Kim Little may have secured a domestic 'treble' and been dubbed the 'new Kelly Smith' in her first full season at Arsenal, but the precocious midfielder did have one major disappointment in 2008/09.
It came in the Uefa Women's Cup when the Gunners were beaten 9-2 on aggregate by Swedish champions Umea in the Quarter-Final. The exit was even harder to swallow given that Arsenal won the first leg 3-2 at Boreham Wood.
But Little, who scored the winning goal on that night, believes that Tony Gervaise's new-look Ladies will be motivated by the memories from Sweden.
"We're obviously looking to retain the 'treble' but I would say definitely Europe is the ambition," she told Arsenal.com.
"Going out last season is definitely a motivation to go further this season. It's a new era for Arsenal Ladies and it will be onwards and upwards from here, hopefully in Europe.
"We didn't play well over in Umea but of course the girls won it in 2007 so they already have a feel for it. It's an incentive because it shows that Arsenal are capable of winning that trophy.
"Playing at the highest standard in Europe is so important so the new Champions League is a massive ambition for us."
Vic Akers made the Smith-Little comparison after Arsenal's League Cup Final victory over Doncaster in February. On her contribution last season, it's easy to see why.
But for the 18-year-old, being compared to the world's fifth best player is a little hard to comprehend.
"Yes it's a massive compliment – and I'm not too sure about that," she laughed.
"Kelly's a great, great player and I'm some way off. But I just want to improve at a club like Arsenal. I take it onboard but I try not to think much about it.
"I played alongside her for just under a year and I loved watching her play. Everything she did was so good; the tempo of her play, the way she kept the ball and the way she scored goals out of nothing.
"You can look at her, see what she's doing, then try and put it into your own game a bit. It was great having players like her to learn from. Not only technically but in terms of awareness as well."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

You've heard the refrain: If the government ran healthcare, it would be just like the U.S. Postal Service. And nobody wants that.
Or do we? The USPS, an independent government agency, is the convenient butt of jokes regarding poor service, rude employees, and occasional government mangling of personal property. It routinely borrows from the government to cover operating losses and endures disruptive political meddling in basic management decisions.
Despite the disparaging clichés, however, the Postal Service has some attributes that might make it a strong model for healthcare. It provides a basic service that's not available from the private sector.
Because of federal law.
To people without health coverage, postal-style healthcare might be a lot better than none at all. If service in a government healthcare plan turned out to be surly, that might even be a good thing: It would ensure a healthy market for better-run private plans, reducing fears of a government takeover. Oh, yeah, there's one other thing: In customer satisfaction surveys, the Postal Service already scores higher than health insurers.
Postal put-downs imply that private-sector businesses are more prompt, courteous, and efficient than anything run by the government. But that's not always true. Some companies prioritize quality and service, but others have a habit of cutting corners to reduce costs and increase profits. That's why shoppers struggle at the self-checkout line in grocery and home-improvement stores, and it takes forever to get a live human on the customer-support hotline. Microsoft is one of the most profitable companies in the world, but when was the last time a friendly employee came on the line to help you solve a problem with Windows or Excel? Instead, Microsoft shunts you off to its help and support Web site to hunt around for solutions. (Maybe that's one reason it's so profitable.)
The Postal Service may not seem all that efficient, but it does one important thing pretty well: Transport a letter between any two addresses in the United States for less than a dollar, usually in three days or less.
Because the tax payers pay billions.
It's such a mundane task that we take it for granted. But if a private-sector firm wanted to compete across-the-board with the Postal Service, it would have to build a humongous infrastructure able to reach every household in America, six days a week. No company wants to do that.
Oh sure.
Firms like FedEx and UPS compete with some of the services the Postal Service offers. That's because they've targeted parts of the delivery business that can be profitable if run efficiently. But they want nothing to do with universal mail delivery, which would be a guaranteed money-loser. Gee, that sounds a lot like insurance companies that want to cherry-pick the profitable parts of the healthcare business, offering care to healthy people with employers who can help pay the premiums while steering clear of people with costly problems or less money to spend.
In the mail business, the Postal Service is the deliverer of last resort, required by law to provide a "fundamental service" to the American people "at fair and reasonable rates." But our healthcare system doesn't have a last-resort provider offering basic service at reasonable rates. As a nation, we support universal mail delivery but not universal healthcare.
Amtrak, another favored target of government-bashers, is also a dark-horse model for a federal healthcare plan. Sure, critics deride the government-run railroad for indifferent staff, creaky equipment, and weak financial performance. Yet the only thing worse than Amtrak is--every other mode of mass transportation. On many of its routes, Amtrak competes directly with the airlines, which prove their private-sector superiority every day through negligible meal service, surprise fees, packed planes, and seats designed for supermodels. Even with spartan service, the airlines struggle to earn a profit. A ride on Amtrak, with its cushy seats and unhurried ambience, makes you wonder if maybe the government should start an airline.
It's legitimate to ask whether taxpayer dollars should support rail service or mail delivery (or healthcare). But if you're the customer, who cares? Does anybody look up the company's annual report before choosing a cable provider or deciding where to buy a phone? Or choosing a doctor or health insurance plan? Nope. What we care about is service and quality, which often conflicts with profitability because it's expensive.
Because we are not spending tax payer money on these companies.
Let's just assume that if there ever is a federal healthcare option, it will be as inefficient as we consider the post office to be. So what? If service were poor, plan participants would have an incentive to look elsewhere for care, the way most businesses requiring quick package delivery choose FedEx or UPS over the Postal Service. Since private plans would presumably be more efficient, they'd have a built-in competitive advantage and would still appeal to employers and individuals who can afford their own coverage. The postal-style plan, meanwhile, would provide basic service to a lot of people who couldn't get it anywhere else--while providing fresh fodder, valid or not, for the late-night comedians.
What a dumb article.

- GNOME 3.4 and KDE SC 4.8: Fedora 17 will rebase to the latest from the two most popular desktop managers in Linux. Both of them bring significant improvements/enhancements, so in both cases it is already interesting to try Fedora 17 just to enjoy the latest from each.
- Firewalld:
firewalldwill become the default firewall solution. The services iptables, iptables-ipv6 and ebtables will be replaced by firewalld, which should help simplify firewall management.
- GIMP 2.8: Fedora 17 will incorporate the very latest from the best open source image manipulation program. There are plenty of nice things coming with this release, but probably the one most people is after is the single window mode.
- GNOME Shell for everyone: GNOME Shell will no longer require graphics acceleration in Fedora 17. This is obviously great news for those whose hardware couldn't quite keep up with the original GNOME Shell requirements.
- EXT4 enhancements: BTRFS may be close to becoming the default file system in Fedora, but EXT4 is not being left behind. Fedora 17 will support EXT4 file systems larger than 16TB.
- NetworkManager Hotspots improvement: Will provide a smoother Internet Connection Sharing/Hotspot feature that actually works consistently and reliably.
- Single password quality checking: Fedora will have a single point where the system password quality limits are configured, thus reducing complexity and increasing efficiency.
- Enhanced KDE Plasma Integration: Users will be able to install Plasma widgets (plasmoids) written in scripting languages through "Add widgets… / Download new widgets…" and automatically get the required Fedora packages for those widgets to actually work installed. This gives users convenient access to upstream's huge widget library without manually having to install dependencies such as plasma-scriptengine-*. It looks like Fedora will be the first distribution to offer this convenient Plasma feature, developed by Fedora.
- Move all to /usr: Fedora is again trying to reduce complexity with this move. While symbolic links will be maintained to ensure backward compatibility, RPM package content will no longer be split in many different system folders, but unified under
/usr. This change will have many benefits, such as increased compatibility with other UNIX/Linux systems, a simpler and cleaner system layout, no confusion about tools install locations, no
$PATHfiddling, etc. Moreover, this change gets things ready for the adoption of BTRFS and its ability to capture system snapshots at any point. In addition, along with some changes to systemd (which inherits more processes, this time from SysV), this change should also help reduce boot times.
- Memory and Power management: Benefits in these two areas will land in Fedora 17. Thanks to
tuned, more flexibility and capability around power profiles will be added. Memory optimisation is clearly benefitial to all users.

I tried 17's Alpha as well on a never Dell Inspiron laptop, and I had to revert back to -FC16 since it was was too unreliable for my needs.ReplyDelete
I'm now downloading the Nightly Beta ( Fedora-17-Nightly-20120423.09-x86_64-Live-desktop ) and give it another try tomorrow. :)

Looking forward to the release. Currently have F16 setup with nvidia graphics and its working flawlessly. I hope the upgrade goes smoothly.ReplyDelete

I don't call fedora a power user distro mainly because it's configured for you out of the box, if you're a power user you're better of with slackware, debian 6, arch linux, and gentoo. Fedora is a nice distro but the length between each distro is disgusting.. 6 months is not enough time to get stuff done, Red hat enterprise linux though is a nice corporate distro and server distro. I'm thinking of using it instead of my standard gentoo or freebsd setup.ReplyDelete

<... Click To Read More About This Product
Yamaha's Arius Series digital pianos embody a blend of Yamaha's 100-year history of crafting world-class concert grand pianos and modern digital expertise to give you true piano sound and feel.
The graded-hammer keyboard of the 88-key Yamaha YDP-161B digital piano makes it a true joy to play both in practice and in performance. The 3-level AWM dynamic stereo sampling voices deliver remarkably authentic sound. Moreover, the damper pedal includes a half-damper effect, giving you nuanced expressive control over the sustained sound. The Yamaha keyboard's dual voice capability lets you play 2 different instrument sounds at the same time, while a 2-track song recorder allows you to capture original musical ideas and performances.
An elegant addition to your living room or music room, the glossy black walnut finish of the YDP-161B will complement any home decor, combining stunning visual artistry with its luxurious sound. You can also choose a classic rosewood finish (see #430605).
Graded Hammer (GH) keyboard:
Just as on a traditional acoustic piano, lower notes on a GH keyboard have a heavier touch while the higher notes are more responsive to lighter playing. GH keyboards such as the one on this Yamaha Arius digital piano feature an extra key sensor capable of reproducing fast, repetitive playing of a single note with perfect articulation.
Variable touch sensitivity:
The Yamaha Arius electronic piano lets you select the hard, medium, or soft setting to match your playing style or finger strength. Turn off sensitivity for a fixed response setting, which is ideal when playing the organ.
Advanced Wave Memory (AWM) dynamic stereo sampling:
The Yamaha Arius piano comes equipped with AWM (Advanced Wave Memory), a sampling system that creates the realism of an acoustic instrument by using digital technology to record the instrument sound and apply high-quality digital filter technology to the recorded audio samples. The waveform of the sound created by playing the key of an acoustic piano differs depending on the playing strength from pianissimo to fortissimo. AWM dynamic stereo sampling can produce dynamic nuances by recording samples of various playing strengths. The greater the number of samples used, the higher the expression.
128-note polyphony:
Conventional digital pianos quickly run out of notes during fast, dense legato passages: sustained notes are cut off as the instrument "steals" notes to make room for new notes. On the Yamaha Arius YDP-161B digital piano, a maximum of 128 notes can be played all at once.
Damper resonance:
Damper resonance samples provide the rich and broadening tones produced in pedaling. Using these comprehensive gradations, the Yamaha Arius YDP-161B can realistically reproduce the complex sounds of a grand piano.
Half-pedal control:
Half-pedal control allows the sustain length to vary step-by-step depending on how far the pedal is pressed. The farther you press the pedal, the more the sound sustains.
Song recorder:
The built-in, 2-track performance memory allows you to record a backing track and then step into the spotlight and solo over it. Best of all, the electronic piano lets you change tempo or voices even after you've recorded your performance. There's also a built-in metronome to help you stay in perfect time.
50 preset piano songs:
The Yamaha Arius YDP-161B digital piano comes with a selection of 50 different piano songs provided for your listening pleasure. These recordings were chosen for their beauty as well as their functionality. Since many of the songs are classic piano pieces, anyone taking lessons can use them as a reference.

Lovely Perfume For Women by Sarah Jessica Parker *I've worn primarily green/citrus scents for years--Hugo Boss Woman, Happy to Be--and was very happy with them. I smelled this first on a scent strip and was intrigued; it had the crispness I like in the greener scents, but also a softness I've missed in my scents, an unexpected light musk richness. I have weird chemistry & most scents are dicey on me, so I tried this half a dozen times before purchasing, and every time I tried it, I found something new to love. I'm 30--well beyond wishing to smell 'cute'--and this fragrance is exactly what I'm growing into, a scent for a sophisticated woman. It's not old, it's not young; it's mature, and equally appropriate with a sweater and jeans or evening wear. The only scent I bother with anymore. I've had great success with the life of the scent--I put it on at 8am and my husband can still smell it on me at bedtime--but I prefer that it be subtle enough that only a person standing next to me smell it; perhaps some who find it short-lived prefer a bolder scent.

I have a set of ABS Trooper armor (FX) and when putting the thigh together I noticed that the lower part of the thigh is way to wide. It makes the thigh armor look boxy.
Is there a way of heating the ABS up taper the thigh so it is more form fitting?
I appreciate any help from those ABS experts out there.

my new rig - 2011 KOH buggy, and wheeling pics from Johnson Valley, CA
On July 5th, I drove down to Johnson Valley, CA (where they run King of the Hammers) for a test drive and purchase of my new rig. My expectations were very high, and I'm delighted to say that this thing exceeded my expectations. What so many refer to as "just a stock LS1" made more than enough power to keep me happy (at least for now). The suspension was amazing. We were able to hold 50-60 mph over 2-3' whoops with no issues. It crawled amazingly well, especially with the sticky Krawlers. I love the way the dual Magnaflow mufflers sounds, especially at WOT. Everything about the car worked awesome.
It was loaded on the semi in LA yesterday. Hopefully I'll have it tomorrow.
I have plans to change a few things. First thing is that in the next couple week, five brand new Raceline wheels will be arriving. The ones on it (and the black steel spare shown) are being replaced under warranty. I had Nate remove the $$$$ race radio and GPS package and I've purchased a new Rugged Radio Intercom set. I'm going to leave the gargantuan 34 gallon fuel cell, at least for now. I did not purchase the back seat, but I did purchase the 14 gallon fuel cell that goes in there. I'm going to have a rack built over top of the fuel cell so I have a place to put tools, a cooler, gear, etc. I have a 3 quart accumulator I'm going to have installed to protect the engine from oil loss on inclines. I have 8 new HID lights on the way, but I'm not sure how many of them will make it on there or where I'll put them. I have tentative plans for a new wrap, but I have no idea what I want yet (ideas are welcome). Beyond that, its just little ideas here and there.
This car was not built for KOH, but it was raced in 2011. It as built by Rick Mooneyham (aka EZ Rick), owner of Trick Toys Fab and "borrowed" from the owner for the race. They ran 2nd place for quite a while, even while battling problems with fuel cell foam plugging the fuel filter. They broke a rear axle shaft ($$$ Superior 14 bolt shaft) on back door, and by the time that was replaced, they fell back to and eventually finished in 25th place. Still very respectable for a car of this caliber, considering how many of the cars it was competing with were built.
Chassis- TTF (Trick Toys Fab) Crawl-rite 4 Chassis, 1.5" DOM with .188 sub-frame, .156 exterior tubes, and .120 interior tubes, 1/8" AL roof, 1/2" UHMW boat sides and bottom
*** Car dimensions*** 111" Wheelbase with 83" track width front, 80" width rear, 70" tall at ride height with 20"ish belly, I've never weighed car but race-ready should be sub 4K pounds...
Motor- LS1 (from 2002 Camaro SS) with 5 wire harness and flipped intake so the air filter is in the car breathing clean air, Bosch 044 fuel pump, Turnkey Engine Supply Pre-filter, Corvette style filter/regulator, Turnkey Engine Supply high mount alternator and bracket, fuel lines and fittings are all AN with push-loc high pressure hose
Trans- Built TH350 with upgraded clutches, compression braking, and RMVB, B&M shifter, and a huge Fluidyne cooler that keeps the transmission under 150 degrees...always! Transmission lines and fittings are all AN with push-loc high pressure hose
Transfer Case- Atlas 4.3 with 32 spline outputs
Front axle- Fully Custom high pinion Solid/Rock Crusher housing with Reid C's, Solid Knuckles and high steer, Solid hubs and Chevy 1/2 ton brakes, Detroit with 5.38 gears and Superior 35 spline chromo shafts (best chromo shafts you can buy) clearanced to 50 degrees by Branik, Longfield D60 300M u-joints, Detroit Locker
Rear Axle- Trussed OG 14 bolt with a shave, 5.38 gears and an RD114 ARB locker. Chevy 1/2 ton brakes
Front Suspension- Triangulated 4 Link with 1.5 uppers and FK 7/8" Heims, 2" Heat Treated Chromo lowers with FK 1 1/4" Heims, Fox 14" 2.5 Coilovers with reservoirs and dual rate springs

Winch- Narrowed Warn M8000 with Amsteel Blue synthetic line
Front Seats- PRP Comp Highbacks with DJ Safety Harnesses
Fuel Cell- Jaz 32 gallon race fuel cell (new after KOH '11) with new foam for racing and a 14 gallon aluminum cell that fits behind the rear seat for when you want to play on the trail with the family

Yeah, everything I read said Rick really knows his shit. Nate told me that the reps from Fox helped them get everything tuned in a couple days before the race. Not that I have anything to compare to in a comparable car, but the ride is pretty amazing, whether fast or slow. I about shit myself when he was doing about 50 and didn't let up with a bunch of 3' whoops in front of us. It soaked them right up. And he said they ran 70+ on those same bumps at race speed.

Nice rig. EZ-Rick may talk a lot, but he definitely backs it up. I'm jealous.

An aspiring writer falls under the spell of an aloof millionaire with designs for the young scribe's unhappily married cousin in director Baz Luhrmann's adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's celebrated novel. It's the spring of 1922, and wide-eyed Midwesterner Nick Carraway (Tobey Maguire) has just moved to New York City in pursuit of the American Dream. Settling into a home next door to wealthy Jay Gatsby (Leonardo DiCaprio), Carraway grows increasingly fascinated by the elaborate parties held at his new neighbor's estate. Meanwhile, across the bay, Carraway's cousin Daisy (Carey Mulligan) flounders in her marriage to philandering aristocrat Tom Buchanan (Joel Edgerton). Inspired by the debauchery on display at Gatsby's wild parties and the lives of the wealthy elite, Carraway begins putting pen to paper as it gradually becomes clear that his cousin and the millionaire share a complicated romantic past that remains unresolved. Isla Fisher, Jason Clarke, and Elizabeth Debicki co-star. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Tipsntails7 wrote:Go with a TG real thang, or a lynchmob reaper if your looking for speed. The real thang is awesome. I would suggest blowing an ex3 before dropping that much money on it. In my opinion it is the most realistic goose call out there and has a TON of range. Saying this it is a bear to learn to blow properly and to tune it up. Not its easy to throw it together and make it sound good but it took me a couple weeks cutting reeds and playing with it to get it to my liking. I have a feeling it will replace my real thang by the end of the season. I'm not a real big fan of the new zink line. Looks aside they all blow really light. Which means you must control your air much much better. Just me I like a little heavier call.
Greenhead Rocker wrote:I've not tried the zink, but did blow the EX3D, that my cousin has, and I've owned a matrix. Liked both calls. The Matrix is fast, very fast, and very versatile. It can be tuned to go very high and also tuned to go pretty deep. Very easy to tune to your liking as well. Don't know much about the tuning of the EX3D...I use Grounds calls and most say that they blow a little harder than others...can't really say that's 100% true, but they do come straight from Tim a little stiffer than say a Zink straight from Freddie. The EX3D was tuned pretty good for me, but he may have asked for it to be tuned med to stiff, when he ordered it. It felt very nice in hand and was very comfortable to blow. Very quick and super goosey. I was very impressed with it. Impressed enough that I may buy one myself. I know that my cousin is wanting to pick up one in acrylic to go with the delrin. I guess the best way to buy one is direct from Scott and tell him exactly how you want it tuned.

text: I only watched a little of the 3rd and 4th so i'm going strictly on every time Walter made a three, he gave up an open shot to Jefferson on the other hand. That little stretch where he went insane was proceeded by Jefferson getting an open shot, an open lane, etc. I'm specifically talking about when i saw Hermann on him not his overall scoring. However, in the 3rd i did see Tay having trouble with him as well which is not surprising since he's never really been able to handle him.

In case anyone is interested, AIM has a handful of DSA FALs in stock. I just bagged a DSA on an Imbel parts kit. They sold out fast everytime before I could line one up in the past. They had 7 left this morning. Not exactly the style I wanted but is a DSA reciever and no wait either. I figure this will be my Christmas gift to myself and hold me until I manage to get an Argentine and Belgian in my collection. :)

ZZ Top
Exhausted from the overwhelming workload, they took a three-year break, then switched labels and returned to form with Deguello and El Loco, both harbingers of what was to come. By their next album, Eliminator, and its worldwide smash follow-up, Afterburner, they had successfully harnessed the potential of synthesizers to their patented grungy blues groove, giving their material a more contemporary edge while retaining their patented Texas style. Now sporting long beards, golf hats, and boiler suits, they met the emerging video age head-on, reducing their "message" to simple iconography. Becoming even more popular in the long run, they moved with the times while simultaneously bucking every trend that crossed their path. As genuine roots musicians, they have few peers; Gibbons is one of America's finest blues guitarists working in the arena rock idiom -- both influenced by the originators of the form and British blues-rock guitarists like Peter Green -- while Hill and Beard provide the ultimate rhythm section support.
One of the few rock & roll groups with its original members still aboard after four decades, ZZ Top play music that is always instantly recognizable, eminently powerful, profoundly soulful, and 100 percent American in derivation. They have continued to support the blues through various means, perhaps most visibly when they were given a piece of wood from Muddy Waters' shack in Clarksdale, Mississippi. The group members had it made into a guitar, dubbed the "Muddywood," then sent it out on tour to raise money for the Delta Blues Museum. ZZ Top's support of and link to the blues remain as rock-solid as the music they play. The concert CD/DVD Live from Texas, recorded in Dallas in 2007 and featuring a still vital band, was released in 2008. The Rick Rubin and Gibbons-produced La Futura, the band's 15th studio album, and the group's first new studio outing since 2003's Mescalero, appeared in 2012. With the trio still a firm fixture on the worldwide touring circuit, ZZ Top released the Live: Greatest Hits from Around the World collection in 2016. ~ Cub Koda

There was a belt fed mode for the original AR 10 rifle. If you watch the promotional http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnQTO...Armalite video at the very end they show it firing with belts and then they open the action take out the belt close it and return to magazine fire, If it was possible with the AR10 then it shouldn't be hard to scale it down for the 15 system.

Hi Crew, I just joined today. I guess I got lucky when I picked Largo, Fl.(between St. Pete & Clearwater) There are 3 ranges within 15-20 mins. drive from where I live. Two indoor & one outdoor. I've been here a couple of years, but haven't found any "shootin' buddies". I'll have to be more assertive, I guess. I'm relativly new to shooting, even though I'm an "old cuss". (Gotta keep it clean) I only own one handgun, so it's my "do all". It's an older D.W. 714-2, so chosen because of the .357 mag. caliber. I mostly practice with .38s.
That's all for now. :smt1099

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran said he had no intention of using oil as a weapon in his conflict with the United States, but if President Bush authorizes an attack on his nation, we "know how to react." He claimed, "We would never want to use oil as a weapon or to take any illegal actions… but if American takes any action against us, we will know how to reply." His comments came at the conclusion of an OPEC meeting at which Iran's leader raised the issue of whether or not it was time to cease linking the price of oil to the American dollar. There are fears due to ambiguous comments from the Bush administration that the United States might take some offensive action against Iran which would probably result into an oil embargo or blocking of oil shipping channels. Ahmadinejad was hopeful and said, "my prediction is that no war will break out in the region."
As a result of pressure from Venezuela and Iran, OPEC will examine its historic policy of linking oil prices to the American dollar. There is some feeling of pricing oil based on the euro. The fall of the American dollar has impacted oil producing nations because their price is based on the worth of the US dollar.

Always just worn a longsleeve shirt and hoodie if needed. With a glove only on my left hand, and waders with a hat.
Now that i have a little more income than growing up i want some " nicer " clothing. Basically what im looking for is gloves that fit tight and i can feel the trigger. They need to be tight fit, but with decent grip so my hand doesnt slip on the pump of ol trusty wingmaster.
As for the longsleeve shirt, maybe something thats not cotton and doesnt hold water so much. Hows underarmour work? Seems like the skeeters will bite through it easily. Maybe like a breathable jacket with hood and an under armour shirt.. seems like a personel problem i guess..
Under armour doesnt offer a camo tactical hood anymore but i like the idea of that.
I cant stand mis matching camo and my waders are max 4. And everytime i travel to bass pro their max 4 selection seems small. So ill be ordering from online so thats why im asking advice so i dont order the wrong crap. Growing up hunting i never ownded a pair of waders only redneck waders aka black jeans. That being said i need some advice on some of these name brand clothing. So some of yal hunting hotter states or people who hunt early teal what do you wear?

I have a cattle pond that a guy lets me hunt and it can be very very good, but it freezes super easy. It's 2 feet deep tops and very stagnant, it's 5 yards wide by 50 yards long, loaded with cat tails. I scouted it last Tuesday evening and it was loaded with 200+ birds, I went to hunt it Thursday morning and from that one 25 degree over night temp it froze enough for ALL of the birds to leave. LAME
The commercial ice eaters are too spendy, no way will I spend $800 on one. Am I SOL? One problem is that the closest outlet would be the ranch hand's house 400 yards away. If anyone has any ideas let me know, if someone can help me keep it open they are more than welcome to come hunt. I think it has the potential to be good all season.

In the first article of the new season, our statistician Josh James looks at the significance of opening-day results.
Saturday's goalless draw with Sunderland made it 12 consecutive seasons without defeat on the opening day for Arsenal, extending the club record.
The last time the Gunners tasted defeat on the first day of a league season was 2000/01, when Sunderland beat them 1-0 at home. The previous longest unbeaten sequence was seven seasons, set between 1932/33 and 1938/39 - the glorious thirties era. And perhaps it's no coincidence that the two longest runs of undefeated opening-day games coincide with the Club's two most successful ever periods.
History shows that the first result of the season can indeed set the tone for the rest of the campaign.
At every level at which Arsenal have played, the average finishing position is appreciably higher in seasons in which they won the first game, compared to those in which the opening game was drawn or lost.
Prior to this season, the Gunners' all-time record for opening-day matches was P108, W50, D22, L36 F178, A151.
Of those 50 seasons with winning starts, the average finishing position was 5.44, more than three places higher than the average final place in seasons that kicked off with a loss (8.75).
Campaigns which Arsenal began with a draw resulted in an average finishing position of 6.55.
Looking solely at the Premier League era, the pattern is repeated with the average finishing position being 3.25 after starting with a win, 3.4 after a draw and 5.33 for the three seasons in which Arsenal started with defeat.
So it's fair to say that the opening game can give an indication of what is to come - and in fact Arsenal have never recovered to win the league after losing the opening game of the season.
|Div 2
|Div 1
Saturday was the 23rd time Arsenal have kicked off with a draw, and the sixth time in Premier League history (including the last three in a row).
Arsenal were traditionally slow starters in the old Division One era, averaging just 1.39 points per opening game, compared to 1.54 points per game for the era as a whole (assuming three points for a win).
Since the Premier League began in 1992/93 however, the trend has reversed. Arsenal have taken exactly two points per opening game in this time, compared to 1.88 points per Premier League game overall.
Looking at the first three games of each season though reveals that Arsenal do not often get off to a flying start.
Only twice in the 20 seasons of Premier League football (2003/04 and 2004/05) have the Gunners had a 100 per cent record from the opening three fixtures, and in 13 of those seasons (65 per cent) Arsenal have suffered at least one reverse in the first three games.
The average points tally from the first three games of the Premier League era is 5.7.

|Newcastle 0-0 Arsenal
|Arsenal 0-0 Sunderland
Looking at all league football, Arsenal have remained unbeaten after the first three games in 27 seasons (25 per cent). Long unbeaten runs at the start of the season are very rare.
Arsenal have lost their first game in 33.3 per cent of the 108 complete league seasons so far, and lost at least one of their first two matches in 60.2 per cent of seasons.
In fact the team taste defeat for the first time each season an average of 3.66 games into the campaign. Only nine times out of 108 seasons (8.3 per cent) have they reached double figures before succumbing to the first loss.
Arsenal's longest unbeaten run from the start of a league season is of course 38 games – the whole of the 2003/04 'Invincibles' campaign.
The Club's best ever winning start to a season though remains the eight consecutive victories at the start of the 1903/04 season, when Arsenal were in the old Division Two. Harry Bradshaw's team scored 35 goals and conceded just three in that incredible run, though the team only finished second that term.
The Club's best winning start to a top-flight season was six, in the title-winning 1947/48 season.

Yes, my somewhat indulgent, lazy paddling canoe seat!

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Sorry it took so long for my last reply, but thanks for the info. I had already figured that the 76cc heads were killing the CR, but my original plans were to make it driver on pump gas. Nowadays with technology that is possible with higher CR. The Lunati cam is supposed to be a good mid rpm cam with a range of 2000 rpm (?) to 6,000 which would put it as a good match for the intake and Lunati recommends higher CR. What you say sounds good, though.
Heads are too big in the chamber you really need to pump up the compression. I don't know what the deck clearance is but assuming it's OEM at .025 inch even with your .015 shim head gasket you're at 8.8 static. With these pistons it would take 64 cc head to get to 10 which any decent cam is going to need.
You really need to change the cam to something like a Comp XE268 which gets on with lifting the valve quickly and holds it open late to pump up the ponies. You gotta get the compression up whether that's milling the crap out of the Torquer's or replacing them take you're pick. You need to know what the deck clearance is going because if this block is already zero decked that will control how much you mill on the heads. You've got to run the Dynamic Compression Ratio (DCR) for your compression ratio adjusted for the intake closing point. Later closing needs more Static Compression Ratio (SCR) to drive out a high enough dynamic. Aluminum heads need about one more point of compression than cast iron as they suck heat out of the combustion chamber way faster than does cast iron just in case you go that route.
Even with the Comp cam and decent 64 cc chamber heads it'll take 1.6 rockers perhaps with competent pocket porting, depends on whose heads many of these new heads are easier to screw up by grinding on them than you're likely to get more power from them, to get 400 horses from a 355 with the pistons you have, the Comp XE268, 1.6 rockers with the the Partiot 2168 heads , the intake set up you have, a pair of long tube 1-5/8ths tube headers should prove to be a no-brainer 400 horses on an engine dyno.
the pistons measured around .028 in the hole and add the .015 head gasket gives .043. Other specs are that it has a Milodon stock looking pan with Dzus fastened windage tray, MSD ignition (mechanical advance), stock crank, stock shot-peened rods, Fluidamper balancer, double roller chain, 1 3/4 primary into 3" collectors custom headers and long slot rocker arms. The two engines seem pretty comparable. The Patriot heads are 185cc with 64cc chambers and 62cc exhaust.
Engine 362 horse 355
Bore 4.030"
Stroke 3.48"
Crankshaft GM cast
Con Rod 5.7 GM Pink
Piston Old TRW Pwr Forged F/T, 4 reliefs
Rings 2 x 5/64 Moly, 1x3/16
Head 340292, 64 cc, ported, angle plug
SCR 10.0:1 (.025 deck, .019 gasket)
Intake valve 2.02" Back Cut 30/Polished
Exhaust Valve 1.6" Back Cut 30
Rocker 1.6:1 Comp Stainless Roller
Cam Comp Magnum 280, 230/.480 I&E 110LSA
Intake Performer
Carb 750 Holley
Exhaust 1-5/8 Long Tube
Torque 370@ 4500
Horsepower 362 @ 5800
The 292 head uses a smaller 64 cc but old fashion chamber so your Torquer's larger chamber while you probably need a few more degrees of advance the end result between them should be close.
The old Comp 280 cam in terms of duration and lift at the valve from .050 is close to the Lunati 292; I'd expect similar performance between them.
Your Victor Jr will out breathe our Performer, but given the limits of head flow and combustion efficiency downstream of the intake I rather doubt the bottom end can work the Victor Jr anywhere close to its capabilities to deliver mixtures to the cylinders so its presence is a moot point in my mind.
Your piston selection is identical to the old TRW Power Forged with the same old wide rings just with a coating on the skirts. My experience shows that skirt coatings are not where most piston friction is; that's in the ring pack, the skirts hold a pretty good oil wedge between themselves and the cylinder wall. A narrower ring pack and lighter tension rings nets measurably less friction but drive other tricks to seal over the long haul on street motors and really push the limits on windage control technology. A high volume/pressure oil pump, stock oil pan with narrow low tension rings will build you an oil burner.
So all-in-all I think your guess at 370 is in the ball park. The Patriot 2168 head will bring a much better configured (Vortecish) combustion chamber which will pick up the power with no other changes. The aluminum will let you push the compression up which the rampy cam you have needs as for its duration it takes it forever to close the intake valve. Back cutting the valves, especially the intake greatly, improves low lift flow for a rampy cam working a 1.6 rocker can have good advantage to improve flow as the valve is opening and closing on these long ramps.
Hopefully you measured deck to crown clearance while the heads were off, this distance from .025 OEM to maybe zero as remachined plays a heavy part in the compression ratio as well as the squish/quench effectiviness.
Im not sure about that combination. The heads you have could support 400 hp.I dont like the cam.That intake is what I use on a 434 solid roller motor. carb is fine.
If you want to rum high 12s,you need a car that hooks well with proper gear set/transmission. weighing only 2500 pounds makes the task a lot easier. Is the car set up now? is the 355 in it now? weigh it,make a pass,get the mph and actual weight and decide if you need more power or just want bigger numbers?
|vinniekq2, the motor is fine but it was advertised as 400hp. With the heads that are on it, I'm guessing around 370 hp, which makes me feel kind of ripped off. What other cam specs do you need? I listed everything except LSA and centerline. LSA is 109 and centerline is 107. This is going into a 76 Datsun truck that I hope tips the scales at less than 2500lbs. and will run somewhere in the 12s because this is actually a mild motor.
|you need to have flow numbers and your cam specs.bigger heads can make more horse power,too big of heads and the engine will not run well. whats wrong with the engine you have as it is?
another sbc question
I have asked this question a while back, but now I have some more info on my motor. I currently have a 355 sbc with SR torquer heads (76cc, 2.02/1.6, 171cc intake runners) street port/polish, an Edelbrock Victor Jr, Holley 750 vacuum sec., Lunati cam with .480 lift int/exh 292 adv dur, 230@.050., and Sealed Power L2256F30 pistons. The motor came assembled with the Fel-pro blue gaskets (.040) and the motor is claimed to be a 10:1 400hp. With the heads, I'm thinking its about 370 and 8.5:1. I swapped out the gaskets for
.015 steel shim gaskets, but I figure I'm running around 9:1. I've been looking at the Patriot pn2168 aluminum head to get that 400hp or slightly more. Would these heads be a good choice or is there better for around the same price?

Niche markets often emerge after serious recessions. For now, at least, the previous decade's addiction to cheap land and poorly built, overpriced homes is giving way to a craving for modest but innovative dwellings. Enter Interface Studio Architects (ISA) and the developer Postgreen Homes, both in Philadelphia. Their 100K House, which hit the market in 2009, answers that call, while suggesting a way to design ourselves out of the housing trough. Focusing on the urban infill market, it emphasizes superior energy performance and inventive design rather than square footage—all at a price point the middle class can afford.
"We think we're on the right track," says ISA's Brian Phillips, AIA. "We managed to presell 10 of these houses during the worst economy ever." That includes two units of the Avant Garage model currently in construction—two-story, family-friendly homes above a two-car garage starting at $355,000. "Our main goal is to build homes we can sell for less than $400,000," says Postgreen Homes founder Chad Ludeman. "Those are the homes that are moving here in this economy."
Built for about $100 per square foot in hard costs, the LEED Platinum 100K prototype earned the distinction of USGBC LEED for Homes 2010 Project of the Year. Eight other houses have been built from that source code. Now the collaborators are developing a production line of customizable larger models with more conventional layouts and finishes, but with the same exacting energy benchmarks.
Each new project offers Postgreen a chance to tweak the pro forma for efficiencies. For example, the latest homes feature cellulose-packed, double-stud framing instead of SIPs, which are hard to crane into place on city lots. One rule hasn't changed: To control costs and insulation values, facades are super-simple, articulated with silk screening or color patterns rather than bump-outs, though the Avant Garage exteriors "bend" so that occupants can look up and down the street.
Philadelphia was the ideal incubator for the 100K concept. The city's population has been slowly declining for decades, though that trend has reversed itself in recent years. "Neighborhood groups are open to new ideas, because it's been 30 years since a new idea has landed in their neighborhood," Phillips says. It's a familiar story. "Experimenting with how homes can be inserted sustainably is an important element of making cities work," says John Claypool, AIA, executive director of AIA Philadelphia. "I think 100K is a wonderful demonstration of the creativity of architects."

Committed to the safety and security of the University of St. Thomas campus community, the new Emergency and Safety Services Office is implementing an emergency management plan in fall 2012.
As part of a $245,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Education for emergency management planning efforts, UST is continuing to create a comprehensive two-part plan for campus-based all-hazards emergency management and as well as continuity business plans. In 2010, UST was the only university in Texas to receive funds from the Emergency Management for Higher Education Program that provided grants to 17 schools nationwide.
In the first part of the plan, the ESSO, led by Co-directors Chris Barry and Karen Burns, established several initiatives to better prepare the St. Thomas campus community.

Afghanistan President Karzai said that airstrikes by US and Coalition forces have generally been ineffective weapons in the fight against terrorism. "The struggle against terrorism is not in the villages of Afghanistan. The only result of the use of the airstrike is the killing of civilians. This is not the way to wage the fight against terrorism." This blog has been arguing for over a year against reliance on air attacks as an effective weapon in dealing with militants. The history of anti-guerrilla activity indicates scant evidence attacking from the air will gain victory. Karzai's comment came after the latest episode in which civilians were killed as a result of plane attacks in Kapisa province.
Afghanistan is the scene of guerrilla warfare and defeating militants will come as a result of creating a vibrant economy, providing people with honest government that meeds their needs, and offers a vision that is beneficial for the youth of Afghanistan.
