Hey everyone!
I know there is a smoking jetpack thread around here somewhere, but it's eons old and there doesn't seem to have been a solution to this minus GatorFett's rig.
I'd really like to be able to make this jetpack smoke but make more of a fog exhaust than a powerful burst of compressed air.
I've done quite a bit of research and found a few options, but I need the dimensions of the jetpack's insides.
While still expensive (around $699), the Antari M-1 mobile is battery operated, but I don't know if it would fit. If I could find one used for about half, I might jump on it - if it fits. The dimensions of the fogger are:
Length: 227mm
Width: 66mm
Height: 81mm
Antari Lighting And Effects - Products
The other option was a device called Pure Smoke from Ellusionist. This retails at about $147 but is mostly used for close up magic. I've seen it done on a fembot costume, emailed the costumer, and she mentioned that she was a bit disappointed with the output. Mind you, she split the smoke into two (for your know...both boobs) so there was half the output. I would think that buying two of these would work best, one for each exhaust of the jetpack. The next issue would then be to rig them remotely together - something I know nothing about.

I know this has come up many times as I'm sure lots of you would like to add this feature if it was reasonably affordable. Has anyone else found a better solution?

Emily & Robby
September 1
Knoxville, Tennessee
Q & A with the Bride:
1. What was the one thing about your venue that made you know it was the one?
We were married at the Episcopal Church of the Resurrection, my family's church. Honestly, I had always dreamed of being married there. My grandmother is a founding member of the church, and the original church services were actually held in her home. There is a lot of family history in that building! Rob and I really felt at home there and that is all that really mattered to us!
Our reception was held at the Reserve at Bluebird Hill. I knew the moment I met Jan Hall, owner of the Reserve, that I wanted my reception at Bluebird Hill. She is a wonderful person and her location is just as beautiful as her! I loved working with her and our reception was beautiful.
2. Which three details from your wedding were your favorites?
My Dad surprised me the day of the wedding with a few mementos for me. The one that stands out the most is his father's, my Opa's, dog tags. He put them on the inside of my bouquet so all day I could look down and remember my Opa. I also was wearing my Nana's wedding ring on my right hand. She was very sick leading up to our wedding, and we were all afraid she wouldn't be there to see it, but we all got an answered prayer and her health is now better than ever!
But, my favorite detail of our wedding was actually at our reception. Both of my grandfathers have passed, so I wanted to remember throughout the day that they were there with us. Rob is a guitarist, so we decided that for the father-daughter dance Rob would play our song on my Papa's guitar. I remember him best when he was playing his guitar. So, Rob learned to play "Mr. Roboto" by Styx for my Dad. Which was another detail that was equally as hilarious as it was memorable!
3. Give us the one moment in your wedding you can't stop thinking about.
At our ceremony, at the very end, we had our organist, Reuben Weaver, play and sing "Grow Old With Me" by John Lennon. During that song, Rob and I just got to be together. It was the very first moment that we were married. It was just such an awesome feeling! And the song was just so beautiful. I will never forget that moment.


text: Yes, it was. The point guard is the spark plug of the team. In a car, if the spark plug does not work, the system is fouled. Putting in a new spark plug does not immediately make the car run so great. It takes time to clear the system out. To fix what ailed the Pistons last night, simple, don't break it in the first place by playing Bynum, ever.

Provo • Many of those attending the first public meeting Thursday on Google Fiber's arrival in Provo gave the plan a +1.
The thought of Google taking over the troubled iProvo network was appealing to those attending the meeting at Edgemont Elementary School, the first of several before Tuesday's vote on the proposal.
"[Google] has proven itself to be a great company," said resident Ken Richardson.
Mayor John Curtis announced Wednesday that Google would take over the network and upgrade its technology so residents could purchase 1-gigabit Internet speed. The deal also calls for Google to connect the 20,000 remaining households to the network and offer every home in the city a minimum of 5 megabits of download speed and 1 megabit on upload for at least seven years.
But Curtis noted at Thursday's meeting that there were a few caveats. Only homes near existing fiber lines would be connected to the network for free by Google, and the "free" Internet service would require a one-time $30 connection fee.
And city residents would still have to make the monthly $5.35 payment to retire iProvo's $39 million bond.
But Curtis told the more than 70 people at the meeting that it was still a good deal for residents. It relieves the city of the cost of maintaining the network.
"[Google] told us, 'If we start this process, and we don't finish, we will give you back a working network,' " Curtis said.
But Curtis is confident that Google will succeed where the city, Broadweave Networks and Veracity Networks failed. He said Google is committed to making it work.
There were still some concerns, given iProvo's troubled past.
"It sounds almost too good to be true," said Sharon Memmott, who hopes that it will work.
But others are looking forward to Google rolling out its service, including ultra-high-speed Internet.
Richardson said he will probably sign up for the gigabit service when it becomes available.
Provo is the third city where Google is offering Google Fiber. But unlike Kansas City or Austin, Texas, Provo has the advantage of having an existing fiber-optic network in place, said Matt Dunne, Google's community affairs director.

JUst saw the new Terminator man was it good Christian Bale did an AWSOME JOB loved the movie any body else seen it if so what did you think:)
Totally amazing!
Hopefully I will see it Wedneday. I have heard mixed reviews ranging from so-so to totally awesome.
I enjoyed it, but I went into it with WAY too much anticipation. It is good, but not amazing. It reminded me of how I felt after seeing ROTS at midnight. I enjoyed it, but was not satisfied. Salvation is no Dark Knight.....that is for sure!
Loved it! :thumbsup
I didn't expect a "Dark Knight" type of film and frankly, didn't want one! I was intrigued throughout the film to see where it would go, riveted by all the intense action scenes and it was definitely cool to see the homage paid to Arnold's T-800 Terminator in the Climactic Fight Scene! And so far for me, best movie of the summer! :thumbsup :thumbsup
It paid homage to T1 and T2 for me so I give it my thumbs up.
so unfair, us UK peeps have gotta wait till next month, ive been waiting for this film since i was like 10 :lol, so another few days is ok with me.
I saw the premier last Wensday and I loved it. I was always into the comics and novels and I love the route their taking for the story line.
i thought it was awesome!
I didnt like it.
In the first 3 movies, the future was always depicted as a massive battle field with a whole army of robots marching forward to destroy humanity. In this one the future is baren, you see a robot here and there, and honestly, besides the special effects it looked more like a fan film than a real movie.
What I did think was awesome, however, is how they made a believable Arnold show up in the big battle at the end. Whatever they did, it looked very, very real.
I am on the fence on this debate. While I would have liked to have seen the future as depicted in the first 2 (3?) movies, I realize this is 10 years before what was shown of that future. I thought the "resistance" was too well equipped. I would have liked to have seen John and company hiding in sewers and using rusted out cars fitted with machine guns rather than military planes and subs etc. My understading is that none of that should have been operational especially after what happened in T3.
That said... I liked the movie, thought it was well done, and agree that what they did with Arnold was awesome and very well done. I can let my criticisms go because it is 10 years before the future depicted in the flash forwards of the previous movies. Alot can change in a post apocolyptic world in 10 years.
My big question though is how does skynet know about the previous attempts on John's life if the terminators of T1,T2,&T3 weren't sent back until 2029 and the events of this movie happen in 2018? And how did hyperdyne/skynet have the technology to make Marcus in 2003 when they didn't perfect grafting flesh over the endoskeleton of the T-800 until 2018?
If you are willing to leave your brain at the door, this is a great film, but if you go in, like I often do, and analyze this movie on ANY level, it falls to pieces. While I like the termintor as a character, there was little else I can say I really enjoyed about this B film with an A film budget. I can certainly understand why a lot of people love the movie and from a popcorn standpoint, there is a LOT to love, but I tend to like movies that make me think and feel a little more and this one just didn't do it.
On final note, some of the visuals were just amazing.
I thought it was pretty good, however I believe they could have explained the whole ordeal with Reese being the father from the future and all that jazz. I was hoping for a bit of reference to the TV show, however Salvation is supposed to take place before the future that affects the show, so that's understandable. Overall I would probably rate it a B movie, High B!
I have have to admit it was no Dark Knight or Star Treck but it was better then the Xmen movie. that was good but his was better.
thinking about it on of the Terminators had a gattling gun atached to his arm that would make a sweet chain gun for a heavy mando
I don't know why people keep comparing this movie to the Dark Knight, those are two totally dif movies that should be left in two dif categories. I think its stupid to compare the two. On another note I give it two thumbs up :cheers I also loved how thet threw in some Alice in Chains along with Guns n Roses, that was sweet
They weren't that well geared if you really look at it. They had outdated A-10 Warthog planes and normal assault rifles. The subs would probably have survived due to people being IN them during JD, then coming topside to see what the hell had happened, donating them to the resistance to use afterwards. Now had they had fleets of ships and thousands of planes, it would have been silly, but a couple of planes and a old sub isn't that far fetched. PLus this faced against Skynet which utilizes every advantage we USED to have, ie: internet like coms, robots, and tons of tech, makes humans far outclassed. And they were hiding in sewers and cars were mostly a no no as shown in the movie.
This could get complicated try to stick with me. In T1, Kyle said they had won the war, but skynet sent back a terminator to kill Sarah before John was born. Kyle ended up fathering John and the terminator was defeated, however it's arm and chip with whatever information it contained was left intact and found by what became Cyberdyne and developed by Miles Dyson. Then Skynet sent back the T-1000 to kill a teenage John, in response to which John sends back the T-101 to save John. Which is successful and destroys the arm from T1, and both the original chip and the chip inside the T-101's own head. NOw in comes books that were written after T2, to take place between T2 and T3. Apparently there was a clone company that was formed that had it's own research, remember Arnold lost his arm in the gear and never did go and get it back, leaving yet another piece behind. But part of these books reveal a terminator similar to the female in T3, who muses that much of the information Skynet had, it got from the Terminators that was sent back to this time. Well flash forward ahead to T:S, Skynet would have access to that same information and be aware of those attempts. Also the Sarah Connor Chronicles show that terminators were sent back in time in order to influence events to ensure it's creation, ie: give scientists nudges in technological discoveries, hording supplies etc... The resistence itself did it, when they had the builder of the bank go back in time and secure the components to the rifle Cameron built inside the vault. So basically actions taken in the future became events that had happened in the past.Quote:
My big question though is how does skynet know about the previous attempts on John's life if the terminators of T1,T2,&T3 weren't sent back until 2029 and the events of this movie happen in 2018? And how did hyperdyne/skynet have the technology to make Marcus in 2003 when they didn't perfect grafting flesh over the endoskeleton of the T-800 until 2018?
I compared TDK and T:Salvation by likability. Which did I like more/lived up to what I was anticipating. I was eating up everything I could find on the net prior to seeing TDK and T:Salvation. I was extremely excited for both films going into the theater. I came out the TDK VERY VERY satisfied and happy. I walked out of T:Salvation feeling like something was missing. Maybe it was because there was no character development, little emotion, and a predictable twist, idk! The concept of Marcus's character was perfect for the audience to become emotionally attached to him. We should have been feeling for him and rooting though he was a machine. The concept of AI is awesome. If a machine can think and feel sadness, love, anger, etc, what is the difference between a human and a machine? Flesh and blood? It is the mind that defines a human, not their anatomy. The direction of the film didn't tap into this AT ALL.
Still a good movie, but the depth of the characters in TDK and the emotions you feel while watching the film is 10 to the nth power more powerful than T:Salvation.
This I agree with, it could have been better explained, I only kept up because I'm a book hound so I've read the stories as well. About the faster advancement, I'd have to say you're right on the money with that. Every time the sent one back it was better than the last, so it's natural to assume that with everyone sent back they'd see where that model's vulnerabilities and mistakes were and then make a new mode l without those faults. It's not the future his mother told him about because knowledge of the future changes it. His very actions to try to avoid that future affected how that future came about and how it was fought. It's like, if you know that 3 years from now, you're going to die in a car crash on Interstate 69., you're going to avoid driving on that interstate. That'd change the future so you wouldn't die on I-69, but you might still die, but just another way you didn't see coming.Quote:
Makes sense, but a little more development of how it ties together would have been good. I figured it could have been something along those lines of other Terminators coming back so that skynet has the knowledge, it just should have been addressed better. John says that this isn't the future his mother told him about; perhaps the machines advanced more quickly due to them sending more advanced technology back in time to further the advance of technology more quickly.

Today's guest is Kirsty Murray, author of books for children and young adults. Kirsty's most recent book is Vulture's Gate, and she is now working on her ninth novel (and fourteenth book).
But it's not my keyboard that I'd classify as my favourite writer's tool. In terms of writing novels, my dependence on the keyboard is second to my dependence on the big scarred, canite pin board that covers the wall above my desk. Without it, I don't think I'd be capable of writing another book. Having just found my way to the end of my ninth novel, the board is in a state of semi-undress. It grows organically across the course of a year until the visual clutter becomes overwhelming and I'm forced to spend an afternoon fiddling with all the images and notes that cover its surface. I use it every day, to review materials, to visualise the tasks ahead of me, to secure stray documents, and it provides a method for holding and accessing all the disparate threads of a major story without having to resort to endless flicking through notebooks and files.

text: Ruger is one of the few domestic companies that makes a decent field grade .22 semi-auto. I'm not talking target pistols either. I'm talking about guns like the old Colt Woodsman and other slim trim little .22s that made a walk afield the best time you could have with your clothes on. I never understood why Ruger refused to offer the MK I, II and now III short 4 3/4 inch with adj sights.able I have owned sevral MK II 512s. Perfect for the range but not like a Woodsman or Duramatic out in the field. Don't get me wrong, the Standard series are excellent guns already. I just think an offering with adjustable sights would make it that much sweeter.

Is Romantic prose a neutral instrument of representation? Does it struggle to engage questions of experience and sensation in new ways? How should prose be understood in relation to poetic expressiveness? The essays in this volume explore Romantic prose across multiple genres as a kind of performative utterance that redraws the boundaries between the private and the social.
This volume of five essays focus on how the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley uses and modifies Gothic conventions across his whole writing career so as, on the one hand, to extend the limits of the Gothic, shading it into a wider Romanticism, and, on the other, to press the limits of the Gothic down to their most basic foundations, releasing new potentials. These essays all argue in different way that, by the end of his career, Shelley has proposed an answer to the question: what does Gothic writing most basically assume in its mixtures of previous genres, and how do these assumptions both establish its limits and set the stage for transgressing them?

Why must we start with handguns that are only 6 months old or less? Why must we base the trigger quality only on reports from people who just spent a big chunk of money on a new gun, and may not even OWN or have shot anything else; do we somehow expect them to be LESS biased and more experienced? How do we measure the relative "softness" of recoil? Or the "capability" of "round stacking", whatever that is?
What about the fact that the Shield has no long-term record of reliability in the real world, that we have no idea how well it will hold up to large amounts of shooting in regards to durability OR accuracy, and that I wouldn't trade 20%-30% of my carry gun's magazine capacity (Glock 26) for an untested weapon that is .23" thinner but .43" taller (long grips/grip-frames "printing" on a cover garment are usually what gives away a hidden gun); not to mention losing a third of an inch in sight radius and "gaining" a heavier trigger pull.
The Bren Ten was once considered the "Gun of the Year" by some folks, too. Seen a lot of those floating around lately?

ROCHESTER, NY -- For the fourth straight season the RIT (17-2) men's lacrosse team advanced to the quarterfinals of the NCAA Division III Men's Lacrosse Championship with a 22-13 win over Cabrini College (15-4) in the second round on Saturday afternoon at Tiger Stadium.
The Tigers outscored the Cavaliers 15-7 in the second half, advancing to the quarterfinals for the fourth straight season where RIT will face Tufts University for the third straight season on Wednesday, May 15 at Tiger Stadium.
"I am so proud how we battled through a tough first half," said RIT Head Coach Jake Coon. "They (Cabrini) are a great team, and we needed a complete team effort to advance, and we got it today."
Sophomore Kyle Aquin (Hamilton, Ontario/St. Jean De Brebeuf) led RIT with a career-high six goals, while Eddie Kiesa (Syracuse, NY/Jamesville-Dewitt) had a career-high eight points on four goals and four assists. Jack Krzyston (Bedford, NH/Bishop Guertin), Taylor Wisman (Seattle, WA/Inglemoor), and Alec Sulesky (Medina, OH/Medina) each had three goals for the Tigers who set a record for most goals scored in a NCAA Tournament game with 22 on Saturday. Allister Warren (Toronto, Ontario/Malvern Collegiate Institute) and Braden Wallace (Oakville, Ontario/Abbey Park) each had two assists, and Pat Johnston (Norwell, MA/Norwell) picked up the win in net for RIT, making eight saves.
Anthony DiSanzo led Cabrini with six goals. Corey Elmer tallied four points on two goals and two assists, while Bobby Thorp had a goal and an assist for the Cavaliers who finish their season with a 15-4 record. Freshman goalie Chris Treat took the loss in net, making 11 saves.
Shots were 45-33 in favor of RIT, while ground balls were 47-36 in favor of the Tigers. RIT won 23-of-38 face-offs led by junior Tyler Brooks-Lambert (Seneca Castle, NY/Midlakes) who won 17-of-27 draws and had 13 ground balls. RIT's man-up unit, the top man-up unit in all of Division III, went 2-for-2 on the day and are now 42-of-72 (58.3%) on the season.
Cabrini led 4-3 after the first quarter as Damian Sobieski, Elmer, DiSanzo and Ethan Heisman each scored for the Cavaliers.
Kiesa had two of RIT's three goals in the opening quarter, giving RIT a 3-2 lead. But, goals by Heisman and DiSanzo to close out the quarter gave Cabrini the one-goal edge.
DiSanzo opened the second quarter scoring tallying at the 10:46 mark off an assist from Elmer giving the Cavaliers a 5-3 lead.
Two straight man-up goals pulled RIT even at 5-5. Aquin scored his 49th goal of the season with 9:45 to play to make it 5-4. That was Aquin's 17th man-up goal of the season, breaking the school record of 16 set back in the late '80's. Krzyston tied the score with 8:50 to play in the first half on his 44th tally of the season.
Matt Biegel answered right back for Cabrini scoring a man-up goal off an assist from Elmer with 7:09 to play in the first half, giving Cabrini a 6-5 lead.
Goals by Sulesky and Luke Wolfe (Buffalo, NY/Williamsville North) to close out the half, gave RIT a 7-6 halftime lead.
Cabrini opened the second half with consecutive goals by DiSanzo and Hiesman, giving the Cavaliers an 8-7 lead with 14:28 to play in the third quarter.
RIT would take control of the game from that point onward, rattling off six straight goals. RIT would go on to outscore Cabrini 12-1 over the next 16:08.
"Winning face-offs was a big factor in our run in the second half," said Coon. "Brooks-Lambert, Hossack and Keehfus were all sharp for us at the face-off "X" getting to the loose balls and getting us into our offense."
Wisman, Sulesky, Krzyton, and Aquin each had goals in the six-goal outburst by the Tigers, with Aquin and Wisman each having a pair in that stretch.
Wisman's 25th goal of the season with 3:14 to play in the third quarter gave RIT its largest lead at 13-8.
Thorp scored for Cabrini off an assist from Anthony DiNenno with 3:07 to play in the third, stopping the RIT run momentarily and cutting the Tigers lead to 13-9.
Aquin scored his fourth of the game with three minutes to play in the third to make it 14-9 RIT heading into the fourth quarter.
The run continued into the fourth quarter as RIT scored the first five goals of the quarter, taking a 19-9 lead on Kiesa's fourth of the game off an assist from Braden Wallace (Oakville, Ontario/Abbey Park) with 10:08 to play.
Sulesky, Krzyston and Zack Thompson (Orangeville, Ontario/Culver Academy) each scored in the latter stages of the fourth to make it a 22-13 final.
RIT will face Tufts for the third consecutive season in the NCAA Tournament. In 2011, the Jumbos beat RIT 16-12 in the national semifinals on RIT's Turf Field. Last year, RIT fell to Tufts 15-13 in Medford, Massachusetts in the quarterfinals.

Mikel Arteta believes a victory at Manchester City on Sunday would prove that Arsenal are as good as any team in the Premier League.
Arsène Wenger's side are unbeaten after a strong start to the new season, and have won three successive matches in all competitions.
They head to the Etihad Stadium in buoyant mood, and Arteta says it is the perfect time for the Gunners to underline their title credentials.
"It's still too early, whatever happens on Sunday, and I don't think it's going to change anything," he told Arsenal Player. "But if you get points there, and you win then you make a bit of a statement.
"It grows the confidence of the team and everyone around it who believes we are as good as anyone in this league. These are good places to show that.
"It's a huge test for us. We've been playing well. We played really good when we went to Liverpool - that's a tough place to get three points but we did it.
"[This is] another test. Man City haven't lost at home for a while. We know it's going to be difficult but I'm sure they will be thinking the same thing."
A late goal from Cristiano Ronaldo condemned City to a 3-2 defeat to Real Madrid on Tuesday, but Arteta does not believe it will adversely affect them against Arsenal.
"It can be like, 'Oh now we need a win to put that on the side'," he said. "To be honest, they created a lot of problems for Real Madrid and they went into the last 10 or 15 minutes of the game ahead of them at the Bernabeu, which is not easy at all.
"We know how good they are, how good players their players are and how tough they're going to make it for us. At the same time, they will be a bit scared as well."
Watch the full interview with Mikel on Arsenal Player now.

Hi all,
I have a quick question. I'm testing a firewall at the moment and I have two test laptops, one on the inside and one on the outside of the firewall.
What I want to do is run a tool on the inside system which essentially runs a service on all ports so that when I scan it from the outside, something like nmap will tell me how many ports respond as open or filtered based upon the firewall rule base.
Does that make sense? I need a tool to run on backtrack which will respond as open for any scan attempts. Any difference from 65535 TCP or UDP ports open is affected by the en route firewall.
A third party security audit is the IT equivalent of a colonoscopy. It's long, intrusive, very uncomfortable, and when it's done, you'll have seen things you really didn't want to see, and you'll never forget that you've had one.
What would be the purpose of that? Surely turning off the firewall, mapping the machine then turning the firewall back on is enough to test that the firewall is working correctly!
Why do you need a machine on the inside to tell you what ports are open?
Surely a firewall would stop anything getting through? ie a firewall lol
From the way I understand it just nmap on the laptop outside the firewall will give you the results.
what is your firewall? in-router type? or a smoothwall type?
the point of this test is to 100% verify what ports the firewall allows through, not to tell if it blocks some and lets some through. remember that this isn't hacking where you are trying to find one entry point, i need to find them all and quickly.
what i am doing at the moment is scanninig all 65535 tcp and udp ports from the outside through the firewall to my laptop and sniffing (tcpdump) all packets that get through the firewall.
This works fine, but the output from tcpdump is not as easily readable as the output from nmap/unicornscan etc. I can grep the tcpdump output, but it still requires too much effort on my part.
So, what I want is a tool to run on my laptop (backtrack) that runs a service on all 65535 ports purely to test the rule base of the firewall.
heard of anything like that?
Hi xatar use the following script.
It used the nc (Netcat network utility)
Code:#!/bin/bash ###################################################################### # test_all_con.sh # ###################################################################### #Simple netcat listen mode script #The script will launch a simple tcp socket on every port range chosen #Change the -lt value to your need #By drpepperONE ###################################################################### COUNTER=1 while [ $COUNTER -lt 65536 ]; do echo Listening on port $COUNTER /usr/bin/nc -l -p $COUNTER & let COUNTER=COUNTER+1 done echo "#############################################" echo -e "To kill all netcat daemon launch:\n" echo -e "pkill -f \/usr\/bin\/nc \n" echo "#############################################"
Save it in file test_all_con.sh and set the permission to 755.
If you dont have nc util get it from slapt-get:
slapt-get --install nc-1.10-i386-1
Use your Brain, don't be slave!!!!

I just wanted to sort of announce that I found this field called Route 7. Its in Estero which for those of you who dont know is in between Ft Myers and Naples located East of 75 on corkscrew. Their website is http://www.route7est...oute7/Home.html. The place is amazing mainly because its a true woodsball field out in the middle of nowhere in between Estero and Immokalee City. It is a Christian ministry outreach so for about 10 minutes in the middle of the day there is announcements about raffles, their speedball team and a bit of a devotional. The entry fee is $10 and that includes EVERYTHING. Your marker, hopper, tank, mask and paint. You literally just need a ride and some clothes to wear. Of course the marker, hopper, tank and mask are rental quality but shoot just as good. I believe theres 50 some acres out there with forts and all kinds of craziness. They have a hyperball field made out of tires/pallets and a speedball field soon to come. Just throwing this out there for anyone who cannot afford the painfully expensive fees all other fields have. Its only every other weekend from 8-12 but even still I go every weekend its on and its amazing. They have a food/drink stand out there as well. Any questions or wonders, reply here, PM me or on the site is a link to R7's facebook or even a phone number to ask questions if you would like. If your not sure about going because you dont know anyone out there just PM me and I can meet you out there. Hope to see some of you out there.
Its been over 2 years since I posted this and I have to say everything has changed at r7. Everything. There is now an actual safe zone. There are very strict rules on barrel sleeves. The whole field pitches in on calling someone out when not walking in with their sleeve on. Also very strict on mask rules. If your mask comes off on the field you are asked to leave. Its an incredible place now with a public speedball field to boot. $10 donation gets you a rental gun, mask and a hopper full of paint per game. Boxes of paint for sale on site as well as nachos, hotdogs, chips and drinks. Sometimes even grilled burgers or pulled pork. Come out and sweat with us!

Football is such an odd game. Games within games. Single plays or decisions that affect the outcome.
Case in point was this weekend for me and my football teams. I wrote a while back that I had a terrible footballing weekend when the Arsenal and my New York Giants delivered two terrible results against long-standing rivals. Results that ruined a weekend from start to finish.
This weekend provided some positive drama. Positive results for my teams, albeit in a very stressful manner. I'm beginning to think the Arsenal and Giants are somehow linked to cause me emotional pain and scarring.
The weekend began with another Arsenal game that provided us fans with frustration, but also reminders of what this team looked like at the beginning of the season. We still look a little fragile at the back - but that just reinforces how valuable Gibbs has been to us.
The real positive was seeing Jack on the pitch in an EPL game. The pressure for him to provide the magic to change our current form was no doubt felt, but it's just good to see him flying around the pitch. So good.
The game obviously changed with the sending off, giving us the man advantage. It was a new game to a degree that saw us deliver the much needed goal, but also gave us a couple hair-raising minutes that could have seen the win washed away.
Sure, it wasn't our finest display, but it was three points -- and another clean sheet. No real complaints from this American Gooner. You gotta start somewhere and a win obviously helps, gives us confidence even when we don't play at our best.
Now to the other weekend bookend. The football Giants once again played down to their opponent. Sound familiar? They built a huge lead, became complacent and choked it away. It truly was a game within a game. Thankfully the G-Men hung on for the "W". It was a good way to close out the weekend.
What's ironic is that the issue of technology played a big role in both results. The Giants won in part because replay officials overturned what appeared to be a game-winning touchdown in the final seconds. If the Premier League used a similar system, Arsenal's goal could have been ruled offside.
Stressful? Yes. Was it worth the watch? Of course. Best show on TV.
And please be sure to check out this week's episode of The Arsenal America Podcast later this week. We'll announce this week's guests on Twitter feed (@ArsenalAmerica) in the next few days. It will be available Thursday night Los Angeles Time.

Gee, I wonder why. Could it have been because, non-disclosure agreement or not, he didn't feel like having Dana go Dana on him over the phone? If you're essentially acknowledging that you called someone up so you could yell and swear at them, do you still get to act surprised when they don't pick up?

Our first garden wedding thoughts are always about bouquets featuring the freshest of flowers, such as garden roses and peonies, set in multiple smaller bouquets lining the table. It's all about bright colors too, which is why teal, coral, and even gold may be a palette to consider. Of course, a garden wedding wouldn't be complete without a backyard game or two (croquet anyone?).
Below are some of the gowns that we can picture you wearing as you spend the day with your closest family and friends as you're celebrating in a garden party themed soiree.
Veronica Sheaffer's collection featured a number of gowns perfect for an outdoor setting, including the Camellia – a tea length Swiss dotted chiffon design. The gown wouldn't be complete without the flower detail at the waist and a keyhole back.
It's not tea length, but we couldn't resist including this Angel Rivera floor length gown because his Spring 2013 collection was inspired by gardens. The stunning floral beaded train caused heads to turn when it walked down the runway, and we think the same will happen when you walk down the aisle. The gown would look fantastic in a tent under the stars.
Josephone by Janet Nelson Kumar continues the floral waist trend. The large flower is offset by a full satin-pleated skirt and spaghetti straps.

Re: FrankenBebi
Cap, I have no certain memory just a big fuzzy thought that large series-parallel arrays of LEDs with only the one resistor feeding them were frowned upon in this type of design? Wrong fuzzy memory, or is there something to that? No drawback?
Thanks for asking a question I can actually answer Up until Paul wrote up his excellent explanation of the elegant regulator circuit he designed for the FrankenBebi, I was a little unclear on how the circuit functioned as well.
Anyway on to your question... Generally speaking you would be correct for a couple of reasons.
First, a single (or even a group) of resistors for current control is not advisable in a situation where the input voltage may vary. Onboard, we could have from less than 12Vdc (batteries at less than 25% SOC) to over 18Vdc (battery equalization cycle). With a fixed resistance acting as current control, LEDs would dim at low voltages, and at higher than "nominal" voltage excess current would be dissipated as heat.
Second issue is parallel/series arrays are a problem in and of themselves. If we loose one LED in a series "leg" the current (say 100mA) that was divided among 5 legs is now supplying only 4 legs with a resultant 25% increase in forward current. If this exceeds the max forward current of the installed LEDs the magic smoke will escape, and we have a dead FrankenBebi
The latest design deals with these issues in the following manner.
Second issue first... The regulator circuit as designed is only driving the Cree C530D LEDs at about 60-70 percent of their rated max forward current. If we should lose one leg of the array, we are still below the rated max forward current for the balance of the array, hence no magic smoke.. Of course this situation would entitle you to a warranty replacement, but the FrankenBebi would continue to function until it arrives. The earlier change in board design
staggers the LEDs in any given leg around the radius preventing an entire 45 degree sector from going dark, as no LEDs in the same Leg adjoin each other.
As to the first issue (current control)... While the circuit contains a number of resistors, none of them actually provide current control as such. The current control circuit (which is on the low-side of the array) Uses a combination of 2 resistors (R3, R4) an N-channel MOSFET (Q3) and a general-purpose NPN transistor (Q2) Paul's explanation is as clear as it gets so here is a quote from his document
The regulator uses the base-emitter junction of Q2 to sense the voltage across R4. When this voltage exceeds the 0.68V forward bias voltage of this junction, Q2 begins to conduct current through R3, reducing the gate voltage on Q3 and reducing the current through the LEDs. If the current drops slightly, the base-current in Q2 is reduced, which causes the voltage at the gate of Q3 to rise, increasing the LED current.
Here is a local copy of the schematic for reference.
Hope that answers the question... Nice exercise for me to prove to myself I understand the new circuit. My previous background is in the mechanical end of things (ME not EE) so this whole project has been a real learning curve on the electronics end. I will be posting the latest (and last?) revision of Paul's circuit discussion paper (doc revision 1.2) which includes another section on testing, expected vs real test values, and troubleshooting. It will be accessible via the same links in the above post in an hour or so...
Good opportunity for me to thank you for your earlier suggestion about the "icecube" case. We are well on our way to solving the issues on that one, and it should be "ready for prime time" about the time our new batch of PCB's arrive in a few weeks.
Regards, David

Re: FrankenBebi
as an alternative to a blocking diode, what about installing a crowbar diode across the power leads? .... Rashly assuming a proper fuse has been installed
Crowbar would eliminate the voltage drop but too large a fuse (over the rated current of the crowbar diode) could cause the crowbar to fail open, cooking the innards anyway. Everything is a compromise, and from the performance of our prototypes at low battery voltages (less than 11Vdc) it was decided that the .5V drop across the Schotky diode we have decided to try will have a negligible impact on performance.
We would have preferred to eliminate reverse voltage protection all together (a can of worms indeed) but as it only takes a millisecond mistake to let the magic smoke out, we might be replacing a lot of units under warranty that were ok other than installation error.
As far as a strobe/sos generator, it should be fairly trivial to design if one does not already exist as an IC. Problem would be where to put it (see comments on board density above) and how to trigger it. It might however, make another kind of neat project as a stand alone device wired into the supply side circuit? If properly sized, it could be used on existing anchor/tri-light circuits or any other resistive load.
Hmmm.. add that one to the list of future Franken-Projects for the community to kick around.
Re: FrankenBebi
Cap, as an alternative to a blocking diode, what about installing a crowbar diode across the power leads? If power is hooked up in reverse, it goes through the crowbar and that appears to be a dead short, blowing the fuse in the power line to the light. Rashly assuming a proper fuse has been installed, of course. But it gets the voltage drop from a blocking diode out of the circuit. Or opens the whole can of worms on "protections".
I'd still suggest adding a chip (there must be cheap ones out there, because they are being used in really cheap flashlights) that would allow the light to strobe and SOS. Seen in LED flashlights shipping from China to the US for $5 each, including ground post shipping, so the chip can't cost more than what, one cheap LED does?

"He has erected a Multitude of new Offices, and sent hither Swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat out their Substance." Declaration Of Independence, 1776.
I often like to compare America to a hive of bees. Everybody in the hive has to work and produce. The only ones in the hives that do not produce are the drones. They are only kept to breed the queen. As long as times are good and plentiful, the drones are allowed to stay and eat. However, when times get tough, the drones are kicked out of the hive. There is only enough food for the productive members.
America is similar to the hive, but there is ONE exception. We allow the unproductive Drones (Government Workers - from dog catcher to President) to RUN the hive! And, I doubt that these Drones contribute more than one/one hundredth of one percent to the Gross National Product. And yet these Drones take good care of themselves. They constantly look for ways to take more from the productive members! You see this all the time as they constantly raise taxes and fees to fund their BIG FAT WAGES, BIG FAT BENEFITS and BIG FAT PENSIONS.
At this time millions of Americans are losing jobs, homes, pensions and so on. But, I'll bet that not one Drone has suffered any losses during these hard times. They are living the good life as usual. But, Drones still squeal like stuck pigs if they are told they may not get a raise while the productive people who are being ripped off to pay for their FAT benefits continue to lose everything.
There are probably millions of Drones in the various strata - city, county, state and Federal - of government. I remember once while I was working in a repair shop in Portland, that we had THREE (3) fire inspections (City, County and Federal, I think) in ONE WEEK! Our shop was crawling with Drones - 3 and 4 at a time! This was just after California passed Property tax limiting Proposition 13 and I told one of the Drones that we needed to do something like that in Oregon. He just laughed and said that he was going to retire soon and it wouldn't hurt him - He already had his BIG FAT PENSION assured!
During the debate on the ObamaScare health plan, one Representative added an Amendment that ALL DRONES would have to take part in the program! Of, course, that idea was quickly scuttled! There is NO WAY that any Drone wants anything to do with Obama's plan! Drones are well aware of what a scam it is and they have something far BETTER and plan to keep it! They feel that ObamaScare is OK for workers but NOT for Drones!
Reread the above quote from the Declaration of Independence and see if we aren't living in the same situation today!

Fifty-six minutes of first-team football for Arsenal was just what Aaron Ramsey needed, according to Arsène Wenger.
Following a substitute appearance against Manchester United last weekend, the Wales midfielder made his first Arsenal start in more than a year at the Hawthorns on Saturday. It was a welcome sight for his team-mates, manager and fans alike.
After understandably taking a while to find his range, the 20-year-old performed well and nearly got himself on the scoresheet when he fired straight at Scott Carson from close range after Robin van Persie's looping header hit the bar.
Ramsey was replaced by Nicklas Bendtner just before the hour as Arsenal searched for parity and his manager says the outing was just what was required.
"He needs these kind of games," said Wenger after the 2-2 draw with West Brom.
"I think he has a good opportunity to score in the first half [and] there was not a lot of space after.
"Ramsey was injured in February last year and we always knew that to be back playing again [would take] nine months and [to be playing] competitively in the Premier League [would take] one year. That is what has happened."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

rusted holes in air compressor tanks
Well, I drain mine every time I use it the gas powered 1. The electric compressors, I installed a electric dump valve thats on a timer that blowes off every 8 hrs. for 30 seconds. Guess WHAT ? I don't have (haven't had ) that problem in 40 yrs.
|I think the point has been made, but I'd to comment once more..... hydrostatic tests are required on most air pressure tanks, and hoses, gas bottles, also fire extingushers, water is pumped in up to or beyond the pressure limit, even if, or when it explodes, all you get is big bath or shower
Amazing how much damage one of those things can do! The one I mentioned involving a truck was at a mine in Kentucky, a DM800 Mack that was being used as a fuel service truck and had an air compressor to power the grease pumps mounted behind the cab. That one had been welded around one of the mounting feet where a crack had developed, probably due to vibration, and when it let go there was not enough left of the tank to determine for sure where the crack had started. Whether it started at the welded crack or another weakened area does not matter because the fact a crack had developed was a sure indication that the tank was finished and should have been scrapped! The force of the explosion ripped the top of the cab off and peeled it forward leaving it upside down on the hood, a mechanic working nearby was seriously injured to the point that it required MSHA (the mining equivalent of OSHA) being called in to investigate. These things do happen and it just gives me chills to think that someone would even consider welding a crack or a hole in a tank never mind cutting an old tank apart and trying to put it back together after patching it!
|I know this thread is done, but I'd like to make a comment. First I agree with what Red and what he said. Also, I used to work in a truck shop ( for 30 years) and seen some air tanks explode. One smaller verticle tank was welded around the seam at the top, due to a rust leak , and during the pressure check after welding, the top blow off with pieces of rust and metal in the guys body . Another one : Our trucks had this very large air tank mounted under the cab, opposite the fuel tank and just as big, it was used for 'air starters' which were popular years ago . Anyway, a combination of problems caused the air tank to explode , the truck looked like land mine exploded under it, and , yes, the driver was killed ....money or your life...... you decide
An engine hoist is just the ticket fot moving one of those..all you have to do is straddle the compressor with the legs of the hoist..hook it up so you can lift the compressor just enough to clear the floor and roll the whole affair to where you want it..I have moved quite a few heavy articles that way and engine hoists are not just for moving engines..
Why not look into a new tank and controls. A new tank can't cost as much as a new unit. And your pump/motor is probably in good shape. Chances are the quality of your old pump is much higher than what you can buy now.
This is a good time to work on your welding skills, cut the old tank in two and make a bbq out of it.
Sorry about this thread taking a left turn but honestly the point is exactly what you have arrived at- things do wear out and sometimes need to be replaced! All too often when someone asks a question like you had (very legitimate question BTW) it is too easy for some to sit at a computer and offer advice about something while giving little thought to the possible consequences and the actual size of the endeavor. In this case you were advised to go so far as to cut open an old tank that had already failed, cut out areas of damage, weld patches in place and then weld the whole thing back together! Just think about it, do you REALLY want to be anywhere near a compressor tank with patches on it? I sold and serviced compressors for over thirty years as part of my welding business during which time I have seen many failed tanks, along with the two that actually exploded, and I know from experience just how impractical and dangerous it would be to attempt some of the things suggested here. You made a very wise decision and you will certainly be much safer for it!
BTW, In spite of the common myth tank size has next to nothing to do with compressor performance so if the two compressors you were looking at were comparable in CFM ratings then you did not lose any performance by selecting the compressor with the 60 gallon tank.
You made the right choice
Glad to hear you're going to buy a new one
As has been said it's not a good idea to weld up a tank thats failing
18 years of service is long time !hopefully your new one will last as long
Suggestions on new compressor?
OK, this is hotrodman the original poster of the compressor tank leak. Thanks for all the information and advise. I certainly received more information than expected. I have looked inside the tank with a mirror and light and decided the tank has too much rust, the cut off switch was starting to give me trouble, and the unit is 18 years old, so I decided it is not worth fixing. I am going to buy a whole new unit.
1. I want at least the 60 gallon vertical tank design that I had. Two people can get this into a truck and maneuverd into place at the garage. Can any of you recommend one brand over another?
2. The compressor I really wanted was an 80 gallon vertical tank design, but the weight of the unit is close to 500 pounds. Not sure how to get this to the garage and maneuvered into place without hiring a delivery crew? Any ideas?
Will use the compressor at home for all types of body and paint work, pumping up tires, sandblasting, and cleaning parts.
Of course if they are anywhere near the darn thing then they won't have to worry about it!
That is the kind of thing that causes accidents and could very possibly get someone killed. Think about what you are suggesting, if the tank is rusty and there is a hole in it then obviously the metal is weakened by the rust and will be easy to see. If the tank was cracked instead of rusted and you cut the tank apart as suggested it might look OK inside but is it? If the dang thing is cracked then it is from metal fatigue caused by the repeated expansion and contraction of the tank during normal use and from vibration form the pump/motor. This DID NOT occur only in the small area of the crack and most of the rest tank will have fatigued too but you can't see that! If the crack is welded or, as was also suggested, a patch is welded in then the tank may have that tiny spot strengthened but the rest of the tank will still be dangerous. This entire subject is simply ridiculous, this is a dangerous and irresponsible thing to do that could very well cause an accident that could seriously injure or even kill someone! Fellas even suggesting to someone else to weld on a tank is irresponsible because there is no safe way to do it no matter how good the weld or skilled the welder, the rest of the tank is just as old and nearly as weak as the small spot that failed. Do you guys suggesting this ridiculous approach have any idea how much damage a 60 gallon tank can do? I have no doubt you do not or you would never recommend doing something so darn stupid!
People have been killed in the past and are likely to die from tank explosions in the future, it does happen! There simply is no argument that it does not, there are many documented cases of this happening and as I have said repeatedly I myself have seen two and both had been "repaired". It DOES happen and it CAN happen to you!
|I'm assuming that this unit is used at home, if not does not matter. YOU repair the tank and later in time something happens and the tank ruptures, thats what they do not explode, what ever dammage that should take place falls on your shoulders!!! Nothing will be covered by home owners/commercial insurance. YOU made unauthorised repairs to a piece of machinary. No insurance co. anywhere will pay off, your taking too much of a chance.
yep.. if a tank is rusty, replace it.. I had a portable air tank that I could hear rust scale in it... I cut the bung out of it, cleaned it out and turned it into a fuel tank.. couldn't trust it's integrity anymore
heres proof even new tanks can blow.. this is a tank used for air ride suspension from DNA, and it got bad enough DNA had to inform and recall the tanks because it was a manufacturing flaw and happened to others
think about the potential energy that is in the tank.. even a small leak could cause an explosion if the preassure is high enough, simply because of the amount of force the preassure puts on the hole
In all likelyhood the tank is rotten. (how old is it?)
If you want to fix it .
Try to just weld the hole up.(if you blow thru it & the hole gets bigger. Then you know it s rotten. If you feel you still want to fix it.
I'd cut the bottom out of it slightly up the sides so you can see inside of it.
If the rest of the tank appears solid AND you're a good experienced welder you could weld in a new bottom. Might be safer to buy a new one and a lot less work.
Read the whole thing? Sure I did and what I read was advice to weld on this old tank which is extremely dangerous whether you believe that or not! The statement was clearly made that tanks do NOT explode which they in fact certainly do! Argue to the contrary if you like but there are many examples of them doing just that. Like I said I have personally seen two and have seen several safety bulletins of more examples, the vast majority being old and/or repaired tanks. Darn right I came on strong because that kind of advice can get people hurt or killed and there should be no misunderstanding of just how dangerous this practice is, I am speaking from many years of dealing with these things and I know first hand just how dangerous it is.
The fact that tanks are welded together means nothing because these are welded using new metal while a cracked/leaking tank is rusty and/or fatigued. "Can someone safely repair an air compressor"? I assume you mean tank? then no you can not because even if the crack/hole is "repaired" you still have a dangerous, weak, rusty and fatigued tank which almost certainly will be damaged even more in the attempt to weld it. When a tank has reached the end of it's service life then a fatigue crack or rust hole should be considered a safety warning that the tank is finished and attempting to extend it's service life is setting it up for disaster. Like I said before it makes no difference how skilled the welder is or how good the weld is the tank is STILL seriously compromised.
If you use your brain you should know better than to attempt to do this and someone who knows what they are doing will not attempt it!
