SEAN WALSHAffiliation:
The United States Air Force Band
Carolina Philharmonic
Artist's BiographySean Walsh is a professional musician/instructor with over twenty years of trumpet performance experience and over 18 years of brass teaching experience. He is committed to excellence in teaching his students the fundamentals of music while helping them master their instruments. He teaches all levels of students with varying levels of proficiency from beginners to college and professionals.
After graduation from Boston University where he studied exclusively with the members of the Empire Brass, his training led him to win an audition with the prestigious United States Air Force Band where he would later perform for 15 years in Washington D.C. at the White House, Pentagon, Arlington Cemetery, The Kennedy Center and many others. During this time he also performed in 30 different countries and nearly every state in the united states performing clinics from brass ensembles to large band performances with choir, to include artists such as David Holsinger and Tony Bennett.
Since his retirement from active duty with The United States Air Force Band his performing skills are in high demand and he is consistently booked throughout the year. A student/colleague of the Empire Brass, Mr. Walsh is now committed to sharing and teaching the skills needed to be successful as a professional brass player and chamber music musician. Mr. Walsh has enjoyed performing as asuccessful contract musician with the local groups such as the North Carolina Symphony, Durham Performing Arts Center, Jens Lindemenn and other, and is focused on exploring the possibilities of established a strong brass and chamber music program available to talented students in the area in order to share knowledge and further the legacy of music. Mr. Walsh is very well connected in-residence with three separate school systems when he teaches dozens of brass musicians every day. Mr. Walsh always has, and always will play exclusively on Bach instruments.

Hey TDH, I'm Austin. I've been working on getting my Fett together for about 8 months now so I figure I ought to put up some WIP pics for you guys by now. I'm working on an ESB Fett and trying to scratchbuild as much as I can to keep costs down and just cause I like to build stuff ;D. I've had to give in and buy a few things recently to try to meet my Dcon completion goal, but most of the stuff is handmade. Anyway, on with the pics!
My armor is cut from Sintra using WOF's large templates. I molded it with a heat gun and I'm in the middle of the paint-up, using rattlecans and masking fluid.
Primed and Silvered ready for masking and paint
My backplate, the bane of my existence. Still have to fix the shoulder to match the curve of my collar armor and get the shoulder to fall at the proper angle. Also needs some trimming down to hide the warping from the molding process, not to mention cutting and molding of the jetpack slots still to be done.
My cod made of Sintra and Bondo, still needing much sanding and a good coat of paint
My scratchbuilt cardboard bucket. Still so much sanding to be done, but I'm proud of it so far. Took forever to make: built from WOF templates to movie specs and built using Antman's tutorial on TDH
[img ]http://i322.photobucket.com/albums/nn427/apolifka/Boba%20Fett%20WIP/IMG_0237.jpg[/img]
Purchased this RuffkinToy gaunt kit cheap. It was drybrushed poorly and put together mostly with epoxy. I recieved it unassembled. I've molded the gaunts back into shape (they were pretty distorted) and plan on fiberglassing the insides. The resin pieces all have to be repainted as do the gaunt cuffs. I plan on attaching the resin greeblies with the screw/ nut method.
And the last of the hard parts, my shin tools. Very much a WIP using sintra and more WOF templates, man I love that guy. You may notice there is no jetpack pictured here; don't worry I noticed too... I haven't even approached that monster yet.
And now for the soft parts,
One of the first things I started was the flightsuit. It's scratchbuilt: made from an automotive jumpsuit I modified. I hemmed the collar, made long sleeves with a homemade pattern, made the pouches myself with more WOF templates, and made the ankle straps and shin pockets by hand. The legs were taken in some to fit tighter, more like to movie, and the cuffs and leg hems have accurate stitching details, The whole thing is faded with spraypaint (bleach had no effect on the poly/cotton blend) and still needs to be weathered some.
I bought this flak vest from a TDH member for a good price, it's pretty thick in the front and attaches with velcro in the rear. All mocked up and ready for armor attachment and weathering.
Here's my ESB cape, I purchased it from Woodman on TDH and it's of great quality. He did the weathering.
My first attempt at making my own gloves from WOF templates. Still have a long way to go, these look like mittens sewn by a third grader but I learned a lot about how gloves are made :D
My ammo belt and girth belt, the girth was purchased in the same deal with my flak vest. The buckles are accurate and it's a great prop. The ammo belt I made myself from Batninja's tutorial on TDH. It's made from vinyl glued over wood blocks. I did all the stiching on the pouches and belt and it's as screen accurate as I'm capable of. Still needs some weathering.
[img ]http://i322.photobucket.com/albums/nn427/apolifka/Boba%20Fett%20WIP/IMG_0246.jpg[/img]
Wookie braids made from doll hair. Thrown in with my girth, flak purchase. Nothing special but the ends were less crimped looking than my braids, so I'm using the purchased set.
Got some paint on the chest pieces and collar! I think it looks pretty good, I still need to hit it with a coat of flat clearcoat but first I need to handpaint the insignia and do a bit of topical scratch damage. I dulled it down a bit already with some steel wool but it still has a bit of gloss left ( I had to use Satin paint). Things are going according to plan... Mwahahah!

text: After kids you don't get to: Be Selfish - Aside from the fact that you share your things to make your children happy, it's literally an illegal parenting move to not share - because it goes against everything you've taught them since like … birth! Be Naked. No walking to the laundry room to look for a clean bra. No blowing your hair or putting on make up, sans robe. No birthday suit appearances at ALL, without worrying that your body may be the cause of their therapy in later life. Be Sick - Doctor's appointments still stand, sports games aren't cancelled, kids still need to be fed and bathed. Before kids one could sit home for a week throwing snot filled tissues in a pile on the floor, bathing once every other day … or two, moaning, and binging on Sudafed. Now recuperation consists of you sucking on a lozenge while driving carpool in your comfy sweats. Do Nothing. No, for the rest of your parenting life you will have purpose … every minute of every day. Whether it's cleaning, cooking, working, running errands, trying to stay fit, keeping the kids entertained, happy, fed, clean, healthy, or from beating each other up - you will be doing something. Even the rare times that you're "doing nothing" you're doing something, it's called, maintaining sanity. Have Crazy Sex. Yes, there was probably a time when all your encounters didn't take place in the bedroom between the hours of 9PM and midnight. Maybe you were loud, maybe you couldn't make it past the kitchen, maybe you moved from room to room leaving a trail of garments in your wake. Watch One Of YOUR Shows With the Kids. Half the stuff is inappropriate. And you'll be answering questions all night long. Get a GOOD Night's Sleep. "How deep are we sleeping when a late night rollover could wake us from across the house?" And let's not forget waking up to pee (our bladders aren't what they used to be), to check the kids (again), to let the dog out, and to look at the clock and assess how many more hours of sleep you could get - if you were in fact sleeping. Then once the kids are even older, you can't sleep until they're safely home and in bed. So basically, sleep is pretty much ruined for decades. MORE HERE

Im currently doing the Language task in the Celta form, i.e. the form that asks you assess how to correct "students mistakes", "written work", "students understanding in difference in meaning" aswell as to write 300 words on a learning experience.
I am nearly completed this part, however, I have been cheating a bit by using the internet aswell as figuring it out myself. Can somebody tell me if you should use the internet? I mean, will it help me when it comes to the interview process? or even when im doing the course? Im starting to wonder if this course is for me if I have to rely on the internet. I mean my spelling and grammer is good but not excellent, this maybe due to my dyslexia. My ability to demonstrate a spelling and grammer issues to students deffinetly needs to be improved on.
That said, I thaught these are the kind of things I will learn about during the course anyway. I thaught I could improve on these problems during the course anyway, especially since I want to do an extended version of the course. So I dont know if I have anything to worry about. I will however try and improve on these issues prior to the course anyway.
Can somebody tell me, what kind of person do you need to be to do this course? and on the basis of what i have told you, do you think I am capable of doing this course? im just worried about it, thats all.
anyhelp or advice would be great. Yours Sincerely. Tommy.

It's really hard to tell with these photo's because the colour seems to change in every light. The paint is still tacky so I'm not sure weather it will change at all when it dries. I don't know what else to do, if this isn;t right, do I have to add another colour? What do we think?

Manchester Celtic Festival-goers get heads shaved to help fight cancer
By BILL SMITH
New Hampshire Union Leader | September 15. 2013 6:27PM
Briana Dube, of Concord, has her head shaved by Danielle Cote, of Not So Plane Jane's Salon and Spa, Sunday afternoon during the Wild Rover Celtic Festival. Dube had her head shaved for the 5th time in the last 6 years. The head shaving fund raiser drew about 15 shavees, and prior to this year has raised between 60,000-70,000 dollars. (JOSH GIBNEY/UNION LEADER)
The fundraiser was for the benefit of the St. Baldrick's Foundation, which raises money for research into the causes of children's cancer.
The Finleys participate with their children, Jonathan and Joshua Michelizza, every year.
"It's not my usual look, but it's my annual look around this time of year," said Jonathan Michelizza, a junior at Manchester High School Central. "I have done this for the past two years, I really enjoy helping with stuff like this."
"They're usually confused at first but then I tell them about it and they kind of get it," Joshua said.
"My mom is a breast cancer survivor, so for the last couple of years we have been running in support of her," Amy Finley said. "When this came up last year, we decided it was a good opportunity to give back to children with cancer."
Foundation officials said some $33 million was raised nationally last year from more than 49,000 volunteers.
"It means a lot to me that our whole family will band together and donate to an awesome cause and raise awareness for children's cancer," Gretchen Finley said.

So I have been wanting to do this for a while and I figured I would make a build thread. Also I'm sure this type of "build" will be more interesting because its a lot of fabrication which everybody loves!
Lets get started....
My goal is to build and uber dope slammed Radio Flyer wagon. Before anyone asks
-No I do not have children
-I do not plan on having children for quite some time
Now that that's out of the way lets get to it. My inspiration came from a local buddy of mine.
I also found gobs of info on the HAMB for the front end steering and axle configuration.
I came across this "slightly" used example at an antique shop for a whopping $12
I started by taking it all apart.
Thankfully the whole thing was held together with screws and nuts! This may be the easiest project ever!
Selective focus shots are
All apart
Remember to put all your parts in bags so you dont misplace them...
Now its time to give it a good bath
All clean.
It may have lost its blood and may be dead, but it will come back with more soul and spirit then ever before
Next on the list of things to do is get some metal stock and fab up the front and rear axles.

'Peca vowed never to wear the Sabres jersey again, sat out all of last season, and sweated out a summer wondering if his trade demand would be met. So it's hard to believe Peca "hasn't really thought much about it,'' as he said after practice at the Coliseum on Friday.'
Archives for November 2001
Islanders center plays Buffalo for first time since summer trade
Clean play leads to victories
'Buffalo beat the Washington Capitals, 5-2, Wednesday night in part because the Sabres didn't beat themselves.'
Familiar foe
'"Sure, the game has special meaning to many of us because of Michael Peca. But we can't just focus on him alone."'
Kozlov on-ice effort speaks volumes for Sabres
'"We've got to give Slava credit for responding the way he did," teammate Jason Woolley said Thursday. "There were two ways of handling it, hanging your head and sulking, or coming back and showing that you belong in the lineup. I think Slava did the right thing."'
Sharp Sabres sink Caps 5-2
Protecting a third period lead has been a difficult task for the Buffalo Sabres this season. Just the night before, they blew a two-goal lead against the New York Rangers. The Rangers tied it up with only 8 seconds left. The Sabres threw a barrage of 49 shots at Ranger goalie Mike Richter, scoring only twice. The Sabres went against their norm Wednesday night in the nation's capital by scoring 4 times against their old-time tormentor, Olaf Kolzig, and cruised to a 5-2 victory over the Washington Capitals.
Sabres' effort nets positive result this time
'It was only the second time in eight tries that the Sabres had won the second of back-to-back games.'
Kozlov returns with a goal
'"We addressed it (Tuesday) night. After the game we talked to him. I think it's something that's been taken care of."'
Slow Start, Quiet Finish for Caps
'The Capitals were lost in the first period, and it cost them the game.'
Bondra's bittersweet evening
'Peter Bondra grabbed a piece of Washington Capitals history last night, but in the process he committed a blunder that led to a Buffalo victory, making it a bittersweet evening at best.'
Caps Report
'Entering the game, the Caps had taken 30 more shots on goal than their opponents, with a 37-shot margin in the second period making up for a disadvantage in the first. But shooting more often doesn't translate into more goals — the Caps have been outscored 75-65.'
Caps chase, can't catch Sabres
'"Our defense had a little bit of trouble with their speed and we dug a hole," said Capitals coach Ron Wilson. "When you play the night before and then getting down two goals is an awful tough hole to dig yourself out of. We came close, but we made a couple of critical errors that allowed them to score."'
Sabres 5, Capitals 2
'Buffalo G Martin Biron got his first career point with an assist on Afinogenov's goal.'
Buffalo 5, Washington 2
'A day after being benched, Kozlov scored for the first time in 18 games, using a 1-on-1 move on goaltender Olaf Kolzig to stake Buffalo to a 2-0 lead 5:36 into the contest.'
Rangers leave town with new tie
'The Rangers came to Buffalo with the sole intent of winning a hockey game, and not worrying about revenge against Vaclav Varada or coach Lindy Ruff. Which was all well and good, except that they almost forgot about the game.'
Sabres vs. Capitals
'When they play on back-to-back days, the Sabres are 1-5-0-1 in the second game.'

FBI Spied On Visitors to Prepper Website
Cookie tracked users web activity
Paul Joseph Watson
Tuesday, March 20, 2012
Visitors to a popular prepper website which advises people on how to prepare for potential disasters and civil emergencies were spied on by the FBI by means of a cookie that tracked their web activity, according to an analysis conducted by SurvivalBlog.com.
It has come to my attention that from August of 2011 to November of 2011, the FBI secretly redirected the web traffic of more than 10% of SurvivalBlogs US visitors through CJIS, their sprawling data center situated on 900 acres, 10 miles from Clarksburg, West Virginia. There, the Feebees surreptitiously collected the IP addresses of my site visitors. In all, 4,906 of 35,494 selected connections ended up going to or through the FBI servers, states a post on the SurvivalBlog.com website.
The analysis performed by the website found that the FBIs primary source of interest was web users who had visited a video upload website associated with alleged intellectual copyright theft, such as MegaUpload. Once users visited these websites, they were assigned an FBI cookie which allowed the feds to track which websites users visited, including SurvivalBlog.com.
However, the analysis also showed that some of the cookies were being assigned to users who had connected directly with the SurvivalBlog website.
So if they had kept this practice up long enough and if you visited us enough times then the FBIs computers would have given you a cookie. This has been verified with sniffer software, states the website.
SurvivalBlog has since switched its primary servers to be hosted in Sweden, preventing the FBI from accessing the data. However, the whole episode proves that the feds are spying on so-called preppers by tracking the websites they visit.
Despite being the subject of a major National Geographic series entitled Doomsday Preppers, members of the prepper community have been treated with increasing suspicion by US authorities.
Last month we reported on the case of David Sarti, a familiar face in the prepper community who features prominently in the National Geographic show. Sarti was declared mentally defective and put on an FBI list preventing him from purchasing guns after an enforced stay in hospital after Sarti had complained of breathing difficulties.
Sarti was also told that his second amendment rights had been stripped and that he would have to hand in all the guns he currently owns. Sarti is currently fighting to have his name taken off the list that outlaws him from buying guns.
In a related development, under the auspices of its Communities Against Terrorism program, the FBI has characterized the bulk purchase of food, a common trait of the prepper community, as a suspicious activity possibly indicative of terrorism.
A flyer aimed at Military Surplus stores encourages owners to report people who make bulk purchases of items to include .meals ready to eat. According to the flyer, the FBI advises store owners to demand IDs from all new customers, as well as asking them questions about their purchase and being aware of suspicious statements.
Despite the fact that the federal government itself is purchasing bulk food supplies at record levels, efforts by citizens to do the same are being scrutinuized by authorities.

If you are willing to blow it off every month or so it shouldn't matter. What you might be shooting at would be more important in the selection than a little dust.

Ok, everyone, what's your next gun purchase gonna be? Or, if you could go buy a gun tomorrow, what would it be?
I am currently considering 3 different guns
Ruger KMKII512 22 LR
Springfield Armory M-1 Carbine .30 Cal.
There are several that I would love to have:
CZ 75 B in 9mm (or a 75SP01)
S&W M&P in 9mm
... and that is just pistols. :)
Got to slow down 2 wks. ago purchase grand raptor this will hold me for a few weeks.
Well, only thing out right now I want is another P99 A/S. They are damn near impossible to find around here new, so I may not have any luck (I do not like the QA trigger).
After that, I am waiting for HK to release the HK45 and HK P30 in 2007 hopefully.
I'm picking up a XD9 Tactical sometime this week when I get off my lazy ass.
Have you shot the 75P01?Quote:

Yes. I've shot the SP01 and the compact. I liked them, especially the full sized version. It feels great in the hand and has very little muzzle flip. The DA was a little heavy on the version that I shot, but it was still breaking in. I think it would make a great steel or PPC gun.Quote:

I 've debated between the P229 and the P226. The reason I'm leaning 226 in 9mm is because I already have the 229 in that caliber.
There is a nice used one at my local shop (A Sig 226) w/ night sights for $450. Itw as $500, but no one was buying it, so they lowered it to $450. As of last week, it was still there. I looked at it for a while, but the 226 is just too fat for my hand.Quote:

Ruger P series in 40 S&W
I want to get a Wilson CQB in 10mm when the come out with it.
Sw 99 in 9mm.
I am thinking my next gun purchase could be a semi-auto 12 gauge riot gun. For a handgun, I have been thinking about a SA XD9.
Vom Kriege, I got the S&W M&K.40 a couple of weeks ago and love it. I did a range report over at SigForum if you are intrested I can guide you to it.Quote:

Why are some nations rich and other nations poor? What has enabled some nations to escape poverty while others continue to languish?
And if we want to help poor nations prosper, what's the right recipe?
Since I'm a public finance economist, I'm tempted to say a flat tax and small government are an elixir for prosperity, but those policies are just one piece of a bigger puzzle.
A country also needs sensible monetary policy, open trade, modest regulation, and rule of law. In other words, you need small government AND free markets.
But even that doesn't really tell us what causes growth.
In the past, I've highlighted the importance of capital formation and shared a remarkable chart showing how workers earn more when the capital stock is larger (which is why we should avoid punitive double taxation of income that is saved and invested).
But that also doesn't really answer the question. After all, if a larger capital stock was all that mattered, doesn't that imply that we could get prosperity if government simply mandated more saving and investing?
There's something else that's necessary. Something perhaps intangible, but critically important.

Over the weekend alone, more than 357,000 people signed Planned Parenthood's online open letter to Congress to oppose the recent vote from the House of Representatives to bar federal funding for the organization. Planned Parenthood utilized social media to help reposition themselves from a "losing" situation (facing cuts in federal funding) to more of a win-win situation (garnering public support and raising awareness and passion for their cause).
Nonprofits rock at using social media because it supports storytelling, inspires personal connections, and heightens the transparency required to attract donors. It does these things better, and at less of a cost, than a Superbowl ad (or most any ad, for that matter). But there's an ongoing tension between social media and its ability to have a direct, positive monetary impact for organizations. Like so many actions in the world of nonprofits, it's hard to monetize and determine the ROI of the effort in terms of dollars.
Planned Parenthood has created a win-win situation: If Planned Parenthood succeeds in overcoming the recent vote to bar federal funding for the organization, then they will have a monetary benefit that resulted from online engagement efforts (they kept funding that might otherwise be lost). But if hundreds of thousands of social media users signing an open letter causes no change in government action, Planned Parenthood still wins. They've managed to create a compelling call to action that got their cause into the newsfeed of millions of people in an urgent and compelling way that folks are likely to remember. These people are potential donors with a new reason to contribute. If Planned Parenthood inspires government funding or not, it was still a huge success to summon potential donors who may give money to the organization, should the cuts go through. If your nonprofit organization is going to lose federal funding (which is almost never a "win"), it probably doesn't hurt to capture hundreds of thousands of hearts in the process.
For better or worse, this case illustrates some interesting ideas about how people relate to causes via social media. Here are some observations that may have led to the organization's online success:
1. Planned Parenthood's open letter made it easy to be an evangelist for a cause. Signing the letter takes less than a minute and the letter may have received a lot of attention for that very reason. It made caring about a cause easy and it let people think that they were doing something extremely significant. And they actually were, indeed, becoming evangelists for something significant. Public service and social causes are growing increasingly important to us as consumers (read: supporters and donors), which also may have aided in inspiring thousands to sign the letter. This is over-simplified, but here's the point: making the letter easy to sign made it easy for people to do something "good," and because that's cool and you are cool when you support social change, people want to share that they support it. Result? Lots and lots of easy evangelists.
2. The call to action wasn't the most important one. It was the most urgent. The call to action isn't for monetary support, though that would be more active and likely have a bigger impact than adding your name to a letter that may or may not be considered significant in the eyes of officials. Although I hope that it is, it's not a stretch to see how this online letter might not be taken too seriously. Case in point? The Facebook group called "We Hate the New Facebook, so STOP CHANGING IT!!!" has 1.5 million fans. Not even Facebook cares to listen to the group and it's on their own platform. Like the Planned Parenthood letter, there's no threatening action here to make leaders think these people care all too much when it comes down to it. The letter and its support could easily be written off as something that may have more to do with exposure than passionate belief that funds formally allocated to Planned Parenthood shouldn't go somewhere else. Putting your name on an online letter is something, but it's far from the most active thing that Planned Parenthood could ask their supporters to do. In fact, Planned Parenthood didn't seem to ask for active donations at all in their I Stand with Planned Parenthood campaign. Was that the right move? Maybe. Maybe not.
3. Planned Parenthood has cultivated 400,000+ emotional investors just online. That's a lot of potential passion and a lot of visibility. The above points are far from proving on any level that the social media push was not a great idea for the organization. In fact, though it likely wasn't the primary goal, Planned Parenthood succeeded in creating a large-scale spread of the most valued kind of marketing: word of mouth. Facebook is interesting territory for marketers. It's a great way to create conversation and spread your message. However, it is a relatively closed network compared to, say, Twitter- where statements can be searched and seen by anyone. To expand your fan-following on Facebook, you need to get other people to spread your message so that it comes up on the newsfeeds of the users' networks. Planned Parenthood mastered this by sending a follow-up email to each person who signed up for the open letter with a prominent button asking you to make the message your Facebook status. It was easy and it worked. It's likely that all 400,000+ supporters knew about Planned Parenthood before coming across the letter, but now those supports have done three valuable things:
- learned more about the organization, assuming they read the letter they signed
- took action to support the cause (emotional investment)
- and many stated their support publicly (solidifying their emotional support and integrating it into their online identity).
4. What Planned Parenthood does next, counts. The organization has built incredible momentum and Planned Parenthood will likely have to do something to harness that momentum before it dwindles. If you're a museum person, this is the same problem that the Museum of Science and Industry faced after they chose their Month at the Museum winner. How do you keep people engaged for the main event? In this case, how do you get these people to stick around to see if Planned Parenthood gets federal funding? More importantly, how can you utilize this momentum to get people to help support the organization financially if it doesn't…. or even if it does? There's a lot of potential here, and there's a lot that nonprofit organizations can learn about the role of social media in advocacy through what happens next.
As a side for museum-focused folks out there (and others!), Planned Parenthood isn't the only organization that risks losing funding. There are some scary anti-museum amendments being considered by Congress for FY 2011. While reading about Planned Parenthood, it's hard not to wonder what the online museum community would do if a severe anti-museum amendment threatened the industry that we both care about fiercely, and that supplies jobs to fellow museum aficionados. Nonprofit organizations in general can learn a lot by watching and supporting Planned Parenthood's efforts right now. Particularly with regard to the evolving tool of social media which will likely play a growing and important role in advocacy, enagement, and summoning public support to create and realize change.
Please weigh-in with comments about lessons you are taking away from the situation and interesting tidbits that may help shape how nonprofits can use social tools to cultivate political support.

This list is no longer being updated due to lack of interest. Please go here for the most updated listing.
So, you want to find a commercially operated field (not renegade locations) that will allow you to use First Strike rounds on Walk On days? Below you will find postings dedicated to Geographic Regions, with fields listed by state.
Great Plains
Great Lakes
If you know of a field, or fields that allow them. Comment and I'll update the regional postings. Be sure that they can be used on Walk-On days. Special Events (scenarios, big games, etc) are almost always considered separately.
This is what I need you to tell me:
Field Name - if they specify the location in the name (i.e. OA Rosedale), include it
FS Allowance: either FPO (Field First Strikes Only), BYO (Bring Your Own First Strikes), or Fee (Pay a fee to bring your own FS)
Address- Street Name and Number, City, State, etc
Phone Number- So players that are heading there for the first time can call to confirm
Web address- in case players want to know more about the field.
For example (again, for example as this field no longer allows them):
Warplay Paintball
30067 Constitution Highway
Rhoadesville, VA 22542
The less you give me, the longer it'll be before I add your entry. If you don't give me enough (i.e. I can't find it in the first results page of a google search), I wont add it.
Finally, this can help your local field. Some people players only use FS rounds so, this list can help direct them to your local FS-friendly field.

By Chris Harris
Arsène Wenger has reached "a good compromise" with Roy Hodgson over Jack Wilshere's England commitments.
The 20-year-old is back in the national squad for Wednesday's friendly against Sweden in Stockholm having got three Arsenal games under his belt since returning from injury.
Wenger is naturally wary of managing Wilshere's fitness after he spent the whole of last season on the sidelines with ankle and knee problems. And he has spoken to the England manager about the midfielder.
"You know what I think [about Wilshere], that it is early for him," said Wenger.
"I had Roy Hodgson on the phone, we found a good understanding and a good compromise. What helps is that he is not playing over the weekend because he is suspended, of course. He will have a little breather. Roy wants him in the group to connect the game with the players.
"I don't want to talk about that [the number of minutes Wilshere could play], Roy is in a better position to talk about that because he is the coach of the team and he can better explain how he will use the players. But it's a friendly, of course.
"The ideal solution would be [that he wasn't involved]. It is as it is. He has played three games now, and of the three games only one [has been a] full game.
"He has been out for 17 months and it's good to have a little break after three games. What we like is that he won't play over the weekend so he will recover. I think he needs 10 days of good recovery.
"Jack is generous on the football pitch - he gives 100 per cent. I feel physically, he is quite there - slowly he gets stronger in every game. That means his basic fitness is good.
"Sometimes, you need, when you accumulate games, to have a little rest again and to build on that and to recover and then go even harder. For us, what is important to know, is to stop him before he gets to that point."
- Wenger was speaking at Great Ormond Street Hospital, where the Club opened a Lung Function Unit - a legacy from Arsenal's partnership with GOSH during the 2009/10 season

Money and Banking A Policy-oriented ApproachAuthor:
Croushore, Dean
Edition: 1
Pub Date: 2006
Publisher: Houghton Mifflin College Div
Summary: Combining a concise writing style with real-world applications, this innovative text takes a new approach to the money and banking course. "Money and Banking" examines the role the banking system plays in individual financial activities and considers the monetary policymaking that shapes the world's financial system. A highly respected teacher--and a leading expert on macroeconomic forecasting, with several years of ...experience at the Federal level--Croushore makes the personal and the public relevant and interesting to students.The text's shorter, more focused approach addresses the modern framework of today's financial system, in which both financial markets and banks play important roles. Designed to appeal to a range of learners, the pedagogical features include over 130 figures and 20 full-color photos and cartoons. The ancillary program, written entirely by the author, provides a well-integrated set of learning tools and teaching resources.The text's focus on policy issues and data appeals to students who want to see how theories about money and financial markets play out in the real world--both in their own financial activities and on a larger, societal scale.As a former macroeconomics expert with the Philadelphia Federal Reserve, Croushore brings an insider's perspective to the material, helping students understand the real-world complexities of economic policy.Carefully selected and tested by the author, the end-of-chapter problems include review, numerical, and analytical exercises."Data Bank" boxed features explore how data collection affects real-world businesses, institutions, and investors; "Policy Insider" boxes highlight the author's experience with policy decisionat the Federal level."Application to Everyday Life" sections feature interesting examples to help students connect concepts in the text to their personal experiences, while chapter-ending Policy Issues focus on key policy decisions relevant to the reading.Key equations, key terms, marginal glossaries, and section summaries allow students to quickly and efficiently review important information in each chapter.The Eduspace online learning tool pairs the widely recognized resources of Blackboard with quality, text-specific content from Houghton Mifflin. Auto-graded homework based on end-of-chapter exercises, MP3 files of chapter summaries, and math review tutorials all come ready-to-use.

I need to find 3 Stormtrooper amor sets to rent for Wednesday. Please help.
AWESOME introduction bro!!!
First Imperial Stormtrooper Detachment is the 501st Stormtrooper forum, but I doubt you'll be able to find costumes to rent. People put a lot of work into the suits and it's not something they really rent out. Maybe a costume shop near you has some Rubies suits they'd rent.
LMAO yeh you may be able to get the 501st to make an appearance
where do you need them?
You know we cant actually rent them out as it will breach the agreement with Lucas Film and we can be sued for making monies from his patent! Be very careful about this. We are allowed to make and wear the costumes only for non profit reasons.
Try your local costume shop but the detail wont be the same.

Anyone ever had an issue with the starter motor continuing to crank after the ignition switch is off?
Here is the deal.
Start the car runs fine.
Turn off the car starter continues to crank.
disconnect the battery and the starter stops.
Reconnect the battery and it is fine until you cycle the key again.
We took out the ignition switch and jumped the wiring. same issue.
New starter solenoid in. Same issue.
Any ideas?

Hey guys, I just found the site and love it so I joined. I can tell you a little bit about hunting in WV and why nobody likes to post at least IMO. Good duck hunting spots in WV are hard to come by and if you post up the least little bit of info regarding a location you can be guranteed that there will be guys looking for it and trying to obtain permission.
I will tell that me and my buddies know this from experience in losing spots over the years and in fact we just lost another of our best spots this past Saturday. We hunted public land Sat. AM and killed 2 mallards and decided to go to our little honey hole that we thought we had exclusive permission on, only to drive through the gate of the farm and see guys pulling decoys from the pond.
We stopped and asked what was going on and they said that for the past couple of years they had heard shooting from here and decided to come and check it out. They found the pond and then proceeded to gain access to the property to launch there boat at the guys launching ramp into the creek and decided that access to the launching ramp means that they can hunt the pond.
We are trying to contact the landowner now to see what he told them, but in the meantime they have already hunted this place 5 times. We usually only hunted this place 2-3 times per season and they hit it 5 days in a row.
So IMO this is why you don't see a lot of activity on a WV forum, we have to be pretty secretive to keep our spots.


text: it helps if we know your location. i hived a swarm late last wednesday. i gave them 9 frames of foundation and one frame of brood. we had a lot of rain over the weekend so they didn't get to work very much. when i went in the hive saturday afternoon i had 8 fully drawn frames and the last two being worked on (all in two days).


text: sfp convo1.pdfHey I have been having conversation with the current management of SFP. During this they said they are in process of bringing legal action against members of the 501st as well as TDH. I have attached a PDF form of the full conversation. Again just letting this be known.

I want to live a positive life. Be more caring about others. And not be so full of sadness and anger. I love everyone but hate the ones who are bent on destroying this world that god provide us with. I want to quit being mean to my family. I have anger problems and tend to sometimes take it out on them. I want to see my brother quit pills. I want to see my dad quit smoking crack. I want my dad to love me. But he has shown more then once he only cares about his drugs and his girl friend who is a meth addict and crack head. Ive turned my love for him towards hate. I want to see my life turn for good. I want to do good things and help others but im just not sure how to do that. I want my grandmum eye sight to come back. I want her health to getter better. I fear the day of her death. As i will then probably have no one but my brother. I want to have a clear mind and not here voices in my head. I want to have the strength to take my meds. I dont want to be depressed any more. I dont want to be bipolar any more. I don't want to have anxiety any more. I want friends but no one would like me as im not normal. But define normal. In the truth we all are crazy. I want the world to be at peace. I want there to be and end to world hunger. I want a happy world. But sadly this world is a nightmare and i dread everyday i awake from sleep. I want a job to support and help my family. I want to be able to help them with there debts and bills. I only get 600 a month and thats not much to help. We are supposed to pay are debts but its hard. I want to know what its like to feel emotions. Im a stale human who really don't care much. I dont show love much. And im full of hate. but im aslo full of love but its a battle. As my inner self is mad at everyone and dont let me show my true self. I am sorry to all those i have hurt in my life. There is and always will be someone out there that is worse off then me. But i did not have a child hood. Mine was stolen from me. My mum and her friends did things to me which i will not go into detail. Only a few here know. Whom i wont share names. I am screwed up in the head. I hope one day will find peace. But i doubt it. I hope you all forgive me for the things i do. Thanks for reading.
i know this a long post but please read if you want to and please share what you want to do with your life.

probably the best way to increase your numbers is to add some nurse bees
No offense to your Kona queen but many have stated that they are not much to brag about. One season wonders? Maybe not even. Sorry to be so blunt but that's the feedback I've gotten from at least 4 beeks who have used them never again.
Something else I thought of. Since there is such a small number of bees it might help them to maintain the temperature on the brood area if you taped a piece of aluminum foil over that area of the glass to act as a radiant barrier - like one of those emergency "space blankets". It would be pretty cool if you could get such a small number of bees to pull through.
I wish I had an observation hive.
Also, I wasn't really suggesting that you actually try to supply nectar in the form of flowers. The idea is that you give the foragers an area that is outside of the hive that simulates a warm sunny day where they can bring back food from. Who knows if it would work or not.
Would the temp alone cause her to stop laying? even if the brood temp is in the 80's?
Quote from: specialkayme on February 13, 2010, 09:51:32 PMWould the temp alone cause her to stop laying? even if the brood temp is in the 80's?The length of day , -shorthening and lenghtening, tells to bees and nature is it winter coming or going. I have feeded to bees patty 20 years, and what first learned was they bees need drinking water to nurse larvae. If they do not get drinking water, larvae will be sick and die. - And don't tell me about condensation water. One thing is that Australians have reseached how to feed bees over their "winter" that bees are ready to hit on canola fields. It did not succeed because hives got bad nosema.Of course the weather must be so warm that bees can get out off poo in they gut.If weather is so good, they get water too from outside. Often the queen lay eggs but bees do not start to feed them. .

The Monday ProCanes report will weed through all the NFL highlights and news to bring you the information you care about the most... what the former Hurricanes did during the week prior. Behind a heroic performance from Ray Lewis in his last game at M&T Bank Stadium, the Baltimore Ravens dispatched Reggie Wayne and the Indianapolis Colts to earn a second-round matchup with No. 1 seed Denver. Andre Johnson and the Houston Texans toppled the Cincinnati Bengals, while Sam Shields helped lead the Packers past Minnesota.
Ray Lewis (Baltimore Ravens) - 13 tackles
The 17-year veteran made waves across the league last week when he announced he would retire following the Baltimore Ravens' postseason run. Lewis, marking his return to the Baltimore lineup after sustaining a triceps injury in Week Six, dominated in his final game in front of the home crowd at M&T Bank Stadium. Lewis led all Ravens' defensive players with 13 total tackles, including a team-best nine solo takedowns. Playing an inspired brand of defense with the help of its captain, Baltimore's defense did not allow the Colts into the endzone. In a farewell gesture to the home crowd, Lewis came on for the last play of the game.
Video Highlights: Lewis Wired for Sound | #52 Game Highlights
Reggie Wayne (Indianapolis Colts) - nine catches, 114 yards
Despite his team's disappointing first-round exit, Wayne continued arguably the most dominant individual season of his career with a spectacular performance against Houston. Under the direction of inspirational head coach Chuck Pagano, the 12th-year wideout led all pass-catchers with nine receptions and 114 yards, good for his fourth 100-yard receiving game of the 2012 season. With his nine-catch performance, Wayne moved into second place all-time in postseason receptions with 92, trailing only San Francisco 49ers' all-time great Jerry Rice.
Andre Johnson (Houston Texans) - four catches, 62 yards
Houston's Pro Bowl wideout continued on his torrid end to the season with a 62-yard showing in the Texans' first-round win over Indianapolis. Johnson, who finished the regular season ranked second in the league with 1,598 receiving yards, showed little signs of slowing down heading into the second round. The tenth-year veteran, joined by fellow ProCanes Chris Myers, Darryl Sharpton and Brandon Harris, will travel north for a showdown with second-seeded New England in the divisional round.

LAST TIME OUT: No. 11 UNC 72, No. 20 Florida State 62
CHAPEL HILL --- Xylina McDaniel scored 15 of her career-high 19 points after halftime and No. 11 North Carolina withstood a furious rally to top No. 20 Florida State, 72-62, Thursday night at Carmichael Arena. Waltiea Rolle finished with 18 points on 9-of-12 shooting and 10 rebounds as the Tar Heels won their 20th game and gave head coach Sylvia Hatchell her 899th career victory.
Head coach Sylvia Hatchell enters Sunday's game with a career record of 899-316 in 38 seasons, just one win shy of 900. Only two coaches in women's basketball history have reached this milestone - Pat Summitt and Jody Conradt - but Hatchell and Rutgers head coach C. Vivian Stringer are both on pace to get there in 2013. Hatchell currently holds the active lead, two ahead of Stringer's 897.
• With the win over No. 20 Florida State on Jan. 31, UNC reached the 20-win mark for the 24th time in program history in 2013.
• Carolina has won 20 games under Sylvia Hatchell 19 times in 27 seasons and 11 times in the last 12 campaigns.
• The win on Jan. 31 marked the first time Carolina has gotten to 20 wins in January since the Final Four team of 2006-07. That squad started 24-0 and finished 34-4. The 34 wins stands as the single-season school record.
• Hatchell has coached her teams to at least 20 wins on 29 occasions in 38 seasons, good for fourth-most nationally. Only Pat Summitt, Vivian Stringer and Jody Conradt have coached more 20-win seasons.
• In addition to her 18 20-win seasons in Chapel Hill, Hatchell teams won 20 or more games 10 times in 11 seasons at Francis Marion.
• Carolina is 422-93 all-time in Carmichael, including a 49-10 record since the building re-opened after being closed for renovations from March 2008 to December 2009.
• The Tar Heels have won at least 13 home games in each of the last 12 seasons, including a school-record 18 during an undefeated 2007-08 home campaign.
• UNC has lost just 19 home games since the start of the 2001-02 season. The Tar Heels have been even more stingy against non-conference opponents, losing at home just twice outside of league play in the last decade.
Carolina has been tenacious on the defensive end so far in 2012-13, holding opponents to just 57.3 points per game and 34.0 percent shooting from the field. The current school record for opponent scoring average is 55.0 points per game in 2006-07. The Tar Heels have won three times in 2012-13 when scoring fewer than 60 points, something that had only happened once since 2005 prior to this season.
On Jan. 6, Carolina established a new school record for fewest points in a win in the 48-45 victory over Virginia Tech, breaking a record that had stood since 1976. The Tar Heels currently rank in the top 20 in the nation in steals (1st), blocks (10th) and field-goal percentage defense (16th).
The numbers look even better when adjusted for Carolina's up-tempo style, as the Tar Heels are sixth in the country in points allowed per possession. According to WBBstate.com, UNC allows just 0.71 points per opponent possession.

Arsène Wenger believes the game at Chelsea on Saturday will tell him how far his side have progressed in the past month.
Arsenal started the campaign slowly after disappointing defeats against Liverpool, Manchester United and Blackburn in the opening weeks.
However they have rallied since bringing in a host of players just before the transfer window closed. The team have now won seven out of their last eight games – a run that has put them in the Quarter-Finals of the Carling Cup, top of their Champions League Group and up to seventh in the Premier League table.
However the manager believes that third-place Chelsea at Stamford Bridge will be another matter. Speaking to Arsenal Player on Thursday, Wenger agreed the fixture would be a yardstick against which to measure his side.
"Yes, definitely," he said. "I believe that we have grown as a team compared with one month ago.
"Now we face the real tests of our quality and, of course, that is where we want to show that we have improved. That's what is at stake at the moment.
"A positive result would demonstrate that we are ready to compete at the top again. That is what we want to achieve of course and we will give absolutely everything to do well in this game. We will have a go.
"Chelsea are up there, they have quality, and for me at Manchester United they showed that quality.
"They are a bit more creative than they were before because Juan Mata has given them something a bit more in the final third.
"They look to be in better shape than last year so it will demand a strong defensive performance on our side. We also need to attack them like we used to away from home."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.
