Before every Arsenal fixture, we'll bring you a Scouting Report on the Gunners' next opponents.
Former Arsenal midfielder Stewart Robson will give his pre-match view and you can get his post-match verdict in our Talking Tactics feature on Arsenal Player.
Arsène Wenger and his side face Tottenham at Emirates Stadium on Sunday so, to find out more, we also asked journalist Paul Hirst for his thoughts and analysis.
"Tottenham now have great depth to their squad and as a result they have been able to constantly change personnel and shape in recent weeks. In their last league game against Newcastle they played with two up front, Louis Saha and Emmanuel Adebayor. If it hadn't been for injury, Saha could have been a Premier League great because he has excellent technique, a quick change of pace and is much better in the air than given credit for.
"Adebayor, as Arsenal fans will remember, can be unstoppable when in the mood and his understanding with Saha against Newcastle was the main reason for Spurs' superb performance.
"In midfield, the combination of Scott Parker and Luka Modric has catapulted Spurs into a top-three side. Parker defends with desire, energy and knowledge while also moving the ball quickly when in possession. Modric is everything you could wish for from a creative midfielder because he can see defence-splitting passes, he can drift past opponents when running with the ball and he can turn away from tackles to enable him to switch the point of attacks."
"I expect Tottenham to line up in a 4-4-2 formation with Rafael van der Vaart playing just behind Emmanuel Adebayor. Harry Redknapp has tinkered with his tactics quite a lot recently, playing 3-5-2 at Stevenage and also trying it in a couple of other games too.
"It just doesn't seem to have quite the same effect as playing 4-4-2 with Van der Vaart just off Adebayor's shoulders, though.
"I think the wings are going to be key for Spurs in this game. Gareth Bale and Aaron Lennon, when they are on form, are absolutely electric. Their pace and the way that they just puncture defences is unreal sometimes.
"But their full backs have only recently come back from injury and defensively they have looked a bit wobbly of late. So I think they will be looking to play it down the wings, get their crosses in and that is where Adebayor and Van der Vaart link up so well. Adebayor just tends to knock it down for the latter to find the net and he seems to have done that a few times against Arsenal recently too.
"To be honest, the draw at Stevenage aside, they really are looking in imperious form at the moment so it's difficult to pick out any weakness.
"I think the only possible question mark is in defence. If Ledley King does not play then that will be a big miss for them because he is such a commanding presence. But saying that, Younes Kaboul has come in this season and has done really well. He is prone to the odd lapse in concentration though and Van Persie is usually pretty good at taking advantage of that. If he is given a yard then I'm sure he will punish him for it.
"I think it will be a draw myself, although I think we are in for a really entertaining match. There is never a dull North London derby but this one in particular is set up to be a real classic encounter. I think it will be high scoring so I'll go for 2-2."

Bethesda, Md.
Communication Major
"I think it is a testament to Wittenberg's caliber of education that I have been recognized for my ability to write well. Many of the letters to constituents focus on contentious issues, and they require a diplomatic touch in conveying the Senator's positions."
Like many students graduating from college each year, Jeff Hannah found it difficult to land a job right after receiving his diploma from Wittenberg University's in May 2009. However, one thing separated Hannah from the job-searching pack – persistence.
It paid off. Hannah is currently working as an unpaid intern for United States Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR).
While studying at Wittenberg, Hannah envisioned using his communication degree after graduation in such fields as marketing or public relations rather than politics. He never imagined he would use the skills he learned at Wittenberg to make a difference on Capitol Hill just months after crossing the stage in picturesque Commencement Hollow.
"While the thought of being on Capitol Hill was a pretty remote idea upon graduation, based on my situation and need for something to do, I decided that I wanted to get on the Hill," Hannah said.
In 2007, Hannah interned with the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA), working with the organization's marketing and membership development office. He received his first real taste of the nation's capital by assisting members of the association's government affairs office. Upon his departure, Hannah had lunch with the association's president, seeking advice about what it takes to be successful in Washington, D.C.
"He said that government experience is a must, as many individuals hit a glass ceiling in their careers if they do not have prior experience working with the government," Hannah said.
He will remember the conversation forever, as it sparked his interest in seeking employment in Washington, D.C., which is close to his hometown in Maryland. After speaking with some professionals around the D.C area, Hannah's plan of attack consisted of cold-knocking on the doors of congressional offices of districts to which he could draw a connection. Hannah researched what each office asked of its internship applicants and personally submitted them to each office, asking to speak with the intern coordinator during his visit.
"As both of my parents, as well as my brother and sister now live in Oregon, Ron Wyden's office was an office I approached," Hannah said. "Within a few days, Wyden's office responded with an offer to intern and that's how I got into the Hill."
His position entailed everything from sorting mail to attending committee hearing meetings and producing memos for staff members. Quickly, Hannah found that many of the skills he learned at Wittenberg were crucial to his work as an intern.
"Of the skills I gained at Wittenberg, strong writing and research skills have been a tremendous asset," Hannah said. "I think it is a testament to Wittenberg's caliber of education that I have been recognized for my ability to write well. Many of the letters to constituents focus on contentious issues, and they require a diplomatic touch in conveying the Senator's positions."
Hannah credits courses taught by Associate Professor of History Scott Rosenberg and Professor of Communication Catherine Waggoner for honing his abilities as a writer.
"When you work in a congressional office, writing is of utmost importance," said Hannah, who is now working for TIA. "Even as an intern, you are charged with writing responses to constituents' questions or memorandums that may be used by office staff or even the senator."

Hey Ya'll,
I'm new to the forum and thought I might as well introduce myself. I am a Virginian who hunts North Carolina with family quite often for duck, brant, and swan. I also hunt deer, coots, nutria, doves, squirrels, turkeys, geese, and pretty much anything that I am invited to hunt for. I also love fishing both in fresh and saltwater.


text: Thank you so much! I'll call on these... do you know offhand if they work for the 2008 Passat (the web pages don't specify that year). Also, do you know if any of them support song titles from the ipod through the factory radio? I have in-dash satellite radio w/ 6-disc CD factory installed; right now the OEM ipod adapter displays no text from the ipod (or cd) - just track 1 etc.

Texans quarterback Matt Schaub suffered injuries "everywhere" in his lower right leg, according to head coach Gary Kubiak, during Sunday's stunning, blowout home loss to the Rams. Kubiak said a determination on who will be his starting quarterback in Week 7 versus the Chiefs will not be decided until the end of the week and depends on how Schaub feels physically. But in the meantime, Kubiak said he will prepare both T.J. Yates and Case Keenum to start, if needed.
Yates replaced Schaub after his injury. He completed 12 of 17 passes for just 98 yards and two interceptions, including a pick-six.
Fantasy Analysis:
In other words, it's looking like another great matchup for the Chiefs' defense. And while Schaub has been dreadful for most of the season, in no way is Yates is a significant upgrade. Keenum set a bunch of records while in college at the University of Houston. Now in his second season, Keenum doesn't possess good arm strength or mobility. Simply, the Texans' QB situation is a complete mess right now. Andre Johnson owners have reason to worry.

Based on Genworth's claims experience, the average length of a long term care claim is about three years. Assuming three years of in-home care provided by a home health aide, the national cost of care would be nearly $136,000. In an assisted living facility, this cost would approach $143,000, nationally. In a private nursing home room, this national cost would exceed $260,000. At a three percent inflation rate, in 25 years, when many baby boomers will require long term care services, national costs for an average length of stay in a private nursing home facility will be about $840,000, a huge expense that most Americans cannot afford."It is well known that most Americans do not have traditional pensions and many have saved far too little in their 401(k) plans or other products. For the vast majority of Americans, long term care costs are not covered by Medicare and Medicaid provides coverage only after life long savings have been nearly exhausted. Given these factors, private long term care insurance remains one of the most effective ways for Americans to prepare for this potentially significant expense later in life," McInerney said. Get Back to Basics: Create a Long Term Care Plan Long term care planning is about more than just cost and it requires difficult family decisions and sacrifices. Planning today can save consumers from facing a crisis tomorrow. Having the right talk, the right way, at the right time, can ease the emotional and legal pressures of planning for long term care needs. Genworth recommends the following tips regarding long term care:
- Determine what's important. Take time to carefully consider your needs, get educated and talk with your family so you can decide on the most appropriate option for your long term care needs.
- Get educated. As the long term care landscape continues evolving and changing, stay up-to-date on the options available and determine what works best for your holistic retirement plan.
- Plan. Now that you have a better idea of what you want, how much it costs and the key issues, get prepared with a basic plan. Outline your objectives, meet your goals and keep communicating with family.
- Continue the conversation. Look for natural opportunities to talk with family and financial professionals about your plan. Don't try to tackle too many issues at once. It may be easier to have a series of conversations over time. Visit Genworth's Let's Talk website to find tips on how to have a Long Term Care conversation.

For the fourth consecutive season the Blue Hens open their fall slate at the Tignanelli Towson Invitational at Hillendale Golf Course in Phoenix, Md. on Sept. 8-9. Delaware then takes a month off before competing in the Diane Thomason Invitational hosted by the University of Iowa on Oct. 4-5 at Finkbine Golf Course.
Two weeks later the Blue Hens head north to again participate in the Princeton Invitational at Springdale Golf Course on Oct. 18-19. The following weekend UD will look to defend its team title at the second annual University of Delaware Invitational held on Oct. 25-26 at Rehoboth Beach Country Club.
The Blue Hens wrap up their fall campaign on Nov. 2-4 when they head to Lakewood Ranch, Fla. to again compete in the Florida International/Pat Bradley Invitational.
Delaware, led by fourth-year head coach Patty Post, produced an outstanding 2013-14 season in which the Blue Hens finished among the top five in all but one tournament. UD claimed team titles at the Tignanelli Towson Invitational, Rutgers Invitational and Delaware Invitational, and capped its year by tying for second place at the Colonial Athletic Association Championships.
The Blue Hens will be led by senior Amanda Terzian, a second team All-CAA selection a year ago who led UD with a 76.46 average round. Terzian, the team's Most Valuable Player, was Delaware's top finisher in four tournaments and was selected to the CAA All-Tournament Team. Andi Slane finished second on the team by averaging 76.71 shots per round, while Grace Chua posted a 77.92 average round during her freshman season.

By Rob Kelly
Arsène Wenger has hailed Robin van Persie's "special" achievement in reaching 30 league goals for the season.
The Dutch striker is only the seventh Arsenal player to reach that milestone for the Club, and only the third in the post-war era after Thierry Henry in 2003/04 and Ronnie Rooke in 1947/48.
Wenger says Van Persie's record-breaking feats this term highlight just how important the 28-year-old has become to his side.
"Robin has done tremendously well. Even on Sunday [against Norwich] he got us back to 2-2 and scored again to make it 3-2," he told Arsenal Player.
"Of course you don't know what more to say about Robin's season because, as the numbers tell you, only special players can achieve that.
"You want some more goals around Robin and for him to keep at these numbers. Of course you can beat the records."

Side swiped by weather making history, again
EASTERN N.C. - What will become a potentially historic snow storm for New England brought heavy rain and winds to Eastern North Carolina overnight.
The main ingredient feeding into the developing Nor' Easter that will potentially cripple New England this weekend brought between 2-4 inches of rain to our area overnight.
A gusty easterly wind combined with a high astronomical tide cycle backed water levels up on the west side of the sounds and into our rivers 1-2 feet above normal tide levels. This also caused Highway 12 to close north of Mirlo on the Outer Banks due to ocean over wash. There have been minor flooding reports in low lying and poor drainage areas.
The photo above was sent in by a viewer Friday morning, showing ponding along the road near East Carteret High School.
The center of the storm passed directly over Onslow and Carteret counties before sunrise this morning on its way to the Virginia Capes by noon.
As the storm passed our winds have switched to a northwesterly direction and will continue to be gusty through overnight tonight into the first part of Saturday.
Our skies will slowly clear as we progress through late this afternoon with sunny and cool temperatures expected for this weekend.
Stay with StormTrack 12 Meteorologists as we continue to track this potentially history making storm.

I'm still young enough that I would probably be putting the money towards a more performance oriented car, but I have always had a soft spot for these cars. They seem to get fresher with age to me.

Terra Madre: Notes from the Field
From Gianna Banducci in Turin:
For the Africans, the future of Africa belongs to them. For the Americans, the greatest opportunity to make change is positioned before us. The theme underlying both these and numerous other forums at Slow Food's Terra Madre: it is our responsibility. The change that we so ardently chase can be a reality through each individual. Once the conversations and debates cease, we cannot only rely on international organizations or governments. We must commit to the one action that will never evade us: the control of our own endeavors. Terra Madre and Salone del Gusto convened with this vein flowing throughout the crowds.
Friends and family, producers and consumers, visionaries and organizers reunited in Turin, Italy for the 2010 installment of Slow Food's acclaimed events from October 21st through the 25th. It was a five-day convergence of colors, scents, textures, and languages surrounding the global food system. A blur of flags representative of the countries in attendance and Carlo Petrini's booming voice initiated the conference on Thursday. After, it was in the hands of the delegates to guide the spirit of the discussions.
Visitors congregated around topics ranging from small-scale production to women's rights to youth mobilization for the future. Firsthand testimonials were both a reminder and encouragement for the problems faced, the work accomplished, and the tasks yet to be completed. Two groups noticeably rallying their efforts around prospective initiatives were the delegates from Africa and members of the Youth Food Movement. In the Africa Regional Meeting, the assembly identified that the continent must exploit the advantages of its local economy, food sovereignty, and diversity to retake control of its food. At another place and time, international youth members joined together at the tables of an Eat-in to acquaint themselves with the flanks of activists that will be leading future food campaigns.
Although the appetites of many were satiated by dialogue during the five days in Italy, there was no lack of food on-site. Salone del Gusto embraced the connection of food and place in the taste workshops, marketplace, and the street food fair. It was a cultural affair that allowed for the purchase of barley from Iceland, a sampling of bass from Slovenia, or an education on the vanilla bean from Mexico. Over 200,000 visitors attended the Salone, interacting with producers offering their knowledge and fare at booths. Having immersed themselves further in the food system that provides for them, guests departed as co-producers linked to those dedicated to our subsistence.
As Terra Madre drew to a close, attendees dispersed with a heightened awareness and renewed commitment. With fields awaiting cultivation and issues demanding advocacy, people recognized the work that must be retaken in order to enact preceding discussions from the conference. Africa returned to its campaign for 1,000 school gardens by 2011, the Youth Food Movement to its launch of country-specific groups, and America to its fight against damaging food policy and legislation. The arduous journey to an enhanced food system remains, but the family of Terra Madre was ready to recommence individual actions, remembering that they have the support of comrades worldwide to fuel their progress.

The Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs will host a Director's Seminar with Pascal Lamy, former General Director for the World Trade Organization, in the Belfer Center Library (L369).
In a recent op-ed, Mr. Lamy commented on the recent competing values of emerging economies, "In 2014 and beyond, all parties must recognize that, in a multipolar world, an international trading system based on an updated set of rules is the least risky means of pursuing their growth objectives." Live Mint
From September 2005 to August 2013, Pascal Lamy served for two consecutive terms as General Director of the World Trade Organization (WTO). A committed European and member of the French Socialist party, he was Chief of Staff for the President of the European Commission, Jacques Delors, from 1985 to 1994. He then joined the Credit Lyonnais as CEO until 1999, before returning to Brussels as European Trade Commissioner until 2004.
He currently dedicates his activities to the think tank Notre Europe – Jacques Delors Institute, serves as President of the World Committee on Tourism Ethics, the President of the Oxford Martin School Commission for Future Generations, the Vice - President of the Foundation for European Progressive Studies (FEPS), and participates in the Global Ocean Commission and UNAIDS, as well as different subjects related to international affairs. He is also President of the Board of Directors of the Musiciens du Louvre of Grenoble MDLG (Orchestra of Marc Minkowski) and a member of the Board of Directors of the Thomson Reuters Founders Share Company.
Pascal Lamy is the author of various books and reports on global governance, Europe, and international trade. His latest publications are: Oxford Martin Commission: Now for the Long Term; The Geneva Consensus (Cambridge University Press, 2013).

Im going to be dying my flightsuit in the next week or so but needed to know how much dye to pick up? It looks like the ESB color (RIT Evening Blue) comes in bottles of 8oz. Is one going to be enough for a flightsuit fitting a 6' 190lbs person and pouches, or should I pick up a couple more? Also, are people generally doing this process in a large tub of sorts? I did a search but didn't see much info about the liquid vs powder options or if it even matters.
Thanks in advance!!

Arsène Wenger has hailed midfielder Yossi Benayoun after his crucial header sank Aston Villa on Wednesday night.
Benayoun came off the bench with 10 minutes remaining to score his third goal of the campaign, heading home from Robin van Persie's 87th-minute corner.
Wenger had previously sympathised with Benayoun's lack of match action this season and was quick to praise the Israel international's attitude after the game.
"He is well integrated in the group, is a fantastic professional and has a great spirit," Wenger told Arsenal Player.
"He is a very intelligent boy and tonight he did fantastically well when he came on. The changes who came on did very well and stabilised our game I think - Yossi came on and won us three fantastic points.
"You go to City and then to Villa and I have to give fantastic credit to my players, they have given absolutely everything in the last three days with two difficult away games.
"For us to respond well was vital. I was a bit nervous I must say because for us you have experience and history with us coming to Aston Villa - it is always these kinds of games where it is marginal to win or to lose.
"I was a bit nervous because I knew how important it was to win and I knew that it would be a difficult game."

Well, how do you fare compared to the Zeitgeist?
Chat up your fellow wooters and let us know how lame this poll was or what obvious choices we missed.
For example: Was this poll a) STUPID, b) DUMB, c) POINTLESS or d) ALL OF THE ABOVE?
When was Woodstock?
Yeah, like 3 years before that.
Do Mariachi bands count?
I am 37. I saw hundreds of concerts when I was 18 until around 25. None since.
My ex worked for a record distributor. We had free tickets to every concert. Haven't been to any since the divorce 25+ years ago
sadly in my 32 years of life i have never been to a live concert...now i have 2 babies, its gonna be a while..
I can't vote on this poll. The webdesigner put an anchor in on the button to submit the poll. It annoyingly brings me to the top of the page. Fwiw, I heard live music last night at a July 4th celebration.
vikingcanute wrote:sadly in my 32 years of life i have never been to a live concert...now i have 2 babies, its gonna be a while..
I feel your pain. I've haven't been to a pro sporting event in 3 years! I use subliminal messaging on the little guy from time to time. He'll be begging his mom to go to a Red Sox game by the time I am done with him.
I went to my very first concert two days ago, in fact.
Last real concert I went to was Kelly Clarkson after her Breakaway album came out, so like '04 or '05. It's sad to think that it's been that long. I need to get out more.
Ha. This poll is awesome.
It's early July in Milwaukee, which means it's Summerfest time. Enough said.
The time before last that Brave Combo made it to Philly. I couldn't make it the last time.
waterresistant wrote:summerfest!
I can't wait for O.A.R. tonight.
I frequently go to shows. Music is the rhythm of life man
Music runs through my veins, I watch live shows on a monthly basis
Live music? 1-2 times every three weeks when I go downtown for some reason (live in Nashville).
Big ticket concert? Probably 3 years, even though next year I plan on going to bonaroo.
The 43% who haven't gone out in years are part of the reason why, even with a degree from an accredited university, I am still struggling to pay my bills with my music.
It's more fun when live music goes out to find ME! ;)
mrgroovemachine wrote:The 43% who haven't gone out in years are part of the reason why, even with a degree from an accredited university, I am still struggling to pay my bills with my music.
To be fair, plenty of people with degrees in a lot of other different things are also struggling to pay their bills, too
I'm not sure how your degree is relevant, but I'm pretty sure you're struggling to pay your bills because you're trying to do so with music. Most musicians would probably say, "Join the club." That said, I hope the road gets easier for you. I'm a big fan of live music and have great admiration for musicians.
Just got home from it on date night. Had an awesome time. We only get to do it a couple times a year now with our new budget of her down to under 30 hrs a week so they don't have to pay insurance and me sent off from the defense industry til I found a job paying $10K a year less. Sad times.
You thought a career in music wasn't going to be that way? How odd. I'm guessing those who mastered in basket weaving or liberal arts are thinking the same thing.
Try getting zero loans or grants, paying for an Aerospace Engineering degree with credit cards and bank loans, then facing Clinton laying off half a million experienced aerospace engineers. At least I was going for something useful at the time. I'm over 40 and still trying to pay off my college "loans" and they're over 20% with all these whiney new students complaining about 3.2% going up to 6.4% when all the normal credit cards went up to around 28% that they'll be facing within 4 yrs thanks to the "fair credit act".

I would've gotten back together with her just for that XD
There's too many rude and inconsiderate people attending many of the concerts these days. They ruin the experience for everyone but themselves. I just buy the album for 1/4 or less of what the concert tix go for and enjoy in the privacy of my own home on my terms AND I get to use my own bathroom without having to stand in line or step over barf!
just saw Deltron 3030 at Stern Grove in San Francisco last weekend; t'was awesome!
Saw the Stones in May. They were awesome.
Every single weekend. But I live in New Orleans where bands are literally everywhere.
I went to the Iowa Jazz Championships this spring and almost went to Yankee Doodle Pops this week. Next weekend I might go see TFK and assorted other bands at a local-ish festival.
I hadn't realized what a slow few months it's been. We usually go more often; it bothered me that I couldn't check one of the more recent options (although we've done theater in that time). We'll hit everything from chamber music to the Philadelphia Orchestra to Springsteen and other rock acts.
But we avoided the big concert on the Parkway on the 4th because of the huge crowds (The Roots, John Mayer, Jill Scott, etc.); watched the fireworks from nearby.
But the topic came up during the day that we haven't seen anything recently, so ask this again in a month so I can feel better about myself.

For the first time in more than a decade, the Canisius College indoor track team suited up for an official meet.
The Griffs traveled to Cornell to compete in the Southern Tier Collegiate Open on Friday night, with several Griffs having strong performances in the program's return.
"To be starting a full season was energizing for both the athletes and the coaches," said head coach Nate Huckle. "There was a sense of purpose, and of anticipation for what is possible in future competitions. It was a very positive experience."
Freshman Haley Keene tied her personal best in the 800-meter run (2:24.63), missing out on the school record by just six-tenths of a second. Keene would finish sixth in the event.
The Griffs highest place finish came from sophomore Cooper Roach, who finished third in the mile with a time of 4:23.92. Roach came out of the gates hard and battled near the top for the entire race, but ultimately fell behind a pair of Binghamton runners (Eathan Hausmann and Chris Fernandez).
Senior Catherine Phillips ran to a sixth place finish in the 3000-meter run (10:32.58).
Canisius also saw a pair of runners place in the top-10 in the 1,000-meter run. Freshmen Xavier Sauvageau placed sixth (2:39.22), and Jeff Antolos (2:43.98) finished 10th.
The Griffs' next meet will come Jan. 18, when they travel to R.I.T.

I enjoy working in admission because?
I enjoy working in the Admission Office mostly because I know how stressful the whole college process was (I applied to over 25 schools!) and love to help with the decision process. I also love to hear the students' stories and how their high school experience has been. But most importantly, I am ecstatic that I have the opportunity to give back to my alma mater by bringing in students to love their Witt experience as much as I did.
My favorite place on campus?
My favorite place on campus has to be the entrance to campus near the President's House — it is just so beautiful and welcoming every day.
I absolutely LOVE the NBA. I also am an avid golfer/frolfer (frisbee golfer) and like to have a nice softball game every so often. And I cannot live without HBO.
What I look for in a student?
I think the most important attribute I look for in a student is for them to be personable. I love it when students are very relaxed and laid back when I am talking to them. I think the best thing a student can do is tell a great story about themselves that is totally off the beaten path. Stories like these really help me see who this student is as a person.
Desiderata is a great quote — go and look it up!

Test and improve your intonation!
InTune has been a top-25 music app in more than 60 countries, including the USA (#11), Canada (#6), the UK (#9), Italy (#10), Portugal (#3), Sweden (#6), Finland (#3), Russia (#11), China (#4), Hong Kong (#2), and Australia (#6).
It's easy to find apps to help musicians play in tune, but not to improve a musician's ears. Now that changes, with InTune, the app that helps musicians play in tune by improving their ability to hear.
InTune is an outgrowth of twenty-five years of research and testing in the field of intonation by cellist and professor of music Daniel Kazez. The concept began as a simple game to test the ability to hear two pitches that are very close together. Then, in a university research study, Kazez discovered that students' hearing improved the more often they played—at triple the rate of those who did not.
Use InTune, and you'll hear two pitches. Decide whether the second is higher or lower than the first. It starts easy but gets more difficult, until you get to the closest pair of pitches that you can distinguish. Play again and improve your score—and your ear! Share your score with others and find out who has the best ear.

Reviews for InTune:
"What blows me away is how absolutely genius this app is. Yet so simple... Some say it's the best ear-training app out there... The Bottom Line: An absolute must for any musician who has to play or sing in tune with other instruments."
"Wittenberg University Trains Your Ear: Anyone with an interest in sound will enjoy this… Whip out your phone and challenge the intonation of your friends."
"An aesthetically pleasing and addictive app that is easy to use and accomplishes its goal very quickly; my score has improved every time I've played." (iSing Magazine, March 2014)
Featured app three years in a row; 5-star rating. (AppAdvice)
Simple and elegant… Delightfully simple… this little app will find a place in all musician's training regime… Elegant user interface and game play. I love this app. (Music Toolbox)
"Lots of fun to be had challenging your friends."
"There are a number of ear training apps available for the iPhone, but InTune has actual science to back it up."
"Using the app is simplicity itself… A neat little utility." (Music App Blog)
"A great little app and surprisingly compelling."
"An awesome app."
"A very fun and useful app for all music students." (AskAudio Magazine)
"A great tool."
"Very easy to use…a fun and useful addition to your practice toolbox."
"I was surprised to find that not only was it cool, but it was helpful as well!"
"This app is a little bit addicting! In fact, I'm quite sure I've never had this much fun before teaching and practicing intonation. The game-like setting keeps students engaged and challenged, and I definitely noticed a difference in their ability to tune their instrument after they played it."
"The interface is really simple and easy to use…a great little app." (Classical Guitar n Stuff)
"can be used to refine your pitch sensitivity step by step in a clear measurable way."
"What a fantastic tool… This game can't promise you a Grammy Award, but it will absolutely help you develop a more discerning ear—a skill vital to all musicians."

1st round for the Seahawks - I think, looking at this team and where you have us picking, this needs to be an OT or Kawann Short, the DT out of Purdue. Our line has been iffy and it is one of the only holes on offense. I don't see a WR there worth the look.
2nd - Great pick IMO.
3rd - Good spot to address that WR position with Wilson still available.

I don't see us taking a G in the 1st round...We have a great duo there in TJ Lang & Josh Sitton. I'd prefer TJ McDonald or Eric Reid in Round 1 since they are both still available.
Round 2 you have us taking a ILB. That's not position of need for us either, as we have DJ Smith, AJ Hawk.. and one of the better ILBs in the league, Desmond Bishop, will be fully healthy by draft time so we will be expecting him to come back in full force for the 2013-14 season..I'd prefer Jackson Jeffcoat for our DL rotation since you have him slipping all the way to early Round 3.
Round 3 pick is fine I suppose, but I'd rather grab LT depth than anything else.

And BTW you've got Tyler Bray going twice in the 3rd round. I doubt he'd slip that far anyway.

Not a good job with the Cards picks. The Cardinals do need a LT, so addressing that in the first is awesome. The second round pick Tyler Eifert was taken in the first and does not make sense anyways as the team spent a 3rd on a TE that they like last year, so no TEs in the second. The Bray pick is alright, but the Cardinals need a left and right tackle (is Massie does not look good) badly. The o line is a mess.

A guard in round 1? An ILB round 2? Color me confused. We have pretty good money / long contracts tied up in both spots. Would much rather have William Gholston in the 1st. Maybe TJ McDonald.
Yeah, I definetly agree. OG and ILB are two positions we don't need. However they are two of my favorite players if the draft. But, if we get a Gholston-esque player. Raji, Worthy, Perry, Matthews, Gholston. Would be a pretty good pass rush.

Broncos will not draft a qb in the 3rd. They drafted Osweiler in the 2nd this year and they like him a lot. The biggest need on the team is linebacker. Especially the Mike if you ask me. I don't know the prospects well enough to tell you who to take when, but if there is a player good enough to warrant the drafting position, lb would be a much bigger priority than wr or RB.

I highly doubt that the Ravens draft an interior OL prospect early next year given that we spent a 2nd and a 4th on LG and C this past draft.
Ideally we'd get a true LT, an ILB and a FS early.

I will start implementing these changes very soon. I am sorry if you do not like the picks offered. It would be extreamly helpful if you posted team needs in the thread so I am not giving your team players you do not feel necessary to draft. Thanks in advance.

5.Jets: Sam Montgomery*, DE/OLB, LSU
Solid pick here no complaints Jets need a pass rusher and its a toss up between him mango and jones
5.Jets: DeMarcus Milliner, CB, Alabama
Much rather pick have a safety here, preferably Reid because Jets do not need a CB with Revis Cromartie and Wilson locked up but their S position is questionable
5.Jets: Dallas Thomas, OT, Tennessee
Thomas is playing G this year but his versatility would be nice to have as he is the best left on your board

I could see the possibility of the Steelers selecting RB Lattimore if their running backs can't get the job done this season. Plus Mendenhall will be a FA after the year. If the running game is decent then that lessens the need for a RB in the first.
The past two drafts the Steelers selected OTs in the second round so that is not a need at all and so they won't select yet another in that round again. I rather have either the ILBs of Skov or Reddick. Or perhaps Jeffcoat.
The Steelers I feel will most likely will select a safety in the first three rounds.

MLB and we are IMO our biggest needs.rb depending on if Willis shows this year to have lost a step. wlb depending on the outcome with DJ. and o line depth.

Not a good Browns draft. We just used two picks on WR's. Our biggest needs are: DE, G, LB, S then WR.
I want Jarvis Jones, but Mingo and Montgomery are both good picks as well.
In the 3rd go with a G or LB. Prefer a G.

Lowes and more Chinese crap!!!
I am painting later today so thought I might get a head up for a change and set my pressure at least at a general setting as I had used that line yesterday. A brand new China made quick disconnect fitting failed open. At $2.98 plus tax, it wont hurt me - but the wasted hour to replace it will. And then there is the line at the returns counter and the snotty returns lady.
Take a look the next time you are in Lowes - try to find something NOT made in China - and Home Depot is the same. Good ol' Black and Decker, a standard for the home owner, made in China. Hitachi, a good Japanese tool company(as well as many other things like power turbines), made in China.
I'd buy good USA made Milton fittings - if I could find them somewhere besides an occasional swap meet.
Am I upset?? Yep (again) I don't have any choice, I have to buy that junk. There aren't any other choices .
Now!! I'm going to go paint!!!!
Yeah, remember years ago when you bought certain items from certain countries because there was a REASON. You bought Italian shoes because they were "special" you bought a Japanese car because it was cheap. You bought a Swiss watch because it was thought of as the best in the world. You had a few of these items and you had the American made as well. Now, it is getting so that you don't even have a choice! I went on a buy American kick a few years ago. I would look at the package and if it wasn't made here I wouldn't buy it. Have you ever REALLY tried to do this? It is not easy, not by a long shot! Go buy pencil or pen, just try it. You could go to a store with 16 feet of display, HUNDREDS of pens and pencils and not be able to find a brand made here! Don't even get me started on clothes!
Things have changed big time, "Japanese" cars are made here, "American" cars are made there, what in the hell is "American" anymore?
Even my own friends are pulling this crap. I have a buddy who owns a chrome platting company. He closed it up and moved it to Mexico! How about our hobby, how much of these repro parts are made overseas? I don't know about you but I will work REAL hard to not put an overseas part on my car. I buy NOS, used, what ever, but I will work REAL hard to not us imported stuff.
I guess I'm just anti-import. Period. I'm not worried about a little lead in a toy. I'm worried about how dependent we've become on other countries for EVERYTHING!
Whether the average person realizes it or not the simple fact is that we are already at the mercy of several foreign powers. OPEC for example could destroy us simply by shutting off the oil taps. Mexico even has leverage over us with the amount of produce that we import from them. China....well, how many things wouldn't we have access to if they decided to pull the plug? We're handing our future to outsiders. It's beyond stupid!
I saw some people, with their children, talking about the lead scare. They seemed very concerned. Smoking cigarettes around their kids, discussing how harmful the lead is. Too funny.
There are so many reports on what is harmful, that it's a wonder we are still alive. Funny how something that was used for many years is all of a sudden poison and deadly.
I am Anti-China imports BIG TIME. But that out of the way, I think it is way over blown. Exactly how are your children going to conjest the lead? They would have to eat the stuff to do that.
The same parent who is up in arms about this and took all the recalled Mattel toys away from his child handed that same child a happy meal with frys an hour later.
We worry about too damn much these days. I mean, I am going to do my best. But yesterday when I told my son to go wash his hands after he had handled a lead weight I felt like a fool. When you talk about ODDS, we are talking a TINY, TINY fraction of a chance of harm. My son has a much bigger chance at being hit by a car driving up on the sidewalk as he rides his bike than from that lead.
|Irelands child
Ya know, this is too bad and we, as Americans should know better. But if you were born before 1973, there is a better then even chance your house was painted with a lead based paint, you, as a child played with lead soldiers, used lead sinkers on your fishing line, lead shot in your guns, painted your cars with paint that had lead, stopped that same car with asbestos based brake linings, had a home heating system with asbestos laden insulation, installed vinyl flooring with asbestos fibers holding it together. Then if you are a bit older, mom dusted her roses with DDT, dad fertilized and devermined his garden with a host of now banned substances. Then of course your refrigerator had R-12 freon as did your automobile, and your gasoline had tetraethyl lead, then later it had MBTE as an oxygenator, etc, etc, etc. Live in Houston, Texas City or Port Arthur for a while. The Love Canal area of Niagara Falls. Or the Mississippi Delta in Louisiana - now there are some contamination problem areas that really need the media attention.
Now, with all that said, and I do agree with Kevin45 that Mattel should never have let this happen - and what I'm trying to say, as a devils advocate, is that we as first, children then adults have been exposed to so many chemicals now designated as contaminants, that the trace amounts of lead found in these toys is negligible, that the network media, AGAIN, is blowing something out of proportion to the actual problem. Yes, we should monitor these imports and yes, these products should be recalled, but unless you ingest a lot more lead then what is on a Thomas the Tank toy or two, there will be no problem.
Lead paint. Dangerous to eat, dangerous to breathe if sanding or painting. I wonder what kind of money Mattels' quality control people are making? Massive re-calls aren't cheap, class action lawsuits aren't either, Q.C. departments are in place for just those reasons. If I have a set of Mattels tainted toys I bought on the internet because I live in Baumfauch, Egypt, too far away from a Toys r Us, who pays shipping for me to get my money back? Mattel isn't going to eat any more of these expenses than they absolutely have to eat. I've noticed no one is saying where the lead paint originated. Who's making this paint? And will they be executed in the near future? Here Kitty, Kitty. It's time to save face, heads are going to roll.....
You are exactly right, brain washing.
Having grown up with lead paint, DDT, asbestos, smoke belching smoke stacks and chimneys, ground water, no sewers, and nothing made in China, I wonder how I reached 69 years of age with no known health issues? I am not defending China nor Mattel, but think we are more victims of some serious brain washing about what is good for us and what is bad for us. Want something more to think about? China is the most populated country in the world and are growing by leaps and bounds. They are not fettered with EPA, OSHA, and all the other govt regulated activities that has driven our jobs to them. Yeah, we need some big time changes, but they need to be made here and not in China.
What's bad is that Mattel made the recall, steped up to the plate to take blame, ordered more toys, and they had high levels of lead.
You can't hardly buy anything NOT made in China anymore and I bet if you picked up one of those lead paint test kits that they are now selling, 90% of the products we are getting will have lead in the paint.
The amount of recalls this year alone is ridiculous. I was just reading this morning that SAM's CLUB has a recall on beef because of E.Coli. The meat is coming from Minn. from a place called Cargill, so in the longrun it won't affect just SAMS, it will affect some other places also. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21164896...5773?gt1=10514
The other place that recalled the 21.7 million pounds of beef (Topps) is now out of business according to the article. They were talking last week that they had a large class-action lawsuit against them.
On another note....I was doing some interior painting yesterday and I remember when a paintbrush that said "Pure China Bristle" was one of the better brushes you could get.I wonder if that is the case now. LOL!!!
My answer for this is simple. Mattel had the toys made where ever to increase profits, and didn't care about the safety of our children. At Christmas none of the toys I get for the kids will come from Mattel, Fisher Price or the other subsidiaries. The government will waste time and end up giving this a white wash job. The full blame belongs to Mattel they contracted the manufacture to China strictly to save money. We all know quality control in some other countries is nearly nonexistent Mattel should have been checking for this. The government should fine the **** out of Mattel, but they wont. So I will not be buying Mattel products for this year atleast.
My $.02
Mattel made the apology trying to head off price increases the Chinese gov't is thinking of implementing for regulation fees. The Chinese gov't has gotten so much adverse publicity (think of executions here also) that they are planning on regulating much like the FDA, EPA, USDA, etc, in this country. Cost for these programs will be passed onto the buyers, of course. Mattell would like to self regulate, apologizing, making the problems Mattel's fault, head it off before the Chines Gov't does their thing. It's all about money...
The same article had a piece about the Oriental Trading Co (a mailorder busness, cheap crap) having up to 60% lead in their jewelry. You get what you pay for...
Just imagine if the dog food contamination was in a human consumable. Last I had seen something like 40,000 dead animals.
Lead is not toxic to adults, it affects the developing brain, something adults are well past.
Walmart sucks because they are leading the push to manufacture in China. Walmart is joint owner of several factories in China.
As long as our politicians can take contributions from corporations, the best interest of this country will be ignored.
We are heading down a path that we have never been down before, we are becoming so dependent on China that they will have us by the gonads.
I do not believe that China has any intentions of ever invading the U.S. but I believe that they are going to become THE major player in world affairs.
China is a country of 2.5 Billion, they will have the ability to amass troops anywhere anytime.

this may be the silliest upgrade ever, but i think it's neat!
a while ago shinobi_fett sent me some ASI windage knobs. if you look at the real scope on the ee3, you'll notice that the knobs taper toward the top, where the ones on the tasco scopes that lots of us use are square.
i've made 8 molds of these knobs over the course of doing other projects, and each time i've been pouring resin i've tossed a few drops into the knob molds.
i'm going to try it out on my rifle to see how it works. they'll be a pain to install... you'll have to cut off the threads that the existing knobs screw on to. so it might not even be worth the fuss.
if it does work out well i'll be offering up sets for cost of shipping / padded envelope, probably $5 a pair at the highest.

"In an agreement announced today, the Russian Legion will be using Virtue Spires for the next two years. The decision was made after extensive testing by the team to determine which loader on the market would be the best choice for the Russian Legion.
In fact, the Russian Legion was so deliberate in considering which hopper to use, the team tried out various hoppers in tests at practices and during the 2012 World Cup to see which loader was the best for RL. The response from using the Spire was great and the entire team decided to switch over to the Spire in 2013 and 2014
About their not-so-secret World Cup test, RL Captain Kirill Prihidini said, "Because Spire performed so well in practices, we decided to make a field test at WC 2012. Several players were using it and overall Russian Legion Club would like to say that the Spire can easily become our new team loader for the next several years."
"The Russian Legion is really in a class of their own. They have a different approach to the game, which I would characterize by the phrase 'relentless domination'. The Russians have proven themselves with top finishes time and time again. I'm always amazed that whoever they bring on to the team immediately becomes a well known superstar on the field. Virtue is honored to have the Russian Legion choose the Spire as their preferred hopper," said Chris Williams of Virtue Paintball.
Looking ahead to the new season with their Spire, Kirill said, "In training for 2013, over the past several months the Russian Legion has been using the new Spire from our long term partners at Virtue. Through our hard practices in Moscow, this Spire showed that it is very reliable and can easily work on both paintballs and reballs with NO jams! All the RL players liked that it is much lighter than its competitors on the market, plus it is so easy to switch speed feeds during the bad weather."
The Russian Legion has a long history with Virtue, and used Virtue boards for many years. Now the team will be using Spire loaders and CrownSF speed feeds exclusively during the 2013 and 2014 seasons.
In August, 2012 Virtue Paintball unveiled the Spire. Its purpose was to deliver to the best players in the world a jam-proof feeding system, fast tool-less assembly, in an aggressive, light weight, compact design that holds more paint than its competitors. Today, more and more teams are upgrading to the Spire. Find out why by checking out the Virtue Spire at your local field or pro shop."
Interesting preseason going on, especially with the gear and who's signing with who. Personally I love the fact that it justifies me using a Virtue Spire to all my friends who don't own Rotors but say Rotors are the one and only.

I am in the process of building a M16-A1 kit. The front sight group was already attached to the barrel, so in order to attach the barrel to the upper I either have to:
A) remove the front sight group to use the Brownells barrel nut wrench for $25. Probably the strongest because it is a full 360 degree wrench
B) Buy the Spikes Barrel wrench the will slip over the barrel for $40.
C) Use my armorers wrench. I have heard that these sometimes have a tendency to break. I thought I bought a good one, but who knows.
What do the rest of you use? (I am leaning towards the Spikes)

The next month will be crucial for Arsenal, according to Arsène Wenger.
The Frenchman has hauled his side up to seventh in the table by winning their last three Premier League games. Last Saturday's victory at third-place Chelsea was probably the most satisfying three points of the season so far and the Arsenal manager feels that, if they keep their good form going, his side could 'kick-on' after Christmas.
"If we are in a very strong position in December then we have a good chance," he said. "By then, we will have played Man City away, Tottenham away, Chelsea away, Man United away and they all come to the Emirates after Christmas. For us to be in a strong position at that stage would be very important."
Before that, Arsenal have a very winnable run of fixtures - on paper at least. But, speaking at Friday's press conference, Wenger cautioned against complacency.
"Football is not as rational and mathematical as that," he said. "I believe in the Premier League you get what you deserve from the quality of your performance. What is good for us is that we look to be becoming stronger from game to game. If we can maintain that desire to improve collectively then we have a chance to make results and to come back. That will be down to the quality of our attitude and the quality of our spirit.
"Nobody is guaranteed to be in the top four after 10 games. Nobody has enough knowledge to completely say who will finish in the top four. If you look historically we are not too bad [at being] in there. Let's just let everybody else talk and we will play. If we play better and better then we will have a chance."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Lee puts dent in chairman's car
Everything went according to plan for Notts - except for a massive dent in the bonnet of Pailing?s car from a Lee six on the third day.
Lee sent a delivery from Steve Harmison flying over the Larwood and Voce Stand during his entertaining 47 in Australia?s first innings and Pailing later discovered the ball had landed on his car.
He said: ?I was sitting with guests in the Hound Road Stand when Lee was batting and although I thought at the time it was a massive hit, it never occurred to me my car might be in danger.
?It?s made a bit of damage and I think there will need to be some bodywork done, but I can assure the Australians I won?t be sending them the bill.?

They arrived quickly and I was very happy with the entire process!"
"I loved this product. I would have liked for it to come in a boy/girl twin option, but their nursery is grey and blue, so it worked. The quality paper quality was great and love the "matte" finish. I was originally sent announcements with the center picture too small and off to the side, I called and they reprinted my order and it was "rush" delivered two days later free of charge. The customer service department was excellent and I can't wait to try some home decor products!"

text: MTA ESP of the Year Jean Fay testifies on education funding Testimony of Jean FayRepresenting the Massachusetts Teachers AssociationHouse and Senate Committees on Ways and MeansThursday, February 23, 2012On the FY13 State Budget Good afternoon, Representative Kulik, Senator Moore, members of the Committee. My name is Jean Fay, and I am a kindergarten paraprofessional for the Amherst public school system. MTA President Paul Toner was not able to be here today, but he asked that I represent the MTA, and I am happy to do so. Thank you for the opportunity to appear before you today on behalf of the Massachusetts Teachers Association, representing over 107,000 members across the Commonwealth, including educators (Pre-K through graduate school) and educational support personnel. I am here today to speak to the need to adequately fund our public schools, colleges and universities. While I understand the tight budget constraints our state is experiencing right now, we all need to remember that the children of Massachusetts are not only our most valuable resource, but also our most vulnerable one. We all need to continue to work together to ensure that we provide the best possible education for the students of Massachusetts. Since the state is facing financial challenges, MTA supports the governor's proposed budget recommendations (House 2) that would essentially level-fund Pre-K-12 Education. House 2 proposes an increase in funding for Chapter 70 to ensure that all school districts are spending at their foundation budget level, and $10 million for programs to help reduce the achievement gap in our Gateway Cities. As someone who works with young children, I know firsthand the importance of smaller class sizes. Without proper funding we will see larger class sizes which will make providing the early intervention services that are so crucial to children in their early school years virtually impossible. Presently I work in a class with 20 kindergartners. I often find myself trying to coax a recalcitrant five-year-old to hold a pencil while simultaneously assisting 19 other students with their literacy strategies. We are already stretched so thin I can only imagine what will happen if class sizes increase due to continued budget cuts. Late last spring, I was awarded a classroom library makeover from Scholastic Books. I was thrilled, knowing that the new books were needed to replace the books I had brought from my home, which although well loved, were also well-worn. That same week a tornado hit Western Massachusetts, leaving behind a path of destruction and devastation. A colleague of mine told me about Robyn Krapf, a first grade teacher at Elias Brookings School in Springfield, who lost the entire contents of her classroom. Donating the new books to her classroom not only made sense, it was the right thing to do. This year Robyn has 32 students in her class, and she struggles to provide each of them with the attention they need and deserve in a temporary classroom with limited supplies. The Mass Budget and Policy Center reports that between FY09 and FY12, Chapter 70 was reduced by $440 million. Other education programs decreased by over $130 million, for a total loss to education funding of over $570 million. Most communities cannot make up this funding. After over 14 years as a kindergarten paraprofessional in the Amherst public school system, I still make less than $17,000 a year. Yet, I would never even think of hesitating to reach into my own pocket to pay for a pair of snow boots or a warm winter coat for a needy child in my class, because I know it is the right thing to do. Adequate funding of public education is the right thing to do, to ensure we invest in the most valuable resource—our children. MTA urges the Legislature to look beyond this upcoming fiscal year and develop a plan for addressing the adequacy of the foundation budget by supporting House Bill 153, which requires an independent study to guide the Legislature in adjusting the foundation budget as the economy improves. Speaking also for our members in higher education, we are pleased that the governor included reserve accounts in his budget that will fund the collective bargaining agreements for our higher education members for FY13. Taking these funds into account and his proposal to increase funding for our community colleges by $10 million, the Governor proposes to increase funding by over 6.8 percent. However, public higher education has been cut 16 percent since the recession: over $164 million from FY09 to FY12. Public higher education's mission is to provide Massachusetts citizens with the opportunity to participate in academic and educational programs for their personal betterment and growth, contribute to the area's existing base of research and knowledge and contribute to the Commonwealth's future economic growth and development. In order to make this mission a reality, MTA's supporting the Legislature's Public Higher Education Caucus recommendation to increase all campus line item accounts by five percent and to increase scholarship funding by five percent. The last several years' cuts to higher education have seriously compromised our state system. Since FY01, higher education has been cut almost $700 million (adjusted for inflation), a 40 percent reduction in state funding. These cutbacks have come at the same time most institutions are seeing increased enrollment. Our colleges and universities cannot make up this funding, without raising fees and tuition, which limits access and hurts those students and families most vulnerable. The governor's budget proposes changes to the way our 15 community colleges would be governed and funded. The process did not include a full discussion by all stakeholders including faculty and staff. While the outside section dealt with leadership and funding of the community colleges, it does not deal with other initial issues necessary for the success of the community colleges and its students. The state will again face a budget in FY14 with an enormous gap between revenue and needed spending. To begin to address the lack of revenue to support quality education for all students, we ask for your support to increase state revenues as soon as possible. We understand this will be difficult, but we want you to know that we will support you in your efforts to increase revenues, especially if done in as progressive way as possible, such as increasing the income tax. Massachusetts cannot cut its way to a strong and vibrant economy. We must invest in our communities, our residents, our students, and do so in a strategic way. We urge you to consider this approach. Thank you for your consideration of our views. See Also: FY13 Budget Spreadsheets Revenue Campaign Activist Toolkit Adequate Fuding Campaign Activist Toolkit

I recently purchased a painted asok CC helmet that I am considering starting over to paint it myself. I am wondering what the pro's here think I should use for chemicals that are safe to use on it that won't "break" it down or ruin it?

I recently purchased a painted asok CC helmet that I am considering starting over to paint it myself. I am wondering what the pro's here think I should use for chemicals that are safe to use on it that won't "break" it down or ruin it?
Thank you
I would just sand the paint areas down as smooth and flat as possible then put a coat of primer on and paint over it. I really don't see a need to use chemicals to strip off the old paint. I have done this with a helmet and you can't notice there are additional layers at all.
<<<<that red one right there has all the blue Jango colors under it.....I forgot the pic was my avatar.
I use laquer thinner and a rag...if your going to take all the paint off it works really well.
I used very fine sand paper and lots of patience when stripping a FP Premium fiberglass. I would be hesitant to use any chemical stripper without knowing the specific composition of the paint (acrylic, enamel, or a mix thereof) and the base coat. As with everything Fett, patience and doing it correctly over a prolonged period will always yield a better result. Good luck.
I'll echo what mullreel said, and say just sand it down. If you want the cold cast to shine again you'll need to repolish it anyway since most paint thinners will ruin the shiny finish of the cc, might as well skip straight to the sanding.
Well, like I said, its a BOBA helmet...it can be resilvered over primer...for times sake and ease Id strip the paint off. But just with thinner nothing like aircraft remover
Like others have said, some fine sandpaper should do it. Be patient though to prevent any heartbreak.
Ok, thank you all for your responses. I didn't want to duplicate this post, but the other ones I found asking this were not CC and I would prefer to not ruin the shine :)
-TDH never let's me down.
Lawyer thinner and 0000 steel wool
I like to use acetone and steel wool
I've had good luck stripping paint with easy off oven cleaner. Just let it soak on there for hours, and don't let it dry on there.
Depending on which version of the helmet you're going to paint, I would suggest sanding, then repainting. I had the same issue, and actually, the subtle layers that you paint over add a bit of "interest" to the overall job when you're done. This is just a personal preference, but from the peeling i experienced, followed by the sanding, the paint looks great from afar and up close (almost like an extra weathering step). I realize that the original didn't have this, but it was a great side effect from a previous mistake!
It's alive...IT'S ALIVE!!!:D
I do it all the time, too.

text: Though his ideas were considered eccentric during his lifetime, architect and engineer R. Buckminster Fuller has inspired successive generations of idealistic designers with his ethos of social responsibility embodied in technology. The Utopian Impulse examines his legacy at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, which seems fitting—even though Fuller never lived in that city, it's known for its nonconformists and visionaries. Projects are drawn from his portfolio Inventions: Twelve Around One (1981)—including the Geodesic Dome, World Game, and the Dymaxion Car (pictured), a fuel-efficient, three-wheeled vehicle that preceded the Prius by about 60 years. Also included are Fuller-influenced projects for the Bay Area, such as local company North Face's 1975 Oval Intention, which utilized Fuller's concept of "tensegrity" to change modern tent design.

ALBANY, N.Y.-- University at Albany and Binghamton University will meet Saturday afternoon in Albany, N.Y. to play for the 2008 America East Volleyball Championship trophy. The second-seeded Bearcats advanced with a 3-2 win over third-seeded UMBC, while top-seeded Albany defeated fourth-seeded Maine, 3-1, in the second semifinal on Friday.
The tournament final, a repeat of the 2005 America East Volleyball Championship, will be played at Albany's University Gym Saturday at 4 p.m. Live stats and live video will both be available. The winner of the conference tournament will earn an automatic berth into the NCAA Championship.
The Bearcats and Retrievers traded momentum the entire match before Binghamton secured the 3-2 win by set scores of 25-15, 17-25, 25-18, 14-25 and 15-10. Binghamton sophomore Michelle McDonough, a first-team All-Conference honoree, finished the match with 21 kills, 11 digs and five blocks, while senior Ashley Allen and sophomore Anna Lejina each recorded 12 kills. Three Retrievers posted double-doubles for the match, including junior Ashley Oscars (17 kills, 13 digs), Rookie of the Year Alyssa Lang (14 kills, 15 digs) and junior setter Kira Giles (49 assists, 11 digs).
Albany got off to a slow start, falling in the first set, 20-25, and hitting -.105. The Great Danes rebounded, though, winning the next three highly-contested sets, 25-20, 28-26, 25-20.
Junior Cate Eckhardt led the team with 15 kills and dug out 10 balls for a double-double. First-Team All-Conference sophomore Amanda Cowdrey finished with 13 kills and 10 digs, while Setter of the Year sophomore Brooke Stanley was the third Great Dane to record a double-double with 40 assists and 10 digs.
Senior outside hitter Laura Goettsch hit at a .333 clip for a team-high 17 kills and posted 21 digs. Four Black Bears finished with double-digit digs.

Would suggest tiermonster as the go to for info on builds.
Also I only really play arena too since i'm sick of the farm and fight type of thing in mobas. The only thing important in arena is teamfight potential or fast mobility characters that can weave in and out of combat very well. That is why Mercury and Bastet are great picks in arena since they can kill with relative ease and still escape harm.
Poseidon and Zeus are actually what i prefer people to be using in arena though. The cripple on poseidon's whirlpool is just OP and zeus can kill a whole team if comboed (Odin ult or Ares Ult). Today I even had a combo game with an arachne who put her spiders near me when I was a bastet. Whenever she pulled I summoned my cats. I think we had like 8 spider and 3 cats in total on one person or something. The guy couldn't even move from all the slows. Hilarious stuff

Born: September 11, 1995

Creative midfielder Jack, like his namesake Wilshere, joined Arsenal's academy a year early - and has reaped the rewards.
The technically-gifted central midfielder made his breakthrough into the Under-18s last season, playing seven times and scoring his first goal against Leicester with a fine free-kick.
Attack-minded Jack is an industrious figure in the engine room and can be deadly from set-pieces.

"I made this yesterday and it is to die for!!!!! I will certainly add it to my recipe collection. I don't like a strong rum flavor so I only added half of what was called for in the recipe, but ended up adding the full amount of rum and the rum taste was not overpowering. Think I will have to buy more half and half just to make it again. One thing I did was after the eggnog had cooled, I beat the egg whites with a small amount of sugar and stirred them into the milk mixture. It makes the eggnog thicker and I really liked the new and improved drink."

Having just watched the Nissan Pixo/£6,995 used car Top Gear UK episode, I started perusing my local craigslist and devised this simple challenge based on the lowest priced new car in America at the moment, the Nissan Versa S, at $10,990. As we all know, it's a pile, but it does have a radio and A/C. So, the rules are this:
1. $10,990 price limit. NO EXCEPTIONS.
2. The vehicle must have operable A/C and radio. If neither is mentioned in the ad, the assumption is that they work.
3. Your search is limited to YOUR LOCAL CRAIGSLIST ONLY and only for ads listed within the LAST 3 DAYS.
4. You can only post ONE VEHICLE PER DAY. Choose wisely.
Smaller cities will obviously have a much smaller pool to choose from, however a gem might be tucked away in Paducah or Dubuque that no one would think of searching for there.
This isn't necessarily about practicality, cost of ownership, fuel economy, etc. It's just an exercise in what YOU think is the most bang for your Nissan Versa buck. That could be the fastest, the best equipped, the best looking, whatever. The variety is what is going to make this interesting.
Alright, GO!

|Nice, early start meant I saw no one on the trail on the way up or summit. Then to Ptarmigan Pt, Sprague Mtn (by mistake!) and finally Knobtop Mtn. Long day, perfect weather!

|Amazing. This was my first couloir. I liked how it kept getting more steep towards the end, until your at almost 60 degrees at the top. When i popped up off that, all the tourists were taking my picture and pointing, it was hilarious. Beautiful day for a snow climb. not the best approach though.

The Gunners reveal their new home kit, available to pre-order today, Monday 2nd May 2011. Capturing the spirit and history of Arsenal Football Club, the new home shirt features a bespoke crest to highlight the proud origins of the Club 125 years ago.
Founded in Woolwich in 1886 and called The Royal Arsenal, the celebratory design features 15 laurel leaves to the left side of the Club's crest to reflect the detail on the reverse of the six pence pieces paid by 15 men to establish the Club – the laurel leaves also represent strength. The 15 oak leaves to the right of the crest acknowledge the founders who would meet in the local Royal Oak pub. Underneath the crest is one of the first recorded mottos related to the armament and battle - 'Forward' - with the anniversary dates of 1886 and 2011 either side of the heart of the shirt.
The classic design is inspired by the 1970's strips and boasts a clean, refined look with a block red body and white sleeves with red speed stripe detail. The shorts are white with a red speed stripe. On the back of the shirt below the neck reads 'Arsenal', while inside the front, on the back of the crest, reads 'Victoria Concordia Crescit', ('Victory Through Harmony'), Arsenal's Latin motto, which was previously featured on earlier versions of their club crest between 1949 and 2002.
The new home kit is made from Nike's ground-breaking recycled polyester – which for the first time includes both the shirt and shorts. Each complete kit is made up of up to thirteen reclaimed plastic water bottles. The improved Nike Dri-Fit fabric, now 13% lighter than previous kits, helps to quickly evaporate moisture by drawing through the fabric to the surface and keep players dry.
The kit is available for pre-order from Monday 2nd May and will be available in stores from 9th June 2011. Anyone pre-ordering the kit through Arsenal.com will receive a free Arsenal 125 Anniversary beach towel while stocks last. Those who pre-order in one of the Arsenal stores (The Armoury, All Arsenal or Arsenal Finsbury Park) will get a free limited edition Arsenal cannon shell casing while stocks last.
