Review: Say Yes to Carrots Lip Butter
The Yes To Carrots - C Me Smile Lip Butter ($3.69)- These 95% organic lip butters contain carrot, orange, pumpkin, melon extracts, coconut oil, olive fruit oil, jojoba seed and sunflower seeds, sunflower, vitamin e, beeswax and shea butter. Available in Berry, Carrot, Melon and Mint.
Yes to Carrots has a good track record with me. I really like the face mask and the shampoo- I love the scent that it leaves in my hair as it dries. OH don't forget the body butter. It's a thick cream that you have to use some muscle to rub it in. (I especially like for arms, hands, legs and feet). The results are non greasy and totally moisturized. I keep it by my bed so I can do it before I go to sleep. When I wake up I don't need any lotion.
The lip balm (carrot) is thin and smells kinda weird and acidic, but I guess it could be what a carrot smells like, I don't really know. I layered it on before bed and when I woke up my lips felt more sensitive, but not dry. It's not my favorite, but I'm not going to throw it out either. I'll keep it- somewhere. But I personally like a thicker balm. Have you tried it? Do you like it?

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by BillLaimbeer, Oct 12, 2010.
Stuckey's going to be a Raptor next season. 5 years $60M.
Stuck doesn't have the manhood pedigree to run a NBA offense into the second round of the playoffs. He's a very poor mans Kobe. Cut him.
Pistons finish the season at 30-52. Congrats to 2Tough4You, basketbills, CarlosGallan, Darth Tater, discotom, kpaav, LA Dre, Mogilny, RodneyStuckey#3, Ryder, TaShawn, Walter, webz, Woody. They all picked correctly that the Pistons would win between 30 and 34 games. The Pistons convincing win in game #82 over the Sixers moved them from the 25-29 win category to the 30-34 group. A special recognition goes out to those in the 25-29 slot for making it close: BallDon'tLie, BillLaimbeer, Ernie the Slow Adult, HarryFWong, hitafreethrow, jayborne, linwood, SonicD 43
Do we get two free tickets to a game next season?
Why would you want them?
He didn't say which teams he wanted to see play. You are a bad person, by the way.
To get a close up of Automotion of course
I can't even remember how many I guessed... but I must have been wrong..
Don't Max, Roscoe, and me get honorable mention? For farthest off?
Most optimistic award.
You guys all get one free pitcher of Kool-aid.
Oh, I'm sorry you mean you were participating ?
The guy is uncanny.
I know the hates when we just post -> and nothing else, and I really try not to do that any longer, but that post had me and I couldn't resist. Hey, who ended up winning that contest, anyhow? Must be smart people.
I really don't hate much in this world. I like that you guys run the forum now more than I do. I just keep the lights on mostly. This is manageable for me given my current career and lifestyle choices.
No worries. We've got it covered. You've left the place in good hands.
Thanks to you, the forum is like a well-oiled machine. Now we just need the Pistons team to actually run so smooth...
A smooth running forum is the very foundation of a good team. The way Rosc has set it up the future looks bright for Detroit basketball.
What lifetstyle choices is he talking about?
More fiber in his diet.........

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by TheeTFD, Nov 5, 2008.
Chauncey looked unhappy last night....still looks strange in nuggett uniform
Cuz he had planned out 'Thanksgiving' dinner with Rip after the yesterday's "Practice' before the season starts. But instead of all that, he has to play a game a few hundred miles away from Motown. If that does not make him unhappy, what else would?
LOL, you know i thought he looked unhappy as well and then i realized he just always looks that way. I know the team does spend New Year's Eve (??) together. I wonder if they spend other holidays together as well. edited to add; Maybe he's upset about AI missing practice.
Yeah, don't mess with his Pistons. If you saw the Hornet game, man, talk about teams hot and cold. Hornet got like 3 huge breaks in the last 2:00. Tough loss.
Nice night for Chaunce, 25 min, 6-9, 12-12 FT's, 27 pts, 4 assists vs the powerhouse Timberwolves LOL
and they'll still lose against good teams in the playoffs if he can't convince mr chuckster Carmelo to be more effective.... he was outscored by Billiups by only 2 points 27-25 but took 14 more shots to keep it that close.... I really don't understand why he's looked on as such a great player?
Melo's job is to take it to the hole/paint, danger.
Melo went 1-4 and played 14 min. i didn't watch so i don't know what happened. CB made up for it though with 28pts, 10 assists, 4 rbs, 6-7 FT 2stls, 1 bs. Pretty impressive against the HOU defense. The bigs on DEN are what's really impressive though. Kenyon Martin is really back to form. 15 and 4blocks. He looks like the Martin of NJ again.
Wow, our starters could stand to be a little unhappy too, I guess. lol.
Boy if Chauncey keeps it up he might get an all-star selection or an MVP award. Those numbers and awards won't translate into the post-season, but WTG Chaunce!
Denver Post. So far they're on a 64.4 game winning pace with CB on the team. Just think if they would have retained Dyess too? Denver does have some really good players and it is unsettling that they never played like this when they had AI.
McGrady was out. Let's see how the Nuggs do with out Melo for a while, bad elbow.
Denver will win the 2009 NBA Championship....take it to the bank.
You don't know what you've got until it's gone...
Take it to the bank doesn't mean as much as it used to... unless you're specifically talking about JP Morgan.
I take that back.........put it under your mattress.
Bill...Are you talking about Flip again.
I wasn't talking about Flip, but I think Piston fans may realize this season that it wasn't Flip holding the Pistons back the past few years. Detroit did not have the talent to simply waltz home with a title every year.
The trade certainly won't make the Pistons any worse. It will make them different, that's for sure, but not worse.

TORRINGTON -- Leftover and unwanted prescription drugs found a new home in an incinerator, thanks to the Torrington Police Department's drug collection.
According to Sergeant Bart Barown of the Torrington Police Department, approximately 100 people dropped off over 1,000 containers of expired or unwanted prescription medication on Saturday. In all, Barown said, Torrington residents dropped off approximately 130 pounds of medication.
The collection was part of a national drug take-back day, sponsored by the Drug Enforcement Administration.
Nationwide, the DEA collected 377,086 pounds of medications at the most recent take-back event, held Oct. 29, 2011, across over 5,000 sites.
In all, the first three take-back days resulted in nearly one million pounds of medication exiting circulation, once the DEA's efforts were combined with state, local and tribal law enforcement agencies.
National statistics for the Saturday collection were not available.
As was the case with other take-back days, Torrington police accepted any unwanted medication free of charge and on an anonymous basis. For more information on disposing of prescription medication and avoiding environmental hazards, visit http://www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov/.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - The 10th-ranked North Carolina women's soccer team got a goal from Ranee Premji early in the second half and held on for a 1-0 victory over 23rd-ranked Boston College before 1,312 fans at Fetzer Field Thursday night.
It was the first clean sheet for the Tar Heel defense in ACC play as Adelaide Gay went the whole way in goal, making three saves, including a critical stop on a shot by Victoria DiMartino in the 51st minute.
Carolina improved to 7-3-2 on the season and 3-2-1 in the ACC. Boston College is 8-3-2 overall and 2-2 in conference play.
UNC outshot the Eagles 13-9 and had a 9-5 edge in corner kicks but the outcome was in doubt until the final whistle as BC had a 6-4 edge in shots in the second half and pressured the Tar Heel goal for decent lengths of time in the second 45 minutes.
The first half belonged to UNC, with a 9-3 shot edge, but none of the 12 shots the two teams combined on in the first half were on frame. Kealia Ohai had a couple of shots in the box in the first half sail just wide and Summer Green's blast from the top of the 18-yard box in the 25th minute went just high of the cross bar.
The best scoring shot in the first half for BC came in the 20th minute when Stephanie McCaffrey eluded the UNC defense and took a pass over the top for a one-on-one chance versus Gay. McCaffrey took an extra touch on the ball and four Tar Heel defenders converged, won the ball and cleared it out of danger.
The UNC goal came 2:10 into the second half just moments after Gay made a save on a shot by DiMartino that evolved off the second half kickoff. A little over a minute later, Katie Bowen fed Kelia Ohai up the right side. The swift striker from Utah went end line and fed cross crease to an open Ranee Premji who buried a shot past Alexa Gaul with 47:10 elapsed. It was Premji's second goal of the season.
Gay's third save came on a bicycle shot in the box in the 78th minute by Kate McCarthy that was set up by a foul against the Heels near midfield. Gaul made two saves in the closing minutes, stopping a header by Hanna Gardner at 86:21 and a strike from the left of the box by Kealia Ohai at 86:39. The three shots on goal matched UNC's season low previously set against Maryland.
Carolina has eight days off before playing at Clemson next Friday at 7 p.m. Boston College continues its season with a game at Duke Sunday at 1 p.m.

After impressing on international duty this summer at Euro 2012 with two goals in three games, the forward now heads to Turin to seek regular first-team football.
Bendtner, who joined Arsenal as a 16 year-old from FC Copenhagen, has represented the Club on 157 occasions, scoring 45 goals.
Everyone at Arsenal wishes Nicklas well for the season ahead in Serie A.

text: A friend of mine has had quite the setup sitting in his garage for quite sometime and I am now the owner of a lot of Mark Bradley Fett armor and more. The setup was the full set of armor minus the kidney plate, gauntlets, chest lights, shin tools, knee darts, jetpack and some vest/neckseal material. The armor appears to be missing a few of the necessary dents and the cod doesn't have the raised details on the right side. The knees look to be very small and are missing all of the dents. The gauntlets also seem to be a bit small not in fit but overall size and am debating on replacing them. The jetpack kit is very interesting to say the least as it is vac formed and the main body of the pack not counting the rear access door is in 3 pieces. I've been fiddling around with it but the missile, thrusters and tank toppers look great. I wanted to ask how many here have experience with this armor, gaunts, pack etc and know what all would be necessary to bring it up to par for 501st membership. I've asked a couple Fett's within my Garrison and was told to never buy the MB armor lol mainly because of its accuracy but I wanted to see what you guys thought? I'm considering using Alan's templates to build the pack body and using the resin parts from this kit and I'm also thinking about building the gauntlets as well. I've got the armor mostly trimmed out and the slots for the chest display done and I'll probably be adding the dents in sometime this week.

Enough of these vacuums!
30 Seconds in and not one "This thing sucks" comment? I'm impressed.

The unofficial poll question:
How many people DON'T own a Dyson yet? I'll start--I'm one.
many woots, typically $249.99, and here's June woot, for example:
back to work, good night.
Got one of these the last time Woot had them (our existing suck-tool just wasn't doing the job...). I do not regret the purchase for a moment.
Basic Video review.
We see these on Woot a lot, but i finally pulled the trigger last time.
For anyone on the fence... it may cost a lot, but it sure gets the job done. Genius design... push a button to get the rubbish canister out of the vacuum, hold the canister over the garbage, press the same button, and the bottom falls open, letting it all out. Amazing cleaning power - So much actual dirt/dust particles in my canister - never seen a vaccum do that.
A "Ball" vacuum... Seriously?
Man, golfers are a weird bunch.
My brother has one and I have used a few times. Great little vacuum with plenty of suction power. Light and very nimble too. And the design, it is way beyond your average house vacuum: nothing is wasted.
I *really* need a vacuum.......threw mine in the trash 2 weeks ago in disgust. Is this thing worth it?
prttymf8 wrote:Maybe if you were to expand on why you don't think it's worth $250.
Fair enough. Hard to type on my Viewsonic G but 1. Its a dated model. 2. Its an Amazon price, not a Woot deal. 3. Limited Warranty and frankly... its been that price too many prior times and is available from other sellers at a similar price. Lastly when I got one at Costco and did a real objective comparison to my old vacuum it did just ok but certainly not worth 4x the price.
Oh Woot, I had an idea!
How about http://vacuums.woot.com, and sending it all of the roombas and the vacuum cleaners that look like they moonlight as weaponry from the Halo universe?
Seriously, have you guys ever seen these candy-colored plastic monsters in stores and started wondering where the ammo goes in?
Am I the only one who picks up one of these from time to time and gives it a heft, acting like they're a responsible adult thinking about a household purchase but actually pretending somewhere deep inside that they're Master Chief about to lay some whupass on some unsuspecting aliens? And then you turn to your significant other and saying sternly "FINISH THE FIGHT... ON DIRT AND GRIME!" and then having to sleep on the couch that night?
Guys? Hello, guys? Is anyone still there?

totally worth it got one last time and I love it!
Vacuum warehouse had the DC25 Animal a few weeks ago for $240 shipped but it also came with a 3 year warranty
Good Buy, picks up an amazing amount of dirt
Decided to order one. The price is good, the reviews I have read are good, and the wife wanted it. Once I have received it, I will give a proper review
My first WOOT was a refurb DC14 for $264.99 back in 2007. It's still going strong, no regrets at all!
Is it just me being tired, or does anyone else think the picture looks like a superhero going into a dive holding a baton????
I know there's a metaphor in there somewhere. OK, got it:
Superhero powered cleaning, dives down deep, and is the anchor (or lead) for your cleaning team!!!!
I bought one a few woots ago and I've never used the thing. But my housekeeper loves it! It makes her work look superb. Of course, I can afford a housekeeper because I buy cheap stuff on Woot.
I don't have a Dyson ball, but I have a dyson vacuum. Bought it 11 years ago for double this price and it's still working like day one. One of the best appliance purchases I've ever made.
And now for something completely different .........here we have a Dyson!
Raymond Babbitt "It's been 5 days, it's time for a Dyson. Almost a week now,there should be a Dyson. Woot always has a Dyson and it's been 5 days. Today is Friday Woot has a Dyson.
97X, bam! The future of rock 'n' roll. 97X, bam! The future of rock 'n' roll. 97X, bam!"
I bought a DC24 a few months ago for $200 in a Woot-off and haven't been the same since. I have really bad dust allergies and use to go into sneezing fits whenever I emptied the dust from any of my previous four vacuums, but this is so easy and clean to empty that I haven't had an issue yet.
The ball part makes vacuuming a lot easier than one would think unless they used it. I used to vacuum an office building on a weekly basis and wish I had this back then... This is a seriously good product all around.
mladyd wrote:My first WOOT was a refurb DC14 for $264.99 back in 2007. It's still going strong, no regrets at all!
I think we may have taken advantage of the same woot! I was coming here to say that we bought our refurb 5 years ago and it's still running like a champ. We've lost one dog and gained two more in that time, (as well as watched a third dog for a long time and occasionally a cat) and it hasn't slowed down a bit. We use it on tile and carpet and have no complaints.
Bought this one a couple of years ago off Woot and it's a good vacuum. Only major drawback is the cord length - it's way too short. You can basically just get one room at a time done before you have to go plug it up somewhere else.
Rhoombas, Dysons, dirt devils, etc., etc., etc. Enough vacuum cleaners, already! I'll clean up my act, I promise!
This was just on the woot off for $199. Why $249 today?
DISCLAIMER: I'm not an engineer, I just play one on Woot.
I bought my DC25 from Woot back in 2010. I loved it. The honeymoon was fantastic! But now the honeymoon is over. I still love the Dyson, but the infatuation is over as now I see some of it's flaw. And I've been tempted to cheat with another brand, or at least with one of it's siblings such as the DC28.
Here's some of my gripes.
1) The self adjusting, i.e. "floating" head, doesn't do a great job on shorter pile carpeting, especially carpeting that has some years on it. Instead of actually getting into the nap, it bounces over it which leaves debris behind. (I have a minor workaround for this, but that's not the point. You shouldn't need a workaround.)
2) The suction occurs in the middle of the head. But the helix brush goes all the way along the roller. What this means is that half of the brush is pushing dirt towards the suction point. The other half of the brush is pushing dirt away from the suction point.
In order to achieve optimal cleaning, you need to always work from one side to other. (I don't recall if it's left to right or right to left.) Also, for sure when you are vacuuming along the baseboards/walls, you definitely have to have the the right-side of the vacuum along the wall, which means you'd be going counter-clockwise around your house. Otherwise the brush head is pushing dirt away from the suction point and back towards the wall.
3) The wire that loops around the hose is so tight that it barely stretches more than a foot or two before it pulls the vacuum, which normally results in it tipping over. It's not very good for getting the full extension from the hose for doing steps or up in corners/ceilings.
4) This is more minor, but since it has the 'floating' head versus a choice of fixed positions, things can get nasty on a long pile carpet, like shag or if you have a rug comprised of microfiber. In this case, it sucks up too much of the fabric and can potential lock up the roller.
All that said, I still really like the vacuum. The roller ball definitely makes it easy to handle and go around corners, but the other side of that is that it can be difficult to maintain straight lines if you're one of those OCD types that require your vacuum lines to be 100% parallel.
Since the primary selling point of the Dysons used to be the "cyclone" technology, without having other "cyclone"-type vacuums to try, I can't say that this one is the best anymore. Other mfgs such as Hoover and Eureka may have comparable offerings for significantly less.
I don't have carpet, does this work well on wood floors, or should I just stick to the dog licking up the crumbs???
RIGGS1359 wrote:This was just on the woot off for $199. Why $249 today?
I think that was the DC24 if I'm not mistaken...
I've had two of these. The first I bought on woot, and it was a refurb. After about a year, we had problems, and I called Dyson, and of course it was out of warranty. My wife liked it, so we bought another one at BJs. Brand new, fairly good price. Well, another year goes by and it started with the same problem as the other one. It also had a broken collar around the base. I called Dyson, and this one was under warranty. But since I couldn't find the receipt, they back-dated the warranty to date of manufacture, which was WAY back (due to BJs buying a lot of old ones, no doubt) so my warranty, which should have been five years from date of purchase was actually only two years. We got it fixed for free, but now another year has passed, my warranty just ran out, and it's acting up again. I won't buy another Dyson...
I see the DC25 described as "all floors" on sites like Target and Amazon - but I don't see a similar description here.
Obviously, it CAN be used on all floors...but does anyone know if the woot one is designed to go from carpet to hardwood to rugs, etc?
I bought a refurbished Dyson 10 years ago and it is still one of the best purchases I've ever made. By FAR the best vacuum I've ever used and 10 years in its still going strong.

You must be a pirate too. But it does beg the question ... if Dyson is so well made and refubs are done by the factory .... why is do you LOSE 90% of the warranty with a refub?
Worst vaccum I've owned. Wish I could afford to buy a different vaccum. Have had this one for 4 years (bought new from Bed,Bath & Beyond). Maneuverability is great with the ball, but the suction is horrible. My 20 year old Kenmore canister I had before this had a lot more suction power than this. Very disappointed after spending so much for this.
I'm confused. I thought the point of a Woot-off was to get rid of the monthly vacuum surplus...
I don't have one yet! I'm waiting for the D14.
I bought refurbished Dyson here about a year ago, and love it. No mechanical issues, sucks great, on-board tools are easy to use and work well.
This vacuum has outlived and outperformed every other machine we've owned, both on bare floors and carpet. I'm surprised that anyone would complain about a lack of suction. Even when my daughters leave the dustbin jammed solid it still works. The power head disassembles easily with only a coin as a tool. This important because I've pulled miles of hair, some paper clips, and what looked like a dessicated squirrel out of the thing.

I have Sanderson block huggers on my car's engine. Supposedly they are a premium header - but you sure wouldn't think so if you had seen the welds inside the collector and ports. Between short pieces of stuck on MIG wire, weld boogers, runners that were necked down from cutting them with a pipe cutter and sloppy length fitting, it took me several hours each with a die grinder to make them decent. What you are doing once your welds are smooth will have absolutely no affect on temps.
Oh and mine - they are the reason I would never buy them 'factory coated' but send them out to Jet-Hot after your inspection and clean up
Dave W
Followup a year later
Looking through my old posts, I found this one and thought I would make a followup comment, in case anyone has the same question as I did.
After running these headers for a year, apparently my concerns were ill founded. I've had no issues with that inner pipe. I guess I worry about things too much.
Just wanted to put that info out there in case someone with the same type of question comes by this post.
|Grind it as smooth as you can
Altering header reducer
Maybe it's just the worrier in me, but I thought I'd run this by the experts out there: Because of a slight clearance issue, one of my reducers for my new headers needs a modification. If you see the attached pictures, you'll see how I had to cut the reducer back, and put in a new piece of pipe so the whole thing drops down slightly. It hasn't been welded yet.
My concern is with the new 'lip' inside the reducer (see 2nd pic). I intend to flatten it more against the inside of the reducer for a more aerodynamic fit. But there will still be a lip there. Maybe it's my active imagination, but I'm afraid the resistance of this lip could cause it to get much hotter than it should, considering how close it is to the output of the headers. In my mind I see this as a glowing red hot ring.
Am I being ridiculous? Obviously you want everything to be as smooth as possible for good flow, but my concern is making something that will fail.
Any comments?

Alexander Fleming publishes the first paper describing penicillin and its effect on gram-positive microorganisms. This finding is unique since it is a rare example of bacterial lysis and not just microbial antagonism brought on by the mold Penicillium. Fleming kept his cultures 2-3 weeks before discarding them. When he looked at one set he noticed that the bacteria seemed to be dissolving and the mold was contaminating the culture. When penicillin is finally produced in major quantities in the 1940s, its power and availability effectively launch the "Antibiotics Era," a major revolution in public health and medicine Buy Levitra. With Florey and Chain, Fleming is awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine or Physiology in 1945.

A nearly 40-minute scoring drought was the difference in the Canisius College men's lacrosse team's 11-4 defeat to No. 11 Denver on Sunday afternoon in the Frontier Airlines Face-Off Classic. The Griffs drop to 0-2 on the season, while the nationally-ranked Pioneers improve to 3-1.
"We didn't play our best game today and didn't perform nearly to what we are capable of," said Canisius head coach Randy Mearns. "We turned the ball over way too much and the Denver goaltender played very well. We were able to see what we have this weekend and what we need to work on. We'll continue to move forward and get ready for a tough Cornell team in our home opener."
Seniors Steve Berntson and Joe Rautenstrauch, sophomore Brandon Bull and freshman Vince Gravino all netted goals for the Griffs. The tallies for seniors Berntson and Rautenstrauch were both the first of their careers.
Sophomore Alex Goventtio recorded his second double-digit save performance of the season with 10 stops against the nationally-ranked Pioneers.
The Pioneers opened the scoring with a goal 1:51 into the contest but Gravino responded with his third tally of the season in the first weekend of his college career. However, that tally was the last time the Griffs would find the back of the net until it was too late.
Denver held the Griffs scoreless for the next 39:36, while netting nine goals of its own to build a 10-1 advantage. Bull finally ended the drought with a goal with 12:14 remaining but the damage was already done as the Pioneers earned the victory.
The Pioneers finished with a 36-27 advantage in shots. Canisius won 12-of-19 faceoffs, led by senior Mike Moran's 11-of-18 performance, and won the ground-ball battle, 27-26. Denver was 2-for-5 with the extra-man advantage with Canisius going 0-for-3.
Wes Berg led Denver with five points on three goals and two assists, while Ryan LaPlante stopped 10-of-13 shots on goal before giving way to backup Erik Carter, who recorded one save.
Canisius returns to action on Tuesday, March 2, hosting nationally-ranked Cornell in its home opener. Game time between the Griffs and No. 7 Big Red is set for 4 p.m. at the Demske Sports Complex.
Game Notes: The game was moved from Denver to an indoor facility at Air Force in Colorado Springs due to inclement weather ... An all-tournament team will be announced on Monday ... Canisius is now 0-2 all-time against Denver.

If anyone is interested if you go on a site called GunStar you will find they have a few pistols on sale here if you want to aquire the real thing (just bought one myself) :fettrotj
Pretty cool site. Im gonna bookmark it. I eventually want a real webley so my Fett rifle can be 100% authentic hehe :) thaanks for posting!
They never have the right version when I look. Still keep trying.
Here is a little on the flare pistol i found on wikipidia,,Webley & Scott flare pistols
No.1 Mk 1 Flare Pistol on display at the National Firearms Museum
1918 MkIII flare pistol
Webley & Scott produced a number of single-shot, break open signal flare gun devices used by Commonwealth Military Forces during the First and Second World Wars. Perhaps the most prolific of these was the No.1 MkIII, produced in 1918 at the company's Birmingham facility. A variant, differing only in its use of black plastic grip panels instead of the earlier wood, was produced by Colonial Sugar Refinery in Sydney, Australia in 1942. The pistols can often be seen in films, notably Lawrence of Arabia, where the title character discharges one to signal the beginning of an attack on a disabled enemy train, and The Empire Strikes Back where bounty hunter Boba Fett is seen carrying one as a rifle.
The ones with the pistol grip and short barrel come up fairly often.
The one I would like is the full stock and long barrel which are as rare as rocking horse poop.
I might need to start hanging out at firearms sales.
Hey Jakefox, did you get the snub nosed one (No 2 Mk 1) or the one used as the basis for the EE3?
Hi intwenothor it's a mk1 no;III brass pistol body is rounder and barrel shorter , but not a prob as using for rotj version so will extend barrel and as brass can easily mod the body . Still gives the real feel though .
Is it from the 1940's?
No mate Dated 1917 , was used to start the over the top in the trenches hence no stock as was worn like a side arm.
These old flare guns are beautiful. It's easy for me to get distracted with this stuff.
I was referring to this one before which is a Webley Mk 3 No 1 from 1940. It's really close.
But not as close as this one which is the Mk 2 No 1 from 1918.
Agreed , sleeve the barrel add stock would be hard to tell the difference. The no;1 mk 1 is rocking horse doo doo as was mainly used by the RAF and as we know planes and airfields where far and few between , so if you find one hold on tight to it !!
And hey Intwenothor this is the sarlacc general discussion , and is an interesting subject . Perhaps we should post some pics of original guns , rifles ,sub machine guns and their convertions ???
I have seen a Webley revolver that shares the same shoulder stock setup as the No 1 Mk 1. It's a Webley MK 6 revolver and features the stock setup as well as a wicked looking bayonet attachment. The No 1 Mk 1 is based on a Webley Revolver and rushed into servie for 1914 - 18 so the two items would most likely be interchangeable. However, to my knowledge I don't think that the Revolver was ever issued with a stock so it may just be experimentation.
The No 1 Mk 1 flare gun may have later been used by the RAF but not in 1916 they wouldn't have been. The RAF did not exist until 1918 and was created by merging the Roal Flying Corps and the Royal Naval Air Service. It is my understanding that the No 1 Mk 1 was used primarily by the Royal Flying Corps.
My mistake with Raf did mean Royal Flying Corps :facepalm
Found this on different Webley flare gun shapes.
Sorry Jake, I'm a pedant.
A pair of original military issue grips for the Webley. Bench mark plus crown & number. Genuine grips these are wooden.
The grip on the No1 Mk 1 Flare gun is made of brass. The grips on the No1 Mk2 (pictured above) are made from Bakerlite.
For a copy from resin it is enough!
Indeed and far cheaper. A real wooden grip from a real Webley Mk VI revolver would be £50 and up I reckon.
£50 -Cool!:)
Thank you for the price information:thumbsup
For a pair that is. Not one alone. I wouldn't go that high. A bakerlite pair might be less but probably not by much £35 - £40.
I think that these are so rare now that when I get one I will leave it original rather than make any non reversible changes to such a piece of history.
What would be good is if someone made metal castings based on an original, I am sure that if done correctly it would not breach any firearms legislation and would be an excellent resource for Fett costumers.
Didn't someone make bronze castings?
I read something around the 2003-05 era :)
I thought I totally had one today. There was an estate auction that mistakenly listed the gun as a Mark I. Excitedly I contacted the auctioneer and checked for availability. It had sold 1 hour prior for 120.00 wow I thought to myself in disgust. I told them that I'd would have paid 700.00 for it without a second thought. They offered to take my name and number and pass it on to the buyer.
Surprisingly he called and was able to text a message to me. He wasn't sure what it was he had....
It was a Webley alright! Sadly the wrong one though, which ended up being a Mark III pictured below :(
I'm surprised no one has snatched up that No. 2 Mk 1 at GunStar yet......

Followed by black and green.
firebirdude wrote:I can't believe black is dominating by this much. Black is probably my last choice on that list.
This. Black is a terrible shirt color.
I've got green eyes, so any green shirts really bring them out.
Judging by my closet....
Dark/Hot Pink
Sadly, Woot does not offer these. *sigh* Maybe someday......
TARDIS blue!
Asphalt only because it was involved in my favorite woot joke.
Hard to pick. It mainly depends on what's ON the shirt. I like black, white, blue tones, greens, brown - though I don't have any brown t shirts right now.
Heather Grey. Never see it often enough.
anything but black, white, creme or navy.
my white and creme shirts tend to get stained with something largely noticeable. creme does not look good against my skin tone, and white is not much better.
I have a crapton of black shirts leftover from when I was into them several years ago. moreover, I live in Texas. most of the time I wear tshirts is in the summer...when its 100+ degrees outside. I don't like to sweat. I'm not going to add to my black tshirt collection if I can help it. also, if I'm wearing black pants, a lot of times the blacks don't match, especially if they've faded - some fade to gray, some to blueish, some to brown. if I wear lighter pants than my shirt, I look top-heavy. so many reasons to not get black shirts.
much of this stuff also applies to navy, so navy is also low on the list.
generally, I like a wide selection of color to choose from and color-coordinate based on what pants I'm wearing (I really miss my purple pair of pants and my green jeans that I wore out). so, anything but black or white. my favorite is green, it brings out the green in my eyes when I wear green...but cranberry, silver, slate and brown are all awesome too. pink looks great against my skin, whenever I wear pink, everyone comments that it's my color (though pink is my least favorite color in general, it's one of my favorite tshirt colors - I can't deny it looks good on me.)
however, most importantly, my favorite shirt color really depends upon the design. there have been some designs here that would only work on a black shirt that I've been severely tempted to buy in spite of my hatred of black. twice, I almost did - and if I didn't have so many tshirts in my closet already that I don't have much of a chance to wear anymore, I would have clicked the stupidly large purchase button.
Black for sure - then followed by other dark colors: Blue, violet, red
Cranberry! and then Olive.
I can't wear a lot of black or navy as I have a white dog. Five minutes and I look like hell.
Colbalt blue or plum, orange is also good, and I second the cranberry...basically any color that's not neutral.
I concur, they don't have many feminine designs either, but I love buying the shirts for other people
Purple! Although it seems like there are never any purple shirts, it's all black and navy...
Most of these colors are great. Let's have a poll on what the worst color is (*hack* olive green *hack*)!
Silver! The most beautiful color in the world.
Purple, for sure
trekmiss wrote:I voted for navy, but I'm surprised asphalt wasn't on the list. There sure are a lot of shirts printed on asphalt, so I imagine it's somebody's favorite.
Yep, asphalt is the future. Put me down for every asphalt shirt. Great colour, and fun to say, what's not to love.
Teal green. How can you not have teal green!!!?????????????
dark burgundy, dark purple, or dark green. Get to workin' woot.
I voted black. But really, anything but white, yellow, or turquoise. Generally I like darker colours best because I'm grotty.
I agree with purple, a nice bright violet.
May I ask; What is the difference between Slate and Silver? If your going have a limited color palette wouldn't it be better to have two different colors instead of two similar colors?
Mostly, I like it because it goes with everything, is cooler and doesn't show sweat in the summer, and really makes colors pop
I think you guys should do a "white shirt" derby one of these days.
Asphalt and brown!
Navy. Works just as well as black for designing without being "another black shirt." Oh, and I miss heather grey.
I think dark color always work out! black, navy, brown....
artulo wrote:Purple.
I want purple shirts!
YES! In fact, I started purple Friday at work a few years ago... Every Friday I wear a purple shirt, and I've got about half of my team playing along with me :D
black is the new black...also the old black...

text: The points in the paint did not come from turnovers. That's just wrong. The entire first quarter Milwaukee went inside on most halfcourt possessions and scored at will. Their big guys destroyed Mohammed and Sheed (later, their guards started penetrating and scoring inside at will). The only reason the game wasn't a total blowout is that Milwaukee settled for early jumpers too often once they had a decent sized lead. There are definitely a ton of games to go, but Sheed will get thrown out a lot this year, Mohammed will foul out a lot, and we will give up a ton of points in the paint.

Gauguin, van Gogh and Cézanne belong to the generation which came after the Impressionists. Impressionism had paved the way for utterly new ways of painting, and the period 1885-1900 was that of artistic experiment.
The desire to try something new, both in the choice of motifs and technique, as well as in combination of colours, brought about the emergence of several different artistic trends.
These artists were not bound by academic norms, but decided their own premises for their painting. There was no longer a single predominant style, dictated by salons and academies of art, but several different approaches to painting.

It just feels like this team is building in the right direction.

I'm sure the people who work for Woot are way too young to have seen this movie, so they don't get the joke. They're also surprisingly conservative, so if they think you're implying "abortion hangers" they would deem it offensive. I think it's great though, if it's any consolation. :-)
thanks, can definitely see that there are people that would not have seen the movie and don't know what the quote means. On the other hand, there are people on the forum that know that it came from a movie and don't like it. It almost seems like they are taking it as a promotion of child abuse and less like a representation of a famous pop culture quote from one of the countries most infamous mothers.
but in terms of my design, it is definitely hard to see the words and this coupled with either people who are too young to know the context or people who don't care about the context, it is not a good for a T....just when you are in your own home hanging laundry and all you have are wire hangers left. ;)

Congratulations to your mother on four years of survival. The power and effectiveness of treatments these days are truly amazing.

Re: OH! For ME?
Wow, this turned out great! I know in the forums you weren't sure about the colour choices, but you chose perfectly, imo.
*stares at filter* uhhh..... I was typing "oh my god" oO;;;;

I'm glad she'd enjoy it. Male cats were kittens once too. :-)
Re: Your Eggo Is Preggo
Thanks for the schweet coments guys. I was pleasantly surprised to see this bad boy taking up a hotness spt. Do you think I should fix up the mouth, add the words 'your eggo is preggo' and resubmit?
pineconebryce wrote:I was pretty sure it's the symbol for the elements air, water, and fire... At least, that's what it's commonly accepted as, because the original meaning of the design is unknown. So I checked Wikipedia, and I'm right. No mention of a relation to motherhood at all... It is sometimes co-oped to be a symbol for the Wiccan Goddess, who is often viewed (by non-Wiccans at least) as what most people call "Mother Earth." But that's the closest stretch I can find. Your sources?
Not sure about the designer's sources but I found this link...
It shows that there are many many interpretations... one of which is motherhood when the three spirals surround a central triangle.
Re: Thanks, Mom.
I'm a crust hater. GMV!
Re: A mothers advice
I don't know anyone who would see this shirt and not automatically think of their mom. "Don't go out without clean underwear! You never know when you're going to get into an accident!"
Re: Computing for two
She's got a processor in the chassis if you catch my drift.
i agree
NICE, especially with the latest shark attack in San Diego this goes nicely!

Sometimes I really don't get the rejections around here....
Rejections are very sparse over the weekend.. hence many entries like this get added on sat/sun because they know it will probably stick around until Monday.
Friday afternoon and Monday are normally the big rejection days.

I know there are a lot of only children out there, but if you have siblings you probably get the humor here. :-)
I'd like an explanation of this one - Mom over 200?, Mom divided by 200? Help me out.
Re: Scapegoat Stork
It's gonna get rejected. you need to get the right template
The design is off center on the shirt, and the shading on the baby's face makes him/her look, well, ugly. Sorry.
Re: Mama Bear
must... have... this... shirt..........
JadenKale wrote:Hey, not to be picky, but was the mouth line suppose to come out past the edge of the face? Just asking if it was an artistic choice or a mistake that wasn't spotted.
No, it's supposed to be like that. Although, I could have made it look more intentional and less like a mistake, I guess. :^)
I like Terrance and Phillip style mouths that go all the way though the character's head.
Re: All Hail The Queen!
I'm glad I clicked to see the full version, this is really good. You need a better thumbnail though, I think people can't see enough to want to open the big version.

Cool! I'm always happier when I know a shirt will print well. :-)

The filters here can be pretty humorous since they change so often. Thanks for your comments!
folkkevi wrote:Please let me know what you guys think.
I agree with previous poster that the design is too large on the shirt. Having said that, I think it's beautiful and evocative and the shading is fantastic. If you don't make it into the fog, you should definitely submit this design elsewhere.
Also, maybe only one color in the echo shadow instead of two.
Good luck
Re: Your Mama Wears Combat Boots
I wish mom was in full camo... lots and lots of military moms out there. Nice job though.
Re: Despite What Mom Says!
Rejected because apostrophe.
Re: Lady Madonna
Last one for this derby. Didn't finish in time for the Friday opening bell.
This design was inspired by the lyrics "Lady Madonna, baby at the breast ..."from the Beatles Song "Lady Madonna" and by John Collier's famous painting "Lady Godiva" c. 1897. I thought the combination of the two "ladies" made for a nice, compassionate design about the bond between a mother and her newborn.
thanks for the nice comments guys >3< <3
Re: Story Time
Story time with mom
I wanted to try something a little more whimsical.

Thanks! I agree...the lemon yellow shirts are really pretty in person. I think they are prettier than the screen color. Would make a nice summery shirt! Thanks for your vote!

Sidewalk surfing, NH style
Antrim Can/Am races a hit with skateboarders

Saturday was the main event of the slalom races, which started Friday and continue today.Qualifying meets were held Saturday because the competition was rained out Friday.
Quebec skaters Pascal Jean, 38, and Danilo Percich, 51, have been coming since the Antrim Can/Am started eight years ago.
"The course is very good and it's very fun to do. It's a very fun race," said Hubert Roy, 14, of Quebec, who has been competing at it for the past two years.

So 2013, this is happening!
Resolutions are in full force – are you sticking to yours so far?
I took a look back some of my cooking goals for 2012 to see what I actually accomplished.
Making my own yogurt didn't happen, and I definitely need to learn more of my Dad's seafood secrets. But I did make frozen things and, wouldn't you know it, I've made a paella that I'm happy to share with you today.
Please please please tell me you're not on a juice cleanse. Then you wouldn't be able to eat paella with me.
The thought of a juice cleanse brings back memories of my job as an advertising assistant for the most serious of all fashion magazines. Picture irritable, high-powered women in an underfed, over-caffeinated state. Juice and stress and terror go hand in hand in hand in my brain. Just say no.
This year, let's resolve to only eat things that are delicious. Let's resolve to treat our bodies with absolute respect: consume healthy things, consume indulgent things, buy the fancy butter and the best fruit you can find. Be kind to yourself in every way possible.
Let's cook ourselves things that remind us of far away places and happy memories. Paella to me means our favorite restaurant in nyc, epic summer BBQs on Long Island and a trip to Valencia.
Let's make more awesome memories and paella this year.
Vegetable Paella
adapted from Miguel Maestre's recipe
- Cilantro stems and leaves
- 4 cloves of garlic
- 1 medium tomato, chopped
- 1 medium Spanish onion, chopped
- 1 small roasted red pepper from a jar
- ½ teaspoon thyme
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sherry vinegar
- Salt & pepper
- 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
- ½ teaspoon smokey paprika
- olive oil
- 2 small eggplants or ½ medium to large eggplant, cut into ½ inch pieces
- ½ large red pepper, sliced into thin strips
- ½ large green pepper sliced into thin strips
- 1 small summer squash sliced thin (I used a patty pan)
- ¼ cup frozen peas, thawed
- olive oil
- 1 heaping cup aribo rice
- 4 cups vegetable stock
- pinch of saffron
Combine sofrito ingredients in a food processor and puree until almost smooth with no big chunks.
Heat olive oil in your paella pan over a medium high heat. Add eggplant and a pinch of salt and cook for about 3 minutes before adding the red and green peppers. Continue to cook for another 5 minutes. Add in summer squash and a tablespoon or two of the sofrito, cook for another 3 minutes until the vegetables are softened and cooked trough. Remove vegetables from pan and set aside.
In the paella pan, heat a glug of olive oil over a medium high heat, add rice and cook for 1 minute, stirring to coat the rice in the olive oil.
Stir in 1/2 cup of the sofrito and cook for another minute. Add vegetable stock and sprinkle with saffron. Move the rice around only slightly, so as to distribute it in an even layer across the pan. Turn the heat up to high and cook, for 20 minutes, uncovered. Sprinkle thawed peas on top and continue to cook for another 5 minutes.
Place cooked vegetables on top of the cooked rice, turn off the heat and cover with a tea towed and let stand for 5 minutes.
Notes: If you hear a popping sound toward the end of cooking – this is a good thing! It means you're creating a socarrat – the crunchy crust of rice on the bottom of the pan – and the best part of paella!

Arsenal Football Club are delighted to announce that Arsenal in the Community's Jamie Monteith has been selected to carry the Olympic torch on July 9 through Rayleigh in Essex.
Jamie leads on Arsenal's social inclusion programme, Kickz, in Elthorne Park. The programme partners the police with the football industry and sees Arsenal managing six separate projects across four London boroughs; Islington, Hackney, Camden and Westminster. The scheme believes in the notion of 'sport for good' rather than 'sport for sport's sake' and prioritises social contributions ahead of sporting outcomes.
Jamie has been chosen to join more than 7,300 inspirational individuals to carry the Olympic Flame during its 8,000 mile journey around the UK before it arrives at the Olympic Stadium on July 27 to signify the official start of the London 2012 Olympic Games.
Potential torchbearers were nominated through a variety of programmes run by LOCOG and London 2012 sponsors. They aimed to recognise and reward people with a story of personal achievement and/or contribution to the local community.
Jamie was nominated by his peers for the tireless work he has undertaken with young individuals through Kickz and the difference he has made to young people's lives. Jamie has been involved with Arsenal in the Community since he was nine years old through its hockey scheme.
Chief Executive Ivan Gazidis said: "This is a wonderful tribute to Jamie and the work of the Arsenal in the Community team. It's fantastic that Arsenal has two representatives in Freddie [Hudson] and Jamie performing this once in a lifetime duty. Their drive, commitment and passion has inspired young people, many from difficult backgrounds, to become the best they can be and this is recognised in performing this very special task."
Upon receiving the confirmation of his place in the relay, Jamie said: "I'm very humbled to have been nominated and selected to carry the Olympic torch to celebrate the games coming to London. It will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I'll carry it with the young people with whom we work in mind."
The Olympic flame arrives in the UK on May 18 and begins its 70-day journey at Land's End on the morning of May 19. It will visit every nation and region and stop off at landmarks such as Stonehenge and the Giant's Causeway. It will pass through 1,018 places as well as visiting Dublin on its journey to the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games on July 27.
Following the nationwide announcement, Sebastian Coe, Chairman of LOCOG said: "We hope local communities come out and line the streets to cheer on the Torchbearers, and celebrate the Olympic Games coming to the UK."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.
