text: Both Adobe and the Street are fairly bullish on what those numbers will be. On average, analysts polled by Thomson First Call are expecting Adobe to post pro forma earnings of 29 cents a share for the first quarter on $650.3 million in sales. The consensus estimate excludes 14 cents to 15 cents a share in expected charges, stock options compensation, amortization and restructuring costs. Adobe officials, meanwhile, have predicted earnings of 13 cents to 16 cents -- 28 cents to 30 cents a share excluding charges -- on sales ranging from $630 million to $660 million. In the same period last year, before the Macromedia merger, the company earned $151.9 million, or 30 cents a share, on $472.9 million in revenue. Looking forward, Wall Street is expecting Adobe to post a full-year profit of roughly 79 cents a share -- or, not including expenses, $1.29 a share -- on $2.72 billion in sales. For 2007, analysts are looking for $1.48 a share in pro forma profits on $3.1 billion in sales. The San Jose, Calif., company has predicted 2006 earnings of 74 cents to 82 cents a share, or $1.26 to $1.30 a share excluding charges, on sales of roughly $2.7 billion. In fiscal 2005, Adobe earned $602.8 million, or $1.19 a share, on $1.97 billion in revenue. Assuming that Adobe meets those expectations, there's likely to be little market-moving data from its earnings report, Ursillo says. But that doesn't mean investors will be tuning it out. First there's the hunger for information about the Macromedia acquisition. Adobe officials have said that there is only limited crossover between the two companies' customers. In other words, Adobe believes that it likely gained new customers through the acquisition and that it has the opportunity to sell more products to many of its customers.

From the 4th floor of our hotel.
Hello friend. It's been so long since we last talked. And so much has happened in between. Some sad news. We lost our boy, Skylar. And now both our babes are gone.
If you've ever been unconditionally loved by an animal you probably know how deeply this hurts. Losing both our fur babies after sharing 17 amazing years with them has been so much harder on me than I could have ever prepared myself for. Coming home is proving to be the hardest, knowing there's no one there waiting to greet me at the door.
Also, we have been living out of a hotel for the last four months. We had a drain pipe break inside our walls, which flooded both our master bathroom and guest bathroom, master bedroom and kitchen. Between the mold and asbestos, and my killer allergies, we were not able to stay in our home until everything had been resolved. Nothing like two completely unplanned bathroom remodels!
This is our master bathroom, shortly after it was gutted, stripped down to the studs from counter height below…
On a lighter note, during the four month stay at our hotel, we were humored by the fact that Angelyne was also a resident at our hotel. Anyone that lived in Southern California during the 80's might recall the Angelyne billboards scattered all over Los Angeles. And if you're curious, yes, she still has the hot pink corvette, the blonde hair and miniskirt, the whole deal.
In my next post I'll share our bathroom remodels, what a journey it's been!

I was blessed to go to high school with Frank Swanson. He was my saving grace in algebra (a class we took together, although he would graduate that year, and I was a sophomore), without his patient instructions I would have failed for sure. He was the manager of the football team, a sport he was gifted in, but had to give up due to an accident his 8th grade year. Frank fell from a wood truck and landed on the concrete highway, with a fractured skull. He was in a coma for six weeks, and was not given much of a chance to survive. Survive he did, and thank goodness for that.
I have rarely had the pleasure of knowing someone with the amount of integrity, kindness, humor and joy that Frank has. I figure he wouldn't speak ill of the devil - he'd just say that the fellow was misunderstood and needed a hug. Frank spends tons of his own money each year on clothes for kids, on teddy bears for little ones he sees in distress, for paying for groceries for people who came through his checkout line at my hometown Walmart, when they were a little short. There are probably a million things like that he does and we don't know about, because Frank doesn't announce the kindnesses, they must be witnessed and reported.
I visit home often to see my Mom, to spend time with her and my friends, and to make my faithful pilgrimage to Walmart for a Frank hug. That has ended, because Frank was fired recently. I won't expound on the firing, I will just say my business and hugs will be going to a different store from now on.
Here is a news report of the event. Can we send it viral? I think we can. #hugsforfrank #teamfrank #westplainsmo

Shingles and tourch down
I have a ranch house with a 4/12 pitch. On the back is a porch addition that goes up partially on the existing house roof and has about a 2/12 pitch and is about 30 feet long.
I just had a new roof installed with GAF shingles on the 4/12 roof with torch down on the 2/12 roof. My question is should the drip edge go around the porch on top of the torch down with tar substance covering the drip all the way around the porch? If so I don't like it but I have to live with it. I never expected to see tar troweled on my job but I don't claim to know anything about roofing either.
Never seen it done that way. Only seen it under the roofing material.
What should the perimeter look like on a residential torch down roof? If the edge goes under the membrane shouldn't it have a finished edge somehow on top and around the torched down just to give it a finished look and to keep the wind from getting under it.
Anytime drip edge is applied over roofing material the fasteners are exposed.
Exposed fasteners + Element exposure = Roof failure
Flat roofing systems have a greater chance for failure.When the water pools or moves very slowly the water will find a penetration point even more so with snow and ice.
Roofmaster is absolutely correct. Here in Miami roofers torch flat additions a lot. Seems like every house has a Florida Room.
Simple Gaf Ruberoid Torch Granule System:
- Install GAFGLAS #75 or#80 base sheet to Code with roof nails and tin caps
- Torch a 10" strip Gaf Ruberoid Torch Smooth at eave
- A 1"X2" firring strip should be nailed along the top of the fascia to prevent water from running down the drip and onto the fascia. It's a spacer.
- Install 3"x3" 26ga galv drip-edge at eave and nail every 4 inches.
- Apply asphalt primer to deck-side flange of the drip-edge & allow to dry.
- Beginning at eave, proceed to torch rolls of Ruberoid Granule.
This technique sandwiches the drip-edge in rubber.

Hello. I am from North Tonawanda, NY. I have just recently been granted a concealed carry pistol permit here in gun hating New York. My pistol is on order (a ruger LC9), and I have been in many different boards already trying to learn. No matter how much you read though, some things need to be demonstrated to learn. When It comes to guns, I prefer to learn the safe way rather than the hard way. NO ONE in my family or my wifes family has the capability to teach my anything about them, and the local stores only offer the pistol permit class required here in NY.
I am looking for a member who lives locally, who would be willing to meet with me at a range nearby so that I can learn a few things. I don't need a licensed instructor or anything (escpecially since im kinda broke), I just need someone who would be willing to maybe show me the ropes of proper handling, cleaning, ammunition, etc.
Anyone who would be interested please be forwarned, I DO NOT have any means to compensate you unfortunately. It would be more of like a friend helping out another friend sort of thing. Please let me know if anyone can help me out.
P.S. Love this forum already.....

Does anyone know anything about the company Alexandre christie???
Does anyone know anything about the company Alexandre christie???
in Indonesia, you could find it everywhere, a cheappo, always immitate big brand design
it cost about 10 $ to the most expensive is the night vision series (quartz with tritium tube) for 120 $
inside is chinese quartz
and build is not good
I thought only , us, Indonesian people bought this kind of cheapo
where do you see it Shawn?
Moved this thread from the seiko forum to the affordables forum where you might get better help.
For quartz, even a cheap Chinese movt can be very reliable and accurate. YM92 is japan quartz and not Chinese
Finishing is quite good. Price is very reasonable for the night vision one compare to other major night version analog watch.
Unfortunately got no chance to try out and see the night vision luminous. hand.
The night vision one comes with a beautiful box and the watch comes with SS bracelet, one extra pair of resin band and a bracelet removal kit. All at a price of only $170. If the night vision really works as it advertise. I will say its value for money for the quality and price u pay. Remember its a 45mm case watch. Very suitable for macho big size looking guy on their wrist.
I especially like the chrono with red second hand. It even has a decent website. I bet it can't be that lousy.

Hi Shawn, Alexandre Christie is my first watch I bought with my own money when I did my bachelor in Indonesia. I have one with blue dial, chronograph, crystal glass and stainless steel strap in 2003 for around $50. The finishing is great and smooth... Probably a bit subjective but at that time, with my lack knowledge of watch, I can see the difference between a replica watch and my AC; the replica finishing is far more worse than my AC. Now after living several years in Melbourne and owning eight different watches I can say that my AC is comparable with Fossil or the middle price Lorus.
Up to now, it's still running like a wild horse and always keeps time perfectly. So sad I have to leave it back home a year ago...
*PS Dunno about the quality of the latest Alexandre Christie collections, but I have seen their tritium collection and don't interested to have one
Btw this is the last time the AC get pictured (one year ago maybe) before getting polished..

" A great time piece on your wrist show you are serious of time "
I bought it with my first salary as lecturer assistant, and I told my mother that I want to buy a new wristwatch. She brought me to her acquaintance, a jeweler and offer me several models of Alexandre Christie. For me at that time, it is a famous name because I remember in the 90's there's a TV Quiz in Indonesia, and the winner usually gets a pair of Alexandre Christie watch. I quickly grab the one above, and later I've just realised that they also have the pepsi diver style. 2 years later I went back to this jeweler to grab that pepsi, but sadly he's run out of business.
Wearing this watch as my only watch for almost 8 years, with three times battery replacement and at least three times water contacts every day for 8 years!! With all sweet memories I have with Alexandre Christie watch, I feel that I have to correct any false comment regarding this watch... That's all :)

335is or an M3

Mein Auto: '11 E93 335is & '08 535xi
View My Garage
We have both a '11 335is with DCT and an '11.5 M3 sedan with MT. I had an '08 M3 convertible with DCT for a month that I bought as a CPO, but I found out it had been in an accident and the dealer took it back due to non-disclosure.
Here in PA, we have many back country roads, hills and mountain roads for some fun driving.
I bought the 335is vert after the M3 because the lower end torque in the M3 with DCT struggled to climb the mountain road that we live on, and others like it without having the M Drive engaged. The 335is has much more usuable lower end torque.
The 335is feels more nimble and lighter to me when driving curvy roads and going through tight corners, plus the power band is right there for recovery through the turns. The M3 convertible was heavier in the front end and felt like it was plowing in tight corners.
The 335is has a great sounding exhaust. The M3's engine roar sounds excellent.
Comparing my 335is convertible with DCT to our M3 sedan with MT.
The MT takes care of most of the lower end torque difficiencies that I felt with the M3 with DCT (unless you always use the paddle shifters to drive normally in the M3 which would use more fuel).
The DCT in the 335is is fun. In the sport mode, it rev matches on downshifts and you get the burble and back fires on decel. Also in sport mode automatic, it nearly always picks the right gear depending on your driving circumstance.
The M3 sedan looks more masculine than the coupe or convertible, IMO. The flaired wheel wells and the hood scoop, the front fender side vents and the rear end mufflers and exhaust pipes. It's just a better looking car.
The M3 handles curves noticeably better than the 335is. Minimal body roll (compared to my 911 that has virtually none) and you always feel in control. I sometimes feel like the 335is is going to give away through curves.
The M3 sedan does not feel like it's plowing as much through the corners. I think the extra weight of the convertible hurt the handling of the M3.
During normal driving, the suspension on the M3 with the 3+ selections and the non run-flat
is a much better setup. It can handle roads like a great daily driver or turn into a track monster. The 335is suspension is very good however, even with my 19" wheels and ultra low profile run flat
. There are few times when the car feels rough, and the set-up feels kinda like the normal setting in the M3. The selectable M3 suspension just gives you more flexibility.
The M3 as a daily driver is excellent with the M Drive and selectable suspension. You can set it to normal and it is very tame. Set it to sport and it's just plain out fun. The super sport setting is pretty much for the track, IMO. It's just too aggressive for normal spirited street driving.
Both cars are very stable on the highway. There is no bump steer from either at normal settings.
The gas mileage on both is not great. I get an average of 17.5 in FL (I was averaging 14.2 in PA) and my son for normal work commuting in VA is actually getting over 18 MPG.
The cost for maintenenace for the M3 will be much more than the 335is. BMW feels this way too. The Platinum extended warranty for the 335is convertible was (from memory) about $2,800 and the M3 is about $4,800. I'll have to pull out my records for the actual numbers. But, items like brakes and etc. the dealer told me about double the cost to repair the M3 over the 335is.
At the time, I had a ZO6 and was looking for a spirited convertible to also drive for fun. I had first bought the used M3 which was actually less than I paid for my 335is, but I didn't want to pay about $80,000 for the new M3 convertible with similar options to my new 335is which was in the mid $60,000 range. There were not many deals around in the spring of '11 for either car.
If the car is your only car and you save money for maintenance down the road, then I would personally go with the M3 because it is so versatile and it is a really great car.
I am happy with the 335is and will keep it for many years. My wife also loves it and that's primarily why I got one with the DCT. If it was my only sports car, then I would have gone with the M3.
I have not had, nor have I heard of any problems with the HPFP on a 335is.
Let me know if I can answer any other questions because I'm sure there are items I forgot to list.

Sunday Clydesdale
Sunday Clydesdale
Printed cotton cushion with luxury feather filling.
Sunday Clydesdale in Sand, 600x600mm square cushion printed on 310gsm cotton panama with 1150gsm luxury feather-filled pad. Dry clean only. Designed in Scotland and made in the UK.
The magnificent Scottish Clydesdale horse wearing its Sunday-best Scotch harness with peaked collar, cart saddle and special woollen decorations is an amazing sight. 19thC horsemen would spend long winter evenings making decorations for the Spring shows and, in North East Scotland, they'd paint pictures of their horses wearing Scotch harness. Sunday Clydesdale is based on this rare Scottish folk art.
This large cushion coordinates beautifully with the smaller Sunday Clydesdale cushions!

Ethanol Fuel
All of the info looks good; high octane, clean burning, etc. but how would us hotrodders convert our old iron to run on that stuff? And where would we get ethanol? How much does it cost?
Aha, yes, 113 Octane Ethanol means we can build up engines with 11.0 compression ratios without worrying much about knocking and pinging.:)
I have run it with no problems or mods to my engines.
I have never heard of making changes to the engine to accommodate the ethanol but there may be a trick or two I haven't heard yet.
Rat Rods Rule!
The ethanol that you would run in a street car would be E85. It is 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline. I think it is a really good idea. As far as what needs to be done to accomodate your motor, it mainly has to do with rubber parts that werent made for ethanol drying out. My main concern on an older motor would be the carb. As far as where to get it, there are several gas stations that carry it around the US. If you do a little searching on the internet, I am sure you could find a gas staton in your area that has it. It is usually quite a bit cheaper than regular fuel, but it burns about 30% faster because you can mix it at a higher ratio than regular fuel. That is why it makes more hp aslo. Not many people know this buy many new cars are automatically designed to run on E85 they are called "felxable fuel vehicles". Also all government cars, at least in Nebraska, run on it.
Some decrease in mileage can be expected unless you jack up the compression and take advantage of the higher octane rating.
More cylinder pressure will raise the engines efficiency up to help compensate for the lower energy released from the E85. It won't offset the entire loss but it would help.
I can see no reason why an engine couldn't be built to take full advantage of the fuels higher knock resistance and be just as efficient as a gas burning engine.
It's corrosive to the pot metal that carburetors are made of.
aren't carb parts made of brass, and isn't alcohol corrosive to it? Well that's what I thought. Maybe I'm wrong.
If they built cars to run off straight E85, we could have 11.0:1 compression commonplace again:)
1 Attachment(s)
I researched this for a paper last semester (persuasive paper on the advantages of E85) and found that the conversion is not too difficult, though I didn't address the conversion in my paper. There is a lot of information available on the topic and several universities have done E85 conversions successfully. Basically the mixture needs to be enriched (for max power - lean limits are similar to gasoline) and you can run more advance. Engine temps are lowered and cold starting becomes more difficult. One of the conversion projects used a MSD 6 box to overcome the cold start issue. E85 is agressive towards certain plastics and non-anodized aluminum (Edelbrock said my 1406 is compatible with the fuel). I also found out that the old "high test" gas contained a large amount of ethanol to raise the octane, so I would suspect that most of the old muscle cars would only need a jetting change. A quick search will turn up lots of info (including materials compatibility).
Attached is a (poorly formatted) text file of my paper if anyone is interested.
That was absolutely beautiful Rhansen. When do get to see that put to good use, like educating the general public? It would be nice to have an E85 option at every pump.
down here in aus ethenol was used in pump fuel for a while , a lot of late model cars had engine problems , my old v8 loved it ..
must have a tad more compression , they dont have it now,(so they reckon)..
?? is it corrosive..
Simo from aus...
Another good link here - gives good info on materials compatibility.
Where's 4jaw?
He's full of .....this kind of infomation:mwink:
Rhansen, I did a feasibility project on the use of E89 also. That is kind of a weird coincidence. Where do you go to school? I am a fourth year Mechanical Engineering student at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln.
I'm going to a community college for now - to get some math out of the way. I'll most likely end up at Iowa State to finish out my degree.
Need to hurry it up so I can build my 12:1 CR daily driver (ethanol fueled of course). It will probably get 8 mpg and 2 tires every oil change:thumbup:
GM also uses teflon coated fuel lines to prevent the alcohol from attacking the steel fuel lines. They also provide a different computer, with a wider tuning capibility to switch back and forth between E85 and regular gas. Tuning is drastically different.
The blend of the ethenol (corn alcohol) is normally 10% with gas.
Its been in Mich. for years and still is.
The postings kinda reads that some are thinking of using it in a higher percentage. Feds want 15% ethenol in the future.
The jetting and amount of ethenol with compression must be considered.
The more alcohol, the more needed to burn almost twice that of gas.
The mix at the pumps does not need any jet changes.
Its all in the combination of parts used to build the motor, a 12:1 can be built to run on 93 octane pump gas.
As quoted from the site given:
Keep this in mind when designing an ethanol powered vehicle:
"Even after all the top brains have figured out everything on paper and failed to make it work, they still have access to tons of diagnostic equipment and large chunks of money to find out "why not?" Normally, Detroit doesnt put things on the market unless most of the bugs have been ironed out. This ironing out process has so far taken over 80 years for the gasoline engine."[10] - Michael H. Brown, 1981.
All looks good on paper, just like desiging of the cars.
What looks good on paper does not work all the time in real life.
89/93 octane gas with ethenol is still a 89/93 octane burn rate.
my $.002 cents worth. :thumbup:

300 wsm vs 308 or other
I am spending a lot of time looking for the ideal package.:( It seems every time I get set on a rifle I end up finding a\ someone pointing out something is better.
Here are my choices. Brother in law has a new unused weatherby 338 with a great Leuopold scope 2 boxes of ammo $1000.
online there is and an unlimited supply of custom semi custom and various styles of 308.
I was turned onto 300 WSM becuase of longer reach and flatter trajectory...
Here is what I want to do.
I want to hunt and be lethal at the longest possible range. I thought that range was 1000 yards... but.. a lot of arguing goes on when you dare say you want to take a deer at 1000 yards. Not sure that I wll have an opportunity to but....want the option.
I also want to compete in long range... so that is why I liked the 300 WSM lethal to 1000 yards but legal for Shooting competitions...
308 is supposed to be enough for both but hunting limits tend to be inside of 600 yards. 300 wsm is supposed to be both but not as flexible for ranges etc...
what to do what to do???? The 338 is available but I am told it kicks to hard, will destroy the meat.. and does not even fit into competition...
sooo HELLLLP!:confused: what to do?
Budget is fairly flexible but I am looking for .5moa or better from one gun... not 2 guns...

Well assuming that the 338 is a 338 Win mag on the Mark-V action you could have it rechambered to 338Edge and shoot out to 1000yds on elk if the chance came up !! but thats gonna cost a couple hundred dollars more than the $1000 hes asking , still a good deal. If the gun is the
33-378 then that is a big cannon and would be all thats needed.
as for the 300WSM vs the 308 , well the 300 WSM is gonna win every fight they get into ballisticaly , but the barrel is gonna wear out faster , the ammo cost more , it kicks harder , but for deer at 1000yds its a better gun that the 308 if you can shoot it.
Any particular reason that your wanting just the 308 or 300WSM? , look at the ballistics between the 300WSM shooting a 210gr Berger and the 280 Ackley shooting s 162 gr A-max , the 280 wins the drop and wind drift and still has plenty of thump to kill deer at 1K all this with less recoil , and decient barrel life. Hell my 260 with 140 gr bullets has more thump and way flatter trajectory and way less wind drift than the 308 with 175 gr Match Kings and kicks less.
If you look around you can find some used guns for a decient price that guys built just to kill deer at 1000yds , it doesen't take a cannon shooting a spear at 4000fps , but it helps. The 7mm Rem mag , 300 win mag , 280 and 280 ackley all will shoot reliabily to 1000yds and have enought power to cleanly kill deer.

I suggest spending much time browsing this site, especially the basics and starting out section. Put a lot of time into learning the characteristics of the rifles, cartridges, bullets, etc., that you are considering and your choice will be easier. You cannot accomplish your long range goals without knowing your equipment expertly anyway. Also, if you rush into your decision, you may not be happy with it six months down the road. I think you would do well to get a good factory rifle in a middle of the road caliber, learn to load for it well enough to make it shoot sub M.O.A. groups, and then use it until the perfect gun becomes obvious. What do you currently hunt, and what implements do you use? How long have you been hunting?
Good luck.

Thanks for the comments.
I hunt white tail in northern NY adirondacks Farm land
I have enough experience to know that so far shooting 200 yards with a 280, scoped and off hand offers little challenge... I was hunting hand gun iron sights to add some degree of difficulty but that got me every deer I shot at including a slow walking deer at 150 yards. 45LC with corbon plus P ammo.
Bottom line I will spend more time on a range but do not want to own 2 guns or trade them up every year or so...or at least it I don't think I will
300wsm ballistics beat a 308 for terminal velocity and accuracy and I have heard its kick is "not too bad" I wanted a 300 or 308 so I can shoot competition meets at 1000 yards...
the 308 has little kick I understand... but I also hear that kick is all relative.......
sooo with that said...I am also looking for ammo that I can re load and that is relatively common to find.... the 338 was a Mark V as you stated with a great scope... adding a couple hundred to blue print is not an issue either... BUt I am told it kicks worse than a 300 wsm or 300 wm...
when you speak of barrel life how many rounds are you talking about? 500? 1000?
I thought I would get about 100 replies on this sight... I mentioned shooting a deer at 1000 yards on a long range target sight and got harassed for days... :eek: but a lot of talk.. with little/ few suggestions...
I will look up a 338 edge and see what it is all about.

Looks like you have gotten excellant advice so far!!
Thought I would throw out my experiences and maybe they would help you along as well.
I shoot .308 and 300WSM rifles almost exclusively. I don't have the budget nor do I see the open country to use anything "bigger". I admire those that do and can!!
I rely most on the 300WSM for my elk hunting although I use it for deer and hogs as well on occasion. My first elk was a cow taken at 685 yards in CO.
I used 150gn TSX which are accurate in my Remy 700 off the shelf gun. You have to load your own and experiment with seating depth to find the sweet spot. As for as kick or recoil, it is a little more then a .308 but not a sharp uncomfortable recoil. Even off the bench and bags it is manageable. BTW, I am not a big (5-9, 180) or young guy (52) and I can shoot it as long as I have ammo!! As for as barrel life, I don't have a clue I know I have shot mine around 150 times in 2 years mostly at the range, as all the animals I have taken have been 1 shot DRT's. I may buy a spare barrel, as I see new take offs for less then $100 all the time. I would expect the barrel to be shorter then the .308's, as it pushes that 150 grain at at 3200fps plus.
My .308's are both in Remy 600 and 700 models and I have a few FAL's, none of them give me a problem with recoil. The 700 is a "mountain rifle", lightweight with a 21" tube. I consider both of the .308 bolt guns to be backups for my CO trips, but I don't consider them to be in the "range" of the 300WSM. The 600 has a muzzle blast that is a experience!!
I don't shoot any true competitions, so I can be of no help there. My only reccomendation is to buy all the scope you can afford, finding one that will have a "true" zero can be a adventure! I went fairly cheap there and have been lucky that it holds its zero and is repeatable.
A buddy uses a .300 RUM, and sees a lot more velocity then the .300wsm, of course he burns a lot more powder!
Maybe get a hold of your friends and shoot their guns to find your limit on the recoil you want to deal with and then choose from there.
Good Luck!

ok leaning towards 300 wsm
i am leaning to the 300wsm again.
I tend to have a higher tolerance for all things that go bang... (shoot 45LC magnum like rounds from a pistol with western style wood grips and will shoot it as long as my money holds out...)
rifles? Kick is what it is. I am 40, about 6-1 and a bit lighter than you but know darn well when I take a 1000 yard shot at anything I will be on the ground with a bi pod or other support... so I am not concerned with recoil there as it will have to pass through most of my body prone vs knocking my shoulder while standing up... sooo...
thanks again... I must admit I tend to over do anything with when it comes to power. :o
I am financing this gun by selling off a 1000 CC Italian sport bike...:( but my knees and family time suggest a gun is better for me... cuz the kids will also be getting a rifle (trifecta) to shoot with me... the wife too... shooting is about to become a family affair. 1000 cc was more than I ever needed but it looked so damn cool and had a ground thumping sound (over do it. you see?)
I need a hobby where it keeps me home (reloading) and all of us at the range together... theory works for me anyhow.

Upstate ,
I have hunted with a lot of calibers, from .223,243, 30-06,7 mag,300 wm, You will not be dissapointed with the 300 wsm .. I have not delved into the 338s or greater for one reason.. The 300 wsm is... acurate,accurate,accurate, factory ammo is available and reasonable, it kills dead,dead,dead. It is forgiving, if you hit back, or low inside the ribs. It is fast, and to me , A guy with the same frame, does not kick..but that goes back to my hunting with various calibers..Kind Regards..

Behind Amazon's and B&N's Tablet StrategyKevin C. Tofel
Barnes & Noble is holding a press event on Nov. 7, when it is expected to launch a successor to its popular Nook Color. Details and specifications of the new Nook Tablet have already leaked to the Web: The 7-inch slate gains performance, loses weight, and bears the same $249 price as the prior model. It's too bad that other tablet-makers aren't taking a cue from Barnes & Noble, as well as from Amazon and its Kindle Fire tablet: Simplicity and reasonable prices, not specs, will win the tablet wars.
Both Amazon's and Barnes & Noble's tablets share this idea of simplicity and relatively low cost, with each priced far below the typical $499 entry point for a larger tablet. Neither is meant to handle some of the heavier, computer-like tasks that their bigger brethren address. While some consumers have used iPads or Android tablets to replace some—in a few extreme cases, all—of the functions of a laptop, neither the Fire nor the Nook can replace a computer.
This allows both companies to focus on providing a great experience for the functions that consumers most want: reading digital media, browsing the Web, consuming video content, checking e-mail, and running a handful of popular applications found in curated application stores. Think of the controlled Apple iPad experience in a cheaper, smaller form.
I say "controlled" because although both the Fire and Nook are built on the Android platform from Google, both have a custom interface that completely hides any of Android's warts. Each has its own third-party app store filled with compatible Android apps, but the apps are chosen by Amazon and Barnes & Noble, eliminating tens of thousands of marginal software titles. Also eliminated is a lengthy carrier contract: Both devices are Wi-Fi only and lack mobile-broadband radio, so there's no contract or monthly fee for 3G or 4G service.
Lower Prices, No Contracts
Contrast these tablets' approach with the array of iPad competitors from Samsung, Motorola Mobility, HTC, and others—most of which cost far more. Yes, many Android tablets are similar in size to the iPad, if not larger, but Samsung and HTC each offer a 7-in. slate as well. I bought a 7-in. Galaxy Tab last December for $300—$100 more than the Fire and $50 more than the new Nook, It came with a contract for the 3G radio, which has cost me an additional $40 per month. I gain mobility because the device is connectible anywhere, but it's not always worth $40 on a monthly basis.
The traditional computing companies that are making tablets have embraced a computing-centric approach. The devices are often marketed more via specifications than on the experience the devices can provide. Throwing more hardware inside a tablet doesn't guarantee a bestseller. A focused ecosystem with digital content, paired with inexpensive yet capable hardware, is likely a better recipe for success. Both newcomers to the tablet market have content; the computer-makers don't.
Even from a strict hardware perspective, Barnes & Noble has outmaneuvered the traditional computer makers when it comes to tablets. If the leaked Nook Tablet specs are accurate, the $249 device has a dual-core processor, 16 GB of memory with an SD card expansion port, a 7-in. display with 1024 x 600 resolution, and an expected battery life of eight hours. Compared to Samsung's new Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus, now available on Amazon for $399, it offers a near-mirror image of specifications, yet costs $150 less.
It all amounts to another lesson for the traditional hardware-makers: You can sell your hardware at cost—or even at a loss—if you can also sell profitable content to make up the difference.
Priced for Impulse Buying and Gifts
Barnes & Noble essentially created the beginnings of a second tablet market last year , when it released the original Nook Color. This holiday season, the market expands with a $199 Kindle Fire and the new $249 Nook Tablet. The price for the original, still-capable Nook Color is expected to drop to $199. At this range, the smaller slates grow closer to becoming impulse purchases and are surely good candidates to become top-selling holiday gifts. The same can't be said of larger tablets that cost at least twice as much.
Surprisingly, it took two bookselling digital-content companies to figure out that there's a market for smaller, less-expensive tablets that focus on key consumer activities. The Fire and Nook may not replace computers. For most people, neither does the iPad—yet it's easily outselling comparable Android tablets by a large margin, according to the limited data available.
It's almost a shame that the computer-makers didn't see what we saw more than a year ago: Building a solid, inexpensive tablet that does a few desirable things very well may be a better strategy to sell a tablet that isn't called iPad.

Strange, I have an iPhone 4 on 4.3 and it jailbreaks and installs Cydia but the Cydia icon is white and it starts to open then closes right away. This device has never been jailbroken so I can't restore it to 4.3.
redsnow OSX link in OP is removed from google.
proper link now?
Does anyone know for sure if there is a jailbreak and unlock to make my iPhone 4 work?
iOS 4.3
Baseband 4.10.01
Bought it from Chicago in April and can't believe that it is still not usable using jailbreak and unlock!
Any help will be highly appreciated.
OK, so I'v been reading the forem and have found a few sites to help but would still like some assistance, dont want to mess this up. I just got a new iphone 4 that is already updated to 4.3.3, I have downloaded redsn0w but do not have any .ispw files, I have searched the itune folder and noticed there isnt an update downloaded for me to mod. A few sites have this download avail. but when downloaded there is not .ispw file in the zip.
Noticed a few people saying to make one but jb is new to me and I dont know how to do such, found this site Firmware - The iPhone Wiki but i'm not sure if its trust worthy, comments?
That is the correct site to download FW from - it is certainly trustworthy.
Just change the extension from .zip to .ipsw and it should work - an ipsw is a zipped file with a different extension.
Dear Pros:
I have a iphone 3gs, version 4.2.1. Last year I jail broke and then unlocked my iphone and it is working fine. Yesterday, after I removed the iFile app. I noticed that the Cydia app on my iphone has been removed also. Currently the phone is working fine. I would like to get some help in reinstalling Cydia. My notebook PC's OS is windows Vista. Please help. Thanks
I need some advice. I have an Iphone 4 and I am running a 4.0.1 jailbreak. I cant use some themes so I want to upgrade my firmware and jailbreak. Should I use pkgbackup or aptbackup? Also, can someone please list the steps simply? Just tell me if there is something very important that I need to before restoring my phone and jailbreaking it again. I dont know if this matters but I live in Japan. There is only one carrier and I dont know anything about tethered or untethered etc. Should I restore or update? What firmware should I use?
Thank you
Buy and use pkgbackup, restore to 4.33 and JB with RedSn0w 9.6b16
I just want iTether dammit! My iPhone 4 has TetherMe ready to go, but I can't connect my iPad 2 without iTether!! Someone made reference to connecting the iPad 2 to my iPhone 4 via Bluetooth, but that doesn't seem to be working. Any suggestions?

and i'm hassling him how??
i got the mounts and stuff already off one of my parts cars,,let me know
how much would you be willing to sell the links for?
i dont know make me an offer
well darkfire1986 said he got his aftermarket ones from Mike for $30 shipped, hows $20 shipped since they are used and oem? How many miles are on that "parts car"?

- In the two pictures below are shown the stoker mounting plate and its installed position in the base. In an actual install, the stoker would be mounted to the mounting plate and set into the base and secured. After that, the air pipe would be installed and then the pot assembly and cleanout rod and lever would be installed and adjusted.
For ease of viewing, the stoker mounting plate is not shown in the following pictures and explanation.
The air pipe (1) is fully inserted into the stoker assembly and the notch in the pipe is indexed with the Groove pin which is located under the air indicator plate (3). The set screws (4) are now fully tightened.
The pot assembly is then indexed to the stoker at a 90 degree angle using the notch in the air pipe and the roll pin (2) in the pot assembly. The set screws (5) are then full tightened.

- The cleanout lever is installed. There are two choices of cleanout rod. The standard straight arm is for stoker units without the optional oil burner kit. The curved arm lever is for use with a stoker that has the oil burner installed directly above the stoker. Since the stoker can be mounted on either side of the base, depending upon which side the coal bin is located, there might not be a conflict with the oil burner and stoker clearances.
The eye is removed from the cleanout rod and the rod is inserted through the hole in the fan housing. The eye is re-installed and connected to the pot assembly as shown. Note the proper position of the eye casting. The cast number on the eye faces toward the ash tub.

- When the cleanout lever is pulled back, the cover will open the five ports to allow coal fines to empty into the ash can. The cleanout rod spring will also be fully compressed. The eye must be adjusted, which effectively lengthens or shortens the cleanout rod. Keep a minimum of 3/8" of threaded rod engaged in the eye. The eye can be threaded in or out to achieve the port openings shown above. There is a point where the spring will fully compress and moving the eye will no longer have an effect on the port opening.

Comment on Islamification of Britain by David.
Although parties tend to have policies that appeal to a set of voters, with the main parties targeting the middle ground of politics, government should never be populist just because it keeps them popular.
Look at Labour and the Iraq war, going to war is an unpopular decision, but right or wrong they made a hard decision and so can't be described as only a populist political party.
Conservatives are going to slash spending on services if they gain power which will be very unpopular, in their eyes it's something that needs to be done, would be easier to not cut services so much and be less unpopular, so again not only a populist political party.
Everything I've read about the BNP is pandering to their core supporters fears/anger over immigration and Islamification, it's popular right now to blame lots that's wrong in Britain on immigration and Muslims, the BNP are a populist political party. I I can't think of any BNP policy where their core supporters would be unhappy with it?
Also I thought my 6 point example explained why governments can't be populist (at least not to an extreme), doesn't work in the real world.

You know that if your nickname is "Sweetness," you must be pretty great. Walter Payton was sweetness.
Playing RB for the Chicago Bears, Payton ran like no one before him and no one since. He was fast and ran like a gazelle, but he was also tough as nails and hit linebackers like a bison.
He was a nine-time Pro Bowler and retired holding the NFL records for most career rushing yards, touchdowns, carries, yards from scrimmage, and all-purpose yards.
When he wasn't running the ball, you might see him throwing it. Payton's eight career touchdown passes are an NFL record for non-quarterbacks.
Sweetness won two NFL Most Valuable Player Awards and won Super Bowl XX with the 1985 Chicago Bears. He was elected into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1993.
He was also simply a good dude who cared about kids. Peyton formed the Halas Payton Foundation in 1988 to help inner-city kids in the Chicago area and later established the Walter Payton Foundation, also dedicated to helping young people in the state of Illinois. Sweet.
What else was happening the 1993?
The Dallas Cowboys routed the Buffalo Bills 52-17 in Super Bowl XXVII.
Unforgiven won the Oscar for Best Picture.
Bill Clinton was elected the 42nd President of the United States.
Jurassic Park was the top-grossing movie of the year.

Perhaps Wade sensed that as well. At one practice, he was running late as the media types were looking out on the practice field and scratching off the numbers of the players on the field. Wade, as he ran past, joking said, "I'm still here. They ain't got rid of me yet."
It would seem that Wade will avoid "The Turk" Saturday after reportedly agreeing to a restructured deal. He was scheduled to make $3 million this year, but will likely see that number cut by about 50 percent. By agreeing to the restructuring this close to the final cutdown, it would appear as though his job is safe, if it wasn't already.
But what about the other players on the bubble? There has been speculation that the Vikings might consider keeping all four quarterbacks, but that is a hard pill to swallow for many, especially in light of Minnesota's special teams woes last year.
Most (but not all) teams keep three quarterbacks on their 53-man roster – some keep only two. The reason is simple. The No. 3 quarterback is rarely active. John David Booty was the Vikings No. 3 quarterback last year and was never active for any of the Vikings' 16 games in 2008. As a result, he is still eligible for the practice squad if things don't work out for a roster spot and he can clear waivers. While most understand the necessity of having three quarterbacks, the fact of the matter is that, in situations like the Vikings have, the No. 3 quarterback actually gave the team a 52-man roster, since Booty never played.
How can the Vikings keep four quarterbacks? Given that Brett Favre is going to tie Jim Marshall's iron man record of 270 straight games played in the regular season opener at Cleveland, it seems likely that the No. 2 QB will see extremely limited action, leaving the No. 3 and 4 QBs as essentially dead roster spots. To keep a fourth quarterback, it would have to come at the expense of another position. Do you keep one less wide receiver, offensive lineman, defensive lineman, linebacker or cornerback? Not too likely. More often than not, young players at those positions make the roster because they bring value on special teams. A fourth quarterback offers little in the way of season-long production or value.
Although many roster prognosticators can make a point for keeping four quarterbacks, it doesn't look to be in the cards when the Vikings make their cuts Saturday. How they will get the list to three (if they do) is unclear. Will it be Booty who gets the pink slip? Will it be Tarvaris Jackson – either traded or released? It won't take long to find out.

Healthy people are rarely infected by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Consequently, serious P. aeruginosa infections are rarely community-acquired. However, in the hospital setting, P. aeruginosa causes about 7–15% of life-threatening bacterial infections such as bacteremia and pneumonia.1–5 In cystic fibrosis (CF), P. aeruginosa is the predominant pathogen.6,7 P. aeruginosa merits special attention as a common bacterial nosocomial pathogen, for the mortality rate is significantly higher than that seen in infections caused by other common gram-negative bacilli and staphylococci.8–10 Thus, in the host compromised by extreme youth or age, trauma, cancer, immunosuppressive therapy, or mechanical ventilation, P. aeruginosa can be a highly virulent pathogen.1,2,8–10 In the compromised patient P. aeruginosa has several attributes that contribute to its high virulence. P. aeruginosa is innately less sensitive than other common gram-negative bacilli to modern antimicrobials such as semisynthetic penicillins, third-generation cephalosporins, aminoglycosides, and fluorinated carboxyquinolones.11–15 Resistance can emerge during anti-microbial therapy, resulting in treatment failure.16–20 Also, it is insensitive to frequently used agents such as trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, tetracycline, ampicillin, and first-and second-generation cephalosporins. The use of theselatter oral antimicrobials for infection prophylaxis profoundly alters normal flora and can promote colonization of the host.21–23

text: Indian economic growth is averaging 8%, and is projected to reach double-digit growth rates. The Indian energy requirements are likely to grow at 6% vis-a-vis the world growth rate of 2%. India has limited energy reserves, and seeks to increase its energy efficiency with contemporary technologies. The higher economic growth has been achieved with limited electricity supply implying higher productivity, which needs to be investigated carefully. The country seeks carbon finance through CDM projects. It has launched an Energy Dialogue in close collaboration with the US DOE and is participating in the Asia Pacific Partnership (APP) with six countries including the US. This talk will describe India's energy needs, potential sources for meeting them, and challenges in the road ahead that require the development of a Blueprint for Energy Efficiency for adoption by India.


text: Budget- Not HAVING a Budget- According to this report, over HAL of Americans report not having a budget and 20% have no idea how much they spend on housing food and entertainment. No one has so much that you can just make spending a hobby – without keeping track- and think that life will be cozy, cause it just doesn't work that way. You don't get in your car and make a trip without thinking about gas especially if there are many miles between stations. Budgets are cozy. It's your money's plan for fun and savings, bill paying and your future. A budget is a good thing. Please have one.Saving- Forgetting to save or not knowing HOW to save is mistake number 2. According to the report 40% of respondents are saving less this year than last and another 40% have NO money saved for retirement. Many surveyed reported that they didn't know HOW to save. I'm not even sort of suggesting that you need to be perfect at any of this, but you do have to try. That's what grownups do. They make proper plans. And when they don't know how to do something, grownups ask for help.Overspending – As to overspending, 25% of those polled said they are spending more than they did last year. And if spending is part of your plan, part of your budget, that is terrific, but if it's happening from emotion, lack of discipline, honey, that's not good. And it can hurt you and your family in the short and long run.Credit- Mishandling your credit cards and not handling your credit score- this is mistake number 4. It's advised that we all check our credit reports at least once a year. Though that won't give you a credit SCORE, it will have you see what activity is showing on your report. You can do that for free by going to AnnualCreditReport.com this is the only site recommended by the Federal Trade Commission. Credit Karma (at CreditKarma.com) can give you a credit score when you create an account with them.These big mistakes are avoidable, friend. There are MANY kinds of budgets and you can make one. Make savings automatic, for your Christmas Club, your vacation, for your retirement. It's okay to not know how to do money, how to handle it or manage it. But it's NOT okay to know you are confused and not do something to change your condition. Ask for help! Borrow a book from the library. Get online and do some research.Citations:

Born in Saigon, poet and editor Ocean Vuong was raised in Hartford, Connecticut, and earned a BFA at Brooklyn College (CUNY). In his poems, he often explores transformation, desire, and violent loss. In a 2013 interview with Edward J. Rathke, Vuong discussed the relationship between form and content in his work, noting that "Besides being a vehicle for the poem's movement, I see form as … an extension of the poem's content, a space where tensions can be investigated even further. The way the poem moves through space, its enjambment or end-stopped line breaks, its utterances and stutters, all work in tangent with the poem's conceit." Acknowledging the ever-increasing number of possible directions each new turn in a poem creates, Vuong continued, "I think the strongest poems allow themselves to collapse completely before even suggesting resurrection or closure, and a manipulation of form can add another dimension to that collapse."

Whoa....I'm gonna do this now....sweet build man.
Whoa....I'm gonna do this now....sweet build man.
I was really questionable about using polyfiller, but now I have seen that it works, I'm off to get some. I found that the ever wonderful Mr Cheap has got some ex-stock near me so I'm off to get some now. If you have one near you , it['s well worth popping in on a lunch break and pickin up some cheap art stuff. I managed to get sculpting tools for about £1.
You have lots of patience my friend. Looks great!!
i wish i would have seen this thred b4 purchasing my lid. it only cost me $75 but still. that is an awesome build my hats off to u
I haven't posted anything in ages because I've been away (doing an Architecture degree)
But now I'm back and have got thoroughly stuck into making my rangefinder.
First of all I purchased a metronone kit from Maplin as well as some green LEDs.
As soon as I got the kit I assembled it according to the instructions and then began to sync the lights up to the right speed (2.13 Hz), by adjusting the two pots to 40KΩ each.
That was fairly easy and formed the basis for my rangefinder circuitry.
Next I desoldered the 9v clip, the LEDs and the capacitors. I re-soldered the capacitors, leaving longer leads so I could fold them down flat.
I had to extend the leads of the LEDs, this was fairly simple, I just soldered on some short lengths of wire and added heat shrink tubing.
I then re-soldered these longer LED's into place.
Also I filed off the unused areas of the board.
Until I could scavenge another resistor (maplin only sell them in massive sets) I'm leaving the circuitry here.
Total spend is now £9.58.
- Large card for main helmet & mask : £2.00
- Pint o' PVA Glue : £3.00
- Metronome kit : £3.99
- Superbright green LED : £0.59
Next up is the rangefinder housing. If I remember correctly this part isn't detailed in either of Antman's threads
(which I have been following fairly closely) So I'll try to show a bit more detail.
First of all print out a set of WoF's templates from the gallery.
I'm using 1mm thick mattboard (scavenged from an old sketch book)
So I then began to mark the various places I would have to trim 1mm off of to keep the correct shape.
The dotted lines show where I'm going to angle both edges at the corner rather than just trim one of them.
Here are the pieces cut out.
I began to angle some of the pieces with a knife and sandpaper. I also drilled out the LED holes using a 5mm wood bit.
Then I just began assembling all the pieces.
I had to be careful, trying to make sure the sides were square.
One of the pieces didn't quite fit, overtrimmed, but I'll sort that out later
After letting it dry a while I decided to paper mache' the inside, to cover the small cracks and strengthen it a bit.
Here is the housing after having been trimmed, polyfilled and sanded quite a lot.
Then I brought out my circuit and did a test fit, bending the LEDs into roughly the correct place.
The circuit fits easily into the housing. The only problem is that it infringes on the lens' space more than I would like.
But I can't be bothered to move all the stuff onto a smaller board.
According to the WoF templates, the ESB rangefinder doesn't have that little lens on it, but I decided to make one anyway.
The first step was to mark out the areas to trim.
Then carefully cut the pieces out of 1mm thick mattboard
I filed a v shape on the opposite side of this bend to stop the card wrinkling when I bent it.
Then I glued the pieces together, careful with the delicate 'hinge' area.
Here is the piece after some careful sanding.
This a little video of the lights in operation
i too am building a super cheap bucket and id be extremely happy if it turns out anything like yours...the sanding takes forever >_<
Don't know how I managed to miss this thread. Nice work on the rangefinder, very neat. Looks like I'll be off to Maplins soon. I will be sure to refer back to this thread later on in my build. Not quite at your stage yet, STILL sanding my dome. It looks like it's been snowing in my garage!!
Any progress on this moe? I'm doing my own cardboard bucket so this is really helpful.
Unless I missed it, you didn't fibreglass the dome did you? Do you think it'll be necessary? I still need to put filler on the dome but I'm wondering whether to glass it first.
Sorry there's been no progress, I'm back at Uni and I haven't had any spare time to start spray testing.
I haven't used fibreglass, I don't think it's necessary for this. The dome is solid and there's no chance of it collapsing in on itself.
If it takes a knock you will get dents, so if you're going to be wearing it a lot then you may want to glass it to protect the surface.
looks great! that dent really turned out well!
another year's gone by with no work on the bucket. But I'm back for the summer and have been experimenting with picaxe integrated circuits.
Whilst an IC is really overkill for making two lights alternate, by using a chip for my rangefinder circuit I can make my circuits really small and simple.
Today I set up a simple circuit that flashes the red leds in the right sequence. powers up* an internal bright led and then after a short delay flashes a simple message inside the rangefinder. e.g. 'targeting'
all the work is done by a tiny 8 pin IC with 4 leds attached.
I also wanted to add a piezo speaker to make a power up sound (like when you charge the flash on a camera)
I haven't had time for pics/ video tonight, but hopefully tomorrow I can post some pictures to make it clear what I'm talking about
*when I say powers up I mean it goes from dim to light, giving the impression that the rangefinder is booting up or something.
hey moe im very new to this. actually just joined a few days ago and let me say that ur thread has giving me confidence that i can make a cool lid inexpensively. i wanted to know if u put any kind of pads or like a hard hat piece on the inside so it fits snug on your head or wat?
At the moment there isn't any permanent padding, but if you are gonna wear this you will need some.
I've been using foam temporarily, easier to cut to size and install.
But a well placed hard hat type thing would be less hot and probably better.
Thanx alot! Im sure that foam would get pretty hot.
Im sure i could install an adjustable hard hat piece with little dificulty.
THanx again for the help and thread. Iv just started my set of armor and will definetly learn from this.

Landlords are key market for ECO stallers under Green Deal, experts say:
— Energy Saving Trust research shows high private rented sector demand for green measures upgrades —
— Solid wall insulation is key – nearly half of private rented homes could benefit[1] —
— Energy Saving Trust's data and insight to help installers target inefficient rented homes —
Tenants in private rented housing want to go green – but are LEAST likely to be benefitting from energy efficient, money saving upgrades, new research from the Energy Saving Trust has found.
The exclusive survey of more than 2,000 UK adults found of those living in privately rented housing:
39 per cent were interested in an energy efficient boiler upgrade
44 per cent were interested in double glazing
45 per cent were interested in insulation
When it comes to insulation research shows that homes in private rented accommodation with cavity walls are least likely to have cavity wall insulation fitted (34 per cent) compared to homes owned outright or mortgaged (51 per cent)[2].
But the biggest opportunity for the private rented sector is solid wall insulation, with nearly half of homes being suitable for this measure, which is approved to receive funding under the ECO as part of the Green Deal.
David Weatherall, housing strategy manager at the Energy Saving Trust, said: "This is a win-win situation for both landlords and tenants. Landlords get home improvements without the upfront costs, and tenants have warmer homes to live in. Neither needs to be out of pocket, or cold!
"The problem's been that over half of private rented homes were built before 1944. They're often cold, expensive to heat and most have traditional solid walls. In the past there have been few grants to improve insulation in these solid wall homes. But now, substantial financial support for solid wall insulation is available to all GB private landlords under the ECO grant scheme, which is linked to the Green Deal.
"ECO will provide some of the funding for solid wall insulation, while the rest will come from a Green Deal loan with the money being paid back through financial savings on energy bills. The massive savings from solid wall insulation – typically around £490 per year[3] – should cover the Green Deal repayments."
Energy Saving Trust's UK databank of home-by-home information lets organisations and installers target the right homes with advice about the right energy saving improvements at the right time. Following the launch of Green Deal and ECO, the Energy Saving Trust is urging tradespeople and builders undertaking refurbishment work in the private rented sector to encourage landlords to consider green upgrades and allow them to take advantage of the schemes.
Weatherall continued: "We have detailed information on what is happening with the UK's housing stock – some of the leakiest in Europe – and where.
"We know which homes are likely to be rented privately, and which of those require energy efficiency upgrades that could benefit the landlord and their tenants. This helps ensure installers only target the homes most in need of energy efficiency improvements under the Green Deal."
All installers need to acquire Green Deal Installer certification to offer energy saving improvements through the Green Deal. Energy Saving Trust is the only consumer-facing organisation providing Green Deal Installer certification, making it a recognised brand for potential customers.
Private rented accommodation is traditionally seen as some of the country's 'energy leakiest'. Landlords have a responsibility to provide habitable conditions for tenants by making sure the home is adequately insulated, and by 2018 homes with the two lowest Energy Performance Certificate ratings will be unfit for rental under Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) rules.
Weatherall added: "Landlords should act now to make improvements while offers like ECO exist, which offer additional funding to improve the energy efficiency of leaky homes, rather than waiting until 2017 when the same funding might not be in place."
The new survey results are based on an exclusive IPSOS Mori survey of more than 2,000 UK adults conducted between 28 September...
and 2 October 2012.
Green Deal enables private firms to offer consumers energy efficiency improvements to their homes, community spaces and businesses with no upfront payments. Costs are recouped – as savings accrue – through a charge in instalments on their energy bills, with money passed on direct to Green Deal providers by energy companies.
The Energy Company Obligation, or ECO. It is the Government's new domestic energy efficiency programme, and is designed to supersede the CERT and CESP programmes. It will work in parallel with the Government's Green Deal from the end of January.
ECO will create a legal obligation on certain energy suppliers to improve the energy efficiency of domestic households, particularly those on low income and those requiring more expensive energy-saving upgrades.
Installers interested in working with the Energy Saving Trust should visit the website at http://www.energysavingtrust.org.uk/Organisations/Green-Deal/Identifying-your-market-home-analytics or contact email@example.com.

"We absolutely loved our invitations for our daughters baptism! The invitations look exceptional the print and delivery were prompt, we were kept updated with the status throughout, would highly recommend!"
"Quality of invite is great. Printing is flawless. Only issue is that one of my twin babies has a shorter name than the other so it looked a little funny."
"This card was perfect except that it had no religious symbol on it. The design team was able to add a cross instead of the initial. The team member was extremely helpful. Turned out perfect!"
"I was so amazed at how quick the turn around time was. The quality, picture and information on the card was beautifully made."
"I ordered these for my daughter's Baptism. They did not disappoint, I've received many compliments on them. They look simple, classy and they are exactly what I envisioned."

Information Minister, Lewis Brown
Minister Brown Assures Justice Awaits Yekepa Vandals
By Prince S. Nagbe
YEKEPA, July 6 (LINA) - Information Minister Lewis Brown has assured the Management of ArcelorMittal mining company that government will spare no effort in bringing to justice those who vandalized the company's property and took hostage some of its senior staff.
Minister Brown said those involved as well as the masterminds of this unlawful act will be made to answer before a court of law, stressing that there will be no compromise.
He made the statement Saturday at a roundtable discussion with the Management of ArcelorMittal on the recent act of vandalism that took place at the company's mining plant in which major property of the company were severely damaged.
According to the Information Ministry boss, the government will ensure that not only will those who are responsible answer for the crimes they have committed, but that there will be no recurrence of such either at AccelorMittal or anywhere else in the country.
He noted that the act carried out is "a very serious threat" to those doing business in Liberia and that government will ensure that it breaks such threats by bringing the perpetrators to justice and putting into place additional security measures.
"It is the responsibility of the government to protect those who abide by the law and punish those who violate the law," Brown pointed out.
He said what transpired in Yekepa "is not just a Nimba County thing, rather, it is about the entire country" and as such, it will be treated as a national issue, adding "the government, including the Nimba County Legislative Caucus, are united about this, and we will succeed."
He assured the company that the government and people of Liberia cherish the relationship with the company and will ensure that the relationship is maintained, noting "the operation of ArcelorMittal has brought opportunities and life to Nimba in particular and Liberia in general, something we cannot compromise."
Two days ago, some residents of the company's concession area armed with single barrel riffles, stormed the Mining Plant, where they vandalized, burned and looted properties belonging to the company.
They also held hostage some senior members of the company for two days, but they were later released by officers of the Emergency Response Unit (ERU) of the Liberia National Police that intervened to restore order.
