Ive been getting the same results myself....
Ok, thank you- I will bring home the Infrared Thermometer today and see what I come up with. I will get back with everyone later on, hopefully tonight...

Ya modguy read the thread it's all there. No temp sensor. Go fish.
Personally I think it doesn't matter though; once you put a waterblock on there all you need is a water temp sensor. I am going to either get one and screw it into a free port, then use that to power the fan, or use the PWM jack on the temp control and control both the fans and the pump speed from a single water temp thermocouple. I might also just tape the thermocouple to one of the block fittings and call it good; I didn't put any drain fittings into the system so I don't plan to take it apart any time soon!
I could use a fan controller to take the fans down a notch; so far the hottest I have seen on the gpu block is about 45 degrees in double precision fullscreen nbody simulation with the fans full tilt and the pump doing whatever the ASUS board tells it to from a PWM jack. Right now I have the CPU fully loaded on eight threads of BOINC and another BOINC thread running on the Tesla and I can't get it over 35C.
So I might just put a resistor in there and give the fans 7 volts instead of 12; the kit I bought has the resistors prewired for 7 and 5 volts on separate harnesses to plug and play. Pretty nice.
Thanks again everybody. Sorry I don't have a pic of the block on the card before it went in, but that part is really easy.

So there is a big difference btw what software reports from sensors embedded in the CPU chip and what a thermocouple on the GPU heat spreader just outside the waterblock report for component temps.
From what I understand the CPU chip is a lot more dense, so the heat is more concentrated and it responds better to increased flow rate, which is why you always want it in the main flow line. This is from Swiftech's site technical papers.
But I also suspect the actual GPU chip is pretty hot and I am just measuring the heat sink outside of the center, so lots of heat has been taken out by the water block before it ever gets to the thermocouple.
For now there is just no known way to get a good heat reading on the GPU chip itself. But if the cooling were inadequate the temp would equalize across the heat spreader and I would see higher readings. I think a thermocouple on the CPU spreader would probably show a lot less than 77 also.
If safety is the main concern, then the CPU temp would appear to dominate the system limits (I hope). I have intentionally loaded it all up and put a temp limit on the CPU monitor to shut the computer down if it hits 90 deg on the CPU core during the day today. There is just no good way to compare the temp values from the two components directly the way I am measuring them.

Nice atyp. My experience with the C2070 is that it just locks up when it gets too warm. I managed to do that a few times when I was setting the OC settings.
I have never managed to control the fan speeds on the 2 systems I have with CPU watercooled. My systems are push/pull fans on the radiators but they are not noisy ... there is some noticeable fan noise but it is more of a whisper and everything is in dedicated office space. I had considered fan speed control just to reduce dirt accumulation in the radiators, but the radiators are much easier to blow out than the air cooled heatsinks for CPUs. And, I put mesh filters on the fans so dirt accumulation is pretty minimal anyway. This all caused me to lose interest in any sort of fan speed control.
I used a pyrometer all over my systems during setup. With high water flow the temp is quite uniform. Some argue that more heat is removed if the water flow is slow as it is moved thru the radiator ... good argument. But the water is also slow thru the water block & absorbs more heat.
I decided not to mess with any more gadgets & controllers & just let it pump. My CPU OCs are about as good as they get & they can run for days 100% maxxed. Running from 4.2 GHz to 4.5 GHz so another 100 to 200 MHz is not interesting.
And, the OC for the C2070 ... the GPU is set to the maximum setting of the software I am using. I think it is the memory clock that had to be backed down a bit for stability. I also do not think the issue is temperature related although if some sort of peltier device was used higher clocks might be had .... ehhh! I made a thread on that someplace in this forum.

OK thanks for the reassurance. I am definitely on the "let it roll" plan today also.
Maybe I need some quieter fans; the ones with the kit looked pretty basic.
Just checking my home machine now- - so far the CPU is hovering around 80 fully cranked up; for some reason it posted an 84 max on core 3 earlier today but it is down now. I had it backing the hard drive up so maybe that was the issue.
I can probably do better with airflow. Fans are pulling down into the case to be sure the rad sees the coolest air possible, but inside the case is now warmer. I had to take off the rear case exhaust fan to fit the radiator in; maybe I will put it on the outside with a grate to keep little fingers out =:-) Should help get the warm air out and potentially increase the flow across the radiator as well.
So DarkStarr was pretty spot-on: the two place 120mm radiator is just enough for this job. The card draws up to 250W per NVIDIA documentation and the CPU draws ~70 full tilt so that is a fair amount of energy to dissipate, assuming most of it goes into heat (? Surely some of it goes to increasing the order of the electrons in the CPU, but I have no idea how much. Hmmm).
I can see why people go with big external radiators and large fans. I just want it all inside the case to keep my kids away from it.

Finding fans can be more more challenging than it should be. I check newegg (which has a great return policy) and have filtered all other WC sites down to mostly Performance PCs. There is always jab-tech & frozencpu which come up. Performance PCs has always shipped the same day.
Also, the Zalmon VF1000 I just received was missing 1 compression spring ... received 3 of 4. I contacted Performance, they contacted their supplier, who in turn emailed back copying me also & indicating that a spring was going out priority UPS. All of that transpired in the same day ... hard to ask for much more than that.
For radiators, thick fans are best. I have have the low speed version of these Fesers. According to Performance (I asked them) those low speed fans are not available any longer as "the company is difficult to work with". The hi speed fans in that link would be much too loud for any normal environment. 65 dBa!!!!! They also offer Pabst fans and are much quieter. I will admit that I have forgotten how loud might be too loud. Those Pabst at 39 dB still seem a little too loud tho and I do not believe that you need that kind of air flow ... I would stay below that noise level & is why I used push/pull.
Because I have the push/pull which is overkill I added these filters just to keep the dirt out.

For fans, there are three choices that I'm aware of if you want to push air through the rad, rather than pull. These fans are focused with a high static pressure. Their CFM will appear lower, but are more effective at forcing air through tight spaces.
Corsair SP120 High preassure - (has a quiet version too)
Noctua NF-F12 PWM 120mm Focused Flow
Silverstone SST-AP121 Air Penetrator
It may just be a marketing vid, but Silverstone posted a very informative test on youtube that shows the difference quite clearly. http://youtu.be/8m8fC809TK0
If you are pulling air through, then high static pressure is less of an issue.

I am getting Bitfenix Spectre Pros I need some 140s and 120s. If you want to go cheap then grab several CM R4 fans, they work great just don't expect them to last forever. I had 6 of them on my rad push/pull and got better temps with 2 deltas at 7v but the deltas were sooooo loud. That's why I added in the extra rad, so I can have slower fans and bring in less dust.

The Zalman VF1000 keeps the M2090 ... uh ... working ok. As discussed there is no way to know the GPU temp like there is with the C2070.
I have compared the speed of the M2090 to the C2070 (overclocked I think) & the M2090 is faster. Almost twice as fast. But, the M2090 is in a faster system; the M2090 is in a i7-990X versus the C2070 in a i7-920. Both CPU are OC-ed to well over 4 GHz, but a utility I have that came with a commercial number-crunch software shows the PCIe bus in the i7-990X is almost 10X faster than the i7-920. Mother boards are identical.
When there is a lull in the current crunching I will upload a few screen shots. Still, the C2070 is substantially faster than the i7-990x crunching by itself which had been the comparison. And, I must def find the time to drop in the extra i7-990x.

I ended up going push pull on the two fan radiator with a couple silent tornados (cant remember the name but the ones that get good reviews 1450rpm push and one of the swiftech fans in pull. The pull is thermostat switched along with a bunch of case exhaust fans with the temp sensor on the gpu. The push fans are plugged into the motherboard so they run continuously. Makes a pretty quiet machine unless it is crunching.
I would put the temp sensor on the cpu next time and put the cpu first in the loop. Maybe go with two pumps and a bigger case with triple radiator. But what I have will keep it running even on hot days, so it is just enough. Cpu temp is limiting factor and it it motherboard protected so it just powers down if too hot. Cpu runs 81-82 deg with everythink cranking in hot weather.

>.> doesn't sounds too good. What are you cooling 1 GPU and a CPU? If so that should be fine unless the fans are choking for air. Also how thick is the rad?

I use Indigo Extreme as the TIM which required running Prime95 on all cores with the water pump turned off. The CPU maxxed for several seconds ... impressive.That is 100 deg C. I used it on the i7-920 just pulled & on the other i7-990X. Pretty sure water was starting to boil in the CPU water block. Because when I turned the water pump back on a burst of water with fine bubbles came out. We need a funny face with sweat. Like I sad tho, I have done this twice before.
The M2090 + system is faster tho. Still looking into that. These systems are quite similar. Same m/b, same CPUs, same RAM, etc. ... so manufacturing differences could be root cause of the difference performance, but still checking things. Both boxes are running now & that is all that counts at the moment.
Last, Prime95 is now available as 64 bit & can automagically spawn threads on all available cores. Humbling seeing 12 threads fully pegged in Task Manager.

Regarding monitoring the temperatures on these cards, NVIDIA told me that the "nvsmi" tool has existed for a little bit, and I don't remember that being mentioned here. I was told that the tool was only for Linux but it does seem to be available for Windows as well:

nvidia-smi.exe, the actual application, was installed with the Windows Nvidia driver. I have used it on both the C2070 and the M2090 systems to compare what can be reported. As a result, I am pretty confident that the M2090 does not report temperature. Percent of memory usage is reported which is especially important to know when the project exceeds the memory of the GPGPU.

That's a bit strange, on account that it explicitly states "GPU Monitoring" on that page. It came about in the discussion of the K-series... I asked if the new cards could have their temperatures monitored, since the older ones could not. Then I was told about smi, and that yes, in fact, you could monitor the temperatures on previous cards.
Now, as I mentioned above, I was told that smi was for Linux-only, but possibly I misunderstood. I'm wondering if temperature monitoring, for some reason, is Linux-only, and that's what he meant.
But that makes little sense.

Our Partners
We maintain a few special partnerships, both sponsored and organic with a handful of select brands. Have a look below and check out our favourites for yourself.
Brand Partnersvitaminwater
If you've visited the site regularly over the last couple of years, you've probably taken note of my partnership with vitaminwater. If you've taken a sip of a vitaminwater zero during this time, you might have also noticed that I also write the labels on the bottles.
My relationship with vitaminwater is special. vitaminwater takes a fresh approach to getting their product in people's hands. And I'm proud to be part of the team that promotes it.
In 2012 we started a new venture together that is now three years running. vitaminwater is the benefactor of The Faculty of Celebrity Studies. The faculty tour stops in several cities each year and I've met many of you along the way. During Faculty Tour events, we discuss the sociology of gossip and examine how conscious uncoupling, the Motherhood Industrial Complex, Privacy, and the Celebrity Civil War can illuminate greater issues affecting our culture and our society. The Faculty, and your participation in it, crusades for the value of gossip. Gossip is GOOD. It's time to stop apologising for it!
I'm excited to be working with vitaminwater on an ongoing basis and hope you grab a vitaminwater zero next time you need a drink.
AMEX Canada
I was honoured to be asked to be an AMEX Ambassador at the end of 2013 and have since become an AMEX Platinum CardMember. The benefits vary from card to card, but what stands out is the level of service they provide across their line-up. It's like having your own personal assistant with you when you travel. And I do a lot of that so it's nice to know that I'm covered in more ways than just for lost baggage when I book with my AMEX. So you may find I'll go on about their travel benefits cause I'm a travel nerd. I love lounges - I get access. I hate security line-ups - I pass them with this card (at Pearson at least...). They even offer an annual travel credit to be used for whatever you need related to travel.
I'll be talking more about the benefits of my AMEX card on the blog and on Twitter using the #amexambassador hashtag on the regular so please don't roll your eyes. Embrace and try one yourself.
Charities and non-profit PartnersCovenant House Vancouver
Covenant House Vancouver provides food, shelter, clothing, counselling, access to medical services, and training and support to at-risk youth living in Vancouver. They come from everywhere - from all across Canada and the United States, from South America, from Europe, from Africa, from South East - and we see them all. We help them put their lives back together not by giving a hand OUT but by extending a hand UP. We provide structure, we have expectations, and we believe our programs and our pillars work not only to get kids off the streets but to get kids off the streets for good.
I worked at Covenant House Vancouver for 3 years. I remain a consultant with the organisation on special campaigns and I am a volunteer at the agency too. Come down any time for an information session and/or a tour. We'd love to show you how they work.
Site PartnersRidiculously Creative
The technical mastermind behind LaineyGossip.com, Erwin Choi built this site from scratch. The genius of it was that he built it for someone who still, to this day, has little to no knowledge of how anything works. In other words, if I can somehow make sense of it, anyone can make sense of it. But it's the simplest things that require the most brilliance, non? Erwin is hands-on, he's flexible, and he's also a bit of a therapist. When Jacek calls him at 4am in a five alarm panic because we've f-cked up the site... again... Erwin is as chill as he is skilled. If you're looking to launch your own site, Erwin is your guy
HLM Fitness/Hayley McGowan
Hayley kicked my ass 3 times a week in Vancouver before we moved. Because of Hayley I doubled my distance running, doubled my weights, and hauled my ass up Grouse Mountain for Seek the Peak. A trainer will work you out. A world class trainer like Hayley McGowan will change your life. And the best part is... she gets it. She gets that I want to fit in to that dress. She gets that I want to LIVE not starve. She gets that I want to indulge...within reason. She gets that I hate the gooey parts that ooze over the strapless dress. Because Hayley is stylish too. And while she might be an exercise fitness guru, she's also a girl's girl. Training from a girl's girl perspective is totally different. Having said that, it doesn't mean Hayley can't roll with the boys. My husband wept on Tuesdays when he saw her. Wept, groaned, and ached. She kicked his ass too. And now she writes for our site.

AMES, Iowa – Learn how to emulate nature with permaculture during the May 3 Virtual Eco Family Conference taught by Fred Meyer, chair and executive director of Backyard Abundance. Meyer will teach about the principles of permaculture and how to mimic nature to produce food in small spaces.
Meyer's presentation is part of the online conference series from Iowa State University Extension and Outreach.
"Edible landscaping fits in perfectly with permaculture," said Meyer.
Meyer will focus on 10 principles of permaculture. The two most common principles are that the landscaping must have multiples functions and the functions must interconnect.
"Everything in nature performs multiple functions," Meyer said. "Through this class, people can get an idea of how to landscape so their yards perform multiple, interconnecting functions and are pleasing to the eye."
The May session is the fifth in the online conference series from ISU Extension and Outreach. On the first Thursday of each month through June, a 90-minute webinar will feature a different speaker addressing a different environmental topic. All sessions begin at 7 p.m. Iowans may still register for the conference series.
To participate in the conference, families need a computer with high-speed Internet access, speakers or headphones and microphone, if they wish to speak to the instructor. They also can communicate with the instructor by typing their questions or comments in the online chat box. The registration fee is $15 per person. Once registered, participants will receive log-in directions for accessing the virtual classroom for all conference sessions.
Conference coordinators Kristi Cooper and Brenda Schmitt are ISU Extension and Outreach family program specialists. The Virtual Eco Family Conference series is designed to help Iowans think about environmental issues and practical action steps they can take in their own home and neighborhood, noted Cooper. The online conference series is part of a new initiative from ISU Extension and Outreach to help Iowans make conscious decisions about the environment, Schmitt added.
"This session is for people interested in growing their own food and who live in town," Cooper said.
You still can register and participate in the remaining sessions of the conference, Cooper said. For registration information, contact Cooper at 319-377-9839 (email@example.com) or Schmitt at 641-512-0650 (firstname.lastname@example.com). The registration form is online; print it, complete it and mail with a check for $15 to ISU Extension and Outreach, P.O. Box 368, Allison, IA 50602.

Here's a few to start off, based locally around Cheltenham.
1. Leckhampton Hill. Wide and high, open view of Cheltenham and surrounding countryside.
2. Cleeve Hill. Same scenery but from opposite side of Cheltenham, facing Leckhampton Hill.
3.Gloucester Cathedral. £2 to shoot as much as you like, lots of interesting items. Some scenes of Harry Potter shot here.
Oh, and hello to all the other forum users. This is my first post. I should provide links to a few pics but havent got round to uploading yet. perhaps later.
Posted 30 March 2004 - 01:33 PM
Here are my top 3 locations:
1. The City district, London, at the weekend.
Fascinating architecture, modern and old, with no people around to get in the way!
2. Covent Garden, London.
Lots of opportunities for candid photography.
3. Trafalgar Square, London.
A lot of events start, stop or pass through here.

My wife comes from Scotland and have found down by the River Clyde great.
I also got some nice ones down the Thames on a riverboat 2 weekends ago.
Anything in Greenwich park is good.
I'm waiting for Xmas now as my Fuji S2800Zoom is starting to show it's age/pixels any suggestions for something similar Zoomwise but higher Mp? I quite like the S20 or S7000...
Posted 22 April 2004 - 05:38 PM
Have you read my recent review of the S7000?
It's a long wait to Christmas - maybe you should treat yourself before then!

Posted 22 April 2004 - 05:49 PM
I think I'm more after rich colours (with 6xOptical Zoom+) which so far Fuji have pleased me with although could do better. Are there any other makes/models in the £500 bracket that you have tried that are worth entertaining.
As another quick(ish) question is there a guide as to what MP resolution would give photo quality at what ever size (ie: 2MP upto 7x4...)?
P.S> I wuld love to get an upgrade now but the wife will not hear of it, that's why I'm making her pay for it (it'll serve her right, I'll probably want the S2 Pro by then)!

I'm dying to get down there with my camera to get in a bit of street photography. I must admit that I love London with all it's diversity - I only wish that I could get down there more often than I do!

I do not see any evidence of wax moths, if what you are talking about is the ragged edges of the comb, that is from robbing. They are in such a hurry to get at the honey they will just tear up the comb to get at it. If you are through with these combs for the season spray them with BT, let them dry and place in storage.
What is BT?
Now for the sad news............in the USA it is not labeled for use on honeycomb (doesn't say you can't). Many years ago it was sold as Certan or B401 for this very purpose. Still available and listed for this very use in Canada (can't remember what catalog I saw it in). Not sure why they will not get it listed again for the USA, must cost out the ying yang for that. But anyway, it most definitely does work!! Disclaimer.... I am not suggesting that you use this product in any other way than what it is labeled for.
G3farms... Did you look at Reply #6 must be old times set in HEHEHE and yes I did buy Certan in the USA about 1980 or so and I know it works for 7-8 years. This as the Canada supple house
does anyone have a source for BT in the states?
it looks like certan ( B401 ) & Xen-Tari BT are pretty much the same. the local nurseries carry some BT packaged by Fertilome & Hy-Yield which are actually the company. i talked to their rep. who told me their products are not safe for bees. so if you are looking for BT locally check with the manufacturer before using. i'm going with the Xen-Tari since they are in the states & do not want any hassles with customs.

the holiday season is well on its way. But for
the RISD students who have put together this year's Exposé, the
festive season has already begun.
For the third year running, the
pop-up gallery and gift shop is entirely juried, curated, planned and
publicized by a team of students (Cynthia Chang 12 SC, Paige Silverman 12 SC, Philippe Dwyer 12 GD, Alex Boberg 12 PT, Emma Safir 12 PR, Kate Harkness 13 FAV, Hallie Bean 12 GD, Sarah Lammer 13 PR, Allison Boesch 12 IL) with support from RISD's Center for Student Involvement.

Arsenal welcome Liverpool to Emirates Stadium for Saturday's evening kick-off in the Premier League.
You can find out more about our opponents below.
Full name: Liverpool
Manager: Brendan Rodgers
Club colours: Red shirts, red shorts and red socks
Nickname: The Reds
Three facts about Liverpool:
- Like Arsenal, Liverpool are unbeaten away from home this season.
- The Reds are currenlty third in the Premier League, just two points behind Arsène Wenger's team.
- Strikers Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge have scored 16 goals between them this campaign.
The Uruguayan striker, who was linked with a summer move to north London, has been in sensational form since his return from suspension in September. The 26-year-old has scored six goals in four league games and has forged a very good partnership with England striker Daniel Sturridge. The Gunners will certainly have to keep those two quiet on Saturday.

Discussion in 'March 2007' started by Dlev59, Mar 15, 2007.
Wow, what a game!! Who would have guessed. Rewind that baby and watch it again.... and again.
MVP MVP MVP FLIP MURRAY!!! I thought we were dead when CB went out. Anyone figure out what the crap was the T on Sheed for this time??
Unbelievable win by the Pistons tonight. Lowering the boom on Phoenix in their house like this is certainly the most surprising big win of the season, I'd say. The big story was the greatest game in the history of Flip Jr., 12-16 from the floor for 25 points, and with 6 steals! He was absolutely en fuego in the third quarter, and I think he even outscored Nash in that period (he did for the game, 25-20). In the open floor, and going to the hole, HQ's least favorite player flat out destroyed the Suns. CWebb spun and rolled to the hoop around everyone, 8-12 from the floor, and Sheed was 4-6 on 3s. Delfino had a huge game off the bench, 5-6 from the floor and 7 boards. Pistons only had 9 turnovers, but the Suns had 22 (!), which was why this game got out of control like it did. The big concern is Chauncey going down with a groin pull, which is what allowed Flip Jr. to channel the ghost of World B. Free, as gazoo said in chat. Not sure what his status is yet for the next few games. Obviously we can't count on Murray playing anywhere near this well on any sort of consistent basis, but there were a couple of things the Pistons did tonight that you can't take away from them: active hands and good rotations on D, and CWebb exploiting the Suns' weak interior D. Those two factors will be huge if we end up seeing these guys in the finals.
wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!! and that enzyte is something else!!! but i digress,...... nash...8/9 fg's 20 pts diaw 5-5 fg amare 24 pts/15rebs and we win by 70 pts!!! despiTe: Rip 40 minutes and 6 pts Tay 7 pts Chauncey 13 minutes = pulled groin this is why SHEED has to realize how important he is to this team. The one I hate was great tonite,but the MBP on both sides of the ball waas SHEED..
SHEED said SON OF A BEACH but threw his hands to the ref after his big 3, and u JUST CANT DO THAT..if he just wouldve shaddup...........
Wow. A slaughter of Phoenix making it a 5-0 road trip out west, something the Pistons have not done since 1992. Way to go Flip Murray, Sheed, Webber, Delfino. Dyess scored plenty too. I am sure Rip got some points in there somewhere. CB did some scoring before coming out mid 2nd quarter with a groin injury. By the look on Billups face, he seems quite dejected about the injury, so I am guessing it will a while before we see him in a game again. Good. We need him to sit a while and rest anyway. No I am not glad he got injured. I would much rather of had the coach give him some rest so the injury would not have happened. Flip Murray made one bad shot on his way to at least 25 points. He also had about 5 steals, several rebounds, some slap aways that he will not get credit for in the stats. Except for maybe a trip or two, he played pretty good D on Nash too. Absolutely Flip Murray's best game as a Piston, probably his best since long ago in Seattle when had that really good streak. So who played backup point to Flip in the 2nd half? Nobody. Flip only came out for just over a minute. Delfino maybe ran about two plays during that time and Prince one I think. Now, when Flip came back in the game, they did have Delfino and Tay each run a play, probably to get him just a bit more of a break. Worked out pretty good as we went from 11 up to putting the game totally away a few minutes later. Remember me mentioning Delfino getting into a habit of knocking down a three early 4th? He knocked down two of them in this 4th quarter, plus a few more buckets besides. Rebounding, coming up with loose balls, knocking the ball away. Hardly any missed shots from him. One of his misses was on a fast break where Murray cleaned up the miss. And as always, sound defense. Dyess hit maybe one shot with range with the rest of his points coming close in. I think he ended up with about a dozen? Chris Webber, if he made his free throws, would have yet another 20 point game. He fell short, not by much on double digit rebounds too. What a road trip for him. His only game with light scoring had him down for 8 assists. He had several more assists tonight. Oh and even if he does miss some free throws, he sure was getting Phoenix into foul trouble. Sheed hit about 3 triples, scored inside too. Three blocks. We managed to keep them in a halfcourt game and Sheed was something fierce inside making them think twice the next time. Phoenix was reduced to a bunch of bad outside shots for the most part. Flip got his scoring on good finishes off steals, a few outside shots where they left him open, and some good drives to the basket. A very under control game for him. No Maxiell except for garbage time. Seems odd since Phoenix has no real center. But oh well, Delfino got plenty of time. As long as its not a trend I can live with it. Sheed got a tech for absolutely nothing. He nailed a key three in the 4th that kind of put the game away, and pumped his fist a couple of times while running back. And some high fives as Phoenix called timeout. Totally bogus. Hope that gets rescinded but hey, they did not rescind the one for "ball don't lie." Is the league out to get Sheed or what. Funny, noone in the league can suggest such a thing without a fine. Some system. Thats 3 straight games for Flip Murray playing well, and this his best ever as a Piston. After tonight, even I am starting to hope Flip Murray has changed. Lets all hope, we could use him in the playoffs if he truly has. That means never slacking on D, and not taking shots that are not there. Delfino had one pretty nifty shot driving inside where he went under Stoudemire's arm and flipped it in off glass. Webber got his posting up mostly, but did hit one outside shot with range, and twice just drove right on in and dunked on them. His reverse slam on one of those drives was really something. What knee surgery? GO PISTONS!!!!!I forgot to give props to Billups for running a very good game in the first half, keeping the game at our tempo-half court. That is in the end what won it for us.
Missed the first half, but second half was so great I am not sure if I want rewind the dvr or not to watch the first. Great game, great chat GREAT win!! On this five game western road trip the Pistons discover their defense, their bench, their perpensity for points in the paint (which has allowed them to shoot over 50% in the last four games) and yes that they had fans on the west coast who show up in droves to support them, and oh yeah that Flip Murray can really shoot when the other team plays no defense I know it's premature, and the fact that both the Cavs and Heat are undefeated this month, but I think if the Pistons run the table the rest of the month which would include W's over the big four in the west, Flip garners another coach of the month award (despite the three L's). That would show the Mavs, Suns and Spurs that we can beat them in their own crib and a finals matchup is not going to be another potential west walkover...as all media is predicting (like they did in 04)
Nice Leecap Lee. I'm in awe of Flip Murray's performance tonight. Not that he isn't capable... we all heard that he is a streaky scorer... but this guy has been left for dead. Benched while they were openly trying to trade him. He had a wonderfully lazy look to him tonight like a pro golfer in a zone. A relaxed confidence I'll call it. And it wasn't only the made shots. It was the shot selection, passing, steals, and poise when the team really needed it. I am going to make a mental note of this and hold my proverbial tongue when he struggles again. It's not just this game, but I want to reiterate my contention that all of these guys (Flip, Delfino, Nazr, Dale Davis, JMax) should be given consistency if nothing else. No matter how little playing time they get, they should be aware that their next chance is always coming and that they will be used to their strengths. I believe all 5 of them can contribute in meaningful ways if used correctly. We had the goon squad breakout, the steady emergence of Delfino, and now Flip Murray has made a deal with the Devil. Nazr is next. And in conclusion, let's give some props to Mr. Flip Saunders. This was one of the first games this year that looked like we had a superior game-plan. Phoenix shoots > 50% and gets blown out? We slowed it down beautifully. We kept them from shooting 3's. When Nash drove into the paint, we didn't freak out and over-collapse on him. Our players looked like they were well prepped and motivated. Chauncey... what's up with this guy's muscles? Kander is going to have a busy fortnight massaging another man's groin.
Let's hope that now that they are flying home tonight, his wife can take care of that this weekend......
I couldn't believe my eyes when I read on SI.com: Pistons blow out the Suns :winner_first_h4h:
Yes, baby. You all knew what this team was capable of. This Piston team is one mean machine when it is tuned up. Webber in the offense. Sheed animated. A real bench. Dysss looking young. Delfino now confident enough to bury shots. And then there was Flip Murray. I watched those last two games and said: Is he for real? I asked you all on this very board. Did he learn to run the offense watching Chauncey? I think we have found a back-up to Chauncey finally. His name is Flip Murray. Only one wild shot. Ok, the offense isn't quite as crisp but the guy can hit shots, big shots. He finishs better than Rip or Chauncey. I think we can find him some minutes for our back up. I'm in with the Pistons for their third finals appearance in 4 years. Who said the east was weak?
"They did a great job of playing inside-out," Stoudemire said. "That's good old playoff basketball they played out there tonight, and we just stooped down to their level. We didn't have too many fast-break points. We didn't attack like we needed to."

What a wonderful game. This could be the most perfect match of the season given the circumstances.
Its great to feel the positive vibe emanating from this win...and the road win streak. Some of those Sithy dudes even applied for a Jedi license. "and you are...." "the DARK LORD of DISCONTENT" "and you want to become a jedi because..." "STFU and sign the application. We're winning!" "Thats not really a peaceful attitude...ackkkkkkk!" "I get to use this force choke thing until you hand me my green lightsaber." "out...of....g-green..." "funny thats what mr. D said when I asked him about signing Ben Wallace."
Classic slippy.
Exhilirating win. Fantastic road swing by the boys. They played well in all 5 games. What's up with Tay? He has not been looking very sharp.

I dont know what's worse, Slippy.....Turning in my sith card or faking the funk so my nose won't grow!
Whap! That's my one word description of how much the Pistons dominated the Suns last night. It was such a fun night and boy if someone told me before the game started that Flip Murray was going to torch the Suns for 25 points and be player of the game I would have asked him to put the crack pipe away. I had fantastic seats (4th row center court behind the media table). I drove up to the game from Tucson with a friend of mine that is also a Pistons fan and he was very hesitant about wearing any Pistons gear. No worry on that front, there were plenty of Pistons jerseys representing, especially #1 Chauncey Billups. I was wearing my Carlos Delfino jersey and in the sea of season ticket holders in the primo seats we did stand out a bit. I got in my seat about 40 minutes before tip-off and the Pistons were doing some last minute practicing. It's almost surreal seeing the boys up close and they are an incredibly tight-knit and loose group. Chauncey uses this time to do some mentoring with Jason Maxiell, which warms my heart. At the half-court line, DD, CWebb and Sheed are all jacking up shots. Surprisingly DD's shot doesn't look half bad, I think he could make a few of those if he was in ever thrown in that position. Chris Webb on the other hand can hardly get that shot to even get near the basket with the weak stuff he was throwing up. My attention was diverted by Greg Kelser smoosing with some of his buddies at the media table. I walked up to the area where he was standing and told him I was doing a write-up for the Pistons.forum and that Delfino was my favorite player. In that sing song voice of his he said "Delfino is very good, isn't he?" Yah Baby! No argument from me on that account. The U.S. Airways Arena is rocking. When did basketball become a sport for the attention deficit disorder poster children? There is so much going on with the dancers, players practicing, coaches milling around, blinkie neon lights and fan buzz. Going up my aisle to take his seat a few rows behind me and to the left I spy Jerry Colangelo (heee... I have better seats than he does). I pretty much laser beamed my attention on watching the Pistons but occasionally I would look over at the Suns lay-up line and Steve Nash is all business. He's giving his guys encouragement and watching their lay-up line is a thing of precision. On the other hand the Pistons are doing their best imitation of the bad boys sneaking out of study hall and practicing lay-ups. Delfino puts crazy spin on his flip-up nonchalant toss in and little did I realize that's a designed shot that he'll he make later in the game. The game is about to start and the Suns game announcer starts pumping up the volume and it's quite the show introducing the starting line-ups. I was just thrilled to see in person the Pistons reserves during their circular war-dance (though Sheed was not in the middle whooping it up as he often does). The game finally starts and as usual the Pistons let the other team get ahead and the two floor generals (Nash and Billups) are doing their best to dictate the flow of the game. I can read Chauncey's lips as he's dribbling up the court, "slow it down", it's evident the Pistons are going to try and impose their will on this team. Now I'm a big fan of the Pistons style, half-court grind it out but the Suns hate playing that way. I can feel as the flow of the game goes the Pistons way the atmosphere in the arena becomes less almost lethargic. The Suns just can't run and gun and they start getting impatient. I've never seen so many traveling calls in my life and that's because the Suns are in such a hurry to get something going and they just can't figure out why they are open one minute and the next there's someone contesting their shot. The Suns just haven't run into a team that plays the style of Detroit and it really shows their weakness. Barbosa might be one of the fastest players in the NBA but in a half court game that speed doesn't get you anywhere. If anything, Flip Murray looks to be the one that's the "Brazilian Blur", he's everywhere with those fast hands stealing the ball. If anything I'm now convinced that Flip Jr. does now belong in the line-up, and not just because of last night's game. He can get his own shot and he absolutely got any shot he wanted last night. Other observations. In the 3rd quarter with a Flip Murray substitution in, Tay was on the floor and he thought that Flip was substituting for Delfino. It turned out he was being the one to sit and he instantly put a dark scowl on his face and went to the bench clearly annoyed. Flipper immediately walked down to the end of the bench where Tay was sitting and mouthed, "I'll get you back in very soon". The Pistons were up by 10 and then went on their crushing run and never looked back and Tay never got back in the game. I hope Tay moves on and doesn't lock horns with Saunders over his playing time but it wasn't pretty seeing that look. This made me laugh: Mike Abdenour is just such an important cog in the wheel. The players rely on him to keep their uniforms and equipment where it should be. Players were peeling off their jerseys and tossing them at Abdenour like he was their Cub Scout den mother. He absolutely rules the little ledge area where the talc dispenser and Rip's mask sit. I saw Carlos walk up to him near that ledge area asking him about something. Mike said "no, I don't have" and then Carlos nodded and selected an object from the ledge and it was a stick of gum. So Abdenour is the keeper of Carlo's chewing gum and he was out of his favorite flavor. Last observation: Heading out of the arena with the very dispirited Sun's fans I kept hearing this loud yell of, "Detrooooit Basketbaaaaalll" and that was the perfect way to end my evening.

OID, you are partially correct. Back Orifice is not a virus, it is a Trojan, however most non-technical people consider all kinds of malware a virus. I mean just use a little common sense and look at the name "Back Orifice". Back Orifice is a Trojan/ backdoor. It allows attackers to take full control of an attacked computer similar to the way, Windows XP Remote Desktop functions, except that Back Orifice works without the user's knowledge. The program has been around since 1999, but is now marketed as an administrative tool rather than a hackers tool. Be aware use of this tool rather than Remote Desktop without permission to install it on that users computer could end up with a prison sentence.

The steps are:
-Ensure doors and liftgate are closed
-Depress and hold brake
-Press 'start' button (engine running now)
-Press and hold the Program button until the horn chirps 3 times signalling it's ready mode
-Press and release Program button, the horn will chrip 4 times indicating Option Bank 1. Scroll to Option Bank 2 with the Program Button (5 chirps indicates Option Bank 2). Scroll through options with a press/release of the brake pedal. Horn will chirp back at you to indicate what Option you are on (2 chirps, option 2; 3 chirps, option 3; etc). Once in an option, you can turn it on or off with a single click of the button on the transmitter.
-Turn the car off to save the settings.
I have been reading through the messages but I haven't seen yet where the instructions are on exactly how to get into the programming mode and how to navigate through the programming mode.
If you have them and could just email me direct it would be great.
Scratch that request. I re-read Yamazama's findings, and the statement "I'm uncertain as to why Tach Mode seems to cancel the auto shut off." triggered that Option Bank 2, Option 1 is the toggle I was looking for. Thanks!
I don't quite understand why, unlike before when I had 1 chirp after the car started, I now have to choose between 0 chirps and 4 chirps, but oh well. This is huge that I can leave my car running after unlocking it! Thanks a ton everyone.
Read through the thread, great info, but I'm not grasping which bank/option I need to toggle. I have a '12 Ti w/ push start; all I want to do is to disable the shutoff when the doors are opened/unlocked. I found the programming button under the glove compartment, and cycled through the (4) options in bank 1 & the (6) options in bank 2 (no option 7). Which of the below options do I toggle? (copied/pasted from earlier posts):
Option Bank 1 - 4 chirps
Option 1: Tach Learn (N/A)= OFF
Option 2: Door Ajar Polarity(On=pos; Off=Neg) = OFF
Option 3: Key in sense Polarity (On=pos; Off=Neg) = ON
Option 4: Extended Horn Output (On=3x horn output; Off=Normal horn ouput) = OFF
Option Bank 2 - 5 chirps
Option 1: Blind Crank of Tach Mode (On=blind crank; Off=Tach Mode) = OFF
Option 2: Crank Time (On=1sec; Off=8sec) = ON
Option 3: Run Time (On=15min; Off=10min) = ON
Option 4: Start Activation (On=hold 2.5 seconds; Off=double press button) = ON
Option 5: Diesel Timer (On=30sec crank delay; Off=No Delay)= OFF
Option 6: Hon on Start (On=honk confirmation: Off=No honk) = OFF
|Ok, I got everything working correctly now. Just wanted to add, my remote start DOES have the 7th option in the second bank to keep the car running after opening the door. It's not documented anywhere in the manual that came with it though. It shows that bank 7 is "unused". I'm not sure when they decided to program this back into it, but it works. The sticker on the brain module had a date of 2013 if that makes any difference. Just an FYI for anyone thinking about purchasing one.
Bumping an old thread, but have some questions. I just put in the Ford bidirectional remote start today and want to make sure I got everything hooked up correctly.
First question, when you remote start the car does the car lock itself before it starts, if the doors are unlocked?
Second question.... I have the same problem as others with a newer system, I don't have a 7th bank to disable the car shutting off after opening a door. Has anyone with this problem tried using Focccus to disable the MYKEY? According to the manual, if you don't have MYKEY then the door opening should not shut off the car.
|Guilty Trace
|I had been wanting to disable the shutdown on door open feature forever and finally found the programming button under the glove compartment, behind the tear away fabric that lines the passenger foot well. However, as I followed the instructions on the PDF I found online, it turned out that I only had 6 options in my available options bank no matter if I had a MyKey programmed to the car or not (which I thought was the deciding factor since the PDF says "NON MY-KEY OPTIONS" and "MY-KEY OPTIONS"). While I did change my remote start time to 15 minutes from 10, disabled the horn honk on remote start and I changed the input from "push and hold" to "push twice," I was dismayed that I couldn't access the MY-KEY OPTIONS so I could scroll to option 7 and disable the one thing I started doing all of this for in the first place! Has anyone had any success in this and, if so, how the hell did you do it? Thanks forum!
Wow huge thumbs up to the guys who made this possible. This annoyed the hell out of me, and I thought I would just have to live with it.
Following Yamazama's post and the PDF in this thread, I was able to get mine to work exactly the way I want. No horn, no shutoff. Thanks a bunch guys!
A few quick notes that might help out some guys doing this, most have been said in this thread but I missed them going through it and had to go back and re-read.
To enter programming mode, make sure doors and tailgate are closed.
When pressing the programming button for the initial 10 seconds, you also have to be pressing down on the brake pedal.
The LED status light did not illuminate until I had entered the programming mode. I never directly found the LED, but was able to see the glow behind the glove box. If you're having a hard time finding the LED, try entering Bank 1 and scroll through a few options to see if you can see a red glow from the LED. Do your work in an unlit garage to help see the LED if it's not directly visible.
My car horn did not honk when entering the programming mode, bank 1 or 2, and also when scrolling through the options. I was however able to hear what sounded like a relay clicking the same number of times that the horn was supposed to honk. So I would recommend doing the work while it is quiet enough for you to hear just incase your horn doesn't honk.

The 27in iMac may not be flawless, but it is peerless. The few improvements that could be made don't detract from the fact that this is quite simply the best iMac, and possibly even the best Mac, Apple has ever made.
I've always found my iMac to have an odd viewing angle. It's titled back very slightly, but no matter where I position it, unless it is titled right back light greys and blues are very barely visible. I notice this a lot as I work with WordPress quite a lot, which has greys and blues on the dashboard interface. Not sure if that applies to just my iMac/all iMacs, this new one.
I think 27" would be too big though. I've got the 20", and have a 24" Benq, which is great when you need all the space - but for general use it gets a bit over the top.
I think the newly announced VAIO L is the next closest thing to this. It comes in at 24inches, so its in between the two iMacs. The design on that is pretty neat as well. Differences are that this uses an LED IPS screen, whereas the Sony uses a multitouch screen.
"The iMac has always been a thing of beauty; a shining beacon of what's possible when both form and function are allowed to combine in harmony"
.... if you're a fan of 70s sci-fi shows.
No height-adjustable screen = no thank you. No Steve, not all humans are the same height or have the same morphology.
Tilting, or using a mammoth (and ugly) VESA arm to hold the weight of the 27", are piss poor substitutes.
ruthless - Who doesn't love The Jetsons?
I think it shouldn't be a 10/10 overall.... Maybe 9/10.
I think a few people will buy one not realising just how much desktop space this beast will take up. It looks a lot smaller in a huge open plan Apple Store! Having said that, the majority of us power users wanting immense screen resolution will have a ball. I have a 4 year old 20" iMac and it gets far more use than my newer PC Desktop (now just a development PC).
The new 27" model will suit a desk in a bedroom and double as an in bed TV and movie player. The missus has never liked nor wanted a mac but she has her eyes on this one so Apple must be doing something right.
How can you rate this as 10/10 for value?
Who now can stand against the power of the iMac?
Core i5 Core i7 27" inches of lustful glory!
Smells like another steve Jobs Victory
/Fanboy rant over
@ Marcel
The sheer size, quality, and technology of the screen?
As said in the review, to match such a good screen with a similar spec'd windows PC would shave very little - if anything - off the price.
I've always hated Mac desktop's personally (due to the level of customisation with much cheaper windows machines) whilst liking their laptops, however this bad boy has most definitely changed my mind.
Shame I spent £450 on a windows desktop not long ago, though I haven't got the screen to go with it yet..
..Might be able to justify that as getting this for a new toy.
@ Marcel "How can you rate this as 10/10 for value?"
Yes, I must admit my eyebrows were raised a tad when I saw that rating. Although they were raised even higher when I read the line "27in iMac is that it quite literally has no rivals" which is a bit odd. But we all know Hugo is an Apple man, so lets let the guy enjoy it :P
My 2.8Ghz 24" Aluminium iMac is 2 years old now and I have to admit i'm extremely tempted by their new iMac with that lovely screen and design and a i7 quad core processor to boot. I have however decided to wait till next year when my AppleCare has expired with the hope that Apple may add USB3 and Blu-ray into the mix :)
Hugo, can SD cards fit all the way in this time? It's bad enough on the MacBook Pros but having them stick out the side of your iMac would quickly ruin those aesthetics.
Gormond - Apple will never add Blu-ray, Steve Jobs's got something against it.....
@Steve @Marcel
How much do you think a 27 inch H-IPS monitor (LED backlit) with the dot pitch of the iMac would cost? Between £1000 and £1200.
IMHO I could never say that something be it mac or pc over £1000 is a 10/10 on value. Whilst this is a great piece of technology its not flawless and thus should not be given a 10/10 overall.
I'm a PC (user) and I think these seems good value. Considering it has a top-drawer 27" IPS panel "included" I don't think there's much reason to complain. Dell's UltraSharp 2709W will set you back around £750 (Dell website price), has a lower resolution and I don't believe it's an IPS panel (forums would suggest PVA).
This is obviously for professional use - it's packing a great screen and enough power to run applications like Photoshop and Illustrator. It comes in a much neater package than any PC + screen bundle will and I'd bet it's pretty quiet, too. My only issue with it would be it's not customisable at all.
I'm going to pick up 2x Dell 22" IPS screens for my PC at about £400 together, but if I had the money available I'd consider just getting this! :s
I see your point.
If you like a nice looking computer I can see the appeal. I think spending £1350 on a computer that has very little scope for upgrade which has over 50% of the value tied up in the display is madness but each to their own.
That is a very pretty computer. With the Apple fanbase it probably commands an excellent resale value. I suppose one buys it new and then ebays it before its value goes through the floor when the next model comes out. Then it probably is good value. Not so if one plans to keep it for any length of time.
@Marcel - you raise a good point. If Apple had only included an HDMI input this could have been used with a Blu-ray player, allowed you to connect a laptop or be usable as a screen if and when the computer dies or becomes too out-dated.
@Nicholas: Then it probably is good value. Not so if one plans to keep it for any length of time.
If you mean upgradable, then PC's are not that upgradable either really. Eg, going from say a DUO,QUAD to say I5/I7 you will need a new M/B, new Memory, new CPU/cooler. You could maybe keep your case/CD/DVD, but is that any big thing?, and this is not taking into account other changes like PCI/AGP/PCIe/USB/USB2/USB3,10/100/1000eth etc. And this has always been the case with PC's, there is this false belief that you can future-proof them.
The biggest problem I see with the IMac, is that the speed of tech between the monitor and the PC is substantially different. Eg, the PC will date much faster than the monitor. If these were separate, I can see the monitor being used for many more years than the PC part, eg, I'm still using the same monitor after having changed my PC 3 times.
of course 10/10. I have the very first Apple iMac and it's still totally functional. I have had it upgraded once for 250,- EURO's and now it still runs as fast as any PC I know. I think with the new iMacs the value has only increased.
@Keith - I consider upgrading the CPU, Mobo and sometimes RAM a "new PC". I've had my HHD, optical drive, PSU, case, screen and peripherals for a couple of overhauls. DDR2 lasted me two upgrades.
@Keith: as someone who has built a dozen PCs for myself and friends over the last 15 years, I totally agree with you on PC upgradeability or lack thereof. The most expensive components must be replaced with each CPU upgrade and only as a gamer, do I manage to squeeze a video upgrade in between those. The only upside of this upgrade cycle is that the old machine is virtually worthless so I always end up with a spare computer (minus case) to give to friends/family who need something that's still perfectly usable. They just won't be playing the latest games.
I've just bought an i7 version of this new iMac and having owned quite a few Macs and some PCs in the last 20 years or so, I have to say it is the best computer I have ever bought. Of course I would have liked Blu-ray, but getting a 27in 2560 x 1440 LED screen (something none of us expected)along with a fast quad-core processor has more than made up for this. I use a 2009 2.26ghz 8-core Mac Pro at work, and I have to say that I don't notice any major speed difference between this and the iMac, even on intense video encoding tasks.

look at what this ****** is trying to sell: Boba's blaster on eBay
and look at the price! you could get a resin kit from starfortress for less and more accurate!
look at what this ****** is trying to sell: Boba's blaster on eBay
and look at the price! you could get a resin kit from starfortress for less and more accurate!
His items are full of false statments, He is selling a Tusken rifle that is just an inaccurate for way to much as well, and a batman begins chest emblem, which is cool but only one problem batmn begins doesnt have a chest emblem its embedded into the armor.
A. The only "blueprints" are that of a real Webley, and
B. That is a poor representation of a Webley.
The most notable innaccuracy is the lack of the MPP flash tube on the barrel tip.
exactly... what a ****** =)
I've Known Webelys, I've handled Webelys, Hell, I own a couple..... that my friends is a piece of @#$%*&@! And a bad piece of it to bat! Wait, let me pull myself off the floor, I can't stop laughing...... still laughing.... wait, wait........no, still laughing....annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd! OK I'm done
£1,500.00 for THAT!!! I feel ill!!!
I just wrote him saying IF He doesnt rewrite that I'm turning it into eBay. That IS NOT anything close to the webley in the Empire Strikes Back. I hate people that try to pawn there to bit crap as a real deal, after careful thinking I have decided He has pissed me off.
WOW! Check it out!
That my friends is what I call a REAL NICE PIECE OF S#IT!!!!
To quote a certain whiney farm boy from Tatooine:
"What a piece of junk!"
Usually, when I wake up on Monday mornings, I'm in a bad mood to begin with, and seeing this auction sent me over the top. I just sent this to the seller:
"You might want to reword your auction, as there are no 'original bluprints' to the Fett rifle. The original prop was built around a vintage Webley & Scott flare gun, it was not designed specifically for the films. In no way does the 'prop' you're trying to offload resemble the flare gun, or any screen-used Fett rifle. Any true movie prop collector knows this, and you should be ashamed for trying to sell this 'prop' for so much money. Far better, more accurate kits are available for less than a quarter of what you're asking. Good luck on your auction, but if anyone bids or wins this, then it shows that they know less about this particular prop than you do."
I'll let you know if I get a response.
Do you think that guy as actually seen any of the movies? If nothing else he certainly cheered me up.
I've just seen this right below his item on ebay
removed link
kind of makes his look even worse if that's possible

For a $2889 BIN price it should be constructed from all real parts and a real original blued Webley!! It miiight fetch such a price IFFF all those parts were original.
Yeah,...this made my Monday
Nevermind. Thanks!

SORRY :o
I forgot about the live auctions thing, so i've removed the link. Sorry again if I annoyed anyone. :o
he responded to my question:
Dear erganomulos,
You asked:
"lol... 'from actual blueprints' what a load man... if you look at pictures from the movies, you will notice that your gun does not look like the gun used by Boba. actual blueprints... ha!"
His response:
As you might know there is not just one gun that used in all of the starwars films and yes they are from the actual blueprints so I guess its lol on you.
also, look at the other crap this guy is selling... that modern art looks more like crap art, and only if you replace "art" with "hole"... so, yes, it's a crap hole.
edit: I'm a terrible speller (my girlfriend helped me spell "terrible")
I just noticed this seller also changed his user ID in the last 30 days. He may have had some rough feedback and is trying to start over...
Me- Hello, there was a recent flux of halfbaked props circulatiing around eBay, This is not a good thing and I have recently came around your auction and in the interest of the prop and costuming community I must take action so that noone will be scamed by a false representation of a product you claim to be a real Webley and scott flare gun, from its original blue prints? No such thing.
I suggest you reword your auction or eBay will be informed, and trust me You wont win.
.................................................. ....................
No answer.
... very impressive piece?!? who does this guy think he is? its looks like a lego gun made with pieces of wood you could find laying on the ground! blueprints? probably self drawn. no way that gun is worth the price he's selling it for. i feel sorry for any one who wants to buy this piece of crap!
No kidding, you could buy a complete professional Fett for that, or a Vader.
His response to me:
"thank you for your comments i think your time would be better spent washing your anarak or maybe trainspotting than insulting other peoples work if you are not interested in this item i would appreciate if you would not waste my time with your petty emails. the replica was not based around the webly gun but a much earlier concept design!! have a nice day"
So of course, I replied:
"I am absolutely not interesting in purchasing your 'prop'. My interest lies with the eBay community, and with those would might be duped by your deceptive description. You told me this item was 'based on an earlier concept', but your ad states the blueprints were used 'in the film'. Sorry, pal, but now you're back-talking. By the way, you've become a laughing stock over at the Dented Helmet, a forum for those prop collectors who know a replica Fett rifle when they see it.
And by using sarcastic language in your earlier response, you've ticked me off just enough to go ahead and report your auction to eBay. With luck, maybe you can change your user ID yet again. "
go ninja, go ninja, go!
Can you believe that attitude! Get's caught out and STILL tries to cover his back! Just goes to show eBay can be a great place for parts, but you need to keep your wits about you at all times.
OMG! That is just too funny. Im just jelous because I couldnt glue some PVC together and paint it.
He has no Webley Skills.....
I just emailed him too. If anything TDH keeps people honest on Ebay when it comes to props. LOL
My friend just emailed him and said he needed more cowbell lol.

The government of the Australian Capital Territory said it might vote against a proposed bill that would allow gay marriages even though their party supports the idea of gay marriage. Labor Minister Andrew Barr, who plans to register a civil partnership with his long term partner, Anthony Toms, said he would vote against the gay bill because his party came before his love for Tony. "I'm a minister in a government, that's the responsibility you have as a member of Cabinet and as a member of the Labor Party."
Greens are fighting to provide equality in marriage to all people in ACT. One can only assume those stories about Romeo and Juliet are not as powerful as stories about two men in love. Come on Andrew, take a fling and allow love to conquer all. So, one day a minister, and the next day a man in love who sits at home and cooks meals. Isn't that more romantic?

Hey guys looking for a few suggestions here. I have the opportunity to lease 54 acres of land for duck hunting. The land backs up to a small river and the majority of the land is flooded timber. My question is what can be done in flooded timber to attract more ducks. The guy that owns the property said there are tons of wood ducks in there and some mallards and other puddlers. The flooded timber is naturally flooded from the river and the river is very slow moving, like barely at all unless it floods. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated, I kinda need to pull the trigger on this soon. Thanks again.
Here are a couple pictures of the property.

2014 Poverty Polling Pulling Purple
Feb 05, 2014
This piece originally appeared on Spotlight on Poverty and Opportunity: The Source for News, Ideas, and Action.
Since the start of 2014, new polling suggests that when it comes to some fundamental questions about reducing poverty, many Republicans and Democrats have remarkably similar views.
Spotlight on Poverty and Opportunity not only aggregates poverty polls but highlights relevant individual questions about the subject embedded in other polls. If you haven't visited Spotlight's "Polling Place" take a quick peek now. It's one of our biggest draws—so join the crowd!
This year marks the 50th Anniversary of the War on Poverty, which President Lyndon Johnson launched in his January 8, 1964 State of the Union address. Since then in the annual SOTU, "Presidents of both parties have shown a rare, bipartisan resolve to avoid the subject," noted Jeff Shesol, former speechwriter for President Clinton, in a recent New Yorker piece entitled "The 'P' Word." While red and blue presidents may be skittish about the politics of poverty, the majority of everyday people – from both parties – are already signaling some shared views worth noting. The latest polls show that Americans are in agreement in the following key areas:
- The government should take action to reduce poverty, according to nearly two-thirds of Republicans (64 percent) and more than 9 out of 10 Democrats (94 percent).The USA Today/Pew Research Center poll specifically asked "how much if anything should the government do to reduce poverty" and Republicans responded "a lot" (27 percent) or "some" (37 percent) while Democrats answered (67 percent) and (27 percent) respectively.
- Raising the minimum wage to $10.10 per hour is supported by the majority of both Republicans (53 percent) and Democrats (90 percent), according to a USA Today/Pew Research Center poll. (A December 2013 Gallup poll which asked about support for raising the minimum to $9.00 garnered majorities from Republicans(58 percent) and Democrats (91 percent) as well).
- "No one who works full-time should ever have to raise a family in poverty," a position President Obama asserted in his State of the Union address, garnered favorable responses from participants in both parties, according to a Democracy Corps swing-voter focus group dial testing in which lines among Democrats spiked to 80 and Republican lines jumped to 60.
- The government should set a goal to cut poverty in half within 10 years,according to the vast majority of Americans (70 percent). A Center for American Progress poll found this view is shared by a majority of Democrats (89 percent), independents (66 percent), and Republicans (54 percent).
Congress has a reputation for dysfunction; the parties are both insular and isolated from each other. It is rare to find common ground. But when the public shares an opinion across the political divide, Congress needs to start paying attention.

As always, home team in CAPS.
Denver 9 Baltimore
The temperature is supposed to be 25 degrees in Denver on Saturday, and I am hearing many people saying the Ravens are going to win this game. Of course, that is coming from Patriots fans, who clearly want a possible New England home game next week. It isn't going to happen. Sure the Ravens are playing better lately, but the Broncos were the best team in the AFC for the last half of the season. The Broncos got some rest, Peyton Manning is ready, and unfortnately Ray Lewis' great career will end here.
Broncos 30-17
SAN FRANCISCO 3 1/2 Green Bay
Some are saying the 49ers are the best team in the NFC. They could be. But the best team doesn't always win. I have a feeling that the Packers are going to stay hot in the post season. Their defense isn't great, but it is enough considering Aaron Rogers is on the offensive side of the ball, with three really good receivers to go with him. I like Colin Kaepernick, but I am not sure he is good enough to get it done here. This is his first playoff game, and it will also be his last this year. I am picking the Packers in a mild upset.
Packers 27-24
ATLANTA 2 1/2 Seattle
The Seahaws are everybody's darlings, and deservedly so. Many are also picking them to win here, some easily. Not me. I like Seattle, but last week they beat Washington with a quarterback playing on one leg. The Falcons are the NFC's number one seed, and they need to act like it. They got embarassed in the playoffs last year, and if they lose at home to the number five seed after a bye week, they will be run out of town. Atlanta MUST win this game, and Matt Ryan needs to show that he is an elite quarterback. He also MUST win, or he will have the reputation of being a loser in the playoffs. Seattle is hot right now. I think the Falcons will cool them off. For their sake, they better.
Falcons 23-20
NEW ENGLAND 9 1/2 Houston
Well the Patriots destroyed the Texans a month ago, so they are going to do it again. Not so fast. It is very difficult for a team to beat another twice in one season, and this is no exception. The Patriots are healthier than last time, but so is Houston. The weather is going to be fine, so the Patriots have no advantage there. Houston is better than they played the last time, and they are very capable of winning this game. They have motivation and confidence. But that doesn't mean they are going to win. I have heard some calling a blowout, but many saying it will be a pretty close game. Houston can win, or the Patriots could totally dominate. I think it is somewhere in between. I think New England wins the game, but Houston will keep it pretty close.
Patriots 26-21
Record For Last Week: 4-0 ( 4-0 without the spread ). The opening paragraph states this very clearly.
