Hot Coffee Mod
Finally replaced my old Core i7 920 cube with a more svelte and user friendly HAF-X case. Should've taken a few photos while it was under construction and looking showroom perfect, but I did make a few quick and dirty pics of it in operation.
I was originally aiming for purple liquid to match the black tubing, and it was purple in the jug but for some reason the red dye quickly turned brown in the loop... so now it looks like the reservoir is filled with coffee with dairy creamer in it. I don't drink the stuff so it's better off in there anyway. So now it's just my hot coffee mod.
As for the modded part, this is a HAF-X with the typical double-thick Thermochill triple 140mm radiator stuffed into the top. All that required was six screw holes to mount, even the 140mm fans all fit easily under the plastic top so I really have to hand it to Cooler Master for such a WC friendly design! Room for the pump was actually the biggest problem...
It's still a work in progress, the fan wires will be removed and I'll rewire all the fans through the top bezel next time I remount the radiator. Motherboard has seven fan headers and I stuck a low-speed fan off every one... https://www.dropbox.com/sh/7mdzh4yhqo8on3o/0PyW9xrAJs
Under full load at 3.5Ghz the new rig literally uses about 145 watts less power from the wall as compared to the 920 rig. Temps dropped considerably as well and depending on the room temp won't exceed 50c for the CPU cores or GPU core under a sustained load in my low-noise profile. This is a rig that will be near silent in a quiet room while maintaining a moderate overclock on everything.
As a side note. I took my OS drive straight out of the X58 motherboard and plugged it into the Z87 board.... Win 7 booted right up without nary a complaint and a few drivers later it's actually good as new, even all the drive letters are still correct. Did have to reactivate it of course, but I guess not a lot has changed in chipsets within the last five years...

It's a little bit hilarious that our GPU test rig uses the exact same chassis + PSU (though the chassis will be turning into a Storm Trooper soon).

It's not purple at all, quit looking at the tubes
The red dye is apparently breaking down anyway stuff was completely useless. The water is back to a clear blue color although the red left a film I'm gonna have to clean out of the reservoir, bah.
And nah you misunderstand, it required ALL the drivers just for things to work, wasn't able to auto-install any of them which is no surprise honestly. Figured I'd trash the OS with overclocking then decide whether to do a clean Win 8 install or not.
My chip is a pretty bad overclocker, cache coherency is the limiting factor in the OCs so I'm having to adjust other voltages more than actual vcore. It's still one hell of a hot chip... it can reach 90c in temps but the back socket plate is hardly even warm.... Pretty much proof right there that the thermal compound underneath the IHS pretty much ruins high OCing on these chips.
Found some stable settings at 4.3ghz, but still going to try and eeke out a little more.

Posted by Rick Holland on April 22, 2013
I was very excited to finally get a copy of the much-anticipated 2013 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR.) I have found the report to be valuable year after year. This is the 6th iteration and this year's report includes 621 confirmed data breaches, as well as over 47,000 reported security incidents. 18 organizations from across the globe contributed to the report this year. The full report is 63 pages, and I have to say that Wade Baker and company did a great job making it an enjoyable read. I enjoyed the tone, and I found myself laughing several times as I read through it (Laughing and infosec aren't commonly said in the same breath.) There are tons of great references as well, ranging from NASCAR, to Biggie Smalls, the Violent Femmes and more. The mantra of this year's report is "Understand Your Adversary' is Critical to Effective Defense and Response." Here are a few observations:
The focus on the adversary answers customer questions. Who is the adversary? This is a frequent question from Forrester clients. The Mandiant APT1 report stirred up much debate on state sponsored actors and Verizon's data and analysis gives us more perspective on this class of threat actor. The first table in the report profiles the threat actors that are targeting organizations. It provides a high level view that I suggest you include in any type of executive engagement activity you participate in. This 3rd party snapshot of the threat actors should resonate with a wide degree of audiences.

In the calculations I used ether the max cartridge diameter or the chamber diameter, what ever one was largest. I did this to reflect The kind of pressure that the bolt would experience with a case head separation. All of the calculations are setup in that manner. Actual bolt thrust will be less given the area on the inside of the cartridgeis less than what I am using, the drag between the case walls and the chamber also will reduce the force on the bolt.
Based off of the calculations the 7.62x39 has the most Bolt force of the Saigas with the standard trunnion.
Of the bulged trunnion the 7.62x51 has the larger bolt thrust even thought he 9x53R has a larger case head.
The 6.5x52 Carcano is actually under the amount of force of all of the standard trunnion Saiga calibers, and the 6.5x54M-Sch. is a little over the 7.62x39 for force on the bolt.
The 7.62x54r is close but a little over the force of the 7.62x51. Note the PSL does not have any proof marks on it so we can't hold it to up in comparison. Though the VEPR 308 does have the proof marks and it is using the RPK74 trunnion and bolt. As far as I have found in my research it was the standard rpk74 trunnion and standard AK74 stile bolt. The AK74 bolt does have thicker lugs than the AKM bolt though.
As I said before by reading this you take responsibility for any repercussions of the actions you take based on this information. I haven't rigorously checked over my calculations so I would recommend doing the calculations yourself if you are even thinking of doing anything with with the information I have posted. If anyone finds any errors please alert me to them.

I've got a '75 cutlass and am doing a 2000 LS1 swap, but I'm not sure what Trans to use. I'm going with an auto. I've been told to get the 4L60e. I have a TH350 sitting in the garage. any suggestions on what i should do?
The 4L60e would be my choice too. The overdrive will let you use some decent rear gears while increasing fuel efficiency. Companies such as TCI and B&M sell stand alone electronic transmission controllers if you need one.
I suppose the first post should've asked if this is going to be a street car or race car. Mostly street use the od trans.Mostly track, the th350 is easier to make strong enough to handle the abuse that racing puts on transmissions.


text: The only grips you can "add" to your polymer Kahr are either the ones featured on the Kahr site or a Hogue Handall Jr, which works extremely well, and once in place, will not come off or shift around. They also add a little bit of a swell to the handle which , in my opinion, really transforms the feel of it in your hand. I highly recommend it, just my 2 cents!

One of the most rewarding things about studying religion is that it's given me a much clearer understanding of the culture wars. If religions are essentially collections of arbitrary demands and senseless supernatural claims, then there's not much at stake when it comes to the great cultural divides in our modern culture. But if religions are not arbitrary – that is, if their components, such as rituals, mythologies, and symbols, actually play functional roles in organizing and orchestrating collective life – then traditionalists and conservatives have valid motivations to retain and defend their traditions. This is because humans are utterly dependent on one another for survival, and any tool or institution that facilitates collective living is thus worth keeping around. Progressives, academics, and secularists would to do well to pay attention to these motivations if they want to understand the seemingly irrational fervor with which traditionalists defend their faiths.

Savvy security professionals are migrating to digital video solutions in droves, and with good reason: surveillance digital video recorders (SDVR) boast an unprecedented combination of video quality, storage capacity and flexibility, enabling SDVR-based systems to deliver an impressive range of enhanced capabilities:
Abundant storage capacity is a fundamental enabler of such capabilities, and it is here that some video surveillance deployments can go amiss. In an effort to minimize costs, some SDVR systems may utilize multiple low-cost, low-capacity hard disk drives (HDDs) to meet their storage requirements. On its surface, this approach appears to be a viable option to reduce storage expenditures.
But initial purchase price is only one part of total cost of ownership, and in other respects this budget-drive approach actually inflates SDVR system costs. Specifically, deploying a plethora of inexpensive desktop-class drives consumes more drive slots, requires more power (while producing more unwanted heat) and significantly reduces system reliability. In many SDVRs there are only a limited number of drive slots available, and budget drives lack sufficient capacity for more and/or higher-quality video streams or longer retention of video data.
The solution? Scale up capacity with a smaller number of large (up to 6TB) HDDs, purpose-built for surveillance storage duty. The benefits of this approach are both significant and multifold: Compact, more space-efficient SDVR systems can meet the elevated capacity needs of sophisticated surveillance environments, power consumption and failure-inducing heat are both reduced, and cutting the number of drives ensures fewer potential points of failure and thus higher reliability.
The Economies of Scale
Increasing the scale (or capacity) of the drives an SDVR uses while decreasing their quantity pays numerous dividends, both fiscal and physical. As illustrated in the following tables, a single 6TB surveillance drive offers vastly more capacity, consumes much less energy (thus producing far less heat) and delivers greater reliability than SDVR storage that utilizes multiple inexpensive desktop-class drives.
Maximum Capacity
An obvious benefit of purpose-built surveillance HDDs derives from their exceptionally high capacities. One 6TB surveillance drive can store 84 days of high-quality video streaming (1280×1024 frame resolution, 30fps, H.264 compressed video). Drop the stream to 704×480 resolution/10fps, and that drive can store a whopping 804 days of video data Greater capacity also enables more video streams to be easily added for broader security coverage. With over six times the capacity of some inexpensive desktop-class drives, a 6TB surveillance drive enables a multitude of video cameras to be deployed, significantly increasing the cost-effectiveness of more compact SDVR systems. For example, a single 6TB drive can store over eight month's worth of video streams from ten cameras (352×240 resolution/10fps).
Note: The preceding figures and those in the table following reflect H.264 compression; results will vary depending on video compression formats and specific video recording applications used.
*Comparison between a 6TB Seagate® Surveillance HDD and an average 1TB standard desktop drive.
Energy Efficiency
Reducing the power consumption of HDDs used in SDVR systems is a key objective for several reasons. Cost savings arising from the fewer watts used by surveillance drives is an obvious benefit, but this greater energy efficiency also results in less heat output. Heat is the enemy of all electronic devices, and reduced drive temperatures ensure that the system runs cooler, enhancing the reliability of both the drives and the SDVR that houses them.
In addition, with surveillance drives imposing less of a thermal load on the SDVR system's cooling capabilities, SDVR builders are free to employ additional and/or more powerful MPEG encoders and decoders in the system without fear of overtaxing its heat dissipation abilities.
* * Comparison between a 6TB Seagate® Surveillance HDD and an average 1TB standard desktop drive.
Superior Reliability
A key external variable affecting both system and HDD longevity is heat. Packing a system with more lower-capacity drives to meet a given capacity level can significantly raise system and drive operating temperatures. And because these budget-priced desktop drives lack application-specific features to address power management, they are more prone to heat-related failures caused by the rigorous duty-cycle and power-on requirements of 24×7 surveillance duty.
More drives in a storage system also mean more potential points of failure. Note that a system's annualized failure rate (AFR) is additive—the AFR of all drives in the system must be combined to calculate net AFR. Furthermore, the specified AFR of desktop drives is obtained in undemanding 8×5 desktop computing environments and can significantly underestimate the actual AFR such drives will experience in grueling 24×7 surveillance environments.
*Comparison between a 6TB Seagate® Surveillance HDD and an average 1TB standard desktop drive.
Purpose-Built Advantage
Surveillance drives are specifically optimized for digital video security use and thus incorporate advanced power management capabilities. In SDVR systems where massive amounts of information are stored, the large number of drives required can present power consumption challenges when the system starts up. Surveillance drives solve this by drawing less current at startup, which enables the use of smaller power supplies that produce less heat.
Surveillance drives take advantage of energy-conserving features during normal operation as well. Any drive in the system can be spun down into power-saving mode when not in active use. This significantly enhances system cooling efficiency and thus overall system reliability.
In addition to power management capabilities that reduce power consumption and heat generation to improve reliability, purpose-built high-capacity HDDs for surveillance feature optimized firmware to cater specifically to video streaming. ATA-7 streaming commands, along with optimized seek profiles, enable surveillance-ready HDDs to efficiently handle multiple simultaneous video streams without degradation in reliability or performance (commonly seen in utilizing standard desktop-class drives).
While deploying a number of inexpensive, low-capacity desktop drives in an SDVR system may seem a tempting way to cut costs, it quickly becomes apparent that this is a false economy. Purpose-built surveillance drives cost only slightly more in terms of GB/dollar than a multitude of desktop-class drives, yet require fewer SDVR drive slots to deliver much higher capacity, consume far less energy and generate less system-threatening heat, all while delivering superior reliability.

In love with this scent
It is such a clean and refreshing scent! Years ago, when I was a kid I bought this body lotion at a botanical garden store and long missed it for years until I realized it was the Thymes company. Since then, I have loved to explore their other scents. This is a great out-of-the-shower scent that doesn't overpower and my go to for daily use.

Vito Mannone believes his time at Hull City gave him the mentality of a No 1 goalkeeper.
The Italian has started, and kept clean sheets, in each of Arsenal's last two games, having replaced the injured Wojciech Szczesny.
And Mannone insists that playing regularly in the Championship has played a part in his assured performances for the Gunners.
"When you're No 1, you feel important and like the happiest man in the world," he told Arsenal Player. "That sort of feeling gives me the chance to go onto the pitch with confidence. I had some good games [at Hull] and it was a great experience for me.
"I knew the place already because I went before [in 2010/11]. I found the same team-mates and the same team. I found a good manager in Nick Barmby and I thought I could train well and be the No 1."
Mannone created quite a reputation for himself at Hull, at one point keeping a record-breaking six consecutive clean sheets - and nine in 11 games. Now the 24-year-old wants to use that experience as he fights for a first-team place at Emirates Stadium.
"The Hull defence was good and we all played together and tried to get better every time we went on the pitch," he said. "For me the best thing was playing senior football and playing consecutive games and getting the mentality of the No 1."

On Dec. 8, Andrew van Leeuwen, Assoc. AIA, and Kevin Eckert, LEED AP, principals of the Seattle-based firm BUILD LLC, explained to a crowd of architects why the firm embraced social media some years ago and why more architects need to step up their efforts.
"As architects we have very little training in promoting ourselves," van Leeuwen told the audience. "The typical mindset is if you work hard enough and do great enough work, the clients will be lined up outside your door. And as great of a vision as this makes, in our experience, we have found that this vision is a fallacy."
Instead, van Leeuwen and Eckert stress that architects need to understand the concept of self-promotion, and tactical social activity is all the more important for young firms that do not yet have a strong social network. Social media, the designers say, attract a tech-savvy crowd that is affluent and favor modern design, which means potential customers. Moreover, the duo says the architectural profession could use more transparency.
Eckert and van Leeuwen wanted to be communicative and share information wherever and whenever they could. This epiphany aligned well with blogs coming to prominence and the birth of social media, they note.
As a result, BUILD LLC uses social media platforms on a daily basis, including Twitter, Facebook, and its own popular blog. The firm uses the platforms to support good architecture and foster a dialogue about design, but social media also allows the firm to play a significant role in the evolution of the profession.
Since launching the blog, the firm has found that Sweden is the third most-popular country of its readership after the U.S. and Canada; 1,815 is the average number of site visits per day; and 23,153 is the highest number of views for any single post.
The two designers have these pointers for architects looking to start their own social media efforts:
Blogs should show photography and lifestyle themes;
Look for inspiration from tech geeks, artists, and photographers;
Use blogs for case studies with presentations, sketches, and drawings;
Take your own photos;
Remember to be consistent;
Try for two posts per week;
Talk about process, such as drywall, concrete pouring, etc.;

"The new economy requires an evolution of thinking by architects and designers," van Leeuwen said. "It's apropos that the new economy has so closely aligned with the social media revolution. We've embraced social media in architecture and it's hard to imagine going back. It's allowed a full workload in an otherwise challenging economy, we've never been so engaged in the dialogue of design in the world, and we've never had so much fun sharing useful information. Social media is separating architects into two camps; those who use old math and those who use the new math."

I have Alzheimer's disease. It took me a long time before I could even say the words. When the doctor first told me, I felt like my life was over. For a while, I was depressed. My doctor told me about medicine I could take [1]. She said it would slow down my memory loss for a while. I know it's not a cure. Still, it feels good to do something.
My family has been wonderful. They're helping me plan for the care I'll need. I have decided to take each day as it comes. I want to live my life as fully as I can.
Alzheimer's disease [2] is an illness of the brain. It causes large numbers of nerve cells in the brain to die. This affects a person's ability to remember things, think clearly, and use good judgment.
Doctors don't know what causes the disease. They do know that most of the time it begins after age 60.
Alzheimer's disease often starts slowly. In fact, some people don't know they have it. They blame their forgetfulness [3] on old age. However, over time, their memory problems get more serious.
People with Alzheimer's disease have trouble doing everyday things like driving a car [4], cooking a meal, or paying bills. They may get lost easily and find even simple things confusing. Some people become worried, angry, or violent.
As the illness gets worse, most people with Alzheimer's disease need someone to take care of all their needs, including feeding and bathing. Some people with Alzheimer's live at home with a caregiver [5]. Other people with the disease live in a nursing home.

A collaboration between Alfred Hitchcock and Ridley Scott?
Would this be considered "screampunk"?
time flies when you're having fun.

I now have enough motivation to move on with my life because of this awesome shirt. *watches A clockwork Orange*
Where does the time van Gogh?
I love clocks, and I love crows. But sadly I just have too many woot shirts to be able to pick this one up tonight. Otherwise I would have been very tempted. Congrats, it looks very nice. :D
I love this design. It's wild, dramatic, and nuts!
Noooooooo! Equinox should have been up here.
Not that I don't like this design, I was just really hoping for Equinox
first thing I thought of when I saw that shirt was "Gun Run", a game on miniclip. *Goes off to play gun run*
This shirt is cuckoo!
Good looking shirt :D
Finally a crow that isn't susceptible to west nile!
I fear time is running out for that crow.
Grats on the print.
It would hurt to get hit by those bird droppings.
My excitement has no words.
chrisprender wrote:Would this be considered "screampunk"?
If you really want to stretch it, it could be, since it relies on clockwork and not electricity. But personally, I don't think I would.
Of course, give the crow a top hat and/or a monocle, and we have ourselves a deal.
Oh nice, I liked this one as well, it's very stylish. Awesome job littleclyde.
I can't wait to see the ECs.
This was a damn close derby. Only 90 votes separated 2nd place from 10th!
At first I had birds attacking me, now they are machines? Man Skynet is really getting desperate.
I love all things clockwork!
birds of a feather clock together
Absolutely thrilled that this printed. I've been hoping to get one of these since it was in the derby. Brilliant work!
at least there's not a bunch of crows; that would be murder.
I hope littleclyde is COGnizant of the fact that a Woot Shirt design is a CROWning achievement and he is now GEARed up for greatness.
Was considering buying based solely on the artists "hometown"... but I think it's like cake
Anyone know what's the difference between a crow and a raven? I don't know why I'm asking this, but this shirt made me curious.
brb, google.
Win! I was hoping this one went up, love the design :D
Glad to see this print after it missed out in its original derby. Congrats!
Strange though that third place only had 500 votes. It seems there have been a lot less voters lately. Top 3 shirts usually had well over 800 votes each, even into the 1000s.
Yo Clockwork Crow, you're a nice design, and imma let you finish, but Duck and Cover is one of the best shirts of all time. OF ALL TIME

brb, google.
Many people use the terms 'raven' and 'crow' interchangeably, but they are actually quite different. Technically, since ravens belong to the crow (corvus) family of birds, they can be called crows - but not all crows are ravens. The two differ in a variety of ways.
First, and most noticeably, ravens are larger than crows. They are (on average) about the size of a hawk, where crows are approximately the size of a pigeon.
If you're familiar with the call which crows make, you'd probably recognize the raven's call as being different. Crows have a more nasal, higher pitched call, where a raven's call is lower, and hoarser... almost a croaking sound. I've frequently been approached by people saying "I heard this really funny-sounding crow the other day..." and when I ask "Was it a really big crow?" the answer has almost invariably been yes. In which case, chances are pretty good that it wasn't a crow at all, but a raven.
If you want to hear the difference for yourself, click here for a raven's call and crow's call.
Tail feathers
Crows have a very fan-shaped tail, where raven's tails have more of a wedge-shape to them. This isn't very easy to tell if the bird is sitting on the ground, but when flying overhead, you can often get a good look at the shape of the tail.
Feather shape
Ravens' feathers are also a slightly different shape than crows' feathers. Crow feathers tend to be more rounded at the tip, while ravens have feathers which are slightly pointed. This is most noticeable on the breast feathers, especially when the bird fluffs itself up. The feathers on the crow's breast lie comfortably against eachother and provide a nice, even, rounded covering. The feathers on a raven lie a little more jaggedly, and when a raven fluffs up, its breast tends to look ragged. In fact, when a raven really fluffs up and all its feathers look like they're standing on end, the raven appears to have a short fluffy mane (called a 'ruff').
Ravens and crows can often be found living side by side in the same areas, but where there's a choice, Ravens prefer wilder areas while crows will live quite close to cities. The bigger the city, the less likely ravens will make it their home -- and when they do, they tend to live in or near parks and natural spaces. Crows, on the other hand, are more likely to live near buildings, and will venture farther into human developments to compete for food.
There are more differences between crows and ravens, including their social habits and life span (ravens live longer), but these are the key points. They should help you determine whether the bird you're looking at is a raven or just a very large crow.

Q: How is a crow like a writing desk?
Q: At Christmas, who brings presents and toys to all good little crow girls and boys?
Q: How can you tell when a crow is insane?
Haha, alright, I'll stop
You want Ridley Scott jokes? I got your Ridley Scott jokes:
-Ridley Scott thinks that Guiness Stout is a 'light' beer.
-Ridley Scott once thought that stumbled upon skinny one-eyed aliens hiding in a movie trailer until his assitant told him he had simply found lighting storage.
-A power failure on the set of one of Ridley Scott's films led to a black out and took over an hour before anyone noticed.

Women's Basketball Recruiting Update
As the summer draws near and classes begin to end, the Iona College women's basketball team's incoming group of freshmen have been finishing up her high school careers. ICGaels.com and head coach Anthony Bozzella wanted to let fans know how the group did this past season as they prepare to suit up for the Maroon & Gold next season.
Cassidee Ranger, a late signee from Chandler, Arizona, was a member of a 5 A1 state championship finalist team a season ago at Hamilton High School, the first in school history. A three-point specialist, Ranger broke the school's single season record for threes in a season and tied the school record with six three-pointers in a game. She was also named an AIA All-Section Honorable Mention and named to the Arizona Senior All-Star Team. She was also a finalist in the three-point contest at American Family High School Slam and 3-Point Contest.
Joy Adams was named First Team All-Metro and Second Team All-County in her final season at Evans High School and named Florida Athletic Coaches Association 7A District 11 Player of the Year. MVP of her squad, Brown finished her high school career with 1541 points and 1081 rebounds.
Jordan Henry led her squad in almost all categories, posting 13.9 ppg, good for eighth in Union County. Her 15.3 rebounds per game and 6.3 blocks per game were both tops in the county. She leaves Marvin Ridge as the school's all-time leader in points witrh 1021, rebounds with 957 and blocked shots with 280. The rebounds and blocks were the most in school history by both a men's or women's performer. Henry earned First Team Recognition by AllUnionCountyHoops.com and named Player of the Year by that publication as well as the Union County Weekly.
Kalesia Johnson duplicated her scoring average of her junior year, posting 18.7 points per game. Johnson increased her playmaking role, posting six assists per game, doubling her input from the previous season. She was named Osceola County Player of the Year for a second consecutive season and named to the CEntral Florida Top 20. Poinciana captured its third consecutive district championship and second ever Sweet 16 appearance in school history.
Christina Rubin was named First Team All-Staten Island by the New York Daily News and named to the Staten Island Advance High School All-Star Team. Rubin averaged 18.4 ppg, 4.3 rpg and 2.4 apg on a team that won four consecutive CHSAA Archdiocesan titles. Rubin finished her career with 1308 points, including 182 career three pointers.
Aaliyah Robinson averaged 17 points and 11 rebounds per contests as well as four steals per game. She was named to numerous postseason teams, including the Connecticut High School Coaches Association All-State Team, named All-Division by the Southern Connecticut Conference, All-County by the New Haven Tapoff Club, All-State and All-Area by the New Haven Register.

Today's Hours: 10AM – 5PM
Dutch, 1872–1944
"Every true artist has been inspired more by the beauty of lines and color and the relationships between them than by the concrete subject of the picture."
Piet Mondrian exhibited for the first time at the age of twenty-one. When he came into contact with Cubism, it was the beginning of an increasingly rigorous path toward complete, non-objective abstraction. By 1920–1921 he had achieved what he called "Neo-Plasticism," a style characterized by horizontal and vertical lines and planes of primary colors, each avoiding individuality, regularity, and references to nature. His belief that this new language of painting would meld with a new social dynamic was shared by other artists and architects, and together they founded the De Stijl movement.Let Mondrian inspire your students to: - Use colored tape and construction paper to create a map of their neighborhood or the floor plan of their school. - Create a sun-catcher using clear contact paper and color transparencies. - Arrange Post-It notes or paint chips on a large piece of paper then add black masking tape to create lines across the page. - Create geometric jewelry using Shrinky Dinks and colored Sharpies.Web resource:Mondrian: Coloring Page, Enchanted LearningFind out more from The Museum of Modern Art:View from the Dunes with Beach and Piers, Domburg, gallery label textTrafalgar Square, gallery label text

I need help with fender patch panels.
1 Attachment(s)
this is a little long, but I could really use your help.
57 Chevy Pickup Truck - 3100 (attached is a picture of the patch panel).
Fender tips are rotted out on both sides, I've got both of the pre-fabbed patches for the fenders. My passenger side also had substantial damage to the brace down near the bottom. I cut it off above the damage and hammered it out...but later decided to purchase a new brace.
I've been using the method described on the Brothers Trucks site to install the patch panels:
-clamp new panel over old panel, ensuring it's perfectly aligned
-cut through both panels.
-Remove clamps and old panel.
This leaves you with a new panel that matches your cut line where you will butt-weld.
-intergrip new panel to existing panel
I've had good success on doing my one door like this. I was scared out of my mind to do the door, but it's turning out ok. I thought the fenders would be a breeze.
Here's the actual problem.
On my drivers side fender, the new patch panel fits perfectly over the top of the original. So I can clamp this down and cut.
BUT on my passenger side, the panel doesn't seem to be fitting on all of the way. I think I've identified why. It seems like since I removed the damaged brace, the fender has flattened out, where it should be curved to lock into the brace at the bottom.
Dilemna. There currently is no brace in place to lock the fender into the correct shape
I COULD install the replacement brace to get the fender locked into place...BUT, I'm going to end up cutting off the bottom of the fender anyhow.
I've PONDERED measuring the replacement panel and also measuring the fender and just manually making the cuts. I'm not really good at measuring or cutting so this scares me. ALSO, I have no idea what to use as a REFERENCE to do my measuring.
The original fender is pretty corroded at the bottom and also whacked out of shape...how can I measure from there?
The replacement panel doesn't span the height of the original fender, so where can I reference off of the original fender and apply to the patch panel...
I'm soooo lost. help me please. :(
if you guys want pictures of what I'm trying to convey, I can take some tonight. thanks for any and all input.
I think that you should replace the brace before you cut out the old sheet metal. That way, you can keep everthing in alignment better.
More pics would help, and we would like to see what you are doing.
the point I'm trying to get across is that the fender actually wraps around the brace and is tacked at the bottom.
this gives the fender a wee bit of arc to it.
Now what is the best approach for putting this brace back in? I mean, I certainly don't want to reinstall it onto the old portion of the fender? know what I'm saying?
I'll try to get soem pictures tonight.
The thing is, that you want to keep that arc the same shape. Sometimes to keep things the same, you have to do stuff twice.............
I'm just guessing here, as I don't know you exact situation.
Can you show pictures of the inner brace?
yeah you're probably right here. instead of keeping everyone guessing, I'll snap some pictures and that will give you a better idea of what I'm talking about.
I'll be sure to move the gasoline away from my welder so you don't see how unsafe my shop is. :thumbup:
If you are worried about welding and then unwelding the brace why not drill a hole and use a small self tapping screw to hold it together. You will be geting rid of that piece of metal later so you can't mess it up
Thats one of SEVERAL reasons we opted to get another door for the 59. Way too much work to rebuild that door.
You could make a curvature template from the opposite fender for referencing using c'board and some 24ga sheetmetal as the final temp.

Take an adventure holiday in the SPITSBERGEN with World Expeditions, one of the world's leading travel companies.
The Arctic group of islands known as Svalbard, or Spitsbergen (or even Spitzbergen) was a no-man's land until in the 1920's it became Norwegian through the Svalbard treaty. A barren part of the world, with no permanent or indigenous population, it has for some hundred years been exploited for furs, whaling and coal mining.
The archipelago is located about halfway between Tromsø and the North Pole. The major city of Longyearbyen is the northernmost place in the world that you can visit on a regular scheduled flight. The name Svalbard means "cold coast", and the first written mention of the archipelago appears in 12th century Icelandic texts. Around 60 per cent of the islands in the archipelago are covered by ice.
Even though people have been visiting Svalbard for years, it was not until 1990 that the Norwegian authorities permitted general tourism. Spitsbergen is Svalbard's largest island, and thanks to the Gulf Stream the 400km long western coast has a rich flora and fauna. In 1596, the Dutchman Willem Barents passed by the peaked mountains on the northwest corner of the island, and this is how the island was given the name "Spitsbergen", which means "pointed mountains".
World Expeditions offers a wide selection of Arctic voyages that take in the best of Spitsbergen. Choose from voyages that circumnavigate Spitsbergen or combine a cruise to Spitsbergen with a visit to Greenland and Iceland.

New Trend: Placenta Capsules?
Okay, have you heard of placental encapsulation? I recently had a new mother tell me about dissecting her placenta and putting it in capsules - which she swallows. I must say, I was gagging a bit while she explained this to me. So like everyone else I went on line and looked up any data on this "new" trend.
There is not much science on this subject, but plenty of sites that advertise people who are "placental encapsulators". The practice of consuming the placenta is actually called placentaphagy - still sounds gross to me. I know other species consume their placentas - but rarely is it done by humans.
According to my patient's mother (who also happened to be a patient of mine when she was a child), the placenta is supposed to help mother's breast milk and provide hormonal "balance" post partum and thereby also reduce the incidence of post partum blues and depression. (As a side note - I saw this young mother on day #4 post partum and she was teary and tired - just like most new mothers, despite the placenta pills).
The father of the new baby explained that he was given the placenta, in a "bio hazard" container after his wife's delivery. He took it home and kept it in the refrigerator until the local placenta encapsulator person arrived at his house to begin the process.
She "dried" the placenta in an apparatus (kind of like making your own beef jerky in a dissicator) and then 24 hours later crushed the dried placenta in her "Cuisinart" after which the mixture was placed in capsules. My patient's mother is now taking 2 tablets 4x/day and will do this until the capsules are gone. The number of days that you take the placenta depends on how much "dried placenta" is obtained - not a very precise science.
So.....I continue to learn new trends everyday. This one is a bit tough for me to "swallow". I am awaiting science to have data that this is safe and worthwhile. In the meantime, I have my study of one to gather data from.

As one of the world's most famous popstars Rihanna normally performs to crowds of tens of thousands when she visits London.
But last night, the Barbadian singer treated just a few hundred of her most loyal fans and celebrity friends to one of her most intimate gigs yet in the capital.
Guests - including designers Stella McCartney and Henry Holland, model Cara Delavigne and Radio 1 breakfast DJ Nick Grimshaw - were invited to the HMV Forum in Kentish Town as part of her 777 tour to celebrate the release of her seventh album, Unapologetic, in the UK.
The gig marked the penultimate leg of the seven-day tour which has so far has taken a small group of journalists and fans travelling with Rihanna, 24, on a Boeing 777 to Mexico City, Toronto, Stockholm, Paris and Berlin. The next stop is New York where she will perform on Wednesday.
Rihanna - who unusually was dressed in a demure white trouser suit which she later removed to reveal a leopard print cropped top - said London was the highlight of the tour so far.
She told the audience: "You guys are definitely something exciting because I think me and all of my 777 crew have been waiting to get here."
After the gig, Rihanna's musical director and bassist Adam Blackstone said London was their best audience yet.
He told the Standard: "It was great. It was the best night so far of the tour."
The set - which lasted more than an hour and started just after 10pm - included old hits such as Umbrella and Man Down as well as her number one single We Found Love and songs from her new album, Stay and Diamonds.
Fans - some of whom had queued for eight hours for tickets - said it was the best Rihanna concert they had ever seen.
Caroline Rush, 41, chief executive of the British Fashion Council, attended the gig with her 16-year-old daughter Lana, who plays tennis for England.
Lana said: "It was awesome, it was so good. I've seen her a few times but tonight it was definitely better than before."
Asanti Abaka, 18, a student from Beckenham, got into the gig after queuing for eight hours at the venue. She said: "We love Rihanna. We tried all week to win tickets but we couldn't. Everything is cool about her, We love her, we love her music, she just doesn't care."
Zoe Sam, 17, a college student, won tickets through HTC, one of the tour's sponsors. She said: "I saw Rihanna last year at Wireless, she was wicked."

Andy, known here as TK231, has commissioned me to paint his MOW Jetpack, ESB style. So i thought id put up a build thread so you can see how i do it. Of course everyone has different techniques, this is just my method. It is rattlecans and acrylics for the most part. He is sending over all the metalupgraqdes, so i did not add the resin ones the MOW pack comes with.
So here we go...
Here is the Man of War Studios 2011 Fett jetpack. As usual, a beautiful piece. and well made kit.
First to prep, i sand off all the seamlines. MOW makes the seamlines very minimal and in good places to easily be removed.
After everything is sanded i add the tank caps. The newer packs have these seperate, my old MOW pack had them cast onto the pack. My guess is its easier to demold the pack without these pieces.
We can see the bottoms need to be smoothed out a bit before we attch them to the pack
So i sand em on sandpaper on a flat surface, moving in a circular motion, like so..
then we have this:
Much better, i do the other one as well, and attch them to the pack. I also attached the "rocket ring"

I know this just sounds like a list of excuses but this is very rare for something like this to happen. I only hope you can forgive me. You can see my feedback and see I am very trustworthy. It has been a real rough time.
Its okay. Buyer simply couldn't get a hold of you and was just wondering if you shipped the mask, no worries.
Also, if you could include delivery confirmation, it will help the buyer keep track of the package.

That's a good idea! Thanks for the tip.ReplyDelete
Wow. It looks amazing. Seems like something yummy is always cooking in your house. I am surely gonna try it. Avocado is very healthy and has many health benefits. It is rich in nutrients and is excellent as conditioner and makes one's locks lustrous and smooth, it helps to get rid of the frizz from hair, also helps preventing hair loss and its nutrients helps for good hair growth.ReplyDelete
yum! Now I'm really hungry. Sometimes I eat guacamole for dinner, this looks like a way to turn it into a respectable meal. I probably won't follow your recipe, just add macaroni to my regular guac...ReplyDelete
I love avocado. I'm so excited to try this.ReplyDelete
Yum. I'm definitely going to have to try this. I love avocados almost as much as coffee, and this looks like a recipe easy enough for me to manage.ReplyDelete

I got two greenheads last week. I am interested in hunting with other members if possible since i have time over the next two weeks and my brother in law can only hunt Saturday. I have a 14 foot aluminum boat with a 15 hp and just put a blind on it but do not want to venture out alone in it. I live on Monmouth county and would be interested in hunting the Navesink or the Raritan although I do not have the decoy set up for big water yet. I use about a dozen mallards with a few black ducks mixed in and have had good luck i also have a floating mojo that has worked great. If anyone is interested in getting together this week or next please let me know. I am 45 years old and in good shape.

As with lenses i am complete noob! I have bought Sony A200 as i am on tight budget, with standard 18-70mm lens! I am not really satisfied with this lens as there is not enough zoom and no macro capability at all! What i am looking for is all round lens for beginner with little zoom and some macro capability! I have went thru forum and this gets even more confusing as i am begginer! So I have rounded up my search to Tamron 70-300mm F4-5.6 Di LD Macro or Sigma 70-300mm f4-5.6 APO DG as i read they good for the price and they offer some zooming and macro goodness. And here is the question as i will stick with them for few years, will they offer me what i am expecting or should i spend a bit more and go for Sony 70-300 equivilent? Or maybe should i go and buy something like this Sigma 28-300mm f3.5-6.3 DG? Any suggestion and help will be highly apreciated!!

|Drag Racing The place to discuss information about drag racing stats, tips and events. Track sanctioned events only.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Cool story jsidious.
|Nice stories everyone.
well if we're gonna go with those kinda fun stories mine has a much happier ending, in one of my many return trips to the chicagoland area from champaign illinois i was eagerly awaiting getting home because of certain.... *incentives* my gf may have offered. So i get off work its like 4pm and im enjoying the sun and the wind. windows donw sunroof open, ive got a 12'' infinity kappa perfect with about 1000 watts at its disposal, so im enjoying everything, obviously with wind noise and music i cant hear my radar going off, and luckily the cop was going the other way, but i look over and i see this cop just jaw dropped staring at me as we whip opposite each other.. look at speedometer and im doing about 110
For those of you with svts you how that goes, not that im not paying attention to driving because i am, but even at that speed the car is very calm and stable, so what i wasnt paying attention to was my radar, well this guy hits the brakes and i remember the old saying"you cant outrun the motorola" well lets be honest in the middle of nowhere how many state troopers are really around, so this guy hits the brakes but cant turn around for prolly another 1/16- 1/8 of a mile, so i put the windows up, close the sunroof, hammer down to 135,
The last i saw was of him start to turn around then a curve blocked it, i went about 3 miles then got off and took some two lane routes and such for about 40miles, got back on and that was that, leaving me in the roughly 25% of chases that dont end in apprehension, i was very lucky but i could have turned a possible escape into a possible serious accident or what have you, but remaining clam, rationalizing with my knowledge of state trooper coverage in that area and lack of any nearby major cities got me out with nothing but a few extra miles and minutes on my trip
I might as well share, too:
This past summer, I was driving a mild backroad that runs between two major highways (SC6 and US21) near my house, going about 85 mph in a 45 zone. There is a volunteer fire station on this road that the county cops use as a place to relieve themselves or take a break. I have an uncle that was, at that time, a county cop, and I had become relatively accustomed to seeing my uncle stop there. On this particular day, a Thursday, as I zoomed by, I spotted a Lexington County car out front and saw an officer opening the car door to get in. In my haste, I assumed it was Michael and waved.
After rounding the next curve, however, I began truly processing what I had seen. I was no longer so sure that I had waved at my uncle - this man seemed to be a touch shorter, with much more hair. To be certain, I put the hammer down and ran that road faster than I ever had before, or, for that matter, have since. I quickly got onto the interstate and blended with the other traffic.
That night, after work, I went to stay at my girlfriend's for a few days and returned home the following Monday evening. On Tuesday morning, I cautiously drove the leg of the road preceding the fire station. Once I approached the fire station and saw no LCPD presence, I took off, feeling pretty safe. I had never seen Lexington County put a speed trap anywhere but that fire station.
Not even a full mile down the road, I rounded a curve and spotted the tell-tale tan and blue of two cruisers. Knowing that I had been successfully snared, I slowed and pulled off the road before the officer could even get his lights on.
"Good morning, officer."
"Good morning. License and registration, please."
"No problem. Just one second," I've been in this situation several times, and I usually find it best to be friendly, but not overly cordial.
"So, you were really moving the other morning. How fast were you going?"
"You know, I couldn't really tell you," A bold-faced lie - more like, 'I wouldn't dare tell you, because I know you didn't clock me.'
"You must have been going pretty darn fast. I tried to catch up to you, but I couldn't find you anywhere. SVT, too, huh? I knew they made the truck and the mustang, but I didn't know they made an SVT Focus."
"Most people don't. It's not very well advertised, and they're pretty uncommon."
"Well, I only clocked you doing 72 this morning, so I'll just run these and be right back with your citation...."
I don't know about where you all live, but in the great state of SC, 27mph over the limit is a 6 point violation with a $450 fine. Fortunately, my uncle spoke to the judge with my knowledge and the arresting officer, without my knowledge. When the court day came, I quietly awaited my turn.
My name was called and I approached the defendant's position. Corporal Fields promptly stopped the judge, before he could ask for plea and testimony, "Your honor, if it pleases the court, I'd like to drop this one to a 2 point violation."
The judge and I both gawked at Fields in amazement. The judge spoke first, "You're telling me that you want to drop a 6 point violation and a possible reckless driving charge to a 2 point violation?"
"Yes, your honor. This young man was one of my favorite stops ever."
The judge fixed his gaze on me, "You got any problem with that?"
"Huh-uh - I mean - um - no, sir. Er, no, your honor."
"Well, alright, $76 and 2 points. Do you have the money to pay today?"
"Yes, your honor."
"Pay the clerk of court on your way out, then."
I shook the nice officer's hand, paid the clerk, and damn near skipped out to my SVT, who I'm sure was waiting with baited breath to know if I was going to have to sell her for something more insurable. My uncle made it known to me afterward that Fields had called out a bolo after our first encounter and had basically hunted me from that Thursday until he caught me. As a result, there are some very strong misconceptions in the local police force and among my family regarding the capabilities of the SVT Focus.
And yes, I still have that citation tucked in my SVT manual.
|it never pays to street race.i work in the san antonio area and have had many oppunrities for a race. its not worth it.....

|Crazy stuff.
I raced what i thought was my wife the other day.
We were coming home from eating with some freinds
and i had met her their in my car. I had just bought her a
99' GTP and wanted to see what it had aganst the focus
So were coming up the hwy at night and i drop it and walk
away (she was not racing) so i get pretty far ahead rolling about
75 when i see these head lights coming up on me really fast.
so when they started getting close i drop it and take off. the other
car starts to catch up with me and then i start to pull away. i was going about
95-100 when i got over in front of the other car and see the lights on top of
it. sh***************t. i amost crapped my pants right then. so i slow down
and pull into the slow lane. the cop pulls up next to me and gives me a dirty look
and took off really fast. when i got home my wife was really mad and i felt like
a total idiot.

Multnomah University prepares students for meaningful careers that serve Jesus whether they're called to traditional ministry or the marketplace.
Stay connected to our community and help the next generation of Christian leaders become agents of positive change, whether they're serving across the street or across an ocean.
Dedicated to the mission of Bible colleges across the country, Multnomah Bible College and Biblical Seminary President, Dr. Daniel Lockwood, is delighted to serve as President of the Accrediting Association of Bible Colleges (AABC).
Lockwood served as Vice President/President-Elect for two years prior to stepping into the presidential role in February 2003.
"I am committed to expanding the cause of undergraduate and graduate-level biblical education not only at Multnomah but across the nation. As President of AABC, I can be involved in an association that gives encouragement and leadership to literally hundreds of institutions--large and small--that are providing vital biblical instruction to tens of thousands of students across a huge evangelical spectrum."
According to Lockwood, AABC is going through some exciting changes under the lead of Executive Director, Dr. Larry McKinney, and it is important that Multnomah be involved in that movement. AABC accreditation remains an important priority for Multnomah, and Lockwood believes that as one of the larger and more well known Bible colleges, Multnomah should take a more active role in the leadership of the accrediting association.
Lockwood chairs the Executive Committee and the Board of Directors, working closely with the Executive Director of AABC. He also presides over the Annual Conference which meets every February in Orlando.
"Serving as President of AABC gives me the opportunity, as Multnomah's president, to connect with a large network of Bible College presidents and administrators that in many ways share our values as a Bible College more than any other single association."

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by chillfan23, Jul 19, 2010.
Really? Too soft?
Good to see you are with the program. Like, who cares that Afflalo's great game I mentioned was purely vs. 3rd stringers, most not likely to make the team. Its hardly the point. Afflalo started for a very good team all last year, and did great. Amir is doing fine for Toronto and the fans there love his hustle. Delfino adds very good ball handling, some offense, and pretty solid D. We have a lot more than one game to go by. The stuff I decided to write, it all had one simple tie in - all from the last few games from these guys. Its not like we let them go, and nobody else ever played them. The evidence is all over, and strong, that Joe gave guys away for no other reason than cap moves.
His lack of athleticism makes him very small, he doesn't have the ability to catch and finish in the paint. His passing is a result of his inability to score inside. If JJ was healthy I don't think he'd even play this season. Think about this, Austin Daye is getting more consideration for the starting PF spot than he is right now. He's a rookie so he gets the benefit of the doubt, and with a lot of work he can get better, but from what I've seen.......... Rookies are going to make mistakes, but usually they'll do some things that allow you to see the potential, not Monroe, he's not a bust, but I'm not looking for any all-star games anytime soon. Now to be fair, we're not playing to his strengths, we're not using him in the high post at all.
I think you're forgetting how long it takes to recover from a toe injury.
Injury schminjury, they gave him an intense pedicure, that still didn't cure his ailment of no-hop-itis.
G-Money can run fast. ...he just can't jump.
Jumping is over-rated. That's how you get hurt.
Agree about Amir and Afflallo. When Delfino was here he was never happy with the mins he got and wanted to be traded. Even though he played quit a bit for a bench guy that year - something like 17 MPG in almost all the games. Arroyo can succeed with Miami since all the attention will be on Wade and Lebran. Thats not to say that he would do very well on our team. Darko is Darko.
Going to work with my last rotation, trying to straighten out the units so that starters play with starters, subs with subs. While still keeping the minutes totals close, keep Gordon and Tay paired when Gordon plays backup point. Also want to elimate Rip playing first 18 minutes of game. (and only 6 in the 2nd half.) And I want to keep it simple, with just an average of one substitution each quarter. Start: Stuckey, Rip, Daye, Monroe, Ben Wallace. 2nd quarter: Gordon, Tay, Summers, CV, JMAX Monroe plays about the last 3 minutes of the half instead of JMAX, 3 minutes of the 6 minutes in the game where one of JMAX or Ben Wallace is not in the game: Gordon, Tay, Summers, CV, Monroe. Start of 2nd half. Same starters: Stuckey, Rip, Daye, Monroe, Ben Wallace Summers comes in for the last 3 minutes of the 3rd quarter for Ben Wallace, giving: Stuckey, Rip, Daye, Summers, Monroe. (the other 3 minutes without JMAX or Ben Wallace) Start of 4th quarter: Gordon, Tay, Summers, CV, JMAX Last 6 minutes of game: Stuckey, Gordon, Tay, JMAX, Ben Wallace Minutes: Stuckey, target 30, actual 30 Gordon, target 32, actual 24 Rip, target 26, actual 24 Tay, target 24, actual 24 Daye, target 24, actual 24 Summers, target 16, actual 21 CV, target 22, actual 18 JMAX, target 18, actual 21 Big Ben, target 26, actual 27 Monroe, target 26, actual 27
Are we actually talking about Delfino, Amir, Darko and Afflalo in the the 2010/11 starting 5 thread? Really?
You left out Arroyo........
Plus Arroyo. That's the dream starting 5. This team would be +105 in the preseason.
This team will definitely break the 72 wins barrier.
Only if you really want to.
Amir would get a lot of time here at PF, given JJ's injury. And there's no chance whatsoever that JJ wouldn't have played in the regular rotation had he been healthy. However, I will say this, as long as JJ comes back 100% - and hopefully this season - his injury is turning out to be a major blessing in disquise. Daye playing this season is an absolute key to our future. Monroe is an absolute key to our future. We aren't a contender this year, and Daye at PF will be challenged. Monroe will have a lot of bad moments as a rookie. But if they play a lot, as they should with JJ's injury, then as Daye and Monroe get stronger and stronger physically over the next two or three seasons, this team will have a couple of special players in this league. Daye is going to be a 3 or maybe 4 position monster - one of the league's big matchup nightmares. Monroe is going to be a major asset as a passing, facilitating low and high post center. These are two very unique talents in this league. Let them grow together, along with the other core guys - Stuckey and JJ and Gordon and perhaps Bynum or maybe if we get really lucky White, and a really excellent 2011 first rounder and assets we get from trading Rip and Tay, and voila - in two or three seasons, we'll be back as one of the best teams in the league. I think that's a viable and coherent plan.
That´s a realistic plan. Is very important our future 2011 first round,because we lack of young future center(starter or bench,Monroe plays PF),if we have luck to pick one important big(impact player in center position),the PG position with stuckey,free agency or one middle first round pick could be covert very well other year. This year will be the worst for pistons core,young people without experience,injuries,lack of center after big ben...this year is the year to pick a top three rookie player,next years we will be better. We need now play rookies,build team chemistry,and suport the team.
After showing multiple team camp reports for athe what appeared to be the same 10 teams for the past 3 weeks, NBA TV is finally showing the The Pistons team review tonight at 4PM pdt and 7PM EDT. Not sure when it was taped, but hopefully it gives a perspective to where we are headed this year ....along with the NBA TV studio hosts bias of course...
Give us a DreCap for those of us without NBATV.
I think someone else already expressed this sentiment. What a sad commentary on our coach that only injuries can result in anything good happening for the team.
Daye was going to get minutes irregardless of the injury. With Jerebko out, I think the minutes will increase for CV, Maxiel, and Monroe. Perhaps Summers will get some more minutes, too. I hope the Daye at power forward experiment will be short-lived.
Separate names with a comma.

As a mother of three children it's fair to say that the decisions I make impact the whole family. Whether it's the food we eat, the holidays we take or the car I drive, it's important to me that my family is well looked after.
One of the most important decisions I can make is to be an example to my kids on how to live sustainably so my children can enjoy our planet for many years to come.
Over the past few years I've become increasingly aware of the need to reduce the impact my family has on the environment. These days we own a hybrid and diesel car and when I can, I'll choose to ride my motorbike to save fuel and money. Other things you can do to reduce your carbon footprint include taking the bus to work or car-pooling with friends.
That's why this month I've decided to get onboard with the 1 Million Women program. The program created for women by women is designed to make us more conscious about our every day decisions and the carbon footprint we leave behind.
This month is all about driving and as someone who spends a lot of time on the road, I've decided to take on the challenge to learn how to reduce my carbon footprint and live more sustainably. As part of my challenge I will be looking to reduce my fuel consumption by the end of the year.
To make this journey it's going to mean that my behaviour must change. I've got to learn and practise ways of living more sustainably. It's all about doing things differently.
Over the next four weeks I'm going to provide readers with as many tips as possible on ways that they can save and get involved with the program. On the NRMA Facebook page you can see my tips on how you can drive smarter, leaner, less and greener.
If you're keen to get involved but don't know where to start head to www.1millionwomen.com.au for more information and our greener driving tips page to cut waste and save.
What are your tips for driving greener?
