Here are the gauntlets for my custom Mando I'm working on. Enjoy!
Wrist Rockets
Machine Gun Gauntlet
its nice to see gauntlets other then boba and jangos!
I wanted to post another pic of the machine gun gauntlet so that you can see where the bullets exit the chamber.
i would LOVE to make my own gauntlest..... how? i mean i got sintra... ok how? lots of bondo?
Great job! Those are very cool and very inspiring. For mine, I made the "clam shell" halves out of sintra and was pondering what to add on. You've definately given me ideas and inspiration. What did you use to attach the add ons?
Some progress photos...
Yes. Lots of bondo. I glue the pieces of sintra together and then bondo them up with my trusty popsickle sticks. I then use a dremel sanding drum to sand down the crevases. I smooth them down a little more with hand sanding. The brass pipe is two different sizes inside of one another and my friend drilled out the outside one with a drill press for the heat shield. The "keyboard" on the missile gauntlet is the innards of an old cell phone (circa 1996). I used 1/4" sintra for these gauntlets. It bends best in the oven at 300 degrees fahrenheit for about 1.5 minutes. The ammo clip for the machine gun gauntlet is from a toy machine gun I picked up at the dollar store. Any other questions?
i am goin for hacker gauntlet. Sugestions other then the R2 universal plug in? i need ideas for tyhe screen and any other little gagets (sp)
Good design. Interesting ideas. Nice Work.
Yes! Those are great. I love seeing someone do something different in regards to the gauntlets. Your custom will look even better because of it. Good job, love the gun gauntlet especially.
As for a plug in, consider a car stereo wiring harness or any other automotive connector under the hood or under the dash. You can pick up new ones at an auto parts store or junkyard.
For a display, I did a Google Image search a calculator w/a flip up display and found a bunch of them. Try a small one obviously. Here's a couple of pics to give you an idea of what I'm talking about.
Good luck and plz post pics! :)
school has halted most of my armor makeing, but i like the ideas!
i'm probably gona go with 3 screens, 3 launchers (via video or sound bugs) and instead of hoses comeing off the gaunt it will be wires!!
thanks for the ideas, will post probably in the spring but am trying to work when i have time... dam college

Geesh! So much for listening to the advice. The vultures are just interested in the "goods" ;)Anybody out there prefer the serrated knife to their electric plane? I call first dibs.... :-D
I too tried a number of different knives, electric and serrated and ended up finally snatching a fork off the table. The fork works great but leaves a bit more wax in the extractor. That how ever is no problem as I set the extractor outdoors on it's side with the bottom slightly elevated so the wax and little bit of honey drain toward the front. The bees clean it up real good in a few days and the left over cappings are so dry I can blow them out with a hose. I look over the great cleaning job I did and store the extractor for next year. No fuss no muss. X:X

'Drury only played three seasons in Buffalo (a fourth was lost to the lockout), but it sure seems like it was more than that. The two seasons immediately after the lockout comprise many of my fondest Buffalo sports memories. In a town that's known for its losing ways, Drury's Sabres — and make no mistake, it was his team — account for more good times than almost any other in the 28 years I've been watching these teams…'
Archives for August 2011
Tip of the cap goes to ex-Sabre Drury
Buffalo Sabres, Rochester Amerks could give us a happy hockey winter
'Dreams of a Stanley Cup/Calder Cup sweep will be dancing in many heads.'
Pegula's not backing off his stated goal for Sabres
'"If we come out of the chute 0-9 this year, everybody is going to be going skitzoid," Pegula said. "But you gotta believe you're not an 0-9 team, and it will get better. You can't have the Sword of Damocles hanging over the players, coaches and everybody's head. You have to stick with the team."'
Sabres Locker Room Update
Sabres must slash salary by season opener
'There are obvious cap casualties. It's widely believed winger Ales Kotalik ($3 million cap hit) and defenseman Shaone Morrisonn ($2.075) will be sent to the minors.'
Sabres need moves to get in the black
' The Sabres don't have to get below the cap until the season opener and can easily do it by stashing the $5 million-plus combined of Ales Kotalik and Shaone Morrisonn in Rochester, where their figures would not count against it.'
Ehrhoff will deal with pressure
'Ehrhoff spent a few days in Buffalo house-hunting with his wife and plans to return home today. He'll be back in Germany again in October, when the Sabres play an exhibition contest in Adler and then a regular-season game in Berlin against Los Angeles, something he wasn't aware of when he signed. "That was another bonus," Ehrhoff said. "I'm definitely very excited about that."'
Sabres national broadcast schedule announced
'In addition to their regular Monday and Tuesday night national broadcasts, VERSUS has added a "Game of the Week" telecast on Wednesday nights. Buffalo appears in the VERSUS "Game of the Week" a league-high seven times, two more than any other team. These games will be shown exclusively on VERSUS throughout the United States and will not be aired on MSG.'
Ehrhoff ready to be a money player
'"It doesn't really put that much more pressure on me," Ehrhoff insisted after he was introduced to the media Wednesday in HSBC Arena's Harbour Club. "I put enough pressure on myself. I want to be a big part of this franchise for many years to come."'
Sabres president expects minipack allotment to sell out
'Black also announced that single-game sales will begin on Sept. 17 and added this caveat – "We anticipate those will be sold out well before the start of the season."'
Ehr-rriving in Buffalo
'Ehrhoff said he was impressed with the Sabres while playing against them. "They got a great group of young players, 1 of the best goalies in the league for sure. We saw in the Cup Finals you need great goaltending to win and new ownership is committed."'
Sabres tickets won't be easy to get this season
'Team President Ted Black said, "We've already doubled the amount of mini packs we sold all of last year and we anticipate being sold out within the next couple weeks. We put 3500 mini packs on sale.'
Ehrhoff at home in Buffalo
'"Everybody had good things to say about the city of Buffalo being a great place to live with your kids and a good place for them to grow up – which was another criteria I was looking for. And since Terry (Pegula) took over the team he has showed that he is very committed to putting a team together that can win the Stanley Cup. For me it made a lot of sense and that's why I joined the team."'
Saturday's Rochester Coverage
Kent Weisbeck out as trainer of Rochester Amerks (Rochester D&C)
Sabres agree to terms with Gragnani
'Gragnani, however, figures to face major competition in training camp to get on the ice in the wake of the signings of newcomers Robyn Regehr and Christian Ehrhoff, the new multiyear deals given to Andrej Sekera and Mike Weber and the return of Leopold and Tyler Myers.'

Hello to everyone in the world and thanks, in advance, for a helpful hand. I am in my 50+ age and would like to spend the rest of my life traveling. Rather than spending money I would like to generate income while exploring the sights of the world, especially South America, Europe(Italy) and Eastern Europe.
I am looking at earning a CELTA certificate in the United States from Cambridge. I was told Celta has the best success for getting better jobs.
I realize everyone wants experienced teachers. I have three (3) college degrees, MBA in Business, but no degree in teaching other than a class in Educational Psychology I took as an elective.
I have already been told each employer makes its own rules. I have really become disheartened by reading some of the stories of people teaching abroad. I have questions below. Can anyone from tell me, in general, what my expectations should be and services provided:
*What is the difference between Celta, TESL and TESOL? I was told the Cambridge Celta has the most respected reputation.
*Living arrangements-do agreements usually come with private studios or is it a normally a dorm setting? I am a lifetime member of Hostels International;but, I am no longer a teenager.
*Hierarchy of the powers to be, conflict management, what to expect of the language centers abroad, and what will be expected of me?
*What should be my expectation of standard of living and how does one handle grievances after arriving to language centers abroad?
*Do agreements with employers abroad contain provisions for medical emergency treatments?
*Generally speaking are teachers paid by the hour or salary?
*Does any part of my earning go to retirement or am I solely responsible for retirement investments?
*Do agreements with employers abroad contain provisions for airfare and transportation costs?
*How does one get a teaching job abroad and how does one stay working after completing a job assignment?
*What about jobs in the USA?
*How long does CELTA certification last and would I need to take refresher courses to keep certification valid between work assignments?.
Thank you again for any help you might render me.

The Alliance for Innovation presented the city of Las Vegas with a 2013 Outstanding Achievement in Innovation Award for its aggressive Development Services Process (DSP) program, which increases both the quality and speed of development services.
The program has already paid off, according to Diane Santiago Cornier, the DSP's enterprise project manager, telling Government Technology about a 1,000-house subdivision now in the planning process. "We haven't seen that kind of activity in the last three years," she said.
According to Cornier, with or without the serious consequences of the recession, the DSP program was overdue. "Many of our business processes were severely broken," said Cornier. "Departments were still operating in silos the way they had for 20 years."
Aging technology and infrastructure, coupled with budget cuts that impacted staffing levels, were taking their toll. In addition, applicants had to obtain business licenses through the city's finance department, despite their close association with development services.
"Our goal was to combine services from across many separate divisions," said Patricia Dues, information technology manager of the DSP project. "The customer shouldn't need to ask where he needs to go. He should be able to walk in the door and have someone help him. It is a development services issue or initiative that he's there to see us about, and we're going to help him get through the process as simply as possible."
Cornier explained that the streamlined process allows staff to alert customers up front about complicating factors that could potentially delay their license -- such as entitlement issues or special conditions.
Another potential cause for delay was a dizzying amount of choices for customers -- a year and a half ago, Las Vegas had 450 license categories. So far, that number has been collapsed down to 319, and officials are optimistic that it will continue to decrease to less than 200 by the end of 2013. At the outset, many categories were very narrow, or similar to one another, leading to confusion.
"We've done a great deal of cleaning up there and have also changed many ordinances. All of this has streamlined the various processes and tightened their alignment with the planning, building safety and fire departments," Cornier explained.

• North Carolina (11-5, 1-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) returns to action after a week off and will look to square its ACC record at 2-2 this season when it hosts Maryland (14-3, 2-2 ACC) on Saturday at noon in the Smith Center.
• The game will be televised nationally by ESPN. Dave O'Brien (play-by-play) and Doris Burke (analyst) will have the call. It will also be available nationally on ESPN Radio. Marc Kestecher (play-by-play) and Jim Spanarkel (analyst) will be on the radio mic.
• The Tar Heels will play Saturday's game following a weeklong rest between contests. Last Satuday, Carolina beat Florida State 77-72 in Tallahassee.
• Maryland enters Saturday's game with a 14-3 record and a 2-2 mark in ACC play after 51-50 win on Wednesday night over No. 14 NC State in College Park. The Terrapins also have beaten Virginia Tech in conference play this season while losing to Miami and Florida State.
• Carolina went 3-0 against the Terrapins last season, winning in College Park and Chapel Hill during the regular season and in the ACC Tournament quarterfinals in Atlanta. The Tar Heels have won 10 of their last 14 against Maryland, including four in a row.
• The Tar Heels lead the all-time series with Maryland, 118-57. Carolina has won 10 of the last 14 in the series (including four in a row), last losing to the Terps on Feb. 7, 2010, in College Park.

• Carolina is 56-17 against Maryland in games played in Chapel Hill and 17-8 versus the Terrapins in the Smith Center. The Terps' eight wins in the Smith Center are more than any other UNC opponent except Duke (12).
• UNC has won six of its last seven home games against Maryland with wins in 2004, 2005, 2006, 2009, 2011 and 2012 seasons. The Terps won in Chapel Hill in 2008.
• Roy Williams is 10-5 versus Maryland as Carolina's head coach and 10-7 overall against the Terps. Williams went 0-2 against Maryland while serving as Kansas' head coach.
• Maryland's Mark Turgeon is in his second year as the Maryland head coach, but his connections with UNC head coach Roy Williams are longstanding.
• Turgeon played point guard at Kansas from 1984-87, when former Tar Heel Larry Brown was the Jayhawks' head coach. Turgeon graduated in '87 (prior to Williams' arrival as the Kansas head coach in the fall of 1988) but joined the Kansas coaching staff as an assistant under Brown for the 1987-88 season.
• When Brown left Kansas after the '88 NCAA championship, Kansas hired Williams as head coach and Turgeon joined his staff as an assistant. Turgeon served under Williams alongside Tar Heel assistant coach Steve Robinson for four seasons at Kansas (1988-89 season through the 1991-92 season).
• Williams is 3-0 as the Tar Heel head coach against Turgeon after beating Maryland three times last year.

Mr.L wrote:Mr. Reynolds, I know you can't control what the Corps does and you want the lake to be at its proper level of 29.5 ft. on opening morning of duck season. But I can't figure out why the Corps can't keep it at its proper level even with the manpower shortage. After all, aren't the gates of the diversion canal now controlled by an automated process at the Jonesville Lock and Dam? How hard is it to mash a button or control to slightly crack the gates to allow for inflow once water reaches 29.5 ft.? This would not require a daily monitoring. They shouldn't open gates and go off and leave it alone for an extended period of time.
Lreynolds wrote:In the last 3 weeks alone: "how are we going to get this water off the lake" to "where the hell is the water"?
I'm sick and tired of all the absolute BS conspiracy crap and accusations of some crazy agenda that I am supposedly up to regarding Catahoula Lake.
Mr.L wrote: Do you know if they are going to open up the gates at Archie to compensate for the dropped water level?
Original Duckster wrote:It seems that there is an attempt being made to deepen the channel between French Fork and the Canal by letting water in at Archie and flowing it out through the Canal. We all know how things have silted in south of French Fork the past few years. My question is who came up with a model that shows this will work? With the water level about 27.5'msl the flow is NOT concentrated in the channel! Instead the majority of of water will flow across the flats to the WNW of the channel. There will be little scouring taking place in the target area as there is not sufficient velocity or volume of water. Just my thoughts on the matter.
Original Duckster wrote:Larry, while I may question and speak my mind, never doubt that I don't respect the effort you put forth.
I was just told the "real" reason for the continued draw down! This has to be true as I heard it at a local gathering place for older gents to drink coffee and solve the worlds problems.
Lreynolds wrote:Mr.L wrote: Do you know if they are going to open up the gates at Archie to compensate for the dropped water level?
I left the office at 10:30 for a meeting in Vidalia and will be flying the NE Louisiana survey the next 2 days, but according to the last e-mail I got from Steve Smith, the canal structure is closed and Archie is open.
Jayhawker wrote:Piss on 29.5 I want it at 34 for opener. I've said it before. People cannot get to their blinds up in the trees. Flooding up will allow more people access to their blinds, the people in the middle will still be able to hunt and everybody will be happy. Don't give me any crap about flooding the feed too deep. If that was a concern they wouldn't be trying for 29.5. We don't give a dam if they can eat out there obviously, so flood deeper and please the locals. If it wasn't for us locals CAtahoula Lake wouldn't even exist. Did I mention my great paw paw hunted there and my great grandkids will hunt there if I have to die to make it happen.
Renolds, why don't you just flood it permanently, put in an overflow, and you'll never hear another complaint from us lake protectors again cause we'll always have water the same and nothing to complain about.

Original Duckster wrote:Jayhawker, are you Park and Toledo's sock? Just askin
Mr.L wrote:Toledo you can't compare Catahoula Lake to the flooded timber hunting along Mississippi River. On Catahoula Lake the most successful hunting takes place on the opening weekends of the first split and second split. If water level is not at the mark set by the Tri Party agreement many hunters cannot hunt. Six inches of water makes a big difference. Ducks do not come to Catahoula Lake ahead of cold fronts like they once use to in 70's and 80's. Years ago you could watch weather and if an approaching cold front was coming you could go hunting there and expect a good hunt. For some reason migration patterns have changed. If you can't hunt on opening morning now, you more than likely won't have many chances to have successful hunts during rest of season.

The Unied States of America is committed to the concept of an armed force which is based on volunteers filling its ranks. According to Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, the all-volunteer military is "worth the cost." But, Admiral Mullen, who chairs the Joint Chifs of Staff, indicated the continuous increase in personnel costs "does not bode well for a military of this size." Gates urged Congress to approve a "modest" increase in Tricare health care fees for woking age military retirees. Gates argues these individauls are in good health and are working so they should be able to absorb an increase in health cost which would result in freeing other money for military expenditures.
Senator Daneil Inouye pointed out that pay for active and reserve service members rose 32% and 47% respectively betwen 2000 and 2006 due to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. It now costs about $126,000 pr service member each year to provide pay, benefits and health care. 'Is the cost of maintaining an all-volunteer force becoming unsustainable?" he asked. In responding to the question, Gates pointed out a volunteer army requires more attention to taking care of families whether the soldier is deployed or not. "There is no question it is expensive," he said.
Admiral Mullen pinpointed the issue by raising the question as to whether the United States could afford the current sized armed force or would it have to reduce the size of the military at some future date. He suggested "I don't see us as a country being able to afford the kind of cost increase at the rate they've occurred over the last sveral years."
An important aspect of the Bush foreign policy is its impact on the concept of an all-volunteer armed force. Can the United States continue fighting all over the world without at some point introducing the concept of a draft?

Several months ago, General Peter Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told a Chicago newspaper, "I believe homosexual acts between two individuals are immoral and that the (US military) should not condone immoral acts." Yesterday, five days before stepping down from his role on the Joint Chiefs, General Pace turned around and stated his willingness to allow gays to serve in the military. "I would be very willing and able and supportive of any description, whatever change, to 'don't ask, don't tell, would continue to allow the homosexual community to contribute to the nation without condoning what I believe to be activity, whether it be heterosexual or homosexual that in my upbringing is not right."
Each person is allowed to maintain his/her personal beliefs about life, but when one puts on the uniform of the United States military, those beliefs can not interfere with the rights of other members of the military. It is comforting knowing that General Pace has changed his views and he should be respected for making that change.

text: It is certainly an exciting time to be involved with Delta Waterfowl. Delta is North America's oldest conservation organization, started back in 1911, but they are new when it comes to local chapters. Delta has been starting local chapters for about six years, and we would love to get some started in West Virginia. This is a great time to become a part of waterfowl history, and start a chapter in your area.

This event is shaping up to be the "Go To" Cadillac event of the year!!
Our blog has had hits from more than 14 different countries!!
Here's a little background info:
Henry M. Leland, inventor of both the Cadillac and Lincoln cars, is a native son of our fair town, Barton, VT. His family had a farm here for many years before they moved to MA. Many decendents are still living in the area.
The Orleans County Fair Association has a formal "Record Attempt Agreement" with Guinness for an attempt to break the existing record: A total of 102 Cadillac cars participated in a parade at the Cadillac Oldtimer Festival held in Leimuiderbrug, the Netherlands, on 18 August 2002.
Henry M. Leland was a remarkable man who made many significant contributions to this country, from the invention of the electric barber clippers to engines for airplanes during WW1. It is our hope to honor his memory and bring this record home to the United States, home to Vermont, back to the childhood home of Henry M. Leland, the Cadillac's inventor!
This record breaking event will be part of our Orleans County Fair held August 17th through the 21st. The Cadillac Parade Record Breaking Event be on Wednesday the 17th, as our fair opener.
Here's a link to the Newport Daily Express Story:
The Cars of Yesteryear Club is working with us to conduct a Cadillac Car Show on the fairgrounds, following the parade event.
If you're a car enthusiast you don't want to miss this history making Cadillac event!

Anyone tried to build a raft to float a layout blind on?
I have a marsh rat, but i got to thinking this would be nice to use in addtion.
The idea I really likeis to pull behind the rat and use to transport gear and have a place for the dog blind that the water would just run off.
Here is alink of what im thinking

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|I have heard 5 minutes for every month. I never depended on walks to drain energy though. Flirt pole is what I used. Once he became enamored of balls, fast games of fetch (throwing again as soon as it is brought back .. using 2 balls if he was reluctant to turn loose of the first one) tired him out. Uncontrollable landsharking can be a sign of not enough exercise or a too tired puppy. If you know it's had sufficient exercise, then maybe it's time for a nap! Mine wouldn't nap unless crated, so if he become obnoxious in his crate he would go. However, I will say that his siblings/mom taught him pretty good bite inhibition so that wasn't as much of an issue as it would be the cruising around getting into trouble, just like a toddler.
Oh, another trick I learned from this forum that saves my sanity is a stuffed frozen Kong....see attached picture. I mix some of his canned food with some of his kibble (more canned than kibble) then stuff it in the Kong and freeze so it will take him longer to work it out of the toy. He LOVES these too and they can give me 25-35 minutes of peace. I think the ones I use are the extra large Kongs. I have two I rotate...darn things are expensive, too. I wonder if your breeder meant to say work up to 20 minutes of exercise by 12 WEEKS...?? 20 minutes by 12 months just can't be right. I used to use the flirt pole to help tire Quax out and still will at times but I worry how hard he chases that thing and worry about the stress it puts on his joints etc with the tight turns and all. I just try to be careful when we play with the flirt pole. I prefer Chuck It....a stick that helps you throw a ball farther than what I can throw. We play with two balls so we can really keep the game going in both directions and he runs & runs. A tired Quax is a good Quax!! If you haven't already tried the tricks I listed, I hope this helps. I learned all I listed from this forum and it really helps!

As long as you have "common sense" you should be able to make the right choices for your puppy.
As far as the wormer I would only treat if my pup/dog tested positive. I used cut up pieces of steak for training a nice london broil goes a long way in small pieces. Are you crate training? It takes a lot of patience training a puppy but it's worth it!
NO rawhide for us!! Bully Sticks are the best in my opinion for long lasting chew!! We get them from BestBullySticks.com. They are listed as 100% natural and digestible. I do take them away from our pup once they have been chewed down to approx 2-3 inches to be safe and to prevent possibility of it getting stuck in his throat. Quax is now 8 months old and a STRONG chewer....we get the 12" jumbo sticks but you may not need that size yet for your girl (the jumbos are pretty pricey)...maybe the thick diameter 12" long. We get the odorless (also more expensive)...not completely odor free but better than the regulars. I can not speak highly enough about the Bully Sticks....he LOVES them and they are MY sanity! I can actually empty the dish washer, fold towels and even eat dinner in peace when he has one. Good luck with your pup....I feel your pain!! Hang in there, around 5-5 1/2 months our boy really slowed down on biting us....which is about the time his teething seemed to be done and he had his adult teeth. Which by the way....are not as sharp as those wretched baby teeth!

The only reassuring thing I can tell you is that this will pass!
I am not an expert either. But one thing that I did learn is that all dogs act differently and respond to certain training methods differently than others. However, I do believe that following the actions and discipline of a mother dog (how she disciplines her pups and teaches them manners) is the most consistant best way. This is just my opinion, but it has work extremely well with training my dogs.
I read so many books and talked to so many people about how to train and how to make the dog happy and what to feed the dog, etc.
After trying several different approaches (clicker, reward/treat, positive reinforcement), I went back to the basics. Solid discipline and consistancy. I teach my puppy a command using positive methods (no physical corrections) until they know and understand the command and until they are at least 16 to 20 weeks old. Then I use physical correction to reinforce commands when they don't immediately obey and to correct them when they misbehave.
I used the method that Susan described above for correcting biting and jumping. It worked very well. I would simply grab the dog by the back of the neck and hold them down until they calm down.
Most people think my methods are cruel and unnecessary, but it has worked very well for training my dogs. They listen and obey very well even when highly distracted with other dogs and people running around.
Bottomline: don't get too caught up with all the information floating around. Common sense and logic is always the best approach.
Good luck and have fun with your dog.
I'm neither an expert nor a canine professional, but I have owned GSDs and/or GSD/wolf crosses for 55 years. I worked for a vet for a few years, and he was my vet until he retired, current vet says the same thing--NO RAWHIDE CHEWS, for a number of reasons. And I have nothing against any nation of people, but I do not buy anything for my dogs that is made in China or has ingredients from China. I lost a sweet female GSD from acute renal disease, and my current vet feels that although I have always fed premium dog foods, even some of those ended up with a protein base from China, thus the kidney disease that took my sweet Sarah.
I am currently looking for a recipe so I can cook for my dogs and not rely on dry dog food, also trying to research a raw diet. One observation I have made over the years... When I was young, I never heard of 'bloat,' but then our dogs ate what we ate, supplemented with a little canned dog food when necessary. In my heart I believe that bloat and twisting of the stomach/intestines became as common as it is when 95% of dog owners (or whatever percentage) began feeding dry dog food. And in my research, I am also finding conflicting information--very frustrating. And this is something close to my heart, because in the last 15 years I have lost 2 GSDs that way.
So while I can't really point you in one direction, perhaps it helps to know that others share your frustrations!
As far as your puppy goes, they don't call them land sharks for nothin'! The best training I have ever seen as far as dealing with puppy biting was by a female wolf/shepherd we had (and we were blessed to have had her!). She contributed to the raising of 2 or 3 of our puppies, and she mannered them very well.

|Penny's Mum
Frustrated new owner....needing to vent!!!
Hi All,
My name is Jennifer and I am from Australia (so I apologise in advance if you don't know any brand names that I use...though if you do please help me!!)
We are now the proud owners of our first ever puppy, a very lively 4 month old called Penny. Whilst we have never owned a puppy before I grew up with a GSD and know the breed well and felt we would be a good match (also I am a major researcher and don't do or buy anything without researching everything to death!! LOL!) However, I am so frustrated by all the different advice we have received on just about every topic from just about every expert. I need to vent!!!
I remember the same happening when I had my first child (I now have 3). Every midwife etc said something different. But I very quickly learnt how to deal with that and it helped that my mothering instincts kicked in quite quickly and strongly and I was fine. But I don't have any canine instincts. I admit I am pretty clueless when it comes to much ingrained knowledge of dogs. So I am relying on the experts i.e. the breeders, vets, dog trainer and pet supply store staff right? Problem is they all say something different. Even 2 different vets at the same practice. My husband isn't at all bothered and I'm sure everyone else expects it but for some reason it is driving me insane.
It started with the breeder: "puppy has had 2 vaccinations and doesn't need any more no matter what anyone tries to tell you"; only 5 min walks building up to only 20 mins by 12 months of age.
Go to the vets and they freak out and make me pick up Penny because she hasn't had her 3rd vaccination and could get parvo. But I was told very firmly that she only needed 2?? Ok. We went with the 3rd. Oh and I can clearly tell that a 5 min walk is not enough. Yes I tire her through play and training but a 5 min walk is not going to cut it for this very boisterous shark of mine!
This vet said: tapeworm tablet twice a year (Penny is on monthly dose of Advocate which covers her for everything else such as fleas, heart worm, etc just not tape worm). If you need a chew treat give her a rawhide bone.
Next vet: no no no. Tapeworm tablet needs to be 3 monthly. Pig's ears and rawhide bones are the worse culprits for upset tummy (not to mention loads of people on the internet saying to stay away from rawhide totally!)
Pet trainer: use rawhide for your puppy shark that won't stop biting myself, my husband and children over and over and drawing blood. Oh and the treats I like are Wanpy and Jerhigh. A little look on the internet tells me that Wanpy are made in China. What??? Jerhigh are made in Thailand and have preservatives. Are they really ok??
Lady at Pet supply store: if you have a GSD with a sensitive stomach stay away from rawhide. Gave me some vegetable based chews. All good.
Various books and internet suggestions: feed dog the following treats:
cheese: really? first vet said no dairy plus cheese is high fat right?
sausage or hotdog: really? I know from having a sensitive stomach myself that I have to avoid sausages because of the fat, sodium and sulphites.
.....and you get the idea. I am so annoyed. I kept saying to myself to just pick which expert sounded the most sensible and stick with them. But then they all said something strange. I'd like to believe the vet since they train for 5 years. But each vet says something different.
To be honest though I guess my main concern is what to use for training treats because I really want this little rascal trained before she gets any bigger and becomes too unmanageable. Secondly I really need to know what chews I can give her. She really is biting us a lot and unfortunately if we do shout in temper (I know I know, we're meant to stay calm but sometimes it's a shock and really hurts, especially when she launches herself at us with a wild look in her eyes and just won't stop) if we do get cross, she gets aggressive and barks at us. I have tried everything. Substituting a chew toy (of which we have lots but I rotate them and only have 3-4 out a day), turning away, walking away (she follows and keeps biting and hangs off my clothes), leaving the room and putting her outside in a time out. But nothing is really working. She just keeps on and ignores the toys at times and gets really insistent on chewing us. She's not at all safe to leave around the kids. I guess my main strategies are keep her tired and have lots for her to chew. Hence, I really need something tasty and long lasting that she can chew on like a pig's ear but what??
Anyway, I'm sorry to have written such a long post but if anyone has any words of wisdom or can point me into the right direction or even if you can just relate....pleeeeeease let me know.
Thanks for reading.

+1 same problem
Hello All -
I downloaded the Backtrack 4 R1 VM file and extracted it to a folder which contains 10 vmdk files. Using VMWare Workstation (newest), I tried to open it which was a nogo since there's no vmx. I also tried to create a new VM with Ubuntu as the base, but when I try to use existing disk and slect the 1st vmdk, I get an error.
I also tried to import the vmdk using virtualbox, but it didn't work either.
What am I missing? - Thanks!
+1 same problem
Same thing here.
The compressed file contain only vmware disk files.
Since vmware workstation need vmware image files I'm unable to install it.
I found nothing about how to convert the virtual disk into a VM.
Someone can help please ?
I know this is kind of old.. but if you use the vmware converter you should be able to convert it into any file type you need. There are many walkthrough's on google.
I just used the vm image / converter to do an ESXi port last week and it worked perfectly.
hey it is possible to load a .vdmk file in a virtual box... simply create a machine and before u run the machine u need to mount an operating system cd for the machine ...instead of tht go to setting ->storage and click on the virual hard disk tht u hav made and click the browse button for tht and locate ur back track .vmdk file and set it as ur hard disk and now run machine . u gonna get ur back track loaded
There was an analogical problem. Decides installing of old version (5.X).
Hi all,
I had download it and already install VMware Workstation 7.0 on my Laptop. I open BT4-R1 by VMware Workstation, I login with user root, pass toor. Afeter 5 day I had research, read and see many thread and video but after that i don't know what should I do continue for ha_ck wifi pass. Backtrack really very strong power but very hard to understand and use it for ha_ck wifi pass. Someone should write the guide thread step by step for newcomer PLEASE, TKS.

Title says it all I was wondering why? Im putting floating firing pin in bolt, to me the bushing looks unneeded why wouldnt the original diameter work? but this is my first 43, and if I was sure I would not be asking you:confused:
that fairly large hole is just shy of 3/16, the problem with using original firing pin as bushing is it is to small to plug hole. I was hoping some one would chime in and say that a 3/16 firing pin would work?!<
3/16" = .1875. Small pistol primer diameter = .175. With a 3/16" FP the primer will back out of the case when fired, jamming it up.
I guess Im real bad at describng what I want to try. The 3/16 pin would be tapered like any other firing pin. I may just try it and give a report,
You're not getting the picture. I understand you are using a large shaft FP with a point on it. That is not an issue.
The hole in the bolt is larger than the primer. The primer, unless it is supported by the boltface, will want to blow itself out of the case. The spring tension on the FP is not enough to prevent this. The bushing lets the small diameter FP hit the primer, and the bushing supports the primer in the case.
The original firing pin is fixed, it doesn't retract. The PPS43, like most SMGs, is open bolt. The firing pin sticks out all the time, and the larger diameter portion of it sits even with the boltface, providing the needed support. When the bolt slams shut, the round comes to a stop in the chamber and the fixed FP continues forward with the last fraction of bolt travel to set off the primer. In a closed bolt semi, the FP must retract below the bolt face to prevent slamfires. If you don't bush the hole, that will leave a hole larger than the primer with a cone shaped FP sticking up in the middle. Depending on how far below flush the FP tip is, the primer will either blow back into the hole unimpeded or only partially extrude down around the cone. Either way, jam city and possible gas leakage. Even with a round using the larger diameter large pistol primers, enough is unsupported that extrusion back into the hole is likely.
Think of it this way, that small little protrusion on the original FP is the FP, the larger diameter part is simply what holds it in the bolt and is indistinguishable from the bolt when installed, from a function standpoint.
OK I got it . thanks for taking time to draw me a picture. I will bush it,
That was a good job of explaining it kernel, I shot my pps43C this weekend. The gun ran flawless, but the Ammo had some hard primes so I had a few that needed a second trip under the Pin.. only about 2% B2B

Architect and designer Federico Babina's latest project is "Archiportrait"—the artistic renderings of 33 starchitects, in which their appearances are made out of their own designs. The shapes and styles of the building translate to the features of the face in his drawings.
Babina likens his abstractions relating architects' faces and their architecture to the imagination in determining what shape a cloud resembles. "An eye, the shape of a face or a mouth can be read between the structures of a building," Babina says in a press release. "The intent is to display the likeness, personality, and even mood of the protagonist through his aesthetic."
Babina has created a series of renderings blending architects with their works, from the "Archibet," to 8-bit pixelated illustrations, and more.

Meade County Democrat Rep. Jeff Greer says he won't give up on getting his school dropout prevention bill passed. This is the fourth consecutive year he has championed a bill to gradually raise the legal school dropout age from 16 to 18.
Governor Steve Beshear and First Lady Jane Beshear are behind Greer's bill. In sessions past, Mrs. Beshear has given a full-throated endorsement of the bill in committee. In his State of the Commonwealth Address on February 6th, the Governor said the "graduation bill" is a big priority. "Every Kentucky school district now has alternative and support programs available for students at risk of dropping out," said Beshear. "We just have to keep them in school and take advantage of these programs. Every education group supports this legislation, and now a new survey reveals that 85 percent of parents favor it," he added. Like the Governor, Rep. Greer believes this is the year to get it done. Greer talked about how times have changed since the original law was passed.
Nearly 6,000 kids in Kentucky dropout of school each year. The bill ups the legal dropout age in stages. In July 2017, it rises to 17. In July 2018, it will go up to 18. Senator Jimmy Higdon has a companion school dropout measure in the upper chamber that's still waiting for committee action. Shelbyville Republican Brad Montell voted in favor of the bill on the House floor last Thursday, but seized the opportunity – as he'd done on numerous occasions before – to vocalize an educational issue he's been urging the chamber to seriously consider — charter schools.
After about 30 minutes of floor debate, the bill to gradually raise the school dropout age to 18 by the year 2018 cleared the Kentucky House on a vote of 87 to 10. It now heads to the Senate for consideration there, where a competing school dropout bill is in the Senate chamber cache.
Green County Republican David Givens has a bill that was green-lighted by the Senate education committee on the same day the Democratic-controlled House advanced Greer's bill.
Givens' measure cleared the Senate education committee and now waits for action by the entire Senate chamber.

I am thinking of buying a pair of these-
Would they be close?
IMO they're a bit dark but you might be able to get away with it fine...
Thanks web, I was thinking that too. Hard to tell from the dinky pic. They may even be darker yet in real life. I think I will chance it, can't beat the price. If they are real off, I could always use them in the garage.
Since they are 100% cotton, do they make a product that could lighten them up?
If you go to the store and look where they keep the dye for clothes, there is going to be something there to help remove the color before yo dye an item. For some reason, I can't remember the name.
Unfortunately, bleaches and color removers tend to make things turn kind of orangey if you just try to lighten them. It looks like the guy offers a lighter shade of gray tho look at his other auctions.Quote:
mrgr8ness said:
Something else to keep in mind. The coveralls will get even darker when you distress them.
Yeah those lighter ones have like small pinstripes in them. The auction has a "make best offer" so I offered $10 and got accepted. Worth a shot, maybe they will work ok. I will post pics when I get them.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Thanks Racer. I'll let you know if I need the shims...they may come in handy. I probably won't have the cam and springs for another 10 days or so. Regards.
OK, The distance between the cam button and the timing cover needs to be shimmed to .001" or as close as you can get. You can buy small shims, you can even use brass or steel washers the same OD as the hole in your timing chain. As long as the cam button stays in place the shims will never go anywhere.
If you have not checked the vertical dimensions of the timing gear and the crank gear you should. In 35 years of building SBC's I have never found them to be closer than .005". To zero drag and distributor timing scatter you need to get that number as close to .001" as possible once you determine where your cam gear is going to be you have to place shims between the crank and the crank gear. If you can't find them I have them made 100 at a time in small .001" .005" increments. It might be overkill as most timing chains have enough slop in them to compensate for some mis-alignment, if you want you engine to run like a top, it does not take that much longer to do it right and it is not real expensive, just time consuming.
Once you get the little bugs worked out you will see how rock solid your timing gets as the ring gear on the cam can vary timing a couple degrees just on .005" slop.
Good morning. I'm checking the gap between the cam button and timing cover....cam 'walk' if you will.
I had the cam pushed in against the torrington thrust bearing (just a plain brass washer or ring - about .030 thickness) and a roller type cam button in front.
The chain is not pulling it forward. I installed the cover then pulled the cam forward to see how much it walked.
Thanks for asking.
Also to note, my intake valves are 2.08 (124.8 grams vs 116.5 grams for a 2.05) so I'm still trying to factor in spring weight and rev kit spring pressure and wonder if the crane springs (part# 99893 - 150 seated @ 1.8, 340 @ 1.3) will be enough.
When you say endplay where are you measuring?
If the cam is bottomed against the block and you have a shim in there how are you getting end play?
Is the timing chain pulling the cam forward and you push it back .025"?
I ask because I am trying to make sure you don't have additional problems.
Thanks for the input. Actually the cam is being sent back for a full refund. I'll be going with a custom grind from Crane - i like their billet stock and their cam specs more closely resemble what I need for this motor and my altitude here in NM. Should be a 'normal' grind with cast gear. I'll also be changing out the springs with their recommended springs (150 seated @ 1.8, 340 @ 1.3). I'm also running an Isky rev kit so I can get away with much lower pressure with that also.
The base varied from .903 to .908 when myself and a 3rd party mic'ed it. Yes I have Eagle H beam stroker rods (6") and they are very close but enough clearance with the small BC. Also we mic'ed the lobes and they were inconsistent in height and width all along the length of the cam....and not a split pattern like I ordered. This was a wierd one.
I'll be swapping out the intake rockers for 1.6 with the replacement cam for some added lift as the exhaust is fine but the intake could use some extra.
Yes the endplay will be set when I mock up the new one. The previous one had some serious alignment issues (inconsistent pattern throughout the length of the cam and very close to the inside edge) and that was with a thin .030 brass ring behind the gear and the cam pushed all the way in. It still had approx .025 or more of endplay. I'm expecting the next cam to align with the lifters correctly (and wider lobes) then I can get the gear alignment and endplay correct.
Thanks for the offer. I'll let you know. Regards.
You are going to kill 25hp with those springs and you will kill your engine oil and valvesprings with the heat they generate. If you were turning 9500 you might need that much pressure.
If you don't run stroker rods you can hit the cam in a couple places with standard rods. That looks like about an .850" base circle with the optical mics.
That cam will lose you about 2-3% of your duration at the valve unless it was compensated for in the grind ( usually not done ). You can check it with your degree wheel when you dial it in.
I might be tempted to go up from 1.5 -1.6 on the rocker to get some back.
That cam is similar to the GM ASA cam that I use in my "Outlaw" crates, with stock GM604 parts and the cam swap, those engines at 350" make about 475HP swapping in a 3.75" stroke and stroker pistons that same engine makes about 550HP. I use my "Outlaw" spring set on them and they are good to 7500 and are a German made 1.260" spring with 175# @1.800 and 425 open, I sell them **************
Cam end play is your responsibility not the cam manufacturers. I set mine as close to ZERO as I can get it. First you have to set your crank gear in place, then you put your cam gear in place those two have to be shimmed to vertical +/- .001" once you do that you shim your cam end play to zero with shims behind the cam gear / bearing and the nose bearing against the timing cover. If you can't find the stuff ************
|I mocked up the cam to check endplay and lobe alignment. Endplay with my roller cam button was excessive but worse was the lobe alignment. With the cam pushed back as far as it will go as installed, and a light film of red grease on the rollers, I can see a few of the lifters are directly centered on the lobe but most are off to one side (the inside edge) with many sitting right on the inside edge of the lobe. So any endplay will cause the lifter roller to hang off the edge. Pics attached. I'll give comp a call tomorrow to see about rectifying this.
My cam is 256/260, EFI, AFR 227's, and race weight of around 3100. No tune either. Should be knocking on 9's either this summer or in the fall. It's a 4th gen f-bod, 94 Z28.
Idle video
|If there is a dimensional problem. Send it back for a QC check... Maybe send some photos first... That's all I was saying...
|Comp is 11.77-1, pump gas, street car, my altitude is around 700 ft.
I agree I could get away with lighter springs. They were installed by World Castings when the heads were purchased and rated up to .700 lift. (1.550 diam). The cam I removed was a 260 @ 50, .602 lift 108 lsa with rev kit , rockers are summit aluminum rollers (1.5) and the intake valves are 2.08 so they were sufficient. Comp suggested their springs (954-16) for the new cam which are actually heavier (but slightly smaller diameter) so I figure I would use what I already have and save the $$$.....probably more than I need but still in the safe zone. I may rethink the springs though...
Still dont get the narrow lobe thing...
BTW, what compression ratio are you running...and at what altitude? Is this a street car? Thanks.
I would think those springs are overkill for that camshaft you are running. I ran a 242/248 duration with .584"/.579" hydraulic roller with a single beehive spring. It was 130 seat and 313 open (going off the top of my head here). You are running 480lbs with less duration and less lift, probably a lobe rate similar to what I was running. If you are running heavy rockers or heavy valves then they might be necessary but I bet it would be fine with a 918 beehive spring.
My new cam is 256/260 with lift near .700" with heavy Crower maximus roller lifters, shaft rockers, and big pushrods, and my springs are similar to what you have right now.
The roller face is approx 11/32 and the lobes are about 15/32. The lobes on the cam I took out are 1/16" wider. The roller I checked seem to line up in the center of the lobe with a smidgon leftover on each side, so I assume as long as the endplay is within spec it won't be a problem...just a little close for my taste and dont know why they made them so narrow. Could not get a definitive answer from Comp.
Springs are 200 @ 1.9", 480 @ 1.2" (Motown heads / -3). Comp also recommended their springs if starting from scratch (210 @1.9, 523 @ 1.25) so I figure I'll use what I already have installed, as well as my rev kit - should be plenty without being excessive.
The pic of the bottom cam looks very similar. Comp doesn't tell you the base circle size but my measurements show about .908. I originally was going to go with an LT1 grind but lowered the duration a bit because of my elevation (5500-6000 ft) and compression ratio (9.8:1) . Also went with the small base circle as that was what the other cam was and looking down the cam journals the rods look really close (6" eagle H beam) so I felt safer that way. Thanks for posting those pics....I feel a LITTLE better now.
Here is a nasty .950" base for an LT1/sbc
