Good day fellow readers!
Recently I have uploaded two different business cards to graphicriver and unfortunately both of them have been rejected. Now I am out of ideas of what I could change. Below are both of the business cards.http://0.s3.envato.com/files/46851944/Preview.jpg (soft rejected) http://i.imgur.com/Wuhf46l.jpg (completely rejected)
I highly appreciate your recommendation and feedback.
Hey bro,
Second one being a hard reject there is nothing that can be done about it.
for the first one being a minimalistic design is a tough nut to crack well i ll give it a shot for some scope of improvement.
First try and put the address in one line and center align it.
Second we can make the swirl under john doe a golden gradient or a color gradient. Do the same with the border rectangles. If you going with a color gradient try and use some bright shades and make the text a little darker cause once the colors come in it will take the focus off from the text.
That is what i would do if i were in your place.
Good Luck hope It gets approved.
The Business Card that was soft rejected seems to have a notable contrast in differences on the front and rear of the card. The front (name side) seems to be very simple and elegant; not a single angled line (not including the font or the card's right-angled edges). But the rear (information side) seems to lose the elegance of the front with the inclusion of the grey "border bars." The rear I feel may work best if somehow you managed to incorporate the flowing ribbon-like graphical elements into the design (and maybe even use it/them in ways to separate areas of information somehow). I would remove the bars because they are only seen on the rear; or, if you feel they should be kept, I would somehow work design elements of a similar feel into the front of the card for consistency.
For the completely rejected business card, I feel the large brown "stripe" going across the card's front (name/title side) may be getting in the way of the simplicity of the design. The only other elements I see similar to it in the card's entire design are the upper and lower "movie title bars?" on the front and rear. I think it may work better for you to try playing with just the circle and name on the front, while doing away with that large stripe.
If you feel the large stripe is a valuable design asset, then I would say see what happens when you align the circle with "John Doe" inside to the left edge of the card. Take the "Graphic Design" and position it to the right of the circle, vertically centered in the large stripe. Play with the tracking, italics and boldness of the two words (of both the name and profession title) to see what you may be able to come up with. By changing the alignment of design elements in this manner, you get something similar in feel to the alignment of the information icons you have on the rear of the card.
For the name and title on both the front and rear of the card I might also try playing with the tracking of the fonts; in a way that would make the first and last name look like their alignments are "justified" and enclosed in a rectangle or square text area. The same for the "Graphic Designer" title on the rear.
Keep us posted on your progress.
- Nun Kwon
- Is the design already present on the marketplace?
- Would I buy it for what its sold.
Good luck man!

Shot two banded birds this past weekend (1) Canada Goose and (1) GWT, the GWT is interesting because it was banded at Minto Lakes, Alaska. This my not be interesting to y'all, but this bird was banded 8/19/12 and shot 10/26/12 in New Mexico. UGS is asking for additional information on this bird calling it "unusual activity".
My question because this bird is easily the farthest north band I've ever gotten, is do they regularly band at that location/lake?

10 Ways to Look Great in a Bikini
Shop This Post
1. Cap Off Your Look
A straw hat keeps hair out of your eyes, sun off your face, and you looking chic in one fell swoop. "For texture, braid hair on the way to the beach and let it down once you arrive," says L.A. stylist Christine Symonds. "Fill a spray bottle with ocean water and spritz hair thoughout the day-the waves will look effortless."
2. Get a LiftProperly supported breasts sit higher, magically slimming the waist. Try suits with an underwire-or fake a lift with strategically placed medical tape (it's waterproof). Starting under the arm, tape inward, pulling tape taut to lift and build cleavage; repeat with three strips on each side, suggest image consultants Michelle Anderson and Christopher Willshire. A full-coverage bikini top will hide your handiwork. Note: This extreme trick works best for beach loungers, not long-distance swimmers.
3. Say Buh-Bye to Bloat
Scale back carbs and salty foods for two to three days before you slip into a bikini, says N.Y.C. nutritionist Cynthia Sass. Also, replace gas-producing vegetables like beans, onions and broccoli with cooked asparagus, spinach, celery and tomatoes, which are diuretics. Double your bloat-reducing efforts by taking supplements (such as Tummy Tuck Sticks by Rodial, $60/14; beauty.com) that include natural ingredients like seeds and green clay, which minimize gas.
4. Nix Nicks
To avoid any stinging when you hit the salt water, shave the day before. "Use a razor with a moisturizing strip and shaving cream to keep legs silky," says Cindy Barshop, owner of Completely Bare spas. If you must defuzz that morning, opt for a depilatory-no cuts, no bumps. Newer ones, like Sally Hansen Pure Scent-sation ($10; drugstore.com), smell fresh, not fetid.
Venus Embrace disposable razor ($14/3) and Satin Care shave gel ($4); drugstore.com.
5. Trim Down with a Tan
"A good fake tan is like a little black dress," says N.Y.C. tanning specialist Anna Stankiewicz. "It makes you look thinner." Exfoliate, then spray on a thin, even layer of self-tanner. Look for a can with a nozzle that works at any angle (like St. Tropez Self Tan bronzing spray, $35; sttropeztan.com) so you don't miss a spot.
6. Go Nuts for Coconut Oil
The pressed white meat of the fruit produces coconut oil, a unique saturated fat that actually increases calorie burning. "It's made of medium-chain tri glycerides [MCT] instead of long chains, making it easier to digest," explains Bruce Fife of the Coconut Research Center. "Studies show that after a meal containing MCT, metabolism increases 48 percent." The sweet-tasting oil is great for searing seafood or as a butter substitute in baking.
7. Position Yourself PerfectlySitting with your knees up is like getting virtual liposuction. "Not only does it lift the fat off your thighs, it also draws eyes to your upper body and knees, creating a slim line," says body-language expert Patti Wood. While you're at it, try our little secret: Dig a 1-inch ditch in the sand and plant your rear in it. Any spillover from saddlebags or thighs will be cleverly concealed.
8. Eat Meals the Size of Your Fist
"When the stomach is empty, it is about the size of your fist," says Sass. "If you put only a fistful of food in there at a time, the abdomen will look flat because it doesn't have to stretch to accommodate the food." The best nutritional bang for your bulk: dried fruits and nuts-a serving size of each is about the size of a golf ball.
9. Hoop to It
Hula hooping may sound silly, but it's a serious abdominal workout. "Hooping rivals running-it burns 600 calories an hour-but it's a lot more fun," says Gabriella Redding, CEO of Hoopnotica. "It engages your upper and lower abdominals and your obliques, perfect for getting into a bikini." Try it an hour a day, three times a week, for the best results.
10. Tighten Up Jiggles
The only place you want dimples is on your face. And while the latest anti-cellulite serums won't magically make your backside look like a swimsuit model's anytime soon, they do deliver a more concentrated dose of ingredients that can give skin a smoother appearance for a few hours, says N.Y.C. dermatologist Jeannette Graf. Try Nivea's Good-Bye Cellulite serum ($16; drugstore.com) and Borba's Firming Body Cleansing serum ($20; borba.com).

Michael Capuzzo is the author of two critically acclaimed New York Times bestsellers, The Murder Room and Close to Shore, and a six-time Pulitzer nominated journalist for The Philadelphia Inquirer. Close to Shore, a nonfiction historical thriller of the 1916 shark attack that inspired Jaws, was a People Magazine Top Ten Book of the Year and "belongs on the shelf with the adventure classics," according to The New Yorker, with "artistry reminiscent of Stephen Crane." The book was recently optioned by director David O. Russell (Silver Linings Playbook). The Murder Room, the true story of a forensic psychologist known as the "living Sherlock Holmes" and a private detective club in Philadelphia, was recently optioned by CBS Television Studios and the producers of CSI.
Both The Murder Room and Close to Shore were nominated for the Pulitzer Prize in general nonfiction and the National Book Award. Mike was also nominated four times for the Pulitzer Prize in journalism and has won more than 75 writing awards as a staff writer for The Philadelphia Inquirer and The Miami Herald, for stories in national magazines such as Esquire and Sports Illustrated, and for the magazine, Mountain Home, that he and his wife publish in upstate New York and Pennsylvania from their home of Wellsboro, Pennsylvania. He is a graduate of Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois and also has a Master in Fine Arts in nonfiction writing from Goucher College in Baltimore, Maryland. Mike has appeared on the Today Show, CBS News, O'Reilly Factor, NPR's Fresh Air, and Talk of the Nation.
The Walter R. Smith Visiting Scholar Series is in its ninth year of bringing notable speakers to Corning.

When you think of online immigration and passenger-list research, the first sites that come to mind are probably those for Ellis Island or its predecessor, Castle Garden, or a volunteer site like the Immigrant Ships Transcribers Guild. But you also should think of the subscription site Ancestry.com . In addition to its rich collections of censuses, vital records, newspapers and other resources, Ancestry.com has built up an impressive toolkit for solving the often-intractable problem of "crossing the pond."
Ancestry.com divides its Immigration and Travel collection into six categories of databases: Passenger Lists, Citizenship and Naturalization Records, Border Crossings and Passports, Crew Lists, Immigration and Emigration Books, and Ship Pictures and Descriptions. Some databases are indexes; many link to images of original records.
You can search all these databases at once, by category or one at a time. And because you can pop back and forth with other Ancestry.com records, you can easily cross-reference data about an ancestor: Find your ancestor's year of naturalization or how many years the 1900 census says he'd been in America, for example, and use that information to locate naturalization and passenger-list records. Best of all, you can use most of the collection free at libraries offering Ancestry Library Edition. See two examples of immigrant searches on Ancestry.com.

Bob Perry's calculation of FS=4 could result in the exact same specification as RichH's calculation of FS=6 if they are considering different ultimate stress criteria...?
"There is not really any "rule of thumb" because generally the loads are pretty easy to identify, and they all come from the righting moment of the boat. Typically what I and many designers do is assume that the wind loading on the sails is equal and opposite to the righting moment of the boat. This moment is assumed to come from a distributed load along the mast multiplied by the center of its area above the waterline or above the CLR, depending on how you like to design. "Skene's Elements of Yacht Design" by Francis Kinney (therefore what used to be standard practice by Sparkman and Stephens) assumed that this distributed load along the mast was uniform, i.e. a constant value up the mast. Other designers such as myself assume that the load is larger at the top of the mast, smaller at the bottom. In my case, the top half of the mast is uniformly loaded, and the bottom half of the mast has an increasing distribution from zero at deck level to the same value at mid-height as the upper half of the mast. To summarize, then, the lower half of the mast is a triangular load distribution, and the upper half is a uniform distribution. The total moment of these two distributions (center of its distribution for each area to the waterline) is equal and opposite to the righting moment of the boat.
I hope that's clear. This is a live load. Therefore, you need some factor of safety on top of that somewhere in the analysis, either an allowable stress under live load, or multiply your live load by some FoS and calculate back to the yield stress, ultimate stress, or buckling stress, whichever is appropriate. Typical factors of safety may be anywhere from 1.1 to 4.0. My personal belief is that if you have to use a FoS over 5.0, you don't know enough about the problem to engineer it properly. FoS over 5 and you are overbuilding.
So to answer your question, there is a fairly well defined procedure for identifying the loads, therefore we don't need to rely on a "rule of thumb"."
All the best,
Robert Gainer

While all the talk about a suitable boat is fine dont forget the luck factor in the equation.
Good luck bad boat bad skipper

I have known all of the permutations containing the bad luck factor to not make it some of the time. But I have also known some to survive the bad bad bad combination just because the amount of any one category bad was not sufficient to sink the trip. And bad luck with good boat and good skipper will usually survive because the right decisions with good equipment will save the day most of the time.
On the other hand I don't know of any trips that failed while containing the good luck factor even with both of the other components of the equation being bad. I think in the end good luck is more important then skill, experience and proper choice of boat.
But even if you can't control luck you can control the good boat part and good skipper part of the equation and then you have a better chance of succeeding instead of leaving everything to random chance and make no effort at selecting a boat and training yourself or doing any preparations at all. But it is unfortunate that we cant control luck.
Good luck and all the best,
Robert Gainer

Shearwater 45, anyone? Put a skeg hung rudder on it and it's near perfect.

That is what I see with a lot of modern, well respected, "open ocean" boats.
I haven't seen more than 40 knots or so, but now I've seen that speed in a narrow fin keeler and in a larger full keeler and the movement is considerably different. The full keeler's movement is definitely more ponderous, and considerably drier (although this could easily be a function of freeboard).
The fin keeler is far more responsive, but it is easier to get "whacked" by a wave mid-tack and it is sometimes hard to get back on course, whereas the full keeler just more or less plows onwards.
Basically, none of this is news to experienced sailors, but it confirms not only what I've read but what I think is going to be more "seakindly" in the long run for us: the full keeler. Yes, we will spend a few extra days on passage, but I can see actually sleeping in 12 foot waves on the new boat, whereas the old fin keeler, while fast, is far too "snappy" to consider sleeping in such oceanic conditions. I mean, I suppose I could, but only with a multi-person crew to "spot" me. The racer-cruiser simply demands a lot of active sailing that the full keeler doesn't.
Are you advocating a tender boat to reduce the ultimate stress in the rig? It would do that but isnt a tender boat more likely to be rolled over and that puts a greater strain on everything then just the wind load no matter what the wind speed is. Very few boats roll and come up with their rigs intact. So, I think preventing a rollover is high on the list of things to do when in extreme conditions, at least in my play book
If you look at the amount of area under the curve of righting moments for a given design you will see that it takes more energy to roll over a stiff boat then a tender one. I suspect that this means a stiff boat needs a larger, steeper wave to be rolled over compared to a tender one. But a boat with less draft is more likely to slide instead of trip in this situation so a stiff shoal draft boat would be more seaworthy then a deep draft narrow boat such as was popular during the CCA days. I think this is contrary to popular belief and people imagine the perfect offshore boat to be full keel deep draft heavy and narrow. I am beginning to think the perfect boat is wide, (not as wide as todays boats) stiff and has less draft then in the popular notion.
Now add to this the published report that a wide stiff boat will stay with the profile of the wave and keep her deck edge above water. A tender narrow boat will roll easily and put her deck under which drops the righting moment suddenly and I think a roll is now just a heartbeat away.
Is a stiff boat more uncomfortable? When you get into the type of weather where the boats survival is in question I wouldnt worry too much about comfort. Besides, in that type of wind speed the boat is held down by the wind so stability and comfort arent tied together. Comfort is now related to wave shape and size. If you have more then 80 knots of wind and seas larger then 60 feet any boat is going to be uncomfortable and the key question is now survivability. This is not to say that when bashing to windward in 30 knots comfort shouldnt be considered a factor. But now its longitudinal stiffness and not stability that determines comfort. Sailing on your ear isnt uncomfortable but pitching is. Now the best boat is exactly the opposite thing. A deep narrow boat pitches less then a wide flattish bottom boat does. I dont plan on spending much time going to weather so my Tartan 34C is the best compromise for what I do right now.
In the end its six of one and a half dozen of another. All combinations of beam, draft and displacement have been at the same time successful and unsuccessful. The two factors that have had the greatest influence on survivability, every time, time and time again have been luck and skill not boat shape or size.
All the best,
Robert Gainer
Sailormann, I'd assumed by his talking about "the stresses such a boat endures as well as her crew. Tender may produce the more sea-kindly motion alluded to earlier" he was talking about hull stresses in general.
Thanks for trying to clear things up for me..
There are a few different uses of the term "tender" amongst sailorfolk. As well as the usage you have employed, it can refer to a smaller boat for ferrying back and forth between a slip and a larger boat, or it can be used to refer to a boat that tends to heel easily. Conversely, a boat that has substantial initial stability is referred to as "stiff", as it takes more force to make it lean over.
I think that the second connotation of tender is what Sailaway meant in his post. The stresses that he goes on to mention, are the forces placed on the windward side of the hull by the shrouds holding the mast in position. His point is that because a boat experiences less pressure on its sails as it heels, the shrouds would be placing less stress on the hull in a tender boat than they would in a stiff one, where the sails remained closer to the vertical.
Hope that I am not making myself sound like a know-it-all, just trying to help you become a bit more fluent in the (ever-confusing) lingo.

I do not have a boat in this race, but am interested in Mr.Ganier's and other's thoughts on the matter.
One thing I never realised was that, unlike welded steel, rivetted hulls flex. After so many decades of welded patches for hull repairs she now has a really strange tender/stiff/tender jerkiness in any decent sort of sea.
Methinks tender is good - but unfortunately pretty rare these days because it's more expensive to build.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Review of 2013 ARBOR Coda
I was asked recently to provide a review for my new coda once i had the chance to ride it. Today I had the pleasure of doing so, and in no uncertain terms where the conditions ideal. Now please keep in mind I'm am no professional review guru, just a Joe Blow from van, bc, canada. However i have been riding the better part of my 23 years so I like to humbly think i have a faint idea at what I am getting at. Without further a due.
The Mountain:
conditions: groomers (hard and soft pack mix) with a touch of ice here and there.
the wind was blowin exceptionally high, I was forced to hike up the mountain they couldn't open the chairs due to warnings from envrio canada.
So despite 70km/h winds i decided to hell with it and started hoofin it.
The Board:
After the hour trek to the top of the lift I strapped in, exhausted and scared from what i saw in the conditions of the run I'd be taking down, rocks scattered, snow cats doing there thing, mountain employees on sleds scouring for people like me. Took a deep breath waited for a gap in the wind and my music to align shortly enough they do just that, i snap to my feet and point down hill to counter the calmer wind, with it at my back and holding my heel edge my speed climbs, snap to toe and thats when this new babe of mine just blew my mind she pulls over to the toe edge with barely a thought carves out the snow like I was cutting dough a perfect smooth line, i go back to heel and it feels like my toe edge all over smooth concise I'm performing surgery to the hill, those rocks I was worried about are now in the back of my mind as i charge up to a lager culvert pipe with no more than a snap of my legs my Coda pops into the air with ease and clear out an easy 10ft gap. I reached the bottom soon after but Coda never ceased to amaze me.
All in all, despite the conditions and my lack of time on the Coda with my experience over the years I can already tell as a big mountain rider i couldn't have made a better choice in my new stick. its got all the pop and more its smooth, flex but stable. The only thing I cant say for sure yet is how floaty this babe is, but with how impressed I was with this true rocker board i have no doubts she'll rock my world again in the pow.
Normally I would just give facts in a review but this Babe just had to much soul to bland her down to boring details you'll feel untamed and alive when you ride'er
thanks for reading, hope you find this useful.

Big changes to GED prompt rush to test now
No more pencil-and-paper - and only one test site
BEND, Ore. - The year-end deadline to take the GED as we know it, is right around the corner. Otherwise, those who need to take it have to wait until the 2014 version comes out in January -- and big changes are afoot that might make it more difficult.
This change is normal for the GED (General Educational Development degree), as it goes through series. Each series is usually changed or updated every 10 years.
This isn"t anything new for the test, but the test is new.
"So the pencil-and-paper testing will go away as of Dec. 31," Mickey Killingsworth a GED test administrator, said Wednesday.
Not only is the deadline to take the test coming up soon, but soon there will only be one place to take the test.
COCC's Redmond campus soon will be the sole test location because it is too expensive for others to switch to the computer-based system. It costs around $75,000.
Because of this, there will be a heftier test fee in 2014. Another difference is that instead of five test sections, there will only be four
"And they're going to combine some English segments. Some people are going to say it's going to be harder," Killingsworth said.
That has not been proven, though.We'll only find out if the test is harder once the new version rolls out.
One reason people are saying that it could be more difficult is because the No Child Left Behind Act has cracked down on what children need to know to get into college and be successful.
Those taking the GED need to prove competency in that subject matter.
One thing that's important to keep in mind is that because many of the testing sites are at community colleges, the Dec. 31 deadline might come sooner,.because the school might be on holiday. COCC breaks for the year in early December.

1. It's a little ironic that in the first year of a 15-team ACC, Carolina has home-and-home series against each of the other members of the Big Four. That hasn't happened since the 2009-10 season, and has happened only once in the previous six seasons.
2. The trip by the Tar Heels to Syracuse looks like one of many ACC headliners. Carolina has made only one other trip to the Carrier Dome to face the Orange, as they claimed an 87-64 victory on Dec. 10, 1983. Despite the lack of games against the actual home tenant, Carolina has been a frequent Carrier Dome visitor for NCAA Tournament play, and has an 8-1 all-time record in the building.
3. The Tar Heels will not travel to College Park, which means--barring something unusual--the 79-68 win at Maryland on March 6 is likely to be the last ACC game Carolina plays at the Comcast Center.
4. Keeping in mind that Carolina has already announced a nonconference game against Kentucky, plus a possible matchup with defending national champion Louisville in the Hall of Fame Tipoff Classic, next year's strength of schedule should be formidable. A road game at Syracuse will be a test, as will a home-and-home against Notre Dame and a road game at Virginia.
5. Notre Dame has only played at the Smith Center twice--a 73-61 UNC win in 1986, just after the building opened, and an 85-56 Tar Heel victory in 1993. Pittsburgh, meanwhile, has also been to the Smith Center twice, with the Tar Heels taking a 90-67 win in 1994 and an 82-61 victory in 1996.
6. There's been a lot of talk about the increased travel demands of a bigger conference, but Carolina will actually travel significantly fewer miles this coming season. The Tar Heels racked up 2,824 air miles for last season's league road games. This coming season, however--even with the road trip to Syracuse--they'll accumulate just 2,227 air miles.

From Detroit to Cambodia, dignity and empowerment are focus of Law Professor Peter Hammer's work
October 22, 2012
Justice and human rights are far more than words for Wayne State University Law Professor Peter Hammer. The words represent the concepts that motivate his life.
For most of the year, Hammer teaches law students in his role as educator and director of the Law School's Damon J. Keith Center for Civil Rights.
And just about every summer, he travels to Cambodia, where he is chairman of the nonprofit, non-governmental organization (NGO) Life and Hope Association (LHA) in Siem Reap. He's been doing grassroots work for justice and human rights in Cambodia since 1993. He also is a founding member and past president of Legal Aid of Cambodia, a nonprofit, NGO offering free legal services to Cambodia's poor.
"The approach and tactics you take are different, but a lot of what we do at the Keith Center has much in common with the work in Cambodia," Hammer said. "The mission in both places is to empower people and respect the dignity of each citizen."
LHA was established in 2005 by the Buddhist monks of Wat Damnak Temple as one project, Food for Education, and has since grown into six. Each program educates and cares for disadvantaged women and children in the southeast Asian nation that has captured Hammer's heart.
"Each program is interesting and special in its own way," Hammer said. "If you do development work as close to the grassroots as possible, you do good work. The organization is designed to focus on at-risk young women and vulnerable children and to provide them pathways to change their lives."
At Wayne Law, Hammer teaches courses on Community Development as well as Race, the Law and Social Change in Southeast Michigan, and health policy courses. He holds a Ph.D. in economics and a J.D. earned magna cum laude. He clerked for U.S. Court of Appeals Ninth Circuit Judge Alfred Goodwin and then worked as a litigation associate in the practice areas of antitrust and health care for a Los Angeles firm from 1993-95. During those years, he was awarded a Pro Bono Service Award by the International Human Rights Law Group for his work with the Cambodian Defender's Project.
He then started teaching at the University of Michigan Law School, his alma mater, and in 2003, came to Wayne Law, where he helped redesign the Law School's growing health law curriculum. And all the while, he was working and researching in Cambodia. In 2007, he was Visiting Professor at the Center for Khmer Studies, teaching in the Capacity Building in Cambodian Higher Education Program.
Hammer visited Cambodia this summer.
"I try to get back every year if I can to maintain ties," he said. "We have to make sure the organization remains strong. I travel to each one of the programs and spend a lot of time with coordinators and staff, evaluate how things are going and what needs to be done to ensure that the organization will continue to grow and develop. It's very important to have it run by the monks themselves and to help them assume leadership roles."
This year, the organization's executive director, Ven. Somnieng Hoeurn, deputy head monk at Wat Damnak Temple, is working on a master's degree in public policy and management at Harvard University. Ven. Somnienghas traveled a long road that began in a poor Cambodian family with an abusive stepfather. His mother sent him to live with another family to protect him, and hoped he would be able to gain an education.
But "he was not permitted to graduate from primary school because his family didn't have the money to bribe the teacher," Hammer said. "He went into the monkhood to continue his education — and now he's at Harvard!"
For Hammer, traveling in Cambodia can be joyful.
"You're dealing with good people, and it's a beautiful environment," he said. "The monks there are some of the smartest and funniest and most kind and gentle people I've had a chance to work with."
It also can be heartbreaking.
"It's not all fun and games," Hammer said. "One of the programs we run is a junior high school run in partnership with the Ministry of Education. It has a boarding school for many of the children of families that live far away. The first week I was there, five of the children gathered mushrooms in the forest. They were the wrong mushrooms, and we had a medical crisis. It was International Children's Day and we were going to have a big retreat and celebration. Instead of that, we had a funeral for one of the children that died as a result of the poisoning."
The junior high school offers lunch daily for students, and Life and Hope provides all accommodations and food for children who need it.
The organization's Food for Education program supplies rice and other food to 160 poor families in exchange for them sending their children to school. LHA also helps with medical care, health education, income-generating activities and home building.
LHA runs a sewing training center for young women, providing them with food, accommodations and training in life and business skills. Each woman is given a sewing machine, operated by foot pedal as electricity may not be available, so she can return to her village and make a living.
LHA also runs Children's Development Village for poor children, many of whom are orphans; Program Advancing Girls' Education, offering disadvantaged young girls, who face discrimination, room and board and other support; and the LHA Foreign Language School, which offers free English classes to poor children, which helps them find work in Cambodia's growing tourist industry.
Volunteers and donations are welcomed by Life and Hope. To learn more, visit www.www.lifeandhopeangkor.org.
Or talk to Hammer. He's got a lot to say and a lot to teach his students about how to make life better in Cambodia, in Detroit and in the rest of the world.
"You care about everybody," he said. "That's the answer."

The Radcliff man who died Wednesday night at an apartment standoffwas killed by a self-inflicted gunshot wound according to preliminary autopsy findings, police say.
Michael Strand, 47, died inside his apartment at 630 Seminole Drive. Radcliff police arrived on a burglary call at the eight-unit complex.
After police made contact with Strand, gunfire was exchanged between the victim and Officer Terry Moore, a 2½-year veteran of the Radcliff Police Department and a retired Kentucky state trooper.
Another Radcliff officer was struck in the ankle but the bullet did not penetrate his shoe, authorities reported Wednesday.
Kentucky State Police say the exact series of events are still under investigation from Wednesday night.
Additional details will appear in the print edition of Friday's The News-Enterprise.

Lee Dixon says the role of full back has evolved and believes that Arsenal duo Carl Jenkinson and Kieran Gibbs can learn from each other.
Jenkinson will become the first Arsenal right back to represent England in 13 years if he features in Wednesday's friendly against Sweden.
Arsenal legend Dixon won 22 caps for England between 1990 and 1999, and admits that defenders have to attack far more in the modern game.
"You have to be a bit more dynamic," he told Arsenal.com. "You've got a bit more license to go forward now. Teams tend to play with two holding midfielders so sometimes the full backs can attack together which is quite dangerous. Sometimes it works though.
"I think full back has become a lot more popular position. Players such as Ashley [Cole] have made that type of dynamic full back play something that kids want to do. You're all action. You're in the game constantly.
"That's why I liked playing there. It's nice to get a rest now and then. You used to get a rest on the halfway line but they don't seem to get much rest now.
"It's important that Gibbs and Jenkinson are both in the side together," Dixon added. "They can learn off each other. It's sometimes good to have a similar type of player who is around the same age in the team.
"Nigel [Winterburn] and me were similar. I always saw us as a pair. Even though you play on opposite sides of the pitch, you can play off each other. I learnt a lot from Nigel. He was a superb defender and his tackling was excellent. They can learn off each other, especially in training."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Note: Quint Kessenich spent the weekend in Florida as Notre Dame took on the U.S. Men's National Team in the second annual Champion Challenge. Quint checked in with a series of blogs throughout the trip, looking back at Notre Dame's 2010 season, providing updates from practice and even giving readers a look at some of the animals at the Animal Kingdom. Here, he wraps up with five things learned about the Fighting Irish.
1. Notre Dame needs to work on shooting. The Irish shot 0-19 in the first half. Shot selection was a key storyline for them in 2010. ND shot 27% in ten wins and 21% in seven losses last year. Not all shots are created equal. Too often the Irish found themselves slinging low angle alley shots at USA's Adam Fullerton. How many of their attempts were from the heart of the defense, in the middle of the field, where the goal is biggest? Notre Dame has to dodge to the middle of the field with more frequency. The Irish also must work on individual shooting technique. If you are just shooting within the confines of a two hour practice, you will never be any good. You wont get near enough reps. Becoming a world class shooter like Steven Brooks and Kevin Leveille takes hours and hours, and years and years of practice.
2. The Irish attack has improved, specifically Sean Rogers and Ryan Foley, but are the middies more dangerous this spring? With David Earl out Sunday resting an injury, the primary midfield dodger was Zach Brenneman. The fifth overall pick in the MLL draft got a rude welcoming to pro level goaltending. Brenneman shot 0-for-6, chipped in two assists and will benefit from the humbling afternoon. Who else can draw a slide, penetrate and capitalize from the up top? Max Pfeifer scored once. Sophomores Tyler Kimball, Pat Cotter and Stephen Murphy need to perk up if the Irish are going to play in Baltimore in 2011. The trio has the physical tools, they just need more reps, figuring out their strengths and weaknesses.
3. Give Team USA credit. Coach Kevin Cassese and assistant Brian Dougherty had the stars and stripes ready to rumble. The pro players were just that...professional. They were organized, unselfish, gritty, smart, and showcased their individual talents within the framework of team success while competing ferociously and having fun. A tip of the cap to the entire USA roster, well done gentleman! You made me proud. Special notice goes to goalie Adam Fullerton (12 saves and 0 goals against), Kevin Leveille for providing a free shooting clinic, Mike Kimmel, Doug Shanahan, Lee Zink, Stephen Peyser, Chazz Woodson, Steve Waldeck and Steven Brooks. I've been involved with the MLL since day one, and Sunday was a big day for league bragging rights. By approaching the game with the right mojo, Team USA guarantees that events like the Champion Challenge survive and thrive. Ironic that a 'makeshift' Team USA could do what last years teen idols couldn't.
4. Notre Dame's defense is as stingy as advertised. Throw out highlight reel goals by USA's Steven Brooks, Kevin Leveille and Doug Shanahan and Team USA was held in relative check. Opponents must dodge, handle the double, create ball reversal, and attack again. Notre Dame doesn't give up easy goals, they slide and recover like a fine tuned machine. Sophomore goalie John Kemp will be more than solid between the pipes this year. My only criticisms - Kevin Ridgway, Kevin Randall, Sam Barnes and Jake Brems must do a better job on ground balls deep in their zone (USA had too many second chance opportunities) and create odd man rushes from defensive stops. The Irish only cleared 84.7% in four NCAA tournament games in 2010, its an area that needs sharpening.
5. The jury is still deliberating the rules changes. The new NCAA 30 second clearing rule will have little impact on play this spring. But the revised face-off cadence (down, set, whistle) and rules adjustments regarding use of the elbows and pinning of the stick will hopefully clean up the face-off mess. I like the added emphasis towards high hits to the head and neck, I'm very much in favor of harsh penalties to headhunters. As the typical athlete gets bigger, faster and stronger we must be diligent to protect defenseless players. Widespread concussions and spinal injuries have no place in lacrosse.

When I started this project 5 years ago I only planned on building a Fett suit not to create a library of templates. While the template library has grown progress on my Fett hasnt and Im not sure that Ill ever get there, but I want to continue to improve and expand the Fett Template Library.
Let me start by saying that the templates were intended just to be a starting point. They do not represent the definitive Fett and without access to the LF archives they never will.
I have been reviewing the templates and want to revise them and improve them to make them more accurate (to a point) and more useful to those out there wanting to scratch build their own costumes. I am not looking to make them 100% screen accurate as that would drive me completely crazy (admittedly it would be a very short trip), the asymmetry and inconsistencies would be more than I could handle (its an engineer thing). I will leave that to each individual to decide how far they want to go. Remember these are a starting point.
So what I am looking for is feedback on what should be done to improve the templates.
General: Revise all templates to PDF files that can be printed full size on standard 8.5X11 and A4 paper. I now have access to Acrobat Pro that goes straight from the CAD drawing to PDF, much cleaner images and much smaller file sizes.
On the list of things to add & revise:
1. Add details and dent locations to Armor.
2. Revise the COD to make it 3D.
3. Revise the Dome shape of the helmet. Make it a little fatter from the front view.
4. Resize the rangefinder; current one is too big by about 7%.
5. Resize the helmet templates by about 103%, doesnt sound like much, but should result in a helmet closer to the actual size. Any accurate dimensions would be greatly appreciated.
6. Revise the Jet/Rocket Pack, minor tweaks and resized them to 16.75 wide, again to bring it closer to actual size.
7. Sling gun completely revised, current version is about 10% too small.
8. Super Trooper Blaster (White Fett) minor tweaks.
Templates and Patterns still in the works:
1. Jango Gauntlets
2. Arena Jet/Rocket pack
3. Jango helmet
4. Boba Jumpsuit
5. Jango Jumpsuit
6. Gloves
7. Boba Boots
The above are in no particular order and not a complete list. Also, I have no time frame in which to accomplish this task. As I see it, is like upgrading your suit, it is a never ending process.
So if you have some thoughts on what should be done please let me know. PM, E-Mails or post your ideas here.
Thank you,

What kind of upgrades are you hoping to find?
Given the issues you're having after disassembly etc. I think you should call Ruger.
They should be able to at least walk you through reassembly and you can ask them all about any upgrades.
Any modification would most likely be the result of a recall, IF there were a needed modification it would probably be listed here: Ruger Safety Announcments.
Edited to add: We still need to know WHICH Ruger P95 you have to give you more accurate info.

Mitch Goose
BUFFALO WILD WING STUDENT-ATHLETE OF THE WEEK – Mitch Goose, Men's Indoor Track & Field
Iona College men's indoor track and field graduate student Mitch Goose was named Buffalo Wild Wings Student-Athlete of the Week after a record breaking performance at the 2012 MAAC Indoor Track and Field Championships.
Goose highlighted the event, running the second fastest and second-ever sub-four minute mile in school history. He was named the meet's Most Outstanding Track Performer for his effort.
Goose ran a 3:59.26 mile, topping former Gael great Richard Kiplagat's MAAC Championship record 4:02.58 set in 2005. He was more than 12 seconds faster than teammate Daniel Lipus (4:11.67), the race runner up. Earning third place for Iona was junior Chris Stogsdill (4:12.23) who nipped Rider's Mike Soroko by one-hundredth of a second. Freshman Otis Ubriaco and junior Jimmy Tarsnane were seventh and ninth overall. While Goose erased Kiplagat's MAAC record, the former Iona standout still holds the school record with his 3:57.40 mile at the 2006 Gotham Cup at the Armory.

Hi guys,
we submitted our first theme on themeforest and received the famous rejection for "genericness". This issue is hard to solve..Here their feedback:
Overall, this is a very solid effort. I'm seeing a few issues that will need to be rectified but before that you need a bigger issue first — genericness.
Try to make your theme's design more unique and less simplistic. A unique design is a key factor for approval.
I know it's frustrating to be rejected citing uniqueness but recently, we've gotten a large number items with the same layout and presentation and we have to draw the line somewhere.
We reached a point of saturation already. At this point, we're only looking for unique variations of this kind of layout. [header, slider, teaser, footer]
I stronged important sentences.. I admit our structure is a bit viewed, but we pointed on cleaning. Probably we miss some important feature as responsive, gfonts and multiple styles, but I think our theme is salable and our framework is easy and handy to use.
Demo: http://demo.x-theme.com/moderncare/
I hope you can wrote good and constructive advices to improve this theme. We won't begin from 0..
No advices = Perfect Project ?
I do not think
Last night I dreamed of some possible improvements (reject is forcing my mind to work at night )
(I'm not sure about these improvements because some parts of layout would be boxed and some parts would be 100%.. Will be hard to mix without miss professionalism.. )
- to add a particular GFont for menu
- to add a particular GFont for headers tags and some title
- to add css3 animation for many rollovers (social icon could zoom in, the icons under slider could incline to right (45°), all could move to right, all shortcodes could be improved by css3 animation)
Please write us what you think about these improvements.
Seriously I think that your theme is one of the best ever seen! i dont undrestand what's the problem with it, I'm new around here but I have a good eye and I think that they need new design ideas but your work is awsome.
I think that you should make it responsive, using skeleton or bootstrap…, maybe this is the issue!
Good Luck

Not quite I can see a good few issues
- It's all really squashed together
- Spacing issues
- Your dropdown comes down too slow (petty one but it's annoying)
- Your footer looks off
- I really don't think the nav suits the theme
Don't get me wrong, it looks good, it just looks unfinished and rushed, work on spacing a lot more and typography in a few places and you'll be a lot closer to releasing it
Thanks all for feedback!
libertux I'm very happy for your positive comment! This give me more energy to improve theme and to try to be accepted in themeforest! If you like my work I think there is someone else who could buy this theme.
BenSheppard thank you for advices!
It's all really squashed togetherI think this type of layout need to be full of informations. I used 20px of space everywhere. Obviously our theme isn't based on this logic -> http://demo.gavick.com/wordpress/meetgavernwp/
Our next theme will be based on that logic (I like so much your theme!)
Spacing issuesProbably I understood where you see issue, but can you give me some example of space issue? So I can solve them!
Your dropdown comes down too slow (petty one but it's annoying)You are right. I can speedup! Obviously there is an option in our framework, so I only need to login in demo wp and set better values in menù options.
Your footer looks offThis comment needs explanation. Do you think the footer is too much dark? Probably I could add a bg pattern and make it more clear (not dark grey..)
I really don't think the nav suits the themeFor nav I think to add a GFont and arrange better logo, icons and search (as I wrote in my second post). Probably we need a better idea for submenus.
PS = Can anyone reply to my second post (my ideas for improvement)? Thanks!
I suggest for the footer, make the footer container with the background color (#313131) span 100%. I think the footer looks 'weird' because it's center, isolated… when you span that black background 100% it looks better and less condensed.
I would say this theme does have a lot of quality shown in the released themes on TF.
Other than that, remove the 10px left and right margin for your header navigation bar. I think that makes it appear too "boxed in".
I can tell you've put a lot of solid work into this theme. I'm pretty sure you're close to acceptance. Good luck!
Ops my error. I posted with other account.. I'm sorry. I ask moderator to delete my post from this discussion.
Hi Guys,
I finally redesigned theme on photoshop.. I attach here link to screen.
BEFORE [RE]DESIGN -> http://demo.x-theme.com/moderncare/
AFTER [RE]DESIGN -> http://www.x-theme.com/layout_home_redesigned.jpg
Ps = obviously I have in my mind many css3 transitions but I can show you only at the end (when I modify html an css on demo site)
Thanks all for feedbacks!
Any feedback?
Not a bad start.
Give everything a little more room to breath, just a little more padding around sections throughout, i.e: Header, call-to sections under slider, footer items etc…
Work on contrast,darken up the text slightly, especially in the nav, hard to read text in a navigation is bad.

He and his wife sure have a nice spread. Not sure how far off the beaten path they are, as they seem to have plenty of electricity. Place was lit up like the 4th of July during the snowstorm on the premier episode. Could be a generator, but it just didn't seem like it. Looked more like the grid to me.

Courts are government institutions that administer justice in criminal and civil matters. They're mediated by one or more judges, magistrates or justices who have been appointed or elected.
Courts rely on an adversarial system of justice, which is intended to resolve disputes with fair and impartial outcomes. Their primary purpose is to decide questions of law and determine facts. Attorneys for each side present arguments and introduce evidence to support their arguments.
In some court cases, the final judgment is handed down by a jury of citizens chosen through a selection process. In other cases, a judge makes the final ruling. Cases may be heard in criminal court, civil court, or appellate court.

i hear alot of complaints on this gun but ive put 300 rounds through it with no prblems at all
by the way theres about 800 round through it now with no problems except for the magazine issue
What kind of complaints have you heard? I'm looking at a 24/7 OSS but would like to know if these are having problems, or what?
So, after doing quite a bit of research the only problem I've heard about was concerning one owner's magazine release button...and this was on a S&W M&P - not the 24/7. So, my question to all of the Taurus owners is this; have you had ANY type of issues?
if you research taurus there are plenty of people that rag on them in general. i have had one problem with mine and its that my 10 rd magazine won't feed the bullet into the chamber unless i slap the bottom of the mag up. im planning on sending it back to taurus when i get a chance though. but other than that im happy with this gun and im considering getting a full sized oss as well...but the m&p is made by smith and wesson not taurus
so i just called taurus and told them about the problem with my 10 rd magazine and they told me send it to them and they would ship a new one out to me. now i've heard some stories of them taking FOREVER to get your stuff back to you so we'll see how this goes. it doesn't really matter if it takes a while to get the mag back because i still have my 12 round mag and am planning on getting another 12 rounder
i rearranged my photobucket so it took a lot of my pictures off so here's my taurus now. i got this idea for better grip from hickock45 on youtube. i went to my local skateboard shop and bought a foot of griptape then cut it out to fit my gun and i love the feeling of it.
I own a 24/7 pro and have shot over 1000 rounds through it with no issues at all. My next gun I am looking at is the 24/7 G2 3.5.
i have the gun in 45 acp, and like it. Its a great personal defense gun. I only have about 200 rounds through it but not one problem so far. By no means is this gun a range gun though.
I have a 24/7 Pro C DS and love it. I also have a PT-745. I carry the 745 at work and the 24/7 all of the other time. Sometimes carry both. LOL. I have not had any problems with either gun and would recommend them to anyone at anytime. I looked at a gen 2 of this gun yesterday and DARN-IT I now have to buy another gun. Great looker.

Im thinking of building a fal. i found a nice cetme Hk 91 G3 parts kit. are these the same as a fal. do they use the same reciever. im new to fals and know very little about them.
Printable View
Im thinking of building a fal. i found a nice cetme Hk 91 G3 parts kit. are these the same as a fal. do they use the same reciever. im new to fals and know very little about them.
Totally different animals. The FAL is a gas operated rifle based on a machined solid steel receiver. The CETME/G3 rifles are based on a sheetmetal stamping receiver and are roller delayed blowback operated. Nothing interchanges except the ammunition!
The CETME (original Spanish rifle) and the G3 (later "product improved" German made and licensed) are two versions of the same basic design, but major parts are different between them. They both can be built on the same receiver shell, the only difference between the current receivers are the welded on rear sight bases. The trunnions are different as well, so if building a CETME make sure the receiver comes without a trunnion.
The FAL was probably the most popular .308 rifle ever produced, adopted by many many countries in one form or another. Right now about the only kits commonly available from vendors are the Imbel made ones. The other variants are available on the various boards' for sale ads as well as Gunbroker, but you are talking a lot more $$$ on those. There is currently a receiver shortage on these, only DSA seems to have much in stock and thery are the most expensive out there.
The Fal Is probably easier to build with a 100% receiver, just screw the barrel in, headspace and put your compliance parts in. The CETME/G3 involves welding, bolt gap spacing, modifing the trigger pack, as well as compliance parts. Neither is impossible to complete. The FAL is a nice rifle with mild recoil for a 308 when you properly adjust the gas system. I sold my last Fal and I'm already thing of buying a kit and building another when the receivers drop in price. The last shotgun news had an article on making a FAL.
Ive subscibe to SN news. ive been meaning to 4ever just kept putting it off. i think im gonna go with a Fal thanks guys for your advice.
I would pick up gunplumber's (on FAL files) DVD.
I knew nothing about FALs when I started my first build. Using His DVD, I had no problems, it walks you through the entire build, including demilling the parts kit.
You will need to beg, borrow or steal a barrel vise, receiver wrench and a set of pin gauges (to measure the headspace)
ShotGun News is doing an article on building a FN/FAL. Looks like it is going to be several segments coverd in future issues so they are going to go into some detail on how to do the build. Part 1 just covers selecting a kit and installing a barrel so they still have a ways to go.
I don't know how complete that article is going to be. They mentioned it was just going to be an overview, not a complete tutorial.
if the artical is by the same guy that did the sten then it will be a over view not saying it will be bad or not a good how to just a over view. get the gunplumber book. muttman
BAH! This is the only site you need for da FAL: www.falfiles.com
No need for the plumbers book IMO. Just search the Fal Files build it yourself section. Everything you ned to know is there. Barreling, timing, headspacing, it's all pretty easy if you have the correct tools.

Former Canisius pitcher John Axford and the St. Louis Cardinals have advanced to the World Series after defeating the Los Angeles Dodgers in six games in the National League Championship Series. The Cardinals will face the Boston Red Sox in the World Series, which starts at Fenway Park on Wednesday.
In his fourth full year in the majors, Axford was traded from the Milwaukee Brewers to the St. Louis Cardinals on Aug. 30. Axford appeared in two games for the Cardinals in the NLCS, allowing one run and striking out four in two innings. He also made two appearances in the National League Division Series, throwing 1.1 scoreless innings. In 2013, Axford made 75 appearances and posted 65 strikeouts with a 7-7 record and 4.02 earned run average.
Axford becomes the first Golden Griffin to ever play in the World Series. He is attempting to become the first former Canisius athlete to win a world championship in one of the four major sports leagues since Mike Smrek won titles with the Los Angeles Lakers in 1987 and 1988.
Axford spent the 2006 season with the Golden Griffins after starting his baseball career at the University of Notre Dame. With Canisius, Axford was 3-8 with a 5.08 ERA and 75 strikeouts in 70 innings pitched.
