Two of the three that I have experience with can be field stripped easily, by just lining up the marks and pushing the slide stop pin out with the pointy corner of the magazine. The other one, an older K-9, has no marks to line up, so I just guess where to hold it, and the pin has to be tapped out with a screwdriver handle or a little plastic mallet. No big deal on any of them.
They are tight, when new, but after about a dozen take-downs, they loosen up a little, and you get the hang of it. Nothing to be afraid of.

Wondering has anybody install Spurs or Bells in their ESB Boba Fetts? Looking to do it myself but not sure with spurs or bells make the best and closest effect.
Wondering has anybody install Spurs or Bells in their ESB Boba Fetts? Looking to do it myself but not sure with spurs or bells make the best and closest effect.
I heard some guys put spare change in their pockets
Yea I heard that too, but im sure you can tell the difference between hearing a spur and loose change in your pockets.
I've used my keys. It comes pretty close lol.
haha nice. I started searching on amazon and ebay for spurs small enough to fit in the flight suit or spats but couldn't find any. The only thing that seems like in might work is a small wrist band with jingle bells on it.
Throw a few jingle bells in your side pouches. It doesn't take a lot of them and the medium sized ones will work. You can't really hear them over the sound of everything else at a troop but if it's quiet you could.
Can I ask what part of this costume actually creates the jingle?
I've been doing some research on some of the threads, and from what I understand, the sound was put in post production. So...to your understanding, what is actually creating the 'spur sound' without having the spurs? Is it the metal shin tools?
Maybe his pouches are full of loose change?
They say in the SE with commentary during the ESB scene they put spurs on him as he walked.
Just did a little wiki search...to confirm...
"Sound editor Ben Burtt added the sound of jangling spurs, created and performed by the Foley artist team of Robert Rutledge and Edward Steidele, to Fett's appearance in Cloud City, intending to make the character menacing and the scene reminiscent of similar gunfighter appearances in Western films."
I thought the same thing, they are in sound only. I think it was supposed to be one of those things that you don't notice, but your brain did. I don't think Ben really had a particular part in mind that would jingle on Fett.
The spurs are a sound effect. I spent about 30 minutes in a Hobby Lobby ringing all the different sizes of jingle bells. I found one that is about a half inch or so wide and thought it sounded nice with others. So I put three in each of my big shin tool pockets. It's subtle, but a few people have asked me about it. I did it more for myself than others, but in a quiet venue, you can definitely hear it.
I can just picture someone jingling bells in an aisle for 30 minutes....
....I'll probably do the same thing.
I'm gonna try the bells in the shin tool pockets. Never really thought where it came from, just cool to hear as he walked by in a quiet room. Maybe the shin tools were moving against each other?

I will eventually have a sign up for members to help volunteer their time to help man our table. As at C4, we are required to have someone at all times the con is open so we will be looking to our members for help. Art and I will be heading to Orlando for this event (this will be Art's first Celebration! and my 4th!). We are really looking forward to connecting with all of you this year.

Who is the most eligible bachelor in the world?
(Yahoo!) - Prince Harry is up there on the list of royals caught up in scandals in recent years, but he's now shot to the top of another (much more desirable) list. The mischievous redhead was just named Town & Country magazine's most popular bachelor in the world. The list, featured in the mag's February issue, is comprised of 39 other lust-worthy men and includes a variety of the hottest guys in film, politics, and sports from all over the world.
The most surprising thing? The fact that Harry beat out perennial bachelor George Clooney, who barely hung on, coming in at number 33 on the magazine's list. Check out the vid to see who else made the cut. Do you guys think Prince Harry deserved the top spot? And more importantly, who else would you have liked to see included?

With the National Hurricane Center forecasting an active and potentially deadly 2010 hurricane season, it is important to know that protection is available during these storms.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has long recognized that safe rooms constructed from cast-in-place and precast concrete provide effective protection against the most dangerous storms.
Safe rooms built according to FEMA publication 320, Taking Shelter from the Storm: Building a Safe Room for Your Home or Small Business, will provide near-absolute protection against wind and wind-borne debris associated with tornadoes and hurricanes. FEMA 361, Design and Constructive Guidance for Community Safe Rooms, contains technical guidance for the design and construction of community safe rooms intended for larger groups of people. Both were updated in 2008.
The changes to the prescriptive designs contained in FEMA 320 are the result of post-disaster investigations into the performance of safe rooms and shelters after tornadoes and hurricanes. In addition to FEMA 320 and 361, there is now a consensus standard from the International Code Council (ICC) and the National Storm Shelter Association (NSSA) for storm shelters, called the ICC/NSSA Standard for the Design and Construction of Storm Shelters (ICC-500).
The ICC-500, also published in 2008, is based on design criteria contained in earlier editions of FEMA 320 and 361 (published in 2000), and was coordinated with the 2008 update of the FEMA publications.
CLICK HERE FOR THE WEB EXTRA ARTICLE: FEMA Updates Safe Room Publications: Changes for Concrete Safe Rooms
Building safe rooms with concrete
The inherent physical characteristics of properly constructed reinforced concrete make it ideal to withstand wind-induced pressures and wind-borne debris impacts. With the addition of an exterior finish capable of preventing water infiltration from wind-driven rain, these systems can provide exceptional protection.
Accordingly, concrete is one of the most preferred construction materials for safe rooms. Most safe rooms are constructed with conventional cast-in-place concrete and/or precast concrete units.
FEMA 320 provides examples of how concrete can be used to build residential and small community safe rooms. When this document's precriptive designs are not used for the construction of a safe room, the design criteria in FEMA 361 should be followed.
The FEMA 361 criteria contain all of the necessary information to design a safe room that provides near-absolute protection using reinforced concrete. The prescriptive designs in FEMA 320 have been designed to withstand pressures from 250 mph, three-second gust winds and to resist wind-borne debris represented by a 15-pound, 2x4 wood board traveling horizontally at 100 mph.
Cast-in-place and precast concrete
FEMA 320 provides prescriptive solutions for safe rooms using cast-in-place and precast concrete. For a standard 8x8-foot safe room, the wall thickness is 6 inches minimum, with #4 vertical bars at 12 inches on center (each way). However, FEMA 320 now provides prescriptive solutions for a 14x14-foot residential or small, community safe room.

Up to two mins ago i had never heard of nason fulthane paint.... but after looking on the net, it came out as tractor paint....... i like it lol.... well that puppy should take some abuse.. cheers, im still open to any suggestions though.....
"what do you mean my rides to small? well at least im not making up for anything......"
hi go with nason fulthane easy to use. last if taken care of up to 5 years
it is a single stage,and if your color is a solid even better.
Forgiving Paint
Hi guys, first of all i want to say i have learned alot form this site and i can count on one hand how many days i have been here.
Right my problem is i want to repaint my car, but i don't want anything fancy, i dont give a damn that my body work has a few ripples in it, all i want to do is get the current paint off so i can clean the rust out before it becomes a major problem.
1) I will most likely going back down to metal in a few places, but not all
2) I don't care what type of paint it is, its only to last me till i can afford to go back and do it properly (when money is not too tight)
3) Its not a show paint job (although i am above using a 5 inch brush on it) im willing to use cans of spray paint as i don't have a compressor (not yet)
4) I have heard that using matt paint can be easy and forgiving, am i wrong?
5) I saw someone talking about something called single stage? any good here?
Now to say again, its just so i can get to deal with the rust and then drive down the street and enjoy it till i can afford a good paint job, at the moment im turning my hand to fabricating one off parts for the car, like a new petrol tank, new hood, rear bed cover, new tail gate, suicide doors new interior ( so as you can see i have my hands full till i have more money.....)
any thoughts?

The largest of the wildfires wreaking havoc across New South Wales was started by the Australian military, investigators have found.
One man has died and more than 200 homes destroyed in the country's most populous state since Thursday as a result of more than 100 different fires.
Investigators were called after reports that the biggest of them, near the city of Lithgow to the west of Sydney, started at around the same time as the army was performing training exercises.
Today, the Rural Fire Service issued a statement which said the blaze "was started as a result of live ordnance exercises" at an army range.
Though it has not caused any deaths or injuries, as the single biggest fire it has burned through 47,000 hectares (180 square miles) of land and destroyed a number of homes. It was only downgraded from the highest emergency category this morning.
The Australian Defence Department said it would not comment further on the fire service investigators' findings, but it had previously confirmed it was engaged in exercises at the time and has been carrying out its own inquiries.
The news drew anger from Mark Greenhill, mayor of the community of Blue Mountains, which has been ravaged by several of the fires over the past week.
"I would have hoped on a day like that — which was a dry day, a hot day, with the winds — the Australian military would have known it wouldn't be a good time to be igniting," Greenhill told the Australian Broadcasting Corp.
New South Wales Premier Barry O'Farrell came to the military's defence, however.
"I want to ensure that this doesn't detract from the efforts that Defence have made over the past week in assisting the state's emergency services battle these fires," he told the Seven Network.
Meanwhile, winds that were fanning wildfires and showering embers on threatened communities eased late Wednesday, after scores of Blue Mountains residents evacuated their homes.
Residents were told they could return to their homes on Wednesday night, as cool weather settled across the region and fears lifted that the fires could spread and threaten homes. There were no reports of property loss or injuries on Wednesday.
While many hours of firefighting are still to come, "the broader risk to a much larger, more widespread population has certainly eased", Rural Fire Service commissioner Shane Fitzsimmons said.

Federal law requires all students who receive financial aid to make Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) toward their degree. The intent of this policy is to ensure that students who are receiving federal financial aid for their education are making measurable progress toward completion of a degree in a reasonable period of time. This policy affects federal, state and NMU institutional financial aid eligibility. Students at Northern Michigan University must meet the following three standards:
- Credit Hour Pace:
Students must earn at least 67 percent of the credit hours which they attempt for each program level (undergraduate, post-baccalaureate, or graduate degree). This calculation includes all accepted transfer credit hours as well as credit hours attempted at NMU. Students who fail to meet this requirement will be put on financial aid warning status for their next academic semester of attendance. Students on warning status will be notified of eligibility requirements. Eligibility for financial aid will be terminated if the deficiency is not corrected by the end of the warning period. This standard is measured upon the conclusion of each semester.
- Grade Point Average (GPA):
To meet graduation requirements, undergraduate programs require a minimum grade point average of 2.0, while a graduate degree requires a minimum grade point average of 3.0.
To be eligible for financial aid, students must meet the Academic Proficiency Standards as outlined in the Undergraduate Bulletin or meet the Academic and Retention Standards listed in the Graduate Bulletin. This standard will be measured upon the conclusion of each semester by the Academic & Career Advisement Center (ACAC) and the Graduate Office.
Transfer credits will not be included in the cumulative GPA.
- Maximum Credit Hours:
Undergraduate students are limited to receiving aid for up to 150% of the credit hours required for completion of their program of study.
- Students changing majors will be limited to financial aid for up to 150% of the number of credits required for their new program, including all previous credit hours attempted, regardless of the major declared at the time.
- An exception is made for students transferring from a bachelor's degree program to an associate, certificate, or diploma program. These students will be eligible to receive aid for up to 150% of the credit hours required in their degree audit under their new program starting with the semester that the student changed programs (including any prior credit hours that apply towards the new program). This provision may only be exercised once.
Graduate students may receive aid for up to 60 credit hours attempted in the pursuit of their first master's degree. After completion of the first master's degree, a student is eligible for financial aid for an additional 60 credits towards a second graduate degree.
Transfer students will be evaluated by adding their accepted transfer hours to attempted hours at NMU, allowing students to receive aid for the balance of the maximum length of their program.
The Maximum Credit Hour standard will be evaluated early each semester. Students will be notified when their financial aid eligibility is to be terminated. For further definition of attempted credit hours, see the Attempted Hours section below.
In addition, when a student does not have a realistic chance to meet their graduation requirements by the calculated maximum hours their financial aid eligibility will be terminated.
Attempted Hours
Attempted hours include credit hours successfully completed as well as credit hours for which students receive non-passing grades (F or U), credit hours from which students withdraw (W) and credit hours that are not yet finished (I, X, MG). Classes that a student passes and repeats count as earned only once, but all credit hours, including the repeated class, are considered as attempted. Remedial classes count in both attempted and earned hours calculations even though the credits may not apply toward the completion of their degree requirement. Transfer credit hours that are accepted toward a student's educational program count as both attempted and earned credit hours.
Students who regain financial aid eligibility by meeting the appropriate standards (meeting or exceeding 67% completion standard and attaining academic good standing) should notify the Financial Aid Office. In these cases, the student will not be required to file an appeal to the Financial Aid Office to have their eligibility reinstated. Also, if the Financial Aid Office identifies that a student is again meeting the standards then no appeal will be necessary.
If special circumstances such as illness, injury, the death of a family member or other extenuating circumstances prevent the student from meeting these requirements, the termination of eligibility can be appealed to the SAP Appeal Committee.
As part of the appeal process, students will be required to explain why they have failed to meet SAP, and what has changed in the student's situation that would allow the student to demonstrate SAP at the next evaluation. Supporting documentation of circumstances must be included with appeals. Appeal approvals are not applied retroactively after a semester has concluded.
Appeal approvals may include financial aid probation or require an academic plan to place the student on track for successful program completion. Financial aid probation appeal approvals will allow students one more semester of financial aid eligibility, while academic plans would be required if the student is conditionally approved for subsequent academic periods.
Appeals approved by Admissions and Academic Policies Committee (AAPC) or the Graduate Program Committee (GPC) for students suspended or dismissed under the Grade Point Average standard will be accepted as approved for financial aid eligibility. If an undergraduate student does not successfully appeal the length of their suspension and returns to NMU after the conclusion of their one year suspension period, they must successfully appeal through the Financial Aid Office to again receive financial aid.Understanding NMU's Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy

'It was the first time that Buffalo – which lost at home to Columbus on Tuesday – has lost consecutive home games since losing three straight in January of last season.'
Archives for January 2001
Bruins 2, Sabres 1
Boston 2, Buffalo 1
'Mikko Eloranta scored his second goal of the game with 13:25 remaining as the Boston Bruins moved back over .500 with a 2-1 victory over the punchless Buffalo Sabres.'
Lord, not another hot goaltender
He didn't face as many shots as his last outing in Buffalo (30 this time to 36 last time), but Bruins' goalie Byron Dafoe stood tall again when the Sabres threw everything at him.
Bruins are closer than they appear
'It's taken a while for the tactics of "Iron" Mike Keenan to settle into the Bruins, but they have slowly improved since replacing Pat Burns with Keenan. Although they are a .500 team with a 19-19-6-5 record for fourth in the Northeast Division, Boston has been hot lately, going 5-3-1-1 in its last 10 games.'
Sabres hoping to take new steps to success
'The Sabres are definitely pressing. They've scored twice in three games heading into tonight's matchup with the Boston Bruins at HSBC (7, Empire, Radio 107.7). They've netted two goals or fewer in six of their last eight games.'
Hasek eyes Olympic defence
'The hero of the Nagano Olympics, who led the Czech Republic to the gold medal via a 1-0 shootout win over Canada, has hinted at coming back to the Buffalo Sabres and defending his nation's title at the 2002 Olympics in Utah.'
No forward progress
'The biggest reason the Sabres are winning is because they are playing sound defense and getting production from four lines in a watered-down league.'
Leadership sufficient, Ruff says
'"I think we've got some great leadership in that room, and if I've got to put a letter on somebody's jersey to make our team better, we're really in a sad state."'
Sabres put Ruff in a straight Jacket
With two straight losses, a 4-5-2 record in the New Year and a 14-13-3-0 mark in their last 30 games, the Sabres find themselves caught in an Eastern Conference No Man's Land, teetering seven points from first place and now just seven points from ninth and a seed on the living room couch for the playoffs.
Tugnutt shines against lackluster Sabres
As he's been prone to doing recently in games against Buffalo, no matter what jersey colors he wears, veteran goalie Ron Tugnutt stuffed the Sabres on several close-in chances and really prevented any rebounds from landing at his doorstep with 22 saves.
Sabres' offense still invisible in loss
'At Monday's practice, Ruff pleaded with his players to give a better offensive effort. He also shuffled the lines and defensive pairings to find some long-lost spark. Despite a second-period lead on a goal by fourth-line center Erik Rasmussen and another fine goaltending effort from Dominik Hasek, the Sabres couldn't keep it together.'
Ray follows coach's orders
'Buffalo Sabres head coach Lindy Ruff has been requesting, demanding and pleading for two things from his team lately: passion and offensive production. He got both Tuesday night, in the form of Rob Ray.'
Jackets put on road show in Buffalo
'Geoff Sanderson and Jean-Luc Grand-Pierre made triumphant returns to a city they used to call home. Neither scored a point against his former teammates, but neither cared. Both played well, and a win is a win is a win.'
Game wrapup
'Serge Aubin, C, Blue Jackets: No empty-netters tonight, baby. Aubin tied the score with a wicked slap shot and redirected the go-ahead goal past Dominik Hasek. Not a bad night's work.'
Blue Jackets 2, Sabres 1
'"We should win 90 percent of these games and we need these points," Hasek said. "If we want to compete against teams like Toronto and Ottawa we can't waste any more games like that."'

Okay so it's not a Dire Straits song yet, but it's why I now need to send back the Moto Q I just picked up two days ago. The current Q only has IE for mobiles and doesn't support AJAX quite right (if at all). I tried downloading the Opera 9 browser and installing that on the Windows Mobile 5 OS on the Q, but it also doesn't seem to be working right. I'll try playing with it a little longer to see if I can get it to work.
So the Moto Q may have to go back while I wait for a version of the Moto Q q9 that runs on the CDMA network of Sprint's. Currently there's a GSM version called the q9h which will likely appear for GSM providers like AT&T/Cingular, etc. It also has a faster processor, a faster OS (Windows Mobile 6), a nicer 2Mpixel camera, and a micro-SD interface (rather than the harder-to-find-cards-for mini-SD interface). There are apparently some downsides like the loss of the scrollwheel, which I really like. There's a review on engadget and another on infoSync.
(source: engadget)
According to Motorola, the q9 is supposed to be released in this quarter (which ends in 3 weeks) but I have yet to see it for sale anywhere. Who knows when that CDMA version will appear, and I may be waiting for months. Who knows, perhaps Sprint will hold off for a WiMAX version of the q9, but that would mean a much longer wait for me. I'll keep my Moto Q for the next two weeks and see how it goes before my 30-day trial expires.

German; English
Tigerware Jug
Unknown artist, German; English, England; London
Tigerware Jug, 1579-1580
Stoneware with salt glaze (German) and gilded silver mounts (English)
24.1 x 15.2 x 14 cm (9 1/2 x 6 x 5 1/2 inches)
Museum Works of Art Fund 47.625
Tigerware is an English term for the mottled-brown glazed stoneware made along the Rhine in Germany. Unlike glass, a simple stoneware jug could be acquired quite cheaply and was the common drinking vessel in England in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. About the mid-sixteenth century, it became fashionable to mount elaborate metalwork handles, covers, and straps on the common stoneware jug. A London goldsmith who used the stamp —- I.C.—- gave this example a gilt silver cover and base. Heraldic shields with lion masks alternating with clusters of fruit decorate the sides and top, while a winged merman serves as the thumbpiece.

Awesome stuff!!!
That truly is amazing work.
You have to pleased with it !! 8)
That is sweet. It is a shame that it must be weathered.
Who is she? She's beautiful.

O.K. guys, I'ma give out one of my secret recipes...I'm feelin generous-cherish this one! I have had people fight to get this recipe! (The secret to this dish is to pull the birds out when you put the rice in so they don't dry out. )
You guys have NO IDEA how many people have wanted this recipe!!!
Teal Jambalaya
6 Whole plucked teal or 4 wood ducks (must have skin on)
2 lbs. cajun smoked sausage (use what you have-but make it a good quality smoked sausage)
salt and cracked pepper to taste
granulated garlic to taste
1/2 cup bacon fat (Do not substitute here )
1/4 cup real butter
4 extra large white onions chopped 1/2 " dice
1 cup celery sliced 1/8" dice
1 cup green onions tops thinly sliced (save white bottoms separate from green tops)
1/2 pod garlic minced
1/4 cup parsley chopped
1 lb. fresh button mushrooms sliced (or canned-I prefer fresh)
Hot sauce to taste
1/8 cup dark brown sugar
6 cups of long grain white rice (not minute rice!)
9 cups water
To cook:
(**pre-heat oven to 325 degrees when the ducks have about 40 minutes left to go before they are tender)
Coat outside of ducks with hot sauce, season ducks well inside and out with salt, pepper and granulated garlic then set aside.
In a large #12 dutch oven, heat bacon grease over medium-high heat. Add sausage and brown on all sides, remove to pan and keep warm. Add real butter to pot and let it melt. Add ducks to pot and brown well on all sides, add a little water every now and then to keep drippings from scorching. remove ducks to same pan sausage is in and keep warm. Lower fire to med., add onions, celery, green onion bottoms (whites portion) to the hot oil. Add 1/2 tsp. black pepper (the black pepper is important at this point for it to cook in and get a deep flavor) and cook until onions are slightly caramelized scraping the meat drippings from the bottom of the pot as it loosens-about 30 minutes. When onions are almost done, take a bottle of hot sauce and shake drops of hot sauce around the inside bottom of the pot along the sides-don't be stingy with it, this will add a nice color to the jambalaya when it browns. Add mushrooms, and stir in. Add meats and water to the pot (IMPORTANT: be sure to mark the water level on a spoon so when it comes time to add the rice you will have the correct ratio) add brown sugar and bring to a boil then reduce heat, cover and simmer until teal are tender and leg bone twists in socket...2-3 hours, however long it takes. When ducks are tender, check the seasoning (pepper should be a little strong and "drag" a little down the back of your throat. when you add the rice-it will suck up the pepper.), check the water level and add if necessary to bring back up to your mark on your spoon. Skim the grease off with a large spoon-get most of it but leave about 2 tbps. so the rice will be fluffy and not clump together. Remove whole ducks from pot to a pan and keep warm, leaving sausage in. Add parsley, green onions, IMPORTANT -3 tsps. salt and rice to pot. Fold in and cover. Oven should be hot- place pot in oven for 20 minutes, then pull out and gently fold rice and sausage in pot. Return to oven for 15 minutes. Then remove again, fold once more and return for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and the jambalaya should be perfect. squeeze one grain of rice and see if it is cooked through-if it's still hard in the center, cook another 10 minutes.
I like to leave the ducks whole and serve the whole duck with a side of the jambalaya-but you could debone the birds while the rice is cooking and add the meat on top of the rice for another 5 minutes in the oven to reheat the duck meat. This works and I have done this before...But it's easier just to serve the whole birds on the side. The key is not to put the duck in with the rice and bake it for an 45 minutes as it will dry out severely.

Re: Flare-guns and other alternatives (excluding guns) as weapons
Definety correct. Always check the rules for where you're headed. And even then that might not be enough. We've been from Clearwater,Fl to Panama. Most countries officials asked about firearms but did not look, one looked, and one said " I'm a sailor, we know you all have weapons onboard but you don't need them here, leave them on your boat if you please". But our equipement is used for food so it stays.

Re: Flare-guns and other alternatives (excluding guns) as weapons
If you really want a simple but effective "Low Tech" device you could employ the old sailing-ship man's weapon--a slung shot. This wonderfully simple thing was a lead weight on a piece of wire or strong cord about ten to twelve inches long, although some were a bit longer, with a handle or toggle on the other end. With a little practice one can withdraw it from a pocket in the palm of the hand, then whip it across an assailant's face where it will momentarily or permanently disturb them.
The cord can also be used as a garotte to complete the job, or you can then sort out the next knife-wielder, because you can reach him while you are out of his reach. A whack on the wrist will shatter bones, and the knife will drop.
You could make up one for each hand. They only take a few moments to make, and one need not carry them on to airplanes. If you do make up more than one, you will also discover that with a little practice you can throw them with surprising force and reasonable accuracy. For those who fondly imagine that intruders are just "friends we have not yet met" or impoverished fisher folk with poor toilet training, leave these close-quarter weapons alone. You will by nature probably lack the necessary determination to defend yourself, and these take some practice to learn to use swiftly. They are a surprise weapon primarily. Use them against pumpkins to begin with--at least you can make some nice soup out of the undamaged portions of the victims.

Re: Flare-guns and other alternatives (excluding guns) as weapons
I hate writing these things because I always think of things I should have said after I post. I like wasp spray because you can discharge a whole can of it in someones face,at a significant distance even into the wind. While I disagree with denverdon, it is not too much of a disagreement. As I remember a Super Soaker with ammonia is a ghetto weapon. I like the wasp spray because it is an innocuous spray can and can get thru any customs. "The wife is very allergic, we always carry it, see here is the EpiPen" What can they say?
The point I wanted to make is different. You can good vibe your way thru a whole series of confrontations. You should always try. Having a weapon that is not obviously a life threatening weapon is a good place to start. Smile and tell them they can't come aboard. Or they need to leave now and you will talk to them in their boat is a far better way to deal with a confrontation. These type of threads tend to spin off into way too much technology and not enough communication. Guess it's because we are guys.
Also, there is an old Texas beer hall trick. The guy is up front, loud and in your face. But he can be talked down. I'ts his girl that has the gun in her purse. She is going to end it if somebody doesn't calm down. On a boat, she is below, calling the cops. And who knows what she is going to come out with?
Having a plan is way better than not having a plan.

Re: Flare-guns and other alternatives (excluding guns) as weapons
Wasp spray is NOT a serious weapon. The notion that it is, is nothing more than an urban legend. I've been sprayed with wasp spray before, accidentally. It did not even come CLOSE to incapacitating me.
If you don't want to carry a gun, for whatever reason, my advice would be a squirt bottle full of amonia. To customs it is just a cleanser. Give someone a squirt of that in the face, though, and they are going to be in a world of hurt.
Some fishing sinkers in a sock can also work pretty well. Have that in one hand, and the amonia in the other, and I think you would be about as well armed as you are going to get, without opting for a real firearm.
Re: Flare-guns and other alternatives (excluding guns) as weapons
I agree. I don;t think the responses on this issue are very well thought out. For all the angst about having guns or sliding some kind of gun past customs, I sure would like to hear about some recent example where there is a country with significant crime and they still want to fine/sieze somebody's boat. After all Honduras has the world's highest per capita murder rate. And the rest of Central America, less Costa Rica are not that far behind. And then there is Mexico. I live in Austin, Tx. our hairdresser/barber who is a dual citizen, refuses to drive to Laredo, park her car on the American side, walk across the bridge and go to her doctor. Women disappear there. A lot.
And I am supposed to carry a plastic AK 47? Shoot somebody with a flare gun?
Part of the problem with this discussion is an inability to discuss magnitude of risk. In an isolated South Pacific island or maybe the Bahama's or Windward/ Leewards, if someone wanted to it would be hard to do a major crime. Everybody would know almost immediately. These places are so small and close knit.
So let me talk about petty theft, burglary and minor, poorly thought out hijackings or stick ups on the water. First, I can see why the local, mayor/chief/headman/cop doesn't want a bunch of jumpy first world yachties armed to fight Somali pirates. Might be best to have the firepower locked up. What could you do? For starters. lock stuff up. Hoist out your dink at night. Run a long cable from the motor, up the boat and and leave about 6 foot thru the front cleat. Tie up and lock up. Lock your door/hatch at night. I do it on land at night, why not make a solid screen door and use it? Come on, you lock your door in town.
There are some steps that seem obvious that I am not hearing in this thread. If the problem is a cat burgler or some kids out to unscrew a cleat or cut off some line, why not some form of alarm? One guy used tacks on deck. Better, how about rigging the top strand of your rail, which is your perimeter fence with a switch? Pull on the cable/rail and it turns on the spreader lights or trips an alarm. More serious but I still have not heard it would be an electric cattle fence. Doesn't have to be on or even deployed all the time. But sure will take the starch out of somebody real quick. And might make some US law enforcement types understand the phrases, "permission to come aboard?" or "do you have jurisdiction?".
Ok, what about a situation where you are not sure of someone's intentions? At least at night if someone has crawled aboard you can be sure they are up to no good. Is that guy an over agressive fish salesman or something worse? How can you say" don't come on my boat without saying I'm gonna kill you? " For starters, how about being real clear ? Be agressive" You, you don't have permission to come on my boat" " No Molestar!" Shine a light in their eyes. Turn on your spreader lights. It should solve the problem. If not you know something is up. You are justified to go to the next level in any country.
It seems that the big advantage you have against anyone in a small boat is simply height and the difficulty of clambering up. You did flip the ladder up, right? Don't give that advantage up. It seems to me that 2 obvious and "peaceful" weapons are wasp spray and a baseball bat. You do have a bat for fishing? Goes with the pole hook, the rum and the hacksaw. You keep these 2 in the cockpit. Someone tries to climb up you yell then tap them on the knuckles. They don;t get the idea, there is no upper limit as to how hard you can hit. But maybe you don't want/can't get physical? Wasp spray is a serious weapon. There is an awful lot in a can and it goes out 20 feet. Even with wrap around sunglasses, which is why the bad boys wear them, you can;t win. Being hosed with toxic, stinging spray in they eyes, stops anyone. You can't see, you can't fight.
Even if someone pulls a gun in a small boat, you still have height. You can back up to be a smaller or nonexistant target. You can hose them over the edge. And shout for someone to bring the gun. Even if you don;t have one.
I really haven't been impressed with most of the other solutions that I have seen in these posts. Maybe a spear or sword against one person. Be careful they don't take it away from you. There seems to be lots of macho posturing on threads like this. How many of these people have been in a real serious situation? Things happen fast. Most criminals are opportunists, they go for the easy stuff. Can't tell you how many situations I have avoided by looking the guy in the eye, smiling and saying Hi. Same for boats, stay out of harms way and have a real solution that is ready right now.
I guess I should go on into real shoot em up situations. They exist. Kidnapping is a big problem in Latin America. I worry that the locals will figure out how to take boats. A couple of guys in a dinghy is one thing, a whole boat load of guys in a fishing boat is entirely different. I read one comment from a former Brit SAS, that's Special Forces! He said that he doubted that he could hit anyone at 100 yards with a rifle. Make that 50 yards for an experienced deer hunter. Never handled a gun? Ten yards is more like it with both boats rocking.
The classic solution is a blunderbuss. Or in modern parlance, a pump shotgun. Which gets me to a question. Who wants to surrender your gun at your first port of call? That means you have to go back there to leave the country. You don't need one in the Med. Or the South Pacific, or the Windward/Leewards. Might be real nice in Indonesia, or the Phillipines or going south thru the Suez canal. My question is, can you get Fed Ex to ship your gun, under bond, to a specific port? Just Asking.
Sorry for the long post. And frankly, I have cut this down too much.

Thanks for the answers!
I do think we could put a small heater with him- but it kinda worries me to leave them unattended. Maybe that is just me being paranoid?
I was definitely thinking that the house needed to be a smaller size to use his body heat efficiently. So IF he gets here, the first goal will be to figure out a warm doghouse.
I'm not sure about adding extra fat to his diet; it's a real struggle to get him food period, so he's surviving on whatever my dad's cook can whip up for him. That was a major concern when my dad first got him, but he seems to have done great on whatever it is that he's been feeding him.
Finally, we live in piedmont NC! It really isn't that cold during the winter, and the garage stays much cooler than outside during the summer. We're going to have to reevaluate his living situation at that point to make sure he's still comfortable.
And to anybody who is curious about how we're getting a dog from Africa: my dad is an expat and has been reassigned to Afghanistan. He doesn't feel that it would be safe to take his dog with him.
I imagine that with some extra fat in his diet, an insulate dog house and some cedar shavings or straw to bed down in he could be just fine..I think for a dog house you want something the dog will curl up in - does not need to be as big as a crate because he can get out and stretch. Can you start getting a little extra fat on him now? Are you in the NC mountains? Most of NC is pretty temperate.
My working dog is outside in upstate SC (NW corner) during the day and does quite fine -- figure we have had a hot summer here so they dont have much time to build a nice thick winter coat either ..... just don't keep the house overly warm so he has to go back and forth too much from one temp extreme to the other (I keep mine in the mid to upper 60s in the winter). The concrete floor is cold though so some places not in the dog house for him to lay would be good. Always plenty of water. In summer the set up may be way too hot. Heat is more an issue in the carolinas than cold.
|Put a dog house in the kennel. He will be fine. 25 degrees is not very cold, and he will be inside at night when you reach the lows. Most GSDs prefer things to be a little cooler. If you put straw or blankets in the house, he will probably drag it out.
|Until he can adjust to his new climate, can you add a heat source to the garage? If he will be in a kennel, maybe you can use a stand alone or wall mounted heater elsewhere in the garage. Just something to keep it a little warmer when the temps drop.
GS Day Housing- new member coming from Africa
Hey everybody!
My husband and I may have the opportunity to add a 10 month old GS to our lives.
We currently have two dogs who roam freely in our tiny house during the day.
I had a GS growing up, and given the fact that she ate everything in sight when she was younger, I seriously doubt that it would ever be a good idea to leave our potential new puppy alone in the house.
We have a lot of space in our garage since we never actually park our cars in there, so I was thinking that we could put up a kennel for this guy to stay in during the day while we're gone. He'd have potty breaks and play breaks at lunch so I'm really not worried about him being in a kennel in general, but I'm concerned with him being cold during the day. We live in NC and at the coldest it is about 25 degrees outside during the day. If we set up a dog house with blankets and good insulation, would this be too cold for him? Does anybody have suggestions for dog houses? He would sleep inside with us at night.
I'm also concerned that he won't have developed a thick enough coat. He'd be coming from Africa (don't worry, it isn't a scam!) and it never gets as cold in Ethiopia as it does here. Is he going to freeze this winter? What could we do for him?

While concrete is the most utilized building material in the world, what do you think is number two? Some might suggest wood. Others, especially business executives from the United States and Canada, might suggest brick or masonry block. But after visiting bauma in Germany in April, I realize that there are many materials with which to build a structure.
One item that caught my attention was the European material called calcium silicate, commonly called sand-lime block. At first glance, it's difficult to distinguish these units from our familiar concrete block. Sand-lime blocks are very similar in size and shape to the standard gray block used in the United States.
But on closer examination, I discovered sand-lime block has some superior qualities compared to standard grays. The units can be produced to very tight dimensional tolerances. Their facings show a very consistent grain. And the process is versatile, as the material can be cast as either hollow or solid units for structural applications or facades. And sand-lime blocks have one key advantage over concrete blocks. Lacking any soluble salts, they don't suffer from efflorescence.
Calcium silicate units are made from a mixture of sand, lime, and water. Properly mixed, the mortar is pressed into molds using high-speed rotary presses. The green units then are conveyed into an autoclave where they are pressure-heated until cured. The same mold presses can form units ranging from the size of face brick to large blocks. Most plants are very automated with production rates very high, thus requiring fewer employees.
Convincing producers
This white block has been a tough sell to producers, says Mike Gill, president of Lasco Engineering of Detroit. His firm represents one of Europe's largest sand-lime block machine manufacturers in the United States. Producers are skeptical of the process, especially when they learn of the autoclave. "I try to explain that the autoclave is nothing more than an advanced curing system, but there's still some reluctance to invest in the technology," he says.
But Gill cites three reasons why there has been renewed interest in sand-lime production outside of Europe. First, the turnkey plants that have recently been introduced in Europe are very labor efficient and easy to operate. Second, many newer plants in Europe have successfully incorporated a large percentage of fly ash into the mix recipes, radically reducing unit costs. Third, many producers find the exacting production process effective in casting architectural quality units that can earn high sales prices.
Sand-lime units aren't exactly unknown in North America. There are a few producers casting product that conform to the ASTM C 73-05 Standard Specification for Calcium Silicate Brick (sand-lime brick), usually as cast stone elements.
One producer who many recognize as the leader in domestic sand-lime production is Arriscraft. Headquartered at Cambridge, Ontario, Arriscraft operates two plants in Canada and one in Fort Valley, Ga. Due to an increase in demand for architectural elements for residential construction, the producer recently announced it will add a second production line toward the end of the year.

I use the 100 gr. powerball for defensive ammo when I carry the 92FS CCW. The ballistics are 1475 FPS/ 483 FTLBS. That's pretty impressive for a 9mm when a .45ACP 230 gr. FMJ, the standard for defensive weapons is 890 FPS/ 404 FTLBS. I use Dakota often and they are responsive and capable. There will always be arguments about the 230 gr. delivers a much harder punch for the energy delivered due to size and weight.
The only shooting I was ever involved in as a narcotics investigator was using a Browning Hi-Power with +P Winchester Silvertips and the round was very effective over 25 years ago. Take a look at Speer Gold Dot as well as Federal Hydrashok, both are excellent alternatives and effective defensive rounds.
Remember, you are the weapon, the handgun is a tool. Shoot well and often, make the weapon you partner. Everything should be practiced and automatic so that you can do what you need to do in total darkness under stress of an intruder.

Time and Place
1972, Peking, China
Chou En-Lai, a small group of officials, and contingents of China's military forces are on hand to greet the arrival of President Nixon, the First Lady, and Secretary of State Henry Kissinger at an airfield outside Beijing. Elated, the President pauses to reflect on the historical significance of this encounter, which is being televised worldwide. He meets with Chairman Mao, who speaks largely in parables and veiled references. The President and Mrs. Nixon attend a banquet held in their honor; Premier Chou offers a toast to patriotic fraternity, the first of several throughout the evening. Mrs. Nixon tours a glass factory, a collective farm, and the Summer Palace. The Nixons attend an opera, The Red Detachment of Women, created by Mao's wife, Chiang Ch'ing. The plight of the heroine, a downtrodden peasant girl, draws them into the action. Sensing that the Nixons have missed the ideological message of her opera, Chiang Ch'ing gives voice to her revolutionary fervor. During the last evening of the Presidential visit, the Nixons, Chairman Mao and Chiang Ch'ing, and Premier Chou reminisce privately about their lives.

Wii? Maybe U... But I'm Not Sold Yet
Nintendo announced its long-awaited Wii successor at E3, called "Wii U", and so far, its reception has been mixed. While some are calling it the best thing since sliced bread, others are underwhelmed, finding it to be a minor evolution over the original. Whatever your thoughts, one thing does remain clear: we need better games.
Read through Brett's editorial explaining where the Wii U needs to improve and then discuss it here!

Brett drives home some very fair points, ones which most of us (in IRC anyway) agree with. Why buy the latest FPS or AAA title for the Wii or WiiU when we can get a perfectly good or even better experience on the more tradition consoles.
I think it's a cultural problem with the publishers. PC gamers are being seriously disheartened by Console ports, and developers/publishers are not playing to the strengths of the PC gaming market (customization and modding, not just graphics or KB/Mouse controls), if anything, they try and remove/prohibit the very features that made PC games popular.
With the Wii, there are precious few third party games that actually take advantage of the social elements of the console. The Wii is targeted more at families and social events, so single player frag fests aren't going to go down a treat... but publishers blindly throw development time and money at it, porting console controls and GUIs to a console that shouldn't even handle them.
But then it can be argued, when was the last real hit for an original franchise, not just the same formula in a new shell/name. The Wii introduced a new experience, the WiiU could too, but it'll never shine if it's just Nintendo doing all the work.

EDIT: Also games like FONV have so much more content because of the MODS that allow it to live well past the $50 value. This is another point that makes it so hard for me to jump on the console bandwagon because they don't allow such content. They nickle and dime with map packs and micro expansions, all the while giving much less value per dollar then what we paid for the initial game.
Edit after reading the article:
There is another point that I think that Brett didn't hit on and that is that Nintendo has been pushing it's classic collection updates quite a bit on the Wii and even they were falling short. The only games I really played on it were the classics on the emulated snes and nintendo with my kids and they liked those over most of the other games, except for bowling and baseball. We tried to play the board games from Hasbro on it but it was more enjoyable to do those at the table.
It is true to your point that Nintendo was putting out some great titles but only a few and that wasn't pushing the consoles forward. It's not because the gamers didn't get it, it is because the 3rd party dev's didn't get it and the perfect example of this is the latest Metroid game. The biggest flaw was only being able to fire was in FPS mode? I question if they even played this game with a standard Wii control setup. Just to help prove the point Tharic-Nar. (c;
There is room to truly innovate with this console however I can see this being a party piece or novelty like Brett and Tharic-Nar say, but the 3rd party support will have to change for the Wii U to realize this and change Nintendo's position from back shelf to front shelf.

Meh. I'm not excited. I saw the "amazing graphics revamp" for it and it's STILL sub-par to the PS3 and 360's mid-range graphics capabilities.

Well things are getting worse on the Nintendo front. I just found out that the Wii U is only going to support 1 tablet controller. This is going to limit the options for making games like clue, strategy or etc where a player could hide specific information or pieces. This to me just made this console fail.

The most console-like problem in Crysis 2 is the reflections on the buildings... what's being reflected never matches up with what's actually behind you. This was noticeable to me because buildings like these are all over the place, so they're impossible to ignore. Small problem, yes, but after seeing how Crysis pushed the boundaries of graphics on the PC, Crysis 2 being little more than a console port was as Jamie worded, disheartening.
Past mods, take Borderlands for example... an epic game if there ever was one. I am not sure if it was built for the consoles first and then the PC or not, but it sure doesn't feel like it. It -feels- like a PC game, and I couldn't imagine playing it on a console. Plus, there has been so much content released for it that even if you ended up paying full-price ($90), you still likely found it worth your money. After all, a game like Mafia II is 10 hours... Borderlands? I am nearly at 130 and I know others who have played it for double that and more.
The Wii needs games like THAT, that play to its strengths and make people want to play over and over. I agree with Brett wholeheartedly in the article, though I admit I have never been much of a Wii fan. I purchased the console within a week of its release, gamed it up with Zelda and Mario, and after that I didn't touch it again. I quite literally haven't touched it in about three years.
I ended up going so long without playing it that I lent the console to a family member. What game? Wii Fit ;-) Hey, at least it's a "game" that's designed FOR the Wii, not ported over to it!
The problem with me and the Wii was threefold though. First, few games interested me. Two, the focus on motion got to me... I didn't -want- it, and in most games there was no option to -not- use it, even in parts where you know that it isn't needed. Three, the resolution. I am 100% fine with the graphics, because I am a true believer that graphics don't make a game, but being forced to use 480p on a 1080p-capable display is a little ridiculous. I seem to be one of the few whiners there, though.
Like Brett and others have said, the Wii / Wii U -needs- better games. What should they be? I don't know... it's not my job to figure that out. Just please stop shipping games better-suited for -other- consoles and put them on the Wii. It kind of reminds me of back when we transitioned from the PSone to PS2. There were -some- games that were available on both, and on the original, it really felt like it shouldn't have been tried, because the overall effect is muchless (Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3, as one example).
As a side note, I downloaded inFAMOUS the other night on the PS3, which was released in 2009. The graphics limitations really began to show from the very first level... and here we are getting a Wii U in 2012 with graphics less than -that-. Also, it's a little interesting to note that Microsoft announced Halo 4 to be released late next year. At that point, the Xbox 360 will have been seven-years-old. I think the last time we saw a console endure so long was with the SNES!

I don't know why you guys are saying that the Wii U will be less powerful than the 360 and PS3. We know that it will be powerful enough to output in 1080p, which most current 360/PS3 games don't do, and the current rumors are that the graphics will be powered by a chip very similar to the R770 in the Radeon HD 4800 series. Of course that's not even close to top of the line in PC hardware terms, but it's a lot more powerful than the GPUs in the Xbox 360 and PS3.
The Wii U will be more than capable of handling 360/PS3 ports, but as for how long that will be relevant, we'll just have to wait and see. The next gen systems from Sony and Microsoft will certainly be more powerful than the Wii U, but if they wait too long to release them Wii U could have enough of an installed base already for it not to matter.

I'm not sure the issue is "power" as much as graphics quality. It's a simple matter to upscale Nintendo Wii titles to 1080p, but just as with upscaling a DVD movie, doing so isn't going to increase the quality nor add new detail. From a purely graphics perspective, outputting most Nintendo Wii games at 1080p won't look as good as say, Crysis 2 would at 1080p on the 360 or PS3. Brett says as much himself in his article.
Given the design of most Wii games I don't think "power" is the right question. I'd wonder instead about how or even when Nintendo will start focusing on graphics again. I think it's quite possible they might choose to keep the current graphics "theme" going for quite some time.

BTW ALL empty comb in the bottom deep. Do you folks reckon the new queen will move down into the lower deep and fill it with brood? I am really confused if my queen is still alive (and she seems to be because of the uncapped larvae) why she wouldn't move into the lower deep?
Bees build comb TOP to BOTTOM, they feed BOTTOM to TOP. As a standard practice in Spring (bottom hive bodies are 'usually' void of bees as they move up to feed) I remove those empty hive bodies upon the first inspection. Depending on the strength and size of the colony AND the amount of remaining stores, I'll either leave it off until bees build up or will place it 'above' the broodnest, if queen is actively laying. This should never be done 'if' there is more winter ahead as it can effectively separate bees from any feed (sugar or honey) that is above.Your description of mostly 'drone brood' indicates queen failure and/or possible laying worker IMO…..

So to motivate you I made this design, which smiles encouragingly at you and says "Way to go!" (metaphorically, as words were not permitted). You'll feel accomplished wearing this shirt.

Duck with Harvest Medley RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
- 4 cups water
- 2 cups pearl onions
- 2 cups balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 cup dried cherries
- 6 duck breasts with skin (5 ounces each)
- 1 tablespoon thinly sliced fresh sage leaves
- 2-1/2 teaspoons salt, divided
- 1 teaspoon pepper, divided
- 4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup white wine or additional chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/3 cup chopped pecans, optional
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
- In a large saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add pearl onions; boil for 3 minutes. Drain and rinse in cold water; peel and set aside.
- In another large saucepan, bring the vinegar, syrup and brown sugar to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, 15 minutes or until liquid is nearly reduced by half. Add cherries; simmer 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat; set aside.
- Preheat oven to 375°. Cut a pocket in each duck breast. Stuff with sage; sprinkle with 1-1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Place skin side down in a large skillet. Cook over medium-low heat 10-12 minutes or until most of the duck fat has melted. Turn; cook 2-3 minutes or until lightly browned. Reserve drippings.
- Transfer duck to a 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Bake, uncovered, 15-22 minutes or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium, a thermometer should read 165°; well-done, 180°).
- In duck drippings, saute sweet potatoes and pearl onions 6-8 minutes or until lightly browned. Stir in broth, wine, cumin, and remaining salt and pepper. Cook 3-5 minute or until potatoes are tender. Stir in pecans if desired. Serve with duck and cherry sauce. Garnish with parsley. Yield: 6 servings.
