Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by J.Wilson, May 10, 2012.
I really thought he was gonna like the bacon thread.
Maybe we should have pointed him to the gardening thread instead?
I hoped this might become a series. The People vs. Charlie V or the People vs. Walker D Russell etc.
Maybe the Bacon thread scares away too many newbies. Still waiting for a luggage salesman to open up a thread.
Where is that bacon thread?
Case closed, Mr. Wilson?
Maybe Wilson got stranded on an island....
He just joined to promote his blog. So I copy pasted the article into the OP and removed his links. Fair turnabout because it is bad manners to sign up on another person's website, and promote yourself without at least showing the community the respect of making a few posts around the joint first.
I agree. You may even want to remove the links from BDL's and Pass' replies to his original post.
I think those 2 are in on the scam with Mr. Wilson.
I think Dumars wasn't as good as he appeared during the good days and not as bad as he appears during the bad days. Hate to say it but there is an element of luck involved. I think I would make a change if the right person was interested. I love Jeff Van Gundy. I would first see if he would coach. And if not, I would consider him for the GM. In this scenario, put his bro in for coach. Obviously, I would also consider Phil Jackson as GM. I doubt seriously those two would be interested in coaching the Pistons but I think they could be lured to GM. I love their basketball intellect and I think they both have a lot to offer. But I can still live with Dumars if the right guy was not available. Dumars still understands what it takes to win, although I despise what Stern has done to the game. Unfortunately it's not the same game it was twenty years ago.
Round, I don't remember CB breaking down at all. Sheed was breaking down. And though CB was the kindling for all many Pistons' fans wrath, I'm not sure he was.
CB had a heavy body structure. As age set in, he needed an excellent backup (no, this was not Rodney) who not only should have set a different tempo, but would have structured a different offense that gave CB rest for the fourth quarter and worked to his strengths. He had coaches that dominated their outlook in winning the most games. Sheed was all mental. He just quite liking the game and floated about his disdain which just highlighted his own fourth circle of the three-ring circus.
She was all mental. He just quite liking the game and floated about his disdain which just highlighted his own fourth circle of the three-ring circus., quote P99 * Brilliant - CB didn't start breaking down until his second year at Nuggs.

Making a Move
Due to events in 2012 Sandman had to give up the domain name Sleepnet and move to this location. All of the past content, over 300K pages, has been moved here and undated. Due to the size of the site the update will happen over time. Eventually all the pages will have the same look and feel of this Homepage.
Changes in Site Navigation
One challenge over the years was to find a way to quickly find the information one needed. Sleep disorders is a multidimensional subject making it difficult to quickly find information. The first stage of improvement will be showing quick guides to eliminate a couple steps. The final step will be drop down menus to give the opportunity to find the exact page you want in one step.
Feedback Wanted
The goal of NeedSleep is to offer the best
information and education to the public around the world
about sleep and sleep disorders.

Butler uses church roots to hit down-home chord

U.S. Senate candidate Keith Butler talks with Yvette Robinson, left, of Detroit and Cheryl Costantino of Harper Woods at the Art Exchange Gallery in Detroit. Butler had been campaigning since 7 a.m. on Wednesday last week; this stop went into the evening and was his last of the day. (HEATHER ROUSSEAU/Special to the Free Press)

Butler on issues
Come back Friday
This is the first of two stories about the Republicans running in the Aug. 8 primary for the chance to take on Democratic U.S. Sen. Debbie Stabenow in the November general election. Come back Friday for the story about Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard.
Butler in brief
Age: 50
Political party: Republican
Running for: U.S. Senate
Current job: Senior pastor, Word of Faith International Christian Center
Previous elective office: Detroit City Council, 1990-94
Residence: Troy
Education: Bachelor's degree, University of Michigan at Dearborn, where he studied sociology, psychology and history; completed theological studies, Rhema Bible Training Center near Tulsa, Okla.
What he drives: Chevrolet TrailBlazer
Last book read: "The World Is Flat"
Best movie seen in the last 12 months: Spends free time with family
He's a big -- make that huge -- fan of guns. He wears genuine alligator shoes. He says "ma'am" a lot and introduces himself in a deep bass voice with a slight Southern drawl.
He is more handshaker than backslapper, more preacher than politician.
That's some of what you learn in a day campaigning with Keith Butler, who is running an underdog race for U.S. Senate as that rare political commodity -- a conservative black Republican candidate.
A minister, Butler serves up the Republican gospel of traditional values and small government but adds the notion that the party of Abraham Lincoln should be the true spiritual home for African Americans. He has called the GOP his party for nearly half of his 50 years.
He faces Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard in the Aug. 8 Republican primary for the chance to meet Sen. Debbie Stabenow, a first-term Democrat, in November.
A year ago, Butler was the favorite after Bouchard dropped out for health reasons. Bouchard rejoined the race in October, saying his problems were resolved. Now Butler is the underdog, but only slightly, says Bill Ballenger of the newsletter Inside Michigan Politics. Polls show that Butler trails.
"I'm going to surprise the political pundits," he says.
A native Detroiter, Butler -- who now lives in a mansion in Troy -- is still comfortable on the city's streets.
He is also at home on the main streets of towns like Brooklyn and DeWitt, where his pro-family, pro-marriage, anti-abortion views appeal.
From dirt-poor roots that stretch to rural Mississippi and Alabama, Butler has become the wealthy chief executive of an international religious empire.
To his mega-church's 22,000 members, he is "Bishop," head of the Word of Faith church in Southfield, which he founded. He also founded 26 other churches, as far away as Bulgaria.
Among conservative out-state Michiganders hungry for a candidate who talks their language, he's a near celebrity.
"I can't wait to tell all my friends that I met him," gushed Lorene Knight, 52, a clerk in the Register of Deeds Office in Clinton County. Butler walked through Knight's office in St. Johns last week, looking for hands to shake.
Knight heard about Butler from friends at her church, the Church of the Living Word in Ovid. She said he has her vote.
"I'm Christian and pro-life, and I've heard friends talking about him. He targets exactly what we're looking for," she said.
Down the hall, District Judge Dick Wells said he, too, would vote for Butler.
"I'm impressed by a Republican who can win in Detroit," he said. "The only way we'll win that Senate seat back is to win in Detroit."
Butler likes to talk about his only stint in politics, four years on the Detroit City Council starting in 1990. He's the only Republican elected to the council since World War II.
"I was wildly popular with the people because I got things done," he said.
Butler's not-so-secret campaign strategy -- beyond appealing to heartland conservatives -- is pulling votes from Detroit, first to beat Bouchard and then to upset Stabenow.
"If he were a different kind of black Republican, this would be his year," said Mildred Gaddis, an influential talk show host on WCHB-AM (1200) radio in Detroit. "The landscape is awesome to send a message that we don't want Democrats to take us for granted."
But she said black Detroiters, while respecting Butler as a minister, don't see him as one of them because he hasn't spoken out on city issues.
"He misused the pulpit to help George Bush get elected, and a lot of people were offended," she said.
Butler has raised $2.6 million, compared with Bouchard's $2.1 million, as of June 30. At least $85,000 in donations have come from members of Butler's churches. He hopes Democrats and independents in Detroit will cross over and vote for him in the primary, something political analysts like Ballenger say is iffy.
In a typical Detroit primary, Democrats outnumber Republicans 6 to 1.
A day on the campaign trail
Butler started his day a week ago Wednesday before 7 a.m. as he usually does, in the passenger seat of his black Chevy TrailBlazer while his driver, Robert Gholston, consulted the schedule and plotted their path by GPS.
The first stop was a Beaner's coffee shop on South Cedar in Lansing, which buzzed with other black Republicans. Some were Butler's supporters; some were candidates. Butler greeted people coming in for their daily coffee.
Annie Artis, 37, of Lansing passed out literature for Butler and her husband, John, an Ingham County Commission candidate. Artis owns a small mortgage company and became a Republican in 1982. She's a member of Life Changers Christian Center, which is associated with Butler's church, and has heard Butler speak often.
"Some of the things he said threw me for a loop," especially about wasteful federal spending, she said. "He educates us."
In a back room at Beaner's, Butler sat for a half-hour interview with the Lansing State Journal. In sound bites packed with statistics, he spun his views on subjects from Iraq to health care.
Setting a date for a U.S. exit from Iraq would be wrong because "leaving with our tail between our legs would embolden our opponents, who will attack us all over the globe," he said.
Health care expenses must be pared because they cost Detroit carmakers $1,500 per car while Japanese competitors pay only $300 per car, he said. He decried pork barrel spending by Congress, Democrats and Republicans.
"It favors the politically connected," he said.
Butler talked about the church he and his wife, Deborah, founded in 1979. It has grown into a 110-acre campus with a private Christian academy, a 24-hour phone prayer center, a jet, a Bible institute and programs he said provide food and shelter for tens of thousands of people each year.
One of his TV ads says he helps people, but only if they truly need it.
"I've been a force for good," Butler said. "I don't meet the 'heartless Republican' standard."
He proposes a flat income tax, legislation to make losers in lawsuits pay the expenses of those they sued, and government-funded medical savings accounts for people at birth to buy their own health care for a lifetime. He opposes the Michigan ballot measure that would halt race- and gender-based affirmative action for governments, schools and universities, saying white women have benefited most from it and that racism still exists.
In the campaign, though, Butler said race has not been an issue.
With few exceptions, he said he has been well received: "When people know what I stand for, they support me."
Butler's entourage reached the parking lot outside Sam's Kitchen in DeWitt before lunch.
Sen. Alan Cropsey, one of Michigan's most conservative legislators, accompanied Butler on Cropsey's home turf. Cropsey said he has known Butler since 1988 and was the first legislator to back him. He said Butler epitomizes a compassionate conservative.
"He's seen people who haven't made it, and he has clothed the naked and fed the hungry," Cropsey said.
Outside the restaurant, Jim Kail, 58, spotted the Butlermobile and came running up for bumper stickers and an autograph. "Oh, I definitely plan to vote for him," said Kail, a semiretired electrician. "He has great Christian values and morals. We need people like him."
At the Wheel Inn in St. Johns, while diners ate sloppy joes and drank iced tea, Butler told them: "I'm a gun owner, sir, and a member of the NRA. I love to hunt."
Cropsey chimed in, "He's with us on the Second Amendment."
Back in the car, Butler talked about his love of hunting. From nearly every inch of the high walls of his church office, heads and other mounts of 120 trophies he has killed from South Africa to Alaska peer down at visitors: a lion shot at 13 yards, a black bear, bison, boars, a cougar, moose, caribou, elk, deer.
What he has missed most on the campaign trail, he said, are his family and his hunting.
Detroit and a little Mississippi
As Butler crossed the main street in St. Johns, the driver of a Shred-It truck waved. "Mr. Butler!" he yelled. At the Big Boy, Doug Cook told Butler that he already voted for him by absentee ballot. "He may not be as ultra-conservative as me, but I can handle that," said Cook, a former minister who now markets fertilizers.
At Applebee's in Jackson, Butler talked about himself. He was born on Detroit's west side. His father, Robert, was a laborer who started his own landscape and building company.
His mother, Ida Lajean, was a secretary at American Motors. Butler graduated from Henry Ford High, a mile from his church, and later from the University of Michigan at Dearborn. He learned to be a minister at Rhema Bible Training Center outside Tulsa, Okla. His wife, Deborah, is a minister, as are his son, Keith II, and daughter MiChelle. Daughter Kristina works for the Republican National Committee in Washington.
On his father's side, his grandparents came from Mississippi; on his mother's side, they fled to Detroit from Alabama after the Ku Klux Klan burned a cross on his grandmother's lawn. When Butler was a boy, his father took the children back for summers in Mississippi, where Butler learned to hunt, drive on dirt roads and use an outhouse.
"My dad wanted us to appreciate what he'd done for us," he said.
A push for Detroit votes
It was a long drive out to Brooklyn in the Irish Hills. At 4:30 p.m. at Jerry's Pub, a small handful of backers, mostly Catholics, gathered. Butler supporter Gene Hausmann passed out three pages of his favorite excerpts from Butler's book, "Reviving the American Spirit," published this year.
The day ended with a rally of mostly black Republican candidates at an art gallery on Woodward in Detroit.
"I do not believe Detroit is a throwaway city," Butler said, bringing the crowd of about 60 to its feet. "We need a leader who can speak to all people."
Evelyn Crane has been a member of Butler's church since 1983. A retired deputy superintendent of Detroit Public Schools, she is president of the Sojourner Truth Republican Women's Club.
She agrees with Butler on every issue and says others would if they heard him.
"I think I'll be at the victory breakfast," she said.

I don't think a "churchie" makes a bad politician, unless you are for abortion, as they are always pro-life.
When I think of "churchie", I think of Jesse Jackson. No, I take that back; when I think of "Useless, selfpromoting racist", I think of JJ.

Multnomah University prepares students for meaningful careers that serve Jesus whether they're called to traditional ministry or the marketplace.
Stay connected to our community and help the next generation of Christian leaders become agents of positive change, whether they're serving across the street or across an ocean.
Multnomah Biblical Seminary is offering a Master of Divinity in Theological Studies program this Fall. The new program is a rigorous academic track of the M.Div. designed to prepare students for entrance into advanced degree programs. The Theological Studies track differs from the original M.Div. program at Multnomah, as the focus is on preparing students for a teaching ministry.
"Our new M.Div. in Theological Studies expands Multnomah's goal to train leaders for pastoral and parachurch ministries to our desire to train educators for higher educational institutions," says Dr. Don Brake, Program Coordinator and Dean of the Seminary.
The three-year program provides students with 92 credit hours of advanced graduate-level study and research skills that will prepare them for entrance into a Master of Theology (Th.M.), Doctor of Ministry (D.Min.), or Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D) program. Students will work with original languages to become competent in biblical, theological, and historical studies. In addition, they are required to participate in practical ministry and a supervised teaching practicum.
"Multnomah faculty will act as personal mentors, walking side-by-side with the student throughout his/her course of study, selecting electives, monitoring progress, and serving as thesis adviser," Brake explains.
Strict academic standards have been put in place to encourage a challenging academic environment. Applicants must hold a minimum 3.25 GPA from a college or university for admission into the program. Acceptance is also contingent upon approval following a personal interview with Multnomah's Dean of the Seminary. Enrolled students must maintain a 3.5 GPA or higher for continuance in the program.

Over forty years ago during the Khruschev era, the Russian leader made a slight change in how the Soviet Union was organized by transferring the Crimea area to become part of the Ukraine. The Crimea had the Soviet Union's only seaport in the Black Sea but no one at the time could forsee that decision would create problems in 2008. Today, Russian and Ukrainian ships share the seaport of Sevastopol. During the recent war in Georgia and South Ossetia, the Russian navy played an active role in dealing with Georgian ships. Russian Admiral Andrei Baranov, pointed out his ships played an important role during events in Georgia to protect the rights of Russian citizens, an interesting way of describing those living in South Ossetia.
Rumors are circulating in the Crimea that Russia is issuing Russian passports to thousands of Crimeans in order to create the impression Russians dominate the region. Many Russian political leaders want the 1954 decision to be reversed so Russia can once again claim ownership of the Crimea. Pro-Russia leaders in Sevastopol are furious that the Ukraine has invited NATO ships to dock in the harbor.
Now, is the time to deal with this issue rather than wait until some situation erupts that could have deadly consequences for Europe and the world.

Discussion in 'October 2008' started by max, Oct 6, 2008.
Milwaukee Oct 8 7:30PM - Pre-Season game #2. tv: FSN This one is actually going to be televised.
I'll have to figure out how I will watch this one.
With an open mind and your eyes is usually best.
Time to get my league pass turned on I guess.
I no longer own a television DD.
Wat happen, bro? Got to sell your tv in order to support this place here? Don't worry, we got your back. Tell me how much you need to get a new one. A 32" tv will do. Don't be too greedy ya....
this is my 1st game w/tickets but i might have to miss it, which would suck. if i go i'll provide my first game report of the year (there's always plenty to talk about in the preseason).
I definitely can't wait for Wed. to come. I really, really, really NEED to see my team play. I miss seeing them on tv with a passion. Also I'm going to make some real assessments about everything that goes down on that court. I hope that Amir doesn't get close to being fouled out this game, Alex does better, Arron defensive plays, and Rodney all around dominance of the game.
I recommend that you just pull your laptop up to the treadmill and read the Leecaps as you are running. If you feel you're still missing something, read the Hogcap, too.
Wednesday night is bad for me, I might listen on the radio. The next game, I should be able to get to a bar.
HURRY UP TIME! I wanna see DETROIT BASKETBALL!
No Car either?
No, I still got wheels, but I might not later. I don't get around much. It's a pretty big expense, and a pretty big environmental footprint.
Subway line from Windsor to Sandwich must be pretty cheap.
It's all about the Bike.
Does anyone know if league pass will be showing this game? I need to order it, but will probably procrastinate if they aren't showing pre-season games.
I don't believe it includes pre-season. I am guessing, but I think that's accurate.
They should at least be giving a free period during pre-season to generate sales. Oh well. I guess I'll just have to wait.
You're right. I just called and the guy said that it's too early, and they start offering it in about a week or so
BOOM! Let's go Pistons!

Yes - with plasmoma - and you would be better off seeing an eye doctor with no doubt in my mind.
With my dog she started out with Tacrolimus and a steroid drop, both, for 1 month or so, to get the plasmoma under control. Now, just one drop. I think it's been 7 years now and she's still on the med.
I fostered her sister, who had the same, and the drops were also effective for her, too. We saw an eye vet because her eyes were worse. Had my vet not done what he had done, I would have asked for a referral to the eye vet. It saves money in the long run, and discomfort for the dog.

Plasmoma and pannus
Our 3,5 year old bitch has been diagnosed by a canine eye specialist with olasmoma, or an infiltration of plasma into the third eyelid. She's been misdiagnosed with chronic conjunctivitis since July and I've treated with cortisone and antibiotic drops with marginal success. Doc wants me to stop all meds should she develop into full blown pannus, which at this time she does not have. Does anyone have any information or advice with regard to either of thee two conditions. She's otherwise in excellent health. She is an indoor dog and we do not live in high elevation areas. Breeder has no other occurrences which is irrelevant anyway. Also have a 7 month old male. She is my 3rd shepherd, my previous two lived to be 14 and 13 years. Thank you for any assistance, shared experiences or information.

Shot my second match on Sunday, moved up a slot to 5th place overall, shooting a 95.66. I still came in first place and most accurate in the CDP division (5 shooters in CDP this match), as well as 2nd place for match overall accuracy. :cool:
This was my first time really working from concealment and it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be, I had ideas that it was going to be slower than slow, but I still had good times.
I bought a non-shootmefirst vest, it's a Carhartt and only has TWO outside pockets, it was available in tall sizes to hang a little lower to cover my OWB and mag carrier and I can actually wear it without looking like someone on Safari or a photographer. It may be a little heavy come summer time, but will make a great spring/winter/fall vest.
The stages were definitely interesting with one COF taking place inside a wooden mock up of a HMMWV (Humm-Vee), here were some swingers that gave me some trouble and one stage where we started of in simulated fight for retention where we had to stab the target, go from condition 3 to 1 (simulating gun out of battery) and engage the other targets.
We had someone taking pictures during some of the stages and it's nice to be able to see what you're doing after the fact to find and correct issues, I for one need to work on my grip and close up that gap between my thumbs.
And no, my 1911 did not jam, break, or pour sugar in my gas tank during the match.
I got to try out my new Wilson ETMs and they worked flawlessly as Wilson mags always have for me, the added numbers on the tubes are nice when you have to start a stage with less than a full mag, but when you only have 8 rounds to start with it's not that hard, but always nice to be sure you're starting with the correct amount of ammunition on tap.
To make things even better, one of the other shooters there is lending my his Kimber .22 Conversion kit to try out and I'll probably buy it off him so I can practice more on the plate rack without burning thorough piles of .45ACP.
If you've ever wanted to shoot IDPA, go out and try it, it's a lot of fun. All you need is gun that meets IDPA criteria, 3 mags, holster, mag carrier, and a cover garment and you're good to go. If you want to find a club in your area and view the rule book, you can find them at the IDPA website.

ok my quest is currently lp and the guage comes up at about 200 when it is running or a little bit less, and I get pretty good efficeny with that but should I try lowring my lpr or leave it where it is at for "maximum" performance. and if I wanted to switch to hp should I just use the suggested settings in the manual and tinker from there?

The suggested LPR should be 90-100 psi. 200 is rather high. Normally if you are using LP or HP you set your LPR at 90-100 psi and adjust your HPR to the right velocity of 285-300 fps whichever is field legal. Depending on preference board settings such as Dwell and ABS should also be taken into account. My Dwell is at 12. Some people run them as low as 8 and while others as high at 16. It all depends on do you want smooth but less efficient. Or Efficient but a less smooth shot.

Each marker is different. It's hard to say where your velocity will be at. Your best bet is to lower the LPR to 100 psi and then head to the field and chrono. Shoot a stream of paint and make sure the LPR doesn't spike. It should stay consistent. Once the LPR is set adjust your HPR to the required velocity. If you notice any inconsistencies check you're bolt pin orings.

I tried Rustolem Brand Spruce Green. Compared to the (albeit) still in the bottle, Panzer Olivegrun helmet green I'm stumped. It's almost too similar, even lighter. I brushed a little on in a unnoticable spot.
Looking at ESB pictures, the armor is darker is it not? Am I just seeing things. I got crazy and decided to try the darker of my 3 rattle can greens and it came out a bit too dark (more so than the ROTJ green)
So I'm thinking of eating a bullet, chucking the whole thing or moving back into the field of bonzai tree maintanence so I can relax again.
Someone help cause I am really frustrated.
Thanks in advance,
P.S. At this point I'm forced to ask, what is going to be the best way to get the 3 coats of paint off my armor? I guess I'll be spending some more time sanding won't I?

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by TheeTFD, Feb 1, 2013.
But Tennessee is on the East Bank.
Hollinger though. Daye was kicking it in the advanced stats department. Hollinger's model might be telling him Daye is the next Charlie V.
I wonder what Hollinger would have written in his column about who won this trade.
Well, the trade machine is his creation I think and it had DET +3 wins, MEM + 3 wins, and TOR -2 IIRC.
I'm still waiting on the Austin Daye Appreciation Thread. I don't have the heart to start it.
I kinda like the fact that their isn't an appreciation thread for A-Daye. We've had one for Kelvin Cato, Dave Cowens, Nemo, Tony McDyess, Rascoe, Jake Voskuhl, Vern Hamilton, Darth Tator, Ben Wallace, Ernie Harwell, Woody, a combination LA Dre/Badminton appreciation thread, DeMarcus Cousins, Nemo, Kareem Rush, Wiggles, 'Rico White, Kyle Singler, Avery Johnson, Neil Diamond, Ben Gordon and Tayshaun Prince. Austin Daye doesn't deserve an appreciation thread.
He's still forging his legend.
Tayshaun had two. Maybe Daye could have one of them. By the way, TaS - your name change feels like the end of an era for me even more than the trade itself.
If you think that is depressing, wait until I unveil my new avatar. It's going to be bleak.
I wish I could like this post 10 times..............
Grizz have gone like 2-4 since getting Tay. They finally found a team they could beat in Minn. Tay was high scorer ! with 8 for 8 ! Something tells me if need Tay game in game out to carry the load they'll be lucky to go .500 from here on out.
Strong win over BNets 76-72 Tay 30min and 11pt, 1 Oboard Daye 10min and 5pt. They won't be challenged again until Heat come to town on the 1st. Looks like good coaching and the Tay-Daye thing is working.
Grizz starters got a wash against the Heat as Tay held Bron to 18, but with 10 assist But Tay only got 4. 7 below his avg. Daye, 5 in 10 min. Heat bench did a little better than Grizz'z No excuses Grizz were at home.
Miami is tough, irregardless of the venue. They have won 14 straight games, 1/2 of which were on the road.
Grizz now the 3rd seed as Clips drop from .700 bullies.
Tay's points are down to 8.9 per game and his FG% is down to 42.8%. These are career low numbers for him. His minutes are still 31.2 per game. There are 14 players on the Memphis roster with a PER higher than Tay.
There are many different kinds of glue.
I don't think Tay is this type .........
Beer Tay has faded like all Pistons since CB left. 8.9 from when ? I was only talking about Heat game.

Hi all
I'm building a custom mando and am after a good bucket. I've been outta the game a while and was after advise on what is a decent lid at a decent price.
Peace Crabman
aaahh... that's the question that plagues most of us... I've found that there are many decent buy'ce... but there are NO decent prices! lol Unless, u can do like I am and get another custom builder to assemble one (in their free time) and do it for you at or near cost. The problem with this approach is that they're working on their time, not yours and... that may take a LOOONG time. Fortunately all I have is time so it's not a problem for me. I know that there are some folks over on MandoMercs who make pretty good buckets for around $85-150... depends on what u want to pay for it i guess. There's also a "budget bucket" on here somewhere fairly cheap around $100 and SAZ makes a good one but I think his is a lil more costly. hope that helps!
you can get a jango bucket with a really good form for under 35 USD.
its a really good first helmet, before upgrading to the more expensive versions.
yeah that's true... the Ebay sales are handy for those!
i wasnt talking about ebay as the price fluctuates.
but yeah, those are prolly the ones. i like em better than the 40 USD helmets that go for near a hundred on ebay.
ive got three now.
u're talkin' about the Rubies type right? yeah I hear those are easy to work with... but some are worse than others and it really depends on whether that particular one is a better or worse one. Just what I read here on the forums, no personal experience with 'em tho...
yeah. they are all the same. you do the same mods to each, and they will all look the same when done. not that they all NEED those mods, but its helps in the long run.
However, I would suggest a cheaper version for the moment, like the Jango that has been suggested. Unless of course they have a big noggin, then they will need to look into investing into a 1:1 scale helmet.
Everything in Cosplay is a budget vs quality balancing act.
the 2pc jango however we test fit saturday on a guy who is 6'1" and it fit nicely. it was in proportion. however, if you DO have a big head, youll need one of the MSH's
Hey Crabman, I know your down there in Sidney...and getting anything shipped to you out of country is going to kill you in shipping costs.
The Rubies 1 piece jango as everyone else has stated is probably your cheapest option. If price isn't that big of a concern then you can always grab a Sgt. Fang resin helmet which may be a little more durable and still keep it under $200 after shipping.
You ever get your Boba sold off?
Hey there Saz you still selling that bucket of yours???
Got any pics we can see please?
Hmm, that's odd, I thought I had posted pictures here last night for you...

Arsène Wenger has confirmed that Marouane Chamakh will rejoin the Arsenal squad by the end of the week.
The striker has spent the last three weeks away with Morocco at the Africa Cup of Nations but will return to Emirates Stadium after the Atlas Lions made an early exit from the competition.
Speaking ahead of Morocco's clash against Niger on Tuesday, Wenger told Arsenal Player: "Marouane is playing his last game today, then he should be back in 48 hours.
"He played in the first game, and for the second game he was in hospital because he had a stomach bug, but he should play tonight."

By O'Reilly's Standard, Fox Is A Major Player In The "Industry Of Obama-Bashers"
On his Fox News show, Bill O'Reilly dismissed criticisms of President Obama for filling out an NCAA tournament bracket as "Obama-bashing" and went on to say that there is an "industry of Obama-bashers." Minutes later, Sean Hannity repeatedly attacked Obama over his NCAA bracket, and a procession of Fox hosts and guests have similarly attacked the president.
O'Reilly Says Criticisms Of Obama Over NCAA Bracket Are "Just Obama-Bashing, Pure And Simple"
O'Reilly Dismisses Bracket Criticisms As "Obama-Bashing," Says "There's An Industry Of Obama-Bashers." From the March 21 edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor:
BERNARD GOLDBERG (Fox News contributor): And this hypocrisy on the right, as well. They make a great big deal out of this NCAA brackets business, as if the president can't take 15 minutes out to do that.
O'REILLY: But that's just Obama-bashing, pure and simple.
GOLDBERG: But, conservative -- exactly. That's my point.
O'REILLY: Yeah. That's all that is.
GOLDBERG: If George W. Bush had done the brackets, the talk-show hosts on television and radio would have said, "What's the big deal?"
O'REILLY: But there's an industry of Obama bashers.
GOLDBERG: There is and I'll tell -- we have rigid ideology masquerading as thoughtful, honest commentary, and I'm getting sick of it. [Fox News, The O'Reilly Factor, 3/21/11 [1]]
On Very Next Fox News Program, Hannity Repeatedly Attacked Obama Over Bracket
Hannity On Libya: Obama "Vacillated And Took Varying Positions In Egypt And Seems To Be Doing The Same Here Today, More Concerned About Brackets, Trips To Rio, And Playing Golf." From the March 21 edition of Fox News' Hannity:
HANNITY: I am frightened by this president's inability, Colonel [Oliver North], to make a decision. Now, it took six months to give the troops that were requested by our leaders in Afghanistan. He was dithering -- that was the phrase we used -- and then he still didn't give them the troops they wanted. He didn't support the freedom fighters in Iran in 2009. He vacillated and took varying positions in Egypt and seems to be doing the same here today -- more concerned about brackets, trips to Rio, and playing golf. [Hannity, Fox News, 3/21/11]
Hannity Cites Obama's Appearance "On ESPN Picking His Brackets" As Evidence Obama "Doesn't Seem Engaged." From Hannity:
HANNITY: With our own economy suffering, with food prices the highest they've been since 1974, gas prices now -- we saw the price of a barrel of oil today over $100. You know, he's playing golf. He spent the weekend in Rio. He's on ESPN picking his brackets. He's doing fundraisers. You know, where is this guy? He doesn't seem engaged. [Hannity, Fox News, 3/21/11]
Hannity Again Harps On Obama "Picking Brackets." From Hannity:
DICK MORRIS (Fox News contributor): We are entering a double-dip recession, and he's on vacation in Rio.
HANNITY: In Rio. Or playing golf. Or picking brackets. [Hannity, Fox News, 3/21/11]
Fox Has Hosted Chorus Of Critics Who Attacked Obama Over NCAA Bracket
Fox & Friends: "You Have To Wonder What The President Is Doing, Where He Could Possibly Focus." During the March 16 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends, the co-hosts utilized several segments to criticize Obama for filling out NCAA brackets. During the segment, co-host Brian Kilmeade stated: "You have to wonder what the president is doing, where could he possibly focus." [Fox News' Fox & Friends, 3/16/11 [2]]
Hannity Takes A Break From Japan Coverage To Bash Obama For Golfing, NCAA brackets. During the March 15 edition of his Fox News show, Sean Hannity took a break from coverage on the disaster in Japan to bash President Obama. During the segment, Hannity said: "[O]n Saturday, hours after the quake struck, he went golfing. And later that evening, he attended a dinner with members of the mainstream Obama mania media, and today the president spent his afternoon filling out his NCAA brackets for ESPN. Sadly, none of this is a joke." Later in that segment, Hannity added, "I find his lack of engagement now, beyond troubling to me." [Fox News' Hannity, 3/15/11 [3]]
Fox & Friends Point Out Obama's Work Agenda, Mock Obama For Plugging Aid To Japan During ESPN Appearance. During the March 16 broadcast of Fox News' Fox & Friends, hosts Brian Kilmeade, Steve Doocy and guest host Martha McCalum listed a number of items on President Obama's agenda in recent days. Commenting on an upcoming appearance on ESPN by President Obama in which Obama will present his NCAA bracket, Doocy reported that during the ESPN broadcast, Obama will encourage viewers to visit USAid.gov to help people in Japan. In response, referring to Obama's NCAA brackets from previous years, Doocy asked: "Why'd he do it last year, then?" [Fox News, Fox & Friends, 3/16/11 [2]]
Asman: Obama "Keeping His Eye On The Wrong Ball." On Fox Business' America's Nightly Scoreboard, host David Asman said, "There is a disaster in Japan, civil war in Libya, and a budget mess in D.C., and President Obama has been criticized for staying on the sidelines, going golfing a lot, and now he is being slammed for filling out his NCAA brackets," adding that Obama is "keeping his eye on the wrong ball." [Fox Business, America's Nightly Scoreboard, 3/15/11 [4]]
Huckabee Claims To "Worry" About President Being "So Busy Dealing With The Brackets From The NCAA." From the March 18 edition of Fox Business' The Willis Report:
GERRI WILLIS (host): That's great news on your book. But I have to ask you about this commander-in-chief. He is MIA, right?
MIKE HUCKABEE (host of Fox News' Huckabee): Well, I'm hoping while he's on his trip, he'll take my book and read it because we need a little dose of it. But what I really do worry about is the perception of the American president right now is that he's so busy dealing with the brackets from the NCAA and hosting events at White House and having a bullying conference -- all of which is fine. But I don't know if he knows this, but, you know, we got a real meltdown not only in the nuclear reactors going on in Japan, but we have one going on in the Middle East right now, and a lot of people are being killed by their own government over there.
WILLIS: Libya, Bahrain -- you don't have to look very far to see problems everywhere. Not only does it put the regions in conflict, create huge problems there, but it's also upsetting the economic order.
HUCKABEE: We do have a few little issues as home like gasoline moving up to $3.50 to $4.50 a gallon across the country. That means people aren't going to take vacations. That means tourism is down. There is rippling effect of high fuel prices. Food prices up the highest since 1974. [Fox Business, The Willis Report, 3/18/11 accessed via Nexis]

Just finished the bolt now I need to double check the dimensions of the holes with some gauge pins at work and go over it again then I can make some prints. http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r...ltassembly.jpg
This is AWESOME!
What kind of tolerances should I expect to be within when milling all the parts of the receiver?
There are guys who can center-punch and drill a hole to within .005". The damned drill bits always fail to cooperate with me, though.
The old bench-work method is to only lay out and drill one fastener hole. Use that to bolt the pieces together - you can use superglue to help keep them from slipping - and then lay out, drill, and tap the other holes. Use acetone to dissolve the superglue, then open up the holes on the top part so the screws will go through, countersink or counterbore as needed, done.
The other trick is, if you're trying to get a bunch of bolted-together bits to all line up neatly, is to leave a bit of extra stock on the edges. You can then mill, belt-sand, or spindle sand the stack so everything looks neat. Those reciprocating spindle sanders can do amazing jobs on internal curved surfaces.
Of course, if you're using CNC you don't have to worry about that sort of thing...
Probably an artefact of kpdf or something, but when I printed the drawings the numbers showed up fine, but not the lines on the dimensions.
It just occurred to me that, with a few modifications to your design, you could use sheet steel for the side pieces, a few machined bulkhead pieces, and rivets to hold it all together.
Perhaps I need to change my medication. The Voices are getting strange lately...

Been forever since I posted here... I missed you guys! Anyway, I'm working on the jumpsuit for my ROTJ suit, and I'd like to know how you think it can be improved, as I'm pretty bad at spotting accuracy errors. Thanks!
Been forever since I posted here... I missed you guys! Anyway, I'm working on the jumpsuit for my ROTJ suit, and I'd like to know how you think it can be improved, as I'm pretty bad at spotting accuracy errors. Thanks!
Welcome back
Just a few things I notice. The thigh pouches may need to be a bit lower, and the flaps on them should be angled. One side coming down to the bottom of the entire pouch, the other side remaining at the top with no real 'flap'. This creates a diagonal looking flap, does that make sense?
The arms will need a dual-sleeve look. I can't tell if you've done that or not. A second, outter sleeve, should come down and end just above the elbow.
The shin pouches look fine, perhaps a little big, but I can't tell
Looks like a fine color and well sewn, just a few little details here and there
Take care,
Thanks, JMP. You pointed out a few things I wouldn't have caught. As for the two sleeves, I'm going to get an armor vest that should cover that.
Your vest should not have sleeves that long. All they should have is a bit hanging over the shoulder that the armor attaches to. The double sleeves are almost at elbow length so they would show. The tool pockets also look a little big and as jmp pointed out the leg pockets covers need to angle down. Look at a ref pic to see what we are talking about. One last thing i noticed, i saw you have the zipper in back...hope you don't have to use the bathroom while in costume!
Welcome back!
I'm gonna say the details of what needs to be corrected, please, don't take it as a negative way or personal, just as a learning experience if you want to have a more accurate costume.
The jumpsuit has two sleeves: long sleeves and short sleeves on top of the long ones almost touching the elbows.
The thigh pouches seem to be too close to the leg, which needs to be at least 2" deep from the front of the pouches to the leg, and the flaps have to go OVER the pouches and they have an almost a "triangle" shape, closing and covering most of the pouch for around 1" to 1 1/2" from the bottom. It should have the shape of a "block" popping out, and not just like a pocket sewn in there.
The sheen pockets looks OK, but the right pocket the seam in the middle should be like 1/4 way to the right and not in the center, like a pocket where you put pens and pencils in it, but not that thin.
Look around in the forum and see for yourself, then compare and get ideas from there. You seem to have a good accurate costume once you fix these items.

Well, now that we finally have a true artic blast of cold weather, the Missouri bootheel is "frozen in". Maybe, just maybe, we will finally start seeing some new birds come to town. I will be going out Friday morning before work. I just hope I have to break Ice in order to wade into the slough. Will gladly break up an area for some birds to land in. Will give ya'll a report upon my return.
Oh, and my little 8 year old daughter went out with me last weekend for her first time. She was enamered at the sight of 10,000 snows flying over, all at one time. She is getting a complete mossy oak outfit head to toe for Christmas, and will be going out with me on the 26th. Just hope she gets to see some duck bustin.


text: Fifth 'Lace 'Em Up for Lexi' 5K scholarship race held The fifth annual "Lace 'em up for Lexi" 5K drew more than 100 enthusiastic runners and walkers on June 1, 2013, in Feeding Hills. The event provides a way for the family of Alexandra "Lexi" Annette Jagodowski to give back to the Agawam/Feeding Hills community and to the Griffin's Friends organization for all the help and kindnesses shown during Lexi's illness. The MTA and the West Springfield Education Association were the main sponsors of the event. Lexi was born on September 10, 1996. At the age of seven she was diagnosed with lymphoma. After two years of chemotherapy, her cancer went into remission, but by the age of 11, she suffered a relapse, along with leukemia. She bravely battled her disease for five months and died on September 16, 2008, just a week after her 12th birthday. MTA in the Community Read more about how MTA members are giving back to their communities. Nancy Costa, adjustment counselor and MTA building representative at the John Ashley School in West Springfield, said the day "was hot and beautiful and the runners were very enthusiastic. It was a great day to honor Lexi." The run gave Costa a chance to meet Lexi's mother, who told her that since she can no longer celebrate birthdays with her daughter, the race is what she calls "a Lexi Day, a day to celebrate Lexi." The yearly 5K race allows Lexi's family to offer a college scholarship in her memory to an Agawam High School senior and also supports the Griffin's Friends Children's Cancer Fund at Baystate Health Foundation in Springfield.

ESPN - TrueHoop
Great move by the Suns, in my opinion. The guy knows basketball and seems to have a level head.
Is he simply going to advise the Suns that Rasheed Wallace likes to settle for 3 pointers instead of going down on the block?
I think the Suns have a winner with Steve Kerr as a GM. The guy has 5 championship rings, a Gold Medal (as a college player) and his University of Arizona team made it to the Final Four before losing to Oklahoma. I live in Tucson and he's very well respected here for being such a solid citizen and all around good guy. I sent him an email telling him to trade Boris Diaw for Carlos Delfino and both teams would be better off with that trade. Carlos would fit into the Suns style of basketball and can you imagine him blossoming under a coach with a European style of playing and Steve Nash as your point guard? Diaw would fit our style of play since he's not a run/gun player. So I'll post what Kerr says back to me if I get a response.
I like Steve Kerr, an all around great guy. I see him doing great things to the team next season. The Suns will be in the Finals next year, I guaranteed.
I like that idea.
Me too, Delfino is great at some moment or not but he's not a rounded player with his playing time. This trade might be good for both teams.

KCUR, KCPT Launch Public Media Partnership
Initial focus to be health reporting, public engagement and regional issues
KANSAS CITY, Mo., (April 3, 2014) — Kansas City-based public media organizations KCUR and KCPT have announced a broad, ongoing partnership designed to enhance the public service mission of both outlets.
The partnership is not a merger of organizations, but a pooling of resources and commitment to collaboration. The partnership will initially focus on health and agriculture-related journalism and public engagement, and the two organizations will continue to explore additional opportunities for collaboration.
Leaders of the two organizations said they are adding strength and capacity to their newsgathering operations as part of their public service mission.
"For generations, American journalism has been dominated by the for-profit sector, but dramatic changes in the economics of that industry has led to coverage gaps – gaps that are of increasing concern to the public. In many communities, not just Kansas City, the not-for-profit sector is moving to fill those gaps," said Nico Leone, general manager of KCUR.
Kliff Kuehl, president and CEO of KCPT, added "Both organizations have similar missions focused on public service, and both have similar audiences of people who are active and engaged in the community. There is a need for innovative strategies from public media to expand its mission and content to a greater audience and onto more platforms. KCPT and KCUR have unique assets that are additive, rather than competitive, and therefore work together exceedingly well."
89.3 KCUR, a service of the University of Missouri-Kansas City, is the NPRhttp://www.npr.org/ affiliate for Kansas City and KCPT is the PBShttp://www.pbs.org/ affiliate for Kansas City. Both organizations provide news, arts and public affairs content online and on-air to the greater Kansas City area.
KCPT has been expanding its mission in recent months, greatly enhancing its journalism operation by launching The Hale Center for Journalism, and adding a music-focused radio station, The Bridge, broadcasting at 90.9 FM.
The KCPT-KCUR partnership will initially focus on three main areas:
Harvest Public Media is a reporting collaboration focused on issues of food, fuel and field. Based at KCUR, Harvest covers these agriculture-related topics through an expanding network of reporters and partner stations throughout the Midwest. Other Harvest Public Media partners include KBIA public media in Columbia, Mo.; Iowa Public Radio; NET Nebraska public broadcasting; KUNC public radio in Greeley, Colo.; and WUIS public radio in Springfield, Ill.
The Hale Center for Journalism at KCPT is a multimedia center for journalism that distributes local content through a variety of channels, including public television, public radio, the internet and social media. Its goal is to cover the issues and stories of the Kansas City region in a comprehensive, in-depth and innovative way.

text:
I'd like to burn some very typical straw men. Hopefully, in the debate over Christianity, these unnecessary issues can be avoided.
Creation - Neither Genesis nor any of the scriptures demands that the earth and universe is only 6- to 10- thousand years old. The Hebrew word for "day" (yom) could mean long periods of time. The words "there was morning and there was evening, the first day" could be translated "there was beginning and ending, the first (yom)".
(BTW, the narrative moves to the surface of the earth in Genesis 1:2. While stars were certainly already in existence, their light was not visible on the surface of the earth until the opaque early atmosphere cleared).
Adam and Eve – While scripture does indicate they were specially created, there are gaps in the biblical genealogies that could place Adam and Eve back 60- to 90-thousand years. This would also predict increasing discovery of a common DNA originating between east Africa and the Mesopotamia.
(BTW, the word for "rib" means "side". The story of Eve's creation could mean God created her from Adam for symbolic purposes. I speculate a biopsy, of sorts, from the side, with a few million variations to the DNA producing a female. )
Talking Snakes - A boa constrictor with vocal cords is not in view here. That image comes largely from medieval art. The "serpent" in the garden was intelligent and used for evil. One can only speculate what sort of being it was (perhaps one no longer extant).
The Flood – The fact that a great flood is found in various cultures indicates that it happened. Two questions emerge: which account is most accurate and whether the flood was global or local.
I'm of the opinion that the flood was regional rather than global for several reasons. First, while the flood was universal in effect, it was only regional in extent due to human's not having moved much beyond the Mesopotamia at the time. A global flood was unnecessary.
Secondly, language like "under all the heavens", "all the earth", etc. are most likely from the perspective of the observer, i.e. a flood from horizon to horizon. "Mountains" could be translated "hills" with rain and water "covering" (or running over) them rather than submerging them.
Thirdly, this would mean there were not polar bears and penguins, etc. on the ark, but only animals indigenous to the region and of special relation to man.
Fourthly, a global flood would have torn the ark to pieces, no matter how well built. And it certainly would not have landed anywhere near its original location.
Fifthly, the scripture itself said a "large wind" was used in the evaporation process. Such a wind would have virtually no effect in a global flood.
Finally, if the flood were only regional why not just have Noah, his family, and whatever animals needed, hike out of the area and be safe? Why a big specifically-built ark? I think because God often operates via symbols teaching important truths or significance, i.e. salvation in Christ or deliverance through troubled waters (trials).
Use of Metaphor – The scriptures use metaphor and other literary devices. One need only utilize common exegetical analysis and context to determine what any author meant as literal or metaphorical (and on a case-by-case basis).
Inerrancy – If there are consequential or factual errors in the Bible that does not mean Christianity is false. However, I find it remarkable how well the Bible holds up to scrutiny and that there are plausible answers to discrepancies. Personally, I hold to the Chicago Statement on Inerrancy.
Hell – is not a place of torture (external) but of torment (internal). There are many descriptions of hell in the scriptures. The "fire" is most likely not the chemical combustion we're familiar with. It, combined with all the other descriptions, reduces to separation from God and the judgment of God.
This does not make hell more tolerable (that's not possible). But it does dispel hillbilly theology that has poor souls swatting flames for eternity! Christ depicted conversation taking place "in the flames". No person could have a conversation while on fire! On our familiar planet, one is in mindless torture if burning.
It is, however, a profound tragedy to be eternally separated from God. It is a "spiritual chaos" one enters when the intact "self" survives the physical body. There are indications that some kind of body could exist in hell.
Heaven – is a remarkably physical place. It is not ethereal or immaterial. It is a combination of a "new heaven and new earth". We will live on earth in physical bodies that are "spiritual" which nonetheless have access to one another and continued exploration of the universe without many of the limits of current bodies affected by entropy, etc. Christ's resurrected body could be touched and he ate food, etc. This describes the redeemed, resurrected body.
This is not to be confused with an intermediary state which is not physical. At death, one goes either into the very presence of God to await the resurrection of the body, or in a state of chaos to await final judgment.
"God will not allow anything to happen in your life that you can't handle" – False! Scripturally, there are plenty of things that happen that one cannot handle! Devastating things! The accurate teaching is that nothing will happen that God's grace will not get one through.
"You must become like children" - Christ said to "humble yourself like a little child". It does not mean to be naïve, ignorant, gullible, or irrational.
Pascal's Wager – This is not an argument for God nor necessarily addressed to atheists. Pascal used a popular gambling motif to shake the French laity out of spiritual complacency and to at least move them in the direction of God.
Further, the Wager, as it is commonly used, is not allowed by Paul in 1 Corinthians 15. He said if Christ was not risen, then the jig is up! Christianity is false! He did not say believe it anyway "just in case" or because it provides a positive way of life.
I hope these internal considerations provide food for thought.

@JohnM - and that's why I stay entirely outside some of these arguments discussions!
meh, looking back through the thread, it looks like John Kelly came to argue in a sort of pompously frufru manner lol
Hey, watch it - that's his 'style'. While unnecessarily pompous, we don't make fun of his fru fru tendencies around here.
:shaking my head: :)
Do you mean like this?
hmmm, nah. Not quite the gesture I was using.
Billy, you can be as judgmental as you like, but people in threads sometimes have history with the people they interact with.
If you went through all the threads with the two people I have had little patience with, you will find I have been like that because they have been terribly unkind to many people on this forum. At a certain point, there is no reason to put up with it.
Let's see here. Ahem, John, I was just calling it how I see it. You do come off as someone simply looking for a good spat with anyone willing. Perhaps a new approach would be better for a good debate?
I must go and warm some fresh Chai Tea, and maybe a cookie or two. I shall return momentarily good sir.
Billy, people are more complicated than you can call or see, and things are not what they seem far too often. Assuming things is the wrong thing to do.
My wife defriended Heather because she trolled threads on my wife's Facebook wall after a petty argument. But even then, if you notice, until she started making it personal on this thread, considering our history, if you look on page 1 and 2, I was very respectful and reasonable with her. Reason and respect didn't work, so I changed my tone. You have to stop being nice to unkind people at some point.
People like to come of as more sophisticated and well versed than they are FAR more often. The internet is chock-full of idiots and posers John. I do not assume that you're clever based on words in a spitball fight between you and another member. So I'll counter your "Assuming is the wrong thing to do" with a "Assuming is the wrong thing to do" of my own :)
With the internet, and a little google search just about anyone can play any character from Einstein to Stephen Hawking... Most just aren't interested in doing so.
I'm hitting the hay for the night. Have a good one
@Billy - I doubt that anyone would accuse you of being a "poser"!
FYI. John is easily as intelligent as he appears, and far more educated than he admits - people who, "hit the hay," just might be out of their league in continuing this train of thought, but best of luck with that.
Thanks Archaeopteryx, with that I am going to duck out of this because he seems to want to turn this into a debate.

4 days til halloween and the rangefinder breaks off. Any ideas?
4 days til halloween and the rangefinder breaks off. Any ideas?
Glue it back on! Use some goop!
hehehe... ive gooped it but it doesnt seem to be holding very well. I feel like some kinda drama queen the past few days. Everytime something screws up, I'm asking you guys. I guess its just the pre-halloween jitters.
Mindphunk, go git yourself some 5 minute epoxy...Or better yet some of that "Fast Steel" epoxy that is premixed, you just knead a piece and slap it on. Wait a half hour, then sand it, paint it, viola!
If it didn't break off right at the ear piece, you could try a piece of square brass tubing to cover the whole thing top to bottom with the broken point some were in the middle. The square brass tube would be stronger than the plastic and if you paint it up it probably wont be that noticeable.
Good luck,
great idea!!!now i wont have to try drilling a hole though my DP rangefinder when i route my wiring for the LEDS.

Suzanne Pasztor, a 2006 International Studies graduate of the University of St. Thomas, is embarking on an adventure with the Peace Corps where she will work to reduce widespread poverty in Ghana, Africa by helping local entrepreneurs improve their business practices.
Pasztor, 62, has been assigned as a small enterprise development business advisor. She said she enjoyed being a nontraditional student at UST and her degree has and will continue to assist her in this endeavor.
"I loved every minute I spent at St. Thomas," Pasztor said. "The International Studies degree and the cultural training I received will enhance my work with the Peace Corps. I had the best time of my life here; everyone accepted me and it was wonderful."
Dr. Hans Stockton, director for the Center for International Studies, taught Suzanne in several courses.
"Suzanne already had a great deal of experience, keen intellect, and powers of observation by the time she came to UST," Stockton said. "This made her a real joy to have in the classroom and as part of the CIS family."
Joining the Peace Corps is not the first adventure Pasztor has undertaken in her life. She lived in Europe for several years, moved with her husband to Mexico and Venezuela to study Spanish, worked at Yellowstone National Park for a season and lived and worked for a while in Alaska.
"I've known about the Peace Corps since it was created in 1961, but I first wanted to join after meeting a recruiter at a job fair in 2006," said Pasztor. "I went home and told my husband, 'Let's join the Peace Corps!' but he said, 'No way, we're not going to do that.'"
After the unexpected death of her husband in 2008, Pasztor met another recruiter and decided to apply. After two years of an intense application process, medical screenings and the loss of her initial nomination, Pasztor received the assignment to go to Ghana.
Pasztor reports on Oct. 4 to meet her team and leaves for Kukurantumi, Ghana on Oct. 6 where she will have 10 weeks of pre-service training. She won't know her exact location or assignment until she arrives for training. During her 10 weeks of training, Pasztor will live with a Ghanaian host family and is required to learn Twi, the most widely spoken of the 40 languages native to Ghana.
"Twi is nothing like any of the Romance languages I've studied before," Pasztor said. "It's a tonal language – the tone can change the meaning of a word. Ghana is a former British colony so the language of government and commerce is English, but we are expected to learn the language of our location and I'll have to pass a language skills test after training."
Pasztor said she will miss her two children and two grandchildren, but she plans to make a home visit after nine months in Ghana.
For more information about International Studies at UST, contact the department chair, Dr. Hans Stockton, at firstname.lastname@example.com.

'Tremblay said the cause of the dispute is that MSG — which produces broadcasts of most Sabres games — is trying to charge Time Warner an unreasonably high price for delivering the broadcasts to its customers. "We want to negotiate fair prices for our customers. We want the cost of cable to reasonable," Tremblay said. "We're waiting for MSG to come back to the negotiating table." MSG officials insist that they are offering a fair price. They said Time Warner has been paying the same price for the broadcasts since 2005. "All we have asked is for Time Warner Cable to value our programming in the same way as other TV providers—nothing more, nothing less," said Michael Bair, MSG Media president.'

Hello all,
I want to buy a set of ROTJ gauntlets.
I like the ones from Bobamaker, but they're not hinged but connected with velcro.
Does anyone of you have some experience with this?

Hello all,
I want to buy a set of ROTJ gauntlets.
I like the ones from Bobamaker, but they're not hinged but connected with velcro.
Does anyone of you have some experience with this?
My Fettpride gaunts were not hinged either, but I modified them for hinges - I think it's way better to have the hinges IMHO. Takes some work - I think there's a tutorial somewhere...
Hinges are innaccurate
that's why the top makers do not include hinges.
And if they are not hinged, is it sturdy enough to wear?
I mean: the 2 halves wil not come apart?
Sorry, but I would do everything I could to avoid the hinge look if you're doing Boba.
if you have MOW gauntlets, that have resin bottoms that are rigid, and the edges of the top and bottom halves line up, then velcro is out of the question...:thumbsup you have to have an overlap of the 2 halves to use velcro...if you have plastic or abs bottoms, then velcro would work, since you could get the overlap with the two halves...but have you tried to undo gauntlets that are velcroed? try it...:facepalm just my 2 cents...
completely agree with the accuracy of the velcro, and if that is your goal, then velcro is the way to do it...:)
you know, a lot of people have used magnents on hinged gauntlets to hold that side together....why not use them on both sides? Would that be unstable and prone to opening and falling off?
Good to know the hinges are inaccurate. I was wondering about this looking around.
I am not at all bashing accuracy as it is cool to come as close to screen looks as possible, but for functionality I would have to say hinges are best.they provide less strain on the shells,and are easier to take off and put on.And you gotta remember that the screen used items were only worn during the scenes.after the movie they get put away.for people that troop or just wear their suits a lot you need things that are a little more practical.with a lot of velcro you are constantly fixing the velcro that lifts and like fettdad said it can be a pain to deal with.Kind of sucks to have to have assistance just to put your gaunts on,and to take them off.lol
I use just enough velcro on one side to hold them shut.that is really all you need.
I know this board is all about accuracy and being a professional costumer I fully understand, but for tons of wear and long lasting props, you got to relax just a bit on accuracy and focus on functionality.If gaunts like this were real for instance ,ad they held real firepower, I am gonna guess that they would not be held together by velcro alone.lol
I agree with wickedbeard, I understand people wanna be accurate but if you only have velcro and something happens while ur trooping and it comes unstuck it means ur gauntlet is going to hit the floor something you dont want to happen, I would go with the hinge on one side hidden of course and magnets on the other side, this is how im going to do my gauntlets just waiting on the magnets coming from the states. But go with what you think is best for you not what is best for everyone else as people differ.
I have Boba maker guantlets and have cut off the velcro tabs on one side and added a piano hinge as I didnt like the way they felt to me velcro'd together, was worried about them comming apart.
Hinge one side earth magnets the other for me be it accurate ot not thats how I wanted mine, its all down to personal preference I suppose
I understand the issue of the issue of being functional, but I personally cringe every time I see hinges, and I'm not nearly as anal as some.
i love seeing boba, bottomline...;)
after having to repaint my accurate gauntlets every 3rd or 4th troop, i went with hinges too.
Wouldnt un-hinged be more secure??? With the clam shell method, (glued secure on one side, velcro on the other,) mine cant come off my arm even with the velcro undone!!! I would think a hinged set could open all the way up and fall off your arm???
I use 2 hinges, on on each side. One hinge has a fixed pin, the other has a removable pin. When I put the gauntlet on, I slide a roughly 8" long pin back down into the hinge. That is NEVER coming out by accident ;)
My biggest complaint about the velcro method was that over time the paint would crack / peel due to flexing. In a busy time, I was trooping as Boba 3-4 times a month, every month. So, as a result, the paint would wear down fast.
The hinges aren't accurate, but the visual distinction is lost on all but the most hardcore people, and it makes for a more practical trooping suit.
Ahhh...I didnt realize that guys were doing hinges on each side. Yeah, after while the paint does tend to crack on em a bit from the flexing.
If you like the "I just ripped my gauntlets in half getting them off" look. Go with velcro.
As you can imagine. Hinges for me. Im a big fan of MOW hard bottom halves also.
Gonna try the magnet method for my next set.
1/2" diameter, 1/8" thick, diametrically magnetized and epoxy coated (which helps glues stick to them). I'm using them to keep the back seam in my shins closed. So far, so good! I'm using 8 in each shin... 4 pairs, sticking to each other.
Is it possible to glue hinges, but have the cylindrical part on the inside?
This way it doesn't show outward but you still have the functionality of a hinge. I though I read that someone here did that. (a long time ago)
Anyway, the open side could be rigged to close with magnets.
Any thoughts?
It's possable if you mod your gaunts, or when scratch building, make them custom. Fettdad, maybe he meant use the hinges in the same direction as normal, but move them inside a little bit. Not backwards henges. That's what I visioned anyway. I'm going to scratch build my gaunts using Alan's (WOF) temps as a basis. This is what I will be attempting. Will post pics and what not when that time arrives.

Spectators react to West Michigan Healing Field
If West Michigan communities could take away one sentiment from this weekend's healing field, it would be that 10 years later, the nation is still united by the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
As the monumental anniversary approached, the question "How has America changed since 9/11?" has been posed by many.
While airport security is an obvious response, for Grand Rapids man Jay Spencer, the answer lies "in our hearts."
"Just the pain and the raw emotion attached to the day, it never fades," he said, as his eyes welled up with tears and his voice shook.
Standing among 3,200 flags, blowing in the wind and gesturing around him Spencer continued, "What this represents, the names, the stories, all the people here today that are deeply affected — 9/11 reminded us we are all Americans. … I always thought I was patriotic, but (the attacks) made me comprehend what that (patriotism) means. My patriotic views were enhanced and enlightened."
Spencer was not alone.
Bonita Guernsey of Sheridan said she ventured to the Cannonsburg Ski Area memorial because "being an American is sharing in everyone's lives and what they have to go through.
"It's about feeling each other's tragedy and lifting each other up," she said.
Guernsey also had tears streaming down her cheeks as she read the biographies of 9/11's fallen heroes.
Ceremonies bring tears
Emotions were high throughout the weekend, according to organizers. However, Sunday's events brought the greatest number of people and tears.
Many families even ventured to Cannon Township, from New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and other communities where they were directly impacted by the attacks.
Rockford Mayor Steve Jazwiec told how he had the privilege of walking with a couple from New Jersey who traveled to West Michigan to sponsor their loved one's flag. Craig Silverstein, 41, died in the terrorist attacks; he adored his wife and two children, 4 and 5 at the time.
"We found his flag and tied a yellow ribbon around it," Jazwiec said during a tribute hosted by the Rockford American Legion Sunday. "I hope you all can experience a victim's story or a memory as I was able to yesterday."
History lesson for youth
Many in attendance were experiencing the tragedy of 9/11 for the first time. The 20-and-younger crowd wandered the rows of flags, paying particular attention to the ages of the victims.
Heldon Palmer of Rockford said his seven-year-old daughter was told the flags were there because 10 years ago, a lot of people died. But the gravity of the day was difficult for her to grasp, he said.
"She's running around looking for people that are close to our ages," he added.
Nine-year-old Richard Gendrey thought the healing field was "a cool thing to do" for all of the victims.
He said the biographies on the flags marked with blue and red ribbons, for police and firefighters, respectively, were his favorites. He added he might like to become a policeman or fireman someday.
Gendrey's aunt, Tammy Baughn of Cedar Springs, believes the biographies made it easier for children to understand the magnitude of what happened on 9/11.
"It makes it more personal," she said.
Josh Weiland, 18, Emily Mcafee, 19, and Kaela Bouwkamp, 19, all students at Aquinas College in Grand Rapids, explained they were in the fourth grade when 9/11 occurred and didn't fully comprehend the attacks themselves until high school.
"When (the terrorist attacks) started showing up in our textbooks, I think that's when I finally really grasped that I had lived through that," Bouwkamp said, adding she knew something traumatic had happened and that people had died but the number was difficult for her to understand. "Reading the stories really makes the tragedy come alive. This makes it more real."
She said when she saw the images of the Twin Towers at nine years old, she more or less thought she was witnessing a typical building fire. Bouwkamp recalls also hearing about a plane crashing into a field, but said she did not realize until years later Flight 93's connection to 9/11 or that the passengers chose to fight back against the terrorists.
"I feel like the towers were more of the focus and were always in the media," she said.
Weiland added he and his friends had never heard of the Pentagon in the fourth grade.
"We knew it was a shape and that was it," he said. "It took until middle school or high school for me to understand the acts were deliberate."
The college students agreed the field was more overwhelming than they anticipated it would be.
Never fear
Liz Ferguson of Rockford taught her young daughter, Grace, various lessons while walking through the flags Sunday.
"We've tried to tell Grace that the men who did this had evil in their hearts and that men like them continue to need our prayers," she said. "But the biggest thing we've tried to teach her is not to be afraid. … Because if we live in fear, then who really wins?"
The West Michigan Healing Field will remain open to the public until 3 p.m. Tuesday.

Why didn't news of Petraeus's affair leak before the election?
posted at 1:41 pm on November 12, 2012 by Allahpundit
Michael Tomasky wonders, specifically vis-a-vis Eric Cantor's silence. Didn't the GOP have an electoral incentive in exposing a scandal involving Obama's DCIA?
Answer: No, not really. For three reasons.
1. Obama's DCIA wasn't just any government apparatchik. It was David Petraeus, hero of the surge and the most admired military leader of his generation. Airing his dirty laundry for dubious political advantage would have seemed tawdry and carried a significant risk of backfiring.
2. Was there any political advantage to be had by leaking it? Remember, Republicans from Mitt Romney on down were convinced that he was going to win. They were already grumbling that the hurricane might have slowed his momentum by distracting from his message in the final week. It would have made no sense in that context to throw another all-consuming distraction into the media mix, especially when there's no strong argument that the Petraeus business would have moved any votes from D to R.
3. Tomasky being Tomasky, he finds it hard to believe that Cantor and his confidants might have put national security concerns over electoral ones. I find it less hard to believe. What if the affair leaked before Petraeus was ready to reveal it, hypothetically while the CIA was planning an operation targeting Zawahiri, and the scandal headlines threw that operation out of whack? There are way too many sensitive unknowns when it comes to wading into CIA/FBI business. It's like bursting into a pitch-black room full of delicate china and stumbling about.

Short Sale Restriction On Volatility Fund UVXY
It's been a tough session for traders who are betting directionally on more stock-market volatility.
The latest sign: ProShares Ultra VIX Short-Term Futures ETF (UVXY). is down by nearly 11% on the session. A few minutes after the Fed's latest statement, NYSE Arca enacted a short-sale restriction on this leveraged volatility trading fund.
UVXY, barely known to most investors, has quickly become one of the most heavily traded ETFs in the entire market.
