|Best way I handle alignments is to buy a Firestone Lifetime Alignment (~$170) in the first 10,000 miles. Then every 6,00 miles (every oil change) I get it realigned at no additional change. When the first set of tires wear I look out for a Firestone sale. After that every 6,000 miles I take it to Firestone for realignment, rebalancing of the wheels & wheel rotation at no additional charge. If they ever find a worn part I will replace it and bring it back for realignment. My local Firestone does the 4 wheel alignment. My current Focus has had 11 alignments in a little over 80,000 miles.
If you knew how little money I spend on cars to produce far better result that those who take cars in for every single little thing and spend entire paychecks doing so...........
I look at the world in a very jaded fashion, but it has served me very well. I spend maybe $500-$700 average total in parts on a car from getting it to releasing it to go to the junkyard, and with a very full life in between. Of course I do 100% of the work on them so that's free.
I worked in the parts business twice and I pretty much know how the wind blows in retail auto.....................MUCH of it is quite literally scam in the fullest sense of the word. I watched our tire shop clients quite literally rip off people left and right with some of the most incompetent work I've ever seen. The local Ford house did the same. It opens your eyes. Don't like it that way but I didn't create the planet, just making my way through it hopefully with as little damage as possible.
I know it may not sound that way, but no personal insult or injury meant to anyone here.
|I have personally driven a car that had someone back into it to bend the strut shaft so that a rear tire visibly went out of camber and tracking with front. Somewhere between 5-10 degrees out of plane my guess. Drove it maybe 3-4 weeks until got time to fix it, working 12-7 at the time. The car drove virtually the same as when not damaged, I was quite surprised. A good case that had me looking at rear and its' effect on FWD cars, whereupon I realized that the rear really does nothing, it simply pulls in straight to the front like a trailer once the car moves straight. Anything wrong in back simply makes the rear track slightly out of center to front track one way or the other depending on the error. That damaged car drove nicely, even panic braked well without crossing up, the first thing I checked before starting to drive it long term. Once strut fixed and car realigned by me I could tell hardly any difference other than back pulled back into center with the front again as proper. Of course the strut started working right, the very slight caddy corner roll from damage stopped. Most people I think wouldn't have really noticed that. The biggest effect I've seen from careful rear alignment is the effect on tire wear. It can be set where tires wear horribly and it can be dead right and they last forever, but car drives almost the same both ways as far as feel.
Yeah, everything is a scam! Don't buy anything, as it's all a scam!
Subtle propaganda video and I found plenty of holes in it. Such as even if owner cannot tell the car is out of alignment (generally signifying no problem), he should still get it aligned for piece of mind. After EVERY POTHOLE HIT if you take the video literally. Worried about getting all your money's worth out of car? Align it to be sure. Never can tell, it may go out by itself just sitting in the driveway. The video expressly designed to cater to the fears of the uninformed.
Magic stuff to be sure as the average layman has not a clue. Anything to get the car on the machine and then scare them into more work based on errors of say one or two tenths of a degree when a car can run for years like that and be perfectly safe.
Uh, the major manufacturers consider changing only part of transmission oil now a complete service. Surely they can't be wrong..........
And yes, I have done a 'tuneup' that only consisted of one plug or one wire, when the car proceeded to run fantastic, I quit right there to save money. I haven't done a complete and full tuneup on a car in several years and all 4 cars I have run quite well and 99% of the time. Much of this thinking you have to change myriad parts to keep razor sharp tune is now false, the PCM keeps things so well in check that changing only one part can have you up and running and for long periods of time. I don't hesitate to change any part needed but it must prove out as a problem before I do. About the only regular maintenance I do is oil change. Most of my maintenance is schedule unplanned but done with a close eye on car to catch things before they go bad to bring car down unexpectedly. Watchful waiting and fix it when it gets close. Same with chassis/align work, the car will tell you when it needs it.
Here is a video that explains why four wheel alignments are needed -

|I for one do not buy that 'MUST have all 4 wheels done at once' line, I never do it every time and my cars drive fine and tires last forever. While nice for peace of mind it has NEVER been necessary and you couldn't do it at all on RWD cars, they can be off too. But then I do all my aligning myself and with no machine at all, in fact for 30+ years now.
Check your receipt and tell me what you were charged for the supposed alignment. Performing a two-wheel/front wheel alignment with a vehicle that requires a four wheel alignment, (which your Focus does), is a total waste of money. The vehicle isn't properly aligned. It's worse than paying for a tune up with a four cylinder engine and only replacing two out of the four spark plugs.
If they have a four wheel alignment machine and they only performed a front wheel alignment, you need to go speak to the head manager with your receipt in hand and politely demand the proper four wheel alignment be completed. If they give you any grief, you can mention that if they don't do the proper job, that your next step will be to contact your State Attorney General's Office and your State Office of Consumer Affairs and do so! As a consumer, you have a lot of rights on your side when dealing with a dishonest/incompetent auto center!
I get so boiling angry when I see people getting ripped off for auto repairs!

First of all, I'm sorry for the hiatus. I wanted to take some time to figure out what direction I wanted Simple Threads to head in, and I feel like I know what I'm doing now. Thanks for still reading and all of the e-mails asking me if I was still alive. It's super awesome to have kept in contact and spoke with so many people from all over the globe and I'm eternally grateful for that. So, anyways… I am alive, and it feels really good to be starting Simple Threads back up again.
So all of that being said, I finally got around to picking up a pair of 8114 Iron Rangers'. I think I waited so long because I heard such bad stories about people not being able to properly size them due to the last being different than models like the moc-toes, etc. I went with my normal Redwing size (10.5) and I have to say they fit wonderful right out of the box. The boot itself has a different silhouette than I'm used to wearing, but I think that is why I like them so much. Construction of course is top notch: Goodyear welt, Nitrile cork sole, and a double-layer toe cap.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. – Junior Alyssa Murray (West Babylon, N.Y.) tied her career high with 10 points to lead No. 4 seed Syracuse to a 21-8 win against Dartmouth in the second round of the NCAA Women's Lacrosse Tournament. The Orange has now won 12 consecutive games and advances to the Elite Eight for the seventh time in the last eight years where it will face Florida in a rematch of last year's national semifinal.
Murray recorded five goals and a career-best five assists to spark the Orange offense. It marks just the sixth time in tournament history that a player has scored 10 or more points in a game. Murray's 10 points tie her for third on the NCAA Tournament record list for points in a game and is the third-highest single-game total for a member of the Orange in tournament play. Current assistant coach Katie Rowan '09 set the tournament record with 13 points against Towson in 2008.
In addition, Murray recorded her 100th point of the season as she joins Rowan as the only players in school history to reach the milestone twice in their careers.
"That's why she's a Tewaaraton Award finalist," said Syracuse head coach Gary Gait. "In big games, in a playoff game, you need to step up and make a difference and she did that today."
Syracuse (17-3) tied its season high in goals, but it took the Orange offense some time to click. SU converted just two of its first seven shots as Dartmouth (11-8) jumped out to a 4-2 lead with 22:16 to play in the first half. Freshman Kayla Treanor (Niskayuna, N.Y.) netted her first goal of the day at the 18:14 mark and started a stretch where Syracuse scored on seven consecutive shots as it took a 9-4 lead. Treanor had two goals and two assists during the run, while Murray scored twice, the second coming off the first career assist for junior Kasey Mock (Pottstown, Pa.) to cap the offensive outburst with 9:17 on the clock.
Murray added two more goals and Treanor found the back of the net with 18 seconds left in the first half to give the Orange a 12-6 lead at halftime.
The second half featured more Orange offense. Sophomore Kailah Kempney (Carthage, N.Y.) recorded the first goal after intermission at the 26:40 mark, starting the Orange on an 8-0 scoring run that gave SU its largest lead of the game at 20-6 with 13:54 remaining. Sophomore Devon Collins (Rochester, N.Y.) netted two of her three goals during the run, while Murray had a goal and two assists.
Sarah Byrne ended Dartmouth's scoring drought of 19:54 at the 11:36 mark and added another goal, her fourth of the day, before Treanor registered the final goal of the day on an assist from Murray for the 21-8 final.
"Obviously, I'm very happy with the outcome of today's game," Gait said. "Our team was patient. It wasn't our best start. I think we rebounded and started finishing our opportunities. By the middle of the game, we were creating opportunities through our ride and through our defense and allowed us to get on a good run and dominate the middle of the game. From top to bottom, it was a good effort by everybody."
Murray and Treanor led a balanced attack for Syracuse as each finished with five goals. Collins had a hat trick, while Kempney and freshmen Erica Bodt (Forest Hill, Md.) and Brenna Rainone (Syracuse, N.Y.) had two goals apiece. Treanor and freshman Kelly Cross (Oreland, Pa.) each dished out two assists.
The Orange defense held its opponent to less than 10 goals for the 12th consecutive game and forced the Big Green into more turnovers (15) than shots (13). SU's ride on clears allowed Dartmouth to convert just 9-of-14 attempts.
Syracuse outshot Dartmouth, 37-13, and picked up 14 ground balls to 11 for the Big Green. Murray tied her career high with four draw controls, helping the Orange win 19-of-31. Junior Alyssa Costantino (West Islip, N.Y.) made three saves in the second half for SU, while Kristen Giovanniello had 10 saves for Dartmouth.
The Orange hosts Florida next weekend in the NCAA Tournament quarterfinals. It marks the second consecutive year the teams have met in the tournament. Last season, Syracuse overcame a seven-goal deficit to defeat the Gators, 14-13 in double overtime in the national semifinals.

Anything other than standing corn or combined/silage cut corn would be baiting. You can flood standing corn or harvested corn, but the minute you manipulate the corn in any other manner than normal harvest it becomes baited.

I have a few questions for you guys that I have tried to research but never got the answer I was looking for. I cam across a farm that I can hunt. The farmer is going to let me build a Levi and flood it. How much area should I flood and how deep should I make it. My first idea a was about 10 acres or so and build a Levi about 3 feet or so high n hold 2.5 to 3 feet of water. Just wondering what your thoughts are. My next question is I know I'm going to plant corn for sure and I know you can get corn that the ears grow lower on the stalk. But should I leave the corn standing n then flood it or knock it all down n then flood or leave it up and knock a little bit of it down and should I make the entire are flooded or leave some of it dry just wondering what you all thpugh. I have a good sized river maybe 50 yes from edge of field to flood it so plenty of water and the soil type varies from silty loam to silty clay loam..hope that's ok soil to flood. Thanks for your time

OXFORD, Miss. (AP) - Quarterback Bo Wallace scored four touchdowns rushing, passing and receiving as Mississippi snapped a 16-game Southeastern Conference losing streak with a 41-20 win over Auburn on Saturday.
The Rebels (4-3, 1-2) had not won an SEC game since a 42-35 home win over Kentucky in October, 2010. Auburn (1-5, 0-4) has lost six consecutive SEC games and been outscored 62-3 in the fourth quarter.
Wallace finished 17 of 22 for 226 yards, including the decisive touchdown, a 55-yard pass to Jeff Scott with 5:02 remaining to build an insurmountable 34-20 lead. He caught a 25-yard scoring pass from running back Randall Mackey and added scoring runs of 1 and 2 yards, respectively.
Auburn pulled within 24-20 on a 36-yard field goal, by Cody Parkey with 4:56 left in the third quarter. The Tigers managed only one first down in its final five possessions.
Ole Miss finished with 451 yards, with no turnovers, of total offense, including 290 from Wallace. Jeff Scott rushed for 137 yards on 21 carries and added 70 yards on three receptions.
Mike Marry led the Rebel defenders with six tackles, a sack and an interception in the final four minutes that set up Wallace's final touchdown run with 3:26 left. Auburn linebacker Darren Bates led all tacklers with 16, including two for a loss.
Auburn finished with 213 total yards, but managed only 60 in the second half. Tre Mason led the Tigers with 82 rushing yards and first half scoring runs of 1 and 6 yards. Parkey had field goals of 46 and 31 yards.
Clint Moseley was 11 of 18 for 112 yards, but struggled in the second half, connecting on 3 of 10 for 22 yards.
Three of Auburn's four SEC losses - Arkansas, Mississippi State, Ole Miss - have been by a combined 56 points. The win by the Rebels snapped a three-game series losing streak.

Motorbike racing commentator James Whitham got Kent's newest bar off to a flying start on Friday 15th May.
More than 150 people attended the launch of the new Racing Bar at the four-star Thistle Brands Hatch hotel in West Kingsdown.
The Racing Bar which has recently had more than £200,000 spent on it, is crammed with memorabilia from more than eight decades of racing at the world-famous circuit situated adjacent to the hotel. As well as a Ducati and a Suzuki motorbike on display, the bar is filled with photos of racing drivers and bikers.
Formula One heroes Graham Hill, Jackie Stewart, James Hunt and Nigel Mansell are all on the Racing Bar's gallery wall of fame. Along with motorbike legends from Mike Halewood and Barry Sheene to Carl Foggerty and modern-day hero Valentino Rossi.
Former British and World Superbike racer James Whitham told fans at the launch of the Racing Bar of his fond memories of competing at Brands, including the 1998 World Superbikes Championship racing neck and neck against Carl Foggarty and Troy Corsa.
He said: "There were 120,000 people at the circuit that day and as we came down Clearways I could hear the crowd screaming above the noise of the bikes." Whitham's career ended in 2002, when he was involved in a pile-up on the finishing straight at Brands. The following year he began commentating on British and World Superbikes on the Eurosport channel.
He said: "I can't believe I won't be at Brands this year covering World Superbikes in August. It was always the highlight of my year. Hopefully it will be back again next year".
Whitham believes the Racing Bar is a real tribute to the racers of old who have entertained the crowds over the years. Cutting the tape to open the bar he said: "It's a fantastic venue with a great atmosphere. I was really impressed."
The following day, British Superbikes racer Simon Andrews, brought his 200mph 1000cc Kawasaki ZX10R Ninja bike to the hotel to meet bikers.
The Management of the Thistle Brands Hatch are hoping the Racing Bar will become a favourite venue for bikers. They plan to have a special biker's night on the first Friday of every month.
The bar – which also screens sports every night - is open to local people who want a drink in a nice atmosphere and to watch sport on TV.
Sarah Ingram, the hotel's general manager said: "When we decided to launch the Racing Bar we wanted to capture the history and excitement of motorsport and enhance the relationship we have with Brands Hatch."

Although a booming amplifier business today, manufacturing amplifiers was not always the main priority on the Orange company's to-do list. Established in the 1960s, by a gentleman called Cliff Cooper (aka Mr. Orange) the brand was originally a musical instrument store and recording studio. The unpopularity of the studio forced Mr. Orange to explore his options, leading to his desire to attempt the retailing business. As it turned out, many of the large manufacturers refused to supply the company with their equipment and so Mr. Orange began manufacturing his own products, and as a result… Orange amplifiers were born.
Find out more about the full history of Orange Amps.
From the production of the OD 120 model in the mid-70s to the company's most recent creations, every amp and cab is made to be outstanding and to stand out from the crowd.
"I've worked with loads of bands using Orange in the studio, from metal bands to art rockers and pop-country stuff. No matter whether it's retro jangle or low-mid heavy saturated tones they always deliver. When I played the AD30 head into a 4x12 it was love at first listen." Dolphin Guitar Guru - Hugh
While the roots of Orange are in great valve tone the company has continued to push the envelope. Developing the solid state Crush range that's perfect for a gig friendly amp along with their own valve testing and management systems.
If only valves will do then the VT1000 vavle tester and DIVO TubeSync technology ensure yours are in top condition and biased perfectly. No hassle, just great tone and long tube life.

LAKE FOREST, IL – The Chicago Bears reached an agreement with Mel Tucker today, making him their defensive coordinator.
Tucker brings 16 years of defensive coaching experience to the Bears including the last four as the Jaguars defensive coordinator, adding the title of assistant head coach in 2012.
During the 2011 season, Tucker spent the final five games as interim head coach of the Jaguars. Over the course of that season, the Jaguars were sixth in the NFL in total defense (313.0 yards per game) up from 28th in 2010 (371.8). The 313.0 yards per game were the fewest allowed by Jacksonville's defense since 2006. In 2011, they also ranked eighth in passing defense (208.8 yards per game), ninth in rushing defense (104.2), allowed the second fewest completions of 20-plus yards (43), forced the second most three-and-out drives (57) and were third in first downs allowed (268) and plays of 20-plus yards allowed (51).
Prior to his time in Jacksonville, Tucker spent four years with the Cleveland Browns (2005-08), serving as the defensive back coach for the first three seasons before being promoted to defensive coordinator in 2008.
During those four seasons, the Browns were fifth in the NFL with 73 interceptions and seventh in gross passing yards allowed (212.8). They also allowed the fourth-fewest completions of 25-plus yards (78). As defensive coordinator in 2008, Cleveland was tied for third in the NFL with 31 takeaways and second in the league with 23 interceptions.
Before joining the NFL coaching ranks, Tucker spent eight seasons working at the collegiate level.
From 2001-04, Tucker was on the Ohio State coaching staff working with the defensive backs before serving as co-defensive coordinator during the 2004 season. Under his tutelage, two Buckeyes, safeties Michael Doss (2002) and Will Allen (2003), were named first-team All-Americans by the Associated Press, and cornerback Chris Gamble (2002) was a second-team selection by The Sporting News. The Buckeyes won the national title during the 2002 season with Doss earning Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year and Fiesta Bowl MVP honors that year.
In 2000, Tucker served as the defensive backs coach at LSU under then-head coach Nick Saban. He got his coaching start under Saban at Michigan State working as a graduate assistant from 1997-98 before serving as the defensive backs coach at Miami (Ohio) in 1999.
Tucker was a four-year defensive back at the University of Wisconsin (1992-95), earning a degree in agricultural business management in 1995. An Ohio native, Tucker and his wife, Jo-Ellyn, have two sons, Joseph and Christian.

Arsène Wenger says the mental qualities shown by his group of players this season rank among the best he has seen at the Club.
Having been as low as 17th in the table in September, Arsenal have enjoyed a major revival and can seal third spot with a victory at West Bromwich Albion on Sunday.
Wenger disagrees with the claim of some observers that this team is the weakest of his 15-year reign, and says they have shown real grit this term.
"It is the public perception because we played for a long time in the season in a very bad position," he said. "After seven games we had lost four. If you lose four in your first seven you are down there.
"But we also didn't get credit at all for knocking Udinese out [of the Champions League] and knocking Dortmund out - they won the Bundesliga quite easily and Bayern Munich are in the final of the Champions League. It was just normal!
"What was interesting this season was, first of all, the mental quality of the group. It was one of the best I've seen. Secondly the team has grown in quality during the season and the results in the second half have been much stronger.
"After that you must say as well the exceptional season of Robin van Persie kept us above water in a period where he scored 30 league goals. That is something exceptional."
Despite the difficult nature of the campaign at times, Wenger says he was always satisfied with his players' approach.
"On a daily basis it was a very enjoyable season - even in the dark times," he said. "There is no worse situation as when you feel the players are not focused and not united or on board.
"But I always felt during the season the group was united and ready to fight. So on a daily basis that is what you enjoy the most.
"I always put a lot of pressure on myself, but maybe I was more under public pressure than before. But amazingly, I suffer more from my personal pressure."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

How to convert string to variable name
I'm trying to write a loop that assigns functions to a series of variables
which I'd like to name z, y, x, w, ... and so on. The functions are matrix
operator of a group, which I would use like this, for example:
state // w // z // w // w
Clearly I can generate the strings "z", "y", "x", "w" ... in my loop. But
for a given string, how can I assign to the variable whose name is defined
by that string?

'"It was an intense, low-scoring game," Sabres coach Lindy Ruff said. "They took a lot of ice away. We took a lot away. I thought we garnered the momentum of the game except for a small span in the third period. Both goalies made key saves, especially Ryan in the third period."'
Funk makes another brief appearance on ice
'"There's a lot of learning yet to do," coach Lindy Ruff said. "We haven't had a lot of practice time for them, and the way the games have been going, the ice time just hasn't been there. They're first-year pros. They have a long ways to go. They've filled in when we've needed them. We'd like to get them more ice time, but at certain times that hasn't been available."'
Don't fret, Sabres should get even better
'Throw in the fact that Buffalo doesn't have a West coast swing and that 10 of the team's 14 games in January are against teams that failed to reach the postseason last year and it hits you like a Zamboni — Buffalo might get better as the season progresses.'

Souray strikes in OT (Montreal Gazette)
Sabres built for the new millennium (Montreal Gazette)
Sabres Fall In Last Second Of OT
'The Canadiens would tie it eight minutes into the third as Saku Koivu would slip the puck under Ryan Miller and that's how regulation would end as the game would head into overtime tied 1-1. The two teams would trade great chances in overtime, but Montreal defenseman Sheldon Souray would snap a wrist shot over Miller with just one second left for the 2-1 win.'
Canadiens 2, Sabres 1, OT
'Besides ending a four-game skid against Buffalo, the Canadiens also enjoyed a bit of payback. The come-from-behind win helped make up for Montreal's season-opening 5-4 shootout loss at Buffalo last month, a game in which the Canadiens squandered three two-goal leads. "You always want to get those back," Canadiens coach Guy Carbonneau said.'
Montreal 2, Buffalo 1 (OT)
'Souray took two strides toward the net, and somehow snuck a wrister past Miller, who appeared to have the near side sealed off with his pads and body. "I knew it was late but I have to make a play," Miller said. "Regardless if the buzzer goes, he shoots, stand in there. I was focused on Kovalev, a little bit about the clock that he would try and make a move, get a shot. He hit the trailer. It was a pretty good shot."'
One Second Remained
'"We could have had two [points] tonight and we shouldn't be happy with one," said head coach Lindy Ruff.'
Montreal's last second goal sinks Buffalo in overtime
'The Montreal Canadiens saved their best for last. After playing rope-a-dope for most of the night, they delivered an uppercut that staggered the Buffalo Sabres in the third period and then knocked them out in overtime in a 2-1 victory on Friday night at HSBC Arena.'
Game # 23: Canadiens 2, Sabres 1 (OT)
'With not much to distinguish between the collective speed in each team's arsenal, the Montreal game plan of filling the neutral zone with obstacles with which to disrupt the Sabres' end-to-end transition game, and playing a more physical brand in outhitting Buffalo (25-12), proved very effective in throwing the Eastern Conference leader out of their comfort zone.'

I was thinking today, how cool would it be to make an actual size IG-88 costume to wear. Has anyone thought of it? Or better yet, has anyone made a fairly screen accurate IG-88 costume?
Shounds like a great project to do:cheers
Would not the arms and legs prove difficult for a person to wear?
Well if it is screen used. If the costume is scaled up a bit, I am sure the arms and legs will fit. It would be an uncomfortable costume though.
you would have to be tall and crazy-thin to make it work. But I would love to see someone try!! he is my 2nd favorite bounty hunter!!!:thumbsup:thumbsup
General Grivious is on the same level as IG-88.
Andy, I believe someone made a pretty cool grivious. Not sure where I saw it though.
As for IG, I think that you dont have to be too tall to make it work, but since you cannot make the headpiece fit your head, unless you get major plastic surgery, then I think that your head would in the IG's chest, so you have a bigger viewpoint. It would have to be pretty big to accomodate the person wearing the costume. I might go for it and try this costume. I have always loved IG-88, besides the Fettman.
I have seen several good Grievous puppets before. they also have a nice place to hide inside of the puppet, the costume can't be done because the arms are way too thin. Not even I could fit myself into an IG-88. If you want to make it unproportional, I suppose it would work.
I think it's pretty doable you just need a thin person like someone that could fit in a C3PO suit, only down side is on how you see through the helmet and the arms and legs will end up looking a tad beefed up.
Anybody up for an extreme diet? Haha. Well, like I said, if you size up the costume to the point that your arms will fit, it could possibly work. After I am done with Fett, which should be sometime early next year, I will start work on this. If I cannot fit in it, then hell, it will go on display.
Edit- Actually I take that back. You would have to modify some parts of it to make it fit you. Like I said before, it would be an uncomfortable costume. Expect to see it at comic con next year.
I'm sure it'd be far easier and more practical to simply make an IG-88 that simple stands there. Not a costume but perhaps an rc droid like the R2D2's that are made with radio controls for its head and maybe its arms. That way everything is in proportion, no one needs to have parts of the anatomy removed to fit inside and it's not simply a static display piece.
i suppose it'd be easy 501st approval....nothing to really compare it to. and the fact that someone could get it to work..you gotta give them credit.
but the movie ig-88 is incredibly static...in any EU or video games he is clearly seen in full motion..... remember he is an assassin droid.
even though it looks like he moves on joints and gear boxes he is pretty flexible...for a droid.
i'm sure as long as people offset the look of the costume in some places it could trick the viewer into a proportional view and still allow some movement.
props to whoever gives it a good go
What about putting it together like the EP 1 C3-P0? A puppet mounted to the front of a black suit. So, you could still wear it and not have to worry about being in it or changing any of the droid's dimensions.
IG-88?!?!? How fething skinny are you, vode?
to create a wearable IG-88 costume to scale would not be at all possible, i think. just a prop, or statue of some kind however, would not just be very doable, but freakin awesome!
maybe a costume based on IG-88 would be more... realistic. like a heavy assassin droid:D
any ways i say OYA!!!
Now now... it IS possible. You'd just need to be a skinny, quadruple amputee to wear the suit :-)
Just to throw this into the ring, IG-88 is not 501st acceptable.
How is he not? would the Rebel Legion accept him? He is a bounty hunter-sorta right? haha
You could make it a wearable puppet like Episode 1 C3-P0. That is completely possible! Maybe even rig some cables to you fingers to make the hand open and close. Like these things...
I might just have to make this wearable. I am still planning this out, because I dont want to dive into it right away. If I make a mistake, then yea, I can fix it, but it would cost more money than I hoped it would.
Hey GCN for the sake of debate...why would IG not be 501st accepted? Wouldn't he be BH status? That is assuming that someone could fit into it. Though you would have to make it our of proportion for a human to fit in there.
What IrishFett said...
Technically IG88 units are assasin droids but the screen used one, was used as a bounty hunter. So I would have to assume it is 501st acceptable, if it is made very accurately.
It still isn't 501st acceptable. You can't physically wear it. Why don't you think there are any General Grievous costumes in the Legion?

As for IG-88, I agree that a costume would be better if aimed at more of a heavy assasin droid. Or, for an accurate IG-88 then just go for a static display.
Either way, it'd be a project I'd love to see come to life.

Dear Professors Racaniello and Depommier,
I hope this email finds you both in good health. I am a second year medical student from Ireland studying at the University of Cambridge, UK and I have been following the TWiP series with considerable interest. Please allow me to compliment the marvellous work you both are doing for science communication, which I am certain will help inspire both researchers and clinicians alike as well as the general public to learn more about infectious diseases. If I may, I would like to request that an episode be devoted to the helminth, Schistosoma mansoni.
Wishing you the best of luck with all the podcasts,
Yours faithfully,

Hey Guys,
Thought I'd follow up with you on my email you read on #24.
You asked which university I attended and who taught parasitology there. I attended a smaller to medium size school in Texas called Tarleton State University, where I studied Limnology. My parasitology professor's name was Dr. Russell Pfau. Most of his work is with genetics and currently based around the cotton rat (Sigmodon hispids).
I also thought I would tell you guys how I have put my parasitology classes to use, as it might interest Dickson.
After I graduated with my B.S. I started working at a state run fish hatchery, where we produce game fish and do a fair bit of aquaculture research. We produce striped bass, smallmouth bass, channel catfish, and rainbow trout that are stocked in public water bodies around the state for angling enjoyment. We do regular sampling of our fish for various parasites and bacterial infections, so I've kept my microbiology skills fresh over the last few years.
Our arch-nemesis, however, is a single cell algae: Prymnesium parvum (golden algae).
It is a common algae found in estuaries around the world, but wreaks havoc when introduced to inland waters. P. parvum was first identified in Texas in the mid-eighties, and has gone on to destroy fish populations in several of our drainage basins throughout the state. Since then, it has reared its head in many different states in the U.S. Much of our resources (and most of my time) are spent dealing with golden algae at our facility and providing assistance to private land owners who have experienced blooms on their property.While we have good controls for dealing with it on a small scale, there is currently no solution for treating on a large reservoir scale.
Here is a link to more info on our website if anyone is interested:
Thanks again, for the great podcast. Since finding TWiP, I've also added your other podcast to my weekly downloads. They're all great.

Thank you
Coincidentally my dog is currntly being treated for heart wrom.
If you ever need an alternative name for the show I have;

2) Parisitism lost - paristism found.
3) Another shitty day in parisitism.

Dear Vincent & Dickson
Thanks for your wonderful podcasts. I have recently subscribed to both TWiP and TWiV and am slowly working my way back through the back catalogue.
I am a diagnostic molecular biologist working in the haematology department of a major teaching hospital in Sydney, Australia. Our lab's main tasks are PCR detection of various mutations and gene rearrangements found in leukaemias. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the first official diagnostic PCR report issued by our lab, so we have been involved in the field from the early days
I was particularly interested in TWiP #23 re. Strongyloides stercoralis since it is relevant to my work in molecular diagnostic haematology. One of the diseases that our lab works with is chronic eosinophilic leukaemia (CEL), particularly the myeloid subtype that is characterised by the presence of PDGFRA and PDGFRB gene rearrangements; this subtype is particularly sensitive to kinase inhibitors such as imatinib. Curiously, these gene rearrangements are almost exclusively found in males and they do not involve the sex chromosomes.
(Note for your listeners: Eosinophils are white blood cells that form part of the innate immune system. They are full of toxic protein granules that are released to kill invading organisms. However, if these granules are released in the host's tissues in large quantities they can cause significant systemic toxicity. Commonly affected tissues in hypereosinophilia [eosinophil blood counts above 1.5x10^9 /litre] include the skin, heart, lungs & gastrointestinal tract. )
Therefore, it is very important that patients with eosinophilia are correctly diagnosed so that the clinician can determine if they are eligible to receive this very effective targeted therapy. CEL is very rare compared to reactive eosinophilias, including those caused by parasitic infections. Other idiopathic eosinophilias are treated with corticosteroids which suppress immunity.
In my CEL powerpoint that I have presented to clinical haematologists I have a couple of slides stressing the importance of screening patients by Strongyloides serology prior to commencing corticosteroid or kinase inhibitor treatment for eosinophilia. It was not until I heard TWiP#23 that I really understood how serious strongyloidiasis is and why it is so important to avoid it.
Having no background in parasitology and very little in immunology beyond undergraduate biology, I appreciate that Dickson instructs us in the correct pronunciation of the names of the organisms and diseases that you discuss.
I hope you guys continue to keep up the good work and that you mentor a new generation of podcasters who will produce other interesting podcasts. I only wish there was a podcast of equivalent content and production quality in molecular haematology. Thanks again and I look forward to hearing more from you both.

They recognize all the prophets. For example, think of a Jew who does not recognize the Prophet Abraham (pbuh); he will be ruined, may Allah forbid. What is your problem? "What if that means you cease to be a Jew?" My brother, it will make you a better Jew. You will be a true Jew. You will stop being half a Jew and become a complete Jew if you also follow Muhammad. Love the prophet. Does loving the Prophet Abraham (pbuh) mean you stop being Jewish? Since you love the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) you will love him even more. Do you not love the Prophet Abraham? You will love him more. Love the prophet as you love the Prophet Abraham (pbuh). How lovely. What will you lose from your faith?
And for followers of Jesus. They love the Prophet Jesus (pbuh). Do I tell them "Abandon the Prophet Jesus (pbuh)? I tell them to love him more. I do not tell them to "Abandon Hazrat Maryam." I tell them to love Hazrat Maryam even more. Because Almighty Allah says that Hazrat Maryam is superior to all the women of the world. Can you find me such a statement in the Gospels? Allah says He has made her superior to all the women of the world. How well Almighty Allah praises her. What more do you want? Allah praises Jesus the Messiah. He praises and praises him. He says he will return. That is the same as your belief. What more do you want? Almighty Allah gives you good news.
(In response to a viewer who asks, "What is your opinion of marriage. Can a married person not work for the spread of Islam?")
A person striving for Islam can be married. Why not? Young people should get married, why not? But there are some types who go round saying, "I strive for Islam." How can one tell? "I pray," they say. What else? That's it. They don't do anything. "Reading is a religious observance," they say. "Work is a religious observance. But what does Allah say in one verse?
"Say: 'If your fathers or your sons or your brothers or your wives or your tribe, or any wealth you have acquired, or any business you fear may slump, or any house which pleases you, are dearer to you than Allah and His Messenger and striving in His Way,..'" Look, this is really crucial. What does it mean "than Allah"? Devotion to the Qur'an. What does the Messenger of Allah (saas) say? The Qur'an. And this is a really crucial statement, "..are dearer to you than Allah and His Messenger and striving in His Way, then wait until Allah brings about His command. Allah does not guide people who are deviators." Allah says I will punish you. Do you know how? They get married but are revolted by their wives, and their wives are repelled by them. They swear at one another. They want to get divorced, but they can't. We see such troubles around us. Allah turns it into a nightmare. Allah soon brings them down. They torment one another. Striving on the path of Allah. What does this mean? Don't pretend not to understand. You must strive in the same way our Prophet (saas) strove. Rasulullah (saas) used to serve from morning to night. He would have a brief nap in the afternoon and then work hard again until evening. We have not come here to have fun. We are obviously being tested.
(In response to a viewer who asks, "What does our faith think of women. For example, why is the Prophet (saas) a man? And you are always speaking of female beauty. Are we [women] created for men?")
Men and women are mutual blessings. The fact Allah speaks of men first changes nothing. It would be the same if it were women. For example, Almighty Allah tells women He has created them for men. He has created spouses. Women are blessings for men, and men are blessings for women. But that is impossible without faith? Why not? Because otherwise Allah makes them repellent to one another. He makes them scourges for one another. They come like denizens of hell. And they make one another's lives a misery. They become lovers and swear at one another over the telephone. They say hurtful things to one another. They make life difficult for one another morning, noon and night. I know many cases like that. They upset one another every half hour. Everyone knows how widespread that is. People become a scourge if you do not love for Allah. But you can rest easy if you love for Him Allah.
Polygamy was common in the time of our Prophet (saas). That was a wonderful thing. There were women who were in love with our Prophet (saas). What a great blessing! Every lover marries the one they love in that way. That was a blessing for women in those days. Otherwise, those women would have been in love with our Prophet (saas) but could never have married him. They could never be his. Allah bestowed this on all those who loved. This is a great advantage for women. A man could not win a woman he loved in those days. But Allah bestowed this on women as a kind of liberty then. He bestowed it as a beauty. Allah says you can be with whoever you love. I am speaking from the point of view of the Prophet (saas). Women could make themselves his free concubines. There was no need to marry them. O Rasulullah (saas), I am yours, they said. And that was that. The Prophet (saas) said he accepted them and that was that. She was his free concubine. Or else his betrothed. This was also very good for the Prophet (saas). If I had a daughter, I would have wanted her to marry our prophet (saas). I would be proud. I would beg him to marry her.2012-05-17 16:34:27

What I find hilarious is the title of this video. "CURRY SEEKS ULTIMATE LEVEL OF CONDITIONING" What happened to this phrase putting the coach in the doghouse? Apparently, this means that all Curry cares about is what happened on the offensive end. At least that's what it meant when Flip said the exact same thing. When Mike Curry says it, the words are coming from the future HOF coach of the year. I.....don't get it. Get used to seeing alot more similarities than differences between the former and current Pistons coach this year.

The Frenchman saw Theo Walcott return to Fabio Capello's team against Hungary after missing out on the World Cup while Kieran Gibbs and Jack Wilshere both made their senior international debuts.
In an exclusive interview with Arsenal TV Online, Wenger gave his verdict on their performances. He discussed:

Calmer voices in the Indonesian government have rejected calls from Islamic militants for the dispatch of Indonesian troops to Gaza. The Foreign Ministry argued the last thing needed in the Middle East was for outside nations to become involved by sending troops to fight in a war that is rapidly getting out of hand. A number of hardline groups, including the Islam Defenders Front(FPI) have said they were ready to send volunteers to Gaza under the banner of jihad nd wanted government support for their effort. Foreign Minister Hassan Wrayuda responded: "Is conducting a jihad effective? We must ask Gaza if that's what they need, and most probably they don't…So far sending jihadists isn't an option."
The president of Indonesia Suslilo Bambang Yudhoyono said Israel attacks on Gaza had nothing to do with religion and regarded it as a clash of territory between Palestine and Israel which makes clear that religion plays no role in the conflict. He urged calm and said since Indonesia was a pluralistic society it could help play a role in mediating the dispute.

How/Who makes a suppressor for CZ-83 or CZ-75 or CZ-83 ?

How/Who makes a suppressor for CZ-83 or CZ-75 or CZ-83 ?
There's things you have to do before you can go putting a muffler on that hot rod. Big bro gets upset when you don't let them in on the plans for all that fun.
Lots of can manufacturers out there. First, you'll need a threaded and extended barrel. Depending on what gun you are putting it on, several options are available at EFK Fire Dragon Here.
Next, you will need to find a Class 3 FFL (Federal Firearms Liscensee) who can facilitate the transaction for you locally. Many gun shop owners have this Class 3 license and will help you find what your looking for.
You'll need to fill out the BATFE Form 4 (Application for Tax Paid Transfer and Registration of Firearm) and pay the associated $200 for the luxury of owning a restricted device. You will need to submit a recent 2" X 2" photo, be fingerprinted by an authorized person and get your local Chief Law Enforcement Officer to sign off on it, basically saying, as far as he is concerned, you are not a public menace.
I'm not sure how long the application will take to process but it is finite and shouldn't take too long. Realize the extended, threaded barrel will cost you $200, the can will set you back ca. $750, the tax stamp $200, the processing and shipping another couple hundred bucks and you'll have to wait a while. This is the cost of silence.
Good luck. I haven't had the $ all in one place yet so no can for me. This is why so many people own the threaded barrel and not the can! Spreading out the cost (and never making it to the suppressor).
Contact "jonathan ceiner corporation, ssk industries, or reed knight corporation" and they should be able to help you with your request & the procurement prosess & paper work to legally possess it.
Wow, impressive thread necromancy. :watching:
Incidentally, per the OP's post, is it even possible to suppress a CZ-82/83? The barrel is un-threaded and fixed to the frame.

- Development & Socialization (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/development-socialization/)
- - Can you "create" drive in a puppy? (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/development-socialization/197542-can-you-create-drive-puppy.html)
Can you "create" drive in a puppy?
Let's say you find a breeder and the sire & dam have good, solid temperaments, but are pretty laid back and relaxed. They have not been used for Sch. but do well in obedience. Now, let's say you took the puppy with the most drive, but it does not have as much drive as a working line pup. Could you, theoretically, make that puppy have more energy/drive if you work with it at 8 weeks and on? I am not sure I'm even using the correct terminology here, but I think the gist of what I am saying is being portrayed lol. If so, how would this be done? Through tug playing?
If not, what could this dog be used for besides Sch, OB, etc? Would a "calmer" dog be good for tracking?
Thanks for any replies, I have just been reading a bunch on genetics and temperaments, and this question just kind of popped up, figured yall would be the best to ask ;)
I don't think you can put drive into a dog, you can build off what they genetically have....and sometimes a puppy that shows little when young will wake up around 10 months and you'll see more. The term sleeper is used for pups like this!
Tug is great for building drive, tease the pup up for a toy and play, ask for commands before rewarding. But some pups aren't into tugging either, too inhibited.
As far as tracking, most pups need food/hunt drive to be successful, if they don't have it, they may not ever be enthusiastic about tracking. A calm demeanor doesn't really play into it as much as the willingness to search with the nose. Though slower, methodical tracking is better than dragging the handler down in a hectic manner.
You can help a pup reach their "potential" drive through tug work, drive building exercises using food and toy, and endurance training - but if it isn't already there genetically, you can't make it appear.
Kind of like those athletes who were just born to do their sport. Anyone can practice, train, work hard, be committed, but they may never reach the same level as someone who was just born with all the right qualities to do it.
As for the tracking, I want to see a dog with a lot of drive and a CLEAR head on the track, not a "calm" dog just moseying along. But a mid-level drive dog, is perfectly capable of tracking, and some lower prey drive dogs would be good too as long as the food drive is there.
Now, if you want a companion and someone to explore ScH with, then there is absolutely nothing wrong with getting a calmer dog, who is a companion first. Especially if this is your first Shepherd. If you catch the "bug" and need to do sport at a competitive level, you can look for that dog then.
If you know that NOW you need a dog to compete with, I would not go with one from untitled parents. Not saying that a dog from untitled parents couldn't have the drive, but just saying that someone who has gone through the process of training and titling dogs will have a better knowledge of what could qualify as a working puppy, so may be better able to place the correct pup with you.
Also, if the pups haven't been "tested" for drives, then seeing them "off" could be deceiving. When I got my male, I had asked for a competition dog, possible breeding male. When I first saw him, he seemed so "tame" compared to my female when she was his age. I was a little taken aback, as this was a pup the breeder had held back for themselves. So I walked him a bit, did a little bit of VERY basic OB. I asked her if she thought he was TOO CALM for competition, she looked at me like I was crazy (My female, from DDR lines, was incessant as a puppy, needing 4-5 hours a day of exercise and OB, and even then rarely slept). She layed him a food track, and I watched this amazing 4month old pup pulling, digging in and pushing his nose into the ground for that track. Then she grabbed a tug and set up a helper, this dog went from zero to 60 in 1.2 seconds.
So I learned that there are Shepherds with an "off switch" LOL
Either way, he is an AMAZING boy, with a hard, fast grip, EXTREME Object and prey drive, good defense drive, good hunt drive and great endurance....then you tell him to lay down and he will shut off and do his best to impersonate a rug....LOL
Good luck with your new pup!
I think there was a long thread on this in the recent past. I thought it was started by "huntersdad" but I can't seem to locate it. I think he even created a graphic to help show the difference between drive and threshold. That thread had lots of opinions between "creating" drive and "exposing" drive that is already there.
Sorry I can't help more- not sure why the search isn't working right now. I'm usually pretty able to find old threads.
Well, I think there IS another thread that covers this from Hunter, but actually this is the quote I was thinking over anyway: http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum...ml#post2656185
"This is what many people don't understand (you are not the only one). Good working dogs are motivated by the work. It is genetic."
My guy has absolutely no bite drive what so ever, doesn't even like to play tug but he has ton of ball drive. We cant even to get him to bark on command - he just never barks. I have been working on that for over a year.... I worked with him to try to increase the bite drive for a while but it never got any better. Now he is a rescue so we don't know what his lines are but from his body type he appears to be from a working line.

Drive cannot be "made", but it can be built upon. You take what little the pup has and work with it, develop it through play and training. The flirt pole and the tug are great for building prey drive. I'm not a tracking guru so I am not sure how you would go about building hunt drive, but food drive is sharpened through hunger. Some trainers will have their dogs skip a meal before tracking, or their meal IS the track.
Some lower drive dogs have to be "managed"--it is important not to tire the pup the pup out or push him to the point where he gives up. Less is more when building drive. He should always win... but you should always leave him wanting more.
Some folks with lower drive dogs have to crate them before training to build drive, desire, and frustration. Then hopefully to explode onto the field with a lot of motivation.
Can drive be created, no, but it can be developed within the dog's genetic capacity. Also, tracking requires drive, a desire to hunt, fight to work through long hard tracks and hardness to work through difficult conditions.
Having said that, laid back and calm does not mean a dog lacks the drive to work any more than a dog that paces and is never calm would indicate a dog that has the right drives to work. Elena is not a crazy drive dog at least not in the way most people think of high drive. She is food crazy, wants to please and has a lot of social aggression so LOVES bitework. She is just now starting to play ball a bit. Hanging with her in the house or just meeting her on the streets you would see her as a low drive, calm pet and not a working dog.
Kdrees, many dogs will not bark for their owners. My best dogs won't. Do you work with a club and a helper? Not all dogs are prey crazy and want to just play a rag/play game with someone. Some dogs still look at bitework as a fight.

The thing is also that every one has a different idea what is doing well in obedience. Do you mean they are older dogs that will listen to their owners, or do they do AKC obedience and do trial? For someone new to the working dog game, you really have nothing to compare drive level to. I expect any 3 year old GSD to sit, down, and come when the owner tells it to, especially in it's home. It's where the dog is most comfortable and where it is most likely to be calm because there are no distractions...or possible fear situations.
It is for sure possible to get a dog that has higher drive, or possibly has drive out of the kind of situation you speak of. Have you seen any of the parents go after a tennis ball? Or possibly seen them play together? I they always relaxed, if you get their favorite toy out, how do they react?
But...dogs are very very genetically driven. Many of their skills and abilities are genetically ingrained. Its why a shepherd can herd without being taught, and a pointer will point without any lessons. When it comes to drive...go and see a few litters...you'll understand what the difference in inherent drive is. Can puppies with less drive be taught to increase their drive a bit? Sure...but it will never be as high as those puppies that are naturally born with it.
Thank you for all the wonderful answers!
So, from what I am reading, a GSD who is "calm" may actually have drive(s) but just be calm in the household? I always considered a drivey dog to be like that one in the video "so you think you want a high drive puppy."
Personally, I wouldn't think I was ready to do Sch. as I've only owned one shepherd. But, I was considering getting a second one with a calm demeanor, who could maybe do SOMETHING outside of just being a pet. I owned an Aussie/GSD mix and he would have been great at agility, but there weren't any agility training areas anywhere near by.
So, if I were to get a puppy, the best way to bring out any potential drive would be tugs, flirt poles, and food (if I tried tracking)?
Just remember we are giving opinions, but can't really tell you if a pup from the litter you are talking about will have any drive to work without actually seeing the parents. (or a pedigree MIGHT help).

The radio cut on/off sometimes when I hit bumps on the v3's. So it might be loose. Iv had my cluster replaced at the dealers in the past, but since then I had totaled the car then salvaged it so I just wanna double check all grounding points.

Hey all,
I may be able to get my hands on the casting moulds for the Jango Fett Blaster Pistol, moulded from the Original Prop used in Episode 2.
I was just wondering what the interest would be out there for the props? Im new to all this so bear with me lol, but also what would you expect would be a reasonable price for them as well.
If the interest is high enough, I may buy the moulds and bang out some casted ones and sell them off, as is of course, so that those who want to do custom paint jobs may do so as they please... :-)

Durable, harsh ride, difficult to install
By SDSillyCyclist
from San Diego
About Me Commuter
Difficult to install, needed to carefully use tire levers to get on the rims. Very durable, almost 3k miles on the rear (bike+person = 175lbs). Ride is harsh- ended up running lower pressures, but that just made pedaling harder. Price is good. Would recommend only with warnings.
Good Tire/Bad Tire
By PaulTheWall
from Upstate, NY
I purchased two of theses tires, one last year, one this year. Last year I replaced the tire on the front of bike and it has been working great, not a single flat.This year I replaced the rear tire and in < 200 miles I had my first flat. Under inspection I see that has already worn out and there are holes. I could feel how the material was weaker in portions of the tire. 50% success rate with this tire. Going with something a little sturdier for how much I am riding
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Looks good until it is installed!
By Omermurat
from Herndon, VA
It is way too tight and very difficult to install. Slipped off the rim after installation. Once they are installed they look good on the bike, however, don't turn true comparing with the rim. Vibrates as you ride at and above 20mph. Cheap for a reason & I guess you get what you pay for... After only one ride I am very disappointed and will replace them as soon as the new pair arrives.

Impossible to install, period! Even took to my local bike shop and they couldn't install them. They are way too tight, which is typcial fashion with Hutchinson lately. Went through five tubes trying to mount, will I be re-imbursed for them as well as the tires?! Very angry customer.

Never Again
By evilive

Never again. The tire kept slipping off my front rim. I swapped the front and back and both tires slipped off. I've bee riding for over a year and this ha never happened to me. Spend the extra cash for good tires. These are trash.

I use the Nitro Tire to give my Road Bike an appealing look. It also looks very racy upon first appearance, and the small thin size works wonders in riding with balance and speed.
Just ok

Good price, BUT....most difficult tire to install ever even after use. One person unable to install without a lot of difficulty, and need to use tire irons which pinched tubes on install. Prone to flats. Had to return as I went through too many tubes. Great that Nahbar stands behind products.Continentals are usually tough to install but these are way worse.
Can't even mount them
By IRideDisappointed
from Houston, TX
I purchased these because they were cheap and figured I could get as much use out of them as I currently get out of the Gator skins (which usually go flat before they wear out, thank you Houston roads).Way too tight. Tried mounting and pinch-flatted too many tubes. I have changed many many tires, but this is the first time I've had one that was so awful. In addition, i broke 4 of my 6 tire levers, so time to get another set of those when I pick up tubes and a better tire.
