great work bro
Thanks guys! Gettin' ramped up now.
UPDATE: May 25, 2013
Pretty good sized update for today. This contains a lot of work that was done over the last
couple of days. Once the Concrete was dry on the back panels, I began to stencil the
separation between the base color and the dark green. I use Winsor & Newton masking
fluid for this step. This is the only layered area on the helmet. Here are a couple of shots.
In these pics, the slightly darker shiny areas are the dried masking fluid. Winsor & Newton
is untinted, but I've never had a problem telling where it is, even with a coat of paint over it.
Once the W & N was dry, I masked off the remainder of the helmet. Once again, this is simply
for neatness. I try to contain my painted areas as much as possible. Good ol' blue painters tape
and some Glad cling wrap makes short work of masking larger areas.
I have never found an out-of-the-bottle color that I like for the back panels on the ESB.
This is one of the few custom colors that I mix. I start with a 1/2 oz. bottle of Testors
Model Master Acryl Euro I Dark Green, and to that I add approximately 65-75 drops of
Polly Scale BAR Blue. Yes, I count the drops. :lol I find that this gives the Euro green
just enough of a kick over into the blue-green range to look really nice.
When I airbrush this custom green, I don't try to get 100% coverage. I begin with a medium
coat that's kind of cloudy. I leave it just a bit translucent. Then using some reference pics
of the helmet, I begin to darken certain areas. This is like "built in" weathering.
After letting it dry for several hours, I unmask. I use a rubber cement eraser to remove the
masking fluid. It does an amazing job. . . it's like magic!
I began the detail painting with the left panel. To start with, I go back with some Concrete and a fine
brush and touch up the edges of certain areas. I just study the reference pics and tweak the edges until
I think they look good.
I also take my custom blue-green and a small brush and add in those subtle, darker patches that are
scattered over the back panels. Since the base coat is airbrushed, applying the same color with a brush
gives a denser application, so it appears slightly darker.
I stencil the gray areas the same way that I stencil for the dark green. Then I add the gray, using
Polly Scale SP Lark Dark Gray with a 000 brush.
To finish off the panel, I use some Floquil Bright Silver with that same size brush. The physical
scratches have been added in the picture below. I use a compass point and scratch right thru
the paint to the gelcoat.
Whew!! I think that's enough for today. :lol
Tomorrow I'll work on the right panel. There's a lot more happening on that panel, with that
enormous silver area, and I usually have to do it in several sittings. Otherwise my eyes catch on fire.
So pretty. It really is great watching your paint ups Eric, as because I tend to layer, watching the topical or "layer-optical" (to steal your own word), is a good change and shows just how to get fantastic results with different methods. Splendid work as always my good man! :-)
Thanks Jonny. :) I need to keep my layered skills sharp to do a ROTJ helmet (at some point.)
UPDATE: May 26, 2013
First stage of the right panel is complete. This is just the blocking in of the silver.
I actually did the small gray areas first, just to have some reference landmarks for when
I go back to do the detailing. The shape of the whole area will become more defined as
I begin to add the rest of the gray, as well as some additional dark green.
My arm fell asleep from doing this part! :lol
Great helmet!
Looking amazing.....
Thanks! Welcome to TDH, Moscou. :)
UPDATE: May 27, 2013
Back panels done *whew*
Here are a couple of shots of the right panel. I've added the contrasting color on
the silver damage. In the pics below, you can see that it's very subtle depending
on the viewing angle.
Nearly invisible above. . .
. . . but rotate the helmet slightly, and it becomes visible.
There are several other small areas where this pale color will be applied. The dent will have
some of this color added, as well as the curve of the right mandible, and a couple other
spots here and there.
Next stage will be to mask off the back panels and lay down the base color for the dome
and lower cheeks! It will slowly start to look more like Boba over the next few days. :)
Hey Scott, hope you had a good time at PCC! :thumbsup
What color is this pale color you are using to make that contrast in the silver?
Looks amazing Eric!!! And yes, I did enjoy PCC quite a bit. Went in my Tusken and had my first troop with my daughter which was a blast!!!
Thanks again Eric for the amazing paintup, and Asok for the super fast turn around on the GMH!!!!
Scott, the "BatMando" turned out great! :) I remember going to the Phoenix Con with Farva and some 501st guys
in 2008, right before I left to go to Korea. I guess it's grown into a pretty big show since then.
Glad you had fun with your daughter!
of me right now) called Blue Wisp. It's a very very very pale blue gray.
Ah ok cool. Thanks.
Now that I see this I see why you like addition damage...and the control. Looking good bud!
Thanks, F4R.
UPDATE: May 28, 2013
Got the base green down on the dome and cheeks yesterday afternoon and let it dry
overnight. So now I can begin the dome damage. This will be several updates with
lots of silver and gray. :lol
I don't know why, but I always begin my dome detailing at the back.
The silver and gray areas are pretty simple back here, but I get to add a lot of
physical scratches, which is fun!
I'll continue working around counterclockwise until the dome is done. Once I get all the damage
placed I'll have landmarks to begin the darkening/lightening of the base green. The colors won't
look so stark once I complete that part.
Stunning work my friend, just stunning!!!!
Very nice SJ
Thanks, guys. :) Scott, I just saw a little while ago that the metal Bordens
are starting to show up. Hopefully yours will get here soon!
UPDATE: May 29, 2013
Round and round we go. Got a bit more done on the dome today.
Next I'll move in front of the right ear and get that little "humped" area, then the cat scratch!
That's one of my favorite features on the ESB. :)
How do you not show brush strokes in the silver...any time I do a large area it shows strokes and such...
Well, I think a lot of credit goes to the paint. Floquil is excellent for leveling and not
showing brush strokes.
I make sure that my brush is well saturated with paint. Not so much that the paint
will "blob" when I touch it to the helmet, just so that I can get a nice smooth stroke.
I begin by painting a portion of the outline of an area, then when it seems that the
brush is almost dry, I go back and feather the outline into the area a bit.
Working quickly helps. I have found that if I overlap the areas slightly, and blend
them together while the paint is still wet, it really helps to eliminate brush strokes.
HRM....silvers mainly dont work for me with brushing larger areas....but yeh the floquils work pretty well
That's one of the things that impresses me about Superjedi's work. He can make a topical paintjob not actually look topical. If I tried something like that, at best it might result in something that looked worthy of being sold in a Walgreen's toy section...
Wolfsburg, thanks! It's not something that happened overnight. I've been doing this for
quite a while now, and it's a lot of trial and error-finding out what works well and what doesn't.
UPDATE: May 30, 2013
Not as big an update as I had planned. My throat is feeling a little gross today. Hope I'm not
coming down with something. :facepalm
I got the cat scratch and surrounding areas stenciled on, and got the silver painted before I
decided that I'll pause here for the day. Hopefully tomorrow I'll feel better and get the gray
areas done. It looks a little weird right now, but these are the "in between" stages that are
associated with a topical paint job.
If everything goes according to plan (insert evil laugh here) I should get to the dent
sometime on Saturday. :thumbsup
UPDATE: May 31, 2013
Feeling OK, so back to work Superjedi, you slacker! :lol
Got the remainder of the cat scratch done, as well as the surrounding areas.
Also did the smaller area above the turn signals.
I did the very fine scratches all through this area, too.
Next up. . . the dent! :thumbsup
UPDATE: June 1, 2013
Dentage! :)
Continuing to move around the dome, I've reached the dent. Arguably the most
recognizable feature of the helmet, there's a ton of juicy detail to apply.
As with the other sections done with a topical paint job, it begins with the main
silver area blocked in.
After working in the gray, along with the big streak coming back from the dent,
the nearly finished damage looks like this.
There will be some final detailing added at the end of the project. The area surrounding
the dent will receive some pastel weathering, a couple spots of slightly lightened green,
and some of that contrasting pale color within the silver.
Only a couple more damage sections to apply to the dome, then it'll be on to the cheeks!
UPDATE: June 2, 2013
I love weekends, I can really get a lot done. :)
OK, several steps for this update. After the dent and streak were done, I did the
smaller area under the streak, and the big area on top of the dome.
That completed all the major damage sections on the dome. There are a few minor details
left to do, but I need to get the killstripes on first in order to make sure they're positioned right.
It probably isn't obvious in the shots above, but I have also misted on some lightened green
on the dome and lower cheeks. The patterns are very diffuse, but it helps to break up the
one-dimensional look of the base green. It's sort of visible in the pics as a kind of blotchy look
to the finish, but once a clear coat is applied, the reflectivity will be evened out, and the
color difference should be slightly more apparent. It's a subtle effect overall, and it's more
readily visible to the eye.
After "blotching" the dome and cheeks, I did the upper cheeks with PRR Brunswick Green. This
was applied in 2 coats with a 1/2 inch flat brush. If I remember right, the upper cheeks were
brush painted on the original. (Someone correct me if I'm wrong.)
I did the detail painting on the right cheek first. Still using my Bright Silver, and 2 different
grays: my custom gray on the lower cheek, and SP Lark Dark Gray on the upper cheek.
In the shots above and below, I've also chipped out the physical damage using an X-acto blade.
Next up is the left cheek. :)
UPDATE #2: June 2, 2013
Whew! As the sun begins to sink slowly in the west. . . I'm done for the weekend.
I got the left inner cheek done. This part of the helmet contains the third and final
custom mixed color that I use. It's a blend of SP Lark and the dark green mixture
that I use on the back panels. It's just different enough from the "standard" custom
gray to be visually different.
It's weird that the gray damage on this part of the helmet is two different shades,
but it's one of those cool details that's fun to capture. :)
Tomorrow I'll do the upper left cheek, then the helmet will receive a quick spritz of
Testors Dull Coat to seal the paint work thus far. After that. . . killstripes. :thumbsup
Gettin' there, Scott!

my dads 87 was his first auto, he wanted to be able to drink his coffee on the way to work in the morning
after digging out in the driveway in my F250 he says he wishes ford still sold stick shift trucks
fun fact: they dont!
So it turns out my car will work in snowy conditions, and i was able to control it. I never went over 30mph on the way home though.. The snow was fresh and it was like 4am so there was hardly any tracks in it. This was a few weeks ago though, i just wanted to post something.
Woah, you guys got snow? Shit. It's been so warm here.
I envy you guys who don't pass 5-6 months under snow.
The snowiest month here is March. Blizzards everywhere
Ah, alright. Was going to say, Oklahoma weather is fucking crazy.
It really is, the other day it was nice and sunny, and then started pouring down rain and hailing for about 4 minutes, and then it was a nice sunny day again with a rainbow.
Oklahoma ain't got shit on Colorado. 10 inches of snow, 2 days later its 65-70 degrees out
im still kinda hoping for that one storm we get every year that lasts for 1-2 weeks and there is like 2+ feet of snow
My city is a mile above sea level and nestled by the Rocky Mountains, natural disasters can't do shit
Except avalanches, those can be bad
fuck your snow
Unless it's the kind of snow that doesn't fucking melt
breathe? Try opening your eyes. Mine are still bloodshot and aching from being outside allday with wind and sand blowing in my face...
vrooom vreeeewer *pshh*
That looks like fun. That's my favorite looking subi, even though i think most people consider it the ugly duckling. I might be remembering that wrong though.
I find the early 2000s bugeye imprezas pretty ugly, not as bad as the 2012 model though.
Looks better in action than it does standing still though.
It looks lighter, and more pure than the newer ones, and that's why i like it.
As far as 02+ Imprezas go, the '04-'05 are probably my favorite looks-wise. There was one at the RallyX event,
and another bugeye.
However, there were three or four of these guys and this is where my heart truly lies.
I took this one on my phone:
Lots of scoobies makes me a happy.
I dunno, the bugeyes just have some sort of character to them.
Come to think of it, i like most of the older ones, it's just the brand new ones that i don't like.
All the way up through '05 are great. Performance-wise they are going forwards though.... Don't even get me started on the transmission in my car.
Personally, I think the latest is the greatest.
I wish I had a really photogenic artsy picture of my truck, maybe after my roll pan is on I'll grab my moms expensive camera.
Taken a few days ago as I had a really weird gut feeling that I was going to crash it.
I wish mine was black :(
I wish mine had nice wheel trims and wasn't called an Vauxhall Corsa "Elegance" :(
man I switched fuels from an 89 to a 91/93 mix and I can really feel a difference even with such a slight change in fuel grades.
I though about getting some shell v-power one day, price difference isn't even that high these days compared to 98 octane
Also, hurrah for my '03 still carrying its original wheel trims. Scratch free when my mother had it, since buckled, chipped and scraped!
Old picture of my uncles 73' GTO with my other uncles chevelle in the background.
Eating up the snow
A pitiful video of my acceleration, i wasn't stomping it but it doesn't go too much faster
i finally took some vids of my jeep
I do that in daily driving your shit is weak
Again, no shit. It's supposed to be a joke to show how bad it is

Left broke and alone on campus as their classmates head to Florida for some fun in the sun, coeds Candy (Vanessa Hudgens), Brit (Ashley Benson) and Cotty (Rachel Korine) steal a car, rob a local diner with plastic guns, and head south with their devoutly religious girlfriend Faith (Selena Gomez) in tow. But when the girls are thrown in jail following a police raid on a beachfront apartment, it looks like the party is over until wild-eyed drug dealer Alien (James Franco) inexplicably posts their bail. Sensing danger, Faith boards a bus bound for school as her three friends fall into a dangerous cycle of drugs and debauchery. Later, a scary run-in with Alien's bitter rival prompts yet another of the girls to hightail it back to campus, leaving the remaining two to embrace their dangerous new lifestyle with reckless abandon. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

I loved reading the Calming Signals book and learned a lot.
One of my favorite observations is Molly's pretending to stop and smell the grass move. She does this if someone is approaching or behind us on a trail or sidewalk. She stops and lets them pass. I also love the air smelling and tracking signals. She alerted me to someone sleeping hidden away in the park the other morning.
She will also paw things and nose things. She has a look of despair and excitement combined when we don't stop and pass places where we've taken her out to for lunch or a snack. There are more and more restaurants in our area offering doggie menus.

It is an interesting topic.
I would like to delve into eye contact with my dogs and actually study it a bit but it is difficult as dogs minds work faster than ours and they simply communicate differently. As in they can adapt there facial expression much more than humans and I think they communicate non verbally with this mechanism and tail, ears and posture.
What i notice is if you stare into a dogs eyes for long enough and start blinking and twitching either eye the dog can copy you.
When the dog realizes whats going on it can also initiate the game with it doing the blinking first. It maybe be possible for a dog to learn a response for yes and no.
It was funny once I was doing this with my dog and after 20 minutes or so he twitched many muscles in his face and forehead/ears and realized I can't actually respond to that level of communication.
Another thing I tried with my female dog is to get her breathing differently in response to my que.
Basically she'd take a breath, then I'd take a breath. After a while I'd do a double breath and after a while she will copy it.

When I have a frisbee with Masi, her eyes bulge out of her head,,and I can see her brain saying "throw it throw it, throw it NOW !!"
My male aussie, same thing , he would go into "border stare" mode, hold a toy, the eyes are just BULGING out of his head, he's down in that border stance, as soon as it's in his mouth, wham, calm calm calm
Your dog's communication signals?
I know there's lots of books about canine communication out there. I like reading them, but what's even better is reading the dog in front of me. I try to interpret the behavior and for the most part it's pretty clear. But every once in a while I'll notice something that never gets mentioned in books, and I'm curious if any of you have similar stories?
My 'neato observation' right now is that my pup will flip the tips of his ears forward when he's really ramped up in play. I first noticed this when we had the flirt pole out, and I'd psych him out on a pounce: just when he thought he'd get it - zoom - it was gone from under him. His ear tips bent forward every time.
Now I'm seeing this with the frisbee too. He gets excited for the toy, and will face me with an air snap. Uh uh, he has to be at least 10' away for the toss. So he'll hand it to me, back up and give a snap, and run for the throw. That's when I see those ear tips bend forward: when he's running away, waiting to catch it.
Do you guys notice stuff like that? I know it's not something you can say across the board, "All dogs do this" type of thing...but I wouldn't expect all dogs to do the same thing anyway, since they do have different personalities. I'm just curious to know what little quirks you might have seen in your dogs.

Does anyone jamb the window channels?
I have a 65 mustang coupe almost ready for paint and I am contemplating how to go about it... If I were to paint the jambs and cut the fenders, could I also paint the window channels and then drop in the headliner and glass prior to spraying the entire car?
I imagine I can just tape off around the channels, lay down the bc/cc, then after the glass drops in, tape off the glass and rubber and scuff as deep as I can. would I have any lifting issues once I spray the car? I would not be concerned with lines since I would caulk and then cover with the window frame pieces.
I have been searching and have not been able to find any pictures or methods that cover this detail.
Not too sure what "window channels" you are talking about. Are they on the door or the drip channels by the inside of the roof. I don't know how you are set up but I always prefer to spray the whole car apart, they come out much better with all nice wet edges.
If you do plan on masking the windshield opening, lay a piece of masking tap along the inside edge (inside the car), leave some of the sticky part of the tape sticking out past the opening, so that when your looking at the windshield opening you can see masking tape and lay your masking paper into the opening...paint the car, install your glass and you won't have a paint edge.
Yes, I am referring to the channels that the front windshield and back windows sit in.
The thought being that if I do the door jambs and window channels, and cut in everything else, I could get the doors, fenders, and glass installed prior to painting so I don't scratch anything. If I paint everything fully off the car, I may lose it if I were to put a nice scratch in my new paint.
I've done it both ways and both ways do work...I prefer to paint the windshield areas with the glass out...it just makes for a better job and no tape line. I do understand why you would want to paint the car with the doors on especially if the color you are spraying is a metallic or pearl. Color control can be difficult in colors containing metallic's, spraying at exact same pressure, distance and gun setup are very important, but when it comes to the windshield area, paint it with the glass out and be careful putting them back in.
I wouldnt worry too much about scratching things putting them back together...just paint it which ever way will give the best and most uniform job. I put my Nova back together fully painted, by myself (cept hood n decklid) and didnt scratch or chip anything... Just use lots of masking tape on the edges of panels and you wont have a problem.
The color your painting is it a color with metallic's in it...that may make a difference...solid colors...not a problem.
I have done plenty of metallics apart without any vary at all. Have even shot the doors laying down a few times, instead of hanging them the way they would end up on the car. Now if your shooting a tri stage metallic that is a different story, would not shoot that apart because of too many variations with the mid coat. But if it is just a straight base clear all coming from the same mix, should not be an issue. Just as long as you spray beyond all your panels making sure you have full 3 coat coverage and don't end up with light coats toward your edges. On the very tough light metallics I will even go a fourth drop coat.
When these people post, I try to help them in the simplest way for them to get the best results, especially if they don't possess the years of experience it has taken me to enable me to do a tri stage in pieces. I'm not saying it can't be done...it can, but, The first engine I built didn't run 9's in the quarter mile, I didn't know enough as to how to build it, tolerances, matching parts, the importance of balancing, porting, polishing, suspension and so on...and I still have a lot to learn in this regard and there are a host of people on this site that would run circles around me. I'm learning.
If a person posts and has a question as to should he spray his windshield channels and install his glass before he paints the rest of the car and is afraid of scratching when assembling the pre painted pieces tells me that the experience that others may have is not present here and is asking a question not as to "can it be done" more to, "do I have to or should I or what is the easiest way to get an acceptable result with minimal potential for problems. Body Shops don't remove the windshield to paint a roof.
Lets look at the alternative, what if a person painting with minimal experience is painting a silver car in pieces and all we tell him is "I have done plenty of metallics apart without any vary at all. Have even shot the doors laying down a few times, instead of hanging them the way they would end up on the car", and the person sprays the car in pieces over several days and somewhere in the process the pressure on his gun varies by 4 pounds, or he changes the volume of paint coming out or whatever, conditions are not the same. Will the color be the same? In metallic's the correct answer is a flat out NO! If you paint a car in a solid color, you can virtually use a garden hose and a vacuum cleaner and the color will remain the same, not true with metallic's.
NovaFreak gave the original post great advice about taping edges so as not to scratch when assembling a vehicle painted in pieces and this is the type of advice that I feel should be given. Consider this, if the OP new what you new he wouldn't be posting, correct?
I've seen your work and you are an excellent painter and please don't be offended by what I'm posting, I'm trying to keep it as simple as possible so the OP can get the experience and confidence in the future, that we have now and to not even think about should I or shouldn't I paint the windshield channels before I paint the entire car.
Sorry for being long winded, but I needed to explain why I try and keep it simple and pass on the knowledge that has taken me over 30 years to attain then simply say NO PROBLEM.
Very well said Ray, and no I am not offended. Like you explain in your post we have a lot of experience painting so it does come second nature to guys who do it quite often and you are correct when pointing a newbie in a different direction then you or I would go in. You are 100% right that I did make it sound easier than it may actually be. So in a nutshell it certainly would be easier and more controlling to paint the car together if it were a metallic base.
The cool thing is, no matter how long we are in the trade, things will change and we never stop learning.
I could paint all the pieces off the car in my home booth, then roll the main body into a booth and shoot... I don't have enough room in my single bay to be able to walk around it with enough room to shoot paint.

Undergraduate Scholarship Resources
Institutional Awards
Students applying to Memphis College of Art will be considered for a portfolio scholarship based on the credentials submitted during the application process. These awards are based on full-time attendance and will be prorated for part-time enrollment and renewable through the completion of degree requirements. Students must maintain the following cumulative grade point averages (CGPA) to renew their awards each year: 2.0 for freshmen (0-29 credits); 2.25 for sophomores (30-59 credits); 2.50 for juniors (60-99 credits); and 2.75 for seniors (90+ credits).
Special Merit Scholarships
Students who are continuing enrollment will be considered for Special Merit Scholarship awards in the spring semester for the following academic year. Approximately 30 scholarships of varying value are given, ranging from $500 to $6,000.
Merit scholarships recognize merit and/or excellence in a particular discipline or division or other criteria as determined by the donor. Scholarships are based on full-time enrollment and are awarded over the academic year, half in the fall and half in the spring. They will be prorated for part-time attendance and students attending just one semester of the following academic year will only receive half the annual award.
Special merit scholarship recipients are required to participated in MCA's Give Back community service program by working up to 30 hours over the course of the academic award year.
Outside Scholarships
Scholarships or "free money" are the best way to help pay for college because they don't have to be paid back. All scholarships will have specific criteria as to who qualifies for the award, what the guidelines are for applying, and what amount will be paid. Scholarships may be offered by an organization, government, or by private sources. The best place to begin your search is by exploring organizations that you or your family may be part of: employers, schools, churches, professional associations, unions, and foundations.
MCA recommends free scholarship searches on the Internet. Here is a list of resources that may be a good starting point:

I think that's just silly. Companies need to start thinking outside the box. With DVRs and services like Netflix, commercials are on their way to being obsolete. I can skip through commercials on tv, but I can't demand someone remove their shirt, right? I bought a Mario shirt on here (Breakfast of Plumbers may have been the name) and I was like 'I miss Mario', so I played some Paper Mario. Then I saw this design and thought 'I miss the way worlds used to look. I miss the old gameplay.' And I've started saving for a Wii Points card so I can download the original. Ramyb's Mask Collection made me think about retrying Majora's Mask, see if I can actually get somewhere this time.
These big companies need to just chillax a little. Sure, you won't be able to charge $50 for a licensed t-shirt that most people will snub because of the price. But, hey, everyday people will be walking around advertising YOUR game, for FREE, and it'll remind people how much fun they had playing it. Both Nintendo and Xbox offer old-school game downloads, so people could actually buy the games they missed. And nothing screams "Buy the whole series!" quite like running into your favorite tv show characters or jokes in the form of a t-shirt. You can't tell me that NO ONE thought to buy Firefly when the corresponding shirt came out...
Anyway, sorry for the sorta rant. I really hope this doesn't get re-rejected, because it is totally awesome. I wish big companies realized that face-to-face, unintentional advertisement is more effective than getting annoying commercials crammed down your throat whenever you decide to watch tv. Those commercials don't make me want your stuff, it makes me want to avoid live tv at all costs.

If it doesn't win, they should allow it as a daily with glow in the dark. Or offer it in an upcoming event as a hoodie (with glow) or poster.
It looks like the problem says 1x1; shouldn't it be 1+1?

When I saw this, I totally thought it was a pokemon reference. I'm like 'That must be a baby moltress, or maybe that fire bird starter pokemon. Or maybe a newer one!?' So even though it apparently is not a pokemon, they have infinite lives since they just faint. And if I ever bought it, that'd probably be my story. "See, Zombie gets 2 lives, cats get 9, and pokemon can't die!" And my pokemon-playing adult friends would accept this as truth, haha. GMV

@ kwade2 - You had the same idea as my sister-in-law when she first saw it. Shame neither of you were around at 4am when I was finishing it off. Though it's a minor change, it was worth making, so I sent it in on the Print Ready file.

Jermaine Dye is unemployed because he would rather stay home & pout than accept market level payment for what his current services are worth. Not because of the color of his skin.
What idiotic comments by Hudson. Complete garbage.

I don't believe he is correct but as I have never personally had to experience racial discrimination I'm not going judge someone who very likely has.
I'll just say I don't agree with him on this matter.
Get your nunchucks and the keys to your dad's car. I know where we can get a gun
I've experienced it sight unseen. I have a Hispanic last name, but I am also half Irish. I've been hired because of my last name, and fairly certain I was not considered because of it.
That said, in this economy, that was as dumb a statement as I have ever heard. Lot's of guys, older guys, coming off big contracts weren't offered jobs. Their skin has nothing to do with it. It's all about the Benjamins.
Now if he wanted to make a collusion claim, I could see that. Maybe.
I got a new low, All 52 cards in a row.
TRF, I believe you mean you "haven't" been hired. I'm sure a lot of that goes on.

Hasn't he turned down like 4 contract offers?
If Jermaine Dye wanted to play, he would be playing. He wants money that teams were unwilling to give to anybody else. Why would they give it to him? Why does the O-Dog have his panties all in a bunch anyway? Jermaine Dye hasn't even said much about it other than he wanted more money or he wasn't playing...this is where the term "horsehockey" could be used correctly! :
I still think the Reds should sign Dye.

The race card is the end all/cure all crutch for someone of color or another minority group when things aren't going their way. It's the "old reliable". That song has played out and all it does these days is cause a rolling of the eyes rather than a raising of the eyebrows.
It also does a disservice to those who have endured some crazy stuff in our country's history.

About Me
Hi my name is Achim I am a German living in Sydney Australia. I have been taking photos since I am 8 and that is a long time now. I love the new area of Digital Photography with its endless possibilities and the much greater comfort. No longer do I have to stomp around in the dark developing film and prints.
However, I must admit I get nostalgic when I get a whiff of the lovely smell of the photographic chemicals.
I am a Wedding Photographer working in the surrounding areas of Sydney. I love the excitement of the couples as the day unfolds. As a photographer I am part of the big day of my couples and I see the day from beginning to end. My style is a mixture of candid photo journalistic and fine art wedding photography.
I also work for various magazines with some editorial work. I find this work very intriguing as I learn so many interesting things about the subject matter. I also creates a bit of a challenge when I have to make concrete look sexy.

AMES, Iowa ― Iowa State University Extension and Outreach horticulturists share information about bitter cucumbers, tomatoes that aren't setting fruit and why red raspberries may be partly white. To have additional plant and garden questions answered, contact the ISU Hortline at 515-294-3108 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Hot, dry conditions are usually responsible for bitterness in cucumbers in Iowa. Bitterness in cucumbers is caused by the compounds cucurbitacin B and cucurbitacin C. The cucurbitacins are normally found in the leaves, stems and roots of the cucumber plant. The cucurbitacins spread from the vegetative parts of the plant into the cucumber fruit when plants are under stress.
Bitterness does not accumulate uniformly in the cucumber fruit. The cucurbitacins are usually concentrated at the stem end of the fruit and just under the skin of the cucumber. Bitter cucumbers can sometimes be salvaged by cutting off the stem end and peeling the remainder of the fruit.
Cucumber varieties differ in their tendency to be bitter. Varieties that usually experience few problems with bitter fruit include Sweet Slice, Sweet Success, and Marketmore 76.
Extreme temperatures and dry conditions result in poor pollination and cause the flowers to drop from the plant without setting fruit. Blossom drop on tomatoes occurs when daytime high temperatures are above 90 F or low nighttime temperatures are above 75 F. Blossom drop is most common on the large-fruited tomato varieties. Cherry-type tomatoes set fruit over a wider temperature range. Fruit set also may be poor on peppers, eggplant and green beans in hot, dry weather.
Gardeners must wait for favorable temperatures for greater fruit set. Optimum fruit set on tomatoes typically occurs when daytime high temperatures range from 70 to 85 F. Water plants deeply once a week during dry weather. Hormone ("Blossom Set") sprays do not prevent blossom drop due to high temperatures.
A raspberry fruit (berry) is composed of more than 50 drupelets. The white colored drupelets are likely due to sunscald or white drupelet disorder. Sunscald and white drupelet disorder are physiological disorders caused by sun exposure (solar injury) and excessive temperatures. Berries with full exposure to direct afternoon sun are most susceptible to sunscald and/or white drupelet disorder. However, high temperatures also appear to be involved, as berries shaded by the leaf canopy also may develop white drupelets.
Watering the raspberry planting on a weekly basis (in hot, dry weather) may reduce the incidence of sunscald and/or white drupelet disorder.
Raspberries with white drupelets aren't very attractive, but are edible. Berries with brown (rotting) drupelets should be picked and discarded.

Discussion in 'Fantasy Sports Central' started by Slippy, Oct 11, 2007.
Well, my l'il stevie dribbles a lot.
NOt in the league but haven't seen Carlos Arroyos name thrown out yet. Did anone pick up this Assist/Scoring machine?
For the sake of keeping the league on a level playing field, Arroyo was banned from the competition. Pepe Sanchez and Rodney White are still available, by the way.
What about fringe players like Mejia and Super Dupe? Can I add them and send them to NBDL to stew?
You can always sign Super Dupe. Give him the vets min, put him in a nice suit, and sit him on the bench.
Okie dokie... Kidd - back Wallace - ankle Bogut - wrist At least so far this year none of the Sprockets have injured another Sprocket.
don't worry man, you got plenty of time for that to happen
can someone send me dba's roster so i can avoid trading for any of those guys? everyone you draft gets hurt!
The question is, whether having been a Sprocket last year means that a player will be injury plagued for the rest of his career. You may need to check both current and past Sprockets. In a couple of years the pool of available players may shrink so much the league has to shut down.
between dba, linwood and me, we could take out the ENTIRE NBA...take that Mr. Stern
I'm really hoping for a healthy season this time around. I tried to draft guys that are durable as well as talented. No T-Mac, no AK47, no Dwyane Wade, etc. So my two stars on the wing are Grant Hill and Ray Allen.
What is the "Can't Cut List" ?
I think you can add guys to that list from your roster, and it makes sure you don't accidentally drop them from your roster... not that your team really has anyone you need to put on the can't cut list.
Seriously...what is this list? Do you mean from your nightly playing roster or from your team? The list shows two from my team. I didn't put them there. ??? How could you "accidentally" drop someone?
In all seriousness, I thought this was a list of players that you didn't want to cut... but looking at it closer... it's players that you can't cut. What is the Can't Cut List? - Yahoo! Sports Fantasy Hockey
The can't cut list is so that teams can't tank the league and dump franchise material for another GM to scoop up.
Ok. Enough facts! Hang on to your casing Abe, you're about to get smoked!
Good news - Kidd is back and looks good. Bad news - Foye is out indefinitely. He is now the fourth Sprocket to go down and we haven't even started the season yet.
On man check out Sprocket Prince... 13-23 / 7-7 / 34 / 12 and an assist and a steal. Now we're rolling... What's that? These games don't count? What??!!? LINWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!
No one has suffered from the pre-season as much as I have. Boozer has played 2 games so far this week, and has a combined 62 points and 31 rebounds. In 2 games! He better rock the regular season. Or how about TJ Ford with 16 points, 12 assists (12!) , 2 rebounds, a steal, a block, and only one turnover. Even Babyfats got over his opening night jitters to give me 16 points and 11 rebounds... and a bunch of 3's from the center position.
Separate names with a comma.

Do you guys know any mmos like those two? Thank you D
Do you guys know any mmos like those two? Thank you D
Hm... last I checked, Rakion and Wolfteam. The latter is popular on Aeria Games but... the cash shop unbalances it so much, and its only like S4/Gunz in Wolf mode.
Don't know too much about Rakion, but Wolf Team is interesting in that you can play it like a classic FPS or you can play in Third Person as a Wolf, there are quite a few interesting modes, from Death match to the more interesting Bomb S2, where the humans must plan a bomb and the wolves have to stop them by killing them all or defusing the planted bomb. Only issue with it would be that the items humans can buy in the CS are crazy...I mean CRAZY over powered, Golden guns that shred wolves to bits in less than seconds, armor that makes them take far more claw hits than they should (A human without it only survives 2-3 Claw hits from most wolves, but only 1 from some and 4-6 of others, each with their own ups and downs, of course) and knife upgrades that make their knives nearly as strong as wolves claws
If you can handle the CS imbalances then I'd say go for Wolf Team, its still a fun game, its been a while too so perhaps they've weakened some of the items in the CS.
Good luck ^^
SD Gundam Online
Cosmic Break
The only things I would really consider close. Even then not by much..since S4 and Gunz both have a lot of use in wall bounces and such.

MS Delta Ducks Duck Report as of 11/20/12
After a fast and furious several weeks of preparation, the field staff guys have taken a few days to be with family and rest up for opening weekend. 22 field blinds have been built. 13 of these have Mexican thatch roofs. We have 6 sled blinds, 1 pit blind and 8 holes to be hunted from natural cover. 13 areas are planted in millet and 26 holes required pumping. Other blinds will be added as the season progresses and the low-lying areas flood. I am still observing more mallards and gadwall than in the previous few years. The ducks remain concentrated in the complex areas though I am spotting some gadwall and wood ducks in the brakes and yesterday began noticing small gatherings of ducks resting in flooded fields in the outlying areas. More specks and snows are in the Delta than is normal for this time of fall. This may be a good indicator that the Midwest will not hold as many wintering waterfowl this year because of the dry conditions and shortage of food sources.
I plan to spend a few days with my Lauderdale County family while Cris holds down the Delta. He will continue today and tomorrow to monitor water levels and repair spots of blind brush that have been affected by the elements. The water level may be ideal in a hole one day and then drop significantly the next day through soil absorption and leaking water control structures. One of the benefits of the season hunt program is having eyes on the water level each day.
For opening weekend, hunters can set the pace of the hunt in complex holes. There is a larger overall presence of ducks here, consisting of mallards, gadwall, green wing teal, shovelers, blue bill and ring necks. To increase the variety of ducks on the game hauler, patience is required. With a large concentration of shovelers early in the year, a quick shoot will probably yield a number of this species. If the hunt group allows the shovelers to land in the decoys and the hunters devote some time to being in the blind, the likelihood is that they will get good shots at gadwall, mallards and teal. The shovelers will often circle and come back even after a shotgun volley.
In the brakes and outlying areas, the ducks will set the pace. Hunters can expect sudden appearances by groups of gadwall, teal and mallards. When they show, shoot! Woodies will add to the mix.
Turning to the administrative side of the licenses purchased in the season hunt program for the 2012-2013 season, I feel that it is beneficial for the hunters to understand how the money is spent. The funds were expended to the following categories in the percentages listed:
Landowners 74%
Field staff 11%
Operations 7%
Web site administration 4%
Shareholders/officers 4%
Landowners are outside entities with no ownership interest in the corporation. Field staff are the guys that handle the work of building and assigning blinds, and getting the hunters to their holes. Operations includes the material for building blinds, premium for liability insurance coverage for landowners, seed for millet food plots, hunting and fishing guide listing, trade shows, and small miscellaneous expenditures. The web site administration is for third party administration outside the corporation. The shareholders/officers represent funds that went to accounts not devoted to expenses of the program. However, the officers still cover a number of expenses from this category, including travel to and from the hunt areas and other miscellaneous expenses.
It is our goal to be transparent in our services to the MS Delta Ducks hunters. We all endeavor throughout the process to make certain that the hunters' expectations meet the program. Also, we plan extensively to keep the hunting affordable and accessible. I hope that the season proves us worthy to the calling.
Get your gear together and let's bag some ducks.

Rated 5 out of 5 by BlondeBuckeyeBabe from In Love <3 I absolutely love these sunglasses! I got the navy pair for Christmas and they are beautiful. The frame is very flattering. I love the signature Tory "T" on the hinges. The navy color is perfect; I was worried it wouldn't look good with a black outfit but they are flawless. They're light weight and fit my face perfectly. They even stay on top on my head when I am walking around inside. I didn't have any issues with the cloth bag or case. I would definitely recommend these, I am tempted to purchase the brown pair. :)

I'd like a PM for that too, thanks.

I'd like a PM for that too, thanks.
Yep....me needs one too. A PM would be greatly appreciated!
Mr Fett - nice to see you again!
As you can guess, I'm upgrading. Got tired of all those resin and aluminum beacons on everybody...but me!
Did you get any decent pics? My camera screwed up for Saturday, so I only have a few pics from Friday and Sunday.
I don't have tons of pics,a few around, but have seen some pics of me pop up on various sites after C2 happened.
Upgrading is good! Whenever I have some extra cash, there's some things I want to upgrade as well! :)
Too big to post here, but click these links to secol_FETT's server hosting the Fett Ref CD for 2 great close-ups of the beacon shot by Brak's:
Hey Jedi-bob,
This is my beacon that i used a 1/16 drill bit, and drilled it to death!!! There is a red LED light i installed inside.
Here's an interesting point--did the ESB jet pack beacon actually blink, or was it on continuously?
Watching the movie, it looks like it pulses on and off. Not a hard blink on/off though, more like a dimming or fading. Like maybe 1.5-2 seconds gradually brightening on, then 1.5-2 seconds fading off. (the actual intervals need to be verified)
Hmm. I think I know just enough about electronics to rig up an "on-off" blinking circuit, but I don't know if I could do the gradual "fade-blink" that you're describing. Hyperdine...oh Hyperdine...we may have a job for you! ;)
I agree with MP...I just watched the movie again this morning, ans it does like a permanent-on light with a blinking/dimming on-off effect on it, which makes it more brighter when it does that. Just an opinion.
ok i go to the hardware and see this(check the pic), and then i search on the website and here is,
or
the only problem with this is the size, its to damn big, just the "beacon" part its like 5 or 6 cms or more, and i foun this pvc too

but im still looking one with the correct size or closer :)
Well, I tried to light up my hollowed out, resin beacon last night. I bought, from Radio Shack, a 9volt prong (with the - and + wires, a toggle switch, some extra wire, and a light I had which had a small socket and two lead wires already soldered to the base. I attached the battery leads to the toggle, and two wires to the toggle to the light. I have a circuit board from an emergency light that has a flasher, I plan on adding that to the middle to create the beacon flashing. I tried it and it seems to work) The toggle worked fine. I had it on the dining room table in the off position and BANG! The battery exploded!!!!!!!!!!!
What did I do wrong? I am just glad this was not sealed up in my JP!!!
I would really appreciate any help from you electroning gurus.
I would have loved to buy one of those cool beacons that were offered here, but I was unemployed for a year and can't really afford anything like that right now.
I have only heard that the reason for a battery to explode is because of very high temperatures. Was it an old battery??
I am glad you did not had it in your hand when it exploded, it could of been a worst dissaster.
I'm no expert, but it sounds to me as if the switch was the problem. I know you can buy them as a open loop & closed loop configuration. It sounds like when you had the switch in the off position the circuit back to the battery was complete. Did you notice the battery getting hot at all?
Yup, the battery was hot.
Definitely in the switch.
I had similar problems with getting the right setup for my Trooper helemt using one switch with two fans,and two batteries.A SPDT switch fixed the mix-up I had.
You should only need a SPST switch for the beacon application though.
Making props can be dangerous :eek
Heck yeah! It sounded like starter pistol. Now I am thinking about running the light wires out the back of the JP ands wiring it into a pouch. This way I can start the sealing process.
sounds like a problem I had with my last fan setup. I had a simple on/off switch, battery and fan set up. The battery connection had a red a black wire and I attached one each to the switch, then connected the fan the same way one wire to each post. I noticed the fan didnt go off and the battery got very hot. then I realized what I needed to do is simple connect the wires in a way that would have the switch attached to only one color. So that way my two black wires are attached to each other and one red wire is attached to each post on the switch. So maybe you were like me and just need to fix your wiring, simple mistake.
Jedi-Bob, glad that at least you're ok and safe. Have you tried BKBT's self-contained lighted beacon? That's the best choice and safest one so far.
P.S. Check your image hosting, specifically you "avatar", cause I can't see your pic now, don't know why.
Robert :fettrotj
Yeah, that's connecting everything all together (i.e. pos and neg permanently looped together), which you don't want to do. A switch should only go on one set of wires, not both. Sounds like this is what may have happened.:facepalmQuote:

Believe me, I would have loved to get BKBT's self contained beacon, but funds are tight and I already had the resin beacon cut out.If this works the way I am hoping, I will have a steady white strobe (not fast flashing).
Hey guys, I've read some threads and found some info that the beacon could be a Braun Curling Iron tip, and here's the amazing info I found!! I know it's not the same, but it sure does look like almost dead on! All it's missing is the groove around the middle.
:D What do you all think???
Nice find dude!
Thanks! I'm just having a hard time trying to find the right one since the curling iron would be from the 70's most likely :p

The choices and options for vocational work trucks continue to grow in complexity and sophistication. Concrete producers, who are under increasing pressure to document the return for their investments, are discovering that it's no longer prudent just to buy what they've always purchased in the past.
To keep your vehicle maintenance and operation costs down, managers need to do some homework before making another call to their truck dealer. This process should start well before completing the purchase order for a new work truck.
The last few years, the National Truck Equipment Association has offered several workshops to its members on how to best help customers specify trucks. These experts recommend starting by establishing and following a logical design process. In most cases, it's a simple four-step approach. Those who have adopted this process of specifying a new work truck have found the new vehicle meets the needs of the task.
Step 1. Determine what you need the truck to do.
Ask what the vehicle will be used for. Exactly what will you haul with it? How far will you drive it and how often? What special circumstances will your drivers/operators encounter and how often?
Don't just say, "I need a pickup truck." Thoroughly explore what will make that work truck most productive. Perhaps an upgrade in class will increase the vehicle's durability and extend its life.
For example, will your truck haul equipment? Does the driver need to be able to get equipment on and off the truck frequently? Do you need to haul material to unpaved jobsites? What kind of material are you hauling and how much? Will the truck have different uses at various times of the year? How many workers will it carry regularly?
Think about the environment in which you will drive the vehicle. Consider how features can improve or hinder productivity. Look at the performance of your current trucks. Ask your drivers which truck styles and equipment they prefer and why.
Step 2. Explore technical details.
Now that you've identified what you want the vehicle to do, figure out how to make it happen. If you have determined that the truck needs to carry six pallets of bagged product, defining how big those pallets are will impact the vehicle's bed size, and how much the pallets weigh will affect the vehicle's payload requirements.
How much payload weight and volume will the vehicle have to carry? What are the dimensional requirements, based on the size and shape of materials you are transporting? Will you use the vehicle to plow snow?
Then begin to ask about performance requirements. What is the optimal speed with a full load, braking considerations, and fuel economy? For many fleets, the question of fuel source is becoming important. Determine early in the decision process the availability and costs of alternate fuels.
What type of truck body and/or special equipment do you need? Account for the size of special equipment to be upfitted to the chassis, the weight of these components, cargo storage needs, component installation requirements and operational requirements, such as power sources for equipment, and equipment access. For many vehicle configurations, you must account for accessory items like generators, hose reels, and compressors. Your local vehicle equipment distributor can be a useful resource in this process.

The Dell brand is one of the most recognizable in technology. It was born a hardware company in 1984 and deservedly rocketed to fame, but it has always been about the hardware. In 2009, its big Perot Systems acquisition marked the first real departure from this hardware heritage. While it made numerous software acquisitions, including some good ones like Scalent, Boomi, and KACE, it remains a marginal player in software. That is about to change.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I don't think I'll want to run any narrower tires than I have; might pop under the strain... but maybe not.
I think I will try the gears though; gotta replace the seal since it leaks and always wondered if it could be geared better.
So you think I'll be more than satisfied with a good basic stock rebuild? Just get really good rings and seals on the heads? Hell, if that's the case, that's cool; that means more money for paint and such!
|4 Jaw Chuck
To improve your in town mileage try a shorter gear in the rear, a 3.25 or 3.50 will move the weight while not cutting into your highway mileage that much.
Have you considered a rebuild? There is no better bang for the buck than a good seal on the rings and no leak past the valves, it will boost your mileage and get some of that lost torque.
Forget the roller valve train stuff, the efficiency gain is less than 1%...you can get better than that by running narrower tires and pumping them to 40psi.
Yeah, it was getting pretty hard on gas towards the end; somewhere like 7-9 mpg on a good day. It all changes on the freeway though; had it up to 15-17 mpg. That's why I was thinking fuel injection of some kind, either multi-port or tbi for better in town mileage. The late model idea was due to price- can't beat those half-off sales at pick-a-part!
That's interesting though. Would getting rid of the smog bump on the heads be something I can reasonably do myself?
I was also told that a mild stroker setup with either an offset ground crank(making a 4.125 stroke) or a regular stroker crank(only one I could find was 4.150). Any thoughts?
If I read my diff tag right, I've got a 9" gear with a 2.75 ratio. I was considering an AOD but wasn't sure it would be better than the C6 I have now; perhaps it's time to reconsider.
In this order:
1) small tube headers, tuned collectors, expansion chambers, efficient mufflers etc.
2) a good strong 4x4 or RV cam, check CompCams catalog. Valve springs to match. all the lift you can get. You already have 1.7 factory rocker arms. I would stay with stock.
3) hot ignition with a moderate advance curve, vacuum advance mandatory. I like MSD on a 460 like this. Multi spark up to 3000 rpm helps efficiency.
4) intake manifold and carb size is not that important. Stock 4 bbl intake will be fine below 4500 rpm, but a low rpm aftermarket dual plane like Performer (NOT RPM) and a well tuned carb is a help.
5) mild bowl ported stock heads, definitely get the smog bump out and polish the exhaust port.
6) Compression? Geez you are fighting a low compression (8.0 or less) battle without changing pistons. If you accidently stumble into a set of 69-71 429 closed chamber heads, that would help if you can get the quench distance down to a reasonable amount. The pistons are way down in the hole.
I guess the late model 90s truck fuelie set up will be an improvement.
In town cruising mileage can't mean much with 6000 pounds and a 460.
In town gear ratio will make a big difference for acceleration, but kill mileage on the road.
If you get a 3/4 ton truck AOD that would help for any time you can get into OD.
Have a 460 like yours on the stand now, for a lighter car 3800. All torque, 5200 rpm max.
People call me a Ford guy, maybe I am
Roller valvetrain in Ford 460
I'm working on a 1978 ford 460 engine. My idea and plan is to make as efficient an engine as possible, while getting the most bang for my buck. I'm not too concerned about horsepower; this is going in a car weighting nearly 6,000lbs, so it's not going to be raced, only cruised in both on and off the highway. I don't have all the money in the world, but I am willing to put money into things that'll do the most.
I was planning on changing to a roller cam and rockers, but I've heard that a roller cam and rockers don't really work well in these engines and wouldn't be worth the money for what I want to accomplish. Is this true?
I do plan on getting fuel injection on this engine; from what I understand and have read I can use a late model top end- heads, intake, exhaust, etc- and be ok.

Thailand is essentially a Buddhist nation, but their southern region is extensively composed of Muslims. During the past few years, the Muslim south has been witnessed the emergence of separatist forces who seek to break away and create a separate Muslim nation. Thai authorities were shocked to learn that three soldiers and seven policemen were supplying intelligence to insurgents in the deep south. This is the first time so many members of the security forces have ben directly linked to what has become an increasingly ugly and violent conflict. Many Muslims are c aught between fear of the militants and demands for loyalty on the part of the Thai government. The current situation began in January, 2004, when insurgents raided an army arms depot and seized over 400 weapons. It is estimated over 2000 people have died in the ensuing violence.
About 80% of the two million people living in Thailand's three southern provinces are Muslim. These people claim lack of government assistance and less concern for economic and political rights which undoubtedly has provided insurgents support from many members of the local population. The area originally was a separate Muslim nation for hundreds of years before being taken over by Thailand. The question is whether or not the Thai government is willing to restore Muslim independence or create viable economic and political conditions which would entice people to remain under Thai rule.

Springfield, Ohio — Wittenberg University's Office of the First Year Experience and the Office of Community Service are in need of both participants and volunteers for a Community Action Poverty Simulation (CAPS) from 6:30-8:30 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 5, in the Room 105 of the Joseph C. Shouvlin Center for Lifelong Learning.
The simulations, which are open to the public, are designed to help people understand the realities of poverty through role-playing activities. As in a real community, the roles and situations participants encounter may vary widely as the simulated families deal with real-life situations, including interactions with human service agencies, grocery store clerks, pawnbrokers and bill collectors. Families might range from single parent to domestic partners and from unemployed to a two-income household. Each family will experience four 15-minute "weeks" in which participants must engage in the daily duties of the person they are simulating.
CAPS participants learn about adverse circumstances that face heads of households, including the use by impoverished families of cash advances, whereby businesses take up to 10 percent of the salary in order to cash a paycheck. The simulation was designed to sensitize those who frequently deal with low-income families, as well as to create a broader awareness of the realities of poverty among policymakers, community leaders and others.
To participate or volunteer to run the simulation, contact Melissa Jackson, class of 2007 and AmeriCorps VISTA in the Office of Community Service, via e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com by Monday, Nov. 3. Registration can also be done online byclicking here.

Dennis Cimino says he wrote to the ICC 10 times before getting this form letter response. I don't know what he wrote, but I recommend that you write to them too. Their address is on the letter.

The Hague, Thursday, 18 December 2008
Dear Sir, Madam
On behalf of the Prosecutor, I thank you for your communication
received on 7/30/2008, as well as any
subsequent related information.
As you may know, the International Criminal Court ("the ICC" or "the
Court") is governed by the
Rome Statute, which entrusts the Court with a very specific and
carefully defined jurisdiction and mandate. A
fundamental feature of the Rome Statute (Articles 12 and 13) is that
the Court may only exercise jurisdiction
over international crimes if (i) its jurisdiction has been accepted by
the State on the territory of which the crime
was committed, (ii) its jurisdiction has been accepted by the Statute
of which the person accused is a national, or
(iii) the situation is referred to the Prosecutor by the Security
Council acting under Chapter VII of the UN
Based on the information currently available, it appears that none of
these preconditions are satisfied
with respect to the conduct described. Accordingly, as the allegations
appear to fall outside the jurisdiction of
the Court, the Prosecutor has confirmed that there is not a basis at
this time to proceed with further analysis.
The information you have submitted will be maintained in our archives,
and the decision not to proceed may be
reconsidered if new facts or evidence provide a reasonable basis to
believe that the allegations fall within the
jurisdiction of the Court. The decision may also be reviewed if there
is an acceptance of jurisdiction by the
relevant States or a referral from the Security Council.
I hope you will appreciate that with the defined jurisdiction of the
Court, many serious allegations will
be beyond the reach of this institution to address. I note in this
regard that the ICC is designed to complement,
not replace national jurisdictions. Thus, if you wish to pursue this
matter further, you may consider raising it
with appropriate national or international authorities.
I am grateful for your interest in the ICC. If you would like to learn
more about the work of the ICC, I
invite you to visit our website at www.icc-cpi.int.
Yours sincerely,
M.P. Dillon
