I picked up a 4'x 8' sheet of sintra last night (I've a pretty nice hook-up on it) and will very soon start my first set of Boba Fett armor.
What are some things that can help in the shaping of it?
Are there any common household items that help with giving a desired shape, or is it touch and go?
How curved is the armor? Is there a standard, or is it more or less to fit?
I will probably be 'playing' with the material for the next couple of days, as it is something new to me.
Thanks for any suggestions.
EDIT: I found the answers to some of these through the search (sorry, still learning my way around here). I'm still curious about my third question though.

Thomas Vermaelen believes the competition for places at centre-back is encouraging for Arsenal.
The Belgian international has played his part in the past month after returning from injury in the Carling Cup win over Bolton in October.
Since his comeback, Vermaelen has featured with both Laurent Koscielny and Per Mertesacker at the back - and he says hunger for places is healthy for boss Arsène Wenger.
"The boss has a lot of choices at the moment, and all of the centre-backs are fit which helps too," he told the Official Matchday Programme.
"There's a lot of competition and that can only be good for the team.
"It's good to be able to rest players when they need it, so I don't think it's a problem if we have to rotate because we train together all the time.
"We know each other's qualities, so it doesn't matter who plays on the day."
Vermaelen joined the Club from Ajax in July 2009, and has since made 60 appearances for Arsenal. The 26-year-old admits he has become much wiser during his two years at Emirates Stadium.
"I must say that in the last few years here at Arsenal I have learnt a lot about good positioning," he said.
"I've also learnt a lot about organisation and talking to the players in front of you, because if you can help them know where they should be as well, it makes your job easier too.
"I think that's what you learn when you get older."

The Boba Fett ESB Promotional costumes are several costumes that are often referred to as Sandy costumes or tour costumes.
In addition to the costumes created to be seen on screen, three of the Boba Fett costumes were finished by Sandy Dhuyvetter's Daydream Productions and primary used for a series of tours throughout the US, Canada and the UK to promote the Empire Strikes Back. These costumes are a bit of a mish-mash of parts with armor plates and helmets being randomly combined from other costumes and between each other. These costumes are primarily defined by their chest armor which are designated 'promotional armor' 1-3.
This photo depicts Promotional Armor 2 as it exists roughly around 2010-2011. These photos were taken for the supplementary discs which accompany the Blue-ray release of Star Wars.

Alzheimer's still has no cure, but two different types of drugs can help manage symptoms of the disease.
Alzheimer's disease is a daunting diagnosis. But working closely with your health care team to find the best strategies to manage your symptoms can help you cope and make life better.
Alzheimer's drugs offer one strategy to help manage memory loss, thinking and reasoning problems, and day-to-day function. Unfortunately, Alzheimer's drugs don't work for everyone, and they can't cure the disease or stop its progression. Over time, their effects wear off.
Research into more-effective Alzheimer's drugs is ongoing. But even if researchers discover better drugs, it will always be important to build a health care team that helps you explore all your treatment options. That may involve taking medication, tapping into your support network, and accessing community resources and services.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved two types of drugs specifically to treat symptoms of Alzheimer's disease.
These drugs:
Are approved for specific Alzheimer's stages. These stages — mild, moderate and severe — are based on scores on mental-function tests that assess memory, awareness of time and place, and thinking and reasoning.
Doctors may, however, prescribe Alzheimer's drugs for stages other than those for which the FDA has approved them. Doctors do this because Alzheimer's stages are not exact, individual responses to drugs may vary, and current treatment options are limited.
If your doctor prescribes medication as part of your Alzheimer's care plan, make sure you understand the drug's potential benefits and risks for your situation.
Are not approved for mild cognitive impairment (MCI). This condition, which involves subtle changes in memory and thinking, may sometimes be a transitional stage between normal age-related memory changes and Alzheimer's disease. Many people with MCI — but not all — eventually develop Alzheimer's.
Clinical trials testing whether Alzheimer's drugs might prevent progression of MCI to Alzheimer's have generally shown no lasting benefit. However, some prescribers do elect to try cholinesterase inhibitors in the MCI stage.
One way Alzheimer's harms the brain is by decreasing levels of acetylcholine, a chemical messenger that's important for alertness, memory, thought and judgment. Cholinesterase (ko-lin-ES-tur-ays) inhibitors are a type of drug that boosts the amount of acetylcholine available to nerve cells by preventing its breakdown in the brain.
Cholinesterase inhibitors can't reverse Alzheimer's disease, and they don't stop the underlying destruction of nerve cells. Because dwindling brain cells produce less acetylcholine as the disease progresses, these medications eventually lose effectiveness.
There are three FDA-approved cholinesterase inhibitors. In clinical studies, all cholinesterase inhibitors, on average, work about equally well. But in individuals, one cholinesterase inhibitor may work better or produce fewer side effects than does another.
Common side effects can include nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Starting treatment at a low dose and working up to a higher dose can help reduce side effects. Taking these medications with food also may help minimize side effects.
Three cholinesterase inhibitors are commonly prescribed:
Memantine (Namenda) is approved by the FDA for treatment of moderate to severe Alzheimer's disease. It works by regulating the activity of glutamate, a messenger chemical widely involved in brain functions — including learning and memory. It's taken as a pill or syrup. Common side effects include dizziness, headache, confusion and agitation.
Since memantine's original approval for moderate to severe Alzheimer's, researchers have conducted additional studies to determine whether memantine might also help in earlier stages. But none of this additional work shows that memantine has any benefit for mild Alzheimer's disease.
Because Alzheimer's is a progressive disease, your symptoms and care plan will change over time. If you're taking an Alzheimer's drug, ongoing review of your care plan will include working with your doctor to decide how long you should continue your medication.
It may be difficult to tell if Alzheimer's drugs are helping, because their effect is usually modest. On the other hand, it's hard to know how severe your symptoms might be without your medication.
If you stop taking an Alzheimer's drug and experience a sharp decline in your condition, contact your doctor. He or she may advise restarting the medication.

I am looking for a career change (at the moment i work in IT Support)
my wife is japanese and in 10 years (when I am 55) i will go and live there
I have a degree in English lit. however i have a large mortgage and cannot start taking 3 months , or whatever length of time off work. i am sure this is not neccesary. I met some english teachers out in Okayama who were really nice guys, but seemed to think I would have to leave my job to pursue this path.......I dont think i do....other people must face the same issue...its not unusual to have a full time job and study.....i am happy to pay for it...
is there a way around it?
Also what sort of money can i expect to earn?
i saw some vacancies in schools out there which were paying around 1k a month, which seems to me to be a pittance. is there much private work around? I was told (by my wife) that i can earn around £40 an hour teaching private as this is what she used to charge for teaching.
I have taught IT in schools before with no qualification to the 6th form.
many thanks in advance.

He has a very active shooting arm, I'll give him that.
Just mentioning Griffin in the same sentence as a Pistons PF actually makes me drewl. I wonder what a this guy could do to this team with his spirit. Edit; The real Griffin this time.
He probably would've received a DNP-CD against NJ so Maxiell can get his minutes.
In the words of CJ - you are a good person.
Chat is open!!!! http://www.pistonsforum.com/playoff-chat/
"Wow... wow" - Greg Kelser
Just looking at the numbers...not baaaaaad. Just surrendered too many free throws.
no D, outrebounded horribly, relied heavily on hot BG and Stuckey and rip is an odd man out. if this policy continiues - try to win via high octane games - then this season will be veeery veeery long.
Great comeback by the Pistons, but once again...a losing team will lose these type of games.... Nice game by Bengo with 32 pts and what looked like his only and game winning assist... Another so-so defensive effort by CV who was the hero for about 30 seconds...and had the Budweiser play of the game and would have certainly got a 3 second ESPN highlight shout out in between the Miami hype... Jeff Green gets literally all the way to the hoop for a long layup as Max could not stop him....(I hope we didn't have a foul to give that got wasted) Looks like we need to go back to the drawing board on the Daye the 4 experiment ....start Monroe and then Bring in Daye off the bench....he might be trying to hard starting. (2-11 shooting)..
We have no choice to play that way. Without JJ, the only halfway decent interior defender is Ben Wallace. Maxiell is a journeyman player in this league. Daye's length gives him a chance to impact defensively in the paint - but he's not strong enough or experienced enough yet to be counted on. If we had JJ on that play, Green doesn't score. In the meantime, we're going to have to enjoy watching Stuckey (who's playing great BB - man he looks good out there), Gordon's popcorn jumper and great great offensive talent, CV knocking down shots, Daye (who's going to be an excellent player), and wait for JJ to get back and Monroe to get in there and Joe D to make a trade for a big man so we have a freaking chance to rebound on any particular play.
This team had a lot of problems tonight, a lot stemming from Daye starting at power forward. There is simply no reason for this, and it should end as soon as possible. Already, you can see signs of Tay's play and Daye's play deteriorating - as expected from playing out of position. Still, we managed to make a game of this one. Man did I want to see this in the win column. Gordon knocked down 31 points, in 31 minutes, at one point late in the game. Stuckey was relentless going inside, and yes, at least once he had his head down and was going to go inside at any cost. But he also dished a bunch of assists this game. Love to see learning. And those drives almost always lead to a score for us, lots of that spectacular looking by Stuckey. Speaking of learning, we almost won this one down the stretch. By simply not going to small ball. Much better. Just possibly, a sign of learning by Kuester. Now, if can just notice that Daye is no power forward. We did a use a bit of small ball in the game. Not a whole lot. We did not do bad out there with Rip, Stuck, and Gordon out there. Was not pretty either, but we scored enough to make it work. And we only used this gimmick for a short spell - and certainly not in crunch time. TMAC played in the 1st half only, and we did well with him basically playing as our point guard. I know they are really watching his minutes. We had a lot of turns tonight, and basically, without all those turns and the points the Thunder got from them, very good chance we win this one. Of note, it did not seem to matter if Stuckey was in the game or not as far as how good we did. Ball handling or otherwise. TMAC still has not scored a point for us this season, but already you can see how valuable he could be. I sure hope he does come back 100% this season. That would be awesome. Stuckey truly put on a show. He proved he could hit his outside shots, and blew by Westbrook at will when Westbrook came out to check him. Gordon had a nice mixture of outside shots and going inside. I do like his offensive game a lot, and he creates his own shots. More learning. Rip did not play down the stretch. They went with the hot hands, Gordo and Stuck, and stayed big - Tay, CV, JMAX. CV was almost the hero. So close. Darn. With no timeouts, I guess they could not get Gordon off the floor for that last defensive play. We stopped what they wanted to do, but darn, the guy hit a nice shot on us. (Greene sp) I saw no sign JMAX was hobbled any tonight. That's good. Kuester is using him the right minutes. And he is not overplaying Ben Wallace either. To the bad, still not a moment this season of Daye playing any shooting guard nor small forward where he can use all that height to his advantage. I know some people really like Bynum, but hey, although his footwork is better than Gordon's by far, he is a lot shorter. Height does matter too as far as NBA defense. And look at how Gordon can score. Trying to fit all four of Gordon, Stuck, Rip, and Bynum with major minutes just means a lot of small ball. Drop Bynum right out of the rotation, and add in some of Monroe playing. Give some minutes to Daye at shooting guard and small forward - and no more small ball non-sense. Got to feel good about even being this close in the game vs. the Thunder, a top NBA team by all accounts. Until toward the very end, this team hit free throw after free throw seemingly without a miss. By going to a logical rotation, with no small ball, this team can learn to play together - and reduce the turns. Yes, we only had 6 the first game - against a very poor team. Look, we should have beaten NJ, and if Kuester had enough sense to make the changes he did tonight, that would have been a win. And tonight, again, we could have had a win by not using small ball at all - including starting Daye at PF. Kuester is just not coaching quite a good enough game to actually get a win. But just maybe, he will continue learning. Rip did fine for the game. Again, Tay looked beat already this early in the season. Daye missed a bunch of shots before finally making a couple of 3's in the 2nd half. Ben was his usual rebound machine self. CV, in comparison to Gordon, does not look that bad on defense. Which is not saying much. At least he is hitting those 3's early in the season so far. JMAX mostly just played the D. I think I mentioned everyone. Summers did make a cameo appearance in this one, leaving Monroe as the only DNP.
2 games in a row it looked like we hit a 3 point dagger to ice the game... but weak D lost them both. To be honest, CV does look like a better athlete this year. Thinner, a little quicker, and more definition in the arms. Great to see the vintage Ben Gordon. This is the guy Joe was after. I'm really not happy that we can't see our big man draft pick play... again. Let's see how bad he is first. We have a huge gaping hole in our rotation at his position and he's not good enough to fill it?
Not Tonight Daye at the PF spot is effecting his game on the offensive end, his shot is off and his (fragile) confidence is shaken. But I must admit there are some good things happening: Defensively Daye at the PF hasn't been completely awful. AD and CV at the PF spots are opening up tons of driving space for the guards, the floor spacing is great and the lane is often left WIDE OPEN!! But teams are killing us when they put him and CV in the pick and roll, both are utterly horrible at defending it. Charlie Villanueva wasn't awful tonight, real good 1st half and he really came through in the clutch, the three was nice but I was more impressed with the 2 FT's he hit late after taking a good whacking across the face. Rodney Stuckey played an AMAZING GAME!!!! Maybe the best of his career, I'm still in shock. His offensive efficiency was off the charts, he had 9 asts (thanks to a hot shooting Ben Gordon) and he made some excellent decisions tonight, he only had about 2 or 3 plays that made me yell at the TV, I'm practically crying tears of joy. Hopefully this can continue and I'll be more than happy to fire up the grill for some BBQ'd Crow. Rip was a turnover machine but I credit Q for benching him and going with Gordo, Ben Gordon was LIGHTS OUT fantastic, simply an amazing offensive performance. Tay and Rip made Durant get his 30 on 9/24 shooting, but OKC is a team that lives at the FT line. Q coached a decent game tonight, he had one mistake IMO, late in the game after CV hit those 2 ft's, I felt he should have subbed BenW for CV, he didn't, and sure enough on that defensive possession Ibaka got an offensive rebound because CV was ball watching instead of boxing out his man, Ben would have got that rebound! But then OKC probably would have fouled him anyway......
For real. Has Que commented on this at all, or is he maybe injured and no one is talking about it? I haven't watched any postgame shows so I haven't seen any coach interviews.
Who's minutes are you going to take? Wallace's or Maxiel's? He doesn't deserve to get any of Max's minutes, he can't defend far enough out from the hoop to play the PF spot, and he's too weak to bang like Ben and Max are doing. I want to see him play too, but HE-JUST-ISN'T-GOOD-ENOUGH ........................................................ right now, he'll get there, if we're lucky he'll acclimate himself through the course of the season. We could very easily be 2-0 right now, contrary to popular belief this team does not suck. In all honesty if Max and/or Ben were 2-3 inches taller we'd be a real force.
The game highlighted the Pistons lack of quality bigs. We finish the game with 37 year old Ben and short JMax. Neither would get quality minutes on most NBA teams. The Pistons simply are outmanned every night under the basket. No big body to clog up the middle. No tall player to snatch key rebounds. It was glaring. The trades for Gordon and even CV were not the problem. CV needs to work off of a big center. He is what he is and that three is what he can do. The Pistons deteriorated rapidly as Sheed aged, Ben was gone and now old. Rip, especially, and Tay would be better suited in a trade. Rip does not fit well in the offense and is a redundant player. Stuckey is indeed getting better. Stuckey, Gordon and CV would light it up playing off a center most nights. I don't think the team missed Bynum who should only be a situational player. JJ was really missed. The team need bigs desperately. No quality big and the wins will be hard to get. No, I don't give the Thunder much credit. They were vastly overrated last year. They are a middle of the road team, I imagine. Green would not have been able to drive to the hoop like that against most NBA teams. He would have been stuffed.
Brap, it is striking how limited our big play is. Jmax and Ben can't shoot, can't free throw, and only Ben can be counted on to secure a board but he is long past his prime. No JJ. Right, with JJ the Pistons win both games. The NBA is brutal. If you don't have a big man in the middle most teams will just bully you. I mean really, Green would have gotten nothing against most teams. Too bad. Gordon showed his real hand. CV playing with a real center is actually a weapon. And even Stuckey looks like a problem for teams to handle.
Oh I almost forgot the best part, in the post game player interviews Eli says to Stuckey, "Westbrook tonight, you gotta get readY for Derrick Rose tomorrow, you don't get a night off do you" Stuckey replies, "Naw I don't, but that's why I love this game," and here's the best part - he then says, "But they gotta get ready for me too!" YES YES YES, He may just be getting it!!!! Also Bengo said he took it upon himself to be more aggressive tonight and that that's how he's going to have to start playing night in and night out. I think Bengo and Stuckey are taking the proverbial torch from Rip and Tayshaun.
I don't care who's minutes. Give him Ben's, Daye's, Maxiell's, Prince's. It doesn't matter. If he's not good enough to play at all for one of the bottom 10 teams in the NBA... and a team without an offensive big man, then he was a bad pick. If he's temporarily bad and just needs time to ripen, then stick him in there and let him start learning. It's not like he's going to cost us a playoff spot and a shot at a championship. And I understand that it's entirely possible that he'd look terrible on the court right now.

Michael Haneke: Filmmaker of Bad Faith January 6, 2010: This past weekend I saw Austrian director Michael Haneke's newest film, The White Ribbon. Seeing any film by Haneke I go to it with a mild feeling of dread. His films are hard to watch; they often [...]

Windham man dressed for success in NYC
By APRIL GUILMET
Sunday News Correspondent | January 25. 2014 1:54AM
Mikael Priestley, a Windham resident and 2010 graduate of Salem High School, is a fashion student in Manhattan and an intern at a prestigious luxury goods company. (COURTESY)
Priestley, a senior fashion merchandising major at LIM College in New York City, has gathered an impressive resume in several short years living in the city.
"By then I had a good understanding of my goals," he said during a phone interview. "I knew I wanted to explore my creativity while studying business and the fashion industry has constant movement."
"It was a great fit for me," Priestley said. "Coming to New York was the smartest decision I could have made, as I hope to stay here after graduating this May."
A three-month stint as an operations and logistics intern with von Furstenberg in 2012 left Priestley particularly star-struck.
On one occasion, Priestley said, von Furstenberg brought him upstairs to share the label's new brand book with him and fellow employees.
Priestley's own fashion preferences are somewhat less mainstream, with the clothing produced by Belgian designer Dries Van Noten among his personal favorites.
Marla Green, Priestley's fashion merchandising professor, said she believes Priestley has a bright future ahead of him.
Priestley credits his parents, Swan and Scott, for encouraging him in his journey.

Clean it, or have it cleaned, but don't refinish it.
Are you certain that it's a "38 Special"? At that age, it more likely might be made for the .38 S&W cartridge, which is quite different from .38 Special.
Take it around to a few different shops, and ask what each place would do, to clean it and make sure that it's safe to fire.
Beware anybody who says that he would polish or buff any part of it. Antiques should be cleaned, but not polished or buffed.
To get further information, a photo or two would be helpful.

I went on a road trip today and met some 501st armor builders that have some pretty good stuff , Needless to say I bought my fair share of toys.
I was handed a mold and told I could make couple Clone Helmets so I did, (I had to hand roll the molds instead of rotocasting ) And I think I did A pretty good job of it , the interiors are smooth as glass although the castings have a few dimples on the outside there not to bad , I'm saying their made from MR parts judging by the size .
I'll have pics by tomarrow to show them off. I may buy the mold being its up for sale , Anyone interested in a casting?

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by blueadams, Dec 24, 2012.
NBA Trade Rumors: Rajon Rondo to Pistons might make sense - Detroit Bad Boys
This won't make you many friends, but it is the right move. Again, you are right in emphasizing the fast paced offense the Pistons need as a system motif. The wonder of this question mark is how capable Cheeks is in this direction and how they set up the FA and S/T aspects, via the ever conservative JD.
Whoa! Is there actually some creative and might I add, some (wink, wink) strategy going on here?
No it doesn't! Boston is under siege: from Rivers, that tall guy and Pierce. "Gee", comments Ainge, "lets make this a total Animal House".
Why not just draft Burke and then immediately trade him for Zeller plus cash/pick/ etc?
Agreed. Just take the best available player and see what happens...
You added some dialogue there, didn't you? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Why go ass-back-wards. Don't play head games with these kids. Burke is not the best available athlete in the entire lottery. And why add on to multiple projects that haven taken years for us to understand that time and circumstance is not adding up (Stuckey/Knight) and now you want to add Burke?
Not meant to be a literal quote; but a situational response that finds one in, An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge: the catching of breath from the rolling thunder of time and circumstance.
Sorry did I hear the echoes of people whining about Korver's defense. Monta 'Have it all' Ellis is literally the last person I would elect to have on my team without a gun to my head. He isn't just a shoot first guard, he is a shoot everything guard. He will throw passes at the hoop if he is inbounding. On defense? He is just thinking about all the sweet 20ft pullups he will take when he gets the ball back. Yeah he doesn't really play defense. He isn't undersized, but just doesn't really care. Has a TS% under 50% but a usage rate over 25%. I don't want to pay a guard $12 million dollars a year to get roughly 1 point per possession on a quarter of the teams plays. Here are some lovely quotes from Hollinger "he ... doesn't seem to understand that a contested 20-footer off the dribble is a bad idea if there's still 18 on the shot clock. " "has become something of a poor man's Carmelo Anthony -- a high scorer but one with middling efficiency and little defensive value. " "Ellis has a size disadvantage and short arms, but he also over-gambles and under-tries. " Oh wait, you think you are going to get a discount on Ellis. $10m a year? Ha. He will be demanding a minimum of $15m a year. He didn't opt out just because he doesn't like the Bucks, he also wants the dollars.
You stopped reading before the "and then immediately trade him for Zeller".
Oh, I caught that. It just makes things too complicated and it won't happen with JD.
The case against Iggy. NBA Free Agent Rumors: Pistons should avoid Andre Iguodala at any cost - Detroit Bad Boys
We should avoid everyone. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Without touching all the other stuff I do not think Ellis is a lost cause on D. I lived in San Francisco when he first started playing for GS and he played some D his rookie year. This may be Walter Herrrrrrrman redux, but I remember him giving Tony Parker fits with his quickness. It is there. I don't want to sign him as a FA, but this dude has the size and athleticism to be a monster as a shoot first point. Maybe he can't play there, but he'd be a great outside the box fit with Monroe and Drummond if he could. Fill out the roster with a couple of DTA's (defense, 3's and athletes) and we got a team. I doubt Mo Cheeks is the guy to pull this all off anyway.
That sort of convinced me actually.
Monta is only 27 years old.
Cody Zeller? I love it. When you can take a mediocre player at a position with the least need, you can't pass up.
The draft is next Thursday. It seems like it is taking forever. The only good thing about Washington leap-frogging us in the 1st round is that we move up from #38 to #37 in the 2nd round. There might be a decent player there. Combine that guy with our #56 pick and it will surely give lee356 a couple hundred thousand more rotation possibilities.
I'm also very excited about his seeming "lack of heart" and tendency to disappear in big moments!

Well, how do you fare compared to the Zeitgeist?
Chat up your fellow wooters and let us know how lame this poll was or what obvious choices we missed.
For example: Was this poll a) STUPID, b) DUMB, c) POINTLESS or d) ALL OF THE ABOVE?
Dude, we have smartphones now.
The liscense-plate game / Alphabet game
either a book or playing on the iphone!
Audio books. Singing.
Or a nap. Probably a nap.
Sex and drugs and Rock n' Roll
Either the alphabet game, or then sleeping. Mostly sleeping.
Cigars and Gin
Are we there yet?
I can't believe you missed Roadkill Bingo!
Sudoku on the tablet. (Actually writing in numbers is for losers.) Reading, helping navigate, telling the driver what they're doing wrong... Yeah, I usually drive.
Get hammered drunk, listen to music, nap. Rinse and repeat.
Alphabet names of movies...
Alien = A
Braveheart = B
Clockwork Orange = C
Downfall = D...
A novel and/or video games.
Last road trip my buddy and me rocked out to bowling for soup.
Relax....enjoy the scenery.
I love audio books for long trips.
The Alphabet game. You get to see the scenery and bits of America as you look for the letters. It also keeps you looking out to stop car sickness.
nap before it's my turn to drive.
Flash Games on computer from smartphone's wifi. What? The Signal dropped again?!?!
"The World's Greatest Travel Game"
When I was a kid, we always brought it with us on long road trips, so much fun!
Sleep... Yup, lots & lots of sweet sweet sleepin'...
Vidya games. Lolz
The passenger scouts for and finds a nose picker, have the driver pace him. Pretend you're picking in the same way he is (or she, yes women are pickers too) while staring at them. Wait for their embarrassed reaction. It's hours of endless fun.
...answer ridiculous polls on woot.

2nd this - license game by yourself or as team but alphabet game needs additional person(s) for competition!
I pretend to listen to the driver/other passengers while looking at the passing scenery and/or fantasizing myself in various movies/tv shows.
Are you kidding, passenger??? I'm driving!
I Spy or the Alphabet game, maybe another game that doesn't require the driver to look at something besides the road. Or napping. I went on a road trip with somebody who wouldn't let me nap, but fell asleep the second I took the wheel. :-\
You're the passenger on a long road trip. Best way to kill time:
No train, Fly!
Passenger: Reading, talking or, sleeping
Driver: Audiobooks, talking, talk (or sports) radio or surfing the radio waves.
SLUG BUG, best with an unwilling participant...
One of two things: Phone/portable gaming device & sleep
Audiobooks and/or music and/or games on the iPod or phone. Or heck!, I used to do some of my writing while I was on a bus so there's another option.
.... unless I get stuck in the back seat. Then it's def the listening thing because I MUST keep my head up or I'll become nauseated.

great job Eric
I debated about adding the other screw in each ear. I actually saw some pics on Jez's SW Helmets site that showed a helmet with only one screw above the gray box, and one screw close to the neck trim, so I went with that.
If I ever want to add another one it's a 5 minute process. :)
Looks great, thanks for keeping us posted on the progress. I definitely plan on modding mine, and I'll use this thread for reference. :)
I'll be dammed to hell but I'm going to go ahead and get one of these despite the fact the wife will flip out, maybe! (seeing as there's a distraction in the works) If I miss out on one of these I know I'm going to kick myself. Now where did I put my visa card?? :)
Nice job on modding the MR CE Stormtrooper bucket Superjedi! I won the auction for one of these buckets today on Ebay for a little over $100 bucks and maybe I'll mod it as well. Thanks for sharing this with us!
SJ: How exactly did you get the HOVI tips off? I'm looking at mine and there is a little piece which it is glued to. Did you just grind that off? And how did you reattach, just with the CA glue?
I used a small grinding bit on the Dremel and went at it from the inside of the helmet. I did this very carefully, grinding until I could just get the Hovi tips off.
For reattachment, yes, I just used a few drops of CA glue. The helmet is being shipped to Korea right now, so in about 6 weeks I'll see how well it held. ;)
wow eric, great mod! after seeing this thread and the prices i had to get one.
i picked up one on the bay for 127 shipped. so im happy :) no way was i going to be able to "sneek" this one past the wife. lol so i brought up the $171 she spent on some clothes over the weekend and i got the OK!!! heh heh...............now only if the star wars chronicles book goes un-noticed ;) :lol
Great. Thanks Super! Looks like I'm going for the full mod as well. Going out now looking for some Squadron putty (MMD) and buying some new HOVI's for it. Putty, paint and reassembly..oh I'll be done by the end of summer! :)
I'm debating whether to cut the lid top so it matches the Stunt look (higher brow rubber). I saw somewhere (???) that some did it. Didn't look to difficult, but not sure if I feel like tackling that. I think I will trim the ears down though.
I think its hysterical that the Testors Grey/stormtrooper grey is 1138!!!!
Am I the only one that got this or am I REALLY late to the ball game and you all stopped laughing about that a long time ago>
I LOVE my CE helmet and am getting at least two more but I will be doing the ear mod and working on the frown. I think that center tooth needs to be taller so Im going to put a veneer on it and prob drill out an extra tooth space on either end of the frown. I like this helmet FAR more then the FX and with fix ears and a little work I thinks its teh best troopable helmet out there. Thing is sturdy too!

Armstrong Lobbying Targeted Investigator
During his long campaign to clear his name from allegations of doping, Lance Armstrong hired a Washington lobbying firm in 2010 to raise concerns about the agent leading a federal criminal investigation into his former cycling team, according to an official at the firm.
While there is no evidence the effort played a role in a U.S. attorney's 2012 decision to close that investigation, the effort shows how far the disgraced former cyclist and his advisers went to try to frustrate efforts to probe Mr. Armstrong's past.
Kent Caperton, principal of the Ben Barnes Group, said in an interview that his firm was hired in July 2010 on Mr. Armstrong's behalf for a lobbying effort aimed, in part, at raising concerns about Jeff Novitzky, a Food and Drug Administration special agent who was leading the investigation into Mr. Armstrong's U.S. Postal Service cycling team.
Mr. Caperton said the firm worked for Mr. Armstrong for about three months, but, after arranging meetings on Capitol Hill, decided a full-scale lobbying effort wouldn't have worked. "There was no congressional path forward," he said.
Mr. Caperton said the Barnes Group had no contact with the Department of Justice and couldn't remember whether senators or representatives were contacted or just staff members. "There really wasn't a lobbying effort," he said. "No congressman in his or her right mind would try to interfere with a criminal investigation."
Documents filed by the Barnes Group under lobbying-disclosure laws show that the firm was hired to "monitor and liase [sic] with regard to the Federal Government's involvment [sic] into allegations of improper use of steroids and other substances by professional athletes."
Tim Herman, Mr. Armstrong's longtime counsel, made two payments in 2010 of $25,000 each through his Texas law firm to Barnes, which has offices in Austin, Texas, and in Washington, according to the documents.
Mr. Herman and a representative for Mr. Armstrong didn't respond to requests for comment.
The federal Lobbying Disclosure Act doesn't prohibit individuals from hiring lobbying firms. All that is required is that the lobbying firms disclose the purpose and payments made.
The Barnes effort began about three months after Mr. Novitzky and prosecutors in the Los Angeles U.S. attorney's office began looking into whether Mr. Armstrong's team engaged in systematic doping and thus defrauded their sponsors, including the U.S. Postal Service. Mr. Armstrong admitted doping last month.
In February 2012, Andre Birotte, the U.S. attorney in Los Angeles, announced he was dropping the criminal investigation. Mr. Birotte declined to comment.
Also in 2012, as the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency investigated Mr. Armstrong, a lobbyist hired by his cancer charity visited Rep. Jose Serrano (D., N.Y.), according to the congressman, who said through a spokesman the lobbyist criticized USADA and questioned the fairness of its process.
A spokeswoman for the Lance Armstrong Foundation called the description of the lobbyist's visit "inaccurate." The purpose of the visit, she said, may have been misconstrued by Mr. Serrano's office, because the topic of USADA may have come up in passing. She added, "All of our lobbying is focused on the well being and access to care that our constituents rely on."

Preen by Thornton Bregazzi Resort 2014
Preen by Thornton Bregazzi did very well with their modern-elegant punk collection for fall. Now they're onto the next thing. "Grunge!" laughs Thea Bregazzi. "It's all coming back . . . meeting at motorway service stations and going off to some rave in a field or warehouse when we were at college in Manchester, where it was all happenning with the music." By the late nineties, Bregazzi and her partner Justin Thornton had set up Preen. "Thea used to wear vintage slips over white T-shirts, with trainers—it was all that!" Thornton reminisces." That's why we've been working with bias cutting, and forget-me-not prints, and even dip-dyeing—that was very grunge."
The smart part about their recycling (or should that be upcycling?) of the shared memories of their youth is that they know exactly how to push the buttons of their own generational cohort—by now, successful professionals like themselves. "We have this customer who is our frien, too," says Thornton. "She's a CEO by now, or a filmmaker, in media or business. She has this life where she might be in the boardroom and going to events in the evenings—but she's also spending her summers going to festivals or to the beach. So the idea is she could wear a floral bias-cut dress with heels for a work cocktail party—or with flip-flops or festival flats when she's off to Coachella."
All this explains the coherence in Preen's collection—and how the couple create a fine balance between being cool and young (but not too young) and functional (but not boring). Resort spans interesting workplace-friendly tailoring and crisply fitted dresses with a flip in the hem—and goes all the way through to offering a thought-out system for what a woman needs for a beach trip, swimsuits, sweatshirts, and loose, demi-casual dresses to sling on as cover-ups (there's a particularly lovely assymetrically cut pink one). Kudos to them for a pretty palette, the fits they've evolved, and especially for being spokes-designers for the the nineties generation, all grown up.


text: I started building a helmet using Alan's (WOF) template, sizing it down to what I thought would work for my 10 year old son. He's returned to his mother's for the school year so I don't have him here to gauge whether it'll fit or not and I really don't want to go crazy with this thing if it's not going to fit. About how tall and wide are your kid's helmets on a kid about his age?

I wish we could get 50 feet of snow by morning so I can stay holed up at home and sleep for the next week.
Be careful of what you wish for you just might get it. That much snow would last til May. When I was in Japan (Hokaiddo) we'd get snow starting in September and it would still be there in May, it would compact into ice 10 feet thick.

Just installed a Pioneer FH-P8000BT stereo in my car. Really easy install! Got a noticeable boost in bass and sound quality! Still not where I want it to be, but you gotta start somewhere.
I wasn't sure what to do about the bluetooth mic. Any tips on where to place it to get good sound and looks? I had heard that on the dash or rearview mirror have great sound, but I have no idea how to route it to there while hiding the wire.
Any tips?

The Canisius College women's soccer team fell 2-1 to Monmouth (8-1-0, 2-0-0 MAAC) on Saturday afternoon in Long Branch, N.J. The Griffs fell to 1-2-0 in MAAC play.
The Griffs went down early after giving up a goal in the 17th minute, but rallied after senior forward Brianna Smith scored the game-tying goal just 11 minutes later.
The goal was the 36th of her career, tying her with Kelly Reinwald for second on the all-time goal scoring list.
Monmouth scored the go-ahead and eventual game-winning goal in the 47th minute when Alexis Tamney beat senior goalkeeper Megan Tock after an Alexa Freguletti cross.
Tock, who came into the contest ranked eighth in the nation in total saves, added another ten to that total on Saturday. It was the fourth time this season that she's recorded eight or more saves.
Canisius will return to action on Wednesday when it travels to play long-time rival Niagara, in the first contest of the annual Battle of the Bridge series of the 2013-14 year. Kickoff will be at 7 p.m.

Mastered by Jeffrey Norman in HDCD
Original art by Wes Lang
Individually Numbered, Limited Edition of 9,000
Introducing The Next Box: Spring 1990!
And now for something a little different. This year's box set - Grateful Dead: Spring 1990 - offers six complete shows from the epic spring '90 tour, one concert from each city the band played, personally selected by Dead vaultmeister and archival release producer David Lemieux. The sizzling six are: 3/16/90 Capital Centre (Landover , MD), 3/19/90 Hartford Civic Center, 3/22/90 Copps Coliseum (Hamilton, Ontario), 3/26/90 Knickerbocker Arena (Albany, NY), 3/30/90 Nassau Coliseum (Uniondale, NY) and 4/2/90 The Omni (Atlanta, GA).
In his "Producer's Note" in the beautiful book that is part of the box, Lemieux, who attended the first 10 shows on the tour, states, "To my ears this was the last tour that was consistently great, where every show is excellent, not a dud in the bunch." And Grateful Dead historian Dennis McNally's comprehensive and informative insider's essay in the box is titled "The Last Great Dead Tour." These guys know what they're talking about.
Basically, the band had been on an upward trajectory since Garcia's return to the road in the spring of '87, following his near-death the previous summer. Of course, 1987 was a trip in itself, what with the unexpected mega-success of In the Dark and their first hit single, "Touch of Grey." But the momentum just kept building with each subsequent tour, as Garcia got back up to full speed (and then some!) and the group as a whole was as unified as they had ever been since Brent joined the band in the spring of '79. New original tunes were popping up and the old favorites were imbued with a freshness and spirit that was so uplifting and inspiring. The band was having fun again, and it was downright infectious.
The group's fall 1989 shows-as documented two years ago on the Formerly the Warlocks box (two shows from Hampton, VA, 10/8-9/89) and on the 2001 release Nightfall of Diamonds (a single night in NJ, 10/16/89)- kicked the energy level up another couple of notches, as the band reintroduced such loved classics as "Help on the Way" > "Slipknot!," "Attics of My Life," "Death Don't Have No Mercy" and "Dark Star."
And when the band hit the road in mid-March 1990, they had a bunch of other cool tunes to lay on their unsuspecting crowds, including the return of "Loose Lucy" (last played in 1974; it's not on this box), Brent's "Easy to Love You" (missing since 1980), a rollicking cover of the Rolling Stones' "The Last Time," The Band's "The Weight" (with all four singers taking a verse each) and a lyrically retooled "Black-Throated Wind" (absent since 1974), which elicited huge cheers every time it was played.
Over these six shows, most of the cornerstones of the Dead's repertoire from the era appear-splendid versions of "Scarlet Begonias" > "Fire on the Mountain," "China Cat Sunflower" > "I Know You Rider," "Playing in the Band," "Uncle John's Band," "Eyes of the World," "Estimated Prophet," "Truckin'," "Sugar Magnolia," "The Other One," "Terrapin," "Stella Blue," "Feel Like a Stranger," "Bird Song," "Let It Grow," "China Doll," "Box of Rain," "Morning Dew"; you name it. From the fall '89 breakouts come "Help-Slip-Frank," "Attics of My Life" and "Death Don't Have No Mercy." Among the still newish tunes are "Picasso Moon," "Blow Away," "Foolish Heart," "Just a Little Light," "Victim or the Crime," "Standing on the Moon," "We Can Run" and a couple that would get their final plays from the Grateful Dead on this tour-"Built to Last" and "Believe It or Not." There are stirring renditions of "Dear Mr. Fantasy" and "Black Muddy River," rockin' takes on "Gimme Some Lovin'" and "Iko Iko" and the only version of the full "Hey Jude" the band attempted in the modern era. And the "Rhythm Devils" and "Space" jams at the heart of each second set are as noisy-beautiful-scary-funny-intense-mysterious-wild as you'd expect/hope for.
Of course, we understand that some of you may have other favorite shows from this tour you wish were included on this box. Really, you can't go wrong with any of them. But at 18 discs, this is still the second largest Grateful Dead box (after Europe '72: The Complete Recordings) that's been released, and the non-inclusion of any other shows from the tour definitely does not preclude their future release! But this seemed like a more manageable way to go, while still giving a sense of the tour's amazing depth and breadth.
Besides the discs themselves, Grateful Dead: Spring 1990 has much to offer, including: a gorgeous 60-page hardcover book containing copious color photos by Jim Anderson and Michael Laurentus, unique artwork by Brooklyn-based fine artist Wes Lang, fascinating business letters and communications related to the tour, a detailed historical essay by Dennis McNally, a Producer's Note by David Lemieux and individual show descriptions by Blair Jackson; a reproduction of the Dead's 1990 tour program (printed and sold later in '90, for the fall and Europe '90 tours); tickets and backstage passes of all six shows; a band publicity photo from 1990 by Ken Friedman; Dennis McNally's tour laminate; and reproductions of the colored 8x10 sheets GDTS sent out with hotel, food and other information for each city on the tour.
With recordings made by longtime Grateful Dead recordist and producer John Cutler, mastered by Jeffrey Norman in HDCD, you just know it's gonna sound great-and it does!
So, that's the skinny this time 'round. This box is limited to just 9,000 numbered copies - please note, this is the only time these shows will ever be officially available on CD. There will not be an All Music Edition and single shows will not be available physically. Due to ship out August 31st, we anticipate that this extraordinary set will sell-out, so order your copy today!

Touch Of Grey is one of my favourites ever. Best music I've ever listened to.
You write that
"ebay doesn't have gougers which implies raising prices during an emergency as in 10 bucks for a bottle of water in a hurricane. Having the box sets hardly falls in the same category."
Gouging doesn't require someone to be capitalizing on life essentials in a shortage/crisis as your bottle of water example suggests. It simply requires the elevation of prices to outlandish extents in a shortage of commodities as in the overly high prices of GD box sets (this first volume of spring 1990 and even Winterland 77 in particular) in the aftermarket.
I remember "price gouging" applied to those selling the Atari 2600 for crazy prices after they sold out at retailers one Christmas back in 1980 or so. That thing was no bottle of water and there weren't any hurricanes that winter.
1st they aren't going for 1500 people are asking for that and getting 6-750. 2nd ebay doesn't have gougers which implies raising prices during an emergency as in 10 bucks for a bottle of water in a hurricane. Having the box sets hardly falls in the same category. Especially when just about any deadhead can ask a friend to be kind and burn a copy. No it isn't stealing unless it's stealing from your aforementioned ebay gougers since the dead or rhino will not be making any more money from it. Final point so far the dead and rhino have kept their word not gone back on it by issuing more.I don't know about you but I find that honesty in business refreshing
So now that these are selling for up to $1500 on eBay, I can't help but wonder about the after-market economy that's been inadvertently established by these very limited run box sets. Wouldn't whoever owns "dead.net" at this point be better served by printing more of these sets outright or at least re-issuing them after a few years than letting eBay gougers make many times more than the original price on re-selling these? In the end, people want to hear the music and most of us can't pay a month's mortgage payment on a set of CDs off eBay!!
Hey Mayre can you check on this? It says temp hold, but I emailed customer service and they said sold out? Website needs to be updated . Ecommerce website :E-commerce Firesale review

If anyone wants an original matching poster, I have one I must unload. I had it custom framed. Any reasonable offers considered. Pictures by request.
Anyone out there looking to sell a new or used copy of Spring 1990, Volume 1 box set. Found a few on EBay for $$$$$$, willing to buy for a reasonable price. Will buy used as long as all extras are included. Please message me direct
Happy Holidays!
No problem whatsoever with the Spring 90, TOO downloads or anything else other than one of the Road Trips. The two Road Trips tracks that were corrupted were replaced by Dr. Rhino with perfect copies (took a week or so), just a polite note to customer service, taken care of a few days afterwards.
I wouldn't hesitate, the downloads are all great, and customer service here is fine, just give them some time and space to address the issue.
Edit - I just noticed your remark about a problem with files RT 3.3 - did you give the particulars to customer service? After a few days Dr. Rhino sent me a time limited download link to get replacement files.
I saw that you had problems with some ALAC Road Trips Downloads. I did as well months back with RT 3.3. I was wondering if you (or anyone else for that matter) have downloaded the Spring 90 or May 77 boxes in ALAC. I'd like to know that they aren't corrupted before buying. It was kind of a slog to get the RT downloads fixed. Thanks.
Spring TOO is maximum audio quality - 192 kHz/24 bits, like having the master tape. Also it is from a (then) state of the art analog multitrack source. So, it is noticeably better, mostly - in some songs I prefer Volume 1, but I think that's personal taste, I just like some of the mixes on 1 more than TOO (and some on TOO more than 1). There are songs on TOO that don't appear on 1 & vice versa, so they don't duplicate entirely.
TOO is like a live-in-the-studio recording, it is crystal clear, the vocals are more up front, where 1 has more of a concert feel, with the vocals slightly further back in the soundstage.
lgreen, maybe you can connect your hi-res player to your hi-fi aux input?
Thanks Ziffle
I bought the hi-res FLAC not the Apple Lossless and used this as an excuse to get a portable hi-res player - wonderful!!! So good I haven't even tried to see if I can burn to a CD my hi-fi will play... if this sounds this good then what must Spring 90 TOO sound like in hi-res?
A follow up to my original post - there were two corrupt files, the one file that I was able to use (non-HDCD) barely plays through, and skips around. I've notified dead.net. We shall see. I bought another download, this time I specified FLAC. Worked perfectly. Converted to AIFF, imported to iTunes, burned CD from iTunes, a perfect HDCD was the result. Original post below:
I purchased the ALAC download version of Road Trips 4 #2. I brought the files into iTunes, created a playlist, burned to CD, and yes, I ended up with an HDCD disc, sounds great. I put the files into the right order (they are mixed between 3/31 and 4/1 on the CD's).
BUT one file did not transcode. I had to bring it into Audacity, and export to AIFF in order to get it on a CD, and that single file did not appear (or sound) as HDCD, just common CDDA. I'm going to report to dead.net customer service about the corrupt file, hopefully they will send a replacement.
I might try this again with a different Road Trips set and go from the FLAC files to AIFF make CDs, see if they are HDCD (and then back up to iTunes as ALAC).
In the case of this set, I still believe that the 88.2kHz FLAC are the way to go. They are superior to any 44.1/16 file even with HDAC encoding. Transcode to WAV (not AIFF) for listening. Sublime.
Hope this helps.
Can anyone who has purchased the standard Apple Lossless d/l edition [44.1/16bit] tell me if the download - when burnt to CDR - is HDCD encoded like the physical CDs were? I asked the dead.net 'customer service' and they refused to answer [and were quite rude too] which suggests the answer is no but I am still hoping...
If anyone has one to sell I would be GRATEFUL. Reach me at firstname.lastname@example.com
~~~Thanks and Peace Out~~~
On the off chance anyone wants to offload this box to a head for a reasonable price, I am at firstname.lastname@example.com Thx & peace.
I now bought this box set in Apple Lossless format. There's a lot of music to go through, but I've been listening to it and it's great quality sound wise. I have both box sets now and I see no reason to be splitting hairs over how the two boxes compare. They are the 1990 spring shows all recorded really well, well balanced and with the ambiance of the venues. I'm really glad to have this.
I just realized that they didn't start using tape until the latter half of the forties (except a few German experiments), so they must not have started the art of mixing until then. When they recorded directly to lacquer disks, I don't think they had a way to mix separate recordings together. So multi-miking couldn't have started until tape recording.
Edit - the books that come with the first box are fantastic. Beautiful photography and well written extensive documentation of shows and times.
Thanks for the clarification. People have commented on this box set from totally different perspectives.
So this box set is superior to the average Dicks Picks and same as the "So Glad You Made It" album. In my opinion that means it's excellent.
I love the "Spring 1990 - So Glad You Made It" tracks and I'm excited to get the full set. By the way the Scarlet Begonias from "So Glad You Made It" is exquisite :)
Cheers :)
Yes, the sound on box one is great and superior to the average dicks picks.
Sorry, I didnt think I answered the last one as an audiophile. I didn't refer to digital audiophile technobabble that has been discussed here earlier. The number of tracks used is old school non audiophile stuff. Mono - one track, stereo - two track. More tracks (Anthem of the Sun maybe the first to use 16 tracks in 1967 and 1968, they "borrowed" the recording equipment) means each instrument can get wired to at least one separate track, with some tracks used for combinations, like both guitars. This means that to make a stereo recording someone sits down and plays with the volumes of each track to combine all the tracks together into just two tracks, a stereo mix of the original 16 different recorded tracks. This lets the mixer create an ideal balance between each instrument.
This isn't audiophile stuff. Ever since recording to more than one track, mixing has been part of the recorded music business. In the 30's or 40's they began miking orchestras with more than one microphone located at various points above the orchestra. Someone then had to mix together all the separate recorded tracks into a single track (mono) mix to be released on 78 rpm discs. The mixer doesn't have to (and usually doesn't) keep each track the same volume, but plays with the volume of each track to get a mix that sounds ideal.
The core of what I was explaining is that they made a stereo mix on the fly at each of these spring 90 concerts that were recorded to 24 separate tracks. For the second box, Jeffrey Norman went back to the original 24 tracks and spent about a day per song mixing each down to a stereo two track to use in the box.
The dicks picks series (with at least one mono exception) were all also created from a two track stero mix done on the fly during the performances.
Hello. Please allow me to clarify: I am NOT a major audiophile. I'm nearly 50 and don't hear like a kid anymore. Can anyone verify that the sound quality on Spring 1990 Box ONE sounds as good or better than an average Dick Picks CD?
I'm asking just because some of the reviews say the sound is poor quality.
There seems to be some confusion in the last few posts. For the first box they used 2-track digital recordings that were mixed at the show in real-time from the original 24 tracks. For the second box they went back to the 24 track source and spent an enormous amount of time creating the two track for release. So, the difference is using the mix that was created on the spot, which was very very good, versus spending months creating a two track mix, which came out mind blowingly excellent. However, even though the mix for the second box most people would say is superior, there is at least one advantage to the on the spot mix which is that it has more of a live ambience, less clinical, sound. The sound on the second box is so crisp and clean it might have been studio recordings. So, I'm kind of glad I have both. I do like the second one better - it's simply unbelievable, but there are times I prefer the first mix.
So Glad You Made It is just a highlights disc with tracks taken directly from the first box.
I have the same question as VSmith1967 right below this comment.
But I want to ask also whether the "So Glad You Made It" tracks are the same as on this. The album cover art is exactly the same, so I would think so.
My point is that if they are the same tracks and same quality, then in my opinion there is no major question of quality. I have the "So Glad You Made It" album from iTunes (M4A files). I think the quality of that is really good.
I definitely want great sound, but I'm not a major audiophile about it.
I see many comments about the quality of this set, but from what perspective are those comments? Are those guys comparing fine details of just the FLAC versions?
Hey now :)
Hello all. I bought The Other One in AAC download, and I LOVE it!
I am wanting to buy the AAC version of the FIRST box; however, it's been posted that the sound quality on the first box is inferior to that of the second.
Can anyone who has AAC versions of both comment on whether or not the first is poor quality sound?
I'd really appreciate some info because I don't want to spend $120 on something that sounds bad.
Thanks a lot for any info you can provide.
Been diggin 4/2/90 Atlanta and WOW that's a Death Don't for the ages! Jerry is totally on as is the whole band. Whew!
Downloaded this.
The sound can't compare to the second box.
Fantastic shows, though, and the 88/24 HD FLAC files sound great, better than the CDs from the orginal box in my opinion, even if they pale in comparison to Spring 1990 TOO.
Some dat recorders could record at 96khz/24bit, referred to as HHS. I have no idea what the acronym stands for. In any case, if this was used for recording then transfer to "HD FLAC" would make sense.
Yes I was just wondering I did buy this box but I would buy the downloads in a heartbeat if they used the 24 track
I have not yet purchased this first box set knowing the sound is inferior to the second box. The second set of shows sounds so damn good that it is tough to pull the trigger on this box. Maybe I am just spoiled.
I probably will just purchase this set but damn it would be nice if they had used the 24 track.
Keep them coming!
Highly doubt they remastered for just a digital download considering the time Jeffery Norman took for each show on the second box...
But I'd be up for a voucher if they did ;)
Would be great if box owners of Spring 90 got a download voucher for Multi-track if they do release. Spring 90 TOO sounds amazing. So far I like the music from the first box though, currently I'm Into the 3rd show from 2nd box.
Does anyone know if this download is the 2 track or 24 track
Unless you use the 24-track masters this would not make sense.
How can there be an "HD FLAC" from DAT masters (the Srping 1990 Box)?
Looks like July.
When does the next one come out? What will it take to make it happen?
Sorry to have to say this and bring in bad vibes
Please b aware of fake wes lang items from this collection being sold online and at festivals.
Only hint i know is fake belt buckle has upside down #399 on it
Peace and much love to all
Hiya djacques,
Sorry to hear about your ordering woes.
Contact me at my e-mail account;
and we'll see if we can sort something out.
I ordered this some weeks ago with the a mis-typed address for my credit card. By the time I realized the order had been cancelled - they were sold out. Is there going to be another release? Will these shows be made avail for down load?
Hi, I'm a deadhead from Japan, and after all these years, the Spring 1990 Box Set is some of the best DEAD I've heard!!
the sound quality is prime, and the music being played there is just soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sweet!!
this is Grateful Dead at their best.
Thank you David and everyone at dead.net.
I would love to see DVDs from this era:))
Me too. I have every confidence there will be an e mail today(?) from Dr Rhino to let me know it is on it's way - complete with a tracking number that actually works.
I'm really sorry to hear that Gr8uluk. I know I probably came across as a self-satisfied jerk.
I really hope it gets to you soon.
Unharmed and defect-free.
I await Dave's 4 with some trepidation, if that puts any balance into my unstable throne of contentment.
Nope, still waiting for my copy to be sent. The good Doctor assures me that I should receive a shipping notification any day now. It has been a hell of a wait!!!
I must say, since all the dramas with the shipping and state of some of the discs, I have been well looked after by D.Rhino.
I hope everyone has received their sets and is feeling better now.
I suppose we're all in this crazy world together and perhaps we've all learned different things throughout this process; customer service and customers alike.
Lets hope for a better year next year, not only for Dead.net, but everything in this crazy world and for all those people who are really suffering out there (I found myself feeling a little silly whinging and worrying so much about my music purchases when children are still dying from war and famine).
Cheers everyone.
Hey there,
Yes I have checked my Credit card statement. I was billed $240 (round figures inc postage). Then I was given the $20 refund that you mention. Now I have been given what customer services call a full refund - another $180. So yes, there are 2 credits but they do not include the postage to UK.
However my public rant seems to have had an effect - I have had an e mail from the good Doctor apologising for the problems and says the box will be sent within 10-14 days. He also said he intends to tackle customer services over some of their comments which he does not understand.
I may be wrong, but I think if you look at the S'90 link it no longer says the set is on temporary hold. This has occurred in the last couple of hours or so, but check for yourself in case I am mistaken.
@gr8fuluk - my situation was the same as yours, the initial 20% (or $20 - I can't remember) discount they gave me was off of Spring 90 due to all the hassles, they also credited me back the $13 shipping fees. At that point, they still claimed they were shipping replacements.
Weeks later, when they ultimately cancelled my order because they had no inventory, the credit was the balance of the $230, about $175 rather than the full amount. In addition, they gave me a coupon for 20% off my next order, which based on this experience may never happen.
So check your statement, my hunch is you have 2 credits. One for the discount, and another for the balance.
I had placed an order for this box set on August 2, 2012 and it arrived at my residence on September 4, 2012. I opened it and inspected everything, CAREFULLY removing each disc and doing a quick sound check - that is playing thru each disc to see if it was correctly labeled - everything sounded fine - all the extras - the book, the tour program reprint, the info sheets, photo and the ticket stubs, backstage passes - all were there and looked fine, no problem.
Each show sounds great - I love the mix and the overall arena ambience. I did notice on several tracks, Jerry's voice was low in the mix, and I now consider those Jerry songs as "future work" - some overdubs are needed, to make these songs sound "just exactly perfect." In case you didn't know, Jerry Garcia died on August 9, 1995, so it's impossible for him to do these needed overdubs. Bringing up his voice in the mix may have brought some other unforeseen problems, so the mixes were kept as is. And I see these as minor flaws in the whole picture.
Each concert is a great powerful performance in it's own right - the band is running full steam ahead each show is excellent, all are consistently great. I deeply appreciate the shows that were included in this box set. The shows that were not included in this box are great, too. I have the official 3/15/90 Terrapin Limited set, released in 1997, and two unofficial recordings - 3/22/90, and 3/29/90. These two shows are excellent and worthy of official release.
This box set release seems to be aimed at the "Touch Heads" and I am of the Europe '72:The Complete Recordings generation. The music contained in both box sets are excellent. I feel sorry for all those folks who have had problems with this release, I hope you problems can be resolved in a positive manner for you.
My box set, 3426, arrive in perfect condition, as almost all are.
To the powers who brought this box to the light of day, I thank you very much, I deeply appreciate this release.
Dear Sir,
You will be aware no doubt that after having problems with Europe 72, I have had an even worse experience with S'90, namely a considerable wait for said box, eventually being given a $20 discount for all the inconvenience etc. Only then to be told by your customer services that you have received the box I have returned and will be issuing a refund. I have informed you and customer services that I have NEVER received the box and asked why you are issuing a refund when according to your web site more supplies are due any day now.
You have refused to reply but issued a refund anyway. BUT... wait a minute - you have deducted the $20 credit - presumably you have decided my inconvenience was not that great and you have deducted $35.98 postage for goods that I have never received. Explanation please?
If I say that I am absolutely disgusted, maybe you can understand why. And maybe you personally will kindly take some action to remedy this matter.
I cannot EVER remember being so badly treated by any organisation.
And YES, believe it or not I still want the box set that I originally paid for and received your formal order for . In UK law and presumably US law too, I believe that constitutes a contract!

I have a old 28-2 that was showing some wear and I am overhauling it as best I can (for practice mostly)
and I may put boron or teflon electroless nickel on it when I am done. One area I have not seen a fix for
is the cylinder notches. The side faces are showing a little battering from where the cylinder inertia gets
stopped by the cylinder stop. I would like to get the side walls of the notches back at 90 degrees to the
stop tooth. I thought of working them lightly with a brass punch with a toolsteel pin through the
appropriate cylinder hole as a backup ...... but I think that would leave a little battering marks behind.
I was thinking of making a hardened toolsteel block that would just fit down into the notch and perfectly
fill it up . Lightly clamp it in place via the cylinder hole so it is in same orientation as the real stop.
Then I would shot peen the two surfaces on either side at about a 45 degree angle. The idea is that
it would massage the surface lateraly and platticly push the steel up against the hardened plug but
no further. Then I should be able to just pull the plug out and be left with nice sharp square edges to
the notch.
I called S+W to their custom shop smiths and asked them how they would do it...... but they didn't
give me any answer and kind of said it wasn't worth doing (??????????????????????)
Does anyone know a fix for this problem and do you think this would work ???????
If so what size shot ?? ( like maybe #12 steel ?)

O.k don't bag me as I don't have any real knowledge on how transmissions work
But will they ever make a Manual+Automatic transmission in the same car
I mean Full manual, as in a clutch pedal. Then say when the wife hops in she could perhaps turn a rotary dial and select which automatic gear she wants. Will this be possible in the future as I feel we are getting closer with semi-automatics and dual-clutch transmissions out today
It would be great to buy a manual again without upsetting the wife

The Canisius ticket office has announced a capacity crowd for the women's basketball game against Monmouth University on Friday, Jan. 17, in the Koessler Athletic Center.
More than 2,000 students from local schools will be in attendance when the Golden Griffins face the Hawks. Canisius will have a capacity crowd for Kid's Day for the fourth consecutive season.
Canisius is 7-2 in its last nine Kid's Day games in the Koessler Athletic Center.
"Kid's Day is one of the annual highlights on our home schedule. We love having a packed Koessler Athletic Center full of local students," Canisius coach Terry Zeh said. "Their enthusiasm has given us a lot of energy and definitely has helped us to some exciting wins during the past few years."
Last season, Canisius defeated Siena 65-62 on the heels of a half-court buzzer-beater from Tiahana Mills that earned the No. 1 spot on Top Play on ESPN's SportsCenter. In 2012, Canisius rallied from a 12-point second-half deficit to defeat Iona in overtime. In 2010, Canisius defeated Manhattan 69-65 in double overtime, and in 2008, Canisius rallied from a 57-50 deficit by scoring eight points in the final 75 seconds to defeat Fairfield by one.
Canisius returns to the court on Saturday, when the Golden Griffins open MAAC play against new league member Quinnipiac. Tipoff in the first game of the doubleheader at the KAC is set for 2 p.m.

The Binghamton University men's and women's swimming and diving teams traveled to Buffalo and swept Canisius College on Sunday afternoon in the Koessler Athletic Center pool, with the Bearcats winning on the men's side by a score of 199-101 and in the women's event by a final tally of 191-109.
The Golden Griffins' 200-yard medley relay team of Shawn Parkhurst, Tyler Carver, Sean Stegmoller and Nick Sereday set a new pool record in the day's second event, as the Griffs won that race with a final time of 1:36.23, besting the previous record by .43 seconds. Individually, Parkhurst also set the pool record in the men's 200 butterfly with his time of 1:52.55, 1.74 seconds faster than the previous pool record set by St. Bonaventure's Elias Homerin earlier this season. On the women's side, Canisius freshman Clare Battaglia set a new Koessler pool record in the 100-yard backstroke with her time of 1:00:12, which was .38 seconds faster than the previous pool mark, which was set in 2008-09.
"This was a chance for us to get our team to compete in the events they will be swimming at the MAAC Championships in February," Canisius head coach Scott Vanderzell said. "I thought we did a pretty good job today despite the score. This was a good chance for us to learn some things in races and understand some of the smaller points that will be crucial toward our success when we get to the conference championships in a few months."
