Looking for a f2p mmo(no b2p or f2p with pay for zones/content). I don't like moba/turn based games at all. Something with decent looking graphics, has to be 3d. Also needs to have a big playerbase. Those are the MUST HAVES. Although Character customization is a BIG plus for me, like dragon prophets/planet calypso..loved their char customization. Its not a must. Oh and preferably not pay to win.
Here are some games I have played:
WoW- Got bored because they didn't add content quick enough. Loved everything about it though, combat/pvp/dungeons/raids.
Aion- Loved the portal pvp it had. Good char customization. A little too grindy at higher lvls.
Rift- Like the combat, hate the pvp. Mounts/wardrobe is nice. Love the open world/rifts.(playing it atm)
Star trek- Just ran out of things to do. Love everything about it.
Neverwinter- Not to many different armor styles. Lvl 10 armor looks about the same as lvl 50. Pvp was so so. PvE was good, so was the combat.
Aura kingdom- Ran out of stuff to do. Pvp sucks. Everything else I liked.
Dragon Nest- Characters are too cartoony. But again, liked everything else. Well, pvp was bad.
Lotro/D&D- Played both..they were good. But im pretty sure they had zones/content you had to buy.
Tera-Got bored of it. Combat and open world were nice. Char customization was nice. Didn't like anything else.
Combat arms/Black light retribution- Like both of those, have no problems with them. Just got burnt out on them.
Uncharted Waters online- Love it, just hate that it takes forever to do anything. Graphics are a bit dated.
Hawken- Loved it all...hated it was 1st person.
Vindictus- Loved it all. Hated it took forever to get a group and its small player base.
Hopefully that helps in finding an mmo. Prefer action combat, but its not a must have.
Also played-(Runescape/Aika/Allods/Spiral Knights/Planetside2/Firefall/Eden Eternal/Mighty Quest for Epic Loot/Heva Clonia/World Tour Fishing/LoL/Everquest1,2/Forsaken World/PWI/Rusty Hearts/C9/Path of Exile/Planet Calypso/APB/Cabal/DC Universe/Dead Frontier/Dragons Prophet/Eldevin/Fallen Farth/Gaia/Gunz/Lunia/potbs/RF online/Runes of Magic/SMTI/Asda2/Global Agenda/Hellgate/IMVU/Karos/Microvolts/Loadout/NFSW/TF2/Warframe/9Dragons/Scarlet Blade/Shaiya/Grand Fantasia/Last Chaos/Tribes/Raiderz/War(Battle) of Immortals. All I can think of atm, would rather not replay those lol.

By Richard Clarke in Marseille
Arsène Wenger believes the biggest danger for his Arsenal side in Marseille on Wednesday evening is being caught on the counter-attack.
Didier Deschamps' side soaked up significant pressure against Dortmund on Matchday Two before running in three goals and taking control of Champions League Group F.
The Arsenal manager expects the former French World Cup-winning captain to attempt the same trick at Stade Velodrome by allowing the visitors ample possession.
"Marseille are strong defensively and very efficient on the counter-attack," said Wenger on the eve of the game.
"We analysed their games in terms of goals from shots on target and they are very efficient. They have individual players who are really strong and quick like Loic Remy, Andre Ayew and players with a lot of vivacity like Mathieu Valbuena and Lucho Gonzalez who make a lot of passes so they are a very dangerous team.
"Against Dortmund, they [counter-attacked] very well. They have good ball-winners in midfield and are very quick going forward so I might be wrong but I expect them to do that again."
In many ways, Arsenal and Marseille are kindred spirits right now - decent in Europe, patchy in domestic competition. But while Wenger's men returned to the top half of the Premier League by beating Sunderland at Emirates Stadium this weekend, Deschamps' side are currently 15th in Ligue 1 having registered just one win in their opening 10 games.
"They are a strong team who play for the manager," said the Arsenal boss. "But they are in the middle of a very difficult period and maybe they lack confidence. However that goes goes away quickly and is hard to get back.
"[As for us,] we are coming back in the League and have won some games now. We have won five times in a row at home and last season we were very efficient away and I think that will come back as well.
"We will not give up on the League because it represents our future and the qualification for the Champions League.
"But I would like to remind you that this is the 14th time in a row that we have qualified for the Champions League and the only other clubs who have done that are Real Madrid and Man United. That shows how important that is for us."
This is the first game in a double-header against Marseille which, according to Wenger, will determine Arsenal's final position in Group F. Part of that will be self-determining but, of course, the Dortmund side caught in that counter-attacking web in Marseille last time out, will still have a say.
"The group is still open when the third team is as good as Dortmund," said the Frenchman. "They will play twice against Olympiacos so I don't rule them out of qualifying."

Oh, yeah, we bought three more gifts. I'm giving my mother a DVD. I hope she likes it.
"Hail him who saves you by his grace,
and crown him Lord of all."
I done about half of mine too! I always finish with the gifts for my girlfriends and mom and sis first. Girls are so much easier to shop for! I'll have to put on my thinking cap and see what to get for kids ... they're not mine and I don't really know what kids like these days.
The worst part is getting pressies for the guys! I always feel that my gifts for them are so unoriginal.
I haven't even started!
When you're desparate to know what kids are into, ask online. I've had to do that. Or give them gift cards.
I'm about half way through getting the presents but I like the mad rush
in December trying to get them all....
im so jealous of all you that are half done!! i've only just started
good site to order from for the rocker in your family! http://www.rockworldeast.com
Christmas is coming and it feels really nice, no matter how much money we have... At least, thats how I m thinking..
And so, as Tiny Tim observed, "God Bless us!! Everyone!!''

Actually, it's a little hard to be inspired when the Christmas decorations are barely out yet in the malls. But I'll be heading down south to Singapore in less than 2 weeks and I hear the Christsas stuff is out in full force there!
Hopefully I'll have some nice (tropical) Christmas-sy photos to show you guys when I get back!

They are a lot of fun. I don't shoot mine as much as I used to. The sights can be difficult at times for my 49 year old eyes.
I recommend pulling the firing pin and spring and check for rust. I pulled mine and that's what I found. I also had the incorrect firing pin retaining pin installed. I got the correct retaining pin and replaced the firing pin spring just this week. I need to get it out and give it a test run.

[Hook - Dice Raw]
Everything's changing around me
And I want to change too
It's one thing I know
It ain't cool being no fool
I feel different today
I don't know what else to say
But I'mma get my shit together
It's now or never
[Verse 1- Black Thought]
I'm sick, sick of waiting in vain, tired of playing the game
Thinking of making a change, finally breaking the chains
Every phase, every happening, craze
When it's said and done, my head is right back in a haze
I'm ready for the next chapter and page to start acting my age
And part ways with Black Thought from back in the days
I'm stargazing from the back of the stage
Questioning if who y'all praise is worthy of praise
What's the phrase "bygones is bygones?"
Niggas who used to be the underdogs is icons
People say the light shines once in a lifetime
Is this midlife kind a crisis a little bit like mine
I'm thinking not now, but right now
I need some kinda sign that the future is bright now
I fuck around, do the right thing like Spike now
The quick and the dead, which one is my lookalike now?
I'm moving ahead
[Verse 2 - Phonte]
Opportunities lost because I blew them
On the sunniest days of my life, I cry through them
Mom's out the picture and Pops, I barely knew him
And I would pray to God but I'm tired of lying to him
Tired of trying to run from the things inside of us
Got a lot of fam, and a lot of admirers
Who tell me that I should aspire to be changed
But when I think of changing, it's like why even try this shit?
My mind hazy and my thoughts, they get distorted
I know my good and bad deeds both get recorded
You do right so your soul can last
But my role is cast before I even audition for it
So I don't really see an end to my vice
It's just false reformation, no end of my strife
Feel the evil overpowering, you can go ahead throw the towel in
Cause nigga, that's the end of the fight
When you can only see the tunnel at the end of the light
Lights out, party over, it's the end of your life
And I'm out
[Verse 3 - Dice Raw]
When I look into the mirror and see my own image
It feels like there's something else far in the distance
Something I wanna see, but something that's resistant
And everyday the haunting is growing more persistent
I never noticed it before, but now I can't miss it
And the constant pounding is driving me ballistic
I ran from it for years, but it's still next to me
And it's growing stronger, taking even less of me
I can't fight it now, I know it's just destiny
And I just wonder what's gonna happen when it catches me
Will it leave me face down in the Chesapeake?
Or will it just start bringing out the best in me?
But is the best in me really just the worst in me
And if so, yesterday could be my anniversary
In sinner's court, sip port and have church with me
I'm trying to get rid of these ghosts that's cursing me
I'm feeling change is an absolute certainty
Cause what's going on is a state of emergency
The Roots veterans, Black Thought and Dice Raw, are joined by Phonte—of the now defunct group Little Brother—to reflect on middle age, sinning, and change.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
In other words, if you were using that piston I linked with a 76cc chamber, you would deduct the 6cc's of the piston dome from the chamber volume and use a zero value for the piston as you do the calculations for SCR. If the dome is 6cc's, then deducting that from the chamber volume would yield a 70cc chamber for calculating.
|Tech Inspector you the man. Gotta a question for u. I dont know a hole lot about performance parts but Im trying like hell to learn. Anyway those KB pistons you showed (http://api.viglink.com/api/click?for...13530672408284) are those strictly designed to raise compression ratios. Correct me if Im wrong, do they make the so called dome, raised so there is less area in the combustion chamber therfore creating more compression??
While I have a great deal of respect for Jim, let me make this a little easier for you fellows who have domed pistons. The piston needs only to be lower than the block deck to find the dome volume. Putting a short dome down in the cylinder one inch will work, of course, but you'll spend additional time refilling the burette, increasing your chances for error.
If, for instance, the dome is 0.200" above the edge of the piston, then you only need to put the piston down in the bore by 0.200", just enough to miss the clear Lucite, Plexiglas or Lexan cover plate. Hold the cover plate down on the block deck by hand, bring the piston up in the bore and push it up against the cover plate. Lay the cover plate aside and use your dial caliper to measure from the edge of the piston crown at the top ring up to the block deck. Let's say it measures 0.210". Write it down. Use Q-tips and Vaseline to seal around the edge of the piston to form a liquid-tight seal of the piston to the bore. Be careful not to push the piston down in the bore any further. Smear Vaseline all around the bore on the block deck and lay your cover plate down with the fill hole right at the edge of the bore and slightly uphill so the air will bleed out as you fill the void with alcohol from your burette.
Use math to figure the cc displacement of the void as if there is no dome on the piston, as if the piston were completely flat on the crown with no valve reliefs or dome. If we measured the bore at 4.031" (for instance) and we placed the piston down in the bore 0.210", then we have all the numbers we will need. Do the math thusly....
(.7854) x 4.031 x 4.031 x .210 x 16.387 = 43.91 cc's, call it 44.
Let's say you fill the void with alcohol, using 38 cc's to do so. Subtract 38 from 44 and find that the dome is worth 6 cc's. (Remember there are valve reliefs in the dome too, so it will take a lot of dome to make any real difference over a flat-top piston.) Here's a "for instance" of a 6cc dome piston....
I would advise against using water to find displacement in any voids. As Jim said, water ain't wet. You can improve the flow of it by adding a few drops of dishwash detergent and mixing it around, but alcohol is cheap and works very well. Go to Walmart in the pharmacy section and buy the largest bottle of 70% Isopropyl alcohol you can find, then go to the cake mix section and buy a bottle of food coloring so you can see the meniscus in the burette. Your choice, red, green or blue. It only takes a little food coloring to be able to see the fluid in the burette, so add a few drops at a time into your bottle of Isopropyl until you get the desired shade of color.
I agree that if you're going to be serious about knowing what you're doing, you need the proper tools. While there is absolutely a need for a dial indicator and magnetic stand, quite a lot of measuring can be done with a dial caliper and you'll use it more than you will the dial indicator. Go to ebay and bid on a used Starrett, Brown & Sharpe or Mitutoyo 8" dial caliper. Used is fine for your purposes. I recently bought a used Mitutoyo 12" with wooden case on ebay for 85 bucks. With an 8", you can measure the block deck height on most small blocks. With a 12", you can measure the block deck height on any block. A 6" caliper is the most common and you will use it every day, but you can't do block deck height with it. This would be a good representation of a caliper I would recommend....
Mitutoyo 505 676 Dial Caliper 001" 0 8" Stainless Steel w Case | eBay
For instance, on a Gen I SBC, we know that the main bearing bore is ~2.641". Half of that figure (radius of the hole) is 1.3205". Hook one jaw of your dial caliper on the I.D. of the end bearing bore at each end of the block and hook the other jaw of you dial caliper onto the block deck. The key here is to get the caliper lined up parallel with the cylinder bore in "X" and "Y" axes. Let's say you measure at 7.6695". Add the radius of the bore (1.3205") to your
measurement and find a block deck height of 8.990". Since the blueprint dimension from the factory is 9.025", you have discovered that the block is 0.035" shorter than blueprint. That's probably not the only thing you will find. I suspect that you'll end up with four different figures from all 4 corners of the block.
As far as a burette, there are members on this board who will recommend a graduated device of some kind from the drug store. Here is an example of a 60cc catheter syringe that, while being better than having no measuring device at all and possibly doing a pretty good job at checking domes, will not be as precise as a burette.....
60ML EXEL (26304) Catheter Tip Syringe Only (Qty. 5) | 60 ml Syringes | Syringes Only | Syringes & Needles | Med Lab Supply
I am of the opinion that if you're going to do something, do it properly just as a professional would do it, with a graduated 100cc burette (with on/off spigot) and a stand so you can easily do cylinder heads....
Powerhouse Cylinder Head CC Graduated Burette 0 100cc Stand Plexiglass Plate | eBay.
If you put the word out that you will do a set of V8 heads for 35 bucks, you'll be able to pay for the equipment pretty quickly and begin making a little extra cash for yourself.
As you can see there are many variables especially heads and gaskets.
Years ago when we were checking the CR of our TF motor the discussion got heated over who had the right numbers......several rod lengths, compression height pistons, ported heads with polished chambers etc. Well a long story short some money got laid on the table.
We assembled a block, crank, rod, piston on the motor stand. We found top dead center and set the pointer. Then we dialed the assembly to TDC. Since we ran pistons down the hole we cc'd the "deck clearance." This automatically took into account the small valve reliefs and the radius of the top of the piston. We then turned the motor over to BDC and again cc'd the cylinder. This gave us swept volumn and TDC volumn. From this we could calculate the CR using established vol of the gasket and head. However there is still room for error here so we added the gasket and cyl head. Torqued the head down to spec and using water for a fluid, we checked the vol at TDC and Again at BDC. Dividing BDC vol by TDC vol gives an exact CR as accurate as your equipment can give.
The result was the calculated value (mine) was within .01 of the measured value.
That steak was sure tasty haha.
Bottom line is that when in doubt check your CR as it is assembled....it's more work but very accurate.
I might add the classic 72 cc chamber emission head:
Several SBC chambers
From SBC head ID:
SBC cylinder head IDEarly 64 cc chamber, left vs. L31 5.7L Vortec chamber right
1987-'95 chamber, left vs. L31 5.7L Vortec chamber, right
305 Vortec L30 casting number 12558059 chamber
The Vortec is another step forward it borrows pretty heavily from the combustion chambers and port designs of the mid 1990s LT1 and LT4 heads as does the aluminum GMPP Fast Burn head but both the Vortec and Fast Burn use conventional coolant routing and will fit any GEN I block that has enough bore diameter to clear the valves.
|BOGIE are you saying that on swirl port heads they made the spark plug where it ignites on the exhaust side.
|The calculator I was using is on the summit racing site. It asks Bore, Stroke, Cylinder Head Volume, Effective Dome Volume, Deck Clearence, Compressed Gasket Thickness, and number of cylinders.
I use these formulas.
AutomotiveCalculators and Converters
All this means is you need to pay attention to what the calculators or specs are calling for. Best to use one calculator and stick w/it. The one I use is here. There are others, obviously.
Below are two dynamic compression ratio (DCR) calculators. To use them you need the intake valve closing point from the cam card and the length of the connecting rod (stock SBC is 5.7 except for the 400 which is 5.565"):
Dynamic CR
United Engine & Machine Co. Incorporated
When you go to calculate the "quench" distance, be aware there are pistons for the SBC 350 that have a compression height (or CH, the distance from the wrist pin c/l to the top of the piston) of 1.56" (stock) or 1.54" (known a "rebuilder" pistons). Because of the difference in CH, these two types of pistons will have different quench figures, all else being equal.
When you are rebuilding you have an opportunity to correct these deficiencies if you realize they are there. This is where you see a true flat top piston is where the crown surface is the same surface level, except for valve reliefs, all the way across. Here again one encounters a cost savings measure taken on lower cost replacement pistons where there are 2 rows making 4 valve reliefs, again this is a means of using one set of tools to make left and right side pistons. For slightly more there are 2 relief pistons which are made in unique left and right side configurations.
Squish and quench are often referred to as "mechanical octane". This is to say that their function is such that for a given compression ratio they can add to the fuel's octane by the way they stir the mixture, concentrate the mixture before the spark plug this is the squish function as the piston closed toward Top Dead Center. The quench function is that the close closure of the piston and head on the far side of the chamber works as a heat sink to keep the mixture furthest from the spark plug from self-igniting from the temperature and pressure effects of combustion before the flame front gets to that side of the cylinder. As the bore becomes larger and where the spark plug is placed are huge players in this function's quality. To a large extent the bore is what the bore is so the place you can play is with where the cylinder head places the spark plug. Heads from the early emission days placed the spark plug way off on the exhaust side of the chamber, they were after long slow burns at low compression to keep nitrogen oxide formation low as this is hard to clean up where this also creates high levels of unburnt hydrocarbons these are easy to clean up from the exhaust. It once was very popular to put 305 heads on 350s to punch the compression up but these heads also suffer from the spark plug being a long way from the center of the cylinder so it's difficult to take full advantage of the compression improvement without hitting detonation and preignition well before all the potential power has been taken from the increased compression. Starting with the L98 and Swirl Port heads you see the spark plug being moved toward the valves to reduce the distance the flame from needs to travel which reduces the tendency to detonate or pre-ignite. This is continued even further and has the added advantage of improved porting with the LT1 and 4 heads, the Fastburn and L31 Vortecs. This idea has also become predominate with the aftermarket head industry which in many cases can also be seen in their large chamber 70 something cc heads where the spark plug is in a boss the protrudes up into the line of the valve diameter. These chamber designs that induce a lot of squish and quench while moving the spark plug as far into the cylinder as the valve location will allow are like adding 5 or more octanes to the fuel you're using. This lets you push the compression which is where there is more power and efficiency to be had.
We've done a back to back dyno test of a 355 Chevy engine that had a common configuration except for piston crown shapes. At redline WOT and redline there isn't a lot of difference on power output between the round dish piston and the D-dish. Although the D-dish holds its top end power band a little stronger and higher. Where the big impact is seen between these dish configurations is off idle up almost to WOT, RPMs where especially the torque line is fatter sometimes as much as 30 foot pounds this of course translates into more horsepower in this region as well. The story here is where a street engine especially spends most of its time it will pull harder with less throttle which leads to less fuel consumption at cruise. It's a story that squish/quench is better with the D dish piston, the round dish starts to improve as the RPMs peak to where the torque and horsepower differences get down to only about 5 numbers torque or horsepower in favor of the D-dish. If I figure out how to get Windows 8 to make decent graphs I'll include that analysis.

The caudatus group of the species has a pure white head.These birds are known for their tiny size, measuring at around only 13-15 cm in length, including their tail. The long-tail tit is recognized by its stubby bill, contrasted to its long, narrow tail. Females and males are indistinguishable, both undergoing a full moult before their first winter. Their adult plumage is primarily black and white with accents of grey and pink.The bushtit inhabits deciduous and mixed woodland, feeding on insects with a preference for eggs and larvae of moths and butterflies, and favoring oak, ash, and sycamore trees. They tend to nest in scrub areas usually closer to the ground.The cover image is from a loose plate of Hungarian origin. The cover font is Adobe ITC Garamond.

This book is amazing
By Recreational Pythoner
from Los Angeles, CA
About Me Hobbyist
My background is a few years recreational python on ubuntu. And I played around with ggplot2 in R a few years back. It turns out ggplot2 and D3 are both based on the grammar of graphics philosophy (paradigm? specification?).This book made it really easy to learn both javascript and D3. I had some background in python so I served up the examples in flask application and even elaborated on the examples.This book is very well structured. I read a lot of O'Reilly books and I have to say that this one stands out as one you can sit down and do the examples one after the other after the other.

Really a perfect book to start your journey as D3.js developer. Covers and links to each and every important aspect of data visualization.
Great to get you started with D3

About Me Architect, Developer
I needed an introduction into D3. This book delivered 100% what I expected from in. Gentle start, clear explanations and examples even for someone like me with almost no js experience. With the book in one hand I was able to develop the solution I had in mind.

I needed a reference to get started creating visualizations for an internal web site. This book walks you through that process. I was able to do exactly what I wanted after reading this book.
It fell below my expectations
By Russ

About Me Developer
The first few chapters were okay but later on in the book (starting around Chapter 7 / 8), the results shown in the book would vary with the actual results when you did the hands-on (e.g. the Axes would not go all the way to the borders of the SVG components, the Domain and Range results will be different than what the book described). In Chapter 9, in Events Listeners section -- the chart would overflow the SVG borders and when you checked the sample files that came with the book, it had the same behavior so it seems that the sample files were not thoroughly tested.In Chapter 9, under Transition section, the Transition function did not work.The structure of content would get difficult to follow because the sample code in each chapter basically builds on code from the previous chapters (instead of showing the whole code each time a concept needs to be illustrated) so if you need to cross check something, you would need to go back to previous chapters (which is inefficient).
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

This book will take an absolute novice to proficiency with D3.js. Not surprisingly the reviews are all positive on this site, and even though I'm an experienced developer, I can appreciate just how well-written it is for people new to javascript, or even without any prior programming experience - it's that good. Thoughtfully written, with masses of useful examples, the writer slowly builds up the complexity, without skipping steps or assuming familiarity with unspoken concepts. If there is one area I would have liked to have seen expanded, it was the chapter on pie charts, but what was given was certainly good enough for anyone new, and everyone who'd followed along to this point would certainly feel confident about tweaking the examples to suit their own purpose. I have over 100 programming books, and this slots easily into the top three.

Great first book for D3js
By CindyJH
from Fort Lauderdale, Florida
About Me Designer, Developer, Maker
This is the first book that I have read on D3js. It was written exactly like I take notes. Gives description of topic, example of code, and line by line explanation of what is happening. I also went through the book with sample files very helpful. I would definitely read additional books by this author Scott Murray. I know that D3 can get very complicated but he wrote the book with the beginner in mind, simply describing the basic concepts. The format gives you the confidence to think "I can do this".
Great introduction to D3

So I'm in an argument on my local subaru forum that in my opinion, UEL headers sound a ton better on our cars vs. EL. Examples below:
BRZ but its the new 2.0l engine that the WRX/STI will have next year. Obviously it has EL headers.
A 2011 that is a great example of UEL vs. EL headers.
The traditional sound was a big reason why i bought my car. Not the only one, but a big one. Knowing that the new 2.0 will likely have EL headers is a big turn off to me. Local forum members are basically telling me i'm an idiot because EL headers are so much more efficient and better for power. All of which I know, but losing that sound is a big no no for me.

Although this error brings little harm to the frog, if contemporary people thought the sky was a plate it would more severely corrupt our present thinking along with our relationships with the world and each other.
- Our explanation for where water and air came from would be wrong.
- The value of the wind, landscape and ocean would be unknown.
- Thoughts of Earth and Nature's balance and beauty might be considered insane.
- We would have a corrupt view of how the world worked and would relate to each other accordingly.
- The goal of society might be to train slaves to be strong enough to throw garbage out of the well so the slave owners could own more toys.

Hi Cavie,
Ah. . . another victim falls to the Bounty Hunter bug!
Check this thread from the helmet forum for some of the best painting information out there:
All the paints mentioned in that thread are Floquil or Polly Scale, which are made for model railroading. So if you know of any hobby shops that specialize in railroad modeling, they should carry the Floquil or Polly S paints.
So I guess Home Depot is a bad place to go huh?
No, Home Depot RULES!!!! I love going to Home Depot. . . just not for paints.
Also check TK409's website. I think his tutorial uses something in a spray can. Rustoleam Spruce green, I think. Not sure if he used that himself, but if so, I would say it looks pretty good.
I used 'hycote' Ford meadow green- it's a car spray paint available at most motor stores and looks virtually identical to the screen used colour, and goes on easy, leaving a good smooth finish. I used some wet 'n' dry sanding paper on it to give it an additional worn look.- I also primed the armour in primer grey before applying a coat of steel grey, which when the weathering is done, looks more like bare metal! Will post some pics of the armour when the camera has batteries!!!
Please post when you get this armor you ordered. I'm interested to know what the quality is and how long it took this person to get it to you. Post a few pic's if you can.

I know I haven't been around the forums in a long time. I traded in my WRX this weekend so I no longer have a use for my Cobb AP. It is the SUB-001 so it fits the 02-05 2.0L WRX's
I am asking $400 or best offer. I am located near west palm beach florida. I would be willing to ship if necessary.
I still have the AP in the original box with all the wires. And of course it is unmarried from my wrx so it is ready for a new wrx!

The Canisius baseball team lost 3-2 at Rider University in the final game of the weekend series in Lawrenceville, N.Y. The Golden Griffs were swept in a three-game Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference series for the first time since the 2007 season. Canisius is now 20-10 on the season and 4-5 in the MAAC.
Junior Jesse Kelso went 2-for-4 with a run scored. Sophomore Jesse Puscheck went 1-for-2 with two walks and a stolen base while freshman Anthony Massicci reached base twice and also had a stolen base.
The Griffs scored the game's first run in the fourth inning, which started with a leadoff single from Kelso. He moved to second on a wild pitch and advanced to third on a groundout from junior Shane Zimmer. A sacrifice fly from senior Brooklyn Foster scored Kelso.
The Broncs scored all three of their runs in the sixth, taking advantage of the only walk of the game from freshman Alex Godzak as well as a misplayed sacrifice bunt. Greg Fazio worked the leadoff walk, and Ken Kremer laid down a sacrifice bunt but reached when Fazio beat the throw at second base. Godzak got a strikeout for the first out of the inning, but a two-RBI double from Mike Parsons gave Rider a 2-1 lead. After Godzak struck out Mike Strano for his eighth strikeout of the day, sophomore Rohn Pierce relieved Godzak and walked Adam Wayman. Jerry Mulderig followed with a single up the middle to put the Broncs up 3-1.
Canisius rallied in the eighth, with junior Jimmy Luppens starting the rally with a leadoff single. Puscheck extended the inning but reaching on a two-out error, and Foster was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Luppens scored on a wild pitch but Mike Murphy struck out pinch hitter Ryan Coppinger to keep Rider up by one. Massicci reached on a two-out single in the ninth, but Zach Mawson got Luppens to fly out to center for the final out of the game and his seventh save of the season.
Godzak (4-2) saw his four-start winning streak come to an end as the freshman allowed three runs on three hits, walked one and struck out eight in 5.2 innings. Pierce, sophomore Eric Stolzenburg and junior Jon Fizsimmons threw 2.1 innings of scoreless relief. Kurt Sowa picked up the win, allowing one run on four hits in six innings with Mawson recording his seventh save of the season.
Canisius returns to the field on Wednesday, for a mid-week doubleheader at the University of Akron. First pitch is set for 1 p.m.
Game Notes: Canisius was swept in a three-game MAAC series for the first time since losing three games at Siena on May 12-13, 2007. That ends a stretch of 41 three-game series without being swept in the MAAC… Canisius went 0-for-8 with runners in scoring position on Sunday. The Griffs were 5-for-32 with RISP on the weekend and left 29 runners on base in the series. Rider hit .419 with runners in scoring position and left 15 runners on base… Fitzsimmons has 10 strikeouts in his last 4.2 innings pitched… Kelso extended his hitting streak to six games while Massicci is now on a five-game hitting streak… Pierce has not allowed an earned run in his three relief appearances of the season (5.1 innings).

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Sting said it.
You're weird and so am I.
Most people have a innate need to belong to a "tribe" or "herd." They buy houses and cars and get jobs in the city doing things that measure performance (success) on the same scale with those in their little circle.
People need to belong to a community.
People need to feel accomplished (worthwhile). I guess its kind of a Maslow Hierarchy-thing.
Those who select smaller tribes and communities are looking for something else. I call it wierd. But I don't mind being called weird. Liveaborads fall into that wierd catagory, but as many similarities that they may have - they have just as many differences.
My nieghborhood has a few poeple living on barges, some on power boats, some on sailoats. This creates an entertaining and rich eclectic range of personnalities, but I can draw from each of these folks. As funny as it may sound - I believe that the differences draw liveaboards together more than do our similarities.
I've read quite a few posts about people wanting to live a more affordable lifestyle aboard, but that hasn't been my experience. Decent boats (one that you would feel happy taking off the dock) are expensive, and parts and maintenance can be ridiculous in terms of time and money. Boats, especially sailboats, are complex pieces of equipment.
One can look at it as an investment, but living as a couple in an apartment would be cheaper, at least where I live. Many guys around here have old boats not worth much of anything (easy to do when you're single) but if you want a nice boat and intend to keep it that way, it will be a major investment in time and $$$. It's cheaper than the house in the burbs sure, but there are many other ways of living cheaply. I suspect the romance of the thing is often a part of why people choose the lifestyle, whether they admit it or not. I can't believe the number of folks I've met that went "Oooooo", when I told them how I live, and yet they've never done it.
We're all weird, everyone of us. It's just a matter of degree.
Everyone thinks they're the best drivers or they're way of doing things is best.
I spent 30+ years chasing summits rock and ice climbing. Working half a year then quit to go climb. Everyone thought I was crazy. Then my passion changed to long distance sailing and removed all doubt.
I cannot speak as to why others live aboard their boats nor can I explain the eccentrisities of other sailors. I can share why my wife and I live aboard our boat.
The biggest thing was wanting to get out of the rat race. We saw our friends buyng houses they couldn't afford, cars whose monthly payments were equal to slip fees, and the general desire to accumulate "stuff." We saw that living aboard to prepare to go cruising would help us know the boat better and be better prepared when set out over the horizon.
The next thing is the family we plan to have. When we look at the public school system in America and scores keep dropping the choice was a no brainer. We dont want our children to be immersed in the MTV generation crap. We have chosen to spend the next 5 years or so doing an extensive refit of the boat. Once the munchkins are tall enough to see over the life lines were taking off cruising. We would like our children to experience the world not a small enclave of some suburban neighborhood.
"A boat really does represent freedom. Freedom to set your own course, or drop the anchor and observe the beauty around you."

|I don't think all live-aboards are misfits, but some could be more appropriately called hermits. In my marina, to my knowledge, it's all guys who liveaboard. Mine is the only boat of us live-aboards that gets out of the marina, although they do all have bigger and more spacious boats than I. I also have a fair share of girlfriends visiting, which I hope means that I am neither a misfit nor a hermit. But I don't keep girlfriends for long, which could mean that I am both a misfit and a hermit. I'm so confused.
I am not a misfit
I am not a misfit and stop calling my wife one!
True we live on a boat.
It is also true we are too cheap to tie to a dock.
True we tap into other people's Wi-Fi when we can.
It is true that we attempt to keep our tax burden low. (Doesn't everyone?)
True people look at us weirdly when we walk down the street.
It is true that in winter showers become scarce.
True we love each other very much.
It is true we have time to love each other 24 hours a day.
True we love to sail.
It is true we have sailed to 79 different countries. (count them in the book)
True our son grew up in this life and is a great kid.
It is true we are still on our honeymoon after 20 years.
It is not true that I am a misfit. I have spent my life fitting into the world and getting the world to fit to me. Misfits spend their lives working and then throw themselves out of windows.
Misfits watch 8 hours of TV a day.
Misfits get so wound up they shoot people.
Misfits cry when they are alone.
Misfits live lives of quiet desperation. (OK, I stole that!)
Let's not be misfits.
This weekend lets all go and anchor out and celebrate our un-misfit-ness.

The hockey TV world was shaken up Tuesday with news that Rogers Communications is taking control of NHL television and multimedia rights in Canada following a blockbuster 12-year, $5.2-billion agreement with the league that kicks in next season.
CBC will continue to air Hockey Night in Canada and the TVA network will have the Canadian French-language multi-media rights.
The deal gives Rogers national rights to all NHL games, including the playoffs and Stanley Cup final on all its platforms and in all languages. Rogers media president Keith Pelley said the plan is to have the Stanley Cup final on CBC and that if a Canadian team were in the final, the possibility of simulcasts exist.
Canadiens fans will continue to see all 82 regular-season games, although they might have to make an adjustment in their cable or satellite package. While TVA has emerged as a sub-licensee for national French-language rights, the bulk of the regular-season package — 60 games — could still be televised on RDS. TVA will televise 22 games, including all Saturday night games on TVA Sports, which now has 1.6 million subscribers, and will carry any Canadiens playoff games and have the choice of other playoff series, including the Stanley Cup final. Whether the other 60 regular-season games stay on RDS or move to TVA will be up to the NHL and the Canadiens to decide in the coming days or weeks.
What's not certain at this point is what this means for Canadiens fans outside Quebec and whether TVA will be made available to them. TVA announced Tuesday that it will be coming out with a new channel, TVA Sports 2.
Meanwhile, the Canadiens' Rene Bourque returned to the ice for practice Tuesday in Brossard after missing three games with a lower-body injury. Bourque was cleared to return to action, but won't be in the lineup when the Canadiens face the Sabres Wednesday night in Buffalo (7 p.m., TSN-HABS, RDS, TSN Radio 690).
Carey Price is expected to get the start in goal and coach Michel Therrien said that backup Peter Budaj will play in one of the two games later in the week with the Canadiens visiting the Washington Capitals on Friday night before playing host to the Toronto Maple Leafs Saturday night at the Bell Centre.
Here's how the lines and defence pairings looked at practice Tuesday:

When reading a long piece of Haskell code, one which is broken up into many modules, you should consider keeping a browser window open with the auto-generated API documentation on the side (if any).
Revision as of 16:28, 13 August 2006
This stub is intended to become a tutorial on reading Haskell. It's aimed at the non-Haskeller who probably doesn't care too much about trying to write code, but wants to understand it.
1 The tutorial
...needs to be written (actually, Haskell for C Programmers seems to do this job)
-- insert here some horrible (for the non-Haskeller) long example -- something we can work through slowly (and show why we find it beautiful)
2 Practical tips and tricks
2.1 General advice
2.1.1 Trick: use the haddock
When reading a long piece of Haskell code, one which is broken up into many modules, you should consider keeping a browser window open with the auto-generated API documentation on the side (if any).
2.2 What does this function do?
2.2.1 Trick: use type signatures
When you see stuff like this
-- example please! foo :: Bar Ping Pong -> Baz Zed Dubya -> IO (DoublePlus Good)
...don't fight it! These are type signatures and they are an incredibly useful way of getting a rough idea what a function is supposed to do.
- elaborate
2.2.2 Tip: a function may be defined in more than one piece
Remember math class, where functions would be defined like abs(x) = x if x >= 0 or -x otherwise? It's a bit like that in Haskell too. Sometimes, rather than writing one big if-then-else, Haskellers find it more convenient to define a function separately for each case, such as...
abs x | x >= 0 = x abs x = -x
What gets confusing is when you look at a definition like this...
foo x | blah = some enormous long thing foo x = some other enourmously long thing
Especially looking at the bottom bit, it's hard to remember that
foo might have a another definition lurking around. Luckily, you never have to look very far, either immediately above or immediately below the other definition.
(Note: some programmers will perhaps write something like
foo x | otherwise = .... The
otherwise is redundant (and equal to
True), but useful as reminder that this isn't the entire definition of
2.3 What the heck is xyz?
One problem you might face when reading Haskell code is figuring out some cryptic entity like
xyz is.
2.3.1 Tip: order doesn't matter
Outside of a monad, it really doesn't matter what order things in Haskell code appear. So if you see something like this...
foo = whatTheHeckIsBar
you should take into account that
whatTheHeckIsBar may be defined somewhere below
- scope in a nutshell
- except for monads? explain
2.3.2 Trick: use grep
(This might seem really obvious, but it's sometimes easy to forget)
Or use the search feature of your favourite text editor. It's probably defined right there before your eyes, and if it's true to Haskell style, the definition is probably so small you blew right through it. In vi, for example, you could do
/= *xyz which searches for =, an arbirtary number of spaces, and then xyz.
Barring that,
xyz might be defined in some different module in the code you downloaded. You can look for telltale signs like
import Manamana (xyz)
But note that sometimes programmers get lazy, and they don't specify that
xyz should be imported. They just let rip with
import Manamana
So solution number 3 would be do something like
grep xyz *.lhs *.hs
(Note that literate programs sometimes use non-literate code, so search in both lhs AND hs)
A fourth idea, if you can't find something, is to look it up in Hoogle
3 What confuses non-Haskellers
Since this tutorial is not yet written, we encourage you to note here the things which confuse non-Haskellers about the code code.
- layout instead of semicolons?
- super-super-concise stuff (things using liftM and liftM2)
- the difference between and
x <- foo
x = foo

The Master of Arts in Leadership for Service (MALS) is grounded in the philosophy of servant leadership. The program is open to individuals in every field and is designed to give students the practical tools and interpersonal understanding needed to be effective, ethical leaders.
Applications to this program are no longer accepted.
The program prepares professionals to:
- Identify internal talents and strategies to motivate performance.
- Approach problem analysis and decision-making skills with a multidisciplinary perspective, guided by ethics.
- Promote the use of coaching as a model for empowering staff throughout an organization.
- Inspire continuous learning as a catalyst for creative problem solving.
- Demonstrate wise stewardship of all resources.
- Foster integrity by intentionally aligning actions with values.
- Motivate leaders to build organizations that serve the greater good, while meeting goals and generating profits.
The interdisciplinary graduate program encourages participants to analyze their own leadership styles and apply the principles of servant leadership to their chosen field. To that end, some classroom experiences are complemented with retreats at the George Williams College campus in Wisconsin. Located on the shores of Geneva Lake, this unique environment offers a serene setting for introspection and renewal.
The MALS degree prepares graduates for higher leadership and executive positions in private, public and not-for-profit organizations. Ultimately, our students create positive change in the world as they devote their lives and careers to meeting the needs of others.


text: I grew up on Emily Post & Miss Manners & according to them there is nothing wrong with inviting people to the wedding & not the reception. If you're a member of a church & the wedding is held at the church, then any member is allowed to attend the wedding unless you have an usher at the door with a list. And some churchs hold hundreds of people but you may not want (or can't afford) that many at the reception. But wedding invitations should not have directions to the reception if the person isn't invited. And they certainly shouldn't take your gift & then turn you away. Also, where I grew up people didn't bring gifts to the wedding/receptions so if you weren't invited to a shower you sent your gift to the mother of the bride's house or to the bride if she lived somewhere else. And family NEVER threw any kind of shower or gift grab & the happy couple NEVER even implied they would like money. (If family threw a shower then ONLY family were invited, otherwise it was considered tacky.) The bridesmaids were supposed to throw one shower, usually a lingerie shower, & usually friends of the parents would throw others. Re the plus one, when I was a single girl I expected to be able to bring a date to the reception unless it was a very small one held in someone's home. But of course if the invitation didn't say + 1 then I could either choose not to go or to go alone. Etiquette sure has changed a lot.

I have a new Android tablet. I bought it for writing and for reading eBooks. I don't have WiFi and I don't want WiFi at my house. I don't believe it is secure. I don't want to use public WiFi under any circumstance. I want to download apps for my device. I would like to download the Android apps to my PC and then transfer them to my tablet. How can I accomplish this?
First of all, a secured WiFi network in your home is pretty safe. It's the people who don't bother to secure the network that get into trouble. Your best bet for a tablet is to buy a router and secure it with a strong password.
An Android tablet (As well as an iPad) is really designed to be a WiFi appliance. Updates to firmware and apps are accomplished via WiFi and content for those apps is generally accessed via WiFi. You usually won't find much storage on a tablet because much of what you're accessing is expected to be stored in the cloud.
If you don't want WiFi, an Android tablet is probably not a great choice for you. Now you could see if you can get your tablet on a 4G data plan along with your phone if you happen to have a smart phone. But you'll get faster connection speeds at a lower cost with WiFi.
There are ways to get Android apps to a tablet. But it's a complicated process. You could choose a program like APK Downloader. This extension for Google Chrome will allow you download apps from Google Play. You will need set up a Google Play Store Account and you will also need the latest version of the Google Chrome browser installed on your PC.
You could then download apps and then copy the files onto your tablet via a USB connection.
But I wouldn't suggest it. Since security is a big concern for you, you'd be putting these apps on your computer at your own risk. PC security programs are not designed to find issues with Android apps. And the process doesn't work smoothly with all apps. Also, many apps just won't function properly without being able to access the Internet for updates and bug fixes.
Purchasing a router and properly securing your WiFi connection with a password is the safest and easiest method for using an Android tablet.

"I used a handwritten-style font for the front, and the back I personalized with my email, my job title, and the address of my work. It's great that you can put whatever you want in the blanks provided (or leave some blanks empty). The card is gorgeous. I always get comments about how awesome my business card is. It's unique, but not loud - perfect for a professional environment like law. The card stock is thick and substantial. The ink is high-quality. Everything was accurate. Love these!"
"I had ordered cards from another company, and was so dissapointed in the quality. Not with Tiny Prints.This card is sturdy (corners don't fray or bend) color is brilliant, and it has impressive quality. It is small, but I have received several compliments on the unique size and style. I love it!"

The Ruby Programming Language is the authoritative guide to Ruby and provides comprehensive coverage of versions 1.8 and 1.9 of the language. It was written (and illustrated!) by an all-star team:
David Flanagan is a computer programmer who spends most of his time writing about JavaScript and Java. His books with O'Reilly include JavaScript: The Definitive Guide, JavaScript Pocket Reference, Java in a Nutshell, Java Examples in a Nutshell, and Java Foundation Classes in a Nutshell. David has a degree in computer science and engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He lives with his wife and children in the U.S. Pacific Northwest bewteen the cities of Seattle, Washington and Vancouver, British Columbia. David has a blog at www.davidflanagan.com.

Yukihiro Matsumoto ("Matz"), the creator of Ruby, is a professional programmer who worked for the Japanese open source company, netlab.jp. Matz is also known as one of the open source evangelists in Japan. He's released several open source products, including cmail, the emacs-based mail user agent, written entirely in emacs lisp. Ruby is his first piece of software that has become known outside of Japan.

The animals on the cover of The Ruby Programming Language are Horned Sungem hummingbirds (Heliactin bilophus). These small birds are native to South America, living mainly in Brazil and Bolivia. They prefer dry, open habitats such as grasslands, and they avoid dense or humid forests. Hummingbirds have the fastest wingbeat of all birds, and the Horned Sungem is capable of 90 wingbeats per second. (Contrast that with the vulture, the slowest of all birds, capable of just 1 wingbeat per second.) Because hummingbirds are so fast and light, they are able to hover in mid-air by rapidly flapping their wings. They can also fly backward (the only birds who can do so) in order to keep position as they drink nectar from flowers. Their long, thin bills allow them to reach deep within blossoms. Fittingly, the Portuguese word for hummingbird is beija-flor, or "the bird that kisses flowers." The English word, of course, comes from the hum made by its fast-moving wings. The male Horned Sungem has tufts of red, blue, and gold feathers on either side of its head. Its back is iridescent green, its throat and breast are black, and its belly is white. It has a long, pointed tail. The female looks similar to the male but lacks the dramatic crown pattern. Because of the hummingbird's vibrant colors, early Spanish explorers named it Joyas voladoras, or "flying jewel." There are many myths about hummingbirds. In Brazil, a black hummingbird is a sign of a death in the family. The ancient Aztecs honored them, and priests used staffs covered with their feathers to remove curses. The hummingbird is also a symbol of resurrection, as Aztecs believed that dead warriors were reincarnated as these birds. The Aztec god of the Sun and war, Huitzilopochtli, was represented as one; his name means "Hummingbird from the south," the south being the location of the spirit world. The cover image is from J. G. Wood's Animate Creation. The cover font is Adobe's ITC Garamond. The text font is Linotype Birka, the heading font is Adobe Myriad Condensed, and the code font is LucasFont's TheSans Mono Condensed.

Best book to start your Ruby adventure
By Rastarobot
from Moscow, Russia
About Me Developer
Comments about oreilly The Ruby Programming Language:
This book is like no other got me 'up and running' in the Ruby world. It gives you strong basis to build your mastery on. It is very comprehensive and explains every little detail about how Ruby works yet easy to read. I keep it on my desk and I recommend it to everyone who wants to learn Ruby.The saddest thing about the book is that it is TOO OLD and requires a NEW EDITION which would include all the cool new features that Ruby got after v. 2.0To O'R: PLEASE shed some light about the possible future editions. This book is highly valued in the Ruby community and a LOT of people out there expects the new edition!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Thorough and exhaustive
By bibliotechy
from Philadelphia, PA
If you want to learn all about the nitty-gritty of how ruby does its magic, then this book is for you. It doesn't just give you the "what it does", but also the "how it does it", and sometimes even the "why it does it".
Very useful, for professionals
By Marco
from Milan, Italy
About Me Designer, Developer
Very useful and complete book on Ruby for professionals starters on this language, already aware of OO programming techniques and languages.Can be used to grasp the basics of the language by, say, Java developers that want to increase their knowledge and capabilities spectrum.

One of the best books O'Reilly ever published!
By Anonymous
from Undisclosed
I've bought this book when it first came out and recommended to everyone who was asking for literature about ruby.It is very well written and answers almost all questions. What I especially like about is that it doesn't start with yet another tutorial or too much conversational text without real information on the topic itself. It contains what the cover says, nothing more. It is straight forward and a pleasure to read. As easy as it sounds, this is something you can rarely find in technical books and this is what makes this book exceptional I think.

A Fine Piece Of Technical Writing
By Andrew Garber
Regardless of whether you're a fan of Ruby, The Ruby Programming Language is one of the finest pieces of technical writing that I have ever laid eyes on. The book is extremely well organized, and details every nook and cranny of the language.
Matz Gets It Right!
By Dave Walz-Burkett
This book does for Ruby what Kernighan & Ritchie's "The C Programming Language" did for C. It provides a concise, accessible introduction to the Ruby programming language.Starting out with a tour of Ruby, you are then taken on a deeper dive into chapters on "Structure and Execution", "Datatypes and Objects", "Expressions and Operators", and "Statements and Control Structures". Some of the real power of Ruby is revealed in chapters on "Methods, Procs, Lambdas, and Closures", "Classes and Modules", and "Reflection and Metaprogramming".The book closes with chapters on "The Ruby Platform" and "The Ruby Environment". The chapter on the Ruby Platform is like a condensed API guide to Ruby's core library. The chapter on the Ruby Environment will help you navigate through the Ruby interpreter's command-line arguments and environment variables as well as a grab-bag of extra Ruby topics that were not covered earlier in the book.The book is well organized and easy to read. Each chapter is peppered with code samples. If you are serious about learning Ruby, get this book! It sits on my bookshelf, next to a copy of the Pickaxe book and The Ruby Way. Bonus: each chapter of the book starts with a work of art by why the lucky stiff!

A Must-Have For Serious Ruby Developers
By Larry
Like the book says in the beginning: "Ruby is not a simple language... and this book is not a simple book. It is intended for experienced programmers... and are willing to read carefully and thoughtfully to achieve this goal."Ruby is still relatively new, so there are not a ton of books from which to choose. But you gotta figure that one by the creator of the language (Y. Matsumoto) and the author of the popular "Java in a Nutshell" (D. Flanagan) is bound to be good - and it is.It's a simple, no-nonsense text that will answer just about any question you might have about the Ruby programming language. This and the more-conversational-in-tone "The Ruby Way" by Hal Fulton make for an unbeatable pair.

Horrible font issue in the PDF Version
Trying to read the PDF with Preview on Mac OS X is almost impossible. In particular, the code examples come out severely messed up bold.It's incredibly distracting and unfortunately, as O'Reilly does suggest, viewing the PDF with Adobe Reader works fine.SO yes, before you buy this as a PDF, understand you're going to need to view with Adobe Reader...............

The former police chief of the Mohawk Tyendinaga First Nation is taking the Ontario Provincial Police(OPP) to court on grounds he was fired from the OPP for speaking out against racism in policing. Larry Hay was fired earlier this year from the eight person force after telling the Belleville Loyalist College student newspaper the most Canadian police groups are riddled with racism. Hay had been a member of the RCMP for over 20 years. He also charged the OPP had ignored recommendations from the Ipperwash Inquiry which urged police to work more closely with members of the First Nations' police groups in order to deal with possible issues of racism. The report cited "cultural insensitivity and racism was not restricted to a few 'bad apples' within the OPP but was more widespread."
Hay pointed out the First Nations' police had less power than other police groups nor do its police have the same rights in dealing with disciplinary actions. The OPP, as in most such cases, refused to comment about the charges on grounds reasons for his firing are in his personnel file and therefore can not be shared with the public.

Terry Burton says that taking charge of his first game back at the Club on Saturday will be a special experience.
The 59-year-old was appointed as reserves and head development coach earlier this month and will lead an Arsenal XI side at Meadow Park against Boreham Wood this weekend.
Burton has previously been a youth-team player, youth-team coach and first-team coach at the Club and is eagerly anticipating the latest chapter in his Gunners career.
"I am looking forward to it - it will be a nice occasion," he told Arsenal Player. "The players look forward to playing games because this is what it is about - this is what we work for, this is what we train towards.
"People always say it is not about winning games, and obviously it is not the be all and end all, but it is important that they know how to win matches.
"But in the long term you are trying to make a difference to their development so that in each training session they're adding to what they've already got, [with the aim of] making them capable of playing in the first team."
Arsenal are expected to take a mixture of reserve and youth-team players to Meadow Park and Burton is hoping they continue from where they left off at the Markus Liebherr Memorial Cup.
"I thought they applied themselves very well," he said. "They set about their task well and it was a great experience for them to be playing with other first-team players and also the opposition they were up against."
For ticket details of the Boreham Wood v Arsenal XI game, please visit www.borehamwoodfootballclub.co.uk or call 020 8953 5097.

'Still, the admission of interest from NHL teams seemingly gives credence to rumors that the Buffalo Sabres are again looking to buy the team. They tried to purchase the team in 2007-08, when the Amerks' former ownership group headed by Steve Donner was buried in debt. However, Styres bought majority interest in the franchise in June 2008.'

Gerbe hopes hot second half carries over to next year
'"I'm proud of this team, and I'm very happy to be part of it," Gerbe said. "If you look around the room at this team, it's made huge strides. A lot of young guys got good chances this year and played well. It was a good experience in the playoffs, and hopefully that can carry through."'

text: I am just not a fan of the 40 but there are two that I liked a lot. The M&P 40 and Browning High power. Both are very nice and have soft recoil, fast follow ups and and excellent accuracy. The M&P is going to be around $500 give or take a little and the High Power $600- the sky is the limit depending on which options you want.

Do it step by step here.
There is a fellow selling 80% lowers for that very thing here.
Some thread over on Weaponsguild had uppers.
Do it!
Need help to build .45 ACP ar-15, where to find parts , like use cheap easy to find mags
Do it step by step here.
There is a fellow selling 80% lowers for that very thing here.
Some thread over on Weaponsguild had uppers.
Do it!
Or you could get the Just Right Carbine in .45 acp. It uses either Glock or 1911 magazines. Can be less expensive than building an AR in .45
cheap and easy to find mags? --man your a day late on that one.
i have considered doing a 45ACP ar-15 carbine for the longest time but i keep getting side tracked.
you could use tompson or grease gun mags -or possibly UZI 45 mags. open up one of those plastic pro-mag blocks for the bigger mag?? or cut one out of a 0% and make the mag well for the mag your going to run.
you could do a DI gas and run an opened up 7.62x39 bolt. that would save a lot of buffer weight and still keep reasonable bolt carrier speed.
Mad machinist is they guy you want to talk to.
i though about doing a 40 S&W /10mm/ 357 sig the same way
the 40 is still on the back burner cause i can still get 40 ammo for semi-reasonable money. it would take UZI 9mm mags --but now their scarce and expansive too--
right now ammo and mags are a problem for about any build--
The day that has finally rolled around is why I assembled several 9mm AR15s. I have four of them now. When UZI mags were so easy to come by, I machined a pile of them out in the machine shop in the LAB.
Now these things are something that can make a pistol round act like a rifle round. And, with a bit more capability.
My capability up to 100 yards is quite good with these things. I don't have to dump my high powered stuff trying to manage close up problems. Most effective power for closer range work like the Germans developed with the MP40. But, a bit better accuracy in an Ar15 structure.
If I were you, I would look at Rock River Arms. They just might have some 9mm, AR15 parts left to assemble you a proven system?
Here is a link to quite a few pictures:
Just Right Carbines - Google Search
Here is the .45 for sale:
Just Right Carbine 45 ACP
There are some people online who had feeding issues. If you tweak the magazine springs per Just Rights instructions it feeds great. All you need to do is bend the rear of the top coil up so the follower pushes up more on the rear of the brass.
Mine feeds all the .45 ammo I have tried through it from 185 to 230 grain bullets. Round nose, semi wad cutter or flat point all go bang.
Here is info on the CNCGunsmithing AR-45 build.
They used an Olympic Arms upper, and custom lower.
The lower uses Grease gun mags, and is wider than a stock one due to the width of the grease gun double stack mag. Looks awesome.
The 100% receiver is avail. for $412 (see info at the end of the above link)

they still do a lot of pistol cal builds there--
And the .45 Promag Uzi mags feed 40 S&W beautifully....just pinch the feed lips in....I make a simple magwell adaptor out of a laser cut flat and a couple of pieces of aluminum.
I'm also working on a new series of blowback designs......that some of you might find exceptionally cool ......that is all I can say till I have a working prototype to show......

2010-2011 Wayne Law Review Editorial Board announced
DETROIT (Feb. 22, 2010) – Wayne State University Law School congratulates 18 students recently elected to the 2010-2011 Wayne Law Review Editorial Board.
Twenty-one of the Review's 30 second-year assistant editors applied for 18 editorial board positions. Students elected to the 2010-2011 Editorial Board include: Editor-in-Chief Louis Meizlish; Executive Articles Editor Elizabeth M. Kruman; Executive Note & Comment Editor Alexandra I. Papasifakis; Managing Editor Robert L. Avers; Production Editor Mary J. Weindorf; Survey Editor Melina Lito; Senior Note & Comment Editors Michael R. Kon, Andrew Mast, Erica A. Moise, Erika A. Monfette and Richard A. Treusch; and Senior Articles Editors Drew A. Carnwath, Roquia K. Draper, Jason A. Kanter, Richard L. Merpi II, Robert Z. Rogosich, Jacob A. Stamell and Zachary R. Tucker.
"My congratulations to the new members of the Editorial Board," said Wayne Law Dean and Professor Robert M. Ackerman. "The outgoing Board has performed marvelously, and I am confident that the new Board will be equal to the task. I look forward to working with them."
The incoming Editorial Board will officially begin their tenure on the first Monday following Commencement in May.
The Wayne Law Review is one of Wayne Law's two student-published scholarly journals. The Review is published four times each year and contains articles, book reviews, transcripts, notes and comments by prominent academics, practitioners and students on timely legal topics. Issues include articles of general academic and professional interest authored by law professors and practicing attorneys, as well as comments written by the Review's student members. One issue each year highlights a topic of interest discussed at the Review's annual symposium. Another issue features an annual survey of developments in Michigan law and is widely read by members of the Michigan legal community.
