Choose Your Plastic Surgeon Carefully
Remember, any licensed physician is legally allowed to advertise as a "cosmetic" surgeon, even if he or she has no formal surgical training. Your body is nothing to take chances with, so avoid the risk. Selecting a board-certified plastic surgeon from this list is your assurance that your doctor has the highest quality training and advanced surgical skills.
ABPS Certification and ASAPS Membership Matters
The ABPS is recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties to certify doctors in the specialty of plastic surgery. Following medical school, ABPS-certified plastic surgeons must have completed a minimum of 5 years of surgical training, including an accredited plastic surgery residency program. Members of ASAPS must be in at least their third year of active practice following ABPS certification.

Is there such a thing? All I've ever seen in grey or rust-colored.
Does anyone have a brand name?
White primer should be commonly available. I'm sure Krylon has it, if not I have sucessfully used white body primer that you buy in any automotive parts store, i.e.: Pep Boys, ect.
I found that these sandable primers have a good "bite", sand and cover great and really have worked flawlessly on all my projects in the past, including my Fett project.
Hope that gives you a lead! :)
Thanks for the info.
I've always seen white primer for house paints, just never thought about it for spray painting projects.
No prob. :D
I usually just go down to Pep Boys and get their white sandable auto body primer. It has worked on everything so far and I also never had a problem using a different brand paint over it.
The only time I had a problem was once on my armor when I sprayed my next color using Krylon over Rustoleum... that didn't work well (paint cracked and lifted right off) so I had to put a clear coat inbetween. But for the primer.... never had a problem yet. ;)
I had really good luck w/ testors primer. It sticks very well & worked great even on my 96 DP! It does come in a variety of greys and white as well. It is a little more spendy than krylon though. Just an idea:)
Krylon and Rust-o-leum American Accents both make white primers.. I have seen them both recently at my local Walmart, however they are not always in stock so you may have to look hard for them.. The auto-body primer sounds like a good bet though.

In a recent CNBC interview, Marc Benioff, CEO of Salesforce.com, said that the future of IT will belong to those firms who are investing in social, mobile, and cloud. Then he went on to point out how well his company has invested in these areas and how poorly his rivals are investing.
In an October 22, 2011 New York Times editorial, columnist Thomas Freidman wrote about a recent visit to Silicon Valley and reported on an IT revolution "driven by the convergence of social media...with the proliferation of cheap wireless connectivity and Web-enabled smartphones and 'the cloud'..." Again: social, mobile, and cloud.
From IBM's perspective, the social-mobile-cloud sound bite is 75% correct. Cloud computing, mobile technologies, and social business are inextricably intertwined, and IBM also believes that those companies investing in these technologies will be tomorrow's IT leaders. But IBM has a more complete view of the future, and it's based on our last 100 years of success.
From the 2011 IBM CIO Study and the CMO Study, as well as several third party studies, analytics is one of the top investment areas for executives who control IT spending. The social-mobile-cloud sound bite completely misses that point. True, the cloud makes the explosive growth of analytics possible, and the explosive use of mobile and social gives everyone more to analyze, but it is an oversight to leave analytics out of a vision for what is hot now and what is driving the future.
In addition, IBM describes the future through what we call the 2015 roadmap, and it has four elements: growth markets, analytics, cloud computing, and Smarter Planet. Taken together, these initiatives encompass social business, mobility enablement, and cloud computing, and put them in the context of a global market. The roadmap is also more complete than the sound bite in that it includes a timeline and revenue targets. It's one thing to say that the future depends on investment in a few technologies, and it's another thing to publicly commit to a deadline for showing actual results from those investments.
The roadmap is not merely a technology statement. IBM's success over the last century is due in no small part to being able to nurture compelling technologies and create markets for them. We look forward to working with our partners turning these exciting new opportunities into success stories for our clients.

Wages and salaries will continually rise according to the law of supply and demand. By adopting affirmative recycling policy with declining population it is possible to achieve an ever-escalating curve of prosperity for everyone.

|DURATEC Performance (2008-2011) The place to chat about any Duratec 20 engine performance, tuning and exhaust related upgrades.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
The fswerks focus for the shoot out was ran with stock cams with the 2.3 Ford racing heads and Turbo plus other things and put down 400 HP. If you're gonna Turbo they have a complete kit to Turbo the 2.0 duratec on stock internals. I haven't seen any reviews on the durability of the kit but 11psi with the 10:1 compression isnt superhuge but I'd at least replace the gasket and get some arp head studs just to be safe.
If youre stop and go traffic I don't recommend cams or turbos either way your gas bill will increase. The only real mod I can see being drivable in town and letting it off the chain everynow and then would be a nitrous system. I have a 20 shot in my 91 rx7 other then that and exhaust I haven't bumped up the power. I still have a very tame traffic vehicle and can still play around with other people in their rides. But I would still replace the head gasket and get arp studs. And have it professionally installed so you don't blow up your motor by going lean. That was a mistake I didn't like learning.
|The issue is that I do deliveries for my Job from time to time but not far ones and not to the point where it's affecting my car. But I'm putting new lighter rims on mine and FS Werks race exhaust with my k&n intake. After that I wanted an oil cooler to remain cool in these hot days in Florida. I am thinking about a turbo with an intercooler at very low psi to not ruin the stock internals, it I have an automatic which kills on my options with mods. 😔
No idea actually I was forced to get rid of the car due to losing my job. But if you want a camshaft for you 2010 I would go with the crower cam sold by massivespeedsystems.com the cosworth worked if you don't mind a cel all the time for a cam angle sensor and not being able to start your car without having to crank and recrank and crank again and pray your next cranking is close to tdc. I'm sure power wasn't all that it could have been with the older style camshafts but it was fun. As far as driveabilty yes its a very tame camshaft but stop and go traffic ate my fuel like it was free. A lot was due to my original tune. My car was tuned for Alaska air. 0-100 foot elevations and an outside air temp that never saw more then low 90's.... ever.... so I was sucking in some pretty dense air already. So add more air and a the cam angle sensor issue I would go much leaner then I should have been and the car compensates with more gas. I would be lucky to get 19mpg in town. Good thing Alaska towns are small. I got 32 highway with the cams doing 80mph. Before the cams I was getting 35 city and 42 highway so its a big difference at $4.40/gal it got a little better when I moved to Texas to a high elevation. Less air in and less fuel was being dumped away. I got a small bump in city 22mpg. And highway dropped below 30 MPG @80mph but gas is cheaper.
So if you want cams just know you'll lose MPG but gain grinabiltiy.
Drivabilty is dependant on the person I guess. Can you put up with the drop in MPG and loud noise. Then yes its drivable with the mild cams.
But don't use the cosworths they weren't meant for the new motor. Like posted before massive sells cams made by crower that have the shutter wheel required by the 2008-11. And they are cheaper.
|How the Cosworth camshaft today, was thinking of doing this to my 2010 SES Sedan Automatic. Does it affect its everyday drivability and transmission?
Update! Sorry for the long time since I first posted this topic. But here is the nitty gritty
As far as the cosworth cams they were still in the car.
I say were beacause as of last March I had to sell the car because I lost my job. Sad is me.
But for those who have been waiting for an 08 cam they do make them now for the 08+ models. Yay us. I know massive speed systems sells them and I need to check but I'm sure they are a crower cam
Which reminds me of the saying, all good things come to he or she who waits.
For my own bragging rights even though the car is gone here's what I had done to the car.
Cosworth cams
FS werks 92 octane tune
FS Werks 2.5 inch race exhaust
FS Werks cool flow intake
AEM dry filter. (Awesome for those who don't like the oil sucked into the maf sensor)
HR lowering springs
Tokico blue dampeners
17 inch Ford racing wheels wraped in falkens
Beat my neighbors svt with cold air , exhaust and tune so I was happy
I'm going to rebuild this 91 rx7 convertible I picked up so I'm not gonna be doing a focus for a while. But I plan on visiting this site still
R they doing new cams?
Posted via FF Mobile
|The guys from Crower said that their cams would work in our generation foci
|You should document this! And dyno to see what power you make afterwards, what supporting mods do you have?
I wonder how feasible it would be to make a ferrous trigger wheel that could bolted/welded onto the end of a 2003-2007 camshaft that had the trigger wheel grounded down.
That is the easiest thing I can think of short of paying for a custom grind.
|Call LSM, they will usually make any billet camshaft you want. http://www.lsmeng.com/

I probably have THE most boring job here. I'm an Air Conditioning Duct Mechanic. Basically, I run jobs from time to time, but most of the time I install sheet metal ductwork on commercial job sites. Right now, I'm working at a local college on remodeling the Fine Arts building (the EXACT same stage I sang on when I went to that college 12 years ago.)
All this talk about going back to school (and working at the college) has made me want to go back. :) So, probably this weekend, I'm enrolling in an online film school!:thumbsup

I just don't want to see anyone get hurt again. I care about you guys.
Interesting game Sunday. 1. Lions haven't won in Green Bay since 1991, Our magical 12 win season. 2. Lions haven't been formidable since...missing playoffs, or bowing out quietly. 3. Packers have been playoff regulars since...with much playoff success. 4. Packers have 7 injured players returning for this game. 5. Packers had the bye week as extra time to prepare. So why does Nemo pick the Lions......... because he likes picking underdogs.......
Tron's knee must still be hurting him.
He messed up his knee-cap in preseason ! By the way, where did that Upton commercial air ? HBO, Playboy channel Surprised Scoe didn't take it down !
I never saw the commercial before. It's on U-tube. Although highly suggestive...it seemed no worse that the Victoria Secret ads I've seen.
ooops...didnt know Calvin wasnt playing today...make that 10-6 Packers
dont u just love Chris Houston?????
I don't mind him. He's by far the best corner we have. He had a rough game today though, no question. He'd be the perfect #2 corner with Mathis as the nickel. Unfortunately, we don't have a #1 corner on the roster. We're still a couple of players away from making some real noise: C, #1 CB & WR would be my top 3 needs. It's hard to believe that with all of the WRs we've drafted in the top 3 rounds in the past decade that it's one of the biggest needs on this team.
I'm just glad we held them to 22. I didn't want the do get abused. we'll have our way Thanksgiving
The Lions reign of idiocy never ceases to amaze me. Dominic Raiola of Detroit Lions accused of verbally abusing University of Wisconsin band members - ESPN
We've always known Dom is a lousy person. Also a real meathead who doesn't play smart.
The city of Detroit is easy to root for. The Lions are hard to root for. ...I've been conflicted on this for quite a while now.
I love you man.
I guess that's why there's an Eagle's thread.
The Lions lost me when they cut Titus Young.
Man, I wish the Lions lost me. There would be so much more joy in my life, or at least lest torture.
Lions' Nate Burleson back on practice field, without arm cast | The Detroit News

TAMPA, Fla. – Trailing 3-1 in the second quarter, a 14-goal tear set the tone for the rest of the game as No. 4 Limestone (1-0, 0-0 CC) demolished southern foe Tampa (1-1, 1-0 DSC) by a 17-5 score in an NCAA Division II men's lacrosse game on Friday, February 15. The Spartans entered the game receiving votes in the USILA National Poll.
Senior attack Riley Loewen (Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada) exploded for three goals and three assists, converting on all but one of his four shots, while freshman midfielder Vinny Ricci (Port Moody, British Columbia, Canada) scored the first three goals of his career, adding an assist, four groundballs and a caused turnover.
Senior attack Corey Rich (Sacramento, Calif.) came away with a pair of scores, three assists and two groundballs and junior attack Todd Nakasuji (Ajax, Ontario, Canada) and senior midfielder Zach Cummings (Crownsville, Md.) each had two goals and an assist. Freshman attack Kyle Rhatigan (Holbrook, N.Y.) also added a pair of scores in his first collegiate action.
Senior goalkeeper Christian Dzwileski (Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y.) started and played 59:21 in between the pipes, registering nine saves and allowing just four goals to pick up the win and move to 1-0 on the season.
Expected to be a defensive and low scoring contest despite offseason rule changes to change that, the game lived up to that billing through the first 30 minutes. UT's Nick Ferreiro got the Spartans on the board with an unassisted goal at the 9:28 mark to make it 1-0 before the Saints Zach Cummings answered with the equalizer after just 31 seconds.
After deadlocking at 1-1 after the first 15 minute, Greg Griffo put Tampa ahead 3-1 when he converted a man-up goal off a pass from Joey McMahan at 13:15 and the scored on an even strength attempt with 10:50 left in the half.
That offensive outburst would be the last the Spartan's offense would be heard from over the next 30-plus minutes. Beginning with 5:58 on the clock, Limestone scored three straight as Cummings and Ricci found the back of the net on man-up attempts at 5:58 and 3:03, respectively, and Loewen drilled an even strength goal to give them lead, 4-3, with 1:04 on the clock. That would be the narrow margin they would take into the half.
The margin, however, could not be described as anything approaching "narrow" after just several minutes of play in the second half. Starting with those three to end the first half, the Saints scored 14 consecutive goals to build an insurmountable 15-3 lead with 5:54 remaining in the game.
The second half portion of that incredible stretch kicked off when Loewen found Nakasuji for a goal just seven seconds into the third quarter and senior midfielder Tor Reinholdt (Port Moody, British Columbia, Canada) followed with his first of the season at 12:18 to make it 6-3. Another man-up goal by Ricci with 9:02 left in the third left Limestone with a 7-3 lead that they would carry into the fourth.
In that final quarter, the Saints erupted for 10 goals, scoring five in a span of 4:10 beginning at the 13:02 mark and ending at 8:52. Back-to-back man-down goals and a third from Loewen capped off the 14-goal tear as Tampa's Nate Tembi broke through to snap their drought at the 5:46 mark. Two more Saints goals gave them their total of 17 while UT's Andrew Smith found the back of the net with 39 seconds to play to reach the final margin.
Greg Griffo's two second period goals led the way for the Spartans' offensively while Nate Tembi, Andrew Smith and Nick Ferreiro each had one score. Ferreiro added a game-high six groundballs and Larry Gress had four. Joseph Fiorucci started and played 56:27, allowing 15 goals while making five saves to fall to 1-1 on the season.
Limestone continues its season opening road trip to the State of Florida as they take on Saint Leo on Sunday, February 17. Face off for that contest is set for 12 p.m.
Limestone is now 2-0 all-time against Tampa … the Saints won the only other meeting last season, 13-7, on March 4, 2012 in Gaffney, S.C.

Hello Doctors,
In episode #1 of Twip Dr. Despommier mentioned the gap between protozoans and nematodes with respect parasitism. I wonder if this claim takes into account the fish parasite Buddenbrockia plumatellae. Because its body is vermiform it was long thought to be a worm, but my understanding is that recent DNA analysis revieils it to be of the class cnidarian like jellyfish, hydra and sea anemones. This means, again by my understanding, that it is a parasite which falls between the aforementioned gap.
I am not a scientist and I might be misinterpreting the data. I discovered Buddenbrockia plumatellae while randomly following links on the Tree of Life Web Project. After reading the entry on this little guy I was struck by the idea that the body and behavior of a worm evolved in parallel in two separate organisms; I was also struck by the more general and somewhat eerie feeling that natural forms conceal more diversity and history than we are always able to know. I have read for instance that the complete extinction of one species or another of butterfly may have been obscured by the relative health of a neighboring species of butterfly with identical markings.
Anyway. Thanks you so much for your podcast and for giving interested people like myself an opportunity to learn from experts.

Hello TWIP!
I love the podcast!! I just read an article in the July/August issue of Mental Floss Magazine. The article talked about the research into a possible Malaria vaccine. The article focused on the research being done by Dr. Stephen Hoffman but it said work is also being do by others. Can you talk about the prospect of a vaccine for a parasite.

Hello Sirs,
I am writing for a couple of reasons.
First is to tell you I really like both the podcasts.
I'm just an ordinary nobody with only what science I picked up in high school and threw reading. I have picked up a lot more thanks to you. You make it very interesting even for those of us not in the "know".
Second and the reason for the subject line. Please please please let people know they can also get your podcast with a podcatcher. I don't use itunes I use Juice podcatcher. I found your podcasts on feedburner and twiv.tv. I believe you would get more listeners if they realized they can find and download your podcast with a podcatcher.

Mosquito: The Story of Man's Deadliest Foe by Michael D'Antonio, Dr
Andrew Spielman 2002
(for £4)
However, in the latest episode of TWIP you recommended:
The Fever by Sonia Shah (for £13)
which you say you have not yet read.
And then, following your advice, I headed on over to Meet the
Scientist to listen to the episode with Prof. Irwin Sherman, only to
find that he has written a book on Malaria (among others):
The Elusive Malaria Vaccine: Miracle or Mirage by Irwin W. Sherman
(for £28)
He also seems to have a new book out on the 1st Oct:
Magic Bullets to Conquer Malaria by Irwin W. Sherman (for £28)
So my request to Prof Despommier would be, once you have read Sonia
Shah's book (if you intend to), please advise your loyal listeners
which one book on Malaria out of the many available you would
I am looking forward to your forthcoming episode on Malaria with Dr
Knirsch to learn even more.
You often say that such-and-such a friend or acquaintance of yours
would be a great guest - but they don't materialise!
I DON'T CARE you 2 guys together are all I need.
Live long and podcast!

You asked us to design an experiment to confirm, if toxoplasmosis indeed increases the probability of mice being eaten in the wild. The constraint was that we shouldn't influence the behavior of the mice in any way.
What about if we measure cats instead?
We could take 2 remote islands. On one there would be no mice or cats infected with toxoplasmosis, on the other toxoplasmosis would be prevalent. Both islands would be habitable for mice, and would not have any natural predators for them (except cats, which we also would introduce). Also, besides mice, both islands wouldn't have any food for cats.
What we would measure would be the amount of fat the cats would have accumulated during the summer. If indeed toxoplasmosis increases the probability of mice being eaten, we should be able to detect statistically significant difference in the mass of fat, accumulated by cats on both islands.

Hello Vince and Dick...
You guys are the foundation of my razor sharp knowledge on Parasitism and Viruses in my class. I hated it but I gave away the secret to my knowledge to other students in the class they are all subscribers now.
I am originally from India so I would love to tell you guys how to say Kala Azar (Black Fever). I would love to tell Dr. Despommier as his narration is impeccable and our king deserves every jewel in his crown.
It is said Kah-La like La La not Kay-la like Layla... Kay La means Banana in India.
Azar is said like Uh-Zur.... Uh from Uh-Oh and Zur from Leisure, Teaser, Seizure.
everybody writes quite formal emails... so i should say, you guys are totally RAD.
Hey Prof. Vince I am not smart enough to enter contests now but I will compete for Drobo by the time they have a neural chip.
Dr. Vince if possible please explain us any Virus Origin Hypothesis on Twiv.. sorry if I missed them on any podcast.

Keep up the good work with the TWIV and TWIP podcasts!

Dear Dickson and Vincent,
While listening to TWIP episode 15 "Tryp the light fantastic" Dickson referred to Rhodesia as being named after the Dutchman Rhodes.
Cecil Rhodes was certainly not Dutch. See if you can guess where he was from based on the following quotation, courtesy of wikipedia;
"Remember that you are an Englishman, and have consequently won first prize in the lottery of life."
Thank you for the wonderful TWIP episodes so far. Our research group recently started a programme looking at the impact of IRS on malaria in an area around Lake Victoria. Its a 21h drive from where I am based and we got through many, many episodes of TWIP and TWIV so far during the drive! Makes the time fly by.
Long live TWIP and TWIV!

India Slumps On Supreme Court Ruling: Oversold?
Indian coal, mining and bank stocks fell for a second day after India's Supreme Court ruled the coal-mining licenses issued between 1993 and 2010 were illegal.
Reliance Power (532939-BOM) led the loss with 7.3% decline, after yesterday's 4.1% loss. Jindal Steel (532286-BOM) dropped 7.1% in addition to yesterday's 14% slump. Tata Power (500400-BOM) dipped 6.8% in two days. Yes Bank (532648-BOM) fell another 2.7%.
On Monday in New York, ICICI Bank (IBN) fell 1.5%. Sesa Sterlite (SSLT) slumped 4.6%. Banks fell because they carried credit risk from financing to the coal projects. The iShares MSCI India ETF (INDA) rose 0.1%.
The stocks may have been oversold however, because the Supreme Court's decision is not clear-cut, nor final, analysts say.
J.P. Morgan said the key date to watch would be September 1:
This is not the final verdict in our view, the next one is most critical: the door has not yet been shut completely in our view. The next hearing on whether the coal blocks need to be 'de-allocated (cancelled) or not is more important as it could also likely include potential redressal steps for those blocks which are currently under production (e.g., JSPL's and HNDL's coal blocks) but have been termed as illegal. The hearings would start September 1.
And that the Supreme Court reaffirmed that auction would not be the only mechanism for natural resource allocation and it is within the executive branch's right to allocate coal blocks:
SC says again that auction is not the only mechanism for natural resource allocation and the government is within its rights to allocate coal blocks. The SC has again reiterated that auction is not the only mechanism for natural resource allocation and importantly has highlighted that 'the administrative decision of the Gov't not to pursue competitive bidding cannot be said to be so arbitrary or unreasonable warranting judicial interference.'
But that the coal licenses were illegal nonetheless because there were no clear rules to base the assignments on:
Then why have the coal blocks been termed illegal?: The SC has ruled that the entire process of allocation through Screening Committee route did not follow any objective criteria, there was no evaluation of merit and no comparison of applicants, with the determination seen as subjective. The SC highlights that the 'entire process of allocations in 36 meetings suffered from arbitrariness. The approach was ad-hoc and casual, with no fair and transparent procedure, all resulting in unfair distribution of national wealth. Common good and public interest suffered heavily and hence the allocation of coal blocks made in all the 36 meetings is illegal'.
Since the Supreme Court stopped short of directly cancelling all coal licenses, that means there is room for legal arbitration and negotiation, commented Nomura Securities:
As the SC order stops short of directing a blanket de-allocation of the 218 coal blocks allocated by Screening Committees / Government dispensation, and deems that a further hearing is required on this matter, the penal action (i.e. consequences) may not be uniform and possibly take into account a few case-specific factors including status of coal production.

Discussion in 'January 2007' started by max, Jan 27, 2007.
Indiana Jan 28th 6:30 PM tv: FSN
Well, we can look forward to a highly motivated Tay. He seems to ALWAYS go off on the Dunleavy kid.
We better win this one at home or else I am going to lose faith in this team (the very little I have left).
Tinsley usually goes off against Billups, so lets hope he pulls a groin or gets caught shooting a pistol in a strip club or something... Since the trade, the Pacers have looked pretty good from what I have seen. Webber and Wallace will have their hands full with Murphy and O'Neal. It would be nice for Tay to step up and score 30. Maybe necessary. They still don't have anyone to check Rip Hamilton running off of screens.
Pistons 97-83
I say 90-78. Detroit of course.
If Detroit loses this game, it's time for a shakeup. This is the second of a back to back with the 2nd game on the road for the Pacers. The Pistons have had some time to digest a tough Friday night loss and they've already dropped two to Indiana. Tailor made for a Piston W.
The Pacers come to town as their old inconsistent selves. Lose three win two, lose two, win three. Overall they are not playing that bad. JO has been on a tear, and the youngster, Granger has been huge on both ends of the floor. Coming off three staright wins over the Bulls, Heat and Toronto they will not come and give up at the Palace. I can`t honestly say I think the Pistons will win this game........
Nah the Pistons can beat the Pacers if they play at their best level. I think the Pistons are going to bring their A game today. Two straight losses at the Palace is just not going to cut it...
Chat is scheduled to open at 6:00 PM. I may be away, but will check in to make sure chat is available tonight.
Hope the Pistons bring their A game. It used to be a time not long ago when I didn't even have to give it a second thought about who would win this game. Now a days, I can say I honestly don't know. We do owe them some payback, then on Tuesday they have the Wizards and they also are owed payback for the friday night debacle. I am just hoping that we make a trade shake up things a bit, getting too comfortable.
Just bring the A defense and keep them out of the paint and keep the turnovers to a minimum. In our last lost to the Pacers we had 19 TO's and let flu bugged O'neal get off for 25 pt and 13 boards. In the loss prior to that we allowed them 38 points in the paint an O'neal got off 26 pts and 14 boards in that one. Stop him and let one of the outher guys beat us. Believe it or not stats here: In terms of defense the Pistons have lost only one game where they held the opponent under 90 points (a 88-87 loss to Portland) All other teams that failed to score 90 vs the Pistons have walked away losers, so the defense has to hold and offense cannot afford any end of the half let downs ot half quarter scoring droughts. Also Pistons are 1-4 vs their divisonal foes this season beating the Cavs and losing twice to the Pacers and one each to the Bulls and Bucks. Got to turn this around today. Our next lost will match last season's total.
First half review Billups: excellent shooting... good defensive effort to startr the game quickly faded off... got torched by Tinsley after Hunter let him heat up Hamilton: bad shooting... unselfish... forced up some shots against the zone... gambled too much on defense but generally effective Prince: typically soft and slow... he gets beaten off the dribble... he gets beaten off cuts... he's slow to make rotations... his best defensive effort of the night was a showboat block during a dead ball... he refuses to even think about rebounding... he might be the worst rebounder over 6-7 I've ever seen... he hit a few open jumpshots and missed some layups... he couldn't hold his position on the block... the $50 million invisible man Wallace: good energy on defense... foul trouble... didn't get the ball when he asked for it on the block... missed some jumpshots... aggressive game Webber: keeps on missing that jumphoook... decent but typically slow defense... quick hands... excellent rebounding Hunter: I can't say enough about how awful this man was... he shut down the offense... he forced up awful shots... he played his typically bad pick-and-roll defense... McDyess: extremely aggressive on offense and rebounding... good effort on defense, but picked up fouls as usual Delfino: stayed too far off his man... stayed with Granger through screens, but bit on a ball fake... passive offensively against the zone Davis: got called for some fouls... got stripped while gathering himself for a dunk Maxiell: missed a shot... got a good defensive rebound... good anticipation for a steal... got a block... got a foul... subsequently yanked... got to the FT line in his second stint on an aggressive dunk attempt Flip Saunders: experimenting with rotations... kept Hunter at point guard even after putting Billups back in
Ugly game--------but at least Webber is coming on strong now.
Second half review: Billups: generally good decision-making... defense not great... Hamilton: kept on missing shots Prince: found new ways to suck on defense... ineffective at the top of the zone... held the ball and forced bad shots on offense Wallace: a very good game... excellent post offense... hit a 3... phenomenal defense... made an effort on the boards Webber: excellent rebounding... good effort on defense... slow-footed but solid... made some terrific ball-fakes... missed some easy shots but made a number of tipins McDyess: fouled some... excellent rebounding... missed a lot of shots Maxiell: missed another shot... fouled quite a bit... no more rebounding after his first Hunter: did his level best to lose the game singlehandedly... made Will Blalock look almost competent by comparison... his defense wasn't spectacular... an overly aggressive double led to an open 3... ground the offense to a halt... pounded the ball around like Arroyo but didn't take any open perimeter shots Delfino: played excellent man and help defense... his one offensive move resulted in a hack and a turnover... no points or rebounds... remains extremely ineffective playing the 3 position, especially with Lindsey at point guard Davis: got blocked again while trying to get off the ground... defense good but foul prone... went after slashers Flip Saunders: kept going to the zone... did a great job of getting the ball to Rasheed on the block for once... discarded the flex BS and went straight to actual basketball techniques of quick entry off of cross-screens in the lane and pin-downs and ball reversal... put Hunter back in the game
Tough win, some sloppiness caused us to lose our leads, but we closed out against an underrated Indiana team. Highpoints: Sheed- took some 3s, made some 3s, but mostly stayed in the post and abused the Pacers weak front line. Amazing defense, can't ask much more from Sheed. Hope that twist he took on his ankle doesn't linger. CWebb- good rebounding, good dirty work down low, and some great defense, can't ask much more from CWebb and he played great, alot of heart. Dice- Awesome first half, played his heart out down low, so-so second half but still was effective. hope his back is ok from that monster fall he took. Low points- Chauncey- needs to move the ball around more and get his assists up. 5-6 or a game wont cut it, need 8-10. Tayshaun- some good moves to the basket but very inconsistent and some suspect lateral D on the top of the key / perimeter. JMax- he had some oppurtunities but didnt make a single shot from what i remember. True, he didnt play much, but he should have made at least one of those shots. Decent d, but good energy. Flip- not doing a good job with the subs, decent play calling to feed the post, but needs to manage games better. Overall, not a bad win, but not a great forceful win. Its good we got a central division win tho. Lets hope we can stay strong and beat the Wiz tuesday to get atop the east. Also, its become very apparent we need a bench scorer, right nows its Dice and a hit or miss Jmax, we need a combo guard who can score and pass. Agree/disagree? GO PISTONS!
Agree on needing another scoring threat. Or someone to feed Maxiell down low the way we fed Sheed tonight.
As I stated earlier today, if we hold them under 88, we WIN. Keep up defense and Flip play Webber at the right time when it counts.... 17 pts-13 boards, 3 dimes and 3 blocks. Where were you when we needed earlier buddy... If flip knew how to substitute better, we wouldn't have these nailbiters. Two big leads of 15 in the first qtr and 16 in the 3rd and we blow them because Flip doesn't know when to mix up his bench with his starters. Still a win and we needed it.
Tough win, but a win is a win. Rasheed played great in the post today and hit a big three. Chauncey did good going to the line and managing the offense. Rip missed a lot of shots but at least he got 20+ points. Chris Webber played phenomenal probably his best or second best game with the Pistons. Antonio McDyess played with a lot of energy and got 13 points. Tayshaun Prince needs to be able to penetrate he only had 6 points. Rasheed Wallace with 5 points and Chris Webber with 3. Nothing more to ask from Sheed and Webber. Prince needs to do better in order for us to get easier wins. We only had 8 turnovers pretty good and although we were outrebounded we had 18 offensive boards.
Another non-factor night for Tay. 6 points, 2 boards, 2 assists in nearly 39 minutes. No fouls, no steals, no blocks, no energy. Very disappointing.

Senator Hillary Clinton continued chugging along as the famous little train does in the children's story as she edged her way to the top of the Pennsylvania hill only to gaze downward in anticipation of more hurdles to overcome. The New York senator is flush with a smile of a ten point victory over Barack Obama that provided her renewed incentive to move ahead in an election heading for a deadlocked Democratic convention this summer. Senator Obama will undoubtedly win the North Carolina primary in two weeks which means there will not be a perceptible difference in his delegate and overalll vote lead in the Democratic race for the presidential nomination.
Reality is that a sudden lurch of super delegates to Clinton would anger young voters and the black voting community and without that group making a switch, Senator Clinton has absolutely no way to secure sufficient delgate votes to obtain the nomination. In a sense, she continues the Clinton self-destruct pattern of her husband Bill whose only thought of his own victory made him willing to sacrifice the Democratic party to electoral defeat.
The morning after victory, Senator Clinton is down to about $9 million in her bank account(with $10 million in debts) while Obama is secure with over $30 million to be spent on the next campaigns in Indiana and North Carolina.
The real question is why does Senator Clinton continue a campaign she cannot win? Why does she remain in a fight that delights Republican Senator John McCain? Why has she resorted to personal invective toward her fellow Democrat Barack Obama and presented the Republican Party with one after another points to use in the November election? What makes Hillary run other than a sense of self destruction, not for her personal self, but for the Democratic Party? Today, her train chugged upward to gain a hill, tomorrow her train plunges downward in pursuit of a John McCain triumph.
One possible scenario is a deadlocked convention in which neither of the two front runners gains a victory as delegates turn elsewhere in search of a third party who can united the party and gain victory in November.

Red Foxes
A 1961 meeting marked the adoption of the Red Foxes as the official nickname and mascot. Athletic Director Brother William Murphy decided to organize a varsity basketball team to play scheduled games against other schools and thought a nickname and logo would be appropriate. While glancing at a sports magazine, Br. Murphy noticed a reynard, more commonly known as a red fox, on the cover of the book. The red fox was indigenous to the Hudson River Valley, making it a perfect fit for Marist. He decided this fury little creature was to become the mascot and logo of Marist College teams. The Reynard was a cunning, intelligent character in a set of stories from Medieval France.
Because the term Reynard was so uncommon, Brother Murphy chose to call the team the "Red Foxes". Although the football team briefly changed their name to the "Vikings" during the early 1970s, the Red Fox has been the college mascot from 1961 until the present. In the 1960s and early 1970s, the Red Fox was pictured wearing a sailor's hat. This was due to the fact that the sailing team won the ECAC championship during the 1960s and was the dominant Marist sports team at the time.
School Colors - Red & White
The red and white college colors are derived from the coloration of the fox. The Red Fox is most commonly a rusty red, with a white underbelly, black ear tips and legs and a bushy tail.
New Look for the Red Foxes
The Marist Athletics Department unveiled its new family of logos on June 19, 2008 in a press conference at the McCann Center.
The main reason for this project was to build a recognizable Marist brand using the unique characteristics of the Red Fox logo that have been part of the Marist tradition for a number of years. The objective was to incorporate the Marist name into the logo so that sports fans across the country could identify the Red Foxes with Marist. With the success of many of Marist's Division I teams on the national level, it was important to create a brand that showcased not only the Red Fox and "M", but the Marist name, which was not included in the previous logo.
The purpose of this project was not to eliminate the old Red Fox logo. The goal was to enhance the current logo in order to build a more recognizable Marist brand. The Marist Athletics Department began working with Phoenix Design Works based in New York City on January 18, 2008 to design a family of logos that now serve as the foundation of the Marist Athletics brand.
A new family of logos was created for the Athletics Department's use on apparel, printed materials, digital applications and merchandise. Varsity sports, club sports, spirit groups and various departments now have their own "sports specific" logo. The new family of logos also includes traditional collegiate marks that will be featured on Marist Athletics apparel.

Who knew?
Oh-oh... damage? My bad!
How would I find out or detect if I damaged something by running two pcv's? Could that be the cause of the high-revs at idle? I'll straighten out the tubing situation before we run it again...
Oh, and when we started it again for a few minutes yesterday, there was a strange sound from the left-hand side, like fast pulses of air at high pressure across the edge of sheet metal... I wondered if it was an exhaust manifold gasket problem. Better check that out, too... Since I ran it with two PCV's, I might have done in the valve cover gasket on that side?
Fiscus wrote: "If its idling high you might have a vaccum leak somewhere, or you could be on the fast-idle on the carb. " What does that mean, "on the fast-idle"?
I can search for a vacuum leak, but I think I'll fix that PCV valve issue first: it might be resulting in what the carb sees as a vacuum leak, since they are both plumbed in together...
oh, and thanks for the pics, half-ounce!
Like the others have said, you need ONLY ONE PCV valve. If you run two, it will eventually suck a gasket into the innards of the engine somewhere.
There may be more than one filtered fitting on the aircleaner IF the engine originally came with an A.I.R. pump. They drew air from inside the air cleaner housing before going into the pump.
sounds like you are getting there, just please delete one PCV before you do some damage.
|The pcv valve should plug into the fat fitting 3/8" at the base of the carb the vent would go in the opposite valve cover so it could suck fresh air through the engine to the pcv valve. without the vent the pcv system will NOT work correctly... the vent can be of various type one being a tube that runs to a little filter that is mounted in the breather..another type would be like one of them chrome filter vents that plugs into the valve cover the one that is opposite side of the pcv valve.... Found a pic of the vent tube
|If its idling high you might have a vaccum leak somewhere, or you could be on the fast-idle on the carb. You only need one pcv valve, ditch the second one and put in a breather.
lots of funky things
Yeah, there is a lot of funky things about this engine, but it certainly has a grommetted hole in each valve cover! There are two filtered plastic fittings into the air cleaner, as is often used with PCV's, but the diagram for this car doesn't show them, nor does it show anything fitting to the air cleaner.
Ah well, I'll just skip that for a bit, unless you have pics? Next we need to get the oil and filter changed, and then check out why it is revving so high at idle.
|You should only have 1 pcv valve in the opposite valve cover you should have a vent of some sort. The factory used a tube with a 90 degree bend that went from the right hand valve cover aka pass side to the breather.
It's alive!
Okay, we got it started! You shoulda seen the smile on my 14 year old's face when his Elky started up for the first time!
Broke it in for 20 minutes, now we are draining the oil and changing the filter, then going to try to figure out why it is idling real fast...
More this weekend!
Thanks everyone!
Distributor gasket, and wiring shield?
Hey, I've got a few questions about things that are baffling me:
The gasket kit came with a fiber ring that is evidently intended to be a gasket for the distributor. I've heard that sometimes they need to be shimmed to mesh correctly with the drive gear and oil pump shaft: how do you tell if it needs one or not? Aren't they supposed to be able to fit without a gasket? I am using an Edelbrock Performer intake: does that affect this issue?
Also, there is a metal tube about 5 or 6 inches long that the starter wires pass through. It is evidently a shield to keep the wires safe from the nearby exhaust pipes. Does anyone know where that mounts, or better yet, have any pics to show where it mounts??
Oh, and what's the best way to prime the fuel pump, carb and lines before starting the engine? The tank is currently bone dry, so we will have to get the fuel clear up front to the carb before we try starting. Any tips on making this easier?
Thanks, everyone!
-Joel R.
2 PCV's
As near as I can tell, the rocker covers are stock. They have brackets on them for mounting the wiring harness clips in, and they are pretty specific. I did install them on the wrong sides, but I'll make it work.
There won't be any problems, running two PCV's, will there? It seems like this would only increase the positive features of the PCV system, but is there something else I don't know about, if I have two PCV's?
Also: I thought PCV's were supposed to be run into the air filter housing, instead of through the little vacuum tubes to the carb?? The diagram shows the PCV being hooked up to the vacuum lines.
Anyway, thanks, and I'll post again after we start it (hopefully, Tuesday eve!)
glad to hear ive helped you out, i wish you luck in getting her fired up !
|Cape Cod Bob
|I just read this thread and hope to find out how u made out staring up. keep us posted. oops, sorry.
Thanks, Dale
Hey, Good guess! We found the emissions routing tag on the fan shroud, and it is indeed a YCL. Same diagram as the one you posted.
Funny, my son's car has TWO PCV valves, one in each valve cover.... We just plumbed them together into the same vacuum port, and ignored the EFE and its related TVS, since we don't have the smog pump.
The "vac motor" that is mounted on the intake nozzle to the air cleaner housing connects to the heat riser built into the shroud on the right hand exhaust manifold with a flexible metal tube. (As shown on the diagram), but I can't find the EFE. I don't know what it looks like, but there aren't any other components left to hook up to.
Oh! Unless it is that metal valve in between the RH exhaust manifold and the y-pipe! That makes sense: it had some sort of vacuum device attached to it. I took that off and pitched it, since it was mostly frozen and half destroyed.
Well, I think that answers all of our questions: now we're off to finish fishing wires around the engine compartment, so we can try and start the new engine. Thank you SO MUCH for your help, Dale!
EFE = Exhaust Fume Efficiency valve, also known as the heat riser valve on the right hand exhaust manifold. when cold, it keeps the right hand exhaust manifold closed to allow in speedy heating of the choke stove tube for the choke.
all of the vacuum diagrams i have show the PCV on the left hand side. either side doesnt matter, as long as its plumbed the same way as shown.
yes, the Air Management Valve is for the smog pump. its a valve that comes directly off one of the smog pump tubes. if youre missing some of the smog (A.I.R.) plumbing, you can either replace all of it (if emissions in your state require it to be there) or remove all of it and plug the exhaust manifolds with steel pipe plugs. a friend of mine has an 85ish Bonneville with a 305 and all of the smog equipment is capped off. it passed Texas emissions (which is only a visual inspection in my area) although for my car, they failed me for not having an EGR valve in place.
also, the EFE TVS and Purge TVS are Thermal Vacuum Switches, also known as ported vacuum switch. these are color specific as for what temperature they operate. through my own research, ive concluded that the Yellow = EFE, Purple = EGR, and Blue = Distributor.
as for the rest of the diagrams, they all look to be similar in routing, with only component location being different.
if you look at the upper left hand corner of the pic i posted, it says YCL. this is the emissions label identification. if you still have the original fan shroud, thats where the decal would be located. do you, by chance know what the code is for your vehicle ?
as for the diagrams, im getting them straight from my Chiltons manual for 78-87 GM midsize vehicles.
im glad i could be of assistance to you. holler back if you need more help.
6 others???
Wow! Okay, questions: what's an EFE, as listed on the diagram? That diagram looks like it might work, but it only shows the lefthand PCV valve. I assume the righthand one just tees in at the same point?
The Air Management Valve: is that for the smog pump? The smog pump and associated plumbing are missing, except for the righthand exhaust manifold still has the AIR tubes in place... I'm wondering what to do about this, too....
Actually, I won't know if that diagram works till I'm out in the heat (103 expected!) tomorrow. But the tubes that I have already identified appear to be the same configuration. What are the differences with the other 6 diagrams? And why so many configurations? Ergh.
Anyway, thanks for the help! And so fast, too! Dude!
if this isnt quite right, lemme know, there are 6 other schematics for an 86 305.

Second Half Defense Leads Phoenix to Win in League Opener
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – With its second-half defense forcing nine turnovers and limiting Cleveland State (8-7, 0-1 HL) to just 30 percent shooting, Green Bay (10-3, 1-0 HL) outscored the visiting Vikings 43-26 after intermission and won its fifth-straight game with a 66-55 victory in its Horizon League opener on Thursday night at the Resch Center.
Trailing 29-23 at halftime, Green Bay used a 9-0 run early in the second half to go in front with 13:11 to play, and the hosts never trailed the rest of the way. CSU shot just 10-of-30 from the field and committed nine turnovers in the second half as the Phoenix swatted five shots and tallied six steals. The nation's second-best shot blocking team finished with eight blocks and eight steals.
The Phoenix featured terrific balance on Thursday night, with senior Alec Brown (Winona, Minn.) totaling 17 points, seven rebounds and five blocked shots to lead the team. Sophomore Jordan Fouse (Racine, Wis.) scored a season-best 15 points and added seven boards, five assists and three steals, and junior Keifer Sykes (Chicago, Ill.) added 15 points.
Green Bay's lead was 58-52 with 1:56 to play after CSU's Marlin Mason knocked down a three-pointer. After a timeout called by head coach Brian Wardle, Fouse found the 5-foot-11 Sykes on a backdoor cut for a flush in the lane. The two teams traded 1-for-2 trips to the free throw line before Fouse had a steal and a monster dunk for the dagger and a 63-53 lead.
For Fouse, his best offensive game of the season complimented another strong defensive effort, as the 6-foot-7 sophomore played impressively atop the Green Bay zone defense in the second half. Cleveland State's top two scorers – guards Bryn Forbes (17.6) and Trey Lewis (13.8) – combined for just 19 points on 6-of-27 shooting from the field and 2-of-15 from long range.
The Phoenix finished the game shooting an efficient 55 percent from the field (22-40) and 5-of-12 from long range. After committing eight turnovers in the first half, Green Bay had nine assists and just four miscues after halftime.
Green Bay returns to its home court on Saturday, hosting Youngstown State at 1 p.m.

Why Everyone Thinks John Mayer's New Song Is About Taylor Swift
John Mayer's new single "Paper Doll" was released on Tuesday, and immediately, speculation began that the song was John's response to Taylor Swift's alleged song about him, "Dear John." Why? Let's look at the evidence.
First of all, people are pointing to the line in "Paper Doll" where John sings "Here's a dress of gold and blue/sure was fun being good to you." This is significant, they say, because in "Dear John," Taylor referred to herself as "the girl in the dress."
Next, in the chorus, John sings, "You're like 22 girls in one/ And none of them know what they're running from." Not only did Taylor release a song called "22" not long ago, but in "Dear John," she sings, "I'll look back and regret how I ignored when they said run as fast as you can."
Finally, in "Paper Doll," John sings, "And if those angel wings don't fly/ Someone's gonna paint you another sky." People say this is an answer to Taylor's line in "Dear John" where she sings, "You paint me a blue sky and go back and turn it to rain."
Of course, all of this is pure guesswork. Taylor herself won't even admit that "Dear John" is about John, and called him "presumptuous" in Glamour magazine for thinking that it was. Last year, John told Rolling Stone that "Dear John" "humiliated" him.
"It made me feel terrible," he said at the time. "Because I didn't deserve it. I'm pretty good at taking accountability now, and I never did anything to deserve that. It was a really lousy thing for her to do." He added, "It's abusing your talent to rub your hands together and go, 'Wait till he gets a load of this!'"

Ok, lots of gents have requested I repost this here, so here ya go. It is an overview of body armor MATERIALS, rather than specific manufacturers. I have been designing and building armor for more than 14 years, so have a fair amount of experience creating and destroying all sorts of bullet stopping goodies. I will add to this as needed, and as people request. If you have any questions, please let me know. If I don't have the answer, I will tell you so, and see if I can get it for you. I am not the ultimate expert on this, just have a strong fondness (my wife calls it something else) for armor.
Updated 2-27-14: Check out my armor blog at http://www.drmorgear.wordpress.com for updates, tests, reviews, etc.
Just some recommendations (and this goes for any armor you buy, new or used):
Avoid Spectrashield, Spectra woven, or Dyneema: This material is based on polyethylene, the same stuff that milk jugs are made of. The armor version is referred to as Ultra High Molecular Weight Poly-Ethylene (UHMWPE). In situations where it gets hot (and most car trunks in the summer can get HOT), it will denature, reverting back to simple milk jug plastic. Armoring FAIL. I used to be a fan of this stuff until I read some great info by Kevin "Mad Dog" Mclung and Doctor Roberts ("DocGKR"), two names that you should look up and listen to. They did some eye opening tests (especially Mad Dog) on the dangers of Spectra. If the material goes over 180 F, it becomes a danger to its wearer.
Avoid Laminates: Something else both of these gentlemen strongly advise against. Laminated armor materials have huge drawbacks (Spectra laminates more so). They suck against contact shots (the muzzle blast literally melts them, allowing rounds to go right through), they delaminate with wear, they don't breathe (try wrapping yourself in saran wrap- that's how comfy they are), and they don't have anywhere near the shelf life of woven kevlar (which is practically immortal as far as I have seen).
Laminates include: GOLDFLEX (Often advertised as "100% Aramid- IT NEEDS TO SAY 100% WOVEN ARAMID)
Z-FLEX (Zylon laminate!)
Z-SHIELD (ALSO Zylon laminate!)
Steer clear of laminates:
Spectrashield contact shot- massive penetration:
Spectrashield vs. Woven Kevlar BALCS panels contact shots- Spectrashield, massive penetration, with one shot .44 Mag, Woven Kevlar took 9 rounds before penetration:
Spectrashield contact shot- massive penetration
Woven Kevlar Contact Shot- No penetration:
AVOID ZYLON: For the love of everything that is holy. There was an amendment passed in congress outlawing this stuff for pete's sake. It was supposed to be the next great armor material, and lots of manufacturers jumped on it. Trouble is, combine heat with humidity (um, your body?) and the material degraded rapidly. This lead directly to the deaths of at least two police officers, and Zylon was (after much foot dragging) pulled. Don't ever use it.
POINT BLANK FUSION (ZYLON AND SPECTRASHIELD)Point Blank Body Armor: BALLISTICS: Fusion
If the label does not say, and the seller cannot/will not swear to it, assume any surplus armor contains laminates, Zylon, or both. Zylon containing vests were universally deep-sixed after the Berry Amendment, and could be rooted out of dumpsters. These are appearing on Fleabay and forums (Currently there are Zylon containing vests in the Equipment Exchange), being sold to unsuspecting buyers. ASK, ASK, ASK, and if you get a song and dance, walk away. Your life is much too precious to risk anything but woven Kevlar.
Pretty muchly that leaves woven aramid as the last man standing. This stuff is, as always, a great material. It is tough, fireproof (it will char but not melt at above 700 F) and will retain most of its ballistic effectiveness even after reaching this temp. Being woven, it breathes better. Contact shots have a much harder time getting through. It lasts virtually forever- the 5-7 year warranty is not there to tell you when it goes bad. Nominally, it is just there as a CYA measure by the companies to limit liability. In one test, it was actually shown that older vests did BETTER than new vests at stopping rounds. Weird, I know. Here are two references:
"NIJ tests failed to demonstrate any significant differences in 10-year-old armor, regardless of the extent of use or apparent physical condition"
"The warranty exists solely to limit the manufacturer's liability on the product and is not a reflection of the anticipated service life of the product."
...Guide to Police Body Armor, National Law Enforcement and Corrections Technology Center (NLECTC)
You can also find an abstract here:
So kevlar, kevlar, kevlar. Woven, not laminated. ;)
Regarding plates, Doc is on the right track. Rifle armor is important, as soft armor is completely useless against rifle rounds. M193 will go through about 120-140 layers of soft armor with enough zip left to seriously ruin your weekend. Believe me, I have checked.
Jpanzer- Just to reiterate, soft armor cannot be level III. Max rating is IIIA. And don't assume, get the specs, or better yet, test it yourself!
Rifle armor is rated either level III or IV. Now, the interesting thing is, the higher rating is not necessarily better. If you expect to be facing enemies with AP capability, the IV is nice to have (the spec calls for the plate to stop ONE round of .30-06 M2 AP black tip. One round). If you are expecting normal mild steel or lead cored, go with III by all means. The spec for III calls for stopping 6 rounds of M80 .308 ball @ 2750FPS within a 6" circle. So much better multi hit. Always read the specs!
Then there is the question whether the plate is designed to stand alone, or be worn with soft armor behind it ("In Conjunction With"). The stand alone plates tend to be heavier, as they typically have much thicker backings. This is nice if you are wearing just the plates and nothing else, but usually you have some sort of soft armor on, so the ICW are usually a better bet. Plus, just me, I like having extra padding. But if (like Doc Jarhead mentions) you like mobility, then stand alones might be for you.
Materials for rifle armor usually focus on hard stuff- soft armor defeats pistol rounds by catching, slowing, and deforming them. They are low velocity (relatively) with a fairly large frontal area. Rifle rounds are fast, with a small, pointed frontal area. The defeat mechanism is yawing, deforming, eroding, shattering, and frictive braking (the last one is unusual).
Steel- Tried and true, this material is great for stopping rounds (millions of steel targets can't all be wrong). It stops by deforming rounds. It can keep stopping them as long as the structure is uncompromised. Heat and mistreatment do not affect it. Drawbacks- it is heavy for its protective levels, it can rust if you chip the paint, and it spalls. What is spall? Well, it is the reason most steel target manufacturers recommend being 50-100 yards from the target. When a round hits, it splashes little bits of copper and lead in a cone at an angle. If you are wearing one of these plates, that high velocity splash can end up in your throat and face. Make sure if you run steel plates you wear spall guards in FRONT of the plates. Just a few layers of kevlar are all that is needed. One final drawback to steel plates- certain high velocity threats can penetrate it. A few years back, there was a dustup over a certain manufacturers plates not stopping M193 @ above 3000 fps (but remember, M193 is not in the spec!). So do your homework.
Titanium- Ahhh, Titanium. The very word brings to mind a supermetal that can do everything. More misconceptions surround this metal than just about any other. While true, it does make superior armor in some regards, it is not a panacea. Ti has been used for several decades in the construction of advanced airframes (the A-12 was over 60% Ti, a strategic metal mostly found in Russia...). Its claims to fame are: lightweight (60% the weight of steel @ comparable strengths) and corrosion resistance. It is virtually impervious to corrosion (ironically, because it oxidizes so quickly, forming a tough layer of TiO2). It cannot be hardened appreciably above the high 40s low 50s Rockwell C, and even that requires exotic precipitation hardening Beta alloys. The most common alloy in use is referred to as 6-4, which is short for 6Al4V (6 points of Aluminum and 4 points of Vanadium). Ti is a fairly tough metal, which makes it a good choice for armor plates for AFVs and APCs in thick section (I don't have the TE numbers compared to RHA in front of me right now, but they are pretty good). In soft armor vests, Ti plates are sought after as trauma plates vs. steel because they are lighter and do not rust. In sufficient thickness (2-3mm) they will stop all handgun rounds, up to and including some AP like the steel cored Tok rounds that play merry hob with most soft armor.
For rifle armor, Ti falls short- it is not hard enough to shatter high velocity rifle rounds (see above re: hardness). This is where the TE (thickness equivalency) comes into play. Ti can stop rifle rounds, even larger caliber cannon fire, but in thicknesses and weights that are prohibitive to us groundpounders. My research has shown M80 will be stopped by a 14mm thick plate of 6-4 backed by 4mm of Aramid. Most steel plates are between 4.5mm and 6mm depending on backing. There have been some hybrid steel/Ti plates, but at that point, you might as well just go all steel. Choose the right material for the job- for pistol rounds, Ti is a champ. For rifles, look elsewhere.
Ceramic- This material encompasses several types of ceramic. The most common is Alumina, also known as Aluminum Oxide or Al2O3. It is very hard (upwards of 9 on the Moh's hardness scale), fairly light, inert, and not TOO expensive. It stops projectiles by erosion, shattering, and yawing. It is almost never used alone, relying on a backing to keep the high velocity rubble and projectile fragments from continuing into your body cavity. It is great against lots of rifle rounds, and can be made proof against some AP rounds. It is insensitive to heat and water. Drawbacks- more expensive than steel, can be sensitive to mishandling (think cracked plates if you toss them in your gear bag). Other ceramics include Silicon Carbide and Boron Carbide (more expensive and VERY expensive respectively). These are lighter and harder materials, and can stop the very highest of threats (tungsten carbide cored AP for instance). Most level IV plates are B4C.
Spectra- Wait, didn't I just say don't use this? Yes, yes I did. I am including this here for information purposes, and also because it is a gray area. Spectra in hard armor is not as HUGE a danger as soft armor (this from DocGKR) because of the amount of heat required to get it isothermic (the same temp throughout). So, if you have Spectra hardplates, there you go. Standalone Spectra plates can stop rifle rounds with enough layers. It stops rounds via frictive braking (think of bullet brake). However, be advised there are some rounds that will penetrate UHMWPE plates, such as M855 green tip. So again, do your homework. AN EXAMPLE IS FOUND HERE:
Level III Patrol Armor Test [Archive] - M4Carbine.net Forums
I hope this has been helpful- armor is one of those things that should be in everyone's kit bag. Please IM or email me if you have any further questions. I will do my best to answer them.
The Future/New Advances- Current research is focused on several different threads. In the area of soft armor, the Next Big Thing(tm) looks to be Magellan (Now Dupont) M5 fiber. A fiber discovered in the late 90's, this material has been under development for the last 12 years. Preliminary tests have shown it to be superior to Kevlar in nearly every category- tensile strength, durability, fire resistance (it is the most fire resistant fabric ever designed). On a per unit volume basis, it would allow for a 60% reduction in armor weight for the same protection level as Kevlar KM2! The material is a light blue color, and has not been made widely available due to continuing engineering difficulties. Spinnerets that are used for processing Kevlar filaments are not strong enough for this fiber, and will break under the strain! This has required a redesign of the manufacturing processes, which = delays.
I hope this has been helpful- armor is one of those things that should be in everyone's kit bag. Please IM or email me if you have any further questions. I will do my best to answer them.

I have just installed it on a G5 Powermac, dual 2ghz, running on Panther 10.3.9 - onto the main Macintosh hardrive, rather than the 2nd hard drive or the Lacie external.
When it was installing, it came up with a couple of error messages, which I just ignored, and carried on with the installation. (funny that these blips do not appear in the log)
Now, when I try to launch PT I get the following message "Error #-5000 while verifying your authorization UNKNOWN ERROR". This happens 4 times during the laucnh, at exactly the same points every time
1) Loading Plug ins Broadband Noise Reduction LE
2) Loading Plug Ins VocALignLEX
3) Loading plug ins DAE Loaded and
4) Launching Pro Tools Creating DAE and Midi Command.
I checked this forum. I have QT Pro 7.1.3 installed.
So I downloaded the Core Audio Setup 6.9 from digidesign. However, since I did that, a new thing occurs.
I still get all the same error messages when Pro Tools is loading. But now, near the end of the process, the PT loading window states that it is setting up Midi. It seems to take a long time. You expect to see the indicator bar gradually fill with blue to the end (as normally happens with everything else). However it does not. It stops just ver half way. Nothing happens for about 30 seconds, the the PT loading window disappears and PT appears to be open.
I would be grateful for any suggestions.
First, this should be it's own thread.
Is it PT 6.8 or 7.0 you are trying to use, because if memory serves 6.8 is the only one that will work on Panther & 7.0 will require you to get Tiger 10.4.
Now, the reason it stops at the plug-ins is because they are either trial plugs that expired, they were not intalled properly, something went wrong in installation (Code Key), or they are (ahummm!) special (Cracks Dawg!), ya know. {Which of course we do not reccomend} Use the "Utilities folder" inside your "Digidesign" folder in applications. There's a plug in validator and a diagnostic test to run. You must check Wave plug-ins with the Waves website. If you have a dongle double check it. You might have remove some invalid plug-ins.
On the other point check your Midi setup in Applications-Utility Folder.
Hope this helps.
