Community and social computing
Facebook is advancing
rawn 100000R0P5 Tags:  social_experience 3,168 Views
You may have already heard about Facebook's new look as they change the social experience for users. While still focused on the Individual as the center of the experience, they are adding more capabilities. In particular, I'm amused that they are finally catching onto the idea of multiple tabs each per application, although they have not moved to free form tabs like developerWorks Spaces, netvibes and other sites. Separating the app to a different tab helps to create shorter, cleaner front pages, by compartmentalizing and creating subtopics. However, it is better if it is not limited to a single application; after all you might have several tools and widgets to focus around the same topic.
PS: I'm trying out AddThis, a service that lets users redistribute any URL to over 30 other social sites, saving me the trouble of adding links to digg, del.icio.us, etc. manually.

Check up on social computing companies
If you have not come across it before, web2logo.com provides an extensive listing of companies in the social computing and Web 2 space. There seems to be approximately 1000 companies listed there in one form or another. Some logos are repeated (e.g. Google in different versions) but that's rare. Clicking on a logo will give a description from Web2list, site traffic data from Alexa, and current Technorati-tracked blog activity for each of them. It's hard to say if this data is accurate but it does give an idea of which ones are doing decent enough to watch.

It has been an interesting time at the Social Networking Conference in San Fran this week. I ran into some great folks on many fronts including mobile social networks, social software in the Air Force, in GE, in GM, and much more. I did my presentation on how to help teams decide on the base level of social context that they may be interested in.
In quick step, this is what you consider instead of picking a tool right away. It is the vocabulary that you need to define the perspective that you want your social group to see as well as the rules on how the group should interact. The five social perspective models I highlighted are the:

Its really awful and a disgrace and indicative of the complete lack of morals or sensitivity of radio presenters in this country.
We seem to have some real noteworthy specimens from the shallow end of the gene pool on the radio in Australia.
And what will the radio station do? Make an announcement that the presenters will be off the air, then some weeks or months later quietly reinstate them.
Meanwhile, the radio station capitalizes on the increase in audience share as a result of the controversy.

Obviously, they did not intend this. So, in a way, they can't be blamed for Jacintha's suicide, but well for all that led to it.

The hoax was thoughtless, pointless and potentially dangerous and offensive. The pranksters' employers also bear some responsibility.
The nurse was (at least) not as cautious as she should have been, copped more blame for it than she deserved, and has paid a greater price than she should have.
Her employers bear far greater responsibility than the radio station but have not - to my knowledge - been called to account for it. Every hospital in our (Aussie) system has strong rules on patient confidentiality and I assume the same is true in the UK, and it is the hospital's responsibility - to the patients and their families - to have training and protocols in place which prevent this kind of unauthorised release of information even when a staff member is liable to make a poor judgement call. Maybe especially then.

"For the price, these were perfect. It would have cost me significantly more to custom design my own holiday stationary with the same quality paper. Even when I opted for upgrades like the shimmery paper, metallic envelopes and corner cuts, it was still cheaper than custom printing my own stuff. My logo was printed in full color and looks great. The only thing I don't like is that they have the "tinyprints" trademark on the back of every card. I wish they would offer an option to have that removed. If you're paying for the product, why would you pay for them to have free advertising on your paid item?"
"Of the three samples we orderd for holiday cards this year, this is the card we selected. After years of sending more traditional cards, this one has a fresh, artistic look and the paper has a pleasing texture and finish."
"We just received our cards in the mail and they are stunning. The colors are vibrant and the card stock used is an excellent quality. Tiny Prints continues to impress time after time."
"All of the business cards I've ordered over the past five years, this card wins hands-down for paper quality and overall professionalism. I would absolutely order this card again!"
"I ordered half a dozen samples and this is one of my favorites!! The design is adorable, the printing looks great, the card stock is nice and sturdy. I love that it is printed on a square - so modern and chic! I would definitely recommend this product."

DALLAS, TEXAS - The North Carolina women's swimming and diving team captured second place Saturday night in the 2012 SMU Classic at historic Perkins Natatorium. The #19 Tar Heels finished with 292.5 points, trailing only third-ranked USC and beating #9 Texas, #10 Florida and #16 SMU in the process.
On the final night of competition, UNC junior Stephanie Peacock captured the individual title in the 500-yard freestyle in a time of 4:38.39, beating her closest competitor by more than six seconds and setting meet and pool records in the process.
USC took first place with 366 points while the Tar Heels placed second with 292.5 points, just ahead of Florida, which finished with 289. The remainder of the field included Texas with 268 points, Louisville with 236 points and SMU with 209.5 points.
"We capped off the two-day SMU Classic with another day of really good swimming and diving," said UNC head coach Rich DeSelm. "We wanted to come here and race tough and after the first day we found ourselves in a fight for second place. We had a few key moments in tonight's meet where we preserved that opportunity to maintain second place. We had several swimmers step up and do a great job in their respective heats and those points proved crucial to our finishing in second place."
The Tar Heels started off the evening with a third-place finish in the 200-yard medley relay as Carly Smith, Katie Rechsteiner, Cari Blalock and Lauren Earp combined for a time of 1:42.13.
Junior Stephanie Peacock and sophomore Danielle Siverling came back in the next event to take the top spots in both the "A" and "B" finals of the 500-yard freestyle, combining to put the two best times of the night on the scoreboard. Peacock won the event in 4:38.39, breaking the meet and pool records set by Sarah McLarty of Florida in 2003. The previous records were 4:43.42. Siverling won the "B" final with a terrific time of 4:44.30, which was faster than the second place time in the "A" final.
Carly Smith was a key element in UNC's second-place finish as the junior from Chapel Hill finished second in the "A" final of 200-yard backstroke in 1:57.09 and second in the "B" final of the 200-yard butterfly in 2:01.40.
"Carly Smith really rebounded after a bit of a disappointing first day. She had a really nice 200 backstroke," said DeSelm. "But more importantly she provided the team a spark in the 200 fly by getting second in the B final. At that time we were getting some heat from other teams. I was really proud of Carly this evening."
Senior Katie Nolan also earned well-deserved praise from DeSelm after she placed second in the 200-yard butterfly in a time of 1:57.01. Nolan eradicated her previous career best of 1:58.26 that she set during the 2011-12 season. "That was simply another outstanding performance from Katie Nolan," said DeSelm. "It was an extremely well swum effort. She is having a great start to her senior year."
The Tar Heels finished strong with junior Cari Blalock taking third in the "A" final of the 200-yard individual medley and freshman Madison Burns copping second place in the "B" final. Blalock had a time of 2:00.63 and Burns touched in 2:02.25, taking two seconds off her time from the previous week in the tri-meet at South Carolina.
North Carolina's women and men will both be in action next Friday when the Tar Heels have their first home meet of the season. UNC will meet Virginia Tech at 5 p.m. at Koury Natatorium.

The 4 Most Important Charts Right Now
The current S&P 500 Index (SPX) 8.3% correction will not be arrested without the 4 catalysts shown in the charts below finding stabilization.
Trying to determine the macro outcome from Europe, U.S. FOMC policy, or a China slowdown is too uncertain and complicated at this point. A simpler strategy, which I am using right now, is to keep a watchful eye on the four charts below to determine if the correction trough is here. Oil, Apple, Small Caps, and JP Morgan were catalysts during the 30% rally from the October 4, 2011 low. Without stabilization in the recent decline of those four previous catalysts, it will be difficult for the market to find its footing.
1. I have not changed my outlook for Energy since I downgraded the XLE back in February. I still expect my next move will be to upgrade the XLE. A contributor to that upgrade would be the spot price of Oil (WTI) stabilizing (Fig 1.1). Currently, a major support level between $89 and $90 is being targeted. Previously, a ceiling for oil from late July to October 2011, this level must now provide support. I am watching the reaction to any challenge intently; it matters for the overall direction of the SPX.
2. The share price of Apple (AAPL) (Fig 1.2) has declined 17.7% from its all-time high of $644 on April 10, 2012. Whether it will be the support from the 100 day moving average at $527.17 or possibly a longer term technical support level from mid-February at $495-$500, the SPX cannot trough without AAPL arresting its current correction.
3. Small caps, as represented by the Russell 2000 Index (RTY) (Fig 1.3), are now challenging the 200 day moving average at 753.32 for the first time since early January. A high correlation exists between the direction of the SPX and the RTY 2000 day moving average. In the past year, the RTY selling off below the 200 day in late July perfectly telegraphed the disappointing end to 2011. Conversely, the early January break above the 200 day moving average accurately telegraphed the surprisingly strong SPX performance in Q1.
4. Although the focus of business headlines is on the austerity revolt in Europe, I still believe the Thursday May 10 post-close JP Morgan (JPM) (Fig 1.4) press conference was the catalyst for accelerating the decline in the SPX. Since that announcement, the SPX has lost near 4% of its 8.3% overall loss since the 1422.38 high on April 2, 2012. JPM is approaching a technical price gap from the first trading day of 2012 at $33.42 to $34.01. Should it find support there, that would be significant for the SPX to find its trough.

"I really like the way Sobolewski is playing right now," he said. "He's not just being a little point guard from the 60s."
The idea was this. Back then – at least in Carmody's opinion – the floor general would pass the ball upon crossing half court and then disappear.
As good as Sobolewski was last season, his coach prepared for better. In his freshman year, the point guard led the conference in assist-to-turnover ratio. He made the Big Ten All-Freshman Team. But naturally, people remember the shortcomings.
When it mattered most, the young point guard struggled. He missed all of his six field goal attempts in the heartbreaking Big Ten Tournament loss to Minnesota, and the Wildcats' tournament chances died unceremoniously. So when Carmody took the microphone before the season, he knew Sobolewski would not be the 60s point guard. He just couldn't disappear this season.
Granted, it was an uphill challenge trying to incorporate several new players. The point guard needed to learn their tendencies and help teach the offense. By all accounts, he did a phenomenal job. Freshman center Alex Olah said Sobolewski corrected his mistakes when necessary. He was a sophomore going on senior – and he understood the responsibility.
Only now are the difficulties and the realities catching up to Sobolewski. At times, he is visibly frustrated. A season that started out so promising has become a distant memory. You could easily argue he was the best player on the team early in the season, even with Drew Crawford in the lineup. Sobolewski distributed the ball and proved to be an emotional catalyst. It was the scrappy point guard who led the Wildcats to the stunning win at Baylor.
Just a game later, the team lost Crawford. Unprepared freshmen were thrown into the starting lineup. And Sobolewski kept urging them on.
He's always out there. Panic sets in for Carmody when he's not. In the revolving door of Northwestern players, Sobolewski serves as the constant. When he struggles, the team follows suit.
On Sunday, the point guard may have had the worst game of his career. He played 28 minutes and failed to establish himself in the 62-41 loss. His final line: no points, no assists. Despite the low expectations for this team due to injuries, fans and teammates are accustomed to counting on him. The pressure on any Big Ten point guard is immense. For Sobolewski, it's particularly noticeable.
"He's just going to have overcome it," Carmody said of the struggles. "And he will."
Seasons of NU basketball can age players. Pieces are in flux – this year because of academics and injuries – and that takes its toll. Expectations run high, and the hopes of Madness never fade. It's understandable.
The tournament hopes are delayed until next season. But Sobolewski has an opportunity in front of him. The young guys are coming together. Kale Abrahamson and Tre Demps are gaining valuable experience, which will be crucial to next year's team. Mike Turner has learned to contribute solid minutes as an undersized center. Sobolewski and Crawford will be the veterans and leaders of next year's team. And only Sobolewski will have had consistent time to work with them. These tournament teams that have success are guided by steady hands.
It's been a trying few months for Northwestern. Overmatched in terms of talent, this team competes with intangibles. When things fall apart, you have games like Sunday – a 21-point loss that seemed a hundred times worse than the final score. You can only imagine how the point guard feels when the shots don't fall. This is a long season.
Sobolewski is about universally respected for his hard-nosed play and for his leadership. This team, though, counts on his production every game. To compete, the Wildcats need him to finish strong. They need him to discover his consistency.
Dave Sobolewski no longer resembles the old-school point guard content to abandon the spotlight. He'll be counted on to help this team reach its ultimate goal.
He set the bar high. And when those crucial minutes arrive once more, Sobolewski cannot slip away quietly.
He's at the center of it all.

Yep - every semi auto that uses the browning tilt system has some wear there. Its very minor. Don't worry about it. The tennifer is still in the molecular level at the surface. So, U are still protected.
I am super anal retentive when it comes to the finish on my guns. I've had friends tease me about my "museum pieces" - and with some of my slides hard chromed, I need not worry about scratches anymore.
But, even on my Walthers, I didn't bother to refinish the barrels. U will get wear there, and on the top and bottom of the barrel itself, near the muzzle. They all do this.

I've loved comics since I was a kid. However, the way they are currently sold makes it impossible to buy all the books I would like to read.
Were talking $4 for a single issue and DC alone has like 50 on-going series that interconnect. That's just not logical, especially with all the other, cheaper places people can get entertainment.
Cable- $20/mo
Hulu- $8/mo
Netflix- $10/mo
The average comic issue is around 30 pages. You can read it in 10-15 minutes. Meaning you get about 30 minutes of entertainment for the same price as a month of Hulu.
I have no idea why publishers don't offer online services to compete with this. I'd personally pay $10/month to read all the current DC issues online. Maybe make it $15/mo for access to back issues.
So, have you read comics? Do you still? What do you think about their publishing methods?

Feds to let states pay to open parks
WASHINGTON - The Obama administration says it will allow states to use their own money to reopen some national parks that have been closed because of the government shutdown.
Governors in at least four states have asked for authority to reopen national parks within their borders because of the economic impacts caused by the park closures.
Interior Secretary Sally Jewell said in a letter Thursday to governors in Utah and other states that the government will consider offers to pay for park operations, but will not surrender control of national parks to the states.
Utah Gov. Gary Herbert has said his state has resources that could be used to operate the parks if federal funding is not available. Governors of South Dakota, Arizona and Colorado have made similar requests.

I don't know if I'm going to like it, but I applaud giving Michael "Disco Ball" Cors the heave-ho in favor of Zach Posen, who has not said anything interesting but nothing entertainingly dumb either. Agreed with the loser. The guy with the fake blonde hair probably kills people in new and creative ways, while always looking classic but with an edge.

Ok guys and gals...not sure how many of you are going to use this. I've been able to build a working SMALL range finder for just a touch under $100.
Now, when I say small I mean that this RF unit is pretty much the same size as a regular boba/jango RF. The screen inside of it is around 3/4 of an inch, which when I first found this little gem...I was not convinced it would work as good as it does. It is a black and white module, but it's also backlit which means you can see it when it's dark. Couple a night vision camera to it and you have a nice Night Vision RF =)
I'm currently writing up the WIP on this and will have it included in the Mercs tutorial library. I'll have a link up no later then this weekend with pictures. There is one slight modification you have to make to the vid controller board, basically removing a resistor and bridging the gap it leaves.
So, everyone who's ever thought about having a working RF...prepare yourselves =D

2002 Focus banging into 2nd and 3rd
First post but have used the site for a few years. My wife has a 2002 Focus SE Zetec with 187,000 miles and was having a problem with idle. Took it to a independent garage because I didn't have time to deal with it. I have a 2002 BMW X5 with 220,000 that takes most my time. First garage put a new passenger side motor mount in it and ran some sea foam through it. It acted OK for about 2 days. The rough idle came back. To be honest I don't know if it ever went away. It wasn't that bad so i decided to just let it be. It finally started getting worse so I needed an inspection and front end alignment anyway so I took it to another mechanic (independent) Its not throwing any codes by the way. This mechanic charges me 3 hours of setting the timing @ $70 an hour. The car was running the same. I blew up at that price and just took it home to look at it myself. I replaced the other two motor mounts and took the car for a spin rough idle and no banging into gear. Then started messing under the hood an found that the PCV hose had collapsed and had a hole in it. Replaced the hose and it now idles perfect in park. Put it in gear and the idle is rough. Took the car down the road and now after just replacing the hose and now the car bangs into second and third so hard the belt squeals when it happens. Any ideas what might have happened?
The check engine light is not on now is it? I doubt it has anything to do with the vacuum leak, unless you pulled a ground wire off to repair the vacuum problem.
Thanks for the reply I went out there to dig around again and saw that I had forgotten to plug the throttle position sensor back in. Still working on the rough idle in drive with foot on the brake.
You cannot set the timing on the Focus for one(it is controlled from the ECU). I suggest that you go get your money back for that much. It is aganst the law in most states to claim that he did work that IMO is not possible.
If I was you I'd clean or replace your IACV(idle air control valve)as well. You can get it at 10% over cost from Village Ford here, http://www.focusfanatics.com/forum/
Yeah, have you tried the typical stuff? Spark plugs, wires, clean MAF, air filter, fuel filter? I would also try an A/F reset after doing the "tune-up" mentioned above. It's easy, just disconnect the negative battery terminal for 10 mins or so. Then when you start the engine, allow it to idle for 5 mins after it drops out of warm up idle. It should settle down around 1k rpm and if you have a tach, it will fluctuate slightly around 1k. The computer then starts a test that lasts 5 mins. After that 5 mins, the idle will drop to normal which is around 700 rpm.
Now, Freemind is probably right because it seems like your idle is not going up like it should when you have the brake on in gear. I would clean the IACV first. You might want to double check that front motor mount too. We have had issues with some aftermarket mounts 3 in 4 fail quickly after installation. Check it by using your finger to push in on the rubber part of the mount. If it is not firm, then the fluid has leaked out of the mount.
Often a new passenger side mount can vibrate as bad as the old one did if not a Ford branded mount. Usually that sort of statement is highly suspect, but in this case it's true. Simply troll around here for all the guys who bought new ones and then started spending wasted money on other things when they weeded mount out. Later on it often turns out the NEW one sucks too.................
i bought a aftermarket mount and it blew apart in 3days....it wasnt oil filled like fords...
will never buy another...im going to go urethane...

|Topic Review (Newest First)
How much power will should i make?
Thanks for all the info! Im leaving the 906's at 64cc and I decided on a lunati bare bones 280/290 Duration, .443"/.465" Lift, 112/107 LSA/ICL. Also im getting some 5cc 4v relief flat tops. Using a GMPP composite head gasket .028 compressed. Static compression should be in the 9.8-10:1 range DCR about 7.8-8 which i can live with. If i can get 350hp out of it ill be happy.
i dont typically recomend Comp cams but these would be a decent fit.
they will have a little lobe, not a lot.
i dont hear you saying that you are changing you gears, stall... so you can't go with a cam that has a bunch of lope, everything has to go together. if you want a loppy cam you will need shorter gears (larger numerically) and a higher stall. and i have mentioned this before, buying a torque converter with a stall speed less than 2800 is pointless in my opinion. if you are willing to spend the money to put in a 2800-3200 stall and put in a set of 3.73-4.10 gears then i would say you could go with a higher duration cam but if not, you will need to stick with a cam in the 260 maybe 270 range, and for a hyd flat tappet cam i wouldn't use one that had to much than 50° between the advertised and @ .050 durations. i know that the first cam i posted does but it also has a lower lift which brings the ramp rate down.
[QUOTE=Raptorus1][QUOTE=my87Z] the factory dished pistons are what is acutally hurting you since you are acutally loosing power due to there not being a propper quench pad.
that is not exactly what i was talking about. i was talking about the fact that factory dished pistons are O shaped and dont have a flat side to them the way that D dished pistons do, this flat area at the back side of the D is called the quench pad, this is were much of the combustion will be focused on since it will be more compressed than in the dish, in a O dished pistons the "quench pad is acutally in the O and therefor is less compressed, this causes less combustion and more fuel to be unburt.
as for a proper quench, the area from the flat part of the piston crown at TDC to the head surface, .038-.046" is optimal. most people shoot for around .040-.042".
|Silver Surfer
A dished piston will have a little rim around the outer edge of the piston. The little rim is not enough surface area to cause a violent squishing action of the charge over into the combustion chamber area. Nor is is a large enough surface to help transfer heat from the piston to the cooler head.
Deck clearance and squish are not always a direct relationship.
the flat top pistons will be pushing your compression to the point where it will be harder to run to pump gas, it could be possible but not as easy. the flat tops will have you at around 10.4-.5:1 but the -12cc dished pistons will have you at around 9.5-.6:1. but all of that is based on them being 64cc and not milled down to 58cc. if they have really already been milled down then you will need to go with a -18cc dished piston, which then your compression would be the same as the 12cc with a 64cc head.
here are the 12cc pistons i would recomend.
but if the chambers are milled down to 58cc then you will want these 18cc
with these pistons you must follow the directions that comes with them pertaining to the piston rings and their specific gaps, that is very important.
[QUOTE=my87Z] the factory dished pistons are what is acutally hurting you since you are acutally loosing power due to there not being a propper quench pad.[QUOTE=my87Z]
Second question is there a design fault in the factor piston? by the calculations i have the quench would be about .065 which within the optimal range of .06-.08 correct me if im wrong.
How much power will should i make?
You know my87Z you do have a serious point. Those factory pistons have been keeping me up wondering if its a good move to keep them. I am lucky that I havent installed the vortecs yet. Im thinking about some flat tops (2 or 4 valve relief ??)for this setup. My hope is to keep the dynamic compression low enough to stay on pump gas though. As far as the cam goes that dept is my definite weakness. Im needing to get a cam that will get all i can out of it from about idle to 5500 and have a pretty notcible idle. any suggestions?
454C10 i think got confused as we both were commenting on a 305 motor the other day, the LO3 is a 305 and the LO5 is a 350.
to be honest i dont care for the cam you have chosen, it has an extemely aggressive ramp rate for a hyd flat tappet cam. i would be very weary of wiping out the cam with that aggressive of a ramp rate.
if i had to guess then i would say that you are in the 1hp/cube range. the factory dished pistons are what is acutally hurting you since you are acutally loosing power due to there not being a propper quench pad. if you where to have gone with a 12cc dished piston like the ones from KeithBlack and the factory 64cc vortec chambered heads you would likely be in the 380ish hp range
For a good estimate, I would find the power numbers from a similar built 350 then Multiply by 0.87.
305/350 = 0.87
So assuming that would be a 340hp build in a 350cid, then it would be a 295hp build with a 305cid.
How much power will should i make?
Im wondering how much power I should be making with this build I have going. Its a 88 L05 350 I kept the stock bottom end dished pistons and all in tact. I am changing the cam to (top candidate) a lunati Voodoo w/ adv. dur of 268/276, Duration @ .050 (Int/Exh): 227/233 and .489/.504 lift. I scrapped the 193's in favor of 906 vortecs which have been reworked. They will accept .550 lift and they have been milled down to 58cc. Using a edelbrock 2116 intake and holley 750 carb. by my calculations compression should be close to 9.7 to 1. Just trying to get a general estimate on power output. Thanks for any help.

I LOVE comfort food. I mean, what's not to love? Food that comforts the soul. Clearly I love it, or I'd not be so…well, round. One of my favorite comfort foods is macaroni and cheese. It's also one of my favorite things to cook. I make a mean mac'n'cheese, if I do say so myself, and yes, yes I am saying it. But earlier I tried the Ultimate Macaroni and Cheese recipe from "In the Kitchen with David," David Venable's new cookbook that's ALL about the comfort foods.
I had to modify the macaroni and cheese recipe just a tiny bit- we had a different kind of pasta and forgot to thaw bacon (seriously? who forgets BACON details? only me!) but we had a ham dinner the previous night and I decided that some ham would be just as delicious on the side.
But oh, my goodness. I made mine in my cast iron pan (always trying to get that iron in!) and dinner was divine.
All three kids had three helpings. I had two. Even my husband who is not a fan of pasta dishes in general, enjoyed this. I think it may be the mustard but I don't care. I love the Ultimate Macaroni & Cheese.
COMFORT FOODS THAT TAKE YOU HOMEIN THE KITCHEN WITH DAVIDDavid Venable will be the first to tell you: He loves his food. And, as the beloved QVC® program host of In the Kitchen with David®, he's put that passion on mouthwatering display, welcoming some of the greatest names in the food world.

Ok, I seem to be completely out of the loop with today's memes, so I have to ask, what's with all of the poptart references?

A flower vase! Great thinking! Those are coming along great man.
Thanks for the tips. A flower vase (wonders what the code word means)?
Seriously, great work! My only question is the positioning of the whip cord housing. Is it slightly too high on the gaunt?
Lookin great bro!
Ever since you told me at CIV you were going to make these, I have been patiently waiting. You are going to have the sliding pin closure right? I can't wait to see the finished product.
Looking great!!! As always, of course!
So looking forward to the finished gauntlets.
Excellent work, I look forward to seeing the end result.
I have been looking for some nice Gauntlets.
Lorenzon there are alot more people on here that will critique you than I. My only suggestion is to blacken out any lines you may have so others can compare them to ref pics.
Personally I think they are awesome man!!
Thanks guys. I've already made a couple of modification according to some feedback, and I'll check on that whipcord positioning.
Firstsonofsolo, your right, it will be easier to discern details once everything is one color...and not a palette of plastic, glue, bondo, and spot putty! Once I have all the pieces built, I'll give em all a coat of professional auto primer and then the details will be able to be seen better.
I'm working on the flamethrower at the moment, but I actually had to report back to work today...so fewer hours to prop build now.
I should have the left gauntlet temporarily assembled by tonight, so I'll shoot some progress pics and post em.
Wow, as always, your making amazing stuff! Any guess on a price? And what are you going to cast them in? Sorry if you stated that already and I missed it. I'd love to see every little detail your putting in to these on the final product!
A few more progress pics.
Looking good as always Cruz!
...very kewel...cannot wait until these get molded
Man those are looken sharp there. I cant wait to see the finished product. You got some skills! :thumbup
Cruzer, If you have some MoW gauntlets to put next to your gauntlets as comparision, I would really apreciate it
Thanks for the positive support guys...it's moving this project along. They are still both 8.5" in length and fit my 7.25" wrists and 12" forearms perfectly while I'm wearing wool insulated leather gloves and jumpsuit sleeves.
A few more progress pics.

great work cruzer!!
Sweetness!!! Very nice job L!
Those look great!
Thanks guys, I appreciate the feedback. Let me know of any suggestions.
I'll notch out the recessed areas for the exposed hinge once I receive some very accurate hinge that's coming all the way from Italy.
I'll also start fabricating the right gauntlet top hose attachment and hose fittings, and flamethrower nozzles.
I edited the thread with some better pics.
You think they'll too small for my scale?
In my opinion these have been scaled to ideally fit anyone between 5'6"-5'10"!
