Digital Mammography
Digital mammography is proven to be significantly more advanced than traditional film mammography in detecting breast cancer. Because of the denseness of some breast tissue, conventional film mammography typically identifies only 85 percent of existing tumors. Current research shows that the new digital system may enable doctors to identify more tumors earlier.
Why Choose Digital Mammography at Hallmark Health System?
Hallmark Health System is proud to offer women the latest in digital mammography technology in a personal, compassionate environment. We offer state-of-the-art GE technology for the clearest, most detailed digital images available today.

BCIS Reminds Eligible Hondurans and Nicaraguans to Re-register
For Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and Employment Authorization Document (EAD) Extension
WASHINGTON, D.C – The Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services (BCIS) today reminded those eligible Hondurans and Nicaraguans to immediately re-register for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) to maintain TPS and employment authorization for the 18-month period beginning on July 5, 2003 and ending on January 5, 2005.
BCIS Service Centers must physically receive all completed re-registration
applications for TPS by close of business on July 7, 2003. Therefore,
applications should be mailed well in advance of July 7, 2003. This
re-registration is necessary even though BCIS published a notice in the Federal
Register on May 5, 2003 to automatically extend the Employment Authorization
Document (EAD) validity period from July 5, 2003 to December 5, 2003. The
automatic EAD extension is designed only to prevent gaps in employment
authorization while re-registration applications are processed, but it does not
relieve TPS beneficiaries of the responsibility to timely re-register for TPS
On April 30, 2003 BCIS announced an 18-month extension of the designation of Honduras and Nicaragua for TPS until January 5, 2005. The TPS extension notice was published in the Federal Register on May 5, 2003. This extension of TPS covers an estimated 87,000 Hondurans and 6,000 Nicaraguans who have already applied for TPS.
To re-register for the extension until January 5, 2005, a TPS applicant must submit Form I-821 Application for Temporary Protected Status and Form I-765 (Application for Employment Authorization), as well as two identification photographs (1 1/2" x 1 1/2"). Both forms must be submitted for re-registration. If the applicant is only seeking to re-register for TPS and not seeking an EAD extension, there is no filing fee. However, all applicants seeking an extension of employment authorization until January 5, 2005 must submit a $120 filing fee with Form I-765 (Application for Employment Authorization). The applicant may request a fee waiver in accordance with the regulations. Applicants for an extension of TPS benefits do not need to submit new fingerprints and therefore do not need to submit a $50 fee for fingerprinting. Children beneficiaries of TPS who have reached the age of fourteen but were not previously fingerprinted must pay the $50 fingerprint fee with the application for extension.
TPS applications submitted without the required fee, signature, and photos will be rejected. Forms can be ordered from the toll free BCIS National Customer Service Center at 1-800-870-3676, or from the BCIS Web site, www.bcis.gov.
Registrants who have been granted TPS and who need to travel outside the United States before January 5, 2005, must receive advance parole from their local BCIS office or sub-office or a BCIS Service Center with jurisdiction over their place of residence, prior to departing the United States. Failure to do so may jeopardize their ability to return to the United States. Advance parole allows an individual to travel abroad and return to the United States. Advance parole is issued on a case-by-case basis. For further information, please call the National Customer Service Center at 1-800-375-5283 or visit the BCIS web site: www.bcis.gov.

PDB identification code
From Proteopedia
Every molecular model (atomic coordinate file) in the Protein Data Bank (PDB) has a unique accession or identification code. These codes are always 4 characters in length. The first character is a numeral in the range 1-9, while the last three characters can be either numerals (in the range 0-9) or letters.
Lower vs. Upper Case
PDB codes are often written in upper case. However, to avoid confusing zero (0) with the letter "O", lower case is helpful, for example 1o1o is clearer than 1O1O, and 2ou0 is clearer than 2OU0. (Also links to upper case codes in Proteopedia don't work! For example, 1O1O.) Depending on the font, number 1 can also be confused with capital "I" or lower case "L". So 1imo is clearer than 1IMO, but 1X9L is clearer than 1x9l.
PDB codes in Proteopedia
Every released entry in the PDB has an automatically-generated page in Proteopedia. To find it, simply enter the PDB code in the search slot found at the left of this (and every) page in Proteopedia. Proteopedia is updated once each week, shortly following the weekly new release cycle at the PDB. To link to a PDB code-titled page in Proteopedia, in the wikitext box, use double square brackets around the code. So for example, typing [[1vot]] when editing a Proteopedia article generates the link 1vot.
Examples of PDB Codes
- 1mbn - a 1973 model of myoglobin, the first protein structure solved.
- 1tna - a 1975 model of yeast phenylalanine transfer RNA, the first RNA structure solved.
- 1bna - the first full turn of a B-form DNA double helix solved by crystallography. Solved in 1980, this confirmed, 27 years later, the 1953 theoretical model of Watson & Crick. In the intervening years, methods were developed for macromolecular crystallography, and for producing short segments of DNA of defined sequences. More...
- 2hhd - human hemoglobin, deoxy.
- 9ins - insulin.
Newer PDB Codes are Sequential
For many years, depositors of models could request an available PDB code that represented an acronym for the molecule represented. All the above examples are such cases. With the increase in number of new entries each week, the PDB no longer permits this option. In recent years, all PDB codes are assigned by the PDB from the pool of available codes, in sequential ascending order, without reference to the name of the molecule.
PDB codes are permanently associated with a single structure
Once a PDB code is assigned to a given structure, it's forever, even in those cases when a structure is withdrawn (retired from the database), like 3luw, or superceded by a newer or corrected structure, like 1ace. If requesting a page for a superseded structure, like 1aak, Proteopedia will automatically display the newest structure 2aak. Look for the explanation in the 'About this Structure' section of each page.
Limited Number of PDB Codes
There are 419,904 possible 4-character PDB identification codes[1]. This could be increased to 466,560 if the numeral "0" is allowed as the first character, but so far there are no plans to do this[2], Thus, the ~107,000 entries in early 2015 have used up ~25% of the available codes. Someday a scheme that can accommodate more entries will be required, requiring revision of macromolecular visualization and modeling software programs that obtain data online, all of which, of necessity, currently require 4-character PDB codes.
See Also
- ↑ Ten numerals plus 26 letters = 36. The first character is 1-9. (9)(363) = 419,904.
- ↑ In April, 2013. according to Rachel Kramer Green of the RCSB in Rutgers, NJ, there are no plans to use PDB codes beginning with 0.

Texas State Parks To Celebrate National Get Outdoors Day
AUSTIN, Texas — Any time is a good time to head outside to hike, camp, backpack, picnic and enjoy other recreational pursuits, but Saturday, June 13, has been designated National Get Outdoors Day to encourage healthy, active outdoor fun.
As a part of the second annual GO Day, more than two dozen Texas state parks are joining federal agencies, nonprofit organizations and recreation industry leaders throughout the nation in hosting a variety of outdoor recreational activities and special events to mark the day.
On the outskirts of San Antonio, for example, Government Canyon State Natural Area is inviting the public to join volunteers for an 8 a.m. guided hike on one of the many canyonland trails. In addition, reservations are being accepted to attend a presentation by an expert in First Aid and CPR on how to hike safely in hot weather with your four-legged companion. "Hot Dogs-Tips on Summer Hiking With Your Pet" will be held from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Call (210) 688-9055, ext. 291 to reserve your spot.
Fishing takes center stage at Caddo Lake State Park in northeast Texas with an "Intro to Fishing" and the "4th Annual Kids Fishing Derby." Youngsters ages 3 to 15 will learn basic fishing skills and compete in various age divisions for awards for the most fish caught, and overall largest and smallest fish netted. For more information, call (903) 679-3351.
The entire family can get involved in National Get Outdoors Day at Blanco State Park in the Hill Country. Activities kick off at 9 a.m. and will include fishing with a ranger, trail hikes, paddling classes and assorted games. Contact the park at (830) 833-4333 for details.
In far west Texas, visitors can celebrate National GO Day at Franklin Mountains State Park in El Paso by joining park rangers on a guided evening hike to Aztec Caves from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Reservations must be made one day prior to the event by calling (915) 566-6441.
Other Texas Parks and Wildlife Department sites hosting events on June 13 to encourage Texans to get outdoors are: Barrington Living History Farm (Washington-on-the-Brazos State Historic Site), Bastrop State Park, Bonham State Park, Brazos Bend State Park, Caprock Canyons State Park, Daingerfield State Park, Dinosaur Valley State Park, Fanthorp Inn State Historic Site, Fort Richardson State Park & Historic Site, Goose Island State Park, Guadalupe River State Park, Huntsville State Park, Lake Arrowhead State Park, Lake Somerville State Park, Lake Texana State Park, Martin Dies Jr. State Park, McKinney Falls State Park, Palo Duro Canyon State Park, Purtis Creek State Park, Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center and Tyler State Park.
For more information about National GO Day happenings in Texas state parks, visit the Texas Parks and Wildlife Web site.
The USDA Forest Service and American Recreation Coalition launched National Get Outdoors Day on June 14, 2008 in an effort to connect Americans, especially children, with nature and active lifestyles. Last year, more than 50 official GO Day sites across the nation, from Anacostia Park in Washington, D. C. to San Bernadino National Forest, hosted events. The program goal is to create a healthy, fun day of outdoor adventure aimed at reaching first-time visitors to public lands and to reconnect children with nature.

The one that you do yourself?
Your question is puzzling.
What's the best Saiga 308 conversion? I have one that is unmodified and has a long barrel.
The one that you do yourself?
Your question is puzzling.
I like the tromix coversion,tromix buttstock,hk sights and flash hider,though i would go with a muzzlebrake instead.The hk flash hiders look cool but dont help much for muzzle control.
I love my Saiga 7.62x39 and I love my SSR-56-2 and my AMD-65, but if I must have a .308, it has to be a HK91. By the time you buy a Saiga .308 and do a conversion on it, it's going to cost almost as much as a decent HK91 clone.
A local GS up the road from me has a 22" Saiga .308 for sale for $400.00 Looks like you can do a lot after the initial cost of the rifle without breaking the bank.
Build your own conversion, it's easy if you can weld and fab.
go big, or stay home.

The GOP primary is a sham. Anyone can vote in the GOP primaries if they go to the poles and ask for the Republican ballot. Now think about it. Don't you suppose their are more than a few Democrats casting votes for Romney? It's stupid. I have lost all faith in our political system. The thought that we actually have a choice about the candidate selected is absurd.
I certainly support cutting across the board and I believe that is what Obama proposed the last time they met.
ey will NEVER compromise to raise taxes no matter how detrimental to the national security of the nation
Is that better for the USA than biting the tax bullet NOW and starting to pay down all this debt?

I attended recently and am in need of getting them replaced ASAP. I'm not in an area at the present where I could machine/fashion them myself from stock. I am wondering if anyone knows where I can procure/purchase a couple of these bolts. Thank you for your time and consideration.

I cut the openeing, but don't know what to use to make a tinted window? Any Ideas?
I simply used window tinting but you could use any sort of dark tinted acrylic or even a welding face-shield.
Personally if I couldn't use a lighted system I would simulate one.
Get some red flashy paper, probably find some at a party store. That pack-in stuff for gift bags etc. Then get black tint or black paper etc. Carefully draw and cut numerical-ish shapes into the black paper. Then put the flashy red behind it. It may not flash and change but if done right I imagine it would look pretty cool.
Was there ever a consensus on the size of the slots?
Going through the old threads I found two conflicting sets of numbers.
Slots that were claimed to fit Shackman's lights:
TOP: 2" x 1/4"
BOTTOM: 2" x 3/8"
And slots that were claimed to be MOM size:
TOP: 1 5/8" x 1/8"
BOTTOM: 1 5/8" x 1/4"
Since I too am just about to cut out the slots on my pretty dang close to accurate armor, I cut out little cardboard cutouts to put on top . . . in comparing what mine looks like to the pics on the ref CD, the MOM looks too small on the armor, and the Shackman sized slots look bang on to me.
It was "supposedly" some sort of red film,or plastic type of material.I used an old vintage transformer red plastic veiwing plate where you would look at the characters vital stats on those card that you would cut out of the back of the box,...it works,and looks perfect,and the plastic is thin enough to not distort any of the chest light characters.
I have a piece of tinted visor (thanks to a generous fellow member :D) and was wondering, is the tint flushed with the armor or recessed?
JB the way most people do it is cut out the bars on their armor then rear mount their visor display thing. Im lookin for a good pic still though.
Mount your tint from the back side of the chest armor...it's slightly recessed.
Here's a close up of the display from the Magic of Myth tour suit:
Once again TDH comes through. :-)
Thanks guys! :D
ONE MORE QUESTION, I have the green tint, but will red LED's show through as red or will they be green?
Don't red and green make blue? Dunno. I'd check first before you mount the tint. You want it dark enough so you can't see the display when it's turned off, but light enough that you can actually see it when it's turned on. I'm using smoked tint on mine.
I just shined my red laser pointer through my dark green tinted face shield. I expected it to look white, but guess what, it showed through as red. Maybe that's because of the high-intensity of the laser beam, don't know for sure. But I think you're in the clear :)
I used an extra peice of the dark green visor I had from my helmet and it looks perfect. Just ignore the fact the holes aren't big enough.
I used the the green visor plastic as well and the red lights shine thru great without any green tint at all.
This is an old display and I've since reprinted the letters to be spaced wider...

It's a strap on

About Me Casual/ Recreational
See all my reviews
I bought it for my mountain bike. I mostly ride trails and dirt/gravel roads, 10 to 50 miles each ride, as often as I can. I didn't see any better alternatives and I was impatient! As most handle bar mounts, it jiggles and like all strap-ons I've ever tried, it won't stay put. It seems like I'm always readjusting it. The only good place I can mount it is under the pad of my left hand, so of course it moves everytime my hand does. It works, wasn't hugely expensive, but I'll be shopping for a replacement.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Good accessory for biking tour
By jB
from illinois
I bought this mirror for a biking tour vacation in Spain. It was useful as the provided hybrid bikes did not have mirrors. The Velcro attachment was convienent for this application. Stability and mirror size were acceptable.
Good, cheap mirror
By Bike Dad
from Arlington, VA
This is the second one of these mirrors I have bought. The first is still on my bike after two years. I use it every day. This second one I bought for my daughter as she commutes to school. Cheap, easy to install - and I don't have to care what happens to it. If it gets stolen or broken, I will just buy another! No, it is not the best mirror in the world, but it is cheap and well worth the cost.

Great addition for a safer ride
By Michele
from Columbus, Ohio
Saw some bad reviews on this, but purchased it anyway, expecting to be a little disappointed. Not at all the case. Although I'm not an extreme cyclist, I think it's perfect for adding a bit of safety to a road ride. The mirror is a tiny bit small, but it does the job- if it were bigger it would probably look silly. It was super simple to velcro on, no fuss, no muss. Strap that bad boy on and roll. Don't see what all the negativity is about, but for an inexpensive little diddly, I feel it's perfect. The roads I ride are a bit rough but it held position like a boss and worked just fine. 'Nuff said.
Actually a Fine Product
By Jonn Jonzz

I wanted a mirror for my 29" commuter that doubles as a trail bike. I hesitated to buy this mirror based on a negative review, but upon arrival and installation/attachment it turned out to be just great. Pulling this mirror on and off for transit is very straightforward.

TERRIBLE product
By ucsdsoccer
from San Diego, Ca
I bought this mirror to use on a beach cruiser and a mountain bike. I figured it would be useful while biking with the girlfriend, allowing me to monitor her position.The first thing you will notice is that it DOESN'T fit your bike grips. It's designed to mount at the end of your handlebars, over your grips. The mounting sheath is too small to fit over any of my mountain bike grips and my beach cruiser grips as well. I'm not sure what grips this would actually fit over, it's that small. You can bend the plastic and get it to kind of stay with the velcro - unless you hit any bumps or dips. I don't understand how the makers of this product did not test it first or think about the size of the bracket that will have to fit over the grips.Well, I went down the driveway and the 1" drop off from the driveway to the street made the mirror pop out of the frame and shattered. Absolutely worthless product.

a communist/socialsist police state is now 'liberal" -- yet those that support the constitution are now "right wing lonies, nazis, racist and gun-nuts."

By Rob Kelly
Thomas Eisfeld believes he has made major improvements to his game during his eight months at the Club.
The German midfielder completed a January transfer deadline-day move to Emirates Stadium from Borussia Dortmund, and has made a big impression so far.
The 19-year-old scored twice on the pre-season tour to the Far East, and hopes his progress will soon earn him a chance in the first team.
"I've always scored a lot of goals and made a lot of assists," Eisfeld told the Official Arsenal Magazine. "I think that is important in my position to be able to do that.
"My favourite position is the No 10 role, so attacking midfield. I don't mind the wings either. But I don't think playing as a central striker is really my position because I'm not the strongest physically.
"Since I've been at Arsenal I've learnt how to play the ball quicker and to pass and move with more effectiveness. I have become stronger too.
"Pre-season was really nice and gave me real a confidence boost. I was confident going into it because I know what I am capable of, but I certainly didn't expect to score two goals. I'm really happy with how it went."

birch bark back quiver
I made this quiver out of a piece of birch bark ,glued and lashed with hemp. A thick leather strap with a steel adjustable buckle, handmade strap as well. Leather trims, leather design and stone arrowhead. Sheep fur arrow quieter at the top, triple thick leather bottom, your arrows won't hurt it.
It is 21 inches long and can hold more than a dozen arrows.
US$150 + US$12 to ship in north america.
I have been making birch bark quivers for 5 years and sold them around the world: www.barkworks.ca
It remains a long labor of love to build these unique quivers.

Can human genes be patented? Wayne Law professor can explain Supreme Court case
If a company spends millions on research, and discovers it can isolate specific human genes linked with a disease, can the company then patent the genes and the research and treatments that result from its discovery?
Of course, the issues surrounding Association for Molecular Pathology v. Myriad Genetics, which is before the U.S. Supreme Court now, are more complicated than that. But in simplest form, they boil down to whether human genes can be patented.
Wayne State University Law School Associate Professor Lance Gable, a public health attorney who specializes in bioethics, is available to comment on the case and the issues and help reporters make sense of them. He's been on Wayne Law's faculty since 2006, and also is a scholar with the Centers for Law and the Public's Health: A Collaborative at Georgetown and Johns Hopkins Universities, which is affiliated with the World Health Organization and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Association for Molecular Pathology v. Myriad Genetics raises legal and ethical questions about whether the isolated genes in question — BRACA 1 and BRACA2 — are "products of nature" that can't be patented, as the parties challenging Myriad maintain, or "the final step in an extraordinarily complicated set of inventive actions that led to the creation" of a molecule previously unknown, according to the lawyer for Myriad Genetics of Utah, which holds the patent being challenged by the lawsuit.
The genes in question are used to test for susceptibility to hereditary ovarian and breast cancer. Myriad has held the patent for 15 years. The challenging parties say the company has made the test for the genetic mutation too expensive for some women. The test costs about $3,350. The cost, the challengers maintain, makes the company's monopoly testing out of reach for women without insurance, and the patent on the genetic "products of nature" keeps scientists outside of Myriad from doing important research to help patients.
The company says patents have been granted for all sorts of genetic products, and that the price of the test for the specific genes that signal cancer susceptibility represents the millions of dollars Myriad spent on its research. And, Myriad has said, thousands of scientists outside of the company have published papers on the two genes, so research hasn't been stymied.
To contact Gable for comments about the issues, call Carol Baldwin, Wayne Law director of communications and marketing, at 313-577-4629 or send email to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Reviews for Margarita Chicken
"I tried to make it without the margarita mix."
"I accidentally bought the alcoholic margarita mix, and the chicken came out a little dry. Gave it five stars any way because that was my mistake."
"I loved this but my family thought it was too sweet. Next time I will make it just for myself!"
"Great flavor! Tasted great and kids are it too!"
"very tasty and refreshing. would make it again but for company this time!!Gail Borczyk Field Editor"
"I have mae this several times. I have even made it with a whole turkey. Delish !!!!!"
"This was amazing. My husband said it was the best margarita chicken he ever had."
"These were AMAZING. So delicious. I want some more right now!~ Theresa"
"This was a great recipe. Although I never make a recipe exactly as it reads. To this one I added fresh cilantro and chopped jalapeno to the marinade. I had to increase the temperature on my grill slightly to get that great char. The chcken was moist and my husband just loved the flavor!! Served it with a tomato, avacado and cucumber salad. Will definitely be making this again."

Arsène Wenger will do his transfer business "sooner rather than later" but he will not discuss specific targets.
The Arsenal manager has already brought in Carl Jenkinson and Gervinho this summer and he has been linked with moves for Valencia playmaker Juan Mata and Everton defender Phil Jagielka.
Wenger was pressed on his transfer plans when he faced the media ahead of this weekend's Emirates Cup but the Frenchman would not divulge any details.
"Our business will be done sooner rather than later but it is difficult to speak about any individual player because that makes things difficult," said Wenger. "I cannot complain about other clubs talking about our players and then do the same.
"I like the player [Mata], but that does not mean we will buy him. The other player [Jagielka] is under contract at Everton. If we want to buy a player, we need first the agreement of their club.
"At the moment the rules are constructed in a way where it is basically forbidden to speak about one individual player. I know that not everybody respects it, but I try to do as well as I can."
The transfer window does not close until August 31 but, as Wenger explained, market movement depends on more than just Arsenal.
"At the moment you have two categories of movement, one from zero to 10 million, and one from 30 to 50 million. We are in between," he said.
"In between nothing happens at the moment, there has been very little movement. All over Europe our industry is basically in a very bad financial situation. All the clubs who live from the money which football generates do not buy.
"The only clubs who buy at the moment in Europe are ones who buy with money which is not generated by our industry. There are two categories of club - those who travel with sweat and those who travel with petrol. We are those who travel with sweat."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Keeping those services running is absolutely critical.
AD disasters can happen, and that dreaded day can arrive if you're lacking protection in key areas.
While built-in features will keep AD running after some kinds of failures, there are others from which it cannot bounce back.
Neglecting AD failures, or the protections that prevent them, could result in that dreaded day - the day where your entire business grinds to a halt because of some unforeseen AD disaster.

Before the start of this fellowship, I was contemplating whether I wanted to go into medicine, research, or both. Upon talking to many mentors, I was leaning towards going into practicing medicine, but finding a way to also stay involved with research. However, although I have had a passion and interest in both for quite a while now, I wanted to experience more before I made the decision.
After the first several weeks of the fellowship under Dr. Peterson, I loved lab bench-work so much that I doubted my choice of being pre-med. It wasn't that I loved medicine or the idea of helping patients any less; it was just that research was too much fun.
I could see myself doing this for the rest of my life. I know that research isn't all wet lab and bench work. I know that there is a lot of writing grants and going to conferences and reviewing others' work. It doesn't matter. Research is just so amazing. Any time something finally works in lab, you get this sort of adrenaline rush. A mentor once told me that he never gambled because research was enough of an adrenaline rush for him; I completely believe him.
Then, Dr. Peterson gave me the opportunity of shadowing him in clinic in the rheumatology department. He also gave me the opportunity to help with patient recruitment for the project I am involved with. I don't know what exactly was so moving to me. Maybe it was the amazing staff and faculty that worked there. Maybe it was the physicians' relationship with the patients that I witnessed. Maybe it was the entire environment of the clinic. Most likely, it was the combination of all of these things. Whatever it was, it confirmed my desire to practice medicine. I want to work to be able to play a vital role in patients' lives as a physician.
My conclusion right now is this: Dr. Peterson's job is a dream job.
I cannot believe how powerfully medicine and research attracts me. Dr. Peterson's job of working as a physician in a clinic, while running a research lab sounds like an absolute dream job. I know that the path won't be an easy one, especially when I am a female with the desire to build a family in the future. However, this fellowship so far has made me reaffirm my passions and made me more determined to work for everything that I want to do.

text: Just got back the other day from huntin down south near Lincoln. I spent the first two days by myself working a relatively small area. It was wasn't getting a lot of pressure and there were signs of deer everywhere, beds, tracks, droppings. I spooked a couple midday of the opener in some thick cover and couldn't get a clear view. The second day I saw a lone doe just before sunset. That night by budy gets there and we head out the next morning to my original spot. We walked a mile or so from where weparked the tuck when we spotted a good size buck, grazing by himself at the far end of a clearing. My buddy made a great stalk to within 60 or 70 yds. He made what looked like a great shot, saw the deer stumble and bolt into the nearby trees. We gave him 15 vmins or so and started looking for blood. Couldn't find any blood but did see some stumble marks. We tracked em and found him 40 yds away. It was a perfect shot but the bullet didn't exit. Here's some pics. Hope you all enjoy em. It was great hunt and a beautiful animal.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Thanks guys
Once again you've put my mind at rest
|To tell you the truth before I started using the epoxy over the bare steel, I have used the etch primer on quite a few cars. Now I can see the benifits of using the epoxy versus the etch. But does that now mean I will have to restrip and repaint all those cars I did not use epoxy on..............no not by a long shot. The etch will work as a lot of guys still do it that way. The cars I have used it on myself still look fine and do not have any issues with, and this is years (some as much as ten) later. I just started a new project that was in primer when it came in, the problem is when it left the last bodyshop, 7 or 8 years ago it has developed a lot of rust coming through the primer. So it must be all taken down and started fresh as I WILL not go over all that rust. And stripping this car some of it was etch primed and some just a 2K. And even with a good paint stripper the etch primer is very hard to get off.
Bodyshop Seem Dead-set on Using Etch Primer
I went to see the guys at the bodyshop today to see how the work on my car is progressing
I've got to say, these guys are some kind of wizards!!
Seriously talented wizards!!
I'm so happy with the work they're doing....and I'm so thankful that people on here talked me out of doing this one myself
Now, as happy as I am, we've hit our first stumbling block this morning
Whilst talking me through what they're doing next they mentioned they were going to etch prime the car
I told them I didn't want it etch priming and that I'd prefer it to be epoxy primed
(My decision is based purely on this forum, my knowledge if paints is very limited to say the least)
I asked them why they wanted to use etch instead of epoxy, and whilst they did give me an answer, my limited knowledge has meant I've forgotten what they told me earlier
They mentioned something about paint being pourus, and that if any water is aloud to become trapped it can cause micro blisters
I think they said the etch primer allows the paint to breathe
(I don't know if I misenturpereted this though)
We also spoke about anti stone-chip paint. They said they would etch the underside of the car, then apply the stone-chip, followed by two costs of high-build primer and two or three coats of single stage paint
Whilst I hate the look of stone-chip paint, I understands it's benefits
So, what I'd like to know is.....
Are their reasons to use etch sensible ones, or should I tell them to use epoxy
And what can I ask them to do about the stone-chip appearance?
ie: Can it be flattened down?

text: Ladies Asada deserves this honour. Kim already has it. Kostner deserves an Olympic medal for her improvements and excellence in this quad. I don't want either Wagner or Suzuki to medal at Sochi because that would probably mean one or more of the big three faltered bad. Suzuki deserves to happily retire as a world champ, like Yuka Sato. Men Chan is the best skater this quad. Takahashi taking silver is also a step up from Vancouver and will then have 2 Olympic medals. Joubert, Abbott and Verner will be majorly vindicated by placing well at Sochi and both Abbott and Verner would continue to skate well at Worlds before they retire. Pairs The only thing missing from S&S is the OGM. V&T can wait four years. And how amazing would it be if P&T still medalled at Sochi? Dance It's just the same as Asada / Kim. Team event This way V&M still gets a OGM, Wagner and Abbott get Olympic medals, and Joubert also gets his Olympic medal. This overall scenario can make a lot of people happy [and not altogether totally unlikely].

In an analyst event on Apr. 22nd in London, Symantec outlined their new Partner Management concept – increased focus on a decreased number of partners.
Channel partners are the lifeblood to Symantec's sales and already contribute ~85% of the business in EMEA - which is expected to increase. This is split into segments; Small Business, which Symantec simply classifies by deal sizes below $5k, Commercial Business, which is above that threshold, and Enterprise Business with named accounts. To better execute on this segmentation Symantec has introduced a new dedicated SB (Small Business) organization and the cross-segment role of Business Development Managers to their ranks.
· The Plan Is To Focus More On Fewer Partners

Hello all
I am Jason. I have been working on some Star Wars projects for the past few months, mainly a Shadow Scout trooper. I have been around building costumes for a while. I have done a Iron Man Mark 4, Joker, Link, and Rinzler. I am also working on a Aquaman from Injustice.
I have looked at building a Boba Fett for a few years, but as of late, I am getting really excited. Maybe its because I am so close to finishing my other Star Wars projects... Not sure.
Well anyways I hope to learn a lot and come to realize what I am getting into

It was another typical day in Iraq, the sun was shining and Apache attack helicopters were making their rounds checking on suspicious activities in the countryside. They spotted some men who they thought were planting roadside bombs, but before they could fire on them in the open fields, the men fled to nearby houses. The Apache helicopters opened fire blasting away at the houses. After the firing ceased, five of the men they thought were the roadside bombers lay dead along with six civilians while another five civilians were wounded. A spokesperson for the military said it was unclear exactly who the roadside bombers were, but it is believed they were among the dead. She expressed regret for the death of innocent civilians, but blamed their demise on the roadside bombers.
As far as the story goes, the bombers never exploded their bombs so it is clear they were not responsible for the deaths of civilians. If five men ran into houses containing other men it is unclear how the military can determine which of the dead men were the bombers and which were not. This "minor incident" happens each day in Iraq and at the end of the day more civilians are dead and more Iraqis hate Americans. The American military offered no explanation why the helicopters could not have pinned down the bombers in the houses and called for ground forces to attempt obtaining a surrender. One last question: Are the helicopter pilots absolutely certain these men were planting explosives?

I read a post here concerning the Skull Decal Fett has on his Armor.
I know a very logical way to solve this.
I dont know if this image is an exact replica of the one on his shoulder. Or from what film but the poster seemed to indicate that it was an archived prop image of the official Mandelorian symbol used on the shoulder pad. It looks alot like the Jedi version. At any rate...
*Update* I forgot to flip the image around. You must flip any image around because the ink is printed on the top of the Transparency cell. That way when it placed over something it right side up.
Link remains the same image is changed...
*Update* made a red decal to go with Empire version... Here you go..
Lil John: Yeah!! Yeah!!! Yeah!!!!-
Yoda: You tell em Lil John
Lil John: What?!?!?
Yoda: I said you tell em...
Lil John: What?!?!?
Yoda: You tell em!!!!
Lil John: OK!
*Update if you want to do this trick you have to make the background in the image white. R-0'G-0'B-0 white.... Your printer will not print this value so it will essentially be missing on the cell...
Sorry for the 3 additions to this post.
I happen to like this trick allot.
You can put images on your car doing this and do the same to masks, silicones, so on and so on. It's a neat little trick. The ink takes a long, long time to dry on plastic surfaces. It will never dry up on the transparency cell. So you always need to seal it off and if its not opauge enough then you just seal it in CC and then you just color over the faint colors with theyre same value in acrillic paints. EZ PEZ E.
That's why you should always reduce your image to a gif file consisting of 256 color drop. That way you know what all colors you need to buy as paints.
Also again can't stress it cause I forgot it. Reverse the image before printing it. So it comes out right side up..
????**Also why was this message deleted**????
It's a hell of a trick!!! Let these good folks knowledge up. If it was moved and not deleted then man... Am I paranoid... If it was deleted and is gonna be deleted again. Can I get a private message as to why??? Mmmmmm.... (OK it was moved damn I'm one paranoid cat!) Newbee Effect, but I do know Tyler and bounty so. atleast I got some street cread...
So I took the picture the person had of the possible real decal and I used Paint Shop Pro to optimize and correct it.
I would have added this "How To Decal Guide" in that Thread. The only problem is I cant, because I cant find it... So Thanks too the guy for the image of the Skull.
Heres the low down on how to do this decal trick.
One save this image as a GIF file. No need to save as a JPEG or BMP. As it's already optimized as a GIF file.
Go to a hobby store and find metallic paints or marker colors that match the colors of tiles shown in the image. If you cant get metallic paints then just try to match the color. Theres a trick to making your own metal paint futher down. Also you can use Paint Shop Pro's dropper to find the RGB levels of each color used in the pattern to help aid in finding or making the correct colored paints. Also buy a small can of Crystal Clear spray paint
Here hoping that you have a fairly good ink or laser jet printer. If you do the read on...
Go out to your nearest Office Depot, or Staples and ask for A package of "Overhead Transparency Sheets." These are the same sheets used to place messages on wall in schools in science class using that light projector thing.
Now using regular paper as your guide adjust the printing size settings of this image until you have it correct. Once this is done your ready to party!
Put a piece of the transparency paper into the printer and print this image out. As soon as it's done run as quickly as you can to your armor. Now gently place the symbol over the area and rub it on. Remove the transparency sheet and ta da!!! Theres the Mandelorian image staring right back at you as perfect as the image used.
If you painted the white off white rectangled on your shoulder the image will appear to be very vivid and sharp over that area. It may be slightly faint over the yellow areas of the armor- White backgrounds make this decal method the most opauge. Now spray down a light coat of Crystal Clear over it and allow it to dry. Once this is done all you have to do is take out your paints and match the colors. Mixing the paint with metallic silver colored magic markers will help you to get the metal effects in greens and browns that are hard to find as metallic colors.
I worked real hard on making this a nice clean, crisp, sharp clear pic. I lost the original thread this was posted in, but here you go. You can also do this with the decals on the helmet and so forth. If you do Friday the 13th masks this is a great way to make the arrows perfect every time.

Ok, I'll admit this may seem ramdom but with this new area for this I figured you can't hurt to ask.
I have been asked to make a Jawa costume, I know the soft parts will not be an issue for me.
But how do the eyes get done, or should I say how should I do the eyes?
I know they seem really low as opposed to where I think eyes would set normally.
Any ideas or has anyone tackled this before?
Thanks for any help or ideas.

Notification procedures:
An individual can determine if this system contains a record about him/her by writing to the system manager(s) at the above address and providing his/her name, SSN or other information that may be in the system of records that will identify him/her. An individual requesting notification of records in person should provide the same information, as well as provide an identity document, preferably with a photograph, such as a driver's license or some other means of identification. If an individual does not have any identification documents sufficient to establish his/her identity, the individual must certify in writing that he/she is the person claimed to be and that he/she understands that the knowing and willful request for, or acquisition of, a record pertaining to another individual under false pretenses is a criminal offense.

If it is determined that the identifying information provided by telephone is insufficient, the individual will be required to submit a request in writing or in person. If an individual is requesting information by telephone on behalf of another individual, the subject individual must be connected with SSA and the requesting individual in the same phone call. SSA will establish the subject individual's identity (his/her name, SSN, address, date of birth and place of birth, along with one other piece of information, such as mother's maiden name) and ask for his/her consent in providing information to the requesting individual.
If a request for notification is submitted by mail, an individual must include a notarized statement to SSA to verify his/her identity or must certify in the request that he/she is the person claimed to be and that he/she understands that the knowing and willful request for, or acquisition of, a record pertaining to another individual under false pretenses is a criminal offense. These procedures are in accordance with SSA Regulations (20 CFR 401.40(c)).
Record access procedures:
Same as Notification procedures. Requesters should also reasonably specify the record contents being sought. These procedures are in accordance with SSA Regulations (20 CFR 401.40(c)).
Contesting record procedures:
Same as Notification procedures. Also, requesters should reasonably identify the record, specify the information they are contesting and the corrective action sought, and the reasons for the correction, with supporting justification showing how the record is incomplete, untimely, inaccurate or irrelevant. These procedures are in accordance with SSA Regulations (20 CFR 401.65(a)).
Record source categories:
Information in this system of records is (1) supplied directly by the individual; or (2) derived from information supplied by the individual; or (3) supplied by SSA officials.

Classic Southern recipes are featured in The Help, both the movie and the novel, and are as much a part of the action as Aibileen, Minny, Skeeter, and Hilly. Here are a few of the featured foods. See an interview with the author.
Fried ChickenMister Johnny loved Minny's fried chicken and so do we, even if she did spill the South's greatest fried chicken secret: Soak the chicken in buttermilk for at least two viewings of daytime tv, preferably As The World Turns. Once your programs are over, fry up the chicken and save some in the fridge for later; the best fried chicken is just as delicious cold as it is piping hot.
Buttermilk BiscuitsMaybe if Celia had taken Minny up on her offer to make biscuits before the League Benefit, things would've gone a little smoother. As it is, we won't pass up a chance to indulge in the South's signature bread. Sorry cornbread, these fluffy buttermilk biscuits have the top spot on our dance card.
Chocolate Icebox PieLaw mercy. Even Minny's Terrible Awful Thing couldn't keep us from trying this ultra-decadent pie made with homemade chocolate filling. It's topped with whipped cream and chopped chocolate candy bar pieces; what more could you ask for?
Southern-Style Collard GreensNothing welcomes a family to the table like slow-cooked collard greens. Loaded with rich bacon flavor, this is one green vegetable that will have the whole family asking for seconds. Serve with cornbread and call it a one-dish meal tonight.
Spicy Southwestern Deviled EggsWon't Hilly be surprised when her bridge club favorite—deviled eggs—packs an extra punch. Adding cumin and pickled jalapenos ups the ante on the standard appetizer's heat, giving it a signature flavor that's sure to satisfy. We think Abileen would approve.
Creamy Grits CasseroleCelia never met a pork chop she couldn't burn, but she could do up grits like the queen of Sugar Ditch. If grits are a regular on your breakfast or brunch menu, try this decadent twist: Grits Casserole. Flavored with Gouda, Cheddar, and a dash of red pepper, these grits are no sides dish—they're the star of the show. As Abilene says, "That's all grits is, a vehicle. For whatever it is you rather be eating." Melty cheese, anyone?
Old-Fashioned Caramel Layer CakeNot sure if this can beat Minny's caramel cake, but it may be a close second. The key really is making the caramel icing. Take Minny's advice and pay attention while you boil the brown sugar mixture; the gossip can wait, but this icing won't. Our advice? Don't become too good at making this cake or, like Minny, you'll be called upon to make ten for every League Benefit that comes along.
Double-Crust Chicken Pot PieIf you close your eyes and wish really hard, Minny might just show up at your bedside with a heapin' helping of this flaky, delicious chicken pot pie. Celia may have turned her nose up, but anyone else would dive right in.
Cornbread DressingThe secret is out. Abileen makes her cornbread dressing, a Thanksgiving staple, ahead of time to let them stale on the counter so that her finished dish has the appropriate crunch. We'd love to blow Abileen's mind with this version of cornbread dressing, which starts with cooked cornbread and cooks in a slow cooker, leaving your hands free for other labor-intensive Thanksgiving dishes and maybe even a little iced tea stirring.
Curried Chicken Tea SandwichesEveryone knows that chicken salad is best when made the night before so that the flavors can meld together, so when Elizabeth asks Abileen if she's got the salad ready 20 minutes before bridge club, it's a wonder Abileen doesn't faint on the spot. Next time, she should try this chicken salad recipe; the hit of curry will serve as smelling salts, should the need arise again.
Hamburger Steak With GravyThe next time Mae Mobley wanders into the backyard looking for lunchtime company, save her from that hamburger-stealing old bird dog and make her a mid-day feast to bait her back into the kitchen instead. This hamburger steak is too good to wander away from and, topped with Sweet Onion-Mushroom Gravy, it's worth a few minutes in the high chair.
Bridesmaid Baby CakesDeena—famous with Hilly for her petit fours—should consider adding these (almost) too-cute-to-eat cakes to her dessert portfolio. They're worthy of serving as centerpieces for a Junior League-style event.
Green Beans and Red PotatoesMinny started Celia easy with beans, and, in doing so, nailed the key ingredient of Southern sides on the head: Ham hocks. Cook them with beans, collards, or just about anything else to infuse flavor and make the most of that bone-in ham you picked up at the market.
Smoky "Pimiento" Cheese SandwichesYou are not Southern until you experience neon orange cheese sandwiches. Pimiento cheese, typically made from red bell peppers, gets a makeover in this smoky recipe which features sun-dried tomatoes and two types of cheese. It's hearty, delicious, and, well, a shade of sunset orange that will melt any churchgoing lady's casserole-toting heart.
Southern Sweet TeaIn the South, the way a person handles a beverage can be telling. Stirring the sugar into the tea a little too long? We're deep in thought. Tinkling the ice around in the glass? We may not like your outfit. Holding the ice-cold glass of tea against our wrist? We're just plain hot! Cool off with a tall glass of the South's signature drink.
Bacon-Olive Party SandwichesHosting bridge club or simply looking for an easy pre-benefit appetizer? Serve crowd-pleasing tea sandwiches loaded with a savory bacon-and-olive spread. The spread takes minutes to make and lasts up to three days, so if the August heat moves your book club a time or two, it'll keep just fine. We can't make the same promise for your hairdo.
Chicken Salad With Grapes and PecansWho cares if you can't tell a Joker from a Spade? Every lady worth her white gloves knows that bridge club day is all about the gossip. Make a batch of chicken salad to serve your friends during a mid-afternoon gathering. Make having lunch in the new dinner out.
Fried Pork Chops with Cream GravyMister Johnny soothed Minny's nerves by complimenting her cooking, particularly her pork chops. We'll say one thing about Mister Johnny—he knows his way to a Southern cook's heart! We'll make pork chops for him any day.
Lucky Black-eyed Pea SaladConstantine used to make Skeeter's family black-eyed peas every New Year's Day, and even made each family member eat one in front of her, just to ensure good luck would find its way to the once-plantation. Don't wait for New Year's to make this delicious side dish; like the heroines of The Help, we all know we could use a little luck year-round.
Home-Style ButterbeansMinny almost gave up when Celia couldn't step in the kitchen without burning the beans, but she kept on and made her point: If you can master butterbeans (a simple, but crucial Southern recipe), then you'll be ready for anything. A little seasoning, a lot of time, and, of course, a few slices of bacon and you're ready to eat.
Honey-Bourbon Glazed HamWhether it's fried in a skillet, layered on a biscuit, or served up in slices for a holiday feast, ham is a signature staple for family dinners in the South. It's passed to babies in high chairs, served hot for dinners, offered cold on sandwiches, and even makes a guest appearance in vegetable dishes. And, second to casseroles, they're the only logical delivery for an invalid mama, new baby, or welcome wagon.
Chocolate-Bourbon Pecan PieBourbon is the drink of the masses, at least among the men in the 1960s, so we don't think they'd mind one bit if we snuck a nip into tonight's dessert. The pecans add a nice twist to the memory of Minny's Terrible Awful Thing, and the bourbon takes away a bit of the sting. At least that's what we'll tell Two-Slice Hilly.
Hot Roast Beef Party SandwichesMister Johnny had Minny's number. He raved about her pork chops and they appeared in the ice box. He sang about her catfish and it was on the menu the next week. And when he moaned about buying lunch in town, she sat him down for a roast beef sandwich. Thinly shaved beef, whether on toast or sweet dinner rolls, makes a flavorful lunch on the go.
Cranberry Congealed SaladHot Southern summers call for cold salads. Plate with flavorful ham sandwiches for a meal that's sure to satisfy your luncheon guests and keep you from pulling out your funeral home fan at the table. For shame!
Tuna Salad With Lemon AïoliMae Mobley's Mama worried about her chunky thighs and, once she hit school age, Miss Leefolt instructed Abileen to supply only healthy snacks, like tuna salad. It warms our hearts to know that tuna salad, while packed with protein and good-for-you ingredients, is also delicious! Lucky Mae Mobley; may all our diets be so terrible.
Fresh Strawberry CakeFor Mae Mobley's birthday, Abileen went to bat for the girl's favorite, strawberry cake, while Miss Leefolt held her ground for chocolate. We agree that nothing beats a true-pink cake for a little girl's birthday, but if you have to make both to please everyone, just bake them and sing Happy Birthday twice.

ARDA is honored to be a #Search&Rescue Hero charity partner for the #HeroDogAwards! The following have made it to the second round of voting and have selected ARDA as their charity partner - please vote for them today! You can cast your vote once a day until the voting closes on June 28 - lets get these dogs to the final round!!
"These things we do...
that others may live"
This motto has been adopted by Search and Rescue (SAR) teams worldwide to signify the core values of those who, at times, risk their own lives to save the lives of others. The phrase, which may have been adapted from its original Biblical origin, aptly describes the SAR goal of saving those in need of rescue.
The motto "That others may live" has origins from the USAF Pararescue: reported by Time Magazine in 1966. Most recently, the quote was prominent in the movie, The Guardian, portraying U.S. Coast Guard rescue swimmers.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
City of avalon rquires that you anchor out far enuff out that you are 300' from dive park and descsanso moorings when u swing towards shore. That puts your anchor in 140'+. In smmr it gets crowded with ppl who have no idea what there doing. Because of the amount of rode required, ppl dnt understand how much room is needed between boats. At slack tide the boats collide with the owners at the bar. Also ppl set there gear over urs. I almost lost my bt twice this last summer because of that. Frnds as well. Ive spent two summers there and only anchor there because i work where i can watch my bt. Thats y i still have her. Its a very risky place to anchor when its crowded if u cant keep your eye on your boat. Its also very uncomfortable much of the time. Many wakes and current puts you in the trough most nights.it can be very calm but changes quickly. Also theres alot of boats, old moorings, anchors and chain on the bottom to foul your gear on.
That area is a little deceiving. Just north of the Casino building is a dive area that is roped off. The designated anchorage area is just further out from that dive park. The depth in that area starts around 70'/80' and gets deeper rather quickly. It's surprising how quickly the island drops off. I've seen at least 3 or 4 boats drag anchor this summer and end up fouled in the dive park's ropes.
Some charts can throw you off too because the area directly adjacent to Descanso Beach (NW of the Casino Building) sometimes is listed as an anchorage area but is really filled with moorings. Also, the Avalon moorings outside of the harbor (Descanso Beach and Hamilton Cove) can get a bit bumpy and uncomfortable from all the boat wake and when the swells line up just right.
|The area north of the Casino may not be too bad for small boats with some sort of dinghy (even a kayak might do and be suited to the small Montgomery); I've seen smaller boats anchor there in water that's not terribly deep.
|Just a possible correction to my last post. On the other side of the main green pier in Avalon, there are other moorings (by Joe's Boats). Those may be smaller than 30' but I'm not familiar with those moorings or how they are set up.
You wouldn't have a problem sailing over there with decent weather. My friend just recently rode a Seadoo from Avalon to Marina Del Rey so a 17' boat is completely doable.
The problem you may find is getting a mooring in Avalon. Especially around 4th of July. Avalon is a madhouse around that time of year and if you don't know someone who owns a mooring, there's a good chance you may get bumped off a mooring and have to leave. Also, the smallest moorings are 30' so you'd have to extend lines from your cleats (bow & stern) to the hawsers or use the bow hawser and tie off the stern cleat on the spreader line. Sounds confusing but you can look up Catalina moorings online for a diagram.
The anchorage at Avalon is another problem. You have to anchor in 80-100' of water. I know I don't have enough rode to anchor there.
My advice is if you want to go to Avalon (which is a beautiful place), go mid-week either early or late in their busy season so you can practice catching a mooring and learning the lay of the land. People constantly, I mean constantly screw up in that harbor but if you are careful and do a little research, it's not that bad. One perk of going to Avalon (or Isthmus Cove) is that if you don't have a dinghy, you can call for a shore boat to pick you up at your mooring.
|Do you recommend going from long beach or somewhere else? Also, I plan in anchoring outside Laguna for alittle around July 4th.
I used to sail my Monty-17 to Catalina lots, and I was less well equipped than you sound to be. I circumnavigated Catalina once, and Santa Cruz Island once (both single-handed). Lots of single- and double-handed trips to Catalina. I sailed out of Marina Del Rey (where I dry-sailed it), or trailered it to Cabrillo Beach. I trailered to Oxnard for the trips to Santa Cruz Isl. I liked the Isthmus and other coves a lot better than Avalon.
I mostly anchored over there -- the boat is small enough to sneak inshore of the moorings in some areas. It really helps to have bow and stern anchors, and a dinghy of some kind (I had a little inflatable row boat), and a boom tent for the hot summer days.
|Well.... Since you have the "huge" compass... You should be all right. .
Help! Need advise to sail to Catalina Island!!
I am wondering how hard it is to sail to Catalina island on a montgomery 17. I've been lake sailing for 6 years with no real training other than books and experience. I would have a working radio and auto tiller with a huge compass on deck as well. I am well equipped with sails and am comfortable with my little boat overall. I would leave from long beach and head to Catalina island the city if Avalon, than down to Laguna beach around the 4th of July.
Should I do this trip or is Ocean sailing something not to fool with even in good weather?
