Menorrhagia is the medical term for menstrual periods with abnormally heavy or prolonged bleeding. Although heavy menstrual bleeding is a common concern among premenopausal women, most women don't experience blood loss severe enough to be defined as menorrhagia.
With menorrhagia, every period you have causes enough blood loss and cramping that you can't maintain your usual activities. If you have menstrual bleeding so heavy that you dread your period, talk with your doctor. There are many effective treatments for menorrhagia.
The signs and symptoms of menorrhagia may include:
Seek medical help before your next scheduled exam if you experience:
In some cases, the cause of heavy menstrual bleeding is unknown, but a number of conditions may cause menorrhagia. Common causes include:
Menorrhagia is most often due to a hormone imbalance that causes menstrual cycles without ovulation. In a normal cycle, the release of an egg from the ovaries stimulates the body's production of progesterone, the female hormone most responsible for keeping periods regular. When no egg is released, insufficient progesterone can cause heavy menstrual bleeding.
Menstrual cycles without ovulation (anovulatory cycles) are most common among two separate age groups:
Excessive or prolonged menstrual bleeding can lead to other medical conditions, including:
Iron deficiency anemia. In this common type of anemia, your blood is low in hemoglobin, a substance that enables red blood cells to carry oxygen to tissues. Low hemoglobin may be the result of insufficient iron.
Menorrhagia may decrease iron levels enough to increase the risk of iron deficiency anemia. Signs and symptoms include pale skin, weakness and fatigue. Although diet plays a role in iron deficiency anemia, the problem is complicated by heavy menstrual periods.
Most cases of anemia are mild, but even mild anemia can cause weakness and fatigue. Moderate to severe anemia can also cause shortness of breath, rapid heart rate, lightheadedness and headaches.
If your periods are so heavy that they limit your lifestyle, make an appointment with your doctor or other health care provider.
Here's some information to help you prepare for your appointment and know what to expect from your provider.
To prepare for your appointment:
For menorrhagia, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
Don't hesitate to ask any other questions that occur to you during your appointment.
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions, such as:
While you wait for your appointment, check with your family members to find out if any relatives have been diagnosed with bleeding disorders. In addition, start jotting down notes about how often and how much you bleed over the course of each month. To track the volume of bleeding, count how many tampons or pads you saturate during an average menstrual period.
Your doctor will most likely ask about your medical history and menstrual cycles. You may be asked to keep a diary of bleeding and nonbleeding days, including notes on how heavy your flow was and how much sanitary protection you needed to control it.
Your doctor will do a physical exam and may recommend one or more tests or procedures such as:
Based on the results of your initial tests, your doctor may recommend further testing, including:
Doctors can be certain of a diagnosis of menorrhagia only after ruling out other menstrual disorders, medical conditions or medications as possible causes or aggravations of this condition.
Specific treatment for menorrhagia is based on a number of factors, including:
Drug therapy for menorrhagia may include:
If you have menorrhagia from taking hormone medication, you and your doctor may be able to treat the condition by changing or stopping your medication.
You may need surgical treatment for menorrhagia if drug therapy is unsuccessful. Treatment options include:
Uterine artery embolization. For women whose menorrhagia is caused by fibroids, the goal of this procedure is to shrink any fibroids in the uterus by blocking the uterine arteries and cutting off their blood supply.
During uterine artery embolization, the surgeon passes a catheter through the large artery in the thigh (femoral artery) and guides it to your uterine arteries, where the blood vessel is injected with microspheres made of plastic.
Except for hysterectomy, these surgical procedures are usually done on an outpatient basis. Although you may need a general anesthetic, it's likely that you can go home later on the same day.
When menorrhagia is a sign of another condition, such as thyroid disease, treating that condition usually results in lighter periods.

**UPDATE July 6 - picked up and installed the Aluminum barrel. NEW Pics added**
**I have spare Aluminum barrels available for $75 plus shipping. See the following thread in the cargo hold: http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/showt...6#post350766**
Here are some pictures of a project I've been working on for awhile. It is based off of the MLC sidearm that has been around for a couple of years. First off, let me say the MLC has definately filled the void for the ESB sidearm and is a great piece unto it's own. However, there were some things I was looking to improve upon.
The biggest changes from the MLC are:
1. Solid 2 pc vac cast in brown resin upper and lower assembly
2. Spring loaded trigger assembly - trigger to be cold cast in aluminum, currently mine is cast in white, but I'll change it later on.
3. Bolt together assembly of upper and lower halves with cast in nuts. The screw are recessed into the barrel slot and are covered when the barrel is in place. So no hardware is showing when assembled. Glue would not be required. Additionally the two halves key into place.
4. Reworked some of the symmetry and "crisped up" / "squared up" some details
5. CNC'd aluminum barrel assembly (muzzle, barrel and back knob) that slides into the pocket and is captured/retained by threading into the back knob. This also can allow for me to vary the barrel length if needed.
What's left to do:
Cold cast another trigger in aluminum
Finish sanding and paint in an accurate carmel brown
Post some pics of completed unit.
The pics so far:
NEW pic - with barrel installed - (The holster is in process of being wet-sanded/polished)
Assembled and with spare barrel
Some pics of the Barrel
In the holster - (Holster is in process of being wet-sanded polished)
Top view disassembled into the main components
With trigger installed
Recessed screws in the barrel slot
-Thanks for looking

Jennifer Rubin Can't Believe Conservatives Want To "Make White People Fear Obama"
Jennifer Rubin, The Washington Post's resident Romney surrogate, is currently trumpeting [1] an "Exclusive" alleging that Democratic polling firm Public Policy Polling has been "caught doing advocacy polling on race." Rubin objects to a question in a recent PPP poll -- following last week's Daily Caller/Drudge/Hannity promotion [2] of the 2007 Obama video -- about whether conservative media figures "want to make white people think Barack Obama hates them, or not?"
According to Rubin and "every independent or Republican pollster" she asked about the poll, the question was "shock[ing]" and over the line. By Rubin's telling: "But of course the question is one that imparts the information to the voter in the most slanted way possible. There are no questions about liberal media or bias. To ask the question is to assume that conservative media are up to make white people fear Obama."
What would lead PPP to "assume that conservative media are up to make white people fear Obama?"
Maybe it was when Glenn Beck flatly stated on Fox News that President Obama was a "racist" with "deep-seated hatred for white people or white culture."
Or perhaps it was earlier this year when Rush Limbaugh said that Obama's entire "plan" is "payback" against the "white Europeans" who "illegitimately founded" the country.
Or last year's Limbaugh rant about how Obama was "not even halfway done killing the economy" and that his economic "role model" is Robert Mugabe, who "took the white people's farms."
Before Obama was elected, Bill Sammon -- then a Fox News contributor before becoming Fox News' controversial [3] Washington managing editor -- told radio host Hugh Hewitt that he thought Obama would lose the election because of his "own views on the white race which are, I think, fairly controversial."
In the same interview, Sammon explained [4], "This guy is applying for a job to run a country that is predominately white, OK? And if you are on record as expressing resentment and suspicions and antipathy towards the white race in general, that's a political problem."
One could even point to the preposterous flap over the New Black Panther Party, in which the entire conservative media -- Jennifer Rubin included -- accused the Obama Justice Department of anti-white discrimination. Rubin herself wrote in a ridiculous [5] January 2011 blog post that the "heart of the matter" regarding the New Black Panther case was DOJ's alleged directive "not to bring cases against black defendants for the benefit of white victims."
Rubin's anger towards PPP's question would be better directed at the conservative media figures who have made it worth asking -- herself included.

Hello i just sent payment to Sgt.Fang for a Helmet (Bucket) (not down with the lingo yet YO! haha) any ways i had a few questions for when i get it and start working on it.
1) What type of paint and primer is suggested? i have an airbrush and i have tuns of paint for miniatures (i.e. citadel water based paint and also citadel primer) would that work or should i use some other type?
2) should i "glass" the inside before or after cutting out the T and keyholes??
3) is there any kind of template one can open in say photoshop or paintshop pro in order to try out colors for helmet/armor?? i saw that NovallTalon posted a link to the madomaker but i want to be able to use my own colors and be able to add marks and such. ive looked at many threads but haven seen anything like what im looking for (im also realy bad at surching and actually finding what im looking for so that might be my problem, if so im sorry)
there were a couple more questions i had but i have forgotten them allready B^( should have wrote them down first any ways any help would be super!! and i cant wait to get my first part of my costume!!
ahh just thought of another question that kinda goes with the glassing... what type of fiberglass kit should i use?? also ive read that people use bondo to fill in holes and fix stuff... where would one go to get it and is that what i would ask for just bondo??
thanks again!!

I strongly recommend the SIG with the DAK trigger system. Some of the models are called "SAS" - apparently that's the DAK trigger system and rounded ("dehorned") edges.
The advantage of a double-action trigger (like the revolvers you are used to) is safety. It's a fact of life; people sometimes forget Rule Three and they rest their fingers on the triggers. I know they shouldn't, but it is not enough to say "Serves 'em right" when somebody shoots their leg or their child. Most auto collisions are the fault of the driver, but that doesn't mean cars shouldn't be designed with anti-lock brakes, seat belts, and other safety features designed to be forgiving of driver error.
The advantage of single action pistols is that they can be shot very precisely. The disadvantage is that they are unforgiving of Rule Three violations. You so much as let your finger hover in the general neighborhood of the trigger, and a SA gun is going to go bang.
The current craze is pistols like the Glock, XD, etc. These have a trigger mechanism that is a little heavier than most single action autos, and a little longer than single action autos, but not as heavy or as long as DA revolvers. So, what you get is a pistol that is not all that easy to shoot accurately, but not all that forgiving of Rule Three violations. (Google "Glock" and "accidental," and read a few of the 83,000 hits.) To my mind, carrying a Glock/XD type gun is like carrying a 1911 with a lousy trigger and the thumb safety removed.
Back to the SIG DAK. It has similar weight of pull to the Glock/XD system (around 6-7 pounds), but the length of pull of the double action revolvers you are familiar with. It is long, but smooth. It is much more forgiving of Rule Three violations than SA's or Glocks, but can be shot with precision much like the PPC and Bianchi Cup revolvers with their super-light, super-smooth triggers.
The only drawback is that they are pricey, like 800-900 dollars. Still well worth it, in my opinion. At least try one out in the store.

I have been "lurking" around TDH for several weeks now and am planning to build an ESB Boba Fett for my wife. I am concerned however about choosing the right size parts for her. She's only 5'2" and about 115lbs.
Am I going to have trouble with her size? What armor type will best fit her?
If you have had to build a suit at this height, please let me know what sort of challenges I may be facing, or if I should hype up a Jawa build instead!


text: I have three TBH's. I did a cutout over the weekend and put the colony in one of them. I filled about 14 frames with brood and honey, and added 6 empty topbars. They seem content :-D. I caught a swarm, which went into a topbar nuc of 11 bars. I think it was too small for them and they absconded(all but a handful) :'(. When I put a swarm into a topbar, should I feed them to entice them to build comb? Should I put in a few sections of comb? I don't want to lose any more swarms. Also, I have a standard, 5-frame nuc. Can I put that into a TBH with the 5 frames parallel to the hive, and the new topbars crossways like normal? Then remove the frames once the bars are built on? Thanks for any advice!

Welcome to the second edition of the "I'm a Natural Parent - BUT..." Carnival
This post was written for inclusion in the carnival hosted by The Artful Mama and our feminist {play}school. During this carnival our participants have focused on how mainstream society has affected their natural parenting and how they have come to peace with this.
I find it hardest to hold onto my natural parenting ideals when we travel to visit family. Around locals, I am proud of my choices. Around friends, I stay strong. Around family … I falter.
There's something about family members that can push your buttons harder and more discerningly than anybody else. And while I have been able to hold more or less firm on our choices to cosleep, cloth diaper, do EC, continue baby-led solids, homeschool, breastfeed (into toddlerhood and beyond), and babywear, the one place that continually gets attacked is the place I always feel most vulnerable: respectful, consensual interactions with my child.
The other natural parenting things feel like outward markers. I can sense family members dismissing them as hippie choices and not feeling overly threatened by them, since they would never want to be considered hippies. (My parents grew up in the right time period and firmly eschewed taking part in the movement. Instead of growing his hair long and protesting Vietnam, my dad joined the Army and got his regulation buzz cut. My mom repudiated free love and wouldn't let my dad kiss her until they were engaged. I like them a lot, even if they don't always know what to make of me and my crunchy ways.)
When it comes to honoring a child's voice, fully listening to his requests, and seeking compromise as a family, the whole philosophy goes so against what the dominant culture teaches, and the way I was brought up. It seems revolutionary in an unsettling and potentially dangerous way.
They can dismiss the other things as kind of … silly — but respecting children? That could lead to trouble.
After all, I'm told, we don't want children to be spoiled. They can't grow up thinking they're the boss. They need to know there are consequences.
This type of language is so ingrained it's hard to step outside it and see the fallacies for what they are — to see the fact that approaching parenting with this mindset closes off true, reciprocal relationship.
And so, I'll admit it: I have a hard time keeping a handle on my own gentle parenting ideals when I'm hearing so many voices assuring me their way is better.
When Mikko was 3, for instance, we went for a visit to a beach cottage with his grandparents. The first day we settled into the cottage and then debated whether first to go to the beach or out to get dinner at a restaurant known for its ice cream. My parents mentioned the beach first, and Mikko was excited to run off and start digging in the sand. Then they changed their minds and decided dinner should be first. It's no easy task to redirect a three-year-old's enthusiasm, but Sam and I gamely tried, reminding him of the dessert that would await him after the meal.
Just as we'd gotten him excited about going to the restaurant, my parents changed their minds again and decided a short walk to the beach was in order before it got dark.
We tried, without success, to get Mikko excited again about going to the beach, but visions of vanilla ice cream cones were now dancing in his head. My parents started insisting he put his shoes on and come to the beach, now. He didn't want to put his shoes on, and Sam said he could carry him instead. "No," my mom said. "That's not necessary." She shooed us away and said, "You go on. We'll get him ready and bring him after."
Sam and I obeyed, woodenly. We were several steps down the lane when Sam stopped, turned to me, and said angrily, "I'm his father. I get to decide." It snapped us both out of it, and we turned back to where Mikko's crying was still reverberating out into the quiet neighborhood.
When we walked in, my parents glanced up at us in surprise. "We've got it all taken care of," my mom said, forcing shoes onto Mikko as he continued to protest.
It's wasn't what I would call "taken care of."
Sam scooped him up and now he waved them away, telling them to go to the beach without us and we'd wait here, calming Mikko down, until it was time for dinner.
As they purposely walked away, the thought came to me: Wait a second, who was acting like the three-year-old here?
It didn't matter whether we went to the beach or to dinner right then, and it didn't matter who wore shoes; it was all a matter of control. If anyone else had protested that dinner first sounded like a wiser plan, it would have been taken into consideration. But because a three-year-old wanted it, he had to be taught a lesson.
I know those thoughts of children's inferiority are so ingrained that it's hard to get beyond it to question it, so I don't blame my parents for being who they are. I do blame myself for capitulating, though — although I can point out in my own defense that to capitulate was exactly how I was raised.
There's always an implied suggestion that I control my child, and I begin bowing to the pressure — forgetting that relationship is not about control; it's about connection.
By analogy, suppose when we visited Sam's parents, they urged him to use a firmer hand with me? Fortunately, my in-laws are not so brutal. Women, you see, have gained in status over the past decades. Children have not come so far.
Children are still mistrusted, still suspected of wanting to overthrow adult harmony with their otherwise unchecked potential for mischief and chaos. Their needs and desires, therefore, are always secondary to grown-ups', even when the adult decisions are capricious, inconsequential, and ever-shifting — like our quicksilver series of decisions to go to the beach — no, dinner — no, beach. Rather than adapting ourselves to an immature mind and temperament, Mikko was expected to adapt to us — immediately, no questions asked.
We're going to visit my family this month, and I truly hope I can hold onto my role as parent while we're there. I hope I can ride out tantrums with peace; excuse and accommodate tired, hungry, and overstimulated little ones; and navigate the ups and downs of parenting young children while offering respect and connection over demanding obedience.

Do you falter with connection when you're among certain family members? How do you bring yourself back to respectful, gentle parenting in the face of pressure and criticism?
This carnival was created by The Artful Mama and Natural Parents Network. We recognize that "natural parenting" means different things to different families, and we are dedicated to providing a safe place for all families, regardless of where they are in their parenting journeys.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
here is an interesting 396 article
maybe add more compression and cam to make more power. But depends on the gear, stall, trans type.
A 396 to 440 stroker kit is not a bad idea either.
|Tech @ BG
|In regards to our carburetors and sizing on the 396 we would want to look at the final build but typically on a mild 396/427 we like to stay with a 750 annular booster carb for best signal and response. The Speed series is good up to .240@.050 and the Mighty is rated for .240 to .260.
Starting out with a "trued" block is an excellent idea, so you're definitely on the right track there.
I'm not the guy you want to get a cam recommendation from, but there are real sharp guys here who will be along to help, I'm sure.
This sounds like something a little more advanced that I'm going to trust myself doing correctly... something I'm sure I could pick up if I watched it done first. You sure know your motors cobalt!
I was doing some more research around the web and I'm going to just keep the crank and rods that I already have, and use them. I'll definitely be looking at bumping up the CR to 9.5 or 10:1 with some domed pistons though. I'm going to have my Dad take the block back to the machinist and have them check the deck, as I read a lot of factory blocks are not true on both ends. I'm not expecting a big or even minimal gain out of this, I just like having everything the way it should be.
Also, do you or anyone else have suggestions on a good Hydraulic Roller Cam? I've been looking at Lunati Voodoo's... what RPM range should I looking to keep it under and still driveable?
To get a pretty good estimate of the deck height w/o using expensive tools, you can simply bridge across the bore of the cylinder you're measuring w/a straight edge or machinist rule on edge and use feeler gauges to measure the distance between the straight edge and the piston top, w/the piston at TDC. Measure over the axis of the wrist pin to eliminate the piston's rocking in the bore caused by the piston to wall clearance.
Measure the combustion chamber volume by using an old CD w/the plating scraped off w/a razor blade drawn across the plating backwards (opposite way than if you were going to "shave" it, if you follow me). This flakes off the plating so you can see through the CD to tell if there are bubbles. Or you can use a piece of plastic like plexiglass large enough to fully cover the chamber.
It has to have two holes- one for introducing the fluid, the other to allow the air to escape. Usually, the one hole in a CD is large enough to do both.
Then "glue" the CD or plexi onto the spotlessly clean head surface using vaseline or grease. Leave a spark plug in, and level the head evenly.
Then using a large syringe and rubbing alcohol (has low surface tension) dyed w/food coloring, fill the chamber until completely full, counting the amount of alcohol you used to fill it.
|cobalt327- Is there measurement tools I can buy to check the cc of the heads and the same for checking deck height... or will I be better of taking it to a shop? I was just checking a bunch of forums for the whole deck height/decking the block debate and if it's worth it. It's a good thing I joined this site and started popping off questions, because I was just planing on slapping it all together... that could've been a big disappointment, and costly!
Jegs shows what I consider to be an incorrect compression ratio estimate for the L2240NF pistons I mentioned above (Sealed Power now, not TRW).
Jegs list them as having a 21cc dome. If that's correct, with a bore of 4.124", a stroke of 3.76", a 101cc chamber, a gasket thickness of 0.041 and a zero deck height, I get over 10.2:1 CR. Actually too high for a mild cam on pump gas, IMO.
They say its about 8:1. So something is fishy.
In any case, you'll need to cc the heads and measure the deck height and know what the compressed head gasket thickness is to compute your CR. Start w/cc'ing the heads and measuring the deck height.
Then using a CR calculator, you can figure out what dome volume you need to get the CR you want.
|Thanks for the info again cobalt! I was wondering about that... I was looking on Jegs.com for the domed pistons. They had 3 different sizes all saying they were specifically for a 396. I guess I'll have to email them to be sure they have the right ones so I don't the valves with the piston...
If you go w/higher compression pistons, be sure to spec them for the closed chamber heads. The piston domes for an open chamber head will interfere w/the chamber of your heads. Open chamber domed pistons can sometimes be modified to work, but it's better to get the correct pistons to begin with, IMHO.
Good luck and have fun!
|Sorry about that F-Bird I didn't see that part on if I was sure they are flat top pistons. The guy who did all my machine work said they were. I bought the motor about 6 years ago at a dumber more excited age and heard BB CHEVY for sale, and had the extra cash so bought is for $1200. I've learned my lesson, I PAID WAY TO MUCH! Although the heads are worth more than that to the right people. I was looking on Craigslist and finding complete 454 engines with 4 bolt mains for $400-500 all over my area in Nebraska.
Thanks for the warm welcome ya'll!
F-BIRD'88- I would love to supercharge my 396 but I was wanting something that retains a stock look but still blows the doors off of fart can cars and later generation mustangs/camaros. Thanks for the suggestion though!
cobalt327- I'm very partial to the 396 even though I want to change it drastically. Trust me I'll be building a normal BB after this one, I just want this for street/sleeper car that will see decent drag strip time too. Thanks for the info on the CR for the FT pistons and cams. I was trying to figure out what the CR would be, but couldn't find the right info anywhere. I'll definitely be upgrading to a higher CR piston. I'm not completely set on what cam I'm going to get yet, just want a aggressive hydraulic roller cam.
I'm also waiting on dyno numbers from the shop that built that 461 in CarCraft magazine. I emailed CarCraft directly, but the guy told me he forwarded the email to the shop who built it. I plan on finishing this motor in April when I go on leave, after coming home from Afghanistan.
The engine with flat tops and the closed chamber heads will be around 8:1 compression ratio. Fine for a mild camshaft or forced induction, but you'll need more CR to run a "choppy" cam w/a lot of duration/overlap.
Use that mother cam if you feel you must, but there are better cams for power out there- that sound less radical. Remember, the choppiness you get from a radical camshaft is a result of the inefficiency of the cam at low RPM. You will need more CR than FT pistons will give you to run that cam, I believe.
I'd rather see you use a set of pistons like the TRW L2240NF. They have a short dome and will get you about 9.5:1 CR, give or take, depending on the head gasket thickness, amount the head's been milled and deck height.
Before I would throw a 4-1/4" stroke crank into a 396 block, I would use the 4.250" nominal bore block from a 427/454 engine. At 0.060" over, a 427/454 block w/a 4-1/4" crank will get you almost 500 cid, plus even more gain from the valves not being shrouded by the small 396 bore.
AFA keeping it stock looking, a 454 looks like a 396 to many guys and the ones who are REALLY sharp won't be fooled anyway.
If you are sold on a 396 block, I'd keep it w/a 3.76" crank and live w/it.An engine in the 400 cid range will run fine w/a carb in the area of 750 CFM.
Welcome to the site.
I agree Matt! I'm only 26, but when I was in high school I worked for a guy with a trucking business and he had a 69' SS Chevelle. That car just got me hooked.
theres nothing wrong with a 396 if you all ready own it
had one in high school

Hi everyone!
I've been looking for TESOL jobs in China but practically all ads ask for native speakers. What are the possibilities for non-native speakers to get teaching jobs in China, and who do we turn to? I am looking for a place in a public school, preferably a university or possibly a gaozhong. I have a year's worth of teaching experience from China, but this was a voluntary placement, and I have had basic TEFL training (1/4th of my degree this year, but it doesn't lead to an actual qualification). I will have a university degree from the UK at the time of applying.
Is it worth applying for posts that say 'native speakers only' or should I try to contact schools directly? Do you know of any reliable agencies that accept non-native speakers of English?
Any advice is much appreciated!

DI Series History: First Meeting
The Canisius College hockey team returns to the ice this weekend, traveling to Colorado to face Air Force and Denver. The Griffs and Falcons will meet in an Atlantic Hockey contest on Friday at 9:05 p.m. ET before Canisius faces the Pioneers of the NCHC on Saturday at 9:07 p.m. ET.
• Canisius lost its season opener to Niagara on Oct. 12. The Griffs had an early 4-1 lead but allowed the final five goals for a 6-4 setback.
• Four different players tallied goals for Canisius with three players registering two assists.
• Senior Kyle Gibbons is the team's top returning scorer, ranking 12th nationally with 43 points (21g, 22a) a season ago.
• Senior Tony Capobianco recorded 37 saves in the opener at Niagara and is coming off a record-setting campaign as a junior.
• Senior Taylor Law quickly showed his 2011-12 form in the Griffs' opener, netting a goal against nationally-ranked Niagara.
• Law was named the team's MVP as a sophomore, leading Canisius with 26 points, 11 goals and 15 assists. However, he missed most of his junior campaign with an injury, totaling only two goals.
• The forward's tally was his first since Nov. 10, 2012.
• One trend that the Griffs quickly changed this season was scoring early in the contest.
• Canisius scored four first-period goals in its opener against Niagara.
• Last season, the first was the Griffs' least productive period as the team only scored 26 of its 113 tallies in the opening frame (23.0%).
• The four goals at Niagara were the most in a first period for Canisius since also netting four against Robert Morris on Dec. 15, 2009.
• As exciting as the 2012-13 season was for Canisius with winning its first Atlantic Hockey Championship, the Griffs know they have a great opportunity to repeat this season.
• Canisius features 17 upperclassmen on its roster – the second-most nationally. Only Mercyhurst has more on its team this season with 18.
• Air Force holds a slight edge in the all-time series against Canisius, 9-7-7.
• The teams are meeting for the first time since last season's Atlantic Hockey Quarterfinal series, where the Griffs swept the playoff games with a pair of 4-3 wins in Colorado.
• Canisius won the opener when Kyle Gibbons scored with 9.1 seconds remaining in regulation and then completed the sweep with Duncan McKellar's overtime tally. Tony Capobianco made 90 saves in the two wins, including a Canisius postseason record of 50 in the finale.
• The series has been one of the most competitive in Atlantic Hockey. In 13 of the last 16 meetings, the games have either resulted in a tie or a one-goal contest (not including empty-net tallies).
• Canisius is also just one of two Atlantic Hockey schools with a winning record at Air Force since the Falcons joined the league. The Griffs are 5-4-4 in Colorado with Air Force going 67-21-11 against the rest of the league.
• Air Force enters conference play with a 2-2-0 overall record. The Falcons swept a pair of home games last weekend against Penn State, winning 5-2 and 3-1.
• Cole Gunner (3g, 2a) and Chad Demers (1g, 4a) are tied for the team lead with five points. George Michalke is tied with Gunner with a team-best three goals.
• Jason Torf has started all four games in net, posting a 2.79 goals against average and .895 save percentage.
• The two schools are meeting for the first time on the ice.
• In its first year of play, the Griffs have previously faced five of the eight teams from the NCHC.
• Canisius owns an all-time mark of 1-16-1 against the eights schools in the NCHC.
• The only victory against one of the league's schools came during the 2010-11 campaign when Canisius defeated Western Michigan, 5-3.
• The meeting with Denver is the first of three-straight games against NCHC schools for the Griffs as the teams travels to face Miami next weekend.
• Denver is currently ranked 17th in the most recent USCHO.com national poll.
• The Pioneers lost a pair of overtime contests last weekend to Alaska and Alaska-Anchorage.
• Nolan Zajac leads the team with four points and three assists this season. David Makowski and Joey LeLeggia have each netted a team-best two tallies.
• Sam Brittain has started 3-of-4 games in net for the Pioneers, posting a 0.98 goals against average and .965 save percentage.

Research does not take a holiday during the summer at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Md. In fact, it ramps up with the addition of many new faces from across the country.
The Johns Hopkins Institute for NanoBioTechnology summer research interns have arrived and are already busy at work in various laboratories. This year's group is the largest the institute has ever hosted, with 17 undergraduates from universities nationwide.
Of the total, three students are affiliated with the Center of Cancer Nanotechnology Excellence and four are affiliated with the Physical Sciences-Oncology Center. The remaining 10 are part of the National Science Foundation Research Experience for Undergraduates program. All are hosted through INBT, which serves as a hub for their academic and social activities.
INBT summer interns conduct 10 weeks of research in a laboratory either on the Homewood or the medical campus of the University. At the end of that time, students have learned how to work in a multidisciplinary team and how to manage a short term research project. They also discover if research is a pathway they want to pursue after earning their bachelor's degrees.
In August, interns from many of the science, medicine, engineering and public health summer programs will gather for a poster session to be held on August 2 at 3 p.m. in Turner Concourse. The poster session will allow students to show off the results of their their work.
This year's INBT/PS-OC/CCNE interns include:
At the Whiting School of Engineering…
Amani Alkayyali from Wayne State University is an REU student in the laboratory of Honggang Cui assistant professor in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering. Also in the Cui lab are CCNE intern Matthew Fong from the University of California, Berkeley and Michelle LaComb, an REU student from Rice University.
Sharon Gerecht, assistant professor in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular engineering, is hosting three interns. Josh Porterfield of Cornell University and Carolyn Zhang from the University of California are both PS-OC interns, and Bria Macklin of Howard University is an REU intern.
Jacqueline Carozza of Cornell University is a PS-OC student working in the lab of Denis Wirtz, professor in the Department Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering. Cassandra Loren from Oregon State University is a PS-OC intern also working in the Wirtz lab.
Eric Do from the University of Washington is an REU working in the lab of assistant professor Margarita Herrara-Alonso in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering.
Olivia Hentz from Cornell is an REU student working in the lab of Jonah Erlebacher, professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering.

Francis Henry III
Chapel Hill, NC 27599
On April 24, 1999, the UNC field hockey and women's lacrosse programs dedicated their new home, Francis E. Henry Stadium. The 12,000-square-foot facility, located on Ridge Road, is one of the finest facilities of its kind in the nation.
The building houses spacious locker rooms for each sport's players and coaches. In the locker rooms, each player has her own full-length locker, with ample storage space and a plaque bearing her name and number. In the center of the building is a film and meeting room with computers, a big-screen TV and a kitchen area. The team room was updated during the summer of 2009 and is now a "smart classroom," where UNC teams use the latest technology for game and practice preparation, meshing various video and media formats in a wireless environment.
The coaches' locker rooms provide another place for reviewing film The building's entranceway houses a sizeable trophy case, which accommodates the Tar Heels' field hockey and lacrosse awards. The stands seat 1,086 fans and also house a concessions stand and restrooms. On the ground level are a sports medicine treatment room and equipment storage areas.
Henry Stadium became even more player-friendly in 2008 with the installation of a new AstroTurf surface. As part of the renovation, the crown was removed from the playing field and a top-notch watering system that recycles the field water was added. Francis E. Henry is a UNC graduate who lettered in soccer for the Tar Heels from 1964-66 and now resides in Wilmington, N.C. The facility is named for him and his father, Francis Henry III.
Henry Stadium, first-class in every way, could not have been built without contributions from hundreds of Tar Heel supporters. Their generosity is celebrated throughout the stadium, from the engraved bricks out front to plaques on the Carolina blue seats in the stands. Inside are signs recognizing more donors whose gifts made the facility a reality.

We have the elephant that we got as a gift from grandma.
My son is, currently, 15 months and 32 inches tall. He's just now able to get on but only able to touch one foot to the ground/wood step. I think in about 2 more inches he will be able to ride it more easily.
Also, please understand that the elephant is tall and narrow. Compared to another rocker we have (Rockabye Rocker) it is not very stable and wobbles more easily. Other than that my son really likes it. He drags it around the room with him like a stuffed animal.

Fox's Steve Doocy Casts Suspicion On Routine Revisions To Jobs Numbers
Blog ››› ››› MEDIA MATTERS STAFF
Fox News' Steve Doocy cast completely unwarranted suspicion on the Bureau of Labor Statistics employment statistics, saying it was "curious" that the agency had issued a downward revision to the number of jobs the economy created in the months leading up to the November election.
On Friday, the Bureau of Labor Statistics released its monthly jobs report showing the economy added 146,000 jobs in November. The report also revised the estimates for its September and October jobs reports, finding that the economy had added 50,000 fewer jobs in those months than previously thought.
After Fox reported on the numbers, Fox & Friends co-host Steve Doocy said: "It's interesting what [Fox Business senior Washington correspondent] Peter Barnes said from Washington, and that was that in the two months running up to the election, now there apparently have been some revisions for September and October: 50,000 fewer jobs were created than reported by the federal government. That's curious."
Doocy did not explain what was curious about the revision, but his assertion comes after Fox's repeated attempt to cast doubt on the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) jobs numbers in the lead-up to the election. In October and early November, Fox News repeatedly embraced jobs number conspiracies to suggest that BLS was fixing its numbers to be politically advantageous to President Obama.
In fact, there is nothing curious about the revisions to the jobs data. The Bureau of Labor Statistics regularly revises its initial numbers because they come from a statistically volatile small survey. The Bureau maintains a table showing the revisions to its over-the-month estimates for every month going back to 1979, which shows that the jobs numbers are regularly revised by tens of thousands and even hundreds of thousands of jobs between the initial estimate and later estimates.
New York Times economics reporter Catherine Rampell has explained that the jobs numbers included in the BLS monthly reports have a margin of error of 400,000 and have "wild swings" every month:
These numbers are always tremendously volatile, but the reasons are statistical, not political. The numbers come from a tiny survey with a margin of error of 400,000. Every month there are wild swings, and no one takes them at face value. The swings usually attract less attention, though, because the political stakes are usually lower.
The numbers, by the way, are especially imprecise (and prone to revision) when the economy is making a turn, or when regular seasonal patterns start to change.
Part of the reason the numbers are revised every month is simply because the BLS doesn't have all of the necessary survey data before the scheduled release of the report. Caitlin Kenney wrote at NPR's Planet Money blog that the revisions come from additional data being added to the Bureau's initial survey:
The revisions in the [September] jobs report come from the establishment survey, and the reason they happen is that the BLS doesn't have all the information at the time the numbers are calculated. The BLS gives businesses and government agencies a deadline to submit their data but not everyone makes it. The information that comes in after the cut off date is what causes the revisions. BLS economist Megan Barker explained it to me this way:
After the press release, we are continuing to get more data so that can cause slight movements in what is showing as employment change over the month. We do have a second and a third revision to all of our data.
So if a business didn't get the BLS their data in time for the official release, they'll show up in the revision. Another reason the numbers change Barker says, it that sometimes the BLS will choose to hold data. If the numbers they get from a business seem unusually high or how, the BLS may wait until it can verify them.

Scholarly communication is the system scholars and researchers employ to create, distribute, use, and preserve their work.
Video Credit: Defining Scholarly Communication [1], created/owned by the contributors and produced by Kathryn Pope and Vin Aliberto, Center for Digital Research and Scholarship, Columbia University Libraries/Information Services. CC-BY.
Faculty at Appalachian State play various roles in the system of scholarly communication: as authors and researchers, peer-reviewers, society members, and editors. The digital age has brought greater opportunities to share work and read the scholarship of others. At the same time, changes in the traditional methods of scholarly communication have influenced the university's ability to provide access to the information on which members of the Appalachian State community base their research. The challenge for faculty is deciding how to make best use of the present publishing environment and create opportunities for the future.
Academic Journals with Editors and Board Members at Appalachian State [2]
The University Library is currently keeping track of Appalachian State faculty members who are serving as editors, associate, assistant, section or review editors as well as board members of academic journals. The following charts show at least 16 faculty members currently serve as journal editors or co-editors, 27 as associate, assistant, section, or review editors, and over 30 faculty members serve as board members of academic journals.
PURPOSE OF THE LIST: Our hope in maintaining this list is to provide a mechanism to facilitate dialogue among faculty members who work in the administration of journals as they address emerging issues related to management of scholarly communication, opening access to journal literature, and preserving author rights.
Librarians have been leaders in the movement for expanded sharing of scholarship. Here are some of the many library resources available to you:
NC DOCKS is an open access repository of scholarship by the faculty of a number of UNC System schools such as Appalachian State, UNC-G, ECU and others. Appalachian scholars, who want to gain a wider audience for their research and hence greater impact, should consider participating in NC Digital Online Collection of Knowledge and Scholarship (NC DOCKS), a statewide digital repository of scholarly work and managed locally by the Library. NC DOCKS contains full text articles and other scholarly output; Materials added to NC DOCKS have a dependable URL, are indexed by Google and freely available to scholars and researchers worldwide. Researchers can also submit their data sets. This is especially useful for investigators preparing grant proposals for the National Science Foundation (NSF) which requires a data management plan for the research and data.
Managing Your Intellectual Property [4]
Managing your own copyright as an author is crucial to retaining important rights to copy, reuse, and post your scholarship online. Your subject specialist can talk with you about your rights as author and point you to an author addendum [5] to use when publishing to help retain certain copyrights such as the right to distribute your work to your students and to deposit it in an online repository such as NC DOCKS.
Open Access Publishing [6]
Librarians can help you identify open access journals [7] in your field that are peer-reviewed and well-regarded.
The Market for Information [8]
What economic factors are helping drive the open access movement and the development of repositories such as NC DOCKS and PubMed Central? Librarians in Collection Management and Acquisitions deal with the inflation on materials and e-resources daily.
- Taking Action: Steps for Faculty Authors [9]
Librarians can help work with faculty authors who want to take control of their scholarship. We recommend a few steps such as depositing articles in NC DOCKS and retaining copyright whenever possible. We are happy to consult further about author rights.
Please contact Allan Scherlen at email@example.com [10] for more information.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|I purchased a fuel selector valve and switch at Autozone today. Cheap, cheap!! Paid $31 bucks total. Exactly what I want. Got the rest of the plumbing hardware and will put it together tomorrow. Will let everyone know how it works.
I can sympathize with Poncho's point of view. My 283 is very fuel thrifty for all the punch it gives, but I would be filling up every three days. My Rat is used as a daily driver. Plus in California, long distances to car shows is the norm. Try driving 600 plus miles round trip to a meet and fill ups become a pain in the butt.
Safety should not be an issue with a fuel selector switch. You'd never want to drain the tank dry anyway. Look at the trip meter and when 200 miles rolls around switch to the tank that has the gauge. Sure, you never use all of the 21 gallons but I wouldn't want to do that in any case. Not much to it.
Shortstep's comment is an interesting one. However, I think it will be easier to have the one tank lower than the other from an installation point of view. Using a fuel tank selector switch, although not my first choice, seems to be the way to go to avoid all the issues of fuel levels, heights, etc.
|I don't think its worth all the hassle, plus the safety factor. I have a 20 gallon tank, and still have to fill up every 200 miles. If I was getting 20 mpg, I would be happy to gas up every 200 miles.
|I don't think the two tanks have to be same level as long as the tops are the same level and the T is below both tanks. One tank will run out first but this shouldn't be a problem. Or you could just do like on a motorcycle and have a spare tank. Put a valve for the tank with a gauge and cut it off until you run out or nearly out and then go to the reserve tank. Of course this is a little risky in traffic so you might want to plumb it for easy access.
|4 Jaw Chuck
I would run a switch for all the hassle, many trucks use them and finding new parts should be easy. Would be nice to wire in a new sender for the other tank so when you switch you get the new tanks fuel level.
Thats the way I would go.
The original tank came from Total Performance, made of steel, advertised to be used with T-buckets. It is rectangle.
The second tank is from Dan's (a Dune Buggy outfit), made of heavy duty Poly, and is cylindrical (10 inch by 33 inch).
Neither tank has a vent tube, so both tanks would have to be drilled and a tube run. Frankly, I don't want to do that unless it's absolutely necessary.
Because of the size and shape of the tanks, I can match the bottom or I can match the top, but I can't do both. Which is better for faster filling and/or for total fuel capacity?
Another option mentioned by a friend would be to run a fuel switch between the two. Run one tank then the other so I would not have to worry about the height of the tanks. Advantages/disadvantages of that option?
|4 Jaw Chuck
I would look into finding a non-vented cap for the lower tank and then use the top tank to feed the lower tank through the vent tube. Can you give us an idea which tanks your using? Having a large vent tube to feed between the two tanks is important or else you will find filling the both of them takes a long time (have to wait for the lower tank to catch up if your below half full). Safety lock-wiring the lower tank cap on is a good idea just in case.
The trick is finding a non-vented cap to fit your lower tank.
Because liquid will seek to be level; the bottom of both tanks will have to be mounted at the same height. The top of the tanks should be the same height of each other or you will only be able to fill the lower height tank. This is because the fuel will run from one tank to the other and as one tank is (for example) filled 4 " from the bottom so will the second tank. The vented caps should be fine.
Your working fuel gauge will read OK, but remember that when it reads 1/2 you will have half in one tank and half in the other.
Using a 10 gallon tank and an 11 gallon tank will not enable you to have a total of 21 gallons unless the tanks are both the same height.
Fuel Tank Installation Plumbing Questions
I have a '28 Ford rat rod that came with a small fuel tank in the trunk (10 gal). I drive a lot and fueling up every 200 miles became a drag real fast. I debated installing a larger tank, but when it came to cost, it was way less expensive to install a secondary tank (I had room in the trunk).
I am about to install the second tank (11 gal). I'm going to run a line from that tank to a T. The original fuel tank will also go to the T. The T will, of course, exit to the main fuel line to the engine. I do not want to install a second fuel gauge sender (the one works fine on the original tank).
I've talked to several people and I am receiving conflicting information regarding the position/placement of the second tank for the above configuration to work. Some have said the tanks have got to be parallel with the bottom halves of each tank (where the fuel exits the tank) to be level with each other, otherwise air will get into the system. Others have said that the fill tubes have to be approximately the same height or fuel will attempt to run from one tank to another, causing fueling problems. Still others are concerned about venting (both tanks come with a vented fuel cap) and the impact on both fueling and air. My fuel pump is mechanical.
Has anyone set up a system similar to what I suggest? That is, just running to fuel lines to a standard T so fuel is drawn equally from both tanks. Am I missing anything? Something I need to know before proceeding? Any help would be appreciated.

Shout-out for Caffe d'Bolla
Zagat has singled out Salt Lake City's Caffe d'Bolla in its list of "50 States, 50 Must-Try Coffee Shops." The 8-year-old downtown coffee bar is known for buying beans from small farms from around the world, micro-roasting them in the shop, and brewing them individually. There is no drip coffee here; instead they are brewed through a siphon, also called "vaccum pot" brewing. John Piquet, owner along with his wife Yiching, says he roasts coffee beans up to four times a week and espresso every week or so.
After he concocts a cup of Ethiopia Yirga Cheffe Kochere coffee advertised as tasting like figs and dates, mixed berries, stewed peach and cocoa Piquet tells a customer to "treat it like a glass of wine." It must sit for a couple of minutes because it's warmed to 200 degrees and it needs to "open up."

IIRC one set was stunt and one was hero. Which one was which?
Printable View
IIRC one set was stunt and one was hero. Which one was which?
Someone correct me if I'm way off here, but I believe the set that shows the "gold" weathering on the right gaunt is the stunt.
For the left gaunt, I think the stunt is the one with a big chunk broken off just below/in front of the calc pad.
So I think AoSW is stunt?
Thanks guys.
I always thought MoM was the hero. Heck, I would still go wiht MoM because its the most comprehensive to date !
the MoM are hero imo, as the AOSW have indeed the kind of gold weathering on the right gaunt, are totally messed up on the right side of the left gaunt, and overall don't have the tiny detailed scratches on them...
and the kind of grey dust on the stunt's from Aosw..
Not to throw the discussion for a loop, but I don't believe the AoSW or MoM gauntlets are the "hero" gauntlets- at least not the right gaunt.
Pics to follow!
So ....
Right - Stunt (Gold Weathering)
Left - Stunt (Broken on right side)
Right - Stunt
Left - Hero?
Help me tylerdurden ... your my only hope. :lol
:D I'm curious 2!
Joe Johnson mentions having to throw some of Fett's parts away becuase they where messed up. Could these pieces have been broken and scraped?
Doh! I spent the better part of the evening researching the Jedi gauntlets with a friend, and by the time we finished, I was spent.
First, I'm hesitant to label the gauntlets "hero" or "stunt." Generally "stunt" pieces are of lower quality or finishing work than the "hero," and I don't see any delineation in quality among the gauntlets we see on exhibit.
Anyway, It's going to take a little time to sort out decent quality images, but in the mean time, the AOSW Left gauntlet is the primary gauntlet used in both the US and UK Jedi filming locations and in publicity stills.
The majority of Fett's parts on tour are screen-used; it's the amount of screen time that varies.Quote:
cal196 said:
Thanks tylerdurden. Take a break and have a beer. :cheers
Updated terms ...
Right - Secondary (Gold Weathering) ?
Left - Primary Filming & Publicity (Broken on right side)
Right - Secondary ?
Left - Secondary ?
I think this is one of them things that summons up more questions instead of anwsers...
Yea ... but what do you expect when building a Fett Suit. :lolQuote:
R_boba_fett said:
:p all 2 true...
The AOSW right gauntlet is used in the scenes where Fett is standing on the Skiff, roping Luke. Note: it is not the same gauntlet used when he falls on the skiff floor.
*Credit to Brak's Buddy for creating the comparison image*
Thanks tylerdurden & Brak's Buddy. :thumbsupQuote:
tylerdurden said:
Now ... more questions than answers.
Which gauntlet was used when he falls on the skiff floor? MoM? Another gauntlet?
Would the AoSW Right Gauntlet be considered the "primary" RoTJ gauntlet? One scene can be matched, but was it used in others?
We don't really see much of the "fall down" gauntlet, but we do see enough to be fairly confident that it is neither the MoM or AoSW right gauntlet.Quote:
Gator Fett said:
Personally, I'd say the AOSW right gauntlet is not the "primary" ROTJ, but it's certainly debatable. Another gauntlet, which is not on exhibit, appears throughout the Jabba's palace scenes and in promotional stills. So, I lean toward that gauntlet being primary, but again, it's debatable.Quote:
Would the AoSW Right Gauntlet be considered the "primary" RoTJ gauntlet? One scene can be matched, but was it used in others?
There are few Buttercup Valley/Yuma scences detailed enough to positively ID the gauntlets, so at the moment, it's tough to say where else they might pop up.
Updated tally, but still up for debate.
Right (Gold Weathering) - Secondary - Screen Used
Left (Broken on right side) - Primary - Screen Used & Publicity
Right - Secondary - Not Screen Used, No Publicity Photos ?
Left - Secondary - Not Screen Used, No Publicity Photos ?
Right - Primary - Screen Used & Publicity
the gloves in that compae pic look awfully dark to be the light grey ones we see in the AoSW and MoM... or am I being anoying here...?:p
Well, I've proposed for quite some time that the gloves and jumpsuit you see at MoM are signficantly lighter than they were during filming, with laundering and general color/dye fading being the main culprit.Quote:
R_boba_fett said:
I think the ROTJ gloves were only maybe 1 or 2 shades lighter than the ESB gloves simply due to time and fading in the desert sun.
I know that this is a total newbie question, and has been gone over probably a zillion times... but what the heck is ASW and MOM? I am still learning some of my anagrams and initials.
ASW is the Art of Star Wars exibit and MoM is the Magic of the Myth exibit.

text: There are some beeks on here that have left the bottom screen open in the winter. I would not do it, but everybody does things a little differently. A wood hive has almost no insulation value and hence you could say that removing the bottom of something with no insulation value should have little effect. That is probably true, but I would be concerned about wind blowing in through an open bottom and pulling out what little heat the bees are making. A wood hive is a poor insulator, but at least it can keep the wind off the bees.A cold bee is a dead bee; rather it starved or froze is academic in my book :-D

Arsenal Football Club bid a fond farewell to its Charity of the Season 2010/11 today and celebrated the end of a successful partnership with the charity which helps homeless young people have a future.
Centrepoint's Chief Executive, Seyi Obakin accompanied by Arsenal fan Nasir Ahmed, who has benefitted from the charity's work, joined charity champions and Arsenal staff to celebrate a successful year which saw the Club exceed its fundraising target of £500,000. The money raised will fund refurbishment of a state-of-the-art service in Dean Street, Soho. The centre will help homeless young people across London to develop essential life skills to get back on their feet and stay off the streets permanently.
CEO Ivan Gazidis said: "I'm very proud that Arsenal's staff, supporters and community embraced the partnership and not only succeeded in surpassing the fundraising target but more importantly engaged people in the process. There have been a number of highlights across the partnership and I'd like to thank everybody involved for participating and making the partnership such a huge success."
Seyi Obakin added: "We are so grateful to everyone at Arsenal Football Club for their support throughout the season. The fantastic amount of money that was raised has helped us surpass our original fundraising target and will enable us to make significant strides towards creating a newly refurbished facility at Dean Street in Soho that will benefit many young homeless people that the charity supports."
The partnership saw a number of exciting initiatives which engaged Arsenal supporters, players, staff and partners. In December, the Club dedicated its Premier League match against Fulham to the charity and saw players and Directors donating a day's wages to the cause and staff giving what they could. Special edition bobble hats were produced and sold out fast and an Arsenal first was celebrated when 19 year-old Kareem Leigh, who had once played against Jack Wilshere in the West Ham academy, delivered the match ball to officials on the day to help kick-off this special matchday.
The Club's automotive partner, Citroën were also involved in the initiative which saw an exciting collaboration of Arsenal players and artist Ian Cook to create a unique piece of artwork using radio controlled cars. The finished piece depicting a goal celebration featuring Arsenal players was auctioned at the Club's Annual Charity Ball for £4,000.
In March, the Club saw the most successful 'Be a Gunner. Be a Runner.' event with staff joining 600 runners at Emirates Stadium for 10 laps around Arsenal's home.
The Annual Arsenal Ball was the grand finale to the partnership which saw Eliza Doolittle and Bryan Ferry headlining at this prestigious event attended by the manager and the first team which raised over £300,000 for Centrepoint and the Arsenal Charitable Trust.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Printing of highly integrated crossbar junctions
Soft organic, polymeric or biological material promise new functionalities e.g. switching or specific recognition reactions applicable for memory elements or biosensors, respectively. Appropriate fabrication strategies require avoiding process conditions harmful for the sensitive soft materials. Researchers at Sony Deutschland GmbH and the Forschungszentrum Jülich have developed together a new route for the realization of organic-inorganic heterojunctions that combines Nanoimprint lithography with a universal and gentle printing method. The feasibility of this process is demonstrated by the incorporating conductive polymer films into the cross points redundant and failure tolerant 8x8bit crossbar arrays.
Nils Sanetra, Zoi Karipidou, René Wirtz, Nikolaus Knorr, Silvia Rosselli, Gabriele Nelles, Andreas Offenhäusser and Dirk Mayer
Abstract: In this publication, a new process is presented that combines nanoimprint lithography and soft lithography to assemble metal–bridge–metal crossbar junctions at ambient conditions. High density top and bottom metal electrodes with half-pitches down to 50 nm are fabricated in a parallel process by means of ultraviolet nanoimprint lithography. The top electrodes are realized on top of a sacrificial layer and are embedded in a polymer matrix. The lifting of the top electrodes by dissolving the sacrificial layer in an aqueous solution results in printable electrode stamps. Crossbar arrays are noninvasively assembled with high yield by printing the top electrode stamps onto bare or modified bottom electrodes.
A semiconducting and a quasi metal like conducting type of polymer are incorporated in the cross points to form metal-polymer-metal junctions. The electrical characterization of the printed junctions revealed that the functional integrity of the electrically addressed conductive polymers is conserved during the assembling process. These findings suggest that printing of electrodes represents an easy and cost effective route to highly integrated nanoscale metal-bridge-metal junctions if imprint lithography is used for electrode fabrication.

Here is my 2009 MOW ESB Jetpack. After building/painting Andy's pack, i realized mine was lacking, as i painted it 3yrs ago with less reference than i have now, so i decided to repaint it. I also got a more accurate "ring" that is between the pack and the rocket that has the correct 16 slots. The pack is loaded with metal parts! It has Dark-side's beacon, and thruster greeblies/activation buttons, a real dental file from Kurtyboy, The stabilizer is a Mojo-fett, and the rocket collar is from Serenity. The thrusters attach via earth magnets to an ABS plate glued inside the pack. The rocket breaks down in 2 pieces which are attached via earth magnets. The entire rocket unit is attached with a bolt and wingnut.
Here are my 2009 MOW ESB Gauntlets. Since i redid the jetpack, i decided to redo the gauntlets as well for the same reasons. I added a newer MOW flamethrower i purchased from a member here, real MQ-1 keypad(not a cast), die-cast dental expander, Aluminum/copper rocket i got from a member here (TK286? i forget, my apologies), Gaunt darts are from Mojo-Fett. I also added the LED light on the right gauntlet that works via one of the toggle switches. The cast in MOW knobs weere removed with my dremel and i added 2 real dental files i got from Kurtyboy. I knew the gauntlets were a different color than the armor, so i used the color i will be using on my scratch built helmet, and eventually to repaint my Bobamaker helmet, which is Humbrol #78 applied with an airbrush. In my reference pictures i got from right here on TDH, it appears the color of the helmet and gauntlets are the same, or at least very very close. So thats why i chose that color. So here they are in their new painted glory!
Hope you guys like em!
*shameless plug...i do paintwork..just look for my thread in the cargohold!*

Its just interesting that in "Successful Queen Rearing" by Spivak she has a picture of cell bars with 3 rows of 20 cell cups(they are spaced 3/4" on center). Spivak mentions a properly prepared swarm box handling 60-100 cells. I wanted to fit 20 in one row since the Mann Lake queen hair roller cages won't fit two deep on a medium frame. Thanks to all for the info. :)
a hive might can raise that many but how many will be good quality? now what I mean by the best is top feed queens and none under feed to insure this, the queen can live and deliver to her potential if mated right,

Re: Integral points on elliptic curves
Baker theory (not proof) isn't constructive from algorhitmic point of
view. Much better is Hall conjecture.
If we take additional condition that Hall conjecture is true in such
case Abs[x] is less than (4 d^2 E^2 ProductLog[-1, -(1/(2 d E))]^2)
which isn't overflow for Mathematica for resonable d values d=x^3-y^2
Some programmes working that these limits for x are much more decreased
but exceptions are stored in separate base of points with big canonical high.
If we take very sharp limit x <d^2 only 25 exceptions is know for d=x^3-y^2
see e.g. http://www.math.harvard.edu/~elkies/hall.html

Discussion in 'Football, Baseball, and Hockey' started by TheeTFD, Jan 8, 2013.
Lions Kool-Aid is flowing again.
I drank so much I need to whizz.
Detroit Lions release running back Jahvid Best | MLive.com
Smart move. The Lions gave him more than a fair chance to recover. Best seems like a great guy. This will save the Lions some cap room.
Jim Schwartz went 2-14 in 2009, 6-10 in 2010, 10-6 in 2011 and 4-12 in 2012. (Daniel Mears / Detroit News) The Lions' Jim Schwartz ranks no better than the 21st-best coach in the NFL, according to Pete Prisco of CBSSports.com, and given the Lions 4-12 record in 2012, perhaps he's right. Super Bowl coaches and brothers John Harbaugh of the Ravens and Jim Harbaugh of the Niners ranked third and eighth, respectively. The Patriots' Bill Belichick took top honors, followed by the Giants' Tom Coughlin. As for Schwartz, Prisco says: "He is 22-42 in his four seasons with the Lions, with just one winning season. That's not good enough. He is another one who coaches with swagger, but that sometimes spills over to the field. As a defensive mind, you would think his defenses would be better." Prisco's complete report is here. From The Detroit News:http://www.detroitnews.com/article/20130717/SPORTS0101/307170119#ixzz2ZYQBpLXT Geez , that aint good enough:
after this season...he'll be ranked about 26th............
Or 1st.
15-1 and a trip to the Super Bowl ought to do it. If that happens...I'll drive to Boise and wash Drath's car.
Here's the important step to go 15-1: Detroit Lions sign WR Chaz Schilens, who had 28 catches for Jets last season | Fox News
They looked at Breaston, [good] L. Robinson[explosive before concussion] and that guy ?????? !
Team Report - DETROIT LIONS - Yahoo! Sports
Detroit Sees a Glimmer of Hope—In Football - WSJ.com
I read an article that said Suh came into camp in better physical shape than ever and that he is playing fantastic.
Shilens is 6'4" ran a 4.38, 40 at the combines and was drafted in the 7th rnd ! Dude must have bad hands.
J Oops. Sorry, fishy. I missed your post. But I think I read something like that elsewhere too. Either way, all he needs to do is to is realizing that the best way he can help his team is to focus all of his skill and energy on helping his team win.Much easier said then done, I guess. The Lions can change their image by winning but perhaps they first need to conduct themselves like winners to actually attain that status. I'm not entirely certain if they were on a gradual or fast track to achieving this, but they certainly were on said track. However it appeared to me that regardless, it seemed like it DID fall apart quickly in comparison to the time taken to gain respect. Suh and Schwartz started acting stupid on the field, then the offseason escapades of several of the team members, then back to the crappy image. I think this is a watershed year for them and that either way people will get a taste of where this team is heading the next few seasons. A 9-7 season would help a lot and I believe most people will be thrilled if they achieve 10 or more.
Look around and you'll see Fairley is looking very mean.
This Friday Ford Field Jets visit Lion can you dig ittt ?
When Boss Ross had that Defense playing well and we went to the P/Os he quit the next year. I'm sure Ford Sr. tried to change Ross style and that's why he left. Same for Joe Schmit. * Any way Jets have lost their way as they try to milk something from they're $8M QB. They brought in Gino Smith got rid of Shonn Greene the RB and still don't have a monster WR. But Ryan can inspire and coach Defense. We should have no problem with them. But Jets have been known to cheat and play dirty ! Lions should've strenghtened their Defense with new faces all over. But the Oline is a work in progress and maybe our only weak link. LBs don't seem to be very good playmakers but no team is perfect.

Bartell is out playing Slay, that's a good thing. ---RT--- !
