text: Hello, I have a question about the trigger springs on the older Glocks. In an old article from Massad Ayoob and he said that he had seen several of the "S" shaped trigger springs on Glocks break, and he reconmended putting the NY-1 trigger spring on them. I have a gen. 3 G33 and when I went to install the NY-1 spring I noticed that it had a coil spring instead of an "S" shaped one. Does anyone know if this is something Glock changed from earlier models and are these coil spring prone to breaking.

the hormone thing can be an issue. navy has been dealing with it for year on ships. the other services can take lessons from them. it's going to be worse with gays serving openly. not sure how that's going to be handled.
Doesen't that make you have a warm and fuzzy feeling for that 5' 4'' infrantry womon covering your flank during a night attack or ambush?

Take an adventure holiday in GREENLAND with World Expeditions, one of the world's leading travel companies.
Greenland has the second largest ice sheet in the world (after Antarctica) and the northernmost land area in the world at Cape Morris Jesup – just 730kms from the North Pole. Greenland has an area of 2.17 million square kilometres of which just 410,000 square kilometres is not covered by ice. The population is around 56,000, and 13,650 live in the capital of Nuuk, on the west coast. There are six large towns in addition to the capital, and 120 settlements, trading posts and sheep stations. Danish sovereignty was established in 1721 and to this day the country, whilst largely self-governing through a system of Home Rule, is in national union with Denmark. The currency is Danish Krone, and Denmark controls foreign policy, the police service, the judicial system and the surveillance of Greenland's waters and jointly controls the exploitation of mineral resources. Hunting and fishing are the country's main industry's and they are the worlds largest exporters of cold-water prawns.

Although human beings have learned to communicate with each other through the complex structure of language, it is without words that we often speak most clearly about what is true in our hearts.
When There Are No Words explores the significant ways in which we can relate to each other without words. It is a playful reminder of the power that lives in subtle gestures, passionate embraces, and the wink of an eye; it is a celebration of the human connection, for it reveals how actions make us understood and help us to understand others.
Inventive and masterfully crafted, When There Are No Words encourages touch through its magnetic cover that inspires readers to "connect" with the book. Ten magnetic pieces are placed on the cover-the five words of the title and five images-so that readers can literally take away the words and build their own word and image scenarios. The book also contains many other special interactive features, including: diecut pages; a clock with spinning hands; a gatefold; a globe that turns; and a pocket for magnet storage. Particularly during these times when the need to communicate may be more urgent, but more difficult, this wonderful volume is an exceptional year-round token of love that expresses caring when words are simply not enough.

Microphones were and always will be the most loved legacy of Georg Neumann. The story starts 105 years ago in Berlin, Germany.
Founded in 1928, Neumann is the prominent manufacturer of professional recording microphones. Their best known products are condenser microphones used for radio broadcast, live events and music production.
In all, Neumann has released some 90 microphones, and going through the design specifics of each one would take a book. Models such as the solid-state U87 and U89, the tube U67, the KU80/81/100 "Fritz" binaural dummy head, the KM84/184 small-diaphragm condensers and KMS105 handheld have certainly joined other Neumann models in the category of audio classic

It can be tricky for managers and technical leaders to make the transition to agile. They're likely accustomed to doing things a particular way. What's more, they may try to squeeze their old ways into the new, agile approach. Here, Johanna Rothman describes why that isn't a good idea, especially regarding stories that are too big.
I've been working with folks making their transition to agile. One of the hardest transitions is for the managers and technical leaders.
Managers are accustomed to working in timeboxes. To them, the iteration is a timebox. But, they also are accustomed to features spanning multiple timeboxes, and that's not OK in agile.
They are accustomed to predicting the end of the project, and they now want to use the team's velocity and the story sizes to predict the end of the project. That's OK, but it's not always wise. It assumes nothing will change, but agile is for fast change. The managers' fixed mindset is bumping up against the technical team's change mindset.
This leads me to a root cause. If you think your job is prediction, you don't change the size of the stories, and that means the stories are too big. The stories are epics.
It's fine to start with epics—very large stories. But, in order to have releasable product at the end of an iteration and to keep iterations short enough to get feedback often enough, you need small stories. That means you'll start with epics and decompose them into stories. At first, this seems impossible.
Here's one way to start. What's the first valuable thing—the smallest chunk that delivers business value to the customer, to the developers, to the testers, to someone—that we can do that we can show to someone at the end of a short iteration? Is that small thing a story? Is it small enough to be completed inside an iteration, maybe by the entire team? If so, complete that story in the iteration. If that thing is not a story, what would make it a story? If it is not small enough, can you decompose it further?
Making stories small enough to finish in a one- or two-week iteration is a common stumbling block for many teams in their transition to agile. Until a team can do that, they can't move to agile. They can't take advantage of kanban either, because their stories are too big—nothing will move across the board.
This thinking challenges several assumptions on the part of managers and technical leads:
- That there is one and only one right person to do that work. I'm not saying people are fungible. I'm suggesting members of a team swarm around the work.
- That work has to follow a specific order. I'm not saying the work is order-less. I'm suggesting you may have more flexibility than you think at first glance.
- That work has to be a big huge chunk in order to be done. I know that you can work in inch-pebbles. You have to do something first. You have to do something next. I know this.
- That work must only benefit one persona. I'm suggesting work can benefit not just the eventual customer, but the developers, the testers, the marketing people, the trainers, and even HR or legal. Please do not start your stories with "As a customer." Which customer?
Managers and leads are accustomed to thinking big about projects. They have needed to, in the past, because their managers asked them to estimate the entire darn project or, even worse, the entire program to see when it might end. They think they need to know velocity now to estimate the entire project. They still might.
But, they can't do that if stories span iterations. They can only be successful if the teams complete stories inside iterations. Teams cannot get partial credit for stories. Partial credit perpetuates work in progress, which is a very bad thing , no

Can't remember if I have written about this website before, but here goes. Almost everyone with English ancestor are going to find that someone disappears never to be found again in the British Archives. They may well have been tempted by the adventure of emigrating to America. This website offers background history and a huge database of folk who ventured abroad between 1820 – 1892. Castle Garden was established before the better known Ellis Island.
The website states….CastleGarden.org is an educational project of The Battery Conservancy. This free site offers access to an extraordinary database of information on 11 million immigrants from 1820 through 1892, the year Ellis Island opened. Over 100 million Americans can trace their ancestors to this early immigration period.
Castle Garden, today known as Castle Clinton National Monument, is the major landmark within The Battery, the 25 acre waterfront park at the tip of Manhattan. From 1855 to 1890, the Castle was America's first official immigration center, a pioneering collaboration of New York State and New York.

I used to wear a screen accurate balaclava to hide my neck, but found it hot & uncomfortable & it further blocked my hearing. Taking a cue from Boba I substituted the head covering for a neck seal only. Wayyy more comfortable & cooler which is important in an already warm costume. I'll be putting a couple of these in the Cargo Hold or you can pm me for info if interested. It does up with velcro in the front (or back if you like) & I sewed mine permanently into my costume.
Pics are up now. This is the prototype & I am going to make a small modification to it after reading some of the comments here. Stay tuned.

Chan ram de-manned: pet ram gets reprieve.
March 25, 2013 , 2:23 PM by Prue Bentley
The story is bizarre on its own but it's raised questions of what officially constitutes a pet.
Jackie Chan the Ram has been a Bacchus Marsh family's pet for seven years but his ram-bunctious behaviour drew the ire of neighbours who filed a complaint with the Moorabool Shire.
According to some residents of Love Close, Maddingley, the pet ram had a history of escaping his enclosure and charging people.
Technically under the shire's local laws, Jackie Chan (the ram) is considered livestock and therefore can't be kept in a residential area.
The complainants wanted the shire to refuse his owners a permit to keep him there, and the only viable alternative was to see him put down.
But during an hour-long discussion at the most recent shire meeting, councillors debated the case for and against Jackie Chan (the ram) and whether he was in fact livestock or pet.
Ultimately, council decided he was a pet - similar to a cat or dog - and they have allowed the ram to stay with his family under strict conditions. These include: a more secure enclosure, and that he be neutered... although some late-breaking veterinary advice means the last condition is still being considered.
Cr Paul Tatchell was one of those charged with deciding Jackie Chan (the ram)'s fate.
He spoke with Steve Martin on Mornings
Also: Congratulations to Pam who won our headline competition with "Chan ram de-manned" - it certainly got people thinking!

Look What We Made the Obamacle Do!
posted at 7:23 pm on July 12, 2011 by Dafydd ab Hugh
First it was "Hope and Change," where any kind of change would make things better, any government spending at all would be "stimulative," and hope arose from the mere fact that a man who called himself "post-partisan" and "post-racial" had planted himself in la Casa Blanca. Under his reign, the oceans would subside, the Earth would heal, and like Milo Minderbinder's M&M Enterprises, everybody would have a share.
This idyllic intro-interlude quickly morphed into "gangster government," as Michael Barone put it: a lethal combination of legal bribery from unions and other special-interest groups, followed by wholesale privileges (literally, "private laws") granted to favored constituencies, from auto-worker unions, to teachers, to gays, to federally privileged minorities, to Silicon Valley, billionaires, to silicone-mountain Hollywood elites. The president had discovered that democracy is messy, and even those who disagree with Obama are allowed to vote, protest, organize, and voice their opinions.
Faced with such disunity and "chaos" coming from bitter people who cling to their religion and their guns, what was a newly anointed Keeper of the Vision supposed to do? Naturally he had to turn to criminal mobs to appease the liberal mobs who made him — and who could break him just as easily.
But at last, after years of increasingly dirty (and incompetent) governance coupled with crony "capitalism," the administration of Barack H. Obama slithered into its third and terminal phase: extortion government, in which the President of the United States directly threatens to inflict grievous damage, in a planned and calculating way, upon the most vulnerable of his own people — unless his political opponents kow-tow to his every demand. (Actually, as Barack Obama considers himself a "fellow citizen of the world," perhaps he doesn't consider them "his people" in the first place.)
In a sense stronger than merely symbolic, Barack Hussein Obama has become Maximilien François Marie Isidore de Robespierre, architect of the French Revolution, the bloodiest community-organizing mob action in history.
Witness: France during the Terror had the guillotine, the "national barber;" America, held hostage, has the deficit — the national credit card. The administration has maxed out the national credit card (even gone over the limit), and the president is beside himself that he cannot continue charging, charging, and charging to pay for his caviar tastes in government largess.
So today, in a fit of pique, Obama threatens that unless Republicans agree immediately to a Brobdingnagian hike in the national credit card's credit limit and to trilliions of dollars in new taxes and spending, he will deliberately, and with malice aforethought, refuse to send out Social Security and Veterans Benefits checks.
From CBS:
"I cannot guarantee that those checks go out on August 3rd if we haven't resolved this issue. Because there may simply not be the money in the coffers to do it," Mr. Obama said in an interview with CBS Evening News anchor Scott Pelley, according to excerpts released by CBS News.
"Look what you made me do!"
But of course, the administration is responsible for all federal spending. Congress can only appropriate; it's up to the Executive actually to send out the checks. And that means the president has the legal authority and obligation to prioritize spending.
In this case, he has the duty to privilege certain spending — interest and principal payments to bond holders and "entitlement" payments to seniors and veterans, among others — over other types of spending, including payments to doctors and hospitals under ObamaCare; block grants to states; foreign aid; funding of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, paying vendors and federal contractors; paying for travel by government employees (including the president, Mrs. President, and their posse/entourage); money to the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Mental Health, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and every other federally funded foundation or institute (no matter how worthy); and even paying federal workers.
Not to mention the hundreds of billions of dollars appropriated by Congress every year for porkbarrel projects in the districts of powerful representatives and senators.
Money comes into the American treasury all the time: quarterly tax payments, corporate taxes, employee withholding, sales of government property, fees, licenses, and so forth. I understand that such continuous income greatly exceeds the bare-bones payment obligations of the United States government — entitlement payments and debt service. In other words, we have enough revenue to meet those obligations; just not enough to meet them in addition to all the other expensive projects that the Obamunists want to fund at the same time. (What's most galling, of course, is that Barack Obama himself and his cronies in Congress are the very culprits who brought on this terrible financial catastrophe in the first place. "Look what I made you make me do!")
The obvious solution presents itself.
Every large corporation must have a budget; and every such budget must, among other requirements, prioritize the corporation's financial obligations: What gets paid first? What gets paid second, third, nth? I suspect that if a publicly traded corporation was so mismanaged that it didn't even have a contingency plan for what bills to pay if it experienced a sudden revenue shortfall, not only would it be liable for massive lawsuits, but the SEC and the Justice Department might open a criminal investigation of the corporate officers.
Thinking of the federal government as the nation's largest (if not the world's largest) corporation, then mustn't it, too, have a heirarchy of payments to guide the president during a temporary shortfall? Isn't the obvious lack of such an emergency plan, resulting in threats to withhold pledged funds to those who could literally die from such embezzlement — which is what the president's threat amounts to — the very definition of financial malfeasance and nonfeasance?
But this sort of hysterical extortion is the liberal's stock in trade. I cannot begin to count how many times a Democratic governor or mayor has responded to reduced revenues by threatening to furlough police and firefighters first, before even considering laying off the thousands of non-essential government workers, from state license form filler-outers and scrutinizers, to inspectors who prowl neighborhoods to make sure nobody has the wrong kind of front lawn or too high a fence, to complicated "diversity" (affirmative action) schemes, to pothole repair, to state highway construction, to light rail, to establishment of new state parks, to city-hall barbers, to spiraling billions to state "education" funding.
It's a vile and shabby trick: Pandering to the liberal mob, Obama attacks the weakest and most vulnerable citizens by directly threatening them with penury and starvation unless Republicans cave. "Nice pension you have there; sure would be a shame if something was to happen to it…" Such intimidation of America's own citizens is so thuggish, so antidemocratic, so unAmerican that it easily rises to the level of high crimes and misdemeanors in the meaning of Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution.
Any ordinary person would burn with shame to threaten the old, the sick, and wounded vets just to enact his pet policies, against the clearly expressed will of the people. I can only conclude that Obama's narcissism is so advanced that he has become a functional sociopath — the anti-Clinton — literally incapable of feeling anybody's pain, responsive only to his own sense of aristocratic entitlement and his outrage at being thwarted.
Obama's "audacity" is positively brazen; it doesn't even occur to him to conceal his real motivation. He nakedly commands this issue to go away until after his presumed re-coronation next year:
Mr. Obama has repeatedly said he wants a deal that would allow the U.S. to avoid confronting the issue again until after the 2012 elections and vowed on Monday that he would "not sign a 30-day or a 60-day or a 90-day extension."
He insists that both sides "put politics aside" — and simply enact the Democratic minority agenda. There's post-partisanship for you, Chicago style. What's next? Will President B.O. take a page from the National Lampoon? "If Republicans don't raise taxes and jack up the debt ceiling, we'll kill this dog!"
November 2012 cannot come soon enough. I only wonder… if Barack Obama continues on the path he has trodden for the past two and a half years, will he become the first incumbent president to lose all fifty-seven states?

Take a lot of measurements and pictures! As far as the panels go I would try to replace as much metal as needed and go one panel at a time. Some areas you might have to remove more than one panel but remember that the car has a unibody and basically the body is the frame.
Ford started putting the passenger side torque box in the cars (Mustang coupes and fastbacks) in 68 and if you had a 6 I cant remember if they got them but I think they did. You can add one very easily if you dont care about the car being original. Besides its your car so you can do what you want with it.
I was concerned over whether a car that didn't come with one would have the provisions to add one in. It's a daily driver (230k) with a street resto (paint, interior, suspension). Since my daughters both drove it to high school I added safety stuff: Granada PD brakes, shoulder belts, and high back seats out of a '70. I'm just working it to keep it functional/safe and drive it forever.
the only "don't do it" reason I can think of is if you want to keep a correctly restored car
it's a triangle, your adding (back) alot of strength to the subframe to the rockers connecting pieces that have been flexing and flexing and flexing....... for 40 years
Ford used one only to keep the car price down on 289 models, (65-66 have none) , it's a Falcon frame, designed for a lighter, less tq motor, needs help after 40 years
t-box's on p.side
I can't remember where I read it but I know I have read where people have put in a torque box on the passenger side of models that had only one. I think this was done in particular where the HP was increased as a means of dealing with any increase in torque commensurate with an engine upgrade.
I would certainly do it and if you can't find a ready made box I would make one. After dealing with mine, I don't think you would have much difficulty in making one or even fashioning something that would closely match their intent.
If I come across where I've read this I'll pass it on. I'd be surprised also if someone registered here hasn't done it already.
Hi guys,
I've been watching your posts with interest. I pulled up the carpet I installed 18 years ago on my 67 (on a solid floor), and found the floor mats are what was keeping my feet off the pavement. I'll be doing floor pans, toe boards and T-boxes as soon as I get space in the garage. Question: the coupes came only withthe d-side T-box. Is there any reason not to put both back in when I do this work?
Glad it worked
On sealing it, you can't keep the crap out, especially when you use reverse
So only seal the vertical sides and top on the front facing the tire
Leave the bottem rear wide open so it dries quickly and road bumps shake some of the crap out
With the crap, and no salt, they should last another 20 years+
Once a year? bang on them with a 2 pound hammer to break the crap loose so it will shake out
Got GA clay? cut a 1" hole in the bottem rear so you can put a piece of hose on a pressure washer and blast it out
If you ever do another torque box install, spray the sh## out of it inside and out and the toe board with Duplicolor bedliner spray($7 Walmart/auto parts store,).
Also excellent for your new floors, sand with 80 grit and spray, tough as nails and absolutely water proof and if it ever does get scratched you just clean it and re-spray, it re-wets itself and bonds to the first layer.
Great product! try a can
Last thought, do seal the sh## out of the inside left where the toe board/torque box and floor and unibody all come together, "pack it" with caulk
taking the torque box apart
Taking the torque box apart was a good idea. In my project update you can see the box installed now. It fits pretty well and both joints inherent to the box are better now for it.
I'll take your advice on filling the gaps with a good sealer as well. The problem with the original set up is that there are holes that allow dirt and debris to fill up any cavity that is not plugged up. This material holds moisture which in the end is death to what ever it is exposed to. It's like holding a wet sponge on the material indefinitely. It doesn't take long in that kind of environment for rust through.
I've got some touch up to do on the floor interior but for the most part I'm done with this side. This week I'll work on the passenger side floor and torque box. It looks to be in better shape and I'm counting on less trouble. (That'll probably jinx er right there)
coat the hell out of inside of the d-side torque box and caulk the top gaps to direct the dirt and water for best drainage along the bottem
The driver side doesn't fit because over the years the motor torque has bent everything as it got weaker.
It would take a good frame machine to twist everything back.
torque box's
Well you're getting real time info here today. I just gave up on fitting the torque box. The top of the left box at the bend just in front of the spot welds is the problem. The bend needs to be closer to the top edge, it's too low. In order to get the
&$%*@ thing to fit i'm going to have to cut the spot welds free, rebend the end and reweld it. Otherwise all other dimensions appear to be good. There is simply no way it's going to fit as well as the original but I want it as close as possible.
I checked out that site you referenced on the '69 rebuild. He did a great job documenting his work. Not sure I agree with the way he did everything, but it's likely he wouldn't agree with what I'm doing either. I wouldn't have cut out both floors at the same time nor would I butt weld the joints on the quarter panels. A lap joint if done properly is not very obvious on the q panels unless you look for it. You can buy pneumatic crimpers for building the perfect lap joint and end up with a very strong weld. On the other hand there is something satisfying about knowing the joint is more difficult to detect as in the case of a well ground butt weld. I wish he had shown close ups of his finished weld as it might help me to change my mind on my approach.
I took some pictures today of what I've done on the drivers side floor, floor support and some material replacement in advance of the torque box installation. I'll try to get them posted this week. Let me know what you think and thanks for the reply once again.
I swear those torque boxes are "one size fits all" and maybe just change a part #.....
What I have found is the welds in a row along the rear bottem are very weak.
You can cut them loose with just a hack saw and bend the whole piece to fit better in a vise.
I use a couple of 1/4-20 bolts to hold the shape till everything is fitted then re-do the original welds.
And you took all the fun part out of the project using a spot weld cutter.......alot more fun to play "Texas Chain Saw Massacre" with a sawsall on the floors!
drivers side floor complete
To: Stangman & red65 mustang
Thanks to both of you for the feedback, I'll check out that site stangman.
I have one floor complete, one floor extension support replaced, I've rebuilt the frame rail and welded in a new plate on the end of the rocker panel beam under where the torque box fits. The torque box doesn't quite fit the way I would like it too so am taking a break today and will tackle it tomorrow. suspect I need to make some minor modifications to it. the floor fit like a glove and the torque box is close so am happy with the supplier so far.
I braced the rocker panel with some square tubing to the floor which seem to hold things aligned while I worked on the floor and frame. Couldn't use my door, missing a hinge that I seem to get outbid on whenever they are available on ebay. Resisting buying a new one as they are expensive. Will post some new pictures this week.
Your order is correct, frame, then floor boards and toeboards, then torque box.
Do one side at a time to keep the unibody straight.
Do ask for "American Designer" brand parts.
|69 Stang Man
Be Careful!
You may want to go slow. If you can cut out and replace one piece at a time trying to keep the car structurely sound as you go. If you start hacking away at a uni-body it will start to flex as the supporting structure is cut. If you are going to have it mounted so you can spin it, don't forget to install door braces, or leave the doors on and closed as you cut the floor out to help keep the shape. You are taking on a big project, but it can be done right with a little skill and a lot of pre-planning. One place that helped me out a lot was... http://together.net/~manycj/mustang/mustang1.htm
Check this out, he did a total rip down and build up and had the smarts to photograph every step. If a picture is worth a thousand words, this guy's site could fill a couple books. My 69 is down to the bare shell and I'm about to do the boxes' and floor so I feel your pain bro. You won't have to rip out so much hair if you GO SLOW.
I appreciate both your comments regarding my problem. I found a place called Canadian Mustang Parts Store, however I know it is affiliated with an American counterpart. I don't know if it the same place you talk about but I will exercise some diligence before I order anything. (I've not order anything as yet)
I've spent the last few weeks researching a wide variety of issues that relate to the work ahead of me. I've purchased a new MIG welder, tracking down some 25/75 argon/CO2 gas and flow-meter. I bought myself a high quality spot weld cutter, which is worth every penny. I'm likely going to order the floor pans, torque box, frame rail extensions, rear quarter panels and a front fender prior to Christmas. If I buy at least $600 worth of parts, shipping is free. Canadian Mustang Parts Store is in Langley B.C. (thats in the coastal province adjacent to Alberta to the west for those of you not familiar with Canadian geography) I live quite far north so the shipping is a potentially large component of my costs.
I will ask for some references and follow up prior to ordering what I need.
I would still very much like to talk with someone who might understand how the load is carried throughout the Mustang body and to what extent I can rely on the remaining structure to carry the load after I remove these parts. I think I understand how the load is supposed to be carried when the car has it's full integrity, but like this it is clearly different and a bit more complex.
Again, thanks for the comments and keep em coming.....about this or any other aspect of the work facing me. JT
|jt-I have totally rebuilt two 64-1/2 mustangs in the past,one a nearly rust free car but the first one needed a lot in the way of panel and frame repair. If you have not bought your replacement parts yet I would suggest you be very careful when you do as I found out the hard way that all the parts suppliers do not sell the same quality parts. If you have already removed the frame pieces you could run into the same problem that I did with parts that only came close to fitting. I finally figured out that the reason I could not get anything to line up properly was due to a frame rail that was formed 1/8" too narrow and a fender apron that only closely resembled the original. These parts came from a major supplier(mustangs unlimited)and some were the so-called better quality parts(floor pans)which fit ok but had seat belt anchors and indents for the park brake cable brackets located in the wrong place. In fairness to mustangs unlimited they offered to take these parts back but in my opinion they should not sell junk like this in the first place. I ended up reordering from another supplier(NPD) that sells American designers brand American made parts and the quality difference was apparent when I opened the box, they fit! I am not trying to plug for any supplier as more than one sells these parts but one needs to ask before ordering. It is easy to see the alignment problems one can encounter when replacing frame and suspension parts and when the replacements don't fit it can be a nightmare that is why I try to pass on my experience with bad quality imports whenever I can.

Found a yellow jacket nest last summer and we poured gasoline down the hole. I didn't know you had to light it up!!. I would be afraid to do that around these parts with everything so bone dry.
It was very close to the house.
Kedgel, lighting it is:1. Dangerous from a fire standpoint.2. Possibly explosive if it gets trapped in an open area underground.3. Less effective, since it will many times burn above the nest and leave the queen and brood below, which survive.4....Most important.... It is putting bad info out to the members that don't know better and are looking for a solution to a problem, not bigger problems.

have any of u ever done a throw with markers, me and my mate did't have any paint and got the smart idea to do it with markers, i'll get some pictures later
Mo-Town bombers PM me
how big was the throw man and the markers cuz that seems kinda dumb to me
@mor damn man idk what id do prolly jsut savor it in my corner wishing it would work one day lol
Cause im having a lil trouble with two O's in my name, i was wondering should i stick to 'Rook' or make it 'Rok'. But i prefer stick to 'Rook' and then is the reall question that i dont how to improve my O's?
But just practice on simple O's in begin? Only simples or more own style to add on my O's?
Hello everyone,
This is indeed my first post. I know I'm a toy and everything, and I know that no matter how good of a question I ask that most of the replies will be sarcastic answers meant to demean me. But as an aspiring writer and photographer I am inclined to get writers opinions on the subject.
Being a photographer, I enjoy going out and finding different subjects to capture. Graffiti is a very interesting subject and I enjoy photographing it. So here is my question. Obviously I photograph pieces and whatnot to document them. If I captured a piece regularly (no artistic touch given) first, then put my own photographic spin on it in a separate picture, would you (as the writer) get mad?
what, do you mean photo shopping?
Mo-Town bombers PM me
I was reading up on photographing graffiti and I came across someone who said that you should just document it. No other elements in it to make it the photographer's own vision (like blur, or portrait work with pieces as a background, or just capturing it as an artistic photograph). I thought that was quite strange since most photographers' goals are to make every picture their own statement. Did that make sense?
graff is done in public, it's free for anyone to shoot, photoshop, jerk off to.. whatever floats your boat dude. if writers didn't want you to see their shit, there wouldn't be any graff. Do whatever you please with whatever you please, no one can stop you.
As long as you don't claim to be the one who wrote pieces present in your photos, and as long as you don't sell those photos and/or make money out of them (any commercial use of others' works - unless it;s your job to do so, like if you're a journalist or something) no one cares about it.
just know your limits, know the history by educating yourself about this thing you claim to "admire", and don't post THROW-UPS in a TAGS thread
well in that sense, yeah knock your self out
on a more serious note tomorrow i'm going to bunnings(hardware store) and racking some paint, if i fill up a chiller bag(one of those cheap ones from coles) and walk out of the drive in place you get the wood you think i'll get stopped, and if i am stopped what should i say?
i'm new to racking paint so don't rip my nuts off, i'm just asking

if you get caught and it's all out in the open, the best thing to do is to be VERY nice and cooperative. own up to what you did and appologize politely. say you'll pay for the stuff and that you realize what you did was wrong and that you promise you won't steal again, and if they're chill enough, they'll just let you go in peace... don't struggle and make things worse by being a dick. and smile in gratitude if you're let go. say thanks also.
and that's how you trick a home free
what if your a broke bastard like, can't afford to pay for the paint and that why your stealing. also i just cut into the foam a little to make a little pouch for markers
Mo-Town bombers PM me
Most stores have a policy of not stopping shoplifters. They may ask you to stop, but if you keep going they typically wont stop you. It's not worth the 40 bucks in loss to get hurt. You can typically find out what their policy is online or by talking to employees. They may have hired security out side in a car like at walmart but you can usually get by them. Just try not to look like a scumbag going in and a nervous wreck leaving. If you want to minimize risk you could grab a dollar can and a bunch of whatever else you want and use a self check out just ringing up the dollar can for each can you picked up.
Damn Pete thats way clever, never thoight bout that, I usually pay 2.99 a can of Rusto.
yeah over here a can of fiddly bits is 3.89 a can and it's like water, so you have to pay 7 bucks a can for white knight or export which aren't that bad
Mo-Town bombers PM me
2.99 for rust-o aint bad. here its like 5 bucks.
Ya Co has bomb prices at local hardware. But id still rather pay a dollar for it when I decide to pay lol

3. "Bacon" is an Anglicism, not actually commonly used in French. When it is used in French, it is italicized to indicate that it is of foreign origin.
4. "The Treachery of Images" is notoriously badly parodied. The point of "The Treachery of Images" is that the picture is of a pipe, but because it is just a picture, it is not really a pipe, hence the caption. Your picture is captioning something that isn't a picture of bacon, with the caption "this isn't bacon".
3. I am French Canadian, and I eat non-italicized bacon.
The Franco-French don't eat bacon, they eat lardons, which is the same meat but in little cubes, not sliced. Serve it to them sliced and they will also call it bacon and they will not italicize.
Bacon actually comes from ancient French (like anything good in the English culture, wink wink) Bakko or Bakkon, and returned later to describe thinly sliced smoked and salted pork that the English, Americans and both kinds of Canadians eat.
4. For someone who calls this Canadian bacon, the shirt works, no? Sends them into a mental tailspin they will not recover from.
This is a fine shirt, but poor criticism.

Moral of the story, debating what is/is not offensive on these forums is pointless. If you find another venue that would print this shirt, let us know. I'll buy it.

Re: TEXAS CHAINSAW BBQ
I posted the basic premise of this design in This Thread and Drakxxx suggested that I use the character from Motel Hell in the design. So, I sent him a PM asking if he'd be interested in collaborating on it with me. He agreed and, I was stoked.
I sent a couple of quick thumbs to sort show what kind of design I had in mind.
In no time at all, he sent back the great drawing of the pig character and I went to work on a layout. This was what I initially came up with. I ended up getting slammed with deadlines, so I had to put it on the back burner for a week or so.
He thought the type should be bigger, so I set out to work on it. I got half way through lettering "Texas" and decided I wanted to go a different direction with the layout. I thought about those great roadside billboards in the middle of nowhere, that you see when you're taking a road trip ("peggy sue's 50's syle diner, 10 miles ahead exit 128). I also wanted the "Chainsaw" letters to have a sort of blade-like quality to them and and thought that at least one of the words should have a sort of "chaotic" look to them. So, I trashed what I was working on and came up with this layout.
Drakxxx thought it would be cool to add some splatters and stuff dripping off of the chainsaw. He sent a quick mock-up of what we was visualizing and I incorporated into the coloring. I sent him the final color version and he didn't have any more notes for me. We were both pretty happy with how it came out and thought this derby was a great opportunity to see what the community thought of it.

manikx66 wrote:For starters why have you not left comments on Prehistoric Meat Chart and diagram of a pig these are both also animal meat charts. Similar to An exhaustive guide to cuts of meat but different such as mine is. As for plagiarism look up the meaning its taking work that is not yours and using it for yourself unchanged. If you look at all the meat diagram submissions they are all different in various way. You can assume that they where influenced by the first one but might not have been. Either way as long as they are similar but different it is ok. A while back I did a post with Charlie brown likenesses shortly after it was posted 2 more showed up from that line of characters but I didn't have an issue with it they where different. For the lateness of my submission 1. I work and have a social life so I'm busy with other things, 2 I have other submissions that I had worked on first and 3. I already an idea like this before the derby even started but was not sure about the text rule. After the first wave of rejects went through and other diagrams survived I said what the hell why not submit my version as well.
Animal Meat Charts = boring/overdone.
However, not every animal meat chart uses such similar colors and style as yours and Roberts have. I find it nigh impossible to believe yours isn't highly "influenced" by his. So while "haha it's some SPOOKTACULAR! meat chart joke entry 5" might use the same tired concept, you're using the same tired concept without even using a different style to present it. That is why people are bothering to call you out and just sighing at the others. If you were to put this and the other side by side, the average viewer would presume they were done by the same identical person.
kylemittskus wrote:I don't think that I've ever seen a shirt with a cow on it broken down like this. But, for example, there is a pig shirt in this derby (done not nearly as well). I don't think that either of you stole the other's idea, but it's just that the idea is old. There are plenty of "break-down" designs, shirts and otherwise, that use the same idea but perhaps a different subject.
Yeah I did the pig one. I saw thatrobert's post in the prederby thread. I was in progress with working on mine when I saw basically his completed entry. I sent him a message because I did happen to have another entry that I submitted, and I did not want to infringe on his voting with I was worried was going to be construed as a copy. He responded right away to go ahead and submit mine figuring that there may be a few entries with the concept.
I'm not much of an artist or designer at all. So, you can say that it isn't very original, but when the idea hit me, I wasn't influenced by other shirt designs, posters, comics, etc. I just thought it would be funny to do. Even when I started looking for how to actually create a pig diagram for their cuts of meat, I only found meat packing diagrams and not much in the way of tshirt fodder.
I mean seriously, it is not like I or thatrobert retreaded the same cartoonish squirrel or anime/meme blank faced furry creature ;-)

has anyone used this?
Hmm. . . never heard of it. Sounds like a pretty versatile material.
Are you going to try some out?
I had surgery on my left hand to reattach the tendons in my thumb (don't ask:rolleyes) & the support cast that I had to wear afterwards was made from Wonderflex. It held up really well & I didn't notice any softening of the cast in the summer weather. If I could find a local supplier I would use this instead of Sintra.
wonderflex is what some of the Japanese gundam cosplayers use to make their robot costumes. It seems to be able to take a lot of abuse, but they also use thick craft foam, which is very fragile when heat formed and doesn't retain its shape. It is easy to work with, but I wouldn't use it for everything. I have only used it for small things. Here's an example of craft foam and wonderflex.
As I understand it, the helmets are a combination of the two.
The guy in the middle was photoshopped in there...I couldn't resist. :p
I'm trying to figure out if it's worth it, and I think it will be.
If I do use it, I'll post about it.
A couple of my Uni friends used this when they were studying. It's used quiet extensively in the UK nursing industry. As BKBT says it can be used to make lightweight and cheap supports etc.

A rectifier is a device that can convert Alternating current (AC) to Direct current (DC). This is a process called rectification. Rectifiers are made of metals like copper, iron, and silver. They can amplify things, such as sound in a stereo. [1]
Half-wave rectifiers only have one side of a waveform, while the full-wave rectifiers use both sides of a waveform. The left-hand side of the full-wave rectifier circuit consists of four diodes: a diode bridge. Half-wave current is a current that can only flow in alternate current, a full-wave current can flow both alternating current and direct current. [2]
Diode bridge is electrical circuit that consists of four diodes. It acts as a full wave rectifier to convert alternating current to direct current.

:confused :confused
I've been wondering since I started my custom Mandalorian project, What is the guidelines or unspoken laws as far as guantlet customization goes.
I have a rough idea of what I hope to create as far as a guantlet goes but I am unaware as to what boundries I can & can not cross when creating a pair or two.
I plan on including the mini missle, darts and key pad like normal. The only extras I was hoping to add would be a double barrel guantlet mounted Ion cannon and a pair of retractible claws (Like the predators). I was also planning on adding a medium sized electronic screen as well (Also like the Predators).
Is this going overboard what do ya'll think??

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Hey baddbob its actually a 92 camaro Today I poured some water into the water channel and nothing came through so I think its getting caught up in the back of the wheel well. I am sure the seam sealer has failed.
Hmmm so epoxy primer and then some urethane seam sealer if I am able to open up the seams. I will give opening the seam a try. It looks really challenging since there are 3 walls to try and open up but if thats possible it makes sense.
Also forgot to memtoin that the rust has some permatex rust blocker on it (put it on there temporarily) and that is why its black.
|The rust looks like a result of moisture crawling into the seam from the bottom. Sometimes dust, etc.. will collect in the seams and actually draw moisture in and hold it there. Is this a european car? it doesn't look familiar to me. Sometimes you can work a stiff putty knife or scraper between the spotwelds and spread the seam open enough to clean it out well with a spot blaster. Us a hammer and tap that putty knife in easily and carefully and the seam will stretch open between the welds. After cleaning just brush some epoxy primer in there, then apply some urethane seam sealer and then hammer and dolly them closed allowing the extra sealer to squish out-I've done this quite a few times when access allowed.
Sounds like you already have a good idea the only way to get rid of it is to cut it out and replace.
That being said your plan of attack doesn't sound too bad.
I've learned that in certain circumstances you can only do the best that you can do given acsess, time, budget, skills and tools available.
Then, someday down the road when or if it gets worse in the time you own the car - you can always cut and repair then.
Rust inbetween Double Seem Questions Advice on ATTACK Plan
Hi all,
I have discovered some rust in my car but I am having a tough time deciding how to fix it . In the picture below I am going to cut out the inner passenger floor board hole and put new sheet metal (shown in green) in. Now the problem is I cannot get behind the curved wheel well where I believe the seem sealer has failed (water is indicated by the green and blue puddles). I am still unsure where the leak is coming from but its 1 of those 2 spots.
There is rust on the inside triple sheet metal welded walls as you can see from the photo. So I was thinking to use some sort of rust converter (such as picklex 20 or eastwoods rust converter other suggestions?) and pouring it into the hole once I find it. After that wheel off as mush rust as possible and then apply some sort of encapsulator such as rust bullet. Then apply seam sealer on top of the rust bullet. On the interior I would wheel off as must rust as possible and apply rust bullet on top of that. My thinking is once the rust bullet and the seam sealer are down no more water will penetrate and hence the rust will not be able to grow anymore.
What are peoples thoughts on this attack plan?

I released my first issue of jack unsane, a chapbook, in 2002. A few years later I politicized it up and released a zine of essays, and a few years after that, created a zine collage to bring me down from a panic attack and displayed it in a group show for Women's History Month. I moved to a whole 'nother city because of a zinefest; learned immeasurable amounts about race, feminism, gender variance, activism, and good great awesome music from zines; made so many wonderful friends because of zines; I climbed out of epic sadness to real joy white making a zine. Zines have changed my life!
We invite you to take part in the First International Exhibition "ZINESHOW" in Ukraine. Participation is free. Any technique. No return. Deadline: 15/04/2013.

Playing chase games with food - good idea/bad idea
Hello everyone,
After reading about Raw feeding etc I decided to treat the pup to a raw chicken wing last night (don't tell my wife)
He reacted really oddly, he didn't realise it was food at first and kept looking at me as if to ask "what should I do with it Dad?" When he started to twig he was playing with it like a cat would a mouse, pouncing and jumping on it, nipping and running away - I think he thought this thing was a live and might bite him.
Anyway, it occurred to me I could turn this into some great games by tying the wing to a rope and making him chase it round the garden.
I like to sound of this but alarm bells are ringing somewhere. Like maybe I might be teaching bad behavior or bringing out a killer instinct or something?
He is going to be a pet not a working dog if that makes any difference. Also I want him to be friendly to my pet chickens (although they are covered in feathers)
Any thoughts?

Sunday's Boston Coverage
Bruins-Sabres Preview (AP)
Sabres' Miller talks tough season, hope in Buffalo
'That is something they probably want to start talking about in the next few months. A lot of that is going to be dictated by the kind of plan we have here. Obviously, last year was a tough year. This year, we still have a lot of time to write our own story. We will see how things play out and see what the plan is. It seems like the plan is shifting a bit with the departure of some guys and how things have shaped up this year. We have to adjust and see what the plan is.'
Leopold traded before Sabres lose in shootout
'"Where our hockey club is right now we have to be open to listening to just about anything and everything, and I am listening," Regier said between trading Jordan Leopold to St. Louis and watching the Sabres lose, 4-3, in a shootout to Washington. "We have to be open to everything, and I think the players recognize that as well."'
Leino bounces back with two goals
'"We have to stay aggressive," Leino said. "We start games really aggressive. Some games we do really well. We just got to keep it going 60 minutes. It's not enough to do 40 or 20."'
Sabres blow another third-period lead, fall to Capitals in shootout
'Up two goals and on the power play Saturday, the Capitals' Troy Brouwer scored short-handed 2:21 into the third period. "After that," said Sabres winger Ville Leino, who scored twice, "they were fired up and wanted to win the game."'
Regier says Sabres could trade top assets before deadline
'"We have to be open to everything, and we have to be open to that as well," Regier said. "You're looking to get a group of top players that are going to play together, not on a one-year basis, but, going forward, (a) multi-year basis. And so that's our focus, and it could involve any players, and I think the players are aware of that."'

'Schaller, 22, signed an entry level contract with the Buffalo Sabres and plans to join the team in the summer. He said he won't be reporting to the team's AHL affiliate, but will finish school and report to Buffalo's summer development camp in July.'
Green rallies Caps to 4-3 SO win over Sabres
'The Sabres have squandered two-goal leads six times this season, and they were coming off a game in which they blew a third-period lead in a 5-4 shootout loss at Florida on Thursday.'
Sabres trade D Leopold to Blues for 2 draft picks
'The Sabres have traded away two defensemen this month, and general manager Darcy Regier has indicated he's interested in making trades to help the team beyond this season. T.J. Brennan was dealt to Florida on March 15 in exchange for a fifth-round pick.'
Washington 4, Buffalo 3 (SO)
'Buffalo seemed well on its way to collecting two crucial points as it led 3-1 after two frames, but the Capitals battled back with a pair of goals in the third to force an extra session.'
Blues pick up Leopold from Sabres
'The 30-year-old blueliner registered two goals and six assists in 24 games for the Sabres this season, following a two-year stretch with the franchise that saw him strike for 23 goals and 59 points in 150 appearances.'
Green's deja vu rallies Capitals past Sabres
'"It shouldn't happen," Leino said of the loss. "Good teams usually win those games and teams that have success usually end up winning those games." Sabres interim coach Ron Rolston was left searching for answers following the disappointing loss and had short responses in his session with the media. "Just keep working day by day, make it better," Rolston said.'
Capitals win 4-3 in shootout
'The Buffalo Sabres are tied in points (31) with the Washington Capitals, but are trailing in the tiebreaker.'

You may not know this, but sadly Toledo, Ohio is a part of the human trafficking ring in the United States. It's disturbing, but true. I was shocked when I found that out after the recovery of a missing teenager who had been abducted off the street, and that is exactly why awareness needs to be raised for this issue.
I suggest that you start your visit out at the About page. You'll learn all about how this site and the campaign came to exist, how you can become an activist for this cause, and while you're on this page be sure to check out the videos.
As for navigating the rest of the site – make sure you check out the handy navigation strip at the top of the page where you will find the following categories: About, Slavery, International, Take Action, and News.
I would recommend definitely checking out the Slavery section. It will raise your awareness of just how human trafficking is a global problem, and why we often have no idea that it exists right in our own city.
I was quite impressed with the information presented on this site, and I want to help raise awareness for this issue by sharing it with all of you, and I hope that you will all do the same and pass it along. We can't change what we don't know and understand. Pass this one along!

I must of inadvertantly left my MVP on when I stored it. It was totally dead when I got it out for it's bi yearly charging. The low power light would only light briefly. After 24 hours of charging(come w/ a little AC/DC adapter) when turned on the low powerr light will light. If I keep charging it will it ever get to the meduim charge(light will light) or the high charge mark(last light in a series of three). Should I just scrap it and accept my loss.???

MVP Portable battery/jump starterYou can never have enough drills-too many is just enough!!!!!
Re: MVP Portable battery/jump starter
Rather than trashing it, you should be able to open it up and replace the battery inside at a lower cost than to buy the whole thing. If you can gain access to the battery let me know all the info on it and I bet I can help you obtain a good replacement.
Most Jump Starters use a sealed lead-acid battery and if they are totally run down and let sit the battery becomes pretty worthless. Under federal law the battery must be taken to a battery dealer (automotive) to be recycled. Do NOT place such in the trash. Please don'tLast edited by Woussko; 07-18-2007, 09:06 AM.
Re: MVP Portable battery/jump starter
a new 12 volt battery for that is approx. $20. it will be just like new and you can get a better higher capacity battery once you have the specs. i have a couple comparable units and the battery is meant to be replaced.
rick.phoebe it is
Re: MVP Portable battery/jump starter
You have my regular e-mail address and more. Keep in contact as I have several very good sources for this type of battery. They can ship directly to you if you call them with needed info and a major credit card. I can also work with them and with you on this. I'm pretty sure you have local sources as well. Which brand and model do you have. Tech support may be able to give me the info I need to figure out a proper replacement and as Rick said there are better than origional replacement batteries out there.
Re: MVP Portable battery/jump starter
Since the batery quote was $45.99 and the unit is 6 years old;I purchased this!!!!http://www.amazon.com/Xantrex-852-20...01&pf_rd_i=ybh Figure since I have no generator this would come in handy in case of no power!!!!Thanks for the advice all!!!!You can never have enough drills-too many is just enough!!!!!
Re: MVP Portable battery/jump starter
A little on the heavy side, but I like that it has a 12 Volt 28 Amp Hr battery. Most have a 12-20 Amp Hr battery until you go high end. In a way I hate to confess but for jump starting I use a group 27 Marine battery in a tuff plastic case and good heavy duty jumper cables. That gets the job done for sure. Even for many Diesel engine Pickups unless they use a 24 Volt system.
Re: MVP Portable battery/jump starter
I have an MVP jump starter (and no instructions). Don't know if there's a problem or if I'm doing something wrong. The charger seems dicey somehow, and when disconnected I get only three of the four power-up lights on, however long I've left it charging.
When I connect up to the car battery, I switch on the jump starter - making the round dial thing light up at the front, but I get no effect, not able to start the car.
Any clues anyone?

Sixteen members of the Arsenal first-team squad were called up by their countries for international friendlies this week. Here's a digest of all the games featuring the Gunners.
Bacary Sagna, Gael Clichy and Samir Nasri
England 1-2 France, November 17
Bacary Sagna and Samir Nasri were instrumental in France's 2-1 win over England on Wednesday night. Nasri dictated play from midfield and Sagna superbly set up his side's second on a comfortable night for Laurent Blanc's team at Wembley. Karim Benzema opened the scoring after 16 minutes when he played a neat one-two with Florent Malouda inside the area before drilling a low shot past Ben Foster at his near post. Nasri then began to control the pace of the game in midfield along with Mathieu Valbuena as Les Bleus went into half time in front. Sagna then created the second goal for Valbuena on 55 minutes when he crossed brilliantly for the midfielder to slot home from 12 yards. Sagna was substituted with just three minutes to go as France ran down the clock after Peter Crouch's consolation a minute earlier. Gael Clichy was an unused substitute.
Theo Walcott and Kieran Gibbs
England 1-2 France, November 17
Theo Walcott and Kieran Gibbs played 45 and 72 minutes respectively for England as they lost 2-1 against France on Wednesday. Gibbs impressed at left back on his first start for his country and came up against the overlapping Bacary Sagna on numerous occasions. Walcott struggled to get into the game as England went down to an impressive France side.
Cesc Fabregas
Portugal 4-0 Spain, November 17
Cesc Fabregas came on as a half-time substitute for Spain as the world champions suffered a 4-0 defeat against Portugal on Wednesday. Fabregas came on with the score at 1-0 before Helder Postiga netted a brace and Hugo Almeida added a fourth on a disappointing night for Vicente del Bosque's side in Lisbon.
Marouane Chamakh
Northern Ireland 1-1 Morocco, November 17
Marouane Chamakh opened the scoring for Morocco as they drew 1-1 with Northern Ireland on Wednesday. The Arsenal man fortuitously put his side ahead ten minutes into the second half before being substituted with 19 minutes remaining. Rory Patterson equalised four minutes from time and the game in Belfast ended all-square.
Robin van Persie
Holland 1-0 Turkey, November 17
Robin van Persie came on as a half-time substitute for Holland as they beat Turkey 1-0 on Wednesday. Klass Jan Huntelaar scored the winner seven minutes after the break when he was played through and dinked the ball over goalkeeper Volkan Demirel.
Johan Djourou
Switzerland 2-2 Ukraine, November 17
Johan Djourou played the full 90 minutes on his return to the Switzerland side as they drew 2-2 with Ukraine on Wednesday. The Swiss twice lead through the prolific Alex Frei though Aleksandr Aliyev and then Yevhen Konoplyanka equalised for Ukraine.
Lukasz Fabianski
Poland 3-1 Ivory Coast, November 17
Lukasz Fabianski played the full 90 minutes for Poland as they beat Ivory Coast 3-1 in Poznan on Wednesday. Robert Lewandowski put Franciszek Smuda's side ahead after 19 minutes before Gervinho equalised on the stroke of half time. Second-half goals from Ludovic Obraniak and Lewandowski's second gave Poland the win.
Tomas Rosicky
Denmark 0-0 Czech Republic, November 17
Tomas Rosicky played 45 before being substituted as Czech Republic drew 0-0 with Denmark on Wednesday.
Andrey Arshavin
Russia 0-2 Belgium, November 17
Andrey Arshavin played the full 90 minutes as Russia lost 2-0 at home to Belgium on Wednesday. Romelo Lukaku scored goals either side of half time to inflict a surprise defeat on Dick Advocaat's side.
Emmanuel Eboue
Poland 3-1 Ivory Coast, November 17
Emmanuel Eboue played 54 minutes before being substituted in Ivory Coast's 3-1 defeat against Poland on Wednesday.
Henri Lansbury
Germany Under-21s 2-0 England Under-21s, November 16
Henri Lansbury incredibly ended up playing in goal for England Under-21s as they lost 2-0 against Germany on Tuesday. Half-time substitute goalkeeper Jason Steele was sent off after 58 minutes when he conceded a penalty for bringing down Boris Vukcevic and Lansbury was the man given the gloves for the final half an hour. His first task was to face Cenk Tosun's penalty and although that was scored he stood firm and looked assured when Germany tried to pepper his goal when in range. The Arsenal man even made a fine point-blank save to tip over a German header and also held a six-yard volley from Max Beister.

About the Book
In the New York Times bestseller Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man—the basis for the #1 box office smash—Steve Harvey gave millions of women around the globe insight into what men really think about love, intimacy, and commitment. In Straight Talk, No Chaser, he zeroes in on what motivates men and provides tips on how women can use that knowledge to get more of what they need out of their relationships, whether it's more help around the house or more money in the joint savings account. Harvey also shares invaluable information on:• How to minimize nagging and maximize harmony at home
• Dating tips for women in their 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, and beyond
• What men think about "intimidating women"
Drawing on a lifetime of experience and the feedback women have shared with him in reaction to Act Like a Lady, media personality, philanthropist, and (finally) happily married man Steve Harvey proves once again—with his trademark wit and no-nonsense honesty—that he is the ultimate guide to understanding what men think when they think about women.
