Green Bay Hosts Valpo for Senior Day, Important Finale
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - On Saturday afternoon at 2 p.m., the Green Bay men's basketball team will host Senior Day at the Resch Center, honoring the team's lone senior, Brennan Cougill (Sioux City, Iowa). The first 1,000 fans in attendance for the contest will receive a bobblehead of Cougill, who will be honored in a pregame ceremony. The Phoenix (16-13, 10-5 HL) will host Valparaiso (23-7, 12-3 HL) at 2 p.m. in a nationally televised contest on ESPNU.
Tickets for the game start at just $7 for youth fans and $8 for adults. After the game, the team will be on the court to sign autographs and shoot Free Throws with the Phoenix.
When the Horizon League tabbed Green Bay and Valparaiso to play in the regular season finale for both teams, the expectation was that the matchup would not only include two of the league's best teams but would also mean something.
Saturday's game fits the bill. Valparaiso, who clinched a share of the league title on Tuesday night, is aiming to win the title outright. Green Bay, winners of four-straight league games, looks to close its home slate at 12-2 on the year and keep the valuable No. 3 seed in next week's Horizon League Championship.
The Phoenix positioned itself for the third seed with a 78-61 win over Milwaukee on Tuesday night, using a 15-1 second-half run to put the Panthers away. Junior Alec Brown (Winona, Minn.) put his entire arsenal on display, draining four three-pointers as part of a career-high 28 point night. Four Preseason All-Horizon League selections will be on the court on Saturday, with Green Bay's Brown and Keifer Sykes (Chicago, Ill.) and Valparaiso's Ryan Broekhoff and Kevin Van Wijk.
FOLLOW THE PHOENIX: Fans unable to make it to the Resch Center on Saturday afternoon will be able to watch the nationally televised game on ESPNU. Jim Barbar will be on the call as the play-by-play announcer while Bob Valvano will be the analyst.
The contest against the Crusaders will also be carried on WDUZ The Fan 1400 AM and online at thefan1075.com. The play-by-play voice of the Phoenix Matt Menzl will be on the call alongside Cordero Barkley. Live stats will be available on GreenBayPhoenix.com. You can also stay up-to-date by following @GBPhoenixMBB and @GBGavin on Twitter.
1. INSIDE THE SERIES: Green Bay leads the all-time series with Valparaiso 29-17, including a 16-4 mark in Titletown. The Phoenix has won each of the past two seasons at the Resch Center against the Crusaders. In the first meeting of this year, it was a one-possession game with just two minutes to play before the Crusaders won 73-61. Brown had 18 points to lead the Phoenix.
2. COOOOOOGS: Green Bay is honoring its lone senior before today's game, Brennan Cougill. The Sioux City, Iowa native transferred to Green Bay before the 2011-12 season after one-year stops at Iowa and Kirkwood Community College. In 55 career games in a Phoenix uniform, Cougill has totaled 515 points, 350 rebounds, 102 assists and 41 blocks. This season, Cougill is averaging 9.6 points and 5.6 rebounds.
3. HOME SWEET HOME: The Phoenix is 11-2 at the Resch Center in 2012-13, including 6-1 in Horizon League play. In the past three seasons under head coach Brian Wardle, Green Bay has a 33-8 record in 41 home games. Sykes is averaging 16.8 points and 5.2 assists per game in 13 home games this season, going 79-of-99 from the line. Green Bay is allowing just 56.4 points per game and holding opponents to just 36.8 percent shooting. Led by Sykes, the Phoenix has made 123 more free throws at home than its opponents (251-128).
• BROWN VS. THE CRUSADERS: In five career games against Valparaiso, Brown has been consistently tremendous. The 7-foot-1 Brown has scored at least 15 points in each game and is averaging 18.4 points and 8.6 rebounds per contest. He is 32-of-64 (50 percent) from the field and 27-of-29 from the foul line in the games. In the first meeting this season, Brown had 18 points and six rebounds.
• SHINING STARS: In Green Bay's current four-game winning streak, its All-Horizon League candidates have shined. In wins over Detroit, Cleveland State, Youngstown State and Milwaukee, sophomore Keifer Sykes (Chicago, Ill.) has averaged 20.3 points while Brown has chipped in 17.8 points. Sykes is fourth in the conference in scoring (15.4) overall while in league play, Brown ranks fifth (15.7).
• COMEBACK TIME: Green Bay has shown the ability to come back and handle adversity throughout the season. Most recently, the Phoenix has overcome a second-half deficit in five of its past six victories. The team has won its last five games following a loss, and ended a season-long four-game losing streak by defeating Marquette 49-47 on Dec. 19.
• SECOND-HALF SYKES: Sykes, one of just two Horizon League players to be named Player of the Week at least three times this season, has excelled in the clutch. In four-straight Horizon League wins over Detroit, Cleveland State, YSU and Milwaukee, he has scored 62 of his 81 points in the second half, averaging 15.5 second half points. For the season, Sykes averages 9.2 points per game after halftime.
• BROWN'S BLOCK PARTY: Brown has blocked 42 shots in Horizon League play to become the fourth player in league history with more than 200 career rejections. The 7-foot-1 Brown is third in Horizon League history in blocks with 211, behind only YSU's Damian Eargle (293) and Dan Godfread (226) from Evansville. Brown's 55 blocks this season are the third-most all-time, behind only his totals as a sophomore (89) and a freshman (67). Brown is one of only three players in Horizon League history with at least 1,000 points, 500 rebounds and 200 career blocks.
• REJECTIONS REGISTERED: With Brown (55), freshman Jordan Fouse (42), sophomore Greg Mays (17) and Cougill (15) all in double figures in blocks, the Phoenix has now swatted 142 shots on the season, tying the single-season school record. The past three seasons are the top-three single-season totals in program history, with 119 in 2010-11 and 142 the past two seasons. In league play, Green Bay has 89 blocks, just five shy of the conference record of 94 set by the Phoenix last season.

The classic vampire story by Bram Stoker revolves around a struggle between good and evil, tradition and modernity, and lust versus chastity. The author didn't invent vampires, but his novel has so captured the public's imagination that he is rightly considered their popularizer. Listen and you will meet not only the Count himself, but heroes Jonathan Harker and Abraham Van Helsing, plus an array of madmen, psychiatrists, and fair maidens who cross paths with the fanged menace.

"good story, but get the multicast version"
I suppose the narrator was acceptable, but I found him boring to listen to. I switched to the multi cast version and loved that one.
A few gaffs in the performance, such as changes to character voices during the reading.
At twelve and a half hours. Damron maintained an engaging narrative without lulls or periods of simply droning on.
"If 'tis a sin, I don't give a Fiddler's fart!" -Frank McCourt.
Dracular is one of my favorite classics. I enjoy the story, but this version is not for me.
Overall the story was okay (as far as I could bare)
Everything was going great, I was enjoying the story and the different characters, until I heard the VAN HELSING character. It was so irretating ( So LOUD and ANNOYING!!!). Eventually I eneded up with a headache and couldn't bare it anymore. He ruin the whole story with his damn never ending monologues. Ugh!
Also, this man's voice imitating a woman's voice sounds like a tranny. NO!
Not at all.
Save yourself a headache.
"Van Helsing......."
We all know the story, Bram Stokers classic, this audiobook is advertised as (dramatized) in brackets. This appears to mean somebody has bought a dozen or so sound effects from Ebay, wolf howling, dog barking, door creaking etc which they use at the beginning of the audiobook, then they got bored or forgot to push the buttons. It's a great story, but for me the voice of Van Helsing was very annoying, I understood he was a Dutch doctor, but he sounds like the Swedish Chef from the Muppets on acid, and makes just about as much sense, but see what you think.

NEWARK, Del. -- Another big Colonial Athletic Association showdown, another thrilling comeback victory for the University of Delaware men's lacrosse squad.
For the second straight week, the Blue Hens fell behind early, chipped away at the deficit, and came up with a home conference victory in the end as Delaware downed rival Towson 8-7 Saturday afternoon at chilly Delaware Stadium.
Delaware (6-3, 2-0 CAA), coming off a 7-6 upset win over then No. 4 Hofstra last week, took its only lead of the day on junior attackman Eric Smith's goal with 4:29 left to play and the Blue Hens held on the rest of the way to pick up their second straight victory.
Towson (2-5, 0-1 CAA), which was coming off a 9-8 win over then No. 5 Stony Brook last Saturday, stormed out to a 5-0 lead in the first 11 minutes of the game but were limited to just a single goal in the second and fourth quarters the rest of the afternoon.
The game was a rematch of last year's CAA championship game won by Delaware 12-9 at Towson. Another page was added to this hard-fought rivalry as each of the last eight games have been decided by three goals or less and 17 of the last 20 winning margins have been by four goals or fewer.
Smith and Sean Finegan each finished with two goals to lead the Blue Hens while last week's hero, Grant Kaleikau, added a goal and two assists and goalkeeper Noah Fossner turned back 10 shots. Kevin Kaminski tied the game up at 7-7 with his 50th career goal early in the final stanza to spark the Hens, who won at home for the 10th time in the last 11 games dating back to last season.
Smith, Delaware's leading scorer with 13 goals and the only member of the team who has scored a point in every game this season, netted his second game-winner of the season. He also tallied the game-clincher in overtime in a 12-11 triumph over Bellarmine back on Feb. 27. Four of Delaware's six wins this season have been by a single goal.
Tim Stratton and Matt Hughes each had two goals and an assist on the day, Pat Britton scored twice, and Carl Iacona scored once and dished out an assist to pace the Towson attack. Goalkeeper Travis Love recorded nine saves.
"When Delaware and Towson get together you expect a dogfight and we had one today," said Delaware head coach Bob Shillinglaw, who picked up career win No. 294 and moved to within six victories of reaching the 300-win milestone accomplished by only four coaches in NCAA?Division I? history. "It's great to come away with a victory over a real quality conference opponent. I was so proud of the way our guys hung in there when we got behind. We just wanted to see if we could weather it, chip away at the lead, and just concentrate on the next play. I love our guys. They deserve a lot of credit for the way they responded."
Towson came out red-hot, scoring 14 seconds after the opening faceoff and going up 3-0 on a score by Hughes and two from Britton before the Blue Hens even put their first shot on goal with 6:48 left in the opening stanza. Consecutive goals by Stratton over a span of 44 seconds pushed the Tiger lead to 5-0 with 4:06 remaining.
But Delaware persevered and finally got on the board when Elsmo scored on a nice move in front of the net with 2:50 left to play. A flurry of goals got the Hens back into the game as Finegan scored 31 seconds later and Kaleikau followed by netting a goal with 29 seconds remaining and feeding Smith for another score at the seven-second mark to cut the margin to 5-4.
Hughes scored his second goal of the game for Towson just 35 seconds into the second quarter to push the lead back to two before the Hens tied things up at the half with Kaleikau feeding Finegan with 10:04 remaining and John Mills tallying with 7:31 left before the break.
A wild first half was followed by a calm third quarter as neither team was able to get on the board for the entire 15 minutes despite seven shots by each team.
The scoring resumed early in the final stanza as Iacona scored an unassisted goal for Towson just 2:39 into the period, but that would be the end of the offense for the Tigers.
Delaware tied things up at 7-7 with 11:11 left to play when?Kaminski, who ended a two-game scoring drought, rifled a shot past Love for his 50th career tally. The Hens followed with the eventual game-winner at the 4:29 mark when Taylor Burns picked up a groundball in his own territory, raced down the middle of the field, and fed Smith on the right side. Smith then blazed the game-winner past Love from 15 yards out.
The Tigers had the chance to tie things up and send the game into overtime in the final minute but couldn't connect as a clear shot by Britton with 21 seconds left went wide and a tough angle attempt by Iacona with four seconds remaining was well off the mark.
"This feels great," said Kaminski of the win. "Any time you can get a win in conference play it means a lot. After Towson went up in the first quarter, we knew our defense would make some stops and we just had to get some goals. Thankfully we got hot late in the quarter and after that we locked them down."
Delaware will return to action next Saturday, Apr. 2, when the Blue Hens travel to Philadelphia to take on Drexel at 1 p.m

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|You can check on youtube for Zak George or Kikopup or Sophia Yin's videos, all of which use very positive methods to teach dogs and probably have specifics on teaching retrieves.
i taught my dog "find it". i hide something an i say "find it"
and he goes after it. when i hid his leash i use to say
"get your leash". after awhile it didn't matter wher his leash
was. all i had to say is "get your leash" and he'll go and get it.
to help get his interest in his leash when we came home from
a walk i would give him his leash to carry from the driveway
to the house. when we were walking in the woods i would
wait untill we were near the car an i would give him his leash
to carry to the car. when were home i laid his leash on the
coffee table, the seat of a chair, on the bed, sofa, etc.
i laid his leash somewhere were he could easily get it.
then i would randomly tell him to "get your leash". whenever
i told him to "get your leash" i took him out. i think that
helped with his interst in his leash. sometimes when we're
walking i would unleash him and tell him to "heel".
i would carry the leash in my right hand. i randomly
dropped the leash while walking. then i would say
"get your leash" and he would go back and pick it up.
at some point i could drop his leash and without saying anything
he would pick it up.
i think my dog likes carrying things. when we come home from
shopping i can give him something to carry from the car to the
house. most of the time he looks for something to carry from the
car to the house.
play retrieving games. use different things for him to retrieve.
|Thanks that is the clearest answer anyone has ever given me, it was always just, " Tell them to get said item". thanks for the help
|It all starts with play. Encouraging your dog to take items in their mouth. Then it becomes a labeled command (like "take it!" or "hold it" or similar). Label items and go nuts!
SO I've heard every say how they have their do trained to get its leash and pick up it's own toys. I've looked into it and I still can't find a straight answer. How did you teach your dog to get it's own leash and pick up it's toys??

Citi cutting 1,000 jobs as mortgage business slows
Citigroup says it is slashing about 1,000 jobs in Nevada and Texas, citing decreased demand for home loans and mortgage refinancing.
The lender said Monday that about 760 of the jobs being eliminated are in Las Vegas, while another 100 are in Irving, Texas.
The rest involve employees who work from home.
Most of the employees being laid off will continue to work until November 22, while some will stay on until March.
Rising interest rates this summer have cut sharply into demand for mortgage refinancing, a big driver of bank profits in recent years.
Citigroup Inc.'s consumer banking earnings slipped 1 percent in the second quarter.
Wells Fargo recently said it was cutting more than 4,000 full-time mortgage-department jobs due to slackening demand.

That was my exact idea origianlly. To have to wind-up key on the back like a to. I will put up a Back placement entry in a little bit. Thanks for the comment.
This is adorable and I'm ignoring every other guppy-tastic comment here. People can dislike it, but they take this stuff too seriously. It's just a damn t-shirt after all.
Also, I don't think the dog should be changed to a robot or anything else, that would change the whole idea, and would then not be clever. A robot playing with a robot dog is a laem idea.

This is the only shirt currently in the fog that I'd buy ... nice job.

This is the same as a previous entry, except with the placement moved to the back of the shirt. Yes... I went there.

Exactly right. Also, the original gameboy was a light gray color with darker gray accents, so I was trying to pay homage to that a bit, too. Glad you like it!

Astolpho! Hey man!
Super cute, and I love that you did this with a muted, limited palette of colors. Nicely done my friend!
xscout wrote:I can't seem to get it below 8 colors. Do black and white count towards the 6 total?
And why do I see entries that include colors not in the specifications? Are the colors for Illustrator different than those for Photoshop?
White and black really do count, anything that has to be applied on the shirt with ink counts as a color.
For your other question, the colors specified in the submission guidelines are only for the background color- the color of the t-shirt itself. For the ink colors, they can match pretty much any color, but the real pros (not me) match the color themselves with pantone colors. Search for a color chart you can use on the Net.
One more suggestion, check out the top ranked shirts and see how they incorporate their design into the background to really show off the details of their work. I don't think a shirt has won in a long time- if ever - that only showed the shirt with the design on it.
Just suggestions, take them with a grain of salt because the best I have done is 14th place.
Good luck.
Neat idea! Steampunkonauts!
Re: Steam Goliath
Oh wow kris this is an amazing illy. An astounding level of detail!
Re: Let's Play
Nice use of halftones and a great illy!
Seki, this is amazing. I'm in agreement that this is one of your best designs here at Woot I've seen. It looks like you stepped out of your comfort zone a bit; the results for doing that here look like they will pay off. With how the Red Riding images do "pop" up in pop culture (Angela Carter's literature, Anne Sexton poetry, movies like "The Howling," etc.) this is really neat take. To sum it all up, "Wow."

Great call, and thanks for the support guys!

Stormink wrote:Wow. Exactly like a shirt you already made. Can woot please reject for copying their own art?
I appear to be in the minority here, but this design doesn't remind me of Grim Optimism. I didn't think of the similarity until it was mentioned in this thread.
Is it laid out similarly? Yes. (It is from the same artist, after all.)
Is the feel the same? Not to me.
I found Grim Optimism quite depressing, actually. This shirt is adorable. I see a robot who is going to play, not Death.

text: Where are they suppose to get the shots? Singler was out there the entire game save for three minutes, which means the other team can overconcentrate on the other four players. Singler scored a lot himself, to make up for it, but that does not help us any as far as getting better percentages from the rest of the players out there. Until they give Singler more defensive attention, he is hurting us out there on offense. Not to mention there was nobody on the other team who he could guard. Feel free to mention anyone he did guard in the slightest.

text: I think Herrmann is obviously the only player in this trade that truly mattered. Hopefully this means that the team will be willing to give Maxiell minutes at the 5 because Primo stinks. I expect the inactive roster to go one of two ways: It will either feature Primo, Stuckey and Samb and once Stuckey is healthy Murray; or Saunders will get it in his head that the team "needs" a big man, even if that big man is garbage and will keep Brezec active and deactivate Johnson because there is too much duplication with McDyess, Maxiell and Herrmann.

Fix loose towel bars with better anchors
When towel bars come loose, it's usually because they weren't well fastened in the first place. The small, wimpy wall anchors included with most towel bar sets just don't have enough holding power. But with sturdy new anchors, you can remount towel bars so they'll never come loose again. Don't put off this fix. The longer you wait, the more likely you are to scar the wall or mar the bar's finish. You can also use these techniques to remount towel rings, toilet paper holders and hooks too. Everything you need is available at home centers and hardware stores.
First, remove the loose end posts. If one post is rock solid, leave it in place (chances are it's fastened to a wall stud). You'll need a hex wrench or mini screwdriver to loosen the setscrew. There's a slight chance that the existing anchors are adequate but the screws have loosened. So try to tighten the screws that hold the mounting plates in place. If they tighten up securely, just remount the posts and the bar. If they don't tighten firmly, remove the screws and the mounting plates. To remove the old anchors, pry them out with a screwdriver or poke them in and let them fall inside the wall.
For fast, solid mounting on drywall, use toggle anchors. These clever anchors are self-drilling and have a T-clamp that folds out when you push the screw into the shaft.
Anchoring in Tile
On tile, 1/4-in. tubular plastic anchors hold firmly, whether there's drywall or cement backer board behind the tile. Be sure to buy tube-shaped anchors as shown here, not tapered anchors, which don't hold as well.
Enlarge the original anchor holes with a 1/4-in. carbide glass-and-tile bit. Tap in the plastic anchors and fasten the mounting plate with screws.

Nice write up, good info.I have just one question though? Your stocker was a Bridgestone? I thought the stocks on Raider were Metz?Just curious.
When the Strykers came out, they came with Bridgestones and Yamaha changed over the Raider's to Bridgestones as well. Then they went back to Metzlers on the Raider. Go Figure.
My speedo showed that i was going 5mph faster than what i really was .. I thought all bikes came like that.

"I am very happy with this product. The paper quality is great and the type of ink used is clear and of high quality. I like how what I saw and ordered on the website is exactly what I received in the mail. Great job!"
"Adorable invitation. I made the overall text black to stand out more. I BOLDED the Mommy to Bee's name to stand out. I added more text to the invitation that didn't seem to fit. After doing so, I called Cust. Service and they shifted the text upward to make all fit nicely then placed my order verbally over the phone. I even increased the font on the overall text a bit larger - this came out so nice! Customer service was wonderful! I used the Designer review and worked with Paul who helped create this adorable invitation and matching Thank you notes. I even received a hand written thank you note from Paul thanking me for the business. I would use TinyPrints again!"
"Because the text is completely customizable, I used this card for my daughter's 2nd birthday party invitation. I am not a huge fan of character parties, but she loves Winnie the Pooh so she is having a Classic Pooh inspired party. All of the Winnie the Pooh invitations I found were too cutesy for my taste. This card was perfect. I used the Tiny Prints designer review service, and the designer was quite helpful. Everything was completed very quickly, and I love how it turned out."
"I'm very happy with this product and the Tiny Prints site as well. You have a great selection of baby shower invitations to choose from. The "Puppy Kisses" invitation was easy to customize and I was able to include a cute photo of the expectant mother and her two dogs on the back of the invitation. The paper quality of both the invitation and the envelope were great and the completed invitation was adorable and professional looking! I would definitely use Tiny Prints again."
"Bought these for my nieces baby shower. Quality product! Has the professional look I was going for, but very reasonably priced. Arrived a few days before scheduled delivery which was an added plus!"

By Chris Harris
Craig Eastmond has been at the vanguard of a new wave of Arsenal talent this season - and he believes there is plenty more to come.
The young Londoner has always craved a midfield role but had to settle for a right-back slot in Steve Bould's Youth Cup-winning side last season while Francis Coquelin and Emmanuel Frimpong occupied the 'engine room'. But a year is a long time in football and Eastmond has pushed ahead of his peers to make seven first-team appearances in his preferred position.
Eastmond has surprised even himself with his progress since he made his debut in the Carling Cup last October. And he believes he is one of many Youth Cup winners who can make their mark on Arsène Wenger's team next season.
"You do need experience, someone to show the young players the way, but we have youngsters who are good enough to come through," Eastmond told Arsenal.com.
"Hopefully we will see Conor Henderson, Emmanuel Frimpong, Jay Emmanuel-Thomas, Sanchez Watt, Jack Wilshere and others. Everyone is looking at how others have made it into the first team and are trying to take the same path.
"Some of them have gone out on loan and that's the best thing for a youngster because you can get experience and then come back to Arsenal to show how much you have progressed. The lads have told me it is very hard on loan because you have to be the best player all the time, but you can only improve because it's a different environment, a different atmosphere."
While many of his mates have tried their luck away from Emirates Stadium, Eastmond has been in the right place at the right time to take his chance when injuries and absentees opened the door to the first team. He followed that impressive debut against Liverpool with a solid Premier League bow at Bolton and is now a regular fixture in Wenger's matchday squad.
"I am surprised [I have played so much]," the 19-year-old admitted. "I set a target just to play in the Carling Cup but I got a taste of that and thought I was ready to get into the squad regularly for the Premier League. I have had some starts and now I want to stay around the first team because I have more targets to achieve.
"It all started from the African Cup of Nations when certain players were away. The boss gave me a chance and I think I have taken it. I stepped in for Alex Song and I am progressing in that role. I just have to look at his good points and adapt them to my game. I speak to Alex a lot and he gives me a lot of good tips.
"My first priority now is to travel with the first team in pre-season and then stay around the squad for the pre-season friendlies. The summer will be important for me because it will allow me to show what I can do."
Eastmond's last start came at Wigan - a defeat which sounded the death knell for Arsenal's title challenge. The teenager admits that 3-2 defeat at the DW Stadium hit the squad hard but he believes they can make amends next season.
"I'm not too sure why the season has gone downhill so quickly but at the training ground we are all trying to keep our heads up and look forward to next season," said Eastmond. "There is a little cloud over the place because we were very close to being top.
"Wigan was a real low point. Everyone went into the game on a high and we should have won even though Wigan were fighting for their lives. It was a missed opportunity because we wanted to take advantage of the other teams dropping points.
"We are progressing though. Most people thought we would struggle this season but we have proved we have big players."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

"We used this card for an open house at our business. We were able to modify the font sizes a bit which made it a better fit for us. The quality of the paper is outstanding and the product is beautiful in design. We used Tiny Prints for our Christmas open house invitation last year and received great compliments on them. Tiny Prints is our "go to" company for beautiful and fun invites."
"The quality was better than I expected. Nice paper I would have liked to change the color of the door to match the green print, but not a deal breaker."
"Excellent service! These Chalkboard Invites have had rave reviews from everyone we sent one to!!! They we're a pleasure to send out such a quality product. Thank-you!"
"Loved this invitation!!! I ordered it for a Client Appreciation Party and wanted to convey it was an elegant wine tasting & appetizer event for adults. This card was perfect!!!"
"The design logo immediately captured my eye as I'm launching an Event Planning business - following my own North Star! The ease of personalizing the card, font styling options and design choices are fabulous. The first time I handed the card to a fellow Chamber of Commerce member during a networking event, they were floored! The weight of the card instantly communicates, "Elegance!" The vibrant colors state, "Professional"; and the Styling gives a nod to, "Creativity." I initially ordered a small batch as a prototype. Once received, I nearly quadrupled my order! Hello Little One has a Midas touch!"

The Utah State Court of Appeals has reversed a Bluffdale man's attempted murder conviction, potentially giving him a new day in court.
Reginald Campos, 47, was convicted by a 3rd District Court jury of shooting fellow neighborhood watch advocate David Serbeck in 2009 because he believed Serbeck and another man were stalking his daughter.
Campos was convicted of first-degree felony attempted murder for shooting Serbeck and leaving him permanently paralyzed. He was later sentenced to up to life in prison.
He also was convicted of third-degree felony aggravated assault for pointing his gun at Serbeck's companion that night.
But Campos' attorney argued before the appeals court in March that his trial lawyers so badly botched his case that the verdict should be thrown out. On Thursday, Campos' appeal won out, for the most part. The court issued a decision to reverse the attempted murder conviction, although it affirmed the conviction for aggravated assault, which cannot exceed a sentence of five years.
"It's not the result that we were hoping for," Assistant Attorney General Mark Field said. "We have 30 days to decide whether we will appeal it. If we don't, it will go back into the district court, and at that point the district attorney will decide whether he wants to retry the case."
The appeals court decided that Campos' attorneys failed to object to an inaccurately worded verdict form the checklist of charges for the jury to mark as guilty or not guilty which misplaced the burden of proof on Campos, rather than on the state. The court also wrote that Campos' attorneys failed to object when a prosecutor attacked their character and suggested the jury find Campos guilty out of vengeance or sympathy for Serbeck, rather than based on the facts.
"We are most troubled by the prosecutor's reference to Campos' 'stealing from [Serbeck] his ability to run, his ability to bike, his ability to walk his daughter down the aisle,' " the decision reads. The attorneys' inaction "undermines our confidence that Campos received a fair trial, and absent counsel's errors, there is a reasonable probability of a different result."
John Campos, the defendant's brother, first heard of the decision when The Salt Lake Tribune called him for an interview.
"That's fantastic, especially for them to come back in a timely manner," John Campos said. "We're very happy that the decision has come out."
According to Campos' appeals defense attorney Herschel Bullen, one of most the significant elements of Reginald Campos' appeal is that the burden of proof was "completely turned on its head." Bullen said in arguments in March that Campos wanted to use an "imperfect self-defense" argument because Campos believed he was defending himself even if he was acting "reasonably but incorrectly."
Bullen argued that the jury was given the impression that the burden of proof was on the defense, when the state was actually required to prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt. The result, Bullen said, was that Campos' trial attorney was ineffective.
Greg Skordas, who co-represented Campos with Rebecca Skordas, who was lead attorney at trial, offered that the court's decision was a well-reasoned one and he "respects the appeals court's ability to go through that."
Campos shot Serbeck on the night of July 22, 2009, after Campos' teenage daughter came home and said she had been followed by an SUV.
Campos a certified public accountant who had become a neighborhood watch advocate following a recent influx of crime in the area responded by getting a gun and, with his daughter, venturing out into the neighborhood to find the SUV.
Bullen told the court in March that the girl felt she was being chased. Serbeck who also had advocated forming a neighborhood watch program and his companion that night, Troy Peterson, had reportedly followed Campos' daughter because they thought her vehicle was suspicious.
When Campos eventually spotted Serbeck's SUV, he pulled in front, forcing it to stop, and jumped out of his vehicle waving a gun and screaming about someone following his daughter, according to Serbeck's testimony at the trial.
During the ensuing confrontation, Serbeck, who also carried a loaded gun, claimed at trial that he lowered his gun by the barrel, kicked it away and stepped from behind his car door, saying, "Let's talk," before Campos shot Serbeck the chest, paralyzing him.
During the March hearing, Bullen argued that Campos was under extreme emotional distress when he shot Serbeck. Bullen also alleged that prosecutors misled the jury during the trial about whether Serbeck had placed a bullet in the chamber of the gun he carried that night.
Field conceded in March that there was a bullet in the chamber but characterized prosecutors' comments as a misstatement, at most. Field went on to praise Campos' trial attorney, saying she did a "fabulous" job on the case and was not ineffective in any way.
Field had also argued that Campos' hysterical daughter wasn't enough to justify an extreme emotional distress defense.
Serbeck is in prison for an unrelated crime. In March 2012, he was convicted on three counts of unlawful sexual activity with a minor, all third-degree felonies. Last June, a judge ordered him to spend up to 10 years in prison for the crimes.
Prosecutors say Serbeck, 40, groomed a 17-year-old neighbor in the summer of 2007, exploiting her trouble with depression and having sex with her three times in his Magna home.

Yes, that is exactly what I remember and now that I see the name I remember that also. What you said makes sense. The 1965 383 Mopar with a 4 barrel carb is rated at 330 hp (at least from what I found on the net) thats plenty actually for such a light truck really. I may gain a few horses with headers, dont need to make a wheelie machine or have something that I cant keep rear tires on,,,,,,yet.
I wouldn't change the camshaft until I knew for sure what the actual static compression ratio of the motor is. I know fellows have changed cams in motors for decades without knowing anything about the inside of their motor, but that doesn't mean they did it right!!!!!
Static compression ratio should be matched to the intake closing point of the camshaft in order to generate the proper cylinder pressure for the fuel you're using. It's called Dynamic Compression Ratio and if you're going to maximize your cam change, you need to figure it all out first.
As far as an intake manifold, with a stock cam I'd retain the stock intake manifold, unless you just want to lighten your wallet and take a few pounds off the front of the truck. AGAIN, the Chrysler engineers figured the exact size and length of the intake runners on the stock piece to provide the best overall performance. Until you tear into the motor and change everything, I would leave the stock piece on there. A 600/650 carb will be all you need.
Got it. Keep the great tips comin! I thought some more over the weekend about this and originally I was going to put a little bit bigger cam in the Mopar but then again, not really looking to go totally nuts. So, in everybody's opinion, would there be a need for a super coil electronic ignition or just go with a straight conversion over from points to electronic? That may have sounded really contradictory but I dont have alot of experience with converting over from points. I remember a really simple kit that you could buy back in the 80's that you installed in place of the point setup inside the distributor.
Also, I plan on getting an aluminum intake for it also. With a stock cam, what kind of aluminum 4 barrel intake and what size carburator would you guys suggest?
Use a ford mid 90's electric fan from a t-bird or taurus.
if your are don't a disk swap then don't forget to also get the 5 lug axles. They also bolt right in into the 67 housing.
You will also need a set 5 lug wheels.
Mopar into a chevy eh well I suppose,,, there is an old saying it goes "if the shoe fits wear it"
FWIW when I did my first V8 swap from the original straight 6 250 in my C10 I used the single core rad that was in the truck up until I went to the current 383 (stroker not mopar). I had a fairly hot 350 in there for a while and never had an overheating issue without a shroud and no aux fan either. The orignal single core rads have a huge surface area at least this was the case n the 72's not sure of the 67's capacity or what type rad you have now. Dont forget the trans cooler.
The flexalite black magic fan is what I run now with a some back yard brackets, using a flexalite variable speed soft start controller which is great and a tripple core rad from a 69, no fan on the motor, a manual override can be connected to these controllers to bring the fan on through a toggle switch, cool as a cucumber
|I like to use the mechanical system from the vehicle that's supplying the motor. Get the motor/trans in place, then adapt all the cooling system from the Mopar. You may have to do some cutting on the core support to adapt the radiator, maybe not. Look at the Mopar before you pull the motor and measure and record the distance from the fan to the core so you can position the radiator exactly the same distance from the fan and you will have everything in place, including the shroud. The motor will cool exactly like it did when it was in the Mopar sheetmetal. Chrysler Corp paid its engineers top dollar to design and build a cooling system for that 383 that would do the job under many varying conditions. Take advantage of the free engineering. That's my best advice.
here you go.. cheap easy and fits stock shroud..
and from moparparts.com the fan is a woop'n 59.00
it's the famous jeep grand cheroke fan install for 67-72 trucks
you'll thank me later..
I got the fan it was 59+12 shipping and a fan controller from jegs or summit.. have to go look.. it was like 40-50 bucks..
another cheap electric fan build! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network
The switch, relay, and harness i used was a jegs kit, part number 555-10560 $45.99
fans P/N: CBG4F250
Definitely going with headers and I believe flowmasters. I will take a look at the link.
|Or, do I dump the original fan assembly and put a regular pulley on the waterpump. Then go with a totally electric fan setup? Any experience with those? Or maybe then you are relying on the fan thermostat too much to keep things cool. Our Chevy Avalanche has a setup like that and it works really well, plus gives your a tad bit better gas mileage.
Having the rad and fan won't hurt. You'll likely need a custom fan shroud after you get it in. If you're going headers or need mount ideas then heres a link.
Schumacher Creative Services
I've used their headers. Fit like a glove, starter access is excellent.
Excellent advice! I actually was going to start looking up how to set an engine and tranny when customizing things. The pickup has a fuel tank that is in the cab right now so that is coming out and Ill put a fuel tank under the bed. I think I am going to go with an electric fuel pump on this. When I pull the Mopar out in the next month or two, I am going to replace the points/coil setup and put in electronic too. Cant believe that I wanted to stick with points when I put it back in after rebuilding it.
So, I want to have the radiator im going to use and fan in place too when I measure things up right? I believe that I am going to get one of those aluminum super cool radiators to make sure nothing gets hot.
Just a couple of thoughts from an old guy who has been there, done that.
Get a contractor's plumb bob and some chalk that will write on your concrete surface you'll be working on. That's how to do all the measurements, drop the plumb bob from point to point, make a mark on the concrete and measure with a rule of T-square. Get yourself an angle finder and a couple of good levels, a short one and a long one.
Chock the truck up at ride height. Take the front wheels/tires off and put jackstands under the frame at the height the truck will be at when finished. Put the motor in with the intake manifold in place. Put the level on the carb pad of the manifold and level it front to rear and side to side. The motor and trans will be installed at a down angle when you do this, usually 2-3 degrees.
You can move the motor front to rear as far as you want to either way to make things fit. You can also move it side to side either way as far as you need to, so long as you keep the crankshaft centerline perpendicular to the rear axle centerline and watch for transmission clearance at the floorpan tunnel. Don't be afraid to axe some sheetmetal out of the way to make it fit. You can use scraps and weld it back together later. This is particularly true of headers. NOTHING should get in the way of your headers. Axe out anything that is in the way. Never hack up the headers.
Pay attention to service items like mechanical fuel pumps, oil filters, etc. Don't box them in so that you can't get to them to change them later.
the 71-2 disc set up is different than the 73-87
all bolt in..
all are 5 on 5 lug pattern.
|here is what you'll need for the swaybar..
go to the junkyard 1973-87 c-10 front end with engine crossmember bolt in..
get it all crossmember and the whole works.. (a arms,spindles,etc..)
then just change your outer tie rods for the 73-87 ones and it bolts in..
the 73-87 came with two different thickness rotors 1" standard 1 1/4" heavy duty.. keep that in mind when ordering rotors and clappers..
also the 73-87 front sway bar is a bolt in.. you just need to get the frame brackets when you get the bar..

9 Toxins to Keep Off Your Body
Do you know what "fragrance" means when you see it on the label of a personal care product? Neither do we! That's because all sorts of chemicals used to scent products can be clumped under the vague term "fragrance" – and they don't have to be disclosed. Found in everything from shampoo to deodorant, a single product's secret fragrance mixture can contain potentially hundreds of toxic volatile organic compounds.
The Safe Cosmetics Act of 2011 would require companies to separate out the components of the "fragrance" used in their product, but for now, this obfuscating term sits on our list as the "number two" ingredient to avoid in personal care products.
Our article "Is it Poison?" lists the top nine ingredients to avoid (known carcinogens, hormone disruptors, neurotoxins, and more), and links to a downloadable PDF you can print out to keep at home.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
There was a T-10 and a "Super T-10". I know there was an early model (7/8") and a late model with a 1" shaft. Here are a few links to get you started.
Borg Warner Second Design ST
Borg Warner T10 Manual transmission rebuild Kit & parts | Borg Warner T10 rebuild kits - Drivetrain.com
Borg warner t10 cluster gear teeth alignment
I have a Borg Warner that a friend of mine gave him. I wanted to rebuild it before putting it in for him and have a issue that I am getting ready to machine the case to fix. Before I did that I wanted to see if anyone knows what the deal with this is.
When we disassembled the transmission the front thrust washer torn up for the cluster gear. Plus the tooth engagement was roughtly .040 off towards the rear of the transmission. It looked like the cluster gear was to far back in the case. One ear was also broken off of the case.
I bought another case. When I tried to put it all together I could not get either thrust washer in place. I decided to assemble it to try to see what was going on. To get the cluster gear in I used one of the thin washers at the rear. That gave me zero play.
When I put the mainshaft in the cluster gears were about .090 to the rear of the teeth of the mainshaft.
I now have 3 cases.
I have been measuring the bosses for the thrust washers for the cluster gear. The rear measurements are all within .002.
The short of it is the case that I want to use looks like I would need to machine the boss at the front of the transmission down about .090 to get the cluster gear and the two correct thrust washers in and that would let the teeth line up.
Even the case that came with it looks like it needs about .065 removed to get the second thrust washer in.
My question is were there this many differances in these transmissions and I got a case and cluster gear from two different transmission?
The numbers on the first case worked out to be a early 80's GM. The second case worked out to be out of a 79 or 80 Buick GS 455.
I am not sure about the aluminum case. It is a good case but when I cleaned it up it had a couple of small cracks. I welded them up. But overall the case just looks so pourus I am scared it may be weak. Everything I have read also says the aluminum cases are weak.
Any thoughts would be great.

Modest GHC Proposals
From HaskellWiki
There are many many proposals to augment GHC (and Haskell) that would be valuable yet languish because they have not be documented / collected anywhere aside from persisting in the Mailing lists.
Such proposals are things, typically, that would be uncontroversial and welcomed, but which no core GHC developers have free cycles to work on.
Proposals are suitable for this page if they do not require deep changes to GHC, though they may still be nontrivial, and which ghc-hq is likely to merge in when there is a strong community consensus and well-written patch is on hand.
1 Expanded Deprecated Pragma
The current pragma can attach to modules or top level entities including functions, classes, and types.
It cannot attach to exports (i.e. if we wish to not deprecate "foo" but only its reexport from module Bar).
It also cannot attach to methods within classes.
There are other possible things we may wish to deprecate as well. Expanding this pragma would make certain changes to libraries more tractable and easily managed.
2 Records and Modules
Yitzchak Gale's nested modules proposal l which would address one of the larger warts with the current module system and records while adding essentially no complexity to the GHC internals. (i.e. no changes would be needed to GHC beyond the parsing phase possibly, so an easy changeto experiment with )
3 Pattern Synonyms

Today, Fox's Eric Bolling hyped legislation that would deny tax credits to families with American citizen children and misrepresented the position of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) on the issue.
There have been some reports of people fraudulently claiming the tax credit based on children who do not live in the United States. But rather than pushing for a solution to the fraud, Bolling hyped legislation that would stop all undocumented immigrant parents from claiming any portion of the tax credit for their children, even if those children are American citizens.
Undocumented immigrants are required to pay federal income taxes, just as citizens and other immigrants must do. Federal tax law currently allows families that earn below a certain income level to take a Child Tax Credit for each citizen or resident alien child in the family, and at some income levels, the tax credit is refundable, meaning that some taxpayers claiming the Child Tax Credit will receive a refund check from the government that is greater than the amount of tax that was withheld from their paychecks.
Undocumented immigrants also can -- and often do -- have U.S. citizen children. This is due to the fact that the Constitution states that all people born in the United States are automatically entitled to citizenship regardless of the immigration status of their parents.
The legislation at issue, introduced by Sen. David Vitter (R-LA), would require anyone claiming the Child Tax Credit to have a valid Social Security number, which is unavailable to undocumented immigrants. It contains no exception for immigrants with American citizen children. And it blocks undocumented immigrants from claiming any part of the Child Tax Credit, not merely the part that is refundable.
During the segment, Bolling falsely claimed that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV), who recently objected to Vitter's attempt to have the Senate pass the bill by unanimous consent, "wants to block efforts" to make it illegal for people to commit Child Tax Credit fraud.
In fact, Reid actually noted that the tax code is already very clear that "the child tax credit is not available for children living outside the United States" and that the legislation in question "takes a sledgehammer to a problem that deserves some very fine tuning and a scalpel." Reid added that Sen. Max Baucus (D-MT) is working with the IRS "to determine if its procedures are strong enough to stop" Child Tax Credit fraud, and said that if the procedures are not strong enough, "then it is up to Congress to plug any loopholes that may exist."
Furthermore, according to the National Council of La Raza, the legislation hyped by Bolling would fall disproportionately on poor Hispanic families and for the typical taxpayer affected by the legislation, who earns $21,240 per year, the legislation would amount to "a loss of $1,800 in the typical family's income per year."
To top it all off, on-screen text during the segment used the "illegals" slur to refer to undocumented immigrants.

A couple thoughts on this thesis, which reminds me of how the misunderstood heroes of comic book movies and sought-after female leads of teen vampire fiction always end up looking coincidentally a whole lot like the writers of said movies and books. In this version, Richard Cohen objects to Daniel Craig's muscular physique in "Skyfall," preferring an older, softer sex appeal:
"Skyfall" is a lot of fun — don't get me wrong — but it still says something about our culture that, in the autumn of my years, I do not like. To appreciate what I mean, contrast this new Bond to Roger O. Thornhill, the charmingly hapless advertising man played by Cary Grant in "North by Northwest." Like Bond, Thornhill pulls off some amazing physical feats — his mad frantic escape from the crop duster, the traverse of Mount Rushmore — and like Bond he wears an expensive suit. Unlike Bond, though, when he takes it off we do not see some marbleized man, an ersatz creation of some trainer, but a fit man, effortlessly athletic and just as effortlessly sophisticated. Of course, he knows his martinis, but he also knows how to send out a suit for swift hotel cleaning. He is a man of the world. He is, in short, a man of a certain age — 55 at the time, to be more or less exact.
In "North by Northwest" and other movies, Grant — for all his good looks — represented the triumph of the sexual meritocracy — a sex appeal won by experience and savoir-faire, not delts and pecs and other such things that any kid can have.
First, I'm not sure there's much of a change going on here. Sean Connery was an actual bodybuilder before he was Bond, famously placing in the Mr. Universe competition in the early 1950s. Granted, because bodybuilding was less mainstream and less extreme in the '50s and '60s, Connery debuted in "Dr. No" with a leaner look than Craig's, but he's still about seven percent body fat and likely a lot more defined than the average man of the time.
As for Grant, he's certainly as suave and charming an actor as has ever graced the screen, but a symbol of sexual meritocracy? Grant escaped his given name and an unhappy childhood in Britain armed with his good looks and training on the vaudeville stage as, among other things, an acrobat— skills he later used to legendary effect in all those chase scenes and pratfalls. Though he brought much more to each part, stunning features and physical prowess were always part of Grant's allure, even as he aged.
When Craig was cast to play Bond in "Casino Royale," there was much public outcry about the actor falling a bit short in the stunning features area. He is not conventionally handsome— To me, he resembles nothing so much as a super-hot Mr. Potato Head.—but both his looks and his tougher physique reflect what producers were trying to do with the character— differentiate him from the suave and generally sunny Bond of old with a emotionally deeper, dangerous anti-hero. Ironically, it's a return to the unpolished physicality and brogue that made Bond creator Ian Fleming unsure of Connery's fitness to play the part. Connery acted his rough edges away for the character. Craig relies on his.
Second, I don't think we're in imminent danger of running short of older, male actors successfully wooing young actresses in films— another trend Cohen sees falling victim to Craig's exaggerated pecs.
Gary Cooper in "High Noon" wins Grace Kelly by strength of character, not muscles. He was about 50, and Kelly was a mere 23.
Maybe the best example of the unmuscled hero is Humphrey Bogart in "Casablanca." Bogart was 15 years older than Ingrid Bergman and it did not matter at all. He had the experience, the confidence, the internal strength that can only come with age.
Don't look now, but "Skyfall's" Bond girl, Bérénice Marlohe is 12 years younger than Craig, and there are plenty of people who wouldn't mind seeing such age gaps tighten up a bit every now and then or even go the other direction. Men may be required to keep on more muscle than in the past, but surely Cohen would allow than that they're allowed to age far more easily in Hollywood than women are.
And, finally, someone's going to have to keep me posted. Is exercise good or bad? It shifts so frequently. In this piece, Cohen piggybacks on a NYT piece deploring the —gasp!— the trend of young men weightlifting to gain muscle. Peter Suderman destroys that health scare handily, here. Back to Cohen:
This is all very sad news. Every rippling muscle is a book not read, a movie not seen or a conversation not held. That's why Sean Connery was my kind of Bond. He was 53 when he made his last Bond film, "Never Say Never Again." Women loved him because he was sophisticated and he could handle a maitre d' as well as a commie assassin. Western civilization was saved not on account of his pecs but on account of his cleverness and experience.
I know the movie market skews young and kids want action, and I take it as a good thing that Daniel Craig's Bond is older, world weary, and, in sports lingo, has slowed a step. But he still triumphs physically, not cleverly. He does not woo women; they just come on to him.
I'm not the most knowledgable connoisseur of the Bond franchise, but Bond has never been much of a wooer. His first-ever on-screen conquest showed up in his room half-naked for a round of putt-putt (literally and euphemistically) after exchanging three sentences with him. Bond's sophistication matters, but Connery's Bond relied so heavily on raw sexuality that it shaped public perception and parodies for decades to come. I remember hearing a funny story, perhaps apocryphal, about the original casting of Connery as Bond. Fleming was unsure of the choice, but his wife or girlfriend took one look at Connery and said, "Yeah, that guy's got it." I probably prefer the taller, leaner Bond and Connery's angst-free portrayal, but I like Craig, too.
I'd say Craig's Bond, who spent the entire second movie of his Bond hitch avenging the death of one woman with whom he'd had a meaningful relationship, has traded in some of his debonair for more depth. And, he got awesome abs as part of the upgrade. I'm not complaining.

How do you think that aluminum would work for Jango armor?
How do you think that aluminum would work for Jango armor?
Now I have not tried this, so I'd do some experimenting first. If this Rub-N-Buff is as good as I've heard, I think using it over the aluminum color would look sharp. Bigkidbiggertoys and Seeker both had really good results with whatever they used. I'd get their opinions.
Yes, I was thinking of using that stuff too.
Anyone tried using a stainless steel? It kind of has a darker hue to it and isn't so shinny but gives a metal look. Just a thought, haven't explored it yet.
i have found that aluminum pait wors best it holds its shine better.
Use a few different shades of silver, aluminum, pewter, etc. Randomly spray a few different coats to achieve a mottled effect. Lightly sand with 1500 grit to get the swirl marks present in real metal & it should look pretty good. I tried the Rub 'n Buff on my pistols. Maybe it is because the paint I am using has a high metallic concentration, but it didn't make a huge difference, it just shined them up a little more. Still it does have it's applications. I found that when I weathered my armor it became realistic looking. I used watered down acrylic black & rust, dabbed on with a stencil brush, sponged to make it random, then dabbed with a rag to remove the sponge marks. This techniqe worked awesome.
bigkidbiggertoys- Thanks for those suggestions! I didn't even think of those. Did you use a clear coat on yours?
No clearcoat. Some clearcoats yellow with age & I don't want to have to repaint my armor in a few years. I think if I did clearcoat it it would also ruin the dirt effect & surface scratching. I suppose you could do these steps after too but like I said, some clearcoats yellow with age. Lacquers are notorious for this.
So you paint, then sand, then use the Rub and buff, or do you paint again after you sand?
The tutorial I posted was for Jango armor. I don't think that I would paint over Rub 'n Buff. I am unsure if paint would adhere properly because it seems to be a wax paste with metal particulates.
Does the sintra need to be sanded before you start painting period (aside wfrom what you do to make the metal swirls) and do you need a primer or just go with your silver paint?
It is always good to sand first to prep the surface for better adhesion. I used 220 grit & wet sanded. Wash the pieces, let them dry & then spray a coat of sandable primer. Wetsand again using 400 grit then more primer, then a final wetsand before the finish coats. It seems like a lot of work but it goes pretty quickly. The final finish you get depends on the amount of prep you do before hand.
I wanted to paint the undercoatings of all my armor pieces either a chrome or silver finish. I was thinking to go with chrome since silver does dull out after a while.
I've seen some spray cans that have the chrome cap cover. Does the actual finish look as accurate as real chrome? What do you all recommend?
Also, I wanted to mask off the areas of chrome/silver and paint over it. What is the product that you can apply and then peal off once you've masked an area? I remember reading about it on the boards somewhere that talked about some liquid masking thing that allows you to put Fett battle dents really well. What is this product called and where can I get it at?
The chrome paint is somewhat unpleasant cause it never seems to dry and stays sticky. I had this experience with using in sclupey. Plus, foget about a top coat over it, it will ruin the chrome finish.
I use Sliver #1001 from pep boys automovtive paint works just perfect and dries nicely too.
I used Krylon Chrome paint, it comes in a thin black can. It worked very well for me, It had a VERY smooth and reflective silver look to it. The paint I used over it was a water base enamel that I used an airbrush to apply. I found I was able to scrape off the enamel with my fingernail to expose the silver underneath while it was still a little damp.
I used Krylon as well. I masked using masking tape.
I can't think of one spot on Boba's armor where you see shiney or mirrored metal showing through. Just like the rest of the suit, it is dull and weathered. I used Rust-Oleum Aluminum 7715. The aluminum gives it a definate metal look without appearing 'show room new' in the worn spots. You should us the same silver on all of the worn areas of the armor so that you get a consistent look. This color actually dries pretty quick too.

• The Griffs' finale against Marist has big implications on the 2013 MAAC Tournament.
• A win by Canisius secures the top seed for the tournament. The Griffs will then play fourth-seeded Siena, while second-seeded Fairfield plays No. 3 Marist.
• If Marist wins on Saturday, the Griffs and Red Foxes will share the regular-season title. Marist will earn the one seed and play Siena in the semifinals, while No. 2 Canisius would play No. 3 Fairfield in a rematch of each of the last two MAAC Championships.
• A win on Saturday would clinch the program's first outright MAAC regular-season title.
• Canisius would also earn its highest seed at a MAAC Championship if victorious. The Griffs have earned the second seed four times (2006, 2010-12) but have never been the top seed.
• The women's lacrosse team is also looking to become just the second time in Canisius history to complete a MAAC season undefeated. The softball team finished the 1993 conference season with a 10-0 record.
• Four seniors are looking to leave the Demske on top on Saturday.
• Morgan Leonard, Meghan McGunigle, Gina Molfetta and Lindsey Morgan are all set to appear in their final home game at the Demske Sports Complex.
• The four players have appeared in 183 career games with 239 points, 188 goals, 51 assists and 107 saves.
• The senior class at Canisius is making its mark as the best in the program's history.
• The Class of 2013 has totaled 45 wins during its four-year careers, the most in any four-year period during the team's history. The Class of 2012 held the previous standard with 42 wins.
• The Griffs are meeting the Red Foxes for the 20th time on Saturday, the most of any opponent in Canisius' history.
• Marist is 15-4 all-time against Canisius.
• However, the Griffs have won three of five meetings against the Red Foxes since the current seniors first arrived on campus.
• Last year, the schools split a pair of games. Marist posted a 13-11 win during the regular season with Canisius winning in the semifinals, 14-5.
• Marist enters the weekend with an 8-8 overall record, winning each of its last four games.
• The Red Foxes are currently 4-1 in MAAC play. A win on Saturday would result in the top seed for Marist, while a loss would drop the team to third.
• Tierney Larson leads the Red Foxes with 53 points this season, recording nine goals to go along with a MAAC-leading 44 assists. Ashley Miller ranks second on the team with 46 points and leads the squad with 41 goals.
• Ashley Casiano has started all 16 games in goal for the Red Foxes, posting a .468 save percentage and a 10.19 goals against average.
