply "I can't tell on my phone, so I think I am quoting something you were quoting, my phone messes up things a lot, but.... Just to clarify and hipefully help, DepoMedrol is CHEAP, and is the Duolcillan LA. It's just penicillin. Like should be 2 pennies a CC.
Just don't want your friend to get ripped off. I am glad it's working. I must say though. That I find it hilarious that with all the new fangled high end medicine, referrals, allergy tests, yadda yadda, the thing that helping is good old steroids and penicillin. "
Well gsdsar , I questioned them about the depromedrol which is not an antibiotic penicillin but a corticosteroid. Duplocillin is a long lasting penicillin.
Expensive . yes , here it is , where these drugs are controlled ."
One of my friends is a DR. , prof of Medicine , and now Senior Research scientist -- who has available to him some very very bright minds in his lab , one who is a 26 year old PHD .
We have been talking on and off about some difficult new problems which seem to be appearing , like bad weather ! .
Just so happens that his own dog , at 7 years of age, after perfect health , came up with this problem , the severe itchiness . Appears that there is a sudden surge in the area .
Appears that there is a sudden surge in South Carolina , Tennessee , where this fox terriers breeder is from. All breeds, all ages, all manner of diets being followed .
So thinking out of the mainstream, out of the box an alternative path of investigation is under way.
We , and our animals are not just single living entities . We are entire living biosomes of bacteria and a host of microscopic beings which maintain our health and need themselves to be kept in some form of balance.
We have been creating super bugs by aggressive and inappropriate use of anti biotics . I would rather have them well regulated , used minimally , only when absolutely necessary. That is part of the problem.
Among the microscopic beings are mites, which clean up dead cellular debris . Populations are in check . When there is a disturbance you have problems with mange . Restore the immune and balance has equilibrium again.
One possibility under consideration was that there is something which is disturbing the terrain , that has upset the types of mites , allowing one to prosper , another to decline -- which is source of problem.
Has there been something in the environment lately which has knocked out this balance . With that in mind the PHD research assistant took skin scrapings and sent them to her father who had already been working on something along these lines. Happens to be that he is the Chief Veterinary in Norway .
The study asks are the mites different that the mites on a healthy dog's skin.
Can healthy populations be recovered with transplants from the mite population of healthy dogs.
It was a pretty deep discussion.
If this is part of the problem then we have to examine everything which attempts to "clean" the dog which includes topical insecticides . The solution is worse than the problem?
Mites are arthropods and so are the mites that have been decimating bees and beehives . Maybe they are sensitive to the same environmental problem.
If someone wants to partake in the study they can contact me . Their vet's can take skin scrapings and have them sent.
anyway all thoughts invited

For use with RCBS Gold Medal Match series dies. Due to variability in neck brass thickness, RCBS standard dies size the neck below your desired diameter and then pull an expander ball through to get the proper bullet tension. The Gold Medal sizing dies (Full Length and Neck) features a self-centering, changeable neck bushing that allows you to precisely set the amount of tension on the bullet. This reduces work hardening of the case neck brass, prolonging case life and increasing accuracy. Neck bushings are available in .001" increments from .189" to .365".RCBS suggests that you have neck bushings one to two sizes above and below your target diameter.

How long will global warming last?
Even the present-day net flux tends to underestimate the real lifetime of global warming. The atmosphere contains about 160 Gt more carbon than it did then. If we divide this number by the CO2 invasion flux into the ocean of 2 Gt C/year, we get an apparent uptake time scale of 80 years. This result is shorter than model air/water equilibration time scales by a factor of four or so. I believe the problem is with the simple calculation. The CO2 concentration of the atmosphere is going up continuously, and so it invades the ocean as it equilibrates with warm surface waters. If atmospheric CO2 were not going up, the warm surface waters would saturate in a year or two, the overall ocean invasion rate would decrease, and the lifetime estimates by this method would increase. Different parts of the ocean equilibrate with the atmosphere on different time scales, ranging from a year for the tropical surface ocean to a millennium for the deep sea. Overall, model experiments show a CO2 equilibration time of a few centuries [5, 6, 11, 12]. The other problem with both of these conceptions is that they implicitly assure us that the CO2 concentration is going back to its initial concentration, which it will not.
Another source of short-lifetime bias in the community probably comes from a calculation used to compare the greenhouse consequences of different gases, called the Global Warming Potential (GWP) [13]. Some trace gases such as methane have a stronger impact on the heat balance of the earth, per molecule, than CO2 does. However, to really compare them fairly one might want to factor in the fact that methane only lives about 10 years before it goes away (actually, it is oxidized to CO2, another greenhouse gas, but it is common to ignore that in GWP calculatons). Global warming potentials are calculated by integrating the radiative energy impact of a molecule of gas over its atmospheric lifetime. However, if the full lifetime of CO2 were considered, including that long tail, then methane would be by that calculation unimportant. On human time scales, methane is certainly an important greenhouse gas, and so what's done is to arbitrarily limit the time horizon of the calculation to something like human timescales. Methane GWP is higher when considered on the 50-year time horizon than it is on the 500-year time horizon or it would be on a 500,000-year time horizon, if anyone bothered to do that calculation. Perhaps the adoption of time horizons for GWP calculations conditions scientists to believe that CO2 only persists for as long as this time horizon lasts. The table in the EPA document, for example, was associated with a discussion of global warming potentials.
It could also be that we-who-only-live-to-be-77.2-years-old don't want to worry about climate impacts from fossil fuel CO2 release 100,000 or even 1,000 years from now. That would be a perfectly rational position, and I have no argument with it. Climate change negotiations are grounded in IPCC projections and scenarios to the year 2100, a far cry from the year 100,000, but even 2100 seems almost unimaginably remote given the pace of social and technological change in the world today. On the other hand, nuclear waste lasts for millions of years for some isotopes such as iodine 129. The public seems to find this information relevant, so the true longevity of anthropogenic climate change might be considered by some to be relevant to here-and-now decisions as well. At any rate, the facts as reported ought to be accurate, rather than judging in advance that no one cares about climate impacts that last thousands of years and more into the future.

New Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid now has a quarterback. The Chiefs acquired former 49ers starter Alex Smith, according to Fox Sports' Jay Glazer.
While the deal cannot be officially announced March 12, ESPN.com's Adam Schefter reported on Twitter that the "Chiefs traded second-round pick, the second pick in the second round, to SF. Niners also got another conditional mid-round pick in 2014."
Smith, who directed the 49ers to the NFC Championship game in 2010 and finished third in QB rating last season, lost his job to rising star Colin Kaepernick midway through last season.
Not only is Smith's time in the Bay Area over, so is the Matt Cassel era in Kansas City. The Chiefs are expected to release the veteran QB, who went 1-7 in eight starts last season and finished with a 66.7 QB rating. Kansas City owns the No.1 pick in the upcoming NFL Draft, but this year's class comes is void of franchise passers.
Fantasy Analysis:
While Smith turned in solid work on the field for the 49ers over the last two seasons, he never turned into a fantasy hero. During his eight-year career, Smith has never thrown for more than 18 touchdowns or 3,100 yards in a season. There is a reasonable chance his numbers rise playing in Reid's pass-happy system, though fantasy owners initially should consider Smith no more than a QB2 and a low-end one at that.
The biggest beneficiaries of this move, the Chiefs skilled players. Rather than endure another season with Cassel or play with a rookie passer, Jamaal Charles, Dexter McCluster and Jon Baldwin now will have a steady veteran under center. Should free agent Dwayne Bowe stick in Kansas City, he remains a solid WR2 next season.
Now, about the compensation...wow, that is hefty price, especially for a player who nobody views as a long-term solution. However, Smith is by far the top QB option available this off-season and the Chiefs are wise not to invest in a rookie signal caller with the overall No. 1 pick. Certainly a coup for the 49ers, who wisely moved Smith for both salary cap and locker room reasons.
Cassel is no prize and certainly not worth the $7.3 million is set to earn next season, which is why he is an obvious waiver option, However, he now becomes arguably the top available quarterback (depending on Matt Flynn's situation). Teams like Arizona and Cleveland could be interested, along with those seeking a viable backup option.

Arsenal fans are basking in the afterglow of Tuesday night's stunning comeback at Reading - but was it the Club's finest ever?
The Gunners had never recovered from a four-goal deficit to win a game but that changed at the Madejski Stadium thanks largely to Theo Walcott's hat-trick and Marouane Chamakh's brace.
So how does Tuesday's Capital One Cup tie rank alongside other famous Arsenal comebacks? Take a look at the six featured below and visit www.arsenal.com/studio to tell us your favourite.
Premier League
Emirates Stadium
February 26, 2012
A derby day to remember. Arsenal were in the mire after 40 minutes of this north London encounter - two goals down and in danger of falling 13 points behind Tottenham in the race for a top-four place. But they put the disappointment of back-to-back defeats in the FA Cup and Champions League behind them to launch a stirring recovery and turn the derby on its head. Bacary Sagna's powerful header and Robin van Persie's superb curler levelled the scores before half-time and Arsenal were rampant after the break. The outstanding Tomas Rosicky poked them ahead and Theo Walcott, after struggling in the first half, came alive to net twice and send the Emirates into raptures.
Premier League
Reebok Stadium
March 29, 2008
Arsenal were in all sorts of trouble at half-time at the Reebok Stadium thanks to two Bolton goals and a red card for midfielder Abou Diaby, but the 10 men regrouped and came on strong in the second half. William Gallas pulled a goal back after 62 minutes from close range and Arsenal were level six minutes later when Robin van Persie hammered home a spot-kick. Fatigue crept in and Bolton looked like holding on, but the 10 men snatched all three points in the final minute when Cesc Fabregas' shot was deflected in off Jlloyd Samuel. It was Arsenal first league win at the Reebok since 2002, and came on the back of a five-game winless streak.
FA Cup semi-final
March 27, 1971
The title run-in was tense and nerves were frayed when Liverpool took an extra-time lead at Wembley. But Arsenal were never so close to throwing away their chance of a first Double as they were in the FA Cup semi-final at Hillsborough on March 27, 1971. Stoke City looked to have the Gunners' number when they led 2-0 in Sheffield. Then came the turning point as Jimmy Greenhoff fluffed a golden chance to put his side three ahead before half time. Arsenal were down but, thanks to Greenhoff, they weren't quite out. Peter Storey hammered in from 20 yards to halve the deficit and then saved Arsenal in stoppage time from the penalty spot after John Mahoney's handball. Storey had the unenviable task of beating England legend Gordon Banks from 12 yards to keep Arsenal's Double dream alive but he sent him the wrong way, Arsenal salvaged a draw and went on to win the replay. The rest, as they say, is history.
ARSENAL 3-0 ANDERLECHT (4-3 agg)
Fairs Cup final
April 28, 1970
After 17 years without a trophy, the glory days returned to Highbury with a dramatic victory in the 1970 Fairs Cup Final. Bertie Mee's side looked down and out after slumping to a three-goal deficit in the first leg in Belgium, but a late header from Ray Kennedy gave them hope. Frank McLintock's post-match rallying call lifted spirits and they were an irresistible force in the second leg six days later. Eddie Kelly's early goal was the perfect tonic and John Radford levelled it up on aggregate with a second-half header. Arsenal had the edge but Anderlecht hit the post before Jon Sammels made it 3-0 on the night and 4-3 on aggregate with a fierce low finish.
Division One
White Hart Lane
October 6, 1962
One of the very few occasions when Arsenal have managed to pull back a three-goal deficit was in another north London derby against Tottenham. In a Division One fixture in October 1962, the Gunners found themselves 3-0 down after 26 minutes at White Hart Lane. Step forward David Court. The Club's current assistant head of youth development was only 18 - and had played just twice for Arsenal - but he struck twice to help the visitors claw it back to 3-2. Spurs reestablished some control and extended their lead to 4-2 but Arsenal netted twice to make it 4-4 at full-time.
FA Cup third round
Emirates Stadium
January 9, 2012
OK, so this isn't a 'comeback' in the team sense. But it warrants a mention because Thierry Henry's return to the Club captivated Arsenal fans all over the world - and provided a very special memory for those at Emirates Stadium on January 9, 2012. Henry had left Arsenal in the summer of 2007 after a record 226 goals for Arsène Wenger's side. Yet here he was, nearly five years later, pulling on the red-and-white shirt for an FA Cup tie against Leeds United. The roar that greeted his arrival after 68 minutes was spine-tingling. Ten minutes later, Henry rolled back the years with a trademark clinical finish from Alex Song's pass. It was the matchwinner, and a moment to savour.

I have an ESB gauntlet/armor kit from FettPride and have a few pieces that I am not sure what they are used for. The two pieces with two holes and the green plexiglass.
There are also two pieces missing from my gauntlet kit and I was wondering where I might could find them.
Gauntlet Piece 1
Gauntlet Piece 2
Also, if anyone has any good ESB gauntlet reference pics I am having a hard time finding them.
