Thomas Vermaelen does not mind which Arsenal centre-back lines up alongside him against Barcelona.
William Gallas, Sol Campbell and Mikael Silvestre have partnered the Belgian at Arsenal this season.
Gallas is back in the squad for tomorrow night's Champions League Quarter-Final first leg but he is by no means certain to start. Vermaelen is still in the dark about the identity of his partner but he is not concerned about who lines up next to him at Emirates Stadium.
"For me it does not matter," he said. "I have played with all three centre-backs and for me it doesn't matter, it is the boss' decision.
"William trained today and I think he will be in the squad tomorrow. For me it does not matter who plays."
Campbell and Gallas are favourites to line up alongside Vermaelen and the 24-year-old Belgian rates them both.
"There is a difference," said Vermaelen. "But they are both really experienced and that helps me a lot. They are both really good players and it is good for me to play alongside these two players."

Introducing Satine in Cobalt Blue
November 22nd, 20120
Our popular Satine bra has now arrived in a gorgeous new cobalt blue just in time for Christmas!
The gorgeous satin feel of this bra and the fact that it goes up to a J cup has earned it 4 and a half hearts in customer reviews.
Customers have said that it's great for everyday wear & that the satin makes it feel more luxurious. It's already available in an ivory and black and we have more colourways planned (a gorgeous colour coming for early spring in time for Valentine's Day!), it's definately one worth trying.
Have you worn Satine? What do you think?

Need new hunting/3D bow, suggestions?
I recently had a High Country Brute Force bow stolen from the shop it was
being fixed at. It's 2 years old and I haven't kept up with the industry.
What brands and models would be a good comparable bow to buy when I get my
insurance money. Any new technology? Brands? It's used for hunting and some
3 D shooting. thanks

I don't know much about the bow you were shooting, but I recently bought a Mathews Outback which I am extremely happy with. I shot the same Golden Eagle for 7 years and was so comfortable with it that I didn't want to got through the hassle of buying and setting up a new bow. Last week I finally gave in and bought the Mathews. I set it up with a Copper John Dead Nuts sight, Trophy Ridge Drop Zone rest, and Doinker D2 multi rod stabilizer. After only 2 days of shooting with it, it is deadly out to 60 yards. The bow is extremely quiet and smooth. Some of my buddys are shooting the new Hoyt razortec and xtecs, and they say they are just as happy with those. I think once you get it down to a few different bows you can usually decide simply by which one feels best in your hand.

good question i was looking into the martin slayer. i am currently shooting a mathews conquest and am unhappy with it.
You have many to choose from
I can only recommend that which may give you some ideas.You want a bow for hunting and 3d?
Well the outback and the liberty and the slayer are all really excellent bows...and are undoubtably fine for that single shot in a stand.
I sold my outback 3 weeks ago and it was a great bow.
I shot the Bowtech liberty even yesterday and have to say it was just as good if not a better bow due to adjustability.They do have a pro40 you might want to check out.
Now I just purchased a hoyt ultra-elite with 2000 limbs/cam1/2.
I can say that it suits me fairly well for both hunting and 3d.I am starting a loving relationship with it the more I shoot it if you know what I mean.
The axle to axle and the speed are two good starting places.
I could even shoot in the 290's with the outback on a good day at a 3d.
I am not saying what you should buy at all...But
there are many decisions you have to make enough as to equipment choices,and you have to consider what makes you a better archer period.
The longer the riser and axle to axle on any bow makes a archer a better more forgiving shot 99.9% of the time,consistently.
The speed issue lets you cover longer ranges out to farther distances,so,if your off a little on guessing yardages you are not looking at a gutshot at 50 yards when you shot it at 45.
Here is another rub...
Hoyts new 2005 bows hits the shelfs around dec.maybe jan.,but are released around october.
You have to make your order asap to get your new bow asap.And it's the same way with every bow dealer,really.The sooner he places the order the sooner you get your bow,500,000 screaming bow shooters want a new bow all in one week,and your in line.
All other manufacturers some time usually after jan.and this year "the bow world" atleast I have been living in should be incredible with new great bows for 2005.
You might want to get a hunting bow and save up your denero for a new one in 2005's list of bows.
Technology has it's way with archery these days,2 years go by and even my bow I bought is like a studabager original with custom leather.
I hope you realize that know matter what you decide to go with on a bow,it's adjustable and draws easily for you and makes for good hunting whatever you decide to hunt.
Not only do I think just one bow maker has something in store for 2005,I think there many companies that you might try to put a bow out to really say shock everyones tastebuds this year.we won't know till we shoot em,ya know?
The libertyvft and the outback are great for hunting,though.

Guys, I ain't gonna sit here and tell you not to get a SlayR because I have one. From that I can draw some conclusions. It is a heavy bow--which I like. My choice for a similar performing bow in the Martin line would be the Cougar Mag with Nitrous cams. On paper it is 1" shorter at 36 1/2", almost a pound lighter, only 5fps slower, and retails for about $160 less.
You'd have to shoot one of these things to appreciate the speed you get out of a speed cam that rolls over almost like a round wheel. It doesn't have that sharp letoff associated with most single cams, but sure draws to a rock solid wall with a very short valley. Keep the drawlength a bit on the short side to stay in the wall.
My SlayR is blistering the charts compared to all the bows I've had in the past. I just changed arrows yesterday and ran them through the chrono. At 27.5" draw and 55lbs shooting an IBO setup is doing 298fps. My hunting setup is doing 280fps---and quietly I might add.
Any short draw archer who has chased the mythical 300fps can possible achieve it with this bow, or nearly so. I got a few tweaks up my sleeve and expect to try them right after hunting season. Results should be interesting as I expect to be right around 308fps with the same draw and peak weight.
What kind of arrows are you punching out of that thing?
What kind and what and they weigh,what's for hunting?

CA Moves To Coordinate Work On Water Issues
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Leaders of the three state agencies that deal with California water availability, quality and consumption say they will begin looking at the state's water issues comprehensively rather than dealing with each problem separate from the others.
Three state departments on Thursday released a draft plan meant to be the backbone of an effort to identify and prioritize projects ranging from poor quality, declining fish habitat, groundwater over-drafting and water scarcity in a warming climate.
The Department of Natural Resources, Cal EPA and the Department of Food and Agriculture previously worked independently to solve problems under the domain of each.
Gov. Jerry Brown in May directed the agencies to work together to better sustain the state's increasingly uncertain water supplies.
A final plan is due by December after stakeholders weigh in.

Hmm do I actually want paisley hives?
Rather than get off topic on Robo's post about his IPM screened bottom I thought I would make a different post to run this related idea up the flag pole. I have been planing to make a large, elevated hive stand or two, big enough to hold 6-10 hives in my new bee yard. As I made plans for this device it occurred to me that a few alterations might turn this device into a much larger version of Robo's IPM screened bottom board. I am thinking of using treated 4x4 posts, in concrete, I would recommend not macking it permanent in the ground, but instead set it on concrete blocks/brick. Although you know where you want it today, conditions can change and next week or a year from now you might want it someplace else.as legs and 2x6 boards as the frame the hives will sit on. If the legs are on the outside bolted to my 2x6 frame I should be able to cover the entire bottom with mesh wire very easily. A single or multiple boards attached to the entrance side of the frame would provide a landing platform. Adding fabric or wood around the frame bottom on three sides (short of the ground) should discourage the bees from flying out those thee sides and encourage them to exit in the direction preferred, assuming the mesh in the wire will allow bee passage. Recesses in the 2X6's could provide hive level entrances. 2X2 or even 2x4 cleats on the two sides and back could raise individual hives and leave a front entrance without cutting into the 2x6 base. I would like some suggestions concerning the construction of this device. 1) How much space should there be between hives? At least enough for the telescopic covers to clear each other, but more is better.2) Should gaps between hive bodies be covered with: fabric, screen, wire mesh or wood? Your choice, but if you don't cover it they will use it as an entrance.2) Should I use a bottom mesh that will allow bee passage? Assuming that I will use fabric or lumber to direct the bees to exit the preferred side. This is a catch-22. If you use mesh that the bees can get through, they will use all sides for an entrance, regardless if you provide what you think is an easier access point. If you use mesh that the bees can't get through, and the entrance is not at mesh level, you need to come up with a way to clean out the dead bees and debris that builds up.3) Should I provide a landing board at the front of the hives? Assuming that the hives themselves do not have bottom boards. Bees are pretty adaptive and have no landing boards in feral colonies. However I like to provide one because I feel it does make it easier on them when they are loaded down. I even put them on my double screen boards.4) If 3 was yes how large should the landing board be and should it be flat or tilted? Your choice, there is no magic size. I put a 4" on my normal SBB at 15 degrees.Click image for larger viewAnd use a small scrap of wood on the double screen boards.Click image for larger view5) If 3 & 4 should each hive have individual, seperated landing boards or will one long landing board work? I am wondering if one long landing board would encourage robbing. I imagine this decision relates to 1 too. Robbing is probably the biggest thing you will need to watch for depending on how open you make the entrance area (previous questions). I don't think the common landing board is the biggest exposure, probably more of the ability of the bees to go out the bottom and over to an adjacent hive.Thanks in advance for any suggestions. Thanks to Robo for the deep screened bottom idea.

I laughed a bit while reading Aramintas list, I love so many of those names and lots are in my top 10!!! I will keep my eyes open for oddities for you Angel! Try checking local birth name lists and registries! Service Alberta prints the name of every baby born in Alberta, and there are I think at least a decade or two of lists now.

@ Irmgard: I already knew all of yours since Greek is my religion, so I've been through my obscure Greek names, bu I like some of what you suggested and probably no one really knows them.
I like:
Achlys (maybe for a bad person)
@je m'appelle -- I already have Leontine on the list and I used Theophilus in the last book. I like:
- Leontine
- Severin
@Kibby -- nope I can't look at local birth announcements because the kinds of names we get around her are like Jay'Dehn and Zerihn'ehTy (Jaden and Serenity) and that is definitely not what I'm looking for. But you an I have a similar style so I'm sure you can find some good ones for me.

I would never have considered Cymbeline for a guy -> I always thought of it as a great alternative name for Thumbelina. (Not really sure why) But really, why not?

End of life decisions
Some of you may have picked up that my Grandpa is is poor health. I'll give some background.
He's 93, has Alzheimer, is legally blind in one eye, and damn near in the other. He's very hard of hearing. We finally moved him to a "skilled nursing" home, that said they could care for him. He weekly gets UTI, because of a swollen prostate, not allowing him to void completely resulting in him having to be catheterized twice a day. He only has 4 teeth, and has swallowing issues, that cause him to aspirate liquids and foods. Oh yeah, and he's a diabetic.
Since he's moved to the nursing home, since he's a fall risk, they don't allow him to get up and walk, thus, his legs have began to atrophy.
Here's the kicker.... His heart is strong, and every so often , he has very good moments of lucidity. My Uncles are saying to "just let nature take it's natural course", and to not assist with anything. It's been decided that standing orders are to not assist with Cardiac, respiratory emergencies. Then there is the issue to artificial hydration and nutrition. The family has said that they don't want to remember him with feeding tubes sticking out of him, and honestly, there's no way he would tolerate it, and would rip it out. He does well with IVs, but now there is questions about that.
With his swallowing issue, it is easier to give him antibiotics, pain meds ect via IV, so he doesn't have to swallow. My uncle is starting to lean towards the no IVs, and to let him die.
My argument it is not our place to give or take life. But is our job to make him as comfortable as possible, and when God is ready to take him, he will. In the mean time, allowing him to dehydrate to death, and not be able to receive any medications via IV is in humane, and it's failing at our responsibility to make him comfortable.
We have enlisted Hospice to come into the nursing home, and assist in his care (County Side nursing him in Jackson Michigan is HORRID care) but they don't do IVs.
What is the right way to go here?

The right way to go is whatever you and your family feel is right. We don't know him as well as you, and what you want may not be what he wants, etc.
I do agree that pulling everything and allowing him to die that way is pretty inhumane. However, what do you think your grandpa would want?
If it were me, I'd want to be gone before ever getting to this point.

I don't think that we should allow our passionate opinion to cloud the fact that we believe that when God is ready for us to come home, that he will take us. I agree that 'mechanical intervention' is not what God would want, as that would be intervening with his plan. That's where I get my thought line of it's our responsibility to keep him comfortable until that time. I guess the gray area is where/what is the point of comfort care and mechanical care?

My Grandmother had vascular dementia. Damn near in the exact same spot as your Grandpa is in. In the end she the disease literally made her forget how to swallow. She had fallen out of her wheelchair and broken her arm which wasn't healing. My Dad could have kept her alive with an IV, but at that point she didn't know who anyone was anymore and tube feeding her just would have drawn out her painful end.
Either way you cut it, whether it's 4-5 weeks or 4-5 years, he's still going to die from starvation, dehydration, etc. It will be painful either way. It's just whether you and your family feel it's necessary to let him continue to deteriorate for 4-5 years or let nature take it's course.

Thats a tough choice, but as you already stated keep him comfortable and hydrated. Pain meds are terrible, they make you constipated and mentally out of touch. When he is ready to go I'm sure he will let you know.
I watched my mother in law die of cancer and it was hard but that is what she wanted, to die at home with family. Tha last two days were the worst, pain meds and keeping her hydrated and when her time was up God took her home. As Christians believe like your grandpa that there is more than this life here on earth, an eternity with God. Until then we wait it out until its time to go home.

I don't envy you at all. It was hard enough to be told via telephone conference as I was racing down 75, that "You need to make a decision involving your mother's care, sir...". I cried and cried coming to the realization that my mother needed to no longer be on mechanical life support.
I don't wish to give advice. I don't regret the decisions made with my mom. Painful to recall what I went through with my sister in order to come to a decision, majorly because my sister feared any decision. She left it up to me.
I don;t even know why I posted to this thread, I've nothing to offer except my condolences. Im terribly sorry.

That's a tough call. As only a grand child I would imagine you don't have as much of a voice. We went through a long and drawn out death with all 4 of my grandparents. It was tough.
The best advice I could give you is to not let your family make the Decision on convenience. Not saying they would, or they are, but it can be an issue for some people. "We don't want to have to watch after mom or dad for 4 or 5 years, lets "end their suffering". Like I said, I don't think that's the case here or very common, but it happens.
From the Christian Stand point, I would hope your Grandpa would have realized by now that he is not in control of his life. God is. And while God does have his timing (by using modern medicine) it might not be for purely your Grandpa's life. God uses our Sufferings to make us stronger. He could very well have your Grandpa in the position he is in to make an impact on someone he interacts with on a daily basis. Coherent or not.
If it were me, I'd make sure he was comfortable and wait for nature to take it's course. That's how my parents (and uncles and aunts) handled all of my grandparents.
And just remember, they took care of you when you couldn't talk, you pooped your pants, and you weren't able to coherently talk. Seems only far that the favor be returned. .

What my family is trying to disquingish is, where is the line between modern medicine intervention, and letting nature take it's course. If I had been 'left to take natures course' I would have been dead by the time I was 10.

My father is close to death, not as close as you describe above.
The one thing that we know is he did not want to be resesitated etc, as he expressed these opinions prior to becoming as ill as he is now.
Did your grandpa ever express / discuss his end of life wishes prior to becoming incapable of making these decisions? Most people have these discussions as they get older.
If so follow allong with that as it was discussed.

Tough call and I don't know how to give advice on this. Did he ever assign anyone with a living will or other document? Otherwise, it becomes a family decision.
What do the doctors recommend?

|Topic Review (Newest First)
But when car enthusiasts talk about a vehicle being "numbers matching" (NM), they are basically saying the car is as it was originally produced, that the originally installed equipment is still intact.
There are shades of gray in all this, too, namely "correct vs. original". Many parts do not carry a partial VIN on them, only a casting number (c/n) and date code in most cases. To be NM, the parts have to have the correct c/n as well as a date code that precedes the build date of the vehicle by the appropriate length of time. So obviously this leaves open the possibility that the "correct" parts (right date and c/n) might not be the "original" parts that actually originated w/that particular vehicle.
|Matching numbers is the most mis-used term in the hobby. Literally, there are VIN-derivative numbers stamped on the block and trans. If these numbers match the VIN, the car is numbers matching. Period.
Your dad is probably correct as to the original meaning when it was first used in the 60's. The government made the auto makers start marking their major components(block,trans, body, frame,...) with a partial vin so as to control car theft and chop shops easier.
By the 80's, the term had come to mean an original or restored car that still retained its original stamped major components, and car buyers were willing to pay a premium for a "matching numbers car"). Concourse type restorations even take the :numbers matching) to the next level, by making sure they use the correct part numbered intakes, carbs, distributors, etc., with a correct build date stamping
Unfortunately, when something drives the price of something upwards, there are people who will represent things to be what they are not. Lots of restamped carbs and distributors on the Internet.
If someone is selling a numbers matching car, they should be able to visually prove it to the buyer, and the buyer should confirm it.
Matching numbers means JUST THAT ...
All the numbers on the vehicle match. It still has the original motor, transmission rear end ECT. Nothing changed except ordinary maintence items.
This is not a MUSCLE CAR ... but it is a matching numbers convertible that is 45 years old.

Matching numbers
I have a conundrum. I would like to see what the popular take on a numbers matching car is. My father-in-law, an ol' skool hotrodder, once explained to me that a numbers matching car was a car built in the very late sixties to present and represented the start of automobile automation. Matching numbers is the product of preplanned automated vehicle production and the muscle cars of the late sixties and all cars through present fall under this category. I believed this for a long time and I am finding out that this is not a popular theory, although there others who also believe this to be true.
So lets lay it to rest once and for all and give me the scoop on what matching numbers really is. I know this generally starts a few disagreements, but this is to find the most popular definition for my own knowledge.
Thanks guys for bearing with me on this matter.

Public surveys have reported high levels of public acceptance for wind energy in general; however, this acceptance has not always been reflected in community responses to local wind projects.

Yet the information in support of breastfeeding's purported benefits is problematic, even as public discourse vilifies the alternative. This paper examines the issues surrounding infant feeding choices and the way in which information is utilized and manipulated by both sides of the emotionally charged breast vs. bottle debate. While there are good reasons to support breastfeeding practices, the current state of our knowledge of its benefits does not justify the often strident tone and harsh judgment adopted by breastfeeding advocates. 2013-02-23T00:00:00Z Qualitative evidence, knowledge translation, and policy-making, with reference to health technology assessment http://hdl.handle.net/10222/16034 Qualitative evidence, knowledge translation, and policy-making, with reference to health technology assessment Penney, Jordan Although efforts to draw qualitative evidence into health-related policy-making and health technology assessment (HTA) processes have increased in recent years, the range of sources consulted are still limited and the theoretical foundations for consulting them are underdeveloped. This essay builds on such recent scholarship, first, by opening conventional models of knowledge translation up to the possibilities of qualitative evidence, and second, by demonstrating the utility of this wider range of qualitative evidence, signally that of humanities scholarship, in health-related policy-making. The second of these will consist of two themes – pain and narrativity – that will illustrate both the particular complexity of policy-making in HTA, whereby social, ethical, and moral variables are at play, and the mitigating affect humanities scholarship, at its best, might have on this fraught process. 2013-02-23T00:00:00Z Managing Current Complexity: Critical Energy Infrastructure Failures in North America http://hdl.handle.net/10222/16033 Managing Current Complexity: Critical Energy Infrastructure Failures in North America Oldreive, Melissa E; MacDonald, Colin; Pegolo, Eric This paper applies the competing theories of High Reliability Organizations (HRO) and Normal Accidents Theory (NAT), two competing views of risk management in highly-complex and tightly-coupled systems, in analyzing the 1998 Ice Storm and the 2003 Blackout to examine vulnerabilities in North America's critical energy infrastructure (CEI). Inferences are then made by highlighting the similarities and differences in the two cases, which are then used to draw lessons for public managers regarding the protection of CEIs. As CEIs are highly-complex and tightly-coupled systems, failures stemming from complex and uncertain risks are inevitable. There is an increasingly low tolerance for failure in energy infrastructure because society's critical infrastructures have become increasingly interdependent. Public managers must regulate CEIs in order to ensure an emphasis is placed on safety and security while also finding ways to reduce unnecessary complexities. It is through the adoption of such measures that public managers will aid in minimizing the cascading effects of inevitable failures. 2013-02-23T00:00:00Z

March 5, 2013
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - The No. 8/10 Tennessee softball team enters the second phase of its 2013 season this week when it opens Southeastern Conference play at home against rival and defending national champion No. 1/2 Alabama.
The homecoming comes immediately after a 25-day grind that saw Tennessee (19-3) playing 21 of its first 22 games on the road, often in unseasonably cold conditions. The Lady Vols battled through this gauntlet of travel, chilly weather and limited rest to prepare for the trials of the SEC portion of their schedule.
"As we conclude our pre-conference schedule, I am really proud of our girls for being road warriors and for playing in some of the coldest temperatures I've ever coached in since I've been at Tennessee," Tennessee co-head coach Ralph Weekly said. "We concluded this last trip with a victory at Charleston Southern in a wind chill of about 37 degrees, and I was especially proud of the girls. I've seen them play better, but I've never seen them play tougher. I know I wore about five layers of clothes myself, and it's amazing to think that Ellen Renfroe got 11 strikeouts in that weather. I had trouble holding a clipboard."
The Lady Vols enter SEC play in midseason form in both the batter's box and the pitcher's circle. The team is batting .346 as a team and averaging 7.5 runs per game while limiting opponents to a .164 batting average and 1.2 runs per contest. Tennessee's pitchers have combined for a 1.15 ERA and struck out 156 batters over 140.0 innings of work.
Seven UT batters are hitting .322 or higher. Senior Raven Chavanne leads the team with a .471 batting average, a .549 on-base percentage and 17 stolen bases. Senior Lauren Gibson is batting .400 with three homers, four doubles, one triple and 16 RBIs. Gibson and Chavanne are tied for the team lead with 24 runs scored. Sophomore Cheyanne Tarango has been a key power hitter for Tennessee so far this season and leads the team with five homers and 24 RBIs. Junior Madison Shipman continues to serve as one of the team's main run producers, accounting for 21 RBIs and scored 20 runs. Senior Kat Dotson has come up with some key hits, tallying two doubles, three triples, three homers and 19 RBIs.
In the circle, all four of Tennessee's pitchers have enjoyed a strong start to 2013. Junior Ellen Renfroe is 7-1 with an 0.80 ERA and 67 strikeouts in 52.1 innings of work. Senior Ivy Renfroe is 6-1 with an 0.91 ERA and 48 strikeouts in 46.1 frames.
The season started at the Red Desert Classic from Feb. 7-9 as UT took wins over Southern Utah, Idaho State, Utah State, South Dakota and BYU to post a 5-0 record. The final game against Oklahoma State was canceled by the tournament director due to a wind chill of 32 degree.
In Tennessee's second week of travel, the Lady Vols headed south to Tampa, Fla., to play in the USF Tournament. UT swept the field going 5-0 against North Carolina State, Coastal Carolina and then-No. 12/12 USF in a tournament format.
The Lady Vols made a second trip west of the Mississippi for the Mary Nutter Collegiate Classic in Cathedral City, Calif., from Feb. 21-23. UT went 3-2 in Palm Springs, winning three games by shutout and falling to Northwestern, 3-2, and then-No.16/13 UCLA, 2-0. The tournament schedule featured a stretch where UT played three games over an 18-hour period and also included two games played at 8:30 p.m. Pacific Time/11:30 p.m. Eastern Time.
Tennessee defeated Lipscomb, 6-0, in its 2013 home opener on Feb. 26 before heading to South Carolina to play at College of Charleston on Feb. 28 and compete in the Buccaneer Invitational from March 1-3. UT suffered a 3-1 setback at CofC, but bounced back in the Buccaneer Invitational, going 5-0 and winning the tournament.
From start to finish, the Lady Vols, who combined for a 3.42 GPA in the fall, also managed a lot of study time during the packed schedule of competition.
"We studied on the bus, in the rooms and on airplanes," Weekly said. "I'm very proud of the team's fall GPA and the players' approach academically. Academics will always be a top priority at home or on the road."
"Karen and I are extremely pleased with the way our team and staff continue to represent Tennessee on the field and in the classroom."

Looks like a new grille ,and some interior nav updates
Looks like a new grille ,and some interior nav updates
How long has this generation been around? Since 2005?
Expose your cracks and love will fill them.
From Kicking Tires:
http://blogs.cars.com/kickingtires/2...-at-17025.htmlWhen the 2013 Toyota Corolla goes on sale later this summer, it will start at $17,025, including a $795 destination fee. That's a $100 increase in the MSRP and a $35 increase in the destination fee.
The 2013 Toyota Corolla is available in L, S and LE trims. For the 2013 model year, all Corolla trims get a new front grille. The LE trim gets a chrome grille and a chrome-accented beltline. Photos of the updates won't be available until September, according to Toyota North American representatives. Both LE and S trims get a 6.1-inch touch-screen display with USB connectivity and Bluetooth streaming audio, standard. The S trim sees a $240 price increase, and the LE trim gets a $270 price increase.
The LE is available with two new packages, and the S with three new packages, including a Premium Complete Package, which comes with navigation and Toyota's new Entune multimedia system and automatic climate control. The North American 2013 Toyota Corolla is already in production in Japan (since July 9); Toyota will begin production at its two North American plants in early August.
Jeez another one?
19k for a corolla? lolz
Looks good. Nice to see Entune is available now.
They could fill the trunk with cow **** and still sell a ton of them.

They're adding chrome. Really?

What the hell? I though this was supposed to be the all new 2013 Corolla.

i've looked and couldn't find the correct red color any suggestions
i've looked and couldn't find the correct red color any suggestions
I believe AFFO$ uses Krylon Burgandy misted with grey. His buckets always look top notch.
sorry i meant gaunt color
afaik, there isn't a single "correct" color... everyone has different approaches.
i use rustoleum "claret wine" (it's in the painter's touch series i think). i spray a black base coat then put some thin layers of the wine over it until it's just a bit brighter than like it, then a bit of a black mist on top for good luck.
I used Krylon Burgundy Satin. I really liked the color I got from it.
i just ordered a bunch of colors from montana us (see the rattlecan thread from suspect86 i think). a couple of them are potential rotj gauntlet colors.
i'll make sure to post up how it comes out.
I also went with the Krylon Burg satin. Nice color after you dirty it up with a black mist. and it matches the helmet color. So being a girl, I liked that part. Its like accessorizing!
Montana Gold "Royal Red" misted with their shades of "sand" and "brown."

Techtalk - Saving your files to the Cloud
September 24, 2013 , 1:14 PM by Steve Martin
We hear a lot about the "Cloud" all the wonderful things it can do, but how can you use it and with which device?
This week in Techtalk George Fong explained the Cloud and how you can make your files work on all your devices, from desktops to tablets and phones.
George also delved into the current political stoush between the NBN Board and the new federal Government.

text: My husband and I recently had a wedding shower with his dad's side of the family and we told them that all we wanted was a washer and dryer. Obviously we didn't expect anyone to get us a washer or dryer but we did get a lot of cash, gift cards, etc. We are now looking into our choices and it is really overwhelming. It reminds me of trying to buy a television. Does anyone have any advice? I think I know I want a top loading washer as the front loading washers require you to wipe off the ring around the door and you have to leave the door open. I can't risk forgetting to do this (and I will) and having my entire washing machine smell like mildew. I don't know which brand is best but the ones I kept seeing are Whirlpool, LG, Samsung and GE. We currently have GE and will not be going with them again so it seems to come down to those other brands. I went to H.H. Gregg today and I think we will buy from them. They have free delivery and carry away, offer 5% discount if you finance with them (we can buy it outright but I could use it then pay it off and my credit score could be helped, too) and they are negotiable! They also have a 30 day price guarantee so I don't have to worry about just missing out on a big sale. I do need to ask about installation because the free delivery did not mention anything about that. Installation could be one of those surprise charges they hit you with to recoup their loss on the delivery. So, any advice? I basically need to know what brands you have had good experiences with and what brands have been nightmares? Any specific machines you want to brag about or warn me about? All advice is appreciated.

Tab Vault
Tab Vault is a place to store the tabs you want to get to later without leaving them in memory and on your tab bar. Click the extension button to open the vault.
WARNING: Please update to Opera 12.14 or later or a bug in Opera may delete all your saved tabs!
Tab Vault features:
- Reorder the list of tabs with drag and drop
- Create and rename groups of tabs
- Removed tabs are sent to Tab Vault's trash, so you can't accidentally delete them
- Import and export Opera session and bookmarks files
- Search the list with Ctrl+F
- Right-click tabs, tab groups, and the "Save Tab" button for more options
To group tabs, start dragging a tab and move the cursor to the right edge to activate grouping. Then, drop the tab on top of another tab. You do not need to do this to move tabs in and out of expanded tab groups.
Tab Vault is now available in many languages. If you are willing to help translate Tab Vault or improve the current translations, please see the support page. Thanks!
Known issues:
- Many of the translations are incomplete and will be partially in English as I could not contact the translators. Please contact me if you would like to help finish them.
- If you have "Allow scripts to detect context menu events" disabled, context menus will not work. To fix this, open Tab Vault's options page, right click the page background, and edit the site preferences. From the "Scripting" tab, enable "Allow scripts to detect context menu events".
- The "Copy tab URL" context menu item will not work at first due to Flash security restrictions. Check the options page for instructions on enabling it.
- Гэта пашырэнне можа змяняць або дадаваць функцыі аднаму або некалькім вэб-сайтам.

pls add choice several tabs for in move group
I wanted to say a big thank you to Spadija
for creating this superb extension.
It is very, very helpful, for me anyhow.
I love the Opera built in Session Manager and l'd be happy if it had more functions.
Tab Vault is a much more functional session manager.
And very beautiful too . . .
A suggestion : it'll be useful to be able to load a set of previously saved tab.
Example :
With Tab Vault, one could save a choice of opened tabs, being able to choose which tabs to save upon all opened tabs like selecting multiple tabs or the whole stack, and give a name to the Group.
Let say I call this one "Learning Tamil Language".
Then I can browse, and search with a search function, thru all my Groups and rapidly open any one I choose to, wether it'll be a whole stack, a single tab or a chosen number of tabs.
Ie :
Reopening "Learning Tamil Language".
It'd be practical to have it in the panel window (where bookmarks, notes, emails, history, etc . . , reside).
I'm no programmer, and have no idea about the level of difficulty and faiseability about what I suggest, so by advance forgive any dumb suggestions . . .
Nice complements to your extension are :
To Read Sites :
Groups :
Super! It works the way just I want it, especially like the trash bin there. Very useful!
Really nice one
I want to synchronize the list...
1. "easy backup"
First i wish an export option to create an bookmarks.adr file. Now i check the compatibility to win files: No, a win file isn't a good solution, my opera crashes with 484 tabs:-(
2. "power users"
Very Good tool, esp. with folders, but better with sub-folders! Please with unlimited levels/paths, esp. 10! I had to scroll in my Tab Vault, all folders closed.
3. "looking forward"/3.0
Have a look to Opera "start button" or Windows start menu since XP, make your tool in 2D: Not only folders in a 1D-list, make a 2D-grid like a desktop start menu or opera speeddial!
Thank you very much for developing this classy tool:-)
You must add 'stack' to the tags, or this ex. won't show up.
Also there should be possible to change the font via the ex. itself or through Opera, not just following the system fonts (it's too big for my pleasure).
I really wish this extension would be built-in in the Opera. So it would be better integrated, including things like automatically "saving to vault" after some period of inactivity, or if there are more more than X tabs recently used (kind of stack or LRU cache), with full session info saving (parent tab, stack, position, scroll position, history, text selection, informations in html forms, etc), and with auto-magic restoration, mass saving (like select multiple tabs or whole stack, and save it), integration into "Windows Panel", thumbnails (like in real tabs, etc).
It is almost perfect, but one of the most missing feature is lack of history restoration (So Back / Forward functionality works, as a tab wasn't closed at all), maybe HTML5 History API can help to save and restore them?
Nice interface however, good configurability, really polished everything. Thanks.
First thing to implement next would be "Save all tabs from this stack (in new group)".
Отличное расширение. Спасибо;)
I needed something like it. Thank you! :D

When I painted my custom aluminum collar and backplate, I also painted my chest armor. I did not take or attempt to share any progress pics, because the masking paint technique has been discussed in various other threads. What I would like to share is my armor attachment method and my final product.
The four chest pieces (right, left, ab & diamond) and the two shoulder bells were made by Durasteel back in the summer of 2002. They are made from 1/8" thick aluminum plate, and as I have stated in other posts, are great pieces of armor. Personally, I like aluminum armor over vac'ed plastic or sintra. It just feels more real. ;)
I decided to attach my armor plates with screws and nuts rather than velcro or the magnets I used on my backplate and collar. First I cut the heads off of #8-32 x 5/8" screws. I then drilled small indentations or pits in the back side of the armor in the corners. CAUTION: do not drill through the armor. Using JB Weld, I epoxied the screws into the drill indents. Once the epoxy had dried, I used the screws to locate the grommet holes in the vest. Then I installed the grommets at the screw locations.
Prior to attaching the screws, I used my plates as a template for sintra "washers" which will hold the plates close to the vest material. I drilled holes in the sintra washers at the screw locations, and secured everything together with small metal washers and nuts.
How did I do?

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Kayos and Havoc
You know I am an Army civilian and I move every 4 or 5 years. I have never left a pet behind yet.
I did have one breeder years ago refuse to sell me a puppy becasue of that. I went elsewhere and ended up with my Kayos who just turned 11 a few months ago.
The breeder I got her from told me military folks were some of the most dependable and she had never had an issue. If the breeder has right of first refusal or a return clause then this reason is bogus.
I think it is fantastic your daughter wants to be involved in dogs. If you can afford to make it happen that is great. If not, she needs to decide to like the GSD pup I think.
One way to make sure this is what your daughter wants is have her travel as an intern with a show handler to shows.. She will get up at dawn, get dressed in show clothes, get the dogs cleaned up, bathed, groomed, walked for potty, clean up ex pens, take dogs to the ring, hold dogs, get yelled at for not having said dog to ring in time, wait till after best in show, change out of show clothes into normal clothes, then clean up after dogs, walk dogs, feed dogs, crate dogs, clean ex pens, and the circle keeps going day after day. I worked with show handlers until I started showing myself. I took kids along with me to shows to "help" I have watched kids who wanted to show dog work with handlers and after the first group of shows, not being able to do anything but "dogs" decide pretty quick that maybe they don't want that responsibility. They have almost zero time to do anything else. Then I have seen kids, like my Grandson who turned into such a handler he qualified for Eukanuba when he was 12. He took Group placements with his own dog against adults. He was asked to show others dogs for owners and also handlers. He finished a lot of champions for other folks with different breeds.It was his "niche". But he also outgrew showing when it was time to own his own vehicle. He loves dogs, but doesn't show anymore.He started working full time at 17 after he graduated early and will now be going to the oil fields next month. He loved showing dogs, but not so much wanted the responsibility of showing, grooming, etc once he had his own truck.
As to the costs of finishing a champion in conformation? For a "normal" dog, not a "blow your socks off "kind of dog that comes along and finishes as a puppy, in most breeds, you are talking thousands and thousands of dollars. The average cost to finish a Champion Sheltie is close to $5000 or $6000 . Some breeds more, some less. Travel time, motel, food, entries all cost for each show. You can easily spend $400 or $500 on a weekend and not come away with any points towards a dogs championship. Showing in conformation is not a cheap sport, especially not anymore when entries can be anywhere from $30 -$50 per show. If you add Agility to that, after the dog is over a year old to compete, then there is double entries, etc. Junior competition used to be free with a regular entry, now most shows charge for that one also.
Find a handler, even the breeder of the puppy your daughter wants and get her to let your daughter go to shows with her. Make a true commitment that your daughter can't not go cause of wanting to do something with friends. Let her spend a day or two or three cleaning up after dogs, washing and blowing out coats, especially Sammys who DUMP hair everywhere. Let her deal with cranky dogs that are tired of being in their crates all day, let her clean crates with messy poop all over the dog and crate. If she can commit to those things on a daily basis, then maybe she is ready for a dog.
One thing is are you up for taking this dog when your daughter leaves the house? And does your daughter understand that she may have to leave the dog behind if she goes off to college etc.? I am saying that because I had to leave my dog when I moved out....I left it with my mother who a week later said do something with this dog now or it is getting killed.....so I had to scramble to find a place for her....my dad took her in and she lived with him for two years till she passed. I got her in 6th grade from the shelter....a cute black and white cocker. I had to move in with my brother and he had a dog aggressive chow so my dog could not come with me.

Good luck with everything! It seems like your daughter really knows what she wants!
Thank you for all of the comments, I guess I was in the wrong thinking it was not a fair decision on their part. I am less irritated now.
My daughter has been using trainers dogs and other students dogs for agility and she has been handling the trainers Samoyed in her handling class. She has gone to agility events and talked to the people who run Samoyeds, she has and will continue to go out with people who own them and play doing the things they do with them, scootering, sledding, agility, herding, I have made sure she knows what it takes to have one. I didn't think I would have to defend my parenting on this thread so I did not feel it pertinent to my original topic.
Thank you all for the concern for my daughter, I assure you I can handle raising her as I have handled it for the past 15 years. I have contacted the breeder that I want a puppy from and will be keeping in touch with her hoping that her bitch takes this time around and she gets a litter.

One thing though, I'm not sure a Samoyed is the best choice for agility, if you want to be competitive. Certainly they can do it though, but I'm not sure it's the ideal breed if you're hoping to be competitive.
OP, I do think perhaps the timing isn't right, and the breeder's concerns are reasonable IMO.
Whoever suggested getting your daughter in touch with a breeder in the area and perhaps seeing if they would be open to teaching your daughter how to handle/show one of their own dogs might be a great compromise! I bet she'd learn a lot!
I am running some Border Collies at flyball that I don't own. My GSD has some physical and behavioural limitations which makes flyball impossible for us, but I still have the opportunity to participate and have just as much fun with someone else's dogs and I've even managed to put some titles on the one.
For the number of people on this board that don't like people coming up with them and giving them some advice about their dogs, we have an awful lot of people who offer advice about parenting when this thread is NOT about parenting.
The OP is NOT asking about how to parent her child, but whether the breeder is in left field, and concerned about stuff that is none of her business. The question has been answered. She is not.
The kid wants a Samoyed. Has her heart set on it. Her mother has already contacted breeders! It think it would be downright crappy of a parent to act like she IS going to get the kid what she wants, and then, for no good reason, change her mind and tell her kid to get a job.
Just because when I grew up the only kind of dog we ever had was the kind behind a "Free Puppies" sign. Just because when I was a kid, I had to deliver newspapers in NE Ohio with snow up to my rear end without a pair of boots. Just because, when I was growing up half of everything I made went for room and board. Just because, when I was growing up if I did babysit on a week night, I had to take my little sister and brother with me, because I babysat them every weeknight from 5PM to 10PM -- after I made dinner in time for my parents to come home, eat and go to school. Just because that was MY life, doesn't mean I think every kid ought to grow up like that.
When I was 4, the first day of kindergarten, I would get out of school at lunch time, the others had to stay all day. So my mother gave me a map, and told me to follow it to the baby sitter's house who I had never met. In the middle of Cleveland. If someone did that today, they would probably have Children's Services called on them.
I was 5.5 years younger than my oldest brother. He carried a key around his neck and would let us in after school and watch us till my parents got home. He also got us out to school in the morning. He was 10. And when I was 11, I would deliver papers up to the babysitter's home, and then put my 3 month old sister into the paper bag, and with my 3 year old brother, deliver papers the rest of the way home.
That is MY experience. It doesn't bear on this thread. I could say, make your daughter babysit and deliver papers to buy a dog. That's silly. If a parent is not objecting to the idea, and is in a position to buy her kid a dog, than far better to take her through the experience of learning about the breed, finding a good breeder, and helping her to succeed.
There are hundreds of ways to teach children to be responsible. THIS IS NOT WHAT THE POOR LADY IS ASKING!!!
This is exactly like people walking up to you in petsmart and telling you, you need to use a gentle leader on your puppy or you will ruin it. Or coming up to you and telling you that you shouldn't have that wolf dog in public, and to never leave it alone with any kids.
Until teen lives on her own, pays her own bills, and has the extra cash to buy and care for a puppy, no need to talk her out of anything.
The word "No" comes in very handy with teens. Unfortunately I know a few that have never heard it...

Why is she insisting that it must be a Samoyed? What is her experience with them? I ask b/c I've known far too many people that fell in love with an image of the perfect dog, cat or parrot & rapidly fell totally out of love with the reality.
The breeder's concerns are legit. Good breeders not only take back dogs that don't work out, but place them to minimize the chances of that happening. But don't be discouraged. Simply look around & find a breeder you're simpatico with who will sell you a pup.
There are breeders that won't place dogs with people who have small children, live in apartments, don't have fenced yards, won't feed RAW & on&on. I once had a rescue decline to work with me b/c I've used decidely *strong* language on a particular board. Whether *I* agree with particular limitations or not is irrelevant. Breeders must decide for themselves what is of paramount importance when placing their pups. With a bit of work you'll find a breeder who's criteria are a better fit for yur situation & you'll both be more comfortable.
I agree with what everyone has said about it's the breeders right to feel uncomfortable and not sale and that it would teach your daughter some great lessons to at least have her pay some of the cost. But I don't think that anyone hit on the cost of grooming a dog with that much hair. IF you don't go to a groomer she will need to brush it completely out daily to avoid mats, which are painful for the dog. Brushing a dog like that daily is at minimum a 30 minute project too. And on top of the horrific grooming, she can't do a whole lot with a puppy.
They are a large dog and need to be carefully raised so as not to strain their joints, like a GSD. She can't expect a pup to run an agility course within the first 6 months or so that she has him. She will need to just focus on basic basic non physical things with him for a long time. If she is dead set on a Sammy and is ready to full out run agility, she should rescue an adolescent or adult. Find a Samoyed rescue...she can get a purebred one, save it's life and do agility with it. This is what I would do if I had a teenage daughter.

Billeaud: Romney a different type of Mormon
November 4, 2012
Although I have Mormon friends whom I love, it is obvious that many Mormons, like many Christians, follow the spirit but not the letter. Try to be a good person, yes. But Romney is different. He is a bishop, and comes from a polygamist, hard-core sect. So, what does he believe, as per the teachings of the Book of Mormon? 1. Women are servants 2. Dark skinned people are inferior 3. It is OK for Bishops to lie in furtherance of the progress of their church. 4. Their church supercedes their country 5. The United States is meant to eventually be under Mormon law and dominion 6. The end times will occur when the U.S. is ruled by a Mormon 7. Ultimately, the Planet Kolob has the final say in things. 8. "Good" people are rewarded with riches, and conversely, those who are not rich are not good people. There's more, if you doubt any of this, please just read the BOM for yourself, it's all in there, all true. Obviously, if you look at Romney's behavior, all these beliefs explain and match up exactly with his behavior, especially the "OK to lie" part. Totally serious and objective when I say this. Like so many people of all faiths have done in the past, he has rationalized in his own mind the words of his religion to justify doing whatever he feels is necessary to try to gain power. That's the truth, as ugly as it is, the truth.

These are very good to get a combination of both Potassium and Magnesium. It appears that when taking these the Blood Pressure, which recently increased, goes back to an acceptable level. If it is as simple as missing or not having enough Magnesium then this is a wonderful choice and option and considered, according to literature, relatively safe as the doses are less than what are the daily equivalent.

I have been taking Cellmins for RLS and it works awesome. Would recommend this for anyone with RLS (also take B-100 and Panthothenic Acid)I can fianlly sleep all night long. Legs do not jump all day or at night.
the magnesium miracle
Posted by alloriginal on Jul 15, 2013 | Verified Purchase
discovering the power of magnesium was, for me, a miracle. For decades I suffered from nearly-debilitating muscle cramps and headaches (those hours-long leg cramps at night--argh!). A friend suggested trying magnesium. I was skeptical, having already tried everything. It worked like a charm! I am now a hardcore magnesium enthusiast, and I recommend it to people on a regular basis. The muscle cramps and headaches are a thing of the past. I haven't been constipated in years, and my blood pressure and resting pulse rate are now those of a healthy teenager. Magnesium is involved in more bodily functions than can be listed here, including bone formation. 2 or three of these may be just what you need, as it was for me. Thank goodness for Iherb! I believe that nutritional supplements saved my life. I've tried a lot of products, and I know what works and what doesn't. My reviews are honest, straighforward, and based on my experience. Read my other reviews to quickly learn from my three decades of research and experimentation.
CellMins are the Right Prescription for My Leg Cramps

I have trouble with painful muscle cramps in my legs and feet that that attack me suddenly while I am sleeping. This mineral supplement has completely put a stop to my night cramps. I do careful research and work hard to find the most bioavailable supplements and I haven't been dissappointed in this product. It performs exactly as I had hoped.

I live in sub-tropical Florida. Everyone who lives in the tropics and even the sub-tropics know that the heat and humidity can drain your body's fluids more quickly than you can replenish them with water or even Gator Aid. After a day of trimming trees or fixing fences the cramps would be off the charts. Since I've been on a two/day regimen of Twinlab's CellMins Potassium & Magnesium no more cramps. My wife was so impressed with my results, she takes them as well. The painful nighttime leg cramps that would awaken her are GONE. This product works.

Sleep has been good and these do seem to have a calming effect when taking several caps. The only downside is the number of caps you have to take (4) to get to 400 mg but I suppose this has to do with the chelation method.

I am still not satisfied with the quality of the results from the digital format at this time.
If you have tried a digital printing photo kiosk briefly share your expereinces.
I have never really been happy with digital prints even from my 6 mega-pixel camera. They are convenient and family and friends like the snap shots, but for serious picture taking I still go back to film.
For general "snapshot" type of images it's great. I was quite surprised with the quality of 8x10's as well. As far as editing features, photoshop it ain't, but the learning curve is almost non-existent. Burning onto CD's just doesn't get any easier, just keep in mind that your editing changes will not be saved, at least on the machines that I've tried. The prints are waterproof too. Cool! Print quality is far better than any inkjet that I've tried. The bottom line: They are perfect for non-geeks who don't want to spend the time and money on quality apps like photoshop and dye-sub printers. It's all about convenience.

✓ September Canada Goose Seasons – bag limits are increased to 15 per day in most areas. Shooting hours are extended to ½ hour after sunset, and electronic calls and shotguns capable of holding more than 3 shells are also allowed during September, except on any Youth Hunt Days. These special measures are intended to increase hunter harvest of local‐nesting or "resident" Canada geese.

for the guys that will only hunt two or three times...it might be great.... for the guy who goes two days a week.....he will hit diminishing returns fast at 15 bird limits.
of course all those guys with no access to those sept birds, will sit by and watch the slaughter ha ha ha

text: I can´t believe what just happened, not 20 minutes ago a man called my father to tell him that they had kidnapped my sister and were going to kill her if he didn`t pay $20000, in the background he could hear a woman crying and beging for her life. My dad almost fainted right there, he started shouting and begging not to hurt her... thats when my husband and I (we all work together in the same clinic) listened to the commotion, so while my husband try to calm my father I tried to get in touch with my sister, is not easy cause she is in a little town in the Andes for one year doing her medical rural service that only has electricity and running water for a couple of hours a day, thank God she has a satellite phone. She answered, she was perfectly fine (she was cooking dinner) and had no idea what was going on. We are all shaking, we dont know what just happened, I think is a new theft mode, they were ready to accept what dad had in that very moment (no even close to $20000), they gave him a womans name and ask him to send the money through Western Union. We called the police, not that we expect them to find anything, and know we are worried, why they chose my dad? Did they know that my sister is not easily contacted? that she is away? I know my country is not the safest in the world but this is awful, I feel very unsafe at the moment.

Sweet keep them coming, i got all my stuff coming from cruzer to so these pics have got me super excited!!!
Can u tell me Zoltan Tyrell is your armor CC or actual metal? From the first pics that u posted it is hard to tell. If CC, how did u achieve this look? Looking forward to seeing it completed.
Looking really good. Most impressive as Darth Vader would say.
Looks nice stuff there!
Cruzer and Seekers leather stuff are cool!
Did Cruzer spraypaint your helmet? I be interested on how you fit your parts together on your flightsuit! Nice Work!!
Evening. Not much to add really as im still sorting the gauntlets. Ive still got stuff to do on them but ill post what stage they are at anyway.
Still waiting for the bits off bobamaker so until then its just the gaunts.
real awesome pieces you got there. I'm practically drooling at all your pics
Sweet keep them coming, these are really going to be helpfull when my cruzer armor arrives
Bit of an update. Finished weathering the lid.
Nice work! Looks like your Jango be done in no time this rate!
Very Very nice
Its that "where do i get a girth belt from" thing.
Thats a beautiful set of armor you've got going!
Only a small update here. Got the Flightsuit from Bobamaker and also the Jacket.
Managed to get a set of MR westars for a good price. These will serve me well for cirtain troops and use the Hyperfirm cruzer ones for others.
Started putting the armor on and ran out of snaps.
Oh and thanks Cruzer, got the gauntlets sorted.
Another little update. Got all but Jetpack and Girth belt laid out now.
When the rest arrive(including more snaps) I can build.
Nice work! Have you attached your armour to your flightsuit yet?
In regards to the armor/ vest attachment. If you CA glue your snaps on the back of your armor first. Put a little rub-n-buff on the snaps you can place the armor on the vest and see the little cirles where you need to puch the holes. I recommend wearing the vest, or at least put a pillow in it before you mark your vest for holes. The armor will sit different on the vest while wearing it than it does when it's flat. I did mine while I wore it, in a mirror.
Nick, looking very good buddy, that is a nice Jango set up. I guess you will be needing this very soon then buddy.
and this to hold it on
I have worked out the lower clip, which is removable if you don't want to use it.
The anchor points have been installed inside to mount the other side of the clips. I just need to give it a final black wash to soften any recessed areas, mount the greeblies and then cut the holes for the harness. Will be with you before the week is out
oooohhh yes! Fantastic work there. Love the weathering. The harness looks really professional.
The harness, all in black does have seem to have a harder edge than the Boba one, even though they share the same design principals.
Nick, can you give me your approx build/waist/girth I will then cut the straps to the appropriate length. PM if you don't want to post it and them jeans you have had for ages may be 32...........


text: Menshov: Olympis is the main motivation The Russian champion 2011 Menshov had a rather unseccessful last season, became 7th in the nationals, didn't make it to the team, which caused many to doubt he has any future. Many, but not himself - the 29y.o. is full of will to prove he is not yet done and is getting ready to the new season in Latvia. Andrey Simonenko interviewed Menshov for R-Sport AS: Guess a usual question for the off season: how is the mood? What are you working on and how does it go? KM: The mood is fine. Glad the weather is finally nice. It's not my first time in Latvia and I like it here. The work progresses. The new LP is almost ready. We have some small details to finish. All and all I like the new programme. I'm in a good shape, can do all the elements I did at the end of the last season. Usually it takes me a while to get back into the shape, but this year it's fine. AS: Any injuries? KM: A slight pain in the leg, but nothing major. AS: There are several changes in the rules for the next season. For instance the choreographed steps. Did you manage to figure what is it? KM: Not completely, we had just completed that step seq and sent the video to St. Petersburg so the specialists can watch it and give their remarks on whether we followed the rules or missed something. AS: But in general you understand what the change is and why? KM: The change was made so there would be more freedom and it'll look better. Most important that the steps would suit the music. The spins became harder as well, we are working on it now. AS: What about the jumps? KM: We are making them harder as well - I'll be performing two quads and two 3A in my LP. I used to include just one 3A. I'll be performing twice the same quad - 4T in a seq and a solo 4T. The jumps are good, I don't need to change anything AS: Your last season was far from good. Did you gain anything positive from it or was it just one long black strip? KM: The end of the season was ok-ish. The last two competitions were good: the Russia Cup final and Gardena Trophy in Italy. The rest... Well, the SP in NHK Trophy was desent. Otherwise I can't really recall anything possible about last season. AS: The situation with the team compatition in Japan was weird: you were Russia n.3 in the international standings : after Gachinski and Pluschenko, yet Bush and Kovtun were selected to participate, and, well.. didn't quite impress there. KM: Of course it was paiful not being included in the team. Especially at the beginning - it should had been my competition. But.. this is what the RFSF decided. What could I do. Sure, it was my fault as well - had I skated cleanly that season no one would had doubted me. I would be chosen. AS: I know you considered retiring during the last season. What made you change your mind? KM: After the Russian nationals in Saransk the coach (Rukavitsin) and I decided I'll take some time off and think. If I still feel I want to skate - I will. I took 2-3 weeks off and then wanted to go back skating. I just wanted to prove I can win something except for the Russian nationals, that I can do more. AS: What is the main motivation? KM: The Olympics. I want to participate them. And decently. This is my main goal. AS: You are considered an inconsisten skater. How are you working on that? There is a technique: recalling the competitions where you did well and the feeling you had back then. KM: You're right: this is exactly how I work now. I try to recall what I felt like when I skated well - when I went to the ice and it felt great. AS: Define great. KM: When you feel a bit relaxed and skate just for the fun. Then everything works out. That is exactly how I felt in the last competition in Italy. I skated both of my programmes completely clean. That's what I'll keep in mind. AS: Do you recall your LP in Europeans 2011? You had a great skate. KM: Frankly, not in so many details. I don't remember exactly how did I set myself to it. I recall the later competitions better. AS: During the career the athlete becomes more experienced and changes. How did you change? KM: After my failure in the Russian nationals I thought a lot. It's a bit hard to explain, but in short - I became more relaxed. AS: The near future plans is the training in Sweden? KM: Yes, we'll continue to Sweden from Latvia. We'll spend 2 weeks training there and then participate the test skates in Moscow. I will compete once or twice before the GP, but don't know yet in which competitions. It's being discussed now.

Well I'm from down in Venice, FL and this is my first time joining anything like this. I have a friend who does modeling and she peaked my interest in the prop and modeling world. My first armor set that I want to build or shamefully buy is a Sev Commando set.
I've never attempted anything like this and I felt that joining a forum board such as this would be beneficial in that I could ask for help with just about every step of the project.
This will also be a way to inspire me to drop a few pounds to actually fulfill the role and look of the character. Being 5'9", I'm a bit shorter than your average clone and at 225 lbs, more than a bit heavier than them too!!!

Hey guys im having an issue with my somewhat new SBE 2.
In the last 2 weeks i've had 2 double feeds from my gun. I'll shoot and the shell ejects and then the last two shells feed. One will be out in the lever and about a half inch from the other one would be poking out of the magazine as well keeping the first one from feeding.
Its happened with a clean gun and with a dirty gun. The last time it malfunctioned, I cleaned it I pulled the plug and mag spring to clean it as well.
Any other ideas of what might be the issue?
