A threatened miscarriage is a condition that suggests a miscarriage might take place before the 20th week of pregnancy.
Threatened miscarriage; Threatened spontaneous abortion; Abortion - threatened; Threatened abortion
Some pregnant women have some vaginal bleeding, with or without abdominal cramps, during the first three months of pregnancy. When the symptoms indicate a miscarriage is possible, the condition is called a "threatened abortion." (This refers to a naturally occurring event, not medical abortions or surgical abortions.)
Miscarriage occurs in about half of pregnancies that have first trimester bleeding.
Symptoms of a threatened miscarriage include:
Note: During an actual miscarriage, low back pain or abdominal pain (dull to sharp, constant to intermittent) can occur. Tissue or clot-like material may pass from the vagina.
Abdominal or vaginal ultrasound may be done to check the baby's development, heart beat, and amount of bleeding. A pelvic exam will be done to check the cervix.
The following blood tests may be performed:
You may be told to avoid or restrict some forms of activity. Not having sexual intercourse is usually recommended until the warning signs have disappeared.
The use of progesterone is controversial. It might relax smooth muscles, including the muscles of the uterus. However, it also might increase the risk of an incomplete abortion or an abnormal pregnancy. Unless there is a luteal phase defect, progesterone should not be used. Your doctor can tell you more about this.
Many women with threatened miscarriage go on to have a normal pregnancy.
If you know you are (or are likely to be) pregnant and you have any symptoms of threatened miscarriage, contact your prenatal health care provider right away.
Women who get prenatal care have better pregnancy outcomes for themselves and their babies. Miscarriages are less likely when you receive early prenatal care. And a healthy pregnancy is more likely when you avoid things that are hamful to your pregnancy such as x-rays, recreational drugs, alcohol, high caffeine intake, and infectious diseases.
It is better to treat health problems before you get pregnant than to wait until you are already pregnant. Miscarriages that are caused by body-wide (systemic) diseases can be prevented by detecting and treating the disease before becoming pregnant. Being obese or having uncontrolled diabetes can increase your risk of miscarriage.

CNN's Zahn and Johns followed GOP talking points on Social Security: referred to "reform" and "private accounts" rather than privatization
Research ››› ››› NICOLE CASTA
During his November 4 press conference, President George W. Bush made clear that Social Security privatization would be at the top of his second-term agenda. But after the term "privatization" was deemed unpopular, a 2002 Republican memo directed "GOP incumbents and candidates" to "insist that reporters" not use the word to describe proposed Republican Social Security policy. On the November 8 edition of CNN's Paula Zahn Now, host Zahn and CNN congressional correspondent Joe Johns echoed Republican talking points on the issue, referring to Bush's plans as "reforming Social Security" and "creating private accounts in Social Security." Later that night, right-wing author and direct-mail pioneer Richard A. Viguerie proved this point during an appearance on CNN's NewsNight.
From the November 8 edition of CNN's NewsNight with Aaron Brown:
AARON BROWN (host): Do you feel strongly that Social Security needs to be in part privatized, if you will?
VIGUERIE: Well, conservatives think of it and Republicans, I think, Aaron, as private accounts, that young people -- we want to protect Social Security for those who are in the system now or about to come into the Social Security program.
But the young people now don't feel they're going to get the Social Security. And I think everybody pretty much recognizes it is broken. It's got to be fixed or it won't be there for the young people. And conservatives, Republicans, many Americans are excited about reforming Social Security. It just has to be done.
From the November 8 edition of CNN's Paula Zahn Now:
ZAHN: Longer-term [Bush] priorities include: tax simplification, reforming Social Security and education, plus Iraq and the war on terror.
JOHNS: But moderates and conservatives can disagree on more than just judges. From gay marriage to the Patriot Act to creating private accounts in Social Security, to tax cuts to tax reform, the math in the Congress works in the president's favor to stay the conservative course.
As journalist and blogger Joshua Micah Marshall noted in his Talking Points Memo weblog on September 6, 2002, the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) issued a memo on August 26, 2002, that instructed "GOP incumbents and candidates" to "insist that reporters" not use the term "privatization." The memo claimed:
Democrats are doing all they can to blur the very important distinction between 'personal accounts' and 'privatization.' They are employing the word 'privatization' for the specific purpose of eliciting negative reactions among seniors because it carries connotations of dismantling the publicly run Social Security system. 'Privatization' is a false and misleading word insofar as it is being used by Democrats to describe Republican positions on Social Security.
But as Ramesh Ponnuru, a senior editor of the conservative National Review, stated in a September 4, 2002, National Review Online article:
The Republican memo is a piece of brazen historical revisionism. It pretends that the word "privatization" was invented by Democratic spinners and then accepted by a gullible media. It makes no mention of the incontrovertible fact that "privatization" was the term used by many Republican (and other) advocates of personal accounts until it turned out that the word didn't poll well.
Around the time the Republican memo was released, the conservative Cato Institute -- a long-time leading advocate of Social Security privatization -- abruptly and retroactively changed the name of its Project on Social Security Privatization to Project on Social Security Choice, as archived copies of the project's Web page from August 6, 2002, and September 14, 2002, demonstrate.
In the past, Zahn has described Bush's Social Security policy proposals as "privatization"; for example, on October 7, she referred to "the Bush plan to privatize Social Security." November 8 was the first time since Bush's reelection that Zahn and Johns had addressed Bush's plans for Social Security. On the November 3 edition of Paula Zahn Now, CNN senior White House correspondent John King referred to "Social Security revamping" as one of Bush's "major initiatives."

Is it this one?
It's almost a hobby of mine to search around the internet to find online gun dealers. I like looking at what they've got, and I like seeing the prices, because it helps when it comes time to haggle. I especially like looking at the used handguns.
So which are your favorites? I generally buy locally, but as I said, I like to look around. Post up any you know of.
Oh, there was one shop I found of a fellow that sells mostly remanufactured and police confiscated guns. I loved his site, but I can't find it anymore - I thought I had put it into my favorites folder, but alas, it is not there! Does that familiar to any of you out there? Help me out - I'd love to find that site again.
Well, there's always budsgunshop.com. Their prices seem to be comparable to CDNN's.
I prefer impactguns.com because their prices are a little more 'realistic' to what I will see in a local store.
I keep Summit in my Favorites File. I check them weekly. I have also posted it for other to see. His new Glock prices must be very good. You have to e-mail him for them.

Welcome to Talking Heads.
Before and after every first-team fixture, our MatchDay Show guest and an Arsenal blogger will have their say on the game.
Arsenal took on Norwich City in the Premier League on Saturday and our Talking Heads for this game were former Gunner Stephen Hughes and Graeme Rawlings aka Wigan Gooner.
Read on for their verdict on the Norwich game.
It was a really disappointing result and every player will have gone home and thought about their individual performance. Not many will have been satisfied. Norwich are on a bad run and that makes it even worse than the actual result.
I don't think the team underestimated Norwich. They were always going to play with one up front, pack the midfield and try to nick something on the counter. Once they got the goal, they had something to hold on to. I think they would have been happy with a draw but to actually win the game will leave them absolutely delighted.
Maybe the international break interfered with Arsenal's momentum. The team didn't deserve to win. They didn't look sharp and got what they deserved. It was a very un-Arsenal-like performance.
You have to become consistent if you're going to challenge in the league. You need to pick up points when you're not playing well. For me that's key. That's the sign of a real top side.
I was pleased to see Serge Gnabry make his Permier League debut. I know the Club have really high hopes for him and he looks big, strong and comfortable on the ball. I'm pretty sure he's got a fantastic career ahead of him. We were well below par but the main thing is the two games coming up this week. We need to win those.
Arsenal are in very good form going into the game. Norwich are usually quite difficult to beat at home and Carrow Road is a tough place to go to. They've been going through a bit of a barren spell and will be looking to bounce back.
Norwich's start has been far from easy, but they have been conceding a lot of goals. I'm sure they'll have worked on being harder to break down during the international break. I don't think Arsenal have anything to fear, but it will be a tough test.
Olivier Giroud looks to be getting into some good form. He's a different type of centre forward to what we're used to. He's a big, strong target man who is good in the air and works really hard. Now he's scored some goals he willl hopefully have some more belief in himself. I'm delighted for Giroud. I think he'll be a big player this season.
It's very difficult when a lot of players go away on international duty, and Arsenal have so many players that represent their countries. They have to recover from their matches and some will have done a lot of travelling. It's never easy to have one day of training and then get back into the right frame of mind for a game. Hopefully they will be able to build on that outstanding win against West Ham last time out.
I think there will be goals again. Arsenal will be a real threat going forward and I think they will win 3-1.
Arsenal started like I'd hoped they would. They played with a frenetic pace and a massive desire with Santos, Cazorla and Podolski a lively combination down the left. We looked dangerous when we played our football, but time went on and the goal didn't come. I felt at times we were just trying too hard - trying to force a goal. And Norwich's goal - completely against the run of play - knocked us off our stride. We lost our style as Norwich denied us space in the centre. Cazorla became isolated and wasn't able to influence the play as he normally can.
Ramsey kept working hard to create space and opportunities, but Norwich were relentless in their work-rate and team work. In the end Arsenal were limited to pushing the ball out wide to Jenkinson, Gervinho and Santos. The crossing was decent, but Turner and Bassong are good in the air and defended well, restricting Giroud to scraps. It looked briefly like the Ox could make a difference but his injury - inflicted seconds after he had come on - summed up Arsenal's day. Now we need to forget this swiftly, because the Schalke game approaches and we will need to return to form if we are going to get a positive result.
Coming off the back of an exciting, marker-setting win at West Ham, you could be easily swayed into believing an away game at Carrow Road would be a routine victory in a season where our teamwork, desire and verve has proven very effective against the very best. However, international breaks have a way of disrupting the rhythm of a side, especially one that relies so much on an almost telepathic level of communication and understanding. Our football at times this season has been sublime - world-class, skilful, one-touch passing football orchestrated by the master, Santi Cazorla.
Of our first team that started against West Ham, only four players did not participate with their national teams over the break while the others returned from duty in reasonably good health - a notable exception being Theo Walcott after that rather agricultural challenge against San Marino. As for Norwich, their manager Chris Hughton has had rather mixed fortunes after taking over in the summer from Paul Lambert. They have yet to win a game in the Premier League this year, with their record so far being W0 L4 D3. However, as with all of Hughton's teams they have a great work ethic and an excellent team spirit. Arsenal will have to be sharp, focused and ready, because they will be ready for us. Nothing less than the best will win the game for us on Saturday.

We have ALOT of dandelions and those small white flowers that also cover are yard, plus alot of clover grows around here. This is why I was asking if I should plant 3 acres of wild flowers. thanks
I am planning to use the sunflowers now to make a nice mild honey. bye
Ok, so sunflowers are out of the question. Was it alfalfa that makes good honey or was it clover? That is something else I could plant becuase we can harvest it a few times to put up for the winter for my other animals. bye

In my blog post yesterday, I asked whether you should be running your software organization as a business that delivers products. Today I will explore what it means for you to take this approach.
As Forrester has pointed out in past research, to move forward in a product-centric way, you must establish a number of capabilities in your organization in a product-centric operating model:
I used to make a living doing product management and running product management organizations, as did a number of people at Forrester. My perspective on product management is somewhat distinct because I started out on the product engineering side, leading product development organizations. But between my first ISV and my second, I saw the contrast between weak, ineffective product management and strong, effective product management. When strong product management is in balance with an effective engineering group, well aligned, it's a beautiful thing to see. The weak option? You don't want to know – it was too painful to remember.
Posted by Mike Gilpin on April 23, 2012
Is it hard to focus your software delivery organization on the right things? Do you sometimes deliver the wrong features or give too little priority to the most important features? Are you drowning in the cost of too much redundant software, because stakeholders can't get on one page about what the business really needs? Do you struggle to make the case for investments you know are essential to your long-term survival but that deliver few short-term benefits? If so, consider the benefits of running your shop more like a business by reorganizing to deliver products (or value streams, in Lean lingo).
It's been more than two years since we last surveyed software delivery leaders about their increasing tendency to organize to deliver software as products (rather than projects or application functional areas), but even then this trend was well under way:
I have only anecdotal evidence that this trend is continuing to grow, but I'm convinced by hundreds of interactions with top software delivery leaders since we did this survey that it is, especially for people who deliver customer-facing websites and mobile apps. Customer-facing dynamics are also driving this trend for the "Internet of things" among firms focused on Smart Grid and other similar domains that depend on customer adoption to drive success. What are the factors driving this growth?

I'm getting to that part of my armor and need some good photos. Are they the same as boba's minus the elastic and just the silver color? I seem to remember all of the darts being the same length but maybe I'm crazy. Thanks

I'm getting to that part of my armor and need some good photos. Are they the same as boba's minus the elastic and just the silver color? I seem to remember all of the darts being the same length but maybe I'm crazy. Thanks
I think they are the same with the exception that all four are un-fired.
From StarWars.com:
Is it just me or is the top one a larger diameter than the bottom knee dart?
You're not seeing things...the top dart IS larger than the bottom. The bottom dart is the same size as a BF ROTJ knee dart...
The sections seem to be the same length, just the diameter is smaller.
I hope that he doesn't mind, but I found these pics at Max Plague's site
It appears that the 4th section of the darts are absent on the left knee in some pics.
Expertly crafted by Chuck R. from this board,I offer fiberglass castings of these knees:
Email firstname.lastname@example.com
can be battle damaged (replace a dart with a cone) and you have Boba's.
Thought this would be good info for this thread:Quote:
bigkidbiggertoys wrote:I cut the basic shape out of 1/8" sintra & added the curves with a heat gun until I was satisfied with the shape. The actual knee part was a piece of 1/4" sintra shaped to the same curve & glued on top. I then rough sanded with 60 grit sandpaper & filled in the gaps with bondo and sanded until I got the shape I desired. The knee darts are acrylic tubing. I used 1/2" OD & 1/2" ID for this. Very simple & it worked very well without adding weight. The attachment point is two pieces of 1/2" sinra again, cut, sanded & filled. The f shape is another 1/8" piece of sintra. There is enough flex in them to allow freedom of movement without fear of them cracking & the bondo popping off.
Okay, I'm having issues with the darts and housing. I'm VERY satisfied with my knee armor (it took me forever to form it, but I got it to near perfection), but my darts w/housing are clumsy, ugly, and heavy. Anyone know where I can get JUST the darts w/housing? It doesn't look like I'll have this thing done by Halloween anyway, so I can wait for the shipping.
I've been making my knee darts from looking at Mirax H's knee darts. Knee darts are made from nylon spacers found at your local hardware store. When I asked Mirax what size of nylon spacers that she bought she said that she'd forgot. So here's the help.
Each knee dart has 4 sections.
Top Knee Dart:
1. 1/2 x .375 x 5/8
2. Glue 3 3/4 x 1/2 x 3/8 pieces and sand them to make the length of spacers approx. 1".
3. 1/2 x .257 x 1/4
4. Glue 2 3/4 x 1/2 x 3/8 pieces.
Bottom Knee Dart:
5. 3/8 x .171 x 1/2
6. 1/2 x .328 x 1
7. 3/8 x .171 x 1/2
8. 1/2 x .375 x 5/8
Glue all 4 section pieces of the top & bottom knee darts together. Sand glued pieces to smoothen the section piece. Finally, spray paint them metallic silver.
I hope that helps everyone.
Being inspired by Mirax's handy work on doing your own armor, I decided to give it shot and rework my knees.
It will never end.
Next - the codpiece :lol
First 3 shots of the finished knees compare to ther real ones on the right. then some shots of the process.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
4.6 dohc
who carries an aftermarket wiring/comp kit for this engine? thanks
ok i have a ?
ok my name is Brittni im from Texas my dad works at ford and i have a Lincoln mark v8 and im trying to find out if it would fit into a 1969 grand t. coupe mustang???if u know anything please let me know
Here you go-
First let me say that I was a very die hard Chevy fan, and for years would consider nothing less........Then I got bored of always seeing the very popular and in most cases, boring Chevy 350/350 combo. I mean, come on....Hot Rods are suppose to be original in design and the owners interpitation of himself. Either we have a bunch of clones walking around or most just forgot the Hot Rod essences.
I was getting ready to start my current project, and started looking for an attractive alternative to the common V-8, I wanted a Ford for my Ford and started looking around. I didn't want anything carburated or overly popular, like the lack luster 5.0L Ford. Some think the Flathead is a good alternative, but even it too has been over used, especially lately. That Nailhead some seem to like, is also a pretty common and un-remarkable engine. I wanted my project to project the them of Old meets New, take the classic lines of the 33-34 Ford and combine them with the most modern conveniences available today. These means the most modern sequential electronic fuel injection systems of today. And I also wanted something that looked different, even if you had no ideal about modern engines, I wanted you to Say, wow, what is that! The only engine that meet all of my criteria, was the Ford 4.6L DOHC. Yes they do make a SOHC (single Over head Cam), but that is a much lower HP, less interesting engine, which is quite popular and easy to find. The DOHC, is really very rare, it was only used in the top of the line performance cars, from 94-2004. The early models were Lincoln's till 96, then they started putting them in Mustang Cobras. The early models have great aluminum blocks, Teksid, an Italian manufacturer that also makes Ferrir'es blocks. The 99 -2001 4V heads were refined and flowed better then the 96-98 heads. And the 2003-2004 heads are the best, and where only used on mostly supercharged engines, the exception being the NA Mach1.
I choose to buy a new 2004 Ford engine, a DOHC 32 valve super charged engine, by an Eaton blower. The engine factor puts out about 425HP, and has loads of torque. If you do run this engine, it is a tight fit, the block is not the problem, it's the heads. They are very wide, in fact they are wider then a Hemi head. The engine is state of the art, and if you follow engines much, most say the Ford guys copied the Ferrari V-8 which looks identical to the 4.6 DOHC, only the induction has been changed.
Installing this engine in a '33 ford frame, was not that bad, there are no engine mount kits available for the engine, but fabricating a set is relatively easy. The engine mounts have a large single stud, and that is easy to adapt. The engine is very heavy, probably the heaviest engine I have ever worked with, besides a Cummins diesel. The design is terrific, the block and bottom end are very, very robust. Each main cap has 4-bolts+2 bolts holes have alignment pins+ there are 2 bolts (one time torque to yield or jack bolts depends on year) that capture the main caps through the side of the block on each side. Also, all 5 main caps are the same, non of this 4-bolt mains on just the center three, like many other engines. There are many running these engines at over 1000HP with the stock block and stock forged Cobra crankshafts. Yes the COBRA or DOHC engines have Forged internals. The rods and pistons are forged H-beam Manly rod and pistons. The Crankshaft is forged with 8 bolts holding the fly wheel on, SOHC engines only have 6 bolts.
I simply love this engine, it has to be the best factory engine I have ever worked on, and it is my favorite out of all the engines I have, including my twin turbo-charged flat head. If you luck out and find a DOHC with the factory Eaton M112 blower, your not only lucky but you'll have a blast with this combination, especially mounted in a light weight rod. The main concern was the firewall clearance, like I said this engine is very wide at the heads. I had to purchase a Direct Sheet Metal BBC (big block Chevy) firewall and still section it 6", which is very considerable!!. The only other problem is the room for the steering shaft, but you will make it around that, with several u-joints.
The fun factor is out the window, this is one sweet engine, and it completes the Ford in a Ford ideal. If you are afraid of modern electronics, 1. do some reading and educate yourself. 2. Have someone else help you with that section. 3. get an old boring engine and follow the crowd.
For those wanting more information on the Cobra Engine or just wanting to follow Project COBRA'33 or Project Flathead visit the following link and follow the bottons.
Hey thanks oldschoolrods for the link good read. I'd rather not mess with EFI though, not on a tight budget. THanks guys,
The 4.6 dohc came in Mark VIIIs, '96-'04 Cobra, Aviator, and Continental (front wheel drive, won't fit rear wheel trany). The 5.4 dohc came in the Navigator and GT (GT40).
The aluminum block 4.6 dohc has 6-bolt mains.
They're swapping the 4.6 dohc engines into all sorts of vehicles. You can even get a swap kit to put one in a Focus! And it all bolts in, even the mustang 8.8" rear axle.
I dropped one into my '98 Ranger and it really wasn't all that difficult.
|nightfire: http://www.hotrodders.com/forum/how-...ion-76114.html that is a link to a post schnitz made about how efi works, hope that helps if you go the efi route.
Nightfire, don't let EFI intimidate you! Yes, there is a bit of a leraning curve, but if you buy the whole vehicle and swap the stock engine in with the wiring harness, there isn't usually a problem -- not if the engine was running to begin with. I have a Jeep EFI 4.0L in my 1963 Rambler. I did this about seven years ago, one of the first 2-3 people to do it in a Rambler. The 4.0L is a natural for older Ramblers -- it's basically the same as the original Rambler six introduced in 1964 with a new head and EFI added. You can even bolt a 2005 4.0L Jeep head onto a 1964 Rambler 232 block, and that's a common upgrade for later 258 sixes in Jeeps.
I started by getting a wiring diagram for the 88 Jeep donor and my Rambler. I thought I could get rid of a lot of wiring, but after tracing there was no need. For any vehicle, start at the computer. Follow the harness around the engine compartment, and pull everything connected to it. You'll find a relay center somewhere with 3-5 relays and some connectors. That drives things like the fuel pump and AC compressor, and usually the ignition. Mount everything back in the receiving vehicle. It will be hard to hide some things in a T-bucket, but you can lengthen some wires. I've seen one T with an EFI engine. The computer was hid behind the firewall on the drivers side, just to the left of the steering column. The relay center was mounted on the opposite side of the firewall (in the bucket), with most wiring between the two under the dash.
I seem to recall it being a TBI SBC, but it may have been a Ford 302 -- I was paying more attention to the wiring, and it was a few years ago. I do remember it was a TBI and not port injection. There was a large chrome air cleaner on it that hid the TBI unit, so you couldn't tell it was EFI without closely looking. A multi point EFI will be a bit more visible, but not much more wiring. The fuel injectors and fuel rails will be visible.
I made an adapter to mount a standard type open air filter on my Jeep 4.0L. Most people don't realize it's EFI until they look close -- they see the filter and assume a carb is under it! Most who swap in the 4.0L into an older Jeep or Rambler/AMC car leave the "hose" attached to the throttle body with a cone filter on the end, or an aftermarket tube and cone filter.
Stick with a pre-96 EFI and it's pretty easy to install in another car. Later models aren't to difficult either IF you get one without the security features. Unfortunately that means the low end cars, which will more likely have fours and maybe a small V-6. They are usually difficult to switch to rear drive anyway, unless you get one from a small truck. An S-10 with a V-6 would be a nice choice for a T-bucket, just make sure it's an 85 or later if a 2.8L -- there were problems with the rear seal in earlier ones that were solved with a redesign for 85 models. Even a 2.5L four is plenty fun in a T-bucket, and looks good. I've seen one with four motorcycle carb on the side that was killer! You'd think the carbs weren't big enough (from a 1000 cc bike), but most bike engines turn around twice the rpm the four will, so they have to pass that much more air.
Since budget is limited, find a good used RUNNING engine (preferably the entire vehicle) to use. Doesn't even matter if it's high mileage as long as it runs good. The T is so light it won't strain the engine much, and you can rebuild in a year or two if necessary when you have better funding. You really shouldn't have a problem finding a car with 60-100K on it. EFI engines tend to last a lot longer than carb engines because there is less soot and raw fuel dumped into the oil from running rich. A carb always runs rich at some point or other -- you can only mechanically regulate the air/fuel mixture so good! EFI does a much better job -- it's like having a tune up every 30 seconds or so.
you can buy aftermarket computers and wiring for the ford 4.6 DOHC & SOHC Engines, and have computer & engine wiring built to fit your needs. a friend of mine is doing a 63 galaxie 2dr fastback with a 4.6 SOHC Motor outa a 98 or 99 crown vic police car, it hit a cow when it had 36,000mi on it, real cold the day of the state auction, and he bought the complete car for $750. hes using it with a aftermarket computer and wiring. hes running no catalytic converters ect.
Nailheads are quite scarce here and expensive. I dont want another SBC or SBF if I can avoid it. The only options (cheap options that is) are a 318 or a 460 that can still be gotten for quite cheap in mopar trucks. If possible I dont wanna have anthing to do with EFI. A stovebolt would be neat, but I also want some power plus I already have a straight 6 in my truck.
|How about a Chevy 181 4cyl from a marine application ( only used in marine, but same designe motor as 151 4cyl from the Nova's ) They retain the same bolt pattern as regular Chevy's
swap a SOHC in there and resell! most people wouldn't know the difference
If you want a different engine nightfire, try a Buick Nailhead v8 (up to 401c.i. from the factory), LS1s are getting less expensive a'la Ford SOHC/DOHC v8s, and Edelbrock makes a carb swap kit for the LS1.
Also, GM 5.3L (325ci) and 6.0L (362ci) v8s are essentially the same design as the LS1, and that 4.8?L v8 might be.
An old inline six would be neat in an old rod
EDIT: in the end, it's your ride. Consider your options, and make something unique. SBCs are cheap and simple, but are as common as green grass in people's front yards. I have heard of people using GM Quad4 4bangers in rwd applications, and they are alot easier to service that way than mounted the wrong way, as seen in my buddy's grand am (PITA to service, try putting in a t-stat on the thing ) Or- a 3.1 or 3.8L v6 from a base Camaro/Firebird would be neat also. Take a 3.1 and use the alumanum heads from a late model 3.4 (same engine just different internals).

Hi all, I've just registered to find out more on how to build up a Fett Helmet. Just finished a ANH TK lid, and Rubies Darth Mod, so thought I'd tackle an ASOK CC fett next.
I'm thinking of doing the layering/ liquid mask with stencil technique. Any advice would be appreciated as I'm a newbie to Fett.
Do you need primer for the ASOK CC?

Here are a few pics of my ESB blaster build. I bought parts from various sources before I decided to do a ROTJ Fett, thought I'd put it together anyway and sell it on.
Some parts required a lot of filling and sanding before they were usable.
All parts are resin casts except for the scope (real 4x20) and the 1 1/2 pipe. The pipe is used as a cheaper/lighter alternative to a MPP/Heiland tube. It can be removed easily.
Some parts have been primed, others primed and sprayed, just slotted it together to see what it would look like.
Will update later with finished pics. Probably end up in the cargo hold at some stage if anyone was interested. Not sure of price just yet.

PHOTOS: RTA donates vintage trolleys
(Seville) - Who remembers riding a trolley in Cleveland?
The number of people who raised their hand is dwindling since the last Cleveland Transit System streetcar ran in 1954. The last regional trolley, the Shaker Rapid, ceased operations in 1960.
Now the last of the Cleveland streetcars have been sent to the Northern Ohio Railway Museum in Seville, Ohio, by the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority.
The museum's Steven Heister says three cars were delivered this week at a cost of $13,000. Heister says they've raised half that cost through fundraising, and hope to raise the rest.
As for the new cars? Heister says they're beautiful.
Heister says Cleveland Transit System Rapid Transit Car 109 was fully restored in 1990.
Cleveland Transit System Line Car 024 was built by CTS in 1960 from Shaker Heights Rapid Transit Car 17.
But the real gem, according to Heister, is Shaker Heights Rapid Transit Car 12. He calls it Cleveland's most recognized fantrip car. When the Shaker Rapid stopped using trolleys, Car 12 was spared for touring purposes and special events. It ran until 1990 when it was finally mothballed.
All three cars have been stored at an RTA facility on Brookpark Road, but RTA needed the space and has donated the cars to the Northern Ohio Railway Museum.
So when can you see the cars? Heister says the museum is open Saturday through October and they'll be on special display this weekend.
Click here for more pictures of the trolleys and their transporting!
RTA provided this video of Cleveland Transit System Line Car 024 being transported.
The Northern Ohio Railway Museum's mission is to collect, preserve, restore, display, and operate streetcars and other electric railway equipment for the education and enjoyment of the public. The museum owns fifty acres of land in southern Medina County, including two miles of the former Cleveland and Southwestern interurban railroad.
At this site the Museum has built over a mile of track and three large buildings to house its collection of historic trolleys, interurbans, and rapid transit cars, most from the northern Ohio area.
Five pieces of the collection have been restored and others are currently being restored.

Arsenal Football Club's outstanding commitment to the local community has been recognised once again, after the Club continued its long history of success in the National Kickz Awards by winning another prestigious award at the 2012 ceremony.
Davis Rizzolo took home the Inspirational Person award at the ceremony this month, which was held at Manchester City's Etihad Stadium and showcased the most inspiring young individuals who have made a difference to their community as part of the Kickz programme.
Kickz uses the power of football to build safer, stronger and more respectful communities through the development of young people's potential. All of the programmes adopt a targeted approach that connect to the many social issues facing young people as they grow up in inner city areas, providing a variety of activities including football, other sports, music and arts, combined with volunteering, training and part-time employment opportunities.
The programmes also offer advice and guidance on a number of issues such as sexual health, drug and alcohol misuse and the dangers of involvement in gangs and knife crime.
Arsenal's first Kickz project began at Elthorne Park, Islington in 2006 and Arsenal in the Community staff now deliver a total of six projects, three nights a week and all-year round across the London boroughs of Islington, Camden, Hackney and Westminster; delivered in partnership with the Metropolitan Police and local authorities.
Davis has been one of the Arsenal Kickz programme's biggest success stories since joining the programme in January 2010. Despite a troubled past, he quickly showed a determination to turn his life around by enrolling on an employability apprenticeship and achieving a number of qualifications. He now works on Kickz sessions at Rosemary Gardens in Islington and Petchey Academy in Hackney, using his own personal experiences to positively influence other young men to follow a better path in life.
The awards, organised by the Football Foundation, Metropolitan Police and Premier League, also recognised the strong national and local partnerships that lie behind Kickz.
Former Gunners captain and Manchester City ambassador Patrick Vieira said: "Schemes like this are fantastic because as a football club we have a responsibility to try to help the kids around the local community to achieve their dreams. I am sure some of them will want to play for their football clubs, some of them will have dreams and may not have the tools to achieve them. Every kid all around the world is playing football and as the number one sport in the world we have a duty to give back to society."
Richard Scudamore, Premier League Chief Executive added: "Kickz has made remarkable progress with an impact that is unrivalled. The Kickz Awards are all about the young people, volunteers, partners and staff involved with the programme and their achievements and positive commitment - it was an incredibly difficult job to choose winners in what was our best ever year for entries.
"I would like to personally thank all 43 professional football clubs and the national network of over 650 local partners for their ongoing support so far with Kickz and look forward to it progressing through 2012 and beyond with the continued support from the Metropolitan Police and the Premier League."
Reflecting on the awards and Davis' achievement, Ivan Gazidis, Arsenal Football Club CEO, said: "Community is at the very heart of Arsenal Football Club and we are immensely proud of the work undertaken by our dedicated Community department and the meaningful difference that they make to people's lives in many different ways.
"To be recognised once again at these awards is testament to the outstanding work that they do to address the many social issues facing young people as they grow up in London's inner city areas. I'd like to extend our congratulations to Davis and indeed the whole Arsenal in the Community team for this wonderful achievement."

Which, as it turns out, has been Renner's routine effort lately. Thursday marked his third-straight game throwing for more than 300 yards. He connected with Bernard in the fourth quarter for a 23-yard scoring strike to cross the 3,000-yard plateau for the season.
T.J. Yates became the only Tar Heel quarterback in school history to eclipse that threshold in 2010. Renner has now accomplished that feat in consecutive seasons (3,086 in '11; 3,051 in '12).
His three touchdown passes against the Cavaliers moves him to within three of tying his own school record of 26.
Renner currently ranks third all-time in school history in career touchdown passes (49), career completions (488) and career passing yards (6,151). If he delivers a similar season in 2013 as he has in 2011 and 2012, Renner will sit atop all of the significant passing statistical categories in UNC's record book.
Granted, Fedora's no-huddle spread offense is designed to put up substantial numbers.
Remember, though, that Renner spent his first three seasons at UNC playing in a pro-style offense for former NFL technician John Shoop. And remember that midway through spring practice offensive coordinator Blake Anderson was not exactly sure if Renner would be able to pick up the offense.
The West Springfield, Va. native is still working on a significant learning curve, but has been posting record-breaking numbers along the way.
"The bad thing about it is we've only got one game left and he's probably as confident as he's been in the offense the last three weeks," head coach Larry Fedora said. "He feels very comfortable and we're just running out of time."
Renner agrees.
"Now that we're going into the last game of the season, this is the most comfortable I've felt so far, as far as just knowing where to go with the ball and really checking the ball down," Renner said. "I'm not trying to force too many things. I'm going to be hard on myself, but I think it's finally clicked for me."
That could be bad news both for the UNC record books and for opponents on next season's schedule.


text: Let the Sunshine In Daylight modeling can help you design more enjoyable and sustainable interiors—here's how. * required fields From* To* Message cancel As designers and architects, we're always looking for ways to create spaces that inspire our clients to live life to its fullest potential. A thoughtful space connects us to our outside environment and makes us feel welcomed and productive. The use of natural light plays a major part in the creation of these sorts of places, while also appealing to our commitment to sustainable design. No matter what you're designing, bringing more daylight into your space is never a wrong decision. Of course, that doesn't necessarily make it easy. Even the most seasoned designers frequently find themselves asking questions like: What is the right amount of light for a given space? How will I know I am satisfying lighting criteria for LEED, CHPS, etc.? How do I convey to my clients the importance of introducing daylight in a way that's meaningful and understandable? And while some of these questions are more technical than others, the good news is that daylight modeling can answer all of them and more. If you're not already familiar, daylight modeling is a computer simulation that allows you to use real-life conditions to properly design a space before purchasing costly building materials and products that may not provide the natural lighting levels you require. By treating the building as a light source, you can pinpoint opportunities to adjust your design for optimum efficiency. the process To do this, you will need to work with a daylight analyst/modeler, who is a design professional specially trained in daylighting and lighting analysis. The modeler will begin by creating a three-dimensional model of your proposed building or space using any number of different software programs currently on the market. These programs will take into account site conditions such as surrounding buildings, ground conditions and other special considerations that will affect the amount of daylight reaching the analysis area. The analyst will then assign materials to the different surfaces within the model (floors, walls, windows, etc.) that express your design. Material "files" are created by measuring the individual components of a material—say, a surfacing panel—and determining its transparency, translucency, secularity, surface roughness, reflectivity and coloration. Windows 7 from Lawrence Berkley National Labs is one such source for creating material files for complex fenestration, although not all files are available this way, so sometimes you must create them yourself. Creating custom files, while not a very user-friendly process, can be done using the manufacturer's data or measured data from a third-party independent lab. After your materials have been created and assigned to the various surfaces in your space, the analyst will import a TMY3 weather file (standing for "Typical Metrological Year, Third Generation") to the model; these can be obtained from the U.S. Department of Energy or building performance analysis and consulting companies. Used for computer simulations, these files contain data sets of hourly values of solar radiation and meteorological elements for a 1-year period for 1,020 locations, making it very accurate. (Having an accurate weather file means that the simulation will use real-world conditions for your project, as opposed to factitious computer-generated conditions.) The next—and arguably most important—step is to export the model to a validated ray-tracer like Radiance or Mental Ray. A ray-tracer is an application that takes all of the model information into account and then, simply put, turns on the sun for the model's global position and sky condition. The ray-tracer sends millions of rays out, recording the levels as they bounce around and hit the analysis grid. Once those results are imported back into the original model, they can be analyzed to see if the design meets your specific criteria. If not, you can adjust your design accordingly to optimize the daylight within the space. Daylight modeling can take anywhere from 2-3 weeks (or longer) from the time that the analyst receives all of the required information. You can speed up the process by having all of the required information available, which includes—but is not limited to—floor plans, a site plan, a roof plan, elevations and sections. You will also need information on the types of materials used, fenestration visual transmittance, the surrounding buildings or conditions, the project location and the design's intended use.

AILA Doc. No. 12032175 | Dated November 29, 2012
The Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act (DREAM) is a bipartisan proposal that would provide a conditional path to legal permanent residence for certain unauthorized youth who, as children, were brought to the U.S. To qualify they must complete high school, demonstrate good moral character, and complete at least two years of higher education or serve for at least two years in the U.S. military, among other criteria
On 12/18/10, the Senate failed on a motion to invoke cloture on the DREAM Act (H.R. 5281) by a 55-41 vote. The failed vote meant that the DREAM Act would not progress any further in the Senate.

Yeah, the Germans had some bad ass equiptment. A Sherman tank looks like a toy next to the Tiger.

If I'm going to wear a shirt that looks just like The Great Wave, I might as well get a shirt with the actual Great Wave. This shirt isn't original at all, though some people have said it is - compare it to the original image. Even the shape and placement of the waves are the same. Only difference is the lack of boats and some strange detailing in the wave crest that just isn't different enough.
Sorry, nice try, but it's still not really appealing to many of us art people.
I like this shirt and want to get it but I need some size help from somebody. A small woot shirt is a little too tight on me so Im thinking of getting a medium but I don't want it really baggy on me. Does anyone know if a medium is drastically bigger than a small?
mjc613 wrote:I totally disagree with you. Here is an example of a shirt that belies your point.
This is incredible because I was originally going to say "You don't see a lot of people walking around with the Mona Lisa on their shirt."
It may not be Van Gogh, but the main page pretty much nails it. It's better than another thinly veiled video game reference, a horrible pun, or snarky animals. If it was reverse psychology, well, it worked. In for one.
psyddicus wrote:This is incredible because I was originally going to say "You don't see a lot of people walking around with the Mona Lisa on their shirt."
I think the point still stands. Just because the shirt exists doesn't mean a lot of people are going around wearing it.
Sorry jimi, I'm with the majority on this one. Great art, beautiful style and all that, but no real concept that I can see. I think you've done way better.
can someone offer some insight?
@Erving - For me a small I accidentally got one time was way too small but medium fits me just right - so a decent difference between sizes. However those were the women's sizes so I don't know if it's the same for men's.
i just need to say the descriptions continue to be the main reason woot is so amazing

i fit better in a medium but i can wear a small. after the mediums go through the wash once they are almost too short for me though. i almost want to get larges sometimes. im like 6'+ tall so
You can check the American Apparel sizing chart. It gives exact sizes in inches, and is located at the bottom of the page.
Erving wrote:can someone offer some insight?
If you feel that Medium is too baggy, just shrink it down.
Stexe wrote:Huhm... the waves look oddly familiar to this clipart one I found for use in my art class... same curl and basic shape...
I guess there is only so much you can do with waves, but still seems a little strange.
Personally, if there is just a plain design on a t-shirt, I want it to be special. Like with special inks that makes it water color or spread around the whole shirt or something different. Congrats though...
well he dose also creat clipart packs so you might have one of his. Jimio has a nice cleen stile that lends its self to many different types of designs.
I was thrilled when I saw this design. I love Japanese wave style, and so does my husband. Finally was able to get a shirt for him from here. In fact, I got one for both of us.
I like this - I have a print of the 'original' on my wall.
I have seen quite a few different looking interpretations, and I don't see anything wrong with this one.
Woot: More like this, less cute animal nonsense please. Have some respect for yourselves.
Edit: Just checked my bank balance. In for one. Payday soon enough.
This is a nice design, is that Mt Fuji in the background? I lived in Japan for a year and they have a great love of Mt. Fuji and the sea, so this very much reminded me of the art work that I saw there.
Congratulations on the print.
I used to have a cool Mona shirt from the Pratt institute. It was done as a paint-by-number print, but some of the areas had Greek letters or symbols instead of numbers. Got lots of compliments on that one.
Didn't see one exactly like that on Cafe Press, but they had a gazillion different versions and parodies of Mona Lisa. Do they all sell? Maybe not, but I sure quite a few do.
I am also hoping to get a shirt with a parody of Whistler's Mother very soon.
I had to get it, although it looks like a rip off of Great Wave off of Kanagawa by Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai... I guess that's the appeal for me. Good job
Jimi I hope this sells out by 6 a.m. or sooner, cause you deserve it. I'm getting mine by tuesday, I'll be stylin it then.
ya, jimiyo!!!
Congrats on the daily, I've been waiting on this one to show up since you showed it to us a while ago! I'm down for two of these bad boys, great job! This will go nicely in my closet next to the Death on a Pale White UNICORN! I just got
oh, also, I'm still waiting on that trade for the crackers and rib...
Congrats Jimiyo! The design looks great!
Too bad woot can't print this huge and wide across the bottom, maybe even running onto the back a little. I'd have to hit that shirt. I'd hit it HARD. Kapow! Pew pew!
Moraiat wrote:Compulsively ordered this shirt due to The Great Wave off Kanagawa inspiration. I really like the design.
same here, also I thought it was beautiful and then got guilt-tripped by the text.
Congrats on the print. Nice looking? Yes. Original? Not so much as interpretive. Gonna buy? meh.
Don't have a problem with the cutesy and anthropomorphic. Sometimes those just resonate better with the concept they are conveying. Many times not. Would like more than the cartoony, BUT...
Went to the vaunted sites for "adults" and there's damned little I'd want from them. Not quite to the level of Art like someone crapping in a bottle of urine, but unappealing nonetheless. Better chance of getting something I like at shirt.woot. The designs may be a "sellout" in the opinion of some at shirt.woot, but still they are something that I'm not likely to see on tons of people while I'm walking about.
Best write-up ever, shirt.woot
in the sizing chart, it says a men's small fits 34-36 chest and a medium fits 38-40. so it's prob ~2 inches wider.
Holy Hokusai, Batman! Not inspired enough for me. It's a very nice design but it is far too similar to the Great Wave. However, I love all the other designs but I'm open to "higher" artistic renderings as well. This one bothers me somehow because I can only think of the original painting when I look at it.
* I took a longer look and I stand by what I said, but even on my computer I can tell it is a beautiful design by someone that respects Katsushika's mastery.
There is usually a fine line between inspired and "too similar."
Regardless, I love the illustration on this.
Thanks for all the positive comments and even the su.ck ones I think are funny cause I know Im pretty awesome.
Joel is Awesome.
Barbara is Awesome.
Woot is awesome.
Thanks for the opportunity!
I like it, but not much. I understand it's a Hokusai quote but I don't understand the point, y'know? There should be an inherent message in the reference and it's not showing up to my eye.
Wow, this shirt freaking rocks! Great job to the artist.
Love the art, love the colors, but I don't know... tough call...
In for one as a gift. Nice!
I like it. Personally, I don't care how similar it is the a famous piece of art--it's still pleasing to my eye. :D However, as I have 7 woot shirts in various stages of delivery, I can't in good conscience buy this one as well. O.o
Make the mailguys go faster Woot!
Jimiyo: you sir are no slouch. I'm in.
Woot: Hear that? I'm stepping up.
I'm in art retail and I'm glad I'm not too pretentious to wear this shirt. Thank you. I love it.
Want. So very want. I might buy it even though I can't wear it in Japan (people would look at me almost as strangely as if I wore a shirt with incorrect Japanese characters).
By the way, I spent a good deal of time analyzing and writing about the Hokusai's Great Wave and the rest of that series as well in college. Now I doubly love it.
Great job jimi~!
(and for those who may wonder, yes I have Zenne's Lady Out Of Water.)

Oh Hai Super! It's been a long while since I've seen you internetly.
Hope you are doing well in Japan. I bet the Japanese love you out there.
Yay, Jimiyo! It's very pretty and visually interesting. Congrats.
So today's the day. If you've had your fill of the adorable cannibal-animals and the anthropomorphic vegetables, here's your chance to step up or shut up – all in the name of art, of course.
Agree, and fed up with the cutesy carp. But problem is the design of this 'wave' is not well executed, IMV.
Just my worthless .02 cents.
This is nice, and I love the shirt description on the front page!

Are there any differences in the armor design between the basic clone trooper armor in EPII to EPIII? Other than the paint/markings and Helmets.
some minor sculping differences i think....minor to regular people...major to hard core fans
Pretty much no real differences. In other words, there is no separate Phase 1 or Phase 2 clonetrooper kit that you would need to purchase for one or the other.
their boots are a little bit different and the phase 2 has differently shaped shin protectors then the phase one that alow a bit more movement to the knee armorand the knee armor is a bit more curved on the phase 2 then on phase 1.so sonclusion is there is a difference in the phase 1 and phase 2 armor,unfortunatly there are none of those differences in the available phase 1 and phase 2 armor kits that you can get currently even tho there should be.
@72555 Taking these 2 pictures you provided as a reference- there are plenty of differences.
However they are both bit different from the actual "screen" ones (especially the phase 1...). It'd be best if you compared 2 pictures taken from the movie, otherwise it is just pointless.
Having said that- I agree with Foxbatkllr. You can argue about some little differences, but this doesn't change the fact that standard armor works fine for phase 1 and 2 with only different helmet.
72555, that picture of a phase 1 is a fanmade 3d model, not the real thing. That kind of throws your comparison out the window.
As an Admin and longtime member of the official 501st Clonetrooper detachment, as well as having built a full clone suit myself, I think I am qualified to speak on the differences between Phase 1 and Phase 2 armor. There are very, very minor differences. The differences are so minor that the best answer to a thread like this is to say that there are no real differences and that one suit of armor can work for both Phase 1 and Phase 2.
The biggest difference is the helmet. Nothing MAJOR.
I think I can also say there is no difference between the two, other than the helmet.
Hey guys- Im interested in a clone helmet.What are your thoughts on the efx clone helmets?

Hello everyone,
eslconsultants.com, agents from Qingdao, PRChina, picked my application from eslteachersboard. Having checked everything, they sent me a work contract starting on 01 Oct, but apparently then dropped the procedure and left me me hanging in mid-air. Mails keep coming, but from different people, who all apologise and need info...
Been asked to send my diplomas 4 times, the medical record twice; still trying to contact Chinese embassies - anybody else having bad experiences with eslconsultants.com (Amanda etc.)?

Through the preparation of a Position Description, a church or agency introduces its opportunity for student growth and learning through the required year-long field placement. The Position Description form requests information related to setting, range of opportunities available, and the supervision that will be provided for the student. Please supply enough information on the form so that the field education office and the inquiring student may have the distinctive details that show this place as a quality opportunity. The information should be typed.
The cover sheet will be filed separately so that access to the information can be controlled. The last two pages will be copied and posted, both on our bulletin board and online, and the original will be kept on file in the Field Education Office. Additional information such as detailed job descriptions, brochures, or reports from the church or agency may be supplied and will be kept on file also.
For employment/education of a student during the 2017-2018 academic year, position descriptions are due to the Field Education office no later than March 6, 2017. (Please note that this information can be submitted electronically.)
General Instructions
Position title: Most students in the field education program are designated as "student assistant" or "student assistant pastor (or minister)." More limited titles such as "youth director" or "Christian Education assistant" should be used if that is an honest representation of the student's responsibilities.
- Please save this form to your local hard drive Field Education Position Description Form
- Complete the form using Microsoft Word and save it with your church name as the filename
- Attach the form in an e-mail and send it to email@example.com
- If you have any questions or concerns about this form, please contact Holly McKelvey at 412-924-1415 or email@example.com.


text: Guys,I am a good friend of the Seaborns. They are still in business, right now they are in a bad shape. The tornado did extensive damage to their home as well as the whole community. As of Friday they still had no power or phone service in the area. Like I said lots of damage. They lost all their bees at their TN location, 70+ hives. They are still on track as far as I know. I bought 9 packages from them the day before the tornado.Bee patient, their trying to put their lives back together.
