We were neighbors, and you were one of the few people I knew, if I have you correctly. You're on B dock, you were a nurse, you lost your lovely bride two years ago to cancer, and you're working on a townhouse in East Boston. Do I have the right person?
I was on C dock, the guy who never got a cover up, only the frame (I finally got both up last winter) on a 28' boat no longer called Fiasco (as she generally was, in so many regards, and I disliked being reminded!)
I summer on a hook in Duxbury Bay but she (now Nanagram) was in such tough shape, after three years living aboard without hauling, that I put her in the Brownell yard this winter for a mini-refit next spring and summer.
I plan to sail south mid- or late-summer and aren't coming back. I've had enough snow and diabetes is ravaging my body. I want to sail south while I can still read charts and have feet for flippers.
Sometime, come spring, I'd love to catch up. Maybe coffee at Sorelle?

I would use the materials designed for engine compartments instead of what is being discussed - not only will it help reduce noise but is fire rated.
Reflectix is good for radiative and a little bit of conductive, but the closed cell foams are better at conductive as the chart I posted shows. When installed and sealed around the edges the convective is taken care of as well.

I am a live-aboard on a Caliber 40lrc in portland , Maine and am doing the same thing. I recently installed an ITR Hurricane H2 heater which uses about 15gallons of diesel a week. One of the best heat savers I have installed is the clear shrinkwrap. It was 65° on deck at noon yesterday.
As for insulation, I installed some 1/2" Tuff-R from Home Depot this past weekend. It works fairly well next to the bunk(where the admiral sleeps) and inside one of the hanging lockers. Unfortunately it dents easily and is open cell. I am looking for an alternative.
As for the plywood cored decks, that is correct. Caliber uses plywood cut into squares and then tiled in epoxy throughout the deck.
|I also live aboard in Boston Harbor (at Constitution Marina). Are we neighbors? Anyways, I have used the Reflectix on my boat and it seems to make a difference. My understanding of how those reflective type insulations work is that their R-value is dependent on the temperature difference across them. When there is a high temperature difference, more heat is being lost due to radiation, and it's the radiation they block, not conduction like other insulating materials. I'm not 100% sure that explanation is correct, so take with a grain of salt. I used my reflectix to insulate the lockers that the ducting for my Espar runs through. It has made the air coming out of the V-berth vent noticeably warmer. That's the only insulation I've added to my boat. My boat seems to have a lot of air spaces near the hull that I guess act as pretty good insulation on their own, since I'm plenty warm and only burn about 1 gallon of diesel a day.
|would you guys use the same stuff in the engine compartment? im noticing a bit of a draft coming through there.
|Another option is to use regular closed-cell foam insulation and then laminate mylar "space blanket" to the inner surface to provide additional insulation. I'd point out that most of the plastic/foam insulation will produce toxic fumes if burned. Cork is a better choice if you want to avoid toxic fumes. Aerogel is a good insulator, but expensive and difficult to work with.
|Reflectix is not R-5. Below is a chart from Capt'n Pauley's site I linked to above. That shows it at 2.38/inch. It is about 3/8' thick so R value is .89 for 1 layer. Note that several of the foam types listed are R-5 or better. I like the Reflectix/1/2" closed cell foam/Reflectix method and will use it in my V berth area. The foam I use is Ethafoam, a flexible closed cell foam that is easy to cut and glue in place.
I already glued 1 layer of the Reflectix on my boat (a work in progress), including inside the storage areas/cabinets etc., intending to get new Vinyl fabric to cover it but after seeing the "strip plank" type installation noted above I'm now going to finish it that way.
The Reflectix has been doing a great job w/ just 1 layer (R 5?) and I'm only using "1" 20 lb. propane tank every 7-10 days and keep my boat 72-74 avg. inside w/ winter lows that avg about 15F here in Rhode Island.
On the bottom of settee's storage area, I used 1/2" foam carpet pad and it also made a difference but I may change that out w/ some closed cell.
This is a mailorder closed cell foam page, but they sell all types of foam, including custom cut (V-Berths etc.), really reasonable. Poke around, they have lots of deals.
closed-cell foam, slow recovery memory foam, qualex foam, polyethylene, neoprene, polystyrene, EPS,

Click the links below to find more information:
Online applications for the upcoming fall semester will be available July 1 for the traditional program and September 1 for the advanced standing program. The application deadline is February 15 for the traditional program and July 1 for the advanced standing program. The admission committee interviews applicants who meet the admissions requirements. The program accepts one class each fall semester. If accepted, classes will begin in August. All applicants pay a nonrefundable application fee of $25.
Admissions information may be obtained from the Office of Student Records and Registrar, the address is:
University of Mississippi Medical CenterOffice of Student Records and Registrar2500 N. State St.Jackson, MS 39216-4505Telephone: (601) 984-1080
No. The online application contains a "Plan of Study" section where projected courses should be listed. All of the prerequisite courses must be complete prior to enrollment in the fall semester for students who are accepted into the program.
No. All pre-requisite courses must be completed prior to enrollment in the program.
The Department of Radiologic Sciences does not distinguish between where the courses are taken. The common number system of the Community Colleges and the Institutions of Higher Learning assures that the content is the same in the courses.
No, as long as they have been taken at an accredited university or college.
Observation must be done with a registered radiologic technologist. It is up to the individual applicant to set up his or her own observation hours. The documentation forms are found in the online application for the traditional program. A minimum of four hours of observation is recommended.
No. CPR certification will need to be completed prior to registration for students who are accepted into the traditional program. To obtain CPR certification, most students contact the American Red Cross or American Heart Association to find out when and where BLS for Healthcare Provider CPR courses are offered. Some community colleges also offer three hour First Aid and CPR courses where students can obtain certification.
Yes. Mississippi law requires all health care workers, including students, to have completed criminal background checks. All University of Mississippi Medical Center students who will participate in patient care activities will be required to successfully complete a criminal history background check, including fingerprinting, prior to beginning clinical activities. Applicants are advised that a felony conviction may affect a graduate's ability to sit for certification, registration, or licensure examinations.
The University of Mississippi is a state supported school and, therefore, preference is given to residents of the State of Mississippi. The Office of Student Records and Registrar determines the status of residency.
Maintaining a high GPA, high ACT score, and exploring as many facets of radiologic sciences as possible will help initial ranking and performance on the interview. Excellent writing and good interpersonal skills are equally emphasized. Observation of a radiologic technologist in a clinical setting is not required; however, it is recommended so students can have an idea of what the profession entails.
Currently, the Department of Radiologic Sciences accepts a maximum of 25 students one time per year.
The average GPA is usually over 3.3. This is based on an average, which means there are lower and higher GPAs; however, the range is usually from 3.00 to 4.00.
Students are encouraged to apply to multiple programs. Each admissions process is a separate activity.
Radiologic Sciences students are encouraged not to become pregnant during the 22 months of school in order to be able to rotate through the various assigned areas without any interruption. However, if a student declares her pregnancy while enrolled in the Radiologic Sciences program, she will not be dismissed from school because of pregnancy. Please know that the disclosure of pregnancy is strictly voluntary. Pregnant students have the option to continue in the program without any modification in clinical placement while enrolled in the program.
Radiologic Sciences students are informed of Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) regulations regarding the declared pregnant student. The program's pregnancy policy (radiation safety for the embryo-fetus) is consistent with the NRC regulations. All students are issued personnel dosimeters and the program is committed to the principle of keeping exposure as low as reasonably achievable. A pregnant student who voluntarily informs program officials of her pregnancy is issued a fetal dosimeter and may request reassignment to clinical areas where she may remain within the shielded controlled area; however, all clinical competencies must be met before a student can graduate.

subject index
Inmate Profile Summary
This County Detention Facilities Summary provides a monthly profile of Florida's detention facility inmate populations. Monthly Average Daily Population (ADP) figures include male, female, adult and juvenile inmates.
These population figures are arranged into felony, misdemeanor and "other" subcategories in Table 1. "Other" includes the number of parole violators, state inmates, undocumented aliens, holdings for other jurisdictions and individuals detained under the Baker (mental health) and Myers (alcoholism) Acts. Within felony and misdemeanor subcategories, the number of inmates sentenced, held for trial or sentencing, and those detained or sentenced for violation of probation are listed.
Table 2 features the Average Daily Population and incarceration rate in each county. Table 3 lists the number and percent of felony and misdemeanor pretrial inmates at each detention facility.
The Jail Population Summary (Table 4) lists detention center totals for the year to date.
Table of Contents:
On average, there were 63,147 inmates in Florida's county detention facilities during the month of April 2006. The statewide average daily (ADP) totals include 54,096 adult males (85.7%), 8,511 adult females (13.5%), 518 juvenile males (0.1%) and 21 juvenile females (0.0%). The overall distribution of male and female inmates has remained constant in county detention facilities for the past several years. The following provides an analysis of the inmate population for April 2006:April 2006 Jail Population Recap
In April 2006, the statewide county detention incarceration rate was 3.5 per 1,000 county residents based on the population estimates for April 1, 2005. The county population estimates are provided by the Office of Economic and Demographic Research of the Florida Legislature. Incarceration rates ranged from a low of 1.4 in Flagler County, to a high of 11.3 in Franklin County. Other counties may be experiencing high incarceration rates due to the contracting of bed space for federal inmates.Pretrial Population Levels
During the month of April 2006, 38,050 of the inmates housed in county detention facilities were classified as "Awaiting Trial." Of these, 31,612 offenders (83.1%) were awaiting trial for felony offenses while 6,438 (16.9%) were detained for misdemeanor violations. Of the 66 counties reporting, 62.2% had over half of their inmates awaiting trial.
Notes: The following facilities did not report: None.
The following facilities did not report due to technical difficulties:Sarasota County Jail.

John may I suggest a short course in dropping swarms of bees out of pine trees with Bud and Scott !! That would be fun.
congrats BTW. i was wondering if you'd ever really get it! :evil:
Congrats on getting it. Sincerely hope plinking is all you ever need to do. Hopefully, it will be like an insurance policy. Never wanting to use it, but glad to have it when needed.

So if the beekeeper follows advice for a queenright colony and removes queen cells the day before queen introduction, does that create the same environment as removing an old queen the day before new queen is introduced?
Hi Joseph,So basically what you're saying is it doesn't matter if the bees have been queenless for 24 hours or 10 days, they're still quite likely to readily accept a new introduced queen? Or does the longer they go queenless make a difference to likelihood of queen acceptance?Thanks,Bob
possible invasion by foreign queens (I wouldn't have considered this last one, except I've witnessed it myself).
it is common for africanized bees to invade and take over a hive. if you see that keep an eye on that colony for aggressiveness.

power used
for hydrogen on my car is 4 amps at 12 volts which equals 48 watts whooopeydoo, a head light takes 4 times as much. and 1/4 tea spoon of baking soda with 16 oz of distilled water. I can get 220 more miles per tank full on a trip with this unit.if I got 20 mpg which i don't that equates to 11 gallons of gas at $3.83 a gallon right now. That's $42.13 saved every tank full. How can any one in their right mind argue with this. I am dumbfounded by the reasoning by some about this wonderful find. Its like every fill up Exxon gives me 11 free gallons of gas. only bad part is I have to bring the jug in on cold nights so it don't freeze. I can live with that easily. look on Ebay and see how many are selling these and there has to be many more buying them i am one. I can make my own but they are cheap enough to buy on line. Technology will leave you guys behind soon if you don,t start to think outside the box
Think I'll take a break now and try to expand my narrow mind so I can embrace some of this amazing technology. Perhaps sniffing the fumes of a couple dozen burning plastic milk jugs will free up enough brain cells to make that happen.
Why don't
you try taking some of your physics and empty your bowels as you are full of BS. This works and this throws all your preconceived notions on what you believe to be true in the rubbish. This is why America cant move forward on many things blind folks like you and other greedy ones who want to protect the oil industry. All the working units all over America puts all you fault finders in a bad position, similar to the finger pointers at the Wright Brothers Had any of you took the time to go in the field and see these working units, you would then see the ignorance that has had grasps on your thinking. I pay less you pay more because of ignorance and stubborness heheheeheh
First let me first appologize for being a greedy crook oil man for the past 40 years producing all that evil gasolne to power your GTOs and Vettes. I'll think about repenting but it will be hard in view of the obscene profits I have made all these years.
Let's look at your machine with a little engineering logic. I realize that makes the analysis bogus but humor me, I was trained to think logically. You claim that your machine improves the energy output of a given volume of gasoline 50%. If that is the case (follow the logical progression here), would not adding a second machine to your car double the energy output of any fuel used in the engine and allow elimination of all the gasoline? Now you could run your 150hp engine on 100% on-board generated hydrogen thru a couple of ~6hp alternators. Now I have to resort to that ignorant, unenlightened engineering education I got but again, humor me, I got my learnin' from college, not You-Tube videos. Since an internal combustion, 4-cycle engine (Otto cycle) is capable of 20% to 25% thermal efficiency, the alternators are ~95% efficient, and the electrolysis process is only ~80% efficient unless you are using platinum electrodes, your machine is 8 to 10 times more efficient than previously theoretically possible!
Stated another way, the hydrogen you generate contains many times more energy than the gasoline (or hydrogen) burned to generate it. It follows that the hydrogen you generate will have more energy than any fuel used to generate it. Thus you could power ~15 or so alternators from your engine generating hydrogen. Only 2 of the alternators are need to run your engine so the excess hydrogen from that engine could power more engines generating more excess hydrogen. That could go on infinitely and the whole world could be powered from free hydrogen.
Again, the lure of perpetual motion machines (be they hydrogen generators, 100mpg carburetors, complicated rotating weight and lever machines, rope and pulley contraptions, there have been infinite perpetual motion machines proposed over the centuries) is strong and folks have always and will always fall for them.
You are a Moderator
your math
is faulty I have a working unit,, hehe thats better than your mud slinging. I have college also but I never said I was a know it all, except I know what I have and it does the job , heheh for 3.5 years.Proof is far better than accusations. There are to many chicken littles in this Country.
My setup
Well guys I have had quite a tongue lashing from some in this forum. About hydrogen generators for cars to save gas. I am 68 years old and can usually tell when I'm being ripped off or tricked. That comes from experience of being around this long. I have some photos of my hydrogen generator that is in my Ford Windstar. It has been in the Van for 3.5 years and I keep it going by refills and new coils every 6 months or when needed. Does anyone in here think I would have kept this in my car for this long if it did not do what I claim it does? I originally posted this idea to help others who may want to save some gas during this gas war with outrageous prices. But evidentially even some Moderators in here have bashed this all to hell. This is not a gimmick I have no reason to lie or trick anyone just help them out like I am enjoying when I use this unit. As I mentioned earlier in the forum I usually get a 10 mpg increase when I go on a trip and drive at 60 mph. Around town 4 to 5 mpg increase because of the speeds in my country roads. But 4mpg increase is major to me. I have a 22 gal tank and that amounts to 88 more miles I can travel on my back roads. 88 more miles is around 4 extra gallons of gas I did not have to pay for.4X $3.83 around 14 bucks worth. I will post some photos of my set up in my Ford Windstar van. This is a simple canning jar for strength, distilled water because it has no pollutants in it. !/4 tea spoon of baking soda. 12 volts running to a stainless steel wire coil and some rubber tubing. An Aquarium blow off valve set at about a lb. The intake sucks up only what is generated and burns it in the combustion chamber. How and exactly what it burns i don't know, if its Oxygen, hydrogen, but I don't care it increases my gas mileage. It costs me 35 dollars to get set up 3.5 yrs ago. All this stuff is available online run a search for HHo or brown gas. Brown gas is the term for the baking soda as it turns brown when it is being charged with 12 volts and is generating. That's it in a nut shell no big scary thing. Easy as pie to do. Some cars have problems accepting the Hydrogen because of the computer on board. My van took the gas well with no changes. I had a 1995 Escort that would not take it. Here's some photos.
Hydrogen on demand
This unit does not store hydrogen it uses all it makes as long as 12 volts is applied to the coil. The blow off valve lets extra escape to the atmosphere so it cant build up. The vacuum source i used was from my PCV valve and I injected the hydrogen just before the butterfly valve for the intake the gas mixes with the incoming air and ignites along with the cars gas. This is not for commercial use as I have never stated this or implied this. This is for you the home owner and car driver who does not want to make investments to Bomb Belt schools everytime you buy gas from the pump.
My van photos
some photos did not post
I read this article. It confirmed my thoughts that the H2 generator mentioned here is not only innefective but dangerous.
Please read this. The guy knows what he is talking about.
I apologize if this curbs your enthusiasm, but it is a good reality check as it shows the math and hard fact involved with running hydrogen.
Those E Bay sellers are hosing people.
The E Bay generators make around 3 liters of uncompressed gas per minute(under Ideal conditions). Your van needs 700-825 liters per minute to run at 60 mph. Even adding the 3 liters per minute would not provide enough offset in fuel supply to give the results you are saying it provides.3 liters isnt even 1% of the engines fuel requirement. I doubt it would give any increase in mileage whatsoever.

By your math you are getting 220 more miles on 16 oz. of water or more than 13 miles per oz. That is pretty impressive but not too plausable.
read the info
HHO Generator
HHO Generator
HHO generators uses the basic and very old process of electrolysis of water (H2O) to convert it to its gaseous state (HHO). For a car, truck or other vehicle, the HHO generator fits either under the hood or in the trunk or bed.
Once the HHO generator creates gas from water, this is then injected into the vehicle's intake system. The hydrogen and oxygen (sometimes called hydroxy or oxyhydrogen) helps the gasoline or diesel fuel burn more cleanly inside the cylinders.
This clean burn means fewer emissions and increased gas mileage. It must be noted that both hydrogen and oxygen are flammable and combustible in the gaseous state.
How HHO generatosr work exactly has been a debate for years. Ever since William A. Rhodes (Rhode's gas) and Yull Brown (Brown's gas) applied for patents in the 1960's and 1970's concerning HHO gas and showed its use in welding applications, critics have been calling this snake oil, scams, and other choice names.
What the critics have yet to explain however is the fact that it actually does work. Yull Brown used an HHO torch to weld materials and even burn himself on the forearm to prove that an HHO generator can produce clean gas with a high temperature (over 6,000 F).
A company that Rhodes started in Phoenix, Arizona called Arizona Hydrogen Manufacturing is now selling HHO generator based welding machines that electrolyze water to create the gas for a high temperature flame. It's hard to call something snake oil when there is irrefutable visual evidence that it works.
So, because HHO gas is not well understood on an atomic scale, some people tend to pan what they don't understand. But, nevertheless, HHO generators are here to stay as their demand in the automotive industry increases daily and their use in the welding industry is also a hot commodity. Technological conservatives will soon give way to the progressives on this one.
The water stays for about 3 weeks and then I add more distilled water. I dont need to add any baking soda as the slurry is all ready there. Please do your research before comenting doubts this tech is here to stay many use it. look on line under HHO and see research it. please
I have read all that stuff
I resent that you people call me a Liar when you have no proof this does not work
I have the notes and the facts while you all have nothing but some figures on a paper from some left Wing professor that probably owns stock in Exxon or other co's. And has never sat in a car with one of these units and actual drove a couple hundred miles to see for them selves. This is a very poor way to make comparrisons and give us the readers your views with out good sound test facts like I have. You people have to try this and see for your self the others are wrong I have no reason to lie , i don't sell these things i don't make these things I buy them and use them and they work. thats all I can tell you this is worse than a Political debate with lies and word twisting.try it yourself and see I am correct in everything I said here. Join thousands of happy Motorists who are skinning the Arabs of bomb belt money, hehehehe

There was widespread consensus among leading Israel and Arab newspapers that Annapolis was anything but a rousing success. In the Israeli Yediot Ahronot, columnist Nahum Barnes noted that nothing less than a "miracle would be required" for a Palestinian state to be created by the end of 2008. Its military expert blasted Olmert for placing restrictions on the military in dealing with the Gaza situation. Maariv, the nation's second largest newspaper commented in an editorial that "peace agreed for the cameras" and the main achievment was helping Olmert make it through another year in office. It commented that Defense Minister Ehud Barak, "knows that the chances for a peace treaty in a year as as great as Olmert being elected US president next November."
According to the Arab newspaper, Al-Quds Al-Arabi, "the only success at Annapolis is that the conference took place." It caustically claimed Olmert was the winner since the world now regards nuclear power Israel which has imprisoned 11,000 Palestinians as a fighter for peace. According to experts, the overall conclusion being drawn by Israel and Arab newspapers is that Annapolis in the long run will have proved to do more harm than good.

At FIDM, General Studies is more than just a list of classes you're required to take before you get to your "real" classes–it's an integral part of the degree path.
In our program students learn the skills to:
Each and every General Studies course takes students one step closer to accomplishing their goals. Here's how:
FIDM's challenging and thorough courses include subjects in the traditional liberal arts - but with an important difference. Students learn how the coursework applies to their FIDM major and the careers in which they will be working, whether it's Product Development or Fashion Design.
Each student takes the General Studies courses required for his or her major and is exposed to a variety of political, social, ethical, and artistic issues that broaden the student's scope and knowledge base. This means students are both challenged by and enthusiastic about their co-curricular studies - and it's key to why our graduates say that General Studies courses were an essential part of their FIDM education.
FIDM certifies that all courses numbered 1000 and higher are collegiate level and recommends acceptance for transfer to the California State Universities and other universities and colleges. Students learn intellectual, practical, and creative skills such as oral presentation, applied mathematics, research, and textile science that support the mission of each department in the college.
From art and costume history, to how to conduct research and prepare a portfolio, instructors bring their professional and creative experience into the classroom. These courses prepare students to be professional, articulate, and analytical. Students have access to an impressive array of guest lectures and an incomparable "study collection" encompassing over 2,000 garments and historical materials for hands-on education, research and inspiration. These skills apply directly to the information students need as they embark on a professional career in the creative industries.
Some examples of favorite General Studies courses include:
A survey of the arts from a variety of origins, both classical and contemporary, with a particular emphasis on a diversity of fine, performing and applied art forms. Students attend events that explore at least three of the following: images, sculpture, music, theater, cinema, dance, landscape, architecture and literature. Students gain an understanding of the different roles associated with these various art forms and critique these art forms through discussion, oral presentations and essays, integrating their perceptions into their final projects.
To become more self-reliant and resourceful in the job search, students investigate career opportunities and the career path, personal traits, job responsibilities, and qualifications necessary to be competitive and sought after in the industry. Students research career opportunities, develop a plan of action, conduct informational interviews, practice interviewing skills, and produce a professional resume and cover letter for immediate submission to prospective employers.
Designed to foster independent thinking, this course strengthens students' capacity to reason clearly, critically, and creatively, including the ability (1) to analyze the arguments of others, (2) to synthesize effective arguments of their own, and (3) to solve problems skillfully. Students also gain experience in reading closely and conducting purposeful, imaginative research—skills essential to the examination of demanding social, moral, political, and personal issues. Prerequisite: GNST 1040

Tablets are cool! The intuitive design and the standard features of tablets make it possible for digital financial services teams to create compelling customer experiences and support bank advisors and insurance agents in an effective and efficient way. Forrester forecasts that by 2016, 106 million people in the seven major Western European countries will own a tablet, while more than 112 million people will own one in the US. The rapid adoption of tablets means executives should make them an important part of their digital strategy. A tablet is a distinct touchpoint that needs a distinct strategy -- particularly banks that want to promote online banking or agent-based insurers -- and tablets can effectively support your multichannel strategy. Here are a couple of reasons why you should put a tablet strategy in place in the near future.
Tablets are a great device to promote self-service.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Doc here,
IF you tested the First switch, IT may be dead..(the reason you were drawn to the repair..) Toss that one in the trash.
Take ANY of the new switches, and your test lamp, or meter, go to the gas station, hook either the test lamp ACROSS the terminals (if the lamp has it's own battery's) OR your Meter set for continuity / Beep..
Insert the air nozzle into the switch orifice and give it a blast..The lamp should light, Or the the meter register/beep..IF not the switch (s) is / are Defective..(and a bad batch from the same store would not surprise me).
If it does light, you need to inspect the differential valve or proportioning valve on the line from the master cylinder..
Also remember: Front pressure will Be slightly LOWER than rear pressure..which may be the problem..

|Your on the right track with your bench test but it looks like your switches are bad......take your meter to the parts store with you and show them...test every switch they got untill you find one that works.

Bench testing brake light switch-?
Can I bench test a stop light switch that is an inline switch activated by the pressure from a hydraulic cylinder-? I can feel the plunger/shuttle go in and out, when removed, by pushing a nail through the hole where the fluid activates the switch. If I push the plunger/shuttle in and test across the two electrical contacts, should I get a reading on my continuity meter which would show that the contact was closed thus completing the circuit-? I have tried doing this but I get no reading whatsoever-? I have also tried placing this and another switch I bought in a 12V circuit to see if this would activate a 12V test light when the plunger is activated. It did not. I would think that by pushing in the plunger-shuttle by had it would simulate the pressure from hydraulic fluid and indicate the switch closed and completed the circuit-? Or, do I just have a couple of bad switches-? This problem is driving me nuts. My guys at the parts store think I don't know what I'm doing by buying all these stop light switches. I'm beginning to agree.

Could anyone throw out some measurements from their MR blaster?
If you could post a pic with measurements in CMs that would be really helpful. If nothing else, I'd love to know what the ribbed portion of the barrel comes in at, not including the coned emitter part. I know there's a slight tilt on the real deal but the MR should still come close for what I need.
I have checked, double checked, and triple checked based on the ref pics, and not all of my measurements are matching with the templates. Most noteably, it seems that the template barrel length is different? Can anyone confirm?

Really not sure how I feel about this one. Makes me wonder how we ever got on before iPods.
I'm really digging the color scheme on this one, especially on an asphalt tee.
Those are some vintage Sennheiser cans!
This makes me feel like that should be a lightbulb above her head. Maybe she's thinking "hey! i've got an idea! lets invent earbuds!"
This reminds me of The Madness of Miss Stereo
Only, I liked Miss Stereo more.
Does the shirt cover up any downstairs mixups?
Aaaahh, damn. I'm a definite Mahfood fan ... even got to meet him at Wondercon a couple years back ... but I think this design might be a little to feminine for me to get away with wearing.
I dig the color scheme, but her philtrum looks like a booger.
Mahfood? truck it sign me up. Definitely not a girly shirt. Anyone could be wearing this bad boy and I know I will when I finally get it in the mail.
I strongly recommend wearing this shirt when listening to Da Funk.
My first non-storybook cassette tape was UB40. Still one of my favorites.
Very cool shirt design, I love the sort of vintage comic feel. :D
Love the style and trying to remember/find where I'd seen it bought back happy SCUD memories.
but these go to 11.
damn. i own a ton of mock food's comics and a couple show sketches. awesome drawing but why are they all on ASPHALT?!?!?! im gonna have to sleep on this one too.
i spent the entire day sketching, which i havent done in maybe 6 or 7 years, and one of my favorite sketchers comes up on woot today.
Still waiting for my Knock Knock Shirt......Going on a month now.......
Graffiti writer turned comics pro? how can he not be one of my heroes?
Is that a "mix" tape??
That girl looks suspiciously like a young Steve Tyler.
Looks like anatomy shirt.
Not one of my favourite shirts, but I love the Mighty Boosh reference.

That is so you Ms. Bass!!! lols
I'm really not feeling this one... I feel like there's a lot better concepts that could be made into a shirt that just never seem to get a chance. I don't get it. Do people just have bad taste?
imsochady wrote:That is so you Ms. Bass!!! lols
I'm so 80's it's sad. Maybe that's why I love this shirt. If the girl had teased rocker hair and hot pink eye make-up...boom, I'd buy like 10 of these.
whats a cross between anime and elves, and on a Asphalt background?
this shirt!
I agree that the "philtrum" looks like a booger and would have much preferred that area to be as clear as the rest of the face; I like the rest so much and that just bothers me. However, the colors and artistic nature win out and I still love it. I had to get this one for the music and awesomeness of the headphones in general.
I saw the thumbnail and thought this was ozma. Disappointing.
I'm getting a Jet Grind Radio vibe, which given Jim's background kinda makes perfect sense.
Am I the only one that played the video in the background while voicing over today's writeup out loud?
That was awesome! Well done Woot! staff.
"Groove is in the Heart" is a freakin' great way to start a Monday!
Nifty looking art style and colorful looking design... which begs the question, why did it print on the ugly grey shirt color??? What should be a shirt that pops now looks like a design on a drab background - does not work.
He's not vicious or malicious, just DEE-lovely and DEE-licious.
I like the drab background. It is nicely gritty. In for one. It reminds me a little like some of the style of Heavy Metal.
Off to find the video.
acraigl wrote:Am I the only one that played the video in the background while voicing over today's writeup out loud?
Reading out loud? No. Subvocalizing to check the scansion? Yes.
A Jim Mahfood shirt is a great way to start a Monday morning. He is a phenomenal artist and a supremely nice guy, and I'm diggin' this shirt!
I'm torn by my love of hot girls in headphones (I still love my Madness of Miss Stereo shirt), but the hangy down part looks like it's the girl's lungs or something weird. Would have much preferred the head in the circle without anything above and below.
amerz697 wrote:I agree that the "philtrum" looks like a booger...
You don't have to put it in quotes - philtrum is indeed a word: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philtrum
For all the subtle and not so subtle cultural overtones this shirt may or may not have, it's still thoroughly boring, and when worn would never get anybody looking at it wondering what it is. On the other hand it reminds me of the shirts my wife always buys at the mall, so I guess it serves a purpose, even if that purpose is to be a woot shirt so pedestrian you feel like you bought it at the mall..
More with the interesting and fun, that's why I watch shirt.woot and not delias.com's inventory..
wow, someone bought three of these.
YEAH! bought one! love mahfoods work! picked up some original mahfood art at chicago comic con this past year.

text: So far I have fired 500 rounds of Remington Tornado, 500 rounds of Remington Golden High Velocity, and 500 rounds of Federal 40g High Velocity through my two Neos and they eat 'em up and spit 'em out. The first and third loads don't have very good reputations, but the Neos didn't seem to care at all. I'm impressed with how they just tick right along. Using the Federals my 9yr old little girl put 5 in a row though a bulls eye the size of a silver dollar at 7 yards. (YES, you're darn right I'm bragging!)

Preliminary findings from a groundbreaking new study of disabled older women show that the lives of some of these women are quite bleak: they live in isolation, challenged by enormous difficulty in performing everyday activities like walking or bathing. In sharp contrast, however, many more older women with functional problems are able to adapt, trying their best to stay out of nursing homes and to maintain a sense of independence. These findings are among the first to be reported from the Women's Health and Aging Study, one of the largest efforts to understand the causes and course of disability in older women.
According to the study, more than half of disabled older women, despite considerable physical limitations, venture beyond their neighborhoods for a variety of activities during the week, and about 60 percent report that they participate in some weekly exercise activity. Most continue to shop, walk up stairs, or prepare meals, but less frequently and often with some help. A surprising three-quarters of disabled older women say they are basically satisfied with their quality of life.
The study is being conducted by investigator Linda P. Fried, M.D., M.P.H., and colleagues at The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland, in collaboration with the National Institute on Aging (NIA). Started in 1991, the 7-year study is aimed at developing effective treatments and interventions for preventing or delaying disability. The initial findings, providing a snapshot of the lives of older women, appear in a new monograph published by the NIA's Epidemiology, Demography, and Biometry Program.
"This study is already challenging certain misconceptions about disabled older women," says Jack Guralnik, M.D., Ph.D., chief of NIA's Office of Epidemiology and Demography and project officer for the contract with Johns Hopkins. "In many women with moderate to severe disability, there appear to be great reserves and a view that life can be full and satisfying."
Overall, the initial findings highlight the "heterogeneity," or diversity, among the participants. Although the women are among the most disabled in the community, there are tremendous differences in abilities and in what disabled women are able to accomplish in a day, according to Guralnik and Fried.
The longitudinal nature of the study will allow researchers to understand what these and other baseline findings may mean for preventing and managing disability. "As the study proceeds," Guralnik says, "we will analyze diseases, functional problems, and attitudes to see what contributes to disability and what plays an important role in keeping the most devastating effects of disability at bay."
These efforts will be critical as older women make up an ever greater proportion of the elderly population. In 1995, women made up 59 percent of the population age 65 and older and 72 percent of the population age 85 and above. A higher proportion of older women are disabled than older men. "This, combined with women's longer life expectancy, leads to greater use of health care and long-term care services by older women. Reducing disability among older women will be a critical part of any efforts to contain health care costs for an aging population," says Guralnik.
The 1,002 Baltimore women participating in the study represent the one-third most disabled women age 65 and older living in the community. Women in Baltimore were evaluated for mobility, upper arm function, ability to conduct "instrumental" activities of daily living like shopping and preparing meals, and everyday activities of daily living such as bathing or dressing. Women with difficulty in two or more of these areas were classified as disabled and qualified for participation in the study.
Among women participating in the study, everyday tasks proved difficult. About 75 percent said they had trouble walking 2 or 3 blocks, 26 percent even found it hard to walk across a small room, 37 percent had problems using their fingers to grasp or handle small objects like coins, and about 12 percent said they had trouble turning a key in a lock. Eighty-five percent received at least some assistance from a family member, friend, or health professional.
The women had a myriad of physical problems. Medical tests given to the participants in their homes showed that 25 percent had reduced lung function, a third had major abnormalities on electrocardiograms, 24 percent had hip pain, and 20 percent had decreased blood flow to their legs. Nearly three-quarters of the women reported having some kind of arthritis, 20 percent had diabetes, and about 59 percent had high blood pressure.
Greater disability was found in women with less education and low incomes. Thirty-four percent of the participants reported incomes under $8,000 per year, while nearly 41 percent had less than a ninth grade education. About 25 percent of women in the study were married, 57 percent widowed, and the rest divorced, separated, or never married. Thirty percent of the participants were African American.
Guralnik and Fried noted with particular interest the attempts by disabled older women to preserve their energy and independence by doing things differently, less often, or adapting in some other way. In fact, Fried points out, many women with major physical difficulties just don't see themselves as disabled. For instance, although 48 percent of the participants indicated they had no trouble walking up 10 steps without resting, 37 percent of this group walked up stairs less often than before. In comparison, of the 39 percent who did report difficulty walking up steps, about 85 percent said they did it less often or differently. A small percentage -- about 12 percent -- had stopped using one or more rooms in their homes because of a health or physical problem, reducing the actual living space used by an average 30 percent to 40 percent.
"As long as they can get around, these women don't appear to view themselves as disabled. They are doing everything they can to stay in their homes and make do," Fried notes. "As we look at ways to reduce disability, we also hope to understand how people make successful adaptations to cope with the disabilities they do have."
The monograph evaluates baseline data in a number of areas. It includes analyses of health status, such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes, respiratory diseases, musculoskeletal disease, and neurological conditions. It also contains results from blood samples. In addition, data are presented on the general well-being of the women, including a look at mental health, emotional support, and use of health services and insurance, as well as a detailed look at their daily lives.
The NIA, part of the National Institutes of Health, leads the Federal effort supporting and conducting basic, clinical, and behavioral and social research on aging and the needs of older people and their families. The Women's Health and Aging Study is one of a number of projects nationwide, including research at the Claude D. Pepper Older American Independence Centers, to find ways to improve the functioning of older people and to promote independence and well-being.

Opening Statement
"We feel very good about the win, very good about some things that went on. We don't have a zone, so it's hard to practice against a zone when we don't have one ourselves. That was great for us tonight to get that practice. It was great to get 10 guys with double-figure minutes.
"We did try to do a lot of things with a lot of different lineups. Four freshmen, first time they were in there, so I think it was good for them. Gardner-Webb had an experienced team, and they made us look bad at times. I am disappointed in how we played, but I'm not disappointed in my team.
"I think it was a good night for us, and I think we learned a lot. Hopefully, we'll be able to do some things tomorrow morning in practice to help us get better, and we need to be better on Sunday. We talked about earlier this week, six games in 12 or 13 days.
"James Michael [McAdoo] 26 and 14, those are pretty big-time numbers. I'd like him to do it without having to take 20 shots. We've got to have the other guys be more active on the backboards and not just him. I've been saying, with Leslie [McDonald] and Reggie [Bullock] and P.J. [Hairston] that we're a good shooting team. One for 12 from the three-point line doesn't look like it, but Reggie was almost unselfish to a fault tonight. He's got to take a couple more of the shots and guys have to got be willing to screen for him to get him open too.
'All in all, I congratulate Gardner-Webb. They did some nice things and it was a great help for us, and hopefully they gained some things from it as well."
On what he would like to see from the new players
"Marcus [Paige] made some mistakes, but I thought he was in charge out there. I think he learned some things tonight. J.P. [Tokoto] didn't play as many minutes, but he is an active body. I thought Joel [James] and Bryce [Johnson] were so much better in the first half. I think all four of the guys gave us something and hopefully that will be something that we can go on. "
On whether or not it is concerning that Marcus Paige did not have assists
"We counted that he had several because two or three times there was a guy and that guy lays it up and gets fouled. Truthfully, that means the guard or whoever the passer is did his job. That really does not concern me. [On Marcus' four turnovers] That concerns me. Zero four, we don't like that, but he's a freshman, and he's going to be really good."
On whether Joel's play tonight will affect Sunday's starting lineup
"I don't know. We started him the second half, but I think he could do some good things. He's got to stay out of foul trouble. He made some silly little fouls. Three for three is pretty good. You can tie it but you can't beat it. Four fouls, you've got to make better decisions on that. I think he did some good things, we started him, like I said, in the second half. We're going to play all those guys."
On what more he wants from Reggie Bullock
"I can think of three situations completely where he's wide open. He's trying to be unselfish. Everybody else needs to try to be that way. The best shooter needs to try and step up and take some shots. He's doing what we asked him to do. He's taking it to an extent that it's a fault. I've said it before about good players, and I'm not really that concerned about Reggie. He'll be fine."
On how Dexter Strickland handled his first game back
"I thought he did some good things. We're still not as smooth as I want us to be, whoever is in the game. I get on Dexter a lot for dribbling so much, and one time at the end he's dribbling but nobody is doing anything to get open. That's not his fault. He does a nice job of attacking the basket, and I think he did that tonight. We've got to get him to get a couple of rebounds. Twenty-four minutes is about what I expected and hoped to get out of him. Really I don't want to push anybody, but especially Dexter, Leslie and Marcus."
On the expectations of the team
"Everyone is saying that we're the underdog. They don't think that we'll be as successful as we were last year because we lost so many guys. I think this was for us to set a statement; for us to go out there and punch them in the mouth first before they do that to us. I told everybody, 'Make sure you come out ready to play and be aggressive.
"I think we still need to do a better job. We still have some areas we need to go over and get better at in practice, and we have a lot of work to do but I think we have come a long way."
On the development of freshman players
"Brice (Johnson) is coming along very well. Marcus (Paige), as you can see, is doing very well. Joel (James), he still doesn't know how strong he is so once he figures that out he's going to be a problem. J.P. (Tokoto) is doing good for us. I think everybody is gelling together. Like I said, we still have a lot of work to do."
On his performance in the game
"Obviously I'm a little disappointed in how I turned the ball over, but that's a team thing also. I need to work on that a little bit. I had my moments too; I made some good passes, guys that got fouled, or just didn't finish the layup. I think I can build off this. It was a decent game. I got the first game out of the way and first game jitters out of the way. I think I did alright but there's definitely a lot of room for improvement."
On Coach Williams giving him confidence
"I think he (Coach Williams) has given me a lot of confidence and the guys are starting to have a little confidence in me. That's good for me, it helps me just focus on my game and not worry about a lot of other things. We also have guys like Luke Davis and Dexter (Strickland) who can play the 1. It's not completely on me to do everything which is also helpful that we have a solid backcourt."
On the "jitters" of his first game
"After the first few trips up and down, you make a good pass or a good defensive play, or you start to break a sweat, they (jitters) start to go away."
Gardner-Webb Head Coach Chris Holtmann
Opening Statement
"I thought they [North Carolina] were terrific with their activity on the glass. That was obviously a point of emphasis coming in for us. I think they are such a well coached team, I know they are young but they are so well coached in what they do. Our zone slowed them down just a little bit, but I give them credit. I thought they were really disciplined in their attack. They hurt us where you can get hurt in the zone, and that was on the offensive glass."
On what his team can gain from this
"I think playing against a team with this size and length helps you more than anything. Obviously the environment is terrific and I think as Coach Williams's teams always have, they will continue to improve as the season progresses. I think our guys can take some confidence in the fact that they stayed with it. We talked to them about hitting singles in the second half. We want to hit singles and we want to win the four-minute battles that you have in the second half. We want to continue to chip away at it. I think we had good discipline, better shot discipline in the second half, we just played a little bit better in the second half and stayed with it. I'm proud of our guys for that but we certainly have a lot to clean up in terms of rebounding the ball better and not turning the ball over if we're going to be a better team."
On Carolina's Luke Davis, who transferred from Gardner-Webb
"Great kid. Great family. He's one of those kids that's just the salt of the Earth."

In-Game Blog/Box Score
AMHERST, Mass. - The No. 18 Penn State men's lacrosse team scored the final three goals in a 7-5 win over No. 19 Massachusetts at Garber Field in the teams' Colonial Athletic Association opener. Jack Forster (Jenkintown, Pa.) scored four goals and Kyle VanThof (Penfield, N.Y.) netted the game-winner to propel the Nittany Lions to victory.
A nip and tuck game that saw five ties and six lead changes had Penn State (3-3, 1-0 CAA) come out on top. UMass (3-4, 0-1 CAA) took a 5-4 lead late in the third quarter, but Forster tied the game before the quarter's end. VanThof tallied a left-winged shot from Gavin Ahern (Rockville Centre, N.Y.) with the timer on mid-way through the fourth period. Forster added insurance a few minutes later, again with the timer on, sealing the victory.
Junior Austin Kaut (Morton, Pa.), who saved 25 shots in his freshman appearance in Amherst, an 8-7 win in 2011, had a fantastic game. Kaut's 16 saves and five goals against was a season best. Kaut moved into eighth on the Penn State career saves list and now has 432 total stops.
Forster put Penn State up early on an unassisted goal just 1:20 into the contest. UMass's Connor Mooney knotted the game with 6:37 remaining in the first period, his first of three goals on the day. Forster answered back 1:22 later with another unassisted tally. UM's Kyle Smith scored on a Will Manny helper with 2:14 remaining in the first as the game was tied after one period of play. Manny, the reigning CAA Player of the Year and USILA All-American, made his return from a thumb injury suffered in the first game of the season.
The second period saw Penn State take its third one-goal lead on a Kyle Zittel rip from the right wing with 9:23 to go ni the second. Matt Whippen scored for UMass on another helper from Manny with 5:15 left and the game would be tied entering halftime.
In the third, Mooney put the Minutemen up 4-3 just 3:29 into the period. Nick Dolik (Bloomfield Hills, Mich.) tallied his first goal of the season in front of the net on a pretty feed from Tom LaCrosse (Canandaigua, N.Y.) with 7:08 to go, tying the game, 4-4. Mooney capped his hat trick with a man-up goal from Smith for Massachusetts' final lead of the game, 5-4 with 5:28 to go in the third.
Forster tied the game with 3:12 left in the third on a pretty roll from the left wing. Forster was knocked down and scored from his knees before he entered the crease and beat UMass goalie Zach Oliveri (14 saves).
The fourth period belonged to Penn State with key scoring in crucial situations. The game was tied entering the final six minutes and the officials signaled a stall warning on the Nittany Lions. Ahern received a pass on the right wing, swung it left for VanThof who rifled it by Oliveri for a 6-5 lead. The tally was VanThof's third and Ahern's first point of the 2013 campaign.
Another timer-on situation was encountered by the Nittany Lion, this time it was a one-man effort by Forster to slip one in the net for the game's first two-goal advantage. Forster's tally gave him the point lead for Penn State this season with 22. Freshman TJ Sanders (Orillia, Ont.) was held scoreless for the first time in his young career and trails Forster by one point. Forster, the sixth-year senior out of Jenkintown, sit 14 goals behind Bill Hess (1956-58) for 11th on PSU's all-time list. Additionally, Forster is 18 points behind Tom Lion (1981-84) for 11th on the career points list.
The Minutemen held a 39-32 advantage in shots, including a 26-15 margin in the second and third quarters combined. UMass won the ground ball war (20-17) and faceoffs (10-6). PSU committed just seven turnovers, while Massachusetts had 10 turnovers. PSU was 0-for-3 on the man-up and UMass went 1-for-2.
Steven Bogert (Carlsbad, Calif.) led the Nittany Lions with four ground balls, while JP Burnside (Garden City, N.Y.) and Michael Richards (Skaneateles, N.Y.) each collected three ground balls.
Penn State now trails 10-5 in the all-time series with Massachusetts and has won the past two meetings at Garber Field. In 15 total meetings, 12 games have been decided by three goals or less.
The Nittany Lions have a quick turnaround as PSU caps a three-game road swing at Binghamton (3-3) on Tuesday. The opening faceoff is slated for 4 p.m. with the Bearcats, who defeated Manhattan 13-6 on Saturday in Vestal, N.Y.

Discussion in 'Great Skate Debate' started by Daba, Apr 22, 2011.
According to Artur Werner now her coach is Morozov.
Who's Nikolai Morozov?
She used to skate with him I think and so has she returned?
What happened with Robyn Wagner?
I swear Gedevanishvili is trying her best to out-do Bobek's record.
Good luck to Elene with her new coach!
I believe Nikolai was Elene's coreographer.
ugh. How can one girl have such bad taste in coaches?
Other than Miki and now possibly Elene does M coach any other senior ladies?
I think the coaching change will be good for Elene.
He was coaching Valentina Marchei.
Valentina Marchei is also with Morozov.
^^Thank you!
I love Elene but why is she hopping from one coach I despise to the next? I thought the day she left Robin Wagner would be a happy one for me but now I am...ugh...
Seriously, Morosov takes 50% of my favourite skaters and makes me a very unhappy Hedwig.
Isn't Morosov based in Moscow (even though he's been hopping around since last summer's fires)? If that's true, wasn't Gedevanishvilli deported from Moscow several years ago, which is what led her to end up with Wagner to begin with? So everything's OK for her to return?
AFAIK, Georgia had diplomatic tensions against Russia at the time Elene G's mother got deported. I believe Russia-Georgia relations have been restored since U.S. leaning Sakhashivilli administration was thrown out of Georgia a couple of years ago.
Why Morozov is so hated here?
cause he's a total douchebag
I hope this means Elene can ditch the Wagner-esque hair now too.
Heh, I was going to say it looks like she's stuck being a blonde for a little while longer.
Poor Elene. It sounds like the costumes won't be getting any better.
IIRC, and as implied by another poster upthread, Gedevanishvili was not deported, but her mother was (which is why Elene Gedevanishvili left the country).
Mikheil Saakashvili is still the President of Georgia. http://www.president.gov.ge/index.php?sec_id=209&lang_id=ENG
The relations between Russia and Georgia are still bad, and Russia recognizes breakaway regions in Georgia as independent.
I think that it might be a very good news if Morozov can help Elene to get more consistent with her jumps. Of course, hair and costumes are important but they will not win competitions. Morozov seems to be able ho help many skaters to improve jumps and that's what she needs most right now in my opinion. So I'd say it is a good decision.
Really? I thought it was his technical assistants who form part of his coaching team that helped restore Miki's consistency in her jumps back in 2006-2007. Still, if he has a strong technical team around him then Elene should benefit and anyone is better than Wagner IMO.
FYI, Wagner used to have an FSU account back in the early 2000s and posted with her public name displayed... I seriously hope she hasn't read anything here since. Am I the ONLY person on here who thinks the Robin hate is a bit much?
Why do people hate Robin?
I think it's a bad idea for any skater - a female skater especially - to go to any coach whose girlfriend is someone he's coaching. It's complicated enough for a coach to be dating one of this skaters, but IME any skater who's not the girlfriend is not going to be getting the best attention and advice.
I agree with you on this in general but I think Miki is taking next season off, so if it's true at least next season it shouldn't be a problem.
I agree with this. She is capable of huge 3lz and 3t-3t-2t so if she can add a 3lo or 3f to her arsenal and become more consistent with the jumps she has, she could do a lot better, constantly be a threat for the Euros podium.
Sometimes, in rare cases, even going to Morozov doesn't sound that bad.
I remember reading an interview saying that Wagner quit coaching.
wasn't there talk miki is dating javier now? so morozov has an opening

Hello everybody! Since I had so much success with my knees and jet pack, I decided to remake my armour and paint it in the correct :fettesb ESB scheme:fettesb . I went over to my CO's house this evening and we started burning some new armour, here are some pics. Once again, please forgive the crappy picture... a webcam is all I have now for usage of picture taking. These are all cut in 1/8" white sintra, and once again, all made using the wizardofflight templates.
If you would like laser cutting done, you might want to check locally, I "could" have armour made for others, but remember this is not my laser I'm using. If you check locally and supply your own material, expect to pay around $2.50 a minute to use a laser, since I know the owner of a laser and he is a 501st member, I only needed to supply material. I've also heard of other members attempting to get armour laser cut, but were charged a blasphemous price. $2.50 is the basic max of what is normally charged.
I added "the dent" to the knee.

Phoenix Opens Auburn Tournament with Comeback Win Over Troy
By: Ryan Hartwig (@RyanHartwig)
AUBURN, Ala. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – Led by senior Leah Van Zeeland's (Kaukauna, Wis.) career-high 20 kills, the Green Bay volleyball team (2-2) opened the Auburn Active Ankle Challenge on Thursday afternoon with a come-from-behind 3-1 victory over Troy (2-3) at the Student Activities Center.
The Phoenix started slow, dropping the first set to the Trojans 25-20, but was able to rally for 31-29, 25-23 and 25-19 victories in the next three games to win its second consecutive match.
"I have to tip my hat to Troy," Phoenix head coach Michaela Franklin said following the win. "They came out with an energy level that I don't think we were ready for and really got after us early. I was proud of the way we were able to dig deep when we were pressed, turn the corner and come out on top in the end."
Van Zeeland also tallied 15 digs and four blocks in the match, notching her second straight double-double. Sixteen of Van Zeeland's 20 kills came in the final three sets.
After falling in the opener, Green Bay was able to shift the momentum by winning the exciting second set 31-29 – a set in which the Phoenix fought off four set-point chances by the Trojans.
The Phoenix trailed 21-17 late, but kills by Van Zeeland and classmate Monica Anderson (Cottage Grove, Wis.) helped even the score at 21 all. A double-block by Van Zeeland and sophomore Mikaela Gunderson (Casco, Wis.) gave the Phoenix its first set-point chance at 24-23, but Troy rebounded and grabbed a 26-25 advantage.
The Trojans had three more chances to go up 2-0 (27-26, 28-27 and 29-28), but the resilient Phoenix responded each time and scored the final three points – which included a kill and a block by Van Zeeland – to even the match at 1-1.
Green Bay trailed 15-10 midway through the third set, but a 10-1 run that included three kills by Anderson put the Phoenix ahead 20-16. The Trojans clawed their way back to tie the score at 23-23, but a Van Zeeland kill followed by a Troy miscue gave the Phoenix the 25-23 win and the 2-1 lead.
Green Bay controlled the fourth set, jumping out to a 10-5 lead, extending it to 20-12 and eventually winning 25-19. Anderson and Van Zeeland were dominant in the match-clinching win, as Anderson had seven of her season-high 13 kills in the set and Van Zeeland had five kills on five swings.
Gunderson joined her two senior teammates in double-figures with a career-high 14 kills, while sophomore Taylor Kasal (Westmont, Ill.) had a near double-double with nine kills and 13 digs. Sophomore setter Emily Riese (Fond du Lac, Wis.) had a strong contest with a season and match-high 55 assists.
Green Bay had five players with at least 10 digs and recorded its highest hitting percentage of the young season, out-hitting Troy .246 to .216.
The Phoenix is back in action tonight at the Auburn Active Ankle Challenge at 7 p.m. against the host Auburn Tigers (4-0). Live stats and pay-per-view live video are available for the match.

Raspberry Plum Jam RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
5 1
The thing I like best about this jam is the way the plums stretch the flavor of the raspberries. I make it when plums are in season, and we enjoy it all winter long on toast or homemade bread. For a few years, my husband and I had a small acreage with chickens, rabbits and sheep. Although we now live in town, our hearts still belong in the country! We have six children—three of them grown, two teenagers plus a girl who's 10—and two grandchildren.
Recommended: Our Favorite Summer Fruit Recipes
- 4-1/2 cups chopped or coarsely ground peeled pitted fresh plums (2-1/2 pounds)
- 2 packages (10 ounces each) frozen sweetened raspberries
- 10 cups sugar
- 1/2 cup bottled lemon juice
- 2 pouches (3 ounces each) liquid fruit pectin
- In a Dutch oven, combine the plums, raspberries, sugar and lemon juice. Bring to a full rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Stir in pectin. Continue to boil 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat; skim off foam. Ladle hot mixture into six hot pint jars, leaving 1/4-in. headspace. Remove air bubbles and adjust headspace, if necessary, by adding hot mixture. Wipe rims. Center lids on jars; screw on bands until fingertip tight.
- Place jars into canner with simmering water, ensuring that they are completely covered with water. Bring to a boil; process for 10 minutes. Remove jars and cool. Yield: 6 pints.
Editor's Note: The processing time listed is for altitudes of 1,000 feet or less. Add 1 minute to the processing time for each 1,000 feet of additional altitude.

i played the chinese version its a AWESOME GAME
I'm so hyped for this game. Please don't make us wait forever PWE.
Heard about this when I got home from work earlier. Definitely excited for it, I played the shit out of the chinese server but quit because of the lag. Definitely much much more superior to anything Age of Booboo ever was.
Since i didn't play the chinese version , i saw some gameplay videos and didn't give any good reasons to play it . But it has ragdolls ....
So, is this a sandpark like Wushu or a themepark version of it?
Themepark, you follow a storyline like in the novels/comics or wahtever the game is based off of.
Most of the time, the player will follow the main quest line to progress in the game. The main quests are the most efficient way for players to level. There are also some side quests that supplements the stroy a little bit.
At higher levels, players can be engaged in more player interactivities, such as Guild, Brotherhood, or PvP arena.
Additionally, there is a unique game process called "Path of a Swordsman", which consists of a series of levels. These levels are mainly PvE instances, with some focusing on combat, some focusing on action-adventure, some focusing on storytelling, and the rest on puzzle-solving. This feature adds to the ordinary open-world quest line flow.
Thanks, another game I can delete from my to play list.
You're going to have to explain to me why this game is worth time. As everything I've seen and read about it makes it seem like more generic shit that will be forgotten about a week after open beta.
It pretty much just looks like a really crappy themepark version of Age of Wushu with less movement and with half the combat depth. Also, the world seems stupidly small.
Thanks for the heads.
Signed up
Any real gameplay combat video ?
I'll be honest: It doesn't look overly impressive to me and it doesn't seem that ambitious, but when it reaches the west I'll at least give it a try.
So a themepark version of Age of Wushu? Why by the gods would I want to play this?
This game is generic with awesome combat and skills I think.... only briefly played the original version?
lets make a guild on chinese until they launch Ob here
I'm a bit scared since this is going to perfect world, they're known for completely abandoning their older games when a new one comes
Heres a video
Showing the schools ( classes) of the game.. although i dont know the exact name of them since they appear in japanese ( i think..)
But im probably rolling for the class that appears at 1:25 mins of the video.. i kinda liked the assassin/teleportation ( ultra fast speed) action.
If someone knows where is the registration for the beta.. please link it.. or send it to me... cuz i really wanna try this game ^^

Family Chartmasters is a company that is USA based, but I am sure they would be happy to post their produces to the UK. They have a vast array of family history charts to chose from, blank ones that you can fill in yourself or you can send them a GEDCOM file which they will then transform into a beautiful chart to display your hard work !
Lots of options to explore on the site so worth looking at. I'll do a search for UK based chart printers and report back later.

I figure I've been around a while, yet never have posted any progress pictures.
So I've been working on my gauntlets and my bucket as I've acquired more parts. I thought I would show some of the gauntlet pictures. I've made a lot of personal modifications to these.
They are an older FP model. I'm a big guy, so I've had to "size" them for me. I was able to add a little more to the size (so it fit nice around my arms). I did it and had to remove a little of the wonderful FP accuracy. I left it so it can be removed (cut down) to the original size later if ever needed.
I decided to double hinge them after using velcro the first time around. I ended up liking the double hinge look.
I also decided to make all the greeble parts/details removable. Part of that decision was to ease the paint process (after working on my bucket for a while... I'm pretty much done masking if at all possible :) ). I also liked the idea of a little freedom if parts needed to be upgraded and or changed out later on.
If people are interested, I can show some of the removable greeble details later (paint is currently drying). The one I like the most are the darts... I made them into one removable piece that will screw onto the gauntlet, but whatever
So here I am...
Test fitting parts and finishing up sizing/details.
I then finished up sanding, smoothing, sanding, details, etc... and finally added primer. Here you can really start to see all the "holes" for the details...

The town of Rethymno is located in the northern part of Crete. Unlike other places in Crete, this town is not known as a popular beach destination. Though there are beaches that attract a small number of tourists during the weekend, Rethymno is more well-known for its splendid architecture. Surrounding a large part of the town is the Fortezza or Fortress, which was built by the inhabitants of Rethymno during the 16th century. In this fortress, you will find a small Archaeological Museum with artifacts from the Neolithic and early Christian periods. Inside the town, you will find the Venetian Loggia, an imposing structure that features wide arches that stretch to the street corners. You should visit Rethymno every end of February as the town celebrates the Rethymno Carnival during their "Apokries".Many hotels in Rethymno are located very close to these historical sites. You can also find Rethymno hotels around the beach area. If you are looking for Rethymno cheap hotels, you can easily find a list of them at the EasyToBook.com travel site. This website also offers travel packages that include guided tours and discount hotels. Rethymno has the right accommodation for you whether you are traveling with your family, friends or alone.

I have a Glock 17 Gen3, this one was my first pistol ever actually. Got it for around $526.00, that would be a good price if you find one for that.
Good choice on a gun, there's no gun that has the amount of firepower capacity and reliability like a G17.

Hello. I am considering doing a celta course in kiev. I am currently doing an online TEFL course, just to brush up my English I'm just wondering if it is worth my while/money to do a 4 week celta course. I know it will greatly improve my chances of getting a job but I have no degree. Does this matter?? I mean if I go for a job with a CELTA behind me but no degree how will the school look at this??
Many thanks for your time

Director Wendy Jo Cohen serves up this irreverent historical mockumentary centering on a defining Civil War battle that's been omitted from American history books. Upon learning of a diabolical plot to destroy America, a patriotic band of misfits unite to save the fledgling nation. As a series of well-schooled historians bring this long-suppressed story to light, we learn just how the fate of the entire free world hinged on the actions of this brave yet quirky troop. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

It's like an over-protective mother, I tell ya!

Make sure the privacy tab is selected and put a check in the box next to Never allow websites to request your physical location. Click OK.
And there you have it. Now IE9 won't get all invasive and ask you where you are at all hours of the day.

Max Starks just sent me a text telling me he is going to the Chargers.
Max Starks just added via text to me that he is going to San Diego on a , "one year deal." #Chargers
Website @PFF rated new #Chargers LT Max Starks the No. 71 OT of 80 qualifiers in 2012. 64th in pass pro, 77th in run block. 16-game starter.

1) Surprisingly good in pass pro against "big guys" - he can and has erased bigger guys like Terrell Suggs and Jared Allen from the game
2) Has issues with the flexible, explosive pass rushers like Clay Matthews and Aldon Smith
3) Is not a movement run blocker, he's a wall-off blocker
4) Rarely makes mental errors, very smart player
5) Keep him motivated and he is at his best. He was the Steelers' most consistent OL the last 2 seasons
Bottom line - Philip Rivers should be quite happy about this move. Max isn't an All Pro and will never deserve to be, but he is a very steady presence at LT and probably the best you've had (outside of the short stint when headcase gave a crap about football) since McNeil was healthy
This is a pretty good signing for you, especially since it's a 1-year contract. Max has worked hard on his conditioning the last few years and last season was the best I've seen him. Steelers fans are unhappy about this move for the most part because we're rather wary of who we have (Gilbert and Adams) being unproven, and Max has proven himself time and again to be a steady guy at LT.

Maybe I'm being optimistic too early but this new G.M. Tom Telesco is night and day compared to A.J. Smith. Don't get me wrong AJ made some great draft picks early on with the Chargers but eventually he let his pride get in the way on some situations that completely tore the team up and the reason for the bad results the past 3 seasons. Tom had little to work with this off-season as far as salary cap but he made some good draft choices on paper and free agent pickups to fill in some holes that is desperately needed on this team. Imagine when he clears cap space for the future and has more to work with. I'm stoked on getting Matt Starks and Dwight Freeney. Who knows if they both can pan out but they're certainly a upgrade to whoever was going to start in their positions originally.

Way too early to say anything other then AJ wasn't the guy that would make us a champion. Telesco has done well so far on paper but lets be real, it wasn't like we were really going to get worse.
I want to see it on the field. We'll see what ye club mentality is the first time we get behind. Is this a team that folds or will Telesco and McCoy install a sense of pride and fighting spirit. On paper we are the underdogs going into this season. I want to see how scrappy we are. It will be interesting to watch.

I admit i'm a bit more optimistic for the coming season than I was before. I mean i'm pretty certain the Chargers aren't going to win the AFCW unless Manning's body falls apart on him or something, but at least they're trying to be competitve. Even if Starks is just A Guy it's still better than Gutless Gaither and Harris*.

Rivers should feel a lot more comfortable now that Fluker and Starks will line up at the tackle spots. Good move by you guys Imo. Wish Oak would've made an attempt at him...
I hate to admit but I think you guys could field a really good o line. And you've got a lot of depth with a lot of experience. I don't think youre far off Denver for best line in the division...

I'm a little intrigued by our two LT signings. I think both can be very good options here. I know the past few years they have looked pedestrian at best but hear me out. Both of these guys were blocking for arguably the two hardest QB's to block for. Big Ben and Vick never sat in the pocket where their Tackles would know where they were so blocking for those guys is alot harder than for your prototypical pocket passer. I think Starks and even Dunlap will be able to play the position and look way better than the last few years. Not to mention that they have IMO some very good offensive coaches. Starks is getting old and may only have 1-2 good years left but I think that thats what the Chargers are planning for. Dunlap is a wild card, but I'd like to see him block when he knows where his QB is at.
gotta win the lottery so I can move back to San Diego

They had not lost three home games to start a season since 1938.
Ryan Miller was great when he had to be, making 40 saves.

What are the pros? The Butterflies!
What are the cons? no dislikes
This milkweed provides food and shelter to monarch and queen butterflies.
A plant grouping of milkweed, nasturtium, and calendula is just wonderful in the garden. The calendula and nasturtium hide the ankles of the milkweed which isn't its best feature!
Our milkweeds are covered with butterfly caterpillars munching away as butterflies fluttering around the garden. While the another taller milkweed became the place to be for the metamorphosis, this shorter curassavica was munched and munched.
Beware that this plant readily self-sows so plan to collect seed, don't allow it to set seed, or simply transplant the volunteers. I found that the caterpillars did a great job of finding and eating most of the seedlings nearly to the ground!
A little pruning to keep the plant in bounds along with a bit of water is all it needs here in San Diego.
