Online tutorials are easy to find if you're looking to learn how to draw. All you need to do is look around and finding sources of tutorials should be easy. The Internet is full of options when it comes to online drawing tutorials, so take a look at them and find one that is easy to understand and that gives you the best chance to learn how to do it yourself. While in the past you needed to go to art school or learn how to do it yourself, maybe with the help of some books, now there are huge amounts of information available that you can use to learn how to draw whatever you want.
First of all, online you will find a huge variety of drawing tutorials, teaching you how to do every single thing, from different types of objects, to people or natural events. Because different people will enjoy drawing different things, the variety of tutorials you will find is huge, which is great for anyone that wants to learn how to draw. Among many other things, you can learn how to draw people, cartoon characters, trees, animals and so on. Whatever your interest might be, there is a very good chance that you will find online tutorials that will teach you how to do it.
The second thing about online drawing tutorials is that they're free. You don't have to pay for them and you can use as many of them as you want. The sites where you can find them are free and don't require memberships, so take a look around and find some sites that offer you free online drawing tutorials. You will receive step by step instructions, without paying a dime for them, something that isn't possible if you go to art classes.
These tutorials also save you a lot of time, since you can get quick tips exactly when you need them and you can do it from your own house, if you have an Internet connection.
These sites that offer tutorials are also places where people that enjoy drawing talk to each other about their hobby, so it's a great place to make new friends that have the same interests as you.
It doesn't matter if you're an adult or a kid when it comes to drawing. Almost everyone would love to learn how to do it, but not everyone can do it on their own. While some people manage to do it without help from others, just by following tutorials they find online or by reading some books, the truth is that they would still benefit from going to an art school. Even if you already know how to draw a bit, going to classes which are taught by a professional would benefit you and you would learn a lot from it. Natural talent is great if you have it, but you will truly grow only if you get instructions on how to get every single line right and make your drawings as realistic as possible.
Some people enjoy drawing people, some like animals and others enjoy drawing cartoons and comics. Whatever your pleasure might be, an art school will take you to the basics first and make sure you know what they are. An art school allows you to learn how to do sketches and how to draw, which allows you to put on paper whatever interests you. Even though art schools aren't the only thing available to you these days, if you're serious about drawing and you want to fulfill a dream, they're your best bet. Instead of using online tutorials that teach you little and they make it hard since you're on your own, you should pick an art school that is close to you and go to some courses.
In art school, you will learn from artists and professors which know how to teach and make it easy to learn new skills. If you want to create your own comics and sketches and you want to publish them eventually, an art school is a must. You might need a bit of talent as well, but an art school will help you make the most of it and if you have some good ideas for your drawings, you could become successful quicker then if you did it on your own, without any professional help.
You might know how to draw a bit already, but an art school will allow you to draw anything, from mountains, to landscapes, trees, rivers, birds and realistic people. I know that many have problems drawing people's faces and this is one of the problems that can be fixed with the help of courses taken at an art school.
Hyung-tae Kim is a successful artist of Korean origins, well known for his contributions to the video game industry, thanks to this work in the field and the characters that he created for games like the War of Genesis or Magna Carta, which were released by Softmax. Hyung-tae Kim was born in Seoul, Korea, in February, 1978.
His first work in the video games industry was done in the background music field, but he eventually moved on to design. In time he also did work for comic books, both as a contributor to Udon street fighter comics and as an artist that did guest covers.
Right now, Hyung-tae Kim is part of the NCsoft Korean company and working on the Blade & Soul MMORPG, which is a fantasy game with Asian martial arts that is heavily influenced by the Korean culture. Even though he is the art director for the game, Hyung-tae Kim still does most of artwork which is released to promote the game.
At the same time, it seems that Hyung-tae Kim is working with SoftMax as well, as some of the characters from Magna Carta 2 which were released to the public are designed by him.
The style used by Hyung-tae Kim for his artwork is called manhwa. Hyung-tae Kim basically draws his characters while disregarding the accuracy of the human anatomy, choosing to go after a certain feel for the character that he's working on. He tends to exaggerate the female look and he promotes the masculinity. Usually his characters will be designed somewhere between the emphasis that the Western artists place on details and muscles and the minimal lines used by Japanese artists. He chooses to create a character that looks as appealing as possible, even though that might mean that they're designed in a way that has little in common with the way a real human looks like. The curves on his characters feel right, but they don't always have real world logic.


text: Well like many I have seen, I as well am new to this, and I mean VERY new. I wish I had known of these things when I was in my 20's. However I now have the chance to be my favored character of all times in SW.. the Fett man. I have talked with a man who is also a part of the 501st at DCC this past weekend, in detail. Getting me off to a good start. I am wanting to create a ROTJ Boba Fett. And it seems it is very daunting task. But Im making a list of everything I need to every detail and get pieces at time. I have been trying to watch posts about being scammed or not rushing into orders, knowing what particular items in different makes and styles I need. This will indeed be a task. Also I noted I have to make 5 posts in order to be able to buy anyways..so where we go..wish me luck lol

doesn't any hymn/song/ditty which is sung in praise of Our Lord have a value, albeit an irritating one?The Church has often spoken of "sacred music" as having a particular character. It is difficult to define this precisely, but Pope Benedict (following many of his predecessors) has specified that Gregorian chant and polyphony are particularly worthy for the liturgy. The problem today is that the Church has said that a "suitable hymn" can replace the introit, the offertory antiphon and the communion antiphon. The result is that we have Mass interspersed with hymns that have nothing to do with the liturgical texts. It is relatively rare for the texts of the Mass to be sung either in English or in Latin. The bishops are supposed to approve a list of "suitable hymns" but well over 30 years on, there is no sign of such a list.
Popular devotional hymns were sometimes sung at Low Mass during the Offertory and after Communion. There was always some dispute about the suitability of doing so; Martin Mosebach criticised the practice in his book "The Heresy of Formlessness". The popular hymns (such as those of Faber, for example) were written for devotional services, not Mass.
One of the things that helped to kill off these devotional services was Evening Mass. If a parish had all its Masses in the morning, it was quite reasonable to have a devotional service, or Benediction, or Vespers (or Compline) in the evening. Now it is Mass with everything and everything with Mass.
If people really like "I watch the sunrise", perhaps we should arrange 1970s devotions. We could sing "Colours of Day" and "Walk with me O my Lord" as well, wear U-necked tank tops, long hair and flared trousers. The advantage would be that nobody would have to go in order to fulfil the precept of attending Sunday Mass.
It is also important to say that not every hymn "in praise of Our Lord" has value. "I watch the sunrise" is not heretical but some hymns written in recent years are. ("I am with you in this bread and wine", "he comes to me in sharing bread and wine" etc.) It is worth remembering that the arch heretic Arius spread his false doctrine by popular hymns.

Because of persistent rain showers, Elizabethtown and Rineyville has been forced to reschedule their July 4th celebrations.
Elizabethtown Events Coordinator Sarah Vaughn said a new date for the Founders' Day Celebration should be firmed up by Friday.
"We don't know yet," Vaughn said. "We've got to figure that out."
The city initially announced it would reschedule the Founders' Day events Friday, July 12, but Vaughn said doing so would put it in direct competition with the weeklong Hardin County Fair.
Vaughn said all events, including the culminating fireworks display Thursday, will be rescheduled.
Rineyville officials announced Rumble Over Rineyville is postponed until Friday. The event is scheduled for 9:30 p.m. at the Rineyville Community Ballpark.
Based on the forecast, Fort Knox decided Wednesday to cancel its fireworks display on the Fourth. Other activities were moved from Brooks Field to Sadowski Center on Wilson Road from 4 to 8 p.m. today.
The post asks that guests enter by the Wilson Road gate.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I am running the 64-bit version of Ubuntu 11.04 on a system that has the following specs. My problem is with the Asus Xonar Essence STX sound card, which works fine on my dual-boot Windows 7.
- Intel Core i7
- Asus Xonar Essence STX
- AMD Radeon HD 5750
- Onboard Intel HDA sound card
- USB Microsoft Lifecam with a microphone
- Edirol USB audio interface (this shows up as one of the audio cards)
The Natty install recognizes the Asus sound card but I cannot get it to play either with the headphones or through the S/PDIF interface to my speakers. I would love to know how to get this to work.
Amen to the problems with AMD / ATI's drivers Linux drivers. I've tried to use it but basically gave up for a fundamental reason. Somehow the drivers screw up the display so that ordinary text becomes hard to read and I see blurred, botched-up text.
BTW, your site is great. I stumbled upon it (not StumbleUpon!) while doing a search for a solution to a sound card problem, which I will post in another thread.
|I bought a new router (Linksys E3000) and installed Tomato-USB Ext on it. After enabling SSH, I remembered another thing Windows lacks: an SSH client! Then I proceeded to install PuTTy.
|I'm leaning toward Linux now. I found a book on cross-platform development: http://www.amazon.com/Cross-Platform.../dp/1584503793. It covers development for PC, Mac, XBox, Playstation 2, and Gamecube, I believe. It is very thorough, while perhaps a teensy bit outdated (published in 2005).
I used to run [email protected] SMP inside a Ubuntu VM INSIDE Windows 7, because I got better performance than running the native Windows version of program. Once Pande Group updated their beta level program code and released a newer version, things flopped the other way around. They also changed what libraries they used, which made a huge difference for the windows program just by itself..
Dunno really. Pick one of a dozen games out there, you'll find many of the actual game servers multiplayer games are hosted on linux machines, others use windows server. Just comes down to the program itself and how you chose to optimize it for the given OS.
I will ask a noob-esque question. Are memory & CPU hungry programs faster in Linux than in Windoze?
From the that day long long ago & far far away, back when I had a real job & a friend of mine a few cubes away *put* a naked Pamela Anderson on my X-windows display (it was a wonder that he didn't kill himself from the strain of the laughter), I have always felt and heard that Unix/Linux programs could run more efficiently, aka faster, in anything that wasn't from Microsoft.
Back then a naive internet search for info on the HP PA5000 Risc processor would instantly pop up photos "PA 5000" which were of that busty bare blond. Ahhh, the good old days ... .. .
If anyone's interested, here a couple other books I recommend:
Hacking: the Art of Exploitation
As stated in the text, this book does not advocate doing anything illegal, though the knowledge is the same in the end. In addition to thorough tutorials in C and intel x86 assembly,it Includes detailed explanations and code for:
buffer / stack / heap based overflows
format string vulnerabilities
writing shellcode
sniffing switched and unswitched networks
tcp / ip hijacking
denial of service
port scanning and tricking port scans of your own computer
password cracking
Man in the middle attacks
Wireless internet security / hacking
and more
As they say, knowing your enemy is key to defeating him. It's a cornucopia of knowledge. I highly recommend it.
Then back to the game programming, Programming Game AI by example: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/155...pf_rd_i=507846.
A detailed tutorial in AI design.
I actually do have an idea for a game. I don't want to post it here for obvious reasons -- not that I don't trust this site's regulars, but I don't want it splashed across the web.
This particular game would be an RPG, I believe. If I got enough people to help me, I'd like it to be pretty fancy.
It bugs me that I would have to leave here to get into game design It's not like New Brunswickers are only capable of sitting in call centres doing tech support. That's basically what the state of things here implies. So it'd be cool if we could just do it ourselves!
Here's one of the books I ordered: http://www.amazon.com/Primer-Graphic...=3A8TDQNR87X8W. This one is game math. I figure I'll read this one first.
Second, DirectX10 Programming: http://www.amazon.com/Introduction-3...=3A8TDQNR87X8W.
And then for something completely unrelated, Linux Kernel development: http://www.amazon.com/Linux-Kernel-D...=3A8TDQNR87X8W.

Nothing says you couldn't try to see if coding under Linux would be fine or not, however. You could just pack it up and go to Windows if need be *shudder*.
Glad to hear you want to be a game developer though What kind of games are you thinking? Indie, or big-blockbusters? Any ideas for a game yet?
That URL didn't work for me unfortunately. All I see is, well, nothing.
If it weren't for gaming, I'd ditch Microsoft entirely I think. I'm trying to get into game programming, and DirectX appears to be the superior choice. I wonder if I could still develop on Linux for Windows? It might be difficult. There's always SDL, but I'm not sure I want to go that route.
I just ordered a few books on game programming, and one on Linux kernel development. Check 'em out here: http://amzn.com/w/3A8TDQNR87X8W. I love this kind of stuff.
I'm sort of hoping I can get into game development. Too bad there's none in New Brunswick. My dream scenario would be me and some of my cohorts doing our own. Failing that, I'd like to go to British Columbia or Quebec (there are booming game industries in both these provinces). This is an idea I have, at any rate.
I haven't tried Gnome 3.0 yet, either. I'm curious, though concerned that they may have sacrificed functionality for this.
|Rob Williams
I don't think I'd ever use a tabbed file manager (I haven't in the past), but I could see how it'd be useful, and should be there. Can also agree on the mounting of ISOs, though thankfully a few easy-to-use and free tools exist for that.
Performance-wise, I don't think there would be a huge difference. At the end of the day, GNOME 3 is still a shell that sits atop requires libraries (GTK+). Windows is much the same, with Explorer.exe (close it, and the entire desktop environment goes with it). It's true that GNOME 3 would have an advantage in that GTK+ is built around its inherent environment, but performance-wise, Ubuntu could easily adopt the same base libraries and code its own environment.
This isn't to say that one performs better than the other, however, but that might be a little tough to test. Compiz is the biggest killer of performance, especially when lower-end graphics cards are concerned - or poor drivers. I had experienced rather poor performance on an AMD Radeon HD 5970 with Compiz under Unity, and I suspect drivers have a lot to do with that. I got fed up with that GPU screwing up an older MMO I play, so I plopped an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 in here, and will test Unity again to see if things like Wobbly Windows performs better.
I wouldn't worry too much about performance in general, though. At the end of the day, both environments are rather "bloated" compared to their old counterparts (same with KDE 4 vs. KDE 3, but it still runs great).
Hey Rob,
Have you had the chance to use Gnome 3.0 yet? If so, how does it compare to Unity? They look relatively similar, and seem to have the same overall goal in mind. I'd also imagine that since Unity is a shell running on top of Gnome 2.x, while Gnome 3.0 is its own environment, that Gnome 3.0 would perform better and be more efficient overall. Is this the case?
|Oh, I forgot an important one: Why doesn't Windows Explorer have tabbed browsing?!
Yeah, I think drivers are definitely the major problem with Linux. Fix that, and it would be perfect. Well, maybe not perfect, but close!
After using Windows 7, which is really amazing in some ways, I remember why I like Linux/GNU so much. It's free, unrestricted, and has so many tools. Of course, Microsoft may justify the exclusion of some of these tools with the fact that most people wouldn't use them. I use them though. Why can't Windows 7 mount iso's? Why no checksumming utility, etc?
|Rob Williams
If Linux had better GPU drivers, I don't think a lot of the issues that exist graphics-wise would. Windows Vista was able to be released with GPU support right out of the box because both AMD and NVIDIA pour most of their development time into that OS, as they should. On Linux, we're always waiting for better graphics support, although as far as I'm concerned, AMD has been the biggest hold-up. Until maybe a year ago, its Linux drivers were horrible, whereas NVIDIA's has been for the most part rock-stable for eons (there are still minor niggles, but there are for Windows as well).

Senator John McCain insists his views on fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan represent the ideas of our fighting men and women, but recent figures on which candidate is receiving the most financial donations indicates the Arizona senator lags far behind. Between January through March of this year, anti-war candidate Ron Paul received the largest amount of money donated by military personnel, a total of $201,271. According to Jesse Benton, speaking for Rep. Paul: "I think they're sick and tied of being sent overseas on these police actions and getting caught in the middle of these civil wars, and want someone like Ron Paul speaking sense."
Senator John McCain received $132,133, but, his major Democratic opponent, Senator Barack Obama, received nearly one-third more money by obtaining $178,456. Senator Hillary Clinton received $85,000. Massie Ritsch, of the Center for Responsive Politics noted: "To see to anti-war candidates getting more money from the people fighting the war or providing support for the war effort was surprising to us."
The figures are based on donations of at least $200 so it is possible those sending in $10 or $25 might be supporting Senator McCain. The bottom line is there has been a notable switch on the part of many servicemen away from complete support for Republicans who toe the Bush line. I guess most servicemen and women simply don't want to be fighting in Afghanistan ten or twenty or a hundred years from now.

|From my experience the sensors will work exactly how they are supposed to and not cause any issues really about 99% of the time, its that 1% of weird things they can do thats a problem haha
If all of the wheels are using OEM Ford sensor you should just be able to swap the wheels and the TPMS system should not throw a fault. Both my friend and I put our summer wheels back on our cars. He put is stock ST wheels back on and I put my aftermarket wheels back on which I put OEM TPMS sensor in. I forgot to reset the sensors but twice now neither of us have had the TPMS light come on.
Now when I first installed my summer wheels I could not get them to sync, I even have the Ford reset tool. I believe part of the issue was the other set of wheels was to close to the car. When I took them inside I then had no issue getting the sensors to sync. I also had driven the car too, which might have helped.
And that reminds me, I still need to sync the wheels to the car.
|Some Ford dealers will even re-train sensors for free. Since the car should still be under warranty, take it to a Ford dealer. They should set the tire pressures and retrain the sensors for you at no cost. If you're going to be swapping tire sets yearly, you might want to look into getting a TPMS training tool. They're available aftermarket. Tirerack has one for $45 + shipping. http://www.tirerack.com/accessories/...&affiliate=AD4
|Driving the vehicle above 20mph should wake the sensors up. Then if the light doesn't go out, make sure you have the door placard psi in the tires. Then if that still doesn't work, have them relearned at the tire shop.
|Oh, well that changes everything since you never had sensors in your winter wheels. If I had to guess the sensors have been off the car for so long that they are stuck in a sleep mode and won't turn on with the signal from the car. I had a very similar problem the other day, just had to use my TPMS tool to re-activate or "wake up" the sensors and then they started working properly again. Its not a super common problem but it does happen from time to time. Every time you turn your car off it sends a signal to the TPMS sensors to go to sleep mode to save battery power, then when you get back in and start the car it sends a signal to wake the sensors back up. If it stays asleep for too long sometimes they don't like to wake up with the signal from the car.
Yeah the 2013 SHOULD have the valve stem mounted snap-in type TPMS sensors, but I have seen a couple 2013 fords that they still equipped with band sensors, 1 of which happened to be a focus. But that being said you SHOULD have snap-in type TPMS sensors.
And yes its interesting you point out that about the chrysler's, there are some cars that will allow for more than 4 TPMS sensor ID's at a time, some allow 8 and some allow 12. but most only allow for 4. and most people would never realize that some cars could have 3 sets of wheels programmed, but how many people do you know that have 3 sets of wheels for their car AND swap them all out every few months. Not many, especially in the south, alot of people are lucky enough to have 1 set of wheels haha.
|My winters didn't have sensors, so I had the error was displayed all season. They shouldn't be bad, the car isn't even a year old.
The 2013 Focus should have the valve stem mounted TPMS sensor.
Also I know Chrysler in most vehicles allows up to 12 TPMS sensors be programmed to the vehicle. Ford is only 4.
Yeah, that sounds like what happened. When you put the winter wheels on they programmed those sensor ID's to your BCM so that they would work properly. Otherwise like boardliquid said you would have been throwing a TPMS light all winter. Now that you put the summer wheels back on the BCM doesn't recognize the sensor ID's in your summer wheels. I don't think Fords have a standard reset procedure for the TPMS but if you look in your owners manual it will tell you what the relearn procedure is for your car if it has one. Otherwise it will require a TPMS tool to scan and write the sensor ID's to the BCM and most places will do it for free or very little cost. Shouldn't take more than 5 minutes as long as you don't have any problems with the sensors.
Also the sensors can go bad and can be replaced. Ford has favored the band sensor for a long time but over the more recent years has started to move toward the snap-in style TPMS sensors, which are much easier to replace and less chance of breaking it off on the tire machine. but with the snap-in style or the bolt in style the valve stem is actually the antennae for the sensor to ping back and forth with the ECU. with the band sensor it has its own different style antennae. Since you have a 2013 I would have to say you have the snap-in style sensors, even though I have seen VERY few 2013 fords with the band sensors still, they probably have some on the shelf still they need to get rid of haha.
I'm guessing when you had your winter wheels put on, the tire shop added the correct TPMS sensors to your winter wheels. Otherwise you would of had a TPMS fault all winter. These are then programmed to the vehicle.
In this case, all you need to do is reprogram the sensors back to the Body Control Module. This requires a TPMS tool. But I bet if you go to the tire shop that installed them, they'll do it for free. It only takes 1 minute with the TPMS tool.

Friday 25th November 2011
Back in the late Nineties when we first attempted to progress in the Champions League the Club took the decision to play our home games at the old Wembley Stadium. Our record over the couple of seasons wasn't great and many put it down to the fact opposing teams relished the chance to play at arguably the most famous stadium in the world.
For me however, our incredible continuous run in this competition has demonstrated one other massive aspect. The teams and matches we play are unbelievably different to those we see week-in week-out in our domestic league. This of course is something we have learned down the years both on and off the pitch and with this in mind there was definitely a large chunk of naivety back then.
Wednesday night, I feel, could not have been a better example of this fact.
We are used to totally dictating the play in eight or nine games out of ten these days, especially at home, but on those few occasions when perhaps we don't, even if for only part of the game, it is hugely important to work hard, keep our shape, defend well and be patient.
Dortmund and their huge, colourful and noisy travelling support desperately needed a win and fresh from their fine win against Bayern Munich at the weekend I didn't expect anything other than a team taking the game to us in the early stages.
For all their possession and movement however, we limited them to no more than one shot from distance in the whole half. In the latter stages I also felt we were slowly beginning to take control.
As the second half progressed we looked stronger and more threatening going forward but whilst totally appreciating the tireless work Songy does for the team not even the most ardent of us Gooners could have predicted the sheer magic of his assist for our crucial opener!
RVP did the rest of course and that progression to the next stages was almost in the bag.
Back in the days of the famous 'Back Four', Stevie Bould near-post flicks for the likes of TA and Smudger to nod home were a regularity. Tommy's version for RVP to tap home our second brought those memories flooding back!
Through, top of the group and a thoroughly-relaxing trip to the Greek capital on the horizon.
An impressive night, great win and tactically spot on for me.
The perfect way to go into our latest London derby on Saturday evening as we take on Fulham.
Come you mighty reds.

Hi guys! I am pretty darn excited to be able to share these with you! I could say more, but I pretty much say it in the article, so read it and let me know what you think!
Hi guys! I am pretty darn excited to be able to share these with you! I could say more, but I pretty much say it in the article, so read it and let me know what you think!
Wow! Congratulations!
Dang Art that is awesome congrats on the acquisition and thanks for sharing.
Very cool. Nice addition to your collection.
Holy moley! Nice score Art! .....and just in time, as im suculpting my gauntlets currently. May i PM you for more specific measurements? would love tol get mine as close to these as i can!
congrats Art...
Here is the shot that sealed the deal for me. Because these are castings from the inside of the gauntlets, they essentially recreate the original molds... so the questions was whether or not the Casio MQ-1 would fit in the tray of the left gauntlet properly. As you can see from the photo below, the calc fits beautifully, with just a bit of room to spare all the way around... and that room is accounted for by the thickness of the vacuum formed shell, so the fit is essentially perfect!
That is so sweet!!!
This is very cool. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the kudos, guys! I am thrilled to own these but even more thrilled to be able to share them with you. I initially thought I wasn't going to be able to share that i had acquired them and that was really bumming me out, so I was completely stoked when Max said I could talk about them publicly. I think these are my most prized Boba Fett piece to date. I love my GMH helmet, but there are multiple castings of that helmet floating around, yet to the best of my knowledge, these are the ONLY gauntlets with lineage back to the originals!
Congrats ,truly an awesome acquisition ! Thanks for sharing.
W00h00!!! What awesome news, Art! Another milestone in the TDH timeline!
Nice find Art.
I think that "battery" button is the battery door from the MQ-1, has the same little "box" around the word battery n all.... Check it out...
it just so happened i kept all the parts of the one i dismantled to use the keypad/circuit board.

HOLY **** i think you nailed that one DV
- - - Updated - - -
Wonder why they did that though...
Hahahaha!! LOOK AT THAT!!! You would think that I would have been able to ID that (since I discovered the MQ-1 years and years ago), but it never even crossed my mind! GREAT find Darth Voorhees!!! I will pull out my MQ-1 today and snap a photo of the two together!
Nice one Lou!
OK, things like this just make my day and have set my morning off right. I high tailed it out to my parts box and had to dig out an MQ-1 battery cover to shoot. Now, granted, this is NOT the best angle or anything, but Darth Voorhees nailed it. It is clearly the MQ-1 part! You can see that it was sunk into the the rest of the gauntlet build. This find is really important for two reasons:
1) it is another verifiable reference that sculptors and builders can use to help them scale their replica gauntlets and
2) it allows me to verify that my castings have minimal shrinkage and are indeed the right size!
Thanks again DV!
Awesome. Great to see the battery cover detail too.

Thomas Vermaelen says that the spirit in the Arsenal dressing room at half time inspired them to victory against Udinese on Wednesday night.
The Gunners trailed by a goal at the break but rallied in the second period with goals from Robin van Persie and Theo Walcott, to sail through to the Champions League Group Stage.
"Everybody was alive, and everybody said we needed to stay positive," Vermaelen said. "We knew that being 1-0 down was nothing - we only needed to score one goal and then they had to score two. We had that mentality in the second-half."
Vermaelen says the team were also helped by the presence of manager Arsène Wenger, who was allowed on the touchline after having his two-match ban put on hold by UEFA.
"It's always good that the boss is there to give us some directions and keep the mood positive at half-time," said the Belgian centre-back.
Vermaelen admitted that the team's comeback was the perfect tonic for last weekend's defeat to Liverpool, ahead of a tough trip to Old Trafford on Sunday.
"We were 1-0 down playing away from home, and to get through is a really positive thing.
"I think we are positive of course. After the Liverpool game we needed a boost, and now we can take confidence to Old Trafford.
"But it's too early to talk about the title, we are only two games in," he added. "It's a long, long way to the end of the season. I don't think we should talk about that yet."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

List Price: $463.00 Our Price: $299.00 (Save $164.00 or 35.42%)
Checking PayPlan Availability...
A special bundle of the third edition of the Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament edited by Fredrick William Danker (BDAG) and the Koehler-Baumgartner Hebrew & Aramaic Lexicon (HALOT). This combination of our top lexicons for Greek and Hebrew provides the best resources at an attractive price. The sale price of $299.99 saves $60 off the individual prices, $153 off list prices.
Included Modules
The following modules and groups are included when you purchase this package. For details click the Title.
November 29, 2011 | 3:31 PM |
I use these tools (but mainly the BDAG) daily and they're indispensable for work in the original languages, even just for word studies. In addition to covering different uses for a given word, these lexicons include an extensive list of scripture references for each usage. Accordance makes these features even more powerful by taking you directly there when you triple-click on the word in the text, which makes the workflow much faster and more efficient. The BDAG focuses on "the New Testament and other Early Christian Literature" and doesn't cover all of the words in the septuagint. When that happens and I need to pull my print Liddell-Scott lexicon off of the shelf, I'm always amazed how much longer it takes compared to using the lexicons in Accordance.
November 8, 2011 | 7:03 PM |
Accordance puts these lexicons—the standard tools of the trade for OT and NT exegesis—literally at your fingertips. A triple-click on a word in question is all it takes to peruse the information gathered in these tools. And the Accordance price point makes these otherwise cost prohibitive (Brill!) volumes very affordable.
November 1, 2011 | 7:33 PM |
This package is essential for a serious Greek or Hebrew student. If all you had was tagged Greek text, a tagged Hebrew text and this package in your Accordance library, you would have the four most powerful and useful tools available for exegesis. If you regularly translate, exegete, or do word studies, buy this module before any other.

I decided to make a Jango Fett for my son for Free Comic Book day and wanted to post some pics for you guys to see what you thought. It took me like 2 weeks with my mother in laws help (she sewed the flight suit and vest). I wish I had taken more progress pics, but hindsight is 20/20;D I made all the armor from matboard. The bottom half of the helmet is matboard also, but the dome is a skate helmet cut down to size. I used WOFs templates for both the armor and the helmet. I reduced the armor templates down to 65% and the helmet I think I did at 85%. We went with the blue color on the flight suit because there's an action figure with that same color blue and my son liked it better than the gray.
The helmet before paint and before I filled in the dome holes. Lower half is mat board from Michaels and the dome is a skate helmet from Wal Mart that was on clearance for like 5 bucks. I didn't
Ammo belt before paint. The pouches are EVA craft foam with cardboard sides. The belt is from the Goodwill Store and was a dollar. I cut it down to fit and put some velcro on it to replace the buckle. I painted the belt and pouches with brown spray paint and then hit it with a flat clear coat.
This is the stuff I made the jetpack with. My son liked the stubby pack the best. The ketchup and mustard containers are the fuel tanks and the pringles can is the missile housing. I used the bigger nerf ball for the warhead missile and the smaller ball I cut in half and used for the tops of the fuel tanks. The plastic wine glasses are the thrusters and the round nerf ball, after I cut it in half, is the bottom vent.
And here is the finished product with some 501st members and superheros thrown in for good measure! Let me know what you think.
I'll probably be taking him to Baltimore ComicCon so any improvements you can think of, please let me know. Im going to add some velcro to the chest piece and figure out how to get the girth belt, ammo belt and holsters to stay up higher. Also, I'm going to make a new antenna (I whipped this one up the morning of FCBD). I'll probably improve on the gauntlets as well, especially the left gaunt.
- - - Updated - - -
I forgot to say I got a lot of the jetpack ideas from members on here and on the RPF. Ill have to get their names and post them up here later.

Losing time, not buying time
Control of methane, soot, and other short-lived climate-forcing agents has often been described as a cheap way to "buy time" to get carbon dioxide emissions under control. But is it really?
Expectations for the outcome of the Cancun climate talks seem to be running low, and the suggestion has emerged that maybe we should forget about controlling CO2 emissions for now, and instead do something with short lived climate forcing agents like methane or soot. This is often described as "buying time" to put CO2 emissions controls into place. For example, in a recent New York Times Op-Ed, Ramanathan and Victor write:
"Reducing soot and the other short-lived pollutants would not stop global warming, but it would buy time, perhaps a few decades, for the world to put in place more costly efforts to regulate carbon dioxide." — Ramanathan and Victor
The idea that aggressive early action to control short-lived climate forcing "buys time" to do something about CO2 has often been pushed in the past, e.g. in various newsletters and press releases associated with the UNEP Atmospheric Brown Cloud program, for example
"The BC reduction proposal is not proposed as an alternative to CO2 reduction. At best, it is a short term measure to buy a decade or two of time for implementing CO2 emission reduction strategies." — Ramanathan, writing in the UNEP Black Carbon Newsletter.
To be fair, it should be acknowledged that such pleas for more attention to short-lived climate forcing are almost invariably accompanied by a salutary reminder that it is really CO2 that needs to be gotten under control, as in the quote above. Achim Steiner, writing in the same issue of the Black Carbon Newsletter writes "Paying attention to black carbon should not distract people from the real issue at hand, carbon dioxide." A similar sentiment is expressed in the Ramanathan and Victor op-ed. While emphasizing the central importance of CO2, Penner et al. argue that "…to provide short-term relief from climate warming, the short-lived compounds that induce warming need to be brought under control within a timescale of a few decades." (They also make the intriguing suggestion that doing so might provide a global experiment that could help constrain climate sensitivity.) Writing in Science, Stacy Jackson concludes that "… a focus on CO2 may prove ineffective in the near term without comparable attention to pollutants with shorter lifetimes"
All of this is well-intentioned stuff, none of it denies the central importance of CO2, and I'm sure there are many benefits to be had from reducing soot emissions sooner rather than later. Given the large agricultural component of methane emissions, keeping these emissions from growing in the face of a the need to feed a growing number of people is a serious challenge that must ultimately be met. But still, these proposals tend to convey the impression that dealing with the short-lived forcings now will in some way make it easier to deal with CO2 later, and that's wrong. In this post, I will explain why.

When most people think of Wisconsin, they picture dairy farms, cheese production, and, of course, beer making. They probably don't picture sand processing facilities, but that's exactly what they would find in the northwestern part of the state.
Many companies are continuously looking for good sources of silica sand, and Wisconsin has the distinction of having some excellent pockets of this precious resource. After various processing steps, the resulting high-purity product is used in many applications, including glassmaking, metal casting, paints and coatings, ceramics, and water filtration. It also is in especially high demand in the oil and natural gas drilling industry.
The considerable sand processing required to reduce impurities involves huge storage, classifying, and drying silos. Concrete is the ideal material for these silos' massive foundations.
By any measure, the production and placement logistics required to construct a huge concrete slab at the Chippewa Falls sand plant in northwestern Wisconsin were challenging. For 12 hours, the trucks kept coming, turning one after another into the sand processing facility located just north of Chippewa Falls. Trucks from almost every ready-mix producer in the area participated on the job, and even they were not enough. Companies as far away as the Twin Cities sent trucks.
Measuring 168,939 cubic feet and holding more than 800 tons of steel reinforcement, the slab will support 12 silos, each 70 feet high and 48 feet in diameter. Placing the required quantity of concrete for such a large slab within 12 hours would require five batch plants and almost 100 trucks. Meeting these supply challenges was compounded by the approaching harsh Wisconsin winter.
Soil stabilization
Construction of the base slab hit an early roadblock. Site engineers Krech Ojard & Associates and excavator/producer Haas Sons discovered that the very properties that make for good silica sand can make for very poor compaction, especially for a foundation weighing more than 10,000 tons and supporting even greater weights. Several options were considered and turned down due to time constraints.
Haas Sons contacted their cement supplier, Lafarge North America, which designed an initial lean mix solution for meeting the specific objectives of this soil stabilization application. The low-strength, coarse aggregate mix is similar to flowable fill, but this project demanded more stability.
After some fine tuning by the project engineers to slightly increase cement quantities, the final lean mix used was 66% Class C fly ash (250 pounds), 33% Type I/II portland cement (125 pounds), 50-50% rock to sand and 46 gallons of water with air at 9-10% and 8-inch slump. Compressive strengths of 400 psi were required to support the monolithic foundation slab.
Haas Sons' ready-mix plants in Eau Claire and Thorp supplied 14,500 cubic yards and A-1 Redi Mix produced the balance. On the last day, R&S Pumping Service topped off the mat with Lewis Construction's 240 Somero Laser Screed. "We poured the mix very wet so it was very easy to place," says Gary Haas of Haas Sons.
Among the lessons learned at this point was that the lean fill worked well and that a single supplier in this small market would not be able to supply the quantities required for the monolithic placement.
Slab placement
Where in a town of 13,540 do you get enough ready-mix concrete for a job requiring placing 6253 cubic yards of 4500 psi concrete into a 4-foot-deep footing pad in less than 12 hours?
After several meetings that were spearheaded by concrete contractor Steve Lewis of Lewis Construction, facilitated by the general contractor Tom Hubbard of Cedar Falls Building Systems, and coordinated by Lafarge, a team of three ready mix producers—Haas Sons, A1 Redi Mix Concrete, and American Materials—came together to work on the project. They, in turn, rented additional trucks from other ready-mix companies.
Supplying a steady stream of this much concrete required five batch plants belonging to the three ready-mix producers—Haas Sons' plants in Eau Claire and Thorp, Wis.; A-1 Redi Mix Concrete's mega plant in Eau Claire; and American Materials' plants in Eau Claire and Menomonie, Wis.—and 96 concrete trucks supplied by 10 ready-mix producers.
Lafarge calculated the amounts and delivery times required. Haas Sons committed to producing 200 yards per hour, A1 committed to 150 yards, and American Materials committed to 200 yards.

Burmese troops began evicting destitute families sheltered in cyclone relief centers and insisted there was no need for foreign relief foods because the Burmese people were perfectly capable of existing by hunting and eating "large edible frogs." The New Light of Myanmar, the government mouthpiece, warned people that foreign relief workers would snoop inside their homes and condemned donor nations for linking aid money to gaining full access to the hardest-hit regions of the nation. The tirade against the outside world came as the Myanmar government tightened its grip by extending th arrest of Augn San Suu Kyi who leads the opposition democratic movement.
A government spokesman while visiting a center housing victims of the cyclone, told the press, "it is better that they move to their homes where they are more stable. Here, they are rely on on donations and it is not stable." The government in many cases is handing out about 15 poles to a family and telling them to return home and build a house with the poles. The military junta is bewildered that people would actually want to eat rice when there are plenty of frogs around to feed them. However, one can assume the frog food is not ordinarily on the menu of junta feasts.
The government newspaper insists the Burmese people "are capable enough of rising from such natural diasters even if they are not provided with international assistance."
Such is the attitude of leaders of a nation. One can only express sorrow for the people of Myanmar who must exist in such a world.

"Craig is actually moving along very good," Regier said. "I talked to Tim (Macre) today, our athletic trainer. He's on or ahead of schedule, so it looks good for him."
Rivet may be ready by camp; Kennedy wins in arbitration
'"For us, [the award] was a little higher than we expected certainly but we'll work with it," Regier said. "Tim is a player we think can improve. We expect him to improve and we'll work with him in that regard. We worked off what we thought he would get in arbitration as did they and that really is the process."'
Kennedy awarded one-year deal
'Buffalo Sabres forward Tim Kennedy was awarded a one year, $1 million contract today by an arbitrator.'
Sabres' Kennedy awarded $1 million contract
'Buffalo Sabres forward Tim Kennedy was awarded a one-year, $1 million contract by an arbitrator on Thursday, two days after his hearing was held in Toronto.'
Sabres, Kennedy await arbitrator's decision
'Buffalo was believed to be offering about $700,000 — his $635,000 salary from last season plus a mandatory 10 percent raise for restricted free agents — on a one-year deal, or a higher base salary for a longer agreement. Kennedy was believed to be looking for more than $1 million per season, perhaps upwards of $1.4 million.'
Sabres Expect Big Things From Pysyk
"I remember I got called up as a 15-year-old," Pysyk said. "I think he blew by me four times and scored on all four of them. So I still remember that. Having him on the same team will be a lot better."
What if Vanek had become an Oiler?
'Looking back at it three summers later, the Sabres would have been better off letting Vanek walk. Yes, the Austrian has scored 104 goals since and, yes, he's still just 26, but all things being equal, just imagine…'
Kaleta Re-Signs With Sabres; Who's Next?
"I think 17 years from now I might be in a wheelchair, barely moving, with my style," Kaleta joked Wednesday afternoon inside HSBC Arena, shortly after he agreed to a two-year contract, avoiding arbitration. "The Sabres really weren't dealing with 17 years. I'm happy with my two years."
New contract keeps Kaleta home, happy
'Kaleta made $522,000 last season. He will make $860,000 next year and $955,000 in 2011-12.'
Sabres sign Kaleta, avoid arbitration
'The 24-year-old scored a career-high 10 goals and recorded a career-best 15 points in 55 games last season.'
Sabres reach 2-year deal with RW Patrick Kaleta
'Terms were not immediately available, but Kaleta was expected to earn a raise over the $522,000 he made last year. The deal, announced Wednesday, comes before Kaleta was scheduled to have an arbitration hearing on July 29.'
Sabres agree to terms with Pat Kaleta
'"I had to look at it in a way that the team wanted me to play here next year no matter what," Kaleta said of bypassing the arbitration and getting a deal done. "I'm proud of what I've accomplished so far personally as a hockey player in Buffalo. Hopefully it's only a small portion of what I can do."'
Myers has made a lasting impression on Sabres
'"Based on what I can see, I don't sense that," McCutcheon said. "Maybe things won't happen to him like they did last year. It may not be quite as easy the second time around. There'll be more eyes on him and more pressure and expectation. He's going to have to learn to handle that adversity and if he doesn't jump out to the best start, he's going to have to learn to bounce back."'


text: well, I don't work for Galco, but I'll offer up my experience in the matter, having looked for a holster for my HKUSP 45. There are at least three different holsters for the .45 models... USP, USPC, and some other model which I'd never seen. Well, being that I have a USP, I thought that the C version would work but be a little shorter. Nope, the trigger guards are different between the USP and the USP compacts. I'll be interested to see what I need to get as well when it comes to a fine "Galco" holster (brown nosing not intended).

'Cory Stillman scored twice for Carolina, which appeared to grab the momentum in the series following a 4-3 win in North Carolina on Monday. The Hurricanes failed to follow through, and things became so bad that rookie Cam Ward was pulled in favor of backup Martin Gerber after giving up four goals on 26 shots.'

... i accidently got my girlfriend preagnant.. now...
at 5 am this morning i was awaken by my fiancé with the words:
"Honey.. i think that today might be the day"
Instant Alertness!!
Apparently the labour pains had started that very night but she had let me sleep through the night so that i would be able to drive her to the hospital later.
At this point the contractipns were 5 mins apart. 2 hours later there were 3-5 mins appart and we decided to head towards the hospital.. 1 hour drive away.
We left our apartment at 7am and got to the hospital at 8:10 am.
at 09:02 am i took this picture:
As you can see the babys pulse (top line) is looking great... while my fiancés labour pains, at the bottom, went from slow and steady to full blown "push-that-baby-out" contractions in less than 10 mins!!
At 09:10 the water broke..
At 09:51 this litte critter appeared:
3905g and 50 cm long
Is it just me or does he look a bit like yoda?
Anyway.. the baby and mom are both doing well. Considering there was no time for an epidural and she only had NOX available for pain relife.. and my shoulder to squeeze..
Me? Still can't belive it.. I've got a little baby boy!!!

I'm a retired nurse, the last job I had was over infection control at a Missouri prison. After watching how our criminal justice and prison systems actually operate I was pissed. Think of how many more would be unemployed if we actually closed the borders. No over the border drugs, less ICE agents, border patrol agents, lawyers, judges, social workers, cops, jail workers etc. and the associated list goes on and on. As sick as it is a much larger part of American society depends on mayhem taking place than you would think. If all these associated departments have less crime to deal with they have a smaller staff. The public sees less threat and various organizations get much less taxpayer money to spend.

OH WOW! We're so excited!
Steve, Gary, and our lead technology expert Audra have an absolutely incredible E-Book that's going to rock the entire Internet - WorldStart's Internet Security Survival Guide - and it's finally updated as of this month, October 2014!
Everyone loves their computers - but very few realize how devastatingly DANGEROUS things can get when that PC is compromised and turned against you!
And it happens to people just like you EVERY DAY!!
The threats just keep piling up - hackers, viruses, malware, spyware, scammers, phishing attacks, compromised public WiFi, over the shoulder attacks, router attacks, password crackers, compromised software, outdated operating systems, firewall breaches, browser hijacking, malicious web sites, dangerous pop-ups, cross site scripting, e-mail hacking, virus hoaxes, deadly file attachments, compromised personal information, stolen data from old computers, hijacked HOSTS files, spoofed file extension tricks, autorun viruses, ransomware, infested freeware - well, you get the idea!
Do you know how to protect yourself from ALL of the threats listed above?
If you don't, I can PROMISE this...
It's not a matter of IF you become a victim - it's truly a matter of WHEN!
They always say, "What you don't know can't hurt you." Well, here in the Internet age, ignorance is NOT bliss!
Millions of people who didn't think it could happen to them fall victim EVERY DAY - simply because they didn't KNOW there was a threat!
That's CRAZY. In fact, it's not just a little crazy, it's "Trying-To-Jump-The-Grand-Canyon-With-A-Bicycle" INSANE!
Especially when it's SOOOO easy to avoid the problems in the first place IF you know what the threats are AND how to avoid them!
Bottom line - You need to know exactly what dangers lurk around the dark corners of the internet - or you WILL be the next victim! You absolutely, positively MUST know HOW you can get attacked and HOW to defend yourself!
And THAT'S why we created this absolutely fantastic new E-Book!
PLUS - we've written this in a way EVERYONE can understand!
Each and every chapter is written in fun, easy to read language that you'll discover is REALLY SIMPLE to follow!
We even have loads of pictures and illustrations!
I know there's a few people out there crazy enough to think:
"There's nothing of value on my computer, I have nothing to hide, so I don't care if someone gets in or I get a virus."
Music to a hacker's EARS! The bad guys rely on IGNORANCE in order to attack your PC! They rely on people who think that there's nothing of value on their computer - and NOTHING could be further from the truth!
Even a computer with nothing but a fresh Windows install is a juicy target!
If your computer is compromised - either by a hacker or malware (viruses, rogueware, spyware, etc) any of the following can happen:
Your identity is stolen (easier than you think - we spill the beans)
Your credit card information is stolen
Your bank account is compromised
Your friends e-mail addresses are stolen - then attacked
Any documents are fair game and can be used for identity theft
Files or entire drives can be deleted - all your music, photos, etc - GONE!
Your computer can be turned into a server for adult sites
Your computer can be used to commit fraud - and YOU take the blame
Your computer can be used as an illegal attack "zombie"
Your computer may be held ransom until you pay up - happens 35 MILLION times a month!
You will be blasted with non-stop pop-ups
Your computer will be inoperable to the point of needing an expensive overhaul
So, yeah, it IS a big deal if you get compromised. In addition, if your computer is used for illegal purposes by the hacker the feds could come knocking on YOUR door - not theirs.
Oh - and just think how expensive it would be to take your computer to a shop to get it working again - all because YOU didn't know what's in our life-saving e-book!
We want to show you how to recognize and avoid the pitfalls that MILLIONS of people fall victim to each and every day. You know - the people who never thought it would happen to them.
By the time you finish reading this incredible book, you'll have your computer locked down so tight the folks over at Fort Knox will come to YOU looking for advice!
We've divided the book into 9 sections and there's a VERY brief outline below. But...
PLEASE keep in mind you're only seeing a small FRACTION of the information that's jam-packed into this breakthrough book!!!
There's another 85% of the book we haven't even hinted at below! WOW!
When it comes to attacking your computer, there are no shortage of tools at the disposal of the bad guys! Do you REALLY know how to stay safe? This section will show you the threats - and how to avoid them! We show you how to set up your computer to guard against all types of malicious software - viruses, spyware, adware, rogueware, ransomware - we show you the software and techniques you need to block it ALL!
Oh, and just wait till you see the free anti-malware titles and amazing firewall we've discovered!
Everyone loves to use their laptops with public WiFi. Hey, what could be better than sitting down in your hotel room, at an airport, or coffee shop and logging on for some free Internet?
Well, hackers LOVE these places too - only it's your data they're after!
In fact, I'd go so far as to say if you don't know what we have in our book you probably shouldn't even be using public WiFi - EVER! It's FAR more dangerous than most people realize!
Your accounts can get compromised, your passwords stolen, and your e-mail intercepted - and that's just for starters. Identity theft, attacks on your friends / contacts are ALL possible - AND probable!
Oh, yeah - and the hacker doesn't even need to break into your computer to pull this off! He just logs onto the wireless network and goes to work with software that can "spy" on you!
We'll show you how he does it - and how YOU can stay safe!
The online world is a dangerous place - from scams, to hijacking, to malicious pops-ups, to fraud - there's a lot of ways to trip and fall out there! You need to know how to tell the good from the bad, how to spot phishing scams, online scams, and con artists. You need to know how to properly set up your browser, how to stay safe on Facebook, how to respond to malicious pop-up windows, how to deal with cookies, and more!
A lack of knowledge in ANY of the areas above is a guarantee for trouble down the road. And that's a HUGE problem! All it takes is one scam, one vicious pop-up, or one drive-by infection to compromise your data, ruin your computer, and get your identity stolen - what you DON'T know WILL hurt you
Oh, this is HUGE - this chapter ALONE is worth the price of the entire book! We reveal all the pitfalls people make when setting and using passwords - and show you how to avoid 'em!
Knowing the difference between a strong password and a typical password is the difference between getting your accounts hacked or staying secure.
We also talk about how you handle passwords in general. If you don't know the critical 7 steps we outline in this book even the strongest of passwords are at risk! Getting your accounts hacked can RUIN your life in ways you've never even thought of!
What happens if a hacker breaks into your bank account? Or your credit card account? Or heck - even your Amazon account? Talk about a nightmare! Our passwords section gives you the key to minimizing your risk!
It takes less than 30 minutes to compromise an unsecured computer connected to the Internet. There are thousands of hackers out there scanning for weaknesses right now - you're likely getting scanned dozens of times a day - you could be getting scanned even as you read this!
Is your home network set up properly or are you about to be the next statistic? Make sure you know for sure with our book!
We're going to show you how to lock down your home network - your router, your wired network, your wireless network - everything. We'll show you how to set the right encryption on your wireless, how to make sure your firewall is engaged properly, and even how to name your network to avoid getting personally targeted for a WiFi attack.
E-mail is literally the door to your digital world. A compromise here - by either a hacker or malware program - can be devastating! If there's ONE place you need to be safe, it's when you deal with your e-mail!
Just think - what would happen if someone had access to your e-mail account? Chances are they could easily piece together enough information about you to steal your identity (just think of all the items in your inbox, sent items box, and outbox). In addition, every private account you have online - your bank, credit cards, Amazon, Paypal, etc ALL use e-mail to recover passwords. If the bad guy has your e-mail account, he can be in ALL your accounts in a matter of MINUTES!
You DO NOT want your e-mail compromised - and we're going to show you how to keep it locked down tight. Everything you need to know to set the right kind of password, avoid scams, and KEEP IT PRIVATE!
This is the fun section! We have a LOAD of general safety tips designed to help you keep safe in all your online endeavors. We'll show you a "secret" file you can use to prevent your computer from ever seeing another malicious site. We'll show you how to properly dispose of an old hard drive. We'll show you how to avoid "bad" freeware. We'll show you how to avoid ransomware. And that's just for starters!
There's a literally TRUCKLOAD of advice in this section that'll help keep you super-secure and safe!
And that's just a small sample of what we're going to cover!
In addition to the sections above, there's also a section on why the bad guys are after you and what they can do if they get access to your PC. We also cover just what to do if you get infected - and 6 easy step to follow for getting uninfected! Our book also includes tips for keeping your computer physically safe from theft - after all, if your computer gets stolen, what's the point of the rest of the security?
Finally, we've also included a glossary to help with the terms found throughout the book and 20 of our favorite FREE security-related programs! The money you save on commercial software will pay for this book 20X over!
Whew - this is BY FAR the most important book ANY computer user will ever read!
We've looked around - and there isn't anything like this anywhere! Amazingly enough, finding a traditional book on computer security is almost impossible - and when you DO find one, it's written in such a technical manner you'd need a degree in Computer Science to figure the thing out!
This innovative new book is TRULY unprecedented! It's easy to read, packed with pictures, screen shots, and illustrations, and hey - we even try to make the whole thing entertaining! You'll BLAST through the material and before you know it everyone will be coming to YOU for advice on computer security!
Yup, EVERTHING we know about Internet security for the home user is JAMMED into this earth-shattering e-book!!

PS - Anyone who thinks they don't need this information and that an attack "won't happen to them" is living a lie. It's like not wearing a seatbelt because "so far" you've never been in a bad accident.
Bottom line - If you're using the Internet and you don't know the information we outline in our e-book, then it's not a matter of IF you'll get compromised - it's simply a matter of WHEN.
