Oh lemme rephrase brother....u didnt catch my sarcasm. Im multi tasking, work and TDHing at the same time...
What happened to the Asok Jango lid you to busy painting that helmet to pull it off the shelf for pics (notice the wink for just kidding, as Ive had one its a wee little thing)
And Ill try and give him a nudge for you later when I get a chance to get on my Iphone. I dont wear panties, at least not durring the week, I mean ummmm....NM. Haha....keep up the good work Sir
Since SWTOR is patching at my PRIME play time Ill hit the gym and then hit up Chris see if he saw ur PM and stuff...he has been on here alot more lately so maybe its just a matter of getting to it.
Had a split second to lay the silver on the dome this evening. If all goes well I will situate the stensils in the next few days. Heres a little snap shot to pass the time. Thanks guys.
Loving ur thread Dynamic1!! cant wait to see it finished! my bobamaker helmet should be in my hands next month and i will definitely be referring to this and Jayvee's and others to help me along!! keep up the great work!
i have a beginners question for you, how did you transfer the stencils onto the helmet accurately?
as far as your paint job goes, it looks incredible.
Easy Graphite Transfer Paper 18" x36" Roll : paper : scrapbooking : Shop | Joann.com. After prepping your helmet and sizing rafalfetts or rich d's (sorry if I have forgotten anyone) stencils you simply place the carbon paper between your lid and the stencil, trace w/ a sharp pencil and the image will then transfer to the helmet. There are many great turorials around here as well buddy. Hope this helps.
Coming along SUPERBLY!!!
Looking nice, this may end up one of the nicest DP casts ever,
Hey guys- Need some help w/ this sizing. Does this look acurate? Its REALLY close as I look at it but wanted some outside thoughts as the scratch is a definate center piece
looks spot on to me
See told you dude that sizing looks perfect. You have done a great job with this lid. Just imagine what you will do once you get a GMH or FP Premium. Hell maybe I will have you finish up mine!!
take a pic from front on with you holding it in the same spot,, but yeah looks right from this side,
(Cheers mate, )
Honestly till i read the question i didnt notice your fingers and thought it was painted on there.
Awesome! Thanks guys..gonna try and complete the dome this week.
Looking great brother! The cat scratch looks pretty spot on in that pic, but just to make sure, try taping your rangefinder ear on for reference, and check the reference pics to check the height of the scratch in relation to the top of the ear. If I remember correctly, I think the scratch is a touch higher than the ear. All looking very sweet my good man!
Was able to lay some silver damage the last couple evenings..almost there guys

|Northwest Students, Faculty & Staff
|U.S. and Foreign Libraries
Purpose of Interlibrary Loan
Library materials not owned by Owens Library or not available in the MOBIUS catalog may be borrowed from other libraries through the Interlibrary Loan (ILL) Service. Loan procedures are regulated by the National Interlibrary Loan Code, by the regulations of the lending library, and by the copyright law of the United States (Title 17, US Code) which governs the procedures for producing photocopies or reproductions of copyrighted materials.
Limitations on Borrowing
ILL is not intended for extensive borrowing by individuals. Research topics should be selected according to the resources on hand and those resources should be exhausted before making an ILL request. If large numbers of items needed for a project are located at another library, arrangements should be made to use them at that library.
Items Not Often Available Through ILL
Who May Borrow
Northwest Missouri State University employees and their spouses, faculty emeriti, and currently enrolled graduate and undergraduate students are eligible to use ILL.
Loan Period
The lending library sets the loan period and any restrictions on the use of the materials. Requests for renewals must be submitted to the ILL Office at least two days prior to the due date.
Costs for Using ILL
Borrowers may use cash or personal checks made out to Northwest Missouri State University to pay for Interlibrary Loan charges if applicable.
For Books:
At the time of the request the borrower must indicate their expense limit. We will notify the lending library of your limit. Materials which exceed your limit will not be ordered.
For Periodicals:
Costs for ordering articles from specialized libraries or international journals, which exceeds $15.00, will be passed on to the borrower. If the charges exceed the expense limit, the borrower will be notified and given the option of changing their limit. A borrower cannot cancel a photocopy request once it has been ordered from another library. Items with these charges will not be released to the borrower until all charges have been paid.
Length of Time It Takes to Receive Materials
The length of time between the request and the delivery of materials depends on the location of the lending library and the method of delivery utilized by the lending library. Each ILL request will be processed as quickly as possible. Allow at least two weeks for delivery. Borrowers must note a last usable date on the online request form. ASAP is not acceptable. If the requested material is not received by this date, it will automatically be canceled. Borrowers are responsible for charges on all materials exceeding $15.00 received/delivered before the requested last usable date.
How to Make Requests for ILL
Borrowers should first check Northwest Missouri State University's library catalog and follow the instructions to Locating Periodicals in Owens Library to be certain that Owens Library does not own the needed materials. Materials owned by Owens Library will NOT be processed through ILL. All Requests must be submitted through online request form at the library's home page. All request must include full bibliographic information. Abbreviations are not acceptable. Check at the Library Services Desk to get assistance in locating needed information. The responsibility for providing a complete and correct citation, however, rests with the borrower. Requests cannot be accepted over the phone or through the mail. Periodical articles will be scanned and sent to the borrowers University e-mail address when materials are received. Book materials must be picked up at the Library Services Desk in Owens Library promptly after e-mail notification. They should be returned to the Library Services Desk on or before the due date.
How ILL Requests are Processed
Requests are processed using the OCLC/First Search Interlibrary Loan Subsystem. The ILL staff will determine the most appropriate library from which to borrow and the most expeditious manner in which to make the request.
Owens Library is aware of the value of ILL service. Such interlibrary cooperation is increasingly important as book and periodical prices increase and as universities tailor their holdings to their course offerings. We are committed to offering the most expedient and least expensive service possible. All postage, insurance, and OCLC/First Search charges are paid by the library as a service to the university community.

Health Information
Angina (Holistic)Skip to the navigation
About This Condition
Understand the warning signs
Seek immediate medical attention if you develop symptoms of new or worsening chest pain
Add L-carnitine to your daily routine
Take 1 gram of this nutritional supplement two or three times a day to improve heart function and ease symptoms of angina
Mix in some magnesium
Take 200 to 300 mg of this mineral supplement twice a day to reduce the risk of exercise-induced chest pain
About This Condition
Angina, or angina pectoris, is chest pain due either to reduced blood flow to the heart or to certain other abnormalities of heart function.
Hardening (atherosclerosis) of the coronary arteries that feed the heart is usually the underlying problem. Spasms of the coronary arteries may also cause angina.
There are three main types of angina. The first is called stable angina. This type of chest pain comes on during exercise and is both common and predictable. Stable angina is most often associated with atherosclerosis. A second type, called variant angina, can occur at rest or during exercise. This type is primarily due to sudden coronary artery spasm, though atherosclerosis may also be a component. The third, most severe type is called unstable angina. This angina occurs with no predictability and can quickly lead to a heart attack . Anyone with significant, new chest pain or a worsening of previously mild angina must seek medical care immediately.
It is important for treatment and prevention of angina (and for overall health) to learn more about atherosclerosis
Common symptoms of angina include a squeezing pressure, heaviness, ache, or burning pain (like indigestion) in the chest that occur for 5 to 30 minutes at a time. These sensations are usually felt behind the breastbone but may also be felt in the jaw, neck, arms, back, or upper abdomen. Some people may also have difficulty in breathing or may become pale and sweaty. Symptoms of angina usually appear during physical exertion, after heavy meals, and with heightened emotional states, such as anger, frustration, shock, and excitement.
Healthy Lifestyle Tips
Cigarette smoking causes damage to the coronary arteries and, in this way, can contribute to angina. It is critical for anyone with angina who smokes to stop smoking. Smoking has also been shown to reduce the effectiveness of treatments for angina.1 Secondhand smoke should be avoided as well.2
Increasing physical exercise has been clearly demonstrated to reduce symptoms of angina, as well as to relieve its underlying causes. One study found that intense exercise for ten minutes daily was as effective as beta-blocker drugs in a group of patients with angina.3 Anyone with angina or any other heart condition, as well as anyone over the age of 40, should consult a doctor before beginning an exercise program.
Holistic Options
People suffering from angina may find acupuncture to reduce symptoms, the need for medication, and even the need for invasive surgery. While some studies of acupuncture treatment for angina found no benefit,4 others have demonstrated positive results. An uncontrolled trial of 49 angina patients found that acupuncture resulted in 58% less nitroglycerin use and a 38% decrease in the number of angina attacks.5 In another study, 69 patients suffering with severe angina were treated with a combination of acupuncture, shiatsu (acupressure), and lifestyle changes. The results were compared to patients with severe angina treated with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). The incidence of heart attack and death was 21% among those treated with CABG and 7% among those treated with the combined therapy including acupuncture. In addition, 61% of those treated with the combination therapy, because of their improved health, postponed any further invasive treatment.6 In a single-blind study of 26 patients, a reduction in angina attack rate and nitroglycerin use, as well as an improvement in exercise performance, occurred in the treatment group compared to a sham (fake) acupuncture group.7 Findings from a controlled trial comparing acupuncture treatment (three treatments per week for four weeks) to placebo tablets support these results, demonstrating a reduction in the number of angina attacks, improved exercise performance, and corresponding improvements in ECG readings.8
Transcendental meditation (20 minutes twice daily of silently chanting a mantra with eyes closed) was found in a small controlled trial to reduce angina-like chest pain and to normalize electrocardiograms (ECGs) in patients with cardiac syndrome X, a form of angina in people with otherwise normal coronary arteries.9 While these patients did not have angina in the classic sense, their chest pain was thought to result from anxiety, which may reduce blood flow to the heart, and their ECGs resembled those of classic angina patients. It is not yet known whether transcendental meditation would have the same effect on patients with angina pectoris.
Evidence from preliminary10 , 11 , 12 and controlled13 studies suggests that there may be a relationship between the presence of heart disease and changes to the muscles and joints of the spine that are detectable by practitioners of spinal manipulation . In a double-blind study, patients with proven coronary disease were more likely to have specific changes in their spine detectable by palpating or "feeling" their backs than were subjects who were healthy.14 Controlled studies have demonstrated that manipulation of the joints in the middle of the neck can increase heart rate, respiratory rate, and blood pressure,15 , 16 but manipulation of the lower neck does not appear to have the same effect.17 Despite these intriguing findings, there is no research investigating whether manipulation reduces angina symptoms or otherwise benefits the heart and cardiovascular system.
Eating Right
The right diet is the key to managing many diseases and to improving general quality of life. For this condition, scientific research has found benefit in the following healthy eating tips.
|Skip the coffee
Drinking five or more cups of coffee per day has been shown to increase angina risk.
Coffee should probably be avoided. Drinking five or more cups of coffee per day has been shown to increase the risk of angina, although effects of different forms of coffee on angina are unclear.18
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by some in the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.
3 Stars Reliable and relatively consistent scientific data showing a substantial health benefit.
2 Stars Contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary studies suggesting a health benefit or minimal health benefit.
1 Star For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.
3 Stars
Coenzyme Q10
150 mg daily
CoQ10 contributes to the heart's energy-making mechanisms. Angina patients given CoQ10 have experienced greater ability to exercise without chest pain.
Coenzyme Q10 contributes to the energy-making mechanisms of the heart. Angina patients given 150 mg of coenzyme Q10 each day have experienced greater ability to exercise without experiencing chest pain.19 This has been confirmed in independent investigations.20
3 Stars
1 gram two or three times per day
Supplementing with L-carnitine may improve heart function and ease angina symptoms.
L-carnitine is an amino acid needed to transport fats into the mitochondria (the place in the cell where fats are turned into energy). Adequate energy production is essential for normal heart function. Several studies using 1 gram of L-carnitine two to three times per day showed an improvement in heart function and a reduction in symptoms of angina.21 , 22 , 23 Coenzyme Q10 also contributes to the energy-making mechanisms of the heart. Angina patients given 150 mg of coenzyme Q10 each day have experienced greater ability to exercise without experiencing chest pain.24 This has been confirmed in independent investigations.25
2 Stars
2 to 3 grams three times per day
In one study, taking arginine improved the ability of angina sufferers to exercise. Detailed studies have proven that arginine works by stimulating blood vessel dilation.
Nitroglycerin and similar drugs cause dilation of arteries by interacting with nitric oxide, a potent stimulus for dilation. Nitric oxide is made from arginine , a common amino acid. Blood cells in people with angina are known to make insufficient nitric oxide,26 which may in part be due to abnormalities of arginine metabolism. Taking 2 grams of arginine three times per day for as little as three days has improved the ability of angina sufferers to exercise.27 Seven of ten people with severe angina improved dramatically after taking 9 grams of arginine per day for three months in an uncontrolled study.28 Detailed studies have investigated the mechanism of arginine and have proven it operates by stimulating blood vessel dilation.29
2 Stars
Fish Oil
Consult a doctor
Fish oil has been shown to reduce chest pain and the need for nitroglycerin. Taking vitamin E with fish oil may protect the oil from undergoing potentially damaging oxidation in the body.
Fish oil , which contains the fatty acids known as EPA and DHA , has been studied in the treatment of angina. In some studies, enough fish oil to provide a total of about 3 grams of EPA and 2 grams of DHA has reduced chest pain as well as the need for nitroglycerin;30 other investigators could not confirm these findings.31 People who take fish oil may also need to take vitamin E to protect the oil from undergoing potentially damaging oxidation in the body.32 It is not known how much vitamin E is needed to prevent such oxidation; the amount required would presumably depend on the amount of fish oil used. In one study, 300 IU of vitamin E per day prevented oxidation damage in individuals taking 6 grams of fish oil per day.33
2 Stars
60 mg of an herbal extract containing 18.75% oligomeric procyanidins taken three times per day
Parts of the hawthorn tree contain flavonoids that may protect blood vessels from damage. Taking hawthorn extract improved heart function and exercise tolerance in angina patients in one trial.
The fruit, leaves, and flowers of the hawthorn tree contain flavonoids , including oligomeric procyanidins, which may protect blood vessels from damage. A 60 mg hawthorn extract containing 18.75% oligomeric procyanidins taken three times per day improved heart function and exercise tolerance in angina patients in a small clinical trial.34
2 Stars
365 mg twice per day
Taking magnesium may reduce the risk of exercise-induced chest pain.
Magnesium deficiency may be a contributing factor for spasms that occur in coronary arteries, particularly in variant angina.35 , 36 While studies have used injected magnesium to stop such attacks effectively,37 , 38 it is unclear whether oral magnesium would be effective in preventing or treating blood vessel spasms. One double-blind study of patients with exercise-induced angina, however, showed that oral magnesium supplementation (365 mg twice a day) for 6 months significantly reduced the incidence of exercise-induced chest pain, compared with a placebo.39
2 Stars
N-Acetyl Cysteine
600 mg three times daily (under medical supervision if taking nitroglycerin)
Under a doctor's supervision, supplementing with NAC may improve the effects of nitroglycerin.
NAC (N-acetyl cysteine) may improve the effects of nitroglycerin in people with angina.40 People with unstable angina who took 600 mg of NAC three times daily in combination with a nitroglycerin transdermal (skin) patch for four months had significantly lower rates of subsequent heart attacks than did people who used either therapy alone or placebo.41

In one study, men with severe coronary heart disease who took ribose were able to exercise significantly longer than those taking placebo before experiencing chest pain and before abnormalities appeared on their electrocardiogram (ECG).
In a controlled study, men with severe coronary heart disease were given an exercise test, after which they took either 15 grams of ribose or a placebo four times daily for three days. Compared with the initial test, men taking ribose were able to exercise significantly longer before experiencing chest pain and before abnormalities appeared on their electrocardiogram (ECG), but only the ECG changes were significantly improved compared with those in the placebo group.42 Sports supplement manufacturers recommend 1 to 10 grams per day of ribose, while heart disease patients and people with rare enzyme deficiencies have been given up to 60 grams per day.

Vitamin E
50 IU daily
Low levels of antioxidant vitamins in the blood, particularly vitamin E, are associated with greater rates of angina. In one study supplementing with small amounts of vitamin E had a minor benefit in people with angina.
Low levels of antioxidant vitamins in the blood, particularly vitamin E , are associated with greater rates of angina.43 This is true even when smoking and other risk factors for angina are taken into account. Early short-term studies using 300 IU (International Units) per day of vitamin E could not find a beneficial action on angina.44 A later study supplementing small amounts of vitamin E (50 IU per day) for longer periods of time showed a minor benefit in people suffering angina.45 Those affected by variant angina have been found to have the greatest deficiency of vitamin E compared with other angina patients.46

Bromelain prevents excessive stickiness of blood platelets, which is believed to be one of the triggering factors for angina. Supplementing with it may help.
Bromelain has been reported in a preliminary study to relieve angina. In that study, 600 people with cancer were receiving bromelain (400 to 1,000 mg per day). Fourteen of those individuals had been suffering from angina. In all 14 cases, the angina disappeared within 4 to 90 days after starting bromelain.47 However, as there was no control group in the study, the possibility of a placebo effect cannot be ruled out. Bromelain is known to prevent excessive stickiness of blood platelets,48 which is believed to be one of the triggering factors for angina.

Khella is an African plant that contains spasm-relieving compounds, including khellin. Purified khellin was shown to be helpful in relieving angina in preliminary studies.
Khella is an African plant that contains spasm-relieving compounds, including khellin. Purified khellin was shown to be helpful in relieving angina in preliminary studies in the 1940s and 1950s.49 , 50 It is unknown whether the whole herb would have the same effects. Due to the potential side effects of khella, people with angina should consult with a physician knowledgeable in botanical medicine before taking it.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
The problem with the apartment is, the only 2-1s are on the second and third floors. Titan gets taken out when I get home from work usually around 5.
We train, potty, and play around 30-45 mins of fetch depending on how long I get the dog park area in the complex for before someone walks in. He gets this once I get home and once later on in the evening after another short training session.
Then Jasmine gets her potty and goes for her walk as she isn't near as much energy as Titan.
Titan never stops. He doesn't run out of energy. Also it makes it tricky with his megaE because he has to eat 3x a day so I have to squeeze a meal in the afternoon but make sure he is calm before feeding.
We tried having someone come in and feed/ play with him but no one can handle him.
It's also hard when I am on call. I can't go out for long walks because I have to be ready to hop in the car and get to work quickly at any given time. I can be on call 2-5 days a week/weekends.
I'm not sure why this just started. We aren't doing anything different. I've Never seen/talked to this person before.
I guess we just are going to seperate them when home and no toys in the house.
|What kind of floors do you have? If they are wood floors, maybe put down a thicker large area rug to buffer the noise?
|you could also exercise your dogs more, drain that gsd energy.
|There's something to be said for a good landlord/property manager too. My property manager always told me that it is my home and I have a right to do what I want in my home within legal hours. She said that if people don't like animals they shouldn't live in a pet friendly complex and that the same goes for kids. She always told me that it was unreasonable for anyone to expect me to keep the dog completely still 24-7. She also refused to accept heathen behavior and would send out letters and then fines to residents who banged on walls because that could result in property damage.
|I've been there done that with an 11 pound dog. Thank goodness I moved before Gunther grew. I would love to help but believe me when I tell you that what worked for me goes against every decent human being law there is. The two things that crossed the line for us was she NEVER did it when my husband was home (chicken) and she once had the audacity to bang at 4 in the afternoon when our grandchild was over. Some apartment complexes will let you switch to a vacant downstairs apartment with no new charges. I would suggest doing that if you don't want to be mean back.
I see. I probably wouldn't.
First of all, I don't want anyone hating my dog lol))) second, I do understand that some people don't care for any kind of noise.
We have someone at our building blasting music every day. He does it during the day, so not illegal. I don't bang but I do curse him out in my head lol. I don't want anyone cursing me out in their head.
So me personally, I wouldn't play inside the house and I don't. We go out every day, rain or snow, for at least an hour but usually two or three and all the playing is done outside
If I had two dogs I wouldn't separate them, i'd put away all toys and if they played with each other then i'd stop it.
But that's me, I'm probably too considerate)))))

Ugh OK much different! At this point you have already apparently pissed them off!
Two me two solutions come to mind, First there is this:
Never done it never had the need.
Or the place command and E collar stuff:
I saw it used with a Bull Dog and yes it worked! But personally I know Bully Breeds and to me that Bull Dog while very well behaved just was not what I expect to see from a Bully! So there is that.
So maybe the sit on Dog thing is the middle ground??
Personally I would not live anywhere but on a 1st floor apt with big dogs. I've lived on top and bottom so I get the frustration. It's not fair to have to so severely limit your dog's activity, however, it's also incredibly irritating to live below someone with multiple large animals. Even my 5lb cat sounds like a horse when she gets the zoomies upstairs.

Well this just started last night.
We have lived here for a year in this apartment. I'm not sure when the current down stairs neighbors moved in but I know they've been here at least 3-4 months.
Sometimes Titan and jasmine like to play. Before it gets too rowdy I normally break it up and most of the time they are separated for an hour or two so they leave each other alone.
Also Titan likes to bring us toys such as a ball or a tug. We don't really have a place to go to do this so I do it in the house.
Never longer than 10 minutes. And we don't do this past 8 pm.
For the last 2 nights whenever they start in, the down stairs neighbor has been banging on the ceiling. At first we thought someone was hammering something on the wall and I told my fiancé they only do it when the dogs trot, run or wrestle.
The dogs started in again today and they banged on the ceiling again so I know its because of the dogs.
However, she hasn't came to our door and the dogs always have done this.
I can't exactly take Titan to a field everytime he wants to play.
Our complex allows dogs on the second and third floors.
There is nothing in my lease that says my dogs can't rough house.
The only way I could possibly put a stop to this and please the downstairs neighbors is to keep them separated at all times and to not let Titan have toys in the house because he will play with himself.
I really don't want a confrontation and is rather not go down there and confront her.
They don't bark unless someone comes in or knocks. Titan will whine heavily if being fed or being taken out in the morning or when my fiancé gets home.
He's a 9 month old pup and extremely vocal when he gets excited.
His mother is the same way. Not sure how to correct plus we are trying to build drive for schutzhund
I only have one dog and I'm very conscious about making noise. Unfortunately, my dog is very noisy. Just him laying down is a huge loud event. He drops to the floor like a sack of bricks.
When I first got him and he did that I got scared, I thought he was sick. I had only cats before this and they're very silent and very gracious. This guy - lol not.
So yeah, when he plops I get stressed, when he carries the ball in his mouth and drops it a few times I take it away, basically, anything he does, if it makes noise I stop it after a few times.
Why do you ask? You have neighbors making noise or you're worrying about you making noise for neighbors?

CARY, N.C. - The North Carolina men's tennis has had an excellent first two days at the 2012 Intercollegiate Tennis Association Carolinas Regional with four UNC players advancing to the Round of 16 in singles.
Senior William Parker, sophomore Esben Hess-Olesen and freshman Brett Clark all scored third round wins over opponents from Duke on Friday to join junior Nelson Vick in the Round of 16. UNC was one of only two schools (out of a field of 25) to advance four players to the fourth round of play.
Both Parker and Clark upset seeded Duke players in the third round. Parker defeated No 7 seed Jason Tahir 7-6, 1-6, 6-3 while Clark beat #6 seed Raphael Hemmeler of Duke 7-6, 6-2. Esben Hess-Olesen, the #9 seed, has gone 3-0 on the first two days, beating Josh Levine of Duke in the third round and defeating eight-seeded Andrew Mellow of Furman 6-2, 6-3 in the fourth round. Hess-Olesen is alive for the tar Heels in Saturday's quarterfinals.
Nelson Vick won tough matches in the second and third rounds before the #7 seeded junior from UNC lost a though three-setter to Michael Redlicki of Duke in the fourth round 6-7, 7-6, 6-2.

Goodwill of Central Arizona recently received a $30,000 grant from the Bank of America Charitable Foundation that will provide funding to Goodwill's Computer and Customer Service Training (CCST) program. The grant is part of the bank's focus on supporting local workforce development programs.
Goodwill of Central Arizona offers CCST training programs on-site at four (West Central Phoenix, Peoria, Southwest Phoenix and Yuma) of its 21 career centers. As a result of the grant, training services at these locations will be further supported.
Goodwill training programs feature a two-week curriculum that includes: technical computer skills (internet usage, Microsoft Suite), human relations services, and extended career preparation services. Additionally, the grant will enhance Goodwill's ability to prepare more job seekers for long-term competitive employment at family-sustaining wages.
"We appreciate Bank of America's support and dedication to our mission," said Tanya Perry, chief financial officer. "We have 21 Career Centers throughout Central Arizona and with corporate support from Bank of America, we'll be able to reach even more job seekers in their search for employment."
All of Goodwill's Career Centers offer on-site Career advisors, and provide job preparation and employment services including: interviewing skills training, resume writing, on-site hiring events and more. They are equipped with computers, printers, Internet access, telephones, and fax machines to provide services at no cost to the community.
"Having the right career preparation can make all the difference in helping workers to be successful in an already competitive workforce," said Benito Almanza, Arizona market president, Bank of America. "We've seen firsthand the tremendous impact of Goodwill's Career Centers career-readiness programs for underemployed and unemployed residents in aiding future employment success. Bank of America's workforce development grants help continue this type of focused and effective job preparation opportunities because sustainable employment ultimately helps to advance financial longevity."

Arguably the most capable of all the open source databases, PostgreSQL is an object-relational database management system first developed in 1977 by the University of California at Berkeley. In spite of its long history, this robust database suffers from a lack of easy-to-use documentation. Practical PostgreSQL fills that void with a fast-paced guide to installation, configuration, and usage.
This comprehensive new volume shows you how to compile PostgreSQL from source, create a database, and configure PostgreSQL to accept client-server connections. It also covers the many advanced features, such as transactions, versioning, replication, and referential integrity that enable developers and DBAs to use PostgreSQL for serious business applications. The thorough introduction to PostgreSQL's PL/pgSQL programming language explains how you can use this very useful but under-documented feature to develop stored procedures and triggers. The book includes a complete command reference, and database administrators will appreciate the chapters on user management, database maintenance, and backup & recovery. With Practical PostgreSQL, you will discover quickly why this open source database is such a great open source alternative to proprietary products from Oracle, IBM, and Microsoft.
Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects. The animal on the cover of Practical PostgreSQL is a mammoth. Mammoths (of the genus Mammuthus) inhabited the Earth during the last Ice Age, which ended about 10,000 years ago. There are several types of mammoths, such as Colombian and Imperial, but the best known is the woolly mammoth. Mammoths resided on the tundra of Asia, Europe, and North America over the Bering Strait land bridge.Known for their large size, mammoths ranged from 12 to 15 feet tall at the shoulder and weighted as much as 6 to 8 tons. They had long, dense hair and under fur, long trunks, and large ears. Their most prominent features were long, curved tusks that measured up to 16 feet. Mammoths used their tusks for digging underneath the snow to find food, for protections, and in mating rituals. As herbivores, they ate leaves of willow, hornbeam, fir, hazel, and alden. They lived up to 60 years in age. Scientists attribute the mammoths' extinction to the climate changes that ended the Ice Age. Sarah Jane Shangraw and Jeff Holcomb were the copyeditors for Practical PostgreSQL. Jane Ellin provided quality control.Ellie Volckhausen designed the cover of this book, based on a series design by Edie Freedman. The cover image is a 19th-century engraving from the Dover Pictorial Archive. Emma Colby produced the cover layout with QuarkXPress 4.1 using Adobe's ITC Garamond font.The print version of this book was created by translating the DocBook XML markup of its source files into a set of gtroff macros using a filter developed at O'Reilly & Associates by Norman Walsh. Steve Talbott designed and wrote the underlying macro set on the basis of the GNU troff -gs macros; Lenny Muellner adapted them to XML and implemented the book design. The text and heading fonts are ITC Garamond Light and Garamond Book; the code font is Constant Willison. This colophon was written by Linley Dolby.Whenever possible, our books use a durable and flexible lay-flat binding.

Comments about oreilly Practical PostgreSQL:
I came to this book after a decade away from databases in order to review stuff that I used to know.To this end it worked well, and was a relatively easy read.All of the reviews below are valid, but hey guys we have to remember that this book is 11 years old therefore cannot cover more recent technologies ( that is now a negative ) and it IS about the databse "back end" of modern use cases. It should not be expected to cover new technologies.With that said, I also have to rate it down on structure and production points.There are many incidents where early in the book advanced features are used as examples of basic syntax use before the reader has been made aware of the feature, and therefore much of the meaning is lost.Also - the proof reading is shocking - there are numerous cases where example results do not match the example code given. This is just shoddy proof reading, and adds difficulty for readers who are not expert in the subject matter.My recommendation is to seek out a more up to date reference.cheers
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Practical PostgreSQL Review
By Harold Wilson
from Undisclosed
I have to slam this book as well.Is was helpful with installation and initial configurations, but there was little or no explanation on how to interface with the database in Perl, C/C++, or any other standard language. It is as if the author never expectred you to use the database for a web-based application.A poor index doesn't help.The book suppports 7.1 and we are now on 7.4 and there is no "Second Edition" yet. I hope that a second edition (if there is one) os better organized.--madvax

I mostly worked on Microsoft SQL Server and MySQL before finally making the jump to PostgreSQL. Clearly PostgreSQL is the most robustdatabase I have used so far. Of all the PostgreSQL I own (at last count that was 5), the O'reilly book "Pratical prostgreSQL" is the one I refer tomost often. I use this book almost every day and cannot tell you how often thisbook has helped. The examples given are usually bang on to the specific needs that I encountered.My only concern with the book is that it doesn't cover PHP, which seems to be a natural fit for the best and most reliable open source database.

I am a dyed-in-the-wool O'Reilly book fan. At home and at work I have several dozen unix/linux, windows, database, and diverse programming language titles. They are readable, well-engineered books, by and large, and they have helped me immeasurably over the years, an ROI that I will probably never match elsewhere.Except for Practical PostgreSQL.My god, does this book suck. The most egregious of its defects, are its table of contents and its index. They are so brief and incomplete, that they alone render the book practically useless. We are not talking about an electronic document. which is searchable by hook or by crook. We are talking about a 600+ page physical book. To depend on exhaustive, page-by-page searches or serendipitous surprise to find things is crippling at best.I will not dwell on any other issues, such as lack of coverage of the PostgreSQL Catalog, the lack of programming tips in C, C++, or perl, etc. I hope the next edition, if one is ever produced, will represent an overhaul of the book's coverage and a robust indexing project. I will wait to see the online user reviews befor buying it, though.

Tinkerpuppets low tech 29g
I got my new tank up and running! I got a assortment of plants from a fish auction, not sure how much I love them, but fine for now. I have a feeling things may change...
8000k Daylight fluorescent T8
Aqueon 30 filter
100w Aqueon heater
Black flourite capped with gravel
I'm a bit fuzzy here, the auction wasn't very specific
Bacopa (stems back left)
Egeria Najas (stems back middle)
Hornwort (stems behind dw)
Java fern (?? hard to see, back of dw)
Red stems (?? not a clue)
nothing yet, need to cycle first
Totally open to suggestions. I think I need something along the right wall, although when sitting in our living room, that's a viewing side, I don't want it completely planted solid. And the sponge filter won't be staying, its from my other tank just helping with the cycle.
Nice start to the tank
The 2 plants on the left probably won't live with that low light. Only other plants that will grow with that light are ferns.
I too have a 29G. After adding a few T8 bulbs and a PC light fixture changed to a T5NO light strip. I wasted money trying 3 T8 bulbs. Pet Blvd sells it cheap under brand name Coralife. Pet Smart sells it under Aqueon brand name.
GMYukonon24s, thanks! It definitely is just a start. I don't like how 'wispy' it is (does that make sense?). But now that its at least up and running, I can change things out as I go.
Hilde, Thanks for the tips on the light! I do want to keep this low light, and to be honest, I don't love that back left plant. Too bad about the front left one, I do like that one. But there are lots of other low light plants I like too. I found a 13000k t8 bulb that I might change out to, but I'll wait for a few weeks and see what happens here first.
One thing that I am regretting is capping with the gravel. I have and like that look in my 10g, but I wish I had just stuck with the black flourite in this one for a change. But maybe once its more densely planted and I have some colourful fish in there it won't matter so much.
I added a dark blue background using silk material. Thus next thing I am going to do is take some of the black sand out and cover it with river sand. I got the river sand, which is brown, at a landscaper co for $3.
Perhaps you can a light at an aquarium club in your area. That is what I did.
Another option for a light is Hanging T5HO as Hyzer did
Not too much to report with this tank. I'm waiting for the cycle, I added a bunch of filter media from my other tank, so hopefully that helps to speed things up.
The plants are a disaster. The hornwort I learned doesn't root, and is now floating. I think that will be going to live in one of my stepdads tanks. I really don't like the stem back left. I think that will go too. I really like the front left plant, but the new leaves are green. I think I'll be upgrading the bulb soon. I want to keep this low light, but still be able to maintain some basic plants.
I like the anubias and the driftwood. But otherwise this is still a blank slate. If I'm going to start tearing out the plants, I think I may try scooping out the gravel and adding some more flourite.
Hilde, I do have a black background, although its just construction paper, not a rich super black paint. I thought about painting it when I set it up, but to be honest I'm just horrible with paint of any kind and the mess I would've made wasn't worth it, lol!
But I do want a different look then my 10gal. This is still feeling a bit like a copycat. And I think one of my biggest problems is the scale. I'm just used to working with a little tank.
So here it is. I'll make the changes over the next few weeks. Not rushing with this one!
If you used silk it would be shiny and darker.
I painted a tank and regretted doing it. It is a pain to remove.
You need to research plants that are suited for your tank. Then posted in the for sale section. You will get more for your buck from a member.
Silk? I never considered that. How do you attach it? Do you have any issues with water dripping or anything?
Totally agree with you about choosing plants BEFORE buying. I just got swept up at an auction (my local aquarium club does 2 a year, the latest being just before I set this up). I'm lucky to have an independent lfs that has great plants and usually knowledgeable staff. I really should've just gone there, their plant guy helped me choose some plants for my 10gal that I'm really happy with.
Most of the stuff in the sales forum seems to be from the US, while maybe they would ship to me in Canada, it could take weeks at the border and with the winter temps now, its not worth it. I do get a little jealous of all I see in that forum though!
Perhaps they have a forum you advertise your need for plants. Also post a want add at this forum and put Canada in the title. There are some members here whom live in Canada.
Some I've found are jcgd and Home_Simpson
I have removed the hornwort which I think helps already, it was very distracting. I added some river stones and rocks, not sure if I like them or not, but I had them and thought I'd try them. I have decided to remove the gravel and add some more fluorite. I really want to avoid a copycat tank of my 10gal, and do something different.
Plants I'm thinking of adding, some swords, vals, water sprite, crypts. My other tank is very 'bushy'. I'm thinking more stemy/leafy for this one. But I definitely need more, regardless!
I really thought about scraping out the gravel and adding more black flourite, but that seems like a lot of work, hah! I do like a bright tank, so I will keep the gravel. I did add some new plants today though.
First, a family member had bought some fish from someone and in the bag were a few little plants that he gave to me. It looked like they might have a rhizome, so I thought maybe they were a type of needle java fern or something and stuck them on my driftwood. But at the lfs today, I saw a bunch of crypts, which looked strikingly similar. Someone here was kind enough to confirm they are in fact crypts, so I have planted them along the rock line. I quite like how little they are and that they fit in with the rocks. I think I might keep the rocks if there's something to soften them a bit.
I added a sword in with all the stems. I think the big leaves look nice with all the tiny leaves of the stems.
Then behind the driftwood I removed the sponge filter. It was big and in the way. I added some corkscrew vals and some water sprite.
I think just the few extra plants have helped a lot!
There is still a space between the red plant front left and the bacopa in the back against the side of the tank, I think maybe another sword would fill that in nicely.
Also, the red plant does seem to be melting. Meh. It would be too bad, but not the end of the world. So I think about my lighting a lot, I just can't figure out what a better bulb to upgrade to might be. So far the Hagen Life Glo seems to be a popular choice. I was at my lfs today, and they had the Aqua Glo, Power Glo and were waiting on a shipment for the Life Glo. But I just don't know if its any better then the bulb I have now.
My cycle is coming along. Ammonia is nearing zero every day, the nitrites are either 1 or 5 (I just can't tell the difference on the colour strip!), and my nitrates hover between 5-15. I'm raising ammonia to about 2-3 every day, so something is happening!
So now I'm just going to sit back, I'm pretty happy with how its looking with the new plants. I look forward to them filling in a bit and the vals growing a bit to peek over the driftwood. I'm working on my stocking list, and other wise just enjoying the new tank, which looks much nicer then my 10g in the space (although I find myself sitting in my sons room a lot watching my 10g still!).
Well I just couldn't let go of the idea of switching the substrate to black sand. The light gravel was fine, I liked it, but it seemed like a copy cat of my little 10g. I wanted something different. So I tore it down and switched to Flourite Black Sand with a little aquarium black sand to build up the corners.
The rotala was melted and I gave up. I moved most of the plants into new spots and I'm much happier with the layout. Everything but the baby crypts in front of the driftwood has new leaves/growth. I do plan on lining the front of the plant line from the front left corner to behind the driftwood with some dwarf sag I'll take from my little tank.
And I will be swapping the bulb out. Right now its the Aqueon 8000k T8 that came with the hood. I didn't notice so much with the lighter gravel, but its really blue/purple with the black sand. I hit up Canadian Tire, Home Depot and Rona yesterday with no luck, so I think I'll just grab a Hagen Life Glo from my LFS next time I'm there.
I also ordered some osmocote caps from a member here, so hopefully will have them in the next couple weeks. And I ordered a Fluval C4 to replace the stock hob (which will be moved to my 10g). That should be going on the tank on Tuesday. I'll run both for awhile until its seeded.
And a family member tore down a little tank and dropped off two guppies. Not exactly what I had in mind, but it was either my tank or his cichlid tank, so they're with me now. I have my stocking list in mind, I'll see if maybe my lfs will take them off my hands when I go to start buying my fish.
Anyways, it was a lot of work (and I hate having to buy/replace stuff), but I am happier. Its visually very different then my other tank, and when I swap the bulbs I think it will be just what I had in mind. I'm looking forward to the plants growing in now!
One scaping question, will the Water Wisteria grow taller then the sword? Is the back corner a good place for it?
And any other comments/constructive criticism is greatly appreciated!
Nice tank looks alot better with the new placement and black sand I like your driftwood looks similar to the one I have in my 5g RCS tank
Thanks Rexthecrayfish!
Few changes again. I moved the crypts over to the left in front of the plant line. Then I added the two rocks in front of the driftwood and put in a few dwarf sag. I really like how it looks.
I also swapped out the bulb for a Hagen Life Glo (6700k). I much prefer the colour of the light.
And today was stocking day. I love that there's life in there now. After spending awhile just sitting in front of the tank, my husband made the comment that my tanks are 'a storage container for my sanity. All my crazies go there to die'. Lol! And a pretty succinct summary. Nothing clears my head after chasing my two boys around (seriously, I need a referee whistle!) like zenning out in front of my tanks.
So now to sit back and let things fill in. All the plants have new growth except the vals. I ordered some osmocote caps, but having to travel across the border and throwing in the American Thanksgiving holiday, it will probably be at least another week before I see those.
Looking good! Some moss on that DW would be cool i think.
what u got in there? i see an oto, and some neons?
seems like plenty of space for another 50 neons, maybe? :P

Summit Up 11-26-12: Imploring all to do more snow dances
November 25, 2012
Good morning and welcome to Summit Up, the world's only daily column that is still stuffed and tired from a weekend chock-full of alcohol, no fewer than two turkey dinners and heaping helpings of guilt from our mother about how infrequently we visit. Well, Mom, maybe if you made stuffing every weekend we'd be induced to make the trek more often.
MILLIONS OF SUMMIT UP READERS: Amen, brother!
SUMMIT UP: Alas, now it's Monday and there's a solid month of shopping and stressing to do before we can look forward to another holiday break, so back to work with us.
First order of business is a bit more information about this lovely lady to our right holding all the corn.
MSUR: Yeah, what gives there?
SU: Glad you asked. The pic is from a Ms. Stephanie Burt,, who our sharply honed powers of deduction tell us must be the lady in the picture. She writes thusly:
"We live in Summit Cove and have a greenhouse where I have grown some very sweet corn."
To which we can only say, well done Stephanie. Perhaps your family enjoyed marginally more sweet corn at their Thanksgiving table than we did. Perhaps you will send us some to sample.
Folks, it's not very cold outside and it's certainly not snowing, which can only lead us to believe you have not been doing your prescribed snow dances, and Ullr is displeased. Like a stern dentist admonishing a lazy flosser, we must remind you to do the snow jig at least once a day for health. We out.

Hey Gang..
Been working on an awesome custom mando, but I've hit a snag.
I cannot find a large enough silver/mirrored visor to fit my helmet.
I need a visor that is at least 11 inches in radius and 7 inches in height.
Spent the past month and a half scouring the internet and ebay,
and the closest thing I've found are motorcycle visors which are a tad too small.
I've seen VERY LARGE reflective visors before, usually worn with firemen's helmets, and so far searching firefighting supply companies has turned up zilch.
Anyone have any tips, or insight on how I might find such a critter?
By the way, before anyone suggests it, silver window tint won't work.
Thanks in advance!

what'd you take a loan out to get that? Can't wait to see your progress
awsome Wes !!! Your well on your way bro, can't wait to keep an eye on your progress.
BM does some great work doesn't he, clean as a whistle his parts are.
Lookin good
Nice, need help LMK,,, Id get the aluminum shoulder and knee darts. You know youll just spend the money later and its a PAIN to take to old stuff off. Trust me!
no kidding man, did u take out a loan lol!
have fun with it
yeah, replacing the darts once you're all built up is a huge pain.shortimer52 said:
great looking set there. i did everything bit by bit, so i never got to see everything layed out before me like that!
fun times ahead painting that, I got the same armor.
Well, the way I see it. We are constantly spending money to create our "perfect" Fett, so I figured to go ahead and start with the perfect armor.zombierepellent said:
It bugs when some of these guys complain about not having the money instead of doing something about it. I work a full time job, go to school at night, married and have 2 kids. I do computer work on the side to fund my projects. When you put a little aside every month it doesn't take long to add up to a new set of BM armor.
It is possible, you just need dedication and a little patience.
Your not kidding, DAZ was a Mando blacksmith in another life.:thumbupBM does some great work doesn't he, clean as a whistle his parts are.
Already working on it bro..Id get the aluminum shoulder and knee darts.
Eventually I will get a set of Bobamaker armor but at the moment I'm experimenting with what I have.
Work has begun.
Here is a quick shot of my right plate using Evans armor stencils. He has done a killer job.
This is minus the weathering

Looking very good Delta75!
Looks great! I'll be starting on my brand new set of BM armor myself here shortly!
Lookin good so far! I just broke down today and ordered my armor from DAZ. I got the whole shabang; back, cod, butt, knees, shoulders, chest, and collar. I'm so excited! This 8 weeks is gonna drag on! I wish I would have listened to Rip. I could be wearing it by now.
I forgot to ask you something Delta, how much prep work was necessary before paint?
Buckeye_01 said:
None at all.
Everything is sanded baby butt smooth and primed for you.
Only thing I did was lay down a base coat of Aluminum because all my scratches are masked.
Looks killer.. Off to a great start Wes
glad to hear you are happy with Bobamakers items! I just purchased evrythinghe makes & it does put a "dent" in the wallet, but like you stated " if you want the best than you find a way to pay for it". Daz is doing my paint scheme as well. My wife thinks I'm crazy for the amount that I will totally spend to make my Boba Fett as dead on as it can get! I am also one of the first to purchase his new "jet pack". Let's just say the total amount doesn't come close to what I spent on my first car (1971 VW Karmann Ghia)! But I know it will be worth it when I join the 501st. Will keep you all posted.

This collection is scanned images of parish registers are held at the Norfolk & Norwich Record Office. The images are of baptism, marriage banns, marriages and burials and they have been indexed. The images can also be browsed page by page if you so wish. It is a little confusing exactly which parishes are included in this collection, however under the browse section is a list of the parishes, click on the place of interest and a list of the time period and type of record is displayed.

AMES, Iowa — Horticulture specialists with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach have advice on how to maintain plants during the winter, including how to protect trees and shrubs from salt damage. Even though it may not seem necessary to care for plants during winter, it is key to ensuring beautiful yards and gardens in the spring. To have additional yard and garden questions answered contact the Iowa State University Hortline at email@example.com or 515-294-3108.
Homeowners can minimize salt damage by using deicing salts prudently. Before applying salt, wait until the precipitation has ended and remove as much of the ice and snow as possible. Use deicing salts at rates sufficient to loosen ice and snow from driveways and sidewalks, then remove the loosened ice and snow with a shovel (deicing salts need to be applied at much higher rates to completely melt ice and snow). Mix salt with abrasive materials, such as sand or kitty litter. Fifty pounds of sand mixed with one pound of salt works effectively. Avoid piling salt-laden snow and ice around trees and shrubs.
While the amount of salt applied to major roadways cannot be controlled, steps can be taken to minimize damage. As soon as the ground thaws in early spring, heavily water areas where salt accumulates over winter. A thorough soaking should help flush the salt from the root zone of plants. If possible, alter the drainage pattern so winter run-off drains away from ornamental plants. When planting trees near major streets or highways, select salt tolerant tree species. Bur oak, northern red oak, honeylocust, northern catalpa, Kentucky coffeetree, horse chestnut, mugo pine and eastern red-cedar are salt tolerant tree species.
The weight of heavy, wet snow can cause considerable damage to small trees and shrubs. In late fall, multi-stemmed evergreens, such as arborvitae, can be wrapped with twine or rope to prevent damage from heavy snows. When heavy, wet snow accumulates on small trees and shrubs gently shake the snow from their branches or carefully brush off the snow with a broom. When clearing driveways and sidewalks, do not throw heavy, wet snow onto small trees or shrubs. Also, avoid dumping snow onto small trees and shrubs when raking snow off roofs.
The most effective way to prevent rabbit damage to trees and shrubs in the home landscape is to place chicken wire fencing or hardware cloth around vulnerable plants. To adequately protect plants, the fencing material needs to be high enough that rabbits won't be able to climb or reach over the fence after a heavy snow. In most cases, a fence that stands 24 to 36 inches tall should be sufficient. To prevent rabbits from crawling underneath the fencing, bury the bottom 2 or 3 inches below the ground or pin the fencing to the soil with u-shaped anchor pins. Young trees can also be protected by placing white spiral tree guards around their trunks.
After a heavy snow, check protected plants to make sure rabbits aren't able to reach or climb over the fencing or tree guards. If necessary, remove some of the snow to keep rabbits from reaching the trees or shrubs.
Narrow and broadleaf evergreens lose considerable amounts of moisture through their leaves or needles, buds and stems during the winter months. The loss of water is mainly due to strong winds and sun. Once the ground freezes, however, plant roots are no longer able to absorb water. Plant foliage that loses a large amount of moisture may eventually dry out, turn brown and die. The damage to the needles or foliage is referred to as desiccation injury or winter burn. While desiccation injury occurs during the winter months, damaged needles or foliage often retain their green color until late winter or early spring.
To prevent desiccation injury, deeply water susceptible narrow and broadleaf evergreens in fall if the soil is dry. Continue watering on a regular basis until the ground freezes in winter. Watering is especially important to evergreens planted in the last two or three years. Moisture loss can be reduced by erecting a shield or screen to deflect drying winds or shade plants in winter. A simple screen can be constructed with wooden posts and burlap. Applications of an anti-desiccant to susceptible evergreens may also be helpful.
