What Is a Heart Healthy Diet?
A heart-healthy diet is one that limits sodium, certain types of fat, and cholesterol . This type of diet is recommended for:
- People with any form of cardiovascular disease, such as coronary artery disease (CAD), peripheral vascular disease (PAD), previous heart attack, or previous stroke.
- People with risk factors for cardiovascular disease, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or diabetes.
- Anyone who wants to lower their risk of developing cardiovascular disease.
Sodium is found in salt, which is added to food. In general, most people consume much more sodium than they need. Diets high in sodium can increase blood pressure and lead to water retention. On a heart-healthy diet, you should consume no more than 2,400 milligrams (mg) of sodium per day—about the amount in one teaspoon of table salt. The foods highest in sodium include salt processed foods, convenience/junk foods, and preserved foods. Table salt contains nearly half sodium.
Cholesterol is a fat-like, waxy substance in your blood. Our bodies make some cholesterol. It is also found in animal products, with the highest amounts in fatty meat, egg yolks, whole milk, cheese, shellfish, and organ meats.
It is normal and important to have some cholesterol in your bloodstream. However, too much cholesterol can cause plaque to build up within your arteries, which can eventually lead to a heart attack or stroke.
The 2 types of cholesterol that are most commonly referred to are:
- Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol—Also known as bad cholesterol, this is the cholesterol that tends to build up along your arteries. Bad cholesterol levels are increased by eating fats that are saturated or hydrogenated (trans).
- High-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol—Also known as good cholesterol, this type of cholesterol actually carries cholesterol away from your arteries and may, therefore, help lower your risk of having a heart attack. You can raise this good cholesterol by including olive oil, canola oil, avocados, or nuts in your diet. Exercise has been shown to raise HDL levels, too.
Eating a heart healthy diet can help lower LDL and raise HDL cholesterol levels.
Fats are calorie dense, therefore they pack a lot of calories into a small amount of food. Even though fats should be limited due to their high calorie content, not all fats are bad. In fact, some fats are quite healthful. Fat can be broken down into 4 main types.
- The fats that are good for you include:
- Monounsaturated fat—found in oils such as olive and canola, avocados, and nuts and natural nut butters; can decrease total cholesterol levels, while keeping levels of HDL cholesterol high
- Polyunsaturated fat—found in oils such as safflower, sunflower, soybean, corn, and sesame; can decrease total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol
- Omega-3 fatty acids—a subcategory of polyunsaturated fats, such as those found in fatty fish like salmon, trout, tuna, mackerel, herring, and sardines; these fats can decrease risk of arrhythmias, decrease triglyceride levels, and slightly lower blood pressure
The fats that you want to limit are:
Saturated fat—found in animal products, many fast foods, and a few vegetables; increases total blood cholesterol, including LDL levels
- Animal fats that are saturated—butter, lard, whole-milk dairy products, meat fat, and poultry skin
- Vegetable fats that are saturated—palm oil, coconut oil, cocoa butter
- Hydrogenated or trans fat are found in margarine and vegetable shortening, most shelf-stable snack foods, and fried foods. They increase LDL and decrease HDL. This is a fat that has no healthful qualities. You should try to eliminate trans fats from your diet completely.
- Saturated fat—found in animal products, many fast foods, and a few vegetables; increases total blood cholesterol, including LDL levels
It is generally recommended that you limit your total fat for the day to less than 25%-35% of your total calories. If you follow a 1,800-calorie heart healthy diet, for example, this would mean 60 grams of fat or less per day.
Saturated fat and trans fat in your diet raises your blood cholesterol the most, much more than dietary cholesterol does. For this reason, on a heart-healthy diet, less than 7% of your calories should come from saturated fat and less than 1% from trans fat. On a 1,800-calorie diet, this translates into less than 14 grams of saturated fat per day, leaving 46 grams of fat to come from mono- and polyunsaturated fats.

- Choose heart-healthy fats such as canola, olive, and flaxseed oil, and foods high in heart-healthy fats, such as nuts, seeds, soybeans, tofu, and fish.
- Eat fish at least twice per week. The fish highest in omega-3 fatty acids and lowest in mercury include salmon, herring, mackerel, sardines, and canned chunk light tuna. If you eat fish less than twice per week or have high triglycerides, talk to your doctor about taking fish oil supplements.
Read food labels:
- For products low in fat and cholesterol, look for fat free, low-fat, cholesterol free, saturated fat free, and trans fat free—Also scan the Nutrition Facts Label, which lists saturated fat, trans fat, and cholesterol amounts.
- For products low in sodium, look for sodium free, very low sodium, low sodium, no added salt, and unsalted
- Skip the salt when cooking or at the table; if food needs more flavor, get creative and try out different herbs and spices. Garlic and onion also add substantial flavor to foods.
- Trim any visible fat off meat and poultry before cooking, and drain the fat off after browning.
- Use cooking methods that require little or no added fat, such as grilling, boiling, baking, poaching, broiling, roasting, steaming, stir-frying, and sautéing.
- Avoid fast food and convenience food. They tend to be high in saturated and trans fat and have a lot of added salt.
- Talk to a registered dietitian for individualized diet advice.

I'm thinking this may have been operator error on my part.
Shooting 3 1/2" at geese yesterday, and twice in a row I had two shells apparently try and feed out of magazine at once, resulting in a jam-up.
Am wondering if I failed to push in the second shell far enough, resulting in the last shell fed into the magazine sliding back out into the area between bolt and carrier that wasn't noticed until the one in chamber was fired.
Has anyone else run into this situation?

TURKU, Finland - For the first time in international field competition, the Iroquois Nationals have defeated a United States lacrosse team despite a big day by UNC incoming freshman Michael Tagliaferri. The Iroquois under-19 team beat the U.S., 15-13, in a pool play game at the Federation of International Lacrosse U19 World Championships on Tuesday in Finland.
Tagliaferri had five points on four goals and an assist and two of his goals came in a fourth quarter rally by the American side. The Iroquois Nationals pulled off the upset despite having only one assisted goal amongst their 15 tallies.
"It's pretty amazing," Iroquois coach Freeman "Boss" Bucktooth said. "The guys came out to play and showed what they could do. ... We've got a lot of talent on the team and a great coaching staff. We put everything together. We'll walk away with a win [over] the USA team at any time."
The U.S. led 5-2 after the first quarter and 8-6 at halftime, but the Iroquois rallied to take a 9-8 lead less than four minutes into the second half and never trailed the rest of the game. The teams were tied at 11 and 13 in the fourth quarter before Hank Delisle scored the go-ahead goal with 5:35 left.
The U.S. had a man-up chance with less than three minutes remaining, but a Matt Kavanagh try didn't get through. The Iroquois got possession and, after a time out with two minutes left, Lyle Thompson eluded multiple defenders to kill clock, and he drew two penalties, helping Delisle tack on an insurance goal with 49 seconds to go.
Kavanagh and Michael Tagliaferri each scored a team-high four goals for the U.S., and each scored twice in the fourth quarter. Kavanagh also finished with two assists. Delisle, Brendan Bomberry and Randall Staats each had hat tricks for the Iroquois.
The U.S. finishes pool play with a 2-2 record and will now play the winner of Germany-Wales in a quarterfinal game at 4 p.m. Wednesday in Turku. Team USA has never needed to play in the quarterfinal round since sanctioned international U19 play began in 1988. The loss drops its overall record to 38-2, after an 11-9 overtime loss to Canada on Saturday and a 20-1 win against England on Sunday.
The Iroquois (3-1) will be seeded second for the medal rounds and receive a bye to the semifinals, where a potential rematch with the U.S. awaits at 8 p.m. local time Thursday. Canada (4-0) is the top seed and plays a semifinal at 5 p.m. Thursday against an opponent to be determined
The win is the first outdoor, field victory for the Iroquois against the U.S., although they have beaten the U.S. in previous world indoor championships.

That's not even fair! Lmao!
I don't know about fair, but it's not right! :D
Back on topic: have you considered making a base for this? Themed from a scene that the SE Fett appears in, like Jabba's Palace, ideally you'd want something with up lighters inside; give it some atmosphere etc. I can't think of a scene?
I actually have, that will be my next project after this is done. I get the rest of my armor and gear in February from Bobamaker so it should be done later that month. I figured a wooden box / platform with a short angled wall behind it. Then coated with some sort of texture that looks like a mud hut or sand from Jabbas palace.
Or you just empty a bag of building sand on the floor around it. That would be pretty much screen accurate and easy to do!
my wife would kill me
Not huge update but working on the shin tools. Masking fluid and some paint. Actual Patterson squeegee and chemical stirrer
Not 100% screen accurate but limited on spare funds. I did use the leftover cut piece from the squeegee on the security tool. I weathered it a little. I still need to paint the red stripe. The two silver pieces are from an exacto knife I cut in half.
Things always seem to come together well the second time around. Looking good!
As it stands now. I've kinda hit a stand still. I'm waiting on my shipment of chest, back and collar and gaunts. Then the fun begins.
This does give me a little time to acquire founds parts. I just scored a mq-1. Also finished the white straps for knees and thong for cod and butt piece.
Nice build 22 it'd going to turn out great.
Thanks beans I appreciate that
Your going to tell me where you got the manniquine...the pose is outstanding.
bah dont know how i missed that THANX, gonna have to take a look
I thought you had modded that mannequin...that's absolutely perfect for a Fett....or at least close to it anyway
Search military manne on eBay, I'm pretty sure that's how I found it. Hope this helps
PERFECT THANKS thats awesome
I was going for the aggressive combat stance. I'm glad you guys like it
Received my shipment from Bobamaker. Absolutely wonderful and well made stuff. Looks like ill be busy for the next couple of weeks. Daz was awesome enough to upgrade to his V3 right before my order was completed. Total class act and great gesture.
It has begun.
That's some sweet looking gear you got there. I expect lots of updates. :D
Which stencil will you use (if any)? I know the suit is ROTJ SE, but I ask this because I added new stencils (actually the same stencils, but made to fit the new armor templates) to my existing ROTJ armor stencil thread and I was curious if the general shape will fit or not the bobamaker armor.
So far you are doing a great job! Keep it up like this!

Local education agencies (LEAs) are required by state and federal statute to provide accessible instructional materials in a timely manner to students with print disabilities. In 2006, a National Instructional Materials Accessibility Standard (NIMAS) was finalized to provide consistency in the electronic source files used to produce these accessible materials. Later that year, the National Instructional Materials Accessibility Center (NIMAC) began operations. The NIMAC is designed to aid schools in the provision of accessible materials by acting as a central repository for NIMAS files. Files are placed in the NIMAC by textbook publishers as a condition of purchase contracts for materials adopted by the LEAs. LEAs must decide to opt-in or opt-out of utilizing the NIMAC. However, choosing to opt-out does not relieve the LEA of its obligation to provide accessible instructional materials in a timely manner.
Files placed in the NIMAC may only be used to produce accessible instructional materials for students with individualized education programs (IEPs) who meet the criteria of a person with a visual impairment or print disability as defined in a 1931 federal law (2 U.S.C. 135a; 46 Stat. 1487) commonly known as the Chaffee Amendment.
While anyone may search the NIMAC, only authorized users may request or download files. In Arizona, the Arizona Department of Education, Exceptional Student Services (ADE/ESS) is the only authorized user. Schools wishing to access a NIMAC file submit a request to ADE/ESS which then authorizes a download and assigns the file to an Accessible Media Producer for the creation of the accessible instructional material in whatever format is required.

Admiral Mike Mullen, chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff told Pakistan colleagues his nation was committed to a policy which respects the territorial integrity of Pakistan even as President Zardari and military leaders made it plain to the visiting American their intention to fight against any further US military attacks on their soil. It was made clear to Mullen that Islamabad would not compromise on the issue of national sovereignty and wanted an end to American ground and missile attacks. The US embassy issued a statement that said: "Admiral Mullen reiterated US commitment to respect Pakistani's sovereignty and to develop further US-Pakistan cooperation and co-ordination on these critical issues that challenge the security and well-being of the people of both countries." Sources indicate there was a blunt exchange between Mullen and Pakistani military leaders.
Within a few hours after the American embassy statement was released there was a new report of a US missile attack in South Waziristan which resulted in the death of about six people. American sources claim the attack with co-ordinated with Pakistan military officials.

Shoreline nests
NH boaters warned to watch out for loons
By DAN SEUFERT
Union Leader Correspondent | June 23. 2013 6:56PM
A loon in a raft nest put on Lake Winnipesaukee last year by Loon Preservation Committee volunteers and staff. (COURTESY PHOTO)
The peak of the hatching period of loon chicks usually occurs around the Fourth of July, at the same time that the lakes are busy with holiday boaters, said Harry Vogel, senior biologist and executive director of the committee.
"It's bad timing," Vogel said. "It's nesting season, and one of the biggest challenges loons face is the heavy number of lake users."
Last year, committee biologists recorded 188 pairs of nesting loons on New Hampshire lakes. They also recorded 99 "failed" nests, Vogel said. Loon nests fail because of human disturbance, predation or water-level changes.
"The first one is too many," he said.
Loon nests are generally made of matted grasses and twigs, built near the water level along shorelines. They like to nest near islands or in coves on shorelines.
• Boaters (and shore walkers) should stay back at least 150 feet from a nesting loon, further back if the loon shows any signs of distress, such as craning its neck low over a nest. Loons may even appear to be injured or dead while in this head-down position, but it is simply a response to the close approach of people, according to the committee.
Loons are a threatened species in New Hampshire and are protected by state and federal laws from hunting or harassment, including flushing loons from nests. Anyone observing harassment of loons can contact New Hampshire Fish and Game Department at 271-3361 or the Marine Patrol at 293-2037.

Celgene: It's All Just a Big Misunderstanding
Maybe this really is a stockpickers' market--at least in biotech--as shares of Celgene (CELG) fall and Alexion Pharmaceuticals (ALXN) surges.
Citigroup's Yaron Werber explains what's happening with Celgene:
Today [Celgene] is down due in part to critical editorial correspondences published today in the NEJM and as investors were underwhelmed by Celgene's FY14 guidance. Also some investors are taking profits and moving to Alexion given their good FY14 guidance. In addition, Celgene's Q4:13 call was uneventful so there appears to be selling pressure following a solid run over the past 18 months.
Today, two editorial correspondences raised concerns about Abraxane benefits, toxic effects, incremental cost and the effect of pancreatic tumor location on the drug's efficacy. We believe [Celgene's] rebuttal letter published alongside the critiques not only addressed concerns but suggest additional benefits for Abraxane. Hence, we believe this is a non-event and the drug will be a strong seller in this setting. We are buyers on today's weakness.
Celgene reported a profit of $1.50 cents a share, below forecasts for $1.54. But even earnings weren't necessarily as bad as they seem, Werber says. He explains:
Celgene reported a relatively uneventful Q4:13 as the company pre-announced results and gave guidance on Jan 13th. Overall Celgene had a solid Q4:13 and given the strong fundamentals we believe their '14-'15 guidance is relatively conservative and leaves room for upside...
Celgene's pipeline is advancing rapidly this to continue to drive interest. We believe the upcoming Otezla ph 3 ankylosing spondylitis data expected in H1:14 is overlooked and could be a significant commercial opportunity given the lack of effective treatment options outside of biologics...
Celgene remains one of our top picks in lg-cap in addition to [Biogen Idec (BIIB) and Gilead Sciences (GILD)].
As Werber notes, investors have rushed into Alexion today, thanks to its stellar earnings report. Alexion said it earned 87 cents, above forecasts for 84 cents, and also said its 2014 profits should top estimates as well.
Brean Capital's Jonathan Aschoff and Yi Cheng call it a "solid beat & raise." They write:
Our key takeaway from today's call is that aHUS will significantly drive Soliris global sales in 2014 and that Alexion is highly committed to developing a portfolio of drugs for diseases that are both rare and severe...Sales in Europe should increase in 2014 as many European countries will have their first full year of Soliris sales for aHUS. Regarding aHUS, Alexion will continue to build on its strong penetration in the U.S., E.U., and Japan, as well as complete its reimbursement across Western Europe and add other major countries. Management emphasized on the call that the incidence of aHUS is higher than that for PNH. Given our increased revenue growth projection, we are raising our [target price] to $200 from $142.
Shares of Celgene have dropped 3.2% to $155.33 at 2:44 p.m., while Alexion has surged 22% to $163.32. Vertex Pharmaceuitcals (VRTX) has risen 5.4% to $83.11 after reporting earnings after yesterday's close, while Biogen Idec is up 4.8% to $320.07 after reporting earnings yesterday. Gilead Sciences has gained 2.6% to $81.89.

Peace out Brother! May the Force be with you in your life's journey and endeavors. You will be missed.
Sorry to see you leaving Jason. You've been around a long time. Hope you change your mind.:thumbsup
I'm sorry to see you leave, Jason. I thank you for all of the help you gave to a lot of the members here myself included. I will definitely miss having you around here.
Take care.
Ive been a member here for two and a half years and in the early days of my membership I felt very welcome here. More recently though I too have become dispondant at the elitist and clique attitudes that is becoming more prevelant. Treatment of newcomers has sometimes been less than hospitable and the current trend of ignoring PMs is something that has infuriated me. I guess a low postcoutn makes you a second class citizen around here.
I couldn't agree more.
I have complained to the mods about this, including naming names ,on several occasions over the last couple of years and either excuses were made or the pm's were ignored completely. It does seem quite evident that despite what some of the mods are saying on the boards several members are protected from upon high. This is the reason I and a lot of members I know are now content to just lurk and not post these days, for fear of unwarrented/unjustified attacks and critisism.
It is a sad day when they appear willing to let the boards be over run by individuals willing to drive out both newbies and the old guard alike.
Skygunbro, its a shame you are leaving and a big loss to the forums, but frankly I can't blame you.
What a shame. While I agree with most of what you said SkyGunBro. At the same time a community is made better by folks living up to what you are claiming you want to see rather then leaving because one or two folks spoil the party. There will be highs and lows no matter where you go and I have never seen anything any different on any other board to lead me to believe otherwise. Its sad but just a fact of life that dosnt seam to ever go away.
Whether your on TDH, the RPF, Bikerscout.net, the 501st forums, The another board or any other board for that matter you will get spoil sports, people jumping onto newbies, clicks, elitist selling... ect ect. I believe its standing up for what you believe in and acting how you would like to see others to act that will make where ever you log on to a better place.
Take care and good luck on your future projects.
Pretty much what Justin said... clearly you haven't been around on the net much because many of the problems we have here are prevalent in every online community. I recently joined a forum, totally unrelated to props and almost had to laugh as I can virtually place names of members from our forum on members from this new forum based on their attitudes and demeanor!
The things with the cliques and elitism lately really has gotten out of control. It is absolutely pathetic to see how some people choose to behave and that some people have such little self esteem and worth that they have to play "god" in an arena like this to make themselves feel like they have some value. The worst part is that it is generally (here and everywhere else I have gone) the most talented among us who feel the need to act the most childishly. However, as long as people condone/overlook those actions, worship those people and give them power, they will continue to misuse it. That is just the way it is. I think it is unrealistic to expect the administration to do something about it. They can't force a certain individual to sell a particular item to a particular person. They can't force people to like one another or be gracious. They can't force people to realize the board and people they continually poop all over is the same board and people who have given them their "celebrity" status in this tiny sliver of society. It is very sad but I have seen it again and again here and in many other places.
In regard to the newbies... there is no reason to be rude to them, but the fact of the matter is that it is pretty arrogant and self-important to come here to TDH and expect to be hand fed the information that is already readily available on this board. If you are too lazy to simply do a search, why should I take MY time to type it all out for you? Again, there is no justification for old members being rude about it, but it isn't out of line to tell a newb to use the search function. It is an inappropriate sense of entitlement to think that and old timer should spoon feed you the things you can easily find for yourself.
On a final note, I really think it is silly for you to leave in a huff because everyone won't play the way you deem they should. If I did that, I could pretty much just shut my internet connection off and never go online again. There will always be those who choose to be rude, unscrupulous, liars, pot-stirrers, and trouble makers. Some are clever enough to stay just below the radar and so they will be here. Just ignore them and enjoy the good things, the positive contributions, the people who are truly trying to help one another. There are still plenty of those people here and this is still a great community. As much as we wish some would just fade away, they won't and even if they do, there will be others who will step in to take their place, but by letting them drive you from a place you love, you only give them more power.
What the heck happened??? :confused
Ouch. Hadn't even seen that response!
If you are too lazy to simply do a search, why should I take MY time to type it all out for you?
This isn't really my fight or anything, but I felt the need to point this out: if a newbie asks a question, and you reply with a snarky remark, aren't you taking time to reply anyway? Why not use that time to type out something constructive or helpful?
(Not that I'm accusing you of ripping on newbies left and right; I'm using "you" in the general sense).
I certainly understand where you are coming from and agree. There is no need for "snarky" responses to newbies but I also believe in the saying - give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. teach him how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. I believe this saying is absolutely perfect for this situation. Teach a new member how to look things up for themselves and they will be able to for the duration of their time here. Of course teaching them to do this should be done with kindness and in the spirit of helping them out.
I wasnt going reply here again although I do appreciate the support and your kind words.
But let this be said. I knew somehow this was going to get turned around so I was the bad guy or the one throwing a temper tantrum.
Im not leaving because the board doesnt work the way I think it should Im leaving for several reasons.The biggest one is the elitist attititude held by alot of the senior members.And yes I agree no matter what board you go to there are always guys like that there.
And I admit I can be thinned skinned at times and tend to get amped up over things that may seem trivial to others.
The other reason is the deception the certain few priveldged ones that say "poof" look what I made and never have to show WIP pics but are the first to ask others "where are the WIP pics." and basically insinuated you copied it.
These guys are protected because they make cool stuff and if slapped on the hand for their actions they retaliate by not selling their wares to the people that reprimanded them.So what happens...they get away with anything and everything.
Some of these people have attained a GOD complex and all their little minions that follow them around and treat them as such just compound the complex.
I also think that blackballing people all the time from certain for sale items is wrong and should not be allowed.Unless you know its a recaster then all items should be offered to anyone who wants them and not because you know the right people or greased the right palms.
If your doing a limited run and the allotment has been bought up then fine but open ended runs should be offered to anyone who wants them.
Another thing there are some people on here who never help out and only come on here to hock their wares...
And the MR helmet thread isnt what set me off it just added to it.My point was that the MR helmet is the most accurate bar none readily available helmet as compared to the rubies,Don post DP deluxe....Am I wrong???
And dont like being shat on or made out to be a tool because of my opinion. Am I a fett expert...NO never claimed to be I thought that was the point of the board for people wanting to learn...So Ill leave you few "experts" to quibble amonst each other......
The dented helmet is a good place with ALOT of good people and yes it has its issues like anywhere else but until these issues and the people that create the issues get weeded out then I chose not to be a part of it.
MY PM box is shut off . I have no open deals on here with anyone so this is a good time to walk away.Mods and admins you may close my account......
Hey SGB,
I realy feel sorry that you will leave this board.
I agree that sometimes this board or some of it´s members are to rough.
I had some occurrences here as well and I felt like this:http://karrierebibel.de/wordpress/wp...007/08/wut.JPG
But the most of our members are nice, friendly and interesting friends.
They care about you or if you are in trouble they care about your problems.
So think again about your step and
let those voices that want to bring you down fall in silent.
You are a part of this family, You are the SGB!:thumbsup
Everything is 2nd best short of having the actual screen used helmet - period.
But lets talk about these plugs and such,
who can say what damage and scratches and wonkiness was caused by poor casting or bad handling? Who is to say that these coveted and quickly recasted "official" copies of one of the alledeged line up of Fett helmets was given kid glove care when molded? Perhaps this had a big impact on the overall pulled piece, I don't know....:facepalm
It appears they were quickly molded/recasted because it was a no-no.
What about the handling of the costumes pieces over the years. I've seen pics of the ankle spats displayed over the wrists!
Who can say whats completely accurate based on photos from when the costumes were haphazzardly thrown onto old shelving (as seen in the cd pics) and such have caused ?
At any rate, the MR for me is a helmet I can get that was digitally scanned from an official helmet which I think looks really good and with some minor touch ups can be made very screen accurate.
The best part is I (and anyone)can get one without having to confim my alliances/friendships here or having to deal with someone doing a half-cocked background check on me just to get something fan made around here,
by begging for one or having to "kiss up" constantly and hope...or having to deal with secret web sites inside this web site, broken promises, certain people getting stuff then throwing it up in everyones faces who did not, pics that were supposed to be posted "for the community" but were not, ect, ect, ect, blah, blah blah,
You know - Jason had the right idea and I shame myself for not following his lead earlier - good by all......
I prefer to leave here with my dignity not having to begg someone for something...
Skygunbro and pghfett,
I got alot of respect for the both of you and we have even talked one on one over the years about this and many other things in this wonderful hobby. While I totally respect your decision to do what you are doing, again, as some of our fellow TDHers have mentioned, allowing the "cool Kids Club" to have that much power is not worth the effort. We all know it exists, but ignoring them and letting them feel like they are better than everyone else honestly is the best way to deal with them. I've fought this battle before way back when and it never really changed. Heck, I've even been called a "CKclub member" myself, but the fact remains at the end of the day you are what you are. Being "someone" on the net and being that persona in person is worlds apart. I found this out at C3 when I went to TDH get together. Needless to say if you dont recall me being there (for those who are thinking back) I was, but as the cliques broke off into their groups I just went back to my room kinda befuddled and discouraged to find that newbies and or newer members weren't really welcome. Not excluded, just not openly welcome. Even got snubbed by a GREAT contributor to the Clonetroopers.net when I complimented his costume.
No,I am not bothered byit and I contribute it partially to my own inability at the time to justjumping in and introducing myself. I met Seeker and MiraxH, both of which were very cool.
Anyway, my point being, with things like this a thick skin is almost a necessary commodity. It's not that anyone wants to be a jerk (in this community), but it's not an easy club to be apart of outside of the people in the know. We have our fair share of people who do not need to be representative of what TDH is all about,but you'll have that in any club. I'm a proud member of the 501st and if you think there are elitists here...well within the 501st dynamic there are worse people and they don't og out of their way to hide it either.
I'm not defending anyone, but guys you make this hobby and are both major contributors. Let the kids play in the street, they will learn that what goes around, comes around. Karma always wins regardless.
peace bros!
Holy cow!! :eek
Jason... now Mike???
Okay seriously! What the heck is going on????? :confused :(
Am I missing something here?? :facepalm
Sorry theres no "cool kids" here anyway, by societies standards were all a bunch of freakn dorks that play dress up.:lol Cool kids on a costuming forum hunh, that's like saying I'm the smartest kid in a class full of children with down syndrome. :rolleyes I know what SGB is saying and it's been going on for years, however TDH is for the most part a wonderful resource for this hobbie. As with anything in life, you just gotta look past the BS. On that note, if ANYBODY ever needs my help (newbe or not)please feel free to PM and I'll do what I can for you.:)
In regard to your belief that a seller should sell to anyone who wants an item, that could be argued either way. In a perfect world it would be nice. However, there is no law that you MUST sell to everyone and wouldn't you be unhappy if the administration tried to force you to sell an item to someone you didn't want to. What is completely pathetic and contemptible are those who more or less hang their products over a potential buyers head in an effort to mainpulate them or won't sell to them because they won't lick the boots of the seller and slander the seller's enemies. And yes... that goes on here, but I would again ask you, what is your realistic expecation of the administration in these instances? Should they force a seller to sell to certain individuals? Should they ban those who won't? Do you really want a board that attempts to exhert that type of tyranny over its members?
there's a lot of negative sort of stuff circling around the prop hobby surrounding elitism, favoritism, cliques, etc... always has been, always will be.
it usually revolves around peoples' willingness to share what they have or what they know.
there are those that do some really great thing and can't wait to share it with the world.
there are others that share with a limited set of friends and that's it.
any situation where people are regularly exposed to things that they can't have will generate some degree of negativity somewhere.
for whatever reason, there just seems to be a lot of it going around now. RPF, TDH, MEPD, etc... all seem to have something going on that comes back to the sharing thing.
it annoys me quite a bit, but it is what it is, and i just shrug it off and move on. i'm not going to let a few bleepin' bleeps get in the way of my fun :)
You are right Pennywise and while I used the term "cool kids" more as a term of description/example, its because I dont like the term "elitist". This community has been the best one of all the one's I frequent and while it is a public forum, it also means that people aren't perfect. I think Jason and Mike will be cool after this blows over because realistically this "problem" is not exclusive to TDH it is just the prop community in general and sometimes you can't do anything about how people treat one another.(IMHO)
I can see why you are leaving....and I left for a while because of similar events, and things haven't really changed.
I have gotten in a few tussles on this forum, quite a few times.. Some were completely my fault...and others I was retaliating, and it just got shot into my face. I am actually surprised I was not banned, at least temporarily.
I came here, and I got some of the n00b treatment, but not much. Eventually, I got a "Know-it-all" attitude as well. Looking back at the arguments, I just read and say: "Wow"
Some other things on this forum bug the cr*p out of me...but that is the way it is run, and what the majority believe...oh well.
The fact is, there are many here who are protected by their high post count, and the fact they have been here for a while...while this is saddening, there is not much one can do about it.
And to the post of some who believe that other forums are like this, fact is...that's not entirely true, not one bit.
I am on a few other forums, and a current one I am on...I never see a conflict, as on TDH, you can expect one almost every other day.
Good luck with everything, and stay safe!
P.S.-I think I've found my new 'signature'.
Sorry to see you go! But I can completely understand your reasons.
I feel that I have done my fair share of contributing to this board and helping out new members, but I find myself feeling like an outsider.
I cant even get some folks to reply to my PMs and e-mails when I want to get in on a run. I have even gotten hate mail accusing my work (templates & patterns) of infringing on their prop business. I just dont understand the attitudes of some folks.
Good luck with your new ventures.

Everything Emma Thompson owns fits in a suitcase. She moves from one roach infested motel to another. She and Jake, her five-year-old son, who can see the future, are running from the men intent on taking him. Emma will do anything to protect him, even when it means accepting the help of a stranger named Will. Jake insists she needs Will, but Emma's never needed help before. And even though she's learned to trust her son, it doesn't mean she trusts Will.
Mercenary Will Davenport lives in the moment. Hauling Emma to South Dakota should have been an easy job, but his employer neglected to tell him about Emma's freaky son and the gunmen hot on her trail. Instinct tells him this job is trouble, but nothing can prepare him for Jake's proclamation that Will is The Chosen One, who must protect Emma from the men hunting her power. A power she doesn't know she has.
Will protects Emma and Jake on a cross-country chase from the men pursuing them, while struggling with memories from his past, his apprehension of Jake, and his growing attraction to Emma. Will's overwhelming urge to protect Emma surprises him, especially since it has nothing to do with his paycheck and possibly everything to do with the tattoo Jake branded on his arm. Rich and powerful men are desperate to capture Emma, and Will must discover why before it's too late.

"Honest and Constructive Feedback"
I'm not going to take time to re-invent a way to explain what the story is about. Don't be lazy, read the summary of the book. I am going to take time to tell you what I think worked brilliantly and what felt a little unpolished.
I am going to separate the performance of the reader from the content of the book.
First the book:
There is always a need to suspend disbelief when you are dealing with fantasy or science fiction. That is also the case in this book. I purchased the kindle and the audible version of this book, and was intrigued enough with the plot premise and (let's face it) there was a sale, so I did purchase the kindle version of the other books.
I really found it fascinating that Jake (the son) channels information that saves their collective butts. I found the unfurling hints to his parentage intriguing enough to order the other books before I'd finished this one.
High notes included a bright and imaginative plot and plenty of action with a whollop of mystery. The thoughts character's were thinking added to the story in a positive way.
Low notes: This first book felt a little unpolished. It would have taken just a small number of words to establish the presence of Jake's gift(s) without it feeling silly or like she was a parent with crumbling boundaries who allowed her son to run their life. One well worded paragraph could have made us all a believer. As it was, it took some effort to suspend disbelief. Which, in turn made the growth of Jake's gifts feel out of place/disjointed.
Will's temper tantrums were the kind of childish we expected from Jake. They negatively effected the story and didn't establish a fear of intimacy. They just highlighted immaturity. There were other moments where I felt like there was a stereotyping - such as the "on the road" waitress that is brassy enough to give a man with a child and woman present her phone number. Really, junior high relationship drama. Badly done. and yet...
The dialogue was the weakest point. The dialogue outlining the attraction and then the romance between Emma and WIll was truly poorly done. It included cheesy pick up lines.
This book has good bones, but needs some refinement.
About the reader, John Mierau
Let me start by saying that I absolutely love the quality and the timbre of his voice. There are portions of this story where he really shines and delivers in a way that someone with a thinner, reedier voice never will. You can't teach what he has because it is a gift of nature. Nice, wonderful, rich, warm tones!
AND.... I would implore him to really engage in acting classes. Not only was the dialogue of the book a weak point, but John Mierau did not help it along by any means. He needs to work on his ability to emote. It was nearly impossible in some places to tell whether the five year old boy, the woman or the man was speaking. Same voice, same tone, same emotion to all three at times.
I would absolutely smack the producer around a little bit because there were a few occasions where Mr. Mierau made an error (hey, we're all human) and it should have been re-recorded in that spot. It wasn't.
Would this book have been better received with a different reader? Maybe. But there were some issues that simply took a brilliant book and made it an ok read. I would hate to see Mr. Mierau not do this. His voice is a gold mine. And like any gold that is mined, you need to put effort in to make sure the hard crusty crap is removed so the gold can shine. Mr. Mierau needs to free himself to act.
Will I purchase the second in this series in an audible version? Not at this time. Will I check back next year to see what new thing John Mierau has recorded? Yes, I will.
"Poor Reading"
No because I would want my friend to be hook on audible like I am. I don't think no one would listen to this man for the first time and than buy another book. The story would have been great but the narrator was real bad.
Anger, that audible don't pick there reader better I can't think of any book that this narrator should read, he is so dry, and he can not change his voice.
I think he made a good book bad.
"The Narrator eas horrible"
The reader made it a difficult story to listen too. Ultimately what started as a very interesting storyline,took a turn and it became bland and predictable.
"great job"
A very good book, kept my intrastate right from the beginning. the interaction with the characters, made it funny as well. A great job by the narrator , making the qwearky parts, very laughably. great job.
"Tense page turner that I could not put down."
Constantly on the run is no way for a Mom with a small child to live. Enter a stranger named Will who is both more and less than he appears. The continued running and the strange occurrences keep this moving. It was difficult to put down for any reason. Looking forward to reading the others in this series.
Books speak to the soul.
"Good vs Evil"
The book was the basic good vs evil & Ok to listen to however, the narrator was stilted in his presentation. Each sentence spoken seemed to be broken into two stilted sentences or at least in places. There wasn't much inflection put into the books where if it had been done right it would have made the book a great listen. The only time there was any inflection was the arguements. Many times a narrator can make a mediocre book a great book. This time it didn't happen.
Overall, it was you get what you pay for & sadly, this one was on sale for a special price. Due to narrator, I WON'T be getting book 2 in the series.
"Bad narration"
No, the reader spoke so slowly & his pronunciations were kind of annoying.
Yes. The story wasn't bad, I think it could actually be pretty good if I read it myself instead of listening to it.
No, in fact, I had downloaded the 2nd book before really getting into this one & I plan to return it.
Possibly. Hadn't really thought of it...

Looks really good. Hyundai really has read Toyota's playbook and exceeded it. More and more I'm surprised by the level of quality and design in their cars.
"I dont want the company to be driven by numbers. I want it to be driven by making better cars and contributing to society. That will turn into profit, which we can use to develop better cars. That should be the cycle, and that will, as a result, build a company with a strong foundation."
-Akio Toyoda
Hyundai's ability to sell a car like the Elantra for less than competitors has nothing to do with currency manipulation, and everything to do with the fact that they mine their own iron ore to press their own steel, which means they don't pay mark-up and don't have to worry about fluctuations in the steel market.
A lot of hate in this thread for no reason. Yes your wife got a neutral econobox, but it's no worse than a beige Corolla or brown Jetta 2.5. I'm sure it will serve her well.
These Elantras remind me of a 2006-2010 civic taken to the next level.
They just look so sporty and elegant at the same time
Should have kept Honda and put $500 into the savings each month!
did the wifey atleast double down some **** for that
gobble gobble.
i'm sorry. its canadian thanksgiving and im just feeling festive.
removed because realized just as annoying as the people that refuse to turn off their phone app's auto-spam with every post.
OP, how about some daytime pictures of your wife?
Anyhow, nice car. I took Hyundai (and Kia) off my list due to not having a spare tire option.
"Of course that's just my opinion; I could be wrong."

Pretty car, pretty wife. Life is good.
Congrats on your purchase! I've had a few Elantra's this year for rentals. I drive my rentals for long distances, so I'd say I have about 5K miles of seat time in them. I like them quite a bit. I'd choose one over a civic/sentra/corolla.

Go drive a K car from the 80's and come back and say that. Corolla, Civic, Elantra etc are amazing cars from end to end - regardless of being boring as hell.
Even my car which fits that description is better than anything made 20 years ago in any metric I can possibly think of (maybe minus mileage?). Think I don't remember my parents cars from when I was a kid? My dad would have killed for a cheap, reliable car like mine when he was commuting night shift to an auto glass plant 2.5 hours away.
My point is you can't do wrong anymore.

nice buy
you get hate here if you buy anything between a TATA and a Ferrari
Nice car OP. Please let your wife park in the garage though!

Click any word in a definition or example to find the entry for that word
a highly contagious respiratory disease with flu symptoms (sore throat, runny nose, cough, aching muscles, etc.), thought to be related to a virus which infects pigs
'Swine flu: companies planning for mass absences … Companies are urgently reviewing contingency plans for a major swine flu outbreak which could see millions of workers unable to make it to the office.'The Telegraph1st May 2009
'In cases where there is some sense in raising public consciousness to alter behaviour, as was the case with Aids, then stirring public panic might be justified … There is no such sense in the case of Mexican flu. Those very few people who were infected and travelled elsewhere have responded to drug treatment.'The Guardian30th April 2009
Respiratory illness is rapidly becoming part of the zeitgeist of the early 21st century. In 2003 it was SARS, or Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, the pneumonia-like disease which spread from the Guangdong province of China to 37 countries across the world. A year or so later, it was the turn of bird flu, also known as avian flu or H5N1, a highly contagious flu virus responsible for a number of human deaths as well as the culling of millions of birds across the globe. And in 2009, it's the porcine variant that has now hit the spotlight, as the world braces itself during an outbreak of swine flu.
indications are that the virus weakens as it travels, the majority of cases outside of Mexico resulting in much milder symptoms which respond well to treatment with anti-viral drugs
Swine flu, also technically labelled H1N1, is a virus causing a respiratory disease, which in humans manifests as flu-like symptoms such as a fever, cough, sore throat, aching muscles etc. An outbreak of this new strain of flu first occurred in Mexico, causing severe illness and a relatively high mortality rate in a significant number of cases.
Like SARS and bird flu before it, the potential spread of what seemed to be quite a serious illness has sent shockwaves throughout the world, leading the World Health Organization (WHO) to declare a pandemic alert (the possibility of a disease affecting almost everyone across a very wide area). At the time of writing, there are confirmed cases of swine flu in 21 countries, though the highest number are in Mexico, the United States and Canada. Up to now however, the indications are that the virus weakens as it travels, the majority of cases outside of Mexico resulting in much milder symptoms which respond well to treatment with anti-viral drugs.
Following the pattern of bird flu, horse flu etc., the term swine flu refers to a flu virus which has adapted to a specific host, in this case, pigs. However, though the term swine flu is being used to describe the new strain of flu currently transmitting directly among people, most recent research by the WHO suggests that it may not be caused by pigs. There is also no evidence to suggest that this flu is circulating in pigs, or consequently that the disease can be caught by eating pork.
And therein lies a controversy. In a bizarre twist, as well as struggling to formulate an appropriate response to the flu threat, it seems that governments across the world are also locked in debate as to how they should refer to the new virus. Government officials in the US and parts of Europe want to drop swine, fearful of the damage it may cause to the farming industry and pork producers. In Israel, health ministers have protested about the term swine flu for religious reasons, since it contains the name of an animal banned by Jewish and Muslim dietary laws. An alternative term Mexican flu, though predictably meeting with some opposition amongst Mexican government officials, is beginning to stick. The European Commission have introduced the expression novel flu virus, though this seems likely to be ephemeral if the virus lasts long enough not to be 'novel' any more. It's possible therefore that, as in the case of H5N1 before it, medical nomenclature may win out in the end. The label H1N1 is less appealing, but accurate – and not remotely controversial.

Hi guys,
(I should give the obligatory "love the show", but it is true: as a bioinformaticist of a fairly mathematical sort, it's nice to spend an hour a week really listening to why people care about comparing metagenomic samples, say, rather than just thinking about them as mathematical objects to be manipulated and analyzed.)
Anyhow, there was a question on TWiM about whether people wearing their scrubs home spread infections from hospitals to other environments. Vincent says people in NYC rarely wear scrubs on the subway there. Regrettably, that's not true here in Ontario. The bus I was riding while I was listening to TWiM stopped in front of our local hospital...and on came a woman wearing scrubs. And sandals!
Keep up the good work,

Hi Vincent,
Always amused by the repartee on your podcasts, especially towards the end; and today I particularly enjoyed the continuation of your banter over washing. It reminded me of a visit to my local hospital - a large one, serving a fairly sizeable conurbation. I had to go for an ultrasound, which was based in a far corner of the building on an upper floor. I walked all through the building, past many signs about washing hands and the need for cleanliness, and then sat down in a waiting room. As I sat there, I soon became aware of a nasty smell, and was dismayed to find I had picked up a sizeable unwanted faecal donation from what must have been a very relieved dog. With this contribution, I had left a trail of filth all through the hospital, and, if I were to get up on a gurney, I would transfer it to that - and possibly some of the staff - too. What was I to do?
As nonchalantly as possible, I removed my sandal, and found its treads firmly plugged with very sticky and smelly mess; so I went in search of a wash basin. There one was; with shiny taps (faucets), and modern scalloped basin. There were elbow levers on the taps, and a large notice on how to wash your hands... The thing was actually a safety design nightmare. The scalloped basin was shallow, and would slosh, and splash the surroundings. The tap outlets were low down on the basin and close to the sides, so you could not put anything - like my shoe - under them; anyone washing their hands would likely touch the sides of the basin. What should have been there was a deep, square sectioned, basin, with a high outlet mixer tap, delivering a good volume of water into the middle, such that hands, fore-arms, and any objects that happened to need cleaning, could be cleansed with a minimum of splashing. But, it was much worse than that. In their wisdom, no doubt, someone had decided that the public could not be trusted with plugs: but they had also decided they still wanted plugs. So they made a plug that was captive to the outlet grille; a plug that one could not take out, but which would fall in when the tap was turned on. Thus it was impossible to run something like a turd-befouled sandal under a stream of appropriately hot water, to save a hospital from the infections it carried. But my shoe *had* to be cleaned! So you can picture the scene: trying to get some water from a badly positioned tap, onto a mucky shoe, while endeavouring to keep a plug from blocking the tiny basin, without getting filth on one's self, or the surroundings! In the end there was only one way. I had to fill the basin, put the sandal in it, and scrub at it with paper towels. Then I had to put my hand in the filthy water, to hold the plug out while the water drained! Then I had to try to wash the basin; then my hands; then my hands; then my hands... Every time you wash your hands in this hospital, you either leave a basin full of dirty water for the next unfortunate, or you dirty your hands again to let the water out!
With thousands of people traipsing in and out of hospitals, without removing their shoes, - and without putting on masks, and hair covers - there isn't a hope in Hell of keeping out the germs. Without really well designed washing and toiletry facilities for both staff *and* public, there isn't a hope in Hell, of beating hospital acquired infections.
Love the show,
Best wishes,

Just before listening to the last TWiM I had finished reading <i>The Drunken Botanist</i> by Amy Stewart. It is like a garden tour of the liquor store, with history, garden tips, recipes and odd little bits of trivia.
On page 59 is a box titled "Warning: Do not add water." It then explains that during prohibition California grape growers sold bricks of compressed dehydrated grapes, with a package of wine making yeast. The label warned to not add water and the yeast, because it would lead to fermentation and that would not be legal. ;-)
This is the book's website: http://drunkenbotanist.com/
Now I am going to try to make home made homemade grenadine from page 338 from a couple of pomegranates I bought this morning.
Thanks for the entertaining listening.

More Democratic Ethics Problems Emerge
posted at 12:35 pm on August 31, 2010 by Howard Portnoy
Democrats these days seem bent on testing the truth value of the adage "bad news comes in threes." With ethics investigations of Reps. Charlie Rangel and Maxine Waters still unresolved and on voters' minds, news of yet another Democrat corruption scandal has broken.
The Dallas Morning News reports that veteran congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-TX) diverted thousands of dollars in college scholarships to four relatives and the children of one of her aides. The recipients were ineligible under anti-nepotism rules imposed by the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, which was the source of the money.
The awards violated a second foundation requirement that scholarship winners live or study in a caucus member's district.
Johnson's office released a statement admitting that her actions represented a rule violation but included the claim that it was inadvertent and that she was now working to "rectify the financial situation." Yeah, that sounds pretty believable.
This news comes a day after a Gallup poll revealed that Republicans running for Congressional seats are now favored over Democrats by a 10-percent margin in a generic matchup. Memo to Speaker Pelosi: How's that draining of the swamp coming?

Robert Fisk, writing in The Independent, reported the story of Margaret Hassan and her death at the hands of sadistic Muslim fanatics whose only thought is to kill in the name of God as though any God in this world wants an heroic woman to be brutally murdered on television. Fisk was allowed to see the video of her death due to Al Jazeera TV reporters who themselves are frequently sickened by the manner in which terrorists kill their victims while recording the sordid and brutal episode on video. Margaret Hassan, a friend of Fisk, brought medicine to Iraqi children in the 1990s, opposed the US invasion of Iraq, and was a tireless worker for peace and the Iraqi people, but the cowards who killed her in the name of their so-called fight for freedom are among the most sickening creatures in the world.
Ayman Gaballah of Al Jazeera, who has seen numerous such tapes of murder and brutality told Fisk his organization did its best to withhold such gory episodes from their TV programming. One video shows Ms. Hassan being forced to admit she worked for the Americans even though she opposed them. In another, a man calmly shoots her and the video depicts her body falling onto a plastic sheet. No decent human can cheer at the death of a woman who fought for the rights of Arab people. Fisk was also shown a tape of 18 young Iraqis who were shot and killed and a man whose head was severed.
The Fisk report also describes the idiotic behavior of Dick Cheney and CIA director George Tenet who visited the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Hamad bin Khaifa, who supports Al Jazeera and being read the riot act by the arrogant American. The Emir also got all of a thirty second interview with Dick Cheney who was infuriated at the idea of an Arab TV station presenting a viewpoint other than the official American line of thinking. Al Jazeera is a force for reporting that which most Americans never see– another viewpoint about the Middle East.
These horrible scenes of death when sometimes shown on videos frequently receive cheers from angry Muslims who somehow believe killing innocent westerners is justified due to the death of thousands of innocent Muslims at the hands of American forces. The death of any innocent person is to be condemned by those who adhere to moral values. An Israeli death is no different than a Muslim death, both are horrible events. Margaret Hassan died because she believed in peace. Let us all celebrate her heroism and we condemn those who killed her.

Ah, man - I don't believe I've only just seen this thread. Can I be placed on the "If Someone Drops Out" list please?
Beautiful work there Gav
Contacted Gav over on the Galactic Knights boards, he say's he'll squeeze me in, but that I need to speak to Volkerc to add me to the list. Problem is, your PM inbox is full Bro - so I have resorted to asking on the thread - hope that's ok?
woo!! looks like mine will be in the next batch out! yippie!!! haha
Paypal sent for total amount including shipping.
Awesome Gav, cheers!
I have heard so much about these guns, only managed to find this thread. They are superb Gav. Think the delays are a small problem. People seem to be generally happy with these. Keep up the good work!!
I can't seem to find anywhere that list who you shipped these through Gav...which company can we plug those tracking numbers into to follow these babies around the world?
I checked on USPS and it looks like it is coming registered mail. Not much info though, but it looks like that is how it is coming.
Just recieved mine today!!! amazing work guys! I love it!
It's here!! Looks great!
Thanks Mojo and Volkerc for this.
A couple of questions.
1. Are the resin inserts on the barrel already glued in? They are tight and I don't want to pry on them, or have them fall out.
2. Suggestions to mount the trigger? Should I cut some type of pin for it or did I miss something in the box?
Again, thanks a bunch. Jason
Thank you guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have never seen more than 1 face, and the Spartan face.. it's new for me
Painting will commence this Saturday.
Holy cow! I'm out of it a little while and this thing explodes! Can't wait to get mine. They look brilliant! PM sent! Thanks, Gav!
got mine today! beautiful work, brother! thanks so much! now to just sit back and watch Seeker paint his up so i have a clue at what to do...
Just got mine in. The machining is excellent! Did just a bit of cleanup and threw on a quick coat of paint to see how it looks... and it is VERY nice!!!
I don't have my lighting setup here so I can't really get a decent pic, but here is a quick shot with the rushed paint.
Last edited by Art Andrews; Jun 4, 2009 at 5:56 PM.
Finally, got a better pic.
So, Ah, Errr, yes very nice gentlemen! Is there any ETA on shipping for the rest of the side arms further up the list?
anyone got any insight to where to get a pin for the trigger? is that going to be something as easy as going to Lowe's to find? thanks!
I think the answer is a roll pin from Home Depot or Lowes. For the pics, I just stuck a clipped nail in the hole as a temp.

In-Game Blog/Box Score
KENNESAW, Ga. - Playing at Kennesaw State University's KSU Stadium in the Southern Showdown, No. 12 UMass men's lacrosse used a four-goal fourth quarter to propel the team to a 12-11 victory over No. 4 North Carolina on Saturday afternoon. Senior attack Kyle Smith and junior attack and midfielder Connor Mooney paced the offense with four points each on three goals and one assist a piece. Redshirt-freshman goalie Zachary Oliveri stopped 18 shots in net, including four during the final quarter when the Minutemen outscored the Tar Heels, 4-0 to secure the come-from-behind win.
Sophomore midfielder Andrew Sokol recorded three points on two goals and one helper, with his pair of tallies coming back-to-back during the decisive fourth quarter. Sophomore attack Grant Whiteway added a pair of goals, his first of the season, while junior midfielder Matt Whippen secured one mark and an assist. UMass played without senior attack Will Manny, who suffered a hand injury and was unable to dress for the contest.
The final goal of the game went on to become the decisive tally, with Mooney recording his third mark of the day on the play. Mooney rolled around the left side of the goal from the back of the cage and stopped at the crease, jumping into the air while placing a shot into the lower-right corner of the goal for the 12-11 lead with 3:18 to play in the contest.
After North Carolina had a pair of tying attempts go wide of the net in the span of 13 seconds, beginning with 2:35 left to play, the Minutemen kept possession away from its defensive zone until the final seconds of the contest. After a UMass turnover near midfield, North Carolina's Greg McBride scooped up the loose ball and sprinted toward the UMass goal. McBride sent a last-second game-tying attempt on-frame, with Oliveri adjusting to the shot to record his final save of the day and secure the win.
North Carolina notched the opening pair of goals, one during a man-up situation, before the Minutemen connected to cut the deficit in half. Sean Cleary tallied the first UMass goal unassisted, fighting his way toward the crease before placing a shot by Tar Heels goalie Kieran Burke for the sophomore's second mark of the season.
North Carolina and UMass traded tallies through the remainder of the first quarter. After Jake Matthai earned a goal for the Tar Heels with 5:55 to play, senior attack Kyle Smith answered for UMass with his first tally of the day and second of the season to pull the Minutemen within 3-2 with 2:17 remaining in the opening quarter.
Marcus Holman, a two-time USILA All-American, extended the North Carolina lead back to a pair with 23 seconds remaining in the first. However, Kyle Smith found the back of the net only one minute into the second stanza, following a pass from senior midfielder Bobby Tyler, to cut the UNC lead back down to one, 4-3.
T.J. Kemp & Bitter recorded back-to-back tallies for the Tar Heels to push the lead to 6-3 for UNC before junior midfielder Matt Whippen, the reigning CAA Player of the Week, added a tally for the Minutemen. Whippen spun off of his marking defender, rolled to the right and sent an attempt into the left side of the goal with 8:05 to play in the half for his sixth goal of the year.
Davey Emala sent a shot by Oliveri to extend the lead back to three, 7-4 with 1:38 left in the second, an advantage that held through the break before the Minutemen attack responded during the opening minutes of the third. Kyle Smith secured the hat trick, the eighth of his UMass career, by racing in front of the net from the side of the goal before extending his arms and dropping a shot by Burke.
With the 30-second stall warning active, the Minutemen again dropped the UNC lead to just one goal, 7-6, as Mooney earned his first tally with 5:35 remaining. To create the play, Mooney sprinted to his right and fired an attempt into the top-left corner of the goal.
The North Carolina offense answered with a tally from Chad Tutton at the 4:11 mark to extend the Tar Heels lead to 9-7, but Mooney responded with his second goal of the day to earn the Minutemen their eighth tally.
Kyle Smith found Mooney in front of the net, with the junior from Wilbraham, Mass., one-timing an attempt by the outstretched arms of Burke. However, the UNC offense recorded the final two goals of the third quarter on shots by Spencer Park and Holman to send UMass into the fourth trailing, 11-8.
Sokol pulled the Minutemen back within one goal of tying for the seventh time on the day with back-to-back conversions over a span of 1:36, using a leaping attempt following a pass from Whippen to secure the first with 14:01 to play in the contest. After junior Joe Calvello won the faceoff following the goal and Whippen fired an attempt wide, Sokol dodged a defender at the right side of the net and shifted to his left while placing a hard shot into the back of the net with 12:25 to play for UMass' 10th tally.
The squads exchanged possessions over the following eight minutes of play before the Minutemen added the game-tying goal at the 4:16 mark. Whiteway controlled play behind the net and raced around the left side, converting a shot while being knocked to the ground in front at the crease to even the score at 11-11.
North Carolina tallied a 43-38 advantage in shots while the Minutemen scooped up 39 groundballs to 38 for the Tar Heels. UMass finished 18-for-22 on clears to a 12-for-13 clip for UNC. The Tar Heels won the faceoff battle, taking 15-of-28, while Burke finished with 12 saves for North Carolina. Calvello won 12 of the 26 faceoffs the junior took against the Tar Heels. Redshirt-sophomore Ryan Izzo notched a career-high seven groundballs while Tyler also set a single-game personal-best in the category with six scooped up on the day.
The Minutemen continue their 2013 slate with a Feb. 23 contest at Harvard in Cambridge, Mass., beginning at 1 p.m.

I have a 16Gb flashdrive which stores many files of audio talks which go missing(some with the whole folder) suddenly, some also became corrupted. But the disk capacity shows the files are still there.
There are some files which i took time to edit for the sake of more preferable volume and divisions with no back up so i'm not willing to format and redownload.
I have been trying to use many free recovery tools provided by google. The goodnews, it found and preview them. The bad news, it does not allow the files to be recovered without $$$$.
You guys can call me cheap ... i hope anyone here can address me if there's any real free recovery tools.

whats up guys........ im new on this forum and i thought i needed to try it out... i just bought my first handgun bout a month ago (i have owned a several long guns since i was younger)........... it is a P95 ..shot it for the first time last weekend and seems like a descent gun so far.. cant wait to get my next handgun next month...but anyways!! i want to get some accessories for it... holster, mag case/belt... that sort of thing but i dont want them generic holsters that doesnt fit tight.. also i have a slip on grip and a bottom mount laser, is it possible to get a descent holster to fit the gun with a laser...i am probably gonna end up takin the laser off and putting a flashlight on it anyways...... im starting to spend quite a bit of time so any suggestions for a ammo bag would be great... i already got a pelican 1400 ill post pics later today....
very confusing i know but it is pretty early in the morning here in fort worth, and already been a long day
Welcome to the forum From Kentucky. Personally Im not one for mounted lights or lasers but it's your weapon. As to ammo and production ammo will fit the bill. But most all pistols will like some over others and even if you had two of the same weapon you would probably find that brand A works great in one but not quite as good in the other. Your best bet is just to get a few different brands and see what your pal likes eating best.
Welcome to the site. Enjoy the new gun. Like was just posted ammo goes gun by gun but most weapons today shot most decent brass ammo pretty well. Keep the gun clean is the best advice I have. It is pretty hard to get a holster made specifically for a certian weapon with a certian laser or light on it. Just keep searching, you will find one.
The other stuff I'd say just just keep looking something will show up.
Welcome from North Central Texas.
I think you'll like it here.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|TH200-4R. Its a 4speed Automatic tranny that was most notably used in the Buick Grand National. It has a deep 1st gear and a nice ratio spread. Its cousin is the TH700-r4; which is a similar but more widely available transmission. This will give you the 60' you need; and the overdrive for street manners
what is this 200 tranny? will it handle 400 torque?
and tht setup seems docile but sorta crazy. tht setuo makes me think id b pushing 10's. with the NOS
Realistically; you have to match your rear gear to the camshaft and the heads. If you have a pretty reasonable budget, Id do the following
Ditch the TH350; run a built TH200-4r and some 4.10s in the axle.
Learn to tune your quadrajet
Add a 100 shot of Nitrous; start your learning curve with a 50-shot and work your way up. Make sure you use race gas at the track when you're on the bottle
Eventually get rid of the iron heads for performance aluminum heads.
Ditch the rear seat and anything else that adds weight.
|69 widetrack
If it's basically a stock engine, I'd start with head work, but, there are many more, more competent people on this site that can give you detailed information....Also, if it is stock and you want to run 12's and last(stay together), balancing would have been a suggestion before it was put together.
I'm more of a paint and body guy but, let's see what the guru's say.
12 seconds street Nova
okay I have a 68 chevy nova. it is a street car that gets me to and from work daily (37 rndtrip 33 of which are highway miles). I want it to b in the 12 second range when I take it 2 the test and tune next year when the track reopens.
@ the moment the car still has its original 307 w/ powerglide, open differential, and I guess the 2.73 gears, but the speedometer is off when I'm cruising. my gps says I'm doin 72, when my speedometer says 60. soo I don't kno if they have been changed or what's goin on with tht. but with all of tht and 110 gas @ the track I ran 16.92. 17.23's on unleaded.
To help me make this goal more reachable me and my dad rebuilt a very PURE stock 400 sbc. cst # 3951511. stock bottom end refreshed with new rings and rod bearings. a double roller timing chain, edelbrock rpm intake, 750 qjet, and comp cam with 488/510 lift. and ported the stock heads tht came with it. and a pair of headers off jegs.
SO MY QUESTION IS WHAT ELSE SHOULD B DONE BETWEEN NOW AND TRACK TIME TO KEEP IT A STREET DRIVER BUT BE IN THE 12's.
I have my mind on a 3.42range gears and getting tht posi. plus a 350 tranny and maybe some heads but not sure what kind.. but after that I'm stumped
help me out if you have a Nova, know about 400's or just something helpful in general.
if your car is in the 12's( SMALL BLOCK CHEVY ONLY) what setup are yu running with.
and remember this is a STREET CAR 70MPH CRUISES.

text: It's like saying you would give back a car for the purchase price a year after you've been driving it. Would they give back all the ticket revenue of every fan that came to see Arroyo play in the last year? They definitely seem to have soured on Arroyo. Arroyo says that he feels like he is being punished for going through a shooting slump. I sort of agree with him. He was lights out early. Even with his poor play of late, he has the 3rd best roland rating, 3rd most production, and a decent +/-. There is just something about the way he goes about his business that coaches don't like. Orlando has enough youth. The don't really need another draft pick until they digest what they have. JJ Redick is a good example.

By Joe Brewin
Bacary Sagna believes Arsenal's superb victory over Tottenham is the perfect result from which to build on.
Arsène Wenger's side fought back from two goals down to record a 5-2 win over their North London rivals at Emirates Stadium on Sunday.
Sagna sparked the fightback with a header five minutes before half time and the French international says it took great character to get the job done.
"It might be the beginning of something," he told Arsenal Player. "We lost quite heavily at AC Milan but we promised ourselves we would keep playing even if we kept losing. That is what we did. If we didn't keep fighting then we would have lost this game.
"That is the best experience as a player and as a fan. We did the job properly in the end, although it was hard because we were 2-0 down. We had to show resources mentally to come back and we did it.
"We could not have let it go on like that. This is one of the most important games during the season. In this stadium, in this game we could not lose. We managed to play our own football, keep our heads up and score the goals for the win."
Sagna's strike was his first since November 2010 and the right back admits there was no better time to notch only his third Premier League goal.
"I knew the ball was going to come back to me and that is why I stayed forward," he said.
"I wanted to score especially because the first game away was difficult for me. I am just very, very happy because this was a day to score."
Watch the full interview with Bacary on Arsenal Player now.

Turkey's police detained twenty people who are suspected of organizing a coup which would overthrow the existing moderate Muslim led government of the Justice and Development Party (AKP) and replace it with a staunchly secularist government. Among the twenty arrested were three retired generals including Genereal Sener Eruygar, who is a member of Ergenekon which is behind the coup, and the secularist Atatukist thought Association(ADD) which was planning demonstrations to create chaos in the nation. The plan entailed holding rallies in 40 counties on July 7 which would demand an end to the AKP and support for a secular government. yesterday, there were rallies in Gaziantes and Istanbul which called for "Respect for the State of Law" and "Respect for an Independent Judiciary." The rallies were intended to show support for the Public Prosecutor who is trying to close down the AKP and the Constitutional Court which soon will render a decision.
There is genuine fear and concern among many secularists about the long term goals of the AKP. Even the head of the Chamber of Commerce was part of the planned coup since it was his task to tell the public Turkey's economy was collapsing. It is necessary for secularists who believe in democracy and those in the AKP who intend to respect secular rights, to come together and work out compromises on issues such as the right to wear a headscarf in college.
