Re: Simply Anatomy
My new frog sub, I think I fixed it. I like it fine, but I have a new idea that I'm gonna put out before it gets too late in the week.
If you have any suggestions on how to improve the froggy, that would be cool. Also, does anyone know how to turn gradients into little dots with GIMP?

Your most successful design was in the robot derby, and it was original, well done, and a near print. You didn't get any negative comment, just praise (well deserved I might add). If you are trying to reach a broader audience with your art, that is the obvious direction you should go.
Since your little hissy fit over not printing, you've done nothing but churn out overdone pop culture crap and existing IP. Knowing how creative you can be vs. what we see from you now, it really seems you are just going for the cheap popular gag so that you can get a print and make some money. It doesn't have to be about the art. There is a very successful designer here who obviously doesn't care about the art. It's all about the easy buck for them. If that's what you want to do, fine, go do it. But at least be honest about it. And if you are going to keep churning out lazy work in hopes of a quick buck, more power to you, but don't try and play the victim of some hate campaign against you every time you get flack for not being original. In short, man up.
Again, I appreciate your honest feedback about my work. But just saying its pop culture rehash doesn't really provide much of feedback for the design. all your sayin' is you don't like the subject matter because of the pop culture tie in. As to all the designs I've done since the robot derby being nothing but cheap popular gag then I guess I beg to differ. I guess the other designs subbed must have been over looked because the d20 design did well and so because its was popular that must mean its a bad design and all the others that didn't do well must have been the good designs. Popular doesn't mean bad but I guess in your book it does. The robot design was pop culture too. Zombies! that's major pop! So sayin' that was an exception really is not the case. You can hate on my work all you want. that's your perogative. But sayin' the design is crap just because it may have a pop culture tie is really just your opinion. I stand by my designs. They are wearable and well done but just don't sit there on your high horse because you believe you have some objective view point on the matter. Simple you hate designs which may have some pop culture theme which may appeal to the masses. I have always been up front and honest about my designs. Each week just like every artist who subs we try our best to create something which may appeal to a wide audience. And we all are trying to win. I'm not here post a design to tickle someone's aesthetic yearning. I'm trying to create something which many people would like and buy. Art takes a backseat. Is the art important? Yes but the idea... the design that sells is paramount. If I want to do this, sub each week, just for the art then I'll see you at the Holiday Inn on Sunday with my Bob Ross and Thomas Kinkade reproductions. Because that's the route of the starving artist.
so here's me manning up. Bring it! I'll see you in the bathroom for our pissing contest next.

The best part is it's accurate too! Plants generally undergo photosynthesis faster under red light, thereby growing more, but more slowly under green light. The green pigments are able to absorb the wavelengths of red light, but not green light. With blue and yellow it's somewhere in between, depending on the plant.
Awesome. Totally getting this if it gets printed.
thanks for noticing the research I put into this design!
This design is awesome. Very clever.
I don't know why you don't have more votes. I'll buy at least 2.

I am aware that your robot design contained zombies, and instead of just doing a zombie shirt, you did something creative and original that included zombies. Something that I haven't seen done in..., well maybe ever. That is an accomplishment, and deserves artistic and creative praise.

Were all just pop culture and existing IP slapped on a shirt with no real creativity or originality. They were just there, for the sake of people going "I like D&D! This shirt rocks!" or "Hey, Office space was funny! This shirt rocks!" All you are doing here is essentially copying and pasting other people's ideas and trying to get a large enough target audience to earn you a grand. All I am saying is, it's obvious you are capable of doing some really cool stuff, and it's frustrating to see talented people just trying to go the cheap route. But like I said, if that's your game, go and play it, just don't act indignant when you are called out on it.
I would love to have a pissing match with you, but I pee sitting down, like any high horse riding gentleman would.

If you wanted the derby entries to realistically capture the experiments in a middle school science fair, we'd only have a bunch of entries revolving around potato catapults and posters based on the water cycle, which I'm pretty sure no one wants.
Actually, that's kind of what I hoped for with this derby: interesting designs based on actual scientific ideas you might find in a science fair. Not sadistic machinations of a disturbed child.
What's really amazing to me is that ramy's fans are somehow unable to grasp the simple idea that this shirt is depicting DEAD TURTLES because a) they're cute and/or b) it references the Ninja Turtles.
Let's throw out any criticism relating to the theme, colors, style, etc. How can anybody in good conscience vote for and wear a shirt that is essentially making a JOKE out of poisoning animals? This isn't T-Shirt Hell, where tasteless shirts like this belong. This design has no place on woot in any derby.

Re: Minor Modifications
I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with this design, as far as its relation to the theme. It's pretty simple and expresses the idea effectively.
I just think it's a dated joke that's been done before.

Oh geez... you're sort of right...
There are three primary colors of light, RGB (additive color).
There are also three primary colors of pigment, Red, Blue and Yellow (subtractive color). Those are the colors on the color wheel that are taught in art classes as part of color theory.
CMYK are the four ink colors used in printing.

Want to learn to really drive your Focus??
OK, someone suggested I take a shot at helping those who are unsure about what it takes to get some "track time" to learn how to properly drive their Foci (or most any car for that matter).
I envision a list here of racing/driving schools, car clubs, etc, plus tracks they visit and FF members' experiences. Read this Wikipedia page for a good definition of the HPDE (High Performance Driver Education) experience, which is often the best way to get exposed to proper performance driving technique:
Some HPDE education basics: This is serious business! First and foremost, take a deep breath and check your ego at the door. I have been on track in both non-competitive "high performance driver education" and competitive time trials, in 4 different cars, for a total of only around 15 events or so, not including autocrosses long ago. Obviously I am no expert here, but am happy to offer an "intermediate" driver's perspective. The single best thing you can do is listen carefully to the experienced drivers. A little knowledge goes a long way...absorb all you can.
I invite anyone with prior experience in these sorts of events to list, (a) the organization, (b), the track, (c) your experience in a nutshell, how that group ran the event and what you gained from it.
This will be a work in progress...I'm writing this late, when I ought to be in bed so hopefully I've got a foundation built here anyway.
Thanks for your time, and let's help each other. Ignorance is not necessarily a negative reflection on someone...not knowing is often just that, "not knowing". Let's share info.
Be safe folks.

Just for the record:
EMRA (emraracing.org): Three time trials, 3 cars, 2 trophies. Very friendly bunch for the most part. Novices are advised to hook up with an instructor and try to stick with him or her (what I did anyway) for your 2 or 3 practice sessions before timed laps at the end. Not maximum track time but good instructors from what I experienced. Lime Rock Park
SCDA (scda1.org): Non-competitive "track day" or HPDE events. Very well run, efficient, on time, great staff and instructors. If you are lucky you might just get an instructor who led Skip Barber for many years (I was fortunate in this way). Safety first, fun second...but tons of fun because of the amount of track time. Lime Rock Park and New Hampshire International Speedway
Porsche Club of America (chicago): Gingerman Raceway in Michigan...impressive place! I borrowed a friend's former SCCA champion '92 Camaro, and he was my instructor. Nice group, lots of track time, other instructors seemed well suited to the task.
Fast Lane Racing School (raceschool.com): Streets of Willow and Willow Springs. These folks teach the Toyota Celebrity racers for the Long Beach Grand Prix support race and other events. It's modified Celicas on two tracks, experienced instructors (one of mine had driven in the Indy 500 more than once, so not a slacker exactly!). You can get as much or as little instruction as you want...You can spend the whole time with a ride-along teacher or just get some pointers once or twice, then spend the rest of the time on your own.
the local autocross segment. it gets you at least onto a track (wir- and a big go kart track too) there are a few great instrutors and its all real informal. best part is no one acts better than you for not really knowing. there are slow guys and fast guys there. so plenty of time to learn the coures and visibly watch other cars go round to get some insight as to where thay are putting it on the track. (yes everyone works the course and races)

Just to wade in on the discussion.
Often, a specific "school" isn't required to get your feet wet.
Porsche (PCA) was mentioned earlier, but also consider the SVT Owners Association (SVTOA), Mercedes Benz, BMW Car Club of America (BMWCCA), Car Guys, NASA and regional track days like Friday at the Track (FATT) - run at Summit Point in WVA.
All of these clubs have seasoned and patient instructors that often move between events and clubs to assist and to get seat time.
Some additional thoughts on track days:
Get lots of rest before and during the event. Use the week before to eat right, get lots of sleep, stay away from alcohol
If possible, take the day before the event off from work. This allows more time to get ready and packed without having to rush. You'll be a bundle of nerves anyway, why make it tougher. Go ahead and drive up the night before, even if the track is close to you. Most events have a night-before check-in which will make your 1st morning that much more pleasant. You may also have a chance to meet your instructor the night before, hang out with other attendees
At the event, make sure to keep hydrated... preferably with water or sports drinks
Read as many high performance driving guides as possible such as the High Performance Driving Manual from HSR or others
Come to your first track day with an open mind. You may have a very high performance street car, you may have driven it very fast on highway off ramps but that does not make you track driver. Show up and consider yourself a blank piece of paper that you and your instructor will color in during the day. As I've heard at some beginner driver meetings "check your ego at the front gate". You and your instructor will both have a more enjoyable day.
Your Car
Make sure to have any requried safety inspection completed well in advance of the event. If one is not required, do one anyway!
Have normal maintanence done as well (oil, filters, wheel & tire balancing/rotation, radiator check).
Bring with you extra consumables (oil, water, brake fluid, brake pads)
Toss your cell phone in your back pack and forget about it. If you are a doctor on call, your wife is preganant and due at any moment, or you are needed to fend of a pending alien invasion, then spending your time at an HPDE is probably not the best use of your time. Schedule your event where you won't be interrupted.
More importantly, the phone is off of your person. Things can get really exciting in the car if the phone rings at mid-apex. Worse, if you have the unfortunate experience of having an incident, the phone becomes a missile inside the car.
TURN THE RADIO/CD PLAYER OFF (I have stories about this one)
I'll post more soon.

^^^^Many, many words of wisdom, clearly from experience. I agree with every bit of it. Thanks!
One additional point I'll raise: For the maximum amount of track time you might choose a group that does not have a competitive element to the day's events, that is, no timed laps at the end of the day. Especially for the novice, the time trial portion can be a bit of a waste as you are waiting around for your shot at a couple of laps to try for a trophy, time which you might otherwise spend in another 20-30 minute lapping session. Just a thought...
Resident Curmudgeon
I decided that this should be a STICKY !!!
Thanks to APEX214 for getting the ball rolling!
A few more thoughts. For the sake of convenience, I borrowed from Wikipedia for many of the terms.
Going to the track for the first time is intimidating and confusing for a lot of people. The learning curve can be steep because of the time table involved. Very little time between classroom, one on one and the next thing you know, you are in a strange high speed environment where things get intersting really quickly.
Below are some terms and thoughts you should familiarize yourself with in advance of your track day.
This stands for High Performance Driver Education. Also sometimes refered to as simply DE. This is what first-timers need to be looking for. Most HPDEs have run groups separated into different experience levels, including Beginner. These events are typically run on a weekend, although some of the more popular tracks, and tracks where professional race series are held, may also have them during the week. These events (or at least the HPDE groups within an event) are non-competitive with strict passing rules designed to keep everyone safe, and to keep the cost of entry down (generally nothing more than standard car maintanence and a helmet are required to participate.)
You drive your own car, and beginners will be given an in-car instructor for all their on-track activities. Additionally, there are classroom sessions between the track sessions to educate and bring everyone up to speed.
All HPDE events should use corner workers (unlike Autocross, participants don't also have to work) and, more importantly, Advanced Life Support should be on-site at all times there are cars on track. If these elements are absent, pack up and go home. It simply isn't worth the risk to yourself or your equipment.
Most HPDEs are run by clubs that are not affiliated with the track, however, some tracks have their own HPDE programs
Open Track
Open track, or lapping day events are geared more for the experienced driver. These events are typically one day events, during the week, without a lot of structure to get in the way of track time. It is not unusual for Open Track participants to have to progress through the other HPDE groups then be tested.
Competition School
These events are geared towards someone who is looking to get immediately into wheel-to-wheel racing. Sometimes run in conjuction with HPDEs, they are usually more for experienced drivers who want to take the next step. You should already have a basic understanding of on-track protocol including traffic and crisis management. Most have a pre-requisute of a number of HPDE events before you will be allowed to participate in a competition school. These requirements and their intensity vary from club to club.
A subset of competition schools are the Racing Schools like Skip Barber, Jim Russell, and others. These events typically run in the thousands of dollars to attend, but you drive the school's cars, usually open wheel formula style. Upon completion of these schools, you will usually be issued a provisional race license with the organization that runs the school, where after you complete a minimum number of races, will be upgraded to an official race license.
Includes but it not limited to:
Transportation to and from track
School Fees
Event pricing ranges from free to upwards of $5000 depending on what type of event and its target attendee. You won't find many free ones, but you can get on track for little or no cost. It just won't be a high speed event. It may be a charity lapping day hosted by the track, or even parade laps sometimes held at HPDE events.
For high-speed events, the pricing usually depends on the track. The more popular the track, the more money they charge to the renters, so the more expensive the entry fee will be. Some fees are based on the organization who may have a set fee no matter what track they are running at.
In very general terms:
One-day lapping/open track - $100 to $300
Two-day HPDE - $250 to $600
Two-day HPDE w/race - $400 to $800
Half-day race school (open wheel cars) - $700 to $1000
Three-day race school (open wheel cars) - $1500 to $4000
Four or Five day race school w/race and comp license - $3000 to $6000
Event terms
False Grid- Staging area for cars waiting to go on track. The pit may be divided by a wall, with the side closest to the paddock the false grid, the side closest to the track being the Hot Pit
Hot Pit- This is the area of the pit lane where cars will be coming through when coming off track. Usually left clear, it is used to check out a car that has had an off-track excursion, and other situations where cars must come off track
Pit-Out Marshall- This is the guy or gal that directs cars when to leave the pits and enter the track. If its a paid track worker, will be dressed in all white. He/she has the final say... even if an event steward or pit worker tells you to go, if you don't see a signal from the pit-out person, don't go.
Grid Marshall- This person's main function is to stay in constant communication with the corner workers and pit personel, making sure everyone is where they should be, and that everyone is following the rules. This will be the person you speak with if you have to be black flagged for anything.
Grid/Pit worker- Usually volunteers for the event, they keep the grid orderly, and they make sure the right cars are gridding up, and that those cars have all the proper identification/tech stickers/numbers, etc. etc.
Corner Worker- Usually paid workers from the track or local SCCA region, these are the people that keep you safe out there.
On-Track terms
These terms are listed here simply as a primer for people just starting out in tracking their car. It is by no means a comprehensive list, and the definitions are purposefully simplified.
Vision Up (EYES UP) - You'll hear this probably more than anything. It means looking as far ahead as possible while you are driving. Most people have a tendency to look about 20-30 feet in front of their car (or at the speedometer)... when you really need to be looking hundreds of yards in front of you. Sometimes not in front of you either! If the road bends around, you'll need to adjust your vision around as well. Its an easy concept, but very hard to make yourself do.
Threshold Braking - Essentially this means using as much braking force as possible, in the shortest distance possible, without locking up the wheels. The trick is to time it so that the car ends up at the right speed for the turn-in. In cars with ABS Threshold braking is accomplished by quickly and decisively using the whole pedal until ABS engages. True mastery of this technique maximizes braking WITHOUT engaging the ABS. Maximum braking is achieved just before the point of lock up - not an easy thing to accomplish (use your toes).
Turn-in - Refers to the moment you begin turning your steering wheel to start a turn
Apex - Refers to a point within a turn where your car is at its inner-most point on the turn's line.
Early Apex - An apex before the physical center of a turn
Late Apex - An apex after the physical center of a turn
Track-Out/Exit - The point at which you are at full acceleration coming out of a turn.
More to come!

Track safety is paramount. The main objective of a track day is to be safe and drive home afterwards. Different clubs/schools have different rules but generally the rules are similar to the following.
Drivers education is about providing a safe place for drivers to improve their driving ability. Most schools break drivers in to groups based on ability/experience. A fast car does not mean that you'll be in the fastest group as you'd be amazed the horsepower upgrade that an experienced driver can make to a car.
It's Only an HPDE. How Dangerous Can It Be?
Any time you sit behind the wheel of a car, you're putting yourself in a dangerous situation. You're probably more likely to get into an accident on the way to the track than at the track... because at the track you'll be subject to rules, instruction, and supervision designed to make it as safe as possible. Unfortunately, if you do happen to have a problem on a track you're going to be moving a lot faster then your garden variety fender bender. As a result, the consequences can be much higher.
Some say HPDE is not as dangerous as racing but if you hit something at speed then the physics don't care whether it's a DE or a race. It's going to hurt. 110mph into walls that line many tracks, even for an offset collision, will do a lot of damage to your car. There are steps you can take to limit that damage to your car.
Some drivers recommend:
Racing seats
Full harness
Rollbar with back braces
Helmet with neck restraint
Fire extinguisher
This is expensive, expect around 5k USD for this no matter what the car. It's cheap if something happens. Your odds of being hurt will be significantly lower than in your stock car. However, these are NOT REQUIRED for most events. Cars today are very safe. I mention them here as a reference only.
How much safety equipment you need for your car depends on:
The Car - if you have a high horsepower car that his hard to handle, you can probably afford to invest in safety equipment.
The Track - some tracks have lots of space and run-off area, some are tight and have close walls.
The Event - Time Trials, Driver's Ed, Club Racing (Requirements are different for each)
The Driver - Your attitude towards driving and how hard you are going to push makes a big difference in how likely you are to go off, and what will happen to you when you do.
Regardless of how much equipment you decide you need, you'll find some advice about making the final choices here.
What's equivalent safety?
This means that what ever you did for safety on the drivers side of the car, you need at least the same on the passenger side. You can't be sitting in your car with your instructor wearing a 6pt polyester harness in a carbon fiber seat with your instructor in the stock seat with a 3pt belt. Have a heart, that would be a very nervous instructor...
You need the same level of protection for both occupants. I have seen some cars with only one 6pt harness on the drivers side. That looks suspect to me and I would be very hesitant to get in the car as an instructor.
Upgrade the carbon unit in the car
The biggest safety factor in the car is you. The more you educate yourself in driving, the safer you'll become. Spend money on modding yourself by gaining school/track time before any other performance modifications.
The basics
First and foremost, plan ahead and read any and all rules and regulations for the event in which you will be participating. There's nothing worse then showing up for an event, only to be denied tech because you didn't read the requirements.
Many HPDE days have a minimum as a stock street car with a 2.5lb fire extinguisher mounted where the driver can access it. Most, if not all organizers will want the car checked and signed off by a dealer/mechanic before allowing you on the track.
Again... check with the organization running the event. Even though some event hosts still allow M rated and non-Snell tested helmets, it is recommended that you go with a reputable brand that is tested to Snell standards.
SA rated helmets (Special Application) are tested for multiple impacts and fire protection
M rated halmets (Motorcycle) are tested for a single impact and are not required to have fire resistant materials
Helmet ratings are helmet ratings, no matter the price. A $200 SA rated helmet will hold up the same way a $500 or a $1000 SA rated helmet will (a bit over-simplified... a better fitting, lighter helmet will be worth the money)
Fit is more important than the name or the price. Too tight and you'll head will go numb, too loose and it won't stay on your head properly
Never buy a used helmet... you never know how its been taken care of or how it will fit
Open or closed face mostly comes down to personal preference. In vehicles with an upright seating position, non-competitive, and airbag equipped... there is no real reason not to get an open face helmet if you want. If you don't have an airbag, definitely buy a closed face helmet. One added benefit that has nothing to do with impacts is the added fire protection of a closed-face
Motorbike helmets won't do. If you aren't using a head and neck restraint then buy the best helmet you can afford. A composite model if you want. A lighter helmet is safer than heavier one in an impact. If you aren't planning on buying a neck restraint then I recommend the lighter composite helmets.
Most require cotton pants and a cotton sweater with long sleeves. A fire proof racing suit is optional and really depends on your level of paranoia (yep, I have one). Fire suits aren't as good as you'd think. I was quite surprised that a fire suit will only give maybe 13 seconds of protection before second degree burns. This kind of shocked me. 13 seconds isn't a whole lot of time. Course, in a t-shirt and jeans you're already cooking at 13 seconds but still, I thought you'd have longer. Adding nomex underwear apparently adds 6-9 seconds to this, but it's not a whole lot of time but is a lot better than normal clothes.
Most people use sneakers for shoes and you can buy driving shoes from between 100 and 200 dollars.
Above all BE SMART, BE ATTENTIVE, and LISTEN !!!

Dont spend a dime modding the car except for safety equipment.
Roll cage, cool. 6 pt harness, cool, better brake pads, cool. Stop there. You will definitely be the weakest link. A stock 996 (or a focus) is an absolutely super fast car. It is not the limiting factor. Better suspension/tires etc will only mask problems with your driving. Stay stock and spend the money on drivers education. Plus, I can't think of a more dangerous scenario than driving poorly at faster speeds due to more horsepower, better suspension and tires. When you screw up in that case, you're probably walking home if you're lucky...
Get the car teched and safe
All organizations that offer bring your own car track days or drivers education require a technical inspection form to be completed by a mechanic for your car. It usually asks the mechanic to check the car is working correctly, brakes, shocks, tires, engine etc.
Most dealers or racing shops will do it. If you're not sure just ask the organizing body to recommend someone they will accept it from.
Change your oil before and after the event.
The cheapest insurance for your engine there is.
Change your brake fluid before the event
I use DOT 4 ATE brake fluid, better safe than sorry...
Bring a big plastic box with a water tight lid for your stuff in case it rains or is windy
The car has to be empty on the track so usually your stuff is in front of your parking slot.
Have a good tire gauge.
I bought one from Apex SPG for 80 bucks. Big guage, easy to read, automatically corrects for atmospheric pressure variations, half pound accuracy. 80 bucks sound a lot? Your tires will cost you 1200 bucks every year, 80 bucks is peanuts. Buy a good one.
Cordless Compressor for tire inflation.
I have a Campbell Hausfield one I bought at Walmart for 50 bucks. It's a cordless 230PSI compressor thats about as expensive as a cordless drill. I wouldn't bother with one with an air tank. This does the job and it's a lot smaller.
Have a torque wrench to check your wheel lugs
I have one from Sears which was like 90 bucks. I would also add, you will need the correct size socket for your wheel lug nuts!
Bug/Tar removal wipes and squeegee
Keep your windscreen clean. You'll observe bugs doing unnatural things striking your windows at large speeds.
Wheel Cleaner Wipes
There will be a lot of brake dust (regardless of manufacturer), I just like to clean them at the end of each day.
Bottles of water.
You'll sweat a lot.
4 quarts or Mobil 1 0W40 or whatever your car needs.
I couldn't find any around the track. Bring it with you. Why 4? Just to be safe. Put it in a plastic bag as I've have new bottles leak on me. Try to keep the oil level at 3/4s or better. I used 750ml (3/4 quarts ish) in 3 days.
Driving gloves especially if you have leather steering wheel
My hands sweated a lot and it's uncomfortable. Gloves fixed that. I have Sparco gloves that I bought from OG Racing for 120 bucks. Also invest in a good set of mechanics gloves. Things get HOT under the hood and around the wheels.
Helmet and neck restraint.
Get a good helmet and buy a neck restraint. Bell and Simpson both make safety collars that will help in an impact and also help in keeping the weight of the helmet off of your neck and shoulders. As you progress, so should your safety gear. The well known HANS devices start at 865 bucks. One of its competitors, the R3, starts at 995. Your tires are 1200 bucks, think about it. A lighter helmet (Bell M4 Pro) is a very good idea if you don't have a head and neck restraint.
Insulating tape in a contrasting color to your paint to make numbers on the car
Towels are nice to wipe up after the session
Figure out the FM frequency of the track announcements for your radio. You can listen to these easily when on the track then.
Turn off air conditioning on the track
`0% HP Drain. Plus, the compressor doesn't like being spun at 6k+ RPMs.
Don't wear red/yellow or black sweaters/t-shirts
These are flag colors and you won't be allowed on corners wearing them. Try white or blue.
Make your first lap a medium one with generous braking
Make sure everything is working. Start slow, speed up as the session goes on, small steps in terms of increasing speed.
Drive slow and first and stay slow for a few sessions.
If you whack your car then you aren't getting any better. Drive within your ability focusing on line, turn in, braking etc. Don't give in to speed up until the last day. The fastest people seem to be the ones going slowest for longest.
Abuse your instructor.
Use them as much as you can. Listen to them, ask questions, slow down when they tell you to, they really are better than you. There is a reason that they are in the right seat and you aren't.
Ride with the instructor.
Very good for the line and how the car feels when the line is right. Ask questions (at appropriate times) as you complete lap after lap.
OBD II reader.
I bought mine at Walmart. It's handy if the light does come on just to see what it is. Check this forum and get the code to text page so you'll know what the codes mean.
Find an auto shop with a racer.
It's worth paying a little more for that advice and knowing you got the right stuff the first time. Especially from someone who "understands"...
Spare Brake fluid
Bring a bottle of your brake fluid with you. Walmart won't have racing brake fluid.
Spare brake pads and tools to change them

"Thanks for the photos, and I hope your season is going well. Mike Johnson of NDGFP gave a nice presentation to the AHM Working Group of almost exactly what you showed me in September; stacks of tiles waiting to be installed, ditched wetlands, and incredible expansion of draining efforts. With changes in Farm Bill, it was nothing but doom and gloom."
Sorry no one seems to care, but I guess if they don't care about illegal immigration how could they possible care about draining the last of the prairie! Most of the draining is illegal and completly ignored by the Fedral government who is in charge of stopping the illegal practice.
Organizations with a governmental presence should be ashamed of themselves. The threats of not paying farmers more than three years preventive plant is the main reason so many farmers are illegally draing habitat. See how you woukld like to loose your revenue off of land that you own and is called farmland! Pull the CRP and now tell the farmers even the land to wet to farm is going to be pulled from the program. THESE POLICYS SAY "GOOD BYE DUCK HUNTING

Hi Guys, new to this forum. Very good possibility I will be relocating to the Atlanta area this summer, looking primarily in and around Cherokee County. I'm an avid duck hunter where I currently live and hunt 20-30 days each season. Got the boat, dog, decoys, guns, waders, layout blinds, calls, flags, mojos, the whole nine yards so I'm not a newby - but I know how these kind of chat posts come across to everyone. Here goes anyway - Where would one have to go around Cherokee County to get some decent hunting action come duck season? I hunt the Ohio River regularly so am not afraid of big water if that's where you have to go. Like to hunt farm ponds and fields for geese too if I can find a spot that doesn't get too much pressure. Willing to travel a ways to go where the action is, but have no idea what direction that might be. Any information you can provide would be helpful.
I'm also looking for a DU Chapter in the area to get involved with. Been treasurer for my current chapter for last 6 years. We do an annual banquet that nets over $25,000 annually, so I'd like to get involved with an active chapter if there is one locally.
Lastly, are there many places to shoot trap and/or sporting clays in the area? My boys shoot trap for the ATA/AIM program and they want to keep doing that if possible. I've done a Google search and found a few places but not very close to Cherokee County. I know the couple of sportsmen's clubs we belong to in Kentucky don't really have an "internet presence" if you know what I mean. Hopefully I can find a similar place to shoot locally.
Again, thanks for any information you can share.

"Heartbreaker moves along at a racehorse pace, its plot swerving and darting with sudden turns and jolts.... Garwood's characters are well drawn." (New York Post)
Totally addicted to Audible.
"Fun and Funny"
Some of the most delightful characters are found in this book. I want more of them. The narration is wonderful. The story about Lois nearly tickled me silly.
Say something about yourself!
"Too Juvenile, Just Couldn't Get Through It!"
Got this book on sale use one credit, get two books. The reviews looked promising stating it was a chiller with romance and humor, which can work together when you have a good, grown-up plot and funny lines. I am not finding this to be the case with this book. I should have known when one of the grown-up characters was named Tommy:) Sorry Garwood lovers....
"Great story!!!!!"
I like the narrator when she does her women voices the men not so much, love Garwood and her stories this one as well as Mercy have a bite the story is suspenseful enough that keeps it interesting, yes I would recommend this to other people, I can even see this made into a movie.
A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies... The man who never reads lives only one. ~George R.R. Martin
"FBI to the rescue."
I am huge fan of Julie Garwood's older books and I like her newer stuff, just not as much as I enjoyed her Highlander or Regency books. This book is good but I wouldn't say great. I didn't connect with the characters as well as I would have liked. I have a hard time when the main characters are lacking any flaws. One thing that annoyed me is that we never hear the stories being told about Nick and Tommy only that there are stories and that they were funny. Maybe she was going for heartwarming and not funny because I didn't laugh. Narrator was okay, the recording had a few instances where the sound would drop, it usually only last a couple of seconds.
"The Formula Reigns"
First, I enjoyed this book and Tanya Eby's performance with exception of her attempts at a French accent. Julie Garwood's writing made the rather predictable plot enjoyable. However, I've tired of the worn out character devices--The beautiful, sexy, young woman is sucked into love with a virtual stranger who is overwhelmed with lust. The lust translate to irrational overprotectiveness, blah, blah, blah. The lust affair interrupted the flow of the story while adding little to move the plot forward. It is unlikely that I'll purchase any more books by this author.
"No struggle here."
If you were following my pitiful reviews you will know I have had a few disappointing books. Been trying to decide what has been driving me up the wall. Maybe it is the narrators who just read it to me. Whoever this one was took the time to draw the picture of the voices with hers. Impressive. Really good book.
"Couldn't finish it"
Story was weak, narrator awful!.
Won't be wasting anymore credits from this author or narrator.
"Cliched, terrible dialogue, awful narration"
"A chicken dinner with all of the trimmings," "he looked like a Greek god" -- need I say more?
"Not Garwood's Best"
The book itself is not Garwood's best. There is a lot of editorial issues For example one character refers to a pair of sheets instead of a set of sheets. There are a lot of other such problems. Beyond that, there is way too much unnecessary narration that doesn't add to or carry the story.
This makes for a mediocre story way less than the quality expected from Ms. Garwood.
Add to that a horrible performance of the narration. The heroine starts out having a little accent that is even referred to in the narration, but very quickly the accent goes away and never comes back. For the rest of the book her voice is simply Miss Bedroom voice.
The male voices are horrid. Nothing else can be said about them.
The narration pulls the already mediocre story into the 2 star rating.
"Good story, terrible narrator"
The story is great, I love Julie Garwood. But this narrator is horrible! Her cadence is extremely annoying. Literally had to force myself to continue listening because I wanted to find out what happened but I hated the narrator so badly. Will make a point to never buy another audiobook she does.

I recently got an interview with a company called H&S Korea Corp., a recruiting agency that pairs teachers with a host institution in Seoul. They are supposed to contact me tomorrow to answer my questions and set up a time for the interview. However, my research on them has yielded very little information (their Web site does not appear to be functioning).
Has anyone ever heard of this company? Based on my research, they seem to have been recruiting for a number of years now, but it seems strange that they don't have a working Web site. If anyone knows anything about them I would appreciate some insight.

Product Description
Super-High MOI in a Perimeter-weighted Mallet
Spider Mallet offers tremendous heel-toe weighted stability, thanks to its multi-material construction, in a stunningly beautiful shape. Counterbalancing the heavy head with a 130-gram grip increases the MOI of the entire club. According to our Tour Staff pros, that helps make it easier to keep the head moving on your intended path to promote increased accuracy.
Spider Mallet is available in two lengths, 38 and 35". The idea is to grip the club as you would a normal-length putter, with two or three inches of the butt-end of the grip extended above your hands, which gives you the maximum benefit of counterbalancing. Thus, if you normally play a 35" putter you should opt for the 38"; if you play a 33" putter should use the 35"; if you play a 34" putter you can experiment with both the 35 and 38" to find which you prefer
- Tremendously high MOI in a beautifully shaped mallet-style head—3874—for outstanding twist-resistance and distance-control on off-center hits.
- 130-gram grip counterbalances head-weight to help you swing the head smoothly and on path.
- Counter-balanced Spider Mallet is 50% more stable based on overall club MOI values than a traditional putter.
- PureRoll Surlyn® insert promotes soft-yet-solid feel and smooth roll straight off the face.
- White leading edge and linear alignment aid in the cavity make aiming easy.
- Single bend shaft.

German Shepherd Dog Forums (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/)
- Training Our Puppy (basic) (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/training-our-puppy-basic/)
- - Is there an average crate training time? (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/training-our-puppy-basic/391954-there-average-crate-training-time.html)
Is there an average crate training time?
Our 9 week old male came home 2 days ago. He was with 2 sisters as the breeders still, one left the night before we picked him up, and one the same morning, so he's never been alone before. He's not ALONE, we have a female 8 month old shepherd, but crate wise. How many days/weeks is typically average for them to not cry all night in the crate? Our female was older (14 weeks) when we brought her home so she only cried 2 nights and it wasn't the entire night. Our two smaller dogs were different, they were bottle fed by us from 7 days old and were in the bathroom and then transitioned to the crate sometime after they were a month old. They also cried for 2 or 3 nights, but they also had each other so it wasn't all night long.
Anyway, both nights he has cried the ENTIRE night. I'm not complaining, I know this comes along with getting a new puppy, but I was just wondering if it's going to abruptly stop or if he will cry less and less. The other dogs just suddenly didn't care anymore after a few days. But they also didn't cry the entire night, just a few hours. I let him outside to go bathroom, the first night he did not the first time, and did the second time. Last night he went both times. That only seemed to help for maybe 30 minutes, so I'm wondering if there is anything else I can do to make it easier for him since it's not solely needing to potty. I've also only had females so maybe males are just different :)
All puppies are different.
Some puppies take to their crate right away and never have an issue. That would be my Sinister. :wub:
Some puppies take a while to adjust to their crate, they tolerate it but they don't really like it.
Some puppies hate the crate and no matter how long they stay in there, they will scream, bark, whine and body slam the crate trying to get out. That would be my Draco. :crazy:
Yep he seems to be the latter! Our female cried for quite awhile the first night, the second night she actually didn't make a sound. We live on post right next to the airfield, so the third night there was a large plane landed idling so they third night she whined for awhile because I think the noise was a little scary for her, but that was the last time she ever made a noise. But she was also 5 weeks older than him at the time and I think her kennel with her brother and sisters was outside at that breeder. Hopefully he at least gets a LITTLE better in the next few days, I'd love to get a little sleep before school starts again :) haha
I can't directly answer your question because I don't think there is a concrete answer, as previously stated, all dogs are different. However, I can share our recent experience. New pup New Years day. Most of the siblings were still with the breeder, No prior crate experience, etc.
We have him in a 38" crate. I did not want to try and divide it. He has bedding and about 3 stuffed animals in the crate with him at all times. The crate is right beside our bed. I lay my house clothes over it in hopes he will notice my scent. I also put my socks in front of the crate just out of reach for the scent. I don't know if any of that makes any difference but I want him to know my scent as we are currently bonding, bonding, bonding.
This is our first male dog, all others have been female.
1st night, he cried for quite a while, not all night. He woke up about 2:30am and started crying. I sat on the side of the bed until he settled down, then we went out and pee'd. He woke me again at 6:30 am. I sat on the edge of the bed until he stopped crying, we went out and pee'd and pooped.
2nd night, He cried for 10-15 minutes, then settled down. He cried a little sometime in the night and I fell back asleep on him. He cried again about 6am, when he settled, I let him out and we pee'd and pooped.
3rd night, He whimpered a little, settled down and woke me about 6:30am.
Each day I have been putting him in the crate when I shower because I can't watch him. Blood curdling cries each time but settles down in a few minutes. Today when I crated him for my shower, silence. When I got out and got my socks on, which is always a challenge if he is in the room, I opened the crate door and he laid in there 5-10 more minutes before he came out.
I have to say this is probably the easiest crate train I've done, the last dog was pretty darn good but I think Dagr has been just a little easier.

I just looked into getting the correct tackle twill fabric from the Webster Fabrics and contrary to what they say about a 5 yard minimum on their website the minumum is 25 yards for the plain GREYISH fabric. It is $6.50 a yard. Would anyone be interested in pooling our resourses and doing a group buy? LMK and we can do this.

Home > News & Events > Events Calendar > Opting Out among Women with Elite Education: Evidence, Causes, and Societal Consequences
Joni Hersch, Professor of Law and Economics, Vanderbilt
Hersch's research shows that female graduates of elite institutions have lower labor market involvement than their counterparts from less selective institutions, with the gap most pronounced among those with children, and especially among mothers with an MBA. This talk will provide recent evidence on opting out among women with elite education and examine the role of differences in preferences as well as economic factors in explaining the greater tendency of elite graduates to have lower labor market activity. We will also address societal consequences of reduced labor market activity among women graduates of elite institutions on prospects for women to advance through the professions, whether workplace inflexibility is an important barrier to women's professional advancement, and implications for intergenerational equity.
Lunch will be provided.
An RSVP is not required as this is an open event.

Reviews of this property
We really enjoyed our stay at Villa Ribar. The apartment is perfectly located in the quiet harbour area of Podgora. Especially the terrace on the front side is brilliant. That was the place that we used most. The apartment itself is very good suited for a big family or two families. Wifi internet connection was really good, kitchen well equipped and with four bedrooms and three bathrooms you have all you need.
Having the nice coffee bar Nola as neighboor was no problem. And close by you will find a very good fish restaurant, Klemic. At last we must not forget the very service oriented and kind hostess, Mirta, who really gave us excellent service.
We have no problems coming back to Podgora and Villa Ribar and to recommend both the apartment and Podgora to others.
We really enjoyed this place and atmosphere. Good Space for a big family. Nice terrace and balcony. We got everything we needed, nice litle beaches,shops restaurant etc. Loveley Place for children
The nice hostess Mirta was really helpfull and serviceminded. We all agrreed that this was not Our last time in Podgora and hopefully Villa Ribar again.

Reviews for this host's other properties
The apartment was really lovely with everything you need. It's beautiful, practical and really clean. A bonus was two terraces and two toilets. Mirta and her family are really servicemindet and great people. We got help when we needed it, and they solved our problems with a smile and good service. Every question or request we had they answered and we got a lot of tips/advice what to see and explore in this beautiful country. Podgora is a friendy and beautiful city with a lot of beaches and nice restaurants. The people are serviceminded and smiling, and we fall in love with both the apartment and Podgora. We can really recommend to rent apartment with this host! Mirta - we're coming back next year!!! Thank you for all your help and always with a big smile!!!
It was our first time in Dalmatia. The Directions Podgora was good to see. After telephone contact we were picked up at the port.
The apartment is located in the second row right on the harbor. A short walk through vegetable gardens led us to the house in a quiet prime location. For a car parking space at the port was taken care of. The family helped us with our luggage, so it was a nice holiday feeling really from the beginning. As a welcome gift waiting for a bottle of good, slightly sparkling wine on us.
The description of the apartment is absolutely true, and does not promise too much. There is next to the bathroom, a second toilet, so that four can be no blockage in the bathroom. For families with children the hotel is therefore also very suitable. The kitchenette is well equipped and has electric and gas cooking facilities and an oven.
The refrigerator is designed for large and self-catered.
There are two balconies, one on the sunny side and one with evening sun
The hosts are very friendly and helpful. For problems and questions about the area and excursions you are always at your disposal.
The beaches in the surrounding area are well maintained and to reach in a short time on foot. In the harbor and along the promenade all things find for the daily needs and adjacent thereto a lively area with hotels and bars.
All in all a very well-rounded. We think now that we want to come back.
Thank you for a wonderful time!
Es war unser erster Aufenthalt in Dalmatien. Mit der Wegbeschreibung war Podgora gut zu finden. Nach telefonischem Kontakt wurden wir am Hafen abgeholt.
Das Appartement befindet sich in zweiter Reihe direkt am Hafen. Ein kurzer Fußweg durch Gemüsegärten führte uns zu dem Haus in ruhiger hervorragender Lage. Für einen KFZ-Stellplatz am Hafen war gesorgt. Die Familie half uns mit den Koffern, so dass es wirklich von Anfang an ein schönes Urlaubsgefühl war. Als Willkommensgruß wartete eine Flasche guter, leicht prickelnder Wein auf uns.
Die Beschreibung des Appartements ist absolut zutreffend und verspricht wirklich nicht zuviel. Es gibt neben dem Bad noch eine zweite Toilette, so dass auch zu viert kein Stau im Bad auftreten kann. Für Familien mit Kindern ist die Unterkunft also auch sehr gut geeignet. Die Küchenzeile ist gut ausgestattet und verfügt über Elektrische und Gaskochgelegenheiten, sowie einen Backofen.
Der Kühlschrank ist groß und für Selbstverpflegung ausgelegt.
Es gibt zwei Balkone: Einen auf der Sonnenseite und einen mit Abendsonne
Die Gastgeber sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Bei Problemen und Fragen zur Umgebung und Ausflugszielen stehen sie jederzeit zur Verfügung.
Die Strände in der näheren Umgebung sind sehr gepflegt und in kurzer Zeit zu Fuß zu erreichen. Im Hafen und an der Promenade finden sich alle Dinge für den täglichen Bedarf und angrenzend daran ein lebhafter Bereich mit Hotels und Bars.
Alles in Allem eine sehr runde Sache. Wir überlegen schon jetzt, dass wir wieder kommen wollen.
Danke für eine schöne Zeit !
as a first time in Dalmatia okay apartment, very well, comfortable with 2 bathrooms, clean, plenty of air and cool at night, convenient to the center just 5 minutes, shame about the car park a short distance, inconvenient for people like us use often the 'car to see so many other beaches nearby, the rest all fine and good price, the owner friendly and helpful, cheerful and lively village in the evening, at night you sleep beautifully in peace, for next year I think maybe come back again here by Mirta , Gino greetings
come prima volta in Dalmazia tutto ok, appartamento molto bene, comodo con 2 bagni, pulito, molta aria e fresco di sera, comodo per il centro a soli 5 minuti, peccato per il parcheggio auto un poco lontano, scomodo per chi come noi usa spesso l' auto per vedere tante altre spiagge vicine, del resto tutto bene e buon prezzo, titolare cordiale e disponibile, paese vivace ed allegro di sera, di notte si dorme magnificamente in tranquillità, per prossimo anno penso forse di ritornare ancora qui da Mirta, saluti Gino

Welcome to Golden Goals - a FREE video series on USA.Arsenal.com which showcases some of the finest goals in Arsenal's history.
Each of our weekly clips will feature footage of a classic goal plus expert analysis from former Gunner Stewart Robson and Arsenal.com editor Richard Clarke.
Our series continues with a sublime strike by Dennis Bergkamp against Tottenham in 1996.
Read on for the story of his goal and click the PLAY button above to watch our FREE video clip.
Dennis Bergkamp v Tottenham (H) 11-24-1996
Dennis Bergkamp makes his second appearance in our series by putting the finishing touches on a win in a rain-soaked North London derby.
After a bad run of games, culminating in a narrow defeat to Manchester United, Arsenal needed a big win. And with Spurs visiting Highbury, the time was right to get back on track.
An Ian Wright penalty kick gave the Gunners a lead in 28th minute, but Spurs managed to equalize on Andy Sinton's bobbling, long-range effort just before the hour-mark.
It looked like another disappointing draw until the 88th minute when Tony Adams saved the day with a fierce left-foot strike.
Tottenham were shell-shocked but Arsenal, and particularly Bergkamp, weren't done yet.
Wright, wide on the right-hand side, pirouetted away from Ruel Fox and sent a high, looping cross towards the far post. At such a tight angle there seemed to be little opportunity to add to Arsenal's lead.
But this was Bergkamp.
His first touch was truly sublime. He controlled the high delivery with his left foot, and easily evaded Stephen Carr to set himself up perfectly for the strike. As anyone would expect, the finish was perfect.
The Iceman was always a cool customer when it came to showing his emotion, but this celebration was complete with knee-sliding and fist-clenching. And that celebration confirmed the importance of a derby goal.

Corning Community College will host Jamie Nabozny and screen his personal documentary: the movie Bullied on Monday, February 10, 2014 at 11:50 a.m.–1:15 p.m. on the Spencer Hill Campus in the Commons Building, Triangle Lounge. This event is free and open to the public.
Students and community members are invited to meet Jamie Nabozny and view his personal documentary, Bullied: A Student, a School and a Case that Made History. The film will be followed by a question and answer session with Jamie. He will also be available to talk with students after the program.
The documentary shows how Nabozny courageously stood up for his rights. He filed a lawsuit against the district and school officials, which led to an important court decision that public school officials had to protect all students from bullies, even those who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender (LGBT).
Jamie Nabozny grew up in Ashland, a small town in northern Wisconsin on the south shore of Lake Superior. His life changed drastically when he was targeted in middle school for being gay. His years of harassment ended with a beating that put him in the hospital and required abdominal surgery. Jamie then moved to Minneapolis. After realizing that many other young people endured similar fates, he decided to fight back.
With the help of Lambda Legal Defense and Education Fund, Jamie won a landmark lawsuit in Federal court that establishes that all young people including those who are gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender deserve a safe educational experience. The Southern Poverty Law Center produced a documentary titled Bullied that chronicles his life. Jamie now speaks out for the millions of kids bullied in our schools every day. He travels the country and shares his story so that no child has to endure what he endured. Jamie was recently named a Defender of Human Rights by the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice and Human Rights.
This program is sponsored by CCC Student Activities & Social Sciences Department. For additional information, please contact: Deb Prutsman, Coordinator of Student Activities, at 607-962-9476 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Hey all!
I just got a new set of four Dunlop tires for my 650 Rincon Honda. Three of the four went on good and hold air fine. However, the 4th (rear) tire leaks all of the air out. I am wondering if anyone knows what might be going on.
Some variables that I can get out of the way...
- The tire is a 25X10X12 - the proper size for that rim and that atv
- The tire leaks from two spots... there are two little holes in the rim just inside the bead that look like they were drilled. The holes are 180 degrees apart, and on both sets of rims. Not certain why Honda put them there, as that is the place the tire leaks from.
- the tires appears to be seated correctly and does not lead anywhere else from the rim. There are no holes in the tires and no gap in the tire valve.
Anyone know what might be going on? Does anyone have a Honda ATV that can tell me why the two little holes are in the rim? How do I fix this problem? I would rather not buy a tube, but will if need be.
