what armor vest pattern did you use?....( what was the pattern ## please)....and how do i modify it for a larger guy ??.....size 54 chest?
Shot you a PM about some armor that may work out nicely for you...
need the soft cheerleader vest thing........what pattern do i use, and how do i "upsize " it?
-i just bought armor from bradley, thanks anyway.....8)
sorry - I should read more carefully... :o
I have the pattern at home, I'll try and remember to check the number of the pattern.
When I upsized mine (only had to go from a 42" to a 44") was add an inch on the seam on side under my arm and an inch on the body in the front directly below your chin down to your belly button. There is no seam here per se, you use the patern piece and put them back to back as if there would be a seam but cut it from 1 piece of materal. Also added 1 inch to each side of the back. This ended up being more then the 2 inches I needed but because I did the vest double thick and most of them were on seams it ends up with the vest just barely fitting. I will be redoing this now that I have a little more experience sewing.
no one else here made a vest??......i find it hare to believe that no one knows the pattern ## ........please share.
Sorry I didn't get back right away with the pattern. Its Simplicity 9806. I checked tonight when I was at Wal-Mart and the one here still has them.
Good luck.
thanks so much!!
gonna run right out and get that !!
( grabs keys and runs out the door)
......what material should i use??...
someone said satin , inside out?
How good are you at sewing? Have you ever "enlarged" a pattern? Are you sure of your measurements?
I'd suggest going with a cheap material and get the feel for it. Then you can try again with inside out satin.
I made mine out of cotton twill, it was a bit thick. When I remake it i'll use satin inside out, but for now Fett is on hold while I make my imperial royal guard.
i am not very good at sewing, but a friend just got a killer machine, and i guess i can figure it out??..
Depending on the price of the satin, if you can find a good ammount for cheaper then basically the cheapest other material buy the satin to experiment with. Who knows maybe the first try will be all you need.
I usually look for the "cheap ass" material that is near the end of the bolt. I try and match weight of fabric and contents (100% cotton or 50/50) of the final material i want to use. Get enough of the cheap ass stuff and work it out on that. Once I know what I'm doing I use the more expensive real stuff.
Last night when I was in wal-mart the woman in line at the cutting counter in front of me had a bolt of grey satin that was 1.50 a yard I was about wetting my pants looking at it, I couldn't wait to ask the attendant to cut me 7-10 yards of the stuff when the woman ahead of me asked for "the rest of the bolt". Sadly that was all they had.
Hope it turns out well for you.
well, with alot of time and effort , i did it!!.....i made my own vest!!......i used teh t-shirt method and it turned out fabulous!!.....i can post pix if ya wanna see it....
Post those pics. I am a bigger guy about 6'2" about 230lbs, and would like to see what this method looks like.
opinions?.....comments??......bobafettish , dont it look better than at midohiocon?......i will also be re-painting all the armor and the current helmet will recieve massive mods......( i'll use this one untill i get my msh2).....new jumpsuit in the works as well....i have also gotten a fab. new cod and movie accurate knees....its lookin 100% better..
Looking good rk. Keep us posted.

Elsewhere 1biggun mentioned his idea for a wildcat on a blown-out 7.62x25 case. I suggested using a .223 case:
There's a thread on Accurate Reloading about a ".357 Maximum Rimless." Actually, there are several if you use their search function; sometimes it's called ".35 Maximum" though.
357 Maximum Rimless with a pic - Topic Powered by Social Strata
I snagged a picture from the thread.
The .223's nominal diameter is only .003" less than the .357 at the base; once-fired brass would be within the usual SAAMI diametral tolerance.
Now, the standard 7.62 AK bolt face will accept a rimmed .357 Maximum perfectly, but you'd have to make up a magazine from scratch, or slice'n'dice a Desert Eagle or Coonan .357 Magnum magazine. The Rimless would need a .223 bolt, but it should feed from a 5.56 or 5.56 mag. Being a straight case, the cartridges should just slide as necessary to line up in the curved magazine.
Numrich has .357 Magnum rifle barrels for $19.95, or did last year anyway.
I don't know if there's a standard straight machine-tool reamer available in the right size, but you can rent reamers. Theoretically you could use a .38 or .357 Magnum reamer, but you'd have to find one that didn't also cut the counterbore for the rim.

Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987)
415 mistakes
Directed by: Sidney J. Furie
Starring: Christopher Reeve, Gene Hackman, Jackie Cooper, Marc McClure, Margot Kidder
Vote on more movies at The Big Fat List
Continuity mistake: During the Great Wall of China scene, the sky changes from cloudy and grey in the shots involving people, to bright and sunny when the wall explodes.
Factual error: If the Russian cosmonauts need special suits to survive out to space, so should Lacey when she is taken by Nuclear Man.
Plot hole: Superman traps the supervillain (whose power depends on sunlight) inside of an elevator to incapacitate him. Superman then ripped the elevator out of the building. He then plants it on the far side of the moon. Later on, sunlight starts to shine into the elevator through a slit at where the doors meet. The villain of course recharges and comes after Superman again. Now, if light could get through that crack there, then why couldn't it get through when the elevator was ripped out of the building in BROAD DAYLIGHT?
Continuity mistake: Mr. Warfield asks the little boy to repeat "I wish Superman had said yes" and places his hand on the kid's shoulder. The shot changes inmediately to a close-up and the arm and hand are gone.
Revealing mistake: When Nuclear Man hits Superman by the Statue of Liberty's grounds, Superman reacts to the kick before actually being hit.
Visible crew/equipment: After Superman is seen aged holding the green glass, Nuclear Man is seen ascending and wires are visible.
Continuity mistake: Nuclear Man dents the floor with his footsteps, but in a wider angle the floor is intact.
Continuity mistake: In the gym, the amount of sport bags on the back differs between shots.
Continuity mistake: After Superman lets go of the elevator on the surface of the moon, the cables fall down with the elevator, but in the close-up the cables are up and fall down again.
Continuity mistake: In the quarry, the cop on the right's hat has two strings around the top, the upper one dissapears depending on the shot.
Continuity mistake: After the two police cars are sent backwards, a third one that was parked behind, suddenly appears aligned with the other two.
Continuity mistake: After Superman straightens the US flag, a brief shot shows he is on a plain ground, but when he is knocked down by Nuclear Man, a big mount appears in front of him.
Continuity mistake: When Lois is in the subway carriage crying for help, she places her right hand on the rail above. A frame later the hand is by her waist.
Continuity mistake: The shape and size of the volcano is totally different between the moment when Nuclear Man enters it, to when it erupts.
Continuity mistake: The debris on the bottom of the Statue of Liberty's base appears and disappears between shots.
Revealing mistake: When Superman saves the people that Nuclear Man throws up into the air, as they lower you can see the support wires holding them up.
Continuity mistake: When Superman leaves Luthor in the quarry, he lands several feet to the right of the cop. In the close-up they are almost close to each other.
Continuity mistake: Two firemen are seen away from their truck, but when the angle changes six firemen have appeared seemingly from nowhere.
Revealing mistake: When Nuclear Man blows up the fire hydrant one can easily notice it's made of foam.
Visible crew/equipment: When Superman and the super villain are fighting on the moon, when Superman flies in and lands at the beginning of the fight, you can see the cables that are suspending him.

I would like to trade a two day Cast and Blast on the Middle Gulf Coast of TX for a 2 day Duck/Goose hunt for 2 people preferably in the Omaha area.
Why Nebraska? Not sure if it is what I am after but it is a Destination for which US Airways travels. I will lose tickets that I bought last year to go to Cabo San Lucas. The trip was canceled due to a Hurricane and I have not rescheduled the trip.
For my end, I will provide a Duck boat, and a Bay Boat and put you on Redfish and Trout as well as some great Duck Hunting. We can discuss accomodations once we connect. I am not a Guide and do not expect a guide trade, unless you are willing?
If anyone is interested, please P.M. me and we can talk.

|QuickTime Video (12.5 MB)
When it descends through the Martian sky, the Mars Science Laboratory rover will "hang six," riding the Martian wind. The descent stage will lower the rover to the ground using a "Bridle Umbilical Device."
Engineers on the "BUD team" have ridden those winds in their imagination, testing the landing system over and over here on Earth. They built a platform weighing what the rover weighs -- nearly 800 pounds. They dropped it on three cables strong enough to hold the weight yet provide a soft ride. Sometimes, they dropped it on imitation boulders or at an angle. As the cables flew from a golden spool, a braking system slowed them down.
A separate cable shaped like a curly phone cord carried signals back and forth. On Mars, when those signals tell the spacecraft to let go, the rover's six wheels won't be hanging any more. They'll be on the ground, ready to roll.

Application chaos at Jessie Ripoll Primary
Parents swarm school to secure places for their children
BY PETRE WILLIAMS-RAYNOR Career & Education editor firstname.lastname@example.com
THERE was pandemonium at Jessie Ripoll Primary School in Kingston yesterday as hundreds of parents sought to secure places for their children at the institution, which has in recent years boasted impressive Grade Six Achievement Test results while excelling in other areas.
"This is ridiculous," was a sentiment echoed by several parents lined up or otherwise bundled outside the school's gates, waiting for hours to be issued an application form while unsure whether they would get one.
Some of them had been there from as early as 5:00 am. Others, the Observer was told, from 11:00 pm Wednesday night.
"When mi come, mi hear seh paper (application forms) done give out already because paper give out from last night (Wednesday night)," said one obviously frustrated parent, who gave her name only as Shernette.
"When you have this (large crowd with the gates locked), you have people in limbo. This don't mek any sense," added the mother, who is trying to get her child, now in a prep school, into grade three at Jessie Ripoll.
A father echoed her sentiments.
"When I came here, I thought it was the embassy... This is total madness — a crowd is at the gate and there's a line toward the end," he told the Observer minutes to 7:00 am. "It could have been done better; it was not well-organised. And you don't have much people to help man the situation. If two people decide to rush the gate, it was not set up for that."
No sooner than the words were out of his mouth, a group of parents began to brace against the gate, threatening to run over the security guard posted there. A team of police officers had to be called to the scene to help monitor the situation.
"The lines are long, but if the parents would (co-operate) or if there was a number system, there would be (progress). I see this as ludicrous, foolish," complained another mother.
"Some a dem parents yah a real waste a time. But everybody want good fi dem child still," said another. "Dem (school administration) nuh organise dem thing, still, which is why yuh wi always have this Vice-principal Marcia Detry Fogah admonished parents for their behaviour, but assurred them that all would receive application forms.
"Already my teachers don't want you here because you don't have any behaviour, some of you," she said from inside the gates, via the public address system, to which one parent quipped: "Wi nuh want yuh either."
"Even if you are the thousandth person in the line this morning, you will get a form," the vice-principal continued.
Detry Fogah admitted later that the application process was not handled well, but promised improvements for next year.
In all, she said the school received about 400 applications, but said only about 200 children would be admitted. She said there were many who had already eliminated themselves.
"Right now I have forms before me who people have killed their chance already. The parent's name is not there. The contact number is not there... We won't even get into the (issue of proximity)," she said.

The world's largest ocean carrier has piloted a program in four countries to offer loan capital to shippers and has recently expanded that facility to importers and exporters to the United States.
President Donald Trump said the proposal would modernize air traffic control technology and lead to a more efficient aviation system, but opponents fear the proposal could hand over government assets and more power to the airline industry.
Mexico's Federal Economic Competition Commission, the country's primary antitrust agency, has levied fines against seven ocean shipping companies totaling $32 million for colluding on prices of routes in the auto transport services market.

I have been roaming the message boards and have noticed in the 21st Century Beetle forum that many people are having a lot of the same issues as those who have ordered GLI's. (looong delays on ordered cars, no communication from dealers, conflicting info, etc.) Both are built in Puebla.
Do you think there is something serious going on at the Puebla plant causing these delays? It is putting a bad taste in a LOT of peoples mouths and is resulting in them deciding on other models over the ones they originally chose out of frustration and anger. Does VWoA not care as long as the customer still buys something? I can only assume that it can do nothing but hurt not only the GLI and Beetle brands but the VW brand as a whole. I know i'm considering canceling my GLI order for a GTI or even something outside of VW altogether.
What do you think?

These worms have no mouths, no stomachs, and no intestines, yet they clearly thrive, some species growing up to eight feet in length.
They need no eating apparatus because their bodies house billions of bacteria that feed them.
The tubeworms' tissues are lined with bacteria that convert hydrogen sulfide from the hydrothermal vents into molecules that serve as usable nutrients for the worms.
The worm's gills look like a red plume sticking out from its protective tube. Its blood contains a special type of hemoglobin that transports sulfides, oxygen, and carbon dioxide into its tissues, where the bacteria turn them into food for themselves and their host. In return, the worms provide the bacteria with a protected and stable home.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
When I see the title, "New York Times and Science Magazine debunk biofuels", my first thought is, "Who is debunking the debunkers?" Why are we so dependent on a single fuel, petroleum, right now? Why should we assume that a single replacement needs to be found? The only answer I can think of that makes sense for those last two questions is mass marketers.
It seems pretty obvious to most people that we're not going to replace all our current petroleum needs with moonshine or leftover chicken grease from KFC. What is there to "debunk"? How about debunking the notion that we must continue being single-fuel dependent until we are rescued from that dependence by some MegaCorp?
Individuals and small businesses are already providing alternatives. They just don't show up much on tv. You don't get much advertising for building a Harley that smells like french fries or an electric commuter that outlives several commuters.
The major car manufacturers will produce vehicles that people demand of them. They will also resist changes to their current market as long as possible. Instead of pointing out that 'consumers' waste 65% to 80% of every gallon of gasoline, mass producers point out that an electric commuter is not practical for long trips and that you can't fill up with biodiesel on every street corner. They will also point out that current electrical production (no pun intended) also uses petroleum and produces pollution, without noting the reductions of each compared to vehicles using internal combustion engines.
This marketing delays the time when capital-intensive retooling has to take place. The benefits of mass production are therefore denied to alternatives to the existing vehicle production. The alternatives have to come as aftermarket adaptations to be economically viable. Remember that the huge performance parts market of today grew from individuals working things out on their own hotrods.
The history of hotrodders is one of pushing the envelope. The bounds of that envelope today include the cost of fuel and what gets wasted. There are diesel dragsters and electric dragsters. (The first diesel dragster to get into the 7's runs on biodiesel).
I don't expect 'salvation' from mass marketers. I expect them to lag 10 - 40 years behind as they've always done. I also expect them to fight each change that might have an impact on any given quarter's profit margin and to wage that fight both by honest means and by 'stealthy' ones.
|sounds kinda like I'm out numbered here....I guess in a way, it's the nmuber 1 guy, or owner, who's responsilble for what kind of research and or engineering that gets done, but then he's limited to what ever , by customer demand ???? Help me out here , guys........
When was the last time you ever heard an engineer for a large corporation say that he or she was given a free hand?
They don't get to apply their knowledge and skills (and the corporate budget) in solving whatever problem fascinates them. They get paid to make 'it' work within the constraints given by management, marketing, legal, accounting and other segments of the business that employs them. The larger the corporation, the more constrained the engineer. Tucker wouldn't have gotten 1 of his ideas onto a GM, Ford or Chrysler assembly line at the time.
The larger the company, the more risk averse they are. This is why individuals and start-ups make most of the leaps (and goofs). Sometimes it's an engineer, possibly frustrated with the pace. The Dymaxion car used a Ford engine but outstripped the Fords of the time in speed, gas mileage, maneuvering and passenger capacity. Sometimes, it's someone surprising, like an actress, who makes a leap in technology.
Given the boundaries imposed on engineers by corporations legally obliged to shareholders, it's not really reasonable to expect great leaps in biofuel usage from them. It is reasonable to expect them to take any such leap and squeeze it for every fractional increase in efficiency and to precisely quantify its limits -- in energy, costs, safety and environmental impacts. That goes for any leaps in other means of transportation, too.
You know, in the shop over the years you hear over and over how stupid the engineers are who designed the cars. Nearly ever tech both mechanical and collision have said it at least once, including me. Then I got involved with Toyota and GM and knowing some people on the inside who have worked in this industry for year including some design work. The engineer have a real tough job of mixing production, cost, availablilty and the like. After talking with these guys there is most every time a damn good reason why something looks as it does. Sometimes there are things like an engine design is made and then the surrounding componants are added later and they don't match. It is just the way the system works.
|bottom line here is : over the last 50 years, most of the changes or improvements have been in making , safe, comfortable cars. Before you engineers get pissed here, I want to say :I give you guys a lot of credit for the work you do, but, some times I wonder ! Some of my best freinds are 'engineers' , even a V P of engineering, it's like he always tells me'' you have to see the end result '' and that can only research what your told to do , ....As for 'Redsdad', I see by your address that I live about an hour and half North of you, maybe we can get together some time.... there's a V P of Engineering that lives about 2 hours East of here ,builds woodies (cars) from scratch , also a very smart guy. I like toy trains.
And, the internal combustion engine, while very good, is no where near perfect for the application. It must operate in temperatures ranging from -40 F to 120 F. It must go from putting around town in stop and go to 75 mph. It must pull the car with one driver in it one day and 5 adults with 4 suitcases the next. It is unable to convert all of the heat generated in the combustion of fuel to torque to drive the wheels. A good approximation is that 1/3 of the energy goes to the wheels, 1/3 goes out the exhaust, and 1/3 goes into the cooling system. And, for a multitude of reasons, some fuel will not burn and get dumped into the exhaust. You can shift these number around slightly, resulting in small gains, but you will never get 100% combustion and you will never get 100% of the energy to the wheels. This is what some of the high paid engineers employed by the car makers are doing. They are working on shifting these numbers and increasing the percentage of fuel which gets burned. The rest are employed to make the cars safer, cleaner, more aerodynamic, and more comfortable. And until gas tripled in price, 99% of the people buying new cars probably could have cared less if the percentage going to the rear wheels was 33% or 36%.
As for my credentials, I have the best of both worlds. I started helping the older neighborhood kids with their cars when I was about 11. Bought my first car at 15. Went to VoTech for auto mechanics at 19. Worked as a mechanic and shop manager on and off for 15 years. Drag raced a 3800 lb. station wagon. Worked as a stock broker and insurance salesman (where did that one come from? ! ?). Received my BSME at age 34 (took Internal Combustion Engine Theory as an engineering elective). Went to work designing pressure vessels. I now manage a group of young engineers in the same field. (I also ran a small business selling toy trains as a second job for a while). And I am building a 41 Chevy (check my journal).
Im very sorry, I didn't see you age. I obviously read your post wrong, thinking you were 17, and belittleing the work of engineers and scientists.
No disrespect meant, as Im sure you have much more knowledge than me
Grouch, I do agree not all advancements have taken place in a lab or been conducted by researchers. I do however beleive per capita, engineers and scientists are responsible for things working as they do. However, you are correct, many acheivments have been made by people who were thought to be crazy, or backyard madmen.
Look at Galileo. He was prosecuted for his beleives...and what do you know? They were right. Just goes to show, you never quite know.
Again, sorry for the disrespect Knight.
|O K , let me straighten this out ;; I don't know what 'kid' you're referring to .....It's been almost 50 years since I was in high school ( or any school ) ,, as far as the engineers are concerned, they are very smart people. I guess what I'm trying to say is.... I don't agree with some their assignments......( I think )
I am really hoping you didn't intend on saying you could do an engineers job, fresh out of high school. I recently graduated, kid, (and thats what you are), and let me tell you that you really don't know jack out of school. No one does.
Theres a reason these people get paid such big money, and why they had to go to school (and not just high school). There is far more involved in most things than I think you realize.
|O K , but........( I know I'n going to _iss some one off here , )but ..what about all those high paid engineers ? I wish somebody would pay me a '6 figure' or is it 7 figure income, to play and experiment with a research lab! I just barely got thru high school , and can fix ANYTHING you can break ! You gotta admit, like ...., inventing a convertor to burn the gas AFTER it leaves the engine ,is not really very smart ! Sounds like another Oil company involvement here.....
You can't take the time to tune and correct some things that didn't work exactly right the first time. They have to **** and git right from jump street. Anything you do in that business takes some time and planning, and there are a lot of things you can do one at a time that you can't do one a minute.... and one a minute is their business. Been there and own a lot of Tshirts.
|Rob Keller
They have Prior Commitments to their stock holders Mortgage Co. Yacht payments Leer jets you know the whole enchilada.
Plus the Guys @ the Oil Co. you know the ones with the crooked noses will beat their chins off with a lead pipe.
I mean come on have a heart you wouldn't want them guys @ GM with their 10 BILLION Dollar Fiscal year loss to loose all their perks now would ya?
|quote ......(beginning in 2008, it would convert its gasoline Hummers to run on ethanol; by 2010, it said, Hummers would be biodiesel-compatible).........My question to this is...how can it possibley take 3, 4, or 5 years to convert an engine to any of these fuels ? How can it take 3,4, or 5 years to change the compression, maybe dist. differnet injectors ?????? That's like bringing your car to a shop for an overhaul, and him telling you it won't be done til 5 years from now !

Discussion in '2009 Playoffs' started by max, Apr 18, 2009.
Were do the Georgio Armani suits sell for only $500? I mean...Just in case Curry wants to know...
Looks like your prayers will be answered today, Hawks lead by 19 with 4 min to play.
Probably at the swap meets in in east LA or some backrooms in the seedy side Miami
Halftime and the 2nd half of the Hawks/Heat became it's not D Wade's fault.
It's amazing how little I cared about that ATL/MIA series.
Most boring/worst seven game series of all time.
Yep would have been interesting to some of us if we were playing the winner later this week...
I hope we do. When do the playoffs start for the Pistons?
Right now Joe and most of us are hoping for April 20th 2010..
I'm starting to believe in Orlando. They played without Howard and still beat Philly on the road for the series clincher. I hope they whip the Celts and I hope Howard beats some sense into that Rondo punk. Dre, you are absolutely right with the conspiracy theory. Rondo should've received a suspension. He was totally out of control in the Bulls series. He threw an elbow. The fact that he couldn't connect shouldn't matter. If Howard sits out a game for throwing an elbow, so should Rondo. I hope Orlando embarrasses the Celts.
I am wondering if Heinrick had not gotten up off the scorers table and had to be carried off on a stretcher with an injured back etc. if the league would have looked at differently?? Little guys can get away with those things I guess??
Mark my words. Orlando's front court is going to bury Boston.
I'm thinking the reports of the end of the Celts playoff run are a little exaggerated. The Magic really haven't done anything yet, and the Celtics are rounding into form. Rondo and Allen will be very hard for the Magic to stop, and Pierce can get what he wants pretty much whenever he wants it. If Perkins can stay out of foul trouble, and Doc may need to use every single one of Mikki Moore's fouls to make that happen, then it's anybody's series. The Magic didn't play playoff caliber ball against Philly, and with the long layoff could easily stumble badly tonight.
Bingo. That being said w/o KG, BOS presents a very good match-up for ORL. It's not out of the question they get to the ECF and then get owned by a "typical ECF' team in CLE. I do however expect Ray Allen and PP to have a MUCH easier time this series.
I really hope Magic can put the Celtics away. If I have to see the alien-looking Rondo doing idiotic things and not getting trouble on my TV screen any more, I might fling my tv controller at it. Lebron is the MVP, but Hawks should be good.
He gave all of his teammates a flip camera at the announcement ceromony to capture the moments...
The problem is, Boston's back court will do the same to Orlando's weak sauce back court.
Just imagine if Rondo makes it through to the ECF and seriously hurts the NBA poster boy. I'll bet he gets a lifetime ban in that scenario.
@ the Celtics!

Ok I would first like to state that those of you who aren't Christian, I am not discriminating against you, I just want to find people with similar mindsets and things in common as myself. Also, no I am not here to "shove religion down your throat" (however if you have questions and ask so with legitimate interest and not to just start an argument then feel free to ask).
Secondly and mainly, I'm looking for any of you guys here on the forum that are from Wisconsin and are Christian in hopes of playing with you someday. It would be great if I could find some within a reasonable distance from me to play with fairly regularly (I live in Sussex...which is near waukesha, which is near milwaukee haha). So If you are a Christian baller then please hit me up, send me a PM, etc etc (any Christian WI baller is welcome cause i want to get to know you, but especially if you are in my area). Thanks

Not much. Since you're from Kenosha have you played at Promised Land paintball in Trevor? I figured you were Christian based on your sig, but I didn't want to just assume

I will go for a gbf shirt in L please.
Sign me up for a large khaki where the hunt begins tshirt please
T-shirts are Port and Company manufactured by Hanes, 6.1 oz 100% cotton pre-shrunk. Premium ink thin print optimum opacity screen printing. They use a zero heavy hand style.
Forgot to mention that kids sizes are available. :)
are the prices different for kid's sizes? is so, was wanting a shirt for my son, just like mine...=) what sizes are the kids shirts coming in? s, m, l, or numbered? thanks d....
One of each in Large for me. Thanks.
Darrell, check the first post, bruv. I've updated it with the info on kids shirts. The sizing needs to be specific. 1T, 4T, Boys 6, etc...
can i get a 2x? if so i'll take one of each. will they be $22 each if not the same shirt?
Absolutely. I'll put ya down. I checked with the maker and anything 2X and up is $1 more per shirt. Updated in first post. :)
Please sign me up for a Large - "where the hunt begins" shirt.
Thank you!
Wouldn't the khaki color wash out the kill stripes?
I think i dark color would work better maybe Navy? Or Something hunter green like the fett armor?
I would like to get one of each, medium.
Hunter green fights against the green of the design, navy makes the shirt/design look cheap. I can get it done in the same color as the green in the design, if you guys dont mind payin close to $40 a t-shirt....
The Khaki works perfectly since the white in the design itself makes the yellow "pop". It also will hold it's color longer and will keep cooler during these summer months.
Not trying to sound like a jerk, but I'd be more than happy to let someone else take this over if I'm not making the right decisions...
Now that i realize the green will be printed on top of the khaki it makes more sense
Just seen the kids size. I will take a GBF t in age 4 too please.
This is gonna be a sweet deal...when Im away Ima have to just have my name added as #1 permanently
Hey Sonik,
I'd like a large of the top one please!
Oh mama, finally! Put me down for 1 of each in XL please!
Pro Fett (aka hunt begins) in XL, please:thumbsup
I'd like to order one small and one large of each design = four t-shirts. :)
Updated the lists. Thanks all! Stil gotta get that overseas shipping quote for those across the pond. Tomorrow. :)

Discussion in 'February 2008' started by Dlev59, Feb 23, 2008.
Every time I think I'm out, they pull me back in.
Talk about an exclamation point. A lot of nice things were said about Sheed, too, by the ABC folks. I feel this is important to point as a lot of Pistons fans think the national media is anti-Piston. Sheed was unstoppable. I liked when Van Gundy said Sheed should always be on the all-defensive team. Van Gundy was hilarious, talking about how he used to watch "Gilligan's Island" and how McLovin from "Superbad" should win best actor for the Academy Awards. What a clown. Great job by Hayes today, too. I thought Stuckey looked awful on 1 of 9 shooting. Amir continues to put up excellent plus/minus numbers. O'Neal is horrible from the FT line. He has little to no chance to make a shot from there. Stoudamire was the only player that looked good for them. Nice focus showed by the Pistons througout. Hooray!
It is tough to be cactus...
An outstading display of execution from the starters and great play by the bench were no match for the new look Phoenix Suns. The 3rd quarter saw the Piston starters at their best.
Fantastic game. Very well coached (yes i said it) LOL
Wow, what a massacre! This was undoubtedly the Pistons' best win of the season so far. Great start in the first quarter, a brief lull in the 2nd followed by a huge run to end the half, and then a continuation of the beatdown in the 3rd to make the 4th completely meaningless. Sheed was literally unstoppable on the turnarounds in the post...he must have hit 7 or 8 of those without missing once. Dice was hot from the outside early, CB and Rip were getting theirs, and Hayes was red hot with 10 points in the first half. Amir and JMax hit the boards and clogged things up on defense as well. Stuckey struggled in the 2nd quarter, as the Suns cut the lead from 16 or 17 down to 8 while he was out there, but after Flip called timeout with about 4:30 left in the half to get CB and Rip back in, the Pistons closed out the half on a 12-0 run, fueled by the starting guards and Amir dominating on both ends. Amazing performance from almost everyone. Even the Zoo Crew, one of the worst garbage time lineups in the league of late, managed to get their +/- to a respectable level after Herrmann came in and went +8 in the last 3 or 4 minutes!
Very good, fun game to watch (if you're a Piston fan) Best all around game by far. Chauncey, Rip, Tay, and Dice played really well. Sheed was stellar. Jarvis! He brought his J today, gave the Pistons a good boost off the bench. Stuckey - Struggled with his shot. Not the best game for him, but he picked it up some at the end. Afflalo - Excellent D, as expected. Played within himself, under control. Good game for him. Maxiell - His best game by far this year. He was Vintage Maxiell today. Amir - Another great game for the "kid". Nice job standing up to Cactus too.
Well they shot 51.7% (despite Stuckey's 1-9) and held the Suns to 41.6%. They hit 9-18 three balls thanks to Hayes 4-7 and everyone was perfect at the FT line with the exception of AJ, who coincidentally took the fragrant foul by Shaq and was in there when the Pistons close the half on a 12-0 run. Nice game to expose and slow down the SHAQ media train. Billups threaded the needle to perfection despite the egg size knot on his skull and Sheed having his personal battle with Stoudmire was 8-10 with 22 pts and 8 boards. Amare had 31 pts, but 9 of those came after Sheed had sat down and the game was over..yep he padded his stats in the end. Oh yeah Shaq was 1-8 at the FT line...no change there. Hayes, Max and Amir were our bench stars today and all of our starters did their thing.. Just a total team effort to somewhat erase the 2-game slide out of the break.
Only negative in an otherwise great game. He looks tentative again. On a side note, I LOVE JVG. I wish every game had him as the color commentator.
Amir taking it strong at Shaq was the play of the day. Anyone else on the team would have kicked it out. AJ went right at him. Great to see. Overall it was nearly a flawless game from everyone. I won't complain about the little things when you're up by 36 against a team with their record in their building. I did think it was kind of lame of Dantoni to keep Shaq and Amare in the game during the 4th when the game was completely out of hand.
I think he just missed a few easy ones, and was forced into a few tough jumpers with the shot clock winding down. He just needs to get back into the rhythm he was in prior to the break.
Yes, that was a statement. Yes, the youth was unleashed--at the same time that our starters could play with abandon--like the championship year. Our starters don't have to pace themselves as before. Teams are going to have a hard time matching our starters and then also taking the jab of the youth off the bench. Other than the Lakers (who are a year away despite the hype), the Pistons are the only elite team that can come in with that youthful energy. Sheed, who I have said often, is our best player, is focused this year which is a good sign. The Maxiel-Amir defensive rush is important. We still haven't releashed the guard defensive blitz when Hunter returns to go with Afflalo. I have been on Dyss, but this is were he is valuable as he can hit the jumper as Shaq sagged. Dyss can do more now as he hopefully will be asked to do less with more minutes for Amir. This is one reason not to be totally against Jarvis. If he can do that for two games in a series, he is worth it. Only Stuckey seemed to struggle.
Flip coached a great game today
Loved to watch this game- Sheed was unstoppable from the post. He needs to do that more often. Bench did great, I think FLip could have played them even more. I also think Herrmann did ok in garbage time once more- ok, these are worthless minutes, but I still think he definetely can contribute in regular playing time.
I will say this about Walter. I think we are a much better garbage time team with him on the floor. I also think he'd probably be better than Jarvis (at least more consistent), though I don't think he'll get an opportunity. Jarvis seems to put up just enough performances like today to hang on to his spot in the rotation. It just seems like Walter is more the more consistent shooter (maybe not as explosive), better energy guy, and plays more of a team game.
Great game
I wonder, how Jarvis will do in playoffs against tougher defense, where he won't have so many open looks... Herrmann should get a fair chance in regular minutes
I sure hop he does get a chance to show and prove his worth.
He's even a shot-blocker (He had one i think this game) I agree, he's the more well-rounded player, and a much better option in the playoffs. Hopefully, when Jarvis becomes Arvis again, he gets a try.

Have you ever purchased from PartSelect.com before?
Thank you for helping make our site better.
PartSelect Number PS376645
The evaporator is found in the back of the freezer. This kit comes with two mounting grommets, two sleeves (not to be used on porcelain models), two #8 mounting screws, and a push-on fan blade. If you are experiencing symptoms such as the fridge making loud noises (generally stemming from the freezer compartment), or the fridge/freezer feeling warm in temperature, this may indicate a need to replace your evaporator fan motor. This part pulls air into the evaporator coils and then disperses the air in a continuous motion throughout the refrigerator and freezer.
This part works with the following brands: Kenmore, Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Roper, Estate, Caloric.
This part works with the following products: Refrigerator, Freezer.
This part fixes the following symptoms:
First I removed the racks in the freezer. The rack supports on the sides lift off without tools. The evaporator cover is at the back of the freezer. 4 phillips head screws. The cover lifts up then forward to expose the evaporator, evaporator fan and duct. The duct is held by 3 hex head screws. The evaporator fan is attached to the duct with a wiring pigtail to a plug. Unplug the fan and remove the duct. The fan is held by 2 hexhead screws. The new fan is put in place and assembly is simply the reverse of disassembly. The unit is quiet and cools properly now. The new part fit perfectly.
Help other customers find the most helpful instructions.
Were these instructions helpful?
After unplugging the fridge, I removed all the phillips head screws from the evaporator fan housing as well as the back cover and the bottom of the freezer compartment (7) in all. After first removing the bottom cover - then the back cover I could access the evaporator fan unit. This was held in place with two hex-head screws that were easily removed with a nut driver. Then after unplugging the Red, White, and Green wires from the fan I removed it and replaced it with the new one. I did have to break off the two ends of the mounting bracket as described in the instruction sheet since it was too wide. Repeating the above steps in reverse, I had the job done and refridgerator up and running as quiet as could be in less than 15 minutes.
First I Removed the racks. Next 3 hex bolts that secured the ice maker. Undid the ponytail wiring. 3 Phillips screws to remove the metal back. unplugged the Evaporator Fan Motor. Replaced the new one. reassembled.
Unplugged the fridge, emptied the freezer, removed the panel screws, removed the fan assembly retaining nuts, slid the spade wire connectors from the tabs, and performed these tasks in reverse to have the fridge up and running like new. I am not an appliance repair person, but I am not intimidated by simple repairs. Your instructions were easy to follow, and the cry in the kitchen of "we need a new refrigerator" was silenced for less than $50.00. Thanks!
unpluged unit, removed 2 panel screws, removed 4 fan screws, disconnected wires, reassembled
Removed the 3 screws in the back of the freezer, pulled back the metal back plate on the freezer. Removed 4 nuts on the plastic housing that holds the fan and pulled the housing down. Disconnected the wires, unscrewed the 2 screws holding the fan to the housing. Replaced old fan motor with new fan motor onto housing just as it was before. Reconnected the wires. And tested the motor. Worked great. Re-assembled everything as it was and it was done.

Ok its the garage "adult " Beverage chiller.Easy fix First I removed the 4 screws that hold the element in place. I then pulled the element out about 3 inches and disconnected the two wires assembly was the reverse. and the beverages never got warm..
Removed the shelves from the freezer and the brackets holding it along with the covers for the light and plate for the ice maker (we don't have one). Pulled the ground wire from the tab off the port for the ice maker. Removed back plate exposing the fan motor and then the 4 hex screws holding on part #23 of the diagram which the fan motor is mounted to. Flipped it over, unscrewed the 2 hex screws from the fan motor mounting and removed it. Removed and replaced 3 wire connectors on new fan motor. Installed new fan motor and new grommets but used the old screws because the provided screws were larger. Pushed the new fan on to the motor shaft. Reassembled. Half hour most.
I removed all the shelves and the back shelf hanger. Removed two screws on the back plate.Pulled it out.Removed the screws that hold the fan housing. Pulled it out so I could write down the three wires color and location.Unpluged them.Removed the old fan and installed the new one.and put everthing back together.
most of the time spent on repair was removing the food from freezer compartment other than that removal of a couple screws and disconnecting and reconnecting wires not a huge ordeal
I first unplugged the unit.Secondly I unscrewed the back panel and removed it.Third, I unplugged the fan, unscrewed it, removed it, and replaced it with the new fan motor.I then plugged it to confirm that it worked and then put everything back together.

Arsenal Football Club is delighted to announce that Laurent Koscielny has agreed to sign a new long-term contract.
The 26-year-old centre back has established himself as one of Arsenal's most consistent performers since arriving from Ligue 1 side Lorient in the summer of 2010. No other player has started more games for the Club - 85 - over the past two seasons.
Best known for his defensive qualities, the France International has also contributed some important goals for Arsenal, with his most recent - the winner against West Bromwich Albion on the final day of last season - securing the Gunners' qualification into the 2012/13 Champions League.
Koscielny's fine form for Arsène Wenger's team earned him a call-up to the France squad last year. He has now won four caps for his country, including playing the full 90 minutes of Les Bleus' defeat to Spain in the quarter-finals of Euro 2012 last month.
Manager Arsène Wenger said: "Laurent has been outstanding for us over the last two seasons. When you consider that until 2009 he was playing in Ligue 2 in France and that he is now performing at the very top level in the Premier League and for his country, the development that he has shown has been absolutely exceptional. Laurent is a top-class player and I am very pleased he has decided to commit his future to the Club."
Laurent said: "I'm delighted to have reached agreement with the Club. I have had a fantastic time here and look forward to an exciting future with Arsenal."
Everyone at Arsenal Football Club looks forward to Laurent's continued contribution in the forthcoming years.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

Hello my fellow fandom'ers!! I'm a full on newbie and desperately need information an opinions! I am a seamstress and costumer and have been breaking into the Star Wars world for about 2 years. I had and internship working with a popular costumer on the 501's but now I'm off on my own and have so many questions that were not answered!!!
SOoooooo my issue of the day is this:
What color should I dye a boba flight suit if I don't plan on "weathering" it. I have read the 501's approval guidelines and they show that the flight suit should be light grey, however the majority of the comments I see say that light blue is the correct color. Also the majority of the images I have referenced show a light blue tone. I am super nervous about making this the correct color, as it is for a client. PLEASE HELP!!! It would help so much if there was a pantone reference number but I know there is not. So any information or informed opinions would be greatly appreciated. thank you thank you!

After applying the protector and using it I found my screen to be very bright, smooth against the stylus, and resistant to any type of scratch or mark. What more can you ask of a screen protector? Nothing, really. I've found my new favourite screen protector and I think most users will find the same thing in the Martin Shields Overlay Plus."
" The protectors are washable and reusable, and you can't see the plastic after it's applied. It helps reduce glare too.
To test the screen after applying the protector, I tried three different styluses. I have an old (but hard to beat) Cross DigitalWriter (I'm pretty sure they don't sell these anymore), a Cross MicroPen (which is a perfect fit for some Palm devices) and the HP iPAQ h4150 original stylus. The feel on the screen is good, without any scratch sensation when writing. It feels like a brand new screen actually. The stylus glides over the surface, and recognition remains accurate."

"It wasn't until I actually installed an Overlay on my Tapwave Zodiac that I realized that this is the clearest adhesive protector I have ever used. When I say clear, I mean crystal. There is no hint of even the slightest glare-reducing frost effect that I have grown used to with other long-lasting adhesive protectors. There is no "paper feel" texture to add opacity to the protector. In fact, the best way to describe a properly installed Martin Fields Overlay is like this: brand new screen. Seriously."

text: Massachusetts teachers honored at State House ceremony Several MTA members along with three Boston teachers were honored at this year's State House ceremony celebrating some of the state's many exceptional teachers. The ceremony on June 16 recognized teachers honored through various state and national programs, including the Massachusetts Teacher of the Year program, which the MTA helps to fund. "We are proud of all the honorees and proud to be part of a program to celebrate teachers who are smart, compassionate, hard-working, innovative and effective at their jobs," said MTA President Paul Toner. Boston's Monument High School Mathematics Teacher Adam Gray was named the 2012 Massachusetts Teacher of the Year. He succeeds Amherst teacher Floris Wilma Ortiz-Marrero, who received the award last year. Jessica Kodys, a history teacher at Stacy Middle School in Milford, was named the state's 2011 Massachusetts History Teacher of the Year. Kodys, a resident of Mendon, creates authentic experiences for her fifth grade history students to foster curiosity and generate excitement in learning, according to a release issued by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, which oversees the TOY program. "She challenges her students to read, decipher and apply information gathered from primary documents, music and art. In class discussions students are asked to listen to their classmates and model how to respectfully disagree or challenge ideas or perceptions of the people or events being studied," the statement says. "Miss Kodys' expectation for success and her ability to empower her students allows her to educate the whole child, as well as challenge all learners through the use of differentiated instruction," wrote Stacy Middle School Principal Nancy Angelini in her letter of recommendation. The 2012 Teacher of the Year finalists were: Ryan J. King, a Biology teacher at Masconomet Regional Middle School in Topsfield; William Madden-Fuoco, an AP English and Humanities teacher at Urban Science Academy in Boston; and Sarah Roberts, a 3rd and 4th grade teacher at South Shore Charter Public School in Norwell. The Teacher of the Year semifinalists were: Heather A. Batchelor, a History teacher at Turners Falls High School in Montague; Kathleen D. Malone, a 1st grade teacher at Lynch Elementary School in Winchester; Karen Elizabeth McDavitt, a 2nd grade teacher at Joseph Osgood School in Cohasset; and Danielle M. Winn, a 4th grade special education teacher at Arnone Elementary School in Brockton. Also recognized were 2010 Milken Family Foundation Award winner Roni Gold, a 5th grade teacher at Rebecca Johnson Elementary School in Springfield; and the recipients of the 2010 Presidential Awards for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching, Michael Flynn, a 2nd grade teacher at William Norris Elementary School in Southampton, and Wai Chin Ng, a 5th grade teacher at Josiah Quincy Elementary School in Boston. Known as the "Oscars of Teaching," the Milken awards were established to provide public recognition and individual rewards of $25,000 to elementary and secondary teachers, principals, and specialists who are furthering excellence in education. The Presidential Award program was enacted by Congress in 1983. Recipients receive a trip to Washington, D.C. and a $10,000 award.

May 06, 2013
Over the last 20 years, as we have moved towards a knowledge-based economy, the security challenges of maintaining the fidelity of the IT infrastructure have grown dramatically. There has been a massive increase in the number of malware samples encountered by security researchers around the world, from thousands of malware samples in a year to thousands of malware samples per day. On an operational level, endpoint security (desktop/laptops) has grown more complex, and IT security managers frequently report a mix of threat-based and operational security challenges.
Application whitelisting is evolving into a viable primary layer of defense for a certain class of desktop systems. When used in conjunction with existing antivirus solutions, it not only provides a strong defense against emerging threats like APT and targeted malware, it also contributes to reduced operational costs by controlling the sprawl of unauthorized applications. With the extended benefits of application whitelisting and recent technology enhancements that make it easier to implement whitelisting, administrators can look forward to a simpler desktop security model.
With its whitelisting capabilities, McAfee® Application Control coupled with traditional antivirus technology offers a viable solution to many of these problems. McAfee Application Control is a marked improvement over traditional desktop security, offering malware resistance combined with better outbreak management capabilities.

In my quest (read: obsession) to create the most accurate armor vest pattern, I was studying some pics from the Reference CD. Notice below that the vest in the MoM pic seems to have been intentionally ripped to accomodate the pack harness.
Any ideas as to what made the prop guys do this?
Also...most vest patterns, including mine, have a small semi-circle cutout at the bottom for the pack attachment area, but looking at the MoM pic, it seems the entire lower area of the back is curved to allow the attachment. Does anyone else see this?
Does anyone have better shots of the vest (minus the pack) from behind?

EXCLUSIVE: Lessig responds to distortions by WND's Klein
On October 5, WorldNetDaily's Aaron Klein claimed [1] that Obama campaign technology adviser Lawrence Lessig and the group he founded, Creative Commons, "distributed" and "mass marketed" videos by Al Jazeera of "Israel's December 2008 war in Gaza targeting Hamas." But Lessig says that characterization is inaccurate.
Lessig told Media Matters that Klein mischaracterized what Creative Commons does. It is a nonprofit licensing organization that establishes rights and offers legal tools to help protect creative work on the Internet under a form of copyright protection. A typical Creative Commons license allows [2] others to legally share, use, repurpose, and remix the work of others as long as credit is given to the original creator.
"We have nothing to do with hosting or the selection of the content," Lessig said.
Klein claimed that Creative Commons "launched a massive repository of broadcast-quality video footage, working with Al Jazeera to make the Arab network's video footage available for free downloading." That's not true, Lessig said; Creative Commons does not host video by Al Jazeera or anyone else. Al Jazeera video available under the Creative Commons license resides on the Al Jazeera website [3].
Lessig said there were no special dealings with Al Jazeera for it to obtain a Creative Commons license. He had spoken at a Internet conference in Qatar, he said, and that's where Al Jazeera became aware of Creative Commons licenses.
"There's no negotiation," Lessig said. "You just come to our website and take the license."
Klein claimed that "During the time it worked with Lessig's group, Al Jazeera said its online broadcasts increased by over 500 percent, while views of videos on its YouTube channel increased by more than 150 percent." But the January 2009 New York Times article [4] from which Klein took the claim did not attribute the increase directly to working with Creative Commons, instead stating that they came in the wake of the 2008 Gaza conflict. The Times had separately noted that "Al Jazeera planned to announce this week that all its video material of the war in Gaza would become available under a lenient Creative Commons license, which effectively means it can be used by anyone -- rival broadcaster, documentary maker, individual blogger -- as long as Al Jazeera is credited."
Klein also highlighted a claim that Lessig "drew some controversy during the 2008 campaign after he circulated a video depicting Jesus lip-syncing to Gloria Gaynor's late 1970s disco hit 'I Will Survive.' In the video, a mock Jesus is seen stripping down to just a diaper while he effeminately struts along a city street and finally gets run over by a speeding bus." That's a distortion too, Lessig said.
Lessig said he had given an hour-long lecture in which he had used the video, among several others, to illustrate the intellectual property issues he was discussing.
"Somebody took this one-hour talk and cut it down to me introducing this video, which created the impression that all I was doing in life was going around showing this video," he said.
That edited video was later circulated [5] by conservatives in an attempt to get Lessig dropped from testifying at a Senate hearing about net neutrality. Lessig called it an attempt to "disqualify me as somebody Republicans are allowed to listen to."
Lessig testified as scheduled, but "every Republican senator left the room," he said.
Media Matters has documented [6] Klein's [7] lengthy [8] history [9] of making [10] false and misleading claims [11] about Obama, members of his administration, and others who support Obama's agenda.

Re: Getting into sailing
For the money you'll put into building a "small boat" you would of been able to get a 25 to 26 foot Coronado of Columbia keel boat that would be forgiving and yet able to get some serious water under you. Weekending would be more comfortable and because you didn't cross the 27 foot barrier costs would be a little cheaper for just about everything. I am on the west coast (So Cal) and I sailed a dingy once or twice as a child. At the age of 30 I bought a 21' trailer sailer, had it 2 years then to a 25 trailer sailer for 3 years then into a 30 for a few years, sold it in 97' now I am back sailing with a 25 Coronado and I am really liking it, even after having a 30' I don't mind the difference because this 25 is very roomy for its size and I will be sailing to Catalina Island often (25 miles) open ocean and over nighters offshore down to San Diego or up to Santa Barbara. I have no problems with this 45 year old boat going offshore, just no trips to Hawaii as this boat was built for coastal cruising.
Re: Getting into sailing
There is a lot of good advice in this discussion, but at the heart of it, I would strongly back the suggestion to buy a small inexpensive boat for your first boat and sail the living daylights out of her. This will be the least expensive and fastest way to learn to sail and decide if the sailing life is for you.
There are a thousand little decisions in building a boat, decisions that you don't always know that you are making. These decisions can be small and insignificant, or they can make a boat a pain in the butt to sail. While an experienced sailor may make some minor mistakes, unless you understand how a boat operates, its easy to make far more serious errors, even building a simple dinghy.
Once you start to learn more about sailing, you can try to crew for folks or do trips to look at and perhaps sail on a range of boats. Once you have spent some time sailing and looking at the range of choices out there, you might still elect to build your own boat, but you would also understand why the James Cook would make a really lousy choice for what you are proposing to do with her.
I apologize that what follows is pretty long, and that I wrote this for another discussion but hopefully it may be helpful to you as you pursue your dreams.....
"The dream of voyaging under sail can be a powerful one. There was a period when several times a month I would receive an email from someone who is considering doing just what you are proposing. I have watched literally dozens of folks go through this. Some are successful in getting 'out there', some discover that they really enjoy sailing and find that they really have no need to 'go out there'; some have discovered that the sailing life is just not for them, and others have not even gotten past the dreaming stage.
From what I have seen, the most successful have been the ones who have been somewhat systematic about going. There is a lot to learn before one can safely venture offshore. No one would assume that they could buy a jet airliner take a few lessons and be able to fly around the world. I think most rational people would expect to start with a small plane and work their way up. But for some reason people assume that they can just go out and buy a big boat, take a couple lessons, read a few books, and then go safely cruising.
While there are people who literally taken a few lessons, read a few books and went out cruising, those that were successful following that route are far more rare than those who have done some kind of apprenticeship. Learning to sail and learning to cruise involves a lot of knowledge and no matter how much you know, there will always be more to learn, but I suggest that you at least take the time to learn the basics, and that just about can't happen if you buy 'a big sailboat' and move your family aboard.
I find myself saying this a lot lately, but here I go again. We all come to sailing with our own specific needs, our own specific goals and our own specific capabilities. The neat thing about sailing is that we all don't have to agree that there is only one right way to go sailing. There is no more truth in expecting that there is one universally right answer about many aspects of sailing than there is in trying to prove that vanilla ice cream is universally better than strawberry ice cream. One area of sailing for which there is no one universally right answer involves the amount of knowledge one requires to go sailing.
For some, all they need or want to know about sailing is just enough knowledge to safely leave the slip sail where they want and get back safely. There is nothing inherently wrong with that approach. Lack of knowledge will impact the level of risk, cost, comfort, and performance, but if you want to get out there with minimal knowledge it can be done. But for others, like myself, there is much more to sailing than simply developing a rudimentary knowledge of sailing basics. If you fall into that camp, it is next to impossible to learn to sail really well on a boat as large as the one in question.
While I am in no way suggesting that this makes sense for everyone, for those who really want to learn to sail well, I strongly suggest that they start out buying either a dinghy (14-18 feet) if they are athletically inclined, or else buying a used 23 to 27 foot, responsive, light-weight, tiller steered, fin keel/spade rudder (ideally fractionally rigged) sloop. Boats like these provide the kind of feedback that is so necessary to teach a newcomer how to really sail well. Boats like these have small enough loads on lines and the helm that you, your spouse and your children if you have them, can all participate and learn together. Being able to learn and participate, the children will be more engaged and less likely to be bored and feel kidnapped.
By sailing well, I mean understanding the nuances of boat handling and sail trim in a way that cannot be learned on a larger boat. Used small boats generally hold their values quite well so that after a year or even few years or so of learning, you should be able to get most of your money out of the small boat and move on to a bigger boat actually knowing something about which specific desirable characteristics of a boat appeal to you as an experienced sailor rather than the preferences of some stranger on some Internet discussion group.
From the advice that you have already gotten you can tell that there will not be a consensus of opinion on how to go distance cruising.
In any event, if I were in your shoes, I would sit down and put together a list of all of the things that I would want to know before I set off voyaging such as:
• Boat handling
• Sail trim
• Rules of the road
• Weather
• Routing
• Boat husbandry, repair and maintenance
• Diesel/ gas engine maintenance and repair
• First aid
• Heavy weather tactics
• Legal restrictions on leaving and entering foreign countries
• Navigation, (Piloting, Celestial, dead reckoning and electronic)
• Provisioning
• Radio operators license exam requirements
• Safe and dangerous fish to eat
• Survival skills
• Etc………..
Once I had what I thought was a complete list, I would set up a schedule to try to develop those areas of skill that I was currently lacking. As much as possible, if there are others involved, I would try to involve all those involved in as many of those aspects as each is capable of understanding. This process could take as little as a year, but more often takes two to three years. The process itself can be very rewarding and can build the kind of skills and knowledge set that would be required to be cast away on that oh so small island that a boat underway represents. But in the course of learning about sailing and boat types, you may also learn enough about yourself that your goals may change along the way. In the end, it is only you who sets your goals, and its only you that gets to change them. There is no sin in changing what you want to do. The only sin is not dreaming in the first place. "
Re: Getting into sailing
Yup, there are folks who would really rather work on a boat than sail it. I am not one of them.

Re: Getting into sailing
I wish I had some more sailing experience before rebuilding my current boat. I got it for free and put about $5000 worth of parts and materials along with well over 200 hours of my labor. Took it down to the fiberglass hull and re framed and fitted the interior / exterior. The boat is worth what I put into it but there are many things I would have done differently if I had the experience that I have just 3 short years later. I also had an awesome time doing it but wish I had just spent the cash on something that was ready to sail.
Re: Getting into sailing
Get to Kentucky Lake and see what is there as I have seen small sail boats out on it.
Re: Getting into sailing
Whatever you do, don't build a boat to take you seriously sailing for the first time. That's nuts.
Find a cheap boat and go sail the hell out of it. Trade up to a bigger better boat and do it again. Then, after you've sailed for a good long time and know much, much more about sailing and sailboats (e.g. - after your circumnavigation) - you'll have a better idea of what kind of boat you'd want to build and the experience to know if it's worth it.
IMUSO - newbs who get suckered into building a boat before they've got much sailing experience rarely end up happy at the end of a seriously long, expensive, and frustrating process.
Just go sail and have fun. It's easy.
