|thanks a lot thats gonna help solve my problem. also gave me some more information to store into my little brain. thanks. later
'Horsepower' for an internal combustion engine is calculated by
(Torque, ft-lb) X (RPM) / (5252).
At very low rpm, it is difficult to generate much horsepower even with high torque as the equation shows. As the RPM increases power goes up proportionltely. These engines all have the characteristic that they produce torque poorly at low speed but build torque as speed increases. This torque increase is a function of everything discussed on this board; compression, cam timing, ignition, induction design, exhaust design, component strength, etc. etc. Any engine has a peak horsepower -- an rpm value at which the power available from the engine is at its maximum. An engine also has a peak torque (not necessarily at the peak power point, strange as it might seem) at a specific rpm due to the above described design considerations. You will often see this expressed in a brochure or a review in a magazine as "320 HP @ 6500 rpm, 290 lb-ft torque @ 5000 rpm" (the figures for the 1999 Shelby Series 1). When people say an engine has "lots of low-end torque," what they mean is that the peak torque occurs at a fairly low rpm value, like 2,000 or 3,000 rpm. You might think that if an engine produces 100hp @ 5,000rpm, it should produce at least 200hp @ 10,000rpm and 400hp @ 20,000rpm, and so on indefinietly. Unfortunately, as speed increases, engines begin to fail at making torque due to the physical limitations of moving the valves and pistons, getting the gasses in and out, igniting and completely burning the charge, etc. Thus at some point the torque curve begins to fall off and the engine produces less power at increasing speed.
Another thing you can see from a car's horsepower curve is the place where the engine has maximum power. When you are trying to accelerate quickly, you want to try to keep the engine close to its maximum horsepower point on the curve. That is why you often downshift to accelerate -- by downshifting, you increase engine rpm, which typically moves you closer to the peak horsepower point on the curve.
The 4 cylinder and V-8 you mention both suffer from the above limitations.
The more cylinders, and the bigger the bore, the more torque can be genterated at a given speed. The rule of thumb is 'There is no substitute for cubic inches!'
The smaller engine can create only about half the torque of the engine with twice the cylinders so can only generate about half the power. Other than that, there isn't any difference in how they work.
[ January 03, 2003: Message edited by: email@example.com ]</p>
every power curve chart i've seen goes up and then down at the end. only thing i can think of is that 4cyl may get more revs depending on what kind of engine it is.
power curves
ok i want to know what the power curves of a 4 cylinder compared to a v-8 look like. stock power curves. arent they both the same? my friend keeps saying v-8's dont have high end power, he says the curve goes up up and then down, but a 4 cylinder will to right?

Definition: A public relations announcement issued to the news media and other targeted publications for the purpose of letting the public know of company developments
Think of a press release as your ticket to publicity--one that can get your company coverage in publications or on TV and radio stations. Editors and reporters get hundreds of press releases a day, so how can you make yours stand out?
First, be sure you have a reason for sending a press release. A grand opening, a new product or a special event are all good reasons.
Second, make sure your press release is targeted for the publication or broadcast you're sending it to. The editor of Road & Track is not going to be interested in the baby pacifier you invented
To ensure readability, your press release should follow the standard format: typed, double-spaced, on white letterhead with a contact person's name, title, company, address and phone number in the upper right-hand corner. Below this information, put a brief, eye-catching headline in bold type. A dateline--for example, "Los Angeles, California, April 10, 2006"--follows, leading into the first sentence of the release.
Limit your press release to one or two pages at most. It should be just long enough to cover the six basic elements: who, what, when, where, why and how.
Don't embellish (=decorate, exaggerate) or hype (=build up, sell) the information. Remember, you are not writing the article; you are merely providing the information. Pay close attention to grammar and spelling.
If you have the money to invest, you may want to send out a press kit. (See next blog entry!)
Does your company ever send out press releases? For what reason?

Arsenal take on West Ham in the Premier League at Upton Park on Saturday.
With Stats Zone, you can brush up on the facts and figures behind every Gunners match this season, brought to you by Opta and the Official Matchday Programme.
In this week's edition, we focus on Kieran Gibbs' key role on Saturday and the battle between Thomas Vermaelen and Andy Carroll.
Kieran Gibbs has been one of Arsenal's most consistent performers so far this season and has been rewarded with a recall to the England squad for the World Cup qualifiers against San Marino and Poland. In both defence and attack, the 23-year-old has excelled and has won more than half of his duels in the Premier League.
Gibbs was a winger earlier in his career, and that is obvious when you see him in full flow on the left flank. Arguably his best performance of the campaign from an attacking sense came in the 6-1 defeat of Southampton last month when he played a key role in the visitors' two own goals. The 23-year-old offers the team genuine width on the overlap, and Figure 1 shows just how influential he was in the Saints' half.
But it is the defensive side of his game that is most likely to be tested at Upton Park on Saturday, as West Ham look to cross from deep in an effort to find the head of Andy Carroll. The Arsenal full back faced a similar test at Stoke earlier this season, and Figure 2 shows how he defended deeper and made fewer runs forward in an effort to restrict the Potters' time and space. Gibbs will have to be similarly disciplined to keep Carroll and West Ham quiet this weekend.
Figure 1 - Gibbs v Stoke Figure 1 - Gibbs v Southampton
PLAYER COMPARISON - VERMAELEN v CARROLL
Carroll has looked like a player reborn since his loan move from Liverpool to West Ham this summer - although injury has restricted his progress somewhat. However, the England striker fits perfectly into the Sam Allardyce blueprint and has the potential to cause the Arsenal backline major problems on Saturday.
If the Gunners are to keep the 23-year-old quiet, they may well deploy Thomas Vermaelen once more. The Belgian put in one of the most dominant defensive displays of last season in marking Carroll out of the game when Liverpool visited Emirates Stadium, and the striker eventually made way after 71 fruitless minutes.
The battle between the pair could have a major say on the outcome of this weekend's match, and the stats suggest it will be fiercely contested. Both players have won 16 aeriel duels so far this season, with Carroll possessing a slightly better success rate of 64 per cent to Vermaelen's 61.5 per cent. But the Arsenal captain has won far more of his overall duels, 62.7 per cent to 45.5 per cent.
- Arsenal have lost just one of their last 11 Premier League away games (W6 D4 L1)
- Arsène Wenger has won just two of his nine away games as a manager in Premier League head to head meetings with Sam Allardyce (W2 D3 L4), the first one v Bolton in April 2002 and the last one v Blackburn in August 2010
- There have been four penalties awarded in the last four Premier League meetings between West Ham and Arsenal
- Arsenal have won six and lost none of the last eight Premier League encounters with West Ham
- The Hammers were the last Premier League side to win at Highbury and the first team to win at the Emirates Stadium
- West Ham have lost just one of their last 16 league games at Upton Park (W8 D7 L1)
- Arsenal have only had fewer points after six games of a Premier League season in two of the previous 20 seasons, seven in 2011/12 and five in 1994-95
- Only one team in Premier League history has had fewer than 10 points after six games and gone on to win the title - Manchester Utd 2002/03
- Gervinho has scored three goals from just three shots on target in the Premier League this season
- West Ham scored the most goals from set plays in the 2011/12 Championship, while the last three league goals Arsenal have conceded have come from dead-ball situations
- West Ham picked up eight yellow cards in their last match (v QPR), an all-time Premier League record

Utah's overall high school graduation rate ranks in the bottom half of the country and the Beehive State is doing even worse when it comes to minority students, according to preliminary data released by the U.S. Department of Education on Monday.
Utah had a lower overall graduation rate than 31 states, a higher rate than 14 and tied with three others, according to the data that shows graduation rates for 47 states, the District of Columbia and the Bureau of Indian Education in 2010-2011. The state's overall graduation rate was 76 percent that year.
The state fared far worse when it came to some groups of minority students. Utah had the fourth-lowest graduation rate for Latinos in the country at 57 percent. It tied with Minnesota for the second-lowest graduation rate in the nation among Asian/Pacific Islander students at 72 percent.
"We're disappointed we're not ranking higher as compared to other states, and we're definitely going to continue to be focused on it and working to improve it," said Judy Park, state associate superintendent, noting that she expects to see improvement when new graduation data is released for Utah.
She said the low minority rankings are likely a reflection of Utah's changing demographics and the need to improve in that area. She also said she believes there's a correlation between the rankings and Utah's lowest-in-the-nation per pupil spending.
"I think it just shows that that's an issue," Park said of per pupil spending. "When there's not adequate funding put into education, it's going to be reflected in how we compare to other states."
Analis Carattini-Ruiz, a Latina representative on the state school board's Coalition of Minorities Advisory Committee, called Latinos' low ranking in Utah "disheartening." Latinos are Utah's largest minority group, making up about 15.5 percent of all Utah public school students.
She said a problem in Utah schools is a lack of Latino educators and role models. She said educators must also focus on culturally responsive teaching and creating welcoming environments for Latino students.
She cited the success of Latinos in Action, a program in schools throughout the state that sends high school and junior high students into elementary schools to work with students and perform community service. Carattini-Ruiz, who is also an alternative language services coordinator for the Canyons District, said Canyons has seen its Latino graduation rates rise since she brought the program there three years ago.
"We have a lot to learn in terms of reflection on other cultures and infusing that into our everyday teaching so our kids can identify with what we're talking about, can identify with people in their community or have guest speakers that look like them," Carattini-Ruiz said. "Infusing a lot of those elements into our education system is critical because sometimes our kids feel like they don't belong there."
Mark Bouchard, chairman of Prosperity 2020, a Utah business-led initiative to boost education, said part of the challenge is that Utah became diverse more recently than a number of other states. He said the state's approach to education must change accordingly, recognizing that not everyone learns in the same way or comes from the same educational background.
"We should view it as an opportunity," Bouchard said, "as a wake-up call for Utah to really start focusing our attentions on the largest growing areas of the state and start thinking more strategically about the kinds of investments we need to make in order to improve in those areas."
He said innovation and strategic investments in education are key.
The preliminary data released Monday, for the first time, shows graduation rates for all states calculated using the same new, federal formula. That formula, implemented in Utah for the first time last year, changed who counted as a graduate. It resulted in lower graduation rate numbers for many states, including Utah, which had previously calculated its rate at 90 percent, though Utah's graduation rate has been improving over the last four years.
The old formula, for example, counted as graduates students with severe cognitive disabilities who took a certain state assessment but didn't earn regular diplomas; students who earned GEDs; and special education students who took more than four years to graduate. Now, none of those categories of students can be included as graduates.
Also, students who transfer to higher education, to a Utah College of Applied Technology, who withdraw from high school due to illness or injury, or who earn certificates of completion (meaning they didn't leave high school but didn't earn enough credits to graduate either) must now be counted as nongraduates, whereas before they weren't included in any calculations.
The statewide graduation rate is also now being calculated starting with ninth-graders instead of with 10th-graders.
The U.S. Department of Education required all states to use the new formula in an effort to make comparisons between states easier and ensure rates weren't inflated at the state level. The department called the data released Monday preliminary and said it would release final rates in coming months.

CORAL GABLES, Fla. - Miami made a school record-tying 15 3-pointers and extended its winning streak to 11 games by beating North Carolina 87-61 on Satuday afternoon at the BankUnited Center.
Sophomore Shane Larkin had 18 points and a career-high nine assists for the Atlantic Coast Conference leaders, who built margins of 9-0 and 44-27 en route to another rout. They improved to 11-0 at home, where each of the past four wins have been by at least 22 points.
Such success is unprecedented for the Hurricanes (19-3, 10-0 ACC), who set a school record for ACC victories in a season with eight games still to go. They are the last unbeaten team in league play among the major conferences.
North Carolina (16-7, 6-4), which began the season 18-2 against the Hurricanes, lost to them for the second time in four weeks.
The Hurricanes made 13 of their first 19 3-point tries and finished 15 for 26 from beyond the arc. Larkin tied a career high with five 3-pointers in eight attempts.
Miami's smothering defense did the rest, flustering a team averaging an ACC-best 79.1 points per game. Julian Gamble led the way with four blocks, and the Tar Heels were so discombobulated that on one inbounds pass, two of their players collided away from the ball and went sprawling.
Another climb in the polls for the Hurricanes is likely next week, which would mean their best ranking ever. They have never been higher than No. 8, and achieved that spot this week for the first time in 53 years.
Kadji and Durand Scott each had 17 points and six rebounds for the Hurricanes, who shot 54 percent, the best against Carolina this season.
Reggie Bullock led the Tar Heels with 14 points, while James McAdoo totaled only six, nine below his average.
Carolina, playing in new throwback uniforms, looked out of sorts from the start. The Hurricanes made layups on three consecutive possessions to take a 9-0 lead after only 2 minutes.
The Hurricanes' defense was so good they committed turnovers on five consecutive possessions and still led 13-2. They hit six 3-pointers over the final 5:04 of the first half to go ahead 44-27.
Five minutes into the second half, the margin was 59-33. It was such a clean performance by the Hurricanes that they played 24 minutes before either team shot a free throw.

Phoenix Opens Horizon League Tournament Friday Against Loyola
By: Ryan Hartwig (@RyanHartwig)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - The Green Bay volleyball team (15-13, 6-8 HL) begins its quest for the 2012 Horizon League Championship on Friday, as the fifth-seeded Phoenix will face fourth-seeded Loyola (16-11, 8-6 HL) in quarterfinal action at 4 p.m. CT at Woodling Gymnasium in Cleveland, Ohio.
The winner of the Green Bay-Loyola match will face either No. 1 Cleveland State or No. 2 UIC in the semifinals on Saturday, depending on the winner of the No. 3 Valparaiso-No. 6 Youngstown State contest. Cleveland State will play the lowest remaining seed.
The top-seeded Vikings earned the right to host the 2012 Horizon League Championship by virtue of their 13-1 record in conference play (21-6 overall). The top six teams in the regular season standings qualified for the league championship. The winner of Sunday's title match (1 p.m. CT) earns an automatic berth into the NCAA Tournament.
Fans can follow Green Bay's quarterfinal match against Loyola with live stats and free live video on the Horizon League Network. The official Green Bay volleyball Twitter (@GBPhoenixVB) and Facebook (Green Bay Phoenix Volleyball) accounts will also be posting live updates throughout the match and the tournament.
Green Bay split its regular season contests against Loyola, falling 3-2 in Chicago on Oct. 6 before winning 3-0 at the Kress Center on Nov. 2. The Phoenix was dominant on the defensive end in the recent sweep, holding the Ramblers to a .071 hitting percentage and finishing with a 13-4 advantage in total team blocks. The Oct. 6 meeting resulted in a heartbreaking loss for the Phoenix, as the visitors surged out to a 2-0 lead before dropping three close ones in sets three through five.
Loyola is led by senior transfer Anna Eytchison, who picked up All-Horizon League and Newcomer of the Year honors earlier this week. Eytchison finished the regular season second in the conference in kills with 446 (4.37 per set), and has recorded 20 or more kills in 11 matches this year. A total of four Ramblers landed on the All-Newcomer Team, as freshmen Brittany Brown (1,052 assists, 10.12 per set), Stephanie Kinane (530 digs, 5.10 per set) and Kathleen Vogel (246 kills, 2.46 per set) joined Eytchison on the seven-member squad.
Green Bay had two All-Horizon League honorees of its own, as seniors Brittany Groth (Oak Creek, Wis.) and Carmen Leitermann (Schofield, Wis.) were both named to the 14-member all-conference team. Groth broke the school's career and single-season digs records last weekend, helping her earn Horizon League Defensive Player of the Week honors for the third time this season. Leitermann also broke a school record this season when she became Green Bay's career leader in solo blocks on Oct. 19 at Youngstown State.
The Phoenix went 1-1 during the regular season's final weekend, sweeping Wright State 3-0 last Friday before falling 3-0 to Valparaiso on Saturday in a pair of road matches. Groth notched a match-high 27 digs in the sweep of the Raiders to move her past former Phoenix standout Megan Elfering (1,789 from 2005-08) on Green Bay's all-time list. Groth now has 1,836 for her career. Leitermann had a team-high 12 kills in the win, hitting .417 for the match.
Groth then broke her own single-season record of 659 digs (2011) with 22 more against the Crusaders, pushing her 2012 total to 665. Lyndsay Zabkowicz (Oak Creek, Wis.) led the Phoenix offense at Valpo, registering a team-best 11 kills.
Green Bay enters the 2012 Horizon League tournament having won five of its last eight contests.
The Phoenix has been one of the top defensive squads in the Horizon League in 2012, leading the way in blocks per set (2.35) and digs per set (18.58). The digs per set average currently ranks sixth among all NCAA Division I schools, while Groth's 6.27 average is first in the league and third nationally. In addition, Phoenix junior Katie Mroczenski (New Berlin, Wis.) ranks second among all Horizon League players in blocks per set (1.20).
Green Bay volleyball head coach Debbie Kirch joined host Ryan Hartwig in studio on Wednesday for this week's episode of Match Point. Kirch recaps the team's recent awards and previews the 2012 Horizon League tournament.
Green Bay needs three victories in Cleveland to win the 2012 Horizon League Championship and earn a trip to the NCAA Tournament. It would be the school's second trip to the Big Dance, as Kirch's squad qualified in 2003 by winning the conference tournament title.

Howdy OzBuzz.where are you getting the PF prewaxed and how much for one versus quantity?
Nothing worse than Red Bum mate! :-DI took off some honey today and found some of my plastic frames have barely been touched after around a month in the hive.We got a paint brush and brushed on some of the hot cappings. I put the frames back in and I'll keep an eye on them to see how they go this time.
Burn my rego. number on the frames due to the dishonest pricks out there who attempt to steal ya stuff. Wish these dishonest bits of skat would get caught and flogged.

Ok, so i know the easy answer is CELTA but for the many among us that dont immediately have £1000+ to hand I am interested in advice and opinions on my current predicament.
Along with quite a few others if my research is accurate I fell for the 120 hour online advanced course with TEFL express and am nearing completion of it. From what most people seem to be saying in terms of 'on paper' this is pretty much entirely useless. I am planning on taking the TKT modules 1-3 at very least and already have a 2:1 degree from the University of London (in media from 2002!) so hopefully this will stand for something.
Of course I would love to (and hopefully will) take the proper CELTA course as soon as I am able but in the mean time would appreciate anyones thought and opinions on what the practical differences are between full on CELTA vs TKT and Degree (and native English speaker).
Is it more that certain countries will not accept you? all countires? lower income? etc etc.
Any thoughts and advice are much appreciated, I am enjoying my studies a great deal (who knew grammar could be fun!!) so am certainly not against spending more time and money on accreditation - am just intrigued to know the real differences as opposed what you find on company affiliated forums.
Many Thanks and I look forward to hearing your opnions,
All the best

Thierry Henry admits he milked his goalscoring moment on Saturday.
The Arsenal striker knew his 90th-minute winner at Sunderland would be his last goal in England for the Club he professes to love.
So when the Frenchman steered in the 229th strike of his North London career he made sure he enjoyed it with the travelling support.
"I stayed a bit longer with the Arsenal fans because I knew it was my last game in the Premier League so I wanted to say 'Thanks, that's it'," he said.
Well, almost. Henry has one final game in Milan on Wednesday before heading back to New York Red Bulls. And his temporary club are in fine fettle after that 2-1 comeback at Sunderland lifted them to fourth.
"It looked like being one of those afternoons where we could not find the net. But thankfully Aaron Ramsey put us on the way and I finished the job.
"Then for my goal the cross from Andrey Arshavin was perfect. You have to give him credit. I just had to get on the end of it. You can always miss but I was just the guy who put the ball in the net.
"I felt like the kid who just come on and scored his first goal for the Club he loves but, when it comes to Arsenal, I always feel something special.
"I really must say I was on the end of a great cross. It just happens that it was me in the last minute so it is a story. But the most important thing was the three points whether I was in the team or not."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Billions and billions of dollars have just been spent trying to influence your vote. Now Election 2012 is finally over, we try to make sense of the choices Kansas and Missouri voters made at the ballot box on Tuesday and assess its impact on our future.
McCASKILL WINS: The polls before Election Day showed that St. Louis area Congressman Todd Akin (R) still had a shot at unseating Missouri U-S Senator Claire McCaskill. But he loses by 16 points. Was it simply the illegitimate rape comment that sank his campaign? Or was there more to it than that?
CIGARETTE TAX FAILS: It had been on the ballot twice before. Third time lucky anyone? Not so for the Missouri tobacco tax. Efforts to raise Missouri's lowest in the nation cigarette tax failed on Election night by the slimmest of margins. Tuesday's vote was 50.8 percent against. By the way, in 2002, the vote was 51 percent against. In 2006, it was 52 percent.
KANSAS: Who would control the Kansas Senate was a big story line of this election in the Sunflower State. According to the Associated Press, "Conservatives are now on track to hold a super-majority of 27 in the 40-member Senate." So what does that mean?
VOTING LINES, MACHINES & PHOTO ID: In Kansas, this was also the first election where you had to show a picture ID. You may remember there were lots of concerns that many people would be disenfranchised. Voters would be turned away at polling stations. Did we witness any of that on Tuesday? Were there any big problems reported of any kind at our bi-state polling stations?
THE OTHER STATEWIDE BALLOT ISSUES: Missouri voters on Tuesday overwhelming approved a ballot measure that blocks the governor or any state agency in the Show-Me-State from setting up a "health care exchange," an integral part of the Affordable Care Act. Now that President Obama won the election, what does this mean? Also on Election Day, voters reject changing the way higher court judges are picked, but opt to give the city of St. Louis the right to govern and control its own police force. Will KCMO Mayor Sly James now head straight to Jefferson City to demand a similar local control measure for the Kansas City police department?
NIXON FOUR MORE YEARS: Missouri voters gave four more years to Governor Jay Nixon. Peter Kinder is awarded another term as Lt. Governor. Chris Koster earns re-election as Attorney General. Clint Zweifel will continue on as State Treasurer. But there will be a new Secretary of State and he's from Kansas City. Missouri State Representative Jason Kander, a Democrat wins by the slimmest of margins. He will replace Robin Carnahan, who opted not to seek re-election. But if Missouri is such a "red state" why are four of the five statewide officeholders now Democrats?
CONGRESSIONAL STATUS QUO: There were celebrations at the headquarters of Vicky Hartzler Tuesday night and at the Emanuel Cleaver campaign. In fact every single member of our Congressional delegation is re-elected by wide margins. For all the frustration that nobody likes Congress (and their approval rating back in August was at 10%, according to Gallup) are there any lessons to learn here?

Wednesday 4th April 2012
Like all away Gooners I thoroughly look forward to visiting grounds and areas we haven't been to for a while. The short journey, the Saturday three o'clock aspect and a large variety of pre-match options in the Shepherd's Bush area of London all contributed to what had become a highly anticipated fixture.
The day's activities themselves did not let us down with many of our group gathering to enjoy the local wares leading in turn to us entering our hosts' tight, old fashioned and atmospheric Loftus Road ground with confidence and high spirits.
Unfortunately on this occasion, a couple of hours later the emotions were crammed full of disappointment and frustration.
We didn't play particularly well on the day, none of us can argue with that, but I do feel we were severely punished on what seemed to be the only two occasions Rangers found themselves with scoring opportunities.
At half-time there was certainly an air of confidence, Theo's finish putting us on level terms and re-creating the optimism we all felt before kick-off. Despite much possession and probing we lacked that important cutting edge however, and it proved extremely costly on the day.
At this, the business end of the season, we simply cannot afford to dwell on the defeat no matter how disappointing it is. Our seven match winning streak included some very difficult fixtures on paper. We've done it once, we can do it again.
Game one sees us take on Man City, a team still challenging for the title. Back in December we were extremely unlucky not to take at least a point from the corresponding fixture. It's three we want this time round of course.
Come on you red and white machine!

Creative Play Quick Tip: Water Balloon Group Fun
May 30, 2012 at 8:00 am melissaanddoug Leave a comment
|Need a simple group play idea that won't cost a fortune but will bring a million laughs? Keep a bag of balloons on hand. The key to long toss-and-catch games is underfilling the water balloons! Keep them small, only filling them until they begin to expand, and you'll have a group of happy kids playing for hours! Some games to play? There's the classic water balloon toss, of course, but why not try playing one-handed catch? Water balloons also make for exciting target games—draw a target on a tree with chalk and let 'er rip! What other games do you play with water balloons? Tell us on Facebook today!
Visit our blog every day for great new ideas about creative play! At Melissa & Doug, we see endless possibilities in every educational toy, and we're committed to sharing the fun with you. Sign up to receive our blog posts in your email inbox and tune in to learn about new toys, hear from our Blog Ambassadors, and explore a world of imagination and learning.

Let me start by saying I dont have any access to a scanner right now, but I have some cool sketches that I can post here soon.....
I just recently rediscovered my love for this Star Wars character that I thought I forgot about like 8 years ago....I dont have the time or money to build a replica Fett costume (as much as i wish I did), but I do have a bunch of more modern and some vintage tactical and war gear. I started thinking...what if I combined a Fett Helmet and some Fett-esque armor and gear with a little bit more modernized suit and accessories? Almost like a mix between a modern Special Forces Soldier and a Mandalorian Warrior. I wouldnt ever blaspheme the Fett by wearing this at some convention or anything like that, but it would just be a fun costume to wear at Halloween or something.....This is hard to describe without the preliminary pictures that I have, but heres the basics to what I'm thinking:
-The Boba Fett helmet would not change, except for maybe removal of the RangeFinder, since it would look sort of odd in this setup. I would likely paint the helmet a mix of black and steel-gray, with some red accents.
-The under-suit/jumpsuit/whatever its called would be some sort of black flight suit, similar to the original film one, only much darker in color.
-I would ditch the jet-pack (classic Fett, I know, but again pretty out of place with my idea here) and maybe replace it with some sort of utility backpack or maybe nothing at all in place of it.
-the chest and shoulder armor would be a little more modernized, AKA maybe a black kevlar-ish chest protector with reinforced panels that are similar in pattern to the unique Fett shaped armor from the films. I would probably ditch the shoulder armor altogether, I was thinking of putting patches sewn on the shoulders instead (with that Mandalorian skull design thing) <----I've forgotten what thats called, I've lost some geek-hood I guess :) I would also put the circle-diagonal slash insignia (again, whatever that thing may actually be called I dont know) on the chest, in keeping with its placement in the films.
-The gloves would remain pretty much unchanged, only black in color rather than gray.
-I would likely ditch the wrist gauntlets, since theres no "real world" equivalent of those that I can think of, well nothing that wouldnt look out of place at least....
-The utility belt setup and pouches would be almost the same as the originals, only black instead of brown, in keeping with the rest of the color scheme. I dont know what is actually in Fetts pouches in the Star Wars universe, but on my utility belt I would probably include: A Flashlight, Handcuffs, Spare Ammo pouches, maybe a knife, and some other small assorted pouches. (Again, this stuff would just serve to "present-day" up the costume. I guess I'm trying to imagine a modern day bounty hunter/mercenary/commando type thing here, only with some Fett-ish elements to it.
-I would keep the shoulder cape, just because it looks awesome and he would look naked without it. I think I'd lose the wookie scalps though....
-I would keep the knee pads, only they would be black instead of yellow.
-The boots would be similar to the film ones.
-Now, the weapons....this is where I wasnt sure what direction to go....
Obviously, Im going for the modernized mercenary look, so I figured I would modernize his selection of weaponry as well. What would a typical "assassin" have in his arsenal? Well, I would venture to guess it would be a mixture of lethal and non-lethal weapons. I would probably go for a dual-holster setup (on the thighs) a la Jango Fett. Instead of laser pistols though, I would probably use a regular styled handgun in one, and a tranquilizer pistol in the other (they dont always want 'em dead right?) I would replace his blaster rifle with some sort of compact carbine/submachine gun. I would also have a silencer of some sort on one of the guns, an assassin has to have a silencer right?
haha well I just sat back and read all of this and my idea seems kind of silly, so I'm sure you guys will think Im nuts, but I think it would be a fun little experiment to kill some time with. I love to paint and draw, and Im already having alot of fun doodling with my ideas. I have a new found interest in the whole Boba Fett thing, and this might just be a good way for me to take my mind off college when it gets to me:)
Let me know what you guys think! And remember, its just for fun and for my own entertainment, so dont make fun of me too much ;)

Re: Werewolf Astronaut
Happy Wootaversary to you too, fishbiscuit. Nice Threadless design, btw! (5'd) ^_^
SkekTek, hey thanks, I was hoping for a little more fog time too but it was not to be. Hey, do you mean where's the -Earth-? I had it in the finished designs (top and central) but it seemed to distract from the action rather than help it. I'm trying to get better at editing. :p

@meh3884 - Aw gee! I wouldn't call this one of my super artistic designs, but nice of you to say! I tried a different line style than usual though, so it's nice that it is liked. Thanks meh3884: )
@kbloomq1 - Oh really? I did read about it some more, but I didn't notice the debate receding. Good to know! Thanks kbloomq

Re: It's Something odd about that guy
shows promise, but I'd like to see a larger image b4 I cast my vote
Re: Duck, Duck, GOOSE!
In my experience, it was the kids who got picked on that were the "geese" in that game. It gave the cool kids an opportunity to shove, punch and/or just prove they're better by beating the person back to their spot. Unfortunately I was on the recieving end of that. But look! I made a shirt out of it!
Four colors on baby blue. Thanks for looking!
Re: The Happy Floopy Poopies and Gary

Re: The Bus Stop
I love the way the bricks in the background look like they've been drawn on with crayon! Awesome textures, overall. -:]
I have to confess: this one actually made me go "D'AAAAW." He just wants his little sandwich!! -:O I dig it.
Poor Gary... He should be on a talk show.

*sigh* sorry... couldn't resist...
Re: If Wishes Were Shurikens
This is an amazing style!
This is adorable and I love it. One of the few "adorable" shirts I would totally wear.
Re: AHH it's a mutant!
this kind of looks exactly the same as his entry last derby
Re: happiness
Like the illo, but why white? I despise white shirts. Guess that makes me a shirtist.
Nooooo! You're not allowed to knock yourself out of the fog!!
Fantastic, gmv!
Re: One Of These Things Is Not Like The Others
ummm, I don't mean to be critical, but how would you be able to see the eyes on the shadows? (though obviously I'm being dumb, because clearly the middle sheep's shadow wouldn't look like a wolf) :-/
I giggle every time I read the title.
PS: I think Gary is why I need more fiber.

He's not "Rollin' with the punches" he's intentionally provoking his critics because he knows we can't do anything about it and he'll STILL keep winning derbies because he's still got his herd.
I'll take 3! Love this design! Good luck!

Cuckoo Science
As we explain in our glossary item, climatologists use the concept of radiative forcing and climate sensitivity because it provides a very robust predictive tool for knowing what model results will be, given a change of forcing. The climate sensitivity is an output of complex models (it is not decided ahead of time) and it doesn't help as much with the details of the response (i.e. regional patterns or changes in variance), but it's still quite useful for many broad brush responses. Empirically, we know that for a particular model, once you know its climate sensitivity you can easily predict how much it will warm or cool if you change one of the forcings (like CO2 or solar). We also know that the best definition of the forcing is the change in flux at the tropopause, and that the most predictable diagnostic is the global mean surface temperature anomaly. Thus it is natural to look at the real world and see whether there is evidence that it behaves in the same way (and it appears to, since model hindcasts of past changes match observations very well).
So for our next trick, try dividing energy fluxes at the surface by temperature changes at the surface. As is obvious, this isn't the same as the definition of climate sensitivity – it is in fact the same as the black body (no feedback case) discussed above – and so, again it's no surprise when the numbers come up as similar to the black body case.
But we are still not done! The next thing to conviently forget is that climate sensitivity is an equilibrium concept. It tells you the temperature that you get to eventually. In a transient situation (such as we have at present), there is a lag related to the slow warm up of the oceans, which implies that the temperature takes a number of decades to catch up with the forcings. This lag is associated with the planetary energy imbalance and the rise in ocean heat content. If you don't take that into account it will always make the observed 'sensitivity' smaller than it should be. Therefore if you take the observed warming (0.6°C) and divide by the estimated total forcings (~1.6 +/- 1W/m2) you get a number that is roughly half the one expected. You can even go one better – if you ignore the fact that there are negative forcings in the system as well (cheifly aerosols and land use changes), the forcing from all the warming effects is larger still (~2.6 W/m2), and so the implied sensitivity even smaller! Of course, you could take the imbalance (~0.33 +/- 0.23 W/m2 in a recent paper) into account and use the total net forcing, but that would give you something that includes 3°C for 2xCO2 in the error bars, and that wouldn't be useful, would it?
And finally, you can completely contradict all your prior working by implying that all the warming is due to solar forcing. Why is this contradictory? Because all of the above tricks work for solar forcings as well as greenhouse gas forcings. Either there are important feedbacks or there aren't. You can't have them for solar and not for greenhouse gases. Our best estimates of solar are that it is about 10 to 15% the magnitude of the greenhouse gas forcing over the 20th Century. Even if that is wrong by a factor of 2 (which is conceivable), it's still less than half of the GHG changes. And of course, when you look at the last 50 years, there are no trends in solar forcing at all. Maybe it's best not to mention that.
There you have it. The cuckoo has come in and displaced the whole field of climate science. Impressive, yes? Errrr…. not really.
Update: The Guardian and Cosmic Variance pick up on this.

Posted by Tom Grant on May 6, 2011
During my research for the just-published document "For Developers, Dog Food And Champagne Can't Be The Only Items On The Menu," I had an interesting conversation with the team at Adobe that handles internal pilots, which in their case entails more than just putting the next version of an Adobe product on the network for people to try. Instead of the typical "spaghetti against the wall" approach to "eating your own dog food" (to mix food metaphors), the Adobe team actively looks for use cases that fit the product. If a product like Flex or Photoshop is a tool, then it should be the right tool for some job. (And if you can't find any use for the software, you're definitely in trouble.)
This approach might require additional work above the "spaghetti against the wall" approach, but it definitely has dividends for many different groups. The product team identifies functionality gaps or usability flaws. Marketers and salespeople have a much easier time figuring out what to demo. As a result, Adobe runs a better chance of both building technology that's compelling, and then explaining what's compelling about it to potential customers.

Macaroni and Potato Salad
Combine two classics to make a delicious summer salad. This dish is best served immediately, while the bacon is still warm.
- Servings: 8
Source: Martha Stewart Living, June 1997
- 3 large all-purpose potatoes, (2 pounds), peeled and cut into 3/4-inch cubes
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more for cooking water
- 2 cups sugar-snap peas, (6 ounces)
- 1/4 pound elbow macaroni, cooked al dente and drained
- 1 pound sliced bacon
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons Homemade Mayonnaise, or prepared
- 3 tablespoons sour cream
- 1 1/2 tablespoons cider vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup loosely packed fresh mint leaves, torn into pieces
Place potatoes in a small stockpot, and cover with cold salted water. Place over high heat, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium high, and gently boil the potatoes until fork-tender, about 7 minutes. Drain in a colander, and set aside in a large bowl to cool.
Fill a small saucepan with salted water, and bring to a boil. Add the snap peas, and cook until bright green, about 30 seconds. Drain, and transfer peas to a bowl of ice water until cool. Drain again, slice peapods in half crosswise diagonally, and add to potatoes along with cooked macaroni.
In a large skillet, cook bacon until all the fat is rendered out and bacon is very crisp. Remove bacon from skillet, and set aside to drain on paper towels. When bacon is cool, crumble, and add three-quarters of it to potato mixture; set aside remaining bacon.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper. Pour the dressing over potato mixture, add mint, and toss to combine. Transfer macaroni-and-potato salad to a serving dish, sprinkle top with remaining bacon, and serve immediately, or cover and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

I am bored in the south zone waiting for the weekend, I have always been curious about band recovery and we all know we cherish them as prizes. Thought it would be fun to see what and where MN hunters have shot and where the birds were banded.
I'll Start-
First band was a BW teal I shot in Windom MN when I was about 14 (1994) it was so small I carried it everywhere until I lost it with out calling in, so disappointed to this day. I actually thout it was banded in Laurel MD until I realized all the bands have the DNR headquarters on them. Lol
2005- Big Stone County - Drake Mallard - Banded in 2003 near Fergus Falls
2006- Windom MN - Drake Woodduck - Banded in northern Iowa earlier that year. Shot on opener, thought that was curious.
Drought ever since.....

The tranny may not be on the way out yet. The cable system is more important than most guys realize.
Keep on it or else it will go out and if you rebuild it and there is a problem with your cable set up it will fry again.
I dropped my pan and found the problem before I lost a second tranny. It wasn't burying the plunger on the valve. It may not be your problem, but who knows, it could be too.
Do you have the correct bellcrank?
What carb is on the motor?
Crazy but true that only the governor can control shift points. Not the cable.
Yeah it seems to be reving a little when I am on the gas a little more. As long as I a easy on the throttle its fine.
As far a the tv cable it seems like the later and the more the motor is reved up the more positive the shift. LIke when it goes into 3rd at 48. I don't know. I hate to go to a transmission shop and confer with them. Over the years I have had an experience with three different shops where I live and two of the experiences were bad so I want to try and do all I can.
As far as the way it is shifting now, when it shifts to 3rd at a little heavy throttle and the motor seems to rev up a little I guess if the trans is going out it will continue to get worse.
It just seems odd that with the cable I can' only adjust it to shift at 14 and 27 and 27 and 48. Thanks for the help. I appreciate it.
You can get one here, item 43 just past half page: 700R4, TransmissionHead.com the Ultimate 700R4 Performance Website, 700R4 Raptor or google: superior 700r4 governor kit.
You'll need a large screwdriver and a hammer to get the cap off. A new rubber seal will also be req'd. If the cap is rusted tite, you may bugger the whole cap taking it off as well. Make sure you really want to go there before you begin.
If its revving from 2 to 3, the cable is still out of whack or your tranny is on the way out. Seeing that your fluid is nice and clean is a good sign though. It should shift nicely, always.
It is an aftermarket cable. My gas pedal doesn't actually open the throttle all the way up, which I never do anyway but like I said I did open it by hand all the way to set the tv cable. When I have the throttle all the way open I have the cable pulled as far as it will go. I may drop the pan and do what you said. I tired to ge the cap off the governor to look at it but I can't get it off. I read somewhere there is a clip that holds it on but I dont see one. Any ideas on this. Also where do you get a calibration kit if I should need one.
I took the car out yesterday and I just realized that I have been running it with the shift in OD instead of drive. I put it in drive started off and I felt it shift from first to second and second to third but it didn't shift again. Should it just go to third while it is in drive. I can manually reach down and shift it to overdrive and if I am going 52 to 52 if feels like it locks up in fourth. If I get less than 52 or so it act like it shift back and foruth between 3rd and 4th. I have to get to 55 or so before it will stay locked up. I would just like to know if it is supposed to go in fourth while the indicator is in drive.
Seems like right now I am at about tha same shifting points from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd as you are.
I don't think the transmission is fried but don't know for sure. What will it do if it is fried. The fluid is good and red and doesn't smell so I don't know.
When I first put the cable on it was shifting from 1st to 2nd at about 27 with a really good positive shift and from2nd to 3rd at about 48 or 49 with a good positive shift. This seemd way to high to me so I started adjusting on the cable and have what I have now. Sometime when I am in the gas a little more than normal it feels good from 1st to 2nd but from 2nd to 3rd I can feel the motor rev up a little like it might be slipping but I don't know. Hopefully I can get it sraight. Thanks for the help.
Besides the WOT TV cable setting, the geometry of the carb linkage is also important and is sometimes overlooked. The geometry is what says how far the cable is pulled at any particular throttle setting, below wide open. Be sure it's right. Details are below.
Links to info here.
Good luck.
I have this transmission installed in my 1976 Sprint. The shift points are 14mph 1st to 2nd. 26 mph 2nd to 3rd. 40 mph is 3rd to 4th shift. If I slow to 38 mph it will go back to 3rd gear. When I first put in in the Sprint it did not want to go into 4th(overdrive). I took it to the shop I bought the transmission from and the owner pulled the cable out as far as he could three or four times quickly. He said that sometimes the pressure valve hangs up a bit and causes the no overdrive. Anyway after he did that the trans works great.
BTW you can shift it manually and hold it in any of the three gears for as long as you want.
Did you use an aftermarket cable?
I used one once that couldn't pull all the way out and it only "felt" like it was at full pull but it wasn't. Did you check if your gas pedal is pulling back the throttle back all the way? If you drop the pan, you can be 100% sure, if when the throttle is wide open by checking that the bellcrank is plunging the throttle valve in all the way. This is how I discovered my problem.
Shift points can be adjusted by picking up a govenor calibration kit. It comes with springs and weights to get the shifts where you want them to a degree.
Hopefully your tranny is not yet fried. If the PO was also driving around without the TV cable hooked up, it may be cooked already. It doesn't take long.
700r4 not shifting right
Just bought a rat rod with a 700r4 in it. When I left the guys house I didn't think it was ever going to shift but it finally did. I got to checking and reading some about the r4 and found he didn't have the tv cable hooked up. The truck has a 305 cu. in with a edelbrock carb. I ordered the kit from tci with the carb linkage and a new tv cable and installed it.
I have been adjusting on the cable and what I am getting is a shift from 1st to 2nd at 15mph and from sn to 3rd at about 26mph. It hadn't been doing any more shifting until yesterday. I was going along around 50 and it went into overdrive. After it started doing that sometimes if felt like it was shifting back and forth from 3rd to overdrive.
I adjusted the tv cable with the throttle wide open and the cable pulled tight at wide open throttle.
If I have the tv cable pretty well adjusted right and it still doesn't go from 2,3 and to 4th like it should is there anything I can check?
Also what speeds should it shift. 1st to 2nd
2nd to 3rd
3rd to 4th
Like I say it has never shifted past 3rd until yesterday. Any advice would be apreciated.

LV Review-Journal publisher takes a cheap shot at Reid's health
In a blog post headlined "Is Sen. Reid physically up to the job?" Las Vegas Review-Journal publisher Sherman Frederick compiled a devastating case [1] to support his assertion that "something's wrong with Sen. Harry Reid." For example, did you know that during a recent debate, Reid "mixed up the Department of Energy with the Department of Education"? And what happened when "Sharron Angle told him to 'man-up' " in that same debate? Reid "had no retort," according to Frederick. (I'd suggest it's possible that Reid had "no retort" because he didn't expect to be told to "man up" during a campaign debate for a seat in the United States Senate, rather than, say, during a pickup basketball game.)
When you're talking about a public figure whose words are catalogued almost constantly by the press, it's not difficult to pick out instances of misspeaking. It seems pretty low to turn Reid's misstatements into evidence that there's something "wrong" with him, especially considering that Frederick's blog post pivots [1] on the mini-stroke that Reid had more than five years ago.
Frederick didn't limit his attack on Reid's fitness for office to misstatements -- ridiculous right-wing talking points came into play, too.
In his post, Frederick wrote that Reid said "loosing [sic] 36,000 jobs in a week was 'really good.' " This is a reference to a statement Reid made on the Senate floor in March, and that's not at all what Reid was saying, as anybody who bothered to look into it would have found out.
Reid was saying that it was "good" news that unemployment and job losses were lower than economists had expected -- and he was talking about the entire month of February, not a single week, for the record.
Here's what Reid actually said in his March 5 floor speech:
REID: Unemployment compensation -- today is a big day in America. Only 36,000 people lost their jobs today, which is really good. Unemployment rate around America has not changed. Prognosticators thought it would go up; it has not. So, we need to extend -- there are about 15 million people in America out of work. These extended unemployment benefits will help millions of those people.
Indeed, the job-loss figures were lower [2] than had been predicted, and several economists expressed [2] the same sentiment that Reid did.
The ostensible news peg for Frederick's attack was an appearance by Reid on MSNBC's The Ed Show on Thursday. Here's Frederick:
Now he utters this on a political TV show:
'But for me we'd be in a world-wide depression".
What? This is only days before the election of his life. He brags that he personally saved the world from depression.
Where did he think he was -- the Stephen Colbert show?
In this case, that is the gist of what Reid said. But while Frederick seems to dismiss this possibility out of hand, there is broad agreement [3] among economists that legislation that passed the Senate under Reid's leadership was responsible for averting a far deeper economic collapse than the one we experienced.
If you're a regular reader of Frederick's columns and blog posts, this cheap shot at Reid won't come as a surprise. As Media Matters has documented, the Review-Journal has become a dumping ground [4] for conservative misinformation under Frederick.

1st - Passat SE 2.5 - (MT loves interior and most fun to drive despite worst engine and slowest)Ferrari may get all the fan mail and sell countless bedroom wall posters, but in the 66 years since its founding, the Italian automaker has sold just 130,000 cars. Total. Worldwide. Ever. Toyota, in comparison, sells roughly that many Camrys in the U.S. every five months. Honda's Accord and Nissan's Altima are close behind.
Make no mistake: The humble sedans you see here may have to endure morning gridlock, Labrador fur, and the occasional wayward French fry, but they're the power players of America's auto landscape. Indeed, data sifter Experian Automotive says this mid-range class accounted for a whopping 27.4 percent of the U.S. auto market in the first half of 2012. (Crossovers were a distant second, at just over 19 percent.) While the spotlight-hungry 458 Italia is out there screaming and preening and generally looking as restless as Honey Boo Boo in a library, these four-doors are stoically squaring away the driving chores and eking maximum miles from every precious gallon of gas. Average Joes? Nah. They're heroes.

2nd - Honda Accord EX-L 2.4 - (tied for best power, hates interior, not fun to drive)
3rd- Ford Fusion SE 1.6 ecoboost (MT loves the turbo, loves the exterior, hates interior & mediocre MPGs)
4th- Nissan Altima SV 2.5 (best MPGs tied for best power, MT still doesn't like the CVT)
5th- Toyota Camry XLE 2.5 (MT hated the interior)
6th - Chevy Malibu 2.5 LTZ (Shame on GM)
Anyways - My own take is Nissan deserves the crown. After starting this article talking about how bread & butter family sedans are so important and deserve notice MT tosses out all of the important metrics and puts focus on simple German interiors and driving dynamics.
Passat is the clear fun to drive German car, Altima is the best family car IMHO

NOTEBOOK: Balance, Unselfishness Helped Post Win Over NDSU
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - The Green Bay men's basketball returned home on Saturday after a challenging road trip and in need of some kind rims and a big win over a streaking opponent with a stingy defense. The team was shooting just 22.6 percent from long range, a number that in part help keep the team's assist numbers down to just 12 per game.
In its 74-59 win over visiting North Dakota State, those numbers were reversed against a Bison team that came in allowing just 56.8 points per game. The opening possession ended with a Brennan Cougill (Sioux City, Iowa) three-pointer off a pass from Sultan Muhammad and Green Bay was on its way to a wire-to-wire win. Nineteen assists and eight three-pointers later, the Phoenix had shot over 50 percent (9-17) from long range and placed five players in double figures.
"We beat a very good, very well coached team tonight," said head coach Brian Wardle after the game. "We had more legs under us today and we shot the ball better because of it. We moved the ball really well on offense, with great reversals and getting the ball from side to side and inside out. It was a good team win."
In his first career start, Muhammad knocked down 4-of-6 three-pointers en route to 13 points and junior Kam Cerroni (Sussex, Wis.) made 3-of-5 from long range and chipped in 12 points.
Sophomore Keifer Sykes (Chicago, Ill.) tallied four assists in the contest and led the five double-figure scorers with a game-high 21 points. Proving his ability to create his own shot, Sykes made all four of the team's unassisted field goals as Green Bay had helpers on 20 of 24 made field goals.
"It was a quiet 21 and I said that in the locker room, but that is what you want in a point guard," said Wardle. "With really good point guards you get quiet points. Keifer picked his spots and attacked when he needed to and pulled it back when he needed to. He was a good floor general out there."
With five coming from Cougill, the team's leader in assists, Green Bay got 12 assists from its starting frontline. Junior Alec Brown (Winona, Minn.) had a career-high four assists while freshman Jordan Fouse (Racine, Wis.) added three. Cougill (12) and Brown (10) were the fourth and fifth Phoenix scorers in double digits.
It was the first time Green Bay had placed five players in double figures since Feb. 12, 2012 at Detroit and the last time the team handed out 20 assists since Dec. 31, 2011 at Valparaiso.
Green Bay returns to the road to start a three-game swing on Saturday at Virginia, playing the Tony Bennett-led Cavaliers at 3 p.m. CT in a game televised by Fox Sports. Bennett, a Phoenix Hall of Famer, played for Green Bay from 1988-92 and is still the program's all-time leading scorer.

"I'm extremely happy with the final product and the service Tiny Prints provided. My cards arrived extremely quickly and I love them!"
"Beautiful card and I'm always impressed with the turn around time of Tiny Prints. So wonderful for a busy mother who is running behind on birthday planning"
"Loved my daughters 1st bday invites. The designs provided were excellent. I appreciated the sophisticated yet whimsical choices. As always, the print & paper quality was top of the line. Lastly, love that you provide a designer review! We will not shop anywhere else."
"Ordered these for our daughters first birthday. They came earlier than expected! They are absolutely adorable. High quality paper and print. They could be mistaken for a boutique quality or high end "custom" invites. I am very picky so ordering these without seeing and feeling them made me nervous but for the price I decided to take a risk. WELL WORTH IT. If you like the design and are hesitating like I was, DONT be! :-) Just order them --you won't be disappointed."
"Elegant design and details (colors, font) are perfect for our grandbaby's annoucement party - Red Egg & Ginger Chinese tradition. Heavy card stock too. I made an event date error and they are correcting it at no additional cost to me. Lucky I ordered early which allowed time for the fix. Only comment was that I wished they had a "red" envelope option which would have completed the theme for the party invites."

I'm trying to work towards teaching English in Japan. As far as I've gotten I understand I need a B.A. Degree to get a working visa, the average starter wage is 250,000yen, and rent is normally 65,000yen-80,000yen.
Right now I'm fresh out of high school and looking into this. I've always been interested in Japan. Though to teach I need a degree and to get a degree I'll need to take out student loans. On the ESL teachers salary in Japan would I be able to get by, and pay off student loans? (Is there any possibility of saving a little money each month too?)

Re: Replacing Fuel Tank in E32
We replaced our tank last year- It was fun... I have a bunch of pics that I will post a link to in the next few days- have been meaning to do this for awhile now... in the meantime here's a couple-
The parquet does come off pretty easily. We found that parts of it were screwed down (look for the plugs). On ours there was a .0125" luan (or similar marine grade) sub-floor; then the fiberglass. We put masking tape over the parquet "tiles" before lifting them to help keep them together for putting them back- it helped; but it was still a puzzle getting them back in (and glued down).
Technically we still need to finish/re-finish the floor as we have some missing trim pieces, etc-
Like I said I will get some addl pics posted asap...
Re: Replacing Fuel Tank in E32
I would bet the floor section that was removed previously is supported by wood blocks on each side that are screwed into the adjacent framing, as that is how I found minde when I bought it. You can use a mirror and flashlight to look under the floor to see how yours is attached.
Re: Replacing Fuel Tank in E32
Hi - I am about to undertake replacing the fuel tank in my newly acquired 1981 E32. It looks like this was done once before, cut lines filled in with varnish running from the aft floor hatch to the engine compartment. Can anyone shed some light on the best way to take up the teak parquet without destroying it? I am guessing the parquet has to come off first giving access to however the fiberglass floor section was reattached - screws I hope! Any hints or suggestions on how to attack this would be appreciated.

Re: Replacing Fuel Tank in E32
Hey there, Andy!
Well... The newly manufactured Florida Marine Tank (original mfg) arrived last week- and I am awaiting final install as I write this.... In the meantime we have been busy taking down walls and ceiling panels, re-bedding the bowsprit, winches, and other leaky items...replacing the cabin lights with LED's, and other "stuff"...
I am hoping to get her in the water in the next week or so and have hopefully 2 full months with her this season....
Oh yeah- we have new cushions just waiting to be installed...
I will post pics once we get her in the water...
Hope you are well and sounds like 7 years is a ripe old age for a battery- (which is one of the last things I need to buy...)
Re: Replacing Fuel Tank in E32
How is the tank replacement project coming, Andy?
I've been away from my boat for about a month and came back to dead dead batteries. Dadgummit. They were about 7 years old, though, so it's a good time to replace them and get the solar charging setup I've been procrastinating......once it cools back down a bit.
Re: Replacing Fuel Tank in E32
I heard from a few folks with great suggestions including Roger Long- his fuel tank and polishing system on Strider is simply amazing-
We have decided to go with the original mfg- Florida Marine Tanks- It will mean waiting until end of July for the tank; but it will be the right tank for the boat...which in the end will be best for our peace of mind, resale, etc.
It sure does bite delaying our getting her on the water, but at least we're getting out sailing on friends' boats-
...Now there are those ports, hatches, chain plates and stanchions that need re-bedding, interior trim tweaks, locker painting, cabin lighting, various nick and scratch repair, painting the bilge & engine bay; mast paint and re-wire.....and, and, and....
Re: Replacing Fuel Tank in E32
Hey Andy - what a dilemma.......I know the feeling of wanting to go sailing now! vs. waiting for parts, and it bites! It is hard to imagine there being a big difference in how stable the Plan B tank would be once it was installed, and if there is only a 2 gallon difference in the capacity of the tank, why not opt for the more immediate solution? Even if you end up carrying a 2 gal jerry can "just in case" I doubt you'll ever notice the difference in tank capacity.
Just my two cents.
Awesome job with the illustrations, too.
Let us know which way you decide to go.
Re: Replacing Fuel Tank in E32
Hi Everyone-
Our original plan hit a bit of a snag. It turns out the keel/bilge area was not as wide on the bottom of the aft section as I thought (this was not apparent until the sole was cut and the old tank removed). The poly tank we intended to use will not fit in the space available.
I have located a nice 20gl tank that will fit in the space- and it's now part of our Plan B. I am hoping to get some feedback on this from the wise Sailnet community.
While the tank will fit in the space- it is not designed to fit "in" the space. Mounting, weight distribution, etc- are somewhat of a concern- although I think in the bigger scheme of things perhaps not a major concern as long as it's mounted "correctly". (We would be having the local marina do this).
We would like to get the boat in the water sooner rather than later- and I can get the replacement tank installed probably within a week- versus more like 5-7 weeks to wait for and have the fabricated tank installed... Having said that, we do want to do it right... just don't know if our "Plan B" is wrong...
Please take a look and let me know what you think. Plan B, or Plan C?
Re: Replacing Fuel Tank in E32
Well the good news is we've finally gotten our E32 closer to home so we can spend time working on her.
Here's our general plan for replacing the tank. The first picture is a bit skewed but you get the idea. We're having a marina do much of the install- We'll mostly be dealing with putting the sole back in after the repair, bilge cleaning/painting, etc- We're only losing 3 gallons of capacity- which for the price ($150 on Amazon...) is pretty decent.
E32 Tank Replacement Plan
Actually getting her in the water and sailing her before July would be nice....
Re: Replacing Fuel Tank in E32
I also have the fuel tank located aft of the engine on the port side. I find that with a full tank of fuel I get a port side list. It's even worse when I have been too lazy to empty the holding tank until last minute.
I have moved my house batteries to the space under the sole. I imagine I still have enough room down there to put a flexible fuel tank forward of the batteries. It would be nice to get that 200 lb lower and more forward.

It's time to reveal the Gunners' Greatest 50 Goals - as voted for by Arsenal's fans.
Patrick Vieira brings up the halfway point in our countdown with a strike that perhaps deserves a higher placing.
Again, it's the argument of what exactly makes a goal great. Is it the importance of the goal or the sheer quality of the finish?
This effort was the third goal in a rather routine home win over Newcastle as the Gunners closed in on a league and cup double in 1998. But the aesthetic beauty of the goal makes it stick in the memory.

Marc Overmars started the move with an interception just inside Newcastle's half. The Dutchman rolled the ball forward to Nicolas Anelka who laid it off to Vieira just outside the centre circle.
The talismanic Frenchman strode towards goal and, with nobody closing him down, he decided to let fly from all of 35 yards.
The searing drive nestled in Shay Given's top right-hand corner like a French Exocet.
It was a strike that typified the young midfielder at the time. Powerful, fearless and all-conquering.

In this podcast, I speak to Martin Blaser, Frederick H. King Professor of Internal Medicine and Chairman of the Department of Medicine and Professor of Microbiology at the New York School of Medicine.
Blaser studies Helicobacter pylori, bacteria that live in the stomachs of billions of people. Blaser has shown that H. pylori has a strange double life inside of us. On the one hand, it can cause ulcers and gastric cancer. On the other hand, it can protect us from diseases of the esophagus, allergies, asthma, and perhaps even obesity.
We're now eradicating H. pylori with antibiotics and other luxuries of modern life; Blaser thinks we ought to bring it back--but keep it on a tight leash.

Run your tongue over your teeth. If it's been a while since you last brushed, you may feel a filmy or fuzzy coating on your teeth. What's there is similar to the slimy coating you might feel if you stuck your finger down into a sink drain or that you might see coating the sides and bottom of a swimming pool that hasn't been kept clean. These are all examples of biofilms.
Biofilms are communities of microbes. They form when bacterial cells able to make large amounts of sticky, slimy substances called polysaccharides (polly-sack-uh-rides) attach themselves to a surface. The slimy coating they make holds the cells to the surface they've settled on and captures other bacteria who live and grow off the waste products produced by the first bacteria. Layers keep being added, creating a complex community.
In this activity, you'll explore whether biofilms can form on all possible surfaces and which they grow best on. You'll also learn something about how we can prevent biofilm formation.
When was the last time you washed your hands? Did you use soap? What have you done since you washed? Have you eaten, put your fingers in your mouth or touched someone else?
Observations in public restrooms have revealed that only about 68 percent of Americans wash up before leaving. Yet thorough hand washing is one of the best ways to prevent the spread of infections. There are millions of microbes on your hands. Most are naturally occurring and harmless. But some may be disease-causing germs. Hand washing with soap lifts off those microbes and rinses them away.
Maybe you've heard the term "biodegradable." It basically means something capable of being broken apart into simpler substances by natural biological processes.
But what are these biological processes that break some things down? Why do some things biodegrade more readily than others?
In this experiment, you'll investigate the biodegrading process of commercial packing peanuts. Print out these pages and follow the directions to do this experiment at home. When you're done, come back to this page to test your newfound knowledge by answering the questions below. (No fair peeking at the answers before you've done the activity!)
As you know, we keep food in refrigerators so it will last longer. But still, sometimes you open a bag of bread or a jar of spaghetti sauce and what do you find? Mold!!
Ever wonder exactly what mold is? And how did it get there? And why sometimes it's green and other times black or white? Did you know this stuff is alive and growing?
Think about the different places various kinds of plants and animal live. As you know, many, like penguins and cacti, can only live in certain places.
Now think about times you've dug a hole in the ground. Did you notice differences in the color of the soil layers? Did you wonder what causes those color differences?
Here's your chance to be an amateur microbiologist.
You don't have to have a scientific degree and wear a white lab coat to do these activities. All you have to do is be willing to muck around with dirt, paint, pondwater and other sometimes gooky stuff.
Most of the activities here use supplies you should be able to find easily in your home or a nearby store.
