This should be a telling game. First, the Pistons can't continue to lose to bad teams. If that trend continues, it's going to be a very long season. Second, since the Kings game Saturday night, this is a long off streak and there has been plenty of time for practice. Webber ought to be pretty well integrated. Delfino might even have gotten some practice time at the point. Rest, practice, a resurging McDyess, and CB at 100% - ought to add up to a convincing win.
These guys beat us up twice. They have confidence and are full of vim and vigour. This is a real test. Road game.
I did not pay too much attention to the prior two losses, but it seems that the Bobcats can take advantage of the Pistons' aging front line if Okafor and crew put forth a good effort. Prince and GWallace are both guys that excel at doing the little things very well. Billups and Rip should have a field day with whoever the Bobcats trot out there, and that should be the difference in this game. Hopefully the Pistons can keep building momentum by beating a team they are supposed to beat.
The Raptors had success throwing some zone defense at the Bobcats on Monday night. Charlotte scored a grand total of 8 points in the 3rd quarter. The Las Vegas line currently has the Pistons favored by 7 points.
I suspect this could turn into a Detroit smackdown. We just need our beloved and productive beat writers to keep asking the Pistons why this lousy 'cats team keep stealing their lunch. Maybe they will feel disrespected enough to lay the hurt down.
I'm hoping for a Pistons blowout, too. Usually, when we expect this, though, the opposite happens. In any case, it will be nice to finally see the Pistons back in action. Supposedly, there was some heavy emphasis on defense during the Pistons recent practices. We'll see how it pans out tonight...
Heavy emphasis on defense? Oh yeah, I can just imagine: Flip: "Oh guys, before you leave I have one more thing...don't forget to play some defense tonight...K...thanks."
I'm sure you are aware that the Pistons aren't soley coached by Flip Saunders. The staff includes: * Dave Cowens, NBA All-Defense 1st team, twice on 2nd team * Terry Porter, 23rd in the NBA with 1583 Career Steals * Ron Harper, three times was in the top 10 in season steals (3rd in 1987) The notion believed by many that the Pistons never work on defense is just downright silly. Even without Ben Wallace, the Pistons are still 6th in the NBA in points allowed and 4th in field goal percentage defense. I'll be the first to admit that they still need some serious improvement if they hope to contend this year. The rules have changed the way teams play defense and the Pistons, as well as all the other teams, are still trying to adapt.
There is plenty of blame to go around. Flip is responsible for his staff. Just as Dumars is responsible for Flip. If they aren't getting the job done then fire them, regardless of their individual accomplishments as players. Being a great player does not translate to being a great coach. However, FLIP is the coach and he is going to be the recipient of the blame when there are apparent coaching deficiencies on his staff. I'm sure he gets paid more than Porter, Harper and Cowens, so I would imagine there are responsibilities that come with the territory. If they start winning, FLIP, not the others will receive most of the credit. People can throw as many stats out there as they see fit...when it comes down to crunch time, I don't see Detroit making the stops. I have no clue what goes on in practice. I'm wondering if Flip does. He's given me no reason to have confidence in him and in fact, has given me lots of reasons to doubt he is the right guy for the job. Show me some stats and positive results from the playoffs (i.e. winning).
We all want that! Don't forget the start time is 7 PM.
I would say our defense is top notch when we work as a team and play with a lot of energy. Statistically, we're not very good considering how few possessions there are in a Pistons game. You could say our defense is predicated on the speed of the game much more so than the specific schemes. Play hard, play efficiently, play with energy, have fun! :D
Whever players are asked they always mention the emphasis on offense. There is only a finite amount of time to devote to practice. They practice defense but it doesn't seem like its on equal footing with offense.
I'm going to throw out some defensive stats here. FG% allowed is a great way to eliminate tempo from the equation and see who plays the best D. The best way is to take points per possession allowed, but I can't find that right now. In FG% allowed, here are the top 10 teams: 1) Houston (Yao/Mutumbo/Battier) 2) Orlando (Twin towers/ Ariza) 3) Chicago (Big Ben/ Coach Skiles) 4) Detroit (Sheed/Tay/Rip/CB...) 5) New Jersey (Kidd) 6) Utah (Coach Sloan/ Kirilenko/ Boozer) 7) San Antonio (Duncan/ Pop) 8) Cleveland (Big Z) 9) New Orleans (Chandler) 10) Dallas (Avery) 11) Phoenix (Stoudamire/ Marion) So, we are the best defensive team without a Center. We still got it. Other surprising stats: We own the best differential between shots blocked (#1) and getting our shots blocked (#3). We are almost the best on both sides of the equation. That is a testament to us blocking shots from every position; Sheed (63 blocks), Naz (37), Tay (29), Davis (27), Dice (24), JMax (21), Rip (12), CB (11), Flip (7), and Delf (4). This is better than a team with a dominant blocker, because they won't be able to adjust their game play to avoid all of our guys in the playoffs. And the only 2 teams that get blocked less than us are Phoenix and Dallas. We don't play the same style as them, so I think it reflects the bball IQ of our players. They have a good feel for when they shouldn't force a shot.

This is going to be a nice blowout by the Pistons for their third straight win.
Chat is open, see you soon! http://www.pistonsforum.com/misc.php?do=flashchat
Quick microcap 103-92 Pistons. Nice road win, gutted out in the 4th Q with some timely baskets from Rasheed Wallace. The Bobcats were tough all night and kept it very close heading deep into the 3rd period. All 5 Pistons starters in double digits, but the minutes were too high and came at the expense of the Pistons bench. To Coach Flip Saunders' credit, he did rotate 10 men. Both Nasty Nazr and Nasty Flip both did not play, nor did Will Blalock, Amir Johnson or Ronald Dupree (the last three were inactive). Not surprisingly the Pistons were beaten on the boards, but they recovered possessions by creating a WHACK load of turnovers. 11 Steals by the Pistons matched the 11 total turnovers the Pistons made. CWebb is very smooth passing the ball. We are all very happy about that. I'm really liking the way he carries himself and is becoming a part of this team, even laughing it up and smiling on the bench. Pistons shoot 52%, with CWebb and Sheed both being incredibly efficient. The two starting PFs went a combined 14 for 18 from the field, and 9 of 11 from the charity stripe. As an aside, Gerald Wallace was an absolute BEAST in this game. He was everywhere, capitalizing on turnovers, lobs, rebounds etc. If that guy could stay healthy, he would be an All-Star. Bring on Agent Zero, the Hibachi master.
Nice win by the boyz in blue. signing of Cwebb is paying dividends >3-1 so far and the loss was without CB. All five starters get in double figures. I think CWebb may be reenergizing Sheed. Tay struggled but hit a key 3 down the stretch. In fact even with the Bobcats in the penalty from the 10 minute mark, the Pistons were able to stretch the six pt 3rd qtr lead and eventually pull away without giving up a bunch a points at the FT line. The bench didn't do that much, but they did hold their own while the starters rested with Hunter dropping in 6 pts and D Davis returning score two buckets. Real test of extending the win streak will be vs the washington pretenders on Friday.
Nice win on the road. Can't wait for these guys to get used to C-Webb's passing. I haven't been able to catch to many games on T.V. and haven't seen CW play in awhile he is really good at finding the open cutter. Sheed finally woke up in the second half,if those two keep clicking like this game and we get rid of some dead wood for a legit backup pg this will get interesting coming up into the playoff push.
Separate names with a comma.

Have been looking at a lot on the net and woundered what you might think wouls be a good 1st machine.
The 35p Ohler is said to be good and then there is the F-1 "Basic" and the "Master" units that have a 16 foot cord to run back to the shooting table, so you can make adjustments while the range is "Hot".
Any ideas?

Shoulder Biomechanics: The primary focus of our research is to better understand and describe the motion of the shoulder joint in living individuals. Using a specialized non-invasive three-dimensional (3D) fluoroscopic imaging technique, we can visualize the shoulder joint in an accurate computer model. These models give insight into normal and abnormal shoulder mechanics. For example, we can assess the effects that treatments have on shoulder motion; such as total shoulder replacement, instability surgery, and rotator cuff repair. My goal in maintaining a rigorous research program is to advance and improve shoulder treatments for my patients through an objective scientific method.
Outcomes Research: We have an ongoing prospective initiative to provide quality metrics for every shoulder procedure we perform. These metrics will help patients have realistic expectations of their surgery while providing a comparison to other individuals who underwent the same procedure.
Dr. Warner's most recent publications are listed below. View this PDF for a complete listing.
Three-dimensional planning software may improve outcomes for shoulder arthroplasty. The technology allows surgeons to install the prosthetic joint with greater foresight and precision.

The Department of Orthopaedic Surgery is proud to announce the opening of their new state-of-the-art outpatient facility in Waltham, housing the new Foot & Ankle Center.
Patients with severe shoulder arthritis are unable to move their arms through the full range of motion and consequently are unable to perform many activities of daily living. For these patients, total shoulder replacement is a proven surgical procedure relieving their pain, recovering their range of motion and allowing them to return to their active lifestyles. In this video, Dr JP Warner goes through the necessary examination and the surgical technique. He also points out that in 98% of the patients this is a very successful, proven procedure.

Coffee with a Colleague: Timothy A. Santos
Posted on September 20, 2013
What is your name and your role(s) at Wheaton?
My name is Timothy A. Santos. My nickname is Tuna. Mike Yelle from the Carpenter Shop who came up with that name. He started calling me Tuna. So now, everybody calls me Tuna.
I started at Wheaton in 1978 so I've been here 35 years. This coming April will be 36. I started out on the Grounds department and I did the Grounds department for about maybe 5–8 years. Then there was an opening in the Paint department. I worked there for about 3 months. I didn't like that so I went back to the Grounds. I spent another probably 11 years on the Grounds. Then I moved to the Carpenter shop. Then after 4 years, the locksmith that was doing all the work on campus used to work here and he started his own business and his rates were going up and up so they offered it to me if I was interested. I said I'd love to learn another trade and Wheaton said we'll pay for your school and if you get certified, you have the job. So I ended up getting my diploma and I've been doing the locksmith stuff now for about 23–24 years.
What is the best thing about your job?
The best thing about my job is seeing a lot of different people, working with all the departments, which I like because I get along with everybody and everybody gets along with me. I like doing the locksmith job here at the college.
What is your favorite food and where is the best place in the area to get it?
My favorite is prime rib at the Chateau.
If an alien landed in Norton, where would you take them?
I'd take them out fishing because that's what I like to do a lot. Saltwater fishing—for reefers, stripers, bluefish.
What is the funniest thing you've ever seen happen at Wheaton?
The funniest thing was me one day. They were doing some work in the old pool at Balfour-Hood and we were fixing the ceiling tiles. We had to build a platform over the pool so we could put some staging on it. Well, they were also replacing the diving board. Nobody told me that they had taken most of the screws out of it. So, I stepped on the diving board and guess what happened? Tim went in the pool, clothes and all. The radio—everything was soaked. That was probably the funniest thing that ever happened to me.

Oscar winner John Cox on The Shuffle
16 May 2013 , 6:32 PM by nicole gundi
Who would have thought that watching King Kong as a 14 year old could change your life?
It did for John Cox. At that very moment he decided that he wanted to make creatures for the movies.
At 21 he was a props assistant on Mad Max 2 and in the 90's a long came Babe.
He brought to life the farmyard animals to life and he won an Oscar Award for it.
We invited John, who specialises in Animatronics and Visual Effects, to be our guest on The Shuffle.
These are the four songs he chose to help tell his life story.
1. 'Abraham, Martin and John'- Dion
In 1968-69 John was in grade six watching the moon landing, playing soccer with his friends and lying on the lounge room floor listening to this song. His dad got him interested in music and John says "the tv was never on around 7 o'clock at night" so he'd lie on the lounge room floor and fall asleep listening to music.
2. 'Lay my love'- Eno/Cale from the album 'Wrong Way Up'
"If I didn't put this one in my wife would kill me". In 1995 just after he finished working on Babe he met 'Julie' and 9 and a half weeks later he married her. Going back from 95 to the 80's John set about to find all the singles that he grew up with. When he met Julie after the second week she had this song in her head but she didn't know what it was. It turned out to be from the tv series Northern Exposure. They looked for the credits and it was Eno/Cale, 'Lay my Love'. John remembers thinking, "hang on, I'm sure I've got an Eno/Cale album because there was on their songs spinning away that I really loved." He then went over to the CD rack, pulled it out and found the track. This song was their wedding song.
3. 'Little Wonders'- Rob Thomas
He discovered this song when he was at the movies watching Meet the Robinsons. He knew it had "computer animation stuff" in it so he was keen to see it. John fell in love with the song but didn't know it had already been out radio for the last 6 or 7 months, "I completly missed it". This song takes John back to when his son was 9 years old. "It's just that period when kids are a certain age that you really remember them, because they grow up, he's now 15 and completly different. That particular song really brings back to me that age that he was and we were such great friends."
4. 'Viva la Vida'- Coldplay
This is John's European Summer song. In 2008 there was no work around so he cashed in his frequent flyer points and went to Europe.
When he was there this song came out and it was playing everywhere and in every country they visited but they had to wait till they got back "to try to figure out what the heck the song was."

Dear Wilson,
I am also very interested in generating noise with mathematica, because I
am thinking to simulate an experiment regarding "stocastic resonance".
So can you please tell me how do you simulate white, pink ... noise
and, moreover, do you already have the way of calculating the power
spectrum of the noise (just to check that everythin is o.k. ...)?

Who remembers when:
Everybody was proud to be an American, proud of our president, our government, and our flag?
A person, elected to office, took an oath to uphold the Constitution and meant it?
Government was a gentle servant, not a fearful master?
"Big Brother" was a figment of the imagination, not a terrifying reality?
A policeman was your friend and would protect you, not "seize" your property?
"Jack-booted thugs" referred to Nazis, not U.S. Government agents?
The government didn't kill innocent citizens?
Life in prison meant just that?
A death sentence didn't mean 15 to 20 years on "death Row" at the expense of millions of dollars a year?
A person didn't have to convert his home into a fortified prison to be "safe" from crime?
Law-abiding citizens had as many rights as vicious criminals?
We had low taxes and high employment?
A man could earn enough that his wife could stay home and care for the children?
Illegitimacy and abortion were very rare?
Children were taught the "three R's" in school, not "new math" and revisionist history?
Kids went to school without guns, knives and other dangerous objects?
There were NO drugs in schools?
Schools were operated to provide education for children, not lucrative jobs for the employees?
Bible believing Christians were considered to be the standard for morality, not "dangerous radical religious right-wing bigots?"

April 9, 2014
KNOXVILLE - For the first time in her career, Caitlyn Williams has been named the Southeastern Conference Co-SEC Player of the Week after her outstanding play against LSU and Arkansas.
The honor is the second weekly SEC honor of Williams' career after being named Freshman of the Week on March 7, 2012.
Williams becomes the first Player of the Week honoree since Brynn Boren garnered the honors on March 13, 2013.
In her official return to singles action after battling an injury this spring, Williams fought to a 7-6 (5), 6-2 victory, her first of the 2014 spring season, and the match clincher against LSU on Friday night.
Williams was close to capturing her second straight match point on Sunday just one point away against Yang Pang of Arkansas (6-0, 5-3) when Laurence Guevremont earned the honors on court four.
The Knoxville native was also undefeated in doubles action, helping the Lady Vols to sweep the doubles point on the weekend, the first time UT has done so in SEC action this season.
Williams, and partner Joanna Henderson, ranked 75th in the country, easily defeated their opponents from the No. 1 spot 8-2 Friday and 8-1 on Sunday for their 10th and 11th doubles wins as a partnership on the year.
Sunday's win was Williams' 40th career doubles victory and her 30th with Henderson.

Re: 1978-firegoat
Wes, did you have a shirt version of this? They can't print it unless you put it on a shirt template in your 600x600 detail version. Also, It looks like a scan of an ink drawing. It needs to be reworked into printable layers so they know what to print and what color. And I think you may be off on your Zodiac year. 1978 is officially the year of the horse. Sheep/Goat is 1979 which is the year my brother was born.

This is a resub of an earlier entry. The red shirt did not work well, so after trying several shirt colors, I'm resubbing on a brown shirt.
The year I was born Mt. Etna, a Sicilian volcano erupted. My grandmother is Sicilian, so this event resonated with me.
Italy and Sicily (with Mt. Etna in red) is diagonally across from the volcano erupting.

Firstly, you need to draw the piece yourself, not use photography. They reject anything they can prove is taken directly from a photo. Secondly, it's really pixelated even for a photograph. Next, you have too many colors in the piece. Woot can only print 6 colors for any given design. Lastly, the title needs to have the year in it. You have a lot of the derby rules against you in this piece. I'd try actually drawing it out and resubmitting it.

I'm so buying this shirt.

Re: 1989
Does anyone notice the topography of this shirt? Look a little odd? Cool design though!
I checked out the other rejected entries, and I think you guys are all correct. I'll probly get rejected cause my images make a number... Dang... Kinda ruins the design tho if it's not a number in the aliens... there's really nothing clever about a bitmapped starship shooting aliens without seeing the number in the aliens. Too bad... Does anyone have any great ideas on how it could be redesigned and resubbed?
cool idea... I wonder if might be better on a grey shirt or a color similar to the uniforms in the movie?

Of course not. They'd be horrible lawyers. If I thought they were love-and-peace hippies, I wouldn't have looked into intellectual property case study again for this piece. Yes, the piece should remind people of LoZ because that's my take on the theme. If it didn't represent LoZ, I would've been rejected for being off theme. They can sue, but I'd be interested to know how they plan to stake a claim on the combination of objects that are found in RPGs everywhere.
I saw this earlier in the forums and thought it was great! And then I looked again more closely and I can't say I'm too crazy about that border. I don't know, it just seems a little too elementary in comparison to the beautiful etching you did on the chess piece. Maybe resub with a different border? I wouldn't take the whole border away because then it'd be a bit too empty.

Looks a little low, but i never see myself from that angle Lol.
Can you shoot a side profile too.
Looks a tad low to me also.
Yeah too low there should be about an inch of the strap coming out of the backplate.
a side shot would be great but it looks like all you need is to pu the straps up an inch or two. Did you use the measurements I posted on your other thread to place the hooks?
Thanks! Adjusted the straps about an inch or two. Should be good to go. This is heavier than I expected.........
Cool. what pack is it? Mine is a MOW and about 6-7lbsid say. But i know people who have used 12lb packs...and i recall Jeremy Bulloch himself being shocked at how light the MOW pack was on the suit TDH built for him. Apparently the screen used pack was very heavy!
Good to see you finally wearing that thing butterbean. I reiterate what I said in you paint up thread on it, that is one sweet looking paintjob you did on that

Recently I passed my Cambridge CELTA course in Oxford and I am now seeking employment. I have applied to BKC in Moscow and have completed the pre-interview task to their satisfaction. The next stage is an interview by Skype that will be taking place on Friday the 11th of May. After reading their website I have prepared the following list of questions to ask them.
1) What levels of student will I be teaching?
2) Ditto age groups.
3) What are the class sizes?
4) To help me plan ahead, what information will you be able to give me on the above, and on individual students before I take up my post?
5) What is the dress code for teachers?
6) What classroom facilities do you have, e.g. white board, DVD/cassette players, TV/digital projection, computers/wifi/internet?
7) What will be my usual hours of work?
How many sites will I be teaching at and how much travelling per day will this involve?
9) What is the school policy with regard to placement tests for students?
10) My knowledge of the Cyrillic alphabet is non existent. How familiar are the students likely to be with the Roman and Phonemic alphabets?
11) Is the accommodation provided fully furnished? Does this include bedding, a washing machine cookery/eating utensils and internet/wifi facilities?
12) Is there likely to be a laundrette/drycleaners nearby?
If anyone reading this post has experience of working for BKC or in Moscow, I would be grateful if he or she could give me answers to any of the above and suggest what other questions I should be asking. BKC have asked me whether I would prefer to work in Moscow or in one of the smaller towns. What advice could anyone give me here? The place Zelnograd has also been mentioned. Is this a good area or somewhere to avoid?
If you have read this far into my post, thank you very much indeed. I look forward to receiving any advice or information that you may be able to give me.
I look forward to hearing from you.

|i took up skateboarding this summer, at 30 years old. it has been slow, not terribly painful, but my progress isn't very good. I can ollie, that's about it. oh well. it's keeping me in decent shape (actually lost about 10 pounds this summer and I haven't been to the gym in months) so hopefully that translates to the slopes this winter.
Skateboarding has always been something I wanted to take up but I've never really got into it. Bikes have always been my main focus, which is probably why I never felt the need to really try it. I do have a decent deck I bought a couple years ago under my bed just incase, where I live now there is much more trees then concrete however....
If the snowboard withdrawals get any worse I might have to break it out
|I too took a skateboarding hiatus until this year. Mine was about 5 years. It has definitely been a re-learning experience for me, but I feel confident on my board now like I did 5 years ago. Worst fall I had was trying to pivot turn on a big 8 foot quarter that has about a foot of vert. I came in to fast, hung up on my turn, and fell straight from the top to the flat. I got some scrapes from it for sure. The scrapes and bruises heal, although admittedly, at almost 30 they take a little longer. However, between riding my skate deck, getting into longboarding, and riding my skimboard, my feet haven't left a board all summer except to go to work. I'm so stoked for winter right now though it's unbelievable. Maybe I should stop watching That's It, That's All everyday.....NAH! I love being stoked for winter!
i also tried my hand at skateboarding recently after a 3 year pause (due to snowboarding, but that really isnt a good excuse)
much to my chagrin, i thought i could skate like i used to and ended up makin an ass out of myself at the local park in oxnard.
here i am a few weeks later and im learning tricks i never attempted before. makes me that much more stoked about the upcoming season
my logic is telling me that if i can get ballsy on rails and concrete, attempting 5's and 7's on snow should be a cakewalk
|That video is great!
|Traveler, I am right there with you. This silly old man tried his hand at the skate park after a 10+ year lay off. This was right after they opened the Denver skate park. I was going early in the morning as I didn't want to deal with the crowds and the young 'uns who actually ripped. I was riding the peanut vert pool for a couple of weeks. One day I dropped in, hung up somehow and had a nice hip slam on the concrete. Scraped myself up, licked my wounds and limped home. I said I was going back after I healed, that was 6 years ago. Silly old man...
|Suburban Blend
Skateboarding (after an 11 year pause)
I've had a great 09/10 season on the mountain and when I came back to the city I decided to take up board-related sports, new and old, to keep fit and to keep the fun going. As a consequence of this decision I've become something of a regular poster in the slams section. So, here's another one...
I bought a brand spanking new skateboard a couple of days ago, complete with a new set of skateboarding shoes. The first day I went down not expecting to be able to do much but ended up doing 50-50s, ollies, a couple of kickflips and 180's as well as pumping up and down the ramps in the skatepark. It was fun to get a few things back so quickly after such a long pause.
Today, I went to the park again and, eager to keep progressing, stepped things up a bit beyond what I used to know. For me this meant hitting all the transitions they have in the park, including the monster mini which looks more like a fucking vert. Eventually I fucked up on the quarter - I pressed down on the nose of the board as I was coming back down the ramp riding fakie and the board just slid out underneath me. I ended up doing the splits (my right knee twisted) and just saved my face from slamming the concrete with my left wrist. We'll see how really painful it is tomorrow when I sober up. After only two days of skateboarding I'm beat up and whining like a little bitch. Bring back the snow I'm ready for it right now!

This guest house structure is part a two-phase project on an oceanfront site. Located on the street side of the property, the apartment sets the tone for changes to take place on the main residence. The existing main house was originally conceived in the 1970s, with a later addition in the 1980s. The guest house itself is a simple two-story structure with shifted volumes; the upstairs apartment consists of two bedrooms, two baths, and a kitchen/sitting room. The apartment is accessed through the exterior slot between the garage and the storage laundry functions below. Entirely clad in fiber cement panels and glazing, the structure orients itself toward the west and the main house, pool, garden, and ocean. The side facing the driveway limits openings to provide privacy for the guests. Designed as a rainscreen clad structure, the intent is for the house to breathe better while offering long term protection from the elements. Solar protection was taken into account, with the use of overhangs, to block the rays in the summer.

Hi guys,
I teach an advanced adult who requires only speaking classes from me. We've been having classes for almost a year and I've started to run out of ideas. We've already covered all controversial topics, gone through personal stuff:)...anybody has any ideas what I can do, maybe some ready-to-use materials? I'm thinking problem to solve, conversation questions or any others. I'll be really grateful for any - I can also send by e-mail some useful teaching materials.
Thanks in advance

You don't want to pay thousands of dollars to a mechanic to do a routine repair on your car or truck. That's understandable. Everyone has heard the horror stories of getting ripped off by an unethical car repair shop. You plan to do it yourself, like so many others in this increasingly DIY economy. That's great.
But where are you going to get the information you need to make the repair? How do you know what sources are trustworthy? There are hundreds of forums online filled with free advice — free because it's from the forum members who are rarely trained mechanics. There are even blogs and websites with step-by-step instructions, but how trustworthy are they? Were those posts written by freelance writers in foreign countries who got paid a few dollars or by an experienced mechanic who has worked … Read the rest

The first half of the session the party managed to talk to some clerks of the association running the Necropolis. Here the rich have their mausoleums and
crypts. The poor are simply thrown into the sea of fire. The association guards the graveyards from necromancers and grave robbers. The party talks, asks
around, finds another clerk, bribes him with 200 gp, talks about the possibilities of special rituals, other gods, and finally the clerk guides them through
vaults and labyrinths into the depth of the necropolis. Apparently the very rich will build crypts down here and safeguard their last resting place using
strong magic. Finally the party arrives past a hall of heroes at a secret temple of Orcus. A six pointed star, a pool of lava, four stairs leading to a raised
platform above the lava, a statue of Orcus in the background… Some more talking and 1000 gp later the clerk will organize a ceremony of thanksgiving and prayer
for the party. Highpriest Zehn will lead the ceremony and there will be an opportunity to talk to him as well. Next week, same place. Two goats are sacrificed,
a chorus of Orcus priests sings, the blood is smeared on Orcus' belly, the high priest and a Vrock pray, the party mumbels the Abyssal words of gratitude
and servitude - all except for the two good characters who keep staring into the ground. Saito then has a long conversation with Zehn, full of inuendos and
unspoken understandings. Yes, if the body of the old sultan were found, and if his wife Cirreshade were there, then possibly one could speak with him, if some
higher ups were to agree, given that finding either of these two would probably be high treason… Some information regarding the Dead City of the Sultana is
On the way back, the party is ambushed by a party of Set followers. When the fight was nearly over, Saito was stabbed to death by one of the fighters. The
wizard survived the fight and surrendered at the very end as his Stoneskin was starting to fail him.
The necropolis based on my improvisation, the temple of Orcus based on the Upper Temple of Rappan Athuk 2. The ambush by the followers of Set based on the battle slaves pages 395 to 397 with
their normal equipment.

What was the punishment that the player's were threatened with? Did they actually kill off a patrol of the city guard, or was the patrol working for
Set's temple? If they killed off some of the city guard, are you going "to let them get away with it?" Or will they be sentenced with a heavy
fine and maybe some sort of quest?
The burning sea idea sounds cool. Is that also in the City of Brass box, or homebrewed?
Your posts are really making me consider moving up the City of Brass adventures in my planar campaigns to earlier than I'd planned.

The session consisted of a mission from the Samaghar salamanders. One of their agents in the efreet outpost Mansoor on the Plane of Fire had gone missing.
Its name is Xenophon, and it is to be rescued or terminated. The same night Saito had a dream: Pazuzu came and told him to kill somebody called Garulan - a life for a life and all that. This was followed by some color scenes in the harbor and on
the sea of fire: The herbalist and news dealer called Aroon, the small transporter run by captain Abdul-Latif and his three efreeti and his fifteen azer
slaves, the oily sea turning into a roarding fire storm on the second day, how the efreeti don't eat, are loyal servants of the sultan, etc.
There's another passenger on the ship called Garulan. I was using a female nymph assassin from one of the later Dungeon magazines. The plot was that she
had done great evil, had used Pazuzu's help, and was now trying to repent. Pazuzu wanted Saito to kill her before she had time to redeem herself, making
sure that her soul belonged to the demon lord. Saito did not tell the others and decided not to kill the woman, so now I'll have to think of complications.
I think I'm going to use vrock assassins sent by Pazuzu (there's the Pazuzu temple in the City of Brass that I will use) who will try to kill Saito in
a future session. Anyway, Garulan knows of a secret portal in Mansoor, uses it, and leaves the game.
In Mansoor, the party asks around and eventually ends up in a fight with 15 flamebrother salamanders, 6 average salamanders, 2 firefiends, and 2 noble
salamanders. It goes badly for the party because after some initial mistakes the second noble salamander manages to protect itself with a summonned huge fire
elemental and casts maximized enlarged fireballs at the party. More details in my session report.

What the heck happened? DM burnout due to high level gaming? Scheduling issues with the players? Some huge campaign meltdown?

Empowering super teachers
Tuesday, July 9, 2013
It's summertime. School is out and many kids will be cooling off with a trip to the movies to see their favorite superheroes' latest adventures.
Little do they know, Kentucky's real-life superheroes – our teachers – are spending time this summer sharpening their skills to become even more effective in their classrooms. KET is equipping teachers with engaging, standards-based multimedia and professional development to foster a dynamic digital classroom.
This week, on July 9 and 10, hundreds of teachers will attend KET's annual Multimedia Professional Development conference at our Network Center in Lexington, home to our AT&T Media Lab and digital HD production facilities. KET staff and leading educators will provide teachers hands-on training in the effective use of video production, apps, iPads, social media for education, and more.
And all year long, throughout the Commonweath, KET serves all of Kentucky's school districts with professional development. Our six education consultants travel to schools, delivering expert training for teachers in the use of digital technology and educational resources, as well as in media literacy. Last year, KET provided in-person training to more than 9,000 teachers and pre-service teachers.
Kentucky's teachers, our true "Wonder Women" and "Supermen," make a heroic difference for our children and our state's future. They inspire students to question and analyze, and teach communication and collaboration skills, synthesis, and creativity. These tools are at the core of KET's professional development services, and help teachers to equip Kentucky's students as successful citizens in a rapidly changing world.

Andre Ward: "I have a new arsenal. I have a lot of power in both hands!"
Story by Robert Hough
Photos by Tri Nguyen
For a long while Andre Ward's been a Ford pickup guy, living a life of a man driving his truck to work in the pre-dawn light, staying late, keeping it humble. Ward still drives a Ford pickup and grinds it, but there's another car in his garage — a Porsche Panamera – which reflects another side of the man who's months from turning thirty.
On November 16th, four years after dominating Mikkel Kessler and winning the WBA super-middleweight title, Ward (26-0, 14 KOs), who drove his truck to that fight in Oakland when titles and German cars were hopes and dreams, faces Edwin Rodriguez (24-0, 16 KOs) on HBO at Citizens Business Bank Arena, in Ontario, Calif.
"A lot's happened in those four years," Ward said to FightNews. "Don't get me wrong, I'm blessed, grateful and fortunate, but it's been a lot of hard work in the gym; injuries; a major shoulder injury that's kept me out for over a year; new challenges like broadcasting, which I love; and trying to grow and learn as a man with a wife and a family. You always want to get smarter and learn."
One thing hasn't changed and won't: Staying fit between camps, however much time passes between them, max effort in camps and a professional approach.
The fighter kept it simple with talking about the upcoming fight. "Rodriguez is to be respected, we've studied him, we have no time for an opponent's chatter and we'll be ready."
The fast, shiny car; looking impeccable while working as a ringside commentator on HBO, which he started doing earlier this year; endorsement deals; and working to get his ring attire just right are part of his evolution – while being himself.
"I'm never going to be somebody else," said the 29-year old San Francisco native, who said loudly and with a smile that he still has a few months left of being in his 20s. "I'm learning about all kinds of things and learning about myself, and I feel more like an adult than a young man, but I'm still me. The fans won't buy it if it's not authentic."
While he's long talked about being financially responsible, Ward said getting the Porsche Panamera, that starts at $76,825, wasn't him being silly.
"You have to enjoy life," he said, quickly adding, "But I am always cognizant of life after boxing. I'm still earning, I'm still working and I'm still saving. I'm not trying to enjoy myself too much."
Ward also has a major deal with Nike's Jordan brand. While visiting the Nike headquarters, he has learned more about apparel design and the business processes, which has helped to refine his look.
"I have my own style, which I'd say is clean, sharp, pretty low-key, and it's been amazing to work with the Jordan people to learn more about clothes, shoes and the business side," he detailed. "I want to look good in a way that reflects who I am. People say when you look good you feel good and they're right."
On a day when Apple talked of its new iPad Air, Ward sat some 20 miles east of where the company introduced its latest devices and lit up when he talked about another Air-based concept: Air Ward shoes.
Ward loves shoes.
Like some musicians dream of being on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine, Ward is among the athletes who hunger for having their own model of footwear.
"They've made boxing shoes for me, but it's not my own shoe, from scratch," he said. "My dream, my desire is to have my own boxing shoe from scratch. To have my own boxing shoe would be unbelievable. There are a lot of things you want to accomplish in the sport and that's a big one. It's something I'm pushing for and they're trying to make it happen."
Preparing for the showdown with Rodriguez has included getting the ring attire prepared, plus a little surprise.
"I was going to wear a touch of snakeskin on my trunks, but when I got together with the Jordan team, they said we can't do that because Jordan has a phobia for snakes," Ward explained.
The width and breadth of thinking and planning that goes into athletic shoes and apparel has surprised the fighter.
"They have teams for every little thing," he said. "It's heavy, but I love it."
And he won't deny liking free shoes for himself and his family, up to four children now. But as fast as Ward related that he didn't pay for his youngest son's flashy Nikes, he added, "They were not for free: A lot of my blood, sweat and tears went into them!"
A whole lot's gone into getting fit and staying motivated after major surgery in early January to repair his right shoulder, the champion admitted.
"The process of getting back to the ring has been like no other," he said. "I've had setbacks in almost ten years as a professional, but nothing like this. This was a major injury and it was grueling not just physically, but mentally."
Longtime trainer Virgil Hunter said the rehab and determination came almost entirely from his fighter.
"He did that all on his own," said the trainer. "He took the initiative on his own. I just supported him and I was there for him when he needed me."
Some of the time away was filled by broadcasting on HBO, which fueled his desire to get in the ring.
"I was fortunate to broadcast ringside, with guys fighting in and around my weight, so I could keep a close eye on 'em, but that made me miss it more," said Ward, who wants to fight at least twice in 2014. "The fans, every time I'd see them in person at the fights or through social media, it's great that they're interested, and they were always asking when I'd be back. Those things made me want it more and more and more.
"It was a long, long grind."
Both Ward and his promoter – Dan Goossen – agree that negotiations for this fight have ground along for a long time, as well.
"His side was asking for ridiculous things," said Ward, who tried earlier this year to break his contract with Goossen, who's promoted him throughout his nine-year pro career.
Goossen played the diplomat, relative to the matter with Ward and the negotiations to make this fight.
"The negotiations for Rodriguez were tough, but that's what negotiations are," he said. "They're going to fight for what they want and we're going to do the same. It got done and now we can look forward to a good fight.
"Rodriguez is tough, he's hungry," Goossen described. "He has the look of someone who's going to come out and let his hands go, so Andre's going to have to be sharp from the first second of the first round."
Ward was sharply displeased by Rodriguez's call for pre-fight drug testing , which the challenger initially made at the kickoff press conference.
"I'm glad you asked about that," said Ward, the 2004 Olympic gold medalist at light heavyweight, who addressed the matter at some length and with no small measure of intensity, calling it a publicity stunt at least a dozen times. "These things were never brought up during negotiations, when he was asking for a gazillion dollars, and then he gets in front of the media at the press conference, and it's simple: It's a publicity stunt. It's a publicity stunt!
Had the matter been addressed in contract negotiations, they probably would have agreed on testing, Ward said.
Don't think, though, that his refusal to go along with Rodriguez's request and a low-key approach to the matter reflects a nonchalant attitude about drugs and testing.
"You don't see me doing a million interviews trying to justify myself because I know where I stand," he said. "I don't broadcast this stuff and publicize this stuff. When you know how you live and what you do and don't do, you can sleep good at night."
No question, performance-enhancing drugs are a serious concern to Ward.
"I understand the craze," he said. "You don't want to think this stuff is going on in boxing and there hasn't really been a history of this in boxing, but I've had to wake up in the last year."
"Hopefully random blood and urine testing will start with my next fight and continue until I retire," he said.
Ward believes there are no drug-related concerns for either fighter.
"In my heart, I thought he was clean," said Ward, who's anxious to sit down and talk with Dr. Margaret Goodman, a longtime ringside physician who leads the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association, a leading drug-testing organization, and learn more. "When he was pressed at the press conference, he said he thought I'm clean."
So why not agree, and make a statement about a serious commitment to testing?
"It's a principled stance that I'm taking," Ward said.
How so?
"Simple; we are not going to do things on your terms. He needs to understand that he is the challenger."
Ward understands what that means when it comes to fighting.
"I was in his position in 2009, a hungry challenger, when I fought Kessler," said Ward.
"The difference is that Kessler took me lightly," he said. "I know my opponent. I do my research on guys. They think they're catching me at the right time. Edwin Rodriguez never looked our way and he thinks this is the right time to get me, but he's wrong. I feel completely different and better, like I have a new arsenal. I have a lot of power in both hands."
There should be lots of opportunities to unleash that power it in 2014 at 168 pounds or at 175, a move that's bound to happen at some point.
"I wanted to move up a year or so ago and Virgil talked me out of it," Ward said. "Virgil told me, 'Not yet; when you start walking around at 190, in shape, or 185, in shape, we'll talk about it,' but moving up is something on my radar."
Physical realities will have more of an effect on that decision than the financial prospects, Ward said.
"The boxing game is always moving; light heavyweight is tough right now, there are a lot of good fighters and match-ups at 175, but we'll see," he outlined. "Of course I want lucrative fights, everyone does, but I'm not going to punish my body and weaken myself or lose my speed, power and stamina for a fight at a particular weight. I'll stay smart and keep working"
Kazak middleweight Gennady Golovkin, the WBA and IBO middleweight champion has impressed fans with vicious knockouts and said he'd fight anyone at 160 or 168, though Ward doubts the man dubbed Triple G is ready for S.O.G.
"Ask Triple G if he wants it," he said.
Golovkin is the latest in a series of threats, and there will be more, Ward thinks.
"People say there's nobody to fight. I don't believe it," he said. There's always going to be this monster out there, this boogeyman. Golovkin can fight. I look at his strengths and acknowledge them – and I watch him and think, 'He can be had right there. He can be had.'"
Whether Ward and Golovkin have at it or not, a great thing about boxing is that intriguing match-ups always come along, Goossen said.
"Whatever weight you're talking about, there's always a new guy out there who rises to a certain level and people say, 'That's the fight I want to see,'" Goossen predicted.
As those challenges inevitably present themselves in the coming years, how much longer will Ward keep taking them on? He's spoken of having an amount in mind to amass in savings and walking away from boxing when he gets there.
"I don't know when I'm going to retire," he admitted. "I am cognizant of the fact that I've been in the boxing ring for twenty years."
When fans and media members see fights, what they don't see and don't necessarily appreciate is the physical toll that goes into preparing for them, he added.
"We all take punches, in here," he said, relaxed against the ring ropes in King's Gym. "Nobody sees this gym work. I'm sparring three different sparring partners, going twelve rounds. You don't know how many punches you take in there.
"Who knows what grade of concussion it is when you get buzzed and you bite down and pull through – in here. When we go to war in here, nobody sees it. That's where the damage is done. Going in here sparring three times a week, 10 rounds, 12 rounds, sometimes 15 rounds and people don't see that.
"People will see a performance and some people don't like it and say all these things. The thing is, nobody gets to see the preparation, and that's the tough part.
"A lot of time, the media wants to push these guys as warriors and they are. All fighters are warriors. You can be a warrior, a fearless guy, but there's life after boxing," stated Ward.
So what will Ward do with his life after boxing?
Hard to say, said the man who has expressed a passion for broadcasting and serious interest in being a pastor, having his own ministry.
"You gotta know what's for you and what's not for you," concluded Ward.

Asli Bayram's parents migrated from Turkey to Germany in hope of finding a better life. She was born and raised in Germany, but although being a very attractive woman, she is very aware how racism feelings against those of Turkish backgrounds are still common in her adopted land. She became the first Muslim to be selected as Miss Germany, but during her life, she has always found fascination in the story of Anne Frank, another girl who was persecuted by Germans. Ms. Bayram also was confronted at age 12 by terrorism when a drunken neo-Nazi came to their door and fired his gun resulting in the death of her father and the wounding of Asli. The killer got a six year sentence but received time off and was free after only serving three years.
Her mother insisted that Asli and her three sisters received and education which resulted in all four graduating from law school. However, throughout her school career the girls felt isolated in school and had to maintain their dignity by hard work. Asli entered the Miss Germany contest because it angered her that only blond haired girls won, but somehow she emerged as the victor.
Ms. Bayram often gives readings from the Diary of Anne Frank in order to demonstrate her concern for social justice and to fight against racism in Germany.

A trio of Pittsburgh Steelers' running backs did not practice on Wednesday. Rashard Mendenhall (Achilles) and Isaac Redman (ankle) were both held out due to injury while Jonathan Dwyer was excused for non-specific personal reasons. Dwyer was Pittsburgh's featured back in Week 7, rushing for 122 yards on 17 carries. Both Mendenhall and Redman have not played since Oct. 11, but head coach Mike Tomlin feels both players "have a chance to play" on Sunday against the Washington Redskins.
Fantasy Analysis:
For now, Dwyer has the best shot to be starting for the Steelers against an inept Redskins' defense. Washington has been solid against the run (seventh in the NFL) and awful against the pass (32nd). Since Redskins LB London Fletcher might be unable to play this week, his absence would only benefit Pittsburgh's rushing attack. Mendenhall and Redman are both expected to practice in some capacity this week so this situation will be something to monitor throughout the week.

Gay Republican assaulted for political activism; Update: Hoax
posted at 10:47 am on October 25, 2012 by Dustin Siggins
Update, 10/29 (Ed): Like so many of these kinds of stories, this one turned out to be a hoax. Dustin asked us to update this post with his retraction and apology:
Gay GOP campaign worker recants assault claim, by Dustin Siggins
Last week, I reported on The Daily Caller that Kyle Wood, a gay Republican campaign volunteer, claimed he was hospitalized for his sexuality and political activism. Yesterday evening, however, Kyle recanted his story, according to Madison police. According to The Daily Page, Wood recanted after concerns were raised by police about threatening texts Wood claimed were from the partner of the opponent of the congressional candidate for whom Wood volunteers. The Daily Page reports that Captain Joe Balles of the South District Madison Police Department says the texts never took place.
It now is clear that Kyle lied to me, to other reporters, and to the thousands of people who read my article and the many follow-up blog posts and articles by others. Having known Kyle for a number of months, and spent a number of hours examining his claims, I believed he was telling me the truth and submitted an article to The Daily Caller.
Though it was not my intent, I reported an inaccurate story, and for that I apologize to all readers for being taken in by Wood. His dishonesty has caused harm to the reputations of many respectable individuals and organizations that believed his story, including me.
I have reached out to Wood for an explanation about this whole debacle, but he is not answering e-mails, has deleted his Facebook account, and is not answering his phone.
This morning, Daily Caller was kind enough to publish an article I wrote about a vicious assault done to Kyle Wood, a gay volunteer for a Republican campaign in Wisconsin. Kyle ended up in the hospital:
Kyle Wood, a full-time volunteer working for GOP House candidate Chad Lee, was hospitalized for injuries suffered during what he said was an assault at his home.
Wood told The Daily Caller that vandalism preceding the assault, along with his attacker's statements during the incident, suggested his sexual orientation and his politics each played a role.
"I was getting ready for work and there was a knock at the door," Wood emailed The Daily Caller late Wednesday. "I opened it, and a guy wrapped a ligature around my neck, slammed my head into the doorway, and smashed my face into a mirror, telling me 'You should have kept your [f*******] mouth shut.'"
"He then kidney-punched me, while at the same time saying I was 'warned,' and continued to beat me," he added.
Wood said his attacker's reference to a warning likely pointed to graffiti he found painted on his car last week. The vandalism included the phrases "house trained republican faggot," "traitor," and "ur like a jew 4 hitler."
After he discovered the graffiti, Wood wrote an open letter on Facebook to the unknown vandal. "If you understand either freedom or me at all," he wrote, "you would that this will only make me work harder. … You can think whatever you like about me, but I will not be bullied into voting for a gay man simply because I am gay."
He's also standing up against his unknown assailant:
"I will not be bullied, intimidated or threatened into abandoning my moral values," Wood told TheDC late Wednesday.

Puppy is not very friendly to strangers
I have a 5 month old male Shepherd and I am concerned for he is beginning to develop signs of aggression,I think. He does not do to well when it comes to meeting strangers. When we go on walks he barks at EVERYBODY he sees. There has even been some growling involved. The problem gets worse when he is at home. Whenever anybody comes over, he quickly reacts by barking and growling especially to children. There is no small children at home so he does not have much socialization with them. I know that this breed is known to be extremely protective and I don't mind that, but I am concerned that this will lead to bigger issues later on. I don't know how to handle the situation this is my first time owning the breed. He does well with other dogs. I have take him to puppy socialization classes and he does fairly well with dogs and people there and at parks. I take him everywhere I can and the problem mainly seems to be at home.
He has Always been a very shy and timid puppy I got him at 8 weeks. Could it just be a fear phase he is going through or is he developing signs of aggression?

i'd leave it. i'm more likely just to stop selling a zine rather than edit it. though i have added illustrations when i hadn't gotten them done in time for a show and the zine was really paining me without the. i can see that sometime something i might cut something out that was paining me.

But that's where it ends.
When you're selling a product that competes with stores such as Adorama, B&H, amazon, ect.. ect.. price is probably the most important factor, you have good price, the cameras/lens will sell themselves.
Good luck with the store, it's a great start.
I totally agree, prices are nothing to write home about.

If your feet are dressed in Reebok, you know they're happy! Reebok brings you the most comfortable, trendy sports and active wear. Reebok socks are designed especially for the needs of your feet. Keeping you cool and dry while being comfortable is the top priority of Reebok when it comes to their socks. Slip on a pair and feel the difference!
Reebok began in 1895 when Joseph William Foster made a running shoe with spikes. His company, J.W. Foster and Sons, began to grow as athletes flocked to run faster in these shoes. They were even the first running shoes worn in the 1924 Summer Games. In 1958, Foster's grandsons turned this company into Reebok, named after the African gazelle. The shoes were seen in the UK in the late 1970s by a sports distributor, and quickly began selling in North America. In the late 1990s Reebok grew from a company identified mainly in the track world of sports to a company focused on all sports. The motto of Reebok basically became to be yourself in your sport and show your individuality. Reebok has grown to encompass all sports and sponsor some of the top athletes in the world, and even many celebrities, the first being Jay Z. Reebok has joined with many charities as well as many programs designed for health and fitness. Reebok has rights to manufacture apparel for the NFL and the CFL, as well as the NHL. Reebok is also the official shoe supplier to the MLB. One of the biggest movements to this date, CrossFit formed an alliance with Reebok in 2011. Reebok is known throughout the globe for their movement toward health and fitness, as well as their fashionable, comfortable athletic wear.
Reebok socks are designed with some of the highest technological features for your feet. They are designed special not to bunch or fall off during training. Cool Pass technology is designed to wick away moisture keeping your feet cool and comfortable. Many are constructed with Celliant fibers and Sorbtek technology. Targeted cushioning keeps blisters away. Left and right foot specific engineering gives a better fit and grips the arches for better performance. Odor resistance is included in the construction of many of the socks so you don't have to worry about your feet even after a long day of training. Socks also have soft non-binding cuffs and hand-linked toe seams for added comfort. HisRoom offers quarter socks, low cut socks, crew socks and no show socks.
Reebok wants those that wear it to be comfortable and feel empowered. Living a healthy and active life can simply start by being motivated by comfort. Their socks keep your feet happy so the rest of your body can go longer. Shop HisRoom for the latest styles of Reebok socks.

Well I didn't have any money for this so I decided to scratch buold it from card etc. I found some templates printed them off stook them on card and used some bottles etc for the tubes.
Its not brilliant but I'm happy with it for now I don't intend on wearing the jet pack its used for my lifesize statue.
I may build one from plastic eventually.
Its quite over weathered mainly to try and hide the creases from the paper etc. I went with the ESB colours as my gauntlets are esb gauntlets and it was easier to paint.
Like I said its not brilliant but it didnt cost me anything so I'm happy with it.
Its 26inches tall and 16 inches wide.
Also heres a pic of the complete peice. I need some new gloves and boots eventually.

I am soooo close to being done with my Jango. I'm dumping pics of what I have so far so I can get some feedback. The rest of the pieces hopefully will arrive by the end of this month and I'll be finished. I was trying to delay making this thread until I had everything, but I thought better to get some constructive criticism before piecing the last of it together. Some things to note: 1) I have not weathered the rub n buff on my boots, 2) the cod/holsters/thighs you see in the picture will be replaced by Cruzer's awesome stuff, 3) Flightsuit/upper armor/flak jacket will be by Bobamaker, 4) I have MR Westars which I didn't include a picture of except in the big photo.
Thanks go out to A LOT of you guys who have put up with my questions about little details here and there (saint_nasty, Mandalorian Guard, Mullreel, to name a few). Huge thanks to Seeker since I've tried my best to copy him and beat him over the head for as much information as possible (haha). Thanks to everyone who has made or helped in getting me any piece of my armor. I'll keep this thread updated when the last of it arrives :)
So here is my stuff or soon-to-be stuff, from head to toe:
1) Helmet made by Asok; Painted by Saint_Nasty
2) Flight Suit by Bobamaker
3) Flak Jacket by Bobamaker
4) Collar/Shoulder/Chest/Ab Armor by Bobamaker
5) Gauntlets by Cruzer
6) Gloves by the brand Merona at Target
7) Girth by TLobe00 (this was a beauty when I got it!)
8.) Ammo Belt by Seeker
9) Cod Armor by Cruzer
10) Holsters by Cruzer
11) Thigh Armor by Cruzer
12) Knee Armor w/ darts by Dark-Side (currently have some from an unknown maker)
13) Shin Armor by Cruzer
14) Boot Armor by Cruzer
15) Jetpack by Man of War
16) Back Armor by Cruzer

Seasoned and aspiring professionals representing all lines of work from hazardous waste collection to yo-yo-ing will have their moment on one of the most coveted soapboxes this week. From Feb. 25 to March 1, TED2013 will draw more than 1,000 attendees who have successfully applied for a highly desirable seat in the Long Beach Performing Arts Center, in California, for the annual event.
Architects, engineers, and planners have long been known to take the TED Talk stage. In 1984, the event's premiere year, MIT Media Lab founder Nicholas Negroponte forecasted touchscreen interfaces and interactive media. Frank Gehry, FAIA, discussed his growing body of work at the second TED Talk in 1990. The frequency of TED talks has picked up significantly since then, with sister annual conferences TEDActive and TEDGlobal, and numerous spin-offs such as TEDx Talks, which occur in multiple cities and universities year round.
At this year's conference, themed The Young. The Wise. The Undiscovered., 70-plus speakers from 14 cities around the world will present their ideas for about 12 minutes each, down from the historical 18-minute timeframe. Speakers in the fields of architecture and design include: Leyla Acaroglu, sustainability strategist at Eco Innovators; Yu "Jordy" Fu, a designer who has worked for Future Systems and SOM; Michael Green, who sees wooden skyscrapers as an answer to a more sustainable future; and Alastair Parvin, one of the team members behind WikiHouse, which provides open access construction drawings that can be realized through CNC cutting machines and online collaboration.
To kick of this year's event, below are five memorable calls to action in architectural design and planning from previous TED events. To help narrow down selections from the more than 1,400 presentations available for free, this selection was limited to talks that occurred at the annual TED conference. For more architectural inspiration, check out talks by: Daniel Libeskind, AIAweaetxdyvaydzcwq; lighting designer Rogier van der Heide; Nathaniel Kahn on My Architect; the late Interface CEO Ray Anderson; the late ceramicist Eva Zeisel; and more.
1. Writer and journalist James Howard Kunstler at TED2004 on how architecture caused and can fix suburban sprawl:
2. William McDonough, FAIA, in TED2005 on the Cradle to Cradle design principle for products and systems:
3. Cameron Sinclair, winner of the 2006 TED Prize, co-founder of Architecture for Humanity, on the effect designers can have in relief and humanitarian efforts:
4. Majora Carter on renewing urban communities on a limited budget, but unlimited hope in TED2006:
5. In TED2011, British designer Thomas Heatherwick discussed his belief in bio-inspired design, including the Seed Cathedral for the UK Pavilion for the Shanghai World Expo:

Ok, so my brother has stopped playing paintball, and when he heard I was starting out the sport he's been nice enough to lend me his gear, which includes the System X Vengeance 2.0 Pro Series Marker with the Xonik Frame. I've found the manual to the frame and so I am very comfortable adjusting it and everything, however I still cannot find the manual to the marker itself. I consider myself intelligent and patient, and would like to know the inner workings of the gun so I can maintain and (hopefully not) repair it if necessary. I've seen the one on the manual section here, but I wonder if it is the same as mine (my brother's) because that is for the standard Vengeance marker. Also, are there any informational videos on youtube on how to clean the marker? Any help would be appreciated, as well as thoughts on the marker itself. Oh, and it doesn't have a clamping feedneck on it right now. Where would I go about buying one?

http://paintballgate...et/wgpaufe.html That link is for the feed neck clamp and any other part you need for your autococker. and the only thing you need to do with that cocker is put 2 drops of oil in the asa and air it up. and i would say only do this after every case and a half of paint. you dont need to take it clear apart. and never put oil in the Electronic valve. the main thing you need to clean is the bolt and to take that out just pull the pin and the bolt will come out i like to use paper towels or small pices of a wash rag and push it through the upper tube make it nice and clean.

That's one of the guns I have. It's great and you'll love it. Just watch for the optical trigger. I had some trouble with mine and couldn't figure it out because it would only fire under certain conditions. Turns out sunlight was getting into my grip frame. Anyway, just keep that in mind and you'll be fine. Cleaning it is easy, and don't mess with any of the front pneumatics, ever, unless you know exactly what you're doing. Really the only thing you have to do is remove and lube the bolt, clean out the barrel, and a drop of oil in the ASA. Standard stuff and with the autococker, removing the bolt is very easy. Also, the vengeance manual on the site is still good, and the xonik frame manual can be found here:
(guess you already found it, my bad)
Here's some info that explains how to tweak an E-Blade, which is very similar to the xonik frame. Just don't do any of this until you're sure about what you're doing. Always ask for help if you're unsure and don't do anything if you can't get help.

Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects. The animal on the cover of Windows XP in a Nutshell, Second Edition, is a climbing frog. There are more than 2,600 species of frogs and toads. The general differences between frogs and toads are that frogs jump (toads tend to walk), depend more on access to water, and are slimy (as opposed to dry and warty).Frogs range in size from less than half an inch to almost a foot in length. Frogs are able to survive in diverse surroundings, including water, semi-deserts, and mountains. However, they are not able to survive in salt water and the iciest and driest climates. Frogs metamorphosize from swimming tadpole larvae to their adult form; tadpoles are more vulnerable to predation than are adults. Adult frogs rely on various methods of defense, including flight, poison, and many patterns and colors of camouflage. Frogs breathe and absorb water through their skin, which is shed periodically. Most are nocturnal or twilight animals, and rely more on their sense of vision and smell than hearing. Many species hibernate through the winter months. Despite fairy-tale claims, it has not yet been proven that frog-kissing produces princes.The global frog population has been declining at unprecedented rates in recent years, causing speculation about the overall health of the biosystems from which they are disappearing.

text: I was concidering scratch building a jet pack, but am not sure how you make a mold and cast something that is hollow but has a front and back. I have made molds and cast things like Vader helmets, but those are open on one end. I have a few thoughts on how to do it,but am not really sure. Any one have a link to the process? thanks so much fellow denters!
