Barry has valid points that will serve you well, do one rust repair at a time, for exactly the reasons Barry gave you. Start with the smallest one first, make your repair panel fit properly and weld it in using a stitch method, allow each weld to cool before attempting another one and stagger your welds (weld one spot and than the next one as far away from the first one as possible). This way you will minimize the warping of the metal you are welding. All welds must be closed, by this I mean when you are done welding there shouldn't be any gaps between welds, it should look like one continuous weld. Grind your welds down with a disc, no coarser than 36 grit and 50 grit works also. Rough up the metal around your repair area with your grinding disc and apply your body filler. Block sand your body filler, starting with 40 grit, moving up to 80 grit and finishing with no less than 180 grit before priming. You can guide coat your body work so that when you block it for straightness, your low spots will show and you will be able to apply more filler to the low spots. When you prime, prime and area well beyond the repair area, apply a second coat within the first coat and a third within the second coat allowing each coat to flash before adding another one.
Now you can move onto your next larger rust area. The experience you gained by doing a small area will serve you well when attempting a larger area.
It doesn't really matter if you strip the car first or do rust repair first...I would do rust repair first, especially if you may need to move the car in and out, you don't want to expose the car to the elements considering it would be in bare metal. When you strip a car there are several ways to go about it, you can use 80 grit on a DA (dual action orbital) set on the rotating only mode. If this is the way you plan on going, keep your paper fresh and sharp and keep the orbital moving at all time. If the paper isn't sharp or you spend to much time in one spot with your orbital, it will create heat and it can warp panels. On Hoods, roof's and deck lids I prefer to use a chemical stripper. It's messy, it stinks and it may take several coats to remove the paint. After the first coat is applied let it sit the recommended time and remove what you can with a plastic putty knife and repeat until most of the paint and existing primer is removed. Clean your surface with lacquer thinner or similar product and remove the the left over paint or primer with your DA. I prefer a product I believe is made by Marhyde called "Air Craft Stripper". It's fast, it's efficient, it stinks and it's messy but it does work. When you are done stripping, don't be alarmed....you will find other areas on the car that require body work and or rust repair. Take your time, ask questions and make sure you don't take short cuts and you will have a much better finished product.
I hope this helps and if you need any more help, please ask.
Good luck.
Unfortunately I have a real job, so have nights and weekends only to work on my cars and my way is what is most efficient for my schedule and I can normally do 2 frame offs a year but in all fairness, only cars I do are C1,2 and 3"s Corvettes or GTO's, so I know them inside and out.
I have not done a rust repair in 20 or so years but my plan may work for you.
The last GTO, went out one night and cut off left quarter, fitted the new panel so it was ready to weld next night. The next night finished my welds and then the next night moved on to the next panel requiring the most work.
So to answer your question, fix the one quarter rust area and when done do the next, I think the most wasted times, UNLESS you are a body shop is working two-three bad panels at a time as you spend more time running back and forth and chasing tool from one side of car to another.
Corvettes, I do different, first nigh I get car disassembled, so next nigh I can remove body and depending on model I know that will take 3-4 hours.
Hope this helps and not saying my way is best way but my way.
|Rust repair first for sure, and then most likely strip the car to the metal. Hard to say without more info. Post some pics of the beast
Hi BarryK,
Sorry to be such a newbie, but thanks! Starting the project-what should I tackle first? Should I sand the whole car (grit#?) , should I do the rust repair first? Where would you start? I guess I am struggling with the order of operations, thanks for the help!!!!
Made a mistake on a statement in my second post, sorry but was in a hurry and once you post you only have a few minutes to correct, that is why writers like me should not be on here.
Clean bumper with soap and water (dawn original formula) OR waterborne wax and grease removerOnly.
These bumpers are very difficult to work on, well no different really than anything else but the hard part is repairing on that will not bubble.
If you need any help, send me a PM and I will send you my phone number, the PM will go to my email, so will see inside a few hours on most days.
|Wow! Thanks for the awesome tips. I knew it was not going to be fun, but geez. Thanks again, I will do my best and then post some pix.
|awesome, thanks. I have a word doc with all kinds of goodies pasted and this will be added. Great insight on an often missunderstood piece of hot rod history.
I like your videos, helps the guys a lot.
Strip bumper with a 180 DA.
Do the major repairs with the two part Duramix type products.
Clean with soap OR water or waterborne wax and grease remover.
Let set 24-48 hours (very important)
Spray coat of a "flexible epoxy", set set 30 min to 3-4 hours and then spray a couple more coats, let set 24-48 hours and sand with 180 dry, to smooth out.
Use any two part glazing filler at that point for the minor chips.
Sand and coat with 2K primer or epoxy.
Adhesion promoter will be the weakest link, don't use it.
It took me 60 minutes of class time, to go through the steps at the GTO nationals, so this is the short and sweet version.
on the one I just did recently
we had trouble with even a flexible poly glaze filler sticking to it. We stripped it back off in sections and covered nearly the whole thing with bumper repair. The flexible filler then stuck pretty well on top. In the few areas where the flexible filler was adhered to the endura rubber we sprayed SEM adhesion promotor, and not sure if it's solvent base. So as far as materials used we were in the dark. I gathered what info I could find on-line but it was nothing compared to the insight Barry is letting us in on right now. Wish I read this post BEFORE we fixed it, and it makes total sense about creating a barrier coat. I just didn't have a good feeling about ANY polyester flexible filler adhering to the endura rubber no matter how good it feathered out after adhesion promoter was applied. I just didn't know better at the time.
Anyhow, I did make a video on the repair and if anything it can be helpful in addressing fitment issues, as it seemed to be a headache making it fit right.
Also, it must be stripped.
Also NO polyester should ever come in contact with the bumper itself or it will bubble, only a matter of when.
Only thing that touches the bumper is a two part plastic repair for the bad spots, like Duramix 4036, 4040, 4030, Sem, 3M or other like products.
Any paint rep that says treat like any urethane bumper, most likely has no clue what one is.
All polyester is only to be used over epoxy as a barrier-coat.
Use no solvent borne cleaner or adhesion promoter.
|LOVE the 70 GTO nose... just had to say. Its my favorite year. I knew a kid in HS who had a 70 in awesome shape...he paid $1800 for the thing!!! may have been a Judge...I dont remember...ah, the good ol days...
1970 GTO Nose/Front End
I am getting ready to start prepping the body for paint, as you can see from my profile pic, the nose is in good shape, but weathered. Should I spray it with primer filler and see what it looks like? Or should I try to use filler to smooth it out first? Thank for your inputs!

i a fairly new to linux generally and BackTrack specifically so forgive my ignorance.
I am trying to learn Wireless Network testing and penetration. I want to test this on my own networks and have never done this before. I have done a lot of research and have some guides on hand to assist me.
I downloaded BT5, Gnome, x64. I created a Live CD. I booted this CD. Apparently the wireless device, TP-Link WN722NC v1.1 is detected.
If I type iwconfig i see l0, eth0, wlan0 and wlan1. wlan0 is the onboard device and wlan1 is the WN722NC. Even though wlan0 is showing it does not appear to work. If I disconnect the WN722NC no networks are visible even though the wlan0 is still active.
However if I enter the command airmon-ng I get the headings Interface, Chipset, Driver but nothing listed.
I ended up downloading the BT5R1 VM image and botting this machine up in VMware. One this installation I can run the airmon-ng commands and subsequently was able to complete a test compromise of bot WEP and WPA2 encryptions.
I then tried BT5R1 x64 as a clean install and was again unable to run the commands. I then downloaded BT5R1 x86 and was still unable to have proper access to the network card.
Why does the VM image work out of the box but the standalone live or installed system does not. Is there changes to the VM image? What is required to get my network card fully operation on the proper installation?

2-family brawl leads to felony arrests
MADISON COUNTY, Idaho - A fight between two families in the Hibbard area of Madison County led to felony arrests.
The Madison Sheriff's Office a dispute broke out at a house across the street from the Hibbard LDS church at 9 p.m. Wednesday.
Capt. Bruce Bowler said two families were living in the house and began to argue over which family would have to leave. A 29-year-old man and a baby were hurt during the skirmish.
Joe Henry Schilber, 40, allegedly ran from officers, who issued a public phone alert in their search for him. He tried to return to the house for a vehicle Thursday morning and was arrested on two felony charges of aggravated battery and multiple misdemeanors.
Two women were also involved in the fight.
Bowler said Katherine Reagan, 24, was arrested on a felony charge of aggravated battery after she bit another woman, who may also face charges for allegedly hitting Reagan with a baseball bat.

Woot Info Post
wooters.us eats babies!
Amphitrite's Delight [El Niño] - $10.00 + free shipping (standard) OR $5 to get it overnight (Friday) OR $5 international shipping
1 * Cream Woot Tee
This post is brought to you by Wooters.us, to help make sure pricing information on the product is available in the future. We are not run by nor affiliated with Woot.
Not really a guy's shirt. Pass.
It's Aqua-Marge!
That fish is watching that little bird. That little twig better hold up or else somebody's getting a meal.
And I thought I had a bad hair day..
Somebody reeeeeeally likes Marge Simpson.
According to Wikipedia:
"In ancient Greek mythology, Amphitrite was a sea-goddess and wife of Poseidon. Under the influence of the Olympian pantheon, she became merely the consort of Poseidon, and was further diminished by poets to a symbolic representation of the sea. In Roman mythology, the consort of Neptune, a comparatively minor figure, was Salacia, the goddess of saltwater."
Looks like Scuttle the seagull should try to pass a fork off as a comb to this bed-headed mermaid!
oh god, the bee!
I love the beeeeee!!
oh no! how are the fish going to breathe!?
Not an everyman's shirt, but I like it.
I agree, not really a guy's shirt...
And what's with the bird? I don't see that fitting in well with all the other underwater animals in the design.
It's like a hot Marge Simpson.

I mean "Dinglehopper".
Pretty. Wish I could wear the shirt color...
Put her and Carmen Miranda together, and you've got yourself a balanced meal.

They're being supported by her hair... she IS the Goddess of the Sea, after all.
The crab at the top is too happy and not crabby at all.
lovemedusa wrote:Pretty. Wish I could wear the shirt color...
Unless cream shirts are prone to spontaneous combustion, nothing's stopping you. :P
You know, when I saw the little preview on Woot.com, I thought it said "Amphetamine's Delight". Strangely, the sea life in her hair seemed just as appropriate.
Let them eat lake? Very nicely detailed, excellent blue.

Looks alot like a reference to "The Woman Who Outshone The Sun".
Those eyes.... It looks like "Amphitrite's Delight" wants some "Afternoon Delight" if ya know what I mean... eh? eh?
I accept the fact that there are sea creatures living in this woman's hair...but why the bird? It's not even a sea bird...it's just a regular old bird. Why?
Wow! This is stunningly amazing!
colinm09 wrote:I accept the fact that there are sea creatures living in this woman's hair...but why the bird? It's not even a sea bird...it's just a regular old bird. Why?
The bird? I was more thrown off by the dragonfly...I mean don't they hang out by freshwater??
I wish it wasn't on the cream tee.
Excellent Illustration!
My only critique would be the yellow color. Something more orange would have stood out more.
But well done, well done.
Amphitrite would make the perfect poster child for the, "wash, rinse and repeat" movement. Of course, she probably needs to repeat, repeat, repeat....
this will be my first woot shirt, i love it! what a hottie. i think the colors will look nice on cream. but yeah dont see this on a dude. thats ok my hubby has enough woot shirts! haha my turn
Looks like the mermaid's ready to cook up some cioppino for dinner...
...while talking about the birds and the bees (and the dragonflies)? Huh?
Did anyone else think, even for just a second, that was Marge Simpson?
lonelypond wrote:Let them eat lake? Very nicely detailed, excellent blue.
Nicely formed pun.
When I grow up I want a living aquarium in my hair.
Anyone else waiting for this moistened bint to lob a scimitar?
This is the lovely Marge Simpson rising from an ocean swim,
I'm weird...and bothered by the mix of freshwater and saltwater. And a bird? Otherwise...this is gorgeous.
Gorgeous! Hate cream shirts though. I am a Pisces and love water. The bee is the cherry on the top of this gorgeous, yet baffling, sea sundae. That does it...I am in for one!

The French-to-English translation of Fond de Jante is "bottom of the rim". Which is exactly where the self adhesive Velox rim strips go. It's the only type of rim strip we sell because it's the only type you should put on your wheels. Sure, many wheels these days come complete with their own branded rim strips. Often these are stringy plastic things that offend in every way. Velox on the other hand is perfect in every way. It's inexpensive, it lasts forever, and it's highly effective at shielding your tube from the backside of rim eyelets.

after the tape that came on my rims failed I upgraded to this and I have had no issues.
It's a rim strip
A little heavier than most plastic strips, in case you are an OCD weight weenie. I've got them on 2 sets of road bike wheels and a pair of MTB wheels. only been using them for about 6 months but no flats so far.

Terrestrial plants with air roots in tank..
I forget where I got this idea from, but in the past I've had Philodendron roots trail into my larger tanks.
Presently my little 4.5 gallon nano set up is on a table under a long light hood with a small group of assorted house plants. A Christmas cactus, a rather small unknown variety of Orchid, a rangy old Spider plant and a Amaryllis that goes outside in the summer. The Spider-plant has been putting out plantlets on stalks since we first got it, but I noticed it seems to aim the latest ones at the nano tank. So giving in to a hunch I placed one of the baby Spider-plants on the tank edge with it's air-roots in the water, and in 3 days time it started to put on new growth and the roots have doubled in size.
I suspect I'm not the only one who has done this, is there any chance that Spider-plants could be harmful to the fish in my tank? The fish seem to like the shelter of the roots, ( which now almost cover half the end-glass of the tank, it's grown exponentially in the past 2 weeks..) I've added another pair off the mother plant into the tank as well, they're growing nicely too.
The added bonus to this is the daitoms and blue green slime algae have withered with this latest addition, and the Javafern has really pumped out a lot of new leaves.
So yeah, it seems like it's a really good thing.. Anyone else done this?
No chance of harming your tank. Spider plant is non-toxic.
Do a search on "ripariums" here on the forum.
Terrestrial plants are great for nitrates.
Just beware, the spider plant will in time become far too big for a 4.5 gallon so be prepared to replace it or keep its roots severely cropped. I tried one briefly in my tank but it become too sprawling and I pulled it.
I use purple waffle and creeping fig in both my 5 gallon tanks and both are doing really well so far and sending out both new growth and a ton of roots. I'm also trying syngonium, peace lily, philodendron and pothos in another tank but its too soon to tell how they'll do, except the pothos which is already rooting well.
Usually, I've found terrestrial roots can adapt to underwater growth and will continue to grow, whereas as water-produced roots invariably dry up and fall off when planted in soil, requiring the plant to grow all new ones (at least in plants I've tried long enough to see - creeping fig, purple waffle, lucky bamboo, spider plant) An exception seems to be heartleaf philodendron, the terrestrial roots of which do rot when set right in water and have to regrow, but which transfer easily from water to soil without dying.
Using Land Plants in Tanks
Hello Gramps...
There are a number of land plants that will do very well emersed in an aquarium. I have various species of Aglaonema, Pothos, Nephthytis and Philodendron in my larger tanks. Kind of a biotope/terraphyte effect. Peace lily and varieties of Impatiens will work too.
You just have to remove the plant from the pot and rinse all the potting mixture from the roots. Emerse the roots, but keep the leaves above the water to take in CO2 from the air in the room.
The roots take in the nitrogens produced by the fish and the tank water stays pure. I just replace the tank water lost to evaporation.
Really reduces the water changes.
Very well, sounds like I'm on the right path so far. :)
Well years back, when I had my 30 gallon tank set up with a mercury vapor 125 watt bulb and an ancient old HOB filter from the 70's, ( had a noisy shaded pole 110 volt fan motor driving the impeller through a long shaft, seemed like it might have been a Metaframe filter.) that I had the Philodendron in it, it also had a stray water sprite that eventually took over the filter. Now that Water Sprite are impossible to get locally, because of the ban in CA, I've been looking for more semi immersed alternatives.
The Spider plantlets are still attached to the mother plant, I figured I will leave it this way until they get big enough to stabilize themselves. With the amount of wattage I have over this tank a little shade cant hurt.
Curious as to whether my Orchid will do well with it's air roots immersed
The HOB planted filter idea is what I'm thinking of expanding the spider-plant's habitat into. The Purple Waffle plant sounds like a better choice in the future, but since the mother plant is so productive with runners I'm going with it for now.
I would not try an orchid. It could work, but for this kind of setup you really want plants that are fast growing and adaptable to various conditions. An orchid is really neither of these things. Orchids won't even grow in soil - only bark chips or something I think, so I really doubt it would do well suddenly plopped in water. But I could be wrong. I've never had an orchid.
I find spider plants too aggressively growing to use in an HOB. If they get into the filter they completely engulf the cartridges with roots, meaning that you could not change the filter without tossing the plant. Spider plant roots are very aggressive and grab onto those things really, really well and grow right inside them. Eventually they clog the impeller and stop it completely.
In recap, I recommend spider plants only in open water where excessive root growth is easily removed or can grow without causing problems. although even here they grab a hold of anything they touch - gravel, driftwood, etc.
Philodendron has worked well for me, granted it doesn't grow very much. I've got this purple/green plant of the genus Tradescantia, fast growing and loves having wet roots. I'm trying a variegated Ivy I rescued for a dollar from Lowes, so far so good with wet feet. I've got some living basil from the grocery store, so far it is doing well with wet feet too. You might also look into "aquaponics" for plant ideas that work good associated with Fish tanks. A balance has to be struck for most plants, if too much of the roots are submerged they will rot.
I don't really see any balance - either the entire root system is underwater or the plant dries up and dies. I've never had any kind of plant fail to adapt in a riparium except for peppermint, which rooted okay but eventually died out for unknown reasons, but some just grow too slowly (draceanas) or too quickly (sweet potato) to be useful in my situation.
How do you grow sweet potato in the riparium? I have a Yam sprouting in the kitchen, but don't really want the whole thing sitting on my tank..
The sweet potato that you eat can be grown in an aquarium. The roots can take over the whole tank REALLY FAST. Just anchor the sweet potato about half in/half out of the water and it will start growing. Thrives in high light, OK in medium. Not a low light house plant.
I have had most of the common Aroids (Philodendron and related) plants thriving in emersed set ups, usually roots in the water, stems hanging over the side of the tank. Pothos and Syngonium have been the best. Spider plant was OK as long as it got enough light, but was never great.
The only Orchid that I can ID that I have seen thrive in anything like this is the Jewel Orchid, a terrestrial Orchid with dark brown leaves and pink stripes. This was more of a riparium set up, though, the roots were not loose in the tank. I have seen some other Orchids that someone imported from Hawaii growing emersed, actually on something like shelving that created a tiered water fall, but I do not know what species.
I have found hanging plants to be easier to work with. Upright plants tend to fall over if they are not supported.
I have pumped aquarium water through a window box filled with lava rock. This is open so the water flows right through, but supports the upright plants very well. Prayer plant and several species of Dracaena worked well in that. Now I have Heartleaf Philodendron in it.
Don't put the whole potato in the tank - it will rot. Just pull off a sprout at least 6-7 inches long, strip the bottom half of leaves and secure it so it can sprawl from the tank. I've only used ornamental varieties, which within a month grew two feet of stems and the same amount of roots - in other words, not a great plant for my little five gallon tank but it would be great in a larger one. Does need good lighting though - bright window or florescents.
Well my Orchid has a number of air roots that escape from above the bark mix, they have little green tips which is interesting. I was not going to immerse the whole orchid rhizome, as much as maybe trail one or two of the air roots into the tank and see what comes of it.
I've been watering the other plants with tank water for some time and they all have benefited from the fish water. Since it's just a small group of 7 White Clouds it's really not a big fish load. Hoping I'll see some young soon.

Iowa Lakes Community College Women and Men Soccer have their season and home opener Friday, Aug. 23 at 6p.m. and 8p.m. respectively. The women play Waldorf College's reserve squad and the men play Briar Cliffs' reserves.
Head Coach Ammon Bennett is optimistic when asked about the women's season.
"Although there are two other nationally ranked teams in the conference (Iowa Western and Iowa central), I think we have a great chance to get to the Region Championship game and a real chance to win it," He said.
Leading goal scorer from last season, Lizzy Rasmussen, and the 6 other returners will bring a level of experience to the Lakers.
"These returning players will have a huge impact for us and will definitely help lead the new group of incoming players," Coach Bennett commented.
The men are scheduled to play several nationally ranked teams like Laramie County, North Idaho and Oakton along with a very challenging conference schedule.
"The men face a tough challenge with two nationally ranked teams in the league (Iowa Western and Marshalltown)," Head Coach Bennett said. "The good news is we are much improved and a deeper compared to last year and we have hopes of advancing to the Region Championship game."
To help anchor the defense for the Lakers is returning keeper Richard Nolasco.
"Nolasco is a solid keeper and great leader for our team, I am excited to see what this year brings for the men," stated Bennett.
The schedule is a challenging one for the women and the men as it features several ranked teams.
"The schedule is highly competitive and should challenge us and hopefully prepare us for the post season," Coach Bennett added.

The first thing that came to my mind when this lightweight Audi R8 GT Coupe pulled into the car wash didn't revolve around beauty or speed or exclusivity [333 exist worldwide]. Not even the $200K+ price tag floated through my subconscious. Rather, I found myself wondering how Audi recommended cleaning the Suzuka Gray Matte finish covering this R8's sleek aluminum shell. A similarly garbed version of the BMW M3 [Frozen Grey Coupe], for instance, is fragile enough to not be covered by the vehicle warranty. So you better think twice before scrubbing one of these babies too hard.
I guess it's hard looking this good.

Adam Evolution
This page is intended to document how the property model library (aka Adam) works, or in some cases is supposed to work.
A few notes on terminology:
property model library (aka Adam) layout library (aka Eve)
The property model library is a system for modeling relationships between properties (simple key/values). These properties often represent parameters and related attributes of a function (this is the case when the library is used for a dialog box in an application) but can also be document properties (the case when used for a palette). The data structure known as a sheet (the name is borrowed from spreadsheet) is created to describe the properties and their relationships. The resulting model is used to assist the user in providing a valid set of parameters to a function or setting valid properties in a document. The model is independent of any specific UI, and serves equally well as the interface to a scripting system as to a graphical UI.
It is important to point out that the property model library doesn't solve all UI issues. The purpose of a user interface is to assist the user in selecting a function and providing a valid set of parameters to that function. The property model library is concerned with the later part of this, what it means to assist in providing a valid set of parameters to a function. And even there the library only deals with a limited but common subset of the possible models.
A simple example to illustrate. Given a function declared like this:
void split_file(path source_file, path destination_directory, size_t size);
- Result
- This function will split the source_file into ceil(size(source_file)/size) pieces, placing them into the destination_directory.
Given this description of the function we can begin to construct a sheet. We start with the basic parameters - I'll use the property model language to illustrate although this could be driven programmatically.
sheet split_file { input: source; destination; size: 4 * 1024; // default to 4K pieces output: result <== { source: source, destination: destination, size: size }; }
At this point all we've done is collected the parameters to the function. Here we assume the source_file and destination_file is being provided from someplace. But what if they aren't valid. We can extend our model to ensure the preconditions for our function:
sheet split_file { input: source; destination; size: 4 * 1024; // default to 4K pieces output: result <== { source: source, destination: destination, size: size }; invariant: valid_source <== source != empty; valid_destination <== destination != empty; }
Here are invariant checks are very simple, but Adam allows us to easily plug-in C++ functions so we could add a valid_path() function if we wanted to be more sophisticated in our model (Adam also has an easily extended type system).
If either invariant is violated, than any cells which contribute the the invariant are marked as "poison" and any cell derived from poisoned cells are marked as invalid. In this way if we had a GUI connected to this sheet, and an OK button bound to result then the OK button would disable unless we had a valid source and destination.
Invariants in our model are one way of expressing the functions pre-conditions.
At this point we are assuming that we are simply being handed all of the parameters at the start - parameters that can be adjusted are stored in interface cells. We'll move size to an interface cell. But we can do better than just letting the user adjust the size - in our description of our function there is a relationship between size, the size of the source file, and the number of files (count) in our result. This relationship is reversible between the size and count. We can express that in Adam as well:
sheet split_file { input: source; destination; interface: size: 4 * 1024; // default to 4K pieces count; logic: relate { count <== ceil(file_size(source)/size); size <== ceil(file_size(source)/count); } output: result <== { source: source, destination: destination, size: size }; invariant: valid_source <== source != empty; valid_destination <== destination != empty; }
We could connect a UI to this and the user could edit either size or count and the other value would be properly reflected. When the user clicked OK (which is bound to result) the application would receive a valid set of parameters for split_file. The application also could retrieve the values in the sheet which currently contribute to this for script recording. So if the user opts to create 10 files and let the system calculate the size, then you could record the count - and play it back on a new file to break that file into 10 pieces. Likewise, someone scripting this system could provide either count or size, and the system would behave correctly.
Enough with the short introduction - how does it work? The solver performs the following tasks:
- initialization
- evaluate predicates for conditional relations
- determine flow for active relations
- evaluate invariants - marking any poison cells
- evaluate output cells
- evaluate any unresolved interface cells.
At least, that is the planned order - I'll talk a little about each -
- Initialization
- Currently Adam defers evaluating all initializers until the first update() call on the sheet. This means that initializers can refer to cells after them. This adds significant complexity which I don't believe is necessary. For basic_sheet_t, which is used for layouts, initializer are evaluated as they are parsed, the most significant impact of this is that when a function is connected to monitor a cell value it is notified immediately of the current cell value. If I made this change to the Adam sheet today I'd also have to change the order that widgets are connected to the sheet and layout. Currently they connect to the sheet first, then the layout, but this means they would be notified of their initial state (which could effect visibility - which effects layout) before being connected to the layout. The order of connections will be reversed in the future.
- Evaluate Predicates
- Currently Adam will attempt to resolve any cells that aren't connected to a relate clause prior to resolving predicates (more on this later). Then it attempts to evaluate predicates and if it gets stuck (because a predicate goes through an unresolved relate clause) then it will back out and defer resolving the predicate until later. In the future, it will be an error to have a predicate involved in a relate clause.
- Determine Flow for Active Relations
- For every active relate clause, exactly one of the terms must be executed in any state. To determine which term, we select the interface cell with the highest priority [oops, I haven't mentioned yet, but every interface cell has a unique priority, setting a cell raises the priority to the highest in the sheet. There is also an interface to touch cells which raises priority on a set of cells, without changing their relative order or values.] That cell becomes an anchor - it is currently evaluated immediately (and if it can't be fully evaluated, it is deferred and we tray again later). In the future it will not be evaluated immediately, only the flow will be marked.
Here there is a change in 1.0.13 from previous version, in previous versions determining the flow had no effect on existing priorities. In 1.0.13 the priorities are "rewritten" in the order the cells are evaluated in with all "roots" having the same relative order and all higher in priority then any derived cells. How this will happen will change in the future but the results should be the same. This change was done to prevent "back flow" of values when a conditional relation toggles (which could cause a cell to be derived from itself). This currently breaks the mark() function a bit, which remembers the current priority to filter out changes in contributing values for scripting. How mark() will work in the future is still a somewhat open issues (probably by capturing a complete list of contributing names).
Relate clauses can cause cycles in the system - if all cells involved in a relate clause are resolved, without evaluating the relate clause, then that relate clause is ignored and a diagnosed is issued to cerr on debug builds pointing out that this relationship wasn't necessary in the current state. It is possible to construct a system where the relation in the cycle which is being dropped is implied under certain circumstance - here it was determined that there needed to be a way to specify which relation in the cycle is dropped. The keyword "weak" was added to allow you to mark a weak relate clause - any weak relate clause is resolved after all non-weak relate clauses, and if all cells in it are resolved first, then it is ignored with no diagnostic.

Vacation home styles bring outdoors inside with furniture, fabric and art
Special to the Union Leader | July 29. 2013 4:42PM
Vintage, rustic or lake-themed furnishings and decor is Dean Sedler's speciality at Cottage Surroundings in Wolfeboro. "Rustic has a relaxed feel. I just love the style and I love the lake," the shop owner said. (LARISSA MULKERN PHOTO)
Designer Diane Ames of Green Mountain Furniture in Ossipee says many customers, including those from greater Boston with vacation homes in the region, want furnishings and accessories to reflect the surroundings.
Ames found it difficult to pinpoint a particular favorite from among Green Mountain's many styles and product lines, but she noted that furniture made from reclaimed barnboard was very popular, along with any furniture made in the U.S.A. Leather couches and chairs are popular choices for second homes as well, she said.
Owner Dean Sedler stocks a large variety of hand crafted furniture, art and accessories. He said many customers, especially those with fond childhood memories of spending time in the Lakes Region, want to recreate the lakeside theme for their own families.

Just replied to your post at the SiGForum. The basics are there. The only way to know for sure about handguns is to put them in YOUR hands. How they fit and feel depends mostly on YOUR first hand knowledge that it will from forum inputs of "buy *this or that*" or "get a *brand name*". What fits and feel best in my hands will likely NOT have the same kind of reception with other people.
Even better input would be to actually shoot ones you are considering/intending to buy before you drop and cash. Rnges that rent, friends going to the range or whatever. these "test drives" can be invaluable especially if you "wanted to get a *whatever* becasue of (whatever reason you have/had), only to shoot it and find: it felt weird, didn't like the way the controls were laid out, didn't like the sights, slide bite, or any of the many other things you would only find out by actually shooting it versus hearing or reading about the "commercials or testamonials" of wherever you read and hear about them from.
Knowing enough about a make or model is a good starting point. However, you will likely never hear anything bad about a gun from a manufacturer. You will likely get steered in a particular direction from the person at the counter depending on the brand preference or bias, pro AND con. Your cash, do your homework and make your decisions your way. Any other questions, just ask away.

Without question, 2012 will be a memorable year for Thierry Henry. Two months after wrapping up a successful 2011 season for the New York Red Bulls, he packed his bags and headed to London to join Arsenal on loan. And with two game-winning goals -- including one on virtually his last kick with the Club -- the Frenchman only added to his legendary status.
But his time back at the Emirates had an expiration date, and he returned to America for his third season with the Red Bulls. USA.Arsenal.com tracked Henry's progress throughout the 2012 season. Below is a brief summary of the second half of his season. For a summary of the first half the season click here.
The Red Bulls opened the month with a trip to New England to take on the Revolution. But without Henry and two other starters, the Revolution rolled past the visitors, and New York missed a golden opportunity to take re-take first place in the conference. Henry returned to the line-up against the Seattle Sounders, but none of his three shots hit their mark and the Red Bulls had to settle for the home draw.
The Red Bulls returned to their winning ways just as Henry scored his first goal in nearly three months. And he ended his drought in spectacular fashion. The Arsenal legend controlled a long pass over the top of the Chicago defense and fired a volley from a tight angle -- left-footed and across his body -- to the far corner past the diving goalkeeper. It was only the Red Bulls second win in eight games, but it was enough to propel them back into second place in the conference.
Henry continued to show good form in the next two games as New York exhibited excellent form at home, but struggled on the road. He followed up an assist in the 2-0 win over Philadelphia at home by scoring the Red Bulls' lone goal in a 3-1 loss in Montreal.
Clip courtesy of NewYorkRedBulls.com
The playoff race began heating up in August as the Red Bulls faced a home-and-home series against Houston Dynamo. Houston leapfrogged past New York and into first place with a 2-0 win in Texas, but the Red Bulls retook sole possession of first place when they won by the same score at Red Bull Arena one week later. It was an assist by Henry that sealed the win.
The conference lead would not last through the weekend, but the victory also marked the beginning of a five-game unbeaten run. A home win over Portland and back-to-back road draws against Sporting Kansas City and DC United closed out the month.
Despite the decent run of form by his team, Henry had only scored twice since suffering a hamstring injury in April. That all changed in early September when he notched a brace against the visiting Columbus Crew - including a memorable "Olimpico" style goal in second half stoppage time. Taking a corner from the left side, Henry bypassed his players in front of the goal and fired a curling shot off the far post and into the net for his 13th goal of the season.
Clip courtesy of NewYorkRedBulls.com
But the unbeaten run would soon come to an end. Two of them in fact. The Red Bulls dropped their first home game of the season against conference leaders Sporting Kansas City in a sluggish performance. That was followed by a 1-1 draw in New England with both goals coming in second half stoppage time.
Henry and the Red Bulls rebounded against Toronto in spectacular fashion. Henry put on a masterclass performance, picking up three assists before claiming a goal of his own in the game's dying moments. His one-touch chip from 25 yards out gave him 14 goals on the year - tying his tally from 2011.
Match highlights courtesy of NewYorkRedBulls.com
A slip at home against Chicago put the Red Bulls playoff hopes in danger. The home loss saw New York drop to fourth in the Eastern Conference with only two games remaining, but a well-timed international break may have been just what the doctor ordered.
A refreshed Red Bulls battled conference leaders Sporting Kansas City to a 0-0 draw at home, which was just enough to secure a spot in the playoffs. But the team still needed to overcome Philadelphia Union on the road to ensure a direct ticket to the playoffs rather than face a one-game knockout round.
And the Red Bulls were up for it. Henry notched his 15th of the season in between two Cooper strikes to give the visitors a 3-0 win and a playoff match-up against their arch-rivals, DC United.
While the final standings gave DC United the home field advantage against the Red Bulls, Mother Nature had other ideas. Hurricane Sandy struck the East Coast of the United States and the New York-New Jersey area was especially hard-hit. With no power and limited transit options around Red Bull Arena, Major League Soccer shifted the first game of the series to RFK Stadium in Washington, DC giving the Red Bulls a bit of an advantage.
And the first leg went New York's way. The game ended in a 1-1 draw after each side scored an own goal within a five-minute span in the second half. The return leg was set for four days later at the Red Bull's stronghold.
But nature again had other ideas. A powerful winter storm dumped several inches of snow on the pitch at game time, and the match was postponed until the following day.
When the game finally took place, an unbelievable final 20 minutes sealed the Red Bulls' fate. New York were awarded a penalty when DC United goalkeeper was adjudged to clip Cooper in the penalty error. Cooper stepped up to take the spot kick and put it past the replacement goalie, much to the approval of the Red Bull faithful. But the referee disallowed the goal and called encroachment on the parts of Henry and Tim Cahill. Cooper's second attempt was blocked.
Six minutes later, the game went to 10-on-10 when Red Bulls' defender Rafa Marquez was sent off for picking up a second yellow card. Just before going into extra time, United found the back of the net, ending the Red Bulls' season.
Thierry Henry finished his third season in MLS - and best to date - with 15 goals and 12 assists.
As for next season, a great deal is up in the air. New York faces some big changes with a new sporting director and a new head coach. The Red Bulls let go of Erik Soler - the man who signed Henry - in October, eventually replacing him with former Scotland manager Andy Roxburgh. The Red Bulls also announced that they will not extend the contract of head coach Hans Backe, whose current deal expires at the end of the year.

Are you dry-firing without a magazine in the gun?
If the magazine is out, the trigger is disconnected from, and is not moving, the striker. When the magazine is in place, the trigger is moving the striker back against significant spring pressure.
See pp. 10, 11, and 23, after clicking on: FMK Firearms Model 9C1 Catalog
The long, hard trigger pull is a major safety device, in this gun.
The only way to overcome the difficulty you're having with the trigger pull is to exercise your trigger finger, and improve its strength.
There are several devices which will help you to do this. The important issues are twofold: First, you need to exercise the trigger finger. Second, you need to be able to isolate your trigger-finger's pull, to keep it from affecting the grip of your other fingers on the gun's handle.
The device that my wife, Jean, finds most useful for doing this is the Gripmaster, in its Medium version (click on: http://www.prohands.net/products/gripmaster.php). She grips the device with her lower three fingers as if it were a pistol, and then, maintaining that strong grip, she separately presses the index-finger pad of the device.

"Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem" Ronald Reagan
I'm giving this jig a try in an attempt to build a Romanian AK with the most ghetto "shop" this side of the Atlantic...
I built the jig, but it seems that my alignment holes are a bit off. If I bend my flat as-is, the right side of the rear trunnion will be 2mm higher than the left side and the left side of the front trunnion will be 1mm higher than the right side. My flat is "cockeyed" in the jig. This means that the holes furthest from the point that is centered (which is somewhere near the rear of the mag well) will be the most mis-aligned. Fortunately, these furthest holes are the trunnion holes, and since I'm doing a screw build I'll be drilling them out to 1/4" anyway which will re-align them. Nevertheless, the axis pin holes will be slightly mis-aligned.
What are the tolerances here? Is +/-1mm something noticeable in final assembly? Should I go ahead and bend? Or should I build another jig...?
If the answer is to build another jig, what can I do to make sure the holes are centered this time? Last time I marked the holes with a marker, measured center by setting my calipers to half the width of the bar stock and using them to lightly score the surface of the bar from both sides (the lines overlapped, indicating they were centered). Then I centerpunched on the line and used the drill press to drill 1/8" holes centered as best I could on the dent from the centerpunch. I guess that wasn't good enough...
Don't use the alignment holes, but measure and move the flat until both sides stick out an equal amount from the center piece.
You're introducing error early on if the sides aren't equal, error which will compound itself in assembly and function as you fit parts. Start out as precise as possible, keep it as precise as possible, and the little errors that we all ultimately will make should remain small and easily compensated for.
I have a daughter. I tell her, "911 is what you dial after you're raped. 1911 is what you should have before they try."
Well, I've bent 2 flats using this method so far. One using a hammer and one using bolts to pull the flat through the angle irons. Both methods produced perfectly symmetrical bends but the hammered flat was slightly warped due to one side of the angle iron jig being slightly too tight. This warp carried through all the way to the bending of the upper rails leaving a slight dip in the middle of the rails. Nevertheless, I kept going with it just to see what would happen and it turns out the bolt carrier will cycle fine in such a mangled POS! The second one bent much more nicely and squared up great.
My main problem right now is that when I am hammering the upper rails flat, the bar stock pieces within the receiver gradually slip down inside the receiver so that by the time I'm done hammering, the inside of the receiver is under-sized. Even worse, on the second receiver, the bar stock angled slightly and one of the receiver's "U-arms" is 30 thousandths longer in the front than the other side. The rear arms are 50 thousandths short of spec.
I'll most likely need to trim the stock due to the receiver being undersized and the uneven rails might cant the magazine leading to trouble feeding. It's also possible that the bolt will be riding too low and interfere too much with the hammer during recoil. It'll probably still cycle fine but the perfectionist in me wants a better way to bend the upper rails.
For a better upper rail bend, you really need a full size male die.
For the best upper rail bend, you need the AK-Builder die, with upper rail step-down!
I have a daughter. I tell her, "911 is what you dial after you're raped. 1911 is what you should have before they try."
For semi builds it's probably not.
No matter the need, it's still the BEST. And if the bent flats are spec, yes it'll work on already bent flats.
I have a daughter. I tell her, "911 is what you dial after you're raped. 1911 is what you should have before they try."
What does the step jig do that the normal jig doesn't? I take it there is supposed to be a step in the upper rails but I have no idea what this means...

Try the new Oxygen Fonts!
6 comments:
+1 - I looked at these fonts to use in Fuduntu recently, they look really nice. Ended up choosing Droid Sans though, thought it fit the desktop interface better.ReplyDelete
Hey Brother. How are you?ReplyDelete
Been time I didn't dropped by your blog. Your last post will prove informative to many users.
Take Care bro.
Thanks Fewt and Mohammad... Glad to see you around!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMay 25, 2012 at 5:58 AM
Absolutely loving the Oxygen font, when I first saw it I immediately started looking up the font's name and using it. Thanks.ReplyDelete
Only one remark: IMO every number should have constant width, "1" and "7" are more narrow than othersReplies
Glad that you enjoy them. I agree with your remark, but note that I shared the beta version of these fonts, they have not been released yet, so that's why there's still polishing left to do.Delete
- AnonymousSeptember 12, 2012 at 2:49 PM
There is the problem with the Oxygen-Fonts in Ubuntu. In the KDE font settings the Oxygen Mono font can not be select as Mono-font. I guess mono fonts carry some sort of marking that they are a mono font and I assume this marking does not exist.ReplyDelete

Duplicate replaces "Save As" in OS X Lion
February 8, 2012 Leave a comment
I am a big "Save As" user. If you make modifications to a file but want to save it under a new name all you have to do is hit Save As and enter a new file name. But in Apples OS X Lion the Save As function, in Apple applications such as Numbers and Pages, are now gone.
In it's place Apple has added Duplicate.
With the app creates a copy of the file and brings it to the front. The original file is then cleared from the screen. Do not worry your original file is still in its directory unmodified. At the top of the new file the word "copy" has been added to the end of the files name.
Careful, this new file has not been saved. It's just a copy and can easily be deleted. I recommend that the next step be to save the duplicate file right a way.
Hit the save option. Now you can rename the file and specify the directory it will go in.
As far as I can tell the replacement of Save As with Duplicate only appears be in Apple's iWork applications.

WEST LONG BRANCH, N.J. – Junior Connor Panas was named the MAAC Player of the Year while fellow junior Rohn Pierce was named the MAAC Pitcher of the Year at the MAAC awards banquet held on the campus on Monmouth University on Tuesday afternoon. Coach Mike McRae was named the Anaconda Sports Coach of the Year for the fourth time in his career.
A program-record eight Golden Griffins earned conference honors – Panas, Pierce, senior Ronnie Bernick, sophomores Alex Godzak, Anthony Massicci and Brett Siddall were voted to the All-MAAC First Team while freshman Christ Conley and junior Jesse Puscheck earned All-MAAC Second-Team accolades. The eight selections are the most since Manhattan had eight selections in 2009.
Panas becomes the fourth player in program history to be named MAAC Player of the Year and third in the last six years. The third baseman, who was a unanimous choice to the First Team, is second in the conference in batting average (.358) and first in home runs (six), RBI (48) and slugging percentage (.590). A two-time MAAC Player of the Week, Panas leads the team with 20 multi-hit games and 13 multi-RBI games.
A unanimous selection as Pitcher of the Year and to the All-MAAC First Team, Pierce is the second player in program history to win the Pitcher of the Year award. Pierce is 10-2 with a 2.03 ERA in 97.2 innings with only 16 walks. The righthander is one of six pitchers in the country with at least 10 wins, 95 innings pitched and an ERA under 2.10. He has gone at least six innings in all 13 starts and has not walked more than two batters this season.
McRae also won the Coach of the Year award in 2008 and 2010 at Canisius to go along with his 2003 award at Niagara. The 10th-year coach of the Griffs has won the award four times, the second most of any coach in league history. He has led the Griffs to a 38 wins for the fourth time in seven years, a program-record 20 MAAC wins, the first win over a ranked team in program history and to a No. 29 ranking in this week's Collegiate Baseball Top 30 poll.
Bernick earned the utility spot on the All-MAAC First Team after starting 24 games at shortstop and 15 games at catcher. A Second-Team All-MAAC selection last year, Bernick is hitting .295 with 32 runs scored.
Godzak gives Canisius two pitchers on the All-MAAC First Team after earning All-MAAC Second-Team honors as a season. The 2013 MAAC Rookie of the Year, Godzak is 9-3 with a 2.72 ERA. He second in the MAAC in ERA and 26th nationally with nine wins.
Massicci ranks fourth in the MAAC in batting average (.342), second in runs scored (42), first in walks (38) and second in on-base percentage (.470). He has scored 34 runs and worked 29 walks in the last 31 games.
A two-time MAAC Player of the Week, Siddall leads the MAAC with a .359 batting average while ranking second in slugging (.529) and fourth in RBI (42). The Windsor, Ontario native leads the team with six three-hit games and starts the postseason on a career-best 12 game-hitting streak.
Conley is the first Canisius freshman position player to earn conference honors since Brian Burton in 2008. The catcher is fifth on the team in batting average (.339) and ranks first in the country among freshmen with a .469 on-base percentage.
Puscheck has made 40 starts at designated hitter and reached base in 45 of 50 games. The North Tonawanda, N.Y. native is hitting .305 with 37 runs scored, 37 RBI and 26 walks.
Ten Golden Griffins were named to the MAAC All-Academic Team – seniors Ryan Coppinger and Jesse Kelso, Panas, Pierce and fellow juniors Aaron Capser, Mike Krische, Devon Stewart and Eric Stolzenburg and Siddall along with fellow sophomore Iannick Remillard.
The No. 1 seed Golden Griffins open play in the 2014 MAAC Championship on Wednesday night at 7 p.m. against an opponent to be determined. The six-team, double-elimination tournament is taking place at FirstEnergy Park in Lakewood, N.J.

In the Milk Production report released today by the USDA, milk production in the 23 major states is on the rise.
In the 23 major dairy states, milk production totals during October rolled in at 15.2 billion pounds. Compared to the same month in 2010, production was up 2.5 percent (0.4 billion pounds) from 14.8 billion pounds.
Approximately half of this 400-million-pound surge may be attributable to the rise in both cow numbers and production per cow compared to last year. October 2011 marked a 20-pound boost in milk per cow. Over the last 12 months, it rose from 1,767 pounds to 1,787 pounds per cow.
The number of milk cows in the 23 major states has also been on the rise. Compared to October 2010, cow numbers were up 111,000 head to 8.48 million from 8.37 million. October also boasted an elevated number of cows compared to September of this year, up 10,000 head.
Reported September production has been revised to reflect a 10-million-pound reduction from last month's preliminary production estimate. This is a 0.1 percent drop.
Production in the third quarter (July to September) was down slightly, 48.7 million pounds, from the second quarter (April to June), 50.4 million pounds. Compared to the same quarter in September 2010 production in the third quarter was up 1.3 percent.
Texas saw the greatest production gains in both September and October compared to a year before. September milk in Texas was up 10.1 percent, while October production rose 9.8 percent to 809 million pounds compared to 2010. Florida also saw gains with production rising this September and October 9.2 and 7.9 percent, respectively compared to last year.
Of the 23 selected states, Missouri saw the biggest declines, dropping 4.5 percent in September and 1.8 percent in October over the same months last year. Pennsylvania production also dropped over the past year 1.5 percent and 1.7 percent in September and October, respectively compared to last year.
In the 23 states, milk production in October 2011, compared to October 2010 rose 2.5 percent.

As promised in the original costume build thread, I'll report my new helmet's assembly and painting process here. :) You can find my ESB Fett project thread in the Costume subforum.
The helmet is often the most important part of the suit and people tend to put a lot of effort, time and money to their costume "faces". My helmet came as a part of a larger package from a retiring collector a couple years back and back then I really didn't notice any faults in it. However the Don Post Deluxe helmet is not known for precise features or very accurate paintjob. It's more like a nice collector's piece, something to display and of course an important part of Fett helmet history.
This was the reason I didn't want to do any modifications to it, because of it's collectable value. No one really knows how many unmodified and fine-condition Deluxes exist anymore. The helmet was good sized for me and even the paintjob could've been "good enough" but the visor inaccuracy made the upgrade clear as I finally realized what was wrong with the helmet. It creates a whole another kind of look and effect when the visor is deeper in the helmet.
A new helmet then. I recently purchased a Bobamaker helmet from Cargo Hold. This one was in mint condition and the important Dent detail had been exchanged into a Fettpride Dent. I love the BM's durable finish and the opportunity of getting prepping and painting it immediately without need to do a whole lot of cleaning first. I was very happy with the acquisition. Just a tiny flaw; the other cheek and mandible courve seem to be warped a tiny bit, I need to figure out a way to straighten it somehow or then just leave it as it is.
I have to admit, I'm scared sithless to start painting this helmet!! The armor was child's play compared to the complexity of a layered ESB paintjob. For the painting project I hunted every template I could get and then compared these to each other and some pro paintjobs I had seen. Now that I have already started painting I can't believe how skilled and precise you master painters are, as it seems impossible to replicate every little scratch and chipping detail, yet you guys do. Hats off to the amazingly skilled painters here in TDH, you're crazy.
This is my newbie first go at painting a helmet and I'll try to do it as well as I possibly can, with the time and resources at hand. :)
This is how the helmet was pictured in it's original sales thread. Mine!
First stage, silver basecoat completed. As you can see, the right-hand side mandbile is a bit higher than the other one, creating an uneven look. I think it might work if I just bent them at the same level when hotgluing or bolting the visor inside and it would hold them at place. Any opinions if this would work?
Here's some of the tools I'm using. Winsor & Newton's liquid masking will be used for covering weathering details as new paint layers are applied. I chose Vallejo's Model Air series because of their availability. I can get these from the local hobby store without any external hassle. Ordering paints from webstores has proved to be a hit and miss gamble and personally I'm not doing it anymore.
Aaaaiee, first coat! Even from the Rafal's great templates it's pretty **** hard to determine in what exact order the different coloured paint layers should be on top of each other. This is the first, light layer upon masked silver battle damage. By the way, all colour hues in these pictures will be off, as my camera was made long long time ago (and probably in some other galaxy as well)!
Peeling off masking, laying down a new one, another layer of paint and peeling off the mask again. It's like the most rewarding feeling in the world to rip off the masking coat to reveal the chipping details underneath! This is how it slowly starts to resemble a finished product.
Some people do the paintjob in a "topical" way, meaning that they lay down the green base color of the helmet and then paint all the scratches and damage on top of it as it's easier and if the layers are thin, no one will see the difference. I wanted to do a layered paintjob however, as it's more realistic and that's how it was done in the movie as well.
Let's continue from here. :) Thanks for interest!

If you watch most of those videos with kids under 4, none of them actually turn onto their toeside edge, basically they sideslip the whole mountain. Im not knocking it - as long as the kids having fun, but thats not snowboarding, its sliding the mountain on your heels. Until they turn, they are never more than a level 1, steeper terrain - don't even think about it.
Put your kid on skis, there is actually a chance you get to ski with your kids for some of the holiday.
Managing parents expectations is normally the most difficult part of working at a ski school.

For me, purchase, no question. Like I mentioned upthread, I have two sons, 2.5 years apart. My general strategy will be to buy new stuff out of season and pass it down. (I also have a nephew 1-1/2 younger than my youngest -- don't know if he'll do snow sports, but bikes and other stuff will get passed down to him for sure.)
Skis. I bought new "last year's model" skis and bindings in the summer on discount ($200, I think. MSRP would've been $300+). Then in season I bought adjustable Roces boots ($100), which we got two seasons out of. Real rough math, but kid 1 got almost 30 days on the gear, making that roughly $10 a day. Say kid 2 uses the stuff for two years, also around 30 days, that makes $5 a day. (Right now I don't have issues with passing boots down from kid to kid.)
Snowboard. Similarly, last spring/summer when discounts started, I bought a new "last year's model" board for about $120. (Ride Lowrider, 90cm. Looks like 2013 model has MSRP of $180 this year.) I bought new Flow Micron bindings (previous year's model, XS) off of eBay for about $50. Boots I'll buy in season to make sure they fit, probably full price. Once I see how the kid does and how the boots work out, I'll watch next spring's sales and buy the next 2 sizes up of the same model of boot if discounts are good. Same plan for passing snowboard gear down to second kid as with skis.
I'm sure this beats rentals anywhere. At some point too I did some numbers on those "new gear each season" programs and didn't think they made sense for me at all, especially since I plan to pass down. I can see kids' needing new boots each season, but I'm hoping a given size board will last 2 seasons per kid. So given their age spread, I'm thinking they'll get about 4 years out of a board.
Plus there's never having to deal with a rentals area.
|So guys, did you purchase the equiptment for your little tykes, or simply rent them?
|Back on topic. Start them as young or old as you want, let them try both. Expose them to other kids that are skiing/riding. Kids learn by seeing, doing and playing. Playing and enjoying the snow is the key...in HI saw like 2 year olds surfing...on the board with mom/dad or standing up, dad pushing the board and kid falling and swimming. Just let them have fun and learn joys of playing in the snow.

At age 3, a child is beginning to develop personality. This is accomplished due to trying different behaviors and attempting interaction/communication with peers and older individuals. Although behavior can be an early indication of personality, one can easily manipulate an outgoing child (between ages 1 to 4) to a complete introvert by reinforcing certain behaviors. Instead of basing your argument off of an insignificant sample (3 children), do some research on cognitive and psychosocial development.

Oldest....a weenie that wines and rides but is not a rider, second ...come on mfker I can take it and third...it may hurt for a minute but I ain't letting go...and she is tougher than her two older brothers.
Mike brings up an interesting point. I would assume (<-keyword) skiing would be less physically demanding compared to snowboarding at her age, but I bet what is "naturally" comfortable also plays a part. At this time, I'd have her try both and see which one she picks up the quickest and prefers. Once she hits age 5+ she should have enough muscle development to seriously take on either. I'm still jealous every time I see kids tearing it up on snowboards; I could have added 10 more years to what I have now
I'm interested in these kinds of conversations because I have two young sons. Younger turns 4 in January. Older will be 6.5 then.
Older will switch to snowboard this season. He spent the last two winters (at 4.5 and 5.5) on skis (and the prior winter on toy cross-country skis in the back yard). I tortured myself about when to start him and whether to start on skis or snowboard. (I don't really downhill ski -- I've only been about a dozen times. I do cross-country, though.) There were many factors in my decision-making. I'll mention a few.
My main goal was to set him up for success and fun. Along those lines I bought into the physical-development arguments that say skiing first. (But I can see the point in the approach that says let the kid pick -- they'll have the success/fun because they're doing what they want.) (But I personally just hate to see people flail unsuccessfully at something and that was some of my fear with starting my kid on the board.)
I can appreciate what the OP is saying about stability. But the arguments against say that the *average* younger children don't have the ankle strength and control to make the board do much of anything. (Plus their bodies are a lot less familiar with the toe-heel axis kind of balancing on the board compared to side-to-side balancing.) I'm just repeating the arguments here -- my sum experience is with exactly one kid, who hasn't even switched to boarding yet.
I though older kid made great progress on skis. He spent 15+ days on the snow first season and 10+ the second. About half the days the first season were in full-day ski school. Second season he just had a couple hours of privates. (A teacher at the end of first season said kid was developing great and all he needed was miles under his belt.)
The decision to put him in ski school so much the first season came largely from a recognition of my own limitations and difficulties teaching close family members anything. (Plus the fact that I don't actually ski.) Anyhow, it let me play more of the role of "let's go explore" rather than "technique coach," but I did insist that he ski his best, including a good bit of age-appropriate parallel skiing the second season. (I absolutely can't stand watching small kids power wedging their way down a (steeper) hill on skis, whether they're happy and in control or in terror and not.)
Also, when I was scouting all this out a couple of years ago, it seemed there weren't many resorts that were offering a full-day riding program for kids as young as 4 (some only offered it to that age on weekends). Most of them wanted to put off riding until 6 or 7. My impression is that this seems to be changing, even in the past 2 years.
Regarding shitting their pants -- most schools make it real clear that even though they'll take kids as young as 3 for all-day group lessons, the kids all need to be potty trained. This wasn't an issue for my older son, but it will be an issue with younger.
I could write a lot more about this, but it's already turning into a book.
I'm excited about getting older son on the board this year. I'm thinking of doing a private lesson for him the first day or two, then a handful of full-day group lessons -- but not go overboard like his first year on skis.
Younger son looks like he'll be more of a challenge. Frankly, I don't think he's ready for it this season, but my wife (who skis) wants to get back out on the slopes this year.

I'm sure you don't remember the first time you touched the stove (or something really hot), and probably even forgot about it after it healed, but from then on you knew not to repeat that behavior. At that age, she will only be able to comprehend basic stimuli (happiness, pain, fear, sadness) to build experience in this world until she develops abstract thought/introspection.

You don't need to condition kids for pain, they don't even feel it after like 30 seconds. I need conditioning for pain, ffs!
Kid's personalities are gonna dictate their on-snow attitude at very young ages. They are either gonna attack it, or not.

A Lifetime of Leg Hating
I can remember the exact moment I became self conscious of my body. I was 12 and walking home from school when a boy I knew pointed at me, laughed, and said "Look how fat your legs are!"
I looked down at them and for the first time in my life I felt that my body was inadequate.
That moment has stayed with me forever, because that comment sparked a huge complex I had about my legs, something which still bothers me today. For years I only wore trousers and when I finally began wearing skirts and dresses, I always made sure I had tights or leggings on underneath, even in the Summer.
In fact, this Summer is the first since I was 12 that I have gone completely bare …

If this is going to be your first handgun, I recommend something in the compact size. Both XDs and M&Ps come in this size, and the Glock model 23 is a compact. This will allow you to conceal without too much trouble while retaining a lengthy-enough barrel to put shots where they count without much difficulty. In terms of these manufacturers, I've 95% sure they all stand behind their products for life if you buy new (and some even if you don't buy new, although I don't know which). They are also known for their products reliability so I wouldn't give this too much thought.
I find it interesting as a first handgun all of your choices have striker action (as opposed to hammers). There is nothing wrong with this but I was wondering if your list of candidates was given to you by someone else? I prefer hammers myself, but mostly because I learned on a 1911. This is just food for thought.
Also, as a first handgun, you may want to consider going with a 9mm or a 45 ACP. The 40S&W round, while not necessarily punishing, does have a sharp, snappy recoil and can irritate novice hands, especially in a compact-sized weapon. Comfort issues and blisters did occasionally come out whenever I shot Glocks 22 and 23 (40S&W fullsize, 40S&W compact), but I never had an issue with the Glocks 17 & 19 (9mm fullsize, 9mm compact). Recent ammunition spikes in price and lulls in availability might also lead one to choose a caliber which is cheaper and/or easier to find. It is also for this reason I think you should consider a 9mm weapon in particular.
Hope this helps!

Thank you for the class and for sharing your expertise with us. The variety of topics was great, and you presented them in a lively way. I will feel better equipped to find a history job, knowing that nonprofit issues are such a vital component. I'll also be more motivated to get involved in volunteering, from looking at some of the wonderful supplemental resources you provided. Thank you again!
I loved this class!! I feel that exceeded my expectations. I think the format is perfect, with the frame homework and web references. The instructor, Linda Kissam, is very knowledgeable on the subject. She goes into detail but at the same time stays focused on the important highlights of every subject. I believe I still have a lot to absorb from all the material in this class, and I look forward to taking another class with her on the nonprofit sector.
This was my first class with ed2go and I found that the class and the instructor were exactly what I needed and better than expected. I highly recommend this course!
This course was exactly the type of course I was looking for. Thank you for offering it.
This course is going to be very beneficial to me on my job. The information provided in the supplementary material will be a good future reference also. Thank you!
Thank you for offering this course. It fulfilled my desire to learn more about the executive director position as well as valuable information about nonprofits. I look forward to taking other courses related to nonprofits.
Great course! Very good learning tools and supplemental materials. The teacher was great. She was very helpful and knowledgable.
I have been doing the same thing for years and after a few layoffs and restructures in media, I decided I was ready to do something more fulfilling and this is step one. I have worked with nonprofits from a media standpoint for several years, but on the other side of the desk. Now I hope to jump to the other side and work at a nonprofit. I hope that this will get me there and open some new doors. The first class really enlightened me and I can't wait to take the next one!
I was a little afraid of taking a class like this and actually getting something out of it. I was very impressed with the ability of the instructor to draw me in and make me feel like I was part of an on going discussion.
Amazing course, thank you!

Arsène Wenger says Arsenal will go "step by step" with Jack Wilshere's fitness and not set him specific targets during his rehabilitation.
The England midfielder has not played this season after undergoing surgery last September and he was recently ruled out of this summer's European Championships.
Wilshere has been earmarked as a possible inclusion in the Great Britain Olympics squad but Wenger is only concerned about the 20-year-old regaining full fitness.
"He makes slow progress and at the moment is still in our rehab centre," said the Arsenal manager. "We take time, we are patient with him. He makes progress, but slow progress.
"His focus is to get back on the football pitch and play, there is not one specific target like the Olympics or the European Championships, although he is out of that. His main priority is to get out on the pitch and play football.
"Nothing is definitely set at the moment, because we are in a slow progress world where we go step by step. If we start pre-season at the beginning of July and he is completely fit to join in normal training, then we will see [about the Olympics]. But let's not forget he has not played for a whole year. To be competitive at the top level it will take him some time to come back and we have to give him that time.
"I am cautious with him," added Wenger. "Imagine you are 20 years old and you play in the national team. You prepare and suddenly, nothing at all.
"You get the first knock, the second knock, you think 'OK, at least I will be ready for the Euro.' Then you have to convince him, 'look my friend, it will not work for the Euros.' You knock him down again. Then, you set him another target. If he doesn't make it, he will lose a complete appetite for rehab because it's difficult.
"You must work every day out there, not knowing when you come back. If you say, 'you can go to the Olympics' and he doesn't make it, what do you give him after? Let's take our time and not set any specific targets. The most important thing for him is to focus on day-to-day work and see if he can get better."
Arsenal's players begin pre-season training in July and Wenger would like Wilshere to be involved. But he knows there are no guarantees.
"I do not want to set the Olympics as a target [for him] because I do not know whether he will be fit to start at the beginning of the season," he said. "It is just our target to get him to improve.
"When we start on July 9, if he can join in then we have won the battle, but that is not guaranteed."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source
